Abstract
Despite the known benefits of data-driven approaches, the lack of approaches for identifying functional neuroimaging patterns that capture both individual variations and inter-subject correspondence limits the clinical utility of rsfMRI and its application to single-subject analyses. Here, using rsfMRI data from over 100k individuals across private and public datasets, we identify replicable multi-spatial-scale canonical intrinsic connectivity network (ICN) templates via the use of multi-model-order independent component analysis (ICA). We also study the feasibility of estimating subject-specific ICNs via spatially constrained ICA. The results show that the subject-level ICN estimations vary as a function of the ICN itself, the data length, and the spatial resolution. In general, large-scale ICNs require less data to achieve specific levels of (within- and between-subject) spatial similarity with their templates. Importantly, increasing data length can reduce an ICN's subject-level specificity, suggesting longer scans may not always be desirable. We also find a positive linear relationship between data length and spatial smoothness (possibly due to averaging over intrinsic dynamics), suggesting studies examining optimized data length should consider spatial smoothness. Finally, consistency in spatial similarity between ICNs estimated using the full data and subsets across different data lengths suggests lower within-subject spatial similarity in shorter data is not wholly defined by lower reliability in ICN estimates, but may be an indication of meaningful brain dynamics which average out as data length increases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy significantly improved event-free survival (EFS) and pathologic complete response (pCR) versus chemotherapy alone in patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the global phase III CheckMate 816 study. Here, we report post hoc exploratory efficacy, safety, and surgical outcomes in the Chinese subpopulation of this study. METHODS Adults with stage IB-IIIA resectable NSCLC were randomized to receive nivolumab 360 mg plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone every 3 weeks for three cycles followed by surgery. Primary endpoints included EFS and pCR (both per blinded independent review). EFS and pCR results were from 14 October 2022, and 16 September 2020, database locks, respectively. RESULTS The Chinese subpopulation comprised 97 patients (nivolumab plus chemotherapy, 44; chemotherapy, 53). At 38.2 months of minimum follow-up, median EFS was not reached [95% confidence interval (CI) 23.4 months-not reached] in the nivolumab plus chemotherapy arm and 13.9 months (95% CI 8.3-34.3 months) in the chemotherapy arm (hazard ratio 0.47, 95% CI 0.25-0.88). pCR rates were 25.0% (95% CI 13.2% to 40.3%) and 1.9% (95% CI 0.0% to 10.1%), respectively (odds ratio 11.05; 95% CI 1.41-86.49). Of 97 Chinese patients, 36 (82%) in the nivolumab plus chemotherapy arm and 41 (77%) in the chemotherapy arm underwent definitive surgery. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 18/43 patients (42%) treated with nivolumab plus chemotherapy and 22/53 patients (42%) treated with chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Consistent with findings in the global study population of CheckMate 816, neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy improved EFS and pCR versus chemotherapy in the Chinese subpopulation without impacting treatment tolerability or the feasibility of surgery. These findings support the use of nivolumab plus chemotherapy as a standard neoadjuvant treatment option for Chinese patients with resectable NSCLC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As the proportion of aging adults increases and inguinal hernia repair becomes increasingly popular as a day surgery, the demand for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair as a day surgery is increasing among patients aged 80 years and older. Relevant research needs to be completed, so we aimed to evaluate laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair as a 24-h day surgery for this group of patients. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we utilized propensity score matching to analyze the data of patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair at a day surgery center between January 1, 2019, and March 1, 2022. Patients were divided into ≥ 80 years old and < 80 years old groups. We compared the perioperative laboratory results, perioperative outcomes, and 1-year complications between the two groups. RESULT A total of 554 patients were included in the study. After propensity score matching, 292 patients were included in the matched cohort (98 patients in the ≥ 80 years old group and 194 patients in the < 80 years old group). During hospitalization, there were significant differences in ASA classification, Caprini score, length of hospital stays, risk of thrombosis, and delayed discharge rate. No significant difference was found in the incidence of total postoperative complications between the two groups at the 1-year follow-up (HR: 0.96, 95% CI 0.36-2.54, P = 0.96). CONCLUSION In our study, LIHR as a 24-h day surgery was safe and effective for patients over 80 years old. However, to reduce the rate of delayed discharge, cautious perioperative evaluation is necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Explore serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), signal transduction molecule 3 (SMAD3), and histone deacetylase (HDAC) and their correlation with the severity of the condition of stroke patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical records of 93 stroke patients and 93 healthy individuals were retrospectively analyzed. Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with different disease degrees and lesion areas were compared between the two groups. Correlation between serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 and the severity and lesion area of the observation group were analyzed. RESULTS Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with moderate and severe disease were significantly higher than those in patients with mild disease and were the highest in patients with severe disease (p<0.05). Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with moderate and large areas of cerebral infarction were significantly higher than those in patients with small areas of cerebral infarction and the highest in patients with large areas of cerebral infarction (p<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 significantly positively correlated with the severity of stroke and lesion area (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in stroke patients are highly expressed, and the increase positively correlates with the severity of the disease and the area of the lesion.

Abstract
Withaferin A (WFA) is a natural compound separated from the medicinal plant Withania somnifera. As reported, it has the potential to safely cure rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in animal models. Nevertheless, the action mechanism of WFA in treating RA has not been completely illuminated. The study was to explore the action and mechanism of WFA on arthritic rats. First, a collagen-induced arthritis rat model was established. WFA administration alleviated inflammation and injury in arthritic rats. Subsequently, fibroblast synovial cells (FLS) of arthritic rats were separated and cell proliferation and apoptosis abilities were tested. It was found that WFA was available to repress FLS cell proliferation and accelerate apoptosis. MicroRNA-1297 was downregulated in RA patients. Clinical correlation analysis suggested that miR-1297 in the serum of RA patients was negatively associated with pro-inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and RA diagnostic indexes (RF, DAS28). In the meantime, miR-1297 had superior diagnostic value in differentiating RA patients from healthy people. Karyopherin α2 (KPNA2) was the downstream target of miR-1297, while miR-1297 negatively modulated KPNA2 expression. Importantly, WFA further restrained KPNA2 expression via elevating miR-1297 in functional rescue experiments, thereby treating inflammation and injury in arthritic rats and repressing FLS cell proliferation and activation. In short, WFA alleviated inflammation and joint damage in arthritic rats via elevating miR-1297 to target KPNA2.

Abstract
AIMS To conduct a direct comparison regarding the non-coplanar positioning accuracy between the optical surface imaging system Catalyst HDTM and non-coplanar cone-beam computed tomography (NC-CBCT) in intracranial single-isocentre non-coplanar stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients with between one and five brain metastases who underwent single-isocentre non-coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy (NC-VMAT) SRS or HSRT were enrolled in this study. For each non-zero couch angle, both Catalyst HDTM and NC-CBCT were used for set-up verification prior to beam delivery. The set-up error reported by Catalyst HDTM was compared with the set-up error derived from NC-CBCT, which was defined as the gold standard. Additionally, the dose delivery accuracy of each non-coplanar field after using Catalyst HDTM and NC-CBCT for set-up correction was measured with SRS MapCHECKTM. RESULTS The median set-up error differences (absolute values) between the two positioning methods were 0.30 mm, 0.40 mm, 0.50 mm, 0.15°, 0.10° and 0.10° in the vertical, longitudinal, lateral, yaw, pitch and roll directions, respectively. The largest absolute set-up error differences regarding translation and rotation were 1.5 mm and 1.1°, which occurred in the longitudinal and yaw directions, respectively. Only 35.71% of the pairs of measurements were within the tolerance of 0.5 mm and 0.5° simultaneously. In addition, the non-coplanar field with NC-CBCT correction yielded a higher gamma passing rate than that with Catalyst HDTM correction (P < 0.05), especially for evaluation criteria of 1%/1 mm with a median increase of 12.8%. CONCLUSIONS Catalyst HDTM may not replace NC-CBCT for non-coplanar set-up corrections in single-isocentre NC-VMAT SRS and HSRT for single and multiple brain metastases. The potential role of Catalyst HDTM in intracranial SRS/HSRT needs to be further studied in the future.

Abstract
Using an 185-kg NaI[Tl] array, COHERENT has measured the inclusive electron-neutrino charged-current cross section on ^{127}I with pion decay-at-rest neutrinos produced by the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Iodine is one the heaviest targets for which low-energy (≤50 MeV) inelastic neutrino-nucleus processes have been measured, and this is the first measurement of its inclusive cross section. After a five-year detector exposure, COHERENT reports a flux-averaged cross section for electron neutrinos of 9.2_{-1.8}^{+2.1}×10^{-40} cm^{2}. This corresponds to a value that is ∼41% lower than predicted using the MARLEY event generator with a measured Gamow-Teller strength distribution. In addition, the observed visible spectrum from charged-current scattering on ^{127}I has been measured between 10 and 55 MeV, and the exclusive zero-neutron and one-or-more-neutron emission cross sections are measured to be 5.2_{-3.1}^{+3.4}×10^{-40} and 2.2_{-0.5}^{+0.4}×10^{-40} cm^{2}, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES China may face new threats to public health due to the increased risk of imported mpox (monkeypox) cases. However, research gaps exist in the acceptance of mpox vaccination and potential associated factors in the Chinese population. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a cross-sectional study targeting community residents in Shenzhen, China, from August 5 to September 7 2022. METHODS A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information about demographic and health characteristics, mpox-related perceptions, and attitudes towards mpox vaccination. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to detect the factors associated with willingness to receive and recommend mpox vaccination. RESULTS A total of 2293 community residents were included in the analyses (average age: 34.03, female: 72.6%). Among the participants, 76.9% were aware of mpox, 62.1% were aware of the global mpox outbreak, but only 53.6% had a high knowledge level of mpox. Males had a higher proportion of high knowledge (56.9% vs 52.3%, P<0.05) and a lower proportion of high worry (30.2% vs 45.4%, P<0.05) than females. Approximately 69.1% of the participants were willing to vaccinate against mpox, and 69.6% were willing to recommend mpox vaccination to people around them, in which no gender difference was found. The obstacle reported most among people hesitant to receive vaccination was concerning the safety and side-effects, whereas it changed to be concerning the suitability due to individual health differences among people hesitant to recommend mpox vaccines. Factors associated with the willingness to receive and recommend mpox vaccination included having a history of influenza vaccination, having a history of COVID-19 vaccination, being aware of the global mpox outbreak, having a high knowledge level of mpox, and having a high level of mpox-related worry. CONCLUSIONS This study identified a moderate willingness to receive and recommend mpox vaccination among Chinese adults. Without gender differences, willingness to receive and recommend mpox vaccination was significantly associated with mpox-related perceptions, such as awareness, knowledge, and worry. Authoritative and up-to-date information is needed to help the general population improve public confidence in mpox vaccines in China.

Abstract
Flexible electronic devices extended abilities of humans to perceive their environment conveniently and comfortably. Among them, flexible magnetic field sensors are crucial to detect changes in the external magnetic field. State-of-the-art flexible magnetoelectronics do not exhibit low detection limit and large working range simultaneously, which limits their application potential. Herein, a flexible magnetic field sensor possessing a low detection limit of 22 nT and wide sensing range from 22 nT up to 400 mT is reported. With the detection range of seven orders of magnitude in magnetic field sensor constitutes at least one order of magnitude improvement over current flexible magnetic field sensor technologies. The sensor is designed as a cantilever beam structure accommodating a flexible permanent magnetic composite and an amorphous magnetic wire enabling sensitivity to low magnetic fields. To detect high fields, the anisotropy of the giant magnetoimpedance effect of amorphous magnetic wires to the magnetic field direction is explored. Benefiting from mechanical flexibility of sensor and its broad detection range, its application potential for smart wearables targeting geomagnetic navigation, touchless interactivity, rehabilitation appliances, and safety interfaces providing warnings of exposure to high magnetic fields are explored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous observational studies reported an association of diabetes mellitus (DM) with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), however, the potential causality of the association between them remains unclear. METHODS To explore this causal relationship in individuals of European descent, a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of DM was used to represent the exposure factor (T1DM: n = 24,840; T2DM: n = 215,654), and GWAS of OPC represented the outcome (n = 3,448). RESULTS Forty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to T1DM and fifty-four SNPs related to T2DM were identified as effective instrumental variables (IVs) in the two-sample MR analyses. In IVW estimates, neither T1DM nor T2DM significantly contributed to an increased risk of OPC [T1DM: OR 1.0322 (95% CI 0.9718, 1.0963), P = 0.3033; T2DM: OR 0.9998 (95% CI 0.9995, 1.0002), P = 0.2858]. Four other regression models produced similar results. MR-Egger regression results [Cochran's Q statistic was 47.1544 (P = 0.1466) in T1DM, and 35.5084 (P = 0.9512) in T2DM] suggested no horizontal pleiotropy between IVs and outcomes. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest little evidence to support the genetic role of diabetes mellitus in OPC development in the European population.

Abstract
The potassium channel protein KCNH2 is encoded by KCNH2 gene, and there are more than 300 mutations of KCNH2. Unfolded protein response (UPR) is typically initiated in response to an accumulation of unfolded and/or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The present study aimed to explore the UPR process and the role of activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) in the abnormal expression of potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2 (KCNH2)A561V. The wild-type (wt) KCNH2 and A561V mutant KCNH2 was constructed with his-tag. The 293 cells were used and divided into KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V, KCNH2wt and KCNH2A561V groups. The expression levels of ATF6 and KCNH2 in different groups were detected by Western blotting, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence and immuno-coprecipitation assays. The protein types and abundance of immuno-coprecipitation samples were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The proteomic analysis of the mass spectrometry results was carried out by using the reactome database and GO (Gene Ontology) tool. The mRNA expression levels of KCNH2 and ATF6 in the KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V group were higher compared with the KCNH2A561V group. However, the full-length protein expression of ATF6 was inhibited, indicating that ATF6 was highly activated and a substantial number of ATF6 was sheared in KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V group compared with control group. Furthermore, A561V-KCNH2 mutation leading to the accumulation of the immature form of KCNH2 (135 kDa bands) in ER, resulting in the reduction of the ratio of 155 kDa/135 kDa. In addition, the abundance of UPR-related proteins in the KCNH2A561V group was higher compared with the KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V group. The 'cysteine biosynthetic activity' of GO:0019344 process and the 'positive regulation of cytoplasmic translation activity' of GO:2000767 process in the KCNH2A561V group were higher compared with the KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V group. Hence, co-expression of wild-type and A561V mutant KCNH2 in 293 cells activated the UPR process, which led to the inhibition of protein translation and synthesis, in turn inhibiting the expression of KCNH2. These results provided a theoretical basis for clinical treatment of Long QT syndrome.

Abstract
Low-cost and safe batteries are considered to be promising energy-storage systems. Here, a metal organic framework (MOF)-derived octahedral Cu1.95S@CoS2 composite is developed as a high-performance cathode of aluminium-ion (Al-ion) batteries. CoS2 nanoparticles on Cu1.95S provide active sites, making AlCl4- intercalation/deintercalation highly reversible, and reducing polarization. Cycling at 0.5 A g-1, Cu1.95S@CoS2 maintains stable capacities of 136.6 and 122.4 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at room temperature and -10 °C, respectively. Stable rate-performance is also achieved. These findings will accelerate the application of Al-ion batteries and MOF-derived energy-storage composites.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the hemostatic efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of recombinant human thrombin in the treatment of liver wounds that still ooze after conventional surgical hemostasis. Methods: A multicenter, stratified randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ⅲ trial with a planned enrollment of 510 subjects at 33 centers, with a 2∶1 randomization to the thrombin group versus the placebo group. An interim analysis will be conducted after approximately 70% of the subjects have completed the observation period. The primary efficacy endpoint was the rate of hemostasis within 6 minutes at the point of bleeding that could be evaluated. Safety analysis was performed one month after surgery, and the positive rates of anti-drug antibody (ADA) and neutralizing antibody were evaluated. Results: At the interim analysis, a total of 348 subjects had been randomized and received the study drug (215 were male and 133 were female). They were aged 19-69 (52.9±10.9)years. Among them, 232 were in the thrombin group and 116 were in the placebo group, with balanced and comparable demographics and baseline characteristics between the two groups. The hemostasis rate at 6 minutes was 71.6% (95%CI:65.75%-77.36%) in the thrombin group and 44.0% (95%CI: 34.93%-53.00%) in the placebo group, respectively (P<0.001). No grade≥3 drug-related adverse events and no drug-related deaths were reported from the study.No recombinant human thrombin-induced immunologically-enhanced ADA or immunologically-induced ADA was detected after topical use in subjects. Conclusion: Recombinant human thrombin has shown significant hemostatic efficacy and good safety in controlling bleeding during liver resection surgery, while also demonstrating low immunogenicity characteristics.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the feasibility of using donors with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) when there are no other available donors and allo-HSCT cannot be delayed or discontinued. Methods: Seventy-one patients with malignant hematological diseases undergoing allo-HSCT between December 8, 2022, and January 10, 2023, were included. Of these, 16 received grafts from donors with mild COVID-19 (D-COVID(+) group) and 55 received grafts from donors without COVID-19 (D-COVID(-) group). The graft compositions were compared between the two groups. Engraftment, acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), overall survival (OS), and relapse were also evaluated. Results: There were no serious side effects or adverse events in the D-COVID(+) group. The mononuclear cell dose and CD34(+) cell dose were comparable between the two groups, and no additional apheresis was required. There were no significant differences in the lymphocyte, monocyte, and T-cell subset doses between the two groups. The median natural killer cell dose in the D-COVID(+) group was significantly higher than that in the D-COVID(-) group (0.69×10(8)/kg vs. 0.53×10(8)/kg, P=0.031). The median follow-up time was 72 (33-104) days. All patients achieved primary engraftment. The 60-day platelet engraftment rates in the D-COVID(+) and D-COVID(-) groups were 100% and (96.4±0.2) %, respectively (P=0.568). There were no significant differences in neutrophil (P=0.309) and platelet (P=0.544) engraftment times. The cumulative incidence of grade 2-4 aGVHD was (37.5±1.6) % vs. (16.4±0.3) % (P=0.062), and of grade 3-4 aGVHD was 25.0% ±1.3% vs. 9.1% ±0.2% (P=0.095) in the D-COVID(+) and D-COVID(-) groups, respectively. The probabilities of 60-day OS were 100% and 98.1% ±1.8% (P=0.522) in the D-COVID(+) and D-COVID(-) groups, respectively. There was no relapse of primary disease during the study period. Conclusion: When allo-HSCT cannot be delayed or discontinued and no other donor is available, a donor with mild COVID-19 should be considered if tolerable. Larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are required to validate these results.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease whose pathogenesis mainly involves airway remodelling and alveolar destruction caused by inflammation, protease-antiprotease imbalance, oxidative stress, and imbalance between apoptosis and compensatory repair of lung tissue structure cells. In recent years, the role of the autoimmune response in COPD has attracted widespread attention, but there is still some controversy. This article reviewed the role of autoimmunity in COPD from different perspectives, starting with the relationship between autoimmunity and the pathogenesis of COPD.

Abstract
Understanding brain-wide hemodynamic responses to different stimuli at high spatiotemporal resolutions can help study neuro-disorders and brain functions. However, the existing brain imaging technologies have limited resolution, sensitivity, imaging depth and provide information about only one or two hemodynamic parameters. To address this, we propose a multimodal functional ultrasound and photoacoustic (fUSPA) imaging platform, which integrates ultrafast ultrasound and multispectral photoacoustic imaging methods in a compact head-mountable device, to quantitatively map cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen saturation (SO2) dynamics as well as contrast agent enhanced brain imaging with high spatiotemporal resolutions. After systematic characterization, the fUSPA system was applied to quantitatively study the changes in brain hemodynamics and vascular reactivity at single vessel resolution in response to hypercapnia stimulation. Our results show an overall increase in brain-wide CBV, CBF, and SO2, but regional differences in singular cortical veins and arteries and a reproducible anti-correlation pattern between venous and cortical hemodynamics, demonstrating the capabilities of the fUSPA system for providing multiparametric cerebrovascular information at high-resolution and sensitivity, that can bring insights into the complex mechanisms of neurodiseases.

Abstract
Understanding the role of parton mass and Casimir color factors in the quantum chromodynamics parton shower represents an important step in characterizing the emission properties of heavy quarks. Recent experimental advances in jet substructure techniques have provided the opportunity to isolate and characterize gluon emissions from heavy quarks. In this Letter, the first direct experimental constraint on the charm-quark splitting function is presented, obtained via the measurement of the groomed shared momentum fraction of the first splitting in charm jets, tagged by a reconstructed D^{0} meson. The measurement is made in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV, in the low jet transverse-momentum interval of 15≤p_{T}^{jet ch}<30 GeV/c where the emission properties are sensitive to parton mass effects. In addition, the opening angle of the first perturbative emission of the charm quark, as well as the number of perturbative emissions it undergoes, is reported. Comparisons to measurements of an inclusive-jet sample show a steeper splitting function for charm quarks compared with gluons and light quarks. Charm quarks also undergo fewer perturbative emissions in the parton shower, with a reduced probability of large-angle emissions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to critically evaluate the diagnostic yields of direct immunofluorescence (DIF) analysis on perilesional and normal-appearing mucosa biopsy samples, to determine the optimal biopsy site for patients presenting with oral pemphigus vulgaris (PV) or mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP). Electronic databases and article bibliographies were searched in December 2022. The primary outcome was the rate of DIF positivity. Of 374 records identified after the elimination of duplicates, 21 studies with 1027 samples were ultimately included. Meta-analysis revealed a pooled DIF positivity rate of 99.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 97.4-100.0%, I2 = 0%) for PV and 92.6% (95% CI 87.9-96.5%, I2 = 44%) for MMP for biopsies from perilesional sites, and of 95.4% (95% CI 88.6-99.5%, I2 = 0%) for PV and 94.1% (95% CI 86.5-99.2%, I2 = 42%) for MMP for biopsies from normal-appearing sites. For MMP, there was no significant difference in the rate of DIF positivity between the two biopsy sites (odds ratio 1.91, 95% CI 0.91-4.01, I2 = 0%). The results suggest that the perilesional mucosa remains the optimal biopsy site for DIF diagnosis of oral PV, while the normal-appearing mucosa biopsy is optimal for oral MMP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder. Pyridostigmine (PYR), an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, has been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in several animal models for inflammation-associated conditions. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of PYR on pristane-induced (PIA) in Dark Agouti (DA) rats. METHOD DA rats were intradermally infused with pristane to establish the PIA model, which was treated with PYR (10 mg/kg/day) for 27 days. The effects of PYR on synovial inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut microbiota were evaluated by determining arthritis scores, H&E staining, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and biochemical assays, as well as 16S rDNA sequencing. RESULTS Pristane induced arthritis, with swollen paws and body weight loss, increased arthritis scores, synovium hyperplasia, and bone or cartilage erosion. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in synovium was higher in the PIA group than in the control group. PIA rats also displayed elevated levels of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, superoxide dismutase, and catalase in plasma. Moreover, sequencing results showed that the richness, diversity, and composition of the gut microbiota dramatically changed in PIA rats. PYR abolished pristane-induced inflammation and oxidative stress, and corrected the gut microbiota dysbiosis. CONCLUSION The results of this study support the protective role of PYR in PIA in DA rats, associated with the attenuation of inflammation and correction of gut microbiota dysbiosis. These findings open new perspectives for pharmacological interventions in animal models of RA.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the potential of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in mitigating the adverse prognosis associated with central nervous system leukemia (CNSL) and to assess the significance of prophylactic intrathecal injection. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted involving 30 patients with acute leukemia who had a history of CNSL who underwent allo-HSCT at Peking University People's Hospital between September 2012 and March 2018 (referred to as the CNSL-positive group). In addition, 90 patients with acute leukemia were selected from the same period who underwent allo-HSCT without a history of CNSL (referred to as the CNSL-negative group) and a rigorous 1∶3 matching was performed based on disease type, disease status, and transplantation type to form the control group. The prognosis between the two groups was compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis and the high-risk factors for CNSL relapse post-transplant were identified through Cox proportional-hazards model. Results: The median age of patients in the CNSL-negative group was significantly higher than that of patients in the CNSL-positive group (32 years vs. 24 years, P=0.014). No significant differences were observed in baseline data, including sex, disease type, disease status at transplantation, donor-recipient relationship, and human leukocyte antigen consistency between the two groups. The median follow-up time was 568 days (range: 21-1 852 days). The 4-year cumulative incidence of relapse (71.4%±20.9% vs. 29.3%±11.5%, P=0.005) and the cumulative incidence of CNSL post-transplant (33.6%±9.2% vs. 1.2%±1.2%, P<0.001) were significantly higher in the CNSL-positive group than in the CNSL-negative group. Furthermore, the 4-year leukemia-free survival rate in the CNSL-positive group was significantly lower than that in the CNSL-negative group (23.1%±17.0% vs. 71.5%±11.6%, P<0.001). However, no significant differences were observed in the 4-year cumulative transplant-related mortality and overall survival rates between the two groups (both P>0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that a history of CNSL before transplantation (HR=25.050, 95%CI 3.072-204.300, P=0.003) was identified as high-risk factors for CNSL relapse post-transplant. Conversely, haploidentical transplantation was associated with a reduced risk of CNSL relapse post-transplant (HR=0.260, 95%CI 0.073-0.900, P=0.034). Within the CNSL-positive group, seven patients received prophylactic intrathecal therapy after transplantation, and their CNSL relapse rate was significantly lower than that of the 23 patients who did not receive intrathecal therapy after transplantation (0/7 vs. 9/23, P=0.048). Conclusions: Patients with a history of CNSL have a higher risk of relapse and experience poorer leukemia-free survival following transplantation. The use of prophylactic intrathecal injection shows promise in mitigating CNSL relapse rates, although further validation through prospective studies is necessary to substantiate these observations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the value of serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), and cystatin C (Cys-C) in predicting the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical data from 104 CHD patients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were analyzed. Of them, 31 patients had stable angina (Group-S), 36 patients were diagnosed with unstable angina (Group-U), and 37 patients had acute myocardial infarction (Group-A). Additionally, clinical data from 35 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination during the same time period were selected as the control group. Levels of blood lipid indicators and serum Lp-PLA2, IMA, and Cys-C levels were compared between the groups. RESULTS The rates of diabetes, hypertension, and smoking in Group-S, Group-U, and Group-A were significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). Levels of Lp-PLA2, IMA, and Cys-C in Group-S, Group-U, and Group-A were significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). Levels of Lp-PLA2, IMA, and Cys-C in Group-U and Group-A were significantly higher than those in Group-S, and Group-A had the highest value of these indexes (p<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Lp-PLA2, Cys-C, and IMA were important risk factors for the onset of CHD (p<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of Lp-PLA2, IMA, and Cys-C predicting the occurrence of CHD was 0.775, 0.835, and 0.735, respectively. The combined prediction of the three factors has an AUC of 0.920, which is higher than the individual prediction. CONCLUSIONS Lp-PLA2, IMA, and Cys-C are closely related to the onset and progression of CHD. These indicators, therefore, can be used in clinical practice to predict and evaluate CHD.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the value of orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in predicting the efficacy of intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) for patients with retinoblastoma (RB). MATERIALS AND METHODS The pretreatment clinical and MRI data of 100 eyes from 80 RB patients who underwent IVC were collected retrospectively. There were 59 eyes in the effective group and 41 eyes in the ineffective group, and the baseline data of the two groups were compared statistically. Three radiologists reviewed and evaluated each lesion independently based on 25 MRI features. The predictive values of the MRI features for IVC efficacy were assessed by multi-factor logistic regression analysis, and their odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) with the area under the curve (AUC) were used to determine the predictive abilities. A predictive model was constructed by integrating all independent predictors visualised by the nomogram. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in sex or age between the effective and ineffective groups. The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that laterality, margin, and anterior eye segment enhancement were identified as independent factors that could predict IVC efficacy. The predictive model combining these three features was constructed, and it had an AUC of 0.732 (95% CI: 0.633, 0.831, p<0.01), a sensitivity of 71.2%, and a specificity of 70.7%. CONCLUSION The data demonstrate that the orbital MRI features can be used to predict IVC efficiency before RB patients are treated.

Abstract
Sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery is one of the research focuses because of high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, seeking for ideal anodes remains a big challenge. Here, a Co3 S4 @NiS2 /C synthesized by in situ growing NiS2 on CoS spheres then converting to Co3 S4 @NiS2 heterostructures encapsulated by carbon matrix, is developed as a promising anode. Co3 S4 @NiS2 /C as anode displays a high capacity of 654.1 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles. Even over 2000 cycles at a high rate of 10 A g-1 , capacity exceeds 143.2 mAh g-1 . Heterostructures between Co3 S4 and NiS2 improve electron transfer as verified by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In addition, when cycling at a high temperature of 50 °C, the Co3 S4 @NiS2 /C anode displays 525.2 mAh g-1 , while it remains 340 mAh g-1 at -15 °C, indicating all-climate potential for using under different temperatures.

Abstract
PURPOSE Posterior pelvic exenteration (PPE) for locally advanced rectal cancer is a technical and challenging procedure. The safety and feasibility of laparoscopic PPE remain to be determined. This study aims to compare short-term and survival outcomes of laparoscopic PPE (LPPE) with open PPE (OPPE) in female patients. METHOD From January 2015 to December 2020, data from 105 female patients who underwent PPE at three institutions were retrospectively analyzed. The short-term and oncological outcomes between LPPE and OPPE were compared. RESULTS A total of 54 cases with LPPE and 51 cases with OPPE were enrolled. The operative time (240 vs. 295 min, p = 0.009), blood loss (100 vs. 300 ml, p < 0.001), surgical site infection (SSI) rate (20.4% vs. 58.8%, p = 0.003), urinary retention rate (3.7% vs. 17.6%, p = 0.020), and postoperative hospital stay (10 vs. 13 days, p = 0.009) were significantly lower in the LPPE group. The two groups showed no significant differences in the local recurrence rate (p = 0.296), 3-year overall survival (p = 0.129), or 3-year disease-free survival (p = 0.082). A higher CEA level (HR 1.02, p = 0.002), poor tumor differentiation (HR 3.05, p = 0.004), and (y)pT4b stage (HR 2.35, p = 0.035) were independent risk factors for disease-free survival. CONCLUSION LPPE is safe and feasible for locally advanced rectal cancers and shows lower operative time and blood loss, fewer SSI complications, and better preservation of bladder function without compromising oncological outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a systematic, scientific, reasonable, feasible and reliable evaluation system for occupational disease prevention and control capability, in order to provide reference for occupational disease prevention and control work in Tianjin City. Methods: In August 2022, literature review was conducted to propose indicators for the evaluation system. Two rounds of anonymous consultation with occupational health experts were conducted using the Delphi method to form expert opinions. According to the boundary value method and expert opinions, eliminate, screen, and modify the evaluation system indicators to ultimately determine the system indicators. Use Cronbach's alpha to test the reliability of the system indicators and form a Tianjin occupational disease prevention and control capability evaluation system. Results: It showed that the effective response rates of the two rounds of consultation conducted by experts in this study were 92.3% and 100.0%, respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.84 and 0.82, respectively. The Kendall coordination coefficient was tested for differences, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The Tianjin occupational disease prevention and control capability evaluation system includes 7 primary indicators, 17 secondary indicators, and 54 tertiary indicators. The Cronbach's alpha of the primary, second, third level indicators and all indicators were 0.91, 0.98, 0.98, 0.98 (>0.7) . Conclusion: The preliminary evaluation system for occupational disease prevention and control capacity in Tianjin City has been established, providing a reference basis for the investigation of occupational disease prevention and control capacity in Tianjin City.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the dynamic changes in serum lipid levels and nutritional status during BCMA-CAR-T-cell therapy in patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma (R/R MM) based on LEGEND-2. Methods: The data of patients with R/R MM who underwent BCMA-CAR-T therapy at our hospital between March 30, 2016, and February 6, 2018, were retrospectively collected. Serum lipid levels, controlled nutritional status (CONUT) score, and other clinical indicators at different time points before and after CAR-T-cell infusion were compared and analyzed. The best cut-off value was determined by using the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. The patients were divided into high-CONUT score (>6.5 points, malnutrition group) and low-CONUT score groups (≤6.5 points, good nutrition group), comparing the progression-free survival (PFS) and total survival (OS) of the two groups using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: Before the infusion of CAR-T-cells, excluding triglycerides (TG), patients' serum lipid levels were lower than normal on average. At 8-14 d after CAR-T-cell infusion, serum albumin (ALB), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1) levels dropped to the minimum, whereas CONUT scores reached the maximum. In addition to TG, apolipoprotein B (Apo B) levels increased compared with baseline. After CAR-T-cell therapy, the patients' serum lipid levels significantly increased with well-improved nutritional status. Spearman's related analysis showed that TC, HDL, and ApoA1 levels after CAR-T-cell injection were significantly negatively correlated with the grade of cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) (r=-0.548, P=0.003; r=-0.444, P=0.020; r=-0.589, P=0.001). Furthermore, survival analysis indicated that the CONUT score was unrelated to PFS, and the median OS of patients with R/R MM in the high-CONUT score group was shorter than that in the low-CONUT score group (P=0.046) . Conclusions: During CAR-T-cell therapy, hypolipidemia and poor nutritional status were aggravated, which is possibly related to CRS. The patients' serum lipid levels and nutritional status were significantly improved after CAR-T-cell treatment. The CONUT score affected the median OS in patients treated with CAR-T-cells. Therefore, specific screening and intervention for nutritional status in patients receiving CAR-T-cell therapy are required.

Abstract
The diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission, mainly produced via interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium and/or radiation field, is a very important probe of the distribution, propagation, and interaction of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. In this Letter, we report the measurements of diffuse γ rays from the Galactic plane between 10 TeV and 1 PeV energies, with the square kilometer array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). Diffuse emissions from the inner (15°10 TeV). The energy spectrum in the inner Galaxy regions can be described by a power-law function with an index of -2.99±0.04, which is different from the curved spectrum as expected from hadronic interactions between locally measured cosmic rays and the line-of-sight integrated gas content. Furthermore, the measured flux is higher by a factor of ∼3 than the prediction. A similar spectrum with an index of -2.99±0.07 is found in the outer Galaxy region, and the absolute flux for 10≲E≲60 TeV is again higher than the prediction for hadronic cosmic ray interactions. The latitude distributions of the diffuse emission are consistent with the gas distribution, while the longitude distributions show clear deviation from the gas distribution. The LHAASO measurements imply that either additional emission sources exist or cosmic ray intensities have spatial variations.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of Femtosecond laser-assisted stromal lenticule addition keratoplasty (SLAK) combined with corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in the treatment of middle and advanced Keratoconus. Methods: It was a retrospective case series study. Data of 23 cases (24 eyes) of keratoconus treated with femtosecond laser-assisted SLAK combined with CXL in Laser Vision Centre of Xi'an No.1 Hospital from September 2020 to June 2022 were collected, including 16 males and 7 females, aged (23.69±5.18) years. The thickness, diopter number and diameter of the donor corneal stromal lens were assessed. uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and diopter were recorded before and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Sirius 3D fault corneal topography instrument to measure flat simulated keratometry (Kf), steep simulated keratometry (Ks) and the difference between them (ΔK), as well as central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal high-order aberration. Results: Six months after surgery, CCT (454.83±50.01) μm were significantly higher than before (384.92±35.45) μm (P<0.05). Six months after surgery, UCVA (1.41±0.32) was significantly lower than before (1.11±0.33)(P<0.05). Six months after surgery, spherical diopter [(-15.73±7.89) D], Kf [(56.82±4.76) D] and Ks [(61.00±4.70) D] were significantly higher than before [(-12.08±5.99) D, (53.55±4.95) D, (58.65±5.10) D] (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in BCVA, column mirror degree and higher order aberrations before and 6 months after surgery(P>0.05). No corneal stromal lens folds, melting and displacement were observed in all eyes during the follow-up period, and no corneal opacity or immune rejection was observed. Conclusions: femtosecond laser-assisted SLAK combined with CXL can significantly increase the corneal thickness of keratoconus and has good effectiveness. In addition, six months of postoperative follow-up of patients showed no significant changes in BCVA and high-order aberrations in the 6 mm central diameter of the cornea, and no postoperative adverse reaction were found in all eyes, indicating that the operation has certain safety.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate and analyze the allocation status of oral health resources in Yunnan Province at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, providing a scientific basis for the rational resource allocation and formulation regional oral health plan for government health administrative departments. Methods: With the method of general survey, a cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the allocation of material and human resources of all kinds of stomatological medical institutions registered in the health administrative departments in Yunnan before January 1, 2020. The general situation of oral health resources was analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis. Results: There were 2 712 stomatological medical institutions in Yunnan, 634 public and 2 078 non-public included. The largest number was in Kunming (1 167) and the least in Diqing (19). There were 9 018 dental chairs in total, among which 2 584 in public and 6 434 in non-public. Kunming had the largest number of chairs (3 612) and Nujiang had the least (57). There were 702 oral and maxillofacial surgical beds, all of which were distributed in public. There were 15 148 stomatological personnel, including 3 667 in public and 11 481 in non-public. The average ratio of stomatologist to population was 1∶6 615. Dehong (1∶6 620) was close to this average level, while Kunming (1∶2 283) and Yuxi (1∶4 936) were lower than the average and the other 13 states (cities) were higher. The population ratio of licensed stomatologist was only 1∶9 110. The average ratio of stomatologist to nurses was 1∶0.94. Honghe (1∶1.05), Kunming (1∶1.00), Yuxi (1∶1.18) and Qujing (1∶0.94) was better than or reached the average level, while the other 13 states (cities) were lower than this average. And this ratio in public comprehensive medical institutions was only 1∶0.38. Conclusions: The distribution of oral health resources in Yunnan was unbalanced between public and non-public institutions and among states (cities), mainly distributed in economically developed states (cities) and non-public institutions. For the oral health in Yunnan Province, the workforce was insufficient and the structure was unreasonable, and the proportion of nurses was seriously insufficient in public comprehensive medical institutions.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate soft-and hard-tissue changes after simultaneously labial and lingual augmented corticotomy in patients with insufficient alveolar bone thickness of lower anterior teeth both in labial and lingual side during orthodontic treatment. Methods: From January 2021 to June 2022, 10 patients [2 males and 8 females, (26.2±3.1) years old] who received orthodontic and orthognathic combined treatment from the Fourth Clinical Division, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were selected. The alveolar bone thickness of lower anterior teeth both in labial and lingual side in these patients was less than 0.5 mm according to cone-beam CT examination before or during treatment, and 60 lower anterior teeth were included. The 10 patients were treated with simultaneously labial and lingual augmented corticotomy. The differences in gingival recession, papilla index and the differences in labial and lingual alveolar bone thickness of lower anterior teeth were compared. Results: Six months after surgery, the alveolar bone thicknesses at the 4 mm under cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), 8 mm under CEJ and at the apical level [labial side: (1.02±0.39), (2.22±0.89) and (4.87±1.35) mm; lingual side: (1.07±0.46), (2.31±1.04) and (3.91±1.29) mm] were significantly higher than that before surgery [labial side: (0.02±0.09), (0.06±0.21) and (2.71±1.33) mm]; lingual side: (0.14±0.29), (0.40±0.52) and (2.13±1.02) mm] (P<0.001), respectively. The increases in alveolar bone thickness of central incisors [apical level on labial side: (2.53±1.20) mm, 8 mm under CEJ on lingual side: (2.27±1.24) mm, apical level on lingual side: (2.66±1.49) mm] and lateral incisors [apical level on labial side: (2.42±1.30) mm, 8 mm under CEJ on lingual side: (2.28±0.92) mm, apical level on lingual side: (1.94±1.15) mm] were significantly higher than that of canines [apical level on labial side: (1.52±1.47) mm, 8 mm under CEJ on lingual side: (1.17±1.09) mm,apical level on lingual side: (0.74±1.37) mm] (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the degree of gingival recession [labial side before surgery: (0.72±0.88) mm, lingual side before surgery: (0.80±1.09) mm; labial side 6 months after surgery: (0.72±0.81) mm,lingual side 6 months after surgery: (0.89±0.21) mm] and gingival papilla index [before surgery: 1.00(0.75, 2.00); 6 months after surgery: 1.00(1.00, 2.00) ] between pre-operation and 6 months after surgery (P>0.05). No serious complications occurred. Conclusions: The method used in this article for simultaneously labial and lingual augmented corticotomy was safe and feasible. This surgery has positive clinical significance for the stability of the periodontal tissue in orthodontic treatment for patients with alveolar bone thickness less than 0.5 mm of lower anterior teeth both in labial and lingual side.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a severe side effect of radiotherapy (RT) for thoracic malignancies and we currently lack established means for the early detection of RILI. In this study, we synthesized a new tracer, [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04, targeting C-X-C-chemokine-receptor-type-4 (CXCR4) and investigated the feasibility of using this tracer in positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) for detecting RILI. MATERIALS/METHODS An RILI model was established using a high-dose single RT (50 Gy/Fraction) to the right lung of female Wistar rats. Experimental animals were scanned with [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04 PET/CT and [18F]FDG PET/CT at various time-points post-RT. MicroCT imaging was conducted weekly till 11 weeks post-RT. Dynamic, competition, autoradiography and histopathological studies were performed on day 14 post-RT. Biodistribution study was further performed on day 18 post-RT. Lung QHY-04 uptake was analyzed in twelve patients with radiation pneumonia, developed during or after thoracic RT. RESULTS The yield of [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04 was 28.5-43.2%, and the specific activity was 27-33 GBq/μmol. Significantly increased [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04 uptake in the damaged lung compared with that in the normal lung was observed in the experimental animal model on 6 post-RT and peaked on day 14 post-RT (0.96 ± 0.06 vs. 0.50 ± 0.05 %ID/mL, P<0.05), whereas no apparent uptake of [18F]FDG was shown on day 7 and 15 post-RT. Significant intense [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04 uptake was confirmed by autoradiography. No significant difference in CT density was observed between the damaged and normal lung tissues until six weeks post-RT. Immunofluorescence staining demonstrated expression of CXCR4 was significantly increased in the damaged lung tissue, which correlated with results obtained from hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome staining. Maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) were significantly higher in the irradiated lung compared with that in the normal lung in 12 patients with radiation pneumonia (3.07 ± 0.86 vs. 0.585 ± 0.17, P<0.001). SUVmax of patients with grade 2 RILI was significantly higher than that of patients with grade 1 RILI (3.30 ± 0.65 vs. 1.64 ± 0.08, P<0.05). CONCLUSION This study indicated that [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04 PET/CT imaging can detect RILI noninvasively and earlier than [18F]FDG PET/CT in a rat model. Clinical studies verified its' feasibility, suggesting the clinical potential of [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04 as a PET/CT tracer for early monitoring of RILI.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Several studies reported hypothyroidism occurred in 40-50% of patients who were treated with neck irradiation. Post-radiation hypothyroidism impairs quality of life, increases the risk of cardiac complications, and requires lifelong thyroxine replacement in affected patients. At present, radiation dose-volume constraints of thyroid gland are used to predict thyroid function outcomes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, it is limited by (a) inferior predictive power, (b) a lack of analyzing individualized thyroid characteristics as a categoriad to predict radiation induced hypothyroidism (RIHT). In this study, we firstly developed and validated CT-based dose-volume-radiomics nomogram to predict RIHT in patients with NPC. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 451 NPC patients who underwent definitive radiotherapy were randomly assigned into the training (n = 338) and validation set (n = 113) in a 3:1 ratio. Dose-volume parameters, including the thyroid volume, mean dose (Dmean), percentage of the volume that received xGy of radiation (Vx), and the absolute volume that was spared from xGy of radiation (Vsx), were collected from radiotherapy planning databases. We defined primary hypothyroidism as an elevated TSH serum level (> 4.94 mIU/L) in combination with a normal or low serum FT4 level, regardless of symptoms. 1316 CT radiomic features were extracted and selected to construct the radiomics signature (RS). A CT-based nomogram was established by integrating clinical factors, dose-volume parameters and radiomics signature in training set and was tested in validation set. RESULTS With a median follow-up period of 68 months, 301 (66.7%) patients developed RIHT. Compared with other dose-volume parameters including thyroid volume, V30, V50, Dmean, Vs45, Vs50, the thyroid volume spared from 60Gy (Vs60) had best power to predict RIHT. The radiomics signature constructed by 8 selected radiomic features showed better prognostic performance than Vs60 for predicting RIHT in training set (RIHT vs. Vs60, C-index: 0.69 vs. 0.58) and internal validation set (C-index: 0.65 vs. 0.55). Patients were stratified into high- and low-risk groups by median radiomic signature. Patients in high-risk group had higher rate of RIHT than patients in low-risk group (training set:61% vs.39%, P<0.05; validation set: 73% vs.32%, P<0.05). The nomogram established by integrating radiomics signature with Vs60 showed optimal prognostic performance with C-index of 0.71 in training, 0.66 in validation set. Calibration curves showed good agreement. CONCLUSION CT-based dose-volume-radiomics nomogram provided an excellent prognostic tool for predict incidence rate of RITH in patients with NPC received definitive radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Cancer cells evade immune system by negatively regulating T cells via immune checkpoints (e.g., PD-1). By blocking these checkpoints, the ability of immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells restores. Individual response rate of checkpoint blockade varies among patients, with 50%-80% in specific types of cancer such as melanoma, while only 15%-30% in most other tumors. Yet it is still an open question what is the set of biomarkers that are crucial to the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). The overall goal of this study is to develop and validate a biologically-aware interpretable deep learning model to identify the biomarkers that can predict the survival outcome to ICI treatment. MATERIALS/METHODS The self-attention mechanism could yield interpretable results where important biomarkers may have more "attention". However, in classical self-attention mechanism, the prior biological knowledge of protein interactions (PPI) and gene pathways are not incorporated. In this study, we propose a weighted biologically-aware attention score, where it is weighted against the gene centrality and pathway length. The genes that are closely connected to mutated genes receive 'high attention', while the genes that are far away from mutated genes along the pathway receive "lower attention". We then train, validate and test our model using 1,660 patients of nine types of cancer. To validate the prediction, 1. We evaluate the accuracy via concordance index. 2. We identified the genes that receive high attention and verify their functions in existed literature. 3. We perform sanity check by removing these genes from the data, re-training and predicting again, and comparing the prediction accuracy. RESULTS Our framework has achieved an average accuracy (measured via c-index) of 0.60 ± 0.06 for NSCLC and 0.58 ± 0.07 for melanoma, which is superior to both the gold standard COX-PH model (0.57 ± 0.06 for NSCLC and 0.53 ± 0.03 for melanoma) and DeepSurv (0.54 ± 0.05 for NSCLC and 0.51 ± 0.10 for melanoma). Genes that receive high attention have been validated by supporting literature, which provides an additional means of verifying the prediction in comparison to "black box" deep learning models, where there is no way to comprehend the reason behind predictions. Removing the top 8% high-attention genes (∼25 genes) from the data while using the remaining 92% for making predictions resulted in a drop in accuracy to 0.55 ± 0.073 for NSCLC and 0.56 ± 0.03 for melanoma, underscoring the significance of these genes. Patient stratification is also performed by dividing patients into responders and non-responders based on prediction score. CONCLUSION In this study, we propose and validate a biologically-aware self-attention based deep learning model which outperforms commonly-used survival models. Additionally, this tool has the potential to identify key biomarkers while assist in clinical decision-making, which demonstrates a promising step for immunotherapy response prediction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent updates of geographic variations, trends, and sociodemographic disparities in obesity prevalence among US adolescents are limited. The study aimed to fill those research gaps. STUDY DESIGN Serial cross-sectional analysis of the US nationally representative study. METHODS Data from six cycles of the National Survey of Children's Health (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021) with information on physical health at the national and state level were used. A total of 107,274 adolescents aged 10-17 years old were included with sociodemographic data (age, sex, race/ethnicity, parental education level, and family income) and state of residence. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) associated with obesity across sociodemographic groups. In addition, ORs were calculated to compare obesity rates between the pandemic period (2020-2021) and the pre-pandemic period (2018-2019) overall and by sociodemographic subgroups. Survey analysis procedures were used to account for complex survey designs to derive representative estimates. RESULTS From 2016 to 2021, obesity prevalence increased from 16.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.9%-17.4%) to 17.6% (95% CI, 16.4%-18.9%) (P-trend = 0.04). The combined prevalence of obesity varies substantially by state, from 9.34% (95% CI, 6.96%-12.4%; Colorado) to 27.1% (95% CI, 23.1%-31.5%; Mississippi) for adolescents aged 10-13 years and ranged from 9.86% (95% CI, 7.63%-12.7%; Utah) to 22.4% (95% CI, 19.0%-26.1%; West Virginia) for adolescents aged 14-17 years. Except for subgroups male gender and parents with college degrees or above, the prevalence of obesity showed stable trends across sociodemographic subgroups. Compared to the pre-pandemic period, the multivariable-adjusted ORs of obesity were 1.18 (95% CI, 1.06-1.32) for male adolescents, 1.16 (95% CI, 1.04-1.28) for non-Hispanic White adolescents, 1.81 (95% CI, 1.15-2.84) for non-Hispanic Asian adolescents, 1.26 (95% CI, 1.05-1.52) for adolescents whose parents had a high school education, and 1.15 (95% CI, 1.0-1.33) for adolescents whose parents had a college degree or higher. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of obesity among US adolescents increased significantly between 2016 and 2021. The prevalence of obesity was relatively high in southern states. Those with low household income, low parental education, or being non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic were also more likely to be obese. Compared to the pre-pandemic period, several groups of adolescents increased their likelihood of obesity during the pandemic period.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) For locally advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC), capecitabine-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is commonly used but has limited benefits. Immunotherapy is potentially effective for BTC and may be synergized with CRT. Followed by gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) consolidation chemotherapy (CT), we evaluated the safety and efficacy of combined camrelizumab and capecitabine-based CRT for locally advanced BTC. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients had stage II-III (T4N0M0, T1-4N+M0) BTC (per the 7th [2010] edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system) were eligible for CRT (capecitabine plus [50-60 Gy] radiotherapy), to be followed by GP CT. Camrelizumab was given concurrently with CRT. Safety was defined as the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), while efficacy was defined as overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). RESULTS Ten patients completed the planned treatment. None experienced grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs during CRT. Grade ≥3 immune-related AEs occurred in 2 of 10 patients (20%) only during GP CT. The mean OS time was 18.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 12.9m-23.5m) while the median OS time was 14.1 months (95% CI 10.1m-18.1m). OS rates were 100%, 59%, 44% at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years, respectively. The ORR was 30% while the DCR was 90%. Two patients (20%) obtained OS over 2 years with partial response (25.9m, 29.1m). Median PFS time was 14.1 months (95% CI 9.3m-18.9m). CONCLUSION Camrelizumab in combination with concurrent CRT was well tolerated and did not impair delivery of CRT in patients with locally advanced BTC.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Accurate prognostic prediction could allow personalized treatment to achieve optimal clinical outcome. We aimed to develop a highly predictive overall survival model, considering the complementary relationships between clinical information, traditional radiomics and deep image information, to further improve the overall prediction accuracy by constructing a richer feature set and adaptive weighting. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 427 patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC) patients from the TCIA database were included. 341 cases were used for training, 86 cases were used as an independent cohort. Patient characteristics, including TMN, age, gender, HPV status, smoking or drinking status, etc. were considered as potential predictors. Traditional radiomics features of gross tumor volume (GTV) was extracted from planning CT using open-source software. In addition, a two-dimensional convolutional network (2D_CNN) was designed to extract deep image features. An adaptive multi-feature fusion network was developed to predict overall survival of patients based on three types of features. The fusion network integrates an attention mechanism to the channel dimension to obtain proper weighting of each channel in the feature graph through the fully connected network by focusing on effective feature channels and automatic learning according to the loss, thus improving the utilization rate of effective features. The model performance was evaluated using the area-under-ROC-curve (AUC), accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score. RESULTS The AUCs of predictive models based on clinical features, traditional radiomics features and deep image features were 0.7, 0.61 and 0.72, respectively. Combining patient characteristics, radiomic features and deep imaging features, the AUCs of the prediction models was significantly improved to 0.85 and 0.86 (with attention mechanisms) for the independent test cohort (Table 1). CONCLUSION The proposed adaptive multi-channel network assigned effective weights to the potential predictors, selectively enhanced useful features while suppressed irrelevant features, enabling more accurate feature map weights. We demonstrated the improved predictive value, with a multi-channel fusion network integrated with an attention mechanism, for overall survival of OPC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The RefleXion X1® system is a hybrid PET imaging-radiotherapy system that uses real-time positron emissions from a PET tracer to deliver biologically guided radiotherapy (BgRT). This study (NCT05470699) evaluated the hypothesis that the X1 PET imaging subsystem would be able to detect [18F]-DCFPyL PSMA PET signal sufficient to generate a deliverable BgRT plan in patients with prostate cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with prostate cancer scheduled for a diagnostic [18F]-DCFPyL PSMA PET scan as part of standard of care were eligible. Upon completion of the diagnostic PSMA PET scan, images were transferred to the radiotherapy planning system for target identification and contouring. If at least one PET avid tumor lesion was identified, the patient was then scanned on the X1 unit. BgRT planning was performed on each X1 scanned patient. The target lesion volume, activity concentration (AC) and normalized target signal (NTS) were acquired. Successful and deliverable BgRT plans required that the target AC was ≥ 5 kBq/ml and NTS ≥ 2.7. RESULTS Twenty-six patients underwent [18F]-DCFPyL PET scans (13 with rising PSA after surgery or radiotherapy, 6 with known metastases and 7 with newly diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer). Median (range) PSA was 3.40 (0.04-122). In 16 patients a PET avid tumor was identified and contoured for planning (4 lymph nodes, 5 bone, 6 prostate gland, and 1 prostate bed). In 13 patients the target lesion was visualized on the X1 PET scan, while in 3 patients the target lesion was too close to the bladder to be clearly visualized. BgRT planning was feasible and met standard of care published SBRT organ dose constraints in 8 patients (3 prostate gland, 3 bone, 2 lymph nodes). BgRT planning was not feasible in 8 patients due to insufficient AC, low NTS or proximity of the target lesion to the PET avid bladder. The accompanying table compares median (range) target volume, AC and NTS for feasible versus not feasible plans. CONCLUSION This is the first study to investigate the feasibility of using [18F]-DCFPyL PET imaging for BgRT plan generation on the X1 system in patients with prostate cancer. Lesions that are relevant to radiotherapy of prostate cancer can be visualized including lymph node and bone metastases. A dedicated BgRT workflow with PSMA PET imaging on the X1 at 60 minutes post injection will result in higher target AC and will optimize BgRT planning. PET avid lesions < 1 cm or close to the bladder may make BgRT planning challenging. [18F]-DCFPyL-guided BgRT is technically feasible using the RefleXion X1. BgRT using targeted PET radiopharmaceuticals to biologically guide external beam radiotherapy represents a promising new dimension in radiation oncology and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Maintenance therapy with alternative agents after chemotherapy was shown to improve the overall survival in some advanced cancers such as breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer and so on. However, maintenance therapy is not accepted as the standard treatment for recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer. Aim of this study is to elucidate the efficacy of maintenance therapy in cervical cancer and to explore the factors associated with the prognosis of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS In this multicenter cohort study, we retrospectively collected patients with a diagnosis of either recurrent or stage IVB cervical cancer to receive first-line chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy. Patients did not have disease progression with first-line chemotherapy and were divided into maintenance therapy group (Arm A) and conventional chemotherapy group (Arm B). Information on clinical characteristics, metastasis information, treatment outcome and survival of patients was collected using an electronic medical record system. The endpoints of the study were OS and PFS. Data were analyzed for general characteristics and survival using statistical software, and the results were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05. RESULTS Between January 2019 and July 2021, a total of 270 patients were enrolled from 6 institutions in China. 26 patients were excluded because of short treatment cycles (less than 3 cycles). Finally, a total of 66 patients in Arm A and 178 patients in Arm B were analyzed for survival. The addition of maintenance significantly prolonged overall survival. Overall survival at 3 year was 50.1% in Arm A and 27.8% in Arm B (median overall survival, ≥36 months vs. 22 months; P<0. 001). The median progression-free survival was 21 months in Arm A and 14 months in Arm B (P = 0.025). Univariate survival analysis showed that age, maintenance therapy, combined radiotherapy, and number of extra-pelvic metastases were associated with PFS. Further multifactorial analysis showed that maintenance therapy, combined radiotherapy, and number of extra-pelvic metastases were independent prognostic factors for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. CONCLUSION The addition of maintenance therapy significantly prolonged overall survival as well as progression-free survival in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer and did not increase the incidence of serious adverse events. It is time to consider maintenance therapy as the standard treatment after conventional chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer, rather than waiting for disease progression.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the causes and summarize the treatment experience for clinically relevant delayed gastric emptying(DGE) after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD). Methods: The clinical data of 1 000 patients who underwent LPD in the Department of Liver Transplantation and Hepatobiliary Surgery,Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University between March 2017 and September 2022 was retrospectively collected. There were 640 males and 360 females,with an age of (60.1±11.4)years(range: 13 to 93 years),and 590 patients were older than 60 years. Depending on the severity of DGE,patients were divided into a clinically relevant DGE group and a 0/A grade DGE group. The comparison between the two groups was performed by the χ2 test,Fisher's exact probability method,t test or the rank sum test,and the effects of various treatment strategies for clinically relevant DGE were evaluated. Results: LPD was conducted successfully in all 1 000 patients,with a surgical time of (344.8±103.6)minutes(range:160 to 450 minutes) and intraoperative blood loss (M(IQR)) of 100 (150) ml(range:50 to 1 000 ml). A total of 74 patients(7.4%) developed clinically relevant DGE. Compared to those in the 0/A grade DGE group,patients in the clinically relevant DGE group had a higher preoperative body mass index of ((24.9±3.5)kg/m2 vs. (23.9±3.3)kg/m2,t=-2.419,P=0.016),more postoperative bile leakage(51.4%(38/74) vs. 10.8%(100/926)),pancreatic fistula(59.5%(44/74) vs. 22.9%(212/926)),abdominal infection(74.3%(55/74) vs.14.6%(135/926)),and abdominal bleeding(43.2%(32/74) vs. 11.3%(105/926))(all P<0.05). Among these patients,10 cases(13.5%) received enteral nutrition treatment,22 cases(29.7%) received parenteral nutrition treatment,and 42 cases(56.8%) received a combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition treatment. The time for patients to return to a normal diet was 21(14)days (range: 8 to 85 days). Compared to those who received only enteral(23.5(27.0)days) or parenteral nutrition treatment(15.5(11.0)days),patients who received a combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition treatment(25.5(31.0)days) had a longer time to return to a normal diet (Z=20.019,P<0.01). Among the 60 patients who developed secondary DGE,48 cases(80.0%) received ultrasound-guided puncture and drainage treatment,while 12 cases(20.0%) only received anti-infection treatment. The patients in the non-puncture drainage group had a longer time to return to a normal diet than those in the puncture drainage group (26.5(12.5)days vs. 20.0(11.0)days, Z=-2.369,P=0.018). Conclusions: Patients with clinically relevant DGE after LPD had a higher proportion of postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula,biliary fistula and abdominal infection. A combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition treatment is needed for patients with a long-term course of DGE."Smooth" drainage and ani-infectious therapy could contribute to the recovery of DGE.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The X1 system represents a cutting-edge solution in radiotherapy delivery, with its capability to perform Biology Guided Radiotherapy (BgRT). The system utilizes real-time positron emission tomography (PET) signal as biological fiducials to provide tracked dose delivery and is initially available for use with [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). The aim of this research study is to assess the quality of BgRT treatment plans for prostate cancer using patients' PSMA PET images obtained on the X1 system. MATERIALS/METHODS Sixteen patients with at least one PET-avid tumor identified on their whole-body diagnostic PSMA PET scan were selected. These patients were scanned on X1 following their diagnostic scan without additional radiotracer administration. Based on the X1 PET images, a BgRT plan was created for each patient, with the prescription dose determined by the location of treatment sites. The planning objectives of organs-at-risk (OARs) were established in accordance with the 2018 Timmerman guidelines. Target coverage objective was the dose covering 95% (D95%) of the planning target volume (PTV) to be higher than 100%. The following parameters were analyzed: PTV D95%, the minimal dose (Dmin) of gross tumor volume (GTV), plan maximum dose (Dmax), conformity index (CI), gradient index (GI), and maximum point dose (D0.03cc) to the nearest OARs. The X1 BgRT planning system also generated dose volume histogram (DVH) bounds, which model variations in BgRT delivery. The low boundary of GTV Dmin, representing the minimum GTV dose in the worst-case scenario, was recorded. RESULTS BgRT plans were created for all patients, except for one where the target signal was indistinguishable from the bladder. The prescription dose was 2700 cGy or 3000 cGy in 3 fractions for lymph node lesions, 2400 cGy to 3000 cGy in 3 fractions for bone metastasis, and 4500 cGy in 5 fractions for lesions in prostate. All plans met the dose constraints for OARs as per the Timmerman guidelines. The Dmax of all plans was 129.9% ± 6.9% (mean ± standard deviation). The PTV D95% and GTV Dmin were 101.7% ± 1.0% and 111.0% ± 7.6%, respectively. The low boundary of GTV Dmin was 95.9% ± 5.8%. The CI and GI were 1.22 ± 0.11 and 9.40 ± 2.12, respectively. The D0.03cc to nearest OARs was 84.6% ± 25.4%. The estimated treatment time was 699 ± 228 seconds. CONCLUSION This study is a pioneering effort to evaluate the quality of BgRT plans for prostate cancer patients using the [18F]-DCFPyL PSMA radiotracer. Our results showed that all BgRT plans met the planning objectives defined in the Timmerman protocol. BgRT with [18F]-DCFPyL represents a promising treatment modality for patients with prostate cancer. Further research is needed to validate this approach, including a comprehensive assessment of the dosimetric and tracking accuracy through physical measurements.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Brentuximab vedotin (BV) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) had important roles in the treatment of relapse or refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Treatment of refractory disease after BV and -/or ICIs remains a challenge. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy for R/R HL after failure to BV or ICIs. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients in two institutions with R/R HL who had failed after first-line therapy, and were refractory to BV or ICIs, and received radiotherapy (RT) thereafter. The overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 19 patients were enrolled. First-line systemic therapy consisted of ABVD (84.2%), AVD + ICIs (10.5%) and BEACOPP (5.3%), respectively. After first-line therapy, 15 patients (78.9%) were refractory, and 4 patients (21.1%) relapsed. After diagnosis of R/R HL, 8 patients (42.1%) received BV, and 17 patients (89.5%) received ICIs. RT was delivered in all 19 patients who failed after BV or ICIs. In 16 efficacy-evaluable patients, the ORR and CR rate were 100% and 100%. The median DOR was 17.2 months (range, 7.9 to 46.7 months). 3 patients progressed at outside of the radiation field. The in-field-response rate was 100%. The 12-month PFS and OS were 84.4% and 100%, respectively. No patients were reported with sever adverse events. CONCLUSION This study concluded that radiotherapy was effective and safe for refractory HL after BV or ICIs. Further prospective studies were warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In lung cancer radiation therapy, clinicians must outline the gross tumor volume (GTV) precisely on the planning computed tomography (pCT) for accurate radiation dose delivery. However, due to the limited contrast between tumor and normal tissues in lung parenchyma, accurate delineation of tumor boundaries is difficult leading to large inter-observer variation. In this study, we develop an anatomy-guided lung GTV deep segmentation model using a training cohort of multi-center datasets. The quantitative segmentation performance is evaluated on an independent dataset, where the inter-observer delineation variation is also assessed. MATERIALS/METHODS We collected and curated four publicly available lung datasets with GTV annotations (Lung-PET-CT-Dx, LIDC-IDRI, NSCLC-Radiogenomics and RIDER-CT) for deep learning model development. A total of 871 CT scans of patients, who were diagnosed with T1-T4 NSCLC, were available for training after data curation. The GTV annotations of primary tumor were examined and edited by two experienced radiation oncologists following the RTOG 1106 protocol. An anatomy-guided deep learning model was proposed, which consisted two deep networks. The first deep network used CT scan as input and segmented 4 anatomic organs (airway, heart, pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein), while the second deep network took both CT scan and these pre-segmented 4 organs as input and segmented the lung GTV. With the help of anatomic priors from 4 pre-segmented organs, the second deep network could more easily locate the GTV. We used nnUNet as the deep segmentation network. For evaluation, we used NSCLC-Radiomics as the testing dataset, which contains 20 CT scans each annotated by 5 radiation oncologists. The auto-segmented GTV were compared against each of the manual GTV reference. Inter-observer variation was also assessed using the 5 manual GTV references. RESULTS The proposed anatomic-guided lung GTV segmentation model achieved a mean Dice score of 82.4% and 95% Hausdorff distance (HD95) of 6.9mm when averaged cross 20 patients and 5 GTV references (Table 1), which outperformed the basic deep GTV segmentation model by markedly reducing 19.4% HD95 error. The performance of proposed model was also comparable to the inter-observer variation (Dice score: 82.4% vs. 81.9%, HD95 6.9 vs. 6.4mm), indicating that our model had similar reproducibility as human observers. CONCLUSION We developed and tested an anatomy-guided deep learning model for segmenting GTV in NSCLC patients. The model achieves high quantitative segmentation performance, which is comparable to the human observer variation. It can be potentially used in radiotherapy practice to improve GTV delineation consistency and reduce workloads of radiation oncologists.
