Abstract
BACKGROUND More than half of early breast cancer recurrences occur after 5 years from the initial diagnosis. An individualized estimate of the risk of late-period breast cancer-specific death (LP-BCSD) after 5 years of endocrine therapy (ET) can improve decision-making for extended endocrine therapy (EET). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 147,059 eligible patients with breast cancer who survived 5+ years after diagnosis between 1990 and 2007 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate analyses based on the competing risk regression model were used to evaluate predictive factors for high risk of LP-BCSD or late-period non-breast cancer-specific death (LP-non-BCSD). Significant factors were used to build a nomogram to individualize estimates of LP-BCSD or LP-non-BCSD. RESULTS The 5- and 10-year LP-BCSD rates were 5.7% and 10.1%, respectively, and the 5- and 10-year LP-non-BCSD rates were 6.7% and 15.5%, respectively. Young age, black race, single marital status, poor differentiation, large tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and estrogen receptor-positive/progesterone receptor-negative (ER+/PR-) status were independent predictive factors for high risk of LP-BCSD. Age was the most important factor for predicting high risk of LP-non-BCSD. The nomograms, which were based on significant factors identified by the competing risk regression model. A risk score system based on the competing risk nomogram was established to describe the relative risk of LP-BCSD and LP-non-BCSD. CONCLUSION This study explored the novel endpoint of LP-BCSD for further clinical trials. The risk score system might be highly useful for patient counseling, especially in discussing EET options with elderly or comorbid patients.

Abstract
In liquid argon time projection chambers exposed to neutrino beams and running on or near surface levels, cosmic muons, and other cosmic particles are incident on the detectors while a single neutrino-induced event is being recorded. In practice, this means that data from surface liquid argon time projection chambers will be dominated by cosmic particles, both as a source of event triggers and as the majority of the particle count in true neutrino-triggered events. In this work, we demonstrate a novel application of deep learning techniques to remove these background particles by applying deep learning on full detector images from the SBND detector, the near detector in the Fermilab Short-Baseline Neutrino Program. We use this technique to identify, on a pixel-by-pixel level, whether recorded activity originated from cosmic particles or neutrino interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) and systemic therapy has the potential to treat chemotherapy-refractory unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). This study aimed to compare survival after this combined treatment versus systemic chemotherapy alone. METHODS This single-centre RCT included patients with unresectable CRLMs that progressed after first-line treatment. Patients were randomized on a 1 : 1 basis to either systemic chemotherapy with or without cTACE, without further stratification. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary outcomes were overall response rate, disease control rate, conversion rate to liver resection, overall survival, and adverse events. RESULTS Of 180 patients recruited, 168 were randomized. Eighty-five patients in arm A received systemic chemotherapy plus cTACE and 83 in arm B received systemic chemotherapy alone. Median PFS was longer in arm A than B (6.7 versus 3.8 months; hazard ratio (HR) 0.67, 95 per cent c.i. 0.49 to 0.91; P = 0.009), but did not translate into prolonged median overall survival (18.4 versus 14.8 months; HR = 0.92, 0.62 to 1.36; P = 0.669). Overall response rates (20 versus 22 per cent; P = 0.788) and conversion rate to liver resection (18 versus 16 per cent; P = 0.730) were no different between arms A and B. The disease control rate was higher in arm A than arm B (67 versus 51 per cent; P = 0.030). No adverse event higher than grade 3 according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events was observed during treatment. CONCLUSION Systemic chemotherapy plus cTACE is a safe option as second-line treatment for unresectable colorectal liver metastases, with a modest effect on PFS. Registration number: NCT03783559 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).

Abstract
Monolithic, millimeter wave "system-on-chip" technology has been employed in chip heterodyne radiometers in a newly developed Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging (ECEI) system on the DIII-D tokamak for 2D electron temperature and fluctuation diagnostics. The system employs 20 horn-waveguide receiver modules each with customized W-band (75-110 GHz) monolithic microwave integrated circuit chips comprising a W-band low noise amplifier, a balanced mixer, a ×2 local oscillator (LO) frequency doubler, and two intermediate frequency amplifier stages in each module. Compared to previous quasi-optical ECEI arrays with Schottky mixer diodes mounted on planar antennas, the upgraded W-band array exhibits >30 dB additional gain and 20× improvement in noise temperature; an internal eight times multiplier chain is used to provide LO coupling, thereby eliminating the need for quasi-optical coupling. The horn-waveguide shielding housing avoids out-of-band noise interference on each module. The upgraded ECEI system plays an important role for absolute electron temperature and fluctuation measurements for edge and core region transport physics studies. An F-band receiver chip (up to 140 GHz) is under development for additional fusion facilities with a higher toroidal magnetic field. Visualization diagnostics provide multi-scale and multi-dimensional data in plasma profile evolution. A significant aspect of imaging measurement is focusing on artificial intelligence for science applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of exenatide on the expression of ABCA1 and cholesterol metabolism in the pancreas of obese diabetic rats. OBJECTIVE Twenty-four normal male SD rats and 18 obese diabetic rats (induced by high-fat feeding and STZ injection) were both divided equally into 2 groups for injections of saline or exenatide. After treatment for a week, the expression of ABCA1, cholesterol metabolism, and islet function of the rats were examined using real-time PCR, Western blotting, oil red O staining, cholesterol content determination, and HE staining. OBJECTIVE The expressions of ABCA1 at both mRNA and protein levels in pancreatic tissue were significantly lower in obese diabetic rats than in normal SD rats. The obese diabetic rats showed obvious lipid deposition and increased cholesterol content in the pancreatic tissue with significantly reduced islet volume and structural changes (P < 0.05); exenatide treatment of the diabetic rats significantly up-regulated ABCA1 expression, reduced lipid deposition and cholesterol content in pancreatic tissue, and increased number and volume of the islets, which presented with more orderly alignment (P < 0.05). OBJECTIVE Obese diabetic rats have lowered ABCA1 expression, cholesterol efflux block, and cholesterol accumulation in the pancreatic tissue. Exenatide can up-regulate ABCA1 expression and promote cholesterol efflux to reduce cholesterol content in the pancreatic tissue and improve islet function in obese diabetic rats.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disease that arises as a consequence of mutations in the SLC12A3 gene, which codes for an Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) in distal renal tubules. This study was designed to explore the mutations associated with GS in an effort to more fully understand the molecular mechanisms governing GS. METHODS We analyzed SLC12A3 mutations in a pedigree including a 42-year-old male with GS as well as four related family members over three generations using Sanger and next generation sequencing approaches. We additionally explored the functional ramifications of identified mutations using both Xenopus oocytes and the HEK293T cell line. RESULTS We found that the subject with GS exhibited characteristic symptoms including sporadic thirst, fatigue, excess urination, and substantial hypokalemia and hypocalciuria, although magnesium levels were normal. Other analyzed subjects in this pedigree had normal laboratory findings and did not exhibit clear signs of GS. Sequencing analyses revealed that the GS subject exhibited a homozygous missense mutation (c.2874C > G, p.N958K) in exon 24 of SLC12A3. Both parents of this GS subject, as well as his older brother and daughter all exhibited heterozygous mutations at this same site. Functional analyses in Xenopus oocytes indicated that this mutated SLC12A3 gene encodes a protein which fails to mediate normal sodium transport, and when this mutant gene was expressed in HEK293T cells, we observed significant increases in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress pathway activation. CONCLUSION The p.N958K mutation in exon 24 of SLC12A3 can trigger GS at least in part via enhancing ER stress responses.

Abstract
Cutaneous metastasis of rectal cancer is rare and typically indicates widespread disease and poor prognosis. We report an exceedingly rare case of BRAF-mutated MSS rectal cancer with metastasis to the skin. A 53-year-old woman presented with stage IV unresectable adenocarcinoma of the rectum and received chemotherapy and molecularly targeted agents. Six months later she developed a focal skin nodule in the left groin. During treatment with four cycles of FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab, the skin nodules gradually increased in size, involving the skin of the left thigh. A portion of the rash was bleeding and painful. The biopsy specimen was consistent with a mucinous adenocarcinoma of rectal origin and expressed reduced CDX-2. Palliative treatment with FOLFIRI plus cetuximab and vemurafenib was initiated. The cutaneous nodules decreased in size but were not stable. The patient had severe electrolyte disturbances and depression and opted for palliative care.

Abstract
We report on the first measurement of flux-integrated single differential cross sections for charged-current (CC) muon neutrino (ν_{μ}) scattering on argon with a muon and a proton in the final state, ^{40}Ar (ν_{μ},μp)X. The measurement was carried out using the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber detector with an exposure of 4.59×10^{19} protons on target. Events are selected to enhance the contribution of CC quasielastic (CCQE) interactions. The data are reported in terms of a total cross section as well as single differential cross sections in final state muon and proton kinematics. We measure the integrated per-nucleus CCQE-like cross section (i.e., for interactions leading to a muon, one proton, and no pions above detection threshold) of (4.93±0.76_{stat}±1.29_{sys})×10^{-38} cm^{2}, in good agreement with theoretical calculations. The single differential cross sections are also in overall good agreement with theoretical predictions, except at very forward muon scattering angles that correspond to low-momentum-transfer events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening cardiovascular condition. Studies showed that PE patients were associated with disorders of lipid metabolism and had higher triglyceride and lower HDL-C levels compared with healthy. We conducted the genome-wide association study to identify novel loci contributing to PE.
Methods
We conducted a large-scale GWAS of PE in 5,466 PE cases and 461,219 controls of European ancestry from the UK Biobank (466,685 participants total). We used genome-wide summary statistics to test for enrichment of functional annotations using ENRICHR. Example pathways included in Enrichr for testing include membership of genes in pathway databases such as the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Wikipathway, PANTHER, BioCarta or NCI-Nature pathways. We analyzed the pathways using combined score and p-values which were well validated by comparing to several methods. For pathway analyses, we considered a nominal P-value threshold of 0.05.
Results
We identified genome-wide significant genetic associations in 63 independent genetic loci for PE (P<5.0x10–7). Our findings for top pathways highlight that lipid metabolism (LIPC, LCAT, NPC2), caffeine metabolism (NAT2), and sudden cardiac death (ABCG8) related genetic loci play an important role in PE alongside genes already associated with coagulation-thrombosis pathway (VWF, THPO, PTPN11, INPP5D, UROS, HMBS) (all p-values p-values <0.05).
Conclusion
Our findings uncovered unexpected novel factors of PE etiology, suggesting novel mechanistic concepts of PE pathophysiology.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) is a selective degradation system mediating the removal of intracellular unfolded/misfolded proteins and is essential for cardiomyocyte (CM) health. Substrate specificity and ubiquitination rate are mediated by E3 ubiquitin-ligases, such as Atrogin1 and MuRF1, which are specifically expressed in muscle cells. Perturbation of protein quality control causes aggregation of misfolded proteins, leading to CM proteotoxicity. UPS dysfunction occurs in ageing, a risk factor for cardiac hypertrophy and HF. We recently demonstrated that Atrogin-1 is essential to maintain CM health, during ageing. Whether MuRF1 plays similar roles in heart adaptation to ageing is still unexplored, and different studies have yielded contrasting results.
Methods
To assess the role of MuRF1 in heart homeostasis, we combined echocardiography, histology, IF, TUNEL assay and EM on heart sections from MuRF1 knock-out (KO) mice, and littermate controls, at 3, 10 and 24 mo. RTqPCR and WB assessed markers of UPS and extracellular matrix. Langendorff procedure was used to separate CMs from cardiac fibroblasts. Molecular and IF analyses were performed in heart samples from patients affected by aortic stenosis.
Results
MuRF1 ablation leads to cardiac hypertrophy, progressing during ageing (LV CM areas: 3 mo., KO: 329.14±10.66 vs Ctrl: 296.25±5.43; 10 mo., KO: 399.73±7.64 vs Ctrl: 247.49±3.67; 24 mo., KO: 418.89±11.10 vs. Ctrl: 209.93±4.48, in μm2). The hypertrophic remodeling was accompanied by diastolic dysfunction in the adulthood and, during ageing, also by systolic dysfunction (EF, 24 mo., KO: 29.55±8.82 vs Ctrl: 51.23±6.56, in %). Loss of MuRF1 causes increased interstitial collagen -I and -VI deposition, even before the onset of contractile dysfunction, followed by activation of Matrix MetalloProteinases (MMPs), suggesting that such alterations may be responsible for decreased cardiac performance. Interestingly, collagen established rings enveloping MuRF1 KO CMs and such fibrotic remodeling was not accompanied by increased CM apoptosis, nor myofibroblast activation. Such peculiar remodelling, called peri-endomysial fibrosis, was detected in hearts from patients with aortic stenosis, a condition in which MuRF1 levels decrease. Our data supports that MuRF1 has a role in CM-dependent regulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics. Consistently, MuRF1 downregulation in normal cultured CMs demonstrated that such ubiquitin ligase impacts on signaling pathways involved in the control of the ECM homeostasis. In addition, fibroblasts treated with culture medium conditioned by MuRF1 KO CM display increased collagen and MMP expression.
Conclusions
We identifieded a novel role of MuRF1 in the control of CM proteostasis, and unveiled that in addition to cardiac fibroblasts, CM may directly regulate ECM dynamics, indicating that the correct function of MuRF1 is essential for heart adaptation to aging.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Since cardiorenal syndrome has been increasingly recognised as the intense interaction between the heart and the kidneys, we hypothesised that in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), a biomarker of cardiovascular stress and heart failure (HF), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), can predict adverse renal outcomes.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of NT-proBNP to predict need for dialysis and dialysis dependence in patients with AKI.
Methods
We analysed the association between baseline NT-proBNP measured before renal consultation, and need for dialysis and dialysis dependence, using a cohort of 1,052 AKI patients admitted to the Cleveland Clinic between 2011 and 2016. AKI was defined as acute increase in serum creatinine (Cr) of at least 0.3 mg/dL or 50% from baseline. Dialysis dependence was defined as patients still need dialysis within 72 hours of discharge.
Results
Mean age was 65.8±13.6 years, 57% were male, 45.4% had chronic HF and 28.2% had chronic kidney disease (CKD). There was no significant difference in chronic HF, CKD, or baseline Cr between AKI patients with and without dialysis. Median NT-proBNP was 6,484.50 pg/mL (interquartile range 2,200.75–15,717.50 pg/mL). We observed that 43.1% had dialysis (among them 67.8% became dialysis dependence). After adjustment for age, gender, hypertension, and baseline Cr, higher NT-proBNP levels were associated with greater likelihood of needing dialysis [quartile (Q) 4 vs. 1, Odd ratio (OR) 1.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.38–2.85, P<0.001] and dialysis dependence (Q 4 vs. 1, OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.41–4.9, P=0.002) (Figure 1).
Conclusion
Elevated NT-proBNP was independently associated with need for dialysis and dialysis dependence in patients with AKI.

Abstract
The plume dispersion model AERMOD provides an efficient method for modeling ground-level pollutant concentrations in wakes of buildings. In recent years, several studies have shown that the downwash algorithms within AERMOD often perform poorly in certain applications. Some studies have proposed modifications to the downwash algorithm in AERMOD to bring the model closer to representing the underlying physical processes associated with building downwash and closer to more accurately modeling observed pollutant concentrations. One such study by Monbureau et al. (2018) made changes to the model that significantly improved its ability to model ground level concentrations for a simple case of a single rectangular building with an elevated, effluent-emitting stack experiencing winds perpendicular to the upwind side of the building. The present study introduces a simple algorithm to enhance AERMOD's ability to appropriately match the dispersion pattern in the complex flow case of non-orthogonal winds. This algorithm, which is based on a rich set of Large-Eddy Simulations (LES), applies to a variety of building dimensions, stack locations, and stack heights. A sensitivity analysis demonstrates how additional modifications to the downwash algorithm may further improve AERMOD in modeling the spatial location of observed ground-level effluent.

Methods: According to the multi-stage random cluster sampling methods, a total of 164 215 subjects were visited by a questionnaire in the last epidemiology survey from eight provinces (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Liaoning, Henan, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Sichuan provinces) and seven regions (north, northeast, southern china, east, south, southwest and northwest) in China from February 2010 to August 2012. 2 034 were diagnosed as asthma. The elderly patients aged ≥65 years were selected from the 2 034 asthma patients. The clinical characteristics, comorbidities, the status of asthma control and self-management and insights of the disease in elderly asthma patients were analyzed. Results: Among the 2 034 asthma patients, 584 (28.7%) were elderly asthmatics aged ≥65 years old and 1 450 (71.3%) were<65 years old. In the elderly asthma group, Early-onset asthma accounted for 439 (75.2%) and 145 (24.8%) were late-onset. The common clinical manifestations of elderly asthma patients were: chest distress 395 (67.6%), wheezing 304 (52.1%), cough 298 (51.0%). Common comorbidities of elderly asthmatics were: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 144 (24.7%), allergic rhinitis 122(20.9%), gastroesopheal reflux disease (GERD) 114(19.5%), allergic conjunctivitis 86 (14.7%), eczema 82 (14.0%), chronic bronchitis 76 (13.0%). The Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores of elderly asthmatics and non-elderly asthmatics were (18.5±3.2) and (21.7±3.4) respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P=0.042). Of the elderly asthmatics, only 13 (2.2%) patients monitored daily using a peak flow meter. 93 (15.9%) patients aware that asthma was characterized by chronic airway inflammation. 64 (11.0%) asthmatics understood that the treatment goal. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of elderly asthmatics are atypical, especially paroxysmal wheezing. Asthma in elderly people causes more comorbidities and mortality. The self-management and cognitive level of patients with asthma needs to be improved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Migraine is a complex and disabling neurological disorder, the exact neurological mechanisms of which remain unclear. The thalamus is considered to be the hub of the central processing and integration of nociceptive information, as well as the modulation of these processes. METHODS A total of 48 migraineurs without aura (MWoAs) during the interictal phase and 48 age- and sex-matched healthy controls underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. We utilized masked independent component analysis and seed-based functional connectivity (FC) to investigate whether MWoAs exhibited abnormal FC between subregions in the thalamus and the cortex regions. RESULTS The MWoAs showed significantly weaker FC between the anterior dorsal thalamic nucleus and left precuneus. Additionally, MWoAs exhibited significantly reduced FC between the ventral posterior nucleus (VPN) and left precuneus, right inferior parietal lobule (R-IPL) and right middle frontal gyrus. Furthermore, the FC Z-scores between the VPN and R-IPL were negatively correlated with pain intensity in MWoAs. The disease duration of patients was negatively correlated with the FC Z-scores between the VPN and R-IPL. CONCLUSION These altered thalamocortical connectivity patterns may contribute to multisensory integration abnormalities, deficits in pain attention, cognitive evaluation and pain modulation. Pain sensitivity and disease duration are closely tied to abnormal FC between the VPN and R-IPL. Remarkably, recurrent headache attacks might contribute to this maladaptive functional plasticity closely related to pain intensity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We conducted this study to evaluate whether patients with T1a/b, node-negative (N-), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancers benefited from adjuvant therapy, and explored better treatment strategies for these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with T1a/b, N-, HER2+ breast cancers during 2000 through 2004 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The Gray test was used to evaluate breast cancer-specific death (BCSD) and non-BCSD. To identify patients more suitable for chemotherapy, subgroup analyses were conducted according to tumor size and estrogen receptor (ER) status, and plots of hazard rate of death (HRD) were drawn to present the changes of BCSD. RESULTS A total of 2940 patients with T1a/b, N-, HER2+ breast cancers were included; more patients in the T1b group received chemotherapy compared with the T1a group (65.18% vs. 29.30%; P < .001). Patients receiving chemotherapy did not benefit from it (5-year incidences of BCSD: 1.00% in the non-chemotherapy group vs. 1.18% in the chemotherapy group; P = .853). Compared with those in the T1a group, patients in the T1b group had similar prognosis (P = .532), whereas ER status was significantly associated with survival (P = .048). HRD had a peak in years 2 to 5, which was more obvious in the ER- group. CONCLUSION Chemotherapy, which is mainly decided by tumor size, fails to render survival benefits for patients with T1a/b, N-, HER2+ breast cancers. ER status, rather than tumor size, is important for clinicians to make adjuvant treatment decisions. The peak of BCSD occurs 2 to 5 years after diagnosis, and an at least 5-year follow-up is recommended for these patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) on accelerated co-cultured dendritic cells (acDCs) and direct detection of islet full-length antigen-specific T cell response in peripheral blood of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: Sixteen patients with T1DM[9 males, 7 females, mean age(28.5±9.4)years] and 12 age-and sex-matched healthy controls were selected in the Department of Metabolism and Endocrinology, the Second Xiangya Hospital between March 2012 and August 2014. The numbers of IFN-γ secreting CD4(+)T cells responding to glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD(65)), C-peptide (CP) and insulin (INS) were detected by ELISPOT-acDCs and ELISPOT-direct assays, respectively. The positive rate of islet autoantigen and associated antigen reactive T cells under different detection assays were compared. Results: The positive rate for GAD(65), INS, and CP antigen reactive T cells detected by ELISPOT-acDCs was 1/16, 6/16 and 4/16, respectively, and T cells positive for INS in T1DM patients were higher than that in the controls (0/12) (P=0.024). Combining GAD(65), CP and INS-ELISPOT-acDCs detection, the positive rate for CD4(+) T cells in T1DM patients was higher than that in the controls (9/16 vs 1/12, P=0.016). The positive rate for GAD(65), INS, and CP antigen reactive T cells detected by ELISPOT-direct detection was 2/16, 1/16 and 7/16, respectively, and T cells positive for CP was higher than that in the controls (1/12), but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.088). Likewise, the positive rate for CD4(+) T cells was higher in T1DM patients than that in the controls by combined GAD(65), CP and INS-ELISPOT-direct detection (8/16 vs 1/12, P=0.039). Compared with the ELISPOT-direct assay, the positive rate of INS antigen specific T cell response detected by ELISPOT-acDCs was higher (P=0.041). No statistical differences of other antigens were found between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Both multiple islet antigens-combined CD4(+)-ELISPOT-acDCs and direct assays could provide diagnostic value of cellular immunology for T1DM patients. The ELISPOT-acDCs assay is superior to the ELISPOT-direct assay in the detection of INS antigen-specific T cell response.

Abstract
Continuous irradiation during photodynamic therapy (PDT) inevitably induces tumor hypoxia, thereby weakening the PDT effect. In PDT-induced hypoxia, providing singlet oxygen from stored chemical energy may enhance the cell-killing effect and boost the therapeutic effect. Herein, we present a phototheranostic (DPPTPE@PEG-Py NPs) prepared by using a 2-pyridone-based diblock polymer (PEG-Py) to encapsulate a semiconducting, heavy-atom-free pyrrolopyrrolidone-tetraphenylethylene (DPPTPE) with high singlet-oxygen-generation ability both in dichloromethane and water. The PEG-Py can trap the 1 O2 generated from DPPTPE under laser irradiation and form a stable intermediate of endoperoxide, which can then release 1 O2 in the dark, hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, fluorescence-imaging-guided phototherapy demonstrates that this phototheranostic could completely inhibit tumor growth with the help of laser irradiation.

Abstract
Background Serine provides important precursors of protein, lipid, and nucleotide synthesis needed for tumor cell growth. Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), a key rate-limiting enzyme in the serine de novo synthesis pathway, is highly expressed in many tumor types (including gastric cancer) and negatively correlated with overall survival. Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic drug commonly used in the treatment of gastric cancer. In this study, we mainly investigated the relationship between serine metabolism and resistance to cisplatin in gastric cancer cells, as well as the regulatory mechanism involved in this process. Materials and Methods We determined the effect of different concentrations of serine or a PHGDH inhibitor combined with cisplatin or oxaliplatin on the viability and apoptosis of SGC7901, BGC823, and MGC803 cells via the Cell Counting Kit-8 and Hoechst 33258 staining, respectively. Western blotting was utilized to detect the relative protein expression. Furthermore, we investigated DNA damage through the micrococcal nuclease sensitivity assay detected using agarose gels. Results We found that reduced concentrations of serine or inhibition of PHGDH hindered the toxicity and pro-apoptotic effects of cisplatin on gastric cancer cells. Moreover, the addition of serine could reverse the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to cisplatin. Moreover, we found that DNA damage was reduced by treatment with PHGDH inhibitor NCT-503 or CBR-5884. Inhibition of serine metabolism induced a decrease in H3K4 tri-methylation, which was reversed by JIB-04 (inhibitor of H3K4 demethylase). The tolerance of gastric cancer cells to cisplatin was relieved by JIB-04. Through micrococcal nuclease experiments, we further found that inhibiting the activity of PHGDH strengthened chromatin tightness. Conclusion Inhibition of serine metabolism reduced H3K4 tri-methylation and increased the density of chromatin, which leads to decreased toxicity and pro-apoptotic effect of platinum chemotherapeutic drugs on gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of severe bronchial asthma in Chinese people over 14 years old. Methods: According to the multi-stage random cluster sampling methods, a total of 164 215 subjects were visited by a questionnaire in the epidemiology survey from eight provinces (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Liaoning, Henan, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Sichuan provinces) located in seven regions (north, northeast, east, central China, south, southwest and northwest) of China from February 2010 to August 2012. A total of 2 034 were diagnosed as asthma. The clinical characteristics and related risk factors of patients with severe asthma in China were analyzed. Results: Among all asthma patients, 560 were newly diagnosed, accounting for 27.5% (560/2 034) and the percentage of previously confirmed patients was 72.5% (1 474/2 034). A total of 145 were eligible for severe asthma, accounting for 9.8% (145/1 474) of previously confirmed asthmatics and 7.1% (145/2 034) of all asthmatics. 83.5% (121/145) severe asthmatics had at least one trigger factor. Correlation analysis showed that the risk factors of severe asthma were: smoking (OR=1.543, 95%CI: 1.250-1.814), obesity (OR=2.186, 95%CI: 1.972-2.354), petting (OR=2.135, 95%CI: 1.904-2.283), combined with allergic rhinitis (OR=3.456, 95%CI: 2.721-4.326), gastroesophageal reflux disease (OR=1.842, 95%CI: 1.682-2.140), bronchiectasis (OR=1.665, 95%CI: 1.347-1.912) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR=1.312, 95%CI: 1.171-1.694). Conclusions: The most common comorbidities in severe asthmatics in China are allergic rhinitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The risk factors of severe asthma include obesity, allergic rhinitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, smoking and petting.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the pathological characteristics and the clinical significance of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected pneumonia (termed by WHO as coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19). Methods: Minimally invasive autopsies from lung, heart, kidney, spleen, bone marrow, liver, pancreas, stomach, intestine, thyroid and skin were performed on three patients died of novel coronavirus pneumonia in Chongqing, China. Hematoxylin and eosin staining (HE), transmission electron microcopy, and histochemical staining were performed to investigate the pathological changes of indicated organs or tissues. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted to evaluate the infiltration of immune cells as well as the expression of 2019-nCoV proteins. Real time PCR was carried out to detect the RNA of 2019-nCoV. Results: Various damages were observed in the alveolar structure, with minor serous exudation and fibrin exudation. Hyaline membrane formation was observed in some alveoli. The infiltrated immune cells in alveoli were majorly macrophages and monocytes. Moderate multinucleated giant cells, minimal lymphocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils were also observed. Most of infiltrated lymphocytes were CD4-positive T cells. Significant proliferation of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelia and focal desquamation of alveolar epithelia were also indicated. The blood vessels of alveolar septum were congested, edematous and widened, with modest infiltration of monocytes and lymphocytes. Hyaline thrombi were found in a minority of microvessels. Focal hemorrhage in lung tissue, organization of exudates in some alveolar cavities, and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis were observed. Part of the bronchial epithelia were exfoliated. Coronavirus particles in bronchial mucosal epithelia and type Ⅱ alveolar epithelia were observed under electron microscope. Immunohistochemical staining showed that part of the alveolar epithelia and macrophages were positive for 2019-nCoV antigen. Real time PCR analyses identified positive signals for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. Decreased numbers of lymphocyte, cell degeneration and necrosis were observed in spleen. Furthermore, degeneration and necrosis of parenchymal cells, formation of hyaline thrombus in small vessels, and pathological changes of chronic diseases were observed in other organs and tissues, while no evidence of coronavirus infection was observed in these organs. Conclusions: The lungs from novel coronavirus pneumonia patients manifest significant pathological lesions, including the alveolar exudative inflammation and interstitial inflammation, alveolar epithelium proliferation and hyaline membrane formation. While the 2019-nCoV is mainly distributed in lung, the infection also involves in the damages of heart, vessels, liver, kidney and other organs. Further studies are warranted to investigate the mechanism underlying pathological changes of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In December 2019, a new type of coronavirus-infected pneumonia broke out in Wuhan and spread rapidly to other parts of the country. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the confirmed cases of COVID-19, who were admitted to the North Hospital of Changsha first Hospital (Changsha Public Health treatment Center) from January 17 to February 7, 2020. RESULTS The median age of COVID-19 patients was 45 years (range 33.5-57). The male patients accounted for 49.7%, 64.6% of the patients had a history of exposure in Wuhan, and 31.7% had family aggregation. The median days of onset were six, and the incidence of severe illness was 18.6%. Compared with the non-severe group, the severe group showed statistical significance in older age, hypertension, bilateral lung plaque shadow, decrease in lymphocyte count, increase in C-reactive protein (CRP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase, and creatine kinase. CONCLUSIONS Age, combined hypertension, oxygenation index, double lung patch, decreased lymphocyte count, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatine kinase can be used as predictors of the disease severity.

Abstract
Background Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder arising from mutations of the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 11q13; MEN1 is characterized by the development of neuroendocrine tumors, including those of the parathyroid, gastrointestinal endocrine tissue and anterior pituitary. Additionally, thymic neuroendocrine tumors in MEN1 are also rarely reported. Case presentation This case report observed a family that presented with MEN1 p.L105Vfs mutation, and two of the family members had been diagnosed with thymic neuroendocrine tumor combined with MEN1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such a mutation in the MEN1 gene has been reported. The proband presented with thymic neuroendocrine tumor, parathyroid adenoma and rectum adenocarcinoma. The son of the proband presented with thymic neuroendocrine tumor, gastrinoma, hypophysoma and parathyroid adenoma. Genetic testing revealed the frameshift mutation p.L105Vfs, leading to the identification of one carrier in the pedigree (the patient’s younger sister). The proband then underwent parathyroidectomy at the age of 26 years (in 1980) for a parathyroid adenoma. Subsequently, the patient underwent thymectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The patient is now 64 years old, still alive and still undergoing Lanreotide therapy. Conclusion Thymic neuroendocrine MEN1 is rare, but it accounts for almost 20% of MEN1-associated mortality. Consequently, we should focus on regular clinical screening of the thymus in MEN1 patients.

Abstract
AIM To assess the usefulness of monthly thermography and standard foot care to reduce diabetic foot ulcer recurrence. METHODS People with diabetes (n = 110), neuropathy and history of ≥ 1 foot ulcer participated in a single-blind multicentre clinical trial. Feet were imaged with a novel thermal imaging device (Diabetic Foot Ulcer Prevention System). Participants were randomized to intervention (active thermography + standard foot care) or control (blinded thermography + standard foot care) and were followed up monthly until ulcer recurrence or for 12 months. Foot thermograms of participants from the intervention group were assessed for hot spots (areas with temperature ≥ 2.2°C higher than the corresponding contralateral site) and acted upon as per local standards. RESULTS After 12 months, 62% of participants were ulcer-free in the intervention group and 56% in the control group. The odds ratios of ulcer recurrence (intervention vs control) were 0.82 (95% CI 0.38, 1.8; P = 0.62) and 0.55 (95% CI 0.21, 1.4; P = 0.22) in univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, respectively. The hazard ratios for the time to ulcer recurrence (intervention vs control) were 0.84 (95% CI 0.45, 1.6; P = 0.58) and 0.67 (95% CI 0.34, 1.3; P = 0.24) in univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Monthly intervention with thermal imaging did not result in a significant reduction in ulcer recurrence rate or increased ulcer-free survival in this cohort at high risk of foot ulcers. This trial has, however, informed the design of a refined study with longer follow-up and group stratification, further aiming to assess the efficacy of thermography to reduce ulcer recurrence.

PURPOSE To compare febrile neutropenia (FN) incidence and hospitalization among breast cancer patients on docetaxel with no granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (GCSF) primary prophylaxis (PP), 4/5-day PP, or 7-day PP. METHODS We identified 3916 breast cancer patients using docetaxel-cyclophosphamide (TC), doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide then docetaxel (AC-T), fluorouracil-epirubicin-cyclophosphamide then docetaxel (FEC-T), docetaxel-carboplatin-trastuzumab (TJH), or docetaxel-doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide (TAC) from a hospital pharmacy dispensing database in Hong Kong between 2014 and 2016. Patients were offered GCSF within 5 days since administering docetaxel. Outcomes included FN incidence, time to first hospitalization, hospitalization rate, and duration. RESULTS In TC regimen, FN incidence (with odds ratio, OR) of patients with no PP, 4/5-day PP, and 7-day PP was 21.69%, 7.95% (OR 0.31, p < 0.001), and 5.33% (OR 0.20, p < 0.001), respectively. In TJH regimen, FN incidence of patients with no PP, 4/5-day PP, and 7-day PP was 38.26%, 8.33% (OR 0.15, p < 0.001), and 8.57% (OR 0.15, p < 0.001), respectively. FN incidence of patients on AC-T regimen with no PP and 4/5-day PP was 20.93% and 6.84%, respectively (OR 0.28, p = 0.005); with FEC-T regimen, the incidence was 9.91% and 4.77%, respectively (OR 0.46, p = 0.035). Only 3.27% FN cases were not hospitalized. Mean (±standard deviation, SD) time to first hospitalization was 8.21 ± 2.44 days. Mean (±SD) duration of hospitalization for patients with no PP, 4/5-day PP, and 7-day PP was 4.66 ± 2.60, 4.37 ± 2.85, and 5.12 ± 2.97 days, respectively. CONCLUSION GCSF prophylaxis in breast cancer patients on docetaxel could reduce FN incidence and hospitalization. 4/5-day PP demonstrated similar efficacy to 7-day PP with superior saving benefits on healthcare expenditure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the role of miR-214-5p in proliferation and metastasis of pancreatic cancer (PC) cells, as well as its underlying mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS 30 pairs of PC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected in our Department. The expression level of miR-214-5p was detected by quantitative Real-time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Biological information analysis and luciferase report gene assay were used to verify potential target genes of miR-214-5p. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell methods were applied to observe the interference of miR-214-5p on invasion and migration of PC cells. Western blot (WB) assay was applied to determine the expression changes of Jagged 1 (JAG1) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes in PC cells. RESULTS QRT-PCR results showed that the expression level of miR-214-5p is significantly down-regulated in PC tissues and cells. Bioinformatics software and luciferase report gene assay identified that JAG1 is a target gene of miR-214-5p. The negative correlation between protein expressions of miR-214-5p and JAG1 was assessed by Western Blot assay. Furthermore, miR-214-5p could suppress cell proliferation, invasion and migration, and it also blocked the EMT in PC cells in vitro. Meanwhile, JAG1 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-214-5p on proliferation, invasion and migration of PC cells. CONCLUSIONS Overexpressing miR-214-5p could significantly inhibit malignant behavior of PC cells through targeted regulation of JAG1. Thus, miR-214-5p might be a potential therapeutic target for treatment of PC.

Abstract
Tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) provides a local and critical microenvironment for both cellular and humoral immunity and supports effective antigen presentation and lymphocyte activation. However, the gene expression profile and prognostic significance of TLS in oral cancer remain largely unrevealed. In this study, we found the presence of both intratumoral and peritumoral TLSs in a series of 65 patients with oral cancer treated by surgical resection, with positive detection rates of 33.8 and 75.4%, respectively. The presence of intratumoral TLSs, but not peritumoral TLSs, was significantly associated with decreased P53 and Ki67 scores (P = 0·027 and 0·047, respectively). The survival analyses revealed that oral cancer patients with higher grades of TLSs was associated with improved disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) (P = 0·037 and 0·031, respectively). Gene expression profiling analysis of the cytokines and chemokines responsible for lymph-node neogenesis identified a three-up-regulated-gene set, i.e. IL7, LTB and CXCL13, which was shown to be correlated with human oral cancer-associated TLSs. This study provides a framework for better understanding of oral cancer-associated TLSs and for delineating future innovative prognostic biomarkers and immune therapeutic strategies for oral cancer.
