Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on cancer has yet to be fully elucidated. OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on cancer. METHODS We searched the PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov databases up to July 15, 2023, to identify eligible randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that lasted at least ≥24 weeks. The primary outcome was the overall cancer incidence, and the secondary outcomes were the incidences of various types of cancer. We used the Mantel-Haenszel method, fixed effects model, risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) to analyze dichotomous variables. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the SGLT2 inhibitor type, baseline conditions, and follow-up duration. All meta-analyses were performed using RevMan5.4.1 and Stata MP 16.0. RESULTS A total of 58 publications (59 trials) were included, comprising 113,909 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or chronic kidney disease and/or high cardiovascular risk and/or heart failure (SGLT2 inhibitor group, 63864; placebo group, 50045). Compared to the placebo SGLT2 inhibitors did not significantly increase the overall incidence of cancer (RR 1.01; 95% CI 0.94-1.08; p = 0.82). However, ertugliflozin did significantly increase the overall incidence of cancer (RR 1.29; 95% CI 1.01-1.64; p = 0.04). SGLT2 inhibitors did not increase the risks of bladder or breast cancer. However, dapagliflozin did significantly reduce the risk of bladder cancer by 47% (RR 0.53; 95% CI 0.35-0.81; p = 0.003). SGLT2 inhibitors had no significant effect on the risks of gastrointestinal, thyroid, skin, respiratory, prostate, uterine/endometrial, hepatic and pancreatic cancers. Dapagliflozin reduced the risk of respiratory cancer by 26% (RR 0.74; 95% CI 0.55-1.00; p = 0.05). SGLT2 inhibitors (particularly mediated by dapagliflozin and ertugliflozin but not statistically significant) were associated with a greater risk of renal cancer than the placebo (RR 1.39; 95% CI 1.04-1.87; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitors did not significantly increase the overall risk of cancer or the risks of bladder and breast cancers. However, the higher risk of renal cancer associated with SGLT2 inhibitors warrants concern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) currently demonstrates a rising incidence, ranking as the predominant primary malignant tumor in the adolescent demographic. Notwithstanding this trend, the pharmaceutical landscape lacks therapeutic agents that deliver satisfactory efficacy against OS. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to authenticate the outcomes of prior research employing the HM and GEP algorithms, endeavoring to expedite the formulation of efficacious therapeutics for osteosarcoma. METHODS A robust quantitative constitutive relationship model was engineered to prognosticate the IC50 values of innovative synthetic compounds, harnessing the power of gene expression programming. A total of 39 natural products underwent optimization via heuristic methodologies within the CODESSA software, resulting in the establishment of a linear model. Subsequent to this phase, a mere quintet of descriptors was curated for the generation of non-linear models through gene expression programming. RESULTS The squared correlation coefficients and s2 values derived from the heuristics stood at 0.5516 and 0.0195, respectively. Gene expression programming yielded squared correlation coefficients and mean square errors for the training set at 0.78 and 0.0085, respectively. For the test set, these values were determined to be 0.71 and 0.0121, respectively. The s2 of the heuristics for the training set was discerned to be 0.0085. CONCLUSION The analytic scrutiny of both algorithms underscores their commendable reliability in forecasting the efficacy of nascent compounds. A juxtaposition based on correlation coefficients elucidates that the GEP algorithm exhibits superior predictive prowess relative to the HM algorithm for novel synthetic compounds.

Abstract
1. The ferritin heavy chain (FHC) has a vital impact on follicular development in geese, due to its ability to regulate apoptosis of granulosa cells (GCs) and follicular atresia. However, its specific regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. The present study characterised how FHC regulates oxidative stress, cell proliferation and apoptosis in goose GCs by interfering with and overexpressing the FHC gene.2. After 72 h of interference with FHC expression, the activity of GCs decreased remarkably (p < 0.05), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and the expression levels of antioxidant enzyme genes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) increased significantly (p < 0.05). The overexpression of FHC for 72 h was found to significantly reduce the expression of CAT and SOD genes (p < 0.05).3. Interfering with FHC expression revealed that the expression levels of the cell proliferation gene Aurora kinase A (AURORA-A) were significantly decreased (p < 0.05), while the expression levels of the apoptosis genes B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) and cysteine aspartate-specific protease 8 (CASPASE 8) increased (p < 0.05). Further research has shown that, when interfering with FHC expression for 72 h, apoptosis rate increased by 1.19-fold (p < 0.05), but the current data showed a lower apoptosis rate after FHC overexpression by 59.41%, 63.39%, and 52.31% at three different treatment times (p < 0.05).4. In conclusion, FHC improved the antioxidant capacity of GCs, promotes GCs proliferation, and inhibits GCs apoptosis of ovarian follicles in Sichuan white geese.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the value of whole exome sequencing for the inferential analysis of recessive genetic disease carrier status for couples with a child died of Primary immunodeficiency (PID). METHODS Clinical data was collected from four couples with a childbearing history of PID who had sought genetic counseling and undergone genetic testing at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from February 2017 to December 2021. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on both partners of each couple, and candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing and fluorescent quantitative PCR. Prenatal diagnosis was conducted on fetuses of these couples after confirming the variants. RESULTS A total of six variants were detected in four genes including IL2RG, BTK, CYBB, and DUOX2. Among these, the c.1265G>A and c.3329G>A variants of the DUOX2 gene and the c.676C>T variant of the IL2RG gene were previously known as pathogenic variants. On the other hand, the Exon5_8del variant of the IL2RG gene, the c.184_185delAC variant of the BTK gene, and the c.472A>T variant of the CYBB gene were unreported previously. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the IL2RG: Exon5_8del, BTK: c.184_185delAC and CYBB: c.472A>T variants were classified as likely pathogenic (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PP4).Prenatal diagnosis was conducted for three couples during their subsequent pregnancies, and the results revealed that the fetuses had the wild-type genotypes at the c.184_185 position of the BTK gene, the c.472 position of the CYBB gene, and the c.676 position of the IL2RG gene. Follow-up examinations one year after birth has found no abnormality in the infants. CONCLUSION WES is an important tool to infer and analyze the carrier status for couples who had given births to children died of PID and improve the positive detection rate.

Abstract
Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rarely documented benign osseous neoplasm, particularly with respect to its incidence in the lumbar spinal region. CMF predominantly manifests in vertebral bodies, exhibiting atypical emergence in ancillary anatomical sites. The present report describes, to the best of our knowledge, the second documented instance of CMF originating from the lumbar facet joint. The present case provides an example of CMF in the lumbar facet joint precipitating spinal canal stenosis, thereby engendering neurological manifestations in the lower extremities due to neoplastic proliferation through the intervertebral foramen. The present therapeutic intervention entailed surgical excision of the neoplasm concomitant with facet joint arthrodesis, with the objective of achieving comprehensive neoplasm eradication, ameliorating the symptomatology and safeguarding the spinal structural integrity of the patient. The present study aimed to illustrate the clinical implications of this rare neoplasm, thereby elucidating the diagnostic quandaries and therapeutic complexities associated with CMF in the lumbar facet joint. In addition, the present study aimed to augment the existing knowledge for the diagnosis and clinical management of CMF.

Abstract
Microhaplotypes (MHs), small sets of linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), are becoming a valuable tool for paternity testing, personal identification and other different forensic purposes due to their advantages of both short tandem repeats (STRs) and SNPs. However, only a small part of MHs with small segments have been developed and reported so far. And the current population genetic data of MHs are still insufficient. MHs with small segments possess unique advantages in mixture deconvolution, degradation material identification, noninvasive prenatal paternity testing and even medical tumor diagnostic applications. In the present study, a set of 90 autosomal MHs whose PCR amplicon lengths are from 90-150 bp, of which 58 MHs are less than or equal to 100 bp are selected, and assembled into an amplification multiplex system optimized for Ion S5™ System for forensic application. Genetic diversity study of 90 MHs in the populations from different intercontinental regions shows that the polymorphism information content (PIC) values of 83 MHs are greater than 0.4 in populations from East Asia (EAS), and the average PIC value of 90 MHs is greater than 0.5. A total of EAS populations shows the highest cumulative match probability (CMP) and cumulative probability of exclusion (CPE) values in five intercontinental populations. The CMP and CPE values of 90 MHs in EAS are 1.1688 × 10-54 and 0.999999999998954. The informativeness for assignment (In) values of the 90 MHs are calculated based on data from five intercontinental populations, and the In values of 20 MHs have greater than 0.1, indicating that the 20 MHs are high effectiveness in distinguishing different intercontinental populations, which can be used as candidate ancestry informative markers. Further, we have studied the polymorphisms of the 90 MHs based on 224 unrelated individuals of Henan Han population, China, and obtained the frequency data of the 90 MHs. In the Henan Han population, the effective number of alleles (Ae) of the 90 MHs ranges from 1.7649 (MH45) to 3.9792 (MH50), and the Ae values of 10 MHs reach to 3.0; the Ae values of 80 MHs are greater than 2, and the average Ae value for these MHs is 2.422. The average expected heterozygosity, observed heterozygosity, PIC, matching probability, discrimination power and probability of exclusion values of 90 MHs in the Henan Han population are 0.5788, 0.5851, 0.5039, 0.2608, 0.7392 and 0.2806, respectively. The CMP value of 90 MHs in the study population is less than 10-54, and their CPE value reaches 0.999999999999999923. Moreover, the results of the depth of coverage, allele coverage ratio and noise level indicate that the 90 MH amplification system has well sequencing performance, and the sequencing results are reliable. The results indicate the 90 MHs show higher polymorphisms in the study population. The present panel can be well used in paternity testing and individual identification in the study population and even the populations from EAS.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine methylated modification has been shown to play roles in recurrent spontaneous abortion. We aimed to explore role of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C in the occurrence of recurrent spontaneous abortion. We collected embryonic villous tissues from 3 patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA group) and 3 normal control pregnancy patients. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing, RNA sequencing, methylated RNA immunoprecipitation quantitative PCR were conducted to detect the differentially expressed m6A methylation modification gene and regulatory gene in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing and RNA sequencing results showed that the mRNA expression level of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C significantly decreased in RSA group and mRNA expression level of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase increased. Real-time quantitative PCR confirmed the differential expression of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation quantitative PCR result showed that mRNA m6A modification level of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase decreased in RSA group. The results of western blotting, real-time quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence, matrigel invasion and wound healing assays indicated that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C might regulate the expression of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase by mediating m6A modification, thereby reducing the proliferation and migration of trophoblast cell line, ultimately leading to the occurrence of recurrent spontaneous abortion.

Abstract
Currently, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of growing interest as potential substitutes for antibiotic growth promoters in animal production. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of bioengineering artificial Parasin I protein (API) and artificial plectasin protein (APL) (named as compound bioengineering protein, CBP) on growth performance and intestinal health of broilers. A total of 450 one-day-old Arbor Acres male healthy broilers were randomly allotted to 5 dietary groups with 10 replicates of 9 individuals in each replicate and supplemented with 0, 250, 500, 750, and 1,000 mg/kg CBP for 6 wk. Dietary CBP supplementation increased (P < 0.01) body weight (6 wk), average daily gain (0-6 wk), and average daily feed intake (3-6 wk and 0-6 wk). CBP addition enhanced antioxidant capacity, which was accompanied by the higher (P < 0.05) activity of serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) (750 mg/kg), jejunal glutathione peroxidase (750 mg/kg), and T-AOC (500 and 1,000 mg/kg). Dietary CBP addition improved intestinal health, reflecting by the increased (P < 0.05) villus height to crypt depth ratio in the duodenum, the upregulated (P < 0.01) mRNA levels of claudin-1 (500 and 750 mg/kg) in the ileum, the downregulated (P < 0.01) mRNA expression of occludin (500 mg/kg) in the duodenum and claudin-1 (500 mg/kg) and occludin (500 and 750 mg/kg) in the jejunum, and the upregulated mRNA expression of (P < 0.01) mucin2 (MUC2) (1,000 mg/kg) in the duodenum. In addition, CBP upregulated (P < 0.01) IL-10 (1,000 mg/kg) in duodenum and ileum, and downregulated (P < 0.05) the mRNA expression of IL-6 (750 and 1,000 mg/kg), interferon-γ (1,000 mg/kg) in the jejunum and TNF-α (250 mg/kg) in the ileum. Furthermore, dietary CBP increased (P < 0.01) the abundance of total bacteria and Lactobacillus (500 and 750 mg/kg), and reduced (P < 0.05) the abundance of Escherichia coli (750 mg/kg) in the cecum. In conclusion, CBP supplementation enhances the antioxidant capacity, intestinal health, immune function, and ameliorates the gut microflora population, thus improving the growth performance of broilers. Dietary supplementation of 750 mg/kg CBP exhibits a better beneficial effect.

Abstract
Rationale and introduction It is of significance to assess the severity and predict the mortality of patients with connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD). In this double-center retrospective study, we developed and validated a radiomics nomogram for clinical management by using the ILD-GAP (gender, age, and pulmonary physiology) index system. Materials and methods Patients with CTD-ILD were staged using the ILD-GAP index system. A clinical factor model was built by demographics and CT features, and a radiomics signature was developed using radiomics features extracted from CT images. Combined with the radiomics signature and independent clinical factors, a radiomics nomogram was constructed and evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. The models were externally validated in dataset 2 to evaluate the model generalization ability using ROC analysis. Results A total of 245 patients from two clinical centers (dataset 1, n = 202; dataset 2, n = 43) were screened. Pack-years of smoking, traction bronchiectasis, and nine radiomics features were used to build the radiomics nomogram, which showed favorable calibration and discrimination in the training cohort {AUC, 0.887 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.827-0.940]}, the internal validation cohort [AUC, 0.885 (95% CI: 0.816-0.922)], and the external validation cohort [AUC, 0.85 (95% CI: 0.720-0.919)]. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram outperformed the clinical factor model and radiomics signature in terms of clinical usefulness. Conclusion The CT-based radiomics nomogram showed favorable efficacy in predicting individual ILD-GAP stages.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are a collection of degenerative conditions impacting the body's bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. MSDs affect approximately 1.71 billion individuals worldwide and are a significant cause of disability. Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor properties. In this review, we will discuss the research progress of structural analogs, derivatives, and nanomaterials that can improve the bioavailability of this natural drug. Curcumin may potentially retard the progression of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. These effects may be related to curcumin's targeting of multiple signalling pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Accurate prognostic prediction is beneficial for the management of patients with connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD). The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate a nomogram using clinical features and computed tomography (CT) based radiomics features to predict overall survival (OS) in patients with CTD-ILD, and to assess the incremental prognostic value the radiomics might add to clinical risk factors. MATERIALS & METHODS Patients from two clinical centers with CTD-ILD were enrolled in the present retrospective study. A radiomics signature, a clinical model and a combined nomogram were developed and assessed in the cohorts. The incremental value of radiomics signature to the clinical independent risk factors in survival prediction was evaluated. The models were externally validated to evaluate the model generalization ability. RESULTS A total of 215 patients (mean age, 53 years ± 14 [standard deviation], 45 men) were evaluated. Patients with higher radiomics scores had higher mortality risk than those with lower radiomics scores (Hazard ratio, 12.396; 95% CI, 3.364-45.680; P < 0.001). The combined nomogram showed better predictive capability than the clinical model did with higher C-indices (0.800, 0.738, 0.742 vs. 0.747, 0.631, 0.587 in the training, internal- and external-validation cohort, respectively), time-AUCs and overall net-benefit. CONCLUSION The radiomics signature is a potential prognostic biomarker of CTD-ILD and add incremental value to the clinical independent risk factors. The combined nomogram can provide a more accurate estimation of OS than the clinical model for CTD-ILD patients. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The developed combined nomogram showed accurate prognostic prediction performance, which is beneficial for the management of CTD-ILD patients. It also proved radiomics could extract prognostic information from CT images.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumonia-like primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) was commonly misdiagnosed as infectious pneumonia, leading to delayed treatment. The purpose of this study was to establish a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model to differentiate pneumonia-like PPL from infectious pneumonia. METHODS In this retrospective study, 79 patients with pneumonia-like PPL and 176 patients with infectious pneumonia from 12 medical centers were enrolled. Patients from center 1 to center 7 were assigned to the training or validation cohort, and the remaining patients from other centers were used as the external test cohort. Radiomics features were extracted from CT images. A three-step procedure was applied for radiomics feature selection and radiomics signature building, including the inter- and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs), a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify the significant clinicoradiological variables and construct a clinical factor model. Two radiologists reviewed the CT images for the external test set. Performance of the radiomics model, clinical factor model, and each radiologist were assessed by receiver operating characteristic, and area under the curve (AUC) was compared. RESULTS A total of 144 patients (44 with pneumonia-like PPL and 100 infectious pneumonia) were in the training cohort, 38 patients (12 with pneumonia-like PPL and 26 infectious pneumonia) were in the validation cohort, and 73 patients (23 with pneumonia-like PPL and 50 infectious pneumonia) were in the external test cohort. Twenty-three radiomics features were selected to build the radiomics model, which yielded AUCs of 0.95 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.94-0.99), 0.93 (95% CI: 0.85-0.98), and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.87-0.99) in the training, validation, and external test cohort, respectively. The AUCs for the two readers and clinical factor model were 0.74 (95% CI: 0.63-0.83), 0.72 (95% CI: 0.62-0.82), and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.62-0.84) in the external test cohort, respectively. The radiomics model outperformed both the readers' interpretation and clinical factor model ( P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS The CT-based radiomics model may provide an effective and non-invasive tool to differentiate pneumonia-like PPL from infectious pneumonia, which might provide assistance for clinicians in tailoring precise therapy.

Abstract
The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of bilirubin on the outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients who underwent radical CRC surgery. The levels of serum bilirubin, including total bilirubin (TBil), direct bilirubin (DBil) and indirect bilirubin (IBil), were divided into higher groups and lower groups according to the median. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze the independent predictors for overall complications and major complications. For TBil, the hospitalization time of the higher TBil group was longer than that of the lower TBil group (p = 0.014 < 0.05). For DBil, the higher DBil group had longer operation times (p < 0.01), more intraoperative bleeding (p < 0.01), longer hospital stays (p < 0.01), and higher rates of overall complications (p < 0.01) and major complications (p = 0.021 < 0.05) than the lower DBil group. For the IBil group, blood loss during operation (p < 0.01) and hospital stays (p = 0.041 < 0.05) in the higher IBil group were lower than those in the lower IBil group. In terms of complications, we found that DBil was an independent predictor for overall complications (p < 0.01, OR = 1.036, 95% CI = 1.014-1.058) and major complications (p = 0.043, HR= 1.355, 95% CI= 1.009-1.820). Higher preoperative DBil increase the risk of complications after primary CRC surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) is a comprehensive assessment indicator that can reflect inflammation and nutrition conditions. However, there are some controversies about whether ALI is an independent prognostic factor for gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing surgical resection. Thus, we aimed to clarify its prognostic value and explore the potential mechanisms. METHODS Four databases including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and CNKI were used for searching eligible studies from inception to June 28, 2022. All gastrointestinal cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric cancer (GC), esophageal cancer (EC), liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer were enrolled for analysis. We focused on prognosis most in the current meta-analysis. Survival indicators, including overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and cancer-special survival (CSS) were compared between the high ALI group and the low ALI group. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist was submitted as a supplementary document. RESULTS We finally included fourteen studies involving 5091 patients in this meta-analysis. After pooling the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), ALI was found to be an independent prognostic factor for both OS (HR = 2.09, I2 = 92%, 95% CI = 1.53 to 2.85, P < 0.01), DFS (HR = 1.48, I2 = 83%, 95% CI = 1.18 to 1.87, P < 0.01), and CSS (HR = 1.28, I2 = 1%, 95% CI = 1.02 to 1.60, P = 0.03) in gastrointestinal cancer. After subgroup analysis, we found that ALI was still closely related to OS for CRC (HR = 2.26, I2 = 93%, 95% CI = 1.53 to 3.32, P < 0.01) and GC (HR = 1.51, I2 = 40%, 95% CI = 1.13 to 2.04, P = 0.006) patients. As for DFS, ALI also has a predictive value on the prognosis of CRC (HR = 1.54, I2 = 85%, 95% CI = 1.14 to 2.07, P = 0.005) and GC (HR = 1.37, I2 = 0%, 95% CI = 1.09 to 1.73, P = 0.007) patients. CONCLUSION ALI affected gastrointestinal cancer patients in terms of OS, DFS, and CSS. Meanwhile, ALI was a prognostic factor both for CRC and GC patients after subgroup analysis. Patients with low ALI had poorer prognoses. We recommended that surgeons should perform aggressive interventions in patients with low ALI before the operation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have comprehensively investigated the prevalence and various potential risk factors for delirium among patients with advanced cancer admitted to the acute palliative care unit (APCU). Our objective was to evaluate the comprehensive association between delirium and various risk factors among patients with advanced cancer in an acute palliative care setting using a patient-based multicenter registry cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a multicenter, patient-based registry cohort study collected in South Korea between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020. Delirium was identified using a medical record review based on the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. RESULTS In total, 2,124 eligible patients with advanced cancer in the APCU met the inclusion criteria. There were 127 out of 2,124 patients (prevalence, 6.0%; 95% CI, 5.0 to 7.1) with delirium during admission. Delirium in patients with advanced cancer was associated with age >70 years (OR, 1.793; 95% CI, 1.246 to 2.581), male sex (OR, 1.675; 95% CI, 1.131 to 2.479), no chemotherapy during hospitalization (OR, 2.019; 95% CI, 1.236 to 3.298), hearing impairment (OR, 3.566; 95% CI, 1.176 to 10.810), underweight (OR, 1.826; 95% CI, 1.067 to 3.124), current use of opioid medication (OR, 1.942; 95% CI, 1.264 to 2.982), previous history of delirium (OR, 12.497; 95% CI, 6.920 to 22.568), and mental illness (OR, 2.333; 95% CI, 1.251 to 4.352). CONCLUSIONS In a large-scale multicenter patient-based registry cohort, delirium was associated with old age, male sex, no chemotherapy during hospitalization, hearing impairment, underweight, current use of opioid medication, and a history of delirium and mental illness. Our findings suggest physicians should pay attention to delirium in patients with advanced cancer admitted to the APCU with the above risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effectiveness of CT-based radiomics nomograms in differentiating adrenal lipid-poor benign lesions and metastases in a cancer population. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 178 patients with cancer history from three medical centres categorised as those with adrenal lipid-poor benign lesions or metastases. Patients were divided into training, validation, and external testing cohorts. Radiomics features were extracted from triphasic CT images (unenhanced, arterial, and venous) to establish three single-phase models and one triphasic radiomics model using logistic regression. Unenhanced and triphasic nomograms were established by incorporating significant clinico-radiological factors and radscores. The models were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve, Delong's test, calibration curve, and decision curve. RESULTS Lesion side, diameter, and enhancement ratio resulted as independent factors and were selected into nomograms. The areas under the curves (AUCs) of unenhanced and triphasic radiomics models in validation (0.878, 0.914, p = 0.381) and external testing cohorts (0.900, 0.893, p = 0.882) were similar and higher than arterial and venous models (validation: 0.842, 0.765; testing: 0.814, 0.806). Unenhanced and triphasic nomograms yielded similar AUCs in validation (0.903, 0.906, p = 0.955) and testing cohorts (0.928, 0.946, p = 0.528). The calibration curves showed good agreement and decision curves indicated satisfactory clinical benefits. CONCLUSION Unenhanced and triphasic CT-based radiomics nomograms resulted as a useful tool to differentiate adrenal lipid-poor benign lesions from metastases in a cancer population. They exhibited similar predictive efficacies, indicating that enhanced examinations could be avoided in special populations. KEY POINTS • All four radiomics models and two nomograms using triphasic CT images exhibited favourable performances in three cohorts to characterise the cancer population's adrenal benign lesions and metastases. • Unenhanced and triphasic radiomics models had similar predictive performances, outperforming arterial and venous models. • Unenhanced and triphasic nomograms also exhibited similar efficacies and good clinical benefits, indicating that contrast-enhanced examinations could be avoided when identifying adrenal benign lesions and metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a benign adrenal tumor with autonomous aldosterone production which causes hypertension and excess cardiovascular risk. Protein phosphorylation regulates aldosterone secretion from adrenal cortical cells, but how signaling networks are remodeled in APA remains unknown. METHODS We performed an integrated proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling of 15 APA and 10 matched nonfunctioning adrenocortical tumors (NFAT) based on the 4-dimensional label-free technique. We further validated our main findings in enlarged APA samples, mice, and adrenocortical cell line. RESULTS The proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling of APA and NFAT quantified 6500 proteins and 9797 phosphopeptides. We highlighted differentially expressed and phosphorylated proteins which modulated aldosterone synthesis and secretion from APA. As intracellular calcium is the central signal for aldosterone synthesis, our integrated calcium signaling network implicated wolframin in the control of calcium influx and aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) activation in APA (ratio of wolframin expression in APA to NFAT: 6.411, P<0.001). Among 97 APA cases for validation, a higher expression level of wolframin was associated with a higher plasma aldosterone concentration postcaptopril challenge test and a higher systolic blood pressure. In vitro, the secretion of aldosterone was enhanced by wolframin overexpression, while aldosterone secretion in response to potassium or angiotensin II was inhibited by the knockdown of wolframin. Further in vivo and in vitro data demonstrated the wolframin-calcium axis as an important regulator of CYP11B2 expression and aldosterone production. CONCLUSIONS Wolframin is a regulatory protein in aldosterone hypersecretion. Remodeled calcium transportation and mitochondrial function are involved in wolframin-related aldosterone secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Differentiating between solitary spinal metastasis (SSM) and solitary primary spinal tumor (SPST) is essential for treatment decisions and prognosis. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an MRI-based radiomics nomogram for discriminating SSM from SPST. METHODS One hundred and thirty-five patients with solitary spinal tumors were retrospectively studied and the data set was divided into two groups: a training set (n = 98) and a validation set (n = 37). Demographics and MRI characteristic features were evaluated to build a clinical factors model. Radiomics features were extracted from sagittal T1-weighted and fat-saturated T2-weighted images, and a radiomics signature model was constructed. A radiomics nomogram was established by combining radiomics features and significant clinical factors. The diagnostic performance of the three models was evaluated using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves on the training and validation sets. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was performed to assess the calibration capability of radiomics nomogram, and we used decision curve analysis (DCA) to estimate the clinical usefulness. RESULTS The age, signal, and boundaries were used to construct the clinical factors model. Twenty-six features from MR images were used to build the radiomics signature. The radiomics nomogram achieved good performance for differentiating SSM from SPST with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.980 in the training set and an AUC of 0.924 in the validation set. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test and decision curve analysis demonstrated the radiomics nomogram outperformed the clinical factors model. CONCLUSIONS A radiomics nomogram as a noninvasive diagnostic method, which combines radiomics features and clinical factors, is helpful in distinguishing between SSM and SPST.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes after simultaneous gastrectomy plus cholecystectomy in gastric cancer patients. PUBMED, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to Apr 15, 2021. Short-term surgical outcomes were compared between the simultaneous gastrectomy plus cholecystectomy group and the gastrectomy only group. Five retrospective studies with 3,315 patients and 1 randomized controlled trial with 130 patients were included. There was no significant difference in age, sex, surgical methods, or reconstruction. In terms of short-term outcomes, no significance was found in postoperative complications (odds ratio, OR = 1.08, I 2 = 24%, 95% CI = 0.78-1.50, P = 0.65), postoperative biliary complications (OR = 0.98, I 2 = 0%, 95% CI = 0.43-2.25, P = 0.96), mortality (OR = 1.28, I 2 = 0%, 95% CI = 0.49-3.37, P = 0.61), and postoperative hospital stay (MD = -0.10, I 2 = 0%, 95% CI = -0.73-0.54, P = 0.77) between the two groups. Simultaneous gastrectomy plus cholecystectomy in gastric cancer patients is safe and does not increase the short-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Pneumonia-type invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) and pneumonia show overlapping chest CT features as well as overlapping clinical characteristics. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to develop and validate a nomogram combining clinical and CT-based radiomics features to differentiate pneumonia-type IMA and pneumonia. METHODS. This retrospective study included 314 patients (172 men, 142 women; mean age, 60.3 ± 14.5 [SD] years) from six hospitals who underwent noncontrast chest CT showing consolidation and were diagnosed with pneumonia-type IMA (n = 106) or pneumonia (n = 208). Patients from three hospitals formed a training set (n = 195) and a validation set (n = 50), and patients from the other three hospitals formed the external test set (n = 69). A model for predicting pneumonia-type IMA was built using clinical characteristics that were significant independent predictors of this diagnosis. Radiomics features were extracted from CT images by placing ROIs on areas of consolidation, and a radiomics signature of pneumonia-type IMA was constructed. A nomogram for predicting pneumonia-type IMA was constructed that combined features in the clinical model and the radiomics signature. Two cardiothoracic radiologists independently reviewed CT images in the external test set to diagnose pneumonia-type IMA. Diagnostic performance was compared among models and radiologists. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed. RESULTS. The clinical model included fever and family history of lung cancer. The radiomics signature included 15 radiomics features. DCA showed higher overall net benefit from the nomogram than from the clinical model. In the external test set, AUC was higher for the nomogram (0.85) than for the clinical model (0.71, p = .01), radiologist 1 (0.70, p = .04), and radiologist 2 (0.67, p = .01). In the external test set, the nomogram had sensitivity of 46.9%, specificity of 94.6%, and accuracy of 72.5%. CONCLUSION. The nomogram combining clinical variables and CT-based radiomics features outperformed the clinical model and two cardiothoracic radiologists in differentiating pneumonia-type IMA from pneumonia. CLINICAL IMPACT. The findings support potential clinical use of the nomogram for diagnosing pneumonia-type IMA in patients with consolidation on chest CT.

BACKGROUND To develop a CT-based radiomics nomogram for the high-precision preoperative differentiation of gastric hepatoid adenocarcinoma (GHAC) patients from gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS 108 patients with GHAC from 6 centers and 108 GAC patients matched by age, sex and T stage undergoing pathological examination were retrospectively reviewed. Patients from 5 centers were divided into two cohorts (training and internal validation) at a 7:3 ratio, the remaining patients were external test cohort. Venous-phase CT images were retrieved for tumor segmentation and feature extraction. A radiomics model was developed by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method. The nomogram was developed by clinical factors and the radiomics score. RESULTS 1409 features were extracted and a radiomics model consisting of 19 features was developed, which showed a favorable performance in discriminating GHAC from GAC (AUCtraining cohort = 0.998, AUCinternal validation set = 0.942, AUCexternal test cohort = 0.731). The radiomics nomogram, including the radiomics score, AFP, and CA72_4, achieved good calibration and discrimination (AUCtraining cohort = 0.998, AUCinternal validation set = 0.954, AUCexternal test cohort = 0.909). CONCLUSIONS The noninvasive CT-based nomogram, including radiomics score, AFP, and CA72_4, showed favorable predictive efficacy for differentiating GHAC from GAC and might be useful for clinical decision-making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To establish and verify a radiomics nomogram for differentiating isolated micronodular adrenal hyperplasia (iMAD) from lipid-poor adenoma (LPA) based on computed tomography (CT)-extracted radiomic features. METHODS A total of 148 patients with iMAD or LPA were divided into three cohorts: a training cohort (n = 72; 37 iMAD and 35 LPA), a validation cohort (n = 36; 22 iMAD and 14 LPA), and an external validation cohort (n = 40; 20 iMAD and 20 LPA). Radiomics features were extracted from contrast-enhanced and non-contrast CT images. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was applied to develop a triphasic radiomics model and unenhanced radiomics model using reproducible radiomics features. A clinical model was constructed using certain laboratory variables and CT findings. Radiomics nomogram was established by selected radiomics signature and clinical factors. Nomogram performance was assessed by calibration curve, the areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Eleven and eight extracted features were finally selected to construct an unenhanced radiomics model and a triphasic radiomics model, respectively. There was no significant difference in AUC between the two models in the external validation cohort (0.838 vs. 0.843, p = 0.949). The radiomics nomogram inclusive of the unenhanced model, maximum diameter, and aldosterone showed the AUC of 0.951, 0.938, and 0.893 for the training, validation, and external validation cohorts, respectively. The nomogram showed good calibration, and the DCA demonstrated the superiority of the nomogram compared with the clinical factors model alone in terms of clinical usefulness. CONCLUSIONS A radiomics nomogram based on unenhanced CT images and clinical variables showed favorable performance for distinguishing iMAD from LPA. In addition, an efficient unenhanced model can help avoid extra contrast-enhanced scanning and radiation risk.

Abstract
Background Early identification of synchronous distant metastasis (SDM) in patients with clear cell Renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) can certify the reasonable diagnostic examinations. Methods This retrospective study recruited 463 ccRCC patients who were divided into two cohorts (training and internal validation) at a 7:3 ratio. Besides, 115 patients from other hospital were assigned external validation cohort. A radiomics signature was developed based on features by means of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method. Demographics, laboratory variables and CT findings were combined to develop clinical factors model. Integrating radiomics signature and clinical factors model, a radiomics nomogram was developed. Results Ten features were used to build radiomics signature, which yielded an area under the curve (AUC) 0.882 in the external validation cohort. By incorporating the clinical independent predictors, the clinical model was developed with AUC of 0.920 in the external validation cohort. Radiomics nomogram (external validation, 0.925) had better performance than clinical factors model or radiomics signature. Decision curve analysis demonstrated the superiority of the radiomics nomogram in terms of clinical usefulness. Conclusions The CT-based nomogram could help in predicting SDM status in patients with ccRCC, which might provide assistance for clinicians in making diagnostic examinations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), one of the key features of vulnerable plaques, has been shown to be associated with increased risk of stroke. The aim is to develop and validate a CT-based radiomics nomogram incorporating clinical factors and radiomics signature for the detection of IPH in carotid arteries. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed the patients with carotid plaques on CTA from January 2013 to January 2021 at two different institutions. Radiomics features were extracted from CTA images. Demographics and CT characteristics were evaluated to build a clinical factor model. A radiomics signature was constructed by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method. A radiomics nomogram combining the radiomics signature and independent clinical factors was constructed. The area under curves of three models were calculated by receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS A total of 46 patients (mean age, 60.7 years ± 10.4 [standard deviation]; 36 men) with 106 carotid plaques were in the training set, and 18 patients (mean age, 61.4 years ± 10.1; 13 men) with 38 carotid plaques were in the external test sets. Stenosis was the independent clinical factor. Eight features were used to build the radiomics signature. The area under the curve (AUC) of the radiomics nomogram was significantly higher than that of the clinical factor model in both the training (p = 0.032) and external test (p = 0.039) sets. CONCLUSIONS A CT-based radiomics nomogram showed satisfactory performance in distinguishing carotid plaques with and without intraplaque hemorrhage.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are a network structure composed of loose chromatin and embedded with multiple proteins. Here, we observed increased NETs deposition in the glomeruli of DKD patients and diabetic mice (streptozotocin-induced or db/db mice). After NETs were degraded with DNase I, diabetic mice exhibited attenuated glomerulopathy and glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) injury. We also observed alleviated glomerulopathy and GECs injury in peptidylarginine deiminase 4-knockout mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. In vitro, NETs-induced GECs pyroptosis was characterized by pore formation in the cell membrane, dysregulation of multiple genes involved in cell membrane function, and increased expression of pyroptosis-related proteins. Strengthening the GECs surface charge by oleylamine significantly inhibited NETs-induced GECs pyroptosis. These findings suggest that the GECs charge-related pyroptosis is involved in DKD progression, which is promoted by NETs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence suggests that non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) might benefit less from immunotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from consecutive patients with non-viral advanced HCC, treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, lenvatinib, or sorafenib, in 36 centers in 4 countries (Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, and UK). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib, and OS and PFS with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib. For the primary and secondary endpoints, we carried out the analysis on the whole population first, and then we divided the cohort into two groups: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) population and non-NAFLD/NASH population. RESULTS One hundred and ninety patients received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, 569 patients received lenvatinib, and 210 patients received sorafenib. In the whole population, multivariate analysis showed that treatment with lenvatinib was associated with a longer OS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44-0.95; P = 0.0268] and PFS (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.51-0.86; P = 0.002) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the NAFLD/NASH population, multivariate analysis confirmed that lenvatinib treatment was associated with a longer OS (HR 0.46; 95% CI 0.26-0.84; P = 0.0110) and PFS (HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.38-0.82; P = 0.031) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the subgroup of non-NAFLD/NASH patients, no difference in OS or PFS was observed between patients treated with lenvatinib and those treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. All these results were confirmed following propensity score matching analysis. By comparing patients receiving atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib, no statistically significant difference in survival was observed. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis conducted on a large number of advanced non-viral HCC patients showed for the first time that treatment with lenvatinib is associated with a significant survival benefit compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, in particular in patients with NAFLD/NASH-related HCC.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of our study was to investigate the effect of pre-operative hypoalbuminemia on the short-term outcomes after primary colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. Materials and methods The retrospective study enrolled CRC patients who underwent primary surgery from January 2011 to December 2021 in a single teaching hospital. The short-term outcomes were compared between the hypoalbuminemia group and the normal group using propensity score matching (PSM). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used for analyzing independent predictors of overall complications and major complications. Results A total of 7,072 patients from a single center were enrolled in this study. There were 1,078 (15.2%) patients in the pre-operative hypoalbuminemia group and 5,994 (84.8%) patients in the normal pre-operative albumin group. After 1:1 PSM, there were 1,028 patients in the hypoalbuminemia group and 1,028 patients in the normal group. No significant differences were found in baseline information between the two groups after PSM. In terms of short-term outcomes, the hypoalbuminemia group had a longer operation time (p = 0.003), greater volume of blood loss (p = 0.036), longer hospital stays (p < 0.01), higher proportion of overall complications (p = 0.003), major complications (p = 0.016), higher incidence of pneumonia and abdominal infection (p = 0.001) than the normal group after PSM. Furthermore, hypoalbuminemia was an independent predictor for overall complications (p = 0.008) and major complications (p = 0.016). Conclusion Pre-operative hypoalbuminemia increased overall complications and major complications after primary CRC surgery. Furthermore, hypoalbuminemia was an independent predictor for overall complications and major complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies reported hypertension remission after gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients, and the remission rate was 11.1%-93.8%. We have reported the factors of hypertension remission previously, however, the follow-up time was six months. It is necessary to identify risk factors for hypertension for a relatively longer follow-up time.
AIM To analyze the predictive factors for hypertension remission one year after gastrectomy of gastric cancer patients and to construct a risk model for hypertension remission.
METHODS We retrospectively collected the medical information of patients with concurrent gastric cancer and hypertension in a single clinical center from January 2013 to December 2020. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression of hypertension remission were conducted, and a nomogram model was established.
RESULTS A total of 209 patients with concurrent gastric cancer and hypertension were included in the current study. There were 108 patients in the remission group and 101 patients in the non-remission group. The hypertension remission rate was 51.7% one year after gastrectomy. The remission group had younger aged patients (P = 0.001), larger weight loss (P = 0.001), lower portion of coronary heart disease (P = 0.017), higher portion of II-degree hypertension (P = 0.033) and higher portion of total gastrectomy (P = 0.008) than the non-remission group. Younger age (P = 0.011, odds ratio = 0.955, 95%CI: 0.922-0.990), higher weight loss (P = 0.019, odds ratio = 0.937, 95%CI: 0.887-0.989) and total gastrectomy (P = 0.039, odds ratio = 2.091, 95%CI: 1.037-4.216) were independent predictors for hypertension remission. The concordance index of the model was 0.769 and the calibration curve suggested great agreement. Furthermore, decision curve analysis showed that the model was clinically useful.
CONCLUSION Younger age, higher weight loss and total gastrectomy were independent predictors for hypertension remission after gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients. The nomogram could visually display these results.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) affects the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after primary surgery and to analyze the effect of the specific components of MetS on CRC prognosis. METHODS The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to July 29, 2021. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between the MetS group and the non-MetS group. RESULTS The studies included in the meta-analysis included 4773 patients. All seven studies compared OS between the two groups, and after pooling all hazard ratios (HRs), no significant difference was found between the MetS group and the non-MetS group (HR = 1.17, 95% CI = 0.91 to 1.49, P = 0.21). Four studies compared DFS between the MetS group and the non-MetS group after pooling all the HRs, and there was no difference between the MetS group and the non-MetS group (HR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.74 to 1.49, P = 0.21). Among the specific components of MetS, high fasting plasma glucose levels (HR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.00 to 1.58, P = 0.05) had a marginally significant association with poor OS. CONCLUSION MetS may not affect the prognosis of CRC after primary surgery. However, high fasting plasma glucose levels might contribute to poor OS.

Abstract
Background Whether hypokalemia can affect the short-term outcomes of CRC patients after radical surgery remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of preoperative hypokalemia on the short-term outcomes for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who underwent radical CRC surgery using propensity score matching (PSM). Methods We retrospectively enrolled consecutive CRC patients from Jan 2011 to Dec 2021 in a single-center hospital. Hypokalemia was defined as a serum potassium concentration < 3.5 mmol/L. The short-term outcomes were compared between the hypokalemia group and the normal blood potassium group. In addition, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for overall complications. Results A total of 6183 CRC patients who underwent radical surgery were included in this study, of whom 390 (6.3%) patients were diagnosed with hypokalemia before surgery. After 1:1 ratio PSM, there were 390 patients in the hypokalemia group and in the normal potassium group. No significant difference was found between the two groups after PSM in terms of baseline information (p > 0.05). Regarding short-term outcomes, the hypokalemia group had a longer hospital stay (p = 0.028), a higher proportion of overall complications (p = 0.048) and a higher incidence of postoperative pneumonia (p = 0.008) after PSM. Moreover, hypokalemia (p = 0.036, OR = 1.291, 95% CI = 1.017–1.639) was an independent risk factor for overall complications. Conclusion Preoperative hypokalemia could increase complications after CRC surgery and prolong the hospital stay. Moreover, preoperative hypokalemia was an independent risk factor for overall complications.

Abstract
Background Individual lifestyle varies in the real world, and the comparative efficacy of lifestyles to preserve renal function remains indeterminate. We aimed to systematically compare the effects of lifestyles on chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence, and establish a lifestyle scoring system for CKD risk identification. Methods Using the data of the UK Biobank cohort, we included 470,778 participants who were free of CKD at the baseline. We harnessed the light gradient boosting machine algorithm to rank the importance of 37 lifestyle factors (such as dietary patterns, physical activity (PA), sleep, psychological health, smoking, and alcohol) on the risk of CKD. The lifestyle score was calculated by a combination of machine learning and the Cox proportional-hazards model. A CKD event was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2, mortality and hospitalization due to chronic renal failure, and self-reported chronic renal failure, initiated renal replacement therapy. Results During a median of the 11-year follow-up, 13,555 participants developed the CKD event. Bread, walking time, moderate activity, and vigorous activity ranked as the top four risk factors of CKD. A healthy lifestyle mainly consisted of whole grain bread, walking, moderate physical activity, oat cereal, and muesli, which have scored 12, 12, 10, 7, and 7, respectively. An unhealthy lifestyle mainly included white bread, tea >4 cups/day, biscuit cereal, low drink temperature, and processed meat, which have scored −12, −9, −7, −4, and −3, respectively. In restricted cubic spline regression analysis, a higher lifestyle score was associated with a lower risk of CKD event (p for linear relation < 0.001). Compared to participants with the lifestyle score < 0, participants scoring 0–20, 20–40, 40–60, and >60 exhibited 25, 42, 55, and 70% lower risk of CKD event, respectively. The C-statistic of the age-adjusted lifestyle score for predicting CKD events was 0.710 (0.703–0.718). Conclusion A lifestyle scoring system for CKD prevention was established. Based on the system, individuals could flexibly choose healthy lifestyles and avoid unhealthy lifestyles to prevent CKD.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the current study was to compare the outcomes of temporary stoma through the specimen extraction site (SSES) and stoma through a new site (SNS) after laparoscopic low anterior resection. Methods The rectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection plus temporary ileostomy were recruited in a single clinical database from Jun 2013 to Jun 2020. The SSES group and the SNS group were compared using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Results A total of 257 rectal cancer patients were included in this study, there were 162 patients in the SSES group and 95 patients in the SNS group. After 1:1 ratio PSM, there was no difference in baseline information (p > 0.05). The SSES group had smaller intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.016 < 0.05), shorter operation time (p < 0.01) and shorter post-operative hospital stay (p = 0.021 < 0.05) than the SNS group before PSM. However, the SSES group shorter operation time (p = 0.006 < 0.05) than the SNS group after PSM, moreover, there was no significant difference in stoma-related complications (p > 0.05). In the multivariate analysis, longer operation time was an independent factor (p = 0.019 < 0.05, OR = 1.006, 95% CI = 1.001–1.011) for the stoma-related complications. Conclusion Based on the current evidence, the SSES group had smaller intraoperative blood loss, shorter operation time and shorter post-operative hospital stay before PSM, and shorter operation time after PSM. Therefore, SSES might be superior than SNS after laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer patients.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the oncologic outcomes of complications on colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who underwent primary surgery using a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Methods A retrospective study was conducted from Jan 2011 to Jan 2020 in a clinical center. The overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared among the no complications group, the major complications group and the minor complications group. Results A total of 4250 CRC patients who underwent radical primary surgery were included in the current study. Among them, 927 (21.8%) patients suffered complications. After 1:1 ratio PSM, there were 98 patients in the major complications group and in the minor complications group, and 911 patients in the overall complications group and in the no complications group. There was no significant difference in terms of baseline information after PSM (p>0.05). Complications were independent predictors of OS (p=0.000, HR=1.693, 95% CI=1.476-1.941) and DFS (p=0.000, HR=1.555, 95% CI=1.367-1.768). In terms of specific tumor stage, the no complications group had better OS on all stages (p=0.006) and stage III (p=0.003) CRC than the complications group after PSM. Furthermore, the no complications group had better DFS on all stages (p=0.005) and stage III (p=0.021) CRC than the complications group after PSM. However, there was no significant difference between the minor complications group and the major complications group in different tumor stages (p>0.05). Conclusion Complications were associated with poor prognosis of CRC and surgeons should be cautious of the adverse events.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of body mass index (BMI) on patients with concurrent colorectal cancer (CRC) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods Patients who underwent primary radical CRC surgery from Jan 2011 to Jan 2020 were retrospectively collected. The perioperative information, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between the higher BMI group and the lower BMI group. Results A total of 574 patients with concurrent CRC and T2DM were included in this study. The higher BMI group had higher portion of hypertension (p < 0.01) and coronary heart disease (CHD) (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the higher BMI group had better OS (p = 0.016) and DFS (p = 0.040) than the lower BMI group in stage II CRC. In multivariate analysis, age (OS: p = 0.002, HR = 2.016, 95% CI = 1.307–3.109/ DFS: p = 0.003, HR = 1.847, 95% CI = 1.230–2.772), TNM stage (OS: p < 0.01, HR = 1.667, 95% CI = 1.281–2.169/ DFS: p = 0.001, HR = 1.545, 95% CI = 1.207–1.977), overall complications (OS: p = 0.004, HR = 1.837, 95% CI = 1.218–2.880/ DFS: p = 0.006, HR = 1.783, 95% CI = 1.184–2.686) and major complications (OS: p = 0.005, HR = 2.819, 95% CI = 1.376–5.774/ DFS: p = 0.014, HR = 2.414, 95% CI = 1.196–4.870) were independent factors of OS and DFS. Moreover, BMI (p = 0.019, HR = 0.413, 95% CI = 0.197–0.864) was an independent factor of OS in stage II CRC. Conclusion Higher BMI was associated with better OS in diabetic patients with stage II CRC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Liver T1 is a potential magnetic resonance imaging biomarker for liver diseases. This study aimed to determine the T1 relaxation time of the normal liver (PDFF<5%) in healthy Asian volunteers using modified look-locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) and B1 inhomogeneity-corrected variable flip angle (B1-corrected VFA). METHODS 60 healthy Asian volunteers without focal or diffuse liver disease underwent a liver scan at 3T magnetic resonance. Proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and liver stiffness measurements were applied for the quantification of liver fat and fibrosis. T1 mapping was performed with MOLLI and B1-corrected VFA sequences. Bland-Altman, linear regression, Student t-test, and one-way analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The mean T1 relaxation times of the whole liver were 901 ± 34 ms by MOLLI, and 948 ± 29 ms by B1-corrected VFA in healthy volunteers. There was a strong correlation (r = 0.86, p < 0.0001) for liver T1 between two T1 mapping methods. There were significant differences between the right and left lobes in liver T1 relaxation times using both methods (p < 0.05). Gender and Asian ethnic disparities had no impact on liver T1 relaxation times. CONCLUSION T1 relaxation times of the normal liver (PDFF<5%) in healthy volunteers were established by MOLLI and B1-corrected VFA T1 mapping methods at 3T. It may provide suitable and robust baseline values for the assessment of liver diseases. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Gender and Asian ethnic disparities do not impact liver T1 relaxation time measurements.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term outcomes and prognosis of elderly and very elderly colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after primary CRC surgery using propensity score matching (PSM). Methods This study retrospectively collected the medical records of CRC patients ≥ 65 years old undergoing primary CRC surgery from Jan 2011 to Jan 2020. Short-term outcomes, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between very elderly CRC patients (≥ 80 years old) and elderly CRC patients (65–79 years old). Results A total of 2084 patients were enrolled for analysis. After PSM, 331 very elderly patients were matched to 331 elderly patients. In terms of short-term outcomes, the very elderly patients had longer postoperative hospital stays (p = 0.007) after PSM. In terms of OS, it was found that age (p < 0.01, HR = 1.878, 95% CI 1.488–2.371), tumor stage (p < 0.01, HR = 1.865, 95% CI 1.603–2.170), overall complications (p < 0.01, HR = 1.514, 95% CI 1.224–1.872) and major complications (p = 0.001, HR = 2.012, 95% CI 1.319–3.069) were independent prognostic factors. For DFS, age (p < 0.01, HR = 1.816, 95% CI 1.579–2.088), tumor stage (p < 0.01, HR = 1.816, 95% CI 1.579–2.088), overall complications (p = 0.002, HR = 1.379, 95% CI 1.128–1.685) and major complications (p = 0.002, HR = 1.902, 95% CI 1.259–2.874) were found to be independent prognostic factors. Moreover, elderly patients had a better OS and DFS than very elderly patients. Conclusion Very elderly patients had a poorer prognosis than elderly patients after primary CRC surgery. Surgeons should be cautious when treating very elderly CRC patients.

Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of the current study was to analyze the effect of intraoperative blood loss (IBL) and intraoperative blood transfusion (IBT) on the short-term outcomes and prognosis for patients who underwent primary colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery.MethodsWe retrospectively collected the patients' information from the database of a teaching hospital from January 2011 to January 2020. IBL and IBT were collected and analyzed, and the propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed.ResultsA total of 4,250 patients with CRC were included in this study. There were 1,911 patients in the larger IBL group and 2,339 patients in the smaller IBL group. As for IBT, there were 82 patients in the IBT group and 4,168 patients in the non-IBT group. After 1:1 ratio PSM, there were 82 patients in the IBT group and 82 patients in the non-IBT group. The larger IBL group had longer operation time (p = 0.000 < 0.01), longer post-operative hospital stay (p = 0.000 < 0.01), smaller retrieved lymph nodes (p = 0.000 < 0.01), and higher overall complication (p = 0.000 < 0.01) than the smaller IBL group. The IBT group had longer operation time (p = 0.000 < 0.01), longer hospital stay (p = 0.016 < 0.05), and higher overall complications (p = 0.013 < 0.05) compared with the non-IBT group in terms of short-term outcomes. Larger IBL (p = 0.000, HR = 1.352, 95% CI = 1.142–1.601) and IBT (p = 0.044, HR = 1.487, 95% CI = 1.011–2.188) were independent predictive factors of overall survival (OS). Larger IBL (p = 0.000, HR = 1.338, 95% CI = 1.150–1.558) was an independent predictor of disease-free survival (DFS); however, IBT (p = 0.179, HR = 1.300, 95% CI = 0.886–1.908) was not an independent predictor of DFS.ConclusionBased on the short-term outcomes and prognosis of IBL and IBT, surgeons should be cautious during the operation and more careful and proficient surgical skills are required for surgeons.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical features and genetic variant in a patient with Usher syndrome. METHODS Whole exome sequencing was carried out for the patient. Suspected variants were validated by Sanger sequencing of her parents and fetus. RESULTS The proband was found to harbor compound heterozygous variants c.17_18insA (p.Tyr6Ter*) and c.4095_4096insA (p.Arg1366Lys fs*38) of the PCDH15 gene (NM_033056), which were respectively inherited from her father and mother. The same variants were not detected in 100 healthy controls. Based on the guidelines of the American Society of Medical Genetics and Genomics, both variants were predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+PM2+PP4). By prenatal diagnosis, her fetus was found to carry the c.4095_4096insA variant. After birth, the child has passed neonatal hearing screening test, and no abnormal auditory and visual function was found after the first year. CONCLUSION The compound heterozygous variants c.17_18insA (p.Tyr6Ter*) and c.4095_4096insA (p.Arg1366Lys fs*38) of the PCDH15 gene probably underlay the Usher syndrome is this proband.

Abstract
Purpose The current study aims to explore the outcomes of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on gastric cancer patients following gastrectomy through propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Methods A retrospective study of gastric cancer patients following gastrectomy was conducted in a single clinical center from January 2014 to December 2019. The short-term outcomes, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed between T2DM group and Non-T2DM group. Results A total of 703 patients were enrolled in this study. After 1:1 PSM, 84 patients in T2DM group and 84 patients in Non-T2DM were matched for final analysis. No significant difference was found in terms of operation time, intra-operative blood loss, retrieved lymph nodes, postoperative stay, blood transfusion and complications between T2DM group and Non-T2DM group (p > 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier curve implied that T2DM had no impact on OS or DFS. Cox regression was conducted to identify predictive factors for prognosis. Body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.039 < 0.05, HR = 0.725, 95% CI = 0.534–0.983), pre-operative lymphocyte (p = 0.017 < 0.05, HR = 0.678, 95% CI = 0.493–0.932), pathological tumor node metastasis (pTNM) stage (p = 0.000 < 0.05, HR = 2.619, 95% CI = 2.048–3.349) and complications (p = 0.006 < 0.05, HR = 1.528, 95% CI = 1.132–2.061) were predictive factors for OS, and BMI (p = 0.013 < 0.05, HR = 0.524, 95% CI = 0.315–0.872), pTNM stage (p = 0.000 < 0.05, HR = 2.619, 95% CI = 2.048–3.349) and complications (p = 0.008 < 0.05, HR = 1.892, 95% CI = 1.179–3.036) were independent predictive factors for DFS. Conclusion T2DM did not have an impact on gastric cancer patients following gastrectomy in terms of short-term outcomes and prognosis.

Abstract
The Qilianyu cluster of the Xisha (Paracel) Islands has one of the few remaining green turtle Chelonia mydas rookeries in the China region. Genetic samples were obtained from dead green turtle embryos and hatchlings salvaged from post-hatched nests at Middle Island (n = 3), North Island (n = 9) and South Sand (n = 1) of the Qilianyu cluster in 2017-2019. The ~800 bp mitochondrial DNA control region was sequenced from the samples, and 5 haplotypes were identified belonging to 2 documented clades (clades III and VIII), including 2 new haplotypes (CmP243.1 and CmP244.1) and 3 previously reported haplotypes (CmP18.1, CmP19.1, CmP20.1). These results were combined with previously published mtDNA data for the Qilianyu cluster and nearby (~93 km) Yongle Islands indicating a lack of differentiation based on truncated 384 bp control region sequences (exact test, p = 0.0997; FST = 0.015, p = 0.2760), to represent a single Xisha Islands rookery. The rookery at the Xisha Islands was significantly differentiated (p < 0.01) from all 19 management units (MUs) documented in the Indo-Pacific and Japan regions, supporting recognition of the Xisha Islands rookery as a new independent MU. The results will help inform national and international conservation action plans by China and the countries around the South China Sea to protect green turtles in the West Pacific Ocean.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the current study is to analyze the difference of short-term and oncologic outcomes between younger and older colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who underwent primary CRC surgery using a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. METHODS We retrospectively collected CRC patients who underwent primary surgery in a single clinical database from Jan 2011 to Jan 2020. The short-term and oncologic outcomes were compared between younger aged group and older aged group. RESULTS A total of 4599 patients were included in this study, and there were 4196 patients in older aged group and 403 patients in younger aged group. After 1:1 ratio PSM, there were 401 patients in each group. No significant difference was found in terms of baseline information after PSM (p>0.05). Younger aged group had larger retrieved lymph nodes before (p<0.001) and after PSM (p=0.001) than older aged group. In multivariate analysis, younger age was an independent predictor of better overall survival (OS) (p<0.001, HR=2.303, 95% CI=1.658-3.199) and disease-free survival (DFS) (p=0.008, HR=1.425, 95% CI=1.098-1.850). In terms of different tumor stage after PSM, younger aged group had better OS than older group in stage II (p<0.001) and stage IV (p=0.028) CRC, and younger aged group had better DFS than older group in stage II (p=0.016) CRC. CONCLUSION Younger CRC patients had larger retrieved lymph nodes and better prognosis than older CRC patients after primary CRC surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To report a rare case in which an IVF-ET twin pregnancy gave birth to a partial trisomy 21 chimera girl. Design: Case report. Setting: University hospital. Patient: A girl with partial trisomy 21 mosaicism after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Interventions:In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET). Main Outcome Measure: Karyotype analysis, Copy Number Variation sequencing (CNV-seq), stLFR-WGS, and Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis. Results: Being assisted with IVF and EF technology, the couple successfully gave birth to twin sisters at 37 weeks of gestational age. The NonInvasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) and Nuchal Translucency (NT) examination showed no detectable genetic abnormalities during pregnancy. However, the younger infant displayed growth retardation and feeding difficulties after birth, which was not observed in her twin sister. Further genetic counseling and diagnosis suggested that she is a Chimera with complex partial trisomy 21. The stLFR-WGS assay showed multiple CNV variations in Chr21 and STR analysis confirmed the paternal origin of the additional fragments. Conclusion: It is rare for IVF-ET-assisted twin pregnancy to give birth to a girl with a complex combination of abnormal Chr21, which might result from paternal chromosome rearrangement during meiosis and mitosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH). METHODS PCR and Sanger sequencing were carried out for the proband, and suspected variant was validated by Sanger sequencing in the pedigree. RESULTS The proband was found to harbor a novel variant of c.1352delA (p.N451Mfs*13) of the ADAR (NM_001111) gene. The same variant was found in her affected mother and sister, but not in her unaffected father, uncle, and 100 healthy individual. CONCLUSION The novel variant of the ADAR gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of DSH in this pedigree.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the current study was to analyze the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the short-term outcomes and prognosis of stage I–III colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing primary surgery. Methods Patients who underwent primary CRC surgery were retrospectively collected from Jan 2011 to Jan 2020 in a single clinical center. The short-term outcomes and prognosis were compared between T2DM group and non-T2DM group using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Results A total of 4250 patients were included in this study. There were 521 patients with T2DM and 3729 patients without T2DM. After 1:1 ratio PSM, there were 519 T2DM patients and 519 non-T2DM patients left in this study. No significant difference was found in baseline information after PSM (p>0.05). T2DM had higher overall complications (p=0.033) after PSM in terms of short-term outcomes. As for prognosis, T2DM group had worse overall survival (OS) in all stages (p=0.044), stage I (p=0.009) and stage II (p=0.021) of CRC and T2DM group had worse disease-free survival (DFS) than non-T2DM group in stage I (p=0.008) of CRC before PSM. However, T2DM did not affect the overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS) on different stages of CRC after PSM (p>0.05). Moreover, T2DM was not an independent predictor of OS or DFS (p>0.05). Conclusion T2DM increased overall complications after primary CRC surgery. However, T2DM might not affect OS and DFS of stage I–III CRC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Primary aldosteronism (PA) is characterized by the autonomous excessive production of aldosterone in the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone is associated with damages to heart muscle and skeletal muscle. The purpose of this study was to evaluate serum levels of muscle injury markers and their associated factors in patients with primary aldosteronism. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled subjects with PA and essential hypertension (EH) who had completed testing for serum high sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) and myoglobin from the database of the Chongqing Primary Aldosteronism Study (CONPASS). Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to analyze the influencing factors of myocardial injury markers. RESULTS In total, 278 patients with PA and 445 patients with EH were enrolled in this study. Compared with EH patients, serum concentrations of hs-TnT [7.0 (4.0-12.0) vs. 6.0 (3.0-11.0) ng/L; p=0.005] and myoglobin [24.2 (21.0-38.1) vs. 21.8 (21.0-31.9) μg/L; p=0.023] were significantly higher among PA patients, while no significant difference of CK-MB was found between two groups [1.4 (1.0-2.0) vs. 1.3 (0.9-1.9) μg/L; p=0.154]. Univariate linear regression analysis showed that myoglobin was negatively correlated with serum potassium (β=-0.31; p<0.01) and positively correlated with plasma aldosterone concentration (β=0.40; p<0.01) in the PA group, while no significant correlation was found between hs-TnT and biochemical parameters. After adjusting for multiple confounders, myoglobin was negatively correlated with serum potassium (β=-0.15; p<0.05) and positively correlated with plasma aldosterone concentration (β=0.34; p<0.01) in the PA group. CONCLUSIONS The serum level of myoglobin was significantly increased in PA patients, and myoglobin was independently correlated with plasma aldosterone concentration.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to develop a radiomics score (Rad-score) extracted from liver and spleen CT images in cirrhotic patients to predict the probability of esophageal variceal rebleeding. Methods: In total, 173 cirrhotic patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. A total of 2,264 radiomics features of the liver and spleen were extracted from CT images. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression was used to select features and generate the Rad-score. Then, the Rad-score was evaluated by the concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess the risk stratification ability of the Rad-score. Results: Rad-scoreLiver, Rad-scoreSpleen, and Rad-scoreLiver-Spleen were independent risk factors for EV rebleeding. The Rad-scoreLiver-Spleen, which consisted of ten features, showed good discriminative performance, with C-indexes of 0.853 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.776-0.904] and 0.822 (95% CI, 0.749-0.875) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The calibration curve showed that the predicted probability of rebleeding was very close to the actual probability. DCA verified the usefulness of the Rad-scoreLiver-Spleen in clinical practice. The Rad-scoreLiver-Spleen showed good performance in stratifying patients into high-, intermediate- and low-risk groups in both the training and validation cohorts. The C-index of the Rad-scoreLiver-Spleen in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) cohort was higher than that in the non-HBV cohort. Conclusion: The radiomics score extracted from liver and spleen CT images can predict the risk of esophageal variceal rebleeding and stratify cirrhotic patients accordingly.

Abstract
Objective To develop and evaluate a deep learning model (DLM) for predicting the risk stratification of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Methods Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT images of 733 patients with GISTs were retrospectively obtained from two centers between January 2011 and June 2020. The datasets were split into training (n = 241), testing (n = 104), and external validation cohorts (n = 388). A DLM for predicting the risk stratification of GISTs was developed using a convolutional neural network and evaluated in the testing and external validation cohorts. The performance of the DLM was compared with that of radiomics model by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) and the Obuchowski index. The attention area of the DLM was visualized as a heatmap by gradient-weighted class activation mapping. Results In the testing cohort, the DLM had AUROCs of 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.84, 0.96), 0.80 (95% CI: 0.72, 0.88), and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.83, 0.95) for low-malignant, intermediate-malignant, and high-malignant GISTs, respectively. In the external validation cohort, the AUROCs of the DLM were 0.87 (95% CI: 0.83, 0.91), 0.64 (95% CI: 0.60, 0.68), and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.81, 0.89) for low-malignant, intermediate-malignant, and high-malignant GISTs, respectively. The DLM (Obuchowski index: training, 0.84; external validation, 0.79) outperformed the radiomics model (Obuchowski index: training, 0.77; external validation, 0.77) for predicting risk stratification of GISTs. The relevant subregions were successfully highlighted with attention heatmap on the CT images for further clinical review. Conclusion The DLM showed good performance for predicting the risk stratification of GISTs using CT images and achieved better performance than that of radiomics model.
