Abstract
BACKGROUND Co-use of stimulants and opioids is rapidly increasing. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have established the efficacy of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), but stimulant use may decrease the likelihood of initiating MOUD treatment. Furthermore, trial participants may not represent "real-world" populations who would benefit from treatment. METHODS We conducted a two-stage analysis. First, associations between stimulant use (time-varying urine drug screens for cocaine, methamphetamine, or amphetamines) and initiation of buprenorphine or extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) were estimated across two RCTs (CTN-0051 X:BOT and CTN-0067 CHOICES) using adjusted Cox regression models. Second, results were generalized to three target populations who would benefit from MOUD: Housed adults identifying the need for OUD treatment, as characterized by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH); adults entering OUD treatment, as characterized by Treatment Episodes Dataset (TEDS); and adults living in rural regions of the U.S. with high rates of injection drug use, as characterized by the Rural Opioids Initiative (ROI). Generalizability analyses adjusted for differences in demographic characteristics, substance use, housing status, and depression between RCT and target populations using inverse probability of selection weighting. RESULTS Analyses included 673 clinical trial participants, 139 NSDUH respondents (weighted to represent 661,650 people), 71,751 TEDS treatment episodes, and 1,933 ROI participants. The majority were aged 30-49 years, male, and non-Hispanic White. In RCTs, stimulant use reduced the likelihood of MOUD initiation by 32% (adjusted HR [aHR] = 0.68, 95% CI 0.49-0.94, p = 0.019). Stimulant use associations were slightly attenuated and non-significant among housed adults needing treatment (25% reduction, aHR = 0.75, 0.48-1.18, p = 0.215) and adults entering OUD treatment (28% reduction, aHR = 0.72, 0.51-1.01, p = 0.061). The association was more pronounced, but still non-significant among rural people injecting drugs (39% reduction, aHR = 0.61, 0.35-1.06, p = 0.081). Stimulant use had a larger negative impact on XR-NTX initiation compared to buprenorphine, especially in the rural population (76% reduction, aHR = 0.24, 0.08-0.69, p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Stimulant use is a barrier to buprenorphine or XR-NTX initiation in clinical trials and real-world populations that would benefit from OUD treatment. Interventions to address stimulant use among patients with OUD are urgently needed, especially among rural people injecting drugs, who already suffer from limited access to MOUD.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects and the mechanism of FoxO6 on the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer cells. Methods: FoxO6 siRNA was transfected into colorectal cancer cell HCT116 and SW480. The overexpression vector pcDNA.3.1-c-Myc was constructed and co-transfected into HCT116 and SW480 cells with FoxO6 siRNA. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of FoxO6, c-Myc, and p21 in HCT116 and SW480 cells. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was used to detect cell proliferation and Transwell assay was performed to detect the invasion ability of these cells. SW480 cells transfected with FoxO6 shRNA lentivirus (LV-FoxO6) and were injected into the right armpit of BAL b/c nude mice to construct a tumor-bearing mode and the tumor volumes were measured on the days of 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, and 25 after injection. Results: The FoxO6 mRNA were 0.91±0.04, 1.72±0.07, and 2.03±0.06, and protein expression were 0.70±0.04, 1.35±0.08, and 1.56±0.07 in normal colon cell FHC, colorectal cancer cells HT116 and SW480, respectively. The protein and mRNA levels of FoxO6 in HCT116 and SW480 were significantly higher than those in FHC (both P<0.05). Knockdown of FoxO6 in HCT116 and SW480 cells decreased the mRNA and protein expressions of FoxO6 (both P<0.05), the cell proliferation ability (absorbances were 0.26±0.07 and 0.27±0.06, both P<0.05), cell invasion ability (the invaded cell numbers were 42.3±3.3 and 45.7±4.1, both P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expressions of c-Myc, while increased the mRNA and protein expressions of p21 (both P<0.01). Overexpression of Myc in FoxO6 silenced HCT116 and SW480 cells decreased the expression of p21, while increased the cell proliferation ability (absorbances were 0.54±0.09 and 0.58±0.07, both P<0.01) and invasion ability (the invaded cell numbers were 79.2±5.9 and 80.5±6.4, both P<0.01). On the 25th day after cell inoculation in nude mice, the tumor volume of LV-FoxO6 group was (190.6±36.2) mm(3), significantly lower than (437.8.6±69.2) mm(3) of LV-NC group (P<0.05). Conclusion: FoxO6 promotes the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer cells through facilitating c-Myc mediated p21 expression inhibition.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics, treatment strategy and prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck (ACCHN). Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical and follow-up treatment of 79 patients with ACCHN from June 2008 to July 2017 was conducted in the Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Results: A total of 79 ACCHN cases, including 31 males and 48 females. The age ranged from 19 to 77 (median, 52). The clinical manifestations of ACC were related to the locations of primary tumor.The mean size of the tumor was 2.6 cm (range from 1.5 to 7.7 cm). 50 of 79 patients with a definitive pathological diagnosis received surgical resection. 59 cases received chemotherapy and 62 cases received radiotherapy. With a median follow-up of 55 months, the 5-year, 10-year survival rate of these patients were 69.6% and 54.4%, respectively. Conclusions: ACCHN is an uncommon neoplasm with the characteristics of epithelial nerve growth, being inclined to distant metastasis, and high early misdiagnosis rate. The clinical manifestation, imaging and pathological result are need to be combined together to diagnose ACCHN.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the expressions of periostin (Postn) in colon cancer tissues and cells, and to investigate its biological effect and mechanism in colon cancer cells. Methods: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot were used to detect the expressions of Postn, let-7a and miR-98 in 20 pairs of colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues, colon cancer cell lines including SW480, HT-29, HCT-116 and human normal colon epithelial cell NCM460. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) of Postn, pcDNA3.1-Postn plasmids, let-7a mimic and its negative control let-7a mimic-NC, miR-98 mimic and its negative control miR-98 mimic-NC were transfected into HCT-116 cells. 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H tetrazolium bromide (MTT) was used to detect cell viability. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis. Luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the targeting relationship between miRNAs and Postn. Results: Compared with adjacent normal tissues, Postn expression was up-regulated (P<0.05) while let-7a/miR-98 expression was down-regulated (P<0.05) in colon cancer tissues. Compared with NCM460 cells, Postn expression was up-regulated (P<0.05) while let-7a/miR-98 expression was down-regulated (P<0.05) in SW480, HT-29 and HCT-116 cells. In colon cancer tissues, the expression of Postn was negatively correlated with the expressions of let-7a and miR-98 (r=-0.69, P<0.001; r=-0.80, P<0.001). Inhibition of Postn in vitro reduced the viability of HCT-116 cells [(53.73±7.63)%, P<0.05], increased the apoptotic rate [(22.88±3.40)%, P<0.05], enhanced the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker E-cadherin (2.44±0.39, P<0.05), while down-regulated the expressions of N-cadherin and Vimentin (0.44±0.07 and 0.38±0.06, P<0.05). Overexpression of Postn in vitro enhanced the cell viability of HCT-116 cells [(134.41±8.82) %, P<0.05], decreased the expression of E-cadherin (0.55±0.09, P<0.05), increased the expressions of N-cadherin and Vimentin (2.93±0.42 and 2.24±0.34, P<0.05), but had no effect on the apoptotic rate (P>0.05). Overexpression of let-7a or miR-98 partially reversed the biological effects of Postn overexpression in colon cancer cells, which implicated that Postn was a target gene of let-7a/miR-98. Conclusions: Postn is a cancer-promoting molecule of colon cancer, and inhibition of Postn expression can increase the apoptotic rate of colon cancer cells and repress EMT. Postn expression and function is regulated by let-7a/miR-98.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of microRNA-96-5p in the proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods: From June 2015 to January 2017, 53 resected specimens were collected. The transcriptional levels of microRNA-96-5p and forkhead box Q1 (FoxQ1) in gastric cancer tissues and the matched para-cancerous tissues were quantified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression of FoxQ1 protein was also detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The relationship between microRNA-96-5p expression and the clinicopathological features of gastric cancer and its correlation with FoxQ1 expression were analyzed. The expressions of miRNA-96-5p in gastric cancer tissue and adjacent normal tissue were detected by qRT-PCR. miRNA-96-5p mimics was transfected to BGC-823 gastric cancer cells. The effects of miRNA-96-5p on cell proliferation and invasion were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and Transwell assay, respectively. The protein expressions of FoxQ1, E-cadherin and vimentin were determined by western blot. The relationship between FoxQ1 and miRNA-96-5p expressed in BGC-823 cells was detected by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results: The median expression of miRNA-96-5p in gastric cancer tissue was 1.05, significantly lower than 3.23 of para-cancerous tissues (P<0.05). The positive rate of FoxQ1 expression in gastric cancer tissue was 71.7%, significantly higher than 28.3% of para-cancerous tissues (P<0.05). The expression of FoxQ1 was negatively corelated with the level of miRNA-96-5p (r=-0.613, P=0.006). The expression of miRNA-96-5p in gastric cancer cell BGC-823 was significantly decreased compared with normal gastric epithelial cell (0.96±0.08 vs 2.84±0.15, P<0.05). The results of CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay showed that overexpression of miRNA-96-5p significantly reduced the proliferation and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cells (P<0.05). Overexpression of miRNA-96-5p decreased the protein level of FoxQ1. Moreover, it upregulated the expression of E-cadherin and downregulated the expression of vimentin. The result of dual-luciferase-3'-UTR reporter assay confirmed that miRNA-96-5p binds to the 3'UTR of FoxQ1. Conclusion: miRNA-96-5p may suppress the proliferation, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer cell by down-regulation of FoxQ1.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics, surgical procedures and prognosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas(SPTP). Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of 55 cases with SPTP in Henan Tumor Hospital from June 2005 to April 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: There were 55 SPTP cases, including 7 males and 48 females. The age ranged from 16 to 76 (median, 33). Clinical presentations of SPTP were not specific. The mean size of the tumor was 7.6 cm (range from 2 to 25cm). Pancreatic head and tail were the most common locations of SPTP. All the patients received surgical resection with a definitive pathological diagnosis. Some immunohistochemical markers were mostly positive, including β-catenin, Vim, Syn, CD10, CD56, PR, etc. With a median follow-up of 53 months, the 1-year, 2-year and 5-year survival rate were 98.1%, 96.1% and 94.0%, respectively. Conclusions: SPTP is an uncommon exocrine pancreatic neoplasm with low malignant potential, which frequently occurs in young women. Preoperative imaging can provide evidence for the selection of treatment modalities among which surgical resection ispreferred. Diagnosis still relies on pathology and immunohistochemistry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe bevacizumab plus chemotherapy curative effect and safety for recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 30 recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer cases. The experimental group received beva- cizumab plus paclitaxel-, docetaxel-, and platinum-based chemotherapy. The control group received only chemotherapy. Curative effects were recorded after at least two treatment cycles; adverse reactions were recorded with every cycle. RESULTS Experimental group patients were treated for an average 2.6 cycles. Compared to the control group, the experimental group effective rate (26.7%) was similar, disease control rate (73.7%) was significantly higher, and median survival time was three months longer. Bevacizumab-associated adverse reactions were bleeding, hypertension, and thrombosis/embolism; most were level 1 and 2 reactions. Adverse reactions in the two groups were not statistically different. CONCLUSIONS The bevacizumab plus chemotherapy disease control rate for recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer is comparatively high, prolonging median survival; bevacizumab-associated adverse reactions are mild and tolerable.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the number of metastatic lymph nodes (pN) and the metastatic lymph node ratio (LNR) on the post-surgical prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer (EC). Methods: A retrospective analysis of 573 inpatients diagnosed as esophageal carcinomas from March 2008 to June 2012 was carried out.All pathologic specimen were reviewed by pathologists from Henan Tumor Hospital.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates, and survival curves were compared with the Log-rank test.The Cox model was employed for multivariate analyses of factors.The association of pN and LNR with prognosis of esophageal cancer was examined by the area under the ROC curve(AUC). Results: The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates were 72.5%, 46.1% and 32.3%, respectively.Univariate analysis showed that tumor location(P=0.020), tumor length(P=0.009), pT stage(P=0.011), pN stage(P<0.01), and the LNR(P<0.01) were prognostic factors for OS.Multivariate analysis indicated that pT stage(P=0.047), pN stage(P=0.018) and LNR(P=0.011) were significant and independent risk factors for poor OS.ROC analysis indicated that LNR (AUC=0.680) had better predictive value than pN (AUC=0.579). Conclusion: The integrated use of LNR and pN may be suitable for evaluation of prognosis in patients with EC and positive nodal metastasis after curative resection.
