Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of salvia miltiorrhiza combined with roxadustat on wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic rats and its mechanism. Methods: This study was an experimental study. Twenty male 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used to successfully establish diabetic model, then full-thickness skin defect wounds on their backs were made. The rats were divided into normal saline group, roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group according to the random number table, with 5 rats in each group. Immediately after injury, the rats in normal saline group were given 5 mL normal saline by gavage, the rats in roxadustat alone group were given 1.5 mg/mL roxadustat suspension by gavage at 25 mg/kg, the rats in salvia miltiorrhiza alone group were given 18 mg/mL salvia miltiorrhiza suspension by gavage at 300 mg/kg, and the rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were given 19.5 mg/mL roxadustat and salvia miltiorrhiza suspension at roxadustat 25 mg/kg and salvia miltiorrhiza 300 mg/kg. All were administered once a day for 2 weeks. The wounds at 0 (immediately), 4, 8, and 12 d after injury were observed, and the wound healing rates at 4, 8, and 12 d after injury were calculated (n=5). At 14 d after injury, abdominal aortic blood was collected, and hemoglobin, red cell count, and white blood cell count were detected (n=5). The wound tissue was collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe inflammatory infiltration, skin tissue structure, and neovascularization, for Masson staining to observe the proportion of collagen fiber (n=3), for Western blotting to detect the protein expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD31, interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and IL-1β (n=3), and for immunohistochemical staining to determine the protein expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), with sample number of 3. Results: From 0 to 12 d after injury, the wound areas of rats in 4 groups were gradually decreased. At 4 d after injury, the wound healing rates of rats in salvia miltiorrhiza alone group and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly higher than those in normal saline group and roxadustat alone group (P<0.05). At 8 d after injury, the wound healing rates of rats in roxadustat alone group and salvia miltiorrhiza alone group were significantly higher than the rate in normal saline group (P<0.05), and the wound healing rate of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly higher than the rates in the other 3 groups (with P values all <0.05). At 12 d after injury, the wound healing rates of rats in roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly higher than the rate in normal saline group (P<0.05). At 14 d after injury, there were no statistically significant differences in the hemoglobin or red blood cell count of rats in 4 groups (P<0.05). The white blood cell count of rats in roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were respectively (24.3±1.2)×109/L, (26.3±2.4)×109/L, and (15.0±0.7)×109/L, which were significantly lower than (33.8±2.7)×109/L in normal saline group (P<0.05); the white blood cell count of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly lower than that in roxadustat alone group and salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (with P values both <0.05). At 14 d after injury, a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration, disordered skin tissue structure, and few new blood vessels were observed in the wounds of rats in normal saline group; while a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration, tight skin tissue structure, and rich neovascularization were observed in the wounds of rats in the other 3 groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of collagen fiber of wounds in rats among the 4 groups (P>0.05). At 14 d after injury, the protein expression levels of VEGF and CD31 in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly higher than those in normal saline group (P<0.05), the protein expression level of CD31 in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly higher than the levels in roxadustat alone group and salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (with P values both <0.05). At 14 d after injury, the protein expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly lower than those in normal saline group (P<0.05); the protein expression levels of IL-6 and IL-1β in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly lower than those in roxadustat alone group and salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (P<0.05); the protein expression level of TNF-α in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly lower than that in salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (P<0.05). At 14 d after injury, the protein expression level of EGFR in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly higher than the levels in the other 3 groups (with P values all <0.05); the protein expression levels of HIF-1α in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat alone group and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly higher than the level in normal saline group (P<0.05), and the protein expression level of HIF-1α in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly higher than that in salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (P<0.05); there were no statistically significant differences in the protein expression level of PCNA in the wound tissue of rats in 4 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: Roxadustat combined with salvia miltiorrhiza can promote the wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic rats by promoting blood vessel regeneration and reducing inflammatory response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the use of a modified laparoscopic repair of paraostomy hernia technique, called "D-Type parastomal hernia repair surgery" which combines abdominal wall and extraperitoneal stoma reconstruction, in patients with parastomal hernia (PSH) following colorectal stoma surgery. The aim was to determine whether D-type parastomal hernia repair surgery is a promising surgical approach compared to the traditional laparoscopic repair technique (Sugarbaker method) for patients with PSH. METHODS PSH patients were selected and retrospectively divided into two groups: the study group underwent D-type parastomal hernia repair, while the control group underwent laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair. Clinical data from both groups were analyzed. RESULT Compared to control group (n = 68), the study group undergoing D-type stoma lateral hernia repair had significant increase in total operative time (98.82 ± 12.37 min vs 124.61 ± 34.99 min, p < 0.001). The study group also showed better postoperative stoma bowel function scores in sensory ability, frequency of bowel movements, and clothing cleanliness without a stoma bag (p = 0.037, 0.001, 0.002). The treatment cost was significantly higher in the control group (3899.97 ± 260.00$ vs 3215.91 ± 230.03$, p < 0.001). The postoperative recurrence rate in the control group was 26.4%, while in the study group, it was 4.3%, with a significant statistical difference (p = 0.024). In terms of long-term postoperative complications, the study group had an overall lower incidence compared to the control group (p = 0.035). Other parameters showed no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION The study suggests that D-type parastomal hernia repair surgery is a safe and feasible procedure. Compared to traditional surgery, it can reduce the recurrence of lateral hernia, improve postoperative stoma bowel function, and save medical resources.

Abstract
The thin flyer is a small-scale flying object, which is well known as the core functional element of the initiator. Understanding how flyers perform has been a long-standing issue in detonator science. However, it remains a significant challenge to explore how the flyer is formed and functions in the barrel of the initiator via tabletop devices. In this study, we present dynamic and unprecedented images of flyer in barrel via high intensity short-pulse laser. Advanced radiography, coupled with a high-intensity picosecond laser X-ray source, has enabled the provision of state-of-the-art radiographs in a single-shot experiment for observing micron-scale flyer formation in a hollow cylinder in nanoseconds. The flyer was clearly visible in the barrel and was accelerated and restricted differently from that without the barrel. This first implementation of a tabletop X-ray source provided a new approach for capturing dynamic photographs of small-scale flying objects, which were previously reported to be accessible only via an X-ray phase-contrast imaging system at the advanced photon source. These efforts have led to a significant improvement of radiographic capability and a greater understanding of the mechanisms of "burst" of exploding foil initiators for this application.

Abstract
Micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) are emerging pollutants that can adsorb pollutants in the environment and biological molecules and ultimately affect human health. However, the aspects of adsorption of intracellular proteins onto MNPs and its biological effects in cells have not been investigated to date. The present study revealed that 100 nm polystyrene nanoplastics (NPs) could be internalized by THP-1 cells and specifically adsorbed intracellular proteins. In total, 773 proteins adsorbed onto NPs with high reliability were identified using the proteomics approach and analyzed via bioinformatics to predict the route and distribution of NPs following cellular internalization. The representative proteins identified via the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis were further investigated to characterize protein adsorption onto NPs and its biological effects. The analysis revealed that NPs affect glycolysis through pyruvate kinase M (PKM) adsorption, trigger the unfolded protein response through the adsorption of ribophorin 1 (RPN1) and heat shock 70 protein 8 (HSPA8), and are chiefly internalized into cells through clathrin-mediated endocytosis with concomitant clathrin heavy chain (CLTC) adsorption. Therefore, this work provides new insights and research strategies for the study of the biological effects caused by NPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis, which is mainly caused by the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) in tissues. Transcriptomics was used to explore the pathogenesis and treatment of gout in our work. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to analyze and validate potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers in THP-1 cells that were exposed to MSU. METHODS THP-1 cells were exposed to MSU. The inflammatory effect was characterized, and RNA-Seq analysis was then carried out. The differential genes obtained by RNA-Seq were analyzed with gene expression omnibus (GEO) series 160170 (GSE160170) gout-related clinical samples in the GEO database and gout-related genes in the GeneCards database. From the three analysis approaches, the genes with significant differences were verified by the differential genes' transcription levels. The interaction relationship of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) was proposed by ceRNA network analysis. RESULTS MSU significantly promoted the release of IL-1β and IL-18 in THP-1 cells, which aggravated their inflammatory effect. Through RNA-Seq, 698 differential genes were obtained, including 606 differential mRNA and 92 differential `LncRNA. Cross-analysis of the RNA-Seq differential genes, the GSE160170 differential genes, and the gout-related genes in GeneCards revealed a total of 17 genes coexisting in the tripartite data. Furthermore, seven differential genes-C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CXCL2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), C-C motif chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3), suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), oncostatin M (OSM), and MIR22 host gene (MIR22HG)-were verified as key genes that analyzed the weight of genes in pathways, the enrichment of inflammationrelated pathways, and protein-protein interaction (PPI)nodes combined with the expression of genes in RNA-Seq and GSE160170. It is suggested that MIR22HG may regulate OSM and SOCS3 through microRNA 4271 (miR-4271), OSM, and SOCS3m; CCL3 through microRNA 149-3p (miR-149-3p); and CXCL2 through microRNA 4652-3p (miR-4652-3p). CONCLUSION The potential of CXCL8, CXCL2, TNF, CCL3, SOCS3, and OSM as gout biomarkers and MIR22HG as a therapeutic target for gout are proposed, which provide new insights into the mechanisms of gout biomarkers and therapeutic methods.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To mitigate tumor displacement caused by respiratory movement and to enhance positioning accuracy in liver cancer patients during radiotherapy, abdominal compression fixation devices are commonly employed. However, the efficacy of using surface guided radiotherapy (SGRT) to further improve patient setup accuracy in combination with abdominal compression has not been fully established. Hence, we aimed to investigate this in our study. MATERIALS/METHODS In this study, we analyzed data from 11 patients with liver cancer. The patients were positioned using isocentric skin markers and the abdominal compression fixture was placed on an accurate scale reading based on the records from CT simulation. A cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan was performed to assess setup errors. These setup errors represent data for the control group - Skin marker group. The patients were then adjusted to the correct treatment position based on CBCT correction and the SGRT system was activated for monitoring. Care was taken for the region of interest drawn to avoid the abdominal compression device for all patients. The reference surface used for monitoring was the captured VRT surface rather than DICOM. The six degrees of freedom values detected by the SGRT system were recorded, representing data for the test group - SGRT group. Both sets of data were analyzed using statistical software. The errors were presented as median (interquartile range) and the differences between the two groups were tested using paired Wilcoxon rank sum test, with P < 0.05 considered as significant. RESULTS A total of 60 CBCT images were analyzed, the median values and interquartile ranges are presented in the Table. The results showed that the accuracy of the SGRT group in the x and y directions was significantly better than the skin marker group (P < 0.05). The median values for the x (transverse) direction were 0.25(0.09-0.43) cm and 0.09(0.05-0.19) cm for the skin marker and SGRT groups, respectively. The median values for the y (longitudinal) direction were 0.54 (0.29-0.79) cm and 0.14 (0.07-0.24) cm for the skin marker and SGRT groups, respectively. The results for the z (vertical) direction, Rz (rotation), Ry (roll) and Rx (pitch) rotation directions were also analyzed similarly. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that compared to skin markers, SGRT can improve the accuracy of patient positioning in liver cancer radiotherapy with abdominal compression, potentially reducing unnecessary radiation exposure from CBCT imaging due to inaccurate positioning. Further multicenter prospective clinical trials are required to confirm these results.

Abstract
The two most commonly used airway management techniques during general anaesthesia are supraglottic airway devices and tracheal tubes. In older patients undergoing elective non-cardiothoracic surgery under general anaesthesia with positive pressure ventilation, we hypothesised that a composite measure of in-hospital postoperative pulmonary complications would be less frequent when a supraglottic airway device was used compared with a tracheal tube. We studied patients aged ≥ 70 years in 17 clinical centres. Patients were allocated randomly to airway management with a supraglottic airway device or a tracheal tube. Between August 2016 and April 2020, 2900 patients were studied, of whom 2751 were included in the primary analysis (1387 with supraglottic airway device and 1364 with a tracheal tube). Pre-operatively, 2431 (88.4%) patients were estimated to have a postoperative pulmonary complication risk index of 1-2. Postoperative pulmonary complications, mostly coughing, occurred in 270 of 1387 patients (19.5%) allocated to a supraglottic airway device and 342 of 1364 patients (25.1%) assigned to a tracheal tube (absolute difference -5.6% (95%CI -8.7 to -2.5), risk ratio 0.78 (95%CI 0.67-0.89); p < 0.001). Among otherwise healthy older patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia with intra-operative positive pressure ventilation of their lungs, there were fewer postoperative pulmonary complications when the airway was managed with a supraglottic airway device compared with a tracheal tube.

Abstract
Oncogene E6 plays a critical role in the development and progression of esophageal cancer caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a key metabolite in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and has been widely used as a dietary and anti-ageing supplement. In this study, we found that treating esophageal squamous carcinoma cells with a high dose of AKG can induce cell pyroptosis. Furthermore, our research confirms that HPV18 E6 inhibits AKG-induced pyroptosis of esophageal squamous carcinoma cells by lowering P53 expression. P53 downregulates malate dehydrogenase 1 (MDH1) expression; however, MDH1 downregulates L-2HG expression, which inhibits a rise in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels-as L-2HG is responsible for excessive ROS. This study reveals the actuating mechanism behind cell pyroptosis of esophageal squamous carcinoma cells induced by high concentrations of AKG, and we posit the molecular pathway via which the HPV E6 oncoprotein inhibits cell pyroptosis.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the main causes of esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), and its carcinogenic mechanisms in ESCA require further investigation. E6 and E7 are HPV oncogenes, and their genomic integration is a crucial reason for the transformation of host cells into cancer cells. In order to reveal the role of oncogenes E6 and E7 in ESCA cells, the RNA-Seq raw data for HPV18-positive and -negative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) samples derived from the NCBI BioProject database were analyzed, and the differentially expressed genes were identified. Moreover, differentially expressed genes were enriched significantly in multiple cell death pathways, including apoptosis (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A, plakophilin 1 and desmoglein 3), pyroptosis (gasdermin A, gasdermin C, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3, absent in melanoma 2, NLR family pyrin domain containing 1 and Toll like receptor 1) and autophagy (Unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1, adrenoceptor beta 2). Consequently, the effects of cisplatin-induced apoptosis and Hank's balanced salt solution-induced autophagy, and α-ketoglutarate-induced pyroptosis in the ESCC-expressing E6 and E7 cells were verified. Therefore, the expression of E6E7 may culminate in the inhibition of multiple cell death modes, which may also be one of the mechanisms of oncogene-induced carcinogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although esophageal carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common cancers in the world, details of its pathogenesis remain unclear. Metabolic reprogramming is a main feature of EC. Mitochondrial dysfunction, especially the decrease in mitochondrial complex I (MTCI), plays an important role in the occurrence and development of EC. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to analyze and validate the metabolic abnormalities and the role of MTCI in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS In this work, we collected transcriptomic data from 160 esophageal squamous carcinoma samples and 11 normal tissue samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The OmicsBean and GEPIA2 were used to conduct an analysis of differential gene expression and survival in clinical samples. Rotenone was used to inhibit the MTCI activity. Subsequently, we detected lactate production, glucose uptake, and ATP production. RESULTS A total of 1710 genes were identified as being significantly differentially expressed. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis suggested that these differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched in various pathways related to carcinoma tumorigenesis and progression. Moreover, we further identified abnormalities in metabolic pathways, in particular, the significantly low expression of multiple subunits of MTCI genes (ND1, ND2, ND3, ND4, ND4L, ND5, and ND6). Rotenone was used to inhibit the MTCI activity of EC109 cells, and it was found that the decrease in MTCI activity promoted HIF1A expression, glucose consumption, lactate production, ATP production, and cell migration. CONCLUSION Our results indicated the occurrence of abnormal metabolism involving decreased mitochondrial complex I activity and increased glycolysis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which might be related to its development and degree of malignancy.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) combined with autologous Meek microskin transplantation on patients with extensive burns. Methods: The prospective self-controlled study was conducted. From May 2019 to June 2022, 16 patients with extensive burns admitted to the 990th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force met the inclusion criteria, while 3 patients were excluded according to the exclusion criteria, and 13 patients were finally selected, including 10 males and 3 females, aged 24-61 (42±13) years. A total of 20 trial areas (40 wounds, with area of 10 cm×10 cm in each wound) were selected. Two adjacent wounds in each trial area were divided into hUCMSC+gel group applied with hyaluronic acid gel containing hUCMSCs and gel only group applied with hyaluronic acid gel only according to the random number table, with 20 wounds in each group. Afterwards the wounds in two groups were transplanted with autologous Meek microskin grafts with an extension ratio of 1∶6. In 2, 3, and 4 weeks post operation, the wound healing was observed, the wound healing rate was calculated, and the wound healing time was recorded. The specimen of wound secretion was collected for microorganism culture if there was purulent secretion on the wound post operation. In 3, 6, and 12 months post operation, the scar hyperplasia in wound was assessed using the Vancouver scar scale (VSS). In 3 months post operation, the wound tissue was collected for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining to observe the morphological changes and for immunohistochemical staining to observe the positive expressions of Ki67 and vimentin and to count the number of positive cells. Data were statistically analyzed with paired samples t test and Bonferronni correction. Results: In 2, 3, and 4 weeks post operation, the wound healing rates in hUCMSC+gel group were (80±11)%, (84±12)%, and (92±9)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (67±18)%, (74±21)%, and (84±16)% in gel only group (with t values of 4.01, 3.52, and 3.66, respectively, P<0.05). The wound healing time in hUCMSC+gel group was (31±11) d, which was significantly shorter than (36±13) d in gel only group (t=-3.68, P<0.05). The microbiological culture of the postoperative wound secretion specimens from the adjacent wounds in 2 groups was identical, with negative results in 4 trial areas and positive results in 16 trial areas. In 3, 6, and 12 months post operation, the VSS scores of wounds in gel only group were 7.8±1.9, 6.7±2.1, and 5.4±1.6, which were significantly higher than 6.8±1.8, 5.6±1.6, and 4.0±1.4 in hUCMSC+gel group, respectively (with t values of -4.79, -4.37, and -5.47, respectively, P<0.05). In 3 months post operation, HE staining showed an increase in epidermal layer thickness and epidermal crest in wound in hUCMSC+gel group compared with those in gel only group, and immunohistochemical staining showed a significant increase in the number of Ki67 positive cells in wound in hUCMSC+gel group compared with those in gel only group (t=4.39, P<0.05), with no statistically significant difference in the number of vimentin positive cells in wound between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: The application of hyaluronic acid gel containing hUCMSCs to the wound is simple to perform and is therefore a preferable route. Topical application of hUCMSCs can promote healing of the autologous Meek microskin grafted area in patients with extensive burns, shorten wound healing time, and alleviate scar hyperplasia. The above effects may be related to the increased epidermal thickness and epidermal crest, and active cell proliferation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess whether objectively measured hearing loss and self-perceived hearing handicap in adults are independently associated with food insecurity, and vice versa. DESIGN Cross-sectional population-based study. POPULATION 2,500 participants aged 50+ years from the Blue Mountains Hearing Study, with both complete pure-tone audiometry data and information on food security status. MEASUREMENTS The pure-tone average of frequencies 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kHz (PTA0.5-4KHz) >25 dB HL in the better ear, established the presence of hearing loss. Self-perceived hearing handicap was assessed by administering the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Elderly Screening (HHIE-S total scores of ≥8 indicates hearing handicap). A 12-item food security survey was administered, comprising statements related to individual and household food situations. RESULTS Food insecurity was reported by 12.8% of study participants. After adjusting for all potential confounders, any self-perceived hearing handicap significantly increased the likelihood of participants reporting food insecurity by 94% (p<0.0001). Participants reporting any, mild or severe self-perceived hearing handicap had around 2-fold greater odds of experiencing food insecurity. Objectively measured hearing loss did not significantly influence the food security status of study participants. Conversely, food insecurity was significantly associated with both objectively measured hearing loss and self-perceived hearing handicap: multivariate-adjusted OR 1.37 (95% CI 1.01-1.88) and OR 1.83 (95% CI 1.40-2.39), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Food insecurity was an important social determinant of hearing health among community-dwelling adults. Conversely, participants with a significant self-perceived hearing handicap were more likely to experience food insecurity. These findings add to our understanding of the substantial public health impact of both food insecurity and hearing loss and may highlight areas for future intervention.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a survival prediction model based on the independent prognostic factors of long-term prognosis after laparoscopic liver resection(LLR) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC). Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 351 consecutive patients with ICC who received radical LLR in 13 Chinese medical centers from August 2010 to May 2021 were collected retrospectively. There were 190 males and 161 females,aged(M(IQR)) 61(14)years(range:23 to 93 years). The total cohort was randomly divided into a training dataset(264 cases) and a validation dataset(87 cases). The patients were followed up by outpatient service or telephone,and the deadline for follow-up was October 2021. Based on the training dataset,the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to screen the independent influencing factors of long-term prognosis to construct a Nomogram model. The Nomogram model's discrimination,calibration,and clinical benefit were evaluated through internal and external validation,and an assessment of the overall value of two groups was made through the use of a receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve. Results: There was no significant difference in clinical and pathological characteristics and long-term survival results between the training and validation datasets(all P>0.05). The multivariate Cox analysis showed that CA19-9,CA125,conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic surgery,and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for ICC patients after LLR(all P<0.05). The survival Nomogram was established based on the independent prognostic factors obtained from the above screening. The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of 1, 3 and 5-year overall survival rates of patients in the training dataset were 0.794(95%CI:0.721 to 0.867),0.728(95%CI:0.618 to 0.839) and 0.799(95%CI:0.670 to 0.928),and those in the validation dataset were 0.787(95%CI:0.660 to 0.915),0.831(95%CI:0.678 to 0.983) and 0.810(95%CI:0.639 to 0.982). Internal and external validation proved that the model exhibited a certain discrimination,calibration,and clinical applicability. Conclusion: The survival Nomogram model based on the independent influencing factors of long-term prognosis after LLR for ICC(including CA19-9,CA125,conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic surgery,and lymph node metastasis) exhibites a certain differentiation,calibration,and clinical practicability.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the species, distribution, and extent of drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in patients with liver cirrhosis combined with bacterial infection in a tertiary hospital in Xinjiang. Methods: 1 271 cases with liver cirrhosis combined with infection were analyzed retrospectively for pathogenic bacterial species and drug resistance condition in different bacterial strain. Results: Among the 1 271 cases with liver cirrhosis, 480 were combined with infection, and the infection rate was 37.8%. The majority of infected patients had decompensated cirrhosis (438 cases). Peritoneum (327 cases, 60.8%) was the common infection site, followed by lungs (16.9%). 343 strains of pathogens were isolated from 480 infected cases, of which 289 strains were among the top 10 common distinct bacteria, accounting for 76.5% and 23.5% of Gram-negative and positive bacteria. The first top three strains were Escherichia coli. (33.2%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (11.4%), and Enterococcus faecium (11.1%), and there were differences in the drug resistance rates of each strain. Conclusion: In a tertiary hospital in Xinjiang, patients with decompensated cirrhosis have a high rate of bacterial infection. The pathogenic bacteria are diverse, mainly Gram-negative bacteria; however, the infection rate of Gram-positive bacteria such as Enterococcus is gradually increasing. Additionally, according to the bacterial properties, they are divided into four categories: Enterobacter, Enterococcus, glucose non-fermenting bacteria and Staphylococcus, and it is found that even the same species of bacteria have different drug resistance rates.

Abstract
Objective: To construct the geometric model of the pelvic floor by a two-dimensional equivalent mechanics method, and to explore the effect of the shape and position of pelvic floor organs and tissues on the biomechanical properties of the pelvic floor under different abdominal pressure. Methods: A 28-year-old healthy and symmetrical married infertile female volunteer was included. The pelvic floor tissue was scanned in the supine position using a 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner (Philips Company, Holland). Based on the method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) two-dimensional parameter measurement and computer aided design, the geometric model and finite element model of the female pelvic floor were established, and the biomechanical characteristics of the pelvic floor support system under different abdominal pressure were analyzed. Results: In this study, four different working conditions of the pelvic floor force were simulated under 60, 99, 168, and 208 cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa) abdominal pressure loads. The trend was as follows: under the abdominal pressure load, the retrograde flexion of the uterus occurred, the cervical, the middle and upper vaginal segment and the levator anus muscle had the characteristic change of mechanical axial direction pointing to the sacrum and coccyx, and the deformation of the levator anus muscle in the horizontal direction was greater than that in the vertical direction. With the increase of the abdominal pressure, the maximum stress values of the pelvic floor whole system of healthy subjects under four different working conditions were 0.194 3, 0.389 6, 0.557 1, and 0.627 5 MPa, respectively, and the maximum displacement values were 10, 14, 21 and 25 mm, respectively. The maximum stress values of the cervical and vaginal middle and upper segment were 0.111 7, 0.161 8, 0.250 6, and 0.304 1 MPa, respectively, and the maximum displacement values were 3, 6, 9, and 11 mm, respectively. The maximum stress of the perineal body was 0.063 4, 0.119 6, 0.235 2, and 0.288 0 MPa, and the maximum displacement was 1, 2, 4, and 5 mm. The maximum stress values of the levator anus muscle were 0.194 3, 0.389 6, 0.557 1, and 0.627 5 MPa, and the maximum displacement values were 2, 4, 7, and 8 mm, respectively. The maximum stress and maximum displacement of pelvic organs increased with the increase of the abdominal pressure under different working conditions. The stress axial relationship of normal female pelvic floor was that the middle and upper segment of uterus and vagina mainly acted on the sacrococcyx and the levator anus muscle, and the lower vaginal segment acts on the perineal body. Conclusions: The two-dimensional equivalent mechanical modeling and finite element analysis of the female pelvic floor system can accurately reflect the biomechanical characteristics of the female pelvic floor, and the resultant stress direction of the pelvic organs points to the sacrum and coccyx. The sacrum and coccyx, levator anus and perineal body play important stress supporting roles in the pelvic floor system.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application values of right atrial (RA) volume, myocardial strain and strain rate in evaluating right atrial functions in patients with essential hypertension (EHT) with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods: We retrospectively collected a total of 126 EHT patients with normal LVEF, including 66 males and 60 females, age from 18 to 83(48±15) years from the Affiliated Changzhou No.2 People's Hospital with Nanjing Medical University from March, 2018 to May, 2020. According to the left ventricular mass index, those patients were divided into without left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH) group (n=66) and LVH group (n=60), and 83 healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group, which including 42 males and 41 females, age from 14 to 88 (48±16) years. The total, passive and active RA emptying fraction (total RAEF, passive RAEF and active RAEF) were measured by using RA volumes method. The RA strain (S-reservoir, S-conduit, S-booster pump) and the strain rate (SR-reservoir, SR-conduit, SR-booster pump) were measured by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. Total RAEF, S-reservoir, and Sr-reservoir represented the reservoir function, while passive RAEF, S-conduit, and Sr-conduit represented the conduit function, and active RAEF, S-booster pump and Sr-booster pump represented the booster pump function, respectively. Than the values between the EHT patients and normal subjects, and the values among the EHT patients without LVH, EHT patients without LVH and normal subjects were compared. Results: The value of active RAEF was significantly lower in EHT patient than normal controls (40.1%±10.5% vs 45.4%±11.1%,P=0.001). There were significant differences among EHT patients without LVH, EHT patients with LVH and normal subjects in passive RAEF and active RAEF (passive RAEF: 40.2%±9.3% vs 36.4%±10.7% vs 36.5%±9.4%, P=0.038, active RAEF: 39.8%±10.6% vs 40.4%±10.4% vs 45.4%±11.1%, P=0.002). There were significant differences in S-reservoir, S-conduit, S-booster pump, SR-reservoir, SR-conduit and SR-booster pump between EHT patients and normal subjects [S-reservoir: 34.8%±13.7% vs 45.0%±13.3%, S-conduit: 18.3%±9.4% vs 26.5%±9.6%, S-booster pump: 16.4%±7.3% vs 18.6%±7.1%, SR-reservoir: (1.6±0.6)/s vs (2.0±0.6)/s, SR-conduit: (-1.2±0.5)/s vs (-1.6±0.6)/s, SR-booster pump: (-1.7±0.6)/s vs (-2.3±0.6)/s; all P<0.05]. The trend tests showed normal controls achieved the largest the absolute values of S-reservoir, S-conduit, SR-reservoir, SR-conduit, SR-booster pump, followed by EHT patients without LVH and EHT patients with LVH(all P<0.001). Conclusions: Using RA volume, myocardial strain and strain rate can detect the RA impaired reservoir, conduit, and the booster pump functions in EHT patients with normal LVEF, and the RA functions were damaged more significantly in EHT patients with LVH.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease of the intestinal epithelium and ranks the third largest diagnosed malignancy in the world. Many studies have shown that the high risk of CRC is believed to be related to the formation of biofilms. To prove causation, it will be significant to decipher which specific bacteria in biofilms initiate and maintain CRC and fully describe their underlying mechanisms. Here we introduce a bacterial driver-passenger model. This model added a novel and compelling angle to the role of microorganisms, putting more emphasis on the transformation of bacterial composition in biofilms which play different roles in the development of CRC. In this model, bacterial drivers can initiate the formation of CRC through genotoxicity, while bacterial passengers maintain the CRC process through metabolites. On the basis of these pathogens, we further turned our attention to strategies that can inhibit and eradicate these pathogenic biofilms, with the aim of finding new ways to hinder colorectal carcinogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with early American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)-stage melanoma the combined loss of the autophagy regulatory protein AMBRA1 and the terminal differentiation marker loricrin in the peritumoral epidermis is associated with a significantly increased risk of metastasis. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential contribution of melanoma paracrine transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signalling to the loss of AMBRA1 in the epidermis overlying the primary tumour and disruption of epidermal integrity. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was used to analyse AMBRA1 and TGF-β2 in a cohort of 109 AJCC all-stage melanomas, and TGF-β2 and claudin-1 in a cohort of 30 or 42 AJCC stage I melanomas, respectively, with known AMBRA1 and loricrin (AMLo) expression. Evidence of pre-ulceration was analysed in a cohort of 42 melanomas, with TGF-β2 signalling evaluated in primary keratinocytes. RESULTS Increased tumoral TGF-β2 was significantly associated with loss of peritumoral AMBRA1 (P < 0·05), ulceration (P < 0·001), AMLo high-risk status (P < 0·05) and metastasis (P < 0·01). TGF-β2 treatment of keratinocytes resulted in downregulation of AMBRA1, loricrin and claudin-1, while knockdown of AMBRA1 was associated with decreased expression of claudin-1 and increased proliferation of keratinocytes (P < 0·05). Importantly, we show loss of AMBRA1 in the peritumoral epidermis was associated with decreased claudin-1 expression (P < 0·05), parakeratosis (P < 0·01) and cleft formation in the dermoepidermal junction (P < 0·05). CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these data suggest a paracrine mechanism whereby TGF-β2 causes loss of AMBRA1 overlying high-risk AJCC early-stage melanomas and reduced epidermal integrity, thereby facilitating erosion of the epidermis and tumour ulceration.

Abstract
Suboptimal diet is one of the most important controllable risk factors for non-communicable diseases. However, randomized controlled trials make it difficult to quantify the causal association between specific dietary factors and health outcomes. In recent years, the rapid development of causal inference has provided a robust theoretical and methodological tool for making full use of observational research data and producing high-quality nutritional epidemiologic research evidence. The causal graph model visualizes the complex causal relationship system by integrating a large amount of prior knowledge and provides a basic framework for identifying confounding and determining causal effect estimation strategies. Different analysis strategies such as adjusting confounders, instrumental variables, or mediation analysis can be created based on other causal graphs. This paper introduces the idea of the causal graph model and the characteristics of various analysis strategies and their application in nutritional epidemiology research, aiming to promote the application of the causal graph model in nutrition and provide references and suggestions for the follow-up research.

Abstract
Oesophageal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the world. Oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most prevalent histological type of oesophageal cancer. Oesophageal cancer has a poor prognosis because of its invasiveness. Thus, it is especially important to seek effective treatment methods. Research indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in the occurrence and development of oesophageal cancer. The aim of this study was to describe the role of LINC00958 in ESCC. Bioinformatics and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) methods were utilized to predict and verify the expression of LINC00958 in ESCC. Related functional experiments, including cell proliferation, migration and invasion, were performed. In addition, a western blot and a dual luciferase reporter gene experiment were used to study the detailed carcinogenic mechanism of LINC00958. The results indicated there was a high expression of LINC00958 in ESCC, which promoted proliferation, migration, invasion and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) of ESCC cells, and this effect may be via regulating miR-510-5p.

Abstract
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most destructive diseases of rice worldwide. The identification and utilization of resistance genes are crucial and significant for breeding resistant rice cultivars. We identified a resistance gene from Shuangkang77009, which is highly resistant to the rice blast isolate Guy11 using map-based cloning. We performed bulked segregant analysis combined with specific length amplified fragment sequencing. We also performed association analysis, candidate gene prediction and cDNA sequencing to identify the candidate gene. The resistance gene is located on chromosome 6, and we ultimately mapped the resistance locus to a 92-kb region. The resistance gene in Shuangkang77009 was allelic to PigmR, hereafter referred to as Pigm-1. The Pigm-1 protein had one amino acid change: serine (Ser) residue 860 was replaced by tyrosine (Tyr) in Pigm-1 compared with the previously identified Pigm protein, which significantly changed the structure of the Pigm-1 protein based on 3-D structure simulation. In addition, using the developed molecular marker linked to the Pigm-1 gene and molecular marker-assisted selection technology, we introduced the Pigm-1 gene into Minghui86, a widely used and excellent restorer. We generated 11 stable homozygous rice lines with desirable agronomic traits and strong resistance to rice blast. In conclusion, Pigm-1, a natural allelic variant of PigmR, was responsible for blast resistance in Shuangkang77009 rice. The molecular marker-assisted breeding strategy for Pigm-1 was highly efficient.

Abstract
Background Isolated methylmalonic acidemia refers to a group of inborn errors of metabolism characterized by elevated methylmalonic acid concentrations in the blood and urine. It occurs in approximately one to three out of every 100 thousand Chinese newborns. Mutations in the MMAA gene cause isolated methylmalonic acidemia. Case presentation A 13-month-old boy was diagnosed with isolated methylmalonic acidemia. We identified two mutations in the MMAA gene in this case: c.491G>A and c.650T>A. The c.491G>A is a novel mutation in the MMAA gene. The boy is a heterozygous carrier of both mutations. The boy was treated with intravenous sodium benzoate and fluids. His sensorium gradually improved and he recovered from the acute illness. Other family members are heterozygous carriers of either mutations but with no symptoms. Conclusions We identified a novel c.491G>A mutation in the MMAA gene. Heterozygous carriers of both c.491G>A and c.650T>A mutations are associated with isolated methylmalonic acidemia.

Abstract
Three kinds of Al flyer plates with different nanostructured absorption layers were in situ prepared by a direct laser writing technology to improve the energy conversion efficiency in a laser-driven flyer assembly. Microstructures, light absorption, and flyer velocity in the acceleration chamber were investigated. The reflectance for the flyers at 1064-nm wavelength can be reduced from 81.3 to 9.8% by the nanostructured absorption layer. The terminal velocity of a 50-μm-thick Al flyer irradiated by a 60-mJ laser pulse is 831 m/s, while the velocity of the flyer with an in situ-fabricated nano-absorption layer reaches up to 1113 m/s at the same condition. Resultantly, the energy conversion efficiency of the flyer with a nanostructure absorption layer can reach as high as 1.99 times that of the Al flyer. Therefore, the nanostructured absorption layer in situ prepared on the surface of a flyer provides a new method to significantly improve the energy conversion efficiency of a laser-driven flyer.

Abstract
Background Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumours in humans. A series of esophageal cancer cell lines are accompanied by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, but the mechanism behind HPV in cancer malignancy is not clear. Methods This research was conducted in different generations of HPV E6E7 gene-induced human foetal esophageal epithelial immortalised cells (Shantou Human Embryonic Esophageal Epithelial cell line; SHEE); the RNA sequencing transcriptomic analysis was performed to explore the mechanism of HPV infection in these cell lines. Results The results showed that there are 9,990 differential genes in late-stage cells compared with HPV18 E6E7-infected early foetal esophageal epithelial immortalised cells. Among these, 4,882 genes are upregulated, and 5,108 genes are downregulated. We used bioinformatics to analyze the expression and function of aberrantly expressed lncRNA, miRNA, mRNA and construct the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and protein protein interaction (PPI) network. Conclusions we predicted TP53TG1 promotes to malignant transformation of SHEEs by acting as a ceRNA to competitively bind to miR-6835 and regulate IGF2 expression. We also predicted IL6 serve as prognostic biomarkers and therapy target. With these results maybe provides new insights into the mechanisms of HPV carcinogenesis in esophageal cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A new perspective of determining the pathophysiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) development is required. The current study explores the aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA. The study further constructs and analyses the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network to elucidate their gene regulation roles in SLE. METHOD We extracted mRNA, lncRNA and miRNA from the whole venous blood of 20 SLE patients and 20 normal control (NC) healthy individuals. A lncRNA-mRNA-miRNA network in SLE was constructed using a bioinformatics approach. Subsequently, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were performed using the Cytoscape plug-in BinGo, the DAVID database and Cytoscape software to explore the function of mRNAs in this network. RESULT A total of 855 mRNA, 7311 lncRNA and 134 miRNA with differentially expressed profiles were identified. Meanwhile, we established a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) subnetwork composed of 52 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), seven differentially expressed miRNAs and 10 differentially expressed mRNAs. We extracted the subnetwork from the ceRNA network and found that three novel miRNAs were key: hsa-miR-145, hsa-miR-17 and hsa-miR-143. We also deduced that the DElncRNAs MIAT and NEAT1 might play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of SLE. The results were verified by bioinformatics analysis. CONCLUSION Our results provide a novel perspective for studying lncRNA-related and miRNA-related ceRNA networks in SLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-coding small RNAs are involved in organism development, and their aberrant regulation induces various diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but their exact mechanisms have not been determined. OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the role of miR-142-3p on HMGB1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS Expression levels of miR-142-3p in HCC tissues and cultured cells were measured by RT-PCR. The invasion and metastasis abilities of HepG2 cells according to Transwell migration and invasion assays, and protein expression was measured by western blotting. RESULTS The present study reported that miR-142-3p promotes the invasion and migration of HCC cells. miR-142-3p levels are lower in HCC tissues than in adjacent non-cancerous tissues, suggesting a tumor suppressor role for miR-142-3p. Highmobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is an oncogene that promotes the metastasis of HCC. miR-142-3p or HMGB1 knockdown alone inhibits the invasion and migration of HCC cells, and HMGB1 overexpression impedes the effect of miR-142-3p. Further studies showed that HMGB1 is a direct target gene of miR-142-3p in HCC. miR-142-3p represses HMGB1 gene transcription by directly binding to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of HMGB1, thereby inhibiting cancer cell invasion and migration. CONCLUSION This study, for the first time, reports that miR-142-3p is a novel tumor suppressor that inhibits the invasion and migration of HCC cells by directly regulating gene transcription of HMGB1. Thus, miR-142-3p may be a potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for HCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Entire deletion of the azoospermia factor a (AZFa) region commonly results in non-obstructive-azoospermia (NOA). Although sY84 and sY86 are recommended as the first choice of sequence-tagged sites (STSs) primers in AZFa region, and their deletions suggest a very high probability of complete deletion of AZFa, extension analysis is now compulsory to identify the deletion pattern. OBJECTIVES We aim to verify that extension analysis is relevant in assessing the deletion pattern of AZF by reporting a family in which two normal fertile men were confirmed to have a deletion of sY84 and sY86. MATERIALS AND METHODS According to the EAA/EMQN recommendation, AZF evaluation was detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with six STSs, and extension analysis was performed to identify the deletion pattern due to the deletions of sY84 and sY86. And the further exploration was conducted to map the breakpoints of deleted DNA fragment. RESULTS Deletion of sY84 and sY86 was found in the case with coinstantaneous normal semen analysis. An identically partial deletion pattern of AZFa region with the absence of an hg38Y fragment (12470437~12690385, 219949 bp in total) was found in both the case and his father, which includes three pseudogenes and one non-coding-RNA gene. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The extension analysis has permitted the diagnosis of a partial AZFa deletion and confirmed the importance of the extension analysis in order to provide a more accurate prediction for the testis phenotype.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most malignant tumors with poor prognosis, and the interaction between activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) and PDAC cells plays an important role in the development of PDAC. The aim of this study was to identify gene changes in BXPC-3 after cross-talk with PSCs and reveal their potential mechanisms. The gene expression profiling analysis of BXPC-3 was completed after co-culture with primary PSCs for 48 h. The gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by Agilent GeneSpring GX software. In total, 3657 DEGs were identified in BXPC-3, including 1881 up-regulated genes and 1776 downregulated genes. GO analysis results showed that upregulated DEGs were significantly enriched in biological processes (BP), including peptide metabolic process, response to stress and electron transport chain; the downregulated DEGs were significantly enriched in biological processes, including signaling, multicellular organism development and anatomical structure development. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 19 pathways were upregulated and 32 pathways were downregulated, and that upregulated DEGs were enriched in protein export and glutathione metabolism, while the downregulated DEGs were enriched in axon guidance and focal adhesion. The top 10 upregulated genes and the top 10 downregulated genes were identified. By constructing PPI network, we selected out 10 key genes (TP53, SRC, IL6, JUN, ISG15, CAD, STAT1, OAS3, OAS1, VIM) and significant pathways. The associated survival analysis was performed and the SRC, IL-6, ISG15, STAT1, OAS3, OAS1 and VIM were proved to be related to worse overall survival time of PDAC patients. In conclusion, the present study indicated that the identified DEGs promote our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between pancreatic cancer cells and PSCs and might be used as molecular targets in the future to study the role of tumor microenvironment in the progression of PDAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The updated American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging criteria for melanoma remain unable to identify high-risk stage I tumour subsets. OBJECTIVES To determine the utility of epidermal autophagy and beclin 1 regulator 1 (AMBRA1)/loricrin (AMLo) expression as a prognostic biomarker for AJCC stage I cutaneous melanoma. METHODS Peritumoral AMBRA1 expression was evaluated in a retrospective discovery cohort of 76 AJCC stage I melanomas. AMLo expression was correlated with clinical outcomes up to 12 years in two independent powered, retrospective validation and qualification cohorts comprising 379 AJCC stage I melanomas. RESULTS Decreased AMBRA1 expression in the epidermis overlying primary melanomas in a discovery cohort of 76 AJCC stage I tumours was associated with a 7-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate of 81·5% vs. 100% survival with maintained AMBRA1 (P < 0·081). Following an immunohistochemistry protocol for semi-quantitative analysis of AMLo, analysis was undertaken in validation (n = 218) and qualification cohorts (n = 161) of AJCC stage I melanomas. Combined cohort analysis revealed a DFS rate of 98·3% in the AMLo low-risk group (n = 239) vs. 85·4% in the AMLo high-risk cohort (n = 140; P < 0·001). Subcohort multivariate analysis revealed that an AMLo hazard ratio (HR) of 4·04 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1·69-9·66; P = 0·002] is a stronger predictor of DFS than Breslow depth (HR 2·97, 95% CI 0·93-9·56; P = 0·068) in stage IB patients. CONCLUSIONS Loss of AMLo expression in the epidermis overlying primary AJCC stage I melanomas identifies high-risk tumour subsets independently of Breslow depth. What's already known about this topic? There is an unmet clinical need for biomarkers of early-stage melanoma. Autophagy and beclin 1 regulator 1 (AMBRA1) is a proautophagy regulatory protein with known roles in cell proliferation and differentiation, and is a known tumour suppressor. Loricrin is a marker of epidermal terminal differentiation. What does this study add? AMBRA1 has a functional role in keratinocyte/epidermal proliferation and differentiation. The combined decrease/loss of peritumoral AMBRA1 and loricrin is associated with a significantly increased risk of metastatic spread in American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage I tumours vs. melanomas, in which peritumoral AMBRA1 and loricrin are maintained, independently of Breslow depth. What is the translational message? The integration of peritumoral epidermal AMBRA1/loricrin biomarker expression into melanoma care guidelines will facilitate more accurate, personalized risk stratification for patients with AJCC stage I melanomas, thereby facilitating stratification for appropriate follow-up and informing postdiagnostic investigations, including sentinel lymph node biopsy, ultimately resulting in improved disease outcomes and rationalization of healthcare costs.

Abstract
It is well known that as the king of cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has relatively malignant biological behavior and poor prognosis. The interaction between pancreatic stellate cells and PDAC cells promotes the development of PDAC. The aim of this study was to describe gene characteristics in pancreatic stellate cell (PSCs) after cross-talked with BXPC-3 and unravel their underlying mechanisms. The expression profiling analysis of genes in PSCs was completed after co-cultured with primary BXPC-3 for 48h. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG) enrichment analysis and gene ontology (GO) analysis were performed, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by Agilent GeneSpring GX program. In total, 1804 DEGs were filtered out in PSCs, including 958 up-regulated genes and 846 downregulated genes. GO analysis showed that the up-regulated DEGs were significantly enriched in biological processes (BP) such as defense response, immune system process and immune response; the down-regulated DEGs were significantly enriched in biological regulation and cytoskeleton organization. KEGG pathway analysis showed that 28 pathways were upregulated and 5 were downregulated. By constructing PPI network, we selected out 10 key genes (IL6,IL8, IL1B, BCL2, CCL2, CSF2, KIT, ICAM1, PTPRC and IGF1) and significant enriched pathways. In conclusion, the current study suggests that the filtered DEGs contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between PSCs and pancreatic cancer cells, and might be used as molecular targets to further the study the role of tumor microenvironment in the progression of PDAC.
