Abstract
Fracture liaison services (FLS) have been proven clinically effective and cost-effective in preventing subsequent fractures among patients with an existing fragility fracture. Little is known about their monetary benefits such as their return on investment (ROI). This systematic review aimed to investigate the ROI of FLS and identify the FLS characteristics with better ROI. Studies on the cost-effectiveness of FLS published between January 2000 and December 2022 were searched from MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Central. Two independent reviewers conducted study selection and data extraction. ROI was calculated based on the difference between monetary benefits and FLS costs divided by the FLS costs. Subgroup analysis of ROI was performed across FLS types and FLS design details. A total of 23 FLS were included in this review. The majority of them were targeting patients aged over 50 years having fractures without identified sites. The mean ROI of these FLS was 10.49 (with a median ROI of 7.57), and 86.96% of FLS had positive ROI. FLS making treatment recommendations yielded the highest ROI (with a mean ROI of 18.39 and a median of 13.60). Incorporating primary care providers (with a mean ROI of 16.04 and a median of 13.20) or having them as program leaders (with a mean ROI of 12.07 and a median of 12.07) has demonstrated a high ROI. FLS for specific fracture sites had great monetary return. Intensive FLS such as type A and B FLS programs had higher ROI than non-intensive type C and D FLS. This review revealed a 10.49-fold monetary return of FLS. Identified characteristics contributing to greater economic return informed value-for-money FLS designs. Findings highlight the importance of FLS and the feasibility of expanding their contribution in mitigating the economic burden of osteoporotic fracture and are conducive to the promotion of FLS internationally.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of patients with resectable mucosal melanoma is poor. Toripalimab combined with axitinib has shown impressive results in metastatic mucosal melanoma with an objective response rate of 48.3% and a median progression-free survival of 7.5 months in a phase Ib trial. It was hypothesized that this combination administered in the neoadjuvant setting might induce a pathologic response in resectable mucosal melanoma, so we conducted this trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS This single-arm phase II trial enrolled patients with resectable mucosal melanoma. Patients received toripalimab 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks (Q2W) plus axitinib 5 mg two times a day (b.i.d.) for 8 weeks as neoadjuvant therapy, then surgery and adjuvant toripalimab 3 mg/kg Q2W starting 2 ± 1weeks after surgery for 44 weeks. The primary endpoint was the pathologic response rate according to the International Neoadjuvant Melanoma Consortium recommendations. RESULTS Between August 2019 and October 2021, 29 patients were enrolled and received treatment, of whom 24 underwent resection. The median follow-up time was 34.2 months (95% confidence interval 20.4-48.0 months). The pathologic response rate was 33.3% (8/24; 4 pathological complete responses and 4 pathological partial responses). The median event-free survival for all patients was 11.1 months (95% confidence interval 5.3-16.9 months). The median overall survival was not reached. Neoadjuvant therapy was tolerable with 8 (27.5%) grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events and no treatment-related deaths. Tissue samples of 17 patients at baseline and after surgery were collected (5 responders and 12 nonresponders). Multiplex immunohistochemistry demonstrated a significant increase in CD3+ (P = 0.0032) and CD3+CD8+ (P = 0.0038) tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes after neoadjuvant therapy, particularly in pathological responders. CONCLUSIONS Neoadjuvant toripalimab combined with axitinib in resectable mucosal melanoma demonstrated a promising pathologic response rate with significantly increased infiltrating CD3+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells after therapy.

Abstract
Inflammation of chondrocytes plays a critical role in the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis (OA). Recent evidence indicated exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-Exos) exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory ability in many troublesome inflammatory diseases including OA. In the present study, we aimed to explore the role of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs-Exos (hUC-MSCs-Exos) in treating the inflammation of chondrocytes and its related mechanisms. Ultracentrifugation was applied to isolate hUC-MSCs-Exos from the culture supernatant of hUC-MSCs. Two OA-like in vitro inflammation models of human articular chondrocytes induced with interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and co-incubation with macrophage utilizing transwell cell culture inserts were both used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of hUC-MSCs-Exos. The mRNA sequencing of chondrocytes after treatment and microRNA (miRNA) sequencing of hUC-MSCs-Exos were detected and analyzed for possible mechanism analysis. The results of the study confirmed that hUC-MSCs-Exos had a reversed effect of IL-1β on chondrocytes in the expression of collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) and matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13). The addition of hUC-MSCs-Exos to M1 macrophages in the upper chamber showed down-regulation of IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), up-regulation of IL-10 and arginase1 (ARG1), and reversed the gene and protein expression of COL2A1 and MMP13 of the chondrocytes seeded in the lower chamber. The results of this study confirmed the anti-inflammatory effects of hUC-MSCs-Exos in the human articular chondrocytes inflammation model. hUC-MSCs-Exos may be used as a potential cell-free treatment strategy for chondrocyte inflammation in OA.

Abstract
Curcumin, a natural polyphenol compound, has been identified as an effective therapeutic agent against cancer that exerts its anti-tumor activities by up/downregulating signaling mediators and modulating various cellular processes, including angiogenesis, autophagy, apoptosis, metastasis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Since almost 98% of genomic transcriptional production is noncoding RNAs in humans, there is evidence that curcumin exerts therapeutic effects through the alterations of noncoding RNAs in various types of cancers. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are formed by the back-splicing of immature mRNAs and have several functions, including functioning as miRNA sponges. It has been shown that curcumin modulated various circRNAs, including circ-HN1, circ-PRKCA, circPLEKHM3, circZNF83, circFNDC3B, circ_KIAA1199, circRUNX1, circ_0078710, and circ_0056618. The modulation of these circRNAs targeted the expression of mRNAs and modified various signaling pathways and hallmarks of cancer. In this article, we reviewed the pharmacokinetics of curcumin, its anti-cancer activities, as well as the biology and structure of circRNAs. Our main focus was on how curcumin exerts anti-cancer functions by modulating circRNAs and their target mRNAs and pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endometrial cancer is the second largest and most common cancer in the world. It is urgent to explore novel biomarkers. METHODS Data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox analysis, nomograms, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were conducted. Cell proliferation experiments were performed in Ishikawa cell. RESULTS TARS was significantly highly expressed in serous type, G3 grade, and deceased status. Significant association was between high TARS expression with poor overall survival (P = 0.0012) and poor disease specific survival (P = 0.0034). Significant differences were observed in advanced stage, G3 and G4, and old. The stage, diabetes, histologic grade, and TARS expression showed independent prognostic value for overall survival of endometrial cancer. The stage, histologic grade, and TARS expression showed independent prognostic value for disease specific survival of endometrial cancer. Activated CD4+ T cell, effector memory CD4+ T cell, memory B cell and type 2 T helper cell may participate in the high TARS expression related immune response in endometrial cancer. The CCK-8 results showed significantly inhibited cell proliferation in si-TARS (P < 0.05) and promoted cell proliferation in O-TARS (P < 0.05), confirmed by the colony formation and live/dead staining. CONCLUSION High TARS expression was found in endometrial cancer with prognostic and predictive value. This study will provide new biomarker TARS for diagnosis and prognosis of endometrial cancer.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases and a major global public health concern. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used for the treatment of OA owing to their paracrine secretion of trophic factors, a phenomenon in which exosomes may play a major role. Here, we investigate the potential of exosomes from human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs-Exos) in alleviating OA. Methods The hUC-MSCs-Exos were harvested from hUC-MSC-conditioned medium using ultracentrifugation. Rats with surgically-induced OA were intra-articularly injected with hUC-MSCs-Exos. The effect of hUC-MSCs-Exos in repairing osteoarticular cartilage was assessed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, safranin-O and fast green staining and immunohistochemistry. The in vitro experiments were further carried out to verify the therapeutic effect. The effects of hUC-MSCs-Exos on the proliferation and migration of human chondrocytes were evaluated using the cell counting kit-8, EdU-555 cell proliferation kit, and transwell assays. Annexin V-FITC/PI staining were used to evaluate the effect of exosomes on chondrocyte apoptosis. An in vitro model of human articular chondrocytes treated with interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) was used to evaluate the effects of exosomes, analyses involved using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunofluorescence, and western blotting. The role of hUC-MSCs-Exos in macrophage polarization was examined in the monocyte cell line, Tohoku Hospital Pediatrics-1 (THP-1) by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence. Results The results showed that hUC-MSCs-Exos prevented severe damage to the knee articular cartilage in the rat OA model. We confirmed the high efficacy of hUC-MSCs-Exos in promoting chondrocyte proliferation and migration and inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis. Additionally, hUC-MSCs-Exos could reverse IL-1β-induced injury of chondrocytes and regulate the polarization of macrophages in vitro. Conclusions There is potential for hUC-MSCs-Exos to be used as a treatment strategy for OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No standard of care for mucosal melanoma (MM) in the adjuvant setting has been established. Meanwhile, relapse-free survival (RFS) is only about five months after surgery alone. This phase II trial aimed to compare toripalimab vs. high-dose interferon-α2b (HDI) as an adjuvant therapy for resected MM. PATIENTS AND METHODS From July 2017 to May 2019, 145 patients with resected MM were randomized (1:1) to receive HDI (N = 72) or toripalimab (N = 73) for one year until disease relapse/distant metastasis, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was RFS. The secondary endpoints included distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 26.3 months, the numbers of RFS, OS, and DMFS events were 51 vs. 46, 33 vs. 29, and 49 vs. 44 in the toripalimab arm and the HDI arm, respectively. The median RFS were 13.6 (95%CI: 8.31-19.02) months and 13.9 (95%CI: 8.28-19.61) months in the toripalimab arm and HDI arm, respectively. The DMFS was not significantly different between the two arms (HR: 1.00, 95%CI: 0.65-1.54). The median OS was 35.1 months (95%CI: 27.93-NR) in the toripalimab arm, with no significant difference in all-cause death (HR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.66-1.84) for the two arms. The median sums of the patients' actual infusion doses were 3672 mg and 1054.5 MIU in the toripalimab arm and HDI arm, respectively. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events with a grade ≥ 3 was much higher in the HDI arm than in the toripalimab arm (87.5% vs. 27.4%). CONCLUSION Toripalimab showed a similar RFS and a more favorable safety profile than HDI, both better than historical data, suggesting that toripalimab might be the better treatment option. However, additional translational studies and better treatment regimens are still warranted to improve the clinical outcome of MM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Autophagy and EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) are the two principal biological processes and ideal therapeutic targets during cancer development. Autophagy, a highly conserved process for degrading dysfunctional cellular components, plays a dual role in tumors depending on the tumor stage and tissue types. The EMT process is the transition differentiation from an epithelial cell to a mesenchymal-like cell and acquiring metastatic potential. There is evidence that the crosstalk between autophagy and EMT is complex in cancer. In recent years, more studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in autophagy, EMT, and their crosstalk. Therefore, accurate understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs and miRNAs in autophagy, EMT and their interactions is crucial for the clinical management of cancers. METHODS An extensive literature search was conducted on the Google Scholar and PubMed databases. The keywords used for the search included: autophagy, EMT, crosstalk, lncRNAs, miRNAs, cancers, diagnostic biomarkers, and therapeutic targets. This search provided relevant articles published in peer-reviewed journals until 2021. Data from these various studies were extracted and used in this review. RESULTS The results showed that lncRNAs/miRNAs as tumor inhibitors or tumor inducers could regulate autophagy, EMT, and their interaction by regulating several molecular signaling pathways. The lncRNAs/miRNAs involved in autophagy and EMT processes could have potential uses in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. CONCLUSION Such information could help find and develop lncRNAs/miRNAs based new tools for diagnosing, prognosis, and creating anti-cancer therapies.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the efficacy and safety of toripalimab combined with axitinib in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Methods: Clinical data of 50 patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who received axitinib combined with toripalimab were retrospectively collected from the database of Peking University Cancer Hospital. ORR, DCR, PFS, and OS were analyzed. Results: Among the 50 patients, 37 were males; median age was 56 (22-73) years; 38 were pathologically diagnosed as clear cell renal cell carcinoma and 12 were non-clear cell carcinoma. Common metastatic sites included lung, bone, lymph node, liver, and so on. 90% of the patients had received at least one-line of systemic therapy. With a median follow-up time of 11.9 months (0.8-24), 27 of the 50 patients are still on treatment, ORR was 34%, DCR was 86%, median PFS was 13.1 months (95%CI 5.8-20.4), and median OS has not yet reached. One-year OS rate was 84.6%. Common adverse reactions were proteinuria, diarrhea, hypertension, abnormal thyroid function, elevated transaminase, and hand-foot syndrome. Most adverse events were grade 1-2. Conclusion: Toripalimab combined with axitinib was efficient in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma, and had manageable adverse reactions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The Australian Health Economics Model of Osteoporosis (AusHEMO) has shown good face, internal and cross validities, and can be used to assist healthcare decision-making in Australia. PURPOSE This study aimed to document and validate the risk engine of the Australian Health Economics Model of Osteoporosis (AusHEMO). METHODS AusHEMO is a state-transition microsimulation model. The fracture risks were simulated using fracture incidence rates from the Dubbo Osteoporosis Epidemiology Study. The AusHEMO was validated regarding its face, internal and cross validities. Goodness-of-fit analysis was conducted and Lin's coefficient of agreement and mean absolute difference with 95% limits of agreement were reported. RESULTS The development of AusHEMO followed general and osteoporosis-specific health economics guidelines. AusHEMO showed good face validity regarding the model's structure, evidence, problem formulation and results. In addition, the model has been proven good internal and cross validities in goodness-of-fit test. Lin's coefficient was 0.99, 1 and 0.94 for validation against the fracture incidence rates, Australian life expectancies and residual lifetime fracture risks, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the development of the risk engine of AusHEMO followed the best practice for osteoporosis disease modelling and the model has been shown to have good face, internal and cross validities. The AusHEMO can be confidently used to predict long-term fracture-related outcomes and health economic evaluations when costs data are included. Health policy-makers in Australia can use the AusHEMO to select which osteoporosis interventions such as medications and public health interventions represent good value for money.

Abstract
UNLABELLED An earlier systematic review on interventions to improve adherence and persistence was updated. Fifteen studies investigating the effectiveness of patient education, drug regimen, monitoring and supervision, and interdisciplinary collaboration as a single or multi-component intervention were appraised. Multicomponent interventions with active patient involvement were more effective. INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to update a systematic literature review on interventions to improve adherence to anti-osteoporosis medications. METHODS A systematic literature review was carried out in Medline (using PubMed), Embase (using Ovid), Cochrane Library, Current Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov , NHS Centre for Review and Dissemination, CINHAL, and PsycINFO to search for original studies that assessed interventions to improve adherence (comprising initiation, implementation, and discontinuation) and persistence to anti-osteoporosis medications among patients with osteoporosis, published between July 2012 and December 2018. Quality of included studies was assessed. RESULTS Of 585 studies initially identified, 15 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria of which 12 were randomized controlled trials. Interventions were classified as (1) patient education (n = 9), (2) drug regimen (n = 3), (3) monitoring and supervision (n = 2), and (4) interdisciplinary collaboration (n = 1). In most subtypes of interventions, mixed results on adherence (and persistence) were found. Multicomponent interventions based on patient education and counseling were the most effective interventions when aiming to increase adherence and/or persistence to osteoporosis medications. CONCLUSION This updated review suggests that patient education, monitoring and supervision, change in drug regimen, and interdisciplinary collaboration have mixed results on medication adherence and persistence, with more positive effects for multicomponent interventions with active patient involvement. Compared with the previous review, a shift towards more patient involvement, counseling and shared decision-making, was seen, suggesting that individualized solutions, based on collaboration between the patient and the healthcare provider, are needed to improve adherence and persistence to osteoporosis medications.

UNLABELLED The multidisciplinary co-management program for geriatric patients with hip fracture is cost-effective in the Chinese population and it has the potential to be scaled up in China. INTRODUCTION The study aimed to investigate the cost-effectiveness of a multidisciplinary co-management program for patients with hip fracture in China. METHODS Hip fracture patients who were admitted to an orthopedic hospital in Beijing were included in the multidisciplinary co-management program. The cost-effectiveness of intervention was evaluated compared to the conventional management. A Markov microsimulation model was developed to simulate lifetime costs and effectiveness. Costs including intervention, hospitalization, medications, and long-term care costs were expressed using 2019 US dollars and the healthcare perspective was adopted. Effectiveness was evaluated using both 1-year mortality-averted and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Costs and effectiveness were discounted at 5% per annum. The willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold was set at $26,481 per QALY gained which was three times gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in China. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted. RESULTS The lifetime cost for the conventional management (n = 1839) and intervention group (n = 1192) was $11,975 and $13,309 respectively. The lifetime QALYs were 2.38 and 2.45 years and the first-year mortality was 17.8% and 16.1%. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $19,437 per QALY gained or $78,412 per 1-year mortality-averted. Given the Chinese WTP threshold, the intervention had a 78% chance being cost-effective. The cost-effectiveness of the intervention was sensitive to cost of intervention and the proportion of patients who underwent surgery within 48 h. CONCLUSIONS The multidisciplinary co-management program for patients with hip fracture is cost-effective and it has the potential to be scaled up in the Chinese population.

Abstract
Background To study the benefits of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in addition to surgical resection and postoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with stage IB2 or IIA cervical cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 363 patients with stage IB2 or IIA cervical cancer that received the surgical resection and postoperative CRT with or without NACT at the Second Hospital of Jilin University between February 2014 and December 2016. We chose mortality as the primary outcome, and the clinical deterioration as secondary outcome. These outcomes were compared between two groups of patients with or without NACT by univariate or multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Among the 363 identified patients, 114 patients were in the neoadjuvant group and 249 patients in the non-neoadjuvant group. The median follow-up period was 36.4 months, ranging from 28 to 55 months. There were statistically significant differences in the tumor differentiation, clinical stages, vascular tumor thrombus, and postoperative radiotherapy between these two group patients. After adjusting for these variables, patients in the neoadjuvant group had a statistically significantly lower survival rate than those in the non-neoadjuvant group within one year after the treatment, but this difference disappeared at the 3-year follow-up period. Also, more patients in the neoadjuvant group experienced clinical deterioration at the 3-year follow-up period. Conclusions NACT did not show significant benefits in mortality and clinical deterioration in patients with stage IB2 or IIA cervical cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ovarian cancer is responsible for a significant number of deaths in women and there is urgent need to develop efficient treatment strategies for this disease. Studies have shown microRNAs (miRs) are involved in diverse cellular processes and exhibit therapeutic implications. Herein, the role of miR-375 in ovarian cancer was explored. METHODS OVACAR-3 cell line was mainly used in this research. Expression analysis was performed by qRT-PCR. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Cell cycle analysis was carried out by flow cytometry. Transwell assay was used for cell migration and invasion. Western blot analysis was used to determine the protein expression. RESULTS Gene expression analysis carried out by qRT-PCR of ovarian cancer cell lines and tissues revealed significant downregulation of miR-375. Ectopic expression of miR-375 halted the growth of the OVACAR-3 cells by triggering G2/M cell cycle arrest. Moreover, miR-375 also caused a significant decrease in the migratory and invasive potential of the OAVACAR-3 cells and enhanced their chemosensitivity to cisplatin. Bioinformatic analysis and the dual luciferase showed that miR-375 targets PAX2 in OVACAR-3 cells. Suppression of PAX2 inhibits the growth of the OVACAR-3 cells while PAX2 overexpression could avoid the growth inhibitory effects of miR-375 in OVACAR-3 cells. CONCLUSION miR-375 may prove to be an important therapeutic target in ovarian cancer and warrants further research endeavors.

Abstract
The metastasis of cervical carcinoma is associated with the lymphovascular spread. The primary objective of the present study was to determine the prognostic value of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) in patients with early-stage cervical cancer in Jilin, China.In this retrospective cohort study, patients with early-stage cervical cancer (stage IB-IIA) at the Second Hospital of Jilin University from February 2014 to December 2016 were included in the analysis. All included participants underwent radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy. LVSI was identified by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The primary outcomes are overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Kaplan-Meier curves were used to calculate the patient's survival. Survival was compared using the log-rank test, while risk factors for the prognosis were assessed by Cox regression analysis.The incidence of LVSI was positively associated with the depth of stromal invasion (P = .009) and lymph node metastasis (LNM, P < .001). LVSI is an independent factor that affects OS (P = .009) and PFS (P = .006) in patients with early stage cervical cancer. LNM status is an independent factor that affects postoperative OS (P = .005).The incidence of lymphatic vessel infiltration is positively associated with the depth of stromal invasion and LNM. LVSI is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of early cervical cancer. The results suggest that further large-scale studies are needed to improve the treatment for patients with LVSI.

Abstract
Locally advanced cervical carcinoma has a poor prognosis. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) can reduce tumor size and improve tumor resection rate, but its use in large locally advanced cervical carcinoma is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the treatment and prognosis of NACT in patients with cervical carcinoma stage IB2 or IIA2.This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent type-C radical surgery and pelvic lymphadenectomy due to cervical carcinoma stage IB2/IIA2 between 2/2014 and 12/2016 at the Second Hospital of Jilin University. The patients were grouped according to whether they received NACT (paclitaxel and a platinum salt) or not. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between the 2 groups.Of the 144 patients, 60 (41.7%) received NACT. A total of 119 patients underwent postoperative radiation therapy, of which 97 received radiation therapy alone and 22 received concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The adverse reactions in the NACT group were mainly hematologic toxic reactions, but were tolerated. No grade ≥III adverse reactions were observed. NACT did not significantly affect the PFS (P = .453) and OS (P = .933) between the 2 groups. No factor was found to be independently associated with OS or PFS (all P > .05).Compared with patients who underwent surgery with/without radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, NACT using paclitaxel and a platinum salt does not improve the prognosis and lymph node metastasis rate of locally advanced cervical carcinoma in Chinese patients.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is one the prevalent cancers in women and is responsible for 5% of all the cancer related mortalities in women. Owing to late diagnosis, frequent relapses, side effects of chemotherapy, development of drug resistance, there is pressing need to screen out novel and effective treatment options. Accumulating evidences suggest that miRNAs may prove essential therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer. This study was designed to investigate the role and therapeutic potential of miR-34 in ovarian cancer. It was found that miR-34 is significantly downregulated in ovarian cancer cell lines. Overexpression of miR-34 causes significant decrease in the proliferation of OVACAR-3 ovarian cancer cells via activation of apoptosis and autophagy. The miR-34 overexpression was concomitant with upsurge of apoptosis related proteins (Bax) and the autophagy associated protein (LC3 II and p62). TargetScan analysis showed Notch 1 to be the main target of miR-34 in OVACAR-3 cells which was further validated by luciferase reporter assay. The qRT-PCR results showed Notch 1 to be 3.2-4.1 fold higher in the ovarian cancer cell lines relative to the non-cancerous cells. Nonetheless, miR-34 overexpression in OVACAR-3 cells resulted in the post-transcriptional suppression of Notch 1 expression. Silencing of Notch 1 also caused inhibition of OVACAR-3 cell proliferation via induction of apoptosis and autophagy. Overexpression of Notch 1 could partially rescue the effects of miR-34 overexpression on the proliferation of OVACAR-3 cells. Moreover, overexpression of miR-34 causes significant inhibition of the invasion of the OVACAR-3 cells. The findings of the present study indicate the tumor suppressive role of miR-34 in ovarian cancer and may therefore prove to be a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ovarian cancer causes significant mortality in women and is one of the most prevalent types of gynaecological cancer world over. Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages and the currently used anticancer drugs produce several adverse effects. Herein, we examined the anticancer effects of a natural flavonoid Kaempferol against a panel of ovarian cancer cells. METHODS WST-1 and colony formations assays were used to examine the anti-proliferative effects of Kaempferol. AO/EB, DAPI and annexin V/PI staining assays were used to check apoptosis. Cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry and western blotting was used to check the expression of the proteins. RESULTS The results showed that Kaempferol could inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells with IC50 ranging between 25 to 50 µM. However, the cytotoxic effects of Kaempferol were comparatively negligible against the normal SV40 cells with an IC50 of >120 µM. Exploration of the mechanism of action revealed that Kaempferol exerts growth inhibitory effects on the OVACAR-3 ovarian cancer cells by apoptotic cell death. This was also accompanied with upregulation of apoptotic proteins such as caspase 3, 8 and 9 and Bax. Kaempferol also induced arrest of the OVACAR-3 cells at the G2/M check point of the cell cycle. In addition, Kaempferol could also inhibit the MEK/ERK and STAT3 signal transduction pathways. CONCLUSION Taken together, these results suggest that Kaempferol exerts potent anticancer effects on ovarian cancer cells and may prove useful in the management of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BRAF inhibitors substantially have impressive clinical efficacy in cutaneous melanoma. However, their role in acral and mucosal melanoma remains unclear. Records were reviewed of patients with metastatic or unresectable BRAF-mutant acral and mucosal melanoma hospitalized and administrated BRAF inhibitors during January 2011 and March 2016. Clinical data were collected to determine PFS, ORR, DCR, OS, and safety. Among 28 acral and 12 mucosal melanoma patients treated with BRAF inhibitors, median PFS were 3.6 (95%CI 3.0-6.4) and 4.4 (95%CI 0.8-12.7) months, median OS were 6.2 (95%CI 6.1-12.1) and 8.2 (95%CI 6.6-19.9) months; ORRs were 38.1% and 20.0%, DCRs were 81.0% and 70.0% in acral and mucosal melanoma, respectively. BRAF inhibitors were well tolerated. The most common adverse effects (AEs) were cutaneous and hematological. Grade 3/4 AEs were relatively rare. In conclusion, BRAF inhibitors have acceptable efficacy and good tolerance in BRAF mutant acral and mucosal melanoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of cod-liver oil on metabolic status and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS This study was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with the allocation ratio of 1 : 1. The contents of EPA and DHA in cod-liver oil were measured using a gas chromatograph. A total of 550 GDM patients were randomly divided into the intervention group (cod-liver oil) and the control group (placebo, mineral oil), and both groups were given regular dietary care. Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour plasma glucose (2hPG), lipid profiles, homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and hs-CRP were measured. Primary outcomes were different in HbA1c, FPG, 2hPG, and HOMA-IR between the two groups after 4-week randomization. Secondary outcomes were the blood glucose levels and perinatal complications (pregnancy-induced hypertension, polyhydramnios, premature delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, postpartum infection, premature rupture of membranes, and cesarean section) between the two groups before and after 12-16 weeks of cod-liver oil intervention from middle pregnancy to late pregnancy. RESULTS EPA and DHA were the main components of cod-liver oil with 76 mg/mL and 150 mg/mL, respectively. There was no significant difference for primary outcomes in the levels of HbA1c, FPG, 2hPG, HOMA-IR, and lipid profiles between the two groups (P > 0.05). For the secondary outcomes, the levels of HbA1c, FPG, 2hPG, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LDL-C), HOMA-IR, and hs-CRP in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of perinatal complications in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group too (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cod-liver oil consumption effectively reduced the levels of blood glucose, lipid levels, hs-CRP, and HOMA-IR and the incidence of perinatal complications.

Abstract
Economic evaluations are increasingly used to assess the value of health interventions, but variable quality and heterogeneity limit the use of these evaluations by decision-makers. These recommendations provide guidance for the design, conduct, and reporting of economic evaluations in osteoporosis to improve their transparency, comparability, and methodologic standards. INTRODUCTION This paper aims to provide recommendations for the conduct of economic evaluations in osteoporosis in order to improve their transparency, comparability, and methodologic standards. METHODS A working group was convened by the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis to make recommendations for the design, conduct, and reporting of economic evaluations in osteoporosis, to define an osteoporosis-specific reference case to serve a minimum standard for all economic analyses in osteoporosis, to discuss methodologic challenges and initiate a call for research. A literature review, a face-to-face meeting in New York City (including 11 experts), and a review/approval by a larger group of experts worldwide (including 23 experts in total) were conducted. RESULTS Recommendations on the type of economic evaluation, methods for economic evaluation, modeling aspects, base-case analysis and population, excess mortality, fracture costs and disutility, treatment characteristics, and model validation were provided. Recommendations for reporting economic evaluations in osteoporosis were also made and an osteoporosis-specific checklist was designed that includes items to report when performing an economic evaluation in osteoporosis. Further, 12 minimum criteria for economic evaluations in osteoporosis were identified and 12 methodologic challenges and need for further research were discussed. CONCLUSION While the working group acknowledges challenges and the need for further research, these recommendations are intended to supplement general and national guidelines for economic evaluations, improve transparency, quality, and comparability of economic evaluations in osteoporosis, and maintain methodologic standards to increase their use by decision-makers.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the role of CDKN1A in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Related gene expression data screened from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were processed with network analysis. Protein-protein interaction was analysed through string database. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to measure mRNA and microRNA expression. Cell proliferation and cell cycle were tested by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Transwell migration and invasion assay was used to test cell migration and invasion. CDKN1A screened by bioinformatics methods showed differential expression in RA cells compared with healthy controls (HC), and was at an important position in the protein-protein interaction network of RA. Compared with the HC group, CDKN1A was down-regulated in human RA synovium tissues and human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (HFLS). Contrary to CDKN1A silencing, CDKN1A over-expression significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of HFLS-RA, arrested HFLS-RA in G0/G1 phase and down-regulated the expressions of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6, while it up-regulated the expression of IL-10. CDKN1A over-expression could also suppress phosphorylated signal transducers and activators of transcription 1 (pSTAT-1) expression. MiR-146a, highly expressed in RA tissues, could regulate CDKN1A negatively. Anti-146a suppressed cell proliferation and invasion, and at the same time enhanced IL-10 expression but inhibited IL-6, TNF-α and pSTAT-1 expression. The results indicated that CDKN1A over-expression, which could be enhanced by miR-146a suppression, inhibited the proliferation of invasion in HFLS-RA. This was probably a result of suppressed pSTAT-1, IL-6 and TNF-α expression and enhanced IL-10 expression.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the impact of first-line chemotherapy on renal function in patients with unresectable/metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC). Methods: A total of 222 (130 males and 92 females) unresectable/metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients were included in the study between January 2005 and May 2017, with age of 29 to 87 (62.4±10.1) years old. The serum creatinine level and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were compared before and after first-line chemotherapy. And predictive factors for decreased renal function were analyzed in logistic regression model. Results: After the first-line chemotherapy, the average serum creatinine level increased, with a median changing value of 1.5 μmol/L. Howerver, the eGFR improved, with a median changing value of 0.5 ml·min-1· (1.73 m2)-1, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). In 149 patients who were treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy, the average serum creatinine level increased by 1.31 μmol/L and eGFR improved by 0.14 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1, but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In multivariate logistic regression model, age more than and equal to 60 years old (OR=0.88, P=0.745) and cisplatin-based chemotherapy (OR=0.95, P=0.893) did not increase the risk of renal dysfunction after first-line chemotherapy. If the time interval between surgery and first-line chemotherapy was more than 1 year, the risk of renal dysfunction due to chemotherapy decreased (OR=0.54, P=0.196). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) Scale≥1 (OR=1.81, P=0.131), anemia before treatment (OR=1.14, P=0.764), the cycles of first-line chemotherapy (OR=1.41, P=0.398) may lead to increase the risk of renal dysfunction, but the differences were not statistically significant. However in the patients who accepted nephrectomy, the risk of renal dysfunction after chemotherapy increased, but the difference was still not statistically significant (OR=3.06, P=0.089). Conclusions: First-line chemotherapy, especially the cisplatin-based regimen, had no significant impact on renal function in the patients with UTUC. Nephrectomy maybe a predictive risk factor for decreased renal function after chemotherapy. Adequate assessment of renal function before treatment, hydration and close monitoring during chemotherapy can effectively protect renal function of the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our study was aimed at detecting the expression levels of miR-206 in prostate cancer (PCa) tissues and PCa cell lines, and exploring the potential functions of miR-206 by targeting chemokine ligand 11 (CXCL11). METHODS RT-qPCR was applied to detect the expressions of miR-206 and CXCL11 in PCa tissues and in PCa cell lines. Expression of the CXCL11 protein was detected using Western blot. After manipulating the expression of miR-206 and CXCL11 in PC-3 and DU-145 cells, the changes of cell proliferation and cell cycle were observed through cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry. Wound healing and transwell assay were conducted for cell migration and invasion examination in vitro. The luciferase reporter assay was applied to validate the association between miR-206 and CXCL11. RESULTS MiR-206 was significantly under-expressed in PCa tissues and in PCa cell lines. Up-regulation of miR-206 could inhibit proliferation, migration, invasion and induced G1/G0 arrest of PCa cells, and vice versa. MiR-206 bound to the 3'-UTR of CXCL11 and significantly repressed the luciferase activity. Overexpression of miR-206 decreased the expression level of CXCL11 significantly. CXCL11 mRNA and protein levels were significantly decreased in PCa cells. Downregulation of CXCL11 presented tumor-suppressing effects on PCa cells as miR-206 mimics did. And co-transfection miR-206 attenuated the tumor-promoting effects induced by CXCL11 overexpression. CONCLUSION Our current finding demonstrated that miR-206 negatively regulated PCa cell proliferation and migration, and arrested cell cycle by targeting CXCL11 as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer.

Abstract
Lycium barbarum L. (LBL) has beneficial effects on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) but the related mechanism remains unclear. Polysaccharides of LBL (LBLP) are the main bioactive components of LBL. miR-33, ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and sterol regulatory element-binding transcription 1 (SREBF1) affect lipid profiles, which are associated with GDM risk. LBLP may exert protective against GDM by affecting these molecules. Four LBLP fractions: LBLP-I, LBLP-II, LBLP-III, and LBLP-IV were isolated from LBL and further purified by using DEAE-Sephadex column. The effects of purified each fraction on pancreatic beta cells were comparatively evaluated. A total of 158 GDM patients were recruited and randomly divided into LBL group (LG) and placebo group (CG). miR-33 levels, lipid profiles, insulin resistance and secretory functions were measured. The association between serum miR-33 levels and lipid profiles were evaluated by using Spearman's rank-order correlation test. After 4-week therapy, LBL reduced miR-33 level, insulin resistance and increased insulin secretion of GDM patients. LBL increased the levels of ABCA1, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and reduced miR-33, SREBF1, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and malondialdehyde. Homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function and insulin resistance was lower in LG than in CG, whereas homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function and insulin secretory function was higher in LG than in CG. There was a strong positive association between miR-33 level and TG, or TC and or LDL-C, and a strong negative association between miR-33 level and HDL-C. The levels of miR-33 had negative relation with ABCA1 and positive relation with SREBF1. ABCA1 has negative relation with TG, TC, and LDL-C and positive relation with HDL-C. Inversely, SREBF1 had positive relation with TG, TC, and LDL-C and negative relation with HDL-C. The main bioactive compound LBLP-IV of LBL increased insulin secretion of beta cells and the levels of ABCA1, and reduced miR-33 levels and SREBF1 in beta cells. However, LBLP-IV could not change the levels of these molecules anymore when miR-33 was overexpressed or silenced. LBLP-IV had the similar effects with LBL on beta cells while other components had no such effects. Thus, LBLP-IV from LBL improves lipid profiles by upregulating ABCA1 and downregulating SREBF1 via miR-33.

Abstract
Proteins in the LIPIN family play key roles in lipid synthesis mainly on triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis, and they also act as transcriptional coactivators to regulate the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism with other nuclear factors. Hence, this study was designed to investigate LIPIN1 in pig oocytes and embryos by the delipidation. After delipidation, the content of lipids (LDs) and TAG in MII oocyte was significantly reduced; however, a similar increasing tendency of TAG was shown during embryos development. Subsequently, the expression of genes related to TAG biosynthesis including GPAT1, AGPAT1, AGPAT2, LIPIN1, DGAT and the nuclear factors interacted with LIPIN1 including PPARα and PPARγ was investigated. It is obvious that DGAT and GPAT1, and LIPIN1 increased significantly after delipidation at 1-cell and 4-cell stage, and the expression of PPARα and PPARγ also increased at 4-cell stage. By immunofluorescence staining and Western blots, LIPIN1 was found to exhibit a dynamic localization pattern and gradually increase with the development of delipated embryo. In the early developmental stages (1-, 2- and 4-cell stages), it was distributed over the cortical layer. But at the blastocyst stage, a homogeneous distribution of LIPIN1 was observed in cytoplasm. At 2-cell stage, the expression of PPARα decreased when LIPIN1 was interfered by small interfering RNA, but PPARγ has no significant difference. Therefore, in this study, we find after delipidation, the content of TAG and LIPIN1 will gradually increase during embryo development and nuclear factor PPARα and PPARγ can also be affected by delipidation. The interaction of LIPIN1 and PPARα exists in porcine embryo.
