Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and safety between titanium mesh cage (TMC) and nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 cage (n-HA/PA66) in the surgical treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) through anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF). MATERIALS AND METHODS We implemented a comprehensive search strategy across multiple databases, including Wanfang, China Knowledge Network, China Biomedical Literature Database, Wipu, PubMed, Cochran, Embase, and Web of Science. To ensure a thorough examination of available literature, the databases were searched from their inception to January 2023. Two independent researchers evaluated the quality of the included studies by using established criteria. We used RevMan 5.4 (Review Manager Web, The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark) to facilitate data extraction and analysis. RESULTS This analysis included seven controlled clinical studies. The meta-analysis results showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of operating time, intraoperative bleeding, preoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, preoperative visual analog scale (VAS) score, preoperative and final follow-up C2-7 Cobb angles, and intervertebral fusion rate (p > 0.05). However, a significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of the final follow-up JOA [MD = 0.77, 95% CI (0.58, 0.97), p < 0.00001], VAS [MD = -0.50, 95% CI (-0.71, -0.30), p < 0.00001], and sedimentation rate [RR = 0.30, 95% CI (0.18, 0.48), p < 0.00001]. CONCLUSIONS The use of n-HA/PA66 in ACCF for treating CSM is safe and effective treatment with positive clinical efficacy. In addition, n-HA/PA66 has both effective clinical efficacy and significantly lower fusion settling rates compared to TMC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether gut microbiota disturbance after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) contributes to the development of perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND). METHODS Fecal samples were collected from healthy individuals and patients with PND after CPB to prepare suspensions of fecal bacteria, which were transplanted into the colorectum of two groups of pseudo-germ-free adult male SD rats (group NP and group P, respectively), with the rats without transplantation as the control group (n=10). The feces of the rats were collected for macrogenomic sequencing analysis, and serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were measured with ELISA. The expression levels of GFAP and p-Tau protein in the hippocampus of the rats were detected using Western blotting, and the cognitive function changes of the rats were assessed with Morris water maze test. RESULTS In all the 3 groups, macrogenomic sequencing analysis showed clustering and clear partitions of the gut microbiota after the transplantation. The relative abundances of Klebsiella in the control group (P < 0.005), Akkermansia in group P (P < 0.005) and Bacteroides in group NP (P < 0.005) were significantly increased after the transplantation. Compared with those in the control group, the rats in group NP and group P showed significantly decreased serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α and lowered expression levels of GFAP and p-Tau proteins (all P < 0.05). Escape platform crossings and swimming duration in the interest quadrant increased significantly in group NP (P < 0.05), but the increase was not statistically significant in group N. Compared with those in group P, the rats in group NP had significantly lower serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α and protein expressions of GFAP and p-Tau (all P < 0.05) with better performance in water maze test (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In patients receiving CPB, disturbances in gut mirobiota contributes to the development of PND possibly in relation with inflammatory response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ranks high in the incidence of malignant tumors, with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered cell death mechanism based on iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The role of ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and associated prognostic mechanisms in NSCLC require investigation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We constructed a prognostic multi-lncRNA signature based on ferroptosis-related differentially expressed lncRNAs in NSCLC. The levels of ferroptosis-related lncRNA in normal lung cells and lung adenocarcinoma cells were verified by RT-PCR. RESULTS We identified eight differentially expressed lncRNAs associated with NSCLC prognosis. The expression of AC125807.2, AL365181.3, AL606489.1, LINC02320, and AC099850.3 was upregulated, while SALRNA1, AC026355.1, and AP002360.1 were downregulated in NSCLC cell lines. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that a high-risk patient group was associated with poor NSCLC prognosis. A risk assessment model based on ferroptosis-related lncRNAs was superior to NSCLC prognosis based on traditional clinicopathological features. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) identified immune- and tumor-related pathways in low-risk group patients. In addition, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) showed that T cell function during APC co-inhibition, APC co-stimulation, chemokine receptor (CCR), MHC class I, parainflammation, T cell co-inhibition, and check-point expression differed significantly between low- and high-risk groups. M6A-related mRNA comparisons between these groups also revealed significant differences in ZC3H13, RBM15, and METTL3 expression. CONCLUSIONS Our new model of lncRNA-associated ferroptosis effectively predicted NSCLC prognoses.

Abstract
BackgroundIguratimod (IGU), as one of the conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), has been approved by National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to treat Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).ObjectivesThis study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of well-established RA therapies using a claims-based algorithm in RA patients.MethodsAn electronic medical record (EMR) database from Zhujiang Hospital was utilized to estimate the cost-effectiveness of medication for RA patients, including IGU with MTX, biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) with MTX, and MTX alone for more than 6 months from 2014 to 2020. Patients who were deemed effective must meet all the following criteria according to the algorithm, high adherence; no bDMARDs or IGU switch or addition; no prescription of new csDMARDs; no increase in dose or frequency of index drug; no new use of chronic glucocorticoids or increase in glucocorticoid dose; and no more than one glucocorticoid injection. Average cost was calculated by summing total cost of effective treatment and dividing by number of patients achieving efficacy in each group.ResultsA total of 263 patients were included in the analysis. Based on a claims-based algorithm, the effective rate was 27.1 % (26/96) for IGU with MTX group, 11.2% (7/62) for bDMARDs with MTX group, and 13.3% (14/105) for MTX alone group, respectively. Average cost of effective treatment was $833.46 for IGU with MTX therapy, $2554.57 for bDMARDs with MTX therapy, and $171.48 for MTX alone (Table 1).Table 1.Effectiveness and Cost per Effectively Treated Patient with RACriteriaAll patients (n=263)IGU with MTX group(n=96)bDMARDs with MTX group (n=62)MTX (n=105)Effectiveness:no. of patients (%)a47(17.87%)26 (27.1%)7 (11.2/%)14 (13.3%)Cost of all RA-related medication per effectively treated patient(SD)$892.75(911.57)$833.46 (252.67)$2554.5 (1273.13)$171.4 (110.33)Average cost of all RA medications postindex (excluding biologic DMARDs) per patient (SD)b$146.38(114.60)$148.81 (123.12)$86.90 (74.53)$171.4 (110.33)Average cost of only biologicDMARDs postindex per patient (SD)b$746.38(926.35)$684.27(188.67)$2468.67(1285.91)/a χ2showed significant difference in percentage effectiveness for the original algorithm (p<0.05).bMedication cost was 2020 U.S. dollars.ConclusionIGU with MTX therapy was revealed to be both effective and modestly priced, which seemed to be a cost-effective strategy for RA therapy and warranted further cost-effectiveness investigation.References[1](2018) [2018 Chinese guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis].

Abstract
Background Sequential treatment with different generations of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors have been widely applied to ALK-positive lung cancer; however, resistance mutations inevitably developed. Further characterization of ALK resistance mutations may provide key guidance to subsequent therapies. Here we explored the emergence of secondary ALK mutations during sequential ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in a real-world study of Chinese lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) patients. Methods A clinical-genomic database was queried for lung ADC patients with at least one ALK inhibitor treatment and at least one plasma sample collected following ALK inhibitor treatment. Targeted genome profiling was performed with a 139-gene panel in baseline tumor tissue and serial plasma samples of patients. Results A total of 116 patients met inclusion criteria. ALK G1202R was more common in patients with echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-ALK v3 fusion, whereas ALK L1196M was more common in v1. TP53 mutant patients were significantly associated with harboring multiple ALK resistance mutations (P = 0.03) and v3+/TP53 mutant patients had the highest rate of multiple ALK resistance mutations. The sequential use of ALK TKI led to an increased incidence of concurrent ALK mutations along the lines of therapies. Alectinib had a lower rate (9%) harboring ALK resistance mutation as first-line ALK TKI compared with crizotinib (36%). ALK compound mutations identified included ALK D1203N/L1196M, ALK G1202R/L1196M, and ALK G1202R/F1174C, which may be lorlatinib resistant. Using paired pretreatment and post-treatment samples, we identified several ALK-independent resistance-related genetic alterations, including PTPRD and CNKN2A/B loss, MYC, MYCN and KRAS amplification, and EGFR19del. Conclusions Sequential postprogression plasma profiling revealed that increased lines of ALK inhibitors can accelerate the accumulation of ALK resistance mutations and may lead to treatment-refractory compound ALK mutations. The selection for optimal first-line TKI is very important to achieve a more efficacious long-term strategy and prevent the emergence of on-target resistance, which may provide guidance for clinical decision making. ALK resistance mutations were differentially enriched in the setting of EML4-ALK v1/v3 and TP53 status. Serial liquid biopsies NGS depicted accumulation of multiple ALK secondary mutations during sequential ALK treatments. Several lorlatinib-resistant ALK compound mutations and ALK-independent resistance genetic alterations were identified.

Abstract
Nootropics (smart drugs) are used by students to enhance cognitive performance which have been reported times in recent years. However, some of the nootropics are central nervous system stimulants which are very likely to lead to addiction or complications such as vomiting and dizziness. Are there nootropics that can improve learning behavior while having potential positive effect on health? Here, we reported that Atomoxetine (ATX) has sex-specific effect on prolonging the life span of female Drosophila melanogaster. Further study indicated that ATX enhanced female resistance to heat stress and their vertical climbing ability, but it did decrease the number of eggs laid. ATX increased food-intake and sleep time both of females and males, and significantly reduced the 24h spontaneous activity of females and males. Our results present the sex dimorphic effect of ATX on life span regulation in Drosophila, and support further research on the beneficial role of ATX and the mechanisms in other animal models.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by destruction of nonmineralized and mineralized connective tissues. This study evaluated the role of Trem1 (triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 1) in periodontitis by influencing polarization of M1 macrophages through the STAT3/HIF-1α signaling pathway. Trem1 was significantly upregulated in the gingival tissues of patients with periodontitis, as identified by high-throughput RNA sequencing, and positively correlated with levels of M1 macrophage-associated genes. The results of flow cytometry, Western blotting, and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that knockdown of Trem1 in RAW 264.7 cells decreased polarization of M1 macrophages and increased polarization of M2 macrophages, while overexpression of Trem1 exerted an opposite effect. Furthermore, a mouse model of Trem1 knockout periodontitis exhibited limited infiltration of macrophages and decreased expression levels of M1 macrophage-associated genes in periodontitis lesions and bone marrow-derived macrophages. Importantly, we found that Trem1 could regulate polarization of M1 macrophages through STAT3/HIF-1α signaling as evidenced by RNA sequencing. Moreover, inhibition of Trem1 and HIF-1α could suppress the expression level of proinflammatory cytokine (interleukin 1β) and upregulate the expression level of anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin 10) in periodontitis. Collectively, we identified that the Trem1/STAT3/HIF-1α axis could regulate polarization of M1 macrophages and is a potential candidate in the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this review is to provide currently available information on the relationship between the gut microbiome and cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this mini-review, we explored the PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar electronic databases, with regards to the searching terms "gut microbiome, cancer, intestinal flora, immunotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitor". By reviewing and analyzing the literature, we analyzed how the bacterial microbiome influences the immune system and cancer, as well as how changes in symbiotic flora may be applied to improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. RESULTS The microbiota is related to the development of tumors and may promote canceration. In recent years, a number of studies have confirmed the influence of intestinal flora on immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer patients, and studies have also shown the link between the intestinal microbiome and treatment-related immune toxicity. Antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, and hormones affect the composition of the gut microbiota. CONCLUSIONS Intestinal flora is closely related to cancer. Intestinal flora has a certain impact on cancer occurrence, cancer treatment, cancer immunotherapy efficacy, and side effects.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways induced mainly by cigarette smoking. In the current study, cigarette smoke extract (CSE) was used to develop an in vitro COPD model using human bronchial epithelium (HBE) cells to expound the possible role of microRNA-29b (miR-29b) in COPD. Firstly, miR-29b and interleukin (IL)-22 expression was assessed in serum of 20 healthy non-smokers, 20 healthy smokers and 20 COPD patients as well as CSE-treated HBE cells. Then, miR-29b and IL-22 expression was altered to evaluate their functions in Th17/Treg ratio. miR-29b inhibited Th17/Treg ratio and levels of IL-22; whereas overexpression of IL-22 reversed these trends. Moreover, rescue experiments found that IL-22 neutralized the repressive effects of miR-29b on Th17/Treg ratio and inflammatory response. Finally, we found that miR-29b blocked the JAK/STAT3 pathway in CSE-treated HBE cells. These data highlighted that miR-29bs modulated Th17/Treg imbalance in CSE-induced experimental COPD through inhibition of IL-22-dependent JAK/STAT3 pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-135a on the renal fibrosis in rats with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) through the Notch signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 male Wistar rats weighing 200-220 g were selected and randomly divided into Control group (n=10), diabetes mellitus (DM) group (n=10), and miR-13a inhibitor group (n=10). Streptozotocin (STZ) was intraperitoneally injected daily to establish the DM model in rats of both DM group and miR-135a group, while normal saline was given daily through intraperitoneal injection in rats of Control group. After 4 weeks, the rats in miR-135a inhibitor group were intraperitoneally injected with miR-135a inhibitor, and those in Control and DM groups were administrated with an equal amount of normal saline. Changes in the blood glucose (BG), glycated hemoglobin (GHb), serum creatinine (Scr), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) of rats were evaluated, and the pathological changes in the renal tissues of DM rats were observed via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Sirius red staining was performed to observe the changes in collagen fibers in the kidney of all groups of rats. The expressions of Notch and Hes1 in the renal tissues of rats in each group were detected using immunohistochemistry. Immunofluorescence assay was employed to detect the positive expression of Notch in the renal tissues of rats. The mRNA expressions of Notch and miR-135a were detected via quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Finally, Western blotting was conducted to detect the protein expressions of Notch, Notch intracellular domain (NICD) and Hes1. RESULTS Compared with Control group, rats in DM group had substantially raised levels of BG, GHb, Scr, TG, and TC (p<0.05). HE staining showed that the rats in Control group had renal tubular cells with normal morphology and well-defined structure, while those in DM group exhibited evident cavitation in the renal tubular epithelium. Sirius red staining results manifested that the red collagen fibers were evenly distributed with light staining in the glomeruli and renal tubules of rats in Control group. In contrast, the collagen fibers of the glomeruli and renal tubules of rats in DM group exhibited deep and evident red staining. Moreover, compared with DM group, rats in miR-135a inhibitor group had notably faded red staining in the glomeruli and renal tubules of rats, evenly distributed collagen and remarkably decreased fibrotic nodules. According to immunohistochemistry detection results, the protein levels of Notch and Hes1 in the renal tubulointerstitial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells of rats in DM group were markedly higher than those in Control group. Compared with those in DM group, their protein levels were remarkably lowered in miR-135a inhibitor group (p<0.05). Immunofluorescence assay results revealed that the protein level of Notch in the renal tissues of rats in DM group was considerably higher than that in Control group (p<0.05), while its protein level in miR-135a inhibitor group was significantly lower than that in DM group. According to qRT-PCR results, compared with those in Control group, mRNA expressions of Notch mRNA and miR-135a in the rat kidney tissues were substantially raised in DM group (p<0.05), and they were notably lowered in miR-13a inhibitor group compared with those in DM group (p<0.05). Finally, Western blotting results manifested that the protein levels of Notch, NIC, and Hes1 in the renal tissues of rats in DM group were considerably higher than those in Control group (p<0.05), and that their protein expression levels in miR-135a inhibitor group were markedly lower than those in DM group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Inhibition of miR-135a can reduce the renal fibrosis in DKD rats through the Notch pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Verrucous epidermal naevi (VEN) are benign skin tumours, considered keratinocytic epidermal naevi, that appear at birth or early childhood. VEN may display a range of appearances, depending on patient age. Although the number of studies regarding VEN is increasing, the exact mechanism of VEN is still unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyse the changes in the expression of protein factors in lesions of VEN children by TMT labelling-based quantitative proteomics. METHODS A total of 8 children with VEN (5 for experiment and 3 for validation) and 8 healthy children (5 for experiment and 3 for validation) presented to the Department of Dermatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Boao Super Hospital, between January 2019 and November 2019. The lesions and lesion-adjacent tissues from children with VEN and naevus-adjacent normal skin tissues from children with pigmented naevi were defined as the VEN group, VENC group and C group, respectively. We performed a proteomics analysis to screen for differentially expressed proteins in the lesions of these individuals. We further performed Western blotting to validate the relative expression levels of nine targeted proteins in the validation group. RESULTS According to the proteomics results, a total of 4970 proteins were identified, and 4770 proteins were quantified. Among these proteins, 586 proteins were up- or downregulated at least 1.3-fold with a P-value < 0.05 (upregulated: 399, downregulated: 187) in lesions between the VEN group and the C group. These proteins played important roles in multiple biological functions, such as cornification, epidermal cell differentiation and neutrophil activation, and formed a complicated protein-protein interaction network. Of the 586 up- or downregulated proteins, nine were selected for further validation. According to Western blotting analysis results, the relative expression levels of Involucrin, NDUFA4, Loricrin, Keratin type II cytoskeletal 6A (Cytokeratin 6A), BRAF, Filaggrin, S100A7 and Desmocollin-3 were significantly upregulated in VEN children and may be associated with skin barrier dysfunction, epidermal cell overgrowth and differentiation, inflammation and immune and oxidative phosphorylation, which are involved in the pathogenesis of VEN. CONCLUSIONS According to TMT-based proteomics and Western blotting results, we identified eight noteworthy proteins, Involucrin, NDUFA4, Loricrin, Keratin type II cytoskeletal 6A, BRAF, Filaggrin, S100A7 and Desmocollin-3, that were upregulated in the lesions of VEN children and may be associated with the pathogenesis of VEN. Our findings provide new starting points for identifying precise pathogenic mechanisms or therapeutic targets for VEN.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in patients with presacral recurrent rectal cancer (PRRC). Methods: PRRC was defined as recurrence of rectal cancer after radical surgery involving posteriorly the presacral soft tissue, the sacrum/coccyx, and/or sacral nerve root. The diagnosis is confirmed with clinical symptoms (pain of pelvis/back/lower limb, bloody stools, increased frequency of defecation, and abnormal secretions), physical examination of perineal or pelvic masses, radiological findings, colonoscopy with histopathological biopsy, and the evaluation by multi-disciplinary team (MDT). Inclusion criteria: (1) primary rectal cancer undergoing radical surgery without distant metastasis; (2) PRRC was diagnosed; (3) complete inpatient, outpatient and follow-up data. According to the above criteria, clinical data of 72 patients with PRRC in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2008 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological features and follow-up data were summarized. Cox proportional hazard models was used to analyze the prognostic factors of PRRC. Results: Among 72 patients, 45 were male and 27 were female with a male-to-female ratio of 1.7:1.0. The median age at recurrence was 58 (34 to 83) years and the median interval from surgery to recurrence was 2.0 (0.2 to 17.0) years. The main symptom was pain in 48.6% (35/72) of patients. In addition, gastrointestinal symptoms were found in 25.0% (18/72) of patients. The presacral recurrent sites were presacral fascia in 36 (50.0%) patients, lower sacrum (S3~S5 or coccyx) in 25 (34.7%) patients, and higher sacrum (S1~S2) in 11 (15.3%) patients. Forty-seven (65.3%) patients underwent radical surgery (abdominal resection, abdominoperineal resection, sacrectomy, abdominosacral resection), 12 (16.7%) underwent non-radical surgery (colostomy, cytoreductive surgery), and 13 (18.1%) did not undergo any surgery but only receive palliative chemoradiotherapy and nutritional support treatment. Thirty-three (45.8%) patients received radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, irinotecan, etc.). All the patients received follow-up, and the median follow-up time was 19 (2 to 72) months. The median overall survival time was 14 (1 to 65) months. The 1- and 3-year overall survival rates were 67.1% and 32.0%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age at recurrence (P=0.031) and radical resection (P<0.001) were associated with prognosis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that radical resection was independent factor of good prognosis (RR=0.140, 95%CI: 0.061-0.322, P<0.001). Conclusions: Patients tend to develop presacral recurrent rectal cancer within 2 years after primary surgery. The main symptom is pain. Patients undergoing radical resection have a relatively good prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and prognosis of three surgical methods for presacral recurrent rectal cancer (PRRC). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Case inclusion criteria: (1) primary rectal cancer without distant metastasis and undergoing radical surgery; (2) patients undergoing radical surgery after the diagnosis of PRRC; (3) complete inpatient, outpatient and follow-up data. Clinical data of 47 patients meeting the above criteria who underwent operation at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The Peking University People's Hospital from January 2008 to December 2017 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Of the 47 patients, 31 were male and 16 were female; the mean age was 57 years old; 9 (19.1%) were low differentiation or signet ring cell carcinoma, 38 (80.9%) were medium differentiation; 19 (40.4%) received neoadjuvant therapy. According to operative procedure, 22 patients were in the abdominal/abdominoperineal resection group, 15 in the sacrectomy group and 10 in the abdominosacral resection group. The operative data, postoperative data and prognosis were compared among the three groups. Survival curve was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank test was used to compare survival difference among three groups. Results: There were no significant differences in baseline data among three groups (all P>0.05). All the 47 patients completed the radical resection successfully. The mean operation time was (4.7±2.1) hours, the median intraoperative blood loss was 600 ml, and the median postoperative hospitalization time was 17 days. Fifteen cases (31.9%) had perioperative complications, of which 3 cases were grade III-IV. There was no perioperative death. The mean operative time was (7.4±1.6) hours in the abdominosacral resection group, (4.9±1.6) hours in the abdominal/abdominoperineal resection group, and (3.0±1.1) hours in the sacroectomy group, with a significant difference (F=25.071, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitalization days and perioperative complications among the three groups (all P>0.05). The median follow-up period of all the patients was 24 months, 12 cases (25.5%) developed postoperative dysfunction. The incidence of postoperative dysfunction in the abdominosacral resection group was 5/10, which was higher than 4/15 in the sacrectomy group and 3/22 (13.6%) in the abdominoperineal resection group with statistically significant difference (χ(2)=9.307, P=0.010). The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 86.1% and 40.2% respectively. The 1-year overall survival rates were 86.0%, 86.7% and 83.3%, and the 3-year overall survival rates were 33.2%, 40.0% and 62.5% in the abdominal/abdominoperineal resection group, sacrectomy group and abdominosacral resection group, respectively, whose difference was not statistically significant (χ(2)=0.222, P=0.895). Conclusions: Abdominal/abdominoperineal resection, sacrectomy and abdominosacral resection are all effective for PRRC. Intraoperative function protection should be concerned for patients undergoing abdominosacral resection.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the postoperative functional prognosis of transanal mesorectal excision (taTME) and conventional total mesorectal excision (TME) in rectal cancer. Methods: Totally 49 patients underwent taTME and 478 patients underwent conventional TME at Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Peking University People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. Propensity score matching method was used to perform 1 versus 1 matching between the taTME and conventional TME groups, and 36 pairs of patients were successfully matched. After matching, the median age of patients in taTME group and conventional TME group was 60.5 (16.0) years and 60.5 (13.0) years (M(Q(R))), respectively, and the proportion of male patients was 66.7% (24/36) and 55.6% (20/36) , respectively. EORTC QLQ-C30 scale was used to assess quality of life, low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) scale and Wexner constipation score were used to evaluate anal function, international prostate symptom score (IPSS) was used to evaluate urinary function,international index of erectile function (IIEF) -5 and female sexual function index (FSFI) score were used to evaluate male and female sexual function, respectively, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) and patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) scale were used to evaluate psych function. The t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ(2) test, and Fisher exact test were used for comparison between groups, and Wilcoxon rank sum test or McNemar test was used for comparison between paired data. Results: There were no significant differences in surgery time, postoperative hospital stays, conversion rate, morbidity rate, surgery cost, and numbers of lymph node yield between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the conventional TME group, the intraoperative blood loss in the taTME group was significantly higher (100 (100) ml vs. 80 (50) ml, U=424.5, P=0.010), the prophylactic stoma rate was significantly higher (96.9%(31/36) vs. 63.6%(21/36), χ(2)=11.218, P<0.01), the total hospitalization cost was significantly lower (74 297.7 (16 746.4) CNY vs. 91 781.3 (26 228.4) CNY, U=413.0, P=0.008). There were no significant differences in anal and urinary function between the two groups (LARS scalescore: Z=-0.513, P=0.608, Wexner constipation score: Z=-0.992, P=0.321, IPSS: Z=-1.807, P=0.071). In terms of psych function, significant difference in GAD-7 scale was seen between the two groups (Z=-2.311, P=0.021), patients with generalized anxiety disorder accounting for 26.7% (8/30) and 46.9% (15/32), respectively. Conclusions: Compared with conventional TME surgery, taTME has a significantly increased blood loss and prophylactic stoma rate. There are no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative anal, urinary, and sexual dysfunction between taTME and conventinal TME. taTME can alleviate the financial burden and general anxiety disorder to a certain extent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the regulatory role of TRIM66 in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to investigate its underlying mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 88 pairs of HCC tissues and para-cancerous tissues were surgically resected. The expression of TRIM66 was detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The correlation between TRIM66 expression and clinic-pathologic characteristics of HCC patients was analyzed. Follow-up data of enrolled HCC patients were collected for survival analysis. Subsequently, TRIM66 expression in HCC cells was determined by qRT-PCR as well. By constructing si-TRIM66, the biological performances of transfected HCC cells were determined using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation and transwell assay. Western blot was performed to measure the protein expressions of relative genes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway. Finally, HCC cells were co-transfected with si-TRIM66 and pcDNA-E-cadherin, followed by detection of invasive and migratory abilities. RESULTS TRIM66 was highly expressed in HCC tissues compared with that of para-cancerous tissues. High expression of TRIM66 was positively correlated with tumor stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, whereas not correlated with age and sex of HCC patients. Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that a higher expression of TRIM66 was associated with worse prognosis of HCC. Similarly, TRIM66 was also highly expressed in HCC cells. The knockdown of TRIM66 in HCC cells significantly inhibited the proliferative, invasive and migratory abilities of transfected cells. However, TRIM66 down-regulation significantly induced cell apoptosis. Western blot results showed that TRIM66 knockdown in HCC cells markedly downregulated the protein expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin and β-catenin. The inhibited migration and invasion of HCC cells resulted from TRIM66 knockdown were partially reversed by E-cadherin overexpression. CONCLUSIONS TRIM66 is highly expressed in HCC, which is positively correlated with tumor stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis of HCC patients. In addition, TRIM66 promotes the malignant progression of HCC by inhibiting E-cadherin through the EMT pathway.

Abstract
The 3 major subphenotypes observed in patients with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) are nonsyndromic cleft lip only (NSCLO), nonsyndromic cleft lip with palate (NSCLP), and nonsyndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO). However, the genetic architecture underlying NSCPO is largely unknown. Here we performed a 2-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) on NSCPO and replication analyses of selected variants in other NSOFCs from the Chinese Han population. We identified a novel locus (15q24.3) and a known locus (1q32.2) where variants in or near the gene reached genome-wide significance (2.80 × 10-13 < P < 1.72 × 10-08) in a test for association with NSCPO in a case-control design. Although a variant from 15q24.3 was found to be significantly associated with both NSCPO and NSCLP, the direction of estimated effects on risk were opposite. Our functional annotation of the risk alleles within 15q24.3 coupled with previously established roles of the candidate genes within identified risk loci in periderm development, embryonic patterning, and/or regulation of cellular processes supports their involvement in palate development and the pathogenesis of cleft palate. Our study advances the understanding of the genetic basis of NSOFCs and provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of NSCPO.

Abstract
Phytochelatins (PyCs) are a diverse set of plant compounds that chelate metals, protect against metal toxicity and function in metal homeostasis. PyCs are present in plants consumed as food by humans and could, in principle, impact absorption and utilization of essential and toxic metals such as selenium and cadmium, respectively. PyCs vary in terminal amino acid composition and chain length, exist in multiple oxidation states and reversibly bind multiple metals; consequently, PyCs include a large set of possible structures. Although individual PyC-metal complexes have been studied, no resource exists to characterize the diversity of PyCs and PyC-metal complexes. We used the scientific literature to develop a database of elemental formulas for polymer forms varying in chain length from 2 to 11 glutamyl-cysteine repeats. Using elemental formulas, we calculated monoisotopic masses using the most abundant isotopes of each element and calculated masses for complexes with 13 metals of nutritional and toxicological significance. The resulting phytochelatin database (PyCDB) contains 46 260 unique elemental formulas for PyC and PyC-metal complexes. The database is available online for download as well as for direct mass queries for mass spectrometry using an accurate mass annotation tool for user-selected PyC types, metals and adducts of interest. We performed studies of a commonly consumed food—onion—to validate the database and test utility of the tool. Onion samples were analyzed using ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Mass spectral features were annotated using the PyCDB web tool and the R package, xMSannotator; annotated features were further validated by collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry. The results establish use and a workflow for PyCDB as a resource for characterization of PyCs and PyC-metal complexes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) is a complex polygenic disease characterized by molecular and histological heterogeneity. An effort is underway to explore and investigate multiple reliable prognostic markers to improve management of BRCA patients and provide novel therapeutic targets. The aim of the study is to identify the prognostic miRNA signature in BRCA patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The miRNA-sequencing data and clinical information of BRCA patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. RESULTS A total of 106 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between BRCA tissues and matched normal tissues, including 81 up-regulated miRNAs and 25 down-regulated miRNAs. Then, we established a set of three-miRNA signature that was significantly associated with BRCA patients' survival. Using the prognostic three-miRNA signature, we classified the BRCA patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. Multivariate Cox regression demonstrated that the prognostic power of the three-miRNA signature was independent of other clinical variables. Functional enrichment analysis suggested that three prognostic miRNAs may be involved in known BRCA-related KEGG pathways and biological processes. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that three-miRNA signature could be a potential biomarker for predicting clinical outcomes for BRCA patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In recent decades, the death rate from lung cancer appears to be an increasing yearly trend, particularly for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Curcumin is a yellow pigment found in turmeric rhizomes, reported to exhibit various anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, anti-proliferative, and antioxidant properties. Many reports have suggested that curcumin could induce apoptosis in malignant cells, and therefore, has great potential in tumor treatment. However, little is known about the effect of curcumin on NSCLC or its associated mode of action. Therefore, in this study, we explored curcumin's effect on NSCLC and investigated its associated mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line A549 was cultured and subjected to MTT and clonogenic survival assays to assess cell proliferation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured using a Fluostar Omega Spectrofluorimeter. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and γ-glutamyl cysteine synthetase (γ-GCS) activity in A549 cells were both determined by a commercial determination kit. Expression levels of p-GSK3β (Ser9), c-Myc, cyclin D1, β-catenin α-tubulin, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS Results of the MTT and clonogenic survival assay indicated that curcumin reduced A549 proliferation. ROS levels and SOD and γ-GCS activities were detected. Curcumin decreased intracellular ROS levels and increased SOD and γ-GCS activity. Meanwhile, the ROS inhibitor N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) reversed the decrease in ROS levels and the increase in SOD and γ-GCS activity. These results indicate that oxidative stress is involved in the curcumin-induced reduction of A549 viability. Curcumin also strongly inhibited β-catenin and p-GSK3β (Ser9) protein expression, as well as the expression of downstream cyclin D1 and c-Myc. Similarly, NAC reversed the inhibition of β-catenin and p-GSK3β (Ser9) protein expression, as well as the expression of downstream cyclin D1 and c-Myc. CONCLUSIONS We showed that curcumin inhibits NSCLC proliferation via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
Multiphase flow through porous media is important in a wide range of environmental applications such as enhanced oil recovery and geologic storage of CO2. Recent in situ observations of the three-phase contact line between immiscible fluid phases and solid surfaces suggest that existing models may not fully capture the effects of nanoscale surface textures, impacting flow prediction. To better characterize the role of surface roughness in these systems, spontaneous and forced imbibition experiments were carried out using glass capillaries with modified surface roughness or wettability. Dynamic contact angle and interfacial speed deviation, both resulting from stick-slip flow conditions, were measured to understand the impact these microscale dynamics would have on macroscale flow processes. A 2 k factorial experimental design was used to test the ways in which the dynamic contact angle was impacted by the solid surface properties (e.g., wettability, roughness), ionic strength in the aqueous phase, nonaqueous fluid type (water/Fluorinert and water/dodecane), and the presence/absence of a wetting film prior to the imbibition of the wetting phase. The analysis of variance of spontaneous imbibition results suggests that surface roughness and ionic strength play important roles in controlling dynamic contact angle in porous media, more than other factors tested here. The presence of a water film alone does not affect dynamic contact angle, but its interactions with surface roughness and aqueous chemistry have a statistically significant effect. Both forced imbibition and spontaneous imbibition experiments suggest that nanoscale textures can have a larger impact on flow dynamics than chemical wettability. These experimental results are used to extend the Joos and Wenzel equations relating apparent static and dynamic contact angles to roughness, presence of a water film, and water chemistry. The new empirical equation improves prediction accuracy by taking water film and aqueous chemistry into account, reducing error by up to 50%.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Phytochelatins (PyCs) are a group of metal-binding compounds formed by plants which could impact bioavailability of essential and toxic metals in the human diet. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics can characterize a diversity of compounds from complex matrices. The aim of this project was to determine chromatographic characteristics of PyCs and their mass spectral signatures using authentic standards and determine if two types of PyCs (PyC2-Gly and PyC3-Gly) can be detected in commonly consumed plant foods and validated using chromatographic characteristics and ion dissociation mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
Methods
We analyzed PyC2-Gly and PyC3-Gly standards using LC-MS (C18 column; 10 minute analysis, positive ionization mode) at 5 different concentrations with 3 sample preparation methods to determine the common adducts, retention times, and optimal sample preparation methods. The most common adducts were selected for MS/MS to determine the characteristic fragmentation patterns. Onion, carrot, tomato, and whole wheat flour samples were analyzed with LC-MS/MS using the optimized sample preparation method and determined chromatographic and ion dissociation characteristics from the PyC standards analysis.
Results
For both PyC standards, the most common adducts were identified as follows: M + H > M + Na > M +K > 2M + H > 2M + Na = 2M + K > M + 2H and metabolite features had a retention time of 42 seconds. The fragmentation patterns for PyC2-Gly and PyC3-Gly for the M + H adduct (m/z 538.1272 and m/z 770.1790) were determined by MS/MS. The results show that fragmentation of m/z 538.1272 yielded m/z 231.0433, 334.0525, and 409.0844, and m/z 770.1790 yielded m/z 231.0433, 308.0911, and 641.1358. PyC2-Gly was detected in all 4 food types with a fragmentation pattern matching the PyC2-Gly standard while PyC3-Gly was not detected in these food samples.
Conclusions
This project defines chromatographic and mass spectrometry characteristics of PyC2-Gly and PyC3-Gly. Using these characteristics, we were able to validate PyC2-Gly in 4 plant foods. As PyCs may impact metal bioavailability from the diet, optimizing LC-MS detection methods for PyCs in plant foods facilitates future characterization of PyCs in the human diet.

Abstract
The etiology of late-onset Alzheimer's disease is unknown. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to high levels of ozone (O3) may be a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Nonetheless, whether and how O3 exposure contributes to AD development remains to be determined. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that O3 exposure synergizes with the genetic risk factor APOE ε4 and aging leading to AD, using male apolipoprotein E (apoE)4 and apoE3 targeted replacement mice as men have increased risk exposure to high levels of O3 via working environments and few studies have addressed APOE ε4 effects on males. Surprisingly, our results show that O3 exposure impairs memory in old apoE3, but not old apoE4 or young apoE3 and apoE4, male mice. Further studies show that old apoE4 mice have increased hippocampal activities or expression of some enzymes involved in antioxidant defense, diminished protein oxidative modification, and neuroinflammation following O3 exposure compared with old apoE3 mice. These novel findings highlight the complexity of interactions between APOE genotype, age, and environmental exposure in AD development.

Abstract
Seasonal influenza causes substantial morbidity and mortality in China, which largely results from limited vaccine accessibility and poor vaccination coverage. Since 2013, Sanofi Pasteur's facilities in Shenzhen, China have produced a trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (Shz-IIV3) for each influenza season according to Chinese pharmacopeia requirements. However, the immunogenicity of Shz-IIV3 has not been compared to existing Chinese trivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV3s). Here, we describe the results of a phase IV, observer-blind, randomized study to evaluate whether the immunogenicity of Shz-IIV3 was non-inferior to a comparator IIV3 (Hualan Biological Engineering Inc) also manufactured and licensed in China. Healthy adults aged 18-59 years were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive a single 0.5-mL intramuscular injection of the 2017-2018 Northern Hemisphere formulation of Shz-IIV3 (n = 800) or the comparator IIV3 (n = 799). Between baseline and day 28 after vaccination, hemagglutination inhibition titers for the three vaccine strains increased by at least 4-fold and were of similar magnitude in Shz-IIV3 and comparator IIV3 recipients. The rate of seroconversion or significant increase in titers was 62% to 92% in Shz-IIV3 recipients, and 63% to 91% in comparator IIV3 recipients. Post-vaccination hemagglutination inhibition titers and seroconversion rates for Shz-IIV3 were statistically non-inferior to the comparator IIV3 for all three influenza vaccine strains. Rates of solicited and unsolicited vaccine-related adverse events were similar between the two vaccine groups. These results demonstrated that Shz-IIV3 was as immunogenic and safe in adults as a comparator Chinese IIV3, and support the continued use of Shz-IIV3 in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy has improved metastatic cancer patient survival, but response rates remain low. There is an unmet need to identify mechanisms and tools to circumvent resistance. In human patients, responses to checkpoint blockade therapy correlate with tumor mutation load, and intrinsic resistance associates with pre-treatment signatures of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), immunosuppression, macrophage chemotaxis and TGFβ signaling. METHODS To facilitate studies on mechanisms of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) evasion of checkpoint blockade immunotherapy, we sought to develop a novel panel of murine syngeneic SCC lines reflecting the heterogeneity of human cancer and its responses to immunotherapy. We characterized six Kras-driven cutaneous SCC lines with a range of mutation loads. Following implantation into syngeneic FVB mice, we examined multiple tumor responses to α-PD-1, α-TGFβ or combinatorial therapy, including tumor growth rate and regression, tumor immune cell composition, acquired tumor immunity, and the role of cytotoxic T cells and Tregs in immunotherapy responses. RESULTS We show that α-PD-1 therapy is ineffective in establishing complete regression (CR) of tumors in all six SCC lines, but causes partial tumor growth inhibition of two lines with the highest mutations loads, CCK168 and CCK169. α-TGFβ monotherapy results in 20% CR and 10% CR of established CCK168 and CCK169 tumors respectively, together with acquisition of long-term anti-tumor immunity. α-PD-1 synergizes with α-TGFβ, increasing CR rates to 60% (CCK168) and 20% (CCK169). α-PD-1 therapy enhances CD4 + Treg/CD4 + Th ratios and increases tumor cell pSmad3 expression in CCK168 SCCs, whereas α-TGFβ antibody administration attenuates these effects. We show that α-TGFβ acts in part through suppressing immunosuppressive Tregs induced by α-PD-1, that limit the anti-tumor activity of α-PD-1 monotherapy. Additionally, in vitro and in vivo, α-TGFβ acts directly on the tumor cell to attenuate EMT, to activate a program of gene expression that stimulates immuno-surveillance, including up regulation of genes encoding the tumor cell antigen presentation machinery. CONCLUSIONS We show that α-PD-1 not only initiates a tumor rejection program, but can induce a competing TGFβ-driven immuno-suppressive program. We identify new opportunities for α-PD-1/α-TGFβ combinatorial treatment of SCCs especially those with a high mutation load, high CD4+ T cell content and pSmad3 signaling. Our data form the basis for clinical trial of α-TGFβ/α-PD-1 combination therapy (NCT02947165).

Abstract
BACKGROUND LTCBDE combined with or without modified techniques is safe and efficacious for the management of gallstones and concomitant, even large, common bile duct (CBD) stones. METHODS To describe the surgical indications and procedure strategies of laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE), a retrospective analysis of 205 patients with concomitant gallstones and CBD stones treated using LTCBDE between June 2008 and June 2015 was performed. Clinical data on disease characteristics, methods for cystic duct incision and CBD stone extraction (with or without laser lithotripsy), and surgical outcomes were collected and reviewed. RESULTS CBD stones were successfully cleared in all patients. No patient was converted to choledochotomy or laparotomy. The cystic duct diameter ranged 3-8 mm, and 85 patients with cystic duct diameter ≥ 5 mm. The mean time for CBD stone extraction was 25.3 min, with the operative time ranged from 63 to 170 min. Lithotripsy was used in 74 (36.1%) patients among which 26 patients with cystic duct diameter ≥ 5 mm. Estimated blood loss during surgery was 10-120 ml per patient, and no intra-operative blood transfusions were needed. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.1 (range 3-7) days, and postoperative complications developed in seven patients. No bile duct injury, stricture, remnant, recurrent stones, or other adverse events were observed during the mean follow-up of 8 months. CONCLUSIONS Based on preoperative MRCP and intra-operative IOC findings about cystic duct diameter, the diameter of CBD, CBD stone size, we summarized and proposed the surgical indications and suitable techniques and strategies during LTCBDE.

Abstract
Background:
Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) represent a viable cell source for clinical application and other purposes, such as disease modeling and drug discovery for cardiovascular diseases. However, their immature phenotype limits their utility for these applications. It is widely known that the transition from fetal to adult heart during development is accompanied by an alteration in energy metabolism from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation (FAO), respectively. Using this metabolic hallmark of cardiomyocyte maturation, we investigated a platform that combines three-dimensional (3D) cell cultivation and molecules that target key pathways involved in the energy metabolism of cardiomyocytes.
Methods:
Cardiac spheres of highly-enriched hPSC-CMs were generated from cardiac-differentiated cultures and treated with a combination of five molecules or control (DMSO) for one week. We used functional, morphological, transcriptome and metabolome analyses to assess the maturation status of hPSC-CMs.
RESULTS:
Treatment of 3D hPSC-CMs with a combination of five molecules elicited increased FAO along with mitochondrial respiratory capacity. These changes in oxidative capacity were associated with increased mitochondrial content and DNA. In addition, cardiac spheres treated with combined molecules displayed enhanced calcium transient kinetics when compared to control cells. RNA sequencing revealed upregulation of genes involved in many cellular metabolic processes, including FAO. Lastly, metabolic profiling of these cardiac spheres identified more than one hundred metabolites that were altered upon treatment.
Conclusions:
Our study showed that microscale tissue engineering along with treatment of hPSC-CMs with a combination of five molecules increase mitochondrial function, alter molecular and metabolic profiles, and potentially improve cardiomyocyte maturation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Talaromyces marneffei is an opportunistic infection with high morbidity among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS patients in Southeast Asia and southern China. Its effects on mortality in HIV/AIDS patients has not been clearly elucidated. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of hospitalized HIV-infected individuals at the Fourth People's Hospital of Nanning, Guangxi, China during 2012-2015. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to calculate the cumulative mortality. Cox proportional hazard models and 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) were used to evaluate the effects of T. marneffei infection on mortality of HIV/AIDS patients. RESULTS In total, 6791 HIV/AIDS patients were included, 1093 of them (16.1%) with documented T. marneffei co-infection. The mortality of T. marneffei-infected patients (25.0 per 100 person-months, 95% CI 21.5-26.7) was the highest among all AIDS-associated complications and was significantly higher than that of T. marneffei-uninfected HIV/AIDS patients (13.8 per 100 person-months, 95% CI 12.5-15.1; adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) 1.80, 95% CI 1.48-2.16). The results using PSM were similar (AHR 4.52 95% CI 2.43-8.42). The mortality of T. marneffei-infected patients was also significantly higher than that of patients without any complications. When stratified by demographic characteristics, T. marneffei infection has higher mortality risk in all stratifications. Co-infection with T. marneffei carries a higher mortality risk in patients at any CD4+ T-cell count. CONCLUSIONS Talaromyces marneffei infection is commonly found in hospitalized HIV/AIDS patients in southern China and was associated with a higher mortality rate than most HIV-associated complications. These results highlight the need for improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of infection by this neglected fungal pathogen in southern China.
