Abstract
The limited lifespan of batteries is a challenge in the application of implantable electronic devices. Existing wireless power technologies such as ultrasound, near-infrared light and magnetic fields cannot charge devices implanted in deep tissues, resulting in energy attenuation through tissues and thermal generation. Herein, an ultra-low frequency magnetic energy focusing (ULFMEF) methodology was developed for the highly effective wireless powering of deep-tissue implantable devices. A portable transmitter was used to output the low-frequency magnetic field (<50 Hz), which remotely drives the synchronous rotation of a magnetic core integrated within the pellet-like implantable device, generating an internal rotating magnetic field to induce wireless electricity on the coupled coils of the device. The ULFMEF can achieve energy transfer across thick tissues (up to 20 cm) with excellent transferred power (4-15 mW) and non-heat effects in tissues, which is remarkably superior to existing wireless powering technologies. The ULFMEF is demonstrated to wirelessly power implantable micro-LED devices for optogenetic neuromodulation, and wirelessly charged an implantable battery for programmable electrical stimulation on the sciatic nerve. It also bypassed thick and tough protective shells to power the implanted devices. The ULFMEF thus offers a highly advanced methodology for the generation of wireless powered biodevices.

Abstract
Objective: To study the effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on the occurrence of liver damage, HBV reactivation (HBVr) and the influence of HBVr on the prognosis of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving systemic therapy. Methods: The clinical data of 403 patients with HBV-related HCC at the Department of Infectious Diseases, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University et al, from July 2018 to December 2020 were collected. The incidence of liver damage and HBVr during systematic therapy, and the influence of HBVr on survival prognosis were analyzed. Results: Of the 403 patients, 89.1% were male (n=359), with a median age of 51 years (51.5±12.1). Before propensity score matching (PSM), the proportion of patients with cirrhosis, TNM and advanced BCLC stage was higher in high HBV-DNA (baseline HBV-DNA>1000 U/ml, n=147) group comparing with the low HBV-DNA (baseline HBV DNA≤1000 u/ml, n=256) group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in baseline indexes between the two groups after PSM. In 290 patients after PSM, there was no significant difference in the incidence of liver damage and HBVr between high HBV-DNA group and low HBV-DNA group (P>0.05). Survival analysis was performed on 169 patients with survival data, the median overall survival (OS) was found to be 11.49 months (95%CI: 7.77-12.89) and 16.65 months (95%CI: 10.54-21.99, P=0.008) in the high and low HBV-DNA groups, respectively. And median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.41 months (95%CI: 5.06-8.67) and 10.55 months (95%CI: 6.72-13.54, P=0.038), respectively, with a statistically significant difference. There were no differences in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between patients with and without HBVr and those with or without liver damage (P>0.05). Conclusions: HBV-DNA levels above 1 000 U/ml before systemic therapy do not increase the risk of liver damage or HBVr during systemic therapy in patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma, and such patients can safely receive systemic therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical and laboratory characteristics of SF3B1 gene mutations in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) patients. Methods: The clinical data of 273 MPN patients who were diagnosed MPN and treated in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from November 2017 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 133 males and 140 females, with a median age M(Q1,Q3)of 56(46, 67) years. The molecular biology and cytogenetic characteristics were detected by second-generation sequencing (NGS) and R+G banding techniques, and the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with SF3B1 gene mutation were analyzed. Results: SF3B1 gene mutations were found in 13 patients (4.8%, 13/273).The types of SF3B1 mutations included missense (92.3%, 12/13) and nonsense mutations (7.7%, 1/13).Compared to the non-mutant cohort, patients in SF3B1 mutant cohort had older ages [68(51, 76) vs 56(45, 66)years,P=0.025], higher proportion of splenomegaly [46.2%(6/13) vs 15.8%(41/259),P=0.014]and secondary tumor [23.1%(3/13)vs 3.8%(10/260), P=0.018]with higher proportion of bone marrow blast [0.5%(0, 1.5%) vs 0(0, 0.5%),P=0.002] and lower hemoglobin[(104±36) vs (137±40) g/L,P=0.004] and hematocrit [31%(22%, 40%) vs 41%(35%, 52%),P=0.003]. All of the 10 patients in the SF3B1 mutant cohort whose ring sideroblast (RS) could be evaluated showed no RS formation. The overall survival, thrombosis-free survival and leukemia free survival of MPN patients in SF3B1 mutant cohort were 4.0 (2.0, 6.0), 2.0 (0.5, 4.5) and 4.0 (2.0, 6.0) years, respectively, while patients in the non-mutant cohort were 6.0 (3.0, 10.0), 5.0 (1.0, 8.0), 6.0 (3.0, 10.0) years, respectively, there were no statistical significance between two groups (Z=3.69, 1.66, 2.05, all P>0.05).The secondary tumor free survival of SF3B1 mutant cohort patients was 4.0 (2.0, 6.0) years, which was lower than that of non-mutant cohort patients [5.5 (3.0, 10.0) years, Z=18.18, P<0.001). Conclusions: MPN patients with SF3B1 gene mutations are older, more prone to splenomegaly and secondary tumors. They also have a higher proportion of bone marrow blast, lower hemoglobin and hematocrit, and show no RS formation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) is increasingly used in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESCC). Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-derived maximum tumor thickness (MTT) before and after standard NCRT for LA-ESCC indicates treatment response. However, the accuracy of predicting long-term survival remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the association between EUS-derived MTT pre- and post-NCRT and tumor shrinkage rate as well as long-term survival in patients with LA-ESCC receiving NCRT. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with LA-ESCC who underwent EUS examination pre- and post-NCRT from 2017 to 2021. MTT was measured using EUS. Tumor shrinkage rate was the ratio of the difference between pre- and post-MTT to pre-MTT. The most fitted cut-off value defining the EUS response was determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves were used to calculate overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Data from another center were also used for external validation testing. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 30.6 months.230 patients with LA-ESCC who underwent EUS pre- or post-NCRT were enrolled. Of the patients, 178 completed the first EUS pre-NCRT and obtained pre-MTT, 200 completed the re-examined EUS post-NCRT and obtained post-MTT, and 148 completed both EUS and achieved tumor shrinkage. In the whole group the 1-year and 3-year OS rates were 93.9% and 67.9%, and PFS rates were 77.7% and 54.1%, respectively. Thinner post-MTT (≤8.8 mm) and EUS-responders (tumor shrinkage rate≥52%) were independently associated with better OS. The result of EUS-respond was an independent prognostic factor could be confirmed in the external validation group. Among LA-ESCC patients with initial ultrasonic T2-3 staging and T4 staging, no statistically differences were observed between the responder and non-responder groups (P = 0.082; P = 0.190). CONCLUSION EUS-derived MTT and tumor shrinkage post-NCRT are independent prognostic factors for long-term survival and may be an alternative method for evaluating tumor response in patients with LA-ESCC after NCRT. Initial tumor infiltration beyond esophageal adventitial layer on ultrasound effect could not, however, predict the long-term prognosis.

Abstract
To extract behaviorally relevant information from our surroundings, our brains constantly integrate and compare incoming sensory information with those stored as memories. Cortico-hippocampal interactions could mediate such interplay between sensory processing and memory recall1-4 but this remains to be demonstrated. Recent work parsing entorhinal cortex-to-hippocampus circuitry show its role in episodic memory formation5-7 and spatial navigation8. However, the organization and function of the hippocampus-to-cortex back-projection circuit remains uncharted. We combined circuit mapping, physiology and behavior with optogenetic manipulations, and computational modeling to reveal how hippocampal feedback modulates cortical sensory activity and behavioral output. Here we show a new direct hippocampal projection to entorhinal cortex layer 2/3, the very layer that projects multisensory input to the hippocampus. Our finding challenges the canonical cortico-hippocampal circuit model where hippocampal feedback only reaches entorhinal cortex layer 2/3 indirectly via layer 5. This direct hippocampal input integrates with cortical sensory inputs in layer 2/3 neurons to drive their plasticity and spike output, and provides an important novelty signal during behavior for coding objects and their locations. Through the sensory-memory feedback loop, hippocampus can update real-time cortical sensory processing, efficiently and iteratively, thereby imparting the salient context for adaptive learned behaviors with new experiences.

Abstract
To investigate the effect and the mechanism of ppk1 gene deletion on the drug susceptibility of uropathogenic Escherichia coli producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs-UPEC). The study was an experimental study. From March to April 2021, a strain of ESBLs-UPEC (genotype was TEM combined with CTX-M-14) named as UE210113, was isolated from urine sample of the patient with urinary tract infection in the Laboratory Department of Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital, meanwhile its ppk1 gene knock-out strain Δpk1 and complemented strain Δpk1-C were constructed by suicide plasmid homologous recombination technique, which was used to study the effect of ppk1 gene on ESBLs-UPEC drug sensitivity and its mechanism. The drug susceptibility of UE210113, Δpk1, and Δpk1-C were measured by Vitek2 Compact System and broth microdilution method. The quantitative expression of ESBLs, outer membrane protein and multidrug efflux systems encoding genes of UE210113, Δpk1 and Δpk1-C were performed by using qRT-PCR analysis. By using two independent sample Mann-Whitney U test, the drug susceptibility results showed that, compared with UE210113 strain, the sensitivities of Δpk1 to ceftazidime, cefepime, tobramycin, minocycline and cotrimoxazole were enhanced (Z=-2.121,P<0.05;Z=-2.236,P<0.05;Z=-2.236,P<0.05;Z=-2.121,P<0.05), and the drug susceptibility of Δpk1-C restored to the same as which of UE210113 (Z=0,P>0.05). The expression levels of ESBLs-enconding genes blaTEM and blaCTX-M-14 in Δpk1 were significantly down-regulated compared with UE210113, but the expression was not restored in Δpk1-C. The expression of outer membrane protein gene omp F in Δpk1 was significantly up-regulated, while the expression of omp A and omp C were down-regulated. The results showed that the expression of multidrug efflux systems encoding genes tol C, mdt A and mdtG were down-regulated in Δpk1 compared with UE210113. The expression of all of the outer membrane protein genes and the multidrug efflux systems genes were restored in Δpk1-C. In conclusion,the lost of ppk1 gene can affect the expression of the outer membrane protein and multidrug efflux systems encoding genes of ESBLs-UPEC, which increase the sensitivity of ESBLs-UPEC to various drugs.

Abstract
Soft electromagnetic devices have great potential in soft robotics and biomedical applications. However, existing soft-magneto-electrical devices would have limited hybrid functions and suffer from damaging stress concentrations, delamination or material leakage. Here, we report a hybrid magnetic-mechanical-electrical (MME) core-sheath fiber to overcome these challenges. Assisted by the coaxial printing method, the MME fiber can be printed into complex 2D/3D MME structures with integrated magnetoactive and conductive properties, further enabling hybrid functions including programmable magnetization, somatosensory, and magnetic actuation along with simultaneous wireless energy transfer. To demonstrate the great potential of MME devices, precise and minimally invasive electro-ablation was performed with a flexible MME catheter with magnetic control, hybrid actuation-sensing was performed by a durable somatosensory MME gripper, and hybrid wireless energy transmission and magnetic actuation were demonstrated by an untethered soft MME robot. Our work thus provides a material design strategy for soft electromagnetic devices with unexplored hybrid functions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway in mediating the effect of puerarin against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS Fifteen BALB/C mice were randomized into control group, LPS group and puerarin treatment group, and in the latter two groups, the mice were given an intraperitoneal injection of LPS (5 mg/kg), followed by daily injection of normal saline for 3 days or injection of puerarin (25 mg/kg) given 1 h later and then on a daily basis for 3 days. On day 5 after modeling, the kidney tissues were taken for histological observation and detection of cell apoptosis. The renal function indexes including urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were measured, and the expressions of SIRT1 and NF-κB-p65(acetyl K310) in the renal tissues were detected. RESULTS Intraperitoneal injection of LPS caused obvious glomerular capillary dilatation, hyperemia, renal interstitial edema, and renal tubular epithelial cell swelling and deformation in the mice. The mouse models of LPS-induced AKI also showed significantly increased renal tubular injury score and renal cell apoptosis (P < 0.01) with increased serum levels of BUN, Scr, KIM-1, TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0.01), enhanced renal expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB p65(acetyl K310) (P < 0.01) and lowered renal expression of SIRT1 (P < 0.05). Treatment with puerarin effectively alleviated LPS-induced renal interstitial edema and renal tubular epithelial cell shedding, lowered renal tubular injury score (P < 0.01) and renal cell apoptosis rate (P < 0.01), and decreased serum levels of BUN, Scr, KIM, TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0.01). Puerarin treatment significantly reduced TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB p65 (acetyl K310) expression in the renal tissue (P < 0.05) and increased SIRT1 expression by 17% (P < 0.05) in the mouse models. CONCLUSION Puerarin can effectively alleviate LPS-induced AKI in mice possibly by modulating the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to explore the early diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-related quantitative parameter and its relationship with the micro-perfusion of nontraumatic necrosis of the femoral head. PATIENTS AND METHODS According to the random and double-blind method, the patients with non-traumatic femoral head necrosis diagnosed and treated in our hospital from July 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the subjects (the research group). According to the staging of the International Society of Bone Circulation for Femoral Head Necrosis, 89 patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ A were included (39 patients with stage Ⅱ and 50 patients with stage Ⅲ A). 25 patients who conducted physical examination in our hospital during the same time were taken as the control group. Quantitative parameters of CEUS were analyzed. The content of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) were evaluated. The relationship among the quantitative parameters of CEUS, the expression of VEGF and BMP-2 in serum and the patient's condition, and the value for assisting the early diagnosis of nontraumatic femoral head necrosis were analyzed. RESULTS The body mass, body mass index (BMI), blood lipid, and cholesterol levels were much higher in the research group than in the control group (p < 0.05). The research group had a markedly higher slope of ascending branch (AS), strength enhancement index (EI), and VEGF and obviously lower decay slope (DS), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TTP) than the control group (p < 0.05). In the research group, compared to stage Ⅱ, the levels of AS, EI, and VEGF in stage Ⅲ A patients were memorably higher, and the levels of DS, MTT, TTP and BMP-2 were dramatically lower (p < 0.05). Pearson's correlation test showed that AS, EI, and VEGF were positively correlated with the patients' condition, while DS, MTT, TTP and BMP-2 were negatively correlated with the patients' condition (p < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the diagnostic area under the curve (AUC) of quantitative parameters of CEUS was 0.961, with sensitivity and specificity of 88.0% and 97.4%, respectively. The AUC of the combined detection of VEGF and BMP-2 was 0.945 with sensitivity and specificity of 82.3% and 87.5%, respectively, and the combined detection had a high diagnostic value (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The quantitative parameters of CEUS were of great value in the early diagnosis of nontraumatic necrosis of the femoral head with microvascular perfusion and the patients' condition, and provided a reference for the clinical treatment of non-traumatic necrosis of the femoral head. These parameters were expected to be useful indicators for judging the efficacy before and after treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) in regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cisplatin sensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Six NSCLC cell lines (A549, H1299, H1975, SPCA1, H322, and H460) and a normal bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE) were examined for MYH9 expression using Western blotting. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect MYH9 expression in a tissue microarray containing 49 NSCLC and 43 adjacent tissue specimens. MYH9 knockout cell models were established in H1299 and H1975 cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and the changes in cell proliferation cell were assessed using cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and clone formation assays; Western blotting and flow cytometry were used to detect apoptosis of the cell models, and cisplatin sensitivity of the cells was evaluated using IC50 assay. The growth of tumor xenografts derived from NSCLC with or without MYH9 knockout was observed in nude mice. RESULTS MYH9 expression was significantly upregulated in NSCLC (P < 0.001), and the patients with high MYH9 expression had a significantly shorter survival time (P=0.023). In cultured NSCLC cells, MYH9 knockout obviously inhibited cell proliferation (P < 0.001), promoted cell apoptosis (P < 0.05), and increased their chemosensitivity of cisplatin. In the tumor-bearing mouse models, the NSCLC cells with MYH9 knockout showed a significantly lower growth rate (P < 0.05). Western blotting showed that MYH9 knockout inactivated the AKT/c- Myc axis (P < 0.05) to inhibit the expression of BCL2- like protein 1 (P < 0.05), promoted the expression of BH3- interacting domain death agonist and the apoptosis regulator BAX (P < 0.05), and activated apoptosis-related proteins caspase-3 and caspase-9 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION High expression of MYH9 contributes to NSCLC progression by inhibiting cell apoptosis via activating the AKT/c-Myc axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Older adults with diabetes in the hospital are generally managed similarly to younger adults, however, it is unknown if the degree of frailty can affect glucose control among hospitalized patients. METHODS We examined glycemic parameters derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in older adults with type 2 diabetes and frailty who were hospitalized in non-acute settings. Data was pooled from 3 prospective studies using CGM including 97 patients wearing Libre CGM sensors and 166 patients wearing Dexcom G6 CGM. Glycemic parameters (time in range (TIR) 70-180; time below range (TBR) <70 and 54 mg/dl) by CGM were compared between 103 older adults ≥60 years and 168 younger adults <60 years. Frailty was assessed using validated laboratory and vital signs frailty index FI-LAB (n = 85), and its effect on hypoglycemia risk was studied. RESULTS Older adults, as compared to younger adults, had significantly lower admission HbA1c (8.76% ± 1.82 vs. 10.25% ± 2.29, p < 0.001), blood glucose (203.89 ± 88.65 vs. 247.86 ± 124.17 mg/dl, p = 0.003), mean daily BG (173.9 ± 41.3 vs. 183.6 ± 45.0 mg/dl, p = 0.07) and higher percent TIR 70-180 mg/dl (59.0 ± 25.6% vs. 51.0 ± 26.1%, p = 0.02) during hospital stay. There was no difference in hypoglycemia occurrence between older and younger adults. Higher FI-LAB score was associated with higher % CGM < 70 mg/dl (0.204) and % CGM < 54 mg/dl (0.217). CONCLUSION Older adults with type 2 diabetes have better glycemic control prior to admission and during hospital stay compared to younger adults. Frailty is associated with longer presence of hypoglycemia in non-acute hospital settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to use three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to detect ultrasound parameters related to the uterine artery and endometrium, evaluate endometrial receptivity, and investigate the predictive value of each parameter for ectopic pregnancy (EP) after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-seven cases of pregnancy following IVF-ET in our institution were collected and split into EP and intrauterine pregnancy (IP) groups based on the location of pregnancy, with 27 cases in EP and 30 cases in IP. Endometrial thickness, type, volume, endometrial blood flow parameters, and uterine artery blood flow parameters were all measured one day before transplantation in both groups, and the differences between the two groups were examined. RESULTS There were differences in endometrial blood flow typing between the two groups, with type III endometrium accounting for the highest proportion in both; the uterine spiral artery pulsatility index PI was significantly higher in the EP group than in the IP group; there were no statistical differences in uterine volume, uterine artery resistance index mRI, or uterine artery resistance index S/D between the two groups; there were no statistical differences in uterine volume, or uterine artery. CONCLUSIONS Intracavitary 3D ultrasound can assess endometrial tolerance and may predict pregnancy outcome after IVF-ET.

Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can mini-invasively track blood glucose fluctuation and reduce the risk of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, and this is is in great demand for diabetes management. However, cost-effective manufacture of CGM systems with continuously improved convenience and performance is still the persistent goal. Herein, we developed a smartphone-controlled and microneedle (MN)-based wearable CGM system for long-term glucose monitoring. The CGM system modified with a sandwich-type enzyme immobilization strategy can satisfy the clinical requirement of interstitial fluid (ISF) glucose monitoring for 14 days with a mean absolute relative difference of 10.2% and a cost of less than $15, which correlated well with the commercial glucometer and FDA-approved CGM system FreeStyle Libre (Abbott Inc., Illinois, USA). The self-developed CGM system is demonstrated to accurately monitor glucose fluctuations and provide abundant clinical information. It is better to find the cause of individual blood glucose changes and beneficial for the guide of precise glucose control. On the whole, the intelligently wearable CGM system may provide an alternative solution for home-care diabetes management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The quality of primary care is important for health outcomes among residents in China. There is evidence that internal work motivation improves the quality of healthcare provided by clinicians. However, few empirical studies have examined the relationship between internal work motivation and clinical performance among village clinicians in rural China. This study was performed to evaluate healthcare quality among village clinicians, then explore its relationships with internal work motivation among those clinicians. METHODS We collected survey data using a standardised patient method and a structured questionnaire. We observed 225 interactions between standardised patients and village clinicians from 21 counties in three provinces. We used logistic regression models to analyse the relationships between work motivation and healthcare quality, then conducted heterogeneity analysis. RESULTS Healthcare quality among village clinicians was generally low. There was a significantly positive correlation between internal work motivation and healthcare quality among village clinicians (P<0.1). Additionally, the positive effect of internal work motivation on healthcare quality was strongest among clinicians who received financial incentives and had a lighter workload (fewer patients per month) [P<0.1]. CONCLUSION Healthcare quality among village clinicians requires urgent improvement. We recommend implementing financial incentives to stimulate internal work motivation among village clinicians, thus improving their clinical performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post radiation nasopharyngeal necrosis (PRNN) invading the internal carotid artery (ICA) contributes to the death of 69.2-72.7% of PRNN patients. ICA occlusion is an effective treatment to avoid fatal bleeding, while some patients are intolerant. We present a novel method that allows for these patients without interrupting blood flow through the ICA. METHODOLOGY This study enrolled patients with PRNN-invaded ICA who were not suitable for ICA occlusion from April 2020 to November 2022. ICA stent pretreatment was performed in the 36 patients and followed the endoscopic nasopharyngectomy (ENPG) or conservative treatment for PRNN. We report the survival outcome and incidence of complications after stent implantation and compare the survival outcomes of ENPG and conservative treatment for PRNN followed by stent implantation. RESULTS ICA stent pretreatment was performed in the 36 enrolled patients, among which 14 underwent ENPG, and 22 received conservative treatment. 27.8% patients died after a median follow-up of 15 months. The Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall survival were higher in the ENPG group than in the conservative treatment group. Karnofsky performance status (KPS) was significantly higher in the ENPG group than in the non-ENPG group. CONCLUSIONS The innovative application of ICA stents is a promising treatment to improve outcomes in patients with PRNN invading the ICA who are unsuitable for ICA embolization, especially when followed by endoscopic surgery. However, methods to avoid postoperative cerebral ischemia and nasopharyngeal hemorrhage still require further study.

Abstract
In recent years, with the problem of aging population in China being prominant, the number of patients with chronic wounds such as diabetic foot, pressure ulcer, and vascular ulcer is increasing. Those diseases seriously affect the life quality of patients and increase the economy and care burden of the patients' family, which have been one of the most urgent clinical problems. Many researches have confirmed that adipose stem cells can effectively promote wound healing, while exogenous protease is needed, and there are ethical and many other problems, which limit the clinical application of adipose stem cells. Adipose stem cell matrix gel is a gel-like mixture of biologically active extracellular matrix and stromal vascular fragment obtained from adipose tissue by the principle of fluid whirlpool and flocculation precipitation. It contains rich adipose stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and macrophages, etc. The preparation method of adipose stem cell matrix gel is simple and the preparation time is short, which is convenient for clinical application. Many studies at home and abroad showed that adipose stem cell matrix gel can effectively promote wound healing by regulating inflammatory reaction, promoting microvascular reconstruction and collagen synthesis. Therefore, this paper summarized the preparation of adipose stem cell matrix gel, the mechanism and problems of the matrix gel in promoting wound repair, in order to provide new methods and ideas for the treatment of chronic refractory wounds in clinic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) pattern has been found to aid in the reduction of obesity, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation, which are all strongly linked to the development of head and neck cancer (HNC). Nevertheless, no epidemiological studies have investigated the association between this dietary pattern and HNC risk. This study was conducted with the purpose of bridging this gap in knowledge. DESIGN A prospective cohort study involving 98,459 American adults aged 55 years and older. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Data were drawn from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Trial. In the present study, participants with dependable energy intake data who furnished baseline and dietary history information were identified as the study population. METHODS Diet was assessed by food frequency questionnaires and the DASH score was calculated to assess each participant's adherence to DASH eating pattern. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the occurrence of HNC. To visualize the variation in cancer risk for HNC and its subtypes across the entire spectrum of DASH scores, restricted cubic spline plots were utilized. Additionally, a series of predefined subgroup analyses were performed to identify potential effect modifiers, and several sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the stability of the findings. RESULTS During a follow-up period of 871,879.6 person-years, 268 cases of HNC were identified, comprising 161 cases pertaining to oral cavity and pharynx cancers, as well as 96 cases of larynx cancer. In the fully adjusted model, adherence to the DASH diet was associated with a remarkable 57% reduction in the risk of HNC when comparing extreme quartiles (HR quartile 4 vs 1: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.28, 0.66; P for trend < 0.001). The restricted cubic spline plots demonstrated a linear dose-response relationship between the DASH score and the risk of HNC as well as its subtypes. Subgroup analysis revealed that the protective effect of the DASH diet against HNC was particularly pronounced in individuals with lower daily energy intake. The primary association remained robust in the sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS In American middle-aged and older population, adherence to the DASH diet may help prevent HNC, particularly for individuals with lower daily energy intake.

Abstract
Recent observational and meta-analyses have reported a frailty prevalence between 10% and 25% in people with diabetes, in particular in those older than 60 years of age. The impact of frailty on hospital glycemic control and glycemic variability (GV) by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in insulin-treated older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not known. Accordingly, we reviewed data from 3 inpatient randomized clinical trials using CGM in insulin-treated patients with T2D. The validated laboratory-based frailty index (FI-LAB) scale was used for frailty assessment, and participants were categorized into three groups [non-frail: (0-<0.1), pre-frail (≥0.1-<0.21), and frail (≥0.21)] in 84 older adults. | There were no differences on admission clinical characteristics between the non-frail/pre-frail older adults and the frail older adults except for Creatinine (BMI: 32.4 ± 9 vs. 36.83± 13, p=0.21; HbA1c%: 9.3 ± 2 vs. 8.72± 2, p=0.18; Admission BG: 227 ± 114 vs. 194. 07± 75 mg/dl, p=0.26; Cr: 1.16 ± 1 vs. 1.65± 1. 0). There were no differences in GV by coefficient of variation (CV), amplitude of glucose excursion (MAGE), and standard deviation (SD) between the two groups. The correlation between FI-LAB score and percent time with CGM <70 was 0.204 (p=0. 064) and the correlation between FI-LAB score and percent time with percent time with CGM<54 was 0.217 (p=0. 049). Results from standard linear regression and zero-inflated Beta regression further suggest that frail old patients with higher frailty scores may be associated with larger percent time with CGM below range <70 and CGM <54 mg/dL. Conclusion Our results indicate that older adults with T2D with higher frailty score experience more time in hypoglycemia during their hospital stay despite having comparable mean daily blood glucose, time in range and glycemic variability compared to non-frail or pre-frail older adults. A larger prospective study is needed to confirm these findings and determine the impact of frailty on clinical outcome. Providers should be vigilant when using insulin or insulin secretagogues in hospitalized older adults with diabetes and frailty. Presentation: Sunday, June 12, 2022 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary healthcare in rural China is underutilised, especially in village clinics in Southwest China. The aim of this study was to explore any relationships among the ethnicity of the healthcare provider, the clinical competence of the healthcare provider, and the utilisation of village clinics in Southwest China. METHODS This cross-sectional survey study involved 330 village healthcare providers from three prefectures in Yunnan Province in 2017. Multiple logistic regressions were adopted to investigate the utilisation of primary healthcare among different ethnic healthcare providers. RESULTS Primary healthcare utilisation was higher in village clinics where healthcare providers were Han Chinese than those where healthcare providers were ethnic minority (151 vs 101, P=0.008). The logistic regression analysis showed that clinical competence was positively associated with the utilisation of primary healthcare (odds ratio [OR]=1.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.12-2.00; P=0.007) and that inadequate clinical competence of ethnic minority health workers may lead to a lag in the utilisation of primary healthcare (OR=0.45, 95% CI=0.23-0.89; P=0.022). CONCLUSION Our results confirm differences in the utilisation of primary healthcare in rural Yunnan Province among healthcare providers of different ethnicities. Appropriate enhancements of clinical competence could be conducive to improving the utilisation of primary healthcare, especially among ethnic minority healthcare providers.

Abstract
BackgroundClinical manifestations of gut problems except for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have not been well-established in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). One study investigated that 30% patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) had irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms meeting Rome III criteria.[1]ObjectivesTo determine the frequency of symptoms meeting Rome IV functional bowel disorder (FBD) in patients with AS, investigate factors associated with FBD symptoms, and assess whether having FBD symptoms might influence AS disease activity.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we consecutively enrolled 153 AS patients without known colonic ulcer and 56 sex- and age-matched controls to evaluate FBD (or its subtypes) symptoms.[2] In AS group, logistic regression models were used to explore whether demographic data, disease activity, level of gut inflammation, drug use, and fibromyalgia [3] were associated with presence of gut symptoms. Finally, potential impacts of gut symptoms on AS disease status were assessed in linear regression models.ResultsSixty (39.2%) of 153 AS patients had FBD symptoms, which was more prevalent than controls (23.2%). Besides, symptoms compatible with IBS and chronic diarrhea were detected in 18 and 43 AS patients respectively. For AS group, multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that symptoms of FBD, IBS, and chronic diarrhea were negatively associated with using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and positively associated with comorbid fibromyalgia, respectively. In exploration about effects of FBD (or its subtypes) symptoms on AS disease activity by multivariable linear regression analyses, FBD symptoms and chronic diarrhea had positive associations with assessments of AS respectively.ConclusionPatients with AS had frequent symptoms compatible with FBD, IBS, and chronic diarrhea, proportions of which were lower in those with NSAID-use. The improvement of FBD symptoms, especially chronic diarrhea, might be conducive to disease status of AS patients.References[1]Wallman JK, et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2020;79:159-61.[2]Mearin F, et al.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this research is to determine the role of miR-34a-5p in the occurrence and development of HCC by targeting VEGFA. METHODS The expression of miR-34a-5p in HCC cell lines and tumour tissue was detected by qRT-PCR; the effect of miR-34a-5p on the invasive ability of HCC cells (SMMC7721 and MHCC97H) were detected by Transwell invasion assay; VEGFA is predicted as a potential target gene of miR-34a-5p by TargetScan, and validated with dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, qRT-PCR and western blot. VEGFA expression in HCC cell lines and tumour tissue was detected using qRT-PCR; the regulation and influence of miR-34a-5p and VEGFA on the proliferation, invasion, migration and the S-phase cell of HCC cells with different invasive abilities were detected by CCK8, Transwell assay, wound healing assay, and flow cytometry. The effect of miR-34a-5p on the growth of tumour was detected by constructing a xenograft model of nude mice with HCC. RESULTS It was found that the expression of miR-34a-5p in HCC cells and tumour tissue was significantly decreased. Up-regulating miR-34a-5p expression could reduce the invasion ability of HCC cells. MiR-34a-5p could inhibit the mRNA and protein expression level of VEGFA via combining with the 3'-UTR of VEGFA. VEGFA was highly expressed in HCC cells and tumour tissues. The miR-34a-5p inhibited the proliferation, invasion, migration and S-phase arrest of HCC cells, but this inhibition effect could be neutralised by VEGFA; miR-34a-5p exerted the inhibitory effect on HCC cell proliferation and tumour growth in the HCC xenograft model of nude mice. CONCLUSION These results suggest that miR-34a-5p could inhibit the occurrence and development of HCC by targeting VEGFA.

Abstract
Liver failure is a serious clinical syndrome in which multiple pathogenic factors exceed the liver's self-repair capability, resulting massive hepatocellular necrosis, rapid disease progression and high mortality. Liver transplantation is the most effective method for the treatment of liver failure, but it has disadvantages, such as insufficient liver donor and high cost. The clinical efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells in liver failure have been validated, but its application has been limited to certain extent. Cell-free-based therapies, especially mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes, has become a research hotspot in recent years. This paper reviews the research advances in the treatment of liver failure with the use of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal disease are prone to develop heart failure (HF). The N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP, BNP) is regarded as the gold standard for diagnosing HF. However, its prognostic sensitivity in patients with end-stage renal disease is sub-optimal. Soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) has been well studied in HF but rarely in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). This study aimed to evaluate the value of sST2 in predicting HF in MHD patients. METHODS Twenty-three patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV were included in the HF group and 88 NYHA class I-II patients in the non-heart failure (NHF) group. sST2 and laboratory indexes were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The HF group, compared with the NHF group, presented with higher sST2, more advanced age, higher incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), left ventricle end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), and unchanged parathyroid hormone (iPTH). The HF group also had lower ejection fraction (EF), uric acid, inorganic phosphorus, 25-OH VitD3, and serum albumin. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that age, BNP, and sST2 were independent risk factors of HF in MHD patients. Spearman analysis defined that sST2 was positively correlated with PAP (r =0.283, p =0.003) and C-reactive protein (r =0.354, p <0.001); and negatively correlated with sex (r =-0.255, p =0.007), albumin (r =-0.366, p <0.001), uric acid (r =-0.213, p =0.025), 25-OH VitD3 (r =-0.216, p =0.04), calcium (r =-0.219, p =0.021), and inorganic phosphorus (r =-0.256, p =0.007). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis determined a positive association between BNP and sST2 (r =0.373, p <0.001), with the area under the curve (AUC) of BNP being 0.822 (sensitivity: 0.783, specificity: 0.830) and the AUC of sST2 being 0.841 (sensitivity: 0.913, specificity: 0.761). The AUC of sST2 was 0.841, and the cut-value was 42.840 (sensitivity: 0.913, specificity: 0.761). CONCLUSION sST2 can predict HF in MHD patients and facilitate early diagnosis and prevention of HF in MHD patients. HIPPOKRATIA 2022, 26 (1):19-24.

Abstract
Magnetically responsive structured surfaces enabling multifunctional droplet manipulation are of significant interest in both scientific and engineering research. To realize magnetic actuation, current strategies generally employ well-designed microarrays of high-aspect-ratio structure components (e.g., microcilia, micropillars, and microplates) with incorporated magnetism to allow reversible bending deformation driven by magnets. However, such magneto-responsive microarray surfaces suffer from highly restricted deformation range and poor control precision under magnetic field, restraining their droplet manipulation capability. Herein, a novel magneto-responsive shutter (MRS) design composed of arrayed microblades connected to a frame is developed for on-demand droplet manipulation. The microblades can perform two dynamical transformation operations, including reversible swing and rotation, and significantly, the transformation can be precisely controlled over a large rotation range with the highest rotation angle up to 3960°. Functionalized MRSs based on the above design, including Janus-MRS, superhydrophobic MRS (SHP-MRS) and lubricant infused slippery MRS (LIS-MRS), can realize a wide range of droplet manipulations, ranging from switchable wettability, directional droplet bounce, droplet distribution, and droplet merging, to continuous droplet transport along either straight or curved paths. MRS provides a new paradigm of using swing/rotation topographic transformation to replace conventional bending deformation for highly efficient and on-demand multimode droplet manipulation under magnetic actuation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the antioxidant effect of DJ-1 (Park7) in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and its potential mechanism. OBJECTIVE A total of 108 SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group, Scramble group, DJ-1 siRNA group, negative control (NC) group and DJ-1 overexpression group. Except for those in the sham group, all the rats were subjected to MCAO to establish models of cerebral IR injury. In DJ-1 siRNA and DJ-1 overexpression group, a DJ-1 siRNA and an adeno-associated virus vector carrying DJ-1 gene was injected into the lateral ventricle of the rats, respectively. In each group, neurological scores and brain water content were determined after the operation, and pathological changes of the brain tissue and neuronal injury in the cortical infarction area were assessed using HE and Nissl staining. Oxidative stress in the brain tissues was analyzed by detecting superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA). The expression levels of DJ-1, Nrf2, Ho-1 and NQO1 in the brain tissue were detected with Western blotting, and the expression and nucleation of Nrf2 was determined by immunofluorescence staining. OBJECTIVE Compared with those in MCAO group, the neurological scores (P < 0.001) and brain water content (P < 0.001) were significantly increased in DJ-1 siRNA group. Intracerebral injection of DJ-1 siRNA following MCAO obviously aggravated neuron injury in cerebral ischemia region, further reduced SOD activity and increased MDA content (P < 0.001), and significantly lowered the expression levels of Nrf2 and its downstream proteins HO-1 and NQO1 (P < 0.001). Intracerebral injection of the adenoviral vector for DJ-1 (P=0.003) overexpression significantly upregulated the levels of Nrf2 (P=0.006) and its downstream proteins HO-1 (P=0.004) and NQO1 (P=0.014). OBJECTIVE As an important neuroprotective factor, DJ-1 alleviates oxidative stress induced by cerebral IR injury in rats by activating the Nrf2 pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics of hepatic echinococcus granulosus (HEG). Methods: Thirteen cases of HEG were collected from Linzhi People's Hospital between January 2017 to October 2020, and their clinicopathologic features, ultrasound classification, immunophenotype and histochemical data were analyzed, retrospectively and the relevant literature was reviewed. Results: Thirteen patients (5 male patients, 8 female patients) were included in this cohort, and the mean age was 40 years. The most common clinical presentation was mild abdominal distention and pain (9/13). Based on WHO-IWGE ultrasound standardized classification, these cases were classified into 5 types, including type CL (1 case), type CE1 (2 cases), type CE2 (4 cases), type CE3 (3 cases) and type CE4 (3 cases). Gross examination revealed a solitary cyst localized in the liver, varying from 2.7 to 13.5 cm in diameter, and most of them(10/13)were more than 10 cm. Histopathologically, these cysts possessed a thin inner germinal layer and outer adventitial layer, and a central cavity filled with a clear"hydatid"fluid. The germinal layer was continuous and generated brood capsules and protoscoleces. The laminated membranes were clearly demonstrated by elastic fiber and Gomori's stains. Inside the"mother"cyst, there were a varying number of"daughter"vesicles of variable sizes. The inflammatory reaction around the cyst consisted of eosinophils, mononuclear cells immediately next to the cyst layer and sometimes formed granuloma and giant cells resembling the Langhan's type giant cells. The lymphoid cells were positive for CD20 and CD3. The CD68 immunohistochemistry clearly demonstrated epithelioid cells of granuloma in two cases. Moreover, immunohistochemistry revealed plasma cells were locally positive for CD38, IgG and IgG4, but not meeting the criteria for IgG4 related lesion. Conclusions: Hepatic echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic parasitic disease prevalent in pastoral areas such as Tibet. It is important to understand its clinical features, ultrasound characteristics and histological morphology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is one of the tumors with high malignancy of the liver and bile system, whose development and prognosis mechanisms are still not clear. Here, a preliminary illustration was made on the expression and function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) CASC2 and the relevant mechanism of its function. PATIENTS AND METHODS Expression of CASC2 in CCA tissues and cells were examined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation ability was detected using colony formation and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays while cell invasion and migration abilities were measured using transwell and Matrigel assays. Using bioinformatic analysis, underlying downstream molecules of CASC2 were predicted and by Dual-Luciferase assay and Western blot. RESULTS It was found that CASC2 was expressed at a significantly lower level in CCA tissues and cell lines. The overexpression of CASC2 inhibited QBC939 cell proliferation, invasion and migration when the knockdown of CASC2 accelerated HUCCT1 cell growth and metastasis. Besides, miR-18a was identified as a direct target for CASC2, and SOCS5 as target for miR-18a. Moreover, CASC2 functioned as a sponge of miR-18a to promote the SOCS5 expression, then, slowed down the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression. CONCLUSIONS CASC2 was downregulated in CCA tissues and cells. It could inhibit cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT via sponging miR-18a/SOCS5 axis. This might provide a novel target for CCA diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects of orthokeratology lens on children with myopic anisometropia. Methods: Retrospective case series study. The data of 226 myopic anisometropia children, (10.83±1.56)years old, including 95 males and 131 females, fitted with orthokeratology(OK) lens in Beijing Tongren Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were collected. According to the lens wearing condition and baseline anisometropia, they were divided into four groups: group A1 with an average age of (10.68±1.66) years (bilateral OK lens wearing with low anisometropia, 1.0 D≤SE difference<2.5 D, 50 males and 61 females), group A2 with an average age of (11.24±1.38) years (bilateral OK lens wearing with moderate and high anisometropia, SE difference≥2.5 D, 10 males and 23 females), group B1 with an average age of (10.79±1.51) years (unilateral OK lens wearing with low anisometropia, 1.0 D≤SE difference<2.5 D, 17 males and 21 females) and group B2 with an average age of (10.97±1.60) years (unilateral OK lens wearing with moderate and high anisometropia, SE difference≥2.5 D, 18 males and 26 females). After wearing OK lens for one year, the changes of axial length(AL) and AL difference were observed and statistically analyzed. Results: (1) AL changes: after wearing OK-lens for one year, AL of each eye increased. In group A1, the AL of the more myopic eyes and the less myopic eyes increased by (0.20±0.21) mm and (0.24±0.22) mm respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-3.208, P=0.002); in group A2, the AL growth of the more myopic eyes and the less myopic eyes were (0.04±0.11) mm and (0.17±0.14) mm, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-5.545, P<0.001). In group B1, the AL elongation of the more myopic eyes and the less myopic eyes were (0.14±0.21) mm and (0.39±0.23) mm, and in group B2, the AL growth of the more myopic eyes and the less myopic eyes were (0.11±0.14) mm and (0.54±0.24) mm, with statistically significant differences(t=-6.533, -11.643; all P<0.001). There was a linear correlation between AL elongation and age of the more myopic eyes and the less myopic eyes in group A1(corrected R2=0.208, 0.237) and group A2 (corrected R2=0.169, 0.360). There was no linear correlation of the more myopic eyes and the less myopic eyes between AL change and age or baseline myopia in group B1 (F=0.514, 1.205;P=0.602, 0.312) and group B2 (F=0.841, 0.056; P=0.439, 0.946). (2)Change of AL difference: after wearing OK lens for one year, the changes of AL difference in groupA1, A2, B1 and B2 were (-0.04±0.14) mm,(-0.13±0.13) mm,(-0.26±0.24) mm and (-0.43±0.25) mm, and the decrease of AL difference in moderate and high anisometropia groups were greater than that in low anisometropia groups (t =-3.211, -3.180; P=0.002, 0.002).There was a linear correlation between the reduction of AL difference and baseline anisometropia in group A1, A2 and B2 (corrected R2=0.099, 0.149, 0.230), and there was no linear relationship between the decrease of AL difference and the baseline anisometropia in group B1 (F=0.014, P=0.908). Conclusions: Orthokeratology could effectively control the progression of myopia and to treat anisometropia. The effect of myopia control was better in the older binocular OK lens wearers, and for the patients with greater baseline anisometropia, the treatment effect of anisometropia was better.

Abstract
Abstract
Tomographic Gamma Scanning (TGS) is a nondestructive analysis technique for accurately measuring the content of radioactive material in sealed containers. It has important applications in the fields of nuclear safety assurance and the measurement and analysis of radioactive waste drums. As the key of TGS technique, the quality of the emission image reconstruction algorithm will directly affect the accuracy of measurement results. In this paper, a computer simulation platform for TGS technique is established. The application of four emission image reconstruction algorithms in TGS technique is systematically studied by using 6 · 6 · 6 sample voxel model. Three representative sample media and radioactive source distribution models are established and the applicability of the four reconstruction algorithms is analyzed and evaluated in the presence and absence of detector noise interference. Computer simulation and experimental results show that ML-EM algorithm is the most applicable in the process of TGS image reconstruction.
