Abstract
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune eye disease that affects visual function and appearance, involving pathological remodeling processes of orbital tissue such as inflammatory reaction, oxidative stress, lipogenesis, and fibrosis. Current clinical first-line treatment options cannot be effective for all patients. This article summarizes the research on potential therapeutic targets of TAO at home and abroad in recent years, including receptor protein targets, immune cell targets, fat suppression targets, anti-fibrosis targets, transcription factor targets, and metabolic regulatory enzyme targets. Both non-natural compounds and natural compounds are introduced, with a view to providing clinical researchers with reference and ideas in the treatment of TAO and promoting the clinical application of new therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are mediators of intestinal immunity and barrier function. Recent studies have investigated the role of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTOR) in ILC3s, whereas the mTORC1-related mechanisms and crosstalk between mTORC1 and mTORC2 involved in regulating ILC3 homeostasis remain unknown. In this study, we found that mTORC1 but not mTORC2 was critical in ILC3 development, IL-22 production, and ILC3-mediated intestinal homeostasis. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that mTORC1 deficiency led to disruption of ILC3 heterogeneity, showing an increase in differentiation into ILC1-like phenotypes. Mechanistically, mTORC1 deficiency decreased the expression of NFIL3, which is a critical transcription factor responsible for ILC3 development. The activities of both mTORC1 and mTORC2 were increased in wild-type ILC3s after activation by IL-23, whereas inhibition of mTORC1 by Raptor deletion or rapamycin treatment resulted in increased mTORC2 activity. Previous studies have demonstrated that S6K, the main downstream target of mTORC1, can directly phosphorylate Rictor to dampen mTORC2 activity. Our data found that inhibition of mTORC1 activity by rapamycin reduced Rictor phosphorylation in ILC3s. Reversing the increased mTORC2 activity via heterozygous or homozygous knockout of Rictor in Raptor-deleted ILC3s resulted in severe ILC3 loss and complete susceptibility to intestinal infection in mice with mTORC1 deficiency (100% mortality). Thus, mTORC1 acts as a rheostat of ILC3 heterogeneity, and mTORC2 protects ILC3s from severe loss of cells and immune activity against intestinal infection when mTORC1 activity is diminished.

Abstract
The prevalence of dry eye in children is increasing with changes in the environment and the widespread use of electronic products. However, due to poor ability to express themselves and hidden symptoms of children, lack of understanding of dry eye in children, children with dry eye are likely to be misdiagnosed. Dry eye can seriously affect the quality of children's learning, life, vision and visual development. Therefore, it is urgent to raise awareness of clinical workers about dry eye in children, prevent the occurrence of related complications of dry eye, and avoid permanent visual damage to children. This review discusses and summarizes the epidemiology and common risk factors of children with dry eye, with the aim of improving doctors' understanding of dry eye in children.

Abstract
The main component of the gas in the fish storage tank is hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning is a common occupational chemical poisoning among fishermen in summer, and acute hydrogen sulfide poisoning can manifest as toxic encephalopathy. This paper analyzes a patient with delayed encephalopathy suspected of acute hydrogen sulfide poisoning. The patient was unconscious for 18 days after waking up for 5 days after acute hydrogen sulfide poisoning. After waking up again, there were symptoms such as decreased limb muscle strength, ataxia, swallowing, dysarthria, and the clinical characteristics were significantly different from those of delayed encephalopathy caused by acute carbon monoxide poisoning, such as decreased cognitive function and damage to extrapyramidal system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic lumbar drainage (LD) compared to therapeutic lumbar puncture (LP) for the management of intracranial hypertension (ICH) among HIV-positive patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM). METHODS The study was a multicenter prospective non-randomized interventional clinical trial. One hundred and sixteen HIV-associated CM patients were identified who presented with ICH (≥250 mmH2O). The LP group comprised 76 cases, while the LD group consisted of 40 cases. We compared mortality, intracranial pressure (ICP) normalization rate, and clinical symptom remission at 10 weeks, between the two groups. RESULTS The cumulative mortality at week 10 was 22.4% in the LP group and 20% in the LD group (p = .927), without any significant difference in mortality between the two groups. Improvement after treatment at 2-weeks, ICP normalization, and headache reversal event occurrence in the two groups showed no significant difference (p > .05). The incidence of CSF Cryptococcus clearance at two weeks in the LD group was significantly higher than in the LP group (p < .05). The frequency of invasive lumbar therapeutic procedures in the LP group during the first week was higher than that of the LD group (p < .05). Localized infection at the puncture site occurred more frequently in the LD group than in the LP group (p < .05). CONCLUSION For HIV-positive CM patients with an elevated ICP, LD and LP are comparably effective and safe options to normalize ICP. LP increases the frequency of invasive lumbar therapeutic procedures but does not incur more risk of infection events at the puncture site, while LD may accelerate CSF Cryptococcus clearance but may induce more frequent localized infection. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered as one of 12 trials under a general project at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR1900021195).

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) bacteremia has also increased. As a common affliction of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients, M. tuberculosis infection is associated in these patients with severe sepsis and high mortality. In contrast, M. tuberculosis bacteremia is rarely seen in HIV-negative patients, and M. tuberculosis has never been reported from the blood of patients with liver cirrhosis.
CASE SUMMARY We evaluated a 55-year-old Chinese male patient who had been admitted to the hospital with abdominal distension of unknown cause of one-week duration, accompanied by diarrhea, shortness of breath, and occasional fever. Based on these indicators of abnormal inflammation and fever, we suspected the presence of an infection. Although evidence of microbial infection was not found in routine clinical tests and the patient did not show typical clinical symptoms of infection with M. tuberculosis, next-generation sequencing of blood samples nevertheless demonstrated the presence of M. tuberculosis, which was subsequently isolated from blood samples grown in conventional BacT/ALERT FA blood culture bottles.
CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that HIV-negative liver cirrhosis patients can also be infected with M. tuberculosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the method and clinical effect of modified Chevron osteotomy of the distal end of the first metatarsal in the treatment of moderate and severe hallux valgus. METHODS From January 2015 to January 2019, 28 patients(30 feet) with moderate and severe hallux valgus were treated with modified Chevron osteotomy combined with lateral soft tissue release of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, including 2 males (2 feet) and 26 females (28 feet). The age ranged from 35 to 74 (57.3±9.3) years;10 feet on the left, 16 feet on the right, 2 cases on both sides(4 feet);the course of disease was 3 to 12 (9.32±3.89) years. The changes of hallux valgus angle(HVA), intermetatarsal angle(IMA) between the first and second metatarsals and distal metatarsal articular angle(DMAA) of the first metatarsal were measured and compared before and 6 months after operation. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS) thumb joint scoring system was used to evaluate the curative effect. RESULTS All 28 patients were followed up for 8 to 16 (11.28±3.42) months. The incision healed well in all patients, and there were no complications such as incision infection and metatarsal head necrosis. The healing time of osteotomy site was 6 to 10(7.12±1.34) weeks. Preoperative HVA, IMA, DMAA and AOFAS were (36.06±6.02) °, (21.78±4.16) °, (8.21±2.65) ° and (52.90±10.97) respectively, at six months after operation, they were (8.87±2.46) °, (11.66±2.84) °, (3.65±1.00) ° and (87.45±10.55) respectively, there was significant difference between preoperative and 6 months after operation(P<0.05). At 6 months after operation, AOFAS score was excellent in 20 feet, good in 7 feet and poor in 3 feet. Among the 3 patients with poor scores, 2 were excellent after revision, and 1 was significantly improved after using custom insoles. CONCLUSION Modified Chevron can effectively correct HVA, IMA and DMAA and improve functional recovery. The modified Chevron osteotomy increases the moving distance and the contact of the osteotomy surface. It can be fixed with multiple screws, has strong correction ability, and can exercise early. It is one of the optional methods for the treatment of moderate and severe hallux valgus.

Abstract
Background: The optimal timing for initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in HIV-positive patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM) has not, as yet, been compellingly elucidated, as research data concerning mortality risk and the occurrence of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in this population remains inconsistent and controversial. Method: The present multicenter randomized clinical trial was conducted in China in patients who presented with confirmed HIV/CM, and who were ART-naïve. Subjects were randomized and stratified into either an early-ART group (ART initiated 2-5 weeks after initiation of antifungal therapy), or a deferred-ART group (ART initiated 5 weeks after initiation of antifungal therapy). Intention-to-treat, and per-protocol analyses of data for these groups were conducted for this study. Result: The probability of survival was found to not be statistically different between patients who started ART between 2-5 weeks of CM therapy initiation (14/47, 29.8%) vs. those initiating ART until 5 weeks after CM therapy initiation (10/55, 18.2%) (p = 0.144). However, initiating ART within 4 weeks after the diagnosis and antifungal treatment of CM resulted in a higher mortality compared with deferring ART initiation until 6 weeks (p = 0.042). The incidence of IRIS did not differ significantly between the early-ART group and the deferred-ART group (6.4 and 7.3%, respectively; p = 0.872). The percentage of patients with severe (grade 3 or 4) adverse events was high in both treatment arms (55.3% in the early-ART group and 41.8% in the deferred-ART group; p=0.183), and there were significantly more grade 4 adverse events in the early-ART group (20 vs. 13; p = 0.042). Conclusion: Although ART initiation from 2 to 5 weeks after initiation of antifungal therapy was not significantly associated with high cumulative mortality or IRIS event rates in HIV/CM patients compared with ART initiation 5 weeks after initiation of antifungal therapy, we found that initiating ART within 4 weeks after CM antifungal treatment resulted in a higher mortality compared with deferring ART initiation until 6 weeks. In addition, we observed that there were significantly more grade 4 adverse events in the early-ART group. Our results support the deferred initiation of ART in HIV-associated CM.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility of navigation-guided nasal endoscopy for removal of the cavernous hemangioma of the orbital apex through the sphenoid approach. Methods: Retrospective case series study. From May 2012 to December 2019, 12 patients (12 eyes) with imaging findings of cavernous hemangioma in the orbital apex were collected at the Eye Hospital Affiliated to Nanchang University, including 3 males and 9 females aged 32 to 59 years. All patients underwent navigation-guided sinusoscopy through the sphenoid approach to remove the cavernous hemangioma of the orbital apex (video attached). Changes of visual function and complications after operation were analyzed. Results: In 3 patients without visual impairment, the postoperative visual function was still normal. Among the remaining 9 patients with preoperative visual impairment, visual function was fully recovered in 3 patients after operation, was improved in 2 patients, and had no change in 4 patients. There were no complications in 3 of the 12 patients, and 9 patients had transient, mildly limited intraocular rotation with diplopia after operation, which all returned to normal within 1 month. Conclusion: Navigation-guided sinus endoscopy through the sphenoid approach is effective and feasible in the removal of the cavernous hemangioma of the orbital apex.

Abstract
Chemokine CXC ligand 12 (CXCL12)-chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) signal axis is involved in the regulation of liver injury repair and the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis. In case of acute and chronic liver injury, the expression of CXCL12 is up-regulated to collect CXCR4-positive immune cells to migrate to the liver. The CXCL12-CXCR4 pathway participates in the occurrence of liver fibrosis by promoting the activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells. The emergence of small molecule inhibitors of CXCR4 makes this receptor an attractive target for anti-fibrosis therapy. At present, CXCR4 has been tried as an anti-fibrosis treatment targets for fibrosis of various organs, including pulmonary fibrosis and chronic pancreatitis. However, some studies have shown that simply blocking the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis cannot improve liver fibrosis and even aggravate liver injury. In recent years, with the discovery and understanding of CXCR7, another receptor of CXCR12, the counteracting role of CXCR4-promoting fibrosis pathway and CXCR7-promoting regeneration pathway in liver regeneration and liver fibrosis has been interpreted. Therefore, a full understanding of the regulatory mechanism of CXCL12-CXCR4/CXCR7 pathway, the development of corresponding targeted therapy research for liver disease, and the rebalancing of CXCR4 and CXCR7 are expected to become a new strategy for the liver fibrosis therapy.

Abstract
Herein, we have proposed a colorimetric biosensor for detection of acid phosphatase based on human serum albumin (HSA) templated MnO2 nanosheets (HSA-MnO2 NSs). HSA-MnO2 NSs as an efficient biomimetic oxidase could catalyze the oxidization of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to the coloured oxidation product (oxTMB). Acid phosphatase (ACP) could hydrolyze l-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (AAP) to produce ascorbic acid, and ascorbic acid could lead to the decomposition of MnO2 NSs to Mn2+ ions, inhibiting the production of oxTMB. On the basis of this, we have demonstrated a novel colorimetric approach for the detection of acid phosphatase with the linear range from 50 μU mL-1 to 1500 μU mL-1 and a detection limit of 40 μU mL-1. The MnO2 NS-based colorimetric method has been successfully used to determine the content of acid phosphatase in real samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CYP2C19 gene mutations on clopidogrel antiplatelet activity in the patients with coronary heart disease treated by percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: Patients with coronary heart disease, who hospitalized in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from March 2011 to June 2019, and healthy individuals with matching genetic background, gender, and age as controls were included in this study. Basic clinical data were analyzed and blood samples of all research subjects were obtained for extraction of DNA, and Sanger first-generation sequencing method was used to detect CYP2C19 gene mutation from full exon and exon and intron junction. CYP2C19 gene variations in patients with coronary heart disease were compared with the 1000 Genomes Browse database and the sequencing results of healthy controls to determine whether the gene variation was a genetic mutation or a genetic polymorphism. After that, PolyPhen-2 prediction software was used to analyze the harmfulness of gene mutations to predict the effect of mutations on protein function. The same dose of CYP2C19 wild-type plasmid and the CYP2C19 gene mutant plasmids were transfected into human normal liver cells HL-7702. After transfection of 24 h, the expression of CYP2C19 protease in each group was detected. The liver S9 protein was incubated with clopidogrel, acted on platelets to detect the platelet aggregation rate and the activity of human vasodilator-activated phosphoprotein (VASP). Results: A total of 1 493 patients with coronary heart disease (59.36%) were enrolled, the average age was (64.5±10.4) years old, of which 1 129 were male (75.62%). Meanwhile, 1 022 healthy physical examination volunteers (40.64%) were enrolled, and the average age was (64.1±11.0) years old, of which 778 were male (76.13%). A total of 5 gene mutations of CYP2C19 gene were identified in 12 patients (0.80%), namely, 4 known mutations T130K (1 case), M136K (6 cases), N277K (3 cases), V472I (1 case) and one new mutation G27V (1 case), no corresponding gene mutation was found in healthy controls. It was found that T130K and M136K were probably damaging, G27V was possibly damaging, and N277K and V472I were benign mutations. In vitro, we demonstrated that the platelet aggregation rate of the M136K gene mutation group was 24.83% lower than that of the wild type (59.58% vs. 34.75%; P<0.05), and the phosphorylated VASP level was 23.0% higher than that of the wild type (1.0 vs. 1.23; P<0.05). However, the platelet aggregation rate and phosphorylated VASP level were similar between of G27V, T130K, N277K, V472I gene mutation groups and wild type group (P>0.05). Conclusions: In this study, 5 gene mutations are defined in patients with coronary heart disease, namely G27V, T130K, M136K, N277K, V472I. In vitro functional studies show that CYP2C19 gene mutation M136K, as a gain-of-function gene mutation, can enhance the activation of CYP2C19 enzyme on clopidogrel, thereby inhibiting the platelet aggregation rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Albuvirtide is a once-weekly injectable human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 fusion inhibitor. We present interim data for a phase 3 trial assessing the safety and efficacy of albuvirtide plus lopinavir-ritonavir in HIV-1-infected adults already treated with antiretroviral drugs. METHODS We carried out a 48-week, randomized, controlled, open-label non-inferiority trial at 12 sites in China. Adults on the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended first-line treatment for >6 months with a plasma viral load >1000 copies/mL were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive albuvirtide (once weekly) plus ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (ABT group) or the WHO-recommended second-line treatment (NRTI group). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with a plasma viral load below 50 copies/mL at 48 weeks. Non-inferiority was prespecified with a margin of 12%. RESULTS At the time of analysis, week 24 data were available for 83 and 92 patients, and week 48 data were available for 46 and 50 patients in the albuvirtide and NRTI groups, respectively. At 48 weeks, 80.4% of patients in the ABT group and 66.0% of those in the NRTI group had HIV-1 RNA levels below 50 copies/mL, meeting the criteria for non-inferiority. For the per-protocol population, the superiority of albuvirtide over NRTI was demonstrated. The frequency of grade 3 to 4 adverse events was similar in the two groups; the most common adverse events were diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and grade 3 to 4 increases in triglyceride concentration. Renal function was significantly more impaired at 12 weeks in the patients of the NRTI group who received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate than in those of the ABT group. CONCLUSIONS The TALENT study is the first phase 3 trial of an injectable long-acting HIV drug. This interim analysis indicates that once-weekly albuvirtide in combination with ritonavir-boosted lopinavir is well tolerated and non-inferior to the WHO-recommended second-line regimen in patients with first-line treatment failure.

Abstract
Nifekalant has been used in the treatment of atrial arrhythmia recently. However, there is no consensus on the preferable nifekalant dose to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to explore efficacy and safety of different doses of nifekalant in the cardioversion of persistent AF. The study was a single-centre, randomized controlled trial. All subjects received nifekalant or placebo intravenously, and the nifekalant was given at the dosage of 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5 mg/kg. Primary efficacy end-point: compared with 0.3 mg group, the rate of cardioversion to sinus rhythm from AF in 0.4 and 0.5 mg group was higher. The 0.4 and 0.5 mg/kg doses were associated with a similar magnitude of efficacy (P > .05). Secondary efficacy end-point: termination rates of AF in the group of 0.4 mg and 0.5 mg were higher than 0.3 mg. Primary safety end-point: the rate of Torsades de Pointes or ventricular fibrillation was numerically lower in the 0.4 mg group than 0.5 mg group (P = .02). Secondary safety end-point: The rates of the majority of other common drug-related adverse events in the group of 0.5 and 0.4 mg were higher than the 0.3 mg group. A 0.4 mg/kg dose of intravenous nifekalant may be recommended during the radiofrequency ablation for persistent AF considering the benefit-risk profile.

Abstract
Pancreatitis is a disease for which there are numerous etiologies but no effective treatments. Although the expression of the pancreatitis-associated protein-1 (PAP-1) serves as a marker for the disease, its biological function is unknown. The present study was carried out to determine if PAP-1 performs a protective role against oxidative stress-induced pancreatic cell death. For this purpose, we used cerulein-stimulated pancreatic acinar AR42J cells as an experimental model of acute pancreatitis. First, we demonstrated that PAP-1 gene expression is increased by cerulein in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In parallel, the level of active nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) was found to be increased in cells treated with cerulein. To test whether activation of the oxidant-sensitive transcription factor NF-κB is mediated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, the primary source of reactive oxygen species, cerulein-stimulated NADPH oxidase activity was suppressed by using the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium and, separately, by anti-sense oligonucleotides directed against NADPH oxidase subunits p22phox and p47phox. We observed that a decrease in NADPH oxidase activity resulted in decreased NF-κB activation and decreased PAP-1 gene expression. To determine whether the cerulein-induced NF-κB activation involves PAP-1 expression, cells were transfected to overexpress the MAD3 double-point IκBα mutant. In response, NF-κB activation and PAP-1 gene expression were decreased. Lastly, we observed that the cerulein-induced reduction in cell viability and increase in apoptosis are reversed by overexpression of PAP-1 in PAP-1-transfected cells. Taken together, these results support the postulate that PAP-1 inhibits cerulein-induced apoptosis in response to NADPH oxidase-mediated NF-κB activation in pancreatic acinar cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a type of chronic pancreatitis occurring in an anatomic area between the duodenum, head of the pancreas, and common bile duct. Duodenal obstruction is always caused by malignant pancreatic diseases, such as pancreatic head carcinoma, while is rarely induced by benign pancreatic diseases, such as pancreatitis.
CASE SUMMARY A 39-year-old man presented with a 1-mo history of upper abdominal discomfort. His concomitant symptoms were abdominal distension, postprandial nausea, and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen showed thickening of the intestinal wall with enhancement of the descending segment of the duodenum, which could not be clearly differentiated from the head of the pancreas. Upper gastrointestinal radiographs and gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a complete obstruction of the descending duodenum. An operation found that a 3-cm mass was located in the “groove part” of the pancreas and oppressing the descending duodenum. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed to relieve the obstruction and thoroughly remove the pancreatic lesions. The pathologic diagnosis was pancreatitis. The patient had an uneventful recovery with no complications.
CONCLUSION Because of the special location and the contracture induced by long-term chronic inflammation, our case reminds surgeons that some benign pancreatic diseases, such as GP, can also present with symptoms similar to those of pancreatic cancer. This knowledge can help to avoid an unnecessary radical operation.

Abstract
Orbital blowout fractures can easily lead to defects of the orbital wall. In order to restore the continuity of the bone wall and avoid a series of clinical symptoms caused by orbital contents herniation or incarceration, the site of the defect should be reconstructed. The effect of reconstruction depends on the choice of surgical plan and repair material. The typical materials for bone wall defect repair include bone sheet, high density porous polyethylene, titanium mesh, absorbable polymer, bioactive ceramics and tissue engineering bone. This paper reviews the research findings and application of material for repairing of orbital blowout fracture. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2019, 55: 876-880).

Abstract
Abstract Objective To explore the distribution of genetic structure of Y-SNP and Y-STR genetic markers in different ethnic groups and its application in forensic science. Methods SNaPshot minisequencing was used to detect the polymorphisms of 12 Y-SNP loci in 439 males from 6 ethnic groups, including Guangxi Han, Guangxi Jing, Guangxi Miao, Guangxi Yao, Guangxi Zhuang and Guangxi Dong. DNATyperTM Y26 kit was used to multiplex-amplify 26 Y-STR loci. The PCR products were analyzed by 3130xl genetic analyzer. The network analysis of Y-STR haplotype under the same Y-SNP haplogroup was analyzed by Network 5.0 software. Results Six haplogroups defined by 12 Y-SNP loci were detected in 6 ethnic groups, and 362 haplotypes were detected in 26 Y-STR loci. The haplotype diversity was 0.996 6. In the C haplogroup, the samples from Guangxi Yao, Guangxi Zhuang and Guangxi Dong were clustered on different branches; in the O1 haplogroup, those from Guangxi Zhuang, Guangxi Miao and Guangxi Jing were relatively independent and clustered separately; in the O2 haplogroup, some samples from Guangxi Miao and Guangxi Yao were gathered in a cluster. Conclusion Based on the Y-STR network analysis of samples with identical haplogroup of Y-SNP, some ethnic groups can be preliminarily distinguished, which could be used to infer male suspects' ethnic group through detecting their genetic markers left in the crime scene.

Abstract
A laboratory scale laser induced thermal desorption spectroscopy system is developed and tested on tungsten-deuterium and titanium-deuterium codeposits, and its feasibility as a hydrogenic inventory measurement diagnostic is demonstrated over a range of retention values from 5 × 1019 m-2 to 7 × 1023 m-2 for absorbed laser power densities as low as 8 MW m-2. Codeposit layer samples are grown by magnetron sputtering and immersed in a weak argon rf plasma. A 1 kW fiber laser (λ = 1100 nm) heats the samples up to a peak surface temperature ranging from 900 to 1500 K using pulse widths of 0.5 and 1 s. Spectral line emission from Balmer series Dα and Hα from thermally desorbed deuterium and hydrogen, as well as line emission from argon, are monitored as a function of time using an optical spectrometer with maximum temporal resolution of 1 ms. To correct for wall recycling and pumping speed, and to accurately measure the time evolution of the laser-induced thermal desorption, the raw Dα signal is deconvolved with the system response function, which is obtained by injecting a short burst of D2 to approximate an impulse. Calibration is done with a standard D2 leak, and laser induced desorption spectroscopy deuterium retention values are found to be in good agreement with companion measurements made using conventional temperature programmed desorption on samples from the same codeposit batch.

Abstract
Objective: To establish automatic liver fibrosis classification models by using traditional machine learning and deep learning methods and preliminaryly evaluate the efficiency. Methods: Gray scale ultrasound images and corresponding elastic images of 354 patients, 247 males and 107 females, mean age (54±12) years undergoing partial hepatectomy in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from November 2014 to January 2016 were enrolled in this study. By using traditional machine learning and deep learning methods, an automatic classification model of liver fibrosis stages (S0 to S4) were established through feature extraction and classification of ultrasound image data sets and the accuracy in different classification categories of each model were calculated, by using liver biopsy as the reference standard. Results: Pathological examination showed 73 cases in pathological stage S0, 40 cases in S1, 49 cases in S2, 41 cases in S3, and 151 cases in S4. The traditional machine classification model based on support vector machine (SVM) classifier and sparse representation classifier and the deep learning classification model based on LeNet-5 neural network, their accuracy rates in the two categories (S0/S1/S2 and S3/S4) were 89.8%, 91.8% and 90.7% respectively; the accuracy rates in the three categories (S0/S1 and S2/S3 and S4) were 75.3%, 79.4% and 82.8% respectively; the accuracy in the three categories (S0 and S1/S2/S3 and S4) were 79.3%, 82.7% and 87.2% respectively. Conclusions: Computer-aided assessment of liver fibrosis progression in patients with chronic hepatitis B has a high accuracy, and can achieve a more detailed classification. This method is expected to be applied in the non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis B in clinical work in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrahepatic Biliary Cystadenoma (IBC) is rare but has a high incidence of misdiagnosis, especially for experienceless surgeons. CASE We report a case of IBC located in the caudate lobe and described a typical procedure of misdiagnosing this disease. Finally, the patient was successfully cured, but the procedure of misdiagnosis should attract attention. IBC and atypical biopsy for histological examination are the most important causes of misdiagnosis. Recurrent cystic lesions of the liver and repeated increases in CA 19-9 may suggest a "liver cyst", which is a misdiagnosis. CONCLUSION The experience and lessons of misdiagnosis, in this case, may help other clinicians diagnose the rare disease accurately.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: PIK3CA mutation is one of the most frequent genomic alterations in breast cancer. We evaluated PIK3CA mutational status including spatial and temporal heterogeneity, clinical characteristics and prognostic impact focused on ER+/HER2- subtype.
Methods: We performed targeted ultra-deep sequencing (CancerSCAN™) of breast cancer tissue in a prospective cohort. Burden of disease was assessed by metabolic tumor volume(MTV) in 18F-FDG-PET scan. Association with clinical characteristics or survival were tested in ER+/HER2- subtype, using Chi square test or Kaplan-Meier method.
Results: PIK3CA analyses were performed in 1274 breast cancer specimens from 1091 patients. 957 patients had early breast cancer. PIK3CA alterations were found in 397 patients(36.3%), and frequency of PIK3CA mutation was significantly lower in triple negative breast cancer(19.0%), compared with 40.4% in ER+/HER2-, 40.9% in ER+/HER2+, and 45.2% in ER-/HER2+ subtype(p<0.0001). 158 patients had more than two biopsies. Among 92 patients with second biopsy within one month, 11%(10/92) had spatial heterogeneity of PIK3CA mutation. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 10%(3/30) of patients had change of PIK3CA mutational status. Serial biopsy at time of recurrence revealed loss or gain of PIK3CA mutation in 10 out of 59 patients (17%). In ER+/HER2- subtype, PIK3CA had a trend toward longer distant disease free survival without statistical significance. In patients with stage IV ER+/HER2- disease, PIK3CA hotspot mutations were associated with significant longer overall survival(OS) (71.0 vs. 37.8 months, p=0.048) and better progression free survival(PFS) at 1st line palliative treatment (37.7 vs. 9.4 months, p = 0.0004). Frequency of symptomatic recurrence, recurrence as oligometastases, and specific metastatic sites were not associated with PIK3CA mutational status, except that bone metastases at first distant metastases was less prevalent in patients with PIK3CA hotspot mutations(35.6% vs. 53.8% in PIK3CA wt, p=0.048). Metabolic tumor volume(MTV) at time of first distant metastases was not associated with presence of PIK3CA mutation.
Conclusion: We observed variations in PIK3CA mutational status in more than 10% of patients with >1 repeated biopsy. In stage IV ER+/HER2- disease, PIK3CA hotspot mutation seemed to be associated with longer PFS and OS, however metabolic tumor burden was not associated with PIK3CA alterations.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Genetic alteration of Estrogen Receptor 1(ESR1) gene have been associated with acquired endocrine resistance and occurred in about 20% of endocrine resistant estrogen receptor(ER)-positive metastatic breast cancer(MBC). Mutations in ligand binding domain of ESR1 lead to constitutive activity of the ER without ligand estrogen and stimulated down stream cell growth signal. Therefore, ESR1 ligand binding domain alteration is known resistant mechanism of aromatase inhibitor. Among these ESR1 mutations, Y537S, one of the ligand binding domain mutations, caused ER antagonist, fulvestrant resistance. Therefore, assessment of ESR1 mutation in ER-positive MBC had significant benefit to further precision medicine for MBCs. In this study, we explored to identify the frequency and type of ESR1 genetic alterations of ER-positive MBC.
Methods: We performed targeted ultra-deep sequencing (CancerSCAN™) using BC tissue specimens. This sequencing was covered entire coding area of ESR1 gene and also detected copy number alteration and translocation of ESR1.
Results: Targeted ultra-deep sequencing of ESR1 was performed using 990 BC tissues. Of 990 tissue samples, 341(34.5%) were MBCs. Of MBCs, 112(11.3%) were ER-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative BCs. In ER-positive HER2-negative MBCs (N=112), 21 ESR1 genetic alterations were identified in 19 BCs (17.0%). Nineteen were single nucleotide variats (SNVs) and three were copy number (CN) amplification. Most commonly detected single nucleotide variant (SNV) was D538G (6 of 19, 31.6%) followed by Y537N, Y537S, V382I (4, 2 and 2 cases, respectively). Three mutations occurred in non-ligand binding domain (G415V, V392I and P79A). Two BC samples harbored two ESR1 mutations, respectively (Y537S and D538G, L536P and Y537N). In terms of treatment, 11 of 12 patients with ER-positive MBC harboring ESR1 mutation received palliative endocrine therapies. Eight patients received aromatase inhibitor and two patients received tamoxifen. One patient received letrozole plus palbociclib. In 2 MBCs with Y537S mutation, progression free survival (PFS) of endocrine therapy was 1.4 and 5.3 months. MBCs with D538G had 12.3months of PFS (range, 5.3-23.7(months)) and BCs harboring another ligand binding domain mutations (Y537N, L536H and L536P) had 15.7months of PFS of endocrine therapy (range, 8.4-17.3(months)). BC with mutation observed in non-lignand binding domain had short PFS (1.8 (V392I) and 2.7 (P79A) months, respectively). In terms of ESR1 CN amplification, patients could not receive endocrine therapy because their BCs rapidly progressed and extensive distant metastases were occurred within 3 months after curative surgery.
Conclusion: In this exploratory study, ESR1 genetic alterations were detected in about 20% of ER-positive MBC. The type of genetic alterations varied including SNVs, CNAs. Each locus of ESR1 mutation predicted endocrine resistance. In addition, we might suggest that ESR1 CN amplification is prognostic marker of ER-positive BCs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: To date, the role of immunotherapy with check point inhibitors and/or vaccines in the treatment of breast cancer (BC) is still debating, and the main focus of immunotherapy in BC is on triple negative subtype as a target population in many ongoing clinical trials. Translational research into identifying predictive and prognostic immune biomarkers is of particular clinical relevance, but, there are currently no definite prognostic and predictive immune biomarkers in BC, especially in triple negative breast cancer(TNBC). We investigated the expression profiles of immune genes in patients with TNBC to identify the prognostic value of immune genes in search of clinical implications.
Methods : We investigated expression profiles of 770 pan-cancer immune related genes using the nCounter mRNA expression assay (NanoString®) from paraffin-embedded tumor tissues in 200 patients diagnosed as TNBC who received curative surgery at Samsung Medical Center from 2000 to 2004. We analyzed the relationship between stage adjusted level of gene expressions and patients' survival outcomes using Cox regression model.
Results: Of 770 genes, 186 genes were selected from univariate analysis with clinical stage adjustment. In multivariate analysis using Cox regression, expressions of CD1B, CD45, CD53, CT45A1, GTF3C1, IL11RA, IL1RN, LRRN3, MAPK1, NEFL, PRKCE, SPACA3 and RANKL were associated with distant recurrence free survival (p<0.05, respectively). Among these 13 genes, expression of MAPK1, NEFL, CD45, SPACA3 and RANKL were correlated with favorable outcome in terms of distant recurrence free survival (p<0.05, respectively). In terms of overall survival, C3, IL1RL1, IL1RN, IL7 and PRKCE were associated with poor prognosis (p<0.05, respectively) and expression of SAA1 CXCL9 and RANKL resulted in favorable outcome (p<0.05, respectively).

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Tumor metastasis is a major clinical challenge accounting for the vast majority of cancer related deaths.In previous studies, prediction of distant metastasis was based on subtypes,clinical status and sometimes gene expression were used however clinical application was difficult.
In this study, we develop the easy to use prediction tool for distant metastasis using clinical characteristics and gene profiles which came from CancerSCANTM, Next Generation Sequencing based targeted-sequencing platform designed at Samsung Medical Center(SMC).
Methods
We performed a retrospective chart review of 326 breast cancer patients who underwent surgery and CancerSCAN TM between Jan 2001 and Dec 2014 at SMC. Median follow up period was 83 months (Range 1˜190). Cancer scanTM cover 381 genes but 27 genes and 34 occasions (loss of function, mutation or copy number variation) were selected for analysis through gradient boosting and Wilcoxon Signed rank test. Azure Machine Learning is a cloud service that enables the execution of machine learning processes.This was accomplished using the steps of (1) edit the data, (2) split the data, (3) train the model, (4) score the model, and (5) evaluate the model. We split the modeling data into training and testing sets using a randomized 50–50 split. Two-class Decision Forest method was used. After deploying the Azure ML predictive model as a web service, we used a Representational State Transfer application programming interface to send data and obtained predictions in real-time.
Results
No distant metastasis group and distant metastasis group consisted of 267 and 59 patients, respectively. HR-/HER2+ and 50 years old and over patients were higher in metastasis group (p-value = 0.003 and p-value = 0.000). Nuclear grade 3 and N2,3 were higher in metastasis group (p-value = 0.010 and p-value = 0.000, p-value = 0.001 respectively). Stage III was also higher in metastasis group (p-value = 0.000). Among 59 patients with distantmetastasis, multiple sites metastasis was 21 cases (35.6%) and then lung metastasis was 19 cases (32.2%). In the 21 cases of multiple sites metastasis, triple sites was 6 cases (28.6%) and double sites was 15 cases (71.4%). PIK3CA mutation was the most frequent gene variation in all patients (34.5% of no metastasis group and 27.1% of metastasis group) but there was no difference between two groups(p-value = 0.278). BRCA 1 loss of function and BRCA2 loss of function were more frequent in metastasis group than no metastasis group(p-value = 0.033 and p-value = 0.024, respectively) but total counts was too small. We assessed the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for predictive value. The AUC of ROC curve was 1.000 and also accuracy, precision, recall were 1.000. In addition, we conducted internal validation using 83 patients during 2015. When we applied a 0.5 threshold value with our predictive model, true negative was 81 and true positive was 2 among 83 patients. Finally, the accuracy of validation was 1.000.
Conclusion
Our predicted model could represent a useful and easy-to-access tool for the selection of patients with distant metastasis. After additional evaluation with large data and external validation, worldwide use of our model could be expected.

Abstract
Abstract
Understanding how standard-of-care drug treatments affect tumor intrinsic biology and microenvironment is critical for elucidating drug resistance mechanisms and developing better combination therapies as well as new therapies. To characterize the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on the genome, transcriptome and tumor infiltrating leukocytes (TILs), we have conducted whole exome and whole transcriptome sequencing of a large longitudinal breast cancer cohort consisting of 146 cases and 281 paired tumor samples. In total, 52 (38%) patients achieved pathologic complete response (pCR) while 85 patients (62%) had residual disease with standard chemotherapy regimen. Tumor biopsies were collected for each patient at three time points – pre-treatment, three weeks after the first cycle of anthracycline and cyclophosphamide (AC) and at the time of surgery after 3 more cycles of AC followed by 4 cycles of taxane or taxane plus Herceptin in case of HER2+ subtype. We detected 5,955 protein-altering somatic mutations affecting 4,414 genes in pretreatment samples and 502 acquired mutations in surgery samples affecting 477 genes including 19recurrently mutated genes such as TP53 and NOTCH1. Across all subtypes, 4,346 genes were differentially expressed (DE) following NAC treatment and significantly enriched in pathways such as cell cycle, ER signaling, PI3K/mTOR, immune and metabolism. Expression-based virtual microdissection analysis indicated that NAC treatment induced an increase in the fractions of stromal and adjacent normal tissue compartment, consistent with observed reduction in tumor cellularity. To assess the NAC induced changes in the molecular landscape of these tumors, we compared molecular features including gene expression signatures, mutation prevalence and copy number alteration between three time points while adjusting for confounding effects of molecular subtype and tumor cellularity. We found that NAC induced dynamic changes in gene expression signatures associated with proliferation and immunomodulatory treatment response. We further validated the observed pattern of change in TILs through histopathology and digital imaging analyses. In pretreatment tumors, 116 genes were DE between patients with pCR vs. those with residual disease with significant enrichment in immune/inflammatory pathways. Further, pre-treatment TIL levels were found to be significantly associated with pCR, echoing previous reports in breast cancers that implicated anti-tumor immunity in mediating the efficacy of chemotherapies. Our analyses also revealed associations between NAC response and baseline genomic attributes such as genomic alterations that affect DNA damage repair pathways. Taken together, these results suggest that NAC induced a multitude of changes on the genomic landscape and immune microenvironment of breast cancers, some of which point to combination strategies with immunomodulatory therapies and therapies that target DNA damage repair.

Abstract
Abstract
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA), as a non-invasive strategy, provides substantial benefit to overcome tumor heterogeneity. Surveillance of recurrence after standard treatment in early breast cancer (BC) using cfDNA, enables to detect minimal residual disease (MRD), also to identify genomic alterations driving recurrences. We aimed to assess the role of cfDNA in detecting MRD by investigating genomic alterations of 1)primary, recurred tumor and 2)cfDNA at time of recurrence using deep targeted sequencing. Fifty-four early BC patients were enrolled prospectively between 2014 and 2017 at time of recurrence. Median disease free interval was 28.5 months (rage 6.2-49.8). 62.7% (32/51) were hormone receptor (HR) positive (28 HRpos/HER2neg, 4 HRpos/HER2pos), 11.8% (6/51) were HRneg/HER2pos and 25.5% (13/51) were triple negative BCs. 59.3% (32/54) patients developed loco-regional recurrence (15 local recurrence only, 13 regional only, 4 with both) and distant metastasis was observed among 40.7% (22/54) patients. Cell-free DNA was extracted from 5cc blood at time of recurrence. Deep targeted sequencing was performed using customized NGS panel –encompassing 426 cancer-related target coding region, 242 fusion and amplification-related region- of cfDNA and FFPE(formalin fixed paraffin embedded) tumor samples archived from surgical resection or biopsy. Deep targeted sequencing data was successfully performed in 72.1% (31/43) plasma samples and sequencing yield was significantly lower when stored for more than 2yrs (46.2% vs 83.3%).
Mutations of cfDNA and tumor (primary, recurred) were analyzed. Mean sequencing depth of cfDNA and FFPE were x425.7 and x777.6 respectively. Median number of pathogenic mutations found in primary tumor, cfDNA and recurred tumor were 27(range 12-99), 25(range 8-85) and 9(range 0-23). Among mutations found in primary tumor, 27.4% were shared mutations (range 8.1%-72.7%) with recurred tumor and 26.1% were shared mutations (range 4.7%-69.2%) observed in cfDNA sample. Among mutations found in recurred tumor, 40.9% were observed in cfDNA (range 17.7-87.5%). In primary tumor, median number of mutations with allelic fraction (MAF)>10% were 12 (range 4-21) and at least one mutation was found in cfDNA at time of recurrence. Among mutations with MAF>10%, 59.4% and 69.1% were found in cfDNA and recurred tumor. Known oncogenic mutations of PIK3CA, TP53, GATA3, AKT1, ESR1, RELN, ERBB2, ERBB3, BRCA1 mutation were found. PIK3CA gene (p.H1047R) was found in two cases both in primary tumor and cfDNA at recurrence (MAF 11.4% vs 5.3% and 12.3% vs 15.4%) suggesting de novo driver mutation. One patient developed regional recurrence during adjuvant aromatase inhibitor with ESR1 V392I mutation in both cfDNA and recurred tumor (MAF 48.1 and 54.5%), while another patient's recurred tumor during aromatase inhibitor harbored ESR1 D538G mutation exclusively in recurred tumor with MAF <1%. Both patients had no ESR1 hotpot mutation in primary tumor.
Our data showed sequencing yield of 83.3% in plasma samples within 2yr. Pathogenic mutations in primary tumor, especially when MAF>10%, half of them was observed in cfDNA at time of recurrence. ESR1 mutation should be included in cfDNA surveillance for patients undergoing endocrine therapy even absent in primary tumor.

Abstract
AIM To explore the influencing factors and clinical features for pulmonary infection complicated with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in children.
METHODS A total of 139 children with pulmonary infection admitted to Changshan County People's Hospital from March 2015 to August 2017 were selected as an experimental group and 98 children who were examined at our hospital during the same period were selected as a reference group. All children were monitored for 24-h esophageal pH. The relationship between pulmonary infection and GER was analyzed, and Logistic regression method was used to analyze the influencing factors on them. The clinical features of children with pulmonary infection complicated with GER were summarized.
RESULTS The number of reflux episodes, mean time to reflux, longest reflux time, acid elimination time, acid exposure time, Boix-Ochoa score, and GER positive rate in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the reference group (P < 0.05 for all). Univariate analysis showed that the factors influencing pulmonary infection complicated with GER were age, severity of illness, chronic pharyngitis, and sedative drug use (P < 0.05 for all), but gender had no effect (P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, severity of illness, chronic pharyngitis, and sedation drug use in children affected the occurrence of pulmonary infection complicated with GER (P < 0.05 for all). Of the 56 children with GER who developed pulmonary infection, 29 developed coughing, 21 developed galactorrhea, 11 developed vomiting, 8 developed crying and antifeedant, 6 developed choking, 5 developed wheezing, and 2 developed wheezing respiration. Among them, cough and galactorrhea were found in 13 cases, cough and vomit in 7 cases, cough and crying antifeedant in 6 cases, and cough and choking symptoms in 4 cases. There were 29 (51.79%) children with underlying diseases: 11 cases of laryngeal softening, 5 cases of milk allergy and congenital heart disease each, 3 cases of exercise retardation, 2 cases of funnel chest and esophageal hiatus each, and 1 case of malnutrition.
CONCLUSION The incidence of GER in children with pulmonary infection is high, and age, severity of pulmonary infection, chronic pharyngitis, and sedative drug use are risk factors affecting their occurrence. There are many basic diseases in these children. GER should be considered in children with pulmonary infection who have clinical symptoms associated with cough, galactorrhea, vomiting, crying and antifeedant, choking, and wheezing.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has a unique and complex etiology, which is not completely understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression patterns of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (PKB), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) proteins in patients with NPC and their relationship with NPC progression and prognosis. Between January 2008 and March 2010, PI3K, PKB, and mTOR protein expressions were detected using immunohistochemistry among 119 patients with NPC and 30 healthy people. A 5-year follow-up was conducted for all patients. Correlations of PI3K, PKB, and mTOR proteins with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of NPC were evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and Kaplan-Meier curve. Cox's regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors for the prognosis of NPC. First, PI3K, PKB, and mTOR were highly expressed in patients with NPC. The expressions of PI3K, PKB, and mTOR proteins were associated with T stage, N stage, clinical stage, relapse, and distant metastasis. Meanwhile, PI3K is positively correlated with PKB and PKB is positively correlated with mTOR in NPC. Higher PI3K, PKB, and mTOR protein expressions were related to a shorter survival time and a lower survival rate in NPC. Cox regression analysis revealed that age, T stage, N stage, PI3K, PKB, and mTOR were independent risk factors for NPC patient survival. Altogether, our data suggest that overexpression of PI3K, PKB, and mTOR proteins is an important indicator of poor survival in NPC. In addition, inhibition of PI3K-PKB-mTOR signaling may also contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for NPC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic value of morphology and Hans classification in diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL). METHODS Clinical data of 249 patients diagnosed with DLBCL in our hospital and Hangzhou Xixi hospital during Jan 2006 to Dec 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. These patients were classified into 3 groups: immunoblastic variant(IB) group, centroblastic variant(CB) group and others group according to the cell morphology. And DLBCL was also divided into GCB(germinal center B-cell-like)or non-GCB(non-germinal center B-cell-like) group by analyzing the expression of CD10, BCL6 and MUM1 (GCB: CD10 +,BCL6+-,MUM1+-/CD10-,BCL6+,MUM1-;non-GCB:CD10-,BCL6-,MUM1+-/CD10-,BCL6+,MUM1+). RESULTS The univariate analysis displayed that the age,LDH level,IPI,IB,non-GCB,B-symptoms and rituximab all could influence the OS and EFS, the CR rate of CB subtype patients was significantly higher than that of the patients with IB subtype (68.3% vs 38.9%)(P=0.02). IB subtype was the in dependent prognostic factor for both EFS and OS in the whole study. In multivariate analysis, IPI and IB were the independent prognostic factors for OS and EFS. IB subtype was also an independent prognostic factor in EFS and OS with or without rituximab. The expression of BCL2 and BCL6 was related with prognosis in R-CHOP, but not in CHOP treated patients. Other markers (CD5, CD10, IRF4/MUM1, HLA-DR and Ki-67 proliferation index) were not of the significant prognostic value for DLBCL. When accepted rituximab, the GCB and non-GCB were not different significantly for prognosis. However, the non-GCB group showed a poor prognosis without using rituximab (EFS P=0.020;OS P=0.020). Multivariate Cox models showed that OS and EFS were not significantly different between GCB and non-GCB group, however, the IB subtype had a very significantly poor prognosis in OS and EFS (P=0.001, P=0.002). When the analysis was restricted to DLBCL with CB morphology only, no prognostic value was observed in Hans classification. CONCLUSION The subtype of immunoblast is a major risk factor in patients treated with CHOP or R-CHOP. There is a significant association between the Hans classification and the morphologic subclassification. Results of this study have supplemented the data for the prognostic factor of DLBCL and demonstrated that the cytomorphologic diagnosis can be reproducible.

Abstract
We investigate theoretically the effects of modulated periodic perpendicular magnetic fields on the electronic states and optical absorption spectrum in monolayer black phosphorus (phosphorene). We demonstrate that different phosphorene magnetic superlattice (PMS) orientations can give rise to distinct energy spectra, i.e. tuning the intrinsic electronic anisotropy. Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) develops a spin-splitting energy dispersion in this phosphorene magnetic superlattice. Anisotropic momentum-dependent carrier distributions along/perpendicular to the magnetic strips are demonstrated. The manipulations of these exotic electronic properties by tuning superlattice geometry, magnetic field and the RSOC term are addressed systematically. Accordingly, we find bright-to-dark transitions in the ground-state electron-hole pair transition rate spectrum and the PMS orientation-dependent anisotropic optical absorption spectrum. This feature offers us a practical way of modulating the electronic anisotropy in phosphorene by magnetic superlattice configurations and detecting this modulation capability by using an optical technique.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) gene encodes an estrogen receptor, which regulates cell proliferation and promotes tumor progression in estrogen receptor(ER)-positive breast cancer (BC). Therefore, endocrine therapy that inhibiting ER downstream signal, is the most effective treatment strategy in ER-positive BC. However, about 25% of patients with primary disease and almost all patients with metastases will present with or eventually develop endocrine resistance. And genetic alteration of ESR1 is now identified as the endocrine resistance mechanism. However, a few data from clinical trials or public data base exists and could not reflect real world clinic. Therefore, we aimed to identify the frequency and type of ESR1 genetic alterations in BCs through this large scaled study.
Methods: We performed targeted ultra-deep sequencing (CancerSCAN™) using BC tissue specimens. This sequencing was covered entire coding area of ESR1 gene and also detected copy number alteration and translocation of ESR1.
Results: Targeted ultra-deep sequencing of ESR1 was performed using 618 BC tissues. Of 618 tissue samples, 253(40.9%) were MBCs, 362(58.6%) were early BCs (EBCs) and 3 were not identified. In terms of subtypes, 220 ER-positive BCs, 122 ER-positive and HER2-positive BCs, 119 HER2-positive and 153 triple-negative BCs (TNBCs) were included. BCs from patients under 40 year-old were 277(44.8%)(Median: 43.0, range: 23.5 -75.6). ESR1 genetic alterations were identified in 21 BCs (5 EBCs and 16 MBCs). In EBCs, 3 cases were observed in TNBCs and 2 cases were in ER-positive BCs (2.6% and 1.2%, respectively). All five EBC were treatment naïve status. Of 16 cases of ESR1 alterations in MBCs, 10 cases of ESR1 alterations were detected in ER-positive BCs (17.6%), 5cases in ER and HER2-positive BCs(6.7%) and 1 in HER2-positive BCs (1.2%). All ER-positive MBCs were treated with more than one line of endocrine therapy. Most commonly detected genetic alteration was single nucleotide variant (SNV) (15 of 21, 71.4%). Thirteen were in ligand binding domain and two cases occurred in activation function-1 (AF-1) domain (P79A and G145S). D538G and V392I were most frequently mutated loci followed by Y537N (3, 3 and 2 cases, respectively) and only metastatic ER-positive BCs harbored ESR1 activating mutation. Four copy number (CN) amplification in 2 ER-positive and 2 ER and HER2-positive BCs, one CN deletion in TNBC and one ESR1 fusion in ER and HER2-positive BC were also detected (19.0%, 4.8% and 4.8%, respectively). In frame ESR1 fusion was occurred between ESR1 and NPHS1 genes.
Conclusion: In this experimental study, ESR1 genetic alterations were frequently detected in ER-positive MBC but ER-negative or EBC also harbored. The type of genetic alterations varied including SNVs, CN alterations and translocation and ESR1-NPHS1 fusion is the novel genetic alteration that has not been reported. To identify the role of ESR1 genetic alteration in ER-negative BCs and novel translocation, further functional validation would be warranted (Clinical trials.gov Number :NCT02591966).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate blood pressure (BP) profiles among Taiwanese women with different dietary patterns. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS A total of 269 non-hypertensive Taiwanese women, 40 years of age or older, were surveyed using structured questionnaires, and measurements of BP and physiological parameters were made. To assess differences among vegans, ovo-vegetarians, and meat eaters in terms of BP, demographic, and health behavior data, the chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests were employed for categorical variables, and analysis of variance and independent t-tests were performed for continuous variables. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between BP and dietary patterns while controlling for potential confounding factors. RESULTS A significant difference was found among the three test groups in terms of age, education, employment, stress, and waist-hip ratio. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) significantly differed among the three groups. After controlling for age, body weight, waist circumference, and hip circumference, the three groups were observed to be a significant risk factor of the SBP and DBP. The SBP and DBP of the ovo-vegetarian group were significantly lower than those of the meat-eater group. No significant differences were found between the vegan and meat-eater groups in terms of SBP and DBP. CONCLUSION Dietary pattern is a likely risk factor for SBP and DBP outcomes in Taiwanese women. In particular, the SBP and DBP of ovo-vegetarians are the lowest among the values observed for all dietary patterns. This finding suggests that an ovo-vegetarian diet is beneficial for long-term BP control and prevention of hypertension in females.

Abstract
AIM To establish a severe acute cholangitis (SAC) model in mice.
METHODS Cholecystic catheterization was performed under the condition of bile duct ligation (BDL). Trans-cholecystic injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was defined as the SAC animal model. Sham operation group, intraperitoneal injection of LPS without BDL group, intraperitoneal injection of LPS with BDL group and trans-cholecystic injection of normal saline with BDL group were defined as control groups. The survival rates and tissue injuries in liver, lungs and kidney were evaluated.
RESULTS Mice in the SAC group showed a time-dependent mortality and much more severe tissue injuries in liver, lungs and kidney, compared with other groups. However, relieving biliary obstruction could effectively reduce mortality and attenuate liver injury in the SAC mouse model.
CONCLUSION Trans-cholecystic injection of LPS under the condition of biliary obstruction could establish a repeatable and reversible mouse model of SAC.

Abstract
Introduction:Substantial efforts have been made to find factors associated with breast cancer (BC) recurrence and mortality after BC treatment. So far TNM stage, ER, PR, and HER2 status are considered as the major predictive markers of BC recurrence and used for treatment decision. However, most of these factors were evaluated independent from other important confounders such as age, stage, and various anti-cancer treatments because they were mostly derived from clinical trials. In Korea, up to 50% of BC patients are premenopausal women, it is not clear how age at diagnosis affect the progression and outcomes of the disease considering all known prognostic factors including TNM stage, ER, PR, and HER2 status. We aim to evaluate the impact of young age on recurrence and mortality after surgery among Korean women with BC.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted using the data from BC registry from 2000 to 2016 at Samsung Medical Cancer, Seoul, Korea. Patients who received curative BC surgery and who had histologically-confirmed invasive BC between 2000 to 2011 were included in the study. Patients who second primary cancer or double primary cancer were excluded. Information local, regional, or distant recurrence and death until May 2016 was collected using electronic medical records and National Health Statistics. Cumulative incidence rates of distant recurrence and morality at 3-years, 5-years and 10-years were calculated using a competing-risk model. Cox proportional hazards analysis were conducted with 3 different models to take into account for potential confounding factors including age, body mass index (BMI), stage and subtype at breast cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy.
Results:There were 7360 BC patients with curative BC surgery between 2000 and 2011, and the average follow up duration was 75.4 months. The mean age at diagnosis was 48.4 years old (Standard deviation (SD)=±10), and 6.2% (n=459) was diagnosed younger than 35. Of total, 13.3% were stage III BC and 73.4% of patients had hormone receptor positive BC. The cumulative incidence (95%CI) of recurrence at 3, 5, and 10 years was 4.4% (3.9-4.9), 7.5% (6.8-8.2), and 14.8% (12.9-16.7) respectively. The incidence of mortality at 3, 5, and 10 years was 1.8% (1.5-2.1), 3.8% (3.3-4.3), and 10.2% (9.1-11.5) respectively. Patients who were diagnosed BC under 35 years of age had 2.14 (95% confidence interval (CI):1.74-3.10) and 1.62 (95% CI:1.02-2.56) times higher risk of distant recurrence and mortality compared to patients whose age at diagnosis were between 50 to 60 after adjusting all well-known prognostic factors including stage, subtype, and BMI at diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy.
Conclusions: Young age at diagnosis (<35) was the most significant predictor on BC recurrence and mortality independently from BC stage and subtype. Further study is warranted to explain biologic background for the differences in outcomes in young women with BC.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a new biomarker which could guide further treatment. Characterization of tumor mutation profiles is required for informed choice of therapy, given that biological agents target specific pathways and effectiveness may be modulated by specific mutations. It would have clinical utility for neoadjuvant setting also. Thus, we assess the potency of ctDNA to predict tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) in locally advanced breast cancer(LABC).
Methods: We performed targeted deep sequencing of 30 plasma DNAs and 10 matched germline DNAs from 10 LABC patients. Serial plasma DNAs were collected at diagnosis, after 1st NAC and curative surgery. For the target enrichment, we designed RNA baits covering a total of ~202kb regions of human genome including a total of 83 cancer-related genes. We constructed the sequencing libraries according to the optimized protocol that we recently reported and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2500 aiming a mean sequencing depth of ~10,000. After excluding unmapped reads, PCR duplicates and off-target reads, the coverage depths for plasma DNA and germline DNA samples were 2,627x and 4,833x on average, respectively. NAC response was measured by residual cancer burden(RCB) score, calculated as a continuous index combining pathologic measurements of primary tumor and nodal metastases for prediction of distant relapse-free survival.
Results: We analyzed ctDNA and primary tumor tissues from 10 patients with LABC scheduled NAC followed by operation in Samsung Medical Center. Of ten LABCs, one excluded from analysis because of angiosarcoma of breast. Five samples were triple-negative breast cancers (BCs), 2 were HER2 positive BCs and others were ER positive BCs. In tumor response, 1 patient had pathologic complete response (pCR), 1 had RCB class I, 4 and 3 patients did RCB class II and III.
Of 83 genes, in analysis of ctDNA at BC diagnosis, we found 2 to 6 mutations in each samples and 3 mutations were detected averagely. Most common mutation was TP53 (6 patients), followed by PIK3CA mutation. By measuring these mutations in serial ctDNA, we found that ctDNA had disappeared after first cycle of NAC in patient with pCR. In two patients with RCB class I, ctDNA had decreased by more than 10 percent (the level of ctDNA(pg/ml): 455.9 to 30.4, 5.8 to 0.0) of primary plasma sample after first NAC. Two patients increased level of ctDNA had tumor response with RCB class III and one patient had distant tumor recurrence within 3 months after curative surgery. However, correlation between the level of ctDNA and initial stage was not observed.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: Crosstalk between growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and the estrogen receptor (ER) represents one of the most important mechanisms of endocrine resistance. EGFR and HER2 have been recognized as prominent factors associated with endocrine resistance. Most previous studies did not identify subgroups by HER2 overexpression and/or included breast cancer with HER2 overexpression. Accordingly, we analyzed HR positive (HR+) tumors without HER2 overexpression (HER2-).
Methods: We analyzed the clinical data of 2,166 patients with HR+HER2- breast tumors, between January 2007 and July 2013.We included only patients who had endocrine therapy with tamoxifen. Immunostaining for EGFR was interpreted as positive when at least 10% of the tumor cells showed moderate to strong membrane staining.
Results: EGFR expression (EGFR+) was present in 109 patients (5%). EGFR expression was significantly associated with more advanced stage and higher grades. In the univariate analyses, EGFR+ tumors were associated with poorer prognosis than EGFR- tumors (5-year DFS, EGFR+ vs. EGFR-, 91.2% vs. 96.6%, P <0.001; 5-year OS, EFGR+ vs EGFR-, 93.1 % vs. 99.4%, P < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, EGFR+ tumors had a hazard ratio of 2.63 (95% CI 1.14 -6.05) for DFS. EGFR+ tumors had a hazard ratio of 8.8 (95% CI 2.68-132.25) for OS.
Conclusion: EGFR expression could be prognostic factor in hormone receptor-positive and HER2 negative breast cancer, for tamoxifen resistance.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical and molecular genetic features of a Chinese patient with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Methods: Clinical data including resting electrocardiography, echocardiography and treadmill exercise testing of a patient with CPVT admitted to our department in March 2013 were analyzed, and the peripheral venous blood samples of the patient and his family members and 400 ethnicity-matched healthy controls were obtained. All exons and exon-intron boundaries of the six CPVT-related genes including RYR2, CASQ2, TRDN, CALM1, KCNJ2 and ANKB were sequenced to detect the variants related to CPVT. The relationship between the genotypes and phenotypes was analyzed to direct the target therapy. Results: Recurrent syncope induced either by exercise or extreme frightened fear was observed in this patient. There was no positive family history of syncope or sudden death. The resting electrocardiography and echocardiography of the patient were normal, while the exercise testing revealed bidirectional and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. A cardiac ryanodine receptor gene mutation (R2401H) was identified in this patient, while this mutation was absent in his parents and sister and 400 controls. No variant was detected in the remaining five candidate genes. Treatment with high dose of metoprolol succinate (118.75 mg/d) was effective and patient was free of syncopal attack during the 2 years follow-up. Conclusion: This is the first report on RyR2-R2401H mutation in Chinese patient with CPVT, and high dose of metoptolol is the effective therapy option for CPVT related to RyR2 mutation.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the clinical effects of Bifidobacterium triple viable tablets combined with montmorillonite in the treatment of damp-heat diarrhea in children and to explore the mechanism involved.
METHODS Sixty pediatric patients with damp-heat diarrhea were randomly divided into either a control group (n = 30) or an observation group (n = 30). The control group was treated with montmorillonite alone, and the observation group was treated with Bifidobacterium triple viable tablets plus montmorillonite. Clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. The possible immune mechanism involved was explored by detecting different subsets of T cells. The rate of adverse drug reactions was also compared between the two groups.
RESULTS The times to recovery of normal body temperature, normal stool, and remission of vomiting and abdominal pain were significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in CD3+ cells, CD4+ cells, or CD4+/CD8+ ratio between the two groups (P > 0.05); however, these indexes were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group 5 d after treatment (P < 0.05). The rate of adverse drug reactions between the two groups had no statistical significance (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION Bifidobacterium triple viable tablets combined with montmorillonite is more effective than montmorillonite alone in children with damp-heat diarrhea, and it can regulate the body's immunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of cod skin peptide (CSPE) on chemotherapy-induced toxicity in gastric cancer patients. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN A cohort of 60 gastric cancer patients for chemotherapy was randomly divided into two groups (n=30 per group), who were orally treated with either supplemental CSPE or placebo apart from chemotherapy. The hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities experienced by the patients, as well as their Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) as an index of quality of life was evaluated. RESULTS Leukocyte counts and haemoglobin levels were significantly reduced in the group treated with peptide (p<0.05), while gastrointestinal toxicity was not affected (p>0.05). KPS consists of 11 categories of quality of life, and the score denoted in deciles ranges from 100 (asymptomatic, normal function) to 0 (death). The KPS score is used to evaluate a cancer patient's ability to function at work and home, the severity of symptoms, and the patient's need for personal and medical care. Treatment with CSPE significantly improved the quality of life of patients, as indicated by increased KPS scores (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS CSPE can potentially be considered as a food supplement that can be used to improve the quality of life of cancer patients.

Abstract
Ulcerative foot infection is a chronic complication frequently seen in diabetic patients, and can result in disability. To evaluate insulin pump treatment for type 2 diabetes in combination with ulcerative foot infection, we selected 168 diabetic patients who developed foot ulcers and received treatment from April 2012 to April 2014 in the Peoples Hospital of Zhengzhou, Henan, China. The patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group, 84 in each group. Besides anti-infection treatment, patients in the control group were given multiple subcutaneous insulin injection (MSII), while patients in the treatment group were given continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Ulcer area, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), C-reactive protein (CRP) and count of white blood cells (WBC) were recorded before treatment, one week after treatment, two weeks after treatment and four weeks after treatment; moreover, ulcer healing condition was recorded four weeks after treatment and the related factors were analyzed. Patients in the treatment group showed an obviously narrowed ulcer area two and four weeks after treatment (P less than 0.05) and significantly lowered levels of FPG, CRP and WBC in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd weeks after treatment (P less than 0.05); four weeks after treatment, 88.1% of patients in the treatment group and 66.7% in the control group had healed well, and the difference between two groups was statistically significant (χ2=5.509, P=0.019). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis indicated that levels of FPG, CRP and WBC at baseline and four weeks after treatment had a positive correlation to ulcer healing (P less than 0.05). All the above findings suggest that insulin pump can improve ulcer healing of patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers as it effectively controls blood glucose level, restrains inflammatory reaction and prevents spreading of infection.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist therapy for ovarian function preservation shows promising results. This study aimed to determine the oncologic efficacy of GnRH agonist treatment concurrent with chemotherapy in a neoadjuvant setting.
Patients and Methods
A retrospective analysis was performed on 332 cases of invasive breast cancer in patients who were <40 years old at diagnosis and received GnRH agonists concurrent with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (GnRH agonist group) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone (neochemotherapy-alone group) at Asan Medical Center from December 2010 to September 2014. Pathologic complete response rates (pCR) and Ki-67 changes were evaluated between the two groups. For hormone receptor (HR)-positive tumors, the clinical response and preoperative endocrine prognostic index (PEPI) score also were evaluated.
Results
The median age was 32 ± 3.9 and 36 ± 3.0 years old in the GnRH agonist group and neochemotherapy-alone group, respectively (P < .001). Adjusted for tumor size, grade, lymph node metastasis, HR status, and chemotherapy regimen, the GnRH agonist group exhibited a higher pCR rate with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.98 (95% CI, 1.37–6.34) and more decreased Ki-67 expression during treatment (P = 0.05) than the neochemotherapy-alone group. In HR-negative tumors, the GnRH agonist group showed a higher pCR rate (multivariate OR = 3.50; 95% CI, 1.37–8.95) and more decreased Ki-67 expression (P = 0.047). In HR-positive breast cancer, the pCR rate, change in Ki-67 index, and clinical response were higher and preoperative prognostic index (PEPI) scores were lower in the GnRH agonist group, but not significant between the two treatment groups.
Conclusion
Concurrent administration of GnRH agonists during neoadjuvant chemotherapy improved pCR rates and suppressed Ki-67 expression especially in HR-negative tumors.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) is an ectopic lymph node-like structure characterized by lymphoid aggregation with high endothelial venules (HEVs), and is an important source of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). TILs have a strong prognostic and predictive significance, particularly in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We previously analyzed expression of immune-related genes in pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) biopsy samples using NanoString assay and showed that gene expression of follicular helper T cell marker CXCL13, which is closely associated with TLSs, was an independent predictive factor for pathologic complete remission (pCR) in TNBC. However, measuring gene expression of biopsy sample is not easy to perform in daily pathology practice. Therefore, we evaluated TLSs by assessing hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained slides and immunohistochemistry, and investigated their clinical importance.
Methods
A total of 108 patients diagnosed with primary TNBC and treated with NAC (anthracycline, cyclophosphamide, and taxane) were included. The amounts of TILs and TLSs were histopathologically measured in H&E slides. Immunohistochemical studies were done in 55 cases with available tissue samples. The numbers of CD3-, CD8-, and CD20- immunopositive cells in tumor areas were counted by the image analyzer. MECA79- immunopositive HEV densities were calculated. Their relationship to CXCL13 gene expression by NanoString assay was also analyzed.
Results
The overall rate of pCR was 30.6% (33 of 108 tumors). Lower pre-NAC clinical T stage and higher level of TIL and TLS assessed by H&E slides were predictors of pCR in all cases. The mean number of MECA 79-immunopositive HEV in pre-NAC biopsy samples was 12 (range, 0-72). The amounts of TILs and TLSs, numbers of CD3-, CD8-, and CD20- positive cells, HEV density, and expression of CXCL13 showed good correlation with one another. Higher HEV density, CD20- positive cell number, and CXCL13 expression were predictors of pCR. Higher CD8- positive cell numbers and CXCL13 expression were associated with better disease-free survival rate.
Conclusion
The amount of TLSs assessed by H&E slides and MECA 79-immunopositive HEV densities was well correlated with level of TILs, numbers of CD3-, CD8-, and CD20-positive cells, and gene expression of CXCL13, and was significantly associated with pCR in TNBCs. Therefore, assessing HEV density by MECA 79 immunohistochemistry in pre-NAC biopsy samples might be an objective and valuable tool for predicting pCR of TNBC in routine pathology practice. Further investigation of mechanism of TLS development might help to improve immunotherapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is a rate-limiting enzyme involved in NAD+ biosynthesis. Although NAMPT has emerged as a critical regulator of metabolic stress, the underlying mechanisms by which it regulates metabolic stress in cancer cells have not been completely elucidated. In this study, we determined that breast cancer cells expressing a high level of NAMPT were resistant to cell death induced by glucose depletion. Furthermore, NAMPT inhibition suppressed tumor growth in vivo in a xenograft model. Under glucose deprivation conditions, NAMPT inhibition was found to increase the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, leading to cell death. This cell death was rescued by treatment with antioxidants or NAD+. Finally, we showed that NAMPT increased the pool of NAD+ that could be converted to NADPH through the pentose phosphate pathway and inhibited the depletion of reduced glutathione under glucose deprivation. Collectively, our results suggest a novel mechanism by which tumor cells protect themselves against glucose deprivation-induced oxidative stress by utilizing NAMPT to maintain NADPH levels.
