Abstract
Objective: To investigate the wearing of masks and the knowledge of masks among high-risk positions for overseas import and pollution transmission. Methods: From May 14 to 17, 2022, a convenient sampling method was used to conduct an online survey among 963 workers in high-risk positions for overseas import and pollution transmission in Beijing. The behaviors of individual use and wearing masks, the distribution and supervision of the unit, the knowledge of personal mask protection and the subjective feelings of wearing masks were analyzed. The χ(2) test and logistic regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors of the correct selection of masks. Results: The majority of the workers in high-risk positions for overseas import and pollution transmission were male (86.0%, 828/963), age concentration in 18-44 years old (68.2%, 657/963), and the majority of them had college or bachelor degrees (49.4%, 476/963). 79.4%(765/963) of the workers chose the right type of masks, female, 45-59 years old and high school education or above were the risk factors for correct selection of masks (P <0.05). Workers had good behaviors such as wearing/removing masks, but only 10.5% (101/963) could correctly rank the protective effect of different masks. 98.4% (948/963) of the workers believed that their work units had provided masks to their employees, and 99.1% (954/963) and 98.2%(946/963) of them had organized training and supervision on the use of masks, respectively. 47.4%(456/963) of the workers were uncomfortable while wearing masks. Conclusion: The overall selection and use of masks among occupational groups in high-risk positions for overseas import and pollution transmission in China need to be further standardized. It is necessary to strengthen supervision and inspection on the use of masks among occupational groups, and take improvement measures to improve the comfort of wearing masks.

Abstract
AIM To explore the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) for evaluating early outcomes of CyberKnife radiosurgery for spinal metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with spinal metastases who were treated with CyberKnife radiosurgery from July 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled. Conventional MRI and DCE-MRI were performed before treatment and at 3 months after treatment. Patients showing disease progression were defined as the progressive disease (PD) group and those showing complete response, partial response, and stable disease were defined as the non-PD group. The haemodynamic parameters (volume transfer constant [Ktrans], rate constant [Kep], and extravascular space [Ve]) before and after treatment between the groups were analysed. Area under the curve (AUC) values were calculated. RESULTS A total of 27 patients with 39 independent spinal lesions were included. The median follow-up time was 18.6 months (6.2-36.4 months). There were 27 lesions in the non-PD group and 12 lesions in the PD group. Post-treatment Kep, ΔKtrans and ΔKep in the non-PD group (0.959/min, - 32.6% and -41.1%, respectively) were significantly lower than the corresponding values in PD group (1.429/min, 20.4% and -6%; p<0.05). Post-treatment Ve and ΔVe (0.223 and 27.8%, respectively) in the non-PD group were significantly higher than that of the PD group (0.165 and -13.5%, p<0.05). ΔKtrans showed the highest diagnostic efficiency, with an AUC of 0.821. CONCLUSIONS DCE-MRI parameters change significantly at an early stage after CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery for spinal metastases. DCE-MRI may be of value in determining the early treatment response.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to assess the influence and contribution, epidemiology, treatment and outcome of thoracic injuries in a cohort of pediatric and adolescent polytraumatized patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS All pediatric and adolescent (age < 18 years) polytraumatized patients with associated thoracic injuries were included in this study. Demographic data, mechanism of injury (MOI), injury severity score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), hemodynamic parameters and pupillary response at ED admission, site of major injury (SOMI), associated chest and non-chest related injuries, length of hospital stay (LOS), procedures performed at the ED as well as outcome variables including mortality and cause of death. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for a poor prognosis and outcome. RESULTS The logistic regression found the following variables decreasing the odds for a "bad outcome": lack of a hemodynamically unstable condition (p = 0.009) and the absence of a pathological pupillary response (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that the severity of concomitant chest injuries in polytraumatized pediatric and adolescent patients contributes substantially to morbidity and mortality. Due to the anatomic features of the immature pediatric bones, careful attention should be drawn to possible severe chest injuries even in the absence of rib fractures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE A retrospective study (level - IV study).

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in older patients appears to be a different disease compared with younger patients with historically lower survival rates. This is related to a variety of factors, including increased treatment-related toxicity, the presence of comorbidities, and biologic differences. In order to better assess the clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and outcome of this particular population, we conducted a population-based, retrospective analysis including 269 patients with HL older than 60 years (median age 71 years, range 60-94), treated between 2000 and 2017 in 15 referral centers across Switzerland. Primary endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and cause-specific survival (CSS). The vast majority of patients were treated with curative intent, either with a combined modality approach (chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy) or with systemic therapy. At a median follow-up of 6.6 years (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.0-7.6), 5-year PFS was 52.2% (95% CI, 46.0-59.2), 5-year OS was 62.5% (95% CI, 56.4-69.2), and 5-year CSS was 85.1.8% (95% CI, 80.3-90.1) for the entire cohort. A significant difference in terms of CSS was observed for patients older than 71 years in comparison to patients aged 60-70 years (hazard ratio 2.6, 1.3-5.0, p = 0.005). Bleomycin-induced lung toxicity (BLT) was documented in 26 patients (17.7%) out of the 147 patients exposed to this compound and was more frequent in patients older than 71 years (15/60, 25%). Outcome of HL pts older than 71 years appeared to decrease substantially in comparison to the younger counterpart. Treatment-related toxicities appeared to be relevant, in particular, BLT. New, potentially less toxic strategies need to be investigated in prospective clinical trials in this particular frail population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary and skeletal muscle microvascular dysfunction have been proposed as main factors in the pathogenesis of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). However, assessment of systemic arterial function has only been indirect thus far; most importantly, no direct link between systemic microvasculature and congestion, one of the core characteristics of the syndrome, has yet been investigated.
Purpose
To provide direct functional and anatomical characterisation of the systemic microvasculature and to explore in vivo parameters of capillary fluid extravasation and lymphatic clearance in HFpEF.
Methods
In 16 patients with HFpEF and 16 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (72±6 and 68±5 years, respectively) we determined peripheral microvascular filtration coefficient (proportional to vascular permeability and area) and isovolumetric pressure (above which lymphatic drainage cannot compensate for fluid extravasation) by venous occlusion plethysmography and collected a skin biopsy for vascular immunohistochemistry and gene expression analysis (TaqMan). Additionally, we measured brachial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and assessed by wire myography the vascular function of resistance arteries isolated from gluteal subcutaneous fat biopsies.
Results
Skin biopsies in patients with HFpEF showed rarefaction of small blood vessels (82±31 vs 112±21 vessels/mm2; p=0.003) and in ex-vivo analysis (n=6/group) we found defective relaxation of peripheral resistance arteries (p<0.001). Accordingly, post-ischaemic hyperaemic response (fold-change vs baseline, 4.6±1.6 vs 6.7±1.7; p=0.002) and FMD (3.9±2.1 vs 5.6±1.5%; p=0.014) were found to be reduced in patients with HFpEF compared to controls.
In the skin of patients with HFpEF we also observed a reduced number (85±27 vs 130±60 vessels/mm2; p=0.012) but larger average diameter of lymphatic vessels (42±19 vs 26±9 μm2; p=0.007) compared to control subjects. These changes were paralleled by reduced expression of LYVE1 (p<0.05) and PROX1 (p<0.001), key determinants of lymphatic differentiation and function.
Whilst patients with HFpEF had reduced peripheral capillary fluid extravasation compared to controls (microvascular filtration coefficient, leg 33.1±13.3 vs 48.4±15.2, p<0.01; trend for arm 49.9±20.5 vs 66.3±30.1, p=0.09), they had lower lymphatic clearance (isovolumetric pressure: leg 22±4 vs 16±4 mmHg, p<0.005; arm 25±5 vs 17±4 mmHg, p<0.001).
Conclusions
We provide direct evidence of systemic dysfunction and rarefaction of small blood vessels in patients with HFpEF. Despite a reduced microvascular filtration coefficient, which is in keeping with microvascular rarefaction, the clearance of extravasated fluid in HFpEF is limited by an anatomically and functionally defective lymphatic system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To understand SARS-Co-V-2 infection and transmission in UK nursing homes in order to develop preventive strategies for protecting the frail elderly residents. METHODS An outbreak investigation involving 394 residents and 70 staff, was carried out in 4 nursing homes affected by COVID-19 outbreaks in central London. Two point-prevalence surveys were performed one week apart where residents underwent SARS-CoV-2 testing and had relevant symptoms documented. Asymptomatic staff from three of the four homes were also offered SARS-CoV-2 testing. RESULTS Overall, 26% (95% CI 22-31) of residents died over the two-month period. All-cause mortality increased by 203% (95% CI 70-336) compared with previous years. Systematic testing identified 40% (95% CI 35-46) of residents as positive for SARS-CoV-2, and of these 43% (95% CI 34-52) were asymptomatic and 18% (95% CI 11-24) had only atypical symptoms; 4% (95% CI -1 to 9) of asymptomatic staff also tested positive. CONCLUSIONS The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in four UK nursing homes was associated with very high infection and mortality rates. Many residents developed either atypical or had no discernible symptoms. A number of asymptomatic staff members also tested positive, suggesting a role for regular screening of both residents and staff in mitigating future outbreaks.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the epidemic characteristics of acute occupational poisoning events in order to state the regularity of outbreak and provide scientific evidences of prevention and control measure in China. Methods: According to the report information from the Management Information System of Public Health Emergency, we analyzed acute occupational poisoning events time distribution, regional distribution, toxicant variety, route of exposure and events detection from 2006 to 2016. Results: The total number of acute occupational poisoning events reported in 26 provinces of China from 2006 to 2016 was 337, causing 2 399 people poisoned, and the fatality rate was 18.09%. Majority of them were higher grade events and the top three provinces of acute occupational poisoning events were Shanghai, Anhui, Shandong. Inhalation is the main cause of poisoning. The acute occupational poisoning events for carrying out poison dectection were accounted for 56.68%. Conclusion: Acute occupational poisoning events in China is reducing year by year, But fatality rate is not decrease. So the country should increase the supervision and management of safety in production, strengthen the safety education of employees and coordination mechanism among different departments.

Abstract
The antigenic determinant CA 125 is a high molecular weight glycoprotein which is elevated in more than 80% of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Despite its good performance as a human tumor marker, only little is known about its physiological function. According to recent publications, CA 125 production and release appear to be related to cellular growth. In order to investigate this putative relationship more closely, we analyzed the pattern of CA 125 production and release by ovarian cancer cells during exponential cell growth, during cell cycle arrest by colchicine and during inhibition of cellular protein synthesis by cycloheximide. The results were correlated with the cell cycle distribution. According to our results, the main determinant of CA 125 release into the culture supernatant is the total cell count. Although cell cycle arrest in the G2 + M phase by means of colchicine treatment resulted in the death of most cells, which was reflected by an increased release of CA 125, no differences in the intracellular production rate between colchicine treated and untreated cells were seen. In contrast, treatment of cells with cycloheximide not only resulted in decreasing cell numbers but also in a complete inhibition of CA 125 production by surviving cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint therapy has dramatically changed treatment options in patients with metastatic melanoma. However, a relevant part of patients still does not respond to treatment. Data regarding the prognostic or predictive significance of preexisting immune responses against tumour antigens are conflicting. Retrospective data suggested a higher clinical benefit of ipilimumab in melanoma patients with preexisting NY-ESO-1-specific immunity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients with previously untreated or treated metastatic melanoma and preexisting humoural immune response against NY-ESO-1 received ipilimumab at a dose of 10 mg/kg in week 1, 4, 7, 10 followed by 3-month maintenance treatment for a maximum of 48 weeks. Primary endpoint was the disease control rate (irCR, irPR or irSD) according to immune-related response criteria (irRC). Secondary endpoints included the disease control rate according to RECIST criteria, progression-free survival and overall survival (OS). Humoural and cellular immune responses against NY-ESO-1 were analysed from blood samples. RESULTS Disease control rate according to irRC was 52%, irPR was observed in 36% of patients. Progression-free survival according to irRC was 7.8 months, according to RECIST criteria it was 2.9 months. Median OS was 22.7 months; the corresponding 1-year survival rate was 66.8%. Treatment-related grade 3 AEs occurred in 36% with no grade 4-5 AEs. No clear association was found between the presence of NY-ESO-1-specific cellular or humoural immune responses and clinical activity. CONCLUSION Ipilimumab demonstrated clinically relevant activity within this biomarker-defined population. NY-ESO-1 positivity, as a surrogate for a preexisting immune response against tumour antigens, might help identifying patients with a superior outcome from immune checkpoint blockade. CLINICAL TRIAL INFORMATION NCT01216696.

Abstract
Summary:Motion in PET/CT leads to artifacts in the reconstructed PET images due to the different acquisition times of positron emission tomography and computed tomography. The effect of motion on cardiac PET/CT images is evaluated in this study and a novel approach for motion correction based on optical flow methods is outlined. The Lukas-Kanade optical flow algorithm is used to calculate the motion vector field on both simulated phantom data as well as measured human PET data. The motion of the myocardium is corrected by non-linear registration techniques and results are compared to uncorrected images.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ipilimumab is a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 antibody that enhances T-cell activity and proliferation. METHODS In a retrospective analysis of 86 patients the clinical benefits of ipilimumab treatment were correlated with laboratory and clinical data. RESULTS A lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) value within the normal range before the start of therapy was significantly correlated with better OS (p ≤ 0.009). An increase in LDH level after two cycles was indicative of a poor outcome, and was significantly negatively correlated with treatment response and overall survival and progression-free survival. 42% of all patients suffered from autoimmune toxicity (CTCAE grades 2-4). The occurrence of autoimmune toxicity clearly correlated with clinical benefit. CONCLUSION Changes in LDH level and side effects correlate with response to therapy and survival.

Abstract
Aims We performed a retrospective, comparative study of elderly patients with an increased risk from anaesthesia who had undergone either anterior screw fixation (ASF) or halo vest immobilisation (HVI) for a type II odontoid fracture. Patients and Methods A total of 80 patients aged 65 years or more who had undergone either ASF or HVI for a type II odontoid fracture between 1988 and 2013 were reviewed. There were 47 women and 33 men with a mean age of 73 (65 to 96; standard deviation 7). All had an American Society of Anesthesiologists score of 2 or more. Results Patients who underwent ASF had a significantly better outcome than those who were treated by HVI. There was a rate of nonunion of 10% after ASF and 23% after HVI. Failure of reduction or fixation occurred in 11 patients (15%) but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Mortality rates were also similar: 9% (n = 3) after ASF and 8% (n = 4) after HVI. Conclusion We conclude that ASF is the preferred method of treatment in this group of elderly patients, having a significantly higher rate of fusion, better clinical outcome and a similar rate of general and treatment-related complications.

Abstract
Calciphylaxis, now better known as Calcific uraemic arteriolopathy (CUA), is an uncommon condition characterised by small vessel calcification and occlusion with resultant painful violaceous skin lesions that typically ulcerate to form non-healing gangrenous ulcers. The syndrome is usually found in patients with renal failure. In this report we describe a 61 year old lady who developed lower limb ulceration secondary to calciphylaxis and discuss the current treatment options for this serious condition.

Abstract
We report on sensitive detection of atmospheric methane employing quantum cascade laser based optical feedback cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (OF-CEAS). An instrument has been built utilizing a continuous-wave distributed feedback quantum cascade laser (cw-QCL) with a V-shaped cavity, a common arrangement that reduces feedback to the laser from non-resonant reflections. The spectrometer has a noise equivalent absorption coefficient of 3.6 × 10-9 cm-1 Hz-1/2 for a spectral scan of CH4 at 7.39 μm. From an Allan-Werle analysis a detection limit of 39 parts per trillion of CH4 at atmospheric pressure within 50 s acquisition time was found.

Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer is rising up, but the mortality rate is decreasing, leading to a growing number of survivors. Most of these women are postmenopausal at diagnosis or will reach menopause following anti-cancer treatments. Most of them have hormone-sensitive tumors and will receive an anti-hormonal treatment. Endocrine therapy is associated with many adverse effects, including a worsening of climacteric symptoms with a negative impact on quality of life and therefore a suboptimal therapeutic adherence. Some supportive therapies can alleviate these adverse effects and should be offered to patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Most common clinical studies with antiepileptic drugs do not reflect medical everyday practice due to their strict in- and exclusion criteria and specifications of treatment regimens. Here we present a large non-interventional registry with the intention to evaluate the spectrum of applications in daily use and the efficacy and tolerability of intravenously given levetiracetam (LEV-iv). METHODS In a prospective approach of 17 neurological and neuropediatric centres in Germany LEV-iv treated patients of all ages were included over a period of 10 months. The observational period was 10 days with daily documentation of LEV-iv administration, type and frequency of seizures, currently used drugs and doses, and adverse events (AEs). In addition, treatment efficacy and tolerability were assessed by patients and physicians at study end as well as practicability of LEV-iv using a five-step scale. RESULTS In 95 patients LEV-iv was administered, 93 were included into the analysis. The median LEV-iv dose was 1500 mg (range 110-6000 mg) per day. Median age was 66 years (range 0.7-90.3 years). The majority of patients (n=70, 75%) suffered from status epilepticus (SE, n=55, 59%) and acute seizure clusters (n=15, 16%). Of those with SE, 41 patients (75%) had SE for the first time. Acute seizure clusters and SE terminated in 83% after LEV-iv administration. A total of 29 adverse events were reported in 17 of the 95 patients from the safety set. Ten of these were at least possibly related to LEV-iv treatment. Slight decrease of blood pressure during the infusion (3 patients each) was captured most frequently. No serious side effect was observed. Physicians rated the efficacy and tolerability of LEV-iv treatment as good or very good in 78% and 82% of the cases, respectively. CONCLUSION In this large observational study of everyday practise the use of LEV-iv exhibited a remarkable good response and tolerability in patients with acute onset seizures (mostly SE). Further randomized controlled studies, like the established status epilepticus trial (ESET) are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
RATIONAL Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors has a major neuromodulatory impact on central nervous system function. Beyond acute activation, chronic nicotine intake has long-lasting effects on cortical excitability in animal experiments, caused by receptor up- or down-regulation. Knowledge about the impact of nicotine on cortical excitability in humans, however, is limited. OBJECTIVES We therefore aimed to explore the effect of nicotine intake on cortical excitability in healthy human smokers and non-smokers. METHODS The primary motor cortex served as model, and cortical excitability was monitored via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Corticospinal excitability and intracortical excitability were recorded before and after application of nicotine patch in both groups. Corticospinal excitability was explored by motor threshold and input/output curve (I/O curve), and intracortical excitability was explored by means of paired-pulse TMS techniques (intracortical facilitation (ICF), short-latency intracortical inhibition (SICI), I-wave facilitation and short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI)). RESULTS The results show that smokers during nicotine withdrawal display increased corticospinal excitability with regard to the I/O curve (TMS intensity 150 % of resting motor threshold) compared to non-smokers and furthermore enhanced SAI and diminished ICF at the intracortical circuit level. After administration of nicotine, intracortical facilitation in smokers increased, while in non-smokers, inhibition (SICI, SAI) was enhanced. CONCLUSION Our results show that chronic nicotine consumption in smokers alters cortical excitability independent from acute nicotine consumption and that acute nicotine has different effects on motor cortical excitability in both groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The intensity of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is typically adjusted by changing the amplitude of the induced electrical field, while its duration is fixed. Here we examined the influence of two different pulse durations on several physiological parameters of primary motor cortex excitability obtained using single pulse TMS. METHODS A Magstim Bistim(2) stimulator was used to produce TMS pulses of two distinct durations. For either pulse duration we measured, in healthy volunteers, resting and active motor thresholds, recruitment curves of motor evoked potentials in relaxed and contracting hand muscles as well as contralateral (cSP) and ipsilateral (iSP) cortical silent periods. RESULTS Motor thresholds decreased by 20% using a 1.4 times longer TMS pulse compared to the standard pulse, while there was no significant effect on threshold adjusted measurements of cortical excitability. The longer pulse duration reduced pulse-to-pulse variability in cSP. CONCLUSIONS The strength of a TMS pulse can be adjusted both by amplitude or pulse duration. TMS pulse duration does not affect threshold-adjusted single pulse measures of motor cortex excitability. SIGNIFICANCE Using longer TMS pulses might be an alternative in subjects with very high motor threshold. Pulse duration might not be relevant as long as TMS intensity is threshold-adapted. This is important when comparing studies performed with different stimulator types.

Abstract
Plesiomonas shigelloides is known to cause mild to cholera-like diarrhea in most infected persons. In immunocompromised patients extra-intestinal manifestations have been described. We report the first case of pneumonia caused by P. shigelloides in a 76-year-old woman who had undergone a curative gastrectomy and esophageal-jejunostomy due to a low differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach (pT2, pN1 pMx, G3, R0, Lauren: intestinal type). The patient was admitted in hospital with clinical signs of pulmonary infection. CT-scan revealed a cavernous lesion in the right upper pulmonary lobe. Bronchial lavage showed a granulocytic inflammation 105CFU/ml P. shigelloides. Although antibiotic treatment led to a decrease of inflammation parameters and decrease of the pulmonary infiltrate the patient died due to development of torsades de pointes tachycardia leading to ventricular fibrillation and hypoxic brain damage.
