Abstract
Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who undergo neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy may achieve pathological complete response (pCR). The incidence of recurrence is low among patients with pCR, there is still a lack of consensus on postoperative treatment and follow-up strategy. This review summarizes the recurrence patterns of patients with pCR, including distant metastasis rate, characteristics of distant metastasis time and location, local recurrence rate, and local recurrence time. The aim is to provide reference for the postoperative treatment and follow-up strategy of patients with pCR. Patients with pCR have a low recurrence rate, with infrequent local recurrence. Distant metastasis is the most common recurrence pattern, primarily in the lung and secondly in the regional lymph node. The time of recurrence is delayed which suggests the need for appropriate adjustments to follow-up strategy, extending the follow-up period, and placing emphasis on monitoring sites prone to recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Nicotine metabolic ratio (NMR) has been associated with nicotine metabolism and smoking characteristics. However, there are few studies on the potential association between NMR and smoking cessation efficacy in smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China or elsewhere. METHODS This study was a stratified block randomized controlled trial for smoking cessation in Chinese smokers with COPD. NMR was used as a stratification factor; slow metabolizers were defined as those with NMR <0.31, and normal metabolizers as those with NMR ≥0.31. Participants were randomly assigned to the varenicline or bupropion group. Follow-up visits were conducted at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 and 24 weeks. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-four participants were recruited and analysed from February 2019 to June 2022. In normal metabolizers, the 9-12 weeks continuous abstinence rate of varenicline (43.1%) was higher than in bupropion (23.5%) (OR = 2.47, 95% CI 1.05-5.78, p = 0.038). There was no significant difference in abstinence rates between treatment groups in slow metabolizers (54.1% vs. 45.9%, OR = 1.39, 95% CI 0.68-2.83, p = 0.366). For slow metabolizers, the total score of side effects in the varenicline group was significantly higher than the bupropion group (p = 0.048), while there was no significant difference in side effects between groups for normal metabolizers (p = 0.360). CONCLUSION Varenicline showed better efficacy than bupropion in normal metabolizers, and bupropion showed equivalent efficacy in slow metabolizers with less side effects. According to our study, NMR provides a better justification for both scientific research and tailoring optimal pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation among smokers in COPD.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the recurrence pattern of rectal cancer patients with radical surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Methods: The clinicopathological characteristics and follow-up information of rectal cancer patients with radical surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from June 2004 to December 2017 were retrospectively collected. The recurrence pattern including the time and site was investigated. Results: The age of 537 patients was (55.5±11.7) years, of whom 361 were male (67.2%). The median follow-up time [M(Q1,Q3)] was 77.9 (64.5, 95.6) months. Moreover, 30.7% (165/537) of patients had distant metastasis or local recurrence; 26.8% (144/537) of patients had distant metastasis; 5.6% (30/537) of patients had local recurrence; 1.7% (9/537) of patients had both distant metastasis and local recurrence. In all the recurrent patients, 23.6% (39/165) were in the first year after surgery, followed by 27.3% (45/165) in the second year, 17.0% (28/165) in the third year, and 15.8% (26/165) after five years. According to the risk curve drawn by the life table, the highest metastasis risk of patients occurred in the second year after surgery, and the metastasis risk peak occurred again after more than five years. The lung was the most common metastatic organ, accounting for 47.9% (69/144), followed by the liver (18.8%, 27/144). The ratios of the recurrent patients in each ypTNM stage were 9.5% (8/84), 12.0% (12/100), 26.5% (41/155), 52.5% (104/198), respectively. The proportion of recurrent patients in tumor regression grade (TRG) 1-2 and TRG 3-5 patients were 19.2% (38/198) and 37.5% (127/339), respectively. Conclusions: The recurrence pattern of patients undergoing radical surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is mainly distant metastasis. The lung is the primary metastatic organ. The risk of distant metastasis and local recurrence is high in the first three years after surgery, and there is still high risk of recurrence after five years. For patients with ypTNM stage 2, 3 and TRG3-5, the postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and long-term follow-up should be strengthened.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological factors affecting long-term disease-free survival and the characteristics of local recurrence or distance metastasis of rectal cancer patients with complete pathological response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Methods: The clinicopathological data and follow-up information of patients with a complete pathological response of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from June 2004 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. The clinicopathological factors affecting the long-term disease-free survival of patients were analyzed to build a prediction model of local recurrence and distant metastasis and to evaluate the benefits of postoperative chemotherapy. Results: The age of 108 patients was(56.3±11.6) years, of which 68 were males (63.0%); The median follow-up time was 79.9 (61.8, 112.6) months. There were 12 patients (11.1%) who had a local recurrence or distant metastasis. The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 91.1% with 9 patients who experienced recurrence. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the residual tumor or scar (HR=8.41, 95%CI: 1.08-65.22, P=0.042) and the distance from the lower edge of the tumor to the anal margin before treatment (HR=4.54, 95%CI: 1.23-16.81, P=0.023) were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis. The prognosis of patients was stratified based on relevant factors. The 5-year cumulative disease-free survival rate of those patients receiving postoperative standardized chemotherapy was 92.0%, while for patients who did not receive or complete standardized chemotherapy, the 5-year cumulative disease-free survival rate was 82.3%. Conclusions: The maximum diameter of the residual tumor or scar and the distance from the lower edge of the tumor to the anal margin before treatment were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with a complete pathological response. Patients with independent risk factors could benefit from the standardized postoperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
Distal vaginal atresia is a rare abnormality of female reproductive tract in which the vagina is closed or absent. The distal vagina may be replaced by fibrous tissue and the condition is often not diagnosed until a girl fails to begin having periods at puberty. Although it is a congenital disorder, potential genetic causes of distal vaginal atresia are still unknown. We recruited a cohort of 39 patients with distal vaginal atresia and analyzed their phenotypic and genetic features. In addition to the complaint of distal vaginal atresia, approximately 17.9% (7/39) of the patients had other Müllerian anomalies, and 17.9% (7/39) of the patients had other structural abnormalities, including renal-tract, skeletal and cardiac anomalies. Using genome sequencing, we identified two fragment duplications on 17q12 encompassing HNF1B and LHX1, two dosage-sensitive genes with candidate pathogenic variants, in two unrelated patients. A large fragment of uniparental disomy was detected in another patient, affecting genes involved in cell morphogenesis and connective tissue development. Additionally, we reported two variants on TBX3 and AXL, leading to distal vaginal atresia in mutated mouse model, in our clinical subjects for the first time. Essential biological functions of these detected genes with pathogenic variants included regulating reproductive development and cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. We displayed the comprehensive clinical and genetic characteristic of a cohort with distal vaginal atresia and they were highly heterogeneous both phenotypically and genetically. The duplication of 17q12 in our cohort could help to expand its phenotypic spectrum and potential contribution to the distal vaginal atresia. Our findings of pathogenic genetic variants and associated phenotypes in our cohort could provide evidence and new insight for further research attempting to reveal genetic causes of distal vaginal atresia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute myocardial injury in patients with COVID-19 infection has been recognised as one important complication associated with in-hospital mortality. The potential dose-response effect of cardiac troponin (cTn) concentrations on adverse clinical outcomes has not been systematically studied. Hence, we will conduct a comprehensive dose-response meta-analysis to quantitatively evaluate the relationship between elevated cTn concentrations and in-hospital adverse clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. METHODS We will search PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and ISI Knowledge via Web of Science databases, as well as preprint databases (medRxiv and bioRxiv), from inception to October 2021, to identify all retrospective and prospective cohorts and randomised controlled studies using related keywords. The primary outcome will be all-cause mortality during hospitalisation. The secondary outcome will be major adverse event (MAE). To conduct a dose-response meta-analysis of the potential linear or restricted cubic spline regression relationship between elevated cTn concentrations and all-cause mortality or MAE, studies with three or more categories of cTn concentrations will be included. Univariable or multivariable meta-regression and subgroup analyses will be conducted to compare elevated and non-elevated categories of cTn concentration. Sensitivity analyses will be used to assess the robustness of our results by removing each included study at one time to obtain and evaluate the remaining overall estimates of all-cause mortality or MAE. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION In accordance with the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee of Fuwai Hospital, ethical approval was waived for this systematic review protocol. This meta-analysis will be disseminated through a peer-reviewing process for journal publication and conference communication. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020216059.

Abstract
Purpose Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status is both an independent prognostic factor and a predictive factor for the efficacy of targeted therapy for breast cancer, so it is critical to accurately detect HER2 protein expression and/or gene amplification. According to the recommendations of the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology and College of American Pathologists (ASCO/CAP) guidelines for HER2 breast cancer testing, an additional test should be pursued on a different block from the same tumor as one of the options for patients with immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2+ and a HER2/CEP17 ratio of < 2.0 with an average HER2 signals per tumor cell of ≥ 4.0 and < 6.0 by reflex test using dual-probe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (double-equivocal HER2). Our aim in this study is to explore the consistency of HER2 status between the two blocks. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 5685 primary invasive breast cancers between April 2015 and January 2019 from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. For cases with double-equivocal HER2 revealed in initial blocks, HER2 gene status was evaluated by FISH in a different block from the same tumor. The FISH score was interpreted according to the 2013 ASCO/CAP guidelines for HER2 testing. Results In our cohort of 5685 specimens, the overall HER2 IHC3+, 2+, 1+ and 0 cases were 20.5%, 31.8%, 28.3%, and 19.5%, respectively. Then, 13.7%, 66.3%, and 20.0% of HER2 amplification, non-amplification, and equivocation rates were found, respectively, in IHC2+ patients (n = 1777) by reflex FISH assay. For specimens with double-equivocal HER2 (n = 333), HER2 status was assessed in another block from the same tumor by FISH and then the frequency of HER2 positive, negative, and equivocation was estimated at 5.7%, 22.5%, and 71.8%, respectively. Because double-equivocal HER2 cases are classified in the HER2 negative category by the 2018 ASCO/CAP HER2 testing guidelines, only 1.3% (19/1511) of HER2 positive patients were determined through additional HER2 testing in another block from the HER2 negative population. Conclusions HER2 status in different blocks from the same tumor in primary invasive breast cancer was highly concordant. Our data supported the recommendation of the 2018 ASCO/CAP HER2 testing guidelines in breast cancer to remove the suggestion for additional HER2 testing using another block contained in the previous version.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, a growing body of epidemiological studies found the effects of temperature on cardiovascular disease, including the risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Our study aimed to investigate whether there is an association between extremely temperature and acute myocardial infarction hospital admission in Beijng, China. We obtained 81029 AMI cases and daily temperature data from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2016. We employed a time series design and modeled distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) to analyze effects of temperature on daily AMI cases. Compared with the 10th percentile temperature measured by daily mean temperature (Tmean), daily minimum temperature (Tmin) and daily minimum apparent temperature (ATmin), the cumulative relative risks (CRR) at 1st percentile of Tmean, Tmin and ATmin for AMI hospitalization were 1.15(95% CI: 1.02, 1.30), 1.24(95% CI: 1.11, 1.38) and 1.41(95% CI: 1.18, 1.68), respectively. Moderate low temperature (10th vs 25th) also had adverse impact on AMI events. The susceptive groups were males and people 65 years and older. No associations were found between high temperature and AMI risk. The main limitation of the study is temperature exposure was not individualized. These findings on cold-associated AMI hospitalization helps characterize the public health burden of cold and target interventions to reduce temperature induced AMI occurrence.

Population-based study of chlamydial and gonococcal infections among women in Shenzhen, China: Implications for programme planning. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0196516. [PMID: 29715319 PMCID: PMC5929501 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0196516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
This study was aimed to estimate the prevalences of chlamydia (CT) and gonococcal (NG) infections and explore risk factors associated with the CT infection among women in Shenzhen, China. We collected socio-demographic and clinical data from women (aged 20–60) and determined positivity of CT or NG by nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) with self-collected urine specimens. We estimated prevalence of CT and NG and determined risk factors associated with CT infection. Among 9,207 participants, 4.12% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.71%-4.53%) tested positive for CT and 0.17% (95% CIs, 0.09%-0.25%) for NG. Factors significantly associated with CT infection included being an ethnic minority (ethnicity other than Han China) (Adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.9; 95% CI, 1.2–3.0), using methods other than condom for contraception (AOR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.2–1.8), having a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes (AOR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.1–1.8), and experiencing reproductive tract symptoms in the past three months (AOR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0–1.7). we found that CT infection is prevalent among women in Shenzhen, China and associated with both demographic and behavioral factors. A comprehensive CT screening, surveillance and treatment programme targeting this population is warranted.
