Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to assess the multiscalar changes in leprosy burden and its associated risk factors over the last three decades. STUDY DESIGN We conducted an in-depth examination of leprosy's spatial-temporal trends at multiple geographical scale (global, regional, and national), utilizing information from Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD 2019). METHODS Incidence and the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of leprosy were determined, with countries categorized based on leprosy incidence changes. We examined socioeconomic and physical geography influences on leprosy incidence via Spearman correlation analysis, using ternary phase diagrams to reveal the synergetic effects on leprosy occurrence. RESULTS Globally, incident cases of leprosy decreased by 27.86% from 1990 to 2019, with a reduction in ASIR (EAPC = -2.53), yet trends were not homogeneous across regions. ASIR and EAPC correlated positively with sociodemographic index (SDI), and an ASIR growth appeared in high SDI region (EAPC = 3.07). Leprosy burden was chiefly distributed in Tropical Latin America, Oceania, Central Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia. Negative correlations were detected between the incidence of leprosy and factors of SDI, GDP per capita, urban population to total population, and precipitation, whereas the number of refugee population, temperature, and elevation showed opposite positive results. CONCLUSIONS Despite a global decline in leprosy over the past three decades, the disparities of disease occurrence at regional and national scales still persisted. Socioeconomic and physical geographic factors posed an obvious influence on the transmission risk of leprosy. The persistence and regional fluctuations of leprosy incidence necessitate the ongoing dynamic and multilayered control strategies worldwide in combating this ancient disease.

Abstract
The facet joint injection is the most common procedure used to release lower back pain. In this paper, we proposed a deep learning method for detecting and segmenting facet joints in ultrasound images based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and enhanced data annotation. In the enhanced data annotation, a facet joint was considered as the first target and the ventral complex as the second target to improve the capability of CNNs in recognizing the facet joint. A total of 300 cases of patients undergoing pain treatment were included. The ultrasound images were captured and labeled by two professional anesthesiologists, and then augmented to train a deep learning model based on the Mask Region-based CNN (Mask R-CNN). The performance of the deep learning model was evaluated using the average precision (AP) on the testing sets. The data augmentation and data annotation methods were found to improve the AP. The AP50 for facet joint detection and segmentation was 90.4% and 85.0%, respectively, demonstrating the satisfying performance of the deep learning model. We presented a deep learning method for facet joint detection and segmentation in ultrasound images based on enhanced data annotation and the Mask R-CNN. The feasibility and potential of deep learning techniques in facet joint ultrasound image analysis have been demonstrated.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the influencing factors to predict the negative nucleic acid conversion time and ORF1ab gene CT value changes in patients with asymptomatic and mild COVID-19. Patients and Methods A total of 73,456 patients with asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 admitted to the Mobile Cabin Hospital in Shanghai from April 3 to April 23, 2022 were selected as the research objects. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Correlation analysis was performed. Results In patients <18 years old and ≥65 years old, COVID-19 vaccine can shorten the negative nucleic acid conversion time, which is reflected in the lower median or 75% quantile (P<0.001, P<0.05). In patients with underlying diseases, the negative nucleic acid conversion time of booster vaccination and complete vaccination was lower than that of non-vaccinated group (P<0.001, P<0.05). In patients ≤18 years of age or >65 years of age, patients with comorbidity and patients with symptoms, compared with patients 18-65 years of age, patients without comorbidity and patients without symptoms, there was a greater difference in the rate of rise of CT values between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients (P<0.05). Conclusion The time of nucleic acid conversion to negative in patients with asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 is affected by age, comorbidity, and first nucleic acid CT value. Vaccination could shorten the negative nucleic acid conversion time of the older population, those with complications or symptoms. The vaccination of older patients does not increase the risk of symptoms.

Abstract
Background In recent years, baroreflex activation therapy (BAT) has been utilized to treat heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, the supporting literature on its efficacy and safety is still limited. This investigation elucidates the effects of BAT in HFrEF patients to provide a reference for future clinical applications. Methods This investigation follows Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Relevant investigations on the use of BAT in HFrEF patients were searched and selected from 5 databases, including Web of Science, MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, from inception to December 2022. The methodological quality of eligible articles was assessed via the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and for meta-analysis, RevMan (5.3) was used. Results Randomized controlled trials comprising 343 participants were selected for the meta-analysis, which revealed that in HFrEF patients, BAT enhanced the levels of LVEF (MD: 2.97, 95 % CI: 0.53 to 5.41), MLHFQ (MD: -14.81, 95 % CI: -19.57 to -10.06) and 6MWT (MD: 68.18, 95 % CI: 51.62 to 84.74), whereas reduced the levels of LVEDV (MD: -15.79, 95 % CI: -32.96 to 1.37) and DBP (MD: -2.43, 95 % CI: -4.18 to -0.68). Conclusion It was concluded that BAT is an efficient treatment option for HFrEF patients. However, to validate this investigation, further randomized clinical trials with multiple centers and large sample sizes are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early oral intake (EOI) is supposed to be safe and beneficial to patients' recovery. However, the optimal timing of resuming oral intake has not been validated in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. On the other hand, a modified electromyography (EMG) endotracheal intubation protocol with real-time EMG monitoring during video laryngoscope/fibrescope-guided intubation was presented in 2022, which was regarded as an effective way to shorten the intubation time. We aimed to use Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire to compare the efficacy and safety of different EMG endotracheal intubation protocols combined with different postoperative oral intake strategy in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This prospective, single-centre, 2×2 factorial, randomised controlled trial will be conducted in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), China. We plan to recruit 200 adult patients who will receive thyroid or parathyroid surgery under intraoperative nerve monitoring. Eligible patients will be randomly divided into two groups, which will receive either the modified intubation protocol (M group) or conventional intubation process (C group). After patients enter postanaesthesia care unit and Steward scores ≥4, they will be randomly divided into two groups again, which will receive early resumption of oral intake (E group) or delayed resumption of oral intake (D group). Patients will be followed up during hospitalisation and the QoR-15 questionnaire will be administered to compare the quality of recovery on the day before surgery (T0), the first day after surgery (T1) and the day of discharge (T2). The primary outcome is the QoR-15 scores at T1. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (IRB K-2501). All participants will give written informed consent before participation. The results from this study will be shared at conferences and disseminated in international journals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is a simple and valid method to evaluate cardiopulmonary function. We performed this prospective study in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal cancer surgery to explore the association between preoperative 6MWT performance and overall postoperative complications. METHODS This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03711526). The study consecutively enrolled patients receiving laparoscopic gastrointestinal cancer surgery in our institution. All patients performed the 6MWT upon recruitment and received 30 days of postoperative follow-up. The primary outcome was overall complications, defined by ≥ grade I Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification (2004) complications. Multivariable logistic regression was used to test the association of 6-min walk distance (6MWD) with the outcome. RESULTS A total of 184 patients were included in the final analyses. In the 37 (20.1 %) patients with overall complications, the mean (standard deviation) preoperative 6MWD was 469.1 (86.8) m. In patients with no complications, the 6MWD was 502.6 (90.2) m. The mean difference was 33.5 m (95 % confidence interval, 1.3, 65.7; P = 0.042). A longer preoperative 6MWD was associated with a lower odds of developing postoperative complications (odds ratio, 0.994 per meter increase; 95 % confidence interval, 0.989, 0.999; p = 0.023). CONCLUSION This study indicated an association between the preoperative 6MWD and postoperative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The phase III RATIONALE-302 study evaluated tislelizumab, an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 antibody, as second-line (2L) treatment for advanced/metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This prespecified exploratory analysis investigated outcomes in patients from Europe and North America (Europe/North America subgroup). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with tumor progression during/after first-line systemic treatment were randomized 1 : 1 to open-label tislelizumab or investigator's choice of chemotherapy (paclitaxel, docetaxel, or irinotecan). RESULTS The Europe/North America subgroup comprised 108 patients (tislelizumab: n = 55; chemotherapy: n = 53). Overall survival (OS) was prolonged with tislelizumab versus chemotherapy (median: 11.2 versus 6.3 months), with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.55 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.35-0.87]; HR was similar irrespective of programmed death-ligand 1 score [≥10%: 0.47 (95% CI 0.18-1.21); <10%: 0.55 (95% CI 0.30-1.01)]. Median progression-free survival was 2.3 versus 2.7 months with tislelizumab versus chemotherapy [HR: 0.97 (95% CI 0.64-1.47)]. Overall response rate was greater with tislelizumab (20.0%) versus chemotherapy (11.3%), with more durable response (median duration of response: 5.1 versus 2.1 months). Tislelizumab had a favorable safety profile versus chemotherapy, with fewer patients experiencing ≥grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (13.0% versus 51.0%). Those on tislelizumab experienced less deterioration in health-related quality of life, physical functioning, and/or disease- and treatment-related symptoms (i.e. fatigue, pain, and eating problems) as compared to those on chemotherapy, per the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and QLQ-OES18 scores. CONCLUSIONS As a 2L therapy for advanced/metastatic ESCC, tislelizumab improved OS and had a favorable safety profile as compared to chemotherapy in European/North American ESCC patients in the randomized phase III RATIONALE-302 study.

Abstract
Cuproptosis is a recently reported new mode of programmed cell death which might be a potential co-pathogenesis of three kinds of primary cardiomyopathy. However, no investigation has reported a clear relevance between primary cardiomyopathy and cuproptosis. In this study, the differential cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) shared by three kinds of primary cardiomyopathy were identified in training sets. As a result, four CRGs shared by three kinds of primary cardiomyopathy were acquired and they were mainly related to biological processes such as cell death and immuno-inflammatory response through differential analysis, correlation analysis, GSEA, GSVA and immune cell infiltration analysis. Then, three key CRGs (K-CRGs) with high diagnostic value were identified by LASSO regression. The results of nomogram, machine learning, ROC analysis, calibration curve and decision curve indicated that the K-CRGs exhibited outstanding performance in the diagnosis of three kinds of primary cardiomyopathy. After that, in each disease, two molecular subtypes clusters were distinguished. There were many differences between different clusters in the biological processes associated with cell death and immunoinflammation and K-CRGs had excellent molecular subtype identification efficacy. Eventually, results from validation datasets and in vitro experiments verified the role of K-CRGs in diagnosis of primary cardiomyopathy, identification of primary cardiomyopathic molecular subtypes and pathogenesis of cuproptosis. In conclusion, this study found that cuproptosis might be the potential common pathogenesis of three kinds of primary cardiomyopathy and K-CRGs might be promising biomarkers for the diagnosis and molecular subtypes identification of primary cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) has enhanced RNA analysis in tissue biopsies, but interpreting these data is challenging without expert input. We present Automated Tissue Alignment and Traversal (ATAT), a novel computational framework designed to enhance ST analysis in the context of multiple and complex tissue architectures and morphologies, such as those found in biopsies of the gastrointestinal tract. ATAT utilizes self-supervised contrastive learning on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained images to automate the alignment and traversal of ST data. This approach addresses a critical gap in current ST analysis methodologies, which rely heavily on manual annotation and pathologist expertise to delineate regions of interest for accurate gene expression modeling. Our framework not only streamlines the alignment of multiple ST samples, but also demonstrates robustness in modeling gene expression transitions across specific regions. Additionally, we highlight the ability of ATAT to traverse complex tissue topologies in real-world cases from various individuals and conditions. Our method successfully elucidates differences in immune infiltration patterns across the intestinal wall, enabling the modeling of transcriptional changes across histological layers. We show that ATAT achieves comparable performance to the state-of-the-art method, while alleviating the burden of manual annotation and enabling alignment of tissue samples with complex morphologies.

Abstract
The study was aimed to analyze the seasonal pollen allergen spectrum of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) in Nanchang city, and to provide evidence for improving the clinical diagnosis, treatment, prevention and epidemiology of seasonal AR. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the results of skin prick test (SPT) among 1 752 patients with AR in outpatient at Department of Otolaryngology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from September 2020 to August 2021 (a total of 1 069 males and 683 females, age ranged from 2 to 84 years old). SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the positive rates of main allergens and their differences in gender, age, and month of visit. Differences among groups were compared by student t test, Wilcox rank sum test, or χ2 test. The results showed that among 1 752 SPT-positive patients, the number of simple seasonal AR and the number of perennial combined seasonal AR were 102 (5.82%) and 281 (16.04%), respectively. There was no significant difference between male and female patients in positive seasonal pollen allergens (χ2=2.181, P>0.05), but the positive rate of indoor seasonal pollen allergens in males was higher than that in females (χ2=7.901, P<0.05). The seasonal pollen allergens ranking top 5 of the positive rates were willow (6.62%, 116/1 752), humulus scandens (5.71%, 100/1 752), rape (5.54%, 97/1 752), grey pigweed (4.62%, 81/1 752) and birch (3.60%, 63/1 752). The positive rates of indoor and seasonal pollen allergens increased first and then decreased in different age groups, and the highest positive rates of seasonal pollen allergens were in the age group of 31-40 years old, with statistical significance compared with other groups (χ2=61.269, P<0.05). The seasonal allergen positive rate showed two peaks in time: March to May and September to November. The positive rate of pollen in spring was 60.27% (132/219), which was significantly higher than that in autumn (39.73%,87/219) (χ2=9.247, P<0.05). The positive rate of pollen combination in spring and autumn was 68.29% (112/164), which was significantly higher than that in spring and autumn alone (18.9%,31/164) and (12.8%, 21/164) (χ2=14.731, P<0.05). In summary, pollen allergy in Nanchang City cannot be ignored, accounting for more than 20% of the total number of AR. The incidence of seasonal AR in Nanchang City showed two peaks (March to May and September to November). The common allergens for seasonal AR in Nanchang City were willow, humulus scandens, rape, grey chenopods and birch.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence and related factors of chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) in elderly patients after thoracoscopic surgery. Methods: A total of 463 elderly patients (aged≥60 years) who underwent elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery from November 2020 to May 2021 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital were prospectively recruited. Among them, 283 were males and 180 were females, with an average age of (66.6±4.8) years. Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) was assessed by telephone at 6 months after surgery, and then the patients with CNP were screened using the ID-pain scale. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors for CNP in elderly patients after thoracoscopic surgery. Results: The incidence of CPSP was 41.9% (194/463), and the incidence of CNP was 18.8% (87/463). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that incision number<3 (OR=0.385, 95%CI: 0.156-0.949, P=0.038) and intraoperative N2O inhalation (OR=0.506, 95%CI: 0.304-0.842, P=0.009) were protective factors for CNP in elderly patients after thoracoscopic surgery, but high numeric rating scale (NRS) score on the first day after surgery (OR=1.180, 95%CI: 1.056-1.318, P=0.003) was a risk factor. Conclusions: The incidence of CNP in elderly patients after thoracoscopic surgery is 18.8%. Incision number<3 and intraoperative N2O inhalation are protective factors for CNP, but high NRS score on the first day after surgery is a risk factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the development of an aging sociality, aging-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, are dramatically increasing. To find small molecules from natural products that can prevent the aging of human beings and the occurrence of these diseases, we used the lifespan assay of yeast as a bioassay system to screen an antiaging substance. Isoquercitrin (IQ), an antiaging substance, was isolated from Apocynum venetum L., an herbal tea commonly consumed in Xinjiang, China. AIM OF THE STUDY In the present study, we utilized molecular-biology technology to clarify the mechanism of action of IQ. METHODS The replicative lifespans of K6001 yeasts and the chronological lifespans of YOM36 yeasts were used to screen and confirm the antiaging effect of IQ. Furthermore, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) assay, the survival assay of yeast under stresses, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting analyses, the replicative-lifespan assay of mutants, such as Δsod1, Δsod2, Δgpx, Δcat, Δskn7, Δuth1, Δatg32, Δatg2, and Δrim15 of K6001, autophagy flux analysis, and a lifespan assay of K6001 yeast after giving a mitophagy inhibitor and activator were performed. RESULTS IQ extended the replicative lifespans of the K6001 yeasts and the chronological lifespans of the YOM36 yeasts. Furthermore, the reactive nitrogen species (RNS) showed no change during the growth phase but significantly decreased in the stationary phase after treatment with IQ. The survival rates of the yeasts under oxidative- and thermal-stress conditions improved upon IQ treatment, and thermal stress was alleviated by the increasing superoxide dismutase (Sod) activity. Additionally, IQ decreased the ROS and MDA of the yeast while increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. However, it could not prolong the replicative lifespans of Δsod1, Δsod2, Δgpx, Δcat, Δskn7, and Δuth1 of K6001. IQ significantly increased autophagy and mitophagy induction, the presence of free green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the cytoplasm, and ubiquitination in the mitochondria of the YOM38 yeasts at the protein level. IQ did not prolong the replicative lifespans of Δatg2 and Δatg32 of K6001. Moreover, IQ treatment led to a decrease in Sch9 at the protein level and an increase in the nuclear translocation of Rim15 and Msn2. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that the Sch9/Rim15/Msn signaling pathway, as well as antioxidative stress, anti-thermal stress, and autophagy, were involved in the antiaging effects of IQ in the yeasts.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of envafolimab monotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: This open-label, multicenter phase I trial included dose escalation and dose expansion phases. In the dose escalation phase, patients received subcutaneous 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 or 10.0 mg/kg envafolimab once weekly (QW) following a modified "3+ 3" design. The dose expansion phase was performed in the 2.5 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg (QW) dose cohorts. Results: At November 25, 2019, a total of 287 patients received envafolimab treatment. During the dose escalation phase, no dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) was observed. In all dose cohorts, drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) for all grades occurred in 75.3% of patients, and grade 3 or 4 occurred in 20.6% of patients. The incidence of immune-related adverse reactions (irAE) was 24.0% for all grades, the most common irAEs (≥2%) included hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, immune-associated hepatitis and rash. The incidence of injection site reactions was low (3.8%), all of which were grades 1-2. Among the 216 efficacy evaluable patients, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 11.6% and 43.1%, respectively. Median duration of response was 49.1 weeks (95% CI: 24.0, 49.3). Pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure to envafolimab is proportional to dose and median time to maximum plasma concentration is 72-120 hours based on the PK results from the dose escalation phase of the study. Conclusion: Subcutaneous envafolimab has a favorable safety and promising preliminary anti-tumor activity in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors.

Abstract
Background It is important for anesthesiologists to leave good impressions and build rapport with patients during preoperative visits. However, patient preferences for anesthesiologist attire have not been well studied in China. Purpose To characterize patient perceptions of anesthesiologist attire during preoperative visits. Patients and Methods In this cross-sectional survey, we included adult patients who underwent elective operations in various surgical departments. We presented photographs of both male and female models wearing six combinations of attire (formal in a white coat buttoned, formal in a white coat unbuttoned, casual in a white coat buttoned, casual in a white coat unbuttoned, scrubs in a white coat buttoned, and scrubs in a coat of the same green color buttoned) in a randomized sequence. Participants were asked to rate each attire combination in five domains, including professionalism, experience, attitude, approachability, and caring. Results Of the 541 surveys distributed, 516 (95.4%) were completed and included in the analysis. The majority of respondents were female [389 (75.4%)] and aged 31-45 years [234 (45.3%)]. The combination of scrubs in a buttoned coat of the same color had the highest composite rating score [median (interquartile range): 50 (45, 50), adjusted P<0.001 compared with the other five combinations]. There was no significant difference in preference for standardized disposable or personalized cloth operating caps. Respondents' age was independently associated with the perceived importance of anesthesiologist attire (46-60 years vs 18-35 years: odds ratio 2.17, 95% confidence interval 1.12-4.18, P=0.021). Conclusion Patients prefer anesthesiologists wearing scrubs in coats of the same color. Standardizing anesthesiologist attire based on these findings may improve patient satisfaction.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Additional irinotecan can increase the pCR rate from 15% to 30% compared with capecitabine-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer, while more acute diarrhea was induced and predictors of diarrhea have yet to be fully elucidated. In this analysis, we report the incidence of and factors associated with grade 3+ acute diarrhea in LARC patients treated with the CaplriRT regimen in the CinClare trial. MATERIALS/METHODS We identified the dosimetric markers with a lasso-Cox risk scoring model tested on CaplriRT group patients in the CinClare trial at our institution from 2015 to 2017 (CinClare, NCT02605265), and then independently validated according to a predefined protocol in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation with capecitabine and irinotecan from 2019 to 2022 (NCT05688033). Clinical documentation and patient-reported outcomes were reviewed to determine grade 3+ acute diarrhea events. RESULTS A total of 116 patients from Cinclare trial treated with CaplriRT regimen were used as a training cohort to obtain dosimetric prediction model and 168 patients were used for independent validation. The majority received 50 Gray (Gy) in 25 fractions with concurrent capecitabine and irinotecan. Median number of concurrent chemotherapy cycles received was 4 (IQR: 3-4). Seventeen (23.6%) patients treated with the CaplriRT regimen in the CinClare trial experienced grade 3+ acute diarrhea. Dosimetric predictors of acute diarrhea included peritoneal space volume receiving 25 Gy or greater (V25Gy). The single multivariate Cox regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the model had good predictive ability (p<0.05). It was also validated using the validation cohort. Patients with peritoneal space V25Gy>950 cm3 were associated with a higher risk of 3+ acute diarrhea compared with those without constraints of V25Gy (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Peritoneal space V25Gy as an important predictor of acute diarrhea during capecitabine and irinotecan neoadjuvant chemoradiation treatment. Peritoneal space V25Gy < 950 cm3 may reduce acute diarrhea toxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) High-resolution (HR) images are important in precision radiation oncology. However, acquiring HR volumetric CT and MRI images is often time consuming; also, the resolution in some direction(s) (e.g., z-direction in the case of CT) is often limited by imaging hardware or fundamental imaging principle. Super-resolution (SR) imaging, i.e., the low-resolution (LR) to HR image transformation, is widely used to improve image resolution. Data-driven deep learning (DL) methods have achieved great success in SR imaging, yet they can hardly be applied to medical imaging as they require large amount of LR-HR image pairs to train the model. We therefore propose a reference-free DL method to increase resolutions of volumetric medical images in an efficient way. MATERIALS/METHODS We propose a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE)-based implicit neural representation (INR) network for SR imaging. The INR network aims to represent an image as a continuous function parameterized by a coordinate-based multi-layer perceptron. The INR network takes image coordinates as input and outputs corresponding pixel intensities. To train the network without using any HR images, we use a MLE framework to model LR observations' statistics and their relation to the latent HR image. The predicted HR image from the INR's output is transformed to LR images based on the MLE, and the network parameters are then optimized by minimizing the distance between the transformed LR images and actual LR observations. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method on CT and MRI images for 2x, 4x, and 8x SR using only one or two LR image(s). The performance is compared with a conventional SR method named plain MLE, in terms of visual quality and numerical qualities of PSNR and SSIM. RESULTS Our method outperformed the plain MLE method in the experiment. Table 1 reports the numerical improvements of our method over the compared plain MLE method. For 2x SR with a single LR image, our method achieved significant improvements in both PSNR and SSIM. When using two LR images, the better structural restoration capability of our method became more obvious with higher SR magnifications, as indicated by the increased SSIM differences. Better noise suppression capability of our method is observed in all our studies, as indicated by the PSNR values. In visual quality evaluation, we observed sharper image details with less noise in SR images generated by the proposed method, compared with the plain MLE method. CONCLUSION The proposed novel reference-free DL method can efficiently provide high-quality HR images with only one or two LR images for CT and MRI imaging. This method can be easily generalized to many other radiation therapy related applications without the requirement for HR reference images.

Abstract
Spinal ultrasonography has increasingly been used to image axial structures from the cervical to sacral region in recent years. In this work, we propose a comprehensive, systematic cervical scanning protocol that we refined as a route map, especially for beginners, to facilitate teaching, learning, diagnosis, and treatment in clinical pain practice. As a simple and clear tool to demonstrate the scanning protocol, the route map is delineated with rectangles, lines, and arrows. The rectangles represent the positions of the transducer, the arrows indicate route directions, and the lines show the routes of transducer movement. In this article, we describe cervical spinal ultrasonography to illustrate the route map interpretation, scanning protocol and target anatomical structures in detail. We believe that this comprehensive, clear, systematic, and portable route map will be beneficial for inexperienced pain clinicians and ultrasound beginners.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) This study aimed to identify factors influencing axillary pathological complete response (pCR) and to develop a predictive nomogram to evaluate axillary pCR rate in breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 2368 patients who received NAC and mastectomy between 2000 and 2014 from 12 grade A tertiary hospitals in China were analyzed retrospectively. The patients treated in three cancer hospitals (training set, n = 1629) were used to construct the nomogram based on multivariate logistic regression analyses. The nomograph was validated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curve in patients from 9 other general hospitals (validation set, n = 739). RESULTS The nomogram incorporated seven predicting factors including NACT cycles, response to NACT, clinical T stage, clinical N stage, grade, LVI, and molecular subtype. The AUC for the training set and validation set were 0.762 and 0.802, respectively. In addition, the calibration curve also showed good agreement between the nomogram-based predictions and the actual observations. CONCLUSION A nomogram was established to predict the status of axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients after NAC. The predictive model performed well both in the training set and external validation set.

Abstract
Background At present, the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has not been fully elucidated, and the diagnosis and treatment face great challenges. Cuproptosis is a novel cell death pattern that might be involved in the development of atherosclerosis. However, no research has reported the correlation between cuproptosis and atherosclerosis. Methods The differential cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) between atherosclerosis group and control group (A-CRGs) were discovered via differential expression analysis. The correlation analysis, PPI network analysis, GO, KEGG and GSEA analysis were performed to investigate the function of A-CRGs. The differences of biological function between atherosclerosis group and control group were investigated via immune infiltration analysis and GSVA. The LASSO regression, nomogram and machine learning models were constructed to predict atherosclerosis risk. The atherosclerosis molecular subtypes clusters were discovered via unsupervised cluster analysis. Subsequently, we used the above research methods to analyze the differential CRGs between clusters (M-CRGs) and evaluate the molecular subtypes identification performance of M-CRGs. Finally, we verified the diagnostic value for atherosclerosis and role in cuproptosis of these CRGs through the validation set and in vitro experiments. Results Five A-CRGs were identified and they were mainly related to the biological function of copper ion metabolism and immune inflammatory response. The diagnostic models and nomogram of atherosclerosis based on 5 A-CRGs indicated that these genes had well diagnostic value. A total of two molecular subtypes clusters were obtained in the atherosclerosis group. There were many differences in biological functions between these two molecular subtypes clusters, such as mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and primary immunodeficiency. In addition, 3 M-CRGs were identified in the 2 clusters. Machine learning models and nomogram constructed based on M-CRGs showed that these genes had well molecular subtypes identification efficacy. In the end, the results of in vitro experiment and validation set confirmed the diagnostic value for atherosclerosis and role in cuproptosis of these genes. Conclusion The cuproptosis may be a potential pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and CRGs may be promising markers for the diagnosis and molecular subtypes identification of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To reconstruct volumetric MRI from orthogonal cine acquisition aided by sparse priors of 2 static 3D MRI through implicit neural representation (NeRP) learning, with the goal of eliminating large-scale training datasets for data-driven sparse MRI reconstruction and supporting clinical workflow of real time 3D motion tracking during MR-guided radiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS A multi-layer perceptron network was trained to learn the NeRP of a patient-specific MRI dataset, where the network takes 4D data coordinates of voxel locations and motion states as inputs and outputs corresponding voxel intensities. By first learning the NeRP of 2 static 3D MRI with different breathing motion states, prior knowledge of patient breathing motion was embedded into network weights through optimization. The prior knowledge was then augmented from 2 to 31 motion states by querying the optimized network at interpolated/extrapolated motion state coordinates. Starting from the prior-augmented network as an initialization point, the network was further trained using sparse samples of 2 orthogonal cine slices. The final volumetric reconstruction was obtained by querying the trained network at desired 3D spatial locations. We evaluated the proposed method using 5-minute volumetric MRI time series with 340 ms temporal resolution collected from 7 liver carcinoma patients. The time series was acquired using golden-angle radial MRI sequence and reconstructed through retrospective sorting. Two MRI with inhale and exhale states respectively were selected from the first 30 sec of the time series for prior embedding and augmentation. The remaining 4.5-min time series was used for volumetric reconstruction evaluation, where we retrospectively subsampled each MRI to 2 orthogonal slices and compared network-reconstructed images to ground truth images in terms of image quality and the capability of supporting 3D target motion tracking. RESULTS Across the 7 patients evaluated, the peak signal to noise ratio between model reconstruction and ground truth was 54.66 ± 6.16 dB and the structural similarity index measure was 0.99 ± 0.01. Gross tumor volume (GTV) contours estimated by deforming a reference state MRI to model-reconstructed and ground truth MRI showed good consistency. The 95-percentile Hausdorff distance between GTV contours was 1.89 ± 1.13 mm, which is less than the voxel dimension. The mean GTV centroid position difference between ground truth and model estimation was less than 1 mm in all 3 orthogonal directions. CONCLUSION Volumetric MRI from orthogonal cine acquisition with sparse priors is feasible by modeling prior knowledge through implicit neural representation learning. The model-reconstructed images showed sufficient accuracy in supporting 3D motion tracking of abdominal targets. By eliminating the need for large scale training datasets, the method promises to enable clinical implementation of 3D motion tracking for precision radiation therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Recurrence risk score model was established to distinguish the recurrent risk of patients with pathologic nodal negative (ypN0) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and mastectomy and determine the impact of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT). MATERIALS/METHODS This multicenter retrospective study reviewed 766 patients who underwent mastectomy and NACT with ypN0 from 2000 to 2014. Recurrent risk score model was assigned proportionally to the relative contribution of independent prognostic factors in the multivariate Cox model of disease-free survival (DFS). Decision tree analysis was conducted to determine two optimal cutoff points for stratification. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 74 months. The 5-year locoregional control (LRC), DFS, and overall survival (OS) rates for the entire group were 96.5%, 89.1% and 95.3%, respectively. 353 (46.1%) patients received PMRT and 413 (53.9%) patients did not. Patients with PMRT have more high-risk factors, including age <40 years, clinical stage III, grade III, or ER and PR negative. Chest wall and regional nodal region were irradiated in 307 (87.0%) and chest wall only in 46 (13.0%). The median radiation dose was 50 Gy (range: 36-60 Gy) in 25 fractions (range: 15-30 fractions). There were no significant differences between the PMRT and No-PMRT groups in the LRC, DFS and OS rates. Recurrent risk score model consisted of five factors and used a range of zero to eleven scoring points: age <40 years and clinical N1 stage for one point; clinical N2, NACT ≥4 cycles, lymphovascular invasion and ypT1-2 for two points; ypT3-4 for four points. 456 (59.5%) patients scoring zero to four points, 188 (24.5%) scoring five points and 122 (15.9%) scoring six to eleven points were assigned to the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk group. LRC, DFS and OS rates in three risk groups were significantly distinct from each other (5yr-LRC: 98.6% vs. 95.5% vs. 89.8%, p < .001; 5yr-DFS: 94.4% vs. 87.4% vs. 71.5%, p < .001; 5yr-OS: 97.6% vs. 93.2% vs. 90.0%, p < .001). PMRT had no impact on the LRC, DFS and OS rates in either low-, intermediate-, or high-risk group. CONCLUSION The recurrence risk score model can effectively distinguish patients with different recurrent risk stratification. PMRT in patients with ypN0 after NAC and mastectomy cannot improve LRC, DFS or OS. Table 1. Survival outcomes and comparison between PMRT and No-PMRT arms in different groups.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the safety and effectiveness of thin struct bare stents for the treatment of spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SIDSMA). Methods: The data of 32 patients admitted to First Hospital of Jiaxing (20 cases) and Jinling Hospital (12 cases) with SIDSMA from January 2016 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 27 males and 5 females, aging (54.8±9.4) years (range: 36 to 75 years). All patients were treated with thin struct bare stents. Controllable spring coils were used to fulfill the false lumen in 2 cases. Symptoms, vascular remodeling pattern at the SIDSMA lesion, and patency of the stents were observed during follow-up. Results: The surgical success rate was 100%. According to the length of the lesions and stents, the number of stents implanted was 1 in 17 cases, 2 in 11 cases and 3 in 4 cases. The angiography showed that blood flow in the stent was smooth and that the false lumen disappeared or weakened. The numerical rating scale for abdominal pain decreased from 6.1±1.5 (range: 4 to 10) preoperatively to 1.0 (1.0) (range: 0 to 3) 1 hour postoperatively (W=528, P<0.01). The compression rate of the true lumen of the superior mesenteric artery decreased from (92.3±6.7)% (range: 25% to 94%) preoperatively to 0.8 (1.2)% (range: 0 to 3.2%) 1 month postoperatively (W=528, P<0.01). The primary patency rate of CT angiography at 1 month postoperatively was 100%. The vascular remodeling rate was (92.3±6.7)% (range: 80% to 100%). All patients were followed for (46.3±17.0) months (range: 24 to 76 months). The cumulative patency rates in 1, 2 and 5 years were all 100%. Conclusion: The use of thin struct bare stents for SIDSMA is safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Commercial Pt/C (Com. Pt/C) electrocatalysts are considered optimal for oxygen reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions (ORR and HER). However, their high Pt content and poor stability restrict their large-scale application. In this study, photocatalytic synthesis was used to reduce ultrafine Pt nanoparticles in-situ on a composite support of TiO2 -decorated nitrogen-doped carbon (TiO2 -NC). The nitrogen-doped carbon had a large surface area and electronic effects that ensured the uniform dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles to form a highly photoactive and stable support. TiO2 -NC served as a composite support that enhanced the dispersibility and stability of ultrafine Pt electrocatalyst, owing to the presence of N sites and the strong metal-support interaction. Relative to Com. Pt/C, the as-obtained Pt/TiO2 -NC had positive shifts of 44 and 10 mV in the ORR half-wave potential and HER overpotential at -10 mA cm-2 , respectively. After an accelerated durability test, Pt/TiO2 -NC had lower losses in electrochemical specific area (0.7 %) and electrocatalytic activity (0 mV shift) than Com. Pt/C (25.6 %, 22 mV shift). These results indicate that the developed strategy enabled the facile synthesis and stabilization of ultrafine Pt nanoparticles, which improved the utilization efficiency and long-term stability of Pt-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With COVID-19 bringing persistent impact on the worldwide population, perioperative management after SARS-CoV-2 infection needs to be revisited in the new period of different circulating coronavirus variants, vaccination status, increased reinfection rate and new disease control policies. This study aims to explore the association between time to surgery after COVID-19 diagnosis and the risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a single-centre ambispective cohort study. Patients with preoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection who require inpatient surgical intervention from 1 December 2022 to 28 February 2023 will be included. Baseline assessment will include the time interval between preoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection and surgery, COVID-19 diagnosis and symptoms, vaccination status and routine preoperative evaluations. The primary outcome will be postoperative composite complications within 30 days after surgery. Association between post-COVID-19 interval and the outcomes will be explored using logistic regression after adjusting for confounding variables. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (IRB K3570). We aim to publish and disseminate the findings in peer-reviewed journals, scientific conferences and on social media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05689840.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety of simultaneous administration of quadrivalent influenza split virion vaccine and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in adults aged 60 years and older. Methods: From November 2021 to May 2022, eligible participants aged 60 years and older were recruited in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, China, and a total of 2 461 participants were ultimately enrolled in this study. Each participant simultaneously received one dose of quadrivalent influenza split virion vaccine and one dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. The safety was observed within 28 days after vaccination. Safety information was collected through voluntary reporting and regular follow-ups. Results: All 2 461 participants completed the simultaneous administration of both vaccines and the safety follow-ups for 28 days after vaccination. The mean age of the participants was (70.66±6.18) years, with 54.61% (1 344) being male, and all participants were Han Chinese residents. About 22.51% (554) of the participants had underlying medical conditions. The overall incidence of adverse reactions within 0-28 days after simultaneous vaccination was 2.07% (51/2 461), mainly consisting of Grade 1 adverse reactions [1.83% (45/2 461)], with no reports of Grade 4 or higher adverse reactions or vaccine-related serious adverse events. The incidence of local adverse reactions was 0.98% (24/2 461), primarily presenting as pain at the injection site [0.93% (23/2 461)]. The incidence of systemic adverse reactions was 1.42% (35/2 461), with fever [0.85% (21/2 461)] being the main symptom. In the group with underlying medical conditions and the healthy group, their overall incidence of adverse reactions was 2.53% (14/554) and 1.94% (37/1 907), respectively. The incidence of local adverse reactions in the two groups was 1.62% (9/554) and 0.79% (15/1 907), respectively, and the incidence of systemic adverse reactions was 1.44% (8/554) and 1.42% (27/1 907), respectively, with no statistically significant differences between them (all P>0.05). Conclusion: It is safe for adults aged 60 years and older to receive quadrivalent influenza split virion vaccine and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine at the same time.

Abstract
Photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) is a revolutionary technology in decades in the field of CT. Its potential benefits in lowering noise, dose reduction, and material-specific imaging enable completely new clinical applications. Spectral reconstruction of basis material maps requires knowledge of the x-ray spectrum and the spectral response calibration of the detector. However, spectrum estimation errors caused by inaccurate energy threshold calibration will degrade the accuracy of the reconstructions. Existing spectrum estimation methods are not adequately modeled for bias in energy threshold position. Besides, directly solving a big number of variables of the pixel-wise effective spectra for PCD is an ill-conditioned problem so that stable solution is hardly achievable. In this paper, we assumed the effective spectra variation across the detector mainly comes from the calibration error in the energy threshold positions as well as the intrinsic threshold distribution. We propose a joint reconstruction and spectrum refinement algorithm (JoSR) that introduces an innovative spectrum model based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to significantly reduce the dimension of unknowns so that makes the problem well-conditioned. The polychromatic spectral imaging model and the basis material decomposition method together form an optimization objective. The proximal regularized block coordinate descent algorithm is adopted to deal with the non-convex optimization problem to ensure convergence. Simulation studies and experiments on a laboratory PCD-CT system validated the proposed JoSR method. The results demonstrate its advantages on image quality and quantitative accuracy over other state-of-the-art methods in the field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Naples prognostic score (NPS) is a newly developed indicator of inflammation and nutritional status. However, its role in predicting the prognosis of lung cancer is unclear. We hereby reviewed the association between NPS and outcomes of lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched up to 15th April 2023 for studies assessing the predictive role of NPS for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in lung cancer. RESULTS Seven studies were included. All were from China. One study was on small cell lung cancer, while the rest were on non-small cell lung cancer. Meta-analysis demonstrated that a high NPS score was a significant predictor of OS (HR: 3.21 95% CI: 2.27, 4.54 I2=62%) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR: 3.81 95% CI: 2.57, 5.64 I2=65%) in lung cancer patients. Subgroup analysis based on different NPS reference values also showed similar results. The results remained significant on sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS The NPS is a strong and independent prognostic indicator of lung cancer patients. Higher NPS scores are associated with worse OS and DFS. Further studies from non-Chinese populations are needed to supplement the results.

Abstract
The Claudin-15 (CLDN15) channel is important for nutrient, electrolyte, and water transport in the gastrointestinal tract. We used cell culture studies and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate its structure and permeability mechanisms. We provide a model that underscores the crucial role of the D55 residue in the CLDN15 selectivity filter, which interacts with permeating cations. Our studies demonstrated the mechanisms whereby the size and charge of the D55 residue influence paracellular permeability. By altering D55 to larger, negatively charged glutamic acid (E) or similarly sized neutral asparagine (N), we observed changes in pore size and selectivity, respectively. D55E mutation decreased pore size, favoring small ion permeability without affecting charge selectivity, while D55N mutation led to reduced charge selectivity without markedly altering size selectivity. These findings shed light on the complex interplay of size and charge selectivity of CLDN15 channels. This knowledge can inform the development of strategies to modulate the function of CLDN15 and similar channels, which has implications for tight junction modulation in health and disease.

Abstract
The patient had received five courses of anti-tuberculosis treatment for recurrent tuberculosis. The drug sensitivity test results of the first three courses showed drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis, and the fourth diagnosis was rifampin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB), complicated by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type Ⅱ respiratory failure, pulmonary heart disease, and heart failure (grade Ⅲ). The patient stopped taking the anti-tuberculosis drugs on his own in the eighth month of receiving the resistant treatment. After admission, the symptoms improved temporarily after receiving oxygen therapy, anti-infection, and anti-tuberculosis treatment. Because of hemoptysis, the patient underwent arterial embolization by catheterization, but a large amount of hemoptysis occurred shortly thereafter. Emergency left total lung resection and gauze packing for hemostasis were performed. After surgery, the patient's vital signs were maintained with mechanical ventilation and vasopressors. Forty-eight hours after surgery, the gauze was removed, and the patient underwent tracheotomy, enteral nutrition, and anti-tuberculosis treatment. After discharge, the patient underwent rehabilitative exercise and anti-resistant tuberculosis therapy. The patient's condition remained stable for more than six months of follow-up.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated with anxiety or depression is increasing year by year. However, many anti-anxiety drugs or antidepressants have a certain degree of adverse reactions and are not easily accepted by patients. Xinkeshu (XKS), as a proprietary Chinese patent medicine with "psycho-cardiology" effect, is one of the commonly used drugs in the treatment of CHD complicated with anxiety or depression in China. AIM OF THE STUDY To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of XKS for CHD complicated with anxiety or depression. METHODS Nine different electronic databases were independently searched to include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of XKS for CHD complicated with anxiety or depression published from inception to February 2022, and the methodological quality was evaluated using the bias risk assessment tool from Cochrane Handbook 5.0 and the modified Jadad scale. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 16.0 software. The GRADE Profiler 3.6.1 and TSA 0.9.5.10 beta were adopted to evaluate the certainty and conclusiveness of the evidence. RESULTS A total of 18 RCTs involving 1907 subjects were included. There were 956 subjects in the XKS group and 951 subjects in the control group. Baseline conditions were consistent and comparable between the groups. Compared with single-use western medicine (WM), XKS combined with WM significantly reduced scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) [Mean difference (MD) = -7.60, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) (-10.37, -4.83), P < 0.000 01], Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) [MD = -10.05, 95% CI (-12.70, -7.41), P < 0.000 01], Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) [MD = -6.74, 95% CI (-11.58, -1.90), P = 0.006], and Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) [MD = -10.75, 95% CI (-17.05,-4.45), P = 0.000 8], as well as improved clinical effective rate [odds ratio (OR) = 4.24, 95% CI (2.47, 7.27), P < 0.000 01]. In terms of safety, 4 studies reported the adverse reactions in detail. The severity was mild and symptoms disappeared after treatment. CONCLUSION Current evidence indicates that XKS may be effective and safe in the treatment of patients with CHD complicated with anxiety or depression. Since the quality of the literature included in this study was generally low, there is an urgent need for more RCTs with high quality, low bias risk and sufficient sample size to validate our conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the effects of intermittent bolus paravertebral block on analgesia and recovery in open hepatectomy. METHODS Eighty 18-70 years old, American Society of Anesthesiologists level I-III patients scheduled for hepatectomy with a J-shaped subcostal incision were enrolled and randomized to receive either intermittent bolus paravertebral ropivacaine (0.5% loading, 0.2% infusion) or 0.9% saline infusion at 1:1 ratio (25 ml loading before surgery, 0.125 ml/kg/h bolus for postoperative 48 h). The primary outcome was set as postoperative 48 h cumulative intravenous morphine consumption recorded by a patient-controlled analgesic pump. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients in each group completed the study. The cumulative morphine consumptions were lower in the paravertebral block than control group at postoperative 24 (difference -10.5 mg, 95%CI -16 mg to -6 mg, P < 0.001) and 48 (difference -12 mg, 95%CI -19.5 mg to -5 mg, P = 0.001) hours. The pain numerical rating scales at rest were lower in the paravertebral block than control group at postoperative 4 h (difference -2, 95%CI -3 to -1, P < 0.001). The active pain numerical rating scales were lower in the paravertebral block than control group at postoperative 12 h (difference -1, 95%CI -2 to 0, P = 0.005). Three months postoperatively, the paravertebral block group had lower rates of hypoesthesia (OR 0.28, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.75, P = 0.009) and numbness (OR 0.26, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.88, P = 0.024) than the control group. CONCLUSIONS Intermittent bolus paravertebral block provided an opioid-sparing effect and enhanced recovery both in hospital and after discharge in patients undergoing hepatectomy.

Abstract
Patients with familial cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) inherit germline loss of function mutations and are susceptible to progressive development of brain lesions and neurological sequelae during their lifetime. To date, no homologous circulating molecules have been identified that can reflect the presence of germ line pathogenetic CCM mutations, either in animal models or patients. We hypothesize that homologous differentially expressed (DE) plasma miRNAs can reflect the CCM germline mutation in preclinical murine models and patients. Herein, homologous DE plasma miRNAs with mechanistic putative gene targets within the transcriptome of preclinical and human CCM lesions were identified. Several of these gene targets were additionally found to be associated with CCM-enriched pathways identified using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. DE miRNAs were also identified in familial-CCM patients who developed new brain lesions within the year following blood sample collection. The miRNome results were then validated in an independent cohort of human subjects with real-time-qPCR quantification, a technique facilitating plasma assays. Finally, a Bayesian-informed machine learning approach showed that a combination of plasma levels of miRNAs and circulating proteins improves the association with familial-CCM disease in human subjects to 95% accuracy. These findings act as an important proof of concept for the future development of translatable circulating biomarkers to be tested in preclinical studies and human trials aimed at monitoring and restoring gene function in CCM and other diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous studies have shown that there may be a positive correlation between serum uric acid levels and hyperthyroidism. However, the relationship between thyroid function and serum uric acid in healthy people is unclear. This study analyzed the relationship between impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity and serum uric acid levels, and presented them in quantitative form. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 4460 adults (male: 2300; female: 2160) who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2010. Parameters representing central sensitivity to thyroid hormones were calculated as: thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQIFT4), thyroid stimulating hormone index (TSHI), and total thyroxine (T4) resistance index (TT4RI); Peripheral sensitivity to thyroid hormone was evaluated by FT3/FT4 ratio. In addition, we have innovated total triiodothyronine (T3) resistance index (TT3RI) and TFQIFT3 indexes based on FT3 and TSH. Multiple linear regression models were used to evaluate the correlation between thyroid resistance index and serum uric acid, and the results were presented graphically as smooth curve fittings. RESULTS Higher levels of serum uric acid were associated with decreased sensitivity to thyroid hormones in euthyroid individuals. In conjunction with an increase in the thyroid hormone sensitivity index value, uric acid levels gradually increased as well. Furthermore, we found a segmented relationship between TT3RI and serum uric acid changes. The saturation and threshold analyses indicated that 18.85 was the turning point (logarithmic likelihood ratio test = 0.036). When TT3RI < 18.85, the relationship between serum uric acid and TT3RI was not significant [β(95% CI) 0.47 (- 0.05, 1.00), P = 0.077], but when TT3RI > 18.85, there was a significant rise in serum uric acid with an increase in TT3RI [β(95% CI) 3.94 (0.94, 6.95), P = 0.010]. A further finding of the interaction test was that impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity and uric acid changes vary among different age groups and BMI levels. CONCLUSIONS Decreased sensitivity to thyroid hormones was associated with high levels of serum uric acid in people with normal thyroid function. The interaction test shows that different age groups and BMI groups impact the association between impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity and serum uric acid. Furthermore, smooth curve fitting revealed a segmental relationship between TT3RI and serum uric acid levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) infection on IFNGR1 palmitoylation and biological behaviors of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells and the clinical implications. METHODS The expression levels of IFNGR1 protein in ESCC cell lines KYSE30 and KYSE70 were detected using Western blotting at 24 and 48 h after Pg infection, and 2-BP was used to detect IFNGR1 palmitoylation in the cells. KYSE70 cells with wild-type IFNGR1 (IFNGR1-WT cells) and with IFNGR1-C122A palmitoylation site mutation induced by site-specific mutagenesis (IFNGR1-C122A cells) were both infected with Pg, and the changes in palmitoylation of IFNGR1-C122A were analyzed using immunofluorescence and Click-iT assays. The changes in proliferation, migration and invasion ability of the infected cells were evaluated using plate cloning assay, scratch assay and Transwell assay, and IFNGR1 co-localization with lysosomal marker LAMP2 was dected using immunofluorescence assay. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect Pg infection and IFNGR1 protein expression in 50 ESCC tissues, and their correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of the patients was analyzed. RESULTS Pg infection down-regulated the protein expression of IFNGR1 in ESCC and promoted IFNGR1 palmitoylation at site 122. In IFNGR1-WT cells, Pg infection significantly enhanced cell proliferation, migration and invasion (P < 0.05). Similarly, Pg also significantly promoted proliferation, migration and invasion of IFNGR1-C122A cells, but to a lesser extent as compared with the wild-type cells (P < 0.05). Immunofluorescence assay showed that Pg and ZDHHC3 promoted IFNGR1 degradation within the lysosome. Immunohistochemical studies of the ESCC tissue samples showed a negative correlation between IFNGR1 and Pg expression, and a reduced IFNGR1 expression was correlated with a poorer survival outcome of the patient. CONCLUSION Pg infection enhances IFNGR1 palmitoylation to promote progression of ESCC, and elimination of Pg and inhibiting IFNGR1 palmitoylation may effectively control ESCC progression.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal malignancies of the female reproductive system. OC patients are usually diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of early diagnosis. The standard treatment for OC includes a combination of debulking surgery and platinum-taxane chemotherapy, while several targeted therapies have recently been approved for maintenance treatment. The vast majority of OC patients relapse with chemoresistant tumors after an initial response. Thus, there is an unmet clinical need to develop new therapeutic agents to overcome the chemoresistance of OC. The anti-parasite agent niclosamide (NA) has been repurposed as an anti-cancer agent and exerts potent anti-cancer activities in human cancers including OC. Here, we investigated whether NA could be repurposed as a therapeutic agent to overcome cisplatin-resistant (CR) in human OC cells. To this end, we first established two CR lines SKOV3CR and OVCAR8CR that exhibit the essential biological characteristics of cisplatin resistance in human cancer. We showed that NA inhibited cell proliferation, suppressed cell migration, and induced cell apoptosis in both CR lines at a low micromole range. Mechanistically, NA inhibited multiple cancer-related pathways including AP1, ELK/SRF, HIF1, and TCF/LEF, in SKOV3CR and OVCAR8CR cells. NA was further shown to effectively inhibit xenograft tumor growth of SKOV3CR cells. Collectively, our findings strongly suggest that NA may be repurposed as an efficacious agent to combat cisplatin resistance in chemoresistant human OC, and further clinical trials are highly warranted.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the accuracy of different corneal curvature parameters in assessing the corneal refractive status and tracking corneal power changes after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study tracked and recorded total corneal curvature parameters measured by different instruments before and three months after SMILE for myopia. These parameters, including total keratometry (TK) from the IOLMaster 700, total corneal refractive power (TCRP) from the Pentacam AXL, real keratometry (RK) from the CASIA 2, and corrected parameters calculated using the Haigis, Shammas, and Maloney methods, were compared with data obtained using the clinical history method (CHM). Surgically induced changes in TK, TCRP, and RK were analyzed and compared with those in spherical equivalent on the corneal plane (ΔSEco). Results: The study included 40 eyes (40 participants). After SMILE, the difference was smallest between TK [(0.08±0.38) D] and CHM values (P>0.05). However, TCRP, RK, KHaigis, KShammas, and KMaloney were significantly different from CHM data (P<0.05). The width of the 95% limits of agreement of TK (1.49 D) was narrowest, followed by that of RK (1.57 D). Pearson analysis showed that each parameter had a good correlation with CHM data. The differences between the changes in TK, TCRP and RK caused by surgery and ΔSEco were (0.03±0.39) D, (0.17±0.43) D, and (-0.19±0.46) D, respectively. The width of the 95% limits of agreement of ΔTK (1.54 D) was narrowest, and the correlation coefficient of ΔTK (0.951) was highest. Conclusion: The parameter TK of the IOLMaster 700 can provide accurate and objective corneal power evaluation after SMILE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), especially in the neck and shoulder region, is one of the most common chronic pain disorders worldwide. Dry needling (DN) and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) are the two effective methods for treating MPS. We aimed to compare the effects of DN and PRF in chronic neck and shoulder MPS patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a prospective, single-centre, randomised, controlled trial in a tertiary hospital. We plan to recruit 108 patients aged 18-70 years who are diagnosed with chronic MPS in the neck, shoulder and upper back regions and randomly allocate them to either the DN or PRF group at a 1:1 ratio. The DN group will receive ultrasound-guided intramuscular and interfascial DN 8-10 times per pain point or until local twitch responses are no longer elicited and 30 min of indwelling. The PRF group will receive ultrasound-guided intramuscular (0.9% saline 2 mL, 42℃, 2 Hz, 2 min) and interfascial (0.9% saline 5 mL, 42℃, 2 Hz, 2 min) PRF. Follow-up will be performed by the research assistant at 0, 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The primary outcome is the postoperative 6-month pain visual analogue score (0-100 mm). Secondary outcomes include pressure pain threshold measured by an algometer, Neck Disability Index, depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), anxiety (Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7), sleep status (Likert scale) and overall quality of life (36-Item Short Form Survey). Between-group comparisons will be analysed using either a non-parametric test or a mixed effects linear model. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study was approved by the medical ethics committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (JS-3399). All participants will give written informed consent before participation. The results from this study will be shared at conferences and disseminated in international journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05637047, Pre-results.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomarker potential of TIMP-2 in septic-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Healthy male rats (n=56, age 8-10 weeks, body weight 250-300 g) were randomized into 3 groups: controls (intact rats, n=6), sham-operated (SO, n=24), and sepsis model (cecum ligation and perforation, CLP, n=24). Thirty minutes before and 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery, blood samples were collected to measure serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and TIMP-2 and the kidneys were isolated for histopathological analysis and Western blotting. The key sepsis-related genes were screened through bioinformatics analysis. In 24 and 48 h after surgery, 2 rats in the SO group reached the diagnostic criteria of AKI (increased levels of serum creatinine and BUN). In the CLP group, serum creatinine in 6 h after the surgery was slightly higher than 30 min before the surgery, but this change did not meet the diagnostic criteria for AKI. In the CLP group, BUN was normal 6 h after the surgery, but increased after 12 h. In more than 50% rats of the CLP group, serum creatinine and BUN significantly increased 12 h after operation, so this can be diagnosed as AKI. In rats of the CLP group, plasma TIMP-2 was elevated 6 h after surgery and increased with time, suggesting that plasma TIMP-2 can be used as an early marker of AKI. Histological examination of the kidneys in this group revealed destruction of the renal tubular structure, swelling of renal tubular epithelium, the disappearance of brush edge and collapse of necrotic epithelial cells, etc., and the degree of damage increased with time. Immunohistochemistry showed that TIMP-2 was expressed in rats of the CLP group at all terms of the experiment. The expression of TIMP-2 and pyroptosis-related proteins (NLRP3, IL-1β, caspase-1, and GSDMD) in the CLP group was higher than in the SO group (p<0.05) and increased with time, suggesting that pyroptosis is involved in AKI. Thus, plasma TIMP-2 is sensitive indicator for the early detection of kidney injury and can be used as an early biomarker of AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative fluid management during major abdominal surgery has been controversial. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a critical complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We conducted a retrospective cohort study to analyze the impact of intraoperative fluid balance on the development of POPF. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 567 patients who underwent open pancreaticoduodenectomy, and the demographic, laboratory, and medical data were recorded. All patients were categorized into four groups according to quartiles of intraoperative fluid balance. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCSs) were used to analyze the relationship between intraoperative fluid balance and POPF. RESULTS The intraoperative fluid balance of all patients ranged from -8.47 to 13.56 mL/kg/h. A total of 108 patients reported POPF, and the incidence was 19.0%. After adjusting for potential confounders and using restricted cubic splines, the dose‒response relationship between intraoperative fluid balance and POPF was found to be statistically insignificant. The incidences of bile leakage, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, and delayed gastric emptying were 4.4%, 20.8%, and 14.8%, respectively. Intraoperative fluid balance was not associated with these abdominal complications. BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, preoperative blood glucose < 6 mmol/L, long surgery time, and lesions not located in the pancreas were independent risk factors for POPF. CONCLUSION The study did not find a significant association between intraoperative fluid balance and POPF. Well-designed multicenter studies are necessary to explore the association between intraoperative fluid balance and POPF.

Abstract
BackgroundThe risk of perioperative cardiac complications (PCCs) in patients living in high-altitude areas may increase with more adverse clinical outcomes due to the special geographical environment, which has not yet been studied. We aimed to determine the incidence and analyze risk factors for PCCs in adult patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery in the Tibet Autonomous Region.MethodsThis prospective cohort study enrolled resident patients from high-altitude areas receiving major noncardiac surgery in Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital in China. Perioperative clinical data were collected, and the patients were followed up until 30 days after surgery. The primary outcome was PCCs during the operation and within 30 days after the surgery. Logistic regression was used to build the prediction models for PCCs. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the discrimination. A prognostic nomogram was constructed to generate a numerical probability of PCCs for patients undergoing noncardiac surgery in high-altitude areas.ResultsAmong the 196 patients living in high-altitude areas involved in this study, 33 (16.8%) suffered PCCs perioperatively and within 30 days after surgery. Eight clinical factors were identified in the prediction model, including older age (P = 0.028), extremely high altitude above 4,000 m (P = 0.442), preoperative metabolic equivalent (MET) < 4 (P = 0.153), history of angina within 6 months (P = 0.037), history of great vascular disease (P = 0.073), increased preoperative high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (P = 0.072), intraoperative hypoxemia (P = 0.025) and operation time >3 h (P = 0.043). The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.766 (95% confidence interval: 0.785–0.697). The score calculated from the prognostic nomogram predicted the risk of PCCs in high-altitude areas.ConclusionThe incidence of PCCs in resident patients living in high-altitude areas who underwent noncardiac surgery was high, and the risk factors included older age, high altitude above 4,000 m, preoperative MET < 4, history of angina within 6 months, history of great vascular disease, increased preoperative hs-CRP, intraoperative hypoxemia, and operation time >3 h. The prognostic nomogram of this study could help to assess the PCCs for patients in high-attitude areas undergoing noncardiac surgery.Clinical Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04819698.
