Abstract
BACKGROUND Infusion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) induces polarization of M2 macrophages in adipose tissue of type 2 diabetes (T2D) mice. Studies have shown that M2 macrophages were divided into four sub-phenotypes (M2a, M2b, M2c and M2d) with different functions, and manuscripts have also confirmed that macrophages co-cultured with MSCs were not matched with known four phenotype macrophages. Therefore, our study explored the phenotype and related gene expressions of macrophages in the adipose tissue of T2D mice with/without MSCs infusion. METHODS We induced a T2D mouse model by using high-fat diets and streptozotocin (STZ) injection. The mice were divided into three groups: the control group, the T2D group, and the MSCs group. MSCs were systemically injected once a week for 6 weeks. The phenotype of macrophages in adipose tissue was detected via flow cytometric analysis. We also investigated the gene expression of macrophages in different groups via SMART-RNA-sequencing and quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS The present study found that the macrophages of adipose tissue in the MSCs group were polarized to the M2 phenotype mixed with four sub-phenotypes. Besides, M2a and M2c held a dominant position, while M2b and M2d (tumor-associated macrophages, TAMs) exhibited a decreasing trend after infusion of MSCs. Moreover, the MSCs group did not appear to express higher levels of tumor-associated, inflammation-associated, or fibrosis-associated genes in comparison to the T2D group. CONCLUSION The present results unveiled that the macrophage phenotype was inclined to be present in a hybridity state of four M2 sub-phenotypes and the genes related to tumor-promoting, pro-inflammation and pro-fibrosis were not increased after MSCs injection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase 2 study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cell (UC-MSC) transfusion for treating patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Indeed, this potential treatment strategy was able to reduce insulin use by half in a considerable number of patients. However, many other patients' responses to UC-MSC transfusion were insignificant. The selection of patients who might benefit from UC-MSC treatment is crucial from a clinical standpoint. METHODS In this post hoc analysis, 37 patients who received UC-MSC transfusions were divided into two groups based on whether their glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c, or HbA1c) level was less than 7% after receiving UC-MSC treatment. The baseline differences between the two groups were summarized, and potential factors influencing efficacy of UC-MSCs for T2DM were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The correlations between the relevant hormone levels and the treatment effect were further analyzed. RESULTS At the 9-week follow-up, 59.5% of patients achieved their targeted HbA1c level. Male patients with lower baseline HbA1c and greater C-peptide area under the curve (AUCC-pep) values responded favorably to UC-MSC transfusion, according to multivariate analysis. The effectiveness of UC-MSCs transfusion was predicted by AUCC-pep (cutoff value: 14.22 ng/h/mL). Further investigation revealed that AUCC-pep was increased in male patients with greater baseline testosterone levels. CONCLUSIONS Male patients with T2DM with greater AUCC-pep may be more likely to respond clinically to UC-MSC therapy, and further large-scale multi-ethnic clinical studies should be performed to confirm the conclusion.

Abstract
Background Gitelman Syndrome (GS) patients frequently exhibit disrupted glucose metabolism, attributed to hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia and heightened aldosterone. This study delved into the genetic underpinnings linked to insulin resistance and diabetes in a GS patient, contextualized within his family history. Methods The hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide loading test were performed to ascertain the presence of GS. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) evaluated glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Whole-exome sequencing, validated by Sanger sequencing, was employed to confirm gene mutations, which were then tracked among the patient's relatives. Results Symptoms and laboratory examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis of GS. Comprehensive whole-exome sequencing, augmented by Sanger sequencing validation, revealed a compound heterozygous mutation within the SLC12A3 gene (c.1108G>C in exon 9, c.676G>A in exon 5 and c.2398G>A in exon 20) in the patient. The OGTT affirmed diabetes and heightened insulin resistance, distinct from previous patients with GS we evaluated. Further genetic analysis identified a missense heterozygous mutation (c.97C>G in exon 1) within the PDX1 gene, inherited from the patient's diabetic mother without GS. Furthermore, the patient's brother, with impaired glucose tolerance but regular potassium levels, also bore this mutation, hinting at additional impacts of the PDX1 gene mutation on glucose metabolism regulation beyond the known impacts of GS. Conclusion This study unveils unprecedented compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC12A3 and PDX1 genes in a GS patient. These findings illuminate the potential complex genetic factors influencing glucose metabolism disruptions in GS. Take-home message This research uncovers a novel combination of SLC12A3 and PDX1 gene mutations in a Gitelman Syndrome patient, revealing intricate genetic factors that potentially disrupt glucose metabolism and shedding light on familial diabetes links.

Abstract
Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have been proved a promising clinical strategy for the treatment of diabetes, and time in range (TIR) has been demonstrated a new metric of glycemic control links to diabetes complications. To further assess the therapeutic effect of UC-MSCs on TIR, a phase II study investigating the efficacy of UC-MSCs in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) assessed by retrospective continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was conducted. In this randomized and placebo-controlled trial, a total of 73 patients were randomly assigned to receive intravenous infusion of UC-MSCs (n = 37) or placebo (n = 36) 3 times at 4-week intervals and followed up for 48 weeks. The primary endpoint was the changes in TIR and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). TIR and HbA1c were both significantly improved in UC-MSCs and placebo groups after 48 weeks of therapy compared with baseline. Compared with placebo group, UC-MSCs group exhibited more pronounced changes at 9 and 48 weeks from baseline in TIR (26.54 vs. 15.84 and 21.36 vs. 6.32) and HbA1c (-1.79 vs. -0.96 and -1.36 vs. -0.51). More patients in UC-MSCs group achieved the glycemic control target of TIR ≥ 70% and HbA1c < 7% at 9 and 48 weeks than in placebo group (59.5% vs. 27.8% and 43.2% vs. 11.1%). The C-peptide area under the curve (AUCC-pep) was an independent risk factor associated with efficacy in T2D undergoing UC-MSCs intervention. These results illustrate that UC-MSCs administration via intravenous infusion is an effective approach for ameliorating TIR.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the prevalence of overweight/obesity and associated complications from a large, cross-sectional, nationwide database in China. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were obtained from 519 Meinian health check-up centres across 243 cities. Eligible participants were aged ≥18 years, with a routine check-up in 2019 (N = 21 771 683) and complete height, weight, sex and region data. The unadjusted prevalence rates of overweight/obesity were calculated by age, sex and region. In addition, the nationwide prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were standardized according to the 2010 China census by age group and sex. The prevalence of obesity-related complications by body mass index (BMI) groups was calculated using logistic regression. RESULTS There were 15 770 094 eligible participants (median age 40 years; mean BMI 24.1 kg/m2 ; 52.8% male). By Chinese BMI classification, 34.8% were overweight and 14.1% were obese. Overweight and obesity were more prevalent in male than female participants (standardized: overweight 40.2% vs. 27.4%; obesity 17.6% vs. 9.6%, respectively). The prevalence of assessed complications was higher in participants with overweight/obesity versus those with normal BMI (P < 0.001 for trends). The most prevalent complications in participants with overweight/obesity were fatty liver disease, prediabetes, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. The number of complications increased with higher BMI. CONCLUSIONS Overweight/obesity and related complications are highly prevalent in this population. These data may better inform management and prevention public health strategies in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) was developed to quantify glucose metabolism and individual differences and proved to be a robust measure of individual glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) bias. Here, we aimed to explore the relationship between different HGIs and the risk of 5-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) by performing a large multicenter cohort study in China. METHODS A total of 9791 subjects from the Risk Evaluation of Cancers in Chinese Diabetic Individuals: a Longitudinal Study (the REACTION study) were divided into five subgroups (Q1-Q5) with the HGI quantiles (≤5th, >5th and ≤33.3th, >33.3th and ≤66.7th, >66.7th and ≤95th, and >95th percentile). A multivariate logistic regression model constructed by the restricted cubic spline method was used to evaluate the relationship between the HGI and the 5-year MACE risk. Subgroup analysis between the HGI and covariates were explored to detect differences among the five subgroups. RESULTS The total 5-year MACE rate in the nationwide cohort was 6.87% (673/9791). Restricted cubic spline analysis suggested a U-shaped correlation between the HGI values and MACE risk after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors ( χ2 = 29.5, P <0.001). After adjustment for potential confounders, subjects with HGIs ≤-0.75 or >0.82 showed odds ratios (ORs) for MACE of 1.471 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.027-2.069) and 2.222 (95% CI, 1.641-3.026) compared to subjects with HGIs of >-0.75 and ≤-0.20. In the subgroup with non-coronary heart disease, the risk of MACE was significantly higher in subjects with HGIs ≤-0.75 (OR, 1.540 [1.039-2.234]; P = 0.027) and >0.82 (OR, 2.022 [1.392-2.890]; P <0.001) compared to those with HGIs of ≤-0.75 or >0.82 after adjustment for potential confounders. CONCLUSIONS We found a U-shaped correlation between the HGI values and the risk of 5-year MACE. Both low and high HGIs were associated with an increased risk of MACE. Therefore, the HGI may predict the 5-year MACE risk.

Abstract
Our primary goal here is to demonstrate that innovative analytics of aneurismal velocities, named velocity-informatics, enhances intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture status prediction. 3D computer models were generated using imaging data from 112 subjects harboring anterior IAs (4-25 mm; 44 ruptured and 68 unruptured). Computational fluid dynamics simulations and geometrical analyses were performed. Then, computed 3D velocity vector fields within the IA dome were processed for velocity-informatics. Four machine learning methods (support vector machine, random forest, generalized linear model, and GLM with Lasso or elastic net regularization) were employed to assess the merits of the proposed velocity-informatics. All 4 ML methods consistently showed that, with velocity-informatics metrics, the area under the curve and prediction accuracy both improved by approximately 0.03. Overall, with velocity-informatics, the support vector machine's prediction was most promising: an AUC of 0.86 and total accuracy of 77%, with 60% and 88% of ruptured and unruptured IAs being correctly identified, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The brachial-ankle pulse-wave velocity (baPWV) is regarded as the gold standard in the evaluation of arterial stiffness. Its prognostic significance for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) has been demonstrated. However, the factors influencing the association between baPWV and MACE risk have not been determined. In this study, we investigated the association of baPWV and MACE risk and whether it is affected by the risk factors for different cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). METHODS This was a prospective cohort study that initially enrolled 6850 participants from 12 communities in Beijing. The participants were divided into three subgroups according to their baPWV values. The primary outcome was the first occurrence of MACE, defined as hospitalization from cardiovascular diseases, first occurrence of a nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. Cox proportional hazards regression and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to examine the association between baPWV and MACE. The effect of CVD risk factors on the relationship between baPWV and MACE was explored in subgroup analyses. RESULTS The final study population consisted of 5719 participants. During a median follow-up of 34.73 months, MACE occurred in 169 participants. The restricted cubic spline analysis indicated a positive linear relationship between baPWV and MACE risk. After adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors, the hazard ratio (HR) for MACE risk per SD increase in baPWV was 1.272 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.149-1.407, P < 0.001], and the HR for MACE in the high-baPWV vs. the low-baPWV group was 1.965 (95% CI: 1.296-2.979, P = 0.001). Adding baPWV to the conventional cardiovascular risk factors significantly improved the model's prediction performance and the net reclassification (NRI) [NRI: 0.379 (95% CI: 0.072-0.710), P = 0.025] in MACE discrimination. However, in the subgroup analysis, two CVD risk factors, stable coronary heart disease and hypertension, showed significant interaction effects ( Pinteraction both < 0.05). This result indicated that the effect of CVD risk factors must be taken into account when assessing the relationship between baPWV and MACE. CONCLUSION baPWV is a potential marker to improve the identification of MACE risk in the general population. A positive linear correlation was firstly determined between baPWV and MACE risk, but it may not be valid in participants with stable coronary heart disease and hypertension.

Abstract
CONTEXT Intraoperative hemodynamic instability (HI) deteriorates surgical outcomes of patients with normotensive pheochromocytoma (NP). OBJECTIVE To characterize the hemodynamics of NP and develop and externally validate a prediction model for intraoperative HI. METHODS Data on 117 patients with NP (derivation cohort) and 40 patients with normotensive adrenal myelolipoma (NAM) who underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy from January 2011 to November 2021 were retrospectively collected. Data on 22 patients with NP (independent validation cohort) were collected from another hospital during the same period. The hemodynamic characteristics of patients with NP and NAM were compared. Machine learning models were used to identify risk factors associated with HI. The final model was visualized via a nomogram. RESULTS Forty-eight (41%) out of 117 patients experienced HI, which was significantly more than that for NAM. A multivariate logistic regression including age, tumor size, fasting plasma glucose, and preoperative systolic blood pressure showed good discrimination measured by area under curve (0.8286; 95% CI 0.6875-0.9696 and 0.7667; 95% CI 0.5386-0.9947) for predicting HI in internal and independent validation cohorts, respectively. The sensitivities and positive predictive values were 0.6667 and 0.7692 for the internal and 0.9167 and 0.6111 for the independent validations, respectively. The final model was visualized via a nomogram and yielded net benefits across a wide range of risk thresholds in decision curve analysis. CONCLUSION Patients with NP experienced HI during laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The nomogram can be used for individualized prediction of intraoperative HI in patients with NP.

Abstract
Background Castleman Disease (CD) is a group of diseases with characteristic lymph node histopathology, characterized by marked enlargement of deep or superficial lymph nodes. Adrenal CD is rarely reported, and an accurate preoperative diagnosis of adrenal CD is difficult. Method We report four cases of CD in the adrenal gland confirmed by pathology and review the characteristics of this rare disease, highlighting the necessity of diagnostic evaluation and follow-up of the patients. Results All of the patients sought medical advice because of adrenal incidentalomas. No significant abnormalities were presented in the biochemistry or endocrine systems. The imaging suggested a moderate-to-large mass with uneven moderate contrast enhancement of the adrenal region, similar to a pheochromocytoma. All cases were misdiagnosed as pheochromocytomas before operation and finally confirmed by histopathology. Three cases were pathologically diagnosed as hyaline vascular CD, and one case was diagnosed as plasma cell CD. All the patients are alive without recurrence after a median follow-up of 8 years. Conclusion The adrenal CD should be considered after excluding pheochromocytoma and malignancy in the adrenal region. The long-term prognosis of patients with complete resection of the mass is excellent.

Abstract
PURPOSE Older patients with non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) have a poor prognosis. However, there are few studies on the association of NTIS and mortality among older inpatients on general wards. In a 7-year retrospective observational study, we aimed to investigate the clinical features of NTIS and the association of NTIS and all-cause mortality in older inpatients. METHODS A total of 959 older male inpatients whose average age was 86.3 ± 8.1 years were enrolled and divided into the NTIS group and non-NTIS group. Cox models were performed to explore the association of thyroid hormone level and mortality. RESULTS Patients had more respiratory disease and chronic kidney disease in the NTIS than in the non-NTIS group, especially in primary nursing care, respiratory failure and haemodialysis patients; serum total protein, albumin, prealbumin, haemoglobin, uric acid and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were lower, and urea nitrogen and fasting blood glucose levels were higher, in the NTIS than in the non-NTIS group. Patients in the NTIS group had a lower survival rate over 7 years follow-up (P < 0.01). A lower free T3 level was associated with all-cause mortality with a HR of 1.50 (1.36, 1.66). Lower free T4 level was associated with reduced all-cause mortality with a HR of 0.91 (0.88, 0.94) even after adjusting for confounding factors (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Among older male inpatients, the survival rate was lower in the NTIS group. A reduced free T3 level with low albumin and Hb levels was associated with all-cause mortality; moreover, a higher free T4 in the normal range may be a strong predictor for long-term mortality risk in hospitalised older male patients.

Abstract
Although applying machine learning (ML) algorithms to rupture status assessment of intracranial aneurysms (IA) has yielded promising results, the opaqueness of some ML methods has limited their clinical translation. We presented the first explainability comparison of six commonly used ML algorithms: multivariate logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART). A total of 112 IAs with known rupture status were selected for this study. The ML-based classification used two anatomical features, nine hemodynamic parameters, and thirteen morphologic variables. We utilized permutation feature importance, local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME), and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) algorithms to explain and analyze 6 Ml algorithms. All models performed comparably: LR area under the curve (AUC) was 0.71; SVM AUC was 0.76; RF AUC was 0.73; XGBoost AUC was 0.78; MLPNN AUC was 0.73; BART AUC was 0.73. Our interpretability analysis demonstrated consistent results across all the methods; i.e., the utility of the top 12 features was broadly consistent. Furthermore, contributions of 9 important features (aneurysm area, aneurysm location, aneurysm type, wall shear stress maximum during systole, ostium area, the size ratio between aneurysm width, (parent) vessel diameter, one standard deviation among time-averaged low shear area, and one standard deviation of temporally averaged low shear area less than 0.4 Pa) were nearly the same. This research suggested that ML classifiers can provide explainable predictions consistent with general domain knowledge concerning IA rupture. With the improved understanding of ML algorithms, clinicians' trust in ML algorithms will be enhanced, accelerating their clinical translation.

Abstract
Magnesium is considered to play a role in preventing cancer. However, the association between serum magnesium and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remains unknown. We retrospectively reviewed records of all patients who underwent thyroidectomy with thyroid nodules confirmed pathologically as benign nodule or PTC at our institution from January 2016 to December 2020. Data including demographic characteristics, laboratory tests, and pathological features were analyzed in 5709 adult patients eventually. The subjects with benign nodules had a higher mean serum magnesium level than those with PTC (P < 0.001), and the proportions of PTCs decreased across quartiles of serum magnesium within the normal range. After adjustment for confounders, patients with the lowest quartile of serum magnesium had a higher prevalence of PTC than those with the highest quartile (OR = 1.421, 95%CI: 1.125-1.795, P for trend = 0.005), and the risk of PTC was 0.863 (95%CI: 0.795-0.936) for a per-SD change in serum magnesium. The contribution of serum magnesium remained in subgroup analysis (P for interaction for all analyses > 0.05). Based on the ROC curve, the cut-off value of serum magnesium used to differentiate benign nodules from PTCs was 935 μmol/L. Combining serum magnesium with other clinical indicators can improve the efficacy of predicting PTC. Our results showed that lower serum magnesium within the normal range was associated with a greater risk of PTC among patients with thyroid nodules considering thyroidectomy. Serum magnesium may be an independent protective factor against PTC and provide additional information on the odds of malignancy in uncertain thyroid nodules in combination with other clinical factors.

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert anti-diabetic effects and improve long-term complications via secretory effects that regulate macrophage polarisation and attenuate inflammation. Enhancing the efficacy of MSCs needs to be explored further. The in vitro culture microenvironment influences the secretory profile of MSCs. Therefore, we hypothesised that a diabetic microenvironment would promote the secretion of cytokines responsible for macrophage polarisation, further attenuating systemic inflammation and enhancing the effects of MSCs on type 2 diabetes (T2D) and long-term diabetic complications. Methods Preconditioned adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (pre-ADSCs) were obtained after co-cultivating ADSCs in a diabetic metabolic environment (including high sugar, advanced glycation end-product, and lipopolysaccharides). The regulatory effects of pre-ADSCs on macrophages were observed in vitro. A T2D rat model was induced with a high-fat diet for 32 weeks combined with an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were divided into four groups: normal group, diabetes without treatment group (PBS), ADSC treatment group, and pre-ADSC treatment group. ADSCs and pre-ADSCs were intravenously administered weekly to SD rats for 6 months, and then glucose homeostasis and long-term diabetic complications were evaluated in each group. Results The secretion of cytokines related to M2 macrophage polarisation (IL-6, MCP-1, etc.) was increased in the pre-ADSC group in the in vitro model. Pre-ADSC treatment significantly maintained blood glucose homeostasis, reduced insulin resistance, promoted islet regeneration, and ameliorated the complications related to diabetes in rats (chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, lung fibrosis, and cataract) compared to the ADSC group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the number of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage phenotypes was enhanced in tissues following pre-ADSC injections. Moreover, the expression of pro-inflammatory genes (iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β) was reduced whereas that of anti-inflammatory genes (Arg1, CD206, and Il-10) was increased after cultivation with pre-ADSCs. Conclusion Diabetic microenvironment-preconditioned ADSCs effectively strengthen the capacity against inflammation and modulate the progress of long-term T2D complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and giant toxic nodular goiter is very rare. Moreover, PHPT could be easily overlooked because hyperthyroidism may also lead to hypercalcemia. A 99mTc-MIBI scan of the parathyroid glands is often negative when they are concomitant. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we report a rare case of the coexistence of giant toxic nodular goiter and PHPT that had been ignored for many years but was successfully treated with an ultrasound-guided parathyroid adenoma microwave ablation (MWA). CONCLUSION Reoperation for PHPT carries an increased risk of cure failure and complications. Thermal ablation has been proven effective in inactivating hyperfunctioning parathyroid lesions and in normalizing both serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical characteristics, endocrinological function, and etiology of bilateral adrenal lesions in hospitalized patients. METHODS A retrospective study of 777 patients with bilateral adrenal lesions was conducted at the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital between January 2013 and January 2018. Patients' demographic features, hormonal profiles, imaging findings, and histopathological findings were reviewed from database records. RESULTS Of the 777 patients with bilateral adrenal lesions, 495 were men. The mean age at diagnosis was 52.0 ± 13.0 years. Overall, 511 (65.8%) cases were benign, followed by adrenal metastases (n = 224, 28.8%), pheochromocytoma (n = 26, 3.3%), adrenal lymphoma (n = 9, 1.2%), and adrenal corticocarcinoma (ACC; n = 7, 0.9%). Hormonal evaluation revealed that 34.3% of bilateral adrenal lesions were functional. The primary etiologies of functional lesions were primary aldosteronism (16.6%, 129/777), and primary bilateral macronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia (PBMAH; 8.8%, 68/777). Patients with lymphoma and metastases were significantly older than those with benign nonfunctional lesions (60.4 ± 11.0 years vs. 54.5 ± 10.4 years and 57.9 ± 10.8 years vs. 54.5 ± 10.4 years, respectively; both P < 0.001). Lesions in patients with adrenal lymphoma, ACC, pheochromocytoma, metastases, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, tuberculosis, and Cushing's syndrome were significantly larger than benign nonfunctional lesions (all P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Benign adrenal lesions and metastases from the lungs are the most common causes of bilateral adrenal lesions. Primary aldosteronism and PBMAH are the most prevalent functional lesions. Moreover, patients with lymphoma or metastases are older and their masses are larger.

Abstract
Over the past decades, the incidence of thyroid cancer (TC) rapidly increased all over the world, with the papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) accounting for the vast majority of TC cases. It is crucial to investigate novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for PTC and explore more detailed molecular mechanisms in the carcinogenesis and progression of PTC. Based on the TCGA and GEO databases, FAM111B is downregulated in PTC tissues and predicts better prognosis in PTC patients. FAM111B suppresses the growth, migration, invasion and glycolysis of PTC both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, estrogen inhibits FAM111B expression by DNMT3B methylation via enhancing the recruitment of DNMT3B to FAM111B promoter. DNMT3B-mediated FAM111B methylation accelerates the growth, migration, invasion and glycolysis of PTC cells. In clinical TC patient specimens, the expression of FAM111B is inversely correlated with the expressions of DNMT3B and the glycolytic gene PGK1. Besides, the expression of FAM111B is inversely correlated while DNMT3B is positively correlated with glucose uptake in PTC patients. Our work established E2/DNMT3B/FAM111B as a crucial axis in regulating the growth and progression of PTC. Suppression of DNMT3B or promotion of FAM111B will be potential promising strategies in the estrogen induced PTC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a complication of pregnancy strongly associated with an increased risk of structural fetal abnormalities. As the fetal heart grows quickly during the late-term pregnancy period, it is important to understand fetal heart growth before birth. This study explored how GDM affects fetal heart growth by evaluating basic echocardiography indicators during late pregnancy. METHODS This prospective, longitudinal study included 63 GDM patients (GDM group) and 67 healthy pregnant women (control group). All subjects underwent fetal echocardiography scans at gestational weeks 28-32, 32-36, and 36-40. Twelve echocardiographic indicators were assessed at each observation and analyzed by using a mixed model. RESULTS The left atrial diameter (LA) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LV) similarly increased from the first to the third observation. The right ventricular end-diastolic diameter (RV) was significantly different between the groups, and a group × time interaction was detected. The tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity (s') increased more rapidly in the GDM than the control group during the first to second observations, and the group × time interaction was significant. The increase in the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) of the GDM group was "slow-fast", while that of the control group was "fast-slow", during three observations. After adjusting covariates, the group difference and interaction effect of TAPSE and RV remained significant. CONCLUSIONS The differences in fetal right heart indicators between the GDM and control groups suggest that GDM may affect the structure and functional growth of the fetal right heart during late-term pregnancy.

Abstract
Background To determine the efficacy and safety of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods In this single-center, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled phase II trial, 91 patients were randomly assigned to receive intravenous infusion of UC-MSCs (n = 45) or placebo (n = 46) three times with 4-week intervals and followed up for 48 weeks from October 2015 to December 2018. The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of < 7.0% and daily insulin reduction of ≥ 50% at 48 weeks. Additional endpoints were changes of metabolic control, islet β-cell function, insulin resistance, and safety. Results At 48 weeks, 20% of the patients in the UC-MSCs group and 4.55% in the placebo group reached the primary endpoint (p < 0.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.25–28.66%). The percentage of insulin reduction of the UC-MSCs group was significantly higher than that of the placebo group (27.78% versus 15.62%, p < 0.05). The levels of HbA1c decreased 1.31% (9.02 ± 1.27% to 7.52 ± 1.07%, p < 0.01) in the UC-MSCs group, and only 0.63% in the placebo group (8.89 ± 1.11% to 8.19 ± 1.02%, p˃0.05; p = 0.0081 between both groups). The glucose infusion rate (GIR) increased significantly in the UC-MSCs group (from 3.12 to 4.76 mg/min/kg, p < 0.01), whereas no significant change was observed in the placebo group (from 3.26 to 3.60 mg/min/kg, p ˃ 0.05; p < 0.01 between both groups). There was no improvement in islet β-cell function in both groups. No major UC-MSCs transplantation-related adverse events occurred. Conclusions UC-MSCs transplantation could be a potential therapeutic approach for Chinese adults with T2DM. Trial registration This study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT02302599).

Abstract
AIMS The present study aims to determine the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on the serum uric acid (SUA) levels of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Asia. METHODS PubMed, CENTRAL, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomized controlled trials of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM up to 15 July 2021, without language or date restrictions. RESULTS In total, 19 high-quality studies (4218 participants) were included in the present network meta-analysis. All of the included SGLT-2 inhibitors (empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, ipragliflozin, luseogliflozin and tofogliflozin) significantly decreased SUA levels compared with those of the control [total standard mean difference -0.965, 95% CI (-1.029, -0.901), p = .000, I2 = 98.7%] in patients with T2DM. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression showed that the combined analysis of different inhibitors might lead to heterogeneity of the results. Therefore, among the SGLT-2 inhibitors, the results of the subsequent network meta-analysis revealed that luseogliflozin and dapagliflozin ranked the highest in terms of lowering SUA levels among the SGLT-2 inhibitors. Moreover, the network meta-analysis declared that luseogliflozin (1 and 10 mg) and dapagliflozin (5 mg) led to a superior reduction in SUA in patients with T2DM. CONCLUSIONS SGLT-2 inhibitors could significantly reduce SUA levels in patients with T2DM, particularly luseogliflozin (1 and 10 mg) and dapagliflozin (5 mg) possess the best effects. Therefore, SGLT-2 inhibitors look extremely promising as an antidiabetes treatment option in patients with T2DM with high SUA.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) tend to exhibit a high prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) that may vary by whether PA is unilateral or bilateral, and responsive to PA treatment. To explore relationships between bone metabolism, PA subtypes, and treatment outcomes, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for clinical studies related to PA and bone metabolism markers. Articles that met the criteria were screened and included in the systematic review; the data were extracted after evaluating their quality. R software (ver. 2022-02-16, Intel Mac OS X 11.6.4) was used for the meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 28 articles were subjected to systematic review, of which 18 were included in the meta-analysis. We found that PA patients evidenced a lower serum calcium level (mean difference [MD] = -0.06 mmol/L, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.10 ~ -0.01), a higher urine calcium level (MD = 1.29 mmol/24 h, 95% CI: 0.81 ~ 1.78), and a higher serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level (MD = 2.16 pmol/L, 95% CI: 1.57 ~ 2.75) than did essential hypertension (EH) subjects. After medical treatment or adrenal surgery, PA patients exhibited a markedly increased serum calcium level (MD = -0.08 mmol/L, 95% CI: -0.11 ~ -0.05), a decreased urine calcium level (MD = 1.72 mmol/24 h, 95% CI: 1.00 ~ 2.44), a decreased serum PTH level (MD = 2.67 pmol/L, 95% CI: 1.73 ~ 3.62), and an increased serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) level (MD = -6.32 nmol/L, 95% CI: -11.94 ~ -0.70). The meta-analysis showed that the ser um PTH level of unilateral PA patients was significantly higher than that of bilateral PA patients (MD = 0.93 pmol/L, 95% CI: 0.36 ~ 1.49) and the serum 25-OHD lower than that of bilateral PA patients (MD = -4.68 nmol/L, 95% CI: -7.58 ~ 1.77). There were, however, no significant differences between PA and EH patients of 25-OHD, or BMD of femoral neck and lumbar spine. BMDs of the femoral neck or lumbar spine did not change significantly after treatment. The meta-analytical results were confirmed via sensitivity and subgroup analyses. CONCLUSION Excess aldosterone was associated with decreased serum calcium, elevated urinary calcium, and elevated PTH levels; these effects may be enhanced by low serum 25-OHD levels. The risks of OP and fracture might be elevated in PA patients, especially unilateral PA patients, but could be reduced after medical treatment or adrenal surgery. In view, however, of the lack of BMD changes, such hypothesis needs to be tested in further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overweight and obesity are well-known risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The effect of the maximum body mass index (BMImax), which indicates the highest body weight before the diagnosis of T2DM, is not fully understood. This study aimed to explore the predictive value of BMImax in the progression of diabetes. METHODS This prospective study recruited 2018 subjects with normal glucose tolerance in Beijing, China. The subjects were followed up for eight years, and the association between BMImax and glucose outcomes was evaluated. RESULTS Ninety-seven of the 2,018 participants developed diabetes by the end of the study. Compared to individuals with normal glucose tolerance, those who developed diabetes were characterized by higher levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h postload glucose (PBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), a higher prevalence of a familial history of diabetes and a lower level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c). Multivariate regression analysis of sex-stratified groups suggested that FPG, HbA1c, SBP and familial history of diabetes were independent risk factors for diabetes, but that BMImax was a unique indicator for female patients. CONCLUSIONS BMImax might be an independent predictor of T2DM in females, but it does not seem to be associated with the risk of diabetes in males. BMImax could be regarded as an indicator in the prevention and management of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) presents with a marked female preponderance, but whether the sex difference in its distribution has any relevance to the presentation and outcome of the disease is unknown. The aim of this study was therefore to compare biochemical indices of hypercortisolism and impaired glucose metabolism between male and female patients with MACS. METHOD We enrolled a total of 98 patients with autonomous/possible autonomous cortisol secretion in our study, and indices of hypercortisolism and glucose metabolism were collected and compared between the male and female patients. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between sex and cortisol-secretory ability, as well as between the latter and glucose metabolism. In addition, we conducted further stratified analyses according to the degree of autonomous cortisol secretion and menopausal status. RESULTS Cortisol levels at 00:00 and 08:00 h after a 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and low-dose DST were significantly higher in female than in male MACS patients, and the inhibition rate of 1-mg DST was lower in the women than in the men. This significant difference still remained after adjusting for age, BMI, and the course of the disease. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between autonomous cortisol secretion and fasting C-peptide, as well as with the C-peptide-to-glucose ratio in females relative to male patients. In addition, stratified analyses indicated that this association was observed only among women with autonomous cortisol secretion and who were premenopausal. CONCLUSION The level of autonomic cortisol secretion in female patients with MACS was higher than in male patients, and the association between autonomous cortisol secretory ability and glucose homeostasis was only noted in patients with autonomous cortisol secretion and in premenopausal women. This phenomenon will, however, require closer follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A simple and readily available biomarker can provide an effective approach for the surveillance of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the elderly. In this research, we aim to evaluate the role of triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio as an indicator for new-onset T2DM in an elderly Chinese population aged over 75 years. METHODS This longitudinal retrospective cohort study was conducted using a free database from a health check screening project in China. Participants with baseline TG and HDL measurements were enrolled, and the data of T2DM development were collected. The cumulative incident T2DM rates in different quintile groups of TG/HDL-C ratio (Q1 to Q5) were calculated and plotted. The independent effect of baseline TG/HDL-C ratio on T2DM risk during the follow-up period was tested by the Cox proportional hazard model. Subgroup analysis was also conducted to clarify the role of TG/HDL-C ratio in specific populations. RESULTS A total of 231 individuals developed T2DM among 2,571 subjects aged over 75 years during follow-up. Regardless of adjustment for potential confounding variables, elevated TG/HDL-C ratio independently indicated a higher risk of incident T2DM [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.14-1.47; P < 0.01. As compared with the lowest quintile (Q1), elevated TG/HDL-C ratio quintiles (Q2 to Q5) were associated with larger HR estimates of incident T2DM [HR (95% CI), 1.35 (0.85-2.17), 1.31 (0.83-2.06), 1.85 (1.20-2.85), and 2.10 (1.38-3.20), respectively]. In addition, a non-linear correlation was found between TG/HDL-C ratio and the risk of T2DM, and the slope of the curve decreased after the cutoff point of 2.54. Subgroup analysis revealed a stronger positive correlation among male individuals and those with body mass index <24 kg/m2. CONCLUSIONS Increased TG/HDL-C ratio indicates a greater risk of new-onset T2DM regardless of confounding variables. TG/HDL-C ratio is a simple but effective indicator in predicting T2DM in older adults. More future investigations are warranted to further promote the clinical application of TG/HDL-C ratio.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The changes of endothelial function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are closely associated with the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, it is still unclear whether commonly used antidiabetic drugs can improve endothelial function. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a noninvasive tool for evaluating endothelial function, which typically examines changes in the brachial artery diameter in response to ischemia using ultrasound. We performed a network meta-analysis (NMA) to explore the associations between changes in endothelial function and antidiabetic drugs by evaluating FMD in T2DM patients. METHODS We systematically searched several electronic databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from inception until January 25, 2022 with no language restriction. The primary outcome was FMD change in all studies, and we performed subgroup analysis in T2DM patients without CVD. NMA was performed to calculate the mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS From the 1,987 candidate articles identified in the initial search, 30 RCTs were eventually included in the analysis. In all studies, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists [MD = 3.70 (1.39-5.97)], TZD [MD = 1.96 (0.006-3.89)] produced improvement of FMD change compared to lifestyle intervention. GLP-1R agonists [MD = 3.33 (1.36-5.34) and MD = 3.30 (1.21-5.43)] showed significantly greater improvements in FMD change in pairwise comparisons with sulfonylureas and placebo. SGLT-2i also showed efficacy compared to sulfonylureas (MD = 1.89, 95% CI, 0.10, 3.75). In studies of T2DM patients without CVD, GLP-1R agonists [MD = 3.53 (1.24-5.76)], and TZD [MD = 2.30 (0.27-3.24)] produced improvements in FMD change compared to lifestyle treatment. GLP-1R agonists [MD = 3.25 (1.13-5.40), and MD = 3.85 (1.68-6.13)] showed significantly greater improvements in pairwise comparisons with sulfonylureas, and placebo. CONCLUSION In T2DM patients, both GLP-1R agonists, SGLT-2i and TZD have favorable effects to improve endothelial function in T2DM patients. In T2DM patients without CVD, GLP-1R agonists had a greater effect to improve endothelial function than sulfonylureas. These suggested that GLP-1R agonists are associated with significantly improved endothelial function in T2DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with normoalbuminuria and a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) account for a considerable proportion of type 2 diabetes patients. The aim of this research was to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of normoalbuminuric kidney disease in a Chinese population. METHODS We included 8131 diabetic patients from a multicenter prospective study in China. Based on eGFR and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), participants were stratified into four groups-normal albuminuria, albuminuria, normoalbuminuria with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 , and albuminuria with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Clinical parameters and characteristics of patients with normoalbuminuria and eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1060 out of 8131 individuals with diabetes had decreased eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ). Normoalbuminuria accounted for 63.3% of participants with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 , and microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria accounted for 30.1% and 6.3%, respectively. Patients with normoalbuminuria and reduced eGFR were more frequently male, older, and had higher levels of triglycerides than patients with normal albuminuria and eGFR. We also detected a correlation between lower extremity arterial disease, newly diagnosed diabetes, and normoalbuminuria-reduced eGFR. Compared with participants with both albuminuria and eGFR decline, those with normoalbuminuria had better metabolic indicators, including systolic blood pressure and glycosylated hemoglobin, and shorter diabetes duration. Even in the normal range, UACR has a significant correlation with the risk of eGFR insufficiency. CONCLUSIONS Normoalbuminuric renal insufficiency, characterized by male sex, older age, a higher level of triglyceride levels, and a higher risk of lower extremity arterial disease, accounted for a dominant proportion of diabetic patients with eGFR decline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fetal macrosomia is defined as a birth weight more than 4,000 g and is associated with maternal and fetal complications. This early metabolic disease may influence the entire life of the infant. Currently, macrosomia is predicted by using the estimated fetal weight (EFW). However, the EFW is inaccurate when the gestational week is gradually increasing. To assess precisely the risk of macrosomia, we developed a new predictive model to estimate the risk of macrosomia. METHODS We continuously collected data on 655 subjects who attended regular antenatal visits and delivered at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University (Shijiazhuang, China) from November 2020 to September 2021. A total of 17 maternal features and 2 fetal ultrasonographic features were included at late-term pregnancy. The 655 subjects were divided into a model training set and an internal validation set. Then, 450 pregnant women were recruited from Handan Central Hospital (Handan, China) from November 2021 to March 2022 as the external validation set. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method was used to select the most appropriate predictive features and optimize them via 10-fold cross-validation. The multivariate logistical regressions were used to build the predictive model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, C-indices, and calibration plots were obtained to assess model discrimination and accuracy. The model's clinical utility was evaluated via decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Four predictors were finally included to develop this new model: prepregnancy obesity (prepregnancy body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2), hypertriglyceridemia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and fetal abdominal circumference. This model afforded moderate predictive power [area under the ROC curve 0.788 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.736, 0.840) for the training set, 0.819 (95% CI 0.744,0.894) for the internal validation set, and 0.773 (95% CI 0.713,0.833) for the external validation set]. On DCA, the model evidenced a good fit with, and positive net benefits for, both the internal and external validation sets. CONCLUSIONS We developed a predictive model for macrosomia and performed external validation in other regions to further prove the discrimination and accuracy of this predictive model. This novel model will aid clinicians in easily identifying those at high risk of macrosomia and assist obstetricians to plan accordingly.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of bilateral superior cervical ganglionectomy on cardiac remodeling and function in pressure-overloaded heart failure (HF) mice. Methods: Pressure-overloaded HF mouse model was produced by severe thoracic aorta banding (sTAB). Bilateral superior cervical ganglionectomy (SCGx) was performed 2 weeks after sTAB. Twenty four 6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomized divided into 4 groups (n=6 each): control group: sham sTAB+sham SCGx; denervated group: sham sTAB+SCGx; HF group: sTAB+sham SCGx; denervated HF group: sTAB+SCGx. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography at week 0, 1, 2, and 4 after sTAB, respectively. All mice were sacrificed at the end of week 4 and heart tissues were harvested. HE and Masson staining were performed. Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), adrenergic receptor β1 (AR-β1) and CD68 was performed. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression level of TH, B type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and AR-β1. Results: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) declined continuously in HF group. LVEF was similar between denervated HF group and control group at various time points (P>0.05). LVEF was significantly higher in denervated HF group than in HF group at the end of week 4 (P<0.05). HE staining showed that cross sectional cardiomyocyte area was significantly larger in HF group than in control group and denervated HF group (P<0.05), which was similar between denervated HF group and control group (P>0.05). Masson staining showed that fibrosis level was significantly lower in denervated HF group than in HF group (P<0.05). IHC showed that TH+nerves and CD68+ macrophages were significantly increased in HF mice as compared to control mice (P<0.05), whereas this change was abolished in denervated HF group. AR-β1 was significantly down-regulated in HF group compared with control group (P<0.05), which was not affected by denervation (P>0.05). Western blot demonstrated that the expression level of TH and BNP was significantly higher in HF group compared with the control group (P<0.05), whereas this difference was diminished in denervated HF group (P>0.05). Conclusion: Bilateral superior cervical ganglionectomy can reduce sympathetic innervation and macrophage infiltration in pressure overloaded failure heart, thus attenuate cardiac remodeling and improve cardiac function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the efficacy of pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) therapy in patients with hypogonadism caused by hypopituitarism so as to guide clinical treatment. METHODS Clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, and imaging features were collected from 22 patients with hypopituitarism that led to hypogonadism who were treated with pulsatile GnRH. Data were analyzed and the patients were followed up. RESULTS The average age at which patients began to use pulsatile GnRH was 22.8±3.7 years old. The duration of pulsatile GnRH administration ranged from 3 to 60 months, with an average of 20.5±12.1 months. The dosage of GnRH administered was 10-12 µg/90 minutes. Patients were followed up for 26-81 months, with an average of 50.5±17.3 months. After pulsatile GnRH treatment, the clinical manifestations and hormone levels of these patients improved to varying degrees. The luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone (T) levels of 7 patients increased to the normal range, sperm could be detected in seminal fluid samples of 5 patients, and 2 patients successfully reproduced. Within the good-response group, 71.4% of patients achieved spermatogenesis within an average of 13 months of treatment. In patients who had poor response to gonadotropin therapy prior to pulsatile GnRH therapy, 25% achieved spermatogenesis, and 37.5% reached the normal range of LH and T. The levels of LH after pulsatile GnRH treatment was positively correlated with the peak levels of LH and testicular volume prior to treatment (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Pulsatile GnRH therapy can improve gonadal function in most patients with hypogonadism caused by hypopituitarism. Patients were able to achieve spermatogenesis, especially in patients who were poor-responders to gonadotropin treatment. Patients with greater basal testicular volume may respond better to pulsatile GnRH treatment. The GnRH stimulation test not only helps to evaluate the reserve function of pituitary GnRH cells at a certain time but may also serve as a prognostic factor. The results of this study form a basis for guiding clinical therapeutic choices.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), which are important causes of disabling and death in patients with T2DM. For the prevention and management of ASCVD or CKD, cardiovascular risk factors should be systematically evaluated, and ASCVD and CKD should be screened in patients with T2DM. In this consensus, we recommended that metformin should be used as the first-line therapy for patients with T2DM and ASCVD or very high cardiovascular risk, heart failure (HF) or CKD, and should be retained in the treatment regimen unless contraindicated or not tolerated. In patients with T2DM and established ASCVD or very high cardiovascular risk, addition of a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) or sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor with proven cardiovascular benefits should be considered independent of individualised glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C ) targets. In patients with T2DM and HF, an SGLT2 inhibitor should be preferably added regardless of HbA1C levels. In patients with T2DM and CKD, SGLT2 inhibitors should be preferred for the combination therapy independent of individualised HbA1C targets, and GLP-1RAs with proven renal benefits would be alternative if SGLT2 inhibitors are contraindicated. Moreover, the prevention of hypoglycaemia and management of multiple risk factors by comprehensive regimen, including lifestyle intervention, antihypertensive therapies, lipid-lowering treatment and antiplatelet therapies, should be kept in mind in treating patients with T2DM and ASCVD, HF or CKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although diabetes is associated with hypertension, whether high blood glucose levels promote hypertension remains controversial. In this study we compared the predictive power of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for the development of hypertension. METHODS This study was a substudy of the REACTION study, an ongoing longitudinal cohort study investigating the relationship of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes with the risk of cancer in an urban Northern Chinese population in Beijing. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) after adjustment for risk factors for hypertension, including age, sex, body mass index, and triglycerides. RESULTS Among the 3437 participants, 497 developed hypertension during the 4-year follow-up. The logistic regression analysis showed that elevated FPG and 2hPG levels (FPG: OR 1.529; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.348-1.735; 2hPG: OR 1.144; 95% CI 1.100-1.191), but not HbA1c, were independent risk factors for the development of hypertension. In the highest quartile of FPG and 2hPG levels, the multivariable-corrected ORs were 2.115 (95% CI 1.612-2.777) and 2.346 (95% CI 1.787-3.080), respectively, compared with the lowest quartile. The adjusted models showed no significant correlations between quartile HbA1c levels and the development of hypertension. CONCLUSION Higher FPG and 2hPG levels, but not HbA1c levels, are independent risk factors for developing hypertension in an urban Northern Chinese population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is a rare form of adrenal mass. We summarize our experience in its clinical presentation, biochemical indexes, radiological features, pathological information, therapy regimens, and outcomes. METHODS This was an institutional review board-approved retrospective review of medical records and surgical pathology specimens of patients with a diagnosis of PAL at the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital and the First Affiliate Hospital of Xiamen University between July 2007 and July 2017. RESULTS Twenty-six patients were identified. The mean age at presentation was 60.84 ± 13.14 years with a male-to-female ratio of 2.25:1 (18:8). The most common presenting symptoms were loss of appetite (65%, 17/26), weight loss (62%, 16/26), abdominal pain (58%, 15/26), and fatigue (58%, 15/26). The levels of lactate dehydrogenase (75%, 15/20), β2-microglobulin (100%, 10/10), C-reactive protein (82%, 14/17), and ferritin (88%, 7/8) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (83%, 10/12) were elevated. Bilateral involvement was seen in 21 of 26 patients (81%); 12 of 19 evaluated patients with bilateral lesions (63%) were confirmed to have adrenal insufficiency. On computed tomography (CT), the mean tumor diameter was 7.31 ± 3.35 cm and the median Hounsfield density was 37.0 HU (range: 31.0-45.0 HU); 67% (10/15) and 27% (4/15) of lesions presented with mild and moderate enhancement after injection of contrast medium. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET)-CT revealed not only an adrenal tumor but also extra-adrenal lesions. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the most common phenotype (92%, 24/26). Ninety-two percent (24/26) of patients received chemotherapy while 8% (2/26) received unilateral adrenalectomy plus chemotherapy. The prognosis of PAL was poor, with a general survival time of 7.20 ± 5.18 months. CONCLUSION PAL is a rare disease. The clinical characteristics of PAL include loss of appetite and weight loss. Endocrine evaluation should be performed to determine whether patients have adrenal insufficiency, especially patients with bilateral lesions. FDG-PET appears to be more accurate than other imaging modalities in revealing extra-adrenal sites. Better therapy is required to improve the poor prognosis of PAL.

Abstract
CONTEXT Thyroid hormone influences glucose homeostasis through central and peripheral regulations. To date, the link between sensitivity to thyroid hormones and prediabetes remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the association between thyroid hormones sensitivity and risk of prediabetes in both general and euthyroid populations. METHODS Participants with serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), and thyrotropin (TSH) measurements from the health checkup programs of the First Hospital of China Medical University were collected. We measured the parameters representing central and peripheral sensitivities to thyroid hormones (central sensitivity, assessed by calculating Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index (TFQI), TSH Index (TSHI), and Thyrotroph Thyroxine Resistance Index (TT4RI); peripheral sensitivity, evaluated by FT3/FT4 ratio). Associations between thyroid hormones sensitivities and risk of prediabetes were assessed with logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 4378 participants (mean age ± SD, 49 ± 11 years) were included, with 1457 (33%) subjects had prediabetes. The risk of prediabetes was negatively associated with levels of TSHI (odds ratio [OR] 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85-0.97), TT4RI (OR 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84-0.99) and Parametric TFQI (PTFQI) (OR 0.89; 95% CI, 0.83-0.95) among all subjects. The association remained significant in euthyroid subjects and euthyroid subjects with negative thyroid autoimmunity. Higher FT3/FT4 ratio was associated with a mild increased risk of prediabetes (95% CI 1.09; 1.02-1.16). Compared with subjects in the lowest quartile of PTFQI, those in the highest quartile had lower risk of prediabetes (0.70; 95% CI, 0.58-0.84). CONCLUSIONS Decreased central sensitivity to thyroid hormones is associated with lower risk of prediabetes. This demonstrates the complex interaction between thyroid system and glucose metabolism. Future studies are warranted to confirm our findings and underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that the ratio of triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (TG/HDL-C) is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study was to investigate the nonlinear relationship between TG/HDL-C and the incidence of T2DM in a Chinese population. METHODS We used logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the incidence of T2DM among 7,791 participants from the Risk Evaluation of cAncers in Chinese diabeTic Individuals: a lONgitudinal (REACTION) cohort study at baseline. RESULTS After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol intake, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, strenuous activity, education level, family histories of T2DM and tumors, and the presence of hypertension, tumor, stroke, and coronary heart disease, we showed that TG/HDL-C was positively associated with the incidence of T2DM at the 4-year follow-up (OR = 1.49, 95%CI = 1.26-1.78). TG/HDL-C and incidence of T2DM showed a nonlinear relationship; the inflection point of TG/HDL-C was 1.50. The ORs (95% CI) on the left and right sides of the inflection point were 2.50 (1.70-3.67) and 0.96 (0.67-1.37), respectively. After adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) in the linear relationship, the OR of the incidence of T2DM was 1.60 (95%CI = 1.37-1.87). When the TG/HDL-C was less than 1.50 or greater than 1.76, the ORs (95% CI) were 2.41 (1.82-3.18) or 0.81 (0.53-1.25), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed no relationships of T2DM incidence with sex, BMI, family history of T2DM, or TG/HDL-C. CONCLUSION TG/HDL-C is positively associated with diabetes risk. In our study, with each increasing quintile, the risk of T2DM after 4 years was 1.60 or 1.49 depending on the variables adjusted. In addition, our cohort study showed a nonlinear relationship between TG/HDL-C and T2DM incidence, with an inflection point of 1.76 or 1.50, depending on the variables adjusted. When the TG/HDL was less than 1.50, the ORs (95% CI) were 2.41 (1.82-3.18) and 2.50 (1.70-3.67). When the TG/HDL-C was greater than 1.76 or 1.50, there was no significant difference in the change in OR.

Abstract
PURPOSE Genetic mutations may play an important role in the progression and invasion of thyroid carcinoma (TC), and their coexistence may result in mutational synergy. The presence of the BRAFV600E mutation, as well as mutations affecting the TERT promoter, RAS, CHEK2 and RET/PTC, may all have an impact on prognosis. The aim of this study was to explore whether synergy between the coexistent mutations predicts histopathological prognostic factors that influence disease outcome. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library, from their inception until January 2020. Primary outcomes included: disease stage, lymph node metastasis, extrathyroidal extension and distant metastasis; while, secondary outcomes included: tumor recurrence, mortality, invasion of thyroid capsule, multiplicity, presented as an odds ratio (OR) with 95% credible intervals (CrI). RESULTS 27 publications (comprising 9 active intervention arms), involving 8,388 TC patients, were selected. Network meta-analytic estimates of active interventions contrasted with other active interventions, with random effects, were calculated. In terms of outcomes focus on overall TC, BRAFV600E + TERT co-mutation ranked highest for diseases stage (OR = 5.74, 95% CrI: 3.09-10.66), as well as lymph node metastasis, extrathyroidal extension (5.74, 4.06-8.10), tumor recurrence (7.21, 3.59-14.47), and invasion of the thyroid capsule (3.11, 1.95-4.95). BRAFV600E + TERT co-mutation ranked secondary in distant metastasis, mortality, and multiplicity that ranked highest was TERT+RAS or RAS. When we were limited to the study of patients with papillary TC (PTC), BRAFV600E + TERT always ranked highest for primary outcomes: disease stage (6.39, 3.13-13.04), lymph node metastasis, extrathyroidal extension (5.80,3.89-8.64) and distant metastasis (7.33, 3.00-17.89), while BRAFV600E + TERT again ranked highest in secondary outcomes: tumor recurrence (7.23,3.37-15.51), mortality (9.26, 3.02-28.42), invasion of thyroid capsule (3.20,2.01-5.11), and multiplicity. CONCLUSIONS In this molecular marker mutation-based systematic review and network meta-analysis, we found that coexistent BRAFV600E + TERT genetic co-mutations predicted poor histopathological prognosis, including progression, invasion, and metastasis, especially in PTC. For the overall TC, the BRAFV600E + TERT + RAS triple mutations may have a greater impact on the prognosis, and further research should related to potentially important features. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42019143242.

Abstract
Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) has the highest incidence among all thyroid carcinomas. Although surgery is the primary treatment for PTMC, it inevitably leads to trauma and some complications. To formulate an optimal treatment strategy, we aim to clarify the risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in PTMC patients. This study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent thyroidectomy during 1995-2015, and grouped them according to lymph node metastasis. Age, gender, tumor size, thyroid functions, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, multifocal tumor, extrathyroidal extensions, capsular invasion were analyzed. Of the 2434 PTMC subjects, proportion of patients with no LNM (NLNM), LNM, central LNM (CLNM), lateral LNM (LLNM), CLNM + LLNM were 82.9%, 17.1%, 7.0%, 7.6% and 2.5%. Patients with NLNM were older and had a lower proportion of males compared to patients with CLNM, LLNM and CLNM + LLNM (p < 0.05). The NLNM group also had a smaller size of ultrasound tumor, lower proportion of multifocal tumor and extrathyroidal extension compared to CLNM, LLNM and CLNM + LLNM groups (p < 0.05). On univariate analyses, male gender, age <45 years, tumor size of pathology (˃0.75 cm), multifocality, and extrathyroidal extension were significantly associated with LNM. Multivariate analyses revealed that male gender, age <45 years, multifocality were risk factors for LNM. In conclusion, PTMC patients with male gender, age <45 years and multifocality should be evaluated carefully for possible LNM.

Abstract
Background Primary bilateral macronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia (PBMAH) is a rare condition with untypical subclinical symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome (CS). This study aimed to compare the clinical and pathological features of PBMAH with unilateral cortisol-secreting adrenal adenoma (UAA). Methods We prospectively included 46 PBMAH patients and 205 UAA patients from January 2000 to February 2014. Cortisol levels and 24 hours urine free cortisol (UFC) were determined at baseline and during dexamethasone suppression test (DST) using the chemiluminescence method. Computed tomography (CT) examination of the adrenal glands was performed in all patients. For patients treated with adrenalectomy, hematoxylin, and eosin, staining was performed for pathological examination. Results The proportion of patients with autonomous cortisol secretion was significantly higher in PBMAH patients (39.1%) than UAA patients (6.8%). The PBMAH patients showed significantly lower levels of basal cortisol, low dose dexamethasone suppressed cortisol, and high dose dexamethasone suppressed cortisol than the UAA patients (452.6±183.3 vs. 578.7±166.4 nmol/L, P=0.003; 394.5±298.9 vs. 549.2±217.7 nmol/L, P=0.002; 397.3±282.3 vs. 544.3±187.6 nmol/L, P=0.003). Similarly, the PBMAH patients had significantly lower levels of basal 24 hours UFC, low dose dexamethasone suppressed 24 hours UFC, and high dose dexamethasone suppressed 24 hours UFC than the UAA patients (1,144.4±1,048.1 vs. 1,674.9±1,520.4 nmol/24 h, P=0.032; 1,157.3±1,483.5 vs. 1,940.1±1,360.9 nmol/24 h, P=0.003; 1,256.4±1,767.0 vs. 1,969.9±1,361.7 nmol/24 h, P=0.011). Conclusions PBMAH is often associated with atypical CS symptoms. The clinical and imaging features of PBMAH are useful for the differential diagnosis of this disease.

Abstract
The anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) has been suggested to be more common in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Here, we performed a retrospective study investigated the correlation between TgAb level and PTC in Chinese patients between 2011 and 2015. Patients with goiter who underwent thyroidectomy and received a confirmed pathological diagnosis were enrolled into the study. Clinical characteristics and preoperative thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) level data were collected from all enrolled patients. Based on the preoperative TgAb test results, patients were divided into a TgAb negative (TgAb-) group (<60 IU/mL) and a TgAb positive (TgAb+) group (≧60 IU/mL). Of the 4,046 patients, 671 patients were TgAb+ while 3,375 patients were TgAb-. There were 535 (79.7%) patients with PTC in the TgAb+ group, and 2,154 (63.8%) patients with PTC in the TgAb- group. The prevalance of PTC was significantly higher in TgAb+ patients than in TgAb- patients. TgAb+ patients were stratified into four groups based on the TgAb titer. The prevalence of PTC did not increase with TgAb titer. No significant difference in TgAb level was noted in patients with different clinicopathologies, including TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and multifocal carcinoma. Regression analysis suggested a higher risk of PTC malignancy among TgAb+ patients. Preoperative TgAb level ≥60 IU/mL might be associated with a higher risk of PTC. However, there was no titer-dependent association between elevated TgAb titer and PTC malignancy.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the association between excess body mass index (BMI) and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) in an operative population, and the impact of higher BMI on clinicopathological aggressiveness of PTC.Charts of 10,844 consecutive patients with thyroid nodules undergoing partial or total thyroidectomy between 1993 and 2015 were reviewed. Patients diagnosed with PTC were stratified in 4 groups: BMI < 18.5 (underweight), 18.5 ≤ BMI < 24 (normal-weight), 24 ≤ BMI < 28 (overweight) and BMI ≥ 28(obese). The impacts of high BMI on prevalence and clinicopathological parameters of PTC were retrospectively analyzed in both univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis.For every 5-unit increase in body mass, the odds of risk-adjusted malignance increased by 36.6%. The individuals who were obese and overweight were associated with high risk of thyroid cancer [odds ratio (OR)= 1.982, P < .001; OR= 1.377, P < .001; respectively] compared to normal weight patients, and this positive association was found in both genders. Obesity was independent predictors for tumors larger than 1 cm (OR = 1.562, P < .001) and multifocality (OR = 1.616, P < .001). However, there was no difference in cervical lymph node (LN) metastasis among BMI groups. Crude analysis showed BMI was associated with advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage (relative risk, approximately 1.23 per 5 BMI units, P < .001), but this association disappeared after adjusting for confounding factors.Obesity was significantly associated with the risk of PTC in a large, operative population. Higher BMI was significantly associated with larger tumor size and multifocal tumor.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is now a common public health problem. Few researches have reported the relationship between MetS and the risk of renal cell cancer (RCC). To investigate the association of metabolic syndrome and its components with the risk of RCC in Chinese males, the study was performed in the Kailuan male cohort, a large prospective cohort study.
Methods
A total of 104,333 eligible males enrolled in the every 2-year health checkup were involved in the Kailuan male cohort study (2006-2015). Information on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, lifestyle, medical history and laboratory tests at baseline entry was obtained. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association between MetS and the RCC risk.
Results
During a median follow-up of 8.9 years, 131 RCC cases were verified over a total of 824,211.96 person-years. Among the 5 single MetS components, hypertension (Systolic/diastolic blood pressure≥130/85 mm Hg or antihypertensive drug treatment of previously hypertension) (HR = 2.35, 95%CI:1.48-3.72) and elevated triglyceride (TG) (≥1.7mmol/L) (HR = 1.78, 95%CI:1.23-2.56) showed significant risk for RCC. Multivariate analysis showed that compared to those who did not meet MetS diagnostic criteria (number of abnormal MetS components<3), HR of RCC risk for participants with MetS was 1.95 (95% CI 1.35-2.83). The number of abnormal MetS components was linearly associated with an increased risk of RCC (P trend<0.001), and the HRs of RCC risk for males with 1, 2 and ≥3 MetS components were 1.27 (0.56-2.90), 2.42 (1.12-5.20) and 3.32 (1.56-7.07), respectively, compared with subjects without MetS components.
Conclusions
MetS was inversely associated with of RCC risk in males.
Key messages
MetS might be one of the scientific and important predictors of RCC. Controlling metabolic syndrome may potentially have key scientific and clinical significance for RCC prevention.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the incidence and severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants by strictly controlling the risk factors of ROP, such as oxygen inhalation after birth, to explore the related factors of ROP in ELBW infants. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. 166 ELBW infants underwent neonatal screening were enrolled in this study, whose birth weight was less than 1 000 g. There were 79 males and 87 females infants, whose average gestational age was (27.99±1.73)weeks, and average birth weight was (904.45±80.23)g. According to the final screening results, the ELBW infants were grouped as follows: (1)ROP group and non-ROP group; (2)severe ROP group and mild or no ROP group. Risk factors included gestational age, birth weight, test-tube infants, fetuses number, complications during pregnancy, delivery mode and Apgar scores in 1 to 10 minutes, weight and weight gain proportion at 1-6 weeks after birth, postnatal feeding mode, history of oxygen inhalation, anemia and blood transfusion, and other systemic diseases were recorded. And their correlation with severe ROP was analyzed by SPSS 20.0 statistical software. Results: Ninty-four (56.63%) ELBW infants developed ROP, 16 (9.64%) were severe ROP and 14(8.43%) received treatment. Average birth weight between ROP group (911.95±72.80)g and non-ROP group (894.67±88.58)g had no difference(t=1.379, P=0.170). Average gestational age between ROP group (27.49±1.53) weeks and non-ROP group (28.64±1.76) weeks had significant difference(t=-4.491,P<0.001).And pregnancy-induced hypertension during pregnancy (χ(2)=4.479, P=0.034), Apgar score in 5 minutes (t=-2.760, P=0.006) and 10 minutes (t=-2.099, P=0.043), pneumonia (χ(2)=6.233, P=0.013), neonatal pneumonia (χ(2)=18.026, P<0.001) had significant difference between ROP group and non-ROP group. There was no effect on weight (F=0.009,P=0.753) or weight gain proportion (F=2.394,P=0.124) at 1-6 weeks after birth in ELBW infants with or without ROP. Average birth weight between severe ROP group(875.63±74.85)g and mild or no ROP group(907.53±80.41)g had no difference(t=-1.518, P=0.131).Average gestational age between severe ROP group(26.88±1.31)weeks and mild or no ROP group (28.11±1.73)weeks had significant difference(t=-2.766,P=0.006).And only fundus hemorrhage (χ(2)=4.507,P=0.034) had significant difference between severe ROP group and mild or no ROP group. There was no effect on weight (F=2.683,P=0.103) or weight gain proportion (F=0.431,P=0.513) at 1-6 weeks after birth in ELBW infants with or without ROP. Logistic regression analysis revealed that only gestational age was correlated to the incidence (β=-0.437,P<0.001) and severity (β=-0.616,P=0.007) of ROP significantly. Conclusion: By strictly controlling the risk factors of ROP, such as oxygen inhalation after birth, the severe rate of ROP in ELBW infants is low. However, gestational age is still the inevitable independent high risk factor for the incidence of ROP in ELBW infants. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2019, 55:280-288).

OBJECTIVES This study aims to summarise the features and trends of thyroid carcinoma in the past two decades in China. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Clinical data obtained from 10 798 patients treated by thyroidectomy from 1994 to 2015 at the Department of General Surgery of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital, Beijing, China were retrospectively analysed. OUTCOME MEASURES Incidence and histopathological features of thyroid cancer were compared and the risk factors for local lymph node metastasis analysed. RESULTS Our data indicated a significant increase in the detection of thyroid cancer (from 16.8% to 69.8%, p<0.01). Among the 5235 thyroid cancer cases, papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) was the most common histotype, accounting for 95.1% of all malignancies over the 22-year period. Among the 4979 PTCs, micro-PTCs (mPTC) with the largest diameter ≤10 mm has gradually become the dominant form, and its percentage in PTCs has increased from 13.3% in the biennial period of 1994-1995 to 51.2% in 2010-2011. Furthermore, the size of the tumour has decreased significantly from 2.3±1.1 cm in 1994 to 1.2±0.9 cm in the largest diameter (p<0.01), while the average age at diagnosis and female dominance remained unchanged during the period. Logistic regression showed that tumour nodules>1 cm and male gender were the main risk factors for local lymph node metastasis (LNM), whereas patients over 45 years had lower risk. CONCLUSIONS During the 22-year period, an increased detection of thyroid cancer, particularly mPTC, was found while the occurrence of LNM decreased. Our results suggest that the current preoperative diagnosis and risk stratification are adequate, supporting the published guidelines for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Chronic inflammation contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus by targeting the insulin receptor substrate protein-1 (IRS-1) signaling pathway. Previous studies showed that Leukemia related protein 16 (LRP16) reduced insulin stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes by impairing the IRS-1 signaling pathway. We explored the mechanism by which LRP16 promotes the inflammatory response. METHODS We screened LRP16 induced proteins in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated inflammatory response using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and analyzed the potential biological functions of these proteins using online bioinformatics tools. mRNA expression and protein expression of target genes were measured by real time PCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS A total of 390 differentially expressed proteins were identified. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway was the primary activated pathway in LRP16-expressing cells. Overexpression of LRP16 activated ERK1/2 and Rac1, which are two key players related to the MAPK signaling pathway. Furthermore, knock down of endogenous LRP16 by RNA interference (RNAi) reduced Rac1 expression, ERK activation, and inflammatory cytokine expression in human adipocytes stimulated by LPS. The stimulatory effect of LRP16 was diminished by suppressing Rac1 expression and treating the cells with the ERK specific inhibitor, PD98059. CONCLUSION These findings revealed the functions of LRP16 in promoting the inflammatory response through activating the Rac1-MAPK1/ERK pathway in human adipocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules are very common. Ultrasound (US) and fine needle aspiration (FNA) are both integral in cancer screening. This study investigated the concordance between thyroid nodule sizes measured by US and gross pathologic examination and their relationship with malignancy. METHODS A retrospective design was used to select consecutive patients with proven carcinoma of the thyroid. The number and maximum diameter of nodules, rates and types of malignancy, as well as predictors of malignancy were determined. RESULTS The 10 944 patients examined had 15 283 thyroid nodules, 44.6% of which were malignant. Of the 4449 nodules sampled by FNA and the 8748 not sampled by FNA, 76.5% and 30.5% were malignant, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (NPVs), and overall accuracy of FNA based on final pathology were 97.9%, 96.3%, 98.8%, 93.5%, and 97.5%, respectively. Nodule sizes determined by US were comparable with most nodules having either the same size range (n = 2959, 77.7%) or differing only by one size range (n = 770, 20.5%). CONCLUSIONS Thyroid nodule size is inversely related to malignancy risk, as larger nodules have lower malignancy rates. Nodule size estimated by US shows relatively good correlation with final pathologic size. However, thyroid nodules should undergo FNA regardless of size. If the FNA is not benign, nodule size should influence therapeutic decision making.

Abstract
Aminophenols, which are widely used as components of hair dye and medicine, may function as environmental endocrine disruptors by regulating the proliferation of endocrine-related cancers. Estrogen receptor α (ERα) is a key regulator of breast cancer. Recently, it was found that ERα may also participate in the transformation and progression of thyroid tumors, but its interaction with aminophenols and its function in thyroid tumors is not clear. In this study, the transcription factor activity of ERα in BHP10-3 cells (a thyroid tumor cell line) was examined using luciferase assays. The promoter recruitment of ERα was examined using chromatin co-precipitation (ChIP). Additionally, in an in vivo study, BHP10-3 cells were transplanted into nude mice. Upon administration of aminophenols, the transcription factor activity of ERα was significantly increased in BHP10-3 cells, and the recruitment of ERα to the promoter of its target gene was increased. Aminophenols enhanced the in vitro and in vivo proliferation of BHP10-3 cells. By discovering that aminophenols induce the onco-promoting activity of ERα, our study extends the understanding of the function of aminophenols and suggests that ERα is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of thyroid tumors.

Abstract
Objective: To analyse the corneal and conjunctival sensitivities of premature babies and to study the relevant influencing factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study. One hundred premature infants born at Women's Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University between May 2015 and September 2015 were enrolled, among which 51 were male (51%) and 49 were female (49%), the mean gestational age was (30.93±1.75)w, the mean corrected gestational age was (33.65±1.53)w, the mean birth weight was (1 592±336)g. The thresholds of cornea and conjunctiva of infants' left or right eyes were measured with Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer at 8-10 o'clock every morning when they naturally woke up, the minimum length of nylon wire that induced three successive times of eye-blink responses was recorded. Paired sample t test was used to compare the corneal and conjunctival sensitivities, the ocular surface sensitivities of preterm infants of different gender were compared using independent samples t-test, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the correlation of corneal and conjuncitval sensitivities with gestational age, birth weight, age and corrected gestational age. Results: The mean corneal sensitivity was (44.85±5.53) mm and the mean conjunctival sensitivity was (23.50±5.48)mm in premature babies, corneal sensitivity was significantly higher than conjunctival sensitivity (t=25.620, P<0.001). No statistical significance was found between male and female preterm infants in corneal sensitivity [(44.80±5.83) mm vs. (44.90±5.25) mm, t=-0.085, P=0.933] and conjunctival sensitivity[(23.14±5.83) mm vs. (23.88±5.13) mm, t=-0.673, P=0.502]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that corneal sensitivity was significantly associated with conjunctival sensitivity in prematurity(r=0.676, P<0.001). There was significant correlation between corneal sensitivity and age, corrected gestational age (r=0.238, P=0.017; r=0.679, P<0.001), however no significant correlation was found between corneal sensitivity and gestational age, birth weight in preterm infants (r=0.067, P=0.510; r=-0.179, P=0.075). There was significant correlation between conjunctival sensitivity and corrected gestational age (r=0.490, P<0.001), however no significant correlation was found between conjunctival sensitivity and gestational age, birth weight and age in preterm infants (r=0.078, P=0.439; r=-0.096, P=0.344; r=0.151, P=0.133). Multiple linear regression revealed that corneal sensitivity(Y1) was positively correlated with corrected gestational age(X), the regression equation was Y1=2.45X-37.52, the conjunctical sensitivity(Y2) was also positively correlated with corrected gestational age(X), the regression equation was Y2=1.75X-35.41. Conclusions: The corneal sensitivity is higher than conjunctival sensitivity in premature babies.No statistical significance is found between male and female preterm infants in corneal sensitivity and conjunctival sensitivity. The corneal sensitivity and conjunctival sensitivity are correlated with corrected gestational age in preterm infants. The corneal and conjunctival sensitivities of premature babies tend to increase along with the increase of corrected gestational age. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2018, 54: 115-119).

Abstract
RATIONALE An accessory ovary is a rare structure containing normal ovarian tissue, which has a direct or ligamentous connection with a normal and eutopic ovary. PATIENT CONCERNS In the study, we reported a 46-year-old woman presented with secondary amenorrhea and virilization symptoms for 1 year. DIAGNOSES Endocrine evaluation revealed slightly elevated serum cortisol, extremely elevated 24-hour urinary-free cortisol and serum testosterone. Clinical assessment exhibited a large solid mass with heterogeneous enhancement in the left adnexauteri compounded with hypercortisolism and hyperandrogenemia. An accessory ovarian tumor attached to the infundibulum of the left fallopian tube was found, and a separate normal ovary was present on the same side. INTERVENTIONS The patient underwent a left adnexectomy. OUTCOMES During surgery, a 12 cm × 8 cm, gray-red, and well-circumscribed solid mass was be identified. The tumor had ligamentous attachment with the infundibulum of left fallopian tube. The sectioned surface was gray-brown, lobulated and did not exhibit either significant necrosis or hemorrhage. Pathological findings demonstrated that tumor cells had small round nuclei, mild atypia, no mitosis were arranged in a diffuse pattern of columns or nests separated by a rich vascular network and no crystals of Reinke were found. It was diagnosis ovarian steroid cell tumor (NOS) without malignant behavior by immunohistochemical staining. The patient was finally diagnosed as accessory ovarian steroid. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the seventeenth day after surgery. During postoperative follow-up, the first postoperative menstrual flow recovered and blood pressure regained 1 month after surgery. Furthermore, her Cushing syndrome regressed and hirsutism disappeared completely 4 months after surgery cell tumor. LESSONS It is vitally important to establish a final diagnosis according to the clinical manifestations and laboratory values in addition to imaging studies and laparoscopic examination of a rare coexistence of hyperandrogenemia and Cushing syndrome based on the accessory ovarian pathology.

Abstract
Dysregulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) promotes cancer cell growth, invasion and metastasis. However, its relevant downstream effectors are still limited. Here, we show that EGFR promotes breast tumor growth and metastasis by downregulating the tumor suppressor micoRNA-338-3p (miR-338-3p) and activating the EYA2 (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 2) oncoprotein. EGFR represses miR-338-3p expression largely through HIF1α transcription factor. miR-338-3p inhibits EYA2 expression by binding to the 3'-untranslated region of EYA2. EGFR increases EYA2 expression via HIF1α repression of miR-338-3p. Through the miR-338-3p/EYA2 pathway, EGFR increases breast cancer cell growth, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, migration, invasion and lung metastasis in vitro and in a allograft tumor mouse model in vivo. In breast cancer patients, miR-338-3p expression negatively correlates with the expression of EGFR and EYA2, EGFR status positively associates with EYA2 expression, and miR-338-3p and EYA2 predict breast cancer lung metastasis when expressed in primary breast cancers. These data suggest that the miR-338-3p/EYA2 axis contributes to EGFR-mediated tumor growth and lung metastasis and that miR-338-3p activation or EYA2 inhibition or combination therapy targeting EGFR/miR-338-3p/EYA2 axis may be a promising way to treat patients with metastatic cancer.
