Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of dendritic cells and the autophagy state of dendritic cells in the immune response of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was still controversial. In this study, we carefully examined the phenotype, function and autophagy pathway of dendritic cells in HBV infection. METHODS Monocyte-derived dendritic cells from healthy blood donors and patients with chronic HBV infection were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide, supernatant of HepG2.2.15 cells or supernatant of HepG2 cells respectively. Phenotype of dendritic cells was examined by flow cytometry and cytokines secretion was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Autophagy related proteins were detected by western blot and immunofluorescence analysis. RESULTS Our results showed that the expression of both major histocompatibility complex II molecules and co-stimulated molecules including cluster of differentiation antigen 80, cluster of differentiation antigen 86 in the monocyte-derived dendritic cells from patients with chronic HBV infection was significantly higher than that from healthy donors when cultured with supernatant of HepG2.2.15 cells. The amount of cytokines, including tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-10 and interleukin-12, secreted by monocyte-derived dendritic cells from patients with chronic HBV infection was also significantly higher than that from healthy donors when stimulate by HBV. Interestingly, the expression level of autophagy-related proteins including autophagy-related protein5 and associated protein 1 light chain in dendritic cells from patients with chronic HBV infection was significantly increased when compared with that from healthy donors when re-exposed to HBV. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that dendritic cells from patients with chronic HBV infection could intensively present antigen and express co-stimulatory molecules. The increased activation of dendritic cells might be related to the enhanced autophagy of dendritic cells in HBV infection.

Abstract
MAVS is an adapter protein involved in RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling in mitochondria, peroxisomes, and mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs). However, the role of MAVS in glucose metabolism and RLR signaling cross-regulation and how these signaling pathways are coordinated among these organelles have not been defined. This study reports that RLR action drives a switch from glycolysis to the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) through MAVS. We show that peroxisomal MAVS is responsible for glucose flux shift into PPP and type III interferon (IFN) expression, whereas MAMs-located MAVS is responsible for glucose flux shift into HBP and type I IFN expression. Mechanistically, peroxisomal MAVS interacts with G6PD and the MAVS signalosome forms at peroxisomes by recruiting TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1). By contrast, MAMs-located MAVS interact with glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase, and the MAVS signalosome forms at MAMs by recruiting TRAF6 and TRAF2. Our findings suggest that MAVS mediates the interaction of RLR signaling and glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Introduction Podocyte apoptosis is a common mechanism driving progression in Alport syndrome (AS). This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of podocyte apoptosis caused by COL4A3 mutations. Methods We recruited patients with autosomal dominant AS (ADAS). Patients with minimal change disease (MCD) were recruited as controls. Microarray analysis was carried out on isolated glomeruli from the patients and validated. Then, corresponding mutant human podocytes (p.C1616Y) and 129 mice (p.C1615Y, the murine homolog to the human p.C1616Y) were constructed. The highest differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from microarray analysis were validated in transgenic mice and podocytes before and after administration of MMP-2 inhibitor (SB-3CT) and NOX4 inhibitor (GKT137831). We further validated NOX4/MMP-2/apoptosis pathway by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunohistochemistry, and western blot in renal tissues from the ADAS patients. Results Using microarray analysis, we observed that DEGs, including NOX4/H2O2, MMP-2, and podocyte apoptosis-related genes were significantly upregulated. These genes were validated by real-time PCR, histologic analysis, and western blot in corresponding mutant human podocyte (p.C1616Y) and/or mice models (p.C1615Y). Moreover, we found podocyte apoptosis was abrogated and MMP-2 expression was down-regulated both in vivo and in vitro by NOX4 inhibition, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, 24-hour proteinuria; and renal pathologic lesion was attenuated by NOX4 inhibition in vivo. Furthermore, podocyte apoptosis was attenuated whereas NOX4 expression remained the same by inhibition of MMP-2 both in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion These results indicated that NOX4 might induce podocyte apoptosis through the regulation of MMP-2 in patients with COL4A3 mutations. Our findings provided new insights into the mechanism of ADAS.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the biological role and mechanism underlying the effects of colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2), a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). CCAT2 expression levels in clinical LSCC samples and TU-212 cell line were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR. The correlation of CCAT2 expression level with clinical-pathological characteristics of patients and their prognosis was analyzed. The functional role of CCAT2 in human LSCC was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell assay, flow cytometric analysis, and LSCC xenograft experiment in vivo. The expression of potential targeted proteins was detected by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. We found that expression of CCAT2 was significantly elevated in LSCC tissues and TU-212 cells (p<0.05). Survival analysis showed that LSCC patients with high expression of CCAT2 had a shorter 5-year overall survival rate than those with low expression (p<0.05). In addition, CCAT2 silencing with short hairpin RNA significantly decreased the proliferative and invasive potential of TU-212 cells (p<0.05) and promoted their apoptosis. In Nude mice, CCAT2 knockdown suppressed the growth of tumor and decreased its volume and weight in comparison with the controls (p<0.05). In TU-212 cells, CCAT2 silencing with short hairpin RNA significantly down-regulated the expression of β-catenin and CDK8 (p<0.05). Thus, knockdown of CCAT2 suppresses proliferation and invasion of the cells and inhibits Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in LSCC, which indicates novel therapeutic targets and prognostic indicators in patients with LSCC.

Abstract
Adelmidrol, an anti-inflammatory small-molecule compound, can treat inflammatory diseases like arthritis and colitis in a PPARγ-dependent manner. Effective anti-inflammatory therapy is beneficial in delaying the progression of liver fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the effect and underlying mechanisms of adelmidrol on hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl4 and CDAA-HFD. In the CCl4 model, adelmidrol (10 mg/kg) significantly reduced the incidence of liver cirrhosis from 76.5% to 38.9%, with a reduction of ALT, AST, and extracellular matrix deposition. RNA-seq revealed adelmidrol markedly inhibited the activation of hepatic scar-associated Trem2+ macrophages and PDGFRα+ stellate cells. Adelmidrol exhibited a limited anti-fibrotic effect in CDAA-HFD-induced fibrosis. Further, inconsistencies were observed in the expression trends in liver PPARγ in both models. CCl4 injury led to the continuous decrease in hepatic PPARγ levels, adelmidrol treatment up-regulated hepatic PPARγ expression and down-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory factor NF-κB and pro-fibrotic factor TGF-β1. Adelmidrol also inhibited the activation of macrophages and HSCs in a PPARγ-dependent manner in vitro. GW9662, a specific PPARγ antagonist, counteracted the anti-fibrotic effect of adelmidrol. In CDAA-HFD-induced model, hepatic PPARγ expression gradually increased with the progress of modeling. Adelmidrol enhanced steatosis in hepatocytes by the activation of the PPARγ/CD36 pathway in the CDAA-HFD model and FFA-treated HepG2, showing a limited anti-fibrotic effect. GW9662 reversed the pro-steatotic effect of adelmidrol and improved fibrosis. The anti-fibrotic outcomes of adelmidrol were related to hepatic PPARγ levels, which depends on the synergistic effect of PPARγ agonism caused by adelmidrol on hepatocytes, macrophages, and HSCs in different pathological states.

Abstract
Selenium (Se)-enriched habitats have led to chronic selenosis, seriously affecting the health and survival of Procapra przewalskii (P. przewalskii). Our targets were to explore the molecular mechanisms of chronic selenosis and to look for a new way to protect endangered species. The mineral contents of soils, grass, blood, and muscle were analyzed. The biochemical indices, antioxidant capability, and immune function were also investigated. The analyses of proteomics and metabolomics were also carried out. The results showed that the Se contents in the muscle and blood of P. przewalskii, and the soil and grass in the Se-enriched habitats were significantly higher than those in healthy pastures. The P. przewalskii in the Se-enriched habitats showed symptoms of anemia, decreased antioxidant capability, and low immune function. A total of 44 differential proteins and 36 differential metabolites were screened by analyzing their proteomics and metabolomics. These differential proteins and metabolites were involved in glycolysis pathway, amino acid biosynthesis, carbon metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, and energy metabolism. In particular, phenylalanine metabolism was the common pathway of proteomics and metabolomics, which was an important finding in studying the mechanism of chronic selenosis in animals. This study will help us to further understand the mechanism of chronic selenosis in P. przewalskii, and it provides a scientific basis for the protection of endangered species in Se-enriched habitats.

Ingestion of polonium-210 from environmental media and food can cause serious health hazards (e.g., gastrointestinal symptoms, tumours, etc.) and has been a public health concern worldwide since the 2006 poisoning of Agent Litvinenko 210Po in Russia. With the development of uranium mining and applications of nuclear technology in recent decades, the radioactive hazards posed by 210Po to living organisms and the environment have become increasingly prominent. In order to strengthen the monitoring of environmental 210Po and protect both the environment and human health, a series of explorations on the methods of 210Po determination have been ongoing by researchers across the globe. However, previous reviews have focused on individual sample types and have not provided a comprehensive account of environmental, food, and biological samples that are closely related to human health. In this work, the sources, health hazards, chemical purification, and detection methods of trace 210Po in different sample types are systematically reviewed. In particular, the advantages and disadvantages of various pretreatment methods are compared, and relevant domestic and international standards are integrated, which puts forward a new direction for the subsequent establishment of rapid, simple, and efficient measurement methods.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogues and nucleotide analogues can not only achieve long-term viral suppression in the treatment of most CHB patients but also have a positive impact on other CHB therapeutic goals and an improved prognosis. A certain difference can be observed in the impact of nucleotide analogues such as TDF and TAF and nucleoside analogues such as ETV on the clinical outcomes of CHB. Studies on the mechanism of action indicate that apart from inhibiting the direct antiviral effects of HBV reverse transcriptase, these two categories of drugs exhibit distinct impacts on immune-related signaling pathways, gene expression, genome stability, and other non-antiviral mechanisms. This article reviews the evidence on the potential non-antiviral mechanism of action of nucleoside analogues and nucleotide analogues and proposes a preliminary explanation for the observation trend of nucleotide analogues having a comparative advantage in clinical outcomes in CHB patients based on the latest research advancement.

Abstract
Background The management of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms remains a controversial topic, and MCA aneurysms have traditionally been treated primarily by surgical clipping. The Neuroform Atlas Stent™ (NAS, available from Stryker Neurovascular, Fremont, California) represents the latest generation of intracranial stents with improved stent delivery system capabilities. Objective This study aims to investigate the safety, feasibility and efficacy exhibited by NAS in treating unruptured aneurysms at the MCA bifurcation. Methods This was a two-center retrospective study involving 42 patients with unruptured wide-necked aneurysms (WNAs) of the MCA treated with the NAS from October 2020 to July 2022. Results The stent was used to treat 42 cases of unruptured WNA at the MCA bifurcation. Endovascular treatment techniques had a 100% success rate. Immediate postoperative angiography found complete aneurysm occlusion in 34 patients (80.9%) (mRRC 1), neck remnant in 7 patients (16.7%) (mRRC 2), and residual aneurysm in 1 patient (2.4%) (mRRC 3). The thromboembolic complication rate was 2.4% (1/42). The follow-up period was 8.7 months on average (3-16 months). The last angiographic follow-up results revealed complete aneurysm occlusion in 39 patients (92.9%) (mRRC 1), neck remnant in 3 (7.1%) patients (mRRC 2), no aneurysm recanalization or recurrence, and no cases of stent intimal hyperplasia. During the latest clinical follow-up, all patients had an mRS score of 0. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that the NAS can be applied to treat unruptured WNAs at the MCA bifurcation with favorable safety, feasibility, and efficacy.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to develop and validate a risk score (RS) for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Methods Patient with biopsy-proven FSGS was enrolled. All the patients were allocated 1:1 to the two groups according to their baseline gender, age, and baseline creatinine level by using a stratified randomization method. ESKD was the primary endpoint. Results We recruited 359 FSGS patients, and 177 subjects were assigned to group 1 and 182 to group 2. The clinicopathological variables were similar between two groups. There were 23 (13%) subjects reached to ESKD in group 1 and 22 (12.1%) in group 2. By multivariate Cox regression analyses, we established RS 1 and RS 2 in groups 1 and 2, respectively. RS 1 consists of five parameters including lower eGFR, higher urine protein, MAP, IgG level, and tubulointerstitial lesion (TIL) score; RS 2 also consists of five predictors including lower C3, higher MAP, IgG level, hemoglobin, and TIL score. RS 1 and RS 2 were cross-validated between these two groups, showing RS 1 had better performance in predicting 5-year ESKD in group 1 (c statics, 0.86 [0.74-0.98] vs. 0.82 [0.69-0.95]) and group 2 (c statics, 0.91 [0.83-0.99] vs. 0.89 [0.79-0.99]) compared to RS 2. We then stratified the risk factors into four groups, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve revealed that patients progressed to ESKD increased as risk levels increased. Conclusions A predictive model incorporated clinicopathological feature was developed and validated for the prediction of ESKD in FSGS patients.

Abstract
Introduction Tritium in the environment constitutes a radiological concern because it can become part of the hydrogen pool in environmental and biological reservoirs and thereby expose people to radiation. Methods Tissue-free water tritium (TFWT) analysis in food is an important subject of environmental radiation monitoring which plays an important role in the estimation of health risks from environmental tritium exposure. At present, tritium content in food is generally determined by liquid scintillation counter (LSC). To improve the analytical efficiency in tritium determination, we developed a novel method to treat TFWT in food using microporous membranes. Results The microporous membrane treatment method developed in this study has the following characteristics: It has a wide range of application and can process TFWT samples with conductivity below 5 μS/cm. Sample loss for the microporous membrane treatment is approximately 5%. The average treatment time is only 5 min, significantly shortened compared with the currently used atmospheric distillation treatment method (1.5 h). The results of the comparison and spike experiment show that the samples prepared by microporous membrane treatment provides equally satisfactory tritium measurement results as classic distillation method. Discussion The developed microporous membrane method is simple to operate, efficient, and environmentally friendly, and effectively improves the analysis efficiency of TFWT in food.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that specifically target mutational points in the EGFR gene have significantly reduced suffering and provided greater relief to patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The third-generation EGFR-TKI, Osimertinib, has been successfully employed in clinical treatments to overcome resistance to both original and acquired T790M and L858R mutational points. Nevertheless, the issue of treatment failure response has emerged as an insurmountable problem. METHODS By employing a combination of multiple and integrated approaches, we successfully identified a distinct population within the tumor group that plays a significant role in carcinogenesis, resistance, and recurrence. Our research suggests that addressing TKI resistance may involve targeting the renewal and repopulation of stem-like cells. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we conducted RNA Microarray and m6A Epi-Transcriptomic Microarray analyses, followed by assessment of transcription factors. Additionally, we specifically designed a tag to detect the polypeptide circRNA-AA, and its expression was confirmed through m6A regulations. RESULTS We initially identified unique molecular signatures present in cancer stem cells that contributed to poor therapeutic responses. Activation of the alternative Wnt pathway was found to sustain the renewal and resistant status of these cells. Through bioinformatics analysis and array studies, we observed a significant decrease in the expression of circFBXW7 in Osimertinib-resistant cell lines. Notably, the abnormal expression pattern of circFBXW7 determined the cellular response to Osimertinib. Functional investigations revealed that circFBXW7 inhibits the renewal of cancer stem cells and resensitizes both resistant LUAD cells and stem cells to Osimertinib. In terms of the underlying mechanism, we discovered that circFBXW7 can be translated into short polypeptides known as circFBXW7-185AA. These polypeptides interact with β-catenin in an m6A-dependent manner. This interaction leads to reduced stability of β-catenin by inducing subsequent ubiquitination, thereby suppressing the activation of canonical Wnt signaling. Additionally, we predicted that the m6A reader, YTHDF3, shares common binding sites with hsa-Let-7d-5p. Enforced expression of Let-7d post-transcriptionally decreases the levels of YTHDF3. The repression of Let-7d by Wnt signaling releases the stimulation of m6A modification by YTHDF3, promoting the translation of circFBXW7-185AA. This creates a positive feedback loop contributing to the cascade of cancer initiation and promotion. CONCLUSIONS Our bench study, in vivo experiments, and clinical validation have unequivocally shown that circFBXW7 effectively inhibits the abilities of LUAD stem cells and reverses resistance to TKIs by modulating Wnt pathway functions through the action of circFBXW7-185AA on β-catenin ubiquitination and inhibition. The regulatory role of circRNA in Osimertinib treatment has been rarely reported, and our findings reveal that this process operates under the influence of m6A modification. These results highlight the tremendous potential of this approach in enhancing therapeutic strategies and overcoming resistance to multiple TKI treatments.

Abstract
Background Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has recently been approved for children aged 3-17 years in China. However, data on long-term humoral responses to inactivated vaccines in children with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are still limited. Methods In this prospective observational study, CHB children after primary inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were recruited consecutively and followed up for 1 year. CHB adults from another cohort study (NCT05007665) were used as a control. The receptor-binding domain IgG antibody (anti-RBD-IgG), neutralizing antibody (NAb), neutralization against Omicron (BA2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5), and memory B -cell (MBC) responses were evaluated. Results Overall, 115 CHB children and 351 CHB adults were included in this analysis. The antibody titers decreased over the first ~180 days and then plateaued up to 1 year in CHB children. However, lower and faster declines in antibody responses were observed in CHB adults. Interestingly, the seroprevalence of antibodies was still high after over 8 months in CHB children (anti-RBD-IgG [90%] and NAbs [83%]). However, neutralization against Omicron subvariants was significantly reduced in CHB children (-3.68-fold to -8.60-fold). Notably, neutralization against the BA.5 subvariant was obviously diminished in CHB children compared with adults. Moreover, CHB children had similar RBD-specific MBCs but higher RBD-specific atypical MBCs compared with adults. Conclusion Inactivated vaccination could elicit more robust and durable antibody responses to the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 strain in CHB children than in CHB adults but showed inferior responses to Omicron subvariants (especially to the BA.5 strain). Hence, new Omicron-related or all-in-one vaccines are needed immediately for CHB children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical characteristics of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) caused by mitochondrial DNA-encoded complex I subunit (mt-ND) variants. METHODS In this retrospective study, the clinical, myopathological and brain MRI features of patients with MELAS caused by mt-ND variants (MELAS-mtND) were collected and compared with those of MELAS patients carrying the m.3243A > G variant (MELAS-A3243G). RESULT A total of 18 MELAS-mtND patients (female: 7; median age: 24.5 years) represented 15.9% (n = 113) of all patients with MELAS caused by mtDNA variants in our neuromuscular center from January 2012 to June 2022. In this MELAS-mtND cohort, the two most common variants were m.10191 T > C (4/18, 22.2%) and m.13513 G > A (3/18, 16.7%). The most frequent symptoms were seizures (14/18, 77.8%) and muscle weakness (11/18, 61.1%). Compared with 87 MELAS-A3243G patients, MELAS-mtND patients were significantly more likely to have a variant that was absent in blood cells (40% vs. 1.4%). Furthermore, MELAS-mtND patients had a significantly lower MDC score (7.8 ± 2.7 vs. 9.8 ± 1.9); less hearing loss (27.8% vs. 54.0%), diabetes (11.1% vs. 37.9%), and migraine (33.3% vs. 62.1%); less short stature (males ≤ 165 cm; females ≤ 155 cm; 23.1% vs. 60.8%) and higher body mass index (20.4 ± 2.5 vs. 17.8 ± 2.7). MELAS-mtND patients had significantly more normal muscle pathology (31.3% vs. 4.1%) and fewer RRFs/RBFs (62.5% vs. 91.9%), COX-deficient fibers/blue fibers (25.0% vs. 85.1%) and SSVs (50.0% vs. 81.1%). Moreover, brain MRI evaluated at the first stroke-like episode showed significantly more small cortical lesions in MELAS-mtND patients (66.7% vs. 12.2%). INTERPRETATION Our results suggested that MELAS-mtND patients have distinct clinical, myopathological and brain MRI features compared with MELAS-A3243G patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent studies have demonstrated that exosomes play roles in pathogenesis and in the treatment of various diseases. We explored the influence of exosomes released from Talaromyces marneffei (T. marneffei)-infected macrophages on human macrophages to determine whether they play a role in the pathogenesis of T. marneffei infection. METHODS Exosomes derived from macrophages infected with T. marneffei were extracted and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and western blot. Moreover, we examined exosomes that modulated IL-10 and TNF-α secretion and activation of p42 and p44 extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) and activation of autophagy. RESULTS We found that exosomes promoted activation of ERK1/2 and autophagy, IL-10 and TNF-α secretion in human macrophages. Further, exosomes decreased the multiplication of T. marneffei in T. marneffei-infected human macrophages. Interestingly, exosomes isolated from T. marneffei-infected but not from uninfected macrophages can stimulate innate immune responses in resting macrophages. CONCLUSION Our studies are the first to demonstrate that exosomes isolated from T. marneffei-infected macrophages can modulate the immune system to control inflammation, and we hypothesize that exosomes play significant roles in activation of ERK1/2 and autophagy, the replication of T. marneffei and cytokine production during T. marneffei infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the predictive effect of TCED-HFV grading and imaging biomarkers on anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS 81 eyes of 81 DME patients who were treated with anti-VEGF were included in this retrospective cohort study. All patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination at baseline and follow-up, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus photography, and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Baseline imaging biomarkers were qualitatively and quantitatively graded according to the TCED-HFV classification protocol, and DME was divided into early stage, advanced stage, severe stage, and atrophy stage. RESULTS Six months post treatment, central subfield thickness (CST) in 49 eyes (60.5%) had decreased by 10% from baseline, 30 eyes (37.0%) had achieved CST < 300 μm, and 45 eyes (55.6%) had BCVA improved by more than five letters. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that eyes with baseline CST ≥ 390 μm had a higher probability of ≥ 10% reduction in CST from baseline, and eyes with abundant hyperreflective dots (HRD) had a lower probability of 10% reduction in CST (all P < 0.05). Eyes with vitreomacular traction (VMT) or epiretinal membrane (ERM) at baseline were less likely to reach the end point of CST < 300 μm (P < 0.05). BCVA increases of more than five letters were less likely in eyes with baseline BCVA ≥ 69 letters, complete or partial destruction of ellipsoid zone (EZ) at baseline (all P < 0.05). TCED-HFV staging was negatively correlated with BCVA at both baseline and 6 months (Kendall's tau-b=-0.39 and - 0.55, all P < 0.01). TCED-HFV staging was positively correlated with CST at 6 months (Kendall's tau-b = 0.19, P = 0.049) and negatively correlated with the reduction of CST (Kendall's tau-b=-0.32, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The TCED-HFV grading protocol facilitates a comprehensive assessment of DME severity, standardizes the grading of multiple imaging biomarkers, and predicts the anatomical and functional outcomes of anti-VEGF treatment.

Abstract
An ischemic stroke usually causes blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage and excessive oxidative stress (OS) levels. Kinsenoside (KD), a major effective compound extracted in Chinese herbal medicine Anoectochilus roxburghii (Orchidaceae), has anti-OS effects. The present study focused on exploring KD's protection against OS-mediated cerebral endothelial cell damage and BBB damage within the mouse model. Intracerebroventricular administration of KD upon reperfusion after 1 h ischemia decreased infarct volumes, neurological deficit, brain edema, neuronal loss, and apoptosis 72 h post-ischemic stroke. KD improved BBB structure and function, as evidenced by a lower 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose pass rate of the BBB and upregulation of tight junction (TJ) proteins such as occludin, claudin-5, and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). KD protected bEnd.3 endothelial cells from oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury in an in-vitro study. Meanwhile, OGD/R reduced transepithelial electronic resistance, whereas KD significantly increased TJ protein levels. Furthermore, based on in-vivo and in-vitro research, KD alleviated OS in endothelial cells, which is related to nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 (Nrf2) nuclear translocation as well as Nrf2/haem oxygenase 1 signaling protein stimulation. Our findings demonstrated that KD might serve as a potential compound for treating ischemic stroke involving antioxidant mechanisms.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Breast cancer has been the most commonly-diagnosed cancer worldwide, and the treatment and prognosis of which are often limited by breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Litchi seeds have shown good anti-cancer activity in various cancers including prostate cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer. However, the activity and underlying mechanism of Litchi seeds against BCSCs remain unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the activity and mechanism of total flavonoids of litchi seed (TFLS) against BCSCs in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two orthotopic xenograft mouse models were established using HCC1806 cells pretreated or untreated with TFLS to determine whether TFLS could target BCSCs in vivo. Mammosphere formation and flow cytometry assays were employed to evaluate the effect of TFLS on BCSCs in vitro. The underlying mechanism was investigated using RT-qPCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence experiments. RESULTS TFLS could significantly inhibit the viability of HCC1806, MCF-7 and HCC1937 cells in vitro and suppress the growth of HCC1806 cells in vivo. TFLS attenuated stem cell-like properties of breast cancer through reducing the percentage of CD44+CD24-/low cells, inhibiting the mammospheres formation and down-regulating the mRNA and protein levels of cancer stem cells related markers (Oct4, Nanog, Sox2) in MCF-7 and HCC1806 cells. Meanwhile, TFLS suppressed the tumor-initiating ability of BCSCs via reducing the percentage of CD44+CD24-/low cells in tumor and lowering tumor incidence rate in orthotopic xenograft mice. In addition, TFLS treatments restricted the expression and nuclear translocation of Notch3, subsequently down-regulated Hes1 and Runx2 expressions. CONCLUSIONS TFLS could suppress the growth of breast cancer and eliminate breast cancer stem cells by inhibiting the Notch3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
People living with HIV (PLWH) have poor outcomes from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2); vaccination reduces the associated mortality. The humoral immune response dynamics after booster inactivated vaccinations in PLWH remain unclear. In this longitudinal observational study, 100 PLWH after primary inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination were consecutively recruited and followed up. After booster vaccination (BV), neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) were detected at 1 month from all the PLWH, and the titer increased sixfold compared to that associated with the primary vaccination (PV), similar to that in healthy controls after BV. The NAbs titer declined over time after BV, but remained higher at 6 months than after PV. The NAbs response was elevated after BV with CD4 count <200 cells/μL, it was the poorest among the different CD4 cell count subgroups. Similar results were observed for anti-RBD-IgG responses. Moreover, RBD-specific MBCs were significantly elevated after BV in PLWH. No serious AEs were observed after BV in PLWH. In conclusion, booster inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is well tolerated and can elicit robust and durable humoral responses in PLWH. PLWH may benefit from a third dose of the inactivated vaccine.

Abstract
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance is an optimal therapeutic endpoint, as it reflects the amount of covalently closed circular DNA. The exact mechanisms that contribute to HBsAg reduction are not completely understood. We evaluated adaptive immunity in nucleoside analog-experienced chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with low HBsAg levels who received oral antiviral therapy. One hundred and ninety-five CHB patients had hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA ≤ 1000 IU/ml and HBsAg < 3000 IU/ml for longer than one year of antiviral therapy. According to HBsAg levels, they were divided into Group 1 (HBsAg reduction ≥ 0.5 log10) and Group 2 (HBsAg reduction < 0.5 log10). Cytokines, adaptive immune cells, and molecular markers in peripheral blood were detected at follow-up times. In total, 38 (19.5%) of the 195 patients achieved HBsAg reduction ≥ 0.5 log10. IL4, IL5, IL10, TGF β, IL17, and PD-1 decreased gradually in these patients. HBsAg reduction had a link to the change in ICOSL+CD19+ B cells and CD40L+CXCR5+CD4+ Tfh cells. More CD8+ naive T lymphocytes differentiated into CD4+ TCMs, CD8+ TCMs and CD8+ TEMs in Group 1. Meanwhile, Group 1 exhibited elevated Th1 and Th1/Th2 levels and reduced levels of Treg versus those in Group 2. With the reduction in HBsAg, the imbalance of T-cell subsets was partially corrected; the immune activity of T cells was enhanced, and the state of immune exhaustion was alleviated to a certain extent.

Abstract
Given the pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron variants, booster vaccination (BV) using inactivated virus vaccines (the third dose) has been implemented in China. However, the immune responses after BV, especially those against Omicron, in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (CHB) are unclear. In this prospective longitudinal study, 114 patients with CHB and 68 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited after receiving inactivated vaccination. The anti-receptor-binding domain (RBD) immunoglobulin G (IgG), neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), neutralization against Omicron (BA2.12.1, BA.4/5), and specific B/T cells were evaluated. In patients, anti-RBD IgG was elevated significantly after BV; the titers were as high as those in HCs. Similar results were obtained for the NAbs. However, compared with that against wild type (WT), the neutralization against Omicron was compromised after BV. The frequency of RBD+ atypical memory B cells increased, but spike-specific cluster of differentiation 4+ /8+ T cells remained unchanged after BV. Moreover, no serious adverse events or HBV reactivation were observed after BV. These results suggest that BV significantly enhanced antibody responses against WT; however, it resulted in compromised antibody responses against Omicron in patients with CHB. Hence, new all-in-one vaccines and optimal vaccination strategies should be studied promptly. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined the safety and efficacy of coadministration of CD19- and CD22-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in patients with refractory disease or high-risk hematologic or isolated extramedullary relapse of B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS This phase II trial enrolled 225 evaluable patients age ≤ 20 years between September 17, 2019, and December 31, 2021. We first conducted a safety run-in stage to determine the recommended dose. After interim analysis of the first 30 patients treated (27 at the recommended dose) showing that the treatment was safe and effective, the study enrolled additional patients according to the study design. RESULTS Complete remission was achieved in 99.0% of the 194 patients with refractory leukemia or hematologic relapse, all negative for minimal residual disease. Their overall 12-month event-free survival (EFS) was 73.5% (95% CI, 67.3 to 80.3). Relapse occurred in 43 patients (24 with CD19+/CD22+ relapse, 16 CD19-/CD22+, one CD19-/CD22-, and two unknown). Consolidative transplantation and persistent B-cell aplasia at 6 months were associated with favorable outcomes. The 12-month EFS was 85.0% (95% CI, 77.2 to 93.6) for the 78 patients treated with transplantation and 69.2% (95% CI, 60.8 to 78.8) for the 116 nontransplanted patients (P = .03, time-dependent covariate Cox model). All 25 patients with persistent B-cell aplasia at 6 months remained in remission at 12 months. The 12-month EFS for the 20 patients with isolated testicular relapse was 95.0% (95% CI, 85.9 to 100), and for the 10 patients with isolated CNS relapse, it was 68.6% (95% CI, 44.5 to 100). Cytokine release syndrome developed in 198 (88.0%) patients, and CAR T-cell neurotoxicity in 47 (20.9%), resulting in three deaths. CONCLUSION CD19-/CD22-CAR T-cell therapy achieved relatively durable remission in children with relapsed or refractory B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, including those with isolated or combined extramedullary relapse.

Abstract
Background and objectiveLifestyle modifications aimed at weight loss have been introduced as a cornerstone of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) management. However, very few patients follow the doctor's prescription to change their lifestyle to achieve weight loss in the real world. The purpose of this study was to use the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model to examine the factors that affect adherence to lifestyle prescriptions among patients with NAFLD.MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with patients with NAFLD. Reflexive thematic analysis and framework analysis were used to determine naturally identified themes and allocate them to theoretically driven domains.ResultsThirty adult patients with NAFLD were interviewed, and the identified themes were mapped directly onto the constructs of the HAPA model. This study revealed that key barriers to adhering to lifestyle prescriptions are related to the coping strategy and outcome expectation constructs of the HAPA model. For physical activity, conditional limits, lack of time, symptoms such as fatigue and poor physical fitness, and fear of sports injury are the primary barriers. Barriers to diet are mainly diet environment, mental stress, and food cravings. Key facilitators for adherence to lifestyle prescriptions include developing simple and specific action plans, coping strategies to flexibly deal with obstacles and difficulties, receiving regular feedback from doctors to improve self-efficacy, and using regular tests and behavior recording to enhance action control.ConclusionsFuture lifestyle intervention programs should pay particular attention to the planning, self-efficacy, and action control-related constructors of the HAPA model to promote the adherence of patients with NAFLD to lifestyle prescriptions.

Abstract
Degradable bone cement has superior osteoconductivity and plasticity and is commonly used to treat defects greater than the critical-size. Magnesium gallate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Mg-MOF), with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, are doped into a composite cement composed of calcium sulfate, calcium citrate, and dicalcium hydrogen phosphate anhydrous (CS/CC/DCPA). The doping of the Mg-MOF slightly influences the microstructure and curing properties of the composite cement, with the mechanical strength of the cement displaying a significant increase from 27 to 32 MPa. Antibacterial tests reveal that the Mg-MOF bone cement has excellent antibacterial characteristics and can effectively inhibit bacterial growth in 4 h (Staphyloccocus aureus survival rate <10%). Herein, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage models are used to investigate the anti-inflammatory characteristics of composite cement. The Mg-MOF bone cement can regulate the inflammatory factors and polarization of macrophages (M1 and M2). In addition, the composite cement promotes cell proliferation and osteo-differentiation of mBMSCs, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase and calcium nodules are increased. The bone related transcription factor and specific proteins, such as runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), bone morphogenetic protein 2, osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), and collagen type 1 (COL1), were highly expressed by the Mg-MOF bone cements. Therefore, Mg-MOF doped CS/CC/DCPA bone cement is multifunctional for bone repair, which will promote bone formation and avoid the infection of wounds, and it is suitable for use with non-load-bearing bone defects.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Belimumab improved kidney outcomes in patients with active lupus nephritis (LN) in BLISS-LN, leading to its approval in the United States and the European Union. As data on treatment of East Asian patients with LN are limited, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of belimumab in the BLISS-LN East Asian subgroup. STUDY DESIGN Prespecified subgroup analysis of BLISS-LN, a phase 3, placebo-controlled, randomized 104-week trial. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Adults with biopsy-proven, active LN were randomized (1:1) to belimumab or placebo, plus standard therapy. INTERVENTION Patients were administered intravenous belimumab 10mg/kg, or placebo, plus standard therapy (oral glucocorticoids and either cyclophosphamide for induction followed by azathioprine for maintenance, or mycophenolate mofetil for both induction and maintenance). At the investigator's discretion, 1-3 intravenous pulses of methylprednisolone, 500-1,000mg each, could be administered during induction. OUTCOMES The primary end point was primary efficacy renal response (PERR; ie, urinary protein-creatinine ratio≤0.7g/g, estimated glomerular filtration rate no more than 20% below preflare value or≥60mL/min/1.73m2, and no treatment failure) at week 104. Key secondary end points included complete renal response (CRR; urinary protein-creatinine ratio<0.5g/g, estimated glomerular filtration rate no more than 10% below preflare value or≥90mL/min/1.73m2, and no treatment failure) at week 104; PERR at week 52; time to kidney-related event or death; and safety. ANALYTICAL APPROACH PERR and CRR were analyzed using a logistic regression model, and time to a kidney-related event or death was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS 142 patients from mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan were included (belimumab, n=74; placebo, n=68). At week 104, more belimumab than placebo patients achieved PERR (53% vs 37%; OR, 1.76 [95% CI, 0.88-3.51]) and CRR (35% vs 25%; OR, 1.73 [95% CI, 0.80-3.74]). At week 52, more belimumab than placebo patients achieved PERR (62% vs 37%; OR, 2.74 [95% CI, 1.33-5.64]). Belimumab reduced the risk of a kidney-related event or death compared with placebo at any time (HR, 0.37 [95% CI, 0.15-0.91]). Safety was similar across treatment groups. LIMITATIONS Small sample size and lack of formal significance testing. CONCLUSIONS Safety and efficacy profiles were consistent with BLISS-LN overall population, supporting benefits of belimumab treatment in the East Asian subgroup with LN. FUNDING This study was funded by GSK (GSK study no. BEL114054). TRIAL REGISTRATION Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with study number NCT01639339.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nearly 90% children with cancer reside in low- and middle-income countries, which face multiple challenges delivering high-quality pediatric onco-critical care (POCC). We recently identified POCC quality and capacity indicators for PROACTIVE (PediatRic Oncology cApaCity assessment Tool for IntensiVe carE), a tool that evaluates strengths and limitations in POCC services. This study describes pilot testing of PROACTIVE, development of center-specific reports, and identification of common POCC challenges. METHODS The original 119 consensus-derived PROACTIVE indicators were converted into 182 questions divided between 2 electronic surveys for intensivists and oncologists managing critically ill pediatric cancer patients. Alpha-testing was conducted to confirm face-validity with four pediatric intensivists. Eleven centers representing diverse geographic regions, income levels, and POCC services conducted beta-testing to evaluate usability, feasibility, and applicability of PROACTIVE. Centers' responses were scored and indicators with mean scores ≤75% in availability/performance were classified as common POCC challenges. RESULTS Alpha-testing ensured face-validity and beta-testing demonstrated feasibility and usability of PROACTIVE (October 2020-June 2021). Twenty-two surveys (response rate 99.4%) were used to develop center-specific reports. Adjustments to PROACTIVE were made based on focus group feedback and surveys, resulting in 200 questions. Aggregated data across centers identified common POCC challenges: (1) lack of pediatric intensivists, (2) absence of abstinence and withdrawal symptoms monitoring, (3) shortage of supportive care resources, and (4) limited POCC training for physicians and nurses. CONCLUSIONS PROACTIVE is a feasible and contextually appropriate tool to help clinicians and organizations identify challenges in POCC services across a wide range of resource-levels. Widespread use of PROACTIVE can help prioritize and develop tailored interventions to strengthen POCC services and outcomes globally.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between balloon volume and Meckel's cave size during percutaneous puncture microballoon compression (PMC) for trigeminal neuralgia and the influence of the compression coefficient (the ratio of balloon volume/Meckel's cave size) on the prognosis. Methods: Seventy-two patients (28 males and 44 females) aged (62±11) years who underwent PMC under general anesthesia for trigeminal neuralgia in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2018 to October 2020 were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent preoperative cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure Meckel's cave size, intraoperative balloon volume was recorded, and the compression coefficient was calculated. Follow-up visits were performed preoperatively (T0) and 1 d (T1), 1 month (T2), 3 months (T3), and 6 months (T4) postoperatively, either in the outpatient clinic or by telephone, and the Barrow Neurological Institute pain scale (BNI-P) score, the Barrow Neurological Institute facial numbness (BNI-N) score and the occurrence of complications were recorded and compared at each time point. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to different prognoses: patients in group A (n=48) were with no recurrence of pain and mild facial numbness, patients in group B (n=19) were with no recurrence of pain but severe facial numbness, while those in group C (n=5) had recurrence of pain. The differences in balloon volume, Meckel's cave size, and compression coefficient were compared among the three groups, and the correlation between balloon volume and Meckel's cave size in each group was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results: The effective rate of PMC for trigeminal neuralgia was 93.1% (67/72). At time points from T0 to T4, patients had BNI-P scores [M (Q1, Q3)] of 4.5 (4.0, 5.0), 1.0 (1.0, 1.0), 1.0 (1.0, 1.0), 1.0 (1.0, 1.0) and 1.0 (1.0, 1.0), and BNI-N scores [M (Q1, Q3)] of 1.0 (1.0, 1.0), 4.0 (3.0, 4.0), 3.0 (3.0, 4.0), 3.0 (2.0, 4.0) and 2.0 (2.0, 3.0), respectively. Compared with those at T0, patients had lower BNI-P scores and higher BNI-N scores from T1 to T4 (all P<0.05). In all patients, group A, group B, and group C, the balloon volume was (0.65±0.15), (0.67±0.15), (0.59±0.15) and (0.67±0.17) cm3, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05), while the Meckel's cave size was (0.42±0.12), (0.44±0.11), (0.32±0.07), and (0.57±0.11) cm3, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The balloon volumes and Meckel's cave sizes were all linearly and positively correlated (r=0.852, 0.924, 0.937 and 0.969, all P<0.05). The compression coefficient in group A, B and C was (1.54±0.14), (1.84±0.18) and (1.18±0.10), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). There were no serious intraoperative complications such as death, diplopia, arteriovenous fistula, cerebrospinal fluid leak, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conclusions: Intraoperative balloon volume during PMC for trigeminal neuralgia is linearly and positively correlated with the volume of the patient's Meckel's cave. The compression coefficient varies among patients with different prognoses and the compression coefficient may be a factor affecting the patient's prognosis.

Abstract
The land-sea breeze circulation significantly impacts the atmospheric transport of organic aerosols in coastal regions. However, the links between organic aerosols and land-sea breezes remain poorly understood. In this study, organic marker compounds for biomass burning, primary biological aerosols, biogenic and anthropogenic secondary organic aerosols (SOA) in fine particles from a coastal city in East China were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Land-sea breeze circulations were identified to explore their potential influence on organic molecular compositions. Organic marker compounds showed obvious diurnal/seasonal patterns. Surprisingly, due to the combined influence of weakened East Asian monsoons and land-sea breezes, all detected organic markers decreased except α/β-pinene SOA markers during land-sea breeze periods in early autumn; whereas, all the organic markers increased except α/β-pinene SOA markers, pollen and plant debris markers during land-sea breeze periods in early spring. Furthermore, the reaction pathway and aging of biogenic SOA were also related to land-sea breezes. During the land-sea breeze periods, the ratios of 2-methylglyceric acid (2-MGA) to 2-methyltetrols increased in early autumn, indicating that more isoprene-derived SOA generated from the high-NOx (nitrogen oxides) pathway when the land-sea breezes occurred; while the ratios decreased in early spring, this may be related to the chemical transformation of 2-MGA to 2-MGA sulfates. Changes in the ratio of monoterpene SOA markers demonstrate that monoterpene SOA was relatively aged during sea breeze periods, while it was fresher when the land breeze occurred. Although boundary layer height, emissions, gas/particle partitioning, etc. are important reasons for the diurnal variations of organic aerosols, night/day ratios of molecular markers increased obviously when land-sea breezes occurred in both early autumn and early spring. Our results provide new insights into the shift in the chemical composition of organic aerosols over coastal areas that are influenced by land-sea breezes.

Abstract
Purpose
Faultline literature has been extensively examined for its effect on various outcomes. Barring a few exceptions, this research has primarily inferred the adverse impact of such splits. The purpose of this theoretical paper is to assert that these divisions can also be formed based on positive psychological capacities, which will cause a divide, but eventually help increase performance.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper offers a conceptual model that links employee psychological capital with the faultline literature and suggests its impact on team performance. It also explores the positive moderating effect of time and team goal orientation.
Findings
The study asserts that there will be an initial divide, but the positive faultlines will improve team performance. Several propositions are formulated that provide the opportunity for further examination.
Originality
This paper makes a contemporary and important conceptual contribution to the faultline literature by proposing a new notion: “positive faultlines.” To view the effect of faultlines from a positive perspective, a pioneering endeavor is made to explore the impact of employees’ psychological capital in teams. By integrating the faultline literature with positive organizational behavior, this study offers an alternative line of thinking on team compositional dynamics.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of Wendler Glottoplasty to elevate vocal pitch in transgender women. Methods: The voice parameters of pre-and 3-month post-surgery of 29 transgender women who underwent Wendler Glottoplasty in department of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery of Beijing Friendship Hospital from January, 2017 to October, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The 29 transgender women ranged in age from 19-47 (27.0±6.3) years old. Subjective evaluation was performed using Transsexual Voice Questionnaire for Male to Female (TVQMtF). Objective parameters included fundamental frequency (F0), highest pitch, lowest pitch, habitual volume, Jitter, Shimmer, maximal phonation time (MPT), noise to harmonic ratio (NHR) and formants frequencies(F1, F2, F3, F4). SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistically analysis. Results: Three months after surgery, the score of TVQMtF was significantly decreased [(89.9±14.7) vs. (50.4±13.6), t=11.49, P<0.001]. The F0 was significantly elevated [(152.7±23.3) Hz vs. (207.7±45.9) Hz, t=-6.03, P<0.001]. Frequencies of F1, F2 and F3 were significantly elevated. No statistical difference was observed in the frequencies of F4. The highest pitch was not significantly altered while the lowest pitch was significantly elevated [(96.8±17.7) Hz vs. (120.0±28.9) Hz, t=-3.71, P=0.001]. Habitual speech volume was significantly increased [(60.0±5.2) dB vs. (63.6±9.6) dB, t=-2.12, P=0.043]. Jitter, Shimmer, NHR and MPT were not obviously altered (P>0.05). Conclusions: Wendler Glottoplasty could notably elevate the vocal pitch, formants frequencies and degree of vocal femininity in transgender women without affecting phonation ability and voice quality. It can be an effective treatment modality for voice feminization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been reported to be more susceptible to 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and more likely to develop severe pneumonia. However, the safety and immunological responses of T2DM patients after receiving the inactivated vaccines are not quite definite. Therefore, we aimed to explore the safety, antibody responses, and B-cell immunity of T2DM patients who were vaccinated with inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. METHODS Eighty-nine patients with T2DM and 100 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled, all of whom had received two doses of full-course inactivated vaccines. At 21-105 days after full-course vaccines: first, the safety of the vaccines was assessed by questionnaires; second, the titers of anti-receptor binding domain IgG (anti-RBD-IgG) and neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) were measured; third, we detected the frequency of RBD-specific memory B cells (RBD-specific MBCs) to explore the cellular immunity of T2DM patients. RESULTS The overall incidence of adverse events was similar between T2DM patients and HCs, and no serious adverse events were recorded in either group. Compared with HCs, significantly lower titers of anti-RBD-IgG (p = 0.004) and NAbs (p = 0.013) were observed in T2DM patients. Moreover, the frequency of RBD-specific MBCs was lower in T2DM patients than in HCs (p = 0.027). Among the 89 T2DM patients, individuals with lower body mass index (BMI) had higher antibody titers (anti-RBD-IgG: p = 0.009; NAbs: p = 0.084). Furthermore, we found that sex, BMI, and days after vaccination were correlated with antibody titers. CONCLUSIONS Inactivated COVID-19 vaccines were safe in patients with T2DM, but the antibody responses and memory B-cell responses were significantly decreased compared to HCs.

Abstract
Introduction Sanmen nuclear power plant (SNPP) operates the first advanced passive (AP1000) nuclear power unit in China. Methods To assess the radiological impacts of SNPP operation on the surrounding environment and the public health, annual effective dose (AED) and excess risk (ER) were estimated based on continuous radioactivity monitoring in drinking water and ambient dose before and after its operation during 2014-2021. In addition, the residents' cancer incidence was further analyzed through authorized health data collection. Results The results showed that the gross α and gross β radioactivity in all types of drinking water were ranged from 0.008 to 0.017 Bq/L and 0.032 to 0.112 Bq/L, respectively. The cumulative ambient dose in Sanmen county ranged from 0.254 to 0.460 mSv/y, with an average of 0.354 ± 0.075 mSv/y. There is no statistical difference in drinking water radioactivity and ambient dose before and after the operation of SNPP according to Mann-Whitney U test. The Mann-Kendall test also indicates there is neither increasing nor decreasing trend during the period from 2014 to 2021. The age-dependent annual effective doses due to the ingestion of drinking water or exposure to the outdoor ambient environment are lower than the recommended threshold of 0.1 mSv/y. The incidence of cancer (include leukemia and thyroid cancer) in the population around SNPP is slightly higher than that in other areas, while it is still in a stable state characterized by annual percentage changes. Discussion The current comprehensive results show that the operation of SNPP has so far no evident radiological impact on the surrounding environment and public health, but continued monitoring is still needed in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains unclear what B cell and humoral responses are mounted by chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in response to recombinant and inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. In this study, we aimed to explore the cellular and humoral responses, and the safety of recombinant and inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in CKD patients. METHODS 79 CKD and 420 non-CKD individuals, who completed a full course of vaccination, were enrolled in the study. Adverse events (AEs) were collected via a questionnaire. Cellular and humoral responses were detected at 1, 3, and 6 months, including IgG antibody against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (anti-RBD-IgG), neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), the positive rate of NAbs and anti-RBD-IgG, RBD-atypical memory B cells (MBCs) (CD3 - CD19 + RBD + CD21 - CD27-), RBD-activated MBCs (CD3 - CD19 + RBD + CD21 - CD27+), RBD-resting MBCs (CD3 - CD19 + RBD + CD21 + CD27+), and RBD-intermediate MBCs (CD3 - CD19 + RBD + CD21 + CD27-). RESULTS We found no differences in the positivity rates of NAbs (70.89% vs. 79.49%, p = 0.212) and anti-RBD IgG (72.15% vs. 83.33%, p = 0.092) between the CKD and control groups. A total of 22 CKD individuals completed the full follow-up (1, 3, and 6 months). Significant and sustained declines were found at 3 months in anti-RBD IgG (26.64 BAU/mL vs. 9.08 BAU/mL, p < 0.001) and NAbs (161.60 IU/mL vs. 68.45 IU/mL p < 0.001), and at 6 months in anti-RBD IgG (9.08 BAU/mL vs. 5.40 BAU/mL, p = 0.064) and NAbs (68.45 IU/mL vs. 51.03 IU/mL, p = 0.001). Significant differences were identified in MBC subgroups between CKD patients and healthy controls, including RBD-specific atypical MBCs (60.5% vs. 17.9%, p < 0.001), RBD-specific activated MBCs (36.3% vs. 14.8%, p < 0.001), RBD-specific intermediate MBCs (1.24% vs. 42.6%, p < 0.001), and resting MBCs (1.34% vs. 22.4%, p < 0.001). Most AEs in CKD patients were mild (grade 1 and 2) and self-limiting. One patient with CKD presented with a recurrence of nephrotic syndrome after vaccination. CONCLUSIONS The recombinant and inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was well-tolerated and showed a good response in the CKD cohort. Our study also revealed differences in MBC subtypes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination between CKD patients and healthy controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium marinum is a nontuberculous mycobacterium and a conditional pathogen to humans, which can be inoculated directly and cause chronic skin granulomas. Dermoscopy has been applied to other granulomatous skin diseases, but not to M. marinum infection. AIM To explore the dermoscopic features of M. marinum infection, and its correlation with clinical and histopathological features. METHODS In total, 27 lesions from 27 patients (19 women, 8 men, age range 28-71 years) diagnosed with M. marinum infection were identified by clinical examination, histopathological results, PCR sequencing and mycobacterial culture in the dermatology outpatient department of our hospital from March 2020 to February 2022. The dermoscopy images and pathological characteristics were analysed. RESULTS Lesions were located on the hands, forearms and upper arms. The following dermoscopic features were observed: yellowish-orange structureless areas (85·2%), white striped structures (59·3%), follicular plugs (29·6%), yellowish oval clods (14·8%) and reddish or pinkish areas (14·8%). Vessel structures were visible in all cases: long hairpin vessels (81·5%), corkscrew vessels (25·9%), comma-shaped vessels (22·2%) and linear vessels (22·2%). CONCLUSION Yellowish-orange structureless areas, white striped structures and long hairpin vessels are the most common dermoscopic features of M. marinum infection. Thus, dermoscopy could be used as a noninvasive auxiliary diagnostic method to provide a diagnostic basis for this disease.

Abstract
Background Our study aimed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the third (booster) dose of the COVID-19 vaccine for patients with endocrine-related cancers. Methods This observational study involved 94 breast cancer patients, 92 thyroid cancer patients, and 123 healthy individuals who had received the third (booster) dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Data on the adverse effects, serum anti-receptor binding domain (RBD)-immunoglobulin (Ig) G, and neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) were collected prospectively. Results The serum anti-RBD-IgG and NAb titers were significantly lower for the patients with endocrine-related malignancies than for the healthy controls (3.01 [IQR: 1.11-6.70] vs. 4.19 [1.95-9.11], p = 0.001; 0.23 [0.11-0.52] vs. 0.41 [0.22-0.78], p = 0.001), and the seroconversion rates of anti-RBD-IgG and NAbs showed similar results. The serum antibody titers and seroconversion rates were significantly lower for patients aged ≥65 years with endocrine-related cancers, but there were no significant differences related to gender, vaccine type, or cancer type. Subgroup analysis showed that the antibody titers and seroconversion rates were significantly lower for patients with intermediate to advanced breast cancer, HR-/Her2+ breast cancer, and breast cancer undergoing treatment than for healthy controls. In contrast, breast cancer patients who completed their treatment and those who received endocrine therapy after completing their treatment were not significantly different from healthy controls. The NAbs titers and seroconversion rates were significantly lower for patients with primary thyroid cancer (0.19 [IQR: 0.10-0.46] vs. 0.41 [0.22-0.78], p = 0.003; 55.9 vs. 84.9%, p < 0.001); the seroconversion rates were significantly higher for the patients with combined Hashimoto's thyroiditis than for those without it. Multiple linear regression showed that patients aged ≥65 years who were receiving treatment were at risk of having lower antibody levels. Conclusion The third (booster) dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and well-tolerated. Our data support a third (booster) dose of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine for breast and thyroid cancer patients. Breast cancer patients aged ≥65 years who are receiving treatment should be more protected, while thyroid cancer and breast cancer patients who have completed their treatment can be vaccinated like the general population.

Abstract
Data on the dynamic changes in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) during antiviral therapy are scarce. We aimed to investigate the evolution of NAFLD status change in CHB patients treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) and its influence on therapeutic outcomes. This retrospective study included 164 HBeAg-positive CHB patients from a randomized controlled trial who were treated with NAs for 104 weeks and underwent paired liver biopsies. Histological evaluation was performed at baseline and Week 104. The patients were divided into four groups according to NAFLD status changes. From baseline to Week 104, the overall percentage of CHB patients with concurrent NAFLD increased from 17.1% to 26.2% (p = 0.044). Among them, 7 of 28 patients (25.0%) with NAFLD at baseline showed NAFLD remission at week 104, while 22 of 136 patients (16.2%) without NAFLD at baseline developed new-onset NAFLD. In subgroup analyses, the new-onset and sustained NAFLD groups showed significantly lower rates of biochemical response at week 104 as compared to the sustained non-NAFLD group (77.3% and 57.1% vs. 93.9%, respectively; all p < 0.05), as well as fibrosis improvement (31.8% and 42.9% vs. 69.3%, respectively; all p < 0.05). NAFLD status changes did not influence the virological response, HBeAg seroconversion, and necroinflammation improvement (all p > 0.05). In HBeAg-positive CHB patients receiving NAs therapy, new-onset and sustained NAFLD may counteract the benefits of antiviral therapy, reducing the rate of biochemical response and fibrosis improvement.

Abstract
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histological lesion with a variety of potential causes, including rare variants of podocyte-related genes. Recently, it has been found that variants in the TBC1D8B gene on the X chromosome can lead to early-onset focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome by affecting endocytosis and recycling of nephrin. Here, we report a 19-year-old Chinese patient with nephrotic syndrome and normal kidney function. He had a complete remission of nephrotic syndrome after full-dose prednisone and cyclosporine treatment. Unfortunately, a relapse of nephrotic syndrome occurred during prednisone tapering. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis was proven by a kidney biopsy, and a hemizygous pathogenic variant located in the TBC (Tre-2-Bub2-Cdc16) domain of TBC1D8B was detected by whole-exome sequencing. By comparing our case with reports of other patients with TBC1D8B variants, we suggest possible genotype-phenotype correlations. To our knowledge, this is the first report identifying a pathogenetic variant in the TBC domain of TBC1D8B in an adult-onset focal segmental glomerulosclerosis patient with steroid-dependent NS. With this report, we broaden the clinical and genetic spectrum of X-linked genetic FSGS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The number of children on prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) has increased markedly, but little is known about the situation in mainland China. We carried out a multicenter retrospective investigation to describe the clinical characteristics and prognosis of Chinese children receiving long-term ventilation in the PICU. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in 11 PICUs. All participating patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation in the study were retrospectively identified and included from cases admitted to PICUs between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019. RESULTS A total of 346 children diagnosed with prolonged mechanical ventilation were included in the study. Overall, 240 survived and were discharged from PICU, 55 died in hospital, and 51 withdrew from mechanical ventilation support with 41 died after discharge. Lower airway diseases were the most common underlying causes (41.6%), followed by central nervous system diseases (29.5%), and neuromuscular diseases (13.3%). Most children (327, 94.5%) received invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and only 19 (5.5%) children received noninvasive ventilation (NIV). The median time of tracheostomy after ventilation was 21 days (15-35). Children with tracheostomy had lower mortality with longer PICU stay compared with patients without tracheostomy. Children who underwent tracheostomy were more likely to have central nervous system diseases and neuromuscular diseases. CONCLUSION This study showed a steady increase in the number of children receiving prolonged mechanical ventilation during the study period in Chinese PICUs with distinct clinical characteristics and outcomes. A better community-based care for PMV children is needed in mainland China.
