Abstract
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a globally prevalent chronic hepatic disease. Previous studies have indicated that the activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription3 (STAT3) plays a vital role in MAFLD progression at the very beginning. However, the specific association between STAT3 and abnormal hepatic metabolism remains unclear. In this study, activated inflammation was observed to induce abnormal glucolipid metabolic disorders in the hepatic tissues of high-fat diet (HFD)-fed ApoE-/- mice. Furthermore, we found that the activation of STAT3 induced by HFD might function as a transcriptional factor to suppress the expression of VAV3, which might participate in intracellular glucolipid metabolism and the regulation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) storage vesicle traffic in the development of MAFLD both in vitro and in vivo. We verified that VAV3 deficiency could retard the GLUT4 membrane translocation and impair the glucose homeostasis. Additionally, VAV3 participates in cholesterol metabolism in hepatocytes, eventually resulting in the accumulation of intracellular cholesterol. Moreover, rAAV8-TBG-VAV3 was conducted to restore the expression of VAV3 in HFD-fed ApoE-/- mice. VAV3 overexpression was observed to improve glucose homeostasis as well as attenuate hepatic cholesterol accumulation in vivo. In conclusion, the STAT3/VAV3 signaling pathway might play a significant role in MAFLD by regulating glucose and cholesterol metabolism, and VAV3 might be a potential therapeutic strategy which could consequently ameliorate MAFLD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetes and dyslipidemia are among the most common chronic diseases with increasing global disease burdens, and they frequently occur together. The study aimed to investigate differences in the heritability of glycemic traits and serum lipid indicators and differences in overlapping genetic and environmental influences between them across age groups. METHODS This study included 1189 twin pairs from the Chinese National Twin Registry and divided them into three groups: aged ≤ 40, 41-50, and > 50 years old. Univariate and bivariate structural equation models (SEMs) were conducted on glycemic indicators and serum lipid indicators, including blood glucose (GLU), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), in the total sample and three age groups. RESULTS All phenotypes showed moderate to high heritability (0.37-0.64). The heritability of HbA1c demonstrated a downward trend with age (HbA1c: 0.50-0.79), while others remained relatively stable (GLU: 0.55-0.62, TC: 0.58-0.66, TG: 0.50-0.63, LDL-C: 0.24-0.58, HDL-C: 0.31-0.57). The bivariate SEMs demonstrated that GLU and HbA1c were correlated with each serum lipid indicator (0.10-0.17), except HDL-C. Except for HbA1c and LDL-C, as well as HbA1c and HDL-C, differences in genetic correlations underlying glycemic traits and serum lipids between age groups were observed, with the youngest group showing a significantly higher genetic correlation than the oldest group. CONCLUSION Across the whole adulthood, genetic influences were consistently important for GLU, TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C, and age may affect the shared genetic influences between glycemic traits and serum lipids. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of age in the interactions of genes related to glycemic traits and serum lipids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We explored the relationship between levels of serum uric acid (UA) and cognitive impairment in people with schizophrenia to order to better protect and improve cognitive function in such patients. METHODS A uricase method evaluated serum UA levels in 82 individuals with first-episode schizophrenia and in 39 healthy controls. The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the event-related potential P300 were used to assess the patient's psychiatric symptoms and cognitive functioning. The link between serum UA levels, BPRS scores, and P300 was investigated. RESULTS Prior to treatment, serum UA levels and latency N3 in the study group were significantly higher than in the control group, whereas the amplitude P3 was considerably lower. After therapy, the study group's BPRS scores, serum UA levels, latency N3, and amplitude P3 were lower than before treatment. According to correlation analysis, serum UA levels in the pre-treatment study group significantly positively correlated with BPRS score and latency N3 but not amplitude P3. After therapy, serum UA levels were no longer substantially related to the BPRS score or amplitude P3 but strongly and positively correlated with latency N3. CONCLUSIONS First-episode schizophrenia patients have higher serum UA levels than the general population which partly reflects poor cognitive performance. Improving patients' cognitive function may be facilitated by lowering serum UA levels.

Abstract
Colostrum contains nutrients, immunoglobulins, and various bioactive compounds such as microRNA (miRNA). Less is known about the temporal changes in miRNA profiles in ruminant milk samples during the first week postpartum. In this study, we characterized and compared the profiles of miRNA in the small extracellular vesicles (sEV) isolated from colostrum (CM, collected immediately after parturition, n = 8) and transition milk (TM, collected 7 d postpartum, n = 8) from eight 1-yr-old Guanzhong dairy goats with a milk yield of approximately 500 kg/year. A total of 192 unique sEV-associated miRNA (transcripts per million >1 at least 4 samples in either CM or TM) were identified in all samples. There were 29 miRNA uniquely identified in the TM samples while no miRNA was uniquely identified in the CM samples. The abundance of the top 10 miRNA accounted for 82.4% ± 4.0% (± SD) of the total abundance, with let-7 families (e.g., let-7a/b/c-5p) being predominant in all samples. The top 10 miRNA were predicted to target 1,008 unique genes that may regulate pathways such as focal adhesion, TGF-β signaling, and axon guidance. The expression patterns of EV miRNA were similar between the 2 sample groups, although the abundance of let-7c-5p and miR-30a-3p was higher, whereas that of let-7i-5p and miR-103-3p was lower in CM than in TM. In conclusion, the core miRNAome identified in the samples from CM and TM may play an important role in cell proliferation, bone homeostasis, and neuronal network formation in newborn goat kids. The lack of differential miRNA expression between the CM and TM samples may be due to a relatively short sampling interval in which diet composition, intake and health status of ewes, and environment were relatively stable.

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

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

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) This study assesses the dose rate delivered by the spot-scanning VHEE beams generated by laser plasma acceleration and discusses the feasibility and beam requirements for FLASH-RT. MATERIALS/METHODS Different types of dose rate metrics (averaged-dose-rate (ADR), dose-averaged dose rate (DADR), and dose-threshold dose rate (DTDR)) in the spot-scanning situation are considered. Theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo simulations are performed to quantify the dose rate distribution for the water phantom and investigate the influence of beam parameters. All the beam parameters are derived from the experimental results. RESULTS At a much lower pulse repetition rate of 5 Hz, ADR can only reach a dose rate at the magnitude of 10^-1 Gy/s, and the FLASH-RT dose rate (40 Gy/s) could be reached when the high-power laser's working repetition rate is kilo-Hertz. Different from ADR, DADR and DTDR are independent of the scanning path, and they can reach the ultra-high dose rate even exceeding 10^14 Gy/s. Meanwhile, the ultrashort electron bunch can be stretched during the scattering in the water, resulting in the dependence of DADR and DTDR on the penetration depth. DADR decreases exponentially from 10^14 Gy/s at the surface to 10^11 Gy/s at 15 cm depth. Both the charge per shot and angular spread are important parameters in the dose rate calculation. The distinct results among these 3 dose rate metrics are due to their correlations with the averaged beam current and instantaneous current. CONCLUSION This study explored the practical beam parameters for preclinical use and provided guidance in designing LPA for the future spot-scanning VHEE FLASH-RT.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Chemo-immunotherapy has shown significant benefits for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), which prolonged overall survival (OS) of nearly 2-4.5 months compared with platinum-based chemotherapy alone. However, thoracic radiotherapy (TRT), was not allowed to be used in previous trials. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficiency of TRT for ES-SCLC patients in the era of Immunotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively reviewed ES-SCLC patients treated with chemo-immunotherapy between 2017 and 2021 in our center. Patients who accepted consolidative or salvage TRT were included. The overall survival, progression-free survival (PFS), local progression-free survival (LPFS), and distant progression free-survival (DPFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Toxicity was recorded based on CTCAE 5.0 scale. RESULTS We finally enrolled 30 patients in our study. The median follow-up time was 26.0 months (95% confidence interval, 18.2-33.8 months). 26(86.7%) patients have undergone first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy, while 4(13.3%) have undergone immunotherapy as a second-line agent. 23(76.6%) patients achieved CR/PR/SD to initial systematic therapy. All patients were treated with TRT with a median dose of 51 Gy (24-60.2 Gy). The median interval between TRT and immunotherapy was 35 days. Median OS was 26 months (95% confidence interval, 17.8-34.2 months) and median PFS was 8 months (95% confidence interval, 5.3-10.7 months). 2-year OS, PFS, and DPFS were 51.4%, 21.4%, and 27.4%, respectively. 18 months LPFS was 59.6%. There was no ≥ G3 radiation-related adverse event except 2(6.7%) G3 esophagitis. G1-2 pneumonitis was reported in 8(26.7%) patients. CONCLUSION TRT is well-tolerated and effective for selected ES-SCLC patients in the modern era of immunotherapy. Prospective trials are still needed to further evaluate the combination of TRT and immunotherapy for patients with ES-SCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Although lipids have been assessed for their possible roles in cancer survival prediction, studies on the association between serum lipids levels and the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients are limited. This study aimed to evaluate whether serum lipids are associated with outcomes in patients with NSCLC treated with radiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS We conducted a multicenter prospective study on patients diagnosed with NSCLC between January 2018 and February 2021. Participants received thoracic radiotherapy of 60ཞ80 Gy to the primary lung tumor and positive lymph node metastases. We measured patients' serum lipids levels (serum triglyceride, TGs; total cholesterol, TC, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C; low density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C) before radiotherapy. The association between serum lipids levels and overall survival (OS) was evaluated using hazard ratios. We sought to determine a threshold point using optimal stratification. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS Of the 300 participants diagnosed with NSCLC treated with radiotherapy, 165 (55.0%) were men. Median follow-up time was 24.4 months (range 1.0- 101.9 months). Using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, among those serum lipids, only serum TG was shown to be independent prognostic factors for OS (hazard ratio: 1.203, 95% confidence interval: 1.038 - 1.393, p = 0.014). The cut-off for TG associated with OS was 2.04 mmol/L. Based on the TG cut-off value, 55 NSCLC patients were categorized into the high TG group (>2.04 mmol/L) and 245 in the low TG group (<2.04 mmol/L). The NSCLC patients in the low TG group exhibited higher OS than the high group (median OS, not reach vs 41.4 months, p = 0.025). CONCLUSION TG levels were found to be a significant negative prognostic biomarker for OS in NSCLC patients treated with radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Taking advantage of the characteristics of high metabolic heterogeneity of tumor cells, the modified ketogenic diet (KD) combined with radiotherapy was used to investigate and analyze the radiosensitivity of a lung cancer model from the perspective of energy metabolism. MATERIALS/METHODS Different concentrations of glucose and βhydroxybutyrate (βHB) were used at the cellular level to simulate the level of ketone bodies. A cell counting kit was used to detect the effect of different concentrations of glucose (2.78mM, 5.56mM, 12.5mM, and 25mM) and βHB (0mM, 5mM, and 10mM) combined with radiotherapy on the proliferation of LLC cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect tumor cell cycle and apoptosis. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of γH2AX, a DNA damage marker, and western blot was used to detect the expression of AMPK and ρ-AMPK. At the animal level, C57BL/6J female mice were used to establish a transplanted tumor model of lung cancer, and fed with different fat ratio diets combined with radiotherapy. The volume, tumor size, blood glucose level, blood ketone level, survival time and safety of the mice were monitored and observed. RESULTS The LLC cells were treated with different concentrations of glucose and βHB. The results showed that the survival rate of LLC cells decreased significantly with the increase of irradiation dose when the glucose concentration was 5.56mM and 2.78mM; However, the survival rate of cells in low glucose medium added with βHB was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the survival rate of LLC decreased significantly with the extension of culture time after irradiation (p < 0.001). After irradiation, LG (low glucose) group, LG+βHB 5mM group and LG+βHB 10mM group had a significantly higher proportion of G2 phase, and a significantly higher proportion of early and late phase than the control group. γH2AX foci were detected in LG group, LG +βHB 5mM group and LG +βHB 10mM group at 2h and 24h after radiotherapy, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The median survival time was 38 days in the PT group, 55 days in the PT+RT group, 41 days in the 45F group, and not reached in the 45F+RT group. HE staining showed no tumor metastasis and toxic side effects in liver and kidney. The expression of ρ-AMPK/AMPK in the combined treatment group was higher than that in the other groups. The expression of ρ-AMPK/AMPK in RT, 45F and combined treatment group was higher than that in PT group. The expression of ρ-AMPK/AMPK in RT group was higher than that in 45F group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Modified ketogenic diet can enhance the anti-tumor effect of radiotherapy in LLC tumor-bearing mice by reducing glucose and increasing the energy supply ratio from fat.

Abstract
Prolonged activation of the PERK branch of the unfolded protein response (UPR) promotes cardiomyocytes apoptosis in response to chronic β-adrenergic stimulation. STAT3 plays a critical role in β-adrenergic functions in the heart. However, whether STAT3 contributed to β-adrenoceptor-mediated PERK activation and how β-adrenergic signaling activates STAT3 remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether STAT3-Y705 phosphorylation contributed to the PERK arm activation in cardiomyocytes and if IL-6/gp130 signaling was involved in the chronic β-AR-stimulation-induced STAT3 and PERK arm activation. We found that the PERK phosphorylation was positively associated with STAT3 activation. Wild-type STAT3 plasmids transfection activated the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4/CHOP pathway in cardiomyocytes while dominant negative Y705F STAT3 plasmids caused no obvious effect on PERK signaling. Stimulation with isoproterenol produced a significant increase in the level of IL-6 in the cardiomyocyte's supernatants, while IL-6 silence inhibited PERK phosphorylation but failed to attenuate STAT3 activation in response to isoproterenol stimulation. Gp130 silence attenuated isoproterenol-induced STAT3 activation and PERK phosphorylation. Inhibiting IL-6/gp130 pathway by bazedoxifene and inhibiting STAT3 by stattic both reversed isoproterenol-induced STAT3-Y705 phosphorylation, ROS production, PERK activation, IRE1α activation, and cardiomyocytes apoptosis in vitro. Bazedoxifene (5 mg/kg/day by oral gavage once a day) exhibited similar effect as carvedilol (10 mg/kg/day by oral gavage once a day) on attenuating chronic isoproterenol (30 mg/kg by abdominal injection once a day, 7 days) induced cardiac systolic dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in C57BL/6 mice. Meanwhile, bazedoxifene attenuates isoproterenol-induced STAT3-Y705 phosphorylation, PERK/eIF2α/ATF4/CHOP activation, IRE1α activation, and cardiomyocytes apoptosis to a similar extend as carvedilol in the cardiac tissue of mice. Our results showed that chronic β-adrenoceptor-mediated stimulation activated the STAT3 and PERK arm of the UPR at least partially via IL-6/gp130 pathway. Bazedoxifene has great potential to be used as an alternative to conventional β-blockers to attenuate β-adrenoceptor-mediated maladaptive UPR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying inherent fosfomycin resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). METHODS The draft genomic sequences of 14 clinical hypervirulent/hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae (HvKP/ HmKP) isolates were obtained using the next-generation sequencing technology. The genomic sequences were analyzed using the Resistance Gene Identifier (RGI) software for predicting the resistome based on homology and SNP models in the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) and for identification of the presence of phosphomycin resistancerelated genes uhpt and fosA and their mutations in the bacterial genomes. The results were verified by analyzing a total of 521 full-length genomic sequences of K. pneumonia strains obtained from GenBank. RESULTS All the 14 clinical isolates of HvKP/ HmKP carried hexose phosphate transporter (UhpT) gene mutation, in which the glutamic acid was mutated to glutamine at 350aa (UhpTE350Q mutation); the presence of fosA6 gene was detected in 12 (85.71%) of the isolates and fosA5 gene was detected in the other 2 (14.29%) isolates. Analysis of the genomic sequences of 521 K. pneumonia strains from GenBank showed that 508 (97.50%) strains carried UhpTE350Q mutation, 439 (84.26%) strains harbored fosA6, and 80 (15.36%) strains harbored fosA5; 507 (97.31%) strains were found to have both UhpTE350Q mutation and fosA6/5 genes in the genome. Only 12 (2.30%) strains carried fosA6/5 genes without UhpTE350Q mutation; 1 (0.19%) strain had only UhpTE350Q mutation without fosA6/5 genes, and another strain contained neither UhpTE350Q mutation nor fosA6/5 genes. CONCLUSION UhpTE350Q mutation with the presence of fosA6/5 genes are ubiquitous in K. pneumonia genomes, indicating a possible intrinsic mechanism of fosfomycin resistance in the bacterium to limit the use of fosfomycin against infections caused by K. pneumoniae, especially the multi-resistant HvKP/HmKP strains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although Lesion size index (LSI) has been reported to highly predict radiofrequency lesion size in vitro, its accuracy in lesion size and steam pop estimation has not been well investigated for every possible scenario. METHODS Initially, radiofrequency ablations were performed on porcine myocardial slabs at various power, CF, and time settings with blinded LSI. Subsequently, radiofrequency power at 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 W was applied at CF values of 5, 10, 20, and 30 g to reach target LSIs of 4, 5, 6, and 7. Lesion size and steam pops were recorded for each ablation. RESULTS Lesion size was positively correlated with LSI regardless of power settings (p < 0.001). The linear correlation coefficients of lesion size and LSI decreased at higher power settings. At high power combined with high CF settings (50 W/20 g), lesion depth and LSI showed an irrelevant correlation (p = 0.7855). High-power ablation shortened ablation time and increased the effect of resistive heating. LSI could predict the risk of steam pops at high-power settings with the optimal threshold of 5.65 (sensitivity, 94.1%; specificity, 46.1%). The ablation depth of the heavy heart was shallower than that of the light heart under similar ablation settings. CONCLUSIONS LSI could predict radiofrequency lesion size and steam pops at high power settings in vitro, while synchronous high power and high CF should be avoided. Lighter hearts require relatively lower ablation settings to create appropriate ablation depth.

Abstract
Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is common but lethal cardiovascular disease with high mortality. This study aimed to expound whether and how sGC-PRKG1 signaling pathway might promote the formation of TAD. Our work identified two modules with high relevance to TAD using WGCNA method. Combined with previous studies, we focused on the participation of endothelial NOS (eNOS) in the progression of TAD. Through immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and western blot we verified that eNOS expression was elevated in the tissues of patients and mice with aortic dissection, and the phosphorylation Ser1177 of eNOS was activated. In a BAPN-induced TAD mouse model, sGC-PRKG1 signaling pathway promotes TAD formation by inducing vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotype transition, which was demonstrated as a decrease in markers of the contractile phenotype of VSMCs such as αSMA, SM22α, and Calponin. These results were also verified by experiments in vitro. To explore the further mechanism, we conducted immunohistochemistry, western blot and quantitative RT-PCR (qPCR), the results of which indicated that sGC-PRKG1 signaling pathway was activated when TAD occurred. In conclusion, our current study revealed that sGC-PRKG1 signaling pathway could promote TAD formation by accelerating VSMCs phenotype switch.

Abstract
High-fat diet (HFD) intake provokes obesity and cardiac anomalies. Recent studies have found that ferroptosis plays a role in HFD-induced cardiac injury, but the underlying mechanism is largely unclear. Ferritinophagy is an important part of ferroptosis that is regulated by nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4). However, the relationship between ferritinophagy and HFD-induced cardiac damage has not been explored. In this study, we found that oleic acid/palmitic acid (OA/PA) increased the level of ferroptotic events including iron and ROS accumulation, upregulation of PTGS2 mRNA and protein levels, reduced SOD and GSH levels, and significant mitochondrial damage in H9C2 cells, which could be reversed by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1). Intriguingly, we found that the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine mitigated OA/PA-induced ferritin downregulation, iron overload and ferroptosis. OA/PA increased the protein level of NCOA4. Knockdown of NCOA4 by SiRNA partly reversed the reduction in ferritin, mitigated iron overload and lipid peroxidation, and subsequently alleviated OA/PA-induced cell death, indicating that NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy was required for OA/PA-induced ferroptosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that NCOA4 was regulated by IL-6/STAT3 signaling. Inhibition or knockdown of STAT3 effectively reduced NCOA4 levels to protect H9C2 cells from ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis, whereas STAT3 overexpression by plasmid appeared to increase NCOA4 expression and contribute to classical ferroptotic events. Consistently, phosphorylated STAT3 upregulation, ferritinophagy activation, and ferroptosis induction also occurred in HFD-fed mice and were responsible for HFD-induced cardiac injury. In addition, we found evidence that piperlongumine, a natural compound, effectively reduced phosphorylated STAT3 levels to protect cardiomyocytes from ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Based on these findings, we concluded that ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis was one of the critical mechanisms contributing to HFD-induced cardiac injury. The STAT3/NCOA4/FTH1 axis might be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of HFD-induced cardiac injury.

Abstract
Notopterol is a naturally occurring furanocoumarin compound found in the root of Notopterygium incisum. Hyperuricemia involves the activation of chronic inflammation and leads to cardiac damage. Whether notopterol has cardioprotective potential in hyperuricemia mice remains elusive. The hyperuricemic mouse model was constructed by administration of potassium oxonate and adenine every other day for six weeks. Notopterol (20 mg/kg) and allopurinol (10 mg/kg) were given daily as treatment, respectively. The results showed that hyperuricemia dampened heart function and reduced exercise capacity. Notopterol treatment improved exercise capacity and alleviated cardiac dysfunction in hyperuricemic mice. P2X7R and pyroptosis signals were activated both in hyperuricemic mice and in uric acid-stimulated H9c2 cells. Additionally, it was verified that inhibition of P2X7R alleviated pyroptosis and inflammatory signals in uric acid-treated H9c2 cells. Notopterol administration significantly suppressed expression levels of pyroptosis associated proteins and P2X7R in vivo and in vitro. P2X7R overexpression abolished the inhibition effect of notopterol on pyroptosis. Collectively, our findings suggested that P2X7R played a critical role in uric acid-induced NLRP3 inflammatory signals. Notopterol inhibited pyroptosis via inhibiting the P2X7R/NLRP3 signaling pathway under uric acid stimulation. Notopterol might represent a potential therapeutic strategy against pyroptosis and improve cardiac function in hyperuricemic mice.

Abstract
Background Primary atrial tumors are relatively rare and predominantly benign. However, some atrial tumors may be malignant and are associated with poor outcome. Currently, it is hard to determine the malignance of atrial tumors by preoperative clinical presentation or by echocardiography. We aimed to report the difference in the clinical characteristics of patients with benign and malignant atrial tumor. Methods This was a single-center retrospective study. A total of 194 patients with primary atrial tumor admitted to our center between 2012 and 2021 were included. The clinical characteristics of patients with benign and malignant tumor were compared. Results Benign and malignant tumor accounted for 93% (n = 180) and 7% (n = 14) of the total patients, respectively. Malignant atrial tumor tended to occur in younger patients (P < 0.05), was more likely to be located at the right atrium (P < 0.05), and tended to attach to the atrial wall or valve instead of the atrial septum. Fever symptoms were more common in patients with malignant tumors than in patients with benign tumors (P < 0.05). Compared to benign tumor, patients with malignant atrial tumor also demonstrated higher rates of fever, lower rates of increasing fibrinogen, increased blood glucose (P < 0.05), significantly longer prothrombin time, and lower prothrombin activity (P < 0.05). Patients with malignant primary atrial tumor had higher mortality rate, tumor metastasis rate, and tumor recurrence rate than patients with benign primary atrial tumor (P < 0.05). Conclusion We compared the clinical characteristics of patients with benign and malignant atrial tumor. These findings provide valuable information to preoperatively determine the malignance of atrial tumor and thus guide surgical treatment.

Abstract
Cuproptosis resulting from copper (Cu) overload has not yet been investigated in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) induced by persistent hyperglycemia play an essential role in cardiotoxicity. To clarify whether cuproptosis was involved in AGEs-induced cardiotoxicity, we analyzed the toxicity of AGEs and copper in AC16 cardiomyocytes and in STZ-induced or db/db-diabetic mouse models. The results showed that copper ionophore elesclomol induced cuproptosis in cardiomyocytes. It was only rescued by copper chelator tetrathiomolybdate rather than by other cell death inhibitors. Intriguingly, AGEs triggered cardiomyocyte death and aggravated it when incubated with CuCl2 or elesclomol-CuCl2. Moreover, AGEs increased intracellular copper accumulation and exhibited features of cuproptosis, including loss of Fe-S cluster proteins (FDX1, LIAS, NDUFS8 and ACO2) and decreased lipoylation of DLAT and DLST. These effects were accompanied by decreased mitochondrial oxidative respiration, including downregulated mitochondrial respiratory chain complex, decreased ATP production and suppressed mitochondrial complex I and III activity. Additionally, AGEs promoted the upregulation of copper importer SLC31A1. We predicted that ATF3 and/or SPI1 might be transcriptional factors of SLC31A1 by online databases and validated that by ATF3/SPI1 overexpression. In diabetic mice, copper and AGEs increases in the blood and heart were observed and accompanied by cardiac dysfunction. The protein and mRNA profile changes in diabetic hearts were consistent with cuproptosis. Our findings showed, for the first time, that excessive AGEs and copper in diabetes upregulated ATF3/SPI1/SLC31A1 signaling, thereby disturbing copper homeostasis and promoting cuproptosis. Collectively, the novel mechanism might be an alternative potential therapeutic target for DCM.

Abstract
Background The impact of ablation parameters on acute tissue lesion formation after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has not been sufficiently evaluated in patients with atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation lesion can be visualized by late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR). We sought to quantitatively analyze the relationship between ablation parameter and tissue lesion following PVI at different segments of pulmonary vein (PV) using LGE-CMR. Methods Twenty-one patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent PVI procedure were retrospectively enrolled. All patients underwent LGE-CMR examination within 3 days after radiofrequency ablation. Ablation parameters during PVI were documented, including lesion size index (LSI), force-time integral (FTI), power, contact force, temperature, and time of duration. The ablation point was projected onto 3-dimensional (3D) left atrial shell constructed base on LGE-CMR and corresponding image intensity ratio (IIR) was calculated on the same shell. A tissue lesion point was defined when the LGE-CMR IIR was > 1.2. Results In total, 1,759 ablation points were analyzed. The ablation parameters and IIRs for each PV segment were significantly different (P < 0.0001). IIRs corresponding to ablation points at posterior of PV tended to be higher than those at non-posterior of PV when similar ablation parameters were applied during ablation. LSI was a better predictor of tissue lesion existence following PVI than FTI, contact force, power, temperature, and duration time at non-posterior wall of PV. The IIR showed positive correlation with LSI at non-posterior wall of PV (non-posterior of right PV, r = 0.13, P = 0.001, non-posterior of left PV, r = 0.26, P < 0.0001). Conclusion When similar ablation parameters were applied during PVI, the posterior wall of PV had more severe tissue lesion than non-posterior wall of PV. Therefore, it was reasonable to decrease ablation energy at posterior wall of PV. Moreover, LSI was a better index to reflect tissue lesion quality following PVI at non-posterior of PV.

Abstract
Mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are important intracellular organelles. The sites that mitochondrial and ER are closely related in structure and function are called Mitochondria-ER contacts (MERCs). MERCs are involved in a variety of biological processes, including calcium signaling, lipid synthesis and transport, autophagy, mitochondrial dynamics, ER stress, and inflammation. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is a vital organ damage caused by sepsis, which is closely associated with mitochondrial and ER dysfunction. Growing evidence strongly supports the role of MERCs in the pathogenesis of SIMD. In this review, we summarize the biological functions of MERCs and the roles of MERCs proteins in SIMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitophagy is a type of selective autophagy for dysfunctional mitochondria and plays a key role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. However, whether mitophagy plays a role in colon cancer remains unclear. Cirsiliol is a natural product and has been found to exert anti-cancer effects in multiple tumors. The effects of cirsiliol in the tumorigenesis and progression of colon cancer remain unknown. METHODS CCK8 assay, plate cloning assay, and cell scratch assay were performed to determine cell viability, colony formation, and wound healing abilities of HCT116 and SW480 cells. JC-1 staining, H2DCFDA staining, and Mito-Tracker Red staining were carried out to evaluate mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and mitochondrial morphology. Molecular docking technology was utilized to predict interaction of cirsiliol and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). Immunofluorescence staining was used to measure nuclear translocation of STAT3. The protein levels of phosphorylated STAT3 (Y705), total STAT3, and mitophagy proteins were detected by western blot. RESULTS In this study, we first found that cirsiliol inhibited cell viability, colony formation, and wound healing abilities of HCT116 and SW480 colon cancer cells. Moreover, cirsiliol suppressed Δψm, increased ROS production, and disrupted mitochondrial morphology via inhibiting the levels of mitophagy proteins including PINK1, Parkin, BNIP3, and FUNDC1. Application of mitophagy activator improved the levels of mitophagy-related proteins, and ameliorated Δψm and ROS levels. According to the result of molecular docking, we found that cirsiliol potentially bound to the SH2 domain of STAT3, the key domain for the functional activation of STAT3. Moreover, it was found that cirsiliol inhibited constitutive and IL‑6‑induced STAT3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation by western blot and immunofluorescence analysis. Comparing with cirsiliol group, we found that overexpression of STAT3 restored the expressions of mitophagy proteins. CONCLUSIONS Cirsiliol targets STAT3 to inhibit colon cancer cell proliferation by regulating mitophagy.

Abstract
A buried straight waveguide perturbed periodically by six antennas composed of submicronic cylinder voids is entirely fabricated using ultrafast laser photoinscription. The light scattered from each antenna is oriented vertically and is detected by a short-wave IR camera bonded to the surface of the glass with no relay optics. The response of each antenna is analyzed using a wavelength tunable laser source and compared to simulated responses verifying the behavior of the antenna. These results show the good potential of the direct laser writing technique to realize monolithic embedded detectors by combining complex optical functions within a 3D design. A wavelength meter application with a spectral resolution of 150 pm is proposed to demonstrate this combination.

Abstract
Complex cognitive abilities are thought to arise from the ability of the brain to adaptively reconfigure its internal network structure as a function of task demands. Recent work has suggested that this inherent flexibility may in part be conferred by the widespread projections of the ascending arousal systems. While the different components of the ascending arousal system are often studied in isolation, there are anatomical connections between neuromodulatory hubs that we hypothesise are crucial for mediating key features of adaptive network dynamics, such as the balance between integration and segregation. To test this hypothesis, we estimated the strength of structural connectivity between key hubs of the noradrenergic and cholinergic arousal systems (the locus coeruleus [LC] and nucleus basalis of Meynert [nbM], respectively). We then asked whether the strength of structural LC and nbM inter-connectivity was related to individual differences in the emergent, dynamical signatures of functional integration measured from resting state fMRI data, such as network and attractor topography. We observed a significant positive relationship between the strength of white-matter connections between the LC and nbM and the extent of network-level integration following BOLD signal peaks in LC relative to nbM activity. In addition, individuals with denser white-matter streamlines interconnecting neuromodulatory hubs also demonstrated a heightened ability to shift to novel brain states. These results suggest that individuals with stronger structural connectivity between the noradrenergic and cholinergic systems have a greater capacity to mediate the flexible network dynamics required to support complex, adaptive behaviour. Furthermore, our results highlight the underlying static features of the neuromodulatory hubs can impose some constraints on the dynamic features of the brain.

Abstract
BackgroundSeptal myectomy (SM) has been the gold standard therapy for most patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Endocardial radiofrequency ablation of septal hypertrophy (ERASH) is a novel treatment for septal reduction. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety between two treatment strategies.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases to identify relevant studies published up to March 2021. Random-effect models were used to calculate standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for resting left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOTG) and septal thickness.ResultsTwenty-five studies are included in this review, eighteen studies for SM and seven studies for ERASH. During follow-up, there were significant reductions of the mean resting LVOTG in adults (SM groups: SMD = −3.03, 95% CI [−3.62 to −2.44]; ERASH groups: SMD = −1.95, 95% CI [−2.45 to −1.45]) and children (SM groups: SMD = −2.67, 95% CI [−3.21 to −2.12]; ERASH groups: SMD= −2.37, 95% CI [−3.02 to −1.73]) after the septal reduction therapies. For adults, SM groups contributed to more obvious reduction than ERASH groups in interventricular septal thickness (SM groups: SMD = −1.82, 95% CI [−2.29 to −1.34]; ERASH groups: SMD = −0.43, 95% CI [−1.00 to 0.13]). The improvement of the New York Heart Association class was similar in the two groups (SM groups: 46.4%; ERASH groups: 46.7%). The periprocedural mortality in SM and ERASH were 1.1 and 1.8%, respectively.ConclusionsThis systematic review suggests that SM is superior to ERASH in the treatment of HOCM. But for the patients who are at risk for open cardiac surgeries or prefer a less invasive approach, ERASH might be an optional approach.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, neuroimaging has become a ubiquitous tool in basic research and clinical studies of the human brain. However, no reference standards currently exist to quantify individual differences in neuroimaging metrics over time, in contrast to growth charts for anthropometric traits such as height and weight1. Here we assemble an interactive open resource to benchmark brain morphology derived from any current or future sample of MRI data ( http://www.brainchart.io/ ). With the goal of basing these reference charts on the largest and most inclusive dataset available, acknowledging limitations due to known biases of MRI studies relative to the diversity of the global population, we aggregated 123,984 MRI scans, across more than 100 primary studies, from 101,457 human participants between 115 days post-conception to 100 years of age. MRI metrics were quantified by centile scores, relative to non-linear trajectories2 of brain structural changes, and rates of change, over the lifespan. Brain charts identified previously unreported neurodevelopmental milestones3, showed high stability of individuals across longitudinal assessments, and demonstrated robustness to technical and methodological differences between primary studies. Centile scores showed increased heritability compared with non-centiled MRI phenotypes, and provided a standardized measure of atypical brain structure that revealed patterns of neuroanatomical variation across neurological and psychiatric disorders. In summary, brain charts are an essential step towards robust quantification of individual variation benchmarked to normative trajectories in multiple, commonly used neuroimaging phenotypes.

Abstract
AimsCytokine storm is closely related to the initiation and progression of sepsis, and the level of IL-6 is positively correlated with mortality and organ dysfunction. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is one of the major complications. However, the role of the IL-6/STAT3 signaling in the SIMD remains unclear.Methods and ResultsSeptic mice were induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 mg/kg). Echocardiography, cytokines detection, and histologic examination showed that sepsis mice developed cardiac systolic and diastolic dysfunction, increase of inflammatory cytokines in serum, activated STAT3 and TLR4/NFκB pathway in heart, and raised myocardial apoptosis, which were attenuated by IL-6/STAT3 inhibitor, Bazedoxifene. In vitro, we found that LPS decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner and activated STAT3. Western blot and immunofluorescence results indicated that STAT3 phosphorylation induced by LPS was inhibited by Bazedoxifene. Bazedoxifene also suppressed LPS-induced IL-6 transcription. sIL-6R caused LPS-induced p-STAT3 firstly decreased and then significantly increased. More importantly, we found STAT3-knockdown suppressed LPS-induced expression of FUNDC1, a protein located in mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs). Overexpression of STAT3 led to an increase in FUNDC1 expression. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm that STAT3 was a potential transcription factor for FUNDC1. Moreover, we showed that LPS increased MAMs formation and intracellular Ca2+ levels, enhanced the expression of Cav1.2 and RyR2, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular ATP levels, and promoted mitochondrial fragmentation, the expression of mitophagy proteins and ROS production in H9c2 cells, which were reversed by knockdown of FUNDC1 and IL-6/STAT3 inhibitor including Bazedoxifene and Stattic.ConclusionsIL-6/STAT3 pathway plays a key role in LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction, through regulating the FUNDC1-associated MAMs formation and interfering the function of ER and mitochondria. IL-6/STAT3/FUNDC1 signaling could be a new therapeutic target for SIMD.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a severe complication of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by aberrant myocardial structure and function and is the primary cause of heart failure and death in diabetic patients. Endothelial dysfunction plays an essential role in diabetes and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, but its role in DCM is unclear. Previously, we showed that S-nitroso-L-cysteine(CSNO), an endogenous S-nitrosothiol derived from eNOS, inhibited the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), a critical negative modulator of insulin signaling. In this study, we reported that CSNO treatment induced cellular insulin-dependent and insulin-independent glucose uptake. In addition, CSNO activated insulin signaling pathway and promoted GLUT4 membrane translocation. CSNO protected cardiomyocytes against high glucose-induced injury by ameliorating excessive autophagy activation, mitochondrial impairment and oxidative stress. Furthermore, nebulized CSNO improved cardiac function and myocardial fibrosis in diabetic mice. These results suggested a potential site for endothelial modulation of insulin sensitivity and energy metabolism in the development of DCM. Data from these studies will not only help us understand the mechanisms of DCM, but also provide new therapeutic options for treatment.

Abstract
The cardiovascular complications contribute to a majority of diabetes associated morbidity and mortality, accounting for 44% of death in those patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and 52% of deaths in type 2 DM. Diabetes elicits cardiovascular dysfunction through 2 major mechanisms: ischemic and non-ischemic. Non-ischemic injury is usually under-recognized although common in DM patients, and also a pathogenic factor of heart failure in those diabetic individuals complicated with ischemic heart disease. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as a heart disease in which the myocardium is structurally and functionally abnormal in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertensive, valvular, or congenital heart disorders in diabetic patients, theoretically caused by non-ischemic injury solely. Current therapeutic strategies targeting DCM mainly address the increased blood glucose levels, however, the effects on heart function are disappointed. Accumulating data indicate endothelial dysfunction plays a critical role in the initiation and development of DCM. Hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance cause the damages of endothelial function, including barrier dysfunction, impaired nitric oxide (NO) activity, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, oxidative stress, and inflammatory dysregulation. In turn, endothelial dysfunction promotes impaired myocardial metabolism, intracellular Ca2+ mishandling, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, mitochondrial defect, accumulation of advanced glycation end products, and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposit, leads to cardiac stiffness, fibrosis, and remodeling, eventually results in cardiac diastolic dysfunction, systolic dysfunction, and heart failure. While endothelial dysfunction is closely related to cardiac dysfunction and heart failure seen in DCM, clinical strategies for restoring endothelial function are still missing. This review summarizes the timely findings related to the effects of endothelial dysfunction on the disorder of myocardium as well as cardiac function, provides mechanical insights in pathogenesis and pathophysiology of DCM developing, and highlights potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation is associated with drug resistance induced by anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) therapy in the treatment of colon cancer. Thus, the combined inhibition of EGFR and STAT3 may prove beneficial for this type of cancer. STAT3 has been proven to play a critical role in colon cancer initiation and progression, and is considered the primary downstream effector driven by interleukin-6 (IL-6). A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17), documented as an oncogene, catalyzes the cleavage of both EGF and IL-6R, inducing EGFR signaling and enabling IL-6 trans-signaling to activate STAT3 in a wide range of cell types to promote inflammation and cancer development. As a natural product, shikonin (SKN) has been found to function as an antitumor agent; however, its role in the regulation of ADAM17 and IL-6/STAT3 signaling in colon cancer cells remains unknown. In the present study, it was found that SKN inhibited colon cancer cell growth, suppressed both constitutive and IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation, and downregulated the expression of ADAM17. ADAM17 expression was not altered in response to STAT3 knockdown, while IL-6-induced STAT3 activation did not induce ADAM17 transcripts. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that SKN did not affect the expression of key proteins involved in the maturation and degradation of ADAM17. SKN decreased ADAM17 expression possibly through reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated translational inhibition, as evidenced by the increased ADAM17 mRNA and phosphorylation levels of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α). The expression of ADAM17 and p-eIF2α was reversed by N-acetylcysteine (NAC, a ROS scavenger). Taken together, these results indicate that the concurrent inhibition of ADAM17 and IL-6/STAT3 signaling by SKN may synergistically contribute to the suppression of colon cancer cell growth.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Young people hold a stable or increasing percentage of patients with acute myocardial infarction in many countries. However, data on clinical characteristics and outcomes in young patients are lacking.
Purpose
To compare clinical characteristics and outcomes between patients aged ≤45 years and those aged >45 years with acute myocardial infarction.
Methods
A total of 24125 patients with acute myocardial infarction between January 2013 and September 2014 from China Acute Myocardial Infarction (CAMI) registry were included in this study. Clinical characteristics, in-hospital and 2-year outcomes were compared between patients aged ≤45 years (young) and those aged >45 years (older). Gender disparity in prognosis of myocardial infarction was analyzed among young patients.
Results
Of 24125 patients, 2042 (8.5%, 116 female) were aged ≤45 years. Compared with patients aged >45 years, young patients were more often male, current smokers, having medical history of hyperlipidemia and family history of premature coronary artery disease. Young patients were significantly more likely to have clear trigger factor, present with persistent chest pain and suffer ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Symptom onset to admission time was shorter in patients aged ≤45 years. For patients undergoing emergency coronary angiography, those aged ≤45 years were more likely to suffer left anterior descending coronary artery related myocardial infarction. Young patients were significantly more likely to receive percutaneous coronary intervention and other medications at discharge, including dual antiplatelet therapy, statins, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers and β blockers. Compared with patients aged >45 years, young patients experienced significantly lower in-hospital and 2-year mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, a composite of death, reinfarction and stroke) rates (Table 1). Among young patients, women experienced higher in-hospital mortality and MACCE rates than men (Table 2). Women who survived at discharge experienced significantly higher 2-year mortality (1.4% vs 3.8%, Log-rank P=0.0412, Table 2).
Conclusions
Compared with the older patients, young patients were more likely to present with typical symptoms and receive guideline-recommended medications. Clinical outcomes of patients aged ≤45 years were significantly better than older patients. However, our results showed significant gender disparity in both short- and long-term outcomes of young patients. More efforts are needed to improve prognosis in young patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence of urinary incontinence (UI), including its subtypes stress UI (SUI), urgency UI (UUI) and mixed UI (MUI), and to examine risk factors for de novo SUI and UUI in Chinese women. DESIGN Nationwide longitudinal study. SETTING Six geographic regions of China. PARTICIPANTS Women aged ≥20 years old were included using a multistage, stratified, cluster sampling method. METHODS This study was conducted between May 2014 and March 2016, with follow up in 2018. Data on demographics, medical history, lifestyle and physiological and anthropometric information were collected. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Incidence, rate ratio (RR). RESULTS Analyses included 24 985 women (mean age 41.9 years).The follow-up response rate was 55.5%, median follow-up time was 3.7 years. The standardised incidences of UI, SUI, UUI and MUI were 21.2, 13.1, 3.0 and 5.1 per 1000 person-years, respectively. Risk factors for de novo SUI included delivery pattern (vaginal spontaneous delivery RR 2.12, 95% CI 1.62-2.78 and instrumental delivery RR 3.30, 95% CI 1.99-5.45), high body mass index (BMI) (overweight RR 1.52, 95% CI 1.33-1.74 and obesity RR 1.67, 95% CI 1.32-2.11), cigarette smoking (RR 1.54, 95% CI 1.12-2.12), chronic cough (RR 1.44, 95% CI 1.17-1.76), diabetes (RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.10-1.60) and older age (50-59 years RR 1.49, 95% CI 1.16-1.90 and 60-69 years RR 1.61, 95% CI 1.22-2.13).The risk factors significantly associated with de novo UUI were age (RR increased from 1.21, 95% CI 0.74-1.99, at 30-39 years to 6.3, 95% CI 3.85-10.30, at >70 years) and diabetes (RR 1.48, 95% CI 1.05-2.09). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of female UI is 21.2 per 1000 person-years in China. Delivery (vaginal spontaneous delivery, instrumental delivery), high BMI, cigarette smoking, chronic cough, diabetes and older age were risk factors. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT The incidence of female urinary incontinence was 21.2 per 1000 person-years in China. Delivery, BMI, diabetes and old age are risk factors.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
To describe lipidomic characteristics of offspring born to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS-off) women and assess the associations of clinical phenotypes changes with differential lipids.
Summary answer
PCOS-off showed specific changes in lipidomics and some differential lipids (e.g., phosphatidylcholines, lysophosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin) may be the potential markers of aberrant cardiometabolic health.
What is known already
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovarian morphology, affects about 8–13% of women of fertile age. Aberrant metabolic pathophysiological changes and increased pregnancy complications associated with PCOS predispose PCOS patients to have suboptimal intrauterine environments and that may produce a detrimental impact on the cardiometabolic health of their children.
Study design, size, duration
A total of 141 blood plasma samples from 70 children born to PCOS women (43 girls, 27 boys) and 71 healthy control children (44 girls, 27 boys) were obtained for lipidomics.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Blood samples were centrifuged at 2000 rpm, 4 °C for 20 min, and the upper plasma was collected and used for lipid extraction. Then the waters ACQUITY UPLC I-Class system and The Xevo G2-S Q-TOF with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source (Waters, Manchester, UK) was used for chromatographic analysis and mass spectrometry analysis separately.
Main results and the role of chance
In total, 44 metabolites were found to be significantly altered in PCOS-off, including 8 up-regulated and 36 down-regulated metabolites. After stratified by sex, 44 metabolites were found to express differently in girls born to PCOS women (PCOS-g). 13 metabolites were up-regulated, and 31 metabolites were down-regulated, most of which belong to glycerolipids species. While 46 metabolites were found to express differently in boys born to PCOS women (PCOS-b) with 9 increased metabolites and 35 decreased ones, most of which were glycerophospholipids metabolites. Additionally, significant associations between metabolites changes and weight Z-score as well as high density lipoprotein level were found in PCOS-off. In PCOS-g, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein level were found to be correlated with some metabolites, whereas in PCOS-b, thyroid stimulating hormone and high density lipoprotein were correlated with some lipids.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Other species of metabolites except lipids are not included in this study. Besides, some potential confounding maternal factors, such as smoking, drinking, breastfeeding etc. were not included due to the lack of data.
Wider implications of the findings: The results had broadened our understanding of PCOS-off’s cardiometabolic status and emphasized monitor and special management in this susceptible group of population.

Abstract
To assess the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after the use of rivaroxaban or warfarin. To investigate the effects of rivaroxaban and warfarin on gastrointestinal and intracranial hemorrhage in patients with AF, we searched PubMed, Embase, and Medline from the establishment of databases up to 2020. We finally included 38 observational studies involving 1 312 609 patients for the assessment of intracranial hemorrhage, and 33 observational studies involving 1 332 956 patients for the assessment of gastrointestinal bleeding. The rates of intracranial hemorrhage were 0.55% in the rivaroxaban group versus 0.91% in the warfarin group (OR 0.59; 95% CI 0.53-0.66; p < .00001, I2 = 78%). The rates of gastrointestinal bleeding were 2.63% in patients with rivaroxaban versus 2.48% in those with warfarin (OR 1.06; 95% CI 0.96-1.17; p < .00001, I2 = 94%). Rivaroxaban could significantly reduce the risk of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with AF than warfarin, but the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding remained controversy due to no statistical significant difference. Notably, a subgroup analysis demonstrated that patients in rivaroxaban group with severe chronic renal diseases or undergoing hemodialysis exposed to less gastrointestinal hemorrhage risk than the group from warfarin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the biological function of circular RNA ABCB10 (circ-ABCB10) in regulating the progression of glioma and to study the possible underlying mechanisms. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression levels of circ-ABCB10, miR-620 and FABP5 mRNA in glioma tissues, normal surrounding tissues and glioma cell lines were measured by Real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Circ-ABCB10 was silenced by siRNA in glioma cell lines (U87, T98G). The proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells were measured by MTT, wound healing and transwell assays, respectively. The relationship between circ-ABCB10, miR-620 and FABP5 was tested by Dual-Luciferase assay. The expression of proteins was measured by Western blot. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS The expression levels of circ-ABCB10 and FABP5 in glioma tissues and cells were significantly higher than those in their normal counterparts. Moreover, the expression of miR-620 was lower in glioma tissues. Silencing of circ-ABCB10 in glioma cells significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells. Moreover, downregulation of circ-ABCB10 induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in glioma cells. Furthermore, inhibition of miR-620 showed the opposite effects to silencing circ-ABCB10 on glioma cells. Dual-Luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that circ-ABCB10 could bind to miR-620 and that FABP5 was a direct target of miR-620. Western blot results showed that circ-ABCB10 could stabilize the expression of FABP5, while miR-620 decreased the expression of FABP5. Furthermore, overexpression of FABP5 abrogated the silencing effects of circ-ABCB10 in glioma cells. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that circ-ABCB10 affects glioma progression by regulating the miR-620/FABP5 axis, and circ-ABCB10 might be used as a potential target for the treatment of glioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation and oxidative stress are involved in the initiation and progress of heart failure (HF). However, the role of the IL6/STAT3 pathway in the pressure overload-induced HF remains controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) was used to induce pressure overload-HF in C57BL/6J mice. 18 mice were randomized into three groups (Sham, TAC, and TAC+raloxifene, n = 6, respectively). Echocardiographic and histological results showed that cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and left ventricular dysfunction were manifested in mice after TAC treatment of eight weeks, with aggravation of macrophage infiltration and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) expression in the myocardium. TAC (four and eight weeks) elevated the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) and prohibitin2 (PHB2) protein expression. Importantly, IL-6/gp130/STAT3 inhibition by raloxifene alleviated TAC-induced myocardial inflammation, cardiac remodeling, and dysfunction. In vitro, we demonstrated cellular hypertrophy with STAT3 activation and oxidative stress exacerbation could be elicited by IL-6 (25 ng/mL, 48 h) in H9c2 myoblasts. Sustained IL-6 stimulation increased intracellular reactive oxygen species, repressed mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), decreased intracellular content of ATP, and led to decreased SOD activity, an increase in iNOS protein expression, and increased protein expression of Pink1, Parkin, and Bnip3 involving in mitophagy, all of which were reversed by raloxifene. CONCLUSION Inflammation and IL-6/STAT3 signaling were activated in TAC-induced HF in mice, while sustained IL-6 incubation elicited oxidative stress and mitophagy-related protein increase in H9c2 myoblasts, all of which were inhibited by raloxifene. These indicated IL-6/STAT3 signaling might be involved in the pathogenesis of myocardial hypertrophy and HF.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is regarded as chronic inflammatory disease. The IL-6/STAT3 pathway plays an important role in inflammation. We previously described a small-molecule compound, Bazedoxifene, which target IL-6/STAT3 pathway and has been approved for clinical use for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Bazedoxifene in the progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice. Five-week-old male ApoE-/- mice were fed with High-fat diet (HFD) containing 5 mg/kg Bazedoxifene or a matching control for 12 weeks. Oil red O (ORO) staining was used to detect plaque size; immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the presence of endothelial cells, vascular muscle cells and phosphorylated STAT3 (P-STAT3) in localized plaques. The potential underlying mechanisms in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and vascular muscle cells (VSMCs) was detected by Western blot analysis, Wound healing assay and Elisa assay. In the ApoE-/- mice fed with HFD, daily Bazedoxifene administration effectively attenuated atherosclerotic plaque area (P < 0.01), down-regulated IL-6 levels (P < 0.01), decreased STAT3 phosphorylation, reduced VSMCs proliferation and increased endothelial coverage in aortic vessels. Interestingly, we found HUVECs lack of membrane IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) compared to VSMCs (P < 0.01). Furthermore, we found that the soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL6R) participates in the activation of STAT3 induced by IL-6 or TNF-α in HUVECs and primary HUVECs. Bazedoxifene did not inhibit the growth of HUVECs while suppressing the proliferation of VSMCs. Bazedoxifene is an attractive novel therapeutic reagent for atherosclerosis diseases. This mechanism may be partially attributed to regulating IL-6/IL-6R/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive and life-threatening chronic disease in which increased pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and pulmonary vasculature remodeling are prevalent. Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) has been used in newborns to decrease PAP in the clinic; however, the effects of NO endogenous derivatives, S-nitrosothiols (SNO), on PH are still unknown. We have reported that S-nitroso-L-cysteine (CSNO), one of the endogenous derivatives of NO, inhibited RhoA activity through oxidative nitrosation of its C16/20 residues, which may be beneficial for both vasodilation and remodeling. In this study, we presented data to show that inhaled CSNO attenuated PAP in the monocrotaline- (MCT-) induced PH rats and, moreover, improved right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by RV overloaded pressure. In addition, aerosolized CSNO significantly inhibited the hyperactivation of signal transducers and activators of transduction 3 (STAT3) and extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) pathways in the lung of MCT-induced rats. CSNO also regulated the expression of smooth muscle contractile protein and improved aberrant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitophagy in lung tissues following MCT induction. On the other hand, CSNO inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro, which is induced by angiotensin II (AngII) as well as interleukin 6 (IL-6). In addition, CSNO inhibited excessive ER stress and mitophagy induced by AngII and IL-6 in vitro; finally, STAT3 and ERK phosphorylation was inhibited by CSNO in a concentration-dependent manner. Taken together, CSNO led to pulmonary artery relaxation and regulated pulmonary circulation remodeling through anti-ROS and anti-inflammatory pathways and may be used as a therapeutic option for PH treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous cropping has resulted in the accumulation of self-toxic substances in faba beans which has restricted their global production. Intercropping is widely used to alleviate these problems. AIMS To explore the role of cinnamic acid stress in faba bean physiology and disease resistance, and the potential mitigating effects of intercropping the faba bean with wheat. METHODS Faba bean seedlings were grown with or without wheat in both field and hydroponic conditions in the presence of different cinnamic acid concentrations and Fusarium oxysporum (FOF), the occurrence of. Fusarium-mediated wilt and oxidative stress, as well as plant growth indices and the anti-pathogen defense system were analyzed. RESULTS Cinnamic acid significantly increased Fusarium pathogenicity, inhibited the activity of defense enzymes and reduced the ability of plants to resist pathogens, indicating the importance of cinnamic acid in the promotion of Fusarium wilt resulting in reduced seedling growth. Intercropping with wheat improved plant resistance by alleviating cinnamic acid-induced stress, which promoted crop growth and decreased the incidence and disease index of Fusarium wilt. CONCLUSION Cinnamic acid promotes Fusarium wilt by stimulating pathogen enzyme production and destroying the defense capability of faba bean roots. Intercropping reduces Fusarium wilt by alleviating the damage caused by cinnamic acid to the defense system of the faba bean root system.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS) steadily increases with age. There is a consensus that intervention should be advised in patients with symptomatic severe AS. However, decision to operate raises complex issues in the elderly due to the increasing operative comorbidity and mortality. There is limited information regarding the characteristics and outcome of elderly patients with symptomatic severe AS who were denied intervention and the reasons leading to the denial.
Purpose
To analyze the decision-making and the prognosis in elderly patients with symptomatic severe AS.
Methods
In a cohort of 8929 patients aged ≥60 years with significant valvular heart disease, we divided patients with severe (valve area ≤1 cm2 or peak velocity ≥4.0 m/s or mean gradient ≥40 mmHg), symptomatic (angina or NYHA II-IV or syncope) AS into three groups by final treatment decision: intervention group, doctor-deny group, patient-deny group. The impact of characteristics on decision-making was evaluated and 1-year mortality among three groups were compared.
Results
Among 546 patients with severe symptomatic AS, the interventional decision was taken in 338 patients (61.9%), 134 patients (24.5%) were denied intervention by doctor after evaluation and 74 patients (13.5%) refused intervention due to personal preference. In multivariable analysis, age [OR=1.104, 95% CI (1.068–1.142)], multi-comorbidities [OR=4.706, 95% CI (2.355–9.403)] and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) [OR=1.021, 95% CI (1.001–1.042)] were markedly associated with the conservative decision made by doctor, while LVEF >50% [OR=0.260, 95% CI (0.082–0.823)] was significantly linked with the interventional decision. Lower mortality was observed in intervention group during 1-year follow-up compared with either doctor-deny group or patient-deny group (both P<0.001 after adjustment). Further, diabetes [HR=2.513, 95% CI (1.243–5.084)], syncope [HR=2.856, 95% CI (1.338–6.098)], atrial fibrillation (AF) [HR=2.764, 95% CI (1.305–5.855)], stroke [HR=2.921, 95% CI (1.252–6.851)] and multi-comorbidities [HR=3.120, 95% CI (1.363–7.142)] were strong 1-year mortality predictors, whereas interventional treatment [HR=0.195, 95% CI (0.091–0.417)] and LEVF >50% [HR=0.960, 95% CI (0.938–0.984)] were related to lower mortality.
Conclusions
Intervention was denied in about forty percent of elderly patients with symptomatic severe AS. Patients with advanced age, multi-comorbidities and increased LVEDD tended to be denied intervention by doctors, whereas interventions were more likely to be performed on patients with normal LVEF. Diabetes, syncope, AF, stroke and multi-comorbidities were the predictive factors of 1-year mortality. Elderly patients with symptomatic severe AS could benefit from intervention. Patient education needs to be strengthened, to encourage more patients accept the appropriate intervention.
