Bai S, Song D, Chen M, Lai X, Xu J, Dong F. The association between mammographic density and breast cancer molecular subtypes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Radiol 2023; 78:622-632. [PMID: 37230842 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2023.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
AIM To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the whether high mammographic density (MD) is differentially associated with all subtypes of breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched systematically in October 2022 to include all studies that investigated the association between MD and breast cancer subtype. Aggregate data of 17,193 breast cancer cases from 23 studies were selected, including five cohort/case-control and 18 case-only studies. The relative risk (RR) of MD were combined using random/fixed effects models for case-control studies, and for case-only studies, relative risk ratios (RRRs) were a combination of luminal A, luminal B, and HER2-positive versus triple-negative tumours. RESULTS Women in the highest density category in case-control/cohort studies had a 2.24-fold (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.53, 3.28), 1.81-fold (95% CI 1.15, 2.85), 1.44-fold (95% CI 1.14, 1.81), and 1.59-fold (95% CI 0.89, 2.85) higher risk of triple-negative, HER-2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) positive, luminal A, and luminal B breast cancer compared to women in the lowest density category. RRRs for breast tumours being luminal A, luminal B, and HER-2 positive versus triple-negative in case-only studies were 1.62 (95% CI 1.14, 2.31), 1.81 (95% CI 1.22, 2.71) and 2.58 (95% CI 1.63, 4.08), respectively, for BIRADS 4 versus BIRADS 1. CONCLUSION The evidence indicates MD is a potent risk factor for the majority of breast cancer subtypes to different degrees. Increased MD is more strongly linked to HER-2-positive cancers compared to other breast cancer subtypes. The application of MD as a subtype-specific risk marker may facilitate the creation of personalised risk prediction models and screening procedures.

Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT-based radiomics signature for predicting hypoxia-inducible factor 1α expression in retroperitoneal sarcoma. Clin Radiol 2023; 78:e543-e551. [PMID: 37080804 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2023.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023]
Abstract
AIM To develop and test a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT)-based radiomics signature (RS) to preoperatively predict hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) expression in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 129 patients with RPS retrospectively who underwent CECT, including 64 male and 65 female patients (55 [2-84] years). Participants were divided into a training set comprising 85 patients and a test set comprising 44 patients. Clinical data and CECT findings of all patients were collected. RS construction was performed by the minimum redundancy maximum relevance method and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm. The clinical information was analysed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The RS and risk factors were included to build a radiomics nomogram. The predictive efficacy of different models was evaluated by accuracy, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis. RESULTS The RS combined signature was constructed on the basis of multi-phase CECT and had an accuracy of 0.795 and an AUC of 0.719 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.552-0.886) in the test set, which were higher than that of the radiomics nomogram (accuracy: 0.636; AUC: 0.702 [95% CI, 0.547-0.857]) and the clinical model (accuracy: 0.682; AUC: 0.486 [95% CI, 0.324-0.647]). The decision curve analysis showed that the RS combined signature provided better clinical application than the clinical model and radiomics nomogram. CONCLUSIONS The multi-phase CECT-based RS constructed can be used as a powerful tool for predicting HIF-1α expression in patients with RPS.

Abstract
A combined amplitude analysis is performed for the decays B^{0}→D[over ¯]^{0}D_{s}^{+}π^{-} and B^{+}→D^{-}D_{s}^{+}π^{+}, which are related by isospin symmetry. The analysis is based on data collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The full data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. Two new resonant states with masses of 2.908±0.011±0.020 GeV and widths of 0.136±0.023±0.013 GeV are observed, which decay to D_{s}^{+}π^{+} and D_{s}^{+}π^{-} respectively. The former state indicates the first observation of a doubly charged open-charm tetraquark state with minimal quark content [cs[over ¯]ud[over ¯]], and the latter state is a neutral tetraquark composed of [cs[over ¯]u[over ¯]d] quarks. Both states are found to have spin-parity of 0^{+}, and their resonant parameters are consistent with each other, which suggests that they belong to an isospin triplet.

Search for Rare Decays of D^{0} Mesons into Two Muons. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 131:041804. [PMID: 37566853 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.131.041804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
A search for the very rare D^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-} decay is performed using data collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. The search is optimized for D^{0} mesons from D^{*+}→D^{0}π^{+} decays but is also sensitive to D^{0} mesons from other sources. No evidence for an excess of events over the expected background is observed. An upper limit on the branching fraction of this decay is set at B(D^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-})<3.1×10^{-9} at a 90% C.L. This represents the world's most stringent limit, constraining models of physics beyond the standard model.

Abstract
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. This Letter reports results from LUX-ZEPLIN's first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with an exposure of 60 live days using a fiducial mass of 5.5 t. A profile-likelihood ratio analysis shows the data to be consistent with a background-only hypothesis, setting new limits on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon, spin-dependent WIMP-neutron, and spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross sections for WIMP masses above 9 GeV/c^{2}. The most stringent limit is set for spin-independent scattering at 36 GeV/c^{2}, rejecting cross sections above 9.2×10^{-48} cm at the 90% confidence level.

Abstract
An amplitude analysis of B^{-}→J/ψΛp[over ¯] decays is performed using 4400 signal candidates selected on a data sample of pp collisions recorded at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. A narrow resonance in the J/ψΛ system, consistent with a pentaquark candidate with strangeness, is observed with high significance. The mass and the width of this new state are measured to be 4338.2±0.7±0.4 MeV and 7.0±1.2±1.3 MeV, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The spin is determined to be 1/2 and negative parity is preferred. Because of the small Q-value of the reaction, the most precise single measurement of the B^{-} mass to date, 5279.44±0.05±0.07 MeV, is obtained.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the occurrence of recompensation conditions in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis after entecavir antiviral therapy. Methods: Patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis with ascites as the initial manifestation were prospectively enrolled. Patients who received entecavir treatment for 120 weeks and were followed up every 24 weeks (including clinical endpoint events, hematological and imaging indicators, and others) were calculated for recompensation rates according to the Baveno VII criteria. Measurement data were compared using the Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test between groups. Categorical data were compared by the χ (2) test or Fisher's exact probability method between groups. Results: 283 of the 320 enrolled cases completed the 120-week follow-up, and 92.2% (261/283) achieved a virological response (HBV DNA 20 IU/ml). Child-Pugh and MELD scores were significantly improved after treatment (8.33 ± 1.90 vs. 5.77 ± 1.37, t = 12.70, P < 0.001; 13.37 ± 4.44 vs. 10.45 ± 4.58, t = 5.963, P < 0.001). During the 120-week follow-up period, 14 cases died, two received liver transplants, 19 developed hepatocellular cancer, 11 developed gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, and four developed hepatic encephalopathy. 60.4% (171/283) (no decompensation events occurred for 12 months) and 56.2% (159/283) (no decompensation events occurred for 12 months and improved liver function) of the patients had achieved clinical recompensation within 120 weeks. Patients with baseline MELD scores > 15 after active antiviral therapy achieved higher recompensation than patients with baseline MELD scores ≤15 [50/74 (67.6%) vs. 109/209 (52.2%), χ (2) = 5.275, P = 0.029]. Conclusion: Antiviral therapy can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis. The majority of patients (56.2%) had achieved recompensation. Patients with severe disease did not have a lower probability of recompensation at baseline than other patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the performance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance mutation detection kit (InnowaveDX MTB/RIF, referred to as "InnowaveDX") in diagnosing tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance using sputum samples. Methods: From June 19, 2020 to May 16, 2022, patients with suspected tuberculosis were prospectively and consecutively enrolled in Hunan Provincial Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Institute, Henan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases and Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. A total of 1 328 patients with suspected tuberculosis were finally included. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1 035 pulmonary tuberculosis patients (357 were confirmed tuberculosis cases and 678 were clinically diagnosed tuberculosis cases) and 180 non-tuberculosis patients were finally included. Sputum samples were collected from all patients for routine sputum smear acid-fastness tests, mycobacterial culture and drug susceptibility testing. Moreover, the diagnostic value of Xpert®MTB/RIF (referred to as "Xpert") and InnowaveDXin detecting tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance was evaluated. Clinical diagnosis and culture results of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were used as reference standards to assess tuberculosis diagnosis, and phenotypic drug sensitivity and Xpert were used as reference standards to assess rifampicin resistance. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the two methods for tuberculosis diagnosis and rifampicin resistance were analyzed. The consistency of the two techniques was analyzed usingkappa test. Results: Taking clinical diagnosis as the reference standard, the detection sensitivity of InnowaveDX [58.0% (600/1 035)] was higher than that of Xpert [51.7% (535/1 035)] in 1035 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). In 270 pulmonary tuberculosis patients with culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis identified as M.tuberculosis-complex, the positive rates of InnowaveDX and Xpert were both high [99.6%(269/270)and 98.2%(265/270), respectively] and there was no statistical difference. In culture-negative patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, the sensitivity of InnowaveDX was 38.8% (198/511), which was higher than that of Xpert (29.4%, 150/511), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Taking phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing (DST) as reference, the sensitivity of InnowaveDX to rifampicin resistance was 99.0% (95%CI: 94.7%-100.0%) and the specificity was 94.0%(95%CI: 88.5%-97.4%). With Xpert as the reference, the sensitivity and specificity of InnowaveDX were 97.1% (95%CI: 93.4%-99.1%) and 99.7% (95%CI: 98.4%-100.0%), respectively, and the kappa value was 0.97 (P<0.001). Conclusions: InnowaveDX show a high sensitivity for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis, especially in pulmonary tuberculosis patients with a clinical diagnosis and negative culture results. It also showed high sensitivity in detecting rifampicin resistance with DST and Xpert as reference respectively. InnowaveDX is an early and accurate diagnostic tool for TB and drug-resistant TB, particularly suitable for application in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract
With the improvement of nonsurgical treatment in pancreatic cancer, the increasing accuracy of subclassification of anatomy, and the continuous refinement of surgical resection techniques, more and more locally advanced pancreatic cancer(LAPC) patients have the opportunity to undergo conversion surgery and achieve survival benefits,which has attracted the attention of scholars in this field. Despite the numerous prospective clinical studies conducted, there is still a lack of high-level evidence-based medical evidence in terms of conversion treatment strategies, efficacy evaluation, surgical timing and survival prognosis, and there are not yet specific quantitative standards and guiding principles for conversion treatment for these patients in clinical practice, and the indications for surgical resection rely more on the experience of each center or surgeon, lacking consistency. Therefore,the indicators for the evaluation of the efficacy of conversion treatment in patients with LAPC were summarized to reflect on the different modes of conversion treatment and clinical outcomes currently being explored, expecting to provide more accurate recommendations and guidance for the clinic.

Development of the first PCR for detection of Psoroptes ovis var. cuniculi infection and its comparison to microscopic examination and serological assay in rabbits. Vet Parasitol 2023; 320:109979. [PMID: 37393884 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetpar.2023.109979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
Psoroptes mites are the common ecto-parasites of wild and domestic animals worldwide, which causes considerable economic losses in livestock industry. Microscopy is deemed to be the 'gold standard' for the diagnosis of Psoroptes mite infection but it has poor sensitivity for low mite infections and/or sub-clinical infections. To overcome these shortcomings, we screened four genes to develop a sensitive and specific PCR for the detection of Psoroptes mite infection in rabbits, and confirmed its practicability in detecting early infection and monitoring treatment outcome with traditional microscopy and serological tests. Results showed that PCR assay targeting ITS2 (ITS2-PCR) had a high specificity and sensitivity (detection limit: 40.3 pg/μL DNA) for detecting P. ovis DNA. In rabbits artificially infected with P. ovis, all three diagnostic tests showed the same detection rate from 14 days post infection (dpi) to 42 days dpi. However, these diagnostic tests behave differently at 7 dpi and after treatment: at 7 dpi, the detection rate of ITS2-PCR was higher than rPsoSP3-based iELISA and traditional microscopy (ITS2-PCR: 88.9%, rPsoSP3-iELISA: 77.7%, microscopy: 33.3%); at 7 days post treatment (dpt), positivity rates of ITS2-PCR and microscopy rapidly decreased to 0.00% and 11.1%, whereas rPsoSP3-iELISA remained 100% positive rate. Furthermore, the comprehensive comparisons of diagnostic performance and features of three diagnostic tests at 7 dpi were performed. Compared to ITS2-PCR or rPsoSP3-iELISA, microscopy had the lowest sensitivity, and the agreement between these assays was low (κ < 0.3). Field study showed that ITS2-PCR showed a higher detection rate than microscopy (19.4% and 11.1%, respectively). Our results suggested that the ITS2-PCR developed in this study provided a new laboratory tool for diagnosis of P. ovis var. cuniculi infection, and it had advantages over microscopic examination in detection low-level mite infections and serological assay in monitoring treatment outcome.

Abstract
This report presented the endemic status of schistosomiasis and analyzed the data collected from the national schistosomiasis prevention and control system and national schistosomiasis surveillance program in the People's Republic of China in 2022. Among the 12 provinces (municipality and autonomous region) endemic for schistosomiasis, Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, Guangdong Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region continued to maintain the achievements of schistosomiasis elimination, and Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces maintained the criteria of transmission interruption, while Yunnan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces maintained the criteria of transmission control by the end of 2022. A total of 452 counties (cites, districts) were found to be endemic for schistosomiasis in China in 2022, with 27 434 endemic villages covering 73 424 400 people at risk of infections. Among the 452 endemic counties (cities, districts), 75.89% (343/452), 23.45% (106/452) and 0.66% (3/452) achieved the criteria of elimination, transmission interruption and transmission control of schistosomiasis, respectively. In 2022, 4 317 356 individuals received serological tests for schistosomiasis, and 62 228 were sero-positive. A total of 208 646 individuals received stool examinations for schistosomiasis, with one positive and another two cases positive for urine microscopy, and these three 3 cases were imported schistosomiasis patients from Africa. There were 28 565 cases with advanced schistosomiasis documented in China by the end of 2022. Oncomelania hupensis snail survey was performed in 18 891 endemic villages in China in 2022 and O. hupensis snails were found in 6 917 villages (36.62% of all surveyed villages), with 8 villages identified with emerging snail habitats. Snail survey was performed at an area of 655 703.01 hm2 and 183 888.60 hm2 snail habitats were found, including 110.58 hm2 emerging snail habitats and 844.35 hm2 re-emerging snail habitats. There were 477 200 bovines raised in the schistosomiasis endemic areas of China in 2022, and 113 946 bovines received serological examinations for schistosomiasis, with 204 sero-positives detected. Among the 131 715 bovines received stool examinations, no positives were identified. In 2022, there were 19 726 schistosomiasis patients receiving praziquantel chemotherapy, and expanded chemotherapy was performed in 714 465 person-time for humans and 234 737 herd-time for bovines in China. In 2022, snail control with chemical treatment was performed at an area of 119 134.07 hm2, and the actual area of chemical treatment was 65 825.27 hm2, while environmental improvements were performed at an area of 1 163.96 hm2. Data from the national schistosomiasis surveillance program of China showed that the mean prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infections was both zero in humans and bovines in 2022, and no S. japonicum infection was detected in O. hupensis snails. These data demonstrated that the endemic status of schistosomiasis continued to decline in China in 2022, with 3 confirmed schistosomiasis patients that had a foreign nationality and all imported from Africa, and the areas of snail habitats remained high. Further improvements in the construction of the schistosomaisis surveillance and forecast system, and reinforcement of O. hupensis survey and control are required to prevent the re-emerging schistosomiasis.

Abstract
Obtaining a high quality factor (Q factor) in applications based on metasurfaces is crucial for improving device performance. Therefore, bound states in the continuum (BICs) with ultra-high Q factors are expected to have many exciting applications in photonics. Breaking the structure symmetry has been viewed as an effective way of exciting quasi-bound states in the continuum (QBICs) and generating high-Q resonances. Among these, one exciting strategy is based on the hybridization of surface lattice resonances (SLRs). In this study, we investigated for the first time the Toroidal dipole bound states in the continuum (TD-BICs) based on the hybridization of Mie surface lattice resonances (SLRs) in an array. The unit cell of metasurface is made of a silicon nanorods dimer. The Q factor of QBICs can be precisely adjusted by changing the position of two nanorods, while the resonance wavelength remains quite stable against the change of position. Simultaneously, the far-field radiation and near-field distribution of the resonance are discussed. The results indicate that the toroidal dipole dominates this type of QBIC. Our results indicate that this quasi-BIC can be tuned by adjusting the size of the nanorods or the lattice period. Meanwhile, through the study of the shape variation, we found that this quasi-BIC exhibits excellent robustness, whether in the case of two symmetric or asymmetric nanoscale structures. This will also provide large fabrication tolerance for the fabrication of devices. Our research results will improve the mode analysis of surface lattice resonance hybridization, and may find promising applications in enhancing light-matter interaction, such as lasing, sensing, strong-coupling, and nonlinear harmonic generation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the baseline data characteristic, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphisms, and panel reactive antibody (PRA) in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients awaiting kidney transplantation in Southwest China. METHODS HLA genotyping was performed using the real-time PCR sequence-specific primer. PRA was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The patients' medical records were extracted from the hospital information database. RESULTS A total of 281 kidney transplant candidates with ESKD were analyzed. The average age was 35.7 ± 13.8 years. There were 61.6% patients had hypertension, 40.2% patients had dialysis ≥ 3 times per week, 47.3% patients had moderate or severe anemia, 30.2% patients with albumin < 35 g/L, 49.1% patients had serum ferritin < 200 ng/mL, 40.5% patients had serum calcium in target range (2.23 - 2.80 mmol/L), 43.4% patients had serum phosphate in target range (1.45 - 2.10 mmol/L), and 93.6% patients with parathyroid hormone > 88.00 pg/mL. In total, 15 HLA-A, 28 HLA-B, 15 HLA-DRB1, and 8 HLA-DQB1 allelic groups were identified. The most frequent alleles for each locus were HLA-A*02 (33.63%), HLA-B*46 (14.41%), HLA-DRB1*15 (21.89%), and HLA-DQB1*05 (39.50%). The most frequent haplotypes were HLA-A*33-B*58-DRB1*17-DQB1*02. A total of 9.60% of patients tested positive for PRAs - Class I or Class II. CONCLUSIONS The data from this study provide some new insights into baseline data, the distribution of HLA polymorphisms, and PRA results in the population of Southwest China. This is of great significance in this region, and indeed in the country as a whole, in comparison with other populations and in the process of organ transplant allocation.

Abstract
To analyze the clinical, endoscopic and pathological feature of gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type (GA-FG) (18 cases) collected from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, affiliated with Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 2019 to July 2022. There were 18 cases of patient of GA-FG, including male 12 cases, female 6 cases, aged from 38 to 78 years old, with average age of 60.5 years old. Gastroscopy showed that bulging or flat lesions of gastric fundus were 0.2-5.5 cm in size, and the mucosal surface was smooth, redness or rough. Histologic examination showed that tumor cells were dominated by chief cells and scattered with a few oxyntic cells, formed a complex gland that anastomoses each other, and infiltrated to the submucosa. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that tumor cells were positive for the expression of mucin-6 (MUC6) and Pepsinogen 1, and partial expression of synaptophysin (Syn). GA-FG is a rare type of gastric adenocarcinoma with good differentiation, and currently only a few cases have been reported, and often easily been misdiagnosed or missed. Therefore, to master the characteristics of clinic and pathology is helpful to improve the ability of clinical pathologists in differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective: To establish correction model of the sampling time error on the blood trough concentration of tacrolimus in non-sustained-release dosage form for renal transplant recipient and improve the accuracy of drug dose assessment and clinical adjustment in renal transplant recipients. Methods: Visit records of 206 outpatients in the Department of Transplantation, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were retrospectively collected from October 15, 2022 to October 30, 2022. The distribution of sampling time of tacrolimus blood drug concentration was described and the time range of correction was determined. Twenty inpatients after renal transplantation in the Department of Transplantation, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from October 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022 were prospectively included, and their demography data, laboratory test results during follow-ups, and CYP3A5 genotype were collected. The patients took tacrolimus in non-sustained-release dosage form every 12 h starting from 19∶30 on the day of admission. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients on the second day of admission at 7∶30 and on the third day at 6∶00-10∶00 every 30 minutes to test the blood concentration of tacrolimus. Using the collection time as the independent variable and the blood tacrolimus concentration as the dependent variable, a simple linear regression was performed to fitting a linear model of tacrolimus blood concentration-sampling time. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the influencing factors of the tacrolimus metabolic rate within a specific period and generate the regression equation. Results: The 206 outpatients aged (46±13) years, including 131 males (63.6%). The time gap [M (Q1, Q3)] between the sampling time of the follow-up outpatients and standard C12 was 24 (13.0, 46.5) min, and the maximum time gap was 135 min. The 20 enrolled inpatients aged (45±12) years, including 15 males (75.0%). There was no significant difference in the blood concentration of tacrolimus collected at 7∶30 on the second (7.87±2.21)ng/ml and third days (7.84±2.33)ng/ml after admission of the enrolled inpatients (P=0.917), and the blood tacrolimus concentration rhythm was stable in the trial. The plasma concentration of C10.5-C14.5 was linearly related to the time, with R2 [M (Q1, Q3)] 0.88 (0.85, 0.92) and all P<0.05. The metabolic rate of tacrolimus during C10.5-C14.5=0.984+0.090×basic concentration of tacrolimus (ng/ml)-0.036×body mass index+0.489×CYP3A5 genotype-0.007×hemolobin(g/L)-0.035×alanine aminotransferase (U/L)+0.143×total cholesterol (mmol/L)+0.027×total bilirubin (μmol/L), with R2=0.85. Conclusion: This study propose a correction model for tacrolimus (non-sustained-release dosage form) trough concentration around C12, which is helpful for clinicians to easily and accurately assess renal transplant recipients' tacrolimus exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate ecological isolation between Oncomelania hupensis snail populations in hilly regions and marshland and lake regions in Yuanjiang valley, Changde City, Hunan Province, and to unravel its underlying mechanisms. METHODS Taoyuan County, Shimen County, Linli County and Lixian County in Changde City were selected as snail sampling sites in hilly regions, and Lixian County, Jinshi City, West Lake Administration District, Hanshou County and Dingcheng District were selected as snail sampling sites in marshland and lake areas. Cytochrome C oxidase 1 (cox 1) gene was amplified in snail samples and sequenced. The genetic sequences of O. hupensis snails were aligned using the software MEGA 11, and the haplotypes of O. hupensis snails were determined using the software DNASP 5.10.01. The phylogenetic tree was generated using Bayesian inference with the software MrBayes 3.2, and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) was performed to analyze the source of genetic divergence and estimate the genetic divergence index (FST) among snail populations with the software Arlequin 3.5.2.2. The genetic barrier among 11 O. hupensis snail populations was estimated using the Monmonier algorithm of adegenet toolkit in R package. The settings with "land in winter and water in summer" in the Yuanjian River section were divided into two categories according to the upstream and downstream, and the areas with "land in winter and water in summer" in the upstream and downstream were transformed into raster data, and then loaded into the software Fragstats 4 for analysis of landscape indicators. The trends in changes of digital elevation were extracted from the Yuanjiang River section based on the digital elevation model, and made three-dimensional visualization using the R package. RESULTS The mitochondrial cox 1 gene were amplified in 165 O. hupensis snais from 11 sampling sites and sequenced, and a total of 152 valid gene sequences were obtained, with 46 haplotypes or 9 populations determined. No haplotype was shared in snails between Taoyuan County and Dingcheng District and Hanshou County along the downstream of the Yuanjiang River. The total area of settings with "land in winter and water in summer" was 617.66 hm2 in the upsteram of the Yuanjiang River, which consisted of 473 patches, with each patch measuring 1.31 hm2, the largest area index of 0.735 2, the landscape division index of 0.999 9, and the landscape shape index of 45.293 7. The total area of settings with "land in winter and water in summer" was 9 956.92 hm2 in the downstream of the Yuanjiang River, which consisted of 771 patches, with each patch measuring 12.91 hm2, the largest area index of 97.839 9, the landscape division index of 0.042 7, and the landscape shape index of 7.249 6. The area of settings with "land in winter and water in summer" was much larger in the downstream than that in the upstream of the Yuanjiang River, and the stronger landscape connectivity and non-remarkable alteration of riverbed elevation provided suitable habitats for snail breeding. CONCLUSIONS The hydrological and environmental characteristics of the upstream of the Yuanjiang River restrain the breeding and spread of O. hupensis, resulting in ecological isolation between Oncomelania hupensis in Taoyuan County and those in the downstream of Yuanjiang River.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the variation of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism under mechanical ventilation. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cases of high-risk pulmonary embolism who underwent intravenous thrombolysis in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1, 2012, to May 1, 2022. The enrolled patients were divided into a mechanical-ventilated group and an active-breathing group according to whether they received invasive mechanical ventilation or not. The level of PaCO2 under active breathing between the two groups, the changes in PaCO2 before intubation, after intubation and after thrombolysis in the mechanical-ventilated group were compared. The 14-day all-cause mortality of the two groups was calculated and compared. Results: A total of 49 patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism were enrolled, including 22 patients in the mechanical-ventilated group and 27 patients in the active-breathing group. Before intubation, PaCO2 in both groups was lower than normal without statistically significant difference between the two groups. After effective thrombolysis therapy, PaCO2 in both groups recovered to the normal range. In the mechanical-ventilated group, PaCO2 significantly increased 11-147 min after intubation and returned to the normal range after thrombolysis therapy. The 14-day mortality in the mechanical-ventilated group was 54.5%, while all patients in the active-breathing group survived. Conclusions: Under mechanical controlled ventilation, patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism could represent hypercapnia which resolved after effective thrombolytic therapy. In mechanical ventilated patients with sudden-onset hypoxemia and hypercapnia, the possibility of high-risk pulmonary embolism should be considered.

Abstract
Clinical trials on icotinib, a first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), have shown promising results as targeted therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to establish an effective scoring system to predict the one-year progression-free survival (PFS) of advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations treated with icotinib as targeted therapy. A total of 208 consecutive patients with advanced EGFR-positive NSCLC treated with icotinib were enrolled in this study. Baseline characteristics were collected within 30 days before icotinib treatment. PFS was taken as the primary endpoint and the response rate as the secondary endpoint. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were used to select the optimal predictors. We evaluated the scoring system using a five-fold cross-validation. PFS events occurred in 175 patients, with a median PFS of 9.9 months (interquartile range, 6.8-14.5). The objective response rate (ORR) was 36.1%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 67.3%. The final ABC-Score consisted of three predictors: age, bone metastases and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). Upon comparison of all three factors, the combined ABC-score (area under the curve (AUC)= 0.660) showed a better predictive accuracy than age (AUC = 0.573), bone metastases (AUC = 0.615), and CA19-9 (AUC = 0.608) individually. A five-fold cross-validation showed good discrimination with AUC = 0.623. The ABC-score developed in this study was significantly effective as a prognostic tool for icotinib in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) is a disease involving the nervous system caused by metabolic disorder, while the metabolic spectrum and key metabolites remain poorly defined. METHODS Plasma samples of 30 healthy controls, 30 T2DM patients, and 60 DSPN patients were subjected to nontargeted metabolomics. Potential biomarkers of DSPN were screened based on univariate and multivariate statistical analyses, ROC curve analysis, and logistic regression. Finally, another 22 patients with T2DM who developed DSPN after follow-up were selected for validation of the new biomarker based on target metabolomics. RESULTS Compared with the control group and the T2DM group, 6 metabolites showed differences in the DSPN group (P < 0.05; FDR < 0.1; VIP > 1) and a rising step trend was observed. Among them, phenylacetylglutamine (PAG) and sorbitol displayed an excellent discriminatory ability and associated with disease severity. The verification results demonstrated that when T2DM progressed to DSPN, the phenylacetylglutamine content increased significantly (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION The discovered and verified endogenous metabolite PAG may be a novel potential biomarker of DSPN and involved in the disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the regulatory mechanism of human hepatocyte apoptosis induced by lysosomal membrane protein Sidt2 knockout. METHODS The Sidt2 knockout (Sidt2-/-) cell model was constructed in human hepatocyte HL7702 cells using Crispr-Cas9 technology.The protein levels of Sidt2 and key autophagy proteins LC3-II/I and P62 in the cell model were detected using Western blotting, and the formation of autophagosomes was observed with MDC staining.EdU incorporation assay and flow cytometry were performed to observe the effect of Sidt2 knockout on cell proliferation and apoptosis.The effect of chloroquine at the saturating concentration on autophagic flux, proliferation and apoptosis of Sidt2 knockout cells were observed. RESULTS Sidt2-/- HL7702 cells were successfully constructed.Sidt2 knockout significantly inhibited the proliferation and increased apoptosis of the cells, causing also increased protein expressions of LC3-II/I and P62(P < 0.05) and increased number of autophagosomes.Autophagy of the cells reached a saturated state following treatment with 50 μmol/L chloroquine, and at this concentration, chloroquine significantly increased the expressions of LC3B and P62 in Sidt2-/- HL7702 cells. CONCLUSION Sidt2 gene knockout causes dysregulation of the autophagy pathway and induces apoptosis of HL7702 cells, and the latter effect is not mediated by inhibiting the autophagy-lysosomal pathway.

Abstract
Water residue and replacement difficulty cause insufficient adhesive infiltration in demineralized dentin matrix (DDM), which produces a defective hybrid layer and thus a bonding durability problem, severely plaguing adhesive dentistry for decades. In this study, we propose that the unique properties of a highly hydrated interface of the porous DDM can give rise to 1 new type of interface, confined liquid water, which accounts for most of the residue water and may be the main cause of insufficient infiltration. To prove our hypothesis, 3 metal ions with increasing binding affinity and complex stability (Na+, Ca2+, and Cu2+) were introduced respectively to coordinate negatively charged groups such as -PO43-, -COO- abundant in the DDM interface. Strong chelation of Ca2+ and Cu2+ rapidly released the confined water, significantly improving penetration of hydrophobic adhesive monomers, while Na+ had little effect. A significant decrease of defects in the hybrid layer and a much decreased modulus gap between the hybrid layer and the adhesive layer greatly optimized the microstructure and micromechanical properties of the tooth-resin bonding interface, thus improving the effectiveness and durability of dentin bonding substantially. This study paves the way for a solution to the core scientific issue of contemporary adhesive dentistry: water residue and replacement in dentin bonding, both theoretically and practically.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of food-borne diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) and the prevalence of mcr genes that mediates mobile colistin resistance in parts of China, 2020. Methods: For 91 DEC isolates recovered from food sources collected from Fujian province, Hebei province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Shanghai city in 2020, Vitek2 Compact biochemical identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing platform was used for the detection of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) against to 18 kinds of antimicrobial compounds belonging to 9 categories, and multi-polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) was used to detect the mcr-1-mcr-9 genes, then a further AST, whole genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics analysis were platformed for these DEC isolates which were PCR positive for mcr genes. Results: Seventy in 91 isolates showed different antimicrobial resistance levels to the drugs tested with a resistance rate of 76.92%. The isolates showed the highest antimicrobial resistance rates to ampicillin (69.23%, 63/91) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (59.34%, 54/91), respectively. The multiple drug-resistant rate was 47.25% (43/91). Two mcr-1 gene and ESBL (extended-spectrum beta-lactamase) positive EAEC (enteroaggregative Escherichia coli) strains were detected. One of them was identified as serotype of O11:H6, which showed a resistance profile to 25 tested drugs referring to 10 classes, and 38 drug resistance genes were predicted by genome analysis. The other one was O16:H48 serotype, which was resistant to 21 tested drugs belonging to 7 classes and carried a new variant of mcr-1 gene (mcr-1.35). Conclusion: An overall high-level antimicrobial resistance was found among foodborne DEC isolates recovered from parts of China in 2020, and so was the MDR (multi-drug resistance) condition. MDR strains carrying multiple resistance genes such as mcr-1 gene were detected, and a new variant of mcr-1 gene was also found. It is necessary to continue with a dynamic monitoring on DEC contamination and an ongoing research into antimicrobial resistance mechanisms.
