Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging is considered a key risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to identify and validate potential aging-related genes associated with AD using bioinformatics analysis. METHODS Datasets GSE36980 and GSE5281 were selected to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and the immune cell correlation analysis and GSEA analysis of DEGs were performed. The intersection with senescence genes was taken as differentially expressed senescence-related genes (DESRGs), and the GSE44770 dataset was used for further validation. The potential biological functions and signaling pathways were determined by GO and KEGG, and the hub genes were identified by 12 algorithms in Cytohubba. The expression of 10 hub genes in different brain regions was determined and single-cell sequencing analysis was performed, and diagnostic genes were further screened by gene expression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Finally, a miRNA-gene network of diagnostic genes was constructed and targeted drug prediction was performed. RESULTS A total of 2137 DEGs were screened from the GSE36980 and GSE5281 datasets, and 278 SRGs were identified from the CellAge database. The overlapping DEGs and SRGs constituted 29 DESRGs, including 14 senescence suppressor genes and 15 senescence inducible genes. The top 10 hub genes, including MDH1, CKB, PSMD14, SMARCA4, PEBP1, DDB2, ITPKB, ATF7IP, YAP1, and EWSR1 were screened. Furthermore, four diagnostic genes were identified: PMSD14, PEBP1, ITPKB, and ATF7IP. The ROC analysis showed that the respective area under the curves (AUCs) of PMSD14, PEBP1, ITPKB, and ATF7IP were 0.732, 0.701, 0.747, and 0.703 in the GSE36980 dataset and 0.870, 0.817, 0.902, and 0.834 in the GSE5281 dataset. In the GSE44770 dataset, PMSD14 (AUC, 0.838) and ITPKB (AUC, 0.952) had very high diagnostic values in the early stage of AD. Finally, based on these diagnostic genes, we found that the drug Abemaciclib is a targeted drug for the treatment of age-related AD. Flutamide can aggravate aging-related AD. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that cellular SRGs might play an important role in AD. PMSD14, PEBP1, ITPKB, and ATF7IP have the potential as specific biomarkers for the early diagnosis of AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential for greenness as a novel protective factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires further exploration. OBJECTIVES This study assesses prospectively and longitudinally the association between precision greenness - greenness measured at the micro-environmental level, defined as the Census block - and AD incidence. DESIGN Older adults living in consistently high greenness Census blocks across 2011 and 2016 were compared to those living in consistently low greenness blocks on AD incidence during 2012-2016. SETTING Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA. PARTICIPANTS 230,738 U.S. Medicare beneficiaries. MEASUREMENTS U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Chronic Condition Algorithm for AD based on ICD-9 codes, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, age, sex, race/ethnicity, neighborhood income, and walkability. RESULTS Older adults living in the consistently high greenness tertile, compared to those in the consistently low greenness tertile, had 16% lower odds of AD incidence (OR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.76-0.94, p=0.0014), adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and neighborhood income. Age, neighborhood income and walkability moderated greenness' relationship to odds of AD incidence, such that younger ages (65-74), lower-income, and non-car dependent neighborhoods may benefit most from high greenness. CONCLUSIONS High greenness, compared to low greenness, is associated with lower 5-year AD incidence. Residents who are younger and/or who reside in lower-income, walkable neighborhoods may benefit the most from high greenness. These findings suggest that consistently high greenness at the Census block-level, may be associated with reduced odds of AD incidence at a population level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a highly invasive malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. Traditional treatment methods have not been effective. However, advancements in targeted therapy and immunotherapy in recent years have shed new light on the management of ATC. The aim of this study was to examine the treatment plan and prognostic factors of ATC. METHODS This study conducted a retrospective analysis of ATC patients who received treatment at our institution between 2000 and 2023 to evaluate the clinical characteristics, treatment methods, and factors influencing survival. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan‒Meier method and log-rank test, and multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS The 6-month and 1-year disease-specific OS rates were 49% and 29%, respectively. The presence of clinical symptoms and the timing of treatment significantly impacted patient prognosis (P < 0.05). Compared with surgery + radiotherapy/chemotherapy and only surgery, targeted therapy and targeted + immunotherapy represented an improved overall survival, The 6-month/1-year survival rates of which were 81%/61% and 91%/73% (P < 0.05), respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that the symptoms at initial diagnosis, year of presentation, performance status and treatment plan were independent factors affecting the prognosis. The year of presentation (P = 0.048) and the treatment plan (P = 0.038) were significantly meaningful in predicting prognosis. CONCLUSION Targeted therapy and targeted+immune therapy can effectively prolong the survival period of ATC patients. Symptoms at initial diagnosis and treatment plan have a significant impact on the prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the surgical safety and postoperative quality of life between proximal gastrectomy with double tract reconstruction (PG-DT) and proximal gastrectomy with gastric tube reconstruction (PG-GT) for proximal gastric cancer. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of clinical and follow-up data of 99 patients with proximal gastric cancer who had undergone double tract or gastric tube surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2016 to September 2021. We allocated them to two groups according to surgical procedure, namely a double tract group (PG-DT, 50 patients) and gastric tube group (PG-GT, 49 patients). Proximal gastrectomy with double tract reconstruction entails constructing a Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy after severing the proximal stomach, and then constructing a side-to-side anastomosis between the residual stomach and the jejunum to establish an anti-reflux barrier and thus minimize postoperative gastroesophageal reflux. Proximal gastrectomy with gastric tube reconstruction entails severing the proximal gastric stomach, constructing a tubular shaped gastric remnant, and then using a linear stapler to directly anastomose the posterior wall of the esophagus to the anterior wall of the resultant gastric tube. The primary end point was the quality of life of the two groups 1 year postoperatively (post-gastrectomy syndrome assessment scale: the higher the scores for change in body mass, food intake per meal, meal quality subscale, total physical health measurement, and total mental health measurement, the better the quality-of-life, and the higher the scores for other indicators, the worse the quality-of-life). The secondary end points were intraoperative and postoperative status, changes in nutritional status 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, and long-term postoperative complications (gastroesophageal reflux, anastomotic stenosis, intestinal obstruction, and gastric emptying disorder 1 year postoperatively). Results: In the PG-DT group, there were 35 (70%) men and 15 (30%) women, 33 (66.0%) patients were aged <65 years, and 37 (74.0%) of them had a body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2; whereas in the PG-GT group, there were 41 (83.7%) men and eight (16.3%) women, 21 (42.9%) patients aged <65 years, and 34 (69.4%) patients with a body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2. There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups except for age (P=0.021). There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph node dissected, length of hospital stay, and incidence of perioperative complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the PG-GT group, the incidence and severity of postoperative reflux esophagitis were significantly lower in the PG-DT group (4.0% [2/50] vs. 26.5% [13/49], χ2=13.507, P=0.009). The incidences of postoperative anastomotic stenosis, intestinal obstruction, and gastric retention did not differ significantly between the two groups (all P>0.05). Patients in the PG-DT group had better quality-of-life scores for esophageal reflux (2.8 [2.3,4.0] vs. 4.8 [3.8,5.0], Z=3.489, P<0.001), eating discomfort (2.7 [1.7,3.0] vs. 3.3 [2.7,4.0 ], Z=3.393, P=0.001), and total symptoms (2.3 [1.7,2.7] vs. 2.5 [2.2,2.9], Z=2.243, P=0.025) than those in the gastric tube group; The scores for postoperative symptoms (2.0 [1.0,3.0] vs. 2.0 [2.0, 3.0], Z=2.127, P=0.033), meals consumed (2.0 [1.0, 2.0] vs. 2.0 [2.0, 3.0], Z=3.976, P<0.001), work (1.0 [1.0, 2.0] vs. 2.0 [1.0, 2.0], Z=2.279, P=0.023] and daily life (1.7 [1.3, 2.0] vs. 2.0 [2.0, 2.3], Z=3.950, P<0.001) were better in the PG-DT than the PG-GT group. Patients in the PG-GT group scored better than those in the PG-DT group for somatic symptoms, such as anal evacuation (3.0 [2.0, 4.0] vs. 3.5 [2.0, 5.0], Z=2.345, P=0.019). There were no significant differences in hemoglobin, serum albumin, serum total protein, or weight loss 1 year postoperatively between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions: The safety of double tract anastomosis for proximal gastric cancer is comparable to that of gastric tube surgery. Compared with gastric tube surgery, double tract anastomosis achieves less esophageal reflux and better quality of life, making it a preferable surgical procedure for proximal gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between preoperative aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and postoperative complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS All THA for osteoarthritis patients from 2007 to 2020 within the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database were included in this study. Subjects were subsequently divided into cohorts based on APRI. Four groups, including normal range, some liver damage, significant fibrosis, and cirrhosis groups, were created. Comparisons between groups were made for demographics, past medical history, and rate of major and minor complications. Other outcomes included readmission, reoperation, discharge destination, mortality, periprosthetic fracture, and postoperative hip dislocation. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the role of preoperative APRI in predicting adverse outcomes. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS In total, 104,633 primary THA patients were included in this study. Of these, 103,678 (99.1%) were in the normal APRI group, 444 (0.4%) had some liver damage, 256 (0.2%) had significant fibrosis, and 253 (0.2%) had cirrhosis. When controlling for demographics and relevant past medical history, the abnormal APRI groups had a significantly higher likelihood of major complication, minor complication, intraoperative or postoperative bleeding requiring transfusion, readmission, and non-home discharge (all p < 0.05) compared to normal APRI individuals. CONCLUSIONS Abnormal preoperative APRI is linked with an increasing number of adverse outcomes following THA for osteoarthritis for patients across the United States. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I.

Abstract
An E-band (60-90 GHz) multi-channel Doppler backscattering (DBS) system with X-mode polarization has been installed on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), which can measure the turbulence at five different radial locations simultaneously. This system can launch 31 fixed microwave frequencies in the range of 60-90 GHz with a 1 GHz interval into the plasma, and five probing signals are selected by employing a reference signal and multiple filters. During experiments, the frequency of the reference signal is tunable in the E-band, and the selected probing signals can be changed as needed without any other adjustments, which can be performed in one shot or between shots. Furthermore, the incident angle can be adjusted from -10° to 20°, and the wavenumber range is 4-25 cm-1 with a wavenumber resolution of Δk/k ≤ 0.35. Ray tracing simulations are employed to calculate the scattering locations and the perpendicular wavenumber. In this article, the hardware design, ray tracing, and initial results obtained from the EAST plasma will be presented.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal management of cervical lymph nodes in N0M0 maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma (MSSCC) remains a subject of debate. This study aimed to investigate the impact of elective neck dissection (END) on the prognosis of N0M0 MSSCC patients and explore potential prognostic factors. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to minimize bias between the END and non-END groups. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors, and subgroup analyses were conducted based on patient characteristics. Furthermore, the optimal number of lymph nodes in END was determined using maximally selected test statistics. RESULTS A total of 777 N0M0 MSSCC patients were included in the study. After PSM, patients who underwent END demonstrated significantly improved overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) compared to those who did not undergo END (p < 0.05). Subgroup analyses revealed a favorable prognosis for patients receiving radiotherapy and END, with a hazard ratio of 0.729 (95% CI: 0.549-0.967; p = 0.029) for OS. Furthermore, patients with a lymph node count greater than 5 in END had significantly better OS and CSS compared to those with 5 or fewer lymph nodes (p = 0.013, p = 0.018, respectively). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that END provides a survival benefit for N0M0 MSSCC patients. Additionally, a lymph node count greater than 5 in END is associated with improved staging accuracy and better prognosis. Prospective research is needed to validate these findings and inform clinical decision-making for N0M0 MSSCC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The recurrence rate of parotid gland cancer is high, but research on the prognosis of recurrent parotid gland cancer (RPC) is relatively limited. We aim to determine the potential prognosis factors of RPC. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING Tertiary cancer center. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review from 2012 to 2021 on RPC patients treated at the China National Cancer Center (CNCC). To analyze the impact of various variables on overall survival (OS) after recurrence, a univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was employed. RESULTS A total of 50/218 (23.0%) patients diagnosed with RPC and underwent surgery. The 5-year OS of all RPC patients in this cohort was 61.9%. 5 of 50 patients (10%) exhibited intraparotid node (IPN) metastasis. By univariate and multivariate analyses, we found that IPN metastasis was one of the prognostic factors of OS (p = 0.039) in RPC patients. The presence of IPN metastasis was also related to poor survival in individuals with negative cervical lymph nodes (CN0) (p = 0.011). In terms of the influence of surgical margins on prognosis, our findings revealed that RPC patients with negative margins exhibited a higher survival result than those with positive margins (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION According to this study, IPN metastasis indicate a high incidence of mortality in recurrent parotid cancer patients. Particularly, in CN0 patients, the presence of IPN metastasis was associated with poor survival in CN0 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of high-volume lymph node metastasis (LNM) and extranodal extension (ENE) greatly increases the risk of recurrence in patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). The goal of this research was to analyze the factors that contribute to high-risk lymph node metastasis in patients with low-risk PTMC. METHODS We analyzed the records of 7344 patients who were diagnosed with low-risk PTMC and treated at our center from January 2013 to June 2018.LNM with a high volume or ENE was classified as high-risk lymph node metastasis (hr-LNM). A logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the risk factors associated with hr-LNM. A nomogram was created and verified using risk factors obtained from LASSO regression analysis, to predict the likelihood of hr-LNM. RESULTS The rate of hr-LNM was 6.5%. LASSO regression revealed six variables that independently contribute to hr-LNM: sex, age, tumor size, tumor location, Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), and microscopic capsular invasion. A predictive nomogram was developed by integrating these risk factors, demonstrating its excellent performance. Upon analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for predicting hr-LNM, it was observed that the area under the curve (AUC) had a value of 0.745 and 0.730 in the training and testing groups showed strong agreement, affirming great reliability. CONCLUSION Sex, age, tumor size, tumor location, HT, and microscopic capsular invasion were determined to be key factors associated with hr-LNM in low-risk PTMC. Utilizing these factors, a nomogram was developed to evaluate the risk of hr-LNM in patients with low-risk PTMC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent studies reported the feasibility of quantifying a reliable infarct core (IC) volume using multiphase computed tomography (mCTA) based on deep learning, however its prognostic value was not fully clarified. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of mCTA-estimated IC volume in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent mCTA and MT for large vessel occlusion in middle cerebral artery and (or) internal carotid artery within 6 hours after symptom onset between January 2018 and November 2019. Patients were dichotomized into good (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score, 0-2) and poor (mRS, 3-6) outcome groups. mCTA-estimated IC volume were generated based on a multi-scale three-dimensional convolutional neural network. Univariate, multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to identify the independent variables, and evaluate their performances in predicting the clinical outcome. RESULTS Of 44 included patients, 27 (61.4%) patients achieved good outcome. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores at admission [NIHSSpre] (odds ratio [OR], 1.191; 95%confidence interval [CI], 1.028-1.379; P=0.020) and mCTA-estimated IC volume (OR, 1.076; 95%CI, 1.016-1.140; P=0.013) were found to be independently associated with functional outcome in patients with AIS after MT. After integrating NIHSSpre and mCTA-estimated IC volume, optimal performance (area under the ROC curve, 0.874; 95%CI, 0.739-0.954) could be obtained in predicting the clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS mCTA-estimated IC volume might be promising for predicting the prognosis, and assisting in making individualized treatment decision in patients with AIS.

Lin YB, Huang SH, Liu S. 2 years is a reasonable age cut-off level for prognostic assessment of children with hepatoblastoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to elucidate the prognostic significance of age in hepatoblastoma patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from 783 patients with hepatoblastoma were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2000-2018). The best age cut-off level was determined by X-tile, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). The results of the X-tile were verified by selecting the appropriate cut-off value to maximize the difference in survival outcomes at intervals of 1 year. The Cox regression model was used to determine the prognostic impact of risk factors and age. RESULTS X-tile analysis determined that 2 years was the best cut-off age for OS and CSS. The overall prognosis in the ≥ 2 years group was worse than that in the < 2 years group (OS: p = 0.00017; CSS: p < 0.0001). In Cox univariate analysis, when 2 years was used as the standard group, the numbers of patients in the two groups were similar, with high hazard ratio (HR) value and narrow 95% confidence interval (CI) (OS: HR, 1.834; 95% CI, 1.329 - 2.532; p < 0.001; CSS: HR, 1.988; 95% CI, 1.410 - 2.801; p < 0.001), which was consistent with the age cut-off point determined by X-tile. Cox multivariate analysis showed that age ≥ 2 years, black ethnicity, no surgery, no chemotherapy, distant metastasis, and tumor size ≥ 5 cm were independent predictors of poor OS and CSS. On subgroup analysis, patients aged ≥ 2 years had worse survival if they were Caucasian, had elevated alpha-fetoprotein, tumor size ≥ 5 cm, or distant metastasis. CONCLUSIONS Age is an important prognostic factor for hepatoblastoma. Age ≥ 2 years at diagnosis may predict poor prognosis and more active treatment measures can be implemented.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and lymph node metastasis (LNM) of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) remains poorly understood. We aimed to elucidate the impact of HT on PTMC and its association with LNM. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single cancer referral center. Patients diagnosed with PTMC and complete clinicopathological results between January 2013 and June 2018 were included. Propensity score matching (PSM) and logistic regression analysis were performed to evaluate the difference in LNM characteristics between patients with and without HT. RESULTS Among the 9929 PTMC patients, 2389 (24.1%) were pathologically diagnosed with HT. After PSM using variables including age, sex, primary tumor size, central neck dissection, extrathyroidal extension (ETE), gross ETE, multifocality and bilaterality, we identified 2324 pairs of patients for analysis. Patients with HT had a significantly lower incidence of LNM in the central neck (40.9% vs 56.2%, P < 0.001) and lateral neck (11.6% vs 14.2%, P = 0.016), a lower incidence of extranodal extension (ENE) (10.1% vs 17.0%, P < 0.001), fewer positive lymph nodes (median [IQR], 0 [0 to 2] vs 1 [0 to 3], P < 0.001), and a lower lymph node ratio (median [IQR], 0.00 [0.00 to 0.15] vs 0.12 [0.00 to 0.33], P < 0.001) than those without HT. Logistic regression analysis indicated that patients with HT had a significantly reduced risk of CLNM and LLNM compared to those without HT. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicated a negative association between HT and LNM in PTMC.

Abstract
The first observation and study of two new baryonic structures in the final state Ξ_{b}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} and the confirmation of the Ξ_{b}(6100)^{-} state in the Ξ_{b}^{-}π^{+}π^{-} decay mode are reported using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. In addition, the properties of the known Ξ_{b}^{*0}, Ξ_{b}^{'-} and Ξ_{b}^{*-} resonances are measured with improved precision. The new decay mode of the Ξ_{b}^{0} baryon to the Ξ_{c}^{+} π^{-} π^{+} π^{-} final state is observed and exploited for the first time in these measurements.

Precision Measurement of CP Violation in the Penguin-Mediated Decay B_{s}^{0}→ϕϕ. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 131:171802. [PMID: 37955501 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.131.171802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
A flavor-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of the decay B_{s}^{0}→ϕϕ is performed using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb^{-1}. The CP-violating phase and direct CP-violation parameter are measured to be ϕ_{s}^{ss[over ¯]s}=-0.042±0.075±0.009 rad and |λ|=1.004±0.030±0.009, respectively, assuming the same values for all polarization states of the ϕϕ system. In these results, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These parameters are also determined separately for each polarization state, showing no evidence for polarization dependence. The results are combined with previous LHCb measurements using pp collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, yielding ϕ_{s}^{ss[over ¯]s}=-0.074±0.069 rad and |λ|=1.009±0.030. This is the most precise study of time-dependent CP violation in a penguin-dominated B meson decay. The results are consistent with CP symmetry and with the standard model predictions.

Abstract
Purpose: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive cancer that often leads to poor prognosis, especially when it has metastasized. The prognostic significance of primary tumor surgery (PTS) for ACC with distant metastasis (DM) at the time of diagnosis has not been extensively studied. Methods: Using data from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database from 2010 to 2019, we identified patients with ACC in head and neck region and synchronous DM. We evaluated the effect of PTS on different patterns of metastasis using Kaplan-Meier analysis, log-rank tests, and multivariate Cox regression analysis to assess the therapeutic benefit of PTS in the overall cohort and various subgroups. Results: Of the 192 identified patients with synchronous metastatic ACC of head and neck, 91 (47.4%) underwent PTS. Patients who received PTS had significantly better survival than nonsurgical patients (median overall survival: 19 vs 43 months, P = .006). Cox regression analysis also showed that PTS was associated with improved survival (HR = .46, 95% CI: 0.42-0.88; P = .028). In sub-analyses, except for patients with liver metastases [overall survival (OS), P = .107, cancer-specific survival (CSS), P = .153], PTS consistently conferred significant survival benefits in patients with bone metastases (OS, P = .041, CSS, P = .065) and lung metastases (OS, P = .016, CSS, P = .027). PTS also led to better survival in patients who did not receive radiotherapy (median OS: 13 vs 52 months, P = .007). Conclusion: Our study suggests that PTS in metastatic ACC patients of head and neck improved overall and CSS, particularly in those with bone or lung metastases and those who did not receive radiotherapy. However, further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings, and the indications for PTS in metastatic ACC should be carefully evaluated by a multidisciplinary board.

Abstract
The branching fraction of the rare decay Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ(1520)μ^{+}μ^{-} is measured for the first time, in the squared dimuon mass intervals q^{2}, excluding the J/ψ and ψ(2S) regions. The data sample analyzed was collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. The result in the highest q^{2} interval, q^{2}>15.0 GeV^{2}/c^{4}, where theoretical predictions have the smallest model dependence, agrees with the predictions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kruppel-like factor 13 (KLF13) is a transcription factor and plays an important role in carcinogenesis. However, the significance of KLF13 in thyroid carcinoma (THCA) is underdetermined. In this study, we aimed to explore the clinical relevance and function of KLF13 in the progress of THCA. METHODS The expression of KLF13 in thyroid carcinoma and normal tissue was investigated by qPCR and IHC assay. The expression of KLF13 and IFIT1 in cell samples was investigated with Western blot assay. Cell proliferation ability was detected with CCK8 and colony formation assay. Cell growth in vivo with or without KLF13 overexpression was evaluated on a xenograft model. Cell migration ability was measured with Transwell assay. Cell cycle was detected with flow cytometer. The downstream genes of KLF13 were screened using RNA-seq assay. Luciferase activity was employed to assess the transcriptional regulation of KLF13 on IFIT1 promoter. RESULTS KLF13 expression was downregulated in THCA samples. KLF13 knockdown and overexpression promoted and inhibited the proliferation and migration of THCA cells, respectively. The RNA-seq, RT-qPCR and immunoblotting data showed that KLF13 knockdown significantly potentiated IFIT1 expression at both mRNA and protein levels. Luciferase assays showed that KLF13 suppressed the transcription activity of IFIT1 promoter. Besides, IFIT1 upregulation was critical for the proliferation and migration of THCA cell lines. Lastly, silencing of IFIT1 greatly reversed the proliferation and migration induced by KLF13 knockdown. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, KLF13 may function as an anti-tumor protein in THCA by regulating the expression of IFIT1 and offer a theoretical foundation for treating thyroid carcinoma.

Abstract
Rabies is one of the important zoonotic infectious diseases, with a mortality rate of almost 100%. Rabies is a vaccine preventable disease, and proper rabies exposure prophylaxis can effectively prevent the occurrence of human rabies. In recent years, there has been significant progress in clinical research on the rabies exposure prophylaxis both domestically and internationally. World Health Organization (WHO) released the Rabies Vaccine: WHO Position Paper-April 2018. In order to guide medical institutions of all levels in rabies exposure prophylaxis, the National Administration of Disease Prevention and Control, in conjunction with the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, organized the Rabies Vaccine Working Group of the National Immunization Program Technical Working Group and invited experts to revise and issue the National Regulation for the Rabies Exposure Prophylaxis (2023 Edition). This article compares the National Regulation for the Rabies Exposure Prophylaxis (2009 Edition) and interprets the updated key points and supporting basis of the new version of the guidelines to guide clinical application and implementation.

Abstract
Modified-release opioids are often prescribed for the management of moderate to severe acute pain following total hip and knee arthroplasty, despite recommendations against their use due to increasing concerns regarding harm. The primary objective of this multicentre study was to examine the impact of modified-release opioid use on the incidence of opioid-related adverse events compared with immediate-release opioid use, among adult inpatients following total hip or knee arthroplasty. Data for total hip and knee arthroplasty inpatients receiving an opioid analgesic for postoperative analgesia during hospitalisation were collected from electronic medical records of three tertiary metropolitan hospitals in Australia. The primary outcome was the incidence of opioid-related adverse events during hospital admission. Patients who received modified with or without immediate-release opioids were matched to those receiving immediate-release opioids only (1:1) using nearest neighbour propensity score matching with patient and clinical characteristics as covariates. This included total opioid dose received. In the matched cohorts, patients given modified-release opioids (n = 347) experienced a higher incidence of opioid-related adverse events overall, compared with those given immediate-release opioids only (20.5%, 71/347 vs. 12.7%, 44/347; difference in proportions 7.8% [95%CI 2.3-13.3%]). Modified-release opioid use was associated with an increased risk of harm when used for acute pain during hospitalisation after total hip or knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Comprehensive metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) for oligometastatic prostate cancer extended progression-free survival (PFS) and time to new lesion formation in the intermittent hormone therapy (HT) basket of EXTEND. To better understand the mechanism of MDT benefit, we pooled the intermittent and continuous HT baskets of EXTEND and tested the hypothesis that adding MDT to HT would program systemic T-cells to control micrometastatic disease. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 174 men were randomized to HT with or without MDT to up to 5 sites of metastases. HT was given for 6 months (intermittent basket, n = 87) or indefinitely (continuous basket, n = 87). Peripheral blood samples were drawn at enrollment, at the end of MDT, at 3 months follow-up (3 mo F/U), and at progression and then analyzed by flow cytometry, T-cell receptor (TCR)-β CDR3 variable region sequencing, multiplex cytokine profiling, and next-generation circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing. TCR clonal expansion was determined using a published betabinomial model. Repertoire changes were assessed by Morisita's index, and dominant TCR repertoire motifs were characterized with ImmunoMap. Associations between blood markers and PFS were evaluated with Cox regression adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) accounting for randomization arm and stratifying for intermittent vs continuous HT. RESULTS Randomization to MDT+HT was associated with T-cell activation, proliferation, and clonal expansion. This response was first observed at end-MDT as upregulated expression of T-cell activation and inhibition markers (i.e., ICOS, Tim-3, and LAG-3) and increases in highly proliferative CD4+ and CD8+ Ki67hi T-cells (all P<0.05). TCR sequencing of 7,678,911 T-cells revealed that MDT+HT was associated with TCR clonal expansion, remodeling of the TCR repertoire, and changes in dominant TCR motifs at end-MDT and 3 mo F/U (all P<0.05). Observed T-cell priming could be driven by signaling networks of canonical T-cell stimulatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-12, and IL-15), which were upregulated at end-MDT and persisted at 3 mo F/U (all P<0.05). This modulation of T-cell phenotype, clonotype, and cytokine concentrations was not observed in the HT-monotherapy arm. At end-MDT, systemic T-cell responses were associated with improved PFS, most notably CD8+ T-cell expression of LAG-3 (aHR 0.22, 95% CI 0.03-0.91) and high TCR clonal expansion (aHR 0.13, 95% CI 0.02-0.52). High ctDNA burden at end-MDT correlated with worse PFS (aHR 1.41, 95% CI 1.04-2.54), as did CD8+ T-cell expression of inhibitory receptor TIGIT at 3 mo F/U (aHR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.06). CONCLUSION The addition of MDT to HT induced systemic T-cell activation and expansion, which was not observed in the HT-only arm. This systemic immune response was independently associated with improved PFS. In addition to cytoreduction of macroscopic disease, MDT-induced immune education may be an important complementary mechanism of micrometastatic control in oligometastatic prostate cancer.
