Abstract
OBJECTIVE To exploit the improved prediction performance based on dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI by using dynamic radiomics for microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS We retrospectively included 175 and 75 HCC patients who underwent preoperative DCE-MRI from September 2019 to August 2022 in institution 1 (development cohort) and institution 2 (validation cohort), respectively. Static radiomics features were extracted from the mask, arterial, portal venous, and equilibrium phase images and used to construct dynamic features. The static, dynamic, and dynamic-static radiomics (SR, DR, and DSR) signatures were separately constructed based on the feature selection method of LASSO and classification algorithm of logistic regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curve (AUC) were plotted to evaluate and compare the predictive performance of each signature. RESULTS In the three radiomics signatures, the DSR signature performed the best. The AUCs of the SR, DR, and DSR signatures in the training set were 0.750, 0.751 and 0.805, respectively, while in the external validation set, the corresponding AUCs were 0.706, 0756 and 0.777. The DSR signature showed significant improvement over the SR signature in predicting MVI status (training cohort: P = 0.019; validation cohort: P = 0.044). After external validation, the AUC value of the SR signature decreased from 0.750 to 0.706, while the AUC value of the DR signature did not show a decline (AUCs: 0.756 vs. 0.751). CONCLUSIONS The dynamic radiomics had an improved effect on the MVI prediction in HCC, compared with the static DCE MRI-based radiomics models.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical cells (PECs) are an important technology for converting solar energy, which has experienced rapid development in recent decades. Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) are also gaining increasing attention due to their crucial role in PEC reactions. This review comprehensively delves into the significance of TCO materials in PEC devices. Starting from an in-depth analysis of various TCO materials, this review discusses the properties, fabrication techniques, and challenges associated with these TCO materials. Next, we highlight several cost-effective, simple, and environmentally friendly methods, such as element doping, plasma treatment, hot isostatic pressing, and carbon nanotube modification, to enhance the transparency and conductivity of TCO materials. Despite significant progress in the development of TCO materials for PEC applications, we at last point out that the future research should focus on enhancing transparency and conductivity, formulating advanced theories to understand structure-property relationships, and integrating multiple modification strategies to further improve the performance of TCO materials in PEC devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The risk category of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are closely related to the surgical method, the scope of resection, and the need for preoperative chemotherapy. We aimed to develop and validate convolutional neural network (CNN) models based on preoperative venous-phase CT images to predict the risk category of gastric GISTs. METHOD A total of 425 patients pathologically diagnosed with gastric GISTs at the authors' medical centers between January 2012 and July 2021 were split into a training set (154, 84, and 59 with very low/low, intermediate, and high-risk, respectively) and a validation set (67, 35, and 26, respectively). Three CNN models were constructed by obtaining the upper and lower 1, 4, and 7 layers of the maximum tumour mask slice based on venous-phase CT Images and models of CNN_layer3, CNN_layer9, and CNN_layer15 established, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) and the Obuchowski index were calculated to compare the diagnostic performance of the CNN models. RESULTS In the validation set, CNN_layer3, CNN_layer9, and CNN_layer15 had AUROCs of 0.89, 0.90, and 0.90, respectively, for low-risk gastric GISTs; 0.82, 0.83, and 0.83 for intermediate-risk gastric GISTs; and 0.86, 0.86, and 0.85 for high-risk gastric GISTs. In the validation dataset, CNN_layer3 (Obuchowski index, 0.871) provided similar performance than CNN_layer9 and CNN_layer15 (Obuchowski index, 0.875 and 0.873, respectively) in prediction of the gastric GIST risk category (All P >.05). CONCLUSIONS The CNN based on preoperative venous-phase CT images showed good performance for predicting the risk category of gastric GISTs.

Abstract
The associations of dynapenic abdominal obesity and transitions with frailty progression remain unclear among middle-aged and older adults. We included 6937 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and 3735 from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA). Participants were divided into non-dynapenia and non-abdominal obesity (ND/NAO), abdominal obesity alone (AO), dynapenia alone (D), and dynapenic abdominal obesity (D/AO). Frailty status was assessed by the frailty index (FI), and a linear mixed-effect model was employed to analyze the associations of D, AO, D/AO, and transitions with frailty progression. Participants with AO, D, and D/AO had increased FI progression compared with ND/NAO in both cohorts. D/AO possessed the greatest additional annual FI increase of 0.383 (95% CI: 0.152 to 0.614), followed by D and AO in the CHARLS. Participants with D in the ELSA had the greatest magnitude of accelerated FI progression. Participants who transitioned from ND/NAO to D and from AO to D/AO presented accelerated FI progression in the CHARLS and ELSA. In conclusion, dynapenic abdominal obesity, especially for D/AO and D, presented accelerated frailty progression. Our findings highlighted the essential intervention targets of dynapenia and abdominal obesity for the prevention of frailty progression.

Abstract
Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that the immunofluorescence staining data shown in Fig. 3C, and the migration and invasion assay data shown in Figs. 4C and 4D were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other research articles written by different authors at different research institutes that had either already been published, or were submitted for publication at around the same time, one of which has been retracted. In addition, the western blotting data shown for the E‑cadherin and AKT protein bands in Fig. 5 were strikingly similar, albeit the bands had been flipped vertically. Owing to the fact that contentious data in the above article had already been submitted for publication elsewhere prior to its submission to International Journal of Molecular Medicine, the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.

Abstract
Climate dictates wildfire activity around the world. But East and Southeast Asia are an apparent exception as fire-activity variation there is unrelated to climatic variables. In subtropical China, fire activity decreased by 80% between 2003 and 2020 amid increased fire risks globally. Here, we assessed the fire regime, vegetation structure, fuel flammability and their interactions across subtropical Hubei, China. We show that tree basal area (TBA) and fuel flammability explained 60% of fire-frequency variance. Fire frequency and fuel flammability, in turn, explained 90% of TBA variance. These results reveal a novel system of scrubland-forest stabilized by vegetation-fire feedbacks. Frequent fires promote the persistence of derelict scrubland through positive vegetation-fire feedbacks; in forest, vegetation-fire feedbacks are negative and suppress fire. Thus, we attribute the decrease in wildfire activity to reforestation programs that concurrently increase forest coverage and foster negative vegetation-fire feedbacks that suppress wildfire.

Abstract
The local structure and spin Hamiltonian parameters (SHPs) g factors (gx , gy , gz ) and the hyperfine structure constants (Ax , Ay , Az ) for Cu2+ doped in the LiTaO3 crystal are theoretically investigated by the perturbation formulas for a 3d9 ion under rhombically elongated octahedral based on the cluster approach. The impurity Cu2+ was assumed to occupy the host trigonally-distorted octahedral Li+ site and experience the Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion from the host trigonal octahedral [TaO6 ]10- to the impurity rhombically elongated octahedral [CuO6 ]10- . Based on the calculations, the impurity-ligand bond lengths parallel and perpendicular to the C2 -axis are found to be R|| (≈ 2.305 Å) and R⊥ (≈ 2.112 Å) for the studied [CuO6 ]10- cluster, with the planar bond angle θ (≈ 78.2°). Meanwhile, the ground-state wave function for Cu2+ center in LiTaO3 was also obtained. The calculated SHPs based on the above local lattice distortions agree well with the experimental data, and the results are discussed.

Abstract
Nuclear transfer techniques, including spindle chromosome complex (SC) transfer and pronuclear transfer, have been employed to mitigate mitochondrial diseases. Nevertheless, the challenge of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) carryover remains unresolved. Previously, we introduced a method for aggregated chromosome (AC) transfer in human subjects, offering a potential solution. However, the subsequent rates of embryonic development have remained unexplored owing to legal limitations in Japan, and animal studies have been hindered by a lack of AC formation in other species. Building upon our success in generating ACs within mouse oocytes via utilization of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl 1-methylxanthine (IBMX), this study has established a mouse model for AC transfer. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of embryo development rates and mtDNA carryover between AC transfer and SC transfer was conducted. Additionally, the mitochondrial distribution around SC and AC structures was investigated, revealing that in oocytes at the metaphase II stage, the mitochondria exhibited a relatively concentrated arrangement around the spindle apparatus, while the distribution of mitochondria in AC-formed oocytes appeared to be independent of the AC position. The AC transfer approach produced a marked augmentation in rates of fertilization, embryo cleavage, and blastocyst formation, especially as compared to scenarios without AC transfer in IBMX-treated AC-formed oocytes. No significant disparities in fertilization and embryo development rates were observed between AC and SC transfers. However, relative real-time PCR analyses revealed that the mtDNA carryover for AC transfers was one-tenth and therefore significantly lower than that of SC transfers. This study successfully accomplished nuclear transfers with ACs in mouse oocytes, offering an insight into the potential of AC transfers as a solution to heteroplasmy-related challenges. These findings are promising in terms of future investigation with human oocytes, thus advancing AC transfer as an innovative approach in the field of human nuclear transfer methodology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND From November 2022 to February 2023, the Chinese mainland experienced a surge in COVID-19 infection and hospitalization, and the hospital-based healthcare workers (HCWs) might suffer serious psychological crisis during this period. This study aims to assess the depressive and anxiety symptoms among HCWs during the surge of COVID-19 pandemic and to provide possible reference on protecting mental health of HCWs in future infectious disease outbreaks. METHODS A multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out among hospital-based HCWs in the Chinese mainland from 5 January to 9 February 2023. The PHQ-9 (nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire) and GAD-7 (seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire) were used to measure depressive and anxiety symptoms. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to identify influencing factors. RESULTS A total of 6522 hospital-based HCWs in the Chinse mainland were included in this survey. The prevalence of depressive symptoms among the HCWs was 70.75%, and anxiety symptoms was 47.87%. The HCWs who perceived higher risk of COVID-19 infection and those who had higher work intensity were more likely to experience depressive and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, higher levels of mindfulness, resilience and perceived social support were negatively associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms. CONCLUSION This study revealed that a high proportion of HCWs in the Chinese mainland suffered from mental health disturbances during the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic. Resilience, mindfulness and perceived social support are important protective factors of HCWs' mental health. Tailored interventions, such as mindfulness practice, should be implemented to alleviate psychological symptoms of HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic or other similar events in the future.

Abstract
Pyrolysis of biomass feedstocks can produce valuable biofuel, however, the final products may present excessive corrosion and poor stability due to the lack of hydrogen content. Co-pyrolysis with hydrogen-rich substances such as waste plastics may compensate for these shortcomings. In this study, the co-pyrolysis of a common biomass, i.e. distiller's grains (DG), and waste polypropylene plastic (PP) were investigated towards increasing the quantity and quality of the production of biofuel. Results from the thermogravimetric analyses showed that the reaction interval of individual pyrolysis of DG and PP was 124-471 °C and 260-461 °C, respectively. Conversely, an interaction effect between DG and PP was observed during co-pyrolysis, resulting in a slower rate of weight loss, a longer temperature range for the pyrolysis reaction, and an increase in the temperature difference between the evolution of products. Likewise, the Coats-Redfern model showed that the activation energies of DG, PP and an equal mixture of both were 42.90, 130.27 and 47.74 kJ mol-1, respectively. It thus follows that co-pyrolysis of DG and PP can effectively reduce the activation energy of the reaction system and promote the degree of pyrolysis. Synergistic effects essentially promoted the free radical reaction of the PP during co-pyrolysis, thereby reducing the activation energy of the process. Moreover, due to this synergistic effect in the co-pyrolysis of DG and PP, the ratio of elements was effectively optimized, especially the content of oxygen-containing species was reduced, and the hydrocarbon content of products was increased. These results will not only advance our understanding of the characteristics of co-pyrolysis of DG and PP, but will also support further research toward improving an efficient co-pyrolysis reactor system and the pyrolysis process itself.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To achieve radical resection of locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and tested the safety and benefits of intestinal autotransplantation in pancreatic surgery. BACKGROUND PDAC has an extremely dismal prognosis. Radical resection was proved to improve the prognosis of patients with PDAC; however, the locally advanced disease had a very low resection rate currently. We explored and evaluated whether the combination of modern advances in systemic treatment and this macroinvasive surgery was feasible in clinical practice. METHODS Patients diagnosed as PDAC with superior mesenteric artery involvement and with or without celiac trunk involvement were included. Patients were treated with modified-FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy with or without anti-PD-1 antibodies and were applied to tumor resection combined with intestinal autotransplantation. Data on operative parameters, pathologic results, mortality, morbidity, and survival were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 36 consecutive cases were applied to this strategy and underwent radical resection combined with intestinal autotransplantation. Among these patients, 24 of them received the Whipple procedure, 11 patients received total pancreatectomy, and the other 1 patient received distal pancreatectomy. The median operation time was 539 minutes. Postoperative pathology showed an R0 resection rate of 94.4%, and tumor invasion of a superior mesenteric artery or superior mesenteric vein was confirmed in 32 patients. The median number of dissected lymph nodes was 43, and 25 patients were positive for lymph node metastasis. The median time of intensive care unit stay was 4 days. Two patients died within 30 days after surgery due to multiorgan failure. The severe postoperative adverse events (equal to or higher than grade 3) were observed in 12 out of 36 patients, and diarrhea, gastroparesis, and abdominal infection were the most frequent adverse events. Postoperative hospital stay was averagely of 34 days. The recurrence-free survival is 13.6 months. The median overall survival of patients after diagnosis and after surgery was 21.4 months and 14.5 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our attempt suggests the safety of this modality and may be clinically beneficial for highly selected patients with PDAC. However, the experience in multidisciplinary pancreatic cancer care and intestinal transplantation is warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The human papilloma virus (HPV) is a significant cause of cervical cancer and viral DNA can be detected in the blood of patients with cervical cancer (cfHPV-DNA). We hypothesized that detecting HPV cfDNA before, during and after chemoradiation (CRT) could provide insights into disease extent, clinical staging, and treatment response. MATERIALS/METHODS Forty-seven patients with cervical cancer were enrolled on this study between 2017 and 2022, either as part of a standard-of-care (SOC) treatment banking protocol (33 patients) or as part of a clinical trial combining a therapeutic HPV vaccine (PDS0101; Immunocerv, 14 patients). Longitudinal plasma samples were collected from each patient as baseline, during week 1, 3 or 5 of CRT. cfHPV-DNA was quantified using droplet digital PCR targeting the HPV E6/E7 oncogenes of 13 high-risk types based on analysis of cervical tumor genotype (AmpFire). Clinical covariates, including FIGO stage, primary tumor size, and treatment response were studied using appropriate statistical tests. RESULTS All 47 patients had detectable HPV cfDNA during CRT with 38 out of 47 having HPV type 16 detected. The median cfDNA at baseline was 24.5 copies/mL, with a range of 0 to 157,638 copies/mL. Of the 35 patients with at least three measurements, 20 (57%) had peak cfDNA counts at week 3, and 30 out of 35 showed a decline in cfDNA counts at week 5 compared to week 3. The proportion of patients who cleared cfDNA (<16 copies/mL) increased with each week of CRT, reaching 75% at week 5. Baseline cfDNA counts were associated with para-aortic nodal involvement (p<0.0001) but not with FIGO stage or gross tumor volume. A greater proportion of patients treated with therapeutic HPV-directed vaccine had clearance of cfDNA counts as compared to those treated with SOC (at week 3, 38% vs 5%, P = 0.02 and week 5, 79% vs 22%, P = 0.0054) CONCLUSION: HPV cfDNA levels change dynamically throughout definitive CRT and peak during the first 3 weeks for the majority of patients. Treatment with a therapeutic HPV vaccine was associated with a more rapid decline in cfHPV DNA. Further analysis of cfDNA kinetics could provide valuable information on the relationship between cfDNA levels, treatment response, and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To explore the therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects of high-dose radiotherapy concurrently with chemotherapy in treating patients with non-metastatic rectal cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients were enrolled if they were diagnosed with stage I-III rectal adenocarcinoma, refused surgery and received high-dose pelvic radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy instead. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for calculating local control and survival rates. Treatment related toxicities was evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 5.0). RESULTS Between April 2006 and February 2021, a total of 93 patients in our medical center were eligible for this study, with a median age of 61 (range, 21-84) years. Of those, 86 (92.5%) patients had tumors located within 5 cm of the anal verge. There were 8 (8.6%), 30 (32.3%) and 55 (59.1%) patients diagnosed with stage I, II and III, respectively. All patients received fluorouracil-based chemotherapy (single-agent fluorouracil or FOLFOX regimen). The irradiation techniques included three-dimensional conformal and intensity-modulated radiation therapy. The median total radiation dose for gross tumor volume (GTV) was 80 (range, 60-90) Gy. The 15 (16.1%) patients refusing surgery before treatment received one course of radiation (60-70 Gy/30-35 Fr). And a 2-course radiation (Course 1, 45-50 Gy/25 Fr; Course 2: 24-40 Gy/12-20 Fr) were given to the 78 (83.9%) patients who failed to achieve clinical complete remission (cCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy but still refused surgery, with a median interval of 79 (range, 35-195) days. The median follow-up duration was 66 (range, 10-161) months. The 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for all patients were 90.5% and 72.7%, respectively. The clinical complete remission rate at the end of chemoradiotherapy was 69.9%. Colostomy was performed in the 14 patients whose rectal tumor did not attain cCR or progressed. There was no grade 4/5 severe acute toxicity. No patient suffered from intestinal perforation. Only one patient developed anal stenosis. Because of rectal bleeding, blood transfusion was performed in 7 patients, and one patient underwent an enterostomy. CONCLUSION High-dose radiotherapy concurrent with chemotherapy brought encouraging survival outcomes, satisfactory organ preservation and acceptable short- and long-term side effects. It might be a safe and non-invasive alternative to abdominoperineal resection in rectal cancer patients refusing or unsuitable for surgery, especially for those with a low-position tumor.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Little is known about the sarcopenia transition process across different stages among Chinese community-dwelling older adults. We aimed to explore dynamic transitions of sarcopenia and its influencing factors in Chinese older adults. Research Design and Methods Data were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A total of 2856 older adults with complete data in the 2011, 2013, and 2015 waves were included in our study. Participants were categorized into 3 states: no sarcopenia, possible sarcopenia, and sarcopenia according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 (AWGS 2019) criteria. Continuous-time multistate Markov model was performed to estimate the 1-year transition probabilities and the associated factors of sarcopenia transitions. The association strength was expressed as hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval. Results The progression and reversion rates between no sarcopenia and sarcopenia state were 6.01 and 9.20 per 100 person-years, respectively. The 1-year progression probability to possible sarcopenia was higher compared with the likelihood of moving to the sarcopenia state (0.127 vs 0.034). The reversion probability to no sarcopenia was also higher among those with possible sarcopenia (0.281 vs 0.157). Older age, rural living, worse cognition status, higher chronic disease numbers, and lower nutrition status measured by body mass index accelerated the sarcopenia progression. Cognition status and body mass index level were related to higher chances of reverting. Discussion and Implications Possible sarcopenia might be a critical time window to promote sarcopenia reversion. Timely interventions aimed at delaying the progression and facilitating sarcopenia recovery should focus on improving cognitive function and nutrition levels.

Abstract
Background & Aims Distinct vascular patterns, including microvascular invasion (MVI) and vessels encapsulating tumour clusters (VETC), are associated with poor outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Imaging surrogates of these vascular patterns potentially help to predict post-resection recurrence. Herein, a prognostic model integrating imaging-based surrogates of these distinct vascular patterns was developed to predict postoperative recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with HCC. Methods Clinico-radiological data of 1,285 patients with HCC from China undergoing surgical resection were retrospectively enrolled from seven medical centres between 2014 and 2020. A prognostic model using clinical data and imaging-based surrogates of MVI and VETC patterns was developed (n = 297) and externally validated (n = 373) to predict RFS. The surrogates (i.e. MVI and VETC scores) were individually built from preoperative computed tomography using two independent cohorts (n = 360 and 255). Whether the model's stratification was associated with postoperative recurrence following anatomic resection was also evaluated. Results The MVI and VETC scores demonstrated effective performance in their respective training and validation cohorts (AUC: 0.851-0.883 for MVI and 0.834-0.844 for VETC). The prognostic model incorporating serum alpha-foetoprotein, tumour multiplicity, MVI score, and VETC score achieved a C-index of 0.748-0.764 for the developing and external validation cohorts and generated three prognostically distinct strata. For patients at model-predicted medium risk, anatomic resection was associated with improved RFS (p <0.05). By contrast, anatomic resection had no impact on RFS in patients at model-predicted low or high risk (both p >0.05). Conclusions The proposed model integrating imaging-based surrogates of distinct vascular patterns enabled accurate prediction for RFS. It can potentially be used to identify HCC surgical candidates who may benefit from anatomic resection. Impact and implications MVI and VETC are distinct vascular patterns of HCC associated with aggressive biological behaviour and poor outcomes. Our multicentre study provided a model incorporating imaging-based surrogates of these patterns for preoperatively predicting RFS. The proposed model, which uses imaging detection to estimate the risk of MVI and VETC, offers an opportunity to help shed light on the association between tumour aggressiveness and prognosis and to support the selection of the appropriate type of surgical resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) or modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) is the first-line standard of care for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma; effective and safe treatment strategies are needed as survival remains poor. Sintilimab, a human immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody for programmed cell death-1, has shown efficacy in various cancers. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of sintilimab with mFFX for metastatic/recurrent pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in China. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a single-center, randomized, controlled, open-label phase II study. Patients were assigned 1:1 to sintilimab + mFFX or mFFX (n = 55, each). RESULTS In the intention-to-treat population, median overall survivals (primary endpoint) were similar in the sintilimab + mFFX and mFFX groups: 10.9 and 10.8 months, respectively [hazard ratio (HR) 1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.69-1.68]. The objective response rate was higher [50.0% (95% CI 34.6-65.4%) versus 23.9% (95% CI 11.1-36.7%)] in the sintilimab + mFFX group (P < 0.05). Median (HR, 95% CI) progression-free survival and disease control rates (95% CI) were also similar at 5.9 and 5.7 months (0.93, 0.62-1.40), and 84.1% (72.8-95.3%) and 71.7%, (58.2-85.3%), respectively. Incidences of grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events were 84.9% (45/53) and 74.1% (40/54), and that of grade ≥ 3 immune-related adverse events were 5.7% (3/53) and 0 in each group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The study did not meet its primary endpoint, no clear survival benefit was observed, and the benefit of sintilimab + mFFX for advanced pancreatic cancer was not supported; however, the findings suggest that using this regimen for pancreatic cancer is feasible, has an acceptable safety profile, and leads to an objective response rate of 50%.

Abstract
Background and purpose Understanding the temporal trends of stroke burden and its attributable risk factors are essential for targeted prevention strategies. We aimed to describe the temporal trends and attributable risk factors of stroke in China. Methods Data on the stroke burden [incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)] and the population-attributable fraction for stroke risk factors from 1990 to 2019 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019). We analyzed trends in the burden of stroke and its attributable risk factors from 1990 to 2019, and the characteristics of stroke-attributable risk factors by sex, age group, and stroke subtype. Results From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized incidence, mortality, and DALY rates for total stroke decreased by 9.3% (3.3, 15.5), 39.8% (28.6, 50.7), and 41.6% (30.7, 50.9) respectively. The corresponding indicators all decreased for intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The age-standardized incidence rate of ischemic stroke increased by 39.5% (33.5 to 46.2) for male patients and by 31.4% (24.7 to 37.7) for female patients, and the age-standardized mortality and DALY rates remained almost unchanged. The three leading stroke risk factors were high systolic blood pressure, ambient particulate matter pollution, and smoking. High systolic blood pressure has remained the leading risk factor since 1990. The attributable risk of ambient particulate matter pollution shows a clear upward trend. Smoking and alcohol consumption were important risk factors for men. Conclusion This study reinforced the findings of an increased stroke burden in China. Precise stroke prevention strategies are needed to reduce the disease burden of stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Many patients with HCC of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A exceeding the Milan criteria, or of BCLC stage B, can undergo resection after successful preoperative therapy, but an optimal approach has not been identified. We investigated preoperative drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) plus sintilimab, in this setting. APPROACH AND RESULTS In this prospective, phase II study (NCT04174781), adults with HCC of BCLC stage A exceeding the Milan criteria, or BCLC stage B, and ineligible for surgical resection, received sintilimab 200 mg and DEB-TACE. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival by modified RECIST. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate, pathologic response rate, and safety. At the data cutoff (July 2022), among 60 patients, the objective response rate was 62% (37/60) and 51 patients had undergone surgery. After a median follow-up of 26.0 months (range, 3.4-31.8), the median progression-free survival was 30.5 months (95% CI: 16.1-not reached). Among patients undergoing surgery, median progression-free survival was not reached and the 12-month progression-free survival rate was 76% (95% CI: 67-91). A pathologic complete response was achieved in 14% (7/51) of these patients. All patients experienced at least one adverse event, but these were generally manageable. Exploratory analyses showed an association between cytokeratin, V-domain Ig-containing Suppressor of T-cell Activation, CD68, CD169, and cluster 13 fibroblasts and recurrence after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Sintilimab plus DEB-TACE before surgery showed good efficacy and safety in patients with HCC of BCLC stage A exceeding the Milan criteria or BCLC stage B.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the advent of intensive combination regimens, an increasing number of patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer (UPC) have regained the opportunity for surgery. We investigated the clinical benefits and prognostic factors of conversion surgery (CS) in UPC patients. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with UPC who had received CS following first-line systemic treatment in our center between 2014 to 2022. Treatment response, safety of the surgical procedure and clinicopathological data were collected. We analyzed the prognostic factors for postoperative survival among UPC patients who had CS. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients with UPC were enrolled (53 with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and 14 with metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC)). The duration of preoperative systemic treatment was 4.17 months for LAPC patients and 6.52 months for MPC patients. All patients experienced a partial response (PR) or had stable disease (SD) preoperatively according to imaging. Tumor resection was unsuccessful in four patients and, finally, R0 resection was obtained in 81% of cases. Downstaging was determined pathologically in 87% of cases; four patients achieved a complete pathological response. Median postoperative-progression-free survival (PO-PFS) was 9.77 months and postoperative overall survival (PO-OS) was 31.2 months. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the resection margin and postoperative changes in levels of tumor markers were significant prognostic factors for PO-PFS. No factors were associated significantly with PO-OS according to multivariate analyses. CONCLUSIONS CS is a promising strategy for improving the prognosis of UPC patients. The resection margin and postoperative change in levels of tumor markers are the most important prognostic factors for prolonged PFS. Multidisciplinary treatment in high-volume centers is strongly recommended. Prospective studies must be undertaken to resolve the various problems regarding optimal regimens, the duration of treatment, and detailed criteria for CS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) is one of the key bioactive components of the precious Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been used to treat diabetes in China. Ginsenosides have been reported to protect diabetics from tissue damage, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease that occurred frequently among adolescents over the world, its development was related to inflammation and β-cells immunodeficiency. The aim of this study is to explore the biological mechanism of Rg1 on inflammation and autophagy of β-cells in T1D and its therapeutic potential. METHODS The model of T1D mice was established by injecting Streptozotocin (STZ) (55 mg/kg) or citric acids once a day for 5 days and from the fourth day of injection, mice were administered with Rg1 (20 mg/kg) or saline by gavage once a day for 12 days. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunofluorescence, ELISA, quantitative real-time PCR, and Western blot were used to observe the histopathological changes, inflammatory factor levels, and autophagy markers after administration of ginsenoside Rg1. RESULTS Compared to the T1D mice, Rg1 improved the weight (p < 0.05) and blood glucose (p < 0.01) of mice, advanced the injury and apoptosis of β-cells in islets (p < 0.01), and markedly inhibited the protein expression degrees of CD45, CXCL16, ox-LDL, and TF in the pancreas and spleens (p < 0.01), also activated the degrees of insulin in serum (p < 0.01). Besides, in T1D mice' pancreas and spleen, Rg1 markedly repressed the IL-1β, TNF-α, and NOS2 mRNA levels (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01), inhibited the CXCL16, NF-κB, and TF proteins (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01), while elevating the ratio of LC3 II/I (p < 0.01) and P62 (p < 0.05) protein level. CONCLUSIONS This study proved that Rg1 protected mice against T1D possibly by improving islet injury and tissue inflammation, raising serum insulin, and tissue autophagy marker.

Abstract
The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters-g factors gi (i = || and ⊥) and hyperfine structure constants Ai (M) and Ai (N), with M and N belonging to isotopes 63 Cu2+ and 65 Cu2+ -and local structure of Cu2+ ion occupying W6+ site in CaWO4 crystal are theoretically studied based on the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d9 ion under tetragonally elongated tetrahedra. In these formulas, the ligand orbital (LO) and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) contributions are included due to the shorter impurity-ligand distance R (≈1.83 Å) and hence the strong covalency of the studied [CuO4 ]6- cluster, and the related molecular orbital coefficients are quantitatively determined from the cluster approach in a uniform way; meanwhile, the required crystal field (CF) parameters for the tetragonally distorted tetrahedron (TDT) are estimated from the superposition model and the local structure of the impurity Cu2+ center. According to the calculation, the bond angle θ between the four equivalent Cu2+ -O2- bonds and the C4 axis in the CaWO4 :Cu2+ is found to be about 2.1° smaller than that (θ0 ≈ 54.74°) for an ideal tetrahedron due to the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect and the size mismatch. The fitted results agree well with the observed values, and the validity of the present assignment for the local structure of the Cu2+ center is also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main propanaxatriol-type saponin found in ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Mey), ginsenoside Rg1 (G-Rg1), has bioactivities that include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-diabetic properties. This study aimed to investigate the effects of G-Rg1 on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Type 1 Diabetes mellitus (T1DM) mice and the insulin-secreting cell line in RIN-m5F cells with high-glucose (HG) treatment. METHODS The STZ-induced DM mice model was treated with G-Rg1 alone or combined with 3-Methyladenine (3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor)/rapamycin (RAPA, an autophagy activator) for 8 weeks, and levels of glucose and lipid metabolism, histopathological changes, as well as autophagy and apoptosis of relevant markers were estimated. In vitro, the HG-induced RIN-m5F cells were treated with G-Rg1, 3-MA, and Compound C (CC), an AMPK inhibitor, or their combinations to estimate the influences on cell apoptosis, autophagy, and AMPK/mTOR pathway-associated target gene levels. RESULTS G-Rg1 treatment attenuated glucose and lipid metabolism disorder and pancreatic fibrosis in diabetic mice. In addition, subdued autophagy and p-AMPK protein expression, and enhanced p-mTOR protein expression and apoptosis levels in TIDM mice and HG-induced RIN-m5F cells were ameliorated by G-Rg1 treatment. Furthermore, these anti-apoptosis effects of G-Rg1 were partially abolished by 3-MA and CC. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed that G-Rg1 exhibits strong anti-apoptosis ability in pancreatic tissues of type 1 diabetic mice and HG-induced RIN-m5F cells, and the mechanisms involved in activating AMPK and inhibiting mTOR-mediated autophagy, indicating that G-Rg1 may have the therapeutic and preventive potential for treating pancreatic injury in diabetic patients.

Abstract
The reuse of biomass waste is conducive to the recovery of resources and can solve the pollution problem caused by incineration and landfill. For this reason, the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was used to study the pyrolysis of the mushroom sticks (MS) and discarded meal boxes at different heating rates (10 °C·min-1, 20 °C·min-1, 30 °C·min-1). The statistical analysis showed that the factors of pyrolysis temperature and particle size had a greater effect, while the heating rate was significant. The TGA revealed that the maximum weight loss rate of the co-pyrolysis of MS and discarded meal boxes increased with the rise of the heating rate, the temperature at which the pyrolysis started and ended increased, and the thermal weight loss displayed a hysteresis phenomenon. By comparing the theoretical heat weight loss curves with the experimental curves, a synergistic effect of the co-pyrolysis process between MS and discarded meal boxes was demonstrated, and the co-pyrolysis process resulted in a reduction in the solid residue content of the products. The Coats-Redfern method was used to fit the pyrolysis process of MS and discarded meal boxes, which applied the first-order kinetic model to describe the main process of pyrolysis and obtained the reaction activation energy between 43 and 45 kJ·mol-1. The results indicated that co-pyrolysis of MS and discarded meal boxes could decrease the activation energy of the reaction, make the reaction easier, promote the degree of pyrolysis reaction, reduce the generation of pollutants, and provide a theoretical basis for the recycling and energy utilization of MS and discarded meal boxes.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant digestive tract tumour with a poor prognosis. We herein report the case of a 58-year-old female who presented, in June 2019, because of upper abdominal discomfort after eating. Initially, the patient was diagnosed with chronic non-atrophic gastritis with erosion and multiple gastric polyps by gastroscopic examination. Subsequently, CT and MRI examinations revealed that dilatation of the pancreatic duct and low-density nodular shadows enhanced in the neck and body of the pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasonography identified the echo foci in the same position. Additionally, a high-level of CA19-9 in the patient’s serum was noted, which was a tumour marker of pancreatic cancer. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with poorly differentiated pancreatic cancer with squamous carcinoma and plasmacytoid microcystic adenoma.

Abstract
Improving the efficiency of using energy and decreasing impacts on the environment will be an inevitable choice for future development. Based on this direction, three kinds of medium (modified anaerobic digestion wastewater, anaerobic digestion wastewater and a standard growth medium BG11) were used to culture microalgae towards achieving high-quality biodiesel products. The results showed that microalgae culturing with anaerobic digestate wastewater could increase lipid content (21.8%); however, the modified anaerobic digestion wastewater can boost the microalgal biomass production to 0.78 ± 0.01 g/L when compared with (0.35-0.54 g/L) the other two groups. Besides the first step lipid extraction, the elemental composition, thermogravimetric and pyrolysis products of the defatted microalgal residues were also analysed to delve into the utilisation potential of microalgae biomass. Defatted microalgae from modified wastewater by pyrolysis at 650 °C resulted in an increase in the total content of valuable products (39.47%) with no significant difference in the content of toxic compounds compared to other groups. Moreover, the results of the life cycle assessment showed that the environmental impact (388.9 mPET2000) was lower than that of raw wastewater (418.1 mPET2000) and standard medium (497.3 mPET2000)-cultivated groups. Consequently, the method of culturing microalgae in modified wastewater and pyrolyzing algal residues has a potential to increase renewable energy production and reduce environmental impact.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and therapeutic situations of gallbladder neuroendocrine neoplasms (GB-NENs) in the real world via a multicenter, large-scale cohort study. METHODS The study searched for patients in 143 hospitals in China and enrolled 154 patients with GB-NENs diagnosed in 40 hospitals between 2004 and 2021. Clinicopathologic characteristics and therapeutic approaches were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The median age at the initial diagnosis of the patients with GB-NENs was 63 years (range 33-83 years), and 61.7% of the patients were women. Tumor-node-metastasis staging classified 92 patients as stage 3 or above. Based on the 2019 World Health Organization classification, 96 cases (62.3%) were confirmed pathologically as poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas, 13 cases (8.4%) as well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, and 45 cases as mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms. The liver was the most frequent metastatic site. Immunohistochemistry showed that synaptophysin was most frequently positive (80.4%), followed by chromogranin A (61.7%), and CD56 (58.4%). Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed more common clear boundaries (25/39 cases) and invasive growth features (27 cases). None of these cases had an accurate diagnosis before surgery, with a misdiagnosis rate of 100%. Surgical resection is the main treatment, and platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimens were preferred as adjuvant therapies for patients with GB-NENs. The available survival data for 74 patients showed an overall survival rate of 59% at 1 year, 33% at 3 years, and 29% at 5 years. No significant difference was found between the patients treated with and those treated without adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Gallbladder neuroendocrine neoplasms have high malignancy and a poor prognosis. Importantly, this large-scale cohort study significantly improves our understanding of GB-NENs and will benefit the exploration of its mechanism and treatment modes. Further investigation is necessary to explore the management of this disease.

Abstract
Objective Brain atrophy is an important imaging characteristic of cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD). Our study explores the linear measurement application on CT images of CSVD patients and develops a fully automatic brain atrophy classification model. The second aim was to compare it with the end-to-end Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) model. Methods A total of 385 subjects such as 107 no-atrophy brain, 185 mild atrophy, and 93 severe atrophy were collected and randomly separated into training set (n = 308) and test set (n = 77). Key slices for linear measurement were manually identified and used to annotate nine linear measurements and a binary classification of cerebral sulci widening. A linear-measurement-based pipeline (2D model) was constructed for two-types (existence/non-existence brain atrophy) or three-types classification (no/mild atrophy/severe atrophy). For comparison, an end-to-end CNN model (3D-deep learning model) for brain atrophy classification was also developed. Furthermore, age and gender were integrated to the 2D and 3D models. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, average F1 score, receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves for two-type classification and weighed kappa for three-type classification of the two models were compared. Results Automated measurement of linear measurements and cerebral sulci widening achieved moderate to almost perfect agreement with manual annotation. In two-type atrophy classification, area under the curves (AUCs) of the 2D model and 3D model were 0.953 and 0.941 with no significant difference (p = 0.250). The Weighted kappa of the 2D model and 3D model were 0.727 and 0.607 according to standard classification they displayed, mild atrophy and severe atrophy, respectively. Applying patient age and gender information improved classification performances of both 2D and 3D models in two-type and three-type classification of brain atrophy. Conclusion We provide a model composed of different modules that can classify CSVD-related brain atrophy on CT images automatically, using linear measurement. It has similar performance and better interpretability than the end-to-end CNNs model and may prove advantageous in the clinical setting.

Abstract
To assess the treatment effectiveness of vital inflamed pulp therapy (VIPT) in immature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis. The faculty members in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, the Ninth People's Hospital were invited to submit consecutive VIPT cases from June 2015 to June 2016 (follow-up periods>12 months). The cases were retrospectively reviewed, clinical symptoms and radiographic changes in periapical radiolucency were evaluated, meanwhile, the data of radiographic changes such as apical diameter and root length were calculated and analyzed with ANOVA. Totally thirteen submitted patients/cases were included (6 males and 7 females) in the present study,. The average age of patients was (9.9±1.4) years old. The average follow-up time was (26.5±6.8) months (17-37 months). At the 12-month visit, all 13 treated teeth survived, 9 out of 11 teeth with apical periodontitis showed normal radiographic manifestation. At the 3, 6 and 12 months visits, the within-case percentage changes in apical diameter were (8.0±5.1)%, (24.1±9.1)% and (70.3±10.7)%, respectively, while the within-case percentage changes in root length were (11.4±9.8)%, (14.5±9.8)% and (27.4±14.2)%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the changes of apical diameter (F=18.80, P<0.001) and root length (F=4.64, P=0.047) from the preoperative time to the postoperative follow-ups. VIPT might improve clinical outcomes, even achieve continued root development. VIPT can be an option in treating immature teeth with irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prediction models with or without radiomic analysis for microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been reported, but the potential for model-predicted MVI in surgical planning is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore the effect of predicted MVI on early recurrence after anatomic resection (AR) and non-anatomic resection (NAR) to assist surgical strategies. METHODS Patients with a single HCC of 2-5 cm receiving curative resection were enrolled from 2 centers. Their data were used to develop (n = 230) and test (n = 219) two prediction models for MVI using clinical factors and preoperative computed tomography images. The two prediction models, clinico-radiologic model and clinico-radiologic-radiomic (CRR) model (clinico-radiologic variables + radiomic signature), were compared using the Delong test. Early recurrence based on model-predicted high-risk MVI was evaluated between AR (n = 118) and NAR (n = 85) via propensity score matching using patient data from another 2 centers for external validation. RESULTS The CRR model showed higher area under the curve values (0.835-0.864 across development, test, and external validation) but no statistically significant improvement over the clinico-radiologic model (0.796-0.828). After propensity score matching, difference in 2-year recurrence between AR and NAR was found in the CRR model predicted high-risk MVI group (P = 0.005) but not in the clinico-radiologic model predicted high-risk MVI group (P = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS The prediction model incorporating radiomics provided an accurate preoperative estimation of MVI, showing the potential for choosing the more appropriate surgical procedure between AR and NAR.

Abstract
IgA nephropathy is the most common glomerular disease in the world and has become a serious threat to human health. Accurate and non-invasive molecular imaging to detect and recognize the IgA nephropathy is critical for the subsequent timely treatment; otherwise, it may progress to end-stage renal disease and lead to glomerular dysfunction. In this study, we have developed a sensitive, specific, and biocompatible integrin αvβ3-targeted superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) for the noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of integrin αvβ3, which is overexpressed in glomerular mesangial region of IgA nephropathy. The rat model of IgA nephropathy was successfully established and verified by biochemical tests and histological staining. Meanwhile, the clinical 18F-AlF-NOTA-PRGD2 probe molecule was utilized to visualize and further confirmed the IgA nephropathy in vivo via positron emission computed tomography. Subsequently, the Fe3O4 NPs were conjugated with arginine–glycine–aspartic acid (RGD) molecules (Fe3O4-RGD), and their integrin αvβ3-targeted T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) potential has been carefully evaluated. The Fe3O4-RGD demonstrated great relaxation in vivo. The T2WI signal of renal layers in the targeted group at 3 h after intravenous injection of Fe3O4-RGD was distinctly lower than baseline, indicating MRI signal decreased in the established IgA nephropathy rat model. Moreover, the TEM characterization and Prussian blue staining confirmed that the Fe3O4-RGD was located at the region of glomerulus and tubular interstitium. Moreover, no obvious signal decreased was detected in the untargeted Fe3O4 treated and normal groups. Collectively, our results establish the possibility of Fe3O4-RGD serving as a feasible MRI agent for the noninvasive diagnosis of IgA nephropathy.

Abstract
Embryo loss is an important factor affecting fertility in dairy production. HH2 was identified as a haplotype on chromosome 1 associated with embryonic lethality in Holstein cattle. In the current study, both short- and long-read WGS was performed on four carriers and four non-carriers of HH2 to screen for variants in concordance with HH2 haplotype status. Sequence variation analysis revealed five putative functional variants of protein-coding genes, including a frameshift mutation (g.107172616delT) in intraflagellar transport protein 80 (IFT80) gene. Transcriptome analysis of whole blood indicated that no gene exhibited significantly differential expression or allele-specific expression between carriers and non-carriers in the candidate region. This evidence points to g.107172616delT as the highest priority causative mutation for HH2. Protein prediction reveals that the frameshift mutation results in a premature stop codon to reduce the peptide chain from 760 to 383 amino acids and greatly alters the structure and function of IFT80 protein. Our results demonstrate that the use of a combination of multiple high-throughput sequencing technologies is an efficient strategy to screen for the candidate causative mutations responsible for Mendelian traits, including genetic disorders.

Abstract
Supernumerary teats (SNT) are a common epidermal abnormality of udders in mammals. The SNT negatively affect machine milking ability, udder health, and animal welfare and sometimes act as reservoirs for undesirable bacteria, resulting in economic losses on calves and lactating cows due to the cost of SNT removal surgery, early culling, and low milk yield. This study aimed to analyze the incidence and genetic parameter of SNT and detect SNT-related genes in Chinese Holstein cattle. In this study, the incidence of SNT was recorded in 4,670 Chinese Holstein cattle (born between 2008 and 2017) from 2 farms, including 734 genotyped cows with 114,485 SNPs. The SNT had a total frequency of 9.8% and estimated heritability of 0.22 (SE = 0.07), which were obtained using a threshold model in the studied Chinese Holstein population. Furthermore, we calculated approximate genetic correlations between SNT and the following indicator traits: 12 milk production, 28 body conformation, 5 fertility and reproduction, 5 health, and 9 longevity. Generally, the estimated correlations, such as 305-d milk yield for third parity (-0.55; SE = 0.02) and age at first calving in heifer (0.19; SE = 0.03), were low to moderate. A single-step GWAS was implemented, and 10 genes associated with SNT located in BTA4 were identified. The region (112.70-112.90 Mb) on BTA4 showed the highest genetic variance for SNT. The quantitative trait loci on BTA4 was mapped into the RARRES2 gene, which was previously shown to affect adipogenesis and hormone secretion. The WIF1 gene, which was located in BTA5, was also considered as a candidate gene for SNT. Overall, these findings provide useful information for breeders who are interested in reducing SNT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Debate continues about the benefits of preoperative transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to assess the impact of preoperative TACE on long-term outcomes after curative resection for HCC beyond the Milan criteria. METHODS Patients who underwent HCC resection exceeding the Milan criteria without macrovascular invasion between 2015 and 2018 were identified (n = 393). Short- and long-term outcomes were compared between patients who underwent preoperative TACE and patients who did not before and after propensity score matching (PSM). Factors associated with recurrence after resection were analyzed. RESULTS 100 patients (25.4%) underwent preoperative TACE. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were comparable with patients who underwent primary liver resection. 7 patients (7.0%) achieved total necrosis with better RFS compared with patients who had an incomplete response to TACE (P=0.041). PSM created 73 matched patient pairs. In the PSM cohort, preoperative TACE improved RFS (P=0.002) and OS (P=0.003). The maximum preoperatively diagnosed tumor diameter (HR 3.230, 95% CI: 1.116-9.353; P=0.031) and hepatitis B infection (HR 2.905, 95%CI: 1.281-6.589; P=0.011) were independently associated with favorable RFS after HCC resection. CONCLUSION Preoperative TACE made no significant difference to perioperative complications and was correlated with an improved prognosis after surgical resection for patients with HCC beyond the Milan criteria.

Abstract
Objectives To establish and validate a combined radiomics model based on radiomics features and clinical characteristics, and to predict microsatellite instability (MSI) status in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients preoperatively. Methods A total of 368 patients from four hospitals, who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced CT examination, were included in this study. The data of 226 patients from a single hospital were used as the training dataset. The data of 142 patients from the other three hospitals were used as an independent validation dataset. The regions of interest were drawn on the portal venous phase of contrast-enhanced CT images. The filtered radiomics features and clinical characteristics were combined. A total of 15 different discrimination models were constructed based on a feature selection strategy from a pool of 3 feature selection methods and a classifier from a pool of 5 classification algorithms. The generalization capability of each model was evaluated in an external validation set. The model with high area under the curve (AUC) value from the training set and without a significant decrease in the external validation set was final selected. The Brier score (BS) was used to quantify overall performance of the selected model. Results The logistic regression model using the mutual information (MI) dimensionality reduction method was final selected with an AUC value of 0.79 for the training set and 0.73 for the external validation set to predicting MSI. The BS value of the model was 0.12 in the training set and 0.19 in the validation set. Conclusion The established combined radiomics model has the potential to predict MSI status in CRC patients preoperatively.

Abstract
Introduction Hepatic sarcomatoid carcinoma (HSC) is a rare type of liver cancer with a high malignant grade and poor prognosis. This study compared the clinical characteristics and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of HSCs with those of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), aiming to identify valuable features for HSC diagnosis. Methods In total, 17 pathologically confirmed HSC cases, 50 HCC cases and 50 common ICC cases were enrolled from two hospitals. The clinical characteristics and MRI features of all cases were summarized and statistically analyzed. Results On the one hand, the incidence rates of elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were significantly higher in the HSC cases than in the HCC cases (29.4% vs. 0%; 17.6% vs. 0%). The HSC enhancement patterns, primarily including progressive enhancement, were also significantly different from HCC cases. The incidence rates of heterogeneous signals on T2-weighted imaging and during the arterial phase were significantly higher in the HSC cases than in the HCC cases (94.1% vs. 66.0%; 100.0% vs. 72.0%). The diameter of HSCs was significantly larger than that in the HCC cases (6.12 cm vs. 4.21 cm), and the incidence rates of adjacent cholangiectasis, intrahepatic metastasis and lymph node enlargement were considerably higher in the HSC cases than in the HCC cases (52.9% vs. 6.0%; 47.1% vs. 12.0%; 41.2% vs. 2.0%). On the other hand, the incidence rate of elevated CA199 was significantly lower in the HSC cases than in the ICC cases (29.4% vs. 60.0%). The incidence rates of intratumoral necrosis and pseudocapsules were significantly higher in the HSC cases than in the HCC cases (35.3% vs. 8.0%; 47.1% vs. 12.0%). However, the incidence rates of target signs were significantly lower in the HSC cases than in the HCC cases (11.8% vs. 42.0%). In addition, there was no significant difference in the enhancement patterns between HSC cases and ICC cases. Conclusions HSCs were frequently seen in elderly men with clinical symptoms and elevated CA199 levels. The MRI features, including large size, obvious heterogeneity, hemorrhage, progressive enhancement, pseudocapsule and lymph node enlargement, contributed to the diagnosis of HSC.

Abstract
Background:Iguratimod (IGU) has demonstrated efficacy and safety for active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in double-blind clinical trials in China and Japan as a new disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD). There are no studies evaluating the radiographic progression of structural joint damage of IGU for the treatment of RA using the mTSS as the primary endpoint.Objectives:Our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IGU monotherapy and IGU combined methotrexate (MTX) compared with MTX monotherapy, including the inhibitory effects of joint destruction.Methods:This randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, multicenter study in patients with active RA who have not previously used MTX and biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT01548001) was carried out in China. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive IGU 25 mg twice a day (bid), MTX 10mg once a week(qw) for the first 4 weeks and 15 mg once a week(qw) for week 5 to 52, or IGU combined MTX (IGU+MTX) for 52 weeks. The primary endpoints were to assess and compare American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response and the change of modified total Sharp scoring (mTSS) score over 52 weeks (Intention-to-treat, ITT analysis). The non-inferiority test was used to analyze the difference of ACR20 response at 52 weeks between the IGU monotherapy and the MTX monotherapy arms, and the non-inferiority limit value was 10%. The difference test was used for the comparison between the IGU+MTX and MTX monotherapy arms. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference of the changes of mTSS score of each arm compared with baseline value (0 week).Results:A total of 895 patients were randomized to IGU 25mg bid (n =297), MTX 10-15mg qw(n=293), and IGU+MTX (n=305). Baseline characteristics were comparable between the arms (Table 1).Table 1.Demographic and Other Baseline Characteristics (SAS)IGUMTXIGU+MTXNumber of Subjects297293305Age, mean (SD) years46.87(10.67)47.63(10.70)48.37(10.69)Female/male, %77.44/22.5679.18/20.8278.03/21.97Duration of RA, mean(SD) years11.67±7.1611.60±7.9811.67±7.27CRP, mean(SD) mg/L222.32±35.4720.67±26.6119.74±31.38Tender joint count, mean (SD)14.59±9.1614.83±9.3014.93±9.88Swollen joint count, mean (SD)9.81±6.639.73±7.209.51±6.22DAS28-CRP, mean (SD)5.084±0.9945.102±0.9795.103±0.956HAQ score, mean (SD)15.82±11.2515.24±10.9316.06±10.92SAS: Safety Analysis Set; CRP: C-reactive protein;DAS28: disease activity score; HAQ: Health Assessment QuestionnaireThe study met its primary endpoints. More concretely, IGU monotherapy and IGU+MTX were found to be superior to MTX at week 52 with a higher ACR20 response of 77.44%(230/297, P=0.0019) and 77.05%(235/305, P=0.0028) versus 65.87%(193/293) (fig 1). As shown in fig 1, the structural remission (ΔmTSS≤0.5) was statistically significant for IGU monotherapy (57.4%, P=0.0308) but not for IGU+MTX arm (55%) versus MTX monotherapy (47.8%).Overall incidence of the adverse events (AEs) leading to study discontinuation were reported in 13.8% (41/297) in IGU monotherapy arm, 11.26% (33/293) in MTX monotherapy arm and 11.51% (35/305) patients in IGU+MTX arm. The incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADR) leading to study discontinuation were 11.45% (34/297), 8.53% (25/293) and 9.21% (28/305), respectively. There was no one death and no significant difference in all the safety indicators among the three arms.Conclusion:Iguratimod alone or in combination with MTX demonstrated superior efficacy with acceptable safety compared to MTX for patients with active RA who have not previously used MTX bDMARDs.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effect of lumbar discectomy and nerve root canal's enlargement preserving the continuity of supraspinous ligament in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. Methods: The data of patients with lumbar degenerative disease who underwent operation from 2016 to 2018 were analyzed retrospectively, and the patients were divided into two groups according to the different operation. The treatment group (17 cases) was treated with recapping laminoplasty, lumbar discectomy and nerve root canal's enlargement, and the control group (28 cases) was treated with total laminectomy, nerve root canal's enlargement, lumbar discectomy, interbody fusion and internal fixation (PLIF). All patients were followed up for 12 to 27 months (mean 17.8 months). Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores(JOA) and visual analogue scale(VAS) of pain were used to evaluate the clinical effect before and after the operation, lumbar dynamical X-ray and Cobb angle were collecting for imaging evaluation, and the adjacent segment degeneration at the last follow-up was recorded. Results: There was no significant difference in preoperative JOA score, VAS score and Lumbar Cobb angle between the two groups (all P>0.05). The operation time in the treatment group was shorter than that in the control group, and the blood loss during operation in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, the bed rest time of the treatment group after operation was shorter than that in the control group ((79±14) vs (118±17) min, (151±38) vs (324±70) ml and (3.4±0.7) vs (4.3±1.0) d,respectively; t=-8.508, -10.724, -3.244, all P<0.01). In addition, compared with the control group, the volume of postoperative drainage in the treatment group also decreased significantly (t=-5.637, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in JOA score between the two groups 1 year after the operation (P>0.05), but there was significant difference in VAS score between the two groups, the treatment group was better than the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the lumbar Cobb angle in the treatment group increased significantly one year after the operation (55.3°±3.2° vs 38.4°±6.2°, t=10.391, P<0.05). During the follow-up, no loosening or fracture of the implants was found in all patients. Conclusion: Treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases with recapping laminoplasty and nerve root canal's decompression preserving the continuity of supraspinous ligament by ultrasound osteotome has the same clinical effect as PLIF. It has the advantages of shortening operation time, less bleeding, better maintenance of lumbar lordosis after operation and reduction of adjacent segment degeneration.
