Int J Equity Health 2020; 19:212. [PMID: 33246477 PMCID: PMC7694412 DOI: 10.1186/s12939-020-01323-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women in the developed world. In order to find developing cancers in an early stage, BC screening is commonly used. In Flanders, screening is performed in and outside an organized breast cancer screening program (BCSP). However, the determinants of BC screening coverage for both screening strategies are yet unknown. Objective To assess the determinants of BC screening coverage in Flanders. Methods Reimbursement data were used to attribute a screening status to each woman in the target population for the years 2008–2016. Yearly coverage data were categorized as screening inside or outside BCSP or no screening. Data were clustered by municipality level. A generalized linear equation model was used to assess the determinants of screening type. Results Over all years and municipalities, the median screening coverage rate inside and outside BCSP was 48.40% (IQR: 41.50–54.40%) and 14.10% (IQR: 9.80–19.80%) respectively. A higher coverage rate outside BSCP was statistically significantly (P < 0.001) associated with more crowded households (OR: 3.797, 95% CI: 3.199–4.508), younger age, higher population densities (OR: 2.528, 95% CI: 2.455–2.606), a lower proportion of unemployed job seekers (OR: 0.641, 95% CI: 0.624–0.658) and lower use of dental care (OR: 0.969, 95% CI: 0.967–0.972). Conclusion Coverage rate of BC screening is not optimal in Flanders. Women with low SES that are characterized by younger age, living in a high population density area, living in crowded households, or having low dental care are less likely to be screened for BC in Flanders. If screened, they are more likely to be screened outside the BCSP.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Schistosomiasis is extremely rare in the United States. Most patients diagnosed in the US have an international travel history or recently immigrated from endemic areas. We report a case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with a three-month history of daily abdominal pain, decreased appetite, weight loss, and microcytic anemia. The patient had alternating symptoms of constipation and diarrhea mimicking Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Methods
CT scans showed distal sigmoid colon with wall thickening and hyperenhancement. Stool Helicobacter pylori antigen test was positive and hemoglobin levels were low (11 g/dL). The blood eosinophil count was initially within the normal range but was significantly elevated three months later (2,115 cells/µL).
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were performed, which showed patchy areas of erythema and punctate bleeding within the descending and sigmoid colon.
Results
Gastrointestinal tract biopsies revealed focal, prominent eosinophilic infiltrates in the lamina propria. There were multifocal granulomas and fibrosis surrounding Schistosoma ova in the lamina propria and submucosa of duodenum, cecum, colon, and rectum. Acid-fast stain highlights the shell and spine of the ova. A retrospective chart review revealed that the patient had traveled to Yemen one month before the onset of symptoms. Schistosomiasis is among the top differentials for marked, sustained eosinophilia, especially with relevant travel history. Distortions caused by processing and sectioning can make speciation difficult on tissue sections. Acid-fast staining of the shell would favor S. mansoni over S. intercalatum; however, the S. intercalatum-S. hematobium hybrid also has an acid fast–positive shell. The duodenum is an uncommon location to find Schistosoma ova, which are usually found in the rectum and sigmoid colon.
Conclusion
The symptoms of gastrointestinal schistosomiasis may mimic IBS, and eosinophilia may initially be not evident as in this case. However, a high degree of suspicion is required in diagnosing schistosomiasis in patients from endemic areas.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Lupus podocytopathy (LP), featured by nephrotic syndrome, is a unique subtype of lupus nephritis that mimics minimal change disease or primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) on renal biopsy with diffuse podocyte foot process effacement and no capillary-loop immune deposits. LP usually presents on a background of ISN/RPS class I or class II lupus nephritis, and very rarely may present without immune deposits.
Diagnosis of LP, when confounded by other glomerular diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome, can be very challenging and requires thorough clinical and pathology correlations.
Methods
Here we report a case of LP in a patient with nephrotic syndrome and multiple comorbidities affecting kidneys. A 24-year-old female with type-I diabetes, psoriasis, and intermittent arthritis/rash of unknown etiology, presented with abrupt onset of nephrotic proteinuria attributed to recent low dose prednisone therapy, and renal insufficiency. A renal biopsy showed nodular glomerulosclerosis and FSGS. No immune deposits were identified by immunofluorescence or electron microscopy. Ultrastructurally there was also diffuse glomerular basement membrane thickening and over 90% podocyte foot process effacement. With no established systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the case was initially diagnosed as diabetic nephropathy with coexistent FSGS as the etiologies for nephrotic proteinuria, and the patient was put on ACEI and diuretics. However, massive proteinuria persisted, and the patient also developed pancytopenia. Serology concurrent with the biopsy came out later showing positive autoantibodies against dsDNA, Smith, and Histone. With continued worsening of creatinine, a renal biopsy was repeated revealing essentially similar findings to the first biopsy.
Results
Integrating the serology results and clinical presentation, SLE was favored. The pathology findings were re- evaluated and considered to be most consistent with LP and coexistent diabetic nephropathy, with FSGS either a component of LP or an independent lesion secondary to diabetes or hypertension. The patient was started with high dose prednisone at 60 mg/day. One month later, her proteinuria, serum creatinine, pancytopenia, skin rash, and arthritis were all significantly improved.
Conclusion
LP can be easily masked by coexistent glomerular diseases. Sufficient awareness of the entity is necessary for the appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, also known as Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), is a rare and benign self-limiting process primarily affecting 20~35-year-old Asian women with spontaneous remission after weeks to months of illness. Although the involvement of T cell-mediated immune response, infections, and HLA class II gene have been proposed as possible etiologies, the detailed pathogenesis has not been elucidated. Very few literatures exhibited KFD displaying chromosomal abnormality such as t(2:16).
Methods
Here, we report a rare case of KFD with novel karyotype abnormalities in a 24-year-old African American male. It presented as painless cervical lymphadenopathy for one month without fever, night sweats, or weight loss. An excisional biopsy of the lymph node (LN) was performed.
Results
Tissue culture for bacteria and flow cytometry of the LN were negative. Histopathology revealed numerous pale circumscribed foci composed of lymphocytes, histiocytes, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and abundant karyorrhectic debris in the background of coagulative necrosis. No neutrophils or hematoxylin bodies are seen.
Immunohistochemical studies showed CD3+/CD4+ T lymphocytes, CD68+ histiocytes, and CD123+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Abnormal karyotype was observed as: 46, XY, del(6) (q?16q?22).
Conclusion
We present this case to demonstrate that 1. Although KFD is most prevalent in young Asian females, it may occur in both genders and other ethnical groups and perhaps represents an underdiagnosed process. 2. KFD can mimic a variety of diseases such as rheumatologic, infectious, and hematologic malignancies; a thorough workup including serology, culture, and flow cytometry is needed to exclude serious diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and malignancy to render an early diagnosis which may avoid unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. 3. Cytogenic abnormalities, although observed in many malignancies, should not be used as a sole determinant of malignancy, and the interpretation needs to be in a relevant clinical and histopathological context in a multidisciplinary setting to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Increasing evidence indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial regulators for cancer development. Bladder cancer (BCa) is a major threat to human health. The aim of this study was to analyze the roles of miR-652-3p in BCa, and to explore the associated mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS MiR-652-3p expression in BCa cell lines was explored using Real Time-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) method. MiR-652-3p expression level in BCa tissues was explored at StarBase. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, wound-healing assay, and transwell invasion assay were conducted to investigate the biological roles of miR-652-3p. The underlying mechanisms of miR-652-3p in NSCLC were investigated using luciferase activity reporter assay and rescue experiments. RESULTS We showed that miR-652-3p expression level was upregulated in both BCa tissues and cell lines. The knockdown of miR-652-3p significantly inhibited BCa cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Moreover, we showed that potassium intermediate/small conductance calcium-activated channel, subfamily N, member 3 (KCNN3) was a functional target for miR-652-3p. Besides, the expression of KCNN3 in BCa tissues was negatively correlated with miR-652-3p. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these results showed that miR-652-3p could promote BCa cell proliferation, migration, and invasion via directly regulating KCNN3, which may provide a novel therapeutic target for BCa treatment.

Abstract
Extensive use of titanium alloys is partly hindered by a lack of ductility, strain hardening, and fracture toughness. Recently, several β-metastable titanium alloys were designed to simultaneously activate both transformation-induced plasticity and twinning-induced plasticity effects, resulting in significant improvements to their strain hardening capacity and resistance to plastic localization. Here, we report an ultra-large fracture resistance in a Ti-12Mo alloy (wt.%), that results from a high resistance to damage nucleation, with an unexpected fracture phenomenology under quasi-static loading. Necking develops at a large uniform true strain of 0.3 while fracture initiates at a true fracture strain of 1.0 by intense through-thickness shear within a thin localized shear band. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that dynamic recrystallization occurs in this band, while local partial melting is observed on the fracture surface. Shear band temperatures of 1250–2450 °C are estimated by the fusible coating method. The reported high ductility combined to the unconventional fracture process opens alternative avenues toward Ti alloys toughening. Specific titanium alloys combine transformation-induced plasticity and twinning-induced plasticity for improved work hardening. Here, the authors show that these alloys also have an ultra-large fracture resistance and an unexpected fracture mechanism via dynamic recrystallization and local melting in a deformation band.

Abstract
A persistent central deficiency in our knowledge of cancer concerns how genomic changes drive the proteome and phosphoproteome to execute phenotypic characteristics. Furthermore increasing evidence implicating epigenetic and post-translational changes in cancer biology reinforce the notion that molecular profiles based on nucleic acids are incomplete and are critically complemented by analyses of proteins and their post-translational modifications. We present the first integrated proteogenomic study on a prospectively collected breast cancer cohort, and provide new insights including on taxonomy, metabolic dependencies, and immune milieu. 122 invasive ductal breast cancer samples were collected under the auspices of the National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium using rigorous protocols to minimize ischemic time and other pre-analytical variability. Samples underwent comprehensive genomic and proteomic characterization, providing whole exome, whole genome, copy number, RNAseq, global proteome, phosphoproteome, and acetylome data. Multi-omics clustering by nonnegative matrix factorization revealed basal-, luminal A-, and HER2-enriched clusters, as well as a combined luminal A/B cluster. Luminal A and A/B clusters were distinguished by differential expression of cytoskeletal signatures possibly driven by YAP1 overexpression and hyper-phosphorylation in the luminal A subset. Kinase outlier analysis revealed luminal A enrichment of PEAK1, an atypical kinase that regulates YAP1 expression. PTPN2, recently shown to synergize with anti-PD1 therapy, was an outlier in basal tumors, suggesting therapeutic opportunities in that difficult-to-treat subtype. Acetylation plays a dominant role in mitochondrial metabolism, and downregulation of deacetylase SIRT3 in basal and HER2-enriched samples was associated with upregulation of TCA cycle- and amino acid metabolism-related proteins suggesting metabolic dependencies that could be exploited. Immunological subtyping of the breast cohort identified immune-cold, immune-hot, immune-excluded and interferon-independent clusters associated with distinct patterns of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Basal tumors generally overexpressed PDL1 relative to other subtypes, whereas the newly described immuno-oncology target SIGLEC15 was overexpressed in luminal tumors. While these and other analyses are intended to provide new insights into breast cancer biology and facilitate testable therapeutic hypotheses, the larger purpose of the program is to provide a resource to the breast cancer and broader scientific communities. To facilitate this, these and previously published data will be integrated to provide a sample set of 199 proteogenomically characterized breast cancers for further exploration.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 early genes E2 and E6 and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) E2 and their interaction effects in the progression of the cervical cancer. Methods: Women with normal cervix (NC), low cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN Ⅰ) and high cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ) from the cervical lesions cohort in Jiexiu County of Shanxi Province from June 2014 to September 2014, and patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University in the same period were enrolled in this study. There were 257 participants, about 67 NC cases (26.07%), 69 CIN Ⅰ cases (26.85%), 68 CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ cases (26.46%), and 53 SCC cases (20.62%), respectively. The information of demographic characteristics, life health habits and cervical lesions were collected by using the structured questionnaire. Cervical exfoliated cells and cervical biopsy tissues were collected to detect the infection of HPV16 and the protein expression levels of hnRNP E2, HPV16 E2 and E6. According to the median-value of the protein expression levels of hnRNP E2, HPV16 E2 and E6 and E2/E6 ratio in the NC group, the study participants were divided into the high and low expression groups/ratio groups. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between HPV16 early gene E2 and E6, hnRNP E2 and cervical cancer. The interaction effect was analyzed by using the generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) model. Results: The ages of NC, CIN Ⅰ, CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ and SCC groups were (47.00±9.07), (47.64±7.35), (46.37±8.67) and (51.26±8.03) years old, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that the HPV16 E2 low expression, E6 high expression and E2/E6 low ratio could increase the risk of CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ, about OR (95%CI) values 11.11 (1.63-75.56), 8.00 (1.28-50.04), and 9.75 (1.22-77.72), respectively and SCC, about OR (95%CI) values 14.22 (2.11-95.88), 10.33 (1.67-64.00), and 12.38 (1.56-97.91), respectively. The hnRNP E2 low expression could increase the risk of CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ and SCC, about OR (95%CI) values 3.35 (1.39-8.10) and 5.53 (1.54-19.88). The result of GMDR showed that there were interaction effects of the hnRNP E2 low expression, HPV16 E2 low expression and HPV16 E6 high expression in both CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ and SCC groups. Conclusion: The HPV16 E2 low expression, HPV16 E6 high expression and hnRNP E2 low expression could increase the risk of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer, and they might have an important interaction effect in the progression of the cervical cancer.

Abstract
Four different models of infection of chickens with Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) were evaluated. Normal or immunosuppressed chicks (10 days old) were infected with the MG Rlow strain via eye and nasal drops or by direct air sac injection. Bacterial load in the lungs was quantified and air sac and tracheal lesion scores, tracheal mucosal thickness and humoral immune responses were assessed. Serum antibody responses were assessed by use of a serum plate agglutination test. Three days post infection (dpi), all immunosuppressed chicks had developed significant respiratory signs. Chicks infected via air sac injection had significant differences in serum antibody and gross lesion scores at 5 dpi. All chicks had developed pathological changes by 7 dpi. Air sac inoculation of immunosuppressed chicks produced more significant (P ≤0.05) lesions, and these birds had the highest bacterial load in the lungs compared with other groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The pathophysiological model of tics generally describes disruption of γ-aminobutyric acid transmission, and taurine is found to be an agonist of γ-aminobutyric acid receptors. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of taurine as an add-on treatment for tics. METHODS Four hundred and four youngsters with tic disorders were randomly assigned to 12 weeks of either oral taurine or placebo. The Yale Global Tic Severity Scale was used to measure tic severity. The primary outcome measure was global severity scores reduced by more than 60% compared with baseline scores. RESULTS Three hundred and eighty-two patients were successfully treated. At week 4, no significant differences were found in the treatment effect and the total occurrence of adverse drug reactions between the taurine and placebo groups. At week 12, the proportion of significant improvement in tics was significantly higher in the taurine group than the placebo group (53.4% with taurine versus 34.5% without taurine; relative risk 1.546; P < 0.001), and no group differences were found in the total occurrence of adverse drug reactions. CONCLUSIONS Taurine is safe and effective for tics.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
We have found L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (L2HGDH) to be downregulated in the myocardium of mice subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC). L2HGDH is an important regulator of mitochondrial bioenergetics by catalyzing the conversion of L-2-hydroxyglutarate (L2-HG) to α-ketoglutarate. However, the connection between L2-HG accumulation and heart failure is not yet understood.
Purpose
Purpose of our study was to investigate the role of increased L2-HG levels in heart failure and the potential role of L2HGDH overexpression as therapeutic strategy.
Methods
For in vitro studies, primary rat neonatal cardiomyocytes (NRVCMs) were incubated with L2-HG. L2HGDH was overexpressed using adeno-associated virus (AAV) 6 vectors. Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using TMRE (tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester) dye. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production was monitored using MitoSOX. We further determined activation of fetal gene program by real time qPCR and macrophage migration using RAW 264.7 cells and transwell inserts. mTOR activation was analyzed by Western blot with antibodies against phosphorylated mTOR and ribosomal protein S6. AAV9 expressing L2HGDH or luciferase was injected in C57BL/6N mice two weeks prior to TAC and heart function was monitored by echocardiography for 6 weeks.
Results
L2-HG acts as a pro-hypertrophic stimulus in NRVCMs as shown by upregulation of a fetal gene expression pattern and an increase in cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area upon L2-HG treatment. Furthermore, mRNA levels of macrophage chemoattractant protein 1 were increased in L2-HG treated cells, which correlated with enhanced macrophage migration towards supernatant of L2-HG treated NRVCMs. Furthermore, we could confirm that L2-HG augmented mTOR signaling by affecting the phosphorylation status of ribosomal protein S6. AAV-mediated L2HGDH overexpression in NRVCMs led to a significant 2.1-fold decrease in the accumulation of ROS production. Moreover, we found an inhibition of endothelin-1 induced mitochondrial membrane depolarization in AAV6-L2HGDH transduced cells.
Pretreatment of mice with AAV9-L2HGDH prior to TAC resulted in significantly reduced heart weight to tibia length ratios (HW/TL) and cardiomyocyte area. Importantly, heart function was notably improved in mice receiving gene therapy (ejection fraction, EF: 36.18±6.63%, fractional shortening, FS: 16.72±4.01%) whereas control animals showed marked decline in myocardial contractility (EF: 20.14±8.24%, FS: 12.66±6.66%).
Conclusion
L2-HG causes cardiomyocyte dysfunction by activating mTOR signaling pathway, a well-characterized critical inducer of myocyte hypertrophy, and enhancing macrophage migration, leading to establishment of a pro-inflammatory environment in the myocardium. Moreover, our results point out towards a novel preventive approach for cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure by cardiomyocyte-specific L2HGDH overexpression.

Abstract
The PHENIX collaboration presents first measurements of low-momentum (0.4<p_{T}<3 GeV/c) direct-photon yields from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=39 and 62.4 GeV. For both beam energies the direct-photon yields are substantially enhanced with respect to expectations from prompt processes, similar to the yields observed in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200. Analyzing the photon yield as a function of the experimental observable dN_{ch}/dη reveals that the low-momentum (>1 GeV/c) direct-photon yield dN_{γ}^{dir}/dη is a smooth function of dN_{ch}/dη and can be well described as proportional to (dN_{ch}/dη)^{α} with α≈1.25. This scaling behavior holds for a wide range of beam energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider, for centrality selected samples, as well as for different A+A collision systems. At a given beam energy, the scaling also holds for high p_{T} (>5 GeV/c), but when results from different collision energies are compared, an additional sqrt[s_{NN}]-dependent multiplicative factor is needed to describe the integrated-direct-photon yield.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of hnRNP E1 and both early genes E2 and E6 of HPV16 as well as their interactions in the progression of cervical carcinogenesis. Methods: Subjects of this study included 56 women with normal cervix (NC), 58 patients with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CINⅠ) and 50 patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CINⅡ/Ⅲ) who were all recruited from the 'Cervical Lesions Study Cohort Project' in Jiexiu of Shanxi province from June to September, 2014. Another 40 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were from the Shanxi Tumor Hospital during the same period. Information related to cervical lesions were collected, using a structured questionnaire, with cervical tissues and cervical exfoliated cells gathered from all the participants. HPV infection was detected by flow-through hybridization, while the levels of expression on hnRNP E1, HPV16 E2 and E6 protein were measured by Western Blot. Kruskal-Wallis H test, χ(2) test, trend χ(2) test were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 software, while interaction was evaluated by generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR). Results: The overall infection rates of HPV16 related to CINⅠ (15.52%, 9/58), CINⅡ/Ⅲ (40.00%, 20/50) and SCC (67.50%, 27/40) groups were all higher than that of the NC group (8.93%, 5/56) and with an increasing trend on the severity of cervical lesions (trend χ(2)=43.613, P<0.001). The levels of expression on hnRNP E1 protein were significantly different in the groups with different cervical lesions (H=9.98, P=0.019), showing a decreasing trend with the severity of cervical lesions (trend χ(2)=9.495, P=0.002). The levels of expression on HPV16 E2 (H=16.20, P=0.001) and HPV16 E6 (H=15.44, P=0.001) were significantly different in groups with different cervical lesions. Results of GMDR showed that the best interaction model in both groups of CINⅡ/Ⅲ and SCC appeared as hnRNP E1 low expression, HPV16 E2 low expression and HPV16 E6 high expression. However, no similar interaction was seen in CINⅠ (P>0.05). Conclusions: Both low expressions of hnRNP E1 and abnormal expression of HPV16 E2 and E6 could increase the risk of high-grade CIN and cervical cancer. It seemed that they might have an important synergistic effect on the progression of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of Src on cervical cancer cells through ERK signal transduction pathway. Methods: Experimental study was carried out in vitro. Cervical cancer cell lines Hela (HPV-positive) and C33A (HPV-negative) were treated with Src kinase inhibitor PP2. Then, the cell cycle and apoptosis of each group were evaluated by using flow cytometry (FCM). Western blotting and Real-time PCR were used to detect the levels of the expression of ERK 1/2, c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA and protein respectively. The database was established and analyzed with SPSS statistical software (version 20.0). Results: After down-regulating Src, the cell proliferation was inhibited and cell apoptosis was induced. The proportions of G0/G1 stage of Hela and C33A cell in cell cycle increased while G2/M and S stages decreased. Meanwhile, the mRNA levels of ERK 1, ERK 2, c-Fos and c-Jun increased. And the expression levels of ERK 1/2, phosphorylated ERK 1/2 (p-ERK 1/2) and phosphorylated c-Fos (p-c-Fos) protein decreased, while c-Jun and phosphorylated c-Jun (p-c-Jun) protein expression increased. In addtion, the change level of Hela cell, p-ERK 1/2 and c-Fos protein were lower than that of C33A cell before and after the Src inhibition. Conclusions: Src, involved in regulating the expression of key factors of the ERK signal transduction pathway including p-ERK 1/2 and p-c-Fos, might be capable of promoting the proliferation of cervical cancer cells and inhibiting their apoptosis. The infection with HPV might have adjustable effect on this process.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of vaginal micro-environment alterations and HPV16 infection and their interaction in the progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Methods: The participants of this study came from the cervical lesions study cohort in Shanxi province, including 623 women with normal cervical (NC), 303 patients with pathogenically diagnosed low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CINⅠ) and 93 patients with pathogenically diagnosed high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CINⅡ/Ⅲ). The data of the demographic characteristics of the study subjects and factors related to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were collected, and HPV16 infection were detected by using flow-through hybridization technology and H(2)O(2), β-glucuronidase, clotting enzyme, neuraminidase and leucocyte esterase in vaginal secretions were detected by using the combined detection kit of aerobic vaginitis and bacterial vaginosis. pH value and vaginal cleanliness were also detected at the same time. The database was established and analyzed by SPSS statistical software (version 22.0). Results: The HPV16 infection rate (trend χ(2)=55.45, P<0.001) and the abnormal rates of H(2)O(2) (trend χ(2)=26.19, P<0.001), pH (trend χ(2)=5.06, P=0.024), vaginal cleanliness (trend χ(2)=19.55, P<0.001), β-glucuronidase (trend χ(2)=17.52, P<0.001) and neuraminidase (trend χ(2)=14.90, P<0.001) increased gradually along with the severity of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, but the abnormal rates of clotting enzyme and leucocyte esterase showed no same trend. The results of GMDR model analysis showed that there was interaction between HPV16 infection and abnormalities of H(2)O(2), β-glucuronidase, clotting enzyme and neuraminidase in CINⅠ group, and the interaction between HPV16 infection and the abnormalities of vaginal cleanliness, H(2)O(2), β-glucuronidase and neuraminidase in CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ group. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that the vaginal micro-environment alterations and HPV16 infection could increase the risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and they might have an important synergistic effect in the progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is incurable. Although first-line endocrine therapy is preferred to hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HER2-) MBC, combination chemotherapy should be reserved as the initial treatment for patients with rapid clinical progression, life-threatening visceral metastases, and need for rapidly symptom control. Either prolonged chemotherapy or endocrine therapy may be used as maintenance after disease control. However, which maintenance strategy is superior in terms of delaying disease progression as well as maintaining quality of life (QOL) remains uncertain. This phase III trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of fulvestrant or capecitabine as maintenance therapy after first-line combined chemotherapy in HR+/HER2- MBC.
Trial Design: FAMILY is a multicenter, randomized, open-label phase III trial for HR+ and HER2- MBC. Eligible participants are randomized (1:1) to receive capecitabine (2000mg/m2 twice daily x 14 days followed by 7 days off) or fulvestrant (500mg Days 0, 14, 28, then every 28 days) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal. Stratification factor for randomization is sensitivity to adjuvant hormonal therapy (disease-free interval ≤24 months vs. >24 months).
Eligibility Criteria: Eligible patients must have HR+ (ER and/or PR>1%, by IHC) and HER2- MBC; achieved a complete or partial response or stable disease (investigator assessed) after 4-8 cycles of first-line combination chemotherapy. Patients with central nervous system metastasis and/or prior use of endocrine therapy for advanced breast cancer are excluded.
Specific Aims: The primary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints include overall survival, overall response rate, disease control rate, safety and QOL. A prospective translational research is also planned to assess the correlations between biomarkers and response.
Statistical Design: The planned sample size of 256 patients provides approximately 80% of power to detect a 6 months difference of PFS using a log-rank test with two-sided alpha of 0.05.
Target Accrual: Recruitment is ongoing. Up to 256 evaluable subjects will be enrolled within 24 months. (ChiCTR-IIR-17014036).

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) and its interaction with human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) on cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Methods: The participants included 67 women with normal cervix (NC), 69 women with CINⅠ and 68 women with CINⅡ/Ⅲ in a community cohort of pathologically diagnosed women established in Jiexiu of Shanxi province, from June 2014 to June 2015. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the demographic data of the subjects and the related factors of cervical lesions. Cervical exfoliated cells and cervical tissues from biopsy or surgery were selected. The infection status of HPV16 was detected by flow-through hybridization. The protein expression levels of hnRNP K were evaluated by Western blot. SPSS 23.0 software was used to collate and analyze the data. To study the differences in demographic characteristics, related factors, hnRNP K protein and HPV16 infection among NC, CINⅠand CINⅡ/Ⅲgroups, χ(2) test, trend χ(2) test, and Kruskal-Wallis H test were conducted. Multiple comparisons of hnRNP K protein in three groups were completed by using the Bonferroni method. The OR and its 95%CI of hnRNP K, HPV16 and CIN were calculated by using the unconditional logistic regression models. Two-way interactions between hnRNP K protein and HPV16 infection on CIN were analyzed by using additive model and related indicators. Results: HPV16 infection rates were 10.4% in women with normal cervix, 14.5% in women with CINⅠ and 41.2% in women with CINⅡ/Ⅲ, respectively. The differences among three groups were significant (P<0.001). Moreover, the infection rates of HPV16 gradually increased with the increasing severity of CIN (trend χ(2)=18.512, P<0.001). The differences in protein expression of hnRNP K among three groups were significant (H=48.138, P<0.001) and the expressionincreased with the development of cervical lesionss (trend χ(2)=21.765, P<0.001). Results from the interaction analysis indicated that there were additive effects between high expression of hnRNP K protein and HPV16 in CINⅡ/Ⅲ group compared with normal group (API=0.639, 95%CI: 0.083-1.196). In contrast, no such additive effect was found in CINⅠ group. Conclusions: HPV16 infection and over-expression of hnRNP K protein were associated with the increased risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. There might be interaction between hnRNP K protein overexpression and HPV16 infection existed on the progress of CINⅡ/Ⅲ.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the spectrum of causes for patients with vertigo or dizziness in the Department of Neurology, and provide a reference for diagnosis and treatment of patients with vertigo or dizziness. Methods: Clinical data of patients in the Department of Neurology, Baotou Central Hospital between January 2016 and September 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. The target group under study was diagnosed based on the uniform diagnostic criteria. Results: A total of 9 200 patients with a chief complaint of vertigo or dizziness were included. The ratio of male to female was 1∶1.8, with an age range of 19 to 85 years. The different etiology was as follows: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) (3 148 cases, 34.22%), persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) (2 006 cases, 21.80%), vertigo caused by cerebrovascular diseases (1 463 cases, 15.90%), vestibular neuritis (741 cases, 8.05%), vestibular migraine (536 cases, 5.83%), vestibular paroxysmia (336 cases, 3.65%), Ménière disease (187 cases, 2.03%), drug-induced vertigo (96 cases, 1.04%), neurological degenerative diseases (74 cases, 0.80%), sudden sensorineural hearing loss (51 cases, 0.55%), multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica (21 cases, 0.23%), other reasons (22 cases, 0.24%), unknown reasons (519 cases, 5.64%). Conclusions: Dizziness is resulted from various causes, and BPPV is the most common reason. Vertigo caused by cerebrovascular diseases appears to gradually increase along with age. PPPD is very common in clinical practice, so clinicians needs to be highly aware of BPPV and PPPD. Although those dizziness diseases have a low incidence, they should not be ignored. There are still certain proportion of vertigo patients whose diagnosis are undetermined.

Abstract
We aimed to describe the current state of specialist obesity services for adults with clinically severe obesity in public hospitals in Australia, and to analyse the gap in resources based on expert consensus. We conducted two surveys to collect information about current and required specialist obesity services and resources using open-ended questionnaires. Organizational level data were sought from clinician expert representatives of specialist obesity services across Australia in 2017. Fifteen of 16 representatives of current services in New South Wales (n = 8), Queensland (n = 1), Victoria (n = 2), South Australia (n = 3), and the Australian Capital Territory (n = 1) provided data. The composition of services varied substantially between hospitals, and patient access to services and effective treatments were limited by strict entry criteria (e.g. body mass index 40 kg/m2 or higher with specific complication/s), prolonged wait times, geographical location (major cities only) and out-of-pocket costs. Of these services, 47% had a multidisciplinary team (MDT), 53% had an exercise physiologist/physiotherapist, 53% had a bariatric surgeon and 33% had pharmacotherapy resources. Key gaps included staffing components of the MDT (psychologist, exercise physiologist/physiotherapist) and access to publicly funded weight loss pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery. There was consensus on the need for significant improvements in staff, physical infrastructure, access to services, education/training in obesity medicine and targeted research funding. Based on the small number of existing, often under-resourced specialist obesity services that are located only in a few major cities, the vast majority of Australians with clinically severe obesity cannot access the specialist evidence based treatments needed.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether CD137-CD137L signaling can affect the autophagy of mouse vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) through JNK signal pathway. Methods: Primary culture of C57BL/6J mouse thoracic aorta VSMCs was performed by tissue block adherence method. VSMCs between the third to fifth passages were isolated and cultured. VSMCs were divided into 4 groups: control group, CD137 agonist group, JNK inhibition group, and DMSO group. VSMCs in CD137 agonist group were treated with recombinant protein of CD137L (10 μg/ml), VSMCs in JNK inhibition group were treated with JNK inhibitor SP600125 (10 μmol/L) for 30 minutes followed by recombinant protein of CD137L (10 μg/ml) and DMSO group was treated with the same amount of DMSO in JNK inhibition group for 30 minutes, then added recombinant protein of CD137L (10 μg/ml). Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of p-JNK, LCⅡ and p62 in each group. Fluorescence microscopy was used to track the changes of autophagy in cells which was infected with adenovirus expressing tandem mRFP-GFP-LC3. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to observe intracellular autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Results: (1) Compared with the control group, stimulating CD137-CD137L axis by recombinant protein of CD137L significantly upregulated the expression of p-JNK, LCⅡ and p62 (1.15±0.19 vs. 0.72±0.21, P<0.05;1.03±0.13 vs. 0.59±0.15, P<0.05, and 1.10±0.19 vs. 0.76±0.15, P<0.05). These effects could be reduced by JNK inhibitor (0.61±0.21 vs. 1.15±0.19, P<0.05;0.74±0.11 vs. 1.03±0.13, P<0.05, and 0.21±0.12 vs. 1.10±0.19, P<0.05). The expression of these proteins in DMSO group remained unchanged compared with CD137 agonist group (P>0.05). (2) Changes of autophagy in cells of various group: the number of total fluorescent spots and yellow fluorescent spots in CD137 agonist group was significantly increased compared to control group (total fluorescent spots:(93.00±14.11)/cell vs. (52.33±9.61)/cell, P<0.05, and (64.33±6.81)/cell vs. (25.67±3.51)/cell, P<0.05), moreover, the number of yellow fluorescent spots was higher than the red fluorescent spots fluorescent spots in CD137 agonist group. Compared with CD137 agonist group, pretreatment with JNK inhibitor significantly reduced the number of total fluorescent spots and yellow fluorescent spots ((53.00±3.17)/cell vs. (93.00±14.11)/cell, P<0.05,and (15.33±4.51)/cell vs. (64.33±6.81)/cell, P<0.05). The red fluorescent spots were higher than the yellow fluorescent spots in JNK inhibition group. The number of total fluorescent spots and yellow fluorescent spots in CD137 agonist group was not affected by pretreatment with DMSO (P>0.05). (3) The number of intracellular autophagosomes and autolysosomes was significantly higher in CD137 agonist group than in control group((17.67±6.03)/cell vs. (5.67±2.52)/cell, P<0.05), and the number of autophagosomes was higher than that of autolysosomes in CD137 agonist group((14.00±4.00)/cell vs. (3.67±2.08)/cell, P<0.05). The number of intracellular autophagosomes and autolysosomes was significantly lower in JNK inhibition group compared to CD137 agonist group((5.67±4.04)/cell vs. (17.67±6.03)/cell, P<0.05) and the number of autophagosomes was lower than that of autolysosomes in JNK inhibition group((1.33±1.53)/cell vs. (4.33±2.52)/cell, P<0.05). The number of intracellular autophagosomes and autolysosomes was similar between DMSO group and CD137 agonist group (P>0.05). Conclusion: CD137-CD137L signal may influence autophagy of mouse VSMCs via JNK pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between abnormal expression of fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene and methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) as well as their interaction on cervical cancerization. Methods: A total of 73 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 113 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN Ⅰ, n=45; CINⅡ/Ⅲ, n=68) and 60 women with normal cervix (NC) were included in the study. Real time PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the expression levels of mRNA and protein about FHIT and MeCP2, respectively. The methylation status of FHIT gene CpG island was tested by methylation-specifc PCR (MSP). Kruskal-Wallis H test, χ(2) test, trend χ(2) test and Spearman correlation analysis were conducted with software SPSS 20.0. The interaction was evaluated by generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) model. Results: With the deterioration of cervical lesion, the methylation rates of FHIT gene CpG island (χ(2)=18.64, P<0.001; trend χ(2)=18.08, P<0.001) increased gradually, while the expression levels of FHIT mRNA (H=27.32, P<0.001; trend χ(2)=12.65, P<0.001) and protein (H=47.10, P<0.001; trend χ(2)=29.79, P<0.001) decreased gradually. There was a negative correlation between the methylation rates of FHIT gene CpG island and the expression level of FHIT protein (r=-0.226, P<0.001). The levels of MeCP2 mRNA (H=26.19, P<0.001; trend χ(2)=11.81, P=0.001) and protein (H=69.02, P<0.001; trend χ(2)=47.44, P<0.001) increased gradually with the aggravation of cervical lesions. There was a positive correlation between the expression level of MeCP2 protein and the FHIT mRNA Ct ratio (r=0.254, P<0.001). Expression of proteins were negatively correlated between MeCP2 and FHIT (r=-0.213, P=0.001). The results analyzed by GMDR model showed that there were interactions among high MeCP2 protein expression, the CpG island methylation of FHIT and mRNA and protein expression in CINⅡ/Ⅲ group, and among high MeCP2 mRNA and protein expression, the CpG island methylation of FHIT and low mRNA and protein expression in SCC group. Conclusion: High expression of MeCP2 mRNA and protein, the CpG island methylation and low mRNA and protein expression of FHIT could increase the risk of cervical carcinogenesis, and there might be a synergistic effect on cervical carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection and their interaction on the progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Methods: A total of 486 patients, including 208 women with normal cervix (NC), 154 patients with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CINⅠ), 124 patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CINⅡ/Ⅲ), were selected from the cervical lesions cohort from June to December, 2014. HR-HPV was detected by using flow-through hybridization technology and the urine concentration of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) was detected with high performance liquid chromatography. By using software SPSS 22.0, the χ(2) test, trend χ(2) test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Nemenyi rank test and Spearman rank correlation analysis were performed. And the interaction effects were evaluated by additive model. Results: The HR-HPV infection rates in NC, CINⅠ and CINⅡ/Ⅲ groups were 27.9%, 37.0% and 58.9%, respectively. The urine concentrations of 1-OHP (μmol/molCr) were 0.07±0.09, 0.11±0.10 and 0.17±0.15, respectively. With increasing severity of the cervical lesions, the HR-HPV infection rate gradually increased (trend χ(2)=29.89, P<0.001) and the high exposure rate of PAHs gradually increased (trend χ(2)=27.94, P<0.001). HR-HPV infection was positively correlated with 1-OHP exposure (r=0.680, P<0.001). There was a positive additive interaction between HPV infection and PAHs exposure in CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ group, but it was not found in CIN Ⅰ group. Conclusion: Both HR-HPV infection and high exposure of PAHs might increase the risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasm, and might have a synergistic effect on the progression of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic and molecular features of the rare cribriform morular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (CMV-PTC). Methods: The clinicopathologic data of 10 patients with CMV-PTC were retrospectively reviewed. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was done using LSAB method. DNA sequencing for APC were applied using Sanger method. BRAF V600E mutation was examined using ARMS method. The cytological, morphological, IHC and molecular features were analyzed. Results: All patients were female at an average age of 27 years old. The tumors were mostly located in the right lobe of thyroid. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed in three patients; two were diagnosed as suspicious for PTC and one as PTC. Nine tumors presented as solitary nodule and two as multiple nodules in both lobes. Infiltration was demonstrated in three cases. The average size was 2.6 cm. The neoplastic cells were arranged in papillary, cribriform, solid and glandular patterns, with rare or without colloid inside the lumen. The number of morula varied, ranging from zero to many. The neoplastic cells were variably enlarged, showing round, oval or spindle shape. Nuclear irregularity was identified as irregular membrane, nuclear grooves or pseudoinclusion, but no typical ground glass feature. Peculiar nuclear clearing could be observed in the morular cells. IHC staining showed the neoplastic cells were negative for thyroglobulin and p63, but positive for TTF1, cytokeratin 19 and estrogen receptor. Diffuse staining with cytokeratin was seen in the neoplastic cells and the morula. Specific cytoplasmic and nuclear staining of β-catenin was seen in the neoplastic cells but not the morula. Ki-67 proliferation index was 1%-30%. No recurrence or metastasis was observed. One patient was demonstrated to harbor both somatic and germline mutations of the APC gene, who was found to have adenomatous polyposis and her mother died of colonic carcinoma. No BRAF V600E mutation was detected. Conclusions: CMV-PTC is rare and shows atypical cytological and clinicopathological features, and it is easily misdiagnosed.TG, TTF1, ER and β-catenin are specific IHC markers for CMV-PTC. The morula is negative for cytokeratin 19, in contrast to squamous metaplasia. Although CMV-PTC has indolent clinical behavior, a definite diagnosis is necessary to rule out the possibility of APC gene mutation and related extra-thyroidal neoplasm, such as FAP and Gardner syndrome.

Abstract
Lymph node metastasis is a decisive factor for performing postoperative radiotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, whether OSCC patients with only micrometastasis need postoperative radiotherapy is unclear. In this study, OSCC patients (n = 311) with negative (n = 247), only micrometastasis (n = 44) and macrometastasis (n = 20) were detected and selected by HE staining. Micrometastasis was re-assessed using immunohistochemical staining of cytokeratin (CK) in HE-negative patients to find out the false negative cases. The results indicated that, among the negative lymph node cases (n = 247), the positive rate of CK was 4.94% (n = 12). Besides, the clinical features of the primary tumor in relation to the only micrometastatic status and the value of the postoperative radiotherapy on the only micrometastasis patients were evaluated. Patients with only micrometastasis had higher T stage and inferior worst pattern of invasion (WPOI) than patients without micrometastasis, but they had longer overall survival (OS), metastasis-free survival (MFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) than macrometastasis patients. However, the survival time of only micrometastasis patients with or without postoperative radiotherapy was comparable, even in patients with inferior WPOI. Radiotherapy, however, may only benefit patients with IV/V levels of micrometastasis. These data indicated that postoperative radiotherapy is dispensable for only micrometastasis OSCC patients.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Evidence suggests that vaccine-type human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence may decrease in unvaccinated women after HPV vaccine introduction, indicating herd protection. The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with vaccine-type HPV (i.e. absence of herd protection) after vaccine introduction. DESIGN We conducted three cross-sectional studies from 2006-2014 (n = 1180): wave 1 (2006-2007), wave 2 (2009-2010), and wave 3 (2013-2014). SETTING Participants were recruited from a hospital-based teen health center and a community health department. PARTICIPANTS We recruited 13-26 year-old young women; those included in this analysis had not received an HPV vaccine. INTERVENTIONS AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The outcome measure was infection with at least one vaccine-type HPV (HPV6, 11, 16, 18). RESULTS Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that in wave 1 (before vaccine introduction), history of anal intercourse (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.1-3.0), age 18-21 vs 13-17 years (OR = 2.1, CI = 1.2-3.6), and Black/multiracial vs White race (OR = 1.8, CI = 1.1-3.0) were associated with vaccine-type HPV in unvaccinated women. In wave 2, no variables were associated with HPV. In wave 3, sexually transmitted infection history (OR = 3.6, CI = 1.3-9.7) was associated with HPV. CONCLUSION We did not identify a consistent set of modifiable risk factors associated with vaccine-type HPV after vaccine introduction across the three study waves, underscoring the urgency of vaccination for primary HPV prevention and the limitations of relying on herd protection.

Abstract
Neoseiulus barkeri (HUGHES) is the natural enemy of spider mites, whiteflies and thrips. Screening for chemically-resistant predatory mites is a practical way to balance the contradiction between the pesticide using and biological control. In this study, the number of eggs laid by fenpropathrin-susceptible and resistant strains of N. barkeri was compared. Additionally, we cloned three N. barkeri vitellogenin (Vg) genes and used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to quantify Vg expression in susceptible and resistant strains. The total number of eggs significantly increased in the fenpropathrin-resistant strain. The full-length cDNA cloning of three N. barkeri Vg genes (NbVg1, NbVg2 and NbVg3) revealed that the open reading frames of NbVg1, NbVg2 and NbVg3 were 5571, 5532 and 4728 bp, encoding 1856, 1843 and 1575 amino acids, respectively. The three N. barkeri Vg possessed the Vitellogenin-N domain (or lipoprotein N-terminal domain (LPD_N)), von Willebrand factor type D domain (VWD) and the domain with unknown function 1943 (DUF1943). The NbVg1 and NbVg2 expression levels were significantly higher in the resistant strain than in the susceptible strain, while the NbVg3 expression level was lower in the resistant strain. Thus, we speculate that the increased number of eggs laid by the fenpropathrin-resistant strain of N. barkeri may be a consequence of changes in Vg gene expression.
