Abstract
Enterovirus G (EV-G) has recently been shown to affect weight gain and cause neurological symptoms in piglets. However, the serological investigation of EV-G is limited. In this study, we developed a novel serological detection method based on the structural protein, VP1 of EV-G. The intra-assay and inter-assay coefficient variations were 3.2-8.9% and 2.6-8.0%, respectively. There was no cross-reaction of the VP1-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with antisera against the other known porcine viruses. In addition, a comparison was made with other methods including the developed indirect ELISAs based on VP2 and VP3 proteins and western blot (WB) analysis, which demonstrated the reliability of the novel method. Using the VP1-based ELISA, we carried out the first seroepidemiological survey of EV-G in China by testing 1041 serum samples collected from different pig farms in Guangxi from 2019 to 2021. Our results showed that 68.78% of the serum samples and 100% of the pig farms were positive for EV-G, with a relatively high incidence of seropositivity in pigs of different ages. This was specifically evident in fattening pigs and sows, which may suggest that the piglets have experienced an infection with EV-G during their growth process. Our data provide the first serological evidence of EV-G infections in pigs from China and reveal the widespread presence of EV-G infections in Guangxi, China.

Abstract
Potassium-sulfur (K-S) batteries are severely limited by the sluggish kinetics of the solid-phase conversion of K2S3/K2S2 to K2S, the rate-determining and performance-governing step, which urgently requires a cathode with facilitated sulfur accommodation and improved catalytic efficiency. To this end, we leverage the orbital-coupling approach and herein report a strong d-π coupling catalytic configuration of single-atom Co anchored between two alkynyls of graphdiyne (Co-GDY). The d-π orbital coupling of the Co-C4 moiety fully redistributes electrons two-dimensionally across the GDY, and as a result, drastically accelerates the solid-phase K2S3/K2S2 to K2S conversion and enhances the adsorption of sulfur species. Applied as the cathode, the S/Co-GDY delivered a record-high rate performance of 496.0 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 in K-S batteries. In situ and ex situ characterizations coupling density functional theory (DFT) calculations rationalize how the strong d-π orbital coupling of Co-C4 configuration promotes the reversible solid-state transformation kinetics of potassium polysulfide for high-performance K-S batteries.

Abstract
The slow kinetics of cathodic oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) in fuel cells and the high cost of commercial Pt-based catalysts limit their large-scale application. Cu-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received increasing attention as a promising ORR catalyst due to their high atom utilization, high thermodynamic activity, adjustable electronic structure, and low cost. Herein, the recent research progress of Cu-based catalysts is reviewed from single atom to polymetallic active sites for ORR. First, the design and synthesis method of Cu-based SACs are summarized. Then the atomic-level structure regulation strategy of Cu-based catalyst is proposed to improve the ORR performance. The different ORR catalytic mechanism based on the different Cu active sites is further revealed. Finally, the design principle of high-performance Cu-based SACs is proposed for ORR and the opportunities and challenges are further prospected.

Abstract
In 2022, American Urological Association updated the guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). A significant change has been made in treatment recommendations. The updated guideline no longer divided treatments into first-line through sixth-line tiers. Instead, treatment is categorized into behavioral/non-pharmacologic, oral medicines, bladder instillations, procedures, and major surgery. This change emphasizes the heterogeneity of IC/BPS patients and the importance of individualized treatment, overturns traditional unreasonable ideas about hierarchical and progressive treatment, and encourages patients and physicians to make treatment decisions together. At the same time, the panel emphasized the importance of early implementation of cystoscopy in patients suspected of Hunner lesions and warned against the possibility of pentosan polysulfate causing a unique retinal pigmentary maculopathy. Urinary reconstruction surgery was considered to only be used as a last resort for the treatment of IC/BPS, and there is uncertainty about the overall balance between benefits and risks/burdens. The updated guideline provides a new understanding and decision-making basis for the diagnosis and treatment of IC/BPS. However, it should be noted that the clinical characteristics of Chinese patients should be considered in practice and the application of the guideline should be localized.

Abstract
Complete ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in C1 pathway with 12 transferred electrons is highly desirable yet challenging in direct ethanol fuel cells. Herein, PtRh jagged nanowires synthesized via a simple wet-chemical approach exhibit exceptional EOR mass activity of 1.63 A mgPt-1 and specific activity of 4.07 mA cm-2 , 3.62-fold and 4.28-folds increments relative to Pt/C, respectively. High proportions of 69.33% and 73.42% of initial activity are also retained after chronoamperometric test (80 000 s) and 1500 consecutive potential cycles, respectively. More importantly, it is found that PtRh jagged nanowires possess superb anti-CO poisoning capability. Combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as well as density functional theory calculations unveil that the remarkable catalytic activity and CO tolerance stem from both the Rh-induced electronic effect and geometric effect (manifested by shortened Pt─Pt bond length and shrinkage of lattice constants), which facilitates EOR catalysis in C1 pathway and improves reaction kinetics by reducing energy barriers of rate-determining steps (such as *CO → *COOH). The C1 pathway efficiency of PtRh jagged nanowires is further verified by the high intensity of CO2 relative to CH3 COOH/CH3 CHO in infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy.

Abstract
Climate dictates wildfire activity around the world. But East and Southeast Asia are an apparent exception as fire-activity variation there is unrelated to climatic variables. In subtropical China, fire activity decreased by 80% between 2003 and 2020 amid increased fire risks globally. Here, we assessed the fire regime, vegetation structure, fuel flammability and their interactions across subtropical Hubei, China. We show that tree basal area (TBA) and fuel flammability explained 60% of fire-frequency variance. Fire frequency and fuel flammability, in turn, explained 90% of TBA variance. These results reveal a novel system of scrubland-forest stabilized by vegetation-fire feedbacks. Frequent fires promote the persistence of derelict scrubland through positive vegetation-fire feedbacks; in forest, vegetation-fire feedbacks are negative and suppress fire. Thus, we attribute the decrease in wildfire activity to reforestation programs that concurrently increase forest coverage and foster negative vegetation-fire feedbacks that suppress wildfire.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab in the treatment of driver gene-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 1 241 patients with driver gene-negative, unresectable stage ⅢB to Ⅳ non-small cell lung cancer who were treated at the Hunan Cancer Hospital from January 1, 2017 to October 1, 2022. All patients received monotherapy or combination therapy with domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors or pembrolizumab. Among the 1 241 patients, there were 1 066 males and 175 females, with an age range of 14 to 84 years and a median age of 62 years. Among them, 67 patients received monotherapy with domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors, 695 patients received combination therapy with domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors, 102 patients received monotherapy with pembrolizumab, and 377 patients received combination therapy with pembrolizumab. The efficacy and safety of domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab monotherapy or combination therapy were compared. Results: In the immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy group, the objective response rate (ORR) using domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab was 43.3%(29/67) and 44.1%(45/102), respectively, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 79.1%(53/67) and 84.3%(86/102), respectively, with no statistically significant differences (both P>0.05). In the immune combination therapy group, the ORR using domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab was 60.9%(423/695) and 62.9%(237/377), respectively, and the DCR was 92.9%(646/695) and 91.0%(343/377), respectively, with no statistically significant differences (both P>0.05). In the immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy group, the median progression-free survival (PFS) using domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab was 9.0 (95%CI: 3.0-15.0) months and 7.4 (95%CI: 4.8-9.8) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.660). The median overall survival (OS) was 27.0 (95%CI: 25.0-29.0) months and 22.0 (95%CI: 17.1-26.9) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.673). In the immune combination therapy group, the median PFS using domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab was 9.0 (95%CI: 8.2-9.8) months and 10.5 (95%CI: 9.0-12.0) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.186). The median OS was 24.0 (95%CI: 19.1-28.9) months and 26.0 (95%CI: 21.3-30.7) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.359). The incidence of grade 1-2 reactive capillary proliferation of the skin in the domestic immune checkpoint inhibitor group and pembrolizumab group was 14.0% (107/762) and 0, respectively. The incidence of grade≥3 reactive capillary proliferation of the skin was 1.0% (7/762) and 0, respectively, with statistically significant differences (both P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in other adverse reactions (all P>0.05). Conclusions: The efficacy of domestically produced immune checkpoint inhibitors is comparable to that of pembrolizumab in the treatment of driver gene-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer. There is little difference in safety, except for the specific difference in domestically produced immune checkpoint inhibitor, which has a unique risk of reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation.

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

Abstract
Electrocatalysis underpins the renewable electrochemical conversions for sustainability, which further replies on metallic nanocrystals as vital electrocatalysts. Intermetallic nanocrystals have been known to show distinct properties compared to their disordered counterparts, and been long explored for functional improvements. Tremendous progresses have been made in the past few years, with notable trend of more precise engineering down to an atomic level and the investigation transferring into more practical membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which motivates this timely review. After addressing the basic thermodynamic and kinetic fundamentals, we discuss classic and latest synthetic strategies that enable not only the formation of intermetallic phase but also the rational control of other catalysis-determinant structural parameters, such as size and morphology. We also demonstrate the emerging intermetallic nanomaterials for potentially further advancement in energy electrocatalysis. Then, we discuss the state-of-the-art characterizations and representative intermetallic electrocatalysts with emphasis on oxygen reduction reaction evaluated in a MEA setup. We summarize this review by laying out existing challenges and offering perspective on future research directions toward practicing intermetallic electrocatalysts for energy conversions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational exposure to environmental chemicals (ECs) is associated with adverse, sex-specific offspring health effects of global concern. As the maternal steroid, cytokine and oxidative stress milieus can have critical effects on pregnancy outcomes and the programming of diseases in offspring, it is important to study the impact of real-life EC exposure, i.e., chronic low levels of mixtures of ECs on these milieus. Sheep exposed to biosolids, derived from human waste, is an impactful model representing the ECs humans are exposed to in real-life. Offspring of sheep grazed on biosolids-treated pasture are characterized by reproductive and metabolic disruptions. OBJECTIVE To determine if biosolids exposure disrupts the maternal steroid, cytokine and oxidative stress milieus, in a fetal sex-specific manner. METHODS Ewes were maintained before mating and through gestation on pastures fertilized with biosolids (BTP), or inorganic fertilizer (Control). From maternal plasma collected mid-gestation, 19 steroids, 14 cytokines, 6 oxidative stress markers were quantified. Unpaired t-test and ANOVA were used to test for differences between control and BTP groups (n = 15/group) and between groups based on fetal sex, respectively. Correlation between the different markers was assessed by Spearman correlation. RESULTS Concentrations of the mineralocorticoids - deoxycorticosterone, corticosterone, the glucocorticoids - deoxycortisol, cortisol, cortisone, the sex steroids - androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone, 16-OH-progesterone and reactive oxygen metabolites were higher in the BTP ewes compared to Controls, while the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-17A and anti-inflammatory IL-36RA were decreased in the BTP group. BTP ewes with a female fetus had lower levels of IP-10. DISCUSSION These findings suggest that pre-conceptional and gestational exposure to ECs in biosolids increases steroids, reactive oxygen metabolites and disrupts cytokines in maternal circulation, likely contributors to the aberrant phenotypic outcomes seen in offspring of BTP sheep - a translationally relevant precocial model.

Abstract
Although dispersing Pt atomic clusters (ACs) on a conducting support is a promising way to minimize the Pt amount required in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the catalytic mass activity and durability of Pt ACs are often unsatisfactory for alkaline HER due to their unfavorable water dissociation and challenges in stabilizing them against agglomeration and detachment. Herein, we report a class of single-atom Cr-N4 sites with high oxophilicity interfaced with Pt ACs on mesoporous carbon for achieving a highly active and stable alkaline HER in an anion-exchange-membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE). The as-made catalyst achieves the highest reported Pt mass activity (37.6 times higher than commercial Pt/C) and outstanding operational stability. Experimental and theoretical studies elucidate that the formation of a unique Pt-Cr quasi-covalent bonding interaction at the interface of Cr-N4 sites and Pt ACs effectively suppresses the migration and thermal vibration of Pt atoms to stabilize Pt ACs and contributes to the greatly enhanced catalytic stability. Moreover, oxophilic Cr-N4 sites adjacent to Pt ACs with favorable adsorption of hydroxyl species facilitate nearly barrierless water dissociation and thus enhance the HER activity. An AEMWE using this catalyst (with only 50 μgPt cm-2) can operate stably at an industrial-level current density of 500 mA cm-2 at 1.8 V for >100 h with a small degradation rate of 90 μV h-1.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) There is limited outcome data specific to breast cancer spinal metastases following spine SBRT. This study aims to report outcomes specific to breast cancer spinal metastases receiving spine SBRT and determine the implication of biomarker status. MATERIALS/METHODS We have been maintaining a prospective database since the inception of the spine SBRT program. A retrospective review identified 168 breast cancer patients with 409 spinal segments treated with spine SBRT between January 2008 and January 2023. Molecular subtypes were grouped based on luminal A, luminal B, basal, and HER2 enriched. Patients were followed with q3-monthly full-spine MRI and a clinical assessment. The primary endpoint was MRI-based local failure (LF), and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and vertebral compression fracture (VCF). RESULTS The median follow-up was 33 months (range, 3.3-123 months). Amongst the 168 patients, the majority were ECOG 0 or 1 (95%), neurologically intact (94%), polymetastatic (74%), and either luminal A (71%) or luminal B (8%). A total of 17% of patients were HER2+ve versus 83% HER2-ve. Of 409 treated segments the majority (76%) had no prior radiation or surgery (de novo), were SINS stable (60%), had either no or low-grade epidural disease (86%) and treated with 24-28 Gy in 2 fractions (73%). The LF and OS rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 5%, 11%, and 14%, respectively, and 91%, 65%, and 45%, respectively, independent of molecular subtype on univariate analyses. The cumulative risk of VCF at 2 and 5 years was 7% and 10%, respectively. CONCLUSION We observe, in the largest breast cancer spine cohort to date, excellent long-term local control rates independent of molecular sub-group, and acceptable VCF rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anaemia is a global public health problem among children. However, few studies have examined anaemia prevalence and risk factors among Chinese children of different ages, particularly in poor rural areas. This study investigated these two aspects among children aged 6 to 23 months in poor rural areas of China. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 1132 children aged 6 to 23 months in three prefectures of the Qinba Mountains area. A finger prick blood test for haemoglobin and anaemia was conducted, along with household surveys of socio-demographic characteristics, illness characteristics, and feeding practices. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were used to determine predictors of anaemia. RESULTS Overall, 42.6% of children in the study displayed anaemia. Children aged 6 to 11 months had the highest anaemia prevalence (53.6%). Anaemia risk factors differed among age-groups and throughout the overall sample. Bivariate and multivariable regression results showed that continued breastfeeding, any history of formula feeding, and consumption of iron-rich or iron-fortified foods were prominent risk factors for anaemia. However, continued breastfeeding and any history of formula feeding had the greatest impact across age-groups (both P<0.05). CONCLUSION Anaemia remains a severe public health problem among children aged 6 to 23 months in rural China. Healthy feeding practices, nutritional health knowledge, and nutrition improvement projects are needed to reduce the burden of anaemia among children in rural areas of China.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Spinal metastases with paraspinal disease (PD) extension are known to have worse outcomes following stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Characteristics of the PD itself have not been investigated to determine the impact on outcomes such as local control, which is the purpose of this study. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively reviewed those patients who had SBRT for spinal metastases with PD disease, identified from a prospectively maintained database. Spinal metastases previously irradiated or surgical resected were excluded. The extent of PD was classified as involving the rib, neuroforamina, and muscle invasion. The gross tumor volume of PD (GTV_PD) and the clinical target volume of PD (CTV_PD) were segregated from the bony compartments based on the treatment plan contours. The outcomes of interest included the cumulative risk of local failure (LF), re-irradiation rates (ReRT), and overall survival (OS). LF and ReRT were estimated for each treated sites using the competing risk model (death as the competing risk), while OS was evaluated per patient using the Kaplan Meier method. RESULTS A total of 86 patients with 96 spinal metastases sites with PD were included. Of the 96 treated sites, 65% (62/96), 29% (28/96) and 6% (6/96) of PD spanned 1, 2, and 3 vertebral levels respectively. The median follow-up was 12.4months (range: 0.6-100months). The 6- and 12-month OS for the cohort was 81% and 51%, respectively. 33/86 (38%) patients had radioresistant cancer (gastrointestinal, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid, sarcoma, or melanoma). Involvement of rib, neuroforamina and muscle invasion were observed in 39% (37/96), 65% (62/96) and 21% (20/96) of the treated sites, respectively. Epidural disease was present in 57% (55/96) of treated sites. The median GTV_PD volume was 7cc (range: 0.3-114cc), and the median CTV_PD volume was 24cc (range: 0.4-248cc). The prescribed doses were 24 Gy/2 fractions (fx) (80%), 28 Gy/2 fx (10%) and 30 Gy/4 fx (10%). There were 84 treated sites with at least one post-treatment MRI available for LF assessment. The crude LF risk was 32% (27/84), and the 6- and 12-month cumulative LF rates were 12% and 28%, respectively. There was a trend towards an increased risk of LF when PD involved the rib (35% vs 24% at 1 year respectively, P = 0.07) and muscle (67% vs 20% at 1 year respectively; P = 0.06), but no difference in LF for neuroforamina involvement (26% vs 34% at 1 year respectively, P = 0.5). There were no differences in LF based on cancer radioresistance (P = 0.6), GTV_PD volume (P = 0.3) or CTV_PD volume (P = 0.4). Of the 96 treated sites, 14% (14/96) were re-irradiated (9 with repeat SBRT and 5 with conventional EBRT) at a median of 15 months (range: 4.7-59 months) post initial SBRT. The cumulative incidence of ReRT at 6- and 12-months were 1.2% and 7.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION PD involving adjacent rib and muscle may be associated with worse LF following SBRT. Further expansion of the cohort and dosimetric analyses are ongoing.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Spine stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) results in improved local control and pain response compared to conventional external beam radiotherapy. Consensus stipulates MRI-based delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) is critical and is based on spine segment sector involvement. The applicability of these contouring guidelines to metastases confined to the posterior elements is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the patterns of failure, as well as the safety of treating posterior element metastases when the vertebral body was intentionally excluded from the CTV. MATERIALS/METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of 605 patients and 1412 spine segments treated with spine SBRT was performed. Only treated segments involving the posterior elements alone were included for the analyses. The primary outcome was local failure, as per SPINO recommendations, and secondary outcomes included patterns of failure, toxicities. Clinical and tumor factors were reported with descriptive statistics. The cumulative risk of local failure was estimated using the Fine-Gray method, accounting for death before local failure as a competing risk. RESULTS A total of 24/605 patients and 31/1412 segments within the database were treated to the posterior elements only. Local failure occurred in 11/31 segments. The cumulative rate of local recurrence was 9.7% at 12 months and 30.8% at 24 months. Amongst local failures, the most common histologies were renal cell carcinoma (36.4%) and non-small cell lung cancer (36.4%). At baseline, 4/11 (36.4%) segments with local failure (36.4%) had epidural disease and 8/11 (72.7%) had paraspinal disease. Most local failures were treated in the de novo setting (8/11, 72.7%). 6/11 (54.5%) failed exclusively within treated CTV sectors and 5/11 (45.5%) with both treated and adjacent untreated sectors. Of these five, four had disease progression within the untreated vertebral body. No failures occurred exclusively within the untreated vertebral body. One patient (4.2%) experienced a grade 4 skin toxicity and one patient (4.2%) developed an iatrogenic Grade 1 vertebral compression fracture. CONCLUSION Posterior element alone metastases are rare. Our analyses support SBRT consensus contouring guidelines such that the vertebral body can be excluded from CTV in spinal metastases confined to the posterior elements.

Abstract
With the continuous exploration of the bioelectric effect, nanosecond and picosecond pulsed electric fields used in cancer therapy and drug introduction have attracted great attention. In this paper, an ultrashort pulsed electric field generator is proposed, which connects two photoconductive semiconductor switches in parallel to generate unipolar and bipolar pulses. We described the experimental scheme of the generator and the simulation of the radio frequency combiner. A 532 nm laser with pulse widths of 1 ns and 500 ps is used to trigger the photoconductive semiconductor switches. The experimental results show that the scheme can achieve adjustments of 357 and 720 MHz for the center frequency and the 3 dB bandwidth, respectively. The results confirm that this proposed scheme can be used for unipolar/bipolar frequency-adjustable ultra-wideband pulse generation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We report outcomes specific to a novel 3 fraction (frx) staged stereotactic radiosurgery (St-SRS) regimen designed to salvage metastases previously irradiated and considered to be at high risk of radiation necrosis (RN). MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 24 patients with 55 metastases treated with our 3 frx St-SRS approach were reviewed. Prior to each frx, patients were re-simulated and planned with a new MRI to allow for treatment adaption. The primary endpoint was the cumulative incidence of local failure (LF) and secondary endpoints included tumor dynamics and RN rates. RESULTS The median follow up was 9.0 months (range: 2.7-40.1 months) and median age was 59-years (range: 32-84). Primary cancers were of breast (44%), lung (33%), melanoma (22%), and gastro-intestinal (1%) origin. Individual metastases treated with St-SRS had initially failed surgery and post-op cavity hypofractionated SRS (HSRS) for 2/55 (4%), SRS alone for 19/55 (34%), whole brain radiation (WBRT) alone for 6/55 (11%), HSRS for 2/55 (4%), and prior SRS and WBRT exposure for 28/55 (51%). 46/55 (84%) were prescribed 8 Gy, 8 Gy, 4 Gy; 8/55 (14%) had 6 Gy, 6 Gy, 4 Gy and 1/55 (2%) had 8 Gy, 8 Gy, 6 Gy. The median number of weeks between frx was 2.6 (range: 1.0-6.8). The median of the mean and maximum target doses were 9.7 Gy (range: 5.4-11.7 Gy) and 12.4 Gy (range, 7.5-16.0 Gy) respectively. The median prescription isodose line was 62% (range: 50-85%). The mean lesion volume and diameter was 3.8cc (range: 0.05-24.8cc) and 1.6cm (range: 0.2-4.4cm), respectively. The mean percent target volume coverage, Paddick Conformality Index and Gradient Index were 100% (range: 97-100%), 0.7 (range: 0.1-0.9), and 3.2 (range: 2.5-6.7), respectively. The mean volume change between staged frxs was -4.2% (range: -69.3 to +63.1%), and based on the first and last St-SRS MRI was -10.8% (range: -86.6% to +68.7%). The crude LF rate was 27%. The median time to LF was 3.4 months (range: 1.2-7.4 months). Amongst those with a LF, 7/15 (46%) were melanoma, 6/15 (40%) HER2 positive breast cancer, 1/15 (7%) gastrointestinal and 1/15 (7%) non-small cell lung carcinoma. 8/15 (53%) had prior WBRT and SRS exposure, 1/16 (7%) surgery and cavity HSRS, 5/15 (33%) SRS alone and 1/15 (7%) WBRT alone. Only asymptomatic RN events were observed in 4/55 (7%). CONCLUSION St-SRS is a promising approach to salvage previously irradiated brain metastases, including prior SRS, with a favorable rate of RN. Tumor volume dynamics between stages can be significant warranting adaptive replanning.

Abstract
AIMS Perineural invasion (PNI) is a special type of metastasis of several cancers and has been reported as being a factor for poor prognosis in colorectal carcinoma. However, investigations of PNI in only rectal cancer and a comprehensive analysis combining meta-analyses with real-world case studies remain lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS First, articles from 2000 to 2020 concerning the relationship between PNI and rectal cancer prognoses and clinical features were meta-analysed. Subsequently, we carried out a retrospective analysis of 312 rectal cancer cases that underwent radical surgery in the real world. The incidence of PNI and the relationship between PNI and prognosis, as well as clinicopathological factors, were investigated. RESULTS The incidence of PNI was 23.09% and 33.01% in the meta-analysis and clinical cases, respectively. PNI occurred as early as stage I (2.94%). Moreover, neoadjuvant therapy significantly reduced the PNI-positive rate (20.34% versus 26.54%). Both meta-analysis and real-world clinical case studies suggested that PNI-positive patients had poorer prognoses than PNI-negative patients. We established an effective risk model consisting of T stage, differentiation and lymphovascular invasion to predict PNI in rectal cancer. CONCLUSION PNI is a poor prognostic factor for rectal cancer and could occur even in stage I. Additionally, neoadjuvant therapy could sufficiently reduce the PNI-positive rate. T stage, lymphovascular invasion and differentiation grade were independent risk factors for PNI and the risk model that included these factors could predict the probability of PNI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a standard treatment for paediatric haematological diseases, is highly associated with bloodstream infection (BSI), which may increase mortality. AIM To explore the risk factors for BSI in paediatric HSCT recipients. METHODS Three English databases and four Chinese databases were searched from inception to March 17th, 2022. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies that enrolled HSCT recipients aged ≤18 years and reported BSI risk factors. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. Using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE), certainty of body of evidence was assessed. FINDINGS Fourteen studies involving 4602 persons were included. The incidences of BSI and associated mortality in paediatric HSCT recipients were approximately 10-50% and 5-15%, respectively. Meta-analysis of all studies revealed that previous BSI before HSCT (relative effect (RE): 2.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-4.34, moderate certainty) and receiving an umbilical cord blood transplant (RE: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.22-1.97, moderate certainty) were probably associated with an increased risk of BSI. Meta-analysis of studies with low risk of bias reassured that previous BSI before HSCT probably increased the risk of BSI (RE: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.19-4.34, moderate certainty), and revealed that steroid use (RE: 2.72; 95% CI: 1.31-5.64, moderate certainty) was likely a risk factor whereas autologous HSCT was probably a protective factor of BSI (RE: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45-0.94, moderate certainty). CONCLUSION These findings could inform the management of paediatric HSCT recipients, helping identify who may benefit from prophylactic antibiotics.

Abstract
Designing efficient and durable bifunctional catalysts for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation reaction (HMFOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is desirable for the co-production of biomass-upgraded chemicals and sustainable hydrogen, which is limited by the competitive adsorption of hydroxyl species (OHads) and HMF molecules. Here, we report a class of Rh-O5/Ni(Fe) atomic site on nanoporous mesh-type layered double hydroxides with atomic-scale cooperative adsorption centers for highly active and stable alkaline HMFOR and HER catalysis. A low cell voltage of 1.48 V is required to achieve 100 mA cm-2 in an integrated electrolysis system along with excellent stability (>100 h). Operando infrared and X-ray absorption spectroscopic probes unveil that HMF molecules are selectively adsorbed and activated over the single-atom Rh sites and oxidized by in situ-formed electrophilic OHads species on neighboring Ni sites. Theoretical studies further demonstrate that the strong d-d orbital coupling interactions between atomic-level Rh and surrounding Ni atoms in the special Rh-O5/Ni(Fe) structure can greatly facilitate surface electronic exchange-and-transfer capabilities with the adsorbates (OHads and HMF molecules) and intermediates for efficient HMFOR and HER. We also reveal that the Fe sites in Rh-O5/Ni(Fe) structure can promote the electrocatalytic stability of the catalyst. Our findings provide new insights into catalyst design for complex reactions involving competitive adsorptions of multiple intermediates.

Abstract
The application of metagenomic second-generation sequencing (mNGS) is shifting from research to clinical laboratories due to rapid technological advances and significant cost reductions. Although many studies and case reports have confirmed that the success of mNGS in improving the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and tracking of infectious diseases, there are still some obstacles that must be overcome. The results of mNGS show all the possible pathogens in the sample, however, in the face of thousands of microbes that can infect humans, it remains challenging to accurately identify the key pathogens. So far, there is no unified interpretation standard for mNGS in clinical practice. This article reviews the interpretation of mNGS results for pathogen infection in different systems, the clinical interpretation and application regulations of mNGS results, and the challenges of mNGS interpretation in pathogen diagnosis.

Abstract
A novel quadrature Doppler Backscattering (DBS) system has been developed and optimized for the E-band (60-90 GHz) frequency range using either O-mode or X-mode polarization in DIII-D plasmas. In general, DBS measures the amplitude of density fluctuations and their velocity in the lab frame. The system can simultaneously monitor both low-frequency turbulence (f < 10 MHz) and radiofrequency plasma density fluctuations over a selectable frequency range (20-500 MHz). Detection of high-frequency fluctuations has been demonstrated for low harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency (e.g., 2fci ∼ 23 MHz) and externally driven high-frequency helicon waves (f = 476 MHz) using an adjustable frequency down conversion system. Importantly, this extends the application of DBS to a high-frequency spectral domain while maintaining important turbulence and flow measurement capabilities. This unique system has low phase noise, good temporal resolution (sub-millisecond), and excellent wavenumber coverage (kθ ∼ 1-20 cm-1 and kr ≲ 30 cm-1). As a demonstration, localized internal DIII-D plasma measurements are presented from turbulence (f ≤ 5 MHz), Alfvenic waves (f ∼ 6.5 MHz), ion cyclotron waves (f ≥ 20 MHz), as well as fluctuations around 476 MHz driven by an external high-power 476 MHz helicon wave antenna. In the future, helicon measurements will be used to validate GENRAY and AORSA modeling tools for prediction of helicon wave propagation, absorption, and current drive location for the newly installed helicon current drive system on DIII-D.

Abstract
Individuals with Alzheimer Disease who develop psychotic symptoms (AD + P) experience more rapid cognitive decline and have reduced indices of synaptic integrity relative to those without psychosis (AD-P). We sought to determine whether the postsynaptic density (PSD) proteome is altered in AD + P relative to AD-P, analyzing PSDs from dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of AD + P, AD-P, and a reference group of cognitively normal elderly subjects. The PSD proteome of AD + P showed a global shift towards lower levels of all proteins relative to AD-P, enriched for kinases, proteins regulating Rho GTPases, and other regulators of the actin cytoskeleton. We computationally identified potential novel therapies predicted to reverse the PSD protein signature of AD + P. Five days of administration of one of these drugs, the C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 5 inhibitor, maraviroc, led to a net reversal of the PSD protein signature in adult mice, nominating it as a novel potential treatment for AD + P.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacterial infections are common during induction therapy in children and adolescents with acute leukaemia and may cause infection-related mortality. AIM To determine the efficacy and safety of prophylactic antibiotics in paediatric patients with acute leukaemia receiving induction chemotherapy. METHODS From three English databases and four Chinese databases, we searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies that compared prophylactic antibiotics to placebo, no prophylaxis, or that compared one antibiotic versus another in paediatric patients with acute leukaemia undergoing induction chemotherapy. Two reviewers independently screened the studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias using Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and the certainty of evidence using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). FINDINGS Two RCTs and ten cohort studies were finally included. For children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, antibiotic prophylaxis, including levofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, or other antibiotics, probably reduced bacteraemia (risk ratio (RR): 0.44; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.33-0.60; moderate certainty) without significantly increasing Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) or invasive fungal infection. Levofloxacin reduced the CDI rate (RR: 0.08; 95% CI: 0.01-0.62; high certainty). Ciprofloxacin prophylaxis probably reduced infection-related mortality (RR: 0.12; 95% CI: 0.01-0.97; moderate certainty). In children with acute myeloid leukaemia, ciprofloxacin plus vancomycin may reduce febrile neutropenia (RR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.66-0.94; low certainty). Individual studies indicated that prophylaxis increased antibiotic exposure but reduced non-preventive antibiotic exposure. CONCLUSION In children with acute leukaemia undergoing induction therapy, antibiotic prophylaxis may improve the bacterial infection and mortality.

Abstract
Ruthenium chalcogenide is a highly promising catalytic system as a Pt alternative for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, well-studied ruthenium selenide (RuSe2 ) still exhibits sluggish HER kinetics in alkaline media due to the inappropriate adsorption strength of H and H2 O. Herein, xx report a new design of Cu-doped Ru/RuSe2 heterogeneous nanosheets (NSs) with optimized H and H2 O adsorption strength for highly efficient HER catalysis in alkaline media. Theoretical calculations reveal that the superior HER performance is attributed to a synergistic effect of the unique heterointerfaced structure and Cu doping, which not only optimizes the electronic structure with a suitable d-band center to suppress proton overbinding but also alleviates the energy barrier with enhanced H2 O adsorption. As a result, Cu-doped heterogeneous Ru/RuSe2 NSs exhibit a small overpotential of 23 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , a low Tafel slope of 58.5 mV dec-1 and a high turnover frequency (TOF) value of 0.88 s-1 at 100 mV for HER in alkaline media, which is among the best catalysts in noble metal-based electrocatalysts toward HER. The present Cu-doped Ru/RuSe2 NSs interface catalyst is very stable for HER by showing no activity decay after 5000-cycle potential sweeps. This work heralds that heterogeneous interface modulation opens up a new strategy for the designing of more efficient electrocatalysts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine prevalence of novel newborn types among 541 285 live births in 23 countries from 2000 to 2021. DESIGN Descriptive multi-country secondary data analysis. SETTING Subnational, population-based birth cohort studies (n = 45) in 23 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) spanning 2000-2021. POPULATION Liveborn infants. METHODS Subnational, population-based studies with high-quality birth outcome data from LMICs were invited to join the Vulnerable Newborn Measurement Collaboration. We defined distinct newborn types using gestational age (preterm [PT], term [T]), birthweight for gestational age using INTERGROWTH-21st standards (small for gestational age [SGA], appropriate for gestational age [AGA] or large for gestational age [LGA]), and birthweight (low birthweight, LBW [<2500 g], nonLBW) as ten types (using all three outcomes), six types (by excluding the birthweight categorisation), and four types (by collapsing the AGA and LGA categories). We defined small types as those with at least one classification of LBW, PT or SGA. We presented study characteristics, participant characteristics, data missingness, and prevalence of newborn types by region and study. RESULTS Among 541 285 live births, 476 939 (88.1%) had non-missing and plausible values for gestational age, birthweight and sex required to construct the newborn types. The median prevalences of ten types across studies were T+AGA+nonLBW (58.0%), T+LGA+nonLBW (3.3%), T+AGA+LBW (0.5%), T+SGA+nonLBW (14.2%), T+SGA+LBW (7.1%), PT+LGA+nonLBW (1.6%), PT+LGA+LBW (0.2%), PT+AGA+nonLBW (3.7%), PT+AGA+LBW (3.6%) and PT+SGA+LBW (1.0%). The median prevalence of small types (six types, 37.6%) varied across studies and within regions and was higher in Southern Asia (52.4%) than in Sub-Saharan Africa (34.9%). CONCLUSIONS Further investigation is needed to describe the mortality risks associated with newborn types and understand the implications of this framework for local targeting of interventions to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes in LMICs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) has recently been suggested to be associated with diabetes. However, this association often disappears when accounting for body mass index (BMI), suggesting that mechanical stress may be a confounding factor. We investigated the combined influence of glucose level and loading stress on OA progression using a novel whole joint-in-motion (JM) culture system. DESIGN Whole mouse knee joints were placed in an enclosed chamber with culture media and actuated to recapitulate leg movement, with a dynamic stress regimen of 0.5 Hz, 8 h/day for 7 days. These joints were treated with varying levels of glucose and controlled for osmolarity and diffusion. Joint movement and joint space were examined by X-ray fluoroscopy and microCT. Cartilage matrix levels were quantified by blinded Mankin scoring and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Culturing in the JM device facilitated proper leg extension and flexion movements, and adequate mass transport for analyzing the effect of glucose on cartilage. Treatment with higher levels of glucose either via media supplementation or intra-articular injection caused a significant decrease in levels of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and an increase in aggrecan neoepitope in articular cartilage, but only under dynamic stress. Additionally, collagen II level was slightly reduced by high glucose levels. CONCLUSIONS High levels of glucose and dynamic stress have permissive effects on articular cartilage GAG loss and aggrecan degradation, implicating that mechanical stress confounds the association of diabetes with OA. The JM device supports novel investigation of mechanical stress on the integrity of an intact living mouse joint to provide insights into OA pathogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of miR-335-5p derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (hBMMSCs) exosomes on osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSCs) model of periodontitis and explore its mechanism. METHODS The exosomes extracted from hBMMSCs were identified by transmission electron microscopy, Western blotting and PKH67 labeling. The human PDLSC model of TNF-α-induced periodontitis were co-cultured with the extracted exosomes, and qRT-PCR was performed to detect the changes in the expressions of miR-335-5p and the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8) and the osteogenic marker genes (RunX2, OCN and BMP-2). Alizarin red staining and ALP staining were used to detect the formation of calcium nodules in the treated cells, and the expression level of DKK1 protein was detected with Western blotting. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-335-5p and DKK1. RESULTS High expressions of CD9 and CD81 were detected in the extracted hBMMSC exosomes (P < 0.05). In TNF-α-induced hPDLSCs, treatment with the extracted exosomes significantly reduced the mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8, enhanced the mRNA expressions of RunX2, OCN, and BMP-2, and promoted the formation of calcium nodules. MiR-335-5p was highly expressed in hBMMSC-derived exosomes, and overexpression of miR-335-5p significantly downregulated DKK1 protein expression, inhibited the mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8, and promoted the mRNA expressions of osteogenic markers and the formation of calcium nodules in hPDLSCs. CONCLUSION HBMMSC exosome-derived miR-335-5p promotes osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs and inhibits the development of periodontitis by downregulating DKK1.

Abstract
Background Patients living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) commonly experience a number of mental health-related challenges, specifically anxiety and mood disorders (AMDs). Although there has been an awareness of the relationship between IBD and AMD within the GI research and clinical space; detection, treatment, and management amongst care providers is limited. Therefore, we are seeking to explore the overall experiences of patients living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease to identify and evaluate their experiences in interactions with GI clinicians around mental health in diverse care settings in order to determine how to best support mental health care amongst IBD patients. Purpose We aimed to explore perspectives, experiences and barriers to engaging with mental health-related challenges amongst IBD patients when interacting with gastroenterologists over the course of their health journey. Method We conducted 5 semi-structured online focus groups co-facilitated by patient researchers in early 2020 through Zoom which spanned for a total of 2.5 hours each. Participants were recruited through social media channels, GI clinics, the IMAGINE-SPOR unit, and Crohn’s and Colitis Canada. A semi-structured interview guide was developed for patient researchers to follow during the focus groups which provided guided questions that would allow patient participants to explore and reflect on: their experiences living with IBD, their expectations around mental health support, their perception of the engagement of GIs in mental health discussions, and their expectations for mental health support and services moving forward. Audio recordings from the semi-structured focus groups were then transcribed and thematic analysis was used to identify emerging themes and patient expectations. Result(s) We identified the following key themes: 1) experiences with IBD: difficulties related to reintegrating into social settings, feelings of loneliness; 2) expectations around mental health support: the need to develop their own resiliency strategies due to the lack of structural resources regarding mental health and IBD in the clinical space; 3) GI engagement: HCPs were dismissive of mental health symptoms, often gaslighting patients when mentioning mental health concerns during clinical encounters; and 4) expectations: a need to standardize mental health care across IBD care practice with a focus on potentially integrating healthcare providers of diverse care settings to help address the need for mental health support in such a vast patient population. Conclusion(s) Our study suggests that effective detection, management and awareness, along with the integration of feedback from patient lived experiences can help inform the development of mental health support and services which cater to the needs of people living with IBD. Results from this study will be interpreted in line with insight gathered from upcoming interviews of gastroenterologists and HCPs.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop a radiomics signature (RS) based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and evaluate its potential predictive value in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving anti-PD-1 therapy. METHOD CECT scans of 76 HCC patients who received anti-PD-1 therapy were obtained in this study (training group = 53 and validation group = 23). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was applied to select radiomics features of primary and metastatic lesions and establish a RS to predict lesion-level response. Then, a nomogram combined the mean RS (MRS) and clinical variables with patient-level response as the end point. RESULTS In the lesion-level analysis, the area under the curves (AUCs) of RS in the training and validation groups were 0.751 (95% CI, 0.668-0.835) and 0.734 (95% CI, 0.604-0.864), respectively. In the patient-level analysis, the AUCs of the nomogram in the training and validation groups were 0.897 (95% CI, 0.798-0.996) and 0.889 (95% CI, 0.748-1.000), respectively. The nomogram stratified patients into low- and high-risk groups, which showed a significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The RS is a noninvasive biomarker for predicting anti-PD-1 therapy response in patients with HCC. The nomogram may be of clinical use for identifying high-risk patients and formulating individualised treatments.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) is becoming an increasingly important technology for achieving carbon neutrality. Inspired by the structure of naturally occurring Mo-dependent enzymes capable of activating CO2 , a heteronuclear Mo-Se dual-single-atom electrocatalyst (MoSA-SeSA) for ECR into CO with a Faradaic efficiency of above 90% over a broad potential window from -0.4 to -1.0 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode is demonstrated here. Both operando characterization and theoretical simulation results verify that MoSA acts as central atoms that directly interact with the ECR feedstock and intermediates, whereas the SeSA adjacent to MoSA modulates the electronic structure of MoSA through long-range electron delocalization for inhibiting MoSA poisoning caused by strong CO adsorption. In addition, the SeSAs far from MoSA help suppress the competing hydrogen evolution side reaction and accelerate the CO2 transport by repelling H2 O. This work provides new insight into the precise regulation and in-depth understanding of multisite synergistic catalysis at the atomic scale.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of emodin in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using a network pharmacology-based method and validate this mechanism in a fibroblast-like synovial cell line. METHODS The PubChem, Targetnet, SwissTargetPrediction, Genecards, OMIM, and DisGeNET databases were searched to obtain emodin targets and RA-related genes. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, and GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were carried out to analyze the intersection genes. AutoDock4.2.6 software was used to simulate molecular docking between emodin and its candidate targets. In a cultured fibroblast-like synovial cell line (MH7A), the effects of different concentrations of emodin on proliferation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced cells were investigated using CCK-8 assay, cell scratch experiment and flow cytometry; the changes in the expressions of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway proteins were detected using Western blotting, and the mRNA expressions of the hub genes were examined with RT-qPCR. RESULTS We identified 32 intersection genes of emodin and RA, and the key targets including CAPS3, ESR1, and MAPK14 involved mainly the NF-κB signaling pathway. Cell scratch experiment and flow cytometry demonstrated a strong inhibitory effect of emodin on MH7A cell proliferation. Treatment with TNF-α significantly increased the cellular expressions of the NF-κB pathway proteins, which were obviously lowered by treatment with 80 μmol/L emodin. The results of RT-qPCR showed that TNF-α treatment obviously up-regulated the expressions of the hub genes COX2 and P38MAPK, and emodin treatment significantly down-regulated the expressions of MAPK and PTGS2 and up-regulated the expression of CASP3. CONCLUSION The therapeutic effect of emodin on RA is mediated mainly through regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and the NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the correlation between professional quality of life and social support of Chinese nurses based on Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients. Methods: In databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Medline, CBM, CNKI、Wanfang, and other databases were searched by computer for the literatures on correlation between Chinese nurses' professional quality of life and social support from January 2005 to July 2020. The Chinese and English search terms are "nurse" "professional quality of life" "empathy satisfaction" "empathy fatigue" "professional quality of life" "ProQOL" "comparison satisfaction" "comparison fatigue" "social support" "competent social support" "SSRS" "PSSS", etc. Literatures were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After evaluating quality and extracting data, meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 12 studies were included. The meta analysis showed that nurses' compassion satisfaction, burnout, secondary traumatic stress were related to social support, summary r were 0.35, -0.26 and -0.23 respectively. The correlation between compassion satisfaction and social support were increased with sample, the south was higher than the north, and comprehensive departments were higher than other departments (P<0.05) . The correlation between burnout and social support were increased with time and sample, and the south was higher than the north, oncology was higher than others, non-random sampling was higher than random sampling, using ProQOL and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) was higher than Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) and Social Support Racting Scale (SSRS) (P<0.05) . The correlation coefficient between secondary traumatic stress and social support in oncology was higher than others, random sampling was higher than non-random sampling, using ProQOL and PSSS was higher than ProQOL and SSRS (P<0.05) . Conclusion: There is a positive and weak correlation between compassion satisfaction and social support, and a negative and weak correlation between burnout and secondary traumatic stress and social support.

Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the impact of psychological intervention on nursing staff' compassion fatigue. Methods: From March to May 2020, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang and other databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the influence of psychological intervention on nursing staff' compassion fatigue with the main search terms including compassion fatigue, nurs*, psychological intervention, mental intervention, RCT and so on from inception to March 31, 2020. Screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. The Stata 16.0 software was used to calculate the pooled effectiveness of psychological intervention on nursing staff' compassion fatigue. Results: All 13 RCTs were enrolled, including 940 nursing staff. Meta-analysis results demonstrated that the psychological intervention group was superior to the control group in the improvement of the compassion fatigue score (SMD=-0.96, 95%CI: -1.17-0.74, P=0.001) , compassion satisfaction score (SMD=0.61, 95%CI: 0.45-0.77, P=0.002) , burnout score (SMD=-0.46, 95%CI: -0.62-0.29, P=0.006) , secondary trauma score (SMD=-0.40, 95%CI: -0.68-0.12, P=0.020) , and the difference was statistically significant. Subgroup analysis found that the psychological intervention group was more effective than the control group in improving compassion satisfaction score, reducing burnout score and secondary trauma score, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) in different intervention time (<8 weeks and ≥8 weeks) and intervention methods. Conclusion: The psychological intervention can improve the level of compassion satisfaction, and reduce the compassion fatigue among nursing staff, and have a certain preventive effect on compassion fatigue.

Abstract
Background Approximately 2%-8% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbors concurrent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitizing mutation and mesenchymal–epithelial transition factor (MET) amplification prior to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapy. This study aimed to investigate the optimal first-line therapeutic options for patients with concurrent EGFR-mutant, MET-overexpressed/amplified advanced NSCLC. Methods A total of 104 treatment-naïve patients with EGFR-mutant de novo MET-overexpressed advanced NSCLC were identified using immunohistochemistry and stratified to four groups according to treatment regimen: EGFR-TKI monotherapy (n = 48), EGFR-TKI combined with either crizotinib (n = 9) or chemotherapy (n = 12), and chemotherapy (n = 35). A subpopulation of 28 patients was also tested with next-generation sequencing (NGS). Objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) outcomes were analyzed according to treatment strategies and molecular features. Results All the patients (n = 104) achieved ORR of 36.5% and median PFS (mPFS) of 7.0 months. Baseline clinicopathologic characteristics were similar among the four treatment groups. Compared with chemotherapy, EGFR-TKI monotherapy or EGFR-TKI combination therapy achieved significantly higher ORR (P < 0.001) and longer mPFS (P = 0.003). No ORR or PFS difference was observed between EGFR-TKI monotherapy and combination therapy. In the NGS-identified population (n = 28), patients who received EGFR-TKI plus crizotinib (n = 9) achieved similar ORR (88.9% versus 57.9%, P = 0.195) and mPFS (9.0 versus 8.5 months, hazard ratio 1.10, 95% confidence interval 0.43-2.55, P = 0.45) than those who received EGFR-TKI monotherapy (n = 19), regardless of MET copy number status. Grade 3/4 rashes were significantly more among patients who received EGFR-TKI plus crizotinib (P = 0.026). Conclusions Our findings provided clinical evidence that patients with concurrent EGFR sensitizing mutation and de novo MET amplification/overexpression could benefit from first-line EGFR-TKI monotherapy. Concomitant EGFR sensitizing mutation and MET overexpression/amplification were detected in 2.6% of lung cancer patients. EGFR-TKI monotherapy elicited a higher response rate and longer PFS than chemotherapy. EGFR-TKI with or without crizotinib elicited comparable PFS regardless of MET copy number. EGFR-TKI monotherapy achieved lower number of grade 3/4 adverse events than EGFR-TKI plus crizotinib.

Abstract
We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2, Keck Array, and BICEP3 CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2018 observing season. We add additional Keck Array observations at 220 GHz and BICEP3 observations at 95 GHz to the previous 95/150/220 GHz dataset. The Q/U maps now reach depths of 2.8, 2.8, and 8.8 μK_{CMB} arcmin at 95, 150, and 220 GHz, respectively, over an effective area of ≈600 square degrees at 95 GHz and ≈400 square degrees at 150 and 220 GHz. The 220 GHz maps now achieve a signal-to-noise ratio on polarized dust emission exceeding that of Planck at 353 GHz. We take auto- and cross-spectra between these maps and publicly available WMAP and Planck maps at frequencies from 23 to 353 GHz and evaluate the joint likelihood of the spectra versus a multicomponent model of lensed ΛCDM+r+dust+synchrotron+noise. The foreground model has seven parameters, and no longer requires a prior on the frequency spectral index of the dust emission taken from measurements on other regions of the sky. This model is an adequate description of the data at the current noise levels. The likelihood analysis yields the constraint r_{0.05}<0.036 at 95% confidence. Running maximum likelihood search on simulations we obtain unbiased results and find that σ(r)=0.009. These are the strongest constraints to date on primordial gravitational waves.

Abstract
The identification of oncogenic drivers and the subsequent development of targeted therapies have been established as biomarker-based care for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Rearranged during transfection (RET) events have been reported to be oncogenic drivers in NSCLC and were more common in patients who i) were young; ii) had adenocarcinoma histology; and iii) had never smoked. Phase II studies indicated the limited efficacy of multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with NSCLC that have a confirmed RET event. Consequently, there has been ongoing research to develop more potent and specific RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Recently, a novel and specific RET inhibitor, pralsetinib (BLU-667), has been reported to have excellent efficacy and low off-target toxicity in RET cancer patients. In this review, we summarize the clinical data regarding the use of pralsetinib in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE LncRNA urothelial cancer associated 1 (UCA1) is involved in the development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), however, its specific mechanism is not fully clear. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-qPCR) was conducted to determine the expressions of lncRNA-UCA1, miR-185-5p and homeobox A13 (HOXA13) in LSCC tissues and cell lines. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, Transwell and flow cytometry, DIANA-LncBase V2, as well as Starbase, Targetscan, and Dual-Luciferase reporter gene system were conducted to detect and confirm the crosstalk networks among lncRNA-UCA1, miR-185-5p, and HOXA13. RESULTS The levels of UCA1 and HOXA13 were significantly higher and the expression of miR-185-5p was reduced in LSCC tissues and cell lines. Moreover, miR-185-5p was predicted as a target gene for lncRNA UCA1, while HOXA13 was the target gene for miR-185-5p. UCA1 siRNA inhibited the proliferation and invasion of LSCC cells, moreover, the proliferation and invasion of LSCC cells were suppressed by miR-185-5p mimics but were enhanced by miR-185-5p inhibitor. UCA1 siRNA and overexpressed HOXA13 reversed the promotive effects of miR-185-5p inhibitor and inhibitory effects of miR-185-5p mimics on cell proliferation and metastasis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The current findings reveal the important role of lncRNA UCA1/miR-185-5p/HOXA13 regulatory network in LSCC cells, and potentially provide new insights into the pathogenesis of LSCC.
