Abstract
AIMS Accurate dose delivery is crucial for cervical cancer volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). We aimed to develop a robust deep-learning (DL) algorithm for fast and accurate dose prediction of cervical cancer VMAT in multicenter datasets and then explore the feasibility of the DL algorithm to endometrial cancer VMAT with different prescriptions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We proposed the AtTranNet algorithm for three-dimensional dose prediction. A total of 367 cervical patients were enrolled in this study. Three hundred twenty-two cervical patients from 3 centers were randomly divided into 70%, 10%, and 20% as training, validation, and testing sets, respectively. Forty-five cervical patients from another center were selected for external testing. Moreover, 70 patients of endometrial cancer with different prescriptions were further selected to test the model. Prediction precision was evaluated by dosimetric difference, dose map, and dose-volume histogram metrics. RESULTS The prediction results were all clinically acceptable. The mean absolute error within the body in internal testing was 0.66 ± 0.63%. The maximum |δD| for planning target volume was observed in D98, which is 1.24 ± 2.73 Gy. The maximum |δD| for organs at risk was observed in Dmean of bladder, which is 4.79 ± 3.14 Gy. The maximum |δV| were observed in V40 of pelvic bones, which is 4.77 ± 4.48%. CONCLUSION AtTranNet showed the feasibility and reasonable accuracy in the dose prediction for cervical cancer in multiple centers. The model can also be generalized for endometrial cancer with different prescriptions without any transfer learning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the effectiveness of the modified tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (Snodgrass Technique) in hypospadias surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS A study was conducted on 50 pediatric patients with hypospadias treated in our hospital from May 2020 to May 2023. The patients were divided into two groups based on the condition of their urethral plate; 22 patients were included in the study group and 28 patients were included in the control group. The control group underwent the traditional Snodgrass technique, while the study group received the modified Snodgrass technique. The two groups were compared in terms of treatment efficacy, preoperative and postoperative 6-month Hypospadias Objective Scoring Evaluation (HOSE) scores, surgical data, and postoperative complications. RESULTS The operation time for the study group was longer than that of the control group, and the intraoperative blood loss was less, but the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The success rate of surgery in the study group was 95.45% (21/22), compared to 71.43% (20/28) in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The maximum urinary flow rate at 3 and 6 months postoperatively was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (p < 0.05). The time to maximum flow (TQmax) and post-void residual (PVR) at 3 and 6 months postoperatively were significantly lower in the study group (p < 0.05). A total of 3 patients in the cohort developed urethral fistulas, all between 0.10 cm x 0.10 cm and 0.15 cm x 0.15 cm in size. By instructing the patients to apply pressure to the fistula during urination, all fistulas closed between 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The incidence of postoperative complications was 4.55% in the study group and 28.57% in the control group, a difference that was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The modified Snodgrass technique shows significant therapeutic effectiveness in hypospadias surgery, substantially increasing the success rate and reducing postoperative complications in pediatric patients, making it suitable for widespread application.

Abstract
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are crucial for neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. Dysfunction of NMDARs is associated with multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, including epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disability. Understanding the impact of genetic variants of NMDAR subunits can shed light on the mechanisms of disease. Here, we characterized the functional implications of a de novo mutation of the GluN2A subunit (P1199Rfs*32) resulting in the truncation of the C-terminal domain. The variant was identified in a male patient with epileptic encephalopathy, multiple seizure types, severe aphasia, and neurobehavioral changes. Given the known role of the CTD in NMDAR trafficking, we examined changes in receptor localization and abundance at the postsynaptic membrane using a combination of molecular assays in heterologous cells and rat primary neuronal cultures. We observed that the GluN2A P1199Rfs*32-containing receptors traffic efficiently to the postsynaptic membrane but have increased extra-synaptic expression relative to WT GluN2A-containing NMDARs. Using in silico predictions, we hypothesized that the mutant would lose all PDZ interactions, except for the recycling protein Scribble1. Indeed, we observed impaired binding to the scaffolding protein postsynaptic protein-95 (PSD-95); however, we found the mutant interacts with Scribble1, which facilitates the recycling of both the mutant and the WT GluN2A. Finally, we found that neurons expressing GluN2A P1199Rfs*32 have fewer synapses and decreased spine density, indicating compromised synaptic transmission in these neurons. Overall, our data show that GluN2A P1199Rfs*32 is a loss-of-function variant with altered membrane localization in neurons and provide mechanistic insight into disease etiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to characterize a metabolic brain network associated with X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP). METHODS Thirty right-handed Filipino men with XDP (age = 44.4 ± 8.5 years) and 30 XDP-causing mutation negative healthy men from the same population (age = 37.4 ± 10.5 years) underwent [18 F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Scans were analyzed using spatial covariance mapping to identify a significant XDP-related metabolic pattern (XDPRP). Patients were rated clinically at the time of imaging according to the XDP-Movement Disorder Society of the Philippines (MDSP) scale. RESULTS We identified a significant XDPRP topography from 15 randomly selected subjects with XDP and 15 control subjects. This pattern was characterized by bilateral metabolic reductions in caudate/putamen, frontal operculum, and cingulate cortex, with relative increases in the bilateral somatosensory cortex and cerebellar vermis. Age-corrected expression of XDPRP was significantly elevated (p < 0.0001) in XDP compared to controls in the derivation set and in the remaining 15 patients (testing set). We validated the XDPRP topography by identifying a similar pattern in the original testing set (r = 0.90, p < 0.0001; voxel-wise correlation between both patterns). Significant correlations between XDPRP expression and clinical ratings for parkinsonism-but not dystonia-were observed in both XDP groups. Further network analysis revealed abnormalities of information transfer through the XDPRP space, with loss of normal connectivity and gain of abnormal functional connections linking network nodes with outside brain regions. INTERPRETATION XDP is associated with a characteristic metabolic network associated with abnormal functional connectivity among the basal ganglia, thalamus, motor regions, and cerebellum. Clinical signs may relate to faulty information transfer through the network to outside brain regions. ANN NEUROL 2023;94:684-695.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the intelligent flipper (IFLIP) system in identifying binocular vision anomalies. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study comprised 70 participants aged 18 to 22. Participants underwent comprehensive eye assessments, including measurement of visual acuity, refraction, far and near cover test, stereopsis, and worth four dot test. The manual accommodation amplitude and facility, as well as the IFLIP system test, were also evaluated. The correlation between the indices of the IFLIP and manual accommodation tests was analyzed using multiple regression models, and the diagnostic ability of the IFLIP was characterized using Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) analysis. The significance level was 0.05. RESULTS The mean age of the 70 participants was 20.03±0.78 years. The mean manual and IFLIP accommodation facilities were 12.00±3.70 cycle per minute (CPM) and 10.01±2.77 CPM, respectively. No correlation was found between the indices of the IFLIP system and manual accommodative amplitude. However, the regression model showed that the contraction/relaxation ratio of the IFLIP system was positively correlated to the manual accommodation facility, and the average contraction time was negatively correlated with the manual accommodation facility. The ROC analysis proposed a cut-off of 10.15 CPM monocularly for the IFLIP accommodation facility assessment. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that the parameters obtained by the IFLIP system and the manual accommodation facility were comparable, and the IFLIP system had good sensitivity and specificity in the assessment of the accommodation facility, thus may serve as a promising tool for screening and diagnosis of binocular visual function anomalies in clinical and community settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular dysfunction, including cerebral hypoperfusion, plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), independent of amyloid and tau pathology. We established an AD-related perfusion pattern (ADRP) measured with arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI using multivariate spatial covariance analysis. METHODS We obtained multimodal MRI including pseudo-continuous ASL and neurocognitive testing in a total of 55 patients with a diagnosis of mild to moderate AD supported by amyloid PET and 46 normal controls (NCs). An ADRP was established from an identification cohort of 32 patients with AD and 32 NCs using a multivariate analysis method based on scaled subprofile model/principal component analysis, and pattern expression in individual subjects was quantified for both the identification cohort and a validation cohort (23 patients with AD and 14 NCs). Subject expression score of the ADRP was then used to assess diagnostic accuracy and cognitive correlations in AD patients and compared with global and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) in specific areas identified from voxel-based univariate analysis. RESULTS The ADRP featured negative loading in the bilateral middle and posterior cingulate and precuneus, inferior parietal lobule, and frontal areas, and positive loading in the right cerebellum and bilateral basal areas. Subject expression score of the ADRP was significantly elevated in AD patients compared with NCs (P < 0.001) and showed good diagnostic accuracy for AD with area under receiver-operator curve of 0.87 [95% CI (0.78-0.96)] in the identification cohort and 0.85 in the validation cohort. Moreover, there were negative correlations between subject expression score and global cognitive function and performance in various cognitive domains in patients with AD. The characteristics of the ADRP topography and subject expression scores were supported by analogous findings obtained with regional CBF. CONCLUSIONS We have reported a characteristic perfusion pattern associated with AD using ASL MRI. Subject expression score of this spatial covariance pattern is a promising MRI biomarker for the identification and monitoring of AD.

Abstract
Degradable bone cement has superior osteoconductivity and plasticity and is commonly used to treat defects greater than the critical-size. Magnesium gallate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Mg-MOF), with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, are doped into a composite cement composed of calcium sulfate, calcium citrate, and dicalcium hydrogen phosphate anhydrous (CS/CC/DCPA). The doping of the Mg-MOF slightly influences the microstructure and curing properties of the composite cement, with the mechanical strength of the cement displaying a significant increase from 27 to 32 MPa. Antibacterial tests reveal that the Mg-MOF bone cement has excellent antibacterial characteristics and can effectively inhibit bacterial growth in 4 h (Staphyloccocus aureus survival rate <10%). Herein, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage models are used to investigate the anti-inflammatory characteristics of composite cement. The Mg-MOF bone cement can regulate the inflammatory factors and polarization of macrophages (M1 and M2). In addition, the composite cement promotes cell proliferation and osteo-differentiation of mBMSCs, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase and calcium nodules are increased. The bone related transcription factor and specific proteins, such as runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), bone morphogenetic protein 2, osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), and collagen type 1 (COL1), were highly expressed by the Mg-MOF bone cements. Therefore, Mg-MOF doped CS/CC/DCPA bone cement is multifunctional for bone repair, which will promote bone formation and avoid the infection of wounds, and it is suitable for use with non-load-bearing bone defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a nomogram to detect improved knee pain in osteoarthritis (OA) by integrating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics signature of subchondral bone and clinical characteristics. METHODS Participants were selected from the Vitamin D Effects on Osteoarthritis (VIDEO) study. The primary outcome was 20% improvement of knee pain score over 2 years in participants administrated either vitamin D or placebo. Radiomics features of subchondral bone and clinical characteristics from 216 participants were extracted and analyzed. The participants were randomly split into the training and validation cohorts at a ratio of 8:2. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to select features and generate radiomics signatures. The optimal radiomics signature and clinical indicators were fitted into a nomogram using multivariable logistic regression model. RESULTS The nomogram showed favorable discrimination performance [AUCtraining, 0.79 (95% CI: 0.72-0.79), AUCvalidation, 0.83 (95% CI: 0.70-0.96)] as well as a good calibration. Additional contributing value of fusion radiomics signature to the nomogram was statistically significant (NRI, 0.23; IDI, 0.14, P < 0.001 in training cohort and NRI, 0.29; IDI, 0.18, P < 0.05 in validating cohort). Decision curve analysis confirmed the clinical usefulness of nomogram. CONCLUSION The radiomics-based nomogram comprising the MR radiomics signature and clinical variables achieves a favorable predictive efficacy and accuracy in differentiating improvement in knee pain among OA patients. This proof-of-concept study provides a promising way to predict clinically meaningful outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic performance of MRI Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2018 in high-risk hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with intrahepatic parenchymal substantial lesions ≤3.0 cm. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in hospitals between September 2014 to April 2020. 131 pathologically confirmed non-HCC cases with lesions ≤3.0 cm in diameter were randomly matched with 131 cases with lesions ≤3.0 cm in diameter and divided into benign (56 cases), other hepatic malignant tumor (OM, 75 cases), and HCC group (131 cases) in a 1:1 ratio. MRI features of the lesions were analyzed and classified according to LI-RADS v2018 criteria (tie-break rule was applied to lesions with both HCC and LR-M features). Taking the pathological results as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of the LI-RADS v2018 classification criteria and the more stringent LR-5 criteria (with three main signs of HCC at the same time) were calculated for HCC, OM or benign lesions diagnosis. Mann -Whitney U test was used to compare the classification results. Results: The number of cases classified as LR-M, LR-1, LR-2, LR-3, LR-4, and LR-5 in HCC group after applying the tie-break rule were 14, 0, 0, 12, 28, and 77, respectively. There were 40, 0, 0, 4, 17, 14 and 8, 5, 1, 26, 13, 3 cases in benign and OM group, respectively. There were 41 (41/77), 4 (4/14) and 1 (1/3) lesion case in the HCC, OM and benign group, respectively, that met the more stringent LR-5 criteria. The sensitivity of LR-4 combined with LR-5 (LR-4/5) criteria, LR-5 criteria and more stringent LR-5 criteria for HCC diagnosis were 80.2% (105/131), 58.8% (77/131) and 31.3% (41/131), respectively, and the specificity were 64.1% (84/131), 87.0% (114/131) and 96.2% (126/131), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of LR-M were 53.3% (40/75) and 88.2% (165/187), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity using LR-1 combined with LR-2 (LR-1/2) criteria for the diagnosis of benign liver lesions were 10.7% (6/56) and 100% (206/206), respectively. Conclusions: LR-1/2, LR-5, and LR-M criteria have high diagnostic specificity for intrahepatic lesions with a diameter of ≤3.0 cm. Lesions classified as LR-3 are more likely to be benign. The specificity of LR-4/5 criteria is low, while the more stringent LR-5 criteria has a high specificity for HCC diagnosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Sarcomatoid porocarcinoma of skin is an exceedingly rare and diagnostically challenging malignancy of the sweat gland. In this report, we describe a rare case of a sarcomatoid eccrine porocarcinoma initially diagnosed to be a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a patient with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC).
Methods/Case Report
Our patient is a 60 year old male with stage IV, poorly differentiated UC status post TURBT with residual tumor, and a 4 x 3 x 1 cm, polypoid, ulcerating skin nodule on his right cheek presumptively diagnosed to be an SCC on biopsy at an outside hospital. Given the concern that this cutaneous lesion may be a metastatic UC with squamous differentiation, the skin nodule was re-biopsied at our hospital. On histology, the lesion consisted of sheets of squamoid, polygonal cells in the dermis with pleomorphic nuclei showing irregular contours, prominent nucleoli, coarse chromatin, and frequent mitoses. The tumor was focally connected to the epidermis, which established it as a primary skin neoplasm and not a metastatic lesion. The tumor cells stained diffusely positive for vimentin, AE1/AE3, CK5/6, HMW CK, CK7, p63, and p16, negative for CK20, GATA-3, BerEP4, and Sox10, and showed high Ki67 proliferation index. Within the tumor sheets were poorly formed, focal ductal elements that stained positive for CAM5.2, EMA, CEA, and CK19, and negative for p63. The tumor showed comedo necrosis, epidermal ulceration, and no keratinization. The tumor was diagnosed to be a porocarcinoma given its positive staining for CK7 and p16, presence of focal ductal elements, and epidermal connection, with sarcomatoid features indicated by strong vimentin expression.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA.
Conclusion
In this report, we described an exceedingly rare, diagnostically challenging case of a sarcomatoid porocarcinoma initially suspected to be a cutaneous SCC or metastatic UC with squamous differentiation. Although the tumor cells morphologically resembled SCC, its positive staining for CK7 and p16, presence of ductal elements, and lack of keratinization, favored a diagnosis of porocarcinoma rather than cutaneous SCC. Its focal connection to the epidermis and lack of GATA-3 expression favored a primary skin neoplasm rather than a metastatic UC. Its sarcomatoid nature was indicated by strong vimentin expression. Sarcomatoid porocarcinoma is diagnostically challenging given its rarity and potential to mimic other cutaneous malignancies such as SCC.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) accounts for 10%-15% of all primary thyroid cancers. Follicular thyroid cancer is known to metastasize hematogenously, with distant metastasis occurring in 6-20% of cases. Scalp metastasis with an underlying thyroid carcinoma is an exceedingly rare clinical entity; there are less than 15 case reports in the literature. 1-2. Here, we present a case of widely invasive FTC with skull metastases located on the parietal calvarium. The scalp mass was confirmed as follicular thyroid carcinoma via microscopic morphology and positive immunoreactivity for Vimentin, TTF1, thyroglobulin, and PAX8. We present this case not only because of the diagnostic challenge and rare scalp metastasis, but also because of the patient’s unusual “silent” thyroid medical history and no abnormal thyroid uptake by PET-CT.
Methods/Case Report
81-year-old female presenting 2-year history of right parietal scalp mass, which was previously suspected for lipoma with attempted resection in Mexico but interrupted due to severe hemorrhage. No palpable thyroid nodule was noted. PET-CT showed avid lesions of the right breast with nipple retraction, as well as avid suspicious lesions of bilateral lungs, calvarium, xiphoid process, right acetabulum, T spine most c/f widely metastatic cancer, most likely a breast primary; evaluation of the neck demonstrates physiologic FDG-activity in the thyroid. Thyroid studies showed hyperthyroidism: TSH (L) <0.010 uIU/mL; Free T3 (H) 4.7 pg/mL and Free T4 1.00 ng/d. The patient was performed Ultrasound-guided FNA and core biopsy of the large parietal scalp lesion, however, FNA of the cystic component was nondiagnostic (no malignant cells seen).
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA.
Conclusion
Core biopsy of the large parietal mass the tumor cells tend to form follicular or microfollicular architecture with colloid present, but no papillary nuclear features. Rare mitotic figures are seen. IHC stain of tumor cells are positive for AE1/AE3, Cam5.2, CK7, TTF1, thyroglobulin, PAX8, and Vimentin, which show strong evidence for metastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) origin. Tumor cells are negative for Napsin-A, P63, Synaptophysin, Ck5/6, Ck20, EMA, WT1, CDX2, GATA3, Mammaglobin, ER, PR, and BRST2, which helps rule out the primary malignancy from lung, breast, neuroendocrine or other adenocarcinomas.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive tumor of skeletal muscle differentiation that predominantly affects adolescents and young adults, and is rare over 45 years of age. It has poor prognosis with metastasis, and most commonly spreads to the lymph nodes, bone marrow, and lungs. In this report, we describe a middle-aged patient with a primary sinonasal alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma which metastasized to the right testicle, an unusual metastatic site reported only a few times in literature.
Methods/Case Report
Our patient is a 53 year old male who presented in 2020 with recurrent epistaxis and bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy over a 2 month period. Maxillofacial CT/MRI imaging revealed a 4-cm sized mass within the left nasal cavity eroding into the ethmoid sinuses. The patient underwent endoscopic sinus surgery of the sinonasal mass, which on histology, appeared as poorly differentiated small round blue cells with numerous mitoses infiltrating as single cells and nests. These cells stained positive for vimentin, myogenin, desmin, and CD56, and negative for AE1/AE3, chromogranin, S-100, CD99, and CD45. The cells showed very high Ki67 proliferation index (70-80%) and tested positive for FOXO1 gene rearrangement, which supported the diagnosis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The patient completed chemoradiation therapy, and MRI scans over the next 2 years were negative for residual sinonasal tumor. However, the patient returned in 2022 after having undergone a right orchiectomy at an outside hospital for testicular pain, and abdominal CT showed diffuse retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy concerning for metastasis. On histology, the resected testicle showed seminiferous tubules infiltrated and destroyed by sheets of poorly differentiated small round blue cells with fibrous septae separating the nests of tumor cells into alveolar-like spaces with central loss of cohesion. The tumor cells showed the same immunohistochemical staining pattern as the primary sinonasal lesion, thus confirming it to be metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA.
Conclusion
It is unusual for alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas to occur in adults over 45 years old, and is even rarer for these tumors to metastasize to the testicle. Metastases also only account for 1% of testicular tumors. Our report documents a very rare case of an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in a middle-aged adult which metastasized to the testicle after chemoradiation therapy.

Abstract
White spot lesions and enamel cracks are the 2 most prominent diseases that occur after orthodontic treatment and are caused by enamel demineralization from accumulated bacterial biofilms and/or enamel damage caused by the removal of residual adhesive after bracket debonding. Inspired by the self-assembled amelogenin nanoribbons in enamel, we developed an enamel coating with a self-assembling antimicrobial peptide, D-GL13K, to simultaneously reduce demineralization and residual adhesive. The self-assembled amphiphilic nanoribbons significantly increased the hydrophobicity of the etched enamel, which reduced the permeability of the coated enamel surfaces as desired. The antimicrobial activity of this coating was evaluated against Streptococcus mutans by colony-forming unit counting and live/dead assays. The anti-demineralization effect was demonstrated by the reduced demineralization depth analyzed by optical coherence tomography and the increased Vickers hardness. The coatings did not reduce the shear bond strength but significantly reduced the adhesive remnant index score. This bioinspired enamel coating may provide a new strategy for preventing white spot lesions and enamel cracks after orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
We use the beam model of Doppler backscattering (DBS), which was previously derived from beam tracing and the reciprocity theorem, to shed light on mismatch attenuation. This attenuation of the backscattered signal occurs when the wavevector of the probe beam's electric field is not in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. Correcting for this effect is important for determining the amplitude of the actual density fluctuations. Previous preliminary comparisons between the model and Mega-Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) plasmas were promising. In this work, we quantitatively account for this effect on DIII-D, a conventional tokamak. We compare the predicted and measured mismatch attenuation in various DIII-D, MAST, and MAST-U plasmas, showing that the beam model is applicable in a wide variety of situations. Finally, we performed a preliminary parameter sweep and found that the mismatch tolerance can be improved by optimizing the probe beam's width and curvature at launch. This is potentially a design consideration for new DBS systems.

Abstract
We conducted a double-blinded phase I clinical trial to establish whether nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) replenishment therapy, via oral intake of nicotinamide riboside (NR), is safe, augments cerebral NAD levels, and impacts cerebral metabolism in Parkinson's disease (PD). Thirty newly diagnosed, treatment-naive patients received 1,000 mg NR or placebo for 30 days. NR treatment was well tolerated and led to a significant, but variable, increase in cerebral NAD levels-measured by 31phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy-and related metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid. NR recipients showing increased brain NAD levels exhibited altered cerebral metabolism, measured by 18fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography, and this was associated with mild clinical improvement. NR augmented the NAD metabolome and induced transcriptional upregulation of processes related to mitochondrial, lysosomal, and proteasomal function in blood cells and/or skeletal muscle. Furthermore, NR decreased the levels of inflammatory cytokines in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Our findings nominate NR as a potential neuroprotective therapy for PD, warranting further investigation in larger trials.

Abstract
Abstract
To determine the most effective preservation method for MiBa (a traditional Chinese rice product), MiBa treated with 75% alcohol, 75% alcohol + inhibitor, ozone treatment; untreated (control); and raw rice were subjected to 16S rRNA gene and ITS three-generation sequencing by High-throughput Sequencing Technology. According to the results the preservation effects of different treatment methods ranked as follows: ozone treatment >75% alcohol treatment >75% alcohol+inhibitor > control. Bacterial composition analysis showed that the bacterial community on the surface of MiBa treated with ozone was dominated by genera Leuconostoc and Serratia. The fungal community consisted mainly of Aspergillus and Alternaria. In summary, ozone treatment proved to be the most effective in inhibiting microbial contamination during the storage of MiBa, effectively extending its shelf life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis and quantify the associations of total mortality with calf circumference (CC) in adults 18 years and older via combining various analyses based on empirical dichotomic CC, continuous CC, and dose-response CC. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of relevant studies in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science published through April 12, 2022. This systematic review includes longitudinal observational studies reporting the relationships of total mortality with CC. We calculated the pooled relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of total mortality with CC per 1 cm for each study and combined the values using standard meta-analysis approaches. Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS), Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations approach (GRADE), and the Instrument for assessing the Credibility of Effect Modification Analyses (ICEMAN) were assessed for meta-analyses. RESULTS Our analysis included a total of 37 cohort studies involving 62,736 participants, across which moderate heterogeneity was observed (I2=75.7%, P<0.001), but no publication bias was found. Study quality scores ranged from 6 to 9 (mean 7.7), with only three studies awarded a score of 6 (fair quality). We observed an inverse trend between total death risk and CC per 1 cm increase (RR, 0.95, 95% CI, 0.94-0.96; P<0.001; GRADE quality=high). Only a very slight difference was found among residents of nursing homes (6.9% mortality risk reduction per one cm CC increase), community-dwellers (5.4%), and those living in hospitals (4.8%), respectively (P for meta-regression=0.617). Low credible subgroup difference was found based on the ICEMAN tool. CONCLUSIONS Calf circumference is a valid anthropometric measure for mortality risk prediction in a community, nursing home, or hospital.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Sweat gland carcinomas are a group of malignant skin adnexal tumors that are difficult to diagnose due to their rarity, wide morphologic variation, and limited literature on diagnosis and classification. These tumors may appear bland and morphologically resemble benign skin adnexal tumors, or may appear poorly differentiated and mimic metastatic carcinoma especially from a breast primary. Biphasic sweat gland carcinomas are an even rarer entity, with only few cases reported in literature, and have been described to consist of a well- differentiated ductal epithelial component and a poorly differentiated, sarcomatoid, spindle cell component.
Methods/Case Report
Our case report describes a 53 year old female referred to our institution for diagnosis of an excised skin lesion of the right upper arm, which had been slowly growing for 8 years. The histology revealed a biphasic malignant neoplasm involving the dermis and subcutis. The tumor consisted of an epithelial cell component with glandular and squamoid morphology and positive for CK5/6, CK7, and CAM5.2, and a spindled myoepithelial cell component with sarcomatoid morphology and positive for S100, vimentin, and p63. Stains for CK20, ER, PR, PAX8, CEA, and TTF1 were negative. The histological and clinical findings favored a primary skin adnexal tumor, rather than a metastatic lesion.
The patient underwent wide local excision of the lesion given that margins of the original excision were indeterminate. The histology of this re-excision demonstrated the same biphasic tumor with ductal epithelial and sarcomatoid myoepithelial cell components positive for the same stains. Although margins were negative in this re-excision, 3-4 months later, the patient developed dyspnea with multiple new pulmonary and hilar masses discovered on imaging, and new-onset headache with a frontal lobe mass discovered on brain imaging. These masses were biopsied/resected, and revealed to be metastases of the original cutaneous tumor positive for the same markers.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA
Conclusion
This case report describes a rare, diagnostically challenging case of a biphasic sweat gland carcinoma with ductal epithelial and sarcomatoid myoepithelial cell components, which demonstrated aggressive behavior with distant metastasis. These tumors are a clinicopathological quandary given their rarity and the paucity of literature on their characterization.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD) is considered one of the rare forms of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is caused by infiltration of different organs with lipid-laden histiocytes with foamy cytoplasm. Clinically, it can present as an indolent localized disease or a fatal disease with multi-organ failure.
Methods/Case Report
Here we report a case of fifty year-old female with a history of Erdheim Chester disease involvement of the left parietal lobe presented to the dermatology clinic with purpuric, tender maculopapular rash on bilateral cheeks, trunk, and bilateral upper extremities. Biopsy of the lesion on central chest revealed acute and chronic superficial dermal inflammation and skin crusting. The dermis is also infiltrated by many foamy lipid-laden macrophages. These macrophages stained with CD68 and CD163 and were S-100 and CD1a negative. BRAF V600E mutation was detected. Based on the immunophenotypic characteristics, as well as the molecular testing results and the clinical history of the patient, diagnosis of cutaneous involvement by Erdheim- Chester disease was made.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA
Conclusion
In summary, despite the fact that skin involvement by Erdheim- Chester disease is rare, it is imperative to consider it in the differential diagnosis of histiocytic diseases affecting the skin and differentiate it from its histologic mimickers. Molecular testing is a helpful tool in the diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester disease. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for guiding treatment plans.

Abstract
Human Coronavirus (CoV) infections, including SARS-COV, MERS-COV, and SARS-CoV-2, usually cause fatal lower and upper respiratory tract infections due to exacerbated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. We aim to summarize different aspects, such as CoV immune evasion mechanisms and host innate immune response to these infections, and their role in pathogenesis. We have also elaborated the up-to-date findings on different vaccine development strategies and progress against CoVs in both humans and non-human models. Most importantly, we have described the Phageome-human immune interaction, its therapeutic usage as anti-viral, anti-inflammatory agent, and implications for multiple vaccine development systems. The data suggest that endogenous phages might play a vital role in eliminating the infection and regulating the body's immune system. Considering the innate-immune-induced pathogenesis against CoVs and the therapeutic aptitude of phageome, we propose that the prophylactic administration of phages and phage-based vaccines could be a useful strategy to control the emerging CoV infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The diagnosis and monitoring of semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (sv-PPA) are clinically challenging. We aimed to establish a distinctive metabolic pattern in sv-PPA for diagnosis and severity evaluation. METHODS Fifteen sv-PPA patients and 15 controls were enrolled to identify sv-PPA-related pattern (sv-PPARP) by principal component analysis of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Eighteen Alzheimer disease dementia (AD) and 14 behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bv-FTD) patients were enrolled to test the discriminatory power. Correspondingly, regional metabolic activities extracted from the voxelwise analysis were evaluated for the discriminatory power. RESULTS The sv-PPARP was characterized as decreased metabolic activity mainly in the bilateral temporal lobe (left predominance), middle orbitofrontal gyrus, left hippocampus/parahippocampus gyrus, fusiform gyrus, insula, inferior orbitofrontal gyrus, and striatum, with increased activity in the bilateral lingual gyrus, cuneus, calcarine gyrus, and right precentral and postcentral gyrus. The pattern expression had significant discriminatory power (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.98, sensitivity = 100%, specificity = 94.4%) in distinguishing sv-PPA from AD, and the asymmetry index offered complementary discriminatory power (AUC = 0.91, sensitivity = 86.7%, specificity = 92.9%) in distinguishing sv-PPA from bv-FTD. In sv-PPA patients, the pattern expression correlated with Boston Naming Test scores at baseline and showed significant increase in the subset of patients with follow-up. The voxelwise analysis showed similar topography, and the regional metabolic activities had equivalent or better discriminatory power and clinical correlations with Boston Naming Test scores. The ability to reflect disease progression in longitudinal follow-up seemed to be inferior to the pattern expression. CONCLUSIONS The sv-PPARP might serve as an objective biomarker for diagnosis and progression evaluation.

Abstract
Brain stimulation technology has become a viable modality of reversible interventions in the effective treatment of many neurological and psychiatric disorders. It is aimed to restore brain dysfunction by the targeted delivery of specific electronic signal within or outside the brain to modulate neural activity on local and circuit levels. Development of therapeutic approaches with brain stimulation goes in tandem with the use of neuroimaging methodology in every step of the way. Indeed, multimodality neuroimaging tools have played important roles in target identification, neurosurgical planning, placement of stimulators and post-operative confirmation. They have also been indispensable in pre-treatment screen to identify potential responders and in post-treatment to assess the modulation of brain circuitry in relation to clinical outcome measures. Studies in patients to date have elucidated novel neurobiological mechanisms underlying the neuropathogenesis, action of stimulations, brain responses and therapeutic efficacy. In this article, we review some applications of deep brain stimulation for the treatment of several diseases in the field of neurology and psychiatry. We highlight how the synergistic combination of brain stimulation and neuroimaging technology is posed to accelerate the development of symptomatic therapies and bring revolutionary advances in the domain of bioelectronic medicine.

Abstract
Previous multi-center imaging studies with 18F-FDG PET have established the presence of Parkinson's disease motor- and cognition-related metabolic patterns termed PDRP and PDCP in patients with this disorder. Given that in PD cerebral perfusion and glucose metabolism are typically coupled in the absence of medication, we determined whether subject expression of these disease networks can be quantified in early-phase images from dynamic 18F-FPCIT PET scans acquired to assess striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) binding. Methods: We studied a cohort of early-stage PD patients and age-matched healthy control subjects who underwent 18F-FPCIT at baseline; scans were repeated 4 years later in a smaller subset of patients. The early 18F-FPCIT frames, which reflect cerebral perfusion, were used to compute PDRP and PDCP expression (subject scores) in each subject, and compared to analogous measures computed based on 18F-FDG PET scan when additionally available. The late 18F-FPCIT frames were used to measure caudate and putamen DAT binding in the same individuals. Results: PDRP subject scores from early-phase 18F-FPCIT and 18F-FDG scans were elevated and striatal DAT binding reduced in PD versus healthy subjects. The PDRP scores from 18F-FPCIT correlated with clinical motor ratings, disease duration, and with corresponding measures from 18F-FDG PET. In addition to correlating with disease duration and analogous 18F-FDG PET values, PDCP scores correlated with DAT binding in the caudate/anterior putamen. PDRP and PDCP subject scores using either method rose over 4 years whereas striatal DAT binding declined over the same time period. Conclusion: Early-phase images obtained with 18F-FPCIT PET can provide an alternative to 18F-FDG PET for PD network quantification. This technique therefore allows PDRP/PDCP expression and caudate/putamen DAT binding to be evaluated with a single tracer in one scanning session.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent studies on a rodent model of Parkinson's disease (PD) have raised the possibility of increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, demonstrated by histology, autoradiography, and positron emission tomography (PET). However, in human PD patients, in vivo evidence of increased BBB permeability is lacking. We examined the hypothesis that levodopa treatment increases BBB permeability in human subjects with PD, particularly in those with levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). METHODS We used rubidium-82 (82Rb) and PET to quantify BBB influx in vivo in 19 PD patients, including eight with LID, and 12 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. All subjects underwent baseline 82Rb scans. Seventeen chronically levodopa-treated patients were additionally rescanned during intravenous levodopa infusion. Influx rate constant, K1, by compartmental modeling or net influx transport, Ki, by graphical approach could not be estimated reliably. However, Vd, the "apparent volume of distribution" based on the 82Rb concentration in brain tissue and blood, was estimated with good stability as a local measure of the volume of distribution. RESULTS Rubidium influx into brain tissue was undetectable in PD patients with or without LID, scanned on and off drug. No significant differences in regional Vd were observed for PD patients with or without LID relative to healthy subjects, except in left thalamus. Moreover, changes in Vd measured off- and on-levodopa infusion were also not significant for dyskinetic and non-dyskinetic subjects. CONCLUSION 82Rb PET did not reveal significant changes in BBB permeability in PD patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) are very rare tumors, accounting for less than 1% of all cervical adenocarcinomas. ACC is an aggressive neoplasm and has poor prognosis while ABC has a favorable prognosis. Coexistence of ACC or ABC and squamous intraepithelial lesion/invasive squamous cell carcinoma in the uterine cervix has been reported in the literature; however, coexistence of ACC and ABC in the uterine cervix is very rare.
Methods
Case presentation: Here we present a case of coexistence ACC and ABC in a 66-year-old woman who suffered from heavy bloody vaginal discharge for one year with weight fluctuations. The cervical exam and CT scan showed a friable mass at the uterine cervix, measuring up to 5.5 cm, and cervical mass punch biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed an intact nonkeratinizing stratified squamous epithelium overlying proliferation of nests punctuated by small round spaces, resembling cribriform pattern in the stroma. The tumor cells were small and basaloid with hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm. Palisading of tumor cells at the peripheral of the tumor nests were observed in some areas. Mitotic figures and necrosis were not seen.
Immunohistochemical stains were performed and showed two distinct patterns of ACC and ABC. ACC tumor cells were positive for CD117, focally positive for CAM5.2 and S100, and negative for p63. ABC tumor cells were positive for p63 and EMA and negative for CD117 and S100. Both ACC and ABC components were positive for p16, Sox 10, BCL-2 and vimentin and negative for CK7, p40, CEA and ER. PAS stain showed positive staining in the basement membrane-like material in ACC component. A final pathologic diagnosis of coexistence of ACC and ABC of the uterine cervix were made.
Conclusion
Literature review revealed that this was an exceedingly rare case of coexistence of ACC and ABC in the uterine cervix. It is extremely important to correctly diagnose ACC and ABC as there is very poor prognosis in the former and good prognosis in the latter.

Abstract
This study produced reliable metabolic brain networks for multiple system atrophy. Network scores discriminated this disorder from other major forms of Parkinsonism. Network scores correlated with clinical stages and motor symptoms in this disorder. The network was highly reproducible across Chinese and American patient cohorts. Network scores provided a clinically useful biomarker in a multi-center setting.
Purpose Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an atypical parkinsonian syndrome and often difficult to discriminate clinically from progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Parkinson's disease (PD) in early stages. Although a characteristic metabolic brain network has been reported for MSA, it is unknown whether this network can provide a clinically useful biomarker in different centers. This study was aimed to identify and cross-validate MSA-related brain network and assess its ability for differential diagnosis and clinical correlations in Chinese and American patient cohorts. Methods We included 18F-FDG PET scans retrospectively from 128 clinically diagnosed parkinsonian patients (34 MSA, 34 PSP and 60 PD) and 40 normal subjects in China and in the USA. Using PET images from 20 moderate-stage MSA patients of parkinsonian subtype and 20 normal subjects in both centers, we reproduced MSA-related pattern (MSAPRP) of spatial covariance and estimated its reliability. MSAPRP scores were evaluated in assessing differential diagnosis among moderate- and early-stage MSA, PSP or PD patients and clinical correlations with disease severity. Regional metabolic differences were detected using statistical parameter mapping analysis. MSA-related network and regional topographies of metabolic abnormality were cross-validated between the Chinese and American cohorts. Results We generated a highly reliable MSAPRP characterized by decreased loading in inferior frontal cortex, striatum and cerebellum, and increased loading in sensorimotor, parietal and occipital cortices. MSAPRP scores discriminated between normal, MSA, PSP and PD subjects and correlated with standardized ratings of clinical stages and motor symptoms in MSA. High similarities in MSAPRPs, network scores and corresponding maps of metabolic abnormality were observed between two different cohorts. Conclusion We have demonstrated reproducible metabolic topographies associated with MSA at both network and regional levels in two independent patient cohorts. Moreover, MSAPRP scores are sensitive for evaluating disease discrimination and clinical correlates. This study supports differential diagnosis of MSA regardless of different patient populations, PET scanners and imaging protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often presents with multiple nodules within the liver, with limited effective interventions. The high genetic heterogeneity of HCC might be the major cause of treatment failure. We aimed to characterize genomic heterogeneity, infer clonal evolution, investigate RNA expression pattern and explore tumour immune microenvironment profile of multifocal HCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing were carried out in 34 tumours and 6 adjacent normal liver tissue samples from 6 multifocal HCC patients. Protein expression of Ki67, AFP, P53, Survivin and CD8 was detected by immunohistochemistry. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was carried out to validate the amplification status of sorafenib-targeted genes. RESULTS We deciphered genomic and transcriptional heterogeneity among tumours in each multifocal HCC patient including mutational profiles, copy number alterations, tumour evolutionary trajectory and tumour immune microenvironment profiles. Of note, sorafenib-targeted alterations were identified in the trunk of phylogenetic tree in only one out of the six patients, which may explain the relative low treatment response rate to sorafenib in clinical practice. Moreover, we demonstrated RNA expression patterns and tumour immune microenvironment profiles of all nodules. We found that RNA expression pattern was associated with Edmondson-Steiner grading. Based on the differential expression of 66 reported immune markers, unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis of 34 nodules identified immune subsets: one low expression cluster with seven nodules and one high expression cluster with 11 nodules. CD8+ T cells were more enriched in nodules of the high expression cluster. CONCLUSIONS Our study provided a detailed view of genomic and transcriptional heterogeneity, clonal evolution and immune infiltration of multifocal HCC. The heterogeneity of druggable targets and immune landscape might help interpret the clinical responsiveness to targeted drugs and immunotherapy for multifocal HCC patients.

Abstract
The Arabidopsis trichome is a polyploid epidermal cell resulting from multiple rounds of endocycles. The CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE INHIBITOR (CKI) family proteins are core cell cycle regulators that promote the endocycle. CONSTITUTIVE EXPRESSION OF PR GENES 5 (CPR5) is a plant-specific nucleoporin. It has been found that two Arabidopsis CKI, SIAMESE (SIM) and SIAMESE-RELATED 1 (SMR1), function downstream of CPR5 to activate plant effector-triggered cell death. The sim smr1 double mutants form multicellular and clustered trichomes, while the cpr5 mutants produce dead and branchless trichomes. This study explored roles of the CPR5-CKI signalling pathway in trichome cell cycle transition. To examine the underlying mechanism of how cell cycle transition is regulated in plant trichomes, Trypan blue staining, flow cytometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nuclear DNA measurement were conducted. The native promoter-driven CKI and GUS fusion reporter showed that both SIM and SMR1 proteins were preferentially expressed in trichomes. The cpr5-induced dead and branchless trichomes were fully suppressed by the sim smr1 double mutant, suggesting that SIM and SMR1 function downstream of CPR5 in trichome development. Flow cytometry analysis showed that as compared to the number of 2C (C = DNA content in a haploid nucleus) cells, the number of 4C cells significantly increased, whereas that of polyploidy cells (8C and 16C) dramatically decreased in the cpr5 mutant. The elevated 4C/2C ratio in the cpr5 mutant is consistent with de-repression of pro-endocycle regulators SIM and SMR1. The polyploidy cells (8C and 16C) may be selectively targeted to cell death, which is therefore attributed to the branchless trichomes in the cpr5 mutant. Nuclear DNA content analysis demonstrated that the nuclear DNA content of trichomes in the cpr5 sim mutant was significantly higher than in the sim mutant, indicating that CPR5 is a negative endocycle regulator in trichomes. This study reveals that the CPR5-CKI signalling pathway controls trichome cell cycle transition and excessive endocycles are required for cell death in plant trichomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between iodine intake and thyroid autoimmunity has been debated, especially in pregnant women. This study aimed to investigate thyroid autoantibodies and their association with iodine intake and hypothyroidism in early pregnancy. METHODS 7073 early pregnant women from an iodine-sufficient region participated in this study. Urinary iodine concentrations (UICs) were measured using an ammonium persulfate method. Serum thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), and Tg were determined using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. RESULTS Iodine deficiency (UIC < 100 μg/L) was associated with higher risks of TPOAb positivity [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] (1.29-2.08)] and TgAb positivity [aOR = 1.44, 95% CI (1.16-1.80)]. Women with isolated TPOAb positivity, isolated TgAb positivity, or both TPOAb and TgAb positivity had a 14.64-fold, 7.83-fold, and 44.69-fold increased risk of overt hypothyroidism, and a 4.36-fold, 2.86-fold, and 6.26-fold increased risk of subclinical hypothyroidism, respectively. Moreover, the risks of overt and subclinical hypothyroidism in women with a high TPOAb titer were 16.99 and 4.80 times that in TPOAb-negative women, respectively. The risk of overt hypothyroidism in women with a high TgAb titer was 6.97 times that in TgAb-negative women. CONCLUSIONS Our work demonstrates that iodine deficiency during early pregnancy is an independent risk factor for both TPOAb positivity and TgAb positivity. Furthermore, positivity for both autoantibodies and a high thyroid autoantibody titer are associated with significantly higher risks of overt and subclinical hypothyroidism.

Abstract
Background The tourniquet is a common medical instrument used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there has always been a debate about the use of a tourniquet and there is no published meta-analysis to study the effects of a tourniquet on blood loss in primary TKA for patients with osteoarthritis. Methods We performed a literature review on high-quality clinical studies to determine the effects of using a tourniquet or not on blood loss in cemented TKA. PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched up to November 2018 for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We conducted a meta-analysis following the guidelines of the Cochrane Reviewer’s Handbook. We used the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing the risk of bias of each trial. The statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager statistical software (version 5.3). Results Eleven RCTs involving 541 patients (541 knees) were included in this meta-analysis. There were 271 patients (271 knees) in the tourniquet group and 270 patients (270 knees) in the no tourniquet group. The results showed that using a tourniquet significantly decreased intraoperative blood loss (P < 0.002), calculated blood loss (P < 0.002), and the time of operation (P < 0.002), but tourniquet use did not significantly decrease postoperative blood loss (P > 0.05), total blood loss (P > 0.05), the rate of transfusion (P > 0.05), and of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (P > 0.05) in TKA. Conclusions Using a tourniquet can significantly decrease intraoperative blood loss, calculated blood loss, and operation time but does not significantly decrease the rate of transfusion or the rate of DVT in TKA. More research is needed to determine if there are fewer complications in TKA without the use of tourniquets.

Abstract
Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) is a well-established metastasis suppressor that is frequently down-regulated in aggressive cancers. However, the impact of RKIP on cancer cell invasion and metastasis in prostate cancer is still elusive. To this end, we overexpressed RKIP in two prostate cancer cell lines. We found that overexpression of RKIP inhibited prostate cancer cells proliferation, migration and invasion. Mechanistically, we found that RKIP overexpression led to down-regula- tion of the NF-kB signaling pathway and inhibition of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, which is important step for cancer metastasis. In addition, overexpression of RKIP can promote drug effects of docetaxel on prostate cancer cell lines. In conclusion, overexpression of RKIP significantly inhibits prostate cancer cell migration and metastasis, and overexpression of RKIP could aid prostate cancer treatment and therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol abuse affects the brain regions responsible for memory, coordination and emotional processing. Binge alcohol drinking has shown reductions in brain activity, but the molecular targets have not been completely elucidated. We hypothesized that brain cells respond to excessive alcohol by releasing a novel inflammatory mediator, called cold inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP), which is critical for the decreased brain metabolic activity and impaired cognition. METHODS Male wild type (WT) mice and mice deficient in CIRP (CIRP-/-) were studied before and after exposure to binge alcohol level by assessment of relative brain glucose metabolism with fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET). Mice were also examined for object-place memory (OPM) and open field (OF) tasks. RESULTS Statistical Parametric Analysis (SPM) of 18FDG-PET uptake revealed marked decreases in relative glucose metabolism in distinct brain regions of WT mice after binge alcohol. Regional analysis (post hoc) revealed that while activity in the temporal (secondary visual) and limbic (entorhinal/perirhinal) cortices was decreased in WT mice, relative glucose metabolic activity was less suppressed in the CIRP-/- mice. Group and condition interaction analysis revealed differing responses in relative glucose metabolism (decrease in WT mice but increase in CIRP-/- mice) after alcohol in brain regions including the hippocampus and the cortical amygdala where the percent changes in metabolic activity correlated with changes in object discrimination performance. Behaviorally, alcohol-treated WT mice were impaired in exploring a repositioned object in the OPM task, and were more anxious in the OF task, whereas CIRP-/- mice were not impaired in these tasks. CONCLUSION CIRP released from brain cells could be responsible for regional brain metabolic hypoactivity leading to cognitive impairment under binge alcohol conditions.
