The prognostic significance of POD24 in peripheral T-cell lymphoma

BACKGROUND

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are an aggressive group of mature T-cell neoplasms, often associated with poor outcomes, in part, due to frequent relapsed/refractory disease. The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of disease progression within 24 months (POD24) on overall survival (OS) for patients diagnosed with PTCL.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of patients with newly diagnosed PTCL who underwent chemotherapy at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between January 2010 and September 2021. Prognostic assessment was limited to patients who were evaluable for POD24.

RESULTS

Records were reviewed for 106 patients with PTCL, of whom 66 patients experienced POD24 (referred to as the POD24 group) and 40 patients did not experience POD24 (referred to as the no POD24 group). Significant differences were observed between the POD24 group and the no POD24 group in regard to clinical stage, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS), International Prognostic Index (IPI) score, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels, prealbumin and albumin levels. Patients in the POD24 group had a significant shorter median OS compared to the no POD24 group (11.9 months vs not reached, respectively; P < 0.001). Non response (NR) to treatment and POD24 were identified as independent negative prognostic factors for survival in patients with PTCL.

CONCLUSION

POD24 is a prognostic factor associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients with PTCL and can be used to identify high-risk patients and guide treatment decisions.

Reducing the risk of tooth injury in anterior maxillary interdental osteotomy for cleft lip and palate patients using a surgical navigation technique

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical feasibility of preventing tooth injury from anterior maxillary interdental osteotomy by using a surgical navigation technique. A retrospective review was conducted on cleft lip and palate patients treated with anterior maxillary osteotomy followed by distraction osteogenesis between August 2019 and May 2022. Patients operated on through image guidance were enrolled in the navigation group, while those who were operated on freehand were enrolled in the freehand group. Tooth injuries were identified on postoperative images. Linear and angular deviations of the osteotomy line were measured. Twelve patients were enrolled in the study, seven in the navigation group and five in the freehand group. Altogether, 24 osteotomy lines and 53 adjacent teeth were evaluated. The dental injury rate was 3% in the navigation group and 27% in the freehand group (P = 0.016). The average linear deviations (mean ± standard deviation) were 0.67 ± 0.30 mm and 2.05 ± 1.33 mm, respectively (P < 0.001), while the average angular deviations were 1.67 ± 0.68° and 11.41 ± 7.46°, respectively (P < 0.001). The results suggest that navigation was able to reduce the tooth injury risk compared with freehand interdental osteotomies in crowded dental arches.

Increased Siglec-9/Siglec-9L interactions on NK cells predict poor HCC prognosis and present a targetable checkpoint for immunotherapy

BACKGROUND & AIMS

Natural killer (NK) cell-based anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy is an increasingly attractive approach that warrants further study. Siglec-9 interacts with its ligand (Siglec-9L) and restrains NK cell functions, suggesting it is a potential therapeutic target. However, in situ Siglec-9/Siglec-9L interactions in HCC have not been reported, and a relevant interventional strategy is lacking. Herein, we aim to illustrate Siglec-9/Siglec-9L-mediated cell sociology and identify small-molecule inhibitors targeting Siglec-9 that could improve the efficacy of NK cell-based immunotherapy for HCC.

METHODS

Multiplexed immunofluorescence staining was performed to analyze the expression pattern of Siglec-7, -9 and their ligands in HCC tissues. Then we conducted docking-based virtual screening combined with bio-layer interferometry assays to identify a potent small-molecule Siglec-9 inhibitor. The therapeutic potential was further evaluated in vitro and in hepatoma-bearing NCG mice.

RESULTS

Siglec-9 expression, rather than Siglec-7, was markedly upregulated on tumor-infiltrating NK cells, which correlated significantly with reduced survival of patients with HCC. Moreover, the number of Siglec-9L+ cells neighboring Siglec-9+ NK cells was increased in HCC tissues and was also associated with tumor recurrence and reduced survival, further suggesting that Siglec-9/Siglec-9L interactions are a potential therapeutic target in HCC. In addition, we identified a small-molecule Siglec-9 inhibitor MTX-3937 which inhibited phosphorylation of Siglec-9 and downstream SHP1 and SHP2. Accordingly, MTX-3937 led to considerable improvement in NK cell function. Notably, MTX-3937 enhanced cytotoxicity of both human peripheral and tumor-infiltrating NK cells. Furthermore, transfer of MTX-3937-treated NK92 cells greatly suppressed the growth of hepatoma xenografts in NCG mice.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study provides the rationale for HCC treatment by targeting Siglec-9 on NK cells and identifies a promising small-molecule inhibitor against Siglec-9 that enhances NK cell-mediated HCC surveillance.

IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS

Herein, we found that Siglec-9 expression is markedly upregulated on tumor-infiltrating natural killer (TINK) cells and correlates with reduced survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Moreover, the number of Siglec-9L+ cells neighboring Siglec-9+ NK cells was increased in HCC tissues and was also associated with tumor recurrence and reduced survival. More importantly, we identified a small-molecule inhibitor targeting Siglec-9 that augments NK cell functions, revealing a novel immunotherapy strategy for liver cancer that warrants further clinical investigation.

Atom-by-atom optimizing the surface termination of Fe-Pt intermetallic catalysts for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction

Controlling the atomic arrangement of elemental atoms in intermetallic catalysts to govern their surface and subsurface properties is a crucial but challenging endeavor in electrocatalytic reactions. In hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), adjusting the d-band center of the conventional noble-metallic Pt by introducing Fe enables the optimization of catalytic performance. However, a notable gap exists in research on the effective transition from disordered Fe/Pt alloys to highly ordered intermetallic compounds (IMCs) such as FePt3 in the alkaline HER, hampering their broader application. In this study, a series of catalysts FePt3-xH (x = 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized via a simple impregnation method, along with a range of heat treatment processes, including annealing in a reductive atmosphere, to regulate the order degree of the arrangement of Fe/Pt atoms within the FePt3 catalyst. By using advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, we systematically explored the impact of the order degree of FePt3 in the HER. The as-prepared FePt3-8H exhibited notable HER catalytic activity with low overpotentials (η = 37 mV in 1.0 mol L-1 KOH) at j = 10 mA cm-2. The surface of the L12 FePt3-8H catalyst was demonstrated to be Pt-rich. The Pt on the surface was not easily oxidized due to the unique Fe/Pt coordination, resulting in significant enhancement of HER performance.

Bispecific CAR T cell therapy targeting BCMA and CD19 in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: a phase I/II trial

Despite the high therapeutic response achieved with B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), primary resistance and relapse exist with single-target immunotherapy. Here, we design bispecific BC19 CAR T cells targeting BCMA/CD19 and evaluate antimyeloma activity in vitro and in vivo. Preclinical results indicate that BC19 CAR specifically recognize target antigens, and BC19 CAR T cells mediate selective killing of BCMA or CD19-positive cancer cells. BC19 CAR T cells also exhibit potent antigen-specific anti-tumor activity in xenograft mouse models. We conduct an open-label, single-arm, phase I/II study of BC19 CAR T cells in 50 patients with R/R MM (ChiCTR2000033567). The primary endpoint was safety. BC19 CAR T cells are well tolerated with grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome in 8% of patients and grade 1 neurotoxic events in 4% of patients, which meet the pre-specified primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints include overall response rate (92%), median progression-free survival (19.7 months), median overall survival (19.7 months) and median duration of response (not reached). Our study demonstrates that bispecific BC19 CAR T cells are feasible, safe and effective in treating patients with R/R MM.

Associations of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with toxicities and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Few studies have reported the associations of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) with cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxic events (NEs) and efficacy after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). We present a retrospective study of 67 patients with R/R B-ALL who received anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, 41 (61.2%) patients received G-CSF (G-CSF group), while 26 (38.8%) did not (non-G-CSF group). Patients had similar duration of grade 3-4 neutropenia between the two groups. The incidences of CRS and NEs were higher in G-CSF group, while no differences in severity were found. Further stratified analysis showed that the incidence and severity of CRS were not associated with G-CSF administration in patients with low bone marrow (BM) tumor burden. None of the patients with low BM tumor burden developed NEs. However, there was a significant increase in the incidence of CRS after G-CSF administration in patients with high BM tumor burden. The duration of CRS in patients who used G-CSF was longer. There were no significant differences in response rates at 1 and 3 months after CAR T-cell infusion, as well as overall survival (OS) between the two groups. In conclusion, our results showed that G-CSF administration was not associated with the incidence or severity of CRS in patients with low BM tumor burden, but the incidence of CRS was higher after G-CSF administration in patients with high BM tumor burden. The duration of CRS was prolonged in G-CSF group. G-CSF administration was not associated with the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy.

PURPOSE

To investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the KangDuo Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system for robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (UTUC).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

This prospective, single-center, single-arm clinical study of patients with UTUC was conducted from August 2022 to July 2023 using the KD-SR-01 system. The perioperative and follow-up data were prospectively recorded. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index was calculated to present ergonomics. The technique was described in detail.

RESULTS

A total of 13 patients underwent RARNU. None of the cases conversed to laparoscopic surgery or open surgery. The median docking time and console time were 524 (range, 139-963) seconds and 102.2 (range, 55.3-249.3) minutes, respectively. The median estimated blood loss was 40 (range, 10-100) ml. None of the patients required intraoperative blood transfusion. The median postoperative hospital stay was 4 (range, 2-7) days. Intraoperative or postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade I) occurred in 9 patients. The surgeon Task Load Index global score achieved 1.05±1.86. Three patients received the single-docking technique, demonstrating similar perioperative results compared to patients with re-docking.

CONCLUSIONS

The KD-SR-01 system was feasible, safe, and effective for robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy.

[Clinical characteristics and prognosis analysis of 17 cases of SMARCA4-deficient chest tumors]

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 17 patients with pathologically confirmed SMARCA4-deficient chest tumors. Methods: Seventeen patients with SMARCA4-deficient thoracic tumors diagnosed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from September 2021 to January 2023 were collected through Results Query System of Pathology Department, and the patients' general conditions, clinical symptoms, tumor markers, imaging features, treatment and regression were retrospectively analyzed, and literature review was performed. Results: A total of 17 patients were included in this study. Their clinical characteristics were characterized as follows: male/female=16/1, age 42-74 years, mean (64.0±5.7)years. Only 1 female had no clear smoking history, and 16 males had a smoking history, of whom 1 had 5 smoking pack-years, and the remaining 15 case had a smoking history of 20-100 smoking pack-years, with a mean of (68.5±44.5) smoking pack-years. Clinical symptoms were mainly cough and sputum, followed by chest tightness, hemoptysis and chest pain. Tumor markers CYFRA19-9 was elevated in 9 cases (3.79-16.61 ng/ml), CEA was elevated in 8 cases (5.37-295.93 ng/ml), and NSE was elevated in 6 cases (17.18-70.37 ng/ml). Imaging manifestations were intrapulmonary or mediastinal mass shadows, and the tumor involved the mediastinum in 9 cases, the upper lobe of the right lung in 6 cases, the upper lobe of the left lung in 5 cases, the lower lobe of the right lung in 3 cases, the lower lobe of the left lung in 3 cases; cervical or supraclavicular lymph node metastasis in 8 cases, pleural metastasis in 4 cases, hepatic metastasis in 3 cases, cerebral metastasis in 3 cases, bone metastasis in 2 cases, and subcutaneous metastasis in 1 case. Combining immuno-histochemistry and pathology, there were 6 cases of SMARCA4-deficient NSCLC and 11 cases of SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumor. Eight patients were treated with platinum-contained chemotherapy agents, four of which were combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and one was treated with enzatinib; only one of the 9 patients achieved partial remission after treatment, and the remaining eight had progression of the tumors on chest CT after treatment. Five patients abandoned the treatment, and died in 6-month of follow-up. Three patients underwent surgery for resection, and there was no significant progression in the three patients in the 6 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Clinically, middle-aged and elderly men with a history of heavy smoking should be given high priority, especially in patients whose imaging mostly showed intrapulmonary, especially in upper lobes, and/or mediastinal masses, rapid lesion progression, and early distant metastasis, and who should be alerted to the possibility of SMARCA4-deficient thoracic tumors. Late clinical stage is a high risk factor for poor overall patient survival, and platinum-containing chemotherapy agents combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy may be effective, and early surgery may improve patient prognosis.

Notch1 regulates hepatic thrombopoietin production

Notch signaling regulates cell-fate decisions in several developmental processes and cell functions. However, a role for Notch in hepatic thrombopoietin (TPO) production remains unclear. We noted thrombocytopenia in mice with hepatic Notch1 deficiency, and so investigated TPO production and other features of platelets in these mice. We found that the liver ultrastructure and hepatocyte function were comparable between control mice and Notch1-deficient mice. However, the Notch1-deficient mice had significantly lower plasma TPO and hepatic TPO mRNA levels, concomitant with lower numbers of platelets and impaired megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation, which were rescued by addition of exogenous TPO. Additionally, JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation was significantly inhibited in Notch1-deficient hepatocytes, consistent with the RNA-seq analysis. JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation and TPO production was also impaired in cultured Notch1-deficient hepatocytes after treatment with desialylated platelets. Consistently, hepatocyte-specific Notch1 deletion inhibited JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation and hepatic TPO production induced by administration of desialylated platelets in vivo. Interestingly, Notch1 deficiency downregulated the expression of HES5 but not HES1. Moreover, desialylated platelets promoted the binding of HES5 to JAK2/STAT3, leading to JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation and pathway activation in hepatocytes. Hepatocyte Ashwell-Morell receptor (AMR) (asialoglycoprotein receptor 1, ASGR1) physically associates with Notch1 and inhibition of AMR impaired Notch1 signaling activation and hepatic TPO production. Furthermore, blockage of Dll4 on desialylated platelets inhibited hepatocyte Notch1 activation and HES5 expression, JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation and subsequent TPO production. In conclusion, our study identifies a novel regulatory role of Notch1 in hepatic TPO production, indicating that it might be a target for modulating TPO level.

Microstructural, Micromechanical Atlas of the Temporomandibular Joint Disc

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is mainly composed of collagen, with its arrangement responding to efficient stress distribution. However, microstructural and micromechanical transformations of the TMJ disc under resting, functional, and pathological conditions remain unclear. To address this, our study presents a high-resolution microstructural and mechanical atlas of the porcine TMJ disc. First, the naive microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated in porcine TMJ discs (resting and functional conditions). Subsequently, the perforation and tear models (pathological conditions) were compared. Following this, a rabbit model of anterior disc displacement (abnormal stress) was studied. Results show diverse microstructures and mechanical properties at the nanometer to micrometer scale. In the functional state, gradual unfolding of the crimping cycle in secondary and tertiary structures leads to D-cycle prolongation in the primary structure, causing tissue failure. Pathological conditions lead to stress concentration near the injury site due to collagen interfibrillar traffic patterns, resulting in earlier damage manifestation. Additionally, the abnormal stress model shows collagen damage initiating at the primary structure and extending to the superstructure over time. These findings highlight collagen's various roles in different pathophysiological states. Our study offers valuable insights into TMJ disc function and dysfunction, aiding the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for TMJ disorders, as well as providing guidance for the design of structural biomimetic materials.

[Primary cardiac synovial sarcoma: a clinicopathological analysis of five cases]

Objective: To assess the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, molecular characteristics and differential diagnosis of primary cardiac synovial sarcoma (PCSS). Methods: Five cases of PCSS were collected at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from 2008 to 2023, and their clinicopathological features were summarized. Immunohistochemical staining, fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed, and relevant literatures were reviewed. Results: The cases were found in four males and one female, ranging in ages from 16 to 51 years (median 30 years). Two cases were located in the pericardium, two in the right ventricle, and one in the left ventricle. Follow-up data were available in four cases. All the four patients died of disease at 3, 7, 13 and 26 months, respectively, after diagnosis. The tumor maximum diameter ranged from 6.0 to 14.0 cm in (mean 10.0 cm). Microscopically, three cases were monophasic and two cases were biphasic. Immunohistochemically, all cases were immunoreactive for EMA, vimentin, bcl-2 and CD56. The tumor cells were variably positive for pan-cytokeratin, SS18-SSX, SOX2, TLE1, CD99, synaptophysin, calretinin and calponin. FISH showed the presence of SS18 rearrangement in all the cases. NGS detected SS18-SSX gene fusion in three cases (SS18-SSX1 in one and SS18-SSX2 in two). Conclusions: PCSS is an exceedingly rare neoplasm, and should be distinguished from other various malignant epithelial and mesenchymal tumors. The clinical history, histopathological and immunohistochemical features, and molecular findings are all essential to the definitive diagnosis of PCSS.

Impact of tocilizumab on anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

BACKGROUND

Tocilizumab is commonly used for the management of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy-associated cytokine release syndrome (CRS). However, it remains unknown whether tocilizumab or its dosage affects the efficacy and safety of CAR T-cell therapy. The objective of this multicenter retrospective study was to explore the impact of tocilizumab on CAR T-cell therapy.

METHODS

In total, 93 patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) receiving humanized anti-CD19 CAR T cells were recruited from May 2016 to November 2022. Forty-five patients received tocilizumab (tocilizumab group), whereas 48 patients did not (nontocilizumab group). Thirteen patients received >1 dose of tocilizumab. The primary end point was the effect of tocilizumab on the efficacy and safety of CAR T cells. Additionally, proliferation, killing, and cytokine assays of CAR T cells were performed in vitro in the presence of tocilizumab.

RESULTS

The median age of the patients was 33 years, with 47 males and 46 females. Patients in the tocilizumab group showed similar complete response (CR) rate, overall survival (OS), and event-free survival (EFS) compared with the nontocilizumab group. Compared with patients who received ≤1 dose of tocilizumab, receiving >1 dose of tocilizumab did not affect their CR rate, OS, or EFS. In the tocilizumab group, all patients experienced CRS and 26.7% experienced immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). In the nontocilizumab group, 64.6% of patients experienced CRS and 8.3% experienced ICANS. Up to 75% of ICANS and 87.5% of grade ≥3 ICANS occurred in the tocilizumab group. In vitro, tocilizumab did not impair the proliferation and killing effects of CAR T cells.

CONCLUSIONS

Tocilizumab does not affect the efficacy of CAR T cells but may increase the likelihood of ICANS.

PAX2 mediated upregulation of ESPL1 contributes to cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer through activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway

Extra spindle-polar body like 1 (ESPL1) is associated with the development of a variety of cancers, including bladder cancer, and is closely related to chemoresistance. In this study, we aimed to reveal the role of ESPL1 in bladder cancer progression and cisplatin (DDP) resistance. First, ESPL1 was found to be highly expressed in tumor tissues and cells of bladder cancer, and more highly expressed in cisplatin resistant tumor tissues or cells. The binding of PAX2 in ESPL1 promoter region was predicted by Jaspar database and verified by Ch-IP analysis and the luciferase reporter gene assay. Next, cisplatin-resistant T24 cells (T24/DDP) were established and transfected with ESPL1 siRNA (si-ESPL1) or overexpression vector (pcDNA-ESPL1) or co-transfected with PAX2 siRNA (si-PAX2) or overexpression vector (pcDNA-PAX2), and then treated with DDP or AG490, an inhibitor of JAK2. The results showed that silencing ESPL1 significantly reduced T24/DDP cell viability, colony formation and invasion, enhanced sensitivity to DDP, and induced cell apoptosis. Silencing PAX2 decreased ESPL1 expression, enhanced sensitivity to DDP, and induced apoptosis of T24/DDP cells, and inhibited activation of JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Overexpressing ESPL1 reversed the effect of PAX2 silencing on T24/DDP cells, while AG490 counteracted the reversal effect of overexpressing ESPL1. Finally, a xenograft tumor model was established and found that silencing ESPL1 or DDP treatment inhibited tumor growth, while silencing ESPL1 combined with DDP treatment had the best effect. In summary, this study suggested that PAX2-mediated ESPL1 transcriptional activation enhanced cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer by activating JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Potential contributions of keystone species to intestinal ecosystem in patients with Crohn's disease

AIMS

Ravelling the central but poorly understood issue that potential contributions of keystone species to intestinal ecosystem functioning of patients with certain life-altering diseases including Crohn's disease (CD).

METHODS AND RESULTS

In this study, a combination of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and amplicon-oriented metagenomic profiling was applied to gain insights into the shifts in bacterial community composition at different stages of CD course, and explore the functional roles of identified keystone species in intestinal microecosystem. Our results showed significant alterations in structure and composition of gut microbiota between CD patients and healthy control (HC) (P < 0.05), but was no difference at active and remission stages. Whole-community-based comprehensive analyses were employed to identify the differential species such as Escherichia coli, Anaerostipes hadrus, and Eubacterium hallii in CD patients, with healthy populations as the control. Metagenome-wide functional analyses further revealed that the relative abundance of specialized metabolism-related genes such as cynS, frdB, serA, and gltB from these bacterial species in CD group was significantly different (P < 0.05) from that in HC, and highlighted the potential roles of the keystone species in regulating the accumulation of important metabolites such as succinate, formate, ammonia, L-glutamate, and L-serine, which might have an effect on homeostasis of intestinal ecosystem.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings identify several potential keystone species that may influence the intestinal microecosystem functioning of CD patients and provide some reference for future CD treatment.

Validation of the revised electronic version of RUCAM for diagnosis of DILI in Chinese patients

BACKGROUND AIMS

The Revised Electronic Causality Assessment Method (RECAM), a computerized update of the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Methodology (RUCAM), was recently proposed. In this study, we validated and compared the utility of the RECAM and RUCAM in Chinese patients with a single conventional or herbal agent-induced liver injury.

METHODS

In this retrospective multicenter cohort of well-established DILI and non-DILI patients from 5 centers in China, the diagnostic performance of the RUCAM and RECAM was compared by AUC analysis. The consistency was evaluated by weighted kappa. The major causes of discrepancy were explored.

RESULTS

A total of 481 DILI and 100 non-DILI patients were included. In total, 62.6% of the DILI cases were induced by conventional agents, and 37.4% were induced by herbs. The RECAM had relatively higher AUC than RUCAM for overall [0.947 (0.926-0.964) vs. 0.867 (0.836-0.893), p=0.0016], conventional agents [0.923 (0.890-0.949) vs. 0.819 (0.775-0.858), p=0.0185], and herbs [0.972 (0.941-0.989) vs.0.911 (0.866-0.944), p=0.0199]. Latency, scores associated with hepatitis B, and hepatotoxicity information of the insulting drugs were the 3 main causes for the inconsistency between RECAM and RUCAM scores.

CONCLUSIONS

The RECAM had relatively better diagnostic performance than RUCAM, with a higher AUC for Chinese DILI patients. Timely updates of the LiverTox category and refinement of serum markers to exclude hepatitis B activity would further improve the applicability of RECAM in areas where the use of herbs and resolution of past HBV infections are common.

Novel mutations in FLVCR1 cause tremors, sensory neuropathy with retinitis pigmentosa

The mutations of the feline leukemia virus subgroup C receptor-related protein 1 (FLVCR1) cause ataxia with retinitis pigmentosa. Recent studies indicated a large variation in the phenotype of FLVCR1-associated diseases. In this report, we describe an adult male who manifested first with tremors in his third decade, followed by retinitis pigmentosa, sensory ataxia, and sensory neuropathy in his fourth decade. While retinitis pigmentosa and sensory ataxia are well-recognized features of FLVCR1-associated disease, tremor is rarely described. Whole-exome sequencing revealed novel compound heterozygous pathogenic FLVCR1 variants: c.498 G > A; p.(Trp166*) and c.369 T > G; p.(Phe123Leu). In addition, we have highlighted the ultrastructural abnormalities of the sural biopsy in this patient.

The factors influencing the occurrence of post-ischemic stroke depression and its relationship with the burden score of cerebral small vessel disease

OBJECTIVE

This study explored the determinants of post-stroke depression (PSD) in ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and its association with the burden score of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).

PATIENTS AND METHODS

We analyzed 374 AIS patients treated between January 2020 and January 2022. Patients were categorized into 90 with PSD and 284 without PSD, enabling an investigation into PSD risk factors and the CSVD-PSD relationship.

RESULTS

There was no significant difference in health factors between PSD and non-PSD patients (p>0.05). However, significant disparities were noted in age, gender, initial Barthel Index (BI), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, plasma fibrinogen, homocysteine, red cell distribution width, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and CSVD burden score (p<0.05). Regression analysis indicated that these variables were pivotal PSD predictors (OR>1, p<0.05). Surprisingly, a positive correlation with PSD occurrence was found for age, NIHSS score, plasma fibrinogen, homocysteine levels, red cell distribution width, CSVD burden score (r=0.565, 0.615, 0.482, 0.514, 0.572, 0.608, respectively; p<0.05). Meanwhile, the MMSE score and BI index were inversely related to PSD onset (r=-0.604, -0.590; p<0.05). The ROC curve analysis of the combination model based on MMSE, NIHSS and CSVD score revealed an AUC of 0.926 and Youden's index of 0.744.

CONCLUSIONS

Age, MMSE score, BI index, NIHSS score, plasma fibrinogen concentration, homocysteine level, red blood cell distribution width, and CSVD burden score are all major influencing factors in the occurrence of PSD. The combination model based on MMSE, NIHSS, and CSVD scores presented a valuable approach to predicting PSD.

Platelet-derived thrombospondin 1 promotes immune cell liver infiltration and exacerbates diet-induced steatohepatitis

Background & Aims

Recent studies have implicated platelets, particularly α-granules, in the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the specific mechanisms involved have yet to be determined. Notably, thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) is a major component of the platelet α-granules released during platelet activation. Hence, we aimed to determine the role of platelet-derived TSP1 in NASH.

Methods

Platelet-specific Tsp1 knockout mice (TSP1Δpf4) and their wild-type littermates (TSP1F/F) were used. NASH was induced by feeding the mice with a diet enriched in fat, sucrose, fructose, and cholesterol (AMLN diet). A human liver NASH organoid model was also employed.

Results

Although TSP1 deletion in platelets did not affect diet-induced steatosis, TSP1Δpf4 mice exhibited attenuated NASH and liver fibrosis, accompanied by improvements in plasma glucose and lipid homeostasis. Furthermore, TSP1Δpf4 mice showed reduced intrahepatic platelet accumulation, activation, and chemokine production, correlating with decreased immune cell infiltration into the liver. Consequently, this diminished proinflammatory signaling in the liver, thereby mitigating the progression of NAFLD. Moreover, in vitro data revealed that co-culturing TSP1-deficient platelets in a human liver NASH organoid model attenuated hepatic stellate cell activation and NASH progression. Additionally, TSP1-deficient platelets play a role in regulating brown fat endocrine function, specifically affecting Nrg4 (neuregulin 4) production. Crosstalk between brown fat and the liver may also influence the progression of NAFLD.

Conclusions

These data suggest that platelet α-granule-derived TSP1 is a significant contributor to diet-induced NASH and fibrosis, potentially serving as a new therapeutic target for this severe liver disease.

Impact and implications

Recent studies have implicated platelets, specifically α-granules, in the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, yet the precise mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, through the utilization of a tissue-specific knockout mouse model and human 3D liver organoid, we demonstrated that platelet α-granule-derived TSP1 significantly contributes to diet-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and fibrosis. This contribution is, in part, attributed to the regulation of intrahepatic immune cell infiltration and potential crosstalk between fat and the liver. These findings suggest that platelet-derived TSP1 may represent a novel therapeutic target in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Gastrointestinal Characteristics of Constipation from the Perspectives of Microbiome and Metabolome

BACKGROUND

Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints. Yet, the underlying mechanisms of constipation remain to be explored deeply. Integration of microbiome and metabolome is powerful and promising to demonstrate characteristics of constipation.

AIM OF STUDY

This study aimed to characterize intestinal microbiome and metabolome of constipation. In addition, this study revealed the correlations among behaviors, intestinal microbiota, and metabolites interrupted by constipation.

METHODS

Firstly, the constipation model was successfully applied. At the macro level, the ability of learning, memory, locomotor activity, and the defecation index of rats with constipation-like phenotype were characterized. At the micro-level, 16S rRNA sequencing was applied to analyze the intestinal microbiota in rats with constipation-like phenotype. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics was employed to investigate the metabolic phenotype of constipation. In addition, we constructed a correlation network, intuitively showing the correlations among behaviors, intestinal microbiota, and metabolites.

RESULTS

Constipation significantly attenuated the locomotor activity, memory recognition, and frequency of defecation of rats, while increased the time of defecation. Constipation significantly changed the diversity of intestinal microbial communities, which correspondingly involved in 5 functional pathways. Besides, 28 fecal metabolites were found to be associated with constipation, among which 14 metabolites were further screened that can be used to diagnose constipation. On top of this, associated networks intuitively showed the correlations among behaviors, intestinal microbiota, and metabolites.

CONCLUSIONS

The current findings are significant in terms of not only laying a foundation for understanding characteristics of constipation, but also providing accurate diagnosis and treatments of constipation clinically.

Amplitude Analysis of the B^{0}→K^{*0}μ^{+}μ^{-} Decay

An amplitude analysis of the B^{0}→K^{*0}μ^{+}μ^{-} decay is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7  fb^{-1} of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. For the first time, the coefficients associated to short-distance physics effects, sensitive to processes beyond the standard model, are extracted directly from the data through a q^{2}-unbinned amplitude analysis, where q^{2} is the μ^{+}μ^{-} invariant mass squared. Long-distance contributions, which originate from nonfactorizable QCD processes, are systematically investigated, and the most accurate assessment to date of their impact on the physical observables is obtained. The pattern of measured corrections to the short-distance couplings is found to be consistent with previous analyses of b- to s-quark transitions, with the largest discrepancy from the standard model predictions found to be at the level of 1.8 standard deviations. The global significance of the observed differences in the decay is 1.4 standard deviations.

Study of High-Transverse-Momentum Higgs Boson Production in Association with a Vector Boson in the qqbb Final State with the ATLAS Detector

This Letter presents the first study of Higgs boson production in association with a vector boson (V=W or Z) in the fully hadronic qqbb final state using data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137  fb^{-1}. The vector bosons and Higgs bosons are each reconstructed as large-radius jets and tagged using jet substructure techniques. Dedicated tagging algorithms exploiting b-tagging properties are used to identify jets consistent with Higgs bosons decaying into bb[over ¯]. Dominant backgrounds from multijet production are determined directly from the data, and a likelihood fit to the jet mass distribution of Higgs boson candidates is used to extract the number of signal events. The VH production cross section is measured inclusively and differentially in several ranges of Higgs boson transverse momentum: 250-450, 450-650, and greater than 650 GeV. The inclusive signal yield relative to the standard model expectation is observed to be μ=1.4_{-0.9}^{+1.0} and the corresponding cross section is 3.1±1.3(stat)_{-1.4}^{+1.8}(syst)  pb.

Complex association of body mass index and outcomes in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma treated with CAR-T cell immunotherapy

BACKGROUND AIMS

Chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cells have exhibited remarkable efficacy in treating refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma (R/R MM). Although obesity has a favorable value in enhancing the response to immunotherapy, less is known about its predictive value regarding the efficacy and prognosis of CAR-T cell immunotherapy.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective study of 111 patients with R/R MM who underwent CAR-T cell treatment. Using the body mass index (BMI) classification, the patients were divided into a normal-weight group (73/111) and an overweight group (38/111). We investigated the effect of BMI on CAR-T cell therapy outcomes in patients with R/R MM.

RESULTS

The objective remission rates after CAR-T cell infusion were 94.7% and 89.0% in the overweight and normal-weight groups, respectively. The duration of response and overall survival were not significant difference between BMI groups. Compared to normal-weight patients, overweight patients had an improved median progression-free survival. There was no significant difference in cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome between the subgroups. In terms of hematological toxicity, the erythrocyte, hemoglobin, platelet, leukocyte and neutrophil recovery was accelerated in the overweight group. Fewer patients in the overweight group displayed moderate percent CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratios compared to the normal-weight group. Furthermore, the percent CD4 ratios were positively correlated with the levels of cytokines [interleukin-2 (IL-2) (day 14), interferon gamma (IFN-γ) (day 7) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (days 14 and 21)] after cells infusion. On the other hand, BMI was positively associated with the levels of IFN-γ (day 7) and TNF-α (days 14 and 21) after CAR-T cells infusion.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, this study highlights the potential beneficial effect of a higher BMI on CAR-T cell therapy outcomes.

Super-Flexible Water-Proof Actuators

Humidity-responsive materials hold broad application prospects in sensing, energy production, and other fields. Particularly, humidity-sensitive, flexibility, and water resistance are pivotal factors in the development of optimized humidity-responsive materials. In this study, hydrophobic linear polyurethane and hydrophilic 4-vinylphenylboronic acid (4-VPBA) form a semi-intercross cross-linking network. This copolymer of polyurethane exhibits excellent humidity-sensitive, mechanical properties, and water resistance. Its maximum tensile strength and maximum elongation can reach 40.56 MPa and 543.47%, respectively. After being immersed in water at various temperatures for 15 days, it exhibited a swelling ratio of only 3.28% in water at 5 °C and 9.58% in water at 70 °C. While the presence of 4-VPBA network imparts humidity-sensitive, reversible, and multidirectional bending abilities, under the stimulus of water vapor, it can bend 43° within 1.4 s. The demonstrated material surpasses current bidirectional humidity actuators in actuating ability. Based on these characteristics, automatically opening waterproof umbrellas and windows, as well as bionic-arms, crawling robots, and self-propelled boats, are successfully developed.

A phase II study of belumosudil for chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients who failed at least one line of systemic therapy in China

BACKGROUND

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is an immune-related disorder that is the most common complication post-allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Corticosteroids with or without calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) remain the mainstay of cGVHD treatment for first-line therapy. However, for many patients, cGVHD symptoms cannot be effectively managed and thus require second-line therapy. Currently, there is no approved treatment for second-line cGVHD treatment in China. In this study, belumosudil, a highly selective and potent rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein kinase-2 inhibitor demonstrated to be effective for cGVHD in the United States and other Western countries, is investigated in patients with cGVHD in China for its overall benefit-risk balance.

METHODS

This multicenter, open-label phase II study evaluated the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of oral belumosudil 200 mg once daily in cGVHD patients who had been treated with at least one line of systemic therapy in China. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR); each individual patient's response was assessed by the investigator using the 2014 National Institutes of Health consensus criteria. Secondary endpoints were duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), changes in Lee Symptom Scale (LSS) score, organ response rate, corticosteroid dose change, CNI dose change, failure-free survival, time-to-next-treatment, overall survival, and safety.

RESULTS

Thirty patients were enrolled in the study with a median follow-up time of 12.9 months. ORR was 73.3% (95% confidence interval: 54.1-87.7%) and all responders achieved partial response. Median DOR among responders was not reached and median TTR was 4.3 weeks (range: 3.9-48.1). Fifteen patients (50.0%) achieved clinically meaningful response in terms of reduction in LSS score by ≥ 7 points from baseline. Corticosteroid and CNI dose reductions were reported in 56.7% (17/30) and 35.0% (7/20) of patients, respectively. Most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild to moderate in severity, with 11 patients (36.7%) experiencing grade ≥ 3 TEAEs. The most common grade ≥ 3 TEAE was pneumonia (n = 5, 16.7%).

CONCLUSIONS

Belumosudil treatment demonstrated a favorable benefit-risk balance in treating cGVHD patients who previously have had standard corticosteroid therapy in China where approved second-line setting is absent.

Boosting Electrocatalytic Ethylene Epoxidation by Single Atom Modulation

The electrochemical synthesis of ethylene oxide (EO) using ethylene and water under ambient conditions presents a low-carbon alternative to existing industrial production process. Yet, the electrocatalytic ethylene epoxidation route is currently hindered by largely insufficient activity, EO selectivity, and long-term stability. Here we report a single atom Ru-doped hollandite structure KIr4O8 (KIrRuO) nanowire catalyst for efficient EO production via a chloride-mediated ethylene epoxidation process. The KIrRuO catalyst exhibits an EO partial current density up to 0.7 A cm-2 and an EO yield as high as 92.0 %. The impressive electrocatalytic performance towards ethylene epoxidation is ascribed to the modulation of electronic structures of adjacent Ir sites by single Ru atoms, which stabilizes the *CH2CH2OH intermediate and facilitates the formation of active Cl2 species during the generation of 2-chloroethanol, the precursor of EO. This work provides a single atom modulation strategy for improving the reactivity of adjacent metal sites in heterogeneous electrocatalysts.

Drought priming-induced stress memory improves subsequent drought or heat tolerance via activation of γ-aminobutyric acid-regulated pathways in creeping bentgrass

Recurrent drought can induce stress memory in plants to induce tolerance to subsequent stress, such as high temperature or drought. Drought priming (DP) is an effective approach to improve tolerance to various stresses; however, the potential mechanism of DP-induced stress memory has not been fully resoved. We examined DP-regulated subsequent drought tolerance or thermotolerance associated with changes in physiological responses, GABA and NO metabolism, heat shock factor (HSF) and dehydrin (DHN) pathways in perennial creeping bentgrass. Plants can recover after two cycle of DP, and DP-treated plants had significantly higher tolerance to subsequent drought or heat stress, with higher leaf RWC, Chl content, photochemical efficiency, and cell membrane stability. DP significantly alleviated oxidative damage through enhancing total antioxidant capacity in response to subsequent drought or heat stress. Endogenous GABA was significantly increased by DP through activating glutamic acid decarboxylase activity and inhibiting GABA transaminase activity. DP also enhanced accumulation of NO, depending on NOS activity, under subsequent drought or heat stress. Transcript levels of multiple transcription factors, heat shock proteins, and DHNs in the HSF and DHN pathways were up-regulated by DP under drought or heat stress, but there were differences between DP-regulated heat tolerance and drought tolerance in these pathways. The findings indicate that under recurrent moderate drought, DP improves subsequent tolerance to drought or heat stress in relation to GABA-regulated pathways, providing new insight into understanding of the role of stress memory in plant adaptation to complex environmental stresses.

Transient Photoinduced Pb2+ Disproportionation for Exciton Self-Trapping and Broadband Emission in Low-Dimensional Lead Halide Perovskites

Low-dimensional lead halide perovskites with broadband emission hold great promise for single-component white-light-emitting (WLE) devices. The origin of their broadband emission has been commonly attributed to self-trapped excitons (STEs) composed of localized electronic polarization with a distorted lattice. Unfortunately, the exact electronic and structural nature of the STE species in these WLE materials remains elusive, hindering the rational design of high-efficiency WLE materials. In this study, by combining ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, we uncover surprisingly similar STE features in two prototypical low dimensional WLE perovskite single crystals: 1D (DMEDA)PbBr4 and 2D (EDBE)PbBr4, despite of their different dimensionalities. Photoexcited excitons rapidly localize to intrinsic STEs within ∼250 fs, contributing to the white light emission. Crucially, STEs in both systems exhibit characteristic absorption features akin to those of Pb+ and Pb3+. Further atomic level theoretical simulations confirm photoexcited electrons and holes are localized on the Pb2+ site to form Pb+- and Pb3+-like species, resembling transient photoinduced Pb2+ disproportionation. This study provides conclusive evidence on the key excited state species for exciton self-trapping and broadband emission in low dimensional lead halide WLE perovskites and paves the way for the rational design of high-efficiency WLE materials.

Single-crystal growth, structure and thermal transport properties of the metallic antiferromagnet Zintl-phase β-EuIn2As2

Zintl-phase materials have attracted significant research interest owing to the interplay of magnetism and strong spin-orbit coupling, providing a prominent material platform for axion electrodynamics. Here, we report the single-crystal growth, structure, magnetic and electrical/thermal transport properties of the antiferromagnet layer Zintl-phase compound β-EuIn2As2. Importantly, the new layered structure of β-EuIn2As2, in rhombohedral (R3̄m) symmetry, contains triangular layers of Eu2+ ions. The in-plane resistivity ρ(H, T) measurements reveal metal behavior with an antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition (TN ∼ 23.5 K), which is consistent with the heat capacity Cp(H, T) and magnetic susceptibility χ(H, T) measurements. Negative MR was observed in the temperature range from 2 K to 20 K with a maximum MR ratio of 0.06. Unique 4f7J = S = 7/2 Eu2+ spins were supposed magnetically order along the c-axis. The Seebeck coefficient shows a maximum thermopower |Smax| of about 40 μV K-1. The kink around 23 K in the Seebeck coefficient originates from the effect of the antiferromagnetic phase on the electron band structure, while the pronounced thermal conductivity peak at around 10 K is attributed to the phonon-phonon Umklapp scattering. The results suggest that the Eu2+ spin arrangement plays an important role in the magnetic, electrical, and thermal transport properties in β-EuIn2As2, which might be helpful for future potential technical applications.

Measurement of the Centrality Dependence of the Dijet Yield in p+Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=8.16 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

ATLAS measured the centrality dependence of the dijet yield using 165  nb^{-1} of p+Pb data collected at sqrt[s_{NN}]=8.16  TeV in 2016. The event centrality, which reflects the p+Pb impact parameter, is characterized by the total transverse energy registered in the Pb-going side of the forward calorimeter. The central-to-peripheral ratio of the scaled dijet yields, R_{CP}, is evaluated, and the results are presented as a function of variables that reflect the kinematics of the initial hard parton scattering process. The R_{CP} shows a scaling with the Bjorken x of the parton originating from the proton, x_{p}, while no such trend is observed as a function of x_{Pb}. This analysis provides unique input to understanding the role of small proton spatial configurations in p+Pb collisions by covering parton momentum fractions from the valence region down to x_{p}∼10^{-3} and x_{Pb}∼4×10^{-4}.

Reducing the length of stay for patients stranded in the emergency department: A single-center prospective study of 18,631 patients in China

The purpose of this study was to reduce the length of stay (LOS) for patients stranded in the emergency department (ED) of a Grade III A hospital in China, and to improve patient flow and increase bed capacity. We utilized a pre-/postintervention design and employed the Six Sigma methodology, which is based on the DMAIC cycle (define, measure, analyze, improve, and control), to evaluate and improve the existing process. Data from 18,631 patients who were stranded in the ED were collected and analyzed. The median LOS for stranded patients decreased from 17.21 (6.22, 27.36) hours to 13.45 (5.56, 25.85) hours (P < .05). Similarly, the median LOS for admitted patients decreased from 19.64 (7.77, 27.68) hours to 15.92 (6.19, 26.24) hours (P < .05). The median LOS for patients with an ED triage Level IV decreased from 16.15 (5.80, 26.62) hours to 12.59 (5.20, 24.97) hours (P < .05). In addition, the average hospitalization days of hospitalized patients decreased from 0.92 days to 0.82 days (P < .05). Furthermore, the bed utilization rate increased from 66.79% to 72.29% (P < .05). The number of bed turnovers in the ED resuscitation room increased from 20.30 to 21.96 (P < .05). We had effectively met our goal of minimizing ED patient LOS. Six Sigma method can effectively shorten patient LOS by measuring and analyzing the key factors affecting patient LOS, and by implementing measures such as strict implementation of emergency classification and triage system, establishment of multidisciplinary cooperative team, reasonable allocation of human resources, information management of bed resources, and improvement of performance appraisal scheme to improve and control the effectiveness of patient LOS.

[Clinical characteristics and prognosis of 8 cases of severe infant botulism]

Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of severe infant botulism and evaluate the therapeutic effect of botulinum antitoxin in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods: The clinical data of 8 cases diagnosed with infantile botulism were retrospectively analyzed in the PICU of Beijing Children's Hospital from October 2019 to August 2023. Data of basic demographic information, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, treatment and prognosis of each child were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Results: Eight laboratory-confirmed cases of infant botulism were included in this study, all of which were male infants with an age of 6.0 (3.3,6.8) months. Three of the children were from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 2 of them were from Hebei, and the other 3 were from Beijing, Shandong and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, respectively. All the patients were previously healthy. In 4 of these cases, the possible cause was the ingestion of either honey and its products or sealed pickled food by the mother or child before the onset of the disease. The first symptom was poor milk intake (4 cases), followed by shallow shortness of breath (7 cases), limb weakness (7 cases) and so on. The typical signs were bilateral dilated pupils (8 cases) and decreased limb muscle strength (8 cases). The main subtype was type B (7 cases), and only 1 case was classified as type A. Six of the children were treated with antitoxin therapy for a duration of 24 (19, 49) d. Seven of them had invasive mechanical ventilation. All the patients survived upon discharge with a follow-up period of 29 d to 3 years and 8 months. Six patients had fully recovered, and 2 recently discharged patients were gradually recovering. Conclusions: For infants with suspected contact or ingestion of botulinum and presented with bilateral pupillary paralysis, muscle weakness and clear consciousness, the stool should be collected for diagnostic testing using a mouse bioassay as soon as possible. Type B was the most common type. The antitoxin treatment was effectiveness and the prognosis was well.

Risk of metastasis and survival in patients undergoing different treatment strategies with T1 colonic neuroendocrine tumors

PURPOSE

The efficacy and safety of local excision (LE) for small (< 1‒2 cm) colonic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is controversial due to the higher metastasis risk when compared with rectal NETs. The study aimed to evaluate the metastasis risk of T1 colonic NETs and compare patients' long-term prognosis after LE or radical surgery (RS).

METHODS

The Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database was used to identify patients with T1 colonic NETs (2004‒2015). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess factors associated with metastasis risk. Propensity score matching was used to balance the variables. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated to estimate the prognosis of patients with T1N0M0 colonic NETs who underwent LE or RS.

RESULTS

Of the 610 patients with colonic NETs, 46 (7.54%) had metastasis at diagnosis. Tumor size (11-20 mm) (OR = 9.51; 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.32‒21.45; P < 0.001), right colon (OR = 15.79; 95% CI 7.20‒38.56; P < 0.001), submucosal infiltration (OR = 2.08; 95% CI 0.84‒5.57; P = 0.125) were independent risk factors associated with metastasis. Of the 515 patients with T1N0M0 colonic NETs, the overall long-term prognosis of LE was as good as that of RS groups (after matching, 5-year CSS: 97.9% vs. 94.6%, P = 0.450; 5-year OS: 92.7% vs. 85.6%, P = 0.009).

CONCLUSION

Tumor size (11‒20 mm) and site (right colon) are associated with metastasis in T1 colonic NETs. In the absence of metastasis, LE could be a viable option for 0‒10 mm T1 colonic NETs with well/moderate differentiation in the left colon in terms of long-term survival.

Genetic variation of six specific SNPs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Chinese population

BACKGROUND

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic bronchitis (or) emphysema with a high disability and fatality rate. This study aimed to explore the correlation between the six selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of COPD in the Chinese population.

METHODS

The Agena MassARRAY platform was used to select six SNPs from 629 subjects for genotyping. The correlation between SNPs and COPD risk was evaluated using calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was performed to analyze the impact of SNP interactions on COPD risk. Multiple comparisons were performed using Bonferroni- correction.

RESULTS

Our results indicated that rs4719841 and rs7934083 variants were associated with a reduced risk of COPD. The analysis results of age, gender and non-smokers showed that rs4719841 and rs7934083 were associated with reducing the risk of COPD. In addition, the results showed that the genetic models of rs4719841, rs7934083 and rs7780562 were related to the forced vital capacity, respiratory rate per second, and respiratory rate / forced vital capacity of COPD patients, respectively. The results of the MDR analysis showed that the three-locus model (rs4719841, rs7934083, and rs78750958) is the best for COPD risk assessment.

CONCLUSION

This study shows that rs4719841 and rs7934083 are associated with the risk of COPD in the Chinese population, which provides some insights for early screening, prevention, and diagnosis of COPD in high-risk populations.

Intraosseous schwannoma of the mandible is rare, with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The aims of this study were to report new cases of intraosseous schwannoma of the mandible and to propose a clinical classification, providing suggestions for treatment methods. The cases of 13 patients treated at the authors' hospital and 86 cases reported previously in the literature were reviewed. The most common clinical feature was facial swelling (60/93). The rate of cortical thinning or expansion was 44.8% (43/96); widening of the inferior alveolar nerve canal on radiographs was observed in 15 patients.

Substitutional Cd Dopant as Photohole Transfer Mediator Boosting Photoelectrochemical Solar Energy Conversion of 2D Cd-ZnIn2 S4 Photoanode

Fast recombination dynamics of photocarriers competing with sluggish surface photohole oxidation kinetics severely restricts the photoelectrochemical (PEC) conversion efficiency of photoanode. Here, a defect engineering strategy is developed to regulate photohole transfer and interfacial injection dynamics of 2D ZnIn2 S4 (ZIS). Via selectively introducing substitutional Cd dopant at Zn sites of the ZIS basal plane, energy band structure and surface electrochemical activity are successfully modulated in the Cd-doped ZIS (Cd-ZIS) nanosheet array photoanode. Comprehensive characterizations manifest that a shallow acceptor level induced by Cd doping and superior electrochemical activity make surface Cd dopants simultaneously act as capture centers and active sites to mediate photohole dynamics at the reaction interface. In depth photocarrier dynamics analysis demonstrates that highly efficient photohole capture of Cd dopants brings about effective space separation of photocarriers and acceleration of surface reaction kinetics. Therefore, the optimum 2D Cd-ZIS achieves excellent PEC solar energy conversion efficiency with a photocurrent density of 5.1 mA cm-2 at 1.23 VRHE and a record of applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (ABPE) of 3.0%. This work sheds light on a microstructure design strategy to effectively regulate photohole dynamics for the next-generation semiconducting PEC photoanodes.

Developing DPYD Genotyping Method for Personalized Fluoropyrimidines Therapy

BACKGROUND

Fluoropyrimidine drugs are widely used in chemotherapy to treat solid tumors. However, severe toxicity has been reported in 10% to 40% of patients. The DPYD gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase responsible for fluoropyrimidine catabolism. The DPYD variants resulting in decreased or no enzyme activity are associated with increased risk of fluoropyrimidine toxicity. This study aims to develop a pharmacogenetic test for screening DPYD variants to guide fluoropyrimidine therapy.

METHODS

A multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) assay, followed by capillary electrophoresis, was developed to detect 5 common DPYD variants (c.557A > G, c.1129-5923C > G, c.1679T > G, c.1905 + 1G > A, and c.2846A > T). Deidentified population samples were used for screening positive controls and optimizing assay conditions. Proficiency testing samples with known genotypes were analyzed for test validation. All variants detected were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

RESULTS

From the deidentified population samples, 5 samples were heterozygous for c.557A > G, 2 samples were heterozygous for c.1129-5923C > G (HapB3), and 1 sample was heterozygous for c.2846A > T. The 20 proficiency samples matched with their assigned genotypes, including 13 wild-type samples, 3 samples heterozygous for c.1679T > G, 2 samples heterozygous for c.1905 + 1G > A, and 2 samples heterozygous for c.2846A > T. One of the 3 patient samples was heterozygous for c.1129-5923C > G (HapB3). All the variants detected by the multiplex AS-PCR assay were concordant with Sanger sequencing results.

CONCLUSIONS

A robust multiplex AS-PCR assay was developed to rapidly detect 5 variants in the DPYD gene. It can be used for screening DPYD variants to identify patients with increased risk of toxicity when prescribed fluoropyrimidine therapy.

Analytical validation of HER2DX genomic test for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer

BACKGROUND

HER2DX, a multianalyte genomic test, has been clinically validated to predict breast cancer recurrence risk (relapse risk score), the probability of achieving pathological complete response post-neoadjuvant therapy (pCR likelihood score), and individual ERBB2 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels in patients with early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. This study delves into the comprehensive analysis of HER2DX's analytical performance.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Precision and reproducibility of HER2DX risk, pCR, and ERBB2 mRNA scores were assessed within and between laboratories using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissues and purified RNA. Robustness was appraised by analyzing the impact of tumor cell content and protocol variations including different instruments, reagent lots, and different RNA extraction kits. Variability was evaluated across intratumor biopsies and genomic platforms [RNA sequencing (RNAseq) versus nCounter], and according to protocol variations.

RESULTS

Precision analysis of 10 FFPE tumor samples yielded a maximal standard error of 0.94 across HER2DX scores (1-99 scale). High reproducibility of HER2DX scores across 29 FFPE tumors and 20 RNAs between laboratories was evident (correlation coefficients >0.98). The probability of identifying score differences >5 units was ≤5.2%. No significant variability emerged based on platform instruments, reagent lots, RNA extraction kits, or TagSet thaw/freeze cycles. Moreover, HER2DX displayed robustness at low tumor cell content (10%). Intratumor variability across 212 biopsies (106 tumors) was <4.0%. Concordance between HER2DX scores from 30 RNAs on RNAseq and nCounter platforms exceeded 90.0% (Cohen's κ coefficients >0.80).

CONCLUSIONS

The HER2DX assay is highly reproducible and robust for the quantification of recurrence risk, pCR likelihood, and ERBB2 mRNA expression in early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer.

Laparoscopic continent cutaneous urinary diversion using a modified Yang-Monti technique in an adult: A case report including 5-year follow-up

Continuous cutaneous urinary diversion is challenging when the appendix is physically unavailable. The Yang-Monti channel is an alternative to the tunneled appendix for urinary diversion. We present a case involving a 49-year-old man who underwent total urethrectomy and cystostomy 10 months previously. No tumor recurrence was observed; however, the patient experienced severe catheter-related bladder irritation after the procedure. The patient was readmitted to the authors' hospital and underwent laparoscopic continent cutaneous urinary diversion using extracorporeal construction of a modified Yang-Monti channel. The operation lasted 232 minutes, with an estimated blood loss of 10 mL. The patient was discharged from hospital 6 days after surgery and removal of the cystostomy tube. After this, clean intermittent catheterization was performed every 3 hours for 4 weeks. Five years after the procedure, the modified Yang-Monti channel was still used for clean intermittent catheterization without any stomal stenosis being observed. The patient was satisfied with his postoperative quality of life.

[Mid- and long-term results of surgical treatment of brachiocephalic Takayasu arteritis]

Objective: To examine the mid - and long-term outcomes of surgical treatment of brachiocephalic Takayasu arteritis. Methods: This is a retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 39 patients,which had been diagnosed as brachiocephalic Takayasu arteritis (244 cases),who underwent surgical treatment,were analyzed between July 2012 to November 2022 at Department of Endoluminal Vascular Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. There were 5 males and 34 females, aged (37.9±14.0)years (range:13 to 71 years). Despite medical treatment, the patients suffered severe ischemic symptoms continually and then underwent surgical interventions. Among them, 20 patients underwent endovascular procedures, 11 underwent open surgical procedures, and 8 underwent hybrid procedures. Patients were followed up through outpatient visits at 1, 3, 6 months after surgery and once every year later. Follow-up was conducted until November 2022. Operation status, postoperative complications and re-intervention of patients were recorded and the Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze postoperative vascular patency rates. Results: All 39 surgeries were successful, with no intraoperative death or serious complications. The follow-up period was (48.8±38.2) months(range:1 to 123 months). Thirty-three patients experienced symptom relief after surgery, and 6 patients required secondary surgical interventions. The patency rates for the endovascular treatment group at 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year were 95.0%, 75.2%, 60.2%, and 60.2%, respectively, while the patency rates for open surgery were all 90.9%. In the hybrid surgery group, the patency rates at 1-, 3-, 5-, and 8-year were all 87.5%. Conclusion: For patients with brachiocephalic Takayasu arteritis, choice of an appropriate blood flow revascularization intervention should be based on the patient's condition,and the mid-and long-term outcomes are satisfactory.

Identification of ferroptosis-related diagnostic markers in primary Sjögren's syndrome based on machine learning

BACKGROUND

Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a common autoimmune disorder that affects up to 0.3-3% of the global population. Ferroptosis has recently been identified to play a significant role in autoimmune diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in the initiation and progression of pSS remains unclear.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the occurrence and progression of pSS, we utilized a comprehensive approach by integrating data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database with data from the FerrDb database to identify the ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Furthermore, we implemented an innovative transcriptomic analysis method utilizing a computer-aided algorithm to establish a network between hub genes associated with ferroptosis and the immune microenvironment in pSS patients.

RESULTS

Our results revealed significant differences in the gene expression profiles of pSS samples compared to normal tissues, with 1,830 significantly up-regulated genes and 1,310 significantly down-regulated genes. In addition, our results showed a significant increase in the proportions of B cells and CD4+ T cells in pSS samples compared to normal tissues. AND then, our analysis revealed that a combination of six ferroptosis-related genes, including TBK1, SLC1A4, PIK3CA, ENO3, EGR1, and ATG5, could serve as optimal markers for the diagnosis of pSS. The combined analysis of these six genes accurately diagnosed the occurrence of pSS.

CONCLUSIONS

This study offers valuable insights into the pathogenesis of pSS and highlights the importance of targeting ferroptosis-related DEGs, which suggests a novel treatment strategy for pSS.

Water saving irrigation mediates bioactive pigments metabolism and storage capacity in tomato fruit

Tomato fruit consumption is influenced by flavor and nutrient quality. In the present study, we investigate the impact of water saving irrigation (WSI) as a pre-harvest management on flavor and nutrient quality of tomato fruit. Our results demonstrate that WSI-treated tomato fruit exhibited improved sensory scores as assessed by a taste panel, accompanied by elevated levels of SlGLK2 expression, sugars, acids, and carotenoid contents compared to non-treated fruit. Notably, WSI treatment significantly enhanced the development of chloroplast and plastoglobulus in chromoplast, which served as carotenoid storage sites and upregulated the expression of carotenoid biosynthetic genes. Furthermore, integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis revealed heightened expression of sugar and flavonoid metabolism pathways in WSI-treated tomato fruit. Remarkably, the master regulator SlMYB12 displayed a substantially increased expression due to WSI. These findings suggest that WSI is an effective and sustainable approach to enhance the pigments metabolism and storage capacity as well as the organoleptic characteristics and nutritional value of tomato fruit, offering a win-win solution for both water conservation and quality improvement in agro-food production.

Finite element analysis of different pedicle screw internal fixations for first lumbar vertebral fracture in different sports conditions

OBJECTIVE

Lumbar fractures are the most common spinal injuries, and surgery is required for severe fracture. This study aimed to investigate the variations in motion and stress in varying states of activity after minimally invasive and traditional open pedicle screw placement for L1 vertebral fracture stabilization.

METHODS

We studied a male volunteer (26 years old) with no history of chronic back pain or lumbar spine trauma. We used the finite element method for this investigation. Using finite element software, we created a three-dimensional model of L1 vertebral compression fracture. We also constructed models for four percutaneous pedicle screws spanning the fractured vertebra and four screws traversing the damaged vertebra with transverse fixation.

RESULTS

In all three-dimensional movement directions, the open pedicle fixation system experienced maximum stress higher than its percutaneous counterpart. With axial spinal rotation, von Mises stress on the traditional open pedicle screw was considerably lower than that with percutaneous pedicle fixation, but peak stress was elevated at the transverse connection. Traditional open pedicle fixation displayed less maximum displacement than percutaneous pedicle internal fixation.

CONCLUSIONS

During axial spinal movements, high peak stress is observed at the transverse connection. Patients should avoid excessive axial rotation of the spine during recovery.

Methylosome protein 50 is necessary for oogenesis in medaka

Methylosome protein 50 (Mep50) functions as a partner to protein arginine methyltransferase 5. MEP50 serves as a coactivator for both the androgen receptor and estrogen receptor in humans. Mep50 plays a crucial role in the development of germ cells in Drosophila. The precise role of Mep50 in oogenesis remains unclear in vertebrates. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of Mep50 in oogenesis in medaka fish. Disruption of Mep50 resulted in impaired oogenesis and the formation of multiple oocyte follicles in medaka. RNA-seq analysis revealed significant differential gene expression in the mutant ovary, with 4542 genes up-regulated and 1264 genes down-regulated. The regulated genes were found to be enriched in cellular matrices and ECM-receptor interaction, the Notch signaling pathway, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, the MAPK signaling pathway, the Hippo signaling pathway, and the Jak-Stat pathway, among others. In addition, the genes related to the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis, steroid metabolism, and IGF system were impacted. Furthermore, the mutation of mep50 caused significant alterations in alternative splicing of pre-mRNA in ovarian cells. Quantitative RT-PCR results validated the findings from RNA-seq analysis in the specific genes, including akt2, map3k5, yap1, fshr, cyp17a, igf1, ythdc2, cdk6, and col1, among others. The findings of this study demonstrate that Mep50 plays a crucial role in oogenesis, participating in a diverse range of biological processes such as steroid metabolism, cell matrix regulation, and signal pathways. This may be achieved through the regulation of gene expression via mRNA splicing in medaka ovarian cells.

The first observation of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}K^{+} and Ω_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} decays is reported, using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4  fb^{-1}, collected with the LHCb detector between 2016 and 2018. The branching fraction ratios are measured to be B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}K^{+})/B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+})=[6.08±0.51(stat)±0.40(syst)]%,B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+})/B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+})=[15.81±0.87(stat)±0.44(syst)±0.16(ext)]%. In addition, using the Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+} decay channel, the Ω_{c}^{0} baryon mass is measured to be M(Ω_{c}^{0})=2695.28±0.07(stat)±0.27(syst)±0.30(ext)  MeV, improving the precision of the previous world average by a factor of 4.

Search for New Phenomena in Two-Body Invariant Mass Distributions Using Unsupervised Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection at sqrt[s]=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

Searches for new resonances are performed using an unsupervised anomaly-detection technique. Events with at least one electron or muon are selected from 140  fb^{-1} of pp collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV recorded by ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider. The approach involves training an autoencoder on data, and subsequently defining anomalous regions based on the reconstruction loss of the decoder. Studies focus on nine invariant mass spectra that contain pairs of objects consisting of one light jet or b jet and either one lepton (e,μ), photon, or second light jet or b jet in the anomalous regions. No significant deviations from the background hypotheses are observed. Limits on contributions from generic Gaussian signals with various widths of the resonance mass are obtained for nine invariant masses in the anomalous regions.

[Epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023]

Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023. Methods: The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed. Results: A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M (Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant (P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age (P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion: Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

Enhanced Production of Λ_{b}^{0} Baryons in High-Multiplicity pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

The production rate of Λ_{b}^{0} baryons relative to B^{0} mesons in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[s]=13  TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment. The ratio of Λ_{b}^{0} to B^{0} production cross sections shows a significant dependence on both the transverse momentum and the measured charged-particle multiplicity. At low multiplicity, the ratio measured at LHCb is consistent with the value measured in e^{+}e^{-} collisions, and increases by a factor of ∼2 with increasing multiplicity. At relatively low transverse momentum, the ratio of Λ_{b}^{0} to B^{0} cross sections is higher than what is measured in e^{+}e^{-} collisions, but converges with the e^{+}e^{-} ratio as the momentum increases. These results imply that the evolution of heavy b quarks into final-state hadrons is influenced by the density of the hadronic environment produced in the collision. Comparisons with several models and implications for the mechanisms enforcing quark confinement are discussed.
