Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the capabilities of classification models based on hierarchical fusion framework of multi-classifier using a random projection strategy for differentiation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from small renal angiomyolipoma (< 4 cm) without visible fat (AMLwvf). METHODS We retrospectively collected the clinical data from 163 patients with pathologically proven small renal mass, including 118 with RCC and 45 with AMLwvf.Target region of interest (ROI) delineation was performed on an unenhanced phase (UP) CT image slice displaying the largest lesion area.The radiomics features were used to establish a hierarchical fusion method.On the projection-based level, the homogeneous classifiers were fused, and the fusion results were further fused at the classifier-based level to construct a multi-classifier fusion system based on random projection for differentiation of AMLwvf and RCC.The discriminative capability of this model was quantitatively evaluated using 5-fold cross validation and 4 evaluation indexes[specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and area under ROC curve (AUC)].We quantitatively compared this multi-classifier fusion framework against different classification models using a single classifier and several multi-classifier ensemble models. RESULTS When the projection number was set at 10, the proposed hierarchical fusion differentiation framework achieved the best results on all the evaluation measurements.At the optimal projection number of 10, the specificity, sensitivity, average accuracy and AUC of the multi-classifier ensemble classification system for differentiation between AMLwvf and RCC were 0.853, 0.693, 0.809 and 0.870, respectively. CONCLUSION The proposed model constructed based on a multi-classifier fusion system using random projection shows better performance to differentiate RCC from AMLwvf than the AMLwvf and RCC discrimination models based on a single classification algorithm and the currently available benchmark ensemble methods.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the changes in refractive status and prevalence of myopia in 6-to 14-year-old children at 2 time points in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province. Methods: In the current cohort study, the visual acuity and refractive status of primary and secondary school students aged 6 to 14 years were examined from June to August 2019 and reexamined from June to August 2020. A total of 30 412 subjects with examination data were enrolled, including 15 861 males (52.2%) and 14 551 females (47.8%), with an average age of (10.0±2.7) years. The participants underwent autorefraction without cycloplegia and a naked eye visual acuity test with a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart. Myopia was screened by the standard of equivalent spherical refraction less than -0.75 diopter (D). The categorical data were analyzed by the Chi-square or Fisher's exact test. Clopper-Pearson was used to estimate the 95% confidence intervals for the incidence of myopia. Results: After the 1-year interval, the change of equivalent spherical refraction was(-0.67±1.11) D and(-0.76±1.11) D, respectively, in male and female participants, and their visual acuity decreased by 0.11±0.19 and 0.12±0.21, respectively. There were significant inter-group differences in the annual change of spherical power in different age groups (χ²=276.23, P<0.001). The naked eye visual acuity reduction was greatest in the 10-year-old students. The incidence of myopia was 42.2% (95% confidence intervals of 41.47% to 42.93%) during the 1-year follow-up period. The incidence of myopia was highest at the age of 14 (52.0% in males and 54.2% in females) and lowest at the age of 6 (31.0% in males and 33.1% in females). Conclusions: The 1-year follow-up revealed an obvious myopic shift in the refractive status of school students in Zhuozhou, with their naked eye visual acuity decreased. The incidence of myopia was higher in females than that in males.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BCa) is one of the most lethal malignancies of female reproductive organs. Increasing evidence has revealed that miRNAs participate in both tumorigenesis and multi-drug resistance. MiR-512-3p, a small non-coding RNA (miRNA), was previously found to be upregulated in breast cancer cells. In this study, we first verified that miR-512-3p expression forced a significant reorganization of the tumor architecture, affecting important cellular processes involved in cell-cell contact, cell adhesion and cell motility. Accordingly, induction of miR-512-3p expression significantly enhanced chemosensitivity and decreased metastatic potential in BCa cells. Our study demonstrated that miR-512-3p directly targets the 3'UTR of Livin, thereby decreasing its expression in MCF-7 cells. MiR-512-3p overexpression significantly inhibited breast cancer cell growth and metastasis. Both miR-512-3p overexpression and Livin knockdown significantly increased the chemosensitivity of cancer cells. Epirubicin (EPB), gemcitabine (GCB) and docetaxel (TXT) had antitumor effects in vitro against human breast cancer cell lines, and miR-512-3p overexpression increased tumor sensitivity to these drugs. In addition, miR-512-3p overexpression significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Collectively, our data suggest that miR-512-3p is a significant regulator of tumorigenesis and drug resistance in breast cancer and provides evidence that miR-512-3p may represent a promising target for breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the function and role of innate lymphoid cells in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at different disease activity levels. Methods: From Nov 2017 to May 2018, 40 patients with SLE and 15 age-matched healthy non-immune-related diseases controls were enrolled from Anhui provincial hospital. According to the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI)-2K, the patients were divided into active group (n=20) and remission group (n=20). The frequency of ILCs, B cells, CD4+T and CD8+T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was detected by flow cytometry. The subsets of ILCs in each group were compared with the subsets of B cells and T cell respectively. The levels of IL-4, IL-33 and IFN-γ in each group were tested by ELISA. Result: Compared with the control group, ILC1 percentage was significantly increased in SLE active group [(22.33%±2.52%) vs (14.56%±1.28%), P=0.018 1]; ILC2 percentage was decreased significantly in both remission group [(19.67%±1.83%) vs (42.48%±3.46%), P<0.000 1] and active group [(8.67%±0.83%) vs (19.67%±1.83%), P<0.000 1]; ILC3 percentage was decreased significantly in active group [(5.72%±1.08%) vs (14.35%±2.40%), P=0.001 3]. SLEDAI score was negatively correlated with the percentage of ILC2 (P=0.023 9) in all patients. The percentage of ILCs in the remission group (P=0.046 2) and activity group (P=0.003 7) were both increased significantly. Moreover, the percentage of ILC2 in active group was negatively correlated with CD4+T cells (P=0.030 8), and the serum IgG was negatively correlated with ILC2% in all patients (P=0.013 8). Compared with control group or remission group, the levels of IFN-γ (F=10.91, P=0.000 1) and IL-4 (F=6.046, P=0.004 7) in active group were remarkable higher. However, IL-33 was significantly reduced in active group (F=6.645, P=0.002 7). The percentage of ILC2 (r=0.154 3, P=0.028 8) and ILC3 (r=0.313 6, P=0.001 1) in all patients with SLE were positively correlated with the level of IL-4. Conclusion: The percentage of ILCs is related to disease activity, and ILCs play a "double-edged" role in the pathogenesis of SLE. Its function and mechanism are worth further exploration.

Abstract
This retrospective study aims to compare differences in the medical costs between inpatients infected/colonised with carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) and carbapenem-susceptible (CSAB) Acinetobacter baumannii in a hospital in Zhejiang province, China. Because the patient population was large, we randomly selected 60% of all inpatients with clinical specimens between 2013 and 2015. We classified the A. baumannii cases as CRAB or CSAB based on antibiotic susceptibility testing. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify factors associated with the total medical cost (TMC). Those included in the study totalled 2980 inpatients, 71.3% of whom had CRAB infection/colonisation. Differences in the TMC between the CRAB and CSAB groups were lower by multivariate analyses than the differences obtained by univariate analyses. Carbapenem resistance was significantly associated with an approximately 1.5-fold increase in the TMC after accounting for confounding factors. Our study highlights the heavy financial burden imposed by A. baumannii and carbapenem resistance on the Chinese healthcare system.

Abstract
Deformable image registration (DIR) is a critical technic in adaptive radiotherapy (ART) to propagate contours between planning computerized tomography (CT) images and treatment CT/Cone-beam CT (CBCT) image to account for organ deformation for treatment re-planning. To validate the ability and accuracy of DIR algorithms in organ at risk (OAR) contours mapping, seven intensity-based DIR strategies are tested on the planning CT and weekly CBCT images from six Head & Neck cancer patients who underwent a 6 ∼ 7 weeks intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Three similarity metrics, i.e. the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), the percentage error (PE) and the Hausdorff distance (HD), are employed to measure the agreement between the propagated contours and the physician delineated ground truths. It is found that the performance of all the evaluated DIR algorithms declines as the treatment proceeds. No statistically significant performance difference is observed between different DIR algorithms (p> 0.05), except for the double force demons (DFD) which yields the worst result in terms of DSC and PE. For the metric HD, all the DIR algorithms behaved unsatisfactorily with no statistically significant performance difference (p= 0.273). These findings suggested that special care should be taken when utilizing the intensity-based DIR algorithms involved in this study to deform OAR contours between CT and CBCT, especially for those organs with low contrast.

Abstract
Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) inhibitors administered prior to or immediately after experimental stroke confer acute neuroprotection. However, it remains unclear if delayed treatment with a PTEN inhibitor improves long-term functional recovery after stroke. We addressed the issue in this study. Adult male mice were subjected to 1h of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed by treatment with a well-established PTEN inhibitor BPV or saline daily for 14 days, starting at 24h after MCAO. Functional recovery was assessed with behavioral tests and acute infarct volumes were analyzed histologically. Delayed BPV treatment did not reduce infarction during the acute phase, but significantly improved long-term functional recovery after MCAO. Since PTEN is a critical intrinsic inhibitory factor in axonal regeneration, we further examined BPV effects on axonal densities following MCAO using bielschowsky silver staining and immunohistochemistry with antibodies against myelin basic protein. Delayed BPV treatment significantly increased axon densities in the ischemic brain at 14 days after MCAO. Moreover, PTEN expression persistently remained high in the ischemic brain over 14 days after MCAO, and BPV treatment increased post-ischemic activation of Akt and mTOR in the ischemic brain. Akt and mTOR activation are the well-established cascades downstream to PTEN inhibition and have been shown to contribute to post-injury axonal regrowth in response to PTEN inhibition. Consistently, in an in vitro neuronal ischemia model, BPV enhanced axonal outgrowth of primary cortical neurons after oxygen-glucose deprivation and the enhancing effects were abolished by Akt/mTOR inhibition. In conclusion, delayed BPV treatment improved functional recovery from experimental stroke possibly via enhancing axonal growth and Akt/mTOR activation contributed to BPV-enhanced post-stroke axon growth.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and validate a robust CT to cone-beam (CBCT) deformable image registration algorithm that can handle CBCT artifacts and intensity inconsistency, and thus can yield accurate registration results. METHODS We propose a new algorithm called Deformation with Intensity Simultaneously Corrected (DISC). DISC distinguishes itself from the original demons by performing an intensity correction procedure on the CBCT image at every iteration step of demons registration. Specifically, the intensity correction of a voxel in CBCT is achieved by matching the first and the second moments of the image intensities inside a patch around this voxel with those on the CT image. It is expected that such a strategy can remove artifacts in the CBCT image, as well as ensuring the intensity consistency between the two modalities and hence facilitating the registration process. DISC is implemented on computer graphics processing units (GPUs) using the compute unified device architecture (CUDA) programming environment. The performance of DISC has been qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated on a simulated patient case and six head-and- neck cancer patient data. RESULTS Visual inspection shows that original demons distorts the tissues after registration, especially in regions which are heavily degraded by artifacts. DISC, on the other hand, can effectively register CT and CBCT image even in regions contaminated by severe artifacts. The intensity corrected CBCT that extracted from the last iteration of DISC is artifact-free and has similar histogram distribution with the deformed CT. CONCLUSIONS We have developed a robust CT to CBCT deformable image registration method that properly deals with the CBCT artifacts and intensity inconsistency, and thus yields accurate registration results. This work is supported in part by the University of California Lab Fees Research Program, the Master Research Agreement from Varian Medical Systems, Inc., and the grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No.30970866).

Abstract
To determine the relationship between serum progesterone on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) and the pregnancy outcome of IVF-embryo transfer treatment, 251 infertile patients undergoing IVF-embryo transfer with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) and recombinant FSH (rFSH) were prospectively studied. Among them, 118 patients underwent 118 cycles of frozen embryo transfer (FET) treatment, one cycle per patient. All the cycles were grouped according to serum progesterone concentration on the day of HCG administration (<3.97 nmol/l or >/=3.97 nmol/l). The incidence of progesterone elevation was 36.7% (92/251), and in this group the pregnancy rate was significantly lower (25.97 versus 48.57%; P < 0.001). If the serum progesterone on the day of HCG was over 6.0 nmol/l, their pregnancy outcome was much poorer (13.79 versus 44.68%). However, the pregnancy rate was similar in FET cycles whether the serum progesterone was over 3.97 nmol/l (34.00 versus 36.76%) or 6.0 nmol/l (42.86 versus 34.02%). In conclusion, serum progesterone on the day of HCG may predict IVF pregnancy outcome. The higher serum oestradiol and progesterone concentrations may affect endometrial receptivity. For patients with an extremely high progesterone concentration on the day of HCG (such as over 6.0 nmol/l), transfer of frozen embryos in a natural cycle is suggested.

Abstract
Previous work has demonstrated that in utero cocaine exposure induces an uncoupling of brain D(1A) dopamine receptors (D(1A)DARs) from G(s)-protein. The present work is an attempt to define the mechanism underlying the uncoupling. We detected a significant elevation of phosphoserine in frontal cortical D(1A)DARs of rabbits that were exposed prenatally to cocaine compared with saline controls. This increase in phosphorylation is observed at gestational day 22 and persists to postnatal day 20. The hyperphosphorylation of the D(1A)DAR is accompanied by a 45% inhibition in frontal cortex (FCX) protein phsphatase-1 (PP1) activity that appears to be mediated via DARPP-32 (dopamine and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein) as indicated by elevated FCX phospho-DARPP-32 (Thr(34)). Furthermore, we demonstrated in both FCX and in PC2 cells that express D(1A)DARs that PP1 is physically associated with D(1A)DARs. We also observed a dramatic decrease in D(1A)DAR-associated PP1 activity in FCX of prenatal cocaine-exposed rabbits, indicating that the reduction in PP1 activity may be responsible for the hyperphosphorylation of the receptor. Furthermore, pretreatment of cortical membranes obtained from cocaine-exposed animals with exogenous PP1 dephosphorylated the phosphorylated D(1A)DAR and significantly reversed the impaired receptor-G(alphas) coupling. This work indicates (1) that D(1A)DAR dephosphorylation via PP1 is essential for receptor resensitization or reactivation and (2) an alteration in the DARPP-32/PP1 cascade appears to be a primary event responsible for D(1A)DAR dysfunction in in utero cocaine-exposed rabbit progeny. The present finding of an altered DARPP-32/PP1 cascade in association with a dysfunction in D(1A)DAR signal transmission in the prenatal cocaine-exposed rabbit brain may implicate novel strategies for the prevention and treatment for in utero cocaine-induced developmental and behavioral abnormalities.

Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the role of D(4) dopamine receptors in regulating the Akt/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathways. The D(4) dopamine receptor agonist PD168077 induced time- and dose-dependent activation of Akt and ERK in D(4)MN9D cells that stably express D(4) dopamine receptors. Maximal Akt and ERK stimulation was achieved at 1 microM PD168077. The agonist-mediated stimulations of Akt and ERK were abolished when cells were preincubated with 50 ng/ml PTX or with 1 microM L745,870, a D(4) dopamine receptor antagonist, indicating that activation of the Akt or ERK pathways is mediated by D(4) dopamine receptors and require a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. We also detected a time- and dose-dependent activation of NF-kappa B. Activation of NF-kappa B by 1 microM PD168077 was attenuated in D(4)MN9D cells that were transfected with a kinase-deficient Akt but not in cells transfected with a dominant negative Ras (N17Ras), suggesting that NF-kappa B activation requires Akt but is independent of Ras. In contrast, the transfection of N17Ras into D(4)MN9D cells blunted D(4) dopamine receptor-mediated ERK activation, indicating a Ras-dependent mechanism. Moreover, PP2 (20 nM), an inhibitor of Src, blocked D(4) receptor-mediated SHC phosphorylation and ERK activation. In contrast, transfection of a kinase-dead Akt did not alter D(4) receptor-stimulated ERK. However, PP2 and the mitogen activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor PD98059 did not change D(4) receptor-mediated Akt/NF-kappa B activation. All these indicate that distinct mechanisms mediate ERK and Akt/NF-kappa B activation by D(4) dopamine receptor stimulation. We also demonstrated that D(4) receptor-stimulated cell proliferation is mediated by the Src/SHC/Ras/ERK pathway.
