Abstract
BACKGROUND Our study aimed to construct and validate prognostic nomograms for predicting survival for patients with Nonfunctional Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NF-pNET). METHODS This retrospective study included 1824 patients diagnosed with NF-pNET in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database between 2004 and 2016. Randomization divided the patients into training (n = 1278) and validation (n = 546) cohorts. Prognostic factors were determined using Cox regression analyses, nomograms based on AJCC 7th and 8th staging system were constructed separately. The prediction models were validated using internal validation and external validation. RESULTS Age, year of diagnosis, primary tumor site, grade, 7th or 8th TNM stage, surgery, tumor size were determined as prognostic indicator to construct two nomograms. Harrell's concordance index (C-index) of two nomograms exhibited a clinical predictive ability of 0.828 (95%CI, 0.808~0.849) vs 0.828 (95% CI, 0.808~0.849) in the internal verification. The c-index in the external validation was 0.812 (95%CI, 0.778~0.864) vs 0.814 (95% CI, 0.779~0.848). The predictive power of the two nomograms is comparable. CONCLUSIONS Our nomogram may be a effective tool for predicting overall survival in patients with NF-pNET. The AJCC 8th-edition system provides discrimination similar to that of the 7th-edition system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Alexithymia is a psychiatric symptom characterized by difficulties in emotion recognition, expression, and regulation. The purpose of our study was to investigate the prevalence of alexithymia among patients with epilepsy (PWE) and related factors. METHODS By the means of a cross-sectional study, we consecutively recruited PWE who visited the First Hospital of Jilin University. The demographical information and clinical data were collected. Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Kilifi Stigma Scale for Epilepsy (KSSE), Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDI-E), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Nurses' Global Assessment of Suicide Risk scale (NGASR) scales were applied to assess alexithymia, emotion regulation strategies, and the presence of comorbid psychiatric symptoms. RESULTS A total of 203 PWE were included. The differences in education, monthly per capita income of the family, and the number of antiepileptic drugs were statistically significant among these three groups with alexithymia, possible alexithymia, and non-alexithymia (p < 0.05). Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 scores were significantly and positively correlated with BMI (rho = 0.143, p = 0.042). Expression suppression, stigma, and generalized anxiety were independent risk factors for alexithymia (R2 = 0.471, F = 19.075, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A high prevalence of alexithymia (18.7%) was found in PWE. Alexithymia is primarily influenced by the emotional regulation strategies, anxiety, and stigma among PWE. It tends to be a mood symptom or personality trait rather than a direct result of epilepsy.

Abstract
The behavior and mechanisms of the stress-assisted microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of X80 pipeline steel induced by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were investigated using focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB). Electrochemical results show that SRB and stress have a synergistic effect on the corrosion of X80 steel. SRB accelerated the transformation of Fe3O4 into iron-sulfur compounds and may have caused the film breakage of X80 steel products. The obtained FIB results provide direct evidence that SRB promotes the corrosion of X80 steel.

Abstract
Two years after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, acute hepatitis of unknown etiology in children (AHUCD) began to be reported worldwide. The novel coronavirus and adenovirus were found in pathogen and antibody tests in AHUCD cases reported by the World Health Organization. Children are not exposed to the viruses that children are generally exposed to owing to COVID-19 infection preventive measures such as isolation and wearing masks; therefore, some researchers have speculated that this disease is related to reduced exposure to pathogens. Some scientists have also speculated that the disease is related to liver injury and adenoviral hepatitis, which are the sequelae of COVID-19. Some evidence also suggests a weak association between the disease and COVID-19 vaccination. Therefore, further research and investigation of the pathogenesis, preventive measures, and early treatment of hepatitis of unknown etiology are required. This study aimed to synthesize available evidence to further elucidate this disease in order to treat and prevent it effectively.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the predictive performance of the combined model by integrating clinical variables and radiomic features for the accurate detection of prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum levels of 4-10 ng/mL. Methods A retrospective study of 136 males (mean age, 67.3 ± 8.4 years) with Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) v2.1 category ≤3 lesions and PSA serum levels of 4-10 ng/mL were performed. All patients underwent multiparametric MRI at 3.0T and transrectal ultrasound-guided systematic prostate biopsy in their clinical workup. Radiomic features were extracted from axial T2-weighted images (T2WI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps of each patient using PyRadiomics. Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) and recursive feature elimination (RFE) were implemented to identify the most significant radiomic features. Independent clinic-radiological factors were identified via univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Seven machine-learning algorithms were compared to construct a single-layered radiomic score (ie, radscore) and multivariate regression analysis was applied to construct the fusion radscore. Finally, the radiomic nomogram was further developed by integrating useful clinic-radiological factors and fusion radscore using multivariate regression analysis. The discriminative power of the nomogram was evaluated by area under the curve (AUC), DeLong test, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC). Results The transitional zone-specific antigen density was identified as the only independent clinic-radiological factor, which yielded an AUC of 0.592 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.527-0.657). The ADC radscore based on six features and Naive Bayes achieved an AUC of 0.779 (95%CI: 0.730-0.828); the T2WI radscore based on 13 features and Support Vector Machine yielded an AUC of 0.808 (95%CI: 0.761-0.855). The fusion radscore obtained an improved AUC of 0.844 (95%CI: 0.801-0.887), which was higher than the single-layered radscores (both P<0.05). The radiomic nomogram achieved the highest value among all models (all P<0.05), with an AUC of 0.872 (95%CI: 0.835-0.909). Calibration curve showed good agreement and DCA together with CIC confirmed the clinical benefits of the radiomic nomogram. Conclusion The radiomic nomogram holds the potential for accurate and noninvasive identification of PCa in patients with PI-RADS ≤3 lesions and PSA of 4-10 ng/mL, which could reduce unnecessary biopsy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The lack of social support for adults with epilepsy (AWEs) is receiving increased attention, as it may result in low quality of life. This study was aimed to confirm the demographic characteristics of and clinical factors associated with social support for AWEs.
Methods
AWEs were consecutively recruited from our hospital. The 10-term Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) was used to measure social support. A linear regression analysis with stepwise selection was performed to analyze the independent variables associated with social support for AWEs.
Results
In total, 165 AWEs were consecutively included in the present study. Linear regression analysis showed that the marital status (t = -3.550, β = -0.272, P = 0.001), the age at onset (t = 2.545, β = 0.192, P = 0.012), and the QOLIE-31 score (t = 3.144, β = 0.221, P = 0.002) were independent variables associated with social support for AWEs.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that the poor social support is associated with childhood onset of epilepsy and the unmarried status. This study also confirmed a negative influence of low social support on quality of life in AWEs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the process and outcome of vertebral column resection (VCR) at the subapical vertebra for correction of angular kyphosis associated with neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1). METHODS A review and summary of the medical history, radiographs, operative procedure, and complications of a 16-year-old male presenting with severe angular kyphosis associated with NF1 with dyspnea. RESULTS A 16-year-old male presented with severe angular kyphosis associated with NF1 with dyspnea. Preoperative radiographs demonstrated multiple vertebrae were rotated in the vicinity of the apical vertebra, with a wedge-shaped deformity, dysplasia, T10-T12 kyphotic angle of 160°, and T2-L2 kyphotic angle of 95°. VCR at the L1 vertebra (distal end of the apical vertebra) with bone grafting and internal fixation was performed. Postoperative imaging revealed that the T2-L2 Cobb angle was 20°, denoting a correction rate of 79%. The patient's height increased from 130 to 150 cm. The position of internal fixation was not displaced, and the correction angle was maintained at 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The novel strategy of performing VCR at the subapical vertebra, with posterior displacement of the distal end, and remodeling of the spinal canal is potentially a safe and efficacious option to correct sharp angular kyphosis.

Abstract
BackgroundIdentifying the predictors for seizure outcome in autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and investigating how to prevent persistent seizures would have major clinical benefits effectively. Thus, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine seizure outcome-related factors in AE patients.MethodsPubMed and EMBASE were systematically searched from inception to 10 June 2022 for studies investigating seizure outcome-related factors in AE. The pooled effect estimates, including standardized mean differences (SMDs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated to estimate the effect of each included factor on the seizure outcome.ResultsA total of 10 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Our pooled results of this meta-analysis showed that five factors were found to increase the risk of persistent seizures in AE patients, including onset with seizures (OR = 2.106, 95% CI = 1.262–3.514, p = 0.004), status epilepticus (OR = 3.017, 95% CI = 1.995–4.563, p < 0.001), EEG abnormalities (OR = 1.581, 95% CI = 1.016–2.46, p = 0.042), MRI abnormalities (OR = 1.554, 95% CI = 1.044–2.283, p = 0.03), and longer time from clinical onset to immunotherapy (SMD = 1.887, 95% CI = 0.598–3.156, p = 0.004).ConclusionOur meta-analysis indicated that onset with seizures, status epilepticus, EEG abnormalities, MRI abnormalities, and longer time from clinical onset to immunotherapy were risk factors for persistent seizures in AE patients.

Abstract
Brown rot disease broke out in stone fruit orchards of Fujian, China in 2019, despite pre-harvest application of methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC). To determine the reason, a total of 44 Monilinia fructicola strains were collected from nectarine, plum and peach fruits in this study, among which 79.5% strains were resistant to thiophanate-methyl, indicated by discriminatory dose of 5 μg/mL. The resistance of these strains was confirmed by treating detached peach fruit with label rates of formulated thiophanate-methyl which only completely inhibit infection of the sensitive strains, but not the resistant strains. Further analysis of the mechanism of MBC resistance revealed that all resistant strains carry a H6Y mutation in β-tubulin protein Tub2, which was only reported previously in the M. fructicola strains from California, USA, and do not display obvious fitness penalties, as no significant defects in mycelial growth rate, sporulation, conidia germination, aggressiveness on detached peach fruit and temperature sensitivity was detected. In addition, we found that diethofencarb, the agent for managing MBC-resistance strains, was unable to inhibit growth of the H6Y strains. Taken together, our study, for the first time, identified a mutation form of H6Y in the β-tubulin protein of M. fructicola in China, rendering the strains wide resistance to thiophanate-methyl. This mechanism of M. fructicola gaining resistance to MBC fungicides needs to be fully considered, when designing management strategies to control brown rot disease in stone fruit orchards.

Abstract
Tumor protein quantification with high specificity, sensitivity, and efficiency is of great significance to enable early diagnosis and effective treatment. The existing methods for protein analysis usually suffer from high cost, time-consuming operation, and insufficient sensitivity, making them not clinically friendly. In this work, a label-free homogeneous sensor based on the nano-impact electroanalytic (NIE) technique was proposed for the detection of tumor protein marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). The detection principle is based on the recovery of current of single PtNP catalyzed hydrazine oxidation due to the release of the pre-adsorbed passivating aptamers on PtNPs from the competition of the stronger binding between the specific interaction of the AFP aptamer and AFP. The intrinsic one-by-one analytical ability of NIE allows highly sensitive detection, which can be further improved by reducing the reaction/incubation volume. Meanwhile, the current sensor avoids a laborious labeling procedure as well as the separation and washing steps due to the in situ characteristic of NIE. Accordingly, the current sensor enables efficient, highly sensitive, and specific AFP analysis. More importantly, the reliable detection of AFP in diluted real sera from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is successfully achieved, indicating that the impact electrochemistry-based sensing platform has great potential to be applied in point-of-care devices for HCC liquid biopsy.

Abstract
Dysregulation of protein prenylation has been implicated in many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Prenylomic analysis, the combination of metabolic incorporation of an isoprenoid analogue (C15AlkOPP) into prenylated proteins with a bottom-up proteomic analysis, has allowed the identification of prenylated proteins in various cellular models. Here, transgenic AD mice were administered with C15AlkOPP through intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion over 13 days. Using prenylomic analysis, 36 prenylated proteins were enriched in the brains of AD mice. Importantly, the prenylated forms of 15 proteins were consistently upregulated in AD mice compared to nontransgenic wild-type controls. These results highlight the power of this in vivo metabolic labeling approach to identify multiple post-translationally modified proteins that may serve as potential therapeutic targets for a disease that has proved refractory to treatment thus far. Moreover, this method should be applicable to many other types of protein modifications, significantly broadening its scope.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of unilateral vs. bilateral pedicle screw fixation (BPSF) for lumbar degenerative diseases. Methods Electronic databases including PubMed, Web of science, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, MEDLINE, EMBASE, EBSCO were searched by computer. The deadline was set for June 1, 2022. This study included all high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective clinical controlled studies (PRO), and retrospective studies (Retro) that compared unilateral and bilateral pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases. Revman5.3 software was used for meta-analysis after two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias in the study. Results Fourteen studies with a total of 1,086 patients were included. Compared with BPSF, unilateral pedicle screw fixation (UPSF) has shorter operation time and hospital time, and less blood loss and operation cost, operation time [SMD = −1.75, 95% CI (−2.46 to −1.03), P < 0.00001], hospital time [SMD = −1.10, 95% CI (−1.97 to −0.22), P = 0.01], Blood loss [SMD = −1.62, 95% CI (−2.42 to −0.82), P < 0.0001], operation cost [SMD = −14.03, 95% CI (−20.08 to −7.98), P < 0.00001], the ODI after bilateral pedicle screw fixation was lower, and the degree of lumbar dysfunction was lighter, [SMD = 0.19, 95% CI (0.05–0.33), P = 0.007], better fusion effect, fusion rate [RR=0.95, 95% CI (0.91–1.00), P = 0.04]. VAS-Low back pain [SMD = 0.07, 95% CI (−0.07–0.20), P = 0.35], VAS-Leg pain [SMD = 0.18, 95% CI (−0.00–0.36), P = 0.05], SF-36 [SMD = 0.00, 95% CI (−0.30–0.30), P = 1.00], complications rate [RR = 0.94, 95% CI (0.9154–1.63), P = 0.82], the overall difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions Currently limited evidence suggests that UPSF significantly reduces blood loss, significantly shortens the operative time and hospital stay, and reduces blood loss and costs. After BPSF, the ODI was lower, the degree of lumbar spine dysfunction was lower, and the fusion rate was significantly higher. The VAS, SF-36, and complications scores of the two groups were comparable, and there was no significant clinical difference.

Abstract
A numerical model for the prediction of vibration behaviors of a laminated submarine structure consisting of spherical, cylindrical, and cone shells with multiple built-in annular plates is reported in this article. With the aid of the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) concerning plates and shells, the energy expressions of each substructure are derived. The displacement functions in the energy functionals are expanded by the employment of Legendre orthogonal polynomials and circumferential Fourier series. Then, the Rayleigh-Ritz procedure is performed to obtain the eigenfrequency and the corresponding eigenmode of the submarine model. The correctness of the structural model is examined by comparing the results with existing papers and the finite element method, and the maximum deviation is not more than 2.07%. Additionally, the influence of the plate's thickness, position, inner diameter, as well as the laying angle on the intrinsic vibration characteristics of laminated submarine-like structure is determined. The results reveal that rational geometry design and assemblage benefit the vibration performance of the combination. Increasing the thickness of all the annular plates, decreasing the inner radius, and regulating the laminated scheme, make remarkable influence on structural free vibration, with the maximum relative changing rate of frequency exceeding 97%, 16%, and 23%, respectively.

Abstract
This paper provides a numerical solution to the vibration of a rotating cross-ply laminated combined conical-cylindrical shell in the thermal environment. Its numerical discrete solution method uses the meshless method. The combined shell assumed the temperature independence of material property is divided to the fundamental conical and cylindrical shell substructures, and the theoretical formulation for each substructure is derived based on the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Hamilton's principle. The effects of the initial hoop tension and temperature change are considered through the kinetic energy reflecting the effects of centrifugal and Coriolis forces and additional strain energy by the nonlinear part of the Green-Lagrange strains. The substructures are then assembled according to the continuity conditions. The boundary and continuity conditions are simulated by introducing artificial virtual spring technology. The displacement component in the theoretical formulation is approximated using a meshless Chebyshev-RPIM shape function. The reliability of the method is verified by comparing with mature and reliable results. The free vibration characteristics of the rotating combined conical-cylindrical shell structure under various sizes, speeds and temperatures are given by numerical examples.

Abstract
Detritus-based, bell-shaped cobwebs are an ideal model to research the plasticity of web architecture due to clearly separate defense and foraging components. We performed a thorough field investigation on the web architectures of Campanicola campanulata to research its cobweb architecture variation during the growth process and analyzed the energy trade-offs between foraging and defense at different developmental stages. The results indicated that as female C. campanulata growth progressed, they dedicated more energy to defense and less energy to foraging, while males dedicated less energy to both defense and foraging through the growth period. We hypothesize that cobweb spiders dedicate an increasing amount of energy to safety based on evidence obtained from their life-history. Meanwhile, we present a new model to investigate web architecture variation and provide a new framework to quantify the energy allocation between foraging and predator defense for web-building spiders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease. Acupuncture and moxibustion is proved effective in treating UC, but the mechanism has not been clarified. Proteomic technology has revealed a variety of biological markers related to immunity and inflammation in UC, which provide new insights and directions for the study of mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of UC.
AIM To investigate the mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) and herb-partitioned moxibustion (HM) on UC rats by using proteomics technology.
METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the normal (N) group, the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC model (M) group, the HM group, and the EA group. UC rat model was prepared with 3% DSS, and HM and EA interventions at the bilateral Tianshu and Qihai acupoints were performed in HM or EA group. Haematoxylin and eosin staining was used for morphological evaluation of colon tissues. Isotope-labeled relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry were performed for proteome analysis of the colon tissues, followed by bioinformatics analysis and protein-protein interaction networks establishment of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between groups. Then western blot was used for verification of selected DEPs.
RESULTS The macroscopic colon injury scores and histopathology scores in the HM and EA groups were significantly decreased compared to the rats in the M group (P < 0.01). Compared with the N group, a total of 202 DEPs were identified in the M group, including 111 up-regulated proteins and 91 down-regulated proteins, of which 25 and 15 proteins were reversed after HM and EA interventions, respectively. The DEPs were involved in various biological processes such as biological regulation, immune system progression and in multiple pathways including natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity, intestinal immune network for immunoglobulin A (IgA) production, and FcγR-mediated phagocytosis. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways of DEPs between HM and M groups, EA and M groups both included immune-associated and oxidative phosphorylation. Network analysis revealed that multiple pathways for the DEPs of each group were involved in protein-protein interactions, and the expression of oxidative phosphorylation pathway-related proteins, including ATP synthase subunit g (ATP5L), ATP synthase beta subunit precursor (Atp5f), cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4 isoform 1 (Cox4i1) were down-regulated after HM and EA interventions. Subsequent verification of selected DEPs (Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A; nuclear cap binding protein subunit 1; carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1; Cox4i1; ATP synthase subunit b, Atp5f1; doublecortin like kinase 3) by western blot confirmed the reliability of the iTRAQ data, HM and EA interventions can significantly down-regulate the expression of oxidative phosphorylation-associated proteins (Cox4i1, Atp5f1) (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION EA and HM could regulate the expression of ATP5L, Atp5f1, Cox4i1 that associated with oxidative phosphorylation, then might regulate immune-related pathways of intestinal immune network for IgA production, FcγR-mediated phagocytosis, thereby alleviating colonic inflammation of DSS-induced UC rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between insomnia and quality of life (QOL) in epilepsy is poorly understood and may involve interactive variables. We aimed to investigate whether and how insomnia, levels of depression and anxiety symptoms interact to influence QOL in people with epilepsy (PWE). METHODS A consecutive cohort of 179 PWE was enrolled. We collected data on insomnia, levels of depression and anxiety symptoms, and QOL. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDI-E), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and QOL in Epilepsy Inventory (QOLIE-31) were used. The direct, indirect, and total effects of insomnia on QOL were estimated based on a moderated mediation model. RESULTS Depression symptom levels mediated the association between insomnia and QOL (B = 0.09 SE = 0.03, p = 0.01). Depression symptom levels accounted for 34.7% of the total effect of insomnia on QOL. The mediating effect of depression symptom levels was positively moderated by anxiety symptom levels (B = 0.09, SE = 0.03, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION The effect of insomnia on QOL can be partially explained by the mediation of depression symptom levels. Additionally, improving anxiety symptoms may attenuate the indirect effect of insomnia on QOL through depression symptom levels.

Abstract
Background: In recent years, a growing number of researches indicate that S100B may act in migraine, but the relationship between S100B and migraine remains controversial. Therefore, the current study aimed to perform a meta-analysis to quantitatively summarize S100B levels in migraine patients. Methods We used Stata 12.0 software to summarize eligible studies from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases. We applied standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) to appraise the association between S100B and migraine. Results The combined results of nine case-control studies indicated that compared with healthy controls, overall migraine patients had significantly increased S100B levels in peripheral blood (SMD = 0.688, 95%CI: 0.341–1.036, P < 0.001). The S100B levels in migraineurs during ictal periods (SMD =1.123, 95%CI: 0.409–1.836, P = 0.002) and interictal periods (SMD = 0.487, 95%CI: 0313–0.661, P < 0.001), aura (SMD = 0.999, 95%CI: 0.598–1.400, P < 0.001) and without aura (SMD = 0.534, 95%CI: 0.286–0.783, P < 0.001) were significantly higher than those in the controls. The subgroup analyses by age, country, migraine assessment, and assay method of S100B also illustrated a statistically obvious association between S100B levels and migraine, indicating that age may be the most important source of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis showed that no individual study has a significant influence on the overall association between S100B and migraine. Conclusion This meta-analysis demonstrates that the level of S100B in peripheral blood of patients with migraine was significantly increased. Migraine may be associated with pathological reactions involving S100B, which is instrumental for the clinical diagnosis of migraine and therapy that considers S100B as a potential target.

Abstract
Background Numerous factors are related to the prognosis of rectal cancer, including T stage, N stage, metastasis, extramural venous invasion (EMVI), circumferential resection margin (CRM), and tumor differentiation. However, it is still a challenge to precisely evaluate them before therapy; therefore, we investigate whether synthetic magnetic resonance imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values could help predict the prognostic factors of rectal cancer. Methods Eighty-seven patients (55 men and 32 women; mean age, 59±11 years) with pathologically confirmed rectal cancer were enrolled. Preoperative quantitative metrics, including T1, T2, proton density (PD), and ADC values, were measured with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) acquired by a single-shot echo-planar sequence and synthetic magnetic resonance imaging acquired by a multi-dynamic multi-echo sequence at 3.0 T, in patients with rectal cancer by two radiologists. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of synthetic magnetic resonance imaging using the independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and multivariate logistic regression analyses and compared the area under the ROC curve of quantitative values using the DeLong test. Results The T2 and PD values showed a significant reduction among patients with poor differentiation and lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer. The area under the ROC curve values of T2 and PD values for predicting magnetic resonance imaging N stage and differentiation were 0.734, 0.682, and 0.673, 0.686, respectively. Moreover, combining T2 and PD values for magnetic resonance imaging N stage slightly improved the area under the ROC curve value of 0.774 (95% CI, 0.673-0.876). In the present study, the ADC and T1 values were not significant in the differentiation or clinical stage of rectal cancer (RC). Conclusions Quantitative T2 and PD values obtained by synthetic magnetic resonance imaging might be used for evaluating prognostic factors of rectal cancer noninvasively. Furthermore, combining T2 and PD values further improved the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging N staging in rectal cancer. The ADC and T1 values were not significant in the differentiation or clinical stage of RC.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the relapse rate and study the factors that may predict the subsequent relapse in anti-NMDAR, anti-GABABR and anti-LGI1 encephalitis in Northeast China. Methods In the retrospective cohort study, we consecutively enrolled patients with anti-N1MDAR, anti-GABABR and anti-LGI1 encephalitis between March 2015 and November 2021. The patients were followed up for at least 6 months. The outcome variable was a binary variable of relapse or not. Predictors of relapse were identified. Results A total of 100 patients were enrolled. Relapse occurred in 26 (26%) patients after a median follow-up of 18 months since the first event. The relapse rates of anti - NMDAR, anti - GABABR and anti - LGI1 encephalitis were 25%, 33.3%, and 28.6%, respectively. The multivariable analysis results suggested that immunotherapy delay at the acute phase was independently associated with an increased risk of relapse in total patients (HR = 2.447, 95% CI = 1.027 - 5.832; P = 0.043). Subgroup analysis results showed that antibody titer was associated with the likelihood of relapse in anti-LGI1 encephalitis. The higher the concentration, the more likely it was for patients to have relapse (p=0.019). Conclusion The general relapse rate of anti-NMDAR, anti-GABABR and anti-LGI1 encephalitis was 26%. The risk of subsequent relapse was elevated in those with delayed immunotherapy in the first episode. In subgroup of anti-LGI1 encephalitis, higher antibody titer was the risk factors of relapse. Thus, timely and aggressive immunotherapy may be beneficial for patients to prevent subsequent relapse.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus(HBV) is the pathogen causing hepatitis B, which is characterized by strong infectivity, high incidence, and widespread prevalence and has seriously threatened human health and affected their quality of life. Anti-HBV drugs in western medicine mainly include nucleosides(nucleic acids) and interferons, among which nucleosides(nucleic acids) are used more often. Due to the easy development of drug resistance, their therapeutic effects are not remarkable. Interferons can easily cause serious adverse reactions such as liver injury. Anti-HBV drugs in traditional Chinese medicine mainly include single Chinese herbs(Artemisiae Scopariae Herba, Artemisiae Annuae Herba, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, etc.) and Chinese herbal compounds(Yinchenhao Decoction, Xiaochaihu Decoction, Tiaogan Huaxian Pills, etc.), whose chemical compositions and action targets have not been fully identified. The combined medication is better than single medication, in that the former can improve drug resistance, make up each other's deficiencies, reduce adverse reactions, and prolong the action time. This study reviewed the anti-HBV activities and mechanisms of western drugs, Chinese herbs, and combined medications, in order to provide reference for the development and research of new anti-HBV drugs.

Abstract
The bin packing problem has a wide range of applications in industry. With the upgrade of the task difficulty, the traditional 2d rectangular layout algorithm can no longer meet the needs of modern industry, such as express packing task and exoplanet ore collection task. The express or ore samples come in heterogeneous shapes so they cannot all be treated as rectangular pieces. In this paper, we propose a three-stage method called covering, corner-searching and occupying (C,S&O) to solve the two-dimensional multishape part packing problem. The objective of the packing problem variant is to ensure maximum use of the raw material and minimize the trim loss. The algorithm cannot make use of information about the sequence of future objects that are going to arrive, only knowing the shape and size of the coming one, and the coming part must be packed into the bin immediately after its arrival without buffering or readjusting. The method of C,S&O hybridizes the idea of “gold corners, silver edges and grass belly” in the Chinese game Go and the method of finding picture corners in machine vision. In the first stage, the rectangular bin and the coming part are transformed into matrix representation, and generating the position matrix that indicates possible ways of packing the part into the bin. In the second stage, the suitable layout position of the coming part is obtained using machine vision image processing technology for reference. The third stage is calculating the environment matching degree to determine the current optimal placement orientation. In order to facilitate the display of the simulation results, only three shapes of parts are considered in the simulation, rectangle, circle and triangle. The experimental results show the effectiveness of this method. Consulting the literature, it is found that this paper is the first to propose a layout method for multishape manufacturing parts.

Abstract
Relapse and drug resistance are the main causes of mortality in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) is a key biological mechanism that leads to relapse and drug resistance. Phenotypic plasticity is an important factor that leads to ITH in SCLC, although its mechanisms and key regulatory factors remain to be elucidated. In the present study, cell proliferation and cell switch assay were measured using trypan blue. Alamar Blue was used to test drug sensitivity. Differential genes were screened by RNA sequencing. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting were performed to assess the expressions of CSF2/p-STAT3/MYC pathway related molecules, neuroendocrine (NE)/non-neuroendocrine (non-NE), transcription factors and drug-related targets. The present study found that SCLC cell line NCI-H69 exhibited adherent (H69A) and suspensive (H69S) phenotypes, which could switch back and forth. The two phenotypic cells had significant differences in cellular NE and non-NE characteristics, drug sensitivity and expression of drug-related targets. RNA sequencing showed that granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [i.e., colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2)] was the main differentially expressed gene between the two phenotypes and that H69A cells highly expressed CSF2. The inhibition of CSF2 promoted the transformation from H69A to H69S, increased drug sensitivity and NE marker expression and decreased the non-NE marker expression in H69A. The STRING, Pathway Commons and Reactome databases showed a potential regulatory relationship between CSF2 and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3)/MYC. p-STAT3 and MYC expression was higher in H69A cells than in H69S cells and CSF2 silencing inhibited their expression. Taken together, these results indicated that CSF2 may regulate the phenotypic plasticity of SCLC through the phosphorylated STAT3/MYC pathway, thereby limiting the transformation between cell clones with different phenotypes and changing the sensitivity of specific cell clones to targeted drugs. Targeting CSF2 may be a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome drug resistance in SCLC treatment by influencing ITH.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the clinical characteristics of acute symptomatic seizures and the predictors of the development of epilepsy in patients with anti-NMDAR, anti-LGI1, and anti-GABABR encephalitis. Methods We retrospectively screened the medical records of 86 hospitalized patients with confirmed autoimmune encephalitis (AE). The clinical characteristics of acute symptomatic seizures were analyzed. The predictors of the development of epilepsy were investigated using logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 86 patients with AE were finally included. Eighty-six percent of patients (n = 74) experienced acute symptomatic seizures, and 28.4% of patients developed epilepsy during follow-up. Abnormal EEG findings were more frequent in AE patients with acute symptomatic seizures. A greater number of anti-seizure medications (ASMs), abnormal EEG findings, and delayed immunotherapy were found to be independently associated with the development of epilepsy. Conclusion Acute symptomatic seizures are a common manifestation in AE patients. During follow-up, 28.4% of AE patients developed epilepsy. The independent factors that predicted the development of epilepsy after the acute phase included a larger number of ASMs, EEG abnormalities, and delayed immunotherapy. In clinical practice, we should prioritize immunotherapy to control acute seizures as soon as possible. For AE patients with an increased risk of developing epilepsy, early withdrawal of ASM is not recommended.

Abstract
Upon exposure to the prevailing environment, leaves become increasingly colonized by fungi and bacteria located on the surface (epiphytic) or within (endophytic) the leaves. Many cool season grasses, including Achnatherum inebrians, host a seed-borne, intercellular, mutualistic Epichloë fungal endophyte, the growth of which is synchronized with the host grass. A study utilizing illumina sequencing was used to examine the epiphytic and endophytic microbial communities in Epichloë endophyte-infected and endophyte-free A. inebrians plants growing under hot dry field conditions. The presence of Epichloë endophyte increased the Shannon and decreased Simpson diversity of bacterial and fungal communities. Sphingomonas and Hymenobacter bacteria and Filobasidium and Mycosphaerella fungi were growing largely epiphytically, whereas Methylobacterium, Escherichia-Shigella, and the fungus Blumeria were mostly found within leaves with the location of colonization influenced by the Epichloë endophyte. In addition, leaf metabolites in Epichloë-infected and Epichloë-free leaves were examined using LC/MS. Epichloë was significantly correlated with 132 metabolites. Epichloë altered the composition and diversity of phyllosphere microbial communities 414 detected metabolites were annotated, of which the 132 differential metabolites There were 229 significant correlations between metabolites and microbial phyla

Abstract
Background The main challenge of polymeric micelles as drug delivery systems is that the actual delivery efficiency is not as high as expected, which is closely related with the interactions with the complex biological environments such as blood components, phagocytosis, and biodistribution. Herein, we expect to understand these concerns for the clinically relevant micelles that composed of methoxypolyethylene glycol (MPEG) with identical chain length And poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with tunable chain length (PCLn-MPEG) (n=20, 30, and 40) wherein doxorubicin was encapsulated as a model drug. Methods The doxorubicin-loaded PCLn-MPEG micelles were prepared by a dialysis method and characterized by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The surface PEG density and chain conformation were investigated by dissipative particle dynamics simulation. The stability of the micelles was detected by nanoparticle tracking analysis. The effects of PCL chain length on the blood components, phagocytosis, and biodistribution were assayed in vitro and in vivo. Results The micelles exhibited spherical morphology with a diameter about 30nm. The PEG chain conformation from “mushroom-like” to “brush-like” was evident. The micelles have no remarkable effect on the red blood cells, blood coagulation, and platelet activation. Interestingly, the protein adsorption was affected and dependent on the chain conformation, with lowest adsorption for PCL30-MPEG, which also has the loWest phagocytosis. The stability of the micelles was in the order of PCL40-MPEG>PCL30-MPEG>PCL20-MPEG which was dependent on the PCL chain length. The micelles mainly accumulated in liver, with the order consistent with their stability, indicating that, besides the phagocytosis, the stability of the micelle plays an important role in biodistribution as well. The related mechanisms were proposed and discussed. Conclusion Manipulating the PEG/PCL ratio of the micelle is an effective approach to modulate the protein adsorption, phagocytosis, and biodistribution, which may be a prerequisite for clinical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the global research routine and trends of acute pancreatitis over the last twenty years based on the production, hotspots, and frontiers of published articles as well as to provide the global health system with a bibliometric reference. METHODS The Web of Science core collection database was retrieved for acute pancreatitis original articles and review articles published from January 1, 1999 to May 17, 2020. Duplicates and discrete papers were excluded. Articles were evaluated for several characteristics including number of citations, publication time, country of origin, institution, journal and authorship. RESULTS A total of 7001 articles originated from 94 countries and were published in 1263 journals. The China contributed most articles (1752) followed by USA (1214). The research was major published in specialized journals including the Pancreas (511) and pancreatology (351). Universities were the main institutions of science progress. High-impact articles focused on the fields of clinical medicine. A steady growth was observed in the last 20 years from 1999 to 2020. CONCLUSION This comprehensive bibliometric study indicates that severe acute pancreatitis and necrotizing pancreatitis are significant topic in the acute pancreatitis research. The structured information may be helpful in understanding research trends, and locating research hot spots and gaps in this domain.

Abstract
The germline mutation landscape in Chinese lung cancer patients has not been well defined. In this study, sequencing data of 1,021 cancer genes of 1,794 Chinese lung cancer patients was analyzed. A total of 111 pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline mutations were identified, significantly higher than non-cancer individuals (111/1794 vs. 84/10,588, p < 2.2e-16). BRCA1/2 germline mutations are associated with earlier onset age (median 52.5 vs 60 years-old, p = 0.008). Among 29 cancer disposition genes with germline mutations detected in Chinese cohort and/or TCGA lung cancer cohort, Only 11 from 29 genes are identified in both cohorts and BRCA2 mutations are significantly more common in Chinese cohort (p = 0.015). Chinese patients with germline mutations have different prevalence of somatic KRAS, MET exon 14 skipping and TP53 mutations compared to those without. Our findings suggest potential ethnic and etiologic differences between Western and Asian lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy of phenobarbital (PB), factors associated with it, reasons for early treatment termination, and mortality rates in adult women living in rural Northeast China. Methods A prospective study was conducted in seven counties of Jilin Province from 2010 to 2020. Adult women diagnosed with convulsive epilepsy were recruited into the study and baseline demographics recorded upon enrollment. Seizure frequency, prescribed drug dose, and adverse reactions were monitored monthly by door-to-door survey or telephone interview. Results A total of 1,333 women were included in the study. During the follow-up period, 169 participants (12.7%) were lost to follow-up, and 100 of them (7.5%) died. The percentage of seizure-free participants was 45.3% in the first year, 74.6% in the third year, and 96.6% in the 10th year. A higher baseline seizure frequency (OR = 1.005, 95% CI: 1.002–1.009), more frequent loss-of-consciousness seizures (OR = 1.620, 95% CI: 1.318–1.990), a higher daily dose of PB in the first year (OR = 1.018, 95% CI: 1.014–1.022), a younger age at onset (OR = 0.990, 95% CI: 0.982–0.998), and more severe drowsiness (OR = 1.727, 95% CI: 1.374–2.173) were associated with an increased risk of seizures in the first year, and the higher baseline seizure frequency was still associated with the occurrence of seizures in the third (OR = 1.007, 95% CI: 1.004–1.010) and fifth year (OR = 1.005, 95% CI: 1.002–1.008). Age at enrollment (HR = 0.983, 95% CI: 0.971–0.994) was the only factor that correlated with withdrawal from the study and with the death of the participant during the follow up period, but the correlation in each case was in opposite directions. Significance PB has high effectiveness, retention rate, mild side effects, and tolerability when used as a treatment for epilepsy in women from rural areas. Baseline seizure frequency is an important predictor of prognosis regardless of treatment duration. PB is still a valuable tool for the management of epilepsy in adult women from poverty-stricken areas.

Abstract
ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the mortality rate and identify the predictors of death in patients with anti-NMDAR, anti-LGI1, and anti-GABABR encephalitis.MethodsPatients with anti-NMDAR, anti-LGI1, and anti-GABABR encephalitis were recruited from the Neurology Department of the First Hospital of Jilin University from March 2015 to November 2021. The primary outcome variable was a binary variable of death vs. survival. The potential risk factors for mortality were evaluated. The mortality rates were determined, and the independent predictors of death were identified using multivariable logistic regression analysis.ResultsA total of 100 hospitalized patients with anti-NMDAR, anti-LGI1, or anti-GABABR encephalitis were included in the final analysis. Fifteen patients (15%) died during a median follow-up period of 18 months. The mortality rates were 10% for anti-NMDAR encephalitis, 2.8% for anti-LGI1 encephalitis, and 41.7% for anti-GABABR encephalitis. The multivariable analysis results showed that older age at onset [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.017, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.009–1.136; p = 0.023] was independently associated with an increased risk of death. Antibody type was also associated with mortality. Patients with anti-GABABR encephalitis had 13.458-fold greater odds of dying than patients with anti-LGI1 encephalitis (adjusted OR = 13.458, 95% CI = 1.270–142.631; p = 0.031).ConclusionThe general mortality rate of anti-NMDAR, anti-LGI1, and anti-GABABR encephalitis was 15%. Age at onset and type of autoimmune encephalitis antibody were independent predictors of death in these patients.

Abstract
PurposeThis study aims to answer the following questions: how many people with epilepsy (PWE) have cigarette smoking habits? Which demographic or clinical characteristics are associated with cigarette smoking? Is cigarette smoking related to depressive and anxiety symptoms in PWE?MethodsA total of 524 PWE were included in the final analysis. Demographic and clinical data were gathered and recorded. Smoking status was identified. The associations of smoking status with the clinical features of epilepsy and depressive and anxiety symptoms were evaluated by logistic regression models.ResultsThe overall prevalence of cigarette smoking was 23.5% (123 PWE) in this sample. In the multivariate logistic regression model, men (adjusted OR = 10.414, 95% CI: 5.552–19.535, P < 0.001), high seizure frequency (adjusted OR = 1.474, 95% CI: 1.043–2.084, P = 0.028), and anxiety symptoms (adjusted OR = 2.473, 95% CI: 1.483–4.112, P = 0.001) were shown to have independent associations with cigarette smoking in PWE.ConclusionOur findings suggested that the overall prevalence of cigarette smoking was 23.5% in adults with epilepsy, which is slightly lower than that (26.6%) in general adults in China. In the present study, cigarette smoking was associated with men, high seizure frequency, and anxiety symptoms in PWE. Further prospective clinical studies with larger sample sizes are required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No study on the relationship between hepatic steatosis and sex hormone levels in male patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection has been conducted. AIMS We aimed to investigate the association between serum sex hormones and hepatic steatosis among a cohort of males with CHB. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 268 male patients with CHB were enrolled. All participants underwent anthropometric measurement, blood testing, and FibroScan test. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association of serum sex hormones with hepatic steatosis. RESULTS We included 137 males with and 131 without hepatic steatosis in this study. Subjects with serum testosterone (T) levels in the highest tertile had an odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval [CI]) of 0.35 (0.18-0.70) (P for trend=0.003); those with serum prolactin (PRL) levels in the highest tertile had an OR (95%CI) of 0.21 (0.10-0.45) (P for trend<0.001); and those with serum estradiol/testosterone (E2/T) in the highest tertile had an OR (95%CI) of 4.02 (1.97-8.20) (P for trend<0.001) for hepatic steatosis. CONCLUSION Lower serum total T and PRL levels and higher total E2/T are independently associated with presence of hepatic steatosis in male patients with CHB.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of our case-control study was to find the influence of lifestyle and comorbidities on COVID-19 susceptibility, identify risk factors and protective factors, and identify ways to encourage people to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Methods: Patients with COVID-19 were matched with non-COVID-19 participants in a ratio of 1:2. Univariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis was performed using conditional logistic regression. Results: Multivariate analysis using conditional logistic regression found that alcohol consumption (AC) and a bland diet increased the risk of COVID-19, while college degrees and above, smoking, drinking tea, and exercise, especially walking, significantly reduced the risk of COVID-19. Conclusion: After removing the effects of demographic factors, the study demonstrated that AC significantly reduced the ability of the body to resist COVID-19 infection. Moreover, following a bland diet increased the susceptibility to COVID-19. Notably, people who drank tea and performed regular exercises, especially walking, were significantly less likely to be infected with COVID-19. College degree or above relative illiteracy is COVID-19 protective factors of infection.

Abstract
A novel low-power distributed Visual Sensor Network (VSN) system is proposed, which performs real-time collaborative barcode localization, tracking, and robust identification. Due to a dynamic triggering mechanism and efficient transmission protocols, communication is organized amongst the nodes themselves rather than being orchestrated by a single sink node, achieving lower congestion and significantly reducing the vulnerability of the overall system. Specifically, early detection of the moving barcode is achieved through a dynamic triggering mechanism. A hierarchical transmission protocol is designed, within which different communication protocols are used, depending on the type of data exchanged among nodes. Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) is employed for video communication, while the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Long Range (LoRa) protocol are used for passing messages amongst the nodes in the VSN. Through an extensive experimental evaluation, we demonstrate that the proposed distributed VSN brings substantial advantages in terms of accuracy, power savings, and time complexity compared to an equivalent system performing centralized processing.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to determine the prevalence of social isolation and associated factors among adults with epilepsy in northeast China. Methods: A cohort of consecutive patients with epilepsy (PWE) from the First Hospital of Jilin University (Changchun, China) was recruited. Demographic and clinical data for each patient were collected during a face-to-face interview. Social isolation was measured using the Berkman-Syme Social Network Index (SNI), and the Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDI-E) and Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory (QOLIE-31) were also administered. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the factors associated with social isolation in PWE. Results: A total of 165 patients were included in the final analysis. The mean SNI score was 2.56 (SD: 1.19), and 35 patients (21.2%) were socially isolated. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, higher depressive symptom levels (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.003-1.318, P = 0.045) and poorer quality of life (OR = 0.967, 95% CI: 0.935-0.999, P = 0.047) emerged as independent factors associated with social isolation in PWE. Conclusion: Social isolation is common and occurs in approximately one-fifth of PWE. Social isolation is significantly associated with depressive symptoms and poor quality of life in PWE. Patients need to be encouraged to actively integrate with others and reduce social isolation, which may help improve their quality of life.
