Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of patients with pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) in order to improve clinicians' understanding of this disease. Methods: The clinical data of patients diagnosed with PSC in our hospital from January 1, 2015 to November 30, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether radical resection was performed, the patients were divided into resectable group and unresectable group. The characteristics and treatments of PSC in different groups were compared. The survival curves were drawn by Kaplan-Meier method to compare the prognosis of different groups of patients. Results: A total of 43 PSC patients were included, including 32 males, with an average age of (62.79±9.59) years, and 31 smokers. Peripheral-type tumors were more common, with imaging showing predominantly solid soft tissue masses, and the maximum diameter of the tumor was more than 5 cm in 14 patients. Among the 23 patients who underwent NGS gene testing, the KRAS mutation rate was 43.5%, the TP53 mutation rate was 30.4%, and the MET mutation rate was 8.7%, all of which were MET-14 exon skipping mutations. PD-L1 expression was detected in 13 patients, 10 of whom showed high expression. The median overall survival (mOS) of the 43 patients with PSC was 24.6 months (13.0-52.7 months). Among them, 22 patients underwent radical lobectomy plus mediastinal lymph node dissection, 13 patients had postoperative recurrence, and 7 patients died during follow-up. The median disease-free survival (mDFS) was 12.3 months, the mOS was not achieved and the 1-year OS rate was 77.3 %. Twenty-one patients had unresectable locally advanced or advanced stage, and 15 patients died. The mDFS was 2.5 months, the mOS was 6.2 months, and the 1-year OS rate was 42.9 %. Seventeen patients received immunotherapy, and 1 patient received targeted therapy with the MET inhibitor glumetinib. Conclusions: PSC has a higher incidence in the elderly, smokers, and males, is highly malignant and has a poor prognosis. Based on its molecular biological characteristics, PD-L1 expression and tumor molecular detection can be performed to guide treatment options.

Abstract
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exhibit considerable heterogeneity in advanced cancers; however, the functional annotation and mechanism of CAFs in early-stage cancers remain elusive. Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic, we identify a previously unknown PDGFRα+ITGA11+ CAF subset in early-stage bladder cancer (BCa). Multicenter clinical analysis of a 910-case cohort confirms that PDGFRα+ITGA11+ CAFs are associated with lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and poor prognosis in early-stage BCa. These CAFs facilitate LVI and lymph node (LN) metastasis in early-stage BCa, as evidenced in a PDGFRα+ITGA11+ CAFs-specific deficient mouse model. Mechanistically, PDGFRα+ITGA11+ CAFs promote lymphangiogenesis via recognizing ITGA11 surface receptor SELE on lymphatic endothelial cells to activate SRC-p-VEGFR3-MAPK pathway. Further, CHI3L1 from PDGFRα+ITGA11+ CAFs aligns the surrounding matrix to assist cancer cell intravasation, fostering early-stage BCa LVI and LN metastasis. Collectively, our study reveals the crucial role of PDGFRα+ITGA11+ CAFs in shaping metastatic landscape, informing the treatment of early-stage BCa LVI.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis comparing the short-term and long-term outcomes in laparoscopic groin hernia repair with or without preservation of the uterine round ligament (URL) in females. METHODS We searched several databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and and CNKI databases. This meta-analysis included randomized clinical trials, and retrospective comparative studies regarding preservation or division of the URL in laparoscopic groin hernia repair in females. Outcomes of interest were age, BMI, type of hernia, type of surgery, operating time, estimated blood loss, time of hospitalization, seroma, concomitant injury, mesh infection, recurrence, uterine prolapse, foreign body sensation, chronic pain, and pregnancy. Meta-analyses and trial sequential analysis were performed with Review Manager v5.3 and TSA software, respectively. RESULTS Of 192 potentially eligible articles, 9 studies with 1104 participants met the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. There were no significant difference in age (MD-6.58, 95% CI - 13.41 to 0.24; P = 0.06), BMI (MD 0.05, 95%CI - 0.31 to 0.40; P = 0.81), blood loss (MD-0.04, 95% CI - 0.75 to 0.66; P = 0.90), time of hospitalization (MD-0.22, 95% CI-1.13 to 0.69; P = 0.64), seroma (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.24; P = 0.23), concomitant injury (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.01 to 8.24; P = 0.68), mesh infection (OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.01 to 2.61; P = 0.18), recurrence (OR 1.13, 95% CI 0.18 to 7.25; P = 0.90), uterine prolapse(OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.07 to 6.94; P = 0.77), foreign body sensation (OR 1.95, 95% CI 0.53 to 7.23; P = 0.32) and chronic pain(OR 1.03 95% CI 0.4 to 2.69; P = 0.95). However, this meta-analysis demonstrated a statistically significant difference in operating time (MD 6.62, 95% CI 2.20 to 11.04; P = 0.0003) between the preservation group and division group. Trial sequential analysis showed that the cumulative Z value of the operating time crossed the traditional boundary value and the TSA boundary value in the third study, and the cumulative sample size had reached the required information size (RIS), indicating that the current conclusion was stable. CONCLUSION In summary, laparoscopic groin hernia repair in women with the preservation of the round uterine ligament requires a longer operating time, but there was no advantage in short-term or long-term complications, and there was no clear evidence on whether it causes infertility and uterine prolapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many urothelial bladder carcinoma (UBC) patients don't respond to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, possibly due to tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) suppressing lymphocyte immune response. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis on the predictive value of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in ICB response and investigated TANs' role in UBC. We used RNA-sequencing, HALO spatial analysis, single-cell RNA-sequencing, and flow cytometry to study the impacts of TANs and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on IDO1 expression. Animal experiments evaluated celecoxib's efficacy in targeting PGE2 synthesis. RESULTS Our analysis showed that higher TAN infiltration predicted worse outcomes in UBC patients receiving ICB therapy. Our research revealed that TANs promote IDO1 expression in cancer cells, resulting in immunosuppression. We also found that PGE2 synthesized by COX-2 in neutrophils played a key role in upregulating IDO1 in cancer cells. Animal experiments showed that targeting PGE2 synthesis in neutrophils with celecoxib enhanced the efficacy of ICB treatment. CONCLUSIONS TAN-secreted PGE2 upregulates IDO1, dampening T cell function in UBC. Celecoxib targeting of PGE2 synthesis represents a promising approach to enhance ICB efficacy in UBC.

Abstract
FGFR3 alterations are common in patients with bladder cancer. While the FGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor erdafitinib has been approved as a targeted therapy for patients with FGFR3-altered (aFGFR3) bladder cancer, the response rate remains suboptimal, prompting development of strategies to improve treatment response. Here, we observed an immune-desert tumor microenvironment (TME) phenotype in human aFGFR3 bladder cancer and demonstrated that mutant FGFR3 indirectly induces a "cold" TME in mouse bladder cancer models. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed the central role of macrophages in inducing the cold TME of aFGFR3 tumors. Macrophages in aFGFR3 tumors exhibited reduced T-cell recruitment and antigen presentation capabilities. Increased serine synthesis in bladder cancer cells that was induced by mutant FGFR3 activated the PI3K/Akt pathway in macrophages, shifting them to an immune-inert phenotype. Targeting PI3K in aFGFR3 tumors with duvelisib achieved promising efficacy by reversing the macrophage phenotype, and combination therapy with duvelisib and erdafitinib demonstrated increased antitumor activity. Overall, these findings reveal the critical role of enhanced serine synthesis efflux from cancer cells with mutant FGFR3 in shifting macrophages to an immune-inert phenotype. Reversing the macrophage phenotype holds promise for enhancing erdafitinib efficacy. SIGNIFICANCE Metabolic reprogramming of bladder cancer cells driven by mutant FGFR3 increases serine synthesis that suppresses macrophage immunostimulatory functions to generate an immunosuppressive TME, which can be overcome by targeting PI3K.

Abstract
Resistance to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment is often associated with accumulation of intratumoral inhibitory macrophages. V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA) is a nonredundant immune checkpoint that can induce both T-cell and myeloid-cell immunosuppression. In this study, we found that high levels of VISTA+ immune cells were associated with advanced stage bladder cancer and predicted poor survival in patients. A combination of high infiltration of VISTA+ immune cells and PD-L1+ immune cells or PD-1+ T cells predicted the worst survival. Flow cytometry and multiplex immunofluorescence analyses confirmed that VISTA expression was higher in macrophages than in T cells or neutrophils, and only VISTA+CD163+ macrophage density predicted poor prognosis in patients with bladder cancer. Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists are known to trigger the innate immune response in macrophages. We found that the VISTA-specific mAb 13F3 augmented the ability of a TLR3-specific adjuvant to induce macrophage activation in vitro. In the MB49 syngeneic mouse model of bladder cancer, treatment with 13F3 curbed tumor growth and prolonged survival when combined with a TLR3-specific adjuvant. The combination treatment reduced the intratumoral frequency of CD206+ anti-inflammatory macrophages and levels of the immunosuppressive molecule TGFβ1, but it upregulated expression of immunostimulatory molecules (Ifna, Ifnb, and Trail) and increased the CD8+ T cell/regulatory T-cell ratio. These findings indicate that elevated VISTA expression in immune cells, particularly macrophages, is associated with an unfavorable prognosis in patients with bladder cancer and suggest that targeting VISTA in combination with a TLR3-specific adjuvant has translational potential.

Abstract
A 35-year-old male patient arrived at the clinic, reporting a persistent issue of his right eye being difficult to open for the past three weeks. Alongside this, he had been experiencing a gradual development of lesions around the eye. Notably, about a month prior to the onset of these symptoms, the patient had engaged in unprotected intercourse with a male partner. The initial manifestation was a papule near the eye, which then rapidly progressed. Laboratory analysis of samples taken from the lesions confirmed the presence of monkeypox through polymerase chain reaction testing. Furthermore, this patient received positive diagnoses for both HIV and syphilis infections. Notably, his absolute CD4 count was measured at an extremely low level of 2 cells/μl.(This article was published ahead of print on the official website of Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology on September 18, 2023).

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the clinical efficacy of vacuum sealing drainage, eggshell-like debridement combined with antibiotic calcium sulphate implantation and conventional debridement combined with antibiotic calcium sulphate implantation in the treatment of calcaneal osteomyelitis. METHODS Sixty-six patients with calcaneal osteomyelitis who were treated in our department between January 2017 and August 2021 were included in this study. Thirty-one patients underwent VSD and eggshell-like debridement combined with antibiotic calcium sulphate implantation. Thirty-five patients underwent conventional debridement combined with antibiotic calcium sulphate implantation. The inflammatory markers, operation time, wound healing time, hospital stay, full weight bearing time after operation, recurrence rate of infection, complications, and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The operation time and full weight bearing time after operation of observation group were longer than that of control group. Compared with preoperative results, WBC, ESR, CRP and PCT in both groups were significantly decreased at 14 days after operation, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups. The wound healing time and hospital stay in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There were four patients with aseptic exudation in the observation group and ten patients with aseptic exudation in the control group, and the wounds healed well after multiple dressing changes. Seven patients in the observation group underwent secondary bone grafting due to bone defects, and four patients in the control group received secondary bone grafting due to bone defects. In the observation group, three patients received debridement combined with antibiotic calcium sulphate implantation again due to recurrent infection, compared with seven patients in the control group. One year after operation, the observation group had a better AOFAS scores than the control group, especially in terms of foot function (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with conventional debridement and antibiotic calcium sulphate implantation, VSD and eggshell-like debridement combined with antibiotic calcium sulphate implantation in the treatment of calcaneal osteomyelitis can shorten the wound healing and hospital stay of patients, reduce postoperative aseptic exudation complications and infection recurrence rate, and better preserve the foot function, which is a simple and effective method.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of standardized dust mite allergen subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in children with allergic rhinitis (AR) during treatment. Methods: A total of 283 children with AR diagnosed with definite dust mite allergy and completed 2 to 3 years of SCIT who attended the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, from August 2019 to October 2021 were included, including 205 males and 78 females, with a mean age of 10.8 years. The total nasal symptoms score (TNSS), symptom medication score (SMS), rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) and visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after 2 to 3 years' treatment were recorded, and the differences before and after treatment were compared. Adverse reactions during SCIT were recorded to evaluate its safety. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: The overall effectiveness rate during SCIT in 283 children with AR was 89.4% (253/283). Compared with baseline, all symptom scores, medication scores and quality of life scores were significantly lower after 2 to 3 years of SCIT (all P<0.05). Further group comparisons showed positive efficacy in patients with different clinical characteristics, including age, gender, smoking status, family history of AR, symptom severity, mono-or poly-allergy, and second immunization, with no statistically significant differences between groups (all P>0.05). A total of 12 735 injections were administered during the SCIT, and a total of 213 (1.67%) injections of local adverse reactions occurred, mainly in the initial treatment phase, and the diameter of the local air mass was mostly 5 to 20 mm; 71 (0.56%) injections of systemic adverse reactions occurred, mainly in the initial treatment phase, and most of them were grade 1 reactions with no serious systemic adverse reaction such as shock. Conclusion: Standardized dust mite SCIT has a good safety profile and definite efficacy in treating AR children with different clinical characteristics. It can significantly improve all symptoms, reduce the use of symptomatic drugs and improve their quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of pelvic organ preserving-radical cystectomy (POPRC) in female patients with bladder cancer has attracted more and more attention in recent years. In the current study, the authors aim to compare the long-term oncological outcomes of POPRC versus standard radical cystectomy (SRC) in a large multicenter retrospective cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data on female patients with bladder cancer who underwent POPRC or SRC in January 2006 and April 2018 were included from three Chinese urological centers. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes were cancer-specific survival and recurrence-free survival. To decrease the effect of unmeasured confounders associated with treatment selection, 1:1 propensity score matching was performed. RESULTS Among the 273 enrolled patients, 158 underwent POPRC (57.9%), and 115 underwent SRC (42.1%). The median follow-up time was 38.6 (15.9-62.5) months. After propensity score matching, each cohort included 99 matched patients. The OS ( P =0.940), cancer-specific survival ( P =0.957), and recurrence-free survival ( P =0.476) did not differ significantly from the two matched cohorts. Subgroup analysis confirmed that the OS was similar between the patients treated with POPRC and SRC across all subgroups examined (all P > 0.05). In multivariable analysis, the surgical method (SRC vs. POPRC) was not an independent risk factor for OS (Hazard ratio 0.874, 95% CI 0.592-1.290; P =0.498). CONCLUSIONS The results showed that no significant difference in long-term survival was determined between female patients undergoing SRC and those undergoing POPRC.

Abstract
Statins are a kind of prescription drug that is widely used to treat hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, and other atherosclerotic diseases. A common side effect of statin use is a mild rise in liver aminotransferases, which occurs in less than 3% of patients. Statin-related liver injury is most commonly caused by atorvastatin and simvastatin, but severe liver injury is uncommon. Therefore, understanding and evaluating hepatotoxicity and weighing the benefits and risks is of great significance to better realize the protective effect of statins.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in the LRP5, PLS3, or WNT1 genes can significantly affect bone mineral density, causing monogenic osteoporosis. Much remains to be discovered about the phenotype and medical care needs of these patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of medical care among Dutch individuals identified between 2014 and 2021 with a pathogenic or suspicious rare variant in LRP5, PLS3, or WNT1. In addition, the aim was to compare their medical care utilization to both the overall Dutch population and the Dutch Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) population. The Amsterdam UMC Genome Database was used to match 92 patients with the Statistics Netherlands (CBS) cohort. Patients were categorized based on their harbored variants: LRP5, PLS3, or WNT1. Hospital admissions, outpatient visits, medication data, and diagnosis treatment combinations (DTCs) were compared between the variant groups and, when possible, to the total population and OI population. Compared to the total population, patients with an LRP5, PLS3, or WNT1 variant had 1.63 times more hospital admissions, 2.0 times more opened DTCs, and a greater proportion using medication. Compared to OI patients, they had 0.62 times fewer admissions. Dutch patients with an LRP5, PLS3, or WNT1 variant appear to require on average more medical care than the total population. As expected, they made higher use of care at the surgical and orthopedic departments. Additionally, they used more care at the audiological centers and the otorhinolaryngology (ENT) department, suggesting a higher risk of hearing-related problems.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the perioperative and oncologic outcomes between minimally invasive pelvic organ-preserving radical cystectomy (MIPOPRC) and open pelvic organ-preserving radical cystectomy (open POPRC) among female patients with bladder cancer (BCa). METHODS We identified female patients who underwent POPRC for BCa at three centers between January 2006 and April 2018. Female patients who underwent open POPRC were matched with those who underwent MIPOPRC using 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching. The patient demographics and perioperative and oncologic outcomes were evaluated for the comparison between MIPOPRC and open POPRC. RESULTS Among the 158 patients enrolled, 83 patients underwent MIPOPRC, and 75 underwent open POPRC. A total of 60 MIPOPRC and 60 open POPRC patients were matched successfully. The cancer-specific survival (CSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) did not differ significantly in the propensity score-weighted cohort (p = 0.297 and p = 0.600, respectively). Subgroup analysis by age and pathologic stage in the matched cohort revealed that CSS and RFS were with no differences among all subgroups. Moreover, multivariable Cox regression analyses showed that the surgical approach (MIPOPRC vs open POPRC) was not a predictor of CSS (p = 0.250). CONCLUSION MIPOPRC was non-inferior to open POPRC in terms of oncologic outcomes among female patients. MIPOPRC could be technically feasible in selected female patients with BCa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this real-world study, we aimed to elucidate the predictive value of tumour-associated stroma for clinical prognostic and therapeutic response in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) by reviewing the clinicopathologic characteristics of 1015 UTUC patients through a nationwide multicenter analysis. METHODS The tumour-stroma ratio (TSR) was assessed based on tissue sections stained for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and patients were further stratified into stroma-high (>50% stroma) and stroma-low group (≤50% stroma). Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression hazard analysis were conducted to assess the survival outcomes of UTUC patients. Bioinformatics analysis and immunostaining analysis were applied to portray the tumour microenvironment (TME). RESULTS Stroma-high UTUC was significantly associated with poorer survival outcomes and inferior chemotherapeutic responsiveness. Our established nomogram achieved a high prognostic accuracy in predicting overall survival and cancer-specific survival in both of the discovery cohort (area under the curve [AUC] 0.663 and 0.712) and the validation cohort (AUC 0.741 and 0.747). Moreover, stroma-high UTUC was correlated with immunoevasive TME accompanied by increased cancer-associated fibroblasts, tumour-associated macrophages and, conspicuously a cluster of highly exhausted CD8+ T cells. CONCLUSION Our results showed stroma-high UTUC was associated with an inferior prognosis and an immunoevasive TME with exhausted CD8+ T cells in UTUC patients. Our TSR-based nomogram could be used to refine prognosis and inform treatment decisions of patients with UTUC.

Abstract
Background: Lymphangiogenesis represents a key event in the progression and metastasis of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Nevertheless, the prognostic value of lymphangiogenesis-related genes (LRGs) in ccRCC patients remains unknown. Method: Differential analyses were performed to identify differentially expressed LRGs between normal and tumor tissues. A univariate Cox analysis was performed to identify differently expressed LRGs associated with overall survival (OS). LASSO and multivariate Cox analyses were performed to construct and optimize the LRG signature. To further explore the molecular characterization of the LRG signature, a functional enrichment analysis, immune signature, somatic mutations, and drug sensitivity were assessed. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence staining were performed to validate the relationship between lymphangiogenesis and immunity using our ccRCC samples. Results: Four candidate genes (IL4, CSF2, PROX1, and TEK) were eventually available to construct the LRG signature in the training set. Patients in the high-risk group had a shorter survival than those in the low-risk group. The LRG signature was an independent prognostic factor of OS. These results were confirmed in the validation group. The LRG signature was correlated with immunosuppressive cell infiltration, T cell exhaustion markers, somatic mutations, and drug sensitivity. The IHC and immunofluorescence staining results confirmed the correlation between lymphangiogenesis and CD163+ macrophages, exhausted CD8+PD-1+, and CD8+ LAG3+ T cells. Conclusion: A novel prognostic signature based on LRGs could provide insight into the prognostic evaluation and treatment of ccRCC patients.

Abstract
The administration of probiotics may help to improve dysbiosis and related health problems in children delivered by caesarean section. However, the effects are strain specific, and safety combined tolerance are considered a priority. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerance of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei N1115 in caesarean-born children aged 6-24 months via a randomised, placebo-controlled intervention study. In total, 101 children were included and randomised to receive either a sachet of L. paracasei N1115 (2×1010 cfu/g, 2 g/day) or placebo (maltodextrin, 2 g/day) per day for 12 weeks. Anthropometric parameters were measured by trained nurses, and defecation characteristics, gastrointestinal symptoms, (serious) adverse events ((s)AEs), crying patterns and lifestyle behaviours were recorded by parents or guardians. Neurocognitive development was assessed by the Ages and Stages Questionnaires-3 (ASQ-3) before and after the intervention. The only difference between groups regarding defecation characteristics was a significant treatment × time effect on stool frequency (P=0.007), as the number of defecations was significantly higher in the probiotic group (around 1.2-1.3 times/day) than in the placebo group (around 1.0 times/day) in the later intervention period (P=0.035 at week 9; P=0.048 at week 10; P=0.026 at week 12). The use of L. paracasei N1115 also reduced the incidence rate of constipation (Incidence rate ratio (IRR): 0.120; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.015, 0.967; P=0.046) and abdominal pain (IRR: 0.562; 95% CI: 0.358, 0.882; P=0.012). Changes in anthropometric parameters, including weight, height and head circumference, did not differ significantly between groups, nor did measures of crying, sleep, outdoor activity, temper, appetite or the ASQ-3 scores. No adverse events associated with consumption of the probiotic were reported. Thus, the administration of L. paracasei N1115 is safe and well-tolerated in caesarean-born children aged 6-24 months. Furthermore, it may ameliorate gastrointestinal function to some extent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with stroke etiology of large-artery atherosclerosis were thought to have better collateral circulation compared with patients with other stroke etiologies. We aimed to investigate the association between stroke etiology and collateral circulation with a new quantitative collateral assessment method. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study reviewed data from consecutive patients with proximal anterior artery occlusion who underwent CTP before reperfusion therapy. CBF maps were derived from CTP. A new indicator, maximum CBF of collateral vessels within the Sylvian fissure (cCBFmax), was applied to quantitatively assess the collateral status. The relationship between collateral status and stroke etiology was investigated. RESULTS A total of 296 patients were finally analyzed. The median cCBFmax was significantly higher in patients with large-artery atherosclerosis than in those without it (92 [interquartile range, 65-123] mL/100 g/min versus 62 [interquartile range, 46-82] mL/100 g/min; P < .001). Multivariable analysis revealed that a higher cCBFmax score was independently associated with large-artery atherosclerosis etiology (OR, 1.010; 95% CI, 1.002-1.018; P = .017) after adjustment. The area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity of the final model in predicting the etiology of large-artery atherosclerosis were 0.870, 89.7%, and 75.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Patients with large-artery atherosclerosis had a more adequate collateral perfusion supply with the new quantitative collateral assessment. The new quantitative collateral measurement might contribute to the prediction of stroke etiology in the acute clinical scenario for patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) is a major type of bladder cancer with a distinct tumor microenvironment (TME). Although neutrophils are the main component of myeloid cells in the TME, the clinical significance and function of the neutrophils remain unclear in UCB. Here, we observed CD66b+ neutrophils were predominantly enriched in the stroma of UCB tissues and their levels emerged as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (P = 0.006, n = 237), and were positively associated with age (P = 0.033), tumor stage (P < 0.0001), nodal metastasis (P = 0.045), and histological grade (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, we found that CD66b+ neutrophils were frequently co-localized with CD4+ T cells (R=0.35, P = 0.0067), CD8+ T cells (R=0.52, P<0.0001) and Cleaved Caspase-3+ apoptosis cells (R=0.44, P = 0.0007) in the stroma of UCB tissue. In addition, better effects of T cells on patients’ survival were markedly reduced by neutrophils and T cells co-infiltration. Moreover, we confirmed bladder tumor cell supernatant treated neutrophils suppressed T cell proliferation and activation, and promoted T cell apoptosis through GM-CSF induced PD-L1 in vitro. The expression of PD-L1 by neutrophils was also detected in fresh UCB tissues by using flow cytometric analysis. These data suggested that stromal CD66b+ neutrophils may potentially represent a reliable marker of poor prognosis for UCB patients, and neutrophils might play an immunosuppressive role on T cell immunity partially via the expression of PD-L1.

Abstract
Objective To explore the clinical effect of antibiotic artificial bone implantation and external fixation in the treatment of infection after intramedullary nail fixation. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients with infection after intramedullary nail fixation treated from March 2010 to August 2020. There were 27 males and 6 female, aged from 12 to 67 years (average 42.27 years), 18 cases on the left side and 15 cases on the right side. Among them, 20 cases were open fractures with initial injury and 13 cases were closed fractures. All patients were treated with intramedullary nail removal, local debridement, antibiotic artificial bone implantation and external fixation. Because of bone defects, 19 patients underwent secondary autologous cancellous bone grafting after infection control. Postoperative wound healing, related inflammatory indicators, fixation time, and bone healing time were recorded and followed up. Results The 33 patients were followed up with period of 10 ~ 98 months (average 62.7 months). One patients failed to control the infection effectively after treatment, so received antibiotics artificial bone implantation again. Two patients also received antibiotic artificial bone implants again due to the recurrence of the infection. After treatment, infection was controlled and the fracture healed well. One patient received vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) due to persistent postoperative exudation, and five patients were also cured successfully after continuous dressing. Two patients had sinus tract after surgery, and the wound was cured by continuous dressing change. Nineteen patients received autogenous iliac bone grafts for healing due to bone defects ranging from 3 to 6.5 cm (average 4.15 cm) after infection control. The external fixation time of 33 patients ranged from 4 to 16 months (average 7.79 months), the bone healing time ranged from 4 to 13 months (average 6.67 months), and the related inflammatory indexes returned to normal within 2–8 weeks (average 4.48 weeks). Conclusion Antibiotic artificial bone implantation and external fixation is an effective method for the treatment of infection after intramedullary nail fixation.

Abstract
Abstract
To determine the most effective preservation method for MiBa (a traditional Chinese rice product), MiBa treated with 75% alcohol, 75% alcohol + inhibitor, ozone treatment; untreated (control); and raw rice were subjected to 16S rRNA gene and ITS three-generation sequencing by High-throughput Sequencing Technology. According to the results the preservation effects of different treatment methods ranked as follows: ozone treatment >75% alcohol treatment >75% alcohol+inhibitor > control. Bacterial composition analysis showed that the bacterial community on the surface of MiBa treated with ozone was dominated by genera Leuconostoc and Serratia. The fungal community consisted mainly of Aspergillus and Alternaria. In summary, ozone treatment proved to be the most effective in inhibiting microbial contamination during the storage of MiBa, effectively extending its shelf life.

Abstract
The limited response rate of immunotherapy in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) might be attributed to additional immunosuppressive mechanisms in vivo. As a promising immune checkpoint target, the expression and prognostic role of indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) in UTUC remains unknown. In this study, the expression and prognostic value of IDO1 was analyzed in 251 patients from 3 independent cohorts. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression model was used to construct an IDO1‐based immune classifier and external validation was performed to further validate the classifier. RNA sequencing and immunofluorescence were used to explore the immune contexture of different risk groups stratified by classifier. We found that high IDO1 expression on tumor cells (TC) indicated a poorer overall survival and disease‐free survival in all cohorts. Patients with high expression of IDO1 TC possessed increased infiltration of CD4+, CD8+ and Foxp3+ T cells. An immune classifier based on intratumoral CD8+ lymphocytes, IDO1 TC, and stromal PD‐L1 expression status was developed, with its area under the curves (AUCs) values for overall survival at 5 y being 0.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65‐0.93) in the discovery cohort, 0.75 (95% CI 0.58‐0.92) and 0.78 (95% CI 0.65‐0.92) in the internal and external validation cohorts, respectively. The high‐risk group stratified by the immune classifier was associated with immunosuppressive contexture, accompanied by enhanced CD8+ T cells exhaustion patterns. Our IDO1‐based immune classifier can provide a superior accuracy for survival prediction and lead to individual stratification of UTUC immune subtypes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of miR-671-5p in regulating the migration and invasion of osteosarcoma and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS The differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in osteosarcoma were screened in the NCBI online database, and the target proteins of these miRNAs were predicted and their functions were analyzed. Osteosarcoma cells were transfected with a plasmid overexpressing miR-671-5p, and the transfection efficiency was assessed using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The changes in the migration and invasion of the transfected cells were examined with Transwell assay, and the expressions of proteins related with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were detected using Western blotting. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine whether the 3'UTR of SMAD3 contained a targeted binding site of miR-671-5p. RESULTS MiR-671-5p was significantly down-regulated in both osteosarcoma tissues and osteosarcoma cells (P < 0.05). The osteosarcoma cells overexpressing miR-671-5p showed significantly reduced migration and invasion abilities (P < 0.05) with obviously lowered expressions of EMT-related proteins (P < 0.05). SMAD3 was highly expressed in osteosarcoma cells (P < 0.05), and dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the presence of a targeted binding site between miR-671-5p and the 3'UTR of SMAD3 (P < 0.05). In osteosarcoma cells transfected with a SMAD3-overexpressing plasmid (P < 0.05), the high expression of SMAD3 significantly inhibited by miR-671-5p overexpression (P < 0.05). Transwell assay demonstrated that SMAD3 overexpression significantly promoted the migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells (P < 0.05), and while miR-671-5p overexpression obviously reversed this effect (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION MiR-671-5p can inhibit the invasion and migration of osteosarcoma cells by negatively regulating SMAD3.

Abstract
Neural networks can approximate data because of owning many compact non-linear layers. In high-dimensional space, due to the curse of dimensionality, data distribution becomes sparse, causing that it is difficulty to provide sufficient information. Hence, the task becomes even harder if neural networks approximate data in high-dimensional space. To address this issue, according to the Lipschitz condition, the two deviations, i.e., the deviation of the neural networks trained using high-dimensional functions, and the deviation of high-dimensional functions approximation data, are derived. This purpose of doing this is to improve the ability of approximation high-dimensional space using neural networks. Experimental results show that the neural networks trained using high-dimensional functions outperforms that of using data in the capability of approximation data in high-dimensional space. We find that the neural networks trained using high-dimensional functions more suitable for high-dimensional space than that of using data, so that there is no need to retain sufficient data for neural networks training. Our findings suggests that in high-dimensional space, by tuning hidden layers of neural networks, this is hard to have substantial positive effects on improving precision of approximation data.

Abstract
Technical advancements significantly improve earlier diagnosis of cervical cancer, but accurate diagnosis is still difficult due to various factors. We develop an artificial intelligence assistive diagnostic solution, AIATBS, to improve cervical liquid-based thin-layer cell smear diagnosis according to clinical TBS criteria. We train AIATBS with >81,000 retrospective samples. It integrates YOLOv3 for target detection, Xception and Patch-based models to boost target classification, and U-net for nucleus segmentation. We integrate XGBoost and a logical decision tree with these models to optimize the parameters given by the learning process, and we develop a complete cervical liquid-based cytology smear TBS diagnostic system which also includes a quality control solution. We validate the optimized system with >34,000 multicenter prospective samples and achieve better sensitivity compared to senior cytologists, yet retain high specificity while achieving a speed of <180s/slide. Our system is adaptive to sample preparation using different standards, staining protocols and scanners.

Abstract
Subtypes (1-4) of the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels are widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as the cells of smooth muscles in many organs. They mainly serve to regulate cellular excitability in these tissues. The HCN channel blocker ZD7288 has been shown to reduce apomorphine-induced conditioned taste aversion on saccharin preference in rats suggesting potential antinausea/antiemetic effects. Currently, in the least shew model of emesis we find that ZD7288 induces vomiting in a dose-dependent manner, with maximal efficacies of 100% at 1 mg/kg (i.p.) and 83.3% at 10 µg (i.c.v.). HCN channel subtype (1-4) expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry in the least shrew brainstem dorsal vagal complex (DVC) containing the emetic nuclei (area postrema (AP), nucleus tractus solitarius and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus). Highly enriched HCN1 and HCN4 subtypes are present in the AP. A 1 mg/kg (i.p.) dose of ZD7288 strongly evoked c-Fos expression and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in the shrew brainstem DVC, but not in the in the enteric nervous system in the jejunum, suggesting a central contribution to the evoked vomiting. The ZD7288-evoked c-Fos expression exclusively occurred in tryptophan hydroxylase 2-positive serotonin neurons of the dorsal vagal complex, indicating activation of serotonin neurons may contribute to ZD7288-induced vomiting. To reveal its mechanism(s) of emetic action, we evaluated the efficacy of diverse antiemetics against ZD7288-evoked vomiting including the antagonists/inhibitors of: ERK1/2 (U0126), L-type Ca2+ channel (nifedipine); store-operated Ca2+ entry (MRS 1845); T-type Ca2+ channel (Z944), IP3R (2-APB), RyR receptor (dantrolene); the serotoninergic type 3 receptor (palonosetron); neurokinin 1 receptor (netupitant), dopamine type 2 receptor (sulpride), and the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 receptor agonist, resiniferatoxin. All tested antiemetics except sulpride attenuated ZD7288-evoked vomiting to varying degrees. In sum, ZD7288 has emetic potential mainly via central mechanisms, a process which involves Ca2+ signaling and several emetic receptors. HCN channel blockers have been reported to have emetic potential in the clinic since they are currently used/investigated as therapeutic candidates for cancer therapy related- or unrelated-heart failure, pain, and cognitive impairment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of miR-300 and PTTG1 on osteosarcoma invasion and metastasis and explore the molecular mechanism of osteosarcoma invasion and metastasis. OBJECTIVE Western blot was used to detect the expression of PTTG1 in human osteoblasts hFOB1.19 and osteosarcoma cell MG63 and to detect the transfection efficiency of cells transfected with PTTG1-knockdown plasmid; Transwell invasion assay and CCK8 assay detected the effects of knockdown of PTTG1 and overexpression of miR-300 on the invasion and proliferation of osteosarcoma cell MG63. On-line prediction and screening of microRNAs (miRNAs) with complementary PTTG1 binding was conducted. qRT-PCR was performed to examine the expression of miR-300 in hFOB1.19 and MG63 cells, and Western blotting was used to detect the expression of PTTG1 in MG63 cells after transfection with a miR- 300 plasmid. Double luciferase assay was used to detect the targeted binding of miR-300 and PTTG, Transwell invasion assay and CCK8 assay were used to detect the effects of overexpression of miR-300 and overexpression of PTTG1 plasmid on invasion and proliferation of osteosarcoma cell line MG63. OBJECTIVE PTTG1 was highly expressed in MG63 cells (P=0.0002). PTTG1 knockdown significantly inhibited the invasion (P=0.0002) and proliferation (P=0.0039) of MG63 cells. Based on the results of online prediction of complementary miRNAs to PTTG1 and analysis of the data from NCBI database, miR-300 was determined as the target miRNA in this study. qRT-PCR results showed a significantly decreased expression of miR-300 in MG63 cells (P=0.0004). Overexpression of MiR-300 in MG63 cells significantly decreased the expression of PTTG1 (P=0.0007), and the expressions of miR-300 and PTTG1 were negatively correlated. Dual luciferase assay showed that miR-300 could specifically bind to PTTG1 (P=0.001). Overexpression of PTTG1 could significantly reverse the effect of miR-300 overexpression on invasion (P=0.0003) and proliferation (P=0.0077) of MG63 cells. OBJECTIVE Overexpression of miR-300 can inhibit the invasion and metastasis of osteosarcoma cell MG63 by targeting PTTG1.

Abstract
Locally advanced upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) exhibits high recurrence and metastasis rates even after radical nephroureterectomy. Adjuvant immunotherapy can be a reasonable option, and a simple, low-cost, and effective biomarker is further needed. Stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) has been demonstrated as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in various tumor types, but not yet in locally advanced UTUC. In this multicenter, real-world and retrospective study, we tried to investigate the prognostic role of sTIL and its correlation with the PD-L1/PD-1/CD8 axis by reviewing the clinicopathologic variables of 398 locally advanced UTUC patients at four high-volume Chinese medical centers. sTIL density was evaluated with standardized methodology on H&E sections, and patients were stratified by the cutoff of sTIL (50%). Results showed that high sTIL indicated improved survival (CSS, p = .022; RFS, p = .015; DFS, p = .004), and was an independent predictor of better CSS (HR, 0.577; 95% CI, 0.391–0.851; p = .006), RFS (HR, 0.613; 95% CI 0.406–0.925; p = .020) and DFS (HR, 0.609; 95% CI, 0.447–0.829; p = .002). A strongly positive correlation between sTIL density and the expression level of PD-1/PD-L1/CD8 axis was observed. We also found that aristolochic acid (AA) exposure was associated with increased sTIL and elevated PD-L1 expression, indicating that AA-related UTUC might be a distinct subgroup with unique tumor microenvironment characteristics. Our results show that sTIL can be an easily acquired biomarker for prognostic stratification in locally advanced UTUC.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to review the clinicopathologic characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients with primary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the bladder (LCNEC). Patients and Methods: We report one patient diagnosed with primary pure LCNEC of the bladder in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. In addition, we performed a systematic literature review, in April 2020, on case report and case series of LCNEC of the bladder. The clinicopathologic characteristics, treatments and outcomes of this rare disease were analyzed. Results: A total of 39 patients were included in our analysis (1 case from our institution and 38 cases from the literature). Most patients (79.5%) were male. The average age at the surgery for the patients is 61.5 years (range 19–85 years). The most common symptom was hematuria (n = 20, 76.9%). Almost all patients (38, 97.4%) underwent surgery, with 26 (66.7%) receiving multimodality therapy. Out of 24 patients with available data, regional or distant recurrences developed in 14 patients (58.3%). The median overall survival of the patients was 11.5 months, with 1- and 3-year survival rates of 54.0 and 21.4%, respectively. In the survival analysis, theT1–2 tumors (P = 0.025), no distant metastases at diagnosis (P = 0.001), and multimodality therapy (P = 0.017) were associated with better overall survival (OS). Conclusions: LCNEC of the bladder is an extremely rare neoplasm. The available data suggest that the disease has an aggressive natural history with poor prognosis. Early pathologic stage and multimodality treatment may be important factors in determining prognosis.

Abstract
The prediction of the response to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) can help identify non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients that may be better served with alternative therapy. Several cytokine profiles present promising results, but they are difficult to use in clinical practice. In this prospective, longitudinal study, we tried to identify reliable serum cytokines/chemokines to predict the response to BCG using samples collected before and during BCG induction therapy. We used the Bio-plex multiplex assays to identify potential BCG failure-related serum cytokines/chemokines in the discovery set (n = 13). After screening, we identified CCL27 as the top candidate biomarker for predicting the response to BCG (P = .003). In the validation set, we found that the AUC of the baseline CCL27 was 0.730 (95% CI 0.515-0.945, P = .040) along with 67% sensitivity, 78% specificity. The changes from baseline to last timepoint can also distinguish BCG responders from non-responders (AUC: 0.726, 95% CI 0.474-0.979, P = .044). Moreover, the combination score of serum CCL27 (CSCCL27), based on the baseline and changes of CCL27, could further improve the predictive accuracy with an AUC of 0.897 (95% CI 0.790-1.000, P < .001). The correlations between CCL27 and local/systemic immunologic parameters were further analyzed. The level of serum CCL27 was strongly correlated with regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment (P = .002), indicating that CCL27 may promote the recruitment of Tregs into the tumor microenvironment. Our results show that serum CCL27 may represent a practical and reliable marker for the prediction of the response to BCG in NMIBC.

Abstract
First-principles calculation of diffusion coefficients between Mg and Al is investigated comprehensively using density functional theory (DFT). The effect of different uncertainty sources arising from first principles calculations has been investigated systematically. These sources include the diffusion model, energetic, entropic and attempt frequency calculations. Variation in self and impurity diffusion coefficients of Mg and Al in stable phases are quantified using different DFT settings and compared with the experiments. Using the optimal DFT settings, diffusion coefficients in metastable phases of Al and Mg are predicted. The dataset refers to "An integrated experimental and computational study of diffusion and atomic mobility of the aluminum-magnesium system" [1].
