Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of filler type/loading on the micro-tensile fracture strength (μTFS) of adhesive resins, as measured 'immediately' upon preparation and after 1-week water storage ('water-stored'). METHODS The morphology and particle-size distribution of three filler particles, referred to as 'Glass-S' (Esschem Europe), 'BioUnion' (GC), and 'CPC_Mont', were correlatively characterized by SEM, TEM, and particle-size analysis. These filler particles were incorporated into an unfilled adhesive resin ('BZF-29unfilled', GC) in different concentrations to measure the 'immediate' μTFS. After 1-week water storage, the 'water-stored' μTFS of the experimental particle-filled adhesive resins with the most optimum filler loading, specific for each filler type, was measured. In addition, the immediate and water-stored μTFS of the adhesive resins of three experimental two-step universal adhesives based on the same resin matrix but varying for filler type/loading, coded as 'BZF-21' (containing silica and bioglass), 'BZF-29' (containing solely silica), and 'BZF-29_hv' (highly viscous with a higher silica loading than BZF-29), and of the adhesive resins of the gold-standard adhesives OptiBond FL ('Opti-FL', Kerr) and Clearfil SE Bond 2 ('C-SE2', Kuraray Noritake) was measured along with that of BZF-29unfilled (GC) serving as control/reference. Statistics involved one-way and two-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc multiple comparisons (α<0.05). RESULTS Glass-S, BioUnion, and CPC_Mont represent irregular fillers with an average particle size of 8.5-9.9 μm. Adding filler to BZF-29unfilled decreased μTFS regardless of filler type/loading. One-week water storage reduced μTFS of all adhesive resins except BZF-21, with the largest reduction in μTFS recorded for BZF-29unfilled. Among the three filler types, the μTFS of the 30 wt% Glass-S and 20 wt% BioUnion filled adhesive resin was not significantly different from the μTFS of BZF-29unfilled upon water storage. CONCLUSIONS Adding filler particles into adhesive resin did not enhance its micro-tensile fracture strength but appeared to render it less sensitive to water storage as compared to the unfilled adhesive resin investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aims to explore the effect of COVID-19 infection on pregnant women in plateau regions. STUDY DESIGN Data from 381 pregnant women infected with COVID-19 who underwent prenatal examination or treatment at Women and Children's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region between January 2020 and December 2022 and 314 pregnant women not infected with COVID-19 were retrospectively collected. METHODS The study participants were divided into an infected and non-infected group according to whether they were infected with COVID-19. Basic information (ethnicity, age, body mass index and gestational age [GA]), vaccination status, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and delivery outcomes were compared. Binary logistic regression was used to analyse the influencing factors of ICU admission. RESULTS The results revealed significant differences in the GA, vaccination rate, blood pressure, partial pressure of oxygen, white blood cell (WBC) count, ICU admission rate, preeclampsia rate, forearm presentation rate, thrombocytopenia rate, syphilis infection rate and placental abruption rate between the two groups (P < 0.05). A univariate analysis showed that COVID-19 infection, hepatitis B virus infection, the WBC count and hypoproteinaemia were risk factors for ICU admission. The results of the multivariate analysis of the ICU admission of pregnant women showed that COVID-19 infection (odds ratio [OR] = 4.271, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 3.572-5.820, P < 0.05) was a risk factor for ICU admission and the WBC count (OR = 0.935, 95 % CI: 0.874-0.947, P < 0.05) was a protective factor for ICU admission. CONCLUSION Pregnant women are vulnerable to the adverse consequences of COVID-19 infection, and public health measures such as vaccination are needed to protect this population subgroup.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between soy product consumption and cancer risk varies among studies. Therefore, this comprehensive meta-analysis of observational studies examines the association between soy product consumption and total cancer risk. METHODS This study was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Up to October 2023, all eligible published studies were searched through PubMed and Web of Science databases. RESULTS A total of 52 studies on soy product consumption were included in this meta-analysis (17 cohort studies and 35 case-control studies). High consumption of total soy products (RR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.80), tofu (RR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.70, 0.86), and soymilk (RR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.93) were associated with reduced total cancer risk. No association was found between high consumption of fermented soy products (RR: 1.18; 95% CI: 0.95, 1.47), non-fermented soy products (RR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.77, 1.18), soy paste (RR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.88, 1.14), miso soup (RR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.87, 1.12), or natto (RR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.82, 1.11) and cancer risk. A 54 g per day increment of total soy products reduced cancer risk by 11%, a 61 g per day increment of tofu reduced cancer risk by 12%, and a 23 g per day increment of soymilk reduced cancer risk by 28%, while none of the other soy products were associated with cancer risk. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that high total soy product consumption, especially soymilk and tofu, is associated with lower cancer risk. More prospective cohort studies are still needed to confirm the causal relationship between soy product consumption and cancer risk.

Abstract
Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare malignant soft-tissue sarcoma derived from vascular endothelial cells or lymphatic endothelial cells, with a high malignancy, poor prognosis, and a lack of effective medical therapy. This article reports on two patients with primary cardiac angiosarcoma who received first-line treatment with multi-targeted anti-angiogenic agent, anlotinib monotherapy. The treatment rapidly controlled pleural and pericardial effusion, significantly reduced the tumor, improved symptoms, and showed satisfactory recent efficacy. This indicates that anlotinib offers a new first-line treatment option for advanced primary cardiac angiosarcoma.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of green spaces exposure on common psychiatric disorders. Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and MEDLINE were screened and articles published prior to November 15, 2023 were included. Analyses were performed on common psychiatric disorders, categorized into depression, anxiety, dementia, schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). And the subgroup analyses were conducted for depression, anxiety, dementia, and schizophrenia. Results In total, 2,0064 studies were retrieved, 59 of which were included in our study; 37 for depression, 14 for anxiety, 8 for dementia, 7 for schizophrenia and 5 for ADHD. Green spaces were found to benefit the moderation of psychiatric disorders (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.89 to 0.92). Green spaces positively influence depression (OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.93), regardless of the cross-sectional or cohort studies. Green spaces can also help mitigate the risk of anxiety (OR = 0.94, 95%CI:0.92 to 0.96). As an important index for measuring green spaces, a higher normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) level related to a lower level of depression (OR = 0.95, 95%CI:0.91 to 0.98) and anxiety (OR = 0.95, 95%:0.92 to 0.98). The protection was also found in dementia (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.93 to 0.96), schizophrenia (OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.67 to 0.82), and ADHD (OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.92) results. Conclusion Green spaces decrease the risk of psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, dementia, schizophrenia, and ADHD. Further studies on green spaces and psychiatric disorders are needed, and more green spaces should be considered in city planning.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution is a significant threat to both the environment and living organisms. This is especially vital considering the persistent and cumulative nature of heavy metal exposure, which can lead to severe and chronic health consequences for individuals. Therefore, implementing effective treatments is critical to addressing the serious public health issues posed by heavy metal pollution. In this study, nontargeted metabolomics was carried out to investigate the metabolic changes associated with long-term low-dose intake of mixed heavy metal pollutants (MHMPs) in liver, kidney, and plasma samples of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with and without treatment to reveal the underlying toxic effects of MHMPs and the effects of chemoprevention agents, including epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), trisodium citrate dihydrate (TCD), and glutathione (GSH). In the liver, kidney, and plasma, we observed a total of 21, 69, and 16 metabolites, respectively, exhibiting significant differences (P < 0.05, fold change >1.2 or <0.83, and VIP ≥ 1) between the control group and the mixture group. The findings demonstrated that exposure to MHMPs leads to the dysregulation of numerous metabolic pathways, with a particular emphasis on purine metabolism and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis with upregulated renal purine metabolites and downregulated hepatic purine metabolites as well as renal aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis-related metabolites. However, the application of chemical protectants was shown to partially restore the metabolic alterations induced by MHMPs, particularly purine metabolism-related metabolites, including hepatic adenine and renal adenine, guanine, guanosine, adenosine monophosphate (AMP), and hypoxanthine. In addition, liver adenosine, kidney inosine and L-phenylalanine were considered the main regulated sites based on their significant correlations with multiple heavy metals. Our study provides crucial insights into the toxicological mechanisms of heavy metal pollution and has the potential to guide the development of effective preventive strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Network pharmacology is a bioinformatics-based research strategy for identifying the mechanisms of drugs and promoting drug development. This study used network pharmacology to investigate the mechanism of the Loulu-Cremastrae Pseudobulbus drug pair treating breast cancer (BC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The ingredients and potential targets of the drug pair were searched with Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCSMP). National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and gene cards were used to search the targets of BC. Networks of "drugs-components-targets" and protein-protein interaction were constructed through Cytoscape. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were carried out through common targets. Using AutoDock tool, molecular docking was performed to verify the binding between key targets and compounds. RESULTS Finally, we selected 6 active compounds from the drug pair. A total of 61 targets were associated with the drug pair, and 15,295 targets were related to BC. 55 common targets were obtained after the intersection. The key targets included Transcription factor Jun (JUN), Heat shock protein HSP 90-alpha (HSP90AA1), and Caspase-3(CASP3). 327 terms were obtained by GO analysis. 78 pathways (p < 0.05) were identified through KEGG analysis. Molecular docking indicated that important compounds combined well with key targets. CONCLUSIONS Various active compounds, including beta-sitosterol, 2-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-4,5-diol, and stigmasterol, can regulate multiple signaling pathways related to BC, such as the estrogen and prolactin signaling pathways, playing therapeutic roles in BC.

Abstract
Inorganic metal chalcohalides, as significant semiconductor materials, have emerged as promising candidates for photoelectric applications. Herein, a new type of quaternary chalcohalide, [Ba4X][In19S32] (X = Cl, Br), has been discovered using the high-temperature halide salt flux method. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that they are isostructural and crystallize in the tetragonal space group I41/amd (no. 141) featuring the octahedral hole formed by six [InS4]5- tetrahedra filled with a [ClBa4]7+ polycation, surrounded by a three-dimensional covalent framework formed by interconnecting [InS6]9- octahedra through corner-sharing and edge-sharing. Moreover, [Ba4Cl][In19S32] and [Ba4Br][In19S32] exhibit wide optical bandgaps of 2.70 eV and 2.46 eV, respectively, and moderate birefringences (0.044 @ 2100 nm and 0.042 @ 2100 nm, respectively). Specifically, [Ba4X][In19S32] (X = Cl, Br) display remarkable photocurrent responses under simulated solar-light illumination, implying their potential for photocatalytic applications. Theoretical calculations were employed to understand the interrelationship between the optical properties and electronic structure. The study on the synthesis and structure-property relationship analysis of inorganic metal chalcohalides provides new insight into the exploration of promising photoelectric materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the HIV epidemic continues to grow, transmitted drug resistance(TDR) and determining relationship of HIV transmission are major barriers to reduce the risk of HIV transmissions.This study aimed to examine the molecular epidemiology and TDR and evaluated the transmission pattern among newly diagnosed people living with HIV/AIDS(PLWHA) in Ningbo city, which could contribute to the development of targeted precision interventions. METHODS Consecutive cross-sectional surveys were conducted in Ningbo City between January 2018 and December 2021. The HIV-1 pol gene region was amplified and sequenced for drug resistance and genetic transmission network analysis. TDR was determined using the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database. Genetic transmission network was visualized using Cytoscape with the genetic distance threshold of 0.013. RESULTS A total of 1006 sequences were sequenced successfully, of which 61 (6.1%) showed evidence of TDR. The most common mutations were K103N (2.3%), E138A/G/Q (1.7%) and V179D/E (1.2%). 12 HIV-1 genotypes were identified, with CRF07_BC being the major genotype (43.3%, 332/767), followed by CRF01_AE (33.7%, 339/1006). 444 (44.1%) pol sequences formed 856 links within 120 transmission clusters in the network. An increasing trend in clustering rate between 2018 and 2021(χ2 = 9.546, P = 0.023) was observed. The odds of older age (≥ 60 years:OR = 2.038, 95%CI = 1.072 ~ 3.872, compared to < 25 years), HIV-1 genotypes (CRF07_BC: OR = 2.147, 95%CI = 1.582 ~ 2.914; CRF55_01B:OR = 2.217, 95%CI = 1.201 ~ 4.091, compared to CRF01_AE) were significantly related to clustering. Compared with CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC were prone to form larger clusters. The largest cluster with CRF07_BC was increased from 15 cases in 2018 to 83 cases in 2021. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed distribution of HIV-1 genotypes, and genetic transmission network were diverse and complex in Ningbo city. The prevalence of TDR was moderate, and NVP and EFV were high-level NNRTI resistance. Individuals aged ≥ 60 years old were more easily detected in the networks and CRF07_BC were prone to form rapid growth and larger clusters. These date suggested that surveillance and comprehensive intervention should be designed for key rapid growth clusters to reduce the potential risk factors of HIV-1 transmission.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Comprehensive metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) for oligometastatic prostate cancer extended progression-free survival (PFS) and time to new lesion formation in the intermittent hormone therapy (HT) basket of EXTEND. To better understand the mechanism of MDT benefit, we pooled the intermittent and continuous HT baskets of EXTEND and tested the hypothesis that adding MDT to HT would program systemic T-cells to control micrometastatic disease. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 174 men were randomized to HT with or without MDT to up to 5 sites of metastases. HT was given for 6 months (intermittent basket, n = 87) or indefinitely (continuous basket, n = 87). Peripheral blood samples were drawn at enrollment, at the end of MDT, at 3 months follow-up (3 mo F/U), and at progression and then analyzed by flow cytometry, T-cell receptor (TCR)-β CDR3 variable region sequencing, multiplex cytokine profiling, and next-generation circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing. TCR clonal expansion was determined using a published betabinomial model. Repertoire changes were assessed by Morisita's index, and dominant TCR repertoire motifs were characterized with ImmunoMap. Associations between blood markers and PFS were evaluated with Cox regression adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) accounting for randomization arm and stratifying for intermittent vs continuous HT. RESULTS Randomization to MDT+HT was associated with T-cell activation, proliferation, and clonal expansion. This response was first observed at end-MDT as upregulated expression of T-cell activation and inhibition markers (i.e., ICOS, Tim-3, and LAG-3) and increases in highly proliferative CD4+ and CD8+ Ki67hi T-cells (all P<0.05). TCR sequencing of 7,678,911 T-cells revealed that MDT+HT was associated with TCR clonal expansion, remodeling of the TCR repertoire, and changes in dominant TCR motifs at end-MDT and 3 mo F/U (all P<0.05). Observed T-cell priming could be driven by signaling networks of canonical T-cell stimulatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-12, and IL-15), which were upregulated at end-MDT and persisted at 3 mo F/U (all P<0.05). This modulation of T-cell phenotype, clonotype, and cytokine concentrations was not observed in the HT-monotherapy arm. At end-MDT, systemic T-cell responses were associated with improved PFS, most notably CD8+ T-cell expression of LAG-3 (aHR 0.22, 95% CI 0.03-0.91) and high TCR clonal expansion (aHR 0.13, 95% CI 0.02-0.52). High ctDNA burden at end-MDT correlated with worse PFS (aHR 1.41, 95% CI 1.04-2.54), as did CD8+ T-cell expression of inhibitory receptor TIGIT at 3 mo F/U (aHR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.06). CONCLUSION The addition of MDT to HT induced systemic T-cell activation and expansion, which was not observed in the HT-only arm. This systemic immune response was independently associated with improved PFS. In addition to cytoreduction of macroscopic disease, MDT-induced immune education may be an important complementary mechanism of micrometastatic control in oligometastatic prostate cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Prior retrospective and prospective evidence have suggested a potential survival benefit of adding metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) to standard of care systemic therapy for oligometastatic breast cancer. This has led to the increased utilization of MDT in this setting despite the lack of randomized evidence to support this approach. Furthermore, the recent presentation of NRG-BR002 has questioned the value of MDT. Thus, we evaluated whether the addition of MDT to systemic therapy improves PFS in oligometastatic breast cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS EXTEND (NCT03599765) is a phase II randomized basket trial for multiple solid tumors testing whether the addition of MDT improves PFS. The primary endpoint was pre-specified to be independently assessed and reported for the breast basket when a minimum of 6 months of follow-up had been reached. Patients with ≤5 metastases were randomized to standard of care systemic therapy with or without MDT. The choice of systemic therapy was at the discretion of the treating medical oncologist. Number of metastatic lesions and prior lines of systemic therapy for metastatic disease were used as stratification variables pre-randomization. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) defined as time to randomization to date of clinical or radiographic progression or death. The study was designed to have 80% power to detect an improvement in median PFS from 18 to 36 months, with a type I error of 0.1. RESULTS Between September 2018 to July 2022, 43 patients were randomized. 22 patients were assigned to the MDT arm, and 21 patients to the no MDT arm. Three patients were not evaluable. The MDT arm patients were older vs the no-MDT arm patients (median 61.5 years vs 48 years, p = 0.01). Otherwise, the arms were well-balanced. Overall, 8 patients had triple negative disease (18.6%), and 12 patients (30%) had de novo metastatic disease. Of those patients with de novo presentation randomized to MDT, all except one had the primary tumor treated with surgery and radiation. At a median follow-up of 19.4 months, 20 events were observed. Among the 40 evaluable patients, there were 5 deaths (3 in the MDT arm and 2 in the no MDT arm). There was no difference in PFS between the MDT and no MDT arms (median 15.6 v 24.9 months, p = 0.66). Similarly, there was no difference in the secondary endpoint of time to new metastatic lesion appearance between the MDT and no MDT arms (median 15.6 months vs not reached, p = 0.09). Two grade 3 toxicities were observed in the MDT arm, and 1 in the no MDT arm. Further analysis of correlative translational biomarkers, including immune markers and ctDNA, are ongoing. CONCLUSION The addition of MDT to standard of care systemic therapy did not improve PFS or time to new metastatic lesion in patients with oligometastatic breast cancer. This data coupled with the recently presented NRG-BR002 results, suggests there is no benefit to MDT in an otherwise unselected oligometastatic breast cancer population.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Stereotactic spinal radiosurgery (SSRS) has been increasingly utilized as a first-line treatment for the management of spine metastases due to its ability to prolong survival and improve symptom control. Studies have shown that SSRS is helpful for select patients; however, there is no universal scoring system utilized to predict patient response to treatment. The Prognostic Index for Spinal Metastases (PRISM) score was shown to predict the likelihood of patients benefiting from SSRS. We sought to further demonstrate its generalizability by performing validation with a large dataset from a second high-volume institution. MATERIALS/METHODS We performed a retrospective review from 2017-2019 of 424 patients treated with SSRS at a single institution. Patients were stratified on the previously described PRISM criteria: Female sex (+2), solitary bone disease (+3), performance status (0 through +3.5), prior surgery at the SSRS site (+1), number of other metastatic sites (-N), prior radiation at the SSRS site (-1), and latency to treatment ≥ 5 months (+3). Patients were grouped based on PRISM scores: >7, Group 1; 4-7, Group 2; 1-3, Group 3; <1 Group 4. There were 89, 188, 88, and 59 patients in Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Most patients were male (70%) with a performance status of 0 (53%). The most common tumor histologies were prostate (34%), renal (18%), and lung (11%). The median biological effective dose (BED10) was 60 Gy (interquartile range [IQR], 60-82). We performed Cox proportional hazards analysis on overall survival (OS) based on PRISM score and patient and tumor characteristics. Concordance indices created from PRISM criteria and the multivariate Cox proportional analysis were compared. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 50.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 45.8-54.7) with a median overall survival of 30.3 months (95% CI, 27.3-38.4). The median overall survivals for PRISM Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 57.1, 37, 23.7, and 8.8 months, respectively. There were significant differences in overall survival among PRISM groups with hazard ratios of 0.49 (95% CI, 0.35-0.69; P<0.001) for Group 1, 0.71 (95% CI, 0.55-0.91); P<0.007) for Group 2, 1,45 (95% CI, 1.08-1.94); P = 0.010) for Group 3, and 3.47 (95% CI, 2.56-4.70; P<0.001) for Group 4. Multivariable Cox analysis for patient and tumor characteristics revealed only the number of organs involved and performance status as significant clinicopathologic prognostic attributes. However, the C-index using the PRISM criteria was 0.76, which was superior to the C-index when using the significant clinicopathologic attributes by themselves (0.71). CONCLUSION These data demonstrate robust validation of the PRISM score to stratify OS in patients treated with SSRS and may help guide optimal treatment selection in prospective trials and clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) curtailed endoscopy services, adding to diagnostic backlogs. Building on trial evidence for a non-endoscopic oesophageal cell collection device coupled with biomarkers (Cytosponge), an implementation pilot was launched for patients on waiting lists for reflux and Barrett's oesophagus surveillance. AIMS (i) To review reflux referral patterns and Barrett's surveillance practices. (ii) To evaluate the range of Cytosponge findings and impact on endoscopy services. DESIGN AND METHODS Cytosponge data from centralized laboratory processing (trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) for intestinal metaplasia (IM), haematoxylin & eosin for cellular atypia and p53 for dysplasia) over a 2-year period were included. RESULTS A total of 10 577 procedures were performed in 61 hospitals in England and Scotland, of which 92.5% (N = 9784/10 577) were sufficient for analysis. In the reflux cohort (N = 4074 with gastro-oesophageal junction sampling), 14.7% had one or more positive biomarkers (TFF3: 13.6% (N = 550/4056), p53: 0.5% (21/3974), atypia: 1.5% (N = 63/4071)), requiring endoscopy. Among samples from individuals undergoing Barrett's surveillance (N = 5710 with sufficient gland groups), TFF3-positivity increased with segment length (odds ratio = 1.37 per cm (95% confidence interval: 1.33-1.41, P < 0.001)). Some surveillance referrals (21.5%, N = 1175/5471) had ≤1 cm segment length, of which 65.9% (707/1073) were TFF3 negative. Of all surveillance procedures, 8.3% had dysplastic biomarkers (4.0% (N = 225/5630) for p53 and 7.6% (N = 430/5694) for atypia), increasing to 11.8% (N = 420/3552) in TFF3+ cases with confirmed IM and 19.7% (N = 58/294) in ultra-long segments. CONCLUSIONS Cytosponge-biomarker tests enabled targeting of endoscopy services to higher-risk individuals, whereas those with TFF3 negative ultra-short segments could be reconsidered regarding their Barrett's oesophagus status and surveillance requirements. Long-term follow-up will be important in these cohorts.

Abstract
Thioarsenites(III) are an advanced functional material platform owing to the stereochemically active lone pair cations. In this paper, two novel quaternary thioarsenites(III), AgMAsS3 (M = Cd, Hg), are successfully obtained by introducing double d10 cations. In the compounds, d10 cations show a variety of different coordination modes ([AgS4] and [HgS4] in AgHgAsS3 vs [AgS5] and [CdS6] in AgCdAsS3). As a result, AgHgAsS3 and AgCdAsS3 crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric Cc space group and centrosymmetric C2/c space group, respectively. The band gaps of AgHgAsS3 and AgCdAsS3 are determined experimentally as 1.90 and 2.20 eV, respectively. Meanwhile, title compounds exhibit strong photocurrent responses. Specifically, AgHgAsS3 has a large birefringence of 0.18 at 2100 nm and a moderate second harmonic generation of (0.5 × AgGaS2). Moreover, the origin of linear and nonlinear optical responses is investigated based on first-principles calculations. This study enriches the family of MI-MII-As-Q (M = Ag, Cu; MII = Zn, Cd, Hg; Q = chalcogen) chalcogenides and helps to understand and design other multifunctional optical materials.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has developed into the most common chronic liver disease and can lead to liver cancer. Our laboratory previously developed a novel prescription for NAFLD, "Eight Zhes Decoction" (EZD), which has shown good curative effects in clinical practice. However, the pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism have not yet been revealed. A strategy integrating lipidomics, network pharmacology and pharmacokinetics was used to reveal the active components and mechanisms of EZD against NAFLD. The histopathological results showed that EZD attenuated the degrees of collagen deposition and steatosis in the livers of nonalcoholic steatofibrosis model mice. Furthermore, glycerophospholipid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism and linoleic acid metabolism with phospholipase A2 group IVA (PLA2G4A) and cytochrome P450 as the core targets and 12,13-cis-epoxyoctadecenoic acid, 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, leukotriene B4, prostaglandin E2, phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and triacylglycerols (TGs) as the main lipids were found to be involved in the treatment of NAFLD by EZD. Importantly, naringenin, artemetin, canadine, and bicuculline were identified as the active ingredients of EZD against NAFLD; in particular, naringenin reduces PC consumption by inhibiting the expression of PLA2G4A and thus promotes sufficient synthesis of very-low-density lipoprotein to transport excess TGs in the liver. This research provides valuable data and theoretical support for the application of EZD against NAFLD.

Abstract
Stability is a key factor that restricts the practical applications of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials. In this work, we report an ultrastable three-dimensional cage-like MOF, SrCu(HC3N3O3)2, constructed by a polydentate cyanurate ligand and two kinds of different metal nodes. A high ratio of coordination sites in organic ligands, specific coordination of strong acid with a strong base and weak acid with a weak base and double independent completed coordination networks endow SrCu(HC3N3O3)2 with outstanding thermal stability (up to 300 °C) and acid/alkali resistance (pH = 2-14). Moreover, SrCu(HC3N3O3)2 possesses the highest porosity up to 36.7% among cyanuric acid-based MOF materials and exhibits differentiated adsorption of C3H4 (63 cm3 g-1) and C3H6 (51 cm3 g-1). The breakthrough experiment further verified that efficient C3H4/C3H6 separation can be achieved under dynamic conditions by SrCu(HC3N3O3)2.

Abstract
We propose the terahertz (THz) detectors based on field-effect transistors (FETs) with the graphene channel (GC) and the black-Arsenic (b-As) black-Phosphorus (b-P), or black-Arsenic-Phosphorus (b-As[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text]) gate barrier layer. The operation of the GC-FET detectors is associated with the carrier heating in the GC by the THz electric field resonantly excited by incoming radiation leading to an increase in the rectified current between the channel and the gate over the b-As[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text] energy barrier layer (BLs). The specific feature of the GC-FETs under consideration is relatively low energy BLs and the possibility to optimize the device characteristics by choosing the barriers containing a necessary number of the b-As[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text] atomic layers and a proper gate voltage. The excitation of the plasma oscillations in the GC-FETs leads to the resonant reinforcement of the carrier heating and the enhancement of the detector responsivity. The room temperature responsivity can exceed the values of [Formula: see text] A/W. The speed of the GC-FET detector's response to the modulated THz radiation is determined by the processes of carrier heating. As shown, the modulation frequency can be in the range of several GHz at room temperatures.

Abstract
Metal thiophosphates have outstanding properties for the generation of mid-infrared coherent light and are an emerging nonlinear optical material system. In this study, a new non-centrosymmetric (NCS) quaternary alkaline-earth metal thiophosphate, SrAgPS4, was obtained via a high-temperature solid-state method. The new compound crystallizes in the NCS Ama2 (No. 40) space group and features two-dimensional [AgPS4]2- layers consisting of alternately connected [PS4] and [AgS4] tetrahedra. SrAgPS4 exhibits a strong phase-matched second harmonic generation response (1.10 × AgGaS2 at 2100 nm) and a large band gap (2.97 eV). In addition, theoretical calculations reveal the intrinsic relationship between the electronic structure and optical properties. This work enriches and greatly promotes the research on infrared nonlinear optical materials based on thiophosphates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Experimental two-step universal adhesives (2-UAs) providing a particle-filled hydrophobic adhesive resin with a significant film thickness to hydrophobically seal the adhesive interface were designed and synthesized. This study aimed to characterize their interfacial interaction with dentin, to determine whether the 2-UA formulations achieve durable bonding to low C-factor flat dentin and to measure their water sorption. METHODS Bonding effectiveness of 2-UAs that combine a 10-MDP-based primer with hydrophobic adhesive resins differing only for filler (BZF-21, BZF-29, and BZF-29_hv) were comparatively investigated with the commercial adhesive Clearfil SE Bond 2 (C-SE2, Kuraray Noritake). Adhesive-dentin interfaces were characterized with TEM. Adhesive-resin disks were immersed in distilled water at 37 °C for 1 week, 6 months and 1 year to measure water sorption and solubility. 'Immediate' and 'aged' micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of the adhesives applied in etch-and-rinse (E&R) and self-etch (SE) bonding mode to low C-factor flat dentin were measured. Statistical analyses involved linear mixed-effects (LME) modelling and Kruskal-Wallis testing (p < 0.05). RESULTS TEM revealed that E&R hybrid layers were more sensitive to aging than SE hybrid layers. Lower water sorption was recorded for all UAs compared with C-SE2. The immediate μTBS of BZF-21 and BZF-29 was not significantly different from that of C-SE2. The 1-year aged μTBS of all 2-UAs was significantly lower than that of C-SE2, except for BZF-29 applied in E&R mode. A significant reduction in μTBS upon 1-year aging was recorded for BZF-21 and BZF-29 applied in E&R mode. A significant difference in μTBS between E&R and SE bonding modes was recorded for all adhesives except BZF-21. SIGNIFICANCE Experimental 2-UAs with a hydrophobic adhesive-resin design produced± 20-μm thick adhesive-resin layers, absorbed less water and resulted in bonding performance that was more aging-resistant when applied in SE than in E&R bonding mode. The silica-filled BZF-29 2-UA revealed the most comparable bonding performance with C-SE2 in a low C-factor condition (flat dentin).

Abstract
Background SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated thoracic tumor (SMARCA4-UT) is a rare malignant condition with high invasiveness and poor prognosis. Presently, no clear guidelines are available for the treatment of SMARCA4-UT. The median overall survival was only four to seven months. Several patients are diagnosed in advanced stages of the malignancy and do not respond to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Case Description A 51-year-old Chinese man was diagnosed with a SMARCA4-UT. The patient did not have a chronic history of hypertension or diabetes and any family history of malignant tumors. No sensitive mutation in lung cancer-related ten genes was identified. The first-line therapy with four cycles of liposomal paclitaxel and cisplatin combined with two cycles of tyrosine kinase inhibitor anlotinib failed. On immunohistochemical analysis, no programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression was found. However, whole-exon sequencing revealed a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) of 15.95 mutations/Mb with TP53 and KEAP1 mutations. The patient was treated with a second-line regimen containing tislelizumab, etoposide, and carboplatin (TEC). A reduction in tumor burden was seen for more than 10 months. Conclusions The case of SMARCA4-UT with a high mutation burden successfully responded to the combined regimen containing TEC. This could be a new treatment option for patients with SMARCA4-UTs.

Abstract
Nickel nanoparticles are widely used in the industry and may affect the reproductive system. The potential molecular mechanism of exposing the first-trimester trophoblast cell line (HTR-8/SVneo) to nickel nanoparticles remains unclear. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro cytotoxicity of Ni NPs on HTR-8/SVneo cells. HTR-8/SVneo cells were subjected to various concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 μg/cm2) of Ni NPs. The toxicity of the Ni NPs was evaluated in HTR-8/SVneo cells by measuring cell viability. The underlying mechanism of nickel nanoparticles toxicity to HTR-8/SVneo cells was determined by measuring the content of intracellular reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial membrane potential, and the rate of cell apoptosis and cell cycle, by measuring adenosine triphosphate levels, intracellular lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde, total superoxide dismutase, and CuZn/Mn-SOD activities, and by determining proteins related to Nrf2, MAPK, and Cytochrome c. Our results showed that the nickel nanoparticles treatment reduced the viability of HTR-8/SVneo cells, while it increased their oxidative stress and lowered their mitochondrial respiratory capacity. Additionally, the nickel nanoparticles treatment induced cell S-phase arrest and apoptosis. These molecular events may be linked to the oxidative stress-Nrf2 pathway/MAPK/Caspase 3 cascade. Thus, nickel nanoparticles exert cytotoxic effects on HTR-8/SVneo cells, which could affect the function of the placenta in human.

Abstract
Yangyinqingfei Decoction (YYQFD), a traditional Chinese prescription, is well known in the treatment of diphtheria and lung-related diseases in clinic. However, whether it can be used to block the lung injury caused by air pollutant remains unclear. In the present study, the effect of YYQFD was addressed using a PM2.5-induced lung injury mice model. It was shown that YYQFD significantly improved pulmonary functions of mice exposed to PM2.5, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA were decreased while SOD levels were increased in serum and bronchoalveolar fluid. The potential mechanism of YYQFD was then delved using metabolomic and proteomic techniques. The protein-metabolite joint analysis showed that YYQFD regulated the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid metabolism, causing a significant decrement of pro-inflammatory mediator arachidonic acid with its downstream metabolites like 20-HETE, prostaglandin E2, accompanied by the up-regulation of PTGES2, GPX2 and CBR3 in lung tissue. These data were used to construct a regulatory metabolic network map in terms of the therapeutic role of YYQFD in PM2.5-induced lung injury, thereby provided a novel insight into potential application in the respiratory diseases caused by air pollutants.

Abstract
We previously reported that processed EEG underestimated the amount of burst suppression compared to off-line visual analysis. We performed a follow-up study to evaluate the reasons for the discordance. Forty-five patients were monitored intraoperatively with processed EEG. A computer algorithm was used to convert the SedLine® (machine)-generated burst suppression ratio into a raw duration of burst suppression. The reference standard was a precise off-line measurement by two neurologists. We measured other potential variables that may affect machine accuracy such as age, surgery position, and EEG artifacts. Overall, the median duration of bust suppression for all study subjects was 15.4 min (Inter-quartile Range [IQR] = 1.0-20.1) for the machine vs. 16.1 min (IQR = 0.3-19.7) for the neurologists' assessment; the 95% limits of agreement fall within - 4.86 to 5.04 s for individual 30-s epochs. EEG artifacts did not affect the concordance between the two methods. For patients in prone surgical position, the machine estimates had significantly lower overall sensitivity (0.86 vs. 0.97; p = 0.038) and significantly wider limits of agreement ([- 4.24, 3.82] seconds vs. [- 1.36, 1.13] seconds, p = 0.001) than patients in supine position. Machine readings for younger patients (age < 65 years) had higher sensitivity (0.96 vs 0.92; p = 0.021) and specificity (0.99 vs 0.88; p = 0.007) for older patients. The duration of burst suppression estimated by the machine generally had good agreement compared with neurologists' estimation using a more precise off-line measurement. Factors that affected the concordance included patient age and position during surgery, but not EEG artifacts.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common and serious neurodegenerative disease in the elderly; however, the treatment of AD is still lacking of rational drugs. In this paper, the active constituents and targets of the self-developed Chinese medicine Formula 9002A in the treatment of AD were investigated from three aspects: pharmacodynamics based on cell and animal experiments, network pharmacology analysis, and pharmacokinetic analysis. A total of 124 compounds were screened in Formula 9002A, and four constituents including salidroside, gastrodin, niacinamide, and umbelliferone were screened as potential active components for the treatment of AD by network pharmacology. Among them, salidroside and gastrodin showed higher relevance with AD targets, such as ESR1 and AR. The pharmacokinetic study showed that they could be absorbed and identified in plasma; the half-life and mean residence times of salidroside and gastrodin in plasma were nearly increased 2-fold by the administration of Formula 9002A compared with those by the administration of a monomer, indicating the extended action time of active compounds in vivo. Formula 9002A exerted the efficacy in the treatment of AD mainly by regulating APP, GSK3β, ESR1, and AR targets based on the anti-β-amyloid protein deposition, anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis pathways. Two genes enriched in Alzheimer’s disease pathway, APP and GSK3β, were further validated. The experiments also demonstrated that Formula 9002A could downregulate APP and GSK3β protein expression in the model mice brain and improved their cognitive ability. In summary, Formula 9002A has the characteristics of multiple targets and multiple pathways in the treatment of AD, and salidroside and gastrodin might be the main active constituents, which could provide a foundation for further research and application.

Abstract
Inorganic metal chalcohalides are significant semiconductive materials for photovoltaics, photodetetion and infrared optics. Thus it is considerably rewarding to develop a new synthetic strategy to provide more degrees of freedom for atomic coordination to tune the optical and electronic properties of metal chalcohalides. In this work, the mixed-anion strategy is performed to synthesize two new metal chalcohalides Cs2InPS4X2 (X = Cl, Br) with mixed-anion structure by the reaction of InPS4 and CsX. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that they are isostructural and crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n, consisting of zero-dimensional structure [In2P2S8X4]4- (X = Cl, Br) built from tetrahedral [PS4]3- and octahedral [InS4X2]7- (X = Cl, Br) through edge-sharing, with Cs cations filling in intervening voids. The UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurement reveals that Cs2InPS4Cl2 and Cs2InPS4Br2 exhibit large optical bandgaps of 3.21 eV and 3.12 eV, respectively. The electronic structure calculations show that the bandgap mainly originates from the [InS4X2]7- (X = Cl, Br) mixed-anion groups. First-principles calculations indicate that the birefringence of Cs2InPS4Cl2 and Cs2InPS4Br2 is ∼0.08 and ∼0.05 at 2090 nm, respectively. Furthermore, thermal analysis reveals that the Cs2InPS4X2 (X = Cl, Br) are thermostable up to 400 °C. This discovery enriches the structural diversity of inorganic chalcohalides and provides an insight for the exploration of new semiconductive materials.

Abstract
The continuous exploration of multinary chalcogenide semiconductors has provided a variety of new functional materials. In this paper, four new quaternary chalcogenides AHgPS4 (A+ = Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) have been prepared by solid-state syntheses. These findings complement the lack of research on this quaternary system. Influenced by the size effect of cations and the coordination mode of Hg, the four compounds crystallize in four different space groups [NaHgPS4, P4̅n2; KHgPS4, Pnn2; RbHgPS4, P21/n; CsHgPS4, P212121] and show an interesting evolution from a 3D framework structure to a 1D chain structure. Moreover, all of these compounds feature noncentrosymmetric (NCS) structures except for RbHgPS4. The materials exhibit wide band gaps of 2.7 eV < Eg < 3.0 eV. The NCS- related second-harmonic-generation (SHG) property of NaHgPS4 and KHgPS4 was also studied. They display strong powder SHG responses (3.14 × AgGaS2 for NaHgPS4; 4.15 × AgGaS2 for KHgPS4), which indicate their intriguing potential as IR nonlinear-optical materials. Moreover, first-principles theoretical calculations were performed to understand the structure-property relationships of these materials.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
The Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency state post-operatively it is between the patient and doctor to establish when would be safe to resume driving, providing recovery does not exceed three months. This audit aimed to assess and improve the documentation rate of driving advice in the discharge summaries given to patients post abdominal surgery.
Method
Retrospective data collection from electronic records over the months of August and September 2020. 132 discharge summaries were screened to assess the baseline rate of verbal/documented driving advice given on discharge. Following the 1st cycle, posters encouraging the inclusion of driving advice and demonstrating how to access driving advice to discharge summaries were developed and distributed across the surgical wards. A 2nd cycle re-audit was conducted in October 2020 to measure the effect of change, and a further 3rd cycle audit was conducted in November 2020.
Results
1st cycle included 132 patients. 62% had documented advice on their discharge summaries, while 38% had no proof of driving advice. After intervention, 2nd cycle included 30 patients. Results showed a significant increase in advice documentation (80%). A 3rd cycle was carried out with 47 patients. This showed a reduction in advice documentation (66%).
Conclusions
Driving advice on discharge in post-operative patients is crucial part of patient safety. Implementation of intervention has increased the documentation of driving advice showing enhancing patient safety. However, 3rd cycle after registrar’s changeover showed a decrease in the rate of documentation. A teaching session is planned for new doctors followed by 4th cycle.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the classification of petroclival meningiomas(PCM), proposed selection of microsurgical approach and therapeutic outcomes. Methods: Retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 179 cases of PCM from Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between January 2011 and November 2020. There were 28 males and 151 females with an age of(49.9±10.2) years(range: 22 to 75 years) and the tumor size of(44.8±10.3)mm(range: 15 to 80 mm). The mean duration of symptom(M(QR)) was 18.0(40.6)months(range:1 week to 320 months) and the mean preoperative Karnofsky performance scale(KPS) was 78.6±13.3(range: 40 to 100). The PCM were classified into 5 types according to the difference in the origin of dural attachment, involvement of adjacent structures and growth patterns through preoperative MRI. The surgical approaches were selected based on the proposed classification, and the clinical characteristics, surgical record, and follow-up data of each type were reviewed. Results: The PCM were divided into clivus type(CV, 4 cases), petroclival type(PC, 60 cases), petroclivosphenoidal type(PC-S, 62 cases), sphenopetroclival type with 2 subtypes(S-PC, 50 cases) and central skull base type(CSB, 3 cases). All of 176 cases were obtained microsurgical treatment except CSB type. The gross total resection reached in 124 cases(70.5%) with 112 cases of retrosigmoid approach(RSA), 27 cases of subtemporal transtentorial transpetrosal approach, 13 cases of pretemporal trancavernous anterior transpetrosal approach(PTCA), 12 cases of extended pterional transtentorial approach(EPTA) and presigmoid combined supra-infratentorial approach, respectively. The RSA could be adopted in both of CV type and PC type and most of PC-S type(71.0%). S-PC subtype Ⅰ and subtype Ⅱ were mainly underwent EPTA(40.8%) and PTCA(52.2%), respectively. Seventy-two cases(40.9%) gained new neurological dysfunctions mainly with the cranial nerve paralysis. The postoperative morbidity and complications were recovered or improved with conservative and positive symptomatic and supportive treatment. There was no intraoperative and postoperative death case. One hundred and sixty four cases(93.2%) of operative patients were followed with the duration of 24(48)months(range:3 to 108 months). Tumor recurrence and progress were identified in 14 cases(10.4%) and 14 cases(28.6%), respectively. Compared with postoperative neurological status, 89 patients(54.3%) had improved and 38 patients(23.2%) were still suffering various degrees of neurological dysfunctions during the follow-up. The recent KPS was 84.2±11.4(range: 50 to 100) without statistical difference from preoperative KPS(t=-1.356,P=0.125). As for each type, there were statistically significant differences in brain stem edema(χ2=3.482,P=0.038), gross total resection(χ2=9.127,P=0.001), surgical duration(F=8.954, P=0.013), postoperative length of stay(F=3.652, P=0.025), postoperative complications(χ2=1.550,P=0.024), postoperative KPS(F=2.856, P=0.042) and tumor recurrence/progress(χ2=4.824,P=0.013). Conclusion: The precise and comprehensive classification of PCM and specific individual treatment strategy are benefit to evaluate the diverse clinical prognosis, choose optimal surgical approaches, elevate gross total resection, diminish neurological dysfunctions and restraint tumor recurrence, so as to improve the quality of life for patients.

Abstract
Chalcogenides with diamond-like (DL) structures are a treasury of infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Here, a ternary Hg-based chalcogenide with a defect DL structure, Hg3P2S8, is synthesized by solid-state reaction. Driven by the highly distorted [HgS4] tetrahedra, this compound displays an interesting structural symmetry degradation from tetragonal to orthorhombic compared with its analogue Zn3P2S8. Meanwhile, the overall performances of Hg3P2S8 are quite remarkable, including a very strong phase-matchable second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (4.2 × AgGaS2), large band gap (2.77 eV), wide IR transparent range (0.45-16.7 μm), and high laser-induced damage threshold (4 × AGS). Furthermore, the theoretical analysis and local dipole moment calculations elucidate that the highly distorted [HgS4] tetrahedra contribute a lot to the enhancement of the SHG effect. This discovery will motivate the exploration of other DL Hg-based chalcogenides serving as high-performing mid-IR NLO materials.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common heterogeneous respiratory disease characterized by persistent and incompletely reversible airflow limitation. Due to the heterogeneity and phenotypes complexity of COPD, traditionally diagnostic methods can only give limited information on predicted results and treatment, which are not sufficient for accurate diagnosis and evaluation. With the development of omics technologies in recent years, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics are widely used in the study of COPD, providing good tools for discovering biomarkers to diagnose and elucidate the complex mechanism of COPD. In this review, we summarized the biomarkers of COPD based on metabolomic, proteomic and transcriptomic studies that have been reported in recent years. Furthermore, protein-protein interactions and multi-omics integrated analysis were carried out to explore the important metabolites and proteins that involved in significant pathways in the progression of COPD for explanation the pathogenesis of COPD. Finally, the prospective and challenges in the study of COPD were proposed. It is expected that this review will provide some references for the development of diagnostic methods and elucidation of the pathogenesis of COPD.

Abstract
Bacterial pneumonia is a common lung disorder, and the pathogenesis remain elusive. Parasitic infections of the lung are able to affect the respiratory system, and the clinical features could mimic tuberculosis and malignancy. Therefore, it is essential to identify parasitic pneumonia at early stage, and most cases are curable with medical intervention. In this study, one case of parasitic pneumonia was misdiagnosed as bacterial infection, revealing the importance of pathological biopsy and MDT, especially when clinical features are not typical and routine tests are not specific. Therefore, more paragonimiasis cases can be diagnosed more effectively by the clinicians and misdiagnose should be avoided in future clinical practice.

Abstract
Dolastatin 10 (Dol-10), a leading marine pentapeptide isolated from the Indian Ocean mollusk Dolabella auricularia, contains three unique amino acid residues. Dol-10 can effectively induce apoptosis of lung cancer cells and other tumor cells at nanomolar concentration, and it has been developed into commercial drugs for treating some specific lymphomas, so it has received wide attention in recent years. In vitro experiments showed that Dol-10 and its derivatives were highly lethal to common tumor cells, such as L1210 leukemia cells (IC50 = 0.03 nM), small cell lung cancer NCI-H69 cells (IC50 = 0.059 nM), and human prostate cancer DU-145 cells (IC50 = 0.5 nM), etc. With the rise of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), milestone progress was made in clinical research based on Dol-10. A variety of ADCs constructed by combining MMAE or MMAF (Dol-10 derivatives) with a specific antibody not only ensured the antitumor activity of the drugs themself but also improved their tumor targeting and reduced the systemic toxicity. They are currently undergoing clinical trials or have been approved for marketing, such as Adcetris®, which had been approved for the treatment of anaplastic large T-cell systemic malignant lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. Dol-10, as one of the most medically valuable natural compounds discovered up to now, has brought unprecedented hope for tumor treatment. It is particularly noteworthy that, by modifying the chemical structure of Dol-10 and combining with the application of ADCs technology, Dol-10 as a new drug candidate still has great potential for development. In this review, the biological activity and chemical work of Dol-10 in the advance of antitumor drugs in the last 35 years will be summarized, which will provide the support for pharmaceutical researchers interested in leading exploration of antitumor marine peptides.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the recurrence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) that has been relieved by standard-dose adalimumab (ADA) after dose reduction or withdrawal of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor (TNFi) and explore the factors that predict AS occurrence. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted among 63 patients with AS who reduced the dose of or discontinued TNFi after completing at least 12 treatment cycles with ADA (40 mg/2 weeks) to achieve ASAS20 improvement with a BATH disease activity index (BASDAI) < 4 for more than 8 weeks. The patients were followed up every 12 weeks for a total of 52 weeks, and the recurrence of AS, changes of BASDAI, C-reactive protein (CRP)-based disease activity score (ASDASCRP), low back pain (LBP) score, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), CRP and ESR were recorded and analyzed. Cox regression model and ROC curve analyses were performed to analyze the risk factors of AS relapse after dose reduction or discontinuation of TNFi. OBJECTIVE Of the 63 patients enrolled, 57 completed the follow-up study, among whom 22 (38.6%) patients experienced AS relapse within 52 weeks, with a median clinical recurrence time of 31 weeks. The recurrence rate of AS was significantly higher in patients with complete withdrawal of medications (89.0%) than in those with TNFi dose reduction and TNFi discontinuation (P < 0.001), and did not differ significantly between the latter two groups of patients (χ2= 0.071, P=0.791). The Cox regression model showed that a high baseline LBP score (HR=1.438, P=0.027) and a high BASMI score (HR=1.29, P=0.049) were the risk factors for AS recurrence after TNFi dose reduction or discontinuation, while maintenance of medication during follow-up was a protective factor (HR=0.209, P=0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the combination of baseline LBP score, BASMI and medication during follow-up had a good predictive value for AS relapse (AUC=0.819) with a sensitivity of 0.772 and a specificity of 0.718. OBJECTIVE Dose reduction or discontinuation of TNFi is associated with a high recurrence rate of AS that has been relieved by TNFi treatment. A high LBP score, a high BASMI score and discontinuation of maintenance medication are the risk factors for AS recurrence in patients after dose reduction or withdrawal of TNFi.
