Abstract
BACKGROUND Subjective hearing loss (SHL) refers to an individual's self-assessment of their hearing loss. The association and underlying mechanisms between SHL and cognitive impairment still necessitate elucidation. OBJECTIVES To validate potential mechanisms between SHL and cognitive impairment. DESIGN Cross-section. SETTING Shanghai, China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 2369 individuals from communities and the cognitive disorder clinic. MEASUREMENTS All participants were subjected to a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, encompassing the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly-Screening Version (HHIE-S). The participants' brain β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition status, plasma biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and cardiovascular risk factors were also collected. RESULTS In individuals with a heightened SHL, elevated HHIE-S score was linked to diminished cognitive and daily functioning as well as heightened levels of depressed mood. This correlation was observed in auditory memory performance but not in visual memory. The influence of SHL on cognitive function was mediated by depressed mood. SHL was associated with diabetes and smoking, whereas cognitive function was associated with hyperlipidemia and alcohol consumption. In individuals with positive brain Aβ deposition, SHL demonstrated associations with cognitive function independent of plasma Aβ42/40 ratio, P-tau181, neurofilament light chain, and APOE allele status. CONCLUSION SHL has an independent effect on cognitive impairment. The findings do no provide evidence for the common cause mechanism. Instead, the findings support the presence of a cognitive resource mechanism and an impoverished environment mechanism, along with the potential for a pathological interaction mechanism.

Abstract
Histone methylation assumes a crucial role in the intricate process of enamel development. Our study has illuminated the substantial prevalence of H3K4me3 distribution, spanning from the cap stage to the late bell stage of dental germs. In order to delve into the role of H3K4me3 modification in amelogenesis and unravel the underlying mechanisms, we performed a conditional knockout of Ash2l, a core subunit essential for the establishment of H3K4me3 within the dental epithelium of mice. The absence of Ash2l resulted in reduced H3K4me3 modification, subsequently leading to abnormal morphology of dental germ at the late bell stage. Notably, knockout of Ash2l resulted in a loss of polarity in ameloblasts and odontoblasts. The proliferation and apoptosis of the inner enamel epithelium cells underwent dysregulation. Moreover, there was a notable reduction in the expression of matrix-related genes, Amelx and Dspp, accompanied with impaired enamel and dentin formation. Cut&Tag-seq (cleavage under targets and tagmentation sequencing) analysis substantiated a reduction of H3K4me3 modification on Shh, Trp63, Sp6, and others in the dental epithelium of Ash2l knockout mice. Validation through real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence consistently affirmed the observed downregulation of Shh and Sp6 in the dental epithelium following Ash2l knockout. Intriguingly, the expression of Trp63 isomers, DNp63 and TAp63, was perturbed in Ash2l defect dental epithelium. Furthermore, the downstream target of TAp63, P21, exhibited aberrant expression within the cervical loop of mandibular first molars and incisors. Collectively, our findings suggest that ASH2L orchestrates the regulation of crucial amelogenesis-associated genes, such as Shh, Trp63, and others, by modulating H3K4me3 modification. Loss of ASH2L and H3K4me3 can lead to aberrant differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis of the dental epithelium by affecting the expression of Shh, Trp63, and others genes, thereby contributing to the defects of amelogenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is the standard treatment for large operable or locally advanced breast cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important tool to evaluate tumor extent and response to treatment. In the future, surgery may not be required for patients showing pathologic complete response (pCR) after NAC. Therefore, early identification of such patients is crucial for improving and personalizing patient treatment. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 90 patients were identified who were diagnosed with invasive breast carcinoma and underwent breast MRI before and after NAC between August 2014 and May 2018. The patients were divided into training group (72 cases) and test group (18 cases). Immunohistochemical data were used to classify breast carcinomas into five molecular subtypes: Luminal A; Luminal B; Her-2 negative; Her-2 positive; or triple-negative and the corresponding surgical specimens were evaluated according to Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) criteria for pathological response. Statistical analyses were conducted using statistical software and statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05. RESULTS A total of 90 patients with invasive breast carcinoma were enrolled in our study, including 72 patients in training group and 18 patients in test group. The accuracy of molecular subtypes is Luminal A (0.77); Luminal B (0.78); Her-2 negative (0.72); Her-2 positive (0.79); or triple-negative (0.87). Compared with other molecular subtypes, triple-negative show better prediction results (P= 0.028). The accuracy of pathological response is Grade 1 chemotherapy response (0.73); Grade 2 chemotherapy response (0.84); Grade 3 chemotherapy response (0.78); Grade 4 chemotherapy response (0.79); Grade 5 chemotherapy response (0.77). There was no significant difference in chemotherapy response between five groups. CONCLUSION The results of this analysis suggested that three negative breast cancer has better prediction effect in magnetic resonance texture analysis for breast cancer patients receiving NAC. However, magnetic resonance texture analysis did not show statistical differences in chemotherapy response. A multicenter randomized controlled prospective trial may be needed.

Abstract
Despite advancements in medical research, androgenetic alopecia (AGA) remains a humankind problem that still needs to be overcome. To date, clinical practice lacks an ideal treatment for AGA. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is evidenced to play a key role in hair regrowth, hence, modulating this signaling pathway for AGA therapy appears to be rational. One of the major inhibitors of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1). In this report, we have selected a small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting DKK1 in vitro via qPCR and then tested its efficacy in vivo on the depilated dorsal skin of the mice. The changes in hair growth in different groups were observed over time. Moreover, the visual observation of the hair growth and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining showed that DKK1-targeting siRNA reveals non-inferior results compared with the mice treated with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, commercially available minoxidil (5%) topical solution that was used as a positive control. Both- positive control and DKK1-targeting siRNA groups demonstrated significantly superior results compared with the control group that received negative control siRNA. Consequently, siRNAs targeting DKK1 may promote hair growth regulation in the AGA population via potentially activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the application value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary infection in immunocompromised patients. Methods: A total of 78 patients with immunocompromised pulmonary infection [55 males and 23 females, aged (50.3±16.9) years] and 61 patients with non-immunocompromised pulmonary infection [42 males and 19 females, aged (63.6±15.9) years] in the Intensive Care Unit of the First Medical Center of College of the Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine, Chinese PLA General Hospital from November 2018 to May 2022 were retrospectively selected. Patients in both groups received bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) mNGS and conventional microbiological tests (CMTs) while clinically diagnosed with pulmonary infection. The diagnostic positive rate, pathogen detection rate and clinical coincidence rate of the two methods were compared. At the same time, the difference of adjustment rate of anti-infective treatment strategy based on the results of mNGS detection was compared between the two groups. Results: The positive rates of mNGS in patients with pulmonary infection were 94.9% (74/78) and 82.0% (50/61) in the immunocompromised group and the non-immunocompromised group, respectively. The positive rates of CMTs in patients with pulmonary infection were 64.1% (50/78) and 75.4% (46/61) in the immunocompromised group and the non-immunocompromised group, respectively. The positive rates of mNGS and CMTs in patients with pulmonary infection in immunocompromised group showed a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The detection rates of mNGS in the immunocompromised group for pneumocystis jirovecii and cytomegalovirus were 41.0% (32/78) and 37.2% (29/78), respectively, and the detection rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, chlamydia psittaci and Legionella pneumophila were 16.4% (10/61), 9.8% (6/61) and 8.2% (5/61) in the non-immunocompromised patients, respectively, which were higher than those of CMTs [1.3% (1/78), 7.7% (6/78), 4.9% (3/61), 0 and 0] (all P<0.05). In the immunocompromised group, the clinical coincidence rates of mNGS and CMTs and were 89.7% (70/78) and 43.6% (34/78), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). In the non-immunocompromised group, the clinical coincidence rates of mNGS and CMTs were 83.6% (51/61) and 62.3% (38/61), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.008). In the immunocompromised group, according to the results of the etiology of mNGS, the adjustment rate of anti-infection treatment strategy was 87.2% (68/78), while in the non-immunocompromised group, the adjustment rate of anti-infective treatment strategy was 60.7% (37/61), with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). Conclusion: In patients with immunocompromised pulmonary infection, mNGS has more advantages than CMTs in diagnostic positive rate, diagnosis rate of mixed infection, pathogen detection rate and guidance of anti-infection treatment strategy adjustment, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. Methods: The clinical data of patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region between September 2016 and September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Changes in aortic transvalvular pressure gradients, valve orifice area, and activity tolerance of patients before and after the surgery were compared. Moreover, postoperative complications and follow-up results from 30 days to 6 years after the surgery were recorded. Results: A total of 76 patients were included in the study (50 males and 26 females), with an average age of (71.3±7.6) years, including 16 rheumatic valvular diseases, 60 senile degenerative diseases, 46 bicuspid valves and 30 tricuspid valves. The success rate of the operation was 96.1% (73/76). Compared with that before the operation, the mean aortic transvalvular pressure gradients decreased [(8.5±2.8) mmHg vs (68.5±19.2) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),P<0.001], but the valve orifice area increased [(1.91±0.31) cm2 vs (0.65±0.21) cm2, P<0.001]. Likewise, six-minute walking test (6MWT) showed that walking distance was longer after the surgery [(430±13) m vs (201±28) m, P<0.001]. There were 1 case of retroperitoneal hematoma, 1 case of stricture balloon dilatation after femoral artery suture concomitant with postoperative puncture site infection, 1 case of femoral artery surgical incision, 2 cases of valve-in-valve (ViV) and 5 cases of perivalvular leakage (4 cases were mild and 1 case was moderate) after the surgery, respectively. Moreover, acute left main artery occlusion during operation occurred in 1 case, ventricular rupture during operation occurred in 1 case and the patient was transferred to valve replacement surgery and finally dead, delayed coronary artery occlusion and death happened in 1 case, and all of the above-mentioned 3 cases were due to surgical failure. Postoperative pacemaker implantation due to third-degree atrioventricular block was performed in 5 cases. There were 1 case of pulmonary embolism, 1 case of transient right limb disorder, 1 case of gastrointestinal bleeding and 1 case of urethral bleeding after the surgery, respectively. The patients were followed up for (1.0±0.1) years (30 days to 6 years), and the results showed that 2 cases died, including 1 case died suddenly at home (the cause of death was unknown) and 1 case died of acute heart failure 8 months after the surgery. Chronic heart failure occurred repeatedly in 6 cases. The quality of life of other patients improved significantly. Conclusion: TAVR is effective and safe for patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia. The multidrug-resistance (MDR) rate of PA is increasing making the management of PA a global challenge. Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent the most promising alternative to conventional vaccines and are widely studied for viral infection and cancer immunotherapy while rarely studied for bacterial infections. In this study, two mRNA vaccines encoding PcrV- the key component of the type III secretion system in Pseudomonas and the fusion protein OprF-I comprising outer membrane proteins OprF and OprI were constructed. The mice were immunized with either one of these mRNA vaccines or with the combination of both. Additionally, mice were vaccinated with PcrV, OprF, or the combination of these two proteins. Immunization with either mRNA-PcrV or mRNA-OprF-I elicited a Th1/Th2 mixed or slighted Th1-biased immune response, conferred broad protection, and reduced bacterial burden and inflammation in burn and systemic infection models. mRNA-PcrV induced significantly stronger antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses and higher survival rate compared with the OprF-I after challenging with all the PA strains tested. The combined mRNA vaccine demonstrated the best survival rate. Moreover, the mRNA vaccines showed the superiority over protein vaccines. These results suggest that mRNA-PcrV as well as the mixture of mRNA-PcrV and mRNA-OprF-I are promising vaccine candidates for the prevention of PA infection.

Abstract
AIM To compare the accuracy of hand-held ultrasonography (US), mammography (MG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and automated breast volume scanning (ABVS) in defining residual breast cancer tumour size after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed breast cancer and who received NAT at the Breast Center, Peking University People's Hospital, were enrolled prospectively. Imaging was performed after the last cycle of NAT. The residual tumour size, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) to predict pathological complete response (pCR) were analysed. RESULTS A total of 156 patients with 159 tumours were analysed. ABVS had a moderate correlation with histopathology residual tumour size (ICC = 0.666), and showed high agreement among triple-positive tumours (ICC = 0.797). With 5 mm as the threshold, the coincidence rate reached 64.7% between ABVS and pathological size, which was significantly higher than that between US, MG, MRI, and pathological size (50%, 45.1%, 41.4%; p=0.009, p=0.001, p<0.001, respectively). For ROC analysis, ABVS demonstrated a higher area under the ROC curve, but with no statistical difference, except for MG (0.855, 0.816, 0.819, and 0.788, respectively; p=0.183 for US, p=0.044 for MG, and p=0.397 for MRI, with ABVS as the reference). CONCLUSIONS The longest tumour diameter on ABVS had a moderate correlation with pathological residual invasive tumour size. ABVS was shown to have good ability to predict pCR and would appear to be a potential useful tool for the assessment after NAT for breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large-scale preclinical Alzheimer's disease study based on β-amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) has not been conducted in China. OBJECTIVES Establish a cohort on Alzheimer's disease spectrum, especially the preclinical stages, and determine the factors influencing the acceptance of β-amyloid PET scan screening in China. DESIGN Longitudinal. SETTING Shanghai, China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 4386 participants were screened and 2451 participants who met enrollment criteria were eventually included in this report. MEASUREMENTS The multidimensional data was collected, including comprehensive assessments, PET and magnetic resonance imaging scans, genetics, and plasma biomarkers. RESULTS There were 571 participants in the normal cognition group, 625 participants in the subjective cognitive decline group, 155 participants in the objectively defined subtle cognitive decline group, 501 participants in the mild cognitive impairment group, 471 participants in Alzheimer's disease group, and 128 participants with cognitive impairment from other known causes. Significant differences in demographics, florbetapir PET, APOE, and neuropsychological tests were found among the groups. Eight hundred and seventeen participants (33.3%) completed the florbetapir PET scanning. Non-demented individuals with higher age, lower education years, male, with a family history of dementia, and higher self-report depression prefer to undergo PET scans. Acceptance of PET scans did not correlate with objectively assessed cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS The Chinese Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease Study was designed to establish a large-scale cohort with comprehensive data collection. Our findings may help to understand the factors affecting the acceptance of β-amyloid PET in urban areas of China and help us address the low acceptance challenge.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore urine caffeine metabolites in relation to cognitive performance among 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participants aged ≥60 years. We hypothesized that urine caffeine metabolites were positively associated with cognition in older adults. Caffeine and 14 of its metabolites were quantified in urine by use of high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem quadruple mass spectrometry with stable isotope labeled internal standards. Cognitive assessment was based on scores from the word learning and recall modules. Participants were categorized based on the quartiles of caffeine and its metabolites level. The association between caffeine metabolites and each cognitive dimension was analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis in adjusted models. Stratification analyses by gender were also performed. For CERAD test, there was a significant association between 1-methyluric acid (OR=0.62, 95% CI: 0.42 to 0.92), 7-methylxanthine(OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.27 to 0.89), theophylline (OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.29 to 0.92), as well as paraxanthine (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.27 to 0.88) and cognitive function. For animal fluency test, there was a positive association between theophylline (TP) (OR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.22 to 0.89) and cognitive function. The trend that the risk of low cognitive function decreased with increasing concentration of 1-methylxanthine (P trend=0.0229) was also observed. Furthermore, the same trend existed for 3-methylxanthine (p trend = 0.0375) in men. In conclusion, there was a significant positive association between urine caffeine metabolites and cognitive performance in older adults, particularly for theophylline, paraxanthine and caffeine; and the association might be dependent on gender.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Exercise can improve cognitive function. The impact of acute exercise on cognition is related to exercise intensity. This study aimed to explore whether normal walking had a beneficial effect on cognition.
Methods
Compared with standing still, thirty healthy young men walked on a treadmill at a normal pace, and completed the Stroop test. Near-infrared spectroscopy was used to monitor the hemodynamic changes of the prefrontal cortex during the entire experiment.
Results
Studies showed that normal walking did not stimulate higher average cerebral oxygen in the PFC, but the peak cerebral oxygen in cognitive tests during walking was higher (Stroop Word: 2.56 ± 0.43 and 3.80 ± 0.50, P < 0.01, Stroop Color: 2.50 ± 0.37 and 3.66 ± 0.59, P < 0.05, Stroop Color-Word: 4.13 ± 0.55 and 5.25 ± 0.66, P < 0.01, respectively), and better results were achieved in the Stroop Color-Word test, which was reflected in faster reaction times (49.18 ± 1.68 s, 56.92 ± 2.29 s, respectively, P < 0.001) and higher accuracies (46.19 ± 0.69, 44.15 ± 0.91, respectively, P = 0.018).
Conclusion
For healthy young people, even a normal walk is therefore good for cognition.

Abstract
DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6 × 6 × 6 m 3 liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LArTPC) that recorded cosmic-muon data at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the DUNE Far Detector. Charged particles propagating through the LArTPC produce ionization and scintillation light. The scintillation light signal in these detectors can provide the trigger for non-beam events. In addition, it adds precise timing capabilities and improves the calorimetry measurements. In ProtoDUNE-DP, scintillation and electroluminescence light produced by cosmic muons in the LArTPC is collected by photomultiplier tubes placed up to 7 m away from the ionizing track. In this paper, the ProtoDUNE-DP photon detection system performance is evaluated with a particular focus on the different wavelength shifters, such as PEN and TPB, and the use of Xe-doped LAr, considering its future use in giant LArTPCs. The scintillation light production and propagation processes are analyzed and a comparison of simulation to data is performed, improving understanding of the liquid argon properties.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness of influenza vaccination among people aged 60 years and older in Shenzhen. Methods: A Markov state transition model was constructed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of annual influenza vaccination for preventing influenza infection compared with no vaccination among the elderly from the social perspective. Allowing seasonal variation of influenza activity, the model followed a five-year cohort using weekly cycles. We employed once the Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in 2019 (70 892 yuan) as the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold and calculated the net monetary benefit (NMB) with costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) discounted at 5% annually. The impact of parameter uncertainty on the results was examined using one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses (PSA). Results: The base case amounted to approximately 35 yuan of cost-saving and a net gain of 0.007 QALYs. Correspondingly, the NMB was 529 yuan per vaccinated person. One-way sensitivity analyses showed that the NMB was relatively sensitive to changes in the attack rate of influenza and vaccine effectiveness. Based on the results of PSA with 1 000 Monte Carlo simulations, influenza vaccination had a probability of being cost-effective in 100% of the repetitions. Conclusions: The present study provides evidence that influenza vaccination is a cost-saving disease prevention strategy for people aged 60 years and older in Shenzhen.

Abstract
Objective: The investigation and research on the application status of Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG) is very important to understand the real situation and future development of this technology in China. Methods: This study comprehensively investigated the basic situation of HVPG technology in China, including hospital distribution, hospital level, annual number of cases, catheters used, average cost, indications and existing problems. Results: According to the survey, there were 70 hospitals in China carrying out HVPG technology in 2021, distributed in 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central Government). A total of 4 398 cases of HVPG were performed in all the surveyed hospitals in 2021, of which 2 291 cases (52.1%) were tested by HVPG alone. The average cost of HVPG detection was (5 617.2±2 079.4) yuan. 96.3% of the teams completed HVPG detection with balloon method, and most of the teams used thrombectomy balloon catheter (80.3%). Conclusion: Through this investigation, the status of domestic clinical application of HVPG has been clarified, and it has been confirmed that many domestic medical institutions have mastered this technology, but it still needs to continue to promote and popularize HVPG technology in the future.

Abstract
Despite the existence of various types of vaccines and the involvement of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains the most challenging health threat in this century. Along with the increased transmissibility, new strains continue to emerge leading to the need for more vaccines that would elicit protectiveness and safety against the new strains of the virus. Nucleic acid vaccines seem to be the most effective approach in case of a sudden outbreak of infection or the emergence of a new strain as it requires less time than any conventional vaccine development. Hence, in the current study, a DNA vaccine encoding the trimeric prefusion-stabilized ectodomain (S1+S2) of SARS-CoV-2 S-protein was designed by introducing six additional prolines mutation, termed HexaPro. The three-dose regimen of designed DNA vaccine immunization in mice demonstrated the generation of protective antibodies.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the germline mutation status of related genes in breast cancer patients and high-risk individuals by next-generation sequencing. To analyze the correlations between homologous recombination repair (HR) pathway gene mutation status and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients. To supplement the database of breast cancer related gene mutations in Chinese population. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. From October 2020 to September 2021, whole blood samples were collected from 350 breast cancer patients and 49 high-risk individuals, admitted to Peking University People's Hospital and accepted genetic testing voluntarily. Germline mutations in 32 breast cancer related genes were detected by NGS. The clinicopathological characteristics, including age at the onset, family history, unilateral/bilateral tumor, Luminal typing (Luminal A subtype, Luminal B subtype, HER2-enriched subtype and triple negative breast cancer), tumor size and metastasis, were analyzed, and the correlations between HR pathway gene mutation status and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed by Chi-squared test and Fisher's exact probability test. Results: Among 350 breast cancer patients, 64 (18.3%) cases carried gene pathogenic mutations (including pathogenic and likely pathogenic mutations), including 47 (13.4%) in BRCA1/2, 16 (4.6%) in non-BRCA1/2 genes, 1 (0.3%) in BRCA2 and FANCL. Among 49 high-risk individuals, 7 (14.3%) cases carried gene pathogenic mutations, including 6 (12.3%) in BRCA1/2 and 1 (2%) in ATM genes. BRCA1/2 pathogenic mutations were associated with age at the onset (18%, 8.7%, χ²=6.346, P=0.012), and the BRCA1/2 pathogenic mutation frequency was higher in patients diagnosed at age ≤45 years. HR pathway gene mutations (including pathogenic, likely pathogenic and uncertain significance mutations) were correlated with unilateral/bilateral tumor (49.5%, 68.4%, χ²=4.841, P=0.028) and Luminal typing (45.7%, 62.2%, 32%, 60%, χ²=12.004, P=0.007), and the HR mutation frequencies were higher in patients with bilateral tumor, Luminal B breast cancer and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Conclusion: The BRCA1/2 pathogenic mutation frequency in high-risk individuals is similar to that in breast cancer patients, and BRCA1/2 testing is helpful to guide breast cancer screening and prevention in high-risk individuals. Patients with early onset breast cancer, bilateral breast cancer, Luminal B breast cancer and TNBC have higher mutation frequencies of HR pathway genes, and HR pathway genes testing should be conducted as soon as possible to provide laboratory evidence for diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and risk evaluation of breast cancer.

Abstract
mRNA vaccines have become a promising alternative to conventional cancer immunotherapy approaches. However, its application on colorectal cancer (CRC) remains poorly understood. We herein identified potential antigens for designing an effective mRNA vaccine, further to build an immune landscape for the accurate selection of patients for mRNA vaccine therapy. Raw transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases were retrieved. Consensus clustering algorithm was applied to divide the CRC samples into four immune subtypes. Immunogenomics analysis was further integrated to characterize the immune microenvironment of each immune subtype. Six tumor antigens were found to be associated with poor prognosis and infiltration of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in CRC patients. Furthermore, each of the immune subtypes showed differential cellular and molecular features. The IS2 and IS4 exhibited significantly improved survival and higher immune cell infiltration compared with IS1 and IS3. Immune checkpoint molecules and human leukocyte antigen also showed significant differential expression in four immune subtypes. Moreover, we performed graph structure learning-based dimensionality reduction to visualize the immune landscape of CRC. Our results revealed a complex immune landscape that may provide directions for mRNA vaccine treatment of CRC and define appropriate vaccination patients.

Abstract
Background/purpose Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important problem for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, current approaches to ILD case finding in real-world data have been evaluated only in limited settings and identify only prevalent ILD and not new-onset disease. Our objective was to develop, refine, and validate a claims-based algorithm to identify both prevalent and incident ILD in RA patients compared to the gold standard of medical record review. Methods We used administrative claims data 2006–2015 from Medicare to derive a cohort of RA patients. We then identified suspected ILD using variations of ILD algorithms to classify both prevalent and incident ILD based on features of the data that included hospitalization vs. outpatient setting, physician specialty, pulmonary-related diagnosis codes, and exclusions for potentially mimicking pulmonary conditions. Positive predictive values (PPV) of several ILD algorithm variants for both prevalent and incident ILD were evaluated. Results We identified 234 linkable RA patients with sufficient data to evaluate for ILD. Overall, 108 (46.2%) of suspected cases were confirmed as ILD. Most cases (64%) were diagnosed in the outpatient setting. The best performing algorithm for prevalent ILD had a PPV of 77% (95% CI 67–84%) and for incident ILD was 96% (95% CI 85–100%). Conclusion Case finding in administrative data for both prevalent and incident interstitial lung disease in RA patients is feasible and has reasonable accuracy to support population-based research and real-world evidence generation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS), sleep duration and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in community-dwelling older Chinese adults. METHODS The study comprised of 1367 community-dwelling Chinese participants (563 men; mean age: 71.0 years) recruited from Tianjin and Shanghai, China who were invited to participate in a comprehensive geriatric assessment. The International Diabetes Federation metabolic syndrome guidelines were used to define MetS. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale were used for the initial classification of patients with MCI. We divided sleep duration into five groups (≤6 h, 6-8 h which was used as the reference, 8-9 h, 9-10 h, and >10 h). Nutritional status was assessed by Mini Nutrition Assessment Short Form. RESULTS The overall incidence of metabolic syndrome was 46.7%, the overall incidence of mild cognitive impairment was 17.4%. In logistic regression analysis model, after adjusting for multiple confounding factors such as nutritional status and physical activity level, there was a significant positive association between long sleep duration (> 10h) and mild cognitive impairment in general population and metabolic syndrome population (p<0.05), but the association was not significant in non-metabolic syndrome group. In addition, in the long sleep duration group, the components of metabolic syndrome, elevated blood glucose were significantly associated with mild cognitive impairment (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Long sleep duration was significantly associated with increased risk of MCI in older adults with MetS, but not in those without MetS. The prevention of MCI may be more effective in the population of MetS with long sleep duration.

Abstract
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) remains an unsolved problem for the well-being of humankind, although multiple important involvements in hair growth have been discovered. Up until now, there is no ideal therapy in clinical practice in terms of efficacy and safety. Ultimately, there is a strong need for developing a feasible remedy for preventing and treating AGA. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is critical in hair restoration. Thus, AGA treatment via modulating this pathway is rational, although challenging. Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) is distinctly identified as an inhibitor of canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Thus, in order to stimulate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, inhibition of DKK1 is greatly demanding. Studying DKK1-targeting microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway may lay the groundwork for the promotion of hair growth. Bearing in mind that DKK1 inhibition in the balding scalp of AGA certainly makes sense, this review sheds light on the perspectives of miRNA-mediated hair growth for treating AGA via regulating DKK1 and, eventually, modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Consequently, certain miRNAs regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway via DKK1 inhibition might represent attractive candidates for further studies focusing on promoting hair growth and AGA therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are important measures of health, particularly in symptomatic conditions such as heart failure (HF), and regulatory agencies have encouraged their collection in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Purpose
To assess temporal trends in the inclusion of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in heart failure (HF) randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in high-impact medical journals, explore trial characteristics associated with inclusion of PROs, and describe the quality of PRO reporting in HF RCTs.
Methods
We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL for studies published between January 1, 2000 and July 17, 2020. We included RCTs published in journals with impact factor ≥10. We assessed temporal trends using the Jonckheere-Terpstra test and conducted multivariable logistic regression analysis to explore trial characteristics independently associated with inclusion of PROs. We assessed the quality of PRO reporting using the Consolidated Standards for Trial Reporting PRO extension statement.
Results
We identified 12,342 articles, of which 417 RCTs met inclusion criteria. PROs were included in 224 RCTs (53.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 48.8%-58.6%), of which 44 (19.6%) reported PRO as primary or co-primary endpoint. The proportion of RCTs with PROs increased significantly between 2000–2003 (37.4%) and 2016–2020 (65.1%) (p<0.001). PROs had higher odds of inclusion in RCTs that were multicenter (odds ratio [OR]: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.05–3.64; p=0.036); medium-sized (n=51–250) (OR: 2.29; 95% CI: 1.24–4.23; p=0.008); coordinated in in Central and South America (OR: 6.79; 95% CI: 1.34–34.36; p=0.021); and assessed health services (OR: 4.21; 1.97–8.98; p<0.001), device / surgical (OR: 6.24; 95% CI 3.05–12.80; p<0.001), or exercise and rehabilitation interventions (OR: 3.98; 95% CI 1.59–9.97; p=0.003). A majority (54.9%) of the 224 RCTs reported four or less of the eleven CONSORT-PRO items. The median number of CONSORT-PRO items reported was 4 (interquartile range [IQR] 3–6 items per trial), with improved reporting in trials with PRO as primary or co-primary endpoint.
Conclusions
PROs are included in in just over half of HF RCTs, with an increased reporting of PROs between 2000 and 2020. Large, pharmacotherapy trials conducted in North America and Europe were less likely to include PROs. The quality of PRO reporting in HF RCTs was modest, with trials most often reporting four of eleven CONSORT-PRO items.

Abstract
High-grain non-pelleted (HG) and high-grain pelleted (HP) diets are becoming prevalent for ruminant feeding in intensive farms. However, rare information is about their effect on sheep and the comparison between these two kinds of diets. The current study investigated how HG and HP diets affected the transcriptome profiles of rumen epithelium in Hu-lamb. Fifteen male Hu-lambs were assigned randomly to three groups (n = 5 for each group). Lambs in the control (CON), HG, and HP groups were fed with low-grain non-pelleted diet (30% grain), HG diet (70% grain), and HP diet (70% grain), respectively, for 42 days. All these lambs were slaughtered to collect ruminal epithelium samples for transcriptome analysis. Results showed both HG and HP diets obviously changed the transcriptome profiles, and 192, 319, and three differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified for CON_HG, CON_HP, and HG_HP comparisons, respectively. Clusters of orthologous group functional classification of CON_HG and CON_HP DEG datasets both showed the enrichments of DEGs in pathways involved in protein biogenesis and modification as well as energy production and conversion. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway analysis of CON_HG and CON_HP DEG datasets both displayed the enrichments of DEGs in ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation. Almost all these DEGs involved in translation and ribosomal structure and biogenesis as well as oxidative phosphorylation were downregulated in the HG and HP groups compared to the CON group. Furthermore, CON_HP comparison demonstrated more DEGs related to these two pathways than CON_HG comparison. In conclusion, both HG and HP diets inhibited energy production and conversion as well as protein synthesis and modification in ruminal epithelium. HP diet showed lower growth benefits, induced severer rumen acidosis, and more seriously inhibited energy production and protein synthesis as compared to HG diet.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lingual thyroglossal duct cysts (LTGDC) are a rare kind of thyroglossal duct cyst. However, Sistrunk surgery is not very suitable for this type of cyst. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of transoral excision of LTGDC by plasma coblation. METHODS The present study reviewed 11 patients, comprising seven males and four females, who had been diagnosed with LTGDC preoperatively by computed tomography (CT) and fibre-optic electronic laryngoscopy. Of those patients, two had recurrence after surgery of epiglottic cysts. All these patients underwent transoral excision by plasma coblation. Then, we collected preoperative data of the patients, observed the effect of surgery, and analysed factors relevant to LTGDC, including the estimated bleeding amount, postoperative hospitalisation, complications and recurrence rates. RESULTS The connection between LTGDC and hyoid was tapered on sagittal images of CT, which was vital evidence for the diagnosis of LTGDC. Surgery was performed successfully for all 11 patients, and all recovered without complication. There was no evidence of recurrence after surgery, during follow up for 3-43 months. CONCLUSIONS Transoral surgery for LTGDC can be performed successfully by plasma coblation, which is an effective and safe surgical treatment. Fibre-optic electronic laryngoscopy and CT are essential to the diagnosis of LTGDC in order to avoid missing detection and misdiagnosis.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the clinical application value of single-port inflatable endoscopic nipple sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation in the treatment of early breast cancer. Methods: From February 2014 to July 2019, the clinic-pathological data of 34 early breast cancer patients received single-port inflatable endoscopic nipple sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation at Department of General Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed and followed up. All the patients were female, with an age of 46(11) years (M(QR)) (range: 26 to 64 years). The radical cure degree of operation, cosmetic effect after operation were evaluated. The satisfaction to operation and personal quality of life after operation was accessed by BREAST-Q scale. Results: All surgical procedures were successfully completed. The operation time was (313.4±11.7) minutes (range: 200 to 485 minutes). The blooding-liquid was (33.8±3.3) ml (range: 10 to 100 ml). There were 5 cases (14.7%) of nipple areola necrosis after operation, of which 1 patient received taking the prosthesis out because of prosthesis exposure. There was no capsular contracture or postoperative bleeding case. The follow-up time was 35(17) months (range: 12 to 77 months), and there was one case suffering local recurrence and metastasis, and another suffering metastasis. The scores of postoperative breast satisfaction, psychosocial status, chest wall status and sexual health were 78.32±2.57 (range: 55 to 100), 89.12±2.30 (range: 82 to 100), 91.47±1.33 (range: 43 to 100), and 78.50±2.68 (range: 39 to 100). Conclusion: Single-port inflatable endoscopic nipple sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation in the treatment of early breast cancer can achieve provided curative and cosmetic effect on patients with breast cancer, with good patients' postoperative quality of life and satisfaction.

Abstract
Objective: To examine treatment outcomes of breast phyllodes tumors and the prognosis factors of local recurrence. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 276 patients who underwent surgical resection at Breast Center, Peking University People's Hospital from January 2011 to December 2019. Tumor subtype and histopathological features were determined from pathology reports, and the deadline of follow-up was September 30th, 2020. All 276 patients underwent open surgery, including 17 patients of mastectomy, and 259 patients of lumpectomy. The enrolled patients were all female, with age of (41.5±11.3) years (rang: 11 to 76 years), and tumor diameter of 35(28) mm (M(QR)). The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis. The multivariate analysis was implemented using the Cox proportional hazard model. Results: According the pathologic test, there were 191 patients of benign phyllodes tumor, 67 patients of borderline tumor and 18 patients of malignant tumor. There were 249 patients with a follow-up of more than 6 months, and 14.1% (35/249) had local recurrence. The time-to-recurrence was (28.6±22.2) months (range: 2 to 96 months), (29.1±18.1) months (range: 2 to 80 months), (32.1±30.1) months (range: 5 to 96 months) and (12.0±6.9) months (range: 8 to 20 months) for benign, borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors. Tumor diameter (≥100 mm vs.<50 mm, HR=3.968, 95%CI: 1.550 to 10.158, P=0.004) and malignant heterologous element (yes vs. no, HR=26.933, 95%CI: 3.105 to 233.600, P=0.003) were prognosis factors of local recurrence. One death from malignant phyllodes occurred after distant metastasis. The 3-year disease-free survival rates of benign, borderline and malignant phyllodes tumor were 88.2%, 81.7% and 81.4% (P=0.300). Conclusion: Phyllodes tumors have a considerable local recurrence rate, which may be associated with tumor diameter and malignant heterologous element.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The use of intermittent high mechanical index (HMI) ultrasound impulses in combination with intravenously administered microbubbles (MB) has been shown to dissolve arterial and microvascular thrombi. The recent development of liquid droplets with nanoscale diameter from commercially available microbubbles may optimize thrombus permeation and subsequent thrombus dissolution.
Methods
Thrombi were formed from fresh porcine arterial whole blood mixed with thrombin, and placed in a vascular system mimicking branching epicardial coronary circulation (Figure 1A) at 37 Celsius and flow rate. A diagnostic ultrasound system with a tissue mimicking phantom was placed on top of the thrombus to simulate transthoracic echocardiography. Thrombus treatment consisted of a 10-minute infusion of either diluted nanodroplets (ND) or MB (same concentration) with intermittent HMI fundamental multipulse (3 usec pulse duration; FUS) or single pulse harmonic (HUS) impulses. All treatments were randomized and compared with HMI impulses alone. Efficacy was evaluated by percentage thrombus dissolution (%TD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of residual thrombi after treatment was performed to examine for droplet permeation and resultant formed microbubble size.
Results
A relatively monodisperse nanodroplets size distribution was formed from microbubble cooled compression (mean diameter was 147±54 nm). A total of 60 porcine arterial thrombi were tested, 20 in each MB and ND treated group (20 control). Overall, there was a significant difference in %TD between ND treated thrombi (combining HUS and FUS HMI treated groups) versus MB treated thrombi and control (p<0.0001 and p=0.02, respectively; ANOVA, Figure 1B). The highest %TD was seen in the FUS HMI treated ND group (mean 51±17%; Figure 1B). TEM of the DND treated group demonstrated significant expansion (diameters of 6 microns; Figure 1 C) of acoustically activated droplets embedded within the thrombi.
Conclusion
ND in combination with intermittent HMI ultrasound resulted in significantly greater thrombolysis compared to MB. In-vivo studies on nanodroplet mediated sonothrombolysis for vascular and microvascular thrombi should be performed with this modification of a commercially available microbubble.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Guidelines favour use of the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) over vitamin-K antagonists for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF). However, studies have shown these agents are being under-dosed relative to the doses recommended in the product labels.
Purpose
To assess the ability of a CDS tool, employed to support management of patients with AF in primary care, to optimize NOAC prescribing.
Methods
The Integrated Management Program Advancing Community Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (IMPACT-AF) study was a cluster randomized controlled trial that assessed the ability of a CDS tool to optimize care of community-based AF patients. Between September 2014 and December 2016, 203 primary care providers (104 randomized to CDS use, 99 to usual care [UC]) and 1133 of their patients (n=597 CDS, n=548 UC) were enrolled. Among other functions, 9 CDS program rules provided recommendations on NOAC prescribing based upon a given patient's clinical profile, as per product labels. Appropriate NOAC prescribing within the IMPACT-AF study population was compared between patients managed with the CDS versus UC at baseline and 12-months.
Results
Of those patients prescribed a NOAC, a high proportion (approximately 70%) were managed as per NOAC prescribing recommendations at baseline (Fig. 1). At 12 months, this proportion did not appreciably change in the UC arm (Fig. 1). In the CDS arm, an 8.2% absolute/11.8% relative improvement in appropriate NOAC prescribing over baseline was seen at 12-months (Fig. 1).
A comparison of patients at baseline and 12-months within each arm revealed a non-significant decline in the level of appropriate NOAC prescribing in the UC group (p=0.53). In the CDS arm, a significant improvement was observed in appropriate NOAC prescribing over time (p<0.001).
Conclusion
Even prior to any quality improvement efforts, appropriate NOAC prescribing was higher than anticipated in this contemporary cohort of community-based AF patients. At 12-months, significant further improvements were seen in the CDS but not the UC arm. These findings suggest that physician decision support can help enhance appropriate NOAC prescribing in the primary care setting.

Abstract
Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by acrocephaly, exophthalmos, hypertelorism, strabismus, parrot-beaked nose, and hypoplastic maxilla. It is usually caused by a pathogenic mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene and premature fusion of the sutures of the cranium and the base of the skull. This article documents the ophthalmic complications in patients with Crouzon syndrome before and after the influence of craniofacial surgery with particular emphasis on the different mechanisms and treatments involved. It is important to perform timely decompressive surgery before the presence of optic atrophy and corneal defects, and make early detection and adequate management of amblyopia, ptosis and strabismus.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare postoperative complications and facial nerve (FN) recovery rates between conventional superficial parotidectomy (CSP) and partial superficial parotidectomy (PSP) as surgical treatment for benign parotid tumours. A prospective study was conducted on 55 consecutive patients who underwent either CSP (n=35) or PSP (n=20) for benign parotid tumours. The primary outcomes were FN injury, FN recovery rates, and Frey syndrome. Secondary outcomes were operative time, hospital stay, sialocele, haematoma, and auricular numbness. The degree of FN injury was evaluated at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperative using the House-Brackmann grading system. Frey syndrome was assessed using a subjective clinical questionnaire and objective Minor starch-iodine test. No patient in either group experienced permanent FN paralysis. There was a significantly higher incidence of temporary FN weakness in the CSP group (P=0.007). The respective FN recovery rates at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were 60%, 88.6%, 94.3%, and 100% in the CSP group and 90%, 95%, 100%, and 100% in the PSP group. No significant difference was observed between the groups regarding the incidence of Frey syndrome, sialocele, and haematoma. The operative time and hospital stay were both shorter in the PSP group. Although the PSP is a more conservative procedure with significantly reduced FN injury, operative time, and hospital stay compared to CSP, the CSP procedure shows a comparable FN recovery rate to the PSP.

Abstract
Approximately 89% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from dysarthria. Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT), a behavioral therapy, aims to improve speech and voice functions. The objective was to assess the effectiveness of LSVT compared with other/no speech interventions for dysarthria in patients with PD. Electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library, were searched. The publication date of all included studies was before 6 March 2020. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the LSVT intervention compared with other/no speech intervention were considered. The data obtained from the included studies were described and the mean differences were calculated. Eight RCTs were included in this meta-analysis comparing LSVT with other/no speech interventions. In the comparison of LSVT versus no intervention, vocal intensity for sustained 'Ah' phonation, reading the 'Rainbow passage', monologue and describing a picture increased by 8.87, 4.34, 3.25 and 3.31 dB, respectively, after 1 month of therapy. Compared with the respiratory therapy group, the LSVT group also showed significant improvement in vocal intensity for sustained 'Ah' phonation, reading the 'Rainbow passage' and monologue immediately after treatment (13.39, 6.66 and 3.19 dB). Positive improvement still existed after 24 months. There was no difference in the therapeutic effect between face-to-face and online LSVT. The effectiveness of LSVT for dysarthria in patients with PD was verified in these trials. However, future RCTs with sufficient participants are essential to evaluate the effectiveness of LSVT for dysarthria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Flavocoxid is a prescription medical food used to manage osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms. Safety concerns based on case reports raised an association with acute liver injury and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. We determined incidence rates (IR) of these safety events in a cohort of new users of flavocoxid and prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). METHOD MarketScan® claims data (2006-2017) was used to identify patients initiating flavocoxid or NSAIDs. Propensity score matching (1:2 ratio) was used to balance patient characteristics. Outcomes included hospitalization for hypersensitivity pneumonitis, liver injury, gastrointestinal bleeding, myocardial infarction, and acute kidney injury. Poisson regression was used to calculate IRs and Cox regression for calculating adjusted hazard ratios (aHR). RESULTS 3,337 flavocoxid and 6,674 NSAID users met eligibility criteria. Before matching, flavocoxid users were older (mean 57 vs 51 years), had more polypharmacy (68% vs 29% taking ≥11 medications). After matching, characteristics were well balanced. The rate of hypersensitivity pneumonitis was 1.1 (95% CI 0.0-5.9) per 1,000 PY for flavocoxid and 0.0 (95% CI 0.0-2.2) for NSAIDs. For hospitalized liver injury, it was 3.2 (95% CI 0.7-9.3) for flavocoxid and 2.4 (95% CI 0.7-6.1) for NSAIDs, aHR = 1.16, 95% CI 0.23-6.01. A lower rate of GI bleed was observed, IR: 5.3 (1.7-12.3) for flavocoxid and 10.2 (5.9-16.3) for NSAIDs, aHR 0.49 (0.18-1.68). There were no significant differences for MI or AKI. CONCLUSION The rate of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and liver injury associated with flavocoxid was low and minimally elevated compared to NSAIDs. Flavocoxid users had a significantly lower risk for hospitalized GI bleeding. The risk-benefit profile of flavocoxid may warrant reevaluation in light of these findings.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is one of the most lethal cancers and needs effective therapeutics. The development of coordination-driven metal-organic nanoassemblies, which can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-brain tumor barrier (BBTB) and have multiple desired functions, may provide a promising solution to this issue. Here, we report an in situ assembled nanoplatform based on RGD peptide-modified bisulfite-zincII-dipicolylamine-Arg-Gly-Asp (Bis(DPA-Zn)-RGD) and ultrasmall Au-ICG nanoparticles. Attributed to its positive charges and neovascular targeting properties, Bis(DPA-Zn)-RGD can be selectively delivered to the tumor site, and then assembled in situ into large nanoclusters with subsequently administered Au-ICG nanoparticles. Au nanoparticles with ultrasmall size (∼7 nm) can successfully cross the BBB. The obtained nanoclusters exhibit strong near-infrared-red (NIR) absorption and an enhanced tumor retention effect, enabling precise orthotopic fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging. With the aid of image guidance, the photothermal effect of the nanoclusters is observed to suppress tumor progression with the inhibition efficiency reaching up to 93.9%. Meanwhile, no photothermal damage can be found for normal brain tissues. These results, herein, suggest a feasible nanotheranostic agent with the ability to overcome the BBB and BBTB for imaging and therapy of orthotopic brain tumors.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are at elevated risk for cardiovascular (CV) events, but risk stratification based on CV prediction models is not part of routine rheumatology practice.Objectives:To develop and validate a biomarker-based CV risk prediction model and compare it to alternative risk prediction models.Methods:We constructed a cohort of RA patients - age ≥40 with ≥1 RA diagnosis from a rheumatologist, excluding patients with malignancy, past myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke - by linking Medicare administrative data from 2006-2016 to multi-biomarker disease activity (MBDA) test results obtained as part of routine care. The cohort was split 2:1 to create training and internal validation datasets. The composite CV outcome was MI, stroke or CV death occurring within 3 years. Clinical predictors examined were: age, sex, race, traditional CV risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, high-risk CV conditions [e.g. angina]), RA-related factors (e.g. glucocorticoid use, MTX, number of prior biologics), adjusted MBDA score1and its 12 biomarkers, log-transformed. Backward elimination was used to remove predictors with p ≥0.05. The resulting CV risk score was compared to four prediction models (age+sex; age+sex+CRP; age+sex+diabetes+hypertension+ smoking+high risk CV [±CRP]) in the validation dataset. We evaluated: 1) incremental improvement in the likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic, 2) discrimination (AUROC), and 3) goodness-of-fit (predicted vs. observed, based on Kaplan-Meier estimates). Validation analyses were prespecified.Results:30,751 RA patients with 904 CV events were linked to MBDA test results and eligible for analysis. Patient characteristics were mean (SD) age 68.7 (9.5) years; 23.4% age <65; 82% women. Comorbidities included diabetes (39%), hypertension (78%), smoking (24%) and history of high-risk CV condition (37%). RA-related features included use of glucocorticoids (58%), MTX (60%), TNFi (33%) and other biologics (16%). Mean (SD) MBDA score was 41 (14). The final covariates included in the MBDA-based CV risk score were age, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, history of high-risk CV conditions, adjusted MBDA score, leptin, TNFRI and MMP-3. Median (IQR) of the predicted 3-year CV risk was 3.4% (2.1%, 5.6%). Based on extrapolation to 10-year risk, 9.4% of patients would be considered low, 10.2% borderline, 52.2% intermediate, and 28.2% high risk per 2019 ACC/AHA guidelines.Compared to four simpler CV prediction models, significant improvement in the LRT statistic was observed with the addition of the biomarker-based CV risk score (Figure 1). Model fit was good across deciles (Figure 2). The AUROC was 0.70. The MBDA-based model reclassified 28.5% of patients vs. the model based on age+sex+diabetes+hypertension +smoking+high risk CV+CRP.Figure 1.Incremental Improvement of MBDA-based CV Risk Score Compared to Other CV Risk Prediction ModelsFigure 2.MBDA-Based CV Risk Score Calibration for Composite CV Outcome at 3 YearsConclusion:A biomarker-based prediction score incorporating a few clinical risk factors appears to have good accuracy to predict CV risk in RA. Additional validation in independent cohorts will help verify its performance characteristics.References:[1] Curtis et al.,Rheumatology2018;58:874.Disclosure of Interests:Jeffrey Curtis Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Corrona, Janssen, Lilly, Myriad, Pfizer, Regeneron, Roche, UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Corrona, Janssen, Lilly, Myriad, Pfizer, Regeneron, Roche, UCB, Fenglong Xie: None declared, Cynthia S.

Abstract
Background:Clear characterization of how different types of patient-generated data reflect patient experience is needed to guide integration of electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) measures and biometrics in generating real-word evidence (RWE) related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Objectives:To characterize the level of participant (pt) engagement/adherence and data completeness in an ongoing study of 250 RA pts enrolled in the Digital Tracking of Arthritis Longitudinally (DIGITAL) study1of the ArthritisPower real-world registry.Methods:ArthritisPower pts with RA were invited to join a digital RWE study with 14-day lead-in and 12-week main study period. In the lead-in, pts were required to electronically complete: a) two daily single-item Pain and Fatigue numeric rating scales and b) longer weekly sets of ePROs. Successful completers of the lead-in were mailed a smartwatch (Fitbit Versa) and study materials. The smartwatch collected activity, heart rate, and sleep duration/quality biosensor data; a study-specific customization of the ArthritisPower mobile application collected ePROs. The main study period included automated and manual reminders/prompts about completing ePROs, wearing the smartwatch and regularly syncing it. Study coordinators monitored pt data and contacted pts via email, text and/or phone to resolve adherence issues during the conduct of the study based on pre-determined rules triggering pt contact. Rules were based chiefly on consecutive spans of missing data. Pts were considered adherent in giving complete data for each week if providing (1) daily ePROs for ≥5 of 7 days/week, (2) weekly ePROs and (3) ≥80% of synced activity data for ≥5 of 7 days/week. Composite adherence for the first month of the main study period required meeting >70% weekly adherence parameters during the first 30 days, ie completing daily ePROs for ≥5 of 7 days/week, weekly ePROs ≥3 of 4 weeks and ≥80% of synced activity data for ≥5 of 7 days/week.Results:As of December 2019, 170 ArthritisPower members enrolled and completed at least 30 days of the main study period; 92.9% female with mean (SD) age 52.5 (10.7) and 10.5 (10.4) years since diagnosis. The overall conversion rate from initial interest to successful completion of the lead-in period was 49.0%. Pts who advanced to the main study were significantly more likely than those who did not to be currently employed (52.9% vs. 41.8%, p=0.038) and be on biologic DMARD monotherapy (64.7% vs. 47.5%, p=0.001). Overall, daily ePRO data had the lowest adherence with 70.0% of pts providing >70% of the requested data consistently across the first 30 days of the main study period (Figure 1). Composite adherence was met by 66.5% of pts. The most common time of day to provide ePRO data was morning, in the hours around scheduled app and email notifications at 10 a.m. in pt’s local time zone. Activity data had the highest adherence and persistence, with 92.9% of pts providing 80% or more of activity data for each 24-hour period in the first 30 days (Figures 1 & 2). Observed weekly adherence did not decline over time. Of 5100 possible person days in the study at day 30, we observed 643 days (91.0% of actual to maximum possible total patient days) where activity data was provided for at least 80% of the 24-hour period.Conclusion:RWE studies involving passive data collection in RA require pt-centric implementation and design to minimize pt burden, promote longitudinal engagement and maximize adherence. Passive data capture via activity trackers such as smartwatches, along with regular contact such as automated reminders, may facilitate greater pt adherence in providing longitudinal data for clinical trials.References:[1]Nowell WB, et al.

Abstract
Background:Methotrexate (MTX) is frequently used in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) because of its beneficial effects in both populations1-3. Despite the well-known benefits of MTX, it is associated with a number of potential side effects4-6These include nausea and fatigue, are often temporally related to the timing of weekly MTX administration, and can be severe. The combined patient-reported side effects, along with potential of long-term toxicity, may make use of MTX more burdensome. Currently, there is a gap in patient-centered studies that focus on patients’ experience with MTX.Objectives:Examine patient temporal experience of fatigue and nausea relating to oral MTX therapy for the treatment of RA and PsA.Methods:Adult US patients in the ArthritisPower registry with self-reported RA or PsA taking MTX for less than 10 years were invited to participate in the study via email invitation. Participants (pts) completed a screener and brief online survey. In an ancillary study to the ArthritisPower registry and using a self-controlled case series study design where pts serve as their own control to avoid between-person confounding, pts were asked to complete a set of up to 8 assessments within 6-36 hours (‘risk’) and 96-144 hours (‘control’) after taking their oral dose of MTX each week, for up to 4 weeks. Risk and control windows were selected based on the expected temporal relationship between MTX use and peak onset of these symptoms. Assessments included PROMIS short forms for same-day Fatigue, same-day Nausea/Vomiting, and Patient Global. Descriptive statistics were conducted using paired t-tests two-way comparisons. Within-person change in PROMIS scores between the risk (1-2 days after MTX) and control (4-6 days after MTX) windows were analyzed using mixed models for repeated measures, stratified on whether pts reported fatigue or nausea with MTX at baseline. Recruitment for this study is ongoing.Results:As of December 2019, 91 pts had participated, of whom 76.9% were living with RA and 28.6% with PsA, with mean baseline PROMIS Patient Global score (SD) of 39.5 (7.1). Mean age (SD) was 50.9 (12.0) years, 84.6% female, 92.3% White, with mean BMI 33.7 (8.8). Mean duration of MTX treatment among current users was 2.1 (2.8) years. Among pts, 41.8% were on a biologic DMARD and 58.2% on non-biologic DMARDs only. Among pts reporting baseline nausea (n=30, 33.0%) where paired within-week measures were observed (n=64 observations among 20 pts), the mean increase in the PROMIS Nausea score was 4.5 units (adjusted p=0.003). Among those reporting MTX-associated fatigue (n=39, 42.9%) as a side effect of MTX on their baseline survey where paired within-week measures were observed (n=96 observations among 28 pts), the mean increase in PROMIS Fatigue was 4.7 (adjusted p=0.004) units. In those pts, the proportion of pts with worsened nausea and fatigue with minimally important difference of >5 units7-8was 40.0% (nausea), and 60.7% (fatigue) [Figures 1 and 2].Conclusion:People taking MTX to manage RA or PsA commonly experience bothersome side effects, notably fatigue and nausea, that are temporally related to weekly MTX dosing. In this sample, one-third or more of pts were bothered by nausea or fatigue shortly after MTX dosing, many of them with clinically meaningful symptoms.References:[1]Singh JA, et al.Arthritis Rheumatol. 2016;68:1-26.[2]Singh JA, et al.Arthritis Rheumatol. 2019;71:5-32.[3]Mease P.Bull NYU Hosp Jt Dis. 2013;71.(suppl 1):S41.[4]Wang W, et al.Eur J Med Chem. 2018;158:502-516.[5]Wilsdon TD, et al.Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2019;1:CD012722.[6]Husted JA, et al.Ann Rheum Dis. 2009;68:1553-1558.[7]Norman GR, et al.Med Care. 2003;41:582-92.[8]Bingham CO, et al.J Patient Rep Outcomes. 2019;3:14.Disclosure of Interests:W.
