Abstract
This study investigates the influence of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists on the mismatch negativity (MMN) components of event-related potentials (ERPs) in healthy subjects and explores whether NMDAR antagonists have different effects on MMN components under different types of antagonists, drug dosages, and deviant stimuli. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from inception to August 1, 2023 for studies comparing the MMN components between the NMDAR antagonist intervention group and the control group (or baseline). All statistical analyses were performed using Stata version 12.0 software. Sixteen articles were included in the systematic review: 13 articles were included in the meta-analysis of MMN amplitudes, and seven articles were included in the meta-analysis of MMN latencies. The pooled analysis showed that NMDAR antagonists reduced MMN amplitudes [SMD (95% CI) = 0.32 (0.16, 0.47), P < 0.01, I2 = 47.3%, p < 0.01] and prolonged MMN latencies [SMD (95% CI) = 0.31 (0.13, 0.49), P = 0.16, I2 = 28.3%, p < 0.01]. The type of antagonist drug regulates the effect of NMDAR antagonists on MMN amplitudes. Different antagonists, doses of antagonists, and types of deviant stimuli can also have different effects on MMN. These findings indicate a correlation between NMDAR and MMN, which may provide a foundation for the application of ERP-MMN in the early identification of NMDAR encephalitis.

Abstract
AIMS Despite a largely successful 'zero COVID' policy in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine cancer services in the city of Hong Kong. The aims of this study were to examine the trends in cancer incidence before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and estimate missed cancer diagnoses. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used population-based data from the Hong Kong Cancer Registry 1983-2020 to examine the trends of age- and sex-standardised cancer incidence before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We applied: (i) the annual average percentage change (AAPC) calculated using the Joinpoint regression model and (ii) the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model to forecast cancer incidence rates in 2020. Missed cancer diagnoses in 2020 were estimated by comparing forecasted incidence rates to reported rates. A subgroup analysis was conducted by sex, age and cancer site. RESULTS The cancer incidence in Hong Kong declined by 4.4% from 2019 to 2020 (male 8.1%; female 1.1%) compared with the long-term AAPC of 0.5% from 2005 to 2019 (95% confidence interval 0.3, 0.7). The gap between the reported and forecasted incidence for 2020 ranged from 5.1 to 5.7% (male 8.5%, 9.8%; female 2.3%, 3.5%). We estimated 1525-1596 missed cancer diagnoses (ARIMA estimate -98, 3148; AAPC 514, 1729) in 2020. Most missed diagnoses were in males (ARIMA 1361 [327, 2394]; AAPC 1401 [1353, 1460]), with an estimated 479-557 missed cases of colorectal cancer (ARIMA 112, 837; AAPC 518, 597) and 256-352 missed cases of prostate cancer (AAPC 231, 280; ARIMA 110, 594). CONCLUSION The incidence of new cancer diagnoses declined in 2020 contrary to the long-term increase over the previous decades. Significantly lower diagnoses than expected were observed in males, particularly for colorectal and prostate cancers. Fewer reported cancer cases indicate missed diagnoses and could lead to delayed treatment that could impact future health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND NARS2 as a member of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases was necessary to covalently join a specific tRNA to its cognate amino acid. Biallelic variants in NARS2 were reported with disorders such as Leigh syndrome, deafness, epilepsy, and severe myopathy. CASE PRESENTATION Detailed clinical phenotypes were collected and the NARS2 variants were discovered by whole exome sequencing and verified by Sanger sequencing. Additionally, 3D protein structure visualization was performed by UCSF Chimera. The proband in our study had early-onset status epilepticus with abnormal EEG and MRI results. She also performed global developmental delay (GDD) and myocardial dysfunction. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing revealed compound heterozygous missense variants [NM_024678.6:exon14: c.1352G > A(p.Arg451His); c.707T > C(p.Phe236Ser)] of the NARS2 gene. The proband develops refractory epilepsy with GDD and hyperlactatemia. Unfortunately, she finally died for status seizures two months later. CONCLUSION We discovered two novel missense variants of NARS2 in a patient with early-onset status epilepticus and myocardial dysfunction. The NGS enables the patient to be clearly diagnosed as combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 24 (COXPD24, OMIM:616,239), and our findings expands the spectrum of gene variants in COXPD24.

Abstract
Primary liver cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, its early diagnosis and early treatment are of great clinical importance. The main detection tools for liver cancer include serological indicators, imaging tests and risk assessment models. With the advancement of technology and research, the sensitivity and specificity of laboratory tests for liver cancer have been substantially improved, but there are still false negatives and low rates of early diagnosis. For different causes and prevalence regions, each country has developed its clinical practice guidelines to guide risk groups for effective prevention, early diagnosis and standardized treatment. It is important to establish a liver cancer diagnosis strategy that is suitable for China's national conditions, concerning the guidelines for the vigilance and prevention of liver cancer. In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of liver cancer-related tests and the impact of future development trends on laboratory strategies are explained from the perspective of laboratory testing strategies, to provide theoretical support for the practical application of liver cancer diagnostic strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to predict the mechanism of Osteoking in preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limb by network pharmacology and molecular docking. MATERIALS AND METHODS The relevant active components and targets of Osteoking were collected through the TCMSP database, and the relevant disease targets of DVT were collected through the GeneCards, OMIM, and DisGeNET databases. The intersecting gene targets of Osteoking and DVT were obtained using Venny 2.1.0 software. PPI network construction and core target selection using Cytoscape 3.9.0 software. The Metascape database was used for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of relevant targets. Finally, the molecular docking of the main active components and key targets was carried out. RESULTS There are 361 potential targets and 71 core targets of Osteoking in preventing deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb. Signal pathways are involved in various diseases such as cancer, diabetic complications, atherosclerosis, and more. Some of the most common pathways include AGE-RAGE signaling pathway and Calcium signaling pathway. Molecular docking results showed that the main active components of Osteoking had relatively stable binding activities with the key targets. CONCLUSIONS Osteoking can play a role through multiple targets and multiple signal pathways to prevent the formation of deep venous thrombosis of the lower limb after fracture.

Abstract
We present the precision measurements of 11 years of daily cosmic positron fluxes in the rigidity range from 1.00 to 41.9 GV based on 3.4×10^{6} positrons collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station. The positron fluxes show distinctly different time variations from the electron fluxes at short and long timescales. A hysteresis between the electron fluxes and the positron fluxes is observed with a significance greater than 5σ at rigidities below 8.5 GV. On the contrary, the positron fluxes and the proton fluxes show similar time variation. Remarkably, we found that positron fluxes are modulated more than proton fluxes with a significance greater than 5σ for rigidities below 7 GV. These continuous daily positron fluxes, together with AMS daily electron, proton, and helium fluxes over an 11-year solar cycle, provide unique input to the understanding of both the charge-sign and mass dependencies of cosmic rays in the heliosphere.

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
AIMS As PD-L1 expression has been proposed as one of the cancer biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the predictive value of tumour proportional score (TPS) in the effect of immunotherapy [programmed death protein-1/ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) inhibitors] for NSCLC is worth exploring further. Here, we aimed to summarise the outcomes of current NSCLC randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and explore the predictive value of TPS in clinical immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with or without chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS RCTs published by PubMed, Medline, Embase and Scopus before February 2023 comparing immunotherapy (PD-1/L1 with or without other therapy) versus a control group in advanced or metastatic NSCLC were included to assess the prognosis according to the patients' TPS with 1% and 50% as the thresholds. The primary endpoints were overall survival and progression-free survival. RESULTS In total, 28 RCTs containing 17 266 participants with advanced or metastatic NSCLC were included in this meta-analysis. Statistical results showed that compared with TPS <1%, ≥1% or within 1-49%, patients with TPS ≥50% benefited more significantly from the immunotherapy. A subgroup analysis showed that when TPS was <1%, ≥1% or within 1-49%, ICIs + chemotherapy had better efficacy than ICIs alone; PD-1 (such as pembrolizumab) inhibitors had better efficacy than PD-L1 inhibitors (such as atezolizumab). CONCLUSION The efficacy of immunotherapy (PD-1/L1 inhibitors) for advanced or metastatic NSCLC is influenced by TPS.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy was rarely reported in the management of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We retrospectively assessed the role and modality of this combination in Stage III-IV unresectable SCLC. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with stage III and IV SCLC were enrolled according to AJCC 8th edition. Both efficacy and safety of immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy were evaluated. Thereinto, patients received first-line chemo-immunotherapy and sequential thoracic consolidation radiotherapy (TCRT) were further evaluated. Survival and descriptive analyses were performed. RESULTS Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2021, 51 patients were included in our analysis. Median follow-up was 28.0 months (95% CI 22.8-33.2). Patients received radiotherapy in treatment course had a prolonged 2-year overall survival (OS). And in the first-line immunotherapy cohort of 27 patients, the addition of TCRT significantly improved 2y-OS (72.22% vs. 13.89%, p = 0.0048), 2y-locoregional recurrence free survival (LRRFS) (90.00% vs 48.00%, p = 0.011), and 2y-distance progression free survival (DPFS) (66.67% vs. 16.67%, p = 0.039). Subgroup analyses showed that TCRT rendered superior outcomes regardless of brain metastases. Dose-escalation (45 Gy/15f) and earlier radiotherapy seemed to improve the benefit. Of 70.37% (19/27) patients experienced disease progression in the TCRT evaluation cohort, 63.16% (12/19) patients failed in brain. A tendency toward better OS and superior brain metastases free survival (BMFS) were observed after receiving prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI). Finally, the most common grade 2 or higher toxic effects were pneumonitis in all patients (11.76% of immune-related vs. 7.84% of radiation related). CONCLUSION Earlier addition of TCRT to immunotherapy could significantly improve survival and extracranial control for stage IIIA-IVB unresectable SCLC patients, with no increased risk of adverse events. In the era of immunotherapy, PCI may still be a recommended strategy. Further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Proton beam therapy (PBT) has been demonstrated to deliver equivalent dosimetric radiation with the benefit of improved sparing of organs at risk (OAR). Deep inspiration breath holding (DIBH) is a commonly used method for reducing the radiation dose to the heart and lungs. However, few studies have ever reported the usage of DIBH combined with proton beam therapy in cardiac tumors. The purpose of this case report is to compare the dosimetric differences between photon radiotherapy and proton radiation therapy (PBT) with or without deep inspiration breath holding. MATERIALS/METHODS A 66-year-old female patient with cardiac tumors was recruited, and the prescribed dose of radiotherapy for cardiac tumors was 95%PGTV 50Gy/2.5Gy/20f. Two simulation CT scans were collected during free breath (FB) and DIBH. And the target area was delineated on deep inspiratory breath holding image (DIBH-CT) and free breathing image (FB-CT). The target area of FB-CT was modified by referring to the ten-time phases of 4D-CT. Finally, IMRT, VMAT and PBT plans (DIBH-IMRT, DIBH-VAMT, DIBH-PBT, FB-IMRT, FB-VAMT, FB-PBT) were generated on the above images, and the organs at risk were limited as follows: lungs V20 ≤20%, lungs mean ≤11 Gy, heart V30 ≤40%, coronary artery mean ≤26 Gy, spinal cord ≤30 Gy, and left breast mean ≤5 Gy. RESULTS All of the six plans satisfied most of the treatment planning goals. DIBH resulted in a dose reduction in all organs at risk including the heart, lungs, coronary artery (CA), spinal cord and breasts, when compared with FB using IMRT, VMAT, or PBT. Compared with the FB, DIBH provided a significant reduction in the mean dose of coronary artery (CA mean for DIBH-IMRT vs FB-IMRT = 28.32 Gy vs 42.66 Gy, CA mean for DIBH-VMAT vs FB-VAMT = 26.44Gy vs 40.85Gy, CA mean for DIBH-PBT vs FB-PBT = 27.71Gy vs 39.51Gy). Similarly, when compared with IMRT or VMAT in either FB or DIBH, PBT reduced radiation doses for all of the OAR. In comparison, the difference was less significant between IMRT and VMAT technique. Pitmen compared with IMRT and VMAT, reduced significantly the max dose of spinal cord, lungs V5, breast-L/R mean. Totally, DIBH-PBT was observed sufficient dose coverage and better sparing of organs at risk. CONCLUSION PBT combined with DIBH technique gained an advantage in the sparing of OAR for cardiac tumors, especially in coronary protection. The possibility of broader application of PBT with DIBH in clinical practice is currently being evaluated and further studies are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Data on the morality cause for long-time survival of thymoma is limited. The previous study hinted that thymoma may be a chronic disease rather than a curable cancer. we performed a large-scale retrospective analysis to assess long-term cause of death in patients with thymoma. MATERIALS/METHODS This study reviewed thymoma patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between January1975 and December 2016.Conditional survival and annual hazard rates was calculated with Kaplan-Meier, and cause-specific mortality was performed using Fine-Gray competing risks analysis. RESULTS Of 3105 patients were identified (median [range] age,58 (18-93), years), 1615 (52.0%) were male,1028(33.1%) were 65 years or older and 1360(43.8%)patients was at locally advanced (IIB-III) disease. The 10-year overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates were 55.5% (95% CI, 53.4-57.6%) and 74.4% (95% CI, 72.4-76.3%) respectively. Smoothed hazard showed that the annual overall death hazard of death increased steadily, but the hazard of thymoma-related death began to decline at about 4 years and is exceeded by other causes at death. However, the annual risk of death by thymoma remain about 1-2% at 5-25 years. Similarly, the conditional OS increased slowly with increased survival time however the cancer-specific survival based decreased slowly. The cumulative incidence of the most common causes of death was 23.1% for thymoma, 5.4% for heart of disease, and 3.9% for the second cancer in 10 years, 28.5%,8.3 and 7.0% in 15 years, and 31.8%,11.8% and 10.8% in 25 years. After 5 years of survival, the death of heart was the main cause of non-thymoma death. The 10-years survivors' older patients (≥65 years) or with radiotherapy suffered more heart specific death (adjust P< 0.001, P = 0.015, respectively). CONCLUSION The risk of cancer-specific death and other causes of death shift over time for patients with thymoma. The non-cancer cause, especially heart diseases which may be the vital competing cause of death, increased with prolongation of survival time.

Abstract
The ^{22}Mg(α,p)^{25}Al reaction rate has been identified as a major source of uncertainty for understanding the nucleosynthesis flow in Type-I x-ray bursts. We report a direct measurement of the energy- and angle-integrated cross sections of this reaction in a 3.3-6.9 MeV center-of-mass energy range using the MUlti-Sampling Ionization Chamber (MUSIC). The new ^{22}Mg(α,p)^{25}Al reaction rate is a factor of ∼4 higher than the previous direct measurement of this reaction within temperatures relevant for x-ray bursts, resulting in the ^{22}Mg waiting point of x-ray burst nucleosynthesis flow to be significantly bypassed via the (α,p) reaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore relevant factors for the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCSs) in adult epileptic patients and investigate whether the severity of OCSs is a mediator in the relationship between depressive/anxiety symptoms and suicide risk in epileptic patients. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study from a hospital in Northeast China. Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDIE), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), and Nurses' Global Assessment of Suicide Risk (NGASR) were used to assess the severity of OCSs, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and suicide risk in epileptic patients, respectively. The independent factors of the severity of OCSs and their mediating effects in the relationship between depressive/anxiety symptoms and suicide risk were evaluated by regression analyses and mediator models, respectively. RESULTS NDDIE scores (β = 0.404, p < 0.001), GAD-7 scores (β = 0.247, p = 0.009), and polytherapy (β = 0.119, p = 0.032) were the independent factors of Y-BOCS scores. The Y-BOCS scores partially mediated the relationship between GAD-7 scores and NGASR scores (standardized coefficients of indirect effect = 0.109, Bootstrap 95% CI = 0.024 to 0.214). Still, they did not mediate the relationship between NDDIE scores and NGASR scores (standardized coefficients of indirect effect = 0.062, Bootstrap 95% CI = -0.024 to 0.169). CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and polytherapy are independently associated with the severity of OCSs in epileptic patients. Depressive and anxiety symptoms mediate the effect of the severity of OCSs on suicide risk in epileptic patients completely.

Abstract
Background No interventional study has been conducted in China to assess efficacy and safety of perampanel in treating Chinese patients with epilepsy, nor has there been any study on perampanel early add-on therapy in China. This interventional study aimed to assess efficacy and safety of perampanel as an early add-on treatment of focal-onset seizures (FOS) with or without focal-to-bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (FBTCS) in Chinese patients. Methods In this multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase 4 interventional study, Chinese patients ≥ 12 years old with FOS with or without FBTCS who failed anti-seizure medication (ASM) monotherapy from 15 hospitals in China were enrolled and treated with perampanel add-on therapy (8-week titration followed by 24-week maintenance). The primary endpoint was 50% responder rate. Secondary endpoints included seizure-freedom rate and changes in seizure frequency from baseline. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and drug-related TEAEs were recorded. Results The full analysis set included 150 patients. The mean maintenance perampanel dose was 5.9 ± 1.5 mg/day and the 8-month retention rate was 72%. The 50% responder rate and seizure-freedom rate for all patients during maintenance were 67.9 and 30.5%, respectively. Patients with FBTCS had higher 50% responder rate (96.0%) and seizure-freedom rate (76.0%) during maintenance. Patients on concomitant sodium valproate had a significantly higher seizure-freedom rate than those on concomitant oxcarbazepine. Eight-six (55.1%) patients experienced treatment-related TEAEs, and the most common TEAEs were dizziness (36.5%), hypersomnia (11.5%), headache (3.9%), somnolence (3.2%), and irritability (3.2%). Withdrawal due to TEAEs occurred to 14.7% of the patients. Conclusion Perampanel early add-on was effective and safe in treating Chinese patients≥12 years old with FOS with or without FBTCS.Clinical trial registrationwww.chictr.org.cn, Identifier ChiCTR2000039510.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application value of shear wave dispersion (SWD) and shear wave elastography (SWE) combined with serological indicators in the evaluation of liver fibrosis. Methods: A total of 219 patients with liver disorders who underwent liver biopsy were prospectively collected in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2021 to September 2022, including 130 males and 89 females, aged from 18 to 76 (42±12) years. All patients underwent SWD and SWE examinations before liver biopsy. Serological indicators including alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alkaline phosphatase(ALP)) and γ-glutamyl transpeptadase (GGT) were also collected. Based on pathological diagnosis of liver fibrosis stage (from S0 to S4), the distribution of dispersion slope and liver elastic modulus at different fibrosis stages were analyzed in all patients. All patients were divided 7: 3 into training set (156 cases) and validation set (63 cases) in chronological order. In training set, factors influencing liver fibrosis≥S2 stage and S4 stage were analysed using binary logistic regression. The predictive models were established for diagnosing liver fibrosis≥S2 stage and S4 stage by using R language, and the models were evaluated by the area under curve (AUC) and calibrated for validation. Results: The dispersion slope and elastic modulus increased with the severity of fibrosis, with statistically significant differences in different fibrosis stages (both P<0.001). In training set, dispersion slope, elastic modulus, ALT, AST, and GGT were influential factors in liver fibrosis≥S2 stage and S4 stage(both P<0.05), and prediction models were constructed based on these indicators. In training set, the AUCs of the predictive model, SWD and SWE for diagnosingliver fibrosis≥S2 stage were 0.743 (95%CI: 0.665-0.821), 0.709 (95%CI: 0.628-0.790) and 0.725 (95%CI: 0.647-0.804), respectively; for diagnosing liver fibrosis S4 stage, the AUCs were 0.988 (95%CI: 0.968-1.000), 0.908 (95%CI: 0.852-0.963) and 0.974 (95%CI: 0.945-1.000), respectively. In validation set, the AUC of the predictive model, SWD and SWE for diagnosing liver fibrosis≥S2 stage were 08.735 (95%CI: 0.612-0.859), 0.658 (95%CI:0.522-0.793) and 0.699 (95%CI:0.570-0.828), respectively; for diagnosing liver fibrosis S4 stage, the AUC were 0.976 (95%CI: 0.937-1.000), 0.872 (95%CI: 0.757-0.988) and 0.948 (95%CI: 0.889-1.000), respectively. The calibration curves of the prediction models were consistent in the training and validation sets. Conclusion: The predictive model of SWD and SWE combined with serological indicators is helpful in the diagnosis of stage of liver fibrosis non-invasively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathogenic variation of the MECP2 gene presents mostly as Rett syndrome in females and is extremely rare in males. Most male patients with MECP2 gene mutation show MECP2 duplication syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report a rare case in a 10-month-old boy with a hemizygous insertion mutation in MECP2 as NM_001110792, c.799_c.800insAGGAAGC, which results in a frameshift mutation (p.R267fs*6). The patient presented with severe encephalopathy in the neonatal period, accompanied by severe development backwardness, hypotonia, and ocular and oropharyngeal dyskinesia. This is the first report of this mutation, which highlights the phenotype variability associated with MECP2 variants. CONCLUSIONS This case helps to expand the clinical spectrum associated with MECP2 variants. Close attention should be paid to the growth and development of patients carrying a MECP2 variant or Xq28 duplication. Early interventions may help improve symptoms to some certain extent.

Abstract
The ketogenic diet (KD) has shown excellent performance in the treatment of refractory epilepsy, but how it works is not yet fully understood. Gut microbiota is associated with various neurological disorders through the brain-gut axis. Different dietary patterns have different effects on the composition and function of gut microbiota. Here, by analyzing fecal samples from some patients with mitochondrial epilepsy before and after KD treatment through 16SrRNA sequencing, we found that KD intervention reduced the abundance of Firmicutes in the patient's gut, while the abundance of Bacteroidota increased in the KD group. LefSe analysis showed that Actinobacteriota, Phascolarctobacterium had significant advantages in the control group, while Bacteroides increased significantly after KD intervention, especially Bacteroides fragilis. Functional analysis showed that there were significant differences in 12 pathways in level 3. These changes suggest that KD can change the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota in patients and affect their function. Changes in specific bacterial groups in the gut may serve as biomarkers for the therapeutic effects of KD on epilepsy.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of regulatory molecule with potential roles in the development of several different malignancies. However, the underlying mechanisms of lncRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) are incompletely understood. The present study investigated the molecular mechanism of LINC02038 in CRC. LINC02038 expression was decreased in CRC tissues compared to the para‑cancerous tissues and LINC02038 overexpression markedly reduced the proliferation, vitality, migration and invasive ability and greatly accelerated apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. Bioinformatics examination indicated that LINC02038 may have targeted microRNA (miR)‑552‑5p. RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays showed that LINC02038 served as a sponge for miR‑552‑5p, hindering target gene FAM172A of miR‑552‑5p degradation. Moreover, methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP)‑qualitative PCR assays revealed that YTHDF2 could identify and regulate the METTL3‑mediated LINC02038 N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) modification and increase its degradation, thereby promoting CRC progression via the PI3K/AKT pathway. Based on the CRC clinical specimens, it was shown that LINC02038 was negatively associated with lymphatic metastasis and distant metastasis. These results revealed that m6A/LINC02038/miR‑552‑5p/FAM172A may be a novel anti‑tumor axis and LINC02038 may serve as a biomarker and treatment option for colorectal cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse the epidemiological characteristics of imported malaria cases after malaria elimination in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, so as to provide reference for malaria prevention and control in grassroots healthcare institutions. METHODS All data pertaining to malaria cases reported in Yixing City from 2016 to 2022 were retrieved from Chinese Disease Control and Prevention Information System, and the data pertaining to vector monitoring and human malaria parasite infections from 2016 to 2022 were collected for a descriptive statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 14 imported malaria cases were reported in Yixing City from 2016 to 2022, including 12 cases with Plasmodium falciparum malaria, one case with P. vivax malaria and one case with P. ovale malaria, and all cases acquired infections in Africa and then returned to Yixing City. Malaria cases were reported across 2016 to 2022 except in 2020 and 2021. Malaria cases were predominantly reported during the period between December and February of the next year, and workers were the predominant occupation. The institutions where malaria was initially diagnosed included county-level general hospitals, county-level disease prevention and control institutions and grassroots healthcare centers, and there were 10 cases with definitive diagnosis of malaria on the day of initial diagnosis, with a 64.29% (9/14) correct rate of initial diagnosis. There were 5 cases diagnosed with severe malaria, and the standardized response rate was 100.00% following the "1-3-7" surveillance and response strategy. Of all malaria vectors, only Anopheles sinensis was monitored in Yixing City from 2016 to 2022, and all humans were tested negative for blood smears exceptimportedmalariacases. CONCLUSIONS The correct rate of initial malaria diagnosis was not high in healthcare institutions in Yixing City from 2016 to 2022, and there are still multiple challenges for prevention of re-establishment of imported malaria.

Abstract
We report the properties of primary cosmic-ray sulfur (S) in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV based on 0.38×10^{6} sulfur nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment (AMS). We observed that above 90 GV the rigidity dependence of the S flux is identical to the rigidity dependence of Ne-Mg-Si fluxes, which is different from the rigidity dependence of the He-C-O-Fe fluxes. We found that, similar to N, Na, and Al cosmic rays, over the entire rigidity range, the traditional primary cosmic rays S, Ne, Mg, and C all have sizeable secondary components, and the S, Ne, and Mg fluxes are well described by the weighted sum of the primary silicon flux and the secondary fluorine flux, and the C flux is well described by the weighted sum of the primary oxygen flux and the secondary boron flux. The primary and secondary contributions of the traditional primary cosmic-ray fluxes of C, Ne, Mg, and S (even Z elements) are distinctly different from the primary and secondary contributions of the N, Na, and Al (odd Z elements) fluxes. The abundance ratio at the source for S/Si is 0.167±0.006, for Ne/Si is 0.833±0.025, for Mg/Si is 0.994±0.029, and for C/O is 0.836±0.025. These values are determined independent of cosmic-ray propagation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its association with blood eosinophil count in healthy population and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS We analyzed the data of a total 6163 healthy individuals undergoing routine physical examination in our hospital between October, 2017 and December, 2021, who were divided according to their serum 25(OH)D level into severe vitamin D deficiency group (< 10 ng/mL), deficiency group (< 20 ng/mL), insufficient group (< 30 ng/mL) and normal group (≥30 ng/mL). We also retrospectively collected the data of 67 COPD patients admitted in our department from April and June, 2021, with 67 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination in the same period as the control group. Routine blood test results, body mass index (BMI) and other parameters were obtained from all the subjects, and logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between 25(OH)D levels and eosinophil count. RESULTS The overall abnormal rate of 25(OH)D level (< 30 ng/mL) in the healthy individuals was 85.31%, and the rate was significantly higher in women (89.29%) than in men. Serum 25(OH)D levels in June, July, and August were significantly higher than those in December, January, and February. In the healthy individuals, blood eosinophil counts were the lowest in severe 25(OH)D deficiency group, followed by the deficiency group and insufficient group, and were the highest in the normal group (P < 0.05). Multivariable regression analysis showed that an older age, a higher BMI, and elevated vitamin D levels were all risk factors for elevated blood eosinophils in the healthy individuals. The patients with COPD had lower serum 25(OH)D levels than the healthy individuals (19.66±7.87 vs 26.39±9.28 ng/mL) and a significantly higher abnormal rate of serum 25(OH)D (91% vs 71%; P < 0.05). A reduced serum 25(OH)D level was a risk factor for COPD. Blood eosinophils, sex and BMI were not significantly correlated with serum 25(OH)D level in patients with COPD. CONCLUSION Vitamin D deficiency is common in both healthy individuals and COPD patients, and the correlations of vitamin D level with sex, BMI and blood eosinophils differ obviously between healthy individuals and COPD patients.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is among the most aggressive malignancies associated with a 5-year survival rate of <9%, and the treatment options remain limited. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a new class of anticancer agents with superior efficacy and safety profiles. We studied the antitumor activity of Oba01 ADC and the mechanism underlying the targeting of death receptor 5 (DR5) in preclinical PC models. Our data revealed that DR5 was highly expressed on the plasma membrane of PC cells and Oba01 showed potent in vitro antitumor activity in a panel of human DR5-positive PC cell lines. DR5 was readily cleaved by lysosomal proteases after receptor-mediated internalization. Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) was then released into the cytosol to induce G2/M-phase growth arrest, cell death via apoptosis induction, and the bystander effect. Furthermore, Oba01 mediated cell death via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity. For improved potency, we investigated the synergetic effect of Oba01 in combination with approved drugs. Oba01 combined with gemcitabine showed better antiproliferative activity than either standalone treatment. In cell- and patient-derived xenografts, Oba01 showed excellent tumoricidal activity in mono- or combinational therapy. Thus, Oba01 may provide a novel biotherapeutic approach and a scientific basis for clinical trials in DR5-expressing patients with PC.

Abstract
We present the precision measurements of 11 years of daily cosmic electron fluxes in the rigidity interval from 1.00 to 41.9 GV based on 2.0×10^{8} electrons collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station. The electron fluxes exhibit variations on multiple timescales. Recurrent electron flux variations with periods of 27 days, 13.5 days, and 9 days are observed. We find that the electron fluxes show distinctly different time variations from the proton fluxes. Remarkably, a hysteresis between the electron flux and the proton flux is observed with a significance of greater than 6σ at rigidities below 8.5 GV. Furthermore, significant structures in the electron-proton hysteresis are observed corresponding to sharp structures in both fluxes. This continuous daily electron data provide unique input to the understanding of the charge sign dependence of cosmic rays over an 11-year solar cycle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the differences in sleep spindle (SS) characteristics during stage N2 sleep between children with childhood absence epilepsy and healthy controls, and between children with childhood absence epilepsy with or without cognitive impairment. METHODS We recruited 29 children (14 females, 15 males, mean age: 8 (2.5) years) with childhood absence epilepsy who did not undergone antiseizure treatments previously and 30 age-matched controls (14 females, 16 males, mean age: 9 (3.0) years). For all patients, data on medical history were collected. Each child was monitored overnight by long-term video electroencephalography and was evaluated by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition. Next, we compared anterior SS characteristics, including density, frequency, cycle length, duration, amplitude, and percentage of sleep stages. RESULTS The childhood absence epilepsy group exhibited lower spindle density and duration in the first 37.5 min of stage N2 sleep than the control group (P < 0.01). A decrease in spindle density could be observed in the childhood absence epilepsy group with aggravated cognition impairment. The spindle density was substantially lower in the cognitively impaired group than in the cognitively unimpaired group (P < 0.01). No significant differences were observed in SS amplitude, SS frequency, SS cycle length, and the distribution of sleep stages. CONCLUSIONS Reduction in spindle density and duration is associated with the mechanisms underlying childhood absence epilepsy. The deficit in SS density is related with impaired cognition. This deficiency in SSs may be a useful predictive indicator of cognitive impairment in children with absence epilepsy, indicating that SSs may become a useful biomarker and potential adjuvant anti-seizure target for cognitive impairment caused by childhood absence epilepsy.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to better understand the clinical features of photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) in Chinese children. Methods Thirty-one children with PSE were screened out of 398 children with epilepsy who were consecutively diagnosed by the video-electroencephalogram (VEEG) monitoring method and by using an intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) test. Their EEGs and clinical features were retrospectively analyzed, and their treatment outcomes were followed up. Results PSE accounted for 7.79% (31/398) of children with epilepsy during the observation period in our single epilepsy center. The male to female ratio of PSE was 1:3.43, and the average seizure onset age was 7.8 ± 3.28 years. The highest range of frequency sensitivity of the IPS test for the induction of EEG epileptic discharge or electroclinical seizures was within 10-20 Hz. Electroclinical seizures were induced in 41.94% (13/31) of PSE patients by using the IPS test, while EEG discharge without clinical seizures was induced in 58.06% (18/31) of PSE patients. Among all PSE patients, an IPS-positive reaction in the eye-closure state was induced in 83.87% of patients, and this rate was significantly higher than that in the eye-opened state (41.94%) or eye-closed state (35.48%). (Eye-closure IPS stimulation means: make the subjects close their eyes at the beginning of each stimulation, open their eyes at the end of the stimulation, and close their eyes again at the beginning of the next stimulation, and so on. While Eye-closed IPS stimulation means the stimulation is started after 5 s of eye closure, and the subjects are kept closed throughout the whole process.) The common and effective drugs used for single or combined therapy in PSE children were valproic acid and levetiracetam. Conclusion This study provides some useful information about electroclinical characteristics in a cohort of 31 PSE children. It may be beneficial for pediatric neurologists in terms of paying more attention to PSE and correctly dealing with it.

Abstract
Astrophysical reactions involving radioactive isotopes (RI) often play an important role in high-temperature stellar environments. The experimental studies on the reaction rates for those are still limited mainly due to the technical difficulties in producing high-quality RI beams. A direct measurement of those reactions would be still challenging in many cases, however, we can make a reliable evaluation of the reaction rates by an indirect method or by studying the resonance prorerties. Here we ntroduce recent examples of experimental studies on such RI-involving astrophysical reactions, performed at Center for Nuclear Study, the University of Tokyo, using the low-energy RI beam separator CRIB. One is for the neutron-induced destruction reactions of 7Be in the Big-Bang nucleosynthesis, and the other is the study on the 22Mg(α, p) reaction relevant in X-ray bursts, which was performed with the resonant scattering method from the inverse reaction channel.

Abstract
Previous research has suggested a link between gut microbiota and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but their causal relationship has not been elucidated. Aiming to comprehensively investigate their causal relationship and to identify specific causal microbe taxa for ADHD, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Instrumental variables of 211 gut microbiota taxa were obtained from gene wide association study (GWAS), and Mendelian randomization study was carried out to estimate their effects on ADHD risk from PGC GWAS (20,183 ADHD cases and 35,191 controls) and FinnGen GWAS (830 ADHD cases and 215,763 controls). Wald ratio (WR), inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, and weighted median were the main methods to analyze causality, and MR results are verified by several sensitivity analysis analyses. At locus-wide significance level (p < 1 × 10-5), IVW results confirmed that genus Eubacteriumhalliigroup (p = 0.013) and genus RuminococcaceaeUCG013 (p = 0.049) were correlated with the risk of ADHD and genus Butyricicoccus (p = 0.009), genus Roseburia (p = 0.009), genus Desulfovibrio (p = 0.015), genus LachnospiraceaeNC2004group (p = 0.026), genus Romboutsia (p = 0.028) and family Oxalobacteraceae (p = 0.048) were protective factors of ADHD. Weighted median results indicated that genus Butyricicoccus (p = 0.018) was negatively correlated with the risk of ADHD. At genome-wide statistical significance level (p < 5 × 10-8), Wald ratio results demonstrated that genus Ruminococcustorquesgroup (p = 0.003) was a risk factor for ADHD, while genus Romboutsia (p = 0.006) and family Peptostreptococcaceae (p = 0.006) had a negative correlation with the risk of ADHD. In reverse MR analysis, IVW results showed that ADHD may lead to an increase in the abundance of genus Roseburia (p = 0.020). Analysis of heterogeneity (p > 0.05) and pleiotropy (p > 0.05) confirmed the robustness of MR results. We demonstrated that there was a potential causal relationship between gut microbiota and ADHD. Our research provides a foundation for understanding the causal relationship between gut microbiota and ADHD, and the several gut bacteria found in this study that may reduce the occurrence of ADHD may have potential in the prevention and treatment of ADHD.

Abstract
The cytoskeleton plays an important role in epilepsy; however, the mechanism is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to reveal the mechanism of cytoskeletal proteins in epilepsy by investigating the expression of cytoskeletal proteins and synaptophysin (SYP) in mice at 0, 3, 6, and 24 h, 3 days, and 7 days in a kainic acid (KA)-induced epileptic model. Our results demonstrated that the expression of F-actin decreased significantly between 3 and 6 h, 6 and 24 h, and 24 h and 3 days (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the expression of the neurofilament light chain, neurofilament medium chain, and neurofilament heavy chain subunits was significantly decreased (P < 0.001) at 3 h after the KA injection compared to the KA 0 h group, followed by an elevation at 6 h and a further decrease at 24 h compared to at 6 h. SYP expression was significantly decreased between 0 and 3 h as well as between 3 and 6 h (P < 0.05). At 24 h, the level was increased compared to at 6 h and continued to increase at 3 days after the KA injection. Thus, we propose that cytoskeletal proteins may be involved in the pathogenesis of epilepsy.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of atrial cardiomyopathy in patients with different types of acute ischemic stroke and its relationship with cryptogenic stroke. Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke within 7 days of onset who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to September 2019 were prospectively and consecutively enrolled. All included patients were classified according to TOAST classification of ischemic stroke. Chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of atrial cardiomyopathy among patients with different TOAST classifications. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of cryptogenic stroke. Results: A total of 1 098 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled in the study, including 661 males and 437 females, with a median age [M(Q1,Q3)] of 61 (53, 68) years. The prevalence of atrial cardiomyopathy in patients with cryptogenic stroke[53.5% (46/86)] was higher than that in patients with large artery atherosclerosis [38.0%(63/166), P=0.018] and small vessel occlusion [19.4%(37/191), P<0.001], but was lower than that of patients in the cardioembolic group [97.3% (72/74), P<0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that atrial cardiomyopathy was an associated factor for cryptogenic stroke (OR=2.945, 95%CI: 1.766-4.911, P<0.001). Conclusions: Atrial cardiomyopathy is associated with cryptogenic stroke. The prevalence of atrial cardiomyopathy in patients with cryptogenic stroke is higher than that in patients with large artery atherosclerosis and small vessel occlusion, but lower than that in patients with cardiac embolism.

Abstract
The development of lenticulostriate stroke following mild head trauma accounts for 3% of traumatic brain injuries in children. Nevertheless, the pathogenesis of infantile lenticulostriate stroke with lenticulostriate calcification is poorly understood. In this study, we explored the association of a recent viral infection with the development of infantile lenticulostriate stroke with lenticulostriate calcification following mild head trauma in children. We examined the records for 49 children (<36 months old) diagnosed with infantile stroke following mild head trauma at the First Hospital of Jilin University between January 2007 and August 2019. The demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and laboratory and imaging results were collected and analyzed. Antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, and cytomegalovirus in the patient sera were assessed. A total of 18 patients with lenticulostriate stroke and calcification were included in the Patient group (16.61 ± 10.57 months), and 14 patients without calcification were included in the Control group (13.07 ± 7.66 months). Imaging findings demonstrated the presence of lenticulostriate stroke in all patients. There were no significant differences in the demographic characteristics or clinical manifestations of stroke between both groups (P > .05). Similarly, no significant differences were observed in the Epstein-Barr virus and herpes simplex virus-1 antibody positivity in both groups. In contrast, cytomegalovirus antibody was significantly more abundant in the Patient group (P < .05). All patients were hospitalized for conservative treatment with favorable prognoses. Our results suggest that cytomegalovirus infection may be associated with the development of lenticulostriate strokes in pediatric patients following minor head injury.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the proportion and clinical characteristics of underdiagnosed zonulopathy in angle closure glaucoma (ACG) patients and to explore the related risk factors. Methods: Case-control study. Continuous cases of ACG patients who underwent phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation and goniosynechialysis surgery [ACG group, including acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) and chronic angle closure glaucoma (CACG)] from November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021 and age-related cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation surgery in the same period (control group) were included. The diagnosis of zonulopathy was determined according to the intraoperative signs such as wrinkles of the anterior capsule during continuous circular capsulorhexis. The proportion of zonulopathy, preoperative diagnosis rate of zonulopathy, demographic characteristics, anterior chamber depth (ACD), axis length, difference of ACD in both eyes (ACD of the contralateral eye minus ACD of the operated eye) were compared between the two groups. The related risk factors were explored. The paired t-test (comparison between two groups of normally distributed data), non-parametric test (comparison between two groups of non-normally distributed data), Chi-square test (categorical variables), univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used. Results: There were 104 ACG patients (104 eyes), including 63 AACG patients (63 eyes) and 41 CACG patients (41 eyes), and 117 controls (117 eyes). There was no significant difference in age (P=0.29) and gender (P=0.07) between the two groups. The ACG group had shallower anterior chamber (P<0.001), shorter axial length (P<0.001) and more ACD difference in both eyes (P<0.001). In the ACG group, the proportion of zonulopathy was 46.2% (48/104), which was significantly higher than that (6.0%, 7/117) in the control group (P<0.001). In the control group, only zonular laxity was found, while in the ACG group, besides the predominant zonular laxity (68.8%, 33/48), there was zonular dehiscence (31.3%, 15/48). The eyes with AACG (57.1%, 36/63) had a higher proportion of zonulopathy than those with CACG (29.3%, 12/41) (P=0.006). In the ACG group, only 14 cases (29.8%) were diagnosed preoperatively according to slit lamp examination and/or ultrasound biomicroscopy. The proportion of underdiagnosed zonulopathy was 70.8% in the ACG group (34/48). A smaller ACD was found to be related to the zonulopathy in the ACG group. All AACG cases with an ACD ≤2.0 mm and CACG cases with an ACD ≤1.9 mm had zonulopathy. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the ACD difference in both eyes (P=0.025) and the diagnosis of ACG (AACG vs. cataract, P<0.001; CACG vs. cataract, P=0.023) were independent risk factors associated with zonulopathy. Conclusions: The proportion of underdiagnosed zonulopathy among ACG patients is high. Better preoperative diagnostic methods for zonulopathy are needed. Zonulopathy is common in ACG patients, especially in AACG patients, suggesting that zonulopathy may be related to the pathogenesis of ACG. The shallower the ACD, the riskier the zonulopathy. ACD differences between two eyes and ACG types (including AACG and CACG) were related risk factors of zonulopathy.(This article was published ahead of print on the Online-First Publishing Platform for Excellent Scientific Researches of Chinese Medical Association Publishing House on March 11, 2022).

Abstract
The β-delayed one- and two-neutron emission probabilities (P_{1n} and P_{2n}) of 20 neutron-rich nuclei with N≥82 have been measured at the RIBF facility of the RIKEN Nishina Center. P_{1n} of ^{130,131}Ag, ^{133,134}Cd, ^{135,136}In, and ^{138,139}Sn were determined for the first time, and stringent upper limits were placed on P_{2n} for nearly all cases. β-delayed two-neutron emission (β2n) was unambiguously identified in ^{133}Cd and ^{135,136}In, and their P_{2n} were measured. Weak β2n was also detected from ^{137,138}Sn. Our results highlight the effect of the N=82 and Z=50 shell closures on β-delayed neutron emission probability and provide stringent benchmarks for newly developed macroscopic-microscopic and self-consistent global models with the inclusion of a statistical treatment of neutron and γ emission. The impact of our measurements on r-process nucleosynthesis was studied in a neutron star merger scenario. Our P_{1n} and P_{2n} have a direct impact on the odd-even staggering of the final abundance, improving the agreement between calculated and observed Solar System abundances. The odd isotope fraction of Ba in r-process-enhanced (r-II) stars is also better reproduced using our new data.

Abstract
We have performed the first direct measurement of two resonances of the ^{7}Be(α,γ)^{11}C reaction with unknown strengths using an intense radioactive ^{7}Be beam and the DRAGON recoil separator. We report on the first measurement of the 1155 and 1110 keV resonance strengths of 1.73±0.25(stat)±0.40(syst) eV and 125_{-25}^{+27}(stat)±15(syst) meV, respectively. The present results have reduced the uncertainty in the ^{7}Be(α,γ)^{11}C reaction rate to ∼9.4%-10.7% over T=1.5-3 GK, which is relevant for nucleosynthesis in the neutrino-driven outflows of core-collapse supernovae (νp process). We find no effect of the new, constrained reaction rate on νp-process nucleosynthesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Life expectancies for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) have dramatically increased in recent years, accompanied by a rise in atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence. Data on AF ablation strategy and outcomes are limited in CHD.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate the characteristics of CHD patients presenting for AF ablation and their outcomes.
Methods
A multicenter, retrospective analysis was performed of CHD patients undergoing AF ablation between 2004 and 2020 at 13 participating centers. The severity of CHD was classified using the 2014 PACES/HRS guidelines. Clinical data were collected including ablation strategy and follow up. One-year procedural success was defined as freedom from AF in the absence of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs, complete) or including previously failed AADs (partial).
Results
Of 240 patients, 127 (53.4%) had persistent AF, 62.5% were male, and mean age was 55.2±0.9 years. CHD complexity categories included 147 (61.3%) simple, 69 (28.8%) intermediate and 25 (10.4%) severe. The most common CHD type was atrial septal defect (n=78). More complex CHD conditions included transposition of the great arteries (n=14), anomalous pulmonary veins (n=13), tetralogy of Fallot (n=8), cor triatriatum (n=7), single ventricle physiology (n=2), among others. The majority (71.3%) of patients had AF despite at least one AAD. 46 patients (22.1%) had a reduced systemic ventricular ejection fraction <50%, and the mean left atrial diameter was 44.1±0.7 mm. PV isolation (PVI) was performed in 227 patients (94.6%); additional ablation strategies included left atrial linear ablations (25.4%), CFAE (19.2%), and cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (40.8). One-year complete and partial success rates were 45.0% and 20.5%, respectively, with no significant difference in the rate of complete success between complexity groups. Overall, 38 patients (15.8%) required more than one ablation procedure. There were 3 (1.3%) major and 13 (5.4%) minor procedural complications.
Conclusion
AF ablation in this complex population was safe and resulted in AF control in the majority of patients. Future work should address the most appropriate ablation targets in the challenging population.

Abstract
Background The ketogenic diet (KD) is increasingly used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy because of its favorable effect on seizure reduction. Patients with mitochondrial diseases tend to experience seizures. Therefore, this study aimed to test the efficacy of the KD on participants with mitochondrial diseases in a controlled trial. Methods Participants from fourteen clinical centers who were diagnosed with mitochondrial disease were semi-randomized to either the intervention (KD) or control group. The KD group followed a 3-month KD intervention, while the control group received a 1-month normal diet initially and then a 3-month KD intervention. The primary outcome measure was seizure reduction. Biomarker changes, cognitive impairments, and side effects were also recorded, if available. Result A total of 33 participants were assigned to the KD (n = 22) and control groups (n = 11). In the KD group, 31.8% (7/22) of participants achieved ≥50% seizure reduction after 1 month of diet intervention, which increased to 40.9% (9/22) at 3 months. In the control group, only 18.2% (2/11) of the participants had ≥50% seizure reduction during the normal diet period. After the control group was transferred to the KD, 63.6% (7/11) of participants had >50% seizure reduction, and this rate increased to 72.7% (8/11) at 3 months. The KD also showed high efficacy in participants with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) or pathogenic variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) (90% and 93.3% response rates, respectively). The most frequent side effects reported at the 3-month review were vomiting, cold, hyperlipidemia, and bloating. Conclusion The KD is a safe and effective therapy for seizure control in mitochondrial diseases, especially MELAS and pathogenic variants of mtDNA. KD intervention can be considered in the management of these patients.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and impaired bone microarchitecture due to the abnormal activity of osteoclasts. Cathelicidins are antimicrobial peptides present in the lysosomes of macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. LL-37, a cathelicidin, induces various biological effects, including modulation of the immune system, angiogenesis, wound healing, cancer growth, as well as inflammation, and bone loss. A previous study reported direct involvement of LL-37 suppressing osteoclastogenesis in humans. Here, we examined the role of LL-37 in the treatment of osteoporosis using an ovariectomy (OVX) rat model. Our results showed that LL-37 significantly reduced bone loss and pathological injury in OVX rats with osteoporosis. Furthermore, we found that LL-37 significantly increased the activity of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in OVX rats with osteoporosis, including the increased expression of beta-catenin, Osterix (Osx), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), whereas XAV-939, an inhibitor of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway, significantly blocked the effects of LL-37 on bone loss and abnormal bone metabolism. Altogether, our findings suggested that LL-37 exerted a protective role in regulating bone loss and abnormal bone metabolism in rats with osteoporosis by activating the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of positioning accuracy of the multi-leaf collimators (MLC) on the passing rate of the plan dose verification for volumetric modulation arc therapy (VMAT) of cervical cancer using an Elekta linear accelerator. METHODS The dose distributions were measured using Sun Nuclear's Mapcheck and Arccheck semiconductors matrix before and after MLC calibration in30 cervical cancer patients undergoing VMAT. Dosimetric comparisons were performed with 2D and 3D gamma passing rates of 3%, 3 mm and 2%, and 2 mm. The 3D gamma distribution was reconstructed with respect to the patient's anatomy using 3DVH software to evaluate the possible influence of MLC positioning accuracy. RESULTS Before and after MLC calibration, the gamma passing rates of Mapcheck were (88.80±1.81)% and (99.25 ± 0.53)% under 3% and 3 mm standard, respectively, with an average increase of 10.45%. The corresponding gamma passing rates of Arccheck were (87.61±1.98)% and (98.13±0.99)%, respectively, with an average increase of 10.52%. The gamma passing rates of 3DVH were (89.87±2.28)% and (98.3±1.15)%, respectively, with an average increase of 8.43%. CONCLUSION The MLC positioning accuracy is one of the main factors influencing dosimetric accuracy of VMAT for cervical cancer. The application of Autocal software facilitates MLC calibration and improves the accuracy and safety of VMAT delivery for cervical cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does the Patient-Centred Questionnaire-Infertility (PCQ-Infertility) validate in China? Do patients experience different on patient-centredness in public fertility care compared to that in private fertility care?
Summary answer
PCQ-Infertility is valid in China. The patients in private fertility care have better experiences on patient-centredness than that in publicly fertility from results of PCQ-Infertility.
What is known already
Patient-centredness is one of the most important elements of quality of care. The PCQ-Infertility has validated to be a reliable tool to assess the extent of patient-centredness of fertility care in many countries, cross European counties to New Zealand. In China, physicians in many hospitals have recognized the importance of patient-centred infertility care, but lack of using instrument to measure it and then to improve it.
Study design, size, duration
This is a cross-sectional study. A survey with written questionnaire was performed among patients who diagnosed with infertility in Reproductive Medical Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University (publicly funded fertility care and Reproductive Medical Center of Hainan Modern Women and Children’s Hospital (private funded fertility care) between July and December 2021.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
In this study, 315 patients and 189 patients completed the survey at two reproductive medical centers. We used patient’s questionnaires to collect data on the patients’ experience with the quality of care. The PCQ-Infertility content, besides background questions, the questionnaire included 46 care aspects. Psychometric tests included inter-item and reliability analyses. An elaborate multivariate multilevel regression analysis was performed to assess the PCQs ability to measure differences in patient-centredness between reproductive medical centers.
Main results and the role of chance
The questionnaire was completed by 315 and 189 patients from the two hospitals. Patients’ mean scores on overall patient-centredness and the eight subscales (possible range 0–3) were calculated. High scores represent positive experiences with care. Both private and public hospitals scored high on care organization and communication. The lowest scores for both hospitals were the subscale, namely,‘information’. The significant differences between two hospitals were in “accessibility, respect for patient’s values, continuity and transition”.
Limitations, reasons for caution
This study is cross-sectional, the sample size is small, and enrolled fertility care centers are only two.
Wider implications of the findings
The PCQ-infertility is encouraged to be used in China to measure the patient-centredness, and can be adopted for quality improvement especially for publicly funded fertility care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent studies indicate that Alzheimer's disease- (AD) related biomarkers, including amyloid β (Aβ40 and Aβ42) and tau proteins (P-tau and T-tau), in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the results have been inconsistent. Therefore, the primary purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the relationship between blood and CSF AD-related biomarkers and OSA. METHODS We searched the Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant articles till February 2022. RESULTS Eight articles were finally included after the literature screening, including 446 patients with OSA and 286 controls. Pooled analysis showed that CSF Aβ42 (SMD = -0.220, P = 0.136), T-tau (SMD = 0.012, P = 0.89), and P-tau (SMD = 0.099, P = 0.274) levels were not different between patients with OSA and controls. In patients with moderate to severe OSA, CSF Aβ42 (SMD = -0.482, P = 0.031) were significantly lower than in controls. Blood T-tau (SMD = 0.560, P = 0.026), P-tau (SMD = 0.621, P < 0.001), and Aβ40 (SMD = 0.656, P < 0.001) levels were significantly higher in patients with OSA than in controls. Blood Aβ42 (SMD = 0.241, P = 0.232) were not different between patients with OSA and controls. CONCLUSION OSA is associated with changes in AD-related markers. Higher OSA severity may be associated with the development of AD. AD-related biomarkers, especially in the blood, are clinically efficient, less invasively assessed and monitored, and may be useful for detecting OSA and related cognitive impairments. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.
