Abstract
Leukocyte counts and ratios are independent biomarkers to determine the severity and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In AIS, the connection between leukocytes and large vessel occlusion (LVO) is uncertain. This study aims to determine the relationship between the existence of LVO and leukocyte counts and ratios on admission to AIS. Patients were retrospectively evaluated within six hours of AIS starting between January 2019 and April 2023. On admission, blood specimens were collected, and leukocyte subtype counts were promptly analyzed. Computed tomography or digital subtraction angiography were utilized to verify the existence of LVO. Regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were employed to investigate the connections between the counts and ratios of leukocytes and the existence of LVO, as well as the discriminatory ability of these variables in predicting LVO. Total white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil count, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were substantially higher in the LVO existence group compared to the LVO absence group, whereas the ratio of eosinophils to neutrophils (ENR × 102) was lower (P < .001, respectively). Significant associations were observed between total WBC counts, neutrophil counts, NLR, and ENR × 102 and the existence of LVO (P < .001, respectively). Total WBC counts, neutrophil counts, NLR, and ENR × 102 had respective areas under the curves (AUC) of 0.730, 0.748, 0.704, and 0.680 for identifying LVO. Our results show that in AIS patients, the existence of LVO is independently associated with elevated total WBC and neutrophil counts, high NLR, and low ENR × 102 levels. Neutrophil and total WBC counts, as well as NLR and levels of ENR × 102, may serve as potential biomarkers for predicting LVO. Neuroinflammation, based on the existence of LVO, should be given particular attention in future investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of patients with resectable mucosal melanoma is poor. Toripalimab combined with axitinib has shown impressive results in metastatic mucosal melanoma with an objective response rate of 48.3% and a median progression-free survival of 7.5 months in a phase Ib trial. It was hypothesized that this combination administered in the neoadjuvant setting might induce a pathologic response in resectable mucosal melanoma, so we conducted this trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS This single-arm phase II trial enrolled patients with resectable mucosal melanoma. Patients received toripalimab 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks (Q2W) plus axitinib 5 mg two times a day (b.i.d.) for 8 weeks as neoadjuvant therapy, then surgery and adjuvant toripalimab 3 mg/kg Q2W starting 2 ± 1weeks after surgery for 44 weeks. The primary endpoint was the pathologic response rate according to the International Neoadjuvant Melanoma Consortium recommendations. RESULTS Between August 2019 and October 2021, 29 patients were enrolled and received treatment, of whom 24 underwent resection. The median follow-up time was 34.2 months (95% confidence interval 20.4-48.0 months). The pathologic response rate was 33.3% (8/24; 4 pathological complete responses and 4 pathological partial responses). The median event-free survival for all patients was 11.1 months (95% confidence interval 5.3-16.9 months). The median overall survival was not reached. Neoadjuvant therapy was tolerable with 8 (27.5%) grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events and no treatment-related deaths. Tissue samples of 17 patients at baseline and after surgery were collected (5 responders and 12 nonresponders). Multiplex immunohistochemistry demonstrated a significant increase in CD3+ (P = 0.0032) and CD3+CD8+ (P = 0.0038) tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes after neoadjuvant therapy, particularly in pathological responders. CONCLUSIONS Neoadjuvant toripalimab combined with axitinib in resectable mucosal melanoma demonstrated a promising pathologic response rate with significantly increased infiltrating CD3+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells after therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with common cardiovascular diseases (CVD, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure) combined with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and explore the potential risk factors of MCI in patients with CVD. Methods: A total of 2 294 patients with common cardiovascular diseases who met the criteria at Cardiology Medical Center in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, from June 1, 2021, to January 5, 2022, were retrospectively included. The patients were divided into the normal cognitive function group (1 107 cases) and the MCI group (1 187 cases). Demographic information and CVD status were collected. The information of cognitive function were collected using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scales. The difference between normal cognitive function and MCI were compared and analyzed. The logistic regression analysis was used to explored risk factors of MCI in CVD patients. Results: A total of 2 294 patients aged (60.6±10.4) years were included, among whom there were 29.99% (688 cases) females. Compared with patients in the normal cognitive function group, patients in the MCI group were older [ (57.9±11.4) vs (63.1±8.9) years old, P<0.001], with a higher proportion of women [26.47% (293 cases) vs 33.28% (395 cases), P<0.001]; there was a higher proportion of patients suffering from hypertension in the MCI group [59.62% (660 cases) vs 64.62% (767 cases), P=0.014], and more components of CVD [(1.68±0.62) vs (1.74±0.65) components, P=0.017]. The risk factors of MCI in patients with common CVD were increased age, increased depression score, combined with hypertension, and ≥3 common components of CVD, with OR (95%CI) of 1.043 (1.032-1.054), 1.021 (1.004-1.037), 1.151 (1.142-3.439), and 1.137 (1.023-1.797), respectively (all P values <0.05). Increasing education level was observed to be associated with reduced risk of MCI with OR (95%CI) of 0.319 (0.271-0.378) (P<0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of MCI was high in CVD patients. The risk factors of MCI in CVD patients included hypertension and≥3 common components of CVD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify molecular subtypes of oxidative stress-related genes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and to construct a scoring model of oxidative stress-related genes. METHODS R language based scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq analyses were used to identify molecular isoforms of oxidative stress-related genes in HNSCC. An oxidative stress-related gene scoring (OSRS) model was constructed, which were verified through online data and immunohistochemical staining of clinical samples. RESULTS Using TCGA-HNSCC datasets, nine predictive genes for overall patient survival, rarely reported in previous similar studies, were screened. AREG and CES1 were identified as prognostic risk factors. CSTA, FDCSP, JCHAIN, IFFO2, PGLYRP4, SPOCK2 and SPINK6 were identified as prognostic factors. Collectively, all genes formed a prognostic risk signature model for oxidative stress in HNSCC, which were validated in GSE41613, GSE103322 and PRJEB23709 datasets. Immunohistochemical staining of SPINK6 in nasopharyngeal cancer samples validated the gene panel. Subsequent analysis indicated that subgroups of the oxidative stress prognostic signature played important roles during cellular communication, the immune microenvironment, the differential activation of transcription factors, oxidative stress and immunotherapeutic responses. CONCLUSIONS The risk model might predict HNSCC prognosis and immunotherapeutic responses.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) It is now widely accepted that radiotherapy, especially hypofractionated radiation therapy (HFRT) or stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT), can modulate tumor phenotypes, enhance antigen presentation and provoke a systemic immune response which gives a strong rationale for the combination of RT and immunotherapy (iRT). The PRaG therapy is an innovative iRT, when combined with HFRT/SBRT, PD-1/L1 inhibitor and GM-CSF to activate the immune response and modulate the tumor microenvironment to exert the desired in abscopal effect. Previous studies have demonstrated encouraging efficacy of the PRaG regimen in the treatment of advanced refractory tumors. RC48-ADC is a promising anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate with inducing immunogenic cell death and widespread release of cancer cell antigens, synergize with immunotherapy by promoting effector T-cell activation. The aim of this study is to explore efficacy and safety of RC48-ADC combined with radiotherapy, PD-1/L1 inhibitor sequential GM-CSF and IL-2(PRaG3.0 regimen) for treatment of HER2-expressing advanced solid tumors. MATERIALS/METHODS Participants with advanced, confirmed HER2-expressing (IHC3+, 2+ or 1+) solid tumors that had progressed after standard treatment, or intolerance were enrolled. In a PRaG3.0 regimen cycle, those received RC48-ADC (2.0 mg/kg d1, every 3 weeks), then HFRT (2-3 doses of 5-8 Gy) was delivered for one metastatic lesion every other day, followed by GM-CSF (200 μg d3-7), sequential IL-2(2million IU d8-12), and PD-1/L1 inhibitor was dosing within one week after completion of HFRT. After RC48-ADC combined with PD-1/L1 inhibitor sequential GM-CSF and IL-2 for at least 6 cycles, then maintenance with PD-1/L1 inhibitor was administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT05115500. RESULTS With the cutoff date of 31 December 2022, a total of 30 patients (n = 6 for gynecological cancer, n = 5 for pancreatic cancer, n = 19 for other cancers) were enrolled, in which 21 patients completed at least 1 tumor assessment. The objective response rate (ORR) was 42.9%, and the disease control rate was 71.4% by RECIST1.1. The ORR was 66.7% in gynecological cancer, 25.3% in pancreatic cancer, and 36.4% in other cancers. Median progression-free survival (PFS) for all patients was 7.0 months (95% CI: 3.4, 10.7). The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) included fatigue, fever, alopecia and anorexia. Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in two patients (6.7%). CONCLUSION These preliminary results show that of PRaG3.0 regimen has a manageable safety profile and encouraging antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients with HER2- expressing cancers. Ultimately the regimen achieved the accurate integration of RT, immunotherapy and targeted therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Immune microenvironment is closely related to the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors. The immune microenvironment contains a variety of immune cells, including effector T cells (cytotoxic CD8+T cells and effector CD4+T cells), dendritic cells (DC), and Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). The antitumor effects of PRaG therapy have been confirmed in bilateral subcutaneous transplantation tumor model of colon cancer. But the impact of PRaG therapy on immune microenvironment of such model is unclear. Therefore, the study continued to reveal the changes of immune microenvironment in mice. MATERIALS/METHODS 80 male Balb/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were divided into five groups: control group, PD-1 inhibitor group, radiation group, radiation + PD-1 inhibitor group, and radiation + PD-1 inhibitor +GM-CSF (PRaG therapy) group. Bilateral subcutaneous tumor model of colon cancer in mice was constructed. 3×105 CT26.WT cells were inoculated subcutaneously in the right thigh root, and then the left thigh root 3 days later. Right subcutaneous tumor was selected for radiotherapy of 8 Gy×3. GM-CSF (100ng, i.p.) was given on the 1st day and PD-1 inhibitor (0.25mg/kg, i.p.) was given on the 2nd day after radiotherapy with one cycle every 3 days. On day 15, the spleen, left inguinal lymph node and left subcutaneous tumor of mice were collected. The proportion of immune cells was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS Compared with other groups, PRaG therapy decreased the proportion of cDC1 in left inguinal lymph node, increased the proportion of cDC2 in left subcutaneous tumor and left inguinal lymph node. Moreover, PRaG therapy increased the proportion of CD8+ effector memory T cells and CD226+CD8+T cells in left inguinal lymph nodes. Finally, PRaG therapy increased the proportion of CD4+, CD8+ central memory T cells and CD69+CD8+T cells and reduced the proportion of M-MDSCs in spleen. CONCLUSION PRaG therapy can improve the immune microenvironment of spleen, unirradiated tumors and inguinal draining lymph nodes of bilateral subcutaneous tumor model of colon cancer in mice.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) With the success of immunotherapy in advanced esophageal cancer, neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy (CIT) is being increasingly used for local staged esophageal cancer, especially in the context of clinical trials, which brings similar pCR with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and shows promising results. However, there is still a part of potentially operable patients can't undergo surgery after neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. The follow-up treatment and prognosis of this population remain unclear. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients pathologically diagnosed with ESCC, clinical stage T1-3N+M0 or T3-4aNanyM0(AJCC 8th), PS 0-1 were retrospectively enrolled from 1/2020 to 6/2021 in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. All patients firstly received PD-1 inhibitors (Camrelizumab, Sintilimab or Tislelizumab) plus chemotherapy (albumin paclitaxel,260 mg/m²on day 1 plus carboplatin AUC = 5 on day 1) every 3 weeks for 2-4 cycles. For those patients who did not receive surgery, definitive radiotherapy with 50.4Gy/28F or 50Gy/25F was adopted using VMAT, concurrent with chemotherapy or alone. The concurrent chemotherapy regimens included weekly TC (paclitaxel 50 mg/m 2, d1, carboplatin AUC = 2, d1) or S1 (60mg bid d1-14,29-42). The survival outcomes and treatment toxicity were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 56 eligible patients were finally identified from 558 patients who were treated in department of thoracic surgery, 31 patients showed no response to neoadjuvant CIT (6 with PD and 25 with SD), 25 patients achieved PR but did not receive surgery due to poor performance status or refuse to operation. Median age was 66(IQR 56-72) and 55(98.2%) were males. 12(19.6%) were stage II and 44(80.4%) were stage III. Among all the patients,25 (44.6%) received radiotherapy alone, and 31 (55.4%) received chemoradiotherapy after neoadjuvant CIT. The median follow-up was 11.8 months (IQR 8.6-20.1). The median PFS and OS were 16.5 months (95CI 12.9-21.4) and 18.6 months (95CI 11.2-NA), respectively. In the subgroup analysis, the median PFS for patients with PR to CIT was 20.2 moths (95CI:17.23-NA), and 12.9 moths (95CI: 0.68-20.4) for patients with SD or PD, HR was 0.45 (95CI:0.22- 0.93, P = 0.027). No significant difference was observed for patients received radiotherapy alone or chemoradiotherapy with HR = 1.36(95CI:0.69-2.71, P = 0.37). The most common AEs observed during this study were anemia (98.2%), Leukopenia (83.9%), Thrombocytopenia (53.6%). Adverse events of grade≥3 radiation-induced pneumonitis and esophagitis were 12.5% and 32.1%, especially, 6 patients (10.7%) died from esophageal fistula and 2 patients (3.6%) died from grade 5 pneumonitis. CONCLUSION For local advanced ESCC patients after neoadjuvant CIT who did not receive surgery, definitive radiotherapy was an optional treatment strategy. However, those patients with no response to CIT also showed poor response to radiotherapy, and particular attention should be paid to treatment related toxicity, especially esophageal fistula.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to identify and evaluate the short-term and lag effects of environmental factors on asthma hospitalizations in different regions. STUDY DESIGN The ecological study on asthma is performed in three regions of Guangxi, China, that are distinctly different in geography and climate. METHODS We used distributed lag non-linear models to investigate the exposure-response-lag relationship between meteorological factors, air pollutants, and asthma hospital admissions across the three regions during 2015 (January 1 to December 31). RESULTS Cold was an important meteorological factor affecting asthma. At lag 0, the relative risk (RR; 23°C as reference) of cold in the Northwest, Northeast, and South was 1.10 (10°C), 1.14 (8°C), and 1.30 (11°C), respectively. NO2 was identified as the most important air pollutant affecting asthma. The RR of asthma hospitalization increased by 10.9% (at lag 4), 8.1% (at lag 0), and 4.2% (at lag 2) for every 10 μg/m3 increase in NO2 concentration in the Northwest, Northeast, and South, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In the three regions of Guangxi, there were differences in the dominant factors affecting asthma hospitalizations. Differences in geography can inform governments as to how to prepare the healthcare system to meet the expected peaks.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiotherapy could stimulate the immune response and might synergize with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the clinical treatment of malignancies. Our previous PRaG trial also demonstrated that SBRT/HFRT in combination with PD-1 inhibitors and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) could improve clinical response in patients with advanced refractory solid tumors (ChiCTR1900026175). To further improve the efficacy of immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy, we conducted the PRaG 2.0 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04892498) and optimized the PRaG regimen by adding interleukin-2 (IL-2). Preliminary results of PRaG 2.0 had been reported in the 64th ASTRO. Now we report an updated result. MATERIALS/METHODS The PRaG 2.0 regimen was administered to patients with advanced refractory solid tumors who lacked or were unable to tolerate standard-of-care treatments. A treatment cycle consisted of SBRT or HFRT (5 or 8 Gy×2-3f) delivered for one metastatic lesion, PD-1 inhibitor dosing within one week after completion of radiotherapy, GM-CSF 200μg subcutaneous (SC) injection once daily for 7 days, and then sequentially followed by IL-2 2million IU SC once daily for 7 days. PRaG 2.0 regimen was repeated every 21 days for at least 2 cycles until no appropriate lesions for irradiation or reached the tolerance dose of normal tissues. Patients who could not continue radiotherapy and had not yet developed progression disease (PD) allowed PD-1 inhibitors to be continued as maintenance therapy until PD or unacceptable toxicity but no more than one year. The primary endpoint was Progression-Free Survival (PFS). RESULTS As of 31st October 2022, 51 patients were enrolled in the study, and 42 completed at least one tumor assessment. The median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) was 5.8 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 13.5 months. The objective response rate (ORR) was 21.4%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 61.9% according to RECIST version 1.1. Lower plasma levels of Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-17 at baseline were found to be associated with improved PFS. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) occurred in 34 of 42 (78.6%) patients, Grade ≥ 3 TRAEs occurred in 4 patients (9.5%). TRAEs leading to discontinuation of all study treatments occurred in three patients (7.1%). CONCLUSION The PRaG 2.0 trial demonstrates that PD-1 inhibitors in combination with SBRT/HFRT, GM-CSF, and IL-2 could be a potential treatment regimen for patients with advanced refractory solid tumors, with an acceptable benefit/risk profile.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Immune cells in peripheral blood may be closely related to the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. T cells originally present in tumors may have limited antitumor effects, and T cells that respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors may be derived from peripheral blood. Therefore, in this study, subcutaneous tumor peritoneal metastasis model of colon cancer was constructed to reveal the changes of T cells and their subsets (CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, CD226+T cells), MDSCs and their subsets (G-MDSCs, M-MDSCs) in peripheral blood of mice after PRaG therapy. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 90 male Balb/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were divided into five groups: control group, PD-1 inhibitor group, radiation group, radiation + PD-1 inhibitor group, and radiation + PD-1 inhibitor +GM-CSF (PRaG therapy) group. The subcutaneous tumor peritoneal metastasis model of colon cancer was constructed. 3×105 CT26.WT cells was inoculated subcutaneously at the right thigh root, and 5 days later, 1×105 CT26.WT cells was inoculated on the left side at the junction of the anterior superior iliac spine and the midabdominal line. The subcutaneous tumor was selected for radiotherapy of 8 Gy×3. GM-CSF (100ng, i.p.) was given on the 1st day and PD-1 inhibitor (0.25mg/kg, i.p.) was given on the 2nd day after radiotherapy with one cycle every 3 days. On day 22, the peripheral blood of mice was collected. The proportion of immune cells was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS Compared with other groups, PRaG therapy decreased the proportion of CD4+T cells and increased the proportion of CD8+T cells. Moreover, PRaG therapy increased the proportion of CD226+CD4+T cells and CD226+CD8+T cells. Finally, PRaG therapy increased the proportion of M-MDSCs and decreased the proportion of G-MDSCs. CONCLUSION PRaG therapy can improve the immune microenvironment of peripheral blood of subcutaneous tumor peritoneal metastasis model of colon cancer in mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) has been linked to a worse clinical prognosis in patients with traumatic brain injury. We aimed to identify the risk factors and clinical features associated with basilar artery occlusion (BAO) presenting with PSH as the first clinical presentation. METHODS This study recruited patients with acute BAO who received endovascular therapy (EVT) at two stroke centers in China. PSH Assessment Measure ≥8 was included in the PSH+ group, while those with a score below 8 were classified as the PSH- group. Clinical data and radiological findings were compared between the two groups. A binary logistic regression model was employed to identify independent risk factors for PSH. RESULTS 101 participants were enrolled, of whom 19 (18.8%) presented with PSH as the initial manifestation of BAO. Worse prognosis (modified Rankin Scale score of 4-6) at day 90 occurred in 14 (73.7%) of the PSH+ patients and 42 (51.2%) of the PSH- patients (P=0.076). The 90-day mortality rate was higher in the PSH+ group with 12 (63.2%) participants, compared with 31 (37.8%) participants in the PSH- group (P=0.044). A significantly increased risk of PSH was found in patients with midbrain involvement (OR 6.53, 95% CI 1.56 to 27.30, P=0.01) and a high baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.31, P=0.037). CONCLUSIONS Patients with BAO presenting with PSH as the initial clinical manifestation experience a higher risk of 90-day mortality, despite undergoing EVT. Midbrain infarction and baseline NIHSS score may be significant risk factors for PSH following BAO.

Abstract
Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is treated by various therapies such as surgical intervention, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Currently, molecular targeted therapy, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) and Kirsten Rat Sarcoma viral Oncogene (KRAS) inhibitors, has received much attention and improved the prognosis of NSCLC. Nevertheless, the terminal point of molecular targeted drugs is resistance. Drug resistance has been classified into oligoprogression and extensive progression based on the tumor lesion progression after drug resistance. There is extensive research demonstrating that local therapy (surgical resection, radiotherapy, and thermal ablation) can prolong the survival of patients with drug resistance. This review is intended to determine the efficacy of image-guided thermal ablation in patients with NSCLC with EGFR mutation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of spontaneous brain activity in children with congenital cortical cataract amblyopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Twenty cases of unilateral congenital cortical cataract amblyopia (unilateral amblyopia group) and 14 cases of bilateral congenital cortical cataract amblyopia (bilateral amblyopia group) were enrolled from January 2022 to December 2022 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Seventeen age and gender matched children with normal visual acuity were recruited as the healthy control group. Resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) was performed on all participants, and the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) technique was used to analyze their spontaneous brain activities. The original ALFF value of each voxel was divided by the average ALFF value of the whole brain to obtain the standardized ALFF value (referred to as ALFF value), which reflected the intensity of spontaneous brain activity in different brain regions. General demographic data were compared using one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, and chi-square test. Comparison of ALFF values was conducted using one-way analysis of variance. Results: There were no significant differences in age, gender, distribution of amblyopic eye or non-dominant eye, and degree of refractive error among the three groups (all P>0.05). Compared to the healthy control group, the unilateral amblyopia group showed higher ALFF values in the right posterior lobe of the cerebellum (67 voxels, t=3.48) and left posterior lobe of the cerebellum (71 voxels, t=4.09), and lower ALFF values in the right postcentral gyrus (91 voxels, t=-3.91), right inferior parietal lobule (73 voxels, t=-4.88), right inferior frontal gyrus (78 voxels, t=-4.09), left inferior parietal lobule (556 voxels, t=-4.82), and left inferior frontal gyrus (122 voxels, t=-4.27) (all P<0.01). The bilateral amblyopia group showed higher ALFF values in the right insula (60 voxels, t=3.54), right Rolandic operculum (69 voxels, t=3.73), right posterior lobe of the cerebellum (54 voxels, t=3.43), and left posterior lobe of the cerebellum (143 voxels, t=3.69), and lower ALFF values in the left inferior frontal gyrus (99 voxels, t=-4.39), left postcentral gyrus (231 voxels, t=-4.28), and right inferior parietal lobule (54 voxels, t=-3.77) (all P<0.01). Compared to the unilateral amblyopia group, the bilateral amblyopia group showed higher ALFF values in the left middle frontal gyrus (52 voxels, t=3.15, P=0.029), left posterior lobe of the cerebellum (77 voxels, t=3.39, P=0.001), and right Rolandic operculum (53 voxels, t=3.59, P=0.007). Conclusion: Children with congenital cortical cataract amblyopia exhibit altered spontaneous brain activity in multiple brain regions, and there are differences in spontaneous brain activity changes between unilateral and bilateral amblyopia.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the mechanism of S100A7 inducing the migration and invasion in cervical cancers. Methods: Tissue samples of 5 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and 3 cases of adenocarcinoma were collected from May 2007 to December 2007 in the Department of Gynecology of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expression of S100A7 in cervical carcinoma tissues. S100A7-overexpressing HeLa and C33A cells were established with lentiviral systems as the experimental group. Immunofluorescence assay was performed to observe the cell morphology. Transwell assay was taken to detect the effect of S100A7-overexpression on the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. Reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to examine the mRNA expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and fibronectin. The expression of extracellular S100A7 in conditioned medium of cervical cancer cell was detected by western blot. Conditioned medium was added into Transwell lower compartment to detect cell motility. Exosomes were isolated and extracted from the culture supernatant of cervical cancer cell, the expressions of S100A7, CD81 and TSG101 were detected by western blot. Transwell assay was taken to detect the effect of exosomes on the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. Results: S100A7 expression was positively expressed in cervical squamous carcinoma and negative expression in adenocarcinoma. Stable S100A7-overexpressing HeLa and C33A cells were successfully constructed. C33A cells in the experimental group were spindle shaped while those in the control group tended to be polygonal epithelioid cells. The number of S100A7-overexpressed HeLa cells passing through the Transwell membrane assay was increased significantly in migration and invasion assay (152.00±39.22 vs 105.13±15.75, P<0.05; 115.38±34.57 vs 79.50±13.68, P<0.05). RT-qPCR indicated that the mRNA expressions of E-cadherin in S100A7-overexpressed HeLa and C33A cells decreased (P<0.05) while the mRNA expressions of N-cadherin and fibronectin in HeLa cells and fibronectin in C33A cells increased (P<0.05). Western blot showed that extracellular S100A7 was detected in culture supernatant of cervical cancer cells. HeLa cells of the experimental group passing through transwell membrane in migration and invasion assays were increased significantly (192.60±24.41 vs 98.80±47.24, P<0.05; 105.40±27.38 vs 84.50±13.51, P<0.05) when the conditional medium was added into the lower compartment of Transwell. Exosomes from C33A cell culture supernatant were extracted successfully, and S100A7 expression was positive. The number of transmembrane C33A cells incubated with exosomes extracted from cells of the experimental group was increased significantly (251.00±49.82 vs 143.00±30.85, P<0.05; 524.60±52.74 vs 389.00±63.23, P<0.05). Conclusion: S100A7 may promote the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells by epithelial-mesenchymal transition and exosome secretion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in percentage of GATA3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and mouse models. METHODS The nasal mucosa specimens were obtained from 6 AR patients and 6 control patients for detection of nasal mucosal inflammation. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from 12 AP patients and 12 control patients to determine the percentages of Treg cells and GATA3+ Treg cells. In a C57BL/6 mouse model of AR, the AR symptom score, peripheral blood OVA-sIgE level, and nasal mucosal inflammation were assessed, and the spleen of mice was collected for detecting the percentages of Treg cells and GATA3+ Treg cells and the expressions of Th2 cytokines. RESULTS Compared with the control patients, AR patients showed significantly increased eosinophil infiltration and goblet cell proliferation in the nasal mucosa (P < 0.01) and decreased percentages of Treg cells and GATA3+ Treg cells (P < 0.05). The mouse models of AR also had more obvious allergic symptoms, significantly increased OVA-sIgE level in peripheral blood, eosinophil infiltration and goblet cell hyperplasia (P < 0.01), markedly lowered percentages of Treg cells and GATA3+ Treg cells in the spleen (P < 0.01), and increased expressions of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The percentage of GATA3+ Treg cells is decreased in AR patients and mouse models. GATA3+ Treg cells possibly participate in Th2 cell immune response, both of which are involved in the occurrence and progression of AR, suggesting the potential of GATA3+ Treg cells as a new therapeutic target for AR.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Clinically, 40-50% of patients with NSCLC are found to have systemic metastasis at the initial diagnosis. Meanwhile, 30-75% of patients with lung cancer who have undergone radical surgical resection have local recurrence and distant metastases. However, not all distant metastases are multiple, and some are potentially curable. In this study, among the patients with NSCLC having distant organ metastasis, approximately 7% showed extrapulmonary solitary metastasis and remained in this relatively stable state for a long time. This form of metastasis is known as NSCLC oligometastases. This review describes the concept and classification of oligometastases, as well as the local treatment and prognosis of extracranial oligometastases.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the demographic characteristics and clinical influencing factors which associates with the occurrence probability of persistent or intermittent hypoviremia (LLV) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs). Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was performed on patients with CHB who received outpatient NAs therapy for≥48 ± 2 weeks. According to the serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA load at 48±2 weeks treatment, the study groups were divided into LLV (HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml and < 2 000 IU/ml) and MVR group (sustained virological response, HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml). Demographic characteristics and clinical data at the start of NAs treatment (considered as baseline) were retrospectively collected for both patient groups. The differences in the reduction of HBV DNA load during treatment was compared between the two groups. Correlation and multivariate analysis were further conducted to analyze the associated factors influencing the LLV occurrence. Statistical analysis was performed using the independent samples t-test, c2 test, Spearman analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis, or area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: A total of 509 cases were enrolled, with 189 and 320 in the LLV and MVR groups, respectively. Compared to patients with MVR group at baseline: (1) the demographics characteristics of patients showed that LLV group was younger in age (39.1 years, P = 0.027), had a stronger family history (60.3%, P = 0.001), 61.9% received ETV treatment, and higher proportion of compensated cirrhosis (20.6%, P = 0.025) at baseline; (2) the serum virological characteristics of patients showed that LLV group had higher HBV DNA load, qHBsAg level, qHBeAg level, HBeAg positive rate, and the proportion of genotype C HBV infection but decreased HBV DNA during treatment (P < 0.001) at baseline; (3) the biochemical characteristics of patients showed that LLV group had lower serum ALT levels (P = 0.007) at baseline; (4) the noninvasive fibrosis markers of patients showed that LLV group were characterized by high aspartate aminotransferase platelet ratio index (APRI) (P = 0.02) and FIB-4 (P = 0.027) at baseline. HBV DNA, qHBsAg and qHBeAg were positively correlated with LLV occurrence (r = 0.559, 0.344, 0.435, respectively), while age and HBV DNA reduction were negatively correlated (r = -0.098, -0.876, respectively). Logistic regression analysis showed that ETV treatment history, high HBV DNA load at baseline, high qHBsAg level, high qHBeAg level, HBeAg positive, low ALT and HBV DNA level were independent risk factors for patients with CHB who developed LLV with NAs treatment. Multivariate prediction model had a good predictive value for LLV occurrence [AUC 0.922 (95%CI: 0.897 ~ 0.946)]. Conclusion: In this study, 37.1% of CHB patients treated with first-line NAs has LLV. The formation of LLV is influenced by various factors. HBeAg positivity, genotype C HBV infection, high baseline HBV DNA load, high qHBsAg level, high qHBeAg level, high APRI or FIB-4 value, low baseline ALT level, reduced HBV DNA during treatment, concomitant family history, metabolic liver disease history, and age < 40 years old are potential risk factors for developing LLV in patients with CHB during the therapeutic process.

Abstract
Introduction To investigate the pulmonary nodules detected by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), identified factors affecting the size and number of pulmonary nodules (single or multiple), and the pulmonary nodules diagnosed and management as lung cancer in healthy individuals. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 54,326 healthy individuals who received chest LDCT screening. According to the results of screening, the detection rates of pulmonary nodules, grouped according to the size and number of pulmonary nodules (single or multiple), and the patients' gender, age, history of smoking, hypertension, and diabetes were statistically analyzed to determine the correlation between each factor and the characteristics of the nodules. The pulmonary nodules in healthy individuals diagnosed with lung cancer were managed with differently protocols. Results The detection rate of pulmonary nodules was 38.8% (21,055/54,326). The baseline demographic characteristics of patients with pulmonary nodules were: 58% male and 42% female patients, 25.7% smoking and 74.3% nonsmoking individuals, 40-60 years old accounted for 49%, 54.8% multiple nodules, and 45.2% single nodules, and ≤5-mm size accounted for 80.4%, 6-10 mm for 18.2%, and 11-30 mm for 1.4%. Multiple pulmonary nodules were more common in hypertensive patients. Diabetes is not an independent risk factor for several pulmonary nodules. Of all patients with lung nodules, 26 were diagnosed with lung cancer, accounting for 0.1% of all patients with pulmonary nodules, 0.6% with nodules ≥5 mm, and 2.2% with nodules ≥8 mm, respectively. Twenty-six patients with lung cancer were treated with surgical resection (57.7%), microwave ablation (MWA, 38.5%), and follow-up (3.8%). Conclusions LDCT was suitable for large-scale pulmonary nodules screening in healthy individuals, which was helpful for the early detection of suspicious lesions in the lung. In addition to surgical resection, MWA is an option for early lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No standard of care for mucosal melanoma (MM) in the adjuvant setting has been established. Meanwhile, relapse-free survival (RFS) is only about five months after surgery alone. This phase II trial aimed to compare toripalimab vs. high-dose interferon-α2b (HDI) as an adjuvant therapy for resected MM. PATIENTS AND METHODS From July 2017 to May 2019, 145 patients with resected MM were randomized (1:1) to receive HDI (N = 72) or toripalimab (N = 73) for one year until disease relapse/distant metastasis, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was RFS. The secondary endpoints included distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 26.3 months, the numbers of RFS, OS, and DMFS events were 51 vs. 46, 33 vs. 29, and 49 vs. 44 in the toripalimab arm and the HDI arm, respectively. The median RFS were 13.6 (95%CI: 8.31-19.02) months and 13.9 (95%CI: 8.28-19.61) months in the toripalimab arm and HDI arm, respectively. The DMFS was not significantly different between the two arms (HR: 1.00, 95%CI: 0.65-1.54). The median OS was 35.1 months (95%CI: 27.93-NR) in the toripalimab arm, with no significant difference in all-cause death (HR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.66-1.84) for the two arms. The median sums of the patients' actual infusion doses were 3672 mg and 1054.5 MIU in the toripalimab arm and HDI arm, respectively. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events with a grade ≥ 3 was much higher in the HDI arm than in the toripalimab arm (87.5% vs. 27.4%). CONCLUSION Toripalimab showed a similar RFS and a more favorable safety profile than HDI, both better than historical data, suggesting that toripalimab might be the better treatment option. However, additional translational studies and better treatment regimens are still warranted to improve the clinical outcome of MM.

Abstract
Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a neurological emergency mostly secondary to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the posterior circulation with PSH as the initial manifestation is uncommon. It may lead to catastrophic consequences for patients if not detected and treated timely. Here, we present three patients with acute LVO in the posterior circulation with PSH as the initial symptom. All patients were male and averaged 63 years old. The PSH Assessment Measure (PSH-AM) scores of all cases were > 17. Brain imaging showed that multiple lesions in posterior circulation were involved in three patients. Although the prognosis of all patients was poor, PSH symptoms disappeared in all patients after endovascular treatment. These cases suggests that acute posterior circulation-related ischemic stroke should be considered with PSH occurring as the first symptom. Extensive disconnection due to multiple lesions in posterior circulation may play an important role in the occurrence and development of PSH. Endovascular treatment may be effective for PSH caused by acute posterior circulation-related ischemic stroke. This is worthy of further study in the future.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the ability of a multidisciplinary approach that combines multimodal neuroimaging with video-electroencephalography (v-EEG) to predict post-surgical outcomes in patients with intractable epilepsy, and explore prognostic predictors for these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-eight patients with intractable epilepsy who underwent surgery between March 2016 and October 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic, clinical, v-EEG, neuroimaging, surgical, and regular follow-up seizure outcome data were collected. Forty-six patients with a follow-up of at least 12 months were graded by Engel scores. Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied to explore prognostic factors that could predict post-surgical seizure outcomes. RESULTS Of the 58 patients, 28 were males. The median age was 27 years, the median age at first seizure was 11 years, and the median duration of seizures was 10 years. The Kaplan-Meier log-rank test showed that regardless of whether the follow-up duration was considered, epilepsy type, v-EEG, PET/CT, image post-processing methods, and a multidisciplinary approach that combined multimodal imaging with v-EEG were all correlated with seizure outcomes. Multivariate analysis found that the multidisciplinary approach was an independent predictor of post-surgical outcomes in patients with intractable epilepsy (hazard ratio = 11.400, 95% confidence interval = 2.249-57.787, p=0.003). CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that the multidisciplinary approach could provide independent prognostic information for patients with intractable epilepsy undergoing surgery. This approach has strong potential for the easier selection of patients to undergo surgical treatment and accurate prognostication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The exact mechanisms that acetamide and glycerol interact with cell membrane remains a matter of debate. OBJECTIVE To investigate the microscopic interactions of acetamide and glycerol with phospholipid bilayers at various temperatures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Molecular dynamics simulations of a hydrated dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer in the presence of glycerol and acetamide were performed. The system contains 128 lipids and about 700 cryoprotectant molecules, and simulations extended to 15 ns. RESULT When compared to glycerol, acetamide shows a stronger affinity with water rather than the lipid bilayer. CONCLUSION The knowledge of the mixing dynamics of present system helps to develop better cryoprotective formulas and to propose more optimal cooling/warming protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist, is widely applicable to anesthesia, analgesia, and sedation. However, the function and mechanisms of ketamine in the long-term learning and memory function of neonatal mice are unclear. OBJECTIVE The present study aims to investigate whether long-term learning and memory function will be affected by multiple ketamine exposures in the early development period. METHODS The mRNA and protein levels were measured by RT-qPCR and western blot, respectively. The Morris Water Maze test was performed to assess spatial learning and memory. RESULTS We identified that neonatal exposure to ketamine downsized the positive neurons for microtubule-associated protein doublecortin (DCX) and Ki67 in hippocampal dentate gyrus at the juvenile and late adolescence stages. Double-labeling tests demonstrated that the counts of Iba1+ cells and Ki67+ cells were pronouncedly diminished with exposure to ketamine. Further, qPCR assays to screen the key factors predisposing the populations and maturation of microglia exhibited remarkable decline of CX3CR1 mRNA levels in ketamine group versus the control group. The close relation of microglia to synaptic plasticity was depicted by the significantly downregulated synaptic plasticity-related proteins NR2B and PSD-95 subsequent to multiple exposures to ketamine. Finally, we found that both the protein and mRNA levels of BDNF were markedly decreased in ketamine group versus the control group. CONCLUSION We found that multiple exposures to ketamine in neonatal mice lead to spatial learning and memory dysfunction. The alterations of microglial development and function are the possible mechanisms of long-term learning and memory impairment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Microwave ablation combined with concurrent biopsy has been used for lung cancer. Frozen section (FS) diagnosis is an important supplement for the final pathology (FP). Thus, a retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the concordance between FS examination and FP in the computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent percutaneous transthoracic needle lung biopsies and were diagnosed using both intraoperative FS examination and FP were retrospectively enrolled. Concordance between FS findings and FP in the diagnosis of malignant lung cancer and the definitive histology types were recorded. RESULTS Overall, 163 patients were enrolled. The concordance rate in the diagnosis of malignant tumors was 96.3%. The definitive histology types were concordant between FS examinations and FP in 112 patients (68.7%). Lung cancers undefined with FS but diagnosed as adenocarcinoma with FP were the most common type, observed in 18 patients. The concordance in the histology type was lower for those requiring immunohistochemistry for FP diagnoses (47.3 vs. 79.6%, p < 0.000). Concordance rates differed for the different histology types diagnosed using FP (adenocarcinoma vs. squamous cell carcinoma vs. small-cell lung cancer vs. others, 76.6 vs. 56.2 vs. 69.2 vs. 0.0%, p < 0.000). CONCLUSIONS FS was inferior to FP in the diagnosis of definitive histology types, but had a high concordance with FP in the diagnosis of malignant lung cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current situation of insomnia in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and analyze the influencing factors of insomnia in the ACS patients, so as to provide information on the development of new strategies for the treatment of insomnia in ACS patients. Methods: This is a multicenter and prospective observational study. A total of 771 ACS patients who met the criteria were selected from March 2013 to June 2015. The baseline social demographic information, sleep quality questionnaire, general anxiety disorder scale-7(GAD-7),patient health questionnaire-9(PHQ-9), short-form 12 health survey questionnaire(SF-12), and enhancing recovery in coronary heart disease patients social inventory(ESSI) were completed within 7 days after admission. Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the influencing factors of insomnia in ACS patients. Results: A total of 741 subjects with valid questionnaires were collected, including 510 males (68.8%) and 231 females (31.2%). Among them, 487 (65.7%) subjects had at least one insomnia symptom: 308 (41.6%) subjects had difficulty in falling asleep, 369 (49.8%) subjects were easy to wake at night, 116 (15.7%) subjects woke up earlier than they expected, 74 (10.0%) subjects experienced both woke up earlier and difficulty in falling asleep, and 53 (7.2%) subjects woke up earlier, woke up at night and had difficulty in falling asleep at the same time. Logistic regression analyses showed that before admission physical activity (OR =0.636, 95%CI 0.411-0.984), depression (OR=1.908, 95%CI 1.101-3.305) and low social support (OR=0.278, 95%CI 1.198-3.301) were independent factors of insomnia in ACS patients. Conclusions: Nearly 2/3 ACS patients have symptoms of insomnia. Difficulty in falling asleep and easy to wake up at night are the most common manifestations. Physical activity, depression and social support independently are associated with insomnia.
