Abstract
A newly developed wearable balance diagnosis and treatment system was studied to evaluate the indexes of the abnormal balance function in patients with vestibular vertigo. A cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 30 patients diagnosed with non-acute vestibular vertigo in the outpatient department of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from July 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the vertigo group, including 13 males and 17 females, and aged (45.7±13.9) years. Meanwhile, 20 healthy controls (8 males and 12 females) were included as the control group, with a mean age of (43.6±8.0) years. The static balance and limits of stability (LOS) function of all subjects were assessed with wearable balance diagnosis and treatment system developed under the leadership of Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University. In the static balance test, the ratio of eyes open with cushions to eyes open without cushions in the vertigo group was less than that of the control group[1.20% (0.92%, 1.53%) vs 1.49% (1.22%, 1.81%), P=0.008], indicating that patients with non-acute vestibular vertigo may compensate static balance ability earlier. In vertigo group, the directional control in 8 directions, the maximum excursion in anterior, posterior, right anterior and right posterior directions, the endpoint excursion in the posterior, right posterior, and left posterior directions were all smaller than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The reaction time in the left posterior direction of vertigo group was longer than that of the control group (all P<0.05). Those results indicated that the directional control, maximum excursion and endpoint excursion of LOS could be considered as important reference indexes for dynamic balance function.

Abstract
Objective: To study the whole bone marrow cellular composition of jaw and long bones, and further analyze the heterogeneity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from these two tissue, aiming at exploring the differences in functional characteristics of bone MSCs from different lineage sources. Methods: The Seurat package of R language was used to analyze the mandibular and femur whole bone marrow single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets in the literature, and the subpopulations were annotated by reference to the marker genes reported by previous studies. The differentially expressed genes between mandible-derived MSCs (M-MSCs) and femur-derived MSCs (F-MSCs) were calculated, and cell-cell communication analysis between M-MSCs or F-MSCs with other cell populations was performed. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed on up-regulated and down-regulated differentially expressed genes of M-MSCs, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed on M-MSCs or F-MSCs. Results: cRNA-seq analysis showed that the mandible and femur had the same bone marrow cell composition, but there were differences in the proportion of specific cell populations. Also, there were significantly differentially expressed genes between M-MSCs and F-MSCs. In addition, cell-cell communication analysis revealed differences in numbers of ligand-receptor pairs between M-MSCs or F-MSCs with other cell populations. Furthermore, GO, KEGG and GSEA analysis showed that M-MSCs had higher extracellular matrix production potential than F-MSCs, but had lower ability to regulate other cells in the bone marrow, especially immune cells. Conclusions: M-MSCs and F-MSCs showed distinct differences in the gene expression pattern and up-regulated signaling pathways, which may be closely related to the developmental sources and functional characteristics of jaw and long bones.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of children with early-onset necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) undergoing enterostomy and analyze the risk factors for postoperative complications. Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data (perinatal conditions, clinical characteristics, clinical outcomes, etc.) of NEC patients who underwent enterostomy at Beijing Children's Hospital from May 2016 to May 2023. The patients were divided into two groups based on the age of onset: an early-onset enterostomy group (<14 days) and a late-onset enterostomy group (≥14 days). Furthermore, the children with NEC were categorized into complication group and non-complication group based on whether there were complications after enterostomy. The differences in clinical data between these groups were analyzed, and the clinical characteristics of children with early-onset NEC and enterostomy were summarized. Multivariate logistic regression model was employed to analyze the risk factors for postoperative complications in NEC children with enterostomy. Results: A total of 68 cases were enrolled, including 43 cases in the early-onset enterostomy group [26 males and 17 females, aged (6.5±3.0) days] and 25 cases in the late-onset enterostomy group [15 males and 10 females, aged (21.0±3.0) days]. There were 28 cases (17 males and 11 females), age [M (Q1, Q3)] 9 (5, 14) days in the complication group and 33 cases (22 males and 11 females), aged of 14 (6, 21) days in the non-complication group. Compared to the late-onset enterostomy group, the early-onset enterostomy group had significantly higher rates of intraventricular hemorrhage [30.2% (13/43) vs 8.0% (2/25)], hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus [37.2% (16/43) vs 12.0% (3/25)], mechanical ventilation≥72 hours after birth [39.5% (17/43) vs 16.0% (4/25)], stage Ⅲ NEC [(69.8% (30/43) vs 40.0% (10/25)], extensive NEC [27.9% (12/43) vs 8.0% (2/25)], and short-term postoperative complications [56.8% (21/37) vs 29.2% (7/24)] (all P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression model analysis revealed that residual length of proximal small intestine was a protective factor for postoperative complications after enterostomy in NEC infants (OR=0.764, 95%CI: 0.648-0.901, P=0.001), but stage Ⅲ NEC was a risk factor (OR=1.042, 95%CI: 1.004-5.585, P=0.017). Conclusions: The incidence of postoperative complications is high, and the prognosis is poor in children with early-onset NEC enterostomy. The residual length of proximal enterostomy is a protective factor for postoperative complications of NEC enterostomy, but stage Ⅲ NEC is a risk factor.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The excessive modulation of treatment plan during radiotherapy (RT) increases the complexity. Evaluation of the multidimensional relationship between program complexity metrics, computation-based patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA), and conventional measurement-based PSQA could assist in enhancing the robustness of treatment planning, guide the allocation of clinical QA resources, and ultimately lessen QA workload. MATERIALS/METHODS The fifty-five metrics affecting RT planning and delivery accuracy were calculated by a house-built program to describe the complexity of 404 dynamic IMRT plans, with sensitivity to the small field, aperture position, MLC edge, low MUs, MLC leaf motion, leaf speed/acceleration, etc. The calculation-based PSQA was performed using Monte Carlo (MC) method and Collapsed Cone Convolution (CCC) algorithm, implemented in SciMoCa and Mobius 3D, respectively. The measurement-based PSQA was performed using 3D diode arrays with different geometries covering "O", "+" and " × " shapes which exist in ArcCheck, Delta4 phantom+ (Delta4) and Delta4PT phantom (Delta4PT), respectively. Gamma passing rates (GPRs) were recorded to measure the results of each QA system. This multidimensional relationship was evaluated using correlation analysis and principal component linear regression (PCR) analysis. RESULTS A total of 4448 GPRs for various QA systems corresponding to two Linacs were counted. The modulation index for speed (MIs) and modulation index for acceleration (MIa) were consistently located at the high points of the radarplots of the Spearman correlation coefficient |rs| between metrics and GPRs of the four QA systems, just except Delta4. Besides, the rs between SciMoCa and ArcCheck were 0.275-0.531 (P ≤ 0.001), SciMoCa and Delta4 were 0.32-0.418 (P ≤ 0.001), and Mobius 3Dand Delta4PT were 0.124-0.226 (P ≤ 0.05). The PCR model's coefficients determination (R2) for SciMoCa were 0.461-0.756 (P ≤ 0.001), ArcCheck were 0.243-0.440 (P ≤ 0.001), Delta4 were 0.268-0.402 (P ≤ 0.001), Mobius 3D were 0.299-0.407 (P ≤ 0.001), and Delta4PT were 0.087-0.141 (P ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSION This study is the first overall assessment of the impact of various complexity metrics on the accuracy of TPS calculation and Linac delivery. Of the metrics studied, MIs and MIa metrics have a standout impact on the ability of the TPS calculation and delivery system, extra attention should be paid during the planning process. It is inappropriate to utilize calculation-based QA to predict the results of measurement-based QA since there is a poor correlation between the two. Furthermore, calculation-based QA outperforms measurement-based QA in identifying highly complex plans, which can further guide clinical QA process optimization and save limited clinical resources.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) For lung cancer patients with complex conditions, doctors need to determine treatment plan in combination with changes of immune response during radiotherapy. It was urgent to find a strategy to predict immune response to intervene the treatment at an early stage. MATERIALS/METHODS The radiotherapy process and tumor microenvironment status of 105 lung cancer patients were tracked and recorded in our hospital from 2019 to 2022, public database TCGA-LUAD/LUSC queue of TCIA image data was downloaded as external verification set. Data was analyzed according to the following methods: First, the 3D slicer software was used to process the CT imageomics data, and the doseomics information was calculated by DVHmetrics package from R software. Then Python was brought in to develop a non-invasive radiation scoring system through machine learning methods (T-test, LASSO, random forest and Xgboost). Finally, combined with the clinical information related to the patient's immune response, a nomogram was made to study the correlation between the score markers and the ratio of CD4 cells/CD8 cells in the tumor microenvironment, the prognosis of lung cancer, as well as the incidence of radiation pneumonia. RESULTS The radiation markers score formula was obtained with CT imageomics and DVH dosimics features, which achieved an AUC of 0.67-0.75 in predicting CD4/CD8 condition in tumor microenvironment after radiotherapy. It was worth noticing that in predicting the prognosis of lung cancer, it was difficult to distinguish between the radiation score and the patient's survival status (P>0.05). However, we found that the radiation pneumonitis of lung cancer patients in the low score group (42.6%) was significantly higher than that in the high score group (13.4%). CONCLUSION Radiation markers score was a non-invasive method to evaluate the immune response of patients with lung cancer, which can be used to predict the incidence of radiation pneumonitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) SGRT has been demonstrated as a promising supplement to CBCT in adjuvant breast cancer radiotherapy, but a rational combination mode is lacking in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to explore this mode and investigate its impact on setup and dose accuracy. MATERIALS/METHODS Both daily SGRT and weekly CBCT images were acquired for 23 breast cancer patients receiving conventional fractionated radiotherapy after lumpectomy. Based on the scanning frequencies and time intervals of CBCT, sixteen modes were acquired by randomly selecting one (CBCT1), two (CBCTij), three (CBCTijk), four (CBCTijkl), and five (CBCT12345) images from the patient's off-line CBCT images for fusion with SGRT. Due to TPS system limitations, the 6D SGRT setup errors were transformed into 3D deviations in the translational directions, and the CTV-PTV margins, the dose coverage (V95%) of PTV and CTV, and the OAR doses (the ipsilateral lung's V5, V10, V20, and Dmean, the contralateral breast's V3 and Dmean, and the heart's Dmean and Dmax) were calculated based on the 3D deviations with different regions of interest (ROIs). Dose correlations between these modalities were investigated using Pearson and Spearman's methods. RESULTS For the ipsilateral breast ROI, the larger SGRT errors in the AP direction and higher target doses were found in all modes compared to the whole breast ROI (P < 0.05). In the ipsilateral ROI, the CTV-PTV margins decreased as CBCT frequencies increased, reaching approximately 5 mm for CBCTijkl and CBCT12345. The decline of Σ (systematic errors) was greater than the decline of σ (random errors), and it contributed more to the decline of margins. For the same frequency, the CBCT time intervals had essentially little influence on the errors and margins. Compared with other directions, the margins in the SI direction were the largest for all modes except for CBCT124 and CBCT125. The target dose correlations between all modes increased with increasing CBCT time intervals, decreased and then increased with increasing CBCT frequencies, with the turning point observed at week 5 of CBCT participation. The dose deviations in CBCT123, CBCT124, CBCT125, CBCTijkl, and CBCT12345 were minimal and not significantly different (P > 0.05). There was excellent agreement in CBCT124 vs. CBCT1234, and (CBCTijkl, CBCT12345) vs. CBCT125 in determining the classification for the percentage of PTV deviation (Kappa = 0.775-0.901). The frequencies and time intervals of CBCT had little effect on the OAR doses. For all modes, there were strong correlations (R > 0.9) in the OAR doses between different modes, except for the ipsilateral lung's V20 and Dmean (R = 0.734-0.987). CONCLUSION Based on weekly CBCT, these modes with the ipsilateral breast ROI and a combination of daily SGRT and CBCT frequencies of ≥ 3 were recommended, and the CBCT was required at weeks 1 and 2. Considering the additional radiation, time consumption, and expensive cost of CBCT, modes CBCT124 and CBCT125 could replace the modes with higher CBCT frequencies.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Patient-specific quality assurance (QA) prediction before treatment is beneficial to the clinical resource allocation and the dosimetric monitoring of the patient plans. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of complexity metrics of radiotherapy plan and patient planning dose to predict QA result, gamma passing rates and dose-volume indices deviation. MATERIALS/METHODS Planning dose from treatment planning system (TPS), reconstructed dose from a vendor provided QA phantom and complexity metrics of the 499 radiotherapy plans of patients in our institution from March 2022 to September 2022 were used for methodology verification. Gamma passing rate (3%/2mm,10% threshold) 90% was regarded as criterion of QA pass or fail. A deep learning model ResNet-50 was modified to 3D dose processing and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) with three layers were adopted to extract features from 3D dose and 1D metrics in two parallel ways, then, the features were concatenate together to predict QA results. The dataset was split into 349 for train, 50 for validation and 100 for testing. Evaluation of predictions was based on absolute value deviation and area under the curves (AUC) of receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS In this dataset, 71% (355/499) plans pass the pretreatment QA test. For QA passing prediction in 100 testing cases, the AUC of ROC could achieve 0.92. For gamma passing rates prediction, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.8% could be observed for cases with gamma passing rates bigger than 90%, and a MAE of 4.5% deviation could be observed for cases with gamma passing rates from 80% to 90%. For PTV ΔD95 (%) and PTV ΔHI (%), the MAE of prediction and ground truth is 1%. The model with only complexity metrics and only 3D dose could achieve the AUC of ROC 0.91 and 0.84, respectively. CONCLUSION The complexity metrics and 3D planning dose-based model could predict pretreatment patient specific QA results with high accuracy and the complexity metrics play a leading role in the model. Dose-volume metrics deviations of PTV could be predicted and more clinically useful information could be provided.

The technology not only reduces the time and money spent on CT scans, but also eliminates the cumbersome CT-MR registration. The feasibility in Stereotactic Brain Radiotherapy has been analyzed in previous studies by our team. However, when the prescribed requirements are not met, IMRT/VMAT are still selected. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of pseudo-CT in IMRT/VMAT for brain cancer via the following 5 aspects: (1) image difference, (2) dose accuracy, (3) radiomics feature, (4) efficacy assessment, and (5) correlation analysis. MATERIALS/METHODS Brain tumor patients who had received radiotherapy at our institution and had planning MRI and CT were included in the study. Redesign of IMRT and VMAT radiotherapy plans according to 3 × 15Gy for each patient. Hounsfield unit (HU) values for PTV and OARs were used to assess image differences. And dose accuracy analysis contained a 2D dose volume histogram (DVH) metrics (Dmax, Dmean, D2%, D50%, D98%, HI, CI) and 3D gamma metrics (criteria: 1-3%/2mm, 1%/1mm, 10% threshold). Then 107 original image features of PTV and OARs were extracted for radiometry analysis. And tumor control probability (TCP) of PTV (Poisson model) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of OARs (Lyman-Kutcher-Burman model) were used for the variance analysis of efficacy assessment. Wilcox-test was used for significance of differences test (0.05), and spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the key features of the dose bias. RESULTS A total of 42 patients were included, with 42 planning CTs and pseudo-CTs (mDixon-T1), and 38 pseudo-CTs (mDixon-T1-CE). The median volume of PTV was 4.1 cc (range 0.5-27.3), with no significant differences in HU, DVH, 3D gamma, and NTCP/TCP metrics. The median local gamma passing rates (1%/1mm) between planning CTs and pseudo-CTs (mDixon-T1) were 93.1% (range 65.5%-99.7%, IMRT) and 93.3% (range 63.9%-99.6%, VMAT). And more than 85% original radiomics features have significant difference. Further, the feature HU-Min was found to be more correlated with dose metrics in the correlation analysis. We speculate that it may be caused by the smoothing of the low frequency signal before outputting image. And since Shape_MeshVolume, Shape_VoxelVolume and PTV volume difference are highly correlated with dose deviation, it indicates that dose deviation affected by CT-MR registration. CONCLUSION This study has the potential to provide guidance for the clinical application of pseudo-CT in the MRI-Only workflow with IMRT/VMAT for brain tumors. These quantitative results strongly indicate pseudo-CT can be used as a substitute for the initial CT in IMRT/VMAT for small brain lesions (size <5 cm, numbers <5), but not for radiomics analysis. Additionally, the impact of inter-image differences on dose accuracy is less significant compared to the deviation caused by image registration.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Brain metastases (BM) are a very common metastatic site in lung cancer, but the exact rate of metastasis is still controversial. Risk factors for BM development are also largely lacking, hampering personalized treatment strategies. This study aimed to identify the incidence and possible risk factors for BM in lung cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS A systematic review, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guide-lines, was conducted using PubMed, Medline databases and Cochrane Library databases from inception until February 2023. Two investigators independently searched and selected literature, included in randomized controlled trials and cohort studies. Heterogeneity was assessed using the χ2 test and the I2 statistic. Significant heterogeneity was indicated by P <0.05 in Cochrane Q tests and a ratio greater than 40% in I2 statistics. The review is registered on PROSPERO, number: CRD42022370173. RESULTS Forty-nine studies were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that the incidence rate of BM in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was 0.24 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23-0.25; I2 = 97.1%). The incidence rate in early NSCLC was 0.11 (95% CI: 0.10-0.13), locally advanced NSCLC was 0.32 (95% CI: 0.29-0.34), and advanced NSCLC was 0.37 (95% CI: 0.35-0.38). Lung adenocarcinoma was more prone to BM in NSCLC (risk ratio [RR] = 3.59, 95% CI: 1.97-6.54; P<0.001). The BM rate of NSCLC with EGFR mutation was also higher (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.14-1.94; P = 0.004). Sex and smoking had no significant effect on the incidence of BM in NSCLC. Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) could significantly reduce BM in NSCLC (HR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.23-0.56; P<0.001), but chemotherapy had no obvious effect on decreasing the rate of BM (HR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.54-1.54; P = 0.73). The incidence rate of BM in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) was 0.28 (95% CI: 0.27-0.30; I2 = 95.9%), and 0.23 (95% CI: 0.20-0.25) in the limited-stage SCLC. Older age (≥65) (HR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.54-0.92; P = 0.01) were associated with less BM in SCLC. A higher T stage (≥T3) (HR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.16-2.56; P = 0.007) was a significant risk factor for BM, while sex, smoking dose were not. PCI could also significantly decreased BM in SCLC (HR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.38-0.58; P<0.001). CONCLUSION This study is the first meta-analysis of BM incidence rate in lung cancer, and further explores the factors affecting BM, providing some suggestions for clinical decision-making of BM prevention in patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Plan validation in radiotherapy includes pre-treatment and in-treatment validation. It is feasible to leverage plan complexity to optimize validation processes, because some research reports that the consistency between planning and measurement or execution decreases as plan complexity increases. Therefore, starting from the plan complexity, this study comprehensively and systematically explores these factors affecting whether the plan verification is passed or not and the strength of their correlations, so as to establish a regression model and optimize the verification process. MATERIALS/METHODS The IMRT and model-based validation information were retrospectively collected for patients who received tumor radiotherapy at our institution from January 2020 to May 2022. The seventy-eight metrics characterizing the plan complexity were calculated and checked for each plan by an in-house developed computing platform. The comparisons of plan verification results under different tumor species and different verification methods were carried out, and the plan complexity metrics was also compared. Subsequently, Spearman correlation analysis between plan complexity and plan validation under different tumor species, different verification methods and different evaluation indexes was analyzed to provide the basis for regression analysis. RESULTS One thousand two hundred twenty-six patients were enrolled in the study. The plans in Eclipse TPS were performed by Varian Edge and iX linear accelerators and their verification were executed by EPID, Delat4, and ArcCheck. The gamma index under evaluation index of 3%/3mm, 3%/2mm, 2%/2mm, 1%/1mm were respectively 97.4% (7.1%), 94.8% (10.9%), 86.1% (20.1%), 50.7% (22.6%). The γ and DD of EPID and Detla4 decreased with the increase of TH, and the change of DD was the most significant, while the DTA of Detla4 did not change significantly with TH, and the passing rate of DTA and γ in thoracic and abdominal was the highest in ArcCheck group. Contrast and Variance were the most different between tumor types. The pelvic MIs and MIa were larger than those planned for the other three sites. Except for head and neck CLS and MD, other metrics did not vary significantly among tumor species. The correlation between the metrics characterizing the static characteristics of leaves was more significant for head and neck tumors; the correlation between metrics characterizing the flux complexity were significantly different in pelvic. There was a correlation between plan complexity and γ indicators, and the overall strength was ArcCheck > EPID > Delta4 for head and neck, Delta4 > EPID and ArcCheck for thorax-abdomen, Delta4 and EPID > ArcCheck for pelvic, Delta4 > ArcCheck > EPID for arms and legs. CONCLUSION There was a correlation between different plan complexity metrics. Based on this study, it is feasible to predict the verification results based on these complexity metrics, but the regression models were respectively established according to tumor types and validation methods.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of sepsis development and death in patients with extremely severe burns. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted. From January 2017 to December 2021, 135 patients with extremely severe burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burn and Wound Repair of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, including 100 males and 35 females, aged 18-84 years. The incidence and diagnosis time of sepsis, the rate of positive microbial culture of blood samples (hereinafter referred to as positive blood culture), and the mortality rate of all patients, as well as the incidence of sepsis and the pathogen of infection in patients with positive blood culture were recorded (statistically analyzed with chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability test). According to the occurrence of sepsis, all patients were divided into sepsis group (58 cases) and non-sepsis group (77 cases), and the gender, age, body mass index, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, combination of inhalation injury, burn site, burn type, total burn area, and combined injury of patients were compared between the two groups. According to the outcome, all patients were divided into death group (37 cases) and survival group (98 cases), and the aforementioned data grouped according to sepsis as well as the stability of shock period and the combination of sepsis of patients were compared between the two groups. The aforementioned data between two groups were statistically analyzed with univariate analysis of independent sample t test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, or Fisher's exact probability test. Factors with P<0.1 were selected for multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen independent risk factors of sepsis and death in patients with extremely severe burns. Results: Among all patients, the incidence of sepsis was 42.96% (58/135), the diagnosis time of sepsis was 14 (7, 24) d after injury, the positive blood culture rate was 62.22% (84/135), and the mortality rate was 27.41% (37/135). The incidence of sepsis of patients with positive blood culture was 69.05% (58/84). The top 5 pathogenic bacteria in the detection rate of septic patients with positive blood culture were Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterobacter cloacae, ranking from high to low, and the proportion of Acinetobacter baumannii infected was significantly higher than that of non-septic patients with positive blood culture (χ2=7.49, P<0.05). Compared with those in non-sepsis group, the proportion of combination of inhalation injury, the proportion of perineal burns, and the total burn area of patients in sepsis group increased significantly (with χ2 values of 11.08 and 17.47, respectively, Z=5.68, P<0.05), while the other indicators did not change significantly (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that combination of inhalation injury, total burn area ≥80% total body surface area (TBSA), and perineal burns were independent risk factors for patients with extremely severe burns developing sepsis (with odds ratios of 3.15, 7.24, and 3.24, respectively, with 95% confidence intervals of 1.07 to 9.29, 1.79 to 29.34, and 1.21 to 8.68, respectively, P<0.05). Compared with those in survival group, the proportion of combination of inhalation injury, the proportion of perineal burns, and the proportion of combination of sepsis (with χ2 values of 6.55, 11.64, and 22.26, respectively, P values all <0.05), total burn area (Z=4.25, P<0.05), and proportion of instability of shock period (P<0.05) of patients in death group all increased significantly, while the other indicators did not change significantly (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the instability of shock period and combination of sepsis were independent risk factors for death of patients with extremely severe burns (with odds ratios of 4.87 and 3.45, respectively, with 95% confidence intervals of 1.21 to 19.57 and 1.28 to 9.33, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions: Patients with extremely severe burns have a high incidence of sepsis and a high mortality rate. The peak period of sepsis onset is 2 weeks after injury, with Acinetobacter baumannii as the most prominent infectious pathogen. Combination of inhalation injury, total burn area ≥80% TBSA, and perineal burns are independent risk factors for extremely severe burn patients complicated with sepsis, and combination of sepsis and instability of shock period are independent risk factors for death of patients with extremely severe burns.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival is a key metric of the effectiveness of a health system in managing cancer. We set out to provide a comprehensive examination of worldwide variation and trends in survival from brain tumors in adults, by histology. METHODS We analyzed individual data for adults (15-99 years) diagnosed with a brain tumor (ICD-O-3 topography code C71) during 2000-2014, regardless of tumor behavior. Data underwent a 3-phase quality control as part of CONCORD-3. We estimated net survival for 11 histology groups, using the unbiased nonparametric Pohar Perme estimator. RESULTS The study included 556,237 adults. In 2010-2014, the global range in age-standardized 5-year net survival for the most common sub-types was broad: in the range 20%-38% for diffuse and anaplastic astrocytoma, from 4% to 17% for glioblastoma, and between 32% and 69% for oligodendroglioma. For patients with glioblastoma, the largest gains in survival occurred between 2000-2004 and 2005-2009. These improvements were more noticeable among adults diagnosed aged 40-70 years than among younger adults. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the largest account to date of global trends in population-based survival for brain tumors by histology in adults. We have highlighted remarkable gains in 5-year survival from glioblastoma since 2005, providing large-scale empirical evidence on the uptake of chemoradiation at population level. Worldwide, survival improvements have been extensive, but some countries still lag behind. Our findings may help clinicians involved in national and international tumor pathway boards to promote initiatives aimed at more extensive implementation of clinical guidelines.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the safety of an inactivated 2019-nCoV vaccine (Vero cell) in adults aged 60 years and older. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study was conducted in May 2020 The eligible residents aged 60 and above were recruited in Renqiu city, Hebei Province. A total of 422 subjects (phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ:72/350) were enrolled. Two doses of the trial vaccine or placebo were randomly administered according to a 0 and 28-day immunization schedule. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups in Phase Ⅰ. Within each group, participants received vaccine or placebo in a ratio of 2∶1. Subjects were randomly divided into four groups in phase Ⅱ to receive low-dose, medium-dose, high-dose vaccine and placebo, respectively, in a ratio of 2∶2∶2∶1. A combination of regular follow-up and active reporting was used to observe adverse reactions within 28 days after vaccination, and compare the incidence rate of adverse reactions in the trial and control groups. Results: 422 subjects were (66.45±4.70) years old, and 48.82% were male (206/422). There were 100, 124, 124 and 74 patients enrolled into the low-dose, medium-dose, high-dose vaccine groups and the placebo group, respectively. One person without the vaccination was removed, and 421 participants who received at least one dose of vaccine were included in the safety analysis. Within 28 days after the first or second dose, a total of 20.67% (87/421) subjects had adverse reactions (both solicitation and non-solicitation). About 76 patients suffered grade 1 adverse reactions [18.05% (76/421)] and 22 patients suffered grade 2 adverse reactions [5.23% (22/421)]. No grade 3 or above adverse reactions occurred. A total of 19.71% (83/421) subjects had solicited adverse reactions. The most common grade 1 adverse reaction was injection site pain, followed by fever and fatigue. The most common grade 2 adverse reactions were fever and fatigue, followed by muscle pain and injection site redness. A total of 2.61% (11/421) subjects had unsolicited adverse reactions. A total of 1.66% (7/421) subjects had serious adverse events after vaccination, and no serious vaccine-related adverse events were reported. Conclusions: The inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is safe for people aged 60 years and above.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the changes of γ-GCS mRNA expression and GSH-PX in serum of workers exposed to manganese in order to provide scientific basis for early diagnosis of manganese poisoning. Methods: In June 2017, a total of 180 workers from a motorcycle manufacturer were selected by stratified random sampling, including 115 welders as the exposure group and 65 administrative office workers as the Control Group, the exposure group was divided into high exposure group (43 persons) and low exposure group (72 persons) according to whether the exposure group exceeded the standard limit. The levels of γ-gcs Mrna expression and GSH-Px activity in serum were determined by Occupational Health Survey, and the differences of γ-gcs Mrna expression and GSH-Px activity among different groups were analyzed. Results: Compared with the control group, the serum GSH-Px activity was lower and the serum γ-GCS mRNA expression level was higher in the exposed group (F=370.52, 275.95, P<0.01) . Compared with the control group, there was significant difference in γ-GCS mRNA expression level and GSH-Px activity (F=0.475、1.06, P<0.01; F=48.53、111.70, P<0.01) . The concentrations of manganese in air, welding dust and urine were positively correlated with the level of γ-GCS mRNA (r=0.71, 0.50, 0.31, P<0.01) The serum GSH-Px activity was negatively correlated with the concentrations of manganese in air, welding dust and urine (r=-0.80, -0.52, -0.30, P< 0.01) , There was no correlation between Serum γ-GSH-Px activity and age and years of exposure (P>0.05) . Conclusion: Serum γ-GCS mRNA expression level and GSH-Px activity level can be used as early biomarkers of manganese poisoning. The concentrations of manganese in workplace air, welding dust and urine manganese in workers are the influencing factors.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of neonatal tracheotomy in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 14 neonates admitted to NICU of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to August 2021, and were<28 days of age on admission, who met the criteria of tracheotomy and finally completed the procedure. The clinical characteristics including age, weight, duration of ventilation, etiology of tracheotomy, length of hospital stay and prognosis were summarized and analyzed. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the weight gain velocity and the duration of ventilation before and after tracheotomy. Paired t-test was used to compare the hospitalization length before and after tracheotomy. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the clinical characteristics and outcomes. Results: For the 14 neonates, the gestational age was (38±4) weeks and birth weight was (2 824±949) g. Nine of them were male. The age on transportation was 16 (6, 25) d. A total of 10 neonates were on invasive ventilation on admission, the other 4 were on nasal continuous positive airway pressure support. Bilateral vocal cord paralysis (7 cases) was the commonest cause of tracheotomy. The age on operation was 33 (22, 44) d. There were statistically significant differences in duration of ventilation and weight gain velocity before and after operation (19.00 (10.50, 34.00) vs. 0.86 (0.06, 3.25) d, 1.66 (-0.16, 5.54) vs. 4.69 (2.30, 9.32) g/(kg·d), Z=3.01 and -1.98, both P<0.05). The total hospital stay in NICU was (37±12) d. One neonate died during hospitalization. The existence of pneumonia on admission was positively correlated to NICU stay length (r=0.57, P=0.027), the pre-operational weight gain velocity was negatively correlated to the post-operational NICU stay length (r=-0.73, P=0.020). There were 4 neonates de-cannulated during 7-38 months after the tracheotomy, and 5 neonates still wearing the tracheal cannulation during 15-66 months after the tracheotomy. Two neonates died and 2 neonates lost follow-up after discharge. All neonates could not vocalize normally before de-cannulation, and the language development obviously lagged behind the normal age group after de-cannulation. Conclusions: Bilateral vocal cord paralysis is the commonest cause of neonatal tracheotomy. The benefit of tracheotomy for NICU neonates with surgical indications is obvious, especially in facilitating extubation and improving weight gain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pembrolizumab demonstrated a clinically meaningful objective response rate in patients with previously treated, advanced MSI-H/dMMR endometrial cancer in the multicohort phase 2 KEYNOTE-158 study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02628067). We present health-related quality of life (HRQoL) results for these patients. METHODS This analysis included patients from cohorts D (endometrial cancer with any MSI status) and K (any MSI-H/dMMR solid tumor except colorectal) who had previously treated, advanced MSI-H/dMMR endometrial cancer. Patients received pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for 35 cycles. EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D-3L questionnaires were administered at baseline, at regular intervals during treatment, and 30 days after treatment discontinuation. Pre-specified exploratory analyses included changes from baseline to week 9 in QLQ-C30 global health status (GHS)/QoL and EQ-5D-3L visual analog scale (VAS) score for all patients and by best overall response. RESULTS 84 of 90 enrolled patients completed ≥1 HRQoL questionnaire and were included in the analysis. QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D-3L compliance rates were 90% and 94%, respectively, at baseline, and 92% and 93% at week 9. Mean (95% CI) QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL scores improved from baseline to week 9 by 6.08 (0.71-11.46) points in the overall population, with greater improvement in patients who achieved complete or partial response (11.67 [5.33-18.00]-point increase). Mean (95% CI) EQ-5D-3L VAS scores improved by 6.00 (2.25-9.75) points in the overall population and 9.11 (5.24-12.98) points in patients with CR/PR. CONCLUSIONS Pembrolizumab maintained or improved HRQoL in patients with previously treated, advanced MSI-H/dMMR endometrial cancer, further supporting efficacy and safety results from KEYNOTE-158 and pembrolizumab use in this setting.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy of lung transplantation for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) patients and to improve the understanding of the therapy. Methods: The clinical data of a patient with autoimmune PAP treated with sequential homogenous bilateral lung transplantation were described and the literatures were reviewed. Results: This 55-year-old female patient was diagnosed with autoimmune PAP and had been treated with whole lung lavage for 19 times, but only achieved short-term symptomatic relief after each operation. Inhalation of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor occurred allergic reactions. Lung transplantation was performed on February 15, 2022, and a significant improvement in oxygenation and clinical symptoms were observed. The patient remained stable during follow-up. Conclusion: Treatment with lung transplantation is safe and effective for end-stage patients with PAP in the early phase, but the long-term effect remains to be observed.

Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of neonates with upper airway obstruction (UAO) who were admitted via transportation, hence to provide more evidence-based information for the clinical management of UAO. Methods: This was a single center retrospective study. Patients were hospitalized in Beijing Children's Hospital from January 1, 2016 to May 31, 2021 with age <28 days or postmenstrual age (PMA) ≤44 weeks, and UAO as the first diagnosis. The general information of patients, obstructed sites in the upper airway, treatment, complications and prognosis were analyzed. The outcomes of surgical UAO vs. non-surgical UAO were analyzed by 2 by 2 χ2 test. Results: A total of 111 cases were analyzed (2.3% of the total NICU hospitalized 4 826 infants in the same period), in which 62 (55.9%) were boys and 101 (91.0%) were term infants, and their gestational age was (38.7±2.0) weeks, birth weight (3 207±585) g, PMA on admission (40.8±2.5) weeks and weight on admission was (3 221±478) g. There were 92 cases (82.9%) with symptoms of UAO presenting on postnatal day 1, and 35 cases (31.5%) had extra-uterine growth retardation on admission. The diagnosis of UAO and the obstructive site was confirmed in 25 cases (22.5%) before transportation. There were 24 cases (21.6%), 71 cases (64.0%), and 16 cases (14.4%) who had UAO due to nasal, throat, and neck problems, respectively. The top 5 diagnosis of UAO were vocal cord paralysis (28 cases), bilateral choanal atresia (20 cases), laryngomalacia (15 cases), pharynx and larynx cysts (7 cases), and subglottic hemangioma (6 cases). The diagnosis and treatment of all the patients followed a multidisciplinary approach consisted of neonatal intensive care unit, ear-nose-throat department and medical image departments. A total of 102 cases (91.9%) underwent both bronchofiberscope and fiber nasopharyngoscope investigation. Seventy cases (63.1%) required ventilation. Among the 58 cases (52.3%) who required surgical intervention, 16 had tracheotomy. For cases with vs. without surgical intervention, the rate of cure and (or) improvement were 94.8% (55/58) vs. 54.7% (29/53), and the rate of being discharged against medical arrangement were 1.7% (1/58) vs. 45.3% (24/53) (χ²=24.21 and 30.11, both P<0.01). Conclusions: Neonatal UAO may locate at various sites of the upper airway. The overall prognosis of neonatal UAO is favorable. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for efficient evaluation and appropriate surgical intervention.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between expression levels of CLOCK mRNA and protein and the clinical characteristics of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods: The frozen tissue specimens from 33 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from 2018 to 2019 were collected. Seventeen cases of tissue specimens from patients with nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University in 2019 were collected. From 2008 to 2014, 68 cases of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedding (FFPE) nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue and 37 cases of FFPE nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation tissue were collected from the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guizhou Medical University. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot (WB) were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of CLOCK. The nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells including CNE1, CNE2, 5-8F and the normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell NP69 were cultured. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of CLOCK mRNA in each cell line at the time points of ZT2, ZT6, ZT10, ZT14, ZT18 and ZT22. The cosine method was used to fit the rhythm of CLOCK gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The protein expression of CLOCK protein was detected by using immunohistochemical method in 68 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 37 cases of nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation tissue. Survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test, and the influencing factors was analyzed by Cox regression model. Results: The expression levels of CLOCK mRNA in CNE1, CNE2 and 5-8F cells (0.63±0.07, 0.91±0.02 and 0.33±0.04, respectively) were lower than that in NP69 cell (1.00±0.00, P<0.05). The expression levels of CLOCK protein in CNE1, CNE2 and 5-8F cells (0.79±0.06, 0.57±0.05 and 0.74±0.10, respectively) were lower than that of NP69 cells (1.00±0.00, P<0.05). The expressions of CLOCK mRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells including CEN1, CNE2, 5-8F and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell NP69 were different at different time points, with temporal fluctuations. The fluctuation periods of CLOCK mRNA in CNE1, CNE2, 5-8F, and NP69 cells were 16, 14, 22 and 24 hours, respectively. The peak and trough times were ZT10: 40 and ZT18: 40, ZT10 and ZT3, ZT14: 30 and ZT3: 30, ZT12: 39 and ZT0: 39, respectively. CLOCK mRNA and protein expression levels in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues (0.37±0.20 and 0.20±0.26, respectively) were lower than those in nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation tissues (1.00±0.00 and 0.51±0.41, respectively, P<0.05). The 1, 3, and 5-year survival rates of patients in the CLOCK protein high expression group (CLOCK protein expression level ≥ 0.178) were 96.2%, 92.1%, and 80.1%, respectively, which were higher than those in the low expression group (CLOCK protein expression level <0.178, 92.9% , 78.6% and 57.1%, respectively, P=0.009). The 1, 3, and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates of patients in the CLOCK protein high expression group were 96.2%, 87.8%, and 87.7%, respectively, which were higher than those in the low expression group (92.7%, 82.2%, and 70.8%, respectively, P=0.105). Compared with the low-expression group (100.0%, 96.9%, and 90.0%, respectively), the 1, 3, and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates of patients in the CLOCK protein high expression group (100.0%, 95.7%, and 95.7%, respectively) were not statistically significant (P=0.514). Compared with the low-expression group (92.7%, 82.2%, and 79.3%), the 1, 3, and 5-year survival rates without metastasis in the CLOCK protein high expression group (96.2%, 92.0%, and 92.0%, respectively) were not statistically significant (P=0.136). CLOCK protein expression and T stage were independent prognostic factors of overall survival (P<0.05). Conclusions: The expression of CLCOK is downregulated in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell and nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues. Clock gene CLOCK is rhythmically expressed in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. Compared with normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells, the fluctuation period of CLOCK in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells is shortened. The overall survival of patients in the CLOCK protein high expression group is better than that of low expression group. The expression of CLOCK protein is an independent influencing factor for overall survival. CLOCK gene may be a potential tumor suppressor gene in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Abstract
GA 2-oxidases (GA2oxs) are a class of enzymes that inhibit the biosynthesis of bioactive GAs in plants. Although GA2oxs have clear roles in the development and defence responses in Arabidopsis, rice, and wheat, their potential effects on maize remain unclear. This study identified thirteen ZmGA2ox genes in maize and further characterized them using phylogenetic, gene structure, genomic locus, expression pattern analyses and GA content determination. Phylogenetic relationship analysis clearly divided the ZmGA2ox family into three groups-seven in C19-GA2ox class I, three in C19-GA2ox class II, and three in C20-GA2ox class. Evolutionary analysis suggested that ZmGA2ox1;1 and ZmGA2ox1;2, ZmGA2ox3;1 and ZmGA2ox3;2, and ZmGA2ox7;1 and ZmGA2ox7;2 are three pairs of segmental duplicated genes. Prediction of cis-regulatory elements in promoters suggested that ZmGA2ox genes were mainly associated with growth, development, hormones, and biotic/abiotic stress. Therefore, their spatial and temporal expression patterns and responses to various stress treatments were analysed on the basis of published RNA-seq data. Moreover, the changes of ZmGA2ox expression in leaves and roots of maize seedlings was detected under salt, alkali, dehydration, and cold stresses by qRT-PCR. The ZmGA2oxs exhibited obvious expression tendencies or characteristics in various organs under different abiotic stresses. The variations in the expression of three ZmGA2ox genes in the C20-GA2ox class in maize seedling roots showed significant regularity and a clear negative correlation with bioactive GA contents under cold and drought conditions, indicating that these three genes might exert key effects on the regulation of GA synthesis and the response to drought and cold stress. Taken together, this study is useful for further dissection of the effect of ZmGA2oxs on abiotic stress responses and might provide potential targets for the genetic improvement of maize.

Abstract
To investigate the risk factors of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer (EGC) and to develop a risk model for the presence of lymph node metastasis. A total of 172 EGC patients, with a median age of 62(52, 68) years, who underwent gastric cancer resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to June 2019 were selected. Clinical data of the patients were collected through the case system. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the variables significantly related to lymph node metastasis. ROC curve and calibration curve were used to evaluate the risk model. The results showed that the lymph node metastasis rate of 172 EGC patients was 19.19% (33/172). Tumor size, depth of invasion, degree of differentiation and vascular tumor thrombus were associated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05), but age ≥ 60 years (OR=5.556, 95%CI: 1.757-17.569, P=0.004), invasion depth (OR=4.218,95%CI:1.418-12.548, P=0.010) and vascular cancer embolus (OR=13.878,95%CI:4.081-47.196,P<0.001) were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis of EGC. The consistency index of the risk model based on the above risk factors was 0.8835 (95%CI: 0.818 8-0.948 2). The calibration curve shows that the risk assessment model is in good agreement with the actual results, indicating that the model has high accuracy and discrimination.The most common site of metastasis was group 3, followed by group 4. Therefore, patients over 60 years old with submucosal invasion and vascular tumor thrombus may have a higher risk of lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drought stress is a serious threat that limit maize growth and production. OBJECTIVES The assessment tolerance level of maize by measuring changes in the main biochemical and physiological indicators under drought stress. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a genome-wide association analysis of biochemical and physiological indicators using an elite association panel. RESULTS The results revealed that eight significant SNPs (p<0.05/N) located in eight genes that are distributed on different chromosomes were associated with drought resistance indices under drought stress. Among these genes, four genes were linked via the associated SNPs with drought-resistance indices of the malondialdehyde activity (MDA), three genes were linked with drought resistance indexes of the superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), and one gene was linked with drought resistance indexes of relative conductivity (REC). The candidate genes functioned as transcription factors, enzymes, and transporters, which included trehalase, the AP2/EREB160 transcription factor, and glutathione S-transferase and also encoded a gene of unknown function. These genes may be directly or indirectly involved in drought resistance. The expression levels of ZmEREB160 responded to ABA and drought stress. CONCLUSIONS These results provided good information to understand the genetic basis of variation in drought resistance indices of biochemical and physiological indicators during drought stress.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the most common chronic oral disease and is characterized by active osteoclast activity and significant alveolar bone resorption. However, the key regulatory factors of periodontal bone loss have yet to be determined, and reasonable intervention methods for periodontitis have not been developed. Currently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have shown a remarkable ability to maintain normal cell and tissue homeostasis. Interestingly, we recently found that the lncRNA Nron is negatively correlated with alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis model. To explore the role of Nron in periodontal bone loss, osteoclastic-specific Nron knockout mice and osteoclastic-specific Nron transgenic mice were generated. Nron effectively inhibited osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone resorption. Mechanistically, Nron was found to effectively promote the nuclear transport of NF-κb repressing factor (NKRF). In addition, NKRF in the nucleus significantly repressed the transcription of Nfatc1, which is a major NF-κb signaling molecule. Importantly, local injection of the Nron overexpression vector significantly inhibited osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone resorption, which indicated the translational application potential of lncRNAs in the treatment of bone resorption in periodontitis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical value of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), fibrinogen (FIB), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer. Methods: A case-control study design was used to select 155 patients with colorectal cancer[98 males and 57 females, aged (63.12±13.99)years old], 90 patients with colorectal polyps[62 males and 28 females, aged (56.86±12.74)years old] and 150 healthy subjects[93 males and 57 females, aged (57.02±10.91)years old] from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October 2017 to March 2018. Blood routine tests were detected by instrument method, FIB was detected by Clauss method, and CEA and CA19-9 were detected by electrochemiluminescence method. The levels of the NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 in the 3 groups were compared. The diagnostic efficacy of NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 of colorectal cancer was compared according to the ROC curve. The relationship between the level of NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 and their clinicopathological features in colorectal cancer patients was assessed. According to the median levels of NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9, 112 follow-up of colorectal cancer patients could be divided into the high-value group and the low-value group. Kaplan-Meier, log-rank test and Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the levels of the four indicators and the prognosis of colorectal cancer. Results: The levels of NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 in colorectal cancer group were 2.11(1.52, 2.86), 3.21(2.58, 3.86)g/L, 3.93(2.27, 8.78)μg/L, 15.11(9.10, 25.73)U/ml. The levels of NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 in colorectal polyp group were 1.74(1.39, 2.17), 2.54(2.26, 3.03)g/L, 1.99(1.18, 2.70)μg/L, 9.83(6.13, 15.68)U/ml. The levels of NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 in healthy control group were 1.68(1.33, 2.28), 2.56(2.30, 2.82)g/L, 1.85(1.28, 2.59)μg/L, 10.03(6.86, 13.26)U/ml. The levels of NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 in colorectal cancer group were significantly higher than those in colorectal polyp group (Z values were 3.568, 5.913, 6.880 and 4.022,P values were all<0.05) and healthy control group(Z values were 3.916, 7.381, 9.131 and 5.251,P values were all<0.05). The levels of NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 in colorectal polyp group were not remarkably different from those in healthy control group (Z values were 0.217, 0.179, 0.320 and 0.061,P values were all>0.05). The diagnostic performance of CEA was the best in single test, followed by FIB, CA19-9 and NLR. The sensitivity of combined NLR+FIB+CEA or NLR+FIB+CEA+CA19-9 was the highest with 72.3%. NLR and FIB levels were associated with tumor sites (Z values were 3.587 and 7.089,P values were both<0.05). FIB and CEA levels were correlated with the depth of tumor invasion (Z values were 3.250 and 3.245, P values were both <0.05). NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 levels were both associated with lymph node metastasis (Z values were 2.010, 3.276, 3.312 and 2.921, P values were all<0.05). The prognosis of patients in the high-value NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 groups was significantly worse than that in the low-value group (χ2 values were 5.744, 6.048, 4.389 and 6.942,P values were all<0.05).Cox multivariate regression analysis showed lymph node metastasis, NLR >2.15 and CA19-9 >15.47 U/ml are independent factors affecting the prognosis of colorectal cancer. Conclusion: NLR, FIB, CEA and CA19-9 can be applied in the auxiliary diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the influences of metformin on the proliferation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells and its dose-effect relationship and crucial molecular mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS With human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1 as the study object, different concentrations of metformin were added for intervention. Then, the proliferation of PANC-1 cells was detected via methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay to determine the dose-effect relationship of metformin in PANC-1 cell proliferation. PANC-1 cells were treated with metformin at three appropriate concentrations as Metformin treatment groups, and an equal amount of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added in Control group. Flow cytometry was performed to detect PANC-1 cell cycle and apoptosis, and the apoptosis of PANC-1 cells was also evaluated via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Caspase-3 protein localization and expression in PANC-1 cells were detected using immunofluorescence assay. Besides, the expressions of the apoptosis-associated proteins Caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-Akt), and p-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) proteins related to the mTOR pathway were detected using Western blotting. RESULTS Metformin repressed the proliferation of human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. Compared with Control group, Metformin treatment groups (0, 20 and 40 mM) exhibited a higher proportion of PANC-1 cells in G0/G1 phases, and a lower proportion of PANC-1 cells in S phase (p<0.05), and the change in the proportion of cells in G2/M phase was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Moreover, Metformin treatment groups (0, 20, and 40 mM) had more apoptotic PANC-1 cells, higher expression levels of pro-apoptosis proteins Caspase-3 and Bax and lower expression levels of anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2 and the mTOR pathway-related proteins PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR in cells than Control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Metformin modulates the mTOR signaling pathway to reduce the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cell, but increase their apoptosis.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the population characteristics, the positive rate of screening, the detection rate of breast cancer, early diagnosis rate and the cost between the mass screening group and opportunistic screening group of breast cancer. Methods: This study is a prospective multicenter cohort study conducted from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016. The participants were enrolled for mass screening or opportunistic screening of breast cancer. After completing the questionnaire, all the participants received breast physical examination and breast ultrasound examination every year for 3 rounds by year. The participants' characteristics and screening results of the two groups were compared by χ2 test, Fisher exact test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results: A total of 20 080 subjects were enrolled. In the mass screening group, 9 434 (100%), 8 111 (85.98%) and 3 940 (41.76%) cases completed the 3 rounds of screening, and 10 646 (100%), 6 209 (58.32%) and 2 988 (28.07%) cases in the opportunistic screening group, respectively. In the opportunistic screening group, the proportions of less than 3 months lactation (1 275/9 796 vs. 1 061/8 860, χ²=4.597, P=0.032), non-fertility (850/10 646 vs. 574/9 434, χ²=27.400, P<0.01), abortion history (6 384/10 646 vs. 5 062/9 434, χ²=81.232, P<0.01), postmenopausal (2 776/10 646 vs. 2 217/9 434, χ²=17.757, P<0.01), long-term oral contraceptives(>6 months) (171/10 646 vs. 77/9 434, χ²=25.593, P<0.01) and family history of breast cancer in first-degree relatives (464/10 646 vs. 236/9 434, χ²=51.257, P<0.01) were significantly higher than those in mass screening group. The positive rate of screening (514/10 646 vs. 128/9 434, χ²=194.736, P<0.01), the detection rate of breast cancer (158/10 646 vs. 13/9 434, χ²=107.374, P<0.01), and positive rate of biopsy (158/452 vs. 13/87, χ²=13.491, P<0.01) in the opportunistic screening group were significantly higher than those of the mass screening group. The early diagnosis rate of the mass screening group was significantly higher than the opportunistic screening group (10/12 vs. 66/141, χ²=5.902, P=0.015). The average cost for detecting each breast cancer case of the mass screening group was 215 038 CNY, which was 13.6 times of the opportunistic screening group (15 799 CNY/case). In the opportunistic screening group, the positive rate of biopsy in primary hospitals was significantly lower than that in large-volume hospitals (79/267 vs. 79/185, χ²=8.267, P=0.004), but there was no significant difference in the mass screening group (6/37 vs. 7/50, χ²=0.082, P=0.774). Conclusions: Breast cancer screening can improve early detection rate. Compared with the mass screening mode, the opportunistic screening mode has the advantages of higher proportion of high-risk factors, higher positive rate of screening, higher detection rate of breast cancer, higher positive rate of biopsy, and lower cost of screening. However, the early diagnosis rate of breast cancer of opportunistic screening is lower than that of mass screening. The positive rate of opportunistic screening in primary hospitals is lower than that of large-volume hospitals. The two screening modes have their own advantages and should be chosen according to local conditions of different regions in China.

Abstract
Maize is China’s largest grain crop. Mechanical grain harvesting is the key technology in maize production, and the kernel moisture concentration (KMC) is the main controlling factor in mechanical maize harvesting in China. The kernel dehydration rate (KDR) is closely related to the KMC. Thus, it is important to conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of the KMC and KDR in maize, detect relevant quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs), and mine relevant candidate genes. Here, 132 maize inbred lines were used to measure the KMC every 5 days from 10 to 40 days after pollination (DAP) in order to calculate the KDR. These lines were genotyped using a maize 55K single-nucleotide polymorphism array. QTNs for the KMC and KDR were detected based on five methods (mrMLM, FASTmrMLM, FASTmrEMMA, pLARmEB, and ISIS EM-BLASSO) in the package mrMLM. A total of 334 significant QTNs were found for both the KMC and KDR, including 175 QTNs unique to the KMC and 178 QTNs unique to the KDR; 116 and 58 QTNs were detected among the 334 QTNs by two and more than two methods, respectively; and 9 and 5 QTNs among 58 QTNs were detected in 2 and 3 years, respectively. A significant enrichment in cellular component was revealed by Gene Ontology enrichment analysis of candidate genes in the intervals adjacent to the 14 QTNs and this category contained five genes. The information provided in this study may be useful for further mining of genes associated with the KMC and KDR in maize.

Abstract
Kernel water content (KWC) and kernel dehydration rate (KDR) are two main factors affecting maize seed quality and have a decisive influence on the mechanical harvest. It is of great importance to map and mine candidate genes related to KWCs and KDRs before physiological maturity in maize. 120 double-haploid (DH) lines constructed from Si287 with low KWC and JiA512 with high KWC were used as the mapping population. KWCs were measured every 5 days from 10 to 40 days after pollination, and KDRs were calculated. A total of 1702 SNP markers were used to construct a linkage map, with a total length of 1,309.02 cM and an average map distance of 0.77 cM. 10 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and 27 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) were detected by genome-wide composite interval mapping (GCIM) and multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM), respectively. One and two QTL hotspot regions were found on Chromosome 3 and 7, respectively. Analysis of the Gene Ontology showed that 2 GO terms of biological processes (BP) were significantly enriched (P ≤ 0.05) and 6 candidate genes were obtained. This study provides theoretical support for marker-assisted breeding of mechanical harvest variety in maize.

Abstract
The ground-state properties of correlated electron systems can be extraordinarily sensitive to external stimuli, offering abundant platforms for functional materials. Using the multi-messenger combination of atomic force microscopy, cryogenic scanning near-field optical microscopy, magnetic force microscopy and ultrafast laser excitation, we demonstrate both 'writing' and 'erasing' of a metastable ferromagnetic metal phase in strained films of La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (LCMO) with nanometre-resolved finesse. By tracking both optical conductivity and magnetism at the nanoscale, we reveal how strain-coupling underlies the dynamic growth, spontaneous nanotexture and first-order melting transition of this hidden photoinduced metal. Our first-principles calculations reveal that epitaxially engineered Jahn-Teller distortion can stabilize nearly degenerate antiferromagnetic insulator and ferromagnetic metal phases. We propose a Ginzburg-Landau description to rationalize the co-active interplay of strain, lattice distortions and magnetism nano-resolved here in strained LCMO, thus guiding future functional engineering of epitaxial oxides into the regime of phase-programmable materials.

Abstract
Objective:To discuss the diagnosis and evaluation of upper airway obstruction in neonates, classify the possible causes of neonatal upper airway obstruction, establish a standardized diagnosis and treatment procedure to improve the of treatment efficacy. Method:Clinical data of 71 cases with upper airway obstruction history were retrospective analyzed, 38 cases were treated by combined medical and surgical treatment, 17 cases underwent medical treatment, 16 cases abandonment the treatment. The effectiveness of fibrolaryngoscope, CT, neck ultrasound, MRI and other results was evaluated, and to analyze the prognosis of the treatment, the outcomes and risk factors were also analysed, to evaluate risk factors associated with upper airway obstruction. Result:Fifty-five cases were cured or improved. The mortality rate of 16 children who gave up treatment and left hospital automatically was 81.25%(13/16). The accuracy rate of flexible laryngoscope in detecting the level of upper airway obstruction was 100%, the coincidence rate of B-ultrasound for upper airway cystic occupation was 100%. Etiological order from high to low was congenital space-occupying lesions, congenital upper airway malformation, vocal cord paralysis, Pierre-Robin syndrome. The site of obstruction has a significant influence on the severity of upper airway obstruction(P<0.05). The cure rate of the non-endotracheal intubation group was higher than that of the endotracheal intubation group(P<0.05). Conclusion:The obstruction site of upper airway significantly affects the outcome and the severity of the disease. Upper airway space occupying lesions are the primary causes of upper airway obstruction in neonates. Early assessment and timely treatment can improve the cure rate and improve the prognosis. Internal medicine combined with surgical treatment is effective in relieving upper airway obstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate factors associated with larger burden of intra-anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in a natural history study of HSIL. METHODS 617 gay and bisexual men (GBM) attended a baseline visit. High-resolution anoscopy-directed biopsy was performed of suspected HSIL. GBM with biopsy-confirmed HSIL (bHSIL) affecting a single-octant were compared with those who had bHSIL affecting a larger area. RESULTS Of 196 men with bHSIL at baseline, 73 (37.2 %) had larger bHSIL burden. Larger burden was independently associated with anal HPV16 detection (aOR 2.06, 95 % CI 1.09-3.89, p = 0.026) and infection with a greater number of high-risk HPV types (aOR per type increase 1.25, 95 % CI 1.05-1.49, p-trend = 0.010). CONCLUSION The observation that men with a larger burden of HSIL also had more risk factors for anal cancer suggests this group may warrant closer observation to ensure earlier detection, and thus improved prognosis, of individuals whose HSIL may progress to anal cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study is to investigate the associations between the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) sarcopenic definition, and its individual criteria, and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in the Chinese elderly. METHODS Longitudinal analysis of 1,264 participants aged 60 years or older at baseline (2013-2014) living in suburban areas, China. Sarcopenia was defined according to the recommended algorithm of AWGS. Muscle mass was measured by a direct segmental multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. Muscle strength was assessed by handgrip strength, and physical performance measured via usual walking speed. RESULTS Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality. After 40 months of follow-up, forty-eight deaths (4.2%) died in this cohort. The mortality rate with sarcopenia was 4.7% in men and 3.8% in women. After adjusting for potential confounders, the risk of all-cause death was 4.15 times higher in subjects with sarcopenia. Furthermore, low muscle mass (HR: 2.62, 95% CI 1.34-5.13) and low grip strength (HR: 5.79; 95% CI 2.28-14.71), but not walking speed, were found to be significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Risk of CVD mortality was significantly greater in sarcopenia. Low grip strength and low walking speed were associated with 11 times (HR: 11.03, 95% CI 1.58-77.02) and 13 times (HR: 13.02; 95% CI 1.18-143.78) higher risk of CVD mortality. CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia and components of sarcopenia were associated with greater CVD and all-cause mortality. Pertinent prevention or rehabilitation programs projects should look to promote healthy aging in different types of sarcopenia group.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of electrode materials on HfO₂-based RRAM devices. The research includes three types of electrode materials: (1) the electrodes with strong ability of oxygen reservoirs; (2) the electrode with poor ability of oxygen reservoirs; (3) the active electrode with injection ability. Through implementing different combinations of electrodes, three types of switching modes were obtained and the relative conduction mechanism was analyzed, as well as conduction model. Those studies may offer ways of using electrodes to control the resistive switching processes and fabricating the RRAM devices with good performance.

Abstract
Drought significantly affects plant growth and has devastating effects on crop production, NAC transcription factors respond to abiotic stresses by activating gene expression. In this study, a maize NAC transcription factor, ZmNAC33, was cloned and characterized its function in Arabidopsis. Transient transformation in Arabidopsis leaves mesophyll protoplasts and trans-activation assays in yeast showed that ZmNAC33 was localized in the nucleus and had transactivation activity. qRT-PCR analysis showed that ZmNAC33 in maize was induced by drought, high salinity and abscisic acid (ABA) stress. Promoter analysis identified multiple stress-related cis-acting elements in the promoter region of ZmNAC33. In ZmNAC33 transgenic Arabidopsis, germination rates were higher than in wild type plants under ABA and osmotic stress at the germination stage, and overexpression lines exhibited higher survival rates and higher antioxidant enzyme activities compared with wild type under drought stress. These results indicate that ZmNAC33 actes as a positive regulator in drought tolerance in plants.
