Abstract
AIM To investigate the feasibility of non-enhanced and free-breathing whole-heart magnetic resonance coronary angiography (MRCA) using multishot gradient-echo planar imaging (MSG-EPI). MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 29 healthy volunteers were recruited for free-breathing whole-heart MRCA acquisition using the MSG-EPI sequence and fast gradient echo (GRE) sequence. After the examination, the actual scanning times, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the left main (LM) coronary artery, subjective quality scores for each segment, and evaluable length of the coronary artery were recorded and statistically analysed. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the SNRLM of the MSG-EPI sequence and fast GRE sequence (p=0.130), but the CNRLM of the MSG-EPI sequence was higher (p=0.001). The subjective quality score of the mid- and distal left anterior descending branch as well as the distal circumflex branch of the coronary artery in the MSG-EPI sequence was higher than that in the fast GRE sequence (p=0.003, 0.001, and 0.003, respectively). The evaluable length of the left anterior descending branch and the circumflex branch was better using the MSG-EPI sequence than that of the fast GRE sequence (p=0.015 and < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, the scanning time of the MSG-EPI sequence was 54.5% less than that of the fast GRE sequence (p<0.001). CONCLUSION The MSG-EPI sequence improves the subjective and objective image quality of MRCA as well as reduces the scanning time.

Abstract
The study explored the clinical significance of fetal loss of heterozygosity (LOH) identified by single-nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array). We retrospectively reviewed data from pregnant women who underwent invasive diagnostic procedures at prenatal diagnosis centers in southeastern China from December 2016 to December 2021. SNP array was performed by the Affymetrix CytoScan 750 K array platform. Fetuses with LOH were further identified by parental verification, MS-MLPA, and/or trio whole-exome sequencing (trio-WES). The genetic results, fetal clinical manifestations, and perinatal outcome were analyzed. Of 11,062 fetuses, 106 (0.96%) had LOH exhibiting a neutral copy number, 88 (83.0%) had LOH in a single chromosome, whereas 18 (17.0%) had multiple LOHs on different chromosomes. Sixty-six fetuses had ultrasound anomalies (UAs), most frequently fetal growth restriction (18/66 (27.3%)). Parental SNP array verification was performed in 21 cases and trio-WES in 21 cases. Twelve cases had clinically relevant uniparental disomy, five had pathogenic variants, four had likely pathogenic variants, six had variants of unknown significance, and eight had identity by descent. The rate of adverse pregnancy outcomes in fetuses with LOH and UAs (24/66 (36.4%)) was higher than in those without UAs (6/40 (15.0%)) (p < 0.05). LOH is not uncommon. Molecular genetic testing techniques, including parental SNP array verification, trio-WES, methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, regular and systematic ultrasonic monitoring, and placental study, can accurately assess the prognosis and guide the management of the affected pregnancy.

Abstract
Chromosomal abnormalities are the most common etiology of early spontaneous miscarriage. However, traditional karyotyping of chorionic villus samples (CVSs) is limited by cell culture and its low resolution. The objective of our study was to investigate the efficiency of molecular karyotyping technology for genetic diagnosis of early missed abortion tissues. Chromosome analysis of 1191 abortion CVSs in early pregnancy was conducted from August 2016 to June 2021; 463 cases were conducted via copy-number variations sequencing (CNV-seq)/quantitative fluorescent-polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) and 728 cases were conducted using SNP array. Clinically significant CNVs of CVSs were identified to clarify the cause of miscarriage and to guide the couples' subsequent pregnancies. Among these, 31 cases with significant maternal cell contamination were removed from the study. Among the remaining 1160 samples, 751 cases (64.7%) with genetic abnormalities were identified, of which, 531 (45.8%) were single aneuploidies, 31 (2.7%) were multiple aneuploidies, 50 (4.3%) were polyploidies, 54 (4.7%) were partial aneuploidies, 77 (6.6%) had submicroscopic CNVs (including 25 with clinically significant CNVs and 52 had variants of uncertain significance), and 8 cases (0.7%) were uniparental disomies. Our study suggests that both SNP array and CNV-seq/QF-PCR are reliable, robust, and high-resolution technologies for genetic diagnosis of miscarriage.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To identify selection criteria linked to outcomes in patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for metastatic tumors of the urinary tract (UT). MATERIALS/METHODS Single institution retrospective analysis of SBRT treated patients for oligometastatic/progressive UT tumors from 2006-2022. Charts were queried for M1 status at diagnosis or during disease course, treatment details (surgery, SBRT, systemic therapy), metabolic status (diabetes [DM], BMI) and outcomes. A linear quadratic formula was used to calculate the biologically effective dose (BED) using an α/β of 10 for tumor. Descriptive statistics portrayed the cohort, and analyses were done at patient and site level. Time-to-event analyses, including overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) from SBRT, were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression was used for univariable (UVA) and multivariable analyses (MVA) to identify predictors of outcomes. RESULTS A total of 35 patients were treated at 44 metastatic sites, including: bone (25%), node (36.4%), lung (20.5%), soft tissue (13.6%) and liver (4.5%). Most were male (74.3%) with a median age of 70 (range: 51-89), without DM (60%) having a median BMI of 29.8, and ECOG <2 (97.1%) at time of SBRT. Six (17.1%) patients were M1 at diagnosis. Of the 29 non-M1 patients, 86.2% received definitive local therapy (LT), 58.6% had at least T3/N+ disease, 75.8% received systemic therapy with a median of 2 agents (range: 1-6) prior to SBRT. Sixteen (45.7%) received immunotherapy (IO) with most receiving this before (75%) and after (56.2%) SBRT. Six patients had positive PD-L1 status (n = 10). The median RT dose, fractionation and BED was 40 Gy (range: 14-46), 5 fractions, and 72 (range: 28-132), respectively. At a median follow-up of 34.8, the median OS was 18.4 m (range: 9.3-27.4) with a 2-year OS of 35.9%. At patient level, 62.8% recurred after SBRT. The median PFS after SBRT was 5.3 m (range: 1.8-8.7) with a 2-yr PFS of 29.3%. Patient-level PFS was improved with LT (6.7 vs 1.4 m; p = 0.001) and DM (NR vs 2.9 m; p = 0.015), whereas improved OS was related with LT (18.9 vs 6.6 m; p = 0.03), DM (p = 0.04), ECOG (p = 0.004), and no relapse after SBRT (NR vs 9.8 m; p <0.001). Exposure to < 3 systemic agents prior to SBRT portended better PFS (6.7 vs 2.6 m; p = 0.04) without any impact by IO. At site level, 20.4% of sites had local relapse with 4 being the first event. Site was related with PFS (p = 0.009) with order of increased relapse risk being liver > bone > soft tissue > node > lung. No dosimetric feature was related with recurrence risk. On MVA, both DM (p = 0.02) and LT (p = 0.002) were predictive for PFS. Only recurrence after SBRT predicted for OS on MVA (HR: 6.7, 95% CI: 1.4-31; p = 0.014). In the IO subset, median PFS was 5.3 m and OS was 9.4 m, with no difference seen with IO-SBRT sequence or PDL1 status. CONCLUSION Optimized selection criteria for metastasis-directed therapy in patients with UT tumors is unclear, notably with IO. Future studies may benefit by assessing circulating tumor markers prior to SBRT.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To demonstrate the feasibility of high-dose rate brachytherapy (HDR BT) as monotherapy for unfavorable intermediate risk (UIR) prostate cancer by comparing survival outcomes of HDR BT alone against external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) + HDR BT boost, +/- androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) using propensity-score matched (PSM) data. MATERIALS/METHODS This retrospective study queried two data registries collecting patient data from 1991 to present. 633 patients with UIR prostate cancer treated with HDR BT alone, HDR BT+EBRT or HDR+EBRT+ADT were included. HDR BT patients received 42-45Gy/6 fractions (fx) or 27 Gy/2 fx. For HDR BT+EBRT, the HDR dose was 20-24 Gy/2 fx, 24 Gy/4 fx, or 15 Gy/1 fx. EBRT patients received 45 Gy/25 fx to the prostate +/- pelvic nodes. GU/GI toxicities were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0. Time-to-event analyses were carried out to evaluate the relationship between treatments and five primary endpoints of interest: freedom from biochemical recurrence (FFBC), freedom from distant metastasis (FFDM), freedom from local failure (FFLF), cancer specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) at 5 years. PSM was performed with one-to-n matching. Logistic regression was used to estimate the respective propensity scores. The five potential confounders identified were T-stage, Gleason score, pre-treatment PSA, age, and percent positive cores. Balance was checked using the standardized mean difference of covariates. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted on the matched data. Toxicity analysis was performed via association between a change in pre- and post-treatment GU/GI toxicity status and the treatment group, as well as incidence of post-treatment severe GI/GU toxicity (grade 3 or higher) and the treatment group. RESULTS Univariate analysis with Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test comparison between the three cohorts demonstrated no significant difference in all survival outcomes FFBC, FFDM, FFLF, CSS, OS (p = 0.15, 0.19, 0.29, 0.57, 0.28, respectively). Multivariate analysis with Cox proportional hazard regression showed no differences in HR for FFBC and OS (p = 0.95, 0.11) with addition of EBRT, or with EBRT+ADT (p = 0.17, 0.24); no fit was obtainable for FFDM, CSS, FFLF. Toxicities between the three cohorts were not significantly different when comparing post-treatment and baseline GI/GU symptoms (p = 0.53/1). No Grade 2 or 3 GI toxicities were identified, while 8%/1% HDR patients, 10%/1% HDR+EBRT patients, and 12%/2% HDR+EBRT+ADT patients experienced Grade 2/3 GU toxicities. The incidence of grade 3 or higher GU toxicities between the three groups was not significantly different (p = 0.91). CONCLUSION This propensity-score matched study demonstrates the feasibility of HDR BT alone for effective treatment of UIR prostate cancer when compared to HDR+EBRT or HDR+EBRT+ADT, while potentially minimizing the added toxicities of EBRT and the undesirable side effect profile of ADT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the development present situation of the department of critical care medicine in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as Inner Mongolia), in order to promote the standardized and homogeneous development of critical care medicine in Inner Mongolia, and also provide a reference for discipline construction and resource allocation. METHODS A survey study was conducted in comprehensive intensive care unit (ICU) of tertiary and secondary hospitals in Inner Mongolia by online questionnaire survey and telephone data verification. The questionnaire was based on the Guidelines for the Construction and Management of Intensive Care Units (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines) issued by the National Health Commission in 2009 and the development trend of the discipline. The questionnaire covered six aspects, including hospital basic information, ICU basic information, personnel allocation, medical quality management, technical skill and equipment configuration. The questionnaire was distributed in September 2022, and it was filled out by the discipline leaders or department heads of each hospital. RESULTS As of October 24, 2022, a total of 101 questionnaires had been distributed, 85 questionnaires had been recovered, and the questionnaire recovery rate had reached 84.16%, of which 71 valid questionnaires had been collected in a total of 71 comprehensive ICU. (1) There were noticeable regional differences in the distribution of comprehensive ICU in Inner Mongolia, with a relatively weak distribution in the east and west, and the overall distribution was uneven. The development of critical care medicine in Inner Mongolia was still lacking. (2) Basic information of hospitals: the population and economy restricted the development of ICU. The average number of comprehensive ICU beds in the western region was only half of that in the central region (beds: 39.0 vs. 86.0), and the average number of ICU beds in the eastern region was in the middle (83.6 beds), which was relatively uneven. (3) Basic information of ICU: among the 71 comprehensive ICU surveyed, there were 44 tertiary hospitals and 27 secondary hospitals. The ratio of ICU beds to total beds in tertiary hospitals was significantly lower than that in secondary hospitals [(1.59±0.81)% vs. (2.11±1.07)%, P < 0.05], which were significantly lower than the requirements of the Guidelines of 2%-8%. The utilization rate of ICU in tertiary and secondary hospitals [(63.63±22.40)% and (44.65±20.66)%, P < 0.01] were both lower than the bed utilization rate required by the Guidelines (75% should be appropriate). (4) Staffing of ICU: there were 376 doctors and 1 117 nurses in tertiary hospitals, while secondary hospitals had 122 doctors and 331 nurses. There were significant differences in the composition ratio of the titles of doctors, the degree of doctors, and the titles of nurses between tertiary and secondary hospitals (all P < 0.05). Most of the doctors in tertiary hospitals had intermediate titles (attending physicians accounted for 41.49%), while most of the doctors in secondary hospitals had junior titles (resident physicians accounted for 43.44%). The education level of doctors in tertiary hospitals was generally higher than that in secondary hospitals (doctors: 2.13% vs. 0, masters: 37.24% vs. 8.20%). The proportion of nurses in tertiary hospitals was significantly lower than that in secondary hospitals (17.01% vs. 24.47%). The ratio of ICU doctors/ICU beds [(0.64±0.27)%, (0.59±0.34)%] and ICU nurses/ICU beds [(1.76±0.56)%, (1.51±0.48)%] in tertiary and secondary hospitals all failed to meet the requirements above 0.8 : 1 and 3 : 1 of the Guidelines. (5) Medical quality management of ICU: compared with secondary hospitals, the proportion of one-to-one drug-resistant bacteria care in tertiary hospitals (65.91% vs. 40.74%), multimodal analgesia and sedation (90.91% vs. 66.67%), and personal digital assistant (PDA) barcode scanning (43.18% vs. 14.81%) were significantly higher (all P < 0.05). (6) Technical skills of ICU: in terms of technical skills, the proportion of bronchoscopy, blood purification, jejunal nutrition tube placement and bedside ultrasound projects carried out in tertiary hospitals were higher than those in secondary hospitals (84.09% vs. 48.15%, 88.64% vs. 48.15%, 61.36% vs. 55.56%, 88.64% vs. 70.37%, all P < 0.05). Among them, the placement of jejunal nutrition tube, bedside ultrasound and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were mainly completed independently in tertiary hospitals, while those in secondary hospitals tended to be completed in cooperation. (7) Equipment configuration of ICU: in terms of basic equipment, the ratio of the total number of ventilators/ICU beds in tertiary and secondary hospitals [0.77% (0.53%, 1.07%), 0.88% (0.63%, 1.38%)], and the ratio of injection pump/ICU beds [1.70% (1.00%, 2.56%), 1.25% (0.75%, 1.88%)] didn't meet the requirements of the Guidelines. The equipment ratio was insuffcient, which means that the basic needs of development had not been met yet. CONCLUSIONS The development of comprehensive ICU in Inner Mongolia has tended to mature, but there is still a certain gap in the development scale, personnel ratio and instruments and equipment compared with the Guidelines. Moreover, the comprehensive ICU appears the characteristics of relatively weak eastern and western regions, and the overall distribution is uneven. Therefore, it is necessary to increase efforts to invest in the construction of the department of critical care medicine.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has shown that gut microbes play an important role in the reproductive endocrine system and the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, whether environmental factors are involved in these gut microbiota alterations has seldom been studied. In this study, we aimed to explore the crucial role of an imbalanced gut microbiota on abnormal ovarian follicle development induced by Cu. A 1:1 matched case-control study with 181 PCOS patients and 181 controls was conducted using a propensity score matching protocol. Information regarding dietary Cu intake was obtained from a face-to-face dietary intake interview. Alterations in the gut microbiota were detected by high-throughput 16 S rDNA sequencing. The results showed that dietary Cu intake was positively correlated with the risk of PCOS, and the risk threshold was approximately 1.992 mg/d. Compared with those with dietary Cu intakes lower than 1.992 mg/d, those who had a higher dietary Cu intake had a 1.813-fold increased risk of PCOS (OR=1.813, 95% CI: 1.150-2.857). PCOS patients had a lower relative abundance of Bacteroides than controls (P = 0.003), and Bacteroides played a partial mediating role between dietary Cu exposure and PCOS (Pindirect effect=0.026, 95% CI: 0.002-0.072). In addition, an animal model of Cu exposure through the diet showed that Cu can induce gut microbiota disorder; increase serum levels of LPS, MDA, and IL-6; and alter host ovarian steroidogenesis to affect ovarian follicle development. Staphylococcus played a partial mediating role between Cu exposure and CYP17A1 (Pg_Staphylococcus=0.083, 95% CI: 0.001-0.228). Overall, this study shows that long-term exposure to high dietary Cu levels can affect the composition of the gut microbiota, cause inflammation and oxidative stress, and then interfere with hormone signaling, ultimately affecting ovarian follicle development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has improved dramatically over the past 3 decades and is evolving. Percutaneous coronary intervention is an alternative means of achieving coronary revascularization. Previous studies comparing the published literature on drug-coated balloon (DCB) and drug-eluting stents have drawn divergent conclusions. We perform a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of DCB and drug-eluting stent in the management of AMI. METHODS This systematic review was registered in the PROSPERO network (registration number: CRD42023397266). We will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis Protocol to accomplish the systematic review protocol. A systematic search will be conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and Weipu Database without any language restrictions from their inception to February 2022. The risk of bias will be assessed independently by 2 authors using parameters defined in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions criteria. Statistical analysis will be performed using the STATA13.0 software (IBM, USA). RESULTS The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis will be publicly available and published in a peer-reviewed journal. CONCLUSION The results of the study will provide the evidence for the application of DCB in the treatment of AMI.

Abstract
To evaluate the correlation between chromosomal abnormalities and fetal aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) with or without additional ultrasound anomalies (UAs). A total of 340 fetuses diagnosed with ARSA by ultrasound between December, 2015, and July, 2021, were included. All cases were subdivided into three groups: (A) 121 (35.6%) cases with isolated ARSA, (B) 91 (26.8%) cases with soft markers, and (C) 128 (37.6%) cases complicated with other UAs. Invasive testing was performed via amniotic fluid or cord blood karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in parallel, and pregnancy outcomes were followed. Karyotype abnormalities were identified in 18/340 (5.3%) patients. Karyotype abnormalities in Groups A, B, and C were 0/121 (0.0%), 7/91 (7.7%), and 11/128 (8.6%), respectively. CMA abnormalities with clinically significant variants were detected in 37/340 (10.9%) cases, of which 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and trisomy 21 accounted for 48.6% (18/37). The overall abnormal CMA with clinically significant variant detection rates in Groups A, B, and C were 3/121(2.5%), 13/91 (14.3%), and 21/128 (16.4%), respectively. There were significant difference in clinically significant CMA anomalies detection rate between Groups A and C (p < 0.05), as well as Groups A and B (p < 0.05). Comparing CMA to karyotyping showed a clinically significant incremental yield in Group C (7.8%, 10/128) compared to Groups A (2.5%, 3/121) and B (6.6%, 6/91) (p > 0.05). Fetal ARSA with additional UAs, concurred with cardiac and extra-cardiac anomalies, constitutes a high-risk factor for chromosomal aberrations, especially for pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variants.

Abstract
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is widely used to screen for common fetal chromosomal aneuploidies. However, the ability of NIPT-Plus to detect copy number variation (CNV) is debatable. Accordingly, we assessed the efficiency of NIPT-Plus to detect clinically significant fetal CNV. We performed a prospective analysis of 31,260 singleton pregnancies, included from June 2017 to December 2020. Cell-free fetal DNA was directly sequenced using the semiconductor sequencing platform for women with high-risk CNV with clinically significant results. Fetal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (or next-generation sequencing) are recommended for invasive diagnostic procedures. Women at low risk with no other abnormal results continued their pregnancies. We analyzed the expanded NIPT results, diagnostic test results, and follow-up information to evaluate its performance in detecting fetal CNV. Of the 31,260 pregnant women who received NIPT-Plus, 31,256 cases were tested successfully, a high risk of clinically significant CNV was detected in 221 cases (0.71%); 18 women refused further diagnosis; 203 women underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis; and 78 true positive cases and 125 false positive cases, with an overall positive predictive value (PPV) of 38.42% and a false positive rate of 0.40%. For known microdeletion/microduplication syndromes (n = 27), the PPVs were 75% DiGeorge syndrome (DGS), 80% 22q11.22 microduplication, 50% Prader-Willi syndrome, and 50% cri-du-chat. For the remaining clinically significant fetal CNVs (n = 175), the combined PPVs were 46.5% (CNVs > 10 Mb) and 28.57% (CNVs ≤ 10 Mb). NIPT-Plus screening for CNV has certain clinical value. NIPT-Plus yielded relatively high PPVs for 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome and DGS, and low to moderate PPVs for other CNVs.

Abstract
BackgroundRelated studies have shown that it is safe for cancer patients to undergo assisted reproduction. However, studies on whether a history of cancer affects long-term reproductive outcomes in women who undergo assisted reproductive technology (ART) are scarce. In this study, we evaluated the long-term reproductive outcomes of patients with malignant tumors undergoing ART treatment and explored the impact of malignancy history on ART outcomes.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed the clinical outcomes of patients with malignant tumors undergoing their first in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles compared with those of age-matched healthy infertile women at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital between January 2003 and October 2020. We evaluated ovarian stimulation outcome, the pregnancy rate, the live birth rate, the risk of adverse obstetric outcomes and birth outcomes.ResultsThis study included 59 patients in the cancer group for data analysis who had a history of malignancy. By matching, a total of 118 healthy infertile women were included in the control group. No statistically significant association was found in terms of age, duration of infertility, BMI, or insemination type between the two groups of patients. Thyroid cancer(45.8%) and gynecologic malignancies (44.07%) were the major cancer types in this study. There were statistically significant differences in the antral follicle count (AFC) (12.00 ± 7.86 vs. 14.90 ± 8.71, P=0.033), length of ovarian stimulation (9.98 ± 2.68 vs. 11.42 ± 2.43, P=0.033) and endometrial thickness on the trigger day (10.16 ± 3.11 vs. 10.84 ± 2.17, P<0.001) between the two groups. The total gonadotropin dose, number of oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate, cleavage rate, high-quality embryo rate, blastocyst rate and first-time embryo-transfer (ET) implantation rate were nonsignificantly lower in the cancer group than in the control group (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the clinical pregnancy rate per ET cycle (32% vs. 40.39%, P=0.156), live birth rate per ET cycle (27% vs. 35.96%, P=0.119), miscarriage rate per ET cycle (5% vs. 4.43%, P=0.779), or preterm delivery rate per ET cycle (11.11% vs. 17.80%, P=0.547) between the two groups. Additionally, regression analysis showed that a history of malignancy was not a risk factor for reproductive outcomes.ConclusionsOverall, it is feasible for women with a history of cancer to conceive using ART is feasible and their long-term reproductive outcomes are similar to these of healthy infertile women. A history of cancer does not decrease the number of retrieved oocytes, increase the risk of adverse obstetric outcomes or affect birth outcomes.

Abstract
Arsenic contamination is a worldwide public health problem, and the effect of arsenic on male reproduction has been extensively studied; however, data on the biotoxicity of arsenic in terms of female reproduction are more scarce. In this study, a human-cell-animal translational strategy was applied to explore the effect of arsenic exposure on ovarian steroidogenesis and its potential mechanism. We conducted a 1:1 propensity score matched case-control study involving 127 diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) cases and 127 healthy controls. The ovarian follicular fluid levels of 21 metal elements, including arsenic, were measured. The results showed that there were significant differences in follicular fluid metal profiles between DOR patients and controls and that arsenic, molybdenum, and strontium played important roles in DOR progression [OR (95 % CI): 2.203 (1.385, 3.503), 2.308 (1.490, 3.575) and 2.922 (1.864, 4.580), respectively]. In the primary ovarian granulosa cell culture model, we found that treatment with 8 μM arsenic for 24 and 48 h induced a decrease in human granulosa cell viability. The estradiol (E2) level was significantly decreased after arsenic exposure (P < 0.05), which was dependent on significant alterations (P < 0.05) in key enzymes in steroidogenesis. In addition, a model for sodium arsenite exposure through water in rats from weaning to sexual maturity was established. We evaluated ovarian development by monitoring the estrous cycle, observing ovarian pathology, and calculating the follicular proportion. RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and bisulfite-sequencing PCR were used to investigate the effect of arsenic exposure on ovarian steroidogenesis and its possible mechanism. The results indicated that steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) was an important target of the steroidogenesis disorder induced by arsenic exposure. Arsenic significantly increased the DNA methylation level (P < 0.05) in the promoter region of SF-1 to reduce its expression, subsequently decreasing the levels of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11A1), and aromatase (CYP19A1) (P < 0.05), leading to premature depletion of ovarian follicles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The petrosal artery supplies several structures at the skull base and is often the focus of various neurointerventional procedures. Therefore, knowledge of its anatomy and variations is important to surgeons and interventionalists. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty latex injected cadaveric heads (40 sides) underwent microsurgical dissection of the petrosal artery. Documentation of the course of the artery and its branches were made. Measurements of the petrosal artery's length and diameter were performed using microcallipers. RESULTS A petrosal artery was identified on all sides. The mean length and diameter of the artery within the middle cranial fossa was 2.4 cm and 0.38 mm, respectively. Branches included the following: dural, ganglionic, V3 branches, branches extending through the foramen ovale, branches directly to the greater petrosal and lesser petrosal nerves, branches to the floor of the hiatus of the greater and lesser petrosal nerves, branch to the arcuate eminence, and superior tympanic artery. No statistically significant differences were noted between male and female specimens, but right-sided petrosal arteries were in general, larger in diameter than left sides. CONCLUSIONS A thorough anatomical knowledge of the petrosal artery and to its relationship to the facial nerve and other neurovascular structures is necessary to facilitate effective endovascular treatment and to preclude facial nerve complications.

Abstract
This study was aimed to explore the renal Doppler ultrasound in the evaluation of renal function in patients with sepsis. Fifty patients with sepsis or septic shock were classified into the acute kidney injury (AKI) group (n =25) and the non-AKI group (n =25) according to whether they had AKI. The measurements of renal resistance index (RRI) and power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) were performed on all patients within 7 days of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). The patient's renal function was assessed. The results showed that the RRI of the two groups showed a slight upward trend over time, and the RRI of the AKI group was higher than that of the non-AKI group. After 7 days in AKI group, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of RRI were 0.745, 0.683, 0.729, 0.856, 0.793, 0.819, and 0.836 (P <0.05). There were no statistically considerable differences in areas under ROC curves between the two groups (P >0.05). The grouping of AKI and the time were both fixed effects, and the individual patients were randomized effects. Besides, the linear models were statistically analyzed. The results showed that the differences between the two groups were statistically insignificant (P >0.05). There was no significant difference in the PDU scores measured at different times within 7 days after ICU admission between the two groups (P >0.05). In conclusion, renal Doppler ultrasound had a good adoption effect in the evaluation of the renal function of patients with severe sepsis, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose Several non-pharmaceutical interventions such as physical distancing, self-isolation, a stay-at-home order, hand washing, and schools and businesses closures were implemented in British Columbia (BC) following the first lab-tested case of COVID-19 on January 26, 2020. These interventions were aimed at minimizing in-person contacts that could potentially lead to new COVID-19 infections. The BC COVID-19 Population Mixing Patterns survey (BC-Mix) was established as a surveillance system to measure behaviour and contact patterns in BC over time to inform the timing of the easing/re-imposition of control measures. We describe the BC-Mix survey design and the demographic characteristics of respondents. Methods & Materials The ongoing repeated online survey was launched in September 2020. Participants are recruited through a variety of social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and community group mailing lists. A follow up survey is sent to participants two to four weeks after completing the first iteration. Survey responses are weighted to BC's population by age, sex, geography, and ethnicity to obtain generalizable estimates. A survey completion rate of at least 33% AND a valid response for the sex questionnaire item AND a valid response for age questionnaire item were required for inclusion in weighting and further analysis. Additional indices such as material and social deprivation index, and residential instability are generated using census and location data. Results As of June 14, 2021, over 58,000 residents of BC had participated in the survey of which 31,007 survey responses were eligible for analysis. Of the eligible participants, about 60% provided consent for monthly follow up and about 26% provided their personal health numbers for linkage with other healthcare utilization databases. Approximately 51% were females 39% were 55 years or older, 63% identified as white or not a visible minority and 48% had at least a university degree. Conclusion The pandemic response is best informed by surveillance systems capable of timely assessment of behaviour patterns. BC-Mix survey respondents represented a large cohort of British Columbians providing near real-time information on behavioural and contact patterns in BC. Data from the BC-Mix survey continues to inform provincial COVID-19-related control measures.

Abstract
Oceanic oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are globally significant sites of biogeochemical cycling where microorganisms deplete dissolved oxygen (DO) to concentrations <20 µM. Amid intense competition for DO in these metabolically challenging environments, aerobic nitrite oxidation may consume significant amounts of DO and help maintain low DO concentrations, but this remains unquantified. Using parallel measurements of oxygen consumption rates and 15N-nitrite oxidation rates applied to both water column profiles and oxygen manipulation experiments, we show that the contribution of nitrite oxidation to overall DO consumption systematically increases as DO declines below 2 µM. Nitrite oxidation can account for all DO consumption only under DO concentrations <393 nM found in and below the secondary chlorophyll maximum. These patterns are consistent across sampling stations and experiments, reflecting coupling between nitrate reduction and nitrite-oxidizing Nitrospina with high oxygen affinity (based on isotopic and omic data). Collectively our results demonstrate that nitrite oxidation plays a pivotal role in the maintenance and biogeochemical dynamics of OMZs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
A person-centred approach to dementia care has been advocated1, but limited literature exists on integration of this into pharmacist undergraduate education. The Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Friends programme was developed to change peoples’ perceptions and promote understanding of living with dementia. In 2019, the School piloted provision of Dementia Friends training; Level 3 MPharm students (n=102) were invited by email to participate as an optional part of a Clinical Therapeutics module. Sixty-three students (61.8%) attended the workshop, which combined Dementia Friends training with an interactive session facilitated by a person living with dementia (PLWD).
Aim
To explore undergraduate pharmacy students’ views and experiences of the Dementia Friends pilot.
Methods
All students who had attended the workshop were invited by email to participate in a focus group during February 2020. Participants provided written informed consent. The topic guide focused on students’ views of workshop delivery, improvements that could be made, their understanding of person-centred care, and the impact of the workshop on their clinical practice. The focus group was audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using thematic analysis.
Results
One focus group was conducted with eight students. Three overarching themes were identified: learning from an expert patient; importance of person-centred care; and dementia education during MPharm degree. Students valued the opportunity to learn from a PLWD and felt it allowed them to relate the condition to a real person: “it felt more personal so you could really connect with them [PLWD] and understand their experience”. Hearing about the ‘lived experience’ helped to contextualise learning from other methods of delivery, e.g. lectures: “you don’t know what’s going on in someone else’s life, and sometimes we’re all a bit quick to judge, I think [the workshop] put that into perspective”. Students described having greater understanding of person-centred care and taking a holistic approach to pharmaceutical care provision for PLWD: “it’s very important to take into account their quality of life…we can focus on the clinical but looking at the person as a whole actually helps their treatment” and “one of the things I found most interesting was that they might not remember the interaction but they will [retain] the feeling or emotion”. Students reported feeling more confident in engaging with PLWD following the workshop, which is something they would not have had the opportunity to learn from lectures alone: “If we hadn’t had that dementia training, I feel like I would still have no confidence chatting to dementia patients”. Students suggested that future Dementia Friends training should be delivered earlier in the MPharm degree course.
Conclusion
This study has shown that Dementia Friends training complemented students’ existing knowledge of dementia and increased their confidence to communicate with PLWD. The use of an expert patient was an effective way of supporting MPharm students to develop a person-centred approach to their professional practice. The study was limited to one university so findings may not be generalisable. However, these data provide a good basis for future development and evaluation of Dementia Friends training provision to MPharm students.

Abstract
A family with a history of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) received prenatal diagnosis of PLP1 gene duplication in a fetus using a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. A 27-year-old pregnant woman was referred for genetic counseling due to her four-year-old son being diagnosed with a suspected classic type of PMD. Amniocentesis was performed at 18 and 3/7 weeks of gestation, and the SNP array was carried out on DNA from the mother, her affected son, and fetus, then further confirmed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Cytogenetic analysis of the fetus showed 46,XY. SNP array analysis revealed that the male fetus did not carry PLP1 gene duplication but the affected boy did, and the mother was a carrier for the duplication of the PLP1 gene. All SNP array results were further confirmed by MLPA. SNP array and MLPA analyses of peripheral blood verified the nonduplication of the PLP1 gene in the infant after birth. At present, the child (without PLP1 duplication) is developing normally. This study preliminarily suggests that SNP array is a sensitive and accurate technology for identifying PLP1 duplication and is feasible for reliable diagnosis, including for the prenatal diagnosis of PMD resulting from PLP1 duplication.

Abstract
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes cannot be accurately identified by G-banding, and the related phenotypes vary greatly. It is essential to specify the origin, size, and gene content of marker chromosomes using molecular cytogenetic techniques. Herein, three fetuses with de novo marker chromosomes were initially identified by G-banding. Single nucleotide polymorphism array and fluorescence in situ hybridization were performed to characterize the origins of the marker chromosomes. The karyotypes of the three fetuses were 47,XY,+mar, 46,X,+mar[32]/45,X[68], and 45,X[62]/46,X,+mar[9]. In case 1, the karyotype was confirmed as 47,XY,+ idic(22)(q11.2). Therefore, the sSMC originated from chromosome 22 and was associated with cat eye syndrome. In case 2, the marker chromosome derived from ring chromosome X, and the karyotype was interpreted as 45,X[68]/46,X,+r(X)(p11.1q21.31)[32]. Meanwhile, the karyotype of case 3 was defined as 45,X[62]/46,X,idic(Y)(q11.2) and the marker chromosome originated from chromosome Y. Case 1 continued the pregnancy, whereas the other two pregnancies underwent elective termination. The detailed characterization of marker chromosomes can facilitate informed decision making, prevent uncertainty, and provide proper prognostic assessments. Our findings emphasize the importance for combining cytogenetic and molecular genetic techniques in marker chromosome characterization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.] is an excellent crop known for its superior level of drought tolerance across the world. Especially, less water is needed during its germination period than the other cereal crops. However, the knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the abiotic stress effects on seed germination of foxtail millet is largely unknown. RESULTS The water uptake pattern of foxtail millet seeds was ploted during germination period, according to which the germination time course of millet was separated into three phases. We sequenced the transcriptome of foxtail millet seeds, which were treated by PEG during different germination phases after sowing. The transcriptional studies revealed that more DEGs were identified during the further increase in water uptake period (phase III) than during the rapid initial uptake period (phase I) and the plateau period (phase II) under PEG stress. The pathway analysis of DEGs showed that the highly enriched categories were related to phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, plant hormone signal transduction and phenylalanine metabolism during phase III. The 20 phenylpropanoids-related genes of germinating foxtail millet were found to be down-regulated during the further increase in water uptake period under PEG stress. Further expression analysis identified 4 genes of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, 4-coumarate-CoA ligase 3, cinnamoyl-CoA reductase 1, cationic peroxidase SPC4 in phenylpropanoids-related pathway, which played important roles in foxtail millet in response to PEG stress during different germination periods. The studies of metabolites in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway revealed that higher amount of cinnamic acid was accumulated in germinating seeds under PEG stress, while the contents of p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and sinapic acid were decreased. And the effects of five phenolic compounds on germination and growth of foxtail millet showed that 1 mM concentration of cinnamic acid inhibited shoot and root growth, especially root development. Ferulic acid, caffeic acid, sinapic acid and p-coumaric acid could increase the root length and root/sprout in lower concentration. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that key genes and metabolites of foxtail millet related with phenylpropanoids pathway may play prominent roles in the regulation of resistance to drought during germination. Foxtail millet can probably avoid drought by regulating the levels of endogenous allelochemicals.

Abstract
CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) have been shown to regulate a variety of environmental stress-related signalling pathways in plants. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv) is known worldwide as a relatively stress-tolerant C4 crop species. Although the foxtail millet genome sequence has been released, little is known about the functions of CIPKs in foxtail millet. Therefore, a systematic genome-wide analysis of CIPK genes in foxtail millet was performed. In total, 35 CIPK members were identified in foxtail millet and divided into four subgroups (I to IV) on the basis of their phylogenetic relationships. Phylogenetic and gene structure analyses clearly divided all SiCIPKs into intron-poor and intron-rich clades. Cis-element analysis subsequently indicated that these SiCIPKs may be involved in responses to abiotic stimuli, hormones, and light signalling during plant growth and development, and stress-induced expression profile analysis revealed that all the SiCIPKs are involved in various stress signalling pathways. These results suggest that the CIPK genes in foxtail millet exhibit the basic characteristics of CIPK family members and play important roles in response to abiotic stresses. The results of this study will contribute to future functional characterization of abiotic stress responses mediated by CIPKs in foxtail millet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nausea is a common complaint, known to respond to the placebo effect. Existing research has employed deception when administering placebos for nausea, limiting therapeutic translation on ethical grounds. We therefore examined the potential of non-deceptive open-label placebos (OLPs) to reduce nausea. METHODS Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) and Virtual Reality (VR) were employed to model nausea in healthy volunteers across two experiments. In both experiments nausea was elicited with and without sham treatment (peppermint vapor and brain stimulation, respectively). In Exp. 1, participants (n = 61) were randomized to deceptive placebo, semi-open placebo, fully-open placebo, or control. In Exp. 2, participants (n = 93) were randomized to deceptive placebo, semi-open placebo, or control. RESULTS Exp. 1 found limited evidence for a placebo effect (F(1, 56) = 1.15, p = .29, ηp2 =0.02), even following deceptive treatment (F(1, 56) = 1.92, p = .17, ηp2=0.03). In Exp. 2, deceptive placebo reduced nausea relative to control (F(1, 89) = 6.91, p = .010, ηp2=0.07) and OLP (F(1, 89) = 5.47, p = .022, ηp2=0.06). Pooled Bayesian analysis across experiments provided strong evidence that deceptive placebos reduce nausea relative to control (BF10 = 30.91) and anecdotal evidence for the benefit of deceptive treatment over non-deceptive (BF10 = 2.46) and no benefit of OLP over control (BF10 = 0.63). CONCLUSIONS No positive evidence for OLP effects in nausea were observed. However, a deceptive effect in VR was observed. These findings raise questions regarding the efficacy of open-label intervention in nausea.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between self-reported hearing and vision impairments and self-rated health, quality of life (QoL) and depressive symptoms at 4-year follow-up. STUDY DESIGN The study involved cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses with 4-year follow-up using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. METHODS Community-dwelling adults (n = 3931) aged ≥50 years from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing participated in this study. Self-reported hearing and vision were defined as good or poor. Self-rated health was treated as a dichotomous variable (good and poor health). QoL was based on the 19-item Critical Appraisal Skills Programme and treated as a continuous variable (score 0-57). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the eight-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D8) and defined as CES-D≥3. Relationships between sensory impairments and self-rated health and depressive symptoms were analysed using logistic regression. Linear regression was used to assess the relationships between sensory impairments and QoL. RESULTS In cross-sectional analyses, both self-reported hearing and vision impairment were positively associated with all outcomes assessed. In longitudinal analyses, self-reported poor hearing and vision were associated with increased risks of poor self-rated health (hearing: odds ratio [OR] 1.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32, 2.05; vision: OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.16, 2.12) and depressive symptoms (hearing: OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.07, 1.71; vision: OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.09, 1.90) after adjustment for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, chronic illness, mobility limitations and cognition. Poor hearing and poor vision were not associated with reduced QoL after adjustment for covariates. CONCLUSIONS The findings stress the importance of identifying and addressing sensory impairments in older adults to improve their health and well-being.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aneurysm hemodynamics has been associated with wall histology and inflammation. We investigated associations between local hemodynamics and focal wall changes visible intraoperatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Computational fluid dynamics models were constructed from 3D images of 65 aneurysms treated surgically. Aneurysm regions with different visual appearances were identified in intraoperative videos: 1) "atherosclerotic" (yellow), 2) "hyperplastic" (white), 3) "thin" (red), 4) rupture site, and 5) "normal" (similar to parent artery), They were marked on 3D reconstructions. Regional hemodynamics was characterized by the following: wall shear stress, oscillatory shear index, relative residence time, wall shear stress gradient and divergence, gradient oscillatory number, and dynamic pressure; these were compared using the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS Hyperplastic regions had lower average wall shear stress (P = .005) and pressure (P = .009) than normal regions. Flow conditions in atherosclerotic and hyperplastic regions were similar but had higher average relative residence time (P = .03) and oscillatory shear index (P = .04) than thin regions. Hyperplastic regions also had a higher average gradient oscillatory number (P = .002) than thin regions. Thin regions had lower average relative residence time (P < .001), oscillatory shear index (P = .006), and gradient oscillatory number (P < .001) than normal regions, and higher average wall shear stress (P = .006) and pressure (P = .009) than hyperplastic regions. Thin regions tended to be aligned with the flow stream, while atherosclerotic and hyperplastic regions tended to be aligned with recirculation zones. CONCLUSIONS Local hemodynamics is associated with visible focal wall changes. Slow swirling flow with low and oscillatory wall shear stress was associated with atherosclerotic and hyperplastic changes. High flow conditions prevalent in regions near the flow impingement site characterized by higher and less oscillatory wall shear stress were associated with local "thinning" of the wall.

Abstract
Active and sports fashion in the high-end market focuses on fit, superior comfort and functional performance for various end-uses. However, the engineering design of sports gloves in relation to hand anthropometry measurements remains unclear. In this study, two types of ready-to-wear sport gloves, namely, war-gaming glove and hiking glove were purchased from the market. The glove dimensions, fabrication properties and the effect of glove fit on hand and finger dexterity were investigated. Thirty female individuals (20-29 years old) participated a series of hand performance tests and subjective perception rating assessments towards the gloves. Results indicated that the active range of motion of fingers, finger tactile sensitivity, gripping strength and ability to handle pegs and marbles decreased with the use of gloves compared with bare hands. The perceptions of comfort and ease of hand motions decreased with the increased of wear time. The glove fit in terms of finger length dimensions was significantly correlated with hand grip force. The glove fit in hand, wrist and finger circumference dimensions had significant impact on the ability to handle small objects. It is suggested that hand length, hand circumference, finger circumference and the ratio of finger length to palm length should be considered in the design and development of gloves to improve hand performance and comfort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hemorrhage (PH) is occasionally seen in premature infants after surfactant treatment for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). These infants receive frequent chest radiographs (CXR) during and after hospitalization enabling long-term radiographic-clinical correlation. OBJECTIVE To chart the natural evolution of CXR findings of PH in RDS and correlate radiographic patterns to supplemental oxygen requirement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of clinical notes for gestational age (GA), birth weight (BW), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and oxygen requirement were performed. CXRs were reviewed at 4 time-points; during PH, 28 days postnatal age, 36 weeks and at farthest available clinical follow-up. RESULTS 18 infants born (2003-2016), GA (24-30 weeks); BW (482-1590 grams) were included. Mean onset of PH was 1.94 (0-5) days. 9/18 (50%) had IVH. 3 died during PH; all had IVH. During PH, CXR showed whiteout 9/18 (50%); patchy opacities 5/18 (27%); diffuse haziness 1/18 (6%) and no change 3/18 (17%). At 28 days postnatal age, CXR showed fine-interstitial (FI) markings 14/15 (93%) and whiteout 1/15 (7%). At 36 weeks,12/14 (85%) had FI and 2/14 (15%) developed cystic-interstitial changes. At farthest follow-up, FI 3/13 (23%); coarse-interstitial 4/13 (30%); peri-bronchial cuffing 5/13 (38%); normal 1/13 (9%) and the majority had hyperinflation 9/13 (69%). At discharge, 9/14 (64%) required home-oxygen and 5/14 (36%) were on room-air. At farthest follow-up, 6/14 (42%) required home-oxygen and 8/14 (58%) were on room-air. CONCLUSION Premature infants that survive PH may later develop chronic lung disease of prematurity with an evolving interstitial pattern on CXR that clears overtime as they outgrow the need for supplemental oxygen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an inherited disorder of haem metabolism characterized by life-threatening acute neurovisceral attacks due to the induction of hepatic δ-aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) associated with hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) deficiency. So far, the treatment of choice is hemin which represses ALAS1. The main issue in the medical care of AIP patients is the occurrence of debilitating recurrent attacks. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether chronic hemin administration contributes to the recurrence of acute attacks. METHODS A follow-up study was conducted between 1974 and 2015 and included 602 French AIP patients, of whom 46 had recurrent AIP. Moreover, we studied the hepatic transcriptome, serum proteome, liver macrophage polarization and oxidative and inflammatory profiles of Hmbs-/- mice chronically treated by hemin and extended the investigations to five explanted livers from recurrent AIP patients. RESULTS The introduction of hemin into the pharmacopeia has coincided with a 4.4-fold increase in the prevalence of chronic patients. Moreover, we showed that both in animal model and in human liver, frequent hemin infusions generate a chronic inflammatory hepatic disease which induces HO1 remotely to hemin treatment and maintains a high ALAS1 level responsible for recurrence. CONCLUSION Altogether, this study has important impacts on AIP care underlying that hemin needs to be restricted to severe neurovisceral crisis and suggests that alternative treatment targeting the liver such as ALAS1 and HO1 inhibitors, and anti-inflammatory therapies should be considered in patients with recurrent AIP.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy is the current standard of care for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. However, trastuzumab has also been associated with an increased risk of cardiotoxicity, especially when given following an anthracycline. Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC) can present as asymptomatic left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decline or symptomatic heart failure. Our objective was to identify predictors of TIC among multi-ethnic patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. Unlike prior observational studies, our study included a high representation of racial/ethnic minorities, who are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to non-Hispanic whites.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients with stage I-III HER2-positive breast cancer, diagnosed from 2007 to 2015 at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) in New York, NY, who had received adjuvant trastuzumab therapy. Participants had at least two serial echocardiograms or MUGA scans to assess TIC, which was defined as at least a 10% decrease in LVEF from baseline or LVEF <50%. LVEF recovery was defined as at least a 10% increase in LVEF or LVEF >50%. We conducted descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariable logistic regression to estimate the associations between socio-demographic factors, breast tumor and treatment characteristics, and CVD risk factors (including smoking status, body mass index [BMI], hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease) and TIC. Interactions between race/ethnicity and CVD risk factors were assessed using a logistic regression model.
Results: In our study population (N=279), the mean age was 52.7 years (standard deviation, 12.1) with 36.6% non-Hispanic white, 18.3% non-Hispanic black, 34.8% Hispanic, and 10.4% Asian patients. There were no differences by race/ethnicity in tumor and treatment characteristics (over half had prior anthracyclines), but racial/ethnic minorities had higher BMI and were more likely to have hypertension compared to non-Hispanic whites. About a third of patients developed TIC and 14.7% had an LVEF decline to <50%, of which 15 (16.1%) experienced LVEF recovery. In multivariable analysis, prior anthracycline use and hypertension were significantly associated with increased odds of developing TIC (odds ratio [OR]: 2.25, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25, 4.06; OR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.15, 3.93, respectively). There was a significant interaction (p=0.027) between race/ethnicity and hypertension on odds of developing TIC with hypertensive non-Hispanic white patients experiencing 6.05 (95% CI: 2.19, 16.75) times the odds of developing TIC compared to non-hypertensive non-Hispanic whites.
Discussion: We observed a higher incidence of TIC and lower incidence of LVEF recovery compared to previous clinical trials. Given patient selection for clinical trials, our results may be more representative of clinical practice settings. We found a particularly high risk among non-Hispanic white patients with hypertension. Patients with hypertension may require closer blood pressure monitoring and treatment with anti-hypertensives in order to reduce risk of developing cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Current guidelines are for yearly mammograms in women with early-stage breast cancer. Among breast cancer survivors treated with lumpectomy, semi-annual compared to annual screening mammography of the ipsilateral breast has been associated with early detection of local recurrence. However, a potential harm of more frequent screening is false-positive breast biopsies that may lead to negative psychosocial effects and increased costs. Our objective was to investigate how frequency of screening mammograms affects rates of false-positive biopsy results and local recurrences among breast cancer survivors.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) in New York, NY of women diagnosed with stage 0-III breast cancer between 2007 and 2015, who were treated with lumpectomy and had at least 2 screening mammograms at CUMC within the first 3 years after diagnosis. Demographic and clinical information, including tumor characteristics and breast cancer treatments, were collected from the electronic health record. Frequency of mammography screening was defined as the median interval between 2 consecutive mammograms (every 6 months vs. yearly). Both false-positive biopsy results and local recurrences were identified by review of breast pathology reports. A false-positive biopsy was defined as a diagnostic breast biopsy without evidence of invasive or non-invasive cancer. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were conducted to examine relationships between covariates and either false-positive biopsy or local recurrence.
Results: In our sample (n=1257), the median age at breast cancer diagnosis was 60 years (range, 24-93), including 47% non-Hispanic white, 14% non-Hispanic black, 31% Hispanic, and 7% Asian. Nearly 80% of women had semi-annual screening mammography of the ipsilateral breast during the first 3 years after breast cancer diagnosis. In univariate analysis, higher body mass index, more advanced stage disease, higher tumor grade, and receipt of chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiation therapy were associated with more frequent screening. Comparing women who screened every 6 months vs. yearly, there was no difference in local recurrence rates (4.1% vs. 3.9%), including screen-detected or invasive/non-invasive breast cancer recurrences. In multivariable analysis, women who screened every 6 months compared to yearly had a greater than 2-fold increased risk of having a false-positive biopsy (OR: 2.40; 95% CI: 1.50-3.86). Also, younger age at diagnosis, higher tumor grade, and receipt of chemotherapy were associated with higher false positive rates, adjusting for covariates.
Conclusions: We observed that women with early-stage breast cancer treated with lumpectomy who underwent semi-annual vs. annual screening mammography had more false-positive breast biopsies, but no difference in local recurrence rates. To date, there is no evidence that more frequent screening in breast cancer patients is associated with improved survival. Future studies are needed to determine optimal screening strategies for breast cancer survivors, including frequency of screening and use of supplemental breast imaging with ultrasound, MRI, or tomosynthesis.
