Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical application value of a novel magnetic navigation ultrasound (MNU) combined with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) dual-guided percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTCD) through the right hepatic duct for the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. The clinical data of 64 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice requiring PTCD through the right hepatic duct at the Hepatobiliary Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Jiangsu Province People's Hospital) from December 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The MNU group (n=32) underwent puncture guided by a novel domestic MNU combined with DSA, and the control group (n=32) underwent puncture guided by traditional DSA. The operation time, number of punctures, X-ray dose after biliary stenting as shown by DSA, patients' tolerance of the operation, success rate of the operation, pre- and post-operative total bilirubin, and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: The operation time of the MNU group was significantly shorter than that of the control group [(17.8±7.3) vs. (31.6±9.9) min, t=-6.35,P=0.001]; the number of punctures in the MNU group was significantly lower [(1.7±0.6) vs. (6.3±3.9) times, t=-6.59, P=0.001]; and the X-ray dose after biliary stenting as shown by DSA in the MNU group was lower than that in the control group [(132±88) vs. (746±187) mGy, t=-16.81,P<0.001]; Five patients in the control group were unable to tolerate the operation, and two stopped the operation, however all patients in the MNU group could tolerate the operation, and all completed the operation, with a success rate of 100% (32/32) in the MNU group compared to 93.8%(30/32) in the control group; the common complications of PTCD were biliary bleeding and infection, and the incidence of biliary bleeding (25.0%, 8/32) and infection (18.8%, 6/32) in the MNU group was significantly lower than that in the control group, 53.1% (17/32) and 28.1% (9/32), respectively. Conclusion: Magnetic navigation ultrasound combined with DSA dual-guided PTCD through the right biliary system for the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice is safe and feasible.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the infection status and molecular types of rhinovirus (RV) among cases of Acute Respiratory Infections (ARIs) in Luohe City, Henan Province, from 2017 to 2022. Methods: From October 2017 to June 2022, clinical and epidemiological data were collected from 2 270 cases of ARIs at Luohe Central Hospital in Henan Province. Throat swab specimens were obtained from these cases. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to screen for RV-positive specimens. Subsequently, the positive samples were subjected to nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (nested RT-PCR) to amplify the full-length VP1 region. Using the MEGA software, along with 169 RV reference strains recommended by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, a phylogenetic tree was constructed to determine RV types. Results: Among the 2 270 cases of ARIs, there were 1 283 male cases (56.52%). The median age (Q1, Q3) was 3 (1, 6) years, with the population under 5 years old accounting for 68.59% (1 557/2 270). RV was detected in 137 cases (6.04%), of which 68 cases (49.64%) showed co-detection with other viruses, with the most common being co-detection with enterovirus, accounting for 14.60% (20/137). The RV detection rates in the age groups of 0~4 years, 5~14 years, 15~59 years, and≥60 years were 6.42% (100/1 557), 4.69% (21/448), 3.80% (6/158), and 9.35% (10/107), respectively, with no statistically significant differences (χ2=5.310, P=0.150). The overall detection rates of RV before (2017-2019) and during (2020-2022) the COVID-19 pandemic showed no statistically significant difference (χ2=1.823, P=0.177). A total of 109 VP1 sequences were obtained, including 62 types. Among them, RV-A, RV-B, and RV-C had 42, 3, and 17 types respectively. Conclusion: RV is one of the predominant pathogens in ARIs cases in Luohe City, Henan Province, from 2017 to 2022. Multiple types of RV co-circulate without any apparent dominant type.

Abstract
Disease progression following androgen ablation was shown to be associated with upregulation of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Longitudinal monitoring of GR expression in circulating extracellular vesicles (EV) may reflect changes in the tumor cell and facilitates detection of acquired resistance. We utilized LNCaP, LREX cells and a patient-derived xenograft, MDA PDX 322-2-6a, for in vitro and in vivo experiments. Plasma-derived EVs were isolated from patients with localized high-risk prostate cancer undergoing androgen ablation. The mRNA levels of GR in EVs and their responsive genes were detected by transcriptome analysis, qRT-PCR and the protein levels by Western blot analysis. We detected changes in GR expression at mRNA and protein levels in EVs derived from LNCaP and LREX cells in in vitro studies. In in vivo experiments, LNCaP and the PDX MDA 322-2-6a-bearing mice were treated with enzalutamide. GR levels in plasma-derived EVs were increased only in those tumors that did not respond to enzalutamide. Treatment of mice bearing enzalutamide-resistant tumors with a GR inhibitor in combination with enzalutamide led to a transient pause in tumor growth in a subset of tumors and decreased GR levels intracellular and in plasma-derived EVs. In a subgroup of patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer treated with androgen signaling inhibition, GR was found upregulated in matching tissue and plasma EVs. These analyses showed that GR levels in plasma-derived EVs may be used for monitoring the transition of GR expression allowing for early detection of resistance to androgen ablation treatment. SIGNIFICANCE Longitudinal monitoring of GR expression in plasma-derived EVs from patients with prostate cancer treated with androgen signaling inhibitors facilitates early detection of acquisition of resistance to androgen receptor signaling inhibition in individual patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer (PCa) typically spreads to the bone, and this distribution is attributed to the central role of the microenvironment in progression. However, metastasis to the adrenal glands, while not as common, does occur. The biology that accounts for adrenal metastases may be attributed to the unique local steroid metabolome and co-clinical characterization may elucidate the role steroid biosynthesis plays in PCa progression. METHODS Three patients with metastatic PCa who had archived tumor tissue from an adrenalectomy were retrospectively identified, and one adrenal metastasis was developed into a xenograft (MDA-PCa-250). The adrenal metastases were characterized by performing somatic DNA whole exome sequencing (WES), RNA-Seq, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and steroid metabolite quantitation. The influence of steroid metabolites on adrenal metastasis cells and tumor growth was tested in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS Clinically, adrenalectomy was performed during castration-resistant oligometastatic disease, and two men experienced resensitization to leuprolide. Somatic DNA WES revealed heterogeneous alterations in tumor suppressor and DNA damage repair pathway genes. Adrenal metastases had active androgen receptor (AR) signaling by IHC, and RNA-Seq supported a potential role for adrenal androgen precursor metabolism in activating the AR. Steroid quantitation suggested the adrenal androgen precursors were converted into testosterone in these metastases, and stable isotope tracing of an organoid from MDA-PCa-250 confirmed the capability of adrenal metastases to biosynthesize testosterone from adrenal precursors. In vitro testing of a cell line derived from MDA-PCa-250 showed that testosterone and cortisol stimulated tumor cell growth. In vivo experiments demonstrated that MDA-PCa-250 grew in intact mice with circulating testosterone, but not in castrated mice. CONCLUSIONS PCa adrenal metastases depend upon AR signaling driven by androgen precursors, androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone, available in the microenvironment, despite the presence of heterogeneous somatic DNA alterations. Moreover, MDA-PCa-250 provides a preclinical model that can recapitulate the unique androgen-dependence of adrenal metastases. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION This study does not report the clinical results of a clinical trial, but it does use samples from a completed clinical trial that is registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01254864).

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) As a basic hypothesis for the effectiveness of flash radiation therapy, the effect of preserving normal tissue during flash radiation is due to the instantaneous chemical depletion of oxygen. A yeast-based biological phantom was created to verify the hypoxic effect of flash radiation therapy. A study to upgrade the previously developed X-Band LINAC to a flash irradiation mode is in progress, and a preceding study is conducted to evaluate the usefulness of a yeast-based biological phantom manufactured by analyzing the change in oxygen by irradiating a high dose in a general radiation therapy device. MATERIALS/METHODS Freeze-dried yeast sample (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S288C) is activated and sub-cultured. For mass production of yeast samples, yeast culture medium is prepared by adding yeast colonies to the ypd medium. This study was conducted to verify the hypoxic effect among the biological mechanisms that occur during flash radiation therapy at the basic stage, and the oxygen concentration change during general radiation irradiation was measured in real time using a DO (Dissolved oxygen) meter and fiber optic sensor designed to do that. To prevent scatter, which is a concern during flash irradiation, the fiber form was used, and precise experiments are possible as a non-invasive oxygen concentration measurement method. Based on 10MV of general radiation therapy device, high-dose radiation of 500-10,000 cGy is irradiated to measure real-time oxygen concentration change. RESULTS As a result of irradiation with high-dose (500-10,000 cGy) radiation of general LINAC, it was confirmed that the oxygen concentration of the yeast culture medium decreased by 5.7-63.2%, and the usefulness of the biological phantom fabricated based on the yeast culture medium was evaluated. CONCLUSION Prior to the analysis of oxygen concentration change in yeast cells during X-Band LINAC flash irradiation, a preliminary study was conducted at a high dose in a general LINAC to obtain a significant result of oxygen concentration change and confirm the usefulness of the yeast-based biological phantom. Prior research was conducted and verified as a general irradiation experiment using a yeast-based biological phantom manufactured based on a DO meter and a fiber optic oxygen sensor. After irradiation with high-dose radiation, the oxygen concentration of the yeast culture medium was measured 5 times, and it was confirmed that there was a change in oxygen concentration of 5.7-63.2%, verifying the usefulness and stability of the biological phantom. The usefulness of the yeast-based biological phantom for high doses was confirmed, and it is expected that the usefulness of the biological phantom for flash radiation can be verified by additionally measuring the change in oxygen concentration of the biological phantom according to the high dose rate in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To classified the fluid location of of grade B and C postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) and propose processing flow. Methods: Data from 232 patients who underwent pancreatic surgery from January 2018 to December 2022 at Department of General Surgery & Hepato-billo-pancreatic,Beijing Hospital were collected retrospectively. Forty-six patients who suffered from grade B and C POPF underwent ultrasound-guided drainage. There were 32 males and 14 females, with an age of (60.2±13.7)years (range:18 to 85 years). The imaging data of postoperative CT were collected and the the fluid location was classified. Then analyzed the drainage status when patents were diagnosed as POPF. Machine learning was performed and a random forest model was applied to construct the relationship between intervention time and mortality. The optimal intervention time was calculated. The patients were then divided into early and late intervention groups and clinical data and outcomes were compared using the t test,Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher's exact test between the two groups. Results: Based on the results of the random forest model, the optimal puncture time was within 5.38 days after the diagnosis of POPF. Based on the optimal time, 21 patients were subsumed into early intervention group and 25 patients were subsumed into late intervention group. The location of fluid collection was classified into four types: peripancreatic (32.7%,15/46), extra-pancreatic and epigastric (41.3%,19/46), extra-pancreatic and hypogastic (13.0%,6/46) and diffused (13.0%,6/46). The status of the drainage included normal in 10 patients (21.8%), displaced drain in 18 patients (39.1%) and drain removed or blocked in 18 patients (39.1%). The perioperative mortality rate was 19.0% (4/21) in the early intervention group and 8.0%(2/25) in the late. The late intervention group had significantly higher rates of positive drainage fluid cultures (88.0%(22/25) vs. 42.9%(10/21), χ2=10.584, P=0.001), secondary surgery (24.0%(6/25) vs. 0(0/21), P=0.025), and readmission within 90 days(32.0%(8/25) vs. 4.8%(1/21),χ2=5.381, P=0.020) than the early group, and a significantly longer postoperative hospital stay(M(IQR))(24(20)days vs. 39(53)days,Z=3.023,P=0.003). Conclusions: The location of the POPF fluid collection is classified into four types. Early radiological evaluation can detect abdominal effusion promptly,and early puncture and drainage will be beneficial in improving outcomes in these patents.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the infection status of Enterovirus (EV) in cases of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in Luohe City, Henan Province from 2017 to 2021, and analyze the prevalence and type composition of EV in ARIs. Methods: From October 2017 to May 2021, pharyngeal swab samples were collected from 1 828 patients with ARIs in Luohe Central Hospital and the clinical epidemiological data of these cases were also collected. EV-positive samples were identified by Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). The 5'-untranslated region (5'UTR) was amplified by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). The results of 5'UTR region were initially typed by Enterovirus Genotyping Tool Version 1.0. Based on the typing results, the full-length of VP1 region was amplified by RT-PCR. The EV typing was identified again by VP1 region. Results: Among 1 828 cases of ARIs, 56.7% (1 036) were males. The median (Q1, Q3) age was about 3 (1, 5) years. Patients under 5 years old accounted for 71.6% (1 309 cases). Among all cases, a total of 71 EV-positive samples were identified by qPCR, with a detection rate of 3.88% (71/1 828). The EV detection rates for men and women were 3.28% (34/1 036) and 4.67% (37/792), without statistically significant differences (χ2=2.32, P=0.14). The EV detection rates for 2 to <6 years, 6 months to <2 years, 6 to <10 years, and <6 months were 6.29% (48/763), 3.00% (18/600), 2.52% (4/159), and 1.67% (1/60) (χ2=27.91, P<0.001). The EV detection rate was 0.92% (3/326) in autumn and winter of 2017. The EV detection rates were 1.18% (6/508), 2.47% (12/485) and 8.31% (34/409) in each year from 2018 to 2020, with an increasing trend year by year(χ2trend=29.76, P<0.001). The main prevalent seasons were summer and autumn. The detection rate in spring of 2021 was 4.00% (4/100). A total of 12 types were identified and classified as CVA2, CVA4, CVA5, CVA6, CVA10, CVB3, CVB5, E5, E11, E30, PV-1, and EV-D68. The types of CVA2, CVA10, CVA6, and CVB3 were the dominant phenotypes. In 59 sample of EV typing, the main clinical manifestation was upper respiratory tract infection (36/59, 61.01%). The dominant types detected in upper respiratory tract infections were CVA10 (10/36, 27.78%), CVA6 (9/36, 25.00%) and CVB3 (8/36, 22.22%). The dominant type detected in lower respiratory tract infections was CVA2 (7/19, 36.84%). Conclusion: In Luohe City, Henan Province from 2017 to 2021, EV infection in ARIs cases has clear seasonal and age-specific patterns, and the dominant types of upper and lower respiratory tract infections are different.

Abstract
Metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) in bone induces bone-forming lesions. We have previously shown that PCa-induced bone originates from endothelial cells (ECs) that have undergone EC-to-osteoblast (OSB) transition. Here, we investigated whether EC-to-OSB transition also occurs during normal bone formation. We developed an EC and OSB dual-color reporter mouse (DRM) model that marks EC-OSB hybrid cells with red and green fluorescent proteins. We observed EC-to-OSB transition (RFP and GFP co-expression) in both endochondral and intramembranous bone formation during embryonic development and in adults. Co-expression was confirmed in cells isolated from DRM. Bone marrow- and lung-derived ECs underwent transition to OSBs and mineralization in osteogenic medium. RNA-sequencing revealed GATA family transcription factors were upregulated in EC-OSB hybrid cells and knockdown of GATA3 inhibited BMP4-induced mineralization. Our findings support that EC-to-OSB transition occurs during normal bone development and suggest a new paradigm regarding the endothelial origin of OSBs.

Abstract
Clinical studies have shown that subsets of patients with cancer achieve a significant benefit from Aurora kinase inhibitors, suggesting an urgent need to identify biomarkers for predicting drug response. Chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 1 (CHD1) is involved in chromatin remodeling, DNA repair, and transcriptional plasticity. Prior studies have demonstrated that CHD1 has distinct expression patterns in cancers with different molecular features, but its impact on drug responsiveness remains understudied. Here, we show that CHD1 promotes the susceptibility of prostate cancer cells to inhibitors targeting Aurora kinases, while depletion of CHD1 impairs their efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Pan-cancer drug sensitivity analyses revealed that high expression of CHD1 was associated with increased sensitivity to Aurora kinase A (AURKA) inhibitors. Mechanistically, KPNA2 served as a direct target of CHD1 and suppressed the interaction of AURKA with the coactivator TPX2, thereby rendering cancer cells more vulnerable to AURKA inhibitors. Consistent with previous research reporting that loss of PTEN elevates CHD1 levels, studies in a genetically engineered mouse model, patient-derived organoids, and patient samples showed that PTEN defects are associated with a better response to AURKA inhibition in advanced prostate cancer. These observations demonstrate that CHD1 plays an important role in modulating Aurora kinases and drug sensitivities, providing new insights into biomarker-driven therapies targeting Aurora kinases for future clinical studies. SIGNIFICANCE CHD1 plays a critical role in controlling AURKA activation and promoting Aurora kinase inhibitor sensitivity, providing a potential clinical biomarker to guide cancer treatment.

Abstract
Metastatic prostate cancer in the bone induces bone-forming lesions that contribute to progression and therapy resistance. Prostate cancer-induced bone formation originates from endothelial cells (EC) that have undergone endothelial-to-osteoblast (EC-to-OSB) transition in response to tumor-secreted BMP4. Current strategies targeting prostate cancer-induced bone formation are lacking. Here, we show that activation of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) inhibits EC-to-OSB transition and reduces prostate cancer-induced bone formation. Treatment with palovarotene, an RARγ agonist being tested for heterotopic ossification in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, inhibited EC-to-OSB transition and osteoblast mineralization in vitro and decreased tumor-induced bone formation and tumor growth in several osteogenic prostate cancer models, and similar effects were observed with the pan-RAR agonist all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Knockdown of RARα, β, or γ isoforms in ECs blocked BMP4-induced EC-to-OSB transition and osteoblast mineralization, indicating a role for all three isoforms in prostate cancer-induced bone formation. Furthermore, treatment with palovarotene or ATRA reduced plasma Tenascin C, a factor secreted from EC-OSB cells, which may be used to monitor treatment response. Mechanistically, BMP4-activated pSmad1 formed a complex with RAR in the nucleus of ECs to activate EC-to-OSB transition. RAR activation by palovarotene or ATRA caused pSmad1 degradation by recruiting the E3-ubiquitin ligase Smad ubiquitination regulatory factor1 (Smurf1) to the nuclear pSmad1/RARγ complex, thus blocking EC-to-OSB transition. Collectively, these findings suggest that palovarotene can be repurposed to target prostate cancer-induced bone formation to improve clinical outcomes for patients with bone metastasis. SIGNIFICANCE This study provides mechanistic insights into how RAR agonists suppress prostate cancer-induced bone formation and offers a rationale for developing RAR agonists for prostate cancer bone metastasis therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of diammonium glycyrrhizinate (DG) on liver injury in severely scalded rats. Methods: The experimental research method was used. Fifty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 7-9 weeks were divided into sham injury group with simulated injury on the back, and simple scald group and scald+DG group with scald of 30% total body surface area on the back, with 18 rats in each group. Rats in sham injury group were not specially treated after injury, and rats in simple scald group and scald+DG group were rehydrated for antishock. Besides, rats in scald+DG group were injected intraperitoneally with 50 mg/kg DG at post injury hour (PIH) 1, 25, and 49. Rats in the three groups were collected, the serum content of liver function injury related indexes including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total protein, and albumin was measured by automatic biochemical assay analyzer, and serum content of ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCT) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method at PIH 24, 48, and 72; hepatic histopathological changes at PIH 72 were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining; the mRNA expressions of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78), activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), and protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) in liver tissue were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction at PIH 24, 48, and 72. The protein expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, GRP78, PERK, and ATF4 in liver tissue were detected by Western blotting at PIH 72 in sham injury group and PIH 24, 48, and 72 in simple scald group and scald+DG group. The number of samples was 6 in each group at each time point. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for factorial design, one-way analysis of variance, and Bonferroni test. Results: Compared with that in sham injury group, the serum content of AST, ALT, and LDH was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the serum content of total protein and albumin was significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01) of rats in simple scald group at all post-injury time points. Compared with those in simple scald group, the serum AST content of rats in scald+DG group at PIH 24 was decreased significantly (P<0.05); the serum AST, ALT, and LDH content of rats in scald+DG group at PIH 48 was decreased significantly (P<0.01), and the serum total protein content was increased significantly (P<0.01); the serum AST, ALT, and LDH content of rats in scald+DG group at PIH 72 was decreased significantly (P<0.01), and the serum total protein and albumin content was increased significantly (P<0.01). At PIH 24, 48, and 72, the serum OCT content of rats in simple scald group was (48.5±3.9), (40.8±2.4), and (38.7±2.0) U/L, which was significantly higher than (15.1±2.5), (15.7±2.6), and (16.4±3.7) U/L in sham injury group (P<0.01), and (39.0±4.5), (31.8±2.0), and (22.1±2.6) U/L in scald+DG group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). At PIH 72, the cells in liver tissue of rats in sham injury group had normal morphology and regular arrangement, with no obvious inflammatory cell infiltration; the cells in liver tissue of rats in simple scald group had disordered arrangement, diffuse steatosis, and moderate inflammatory cell infiltration; the cells in liver tissue of rats in scald+DG group arranged regularly, with scattered steatosis and a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with those in sham injury group, the Bcl-2 mRNA (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and protein expressions of liver tissue were significantly decreased, and the mRNA (P<0.01) and protein expressions of Bax were significantly increased in rats in simple scald group at PIH 24, 48, and 72. Compared with those in simple scald group, the mRNA (P<0.05) and protein expressions of Bax in liver tissue of rats in scald+DG group were decreased significantly at PIH 48; the mRNA (P<0.01) and protein expressions of Bax in liver tissue of rats in scald+DG group were significantly decreased, and the mRNA (P<0.01) and protein expressions of Bcl-2 were significantly increased at PIH 72. Compared with those in sham injury group, the mRNA (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and protein expressions of ATF4, GRP78, and PERK in liver tissue were significantly increased in rats in simple scald group at all post-injury time points. Compared with those in simple scald group, the mRNA (P<0.01) and protein expressions of ATF4 in liver tissue of rats in scald+DG group at PIH 48 were significantly decreased, and the mRNA (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and protein expressions of ATF4, GRP78, and PERK were significantly decreased in liver tissue of rats in scald+DG group at PIH 72. Conclusions: DG can effectively reduce the degree of liver injury in rats after severe scald, and the mechanism may involve alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitigating mitochondrial damage.

Abstract
Objective: To study the surgical safety and efficacy of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with anti-angiogenic drugs in patients with China liver cancer staging(CNLC)-Ⅱb and Ⅲa resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: The data of 129 patients with Ⅱb and Ⅲa hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups: the neoadjuvant therapy group(n=14,13 males and 1 female,aged (55.4±12.6)years(range:34 to 75 years)) received immune combined targeted therapy before surgery,immune checkpoint inhibitor camrelizumab was administered intravenously at a dose of 200 mg each time,every 2 weeks for 3 cycles,anti-angiogenesis drug apatinib was taken orally and continuously with a dose of 250 mg for 3 weeks and the conventional surgery group(n=115,103 males and 12 females,aged (55.8±12.0)years(range:21 to 83 years)) did not receive antitumor systemic therapy before surgery. There were 3 patients with CNLC-Ⅱb,11 with CNLC-Ⅲa in the neoadjuvant group;28 patients with CNLC-Ⅱb,87 with CNLC-Ⅲa in the conventional group. Student's t test or rank-sum test was used to compare the differences between two groups for quantitative data, Fisher's exact probability method was used to compare the differences of proportions between two groups, and Log-rank test was used to compare survival differences between two groups. Results: The 1-year recurrence rate in the neoadjuvant group was 42.9%,and the 1-year recurrence rate in the conventional group was 64.0%,with a statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ²=3.850,P=0.050);The 1-year survival rate in the neoadjuvant group was 100% and that in the conventional group was 74.2%,with a statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ²=5.170,P=0.023). According to the stratified analysis of the number of tumors,for single tumor,the 1-year recurrence rate in the neoadjuvant group was 25.0%,and that in the conventional surgery group was 71.0%,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ²=5.280, P=0.022). For multiple tumors, the 1-year recurrence rate in the neoadjuvant group was 66.7%,and the 1-year recurrence rate in the conventional surgery group was 58.9%,with no significant difference between the two groups(χ²=0.110,P=0.736). The operative time,intraoperative blood loss,and postoperative hospital stay in the neoadjuvant group were similar to those in the conventional group,and their differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with anti-angiogenic targeted drugs as a neoadjuvant therapy for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma can reduce the 1-year recurrence rate and improve the 1-year survival rate,especially for those with solitary tumor. Limited by the sample size of the neoadjuvant group,the safety of immune combined targeted therapy before surgery cannot be observed more comprehensively,and further studies will be explored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the serum microRNA (miRNA) expression and examine the impact of miRNA expression profiles on T helper type 17 (Th17)/regulatory T cells (Treg) imbalance among patients with cystic echinococcosis, so as to provide insights into the illustration of the mechanisms underlying chronic Echinococcus granulosus infections, and long-term pathogenesis. METHODS Total RNA was extracted from the sera of cystic echinococcosis patients and healthy controls, and subjected to high-throughput sequencing with the Illumina sequencing platform. Known miRNAs were annotated and new miRNAs were predicted using the miRBase database and the miRDeep2 tool, and differentially expressed miRNAs were identified. The target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted using the software miRanda and TargetScan, and the intersection was selected for Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Among the differentially expressed miRNAs with the 20 highest fold changes, miRNAs that targeted genes relating to key transcription factors RORC and FOXP3 that determine the production of Th17 and Treg cells or their important regulatory pathways (PI3K-Akt and mTOR pathways) were matched. RESULTS A total of 53 differentially expressed miRNAs were screened in sera of cystic echinococcosis patients and healthy controls, including 47 up-regulated miRNAs and 6 down-regulated miRNAs. GO enrichment analysis showed that these differentially expressed miRNA were involved DNA transcription and translation, cell components, cell morphology, neurodevelopment and metabolic decomposition, and KEGG pathway analysis showed that the differentially expressed miRNA were mainly involved in MAPK, PI3K-Akt and mTOR signaling pathways. Among the differentially expressed miRNAs with the 20 highest fold changes, there were 3 miRNAs that had a potential for target regulation of RORC, and 15 miRNAs that had a potential to target the PI3K-Akt and mTOR signaling pathways. CONCLUSIONS Significant changes are found in serum miRNA expression profiles among patients with E. granulosus infections, and differentially expressed miRNAs may lead to Th17/Treg imbalance through targeting the key transcription factors of Th17/Treg or PI3K-Akt and mTOR pathways, which facilitates the long-term parasitism of E. granulosus in hosts and causes a chronic disease.

Abstract
Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist, reduces pain by decreasing central sensitization and pain windup. However, chronic ketamine use can cause tolerance, dependency, impaired consciousness, urinary symptoms, and abdominal pain. This study aimed to investigate the effects of repeated ketamine injections and ketamine readministration after discontinuation in a rat model of neuropathic pain. To induce neuropathic pain, partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) was performed in 15 male Wistar rats, and these animals were divided into three groups: PSNL (control), PSNL + ketamine 5 mg/kg (K5), and PSNL + ketamine 10 mg/kg (K10; n=5 each). Ketamine was injected intraperitoneally daily for 4 weeks, discontinued for 2 weeks, and then readministered for 1 week. Following PSNL, the mechanical withdrawal threshold was determined weekly using the Von Frey. The K10 group showed a significant increase in the mechanical withdrawal threshold, presented here as the target force (in g), at 21 and 28 days compared to the time point before ketamine injection (mean±SE, 276.0±24.0 vs. 21.6±2.7 and 300.0±0.0 vs. 21.6±2.7, respectively; P<0.01) and at 14, 21, and 28 days compared to the control group (108.2±51.2 vs. 2.7±1.3, 276.0±24.0 vs. 2.5±1.5, and 300.0±0.0 vs. 4.0±0.0, respectively; P<0.05). However, in the K10 group, the ketamine effects decreased significantly at 7 days after readministration compared to those after 28 days of repeated injections (P<0.05). In the K10 group, repeated ketamine injections showed a significant increase in antinociceptive effect for >2 weeks, but this ketamine effect decreased after drug readministration.

Abstract
Metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) in bone induces bone-forming lesions that enhance PCa progression. How tumor-induced bone formation enhances PCa progression is not known. We have previously shown that PCa-induced bone originates from endothelial cells (ECs) that have undergone endothelial-to-osteoblast (EC-to-OSB) transition by tumor-secreted bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4). Here, we show that EC-to-OSB transition leads to changes in the tumor microenvironment that increases the metastatic potential of PCa cells. We found that conditioned medium (CM) from EC-OSB hybrid cells increases the migration, invasion, and survival of PC3-mm2 and C4-2B4 PCa cells. Quantitative mass spectrometry (Isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation) identified Tenascin C (TNC) as one of the major proteins secreted from EC-OSB hybrid cells. TNC expression in tumor-induced OSBs was confirmed by immunohistochemistry of MDA PCa-118b xenograft and human bone metastasis specimens. Mechanistically, BMP4 increases TNC expression in EC-OSB cells through the Smad1-Notch/Hey1 pathway. How TNC promotes PCa metastasis was next interrogated by in vitro and in vivo studies. In vitro studies showed that a TNC-neutralizing antibody inhibits EC-OSB-CM-mediated PCa cell migration and survival. TNC knockdown decreased, while the addition of recombinant TNC or TNC overexpression increased migration and anchorage-independent growth of PC3 or C4-2b cells. When injected orthotopically, PC3-mm2-shTNC clones decreased metastasis to bone, while C4-2b-TNC-overexpressing cells increased metastasis to lymph nodes. TNC enhances PCa cell migration through α5β1 integrin-mediated YAP/TAZ inhibition. These studies elucidate that tumor-induced stromal reprogramming generates TNC that enhances PCa metastasis and suggest that TNC may be a target for PCa therapy.

Abstract
Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), a key player in the Hippo pathway, has been shown to play a critical role in tumor progression. However, the role of YAP1 in prostate cancer cell invasion, migration, and metastasis is not well defined. Through functional, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic analyses, we showed that prolyl hydroxylation of YAP1 plays a critical role in the suppression of cell migration, invasion, and metastasis in prostate cancer. Knockdown (KD) or knockout (KO) of YAP1 led to an increase in cell migration, invasion, and metastasis in prostate cancer cells. Microarray analysis showed that the EMT pathway was activated in Yap1-KD cells. ChIP-seq analysis showed that YAP1 target genes are enriched in pathways regulating cell migration. Mass spectrometry analysis identified P4H prolyl hydroxylase in the YAP1 complex and YAP1 was hydroxylated at multiple proline residues. Proline-to-alanine mutations of YAP1 isoform 3 identified proline 174 as a critical residue, and its hydroxylation suppressed cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. KO of P4ha2 led to an increase in cell migration and invasion, which was reversed upon Yap1 KD. Our study identified a novel regulatory mechanism of YAP1 by which P4HA2-dependent prolyl hydroxylation of YAP1 determines its transcriptional activities and its function in prostate cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the main pathogen of severe lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children. It seriously endangers children's health. In recent years, great breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of HRSV vaccines and antibody-based biological products. The research and development and use strategies are inseparable from the monitoring of HRSV prevalence and virus variation characteristics. The World Health Organization (WHO) pays great attentions to the surveillance of HRSV epidemiology and virus variation characteristics, but China lacks national level and multi-center HRSV surveillance data, the surveillance case definitions used by various laboratories are inconsistent, and the detection and surveillance methods of HRSV are not unified. Results from different laboratories are difficult to be compared and analyzed. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a nation-wide HRSV surveillance network in China, and to persistently monitor the epidemic characteristics and virus variation characteristics of HRSV by using standardized HRSV detection methods and surveillance guideline, so as to provide basic scientific data for the research and development, use and evaluation of monoclonal antibodies and vaccines.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of viral pathogen spectrum and the epidemiological characteristics of each viral pathogen in hospitalized cases associated with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in Luohe City, Henan Province from 2017 to 2019. Methods: Based the SARI Case Surveillance Platform, SARI cases were collected in Central Hospital of Luohe City, Henan Province from November 2017 to February 2019. In the end, 783 SARI cases were included, whose throat swabs were taken within 24 h of admission, as well as their demographic characteristics, onset time, clinical characteristics and other information recorded. At the same time, viral identification was performed, and the age and time distribution of each virus were analyzed. Results: The age of 783 SARI cases shown as M (P25, P75) was 3 (1, 5) years old, ranging from 1 month to 95 years old. Children under 5 years old were the majority (71.01%). The males (61.81%) were more than females (38.18%). Among the 783 SARI cases, a total of 9 kind of viruses were identified with 64.88% (508/783) of the throat swabs tested positive for at least one virus. The positive rate of influenza virus and human respiratory syncytial virus were both 20.18% (158 cases), which was the highest among all the detected respiratory virus. The co-infection rate was 15.84% (124/783), among which double infection was the most common, accounting for 85.48% (106/124) of the co-infected cases. And human respiratory syncytial virus, human rhinovirus and influenza virus were the most common pathogen in co-infection cases. Moreover, the viral positive rate was 68.71% in children aged 5 years and 63.27% in people aged 60-95 years. Influenza and human respiratory syncytial virus dominated in winter and spring, while human parainfluenza virus was the main infection in summer. Conclusion: Influenza virus and human respiratory syncytial virus were the main viruses in throat swabs of SARI cases from 2017 to 2019 in Luohe City, Henan Province. There were differences in the age and seasonal epidemiological characteristics of each virus.

Abstract
A fraction of patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for advanced prostate cancer (PCa) will develop recurrent castrate-resistant PCa (CRPC) in bone. Strategies to prevent CRPC relapse in bone are lacking. Here we show that the cholesterol-lowering drugs statins decrease castration-induced bone marrow adiposity in the tumor microenvironment and reduce PCa progression in bone. Using primary bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) and M2-10B4 cells, we showed that ADT increases bone marrow adiposity by enhancing BMSC-to-adipocyte transition in vitro. Knockdown of androgen receptor abrogated BMSC-to-adipocyte transition, suggesting an androgen receptor-dependent event. RNAseq analysis showed that androgens reduce the secretion of adipocyte hormones/cytokines including leptin during BMSC-to-adipocyte transition. Treatment of PCa C4-2b, C4-2B4, and PC3 cells with leptin led to an increase in cell cycle progression and nuclear Stat3. RNAseq analysis also showed that androgens inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, raising the possibility that inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis may decrease BMSC-to-adipocyte transition. Indeed, statins decreased BMSC-to-adipocyte transition in vitro and castration-induced bone marrow adiposity in vivo. Statin pre-treatment reduced 22RV1 PCa progression in bone after ADT. Our findings with statin may provide one of the mechanisms to the clinical correlations that statin use in patients undergoing ADT seems to delay progression to "lethal" PCa.

Abstract
Objective: To study the prevalence and genetic characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) in Quanzhou city, from 2018 to 2019. Methods: A total of 141 throat swabs were collected from children patients of lower respiratory tract infection in Quanzhou children Hospital, Fujian Province from November 2018 to May 2019. RT-PCR was used to amplify the 3 'end of G gene HRSV. Sequencer 5.0 and MEGA5.05 softwares were used for sequence editing, phylogenetic tree construction and genotyping analysis. Results: Twenty-five samples were positive for HRSV. Seventeen samples succeeded to obtain the target gene, including 13 of HRSVA and 4 of HRSVB. Two genotypes were identified: ON1 genotype (13 samples, HRSVA) and BA9 genotype (4 samples, HRSVB). Five strains of ON1 genotype sequences were clustered with the ON1 sequences prevalent in Beijing, Changchun and Zhejiang from 2012 to 2015 (cluster1); one strain (FJ19-02) was clustered with the sequences of ON1 genotype circulating in many regions of China from 2012 to 2015 (cluster2); Seven strains were clustered independently (cluster FJ). FJ18-02, FJ19-14 and FJ19-15 of HRSVB were clustered with the BA9 genotype sequences prevalent in Changchun, Jilin Province in 2015, while FJ19-13 was closely related to the BA9 genotype sequences prevalent in Guangzhou and Zhejiang Province in 2013. Both the ON1 and BA9 genotypes showed variations of nucleotide and amino acid in 72 and 60 insertion segments. Amino acid mutation (H266L) only occurred among the sequence of cluster-FJ, and the mutations of H261Q and Q265L only appeared in strain FJ19-13. Conclusion: BA9 and ON1 genotypes were prevalent in Quanzhou city, from 2018 to 2019. Cluster-FJ was a newly discovered independent transmission chain, which may continue to circulate in local Quanzhou area.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the influence of parental compliance on the treatment of hypertrophic scars in burn children. Methods: A retrospective cohort study method was used. From June 2014 to June 2019, 49 children with post-burn hypertrophic scars who met the inclusion criteria and visited the outpatient department of the Department of Burns of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were included in this study. In the follow-up of 9 months, according to the registration form and the results of the compliance questionnaire for parents, the children were divided into good compliance group (34 cases, 21 males and 13 females, aged 2.0 (2.0, 3.5) years) and poor compliance group (15 cases, 6 males and 9 females, aged 3.0 (2.0, 4.0) years). At the first attendance and in the follow-up of 3, 6, and 9 months, the scar scores of children in good compliance group were evaluated by Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). At the first attendance and in the follow-up of 9 months, the scar scores of children in poor compliance group were evaluated by VSS. At the first attendance and in the follow-up of 9 months, the scar pruritus scores of children in the 2 groups were evaluated by Verbal Rating Score (VRS). Data was statistically analyzed with chi-square test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Mann-Whitney U test, independent sample t test, and paired sample t test. Results: At the first attendance, the color, vascular distribution, softness, and thickness scores, and total score in VSS scoring of scars of children in the two groups were similar (Z=0.834, 0.026, 0.837, 0.076, 1.074, P>0.05). In the follow-up of 9 months, the softness and thickness scores, and total score in VSS scoring of scars of children in good compliance group were significantly lower than those in poor compliance group (Z=5.518, 4.732, 5.042, P<0.01). Compared with those in the first attendance, the color, vascular distribution, softness, and thickness scores, and total score in VSS scoring of scars of children in good compliance group were significantly decreased in the follow-up of 9 months (Z=5.241, 5.273, 5.214, 5.245, 3.451, P<0.01); the color and vascular distribution scores, and total score in VSS scoring of scars of children in poor compliance group were significantly decreased in the follow-up of 9 months (Z=3.606, 3.542, 3.448, P<0.01). At the first attendance, the VRS score of scar pruritus of children in good compliance group was 6.00 (5.00, 6.25) points, which was similar to (5.47±1.69) points in poor compliance group (Z=0.607, P>0.05). In the follow-up of 9 months, the VRS score of scar pruritus of children in good compliance group was 1.00 (1.00, 1.25) points, which was significantly lower than (3.27±1.71) points in poor compliance group (Z=2.606, P<0.01). Compared with those in the first attendance, the VRS score of scar pruritus of children in good compliance group was significantly decreased in the follow-up of 9 months (Z=4.002, P<0.01), while there was no obvious change in poor compliance group in the follow-up of 9 months (t=3.550, P>0.05). Conclusions: Under the same treatment plan, good parental compliance has a positive effect on the treatment of hypertrophic scars in burn children decreasing the degree of scar hyperplasia and pruritus.

Abstract
Cell type transition occurs during normal development and under pathological conditions. In prostate cancer bone metastasis, prostate cancer-secreted BMP4 induces endothelial cell-to-osteoblast (EC-to-OSB) transition. Such tumor-induced stromal reprogramming supports prostate cancer progression. We delineate signaling pathways mediating EC-to-OSB transition using EC lines 2H11 and SVR. We found that BMP4-activated pSmad1-Notch-Hey1 pathway inhibits EC migration and tube formation. BMP4-activated GSK3β-βcatenin-Slug pathway stimulates Osx expression. In addition, pSmad1-regulated Dlx2 converges with the Smad1 and β-catenin pathways to stimulate osteocalcin expression. By co-expressing Osx, Dlx2, Slug and Hey1, we were able to achieve EC-to-OSB transition, leading to bone matrix mineralization in the absence of BMP4. In human prostate cancer bone metastasis specimens and MDA-PCa-118b and C4-2b-BMP4 osteogenic xenografts, immunohistochemical analysis showed that β-catenin and pSmad1 are detected in activated osteoblasts rimming the tumor-induced bone. Our results elucidated the pathways and key molecules coordinating prostate cancer-induced stromal programming and provide potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radium-223 prolongs survival in a fraction of men with bone metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). However, there are no markers for monitoring response and resistance to Radium-223 treatment. Exosomes are mediators of intercellular communication and may reflect response of the bone microenvironment to Radium-223 treatment. We performed molecular profiling of exosomes and compared the molecular profile in patients with favorable and unfavorable overall survival. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed exosomal transcriptome analysis in plasma derived from our preclinical models (MDA-PCa 118b tumors, TRAMP-C2/BMP4 PCa) and from the plasma of 25 patients (paired baseline and end of treatment) treated with Radium-223. All samples were run in duplicate, and array data analyzed with fold changes +2 to -2 and P < 0.05. RESULTS We utilized the preclinical models to establish that genes derived from the tumor and the tumor-associated bone microenvironment (bTME) are differentially enriched in plasma exosomes upon Radium-223 treatment. The mouse transcriptome analysis revealed changes in bone-related and DNA damage repair-related pathways. Similar findings were observed in plasma-derived exosomes from patients treated with Radium-223 detected changes. In addition, exosomal transcripts detected immune-suppressors (e.g., PD-L1) that were associated with shorter survival to Radium-223. Treatment of the Myc-CaP mouse model with a combination of Radium-223 and immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) resulted in greater efficacy than monotherapy. CONCLUSIONS These clinical and coclinical analyses showed that RNA profiling of plasma exosomes may be used for monitoring the bTME in response to treatment and that ICT may be used to increase the efficacy of Radium-223.

Abstract
Genetic inactivation of PTEN is common in prostate cancer and correlates with poorer prognosis. We previously identified CHD1 as an essential gene in PTEN-deficient cancer cells. Here, we sought definitive in vivo genetic evidence for, and mechanistic understanding of, the essential role of CHD1 in PTEN-deficient prostate cancer. In Pten and Pten/Smad4 genetically engineered mouse models, prostate-specific deletion of Chd1 resulted in markedly delayed tumor progression and prolonged survival. Chd1 deletion was associated with profound tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling characterized by reduced myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and increased CD8+ T cells. Further analysis identified IL6 as a key transcriptional target of CHD1, which plays a major role in recruitment of immunosuppressive MDSCs. Given the prominent role of MDSCs in suppressing responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), our genetic and tumor biological findings support combined testing of anti-IL6 and ICI therapies, specifically in PTEN-deficient prostate cancer. SIGNIFICANCE: We demonstrate a critical role of CHD1 in MDSC recruitment and discover CHD1/IL6 as a major regulator of the immunosuppressive TME of PTEN-deficient prostate cancer. Pharmacologic inhibition of IL6 in combination with immune checkpoint blockade elicits robust antitumor responses in prostate cancer.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1241.

Abstract
The cause of chronic inflammatory periodontitis, which leads to the destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, is multifactorial. An increasing number of studies have shown the clinical significance of NLRP3-mediated low-grade inflammation in degenerative disorders, but its causal linkage to age-related periodontitis has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome and the therapeutic potential of NLRP3 inhibition in age-related alveolar bone loss by using in vivo and in vitro models. The poor quality of alveolar bones in aged mice was correlated with caspase-1 activation by macrophages and elevated levels of IL-1β, which are mainly regulated by the NLRP3 inflammasome, in periodontal ligament and serum, respectively. Aged mice lacking Nlrp3 showed better bone mass than age-matched wild-type mice via a way that affects bone resorption rather than bone formation. In line with this finding, treatment with MCC950, a potent inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome, significantly suppressed alveolar bone loss with reduced caspase-1 activation in aged mice but not in young mice. In addition, our in vitro studies showed that the addition of IL-1β encourages RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis from bone marrow-derived macrophages and that treatment with MCC950 significantly suppresses osteoclastic differentiation directly, irrelevant to the inhibition of IL-1β production. Our results suggest that the NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical mediator in age-related alveolar bone loss and that targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome could be a novel option for controlling periodontal degenerative changes with age.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma bone metastases (RCCBM) are typically osteolytic. We previously showed that BIGH3 (beta Ig-h3/TGFBI), secreted by 786-O renal cell carcinoma, plays a role in osteolytic bone lesion in RCCBM through inhibition of osteoblast (OSB) differentiation. To study this interaction, we employed three-dimensional (3D) hydrogels to coculture bone-derived 786-O (Bo-786) renal cell carcinoma cells with MC3T3-E1 pre-OSBs. Culturing pre-OSBs in the 3D hydrogels preserved their ability to differentiate into mature OSB; however, this process was decreased when pre-OSBs were cocultured with Bo-786 cells. Knockdown of BIGH3 in Bo-786 cells recovered OSB differentiation. Furthermore, treatment with bone morphogenetic protein 4, which stimulates OSB differentiation, or cabozantinib (CBZ), which inhibits VEGFR1 and MET tyrosine kinase activities, also increased OSB differentiation in the coculture. CBZ also inhibited pre-osteoclast RAW264.7 cell differentiation. Using RCCBM mouse models, we showed that CBZ inhibited Bo-786 tumor growth in bone. CBZ treatment also increased bone volume and OSB number, and decreased osteoclast number and blood vessel density. When tested in SN12PM6 renal cell carcinoma cells that have been transduced to overexpress BIGH3, CBZ also inhibited SN12PM6 tumor growth in bone. These observations suggest that enhancing OSB differentiation could be one of the therapeutic strategies for treating RCCBM that exhibit OSB inhibition characteristics, and that this 3D coculture system is an effective tool for screening osteoanabolic agents for further in vivo studies.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the reasons for failure of Meek micro-skin grafting in children with severe burns and to observe the clinical effects of the treatment measures. Methods: Thirty children with severe burns hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University (hereinafter referred to as the author's affiliation) from January 2012 to January 2018, conforming to the inclusion criteria were included to failed skin graft group. Children in failed skin graft group were performed with Meek micro-skin grafting operation and the operation failed, including 17 males and 13 females aged 1 to 12 year(s). Thirty children with severe burns hospitalized in the author's affiliation during the same period of time, conforming to the inclusion criteria, were included to successful skin graft group. Children in successful skin graft group were performed with Meek micro-skin grafting operation and the operation succeeded, including 16 males and 14 females aged 1 to 12 year(s). Main treatment measures and effects before operation, area and survival rate of Meek micro-skin graft, infected pathogens status, selection status of sensitive antibiotics, preoperative nutrition status, and wound infection status in plum rain season of children in the two groups, and nutritional status before and after strengthening nutritional support of postoperative surviving children in failed skin graft group were analyzed retrospectively. Data were processed with chi-square test and t test. Results: (1) The numbers of children in the two groups performed with main treatment measures of dilatation and anti-shock, tracheotomy intubation, ventilator-assisted respiration, and limb incision decompression after admission were close (χ(2)=0, 0.016, 0.025, 0.009, P>0.05). After taking the above-mentioned main treatment measures, effects of correcting shock, preventing asphyxia, correcting breathing difficulty, and improving peripheral circulation of limb were achieved. (2) The area of Meek micro-skin grafting of children in successful skin graft group was (20.6±2.5)% total body surface area (TBSA), close to (21.2±2.2)% TBSA in failed skin graft group (t=0.534, P>0.05). The survival rate of Meek micro-skin graft of children in successful skin graft group was (79±5)%, significantly higher than (26±3)% in failed skin graft group (t=2.956, P<0.01). (3) The microbial culture of wound secretion of 5 (16.67%) children in 30 patients in successful skin graft group was positive, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa of 2 children, and Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Aspergillus of one patient respectively. As children in successful skin graft group were with no symptom of systemic infection, no blood microbial culture was done. The microbial culture of wound secretion of 30 (100.00%) children in 30 patients in failed skin graft group was positive, and blood microbial culture of 8 (26.67%) children was positive. The main pathogen was Pseudomonas aeruginosa of 11 (36.67%) children in 8 pathogens caused infection with gram-negative bacteria of 22 (73.33%), gram-positive bacteria of 11 (36.67%) children, and fungi of 6 (20.00%) children. (4) Ten kinds of sensitive antibiotics such as cephalosporins, glycopeptides, carbapenems, and tetracyclines antibiotics were used in children in failed skin graft group, of which the use rate of imipenem of 9 (30.00%) was the highest. Only 4 kinds of sensitive antibiotics such as ceftazidime were used in 30 children in successful skin graft group. (5) The preoperative levels of albumin and prealbumin of children in successful skin graft group were (32±4) g/L and (133±41) mg/L respectively, significantly higher than (27±4) g/L and (93±35) mg/L in failed skin graft group (t=5.090, 4.064, P<0.01). The albumin and prealbumin levels of postoperative surviving children in failed skin graft group after nutritional support treatment were (35±4) g/L and (168±49) mg/L, significantly higher than (27±4) g/L and (94±38) mg/L before nutritional support treatment (t=6.911, 6.315, P<0.01). (6) Wound infection of 9 children in 30 children with wound infection in failed skin graft group happened in the plum rain season, and fungi infection of 3 children in 6 children with fungi infection happened in the plum rain season. Wound infection of 2 children in 5 children with wound infection in successful skin graft group happened in the plum rain season, and the only one children with fungi infection happened in the plum rain season. Conclusions: The main reasons for the failure of Meek micro-skin grafting in children with severe burns include infection, nutrition, and season factors, etc. Measures of strengthening wound dressing change, reasonable use of sensitive antibiotics to control infection, internal and external intestinal nutritional support, and reducing disturbance of the plum rain season by enhancing ventilation are effective and worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have shown beneficial effects in animal models of cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that HDAC inhibitor, sodium valproate (VPA), has cardiac and vascular protective effects in rats with pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Sections of the heart were visualized after hematoxylin and eosin staining, picrosirius red staining and immunohistochemistry. The expression of genes related to cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and oxidative stress was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The aortic ring tension analysis was conducted using both the ascending aorta and descending thoracic aorta. TAC increased the expression of hypertrophic, fibrotic, and oxidative stress genes, which was attenuated by VPA. In the ascending aorta with intact endothelium, there was a significant decrease in the relaxation response, which was recovered by VPA treatment. These results indicate that VPA has cardiac and vascular protective effects in rats with pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the effect of standardized lymphectomy and sampling of resected lymph nodes (LN) on TNM staging of resectable pancreatic head cancer. Methods: Consecutive patients with resectable pancreatic head cancer who received standard pancreatoduodenctomy at Department of General Surgery in Beijing Hospital from December 2017 to November 2018 were recruited as study group. After operation, the surgeon sampled lymph nodes from the fresh specimen following the Japanese Gastric Cancer Guidelines.Thirty-three cases were recruited in the study group and the mean age was (59.8±15.2) years.Pathologic reports from December 2015 to November 2016 were taken as control group, containing 29 cases with age of (57.0±13.0) years. Number of lymph nodes, standard-reaching ratio and positive nodes ratio were compared between two groups. According to the seventh edition and eighth edition of TNM staging, the changes of N staging and TNM staging were analysed. The quantitative data conforming to normal distribution were tested by independent sample t test, the quantitative data not conforming to normal distribution were tested by rank sum test, and the enumeration data were analysed by χ(2) test. Results: The basal data of the two groups were comparable (all P>0.05) . The number of lymph nodes sampled in the study group was 23.27±8.87, significantly more than in control group (12.86±5.90, t=0.653, P=0.000) .Ratio of cases with more than 15 nodes was 81.8% (27/33) in the study group and 34.5% (10/29) in the control group with statistical significance (χ(2)=14.373, P=0.000) . In the study group, the positive lymph node ratios of No. 17a+17b, 14a+14b, 8a+8p LN were 36.4% (12/33) , 30.3% (10/33) and 9.1% (3/33) respectively. The positive lymph node ratio in No.14a+14b LN was higher than in No.8 LN (χ(2)=4.694, P=0.030) . According to the change in N staging system in the AJCC eighth edition, 2 cases (6.1%, 2/33) changed from ⅠB to ⅡA, 7 cases (21.2%, 7/33) from ⅡA to ⅠB and 5 cases (15.2%, 5/33) changed from ⅡB to Ⅲ (25.0%, 5/20) . Conclusions: No.14 LN should be treated as the first station rather than second station because of the anatomic character and higher metastatic ratio. Standardised lymphectomy and sampling may increase the number of LN resected and improve the TNM staging of resectable pancreatic head cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) gene encodes an essential enzyme for the salvage pathway of adenosine synthesis and is frequently lost in different types of cancer including urothelial bladder carcinoma. Therefore, MTAP-deficient tumors are theoretically very sensitive to anti-folate agents such as pemetrexed that can effectively block the de novo pathway of adenosine synthesis and as a result, create a state of synthetic lethality. We thus hypothesize that tumor MTAP gene deficiency is associated with response to pemetrexed therapy in bladder cancer.
Methods: In this study, we investigated MTAP gene deficiency rates in the TCGA database and confirmed MTAP protein loss by immunohistochemistry using a tumor tissue microarray containing bladder tumor tissues from 151 patients. We then performed in vitro and in vivo studies using MTAP-proficient and MTAP-deficient human bladder cancer cell lines. Functional loss of MTAP was verified with mass spectrometry, which detects its substrate methylthioadenosine (MTA) levels. We also correlated these pre-clinical studies with clinical response data on patients with metastatic bladder cancer treated with pemetrexed.
Results: We identified that 27.8% bladder cancer patients have MTAP protein deficiency, which is consistent with exome sequencing data from the TCGA database. In vitro data showed MTAP-deficient human bladder cancer cell lines were significantly more sensitive to pemetrexed, with IC50 at least 40 times lower than MTAP-proficient cell lines. Subsequent knockdown of the MTAP gene in MTAP-proficient cell lines increased sensitivities to pemetrexed treatment. Consistent with the in vitro data, pemetrexed significantly inhibited the growth of MTAP-deficient or knockdown xenograft tumors but not MTAP-proficient tumors. Furthermore, 4 of 4 (100%) patients with MTAP-deficient metastatic bladder cancer responded to pemetrexed treatment, whereas only 1 of 11 (9%) patients with MTAP-proficient metastatic bladder cancer responded to pemetrexed.
Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that MTAP gene loss in urothelial bladder cancer leads to a metabolic state of synthetic lethality with pemetrexed therapy. Therefore, bladder tumor MTAP loss should be further investigated as a potential biomarker for selection of patients for anti-folate therapy.

Abstract
4521 Background: The MTAP gene encodes an essential enzyme for the salvage pathway of nucleotide synthesis and is frequently deleted in UBC. Anti-folate agents such as pemetrexed can effectively inhibit the de novo pathway of nucleotide synthesis and as a result, create a synthetic lethality in MTAP deficient UBC. We hypothesize that MTAP gene loss correlates with enhanced response to pemetrexed in UBC. Methods: We investigated MTAP gene deletion rates in the TCGA database and determined MTAP protein loss rates by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using a UBC tissue microarray (TMA) from 151 patients (pts). We then performed in vitro and in vivo studies using MTAP proficient and MTAP deficient bladder cancer cell lines. At the clinical level, we performed a retrospective analysis based on MTAP status of pts treated with pemetrexed as 2nd line at our institution between 2014 and 2018. We are now enrolling pts in a single-arm, open-label, phase II clinical trial (NCT02693717) with pemetrexed in pts with MTAP deficient UBC. Results: Per our TCGA and TMA IHC analyses, MTAP deficiency rate was 25.9% and 27.8%, respectively. MTAP deficient UBC cell lines were at least 40 times more sensitive to pemetrexed than MTAP proficient lines. Knockdown of the MTAP gene increased apoptosis rate by pemetrexed from approximately 20% to 60%. Additionally, pemetrexed significantly inhibited the growth of MTAP deficient or knockdown xenograft tumors but not MTAP proficient tumors. Retrospective analysis of 12 pts using RECIST criteria indicated that all 4 MTAP deficient UBC pts responded to pemetrexed whereas only 1 of 8 (12.5%) MTAP proficient UBC pts responded. Of the 6 pts enrolled on the clinical trial, 3 (50%) had complete or partial response, 1 had stable disease, 1 was not evaluable and 1 had disease progression. Combined analysis of the entire experience demonstrates a higher response rate in MTAP deficient UBC (70%) as compared to MTAP proficient UBC (12.5%). Conclusions: Our preclinical and clinical data demonstrate that MTAP loss in UBC leads to a state of synthetic lethality when treated with pemetrexed and should be further investigated as a novel biomarker to predict response to anti-folate agents.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the 40-years trend for the mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Shanghai and to estimate the effect of age, period, and birth cohort with Age-Period-Cohort (APC) model. Methods: Data on tumor-releated death from 1975 Janurary 1 to 2014 December 31 was derived from the Yangpu District of Shanghai Center for Diseases Prevention and Control tumor registration system. Colonrectal cancer cases (C18.2-C18.9 and C20 in ICD10) were selected for analyses. Crude mortality, age-adjusted mortality, and Average Annual Percent Changes (AAPCs) were calculated for colon cancer and rectal cancer. The difference of AAPCs between male/female and different age groups were tested. An APC model (reference cohort and period were 1900 and 1975, respectively) was constructed to estimate the age-effect, period-effect, and cohort-effect on the colorectal cancer death. Results: During 1975-2014, 6 725 cases died of colorectal cancer (the cased of colon and rectal cancer were 3 684 and 3 041, respectively). The crude mortality and age-adjusted mortality of colon cancer was 8.83/100 000 and 6.76/100 000, respectively. The crude mortality and age-adjusted mortality of rectal cancer were 7.32/100 000 and 5.67/100 000, respectively. For population in Yangpu District, the crude mortality and age-adjusted mortality of colon cancer increased with time, and the crude mortality of rectal cancer increased with time (P<0.001). AAPC of the crude mortality rate (5.6%) and age-adjusted mortality rate (2.3%) of colon cancer were higher than those in rectal cancer (3.0% and -0.3%), respectively (both P values <0.001). AAPC of the crude mortality rate (males vs. females was 6.2% vs. 5.0%, P<0.05) and age-adjusted mortality rate (males vs. females was 2.7% vs. 1.7%, P<0.05) of colon cancer were higher in males than in females. APC model indicted that CRC-related death increased with age. During 1901 to 1941, the RR values of cohort effects for colon and rectal cancer death were 1.09-5.57 and from 1.04-2.28, respectively; During 1946 to 1991, the RR values of cohort effects for colon cancer and rectal cancer were 5.51-4.32 and 2.16-0.89. Conclusion: From 1975 to 2014, the mortality of CRC in Yangpu District increased gradually, and colon cancer mortality in males increased faster than that in females. The risk of death from colorectal cancer in the 1946-1991 birth cohort declined.

Abstract
After the wound healing of deep burn in children, there will be scar tissue proliferation in varying degrees. Burn scar seriously affects the quality of life and the psychological health during the growth and development of children, so parents of children pay more and more attention to scar treatment and functional rehabilitation after burn. The treatment of scar after burn in children has become an important issue for medical workers in burn, plastic surgery, and rehabilitation. This article analyzes and summarizes the relationship between scar hyperplasia and age, race, and position of scar hyperplasia after burn in children. The treatment and functional rehabilitation methods of scar are also discussed, so as to provide some guidance for the formulation of appropriate individualized treatment plan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report a case of posttransplant contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) that occurred after performing computed tomography (CT) scanning for pretransplant cardiac and vascular evaluation. CASE PRESENTATION The patient had an 8-year history of hemodialysis and was admitted to the hospital for a kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Cardiac CT imaging and 3-dimensional low-extremity CT angiography were performed to confirm the patient's cardiac and iliac artery function. After successful transplantation surgery, the patient had a urine output of 250 mL and a reduced creatinine level from 8.8 to 2.3 mg/dL on postoperative day 4. However, urine output suddenly decreased to 30 mL and the creatinine level suddenly increased to 7.6 md/dL without any symptoms such as fever or graft tenderness. The patient tested negative for panel-reactive antibodies and donor-specific antibodies, and he was discharged 1 week later with an improvement in symptoms. Results of a graft biopsy indicated CIN, and the contrast-enhanced kidney was observed on noncontrast CT imaging that was performed immediately after transplantation to rule out vascular problems as well as other complications. CONCLUSIONS There may be residual contrast present from pretransplant CT imaging, which could affect the functional kidney grafts after transplantation and can lead to CIN. This scenario could potentially lead to loss of graft function, suggesting that caution should be observed when ordering CT imaging in this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bordetella pertussis continues to cause outbreaks worldwide. To assess the role of children and adolescent in transmission of pertussis in Asia, we performed a multinational serosurveillance study. METHODS From July 2013 to June 2016, individuals aged 10 to 18 years who had not received any pertussis-containing vaccine within the prior year were recruited in 10 centres in Asia. Serum anti-pertussis toxin (PT) IgG was measured by ELISA. Demographic data and medical histories were obtained. In the absence of pertussis immunization, anti-PT IgG ≥62.5 IU/mL was interpreted as B. pertussis infection within 12 months prior, among them levels ≥125 IU/mL were further identified as infection within 6 months. RESULTS A total of 1802 individuals were enrolled. Anti-PT IgG geometric mean concentration was 4.5, and 87 (4.8%) individuals had levels ≥62.5 IU/mL; among them, 73 (83.9%) had received three or more doses of pertussis vaccine before age 6 years. Of 30 participants with persistent cough during the past 6 months, one (3.3%) had level ≥125 IU/mL. There was no significant difference in proportions with anti-PT IgG ≥62.5 IU/mL among age groups (13-15 vs. 10-12 years, 16-18 vs. 10-12 years), between types of diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus (DTP; whole cell vs. acellular), number of doses before age 6 years within the DTP whole-cell pertussis vaccine (five vs. four doses) or acellular pertussis vaccine (five vs. four doses) and history of persistent cough during the past 6 months (yes vs. no). CONCLUSIONS There is significant circulation of B. pertussis amongst Asian children and adolescents, with one in 20 having serologic evidence of recent infection regardless of vaccination background.

Abstract
Cell division cycle 6 (CDC6), an androgen receptor (AR) target gene, is implicated in regulating DNA replication and checkpoint mechanisms. CDC6 expression is increased during prostate cancer (PCa) progression and positively correlates with AR in PCa tissues. AR or CDC6 knockdown, together with AZD7762, a Chk1/2 inhibitor, results in decreased TopBP1-ATR-Chk1 signaling and markedly increased ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) phosphorylation, a biomarker of DNA damage, and synergistically increases treatment efficacy. Combination treatment with the AR signaling inhibitor enzalutamide (ENZ) and the Chk1/2 inhibitor AZD7762 demonstrates synergy with regard to inhibition of AR-CDC6-ATR-Chk1 signaling, ATM phosphorylation induction, and apoptosis in VCaP (mutant p53) and LNCaP-C4-2b (wild-type p53) cells. CDC6 overexpression significantly reduced ENZ- and AZD7762-induced apoptosis. Additive or synergistic therapeutic activities are demonstrated in AR-positive animal xenograft models. These findings have important clinical implications, since they introduce a therapeutic strategy for AR-positive, metastatic, castration-resistant PCa, regardless of p53 status, through targeting AR-CDC6-ATR-Chk1 signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Bone metastasis is common in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and the lesions are mainly osteolytic. The mechanism of bone destruction in RCC bone metastasis is unknown. METHODS: We used a direct intrafemur injection of mice with bone-derived 786-O RCC cells (Bo-786) as an in vivo model to study if inhibition of osteoblast differentiation is involved in osteolytic bone lesions in RCC bone metastasis. RESULTS: We showed that bone-derived Bo-786 cells induced osteolytic bone lesions in the femur of mice. We examined the effect of conditioned medium of Bo-786 cells (Bo-786 CM) on both primary mouse osteoblasts and MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts and found that Bo-786 CM inhibited osteoblast differentiation. Secretome analysis of Bo-786 CM revealed that BIGH3 (Beta ig h3 protein), also known as TGFBI (transforming growth factor beta-induced protein), is highly expressed. We generated recombinant BIGH3 and found that BIGH3 inhibited osteoblast differentiation in vitro. In addition, CM from Bo-786 BIGH3 knockdown cells (786-BIGH3 KD) reduced the inhibition of osteoblast differentiation compared to CM from vector control. Intrafemural injection of mice with 786-BIGH3 KD cells showed a reduction in osteolytic bone lesions compared to vector control. Immunohistochemical staining of 18 bone metastasis specimens from human RCC showed strong BIGH3 expression in 11/18 (61%) and moderate BIGH3 expression in 7/18 (39%) of the specimens. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that suppression of osteoblast differentiation by BIGH3 is one of the mechanisms that enhance osteolytic lesions in RCC bone metastasis, and raise the possibilty that treatments that increase bone formation may improve therapy outcomes.

Abstract
Background In the perioperative period, it may be inappropriate to monitor vital signs during endotracheal intubation using the same interval as during a hemodynamically stable period. The aim of the present study was to determine whether it is appropriate to use the same intervals used during the endotracheal intubation and stable periods to monitor vital signs of patients under general anesthesia. Methods The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were continuously measured during endotracheal intubation (15 min after intubation) and hemodynamically stable (15 min before skin incision) periods in 24 general anesthesia patients. Data was considered “unrecognized” when continuously measured values were 30% more or less than the monitored value measured at 5- or 2.5-min intervals. The incidence of unrecognized data during endotracheal intubation was compared to that during the hemodynamically stable period. Result There were significantly more unrecognized MAP data measured at 5-min intervals during endotracheal intubation than during the hemodynamically stable period (p value <0.05). However, there was no difference in the incidence of unrecognized MAP data at 2.5 min intervals or HR data at 5 or 2.5 min intervals between during the endotracheal intubation and hemodynamically stable periods. Conclusion A 5-min interval throughout the operation period was not appropriate for monitoring vital signs. Therefore, , a 2.5-min interval is recommended for monitoring the MAP during endotracheal intubation.

Abstract
Cancers with loss-of-function mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 are deficient in the DNA damage repair pathway called homologous recombination (HR), rendering these cancers exquisitely vulnerable to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. This functional state and therapeutic sensitivity is referred to as "BRCAness" and is most commonly associated with some breast cancer types. Pharmaceutical induction of BRCAness could expand the use of PARP inhibitors to other tumor types. For example, BRCA mutations are present in only ~20% of prostate cancer patients. We found that castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells showed increased expression of a set of HR-associated genes, including BRCA1, RAD54L, and RMI2 Although androgen-targeted therapy is typically not effective in CRPC patients, the androgen receptor inhibitor enzalutamide suppressed the expression of those HR genes in CRPC cells, thus creating HR deficiency and BRCAness. A "lead-in" treatment strategy, in which enzalutamide was followed by the PARP inhibitor olaparib, promoted DNA damage-induced cell death and inhibited clonal proliferation of prostate cancer cells in culture and suppressed the growth of prostate cancer xenografts in mice. Thus, antiandrogen and PARP inhibitor combination therapy may be effective for CRPC patients and suggests that pharmaceutically inducing BRCAness may expand the clinical use of PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of percutaneous AngioJet thrombectomy in treatment of acute symptomatic portal and superior mesenteric venous thrombosis venous thrombosis (PVMVT) . Method: From January 2014 to January 2016, a total of 8 patients in Nanjing First Hospital with PVMVT verified by color Doppler ultrasound and computed tomographic angiography (CTA) were analyzed retrospectively. Under ultrasound guidance , the branch of the right portal vein(PV) was punctured with a micropuncture set and a 4-F infusion catheter was advanced to the superior mesenteric vein(SMV). The venogram demonstrated the thrombosis in the PV/SMV and a 6-F AngioJet Xpeeedior catheter was advanced over the guidewire and positioned in the distal SMV. Percutaneous thrombectomy was performed after a mixture of 250 000 U of urokinase in 100 ml of normal saline for mechanical pulse spray of thrombus in all patients for approximately 15 minutes. 2 patients underwent PTA and stent implantation after the thrombectomy procedure, 1 of them and the others 6 patients received continuous transcatheter infusion of urokinase (500 000 U/d) for 24 or 48 hours until the thrombosis was completely dissolved confirmed by angiography at 24 and 48 hours.After procedure and the thrombolytic therapy was discontinued, removal of the infusion catheter and the sheath from the liver, the transhepatic tract was embolized with coils or gelfoam to reduce the risk of bleeding. The patency rate of PV /SMV was assessed by CTA at 1 and 6 months after the procedure. Patients were discharged with oral anticoagulation regimen for at least 6 months.The following criteria were used in evaluation of thrombolysis: grade Ⅰ<50% thrombus removal; grade Ⅱ 50%~90% thrombus removal, and grade Ⅲ>90% thrombus removal. Results: All 8 patients with PVMVT were treated by AngioJet thrombectomy. Angiography after the thrombectomy procedure showed complete thrombus removal (>90%) was in 3 cases, substantial thrombus removal (50%~90%) in 5 cases. Grade Ⅲ (complete) thrombolysis was achieved in 7 cases and grade Ⅱ (50%~90%) lysis in 1 case post thrombolytic therapy for 24 or 48 hours. 2 patients had underwent PTA and stent implantation. Large volume intraperitoneal hemorrhage was discovered in 1 patient after removal of the catheter and sheath from the liver. The patient restored stability after a blood transfusion.Venous patency was comfirmed in all 8 patients at 1 or 6 months after the treatment. There was no patient with major complications death related to the procedure. Conclusion: Percutaneous AngioJet thrombectomy with adjunctive thrombolytic therapy is an effective and safe treatment modality in patients with acute symptomatic PVMVT.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB) has become standard procedure for primary breast cancer patients who have no tumor metastasis in sentinel lymph node(SLN). In this study, we evaluated feasibility and pathologic outcomes of second SLNB in patients with locally recurrent breast cancer and their follow-up results.
Methods: From January 2008 to December 2015, 114 patients underwent operation for locally recurrent breast cancer. In 42 patients of them, lymphatic mapping was performed for second SLNB. When SLN was visualized in lymphangiography, SLNB was performed. In the cases where SLN metastasis was confirmed, axillary lymph node dissection(ALND) was performed. Follow-up studies were performed every 6 months for 5 years and then annually.
Results: The mean interval to local recurrence from the initial surgery of breast cancer was 64.6±53.1 months. In 38 of 42 patients(90.5%), lymphatic mapping was successfully performed. There was no significant difference of success rate of lymphatic mapping according to previous operation method of breast and axilla or history of radiation therapy.
Aberrant lymphatic pathway was observed in 15 of 38 patients(39.5%). The rate of aberrant lymphatic pathway was higher in patients who underwent ALND previously then in patients who underwent SLNB only(81.8% vs 22.2%, p=0.001). In 6 patients who previously underwent ALND followed by radiation therapy, all their lymphatic pathway was altered. There was no significant difference of the rate of aberrant lymphatic pathway according to previous operation method of breast.
Of 38 patients in whom lymphatic mapping was successfully performed, 37 patients underwent SLNB. SLNs were identified in 31 patients(83.8%). There was no significant difference of success rate of SLNB according to previous operation method of breast and axilla or history of radiation therapy.
Of 31 patients whose SLNs were identified, 4 patients(12.9%) had tumor metastasis in their SLN. Among them, 3 patients underwent ALND but SLN was the only lymph node(LN) in which tumor metastasis was confirmed. The other patient underwent no further ALND because ipsilateral internal mammary LNs were only LNs in which tumor metastasis was confirmed in frozen section biopsy and micrometastasis was additionally confirmed in only one contralateral axillary LN in permanent biopsy.
The mean follow-up period after operation for local recurrence was 33.0±24.5 months. There were 10 cases(23.8%) of loco-regional recurrence or distant metastasis at 14 months of mean follow-up. Among them, one patient had ipsilateral axillary recurrence solitary at 11 months of follow-up. The patient underwent breast conserving surgery and SLNB for primary breast cancer which stage was I. Second SLNB for local recurrence was tried at 48 months after first operation but SLN was not identified. Because there was no evidence of axillary LN metastasis in preoperative image study, no further ALND was performed.
Conclusion: Second SLNB should be considered for patients with locally recurrent breast cancer because occult LN metastasis could be identified in the ipsilateral axilla or other site through aberrant lymphatic pathway. Further studies are needed to verify accuracy of axillary staging using second SLNB and also its oncologic safety.

Abstract
Abstract
Background : The goal of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is to reduce tumor size and convert mastectomy to breast-conservation surgery (BCS). In response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the regression rate and pattern of breast cancer is variable. And the re-excision rate to secure negative resection margin is reported limitedly in this case. The purpose of this study was to compare the re-excision rate and BCS success rate of patients who received and who did not received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Method : In this retrospective cohort study, between January 2009 and December 2012, total 256 women were included who had clinical T2 breast cancer and were planed to receive BCS as initial operation or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Fifty-nine patients of them received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Clinical data were collected including age, preoperative or initial clinical tumor size, mammographic microcalcifications, ultrasound multifocality and axillary nodal status, retrospectively. In the resected specimen from BCS, we reviewed the pathologic tumor size, multifocality, histologic type, hormone receptor and Her-2-neu status, ki67, DCIS and EIC component. The re-excision rate and BCS success rate were investigated. Univariate analysis and regression model were used for identify clinicopathologic factors associated with re-excision. To reduce the effect of selection bias, propensity score matching-based anaylsis was also performed.
Results : Of the 256 patients, 178 patients (90.4%, 178/197) received BCS finally in neoadjuvant group and 56 patients (94.9%, 56/59) in non-neoadjuvant group (p=0.406). There was no statistical difference in the re-excision rate between two groups (35.6% (21/59) in neoadjuvant group vs 34.0% (67/197) in non-neoadjuvant group, p=0.946). In propensity-matched cohorts (N=118), the re-excision rate was same in two groups (35.6% (21/59) in neoadjuvant group vs 35.6% (21/59) in non-neoadjuvant group, p=1.000). BCS success rate was higher in neoadjuvant group(94.9% 56/59) than non-neoadjuvant group (86.4%(51/59)), but there was no statistical difference (p=0.205). In this cohorts, clinicopathologic factors associated with re-excision were pathologic multifocality (OR=4.56, p=0.0142), high ki67 (≥50%) (OR=0.7, p=0.0243) and DCIS component (OR=2.67, p=0.0261) in logistic regression model.
Conclusion: This study showed neoadjuvant chemotherapy could increase the BCS success rate but could not decrease the re-excision rate. The re-excision rate is more associated with pathologic finding rather than effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
AIMS The treatment of septic arthritis of the shoulder is challenging. The infection frequently recurs and the clinical outcome can be very poor. We aimed to review the outcomes following the use of continuous negative pressure after open debridement with a large diameter drain in patients with septic arthritis of the shoulder. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 68 consecutive patients with septic arthritis of the shoulder underwent arthrotomy, irrigation and debridement. A small diameter suction drain was placed in the glenohumeral joint and a large diameter drain was placed in the subacromial space with continuous negative pressure of 15 cm H2O. All patients received a standardised protocol of antibiotics for a mean of 5.1 weeks (two to 11.1). RESULTS Negative pressure was maintained for a mean of 24 days (14 to 32). A total of 67 patients (98.5%) were cured without further treatment being required. At a mean follow-up of 14 months (three to 72), the mean forward flexion was 123° (80° to 140°) and the mean external rotation was 28°(10° to 40°) in those with a rotator cuff tear, and 125° (85° to 145°) and 35° (15° to 45°) in those without a rotator cuff tear. CONCLUSION Continuous negative pressure, following open arthrotomy, irrigation and debridement, was effective in treating septic arthritis of the shoulder. The rate of recurrence was significantly lower than with conventional treatment involving arthroscopic or open debridement reported in the literature. Functional outcomes, even in patients with rotator cuff tears, were excellent. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Continuous negative pressure is effective in treating septic arthritis of the shoulder.

Abstract
While several new therapies are FDA-approved for bone-metastatic prostate cancer (PCa), patient survival has only improved marginally. Here, we report that chitosan nanoparticle-mediated delivery of miR-34a, a tumor suppressive microRNA that downregulates multiple gene products involved in PCa progression and metastasis, inhibited prostate tumor growth and preserved bone integrity in a xenograft model representative of established PCa bone metastasis. Expression of miR-34a induced apoptosis in PCa cells, and, in accord with downregulation of targets associated with PCa growth, including MET and Axl and c-Myc, also induced a form of non-canonical autophagy that is independent of Beclin-1, ATG4, ATG5 and ATG7. MiR-34a-induced autophagy is anti-proliferative in prostate cancer cells, as blocking apoptosis still resulted in growth inhibition of tumor cells. Thus, combined effects of autophagy and apoptosis are responsible for miR-34a-mediated prostate tumor growth inhibition, and have translational impact, as this non-canonical form of autophagy is tumor inhibitory. Together, these results provide a new understanding of the biological effects of miR-34a and highlight the clinical potential for miR-34a delivery as a treatment for bone metastatic prostate cancer.
