Abstract
Objective To explore the impact of common gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms on psychological symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods A unified questionnaire was developed to collect clinical data on the mental psychology and quality of life of IBD patients from 42 hospitals in 22 provinces in P. R. China from September 2021 to May 2022. The general clinical characteristics, psychological symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life of IBD patients with different numbers of GI symptoms were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis. Results A total of 2,478 IBD patients were finally analysed in this study, including 365 without GI symptoms (14.7%), 752 with single symptoms (30.4%), 841 with double symptoms (33.9%), and 520 with three symptoms (21.0%). Compared with patients without GI symptoms, patients with only simple abdominalgia or diarrhea or hematochezia showed significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression and worse quality of life (all P < 0.05). Compared with asymptomatic patients, patients with double symptoms (e.g. abdominalgia plus hematochezia, diarrhea plus hematochezia, abdominalgia plus diarrhea) and patients with three symptoms (abdominalgia, diarrhea, and hematochezia) showed significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression and worse sleep quality and quality of life (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Compared with IBD patients without gastrointestinal symptoms, patients with gastrointestinal symptoms were more likely to experience anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and poorer quality of life.

Abstract
Background Recurrence following radical resection in patients with stage IB gastric cancer (GC) is not uncommon. However, whether postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy could reduce the risk of recurrence in stage IB GC remains contentious. Methods We collected data on 2110 consecutive patients with pathologic stage IB (T1N1M0 or T2N0M0) GC who were admitted to 8 hospitals in China from 2009 to 2018. The survival of patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy was compared with that of postoperative observation patients using propensity score matching (PSM). Two survival prediction models were constructed to estimate the predicted net survival gain attributable to adjuvant chemotherapy. Findings Of the 2110 patients, 1344 received adjuvant chemotherapy and 766 received postoperative observation. Following the 1-to-1 matching, PSM yielded 637 matched pairs. Among matched pairs, adjuvant chemotherapy was not associated with improved survival compared with postoperative observation (OS: hazard ratio [HR], 0.72; 95% CI, 0.52-1.00; DFS: HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.64-1.29). Interestingly, in the subgroup analysis, reduced mortality after adjuvant chemotherapy was observed in the subgroups with elevated serum CA19-9 (HR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.08-0.57; P = 0.001 for multiplicative interaction), positive lymphovascular invasion (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.17-0.62; P < 0.001 for multiplicative interaction), or positive lymph nodes (HR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.07-0.38; P < 0.001 for multiplicative interaction). The survival prediction models mainly based on variables associated with chemotherapy benefits in the subgroup analysis demonstrated good calibration and discrimination, with relatively high C-indexes. The C-indexes for OS were 0.74 for patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and 0.70 for patients treated with postoperative observation. Two nomograms were built from the models that can calculate individualized estimates of expected net survival gain attributable to adjuvant chemotherapy. Interpretation In this cohort study, pathologic stage IB alone was not associated with survival benefits from adjuvant chemotherapy compared with postoperative observation in patients with early-stage GC. High-risk clinicopathologic features should be considered simultaneously when evaluating patients with stage IB GC for adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the current situation of mental psychology and quality of life (QoL) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in China, and analyze the influencing factors. METHODS A unified questionnaire was developed to collect clinical data on IBD patients from 42 hospitals in 22 provinces from September 2021 to May 2022. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted, and independent influencing factors were screened out to construct nomogram. The consistency index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, area under the ROC curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the discrimination, accuracy, and clinical utility of the nomogram model. RESULTS A total of 2478 IBD patients were surveyed, including 1371 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 1107 patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Among them, 25.5%, 29.7%, 60.2%, and 37.7% of IBD patients had anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance and poor QoL, respectively. The proportion of anxiety, depression, and poor QoL in UC patients was significantly higher than that in CD patients (all p < 0.05), but there was no difference in sleep disturbance between them (p = 0.737). Female, higher disease activity and the first visit were independent risk factors for anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance in IBD patients (all p < 0.05). The first visit, higher disease activity, abdominal pain and diarrhea symptoms, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance were independent risk factors for the poor QoL of patients (all p < 0.05). The AUC value of the nomogram prediction model for predicting poor QoL was 0.773 (95% CI: 0.754-0.792). The calibration diagram of the model showed that the calibration curve fit well with the ideal curve, and DCA showed that the nomogram model could bring clinical benefits. CONCLUSION IBD patients have higher anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance, which affect their QoL. The nomogram prediction model we constructed has high accuracy and performance when predicting QoL.

Abstract
Taurine is used to bolster immunity, but its effects on antitumor immunity are unclear. Here, we report that cancer-related taurine consumption causes T cell exhaustion and tumor progression. The taurine transporter SLC6A6 is correlated with aggressiveness and poor outcomes in multiple cancers. SLC6A6-mediated taurine uptake promotes the malignant behaviors of tumor cells but also increases the survival and effector function of CD8+ T cells. Tumor cells outcompete CD8+ T cells for taurine by overexpressing SLC6A6, which induces T cell death and malfunction, thereby fueling tumor progression. Mechanistically, taurine deficiency in CD8+ T cells increases ER stress, promoting ATF4 transcription in a PERK-JAK1-STAT3 signaling-dependent manner. Increased ATF4 transactivates multiple immune checkpoint genes and induces T cell exhaustion. In gastric cancer, we identify a chemotherapy-induced SP1-SLC6A6 regulatory axis. Our findings suggest that tumoral-SLC6A6-mediated taurine deficiency promotes immune evasion and that taurine supplementation reinvigorates exhausted CD8+ T cells and increases the efficacy of cancer therapies.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics of cervical lymph node metastasis in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted. A total of 329 patients with TSCC who underwent en bloc resection of primary tumor and neck dissection in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2010 to March 2018 were included. There were 283 males and 46 females, aged from 26 to 80 years. All patients underwent the modified neck dissection. The main difference between the modified neck dissection and the traditional neck dissection lay in the managements of unconventional lymph nodes. The lymphatic adipose tissues adjacent to the superior thyroid artery, the base of facial artery and the branches of external carotid artery were thoroughly dissected. The primary tumor as well as lingual artery, tissues along the lingual artery and lymph nodes in the mouth floor were resected. χ2 test was used for comparison of count data, and linear regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Results: Cervical lymph node metastases were found in 136 patients (41.3%). Among 142 patients (T1-2cN0) with supraomohyoid neck dissection, 22 patients had pathologically occult lymph node metastases (15.5%), with a 5-year overall survival rate of 90.2%, which was similar to the 5-year overall survival rate of 92.1% in 120 patients without lymph node metastasis (χ2=0.156, P=0.693). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that T stage, clinical stage and unconventional lymph node metastasis were important factors for cervical lymph node metastasis in tongue cancer patients (P<0.05). Unconventional lymph node metastases occurred in 30 patients (9.1%), including the metastases of lymph nodes in the floor of mouth (3.0%), the lingual artery (2.4%), the base of the external maxillary artery (2.1%), the superior thyroid artery (0.9%), and the external carotid artery (0.6%). There were significant differences in the unconventional lymph node metastasis rates between patients with negative and positive conventional lymph node metastases [4.9%(10/203) vs. 15.9%(20/126), χ2=11.242, P=0.001] and also between patients with depth of invasion ≤5 mm, 5 mm 10 mm [3.1%(2/64) vs. 5.7%(6/106) vs. 13.8%(22/159), χ2=7.907, P=0.005]. Conclusion: Supraomohyoid neck dissection can achieve reliable control efficacy in patients with cN0 tongue cancer. All patients with lymph node dissection should undergo unconventional lymph node dissection. Unconventional lymph node dissection is strongly recommended for patients with conventional lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
Neutron-gamma discrimination is a tough and significative in experimental neutrons measurements procedure, especially for low-energy neutrons signal discrimination. In this work, based on the Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) and Back-Propagation (BP) artificial neural networks, a neutron-gamma discrimination method is developed to broaden the lower limit of energy threshold with the hidden layer of 20 neurons. Compared with neutron-gamma discrimination method based on PSD only, the developed neutron-gamma discrimination method based on the PSD and BP-ANN can discriminate neutron and gamma-ray signals with low energy threshold, which can discriminate signals up to 99.93%. Moreover, this work can reduce the energy threshold from 350 keV to 70 keV, as well as the acquired data utilization increased from 60% to more than 99.9%, which overcome the hardware limitations and distinguish neutron and gamma-ray signals, effectively. The developed neutron-gamma discrimination method and the trained neural network can be directly used to other experimental neutrons measurements.

Abstract
Utilizing the first in-human functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) of the spinal cord, we demonstrate the integration of spinal functional responses to electrical stimulation. We record and characterize the hemodynamic responses of the spinal cord to a neuromodulatory intervention commonly used for treating pain and increasingly used for the restoration of sensorimotor and autonomic function. We found that the hemodynamic response to stimulation reflects a spatiotemporal modulation of the spinal cord circuitry not previously recognized. Our analytical capability offers a mechanism to assess blood flow changes with a new level of spatial and temporal precision in vivo and demonstrates that fUSI can decode the functional state of spinal networks in a single trial, which is of fundamental importance for developing real-time closed-loop neuromodulation systems. This work is a critical step toward developing a vital technique to study spinal cord function and effects of clinical neuromodulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by an immune-suppressive microenvironment, which contributes to tumor progression, metastasis, and immunotherapy resistance. Identification of HCC-intrinsic factors regulating the immunosuppressive microenvironment is urgently needed. Here, we aimed to elucidate the role of SYR-Related High-Mobility Group Box 18 (SOX18) in inducing immunosuppression and to validate novel combination strategies for SOX18-mediated HCC progression and metastasis. METHODS The role of SOX18 in HCC was investigated in orthotopic allografts and diethylinitrosamine/carbon tetrachloride-induced spontaneous models by using murine cell lines, adeno-associated virus 8, and hepatocyte-specific knockin and knockout mice. The immune cellular composition in the HCC microenvironment was evaluated by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. RESULTS SOX18 overexpression promoted the infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) while diminishing cytotoxic T cells to facilitate HCC progression and metastasis in cell-derived allografts and chemically induced HCC models. Mechanistically, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) upregulated SOX18 expression by activating the Smad2/3 complex. SOX18 transactivated chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) to induce the immunosuppressive microenvironment. CXCL12 knockdown significantly attenuated SOX18-induced TAMs and Tregs accumulation and HCC dissemination. Antagonism of chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), the cognate receptor of CXCL12, or selective knockout of CXCR4 in TAMs or Tregs likewise abolished SOX18-mediated effects. TGFβR1 inhibitor Vactosertib or CXCR4 inhibitor AMD3100 in combination with anti-PD-L1 dramatically inhibited SOX18-mediated HCC progression and metastasis. CONCLUSIONS SOX18 promoted the accumulation of immunosuppressive TAMs and Tregs in the microenvironment by transactivating CXCL12 and PD-L1. CXCR4 inhibitor or TGFβR1 inhibitor in synergy with anti-PD-L1 represented a promising combination strategy to suppress HCC progression and metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC; diagnosed <50 years of age) is rising globally; however, the causes underlying this trend are largely unknown. Colorectal cancer (CRC) has strong genetic and environmental determinants, yet common genetic variants and causal modifiable risk factors underlying EOCRC are unknown. We conducted the first EOCRC-specific genome-wide association study (GWAS) and Mendelian randomization analyses to explore germline genetic and causal modifiable risk factors associated with EOCRC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of 6,176 EOCRC cases and 65,829 controls from Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO), Colorectal Transdisciplinary study (CORECT), Colon Cancer Family Registry (CCFR), and UK Biobank. We then used the EOCRC GWAS to investigate 28 modifiable risk factors using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). RESULTS We found two novel risk loci for EOCRC at 1p34.1 and 4p15.33, not previously associated with CRC risk. We identified a deleterious coding variant (rs36053993, G396D) at polyposis-associated DNA repair gene MUTYH (OR=1.80 [95%CI=1.47-2.22]) but show that most of the common genetic susceptibility was from non-coding signals enriched in epigenetic markers present in gastrointestinal tract cells. We identified new EOCRC susceptibility genes, and in addition to pathways such as TGFβ, SMAD, BMP, and PI3K signaling, our study highlights a role for insulin signaling and immune/infection-related pathways in EOCRC. In our MR analyses, we found novel evidence of probable causal associations for higher levels of body size and metabolic factors - such as body fat percentage, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, basal metabolic rate, and fasting insulin - higher alcohol drinking and lower education attainment, with increased EOCRC risk. CONCLUSION Our novel findings indicate inherited susceptibility to EOCRC and suggest modifiable lifestyle and metabolic targets that could also be used to risk stratify individuals for personalized screening strategies or other interventions.

Abstract
Background Baseline serological biomarkers have the potential to predict the benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer. However, the fluctuating nature of postoperative recurrence risk makes precise treatment challenging. We aimed to develop a risk score in real-time predicting outcomes for postoperative GC patients using blood chemistry tests. Materials and methods This was a retrospective, multicentre, longitudinal cohort study from three cancer centres in China, with a total of 2737 GC patients in the pTNM stage Ib to III. Among them, 1651 patients with at least two serological records were assigned to the training cohort. Model validation was carried out using separate testing data with area under curve (AUC). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and random forest-recursive feature elimination (RF-RFE) algorithm were used to select the parameters. Results The Cox regression model derived six risk factors to construct a composite score (low-risk: 0-2 score; high risk: 3-6 score), including CEA, CA125, CA199, haemoglobin, albumin, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. The risk score accurately predicted mortality in 1000-time bootstrap (AUROCs:0.658; 95% CI: 0.645, 0.670), with the highest AUROC (0.767; 95% CI: 0.743, 0.791) after 1 year since the gastrectomy. In validation dataset, the risk score had an AUROC of 0.586 (95% CI 0.544, 0.628). Furthermore, patients with high risk at 1 month derived significant clinical benefits from adjuvant chemotherapy (P for interaction <0.0001). Compared with the low-low-low risk group, the low-low-high risk group of the long-term state chain (risk state at baseline, 6 months, 1 year) had the worse OS (HR, 6.91; 95%CI: 4.27, 11.19) and DFS (HR, 7.27; 95%CI: 4.55, 11.63). Conclusion The dynamic risk score is an accurate and user-friendly serological risk assessment tool for predicting outcomes and assisting clinical decisions after gastrectomy.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic and nonspecific inflammatory disease of the intestine, has become a prevalent global health concern. This guideline aims to equip clinicians and caregivers with effective strategies for the treatment and management of adult UC patients using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The guideline systematically evaluated contemporary evidence through the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework. Additionally, it incorporated insights from ancient Chinese medical sources, employing the evidence grading method found in traditional TCM literature. The development process involved collaboration with multidisciplinary experts and included input from patients with UC. The guideline, based on a comprehensive review of available evidence, present 40 recommendations. They offer a condensed overview of TCM's role in understanding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of UC, along with an assessment of the efficacy of various TCM-based treatments. TCM exhibits promising outcomes in the treatment of UC. However, to establish its efficacy conclusively, further high-quality clinical studies on TCM for UC are essential.

Abstract
Escherichia coli LF82 (LF82) is associated with Crohn's disease. The simplicity and genetic maneuverability of honeybees' gut microbiota make them suitable for studying host-microbe interactions. To understand the interaction between LF82 and host gut, LF82 was used to infect germ-free honeybees (Apis mellifera) orally. We found that LF82 successfully colonized the gut and shortened the lifespan of germ-free bees. LF82 altered the gut structure and significantly increased gut permeability. RT-qPCR showed that LF82 infection activated anti-infective immune pathways and upregulated the mRNAs levels of antimicrobial peptides in the gut of germ-free bees. The gut transcriptome showed that LF82 significantly upregulated genes involved in Notch signaling, adhesion junctions, and Toll and Imd signaling pathways and downregulated genes involved in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway, protein digestion and absorption, and tyrosine metabolism. In conclusion, the human-derived enteropathogenic bacterium LF82 can successfully colonize the gut of germ-free honeybees and cause enteritis-like changes, which provides an ideal model organism for revealing the pathogenesis of bacterial-associated diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS RNA splicing is an essential step in regulating the gene posttranscriptional expression. Serine/arginine-rich splicing factors (SRSFs) are splicing regulators with vital roles in various tumors. Nevertheless, the expression patterns and functions of SRSFs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not fully understood. METHODS Flow cytometry and immunofluorescent staining were used to determine the CD8+T cell infiltration. Orthotopic HCC model, lung metastasis model, DEN/CCl4 model, Srsf10△hep model, and Srsf10HepOE model were established to evaluate the role of SRSF10 in HCC and the efficacy of combination treatment. RESULTS SRSF10 was one of the most survival-relevant genes among SRSF members and was an independent prognostic factor for HCC. SRSF10 facilitated HCC growth and metastasis by suppressing CD8+T cell infiltration. Mechanistically, SRSF10 down-regulated the p53 protein by preventing the exon 6 skipping (exon 7 in mouse) mediated degradation of MDM4 transcript, thus inhibiting CD8+T cell infiltration. Elimination of CD8+T cells or overexpression of MDM4 removed the inhibitory role of SRSF10 knockdown in HCC growth and metastasis. SRSF10 also inhibited the IFNα/γ signaling pathway and promoted the HIF1α-mediated up-regulation of PD-L1 in HCC. Hepatocyte-specific SRSF10 deficiency alleviated the DEN/CCl4-induced HCC progression and metastasis, whereas hepatocyte-specific SRSF10 overexpression deteriorated these effects. Finally, SRSF10 knockdown enhanced the anti-PD-L1-mediated anti-tumor activity. CONCLUSIONS SRSF10 promoted HCC growth and metastasis by repressing CD8+T cell infiltration mediated by the MDM4-p53 axis. Furthermore, SRSF10 suppressed the IFNα/γ signaling pathway and induced the HIF1α signal mediated PD-L1 up-regulation. Targeting SRSF10 combined with anti-PD-L1 therapy showed promising efficacy.

Abstract
Background The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rapidly increasing in China, a vast country with significant geographical differences. The socioeconomic status of Eastern China is significantly higher than that of Western China. Objectives This study aimed to describe the geographical heterogeneity in the characteristics and management of patients with IBD in both Eastern and Western China. Design This was a multicenter, cross-sectional study. Methods Patients with IBD with ages ⩾18 years up to 18 January 2023 were included in the analysis from the Chinese database for IBD. Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors associated with surgeries among patients with IBD. Results Among 8305 patients with IBD, the ratio of ulcerative colitis (UC) to Crohn's disease (CD) was 4.13 and 0.33 in Western and Eastern China, respectively. The median age at diagnosis of UC and CD was 40.69 and 28.58 years, respectively. There was a male predominance among patients with UC (54.3%) and CD (68.0%). The two regions exhibited a similar distribution of disease locations in UC. However, Western China had a higher proportion of L2 involvement (30.0% versus 19.1%) and more advanced disease behavior (B2 and B3) (48.8% versus 39.8%) than Eastern China. Patients with IBD in Western China received more 5-aminosalicylic acid and corticosteroids and fewer immunomodulators and biologicals. In terms of surgical risk, Eastern China [versus Western China, odds ratios (OR): 5.36, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 2.96-9.68] was associated with a higher risk of surgery in UC, while Western China (versus Eastern China, OR: 3.39, 95% CI: 2.37-4.86) was associated with a higher risk of surgery in CD. Conclusion Geographical heterogeneity exists in the disease characteristics and management of IBD in Eastern and Western China. These findings have the potential to guide the formulation of location-specific strategies aimed at enhancing the long-term outcomes of patients with IBD.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a high risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). This cancer type, which is strongly associated with chronic inflammation, is called colitis-associated CRC (CAC). Understanding the molecular pathogenesis of CAC is crucial to identify biomarkers necessary for early diagnosis and more effective treatment directions. The accumulation of immune cells and inflammatory factors, which constitute a complex chronic inflammatory environment in the intestinal mucosa, may cause oxidative stress or DNA damage to the epithelial cells, leading to CAC development and progression. An important feature of CAC is genetic instability, which includes chromosome instability, microsatellite instability, hypermethylation, and changes in noncoding RNAs. Furthermore, the intestinal microbiota and metabolites have a great impact on IBD and CAC. By clarifying immune, genetic, intestinal microecology, and other related pathogenesis, CAC may be more predictable and treatable.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Thoracic irradiation involves large blood vessels and hematopoietic tissues which was easily inducing lymphopenia. Lymphocytes are important components of immune response and lymphopenia is associated with poorer survival. However, the dynamic recovery of lymphocyte subsets after thoracic irradiation were rarely reported in the literature. This study focused on dynamic changes of lymphocytes subsets of mice after receiving thoracic irradiation in and out of radiation field. MATERIALS/METHODS C57BL/6 male mice aged 6-8 weeks received 2Gy*5fx whole thoracic irradiation and were sacrificed on the 1 day, 7 days, 15 days, 25 days after irradiation. Peripheral blood was harvested for mature lymphocyte subsets (B cells, T cells, CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, NK cells) detection by performing flow cytometry, while thymus, femur bone marrow and sternal bone marrow for hematopoietic stem cells (Long-term Hematopoietic Stem Cell [LT-HSC], Short-term Hematopoietic Stem Cell [ST-HSC]) and progenitor cells (Multipotent Progenitor [MPP], Common Lymphoid Progenitor [CLP]). Absolute counts method was used in flow cytometry and data analysis were performed by scientific 2-D graphing and statistics software. RESULTS We found that the lymphocyte subsets were significantly reduced in peripheral blood of irradiated mice (all p<0.05). The mature lymphocyte subsets returned to normal 2-3 weeks after irradiation. After radiation, thymus weight was significantly decreased (p<0.0001). With the recovery of thymus weight, the number of hematopoietic stem cells returned to the baseline. For the femur bone marrow (out of the radiation field), hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells showed a proliferation tendency. MPP significantly increased in the 1day after irradiation (p = 0.0347) and LT-HSC increased in the 8 days (p = 0.0011). However, although ST-HSC and CLP were slightly increased after irradiation, there were no statistically significance. The sternal bone marrow (in the radiation field) reached the lowest value 1day after irradiation (all p<0.0001). Although hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells recovered gradually, but still far away from the level of the control group (all p<0.05). CONCLUSION The recovery of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood might mainly come from the supplement of bone marrow out of the irradiation field, while bone marrow in the field suffered serious destruction which did slightly help for lymphocytes recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Lymphocytes play a critical role in anti-tumor, and are highly sensitive to radiation. However, the dynamic changes of lymphocytes subsets after receiving thoracic radiotherapy have rarely been investigated. This study was to explore the recovery characteristics of each subset, and the role of thymosin α1 after thoracic radiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 252 patients receiving chest radiotherapy included in this study. Blood was harvested before, at the end of radiotherapy, 1 month, 4 months, 7 months, 10 months, 13 months, and 19 months after radiotherapy for lymphocyte subsets detection by performing flow cytometry. In addition, a total of 26 patients with thoracic malignancy were treated with thymosin α1 after radiotherapy for one month. The number of lymphocyte subsets at the end of 1 month after radiotherapy were compared with control group. Absolute counts method was used in flow cytometry. RESULTS At the end of radiotherapy, nearly all of the subsets decreased significantly (T cell: 65.4%, Tc cell: 64.8%, Th cell: 66.1%, B cell: 88.7%, NK cell: 68.8%), except Treg cell. Tc cells recovered rapidly to baseline level at 1 month. The number of NK cells increased by 1.95 times at 1 month, and recovered to baseline level at 7th month. The number of B cell at 1 month was still 19.2% compared baseline, and recovered slowly to baseline at 7th month. The number of Th cells were nearly no recovery, and were 44.1% compared with baseline even at 19th month. For patients with thymosin α1 injection, all of the lymphocyte subsets had no significant difference compared those without thymosin α1 injection. In addition, younger patients were with better recovery in Th cells (p = 0.011) and B cells (p < 0.001) than elder patients at 1 month. CONCLUSION B cell was the most radiosensitive lymphocyte, and Th cell was continuous exhaustion after thoracic radiation. Thymosin α1 had no effect on lymphocyte subpopulation recovery, and new drugs are urgently needed to explore in the future.

Abstract
Alternative splicing regulates gene expression and functional diversity and is often dysregulated in human cancers. Here, we discovered that the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) MIR99AHG regulated alternative splicing to alter the activity of a chromatin remodeler and promote metastatic behaviors in colorectal cancer (CRC). MIR99AHG was abundant in invasive CRC cells and metastatic tumors from patients and promoted motility and invasion in cultured CRC cells. MIR99AHG bound to and stabilized the RNA splicing factor PTBP1, and this complex increased cassette exon inclusion in the mRNA encoding the chromatin remodeling gene SMARCA1. Specifically, MIR99AHG altered the nature of PTBP1 binding to the splice sites on intron 12 of SMARCA1 pre-mRNA, thereby triggering a splicing switch from skipping to including exon 13 to produce the long isoform, SMARCA1-L. SMARCA1, but not SMARCA1-L, suppressed invadopodia formation, cell migration, and invasion. Analysis of CRC samples revealed that the abundance of MIR99AHG transcript positively correlated with that of SMARCA1-L mRNA and PTBP1 protein and with poor prognosis in patients with CRC. Furthermore, TGF-β1 secretion from cancer-associated fibroblasts increased MIR99AHG expression in CRC cells. Our findings identify an lncRNA that is induced by cues from the tumor microenvironment and that interacts with PTBP1 to regulate alternative splicing, potentially providing a therapeutic target and predictive biomarker for metastatic CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Better predictors of patients with stage II/III gastric cancer (GC) most likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy are urgently needed. This study aimed to assess the ability of CDX2 and mucin markers to predict prognosis and fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy benefits. METHODS CDX2 and mucin protein expressions were examined by immunohistochemistry and compared with survival and adjuvant chemotherapy benefits in a prospective evaluation cohort of 782 stage II/III GC patients. Then, the main findings were validated in an independent validation cohort (n = 386) and an external mRNA sequencing dataset (ACRG cohort, n = 193). RESULTS In the evaluation cohort, CDX2, CD10, MUC2, MUC5AC, and MUC6 expressions were observed in 59.7%, 26.7%, 27.6%, 55.1%, and 57.7% of patients, respectively. However, only the expression of CDX2 was found to be associated with adjuvant chemotherapy benefits. Most importantly, CDX2-negative patients had a poorer prognosis when treated with surgery only, while the prognosis of CDX2-negative and CDX2-positive patients was similar when receiving postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Further analysis revealed that patients with CDX2 negative tumors benefited from chemotherapy (5-year overall survival rates: 60.0% with chemotherapy vs. 23.2% with surgery-only, p < 0.001), whereas patients with CDX2 positive tumors did not (pinteraction = 0.004). Consistent results were obtained in the validation and ACRG cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Negative expression of CDX2 is an independent risk factor for survival in stage II/III GC, but subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy is able to compensate for this unfavorable effect. Therefore, active chemotherapy is more urgent for patients with negative CDX2 expression than for patients with positive CDX2 expression.

Abstract
Background: Metastasis is a major cause of HCC-related deaths with no effective pharmacotherapies. Chronic inflammation promotes HCC dissemination, however, its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of Krüppel-like factor 7 (KLF7) in inflammation-provoked HCC metastasis and proposed therapeutic strategies for KLF7-positive patients. Methods: The expression of KLF7 in human HCC specimens were examined by immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR. The luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to explore the transcriptional regulation related to KLF7. Orthotopic xenograft models and DEN/CCl4-induced HCC models were established to evaluate HCC progression and metastasis. Results: KLF7 overexpression promotes HCC metastasis through transactivating toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and protein tyrosine kinase 2 (PTK2) expression. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) upregulates KLF7 expression through the TLR4/advanced glycosylation end-product specific receptor (RAGE)-PI3K-AKT-NF-κB pathway, forming an HMGB1-KLF7-TLR4 positive feedback loop. The HMGB1-KLF7-TLR4/PTK2 axis is gradually activated during the progression of inflammation-HCC transition. Genetic depletion of KLF7 impedes HMGB1-mediated HCC progression and metastasis. The combined application of TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 and PTK2 inhibitor defactinib alleviates HCC progression and metastasis induced by the HMGB1-KLF7 axis. In human HCCs, KLF7 expression is positively correlated with cytoplasmic HMGB1, p-p65, TLR4, and PTK2 levels, and patients positively co-expressing HMGB1/KLF7, p-p65/KLF7, KLF7/TLR4 or KLF7/PTK2 exhibit the worst prognosis. Conclusions: HMGB1-induced KLF7 overexpression facilitates HCC progression and metastasis by upregulating TLR4 and PTK2. Genetic ablation of KLF7 via AAV gene therapy and combined blockade of TLR4 and PTK2 represents promising therapy strategies for KLF7-positive HCC patients.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota closely correlates with the tumorigenesis of digestive system cancers (DSCs). However, whether the causality between gut microbiota and DSCs exists is unknown. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for gut microbiota and DSCs and the bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis were utilized to assess the causality between gut microbiota and DSCs. Sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness of our results. We found that the genus Eggerthella (OR = 0.464, 95%CI: 0.27 to 0.796, p = 0.005) was negatively associated with the risk of gastric cancer. The genetically predicted genus Lachnospiraceae FCS020 group (OR = 0.607, 95%CI: 0.439 to 0.84, p = 0.003) correlated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer, and genus Turicibacter (OR = 0.271, 95%CI: 0.109 to 0.676, p = 0.005) was a protective factor for liver cancer. In the reverse MR, DSCs regulated the relative abundance of specific strains of gut microbiota. We comprehensively screened the association between gut microbiota and DSCs using a bidirectional two-sample MR analysis and identified the causality between several microbial taxa and DSCs. Our discoveries are beneficial for the development of novel microbial markers and microbiota-modifying therapeutics for DSC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although many observational studies have shown an association between rosiglitazone and cardiovascular disease (CVD) or risk factors, controversy remains. We conducted a Mendelian randomized (MR) study to explore whether rosiglitazone is causally related to CVDs and risk factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with rosiglitazone at genome-wide significance were identified from a genome-wide association study of 337,159 European-ancestry individuals. Four treatments with rosiglitazone-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with a higher risk of CVDs were used as an instrumental variable (IV). Summary-level data for 7 CVDs and 7 risk factors were obtained from UK Biobank and consortia. RESULTS We found no causal effects of rosiglitazone, either on CVDs or risk factors. The results were consistent in sensitivity analyses using Cochran's Q test, MR-PRESSO method, leave-one-out analysis and Mendelian randomization-Egger method (MR-Egger), and no directional pleiotropy was observed. Sensitivity analyses confirmed that rosiglitazone was not significantly associated with CVDs and risk factors. CONCLUSIONS The findings from this MR study indicate no causal relationship between rosiglitazone and CVDs or risk factors. Hence, previous observational studies may have been biased.

Abstract
Objective To explore the correlation between disease activity and anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods The disease activity of IBD patients was evaluated by 66 gastroenterologists from 42 hospitals in 22 provinces in China from September 2021 to May 2022. Anxiety, depression, sleep quality and quality of life of IBD patients were investigated and statistically analyzed by different scales, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (IBD-Q). Results A total of 2478 IBD patients were included, of which 1532 (61.8%) were in active stage and 946 (38.2%) were in remission. The proportions of active IBD with anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and poor quality of life were 29.5%, 29.7%, 71.1%, and 50.1%, respectively, while the proportions of remission IBD with anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and poor quality of life were 19.1%, 24.4%, 69.3%, and 17.4%, respectively. IBD patients who also had anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances and poor quality of life had 80 cases (8.46%) in remission and 114 cases (7.44%) in active stage, with 54 cases (9.18%) in mild activity, 51 cases (6.95%) in moderate activity and 9 cases (4.49%) in severe activity. IBD patients with different disease activity levels differed in GAD-7 scores, PHQ-9 scores, PSQI scores, and IBD-Q scores (all P<0.001). In IBD patients, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance, which interact with each other, can further aggravate their disease activity (all P<0.001). Conclusion Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and quality of life are strongly correlated with disease activity in IBD patients, and IBD patients with psychological disturbances are most often in the active stage and have a poor quality of life.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is a process that occurs in cells when they are exposed to oxidative stress. During the process reactive oxygen species attack lipids within the lipid bilayers of cells. Since the products of lipid peroxidation are toxic and carcinogenic, it is important to understand where and how it occurs with nanoscale resolution. The radical intermediates of this process are particularly interesting since they are causing chain reactions damaging large parts of the lipid membranes in cells. However, they are also difficult to measure for the state of the art because they are short lived and reactive. Here, we study the lipid peroxidation of three artificial lipid bilayers on a diamonds substrate that can be used to study lipid peroxidation. In particular, we present a diamond quantum sensing method called T1-relaxometry that allows for in situ measurements and imaging of radical intermediates of lipid peroxidation in these membranes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a well-developed therapeutic target in breast and gastric cancer (GC). However, the impact of HER2 on survival and benefit from fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy remains unclear in patients with GC. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter cohort study involved 5622 consecutive stage II/III GC patients. HER2 expression was assessed prospectively via immunohistochemistry (IHC). The staining intensity was graded on a scale of 0 to 3+. An IHC score of 2+or 3+was defined as high expression, and a score of 3+was defined as overexpression. RESULTS HER2 overexpression was independently associated with a lower 5-year overall survival (OS) in stage II [hazard ratio (HR), 2.10; 95% CI: 1.41-3.11], but not in stage III GC (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.82-1.20). Further analysis revealed that stage II patients with high HER2 expression showed a poorer response to chemotherapy than stage II patients with low HER2 expression ( Pinteraction =0.024). The HRs for 5-year OS were 0.51 (95% CI, 0.38-0.70) for stage II patients with low HER2 expression, 0.58 (95% CI, 0.51-0.66) for stage III patients with low HER2 expression, 1.13 (95% CI, 0.61-2.09) for stage II patients with high HER2 expression, and 0.47 (95% CI, 0.36-0.61) for stage III patients with high HER2 expression. CONCLUSIONS Fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy is insufficient for stage II GC patients with high HER2 expression, indicating that prospective trials are required to validate alternative HER2-targeted adjuvant therapies in the individuals above.

Abstract
Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) is effective in reducing CRC related mortality. Current screening methods include endoscopy based and biomarker based approaches. This guideline is a joint official statement of the Asian Pacific Association of Gastroenterology (APAGE) and the Asian Pacific Society of Digestive Endoscopy (APSDE), developed in response to the increasing use of, and accumulating supportive evidence for the role of, non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of CRC and its precursor lesions. A systematic review of 678 publications and a two stage Delphi consensus process involving 16 clinicians in various disciplines was undertaken to develop 32 evidence based and expert opinion based recommendations for the use of faecal immunochemical tests, faecal based tumour biomarkers or microbial biomarkers, and blood based tumour biomarkers for the detection of CRC and adenoma. Comprehensive up-to-date guidance is provided on indications, patient selection and strengths and limitations of each screening tool. Future research to inform clinical applications are discussed alongside objective measurement of research priorities. This joint APAGE-APSDE practice guideline is intended to provide an up-to-date guide to assist clinicians worldwide in utilising non-invasive biomarkers for CRC screening; it has particular salience for clinicians in the Asia-Pacific region.

Abstract
ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors for poor sleep quality in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.Methods2,478 IBD patients were enrolled to investigate their sleep quality using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Clinical and psychological characteristics were collected to explore the risk factors for poor sleep quality. A hurdle model was conducted to predict poor sleep quality based on the risk factors. Among this hurdle model, the logistic regression model was used to determine risk factors of the presence of poor sleep quality, and the zero-inflated negative binomial model was employed to identify risk factors of the severity of poor sleep quality.ResultsIn this study, 1,491 (60.17%) IBD patients had poor sleep quality, and the proportion in the older group was higher than younger group (64.89% vs. 58.27%, p = 0.003). According to multivariable logistic regression, age (OR, 1.011; 95% CI [1.002,1.020]; p = 0.014), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score (OR, 1.263; 95% CI [1.228,1.300]; p < 0.001), systemic (OR, 0.906; 95% CI [0.867,0.946]; p < 0.001) and emotional performance (OR, 1.023; 95% CI [1.005,1.043]; p = 0.015) were risk factors of the presence of poor sleep quality. The area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.808. According to zero-truncated negative binomial regression, age (RR, 1.004; 95% CI [1.002,1.005]; p < 0.001) and PHQ-9 score (RR, 1.027; 95% CI [1.021,1.032]; p < 0.001) were risk factors of the severity of poor sleep quality.ConclusionThe prevalence of poor sleep quality among the older group in IBD patients was relatively high. Old age and depressive mood are risk factors for both the presence and severity of poor sleep quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the gender differences in the psychological symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS A unified questionnaire was developed to collect clinical data on the psychology and quality of life of IBD patients from 42 hospitals in 22 provinces in China from September 2021 to May 2022. The general clinical characteristics, psychological symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life of IBD patients of different genders were analyzed via a descriptive statistical analysis. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted, and independent influencing factors were screened to construct a nomogram to predict the quality of life. The consistency index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, area under the ROC curve (AUC), and calibration curve were used to evaluate the discrimination and accuracy of the nomogram model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical utility. RESULTS A total of 2478 IBD patients (1371 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 1107 patients with Crohn's disease (CD)) were investigated, including 1547 males (62.4%) and 931 females (37.6%). The proportion of anxiety in females was significantly higher than in males (IBD: 30.5% vs. 22.4%, p < 0.001; UC: 32.4% vs. 25.1%, p = 0.003; CD: 26.8% vs. 19.9%, p = 0.013), and there were differences in the severity of anxiety between the genders (IBD: p < 0.001; UC: p < 0.001; CD: p = 0.050). The proportion of depression in females was higher than in males (IBD: 33.1% vs. 27.7%, p = 0.005; UC: 34.4% vs. 28.9%, p = 0.031; CD: 30.6% vs. 26.6%, p = 0.184), and there were differences in the severity of depression between the genders (IBD: p = 0.004; UC: p = 0.022; CD: p = 0.312). The proportion suffering from sleep disturbances among females was slightly higher than among males (IBD: 63.2% vs. 58.4%, p = 0.018; UC: 63.4% vs. 58.1%, p = 0.047; CD: 62.7% vs. 58.6%, p = 0.210), and the proportion of females with a poor quality of life was higher than that of males (IBD: 41.8% vs. 35.2%, p = 0.001; UC: 45.1% vs. 39.8%, p = 0.049; CD: 35.4% vs. 30.8%, p = 0.141). The AUC values of the female and male nomogram prediction models for predicting poor quality of life were 0.770 (95% CI: 0.7391-0.7998) and 0.771 (95% CI: 0.7466-0.7952), respectively. The calibration diagrams of the two models showed that the calibration curves fitted well with the ideal curve, and the DCA that showed nomogram models could bring clinical benefits. CONCLUSIONS There were significant gender differences in the psychological symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life of IBD patients, suggesting that females need more psychological support. In addition, a nomogram model with high accuracy and performance was constructed to predict the quality of life of IBD patients of different genders, which is helpful for the timely clinical formulation of personalized intervention plans that can improve the prognosis of patients and save medical costs.

Abstract
Background: Cuproptosis is a newly defined form of cell death, whether cuproptosis involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. Method: We obtained patients' RNA expression data and follow-up information from University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We analyzed the mRNA level of Cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) and performed univariate Cox analysis. Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) was chosen for further investigation. Real-Time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), Western blotting (WB), Immunohistochemical (IHC), and Transwell assays were used to determine expression patterns and functions of CRGs in LIHC. Next, we identified CRGs-related lncRNAs (CRLs) and differentially expressed CRLs between HCC and normal cases. Univariate Cox analysis, least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to construct the prognostic model. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis was used to assess whether the risk model can act as an independent risk factor of overall survival duration. Different risk groups performed immune correlation analysis, tumor mutation burden (TMB), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis were performed in different risk groups. Finally, we assessed the performance of the predictive model in drug sensitivity. Results: CRGs expression levels have significant differences between tumor and normal tissues. High expression of Dihydrolipoamide S-Acetyltransferase (DLAT) correlated to metastasis of HCC cells and indicated poor prognosis for HCC patients. Our prognostic model consisted of four cuproptosis-related lncRNA (AC011476.3, AC026412.3, NRAV, MKLN1-AS). The prognostic model performed well in predicting survival rates. The results from Cox regression analysis suggested that risk score can serve as an independent prognostic element for survival durations. Survival analysis revealed that low risk patients have extended survival periods compared with those with high risk. The results of the immune analysis indicated that risk score has a positive correlation with B cell and CD4+ T cell Th2, while has a negative relationship with endothelial cell and hematopoietic cells. Besides, immune checkpoint genes have higher expression folds in the high-risk set than in the low-risk set. The high-risk group had higher rates of genetic mutation than the low-risk set while having a shorter survival time. GSEA revealed the signaling pathways enriched in the high-risk group were mostly immune-related, while metabolic-related pathways were enriched in the low-risk group. Drugs sensitivity analysis indicated that our model has the ability to predict the efficacy of clinical treatment. Conclusion: The Cuproptosis-related lncRNAs prognostic formula is a novel predictor of HCC patients' prognosis and drug sensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The correlation and difference in T-cell phenotypes between peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in patients with gastric cancer (GC) is not clear. We aimed to characterize the phenotypes of CD8+ T cells in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and PBLs in patients with different outcomes and to establish a useful survival prediction model. METHODS Multiplex immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry were used to detect the expression of inhibitory molecules (IMs) and active markers (AMs) in CD8+TILs and PBLs, respectively. The role of these parameters in the 3-year prognosis was assessed by receiver operating characteristic analysis. Then, we divided patients into two TIME clusters (TIME-A/B) and two PBL clusters (PBL-A/B) by unsupervised hierarchical clustering based on the results of multivariate analysis, and used the Kaplan-Meier method to analyze the difference in prognosis between each group. Finally, we constructed and compared three survival prediction models based on Cox regression analysis, and further validated the efficiency and accuracy in the internal and external cohorts. RESULTS The percentage of PD-1+CD8+TILs, TIM-3+CD8+TILs, PD-L1+CD8+TILs, and PD-L1+CD8+PBLs and the density of PD-L1+CD8+TILs were independent risk factors, while the percentage of TIM-3+CD8+PBLs was an independent protective factor. The patients in the TIME-B group showed a worse 3-year overall survival (OS) (HR: 3.256, 95% CI 1.318-8.043, P = 0.006), with a higher density of PD-L1+CD8+TILs (P < 0.001) and percentage of PD-1+CD8+TILs (P = 0.017) and PD-L1+CD8+TILs (P < 0.001) compared to the TIME-A group. The patients in the PBL-B group showed higher positivity for PD-L1+CD8+PBLs (P = 0.042), LAG-3+CD8+PBLs (P < 0.001), TIM-3+CD8+PBLs (P = 0.003), PD-L1+CD4+PBLs (P = 0.001), and LAG-3+CD4+PBLs (P < 0.001) and poorer 3-year OS (HR: 0.124, 95% CI 0.017-0.929, P = 0.015) than those in the PBL-A group. In our three survival prediction models, Model 3, which was based on the percentage of TIM-3+CD8+PBLs, PD-L1+CD8+TILs and PD-1+CD8+TILs, showed the best sensitivity (0.950, 0.914), specificity (0.852, 0.857) and accuracy (κ = 0.787, P < 0.001; κ = 0.771, P < 0.001) in the internal and external cohorts, respectively. CONCLUSION We established a comprehensive and robust survival prediction model based on the T-cell phenotype in the TIME and PBLs for GC prognosis.

Abstract
The accurate assessment of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with early gastric cancer is critical to the selection of the most appropriate surgical treatment. This study aims to develop an optimal LNM prediction model using different methods, including nomogram, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, and deep learning methods. In this study, we included two independent datasets: the gastrectomy set (n=3158) and the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) set (n=323). The nomogram, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, and fully convolutional neural networks (FCNN) models were established based on logistic regression analysis of the development set. The predictive power of the LNM prediction models was revealed by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration plots. We then used the ESD set as an external cohort to evaluate the models' performance. In the gastrectomy set, multivariate analysis showed that gender (P=0.008), year when diagnosed (2006-2010 year, P=0.265; 2011-2015 year, P=0.001; and 2016-2020 year, P<0.001, respectively), tumor size (2-4 cm, P=0.001; and ≥4 cm, P<0.001, respectively), tumor grade (poorly-moderately, P=0.016; moderately, P<0.001; well-moderately, P<0.001; and well, P<0.001, respectively), vascular invasion (P<0.001), and pT stage (P<0.001) were independent risk factors for LNM in early gastric cancer. The area under the curve (AUC) for the validation set using the nomogram, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, and FCNN models were 0.78, 0.76, 0.77, and 0.79, respectively. In conclusion, our multi-cohort study systematically investigated different LNM prediction methods for patients with early gastric cancer. These models were validated and shown to be reliable with AUC>0.76 for all. Specifically, the FCNN model showed the most accurate prediction of LNM risks in early gastric cancer patients with AUC=0.79. Based on the FCNN model, patients with LNM rates of >4.77% are strong candidates for gastrectomy rather than ESD surgery.

Abstract
Background: Metastasis accounts for the high lethality of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Unfortunately, the molecular mechanism manipulating metastasis in CRC is still elusive. Here, we investigated the function of E74-like factor 4 (ELF4), an ETS family member, in facilitating CRC progression. Methods: The expression of ELF4 in human CRC samples and CRC cell lines was determined by quantitative real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. The migratory and invasive phenotypes of CRC cells were evaluated by in vitro transwell assays and in vivo metastatic models. The RNA sequencing was used to explore the downstream targets of ELF4. The luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were used to ascertain the transcriptional regulation related to ELF4. Results: We found elevated ELF4 was positively correlated with distant metastasis, advanced AJCC stages, and dismal outcomes in CRC patients. ELF4 expression was also an independent predictor of poor prognosis. Overexpression of ELF4 boosted CRC metastasis via transactivating its downstream target genes, fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) and SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase, SRC. Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) upregulated ELF4 expression through the ERK1/2/SP1 axis. Clinically, ELF4 expression had a positive correlation with FGF19, FGFR4 and SRC, and CRC patients who positively coexpressed FGF19/ELF4, ELF4/FGFR4, or ELF4/SRC exhibited the worst clinical outcomes. Furthermore, the combination of the FGFR4 inhibitor BLU-554 and the SRC inhibitor KX2-391 dramatically suppressed ELF4-mediated CRC metastasis. Conclusions: We demonstrated the essentiality of ELF4 in the metastatic process of CRC, and targeting the ELF4-relevant positive feedback circuit might represent a novel therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
The Asia-Pacific region has the largest number of cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) and one of the highest levels of mortality due to this condition in the world. Since the publishing of two consensus recommendations in 2008 and 2015, significant advancements have been made in our knowledge of epidemiology, pathology and the natural history of the adenoma-carcinoma progression. Based on the most updated epidemiological and clinical studies in this region, considering literature from international studies, and adopting the modified Delphi process, the Asia-Pacific Working Group on Colorectal Cancer Screening has updated and revised their recommendations on (1) screening methods and preferred strategies; (2) age for starting and terminating screening for CRC; (3) screening for individuals with a family history of CRC or advanced adenoma; (4) surveillance for those with adenomas; (5) screening and surveillance for sessile serrated lesions and (6) quality assurance of screening programmes. Thirteen countries/regions in the Asia-Pacific region were represented in this exercise. International advisors from North America and Europe were invited to participate.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of anterolateral thigh flap preforming tongue in patients with total glossectomy. Methods: A total of 27 patients with tongue cancer who underwent total glossectomy, neck lymph node dissection and anterolateral thigh flap transfer were collected from January 2019 to April 2021 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Second Xiangya Hospital. All patients were males, the age ranged from 35-73 years. The patients were divided into experimental (14 cases) and control (13 cases) groups, based on whether the tongue was reconstructed. The clinical parameters of two groups were analyzed by independent sample t test or Fisher exact probability method. Results: The success rate of free flap was 100%, of the patients, 2 patients had cervical hematoma and 1 patient had wound infection postoperatively. There was no difference in speech (6.69±3.42 vs. 5.50±3.01, t=0.96, P=0.346) or swallowing (χ2=0.46, P=0.793) function between two groups at 1 month after surgery. However, the speech (24.94±7.43 vs. 18.44±6.30, t=2.48, P=0.020) and swallowing (χ2=6.97, P=0.008) functions in experimental group were significantly better than those in control group. No case was lost to follow-up. All patients were extubated after operation, with average time of 7.2 days in the experimental group and 7.7 days in the control group. The overall survival rate was 71.4% in the experimental group and 61.5% in the control group. Conclusion: The use of anterolateral thigh flap preforming tongue can improve the speech and swallowing functions in patients with total glossectomy and offer a novel method for tongue construction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary central nervous system (CNS) cancer is a predominant source of mortality and morbidity globally. This study aims to analyze the burden and variation trends of CNS cancer in China from 1990 to 2019. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed people of all ages with CNS cancer in China from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 2019. We collected the data including incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019. The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized death rate (ASDR), and DALYs rate were compared by age and sex. RESULTS In 2019, there were more than 94 (95% uncertainty intervals [CI]: 73-114) thousand incident cases, 63 (47-76) thousand deaths and 2.0 (1.5-2.5) million DALYs due to CNS cancer in China in 2019. From 1990 to 2019, the absolute number of incident cases, deaths, and DALYs increased by 107.0% (39.0 to 169.0), 67.0% (12.0 to 117.0), and 16.0% (-23.0 to 63.0). The ASIR increased by 28.0% (-16.0 to 64.0). ASDR and age-standardized DALYs rate decreased by -10.0% (-40.0 to 15.0) and -22.0% (-50.0 to 10.0), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The overall burden due to CNS cancer in China remains high, as evidenced by the sharp increase in the incident cases, deaths, and DALYs from 1990 to 2019. Elderly patients and neonates show relatively high burden. Sex-specific differences in the incidence of CNS cancer in China are observed.

Abstract
Free radical generation plays a key role in viral infections. While free radicals have an antimicrobial effect on bacteria or fungi, their interplay with viruses is complicated and varies greatly for different types of viruses as well as different radical species. In some cases, radical generation contributes to the defense against the viruses and thus reduces the viral load. In other cases, radical generation induces mutations or damages the host tissue and can increase the viral load. This has led to antioxidants being used to treat viral infections. Here we discuss the roles that radicals play in virus pathology. Furthermore, we critically review methods that facilitate the detection of free radicals in vivo or in vitro in viral infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of nutritional status on 90-day functional outcomes of stroke patients with acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation after endovascular treatment (EVT). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the baseline, laboratory, surgical and 90-day follow-up data of patients with stroke resulting from acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation, who underwent emergency endovascular treatment in our hospital from July, 2015 to December, 2020. A favorable outcome was defined as a modified Rankin scale score ≤2 at 90 days. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to explore the relationship between nutritional status and 90-day functional outcomes of the patients. RESULTS A total of 459 patients (mean age of 68.29±11.21 years, including 260 males) were enrolled in this study. According to their prognostic nutritional index (PNI), the patients were divided into normal nutrition group (392 cases, 85.4%), moderate malnutrition group (44 cases, 9.6%), and severe malnutrition group (23 cases, 5.0%). Univariate analysis showed that the patients with good clinical outcomes had a lower proportion of malnutrition with a younger age, a lower rate of diabetes, lower baseline blood pressure, lower baseline NIHSS score, higher baseline ASPECT score, and higher rates of good collateral circulation and complete vascular recanalization. Multivariate analysis showed that in addition to age, diabetes, baseline systolic blood pressure, successful recanalization, baseline ASPECT score, baseline NIHSS score and collateral circulation, a greater PNI was a protective factor for a good 90-day outcome of patients after EVT (moderate vs severe: OR=0.245, 95% CI: 0.066-0.908, P=0.035; normal vs severe: OR=0.185, 95% CI: 0.059-0.581, P=0.004). CONCLUSION Nutritional status an important factor affecting the 90-day outcomes after EVT of stroke patients with acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation.

Abstract
Objective: BMI may play a protective role in reducing the mortality rate of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but its effect on acute exacerbation of COPD remain unclear. Methods: Subjects were selected from the COPD patients registration system established in 2014 in Pudong new district, Shanghai. COPD patients from 8 communities were selected by cluster sampling and follow up was conducted prospectively for 18 months. Basic information and BMI were obtained from baseline survey, and acute exacerbations were collected during follow-up. The association between BMI and risk of acute exacerbation was evaluated by using multiple negative binomial regression. Results: Among 328 community COPD patients, 295 who completed the follow up were included in the analysis, in whom 96.3% (284/295) were mild COPD patients. During the follow-up, 11.1% (33/295) of the patients reported acute exacerbation. The results of multiple negative binomial regression suggested that, the risk for acute exacerbation decreased with the increase of BMI (IRR=0.85, 95%CI:0.73-0.98), overweight patients with BMI ≥25.0 kg/m2 (IRR=0.36, 95%CI:0.13-0.91) or moderate BMI (T2 vs. T1, IRR=0.31, 95%CI:0.11-0.77) had lower risk for acute exacerbation compared with the patients with normal or low BMI. BMI had a linear correlation with the risk of acute exacerbation. Conclusion: The risk for acute exacerbation in patients with mild or moderate COPD in communities decreased with the increase of BMI, and being overweight might be a protective factor for the acute exacerbation of COPD.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are often accompanied with some cognitive impairment, but the mechanism is unclear. By orally exposing honeybees (Apis mellifera) to IBD-associated Escherichia coli LF82 (LF82), and non-pathogenic Escherichia coli MG1655 (MG1655) as the normal strain, we investigated whether and how LF82 induces enteritis-like manifestations and cognitive behavioral modifications in honeybees using multiparametric analysis. LF82 significantly increased gut permeability, impaired learning and memory ability in olfactory proboscis extension response conditioning, and shortened the lifespan of honeybees. Compared to MG1655, LF82 reduced the levels of tryptophan metabolism pathway substances in the honeybee gut. LF82 also upregulated genes involved in immune and apoptosis-related pathways and downregulated genes involved in G protein-coupled receptors in the honeybee brain. In conclusion, LF82 can induce enteritis-like manifestations and cognition impairment through gut metabolites and brain transcriptome alteration in honeybees. Honeybees can serve as a novel potential model to study the microbiota-gut-brain interaction in IBD condition.

Abstract
Background Distinguishing Crohn's disease (CD) and intestinal Behçet's disease (BD) is difficult in clinical practice. Aim To evaluate the ability of CT enterography (CTE) to enhance the diagnostic value of endoscopy in differentiating CD from intestinal BD and to establish differential diagnosis models. Methods A total of 113 patients with CD and 70 patients with intestinal BD from seven tertiary inflammatory bowel disease centers were enrolled. The univariate and multivariate analyses were used by SAS software version 9.2. Three differential scoring models based on the multivariate analysis of endoscopic features alone (model 1), endoscopic features combined with clinical symptoms (model 2), and endoscopic features combined with clinical symptoms and CTE (model 3) were established. Results The results showed that model 2 increased the efficacy of model 1 in differential diagnosis and model 3 had the highest accuracy of 84.15% at a cutoff value of two points. The scoring of model 3 was as follows: genital ulcer (−3 points), skin lesions (−3 points), oval ulcer (-2 points), longitudinal ulcer (1 point), number of ulcers > 5 (3 points), inflammatory polyps (2 points), mucosal severe enhancement (2 points), and fibrofatty proliferation (1 point). Conclusion Clinical symptoms and CTE increased the ability of endoscopy to differentiate CD from intestinal BD.
