Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy is increasing. Data relating to investigation and management, as well as maternal and foetal outcomes is lacking in a United Kingdom (UK) population. METHODS In this retrospective study we report data from 119 patients diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy from 14 cancer centres in the UK across a five-year period (2016-2020). RESULTS Median age at diagnosis was 33 years, with breast, skin and haematological the most common primary sites. The majority of cases were new diagnoses (109 patients, 91.6%). Most patients were treated with radical intent (96 patients, 80.7%), however, gastrointestinal cancers were associated with a high rate of palliative intent treatment (63.6%). Intervention was commenced during pregnancy in 68 (57.1%) patients; 44 (37%) had surgery and 31 (26.1%) received chemotherapy. Live births occurred in 98 (81.7%) of the cases, with 54 (55.1%) of these delivered by caesarean section. Maternal mortality during the study period was 20.2%. CONCLUSIONS This is the first pan-tumour report of diagnosis, management and outcomes of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy in the UK. Our findings demonstrate proof of concept that data collection is feasible and highlight the need for further research in this cohort of patients.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an incurable chronic respiratory disease, has become a major public health problem. The relationship between the composition of intestinal microbiota and the important clinical factors affecting COPD remains unclear. This study aimed to identify specific intestinal microbiota with high clinical diagnostic value for COPD. Methods The fecal microbiota of patients with COPD and healthy individuals were analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing. Random forest classification was performed to analyze the different intestinal microbiota. Spearman correlation was conducted to analyze the correlation between different intestinal microbiota and clinical characteristics. A microbiota-disease network diagram was constructed using the gut MDisorder database to identify the possible pathogenesis of intestinal microorganisms affecting COPD, screen for potential treatment, and guide future research. Results No significant difference in biodiversity was shown between the two groups but significant differences in microbial community structure. Fifteen genera of bacteria with large abundance differences were identified, including Bacteroides, Prevotella, Lachnospira, and Parabacteroides. Among them, the relative abundance of Lachnospira and Coprococcus was negatively related to the smoking index and positively related to lung function results. By contrast, the relative abundance of Parabacteroides was positively correlated with the smoking index and negatively correlated with lung function findings. Random forest classification showed that Lachnospira was the genus most capable of distinguishing between patients with COPD and healthy individuals suggesting it may be a potential biomarker of COPD. A Lachnospira disease network diagram suggested that Lachnospira decreased in some diseases, such as asthma, diabetes mellitus, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and increased in other diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome, hypertension, and bovine lichen. Conclusion The dominant intestinal microbiota with significant differences is related to the clinical characteristics of COPD, and the Lachnospira has the potential value to identify COPD.

Abstract
Secondary osteoporosis is frequently due to the use of high-dose glucocorticoids (GCs). The existing strategy for managing glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is considered insufficient and remains in a state of ongoing evolution. Therefore, it is crucial to develop more precise and effective agents for the treatment of GIOP. The constituents of Reynoutria multiflora (Thunb.) Moldenke, specifically Polygonum multiflorum (PM) Thunb, have previously shown promise in mitigating osteopenia. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of an ethanolic PM extract (PMR30) against GIOP in male rats. Prednisone (6 mg/kg/day, GC) was continuously administered to rats to induce GIOP, and they were subjected to treatment with or without ethanolic PMR30 for a duration of 120 days. Serum was collected for biochemical marker analysis. Bone histomorphometric, histological, and TUNEL analyses were performed on tibia samples. The protein expressions of LC3, Agt5, and Beclin 1 in the femur underwent examination through western blotting. Prolonged and excessive GC treatment significantly impeded bone formation, concomitant with reduced bone mass and body weight. It also suppressed OCN and OPG/RANKL in serum, and decreased Beclin 1 and LC3 in bone. Simultaneously, there was an elevation in bone resorption markers and apoptosis. Treatments with both high dose and low dose of PMR30 alleviated GIOP, stimulated bone formation, and upregulated OCN and OPG/RANKL, while suppressing TRACP-5b, CTX-I, and apoptosis. The impact of PMR30 possibly involves the enhancement of autophagy proteins (LC3, Agt5, and Beclin 1) and the inhibition of apoptosis within the bone. PMR30 holds promise as a prospective therapeutic agent for preventing and treating GIOP.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is an important factor leading to pulmonary fibrosis. Deficiency of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) in mice leads to alleviation of bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis, and inhibition of the OGG1 enzyme reduces the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung cells. In the present study, we find decreased expression of OGG1 in aged mice and BLM-induced cell senescence. In addition, a decrease in OGG1 expression results in cell senescence, such as increases in the percentage of SA-β-gal-positive cells, and in the p21 and p-H2AX protein levels in response to BLM in lung cells. Furthermore, OGG1 promotes cell transformation in A549 cells in the presence of BLM. We also find that OGG1 siRNA impedes cell cycle progression and inhibits the levels of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and LaminB1 in BLM-treated lung cells. The increase in OGG1 expression results in the opposite phenomenon. The mRNA levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) components, including IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, CXCL1/CXCL2, and MMP-3, in the absence of OGG1 are obviously increased in A549 cells treated with BLM. Interestingly, we demonstrate that OGG1 binds to p53 to inhibit the activation of p53 and that silencing of p53 reverses the inhibition of OGG1 on senescence in lung cells. Additionally, the augmented cell senescence is shown in vivo in OGG1-deficient mice. Overall, we provide direct evidence in vivo and in vitro that OGG1 plays an important role in protecting tissue cells against aging associated with the p53 pathway.

Abstract
One of abundant DNA lesions induced by reactive oxygen species is 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), which compromises genetic instability. 8-oxoG is recognized by the DNA repair protein 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) that not only participates in base excision repair but also involves in transcriptional regulation.OGG1 has an important role inIdiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) processing and targeting fibroblasts is a major strategy for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, but whether OGG1 activate fibroblast is not clear. In this study, we show that OGG1 expression level is increased at the fibroblast activation stage in mouse lungs induced by bleomycin (BLM) treatment. OGG1 promoted the expression level of fibroblast activation markers (CTGF, fibronectin, and collagen 1) in a pro-fibrotic gene transcriptional regulation pathway via interacting with Snail1, which dependent on 8-oxoG recognition. Global inhibition of OGG1 at the middle stage of lung fibrosis also relieved BLM-induced lung fibrosis in mice. Our results suggest that OGG1 is a target for inhibiting fibroblast activation and a potential therapeutic target for IPF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE 30-day readmission after hip fracture surgery in the elderly is common and costly. A predictive tool to identify high-risk patients could significantly improve outcomes. This study aims to develop and validate a risk nomogram for 30-day readmission after hip fracture surgery in geriatric patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 1,249 geriatric hip fracture patients (≥60 years) undergoing surgery at Dandong Central Hospital from October 2011 to October 2023. Using a 7:3 ratio, patients were randomly divided into training (n=877) and validation (n=372) sets. Independent risk factors for 30-day readmission were identified using LASSO regression and logistic regression in the training set. A nomogram was constructed using the identified predictors. Finally, the C-index, ROC curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis were used to validate the model in the training and validation sets respectively. RESULTS The nomogram was developed based on the 8 predictors of age, prior stroke, chronic liver disease, treatment, uric acid (UA), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), and pneumonia that were found to be independently associated with 30-day readmission. The nomogram showed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.88 in the training set and 0.84 in the validation set. Calibration curves exhibited good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes. Decision curve analysis demonstrated clinical utility. CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated a nomogram incorporating eight clinical variables to accurately predict the individualized risk of 30-day readmission after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients. The model demonstrated favorable discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. It can help to identify high-risk patients needing additional interventions to prevent avoidable hospital readmissions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to develop and validate a risk nomogram for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in geriatric patients with hip fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 900 geriatric patients who underwent hip fracture surgery at Dandong Central Hospital between June 2017 and June 2023 were systematically collected. The cohort was randomly divided into a training set (70%, n=632) and a validation set (30%, n=268) for model development and validation, respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the independent risk factors associated with UTIs. Based on the results of the multivariate analysis, a UTI nomogram prediction model was developed and evaluated in the training and validation sets using the C-index, ROC curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis to assess discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility, respectively. RESULTS Out of the 900 participants, 24.6% were diagnosed with UTIs. The nomogram was developed based on 9 predictors that were found to be independently associated with UTI. The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting UTI in geriatric patients with hip fractures was 0.829 in the training set and 0.803 in the validation set. Following internal verification, the modified C-index remained at 0.829. Furthermore, the nomogram's calibration plot and decision curve analysis demonstrated good performance in both the training and validation sets. CONCLUSIONS The established and validated nomogram provides a reliable and convenient tool for predicting UTI risk in geriatric patients with hip fractures. This model facilitates the early identification of high-risk patients and offers guidance for implementing targeted preventive interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop and validate a risk nomogram for preoperative proximal and distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in geriatric patients with hip fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS The 970 collected geriatric hip fracture patients were randomly divided into a training set (70%, n=682) and a validation set (30%, n=288). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to optimize the predictive risk variables for proximal and distal preoperative lower extremity DVT in the training set, respectively, and the selected variables were finally incorporated to establish preoperative DVT nomogram prediction models. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were performed to validate the nomograms in the training and validation sets, respectively. RESULTS Among the 970 patients, 125 (12.88%) were diagnosed with preoperative DVT. The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting preoperative proximal DVT was 0.888 in the training and 0.792 in the validation sets. The AUC for predicting preoperative distal DVT was 0.907 in the training and 0.790 in the validation sets. The calibration plots and decision curve analysis for preoperative proximal DVT performed well in the training set and slightly worse in the validation set. The calibration plots and decision curve analysis for preoperative distal DVT performed well in both the training and validation sets. CONCLUSIONS To construct nomograms for predicting the risk of proximal and distal preoperative lower extremity DVT in geriatric hip fracture patients. For patients at high risk, as assessed by this model, clinicians should intervene and treat them promptly before surgery.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) have been recognized as prominent anthropogenic pollutants that inflict significant harm to marine ecosystems. Various approaches have been proposed to mitigate the risks posed by MPs. Gaining an understanding of the morphology of plastic particles can provide valuable insights into the source and their interaction with marine organisms, which can assist the development of response measures. In this study, we present an automated technique for identifying MPs through segmentation of MPs in microscopic images using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) based on a shape classification nomenclature framework. We used MP images from diverse samples to train a Mask Region Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN) based model for classification. Erosion and dilation operations were added to the model to improve segmentation results. On the testing dataset, the mean F1-score (F1) of segmentation and shape classification was 0.7601 and 0.617, respectively. These results demonstrate the potential of proposed method for the automatic segmentation and shape classification of MPs. Furthermore, by adopting a specific nomenclature, our approach represents a practical step towards the global standardization of MPs categorization criteria. This work also identifies future research directions to improve accuracy and further explore the possibilities of using DCNN for MPs identification.

Abstract
Diet is an important exposure route of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), but many unfiltered potential EDCs remain in food. The in silico prediction of EDCs is a popular method for preliminary screening. Potential EDCs in food were screened using Endocrine Disruptome, an open-source platform for inverse docking, to predict the binding probabilities of 587 food chemical contaminants with 18 human nuclear hormone receptor (NHR) conformations. In total, 25 contaminants were bound to multiple NHRs such as oestrogen receptor α/β and androgen receptor. These 25 compounds mainly include pesticides and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). The prediction results were validated with the in vitro data. The structural features and the crucial amino acid residues of the four NHRs were also validated based on previous literature. The findings indicate that the screening has good prediction efficiency. In addition, the epidemic evidence about endocrine interference of PFASs in food on children was further validated through this screening. This study provides preliminary screening results for EDCs in food and a priority list for in vitro and in vivo research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze healthcare resource utilization and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) in Black and White patients with preeclampsia diagnosis versus signs/symptoms. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study analyzing data from the IBM® Explorys Database between 7/31/2012-12/31/2020. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were extracted. Healthcare utilization and SMM were analyzed during the antepartum period (20 weeks of gestation until delivery) among Black and White patients with signs/symptoms of preeclampsia, with a diagnosis of preeclampsia, or neither (control). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Healthcare utilization and SMM in those with a preeclampsia diagnosis or signs/symptoms of preeclampsia only were compared with a control group (White patients with no preeclampsia diagnosis or signs/symptoms). RESULTS Data from 38,190 Black and 248,568 White patients were analyzed. Patients with preeclampsia diagnosis or signs/symptoms were more likely to visit the emergency room compared to those without diagnosis or signs/symptoms. Black patients with signs/symptoms of preeclampsia had the highest elevated risk (odds ratio [OR] = 3.4), followed by Black patients with a preeclampsia diagnosis (OR = 3.2), White patients with signs/symptoms (OR = 2.2), and White patients with a preeclampsia diagnosis (OR = 1.8). More Black patients experienced SMM (SMM rate 6.1% [Black with preeclampsia diagnosis] and 2.6% [Black with signs/symptoms]) than White patients (5.0% [White with preeclampsia diagnosis] and 2.0% [White with signs/symptoms]). SMM rates were higher for Black preeclampsia patients with severe features than for White preeclampsia patients with severe features (8.9% vs 7.3%). CONCLUSIONS Compared with White patients, Black patients had higher rates of antepartum emergency care and antepartum SMM.

Abstract
The propagation and energy coupling of intense laser beams in plasmas are critical issues in inertial confinement fusion. Applying magnetic fields to such a setup has been shown to enhance fuel confinement and heating. Here we report on experimental measurements demonstrating improved transmission and increased smoothing of a high-power laser beam propagating in a magnetized underdense plasma. We also measure enhanced backscattering, which our kinetic simulations show is due to magnetic confinement of hot electrons, thus leading to reduced target preheating.

Abstract
In Bragg coherent diffractive imaging, the precise location of the measured crystals in the interior of the sample is usually missing. Obtaining this information would help the study of the spatially dependent behavior of particles in the bulk of inhomogeneous samples, such as extra-thick battery cathodes. This work presents an approach to determine the 3D position of particles by precisely aligning them at the instrument axis of rotation. In the test experiment reported here, with a 60 µm-thick LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 battery cathode, the particles were located with a precision of 20 µm in the out-of-plane direction, and the in-plane coordinates were determined with a precision of 1 µm.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hybutimibe monotherapy or in combination with atorvastatin in the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia. Methods: This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-controlled phase Ⅲ clinical trial of patients with untreated primary hypercholesterolemia from 41 centers in China between August 2015 and April 2019. Patients were randomly assigned, at a ratio of 1∶1∶1∶1∶1∶1, to the atorvastatin 10 mg group (group A), hybutimibe 20 mg group (group B), hybutimibe 20 mg plus atorvastatin 10 mg group (group C), hybutimibe 10 mg group (group D), hybutimibe 10 mg plus atorvastatin 10 mg group (group E), and placebo group (group F). After a dietary run-in period for at least 4 weeks, all patients were administered orally once a day according to their groups. The treatment period was 12 weeks after the first dose of the study drug, and efficacy and safety were evaluated at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12. After the treatment period, patients voluntarily entered the long-term safety evaluation period and continued the assigned treatment (those in group F were randomly assigned to group B or D), with 40 weeks' observation. The primary endpoint was the percent change in low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from baseline at week 12. Secondary endpoints included the percent changes in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), apolipoprotein B (Apo B) at week 12 and changes of the four above-mentioned lipid indicators at weeks 18, 24, 38, and 52. Safety was evaluated during the whole treatment period. Results: Totally, 727 patients were included in the treatment period with a mean age of (55.0±9.3) years old, including 253 males. No statistical differences were observed among the groups in demographics, comorbidities, and baseline blood lipid levels. At week 12, the percent changes in LDL-C were significantly different among groups A to F (all P<0.01). Compared to atorvastatin alone, hybutimibe combined with atorvastatin could further improve LDL-C, TG, and Apo B (all P<0.05). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in percent changes in LDL-C at week 12 between group C and group E (P=0.991 7). During the long-term evaluation period, there were intergroup statistical differences in changes of LDL-C, TG and Apo B at 18, 24, 38, and 52 weeks from baseline among the statins group (group A), hybutimibe group (groups B, D, and F), and combination group (groups C and E) (all P<0.01), with the best effect observed in the combination group. The incidence of adverse events was 64.2% in the statins group, 61.7% in the hybutimibe group, and 71.0% in the combination group during the long-term evaluation period. No treatment-related serious adverse events or adverse events leading to death occurred during the 52-week study period. Conclusions: Hybutimibe combined with atorvastatin showed confirmatory efficacy in patients with untreated primary hypercholesterolemia, which could further enhance the efficacy on the basis of atorvastatin monotherapy, with a good overall safety profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glanders is a rare zoonotic disease caused by Burkholderia mallei. Humans can be infected by B. mallei, which causes cutaneous lymphadenitis and pneumonia, leading to sepsis and death in severe cases. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 60-year-old male who was diagnosed with glanders. The patient who had a history of diabetes presented with cough, expectoration, and fever. Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed B. mallei infection in the right upper lobe of the lung with mediastinal lymph node involvement and the lingual segment of the left lung. Moreover, the posterior basal segment of the lower lobe of both lungs had inflammation. Subsequently, B. mallei infection was confirmed by lymph node biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage multiplex PCR-based targeted gene sequencing. After meropenem treatment, the patient was discharged, and CT imaging showed reduced absorption of pulmonary inflammatory lesions. CONCLUSIONS Glanders is a rare disease that can cause skin infection, lymphadenitis, and pneumonia, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening. The diagnosis of this disease mainly relies on microbiological culture and pathological biopsy. Diagnosis is also facilitated by multiplex PCRbased targeted gene sequencing. Glanders is treated with cephalosporins, carbapenems, and other sensitive antibiotics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ginsenosides, phenolic compounds, and polysaccharides are the bioactive constituents of Panax ginseng Meyer. Compound K (CK) is a secondary ginsenoside with better bioavailability. It is also a promising anticancer agent. PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the effect of CK on prostate cancer (PCa) and its potential mechanisms. STUDY DESIGN The proliferation, migration and cell cycle of PCa cells after CK treatment were assessed in various PCa cell lines. Docetaxel was used as a positive control drug. Unlike other published studies, the potential mechanisms of CK (50 μM) were investigated by an unbiased global transcriptome sequencing in the current study. METHODS Key CK related genes (CRGs) with prognostic significance were identified and verified by bioinformatic methods using data from the TCGA dataset and GSE21034 dataset. The role of CDK1 in the effect of CK treatment on PCa cells was investigated by overexpression of CDK1. RESULTS CK inhibited the proliferation and migration of PCa cells at concentrations (less than 25 μM) without obvious cytotoxicity. Five key CRGs with prognostic significance were identified, including CCNA2, CCNB2, CCNE2, CDK1, and PKMYT1, which are involved in cell cycle pathways. CK inhibited the expression of these 5 genes and the cell cycle of PCa cells. According to the results of bioinformatic analysis, the expression of the five key CRGs was strongly associated with poor prognosis and advanced pathological stage and grade of PCa. In addition, CK could restore androgen sensitivity in castration-resistant PCa cells, probably by inhibiting the expression of CDK1. After CDK1 overexpression, the inhibition of proliferation and migration of PCa cells by CK was decreased. The inhibition on the phosphorylation of AKT by CK was also reduced. CONCLUSION CK can inhibit PCa cells, and the mechanisms may be associated with the inhibition of cell cycle pathways through CDK1. CK is also a potential clinical anticancer agent for treating PCa.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of pancreatic pseudocyst after pegaspargase treatment in children. Methods: The clinical data of 6 children with pancreatic pseudocyst after pegaspargase treatment in the Department of Pediatrics in Peking University Third Hospital from July 2018 to February 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: There were 4 males and 2 females, and their age of onset was 9.5 (5.8, 13.0) years. The total number of pegaspargase applications was 2.5 (2.0, 3.5) times. The course from the last dose of pegaspargase to the onset of pancreatitis was 11.0 (9.0, 17.2) days, and 42.5 (35.0, 129.5) days from the onset of pancreatitis to the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst. Abdominal pain was the most prominent manifestation of pancreatitis (6/6). All of the 6 children were asymptomatic when pancreatic pseudocyst was noted, and were treated conservatively at first, but one case later developed intermittent abdominal distension or nausea after eating. All the cases had pancreatic pseudocyst enlargement during the conservative treatment. Three children were treated with endoscopic ultrasound-guided transgastric drainage, and the cyst disappeared from 10 days to 4 months after the operation. The other 3 children received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-guided transpapillary drainage, but one of them turned to surgery due to pancreatic duct stricture, and in the rest 2 children the cyst disappeared at 1 and 3 months after operation respectively. Regarding safety issues, 1 child who received ERCP-guided transpapillary drainage had acute postoperative pancreatitis, which were improved after treatment, and the other 5 had no complications. Conclusions: Pancreatic pseudocyst after pegaspargase chemotherapy can be asymptomatic in the early stage, and should be diagnosed with a history of pegaspargase treatment and timely imaging examination. Conservative treatment is the first choice for asymptomatic pseudocyst. When the pseudocyst enlarges, different endoscopic drainage treatments are required according to whether the pseudocyst is connected with the main pancreatic duct.

Abstract
Fetal surgery is regarded as a technically difficult and new field of research, requiring the use of fetoscopic and ultrasound (US) navigation to perform minimally invasive procedures within the amniotic cavity. The Surgical Apprenticeship Training model (SAT) centres around the subjective assessment of a surgical resident's cognitive competency and technical skills under proctorship using opportunity-based environments. The restrictiveness and rarity of fetal procedures limit the effectiveness of the SAT model, resulting in a slow learning curve (LC) and higher procedural complication rates. This paper aimed to investigate the use of optical tracking technology to construct a novel simulated training system and accompanying scoring assessment under the Proficiency-Based Training model (PBT), providing real-time positional feedback of surgical tools and a quantitative feedback assessment of a surgical resident's technical skills. Clinical Relevance- Clinical feedback deemed the system as valid and confirmed that this novel approach to surgical training will significantly benefit smaller clinics that lack opportunity-based environments. Clinical feedback also suggested that the training system could be adapted to provide access to complex surgical training across the world.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate whether underdilated stent could reduce the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation. Methods: A total of 197 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, who had underwent TIPS creation at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, were analyzed retrospectively, including 110 males and 87 females with age 25-79 (54±11) years old. Uncovered and covered stents with 8 mm diameter were implanted in all subjects, and then dilated by balloon catheters with 6 mm or 8 mm diameter. The patients were divided into two groups, including underdilated group (6 mm, n=105) and control group (8 mm, n=92).Kaplan-Meier curves were used to illustrate cumulative rate of HE, and the differences were assessed with the log-rank test. Multivariate analyses with a Cox regression model were conducted to explore the risk factors for HE. Results: During a median follow-up period of 29 (12-54) months, 16 (15.2%) patients developed HE in the underdilated group and 27 (29.3%) patients in the control group. There was a significant difference in the cumulative rate of HE (P=0.014), but no statistical differences were found in terms of variceal rebleeding, shunt dysfunction and survival between the two groups (P=0.608, P=0.659, P=0.968). In multivariated analysis, group assignment (underdilated vs. control, HR=0.291, 95%CI 0.125-0.674, P=0.004) was identified as an independent risk factor for HE after TIPS creation. Conclusion: Underdilated TIPS could reduced the risk of HE compared with completely dilated TIPS, with comparable risk of variceal rebleeding, shunt dysfunction and mortality. And it is worthy of applying this technique to a large sample of patients in clinical practice.

Abstract
In this study, we determined the spatial variations and potential risks of heavy metals in the sediments of Yueqing Bay by assessing the relationship between metal concentrations and sediment physiochemical factors. We found higher sediment metal concentrations in the inner bay than in the central and outer bay, particularly with respect to Hg, Cu, and Pb concentrations. According to the sediment quality guidelines, the heavy metals had a toxicity incidence probability of 21%. Assessments of heavy metal contamination using the geo-accumulation index and potential ecological risk index suggest that Cr, As, Pb, and Hg likely pose low ecological risks, while Cu, Zn, and Cd were identified as priority pollutants and may pose moderate ecological risks to the ecosystem. Multivariate statistical analysis inferred the high influence of sediment texture, total organic carbon (TOC), and petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) on the distribution and fate of metals in sediment.

Abstract
Cinnamomum camphora chvar. Borneol essential oil (BEO) was efficiently extracted by using pilot-plant neutral cellulase-assisted steam distillation (NCSD). Borneol, β-cadinene and α-caryophyllene were identified as major components. Bacillus subtilis was the most sensitive bacteria to BEO with the lowest minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericial concentration (MBC) at 1·75 and 3·50 mg ml-1 , respectively. Antimicrobial activity of the BEO was also reasonably high against Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, but not sensitive against two fungi, i.e. Aspergillus niger and Penicillium aurantiogriseum. Changes in permeability and integrity of cell membrane, damage of cell wall and further leakage out of metabolites and ions were determined as bactericidal mechanisms of BEO against the two gram-positive bacteria. The BEO showed a reasonably high repelling activity of dust mite, which achieved higher than 95% repelling dust mite activity after the treatment of BEO solution at 0·50 mg ml-1 . When the concentration of BEO was higher than 0·50 mg ml-1 , it was B-grade miticide with miticidal activity higher than 95%. Miticidal procedures were characterized as excitation, contraction, relaxation and lastly leading to the death of dust mite. It is speculated that the BEO would cause dehydration and death of dust mite as neuromuscular toxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the pre-operative risk factors for post-operative urosepsis following mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) in patients with large kidney stones. Methods:Records of 171 patients with large (≥30mm) kidney stones who underwent mPCNL from December 2013 to October 2019 were reviewed. Demographic data of patients, pre-operative urine analysis, urine culture, routine blood tests and abdominal computerized cosmography data were collected and analyzed. A predictive nomogram model was established based on the results of logistic regression. RESULTS 29 patients (17%) developed post-operative urosepsis in this study. Univariate analysis demonstrated that preoperative urine leukocytes (P <0.001), urine nitrite (P <0.001), stones in adjacent calices on the coronal plane (P <0.001), the maximum cross-sectional area of stones (P <0.001), the diameter of hydronephrosis (P =0.010) and number of stones (P=0.044) were associated with post-operative urosepsis after mPCNL in patients with large kidney stones. And pre-operative urine leukocytes ≥450/ µl (P=0.002) was the only independent risk factor for post-operative urosepsis in multivariate logistic regression analysis. Based on the results of multivariate regression, a nomogram model was established for the prediction of post-operative urosepsis with ideal discrimination (area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.867). CONCLUSION Patients with certain pre-operative characteristics, including higher urine leukocytes, positive urine nitrite, stones in adjacent calices on the coronal plane, larger maximum cross-sectional area of stones, larger diameter of hydronephrosis and larger number of stones, who received mPCNL may have a higher risk of postoperative urosepsis. A predictive model can help urologists identify patients who may develop post-operative urosepsis with high probability.

Abstract
CD46 is well known to be involved in diverse biological processes. Although several splice variants of CD46 have been identified, little is known about the contribution of alternative splicing to its tumorigenic functions. In this study, we found that exclusion of CD46 exon 13 is significantly increased in bladder cancer (BCa) samples. In BCa cell lines, enforced expression of CD46-CYT2 (exon 13-skipping isoform) promoted, and CD46-CYT1 (exon 13-containing isoform) attenuated, cell growth, migration, and tumorigenicity in a xenograft model. We also applied interaction proteomics to identify exhaustively the complexes containing the CYT1 or CYT2 domain in EJ-1 cells. 320 proteins were identified that interact with the CYT1 and/or CYT2 domain, and most of them are new interactors. Using an internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-dependent reporter system, we established that CD46 could regulate mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation machinery. We also identified heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP)A1 as a novel CYT2 binding partner, and this interaction facilitates the interaction of hnRNPA1 with IRES RNA to promote IRES-dependent translation of HIF1a and c-Myc. Strikingly, the splicing factor SRSF1 is highly correlated with CD46 exon 13 exclusion in clinical BCa samples. Taken together, our findings contribute to understanding the role of CD46 in BCa development.

Abstract
Background PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy are widely used in clinical practice. However, the ideal combined timing of them has not been fully explored. Methods In this study, simulation experiments to explore the impacts of the combination of anti-PD-1 antibody (anti-PD-1 Ab) on the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were performed. In addition, the effects of the combined timing of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and chemotherapy on efficacy and safety were retrospectively analysed in patients with refractory lung cancer. Results Experiments in vitro showed that administering the anti-PD-1 Ab 3 days after chemotherapy (represented by dicycloplatin) resulted in significantly weaker cytotoxic effects on lymphocytes, compared with administering the anti-PD-1 Ab before or concurrent with chemotherapy. Moreover, data from 64 lung cancer patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy as a second- or higher-line therapy were retrospectively analysed. The results showed that administering PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors 1-10 days (especially 3-5 days) after chemotherapy was associated with longer overall survival [17.3 months versus 12.7 months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28-1.19, P = 0.137 in univariate analysis; HR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.16-0.80, P = 0.012 in multivariate analysis] and a trend of improved progression-free survival (5.1 months versus 4.2 months; HR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.42-1.54, P = 0.512) compared with administering PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors before or concurrent with chemotherapy. Conclusion Our findings suggest that administering PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors 1-10 days (especially 3-5 days) after chemotherapy is superior to administering PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors before or concurrent with chemotherapy in patients with refractory lung cancer, but this result needs to be further explored by prospective studies. The cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs were positively correlated with the activation states of PBMCs. Administering the anti-PD-1 Ab 3 days after chemotherapy resulted in weaker cytotoxic effects on lymphocytes in vitro. Administering PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors a few days after chemotherapy resulted in better survival in lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Increased hypoxia‐inducible factor 2α (HIF2α) activation is a common event in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) progression. However, the function and underlying mechanism of HIF2α in ccRCC remains uninvestigated. We conducted this study to access the potential link between junction plakoglobin (JUP) and HIF2α in ccRCC. Methods Affinity purification and mass spectrometry (AP‐MS) screening, glutathione‐s‐transferase (GST) pull‐down and co‐immunoprecipitation (Co‐IP) assays were performed to detect the interacting proteins of HIF2α. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of JUP in human ccRCC samples. Luciferase reporter assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), cycloheximide chase assays, and ubiquitination assays were conducted to explore the regulation of JUP on the activity of HIF2α. Cell Counting Kit‐8 (CCK‐8) assays, colony formation assays, transwell assays, and xenograft tumor assays were performed to investigate the effect of JUP knockdown or overexpression on the tumorigenicity of renal cancer cells. Results We identified JUP as a novel HIF2α‐binding partner and revealed an important role of JUP in recruiting von Hippel‐Lindau (VHL) and histone deacetylases 1/2 (HDAC1/2) to HIF2α to regulate its stability and transactivation. JUP knockdown promoted and overexpression suppressed the tumorigenicity of renal cell carcinoma in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, the low expression of JUP was found in clinical ccRCC samples and correlated with enhanced hypoxia scores and poor treatment outcomes. Conclusion Taken together, these data support a role of JUP in modulating HIF2α signaling during ccRCC progression and identify JUP as a potential therapeutic target.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and long-term outcomes of free and pedicled, expanded deltopectoral flaps with perforation of the internal thoracic artery to repair facial scars. This retrospective review was of 37 patients who presented between June 2013 and June 2019 with various types of facial scar. Ten patients received a free expanded deltopectoral flap and 27 a pedicled, expanded deltopectoral flap. During the stage-one operation, the expander was implanted into the deltopectoral area and fully expanded by normal saline injection. In stage two, the facial lesions were incised, and the free or pedicled flap transferred to reconstruct the defect. Flap necrosis did not occur in the 10 patients treated with free flaps. Two patients need to have the pedicle trimmed three months after surgery because it had become bloated. Distal necrosis occurred in five of 27 patients who received a pedicled, expanded deltopectoral flap. Healing by conservative treatment was noted in two cases and healing after skin grafting was documented in the other three. All 37 patients achieved satisfactory results. A pedicled, expanded deltopectoral flap appears to be a reliable and safe option for the treatment of facial scars.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation on the expression of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 in mice with ulcerative colitis(UC). Methods: Healthy and clean KM mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into transplantation group, model group and normal control group with 15 mice in each group. In the transplantation group and model group, dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) was used to establish the model for 24 h. The mice in the transplantation group were injected with 0.4 ml of 4 ', 6-diaminol-2-phenylindole (DAPI) -labeled P3-BM-MNCs cell suspension (3.2×10(6) cells/ml), and the mice in the model group and the normal control group were injected with 0.4 ml phosphate buffer (PBS).UC disease activity index (DAI) was used to test the general condition of mice; HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of colon tissue; Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 mRNA. Results: DAI scores of normal control group, model group and transplantation group were 0 (0,1), 3.1 (2.8,3.3) and 2.7 (2.4,3.1),respectively. Compared with normal control group, the DAI score of model group and transplantation group was higher (P<0.05), and the DAI score of transplantation group was lower than that of model group (P<0.05). The gross scores of tissue injury in normal control group, model group and transplantation group were 0 (0, 1), 3 (3, 4) and 1 (1, 2), respectively,and the pathological scores of tissue injury were 0 (0, 1), 16 (12, 16) and 6 (6, 8), respectively,compared with the normal control group. The tissue injury score of the model group and the transplantation group was higher (P<0.05), and the tissue injury score of the transplantation group was lower than that of the model group (P<0.05). The expression levels of miRNA-21 mRNA in normal control group, model group and transplantation group were 0.87±0.15, 2.38±0.29 and 1.59±0.32, respectively, and the expression levels of miRNA-155 mRNA were 1.87±0.46, 7.38±1.97 and 3.92±0.84, respectively, compared with the normal control group, the expression of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 mRNA in the model group and transplantation group was higher (P<0.01), the expression of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 mRNA in the transplantation group was lower than that of the model group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation can improve the histopathological and DAI scores of mice with UC, which may be related to the down-regulation of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 mRNA expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore whether 22-oxacalcitriol could protect inflammatory response induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in rats, and to investigate its underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS 24 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into the sham group, the IRI group and the 22-oxacalcitriol group, with 8 rats in each group. Serum and heart samples of each rat were collected 10 days after the animal procedure. The serum levels of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in each rat were detected by relative commercial kits. Pathological lesions in rat myocardium were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rat heart was accessed by TUNEL staining. Meanwhile, the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and KC-GRO were detected by Real Time-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). Also, the protein expression levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and MCP-1 in rat myocardium were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The serum levels of CK-MB and LDH in rats of the IRI group were significantly higher than those of the sham group. 22-oxacalcitriol treatment remarkably decreased the serum levels of CK-MB and LDH when compared with the IRI group. However, cardiomyocyte apoptosis of the 22-oxacalcitriol group was markedly less than the IRI group. The activities of SOD, GSH, CAT and T-AOC in the cardiac homogenate of the 22-oxacalcitriol group were significantly elevated than those of the IRI group. Meanwhile, malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were remarkably decreased by 22-oxacalcitriol treatment. Furthermore, the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and KC-GRO were significantly downregulated in the 22-oxacalcitriol group. Western blot results showed that the protein expression levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in the 22-oxacalcitriol group were significantly lower than those of the IRI group. CONCLUSIONS 22-oxacalcitriol inhibits the inflammatory response in the myocardium by suppressing NF-kB/TNF-α pathway, thereby protecting myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Abstract
The DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) is involved in early embryonic development, as well as in multiple conditions, including cardiac fibrosis, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. But, function of OGG1 in pulmonary fibrosis was not entirely clear. In this study, we identified a novel function of OGG1 in the cell transformation process in pulmonary fibrosis. We demonstrated that OGG1 and Smad7 co-localize and interact in A549 cells. Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis was established in wild-type (WT) and Ogg1-/- mice. Upon treatment with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, increased OGG1 expression was observed in WT mice with pulmonary fibrosis as well as in A549 cells, MRC-5 cells, and primary rat type II alveolar epithelial cells. The increased expression of OGG1 promoted cell migration, while OGG1 depletion decreased migration ability. Expression of the transformation-associated markers vimentin and alpha-smooth muscle actin were also affected by OGG1. We also observed that OGG1 promoted TGF-β1-induced cell transformation and activated Smad2/3 by interacting with Smad7. The interaction between OGG1 and the TGF-β/Smad axis modulates the cell transformation process in lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Moreover, we demonstrated that Ogg1 deficiency relieved pulmonary fibrosis in bleomycin-treated mice. Ogg1 knockout decreased the bleomycin-induced expression of Smad7 and phosphorylation of Smad2/3 in mice. These findings suggest that OGG1 has multiple biological functions in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
The specific expression profile and function of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in mammalian ovarian follicles, especially during the atresia process, are unclear. In this study, genome-wide deep circRNA sequencing was applied to screen circRNAs in healthy and early atretic antral follicles in pig ovaries. A total of 40,567 distinct circRNAs were identified in follicles, among which 197 circRNAs (108 upregulated and 89 downregulated) were significantly shifted during the early atresia process. Most differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) lacked protein-coding potential. Annotation analysis of the DECs revealed 162 known host genes, or noncoding RNAs, and 10 intergenic regions. The key pathways in which these host genes are involved include the focal adhesion-PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA)-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 signaling pathway and transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway. Further comparison analysis between host genes of DECs and the differentially expressed linear messenger RNA transcripts revealed the cotranscription of circRNAs and their linear mRNAs in inhibin beta units (INHBA and INHBB), glutathione S-transferase (GSTA1), and VEGFA. In addition, we predicted 196 pairs of potential circRNA-micro RNA (miRNA) interactions among 77 DECs and 101 porcine miRNAs. We have identified 16 functional miRNAs by comparing the 101 miRNAs to the functional miRNAs reported in mammal ovarian follicle atresia and granulosa cell apoptosis studies. Our study adds new knowledge to circRNA distribution profiles in pig ovarian follicles, offers a valuable reference for transcriptomic profiles in the initiation of follicular atresia, highlights warranted circRNAs for further functional investigation, and provides possible biomarkers for ovarian dysfunctions.

Abstract
Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models were developed for predicting the pungency of a set of capsaicinoids. Multiple linear regression (MLR) coupled with topological substructural molecular descriptor (TOPS-MODE) approach was used. The best MLR model based on only five orthogonalized TOPS-MODE variables allowed us to obtain a coefficient of determination of 0.954 on the training set. The predictive power of the model was validated through a test set and several external validation parameters. This showed that the TOPS-MODE descriptors weighted by bond dipole moments, van der Waals atomic radii, and the total solute hydrogen bond basicity affected pungency. The contributions of certain bonds and fragments to pungency were used to understand the pungency mechanism of capsaicinoids. The selected model can more accurately predict pungency of capsaicinoids compared than those found in the literature, and especially bring insights into the structural features and chemical factors related to pungency.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of low-dose Ruxolitinib in the treatment of patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and refractory to the first-line and/or second-line drugs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: The clinical data was retrospectively analyzed of patients diagnosed with cGVHD in Anhui Provincial Hospital from July 9, 2018 to May 23, 2019. They were refractory to first-line and second-line drugs and were given a low-dose of Ruxolitinib (a dose of 5 mg twice daily if body weight ≥ 25 kg and 2.5 mg twice daily if body weight<25 kg). There was 2.5 mg reduction per week or every two weeks if the condition improved until withdrawal. The efficacy and safety of Ruxolitinib were retrospectively analyzed weekly or biweekly. If the condition improved, the dosage would be reduced by 2.5 mg weekly or biweekly until discontinuance. Results: A total of 47 patients were included in the study,and the median time of taking Ruxolitinib was 55 (21-154) days. The median time of taking effect was 14(7-28) days. The overall response rate was 87.2% (41/47). The complete response rate was 63.8% (30/47) and the partial response rate was 23.4%(11/47). Among them, 13 cases were mild and the overall response rate was 100%(13/13). Twenty one cases were moderate and the overall response rate was 90.5%(19/21). Thirteen cases were severe and the overall response rate was 69.2%(9/13). The highest overall response rate of all organs the was 100% in the gastrointestinal tract (7/7), and it was 95.8%(23/24) for the skin, 83.3%(5/6) for the liver and 76.9%(10/13) for the lung. The highest rate of complete organ response was 95.8% for skin. Eight patients (17%) developed cytopenia, of which 2(4.2%) were with a decrease of 3-4 degree hemoglobin. Recrudescence of cytomegalovirus occurred in 3 patients (6.4%). After withdrawal of Ruxolitinib, 6 patients (12.7%) had recurrence of cGVHD. The median time to relapse was 35.5(7-90) days. All of their conditions were improved after addition of Ruxolitinib. The median time of response was 7(5-14) days. The median follow-up was 208(33-412) days. Three patients(6.4%) died, and all of them died of severe pulmonary infection. Three patients (6.4%) had relapse of primary disease. The 6-month overall survival rate was 95.7%. Conclusion: Low-dose Ruxolitinib has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of cGVHD.
