Abstract
OBJECTIVE Compare the clinical severity of second preeclampsia with the first preeclampsia. METHODS This retrospective longitudinal cohort study was conducted in three teaching hospitals in Guangzhou, where there were a total of 296 405 deliveries between 2010 and 2021. Two consecutive singleton deliveries complicated with preeclampsia were included. Clinical features, laboratory results within 1 week before delivery, and maternal and neonatal outcomes of both deliveries were collected. Univariate analyses were made using paired Wilcoxon tests and McNemar tests. Multivariable logistic regression and generalized linear models were performed to assess the association of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes with second preeclampsia. RESULTS A total of 151 women were included in the study. The mean maternal age was 28 and 33 years for the first and second deliveries, respectively. The proportion of preventive acetylsalicylic acid use was 4.6% for the first delivery and 15.2% for the second delivery. No significant differences were observed in terms of blood pressure on admission, gestational weeks of admission and delivery, application of perinatal antihypertensive agents, rates of preterm delivery, and severe features between the two occurrences. However, the rates of heart disease, edema, and admission to the ICU were lower, and hospital stays were shorter in the second preeclampsia compared with the first preeclampsia. Sensitivity analysis conducted among women who did not use preventive acetylsalicylic acid yielded similar results. After adjusting for potential confounding variables, the occurrence of second preeclampsia was associated with significantly decreased risks of heart disease, edema, complications, and admission to the NICU, with odds ratios ranging between 0.157 and 0.336. CONCLUSION Contrary to expectations, the second preeclampsia did not exhibit worse manifestations or outcomes to the first occurrence. In fact, some clinical features and outcomes appeared to be better in the second preeclampsia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pre-eclampsia (PE) affects about 5% of Chinese pregnant women and is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The first trimester screening model developed by the Fetal Medicine Foundation, which uses the Bayes theorem to combine maternal characteristics and medical history together with measurements of biomarkers, has been proven to be effective and has superior screening performance to that of the traditional risk factor-based approach for the prediction of PE. Prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin in women at risk for PE has resulted in a lower incidence of preterm-PE. However, there is no consensus on the preferred aspirin dosage for the prevention of preterm-PE. Evidence has also suggested that metformin has the potential benefit in preventing PE in pregnant women who are at high risk of the disorder. METHOD AND ANALYSIS We present a protocol (V.2.0, date 17 March 2022) for the AVERT trial, which is a multicentre, double-blinded, 3-arm randomised controlled trial (RCT) that uses an effective PE screening programme to explore the optimal dosage of aspirin and the role of metformin for the prevention of PE among high-risk pregnant women in China. We intend to recruit 66 000 singleton pregnancies without treatment of low-dose aspirin and metformin at 11-13 weeks' gestation and all eligible women attending for their first trimester routine scan will be invited to undergo screening for preterm-PE by the combination of maternal factors, mean arterial pressure and placental growth factor. Women found to be at high risk of developing preterm-PE will be invited to take part in the RCT. This study will compare the incidence of preterm-PE with delivery at <37 weeks' gestation, as the primary outcome, of three different interventional groups: (1) aspirin 75 mg daily, (2) aspirin 150 mg daily and (3) aspirin 75 mg with metformin 1.5 g daily. 957 participants per treatment group are required to detect a significant difference of 59% in the reduction of the incidence of preterm-PE with 80% power and type I error of 5%. Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes will be collected and analysed. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Joint Chinese University of Hong Kong-New Territories East Cluster Clinical Research Ethics Committee (CREC Ref. No. 2021.406) in Hong Kong and the Ethics Committee of each participating hospital in Mainland China. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov. The results of the AVERT trial will be disseminated at international academic conferences and published in high-impact factor journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05580523.

Abstract
Aberrant remodeling of uterine spiral arteries (SPA) is strongly associated with the pathogenesis of early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE). However, the complexities of SPA transformation remain inadequately understood. We conducted a single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of whole placental tissues derived from patients with EOPE and their corresponding controls, identified DAB2 as a key gene of interest and explored the mechanism underlying the communication between Extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs) and decidual vascular smooth muscle cells (dVSMC) through cell models and a placenta-decidua coculture (PDC) model in vitro. DAB2 enhanced the motility and viability of HTR-8/SVneo cells. After exposure to conditioned medium (CM) from HTR-8/SVneoshNC cells, hVSMCs exhibited a rounded morphology, indicative of dedifferentiation, while CM-HTR-8/SVneoshDAB2 cells displayed a spindle-like morphology. Furthermore, the PDC model demonstrated that CM-HTR-8/SVneoshDAB2 was less conducive to vascular remodeling. Further in-depth mechanistic investigations revealed that C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8, also known as IL8) is a pivotal regulator governing the dedifferentiation of dVSMC. DAB2 expression in EVTs is critical for orchestrating the phenotypic transition and motility of dVSMC. These processes may be intricately linked to the CXCL8/PI3K/AKT pathway, underscoring its central role in intricate SPA remodeling.

Abstract
A 31-year-old female patient with refractive error in both eyes underwent small incision lenticule extraction. On the 4th day after surgery, arc-shaped peripheral corneal infiltrates appeared in the right eye. Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye drops, 0.3% gatifloxacin eye drops, and a corneal bandage lens were applied to the eye. After bacterial infection was ruled out, dexamethasone sodium phosphate was injected subconjunctivally near the corneal lesion. The symptoms improved and the corneal lesion subsided afterwards.

Abstract
Aspirin supplemented with quercetin was reported to enhance the therapeutic effects of aspirin in a rat model of preeclampsia. In this study, the underlying mechanisms were further explored. Preeclampsia was induced by L-NAME (50 mg/kg/day) via oral gavage from gestation day (GD)14 to GD19. Aspirin (1.5 mg/kg/day) administration was performed using aspirin mixed with rodent dough from GD0 to GD19. The administration of quercetin (2 mg/kg/day) was performed by intraperitoneal infusion from GD0 to GD19. Protein levels were evaluated using ELISA or Western blot, and microRNA (miRNA) level was evaluated by RT-PCR. Aspirin supplemented with quercetin ameliorated the increase of systolic blood pressure (SBP), proteinuria, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, and improved the pregnancy outcomes in preeclampsia rats. Aspirin supplemented with quercetin inhibited miR-155 expression in preeclampsia rats. The decreased miR-155 level in placenta further increased the protein level of SOCS1 and inhibited the phosphorylation of p65. In this study, we demonstrated that aspirin supplemented with quercetin enhanced the effects of aspirin for the treatment of preeclampsia.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlations between subjective nasal patency, nasal valve area size and aerodynamic parameters in normal nasal cavity by means of numerical simulation, and to explore the effect of nasal valve on nasal subjective sensation and nasal airflow regulation. Methods: A total of 52 healthy participants (31 males and 21 females) with the average age of 37.8 years, were recruited from the outpatient Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to the Medical College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University between January and August 2023. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for unilateral nasal subjective sensation were obtained from all participants. Additionally, the aerodynamic characteristics of inspiratory airflow were simulated. A correlation matrix analysis was conducted to identify the correlation strength between these subjective and objective parameters. Results: VAS scores showed negative correlations with unilateral nasal valve cross-sectional area (r=-0.85, P<0.01) and unilateral intranasal airflow (r=-0.57, P<0.01), and was a positive correlation with unilateral nasal resistance (NR) at the front-end of inferior turbinate (r=0.61, P<0.01). The average cross-sectional area of unilateral nasal valve was (0.85±0.35) cm2. The cross-sectional area of unilateral nasal valve was negatively correlated with unilateral NR (r=-0.50, P<0.01), and positively correlated with unilateral nasal airflow (r=0.61, P<0.01). The NR at the nasal valve area accounted for (40.41±23.54)% of the total unilateral NR. Nearly half of the unilateral NR [(46.74±21.38)%] and air warming [(49.96±10.02)%] occurring before the front end of inferior turbinate were achieved. Conclusions: The nasal valve area plays a crucial role in influencing nasal NR, unilateral nasal airflow, and changes in nasal airflow temperature. Moreover, it is associated with subjective perception of nasal patency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of placenta accreta spectrum, a potentially life-threatening condition, has exhibited a significant global rise in recent decades. Effective screening methods and early identification strategies for placenta accreta spectrum could enable early treatment and improved outcomes. Endometrial thickness plays a crucial role in successful embryo implantation and favorable pregnancy outcomes. Extensive research has been conducted on the impact of endometrial thickness on assisted reproductive technology cycles, specifically in terms of pregnancy rates, live birth rates, and pregnancy loss rates. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the influence of endometrial thickness on placenta accreta spectrum. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the association between preimplantation endometrial thickness and the occurrence of placenta accreta spectrum in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology cycles. STUDY DESIGN A total of 4637 women who had not undergone previous cesarean delivery and who conceived by in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer treatment and subsequently delivered at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between January 2008 and December 2020 were included in this study. To explore the relationship between endometrial thickness and placenta accreta spectrum, we used smooth curve fitting, threshold effect, and saturation effect analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the independent association between endometrial thickness and placenta accreta spectrum while adjusting for potential confounding factors. Propensity score matching was performed to reduce the influence of bias and unmeasured confounders. Furthermore, we used causal mediation effect analysis to investigate the mediating role of endometrial thickness in the relationship between gravidity and ovarian stimulation protocol and the occurrence of placenta accreta spectrum. RESULTS Among the 4637 women included in this study, pregnancies with placenta accreta spectrum (159; 3.4%) had significantly thinner endometrial thickness (non-placenta accreta spectrum, 10.08±2.04 mm vs placenta accreta spectrum, 8.88±2.21 mm; P<.001) during the last ultrasound before embryo transfer. By using smooth curve fitting, it was found that changes in endometrial thickness had a significant effect on the incidence of placenta accreta spectrum up to a thickness of 10.9 mm, beyond which the effect plateaued. Then, the endometrial thickness was divided into the following 4 groups: ≤7, >7 to ≤10.9, >10.9 to ≤13, and >13 mm. The absolute rates of placenta accreta spectrum in each group were 11.91%, 3.73%, 1.35%, and 2.54%, respectively. Compared with women with an endometrial thickness from 10.9 to 13 mm, the odds of placenta accreta spectrum increased from an adjusted odds ratio of 2.27 (95% confidence interval, 1.33-3.86) for endometrial thickness from 7 to 10.9 mm to an adjusted odds ratio of 7.15 (95% confidence interval, 3.73-13.71) for endometrial thickness <7 mm after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Placenta previa remained as an independent risk factor for placenta accreta spectrum (adjusted odds ratio, 11.80; 95% confidence interval, 7.65-18.19). Moreover, endometrial thickness <7 mm was still an independent risk factor for placenta accreta spectrum (adjusted odds ratio, 3.91; 95% confidence interval, 1.57-9.73) in the matched cohort after PSM. Causal mediation analysis revealed that approximately 63.9% of the total effect of gravidity and 18.6% of the total effect of ovarian stimulation protocol on placenta accreta spectrum were mediated by endometrial thickness. CONCLUSION The findings of our study indicate that thin endometrial thickness is an independent risk factor for placenta accreta spectrum in women without previous cesarean delivery undergoing assisted reproductive technology treatment. The clinical significance of this risk factor is slightly lower than that of placenta previa. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that endometrial thickness plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between gravidity or ovarian stimulation protocol and placenta accreta spectrum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aim to establish a predictive model for recurrent preeclampsia. METHODS A retrospective review of medical records from three hospitals between 2010 and 2021 was conducted. The study included women who had two consecutive singleton deliveries at the same hospital, with the first delivery complicated by preeclampsia. A multivariable logistic regression model was constructed using a training cohort, and subsequently cross-validated and tested using an independent cohort. The model's performance was assessed in terms of discrimination and calibration, and its clinical utility was evaluated using decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Among 296 405 deliveries, 694 women met the inclusion criteria, with 151 (21.8%) experiencing recurrent preeclampsia. The predictive model incorporated 10 risk factors from previous preeclampsia, including gestational weeks with elevated blood pressure, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pericardial effusion, heart failure, limb edema, serum creatinine, white blood cell count, low platelet counts within one week before delivery, SBP on the first postpartum day, and postpartum antihypertensive use. Additionally, one risk factor from the index pregnancy was included, which was antihypertensive use before 20 weeks. The model demonstrated better discrimination, calibration, and a net benefit across a wide range of recurrent preeclampsia risk thresholds. Furthermore, the model has been translated into a clinical risk calculator, enabling clinicians to calculate individualized risks of recurrent preeclampsia. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that a predictive tool utilizing routine clinical and laboratory factors can accurately estimate the risk of recurrent preeclampsia. This predictive model has the potential to facilitate shared decision-making by providing personalized and risk-stratified care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the difference between proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN) and hip replacement (HR) for femoral intertrochanteric fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of the differences in operative time, length of stay, postoperative Harris score, and postoperative mortality between patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture treated by PFBN and HR admitted to Jinzhai County People's Hospital from October 2020 to September 2022 was performed. RESULTS A total of 56 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture, 26 with PFBN and 30 with HR, were included in the study. There were no differences in the length of surgery, pre- and post-operative hemoglobin, or post-operative Harris score at 3 months between the two groups. Compared to the HR group, the PFBN group had a lower total cost, shorter hospital stays, and lower mortality but a longer ambulation time, with a difference of 3.36 weeks. CONCLUSIONS PFBN may be a promising new treatment for femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

Abstract
Background The interplay between gut microbiome genera and inflammatory kidney-related diseases, such as nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, tubulo-interstitial nephritis, and chronic kidney disease, has been observed. However, the causal relationships between specific bacterial genera and these renal diseases have not been fully elucidated. Objective To investigate the potential causal links between different genera of the gut microbiome and the susceptibility to various renal conditions utilizing two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. Materials and methods Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics of gut microbiota and inflammatory kidney-related diseases were obtained from published GWASs. Two-sample MR analyses were conducted using methods including inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR Egger, and others to identify potential causal links between gut microbial genera and renal conditions. Sensitivity analyses, including Cochran's Q test and the MR-PRESSO global test, were performed to validate the robustness of the results and detect horizontal pleiotropy. In addition, a reverse MR analysis was conducted to assess reverse causation possibilities. Results By synthesizing insights from both primary and sensitivity analyses, this study unveiled critical associations of 12 bacterial genera with nephrotic syndrome, 7 bacterial genera with membranous nephropathy, 3 bacterial genera with glomerulonephritis, 4 bacterial genera with acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis, 6 bacterial genera with chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis, and 7 bacterial genera with chronic kidney disease. Various genera were pinpointed as having either positive or negative causal relationships with these renal conditions, as evidenced by specific ranges of IVW-OR values (all P< 0.05). The congruence of the sensitivity analyses bolstered the primary findings, displaying no marked heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. Notably, the reverse MR analysis with nephritis as the exposure did not reveal any causal relationships, thereby strengthening the resilience and validity of the primary associations. Conclusion This study explored the causal associations between several gut microbial genera and the risk of several inflammatory kidney-related diseases, uncovering several associations between specific gut microbial genera and nephrotic syndrome, membranous nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, tubulo-interstitial nephritis, and chronic kidney disease. These findings enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between the gut microbiome and kidney diseases, and they will be beneficial for early diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to develop physiologically based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) predictive models for nifedipine in pregnant women, enhancing precision medicine and reducing adverse reactions for both mothers and infants. METHODS A PBPK/PD model was constructed using PK-Sim, MoBi, and MATLAB software, integrating literature and pregnancy-specific physiological information. The process involved: (1) establishing and validating a PBPK model for serum clearance after intravenous administration in non-pregnant individuals, (2) establishing and validating a PBPK model for serum clearance after oral administration in non-pregnant individuals, (3) constructing and validating a PBPK model for enzyme clearance after oral administration in non-pregnant individuals, and (4) adjusting the PBPK model structure and enzyme parameters according to pregnant women and validating it in oral administration. (5) PK/PD model was explored through MATLAB, and the PBPK and PK/PD models were integrated to form the PBPK/PD model. RESULTS The Nifedipine PBPK model's predictive accuracy was confirmed by non-pregnant and pregnant validation studies. The developed PBPK/PD model accurately predicted maximum antihypertensive effects for clinical doses of 5, 10, and 20 mg. The model suggested peak effect at 0.86 h post-administration, achieving blood pressure reductions of 5.4 mmHg, 14.3 mmHg, and 21.3 mmHg, respectively. This model provides guidance for tailored dosing in pregnancy-induced hypertension based on targeted blood pressure reduction. CONCLUSION Based on available literature data, the PBPK/PD model of Nifedipine in pregnancy demonstrated good predictive performance. It will help optimize individualized dosing of Nifedipine, improve treatment outcomes, and minimize the risk of adverse reactions in mothers and infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether platelet counts are associated with clinical outcomes in patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 140 patients with AFLP admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between January 2010 and August 2022. In this cohort study, we used smooth curve fitting, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and multivariable logistic regression analysis to examine the independent relationship between platelet counts and 42-day postpartum mortality in AFLP. RESULTS There were 140 patients with AFLP, of which 15 died and 53 (37.86%) had thrombocytopenia. The overall 42-day postpartum maternal mortality was 10.7%. We observed a U-shaped relationship between the platelet counts and 42-day postpartum mortality. Two different slopes were observed below and above the inflection point at approximately 220 × 109 /L. After adjusting for some confounders, patients with thrombocytopenia (<100 × 109 /L) were found to have increased 42-day postpartum mortality compared with middle-tertile and highest-tertile patients. Patients with thrombocytopenia had a higher 42-day postpartum mortality, and higher proportions of intensive care unit admissions, postpartum hemorrhage, and multiple organ failure (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A U-shaped association between platelet counts and 42-day postpartum mortality was observed in patients with AFLP. Thrombocytopenia is associated with poorer adverse clinical outcomes in women with AFLP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between inter-pregnancy intervals and placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum among women who had prior cesarean deliveries with respect to maternal age at first cesarean delivery. METHODS This retrospective study included clinical data from 9981 singleton pregnant women with a history of cesarean delivery at 11 public tertiary hospitals in seven provinces of China between January 2017 and December 2017. The study population was divided into four groups (<2, 2-5, 5-10, ≥10 years of the interval) according to the inter-pregnancy interval. The rate of placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum among the four groups was compared, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between inter-pregnancy interval and placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum with respect to maternal age at first cesarean delivery. RESULTS Compared to women aged 30-34 years old at first cesarean delivery, the risk of placenta previa (aRR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.16-1.88) and placenta accreta spectrum (aRR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.28-2.35) were higher among women aged 18-24. Multivariate regression results showed that women at 18-24 with <2 years intervals exhibited a 5.05-fold increased risk for placenta previa compared with those with 2-5-year intervals (aRR, 5.05; 95% CI, 1.13-22.51). In addition, women aged 18-24 with less than 2 years intervals had an 8.44 times greater risk of developing PAS than women aged 30-34 with 2 to 5 years intervals (aRR, 8.44; 95% CI, 1.82-39.26). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggested that short inter-pregnancy intervals were associated with increased risks for placenta previa, and placenta accreta spectrum for women under 25 years at first cesarean delivery, which may be partly attributed to obstetrical outcomes.

Abstract
Despite the five million children in the U.S. with an incarcerated parent, there is limited research on risk and protective factors for this population. We analyzed data from the National Survey for Children's Health (2018) to: (1) examine associations among parental incarceration and other adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), (2) characterize the association between parental incarceration and youth mental health outcomes, (3) examine differences in positive childhood experiences (PCEs; collective socialization, community engagement, neighborhood amenities, and family problem solving) by parental incarceration status, (4) examine whether PCEs were protective against mental health problems and if there was an interaction with parental incarceration status, and (5) examine the interaction between PCEs, parental incarceration, and ACEs on mental health problems. Results revealed that children with incarcerated parents had higher odds of experiencing other ACEs, higher odds of having mental health problems, and experienced fewer PCEs compared to children without incarcerated parents. Further, although PCEs were associated with a lower odds of mental health problems for both children with and without incarcerated parents, they did not mitigate the negative impact of parental incarceration on mental health outcomes. While PCEs attenuated the association between ACEs and mental health, parental incarceration status did not significantly moderate the interaction. These results highlight vulnerabilities and potential protective factors for children with incarcerated parents and have important implications for the development of multilevel intervention strategies that seek to promote resilience and reduce risk for this population.

Abstract
The potassium channel protein KCNH2 is encoded by KCNH2 gene, and there are more than 300 mutations of KCNH2. Unfolded protein response (UPR) is typically initiated in response to an accumulation of unfolded and/or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The present study aimed to explore the UPR process and the role of activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) in the abnormal expression of potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2 (KCNH2)A561V. The wild-type (wt) KCNH2 and A561V mutant KCNH2 was constructed with his-tag. The 293 cells were used and divided into KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V, KCNH2wt and KCNH2A561V groups. The expression levels of ATF6 and KCNH2 in different groups were detected by Western blotting, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence and immuno-coprecipitation assays. The protein types and abundance of immuno-coprecipitation samples were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The proteomic analysis of the mass spectrometry results was carried out by using the reactome database and GO (Gene Ontology) tool. The mRNA expression levels of KCNH2 and ATF6 in the KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V group were higher compared with the KCNH2A561V group. However, the full-length protein expression of ATF6 was inhibited, indicating that ATF6 was highly activated and a substantial number of ATF6 was sheared in KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V group compared with control group. Furthermore, A561V-KCNH2 mutation leading to the accumulation of the immature form of KCNH2 (135 kDa bands) in ER, resulting in the reduction of the ratio of 155 kDa/135 kDa. In addition, the abundance of UPR-related proteins in the KCNH2A561V group was higher compared with the KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V group. The 'cysteine biosynthetic activity' of GO:0019344 process and the 'positive regulation of cytoplasmic translation activity' of GO:2000767 process in the KCNH2A561V group were higher compared with the KCNH2wt+KCNH2A561V group. Hence, co-expression of wild-type and A561V mutant KCNH2 in 293 cells activated the UPR process, which led to the inhibition of protein translation and synthesis, in turn inhibiting the expression of KCNH2. These results provided a theoretical basis for clinical treatment of Long QT syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and subtype distribution of Blastocystis sp. in pigs in Anhui Province. METHODS A total of 500 stool samples were collected from large-scale pig farms in Bozhou, Anqing, Chuzhou, Hefei, Fuyang, and Lu'an cities in Anhui Province from October to December 2015. Blastocystis was detected in pig stool samples using a PCR assay based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene, and positive samples were subjected to sequencing and sequence analysis. Blastocystis subtypes were characterized in the online PubMLST database, and verified using phylogenetic tree created with the neighbor-joining algorithm in the Meta software. RESULTS The prevalence of Blastocystis infection was 43.2% (216/500) in pigs in 6 cities of Anhui Province, and all pig farms were tested positive for Blastocystis. There was a region-specific prevalence rate of Blastocystis (17.2% to 50.0%) (χ2 = 26.084, P < 0.01), and there was a significant difference in the prevalence of Blastocystis sp. among nursery pigs (39.6%), preweaned pigs (19.1%), and growing pigs (62.3%) (χ2 = 74.951, P < 0.01). Both online inquiry and phylogenetic analysis revealed ST1, ST3, and ST5 subtypes in pigs, with ST5 as the predominant subtype. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of Blastocystis sp. is high in pigs in Anhui Province, with three zoonotic subtypes identified, including ST1, ST3, and ST5.

Abstract
The polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. This is the first experimental evidence of the hyperon polarization by the triangular flow originating from the initial density fluctuations. The amplitudes of the sine modulation for the second and third harmonic results are comparable in magnitude, increase from central to peripheral collisions, and show a mild p_{T} dependence. The azimuthal angle dependence of the polarization follows the vorticity pattern expected due to elliptic and triangular anisotropic flow, and qualitatively disagrees with most hydrodynamic model calculations based on thermal vorticity and shear induced contributions. The model results based on one of existing implementations of the shear contribution lead to a correct azimuthal angle dependence, but predict centrality and p_{T} dependence that still disagree with experimental measurements. Thus, our results provide stringent constraints on the thermal vorticity and shear-induced contributions to hyperon polarization. Comparison to previous measurements at RHIC and the LHC for the second-order harmonic results shows little dependence on the collision system size and collision energy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy (iRT) has unlimited potential, but up to 60% of cancer patients do not benefit from it. Enhancing the anti-tumor immune stimulatory effect triggered by radiotherapy is the key to overcome iRT resistance. Immunoglobulin-like transcript (ILT) 4 is a potential immune checkpoint molecule, highly expressed in various tumor cells, but its role in radiotherapy is still unknown. This study confirmed the role and molecular mechanism of ILT4 in suppressing radiotherapy immunosuppressive microenvironment formation and promoting tumor radiotherapy resistance. We propose a new therapeutic strategy that block ILT4 to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy, and cooperate with radiotherapy to reverse immunotherapy resistance. MATERIALS/METHODS Using multiplex immunohistochemistry, we analyzed ILT4 expression, tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) /T cell phenotype and quantity in tumor patient treated with SBRT. Using mice subcutaneous tumor models, Single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplex flowcytometry, we assessed the role of ILT4 inhibition and hyper-fractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) on preventing tumor growth and immune escape. The molecular signaling and cytokines regulated by ILT4 under HFRT were analyzed by transcriptome sequencing and further verified by molecular experiments. By establishing cancer cell/TAM co-culture system in vitro, using CXCL1 protein or CXCR2 inhibitor and macrophage/CD8+ T cell deletion antibody in vivo, we identified the downstream pathway and cytokine of ILT4 to enhancing HFRT -induced TAM immune response. RESULTS In the tumor specimens of NSCLC patients treated with SBRT, we found that high ILT4 expression predicted poor progression-free survival and more M2-TAM recruitment. Among the C57BL/6 mice model, ILT4 inhibition in cancer cells reduced HFRT mediated M2-TAMs accumulation, and to sustain activation and proliferation of CD8+ T cells, and eventually suppressed tumor progression. Mechanistically, RT promoted ILT4 expression, which subsequently induced NF-κB pathway activation and CXCL1 secretion to enhance M2-TAMs migration in vitro. Using CXCL1 protein or CXCR2 inhibitor administration, inferring that ILT4 promotes TAMs migration via NF-κB-CXCL1-CXCR2 axis. Consistently, depletion of TAMs blocked the T cell function impairment and radiotherapy resistance induced by ILT4 in vivo. Importantly, targeting ILT4 potentiated the effect of radiotherapy, overcomes radio-immunotherapy treatment resistance. CONCLUSION ILT4 mediates HFRT-induced M2-like TAMs recruitment and subsequently T cell response impairment by regulating NF-κB-CXCL1-CXCR2 axis. ILT4 is an attractive drug target for enhancing radiotherapy and overcomes radio-immunotherapy treatment resistance.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiotherapy induced anti-tumor effects depend on both direct tumor cell death caused by radiation and immune activation mediated by cGAS-STING pathway. Metformin (MTF), which could augment the tumoricidal efficiency of radiation, is indicated to be a radiosensitizer by basic research. However, several large prospective clinical trials proved otherwise. In present study, we intend to interrogate the effects of MTF on radiotherapy-induced anti-tumor immune responses and try to explain the inconsistent outcomings of radiotherapy combined with MTF in basic research and clinical practice. MATERIALS/METHODS To explore the effects of MTF on radiotherapy induced anti-tumor effects, tumor models were established using E0771, B16F10 and LLC cell lines in both immunocompetent and immunodeficient mice. To investigate the composition and function of immune cells in tumor microenvironments, single-cell transcriptome sequencing of CD45+ cells sorted from tumor microenvironments were carried out, and flow cytometry and multiple immunofluorescence analysis were then performed for validation. To reveal the possible mechanisms, tumor cells were subjected to radiotherapy in the presence or absence of MTF in vitro, and RNA-sequencing was then employed followed by subsequent validation with western blotting, real-time qPCR and flow cytometry. RESULTS We found that systematic administration of MTF could significantly inhibit radiotherapy-induced anti-tumor effects in immunocompetent mouse models. Single cell sequencing of CD45+ cells sorted from tumor microenvironments and further validation showed that administration of MTF dramatically attenuated the infiltration and cytotoxic capacity of CD8+ T cells after radiotherapy. cGAS-STING pathway in tumor cells was required for maximum efficiency of radiotherapy, while MTF curbed cGAS-STING pathway after radiotherapy in a dose-dependent pattern by enhancing autophagy and reducing cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA accumulation, which contributed to compromised anti-tumor effects. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that MTF could antagonize radiotherapy-mediated anti-tumor effects by inhibiting the activation of cGAS-STING pathway and subsequent immune responses, which may partially explain the unsatisfied outcomes of radiotherapy combined with MTF in clinical practices. Since the anti-tumor effects of radiotherapy rely not only on the tumor-killing efficiency of radiation but also on systematic immune responses, our findings suggest that cautions are needed when MTF is administrated with radiotherapy in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Patients with N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were heterogeneous groups and required further stratification. The International Society for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) added new descriptors of three sub-stages for stage N2 NSCLC: N2 at a single station without N1 involvement (N2a1), N2 at a single station with N1 involvement (N2a2), and N2 at multiple stations (N2b). This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for patients with these N2 descriptors. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with histologically confirmed NSCLC after complete resection and divided into PORT group and non-PORT group. The primary endpoint was DFS. The second endpoints were overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS). Propensity-score matching (PSM) of baseline characteristics between the PORT and non-PORT groups was used for validation. RESULTS Totally 1832 patients were enrolled, including 308 N2a1 patients, 682 N2a2 patients, and 842 N2b patients. The median follow-up time was 50.1 months. The survival outcomes of the PORT and non-PORT groups before PSM were shown in Table 1. For patients with N2a1, PORT could not improve the DFS (median DFS of the PORT group and the non-PORT group: not reached vs. 46.8 months, P = 0.41), OS (P = 0.85), or LRFS (P = 0.32), which were consistent with the multivariate analysis and data after the PSM. For patients with N2a2, PORT significantly improved the DFS (median DFS 29.7 vs. 22.2 months, P = 0.02), OS (P = 0.03), and LRFS (P = 0.01). The multivariate analysis and data after the PSM confirmed the benefits in DFS and LRFS, but no benefit was observed in OS (multivariate analysis: HR 0.79, P = 0.18; median OS after PSM: 103.7 vs. 63.1 months, P = 0.34). For patients with N2b, PORT could not improve the DFS (median DFS 20.6 vs. 21.2 months, P = 0.39) but significantly improved the OS (P<0.001) and LRFS (P<0.001). However, the multivariate analysis showed that PORT significantly improved DFS (HR 0.81, P = 0.03), consistent with the data after the PSM (median DFS 20.6 and 17.6 months, P = 0.04). CONCLUSION PORT significantly improved the DFS and LRFS in patients with N2a2 and significantly improved the DFS, LRFS, and OS in patients with N2b. Patients with N2a1 could not benefit from PORT.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The combination of radiation and radiosensitizing chemotherapeutic agents have shown promising anti-tumor effects in NSCLC. Acting as an oncogenic driver, XPO1 is frequently overexpressed and/or mutated in lung cancer. Thus, suppression of XPO1-mediated nuclear export presents a unique therapeutic strategy. We hypothesize that XPO1 inhibition combined with radiotherapy (XRT) may remodel the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and reduce radioresistance, thus enhance systemic anti-tumor effects. MATERIALS/METHODS Herein, we optimized a small molecule inhibitor, WJ01024, which can bind to XPO1 and antagonize its activity to inhibit nuclear export. In the C57BL/6 mouse subcutaneous tumor model, we evaluated the ability of different treatment regimens containing oral WJ01014 single or combined with XRT (one fractions of 15 Gy) in tumor control and tumor recurrence inhibition. The effects of each treatment regimen on the alterations of immunophenotypes, including the quantification, activation, proliferative capacity, exhaustion marker expression, and memory status, were evaluated by flow cytometry. RESULTS In our study, we found that the overexpression of XPO1 was associated with poor prognosis and survival in radioresistant patients with NSCLC. The combination therapy of WJ01024 and XRT resulted in an increase of apoptosis and a decrease of proliferation compared to monotherapy, which was closely correlated with tumor regression and improved survival in the C57BL/6 mouse subcutaneous tumor model. Notably, we found that WJ01024 were shown to enhance the therapeutic effect of XRT by remodeling TIME. Compared with XRT, the addition of WJ01024 increased the infiltration and proliferation of radiation-stimulated CD8+ T cells, which especially promoted the production of interferon-γ and granzyme B. Moreover, the combination therapy also reversed the immunosuppressive effect of radiation on the percentage of Tregs and exhausted T cells in mouse xenografts. Thus, the TIME was significantly improved in combination therapy. Strikingly, mechanistic studies suggested that the activation of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase/stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS/STING) signaling pathway is required to reshape TIME and produce synergistic anti-tumor effect with the combination of WJ01024 and XRT. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that WJ01024 might be a potential synergistic treatment for radiotherapy to control the proliferation of NSCLC cells, promote tumor regression and prolong survival in mouse model of NSCLC by activating cGAS/STING signaling, and this in turn potentiate the immune microenvironment.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation induced heart disease (RIHD) is any form of cardiac toxicity induced by radiation therapy (RT) for thoracic cancers. Our previous studies have shown that RT obviously contributed to cardiovascular diseases-specific death over 3 years while RT became protective in the short term within 2 years survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients. Here, single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to identify various cell subsets and investigate their functions and dynamics in RIHD which offered several targets for early clinical interventions to alleviate RIHD. MATERIALS/METHODS Based on evaluation of histopathological characteristics, ejection fraction and serum levels of cardiac injury biomarkers, we have established mouse models during different stages to simulate clinical RIHD progression. Hence, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing of RIHD models to characterize the diversity within specific cell types and obtain basic information of differently expressed genes (DEGs). We investigated the role of several cell clusters and DEGs in RIHD through bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification. In vivo, mouse models were given intraperitoneal injection of CXCR2 inhibitor. Bone marrow macrophages and primary cardiac fibroblasts were extracted for in vitro experiments. RESULTS RIHD processes were divided into acute injury, compensation and decompensation stage. Transcriptomes of 31769 single cells from cardiac suspension have been profiled. Analysis of scRNA-seq revealed that there were 30 cell clusters participating in RIHD. The fraction of cell populations varied greatly at three stages which indicated RIHD was a dynamic process and each cell cluster functioned differently at different stages. Notably, we observed cardiac resident macrophages (cMAS) subset accounted for the highest fraction during the compensatory period and decreased in decompensation period. Pseudotime analysis showed cMAS had a different developmental trajectory compared to myeloid derived cells. Moreover, CXCR2 was significantly expressed in cMAS cluster. Ligand-receptor interaction results suggested that CXCL1 secreted by cardiac fibroblasts bind primarily to CXCR2+ cMAS and participated in the formation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) related to cardiac fibrosis. Moreover, cardiac fibrosis of RIHD models were relieved after CXCR2 inhibitor treatment. CXCL1 expression in primary cardiac fibroblast elevated after RT. CONCLUSION The identification of main cell clusters provided a new insight to investigate RIHD through dynamics of cell phenotypes and cell-cell communications during RIHD processes. In compensation stage, CXCR2+ cMAS could be activated by CXCL1 secreted by cardiac fibroblasts. Both were associated with ECM and contribute to the decompensation stage.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Both experimental and clinical studies have proved that radiotherapy can lead to not only local control of irradiated tumors, but also tumor regression of non-irradiated area, termed as abscopal effect. Abscopal effect has been attributed to radiotherapy-induced innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms and key cellular components are still unclear. So, the purpose of this study is to reveal the key molecular mechanisms and essential cells in inducing abscopal effect. MATERIALS/METHODS Bilateral MC38 subcutaneous tumor mouse models were established, and primary tumors were subjected to one fraction of 15Gy. CD45+ cells were sorted from both primary and abscopal tumors 3-, 7-, 17- and 24-day post radiotherapy respectively and subjected to single-cell RNA sequencing followed by standard bioinformatic analysis with R studio. To verify the findings, flow cytometry, mIHC and real-time qPCR were carried out to analyze the cellular and molecular components in tumor microenvironments. Cellular depletion experiments and conditional knockout mice were finally employed to confirm key mechanisms that contribute to abscopal effect. RESULTS The primary and abscopal immune microenvironments showed different repertoires time-dependently. Radiotherapy induced durable type I interferon (IFN-I) responses with dramatic infiltration and activation of CD8+ T cells and tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) in primary tumors. However, in abscopal tumors, we found that TAMs rather than CD8+ T cells were the predominant population activated in early stages (3- and 7-day post radiotherapy), and functional CD8+ T cells enriched until late stages (24-day post radiotherapy). Thorough analysis of scRNA-seq and experimental validation discovered a unique subset of TAMs characterized by high expression of IL-1β emerged as early as 3-day post radiotherapy in both primary and secondary tumor immune microenvironments, termed as IL-1β+ TAMs herein. IL-1β+ TAMs were the main activated component in abscopal tumors in early stage, and strongest respondent to IFN-I pathway. Abscopal effect was significantly attenuated when IFN-I response was abolished in either primary or abscopal tumors or TAMs were depleted from abscopal tumors. CONCLUSION Our data identified a subset of immune cells, IL-1β+ TAMs, and IFN-I as the essential cellular and molecular components that contribute to abscopal effect. Mechanically, radiotherapy-induced dramatical IFN-I response in primary tumors lead to enrichment of IL-1β+ TAMs, which initiated the anti-tumor immune response in abscopal tumors. All these findings provided theoretical basis for understanding and improving radiotherapy-induced abscopal effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To discover and validate spatially-resolved protein markers associated with resistance to SBRT in early-stage NSCLC patients. MATERIALS/METHODS We initially evaluated a discovery cohort of 44 early-stage NSCLC patients treated with SBRT as first-line treatment at the Shandong cancer hospital. Using the GeoMx DSP system, 71 proteins were measured in five molecular compartments (tumor, leukocyte, lymphocyte, macrophage, and stroma) on pre-treatment samples. Candidate biomarkers were orthogonally validated with the Gem AQUA method of quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF). For internal independent cohort validation, we assessed pre-treatment samples derived from 150 NSCLC patients who receive radiotherapy. We further analyzed 100 radiotherapy untreated patients with operable NSCLC to address prognostic significance. RESULTS Using continuous log-scaled data, we identified CD44 expression in the lymphocyte compartment (CD3+) as a novel predictor of poor progression-free survival (PFS) (multivariate HR = 7.323, p = 0.0079) and overall survival (OS) (multivariate HR = 8.65, p = 0.028) in the discovery set. High CD44 expression in the tumor compartment (pan-cytokeratin, CK+) predicted significantly shorter OS (multivariate HR = 2.208, p = 0.0212), with no significant difference in PFS. We validated by QIF that lymphocyte CD44 levels were associated with resistance to SBRT therapy and prognostic for poor outcomes. Using QIF in an independent radiotherapy treated cohort, we validated that CD44 levels in the lymphocyte compartment were associated with poor PFS and OS. High lymphocyte cell CD44 was not prognostic in non-radiotherapy-treated cohort. Using DSP data, intratumoral regions with elevated lymphocyte cell CD44 expression showed prominent upregulation of CD127, ARG1 and VISTA in the discovery Cohort. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we identified and validated lymphocyte cell CD44 as a biomarker indicative of resistance to SBRT or radiotherapy in patients with NSCLC. Further evaluation is warranted to address the predictive value of lymphocyte cell CD44 in multi-institutional studies and clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) constitute a plastic and heterogeneous cell population of the tumor microenvironment (TME) that can regulate tumor proliferation and support resistance to therapy, constituting promising targets for the development of novel anticancer agents. The efficacy of radiotherapy, a mainstay of cancer treatment, can strongly influence TAMs recruitment and phenotype. Our previous results demonstrated that SHP-2 and PD-L1 inhibition combined with radiotherapy enhances systemic antitumor effects in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Especially, SHP-2 has an important effect on the polarization of TAM in the context of radiotherapy. However, the immune mechanisms of SHP-2 in TAM remain largely unknown, and this leads us to implement this project. MATERIALS/METHODS Transmission electron microscopy and differential ultracentrifugation were used to verify the existence of exosomes. The bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and peritoneal macrophages (PM) were derived from C57BL/6 mice for vitro tests. In vivo and in vitro assays were used to identify roles of exosomal miRNA targeting SHP-2. To investigate the regulating function of SHP-2 in TAMs, co-culture experiments, qPCR, Western Blot, Flow Cytometry and Oxygraph-2k were employed. And we also explore tumor growth and tumor environment changes in SHP-2 flox/floxLyz-Cre+/- (CKO) mice. RESULTS We found that irradiated tumor cells-derived exosomes reprogramed their energy metabolism and polarized primary macrophages to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Furthermore, SHP-2 in macrophages was a direct target of exosomal miR-138-5p from irradiated tumor cells. In vitro study also demonstrates that miR-138-5p can down-regulate SHP-2 in the BMDMs and PMs. Further research has shown that SHP-2 negatively regulated glycolysis through dephosphorylating Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) at the Tyr105 site. In addition, SHP-2 can inhabit PKM2 translocation to the nucleus by dephosphorylating PKM2 at the Ser37 site. Thus, the SHP099 (a SHP-2 inhibitor) can uptake and utilization of glucose by SHP-2/PKM2(Tyr105) (Ser37)/β-catenin/LDHA/Glut-1 axis, suggesting that SHP099 plays positive roles on glycolysis and M1-polarized. In vivo study showed that SHP-2 flox/floxLyz-Cre+/- (CKO) mice display enhanced control of solid tumor growth, accompanied by increased the proportion of M1-like macrophages. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that exosomal miR-138-5p from irradiated tumor cells can modulate macrophage polarization by targeting SHP-2. And SHP-2 negatively regulates glycolysis and polarize macrophage to an M2 phenotype by SHP-2/PKM2(Tyr105) (Ser37)/β-catenin/LDHA/Glut-1 axis.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiotherapy is commonly applied in multiple cancer types. Besides irradiation induced direct cell death, radiotherapy stimulated significant immune responses for tumor control. Intact and functional cGAS-STING pathway in both tumor cells and host cells is indispensable for efficient irradiation-induced anti-tumor effects. Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (Carm1) is emerging as an attractive therapeutic target and a biomarker for prognosis in various types of cancer. It has been reported that Carm1 inhibition could improve immunotherapy induced anti-tumor effects. However, it remains unclear how tumor cell intrinsic Carm1 affects irradiation-induced anti-tumor immunity. MATERIALS/METHODS Carm1 deficient cell lines were established in MC38 and B16F10 murine cancer cells using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. To verify the effects of tumor `subcutaneous tumor mouse models were established and one fraction of 15Gy was administrated when the tumor volume reached 200mm3, followed by flow cytometry assays. Transcriptome sequencing, protein mass spectrometry, single-cell sequencing, Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP), real-time qPCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence and co-immunoprecipitation were carried out to explore and verify possible molecular mechanisms. RESULTS Here we found Carm1 deficiency in tumor cells dramatically enhanced irradiation-induced anti-tumor immune responses. Transcriptome sequencing of irradiated tumor cells and further experiments then validated that cGAS-STING pathway was significantly activated after irradiation in the absence of Carm1 in tumor cells, which contributed to enhance anti-tumor immunity after irradiation. Mechanistically, Carm1 deficiency in tumor cells attenuated autophagy, resulting in increased cytoplasmic mtDNA enrichment and enhanced cGAS-STING pathway activation. On the other hand, we also found that Carm1 caused asymmetric arginine methylation (ADMA) modification of TBK1 with reduced phosphorylation level, and Carm1 deficiency could activate cGAS-STING pathway by reducing AMDA modification and enhancing phosphorylation of TBK1. Finally, Carm1 inhibitor EZM2302 was applied in combination with radiotherapy in vitro, and it's indicated that combination therapy resulted in intensive anti-tumor immunity and prominent abscopal effects. CONCLUSION In this study, we identified that Carm1 ablation in tumor cells could promote irradiation-induced antitumor immunity through tumor cell intrinsic STING pathway activation. Mechanically, Carm1 deficiency directly activated the cGAS-STING pathway by interacting with TBK1 and increased mtDNA accumulation in cytoplasm by inhibiting autophagy. These findings provided new strategies for targeting Carm1 to boost the efficacy of radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radioimmunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer has good clinical application prospects. The role and mechanism of RUNX1 in DNA damage repair were explored for its potential role in lung adenocarcinoma radioimmunotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS To study the effect of RUNX1 expression level on the expression of DNA damage repair system related factors and radiation sensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cells. As an important nuclear transcription factor, RUNX1 was explored whether directly regulating the expression of Nrf2, Rad51, BRCA1, and verifying their respective DNA binding sites in the promoter region through relevant databases. To observe the effect of RUNX1 knockout and overexpression on the expression level of PD-L1 in tumor cells at the cell level; The effect of RUNX1 expression level on the sorting and presentation of PD-L1 cells was investigated by the method of nucleocytoplasmic separation. According to literature reports, CMTM6 and ALIX play a key role in the process of PD-L1 cell sorting and presentation, and explore whether RUNX1 plays a role through this factor. The effect of phosphorylation level of different splicing bodies of RUNX1 (RUNX1a/b/c) on the expression level and DNA damage repair system related factors on tumor radiosensitivity were also explored. RESULTS According to TCGA database, RUNX1 is highly expressed and phosphorylated in lung adenocarcinoma. Through gene comparison with the database, it was found that RUNX1 binding sites existed in the promoter region of several factors related to this study, including ALIX, Nrf2, BRCA1, RAD51, ATM, H2AX, etc. After being activated by MAPKp38 phosphorylation, RUNX1a can positively regulate Nrf2 signal pathway. The expression of RUNX1 and p-RUNX1 is time-dependent on ionizing radiation. At the same time, it was found that the expression of RUNX1 and p-RUNX1 was dose-dependent on ionizing radiation, and the expression trend of Nrf2 signal pathway related factors was consistent with RUNX1. RUNX1 regulates the expression of PD-L1, BRCA1, ALIX and Nrf2. Bioinformatics analysis and flow cytometry data show that RUNX1 has inhibitory effect on tumor microenvironment of lung adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSION RUNX1 regulates DNA damage repair system and has inhibitory effect on tumor immunity. Inhibiting the expression of RUNX1 in lung adenocarcinoma cells can enhance the effect of radioimmunotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) CAPSTONE-1, a phase 3 trial, showed that SHR-1316 (PD-L1 antibody) combined with standard first-line chemotherapy could prolong overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with ES-SCLC. The CREST trial reported consolidative thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) of 30 Gy in 10 fractions provided a 10% 2-year OS benefit and more intensive TRT should be investigated in ES-SCLC. In the era of immunotherapy, the role of TRT also needs further exploration. Therefore, we designed this clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1316 plus first-line chemotherapy followed by TRT combined with SHR-1316. MATERIALS/METHODS Key inclusion criteria were pts aged 18-75 years, with previously untreated histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC, and an ECOG performance status of 0-1. Eligible pts would receive 4∼6 cycles of SHR-1316 (20mg/kg, D1, q3w) combined with EP/EC (etoposide, 100mg/m2, D1-5, q3w and cisplatin, 75mg/m², D1-3, q3w or carboplatin, AUC = 5, D1, q3w), followed by SHR-1316 combined with TRT (≥3 Gy*10 f or ≥2 Gy*25 f, involved-field irradiation), and then the maintenance therapy with SHR-1316 until disease progression or intolerable adverse events (AEs). The main endpoints included ORR, PFS and safety. RESULTS From October 2020 to January 2023, 33 pts received SHR-1316 and sequential consolidative TRT. Among them, 19 pts received high-dose TRT (>3 Gy*10 f or ≥2 Gy*25 f) and 14 pts received low-dose TRT (≤3 Gy*10 f or<2 Gy*25 f). The median age was 62 (range: 38-73). Most pts were male (28, 84.8%), former smokers (22, 66.7%) with an ECOG performance status 1 (32, 97%). Ten (30.3%) pts were diagnosed with brain metastasis and 10 (30.3%) pts had liver metastasis at baseline. At the data cutoff date, 9 pts remained on treatment, the average number of treatment cycles was 9.2. 33 pts had at least one 1 post-treatment tumor assessment. The confirmed ORR and DCR were 90.9% (30/33) and 100% (33/33) in all pts, were 89.5% (17/19) and 100% (19/19) in high-dose TRT group, and were 92.9% (13/14) and 100% (14/14) in low-dose TRT group. The median PFS was 10.2(CI: 5.8∼14.7) months in all pts, was 7 (CI: 3.8∼10.2) months in high-dose TRT group and 10.4 (CI: 8.4∼12.3) months in low-dose TRT group. AEs occurred in 27 (81.8%) pts and grade 3 or 4 AEs occurred in 20 (60.6%) pts. The most common grade 3 or 4 AEs included neutropenia (15, 45.5%), leukopenia (8, 24.2%), lymphocytopenia (5, 15.2%), pneumonia (3, 9.1%), anemia (3, 9.1%) and thrombocytopenia (2, 6.1%). CONCLUSION SHR-1316 plus chemotherapy and sequential TRT as first-line therapy for ES-SCLC showed promising efficacy and acceptable safety. There is no significant difference between high-dose and low-dose TRT groups in terms of safety and efficacy according to current data.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy was rarely reported in the management of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We retrospectively assessed the role and modality of this combination in Stage III-IV unresectable SCLC. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with stage III and IV SCLC were enrolled according to AJCC 8th edition. Both efficacy and safety of immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy were evaluated. Thereinto, patients received first-line chemo-immunotherapy and sequential thoracic consolidation radiotherapy (TCRT) were further evaluated. Survival and descriptive analyses were performed. RESULTS Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2021, 51 patients were included in our analysis. Median follow-up was 28.0 months (95% CI 22.8-33.2). Patients received radiotherapy in treatment course had a prolonged 2-year overall survival (OS). And in the first-line immunotherapy cohort of 27 patients, the addition of TCRT significantly improved 2y-OS (72.22% vs. 13.89%, p = 0.0048), 2y-locoregional recurrence free survival (LRRFS) (90.00% vs 48.00%, p = 0.011), and 2y-distance progression free survival (DPFS) (66.67% vs. 16.67%, p = 0.039). Subgroup analyses showed that TCRT rendered superior outcomes regardless of brain metastases. Dose-escalation (45 Gy/15f) and earlier radiotherapy seemed to improve the benefit. Of 70.37% (19/27) patients experienced disease progression in the TCRT evaluation cohort, 63.16% (12/19) patients failed in brain. A tendency toward better OS and superior brain metastases free survival (BMFS) were observed after receiving prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI). Finally, the most common grade 2 or higher toxic effects were pneumonitis in all patients (11.76% of immune-related vs. 7.84% of radiation related). CONCLUSION Earlier addition of TCRT to immunotherapy could significantly improve survival and extracranial control for stage IIIA-IVB unresectable SCLC patients, with no increased risk of adverse events. In the era of immunotherapy, PCI may still be a recommended strategy. Further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation therapy, as one of the canonical treatments for classic tumors, results in impressive clinical responses. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been increasingly used as one main therapy in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SBRT affords good local tumor control, however, recurrence and metastasis are still the main causes of treatment failure. With the continuous deepening of the relationship between radiotherapy (RT) and immunity, reversing RT induced immunosuppression is considered to be a promising strategy to improve radiotherapy efficacy. Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) is mainly expressed in immune cells while rarely expressed in tumor cells. It has been proven to play a negative regulatory role in T cell receptor (TCR) signal. Therefore, we hypothesized that the combination of HPK1 inhibitor with SBRT would boost local and systemic anti-tumor immune responses by potentiating the anti-tumor effects of SBRT. MATERIALS/METHODS Using Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP), we analyzed HPK1 expression in the tumor specimens of 39 NSCLC patients treated with SBRT. By establishing mice subcutaneous tumor models, we assessed the combination of a HPK1 inhibitor and local hyper-fractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) on local and systemic tumor control and mouse survival. Using Single-cell RNA sequencing, Flow cytometry and pharmacological treatment, we analyzed and verified Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and excavated the specific mechanism of the HPK1 inhibitor enhancing HFRT -induced anti -tumor immune response. RESULTS In the tumor specimens of NSCLC patients treated with SBRT, we found that high expression HPK1 in TILs predicted poor progression-free survival (PFS). Among the C57BL/6 mice model, HFRT combined with a HPK1 inhibitor promoted local response, and improved the survival rate of mice, showing better anti-tumor curative effects. We further showed that HFRT promoted CD8+ T cell cytotoxic activity, and also aggravated CD8+ T cell exhaustion. After the intervention of HPK1 small molecular inhibitors, the proportion of exhaustion CD8+T cells was significantly reduced, while CD8+T cell cytotoxic activity was further enhanced in the later period. Single-cell RNA sequencing and pharmacological inhibition of HPK1 revealed that HPK1 mediated the exhaustion of CD8+T cells by regulating RGS16. In abscopal effects preclinical models, BGB-15025 induced obvious abscopal effect. CONCLUSION Thus, we demonstrate that HPK1 mediates HFRT-induced CD8+T cell exhaustion by regulating RGS16, and HPK1 is an attractive drug target for enhancing local and systemic radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Proton beam therapy (PBT) has been demonstrated to deliver equivalent dosimetric radiation with the benefit of improved sparing of organs at risk (OAR). Deep inspiration breath holding (DIBH) is a commonly used method for reducing the radiation dose to the heart and lungs. However, few studies have ever reported the usage of DIBH combined with proton beam therapy in cardiac tumors. The purpose of this case report is to compare the dosimetric differences between photon radiotherapy and proton radiation therapy (PBT) with or without deep inspiration breath holding. MATERIALS/METHODS A 66-year-old female patient with cardiac tumors was recruited, and the prescribed dose of radiotherapy for cardiac tumors was 95%PGTV 50Gy/2.5Gy/20f. Two simulation CT scans were collected during free breath (FB) and DIBH. And the target area was delineated on deep inspiratory breath holding image (DIBH-CT) and free breathing image (FB-CT). The target area of FB-CT was modified by referring to the ten-time phases of 4D-CT. Finally, IMRT, VMAT and PBT plans (DIBH-IMRT, DIBH-VAMT, DIBH-PBT, FB-IMRT, FB-VAMT, FB-PBT) were generated on the above images, and the organs at risk were limited as follows: lungs V20 ≤20%, lungs mean ≤11 Gy, heart V30 ≤40%, coronary artery mean ≤26 Gy, spinal cord ≤30 Gy, and left breast mean ≤5 Gy. RESULTS All of the six plans satisfied most of the treatment planning goals. DIBH resulted in a dose reduction in all organs at risk including the heart, lungs, coronary artery (CA), spinal cord and breasts, when compared with FB using IMRT, VMAT, or PBT. Compared with the FB, DIBH provided a significant reduction in the mean dose of coronary artery (CA mean for DIBH-IMRT vs FB-IMRT = 28.32 Gy vs 42.66 Gy, CA mean for DIBH-VMAT vs FB-VAMT = 26.44Gy vs 40.85Gy, CA mean for DIBH-PBT vs FB-PBT = 27.71Gy vs 39.51Gy). Similarly, when compared with IMRT or VMAT in either FB or DIBH, PBT reduced radiation doses for all of the OAR. In comparison, the difference was less significant between IMRT and VMAT technique. Pitmen compared with IMRT and VMAT, reduced significantly the max dose of spinal cord, lungs V5, breast-L/R mean. Totally, DIBH-PBT was observed sufficient dose coverage and better sparing of organs at risk. CONCLUSION PBT combined with DIBH technique gained an advantage in the sparing of OAR for cardiac tumors, especially in coronary protection. The possibility of broader application of PBT with DIBH in clinical practice is currently being evaluated and further studies are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Glioblastoma is an intracranial highly malignant primary tumor, and postoperative radiotherapy is a common treatment of glioblastoma. While radiotherapy resistance of glioblastoma is an important reason for treatment failure. IKBKE is overexpressed in gliomas, but its role in radiotherapy is unknown. This study confirmed that IKBKE can directly phosphorylate AKT protein to regulate FOXO3a, thus promoting the radioresistance of glioblastoma, and proposed a new therapeutic strategy to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS We used flow cytometry, tunel staining, plate cloning, a cell counting kit and WB to confirm the effects of IKBKE and FOXO3a on radioresistance of glioblastoma, and immunofluorescence and WB were used to detect the expression of γ-H2AX. Subcutaneous tumor formation in mice and immunohistochemical staining was performed. IP combined with mass spectrometry, immunofluorescence, endogenous and exogenous IP were used to confirm the interaction between IKBKE and AKT. Point mutation, IP and WB were used to confirm the phosphorylation site of AKT. IP and some small molecule inhibitors were used to confirm the relationship between IKBKE, AKT and PI3K. The effect of IKBKE on FOXO3a was confirmed by WB and qPCR. The protein relationship among IKBKE, FOXO3a and 14-3-3 was confirmed by CHX, MG132, ubiquitin test, immunofluorescence and IP. The above experiments were carried out to verify the effect of Amlexanox, an IKBKE inhibitor, on glioblastoma. And its pharmacokinetics in the brain was determined by LC-MS to provide a theoretical basis for further clinical use. RESULTS It was found that IKBKE could increase the radioresistance of glioblastoma in vitro and in vivo. IKBKE could directly phosphorylate AKT, and its phosphorylation sites were Ser473 and Thr308. We also certified that IKBKE activated AKT independent of PI3K. IKBKE inhibited the expression of FOXO3a on protein level, promoted its ubiquitin degradation, enhanced its interaction with 14-3-3, and inhibited its transportation into the nucleus. FOXO3a can increase the radiosensitivity of glioblastoma. Amlexanox, an IKBKE inhibitor, can inhibit the radiosensitivity of glioblastoma and partially pass through the blood-brain barrier to enhance the radiosensitivity of intracranial tumors. CONCLUSION IKBKE can activate AKT independent of PI3K by directly phosphorylating AKT Ser473 and Thr308, thus increasing the phosphorylation of FOXO3a. Phosphorylated FOXO3a promoted its ubiquitin degradation, and inhibited its transportation into the nucleus, causing radioresistance in glioblastoma. IKBKE inhibitor Amlexanox can pass through the blood-brain barrier and increase the radiosensitivity of intracranial tumor cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) plus cisplatin as the regimen of conversional chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) in locally advanced borderline resectable or unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with locally advanced ESCC (cT3-4, Nany, M0-1, M1 was limited to lymph node metastasis in the supraclavicular area) were enrolled. All the patients received the cCRT of nab-PTX plus cisplatin. After the cCRT, those resectable patients received esophagectomy; those unresectable patients continued to receive the definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT). The locoregional control (LRC), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), distant metastasis free survival (DMFS), pathological complete response (pCR), R0 resection rate and adverse events (AEs) were calculated. RESULTS A total of 45 patients with ESCC treated from October 2019 to May 2021 were finally included. The median follow-up time was 30.3 months. The LRC, OS, EFS, DMFS at 1and 2 years were 81.5%, 86.6%, 64.3%, 73.2% and 72.4%, 68.8%, 44.8%, 52.7% respectively. 21 patients (46.7%) received conversional chemoradiotherapy plus surgery (cCRT+S). The pCR rate and R0 resection rate were 47.6% and 84.0%. The LRC rate at 1 and 2 years were 95.0%, 87.1% in cCRT+S patients and 69.3%, 58.7% in dCRT patients respectively (HR, 5.14; 95% CI, 1.10-23.94; P = 0.021). The OS rate at 1 and 2 years were 95.2% and 84.2% in resectable patients compared to 78.8% and 54.4% in unresectable patients (HR, 3.41; 95% CI, 1.10-10.61; P = 0.024). The toxicities during chemoradiotherapy were tolerated, the most common grade 3-4 toxicities were radiation esophagitis (15.6%). CONCLUSION Nab-PTX plus cisplatin were effective and safe as the regimen of conversional chemoradiotherapy of ESCC. The patients receiving conversional chemoradiotherapy plus surgery (cCRT+S) were prone to have a better survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In recent years, many studies have shown that lipids and lipid-like substances are key regulatory factors in tumor development and play an important role in immune regulation. However, it remains unclear whether serum lipids influence the outcome of immunotherapy. Therefore, determining the serum lipid levels of the immune treatment-beneficiary population may be valuable. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of baseline serum lipid levels in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving immunotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively included 294 patients with stage III-IV NSCLC who received immunotherapy continuously from December 2018 to November 2021 at our hospital, collecting their pre-treatment lipid levels, such as total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Of these, 160 receiving immunotherapy without combined radiotherapy (ICIs-nRT) and 134 combined with radiotherapy (iRT). The endpoint was the correlation between pre-treatment serum lipid levels and overall survival (OS), as well as progression-free survival (PFS). The X-tile tool was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of the indicators. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to calculate OS and PFS and log rank tests were used for comparison. And the Cox proportional hazard model were used for univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS In all 294 patients, low TG, low TC, and low HDL-C predicted poor OS (P<0.001) and poor PFS (P<0.05). Low LDL-C was associated with poor OS (P = 0.0001). Among 160 patients receiving ICIs-nRT and 134 iRT patients, low levels of TG (P = 0.0134, 0.0024), TC (P = 0.0003, 0.0023), HDL-C (P = 0.0004, 0.0043), and LDL-C (P = 0.0003, 0.0419) were associated with worse OS compared to high levels of them. In the ICIs-nRT patients, low HDL-C predicted poor PFS (P = 0.0011). In 134 iRT patients, low levels of TG (P = 0.0017), TC (P = 0.0028), and LDL-C (P = 0.0330) were poor prognostic factors for PFS. In the univariate and multivariate analysis with OS in all patients, TG and HDL-C were independent risk factors, while TG was an independent risk factor in the analysis with PFS. In ICIs-nRT patients, HDL-C was an independent prognostic factor for patients' OS and PFS. In iRT patients, both TG and HDL-C were prognostic risk factors for OS. CONCLUSION These data confirm that higher serum lipid levels are associated with better outcomes in patients with NSCLC undergoing immunotherapy. Serum lipids may identify tumors that are more likely to respond to immunotherapy. Radiation therapy may affect lipid metabolism within the body to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In the current clinical work, hypo-fractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) and conventional fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT) are considered to be completely different treatments. However, the difference between the HFRT and CFRT in reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is still inconclusive. Our previous work found that compared with HFRT, CFRT is more inclined to trigger immunosuppressive phenotype, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Based on this, we use single-cell mRNA sequencing to describe the landscape of TIME with HFRT and CFRT, and find the key targets or pathways to combine with radiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS By simulating the in vivo radiotherapy strategy, we built recurrent murine cell lines mimicking CFRT and HFRT recurrent tumors (CFRT_R and HFRT_R tumors) with small animal radiation research platform (SARRP). RESULTS Based on this unique model, we found that CFRT_R tumors can promote local relapse and lung metastasis significantly compared to HFRT_R tumors. Results of single-cell mRNA sequencing and FCAS also indicate that CFRT_R tumors possess more macrophages in the tumor site and neutrophils in the metastatic site. By using quantitative proteomics of secreted proteins, we prove that CFRT_R tumors secret more Ccl2, S100a11 and Slpi. Mechanically, CFRT_R tumors influence the polarization of M2 TAMs leading to tumor growth through secretion of Ccl2 and S100a11. Meanwhile, CFRT_R tumors also augment the infiltration of neutrophils in the lung through Slpi altering the lung immune landscape to support metastasis. ChIP and EMSA results also reveal that RelB is the core transcription factor of Ccl2, S100a11 and Slpi. Furthermore, local relapse and lung metastasis can be reversed by targeting non-canonical NF-kB pathway. CONCLUSION The effect of CFRT_R and HFRT_R tumors in reprogramming TIME is different, CFRT_R tumors can trigger immunosuppressive phenotype compared to HFRT_R tumors by possessing more M2 TAMs in the tumor site and neutrophils in the metastatic site. The killing function of tumor infiltrated T cells can be inhibited by accumulated M2 TAMs, and abundant neutrophils in lungs contribute to the formation of the pre-metastatic niche. Targeting non-canonical NF-kB pathway can reverse local relapse and lung metastasis in CFRT_R tumors by suppressing Ccl2, S100a11 and Slpi secretion. In short, our study not only deepens the understanding of the immune landscape of CFRT and HFRT recurrence tumors, but also provides a novel therapy of CFRT recurrence patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To assess the radiation therapy (RT) dose to radiation-associated hematologic toxicities (HTs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after RT combined with immunotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS Cases of NSCLC treated with RT combined with immunotherapy at Shandong Cancer Hospital in China were identified. The mean dose and the volume of the spinal cord receiving at least 5 to 40 Gy (V5-V40) were retrospectively recorded. Logistic regression was used to estimate associations between grade ≥3 HT (HT3+) and dosimetric/clinical parameters. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to determine dosimetric cut-points. RESULTS Ninety-nine patients were analyzed. The majority were male (n = 78, 78.8%) and received chemotherapy (n = 83, 83.9%). All patients received either anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint (n = 89, 89.9%) or anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint (n = 10, 10.1%) therapy. The rate of HT3+ was 24.2% (n = 24). Spinal cord mean dose, V5 to V40 and BMI parameters associated with HT3+ were included in the multivariate analysis. On multivariate analysis, increasing mean spinal cord dose (per Gy) was associated with higher odds of developing HT3+ (odds ratio 1.053, 95% confidence interval 1.002-1.105, P = .041), as were increasing spinal cord V5 to V20 (As show in the Table below). The optimal cut-points identified were V5 = 52.5%, V10 = 47.5%, V20 = 39.4%, and mean dose = 23.3 Gy. Patients with values above these cut-points had an approximately 2-fold increased risk of HT3+. CONCLUSION We found that mean spinal cord dose and low-dose parameters (V5-V20) were associated with HT3+ in NSCLC patients after RT and immunotherapy. The mean dose of the spinal cord should be kept lower than 23.3 Gy for these patients. These data suggested that efforts to spare doses to the spinal cord might reduce rates of severe HT.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The FLAME trial reported that focal boosting of prostate tumor to 95 Gy in 35 fractions improves biochemical control. However, this treatment is not commonly used in the United States. We investigated a focally boosted treatment of 84 Gy in 28 fractions (EQD2 108 Gy, BED 252 Gy). MATERIALS/METHODS Between 2019-2022, men with unfavorable intermediate risk (uIR) and high risk (HR) prostate cancer were enrolled on a prospective registry and received a novel IMRT regimen. The dose levels were 84 Gy to the gross tumor volume (GTV) as defined on mpMRI (T2W and ADC) with no added margin, 70 Gy to the prostate and proximal seminal vesicles, and optional 50.4 Gy to elective pelvic lymph nodes (all 28 fractions). Patients received fiducial markers and hydrogel spacer. The treatment planning goal was to cover 95% of the GTV at 84 Gy, and also meet the target and normal tissue dosimetry criteria of the hypofractionated treatment arm of NRG-GU005. VMAT was used for treatment delivery. ADT was given at the discretion of the treating physician. RESULTS A total of 20 men were included in the study, 2 (10%) uIR and 18 (90%) HR. 9 (45%) tumors were GS 7, 7 (35%) were GS 8, and 4 (20%) were GS 9. There were 13 (65%) stage cT1, 4 (20%) cT2 and 3 (15%) cT3. One (5%) patient received short term ADT, 18 (95%) long term ADT, and 1 (5%) refused ADT. 18 (90%) men received elective nodal radiation. The mean baseline PSA was 25.1 (range 4.2-73.4). The median baseline IPSS score was 11.1 (IQR 4.5-12), and 4 patients had severe baseline urinary symptoms (IPSS ≥20). The mean baseline prostate volume was 57.4 cc (range 26.8-198.3). The mean volume of the 84 Gy boost target was 7.1 cc (range 2.3-15.0) and the mean proportion of the prostate boosted was 14.8% (range 2% - 47%). There were 10 (50%) men with 1 boost target, 6 (30%) with two, 3 (15%) with three, and 1 (5%) had 4 boost targets. Targets were located in peripheral zone (85%), transition zone (30%), and central zone (5%). Patients met all per-protocol normal tissue criteria of NRG-GU005, except for bladder D0.03cc. The mean±SD (Gy) rectum D15%, D25%, and D30% were 51±5, 45±5, 42±4. The mean±SD (Gy) bladder D0.03cc, D30%, D50% were 79±4, 50±8, 38±10. At a median follow up time of 21.3 months (range 7.1-38.2), no patients have developed biochemical progression, local recurrence, distant progression, or death from prostate cancer. One patient died at 18 months from metastatic colorectal cancer, unrelated to prostate cancer treatment. Acute grade 1-2 GU toxicity occurred in 13 (65%) patients, and acute grade 1-2 GI toxicity occurred in 4 (20%) patients. No patients developed grade 3+ acute or late GU or GI toxicity. Two patients required temporary foley catheter for obstruction during RT, and both had IPSS >20 at baseline. The patient who refused ADT had a PSA bounce of magnitude 2.2 ng/mL at 14 months, PSA values declined without additional treatment. CONCLUSION A novel 28-fraction focal boosted IMRT treatment is feasible and has an acceptable early toxicity profile. Oncologic results are promising but require longer follow up.

Abstract
The interaction between trophoblasts, stroma cells, and immune cells at the maternal-fetal interface constitutes the functional units of the placenta, which is crucial for successful pregnancy outcomes. However, the investigation of this intricate interplay is restricted due to the absence of efficient experimental models. To address this challenge, a robust, reliable methodology for generating placenta villi organoids (PVOs) from early, late, or diseased pregnancies using air-liquid surface culture is developed. PVOs contain cytotrophoblasts that can self-renew and differentiate directly, along with stromal elements that retain native immune cells. Analysis of scRNA sequencing and WES data reveals that PVOs faithfully recapitulate the cellular components and genetic alterations of the corresponding source tissue. Additionally, PVOs derived from patients with preeclampsia exhibit specific pathological features such as inflammation, antiangiogenic imbalance, and decreased syncytin expression. The PVO-based propagation of primary placenta villi should enable a deeper investigation of placenta development and exploration of the underlying pathogenesis and therapeutics of placenta-originated diseases.

Abstract
IGFBP1 plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE), but the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of IGFBP1 gene and PE susceptibility has not yet been determined. In our study, 229 women with PE and 361 healthy pregnant (non-PE) women were enrolled to investigate its association via TaqMan genotyping assay. In addition, the protein levels of IGFBP1 under different genotypes were explored by ELISA and IHC. We found that IGFBP1 SNP rs1065780A > G was associated with an decreased risk for PE. Women with GG (P = 0.027) or AG (Padj. = 0.023) genotype manifested a significantly lower risk for PE compared to women with AA genotype. In PE group, women carrying G allele exhibited greater fetal birth weight, lower diastolic BP, and lower levels of ALT and AST. The G genotype was found significantly less frequently in the severe preeclampsia (SPE) group than in the non-PE group (GG vs. AA, P = 0.007; G vs. A, P = 0.006). Additionally, women in the PE group who experienced fetal growth restriction (FGR) reflected a lower level of the allele G than did the non-FGR group (P = 0.032); this was not the case for the non-PE group.Rs1065780A>G elevated IGFBP1 protein level in plasma and decidua in PE group. In conclusion Chinese Han women with the SNP IGFBP1 rs1065780 occupied by G exhibited a lower risk of developing PE relative to women with the A genotype and augured for improved pregnancy outcomes through elevation of IGFBP1 protein level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of women's reproductive history on live-birth rate and perinatal outcome after first frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) without preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of women who had undergone their first FET cycle between January 2014 and December 2020 at a university-affiliated fertility center. No transferred embryo underwent preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy. The women were categorized into five groups based on their reproductive history: no previous pregnancy; previous termination of pregnancy (TOP); previous pregnancy loss; previous ectopic pregnancy (EP); and previous live birth. The women with no previous pregnancy were considered as the reference group. The primary outcome was the live-birth rate and secondary endpoints included rates of positive pregnancy test, clinical pregnancy, pregnancy loss and EP as well as perinatal outcomes such as birth weight and preterm birth. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to control for a number of potential confounders, including age, body mass index, education level, duration and cause of infertility, insemination method, type of endometrial preparation, number of embryos transferred, embryo developmental stage, quality of the embryos transferred, year of treatment and endometrial thickness. Additionally, propensity score matching (PSM) was used to check the robustness of the main findings. RESULTS In total, 25 329 women were included in the final analysis. On univariate analysis, each reproductive-history type except for previous EP was significantly associated with worse pregnancy outcome following in-vitro fertilization (IVF), including rates of positive pregnancy test, clinical pregnancy, pregnancy loss and live birth, when compared with the group of women with no previous pregnancy. However, after correcting for several potential confounders, the differences in rates of live birth, pregnancy loss, positive pregnancy test and clinical pregnancy were no longer significant between the study and control groups on multivariable regression models, while the risk of EP after embryo transfer was elevated among women with a previous TOP or EP. There was no increased risk of adverse perinatal outcome associated with reproductive history compared with the control group. Notably, similar results were obtained from the PSM models, confirming the robustness of the main findings. CONCLUSION Relative to women without a previous pregnancy, those with a prior TOP, pregnancy loss, EP or live birth did not have compromised live-birth rate or perinatal outcomes following FET without preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, with the exception of an increased risk of EP in those with prior TOP or EP. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
The biological samples of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases are extremely precious. Collecting and preserving these biological samples are helpful to elucidate the mechanisms and improve the level of diagnose and treatment of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases. The standardized construction of biobanks for oral genetic diseases and rare diseases is important for achieving these goals. At present, there is very little information on the construction of these biobanks, and the standards or suggestions for the classification and coding of biological samples from oral and maxillofacial sources, and this is not conducive to the standardization and information construction of biobanks for special oral diseases. This consensus summarizes the background, necessity, principles, and key points of constructing the biobank for oral genetic diseases and rare diseases. On the base of the group standard "Classification and Coding for Human Biomaterial" (GB/T 39768-2021) issued by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Biological Samples, we suggest 76 new coding numbers for different of biological samples from oral and maxillofacial sources. We hope the consensus may promote the standardization, and smartization on the biobank construction as well as the overall research level of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases in China.

Abstract
Embryo implantation and placentation play pivotal roles in pregnancy by facilitating crucial maternal-fetal interactions. These dynamic processes involve significant alterations in gene expression profiles within the endometrium and trophoblast lineages. Epigenetics regulatory mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodeling, and microRNA expression, act as regulatory switches to modulate gene activity, and have been implicated in establishing a successful pregnancy. Exploring the alterations in these epigenetic modifications can provide valuable insights for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting complications related to pregnancy. However, our current understanding of these mechanisms during key gestational stages remains incomplete. This review focuses on recent advancements in the study of histone modifications during embryo implantation and placentation, while also highlighting future research directions in this field.

Abstract
Decidualization, denoting the transformation of endometrial stromal cells into specialized decidual cells, is a prerequisite for normal embryo implantation and a successful pregnancy in human. Here, we demonstrated that knockout of Gαq lead to an aberrantly enhanced inflammatory state during decidualization. Furthermore, we showed that deficiency of Gαq resulted in over-activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling, due to the decreased expression of NFκBIA, which encode the IκB protein and is the negative regulator for NF-κB. Mechanistically, Gαq deficiency decreased the Protein kinase D (PKD, also called PKCμ) phosphorylation levels, leading to attenuated HDAC5 phosphorylation and thus its nuclear export. Aberrantly high level of nuclear HDAC5 retarded histone acetylation to inhibit the induced NFκBIA transcription during decidualization. Consistently, pharmacological activation of the PKD/PKCμ or inhibition of the HDAC5 restored the inflammatory state and proper decidual response. Finally, we disclosed that over-active inflammatory state in Gαq-deficient decidua deferred the blastocyst hatching and adhesion in vitro, and the decidual expression of Gαq was significantly lower in women with recurrent pregnancy loss compared with normal pregnancy. In brief, we showed here that Gαq as a key regulator of the inflammatory cytokine's expression and decidual homeostasis in response to differentiation cues, which is required for successful implantation and early pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Labetalol has an irreplaceable role in treating Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), a common disease during pregnancy with a prevalence of 5.2-8.2%. However, there were big differences in dosage regimens between various guidelines. PURPOSE A physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) model was established and validated to evaluate the existing oral dosage regimens, and to compare the difference in plasma concentration between pregnant and non-pregnant women. METHODS First, non-pregnant woman models with specific plasma clearance or enzymatic metabolism (UGT1A1, UGT2B7, CYP2C19) were established and validated. For CYP2C19, slow, intermediate, and rapid metabolic phenotypes were considered. Then, a pregnant model with proper structure and parameters adjustment was established and validated against the multiple oral administration data. RESULTS The predicted labetalol exposure captured the experimental data well. The following simulations with criteria lowering 15 mmHg blood pressure (corresponding to around 108 ng/ml plasma labetalol) found that the maximum daily dosage in the Chinese guideline may be insufficient for some severe HDP patients. Moreover, similar predicted steady-state trough plasma concentration was found between the maximum daily dosage in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guideline, 800 mg Q8h and a regimen of 200 mg Q6h. Simulations comparing non-pregnant and pregnant women found that the difference in labetalol exposure highly depended on the CYP2C19 metabolic phenotype. CONCLUSIONS In summary, this work initially established a PBPK model for multiple oral administration of labetalol for pregnant women. This PBPK model may lead to personalized labetalol medication in the future.

Abstract
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is a distressing pregnancy complication. While the etiology of RM remains unclear, growing evidence has indicated the relevance of trophoblast impairment to the pathogenesis of RM. PR-SET7 is the sole enzyme catalyzing monomethylation of H4K20 (H4K20me1) and has been implicated in many pathophysiological processes. However, how PR-SET7 functions in trophoblasts and its relevance to RM remain unknown. Here, we found that trophoblast-specific loss of Pr-set7 in mice led to defective trophoblasts, resulting in early embryonic loss. Mechanistic analysis revealed that PR-SET7 deficiency in trophoblasts derepressed endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), leading to double-stranded RNA stress and subsequent viral mimicry, which drove overwhelming interferon response and necroptosis. Further examination discovered that H4K20me1 and H4K20me3 mediated the inhibition of cell-intrinsic expression of ERVs. Importantly, dysregulation of PR-SET7 expression and the corresponding aberrant epigenetic modifications were observed in the placentas of RM. Collectively, our results demonstrate that PR-SET7 acts as an epigenetic transcriptional modulator essential for repressing ERVs in trophoblasts, ensuring normal pregnancy and fetal survival, which sheds new light on potential epigenetic causes contributing to RM.
