Abstract
Background: The prevalence rate of hypertension and breast cancer increases with advancing age. Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs), β-blockers (BBs), calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and diuretics are widely used to treat patients with hypertension. Although, the association between the use of antihypertensive medication and breast cancer has been highly debated, recent evidence supporting this association remains controversial. Objective: To evaluate the association between the use of antihypertensive medication and the risk of breast cancer and its prognosis. Methods: This study was conducted using data from the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases retrieved for the period from January 2000 to April 2021. Articles and their references were checked and summary effects were calculated using random- and fixed-effects models. Heterogeneity test and sensitivity analysis were also performed. Results: This meta-analysis included 57 articles, which were all related to breast cancer risk or prognosis. Assessment of breast cancer risk using the pooled data showed that the use of BBs or CCBs or diuretics was associated with increased cancer risk [BB: relative risk (RR) = 1.20, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.09-1.32; CCBs: RR = 1.06, 95% CI 1.03-1.08; diuretics: RR = 1.06, 95% CI 1.01-1.11]. Long-term use of diuretic increased the risk of breast cancer (RR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.01-1.20), whereas long-term RASIs treatment reduced the risk (RR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.68-0.91). In addition, we found that diuretic users may be related to elevated breast cancer-specific mortality [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.18, 95% CI 1.04-1.33], whereas using other antihypertensive medications was not associated with this prognosis in patients with breast cancer. Conclusion: Using CCBs, BBs, and diuretics increased the risk of breast cancer. In addition, diuretics may elevate the risk of breast cancer-specific mortality. The long-term use of RASIs was associated with a significantly lower breast cancer risk, compared with non-users. Thus, this analysis provides evidence to support the benefits of the routine use of RASIs in patients with hypertension, which has important public health implications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the association between previous induced abortion and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes among Chinese women. STUDY DESIGN In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1436 infertility patients treated with IVF for the first time in the reproductive centre of Anhui Province Maternity and Child Health Hospital from February 2014 to April 2018 were selected as the study population, and 95 (6.6 %) had a history of induced abortion. Data were assessed from the hospital electronic database and medical records in the reproductive centre. RESULTS In total, 818 women (57.0 %) achieved clinical pregnancy, and 501 (34.9 %) achieved live birth. After adjustments for a series of potential confounding factors, women with a history of induced abortion had a significantly decreased probability of clinical pregnancy per transfer (OR: 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.53, 0.95, p = 0.037) and live birth per pregnancy (OR: 0.52, 95 % CI: 0.30, 0.90, p = 0.021) and a higher risk of miscarriage per pregnancy (OR: 1.89, 95 % CI: 1.24, 2.88, p = 0.009) than those without. Because relevant information was unavailable, the impacts of different types of previous induced abortion were not assessed. CONCLUSIONS Previous induced abortion may have an adverse effect on IVF outcomes among infertility patients.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the attitudes and cognition of disease control and prevention professionals at provincial level on public health physician standardized training and provide evidence for the improvement of the standardized training and exploration of more effective training mode in China. Methods: By cluster sampling, 2 193 professionals at provincial centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) in 6 provinces, including Jiangsu and Guangdong, Shanxi and Hubei,Sichuan and Xinjiang were selected as the study subjects, the sample size was estimated to be 1 933 persons. Results: A total of 1 716 provincial-level CDC professionals were surveyed, the support rate to the standardized training was 70.7%(1 213/1 716). The level of support was negatively associated with the educational level of professionals and their specialty of public health and preventive medicine. Of 875 public health and preventive medicine professionals, 61.6%(318/516) of those with master's degree or above supported the standard training for public health physicians, which was lower than 73.1%(225/308) of those with bachelor's degree and 86.3%(44/51) of those with college degree or below. There were 14.9%(232/1 555) of the respondents suggested a two year training, and 60.4%(933/1 544) suggesting a field training mode. In terms of training content, 86.6%(1 355/1 564) suggesting "epidemiological survey and public health practice", and 76.7%(1 199/1 564) suggesting "basic theories and methodology". Conclusions: In general, the professionals of provincial CDC showed a relatively low interest in the standardized training for public health physicians and failed to reach a consensus. Besides, they were ill-informed about current training duration, method and content. Thas, the professionals at provincial CDC are suggested to be the key target-population whom should be mobilized during the training pilot period, especially the highly educated ones with relevant specialties of public health. It is suggested that public health physician standardized training should to be implemented in whole CDC system to reach full consensus based on its practical achievements and effects. It is also suggested to establish public health graduate medical education system in China.

Abstract
PURPOSES OF STUDY This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between obesity and short-term and long-term mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by analysing the body mass index (BMI). STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was performed on adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with AMI in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. The WHO BMI classification was used in the study. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to show the likelihood of survival in patients with AMI. The relationships of the BMI classification with short-term and long-term mortality were assessed using Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS This study included 1295 ICU patients with AMI, who were divided into four groups according to the WHO BMI classification. Our results suggest that obese patients with AMI tended to be younger (p<0.001), be men (p=0.001) and have higher blood glucose and creatine kinase (p<0.001) compared with normal weight patients. In the adjusted model, compared with normal weight AMI patients, those who were overweight and obese had lower ICU risks of death HR=0.64 (95% CI 0.46 to 0.89) and 0.55 (0.38 to 0.78), respectively, inhospital risks of death (0.77 (0.56 to 1.09) and 0.61 (0.43 to 0.87)) and long-term risks of death (0.78 0.64 to 0.94) and 0.72 (0.59 to 0.89). On the other hand, underweight patients had higher risks of short-term(ICU or inhospital mortality) and long-term mortality compared with normal weight patients (HR=1.39 (95% CI 0.58 to 3.30), 1.46 (0.62 to 3.42) and 1.99 (1.15 to 3.44), respectively). CONCLUSIONS Overweight and obesity were protective factors for the short-term and long-term risks of death in patients with AMI.

Abstract
The roles of ubiquitin-related genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to systematically examine ubiquitin-related genes and identify subtypes and stratify prognosis of HCC by using ubiquitin-related signatures. Survival, biological processes, tumor microenvironment (TME), and genomic alterations of the HCC subtypes were investigated. Patients with HCC were classified into two subtypes (clusters 1 and 2) with distinct survival outcomes, pathways, and genomic alterations. Cluster 2 had better prognosis than did cluster 1. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway, and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity were enriched in cluster 1. Moreover, cluster 2 had a higher immune score and immune cell infiltrations, whereas cluster 1 had a lower immune score and immune infiltrations. Additionally, mutations, amplifications, and deletions among the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT, p53, and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-RAS pathways more frequently occurred in cluster 1, while those among the Hippo, MYC, and Notch signaling pathways were found in cluster 2. Finally, a prognostic signature, consisting of eight ubiquitin-related genes, was established and validated. In brief, our study established a new classification and developed a prognostic signature for HCC.

Abstract
Tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer is the most common malignant tumor worldwide. This study aims to grasp the characteristics of the TBL cancer burden in China and the United States (USA). Data included incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) as well as their age-standardized rates (ASRs) among different gender, age and risk factors. Joinpoint Regression Model and Age-period-cohort (APC) analysis were used to evaluate the variation tendency and effect of the risk factors. China and USA bore almost half of the TBL cancer burden, especially for males. ASRs of TBL cancer increased in China, but decreased in USA. In China, three factors related to TBL cancer deaths and DALYs related were tobacco, air pollution, and diet low in fruits; in USA, these are tobacco, occupational carcinogens, and high fasting plasma glucose. The younger the population, the less impact of birth cohort on morbidity and mortality. According to APC analysis, age effect played a key role in morbidity and mortality of TBL cancer, and the risk increased with age. Period effect kept increasing over time, while cohort effect decreased with the time of birth. Tobacco was always the top risk factor of death and DALYs in both countries. The policy should be tilted towards air pollution and a diet low in fruits in China, as well as occupational carcinogens and high fasting plasma glucose in USA. Healthcare reform in both countries should focus on planning how its health system could effectively prevent and manage TBL cancer at low cost.

Abstract
Purpose: While there are no clear indications of whether central lymph node dissection is necessary in patients with T1-T2, non-invasive, clinically uninvolved central neck lymph nodes papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), this study seeks to develop and validate models for predicting the risk of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in these patients based on machine learning algorithms. Methods: This is a retrospective study comprising 1,271 patients with T1-T2 stage, non-invasive, and clinically node negative (cN0) PTC who underwent surgery at the Department of Endocrine and Breast Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from February 1, 2016, to December 31, 2018. We applied six machine learning (ML) algorithms, including Logistic Regression (LR), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), and Neural Network (NNET), coupled with preoperative clinical characteristics and intraoperative information to develop prediction models for CLNM. Among all the samples, 70% were randomly selected to train the models while the remaining 30% were used for validation. Indices like the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated to test the models' performance. Results: The results showed that ~51.3% (652 out of 1,271) of the patients had pN1 disease. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, gender, tumor size and location, multifocality, age, and Delphian lymph node status were all independent predictors of CLNM. In predicting CLNM, six ML algorithms posted AUROC of 0.70–0.75, with the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model standing out, registering 0.75. Thus, we employed the best-performing ML algorithm model and uploaded the results to a self-made online risk calculator to estimate an individual's probability of CLNM (https://jin63.shinyapps.io/ML_CLNM/). Conclusions: With the incorporation of preoperative and intraoperative risk factors, ML algorithms can achieve acceptable prediction of CLNM with Xgboost model performing the best. Our online risk calculator based on ML algorithm may help determine the optimal extent of initial surgical treatment for patients with T1-T2 stage, non-invasive, and clinically node negative PTC.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of endogenous regulatory RNAs characterized by covalently closed cyclic structure lacking poly-adenylated tails, and are capable of regulating gene expression at transcription or post-transcription levels. Recently, plentiful circRNAs have been discovered in breast cancer and some circRNAs expression profiles are specifically involved in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). TNBC is a type of malignant tumor defined by the lack of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression. Considering its clinical characteristics of high invasion, metastasis, poor prognosis, and lack of effective response to conventional chemotherapies or targeted therapies, it could be a promosing option to discover specific circRNAs as new targets for TNBC treatment. Meanwhile, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that circRNAs are dysregulated in TNBC tissues and are correlated with clinicopathological features and prognosis of TNBC patients. Furthermore, looking for circRNAs with high specificity and sensitivity will provide a new opportunity for the early diagnosis, clinical treatment, and prognosis monitoring of TNBC. Herein, we reviewed the biogenesis, regulatory mechanisms, and biological functions of circRNAs in TNBC and summarized the relationship between circRNAs expression and the clinicopathology, diagnosis, and prognosis of patients with TNBC.

Abstract
1. Stocking density is an issue for poultry production. High stocking density can impact biochemical parameters, production, and reproductive performance; however, information regarding the effects of stocking density on serum metabolites in geese is limited.2. Twenty-day-old, Sanhua male geese (n = 240) were allocated to one of two experimental groups for 50 days. One group was housed under a low stocking density (LSD; two birds per m2) and one under a high stocking density (HSD; five birds per m2). Body weight and feed intake were recorded every 10 d. Eight serum samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.3. Stocking density did not affect the spleen, liver, thymus, or bursa of Fabricius weights after 50 d. Feed intake and body weight was significantly lower in geese from the HSD group versus the LSD group (P < 0.05). Thirty-six differential serum metabolites were identified (P < 0.05), indicating altered amino acid, carbohydrate, lipid and vitamin cofactor metabolism.4. The results demonstrated that high-density stocking impacts geese, and provides insights into the mechanisms underlying the adverse health effects associated with HSD.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Occupational exposure to carcinogens has been shown to pose a serious disease burden at the global, regional, and national levels. Based on epidemiologic studies and clinical observations, working environment appears to have important effects on the occurrence of human malignant tumors; however, to date, no systematic articles have been published that specifically investigated cancer burden due to occupational exposure in an individual and collective manner. OBJECTIVE To estimate the degree of exposure and evaluate the cancer burden attributable to occupational carcinogens (OCs) individually and collectively by sex, age, year, and location. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Cross-sectional study including data on 195 countries from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 2017. Data were analyzed from June 24, 2020, to July 20, 2020. EXPOSURES Thirteen OCs (ie, arsenic, asbestos, benzene, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, diesel engine exhaust, formaldehyde, nickel, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, silica, sulfuric acid, and trichloroethylene). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The degree and change patterns of exposure as well as the attributable cancer burden, including deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), by sex, age, year, and location for 13 OCs. The calculation of the population-attributable fraction was based on past exposure in the population and relative risks. RESULTS Based on the GBD 2017 study, 13 OCs attributable to 7 cancer types were included. Most summary exposure values for the 13 OCs, particularly those of diesel engine exhaust (35.6% increase; 95% uncertainty interval [UI], 32.4%-38.5%) and trichloroethylene (30.3% increase; 95% UI, 27.3%-33.5%), increased from 1990 to 2017. Only exposure to asbestos decreased by 13.8% (95% UI, -26.7% to 2.2%). In 2017, 319 000 (95% UI, 256 000-382 000) cancer deaths and 6.42 million (95% UI, 5.15 million to 7.76 million) DALYs were associated with OCs combined, accounting for 61.0% (95% UI, 59.6%-62.4%) of the total cancer deaths and 48.3% (46.3% to 50.2%) of the DALYs. Among the 13 OCs, the 3 leading risk factors for cancer burden were asbestos (71.8%), silica (15.4%), and diesel engine exhaust (5.6%). For most OCs, the attributed cancer outcome was tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancer, which accounted for 89.0% of attributable cancer deaths. China (61 644 cancer deaths), the US (42 848), and Japan (20 748) accounted for the largest number of attributable cancer deaths in 2017; for DALYs, China (1.47 million), the US (0.71 million), and India (0.37 million) were the 3 leading countries. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Results of this study suggest that although OC exposure levels have decreased, the overall cancer burden is continuously increasing.

Abstract
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play crucial roles in multiple cancers. However, very few RBPs and their association with immune genes have been systematically studied in liver cancer (LC). We aimed to identify an immune-related RBP signature to predict the survival of LC patients. Bioinformatics methods were used to identify differentially expressed, immune-related, and prognostic RBPs and to develop an immune-related RBP signature based on data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort. We obtained eight differentially expressed, immune-related, and prognostic RBPs to construct a risk signature. The signature could effectively distinguish between high- and low-risk patients, and its predictive capacity was validated in the International Cancer Genomics Consortium (ICGC) cohort. We speculated that the high-risk group was more sensitive to targeted therapy. The immune-related RBP signature is an independent prognostic biomarker for LC patients and can expand the application of targeted therapy through patient stratification.

Abstract
Circular RNA (circRNA) is a long non-coding RNA molecule with a closed loop structure lacking a 5′cap and 3′tail. circRNA is stable, difficult to cleave and resistant to RNA exonuclease or RNase R degradation. circRNA molecules have several clinical applications, especially in tumors. For instance, circRNA may be used for non-invasive diagnosis, therapy and prognosis. Exosomes play a crucial role in the development of tumors. Exosomal circRNA in particular has led to increased research interest into tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Additionally, exosomal circRNA plays a role in cell-cell communication. Exosomal circRNA facilitates tumor metastasis by altering the tumor microenvironment and the pre-metastatic niche. Additionally, studies have revealed the mechanism by which exosomal circRNA affects malignant progression through signal transduction. Moreover, exosomal circRNA promotes tumor metastasis by regulating gene expression, RNA transcription and protein translation. In this review, the biological features and clinical application of exosomal circRNA are described, highlighting the underlying mechanisms through which they regulate tumor metastasis. The application of circRNA as clinical diagnostic biomarkers and in the development of novel therapeutic strategies is also discussed.

Abstract
To identify a glycolysis-related gene signature for the evaluation of prognosis in patients with breast cancer, we analyzed the data of a training set from TCGA database and four validation cohorts from the GEO and ICGC databases which included 1,632 patients with breast cancer. We conducted GSEA, univariate Cox regression, LASSO, and multiple Cox regression analysis. Finally, an 11-gene signature related to glycolysis for predicting survival in patients with breast cancer was developed. And Kaplan–Meier analysis and ROC analyses suggested that the signature showed a good prognostic ability for BC in the TCGA, ICGC, and GEO datasets. The analyses of univariate Cox regression and multivariate Cox regression revealed that it’s an important prognostic factor independent of multiple clinical features. Moreover, a prognostic nomogram, combining the gene signature and clinical characteristics of patients, was constructed. These findings provide insights into the identification of breast cancer patients with a poor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem largely caused by diabetes. The epidemiology of diabetes mellitus-related CKD (CKD-DM) could provide specific support to lessen global, regional, and national CKD burden. METHODS Data were derived from the GBD 2019 study, including four measures and age-standardized rates (ASRs). Estimated annual percentage changes and 95% CIs were calculated to evaluate the variation trend of ASRs. RESULTS Diabetes caused the majority of new cases and patients with CKD in all regions. All ASRs for type 2 diabetes-related CKD increased over 30 years. Asia and Middle socio-demographic index (SDI) quintile always carried the heaviest burden of CKD-DM. Diabetes type 2 became the second leading cause of CKD and CKD-related death and the third leading cause of CKD-related DALYs in 2019. Type 2 diabetes-related CKD accounted for most of the CKD-DM disease burden. There were 2.62 million incident cases, 134.58 million patients, 405.99 thousand deaths, and 13.09 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of CKD-DM worldwide in 2019. Age-standardized incidence (ASIR) and prevalence rate (ASPR) of type 1 diabetes-related CKD increased, whereas age-standardized death rate (ASDR) and DALY rate decreased for females and increased for males. In high SDI quintile, ASIR and ASPR of type 1 diabetes-related CKD remained the highest, with the slowest increase, whereas the ASDR and age-standardized DALY rate remained the lowest there. In high SDI quintile, ASIR of type 2 diabetes-related CKD was the highest, with the lowest increasing rate. In addition, type 2 diabetes-related CKD occurred most in people aged 80-plus years worldwide. The main age of type 2 diabetes-related CKD patients was 55-64 years in Asia and Africa. The prevalence, mortality, and DALY rate of type 2 diabetes-related CKD increased with age. As for incidence, there was a peak at 80 years, and after age of 80, the incidence declined. CKD-DM-related anemia was mainly in mild to moderate grade. CONCLUSIONS Increasing burden of CKD-DM varied among regions and countries. Prevention and treatment measures should be strengthened according to CKD-DM epidemiology, especially in middle SDI quintile and Asia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological trends of type 2 diabetes mellitus attributable to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution remain unclear. Here, we estimated spatiotemporal trends of type 2 diabetes mellitus burden attributable to PM2.5 pollution, including ambient particulate matter pollution (APMP) and household air pollution (HAP), from 1990-2019. METHODS Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 and were analyzed by age, sex, year, and location. Joinpoint regression analysis was applied in the analysis of temporal trends in type 2 diabetes mellitus burden over the 30 years. RESULTS Globally, PM2.5 pollution contributed to 292.5 thousand deaths and 13 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in 2019. APMP ranked third among all risk factors, causing an increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus burden from 1990, whereas the impact of HAP significantly fell during the same period. Both APMP and HAP contributed the most to deaths and DALYs of type 2 diabetes mellitus among older people. However, the age-standardized death and DALY rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus attributable to APMP were greater among males and people in the middle socio-demographic index countries, especially in Southern Sub-Saharan Africa. For HAP, type 2 diabetes mellitus burden was modestly higher in females and was highest in Oceania, which was the only region with an increase from 1990. CONCLUSIONS PM2.5 pollution resulted in substantial and increasing type 2 diabetes mellitus burden worldwide. Hence, governments and health systems should take steps to reduce air pollution to mitigate this increasing burden.

Abstract
Background Family with sequence similarity 234 member B (FAM234B), a protein-coding gene, is mainly expressed in brain tissues. Its clinical significance and biological function in tumors, especially in breast cancer (BC), have not been elucidated. Methods We firstly investigated the expression pattern of FAM234B at the mRNA and protein levels using Oncomine, TCGA portal, GEPIA, TIMER, HPA, and UALCAN databases, then applied bc-GenExMiner to assess the associations between expression level of FAM234B and clinicopathological features of BC. Besides, we also verified the expression of FAM234B expression in clinical BC samples using qRT-PCR. Subsequently, GEPIA, bc-GenExMiner, and TIMER databases were used to analyze the prognostic significance of FAM234B in all BC and different molecular subtypes. Finally, we conducted co-expression analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Additionally, we explored the regulatory mechanism of FAM234B in BC. Results Both bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification confirmed that the FAM234B expression was significantly higher at the mRNA and protein levels in luminal BC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues. High FAM234B expression was significantly correlated with older age, estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, wild-type p53, low Nottingham prognostic index, low Scarff-Bloom-Richardson grade, lymph node metastasis positivity, and high tumor stage. Moreover, survival analysis indicated that high FAM234B expression was significantly related to a worse prognosis in patients with luminal BC. GSEA indicated that FAM234B was positively related to membrane transport process and negatively associated with immune response function. Besides, mechanism exploration indicated that pseudogene HTR7P1 might act as endogenous RNA to compete with has-miR-1271-5p or has-miR-381-3p for binding to FAM234B, thereby upregulating the expression of FAM234B in luminal BC. Conclusion Our results suggest that FAM234B may be a candidate therapeutic target or prognostic marker for luminal breast cancer.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies showing the correlation between folate and the breast cancer risk have revealed inconsistent results. Hence, we conducted a dose-response meta-analysis of observational studies to obtain more reliable conclusions. We searched PubMed and Embase for studies published before April 2019 and identified 39 studies on folate intake and 12 studies on plasma folate level. The combined odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted to estimate the breast cancer risk. Folate intake was inversely correlated with the breast cancer risk when the highest and lowest categories (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.79-0.92) were compared, and the dose-response result showed that folate intake had a linear correlation with the breast cancer risk. Moreover, a higher folate intake correlated with a lower breast cancer risk in premenopausal women (OR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.66-0.97), but not in postmenopausal women (OR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.83-1.06). However, plasma folate levels were not correlated with the breast cancer risk (OR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.82-1.17). Folate intake was negatively correlated with the breast cancer risk; however, its practical clinical significance requires further study. Furthermore, additional folate supplements should be considered carefully.

Abstract
Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have successfully identified thousands of risk variants for human complex diseases, understanding the biological function and molecular mechanisms of the associated SNPs involved in complex diseases is challenging. Here we developed a framework named integrative multi-omics network-based approach (IMNA), aiming to identify potential key genes in regulatory networks by integrating molecular interactions across multiple biological scales, including GWAS signals, gene expression-based signatures, chromatin interactions and protein interactions from the network topology. We applied this approach to breast cancer, and prioritized key genes involved in regulatory networks. We also developed an abnormal gene expression score (AGES) signature based on the gene expression deviation of the top 20 rank-ordered genes in breast cancer. The AGES values are associated with genetic variants, tumor properties and patient survival outcomes. Among the top 20 genes, RNASEH2A was identified as a new candidate gene for breast cancer. Thus, our integrative network-based approach provides a genetic-driven framework to unveil tissue-specific interactions from multiple biological scales and reveal potential key regulatory genes for breast cancer. This approach can also be applied in other complex diseases such as ovarian cancer to unravel underlying mechanisms and help for developing therapeutic targets.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Adjuvant chemotherapy remains the only recommended treatment for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the existing evidence is not enough to recommend adjuvant therapies to patients with T1 N0 M0 TNBC. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of different adjuvant therapies with survival outcome in patients with T1 N0 M0 TNBC stratified by cancer stage and age. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Postoperative patients diagnosed as having T1 N0 M0 TNBC between 2010 and 2015 who were enrolled in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry program were included in this population-based cohort study. Data analysis was performed from March 27, 2019, to August 10, 2020. EXPOSURES Chemotherapy and radiotherapy. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Kaplan-Meier curve and univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to compare overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) between the different treatments. RESULTS A cohort of 7739 eligible patients (mean [SD] age, 59.5 [12.4] years; all female) were included in the present study. The 5-year OS of the total patients was 91.7% (95% CI, 90.9%-92.5%), and median follow-up was 45 months (95% CI, 44-46 months). Patients aged 70 years and older or with T1a TNBC were more likely to receive adjuvant radiotherapy than chemotherapy. Although any adjuvant therapy could improve OS in T1 N0 M0 TNBC, only chemotherapy was associated with significantly better breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS adjusted hazard ratio: 0.657; 95% CI, 0.460-0.939; P = .02). Adjuvant radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery was associated with better OS and BCSS in patients aged 70 years and older but not in those younger than 70 years. For patients with T1c BC, chemotherapy after breast-conserving surgery or other surgery was associated with improved OS, whereas only chemotherapy after other surgery was associated with better BCSS. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The findings of this cohort study suggest that adjuvant therapies could improve OS in patients with T1 N0 M0 TNBC, whereas only chemotherapy was associated with better BCSS. Older patients with early-stage TNBC may benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy. Administration of adjuvant therapies to patients with different ages and cancer stages should be discussed carefully, which necessitates guidance from updated guidelines.

Abstract
Background The epidemiology of esophageal cancer (EC) can elucidate its causes and risk factors and help develop prevention strategies. We aimed to provide an overview of the burden, trends, and risk factors of EC in China from 1990 to 2017. We also investigated the differences between China, Japan, and South Korea and discussed the possible causes of the disparities. Methods We used the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 to obtain data on incident cases, deaths, disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) cases, age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized death rate (ASDR), and age-standardized DALY rate of EC in China, Japan, and South Korea from 1990 to 2017. Trend analysis was performed using joinpoint analysis. We measured the associations between ASIR, ASDR, and age-standardized DALY rate and the socio-demographic index (SDI) for 1990–2017. We also analyzed the risk factors associated with EC deaths and DALYs. Results China recorded 234,624 (95% uncertainty intervals: 223,240–246,036) incident cases of and 212,586 (202,673–222,654) deaths from EC in 2017. The ASIR and ASDR declined from 1990 to 2017. Until 2017, the ASIR was 12.23, and ASDR was 11.25 per 100,000 persons. The DALYs were 4,464,980 (4,247,816–4,690,846) with an age-standardized rate of 222.58 per 100,000 persons in 2017. The ASIR, ASDR, and age-standardized DALY rate in China were twice those of Japan and South Korea. These three indicators showed a decreasing trend, whereas SDI increased, in all three countries from 1990 to 2017. Tobacco and alcohol use remained the major risk factors for EC death and DALYs, especially for men in China and women in Japan and South Korea. High body mass index (BMI) and low-fruit diet were the main risk factors for women in China. Conclusions The incident cases and deaths of EC in China, Japan, and South Korea increased from 1990 to 2017, whereas the ASIR, ASDR, and age-standardized DALY rate declined. China had the greatest burden of EC among three countries. SDI and aging along with tobacco use, alcohol use, high BMI, and low-fruit diet were the main risk factors of death and DALYs and should be paid more attention.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Functional follow-up modalities of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) subjected to percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) are limited mainly to echocardiography and catheterization. Recent advancements in four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have enabled us to assess patients from the perspective of fluid dynamics by visualising blood flow and calculating quantitative parameters such as wall shear stress and energy loss within cardiac chambers or blood vessels. Several reports have demonstrated that the intra-cardiac energy loss decreased along with improvement of cardiac function achieved by treatment of cardiac diseases. Whether changes in energy loss occur along with PTSMA in HOCM patients and the underlying mechanism remain unknown.
Purpose
This study sought to investigate the influence of PTSMA in patients with HOCM on energy loss in the left ventricle (LV) and aortic root measured by 4D flow MRI.
Methods
We retrospectively recruited HOCM patients who underwent PTSMA at a referral centre from May to November 2019. Patients who underwent 4D flow MRI both before and after PTSMA were included. We collected demographic and clinical data from electronic health records. MRI scans implemented two-dimensional phase-contrast imaging of the three-chamber plane with three-directional velocity, using a 1.5 T scanner. Furthermore, 4D blood flow analysis was performed on off-line saved data, using iTFlow version 1.9. We assessed energy loss in one cardiac cycle within the three-chamber plane of the LV and aortic root (area surrounded by the LV endocardium, sinotubular junction, and mitral annulus).
Results
This study finally included 12 patients, whose mean age was 66±12 years, and 5 (42%) of whom were men. The pressure gradient between the LV apex and ascending aorta was 81±32 mmHg before and 20±22 mmHg immediately after PTSMA (P<0.005, paired). Before PTSMA, 6 patients were in New York Heart Association functional class III and the other 6 in class II. However, after PTSMA, 10 patients improved to class I and 2 to class II. PTSMA reduced energy loss in one cardiac cycle within the three-chamber plane of the LV and aortic root, from 79±36 mJ/m to 55±19 mJ/m (P=0.001, paired).
Conclusions
PTSMA in patients with HOCM reduced energy loss within the LV and aortic root, indicating significant decrease with cardiac workload. Four-dimensional flow MRI of the three-chamber plane to assess energy loss within the LV and aortic root is a time-efficient and reproducible quantitative method to evaluate the effects of PTSMA. Given its non-invasive nature, it also enables to sequentially follow-up HOCM patients who underwent PTSMA.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are enriched in glycoconjugates and display specific glycosignatures. Aberrant expression of surface glycoconjugates is closely correlated with cancer progression and metastasis. The essential functions of glycoconjugates in sEVs are poorly understood. In this study, we observed significantly reduced levels of bisecting GlcNAc in breast cancer. Introduction of bisecting GlcNAc into breast cancer cells altered the bisecting GlcNAc status on sEVs, and sEVs with diverse bisecting GlcNAc showed differing functions on recipient cells. Carcinogenesis and metastasis of recipient cells were enhanced by sEVs with low bisecting GlcNAc, and the pro‐metastatic functions of sEVs was diminished by high bisecting GlcNAc modification. We further identified vesicular integrin β1 as a target protein bearing bisecting GlcNAc. Metastasis of recipient cells was strongly suppressed by high bisecting GlcNAc levels on vesicular β1. Our findings demonstrate the important roles of glycoconjugates on sEVs. Modification of sEV glycosylation may contribute to development of novel targets in breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the roles of ERCC1/XPF gene polymorphisms in the occurrence of breast cancer in the Uygur and Han ethnic groups in Xinjiang, China. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected by TaqMan real‐time PCR. The rs11615 G>A and rs2276466 C>G variant frequencies were higher in Uygur patients with breast cancer than in Han patients, while the frequency of rs2298881 C>A was higher in Han patients. We found that rs2298881 C>A (CA vs. CC: OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.20‐0.60; AA vs. CC: OR = 0.13, 95% CI = 0.04‐0.34; CA + AA vs. CC: OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.18‐0.51; AA vs. CA + CC: OR = 0.24, 95% CI = 0.08‐0.62; CA vs. AA + CC: OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.29‐0.82) was associated with a reduced breast cancer risk and rs3212986 C>A (AA vs. CC: OR = 4.80, 95% CI = 1.79‐15.29,; CA+AA vs. CC: OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.06‐2.77; AA vs. CA+CC: OR = 4.12, 95% CI =1.58‐12.89) and rs11615 G > A (AA vs. GG: OR = 3.49, 95% CI =1.54‐8.55; GA + AA vs. GG: OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.21‐3.27; AA vs. GA+GG: OR = 2.87, 95% CI = 1.30‐6.85) were associated with an elevated breast cancer risk among Uygur individuals. In addition, Uygur patients with breast cancer with 2‐3 combined risk genotypes of ERCC1 had a higher risk than patients with 0‐1 risk genotypes (OR = 2.91; 95% CI = 1.54‐5.71, p = 0.001). However, we failed to detect a statistically significant association between ERCC1/XPF polymorphisms and breast cancer risk in five genetic models among Han individuals. Our results showed that ERCC1/XPF gene polymorphisms predispose Uygur individuals to breast cancer; this finding should be verified by further large‐scale analyses.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Breast cancer (BC), a common malignant tumor, ranks first among cancers in terms of morbidity and mortality among female patients. Currently, identifying effective prognostic models has a significant association with the prediction of the overall survival of patients with BC and guidance of clinicians in early diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVES To identify a potential DNA repair-related prognostic signature through a comprehensive evaluation and to further improve the accuracy of prediction of the overall survival of patients with BC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this prognostic study, conducted from October 9, 2019, to February 3, 2020, the gene expression profiles and clinical data of patients with BC were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. This study consisted of a training set from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and 2 validation cohorts from the Gene Expression Omnibus, which included 1096 patients with BC. A prognostic signature based on 8 DNA repair-related genes (DRGs) was developed to predict overall survival among female patients with BC. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary screening prognostic biomarkers were analyzed using univariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox proportional hazards regression. A risk model was completely established through multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Finally, a prognostic nomogram, combining the DRG signature and clinical characteristics of patients, was constructed. To examine the potential mechanisms of the DRGs, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed. RESULTS In this prognostic study based on samples from 1096 women with BC (mean [SD] age, 59.6 [13.1] years), 8 DRGs (MDC1, RPA3, MED17, DDB2, SFPQ, XRCC4, CYP19A1, and PARP3) were identified as prognostic biomarkers. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis suggested that the 8-gene signature had a good predictive accuracy. In the training cohort, the areas under the curve were 0.708 for 3-year survival and 0.704 for 5-year survival. In the validation cohort, the areas under the curve were 0.717 for 3-year survival and 0.772 for 5-year survival in the GSE9893 data set and 0.691 for 3-year survival and 0.718 for 5-year survival in the GSE42568 data set. This DRG signature mainly involved some regulation pathways of vascular endothelial cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, a prognostic signature using 8 DRGs was developed that successfully predicted overall survival among female patients with BC. This risk model provides new clinical evidence for the diagnostic accuracy and targeted treatment of BC.

Abstract
Previous studies of correlations of microRNA (miR)-499 rs3746444 and miR-196a-2 rs11614913 polymorphisms with glioma risk have yielded inconsistent results. In this study, relationships between these two polymorphisms and glioma risk and survival were evaluated. In total, 605 patients and 1,300 controls were genotyped. rs3746444 increased glioma risk in five genetic models (GA versus AA, odds ratio [OR], 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.31 [1.05–1.66], p = 0.02; GG versus AA, OR [95% CI] = 10.70 [6.13–18.69], p < 0.0001; GA + GG versus AA, OR [95% CI] = 1.82 [1.47–2.24], p < 0.0001; GG versus AA + GA, OR [95% CI] = 9.99 [5.74–17.40], p < 0.0001; G versus A, OR [95% CI] = 2.18 [1.82–2.60], p < 0.0001). rs11614913 decreased glioma risk in a recessive model (OR [95% CI] = 0.79 [0.64–0.97], p = 0.03). No relationships between either SNP and survival were found. rs3746444 in the miR-499 seed region could affect target recognition. Bioinformatics analyses indicated that miR-499 rs3746444 is involved in various biological processes and pathways, including “cell adhesion molecule binding,” “positive regulation of catabolic process,” “NF-kappa B pathway,” and “PI3K-Akt pathway,” by targeting mRNAs. Our results suggested that miR-499 rs3746444 and miR-196a-2 rs11614913 have crucial roles in glioma susceptibility.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been successfully used for treating melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. However, many patients with breast cancer (BC) show low response to ICIs due to the paucity of infiltrating immune cells. Pseudogenes, as a particular kind of long-chain noncoding RNA, play vital roles in tumorigenesis, but their potential roles in tumor immunology remain unclear. In this study that used data from online databases, the novel pseudogene HLA-DPB2 and its parental gene HLA-DPB1 were overexpressed and correlated with better prognosis in BC. Mechanistically, our results revealed that HLA-DPB2 might serve as an endogenous RNA to increase HLA-DPB1 expression by competitively binding with has-miR-370-3p. Functionally, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis indicated that the HLA-DPB2/HLA-DPB1 axis was strongly relevant to immune-related biological functions. Further analysis demonstrated that high expression levels of the HLA-DPB2 and HLA-DPB1 were significantly associated with high immune infiltration abundance of CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, Tfh, Th1, and NK cells and with high expression of majority biomarkers of monocytes, NK cell, T cell, CD8+ T cell, and Th1 in BC and its subtype, indicating that HLA-DPB2 can increase the abundance of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the BC microenvironment. Also, the HLA-DPB2 and HLA-DPB1 expression levels positively correlated with the expression levels of programmed cell death protein 1, programmed cell death ligand 1, and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4. Our findings suggest that pseudogene HLA-DPB2 can upregulate HLA-DPB1 through sponging has-miR-370-3p, thus exerting its antitumor effect by recruiting tumor-infiltrating immune cells into the breast tumor microenvironment, and that targeting the HLA-DPB2/HLA-DPB1 axis with ICIs may optimize the current immunotherapy for BC.

Abstract
Background Investigations of disease incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are valuable for facilitating preventive measures and health resource planning. We examined the tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer burdens worldwide according to sex, age, and social development index (SDI) at the global, regional, and national levels. Methods We assessed the TBL cancer burden using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, including 21 regions, 195 countries, and territories in the diagnostic period 1990–2017. The data of TBL cancer-related mortality and DALYs attributable to all known risk factors were also analyzed. Age-standardized rates (ASRs) and their estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated. Results Incident cases, deaths, and DALYs of TBL cancer increased worldwide (100.44%, 82.30%, and 61.27%, respectively). The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) was stable (EAPC = 0.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] − 0.03 to 0.08), but the age-standardized death (EAPC = − 0.34, 95%CI − 0.38 to − 0.3) and DALY rate decreased generally (EAPC = − 0.74, 95%CI − 0.8 to − 0.68). However, the change trend of ASIR and ASDR among sexes was on the contrary. China and the USA always had the highest incidence, mortality, and DALYs of TBL cancer. Significant positive correlations between ASRs and SDI were observed, especially among females. High (36.86%), high-middle (28.78%), and middle SDI quintiles (24.91%) carried the majority burden of TBL cancer. Tobacco remained the top cause of TBL cancer death and DALYs, followed by air pollution, the leading cause in the low-middle and low-SDI quintiles. Metabolic risk-related TBL cancer mortality and DALYs among females increased but was stable among males. The main ages of TBL cancer onset and death were > 50 years, and the DALYs concentrated in 50 − 69 years. Conclusions To significantly reduce the growing burden of TBL cancer, treatment resources need to be skewed according to factors such as risks and geography, especially for high-risk groups and high-burden areas. Asia had the greatest TBL cancer burden, followed by high-income North America. Tobacco remains the leading cause of death and DALYs, followed by air pollution. Effective prevention measures against tobacco and air pollution should be strengthened.

Abstract
Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been successfully used for treating melanoma. Unfortunately, many breast cancer (BC) patients show low response to ICIs due to the lack of infiltrating immune cells. Previous studies revealed that chemokine-CXC receptors (CXCRs) play a crucial role in leukocyte infiltration and promote cancer cell proliferation, migration, metastasis, and angiogenesis. However, the underlying functions of CXCRs in cancer-immunity cycle remain unclear. In this study, we firstly found that in comparison to normal tissues, BC tissues, especially basal-like BC, showed increased mRNA levels of CXCR3/4/5/6/8, but decreased CXCR1/2/7 expression using UALCAN and TIMER database. Interestingly, it's was found that the mRNA levels of CXCR3/4/5/6 were decreased in lymphocyte depleted of the BC immune subtype. Subsequently, functional enrichment analysis of distinct CXCRs indicated that CXCR3/4/5/6 were strongly associated to immune-related biological functions. Therefore, further analysis using TIMER and TISIDB database suggested that CXCR3/4/5/6 expression were strongly correlated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immune checkpoints in BC. Finally, Kaplan-Meier Plotter analysis indicated that high mRNA expression of CXCR4 predicted worse relapse-free survival (RFS), whereas CXCR3/5/6 indicated better RFS in BC patients. These findings suggest a therapeutic value for CXCR3/4/5/6 in combination with ICIs for the treatment of BC.

Abstract
Background LncRNA MEG3 expressed abnormally in various cancers including breast cancer, but no studies reported the correlation between MEG3 SNPs and breast cancer susceptibility among Chinese women. Methods This study is aimed to explore the association between three SNPs of MEG3 (rs3087918, rs7158663, rs11160608) and breast cancer. The study is a population-based case-control study including 434 breast cancer patients and 700 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed using Sequenom MassArray technique. Function prediction of rs3087918 were based on RNAfold and lncRNASNP2 databases. Results Pooled analysis indicated that rs3087918 was related to a decreased risk of breast cancer [GG vs. TT: OR (95%) = 0.67(0.45–0.99), P = 0.042; GG vs. TT + TG: OR (95%) = 0.69(0.48–0.99), P = 0.046], especially for women aged <=49 [GG vs. TT: OR (95%) = 0.40(0.22–0.73), P = 0.02]. Comparison between case groups showed genotype GG and TG/GG of rs3087918 were associated with her-2 receptor expression [GG vs. TT: OR (95%) = 2.37(1.24–4.63), P = 0.010; TG + GG vs. TT: OR (95%) = 1.50(1.01–2.24), P = 0.045]. We didn’t find statistical significance for rs11160608, rs7158663 and breast cancer. Structure prediction based on RNAfold found rs3087918 may influence the secondary structure of MEG3. The results based on lncRNASNP2 indicated that rs3087918 may gain the targets of hsa-miR-1203 to MEG3, while loss the target of hsa-miR-139-3p and hsa-miR-5091 to MEG3. Conclusions MEG3 rs3087918 was associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer. MEG3 haplotype TCG may increase the risk of breast cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To design a simple model to assess the effectiveness of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to different regions of mainland China. METHODS We extracted data on population movements from an internet company data set and the numbers of confirmed cases of COVID-19 from government sources. On 23 January 2020 all travel in and out of the city of Wuhan was prohibited to control the spread of the disease. We modelled two key factors affecting the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in regions outside Wuhan by 1 March 2020: (i) the total the number of people leaving Wuhan during 20-26 January 2020; and (ii) the number of seed cases from Wuhan before 19 January 2020, represented by the cumulative number of confirmed cases on 29 January 2020. We constructed a regression model to predict the cumulative number of cases in non-Wuhan regions in three assumed epidemic control scenarios. FINDINGS Delaying the start date of control measures by only 3 days would have increased the estimated 30 699 confirmed cases of COVID-19 by 1 March 2020 in regions outside Wuhan by 34.6% (to 41 330 people). Advancing controls by 3 days would reduce infections by 30.8% (to 21 235 people) with basic control measures or 48.6% (to 15 796 people) with strict control measures. Based on standard residual values from the model, we were able to rank regions which were most effective in controlling the epidemic. CONCLUSION The control measures in Wuhan combined with nationwide traffic restrictions and self-isolation reduced the ongoing spread of COVID-19 across China.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a clear etiology of cervical cancer (CC). However, the associations between HPV infection and DNA methylation have not been thoroughly investigated. Additionally, it remains unknown whether HPV‐related methylation signatures can identify subtypes of CC and stratify the prognosis of CC patients. DNA methylation profiles were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas to identify HPV‐related methylation sites. Unsupervised clustering analysis of HPV‐related methylation sites was performed to determine the different CC subtypes. CC patients were categorized into cluster 1 (Methylation‐H), cluster 2 (Methylation‐M), and cluster 3 (Methylation‐L). Compared to Methylation‐M and Methylation‐L, Methylation‐H exhibited a significantly improved overall survival (OS). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was conducted to investigate the functions that correlated with different CC subtypes. GSEA indicated that the hallmarks of tumors, including KRAS signaling, TNFα signaling via NF‐κB, inflammatory response, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and interferon‐gamma response, were enriched in Methylation‐M and Methylation‐L. Based on mutation and copy number variation analyses, we found that aberrant mutations, amplifications, and deletions among the MYC, Notch, PI3K‐AKT, and RTK‐RAS pathways were most frequently detected in Methylation‐H. Additionally, mutations, amplifications, and deletions within the Hippo, PI3K‐AKT, and TGF‐β pathways were presented in Methylation‐M. Genes within the cell cycle, Notch, and Hippo pathways possessed aberrant mutations, amplifications, and deletions in Methylation‐L. Moreover, the analysis of tumor microenvironments revealed that Methylation‐H was characterized by a relatively low degree of immune cell infiltration. Finally, a prognostic signature based on six HPV‐related methylation sites was developed and validated. Our study revealed that CC patients could be classified into three heterogeneous clusters based on HPV‐related methylation signatures. Additionally, we derived a prognostic signature using six HPV‐related methylation sites that stratified the OS of patients with CC into high‐ and low‐risk groups.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated a correlation between nut intake and cancer risk in humans. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the relationship between nut consumption and the risks of cancer incidence and mortality. The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched up to August 2019. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using random-effects and fixed-effects models. We included 38 studies on nut consumption and cancer risk and 9 studies on cancer-specific mortality. Compared with no nut intake, nut intake was associated with a lower cancer risk (Relative Risk=0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.86–0.94). Inverse associations were observed with colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer in subgroup analyses. Tree nut consumption was found to reduce cancer risk (Relative Risk=0.88; 95% confidence interval, 0.79–0.99). Dose-response curves suggested that protective benefits against cancer increased with increased nut intake (P=0.005, P-nonlinearity=0.0414). An inverse correlation with cancer-specific mortality (Odd Ratio=0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.88–0.92) was observed. In conclusion, nut consumption is inversely associated with the risks of cancer incidence and mortality; a higher intake is significantly associated with a lower cancer risk.

Abstract
Purpose: A substantial number of cancer patients discontinue chemotherapy due to severe chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of thalidomide (THD) in CINV. Methods: We searched different databases to identify related studies that investigated the efficacy and safety of THD in CINV. The primary outcomes were CINV in the acute (0-24 h), delayed (24-120 h), and overall (0-120 h) phases, respectively. The secondary outcomes were the safety of THD and the patients' quality of life (QOL). Results: Fourteen randomized control trials (RCTs) including 1744 patients (42% male) reported the risk ratio (RR) and 95%CI of the THD group versus control group in reducing nausea and vomiting. Meta-analysis showed that THD statistically enhanced the complete response rate of nausea and vomiting in the delayed (nausea: RR = 1.69, 95%CI: 1.47-1.94; vomiting: RR = 1.38, 95%CI: 1.26-1.51) and overall phases (nausea: RR = 1.54, 95%CI: 1.31-1.81; vomiting: RR = 1.31, 95%CI: 1.18-1.46). Furthermore, subgroup analysis based on THD dosage (100 vs 200 mg/day) demonstrated no statistical significance with respect to overlapping 95%CI. Thirty studies monitored the adverse events (AEs) of THD, all under grade 3 based on the CTCAE criteria. We compared the eight most common AEs; sedation, constipation, and drowsiness/dizziness were slightly frequent compared with controls. Conclusion: THD is an effective adjuvant and a potential alternative in reducing delayed and overall CINV. Other regimens might be added for CINV during the acute phase.

Abstract
Introduction Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT) has good targeting and non-invasive advantages in solid cancers, but its antitumor effect is not sufficient to replace traditional treatments. Some studies that combined SDT with chemotherapy or nanoparticles have managed to enhance its efficiency and overcome the side effects of chemotherapy. Materials and Methods In this study, we synthesized and characterized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-DOX-Ce6) loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and sonosensitizer, chlorin e6 (Ce6). Then, we conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments to explore the antitumor effect of MSN-DOX-Ce6 under ultrasound (US) treatment. Results The characterization tests showed that the nanoparticles are uniformly sized spheres with mesoporous structure, resulting in a high drug-loading efficiency. In the in vitro experiments, MSN-DOX-Ce6 could effectively inhibit cell proliferation under US but not more than other treatment groups. However, the in vivo studies showed that MSN-DOX-Ce6+US has better antitumor effect than DOX+Ce6+US or DOX alone on xenograft tumor-bearing mice. Conclusion In summary, MSNs showed a great potential for DOX and Ce6 delivery. We concluded that under US, MSN-DOX-Ce6 nanocomposites increase the antitumor effect of DOX and SDT and thereby are a potential treatment for solid tumors.

Abstract
In this study, to investigate the effect of overexpression of miR-146a on autophagy of hippocampal neurons in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), 72 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the sham, ICH, miR-146a agomir, and miR-146a agomir control groups. The ICH model was constructed by injection of collagenase VII. The apoptosis of hippocampal neurons was measured by TUNEL assay. The levels of LC3 and Beclin 1 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Mitochondrial autophagy was examined by transmission electron microscopy. The levels of LC3A, LC3B, Beclin 1, Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase 3 were examined by Western blot. Western blot was also used to evaluate the expression of nuclear factor κB signaling pathway-related factors. To examine the effect of autophagy inhibitor (3-methyladenine (3-MA)) on miR-146a-regulated apoptotic protein expression, 30 rats were further divided into the sham, ICH, miR-146a agomir, 3-MA, and miR-146a + 3-MA groups. The levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase 3 were examined by Western blot. Compared with the sham group, the nerve function scores, brain water content, the percentage of apoptotic cells, and the expression levels of LC3, Beclin 1, Bax, cleaved caspase 3, and p-P65 in the hippocampus of rats in the ICH group were all significantly increased (p < 0.05), whereas the expression levels of miR-146a, Bcl-2, and p-IκBα were markedly decreased (p < 0.05). Mitochondrial autophagy was also evident. Furthermore, compared with the ICH group, the results of the abovementioned tests in the miR-146a agomir group were reversed. The overexpression of miR-146a inhibited the autophagy of hippocampal neurons in rats with ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The patterns of the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer (PC) have been changing over the years. In addition, the unclear etiology of PC necessitates further studies into the geographic distribution and age composition of patients with PC. This study was aimed at examining the patterns of the epidemiology of PC to help policymakers to allocate the limited resources of the health care system accordingly. METHODS Annual case data and age-standardized rates (ASRs) were obtained for the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of PC according to age from 1990 to 2017 and for 21 regions, including 195 countries and territories. The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) of ASRs were calculated to evaluate the incidence and mortality trends of PC. RESULTS Worldwide, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of PC increased from 30.5 cases per 100,000 population in 1990 to 37.9 cases per 100,000 population in 2017 with an EAPC of 0.59 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.49-0.7), whereas the mortality decreased with an EAPC of -0.73 (95% CI, -0.80 to -0.67). The ASIR was positively associated with the sociodemographic index (SDI) in most regions, and the increase in the ASIR was steeper with a higher SDI. The proportion of patients younger than 65 years increased from 23.6% in 1990 to 27.3% in 2017. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of PC has been increasing globally, whereas its mortality and DALYs have been decreasing. These trends are particularly significant in developed regions and vary across geographic regions. Adjustments to the medical strategy by governments and medical institutions are required.

Abstract
Aim To explore the clinical effect of endometrial injury (EI) on the third day of the menstrual cycle before frozen–thawed embryo transfer (frozen–thawed ET) on patients experienced two or more implantation failures. Methods A total of 200 patients who suffered at least two failed hormone‐replacement therapies and frozen–thawed ET were randomly divided into two groups: EI group and control group (n = 100 in each group). Patients in the EI group received local EI with a Pipelle catheter on the third day of the menstrual cycle before frozen–thawed ET. Primary outcomes were live birth, clinical pregnancy and implantation rates. Secondary outcomes were biochemical, multiple and ectopic pregnancy rates and abortion rates. Results The rate of live birth in EI group (51.00%) was significantly higher than that of control group (36.00%) (P = 0.032). Clinical pregnancy and implantation rates in EI group were significantly higher comparing to control group (64.00% vs 48.00%, P = 0.023 and 46.74% vs 30.11%, P = 0.001). The rate of multiple pregnancy in EI group (37.50%) was significantly higher than that of control group (18.75%) (P = 0.031). No significant difference in ectopic pregnancy rate and abortion rate was observed between EI group and control group. Conclusion Applying EI to patients experienced two or more implantation failures on the third day of the menstrual cycle before frozen–thawed ET can improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Several studies have indicated that the use of antihypertensive medications may influence the incidence of bladder/kidney cancer, with some scholars refuting any such association. Hence, a systematic review is needed to verify this linkage. we comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for original studies reporting a relationship between antihypertensive medications and risk of bladder/kidney cancer. We included 31 articles comprising 3,352,264 participants. We found a significant association between the risk of kidney cancer and any antihypertensive medications use (relative risk (RR) = 1.45, 95% CI 1.20-1.75), as well as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (RR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.48), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) (RR = 1.29, 95% CI:1.22-1.37), beta-blockers (RR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.11-1.66), calcium-channel blockers (RR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.54-1.78) and diuretics (RR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.19-1.51). In case of bladder cancer, a statistical significance was observed with the use of ARB (RR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.03-1.11) but not with the other antihypertensive medications. There was a linear association between the duration of antihypertensive medications and the risk of kidney cancer (P = 0.061 for a non-linear trend) and the pooled RR for the per year increase in antihypertensive medications duration of use was 1.02 (95% CI: 1.01-1.02). Our results indicate that there is a significant association between each class of antihypertensive medications and the risk of kidney cancer, and this trend presented as a positive linear association. Furthermore, the use of ARB has been linked to the risk of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Public health physician is one of the four statutory types of physicians in China, but there is no consensus on their connotation. The main problems are that public health physician is confused with those who perform public health tasks, the relationship between public health physician and clinician and the connotation of prescription right is not clear, and there is limitation in public health education and relevant laws and regulations. Public health physician is positioned as professionals who monitor, investigate, evaluate, and intervene in population health-related issues. It is suggested to retain the practicing qualification of public health physicians and highlight the attribute of public health physicians' prescribing the prescriptions for community health. Encourage public health physicians to obtain qualification for clinicians to individual prescription, Encourage clinicians to access to public health physician qualification. Improve public health school education, take the pilot of public health physician standardization training, cultivate "prevention and treatment combined" physician.

Abstract
Prediction of phenotypes from genotypes is an important objective to fulfill the promises of genomics, precision medicine and agriculture. Although it's now possible to account for the majority of genetic variation through model fitting, prediction of phenotypes remains a challenge, especially across populations that have diverged in the past. In this study, we designed simulation experiments to specifically investigate the role of genetic interactions in failure of polygenic prediction. We found that non-additive genetic interactions can significantly reduce the accuracy of polygenic prediction. Our study demonstrated the importance of considering genetic interactions in genetic prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, the number of negative lymph nodes (NLNs) has been paid increasing attention and is considered a prognostic indicator in diverse cancers. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the association between number of NLNs and prognosis in esophageal cancer (EC) patients. METHODS Our data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 18 database. The X-tile plot was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of the number of NLNs, and propensity score matching (PSM) was performed according to the results of the X-tile plot. RESULTS A total of 4777 patients were eligible, and 882 pairs of patients were included after PSM. The result of the X-tile plot revealed an optimal cut-off value of three NLNs. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed better EC-specific survival (ECSS) in patients with more than three NLNs (hazard ratio [HR] 0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.59-0.77; p < 0.001) compared with patients with three or fewer NLNs. A subgroup analysis revealed better ECSS in patients with more than three NLNs with one to two (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.46-0.71; p < 0.001) or three to six (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.50-0.92; p = 0.012) positive lymph nodes (PLNs). CONCLUSIONS More than three NLNs is associated with better survival in EC patients, especially when the number of PLNs is one to two or three to six. We confirm that the combination of the number of NLNs and number of PLNs can provide better prognostic guidance for EC.
