Abstract
AIM To investigate whether dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) has the potential to non-invasively detect microenvironmental condition by quantitatively measuring blood perfusion, vessel wall permeability, and vascularity, and to elucidate the possible correlations between DCE-MRI quantitative parameters and the expression level of hypoxia, vascularity, and cell proliferation related molecular biomarkers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective single center clinical study, 58 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer underwent DCE-MRI before anticancer treatment were enrolled. Ktrans, Kep, Ve, and Vp were generated from Extended Toft's model. Then patients conducted colposcopy biopsy within 1 week after DCE-MRI. Pretreatment expression levels of HIF-1α, VEGF and Ki-67 were assessed and scored by immunohistochemistry on colposcopy obtained tumor specimens. RESULTS In HIF-1α low-expression group, Ktrans (p=0.031) and Kep (p=0.012) values were significantly higher than the high-expression group. In VEGF high-expression group, Ktrans (p=0.044) and Ve values (p=0.021) were significantly higher than the low-expression group. In Ki-67 high-expression group, Ktrans (p=0.026) and Kep (p=0.033) were significantly higher than the low-expression group. Multiple linear regression analyses and Pearson correlation revealed that Ktrans independently negatively correlated with HIF-1α expression, Ve independently positively correlated with VEGF, and Kep independently positively correlated with Ki-67. The area under the ROC curves of Ktrans for HIF-1α, Ve for VEGF, and Kep for Ki-67 were 0.728, 0.743, 0.730, respectively. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that DCE-MRI quantitative parameters could be potentially used as imaging markers for non-invasively detecting microenvironmental hypoxia, vascularity and proliferation in cervical cancer patients.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the glymphatic system and alterations in the structure and function of the brain in white matter hyperintensity (WMH) patients. MRI data were collected from 27 WMH patients and 23 healthy controls. We calculated the along perivascular space (ALPS) indices, the anterior corner distance of the lateral ventricle, and the width of the third ventricle for each subject. The DPABISurf tool was used to calculate the cortical thickness and cortical area. In addition, data processing assistant for resting-state fMRI was used to calculate regional homogeneity, degree centrality, amplitude low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF), and voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC). In addition, each WMH patient was evaluated on the Fazekas scale. Finally, the correlation analysis of structural indicators and functional indicators with bilateral ALPS indices was investigated using Spearman correlation analysis. The ALPS indices of WMH patients were lower than those of healthy controls (left: t = -4.949, P < 0.001; right: t = -3.840, P < 0.001). This study found that ALFF, fALFF, regional homogeneity, degree centrality, and VMHC values in some brain regions of WMH patients were alternated (AlphaSim corrected, P < 0.005, cluster size > 26 voxel, rmm value = 5), and the cortical thickness and cortical area of WMH patients showed trend changes (P < 0.01, cluster size > 20 mm2, uncorrected). Interestingly, we found significantly positive correlations between the left ALPS indices and degree centrality values in the superior temporal gyrus (r = 0.494, P = 0.009, P × 5 < 0.05, Bonferroni correction). Our results suggest that glymphatic system impairment is related to the functional centrality of local connections in patients with WMH. This provides a new perspective for understanding the pathological mechanisms of cognitive impairment in the WMH population.

Abstract
Gray matter (GM) atrophies were observed in multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (both anti-aquaporin-4 antibody-positive [AQP4+], and -negative [AQP4-] subtypes NMOSD), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). Revealing the pathogenesis of brain atrophy in these disorders would help their differential diagnosis and guide therapeutic strategies. To determine the neurobiological underpinnings of GM atrophies in multiple sclerosis, AQP4+ NMOSD, AQP4- NMOSD, and MOGAD, we conducted a virtual histology analysis that links T1-weighted image derived GM atrophy and gene expression using a multicenter cohort of 324 patients with multiple sclerosis, 197 patients with AQP4+ NMOSD, 75 patients with AQP4- NMOSD, 47 patients with MOGAD, and 2,169 healthy controls (HCs). First, interregional GM atrophy profiles across the cortical and subcortical regions were determined by Cohen's d between patients with multiple sclerosis, AQP4+ NMOSD, AQP4- NMOSD, MOGAD and HCs. Then, the GM atrophy profiles were spatially correlated with the gene expressions extracted from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, respectively. Finally, we explored the virtual histology of clinical feature relevant GM atrophy by subgroup analysis that stratified by physical disability, disease duration, number of relapses, lesion burden, and cognitive function. Multiple sclerosis showed severe widespread GM atrophy pattern, mainly involving subcortical nuclei and brainstem. AQP4+ NMOSD showed obvious widespread GM atrophy pattern, predominately located in occipital cortex as well as cerebellum. AQP4- NMOSD showed mild widespread GM atrophy pattern, mainly located in frontal and parietal cortices. MOGAD showed GM atrophy mainly involving the frontal and temporal cortices. High expression of genes specific to microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and endothelial cells in multiple sclerosis, S1 pyramidal cells in AQP4+ NMOSD, as well as S1 and CA1 pyramidal cells in MOGAD had spatial correlations with GM atrophy profiles were observed, while no atrophy profile related gene expression was found in AQP4- NMOSD. Virtual histology of clinical feature relevant GM atrophy mainly pointed to the shared neuronal and endothelial cells among the four neuroinflammatory diseases. The unique underlying virtual histology patterns were microglia, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes for multiple sclerosis; astrocytes for AQP4+ NMOSD; and oligodendrocytes for MOGAD. Neuronal and endothelial cells were shared potential targets across these neuroinflammatory diseases. These findings might help their differential diagnosis and optimal therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Although entanglement is considered as an essential resource for quantum information processing, whether entanglement helps for energy conversion or output in the quantum regime is still lack of experimental witness. Here, we report on an energy-conversion device operating as a quantum engine with the working medium acted by two entangled ions confined in a harmonic potential. The two ions are entangled by virtually coupling to one of the vibrational modes shared by the two ions, and the quantum engine couples to a quantum load, which is another shared vibrational mode. We explore the energy conversion efficiency of the quantum engine and investigate the useful energy (i.e., the maximum extractable work) stored in the quantum load by tuning the two ions in different degrees of entanglement as well as detecting the change of the phonons in the load. Our observation provides, for the first time, quantitative evidence that entanglement fuels the useful energy produced by the quantum engine, but not helpful for the energy conversion efficiency. We consider that our results may be useful to the study of quantum batteries for which one of the most indexes is the maximum extractable energy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of irisin in exercise-induced improvement of renal function in type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS Forty male SD rats aged 4-6 weeks were randomized into normal control group, type 2 diabetes mellitus model group, diabetic exercise (DE) group and diabetic irisin (DI) group (n=8). The rats in DE group were trained with treadmill running for 8 weeks, and those in DI group were given scheduled irisin injections for 8 weeks. After the treatments, blood biochemical parameters of the rats were examined, and renal histopathology was observed with HE, Masson and PAS staining. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels in the rats'kidneys. RESULTS The diabetic rats showed significantly increased levels of fasting insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen with lowered serum irisin level (all P < 0.05). Compared with those in DM group, total cholesterol, triglyceride, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were decreased and serum irisin levels were increased in both DE and DI groups (all P < 0.05). The rats in DM group showed obvious structural disorders and collagen fiber deposition in the kidneys, which were significantly improved in DE group and DI group. Both regular exercises and irisin injections significantly ameliorated the reduction of FNDC5, LC3-II/I, Atg7, Beclin-1, p-AMPK, AMPK and SIRT1 protein expressions and lowered of p62 protein expression in the kidneys of the diabetic rats (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Both exercise and exogenous irisin treatment improve nephropathy in type 2 diabetic rats possibly due to irisin-mediated activation of the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway in the kidneys to promote renal autophagy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal cord and brain atrophy are common in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) but harbor distinct patterns accounting for disability and cognitive impairment. METHODS This study included 209 NMOSD and 304 RRMS patients and 436 healthy controls. Non-negative matrix factorization was used to parse differences in spinal cord and brain atrophy at subject level into distinct patterns based on structural MRI. The weights of patterns were obtained using a linear regression model and associated with Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and cognitive scores. Additionally, patients were divided into cognitive impairment (CI) and cognitive preservation (CP) groups. RESULTS Three patterns were observed in NMOSD: (1) Spinal Cord-Deep Grey Matter (SC-DGM) pattern was associated with high EDSS scores and decline of visuospatial memory function; (2) Frontal-Temporal pattern was associated with decline of language learning function; and (3) Cerebellum-Brainstem pattern had no observed association. Patients with CI had higher weights of SC-DGM pattern than CP group. Three patterns were observed in RRMS: (1) DGM pattern was associated with high EDSS scores, decreased information processing speed, and decreased language learning and visuospatial memory functions; (2) Frontal-Temporal pattern was associated with overall cognitive decline; and (3) Occipital pattern had no observed association. Patients with CI trended to have higher weights of DGM and Frontal-Temporal patterns than CP group. CONCLUSION This study estimated the heterogeneity of spinal cord and brain atrophy patterns in NMOSD and RRMS patients at individual level, and evaluated the clinical relevance of these patterns, which may contribute to stratifying participants for targeted therapy.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To investigate whether clinical and gray matter (GM) atrophy indicators can predict disability in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and to enhance the interpretability and intuitiveness of a predictive machine learning model. MATERIALS AND METHODS 145 and 50 RRMS patients with structural MRI and at least 1-year follow-up Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) results were retrospectively enrolled and placed in the discovery and external test cohorts, respectively. Six clinical and radiomics feature-based machine learning classifiers were trained and tested to predict disability progression in the discovery cohort and validated in the external test set. Partial dependence plot (PDP) analysis and a Shiny web application were conducted to enhance the interpretability and intuitiveness. RESULTS In the discovery cohort, 98 patients had disability stability, and 47 patients were classified as having disability progression. In the external test set, 35 patients were disability stable, and 15 patients had disability progression. Models trained with both clinical and radiomics features (area under the curve (AUC), 0.725-0.950) outperformed those trained with clinical (AUC, 0.600-0.740) or radiomics features only (AUC, 0.615-0.945). Among clinical+ radiomics feature models, the logistic regression (LR) classifier-based model performed best, with an AUC of 0.950. Only the radiomics feature-only models were applied in the external test set due to the data collection problem and showed fair performance, with AUCs ranging from 0.617 to 0.753. PDP analysis showed that female patients and those with lower volume, surface area, and symbol digit modalities test (SDMT) scores; greater mean curvature and age; and no disease modifying therapy (DMT) had increased probabilities of disease progression. Finally, a Shiny web application (https://lauralin1104.shinyapps.io/LRshiny/) was developed to calculate the risk of disability progression. CONCLUSION Interpretable and intuitive machine learning approaches based on clinical and GM atrophy indicators can help physicians predict disability progression in RRMS patients for clinical decision-making and patient management.

Abstract
Approximately 36% of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) suffer from severe visual and motor disability (blindness or light perception or unable to walk) with abnormalities of whole-brain functional networks. However, it remains unclear how whole-brain functional networks and their dynamic properties are related to clinical disability in patients with NMOSD. Our study recruited 30 NMOSD patients (37.70 ± 11.99 years) and 45 healthy controls (HC, 41.84 ± 11.23 years). The independent component analysis, sliding-window approach and graph theory analysis were used to explore the static strength, time-varying and topological properties of large-scale functional networks and their associations with disability in NMOSD. Compared to HC, NMOSD patients showed significant alterations in dynamic networks rather than static networks. Specifically, NMOSD patients showed increased occurrence (fractional occupancy; P < 0.001) and more dwell times of the low-connectivity state (P < 0.001) with fewer transitions (P = 0.028) between states than HC, and higher fractional occupancy, increased dwell times of the low-connectivity state and lower transitions were related to more severe disability. Moreover, NMOSD patients exhibited altered small-worldness, decreased degree centrality and reduced clustering coefficients of hub nodes in dynamic networks, related to clinical disability. NMOSD patients exhibited higher occurrence and more dwell time in low-connectivity states, along with fewer transitions between states and decreased topological organizations, revealing the disrupted communication and coordination among brain networks over time. Our findings could provide new perspective to help us better understand the neuropathological mechanism of the clinical disability in NMOSD.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the impact of diet on glycemic control in community-managed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and provide evidence for implementing prevention strategies and measures for diabetes patients. Methods: Eight communities were randomly selected from Changshu and Wuhan in 2015, and T2DM patients managed in the community were selected to conduct questionnaire surveys, physical measurements, and blood glucose testing. Factor analysis was used to obtain dietary patterns. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting glycemic control. Results: Finally, 1 818 T2DM patients were included, and the control rate of FPG was 57.59% (95%CI: 55.30%-59.86%), and the control rate of 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG) was 24.90% (95%CI: 22.93%- 26.91%). Five dietary patterns were obtained by factor analysis: animal food pattern, fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns, vegetable-grain pattern, egg-milk-bean pattern, and oil-salt patterns. No-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the reduced probability of FPG control was related to animal food pattern (OR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.52-0.98) and fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns (OR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.51-0.97). The decrease in the 2 h PBG control probability was related to fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns (OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.40-0.90). The increased probability of FPG and 2 h postprandial glucose control were both related to vegetable-grain pattern (OR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.03-1.94; OR=1.68, 95%CI: 1.13-2.51) and egg-milk-bean pattern (OR=1.75, 95%CI: 1.25-2.46; OR=1.56, 95%CI: 1.00-2.42). Compared with the Q4 group of egg-milk-bean pattern, the FPG control rate of the combination of "fruit-aquatic products-potato pattern (Q4 group), vegetable-grain pattern (Q2 group), egg-milk-bean pattern (Q3 group)" was higher (OR=6.79, 95%CI: 1.15-40.23, P=0.035). Compared with the Q4 group of vegetable-grain pattern, the combination of "fruit-aquatic products-potato pattern (Q4 group), vegetable-grain pattern (Q3 group), egg-milk-bean pattern (Q2 group), oil-salt pattern (Q2 group)" had higher control rate of 2 h PBG (OR=12.78, 95%CI: 1.26-130.05, P=0.031). Conclusions: A proper combination of dietary patterns and dietary patterns are more conducive to the control of FPG and 2 h PBG in T2DM patients managed in the communities of Wuhan and Changshu. Patient nutrition education should be strengthened, and the food-matching ability of patients should be improved.

Abstract
Objective To assess the alteration of individual brain morphological and functional network topological properties and their clinical significance in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Materials and methods Eighteen patients with NMOSD and twenty-two healthy controls (HCs) were included. The clinical assessment of NMOSD patients involved evaluations of disability status, cognitive function, and fatigue impact. For each participant, brain images, including high-resolution T1-weighted images for individual morphological brain networks (MBNs) and resting-state functional MR images for functional brain networks (FBNs) were obtained. Topological properties were calculated and compared for both MBNs and FBNs. Then, partial correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationships between the altered network properties and clinical variables. Finally, the altered network topological properties were used to classify NMOSD patients from HCs and to analyses time- to-progression of the patients. Results The average Expanded Disability Status Scale score of NMOSD patients was 1.05 (range from 0 to 2), indicating mild disability. Compared to HCs, NMOSD patients exhibited a higher normalized characteristic path length (λ) in their MBNs (P = 0.0118, FDR corrected) but showed no significant differences in the global properties of FBNs (p: 0.405-0.488). Network-based statistical analysis revealed that MBNs had more significantly altered connections (P< 0.01, NBS corrected) than FBNs. Altered nodal properties of MBNs were correlated with disease duration or fatigue scores (P< 0.05/6 with Bonferroni correction). Using the altered nodal properties of MBNs, the accuracy of classification of NMOSD patients versus HCs was 96.4%, with a sensitivity of 93.3% and a specificity of 100%. This accuracy was better than that achieved using the altered nodal properties of FBNs. Nodal properties of MBN significantly predicted Expanded Disability Status Scale worsening in patients with NMOSD. Conclusion The results indicated that patients with mild disability NMOSD exhibited compensatory increases in local network properties to maintain overall stability. Furthermore, the alterations in the morphological network nodal properties of NMOSD patients not only had better relevance for clinical assessments compared with functional network nodal properties, but also exhibited predictive values of EDSS worsening.

Abstract
Central nervous sequelae are often reported in recovered patients with COVID-19. It is not clear whether recovered COVID-19 patients have glymphatic impairment and clinical correlation. In this study, we demonstrated that mild COVID-19 patients experienced asymmetric bilateral glymphatic function decline after four months of recovery, and the decrease in glymphatic function was more obvious in older recovered patients. Our results further showed that recovered patients with right-sided glymphatic dysfunction experienced a greater proportion of cognitive decline (MoCA score <26) than patients with left-sided glymphatic dysfunction. With COVID-19 infection over 90% of the general population currently, future studies of cognitive disorders in the older population should consider the impact of COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
AIM Bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) is a proven treatment option for patients with both obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there is a lack of comprehensive reporting on the short-term remission rates of diabetes, and the existing data are inadequate. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the factors that may contribute to diabetes remission (DR) in patients with obesity and T2DM, 3 months after undergoing BMS. Furthermore, our objective was to develop a risk-predicting model using a nomogram. METHODS In total, 389 patients with obesity and T2DM, who had complete preoperative information and underwent either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery between January 2014 and May 2023, were screened in the Chinese Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Database. The patients were randomly divided into a training set (n = 272) and a validation set (n = 117) in a 7:3 ratio. Potential factors for DR were analysed through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses and then modelled using a nomogram. The model's performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves and the area under the curve (AUC). Calibration plots were used to assess prediction accuracy and decision curve analyses were conducted to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the model. RESULTS Glycated haemoglobin, triglycerides, duration of diabetes, insulin requirement and hypercholesterolaemia were identified as independent factors influencing DR. We have incorporated these five indicators into a nomogram, which has shown good efficacy in both the training cohort (AUC = 0.930) and validation cohort (AUC = 0.838). The calibration plots indicated that the model fits well in both the training and the validation cohorts, and decision curve analyses showed that the model had good clinical applicability. CONCLUSION The prediction model developed in this study holds predictive value for short-term DR following BMS in patients with obesity and T2DM.

Abstract
Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) may result in the disruption of brain functional networks and is strongly associated with cognitive impairment. However, the neural mechanisms affecting the neurocognitive function after TAI remain to be elucidated. We collected the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 28 patients with TAI and 28 matched healthy controls. An automated anatomical labeling atlas was used to construct a functional brain connectome. We utilized a graph theoretical approach to investigate the alterations in global and regional network topologies, and network-based statistics analysis was utilized to localize the connected networks more precisely. The current study revealed that patients with TAI and healthy controls both showed a typical small-world topology of the functional brain networks. However, patients with TAI exhibited a significantly lower local efficiency compared to healthy controls, whereas no significant difference emerged in other small-world properties (Cp, Lp, γ, λ, and σ) and global efficiency. Moreover, patients with TAI exhibited aberrant nodal centralities in some regions, including the frontal lobes, parietal lobes, caudate nucleus, and cerebellum bilaterally, and right olfactory cortex. The network-based statistics results showed alterations in the long-distance functional connections in the subnetwork in patients with TAI, involving these brain regions with significantly altered nodal centralities. These alterations suggest that brain networks of individuals with TAI present aberrant topological attributes that are associated with cognitive impairment, which could be potential biomarkers for predicting cognitive dysfunction and help understanding the neuropathological mechanisms in patients with TAI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the brain functional impairment of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with and without depressive symptoms and analyze the correlation between the degree of impairment and the severity of symptoms. METHOD Fourteen patients with OCD who met the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for OCD were included. The group having OCD with depression (OCDd) consisted of 15 patients, and 17 healthy controls (HC) matched for age and education were also included. The Yale-Brown OCD Scale (Y-BOCS) and the 24-item Hamilton Assessment of Depression Scale (HAMD) were administered to the OCD and OCDd groups. Resting-state functional brain magnetic resonance imaging was performed in the three groups of participants. RESULT The OCDd group had lower scores on the HAMD, Y-BOCS, and obsessive-compulsive thinking subscales compared with the OCD group (P < 0.05). The scores on the OCDd subscale were negatively correlated with the HAMD scores (R = - 0.568, P = 0.027). The OCDd group had higher regional homogeneity (ReHo) values in the lingual gyrus than the OCD group. The OCDd group had higher ReHo values in the lingual gyrus than the HC group, and the OCDd group had higher ReHo values than the HC group. These differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). After correction for multiple comparisons, significant difference was observed between the OCDd and HC groups (P<0.05). In the OCD group, the ReHo value of the lingual gyrus was negatively correlated with the Y-BOCS total score and the compulsive behavior subscale score (R = - 0.609, -0.552; P = 0.016, 0.033). CONCLUSION Abnormal ReHo values in the lingual gyrus and right medial superior frontal gyrus were found in the patients with OCDd. In the OCDd group, the ReHo values of the lingual gyrus were negatively correlated with the scores on the Y-BOCS total and obsessive-compulsive subscales, suggesting that abnormal local coherence of the lingual gyrus may be related to the severity of OCD.

Abstract
Purpose To explore resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of the amygdala in patients with low-back-related leg pain (LBLP). Patients and Methods For this prospective study, a total of 35 LBLP patients and 30 healthy controls (HCs) were included and underwent functional MRI and clinical assessments. Then, patients with LBLP were divided into acute LBLP (aLBLP) and chronic LBLP (cLBLP) subgroups. We further evaluated the between-group rsFC differences using left and right amygdala seeds in a whole-brain voxel analysis strategy. Finally, we performed correlation analysis between the rsFC values of altered regions and clinical indices. Results Compared to HCs, hypoconnectivity of the amygdala was observed in LBLP patients (P < 0.01, with correction). The amygdala's rsFC pattern was different between aLBLP and cLBLP patients: decreased the amygdala's FC to the right putamen, to the right paracentral lobule (PCL), or to the right posterior temporal lobe in aLBLP patients, while right amygdala to the bilateral anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the left postcentral gyrus (PoCG) in cLBLP patients. Correlation analysis showed that lower rsFC of the left amygdala to the right PCL was correlated with the von Frey filament (vF) test values of the left lumbar (p = 0.025) and right lumbar (p = 0.019) regions, and rsFC of the right amygdala to the left PoCG was correlated with lower vF test values of the left lumbar (p = 0.017), right lumbar spine (p = 0.003); to right PoCG was correlated with calf (p = 0.015); the rsFC of the right amygdala to bilateral ACC was negatively correlated with the pain rating index (p = 0.003). Conclusion LBLP patients showed amygdala hypoconnectivity, and the altered pattern of amygdala rsFC was different in the acute and chronic phases. Moreover, the amygdala hypoconnectivity was related to individual mechanical sensitivity (vF test) in LBLP patients.

Abstract
Aims To evaluate the breadth, depth and effectiveness of the evidence quality of all existing studies on bariatric surgery and mental health outcomes. Design Umbrella review of existing Systematic review and meta-analyses. Data sources PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Liberally databases of Systematic review and meta-analyses, and hand searching the reference lists of eligible publications. Results The search identified nine studies and 20 mental health outcomes from 1251 studies. Evidence shows that bariatric surgery is associated with significant improvement in areas such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders (including binge-eating disorder), and there is a significant harmful association with suicide, self-harm and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Among them, the most studied outcome is depression (4 articles). High-quality evidence proves that the score of depressive symptoms can be significantly improved after bariatric surgery within a two-year follow-up period and is not affected by the follow-up time. Low-quality evidence shows that bariatric surgery can significantly reduce depressive symptoms regardless of age and BMI, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.49. Regardless of the postoperative BMI, the anxiety symptoms of women over 40 still decreased significantly, with an OR of 0.58. Regardless of the type of surgery, surgery can significantly reduce the incidence of eating disorders and symptoms. However, there is no obvious change in the follow-up time of AUD in the first two years after bariatric surgery, and the risk increases obviously in the third year, with an OR of 1.825. The evidence of moderate research shows that the risk of suicide and self-harm increases after bariatric surgery. The odds ratios in the same population and the control group were 1.9 and 3.8 times, respectively. Conclusion Bariatric surgery is beneficial for improving most mental health-related outcomes. However, we should be cautious about the increased risk of adverse mental health after surgery, such as suicide, self-harm, and AUD.

Abstract
To evaluate the altered network topological properties and their clinical relevance in patients with posttraumatic diffuse axonal injury (DAI). Forty-seven participants were recruited in this study, underwent 3D T1-weighted and resting-state functional MRI, and had single-subject morphological brain networks (MBNs) constructed by Kullback-Leibler divergence and functional brain networks (FBNs) constructed by Pearson correlation measurement interregional similarity. The global and regional properties were analyzed and compared using graph theory and network-based statistics (NBS), and the relationship with clinical manifestations was assessed. Compared with those of the healthy subjects, MBNs of patients with DAI showed a higher path length ([Formula: see text]: P = 0.021, [Formula: see text]: P = 0.011), lower clustering ([Formula: see text]: P = 0.002) and less small-worldness ([Formula: see text]: P = 0.002), but there was no significant difference in the global properties of FBNs (P: 0.161-0.216). For nodal properties of MBNs and FBNs, several regions showed significant differences between patients with DAI and healthy controls (HCs) (P < 0.05, FDR corrected). NBS analysis revealed that MBNs have more altered morphological connections in the frontal parietal control network and interhemispheric connections (P < 0.05). DAI-related global or nodal properties of MBNs were correlated with physical disability or dyscognition (P < 0.05/7, with Bonferroni correction), and the alteration of functional topology properties mediates this relationship. Our results suggested that disrupted morphological topology properties, which are mediated by FBNs and correlated with clinical manifestations of DAI, play a critical role in the short-term and medium-term phases after trauma.

Abstract
Background Sex-related effects have been observed in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), but their impact on functional networks remains unclear. Objective To investigate the sex-related differences in connectivity strength and time variability within large-scale networks in RRMS. Methods This is a multi-center retrospective study. A total of 208 RRMS patients (135 females; 37.55 ± 11.47 years old) and 228 healthy controls (123 females; 36.94 ± 12.17 years old) were included. All participants underwent clinical and MRI assessments. Independent component analysis was used to extract resting-state networks (RSNs). We assessed the connectivity strength using spatial maps (SMs) and static functional network connectivity (sFNC), evaluated temporal properties and dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) patterns of RSNs using dFNC, and investigated their associations with structural damage or clinical variables. Results For static connectivity, only male RRMS patients displayed decreased SMs in the attention network and reduced sFNC between the sensorimotor network and visual or frontoparietal networks compared with healthy controls [P<0.05, false discovery rate (FDR) corrected]. For dynamic connectivity, three recurring states were identified for all participants: State 1 (sparse connected state; 42%), State 2 (middle-high connected state; 36%), and State 3 (high connected state; 16%). dFNC analyses suggested that altered temporal properties and dFNC patterns only occurred in females: female patients showed a higher fractional time (P<0.001) and more dwell time in State 1 (P<0.001) with higher transitions (P=0.004) compared with healthy females. Receiver operating characteristic curves revealed that the fraction time and mean dwell time of State 1 could significantly distinguish female patients from controls (area under the curve: 0.838-0.896). In addition, female patients with RRMS also mainly showed decreased dFNC in all states, particularly within cognitive networks such as the default mode, frontoparietal, and visual networks compared with healthy females (P < 0.05, FDR corrected). Conclusion Our results observed alterations in connectivity strength only in male patients and time variability in female patients, suggesting that sex-related effects may play an important role in the functional impairment and reorganization of RRMS.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Limited stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) is associated with poor prognosis. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of high-dose, hyperfractionated thoracic radiotherapy of 54 Gy in 30 fractions compared with standard dose (45 Gy in 30 fractions) as a first-line treatment for LS-SCLC. MATERIALS/METHODS The study was an open-label, randomized, phase 3 trial, done at 16 public hospitals in China. Key inclusion criteria were patients aged 18-70 years, with previously histologically or cytologically confirmed LS-SCLC, previously untreated or received 1-2 courses of intravenous cisplatin (75 mg/m²of body-surface area, on day 1 or divided into two days of each cycle) or carboplatin (area under the curve of 5 mg/mL per min, day 1 of each cycle)and intravenous etoposide (100 mg/m²of body-surface area, on days 1-3 of each cycle), and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive volumetric-modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) of 45 Gy in 30 fractions or the simultaneous integrated boost VMAT (SIB-VMAT) of 54 Gy in 30 fractions to the primary lung tumor and lymph node metastases starting 0-42 days after the first chemotherapy course. Both groups of patients received thoracic radiotherapy twice per day and 10 fractions per week. Prophylactic cranial radiation (PCI, 25 Gy in 10 fractions) was implemented to patients with responsive disease. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Safety was analyzed in the as-treated population. RESULTS Between June 30, 2017, and April 6, 2021, 224 eligible patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to 54 Gy (n = 108) or 45 Gy (n = 116). Median follow-up for the primary analysis was 45 months (IQR 41-48). Median overall survival was significantly improved in the 54 Gy group (62.4 months) compared with the 45 Gy group (43.1 months; p = 0.001). Median progression-free survival was significantly improved in the 54 Gy group (30.5 months) compared with the 45 Gy group (16.7 months; p = 0.044). The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were neutropenia (30 [28%] of 108 patients in the 54 Gy group vs 27 [23%] of 116 patients in the 45 Gy group), neutropenic infections (6 [6%] vs 2 [2%]), thrombocytopenia (13 [12%] vs 12 [10%]), anemia (6 [6%] vs 4 [3%]), and esophagitis (1 [1%] vs 3 [3%]). Treatment-related serious adverse events occurred in 9 [8%] patients in the 54 Gy group and 16 [14%] patients in the 45 Gy group. There were one treatment-related deaths in 54 Gy group (myocardial infarction). CONCLUSION Compared with standard thoracic radiotherapy dose of 45 Gy, the high dose of 54 Gy improved overall survival and progression-free survival without increasing toxicities in patients with LS-SCLC, supporting twice-daily hyperfractionated thoracic radiotherapy of 54 Gy with concurrent chemotherapy is an alternative treatment option for LS-SCLC. This study is complete and registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03214003.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study used independent component analysis (ICA) to investigate the connectivity patterns of resting-state functional large-scale brain networks in patients with early-onset bipolar disorder (BD). METHODS ICA was used to extract brain functional network components from 43 early-onset BD patients and 21 healthy controls (HCs). Then, the functional connectivity (FC) and functional network connectivity (FNC) within and between the independent brain networks was calculated, and the correlation between the connectivity changes and neuropsychological scale was evaluated. RESULTS Compared with HCs, FC increased in the right hippocampus and inferior temporal gyrus, and left triangular inferior frontal gyrus of the anterior default mode network (aDMN); right median cingulate and paracingulate gyri, and inferior parietal lobule of the posterior DMN (pDMN); and right precentral and postcentral gyrus of the sensorimotor network (SMN) in early-onset BD patients. However, FC decreased in the left superior frontal gyrus of the aDMN, left paracentral lobule of the SMN, and left lingual gyrus and calcarine of the visual network in early-onset BD patients. There was no significant correlation between FC values of differential brain regions within resting-state networks (RSNs) and neuropsychological scores (uncorrected p > 0.05). In addition, the FNC among the pDMN-auditory network, pDMN-visual network, left frontoparietal network (lFPN)-visual network, lFPN-aDMN and dorsal attention network-ventral attention network (DAN-VAN) were increased in early-onset BD patients. The zFNC of the pDMN-visual network was positively correlated with the anxiety/somatization score (r = 0.5833, p < 0.0001) and sleep disorders (r = 0.6150, p < 0.0001). The zFNC of the lFPN-aDMN was positively correlated with despair (r = 0.4505, p = 0.004 × 10 < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction). The zFNC of the DAN-VAN was positively correlated with cognitive impairment (r = 0.4598, p = 0.0032 × 10 < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction). The zFNC of the DAN-VAN showed a positive correlation trend with the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) total score (r = 0.4404, p = 0.005 × 10 = 0.05 after Bonferroni correction). CONCLUSIONS Patients with early-onset BD showed changes in a wide range of neural functional networks, involving changes in executive control, attention, perceptual regulation, cognition and other neural networks, which may provide new imaging evidence for understanding the pathogenesis of early-onset BD and for therapeutic intervention targets.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In conventional adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for pancreatic cancer, contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) helps to more precisely delineate primary gross tumor volume (GTV) than non-enhanced CT (NECT). However, frequent use of contrast medium can damage kidneys and prolong treatment time. Moreover, traditional manual delineation is labor-intensive and highly dependent on the experience of oncologists. Currently, automatic delineation based on deep learning with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)-based CT synthesis is one of the most feasible solutions to these problems. MATERIALS/METHODS A dataset of 35 pancreatic cancer patients was retrospectively collected from May 2021 to December 2022. All patients consist of a pair of NECT and CECT. We designed and developed an automatic delineation framework (Proposed) for GTV of pancreatic cancer based on Trans-cycleGAN and a modified 3D U-Net. TranscycleGAN can not only synthesize CECT from NECT, but can also augment the amount of CT images; then all real and synthesized CT images were used to train the modified 3D U-Net for automatic delineation of GTV; finally, our framework was able to automatically delineate GTV by NECT, but not only by CECT. Our framework was evaluated by dice similarity coefficient (DSC), 95% Harsdorff distance (95HD) and average surface distance (ASD) with oncologists' manual delineation ("gold standard"). RESULTS The evaluation results were summarized in Table 1. The proposed framework achieved the best automatic delineation results by NECT, which was superior to that of CECT: 0.917 & 0.903 of DSC, 2.498mm & 3.029mm of HD95, 0.481mm & 0.534mm of ASD, p < 0.05 for DSC and HD95. Specifically, it is significantly superior to the automatic delineation results using U-Net by CECT 0.917 & 0.818 of DSC, 2.498mm & 13.228mm of HD95, 0.481mm & 3.633mm of ASD, p < 0.05 for DSC. CONCLUSION We proposed an automatic delineation framework for contouring GTV in ART of pancreatic cancer based on deep learning and Trans-cycleGAN network. This framework could automatically delineate GTV and achieve better performance with NECT compared to CECT. Our method could not only reduce the use of contrast medium, but also increase the precision and effectiveness of tumor delineation, which could have a positive impact on precision radiotherapy.

Abstract
The specific topological changes in dynamic functional networks and their role in cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) brain function reorganization remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic functional connection (dFC) of patients with CSM, focusing on the temporal characteristics of the functional connection state patterns and the variability of network topological organization. Eighty-eight patients with CSM and 77 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited for resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. We applied the sliding time window analysis method and K-means clustering analysis to capture the dFC variability patterns of the two groups. The graph-theoretical approach was used to investigate the variance in the topological organization of whole-brain functional networks. All participants showed four types of dynamic functional connection states. The mean dwell time in state 2 was significantly different between the two groups. Particularly, the mean dwell time in state 2 was significantly longer in the CSM group than in the healthy control group. Among the four states, switching of relative brain networks mainly included the executive control network (ECN), salience network (SN), default mode network (DMN), language network (LN), visual network (VN), auditory network (AN), precuneus network (PN), and sensorimotor network (SMN). Additionally, the topological properties of the dynamic network were variable in patients with CSM. Dynamic functional connection states may offer new insights into intrinsic functional activities in CSM brain networks. The variance of topological organization may suggest instability of the brain networks in patients with CSM.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of cortical thickness on the identification accuracy of fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from 31 remitting MS, 20 acute MS, and 42 healthy controls (HCs). After preprocessing, we first calculated two-dimensional fALFF (2d-fALFF) maps using the DPABISurf toolkit, and 2d-fALFF per unit thickness was obtained by dividing 2d-fALFF by cortical thickness. Then, between-group comparison, clinical correlation, and classification analyses were performed in 2d-fALFF and 2d-fALFF per unit thickness maps. Finally, we also examined whether the effect of cortical thickness on 2d-fALFF maps was affected by the subfrequency band. Results In contrast with 2d-fALFF, more changed regions in 2d-fALFF per unit thickness maps were detected in MS patients, such as increased region of the right inferior frontal cortex and faded regions of the right paracentral lobule, middle cingulate cortex, and right medial temporal cortex. There was a significant positive correlation between the disease duration and the 2d-fALFF values in the left early visual cortex in remitting MS patients (r = 0.517, Bonferroni-corrected, p = 0.008 × 4 < 0.05). In contrast with 2d-fALFF, we detected a positive correlation between the 2d-fALFF per unit thickness of the right ventral stream visual cortex and the modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) scores (r = 0.555, Bonferroni-corrected, p = 0.017 × 4 > 0.05). For detecting MS patients, 2d-fALFF and 2d- fALFF per unit thickness both performed remarkably well in support vector machine (SVM) analysis, especially in the remitting phase (AUC = 86, 83%). Compared with 2d-fALFF, the SVM model of 2d-fALFF per unit thickness had significantly higher classification performance in distinguishing between remitting and acute MS. More changed regions and more clinically relevant 2d-fALFF per unit thickness maps in the subfrequency band were also detected in MS patients. Conclusion By dividing the functional value by the cortical thickness, the identification accuracy of fALFF in MS patients was detected to be potentially influenced by cortical thickness. Additionally, 2d-fALFF per unit thickness is a potential diagnostic marker that can be utilized to distinguish between acute and remitting MS patients. Notably, we observed similar variations in the subfrequency band.

Abstract
Brain morphometric alterations involve multiple brain regions on progression of the disease in multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and exhibit age-related degenerative changes during the pathological aging. Recent advance in brain morphometry as measured using MRI have leveraged Person-Based Similarity Index (PBSI) approach to assess the extent of within-diagnosis similarity or heterogeneity of brain neuroanatomical profiles between individuals of healthy populations and validate in neuropsychiatric disorders. Brain morphometric changes throughout the lifespan would be invaluable for understanding regional variability of age-related structural degeneration and the substrate of inflammatory demyelinating disease. Here, we aimed to quantify the neuroanatomical profiles with PBSI measures of cortical thickness (CT) and subcortical volumes (SV) in 263 MS, 207 NMOSD, and 338 healthy controls (HC) from six separate central datasets (aged 11-80). We explored the between-group comparisons of PBSI measures, as well as the advancing age and sex effects on PBSI measures. Compared to NMOSD, MS showed a lower extent of within-diagnosis similarity. Significant differences in regional contributions to PBSI score were observed in 29 brain regions between MS and NMOSD (P < 0.05/164, Bonferroni corrected), of which bilateral cerebellum in MS and bilateral parahippocampal gyrus in NMOSD represented the highest divergence between the two patient groups, with a high similarity effect within each group. The PBSI scores were generally lower with advancing age, but their associations showed different patterns depending on the age range. For MS, CT profiles were significantly negatively correlated with age until the early 30 s (ρ = -0.265, P = 0.030), while for NMOSD, SV profiles were significantly negatively correlated with age with 51 year-old and older (ρ = -0.365, P = 0.008). The current study suggests that PBSI approach could be used to quantify the variation in brain morphometric changes in CNS inflammatory demyelinating disease, and exhibited a greater neuroanatomical heterogeneity pattern in MS compared with NMOSD. Our results reveal that, as an MR marker, PBSI may be sensitive to distribute the disease-associated grey matter diversity and complexity. Disease-driven production of regionally selective and age stage-dependency changes in the neuroanatomical profile of MS and NMOSD should be considered to facilitate the prediction of clinical outcomes and assessment of treatment responses.

Abstract
Purpose White matter hyperintensity lesions (WMHL) in the brain are a consequence of cerebral small vessel disease and microstructural damage. Patients with WMHL have diverse clinical features, and hypertension, advanced age, obesity, and cognitive decline are often observed. However, whether these clinical features are linked to interrupted structural connectivity in the brain requires further investigation. This study therefore explores the white matter pathways associated with WMHL, with the objective of identifying neural correlates for clinical features in patients with WMHL. Methods Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and several clinical features (MoCA scores, hypertension scores, body mass index (BMI), duration of hypertension, total white matter lesion loads, and education.) highly related to WMHL were obtained in 16 patients with WMHL and 20 health controls. We used diffusion MRI connectometry to explore the relationship between clinical features and specific white matter tracts using DSI software. Results The results showed that the anterior splenium of the corpus callosum, the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, the anterior corpus callosum and the middle cerebellar peduncle were significantly correlated with hypertension scores (false discovery rate (FDR) = 0.044). The anterior splenium of the corpus callosum, the left thalamoparietal tract, the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, and the left cerebellar were significantly correlated with MoCA scores (FDR = 0.016). The anterior splenium of corpus callosum, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, cingulum fasciculus, and fornix/fimbria were significantly correlated with body mass index (FDR = 0.001). Conclusion Our findings show that hypertension score, MoCA score, and BMI are important clinical features in patients with WMHL, hypertension degree and higher BMI are associated with whiter matter local disconnection in patients with WMHL, and may contribute to understanding the cognitive impairments observed in patients with WMHL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cerebellum plays key roles in the pathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), but the way in which these conditions affect how the cerebellum communicates with the rest of the brain (its connectome) and associated genetic correlates remains largely unknown. METHODS Combining multimodal MRI data from 208 MS patients, 200 NMOSD patients and 228 healthy controls and brain-wide transcriptional data, this study characterized convergent and divergent alterations in within-cerebellar and cerebello-cerebral morphological and functional connectivity in MS and NMOSD, and further explored the association between the connectivity alterations and gene expression profiles. RESULTS Despite numerous common alterations in the two conditions, diagnosis-specific increases in cerebellar morphological connectivity were found in MS within the cerebellar secondary motor module, and in NMOSD between cerebellar primary motor module and cerebral motor- and sensory-related areas. Both diseases also exhibited decreased functional connectivity between cerebellar motor modules and cerebral association cortices with MS-specific decreases within cerebellar secondary motor module and NMOSD-specific decreases between cerebellar motor modules and cerebral limbic and default-mode regions. Transcriptional data explained > 37.5% variance of the cerebellar functional alterations in MS with the most correlated genes enriched in signaling and ion transport-related processes and preferentially located in excitatory and inhibitory neurons. For NMOSD, similar results were found but with the most correlated genes also preferentially located in astrocytes and microglia. Finally, we showed that cerebellar connectivity can help distinguish the three groups from each other with morphological connectivity as predominant features for differentiating the patients from controls while functional connectivity for discriminating the two diseases. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate convergent and divergent cerebellar connectome alterations and associated transcriptomic signatures between MS and NMOSD, providing insight into shared and unique neurobiological mechanisms underlying these two diseases.

Abstract
""We employed radiomics and clinical features to develop and validate a preoperative prediction model to estimate the omental metastases status of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). A total of 460 patients (training cohort, n = 250; test cohort, n = 106; validation cohort, n = 104) with LAGC who were confirmed T3/T4 stage by postoperative pathology were continuously collected retrospectively, including clinical data and preoperative arterial phase computed tomography images (APCT). Dedicated radiomics prototype software was used to segment the lesions and extract features from the preoperative APCT images. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to select the extracted radiomics features, and a radiomics score model was constructed. Finally, a prediction model of omental metastases status and a nomogram were constructed combining the radiomics scores and selected clinical features. An area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to validate the capability of the prediction model and nomogram in the training cohort. Calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the prediction model and nomogram. The prediction model was internally validated by the test cohort. In addition, 104 patients from another hospital's clinical and imaging data were gathered for external validation. In the training cohort, the combined prediction (CP) model (AUC 0.871, 95% CI 0.798-0.945) of the radiomics scores combined with the clinical features, compared with clinical features prediction (CFP) model (AUC 0.795, 95% CI 0.710-0.879) and radiomics scores prediction (RSP) model (AUC 0.805, 95% CI 0.730-0.879), had the better predictive ability. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test of the CP model showed that the prediction model did not deviate from the perfect fitting (p = 0.893). In the DCA, the clinical net benefit of the CP model was higher than that of the CFP model and RSP model. In the test and validation cohorts, the AUC values of the CP model were 0.836 (95% CI 0.726-0.945) and 0.779 (95% CI 0.634-0.923), respectively. The preoperative APCT-based clinical-radiomics nomogram showed good performance in predicting omental metastases status in LAGC, which may contribute to clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements occur in ∼3%-6% of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Small molecular drugs that effectively inhibit ALK gene have revolutionized the therapeutic paradigm for patients with ALK rearrangements, resulting in significant improvements in objective response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival compared with classical platinum-based chemotherapy. Several ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs), including crizotinib, alectinib, ceritinib, brigatinib, ensartinib, and lorlatinib, have been recommended as standard first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC patients with ALK rearrangements. Patients with ALK rearrangements typically exhibit long-term durable responses to ALK-TKIs; therefore, the management of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) with ALK-TKIs is crucial in clinical practice to maximize clinical benefits, prevent an adverse impact on quality of life, and improve patient compliance. In general, ALK-TKIs are well tolerated. There are, however, a number of serious toxicities that may necessitate dose modification or even discontinuation of treatment and the management of ADRs with ALK-TKIs has grown in importance. The therapeutic use of this class of medications still carries some risk because there are currently no pertinent guidelines or consensus recommendations for managing ADRs caused by ALK-TKIs in China. In order to improve the clinical management of ADRs with ALK-TKIs, the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Professional Committee led the discussion and summary of the incidence, diagnosis and grading standards, and prevention and treatment of ADRs caused by ALK-TKIs.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the utmost common chronic oral disease that exhibits intense susceptibility to aging. Aging is characterized by persistent sterile low-grade inflammation, leading to age-related periodontal complications represented by alveolar bone loss. Currently, forkhead transcription factor O1 (FoxO1) is generally believed to have a significant role in body development, senescence, cell viability, and oxidative stress in numerous organs and cells. However, the role of this transcription factor in mediating age-related alveolar bone resorption has not been examined. In this study, FoxO1 deficiency was discovered to have a beneficial correlation with halting the progression of alveolar bone resorption in aged mice. To further investigate the function of FoxO1 in age-related alveolar bone resorption, osteoblastic-specific FoxO1 knockout mice were generated, leading to an amelioration in alveolar bone loss compared to aged-matched wild-type mice, manifested as enhanced osteogenic potential. Mechanistically, we identified enhancement of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in FoxO1-deficient osteoblasts in the high dose of reactive oxygen species. Concordant with our study, MCC950, a specific inhibitor of NLRP3 inflammasome, greatly rescued osteoblast differentiation under oxidative stress. Our data shed light on the manifestations of FoxO1 depletion in osteoblasts and propose a possible mechanism for the therapy of age-related alveolar bone loss.

Abstract
Malayan pangolin SARS-CoV-2-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV-2) is closely related to SARS-CoV-2. However, little is known about its pathogenicity in pangolins. Using CT scans we show that SARSr-CoV-2 positive Malayan pangolins are characterized by bilateral ground-glass opacities in lungs in a similar manner to COVID-19 patients. Histological examination and blood gas tests are indicative of dyspnea. SARSr-CoV-2 infected multiple organs in pangolins, with the lungs the major target, and histological expression data revealed that ACE2 and TMPRSS2 were co-expressed with viral RNA. Transcriptome analysis indicated that virus-positive pangolins were likely to have inadequate interferon responses, with relative greater cytokine and chemokine activity in the lung and spleen. Notably, both viral RNA and viral proteins were detected in three pangolin fetuses, providing initial evidence for vertical virus transmission. In sum, our study outlines the biological framework of SARSr-CoV-2 in pangolins, revealing striking similarities to COVID-19 in humans.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of adenovirus infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: A total of 26 patients with adenovirus infection admitted to the posttransplant ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from 2018 to 2022 were enrolled. Their data on baseline and clinical characteristics, treatment, and follow-up were analyzed. Results: The median patient age was 30 (22, 44) years. Twenty-two patients received related haploid stem cell transplantation, three received unrelated stem cell transplantation, and one received umbilical cord stem cell transplantation. Antithymocyte globulin was included in the conditioning regimen in 25 patients. The median time of adenovirus infection was +95 (+44, +152) days. The median peripheral blood lymphocyte count was 0.30 (0.11, 0.69) × 10(9)/L. Twelve patients had acute graft-versus-host disease. Twenty-four patients received antirejection therapies at diagnosis. Sixteen cases had combined infection with other pathogens with adenovirus infection. Eight cases were diagnosed as asymptomatic infection, and 18 were diagnosed as adenovirus disease, including pneumonia (38.89% ) , gastrointestinal disease (38.89% ) , encephalitis (33.33% ) , hepatitis (5.56% ) , and urinary tract inflammation (5.56% ) . The age of >30 years was a risk factor for adenovirus disease (P=0.03) . Eighteen patients received tapering of immunosuppression, and all 26 patients received at least one antiviral drug. Other treatments included high-dose gamma globulin and donor lymphocyte infusion. Adenovirus infection improved in 10 cases and progressed in 16 cases. The median follow-up time was 30 (7, 237) days. Twenty-two patients died. The all-cause mortality rate was (88.5±7.1) % , and the attributable mortality rate was 45.5% . There was no significant difference in the 100 d survival rate between asymptomatic infected patients and patients diagnosed with adenovirus disease (37.5% vs 22.2% , HR=1.83, 95% CI 0.66-5.04, P=0.24) . Conclusion: The age of >30 years was a risk factor for adenovirus disease. Mortality was high in patients with adenovirus infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Quantum heat engines are expected to outperform the classical counterparts due to quantum coherences involved. Here we experimentally execute a single-ion quantum heat engine and demonstrate, for the first time, the dynamics and the enhanced performance of the heat engine originating from the Liouvillian exceptional points (LEPs). In addition to the topological effects related to LEPs, we focus on thermodynamic effects, which can be understood by the Landau-Zener-Stückelberg process under decoherence. We witness a positive net work from the quantum heat engine if the heat engine cycle dynamically encircles a LEP. Further investigation reveals that a larger net work is done when the system is operated closer to the LEP. We attribute the enhanced performance of the quantum heat engine to the Landau-Zener-Stückelberg process, enabled by the eigenenergy landscape in the vicinity of the LEP, and the exceptional point-induced topological transition. Therefore, our results open new possibilities toward LEP-enabled control of quantum heat engines and of thermodynamic processes in open quantum systems.

Abstract
Background Vaccination uptake amongst patients with IBD remains suboptimal. Studies evaluating effectiveness of interventions designed to improve vaccine uptake have not assessed perceived barriers and solutions related to implementation of evidence-based guidelines for vaccine preventable illness (VPI). Purpose The aim of this study was to identify barriers and facilitators for evidence-based management of VPI in IBD. Method A semi-structured interview was conducted with gastroenterologists. Interview questions were developed and guided by the COM-B and TDF evidence-based implementation science frameworks. A brief intake questionnaire was administered to collect participant demographic and clinical practice information. Gastroenterologists were recruited through direct local contact via email by the investigators. Sixty minute interviews were recorded and transcribed for data analysis. Using thematic analysis, codes from the study data will be generated to identify themes. The data will be categorized into the coding scheme and themes created using an inductive coding approach. Result(s) As of October 2022, 5 interviews were conducted. Mean participant age was 47.8 years, with 60% identifying practice in an urban/academic setting compared to a rural/community setting (20%). Preliminary major themes included 1) assessing vaccination status and recommending appropriate vaccines are the responsibility of the gastroenterologist 2) gastroenterologists need more support to administer vaccines in clinical practice 3) barriers to implementation of VPI guidelines include lack of access to a family physician, limited time, vaccine hesitancy, and incomplete understanding of coverage/access to vaccines and 4) intervention themes include use of clinical decision support tools embedded into the workflow of healthcare providers, need for support from allied healthcare providers, increased need for third party support, and more education/CME relating to management of VPI in clinical practice. Specific knowledge gaps include 1) uncertainty relating to what vaccines are covered financially 2) lack of knowledge of risk factors for specific VPI such as pneumococcus and meningococcus and 3) how to administer live vaccines in patients already on immunosuppressants. Conclusion(s) Preliminary qualitative themes suggest that although gastroenterologists acknowledge the importance of managing VPI in patients with IBD, perceived resource, policy, and educational barriers exist. The qualitative data from this study will be used to design and implement customized, evidence-based implementation strategies for managing VPI that are sensitive to the local environment.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of endometriosis (EM) on reproductive outcomes of young patient with EM after laparoscopic treatment in the first in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycle. Methods: The clinical data and reproductive outcomes of 394 infertile patients with EM after laparoscopic treatment (EM group) and 3 242 infertile patients caused by gamete transport disorder (control group) in the first IVF-ET cycle were collected in Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children from January 2016 to June 2021. The information included baseline characteristics, oocyte retrieval, embryo development, clinical pregnancy, miscarriage, and live birth. Propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to perform 1∶2 matching between EM group and control group. The impact of EM on reproductive outcomes was analyzed in the retrospective observational study. Results: In the initial data, compared with control group, the number of two pronucleus (2PN) zygotes (9.7±4.8 vs 9.0±4.4), the number of transferable embryos (6.2±3.6 vs 5.5±3.4) and the rate of transferable embryos (64.0% vs 60.8%) on the third day were significantly lower in EM group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). After PSM was performed, there were 394 and 787 cases in EM group and control group, respectively. Compared with control group, the number of 2PN zygotes (9.7±4.9 vs 9.0±4.4), the 2PN fertility rate (77.1% vs 75.3%), the number of transferable embryos on the third day (6.2±3.6 vs 5.5±3.4), the transferable embryos rate on the third day (63.8% vs 60.8%) were significantly lower in EM group, and the differences were statically significant (all P<0.05). The study did not find the effect of EM on embryo implantation rate, pregnancy rate, early miscarriage rate, live birth rate and preterm birth rate (all P>0.05). Conclusions: EM might interfere with the development of oocytes and embryos. Obtaining top-quality embryos may be an effective way to improve the prognosis of patients with EM after laparoscopic treatment.

Abstract
We retrospectively included 53 (9 males, 44 females) patients who underwent rest urethral pressure profilometry (RUPP) due to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from May 2021 to March 2022. The age of patients was (55±16) (25-76) years old. The clinical diagnoses of the included patients with lower urinary tract symptoms were classified as: benign prostatic hyperplasia in 9 cases, interstitial cystitis in 1 case, stress urinary incontinence in 11 cases and non-obstructive dysuria in 32 cases. The full set of urodynamic examination was composed of bladder pressure measurement during the filling period, pressure flow study (PFS) and RUPP. All the urodynamic examination was performed by air-charged catheter (ACC) and corresponding equipment. All patients underwent RUPP measurements twice. The vesical pressure (Pves) values were (35.30±6.15), (35.81±5.91) cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa); the Pura@max were (141.91±36.53), (145.02±38.85) cmH2O; functional urethral length were (41.70±16.34), (42.55±16.40) mm; the maximum urethral closure pressure for the two RUPP measurements were (106.57±36.44), (109.41±39.27) cmH2O. There was no statistical difference between the two RUPP measurements (P>0.05). The reproducibility of the RUPP measurements obtained by ACC is good and deserves further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the benefits and harmful effects of conservative versus liberal oxygen therapy in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out. SETTING ICU. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients (aged 18 years or older) were randomized to either a lower oxygenation target strategy (conservative oxygen therapy) or a higher oxygenation target strategy (liberal oxygen therapy) in the ICU. INTERVENTIONS Patients received different oxygenation target strategies. RESULTS Ten studies involving 5429 adult patients admitted to the ICU were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed no decreased all-cause mortality at 28 days (RR 0.90; 95%CI 0.75-1.09; p = 0.28), 90 days (RR 1.02; 95%CI 0.92-1.13; p = 0.71) or longest follow-up (RR 0.97; 95%CI 0.88-1.08; p = 0.63) among patients administered conservative oxygen therapy. Secondary outcomes were comparable between the two groups. The results of sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses were consistent with the main analyses. CONCLUSION No beneficial or harmful effects of conservative oxygen therapy were found compared to liberal oxygen therapy in relation to all-cause mortality among adult patients in the ICU. Conservative oxygen therapy did not reduce all-cause mortality at 28 days, 90 days or longest follow-up. Other important clinical outcomes were also comparable between the two groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical significance of deep learning-derived brain age prediction in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) relative to relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). METHODS This cohort study used data retrospectively collected from 6 tertiary neurological centres in China between 2009 and 2018. In total, 199 patients with NMOSD and 200 patients with RRMS were studied alongside 269 healthy controls. Clinical follow-up was available in 85 patients with NMOSD and 124 patients with RRMS (mean duration NMOSD=5.8±1.9 (1.9-9.9) years, RRMS=5.2±1.7 (1.5-9.2) years). Deep learning was used to learn 'brain age' from MRI scans in the healthy controls and estimate the brain age gap (BAG) in patients. RESULTS A significantly higher BAG was found in the NMOSD (5.4±8.2 years) and RRMS (13.0±14.7 years) groups compared with healthy controls. A higher baseline disability score and advanced brain volume loss were associated with increased BAG in both patient groups. A longer disease duration was associated with increased BAG in RRMS. BAG significantly predicted Expanded Disability Status Scale worsening in patients with NMOSD and RRMS. CONCLUSIONS There is a clear BAG in NMOSD, although smaller than in RRMS. The BAG is a clinically relevant MRI marker in NMOSD and RRMS.

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) quantification by estimating energy expenditure (EE) is essential to health. Reference methods for EE estimation often involve expensive and cumbersome systems to wear. To address these problems, light-weighted and cost-effective portable devices are developed. Respiratory magnetometer plethysmography (RMP) is among such devices, based on the measurements of thoraco-abdominal distances. The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative study on EE estimation with low to high PA intensity with portable devices including the RMP. Fifteen healthy subjects aged 23.84±4.36 years were equipped with an accelerometer, a heart rate (HR) monitor, a RMP device and a gas exchange system, while performing 9 sedentary and physical activities: sitting, standing, lying, walking at 4 and 6 km/h, running at 9 and 12 km/h, biking at 90 and 110 W. An artificial neural network (ANN) as well as a support vector regression algorithm were developed using features derived from each sensor separately and jointly. We compared also three validation approaches for the ANN model: leave one out subject, 10 fold cross-validation, and subject-specific. Results showed that 1. for portable devices the RMP provided better EE estimation compared to accelerometer and HR monitor alone; 2. combining the RMP and HR data further improved the EE estimation performances; and 3. the RMP device was also reliable in EE estimation for various PA intensities.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) managed in primary health care in China. Methods: A total of 2 528 T2DM patients were selected using a two-stage cluster random sampling method based on the baseline survey of the "China Diabetic Foot Prevention Model Project." The study was conducted in 2015 among T2DM patients in 8 primary healthcare centers in Changshu county and Jiang'an district of Wuhan, China. Data collection methods included a questionnaire, body measurement, and blood glucose detection. The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is the most widely used noninvasive vascular test. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence factors. Results: The prevalence of PAD was 11.2% among the diabetic patients managed in primary health care in the two cities. The prevalence of PAD under 55 years old, 55- years old, 65- years old, and ≥75 years old were 7.8%, 6.0%, 12.9% and 22.5%, respectively. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression identified influence factors included older age, higher education level, smoking, drinking, postprandial glucose uncontrol, and prior myocardial infarction or angina. Compared to age <55 years, the odds ratio for PAD were 0.74 for 55- years (95%CI: 0.43-1.28), 1.72 for 65- years (95%CI: 1.05-2.81), 3.56 for 75 years and above (95%CI: 2.07-6.11), respectively. Compared to patients with education in primary school and below, the odds ratio was 1.37 (95%CI: 0.97-1.94), 2.48 (95%CI: 1.73-3.55), 1.99 (95%CI: 1.26-3.13) for those with education levels of junior high school, senior high school, and college, respectively. Current smoking (OR=1.49, 95%CI: 1.02-2.17), current drinking (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.28-0.71), postprandial glucose uncontrol (2 h postprandial plasma glucose >10.0 mmol/L: OR=1.72, 95%CI: 1.22-2.43), and prior myocardial infarction or angina (OR=2.32, 95%CI: 1.50-3.61) were influencing factors of PAD. Conclusions: Despite the high prevalence of PAD in diabetes managed in primary health care; multiple risk factors are not effectively aware of and under control. It is urgent to promote ABI screening and standardized management for diabetes, especially in primary health care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early gastric cancer (EGC) is defined as a lesion restricted to the mucosa or submucosa, independent of size or evidence of regional lymph node metastases. Although computed tomography (CT) is the main technique for determining the stage of gastric cancer (GC), the accuracy of CT for determining tumor invasion of EGC was still unsatisfactory by radiologists. In this research, we attempted to construct an AI model to discriminate EGC in portal venous phase CT images. METHODS We retrospectively collected 658 GC patients from the first affiliated hospital of Nanchang university, and divided them into training and internal validation cohorts with a ratio of 8:2. As the external validation cohort, 93 GC patients were recruited from the second affiliated hospital of Soochow university. We developed several prediction models based on various convolutional neural networks, and compared their predictive performance. RESULTS The deep learning model based on the ResNet101 neural network represented sufficient discrimination of EGC. In two validation cohorts, the areas under the curves (AUCs) for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were 0.993 (95% CI: 0.984-1.000) and 0.968 (95% CI: 0.935-1.000), respectively, and the accuracy was 0.946 and 0.914. Additionally, the deep learning model can also differentiate between mucosa and submucosa tumors of EGC. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that deep learning classifiers have the potential to be used as a screening tool for EGC, which is crucial in the individualized treatment of EGC patients.

Abstract
Background This study aims to develop and validate a predictive model combining deep transfer learning, radiomics, and clinical features for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in early gastric cancer (EGC). Materials and methods This study retrospectively collected 555 patients with EGC, and randomly divided them into two cohorts with a ratio of 7:3 (training cohort, n = 388; internal validation cohort, n = 167). A total of 79 patients with EGC collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were used as external validation cohort. Pre-trained deep learning networks were used to extract deep transfer learning (DTL) features, and radiomics features were extracted based on hand-crafted features. We employed the Spearman rank correlation test and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression for feature selection from the combined features of clinical, radiomics, and DTL features, and then, machine learning classification models including support vector machine, K-nearest neighbor, random decision forests (RF), and XGBoost were trained, and their performance by determining the area under the curve (AUC) were compared. Results We constructed eight pre-trained transfer learning networks and extracted DTL features, respectively. The results showed that 1,048 DTL features extracted based on the pre-trained Resnet152 network combined in the predictive model had the best performance in discriminating the LNM status of EGC, with an AUC of 0.901 (95% CI: 0.847–0.956) and 0.915 (95% CI: 0.850–0.981) in the internal validation and external validation cohorts, respectively. Conclusion We first utilized comprehensive multidimensional data based on deep transfer learning, radiomics, and clinical features with a good predictive ability for discriminating the LNM status in EGC, which could provide favorable information when choosing therapy options for individuals with EGC.

Abstract
BackgroundDNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency has attracted considerable attention as a predictor of the immunotherapy efficacy of solid tumors, including gastric cancer. We aimed to develop and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomic nomogram for the preoperative prediction of MMR deficiency in gastric cancer (GC).MethodsIn this retrospective analysis, 225 and 91 GC patients from two distinct hospital cohorts were included. Cohort 1 was randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 176) and an internal validation cohort (n = 76), whereas cohort 2 was considered an external validation cohort. Based on repeatable radiomic features, a radiomic signature was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. We employed multivariable logistic regression analysis to build a radiomics-based model based on radiomic features and preoperative clinical characteristics. Furthermore, this prediction model was presented as a radiomic nomogram, which was evaluated in the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts.ResultsThe radiomic signature composed of 15 robust features showed a significant association with MMR protein status in the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts (both P-values <0.001). A radiomic nomogram incorporating a radiomic signature and two clinical characteristics (age and CT-reported N stage) represented good discrimination in the training cohort with an AUC of 0.902 (95% CI: 0.853–0.951), in the internal validation cohort with an AUC of 0.972 (95% CI: 0.945–1.000) and in the external validation cohort with an AUC of 0.891 (95% CI: 0.825–0.958).ConclusionThe CT-based radiomic nomogram showed good performance for preoperative prediction of MMR protein status in GC. Furthermore, this model was a noninvasive tool to predict MMR protein status and guide neoadjuvant therapy.
