Abstract
An undescribed bisflavonoid, named involucrasin D (1), along with two known flavonoids, 2(S)7,3',5'-trihydroxydihydroflavone (2) and sigmone (3) were isolated from the roots of Shuteria involucrata. A further chiral separation of 1 to yielded a pair of enantiomers (+)-1 and (-)-1. The structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic analyses and electron circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Among them, bisflavonoid 1 and its enantiomers displayed remarkable anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of TNF-α and IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone metastasis (BM) is considered a poor prognostic factor of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Confusion exists regarding how to deal with RCC patients with bone-only metastasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS The clinical data of consecutive RCC patients with bone-only metastasis at Peking University Cancer Hospital between 2006 and 2018 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. RESULTS Fifty-four eligible patients were screened from an RCC database of 1,878 metastatic patients. After a median follow-up of 43.6 m, 61.1% of the patients were presented with progression of prior BM or new BM. The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was 16.2 m (95%CI: 11.4-21.0) and 65.2 m, respectively. For the 30 patients with oligo-metastasis (≤3 loci) and 24 ones with multiple-metastasis (>3 loci), the median OS was not reached and 42.0m (95%CI: 12.7-71.2) with statistical difference (P < 0.001). In the oligo-metastasis group, the median PFS of the 15 patients treated with local therapy and of the 13 patients treated with systemic therapy was 14.2 m (95%CI: 5.3-23.3) and 18.0 m (95%CI:15.4-20.6), respectively. In the multiple-metastasis group, the median PFS and OS of the 18 patients treated with systemic therapy was 16.6 m (95%CI: 7.5-25.7) and 63.9 m (95%CI: 21.8-106.0), respectively. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis showed that the number of metastatic sites (oligo/multiple) and International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) score, RCC pathological subtype were significantly associated with prognosis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION RCC patients with bone-only metastases have a favorable prognosis. The number of metastatic sites, IMDC, RCC pathological subtype could serve as survival predictors, which might provide clue of treatment modality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cutaneous Melanocytic Tumor with CRTC1::TRIM11 Fusion (CMTCT) represents a novel and rare entity in the realm of dermatological oncology, characterized by distinct melanocytic differentiation. This particular tumor type has yet to be officially recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). CMTCT is generally perceived as a tumor with a relatively indolent nature; however, it is not devoid of metastatic potential. Therefore, ensuring complete surgical excision of the tumor, coupled with rigorous long-term follow-up, is paramount for patient management. In this context, we report the case of an 18-year-old female patient who presented with a dull red nodule on her left leg. Initial surgical intervention led to a pathological diagnosis of CMTCT, but it was determined that the tumor had not been fully excised. Consequently, a second surgical procedure was undertaken to achieve complete removal of the tumor. During a follow-up period of six months post-surgery, the patient showed no signs of local recurrence or metastasis, indicating a successful outcome. CASE PRESENTATION An 18-year-old female patient noticed a dull red nodule on her left leg three years ago, which exhibited slow growth over time. She underwent a subcutaneous tumor resection. Histological examination under high-power magnification revealed that the neoplasm consisted of epithelioid cells arranged in nests, fascicles, bundles, or sheets. The tumor cells had round or ovoid nuclei with prominent nucleoli and visible mitotic figures. Notably, areas resembling nevus cell clusters were observed. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed melanocytic differentiation. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified a CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for CRTC1 confirmed rearrangement. Consequently, a diagnosis of cutaneous melanocytic tumor with CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion was established. CONCLUSIONS CMTCT is a rare tumor characterized by melanocytic differentiation. In this case, the tumor predominantly comprised epithelioid cells with localized nevus cell clusters. The expression of melanocyte markers could easily lead to a misdiagnosis as cutaneous melanoma. However, several distinguishing features were noted: the tumor was not connected to the epidermis, exhibited low cellular heterogeneity and proliferation index, and showed minimal cellular atypia. Additionally, tests for EWSR1 rearrangement (FISH) and BRAF V600E mutation (PCR-ARMS) were negative.This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach when clinical, microscopic, immunohistochemical, and molecular findings do not align. The presence of nevus cell clusters morphology in the tumor cells enhances our understanding of this disease's histological spectrum and aids in avoiding misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HongTeng Decoction (HTD) is a traditional Chinese medicine that is widely used to treat bacterial infections and chronic inflammation. However, its pharmacological mechanism is not clear. Here, network pharmacology and experimental verification were applied to investigate the drug targets and potential mechanisms of HTD in inflammation treatment. METHODS The active ingredients of HTD were collected from the multi-source databases and clarified by Q Exactive Orbitrap analysis in the treatment of inflammation. Then, molecular docking technology was used to explore the binding ability of key active ingredients and targets in HTD. In vitro experiments, the inflammatory factors and MAPK signaling pathways are detected to verify the anti-inflammatory effect of HTD on the RAW264.7 cells. Finally, the anti-inflammatory effect of HTD was evaluated in LPS induced mice model. RESULTS A total of 236 active compounds and 492 targets of HTD were obtained through database screening, and 954 potential targets of inflammation were identified. Finally, 164 possible targets of HTD acting on inflammation were obtained. The PPI analysis and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that the targets of HTD in inflammation were mostly related to the MAPK signaling pathway, the IL-17 signaling pathway, and the TNF signaling pathway. By integrating the results of the network analysis, the core targets of HTD in inflammation mainly include MAPK3, TNF, MMP9, IL6, EGFR, and NFKBIA. The molecular docking results indicated solid binding activity between MAPK3-naringenin and MAPK3-paeonol. It has been shown that HTD could inhibit the levels of inflammatory factors, IL6 and TNF-α, as well as the splenic index in the LPS-stimulated mice. Moreover, HTD could regulate protein expression levels of p-JNK1/2, and p-ERK1/2, which reflects the inhibitory effect of HTD on the MAPKS signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Our study is expected to provide the pharmacological mechanisms by which HTD may be a promising anti-inflammatory drug for future clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains challenging, with a multitude of treatment options available for Stage III patients. We hypothesized that Stage IIIA outcomes differ by treatment received. MATERIALS/METHODS We performed a retrospective review of NSCLC patients ≥18 years old with Stage IIIA disease treated 1/1/2010-03/01/2022. Demographics, treatment received, treatment outcomes, and failure patterns were collected. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA was used to compare groups. RESULTS Of 352 patients identified, 160 had Stage IIIA NSCLC with a median follow-up of 29.1 months. Patients had a median age of 63 years, 79 (49.4%) were male, and 137 (85.6%) were current/former smokers (with 30 median pack-years). Patients were treated as follows: 17 (11%) surgery alone (S), 91 (57%) definitive radiation ± chemotherapy (CRT), 52 (33%) neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery (Neo). 6 (12%) of the Neo group received chemoimmunotherapy, and 21 (51%) of the 41 CRT patients received adjuvant immunotherapy. Between the three groups, there were no significant differences in tumor size as measured by T-staging (p = 0.83) and baseline FEV1/FVC (p = 0.92). Median PFS was 33.5mo (95% CI 13.2-NA) for group S, 18.4mo (95% CI 12.7-42.2) for CRT, and 19.7mo (95% CI 13.9-NA) for Neo with no significant intergroup difference (p = 0.72). Median OS was 33.5mo (95% CI 13.2-NA) for S, 48.7mo (95% CI 36.0-88.9) for CRT, and 50.9mo (95% CI 41.9-NA) for Neo with no significant intergroup difference (p = 0.94). Among the 17 primary surgical patients, 11 (65%) experienced failure: 6 (35%) local, 5 (29%) regional, and 7 (41%) distant. Among the 91 CRT patients, 57 (63%) experienced failure: 40 (44%) local, 35 (38%) regional, and 28 (31%) distant. Among the 52 Neo patients, 26 (50%) experienced failure: 14 (27%) local, 15 (29%) regional, and 17 (33%) distant. There were no significant differences in rates of local failure (p = 0.26), regional failure (p = 0.59), distant failure (p = 0.79), or any failure (p = 0.41) among the three treatment groups. The most common locations for distant failure were pleural effusions (n = 15, 29%), CNS (n = 14, 27%), and bone (n = 11, 21%). CONCLUSION In this single institution retrospective study, we find no significant differences in PFS, OS, and failure patterns between patients with Stage IIIA NSCLC treated with definitive (chemo)radiation and neoadjuvant therapy. Numeric improvement in PFS in surgery-only patients is consistent with expected patient selection of this group. Further work in the immunotherapy era is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is a rare cancer with an extremely poor prognosis. The average overall survival of patients with metastatic disease is only 1 year. The efficacy of anti-angiogenic agents combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors remains unknown. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old man, initially diagnosed with esophageal NEC, underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and esophagectomy. Although the patient remained disease-free for 11 months, eventually the tumor progressed and did not respond to three lines of combined therapy (etoposide plus carboplatin with local radiotherapy, albumin-bound paclitaxel plus durvalumab, and irinotecan plus nedaplatin). The patient then received anlotinib plus camrelizumab, and a dramatic regression was observed (confirmed by positron emission tomography-computed tomography). The patient has been disease-free for over 29 months and has survived for over 4 years since diagnosis. CONCLUSION Combined therapy with anti-angiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors may be a promising strategy for esophageal NEC, although more evidence is warranted to validate its efficacy.

Abstract
Importance Acral melanoma, known for low tumor mutation burden, responds poorly to immunotherapy. A standard therapy is still lacking. Objective To investigate the activity and safety of camrelizumab (an anti-programmed cell death-1 antibody) plus apatinib (a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 inhibitor) and temozolomide as first-line treatment in patients with advanced acral melanoma. Design, Setting, and Participants In this single-arm, single-center, phase 2 nonrandomized clinical trial, patients with treatment-naive unresectable stage III or IV acral melanoma were enrolled at Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute between June 4, 2020, and August 24, 2021. The data cutoff date was April 10, 2022. Interventions Patients received 4-week cycles of intravenous camrelizumab, 200 mg, every 2 weeks; oral apatinib 250 mg, once daily; and intravenous temozolomide, 200 mg/m2, once daily on days 1 to 5 until disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was objective response rate as assessed by investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (version 1.1). Secondary end points included progression-free survival, time to response, duration of response, disease control rate, overall survival, and safety. Results A total of 50 patients (32 men [64%]; median age, 57 years [IQR, 52-62 years]) were enrolled and received treatment. The median follow-up duration was 13.4 months (IQR, 9.6-16.2 months). The objective response rate was 64.0% (32 of 50; 95% CI, 49.2%-77.1%). The median time to response and duration of response were 2.7 months (IQR, 0.9-2.9 months) and 17.5 months (95% CI, 12.0 to not reached), respectively. The disease control rate was 88.0% (44 of 50; 95% CI, 75.7%-95.5%). The estimated median progression-free survival was 18.4 months (95% CI, 10.6 to not reached). The median overall survival was not reached. The most common grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events were increased gamma-glutamyltransferase levels (15 [30%]), decreased neutrophil count (11 [22%]), increased conjugated bilirubin levels (10 [20%]), and increased aspartate aminotransferase levels (10 [20%]). No treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this nonrandomized clinical trial suggest that camrelizumab plus apatinib and temozolomide may be a potential first-line treatment option for patients with advanced acral melanoma, which warrants further validation in a randomized clinical trial. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04397770.

Abstract
Viscum coloratum (Kom.) Nakai is a well-known medicinal plant. However, the optimal harvest time for V. coloratum is unknown. Few studies were performed to analyze compound variation during storage and to improve post-harvest quality control. Our study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the quality of V. coloratum in different growth stages, and determine the dynamic variation of metabolites. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to quantify 29 compounds in V. coloratum harvested in six growth periods, and the associated biosynthetic pathways were explored. The accumulation of different types of compounds were analyzed based on their synthesis pathways. Grey relational analysis was used to evaluate the quality of V. coloratum across different months. The compound variation during storage was analyzed by a high-temperature high-humidity accelerated test. The results showed that the quality of V. coloratum was the hightest in March, followed by November, and became the lowest in July. During storage, compounds in downstream steps of the biosynthesis pathway were first degraded to produce the upstream compounds and some low-molecular-weight organic acids, leading to an increase followed by a decrease in the content of some compounds, and resulted in a large gap during the degradation time course among different compounds. Due to the rapid rate and large degree of degradation, five compounds were tentatively designated as "early warning components" for quality control. This report provides reference for better understanding the biosynthesis and degradation of metabolites in V. coloratum and lays a theoretical foundation for rational application of V. coloratum and better quality control of V. coloratum during storage.

Abstract
In a Comment on our recent Letter, the authors take issue with our method of refining 2D-IR transmission spectra to remove a background contribution that arises from nonpolaritonic molecules in the cavity. In our response to their Comment, we describe how our approach was motivated by the previous work of the authors, and we present a spatially dependent molecule-cavity Tavis-Cummings model that can account for the significant response from localized molecules with nonzero oscillator strengths. The telltale signature of the localized molecule response is the spectral diffusion dynamics of the bare W(CO)6 molecules in the polar butyl acetate solvent. Inhomogeneous broadening is absent from polaritonic states due to the extreme degree of exchange narrowing in coupling very large numbers of molecules to a cavity mode.

Abstract
TGFβ1 induces age-related bone loss by promoting degradation of TNF receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3), levels of which decrease in murine and human bone during aging. We report that a subset of neutrophils (TGFβ1+CCR5+) is the major source of TGFβ1 in murine bone. Their numbers are increased in bone marrow (BM) of aged wild-type mice and adult mice with TRAF3 conditionally deleted in mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs), associated with increased expression in BM of the chemokine, CCL5, suggesting that TRAF3 in MPCs limits TGFβ1+CCR5+ neutrophil numbers in BM of young mice. During aging, TGFβ1-induced TRAF3 degradation in MPCs promotes NF-κB-mediated expression of CCL5 by MPCs, associated with higher TGFβ1+CCR5+ neutrophil numbers in BM where they induce bone loss. TGFβ1+CCR5+ neutrophils decreased bone mass in male mice. The FDA-approved CCR5 antagonist, maraviroc, reduced TGFβ1+CCR5+ neutrophil numbers in BM and increased bone mass in aged mice. 15-mon-old mice with TGFβRII specifically deleted in MPCs had lower numbers of TGFβ1+CCR5+ neutrophils in BM and higher bone volume than wild-type littermates. We propose that pharmacologic reduction of TGFβ1+CCR5+ neutrophil numbers in BM could treat or prevent age-related osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is used to identify "treatment emergent" forms of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) such as aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC). However, its individual utility as a prognostic marker and the genetic alterations associated with its expression have not been extensively studied in CRPC. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed clinical outcomes and circulating tumor DNA profiles in 163 patients with CRPC and elevated or normal serum CEA. These same patients were then classified as AVPC or non-AVPC and compared to determine the uniqueness of CEA-associated gene alterations. RESULTS Patients with elevated CEA demonstrated higher rates of liver metastasis (37.5% vs. 19.1%, p = 0.02) and decreased median overall survival from CRPC diagnosis (28.7 vs. 73.2 mo, p < 0.0001). In addition, patients with elevated CEA were more likely to harbor copy number amplifications (CNAs) in AR, PIK3CA, MYC, BRAF, CDK6, MET, CCNE1, KIT, RAF1, and KRAS. Based on variant allele frequency we also defined "clonal" single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) thought to be driving disease progression in each patient and found that CEA expression was negatively correlated with clonal AR SNVs and positively correlated with clonal TP53 SNVs. Of these genetic associations, only the increases in clonal TP53 SNVs and KRAS amplifications were recapitulated among patients with AVPC when compared to patients without AVPC. CONCLUSIONS Together these findings suggest that CEA expression in CRPC is associated with aggressive clinical behavior and gene alterations distinct from those in AVPC.

Abstract
Inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) is a class of E3 ubiquitin ligases functioning to support cancer survival and growth. Many small-molecule IAP antagonists have been developed, aiming to degrade IAP proteins to kill cancer. We have evaluated the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of the bacterial outer membrane, on IAP antagonists in treating breast cancer in a mouse model to guide future clinical trials. We show that LPS promotes IAP antagonist-induced regression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) from MDA-MB-231 cells in immunodeficient mice. IAP antagonists such as SM-164, AT-406, and BV6, do not kill MDA-MB-231 cells alone, but allow LPS to induce cancer cell apoptosis rapidly. The apoptosis caused by LPS plus SM-164 is blocked by toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) or MyD88 inhibitor, which inhibits LPS-induced TNFα production by the cancer cells. Consistent with this, MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis induced by LPS plus SM-164 is also blocked by the TNF inhibitor. LPS alone does not kill MDA-MB-231 cells because it markedly increases the protein level of cIAP1/2, which is directly associated with and stabilized by MyD88, an adaptor protein of TLR4. ER+ MCF7 breast cancer cells expressing low levels of cIAP1/2 undergo apoptosis in response to SM-164 combined with TNFα but not with LPS. Furthermore, TNFα but not LPS alone inhibits MCF7 cell growth in vitro. Consistent with these, LPS combined with SM-164, but not either of them alone, causes regression of ER+ breast cancer from MCF7 cells in immunodeficient mice. In summary, LPS sensitizes the therapeutic response of both triple-negative and ER+ breast cancer to IAP antagonist therapy by inducing rapid apoptosis of the cancer cells through TLR4- and MyD88-mediated production of TNFα. We conclude that antibiotics that can reduce microbiota-derived LPS should not be used together with an IAP antagonist for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Aconiti Radix (Chuanwu [CW]), is widely used for the treatment of the chronic and intractable diseases due to its remarkable curative effect. CW has been combined with honey for thousands of years to reduce toxicity and enhance efficacy. This study first clarified compatibility mechanism of CW co-used with honey using a comparative pharmacokinetic idea. We developed and validated a simple, sensitive, specific, and accurate UHPLC-MS/MS method to simultaneously determine five Aconitum alkaloids in rat plasma after oral administration of CW decoction and CW-honey concentrated solution. Pharmacokinetic parameters were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.01 and P<0.05). Compared with CW group, Cmax and AUC0→t were decreased in CW-honey group for three diester-diterpenoid alkaloids (hypaconitine, mesaconitine and aconitine); Tmax and T1/2 were prolonged. However, Cmax and AUC0→t were increased in CW-honey group for two monoester-diterpenoid alkaloids (benzoylaconine and benzoylmesaconine); Tmax was shortened; T1/2 was prolonged. These findings suggest that honey affected the pharmacokinetic behaviors of five Aconitum alkaloids. We speculate that the detoxification and synergism of honey might result from reducing the toxicity of diester-diterpenoid alkaloids and promoting the biological activity of monoester-diterpenoid alkaloids in vivo. This study provides a theoretical basis for the clinical use of CW combined with honey.

Abstract
e14586 Background: Combination therapy of ipilimumab plus PD-1 inhibitors has shown promising efficacy in various tumor types, demonstrating higher rates of response than either agent alone. HBM4003 is a fully human heavy chain only monoclonal antibody to CTLA-4, which is engineered to deplete Treg cells by enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and has shown preliminary anti-tumor activity in phase I (Ph) trial in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Toripalimab is a humanized immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody against PD-1 and has been approved by China NMPA for second-line treatment of metastatic melanoma as single agent. Methods: This is a Ph I study to evaluate the safety, anti-tumor activity, PK/PD and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of HBM4003 in combination with toripalimab. In part 1 (dose-escalation, presented here), pts were enrolled to receive HBM4003 at 3 dose levels (DLs) (0.03 mg/kg Q3W, 0.1 mg/kg Q3W, and 0.3 mg/kg Q3W) combined with toripalimab 240 mg. Part 2 is a dose-expansion phase. ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT04727164. Results: The study is ongoing. As of 30 Nov 2021, in total 11 pts have been treated at 1 site in China, including 9 pts with melanoma, 1 pt with renal cell carcinoma, and 1 pt with urothelial carcinoma. 4 pts received ≥ 2 lines of previous systemic therapies and 8 received previous PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. The median follow-up time is 2.5 months. The most common HBM4003-related treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) (≥ 10%) of all grades was leukopenia (4 [36.4%] pts), followed by lymphopenia (3 [27.3%] pts). Grade (Gr) 3 TRAE occurred in 2 (18.2%) pts: lymphopenia and diarrhea. All other TRAEs were Gr 1 or 2. There was 1 DLT (0.3 mg/kg Q3W): Gr 2 colitis and Gr 3 diarrhea, which were also considered as treatment-related serious adverse events (TRSAEs) and led to discontinuation of HBM4003 and toripalimab. No DLT was observed in other two DLs. No other TRSAE and TRAE leading to treatment discontinuation was reported. At the 0.3 mg/kg Q3W DL, 6 pts were evaluable for efficacy: 2 had SD as best response, whereas 1 pt had PR as best response (mucosal melanoma, 2 lines of previous treatment including toripalimab), with tumor shrinkage of 32.6% (Week 12). HBM4003 showed dose-proportional PK. In peripheral blood, the temporal depletion of Treg cells, sustaining increase of CD4+Ki67+ T cells together with CD8+Ki67+ T cells were observed at all 3 DLs and were dose-dependent. PK and PD data appeared no potential interaction between HBM4003 and toripalimab. Conclusions: HBM4003 0.3 mg/kg Q3W+ toripalimab showed promising antitumor activity and a tolerable safety profile in advanced melanoma. Hence, 0.3 mg/kg Q3W was selected as the recommended dose for dose-expansion in advanced melanoma. Clinical trial information: NCT04727164. [Table: see text]

Abstract
4563 Background: PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)0have demonstrated activity in the postplatinum and platinum-ineligible settings for advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC). As only around 30% of patients with aUC can tolerate platinum standard treatment, first-line ICIs combined with non-platinum drugs have certain research value. Therefore we assessed the safety and efficacy of anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody Socazolimab in combination with nab-paclitaxel as first line therapy in aUC (NCT04603846). Methods: This is a multi-center,single-arm, phase Ib study which enrolled aUC patients with treatment-naive or first recurrence more than 6 months after the end of adjuvant chemotherapy in China. Eligible patients received Socazolimab (5mg/kg) and nab-paclitaxel (260mg/m2) every 3 weeks. Primary endpoint was to investigate the safety and tolerability of nab-paclitaxel in combination with Socazolimab. Second endpoints were the objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results: 20 patients were enrolled, including 5 renal pelvis urothelial carcinoma, 8 bladder urothelial carcinoma, and 7 ureteral carcinoma. The median age was 69 years. As of January 14, 2022, the median follow-up time was 5.49 months. Median number of treatment cycles was 6.5 cycles. No patients had dose limiting toxicity. Among the 17 patients who had received at least one tumor assessment, 8 patients achieved partial responses. ORR was 52.94% (95% CI, 27.81-77.02). DCR was 88.24% (95% CI, 63.56-98.54). Median PFS was 8.18 months (95% CI, 5.32-13.60). Adverse reactions related to the study drug were mainly Grade 1-2. Common adverse reactions included rash (6/20,30%), increased alanine aminotransferase (6/20, 30%), increased γ-glutamyltransferase (4/20, 20%),sinus bradycardia (4/20, 20%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (4/20, 20%),pruritus (3/20, 15%). Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events occurred in 4 (20%) patients, mainly Grade 3 increases in alanine aminotransferase (2/20, 10%). No confirmed treatment-related deaths occurred, and no treatment-related deaths occurred, and no new safety signals were observed. Conclusions: Socazolimab combined with nab-paclitaxel as first-line treatment was effective and well-tolerated in Chinese patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma, warranting phase II trials. Clinical trial information: NCT04603846.

Abstract
9512 Background: A phase IB trial had showen promising antitumor activity with toripalimab (T, a PD-1 antibody) plus axitinib (A, a VEGF receptor inhibitor) in treatment-naive unresectable or metastatic mucosal melanoma. Now we conducted a phase II trial to compare the combined treatment with monotherapy. Methods: In this randomized, controlled, phase II trial, patients with pathologically confirmed treatment-naive unresectable or metastatic mucosal melanoma were stratified by PD-L1 expression and randomized 1:1:1 into three groups to receive treatment of T+A (toripalimab 240 mg i.v. every 3 weeks, axitinib 5 mg orally twice a day), T (toripalimab 240 mg i.v. every 3 weeks) or A (axitinib 5 mg orally twice a day). Subjects in T or A who meet the criteria after disease progression may cross over to receive T+A. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included Objective response rate (ORR), Duration of response (DOR), overall survival (OS), and safety. The protocol was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03941795). This is the interim analysis for efficacy and safety. Results: Between Nov 2019 and Jan 2022, 51 patients were randomized (18 to T+A, 20 to T, and 13 to A due to preliminary efficacy analysis). Anatomic site of head and neck, gastrointestinal, gynecological were 49.0%, 29.4%, 21.6%, respectively. Stage II or III unresectable, M1a, M1b, M1c were 3.9%, 23.5%, 17.6%, 51.0%, respectively. PD-L1 positivity was defined as ≥1% of tumor cells and/or infiltrating immune cells and were identified in 55.6%, 45.0%, 53.8% patients in T+A, T, A group, respectively. 17, 17 and 12 patients could be evaluated in T+A, T and A group, respectively. 24 patients from T or A crossover to T+A group. At a median follow-up of 6.60 months, patients receiving T+A had a higher median PFS (5.83 vs 2.80 vs 1.40 months; HR = 0.538; 95% CI, 0.237 to 1.221; HR = 0.444; 95% CI, 0.182 to 1.081; P = 0.170), ORR (35.3% (29.7% if including crossover patients ) vs 17.6% vs 8.3%), DOR (82.4% (70.3% if including crossover patients) vs 52.9% vs 58.3%) versus T or A group. The median OS was not reached. 80.4% patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The most common TRAEs were mild (grade 1 or 2) and included diarrhea, proteinuria, hand and foot syndrome, fatigue, elevated transaminase, elevated bilirubin, hypertension, hypo- or hyperthyroidism, and rash. Grade 3 or greater TRAEs occurred in 33.3%, 30.0%, 30.8% of patients in T+A, T, A groups. Conclusions: Toripalimab plus axitinib showed promising antitumor activity versus toripalimab or axitinib alone in patients with treatment-naive unresectable or metastatic mucosal melanoma. Clinical trial information: NCT03941795.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by enhanced bone resorption and relatively reduced bone formation. There is an unmet need to develop new agents with both antiresorptive and anabolic effects to treat osteoporosis, although drugs with either effect alone are available. A small molecular compound, plumbagin, was reported to inhibit receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand-induced osteoclast (OC) differentiation by inhibiting IκBα phosphorylation-mediated canonical NF-κB activation. However, the key transcriptional factor RelA/p65 in canonical NF-κB pathway functions to promote OC precursor survival but not terminal OC differentiation. Here, we found that plumbagin inhibited the activity of NF-κB inducing kinase, the key molecule that controls noncanonical NF-κB signaling, in an ATP/ADP-based kinase assay. Consistent with this, plumbagin inhibited processing of NF-κB2 p100 to p52 in the progenitor cells of both OCs and osteoblasts (OBs). Interestingly, plumbagin not only inhibited OC but also stimulated OB differentiation in vitro. Importantly, plumbagin prevented trabecular bone loss in ovariectomized mice. This was associated with decreased OC surfaces on trabecular surface and increased parameters of OBs, including OB surface on trabecular surface, bone formation rate, and level of serum osteocalcin, compared to vehicle-treated mice. In summary, we conclude that plumbagin is a NF-κB-inducing kinase inhibitor with dual anabolic and antiresorptive effects on bone and could represent a new class of agent for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) has been reported to function as a regulatory factor in several cancers. However, its biological functions and underlying mechanisms in HCC remain to be uncovered. Here, we aimed to explore the effect of SLPI in HCC. In our study, we found that the mRNA and protein expression levels of SLPI were significantly down-regulated in HCC tissues and hepatoma cell lines and low level of SLPI predicted worse survival in our HCC cohorts. In term of function, silencing of SLPI markedly promoted whereas overexpression SLPI suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion capabilities of HCC cells in vitro, and ectopic expression of SLPI inhibited the tumorigenicity of HCC cells in vivo. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that SLPI played a protective role in HCC progression via activating endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress)-mediated apoptosis of hepatoma cells, which could be regulated by MAPK signaling pathways. In summary, our findings highlight that SLPI could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and putative tumor suppressor by enhancing ER stress-induced apoptosis in HCC cells mediated by MAPK signaling pathways, which provides new insights into promising therapeutic targets for HCC treatment.

Abstract
The risk of plague epidemics and relapse of various types of plague foci persists in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. For Marmota sibirica plague foci, the animal plague has not been found but antibody has been detected positive. Nowadays, Marmota sibirica has been increasing in population and distribution in China. In bordering countries Mongolia and Russia, the animal plague has been continuously prevalent. For Spermophilus dauricus plague foci, the animal plague has been taken place now and then. Compared to the above foci, the animal plague is most prevalent in Meriones unguiculatus plague foci and frequently spread to humans. Due to higher strain virulence and historical disaster in Marmota sibirica plague foci and Spermophilus dauricus plague foci, plague prevention and control should be strengthened on these foci. In addition to routine surveillance, epidemic dynamics need to be further monitored in these two foci, in order to prevent their relapse and spread to humans.

Abstract
The risk of osteoporosis is increased in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy has markedly improved the outcomes of RA patients but does not improve osteoporosis in some reports. This could be a combined result of disease severity and other therapeutic agents, such as glucocorticoids that accelerate osteoporosis progression. We evaluated the effects of anti-TNF therapy on osteoporosis in an animal model of RA and explored the possible mechanisms involved. Six-week-old TNF transgenic (TNF-Tg) mice with early stage erosive arthritis were treated with TNF antibody (Ab) or control immunoglobulin (IgG) weekly for 4 weeks. We found that TNF Ab completely blocked the development of erosive arthritis in TNF-Tg mice, but only slightly increased vertebral bone mass, associated with reduction in parameters of both bone resorption and formation. Similarly, TNF Ab slightly increased trabecular bone mass in tibias of 8-month-old TNF-Tg mice with advanced erosive arthritis. Interestingly, TNFα increased osteoblast differentiation from mouse bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) containing large number of macrophages but not from pure mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs). TNFα-polarized macrophages (TPMs) did not express iNos and Arginase 1, typical markers of inflammatory and resident macrophages. Interestingly, TPMs stimulated osteoblast differentiation, unlike resident and inflammatory macrophages polarized by IL-4 and interferon-λ, respectively. RNA-seq analysis indicated that TPMs produced several anabolic factors, including Jagged1 and insulin like 6 (INSL6). Importantly, inhibition of either Jagged1 or INSL6 blocked TNFα-induced osteoblast differentiation. Furthermore, INSL6 Ab significantly decreased the expansion of TNF-induced MPCs in BMSCs, and anti-TNF Ab reduced INSL6 expression by macrophages in vitro and in TNF-Tg mice in vivo. We conclude that TPMs produce INSL6 to stimulate bone formation and anti-TNF Ab blocks not only enhanced bone resorption but also the anabolic effect of TPMs on bone, limiting its effect to increase bone mass in this model of RA. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Strong coupling between vibrational transitions in molecules within a resonant optical microcavity leads to the formation of collective, delocalized vibrational polaritons. There are many potential applications of "polaritonic chemistry", ranging from modified chemical reactivity to quantum information processing. One challenge in obtaining the polaritonic response is removing a background contribution due to the uncoupled molecules that generate an ordinary 2D-IR spectrum whose amplitude is filtered by the polariton transmission spectrum. We show that most features in 2D-IR spectra of vibrational polaritons can be explained by a linear superposition of this background signal and the true polariton response. Through a straightforward correction procedure, in which the filtered bare-molecule 2D-IR spectrum is subtracted from the measured cavity response, we recover the polaritonic spectrum.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase is a promising target for the treatment of diabetes. Drug repurposing can increase the chances of discovering an active inhibitor. Therefore, this study aimed to identify potential α-glucosidase inhibitor using drug repurposing and in silico strategies. We identified critical amino acid residues of the three α-glucosidase proteins. Based on cross molecular docking studies of three α-glucosidase proteins and drugs in the FDA database, we screened hits with the favorable binding affinities and modes targeting the three proteins. Subsequently, an in vitro activity assay showed that raloxifene was an excellent inhibitor of α-glucosidase. Moreover, molecular dynamics simulations of raloxifene and three proteins were performed to assess the stability of the protein-hit systems in physiological conditions and clarify protein-hit interactions. We also performed the binding free energy calculation, Hirshfeld surface and alanine scanning mutagenesis analyses. These results demonstrated that binding between raloxifene and the three proteins was stable, and the critical amino acid residues of the three proteins formed stable contacts with raloxifene. The molecular mechanisms agree well with its activity, reinforcing that raloxifene is a candidate α-glucosidase inhibitor. Our study smoothes the path for the development of novel a-glucosidase inhibitors with high efficacy and low toxicity for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
The event rate, energy distribution and time-domain behaviour of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) contain essential information regarding their physical nature and central engine, which are as yet unknown1,2. As the first precisely localized source, FRB 121102 (refs. 3-5) has been extensively observed and shows non-Poisson clustering of bursts over time and a power-law energy distribution6-8. However, the extent of the energy distribution towards the fainter end was not known. Here we report the detection of 1,652 independent bursts with a peak burst rate of 122 h-1, in 59.5 hours spanning 47 days. A peak in the isotropic equivalent energy distribution is found to be approximately 4.8 × 1037 erg at 1.25 GHz, below which the detection of bursts is suppressed. The burst energy distribution is bimodal, and well characterized by a combination of a log-normal function and a generalized Cauchy function. The large number of bursts in hour-long spans allows sensitive periodicity searches between 1 ms and 1,000 s. The non-detection of any periodicity or quasi-periodicity poses challenges for models involving a single rotating compact object. The high burst rate also implies that FRBs must be generated with a high radiative efficiency, disfavouring emission mechanisms with large energy requirements or contrived triggering conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE The combination of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) blockade provides promising therapeutic opportunities for advanced mucosal melanoma in early phase trials. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen for advanced mucosal melanoma in the real world. METHODS Patients with advanced mucosal melanoma received an anti-PD-1 antibody plus the VEGFR inhibitor axitinib until confirmed disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In addition, those with liver metastasis were allowed to take hepatic transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation (TACE). The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), time to treatment failure (TTF), duration of response (DOR), overall survival (OS) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). RESULTS Eighty-one and sixty-six patients received axitinib plus immunotherapy as first-line and salvage therapy, respectively. Overall, ORR was 24.5% (95% CI, 17.3-31.6), DCR was 72.7% (95% CI, 65.3-80.1). Median TTF, DOR and OS were 5.2 months (95% CI, 3.7-6.6), 9.2 months (95% CI, 7.2-11.2) and 11.1 months (95% CI, 7.2-15.0). ORR was 30.0% (95% CI, 19.7-40.3) and 17.5% (95% CI, 7.8-27.1) as first-line and salvage therapy, respectively. No statistical difference among the primary sites was noted for ORR. The ORR of patients with liver metastasis with or without hepatic TACE was 26.1% (95% CI, 6.7-45.5) and 15.0% (95% CI, 2.1-32.1), respectively (P = 0.467). Elevated LDH and poor ECOG status are negative predictive factors. CONCLUSION This is the largest analysis of anti-PD-1 plus VEGFR inhibitor therapy for mucosal melanoma to date. Immunotherapy plus anti-angiogenesis is applicable for advanced mucosal melanoma, especially as front-line. Hepatic TACE might act synergistically with systemic immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis.

Abstract
e21588 Background: Primary mucosal melanoma arising in the urinary tract is rare and poorly characterized. Methods: The records of patients with urological mucosal melanoma who presented to the department of Renal Cancer and Melanoma of Peking University Cancer Hospital between September, 2004 and April, 2019 were reviewed. Available clinicopathological and molecular characteristics were summarized, including pathological parameters, gene mutation, primary surgical intervention, systemic treatment and clinical course. The rates of local recurrence rate, loco-regional lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were assessed. American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM Staging System for bladder cancer/renal pelvis and ureter cancer/urethral carcinoma (8th ed., 2017) were adopted for staging. Results: Fifty-eight patients were involved in the study with a median age of 62.5 years (range: 32-82). The anatomic sites of the primary urological mucosal melanomas were from the urethra (89.7%), bladder (6.9%), ureter (0%) and kidney (0%), and the left (4.4%) were from multiple loci. At initial diagnosis, 75.9% (n=44) were stage I/II disease, 1.7% (n=1) stage III, and 22.4% (n=13) stage IV. There was 3.4% incidence of CKIT mutation and 1.7% of BRAF mutation. After median follow-up of 22.6 mo, 31.4% (16/51) relapsed locally after organ-preserved surgery. 21.6% (11/51) and 39.2% (20/51) developed metastases to reginal lymph nodes and distance, respectively. The median relapse free survival and median overall survival were 12.2 (95%CI: 7.9-16.4) mo and 33.9 (95%CI: 19.2-48.6) mo, respectively. Univariate Cox analysis showed that TNM stage and systemic adjuvant therapy were the prognostic factors of OS, while no association was found with Breslow thickness, miotic rate, ulceration and gender. Conclusions: Urological mucosal melanoma predominantly arises from lower urinary tract with rare BRAF and CKIT mutation. AJCC TNM Staging System for urothelial carcinoma is proved practical for urothelial melanoma, which should be validated in larger population. Future research is required to identify adjuvant treatment approaches to improve disease outcomes.

Abstract
e18042 Background: The median over survival (OS) of resected head and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM) is 49.0 months. About 65% of patients experience local recurrence or distant metastasis after surgery. Therefore, adjuvant therapy is critical to improve the poor prognosis. Methods: Data regarding HNMMs with radical surgery (stage III-IVa, AJCC HNMM 8th version) between September 1, 2006 and February 28, 2020 at Peking University Cancer Hospital was collected retrospectively. Postoperative radiotherapy was usually prescribed as GTV 60-70Gy/CTV 60Gy/30f. Patients were divided into four groups by the adjuvant regimens: radiotherapy+chemotherapy (RC), chemotherapy (C), radiotherapy (R) and observation (O). Results: In total, 368 patients were enrolled, including 104 RC,114 C, 53 R, 97 O, respectively. After median follow-up of 63.9 mo (range: 0.9-146.7), the median local relapse-free survival (LRFS) was 10.1 mo (95%CI: 6.7-13.6) in the O group, as compared with 65.9 mo (95%CI: 31.7-100.1, P<0.001) in the R group, 75.6 mo (95%CI: 50.1-101.0, P<0.001) in the C group, and 84.6 mo (95%CI: 48.5-120.8, P<0.001) in the RC group. The median distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) was 13.7 mo (95%CI: 8.0-19.5) in the O group, 15.3 mo (95%CI: 8.7-21.9, P = 0.898) in the R group, as compared with 25.7 mo (95%CI: 14.6-36.8, P = 0.001) in the C group, 49.3 mo (95%CI: 32.6-66.0, P<0.001) in the RC group. Estimated OS was 36.4 mo (95%CI: 24.0-48.8) in the O group, as compared with 30.8 mo (95%CI: 23.0-38.6, P = 0.733) in the R group, 40.8 mo (95%CI: 34.8-46.8, P = 0.289) in the C group, 58.2 mp (95%CI: 36.4-79.9, P = 0.002) in the RC group. Primary location, age, gender, UICC staging and adjuvant regimens were included for multivariate Cox analysis. With regard to OS, UICC stage and RC were the prognostic factors. With regard to DMFS, UICC stage, RC and C were the prognostic factors. With regard to LRFS, UICC stage, RC, R, C were the prognostic factors. Conclusions: It is the largest study on the role of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy on HNMM till now. The results demonstrate that postoperative radiotherapy improves LRFS but has no impact on DMFS, while adjuvant radiotherapy plus chemotherapy prolongs OS. It further validates the clinical practice of UICC stage of HNMM, which might shed lights on the study of the whole mucosal melanoma.

Abstract
Background: The best response and survival outcomes between advanced melanoma patients treated with the anti-PD-1 monotherapy vary greatly, rendering a risk model in need to optimally stratify patients based on their likelihood to benefit from the said treatment. Methods: We performed an ad hoc analysis of 89 advanced melanoma patients treated with the anti-PD-1 monotherapy from two prospective clinical trials at the Peking University Cancer Hospital from April 2016 to May 2018. Clinicodemographical characteristics, baseline and early-on-treatment (median 0.6 months after anti-PD-1 monotherapy initiation) routine laboratory variables, including complete blood count and general chemistry, and best response/survival data were extracted and analyzed in both univariate and multivariate logistic and Cox proportional hazard models. Results: After three rounds of screening, risk factors associated with a poorer PFS included a high pre-treatment neutrophil, derived neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), low pre-treatment hemoglobin, and low early-on-/pre-treatment fold change of eosinophil; those with a poorer OS included a high pre-treatment neutrophil, eosinophil, PLT, early-on/pre-treatment fold change of LDH and neutrophil; and those with a poorer best response included a high pre-treatment NLR and early-on-/pre-treatment LDH fold change. Risk models (scale: low, median-low, median high, and high risk) were established based on these risk factors as dichotomous variables and M stage (with vs. without distant metastasis) for PFS (HR 1.976, 95% CI, 1.507–2.592, P < 0.001), OS (HR 2.348, 95% CI, 1.688–3.266), and non-responder (OR 3.586, 95% CI, 1.668–7.713, P = 0.001), respectively. For patients with low, median-low, median-high, and high risks of developing disease progression (PD), six-month PFS rates were 64.3% (95% CI, 43.5–95.0%), 37.5% (95% CI, 22.4–62.9%), 9.1% (95% CI, 3.1–26.7%), and 0%, respectively. For patients with OS risks of low, median-low, median-high, and high, OS rates at 12 months were 82.5% (95% CI, 63.1–100%), 76.6% (95% CI, 58.4–100%), 42.1% (95% CI, 26.3–67.3%), and 23.9% (95% CI, 11.1–51.3%), respectively. For patients with risks of low, median-low, median-high, and high of being a non-responder, objective response rates were 50.0% (95% CI, 15.7–84.3%), 27.8% (95% CI, 9.7–53.5%), 10.3% (95% CI, 2.9–24.2%), and 0%, respectively. Conclusion: A risk scoring model based on the clinicodemographical characteristics and easily obtainable routinely tested laboratory biomarkers may facilitate the best response and survival outcome prediction and personalized therapeutic decision making for the anti-PD-1 monotherapy treated advanced melanoma patients in Asia.

Abstract
Two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectroscopy provides access to equilibrium dynamics with the extraction of the frequency-fluctuation correlation function (FFCF) from the measured spectra. Several different methods of obtaining the FFCF from experimental spectra, such as the center line slope (CLS), ellipticity, phase slope, and nodal line slope, all depend on the geometrical nature of the 2D line shape and necessarily require spectral extent in order to achieve a measure of the FFCF. Amplitude measures, on the other hand, such as the inhomogeneity index, rely only on signal amplitudes and can, in principle, be computed using just a single point in a 2D spectrum. With a pulse shaper-based 2D-IR spectrometer, in conjunction with phase cycling, we separate the rephasing and nonrephasing signals used to determine the inhomogeneity index. The same measured data provide the absorptive spectrum, needed for the CLS. Both methods are applied to two model molecular systems: tungsten hexacarbonyl (WCO6) and methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl [Cp'Mn(CO)3, MCMT]. The three degenerate IR modes of W(CO)6 lack coherent modulation or noticeable intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR) and are used to establish a baseline comparison. The two bands of the MCMT tripod complex include intraband coherences and IVR as well as likely internal torsional motion on a few-picosecond time scale. We find essentially identical spectral diffusion, but faster, non-equilibrium dynamics lead to differences in the FFCFs extracted with the two methods. The inhomogeneity index offers an advantage in cases where spectra are complex and energy transfer can mimic line shape changes due to frequency fluctuations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to elucidate the role of circ-RPL15 in the progression of glioma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Circ-RPL15 levels in glioma tissues and normal brain tissues were detected. Subcellular distribution of circ-RPL15 was examined. The binding between miR-146b-3p and circ-RPL15 was verified by Luciferase assay. Potential targets of miR-146b-3p were further determined. The influences of the circ-RPL15/miR-146b-3p/VEGFA feedback loop on proliferative and migratory abilities in T98G and U251 cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assay, respectively. RESULTS Circ-RPL15 and VEGFA were upregulated in glioma tissues than normal ones, whereas miR-146b-3p was downregulated. Circ-RPL15 was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm. The interaction in the circ-RPL15/miR-146b-3p/VEGFA feedback loop was indicated by Luciferase assay, and it markedly promoted proliferative and migratory abilities in glioma. CONCLUSIONS Circ-RPL15 triggers proliferative and migratory potentials in glioma by competitively binding miR-146b-3p and thus upregulates VEGFA.

Abstract
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) based on nonfullerene acceptors are now approaching commercially viable efficiencies. One key to their success is efficient charge separation with low potential loss at the donor-acceptor heterojunction. Due to the lack of spectroscopic probes, open questions remain about the mechanisms of charge separation. Here, we study charge separation of a model system composed of the donor, poly[(2,6-(4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene))-alt-(5,5-(1',3'-di-2-thienyl-5',7'-bis(2-ethylhexyl)benzo[1',2'-c:4',5'-c']dithiophene-4,8-dione) (PBDB-T), and the nonfullerene acceptor, 3,9-bis(2-methylene-(3-(1,1-dicyanomethylene)-indanone))-5,5,11,11-tetrakis(4-hexylphenyl)-dithieno[2,3-d:2',3'-d']-s-indaceno[1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene (ITIC), using multidimensional spectroscopy spanning the visible to the mid-infrared. We find that bound polaron pairs (BPPs) generated within ITIC domains play a dominant role in efficient hole transfer, transitioning to delocalized polarons within 100 fs. The weak electron-hole binding within the BPPs and the resulting polaron delocalization are key factors for efficient charge separation at nearly zero driving force. Our work provides useful insight into how to further improve the power conversion efficiency in OPVs.

Abstract
Local natural persimmons were used as a new precursor to synthesize carbon quantum dots (CQDs) by a brief and environment friendly strategy, hydrothermal method. The as-prepared CQDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, as well as fluorescence spectrophotometer. The average diameter of CQDs was 2.5±0.5 nm with spherical shape and exhibited blue fluorescence with the maximum emission wavelength at 438 nm and excitation wavelength at 345 nm. The influences of pH and ionic strength on CQDs fluorescence were evaluated. Moreover, the CQDs were used for determination of Fe3+ by blue fluorescence quenching as the result of the interaction between Fe3+ and -OH, -COOH on the CQDs surfaces. The proposed CQDs displayed high selectivity and sensitivity of Fe3+ in comparison with other metal ions. Therefore, a good linear relationship was established with the Fe3+ concentration in the range of 0.6-400 μM. The correlation coefficient of the calibration curve was 0.996. The detection limit of the method was 0.56 μM. Eventually, the CQDs made from persimmons were used for determination of Fe3+ in actual water sample with satisfactory results and gave recoveries between 95.66% and 99.90%. The relative standard deviation was 1.20%-1.86%. The results demonstrated the potential towards diverse applications of the local persimmons.

Abstract
Our objective was to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of proton pump inhibitors combined with clopidogrel in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and to provide an evidence basis for clinical treatment decision-making. The database EMBASE, PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library and CNKI records from establishment of each database until August 2020 were included. Articles were evaluated for quality. Meta-analysis of selected articles was conducted by RevMan5.3 software. Three RCTs and 4 cohort studies were included, with a total of 9932 patients. Four studies reported gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding events, 3 of which were RCT studies. Overall, there was a significantly lower risk of GI bleeding events in the PPI group compared to the no PPI group [OR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.89 to 4.95] (P < 0.00001). In 3 RCT studies, there was also a significantly lower risk of GI bleeding events in the PPI group compared to the no PPI group [OR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.80 to 5.21] (P < 0.0001). Seven studies including 3 RCTs and 4 cohort studies reported MACE. Overall, there was no significant difference in MACE events between PPI group and no PPI group [OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.91 to 1.21] (P = 0.50). Both in RCT and cohort studies subgroups, there also was no significant difference in MACE events between the PPI group and the no PPI group [OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 0.87 to 1.53] (P = 0.32), [OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.87 to 1.19] (P = 0.84), respectively. For PCI patients taking clopidogrel and PPI therapy, PPI reduced the risk of GI bleeding while having no impact on MACE.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to explore the diagnostic value of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) compared with conventional colonoscopy in individuals at high risk for colorectal cancer. METHOD PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and the Web of Science were searched by two independent reviewers for potentially eligible studies published up to 31 October 2018 that were based on a per-patient analysis. stata, meta-disc and revman were used to perform this meta-analysis. A random-effect model was used, and a subgroup analysis was conducted to explore the sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 14 full-text articles, involving 3578 patients, were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve of CTC for detecting polyps ≥ 6 mm were 0.87 (95% CI 0.83-0.90), 0.90 (95% CI 0.86-0.93), 9.08 (95% CI 6.28-13.13), 0.14 (95% CI 0.11-0.18) and 0.94 (95% CI 0.92-0.96), respectively. For polyps ≥ 10 mm, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio of CTC were 0.91 (95% CI 0.86-0.94), 0.98 (95% CI 0.95-0.99), 40.36 (95% CI 19.16-85.03), 0.90 (95% CI 0.06-0.14) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.96-0.99), respectively. CONCLUSION In this meta-analysis, CTC had high diagnostic accuracy for detecting polyps ≥ 6 mm and ≥ 10 mm in patients at high risk of developing colorectal cancer and it had a higher sensitivity and specificity for detecting polyps ≥ 10 mm than polyps ≥ 6 mm. However, the results should be used cautiously due to the significant heterogeneity.

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
10040 Background: Vorolanib (CM082) is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor including VEGF, PDGF, c-kit, and Flt-3. Toripalimab (JS001) is a humanized IgG4 mAb against programmed death-1 (PD-1) with clinical activity in metastasis melanoma but not in its mucosal subtype. In this phase II study (NCT03602547), we investigated the safety and efficacy of CM082 in combination with JS001 in patients (pts) with advanced mucosal melanoma. Methods: The study enrolled pts from 18 to 75 years-old with histologically confirmed metastatic mucosal melanoma, ECOG PS 0-1, no prior systemic anti-cancer treatment. Eligible pts were treated with CM082 tablet (150 or 200 mg once daily) combined with JS001 (240mg every 2 weeks, IV, Q2W) until confirmed disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Clinical response was evaluated every 8 week. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) using RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of remission (DOR), and time to first remission (TTR) according to RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST. The safety was also assessed. Results: Between July 2018 and April 12, 2019, 40 pts (19 pts in 150mg group; 21 pts in 200mg group) were enrolled and 38 pts were evaluable for tumor response (150mg n = 18, 200mg n = 20), with 4 (22.2%) confirmed partial response (PR), 6 (33.3%) stable disease (SD) and 8 (44.4%) progression disease (PD) in the 150mg CM082 group; 3 (15%) PRs (including 2 unconfirmed), 10 (50%) SD, and 7 (35%) PD were reported in the 200mg CM082 group. Tumors shrank in 10 pts (56%) in the 150mg group and 10 pts (50%) in the 200mg group. At data cut-off (November 28, 2019), 29 pts had PFS events (150mg n = 12; 200mg n = 17). The median PFS was 5.7 (95% CI 2.0, NE) months and 5.6 (1.9, 7.7) months in the two groups, respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were grade 1 or 2, including leukopenia, elevated LDH, increased ALT, neutropenia, increased AST, and elevated GGT. Common grade 3 or higher adverse events ( > 10%) were increased ALT (12 pts, 30%), increased AST (11 pts, 27.5%), neutropenia (6 pts, 15%) and elevated GGT (6 pts, 15%). Eight pts had 9 serious AEs (SAEs). The study is still ongoing and more data will be presented in the future. Conclusions: PFS benefit was observed in both 150mg and 200mg subgroups. This study demonstrated potentially improved efficacy with predictable toxicities of CM082 in combination with JS001 therapy, which may be an effective treatment option for pts with advanced mucosal melanoma. Clinical trial information: NCT03602547.

Abstract
The most challenging issue for breast cancer (BC) patients is metastasis to other organs because current therapies do not prevent or eliminate metastatic BC. Here, we show that SM-164, a small molecule inhibitor, which degrades inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), eliminated early-stage metastases and reduced progression of advanced BC metastasis from MDA-MB-231 BC cells in bones and lungs of nude mice. Mechanistically, SM-164-induced BC cell death is TNFα-dependent, with TNFα produced by IL-4-polarized macrophages triggering MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis in combination with SM-164. SM-164 also inhibited expression of RANKL, which mediates interactions between metastatic BC and host microenvironment cells and induces osteoclast-mediated osteolysis. SM-164 did not kill adriamycin-resistant BC cells, while adriamycin inhibited SM-164-resistant BC cell growth, similar to parental cells. We conclude that SM-164 is a promising therapeutic agent for early stage bone and lung metastasis from triple-negative breast cancer that should be given prior to conventional chemotherapy.

Abstract
Yersiniosis is one of the "other infectious diarrhea" of the notifiable infectious diseases and also an important food-borne disease. However, it lacked the basis or standard for diagnosis. The Chinese Preventive Medicine Association coordinated experienced researchers from National Institute for Communicable Disease Control and Prevention, China CDC and other institutes to produce the group standard entitled "Diagnosis of Yersiniosis" (T/CPMA 005-2019). Based on the principle of "legality, scientificity, advancement, and feasibility" , the standard gives a clear definition for Yerisiniosis, stipulates diagnosis basis, principles and main differential diagnosis and provides two informative appendixes for epidemiological and clinical characteristics and a normative appendix for laboratory detection. The standard provides accurate basis and methods of Yersiniosis diagnosis for hospitals and CDCs at all levels in China. It will solve the problems that Yersiniosis cannot be clearly diagnosed for clinical cases and in the outbreaks.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the etiologic and epidemiologic features of an infectious diarrhea outbreak in a boarding school in Fuyang city, Anhui province. Methods: Traceability hypothesis of this study was tested according to the epidemiological characteristics of the cases. Feces, anal swabs, water samples and food residues related to the patients and chefs were collected for pathogen isolation and detection. Biochemical identification, virulence gene detection, drug susceptibility test, PFGE and multilocus sequence typing were performed. Results: The incidence rate (3.41%) of different dormitory buildings within the water supply area by shallow wells was higher than that (0.98%) of the deep wells, with statistical significance (χ(2)=17.215, P<0.001). Sixteen strains belonged to the Shigella Sonneri family were isolated from the patient's samples, and all carrying the ipaH gene. Seven strains belonged to sen and ial genes. Set1 gene that did not appear in all the 16 strains were highly resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, compound xinnomine, cefazoline, cefotaxime, gentamicin, naphthidinic acid and streptomycin, including 9 strains to doxycycline. The pulse field pattern of the 16 strains of Shigella sonneri appeared the same, with the ST type as ST152. Conclusion: When combined data from the etiological and epidemiological investigation, it was confirmed that Shigella sonneri was the pathogen of this outbreak, and water from the shallow wells might be responsible for the source of infection.

Abstract
Osteoinductive calcium phosphate (CaP) bone grafts have equivalent performance to autografts in repairing critical-size bone defects. The osteoinductive potential of CaP is linked to the size of the surface topographical features. In the present study, two novel biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bone grafts were synthesised with either sub-micron- (BCP<µm) or micron-scale (BCPµm) needle-shaped surface topography and compared to dimensionally similar tricalcium phosphate (TCP) with grain-shaped surface structures (TCP<µm and TCPµm). To clarify the possible function of the surface morphology (needle-like vs. grain-like) in initiating bone formation, the four CaP test materials were physicochemically characterised and implanted for 12 weeks in the dorsal muscle of beagles. The sub-micron needle-shaped topography of BCP<µm triggered earlier bone formation (3-6 weeks) as compared to the grain-shaped surface topography of TCP<µm, which formed bone at 6-9 weeks. After 12 weeks, the amount of induced bone formation in both materials was equivalent, based on histomorphometry. The micron-sized needle-shaped surface topography of BCPµm led to limited formation of new bone tissue, whereas its counterpart, TCPµm with grain-shaped surface topography, failed to trigger de novo bone formation. The relative strength of the parameters affecting CaP-driven bone induction was as follows: surface feature size > surface feature morphology > substrate chemistry. BCP materials with needle-shaped sub-micron surface topography gave rise to accelerated bone formation and slower rate of resorption than a comparable TCP. These characteristics may be translated to improve bone healing in orthotopic defects.

Abstract
Multidimensional spectroscopy is the optical analog to nuclear magnetic resonance, probing dynamical processes with ultrafast time resolution. At optical frequencies, the technical challenges of multidimensional spectroscopy have hindered its progress until recently, where advances in laser sources and pulse-shaping have removed many obstacles to its implementation. Multidimensional spectroscopy in the visible and infrared (IR) regimes has already enabled respective advances in our understanding of photosynthesis and the structural rearrangements of liquid water. A frontier of ultrafast spectroscopy is to extend and combine multidimensional techniques and frequency ranges, which have been largely restricted to operating in the distinct visible or IR regimes. By employing two independent amplifiers seeded by a single oscillator, it is straightforward to span a wide range of time scales (femtoseconds to seconds), all of which are often relevant to the most important energy conversion and catalysis problems in chemistry, physics, and materials science. Complex condensed phase systems have optical transitions spanning the ultraviolet (UV) to the IR and exhibit dynamics relevant to function on time scales of femtoseconds to seconds and beyond. We describe the development of the Multispectral Multidimensional Nonlinear Spectrometer (MMDS) to enable studies of dynamical processes in atomic, molecular, and material systems spanning femtoseconds to seconds, from the UV to the IR regimes. The MMDS employs pulse-shaping methods to provide an easy-to-use instrument with an unprecedented spectral range that enables unique combination spectroscopies. We demonstrate the multispectral capabilities of the MMDS on several model systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) alone or in combination with genistein (GEN) on the reproductive system of offspring rats, focus on the induction of reproductive outcomes. METHOD 180 Wistar rats were divided in 6 groups (30 animals per group): DEHP 250 mg/kg/day group, DEHP 1000 mg/kg/day group, DEHP 2500 mg/kg/day group treated with DEHP 2500 mg/kg/day, DEHP (2500 mg/kg) + GEN (50 mg/kg) group, DEHP (2500 mg/kg) + GEN (500 mg/kg) group and control group treated with the same quantity of corn oil. The differences in sperm quality and reproductive organs were observed. RESULTS After DEHP administration we observed an increase in rat's abestrus, metaestrus and all estrus cycle (P < 0.05), a decrease in rat testicle's organ coefficient and relative energy of testis Sertoli cells and an increase in the early, late and total apoptotic rate of testicular Sertoli cells in a dose dependent manner (P < 0.05). When combine DEHP with GEN the sperm density, sperm quality, the cell activity rate and testis tissue's changes will decrease compared with the group that receive only DEHP in a dose dependent manner. CONCLUSION DEHP exposure induces cryptorchidism in offspring rats and this is aggravated by adding GEN.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the effects of QO-58 on pain behavior associated with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced OA. Methods: The OA model was established with an intra-articular injection of 3 mg/50 MIA through the right patellar ligament. Then the model rats were treated with 50 mg/kg QO-58 by intraperitoneal injection, and pain-related behaviors were assessed by single administration and multiple administrations of QO-58. Results: Single adminstration of QO-58 increased the mechanical threshold and prolonged the withdrawal latency of OA pain with the antinociceptive effect occurring at 6 h and 10 h. Compound QO-58 was administered intraperitoneally once a day from day 10 to 14. QO-58 significantly increased the mechanical threshold and prolonged the withdrawal latency of OA rats at 12 and 14 days. Conclusion: QO-58 showed antinociceptive effects for OA pain in the MIA model after pain development. QO-58 may be an alternative therapeutic treatment for OA.

Abstract
Cytokines, including receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and TNF, induce increased osteoclast (OC) formation and bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis and inflammatory arthritides. RANKL and TNF can independently induce OC formation in vitro from WT OC precursors via TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF) adaptor proteins, which bind to their receptors. Of these, only TRAF6 is required for RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro However, the molecular mechanisms involved remain incompletely understood. Here we report that RANKL induced the formation of bone-resorbing OCs from TRAF6-/- OC precursors when cultured on bone slices but not on plastic. The mechanisms involved increased TNF production by TRAF6-/- OC precursors resulting from their interaction with bone matrix and release of active TGFβ from the resorbed bone, coupled with RANKL-induced autophagolysosomal degradation of TRAF3, a known inhibitor of OC formation. Consistent with these findings, RANKL enhanced TNF-induced OC formation from TRAF6-/- OC precursors. Moreover, TNF induced significantly more OCs from mice with TRAF3 conditionally deleted in myeloid lineage cells, and it did not inhibit RANKL-induced OC formation from these cells. TRAF6-/- OC precursors that overexpressed TRAF3 or were treated with the autophagolysosome inhibitor chloroquine formed significantly fewer OCs in response to TNF alone or in combination with RANKL. We conclude that RANKL can enhance TNF-induced OC formation independently of TRAF6 by degrading TRAF3. These findings suggest that preventing TRAF3 degradation with drugs like chloroquine could reduce excessive OC formation in diseases in which bone resorption is increased in response to elevated production of these cytokines.
