Abstract
OBJECTIVES To uncover the clinical course of fetal isolated non-immune mediated second-degree AVB and determine the factors associated with the spontaneous recovery for fetal non-immune second-degree atrioventricular block (AVB). METHODS A total of 20 fetuses with isolated, non-immune mediated second-degree AVB were prospectively recruited between 2014 and 2022. These fetuses were divided into the spontaneous recovery group (n=12) and the non-spontaneous recovery group (n=8). Maternal and fetal basic characteristics, intrauterine and postnatal outcomes were compared between groups. RESULTS Twelve fetuses restored 1:1 atrioventricular conduction in utero and did not recur during the postnatal follow-up period. The residual eight fetuses maintained as second-degree AVB and six of them were aborted due to parental request in utero. Of the two live children with second-degree AVB, one of them progressed to complete AVB at the latest follow up at the age of 34 months, but without any symptoms, heart enlargement or dysfunction. The residual one progressed to complete AVB and was finally diagnosed with type 2 long-QT syndrome. Fetuses in the spontaneous recovery group presented with earlier gestational age at diagnosis (20.0[17.0-26.0] vs. 24.5[18.0-35.0] weeks, p=0.004) and higher atrial rate (147[130-160] vs 138.00[125.00-149.00] bpm, p=0.006) in comparison with the non-spontaneous recovery group. A cut-off value of 22.5 weeks of gestational age and 144 bpm of atrial rate at diagnosis could predict the failure of spontaneous recovery, with sensitivities of 87.5%, 75%, and specificities of 92.0%, 87.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The outcome of fetal non-immune second-degree AVB was favorable. Earlier gestational age at diagnosis and higher atrial rate were related to spontaneous reversion for isolated non-immune-mediated second-degree AVB. However, prenatal gene test should be performed for those with persistent AVB to exclude the heritable disorders including LQTS. These findings may provide important references for clinical management and prenatal counseling. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of short-term substitution of recombinant humanized anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody (Basiliximab) as acute GVHD (aGVHD) prophylaxis in calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) intolerant patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: This study included 17 patients with refractory malignant hematological disorders who underwent salvage allo-HSCT at the Bone Marrow Transplantation Department of Shanghai Zhaxin Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital from August 2021 to August 2022 and were treated with Baliximab to prevent aGVHD due to severe adverse reactions to CNI. There were seven men and ten women, with a median age of 43 years (18-67). Following the discontinuation of CNI, Basiliximab was administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg once weekly until CNI or mTOR inhibitors were resumed. Results: Basiliximab was started at an average of 5 (1-32) days after HSCT. The median duration of substitution was 20 (7-120) days. All had neutrophil engraftment within a median of 12 (10-17) days. Thirteen patients had platelet engraftment after a median of 13 (11-20) days. Four patients did not develop stable platelet engraftment. Eight patients (47.1% ) developed Grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD, while four (23.6% ) developed Grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD. Only one patient died from aGVHD. Before the end of the followup period, seven of 17 patients died. The longest followup period of the survivors was 347 days, and the median survival rate was not met. The overall survival (OS) rate at six months was 62.6%. Among the 17 patients, 13 (76.4% ) experienced cytomegalovirus reactivation, 7 (41.2% ) experienced EB virus activation, and no cytomegalovirus disease was observed. Conclusions: When CNI intolerance occurs during allo-HSCT, short-term replacement with Baliximab can be used as an alternative to prevent aGVHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no drugs on the market that can reverse or slow Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. A protease-resistant Cholecystokinin (CCK) analogue used in this study is based on the basic structure of CCK, which further increases the stability of the peptide fragment and prolongs its half-life in vivo. We observed a neuroprotective effect of CCK-8L in APPswe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1) AD mice. However, its corresponding mechanisms still need to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE This study examined CCK-8L's neuroprotective effects in enhancing cognitive impairment by regulating mitochondrial dynamics through AMPK/Drp1 pathway in the APP/PS1 AD mice. METHODS Behavioural tests are applied to assess competence in cognitive functions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed to observe the ultrastructure of mitochondria of hippocampal neurons, Immunofluorescent staining was employed to assay for Aβ1-42, APP, Adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and dynamin-related protein1 (Drp1). CRISPR/Cas9 was utilized for targeted knockout of the CCKB receptor (CCKBR) in the mouse APP/PS1 hippocampal CA1 region. A model of lentiviral vector-mediated overexpression of APP in N2a cells was constructed. RESULTS In vivo, experiments revealed that CCK analogue and liraglutide significantly alleviated cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 mice, reduced Aβ1-42 expression, and ameliorated l damage, which is associated with CCKBR activation in the hippocampal CA1 region of mice. In vitro tests showed that CCK inhibited mitochondrial fission and promoted fusion through AMPK/Drp1 pathway. CONCLUSIONS CCK analogue ameliorates cognitive deficits and regulates mitochondrial dynamics by activating the CCKB receptor and the AMPK/Drp1 pathway in AD mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unsustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is a critical barrier to survival in cardiac arrest patients. This study examined whether end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and pulse oximetry photoplethysmogram (POP) parameters can be used to identify unsustained ROSC. METHODS We conducted a multicenter observational prospective cohort study of consecutive patients with cardiac arrest from 2013 to 2014. Patients' general information, ETCO2, and POP parameters were collected and statistically analyzed. RESULTS The included 105 ROSC episodes (from 80 cardiac arrest patients) comprised 51 sustained ROSC episodes and 54 unsustained ROSC episodes. The 24-hour survival rate was significantly higher in the sustained ROSC group than in the unsustained ROSC group (29.2% vs. 9.4%, P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that the difference between after and before ROSC in ETCO2 (ΔETCO2) and the difference between after and before ROCS in area under the curve of POP (ΔAUCp) were independently associated with sustained ROSC (odds ratio [OR]=0.931, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.881-0.984, P=0.011 and OR=0.998, 95% CI 0.997-0.999, P<0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of ΔETCO2, ΔAUCp, and the combination of both to predict unsustained ROSC were 0.752 (95% CI 0.660-0.844), 0.883 (95% CI 0.818-0.948), and 0.902 (95% CI 0.842-0.962), respectively. CONCLUSION Patients with unsustained ROSC have a poor prognosis. The combination of ΔETCO2 and ΔAUCp showed significant predictive value for unsustained ROSC.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Daily fractionated radiotherapy may pose constant stress for immune activation. A mouse model was built to explore whether hypofractionated radiotherapy with prolonged inter-fraction interval (Hypo-Slow Radiotherapy, HSRT) may enable better immune-priming of tumor than daily radiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS A subcutaneous MC38 murine colon cancer mouse model was irradiated at different radiation regimens. The impact of inter-fraction interval and dose per fraction on tumor control, immune mobilization, and synergistic effect with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy was explored. Immune activation was assessed by analyzing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from peripheral blood, and intratumoral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by flow cytometry; both were sampled three days after the completion of scheduled irradiation. RESULTS In a fixed dose per fraction experiment, the 6×5Gy QOD and 6×5Gy QD irradiation schemes resulted in identical tumor control, while the 6×5Gy BIW scheme led to tumor progression; moreover, both QOD and BIW regimens showed ability to activate immune response whereas QD regimen did not. In a fixed biological equivalent dose (BED) experiment, the comparison of different regimens with increased dose per fraction and prolonged inter-fraction interval showed that 12×3Gy QD regimen, HSRT regimens, including 6×5Gy QOD, 4×7Gy BIW, and 2×11Gy QW, led to identical tumor control. Importantly, all HSRT regimens showed significant mobilization of host immunity whereas 12×3Gy QD did not. Both peripheral and intratumor CD4+ and CD8+ cell increase with increased inter-fraction interval and dose per fraction. Finally, all HSRT regimens combined with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy showed enhanced tumor growth delay than any single treatment while 12×3Gy QD regimen did not. CONCLUSION This pre-clinical model demonstrated that conventional daily fractionated radiotherapy is not beneficial for host immune activation against tumor. Preliminary results suggested that prolonged inter-fraction interval with increased dose per fraction may be an optional strategy to balance the tumor control and immune activation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the efficacy of immunosuppression intensified conditioning regimen in patients who have strongly positive donor-specific Anti-HLA antibodies (DSAs) and received a haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) . Methods: Clinical data of 10 patients with strongly positive pretransplant DSAs (defined as MFI ≥10000) were retrospectively analyzed in this study. All of them received a haplo-HSCT in the Hematology Department of Shanghai Zhaxin Traditional Chinese & Western Medicine Hospital. Results: ① Of all ten patients, three were males, and seven were females, with a median age of 53.5 (36-64) years. Of the 10 patients, three were diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, two were myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), two were chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), two were in an accelerated phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-AP), and one was primary myelofibrosis (PMF). ② Conditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine (Flu) /busulfan (Bu) combined with whole-body irradiation (TBI) /cyclophosphamide (Cy). ③ On the seventh day after transplantation, the median pretransplant DSA level was MFI 15 999 (10 210-23 417) and 10 787 (0-22 720). ④ Eight patients acquired hematopoietic reconstitution; the median time of neutrophil engraftment was 14 (10-16) days; and 18 (14-20) days for platelet engraftment. After a median follow-up of 12.5 (1.5-27) months, primary graft failure was found in one patient and another with poor graft function. Seven patients remained in a disease remission state, and all were DSA-negative. Conclusions: An intensified immunosuppression conditioning regimen can efficiently decrease the level of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSAs), leading to good short-term efficacy.

Abstract
Nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (Ncor1) has been reported to regulate different transcription factors in different biological processes, including metabolism, inflammation, and circadian rhythms. However, the role of Ncor1 in periodontitis has not been elucidated. The aims of the present study were to investigate the role of Ncor1 in experimental periodontitis and to explore the underlying mechanisms through an experimental periodontitis model in myeloid cell-specific Ncor1-deficient mice. Myeloid cell-specific Ncor1 knockout (MNKO) mice were generated, and experimental periodontitis induced by ligation using 5-0 silk sutures was established. Ncor1 flox/flox mice were used as littermate controls (LC). Histological staining and micro-computed tomography scanning were used to evaluate osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone resorption. Flow cytometry was conducted to observe the effect of Ncor1 on myeloid cells. RNA sequencing was used to explore the differentially targeted genes in osteoclastogenesis in the absence of Ncor1. Coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments, and dual luciferase assays were performed to explore the relationship between NCoR1 and the targeted gene. Alveolar bone resorption in the MNKO mice was significantly greater than that in the LC mice after periodontitis induction and osteoclastogenesis in vitro. The percentage of CD11b+ cells, particularly CD11b+ Ly6G+ neutrophils, was substantially higher in gingival tissues in the MNKO mice than in the LC mice. Results of RNA sequencing demonstrated that CCAAT enhancer binding protein α (Cebpα) was one of the most differentially expressed genes between the MNKO and LC groups. Mechanistically, Co-IP assays, ChIP experiments, and dual luciferase assays revealed that NCOR1 interacted with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and cooperated with HDAC3 to control the transcription of Cebpα. In conclusion, Ncor1 deficiency promoted osteoclast and neutrophil formation in mice with experimental periodontitis. It regulated the transcription of Cebpα via PPARγ to promote osteoclast differentiation.

Ectopic thymic carcinoma (ETC) of the parotid gland is a rare entity. This report describes the case of a 52-year-old man with a painless mass in the right parotid gland. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a biphasic mass consisting of a central segment and a peripheral segment. The patient underwent a superficial parotidectomy, and point-to-point correspondence sampling for analysis based on MRI findings was performed. The pathological finding was ETC, and there was an excellent association between MRI characteristics and histopathological findings. Subsequently, the patient underwent postoperative radiation therapy. At the 9-month follow-up, he had recovered well without facial paralysis, and there was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. This report describes the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of the ETC.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association between inflammation activity of left atrial epicardial adipose tissue (LA-EAT) measured by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: A total of 78 patients with AF, who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT in the Nuclear Medicine Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University due to abnormally elevated levels of tumor indicators or malignant tumors from March 2018 to December 2019, were enrolled in this retrospective study. According to the examination date of PET/CT and basic characteristics of AF patients (gender, age), a 1∶1 propensity score matching was used to enroll a non-AF control group (78 patients). The maximum standard uptake value of left atrial epicardial tissue (LA-EAT FDG SUVmax) and total EAT volume (V-EAT) were measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left atrial diameter (LAD) were obtained by echocardiography. Blood lipids and biomarkers of inflammation were measured. The differences of clinical data and EAT-related indicators were compared between the AF group and control group. Logistic multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the related factors of AF. Then the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the cutoff value of LA-EAT FDG SUVmax on the diagnosis of AF. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the increase of LA-EAT FDG SUVmax and AF. Results: The age was (66.9±10.2) years and there were 55 males (70.5%) in the AF group. The age was (66.9±8.0) years, and there were 52 males (66.7%) in the control group (both P>0.05). The LAD ((44.2±5.8) mm vs. (35.4±4.4) mm), V-EAT ((122.1±42.0) cm3 vs. (91.6±34.5) cm3), and LA-EAT FDG SUVmax ((1.6±0.3) vs. (1.4±0.2)) values were significantly higher, while LVEF ((60.1±4.7)% vs. (63.9±2.9)%) was lower in the AF group than in the control group (P all<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LAD (OR=1.340, 95%CI 1.195-1.502), V-EAT (OR=1.016, 95%CI 1.001-1.031), and LA-EAT FDG SUVmax (OR=1.375, 95%CI 1.095-1.723) were positively correlated with AF, LVEF (OR=0.781, 95%CI 0.659-0.926) was negatively correlated with AF(P all<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of LA-EAT FDG SUVmax for diagnosis of AF was 0.680 (95%CI 0.597-0.764, P<0.001), and the best cut-off value was 1.415 with a sensitivity of 65.4% and specificity of 61.5%. After adjusting for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LVEF, LAD and V-EAT, LA-EAT FDG SUVmax≥1.415 was independently associated with AF (OR=2.982, 95%CI 1.122-7.926, P=0.010). Conclusions: The inflammatory activity of LA-EAT measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT is an independent risk factor of AF, and the increased inflammatory activity of LA-EAT is positively correlated with AF.

Abstract
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the causative agent of crown gall disease and is widely used as a vector to create transgenic plants. Under laboratory conditions, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeasts and fungi can also be transformed, and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) is now considered the method of choice for genetic transformation of many fungi. Unlike plants, in S. cerevisiae, T-DNA is integrated preferentially by homologous recombination and integration by non-homologous recombination is very inefficient. Here we report that upon deletion of ADA2, encoding a component of the ADA and SAGA transcriptional adaptor/histone acetyltransferase complexes, the efficiency of AMT significantly increased regardless of whether integration of T-DNA was mediated by homologous or non-homologous recombination. This correlates with an increase in double-strand DNA breaks, the putative entry sites for T-DNA, in the genome of the ada2Δ deletion mutant, as visualized by the number of Rad52-GFP foci. Our observations may be useful to enhance the transformation of species that are difficult to transform.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in regulating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stem cells and the possible pathways involved in this regulatory mechanism. METHODS The Oncomine database, UALCAN database and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database were used to analyze the expression of VEGF in breast cancer and its association with the molecular subtypes and prognosis of breast cancer. Sphere formation assay was carried out to examine the effects of hVEGF165 on sphere formation ability of TNBC MDA-MB-231 cell line; Western blotting and RT-qPCR were performed to detect the expression of the tumor stem cell markers including CD44, c-Myc, Nanog, and ALDH1 and the activation of the related pathways. RESULTS Data from the online databases all showed a significant increase of VEGF expression in breast cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissues (P < 0.0001), and its expression level was associated with the molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Specifically, the expression of VEGF was markedly higher in TNBC than in other subtypes of breast cancer. Survival analysis showed that breast cancer patients with a high VEGF expression had a significantly shortened overall survival (P < 0.0001). In the cell experiments, the sphere formation ability of MDA-MB-231 cells was significantly enhanced after treatment with hVEGF165 (P=0.0029). Compared with the monolayer cells, MDA-MB-231 spheres showed significantly increased expressions of VEGF, NRP-1, CD44, Nanog and c-Myc. Treatment with hVEGF165 resulted in significant time-dependent up-regulation of the expressions of CD44, c-Myc, Nanog and ALDH1 and down-regulation of CD24 expression in the cells. The results of Western blotting demonstrated that treatment with hVEGF165 caused significant activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway in MDA-MB-231 cells. CONCLUSION VEGF promotes cancer stemness of triple-negative breast cancer possibly through the ERK/MAPK pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of pulse oximetry plethysmography (POP) for the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in cardiac arrest (CA) patients. METHODS This was a multicenter, observational, prospective cohort study of patients hospitalized with cardiac arrest at 14 teaching hospitals cross China from December 2013 through November 2014. The study endpoint was ROSC, defined as the restoration of a palpable pulse and an autonomous cardiac rhythm lasting for at least 20 minutes after the completion or cessation of CPR. RESULTS 150 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients and 291 in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients were enrolled prospectively. ROSC was achieved in 20 (13.3%) and 64 (22.0%) patients in these cohorts, respectively. In patients with complete end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and POP data, patients with ROSC had significantly higher levels of POP area under the curve (AUCp), wave amplitude (Amp) and ETCO2 level during CPR than those without ROSC (all p < 0.05). Pairwise comparison of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated no significant difference was observed between ETCO2 and Amp (p = 0.204) or AUCp (p = 0.588) during the first two minutes of resuscitation. CONCLUSION POP may be a novel and effective method for predicting ROSC during resuscitation, with a prognostic value similar to ETCO2 at early stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the association between age, menopausal stage and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in middle-aged women. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, the serum AMH levels of 288 healthy women aged 40-55 years (divided into age groups: 40-44, 45-49 and 50-55 years) were evaluated. Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop + 10 criteria were used to categorize these women into menopausal stages: late reproductive, menopausal transition and early postmenopausal stages. The impact of age, menopausal stage and hormone replacement therapy on serum AMH levels was analyzed using multi-factor analysis of variance. Effects of body mass index, smoking status and oral contraceptive use were simultaneously considered. RESULTS The median AMH level was 0.140 ng/ml. Log-AMH levels varied according to age group (variance = 20.113, F = 88.538, p < 0.001) and menopausal stage (variance = 5.543, F = 24.501, p < 0.001). An exponential model defined as AMH = 227,421.757 × e(-0.301 × age) was fit to describe the decline in AMH level with age. The 5th-95th percentiles of the AMH levels ranged from less than 0.020 to 3.150, less than 0.020 to 1.944 and less than 0.020 to 0.030 ng/ml in the aforementioned menopausal stages, respectively. CONCLUSION Age and menopausal stage were associated with AMH levels; age had a greater impact on AMH than menopausal stage in middle-aged women.

Abstract
Acidic deposition contributes to a range of environmental impacts across forested landscapes, including acidification of soil and drainage water, toxic aluminum mobilization, depletion of available soil nutrient cations, and impacts to forest and aquatic species health and biodiversity. In response to decreasing levels of acidic deposition, soils and drainage waters in some regions of North America have become gradually less acidic. Thresholds of atmospheric deposition at which adverse ecological effects are manifested are called critical loads (CLs) and/or target loads (TLs). Target loads are developed based on approaches that account for spatial and temporal aspects of acidification and recovery. Exceedance represents the extent to which current or projected future levels of acidic deposition exceed the level expected to cause ecological harm. We report TLs of sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) deposition and the potential for ecosystem recovery of watershed soils and streams in the Adirondack region of New York State, resources that have been less thoroughly investigated than lakes. Regional TLs were calculated by statistical extrapolation of hindcast and forecast simulations of 25 watersheds using the process-based model PnET-BGC coupled with empirical observations of stream hydrology and established sensitivity of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) to soil base saturation and brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) to stream acid neutralizing capacity (ANC). Historical impacts and the expected recovery timeline of regional soil and stream chemistry and fish community condition within the Adirondack Park were evaluated. Analysis suggests that many low-order Adirondack streams and associated watershed soils have low TLs (<40 meq/m2/yr of N + S deposition) to achieve specified benchmarks for recovery of soil base saturation or stream ANC. Acid-sensitive headwater and low-order streams and watershed soils in the region are expected to experience continued adverse effects from N and S deposition well into the future even under aggressive emissions reductions. Watershed soils and streams in the western Adirondack Park are particularly vulnerable to acidic deposition and currently in exceedance of TLs. The methods used for linking statistical and process-based models to consider chemical and biological response under varying flow conditions at the regional scale in this study can be applied to other areas of concern.

Abstract
AIM To develop and validate a triple-classification radiomics model for the preoperative differentiation of pleomorphic adenoma (PA), Warthin tumour (WT), and malignant salivary gland tumour (MSGT) based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 217 patients with histopathologically confirmed salivary gland tumours (100 PAs, 68 WTs, and 49 MSGTs) from January 2015 to March 2019 were analysed retrospectively and divided into a training set (n=173), and a validation set (n=44). A total of 396 radiomic features were extracted from the DWI of all patients. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were used to select radiomic features, which were then constructed using three classification models, namely, logistic regression method (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN). The diagnostic performance of the radiomics model was quantified by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the training and validation data sets. RESULTS The 20 most valuable features were investigated based on the LASSO regression. LR and SVM methods exhibited better diagnostic ability than KNN for multiclass classification. LR and SVM had the best performance and yielded the AUC values of 0.857 and 0.824, respectively, in the training data set and the AUC values of 0.932 and 0.912, respectively, in the validation data set of MSGT diagnosis. CONCLUSION DWI-based triple-classification radiomics model has predictive value in distinguishing PA, WT, and MSGT, which can be used for preoperative auxiliary diagnosis in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism. However, little is known about the role that exosomes play in the process of TSH-induced lipotoxicity in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). As a preliminary step, the present study set out to investigate alterations in protein expression in exosomes derived from TSH-stimulated HepG2 cells. METHODS HepG2 cells were treated with TSH, exosomes were collected, and proteins were identified by mass spectrometry (MS). Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed to analyze the identified proteins. RESULTS TSH treatment significantly increased exosomal production and changed the exosomal proteomic profile in HepG2 cells. Among the 1728 proteins, 140 identified proteins were upregulated and seven proteins were downregulated. GO analysis and KEGG analysis revealed that these proteins were involved in multiple processes including metabolism, apoptosis, and inflammation. CONCLUSION Our preliminary study demonstrated that exosomes derived from TSH-stimulated hepatocytes were increased and showed a specific altered spectrum of proteins, many of which were involved in metabolism, signal transduction, apoptosis, and inflammation. This study offers new insights into the pathogenesis of TSH-induced lipotoxicity in NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was to investigate the prevalence and cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs) of asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (aICAS) amongst middle-aged and older adults living in rural communities in China. METHODS This population-based study included 2019 subjects (aged ≥40 years, 52.3% women) who were free of stroke and living in rural communities in China. From October 2017 to May 2018, data on demographics, CRFs and health conditions were collected through face-to-face interviews, physical examination and laboratory tests. Asymptomatic ICAS was detected through a two-phase procedure: a screening phase with transcranial Doppler ultrasound, followed by a diagnostic phase with magnetic resonance angiography examination. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyse CRFs associated with aICAS. RESULTS Of the 2019 participants, aICAS was detected in 153 persons. The overall prevalence of aICAS was 7.6%, and the prevalence of moderate-to-severe aICAS was 5.0%. The multi-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of aICAS associated with CRFs was 2.40 (1.56-3.69) for hypertension, 1.91 (1.32-2.76) for high hypersensitive C-reactive protein, 1.68 (1.14-2.49) for diabetes and 1.61 (1.08-2.41) for overweight or obesity. When these four CRFs were aggregated, compared with participants without any of these factors, the multi-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of aICAS for persons concurrently having one, two and three or more of these factors were 1.14 (0.52-2.48), 2.91 (1.42-5.99) and 5.51 (2.64-11.50), respectively (P for linear trend <0.001). CONCLUSIONS Asymptomatic ICAS is common amongst rural-dwelling middle-aged and older Chinese people. Hypertension, diabetes, overweight or obesity and high hypersensitive C-reactive protein, especially when coexisting, are strongly associated with aICAS.

Abstract
Background The height of single-layer fibular flap is not long enough to return to the ideal height of the mandible. While the double-layer vascularized fibular osteomyocutaneous flap(VFF) is more complicated in shaping and fixation, along with a longer operation time. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of VFF combined with nonvascularized fibular flap(NVFF) in the reconstruction of mandibular defect. Material and Methods From September 2016 to June 2018, 15 patients with benign mandibular tumors underwent reconstruction with VFF and NVFF. SimPlant Pro ™ software (version 11.04) was used to simulate reconstruction of the mandible preoperatively. Results All patients were followed up for 8-23 month, with an average of 11.7 months. 15 VFFs survived well. Among the 15 NVFFs, one was almost completely absorbed, two with partial absorption, and the remaining survived regardless of the small amount of absorption. The postoperative absorption of the whole fibula was 7.53±6.362%, a favorable facial contour and speech function were attained. Conclusions The VFF combined with NVFF to reconstruct the mandibular defect can restore the vertical height of the mandible and achieve satisfactory clinical results. Key words:Vascularized fibular osteomyocutaneous flap(VFF), Nonvascularized fibular flap(NVFF), Mandibular defect.

Abstract
Patients with HCV infection can develop decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), even liver failure. As a result, efficient antiviral treatment is very essential to prevent HCV-related disease progression. Newly developed direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have shown safety profile, favorable tolerability, and relatively short duration, which provide an opportunity to expand the number of patients who can be treated for HCV infection. There is a need for further clinical observation and summaries for DAAs in a real world. In the era of DAAs, special patients with HCV infection still get lots of attention from doctors. This review aims at the application of DAAs in patients with HCV infection, combined with chronic kidney diseases, hepatocellular carcinoma, HBV/HCV co-infection, HIV/HCV co-infection, post liver transplantation, pregnancy, children, lymphoma and retreatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most lethal and aggressive form of breast cancer and there are no approved targeted therapies specifically for IBC. Targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway is a promising therapeutic target for patients with triple-negative IBC (TN-IBC) with a reported pathological complete response rate of 42% (JAMA Oncology, 2018). The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a critical contributor to the aggressiveness of IBC. Delineating cross-talk between EGFR-targeted therapies and TME components, which define IBC, could inform more efficient combination regimens and novel clinical trial designs for IBC. However, such studies have not been conducted due to the lack of a syngeneic IBC mouse model. Here we report the establishment of an IBC immunocompetent mouse model and the effects of panitumumab (PmAb) on IBC tumor growth and the TME.
Methods: TN-IBC cell lines, SUM149 or FC-IBC-02, were mixed with 50% Matrigel and inoculated into mammary fat pads of hu-NSG-SGM3 mice engrafted with hematopoietic stem cells (The Jackson Laboratory). SUM149 tumor growth in hu-NSG-SGM3 mice treated with either IgG2 (isotype control, 4 mg/kg) or PmAb (1 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg) was measured. The percentages of TME components, including human CD4+ T, CD8+ T, regulatory T (Tregs), and natural killer (NK) cells, and M1 or M2 macrophages, in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues treated with IgG2 and PmAb for 7 weeks were measured by flow cytometry.
Results: Hu-NSG-SGM3 mice supported the growth of TN-IBC SUM149 and FC-IBC-02 xenografts. These humanized mouse models were named SUM149-huSGM3 and FC-IBC-02-huSGM3, respectively. Analysis of the blood cells showed that SUM149-huSGM3 mice display human CD4+ T, CD8+ T, Tregs, M1 and M2 macrophages. T cell infiltration and M1 and M2 macrophages were also detected in SUM149-huSGM3 tumors. NK cells were not detected in both peripheral blood and tumors. PmAb treated SUM149-huSGM3 mice had significantly reduced SUM149 tumor growth, compared with mice that received the IgG2 control. PmAb treatment increased the percentage of CD8+ T cells and reduced the percentage of Tregs in peripheral blood. A similar analysis of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes isolated from each group showed an increase in percent CD8+ T cells in mice treated with PmAb. There were no significant changes of M1 or M2 macrophages following PmAb treatment. These results suggest that the increase in percentage of CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood and IBC tumors, and the decrease in percentage of Tregs in peripheral blood may contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of PmAb.
Conclusion: We established the first immunocompetent mouse model to study the TME and immune response in IBC, which provides the premise for conducting a diversity of novel preclinical therapeutic studies. The mechanism of how immune responses of TN-IBC xenografts mediates the therapeutic efficacy of PmAb in IBC tumors needs to be further investigated. Our study also suggests that combination therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors may potentiate the efficacy of anti-EGFR therapy in IBC. The therapeutic efficacy of PmAb and anti-PD-L1 combination in SUM149 humanized mice is in progress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulinoma is the commonest functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor causing hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. AIM This study is aimed to evaluate the clinical features, preoperative laboratory and imaging diagnosis and pathologic findings of insulinoma. METHODS Data of the patients from 2001 to 2016 diagnosed as insulinoma in Tongji Hospital, China were retrospectively extracted and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 40 patients were diagnosed as insulinoma with a male/female ratio of 0.68:1. The median onset age was 46.5 years. Nearly all the included patients presented neurological symptoms and 60% presented autonomic symptoms. More than 95% of the patients met the functional European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society criteria including glucose, insulin and C-peptide levels. The preoperative detection rates of ultrasonography, enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and endoscopic ultrasonography were 60.50%, 84.95%, 80% and 83.3% respectively. The joint imaging examinations can markedly increase the detection rate. The mean tumor size was 1.89 ± 0.72 cm. Ki-67 index by histopathological diagnosis were all less than 20%. The positive rates of insulin, synaptophysin and chromogranin A were close to 100%. CONCLUSION Laboratory tests of glucose, insulin and C-peptide are reliable for preoperative diagnosis. Combination of the imaging examinations can improve the diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To approach the predictive value of continuous monitoring end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PETCO2) on the outcome of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and explored the indicators of termination of resuscitation. METHODS A secondary analysis of a multicenter observational study data was conducted. The screening aim was adult non-traumatic in-hospital CPR patients whose PETCO2 were recorded within 30 minutes of CPR. Clinical information was reviewed. The mean PETCO2 in restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and non-ROSC patients was recorded. The outcome of CPR was continuously assessed by PETCO2 ≤ 10 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) for 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 minutes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted, and the predictive value of PETCO2 ≤ 10 mmHg for different duration on the outcome of CPR was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 467 recovery patients, including 419 patients with complete recovery were screened. Patients who were out-of-hospital resuscitation, non-adults, traumatic injury, had no PETCO2 value, PETCO2 value failed to explained the clinical conditions, or patients had not monitored PETCO2 within 30 minutes of resuscitation were excluded, and finally 120 adult patients with non-traumatic in-hospital resuscitation were enrolled in the analysis. The mean PETCO2 in 50 patients with ROSC was significantly higher than that of 70 non-ROSC patients [mmHg: 17 (11, 27) vs. 9 (6, 16), P < 0.01]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of PETCO2 during the resuscitation for predicting recovery outcome was 0.712 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.689-0.735]; when the cut-off was 10.5 mmHg, the sensitivity was 57.8%, and the specificity was 78.0%, the positive predictive value (PPV) was 84.6%, and negative predictive value (NPV) was 46.9%. The duration of PETCO2 ≤ 10 mmHg was used for further analysis, which showed that with PETCO2 ≤10 mmHg in duration, the prediction of the sensitivity of the patients failed to recover decreased from 58.2% to 28.2%, but specificity increased from 39.4% to 100%; PPV increased from 40% to 100%, and NPV decreased from 57.5% to 34.2%. CONCLUSIONS For adult non-traumatic in-hospital CPR patients, continuous 10 minutes PETCO2 ≤10 mmHg may be an indicate of termination of CPR.

Abstract
Objective: Acoustic pharyngealmetry technology is utilized to evaluate the change and clinical significance of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients caused by non-upper airway structural factor and normal individuals' PWF(pharyngeal wall floppiness). Methods: Acoustic pharyngealmetry instrument of Ecconvision was utilized to examine 102 OSAHS patients and 50 normal individuals, separately recorded their volume of pharyngeal cavity in sit or supine position, calculated PWF in sit or supine position, and SPSS 12.0 of tware was used to analyze data. Results: PWF was 0.14±0.09 in sit position and PWF was 0.21±0.10, (t=5.96, t=9.63, P<0.001)in supine position of OSAHS group, which were all significantly higher than those of control group. PWFs in supine position of OSAHS group and control group were evidently higher than PWF(t=-11.91, P<0.001; t=-2.32, P=0.025) in sit position. ΔPWF(PWF_supine-PWF_sit)was 0.063±0.054 in OSAHS group which was significantly greater than in control(F=41.173, P<0.01). PWF in sit position and supine position were all positively related with age(r=0.714, r=0.735, P<0.001)while irrelevant with BMI(P>0.05). Conclusions: PWF can be utilized to be an index to reflect the physiological feature of upper airway. PWF can more precisely reflect upper airway collapsibility of OSAHS patients on the condition of PWF in supine position. Pharyngeal wall floppiness quantified as a high PWF index is a non-structure vital factor of OSAHS patients and plays a role of guiding us to make personal treatment plans for OSAHS patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Women under the age of 40 account for approximately 7% percent of breast cancer patients. Breast tumors from young women are often ER-negative, occur in African-American patients, and have other indicators of high risk: yet, multivariate analyses demonstrated that young age is an independent predictor of poor outcome. Due to the unique nature of the patient population served by DOD, a disproportionate number of breast cancer cases in young women are seen. We compare the characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of young patients diagnosed with breast cancer with those of older patients.
Methods: The databases of the Military Health System Repository and the DOD Central Registration were used to identify female breast cancer patients treated at DOD facilities between 1998 and 2007. Information on demographics, breast cancer stage at diagnosis, definitive surgical treatments, systemic treatment, recurrence rate and overall survival was analyzed by age groups at the time of diagnosis (less than 40 years old, 40 to 49 years, and 50 years or older) using X2 testing with significance defined as p< 0.05.
Results: We identified 10,066 women who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at DOD facilities between 1998 and 2007, of which 11.3% (1139) were less than 40 years old at diagnosis. 53% of this young cohort were white, 25% were African-American and 8% were Hispanic (14% undisclosed). The percentage of breast cancer among African-American women in the young cohort was higher than in the older cohorts (19.3% in 40-49yo and 10.6% in ≥50yo). High-grade tumors were significantly more frequent in the younger cohort when compared to the older group (49.5% vs 34.7% and 25.2%, p<0.001). <40yo most commonly presented with Stage II disease (45.3%) at diagnosis, while older groups were mostly diagnosed with Stage I disease (41.6% and 52.4%). The most common subtype of breast cancer across ages was ER+ disease, however, <40yo group had proportionally less ER+ (49% vs 61% and 67.3%, P<0.001). There was a higher rate of bilateral mastectomies among the young women (18.4% vs 9.1% and 5.0%, p<0.0001). Independently of the stage of disease, chemotherapy was given significantly more frequently to <40y (90.43%) and 40-49yo (81.44%) than ≥50yo (53.71%). The 10-year overall survival of younger women was similar to the ≥50yo cohort, despite intensive treatment.
Discussion: This study is one of the largest retrospective studies of women under 40 years old with breast cancer. Younger women with invasive breast cancer had more aggressive tumors presenting at higher stages. In this group with good access to healthcare, younger women still had a similar overall survival rate to older women despite receiving more aggressive treatment and potentially having fewer comorbidities than the older group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation via automated in-hospital ventilators is quite common during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is not known whether different inspiratory triggering sensitivity settings of ordinary ventilators have different effects on actual ventilation, gas exchange and hemodynamics during resuscitation. METHODS 18 pigs enrolled in this study were anaesthetized and intubated. Continuous chest compressions and mechanical ventilation (volume-controlled mode, 100% O2, respiratory rate 10/min, and tidal volumes 10ml/kg) were performed after 3 minutes of ventricular fibrillation. Group trig-4, trig-10 and trig-20 (six pigs each) were characterized by triggering sensitivities of 4, 10 and 20 (cmH2O for pressure-triggering and L/min for flow-triggering), respectively. Additionally, each pig in each group was mechanically ventilated using three types of inspiratory triggering (pressure-triggering, flow-triggering and turned-off triggering) of 5 minutes duration each, and each animal matched with one of six random assortments of the three different triggering settings. Blood gas samples, respiratory and hemodynamic parameters for each period were all collected and analyzed. RESULTS In each group, significantly lower actual respiratory rate, minute ventilation volume, mean airway pressure, arterial pH, PaO2, and higher end-tidal carbon dioxide, aortic blood pressure, coronary perfusion pressure, PaCO2 and venous oxygen saturation were observed in the ventilation periods with a turned-off triggering setting compared to those with pressure- or flow- triggering (all P<0.05), except when compared with pressure-triggering of 20 cmH2O (respiratory rate 10.5[10/11.3]/min vs 12.5[10.8/13.3]/min, P = 0.07; coronary perfusion pressure 30.3[24.5/31.6] mmHg vs 27.4[23.7/29] mmHg, P = 0.173; venous oxygen saturation 46.5[32/56.8]% vs 41.5[33.5/48.5]%, P = 0.575). CONCLUSIONS Ventilation with pressure- or flow-triggering tends to induce hyperventilation and deteriorating gas exchange and hemodynamics during CPR. A turned-off patient triggering or a pressure-triggering of 20 cmH2O is preferred for ventilation when an ordinary inpatient hospital ventilator is used during resuscitation.

Abstract
The three-dimensional nature of twins, especially the atomic structures and motion mechanisms of the boundary lateral to the shear direction of the twin, has never been characterized at the atomic level, because such boundary is, in principle, crystallographically unobservable. We thus refer to it here as the dark side of the twin. Here, using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and atomistic simulations, we characterize the dark side of deformation twins in magnesium. It is found that the dark side is serrated and comprised of coherent twin boundaries and semi-coherent twist prismatic–prismatic boundaries that control twin growth. The conclusions of this work apply to the same twin mode in other hexagonal close-packed materials, and the conceptual ideas discussed here should hold for all twin modes in crystalline materials. Twin propagation involves three-dimensional normal, forward and lateral motion of twin interfaces with respect to the twinning shear direction. Here, the authors combine electron microscopy and atomistic simulations to study the until now unknown lateral structure of tensile deformation twins in magnesium.

Abstract
Emerging evidence shows that elevated cholesterol levels are detrimental to health. However, it is unclear whether there is an association between cholesterol and the pituitary. We investigated the effects of a high-cholesterol diet on pituitary hormones using in vivo animal studies and an epidemiological study. In the animal experiments, rats were fed a high-cholesterol or control diet for 28 weeks. In rats fed the high-cholesterol diet, serum levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; also known as thyrotrophin), luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) produced by the basophilic cells of the anterior pituitary were elevated in a time-dependent manner. Among these hormones, TSH was the first to undergo a significant change, whereas adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), another hormone produced by basophilic cells, was not changed significantly. As the duration of cholesterol feeding increased, cholesterol deposition increased gradually in the pituitary. Histologically, basophilic cells, and especially thyrotrophs and gonadotrophs, showed an obvious increase in cell area, as well as a potential increase in their proportion of total pituitary cells. Expression of the β-subunit of TSH, FSH and LH, which controls hormone specificity and activity, exhibited a corresponding increase. In the epidemiological study, we found a similar elevation of serum TSH, LH and FSH and a decrease in ACTH in patients with hypercholesterolaemia. Significant positive correlations existed between serum total cholesterol and TSH, FSH or LH, even after adjusting for confounding factors. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that the high-cholesterol diet affected the levels of hormones derived from anterior pituitary basophilic cells. This phenomenon might contribute to the pituitary functional disturbances described in hypercholesterolaemia.

Abstract
Streptococcus mutans is a primary pathogen responsible for dental caries. It has an outstanding ability to form biofilm, which is vital for virulence. Previous studies have shown that knockout of Wall-associated protein A (WapA) affects cell chain and biofilm formation of S. mutans. As a surface protein, the distribution of WapA remains unknown, but it is important to understand the mechanism underlying the function of WapA. This study applied the fluorescence protein mCherry as a reporter gene to characterize the dynamic distribution of WapA in S. mutans via time-lapse and super-resolution fluorescence imaging. The results revealed interesting subcellular distribution patterns of WapA in single, dividing and long chains of S. mutans cells. It appears at the middle of the cell and moves to the poles as the cell grows and divides. In a cell chain, after each round of cell division, such dynamic relocation results in WapA distribution at the previous cell division sites, resulting in a pattern where WapA is located at the boundary of two adjacent cell pairs. This WapA distribution pattern corresponds to the breaking segmentation of wapA deletion cell chains. The dynamic relocation of WapA through the cell cycle increases our understanding of the mechanism of WapA in maintaining cell chain integrity and biofilm formation.

Abstract
Experimental quantification of the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) at the level of unit dislocation glide is still a challenge. By using in situ nanoindentation in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope and strain analysis of the acquired structural images, the CRSS for the motion of individual dislocations on {110}⟨011⟩ slip system and glide dislocation re-emission from a tilt grain boundary in TiN are quantified. This work offers an approach to measure the local stresses associated with dislocation motion in high-strength materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the accuracy of pulse contour cardiac output (PCCO) during blood volume change. METHODS Hemorrhagic shock model was made in twenty dogs followed by volume resuscitation. Two PiCCO catheters were placed into each model to monitor the cardiac output (CO). One of catheters was used to calibrate CO by transpulmonary thermodilution technique (COTP) (calibration group), and the other one was used to calibrate PCCO (none-calibration group). In the hemorrhage phase, calibration was carried out each time when the blood volume dropped by 5 percents in the calibration group until the hemorrhage volume reached to 40 percent of the basic blood volume. Continuous monitor was done in the none-calibration group.Volume resuscitation phase started after re-calibration in the two groups. Calibration was carried out each time when the blood equivalent rose by 5 percents in calibration group until the percentage of blood equivalent volume returned back to 100. Continuous monitor was done in none-calibration group. COTP, PCCO, mean arterial pressure (MAP), systemic circulation resistance (SVR), global enddiastolic volume (GEDV) were recorded respectively in each time point. RESULTS (1) At the baseline, COTP in calibration group showed no statistic difference compared with PCCO in none-calibration group (P >0.05). (2) In the hemorrhage phase, COTP and GEDV in calibration group decreased gradually, and reached to the minimum value (1.06 ± 0.57) L/min, (238 ± 93) ml respectively at TH8. SVR in calibration group increased gradually, and reached to the maximum value (5 074 ± 2 342) dyn · s · cm⁻⁵ at TH6. However, PCCO and SVR in none-calibration group decreased in a fluctuating manner, and reached to the minimum value (2.42 ± 1.37) L/min, (2 285 ± 1 033) dyn · s · cm⁻⁵ respectively at TH8. COTP in the calibration group showed a significant statistic difference compared with PCCO in the none-calibration group at each time point (At TH1-8, t values were respectively -5.218, -5.495, -4.639, -6.588, -6.029, -5.510, -5.763 and -5.755, all P < 0.01). From TH1 to TH8, the difference in percentage increased gradually. There were statistic differences in SVR at each time point between the two groups (At TH1 and TH4, t values were respectively 2.866 and 2.429, both P < 0.05, at TH2 - TH3 and TH5 - TH8, t values were respectively 3.073, 3.590, 6.847, 8.425, 6.910 and 8.799, all P < 0.01). There was no statistic difference in MAP between the two groups (P > 0.05). (3) In the volume resuscitation phase, COTP and GEDV in the calibration group increased gradually. GEDV reached to the maximum value ((394±133) ml) at TR7, and COTP reached to the maximum value (3.15 ± 1.42) L/min at TR8. SVR in the calibration group decreased gradually, and reached to the minimum value (3 284 ± 1 271) dyn · s · cm⁻⁵ at TR8. However, PCCO and SVR in the none-calibration group increased in a fluctuating manner. SVR reached to the maximum value (8 589 ± 4 771) dyn · s · cm⁻⁵ at TR7, and PCCO reached to the maximum value (1.35 ± 0.70) L/min at TR8. COTP in the calibration group showed a significant statistic difference compared with PCCO in the none-calibration group at each time point (At TR1-8, t values were respectively 8.195, 8.703, 7.903, 8.266, 9.600, 8.340, 8.938, 8.332, all P < 0.01). From TR1 to TR8, the difference in percentage increased gradually. There were statistic differences in SVR at each time point between the two groups (At TR1, t value was -2.810, P < 0.05, at TR2-8, t values were respectively -6.026, -6.026, -5.375, -6.008, -5.406, -5.613 and -5.609, all P < 0.05). There was no statistic difference in MAP between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION PCCO could not reflect the real CO in case of rapid blood volume change, which resulting in the misjudgment of patient's condition. In clinical practice, more frequent calibrations should be done to maintain the accuracy of PCCO in rapid blood volume change cases.
