Abstract
AIM To develop and validate models based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics for predicting the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS 117 EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with brain metastases who received EGFR-TKI treatment were included in this study from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2021. Patients were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts in a ratio of 2:1. Radiomics features extracted from brain MRI were screened by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm. Logistic regression analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis were used to screen clinical risk factors. Clinical (C), radiomics (R), and combined (C + R) nomograms were constructed in models predicting short-term efficacy and intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS), respectively. Calibration curves, Harrell's concordance index (C-index), and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the performance of models. RESULTS Overall response rate (ORR) was 57.3% and median iPFS was 12.67 months. The C + R nomograms were more effective. In the short-term efficacy model, the C-indexes of C + R nomograms in training cohort and validation cohort were 0.860 (0.820-0.901, 95%CI) and 0.843 (0.783-0.904, 95%CI). In iPFS model, the C-indexes of C + R nomograms in training cohort and validation cohort were 0.837 (0.751-0.923, 95%CI) and 0.850 (0.763-0.937, 95%CI). CONCLUSION The C + R nomograms were more effective in predicting EGFR-TKI efficacy of EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with brain metastases than single clinical or radiomics nomograms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the external validity of the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) competing-risks model for the prediction of small-for-gestational age (SGA) at 11-14 weeks' gestation in an Asian population. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort study in 10 120 women with a singleton pregnancy undergoing routine assessment at 11-14 weeks' gestation. We applied the FMF competing-risks model for the first-trimester prediction of SGA, combining maternal characteristics and medical history with measurements of mean arterial pressure (MAP), uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) and serum placental growth factor (PlGF) concentration. We calculated risks for different cut-offs of birth-weight percentile (< 10th , < 5th or < 3rd percentile) and gestational age at delivery (< 37 weeks (preterm SGA) or SGA at any gestational age). Predictive performance was examined in terms of discrimination and calibration. RESULTS The predictive performance of the competing-risks model for SGA was similar to that reported in the original FMF study. Specifically, the combination of maternal factors with MAP, UtA-PI and PlGF yielded the best performance for the prediction of preterm SGA with birth weight < 10th percentile (SGA < 10th ) and preterm SGA with birth weight < 5th percentile (SGA < 5th ), with areas under the receiver-operating-characteristics curve (AUCs) of 0.765 (95% CI, 0.720-0.809) and 0.789 (95% CI, 0.736-0.841), respectively. Combining maternal factors with MAP and PlGF yielded the best model for predicting preterm SGA with birth weight < 3rd percentile (SGA < 3rd ) (AUC, 0.797 (95% CI, 0.744-0.850)). After excluding cases with pre-eclampsia, the combination of maternal factors with MAP, UtA-PI and PlGF yielded the best performance for the prediction of preterm SGA < 10th and preterm SGA < 5th , with AUCs of 0.743 (95% CI, 0.691-0.795) and 0.762 (95% CI, 0.700-0.824), respectively. However, the best model for predicting preterm SGA < 3rd without pre-eclampsia was the combination of maternal factors and PlGF (AUC, 0.786 (95% CI, 0.723-0.849)). The FMF competing-risks model including maternal factors, MAP, UtA-PI and PlGF achieved detection rates of 42.2%, 47.3% and 48.1%, at a fixed false-positive rate of 10%, for the prediction of preterm SGA < 10th , preterm SGA < 5th and preterm SGA < 3rd , respectively. The calibration of the model was satisfactory. CONCLUSION The screening performance of the FMF first-trimester competing-risks model for SGA in a large, independent cohort of Asian women is comparable with that reported in the original FMF study in a mixed European population. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Reserpine is a drug that is commonly used as an antihypertensive and antipsychotic drug in clinical practice. During our previous research, we found that reserpine treatment in zebrafish larvae can cause depression-like behaviors, but the corresponding mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism by which reserpine exposure affects locomotor behaviors in larval zebrafish through transcriptome analysis. The gene enrichment results showed that the differentially highly expressed genes of zebrafish are mainly enriched in voltage-gated ion channels, dopaminergic synapses and wnt signaling pathways. Selected genes (apc2, cacna1aa, drd2b, dvl1a, fzd1, wnt1, wnt3a, wnt9a and wnt10a) by transcriptomic results was validated by real-time PCR. Consistently, Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor XAV939 may induce reduced behavioral changes in zebrafish larvae, while the Wnt signaling pathway agonist SB415286 reversed the reserpine-induced depressive effects. Our study provides gene transcriptional profile data for future research on reserpine-induced locomotor behavioral changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of small plate assisted anatomical plate and traditional double plate in the treatment of Rüedi and Allgöwer II - III pilon fracture. METHODS AND MATERIALS The data of 68 patients with pilon fracture admitted to Hospital from June 2017 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Study group and control group were divided according to different operation methods, with 34 cases in each group. There were 28 cases of Rüedi and Allgöwer II type and 40 cases of Rüedi and Allgöwer III type. Perioperative period data, Ankle joint function score, visual analog scale (VAS) scores and the incidence of incision complications were analyzed between these two groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in full load time, fracture healing time between these two groups (P > 0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, Ankle joint function score and postoperative incision complication rate in observation group were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Small plate assisted anatomic plate is comparable to traditional double plate in the treatment of pilon fracture in terms of complete loading time, fracture healing time, but the former can shorten the operation time, reduce intraoperative blood loss and effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.

Abstract
Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT-2) functions by uptake of cytoplasmic monoamines into vesicles for storage. Valbenazine (VBZ) is a newly FDA-approved oral VMAT-2 inhibitor used for the treatment of movement disorders such as tardive dyskinesia (TD), and Tourette syndrome (TS). Clinical data shows that VBZ is a relatively safe drug with no cardiotoxicity or hepatotoxicity. However, the effect of VBZ on embryonic development remains unknown. Here, we use zebrafish larvae as an animal model to demonstrate that VBZ exposure causes premature hatching and increased body size and hyperactivity-like behaviors in zebrafish larvae. In addition, VBZ exposure leads to increased dopamine (DA) and Glutamate (Glu) levels. Moreover, an increase of growth hormone (gh) and enriched PI3K/AKT signaling were found in VBZ-exposed zebrafish larvae, which may explain their accelerated development. In summary, VBZ exposure may be developmentally toxic in zebrafish larvae.

Abstract
Monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), as a principal metabolizing enzyme, plays important roles in the metabolism of catecholamines and xenobiotics in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Safinamide, the third-generation reversible MAO-B inhibitor, has potential to alleviate many neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and depression. Exposure to clinical psychotropic drugs often has adverse effects on fetuses. Currently, a variety of studies of safinamide focus on its curative effect and pharmacological effect, while its side effect of embryonic development is barely studied. In this study, we used zebrafish as a model to evaluate the embryonic developmental toxicity of safinamide. Our results revealed that higher concentrations (30 μM) of safinamide treatment caused a decrease in hatching rate and an increase in malformation and mortality in zebrafish larvae. Meanwhile, we observed that lower safinamide exposure (10 μM) increased the body length of zebrafish larvae and resulted in hyperactivity-like behaviors. In addition, an increased trend in dopamine (DA) level was found in 3.3 μM and 10 μM safinamide-exposed groups. Transcriptome analysis identified that safinamide exposure may disturb a variety of physiological processes such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction signaling pathway. In summary, our study reveals that safinamide may cause developmental defects in zebrafish larvae and provides insights into its toxic reactions in early develoment.

Abstract
Effisayil 1 was a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the anti-interleukin (IL)-36 receptor monoclonal antibody, spesolimab, in patients presenting with a generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) flare. Previously published data from this study revealed that within 1 week, rapid pustular and skin clearance were observed in patients receiving spesolimab versus placebo. In this pre-specified subgroup analysis, the efficacy of spesolimab was evaluated according to patient demographic and clinical characteristics at baseline in patients receiving spesolimab (n = 35) or placebo (n = 18) on Day 1. Efficacy was by assessed by achievement of primary endpoint (Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Physician Global Assessment [GPPGA] pustulation subscore of 0 at Week 1) and key secondary endpoint (GPPGA total score of 0 or 1 at Week 1). Safety was assessed at Week 1. Spesolimab was found to be efficacious and had a consistent and favourable safety profile in patients presenting with a GPP flare, regardless of patient demographics and clinical characteristics at baseline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and safety of one- stage bilateral video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for resection of bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules (BMPNs). METHODS We analyzed the clinical characteristics, pathological features, perioperative outcomes and follow-up data of 41 patients with BMPNs undergoing one-stage bilateral VATS from July, 2011 to August, 2021. RESULTS One-stage bilateral VATS was performed uneventfully in 40 of the patients, and conversion to open surgery occurred in 1 case. The surgical approaches included bilateral lobectomy (4.9%), lobar-sublobar resection (36.6%) and sublobar-sublobar resection (58.5%) with a mean operative time of 196.3±54.5 min, a mean blood loss of 224.6±139.5 mL, a mean thoracic drainage duration of 4.7±1.1 days and a mean hospital stay of 14±3.8 days. Pathological examination revealed bilateral primary lung cancer in 15 cases, unilateral primary lung cancer in 21 cases and bilateral benign lesions in 5 cases. A total of 112 pulmonary nodules were resected, including 67 malignant and 45 benign lesions. Postoperative complications included pulmonary infection (5 cases), respiratory failure (2 cases), asthma attack (2 cases), atrial fibrillation (2 cases), and drug-induced liver injury (1 case). No perioperative death occurred in these patients, who had a 1-year survival rate of 97.6%. CONCLUSION With appropriate preoperative screening and perioperative management, one-stage bilateral VATS is feasible and safe for resection of BMPNs.

Abstract
Eukaryotic viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that rely on the host cell machinery to carry out their replication cycle. This complex process involves a series of steps, starting with virus entry, followed by genome replication, and ending with virion assembly and release. Negative strand RNA and some DNA viruses have evolved to alter the organization of the host cell interior to create a specialized environment for genome replication, known as IBs, which are precisely orchestrated to ensure efficient viral replication. The biogenesis of IBs requires the cooperation of both viral and host factors. These structures serve multiple functions during infection, including sequestering viral nucleic acids and proteins from innate immune responses, increasing the local concentration of viral and host factors, and spatially coordinating consecutive replication cycle steps. While ultrastructural and functional studies have improved our understanding of IBs, much remains to be learned about the precise mechanisms of IB formation and function. This review aims to summarize the current understanding of how IBs are formed, describe the morphology of these structures, and highlight the mechanism of their functions. Given that the formation of IBs involves complex interactions between the virus and the host cell, the role of both viral and cellular organelles in this process is also discussed.

Abstract
AimTo evaluate the cost-effectiveness of palbociclib plus fulvestrant in the second-line treatment of women with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer based on the latest published follow-up data from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system.MethodsIn view of the PALOMA-3 trial, a Markov model was built for this purpose, which included three health states: progression-free survival (PFS), progressed disease (PD), and death. The cost and health utilities were mainly derived from the published literature. One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were carried out to verify the robustness of the model.ResultsIn the base case analysis, compared with the placebo plus fulvestrant arm, the palbociclib plus fulvestrant arm yielded an additional 0.65 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) (2.56 QALYs vs. 1.90 QALYs) with an incremental cost of $36,139.94 ($55,482.06 vs. $19,342.12), resulting an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $55,224.90/QALY, which was deeply higher than a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $34,138.28 per QALY in China. The results of one-way sensitivity analysis indicated that the utility of PFS, cost of palbociclib, and cost of neutropenia had a great influence on the ICER.ConclusionsPalbociclib plus fulvestrant is unlikely to be cost-effective in comparison with placebo plus fulvestrant as second-line therapy of women with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Melatonin plays an important role in various beneficial functions, including promoting differentiation. However, effects on osteogenic differentiation, especially in human periodontal cells (hPDLCs), still remain inconclusive. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that play an important role in various biological processes in cells, including energy metabolism and oxidative stress reaction. Furthermore, the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20) is responsible for recognizing and transporting precursor proteins. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the functionality of melatonin on osteogenesis in human periodontal cells and to explore the involved mechanism of mitochondria. METHODS The hPDLCs were extracted and identified by flow cytometry and multilineage differentiation. We divided hPDLCs into control group, osteogenic induction group, and osteogenesis with melatonin treatment group (100, 10, and 1 μM). Then we used a specific siRNA to achieve interference of TOM20. Alizarin red and Alkaline phosphatase staining and activity assays were performed to evaluate osteogenic differentiation. Osteogenesis-related genes and proteins were measured by qPCR and western blot. Mitochondrial functions were tested using ATP, NAD+/NADH, JC-1, and Seahorse Mito Stress Test kits. Finally, TOM20 and mitochondrial dynamics-related molecules expression were also assessed by qPCR and western blot. RESULTS Our results showed that melatonin-treated hPDLCs had higher calcification and ALP activity as well as upregulated OCN and Runx2 expression at mRNA and protein levels, which was the most obvious in 1 μM melatonin-treated group. Meanwhile, melatonin supplement elevated intracellular ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential by increasing mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, hence causing a lower NAD+ /NADH ratio. In addition, we also found that melatonin treatment raised TOM20 level and osteogenesis and mitochondrial functions were both suppressed after knocking down TOM20. CONCLUSION We found that melatonin promoted osteogenesis of hPDLCs and 1 μM melatonin had the most remarkable effect. Melatonin treatment can reinforce mitochondrial functions by upregulating TOM20.

Abstract
The use of clinical psychoactive drugs often poses unpredictable threats to fetal development. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is a key enzyme that regulates dopamine metabolism and a promising target for modulation of cognitive functions. Opicapone, a newly effective third-generation peripheral COMT inhibitor, is used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and possibly to improve other dopamine-related disorders such as alcohol use disorder (AUD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The widespread use of opicapone will inevitably lead to biological exposure and damage to the human body, such as affecting fetal development. However, the effect of opicapone on embryonic development remains unknown. Here, zebrafish larvae were used as an animal model and demonstrated that a high concentration (30 μM) of opicapone exposure was teratogenic and lethal, while a low concentration also caused developmental delay such as a shortened body size, a smaller head, and reduced locomotor behaviors in zebrafish larvae. Meanwhile, opicapone treatment specifically increased the level of dopamine (DA) in zebrafish larvae. The depletion response of the total glutathione level (including oxidized and reduced forms of glutathione) and changed antioxidant enzymes activities in zebrafish larvae suggest oxidative damage caused by opicapone. In addition, enhanced glutathione metabolism and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction were found in zebrafish larvae treated with opicapone, indicating that opicapone treatment caused an oxidation process and immune responses. Our results provide a new insight into the significant developmental toxicity of opicapone in zebrafish larvae.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the risk of total knee replacement (TKR) for primary osteoarthritis (OA) associated with overweight/obesity in the Australian population. METHODS This population-based study analyzed 191,723 cases of TKR collected by the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Registry and population data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The time-trend change in incidence of TKR relating to BMI was assessed between 2015 and 2018. The influence of obesity on the incidence of TKR in different age and gender groups was determined. The population attributable fraction (PAF) was then calculated to estimate the effect of obesity reduction on TKR incidence. RESULTS The greatest increase in incidence of TKR was seen in patients from obese class III. The incidence rate ratio for having a TKR for obesity class III was 28.683 at those aged 18-54 years but was 2.029 at those aged >75 years. Females in obesity class III were 1.7 times more likely to undergo TKR compared to similarly classified males. The PAFs of TKR associated with overweight or obesity was 35%, estimating 14,287 cases of TKR attributable to obesity in 2018. The proportion of TKRs could be reduced by 20% if overweight and obese population move down one category. CONCLUSIONS Obesity has resulted in a significant increase in the incidence of TKR in the youngest population in Australia. The impact of obesity is greatest in the young and the female population. Effective strategies to reduce the national obese population could potentially reduce 35% of the TKR, with over 10,000 cases being avoided.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
How does the expression stability of commonly used reference genes (RG) vary in different human ovarian cells and tissues?
Summary answer
The RG stability differed among human ovarian cell types and tissues, but an RG with high stability was identified for each cell and tissue type.
What is known already
The expression of RGs used to normalize RT-qPCR may vary between different tissues, cell types, and experimental conditions. Hence, selecting the most appropriate RGs is critical in any experimental design to interpret data generated by RT-qPCR with the best accuracy. Human ovarian cells are phenotypically very different and often only available in limited amounts. In several animal species RG expression stability has been validated in oocytes and other ovarian cells, however, the suitability of a single universal RG in the different human ovarian cells and tissues has not been determined.
Study design, size, duration
This is an experimental study performed at a university hospital from January 2021 to September 2021.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The freely available NormFinder software was used to analyze the expression stability of five commonly used RGs (GAPDH, B2M, RPLP0, ACTB, and PPIA) in human oocytes (n = 160), preantral follicles (n = 160), cumulus cells (n = 13), ovarian medulla (n = 8), and ovarian cortex tissue (n = 60). Samples were collected from 29 patients (aged 28 years on average; range 14–36) undergoing unilateral oophorectomy and ovarian tissue cryopreservation for fertility preservation.
Main results and the role of chance
The Normfinder software identified ACTB as the best RG for oocytes and cumulus cells; and B2M for medulla tissue and isolated follicles. Overall, comparisons of the cycle threshold (Ct) values demonstrated a wide variation among the RGs within the same group of samples (P < 0.05), especially for oocytes and preantral follicles with normalized RNA. The genes ACTB and RPLP0 showed the highest levels of expression and PPIA the lowest levels of expression in all types of samples, except for cortex tissue, where PPIA had the highest level of expression and B2M the lowest. These results infer that different results could be obtained when using different RGs for data normalization. The combination of two RGs only marginally increased stability, indicating that using a single validated RG would be sufficient when the available testing material is limited. For cultured ovarian cortex culture, GAPDH or ACTB were found to be the most stable genes depending on culture conditions.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Since human oocytes are scarce and contain a small amount of RNA, only five RGs were evaluated. Moreover, only germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes and preantral follicles (60-80 µm) were tested. Future studies may validate other genes and investigate the effect of oocyte maturation and follicle growth on RG stability.
Wider implications of the findings
Our findings highlight the importance of validating RGs for each cell type or tissue and culture condition. Hence, our results can be of use as guidance for future studies involving gene expression analyses in human ovarian cells and tissues, including oocytes and preantral follicles.

Abstract
BackgroundClinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) disease activity score (DAS) are measuring different aspects of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), they are essential in disease activity assessment. The radiomics was on facilitating readings by clinical specialists via enhancing the medical images in which subtle data differences could be distinguished.ObjectivesIf the additional information of MRI imaging can be considered as a predictor for axSpA disease activity? In this study, we sought to construct a nomogram integrating the sacroiliac joint (SIJ)- MRI radiomics features and the inflammatory biomarkers to assess disease activity and compare it with clinical disease acitivity index in axSpA patients.Methods203 patients data were collected prospectively and confirmed as axSpA were randomly divided into training (n = 143) and validation cohorts (n = 60). 1316 radiomics features were extracted from the 3.0T SIJ-MRI. A Nomogram model was constructed using multivariate logistic regression analysis Incorporating independent clinical factors and radiomics features score (Rad-score). The performance of clinics, Rad-score and nomogram models were evaluated by ROC analysis, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA), and compared with the disease activity index(Ankylosing Spondylitis DAS (ASDAS)-C reactive protein (CRP), ASDAS-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI)) and Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) MRI scoring system.ResultsThe Rad-score allowed a good discrimination in the training (AUC, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.85-0.96) and the validation cohort (AUC, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.73-0.96). The CRP-radiomics nomogram model also showed favorable discrimination in the training (AUC, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.93-0.99) and the validation cohort (AUC, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.80-0.98), better than BASDAI(AUC, 0.58), ASDAS-CRP(AUC, 0.72), ASDAS-ESR(AUC, 0.77), ESR(AUC, 0.72), CRP(AUC, 0.77) and BASFI(AUC, 0.73), had no statistical difference with SPARCC(AUC, 0.87). Calibration curves and DCA demonstrated the nomogram fit well (p > 0.05) and was useful for activity evaluation.ConclusionRad-score showed good discriminative ability to assess disease activity in axSpA. The nomogram can increase the efficacy for assessment axSpA disease activity, which might simplify clinical evaluation.Figure 1.Comparison of ROC curve analyses in prediction models.

BackgroundTyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is an intracellular kinase that mediates signaling of key cytokines (eg, interleukin [IL]-23 and Type I interferons) involved in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases including plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Deucravacitinib is a novel, oral, selective, allosteric inhibitor of TYK2 that achieves high selectivity by uniquely binding to the regulatory domain of the enzyme, rather than to the more conserved active domain. Deucravacitinib showed superior efficacy compared with placebo at 16 weeks in a Phase 2 trial in patients with PsA (NCT03881059). Results from the 16-week, placebo-controlled periods of two 52-week, Phase 3 trials in psoriasis (POETYK PSO-1 and POETYK PSO-2) previously showed that deucravacitinib was significantly more efficacious than placebo and apremilast based on the coprimary endpoints of ≥75% reduction from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) and a static Physician’s Global Assessment (sPGA) score of 0 or 1 (clear or almost clear) at Week 16.ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy of deucravacitinib over 52 weeks in the POETYK PSO-1 and POETYK PSO-2 trials.MethodsPOETYK PSO-1 (NCT03624127) and PSO-2 (NCT03611751) were double-blinded trials that randomised patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (body surface area involvement ≥10%, PASI ≥12, sPGA score ≥3) 2:1:1 to deucravacitinib 6 mg once daily, placebo, or apremilast 30 mg twice daily. Patients receiving placebo were switched to deucravacitinib at Week 16 in both trials. Patients randomised to deucravacitinib in PSO-1 received deucravacitinib continuously through Week 52. PSO-2 included a randomised withdrawal phase in which patients originally randomised to deucravacitinib who had achieved PASI 75 response at Week 24 were rerandomised 1:1 to placebo or deucravacitinib, whereas those who did not achieve PASI 75 response at Week 24 continued receiving deucravacitinib. The proportions of patients achieving PASI 75 and sPGA 0/1 responses were evaluated up to Week 52. Secondary efficacy endpoints evaluated over this period included PASI 90, PASI 100, percentage change from baseline in PASI, sPGA 0 (clear), change from baseline in the Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD) symptom score, and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1 (no impact on patient’s life).ResultsA total of 666 and 1020 patients were randomised in PSO-1 and PSO-2, respectively. Demographic and baseline disease characteristics were balanced across treatment groups; mean age was 46.6 years, mean disease duration was 18.6 years, 18.4% of patients had PsA, and 34.8% had previously used biologic therapy. PASI 75, PASI 90, and PASI 100 responses were maintained from Week 16 to Week 52 in PSO-1 (Figure 1). Additionally, sPGA responses were maintained during this period (sPGA 0/1: 53.6% to 52.7%; sPGA 0: 17.5% to 23.5%, respectively). Patients who switched from placebo to deucravacitinib at Week 16 demonstrated PASI 75 and sPGA 0/1 responses at Week 52 (68.3% and 53.8%, respectively) comparable to those observed in patients who received continuous deucravacitinib treatment from Day 1 (65.1% and 52.7%, respectively). In PSO-2, among deucravacitinib-treated patients who achieved PASI 75 at Week 24 and were rerandomised to continue treatment, responses were maintained at Week 52 in the majority of patients (PASI 75, 80.4% [119/148]; sPGA 0/1, 70.3% [83/118]). Results for percentage change from baseline in PASI, change from baseline in the PSSD symptom score, and DLQI 0/1 were consistent with those reported for PASI and sPGA responses.ConclusionResults from the Phase 3 POETYK PSO-1 and PSO-2 trials demonstrated that deucravacitinib was efficacious through 52 weeks in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Clinical responses were maintained in patients who received continuous deucravacitinib treatment and were improved in patients who switched from placebo at Week 16 to deucravacitinib treatment.AcknowledgementsThis study was sponsored by Bristol Myers Squibb.

Abstract
BackgroundBone marrow oedema (BMO) of the sacroiliac joints (SIJs) is evaluated to diagnose, classify and monitor disease activity in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Available quantitative methodologies rely on human visual assessment, and errors can’t be completely avoided. Radiomics can extract and select discriminative and quantified features from regions of interest (ROIs), making a more accurate and objective description of BMO.ObjectivesTo develop a more objective and efficient method based on radiomics to evaluate BMO of the SIJs by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with axSpA in comparison with Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) scoring system.MethodsFrom September 2013 to July 2021, 523 patients with axSpA underwent 3.0T SIJ-MRI were included, who were randomly classified as training cohort(n=367) and validation cohort(n=156). The optimal radiomics features, selected from the 3.0T SIJ-MRI in the training cohort, were included to build the radiomics model. Four clinical risk predictors were adopted to build the clinical model. The performance of the clinical and radiomics models was evaluated by ROC analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA). Rad-scores were calculated by the radiomics model and SPARCC scores were performed to quantify the BMO of SIJs. We also assessed the correlation between Rad-score and SPARCC score.ResultsThe radiomics model, built by 15 optimal features, showed favorable discrimination about SPARCC score <2 or ≥2 both in the training (AUC, 0.91; 95% CI: 0.88-0.94) and the validation cohort (AUC, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.84-0.94). DCA confirmed that the radiomics model was clinically useful. Furthermore, Rad-score has significant correlation with SPARCC score for scoring the status of BMO (rs=0.78, P< 0.001), and moderation correlation for scoring the change (r=0.40, P=0.005).ConclusionThe radiomics can accurately assess the BMO of the SIJs in axSpA, providing an alternative to SPARCC scoring system. There was a positive correlation between Rad-score and SPARCC score.References[1]van der Heijde D, Sieper J, Maksymowych WP, Lambert RG, Chen S, Hojnik M, et al.

Abstract
Aspergillus flavus causes huge crop losses, reduces crop quality and has adverse effects on human and animal health. A large amount of food contaminated with aflatoxin can greatly increase the risk of liver cancer. Therefore, prevention and control of aflatoxin production have aroused attention of research in various countries. Natamycin extracted from Streptomyces spp. has been widely used in production practice due to its good specificity and safety. Here, we found that natamycin could significantly inhibit fungal growth, conidia germination, ergosterol and AFB1 production by A. flavus in a dose-dependent manner. Scanning electron microscope analysis indicated that the number of conidia was decreased, the outer wall of conidia was destroyed, and the mycelia were shrivelled and tangled by natamycin. RNA-Seq data indicated that natamycin inhibited fungal growth and conidia development of A. flavus by significantly down-regulating some genes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis, such as Erg13, HMG1 and HMG2. It inhibited conidia germination by significantly down-regulating some genes related to conidia development, such as FluG and VosA. After natamycin exposure, the decreased ratio of aflS/aflR caused by the down-regulation of all the structural genes, which subsequently resulted in the suppression of AFB1 production. In conclusion, this study served to reveal the inhibitory mechanisms of natamycin on fungal growth and AFB1 biosynthesis in A. flavus and to provide solid evidence for its application in controlling AFB1 contamination.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the diagnostic performance of the radiomics features of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) in determining haemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis as evaluated by fractional flow reserve (FFR). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 92 patients with clinically suspected coronary artery disease who underwent coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CCTA), invasive coronary angiography (ICA), and FFR examination within 1 month were included retrospectively, and 121 lesions were randomly assigned to the training and testing set. Based on manual segmentation of PCAT, 1,116 radiomics features were computed. After radiomics robustness assessment and feature selection, radiomics models were established using the different machine-learning algorithms. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and net reclassification index (NRI) were analysed to compare the discrimination and reclassification abilities of radiomics models. RESULTS Two radiomics features were selected after exclusions, and both were significantly higher in coronary arteries with FFR ≤0.8 than those with FFR >0.8. ROC analysis showed that the combination of CCTA and decision tree radiomics model achieved significantly higher diagnostic performance (AUC: 0.812) than CCTA alone (AUC: 0.599, p=0.015). Furthermore, the NRI of the combined model was 0.820 and 0.775 in the training and testing sets, respectively, suggesting the radiomics features of PCAT had were effective in classifying the haemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis. CONCLUSIONS Adding PCAT radiomics features to CCTA enabled identification of haemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis.

Abstract
Background According to the differences of antigen and genetic composition, canine coronavirus (CCoV) consists of two genotypes, CCoV-I and CCoV-II. Since 2004, CCoVs with point mutations or deletions of NSPs are contributing to the changes in tropism and virulence in dogs. Results In this study, we isolated a CCoV, designated HLJ-071, from a dead 5-week-old female Welsh Corgi with severe diarrhea and vomit. Sequence analysis suggested that HLJ-071 bearing a complete ORF3abc compared with classic CCoV isolates (1-71, K378 and S378). In addition, a variable region was located between S gene and ORF 3a gene, in which a deletion with 104 nts for HLJ-071 when compared with classic CCoV strains 1-71, S378 and K378. Phylogenetic analysis based on the S gene and complete sequences showed that HLJ-071 was closely related to FCoV II. Recombination analysis suggested that HLJ-071 originated from the recombination of FCoV 79-1683, FCoV DF2 and CCoV A76. Finally, according to cell tropism experiments, it suggested that HLJ-071 could replicate in canine macrophages/monocytes cells. Conclusion The present study involved the isolation and genetic characterization of a variant CCoV strain and spike protein and ORF3abc of CCoV might play a key role in viral tropism, which could affect the replication in monocyte/macrophage cells. It will provide essential information for further understanding the evolution in China.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) are biocompatible carriers that can be employed to deliver different bioactive substances. In the past few decades, many strategies have been developed to encapsulate or attach drugs to RBCs. Osmotic-based encapsulation methods have been industrialized recently, and some encapsulated RBC formulations have reached the clinical stage for treating tumors and neurological diseases. Inspired by the intrinsic properties of intact RBCs, some advanced delivery strategies have also been proposed. These delivery systems combine RBCs with other novel systems to further exploit and expand the application of RBCs. This review summarizes the clinical progress of drugs encapsulated into intact RBCs, focusing on the loading and clinical trials. It also introduces the latest advanced research based on developing prospects and limitations of intact RBCs drug delivery system (DDS), hoping to provide a reference for related research fields and further application potential of intact RBCs based drug delivery system.

Abstract
Dendritic cell-based immunotherapy, in which the antigen is effectively delivered to dendritic cells and then the dendritic cells stimulated by the antigen migrate to draining lymph nodes (DLNs) to induce the CD8+ T-cell immune response, shows great promise for tumor immunotherapy. In this study, we used coassembled nanoparticles formed by Trp2 antigen and the conjugates of short-chain poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and pyropheophorbide-A (PPa) (Trp2/PPa-PEGm) to deliver Trp2 to DCs. Intrinsically self-chelating 64Cu of coassemblies could be used to sensitively image the migration of DCs in vivo by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The coassemblies of the Trp2 antigen were efficiently engulfed by DCs without causing DC cytotoxicity in vitro and induced DC maturation. After injection of DCs labeled by coassemblies of the Trp2 antigen, the homing of DCs to DLNs in vivo could be sensitively observed by PET imaging. The C57BL/6 mice injected with DCs containing the Trp2/PPa-PEGm NP showed antigen-specific immune responses including enhanced interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production, splenocyte proliferation, and percentage of IFN-γ-secreting CD8+ T cells. In addition, C57BL/6 mice inoculated with B16-F10 tumor cells showed delayed tumor growth after immunization with the Trp2/PPa-PEGm NP-labeled DC vaccine and enhanced infiltration of CD8+ T cells in tumors.

Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders in children. The orexigenic hormone ghrelin is important in neuroprotection and neurodevelopment, which may play an important role in psychopathogenesis of ADHD. This study aimed to systematically investigate the genomic and pharmacological manipulations of ghrelin functioning in ADHD-like symptoms in zebrafish models and validated the effects of ghrelin polymorphisms in human subjects with ADHD. We firstly generated ghrelinΔ/Δ zebrafish mutant, which displayed hyperactive, attention deficit-like and impulsive-like behaviors, as well as endophenotypes, mimicking human ADHD. GhrelinΔ/Δ zebrafish exhibited downregulated expression levels of wnt1, wnt3a, wnt5a that are critical for dopaminergic neuron development to possibly regulate their number and spatial organization. Pharmacological blockade of wnt signaling with XAV939 induced a reduced moving activity and less dopaminergic neurons; whereas, wnt agonist SB415286 rescued hyperactivity and dopaminergic neuron loss in ghrelinΔ/Δ zebrafish. In addition, we further identified and validated a SNP, rs696217, on orexigenic hormone preproghrelin/ghrelin (T408T, Met72Met) to be associated with a higher risk of ADHD in a case-controlled association study with 248 subjects with ADHD and 208 subjects of healthy controls. Together, our results reveal a novel endogenous role for orexigenic hormone ghrelin in ADHD, which provides insights into genetic regulation and drug screens for the identification of novel treatments of ADHD.

Abstract
A novel albumin polymer hybrid with a core-shell structure was designed to target delivery of bufalin, which is an antineoplastic monomer with serious cardiotoxicity. The sheath layer was composed of ursodeoxycholic acid (UA)-modified bovine serum albumin (UA-BSA), while the stable core consisted of poly n-butyl cyanoacrylate (PBCA) nanoparticles. The UA-BSA was synthetized, and the substitution degree was characterized. The physical properties of bufalin-loaded UA-modified protein-PBCA nanocomplexes (BF-uPPNCs), such as morphology, particle size, and encapsulation efficiency, were evaluated. FTIR and DSC revealed the bufalin to be in an amorphous state. Furthermore, the in vitro release study indicated a sustained release profile of BF-uPPNCs. The MTT and cellular uptake study demonstrated that BF-uPPNCs significantly improved the inhibitory effect of the bufalin accompanied with an enhanced cell uptake capacity on HepG2 cells. In addition, in vivo research demonstrated that BF-uPPNCs had a better antitumor effect coupled with improved therapeutic effect, and reduced hemolysis, vascular irritation, and cardiotoxicity. This work therefore presented a novel albumin polymer hybrid with favorable stability, efficient tumor-targeted delivery potential, and side effect reduction ability, which can be a potential vehicle for an anticancer drug.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prediction power of HIV infection risk assessment tool and the applicability in MSM in Guizhou province. Methods: MSM were recruited through snowball sampling method. Questionnaire surveys were conducted among the MSM using HIV infection risk assessment tool, and combined with HIV serologic test results, the risk prediction power of HIV infection risk assessment tool was evaluated. Results: A total of 3 379 MSM were recruited from January 2018 to December 2019 in Guizhou. The HIV infection rate was 3.3%(111/3 379). The mean risk scores of HIV positive and HIV negative MSM were (12.15±3.08) and (12.07±3.07), respectively. The difference in risk score was significant between MSM with different HIV status (t=8.69, P<0.001). According to the principle of decision tree, individual risk scores were divided into following three categories: ≤11.96, 11.97-14.80 and >14.80, the HIV infection rate was 0.8%, 4.3% and 8.6% respectively, suggesting that the higher the individual risk score was, the higher the HIV infection rate was (trend χ2=88.18, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher the individual risk score was, the higher the risk of HIV infection was. Compared to the total score ≤11.96, the aOR values at total scores of 11.97-14.80 and >14.80 were 6.34 (95%CI: 3.38-11.88) and 14.07(95%CI: 7.44-26.61), respectively. The risk of HIV infection in Miao ethnic group was higher than that in Han ethnic group (aOR=1.83, 95%CI:1.04-3.21), and the risk of HIV infection in those with education level of primary school and below was higher than that in undergraduates or those with education level of junior college and above (aOR=2.50, 95%CI:1.06-5.88), and the risk of HIV infection was higher in those who had bisexual behaviors than in those who had homosexual behaviors (aOR=1.95, 95%CI:1.19-3.19). The risk of HIV infection was higher in those who had never received HIV testing (aOR=1.53, 95%CI:1.01-2.33). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under ROC (AUC) for HIV infection prediction was 0.751 (95%CI:0.710-0.792, P<0.001). The maximum Youden's index was individual risk score of 12.56, and the sensitivity of the risk assessment tool was 0.838, and its specificity was 0.412. Conclusions: The results of HIV infection risk assessment tool in Guizhou indicated that in MSM the higher the individual risk score, the higher the risk of HIV infection is. The tool can be used to evaluate the risk of HIV infection in MSM, but the specificity should be improved.

Abstract
Karenia mikimotoi is a toxic dinoflagellate that forms harmful blooms in coastal waters, threatening aquaculture worldwide. However, we do not know whether K. mikimotoi has a neurotoxic effect on aquatic animal behavior. Thus, this study investigated potential K. mikimotoi neurotoxicity in zebrafish larvae. Cells of K. mikimotoi were collected at the mid-exponential phase from a batch culture to prepare ruptured cell solutions (RCS). At 6 h post-fertilization (hpf), zebrafish embryos were exposed to different RCS concentrations (0, 102, 103, 104, and 2.5 × 104 cells mL-1). After 120 hpf, treated larvae were collected to analyze locomotor behavior; activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT); and expression of genes related to neurodevelopment. We found that RCS did not affect survival rate, but significantly decreased larval locomotion, as well as their AChE, SOD, and CAT activity. Additionally, the examination of the day-night behavioral experiment revealed RCS decreased locomotion only at night. Zebrafish larvae were also significantly hypoactive in response to light and sound stimulations. Of the neurodevelopment genes, three (th, neurog1, and neurod1) were downregulated, while two (bdnf and manf) were upregulated. Our study suggests that K. mikimotoi neurotoxicity occurs through causing oxidative damage, as well as disorders in the cholinergic system and nervous system development. The results provide new insight that K. mikimotoi in low abundance did not cause significant lethal effect but still exhibited significant neurotoxicity on aquatic animals.

Abstract
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease, which mainly causes inflammation of the synovial joints and destruction of cartilage and bone tissue. At present, a variety of clinical drugs have been applied in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. With the development of nanotechnology, more and more nano-drugs have been applied in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis due to the unique physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials. Treatment of RA with nanomaterials can improve bioavailability and selectively target damaged joint tissue. In this review, we summarized the progress of the application of nanomaterials in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and also proposed challenges faced by nanomaterials in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Rett syndrome is an X-linked dominant, postnatal neurological disorder. Approximately 80-90% of classic Rett syndrome patients harbor mutations in the coding region of MECP2. Somatic or germline MECP2 mosaicism is not rare, and paternal germline MECP2 mosaicism occurs in especially high proportions. Here, we report the case of a Chinese girl with Rett syndrome in whom a heterozygous deletion was found in exon 4 of MECP2 using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. To obtain an accurate region of deletion, we narrowed down the deletion region using real-time quantitative PCR, and subsequent long-range PCR was performed to detect the deletion breakpoints. Surprisingly, three DNA bands from long-range PCR products were observed after gel electrophoresis. To exclude somatic mosaicism, we performed T-A cloning and DNA sequencing, the middle DNA band was proved to be a heteroduplex of the PCR product in vitro. Meanwhile, a prenatal diagnosis was performed for the pregnant mother of the patient. Our study showed that the patient was heterozygous for the deletion of 713-base pairs in exon 4 of MECP2 (MECP2: c.441_1153del713), resulting in a frameshift and premature termination of the 487 amino acid protein at the 154th codon. In summary, we reported a novel heterozygous deletion in the MECP2 gene with heteroduplexes of the PCR product in vitro, which can help in the genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis of disorders of MECP2 defects.

Abstract
Abnormal accumulation of lymphoblasts in the blood and bone marrow is the main characteristic of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Glucocorticoids are effective drugs for ALL, while glucocorticoid resistance is an obstacle to ALL therapy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in the drug resistance and modulate the response of ALL to glucocorticoids. The role of miR-503 in glucocorticoid sensitivity of ALL was investigated in this study. Firstly, T-leukaemic cells were isolated from patients with ALL. The human ALL cell line (CCRF/CEM) was incubated with dexamethasone to establish a glucocorticoid- resistant ALL cell line (CCRF/CEM-R). Data from MTT showed that IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) of dexamethasone in T-leukaemic cells isolated from glucocorticoid-resistant ALL patients or CCRF/CEM-R was increased compared with IC50 in T-leukaemic cells isolated from glucocorticoid- sensitive ALL patients or CCRF/CEM. MiR- 503 was down-regulated in glucocorticoid-resistant leukaemic cells and CCRF/CEM-R. Secondly, overexpression of miR-503 sensitized CCRF/CEM-R to dexamethasone. Moreover, over-expression of miR- 503 also promoted the sensitivity of ALL cells to dexamethasone. Thirdly, miR-503 bound to WNT3A mRNA and negatively regulated the expression of WNT3A. Over-expression of miR-503 reduced protein expression of nuclear β-catenin, and over-expression of WNT3A attenuated the miR-503 overexpression- induced decrease in nuclear β-catenin. Lastly, the over-expression of miR-503-induced increased sensitivity of ALL-resistant cells and CCRF/ CEM-R to dexamethasone was attenuated by overexpression of WNT3A. In conclusion, miR-503 targeted WNT3A mRNA to sensitize ALL cells to glucocorticoids through inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
