Abstract
The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) provide recommendations for the treatment of patients with NSCLC, including diagnosis, primary disease management, surveillance for relapse, and subsequent treatment. The panel has updated the list of recommended targeted therapies based on recent FDA approvals and clinical data. This selection from the NCCN Guidelines for NSCLC focuses on treatment recommendations for advanced or metastatic NSCLC with actionable molecular biomarkers.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal cancer dynamics and drivers of clinical responses with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) remain poorly understood. Potential synergistic activity of dual programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) inhibition may help improve immunotherapy responses for these tumors. We report a phase Ib trial that evaluated neoadjuvant nivolumab (Arm A, n = 16) or nivolumab-relatlimab (Arm B, n = 16) in combination with chemoradiotherapy in 32 patients with resectable stage II/stage III gastroesophageal cancer together with an in-depth evaluation of pathological, molecular and functional immune responses. Primary endpoint was safety; the secondary endpoint was feasibility; exploratory endpoints included pathological complete (pCR) and major pathological response (MPR), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). The study met its primary safety endpoint in Arm A, although Arm B required modification to mitigate toxicity. pCR and MPR rates were 40% and 53.5% for Arm A and 21.4% and 57.1% for Arm B. Most common adverse events were fatigue, nausea, thrombocytopenia and dermatitis. Overall, 2-year RFS and OS rates were 72.5% and 82.6%, respectively. Higher baseline programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and LAG-3 expression were associated with deeper pathological responses. Exploratory analyses of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) showed that patients with undetectable ctDNA post-ICI induction, preoperatively and postoperatively had a significantly longer RFS and OS; ctDNA clearance was reflective of neoantigen-specific T cell responses. Our findings provide insights into the safety profile of combined PD-1 and LAG-3 blockade in gastroesophageal cancer and highlight the potential of ctDNA analysis to dynamically assess systemic tumor burden during neoadjuvant ICI that may open a therapeutic window for future intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been postulated that a possible barrier to pursuing cardiothoracic surgery is a lack of exposure and mentorship during training. In 2006, The Society of Thoracic Surgeons began the Looking to the Future Scholarship to expand interest in the field. Undecided trainees with limited exposure were prioritized in the selection process. This report summarizes the career outcomes of general surgery resident and medical student recipients. METHODS Scholarship recipients and nonrecipients (control) were queried in a Google search. The percentage of those who were cardiothoracic surgeons or in cardiothoracic training (%CTS) was calculated, as well as the percentage of female surgeons in cardiothoracic surgery. RESULTS From 2006 to 2021, there were 669 awardees. The %CTS was 63.7% for resident recipients and 31.4% for students, respectively. There was no significant difference in %CTS between resident and student recipients compared to nonrecipients. Notably, the percentage of female cardiothoracic surgeons was significantly greater for both resident and student recipients. CONCLUSIONS The majority of resident recipients are now in cardiothoracic surgery, comparable to nonrecipients. While there was no significant difference between the percentage of recipients and non-recipients in cardiothoracic surgery, these groups differed substantially as nonrecipients had greater exposure and commitment to the field at the time of application.

Abstract
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that originates from the mesothelial surfaces of the pleura and other sites, and is estimated to occur in approximately 3,500 people in the United States annually. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common type and represents approximately 85% of these cases. The NCCN Guidelines for Mesothelioma: Pleural provide recommendations for the diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up for patients with pleural mesothelioma. These NCCN Guidelines Insights highlight significant updates to the NCCN Guidelines for Mesothelioma: Pleural, including revised guidance on disease classification and systemic therapy options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain metastasis (BRM) is uncommon in gastroesophageal cancer. As such, clinicopathologic and molecular determinants of BRM and impact on clinical outcome remain incompletely understood. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed clinicopathologic data from advanced esophageal/gastroesophageal junction (E/GEJ) patients at Johns Hopkins from 2003 to 2021. We investigated the association between several clinical and molecular features and the occurrence of BRM, with particular focus on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression. Survival outcomes and time to BRM onset were also evaluated. RESULTS We included 515 patients with advanced E/GEJ cancer. Tumors were 78.3% esophageal primary, 82.9% adenocarcinoma, 31.0% HER2 positive. Cumulative incidence of BRM in the overall cohort and within HER2+ subgroup was 13.8% and 24.3%, respectively. HER2 overexpression was associated with increased risk of BRM [odds ratio 2.45; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.10-5.46]. On initial presentation with BRM, 50.7% had a solitary brain lesion and 11.3% were asymptomatic. HER2+ status was associated with longer median time to onset of BRM (14.0 versus 6.3 months, P < 0.01), improved median progression free survival on first-line systemic therapy (hazard ratio 0.35, 95% CI 0.16-0.80), and improved median overall survival (hazard ratio 0.20, 95% CI 0.08-0.54) in patients with BRM. CONCLUSION HER2 overexpression identifies a gastroesophageal cancer molecular subtype that is significantly associated with increased risk of BRM, though with later onset of BRM and improved survival likely reflecting the impact of central nervous system-penetrant HER2-directed therapy. The prevalence of asymptomatic and solitary brain lesions suggests that brain surveillance for HER2+ patients warrants prospective investigation.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the early and midterm surgical outcome of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (PA/VSD/MAPCA) using revised surgical strategies. Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical data, surgical methods, and follow-up results was performed of 104 cases of PA/VSD/MAPCA in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2017 to September 2022. There were 55 males and 49 females, aged (M(IQR)) 33.9(84.0) months (range: 0.5 to 209.6 months) at the first surgical procedures. The anatomical classification included 89 cases of type B and 15 cases of type C. The number of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries was 4.2 (3.0) (range: 1 to 8). The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival estimation. Results: In the first stage of surgery, 50 patients underwent a complete primary repair, 12 patients underwent partial repair, 32 patients underwent palliative right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection, and only 10 patients chose the Blalock-Taussig shunt. There were 10 cases of early death. In the second stage, 14 patients underwent complete repair and 4 patients underwent partial repair with no early death. The interval between the two surgeries was 19 (10) months (range: 9 to 48 months). Finally, during the 40 (34) months follow-up period, a total of 64 patients were complete repair and the right/left ventricular pressure ratio after complete repair was 0.63±0.16 (range: 0.36 to 1.00). Survival analysis showed that survival rates at 1 and 5 years after first-stage surgery were both 89.4% (95%CI: 83.5% to 95.3%). At 28 (34) months (range: 1 to 67 months) of follow-up after complete repair, the survival analysis showed that the survival rates at 1 and 5 years were both 95.2% (95%CI: 89.9% to 100%). Conclusions: Using combined approaches tailored to individual patients and optimized unifocalization strategy, the complete repair rate at one stage and the cumulative complete repair rate at 5 years improved significantly with a lower right/left ventricular pressure ratio and satisfactory early and intermediate survival.

Abstract
Objective As trainees rotate through thoracic subspecialties within their curricula, a crucial portion of their robotic training consists of actual console operating time. The more time spent on the surgeon console, the greater the development will be through the course of their training. Implementing a physician assistant at the bedside may increase the operative console time for the trainee and develop robotic skills in a more expeditious rate. The objective was to evaluate the impact a designated robotic physician assistant can have on trainee console learning opportunity. Methods Operating room data collected consisted of all robotic general thoracic surgical cases that trainees participated in with and without a physician assistant present. Metrics regarding case efficiency included anesthesia ready-to-incision, incision-to-console, and raw resident console times. By using PRISM software, a nonparametric t test was used to analyze each averaged data group compared between when a physician assistant was present and not present. Results The mean resident console time without and with a physician assistant assist was 45.8 minutes and 80.9 minutes, respectively (P < .0001). The average portion of a case performed by a trainee similarly without and with a physician assistant present was 28.0% and 77.1%, respectively (P < .0001). Case efficiency metrics between physician assistant presence cohorts showed no difference. Conclusions Thoracic surgical trainees have increased opportunity for robotic skill development within a fellowship or resident program curriculum when a designated robotic physician assistant is present in the operating room. These findings are significant for the improvement of residency and fellowship robotic training models moving forward by incorporating robotic-specialized physician assistants in academic institutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medical students and general surgery residents often do not get exposure to cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) because of a decreased emphasis on CTS rotations during their training. The Southern Thoracic Surgical Association (STSA) began offering the Brooks Scholarship to medical students in 2010 and general surgery residents in 2014 to promote CTS. This study examines the impact of the scholarship. METHODS We examined the history of the award and how STSA administers the award. Next we examined the impact of the award by evaluating the number of medical students and residents who are tracked to complete a CTS program. Finally we performed an analysis of the academic output of the awardees who have completed or were tracked to complete a CTS program. RESULTS The scholarship was developed to honor the memory of past STSA President Dr James W. Brooks. The award is administered through the STSA scholarship committee and provides medical students and residents funds to attend the STSA annual meeting and the opportunity to spend time with a mentor during the meeting. Eighty-eight percent of medical student recipients (21/24) and 100% of general surgery resident recipients (15/15) have completed or are on track to complete a CTS program. The 36 recipients going into CTS have published a total of 823 papers and 9240 articles have cited those papers. CONCLUSIONS The STSA medical student and general surgery Brooks scholarship awards were associated with completing or pursuing a career in CTS. STSA should continue the Brooks scholarship to attract talented medical students and residents to CTS.

Abstract
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer originating in mesothelial surfaces of the peritoneum, pleura, and other sites. These NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) focus on peritoneal mesothelioma (PeM). The NCCN Guidelines for PeM provide recommendations for workup, diagnosis, and treatment of primary as well as previously treated PeM. The diagnosis of PeM may be delayed because PeM mimics other diseases and conditions and because the disease is so rare. The pathology section was recently updated to include new information about markers used to identify mesothelioma, which is difficult to diagnose. The term "malignant" is no longer used to classify mesotheliomas, because all mesotheliomas are now defined as malignant.

Abstract
Risk prediction models play an important role in the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the elderly population. There are fifteen papers about CVD risk prediction models developed for the elderly domestically and internationally, of which the definitions of disease outcome vary widely. Ten models were reported with insufficient information about study methods or results. Ten models were at high risk of bias. Thirteen models presented moderate discrimination in internal validation, and only four models have undertaken external validation. The CVD risk prediction models for the elderly differed from those for the general population in terms of model algorithm and the effect size of association between predictor and outcome, and the prediction performance of the models for the elderly attenuated. In the future, high-quality external validation researches are necessary to provide more solid evidence. Different ways, including adding new predictors, using competing risk model algorithms, machine learning methods, or joint models, and altering the prediction time horizon, should be explored to optimize the current models.

Abstract
Routine chest imaging has been used to identify unknown or subclinical cardiothoracic abnormalities in the absence of symptoms. Various imaging modalities have been suggested for routine chest imaging. We review the evidence for or against the use of routine chest imaging in different clinical scenarios. This document aims to determine guidelines for the use of routine chest imaging as initial imaging for hospital admission, initial imaging prior to noncardiothoracic surgery, and surveillance imaging for chronic cardiopulmonary disease. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision process support the systematic analysis of the medical literature from peer reviewed journals. Established methodology principles such as Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE are adapted to evaluate the evidence. The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method User Manual provides the methodology to determine the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where peer reviewed literature is lacking or equivocal, experts may be the primary evidentiary source available to formulate a recommendation.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: There is a critical need to incorporate molecular assessments of minimal residual disease (MRD) during neoadjuvant immunotherapy, in order to identify individuals at high risk for disease recurrence based on analyses of circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) landscapes. Here we employed longitudinal liquid biopsies to dynamically assess clinical outcomes with neoadjuvant immuno-chemoradiotherapy in patients with esophageal/gastroesophageal junction (E/GEJ) cancer.
Methods: We utilized targeted error-correction sequencing to perform high-depth ctDNA next-generation sequencing for 141 serial plasma and 32 matched white blood cell (WBC) DNA samples from 32 patients with operable stage II/III E/GEJ cancer that received neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with chemoradiotherapy prior to surgery (NCT03044613). ctDNA analyses were performed at baseline, post-ICB induction, after completion of chemoradiotherapy (pre-op), and post-operatively (post-op). Using a tumor-agnostic WBC DNA-informed panel NGS approach we determined the cellular origin of plasma variants, filtering out germline and clonal hematopoiesis (CH) variants and evaluated ctDNA clonal dynamics over time. Molecular MRD was evaluated post-ICB, pre-op and post-op and correlated with recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
Results: Twenty out of 32 patients had detectable ctDNA at any timepoint. Of the 12 patients with undetectable ctDNA, 9 had only CH- and/or germline-derived variants, while 3 patients had no detectable variants of any origin. ctDNA clearance post-ICB was correlated with tumor regression >80% at the time of resection (Fischer’s exact p=0.04). The subset of patients that did not attain complete pathologic response was heterogeneous with respect to ctDNA dynamics; such that ctDNA clearance pre-op identified patients with longer OS despite residual tumor of >0% at the time of resection (log rank p=0.06). Patients with undetectable ctDNA or ctDNA clearance pre-op had a longer RFS (log rank p=0.007) and OS (log rank p=0.03). Molecular MRD was associated with RFS and OS such that patients with ctDNA clearance post-op had longer RFS (log-rank p=0.007) and OS (log-rank p=0.017).
Conclusion: ctDNA clearance post-ICB, pre-op and post-op reflects differential clinical outcomes for patients with E/GEJ cancer receiving neoadjuvant immuno-chemoradiotherapy. Understanding ctDNA dynamics and their relationship with pathological response and long-term outcomes can help identify patients at higher risk for recurrence and open a therapeutic window for future intervention.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important global public health problem that greatly threatens population health. Application of risk prediction model is a crucial way for the primary prevention of CKD, which can stratify the risk for developing CKD and identify high-risk individuals for more intensive interventions. By now, more than twenty risk prediction models for CKD have been developed worldwide. There are also four domestic risk prediction models developed for Chinese population. However, none of these models have been recommended in clinical guidelines yet. The existing risk prediction models have some limitations in terms of outcome definition, predictors, strategies for handling missing data, and model derivation. In the future, the applications of emerging biomarkers and polygenic risk scores as well as advances in machine learning methods will provide more possibilities for the further improvement of the model.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical specialties, including oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS), are traditionally male-dominated fields. This study aimed to analyze the proportions of female surgeons on specialty society boards and journal editorial boards in OMS in the United States and to assess whether they were proportionate with female representation in OMS academic faculty between 2011 and 2020. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed using information obtained from the websites of two major OMS journals and information obtained directly from six American specialty societies for OMS. The predictor variable was time. The outcome variable was gender. Temporal changes in the proportion of women on society and journal editorial boards were compared with those amongst full-time board-certified faculty. Chi-squared test and simple linear regression were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS Between 2011 and 2020, the proportion of women on editorial and society boards was 6.7% (31 women among 463 editorial board members) and 7.8% (43 women among 553 society board members), respectively. The proportion of women on editorial boards increased from 4.5% in 2011 to 10.6% in 2020 (β = 0.656 [95% confidence interval, 0.336-0.975], P = .001) and that of women on society boards increased from 4.3% in 2011 to 10.3% in 2020 (β = 0.645 [95% confidence interval, 0.252-1.037], P = .005). The proportion of women on editorial boards in 2011-2012 was significantly lower than that in full-time board-certified faculty positions (4.3% vs 11.0%, P = .045), whereas by 2019-2020, there was no difference between the 2 groups (9.8% vs 12.5%, P = .454). Similarly, the proportion of women on society boards in 2011-2012 tended to be lower than that in full-time board-certified faculty positions (5.6% vs 11.0%, P = .111), while in 2019-2020, no difference was observed between the 2 groups (10.4% vs 12.5%, P = .531). CONCLUSION The proportion of women on society and journal editorial boards in OMS remains low but has progressively increased from 2011 to 2020, resulting in proportionate female representation in these positions compared with the gender composition of academic faculty in recent years. The current upward trend of female representation in leadership positions will hopefully present more diverse opportunities and mentorship/role models for trainees.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Preclinical and clinical data indicate that neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) may prime an anti-tumor immunological response in esophageal cancer driven by intratumoral CD8+ T cells and PD-L1 expression. LAG-3 is also highly expressed in esophagogastric cancers. The microbiome, a novel and potentially modifiable, biomarker of IO response, has not yet been examined in the neoadjuvant setting in esophageal cancer and is the goal of our study.
Methods: Fecal samples were collected from patients with stage II/III esophageal or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma eligible for curative resection treated with the standard of care regimen of carboplatin paclitaxel (50mg/m2), radiation 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions and an Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy 6-10 weeks after last CRT and immunotherapy (IO) dose. Patients on arm A (n=11) received 2 cycles of induction with nivolumab plus 3 additional cycles on week 1, 3 and 5 of CRT. Patients on arm B (n=8) received nivolumab plus relatlimab on the same schedule (Clinical trial: NCT03044613). We examined longitudinal fecal samples from n=19 patients across both arms (n=90 samples) using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Patients were classified based on pathological response: complete response (CR) and grades 1, 2, and 3 (G1, G2, G3) with increasing residual tumor visible in the resected specimen. Sequencing data was trimmed and filtered for contaminants, followed by high-resolution taxonomic assignment and normalization of reads across all samples. Analysis was performed using multiple metrics for alpha diversity and beta-diversity, with principal coordinates analysis/PERMANOVA, and pathway analysis using Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States (PICRUSt).
Results: Patients with improved response in the neoadjuvant setting (CR/G1 vs G2/G3) grouped in distinct clusters using Bray-Curtis (p < 0.001). Patients with CR had higher alpha diversity, using both measures of richness and evenness, compared to patients with a G3 responses (p < 0.03). Specifically, family Bacteroidaceae and genus Bacteroides were enriched in patients with CR vs G3 (p < 0.02). At the species level, B. finegoldii, B. ovatus, and B. uniformis were enriched in patients with CR vs G3 (p < 0.02). In contrast, genus Klebsiella and Clostridium termitidis were enriched in patients with a poor response, G3 (p <0.001, both). Pathway analysis found two metabolic pathways enriched in patients with CR: secondary bile acid biosynthesis (p=0.005) and lysine biosynthesis (p=0.02).
Conclusions: Patients with operable esophageal cancer and improved responses to combined CRT and IO had distinct microbiome profiles enriched in multiple Bacteroides species. Further analyses and validation efforts are underway to confirm metabolomic pathways.

Abstract
NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) provide recommended management for patients with NSCLC, including diagnosis, primary treatment, surveillance for relapse, and subsequent treatment. Patients with metastatic lung cancer who are eligible for targeted therapies or immunotherapies are now surviving longer. This selection from the NCCN Guidelines for NSCLC focuses on targeted therapies for patients with metastatic NSCLC and actionable mutations.

Abstract
This study sought to identify disparities in the timing of alveolar bone grafting (ABG) surgery and the replacement strategy for missing maxillary lateral incisors for patients with clefts. A retrospective record review identified patients who underwent ABG. Multivariable regression analyzed the independent contribution of each variable. This institutional study was performed at the University of California, San Francisco. Patients who presented under age 12 and underwent secondary ABG between 2012 and 2020 (n = 160). The age at secondary ABG and the recommended dental replacement treatment for each patient, either dental implantation or canine substitution. The average age at ABG was 10.8 ± 2.1 years, 106 (66.3%) patients were not White, and 80 (50.0%) had private insurance. Independent predictors of older age at ABG included an income below $ 50 000 as estimated from ZIP code (β = 15.0 months, 95% CI, 5.7-24.3, P = .002) and identifying as a race other than White (β = 10.1 months, 95% CI, 2.1-18.0, P = .01). After ABG, patients were more likely to undergo dental implantation over canine substitution if they were female (odds ratio [OR] = 4.3, 95% CI, 1.3-17.1, P = .02) or had private insurance (OR = 12.5, 95% CI, 2.2-143.2, P = .01). Patients who were low-income or not White experienced delays in ABG, whereas dental implantation was more likely to be recommended for patients with private insurance. Understanding the sources of disparities in dental reconstruction of cleft deformities may reveal opportunities to improve equity.

Abstract
Simple Summary The role of exosomes in HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) as well as in cancer patients seems to be pivotal. The aim of our retrospective study was to assess the potential clinical value of CD9-positive plasma exosomes in lung cancer patients, patients with lung granulomas, healthy individuals, and HIV-positive patients with or without lung cancer. This study shows that CD9-positive plasma exosome concentrations differ between healthy controls, patients with immunocompetent pulmonary granulomas and patients with lung cancer. In addition, CD9-positive plasma exosomes are increased in HIV seropositive and HIV seronegative lung cancer patients compared to healthy controls, while chemotherapy-treated lung cancer patients have lower plasma exosome levels. This study also shows that in chemotherapy-naïve patients, plasma exosome levels are directly correlated with a prognosis with higher concentrations being associated with a longer, overall survival. These findings further support previous literature on the translational significance of total plasma exosomes in cancer patients, despite different immunological contexts. Abstract Recently, the role of exosomes in the progression of both cancer and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) has been described. This study investigates the clinical significance of CD9-positive plasma exosomes in lung cancer patients, healthy individuals, and HIV-positive patients with or without lung cancer. Using a verified with transmission electron microscopy double-sandwich ELISA technique, plasma-derived exosomes were isolated and quantified from 210 lung cancer patients (including 44 metastatic patients with progressive disease after chemotherapy), 49 healthy controls, 20 patients with pulmonary granulomas, 19 HIV+ patients with lung cancer, 31 HIV+ patients without cancer, and 3 HIV+ patients with pulmonary granulomas. Plasma exosome concentrations differed between healthy controls, patients with immunocompetent pulmonary granulomas and patients with lung cancer even after chemotherapy (p < 0.001). Lung cancer patients after chemotherapy had lower exosome concentrations compared to patients with untreated lung cancer or granuloma (p < 0.001 for both). HIV+ patients without lung cancer had significantly higher exosome concentrations compared to HIV+ patients with lung cancer (p = 0.016). Although exosome concentrations differed between all different lung cancer histologies and healthy controls (p < 0.001 for all histologies), adjusted statistical significance was oµy retained for patients with granulomas and SCLC (Small-cell lung cancer, p < 0.001). HIV-induced immunodeficient patients with or without lung cancer had lower plasma exosomes compared to immunocompetent granuloma and lung cancer patients (p < 0.001). Finally, higher plasma exosomes were associated both on univariate (p = 0.044), and multivariate analysis (p = 0.040) with a better 3-year survival in stage II and III NSCLC (Non-small-cell lung carcinoma) patients. In conclusion, our study shows that CD9-positive plasma exosomes are associated with both lung cancer and HIV, prior chemotherapy, as well as with survival, suggesting a possible prognostic value.

Abstract
Objective: To develop an R script that can efficiently and accurately filter genome-wide association studies (GWASs) from the GWAS Catalog Website. Methods: The selection principles of GWASs were established based on previous studies. The process of manual filtering in the GWAS Catalog was abstracted as standard algorithms. The R script (gwasfilter.R) was written by two programmers and tested many times. Results: It takes six steps for gwasfilter.R to filter GWASs. There are five main self-defined functions among this R script. GWASs can be filtered based on "whether the GWAS has been replicated" "sample size" "ethnicity of the study population" and other conditions. It takes no more than 1 second for this script to filter GWASs of a single trait. Conclusions: This R script (gwasfilter.R) is user-friendly and provides an efficient and standard process to filter GWASs flexibly. The source code is available at github (https://github.com/lab319/gwas_filter).

Abstract
The US Health and Human Services Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force initiated a public-private partnership which led to the publication of its report in 2019. The report emphasized the need for individualized, multimodal, and multidisciplinary approaches to pain management that decrease the over-reliance on opioids, increase access to care, and promote widespread education on pain and substance use disorders. The Task Force specifically called on specialty organizations to work together to develop evidence-based guidelines. In response to this report's recommendations, a consortium of 14 professional healthcare societies committed to a 2-year project to advance pain management for the surgical patient and improve opioid safety. The modified Delphi process included two rounds of electronic voting and culminated in a live virtual event in February 2021, during which seven common guiding principles were established for acute perioperative pain management. These principles should help to inform local action and future development of clinical practice recommendations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Aquatic activities are some of the most widely enjoyed sports and recreational activities in the United States. This study aimed to analyze the risks and types of craniofacial injuries associated with various aquatic activities. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed aquatic activity-related craniofacial injuries between 2010 and 2019 using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database. Aquatic activities included swimming, diving, surfing, water skiing, and water tubing. Risks and types of craniofacial injuries were analyzed according to the types of aquatic activities, age, and sex. RESULTS Among 48,112 patients with aquatic activity-related injuries, 9,529 (19.8%) had craniofacial injuries. In decreasing order of frequency, the causes of craniofacial injuries were swimming (79.6%), diving (7.5%), surfing (5.9%), water skiing (3.6%), and water tubing (3.5%). The proportion of craniofacial injuries among all injuries was higher in males than in females (22.8 vs 16.3%, P < .001), and decreased with age: 27.7% in 0 to 5 years, 21.5% in 6 to 11 years, 20.5% in 12 to 17 years, and 15.2% in ≥18 years (P < .001). Additionally, the proportion of craniofacial injuries was highest in diving (38.7%), and lowest in swimming (18.1%, P < .001). The male-to-female ratio in the proportion of patients with craniofacial injuries was highest in swimming at 1.42, and close to unity (0.97-1.13) in other activities. The most common type of craniofacial injury was laceration (43.5%), followed by concussion/internal organ injury (38.9%), contusion/abrasion (11.3%), and fracture (3%). Among all craniofacial injuries, the proportion of craniofacial fractures was highest in water tubing (8.5%) and lowest in swimming (2.2%, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Craniofacial injuries are a frequent cause of morbidity related to aquatic activities. Substantial variability exists in the risk and pattern of craniofacial injuries depending on the type of activity, age, and sex. These findings may aid in instituting educational programs and preventive measures against aquatic activity-related craniofacial injuries.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the transitions of frailty status and related factors influencing its worsening in middle-aged and elderly adults. Methods: Data was obtained from the Beijing MJ Health Screening Center. A total of 13 689 participants who attended health checkups at least twice during 2008-2019 and had more than three years' intervals during these two health checkups were included in the study. The frailty index comprising 28 variables was used to measure frailty status. Frailty was defined as frailty index ≥0.25, and prefrailty was defined as frailty index >0.10 and <0.25. Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association of socio-demographic factors and lifestyle characteristics with the worsening of frailty status, stratified by frailty status at the first health checkup. Results: The mean age at the first and last health checkups were (42.3±9.2) and (47.9±9.3) years, respectively. The mean interval during these two health checkups was (5.7±1.9) years. At the first health checkup, the prevalence of frailty and prefrailty were 2.5% and 50.3%, respectively. While at the last health checkup, the prevalence of frailty and prefrailty rose to 3.9% and 55.4%. Of all participants, 67.3% remained in the same frailty state, 21.2% worsening, and 12.5% improving. In robust participants at the first health checkup, older age, female, low education level, smoking cessation, daily smoking, being general obesity measured by BMI or central obesity measured by WHR showed an increased the risk of worsening frailty status. However, in prefrail participants at the first health checkup, older age, female, general, or central obesity presented as risk factors for worsening frailty status. Conclusion: Modifiable factors such as low education level, smoking, and obesity may increase the risk of worsening frailty status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Definitive chemoradiation with consolidative immunotherapy offers the best chance for cure in patients with unresectable, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, treatment-related lymphopenia (TRL) may negatively impact outcomes. METHODS Patients definitively treated with chemoradiation and immunotherapy from 2015 to 2019 at a single tertiary academic center were identified. Severe lymphopenia was defined as <0.5 × 109 cells/L. Progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated by Kaplan Meier methodology. Univariate and multivariate Cox Proportional Hazard modeling was used to correlate clinical variables with disease outcome. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were assessed according to CTCAE version 5.0 criteria. RESULTS Seventy-eight patients were included in the final cohort. The median age was 66 years (IQR: 58-73), 55 % were males, and 88 % had a KPS of >70. At baseline, 90 % (n = 70/78) of patients had a normal ALC and one patient had severe lymphopenia. After chemoradiation, the median ALC decreased from 1.52 × 109cells/L (IQR: 1.23-1.98) to 0.72 × 109cells/L (IQR: 0.52-0.94) (p < 0.001), 22 % (n = 17/78) of patients had a normal ALC, and 23 % (n = 18/78) of patients developed severe lymphopenia. Patients who initiated consolidative immunotherapy with severe lymphopenia had worse PFS than those who did not (median 217 days [IQR: 120-434] vs. 570 days [IQR: 401-NR], p < 0.001). On multivariate modeling, severe lymphopenia at the time of immunotherapy initiation remained an independent predictor of worse PFS (HR 4.90, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This is the first report to associate severe TRL with disease progression in patients with locally advanced NSCLC receiving consolidative immunotherapy. Factors associated with development of lymphopenia and strategies to mitigate lymphopenic effects should be considered.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the early results of pulmonary autograft mitral valve replacement (Ross Ⅱ procedure) in infants with intractable congenital mitral valve lesions. Methods: Between August 2018 and September 2019, 6 infants underwent mitral valve replacement with a pulmonary autograft in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center. There were 2 males and 4 females.The age at surgery ranged from 50 days to 1 year old.Preoperative diagnoses included severe to critic mitral valve insuffiency in all patients, moderate mitral valve stenosis in 3 patients, and mitral valve prolapse in one. When the pulmonary autograft was harvested, a cuff of bovine or autologous pericardium was sewn onto the proximal (infundibular) end of the autograft ( "top-hat" configuration). The distal (pulmonary) end of the autograft was secured to the mitral annulus.At the level of the left atrial free wall, the pericardial cuff was progressively tailored and sewn onto the atrial wall to remain away from the ostia of the pulmonary veins and to maintain normal morphology of the autograft. The bovine jugular valved conduit was used to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract. Results: There was one early death due to sudden cardiac arrest at the night of surgery day. The remaining 5 patients were successfully recovered and discharged. Follow-up of survivors ranged from 3 to 13 months. Echocardiographic follow-up demonstrated the flow velocity across the mitral valve position was 1.5 to 2.3 m/s, with a means gradient of 4 to 6 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). Four patients showed mild mitral insuffiency, normal left atrium and ventricle size and left ventricle ejection fraction.One patient had moderate mitral insuffiency, pulmonary valve endocarditis, and reduced left ventricle ejection fraction. The clinical symptoms of all survivals improved significantly and the weight gain were satisfactory. Conclusion: Pulmonary autograft mitral valve replacement may be a feasible and effective remedial surgical strategy for young infants with intractable congenital mitral valve lesions.

Methods: From March 2011 to July 2018, 201 kidney transplantation recipients who were diagnosed of IgAN by transplant renal biopsy in the Department of Organ Transplantation of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively reviewed, of which 18 patients underwent tonsillectomy after renal biopsy. The clinical data of the 18 patients were collected, patient and kidney survival time and function of the transplanted kidney were analyzed. Results: Of the 18 recipients, 13 were male and 5 were female, with an average age of (36.0±10.9) years. All 18 patients survived during follow-up. Two patients returned to dialysis treatment 10 months and 14 months after tonsillectomy, respectively. The creatinine was 94 (78, 133) μmol/L, 95 (74, 139) μmol/L, 106 (87, 158) μmol/L and 95(81, 147) μmol/L before tonsillectomy, 3 months, 1 year and 2 years after tonsillectomy, respectively (P=0.206). Urinary protein quantification was 0.31 (0.16, 1.38) g/24 h, 0.34 (0.10, 1.42) g/24 h, 0.33 (0.11, 0.56) g/24 h and 0.25 (0.10, 0.50) g/24 h at the same time points, respectively (P=0.104). The two patients who returned to dialysis were diagnosed of IgAN by transplant renal biopsy because of elevated creatinine, proteinuria and hematuria, 9 years and 4 years after kidney transplant respectively. Renal biopsy suggested that glomerular and segmental sclerosis were 7/24, 5/24 and 1/6, 2/6, respectively. Additionally, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) were both occupied 30% in the biopsies, and tonsillectomy was performed 461 days and 1 077 days after diagnosis of IgAN, respectively. Conclusions: Tonsillectomy can maintain the stability of renal function and prevent the aggravation of proteinuria in IgAN patients after renal transplantation. However, if pathology suggests obvious glomerulosclerosis or IF/TA, tonsillectomy may not be effective.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the associations between perceived built environment attributes and adults' leisure-time physical activity in four cities of China. Methods: Multistage cluster random sampling method was used to select adults aged 25 to 64 in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu, and Qingdao. Data were collected from June 2017 to July 2018. The perception of the urban built environment was assessed by the neighborhood environment walkability scale-abbreviated (NEWS-A), and the physical activity was assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Generalized linear mixed models were used to explore the relationship between the perceived built environment and leisure-time physical activities. Results: A total of 3 789 participants were included in the analysis. After adjusting for potential confounders, better access to public services (OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.02-1.75) and higher aesthetic quality (OR=1.37, 95%CI: 1.09-1.73) were positively associated with the possibility of engaging in leisure-time physical activity in the past week. Similarly, these two attributes were positively associated with leisure-time walking. Higher scores on the perception of street connectivity were positively associated with leisure-time walking [exp(β)=1.09, 95%CI: 1.00-1.19]. Higher residential density [exp(β)=1.000 4, 95%CI:1.000 0-1.000 8], better access to physical activity destinations[exp(β)=1.09, 95%CI: 1.00-1.19], and better aesthetics [exp(β)=1.11, 95%CI:1.00-1.22] were associated with higher leisure-time physical activity. Similarly, these three attributes were positively associated with the possibility of meeting the WHO recommendations. Conclusion: Changing some urban built environment attributes may increase leisure-time physical activity.

Abstract
Epidemiology is a discipline integrating methodology and applied science, whose mission is to prevent and control diseases and promote health. This review introduces the new progress of epidemiology from five aspects: communicable diseases, chronic diseases, systems epidemiology, implementation research and big data of health care. New projects and constantly emerging technologies in the field of infectious diseases are inspiring, while more attention should be paid to the environmental factors of pathogen variation. In the field of chronic diseases, there is an urgent need to study the multimorbidity of the elderly. The role of infectious inducers and human microbiota in the occurrence and development of chronic diseases has been gradually revealed. Systems epidemiology, which is of great significance to achieve precision prevention is a new branch and an important supplement of modern epidemiology. Implementation research, is a bridge connecting basic scientific research and public health practice and will provide evidence to support the effective implementation of the Health China Action Plan. The development of health care big data is based on digital public health, which provides a broad research platform and abundant data resources for epidemiology, and will promote the fundamental transformation of the service and management mode of public health.

Abstract
Cancer recurrence after surgery remains an unresolved clinical problem1-3. Myeloid cells derived from bone marrow contribute to the formation of the premetastatic microenvironment, which is required for disseminating tumour cells to engraft distant sites4-6. There are currently no effective interventions that prevent the formation of the premetastatic microenvironment6,7. Here we show that, after surgical removal of primary lung, breast and oesophageal cancers, low-dose adjuvant epigenetic therapy disrupts the premetastatic microenvironment and inhibits both the formation and growth of lung metastases through its selective effect on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). In mouse models of pulmonary metastases, MDSCs are key factors in the formation of the premetastatic microenvironment after resection of primary tumours. Adjuvant epigenetic therapy that uses low-dose DNA methyltransferase and histone deacetylase inhibitors, 5-azacytidine and entinostat, disrupts the premetastatic niche by inhibiting the trafficking of MDSCs through the downregulation of CCR2 and CXCR2, and by promoting MDSC differentiation into a more-interstitial macrophage-like phenotype. A decreased accumulation of MDSCs in the premetastatic lung produces longer periods of disease-free survival and increased overall survival, compared with chemotherapy. Our data demonstrate that, even after removal of the primary tumour, MDSCs contribute to the development of premetastatic niches and settlement of residual tumour cells. A combination of low-dose adjuvant epigenetic modifiers that disrupts this premetastatic microenvironment and inhibits metastases may permit an adjuvant approach to cancer therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association between the frequency of bowel movement (BMF) and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: In this study, 510 134 participants from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) were included after excluding those who reported to had been diagnosed with cancer at baseline survey. The baseline survey was conducted from 2004 to 2008. The study used the data from the baseline survey and follow-up until December 31, 2016. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the HRs and the 95%CIs of risk of PD diagnosis with BMF. Results: During an average follow-up period of (9.9±1.9) years, 808 participants were diagnosed with PD. Compared with participants who had bowel movements every day, the multivariable-adjusted HR (95%CI) for those who had bowel movements<3 times/week, once every 2-3 days, and>1 time/day were 3.62 (2.88-4.54), 2.13 (1.74-2.60), and 0.81 (0.63-1.05), respectively. The linear trend test results of the association between BMF and risk of PD diagnosis was significant (P<0.001). Compared with the participants who had bowel movements ≥1 time/day, the multivariable-adjusted HR (95%CI) for those who had bowel movements<1 time/day was 3.13 (2.32-4.23) within the 5 years of follow- up and was 2.48 (2.05-3.01) beyond the 5 years of follow-up. The gender specific results were similar. The association of BMF<1 time/day with risk of PD diagnosis was stronger in older participants. Conclusions: The participants with low BMF at baseline survey would have higher risk for PD diagnosis in the subsequent 10 years on average. Since abnormal decrease of BMF is easy to be found, programs could be set up for the early screening of PD in older people, along with other early symptoms of PD.

Abstract
Background Neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 may improve outcomes for patients with resectable NSCLC and provides a critical window for examining pathologic features associated with response. Resections showing major pathologic response to neoadjuvant therapy, defined as ≤10% residual viable tumor (RVT), may predict improved long-term patient outcome. However, %RVT calculations were developed in the context of chemotherapy (%cRVT). An immune-related %RVT (%irRVT) has yet to be developed. Patients and methods The first trial of neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 (nivolumab, NCT02259621) was just reported. We analyzed hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides from the post-treatment resection specimens of the 20 patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma who underwent definitive surgery. Pretreatment tumor biopsies and preresection radiographic 'tumor' measurements were also assessed. Results We found that the regression bed (the area of immune-mediated tumor clearance) accounts for the previously noted discrepancy between CT imaging and pathologic assessment of residual tumor. The regression bed is characterized by (i) immune activation-dense tumor infiltrating lymphocytes with macrophages and tertiary lymphoid structures; (ii) massive tumor cell death-cholesterol clefts; and (iii) tissue repair-neovascularization and proliferative fibrosis (each feature enriched in major pathologic responders versus nonresponders, P < 0.05). This distinct constellation of histologic findings was not identified in any pretreatment specimens. Histopathologic features of the regression bed were used to develop 'Immune-Related Pathologic Response Criteria' (irPRC), and these criteria were shown to be reproducible amongst pathologists. Specifically, %irRVT had improved interobserver consistency compared with %cRVT [median per-case %RVT variability 5% (0%-29%) versus 10% (0%-58%), P = 0.007] and a twofold decrease in median standard deviation across pathologists within a sample (4.6 versus 2.2, P = 0.002). Conclusions irPRC may be used to standardize pathologic assessment of immunotherapeutic efficacy. Long-term follow-up is needed to determine irPRC reliability as a surrogate for recurrence-free and overall survival.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States and worldwide. Early detection of lung cancer is an important opportunity for decreasing mortality. Data support using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) of the chest to screen select patients who are at high risk for lung cancer. Lung screening is covered under the Affordable Care Act for individuals with high-risk factors. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) covers annual screening LDCT for appropriate Medicare beneficiaries at high risk for lung cancer if they also receive counseling and participate in shared decision-making before screening. The complete version of the NCCN Guidelines for Lung Cancer Screening provides recommendations for initial and subsequent LDCT screening and provides more detail about LDCT screening. This manuscript focuses on identifying patients at high risk for lung cancer who are candidates for LDCT of the chest and on evaluating initial screening findings.

Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor-Induced Neutrophil Recruitment Provides Opioid-Mediated Endogenous Anti-nociception in Female Mice With Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Abstract
Oral cancer patients report severe function-induced pain; severity is greater in females. We hypothesize that a neutrophil-mediated endogenous analgesic mechanism is responsible for sex differences in nociception secondary to oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Neutrophils isolated from the cancer-induced inflammatory microenvironment contain β-endorphin protein and are identified by the Ly6G+ immune marker. We previously demonstrated that male mice with carcinogen-induced oral SCC exhibit less nociceptive behavior and a higher concentration of neutrophils in the cancer microenvironment compared to female mice with oral SCC. Oral cancer cells secrete granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), a growth factor that recruits neutrophils from bone marrow to the cancer microenvironment. We found that recombinant G-CSF (rG-CSF, 5 μg/mouse, intraperitoneal) significantly increased circulating Ly6G+ neutrophils in the blood of male and female mice within 24 h of administration. In an oral cancer supernatant mouse model, rG-CSF treatment increased cancer-recruited Ly6G+ neutrophil infiltration and abolished orofacial nociceptive behavior evoked in response to oral cancer supernatant in both male and female mice. Local naloxone treatment restored the cancer mediator-induced nociceptive behavior. We infer that rG-CSF-induced Ly6G+ neutrophils drive an endogenous analgesic mechanism. We then evaluated the efficacy of chronic rG-CSF administration to attenuate oral cancer-induced nociception using a tongue xenograft cancer model with the HSC-3 human oral cancer cell line. Saline-treated male mice with HSC-3 tumors exhibited less oral cancer-induced nociceptive behavior and had more β-endorphin protein in the cancer microenvironment than saline-treated female mice with HSC-3 tumors. Chronic rG-CSF treatment (2.5 μg/mouse, every 72 h) increased the HSC-3 recruited Ly6G+ neutrophils, increased β-endorphin protein content in the tongue and attenuated nociceptive behavior in female mice with HSC-3 tumors. From these data, we conclude that neutrophil-mediated endogenous opioids warrant further investigation as a potential strategy for oral cancer pain treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature suggests favorable survival for patients with isolated pulmonary recurrence after resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) as compared to other recurrence patterns. Within this cohort, it remains unclear what factors are associated with improved survival. METHODS Patients who developed pulmonary recurrence after pancreatectomy were selected from a prospective database. Predictors for post-recurrence survival (PRS) were analyzed using a multivariable Cox regression model. RESULTS Ninety-six patients were included. Median recurrence-free survival (RFS), PRS and overall survival (OS) were 16.3, 18.8 and 39.6 months, respectively. Further systemic treatment and/or metastasectomy (n = 64, 67%) was associated with significantly improved PRS and OS when compared to best supportive care (n = 35, 22%) (26.3 vs. 5.3 and 48.1 vs. 18.4, respectively; both P < 0.001). Patients who were able to undergo metastasectomy (n = 19) achieved a PRS and OS of 35.0 and 68.9 months, respectively. More than 5 pulmonary lesions, symptoms and CA 19-9 ≥100 U/mL at time of recurrence were predictive of decreased PRS. A recurrence-free interval of >16 months and treatment for recurrence were independently associated with improved PRS. CONCLUSIONS Isolated pulmonary recurrence occurs in 13% of patients with recurrent PDAC and is associated with a median OS of 40 months. Aggressive treatment in highly selected patients was correlated with improved survival.
