Abstract
Background: Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), an immune checkpoint molecule, has recently been recognized as a predictive and prognostic biomarker in several malignant tumors, but its diagnostic value remains largely unknown. Aim: We aimed to investigate the differential diagnostic efficiency of PD-1 and other immune molecules, and propose a panel of immune molecules combined with cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) to distinguish breast cancer (BC) from benign breast disease (BBD). Methods: Ninety-one eligible BC patients and 31 BBD patients were enrolled. Pretreatment peripheral blood was collected and tested for mRNA expression of PD-1, cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), forkhead box P3 (FOXP3), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-2 receptor alpha (IL-2Rα), and cluster of differentiation 28 (CD28) by quantitative real-time PCR. Results: The diagnostic areas under curve (AUCs) of PD-1, IL-2Rα, and IL-10 for BC-BBD discrimination were 0.764, 0.758, and 0.743, respectively. The diagnostic efficiencies of these 2 parameters in distinguishing early-stage or advanced BC from BBD were consistent with a role in BC-BBD discrimination. A panel of PD-1 + IL-10 + IL-2Rα + CA15-3 showed the highest AUC (0.862), with sensitivity of 0.933 and specificity of 0.724, for BC-BBD discrimination. In addition, for early-stage BC discrimination, this panel also had the highest AUC (0.811), with a sensitivity of 0.933 and specificity of 0.614, while for advanced BC discrimination, a panel of PD-1 + IL-10 + CA15-3 exhibited the highest AUC (0.896), with a sensitivity of 0.933 and specificity of 0.783. Conclusion: These data indicate that the panel containing PD-1, IL-2Rα, IL-10, and CA15-3 can effectively discriminate BC from BBD with a high efficiency. After further confirmation, it could be used to complement conventional imaging modalities, especially in discriminating early-stage BC from BBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maxillary reconstruction using various pedicled and free-tissue transfer techniques with bone graft or without bone graft has some drawbacks. In this study, we demonstrate maxillary reconstruction using femoris rectus muscle flap and sagittal mandibular ramus/coronoid process graft pedicled with temporalis muscle through the modified lateral lip-submandibular approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nine patients suffering from maxillary defects secondary to maxillary cancer ablation, who underwent maxillary reconstruction using rectus femoris muscle flap and sagittal mandibular ramus/coronoid process graft pedicled with temporalis muscle, were enrolled into this study between November 2015 and August 2017. RESULTS All patients who underwent the maxillary reconstruction using femoris rectus muscle flap and sagittal mandibular ramus/coronoid process graft pedicled with temporalis muscle presented satisfactory postoperative function, with adequate mouth opening, optimal esthetic outcome and no restrictions on the diet. Every rectus femoris muscle flaps mucosalized well within five weeks. No donor site functional impairment or complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS The technique is a feasible and acceptable technique for the maxillary reconstructions. It is safe, quick and simple to harvest. It also presents an optimal esthetic and satisfactory functional outcome with the advantage of low morbidity of the donor site. Combined with the three-dimension reconstruction, this technique can improve the postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
Records of absenteeism from primary schools are valuable data for infectious diseases surveillance. However, the analysis of the absenteeism is complicated by the data features of clustering at zero, non-independence and overdispersion. This study aimed to generate an appropriate model to handle the absenteeism data collected in a European Commission granted project for infectious disease surveillance in rural China and to evaluate the validity and timeliness of the resulting model for early warnings of infectious disease outbreak. Four steps were taken: (1) building a 'well-fitting' model by the zero-inflated Poisson model with random effects (ZIP-RE) using the absenteeism data from the first implementation year; (2) applying the resulting model to predict the 'expected' number of absenteeism events in the second implementation year; (3) computing the differences between the observations and the expected values (O-E values) to generate an alternative series of data; (4) evaluating the early warning validity and timeliness of the observational data and model-based O-E values via the EARS-3C algorithms with regard to the detection of real cluster events. The results indicate that ZIP-RE and its corresponding O-E values could improve the detection of aberrations, reduce the false-positive signals and are applicable to the zero-inflated data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the safety and treatment effectiveness of retroperitoneal laparoscopic tumor aspiration and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) in the treatment of renal angiomyolipoma (RAML). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients with pathologically confirmed RAML who received operation between August 2010 and August 2016 in the Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital. Among them, a series of 121 patients were included in this trial according to the inclusion criteria, of which 74 cases could be collected and followed-up effectively. Based on the detailed surgical route, the 74 patients were divided into groups A and B: group A, which underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic tumor aspiration, included 43 cases; group B, which received retroperitoneal LPN, included 31 cases. Patient demographics, intraoperative variables and postoperative outcomes were reported and compared between the groups. RESULTS No statistical difference was detected in both groups before the treatment. Intraoperatively, the mean estimated blood loss was 48.7 mL in group A and 102.9 mL in group B, and the mean operative time was 70.1 min (21.2 min of warm ischemia time included) in group A and 103.6 min (28.5 min of warm ischemia time included) in group B, which were both statistically different. In group A, no complications occurred and yet 2 complications of transfusion and 1 complication of urine leakage were discovered in group B, although all finally recovered only with conservative treatment. A statistical difference was observed in the complication rates. Post-operatively, the mean serum creatinine level was 1.13 mg/dL in group A, and the level was 1.08 mg/dL in group B, in which no evident difference was detected. In a mean 52.6-months' follow-up, a recurrence of 3 cases in group A (7.0%) and a recurrence of 2 cases in group B (6.5%) were reported. No evident difference was also detected between the groups in the tumor recurrence rates. CONCLUSION Due to the improvements in the intraoperative blood loss and operative time, retroperitoneal laparoscopic tumor aspiration may be provided with more potential advantages in the safety, also with equal efficacy of lower tumor recurrence rates when compared with the traditional retroperitoneal LPN in the treatment of RAML.

Abstract
Objective: This study sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FIREHAWK, a novel abluminal groove-filled biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in patients with moderate-complex coronary lesions (including patients with small vessel disease, long lesion and multi vessel disease), and to validate the ability of the SYNTAX score (SS) to predict clinical outcomes in patients treated with FIREHAWK stent. Methods: TARGETⅡ was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial, a total of 730 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of de novo lesions in native coronary arteries in 24 medical centers in China from August 2011 to February 2012 were enrolled in this study. All patients were exclusively treated with the FIREHAWK stent. Clinical data including patients with diabetes, small vessel disease, long lesion and multi vessel disease were analyzed. The primary composite endpoint was the target lesion failure (TLF) of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction (TV-MI), or target lesion revascularization (TLR). The secondary composite endpoint was patient-oriented endpoint (PoCE), a composite of all death, all myocardial in farction (MI), or any repeat revascularization; definite/probable stent thrombosis (ST) (including acute, late, and very late thrombosis) . SS was calculated in lesions with stenosis more than 50% with coronary artery diameter greater than 1.5 mm. Patients were grouped by tertiles of SS (≤7, >7 to ≤12, >12). Follow-up was performed up to 5 years. Results: A total of 730 patients were enrolled in the TARGET Ⅱ trial. The average SS was 10.9±6.9. 683 (93.6%) patients completed 5-year clinical follow-up. The 5-year incidence of TLF was 8.5%(58/683). The incidence of TLF components was as follows: cardiac death 2.0%(14/683), TV-MI 4.4%(30/683), TLR 3.4%(23/683). The incidence of PoCE was 16.4%(112/683). The incidence of definite/probable stent thrombosis was 0.7%(5/683).Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that the diabetes subgroup (HR=1.123, 95%CI 0.623-2.026, P=0.699), the small vessel disease subgroup (HR=0.909, 95%CI 0.526-1.570, P=0.732), the long lesion subgroup (HR=1.561, 95%CI 0.922-2.640, P=0.097), and the multi vessel disease subgroup (HR=1.062, 95%CI 0.611-1.846, P=0.830) did not increase the HR of TLF compared with the counterpart subgroups. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that the hazard of TLF was not increased in the middle and high SS groups as compared with the low SS group (HR=1.203,95%CI 0.607-2.385,P=0.597;HR=1.548,95%CI 0.829-2.892,P=0.171). Conclusions: The 5 years follow-up results of TARGET Ⅱ trial shows that the biodegradable polymer of FIREHAWK stents have long-lasting safety and efficacy for patients with moderate-complex coronary lesions. SS is not the predicting factor for the occurrence of TLF in FIREHAWK treated patients with moderate-complex coronary lesions. Trial Registration Clinical Trials.gov, NCT0141264.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinically common critical disease with various treatment methods. Stem cell has drawn great attention for excellent performance in treatment of ALI. However, due to its high apoptosis rate, the further clinical application of stem cell is restricted. Exosomes are a kind of extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, which play important role in injury repair with further research about exosomes. This article reviews current situation, brief introduction to exosomes, repair effects of exosomes on ALI, and the potential signal pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor 2 (rhKGF-2) on lung tissue of rabbits with severe smoke inhalation injury. Methods: A total of 120 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 5 groups by random number table after being inflicted with severe smoke inhalation injury, with 24 rats in each group. Rabbits in the simple injury group inhaled air, while rabbits in the injury+phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group inhaled 5 mL PBS once daily for 7 d. Rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group received aerosol inhalation of 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 (all dissolved in 5 mL PBS) once daily for 7 d, respectively. On treatment day 1, 3, 5, and 7, blood samples were taken from the ear central artery of 6 rabbits in each group. After the blood was taken, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the tracheal carina tissue and lung were collected. Blood pH value, arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO(2)), arterial blood carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO(2)), and bicarbonate ion were detected by handheld blood analyzer. The expressions of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A (SP-A) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in lung tissue were detected by Western blotting. Pathomorphology of lung tissue and trachea was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Data were processed with analysis of variance of two-way factorial design and Tukey test. Results: (1) Compared with those in simple injury group, the blood pH values of rabbits in the latter groups on treatment day 1-7 had no obvious change (P>0.05). The PaO(2) of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were (75.0±2.4) and (71.0±4.5) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively, which were significantly higher than (62.0±6.8) and (63.0±3.0) mmHg in simple injury group (q=4.265, 8.202, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The PaO(2) of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was (82.0±4.9) mmHg, which was significantly higher than that in simple injury group (q=6.234, P<0.01). Compared with that in simple injury group, the PaCO(2) of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 was significantly decreased (q=4.876, P<0.01) and significantly increased on treatment day 5 (q=5.562, P<0.01); the PaCO(2) of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group was significantly increased on treatment day 5 and 7 (q=5.013, 4.601, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with that in simple injury group, the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was significantly increased (q=5.142, P<0.01); the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were significantly increased (q=4.830, 6.934, P<0.01); the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 were significantly increased (q=3.973, P<0.05). (2) The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in simple injury group and injury+PBS group in each treatment time point were close (P>0.05). The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 were 0.091±0.007 and 0.101±0.009, respectively, significantly higher than 0.069±0.009 in simple injury group (q=10.800, 13.580, P<0.01). The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were 0.127±0.008, 0.132±0.006, 0.194±0.006, 0.152±0.017, 0.166±0.004, 0.240±0.008, significantly higher than 0.092±0.003 and 0.108±0.005 in simple injury group (q=6.789, 12.340, 17.900, 9.875, 31.480, 40.740, P<0.01). (3) On treatment day 1 and 5, there was no significant difference in the expression of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits among the 5 groups (P>0.05). Compared with those in simple injury group, the expressions of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 and 7 were significantly increased (q=4.243, 8.000, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the expression of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was significantly increased (q=20.720, P<0.01). (4) On treatment day 1, the injury of rabbits in each group was similar, with a large number of neutrophils infiltrated and abscess formed in the alveolar and interstitial tissue, thickened alveolar septum, some collapsed alveolar and atelectasis; large area of tracheal mucosa was degenerated and necrotic, with a large amount of inflammatory exudates blocking in the cavity. On treatment day 3, the inflammation of lung tissue and trachea in each group were improved, but the inflammation in simple injury group and injury+PBS group was also serious. On treatment day 5, the inflammation in lung tissue and trachea of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group were improved much obviously than those in the other groups. On treatment day 7, the inflammation in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group alleviated obviously than those in the other groups, most alveoli had no obvious exudative fluid, the alveolar cavity was intact and clear, the local alveolar dilated like a cyst, and the alveolar septum thinning; the improvement of inflammation of trachea was more obvious than the other groups, the tracheal mucosa tended to be more complete, and few neutrophils were infiltrated in the endotracheal cavity. Conclusions: Atomization inhalation of rhKGF-2 can improve the PaO(2) level of rabbits with severe smoke inhalation injury, reduce airway inflammation, increase the expression of SP-A and VEGF in lung tissue, thus promoting the repair of lung tissue.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and long-term outcomes in Chinese patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Methods: A total of 4 815 consecutive NSTE-ACS patients who treated with DESs were included.Patients were divided into three groups: <1.00 mg/L, 1.00 to 2.99 mg/L and ≥3.00 mg/L, based on the level of hs-CRP on admission.Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, in-stent thrombosis and stroke) were compared among groups during 2-year follow-up. Results: Patients with higher hs-CRP had more risk factors of cardiovascular events such as concomitant morbidities and multi-vessel lesions(68.5% vs 73.6% vs 76.2%, P<0.001). Higher hs-CRP value was associated with increased rates of MACCE (8.8% vs 11.2% vs 12.6%, P=0.003) and revascularization (6.5% vs 8.5% vs 9.8%, P=0.003). However, the rates of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and stent thrombosis were comparable among groups(all P>0.05). Ongoing divergences in MACCE and revascularization among three groups were significant on Kaplan-Meier curves (both Log-rank P=0.003). Multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated that compared to hs-CRP<1.00 mg/L group, MACCE in the >3.00 mg/L group was increased by 42% [HR 1.42 (1.13-1.78), P=0.002]. Meanwhile, multivessel leisions, ejection fraction<50%, elevated white blood cell counts were also independent risk factors.CRP≥3.00 mg/L(HR 1.56, 95%CI 1.16-2.08, P=0.003, compared to <1.00 mg/L) and multivessel leisions were independent predictors of revascularization. Conclusions: (1)Patients with higher hs-CRP on admission have more risk factors of cardiovascular events.(2)Higher hs-CRP value is associated with increased rates of MACCE and revascularization.(3)Pre-procedural hs-CRP is an independent predictor of 2-year outcomes for Chinese NSTE-ACS patients treated with DESs.

Abstract
Human cell-based 3D tissue constructs play an increasing role in disease modeling and drug screening. Inflammation, atherosclerosis, and many autoimmune disorders involve the interactions between immune cells and blood vessels. However, it has been difficult to image and model these interactions under realistic conditions. In this study, we fabricated a perfusion and imaging chamber to allow the real-time visualization of leukocyte perfusion, adhesion, and migration inside a tissue-engineered blood vessel (TEBV). We monitored the elevated monocyte adhesion to the TEBV wall and transendothelial migration (TEM) as the TEBV endothelium was activated by the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α. We demonstrated that treatment with anti-TNF-α or an NF-kB signaling pathway inhibitor would attenuate the endothelium activation and reduce the number of leukocyte adhesion (>74%) and TEM events (>87%) close to the control. As the first demonstration of real-time imaging of dynamic cellular events within a TEBV, this work paves the way for drug screening and disease modeling in TEBV-associated microphysiological systems.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the cannulated screw internal fixation (IF) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) for displaced femoral neck fracture with cost-utility analysis (CUA). Methods: From January 2014 to August 2015, a total of 87 patients above 60 years old with displaced femoral neck fracture were admitted into the study and divided into 2 groups according to surgery type. There were 41 cases in IF group and 46 cases in HA group. During 1 year follow-up we collected the total cost due to fracture and applied EQ-5D index to evaluate the clinical effects. The value of EQ-5D index will be transformed to quality adjusted life year (QALY). Eventually the data including cost and QALY were used to calculate the cost utility ratio (CUR) for patients in each group. Results: All the patients completed the operation successfully. The total cost of IF and HA was 45 796 yuan and 56 657 yuan (P<0.05), while the QALY was 0.79 and 0.83 respectively (P>0.05). The CUR showed that patients in IF and HA group spent 57 970 yuan and 68 261 yuan for each QALY which means patients in HA group spent more 10 292 yuan for each QALY than that in IF group. Conclusions: Both IF and HA can provide satisfactory clinical outcome in 1 year follow-up, however the total cost of IF was obviously less than HA. Therefore IF may be more cost-effective for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fracture in terms of health economics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND On the basis of the importance of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in gastrointestinal motility, we hypothesized that the ENS may mediate the therapeutic efficacy of electro-acupuncture (EA) in constipation by regulating the mechanisms underlying the effects of EA on gastrointestinal function. METHODS Model mice with constipation were generated by gastric instillation of 0-4°C normal saline. Defecation time and stool (form and wet and dry weight) were assessed. The effect of EA at ST37 or ST25 on colorectal motility and proximal colonic motility was assessed using a water-filled balloon. The expression of protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), the cholinergic neuron marker acetyltransferase (ChAT) and the anticholinergic neuron marker nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) was detected by immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blot analysis. KEY RESULTS ST37 and ST25 improved colorectal pressure; however, ST37 but not ST25 improved proximal colonic pressure. In the proximal colon, the expression of PGP9.5 returned to normal after EA at ST 37, while EA at ST25 did not have this effect. In addition, qPCR and western blot analysis showed that ST37 could downregulate the expression of nNOS and upregulate the expression of ChAT to normal levels, while ST25 could only downregulate the expression of nNOS to normal levels. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES Electro-acupuncture at specific acupoints can improve intestinal motility in constipation by altering the ENS and differentially affecting excitatory and inhibitory neurons, restoring the coordination between contraction and relaxation muscles, and working in concert with the central nervous system and peripheral neural pathways.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with hydrofluoric acid (HF) burns. Methods: Clinical data of 316 patients with HF burns admitted to Zhejiang Quhua Hospital from January 2004 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into non and mild poisoning group (NMP, n=157), moderate poisoning group (MP, n=120), and severe and fatal poisoning group (SFP, n=39) based on the severity of poisoning. Occurrences of hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, and hyperkalemia of patients within 24 hours after admission were recorded. Values of emergency urinary fluoride of patients on admission were recorded. Values of urinary fluoride of patients admitted to hospital in 4 hours post injury in groups MP and SFP at post injury hour 4, 12, and 24 and on post injury day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were also recorded. Electrocardiographic abnormalities of patients within 24 hours after admission were recorded. Data were processed with chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: (1) Hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypokalemia occurred in some patients in each of the three groups, but no patient had hyperkalemia. Taking serum calcium namely total serum calcium as reference, the incidence rate of hypocalcemia of patients in group NMP was close to that in group MP (χ(2)=0.05, P>0.05). The incidence rate of hypocalcemia of patients in group SFP was significantly higher than that in group NMP or group MP (χ(2)=10.53, 7.92, P<0.01). The incidence rates of hypokalemia in the three groups were close (χ(2)=0.63, P>0.05). Taking serum ionized calcium as reference, the incidence ratio of hypocalcemia of patients in group NMP was close to that in group MP (χ(2)=0.01, P>0.05), while there were statistically significant differences in incidence ratio of hypocalcemia of patients between group SFP and each of group NMP and group MP (χ(2)=4.66, 4.47, P<0.05). Taking serum calcium as reference, the incidence rate of hypocalcemia of patients was 7.3% (23/316). Taking serum ionized calcium as reference, the incidence rate of hypocalcemia of patients was 60.0% (42/70), which was significantly higher than that of taking serum calcium as reference (χ(2)=113.74, P<0.01). The incidence rates of hypomagnesemia of patients in groups MP and NMP were close (χ(2)=0.02, P>0.05). The incidence rate of hypomagnesemia of patients in group SFP was significantly higher than that in group NMP or group MP (χ(2)=14.69, 9.94, P<0.01). (2) The urinary fluoride levels were tested in 288 patients, with the value of emergency urinary fluoride of patients on admission 0.2-590.0 mg/L. The values of urinary fluoride of 202 patients were above the normal value. The values of emergency urinary fluoride of patients in groups NMP, MP, and SFP were 2.15 (1.11, 4.30), 5.89 (1.72, 14.25), and 36.0 (13.2, 103.2) mg/L, respectively. The values of emergency urinary fluoride of patients in groups MP and SFP were significantly higher than the value in group NMP (χ(2)=23.28, 66.03, P<0.01). The value of emergency urinary fluoride of patients in group SFP was significantly higher than that in group MP (χ(2)=39.23, P<0.01). The value of urinary fluoride of 33 patients admitted to hospital within 4 hours post injury in groups MP and SFP reached the top at 4 hours post injury and then gradually declined, which returned to normal on about 5 days post injury. The values of urinary fluoride of patients in group SFP at 4, 12, and 24 hours post injury and on 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days post injury were significantly higher than those in group MP (Z=-4.28, -4.15, -3.81, -4.21, -2.48, -2.06, -2.31, -2.68, -3.03, P<0.05 or P<0.01). (3) Twenty-seven patients had electrocardiographic abnormality. There were 12 patients with T wave changes (the most common), 8 patients with ST-T changes, 6 patients with ventricular arrhythmias, 6 patients with conduction block, and 1 patient with broadened QRS waveform. There was no patient with prolonged Q-T interval. The ratios of patients with the above electrocardiographic abnormalities in group SFP were higher than those in group NMP and group MP. Conclusions: Clinical manifestations of patients with HF burn are hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, and electrocardiographic abnormality. In addition to routine serum electrolyte and electrocardiogram monitoring, the levels of serum ionized calcium and urinary fluoride can be helpful to evaluate the severity of illness of the patients.

Abstract
Objective: To retrospectively explore the effects of modified dosage of calcium gluconate (CG) on the patients with hydrofluoric acid burns not in hands or feet. Methods: One hundred and sixty patients with hydrofluoric acid burns not in hands or feet were hospitalized in our burn ward from January 2004 to December 2017. Based on the dosage of CG at different admission time, 76 patients hospitalized from January 2004 to December 2012 were included in traditional group, and 84 patients hospitalized from January 2013 to December 2017 were included in modified group. For patients in the two groups, subcutaneous injection of CG solution at one time was immediately conducted on admission in topical treatment. In traditional group, the injection was CG solution with mass concentration of 100 g/L. For wounds of superficial partial-thickness and above degree, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of 50 mg/cm(2). Wounds of superficial-thickness or mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid less than 20.0% did not receive injection. In modified group, the mass concentration of CG solution for injection was diluted with normal saline to 25 g/L. For wounds of deep partial-thickness and above degree, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of (50×mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid) mg/cm(2). For wounds of superficial partial-thickness, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of (25×mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid) mg/cm(2). For wounds of superficial-thickness, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of 2.5 mg/cm(2). For systemic treatment, the injection velocity of CG solution via venous access was adjusted according to the level of serum calcium namely total serum calcium of patients in traditional group. In modified group, serum ionized calcium was additionally detected through automatic blood gas analyzer by the bed to regulate the injection velocity of CG via venous access. The incidence rate of hypercalcemia and mortality of patients after treatment in the two groups, and the situation about treatment of survivors in the two groups were analyzed. Data were processed with chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test, t test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: (1) After treatment, 9 patients (11.8%) had hypercalcemia, while the other 67 patients (88.2%) did not have hypercalcemia in traditional group. Two patients (2.4%) had hypercalcemia, while the other 82 patients (97.6%) did not have hypercalcemia in modified group. The incidence rate of hypercalcemia of patients in traditional group was significantly higher than that in modified group (χ(2)=5.579, P=0.02). (2) There were two deaths (2.6%) and 74 survivors (97.4%) in traditional group, while there were two deaths (2.4%) and 82 survivors (97.6%) in modified group. The mortalities of patients in the two groups were close (P>0.05). (3) The ratios of eschar excision and skin grafting and hyperplastic scar formation, wound healing time, and ratio of esophageal scar stenosis of survivors in the two groups were close (χ(2)=0.002, 0.054, Z=0.66, P>0.05). Conclusions: Hydrofluoric acid is highly dangerous. The early management of patients with hydrofluoric acid burns emphasizing specialized dosage of CG for treatment can be helpful to reduce incidence of complications and improve the safety of treatment.

Abstract
Objective:The next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) was used to perform genetic testing on children diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss in outpatient clinics.The information on the status and inheritance of disease causing genes in deafness was analyzed to provide a theoretical basis for genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, and birth defects prevention.Method:Ninety-four cases of sensorineural deafness diagnosed by medical history, audiological examination, and imaging examination were collected in our department.Next-generation sequencing was used to detect the region of exons of 159 genes, 6 mitochondrial genes, and 3 miRNAs related to deafness. The Sanger sequencing verification was performed on the parents of the probands to find out the gene expression status and relationship between the probands and the parents.Result:Of the 94 children with deafness,70 had severe sensorineural hearing loss, 13 had moderate to severe hearing loss, 8 had moderate hearing loss, and 3 had mild hearing loss.Twenty-three cases of cariogenic mutations were detected by next generation sequencing,and the total mutation rate was 24.5%. There were 11 cases of GJB2 mutations, including 6 homozygous mutations of 235delC, 4 heterozygous mutations of 235delC and 299_300del heterozygous mutation of 235delC and c.176_191del.There are 5 cases of SLC26A4 gene mutations, including 2 cases of homozygous mutations of c.919-2A> G, one case of c.919-2A> G and c.2168A>G compound heterozygous mutations, c.919-2A> G and c.754T> C compound heterozygous mutation in 1 case, c.919 2A> G and c.416-418del complex heterozygous mutation in 1 case. There were 2 cases of MT RNR1 mutations, and 1 case of STRC,KCNQ1,USH2A,POU3F4, and MITF mutations.Conclusion:The next-generation sequencing has features such as rapid, high throughput, and low cost, which is beneficial to medication guidance, genetic counseling, and marriage and parenting guidance,and help to effectively prevent or reduce the occurrence of hereditary deafness..

Abstract
Objective: To quantify the extent and complexity of residual coronary stenosis following PCI by the residual SYNTAX score, and to evaluate its impact on adverse ischemic outcomes in acute coronary syndrome(ACS) patients. Methods: From January 2013 to December 2013, a total of 1 414 consecutive moderate- and high-risk ACS patients who underwent any PCI with multi-vessel coronary artery disease were evaluated.Patients were stratified by rSS quartiles and their outcomes were compared. Results: The rSS was 4.8±6.7. 591 patients (41.8%) had rSS=0(CR), 233 patients (16.5%) had rSS>0 but ≤ 3, 296 patients (20.9%) had rSS>3 but ≤8 and 294 patients (20.8%) had rSS>8.Clinical risk factors were more frequent in patients with incomplete revascularization(IR) compared with complete revascularization(CR). The 2-year rates of all-caused death(1.2% vs 0.4%, 2.0%, 4.4%, P=0.003), cardiac death, revascularization and MACCE were significantly higher in high rSS group, compared to other groups.By multivariable analysis, rSS was a strong independent predictor of ischemic outcomes at 2-year, including all-cause mortality (HR=1.05, 95%CI 1.01-1.09, P=0.019), cardiac death, revascularization and MACCE. Conclusions: The rSS is a strong independent predictor of all-caused death, cardiac death, revascularization and MACCE and has moderated predictive ability for those ischemic outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of direct bilirubin on long-term prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients post percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods: As a prospective and observational cohort study, a total of 6 431 consecutive ACS patients underwent PCI from January to December 2013 in Fuwai hospital were included. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to tertiles values of direct bilirubin as follows: low direct bilirubin group(<2.2 μmol/L, n=2 219), moderate direct bilirubin group(2.2-3.0 μmol/L, n=2 016), and high direct bilirubin group(>3 μmol/L, n=2 196). The clinical characteristics were compared among the 3 groups, and the impact of direct bilirubin on clinical adverse events (main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events included cardiogenic death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, stroke, and stent thrombosis) were analyzed at 2 years after PCI. Results: (1) Percent of male patients was 66.5%(1 475/2 219), 78.0%(1 572/2 016), and 86.2%(1 892/2 196), body mass index was(25.7±3.1), (26.0±3.3),and (26.0±3.2) kg/m(2), the ratio of the history of old myocardial infarction was 11.9%(264/2 219), 13.0%(263/2 016),and 14.9%(328/2 196), the ratio of the current smoker was 56.3%(1 249/2 219), 59.1%(1 192/2 016),and 60.0%(1 317/2 196) in low, moderate and high direct bilirubin groups respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01 or 0.05). (2) Two years after PCI, the all-cause mortality was 0.8%(17/2 219), 1.8%(36/2 016), and 1.5%(33/2 196) (P=0.011),the cardiogenic mortality was 0.5%(12/2 219), 1.3%(26/2 016), and 0.6%(13/2 196) (P=0.010),the ratio of myocardial infarction was 2.2%(49/2 219), 2.4%(49/2 016), and 1.4%(31/2 196)(P=0.044),the ratio of revascularization was 8.8%(195/2 219), 8.3%(168/2 016),and 8.9%(196/2 196)(P=0.783),the ratio of stroke was 1.4%(30/2 219),1.1%(22/2 016), and 1.9%(42/2 196)(P=0.076),the ratio of stent thrombosis was 0.9%(19/2 219), 1.2%(24/2 016),and 0.7%(15/2 196)(P=0.210) in low, moderate and high direct bilirubin groups, respectively. (3) Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that, patients in moderate direct bilirubin group faced increased the risk of all-cause mortality compared with patients in the low direct bilirubin group (HR=2.23, 95%CI 1.23-4.05, P= 0.009), and the risk of all-cause mortality was similar between high direct bilirubin group and low direct bilirubin group (HR=1.84, 95%CI 0.99-3.38, P= 0.051). There were no statistically significant difference in the risks of main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,cardiogenic death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, stroke, and stent thrombosis in moderate and high direct bilirubin groups compared with low direct bilirubin group (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Moderate direct bilirubin level is associated with increased risk of all-cause death at 2 years after PCI compared with low level of direct bilirubin group.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of SYNTAX score on 1 year outcome in coronary heart disease patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods: The present study (PANDA Ⅲ trial) was a perspective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial. Between December 2013 and August 2014, 2 348 patients who underwent PCI from 46 centers were enrolled. SYNTAX score was calculated from all patients. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on SYNTAX score: lower risk group (SYNTAX score≤22, 1 777 patients), intermediate risk group (SYNTAX score 23-32, 412 patients), and higher risk group (SYNTAX score≥33, 159 patients). The patients were followed up after the procedure for one year.Primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), including cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction,and ischemia driven target lesion revascularization. Secondary endpoints included stent thrombosis and major adverse cardiac events were defined as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction and any revascularization. Results: (1) A total of 1 766 (99.2%), 411 (99.8%),and 159 (100%) patients in the lower risk group, intermediate risk and higher risk group completed the 1 year follow up. (2) Incidence of TLF were 5.6%(99/1 763) in lower risk group, 8.8%(36/411) in intermediate risk group,and 8.8%(14/159) in higher risk group(P=0.03). The incidence of target vessel myocardial infarction in lower risk group was 3.9%(68/1 763), 6.6%(27/411) in intermediate risk group,and 7.5% (12/159) in higher risk group(P=0.01).Prevalence of cardiac death and ischemia driven target lesion revascularization was similar among the 3 groups(P>0.05).(3) The probable stent thrombosis events rate was 0.1% (1/1 763), 0.7% (3/411), and 0.6% (1/159) in the lower, intermediate,and higher risk groups respectively (P=0.02). The incidence of major adverse cardiac events was 8.1% (142/1 763) in lower-risk group, 11.7% (48/411) in intermediate risk group, and 14.5% (23/159) in higher risk group (P<0.01). The incidence of all-cause death was 1.7%(30/1 763) in lower-risk group, 1.7%(7/411) in intermediate risk group, and 6.3%(10/159)in higher risk group (P<0.01). The incidence of myocardial infarction was 4.2% (74/1 763) in lower-risk group, 6.6% (27/411) in intermediate risk group, and 8.2% (13/159) in higher risk group(P=0.02).Incidence of any revascularization was similar among groups(P=0.59). (4) The multivariable Cox analysis showed that age (HR=1.04, 95%CI 1.02-1.06, P<0.01), total implanted stent length (HR=1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.02, P=0.03), and baseline SYNTAX score (HR=1.02, 95%CI 1.02-1.04, P=0.02) were independent risk factors of TLF after PCI in this patient cohort. Conclusion: The SYNTAX score is a valuable tool for predicting prognosis on 1 year in coronary heart disease patients underwent PCI. Trial Registration www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02017275.

Abstract
Impaired executive inhibition is a core deficit of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is a common childhood-onset psychiatric disorder with high heritability. In this study, we performed a two-stage genome-wide association study of executive inhibition in ADHD in Han Chinese. We used the Stroop color-word interference test to evaluate executive inhibition. After quality control, 780 samples with phenotype and covariate data were included in the discovery stage, whereas 922 samples were included in the replication stage. We identified one new significant locus at 7p22.3 for the Stroop word interference time (rs11514810, P=3.42E-09 for discovery, P=0.01176 for replication and combined P=5.249E-09). Regulatory feature analysis and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data showed that this locus contributes to MICALL2 expression in the human brain. Most genes in the network interacting with MICALL2 were associated with psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, hyperactive-impulsive-like behavior was induced by reducing the expression of the zebrafish gene that is homologous to MICALL2, which could be rescued by tomoxetine (atomoxetine), a clinical medication for ADHD. Our results suggested that MICALL2 is a new susceptibility gene for executive inhibition deficiency related to hyperactive-impulsive behavior in ADHD, further emphasizing the possible role of neurodevelopmental genes in the pathogenic mechanism of ADHD.

Abstract
Infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) occurs in ~10% of infants of HBV-infected mothers with positive hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) after immunoprophylaxis. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telbivudine used during late pregnancy for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HBV. We conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study in 5 hospitals from 2012 to 2014, which enrolled HBV-infected singleton pregnant women with positive HBeAg. By their choice, women were divided into therapy (telbivudine 600 mg/day, from gestation 28-32 weeks to 3-4 weeks postpartum) and control (no antiviral agent) groups. Infants received passive-active immunoprophylaxis and follow-up at the age of 7-14 months. Totally, 328 pregnant women were included: 149 in the telbivudine group and 179 in the control group. Baseline HBV DNA levels were similar in the 2 groups (7.43 vs 7.37 log10 IU/mL, P = .711). At delivery, HBV DNA levels in the telbivudine and control groups were 3.80 and 7.26 log10 IU/mL, respectively (P < .0001). Of the infants, 128 (85.9%) in the telbivudine group and 156 (87.2%) in the control group were followed up. No infant in the telbivudine group had chronic infection, while 2 (1.28%) infants in the control group did (P = .503). Three (2.34%) infants in the telbivudine group, but none in the control group, had severe congenital or developmental abnormalities (P = .090). The data indicate that telbivudine may block perinatal HBV transmission. However, larger studies are required to clarify whether anti-HBV therapy in pregnancy is associated with severe adverse effects in the foetuses and infants.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Uninterrupted warfarin during cryoballoon ablation (CB-A) of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been widely accepted. However, to our knowledge, no previous studies exist investigating the optimal intensity of anticoagulation with warfarin for CB-A. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of uninterrupted low-intensity warfarin for CB-A of AF in the elderly. METHODS Paroxysmal AF patients (age ≥ 70 years) who underwent CB-A were enrolled prospectively. The participants were stratified into 2 groups based on international normalized ratio (INR) before ablation (INR in group A: 1.5 to 2.0; INR in group B: 2.0-2.5). Primary endpoints included periprocedural thromboembolic complications and major bleeding. Secondary endpoints were new asymptomatic cerebral emboli (ACE) and minor bleeding. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A total of 144 patients were enrolled (group A: 65; group B: 79). In group A, the use of concomitant antiplatelet drugs was more common. Also, the mean HAS-BLED score was significantly higher (2.4 ± 0.8 vs 2.0 ± 0.6, P < .01) and the mean activated clotting time (ACT) during the procedure was significantly lower (302 ± 14 s vs 311 ± 11 s, P < .01). Other clinical characteristics were balanced between the 2 groups. No thromboembolic complications and major bleeding occurred in either group. The incidence of periprocedural ACE was comparable between the 2 groups (9.2% vs 6.3%, P = .74). The incidence of minor bleeding in group A and group B was 4.6% and 11.4%, respectively (P = .14). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Compared with standard-intensity warfarin, uninterrupted low-intensity warfarin might not increase the incidence of thromboembolic complications and might be associated with less bleeding risk during the perioperative period of cryoballoon ablation in the elderly. Large trials are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Approximately 40% of middle‐aged men exhibit symptoms of late‐onset hypogonadism (LOH). However, the mechanism of androgen deficiency is still currently unclear. As shown in our previous studies, the SET protein is expressed in testicular Leydig cells and ovarian granule cells. This study was designed to investigate the effect of the SET protein on androgen production in Leydig cells. The AdCMV/SET and AdH1siRNA/SET adenoviruses were individually transduced into a cultured mouse Leydig cell line (mLTC‐1) with or without human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) stimulation in vitro. The primary mouse Leydig cells were used to confirm the main data from mLTC‐1 cells. The SET protein was expressed in the cytoplasm and nucleus of mLTC‐1 cells. Testosterone production was significantly increased in mLTC‐1 cells overexpressing the SET protein compared with the control group (p < 0.05), whereas testosterone production was significantly decreased in the SET knockdown mLTC‐1 cells (p < 0.05). Consistent with the testosterone levels, the expression levels of the steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) and cytochrome P450c17α‐hydroxylase (CYP17a1) mRNAs and proteins synchronously changed according to the expression level of the SET protein. Interestingly, the expression of the SET protein was significantly increased in the mLTC‐1 cells stimulated with 0.04 and 0.1 U/mL hCG. In the mLTC‐1 cells transfected with AdH1siRNA/SET and concurrently stimulated with 0.1 U/mL hCG, both testosterone production and StAR expression were significantly lower than in the cells without SET knockdown (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the SET protein participates in regulating testosterone production by increasing the expression of StAR and CYP17a1, and it may be a downstream factor of the classic luteinizing hormone (LH)/luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) signaling pathway. This study improves our understanding of the intracellular mechanism of testicular steroidogenesis and the pathophysiological mechanism of LOH in the aging male.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Pyrotinib is an oral, irreversible pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) / HER1, HER2, and HER4. Lapatinib in combination with capecitabine is one of the standards of care for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who have received prior taxanes, anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab.
Methods: We conducted an open label, multicenter, randomized phase II trial to comparatively evaluate efficacy and safety of pyrotinib + capecitabine (PC) or lapatinib + capecitabine (LC) in women with HER2-positive MBC. Key eligibility criteria included prior treatment with taxanes, anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab, ≤2 prior chemotherapies for metastatic disease, no CNS metastases, and no prior treatment with HER2 targeted TKI. Eligible patients were randomized 1:1 to PC Arm (P 400 mg QD D1–21 + C 1000 mg/m2BID D1–14, 21-D cycle) or LC Arm (L 1250 mg QD D1–21 + C 1000 mg/m2BID D1–14, 21-D cycle). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by investigator, and secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), time to progression (TTP), duration of response (DoR), overall survival (OS), and safety.
Results: Between May 2015 and Mar 2016, 128 patients (65 in PC arm and 63 in LC arm) were enrolled in this study. Median age was 48 years (range 25-70), ECOG performance status was 0 (53.9%) or 1 (46.1%), 62.5% had hormone receptor-positive disease, 76.6% had visceral disease and 53.9% had received prior trastuzumab in (neo)adjuvant and/or mestastatic setting. Baseline characteristics were well balanced in two arms. Median follow-up time was 15.0 months. ORR was 78.5% in PC arm and 57.1% in LC arm (p=0.01), Median PFS was 18.1 months in PC arm and 7.0 months in LC arm (hazard ratio 0.363; 95% CI 0.228, 0.579; p<0.0001), PFS benefit in PC arm compared to LC arm was observed irrespective of prior trastuzumab or not. Treatment related Grade 3-4 toxicities occurred in >2% patients in PC arm vs LC arm included hand-foot syndrome (21.5% vs 19.0%), diarrhea (13.8% vs 4.8%), decreased neutrophil (7.7% vs 1.6%), decreased WBC (6.2% vs 1.6%), vomiting (4.6% vs 0%), increased AST (3.1% vs 1.6%), decreased hemoglobin (3.1% vs 1.6%), increased total bilirubin (0% vs 4.8%) and increased conjugated bilirubin (0% vs 3.2%).
Conclusions: In women with HER2-positive MBC previously treated with taxanes, anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab, pyrotinib + capecitabine yield statistically significant better PFS and ORR than lapatinib + capecitabine in this randomized phase II trial. Phase III study is ongoing to validate this finding.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Chemotherapy (including paclitaxel) remains the predominant treatment for metastatic TNBC but clinical outcomes remain poor. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches are needed. Atezolizumab blocks the binding of PD-L1 to its receptors PD-1 and B7.1, thus restoring tumor-specific T cell immunity. TNBC is a rational target for atezolizumab therapy due to high PD-L1 expression on tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) and elevated T cell tumor infiltration. Furthermore, combining chemotherapy with atezolizumab is hypothesized to enhance anti-tumor immune response via neoantigen release. Atezolizumab alone and in combination with nab-paclitaxel has demonstrated promising clinical benefit in metastatic TNBC and was well tolerated, with no exacerbation of chemotherapy-associated adverse events. Atezolizumab in combination with nab-paclitaxel is being further investigated as 1L TNBC treatment in IMpassion130. IMpassion131 is a global, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of 1L atezolizumab + paclitaxel vs placebo + paclitaxel in patients with untreated, inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic TNBC. (NCT03125902)
Methods: Eligibility criteria include patients with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic TNBC, histologically confirmed; de novo or recurrent disease after early breast cancer treated with chemotherapy ≥ 12 months prior; eligible for taxane monotherapy; no prior chemotherapy or targeted systemic therapy for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic disease; ECOG PS 0-1 and measurable disease by RECIST v1.1. Exclusion criteria include known symptomatic CNS disease, prior immunotherapy and a history of autoimmune disease. Approximately 495 patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive atezolizumab (840 mg) or placebo (q2w; days 1 and 15 of 28-day cycle) plus paclitaxel (90 mg/m2; days 1, 8, 15 of 28-day cycle) until disease progression. Stratification factors are PD-L1 expression on tumor-infiltrating IC (IC0 < 1% vs IC1/2/3 ≥ 1% with VENTANA SP142 IHC assay), prior taxane therapy, presence of liver metastases and geographical region. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) measured by RECIST v1.1. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), 12- and 18-month OS rates, 12-month PFS rate, objective response rate, duration of response, and safety. Tumor biopsies will be collected at baseline, on treatment and at disease progression to assess for biomarkers of treatment response and immune escape.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Current breast cancer knowledge is based largely on studies conducted in western populations. Their findings may not be generalizable to Asian women because of ethnic, genetic and lifestyle differences. Neratinib (N) is an irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor of HER1, 2 and 4. The international, randomized, placebo (P)-controlled phase III ExteNET trial showed that 1 year (yr) of N after trastuzumab (T)-based adjuvant therapy significantly improved 2-yr invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) in patients (pts) with early-stage HER2+ breast cancer (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.50–0.91; p=0.009) [Chan et al. Lancet Oncol 2016]. The significant iDFS benefit with N was shown to be durable after 5 yrs' follow-up (HR 0.73; 95% CI 0.57-0.92; p=0.008) [Martin et al. ESMO 2017]. We report efficacy and safety findings from pts enrolled from Asian centers (China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan) on the ExteNET trial to better characterize the effects of N in Asian women.
Methods: Pts with early-stage HER2+ breast cancer were randomly assigned to oral N 240 mg/day or P for 1 yr after standard primary therapy and T-based adjuvant therapy. Antidiarrheal prophylaxis was not required by protocol. Data concerning disease recurrences were collected prospectively during yr 1-2 post-randomization, and from medical records during yr 3–5 post-randomization. Primary endpoint: iDFS. HR (95% CI) estimated using Cox proportional-hazards models stratified by nodal status, hormone-receptor status and prior T regimen. Data cut-off: 2-yr analysis, July 2014; 5-yr analysis, March 2017. Clinicaltrials.gov:NCT00878709.
Results: Of 2840 randomized pts (N, n=1420; P, n=1420), 341 (12%) were enrolled from Asian centers (N, n=165; P, n=176). Baseline characteristics: median age 53 yr; hormone receptor-positive 48%. Median treatment duration was similar in both groups (N, 351 days; P, 352 days). iDFS events in Asian vs ITT populations are shown in the Table.

The incidence of grade 3/4 diarrhea with N was slightly higher in Asian pts (46.1% vs ITT, 39.8%). All other grade 3/4 adverse events with N were rare among Asian pts (elevated ALT, mucosal inflammation, 2 pts each; other events, 1 pt each). Compliance with N in Asian pts was also improved (71% vs ITT, 61%).
Conclusions: In Asian pts enrolled into ExteNET, compliance with N was better and the magnitude of N effect was similar or greater that that observed in the ITT population. Although N-related grade 3/4 diarrhea was more common in Asian pts than in the ITT population, all other grade 3/4 events were rare. Despite small pt numbers, our analyses suggest that the findings from ExteNET are applicable to Asian pts, and support the conclusion that N reduces disease recurrences in Asian pts with early-stage HER2+ breast cancer after T-based adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the Phase III OlympiAD trial (NCT02000622, D0819C00003), olaparib (Lynparza™) showed a significant progression-free survival (PFS) improvement compared with chemotherapy treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in patients (pts) with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and a germline BRCA mutation (gBRCAm) (Robson et al. NEJM 2017). Here, we present data from a subgroup analysis of Asian pts. It is not yet known whether Asian pts, in comparison with the global patient population, may experience instances of differential toxicity with olaparib therapy.
Methods
OlympiAD, an open-label, multicenter, Phase III trial, randomized (2:1) pts with HER2-negative mBC and a gBRCAm to olaparib tablets (300 mg twice daily) or single-agent TPC (21-day cycles of capecitabine, eribulin or vinorelbine). Pts must have received ≤2 lines of chemotherapy for mBC and prior anthracycline and taxane in the adjuvant, neo-adjuvant or metastatic setting. Primary endpoint was PFS by blinded independent central review (BICR). Region (Asia, Europe, North America, South America) was a pre-defined subgroup for PFS.
Results
The Asian subgroup analysis included pts randomized at centers in China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Of 87 Asian pts randomized (median age 46 years), 86 received study treatment (n=59, olaparib; n=27, TPC). In the olaparib group, 29/59 (49%) had estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and/or progesterone receptor positive (PR+) tumors, and 30/59 (51%) had triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). In the TPC group, 13/28 (46%) had ER+/PR+ tumors and 15/28 (54%) had TNBC. The primary endpoint, PFS by BICR, favored olaparib with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.53 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.29–0.97; median 5.7 vs 4.2 months; 77% maturity), and was supported by investigator-assessed PFS (HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.16–0.55). In the overall OlympiAD study population (N=302), the PFS by BICR favored olaparib with a HR of 0.58 (95% CI 0.43–0.80; P=0.0009). Within the Asian subgroup, objective response rate (ORR) (RECIST) was 64% for olaparib versus 38% for the TPC group. Time to second progression, PFS2, was longer for pts receiving olaparib versus TPC (HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.22–0.84; 57% maturity). Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 46% and 59% of pts receiving olaparib and TPC, respectively. The most common grade ≥3 AE was anemia (olaparib, 20%; TPC, 15%). In both treatment groups, 7% of pts discontinued study treatment due to AEs (n=4, olaparib; n=2, TPC). The tolerability profile of olaparib between the subgroup of Asian pts and the overall OlympiAD population will be examined in our data presentation.
Conclusion
Olaparib demonstrated an efficacy benefit compared with TPC in pts with HER2-negative mBC and a gBRCAm in this subgroup analysis of Asian pts from the Phase III OlympiAD trial. Discontinuation rates due to toxicity were low, highlighting that olaparib was generally well-tolerated. The efficacy of olaparib within the subgroup of Asian pts was consistent with that shown for the full OlympiAD dataset; consistent hazard ratios were shown in favor of olaparib using the primary endpoint of PFS by BICR, and for the key secondary endpoints of PFS by investigator assessment, PFS2, and ORR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Tamoxifen(TAM), a selective estrogen receptor modulator(SERM), is the most widely used adjuvant endocrine therapy for premenopausal breast cancer patients. Cytochrome P-450(CYP450) enzyme, CYP2D6, is involved in the conversion of tamoxifen to endoxifen which is one of the main active metabolites of tamoxifen in vivo. Variants of CYP2D6 gene may result in a decreased enzyme activity and lead to poor prognosis of the patients. Different from caucasians, the most common polymorphism among Chinese women is allelic variant *10, which generates a 188 C to T transition, resulting in a lower activity of the enzyme. Based on some retrospective studies, tamoxifen-treated patients with the CYP2D6*10 T/T genotype have a worse clinical outcome. Toremifene(TOR), another kind of SERM is not metabolited by CYP2D6 enzyme thus may not be influenced by its polymorphism. We conducted this study to validate the association between CYP2D6*10 genotype and the outcomes of patients receiving TAM and TOR respectively.
Methods: A total of 276 patients with primary early-stage ER-positive breast cancer received adjuvant tamoxifen (n=169) or toremifene (n=107) therapy at Natinal Cancer Center from 2004-2012 were analyzed. All patients had received 5-year endocrine therapy after completion of surgery. TaqMan SNP genotyping assays was performed on CYP2D6*10 from blood samples. The association of CYP2D6 *10 genotype with disease free survival (DFS) and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed in patients receiving tamoxifen and toremifen.
Results: 32.6% (90 of 276) of the patients were homozygous for wild-type C/C genotype, 47.1% (130 of 276) were heterozygous for C/T genotype, and 20.3% (56 of 276) were homozygous for variant T/T genotype. The frequency of CYP2D6 *10 allele in our study was 43.8%. The 5-year DFS rate for tamoxifen and toremifene treatment group were 81.6% and 83.2% respectively. There was no significant difference of DFS between the two groups(P=0.274). Among 169 patients in tamoxifen group, 5-year DFS rate was considerably lower in patients with homozygous variant T/T genotype than those with wild-type C/C or C/T genotype (73.4% versus 83.2%, P=0.004). And the T/T genotype was found to be a significant prognostic marker for DFS in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio = 4.7; P<0.001) after adjusting for patient's characteristics mentioned above. For the toremifene group, there was no difference of DFS between T/T genotype and the others(P=0.332). For all the 56 homozygous variant T/T genotype patients, patients receiving toremifene treatment had a much higher 5-year DFS rate than those receiving tamoxifen but unfortunately it was not statistically significant (90.0% versus 73.4%, P=0.192).
Conclusions: About one fifth of Chinese breast cancer patients had homozygous T/T genotype which might get less benefit from TAM adjuvant treatment. Toremifene may be a better option for this kind of patients. Further large-scale prospective clinical studies are warranted to validate this concept.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: HER2 overexpression/amplification occurs in ˜15–20% of primary breast cancers (BC) in western populations, although the incidence of HER2+ BC in Asia may be higher (20–44% depending on the country). Neratinib is an irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor of HER1, 2 and 4, with demonstrated efficacy in trastuzumab-pretreated and trastuzumab-naïve HER2+ metastatic BC. To better understand the effects of neratinib in Asian patients (pts), we performed a pooled analysis of 6 phase I/II clinical trials in pts with metastatic HER2+ BC or other solid tumors.
Methods: Six prospective phase I/II or II clinical studies of neratinib, alone or in combination with other targeted or chemotherapeutic agents, in pts with metastatic HER2+ BC or other solid tumors were included. A pooled analysis of data from these trials was performed to compare efficacy and safety outcomes with neratinib-based therapy in pts from centers in Asian countries (China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan) vs pts from other regions (Europe, North/South America, Australasia). Analyses were descriptive in nature. All trials were registered (Clinicaltrials.gov identifiers: NCT00445458; NCT00706030; NCT00398567; NCT00915018; NCT00741260; NCT00300781).
Results: A total of 966 pts were included (Asia, n=329; other regions, n=637). Most pts had HER2+ BC (96.8%); the remaining pts had other solid tumors (3.2%). Baseline characteristics were similar in pts from Asia vs other regions: median age, 52 vs 53 years; ECOG performance status 0/1, 98% vs 97%; hormone receptor-positive, 50% vs 48%. Neratinib was given as monotherapy (n=136) or in combination with paclitaxel (n=352), capecitabine (n=105), vinorelbine (n=91) or trastuzumab (n=45). Median duration of neratinib treatment in pts from Asia vs other regions was 338 vs 213 days; 47.3% vs 26.5% of pts received treatment for >1 year. Efficacy outcomes in pts with HER2+ BC are summarized in the table.

Incidence rates of grade 3/4 adverse events (Asia, 62.4% vs other regions, 66.0%) and grade 3/4 diarrhea were similar in both cohorts (25.6% vs 27.2%), but pts from Asia appeared to experience more grade 3/4 hematological events (neutropenia: 21.4% vs 9.8%; leukopenia: 13.0% vs 4.9%). Dose modifications were similar between cohorts, but Asian pts were less likely to withdraw from therapy (2.1% vs other regions, 4.7%).
Conclusions: Asian pts in the pooled metastatic trials appeared to have better ORR, CBR and PFS with neratinib-based therapy than pts from other regions. The safety and tolerability profile of neratinib was broadly similar between regions, except for a higher rate of grade 3/4 hematological events among Asian pts; however, Asian pts were less likely to withdraw from neratinib and stayed on treatment longer, a possible contributing factor to the better clinical outcomes observed in this cohort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To understand the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) comorbidity in rural China and to identify factors associated with TB-DM comorbidity and screening efficacy. METHODS A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out in four counties in eastern rural China. All TB patients newly registered from April 2013 to March 2014 were screened for DM using fasting blood glucose (FBG). Screening-positive patients were further examined using glycosylated haemoglobin A1C (HbA1c). RESULTS Ninety-seven (7.7%) of the 1252 recruited TB patients had DM, 44 (45.4%) of whom were newly diagnosed. The DM-TB patients were significantly older than non-diabetics (mean age 57 ± 13 years vs. 49 ± 19 years, P < 0.001). The risk of DM-TB was higher in patients aged >40 years (OR 3.039) and in overweight patients (OR 2.595). The number needed to screen (NNS) among TB patients to identify one case of DM was 12.97. The NNS to identify one new DM patient (27.4) was lower in participants aged >40 years (20.5), those who were illiterate (19.9), those with a family history of DM (9.3), those with missing bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination (11.3), current smokers (14.2) and those with body mass index >24 (11.4). CONCLUSION Regular DM screening in TB patients is practical in rural China. Better efficacy of DM-TB detection could be obtained by screening high-risk populations, such as overweight TB patients or those with a family history of DM.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events(GRACE) discharge score for long-term out-of-hospital death in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after drug-eluting stents (DES) and with Dual-antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT). Methods: Our study was a prospective, observational, single center (Fuwai Hospital of China) study.A total of 6 431consecutive ACS patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)between January 2013 and December 2013 were involved.The primary endpoint was all-cause death and second endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, stent thrombosis or stroke. Results: Finally, 5 867 ACS patients who were received DES with DAPT and had no in-hospital event included in this study, and 59 (1.01%) death and 608 (10.36%) MACCE were reported during 2-year follow-up after discharge.GRACE score was significantly higher among death patients than those survivalpatients (94± 28 vs 78± 24, P<0.001). According to risk stratification of GRACE discharge score, as compared to the low-risk group, death risk in high-risk group was 6.73 times (HR=6.73, 95%CI 3.53-12.84; P<0.001) higher, but could not distinguish between the moderate and low risk group (HR=1.61, 95%CI 0.88-2.95; P=0.124). The GRACE score showed predictive value in ACS patients after DESand with DAPT (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC)=0.661; 95%CI 0.586-0.736, P<0.001). In subgroup analysis, GRACE score also showed predictive value both in unstable angina pectoris (UAP)(AUROC=0.660, 95%CI 0.576-0.744; P<0.001) and acute myocardial infarction(AMI)subgroup (AUROC=0.748, 95%CI 0.631-0.864; P=0.001). Conclusion: GRACE discharge score shows prognostic value for long-term out-of-hospital death in ACS patients undergoing PCI with DES and DAPT, and demonstrates good risk stratification of high and low-risk of death.

Abstract
The adsorption of alkali and tetraalkylammonium cations on Pt is investigated using surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy and carbon monoxide as a probe molecule. Alkali cations exhibit a stronger adsorption than organic cations, with potassium showing the strongest effect, followed by sodium and lithium.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the treatment effect of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) in patients with acute severe hyponatremia. Methods Eleven patients with severe acute hyponatremia, including 6 males and 5 females, aged 25–61 years (mean age 48.36), were treated with CVVH. Hyponatremia occurred 38–48 hours prior to the initiation of CVVH. Results All patients tolerated CVVH well, with an average treatment duration of 57.19 (45.6–86) hours. During CVVH, the serum sodium concentration increased significantly from 100.9±3.99 mmol/L at initiation of CVVH to 140.3±1.6 mmol/L after 48 hours of treatment (P<0.01). The serum osmolarity increased concurrently, from 216.7±7.4 mOsm/kgH2O to 295.0±4.2 mOsm/kgH2O (P<0.01). The Glasgow scores and APACHE II scores in these patients improved significantly during treatment. Conclusions CVVH is a safe and effective option for the treatment of patients with severe acute hyponatremia due to its slow and continuous nature.

Abstract
Aim The molecular adsorbent recirculating system (M.A.R.S.) is widely used as liver support therapy in patients with hepatic dysfunction. The goal of this study was to measure changes in dialysate albumin and bilirubin concentrations during clinical MARS treatments. Methods Eight patients with acute liver dysfunction and hyperbilirubinemia were enrolled in this study. Five of them received a total of 10 treatments with MARS, in which 600 mL of 20% human albumin was used as dialysate, continuously regenerated by two adsorbent columns in the circuit. Three patients received 4 treatments of a modified MARS, in which the two adsorbent columns were bypassed in the first course for 4 h, and then connected to the circuit in the second course for another 4 h. The total, conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin (TB, CB, UCB) and albumin concentrations in serum and albumin dialysate were dynamically measured, and the adsorbent column inlet pressures were recorded during each session. In one session, dialysate albumin levels were measured during the priming process, at the time points prior to the priming process, immediately after priming, and at the end of the treatment. Results During MARS therapies, the reduction ratio of serum TB, CB and UCB was 26.6±9.0%, 29.5±9.6% and 14.8±12.3%, respectively. The molar ratio of TB/albumin in serum was approximately 20-fold higher than dialysate at all time points. A significant albumin concentration decrease from baseline in the dialysate was found (mean±SD, 34.6±16.6%). For the first four hours of modified treatments, in which only albumin dialysis without albumin regeneration by adsorbent columns was performed, the dialysate albumin decrease was substantially smaller (mean, 8.3±1.5%). After switching to standard MARS, there was a further decrease in the dialysate albumin concentration of 35.1±14.5%. In one session, dialysate albumin concentrations were measured during the priming process, and levels decreased from 196.9 g/L to 144.4 g/L. Adsorber inlet pressure increased from 40±10mmHg at the start of priming to 150±50mmHg at the end of priming, and further increased to 340±100mmHg at the end of treatment. Conclusion There is a significant reduction in dialysate albumin concentration during MARS therapy. Binding of albumin to the adsorbent columns used for albumin regeneration is largely responsible for this decrease.
