Abstract
The current research models of breast cancer are usually limited in their capacity to recapitulate the tumor microenvironment in vitro. The lack of an extracellular matrix (ECM) oversimplifies cell-cell or cell-ECM cross-talks. Moreover, the lack of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), that can comprise up to 50% of some solid neoplasms, poses a major problem for recognizing various hallmarks of cancer. To address these concerns, a type of direct breast cancer cells (BCCs)-TAMs coculture organoid model was well developed by a sequential culture method in this study. Alginate cryogels were fabricated with appropriate physical and mechanical properties to serve as an alternative ECM. Then, our previous experience was leveraged to polarize TAMs inside of the cryogels for creating an in vitro immune microenvironment. The direct coculture significantly enhanced BCCs organoid growth and cancer aggressive phenotypes, including the stemness, migration, ECM remodeling, and cytokine secretion. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis and protein-protein interaction networks implied certain pathways (PI3K-Akt pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, etc.) and targets (TNF, PPARG, TLR2, etc.) during breast cancer progression in a TAM-leading immune microenvironment. Future studies to advance treatment strategies for BCC patients may benefit from using this facile model to reveal and target the interactions between cancer signaling and the immune microenvironment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To propose a scoring system based on laryngoscopic characteristics for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant vocal fold leukoplakia. METHODS Laryngoscopic images from 200 vocal fold leukoplakia cases were retrospectively analysed. The laryngoscopic signs of benign and malignant vocal fold leukoplakia were compared, and statistically significant features were assigned and accumulated to establish the leukoplakia finding score. RESULTS A total of five indicators associated with malignant vocal fold leukoplakia were included to construct the leukoplakia finding score, with a possible range of 0-10 points. A score of 6 points or more was indicative of a diagnosis of malignant vocal fold leukoplakia. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy values of the leukoplakia finding score were 93.8 per cent, 83.6 per cent and 86.0 per cent, respectively. The consistency in the leukoplakia finding score obtained by different laryngologists was strong (kappa = 0.809). CONCLUSION This scoring system based on laryngoscopic characteristics has high diagnostic value for distinguishing benign and malignant vocal fold leukoplakia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current hypertension guidelines recommend combination of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin-receptor blocker with a calcium-channel blocker or thiazide diuretic as initial antihypertensive therapy in patients with monotherapy uncontrolled hypertension. However, to what extent these two different combinations are comparable in blood pressure (BP)-lowering efficacy and safety remains under investigation, especially in the Chinese population. We investigated the BP-lowering efficacy and safety of the amlodipine/benazepril and benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide dual therapies in Chinese patients. METHODS In a multi-center, randomized, actively controlled, parallel-group trial, we enrolled patients with stage 1 or 2 hypertension from July 2018 to June 2021 in 20 hospitals and community health centers across China. Of the 894 screened patients, 560 eligible patients were randomly assigned to amlodipine/benazepril 5/10 mg (n = 282) or benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide 10/12.5 mg (n = 278), with 213 and 212 patients, respectively, who completed the study and had a valid repeat ambulatory BP recording during follow-up and were included in the efficacy analysis. The primary outcome was the change from baseline to 24 weeks of treatment in 24-h ambulatory systolic BP. Adverse events including symptoms and clinically significant changes in physical examinations and laboratory findings were recorded for safety analysis. RESULTS In the efficacy analysis (n = 425), the primary outcome, 24-h ambulatory systolic BP reduction, was - 13.8 ± 1.2 mmHg in the amlodipine/benazepril group and - 12.3 ± 1.2 mmHg in the benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide group, with a between-group difference of - 1.51 (p = 0.36) mmHg. The between-group differences for major secondary outcomes were - 1.47 (p = 0.18) in 24-h diastolic BP, - 2.86 (p = 0.13) and - 2.74 (p = 0.03) in daytime systolic and diastolic BP, and - 0.45 (p = 0.82) and - 0.93 (p = 0.44) in nighttime systolic and diastolic BP. In the safety analysis (n = 560), the incidence rate of dry cough was significantly lower in the amlodipine/benazepril group than in the benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide group (5.3% vs 10.1%, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS The amlodipine/benazepril and benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide dual therapies were comparable in ambulatory systolic BP lowering. The former combination, compared with the latter, had a greater BP-lowering effect in the daytime and a lower incidence rate of dry cough. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03682692.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct and validate a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN)-based artificial intelligence (AI) system for the detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) using archived nasopharyngoscopic images. METHODS We retrospectively collected 14107 nasopharyngoscopic images (7108 NPCs and 6999 noncancers) to construct a DCNN model and prepared a validation dataset containing 3501 images (1744 NPCs and 1757 noncancers) from a single center between January 2009 and December 2020. The DCNN model was established using the You Only Look Once (YOLOv5) architecture. Four otolaryngologists were asked to review the images of the validation set to benchmark the DCNN model performance. RESULTS The DCNN model analyzed the 3501 images in 69.35 s. For the validation dataset, the precision, recall, accuracy, and F1 score of the DCNN model in the detection of NPCs on white light imaging (WLI) and narrow band imaging (NBI) were 0.845 ± 0.038, 0.942 ± 0.021, 0.920 ± 0.024, and 0.890 ± 0.045, and 0.895 ± 0.045, 0.941 ± 0.018, and 0.975 ± 0.013, 0.918 ± 0.036, respectively. The diagnostic outcome of the DCNN model on WLI and NBI images was significantly higher than that of two junior otolaryngologists (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The DCNN model showed better diagnostic outcomes for NPCs than those of junior otolaryngologists. Therefore, it could assist them in improving their diagnostic level and reducing missed diagnoses. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 134:127-135, 2024.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the MRI imaging features of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α- inactivated hepatocellular adenoma (H-HCA). Methods: Clinical data and MRI images of 19 H-HCA cases who were pathologically confirmed at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University between August 2014 and July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 15 females and 4 males, aged 16-47 (32± 7) years old. Tumor number, location, shape, size, boundary, MRI plain scan signal intensity, dynamic enhancement features of each phase, presence or absence of intratumoral fat content, pseudocapsule, and others were analyzed. The differences in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values between the lesion and the surrounding normal liver parenchyma were compared for statistical significance. t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results: There were a total of 24 lesions in 19 cases. 14 cases had solitary lesions, and five cases had multiple lesions. 15 and nine lesions were located in the right and left lobes of the liver, respectively. 20 lesions were round or quasi-round, and four were irregular or lobulated. The tumor's maximal diameter was 0.6-8.6 (3.5 ± 2.4) cm. T(1)-weighted image (WI) showed hyperintense to iso-intense signals in 20 lesions and hypointense signals in four. T(2)WI showed iso-to-slightly high signal intensity in 16 lesions, with two hyperintense and six hypointense signals. Diffusion-weighted image (DWI) revealed hyperintense to iso-intense signals. Lesions mean ADC value was (1.289 ± 0.222)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, while the adjacent normal liver parenchyma's mean ADC value was (1.307 ± 0.236)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, with no statistically significant difference between the two (P > 0.05). During the arterial phase, 15 of the 18 lesions that underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced scanning with gadoxetate disodium (Gd-DTPA) were mildly to moderately enhanced and three were strongly enhanced. The portal and hepatic venous phases had no continuous enhancement, while the delayed phase showed a hypointense signal. During the arterial phase, two of the six lesions scanned by gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid ((Gd-EOB-DTPA) dynamic enhancement were mildly to moderately enhanced, while four were strongly enhanced. The portal and hepatic venous phases had no continuous enhancement, while the transition and hepatobiliary-specific phases showed hypointense signals. Intracellular steatosis occurred in 21 lesions, of which 19 were diffuse steatosis and 16 formed pseudocapsules in the delayed phase. Conclusion: H-HCA often occurs in young females as solitary lesions and has certain MRI features. T1WI anti-phase diffuse signal reduction and post-enhanced hypovascular withdrawal enhancement patterns can aid in accurately diagnosing the disease condition.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical application value of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using the big-bubble technique to bare Descemet's membrane. Methods: Retrospective case series. Clinical data of 92 patients (92 eyes) with monocular stromal corneal diseases who underwent big-bubble DALK in the Eye Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2020 to August 2021 were collected. There were 53 males and 39 females. The average age was (53.2±16.0) years old. All patients underwent iOCT scanning to determine the location and depth of the injection needle after initial removal of the corneal lesion, to observe the integrity of the recipient bed, Descemet's membrane, after complete lesion removal, and to observe the adhesion between the corneal graft and the recipient bed and check folds on the recipient bed after suturing of the corneal graft. The intraoperative perforation of Descemet's membrane, postoperative thickness of the cornea and the recipient bed, visual acuity, and corneal astigmatism were recorded. Results: By iOCT, the thickness of the recipient bed was found to be about 1/2 of the corneal thickness and relatively uniform in all directions in 62 eyes (67.4%), so the sterile air was injected from the center of the recipient bed to separate it from the stromal layer. In 30 eyes (32.6%) with an uneven thickness of the recipient bed, the sterile air was injected from the paracentral area of the recipient bed. Under the guidance of iOCT scanning, 89 eyes (96.7%) did not experience any perforation of Descemet's membrane during surgery. The Descemet's membrane folds in the central 5-mm area of the recipient bed was observed and flattened in 20 eyes with the assistance of iOCT scanning. The postoperative corneal thickness was (578.95±108.26) μm, and the recipient bed thickness was (36.06±23.11) μm. The best corrected visual acuity of all patients at 6 months after surgery was 0.57±0.25 logMAR, which was significantly better than that before surgery (1.61±1.27 logMAR; P<0.001). The average corneal astigmatism at 6 months after surgery was (2.72±2.44) diopters. Conclusions: The application of iOCT scanning in DALK surgery assisted by the big-bubble method can provide safe guidance for surgeons to adopt correct surgical procedures, decrease the risk of Descemet's membrane perforation, reduce the recipient bed folds, and facilitate corneal interlayer adhesion, thereby improving the visual prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the regulatory mechanisms of piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) in bisphenol A (BPA)-induced prostate cancer cell invasion and migration. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data was used to analyze and screen for piRNAs with significantly increased expression in prostate cancer tissues. PC-3 cells were treated with different concentrations of BPA for 12, 24, and 48 h, respectively, and the 20% inhibitory concentration (IC20) was measured using a CCK-8 assay. The expression levels of piRNAs before and after BPA treatment were determined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Target genes regulated by BPA and associated with prostate cancer were screened in the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify the relationship between piRNA and target genes, and the expression change of the piRNA target gene was detected by Western blotting. Cell migration and invasion assays were used to determine the effects of piRNA on the malignant phenotype of prostate cancer cells. Results: After treatment of PC-3 cells with 160 μmol/L BPA, the expression of piR-sno48 was most significantly increased (P<0.05). Transfection of piR-sno48 antagomir resulted in decreased expression of endogenous piR-sno48 and a significant increase in the expression of its target gene GSTP1 (P<0.05). However, the expression of GSTP1 did not change significantly in BPA-treated PC-3 cells after transfection with piR-sno48 antagomir (P>0.05). The dual-luciferase reporter gene confirmed that piR-sno48 inhibited the expression of GSTP1 by forming an inversely complementary sequence with the 3'-UTR of GSTP1. The Transwell assay results showed that treatment with BPA significantly increased the invasion and migration ability of prostate cancer cells (P<0.01), whereas piR-sno48 antagonists significantly inhibited the effects above (P<0.01). Conclusion: BPA promotes the invasion and migration of prostate cancer cells by upregulating the expression of piR-sno48 and suppressing the expression of GSTP1. Interfering with the expression of endogenous piR-sno48 may inhibit the malignant phenotype of prostate cancer cells caused by BPA.

Abstract
This study analyzed the clinical and imaging data of 81 glioma patients who underwent brain synthetic MRI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) examination in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from August 2020 to September 2021 to explore the value of synthetic MRI relaxation quantitative value in predicting the genotype of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) in gliomas. There were 44 males and 37 females, those patients with an aged 50.0 (36.5, 59.0) years. The tumor pre-T1, pre-T2, pre-PD, post-T1 and ADC values were obtained by outlining the region of interest (ROI). Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences of parameter values between groups, and the receiver operating characteristic was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter value in predicting glioma IDH1 genotype. The results showed that the pre-T1 and pre-PD values [M (Q1, Q3)] of IDH1m glioma were lower than those of IDH1w glioma [1 462.75 (1 306.41, 1 567.75) ms vs 1 532.83 (1 434.67, 1 617.67) ms, 84.18 (82.28, 86.41) pu vs 85.85 (84.65, 86.90) pu] (all P<0.05). The post-T1 and ADC values of IDH1m glioma were higher than those of IDH1w glioma [1 054.50 (631.92, 1 262.63) ms vs 669.67 (535.17, 823.33) ms, 1.20 (0.86, 1.35) ×10-3 mm2/s vs 0.80 (0.76, 0.93) ×10-3 mm2/s] (all P<0.05). The AUC of the combined model (pre-T1+pre-PD+post-T1+ADC+Age) is 0.828 (95%CI:0.729-0.903). Synthetic MRI relaxation quantitative values are helpful to distinguish IDH1 genotypes in glioma. The diagnostic efficacy of the multi-parameter combined model based on pre-T1, pre-PD, post-T1, ADC, and age is better than that of the single parameter, and it can be used as an effective strategy to improve the differential diagnosis ability of gliomas molecular markers.

Abstract
Background Polydrug abuse is common among opioid users. Individuals who use both heroin and methamphetamine (MA) have been shown to experience a wide range of cognitive deficits. Previous research shows that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can change cerebral cortical excitability and regulate neurotransmitter concentration, which could improve cognitive function in drug addiction. However, the stimulation time, location, and possible mechanisms of rTMS are uncertain. Methods 56 patients with polydrug use disorder were randomized to receive 20 sessions of 10 Hz rTMS (n = 19), iTBS (n = 19), or sham iTBS (n = 18) to the left DLPFC. All patients used MA and heroin concurrently. Cognitive function was assessed and several related proteins including EPI, GABA-Aα5, IL-10, etc. were quantified by ELISA before and after the treatment. Results Baseline RBANS scores were lower than normal for age (77.25; IQR 71.5-85.5). After 20 treatment sessions, in the iTBS group, the RBANS score increased by 11.95 (95% CI 0.02-13.90, p = 0.05). In particular, there were improvements in memory and attention as well as social cognition. Following treatment, serum EPI and GABA-Aα5 were reduced and IL-10 was elevated. The improvement of immediate memory was negatively correlated with GABA-Aα5 (r = -0.646, p = 0.017), and attention was positively correlated with IL-10 (r = 0.610, p = 0.027). In the 10 Hz rTMS group, the improvement of the RBANS total score (80.21 ± 14.08 before vs.84.32 ± 13.80 after) and immediate memory (74.53 ± 16.65 before vs.77.53 ± 17.78 after) was statistically significant compared with the baseline (p < 0.05). However, compared with the iTBS group, the improvement was small and the difference was statistically significant. There was no statistically significant change in the sham group (78.00 ± 12.91 before vs.79.89 ± 10.92 after; p > 0.05). Conclusion Intermittent theta burst stimulation to the left DLPFC may improve cognitive function in polydrug use disorder patients. Its efficacy appears to be better than that of 10 Hz rTMS. The improvement of cognitive function may be related to GABA-Aα5 and IL-10. Our findings preliminarily demonstrate the clinical value of iTBS to the DLPFC to augment neurocognitive recovery in polydrug use disorders.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging characteristics and clinical symptoms and therapeutic efficacy in adenomyosis patients. Methods: The clinical characteristics of the adenomyosis questionnaire was self-designed. This was a retrospective study. From September 2015 to September 2020, totally 459 patients were diagnosed with adenomyosis and underwent pelvic MRI examination at Peking University Third Hospital. Clinical characteristics and treatment were collected, MRI was used to determine the lesion location, and to measure the maximum lesion thickness, the maximum myometrium thickness, uterine cavity length, uterine volume, the minimum distance between the lesion and serosa or endometrium, and whether combined with ovarian endometrioma. The difference of MRI imaging characteristics in patients with adenomyosis and its relationship with clinical symptoms and therapeutic efficacy were analyzed. Results: (1) Among the 459 patients, the age was (39.1±6.4) years. There were 376 patients (81.9%, 376/459) with dysmenorrhea. Whether patients had dysmenorrhea were related to uterine cavity length, uterine volume, ratio of the maximum lesion thickness to the maximum myometrium thickness, and whether patients had ovarian endometrioma (all P<0.001). Multivariate analysis suggested that ovarian endometrioma was the risk factor for dysmenorrhea (OR=0.438, 95%CI: 0.226-0.850, P=0.015). There were 195 patients (42.5%, 195/459) with menorrhagia. Whether patients had menorrhagia were related to age, whether patients had ovarian endometrioma, uterine cavity length, the minimum distance between lesion and endometrium or serosa, uterine volume, ratio of the maximum lesion thickness to the maximum myometrium thickness (all P<0.001). Multivariate analysis suggested that ratio of the maximum lesion thickness to the maximum myometrium thickness was the risk factor for menorrhagia (OR=774.791, 95%CI: 3.500-1.715×105, P=0.016). There were 145 patients (31.6%, 145/459) with infertility. Whether the patients had infertility were related to age, the minimum distance between lesion and endometrium or serosa, and whether patients had ovarian endometrioma (all P<0.01). Multivariate analysis suggested that young and large uterine volume were risk factors for infertility (OR=0.845, 95%CI: 0.809-0.882, P<0.001; OR=1.001, 95%CI: 1.000-1.002, P=0.009). (2) The success rate of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) was 39.2% (20/51). Dysmenorrhea, high maximum visual analogue scale score and large uterine volume affected the success rate of IVF-ET (all P<0.05). The smaller the maximum lesion thickness, the smaller the distance between the lesion and serosa, the larger the distance between the lesion and endometrium, the smaller the uterine volume, and the smaller the ratio of the maximum lesion thickness to the maximum myometrium thickness, the better the therapeutic efficacy of progesterones (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Concomitant ovarian endometrioma increases the risk of dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomyosis. The ratio of the maximum lesion thickness to the maximum myometrium thickness is an independent risk factor for menorrhagia. Young and large uterine volume may increase the risk of infertility. Severe dysmenorrhea and large uterine volume affect the success rate of IVF-ET. The therapeutic efficacy of progesterones is relatively better when the lesion is small and far away from the endometrium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk factors for skin injuries remain poorly understood in cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC). We herein aimed at exploring the effect of clinical factors on the risk of PICC-related skin injuries. METHODS We included 1245 cancer patients with PICC from 16 hospitals in Suzhou, China. The study outcome was in-hospital skin injuries, including contact dermatitis, skin (epidermal) stripping, tension injury, allergic dermatitis, skin tear, maceration, folliculitis, and pressure injury. RESULTS During hospitalization, 274 patients (22.0%) developed skin injuries after prolonged use of an indwelling catheter. Univariable logistic regression analysis identified several risk factors for PICC-related skin injuries; multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the following factors independently and significantly (p < 0.05) associated with the risk of PICC-related skin injuries: body mass index (BMI, >25 kg/m2 versus <18.5 kg/m2: odds ratio (OR), 1.79; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-3.11), skin condition (humid vs normal: OR, 2.96; 95% CI, 1.62-5.43), skin indentation (OR, 4.67; 95% CI, 3.31-6.58), allergic history (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.21-3.66), history of dermatitis (OR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.00-9.28), history of eczema (OR, 3.36; 95% CI, 1.20-9.43), catheter insertion site (under elbow vs. upper arm: OR, 3.32; 95% CI, 1.12-9.90), and PICC maintenance interval (4-5 days vs ⩽3 days: OR, 0.06; 95% CI, 0.01-0.50; 5-7 days vs ⩽3 days: OR, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.02-0.31; 7-9 days vs ⩽3 days: OR, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.02-0.57). CONCLUSIONS BMI, skin condition, skin indentation, allergic history, history of dermatitis, history of eczema, catheter insertion site, and PICC maintenance interval were independent risk factors for PICC-related skin injuries in cancer patients. This knowledge will guide future studies with formulating optimal treatment strategies for improving the skin health of cancer patients with PICC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Video laryngoscopy is an important diagnostic tool for head and neck cancers. The artificial intelligence (AI) system has been shown to monitor blind spots during esophagogastroduodenoscopy. This study aimed to test the performance of AI-driven intelligent laryngoscopy monitoring assistant (ILMA) for landmark anatomical sites identification on laryngoscopic images and videos based on a convolutional neural network (CNN). MATERIALS AND METHODS The laryngoscopic images taken from January to December 2018 were retrospectively collected, and ILMA was developed using the CNN model of Inception-ResNet-v2 + Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks (SENet). A total of 16,000 laryngoscopic images were used for training. These were assigned to 20 landmark anatomical sites covering six major head and neck regions. In addition, the performance of ILMA in identifying anatomical sites was validated using 4000 laryngoscopic images and 25 videos provided by five other tertiary hospitals. RESULTS ILMA identified the 20 anatomical sites on the laryngoscopic images with a total accuracy of 97.60 %, and the average sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were 100 %, 99.87 %, 97.65 %, and 99.87 %, respectively. In addition, multicenter clinical verification displayed that the accuracy of ILMA in identifying the 20 targeted anatomical sites in 25 laryngoscopic videos from five hospitals was ≥95 %. CONCLUSION The proposed CNN-based ILMA model can rapidly and accurately identify the anatomical sites on laryngoscopic images. The model can reflect the coverage of anatomical regions of the head and neck by laryngoscopy, showing application potential in improving the quality of laryngoscopy.

Abstract
The incidence rate of chronic hepatitis B remains high in China. Antiviral therapy can significantly reduce the risk of progressive liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic hepatitis B. However, all current antiviral treatments can only inhibit HBV replication and not completely eliminate the hepatitis B virus, so antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B is probably a long-term or even lifelong treatment. Antiviral therapy compliance is essential for achieving long-term clinical benefits and preventing nucleot(s)ide drugs resistance. Herein, we analyzed the relevant factors of antiviral therapy compliance and their impact on CHB treatment and explored feasible programs that can improve compliance with nucleot(s)ide drug treatment by conducting a literature search using PubMed and Scopus with search terms including hepatitis B, compliance, nucleot(s)ide drugs, antiviral therapy, viral suppression, and drug resistance.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the MRI manifestations of lymphoepithelioma-like intrahep cholangiocarcinoma (LEL-ICC). Methods: MR images of 26 cases with LEL-ICC confirmed pathologically at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University between March 2011 and March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The number, location, size, morphology, edges of lesions, non-scan signal intensity, cystic necrosis, enhancement mode, peak, and capsule, vascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, and other MR images were included for analysis. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of the lesion and the surrounding normal liver parenchyma were measured. A paired-sample t-test was used to statistically analyze the measurement data. Results: All 26 cases of LEL-ICC had solitary lesions. Mass-type LEL-ICC was the most common [n=23, lesion size (4.02±2.32) cm] with distribution along the bile duct [n=3, lesion size (7.23±1.40 cm)]. Among the 23 lesions of mass type LEL-ICC, most of the lesions were close to the liver capsule (n=20), round (n=22), clearly bordered (n=13), and cystic necrosis (n=22). In the three lesions of LEL-ICC distributed along the bile duct, most of them were close to the liver capsule (n=2), irregular (n=3), blurred edges (n=3), and cystic necrosis (n=3). All 26 lesions showed a low/slightly low signal on T1WI, a high/slightly high signal on T2WI, and a slightly high or high signal on DWI. Three lesions showed fast-in and fast-out enhancement modes, and 23 lesions showed continuous enhancement. Twenty-five lesions showed peak enhancement in the arterial phase, and one lesion appeared in the delayed phase. The ADC value of 26 lesions and adjacent normal liver parenchyma was (1.112±0.274)×10-3 mm2/s and (1.482±0.346)×10-3 mm2/s, respectively, and the both had a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Certain manifestations of LEL-ICC in magnetic resonance imaging are advantageous for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment of 45, X Turner syndrome (TS) with gonadal Y chromosome mosaicism and bilateral gonadoblastoma (Gb) secreting human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG). Methods: A female patient aged 5 years and 3 months was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of "enlarged breasts for 27 months, and elevated blood β-HCG for 8 months". The clinical data were summarized, and related literature up to March 2022 with the key words"Turner syndrome" "Gonadoblastoma" "Y chromosome" "human chorionic gonadotropin" "precocious" in PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang databases were reviewed. Results: The girl went to the local hospital for 2-month breast development at age of 3 years, and was found with a heart murmur diagnosed with "pulmonary venous malformation and atrial septal defect (secondary foramen type)". Surgical correction was performed. She experienced the progressive breast development, rapid linear growth and markedly advanced skeletal age, which cannot be explained by partial activation in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis determined at the age of 3 years and 7 months in local hospital. Then whole-exome sequencing revealed chromosome number abnormality 45, X, which was confirmed by Karyotyping. At the age of 4 years and 6 months, serum β-HCG was found to be elevated (24.9 U/L) with no lesion found at the local hospital. On physical examination, she was found with breast development, pubic hair development and clitoromegaly with elevated serum testosterone (1.96 μg/L) and β-HCG (32.3 U/L). Sex determining region Y(SRY) gene was negative in peripheral blood sample. Thoracic and abdominal CT, head and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging were normal. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the presence of a left adnexal tumor and a right fibrous streak gonad. During surgery, simultaneous samples of bilateral gonadal and peripheral venous blood were obtained and serum β-HCG, estradiol and testosteron concentrations was higher to lower from left gonadal venous blood, right gonadal venous blood, to peripheral venous blood. Bilateral gonadectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed bilateral gonadoblastomas. SRY was positive in bilateral gonadal tissues. After surgery, serum E2, testerone and β-HCG returned to normal. So far 4 cases of HCG-secreting gonadoblastoma had been reported worldwide. The phenotypes of the 4 cases were all female, with virilization or amenorrhea, and the preoperative peripheral blood β-HCG concentrations were 74.4, 5.0, 40 456.0, and 42.4 U/L, respectively. Conclusions: There is a high risk of Gb in TS with Y chromosome components. Gb is infrequently presented with breast development, and Gb associated with HCG secretion is rare. Karyotyping should be performed in a phenotypic female with masculinization, and virilization in TS indicates the presence of Y chromosome material with concurrent androgen secreting tumors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate Chinese myocarditis burden and trends in 1990 and 2019. Methods: Based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 data, the number of patients, the number of new cases, the number of deaths, the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), as well as the morbidity, mortality, DALYs rate and their age-standardized rates were used to analyze the trend and the burden of myocarditis in the Chinese population in 1990 and 2019. Results: In 2019, the number of patients, the number of new cases and the number of deaths with myocarditis in China were 234 900, 275 100 and 13 100 respectively, increasing by 85.62%, 47.51% and 50.22% compared with 1990. The age-standardized incidence and mortality were 16.94/100 000 and 0.92/100 000, respectively. Compared with 1990, the age-standardized incidence in 2019 decreased by 6.06%, and the mortality decreased by 16.04% respectively. The age-standardized incidence and mortality of Chinese male patients with myocarditis were higher than that of female. Compared with 1990, the age group with the largest incidence and mortality of myocarditis in China in 2019 all shifted to the elder group. And, DALYs and age-normalized DALYs due to myocarditis in China showed a decreasing trend in 2019, from 458 600 and 42.51/100 000 in 1990 to 341 300 and 25.39/100 000 in 2019, respectively. The rate of DALYs and age-standardized DALYs in male patients was always higher than female. Conclusions: Compared with 1990, the overall burden of myocarditis in China showed a downward trend in 2019, and the burden of myocarditis in male patients was higher than female. More attention should be paid to the burden of myocarditis in Chinese elderly population.

Abstract
A 24-year-old male was treated with transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy for myopia in both eyes 5 years ago. He had allergic conjunctivitis for 3 years. The night vision of both eyes was decreased for 2 years. The clinical diagnosis was keratoconus binoculus. Therefore, corneal collagen cross-linking was performed in both eyes, and the follow-up was 6 months. Confocal microscopy showed that the cross-linking of riboflavin and fiber amino was successful, and the keratoconus did not progress during the follow-up. Although there have been few case reports of keratoconus after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy at home and abroad, great importance should be attached to the early and comprehensive screening of keratoconus in the candidates of refractive surgery in order to improve the long-term safety.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative dipstick albuminuria (DA) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in high-risk patients following non-cardiac surgery. METHODS This was a single-center prospective cohort study. Adult patients with high risk of AKI undergoing non-cardiac surgery were enrolled. The primary outcome was AKI, defined according to KDIGO criteria within 7 days following non-cardiac surgery. DA status was determined by urinalysis performed within 24 h of hospital admission. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between preoperative DA and postoperative AKI. RESULTS During the study period, 552 patients were enrolled and 8.5% of them developed postoperative AKI. The overall rate of preoperative positive DA was 26.4% with 30 and ≥ 100 mg/dL DA accounting for 19.2% and 7.2%, respectively. Patients with more severe preoperative DA had much higher rate of postoperative AKI (5.2% in patients with negative or trace DA, 13.2% in patients with 30 mg/dL DA and 30.0% in patients with ≥ 100 mg/dL DA, P < 0.001). After adjusting for several perioperative variables, preoperative 30 mg/dL DA (OR 2.575; 95% CI 1.049-6.322; P = 0.039) and ≥ 100 mg/dL DA (OR 3.868; 95% CI 1.246-12.010; P = 0.019) showed an independent association with postoperative AKI. In addition, patients with higher DA status demonstrated significantly increased level of postoperative urine biomarkers and their ratio to urine creatinine. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative DA was independently associated with AKI in high-risk patients following non-cardiac surgery. Preoperative routine urinalysis for determination of DA status was suggested in early risk stratification.

Abstract
Background Given that the combination of multiple antibodies in autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is rare and its clinical significance is unclear, this study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and significance of overlapping multiple anti-neuronal antibodies in patients with AE. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognostic details of 22 patients with multiple coexisting antibodies from multiple clinical centers in China. Results Among the 276 patients who were AE antibody-positive, 22 (7.97%) had two or more antibodies. Among the 22 patients with coexisting AE-related antibodies, 14 patients (63.63%) were combined of cell surface and intracellular antibody, and the remaining 8 patients (36.36%) were detected to be cell surface antibody positive only. The main symptoms of the 22 patients in this cohort included fever, seizures, memory impairment, cognitive decline, and sleep disorders. Five (22.73%) patients had tumors, among whom four had small-cell lung cancers, and one had mediastinal tumors. A total of 20 patients were treated with steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, and 18 showed varying degrees of symptomatic improvement after first-line immunotherapy. Three patients died of tumor progression or chemotherapy complications. Conclusion The coexistence of multiple anti-neuronal antibodies in patients with AE may cause a superimposition and diversification of clinical manifestations. Combined paraneoplastic antibody positivity may be suggestive of an underlying malignancy.

Abstract
A one-year-old neutered Goldendoodle presented for evaluation. One week prior to presentation, surgical closure of a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH) was performed via ventral midline celiotomy. Since the procedure, the dog had been lethargic and anorexic at home. Thoracic radiographs revealed a pneumopericardium. Pericardiocentesis was performed which evacuated approximately 100 mL of air from the pericardial sac. The dog recovered well and began eating in the hospital and resumed normal activity. This is the first reported case of a pneumopericardium post-PPDH repair requiring pericardiocentesis. Clinicians should be aware of this rare complication in postoperative PPDH patients.

Abstract
Calciphylaxis is a rare disease with severe pain and high-mortality due to cutaneous ischemic necrosis and infection that currently lacks proved effective therapies. The occurrence of calciphylaxis in end stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients is known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), which is characterized histologically by dermal microvessel calcification, intimal fibroplasia and microthrombosis. Here we innovatively treated a severe CUA patient with human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). A 34-year-old uremic woman was presented with progressive, painful malodorous ulcers in buttocks and mummified lower limbs. Skin pathological features supported the diagnosis of calciphylaxis. The patient was refractory to conventional multidisciplinary symptomatic therapies. With the approval of our hospital ethics committee, she was treated with hAMSCs including intravenous and local intramuscular injection, and external application of hAMSC culture supernatant to the wound area. During 15-month follow-up, the patient had regeneration of skin and soft tissues, with improved blood biochemical, inflammatory, mineral and bone metabolic indices and immunoregulation effects. After 15-month hAMSC treatment, the score of pain visual analog scale (VAS) decreased from 10 to 0, Bates-Jensen wound assessment tool (BWAT) score decreased from 65 to 13, and wound-quality of life (Wound-QoL) questionnaire score decreased from 68 to 0. We propose that hAMSC treatment is promising for CUA patients. The therapy is potentially involved in the multiple beneficial effects of inhibiting vascular calcification, stimulating angiogenesis and myogenesis, modulating adverse inflammatory and immunologic responses, promoting re-epithelialization and restoring skin integrity.

Abstract
Dihydromyricetin has shown many bioactivities in cell level. However, dihydromyricetin was found to be highly instable in cell culture medium DMEM. Here, the underlying degradation mechanism was investigated via UPLC-MS/MS analysis. Dihydromyricetin was mainly converted into its dimers and oxidized products. At lower temperature, dihydromyricetin in DMEM showed higher stability. Vitamin C increased the stability of dihydromyricetin in DMEM probably due to its high antioxidant potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes have accelerated vascular aging when compared with healthy individuals. Hyperglycemia, especially intermittent high glucose (IHG), is the main cause of vascular endothelial senescence. Capsaicin, a major component of chili pepper is thought to contribute to cardiovascular protection by spicy food. OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathway related with the effects of capsaicin on endothelial cell senescence induced by IHG. METHODS HUVECs were exposed to IHG (5 mM or 33 mM glucose, alternating every 12 hours for 3 days) and treated with capsaicin at 0.3, 1 and 3 μM. To determine endothelial cell senescence, we examined the senescence-related β-galactosidase staining, cell cycle arrest, cell viability, as well as production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To evaluate the involvement of TRPV1/[Ca2+]i/CaMKII/AMPK/SIRT1 pathway in anti- senescence effects of capsaicin, HUVECs were treated with CAPZ (a TRPV1 antagonist), BAPTA-AM (an intracellular calcium chelator), KN62 (a CaMKII antagonist), compound C (an AMPK inhibitor), or EX527 (a SIRT1 inhibitor). To knockdown TRPV1, HUVECs were transfected with shRNA lentivirus targeting TRPV1. The levels of SIRT1, p21, TRPV1, AMPK and phospho-AMPK were evaluated by western blotting. RESULTS IHG suppressed the levels of SIRT1 and enhanced endothelial senescence. Capsaicin upregulated SIRT1 expression and downregulated the senescence marker, p21, thereby protecting endothelial cells from IHG-induced senescence as indicated by relieved G0/G1 phase arrest, improved cell viabilities, and reduced counts of senescent cells and ROS production. Pre-treatment with CAPZ, BAPTA-AM, KN62 or compound C abrogated the anti-senescence effects of capsaicin. Capsaicin restored AMPK phosphorylation and IHG-inhibited TRPV1 expression. Moreover, TRPV1 silencing suppressed SIRT1 expression and abolished the anti-senescence effects of capsaicin. CONCLUSION Capsaicin elevates SIRT1 levels through TRPV1/[Ca2+]i/CaMKII/AMPK pathway and suppresses IHG-mediated endothelial cell senescence. This study provides initial evidence that capsaicin is a potential candidate for the prevention of vascular aging in diabetes.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Job-related stress and sleep disturbances are common problems among registered nurses (RNs). At present, more than half of the nursing staff in Taiwan have the intention to leave, so this is a problem that cannot be ignored. This cross-sectional correlational research based on Job Demands-Resources Model aimed to explore the influencing factors of work well-being from sleep and job crafting perspective.
Methods
A total of 220 (13.3% was male) shift-work RNs (mean age= 30.6, SD= 6.5), were recruited from seven intensive care units of a teaching hospital in central Taiwan. All nurses completed a battery questionnaires measuring their job-related stress, sleep disturbances, fatigue severity, self-efficacy, job crafting, and work well-being. In addition, a 7-day sleep diary were collected to estimate their total sleep time (TST).
Results
Majority of the RNs reported poor sleep quality (61.5%), insufficient sleep quantity (62.8%), and poor daytime functioning (49.5%). According to the sleep diary, their average TST (464 minutes, SD= 91.7) was close to what they needed to feel refreshed (472 minutes, SD= 87.5); however, more than three-quarters of them experienced clinically significant fatigue before bedtime (92.3%) and after waking up (72.7%). Job-related stress was measured by the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire II, the top three stressors were from value at work level, interpersonal relations and leadership, and work organization. Sleep disturbances was correlated with poor work well-being. After controlling for personal factors (age, gender, and years in nursing) and sleep disturbances, self-efficacy, job-related stress, and job crafting explained 49.8% of work well-being; work organization, value at work level, and job crafting are the significant predictors.
Conclusion
Most RNs in this study reported sleep disturbances and severe fatigue, which had a negative impact on their work well-being. Job-related stress contributed to sleep disturbances, and calls for further study on job-crafting and shift work coping.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of nucleos(t)ide analogues in the treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B with normal alanine aminotransferase and high level of HBV DNA. Methods: Treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B patients who were followed up at the Center of Infectious Diseases, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as subjects. Demographic characteristics, the results of laboratory examination before treatment and one year after treatment were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into tenofovir dipivoxil (TDF) and propofol fumurate tenofovir (TAF) treatment group according to different types of medication. The changes of serum HBV DNA level, HBeAg serological conversion and HBsAg quantitative level were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 38 cases were enrolled. Among them, there were 16 and 22 cases in the TDF and TAF group, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in demographic characteristics, baseline HBV DNA levels and HBsAg quantitative levels between the two groups. Virological response was achieved in 60.5% (23/38) of patients after one year of antiviral therapy. Serum HBV DNA levels below the lower limit of detection [68.2% (15/22) vs. 50.0% (8/16), P=0.258] and higher HBeAg seroconversion rate [18.2%] (4/22) vs. 6.3% (1/16), P=0.374] was obtained in TAF than TDF group; however, there was no statistically significant differences between the two. Serum HBsAg quantitative level was significantly reduced with TDF and TAF treatment. In addition, alanine aminotransferase elevation was reduced in TAF than TDF treated group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patient age was an independent predictor of a virological response to antiviral therapy. Conclusion: HBeAg-positive CHB patients with normal alanine aminotransferase, and high HBV DNA level can obtain better curative effect after TDF and TAF treatment.

Abstract
Background There is growing evidence to suggest that ginsenoside Rd (GRd) has a therapeutic effect on depression, but the specific mechanisms behind its activity require further study. Objective This study is designed to investigate the antidepressant-like effect and underlying mechanisms of GRd. Methods In this study, the behavioral despair mouse model of depression and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rat model of depression were established to explore the effects of GRd on depression-like behavior and its underlying mechanisms. Behavioral tests were used to evaluate the replication of animal models and depression-like behaviors. The hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) blocker 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME) was injected to determine the role of HIF-1α in the antidepressant-like effect of GRd. In addition, molecular biology techniques were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1ɑ signaling pathway and synaptic plasticity-related regulators, that is synapsin 1 (SYN 1) and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD 95). In silico binding interaction studies of GRd with focused target proteins were performed using molecular docking to predict the affinity and optimal binding mode between ligands and receptors. Results Our data show that GRd significantly reversed depression-like behavior and promoted mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1ɑ signaling pathway and synaptic plasticity-related regulators. However, the antidepressant-like effect of GRd disappeared upon inhibition of HIF-1α expression following administration of 2-ME. Furthermore, molecular docking results showed that GRd possessed significant binding affinity for HIF-1α, VEGF, and VEGFR-2. Conclusion Our results show that GRd exhibits significant antidepressant-like effect and that HIF-1α signaling pathway is a promising target for the treatment of depression.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) imaging features of gastric stromal tumor (GST) in predicting pathological NIH risk classification, providing imaging basis for patients with GST before treatment. Methods: The clinical and CT imaging data of 504 patients(506 GST lesions), 259males and 245 females, aged from 13 to 85(60±11) years, with GST confirmed by surgery and pathology collected in the Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University and the Affiliated TCM Hospital of Southwest Medical University. According to pathological NIH risk classification, 506 lesions were divided into low risk group (very low and low risk degree, 277 lesions) and high risk group (medium and high risk degree, 229 lesions).Clinical data and imaging characteristics were compared between two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen out independent risk factors for statistically significant imaging indicators. Receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of tumor length for risk classification. Resulst: Between low risk group and high risk group,there were significant differences in gender(male/female:131/146 vs 129/100), gastrointestinal bleeding(present/absent:39/238 vs 59/170), morphology(regular/Irregular:218/59 vs 95/134), calcification(present/absent:36/241 vs 53/176), degree of necrosis(0°/Ⅰ°/Ⅱ°/Ⅲ°:197/61/16/3 vs 58/98/32/41), ulceration(present/absent:32/245 vs 94/135), growth pattern(endophytic/exophytic/mixed:102/105/70 vs 44/98/87), tumor location(fundus/cardia/body/angle/antrum:98/7/135/12/25 vs 98/6/114/5/6), feeding artery(present/absent:32/245 vs 104/125), vascular enhancement(present/absent:19/258 vs 88/141), effusion of around the disease(present/absent:0/277 vs 13/216), positive sign of fat around the disease(present/absent:0/277 vs 30/199),maximum long diameter[2.82(2.04,3.80) cm vs 5.93(4.06,8.29) cm] and short diameter [2.31(1.60,2.88) cm vs 4.40(3.21,6.37) cm]of tumor(all P<0.05).The maximum long diameter of tumor (OR=2.08,95%CI:1.35-3.20) and ulceration positive(OR=2.01,95%CI:1.03-3.92) were independent risk factors of risk classification(all P<0.05).Gastric antrum was used as the reference for tumor location, gastric fundus(OR=7.77,95%CI:2.00-30.24) and gastric body(OR=3.93,95%CI:1.03-15.01) were independent risk factors of risk classification(all P<0.05).The area under curve(AUC) of the maximum long diameter of tumor for predicting risk classification was 0.87, and the optimal critical value, sensitivity and specificity were 4.98cm, 62.9% and 95.3% respectively. Conclusions: MSCT image features of GST had certain characteristics. MSCT has certain predictive value for pathological NIH risk classification of GST, which can provide certain imaging basis for patients before treatment.

Abstract
To study the failure alarm information displayed on the automatic coagulation analyzer (coagulation method) of thrombin time (TT), and formulate the coping strategies combined with clinical information. Methods: A total of 233 failed TT blood samples [132 males, 101 females, with a median age of 73 (66, 79) years] were selected from 21 359 inpatients in Peking University First Hospital from January to June 2021. The statistical analysis was made and the failure causes and solutions were summarized according to the coagulation curve and the error codes displayed on the coagulation instrument, in combination with the clinical information, sample characteristics, medication status and other reasons. Meanwhile, a total of 96 TT detection failed lipid blood samples [56 males, 40 females, with a median age of 72 (65, 79) years] were analyzed from the inpatients in Peking University First Hospital from July to November 2021. TT results were obtained by artificial coagulation curve interpretation method, magnetic bead method and high-speed centrifugal re-detection method, respectively. The TT results of the three methods were compared. Results: The proportion of 233 failed TT tests from the total number of samples was 1.1% (233/21 359). There were 41.2% (96/233) samples with lipids, 23.2% (54/233) samples with heparin interference, 22.3% (52/233) samples with oral anticoagulant, and 13.3% (31/233) samples with micro-coagulation or insufficient plasma volume among these test failure samples. The classifications for these alarm information of coagulation curves showed on the instrument were as follows: 32.6% (76/233) of samples with higher changes in absorbance at baseline (SD>2 mAbs), 30.5% (71/233) of samples without peak values of second derivative, 25.8% (60/233) of samples with absorbance difference<35 mAbs between baseline and plateau period, 8.6% (20/233) samples with too low starting point or no starting point, and 2.6% (6/233) samples without coagulation curves. Among these 233 samples, there were 55.8% (130/233) samples that could be manually judged according to the reaction principle and standard coagulation curve pattern. Among the 96 samples that failed in coagulation method due to lipemia, there were 78 samples with sufficient blood volume tested by magnetic bead method. The TT results of the high-speed centrifugal redetection method, artificial coagulation curve interpretation method and magnetic bead method were 14.10 (14.80, 13.38) s, 14.30 (14.99, 13.60) s, and 15.65 (17.25, 14.65) s, respectively, but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.055). For 78 lipid samples, there was a correlation between the results of the artificial coagulation curve interpretation method and the results of magnetic bead method (r=0.99,P=0.001). Conclusions: For those samples failed in TT detection by coagulation method on automatic coagulation instrument, the cause of failure can be analyzed through coagulation curve and alarm information. For the lipid samples, TT results can be obtained by manual interpretation method, high-speed centrifugation method and magnetic bead method.

Abstract
![]()
Ischemic stroke is
a complex systemic disease characterized by
high morbidity, disability, and mortality. The activation of the presynaptic
adenosine A2A and A1 receptors modifies a variety
of brain insults from excitotoxicity to stroke. Therefore, the discovery
of dual A2A/A1 adenosine receptor (AR)-targeting
therapeutic compounds could be a strategy for the treatment of ischemic
stroke. Inspired by two clinical phase III drugs, ASP-5854 (dual A2A/A1 AR antagonist) and preladenant (selective
A2A AR antagonist), and using the hybrid medicinal strategy,
we characterized novel pyridone-substituted triazolopyrimidine scaffolds
as dual A2A/A1 AR antagonists. Among them, compound 1a exerted excellent A2A/A1 AR binding
affinity (Ki = 5.58/24.2
nM), an antagonistic effect (IC50 = 5.72/25.9 nM), and
good metabolic stability in human liver microsomes, rat liver microsomes,
and dog liver microsomes. Importantly, compound 1a demonstrated
a dose–effect relationship in the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion
(OGD/R)-treated HT22 cell model. These findings support the development
of dual A2A/A1 AR antagonists as a potential
treatment for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the trend of disease burden of degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019. Methods: Based on the 2019 Global Burden of Disease database (GBD 2019), the number of patients, the number of new cases, the number of deaths, the disability-adjusted life years (DALY) as well as the prevalence, incidence and death rate, DALY rate and their age-standardized rates were used to analyze the trend of the burden of DMVD in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019. Results: In 2019, the number of patients, the number of new cases, and the number of deaths with DMVD in China were 461.2, 27.0 and 0.129 ten thousand, respectively, which increased by 209.0%, 199.1% and 13.2% when compared with 1990. In 2019, the age-standardized prevalence, incidence and death rate were 228.1/100 000, 12.7/100 000 and 0.075/100 000, respectively. Compared with 1990, the change of the age-standardized prevalence, incidence and death rate were 32.6%, 42.8% and -54.1%, respectively. In addition, the 2019 data also showed that the age-standardized prevalence and incidence were higher in females than in males (the age-standardized prevalence was 190.1 (181.5-198.9)/100 000 for males and 262.0 (250.3-273.9)/100 000 for females); the age-standardized incidence was 10.5 (10.0-11.0)/100 000 for males and 14.9 (14.3-15.6)/100 000 for females. The age group with the largest number of DMVD patients was 65 to 69 years old, and the highest incidence was 60 to 64 years old. From 1990 to 2019, DALY caused by DMVD showed an upward trend in China, from 46 439 person-years in 1990 to 69 402 person-years in 2019, with an increase of 49.4%. While the age-standardized DALY rate continued to decline, from 5.5/100 000 in 1990 to 3.8/100 000 in 2019, with a drop of 30.8%. The DALY and the age-standardized DALY rate of females were always higher than that of males in different years. Conclusion: From 1990 to 2019, DALY and the age-standardized prevalence and incidence of DMVD in China shows an increasing trend, and the disease burden caused by DMVD is severe in China.

Abstract
Objective: To verify and evaluate the performance of automated digital image(DIA) for peripheral blood cell morphology examination. Methods: Three hundred and seventy-nine routine peripheral blood smears and 18 plasmodium positive peripheral blood smears were collected. Blood smears were made and stained by Wright -Giemsa method.White blood cell (WBC) differentiation of blood smears were pre-classified by DIA (DIA direct classification), re-classified (manually reviewed after DIA classification), and artificially classified under microscope. the inter-assay and intra-assay coefficients of variation (CV) of DIA were respectively calculated for repeatability verification. Taking the artificial microscopy as the gold standard, the sensitivity、specificity and accuracy of DIA were calculated. The DIA ability of peripheral blood blast cell morphological count, platelet (PLT) morphological count and morphological examination of plasmodium were also verified. Results: Except for eosinophils and basophils, the inter-assay and intra-assay CV of WBC classification by DIA in normal samples were < 10%. The CV of WBC classification in abnormal samples increased with the decrease of cell percentage. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of DIA pre-classification were 90.5%, 99.2%, 98.2%. Through pre-classification and re-classification by DIA,the results of the blood smears which triggered blast cell alarm had a good correlation with manual classification(r=0.812, 0.983, both P<0.01). The PLT morphological count by DIA had high correlation with hematology analyzer (r=0.946, P<0.01). The deviation absolute value of two methods of PLT count was < 15%, while in PLT aggregation or giant thrombocytosis samples,the deviation absolute value of PLT count by two methods was > 15%. After image acquisition by DIA, 17 plasmodium trophozoites were detected in 18 plasmodium-positive peripheral blood smears, and the images were clear. Conclusions: The DIA system has good repeatability, high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in peripheral blood WBC classification. Its pre-classification and re-classification results have high correlation with the manual classification results.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of radiomics model based on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiation fat-poor angiomyolipoma (fp-AML) from alpha-fetoprotein-negative hepatocellular carcinoma (n-HCC) in the background of non-cirrhotic liver. Methods: The complete data of 121 patients from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University and Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center with hepatic fp-AML and n-HCC confirmed by pathology from October 2010 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 75 were males and 46 were females, aged from 23 to 80 (55±12) years. A total of 93 patients from Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were divided into the training cohort (n=75) and internal test cohort (n=18) according to entry time, and the patients of other 2 hospitals were divided into external test cohort (n=28). The radiomics features were extracted from the preoperative triple-phase contrast-enhanced images. The feature selection algorithm based on Joint Mutual Information Maximisation (JMIM) was used to extract the optimal feature subset, and support vector machine (SVM) was used to build the radiomics model. The diagnostic performance of radiomics model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and was compared with that of two radiologists. Results: In the internal cohort, the area under the curve (AUC) for the differential diagnosis between fp-AML and n-HCC of the radiomics model was 0.819 (with an accuracy of 72.2%), outperforming than radiologist 1 with 10 years of diagnostic experience (AUC=0.542, P=0.029) and radiologist 2 with 2 years of diagnostic experience (AUC=0.375, P=0.004). In the external cohort, the AUC of the radiomics model was 0.772 (with and accuracy of 71.4%), which was comparable to that of radiologist 1 (AUC=0.661, P=0.442) and better than that of radiologist 2 (AUC=0.400, P=0.008). Conclusion: The radiomics model based on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI is of high accuracy for preoperatively differentiating hepatic fp-AML from n-HCC in the noncirrhotic liver.

Abstract
PURPOSE We report two cases diagnosed as acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) with acute onset and various clinical manifestations. METHODS The patients' data were obtained from the medical records of the Binzhou Medical University Hospital in Binzhou, China. The clinical symptoms, laboratory examination, neuroimaging, treatment, and prognosis of the 2 patients were collected and analyzed. RESULTS We report 2 adult ANE patients with acute onset. The first symptom was fever, followed by symptoms and signs of damage to the central nervous system. The patients were infected with herpes simplex virus and influenza virus, respectively. The main manifestation on brain magnetic resonance imaging was a mixed-signal of a "three-layer structure" in the bilateral thalamus. The first patient died. Based on the experience of the diagnosis and treatment of the first patient, combined with a review of the literature, the second patient was immediately treated with glucocorticoid pulse therapy combined with gamma globulin injection. This patient's condition was controlled, and the prognosis was good. CONCLUSIONS This study describes the clinical symptoms, laboratory examination, neuroimaging evidence, and treatment experience of ANE in adults. We believe that the progress of the disease may be controlled, and the prognosis may be improved if glucocorticoid pulse therapy combined with gamma globulin injection is used as soon as possible.

Abstract
The new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was initially discovered at the end of 2019 in Wuhan City in China and has caused one of the most serious global public health crises. A collection and analysis of studies related to the association between COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) transmission and meteorological factors, such as humidity, is vital and indispensable for disease prevention and control. A comprehensive literature search using various databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, was systematically performed to identify eligible studies from Dec 2019 to Feb 1, 2021. We also established six criteria to screen the literature to obtain high-quality literature with consistent research purposes. This systematic review included a total of 62 publications. The study period ranged from 1 to 8 months, with 6 papers considering incubation, and the lag effect of climate factors on COVID-19 activity being taken into account in 22 studies. After quality assessment, no study was found to have a high risk of bias, 30 studies were scored as having moderate risks of bias, and 32 studies were classified as having low risks of bias. The certainty of evidence was also graded as being low. When considering the existing scientific evidence, higher temperatures may slow the progression of the COVID-19 epidemic. However, during the course of the epidemic, these climate variables alone could not account for most of the variability. Therefore, countries should focus more on health policies while also taking into account the influence of weather.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the MRI features of hepatic nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) induced by chemotherapy. Methods: The clinical data and MRI of 20 cases with hepatic NRH induced by chemotherapy and confirmed by pathology in Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University from August 2014 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 13 males and 7 females, with an average age of 49.8 ± 9.7 years. Contrast-enhanced MR scan with Gd-DTPA was performed eighteen patients, and two patients underwent contrast-enhanced MR scan with hepatobiliary specific contrast (Gd-EOB-DTPA). The image analysis includes the number, location, size, shape, signal intensity in plain scan and enhancement pattern of lesions. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the lesions and adjacent hepatic parenchyma were measured on the ADC map, and the difference was compared with paired sample t test. Results: A total of 36 lesions in 20 patients were rounded or oval, including 23 (63.9%) lesions in the right lobe, 12 (33.3%) in the left lobe and 1 (2.8%) in the caudate lobe. The average diameter of all lesions was 15.4 ± 6.4 (7.0-37.0) mm. The boundary was clear in 9 (25.0%) lesions and blurred in 27 (75%) lesions. In T1WI, 35 (97.2%) lesions showed slightly hypointensity, and in 1 (2.8%) lesion was iosintensity. All 36 lesions showed slightly hyperintensity in T2WI. 33 (91.7%) lesions showed slightly hyperintensity in DWI, and 3 (8.3%) lesions showed iosintensity. 31 lesions with Gd-DTPA enhanced MR scan were significantly enhanced in the arterial phase and showed slightly high signal intensity in early portal vein phase, late portal vein phase and equilibrium phase. 5 lesions with Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MR scan were also significantly enhanced in the arterial phase and showed slightly high signal intensity in early portal vein phase, late portal vein phase and equilibrium phase, then all lesions showed circular high signal intensity in hepatobiliary specific phase. The average ADC value of 29 lesions was (1.471 ± 0.253) × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, and that of adjacent liver parenchyma was (1.460 ± 0.235) ×10(-3) mm(2)/s. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: MR findings of NRH induced by chemotherapy have certain characteristics, and the morphological manifestations, diffusion-weighted imaging, enhanced imaging and hepatobiliary specific phase features of the lesions can help to diagnose the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of vocal cord leukoplakia mainly relies on laryngoscopy. The morphology of vocal cord leukoplakia under laryngoscope is closely related to the pathological nature of leukoplakia. The specific manifestations associated with high-risk vocal cord leukoplakia remain to be explored. OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristics of low-risk and high-risk vocal cord leukoplakia under conventional white light imaging (WLI) laryngoscopy and its correlations with narrow band imaging (NBI) laryngoscopy. METHODS One hundred and seventy-five cases of vocal cord leukoplakia were divided into low-risk and high-risk groups. The characteristics of low-risk and high-risk vocal cord leukoplakia under WLI laryngoscopy and its correlations with NBI laryngoscopy were analyzed. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis showed that thickness and hyperemia were independent factors (p < .05). Hyperemia had a strong consistency with the visualization of spots under NBI laryngoscopy (kappa = 0.758). The sign of hyperemia and the NBI classification had equivalent diagnostic efficacy for predicting the risk of cancerization of vocal cord leukoplakia. CONCLUSION The sign of hyperemia under WLI laryngoscopy is significantly correlated with the visualized spots under NBI laryngoscopy. Hyperemia is an important feature for predicting malignant potential of vocal cord leukoplakia.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, and long-term outcomes of patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) in the east of China. Methods: From January 2015 to December 2019, 226 potential AE patients were recruited from five clinical centers, and a total of 185 patients who met the diagnostic criteria were included in the study. We retrospectively reviewed clinical features, auxiliary examinations, details of treatments, and outcomes of AE, and identified risk factors of poor prognosis. Modified Rankin Scale scores were used to evaluate neurological function, and scores of 3–6 indicated a poor-prognosis. Results: Patients with five main subtypes of AE were enrolled in the study, as follows: anti-NMDAR (79), anti-LGI1 (55), anti-CASPR2 (30), anti-GABABR (16), and anti-AMPAR (5). Among 185 patients, 58.38% (108/185) were male and 41.62% (77/185) were female. The median age at disease onset was 41 years (interquartile range, 17–62). The most common clinical manifestations of AE were seizures (146, 78.92%) and memory deficit (123, 66.49%). A total of 95 (51.35%) patients had abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging results. Electroencephalographic findings were abnormal in 131 (70.81%) patients, and 168 (90.81%) and 26 (14.05%) patients were treated with first- and second-line immunotherapies, respectively. All surviving patients were followed-up for at least 1 year (range 12–36 months). Good clinical outcomes were achieved in 117 (63.24%), while 68 (36.76%) patients had a poor prognosis. Further, 33 (17.84%) patients relapsed and 10 (5.41%) died within 1 year post-discharge. Older patients tended to have a poorer prognosis, and the occurrence of mental behavioral disorders, movement disorders, disturbance of consciousness, central hypoventilation, and tumors were overrepresented in the poor-prognosis group. Conclusions: AE is a treatable disease, and most patients have a good prognosis. There are differences in the clinical manifestations of patients with different AE subtypes. Some with AE will relapse, and long-term follow-up is of great significance for further research.

Abstract
Mizoroki-Heck reaction of unstrained aryl ketone with acrylate/styrene is accomplished via palladium-catalyzed ligand-promoted C-C bond cleavage. Various (hetero)aryl ketones are compatible in the reaction, affording the alkene product in good to excellent yields. Further applications in the late-stage olefination of some drugs, natural products, and fragrance-derived aryl ketones demonstrate the synthetic utility of this protocol. By employing ketone as both the directing group and the leaving group, 1,2-bifunctionalization is achieved via sequential ortho-C-H alkylation/ipso-Heck olefination.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the clinical manifestation, immunotherapy, and long-term outcomes of anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) encephalitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was a retrospective analysis of 117 patients with a diagnosis of anti-LGI1 encephalitis identified from the databases of multiple clinical centers between September 2014 and December 2019. The clinical features, ancillary test results, and details of long-term outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS Among the 117 patients with anti-LGI1 encephalitis, 69.2% (81/117) were male and 30.8% (36/117) were female. The median age of all patients at the onset of the disease was 57 years (interquartile range [IQR], 52-67). The median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 8.7 weeks (IQR, 4.2-25). The main clinical features identified were seizures, cognitive impairment, and mental and behavioral abnormalities. Of the 117 patients, 109 were treated with immunotherapy. Symptoms including memory, mental ability, and behavior improved in all 109 patients after 3-5 days of treatment. The median time of follow-up for the treated patients was 33 months (IQR, 17-42). Of the treated patients, 16.2% (19/117) experienced a relapse, with a median delay of 5 months (IQR, 2.1-17) between onset and the first relapse. There were no mortalities over the follow-up period. CONCLUSION The long-term outcome of patients with anti-LGI1 encephalitis was mostly favorable, although some patients continued to experience cognitive dysfunction. Early recognition is important for prompt initiation of immunotherapy that can improve clinical symptoms of anti-LGI1 encephalitis.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the characteristics and differences of diarrhea-related symptoms caused by different pathogens, and the clinical features of various pathogens causing diarrhea. Methods: Etiology surveillance program was conducted among 20 provinces of China from 2010 to 2016. The acute diarrhea outpatients were collected from clinics or hospitals. A questionnaire was used to survey demographics and clinical features. VFeces samples were taken for laboratory detection of 22 common diarrhea pathogens, to detect and analyze the clinical symptom pattern characteristics of the patient's. Results: A total of 38 950 outpatients were enrolled from 20 provinces of China. The positive rates of Rotavirus and Norovirus were the highest among the five diarrhea-causing viruses (Rotavirus: 18.29%, Norovirus: 13.06%). In the isolation and culture of 17 diarrhea-causing bacterial, Escherichia coli showed the highest positive rates (6.25%). The clinical features of bacterial diarrhea and viral diarrhea were mainly reflected in the results of fecal traits and routine examination, but pathogenic Vibrio infection was similar to viral diarrhea. Conclusion: Infectious diarrhea presents different characteristics due to various symptoms which can provide a basis for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The coupling of aromatic electrophiles (aryl halides, aryl ethers, aryl acids, aryl nitriles etc.) with nucleophiles is a core methodology for the synthesis of aryl compounds. Transformations of aryl ketones in an analogous manner via carbon-carbon bond activation could greatly expand the toolbox for the synthesis of aryl compounds due to the abundance of aryl ketones. An exploratory study of this approach is typically based on carbon-carbon cleavage triggered by ring-strain release and chelation assistance, and the products are also limited to a specific structural motif. Here we report a ligand-promoted β-carbon elimination strategy to activate the carbon-carbon bonds, which results in a range of transformations of aryl ketones, leading to useful aryl borates, and also to biaryls, aryl nitriles, and aryl alkenes. The use of a pyridine-oxazoline ligand is crucial for this catalytic transformation. A gram-scale borylation reaction of an aryl ketone via a simple one-pot operation is reported. The potential utility of this strategy is also demonstrated by the late-stage diversification of drug molecules probenecid, adapalene, and desoxyestrone, the fragrance tonalid as well as the natural product apocynin.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the molecular mechanism of stroke and to explore the effect of miR-224-5p in hypoxic cortical neurons. Firstly, we established a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model with Sprague–Dawley rats. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining showed the brain infarction of an MCAO rat. Longa scores of rats were significantly increased in 12th, 24th, and 48th hours after MCAO. Then, we found that miR-224-5p was increased after MCAO in rats by qRT-PCR. In order to investigate the effect of miR-224-5p in hypoxic neurons, we established an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model with cortical neurons. MiR-224-5p was also upregulated in neurons after OGD by qRT-PCR. After transfection of the miR-224-5p inhibitor, the number of neurons in the anti-miR-224-5p group significantly increased (P < 0.01) in comparison to the anti-NC group. Furthermore, Tuj1+ (neuronal marker) staining and TUNEL assay (to detect apoptotic cells) were performed in neurons. The survival of neurons in the anti-miR-224-5p group was significantly improved (P < 0.01), while the apoptosis of neurons in the anti-miR-224-5p group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01), when compared with that of the anti-NC group. In addition, we predicted that potential target genes of miR-224-5p were nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1), interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN), and ring finger protein 38 (RNF38) with bioinformatics databases, such as TargetScan, miRDB, miRmap, and miRanda. The result of qRT-PCR confirmed that NR4A1 was significantly decreased after hypoxic injury (P < 0.01). Meanwhile, luciferase reporter’s assay indicated that NR4A1 was the direct target of miR-224-5p. Compared with the anti-miR-224-5p + siNC group, the number of cortical neurons and the length of the neuron axon in the anti-miR-224-5p + si-NR4A1 group were significantly decreased (P < 0.01), and the number of neuronal apoptosis in the anti-miR-224-5p + si-NR4A1 group was increased (P < 0.01). In conclusion, miR-224-5p played a crucial role in hypoxic neuron injury through NR4A1, which might be an important regulatory mechanism in OGD injury of neurons.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the short-term and long-term results of thoracoscopic and open pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: The clinical data of patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent pneumonectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Qingdao University Hospital from January 2008 to December 2016 were collected. Totally 142 patients (55 in the thoracoscopic group and 87 in the open group) were included in the study. A total of 29 pairs of patients were successfully matched by propensity score matching (PSM). Perioperative outcomes and overall survival were compared between the two groups using t test, χ(2) test, Kaplan-Meier curve and Log-rank test, respectively. Results: Camparion with open group, the thoracoscopic group had longer operative time ((209.7±70.2) minutes vs. (171.3±43.5) minutes, t=2.50, P=0.02), more mediastinal lymph node dissection (M(Q(R)): 17(9) vs. 11(10), W=388, P=0.02) and shorter postoperative hospital stay (7.0(3.5) vs. 9.0(3.0), W=285, P=0.03). There was no significant difference in estimated blood loss, postoperative drainage time, dissected lymph node number, dissected lymph node station and perioperative complications. After PSM, there were no signifificant differences found in 3-year survival (71.4% vs. 48.1%, P=0.10) and 3-year disease-free survival (67.4% vs. 47.2%, P=0.13) between the two groups. Conclusion: Thoracoscopic pneumonectomy is safe and feasible for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with more mediastinal lymph node dissection and accelerating recovery, and equivalent long-term prognosis when compared with open approach.

Abstract
Oxidative and inflammatory damage has been suggested to play important roles in the pathogenesis of skin photoaging. Andrographolide sodium bisulfate (ASB) is a soluble derivative of andrographolide and has known antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory properties. In the present study, cellular experiments were designed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of ASB in relieving ultraviolet (UV)‑induced photo‑damage. Following ASB pretreatment and UV irradiation, the apoptosis and necrosis of HaCaT cells were investigated by Hoechst 33342/propidium iodide staining. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was investigated using a DCFH‑DA fluorescence probe. Furthermore, the protein expression levels of p65, NF‑κB inhibitor‑α, nuclear factor E2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2) and kelch‑like ECH‑associated protein 1 (keap1) were measured via western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses. Furthermore, NF‑κB‑mediated cytokines were assessed by ELISA, and Nrf2‑mediated genes were detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. Pretreatment with ASB markedly increased cell viability, decreased cell apoptosis and decreased UV‑induced excess ROS levels. In addition, ASB activated the production of Nrf2 and increased the mRNA expression levels of glutamate‑cysteine ligase catalytic subunit and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1, while ASB downregulated the protein expression of p65 and decreased the production of interleukin (IL)‑1β, IL‑6 and tumor necrosis factor‑α. These results suggested that ASB attenuates UV‑induced photo‑damage by activating the keap1/Nrf2 pathway and downregulating the NF‑κB pathway in HaCaT keratinocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression can seriously affect the quality of life of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients after stroke. However, there were still no objective methods to diagnose T2DM patients with poststroke depression (PSD). Therefore, we conducted this study to deal with this problem. METHODS Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS)-based metabolomics profiling method was used to profile the urinary metabolites from 83 nondepressed T2DM patients after stroke and 101 T2DM patients with PSD. The orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis was conducted to explore the metabolic differences in T2DM patients with PSD. The logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the optimal and simplified biomarker panel for diagnosing T2DM patients with PSD. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the diagnostic performance of this biomarker panel. RESULTS In total, 23 differential metabolites (7 decreased and 16 increased in T2DM patients with PSD) were found. A panel consisting of pseudouridine, malic acid, hypoxanthine, 3,4-dihydroxybutyric acid, fructose and inositol was identified. This panel could effectively separate T2DM patients with PSD from nondepressed T2DM patients after stroke. The area under the curve was 0.965 in the training set and 0.909 in the validation set. Meanwhile, we found that the galactose metabolism was significantly affected in T2DM patients with PSD. CONCLUSION Our results could be helpful for future development of an objective method to diagnose T2DM patients with PSD and provide novel ideas to study the pathogenesis of depression.
