Abstract
The development of pig skeletal muscle is a complex dynamic regulation process, which mainly includes the formation of primary and secondary muscle fibers, the remodeling of muscle fibers, and the maturation of skeletal muscle; However, the regulatory mechanism of the entire developmental process remains unclear. This study analyzed the whole-transcriptome data of skeletal muscles at 27 developmental nodes (E33-D180) in Landrace pigs, and their key regulatory factors in the development process were identified using the bioinformatics method. Firstly, we constructed a transcriptome expression map of skeletal muscle development from embryo to adulthood in Landrace pig. Subsequently, due to drastic change in gene expression, the perinatal periods including E105, D0 and D9, were focused, and the genes related to the process of muscle fiber remodeling and volume expansion were revealed. Then, though conjoint analysis with miRNA and lncRNA transcripts, a ceRNA network were identified, which consist of 11 key regulatory genes (such as CHAC1, RTN4IP1 and SESN1), 7 miRNAs and 43 lncRNAs, and they potentially play an important role in the process of muscle fiber differentiation, muscle fiber remodeling and volume expansion, intramuscular fat deposition, and other skeletal muscle developmental events. In summary, we reveal candidate genes and underlying molecular regulatory networks associated with perinatal skeletal muscle fiber type remodeling and expansion. These data provide new insights into the molecular regulation of mammalian skeletal muscle development and diversity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In metastatic urethral cancer, temporal trends, and patterns of inpatient palliative care (IPC) use are unknown. METHODS Relying on the National Inpatient Sample (2006-2019), metastatic urethral cancer patients were stratified according to IPC use. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) analyses and multivariable logistic regression models (LRM) for the prediction of IPC use were fitted. RESULTS Of 1,106 metastatic urethral cancer patients, 199 (18%) received IPC. IPC use increased from 5.8 to 28.0% over time in the overall cohort (EAPC +9.8%; P < 0.001), from <12.5 to 35.1% (EAPC +11.2%; P < 0.001), and from <12.5 to 24.7% (EAPC +9.4%; P = 0.01) in respectively females and males. Lowest IPC rates were recorded in the Midwest (13.5%) vs. highest in the South (22.5%). IPC patients were more frequently female (44 vs. 37%), and more frequently exhibited bone metastases (45 vs. 34%). In multivariable LRM, female sex (multivariable odds ratio [OR] 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-2.02; P = 0.02), and bone metastases (OR 1.46, 95%CI 1.02-2.10; P = 0.04) independently predicted higher IPC rates. Conversely, hospitalization in the Midwest (OR 0.53, 95%CI 0.31-0.91; P = 0.02), and in the Northeast (OR 0.48, 95%CI 0.28-0.82; P = 0.01) were both associated with lower IPC use than hospitalization in the West. CONCLUSION IPC use in metastatic urethral cancer increased from a marginal rate of 5.8% to as high as 28%. Ideally, differences according to sex, metastatic site, and region should be addressed to improve IPC use rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2021, the International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group (IGCCCG) Update Consortium reported improved overall survival (OS) rates in a modern cohort of metastatic non-seminoma testis cancer patients within each of the IGCCCG prognosis groups (96% in good vs. 89% in intermediate vs. 67% in poor), compared to the previous IGCCCG publication (92% in good vs. 80% in intermediate vs. 48% in poor). We hypothesized that a similar survival improvement may apply to a contemporary North-American population-based cohort of non-seminoma testis cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2010-2018) was used. Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression models tested the effect of IGCCCG prognosis groups on overall mortality (OM). RESULTS Of 1672 surgically treated metastatic non-seminoma patients, 778 (47%) exhibited good vs. 251 (15%) intermediate vs. 643 (38%) poor prognosis. In the overall cohort, five-year OS rate was 94% for good prognosis vs. 87% for intermediate prognosis vs. 65% for poor prognosis. In multivariable Cox regression models predicting OM, intermediate (Hazard ratio [HR] 2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-3.9, P < 0.001) and poor prognosis group (HR 6.6, 95% CI 1.0-1.0, P < 0.001) were independent predictors of higher OM, relative to good prognosis group. CONCLUSIONS The survival improvement reported by the IGCCCG Update Consortium is also operational in non-seminoma testis cancer patients within the most contemporary SEER database. This observation indicates that the survival improvement is not only applicable to centres of excellence, but also applies to other institutions at large.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unmarried status has been associated with advanced stage at presentation and lower treatment dose intensification rates in several urological and non-urological malignancies. However, no previous investigators focused of the association of unmarried status with locally advanced stage (T3-4N0-2) at presentation and lower bi-/trimodal therapy rates in primary urethral carcinoma (PUC) patients. To address these knowledge gaps, we relied on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. METHODS Within the SEER database 2000 to 2020, all non-metastatic PUC patients were identified. Logistic regression models (LRMs) tested for differences in stage at presentation and treatment modality in the overall cohort and then in a sex-specific fashion, according to marital status (married vs unmarried). RESULTS Of all 1,430 non-metastatic PUC patients, 1,004 (70%) were male vs 426 (30%) were female. Of 1,004 male PUC patients, 272 (27%) were unmarried. Of all 426 female PUC patients, 239 (56%) were unmarried. In multivariable LRMs predicting T3-4N0-2, unmarried status was independently associated with an increased risk of locally advanced stage at presentation in the overall cohort (odds ratio [OR]:1.31; P = 0.03) and in female patients (OR:1.62; P = 0.02), but not in male PUC patients (P = 0.6). In multivariable LRMs predicting bi-/trimodal therapy, unmarried status was an independent predictor of lower bi-/trimodal therapy rates in the overall cohort (OR:0.73; P = 0.02) and in male patients (OR:0.60; P = 0.007), but not in female PUC patients (P = 0.6). CONCLUSIONS Unmarried female PUC patients more likely harbored locally advanced stage at presentation. Conversely, unmarried male PUC patients are less likely to benefit from bi-/trimodal therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether regional differences in patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients exist and may potentially result in regional overall mortality (OM) differences. We tested for inter-regional differences, according to Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries. METHODS Using SEER database 2000 to 2016, patient (age, sex, race/ethnicity), tumor (location, grade) and treatment (nephroureterectomy, systemic therapy [ST]) characteristics of UTUC patients of all-stages were tabulated and graphically depicted in a stage-specific fashion (T1-2N0M0 vs. T3-4N0M0 vs. TanyN1-2M0/TanyNanyM1). Multivariable Cox regression (MCR) models tested for inter-regional differences in OM. RESULTS Regarding T1-2N0M0 patients, statistically significant differences existed for race/ethnicity (Caucasian 71 vs. 98%), location (renal pelvis: 55 vs. 67%), grade (high 60 vs. 83%) and ST (5.5 vs. 13.9%). In MCR models, registries 3 (Hazard ratio [HR]:1.39; P < 0.001) and 4 (HR:1.31; P = 0.01) independently predicted higher OM and Registry 8 (HR:0.64; P = 0.001) lower OM. Regarding T3-4N0M0 patients, statistically significant differences existed for race/ethnicity (Caucasian 70 vs. 98%), location (renal pelvis: 67 vs. 76%), grade (high 84 vs. 94%) and ST (18.7 vs. 29.5%). In MCR models, registries 3 (HR:1.42; P < 0.001) and 4 (HR:1.31; P = 0.009) independently predicted higher OM. Regarding TanyN1-2M0/TanyNanyM1 patients, statistically significant differences existed for location (renal pelvis: 63 vs. 82%), grade (high 92 vs. 98%) and ST (53.4 vs. 58.8%). In MCR models, Registry 3 (HR:1.37; P = 0.004) independently predicted higher OM and Registry 2, (HR:0.78; P = 0.02) lower OM. CONCLUSIONS Inter-regional differences were recorded in patients, tumor, and treatment characteristics. Even after adjustment for these characteristics, OM differences persisted which may be indicative of regional differences in quality of care or expertise in UTUC management.

Abstract
Phytophthora sojae, one of the most devastating Oomycete pathogens, causes severe diseases that lead to economic loss in the soybean industry. The production of zoospores play a crucial role during the development of Phytophthora disease. In this work, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology were used to obtain protein kinase A regulatory subunit (PsPkaR) knockout mutants. The role of PsPkaR in the production of zoospores and pathogenicity of P. sojae was analyzed. The overall findings indicate that PsPkaR is involved in regulating the growth process of P. sojae, primarily affecting the hyphal morphology and growth rate. Additionally, PsPkaR participates in the regulation of the release process of zoospores. Specifically, knocking-out PsPkaR resulted in incomplete cytoplasmic differentiation and uneven protoplast division, leading to abnormal release of zoospores. Furthermore, when the PsPkaR knockout mutants were inoculated on soybean leaves, the pathogenicity was significantly reduced compared to that of the wild-type and control strains. These findings of this study provide important clues and evidence regarding the role of the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway in the interaction between P. sojae and its host. This work contributes to a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanism of P. sojae and the development of corresponding prevention and control strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The cT1a vs. cT1b substratification was introduced in 1992 but never formally tested since. We tested the discriminative ability of cT1a vs. cT1b substaging on cancer-specific survival (CSS) in contemporary incidental prostate cancer (PCa) patients. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Incidental (cT1a/cT1b) PCa patients were identified within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2015). OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Kaplan-Meier estimates, as well as uni- and multivariable Cox regression models predicted CSS at five years. Subgroup analyses addressed CSS at five years according to active vs. no local treatment (NLT) as well as Gleason score sum (GS; 6 vs. 7 vs. ≥ 8). RESULTS AND LIMITATION We identified a total of 5,155 incidental prostate cancer patients of which 3,035 (59%) were stage cT1a vs. 2,120 (41%) were stage cT1b. In all incidental PCa patients, CSS at five years was 95% (95% CI 0.94-0.96). In cT1a patients, CSS at five years was 98 vs. 90% in cT1b patients (p < 0.001). In multivariable Cox regression analyses, cT1b independently predicted 2.8-fold higher CSM than cT1a (HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.8-3.6, p < 0.001) for incidental PCa patients who underwent NLT. In subgroup analyses, cT1b represented an independent predictor of higher CSM in GS ≥ 8 (HR 3.0, 95% CI 1.4-6.2, p = 0.003), and GS 7 (HR 3.9, 95% CI 1.6-9.7 p = 0.002) patients who underwent NLT. For actively treated patients, cT1b was not independently associated with worse CSM. CONCLUSION The historical subclassification of cT1a vs. cT1b in incidental PCa patients displayed a strong ability to discriminate CSS in contemporary GS 7 and GS ≥ 8 patients who underwent NLT. However, no statistically significant difference was recorded in actively treated patients. In consequence, the importance of the current substage stratification predominantly applies to GS ≥ 8 patients who undergo a non-active treatment approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 15% of patients with locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) harbors tumor thrombus (TT). In those cases, radical nephrectomy (RN) and thrombectomy represents the standard of care. We assessed the impact of TT on long-term functional and oncological outcomes in a large contemporary cohort. METHODS Within a prospective maintained database, 1207 patients undergoing RN for non-metastatic RCC between 2000 and 2021 at a single tertiary centre were identified. Of these, 172 (14%) harbored TT. Multivariable logistic regression analyses evaluated the impact of TT on the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Multivariable Poisson regression analyses estimated the risk of long-term chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kaplan Meier plots estimated disease-free survival and cancer specific survival. Multivariable Cox regression models assessed the main predictors of clinical progression (CP) and cancer specific mortality (CSM). RESULTS Patients with TT showed lower BMI (24 vs. 26 kg/m2) and preoperative Hb (11 vs. 14 g/mL; all-p < 0.05). Clinical tumor size was higher in patients with TT (9.6 vs. 6.5 cm; p < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, the presence of TT was significantly associated with a higher risk of postoperative AKI (OR 2.03, 95% CI 1.49-3.6; p < 0.001) and long-term CKD (OR: 1.32, 95% CI 1.10-1.58; p < 0.01). Notably, patients with TT showed worse long-term oncological outcomes and TT was a predictor for CP (2.02, CI 95% 1.49-2.73, p < 0.001) and CSM (HR 1.61, CI 95% 1.04-2.49, p < 0.03). CONCLUSIONS The presence of TT in RCC patients represents a key risk factor for worse perioperative, as well as long-term renal function. Specifically, patients with TT harbor a significant and early estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decrease. However, despite TT patients show a greater eGFR decline after surgery, they retain acceptable renal function, which remains stable over time.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk factors and long-term prognosis of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Methods: This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Clinical information from 300 patients with DCM hospitalized in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2013 to April 2023 was collected. Based on echocardiography results, the patients were divided into two groups: isolated DCM and DCM with left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC). The MACEs, including major heart failure events, severe ventricular arrhythmias, and cardiovascular death, were recorded by outpatient or telephone follow-up. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with DCM. Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank were used for survival analysis to compare the difference in the incidence of cardiovascular events between the two groups. Results: The included 300 DCM patients were (47.8±16.8) years old, with 197 males (65.7%), of which 237 (79.0%) were isolated DCM and 63 (21.0%) were DCM with LVNC. The follow-up time was 4.0 (1.9, 6.2) years. A total of 142 (47.3%) MACEs occurred, including 117 (39.0%) major heart failure events, 20 (6.7%) severe ventricular arrhythmia events, and 53 (17.7%) cardiovascular death events. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (HR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.01-1.44, P=0.042), moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (HR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.19-2.47, P=0.004), increased ln (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) (HR=1.30, 95%CI: 1.10-1.54, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for dverse cardiovascular events in DCM patients, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)/angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) treatment (HR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.26-0.78, P=0.004) was independent protective factor. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis found no significant difference in the risk of MACEs between isolated DCM and DCM with LVNC (P=0.22). Similarly, there were no significant differences in the incidence of major heart failure, severe ventricular arrhythmia, and cardiovascular death between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: An increase in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, moderate or severe mitral regurgitation, elevated N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, and non use of ACEI/ARB/ARNI are independent predictors of cardiovascular events in DCM patients. There was no significant risk of MACEs in patients with isolated DCM and DCM with LVNC, and suggested that LVNC may be a unique phenotype and should be accurately managed in combination with genetic background.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unmarried status has been associated with higher proportions of locally advanced stage and lower treatment dose intensification rates in several urological and non-urological malignancies. However, no previous investigators focused on the association between unmarried status and advanced stage (T3-4N0-2) at presentation and lower nephroureterectomy (RNU) and systemic therapy (ST) rates in non-metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database 2000-2020, all non-metastatic UTUC patients were identified. Multivariable logistic regression models (LRMs) tested for differences in stage at presentation and treatment (RNU and ST) according to marital status (married vs unmarried), in a sex-specific fashion. RESULTS Of all 8544 non-metastatic UTUC patients, 4748 (56%) were male vs 3190 (44%) were female. Of all 4748 male UTUC patients, 1191 (25%) were unmarried. Of all 3190 female UTUC patients, 1608 (50%) were unmarried. In multivariable LRMs predicting RNU, unmarried status was an independent predictor of lower RNU rates in male (Odds Ratio [OR]: 0.56; P < .001), but not in female (OR: 0.81; P = .1) non-metastatic UTUC patients. In multivariable LRMs predicting ST exposure, unmarried status was an independent predictor of lower ST rates in both male (OR:0.73; P = .03) and female (OR:0.64; P < .001) UTUC patients. In multivariable LRMs predicting locally advanced stage (T3-4N0-2), unmarried status was not associated with an increased risk of locally advanced stage at presentation in either male (OR: 0.95; P = .5) or female (OR: 0.99; P = .9) UTUC patients. CONCLUSIONS Unmarried male UTUC patients appear at risk of less being able to access RNU, relative to their married counterparts. Moreover, unmarried UTUC patients appear to less benefit from ST, regardless of sex. Conversely, unmarried status was not associated with an increased risk of locally advanced stage at presentation in either male or female UTUC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The role of lymphadenectomy and the optimal lymph node count (LNC) cut-off in nonmetastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (nmACC) are unclear. METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, surgically treated nmACC patients with T2-4 stages were identified between 2004 and 2020. We tested for cancer-specific mortality (CSM) differences according to pathological N-stage (pN0 vs. pN1) and two previously recommended LNC cut-offs (≥4 vs. ≥5) were tested in pN0 and subsequently in pN1 subgroups in Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression models. RESULTS Of 710 surgically treated nmACC patients, 185 (26%) underwent lymphadenectomy and were assessable for further analyses based on available LNC data. Of 185 assessable patients, 152 (82%) were pN0 and 33 (18%) were pN1. In Kaplan-Meier analyses, CSM-free survival was 74 vs. 14 months (Δ 60 months, P ≤ 0.001) in pN0 vs. pN1 patients, respectively. In multivariable analyses, pN1 was an independent predictor of higher CSM (HR:3.13, P < 0.001). In sensitivity analyses addressing pN0, LNC cut-off of ≥4 was associated with lower CSM (multivariable hazard ratio [HR]: 0.52; P = 0.002). In sensitivity analyses addressing pN0, no difference was recorded when a LNC cut-off of ≥5 was used (HR:0.60, P = 0.09). In pN1 patients, neither of the cut-offs (≥4 and ≥5) resulted in a statistically significant stratification of CSM rate, and neither reached independent predictor status (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Lymphadenectomy provides a prognostic benefit in nmACC patients and identifies pN1 patients with dismal prognosis. Conversely, in pN0 patients, a LNC cut-off ≥4 identifies those with particularly favorable prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the effect of disease-free interval (DFI) duration on cancer-specific mortality (CSM)-free survival, otherwise known as the effect of conditional survival, in radical urethrectomy nonmetastatic primary urethral carcinoma (PUC) patients. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database 2000-2020, patient (age, sex, race/ethnicity, and marital status) and tumor (stage and histology) characteristics, as well as systemic therapy exposure status of nonmetastatic PUC patients were tabulated. Conditional survival estimates at 5-year were assessed based on DFI duration and according to stage at presentation (T1 -2N0 vs. T3-4N0-2). RESULTS Of all 512 radical urethrectomy PUC patients, 278 (54%) harbored T1-2N0 stage versus 234 (46%) harbored T3-4N0-2 stage. In 512 PUC patients, 5-year CSM-free survival at initial diagnosis was 61.8%. Provided a DFI duration of 36 months, 5-year CSM-free survival was 85.6%. In 278 T1-2N0 PUC patients, 5-year CSM-free survival at initial diagnosis was 68.4%. Provided a DFI duration of 36 months, 5-year CSM-free survival was 86.9%. In 234 T3-4N0-2 PUC patients, 5-year CSM-free survival at initial diagnosis was 53.8%. Provided a DFI duration of 36 months, 5-year CSM-free survival was 83.6%. CONCLUSIONS Although intuitively, clinicians and patients are well aware of the concept that increasing DFI duration improves survival probability, only a few clinicians can accurately estimate the magnitude of survival improvement, as was done within the current study. Such information is crucial to survivors, especially in those diagnosed with rare malignancies, where the survival estimation according to DFI duration is even more challenging.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In soft tissue pelvic liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, it is unknown whether a specific tumor size cut-off may help to better predict prognosis, defined as cancer-specific survival (CSS). We tested whether different tumor size cut-offs, could improve CSS prediction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Surgically treated non-metastatic soft tissue pelvic sarcoma patients were identified (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 2004-2019). Kaplan-Meier plots, univariable and multivariable Cox-regression models and receiver operating characteristic-derived area under the curve (AUC) estimates were used. RESULTS Overall, 672 (65 %) liposarcoma (median tumor size 11 cm, interquartile range [IQR] 7-16) and 367 (35 %) leiomyosarcoma (median tumor size 8 cm, IQR 5-12) patients were identified. The p-value derived ideal tumor size cut-off was 17.1 cm, in liposarcoma and 7.0 cm, in leiomyosarcoma. In liposarcoma, according to p-value derived cut-off, five-year CSS rates were 92 vs 83 % (≤17.1 vs > 17.1 cm). This cut-off represented an independent predictor of CSS and improved prognostic ability from 83.8 to 86.8 % (Δ = 3 %). Similarly, among previously established cut-offs (5 vs 10 vs 15 cm), also 15 cm represented an independent predictor of CSS and improved prognostic ability from 83.8 to 87.0 % (Δ = 3.2 %). In leiomyosarcoma, according to p-value derived cut-off, five-year CSS rates were 86 vs 55 % (≤7.0 vs > 7.0 cm). This cut-off represented an independent predictor of CSS and improved prognostic ability from 68.6 to 76.5 % (Δ = 7.9 %). CONCLUSIONS In liposarcoma, the p-value derived tumor size cut-off was 17.1 cm vs 7.0 cm, in leiomyosarcoma. In both histologic subtypes, these cut-offs exhibited the optimal statistical characteristics (univariable, multivariable and AUC analyses). In liposarcoma, the 15 cm cut-off represented a valuable alternative.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of lumbar paraspinal muscle degeneration and postoperative failure to restore ideal Roussouly classification on the occurrence of mechanical complications (MC) following long-segment spinal correction surgery in female patients with degenerative scoliosis (DS). Methods: The clinical data of 72 female DS patients who underwent long-segment spinal correction surgery in Gulou Hospital from June 2017 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether restoring the ideal Roussouly classification after surgery, the patients were divided into R group(recovery group) (n=51) and N group(non-recovery group) (n=21). According to whether mechanical complications occurred after operation within two years, the patients were divided into MC (mechanical complications)group (n=24) and NMC(non-mechanical complications) group (n=48). The RM group (n=14) experienced mechanical complications in the R group, while the RN group (n=37) did not. The NM group (n=10) experienced mechanical complications in the N group, while the NN group (n=11) did not.Radiographic assessment included Sagittal parameters of spine and pelvis, standardized cross-sectional area (SCSA) and fat infiltration rate (FI%) of paraspinal muscle at each lumbar disc level. Results: The age of DS patients in this study was (61.4±6.2) years.The incidence of MC was 33.33%(n=24)in all patients. The incidence of MC was 27.45%(n=14)in group R and 47.62%(n=10) in group N. The correction amount of pelvic tilt angle (PT) (-11.62°±10.06° vs -7.04°±8.45°, P=0.046) and T1 pelvic angle(TPA)(-12.88°±11.23° vs -7.31°±9.55°, P=0.031)during surgery were significantly higher in MC group compared to the NMC group. In group R, the FI% of paraspinal muscles in each lumbar segment of patients with postoperative MC was higher than that in patients without MC (P<0.05). In the R and N groups, there was no significant difference inthe SCSA of the lumbar paravertebral muscles between patients with postoperative MC and those without MC at each level (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the average FI% of lumbar PSM was correlated with the occurrence of MC after spinal fusion in DS patients.The average FI% of lumbar PSM≥22.63% was a risk factors for MC after spinal fusion (P=0.010,OR=1.088, 95%CI:1.020-1.160). Conclusions: Female DS patients with higher degree of preoperative paraspinal muscle degeneration have a higher incidence of postoperative mechanical complications. For these patients,.there is still a higher risk of mechanical complications after surgery even if the ideal Roussouly classification is restored after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To test the prognostic significance of radiographic cN-stage in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients with low metastatic burden (1 site of metastasis), relying on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER 2010-2020). METHODS Included were mRCC patients with 1 site of metastasis, treated with systemic therapy without cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN). Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox-regression models addressed cancer-specific mortality (CSM) according to radiographic cN-stage (ccN1 vs. ccN0). Separate subgroup analyses were performed, addressing radiographic N-stage in patients with distinct histology (clear-cell vs. RCC not otherwise specified [RCC NOS]). RESULTS Of 1756 mRCC patients, 545 (31%) were radiographic cN1. Overall, the median CSM-free survival of the cohort was 11 months. Median CSM-free survival was 8 vs. 14 months in radiographic cN1 vs. cN0 mRCC patients (HR 1.49, P < .0001). In multivariable Cox regression analyses, radiographic cN1 status was an independent predictor of higher CSM (HR 1.39; P = .01). In subgroup analyses, addressing patients with clear-cell histology and patients with RCC NOS separately, radiographic cN1 status remained independently associated with a higher CSM in both groups (clear-cell: HR 1.36; P = .03; RCC NOS: HR 2.06; P = .009). CONCLUSION In mRCC patients with low metastatic burden, presence or absence of radiographic lymph node invasion results in a clinically meaningful discrimination between those with poor prognosis and others. In consequence, consideration of radiographic lymph node invasion might be of great value in this specific population of mRCC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is unknown whether the benefit from partial nephrectomy regarding lower other-cause mortality is applicable to older patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database, patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, undergoing partial or radical nephrectomy, were stratified according to age (<60, 60-69, and ≥70 years). After propensity score matching, Kaplan-Meier survival analyses and multivariable Cox regression models were used. RESULTS Of 2,390 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, 885 (37%) were aged <60 years, and 90 (10%) underwent partial nephrectomy; 824 (34%) were aged 60-69 years, and 61 (7%) underwent partial nephrectomy; and 681 (29%) were aged ≥70 years, and 64 (9%) underwent partial nephrectomy. After propensity score matching, in patients aged <60 years, partial nephrectomy was associated with lower other-cause mortality (hazard ratio 0.22; p = 0.02); in patients aged 60-69 years, partial nephrectomy was associated with lower other-cause mortality (hazard ratio 0.38; p = 0.03); but not in patients aged ≥70 years. DISCUSSION In metastatic renal cell carcinoma, partial nephrectomy is associated with lower other-cause mortality in patients aged <60 years and in patients aged 60-69 years, but not in patients aged ≥70 years. In consequence, consideration of partial nephrectomy might be of great value in younger metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The association between treatment rates and cancer specific mortality (CSM) according to married status in male and female clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients across all stages is unknown. PATIENT AND METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2020), ccRCC patients were stratified according to married status (married vs. unmarried). Logistic regression models addressed treatment rates; Cox regression models addressed CSM rates. RESULTS Of 98,142 patients, 43,999 (72%) males and 20,287 (55%) females were married. In stage-specific analyses, married status independently predicted higher nephrectomy rates in males and females (all P ≤ .03). In stage IV, married status predicted higher systemic therapy rate in males (P < .001), but not in females. In survival analyses, married males exhibited lower CSM rates relative to unmarried males (all P ≤ .02). Conversely, married females exhibited lower CSM rates only in stages I and III (all P ≤ .02), but not in stages II and IV. In subgroup analyses of T1aN0M0 patients, married status was associated with higher partial nephrectomy rates in both males and females (all P ≤ .005). CONCLUSION In ccRCC, married status invariably predicts higher rates of guideline recommended surgical management (nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy). Moreover, even after adjustment for treatment type, married status independently predicted lower CSM rates in males across all stages. However, the effect of married status in females is only operational in stages I and III. Lack of association between married status in stages II and IV may potentially be explained by stronger association with treatment assignment which reduces the residual effect on survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of treatment intensification (systemic therapy [ST] + cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) vs. ST alone) is unknown regarding rates of other-cause mortality (OCM) in clear-cell metastatic renal cell carcinoma (ccmRCC). We hypothesized that intensified treatment (ST + CN) may result in higher OCM, than when ST is used alone. METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, all ccmRCC patients treated 2010-2018 either with ST + CN or ST alone were identified. Propensity score matching (PSM), cumulative incidence plots, multivariable competing risks regression analyses and 6 months' landmark analyses addressed OCM and cancer-specific mortality (CSM) according to treatment status. RESULTS Of 2271 ccmRCC patients, 1233 (54%) were treated with ST + CN vs 1038 (46%) with ST alone. After 1:1 PSM, OCM was 5.3 vs. 4.6 % (P = .5) and CSM was 73.4 vs. 88.4% (P < .001) in ST + CN vs. ST alone patients. In multivariable competing risks regression, the combination of ST and CN was not associated with higher OCM (HR 1.3; 95% CI 0.8-2.1; P = .4), vs. ST alone. However, the combination of ST and CN was independently associated with lower CSM (HR 0.5; 95% CI 0.5-0.6; P < .001), vs. ST alone. After 6 months' landmark analyses, these multivariable associations remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS The current study indicates no OCM-disadvantage in ST + CN ccmRCC patients, relative to their ST alone counterparts. Conversely, a strong association with lower CSM was recorded in ST + CN patients, relative to their ST alone counterparts. These associations are robust and remained unchanged after strictest statistical adjustment including control for immortal time bias.

Abstract
We developed a novel contemporary population-based model for predicting cancer-specific survival (CSS) in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) patients and compared it with the established 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system (AJCC). Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2020), we identified 1056 ACC patients. Univariable Cox regression model addressed CSS. Harrell's concordance index (C-index) quantified accuracy after 2000 bootstrap resamples for internal validation. The multivariable Cox regression model included the most informative, statistically significant predictors. Calibration and decision curve analyses (DCAs) tested the multivariable model as well as AJCC in head-to-head comparisons. Age at diagnosis (>60 vs ≤60 years), surgery, T, N, and M stages were included in the multivariable model. Multivariable model C-index for 3-year CSS prediction was 0.795 vs 0.757 for AJCC. Multivariable model outperformed AJCC in DCAs for the majority of possible CSS-predicted values. Both models exhibited similar calibration properties. Finally, the range of the multivariable model CSS predicted probabilities raged 0.02-75.3% versus only four single AJCC values, specifically 73.2% for stage I, 69.7% for stage II, 46.6% for stage III, and 15.5% for stage IV. The greatest benefit of the multivariable model-generated CSS probabilities applied to AJCC stage I and II patients. The multivariable model was more accurate than AJCC staging when CSS predictions represented the endpoint. Additionally, the multivariable model outperformed AJCC in DCAs. Finally, the AJCC appeared to lag behind the multivariable model when discrimination addressed AJCC stage I and II patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is unknown whether specific locations of visceral metastatic sites affect overall survival (OS) of metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) patients. We tested the association between specific locations of visceral metastatic sites and OS in mPCa patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Within Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2010-2016), survival analyses relied on specific locations of visceral metastases: lung only vs. liver only vs. brain only vs. ≥2 visceral sites. Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression models were fitted. RESULTS Of 1827 patients, 1044 (57%) harbored lung only visceral metastases vs. 457 (25%) liver only vs. 131 (7%) brain only vs. 195 (11%) ≥2 visceral sites. Median OS was 22 months in all patients vs. 33 months in lung only vs. 15 months in liver only vs. 16 months in brain only vs. 15 months in patients with ≥2 visceral sites. Highest OS was recorded in lung only visceral metastases patients, especially when concomitant nonvisceral metastases were located in lymph nodes only (median OS 57 months) vs. bone only (26 months) vs. lymph nodes and bone (28 months). Liver only, brain only or ≥2 visceral sites exhibited poor OS, regardless of concomitant nonvisceral metastases type (median OS from 13 to 19 months). CONCLUSION In mPCa patients, lung only visceral metastases, especially when associated with lymph node only nonvisceral metastases, portend the best prognosis. Conversely, visceral metastatic sites other than lung portend poor prognosis, regardless of concomitant nonvisceral metastases type.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We tested the association between other-cause mortality and partial vs. radical nephrectomy in patients with T1a, T1b, and T2 renal cell carcinoma, across all patient ages. MATERIAL AND METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2010-2020), patients with localized renal cell carcinoma stages (T1a-T1b-T2, N0, M0), who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy were identified. Only patients with tumor size 2 to 10 cm were included. Cumulative incidence plots and multivariable competing risks regression models were used. RESULTS Of 68,195 patients, 28,845 (42%) underwent partial nephrectomy vs. 39,350 (58%) radical nephrectomy. In T1a patients, 5-year other-cause mortality rates were 6% for partial nephrectomy vs. 11% for radical nephrectomy (Δ=5%). In T1a patients, partial nephrectomy independently predicted lower other-cause mortality, across all ages (HR: 0.73, P < .001). In age category subgroup analyses addressing T1a patients, in all age categories, partial nephrectomy invariably predicted lower other-cause mortality than radical nephrectomy: ≤59 years (HR: 0.67, P < .001); 60 to 69 years (HR: 0.70, P < .001); and ≥70 years (HR: 0.79, P < .001). Finally, in T1b patients, as well as in T2 patients, no other-cause mortality advantage was recorded for partial vs. radical nephrectomy: T1b (8 vs. 10%, Δ=2%); T2 (8 vs. 9%, Δ=1%). CONCLUSIONS Relative to radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy is associated with lower other-cause mortality in stage T1a renal cell carcinoma patients across all age categories, including the oldest patients. Conversely, no clinically meaningful other-cause mortality benefit was associated with partial nephrectomy in stages T1b or T2, regardless of age, including youngest patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Historic evidence suggests that non-Caucasian race/ethnicity predisposes to higher testis cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in non-seminoma. However, it is unknown, whether higher CSM in non-Caucasians applies to Hispanics or Asians or African-Americans, or all of the above groups. In contemporary patients, we tested whether CSM is higher in these select non-Caucasian groups than in Caucasians, in overall and in stage-specific comparisons: stage I vs. stage II vs. stage III. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004 -2019) was used. Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression models tested the effect of race/ethnicity on CSM after stratification for stage (I vs. II vs. III) and adjustment for prognosis groups in stage III. RESULTS In all 13,515 non-seminoma patients, CSM in non-Caucasians was invariably higher than in Caucasians. In stage-specific analyses, race/ethnicity represented an independent predictor of CSM in Hispanics in stage I (HR 1.8, p = 0.004), stage II (HR 2.2, p = 0.007) and stage III (HR 1.4, p < 0.001); in African-Americans in stage I (HR 3.2; p = 0.007) and stage III (HR 1.5; p = 0.042); and in Asians in only stage III (HR 1.6, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In general, CSM is higher in non-Caucasian non-seminoma patients. However, the CSM increase differs according to non-Caucasian race/ethnicity groups. Specifically, higher CSM applies to all stages of non-seminoma in Hispanics, to stages I and III in African-Americans and only to stage III in Asians. These differences are important for individual patient management, as well as for design of prospective trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess in-hospital mortality and complication rates after radical cystectomy (RC) in patients with history of heart-valve replacement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the National Inpatient Sample (2000-2019), non-metastatic bladder cancer patients undergoing RC were stratified according to history of heart-valve replacement. Regression models (RM) predicted hospital outcomes. RESULTS Of 25,535 RC patients, 250 (1.0%) harbored history of heart-valve replacement. Heart-valve replacement patients were older (median 74 vs. 70 years), more frequently male (87.2 vs. 80.6%), and more frequently had Charlson comorbidity index ≥3 (26.8 vs. 18.9%). In RC patients with history of heart-valve replacement vs. others, 62 vs. 2634 (24.8 vs. 10.4%) experienced cardiac complications, 28 vs. 3092 (11.2 vs. 12.2%) intraoperative complications, 11 vs. 1046 (4.4 vs. 4.1%) infections, <11 vs. 594 (<4.4 vs. 2.3%) perioperative bleeding, <11 vs. 699 (<4.4 vs. 2.8%) vascular complications, 74 vs. 6225 (29.6 vs. 24.7%) received blood transfusions, 37 vs. 3054 (14.8 vs. 12.1%) critical care therapy (CCT), and in-hospital mortality was recorded in <11 vs. 463 (<4.4 vs. 1.8%) patients. In multivariable RM, history of heart-valve replacement independently predicted cardiac complications (odds ratio 2.20, 95% confidence interval 1.62-2.99; p < 0.001). Conversely, no statically significant association was recorded between history of heart-valve replacement and length of stay, estimated hospital cost, intraoperative complications, perioperative bleeding, vascular complications, infections, blood transfusions, CCT use, and in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Radical cystectomy patients with history of heart-valve replacement exhibited a 2.2-fold higher risk of cardiac complications, but no other complications, including no significantly higher in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trimodal therapy is considered the most validated bladder-sparing treatment in patients with organ-confined urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (T2N0M0). However, scarce evidence exists regarding cancer-specific mortality (CSM) differences between trimodal therapy and other non-extirpative multimodal treatment options such as radiotherapy alone after transurethral resection (TURBT + RT) or chemotherapy alone after transurethral resection (TURBT + CT). METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2020), we identified T2N0M0 patients treated with either trimodal therapy, TURBT + CT, or TURBT + RT. Temporal trends described trimodal therapy vs. TUBRT + CT vs. TURBT + RT use over time. Survival analyses consisting of Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression (MCR) models addressed CSM according to each treatment modality. RESULTS 3729 (40%) patients underwent TMT vs. 4030 (43%) TURBT + CT vs. 1599 (17%) TURBT + RT. Over time, trimodal therapy use (Estimating annual percent change, EAPC: +1.2%, p = 0.01) and TURBT + CT use increased (EAPC: +1.5%, p = 0.01). In MCR models, relative to trimodal therapy, TURBT + CT exhibited 1-14-fold higher CSM and TURBT + RT 1.68-fold higher CSM. In a subgroup analysis, TURBT + RT was associated with 1.42-fold higher CSM than TURBT + CT (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Strict trimodal therapy that includes both CT and RT after TURBT offers the best cancer control. When strict trimodal therapy cannot be delivered, cancer-specific survival outcomes appear to be superior with TURBT + chemotherapy compared to TURBT + RT.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiotherapy (RT) represents a treatment option for small renal masses with proven feasibility and tolerability. However, it has never been directly compared to partial nephrectomy (PN) with cancer-specific mortality (CSM) as an endpoint. METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2020), we identified T1aN0M0 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients treated with RT or PN. We relied on 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) for age, tumor size and histology. Subsequently, cumulative incidence plots and multivariable competing risks regression (CRR) models were fitted. The same methodology was then re-applied to a subset of patients with tumor size 21-40 mm. RESULTS Of 40,355 patients with T1aN0M0 RCC, 40,262 underwent PN (99.8%) vs 93 underwent RT (0.2%). RT patients were older (median age 72 vs 60 years, p < 0.001) and harbored larger tumor size (median size 28 vs 25 mm, p < 0.001) and a higher proportion of non-clear cell RCC (49% vs 22%, p < 0.001). After 1:1 PSM (92 RT versus 92 PN patients), cumulative incidence plots' derived CSM was 21.3 vs 4%, respectively. In multivariable CRR models, RT independently predicted higher CSM (hazard ratio (HR) 4.3, p < 0.001). In the subgroup with tumor size 21-40 mm, after 1:1 PSM (72 RT versus 72 PN patients), cumulative incidence plots derived CSM was 21.3% vs 4%, respectively. In multivariable CRR models, RT also independently predicted higher CSM (HR 4.7, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In T1aN0M0 RCC patients, relative to PN, RT is associated with significantly higher absolute and relative CSM, even in patients with tumor size 21-40 mm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In-hospital mortality and complication rates after partial and radical nephrectomy in patients with history of heart-valve replacement are unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS Relying on the National Inpatient Sample (2000-2019), kidney cancer patients undergoing partial or radical nephrectomy were stratified according to presence or absence of heart-valve replacement. Multivariable logistic and Poisson regression models addressed adverse hospital outcomes. RESULTS Overall, 39,673 patients underwent partial nephrectomy versus 94,890 radical nephrectomy. Of those, 248 (0.6%) and 676 (0.7%) had a history of heart-valve replacement. Heart-valve replacement patients were older (median partial nephrectomy 69 versus 60 years; radical nephrectomy 71 versus 63 years), and more frequently exhibited Charlson comorbidity index ≥ 3 (partial nephrectomy 22 versus 12%; radical nephrectomy 32 versus 23%). In partial nephrectomy patients, history of heart-valve replacement increased the risk of cardiac complications [odds ratio (OR) 4.33; p < 0.001), blood transfusions (OR 2.00; p < 0.001), intraoperative complications (OR 1.53; p = 0.03), and longer hospital stay [rate ratio (RR) 1.25; p < 0.001], but not in-hospital mortality (p = 0.5). In radical nephrectomy patients, history of heart-valve replacement increased risk of postoperative bleeding (OR 4.13; p < 0.001), cardiac complications (OR 2.72; p < 0.001), intraoperative complications (OR 1.53; p < 0.001), blood transfusions (OR 1.27; p = 0.02), and longer hospital stay (RR 1.12; p < 0.001), but not in-hospital mortality (p = 0.5). CONCLUSIONS History of heart-valve replacement independently predicted four of twelve adverse outcomes in partial nephrectomy and five of twelve adverse outcomes in radical nephrectomy patients including intraoperative and cardiac complications, blood transfusions, and longer hospital stay. Conversely, no statistically significant differences were observed in in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In incidental prostate cancer (IPCa), elevated other-cause mortality (OCM) may obviate the need for active treatment. We tested OCM rates in IPCa according to treatment type and cancer grade and we hypothesized that OCM is significantly higher in not-actively-treated patients. METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2015), IPCa patients were identified. Smoothed cumulative incidence plots as well as multivariable competing risks regression models were fitted to address OCM after adjustment for cancer-specific mortality (CSM). RESULTS Of 5121 IPCa patients, 3655 (71%) were not-actively-treated while 1466 (29%) were actively-treated. Incidental PCa not-actively-treated patients were older and exhibited higher proportion of Gleason sum (GS) 6 and clinical T1a stage. In smoothed cumulative incidence plots, 5-year OCM was 20% for not-actively-treated versus 8% for actively-treated patients. Conversely, 5-year CSM was 5% for not-actively-treated versus 4% for actively-treated patients. No active treatment was associated with 1.4-fold higher OCM, even after adjustment for age, cancer characteristics, and CSM. According to GS, OCM reached 16%, 27%, and 35% in GS 6, 7, and 8-10 not-actively-treated IPCa patients, respectively and exceeded CSM recorded for the same three groups (2%, 6%, and 28%, respectively). CONCLUSION Our results quantified OCM rates, confirming that in not-actively-treated IPCa patients OCM is indeed significantly higher than in their actively-treated counterparts (HR: 1.4). These observations validate the use of no active treatment in IPCa patients, in whom OCM greatly surpasses CSM (20% vs. 5%).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trimodal therapy (TMT) is the most validated bladder-sparing treatment for organ-confined urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (OC UCUB, namely cT2N0M0). However, it is unknown if barriers to the use of TMT or cancer-specific mortality (CSM) differences exist according to race/ethnicity. We addressed this knowledge gap. MATERIAL AND METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2020), we identified OC UCUB patients aged from 18 to 85 treated with radical cystectomy (RC) or TMT. Temporal trends described TMT versus RC use over time. Subsequently, in the subgroup of TMT-treated patients, survival analyses consisting of Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression (MCR) models addressed CSM according to race/ethnicity. RESULTS Among 19,501 assessable patients, 15,336 (79%) underwent RC versus 4165 TMT (21%). Overall, of all races/ethnicities, 16,245 (83.3%) were White Americans, 1215 (6.3%) Hispanics, 1160 (5.9%) African Americans, and 881 (4.5%) Asian/Pacific Islanders. Among TMT-treated patients, 3460 (83.1%) were White Americans, 298 (7.1%) African Americans, 218 (5.3%) Hispanics, and 189 (4.5%) Asian/Pacific Islanders. The lowest rate of TMT use relative to RC and TMT patients was recorded in Hispanics (17.9%). Over time, TMT use increased in White Americans (EAPC: + 4.5%, p = 0.001) and Asians/Pacific Islanders (EAPC: + 5.2%, p = 0.003), but not in others. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed median CSM of 49 months, 41 months, and 34 months and not reached in White Americans, Hispanics, African Americans, and Asian/Pacific Islanders, respectively (p = 0.02). In MCR models, two race/ethnicity subgroups independently predicted either worse (African Americans, HR: 1.20, p = 0.02) or better CSM (Asian/Pacific Islanders, HR: 0.75, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Race/ethnicity affects both access to TMT (lower access in Hispanics) as well as survival after TMT (better in Asians/Pacific Islanders and worse in African Americans).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To address cancer-specific mortality free-survival (CSM-FS) differences in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (UCUB) vs non-UCUB who underwent trimodal therapy (TMT), according to organ confined (OC: T2N0M0) vs non-organ confined (NOC: T3-4NanyM0 or TanyN1-3M0) clinical stages. PATIENTS AND METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2020), we identified patients with cT2-T4N0-N3M0 bladder cancer treated with TMT, defined as the combination of transurethral resection of bladder tumour, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Temporal trends described TMT use over time. Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression (MCR) models addressed CSM in UCUB vs non-UCUB according to OC vs NOC stages. RESULTS Of 5130 assessable TMT-treated patients, 425 (8%) harboured non-UCUB vs 4705 (92%) who had UCUB. The TMT rates increased for patients with OC UCUB from 92.4% to 96.8% (estimated annual percentage change of 0.4%, P < 0.001), but not in the NOC stages (P = 0.3). In the OC stage, the median CSM-FS was 36 months in patients with non-UCUB vs 60 months in those with UCUB, respectively (P = 0.01). Conversely, in the NOC stage, the median CSM-FS was 23 months both in UCUB and non-UCUB (P = 0.9). In the MCR models addressing OC stage, non-UCUB histology independently predicted higher CSM (hazard ratio 1.45, P = 0.004), but not in the NOC stage (P = 0.9). CONCLUSION In OC UCUB, TMT rates have increased over time in a guideline-consistent fashion. Patients with OC non-UCUB treated with TMT showed a CSM disadvantage relative to OC UCUB. In the NOC stage, use of TMT resulted in dismal CSM, regardless of UCUB vs non-UCUB histology.

Abstract
Objective: To construct a novel dual-specific antibody targeting human CD123 (CD123 DuAb) and study its effects in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . Methods: Based on the variable region of the CD123 monoclonal antibody independently developed at our institution, the CD123 DuAb expression plasmid was constructed by molecular cloning and transfected into ExpiCHO-S cells to prepare the antibody protein. Through a series of in vitro experiments, its activation and proliferation effect on T cells, as well as the effect of promoting T-cell killing of AML cells, were verified. Results: ① A novel CD123 DuAb plasmid targeting CD123 was successfully constructed and expressed in the Expi-CHO eukaryotic system. ②The CD123 DuAb could bind both CD3 on T cells and CD123 on CD123(+) tumor cells. ③When T cells were co-cultured with MV4-11 cells with addition of the CD123 DuAb at a concentration of 1 nmol/L, the positive expression rates of CD69 and CD25 on T cells were 68.0% and 44.3%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). ④Co-culture with CD123 DuAb at 1 nmol/L promoted T-cell proliferation, and the absolute T-cell count increased from 5×10(5)/ml to 3.2×10(6)/ml on day 9, and CFSE fluorescence intensity decreased significantly. ⑤ With the increase in CD123 DuAb concentration in the culture system, T-cell exhaustion and apoptosis increased. When the CD123 DuAb was added at a concentration of 1 nmol/L to the culture system, the proportion of CD8(+) PD-1(+) LAG-3(+) T cells was 10.90%, and the proportion of propidium iodide (PI) (-) Annexin Ⅴ(+) T cells and PI(+) Annexin Ⅴ(+) T cells was 18.27% and 11.43%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). ⑥ The CD123 DuAb significantly activated T cells, and the activation intensity was positively correlated with its concentration. The expression rate of CD107a on T cells reached 16.05% with 1 nmol/L CD123 DuAb, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). ⑦The CD123 DuAb promoted cytokine secretion by T cells at a concentration of 1 nmol/L, and the concentration of IFN-γ and TNF-α in the supernatant of the co-culture system reached 193.8 pg/ml and 169.8 pg/ml, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). ⑧When CD123 DuAb was added at a concentration of 1 nmol/L to the co-culture system of T cells and CD123(+) tumor cells, the killing intensity of T cells significantly increased, and the residual rates of CD123(+) MV4-11 cells, CD123(+) Molm13 cells, and CD123(+) THP-1 cells were 7.4%, 6.7%, and 14.6% on day 3, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion: In this study, a novel CD123 DuAb was constructed and expressed. In vitro experiments verified that the DuAb binds to CD123(+) tumor cells and T cells simultaneously, promotes T-cell activation and proliferation, and facilitates their anti-leukemia effect, which provides a basis for further clinical research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify low cancer-specific mortality (CSM) risk lymph node-positive (pN1) radical prostatectomy (RP) patients. METHODS Within Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2010-2015) pN1 RP patients were identified. Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox-regression (MCR) models were used. Pathological characteristics were used to identify patients at lowest CSM risk. RESULTS Overall, 2197 pN1 RP patients were identified. Overall, 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rate was 93.3%. In MCR models ISUP GG1-2 (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.12, p < 0.001), GG3 (HR: 0.14, p < 0.001), GG4 (HR: 0.35, p = 0.002), pT2 (HR: 0.27, p = 0.012), pT3a (HR: 0.28, p = 0.003), pT3b (HR: 0.39, p = 0.009), and 1-2 positive lymph nodes (HR: 0.64, p = 0.04) independently predicted lower CSM. Pathological characteristics subgroups with the most protective hazard ratios were used to identify low-risk (ISUP GG1-3 and pT2-3a and 1-2 positive lymph nodes) patients versus others (ISUP GG4-5 or pT3b-4 or ≥3 positive lymph nodes). In Kaplan-Meier analyses, 5-year CSS rates were 99.3% for low-risk (n = 480, 21.8%) versus 91.8% (p < 0.001) for others (n = 1717, 78.2%). CONCLUSIONS Lymph node-positive RP patients exhibit variable CSS rates. Within this heterogeneous group, those at very low risk of CSM may be identified based on pathological characteristics, namely ISUP GG1-3, pT2-3a, and 1-2 positive lymph nodes. Such stratification scheme might be of value for individual patients counseling, as well as in design of clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Long-term results on quality of life (QoL) as well as clinical outcomes of intermittent self-dilatation (ISD) of the urethra after direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU) are scarce. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate patient reported outcomes (PROs) on voiding symptoms and QoL in a large cohort of urethral stricture patients performing ISD. METHODS We identified a total of 121 patients who performed ISD following DVIU between 2008 and 2013. Baseline assessment was conducted for each patient before ISD was started. Follow-up visits were scheduled in 6-month intervals. Each assessment included the following questionnaires: International prostate symptom score (IPSS), IPSS quality of life index (IPSS-QoL), patient global impression of severity (PGI-S), and patient global impression of improvement (PGI-I). Additional parameters were maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax ), postvoid residual urine, rate of complications, and stricture recurrence. Linear mixed models were used to examine the change over the course of the follow-up visits to the baseline. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 58 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 43-70). The median follow-up was 17 months (IQR: 7-30). Mean change from baseline IPSS was -6.1, -5.9, -4.2, and -4.8 points at 6, 24, 36, and 48 months. Mean change from baseline IPSS-QoL was -1.3, -1.4, -1.6, and -1.8 points, respectively. Mean PGI-I was 1.7 points at 6, 1.9 points at 24, 1.9 points at 36, and 2.2 points at 48 months after ISD initiation. Mean change of Qmax ranged from 1.7 at 6 to 2.2 mL/s at 48 months. The median complication rate was 3.3% per 6-month ISD interval. Overall, 11 patients developed stricture recurrence (9%). CONCLUSION ISD after DVIU had no negative impact on patients' QoL (IPSS-QoL, PGI-I, PGI-S). Urodynamic parameters remained stable for up to 48 months with low complications and an acceptable stricture recurrence rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether 5-year overall survival (OS) of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (SCCP) patients differs from age-matched male population-based controls. METHODS We relied on the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database (2004-2018) to identify newly diagnosed (2004-2013) SCCP patients. For each case, we simulated an age-matched control (Monte Carlo simulation), relying on the Social Security Administration (SSA) Life Tables with 5 years of follow-up. We compared OS between SCCP patients and population-based controls in a stage-specific fashion. Smoothed cumulative incidence plots displayed cancer-specific mortality (CSM) versus other-cause mortality (OCM). RESULTS Of 2282 SCCP patients, the stage distribution was as follows: stage I 976 (43%) versus stage II 826 (36%) versus stage III 302 (13%) versus stage IV 178 (8%). At 5 years, OS of SCCP patients versus age-matched population-based controls was as follows: stage I 63% versus 80% (Δ = 17%), stage II 50% versus 80% (Δ = 30%), stage III 39% versus 84% (Δ = 45%), stage IV 26% versus 87% (Δ = 61%). At 5 years, CSM versus OCM in SCCP patients according to stage was as follows: stage I 12% versus 24%, stage II 22% versus 28%, stage III 47% versus 14%, and stage IV 60% versus 14%. CONCLUSION SCCP patients exhibit worse OS across all stages. The difference in OS at 5 years between SCCP and age-matched male population-based controls ranged from 17% to 61%. At 5 years, CSM accounted for 12% to 60% of all deaths, across all stages.

Abstract
As indicator organisms for water pollution detection, Pseudogasteromyzon species play a vital role in aquatic environment monitoring. We have successfully sequenced the mitogenomes of P. fasciatus jiulongjiangensis and P. myersi and downloaded the mitogenomes of nine other Pseudogastromyzon fish on GenBank to conduct a detailed comparative analysis of their phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history. The findings revealed a conservation in both gene composition and gene order. Except for the trnS1 gene lacking dihydrouracil arms, the other 21 tRNAs showed the typical clover-leaf secondary structure. According to the ΔRSCU method, we identified the seven most abundant optimal codons: CUA, GUA, CCA, CAA, GAA, AGC, and GGC. The construction of maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayes trees yielded congruent topologies, and the 11 Pseudogastromyzon species were clustered into two major clusters. Among them, one of which was composed of P. fangi, P. changtingensis changtingensis, and P. changtingensis tungpeiensis, while the remaining eight species formed another cluster, further subdivided into five smaller clusters. Distinct clusters formed between P. fasciatus jiulongjiangensis and P. meihuashanensis, P. cheni and P. peristictus, and P. laticeps and P. lianjiangensis, and the remaining two species were clustered separately, thereby enhancing our understanding of them. Furthermore, our analysis results of divergence times revealed that these 11 Pseudogasteromyzon species underwent rapid differentiation in the Pleistocene epochs. Overall, our study sheds light on the phylogenetic relationship and evolutionary history of Pseudogasteromyzon species, providing a necessary knowledge foundation for further understanding the intricacies of an ecosystem health assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether married status may be associated with lower cancer-specific mortality (CSM) rates in primary urethral carcinoma (PUC) patients. To test for differences in CSM rates, according to marital status, we relied on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database 2000-2020. METHODS Patient (age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status), tumor (stage, histology), and treatment (surgery, systemic therapy) characteristics of PUC patients were tabulated. Then, Kaplan-Meier plots, as well as univariable and multivariable Cox regression (MCR) models tested for differences in CSM rates according to marital status in overall cohort and then in sex-specific subgroup analyses. RESULTS Of all 1,571 PUC patients, 70% were male vs. 30% female. Females were statistically significantly younger (68 vs. 73 years), more frequently unmarried (54 vs. 28%), non-Caucasian (43 vs. 24%), more frequently harbored T3-4N0M0 (39 vs. 18%) and less frequently T1-2N0M0 (53 vs. 69%) or TanyN1-2M0/TanyNanyM1 (8 vs. 13%), relative to males. Moreover, we recorded differences in histotype proportions in females vs. males (urothelial 30 vs. 64%; squamous 24 vs. 22%; adenocarcinoma 36 vs. 7%; others 10 vs. 6%) and surgical treatment (none 22 vs. 17%; excisional biopsy 22 vs. 36%; partial urethrectomy 14 vs. 16%; radical urethrectomy 42 vs. 31%). In MCR models focusing on the entire cohort, married status independently predicted lower CSM (hazard ratio [HR]:0.82; P = 0.02). Similarly, in MCR models focusing on females, married status independently predicted lower CSM (HR:0.73; P = 0.03). Conversely, in MCR models focusing on males, married status failed to independently predict lower CSM (HR:0.89; P = 0.3). CONCLUSIONS Married status was associated with lower CSM in PUC patients. However, this benefit applies to female PUC patients, but not to their male counterparts.

Abstract
The start-up and stable operation of partial nitritation-anammox (PN/A) treatment of mature landfill leachate (MLL) still face challenges. This study developed an innovative staged pilot-scale PN/A system to enhance nitrogen removal from MLL. The staged process included a PN unit, an anammox upflow enhanced internal circulation biofilm (UEICB) reactor, and a post-biofilm unit. Rapid start-up of the continuous flow PN process (full-concentration MLL) was achieved within 35 days by controlling dissolved oxygen and leveraging free ammonia and free nitrous acid to selectively suppress nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). The UEICB was equipped with an annular flow agitator combined with the enhanced internal circulation device of the guide tube, which achieved an efficient enrichment of Candidatus Kuenenia in the biofilm (relative abundance of 33.4 %). The nitrogen removal alliance formed by the salt-tolerant anammox bacterium (Candidatus Kuenenia) and denitrifying bacteria (unclassified SBR1031 and Denitratisoma) achieved efficient nitrogen removal of UEICB (total nitrogen removal percentage: 90.8 %) and at the same time effective treatment of the refractory organic matter (ROM). The dual membrane process of UEICB fixed biofilm combined with post-biofilm is effective in sludge retention, and can stably control the effluent suspended solids (SS) at a level of less than 5 mg/L. The post-biofilm unit ensured that effluent total nitrogen (TN) remained below the 40 mg/L discharge standard (98.5 % removal efficiency). Compared with conventional nitrification-denitrification systems, the staged PN/A process substantially reduced oxygen consumption, sludge production, CO2 emissions and carbon consumption by 22.8 %, 67.1 %, 87.1 % and 87.1 %, respectively. The 195-day stable operation marks the effective implementation of the innovative pilot-scale PN/A process in treating actual MLL. This study provides insights into strategies for rapid start-up, robust NOB suppression, and anammox biomass retention to advance the application of PN/A in high-ammonia low-carbon wastewater.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether previously reported other-cause mortality (OCM) advantage of partial cytoreductive nephrectomy (PCN) vs. radical cytoreductive nephrectomy (RCN) still applies to contemporary clear cell metastatic renal cell carcinoma (ccmRCC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We relied on the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2019) to identify ccmRCC patients treated with PCN and RCN. Temporal trends of PCN rates within the SEER database were tabulated. After propensity score matching (PSM), cumulative incidence plots depicted 5-year OCM and cancer-specific mortality (CSM) of PCN and RCN patients. Multivariable Cox regression models tested for differences between PCN vs. RCN. RESULTS Of 5149 study patients, 237 (5%) underwent PCN vs. 4912 (95%) RCN. In the SEER database 2004 to 2019, rates of PCN in ccmRCC patients increased from 3.0% to 8.0% (estimated annual percent change [EAPC]: 3.0%; P = .04). After PSM, 5-year OCM rates were 2.4 vs. 7.5% for respectively PCN vs. RCN patients (P = .036). 5-year CSM rates were 50.8 vs. 53.6% for respectively PCN and RCN patients (P = .57). In multivariable Cox regression models, PCN was associated with lower OCM (Hazard Ratio (HR): 0.39; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.18-0.84; P = .02) but did not affect CSM rates (HR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.76-1.29; P = .96). CONCLUSIONS We confirm the existence of OCM advantage after PCN vs. RCN in contemporary ccmRCC patients.

Abstract
Upgrading municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs) has been implemented in many megacities of China to reduce the discharges of nutrients and other pollutants and improve water quality of highly urbanized rivers. However, the contribution of MWTP discharge to bacterial hazards in the receiving rivers after upgrades has been largely unknown. In this study, high-throughput sequencing and shotgun metagenomics were applied to investigate the changes in the abundance, composition, potential risks, and contributions of bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from effluent to receiving river after upgrading the third-largest MWTP in China with denitrification biofilters, ultrafiltration, ozonation, and disinfection processes. The annual loadings of total nitrogen and 27 types of pharmaceuticals were reduced by 42.4% ± 13.2% and 46.2% ± 15.4%, respectively. Bacterial biomass decreased from (3.58 ± 0.49) to (1.23 ± 0.27) × 107 16S rRNA gene copies/mL, and identified biomarkers in effluent and downstream shifted due to the adopted processes. Opportunistic pathogen bacteria downstream were also reduced. Although the relative abundance of total ARGs in MWTP effluent increased from 1.10 ± 0.02 to 2.19 ± 0.03 copies/16S rRNA gene after upgrades, that of total and high-risk ARGs downstream showed no significant difference. More importantly, the Bayesian-based SourceTracker method provided valuable insight by revealing that the contributions of MWTP discharge to downstream bacteria (from 44.2% ± 1.5%-31.4% ± 0.9%) and ARGs (from 61.2% ± 5.3%-47.6% ± 4.1%) were significantly reduced following the upgrades, indicating upgrading MWTP showed integrated benefits to the bacterial hazards in the receiving river. This study provides useful information for better control of bacterial hazard risks and operational strategy for the improvement of the urban aquatic ecosystem.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the ability of the 2015 modified version of the European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumors-staging system (mENSAT) in predicting cancer specific-mortality (CSM), as well as overall mortality (OM) in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) patients of all stages, in a large scale, and contemporary United States cohort. METHODS We relied on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2020) to test the accuracy and calibration of the mENSAT and subsequently compared it to the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer-staging system (AJCC). RESULTS In 858 ACC patients, mENSAT accuracy was 74.7% for three-year CSM predictions and 73.8% for three-year OM predictions. The maximum departures from ideal predictions in mENSAT were +17.2% for CSM and +11.8% for OM. Conversely, AJCC accuracy was 74.5% for three-year CSM predictions and 73.5% for three-year OM predictions. The maximum departures from ideal predictions in AJCC were -6.7% for CSM and -7.1% for OM. CONCLUSION The accuracy of mENSAT is virtually the same as that of AJCC in predicting CSM (74.7 vs. 74.5%) and OM (73.7 vs. 73.5%). However, calibration is lower for mENSAT than for AJCC. In consequence, no obvious benefit appears to be associated with the use of mENSAT relative to AJCC in United States ACC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether more complex UD, such as orthotopic neobladder and abdominal pouch, may be associated with higher OCM rates than ileal conduit. We addressed this knowledge gap within the SEER database 2004-2020. METHODS All T1-T4aN0M0 radical cystectomy (RC) patients were identified. After 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM), cumulative incidence plots, univariable and multivariable competing-risks regression (CRR) models were used to test differences in OCM rates according to UD type (orthotopic neobladder vs. abdominal pouch vs. ileal conduit). RESULTS Of all 3008 RC patients, 2380 (79%) underwent ileal conduit vs. 628 (21%) who underwent continent UD (268 orthotopic neobladder and 360 abdominal pouch). After PSM relative to ileal conduit, neither continent UD (13 vs. 15%; p = 0.1) nor orthotopic neobladder (13 vs. 16%; p = 0.4) nor abdominal pouch (13 vs. 15%; p = 0.2) were associated with higher 10-year OCM rates. After PSM and after adjustment for cancer-specific mortality (CSM), as well as after multivariable adjustments relative to ileal conduit, neither continent UD (Hazard Ratio [HR]:0.73; p = 0.1), nor orthotopic neobladder (HR:0.84; p = 0.5) nor abdominal pouch (HR:0.77; p = 0.2) were associated with higher OCM. CONCLUSIONS It appears that more complex UD types, such as orthotopic neobladder and abdominal pouch are not associated with higher OCM relative to ileal conduit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of number and location of organ-specific metastatic sites in treated metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (ccmRCC) patients is object of debate. The current study aimed to test the association between number and location of organ-specific metastatic sites and overall survival (OS) in ccmRCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Within Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2010-2018), all ccmRCC patients treated with cytoreductive nephrectomy and/or systemic therapy were identified. Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression models focused on: A). number of organ-specific metastatic sites: solitary vs. 2 vs. 3 or more; B). solitary organ-specific metastatic sites (lung vs. bone vs. liver vs. brain); C). combinations of 2 and 3 or more different organ-specific metastatic sites. RESULTS Of 4,527 patients (median OS: 19 months), 3,054 (67%) harbored solitary organ-specific metastatic sites (27 months) vs. 1,153 (25%) combinations of 2 different organ-specific metastatic sites (12 months) vs. 320 (8%) combinations of 3 or more different organ-specific metastatic sites (7 months). In patients with solitary organ-specific metastatic sites, bone metastases portended the longest median OS (median OS: 31 months) vs. liver metastases portended the shortest median OS (16 months). Both were independent predictors of OS (multivariable hazard ratio, bone: 0.87; liver: 1.21). Median OS was similarly poor in patients with combinations of 2 different organ-specific metastatic sites (9-13 months), regardless of their location. The same pattern applied to patients with combinations of 3 or more different organ-specific metastatic sites (6-7 months). CONCLUSIONS Solitary organ-specific metastatic sites portend the most favorable OS (16-31 months). Solitary bone metastases yield the longest vs. liver metastases the shortest OS. Invariably poor OS applies to combinations of 2 (9-13 months), as well as 3 or more different organ-specific metastatic sites (6-7 months), regardless of their location.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In nonmetastatic pelvic liposarcoma patients, it is unknown whether married status is associated with better cancer-control outcome defined as cancer-specific mortality (CSM). We addressed this knowledge gap and hypothesized that married status is associated with lower CSM rates in both male and female patients. METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2000-2020), nonmetastatic pelvic liposarcoma patients were identified. Kaplan-Meier plots and univariable and multivariable Cox regression models (CRMs) predicting CSM according to marital status were used in the overall cohort and in male and female subgroups. RESULTS Of 1078 liposarcoma patients, 764 (71%) were male and 314 (29%) female. Of 764 male patients, 542 (71%) were married. Conversely, of 314 female patients, 192 (61%) were married. In the overall cohort, 5-year cancer-specific mortality-free survival (CSM-FS) rates were 89% for married versus 83% for unmarried patients (Δ = 6%). In multivariable CRMs, married status did not independently predict lower CSM (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.74, p = 0.06). In males, 5-year CSM-FS rates were 89% for married versus 86% for unmarried patients (Δ = 3%). In multivariable CRMs, married status did not independently predict lower CSM (HR: 0.85, p = 0.4). In females, 5-year CSM-FS rates were 88% for married versus 79% for unmarried patients (Δ = 9%). In multivariable CRMs, married status independently predicted lower CSM (HR: 0.58, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS In nonmetastatic pelvic liposarcoma patients, married status independently predicted lower CSM only in female patients. In consequence, unmarried female patients should ideally require more assistance and more frequent follow-up than their married counterparts.

Abstract
The limited coverage of soft tissue and complex biomechanical factors make resection and reconstruction of distal tibial tumors extremely challenging. Megaprosthesis can provide good mechanical strength for tumor en bloc resection, but there are many postoperative complications, and the problems of insufficient soft tissue coverage and postoperative ankle instability must be solved. The development of three-dimensional digital technology may provide a new treatment strategy for distal tibial reconstruction. Compared to ankle joint preservation endoprostheses, the rapid osseointegration effect of three dimensional-printed megaprosthesis with ankle arthrodesis provides better ankle joint stability and postoperative function. In addition, the three dimensional-printed megaprosthesis may improve complications such as insufficient soft tissue coverage and talus collapse by reducing the circumference of the prosthesis and matching it with the talus through personalized design. Of course, there are few research reports on distal tibial prostheses, and the safety of three dimensional-printed megaprosthesis with ankle arthrodesis needs to be confirmed through extensive long-term follow-up studies. The selection of proximal and distal fixation methods for prostheses needs to be explored in future research.
