Abstract
Objective: To investigate the spatial distribution pattern of local tumor progression (LTP) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ≤5 cm after microwave ablation. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 169 HCCs with matched MRI before and after ablation from December 2009 to December 2019. A tumor MRI was reconstructed using three-dimensional visualization technology. LTP was classified as contact or non-contact, early or late stage, according to whether LTP was in contact with the edge of the ablation zone and the occurrence time (24 months). The tumor-surrounded area was divided into eight quadrants by using the eight-quadrant map method. An analysis was conducted on the spatial correlation between the quadrant where the ablative margin (AM) safety boundary was located and the quadrant where different types of LTP occurred. The t-test, or rank-sum test, was used for the measurement data. 2-test for count data was used to compare the difference between the two groups. Results: The AM quadrant had a distribution of 54.4% LTP, 64.2% early LTP stage, and 69.1% contact LTP, suggesting this quadrant was much more concentrated than the other quadrants (P < 0.001). Additionally, the AM quadrant had only 15.2% of non-contact type LTP and 17.1% of late LTP, which was not significantly different from the average distribution probability of 12.5% (100/8%) among the eight quadrants (P = 0.667, 0.743). 46.6% of early contact type LTP was located at the ablation needle tip, 25.2% at the body, and 28.1% at the caudal, while the location distribution probabilities of non-early contact LTP were 34.8%, 31.8%, and 33.3%, respectively. Conclusion: LTP mostly occurs in areas where the ablation safety boundary is the shortest. However, non-contact LTP and late LTP stages exhibit the feature of uniform distribution. Thus, this type of LPT may result from an inadequate non-ablation safety boundary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a higher incidence in males, but the association of sex with survival remains controversial. This study aimed to examine the effect of sex on HCC survival and its association with age. METHODS Among 33,238 patients with HCC from 12 Chinese tertiary hospitals, 4175 patients who underwent curative-intent hepatectomy or ablation were analyzed. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) was analyzed using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier methods. Two propensity score methods and multiple mediation analysis were applied to mitigate confounding. To explore the effect of estrogen, a candidate sex-specific factor that changes with age, female participants' history of estrogen use, and survival were analyzed. RESULTS There were 3321 males and 854 females included. A sex-related disparity of CSS was present and showed a typical age-dependent pattern: a female survival advantage over males appeared at the perimenopausal age of 45 to 54 years (hazard risk [HR], 0.77; 5-year CSS, 85.7% vs 70.6%; P = .018), peaked at the early postmenopausal age of 55 to 59 years (HR, 0.57; 5-year CSS, 89.8% vs 73.5%; P = .015), and was not present in the premenopausal (<45 y) and late postmenopausal groups (≥60 y). Consistent patterns were observed in patients after either ablation or hepatectomy. These results were sustained with propensity score analyses. Confounding or mediation effects accounted for only 19.5% of sex survival disparity. Female estrogen users had significantly longer CSS than nonusers (HR, 0.74; 5-year CSS, 79.6% vs 72.5%; P = .038). CONCLUSIONS A female survival advantage in HCC depends on age, and this may be associated with age-dependent, sex-specific factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several international practice guidelines have recommended local ablation as the first-line treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the synergetic anti-tumor impact of dendritic cell-cytokine killer (DC-CIK) combined with microwave ablation (MWA) for HCC. METHODS This retrospective study included 1,141 patients from the American Joint Committee on Cancer stage I-II HCC, who were treated with therapeutic MWA. The immunotherapy group encompassing 40 patients received additional immunotherapy with DC-CIK, whereas the control group consisting of 1,101 patients was treated with MWA alone. Propensity score matching (PSM) with ratio of 1:3 was employed to balance selection bias. The oncological outcome and immune status were measured after combination therapy. RESULTS The immunotherapy group patients exhibited significant longer disease-free survival (DFS, primary HCC: p= 0.036; recurrent HCC: p= 0.026). For patients with primary HCC, the recurrence frequency was reduced (p= 0.002), and recurrence interval (19 months vs. 9 months, p< 0.001) was prolonged in the immunotherapy group. Subgroup analysis revealed that patients ⩽ 60 years old, moderately-differentiated HCC, or co-infected with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) had a significant benefit over DFS in the immunotherapy group. After combination therapy, the serum CD3+ (p= 0.049), CD8/CD28+ (p= 0.045) were elevated. CONCLUSION Combination therapy with DC-CIK and MWA can significantly reduce the recurrence and prolong DFS, especially for patients ⩽ 60 years old or with moderately-differentiated HCC or co-infected with HBV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) and percutaneous sclerotherapy (PS) for the treatment of large hepatic hemangioma (LHH). METHODS This retrospective study included 96 patients who underwent MWA (n = 54) and PS (n = 42) as first-line treatment for LHH in three tertiary hospitals from January 2016 to December 2021. Primary outcomes were technique efficacy rate (volume reduction rate [VRR] > 50% at 12 months), symptom relief rate at 12 months and local tumor progression (LTP). Secondary outcomes included procedure time, major complications, treatment sessions, cost and one-, two-, three-year VRR. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 36 months, the MWA group showed a higher technique efficacy rate (100% vs. 90.4%, p = .018) and symptom relief rate (100% vs. 80%, p = .123) than the PS group. The MWA group had fewer treatment sessions, higher one-, two- and three-year VRR, lower LTP rate (all p < .05), longer procedure time and higher treatment costs than the PS group (both p < .001). MWA shared a comparable major complications rate (1.8% vs. 2.4%, p = .432) with PS. After multivariate analysis, the lesion's heterogeneity and maximum diameter >8.1 cm were independent risk factors for LTP (all p < .05). In the PS group, lesions with a cumulative dose of bleomycin > 0.115 mg/cm3 had a lower risk of LTP (p = .006). CONCLUSIONS Both MWA and PS treatments for large hepatic hemangioma are safe and effective, with MWA being superior in terms of efficacy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Microwave ablation (MWA) has emerged as a minimally invasive technology for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), but it has not been widely applied to treat T1bN0M0 PTC with high-level evidence. This study was designed to compare the real-world efficacy and safety of MWA or surgery for treating T1bN0M0 PTC. METHODS From December 2019 to April 2021, 123 continuous unifocal T1bN0M0 PTC patients without lymph node metastasis (LNM) or distant metastasis (DM) were included from 10 hospitals. Patients were allocated into the MWA or surgery group based on their willingness. The main outcomes were local tumour progression (LTP), new thyroid cancer, LNM, and DM. The secondary outcomes included changes in tumour size and volume, complications, and cosmetic results. Subgroup analyses were conducted to identify influencing factors. RESULTS Fifty-two patients chose MWA, and 71 patients chose surgery. Patients had similar demographic information and tumour characteristics in the two groups. The follow-up durations after MWA and surgery were 10.6 ± 4.2 and 10.4 ± 3.4 months, respectively. The LNM rate was 5.8% in the MWA group and 1.4% in the surgery group (p = 0.177). No LTP, new thyroid cancer, or distant metastasis (DM) occurred in either group. Five (9.6%) of the 52 patients in the MWA group and 8 (11.3%) of the 71 patients in the surgery group had complications (p = 0.27). Better cosmetic results were found in the MWA group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION MWA achieved comparable short-term treatment efficacy with surgery. MWA might be an optional choice for surgery for low-risk T1bN0M0 PTC but concerns about LNM need to be studied further. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT MWA achieved comparable short-time treatment efficacy with surgery. MWA might be an optional choice for surgery for low-risk T1bN0M0 PTC. KEY POINTS • MWA achieved comparable short-term treatment efficacy with surgery. MWA might be an optional choice for surgery for low-risk T1bN0M0 PTC but concerns about LNM need to be studied further. • The complication rate in the surgery group was higher than that in the MWA group without a significant difference. • There was no statistically significant difference in the LNM rate between the MWA and surgery groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the incidence and predictive factors of abdominal pain following transarterial hepatic chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS In this single-center retrospective cohort study, abdominal pain was defined as a score of 4 or more within 72 h after TACE and requiring additional drug intervention. Patient, tumor characteristics, and technical factors associated with severe pain were identified using the decision tree and binary logistic regression model. RESULTS Of 220 patients who were included in the study, 126 (57.3%) had abdominal pain after 206 of 420 TACE procedures (49.0%). A predictive model built based on the logistic regression identified the drug-eluting bead TACE (DEB-TACE) (odds ratio [OR] = 3.340; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.169-5.141), the number of tumors (OR = 2.235; 95% CI 1.060-4.713), embolization of both hepatic lobes (OR = 2.310; 95% CI 1.109-4.813), and concomitant extrahepatic artery embolism (OR = 2.654; 95% CI 1.227-5.739) as the independent predictors of severe abdominal pain. Similarly, the decision tree confirmed the DEB-TACE as the strongest predictor of subsequent performance, followed by the history of hepatectomy and the embolization in the right or both lobes. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the classification prediction effect of the two models was 0.706 for the logistic regression and 0.676 for the decision tree. Internal validation results show that the accuracy of logistic regression model prediction was 71.4%. CONCLUSION The model suggests that DEB-TACE and multiple treatment sites are predictors of abdominal pain after TACE in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. It may help improve nursing management practices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (SNZ-CEUS) as an imaging biomarker for preoperative prediction of microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS From August 2020 to March 2021, we conducted a prospective multicenter study on the clinical application of Sonazoid in liver tumor; a MVI prediction model was developed and validated by integrating clinical and imaging variables. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to establish the MVI prediction model; three models were developed: a clinical model, a SNZ-CEUS model, and a combined model and conduct external validation. We conducted subgroup analysis to investigate the performance of the SNZ-CEUS model in non-invasive prediction of MVI. RESULTS Overall, 211 patients were evaluated. All patients were split into derivation (n = 170) and external validation (n = 41) cohorts. Patients who had MVI accounted for 89 of 211 (42.2%) patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor size (> 49.2 mm), pathology differentiation, arterial phase heterogeneous enhancement pattern, non-single nodular gross morphology, washout time (< 90 s), and gray value ratio (≤ 0.50) were significantly associated with MVI. Combining these factors, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of the combined model in the derivation and external validation cohorts was 0.859 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.803-0.914) and 0.812 (95% CI: 0.691-0.915), respectively. In subgroup analysis, the AUROC of the SNZ-CEUS model in diameter ≤ 30 mm and ˃ 30 mm cohorts were 0.819 (95% CI: 0.698-0.941) and 0.747 (95% CI: 0.670-0.824). CONCLUSIONS Our model predicted the risk of MVI in HCC patients with high accuracy preoperatively. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Sonazoid, a novel second-generation ultrasound contrast agent, can accumulate in the endothelial network and form a unique Kupffer phase in liver imaging. The preoperative non-invasive prediction model based on Sonazoid for MVI is helpful for clinicians to make individualized treatment decisions. KEY POINTS • This is the first prospective multicenter study to analyze the possibility of SNZ-CEUS preoperatively predicting MVI. • The model established by combining SNZ-CEUS image features and clinical features has high predictive performance in both derivation cohort and external validation cohort. • The findings can help clinicians predict MVI in HCC patients before surgery and provide a basis for optimizing surgical management and monitoring strategies for HCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard and proper antituberculosis (anti-TB) treatment is essential for patients with TB, and rifamycin antibiotics are key components of anti-TB therapy. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of rifamycin antibiotics can shorten the time to response and complete treatment of TB. Notably, antimicrobial activities of the major active metabolites of rifamycin are similar to those of their parent compounds. Thus, a rapid and simple assay was developed for simultaneous determination of rifamycin antibiotics and their major active metabolites in plasma to evaluate their impact on target peak concentrations. Here, the authors have developed and validated a method for simultaneous determination of rifamycin antibiotics and their active metabolites in human plasma using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. METHODS Analytical validation of the assay was performed in accordance with the bioanalytical method validation guidance for industry described by the US Food and Drug Administration and the guidelines for bioanalytical method validation described by the European Medicines Agency. RESULTS The drug concentration quantification method for rifamycin antibiotics, including rifampicin, rifabutin, and rifapentine, and their major active metabolites was validated. Significant differences in the proportions of active metabolites in rifamycin antibiotics may affect the redefinition of their effective concentration ranges in the plasma. The method developed herein is expected to redefine the ranges of "true" effective concentrations of rifamycin antibiotics (including parent compounds and their active metabolites). CONCLUSIONS The validated method can be successfully applied for high-throughput analysis of rifamycin antibiotics and their active metabolites for TDM in patients receiving anti-TB treatment regimens containing these antibiotics. Proportions of active metabolites in rifamycin antibiotics markedly varied among individuals. Depending on the clinical indications of patients, the therapeutic ranges for rifamycin antibiotics may be redefined.

Abstract
Panaxadiol saponin (PND) is a latent targeted drug for the treatment of aplastic anemia (AA). In this study, we examined the effects of PND on ferroptosis in iron-overload AA and Meg-01 cells. We utilized RNA-seq to analyze differentially expressed genes in iron-induced Meg-01 cells treated with PND. The effects of PND or combined with deferasirox (DFS) on iron deposition, labile iron pool (LIP), several ferroptosis events, apoptosis, mitochondrial structure, as well as ferroptosis-, Nrf2/HO-1-, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway-related markers in iron-induced Meg-01 cells were examined by Prussian-blue staining, flow cytometer, ELISA, Hoechst 33342 staining, transmission electron microscope, and Western blot assays, respectively. Additionally, an AA mice model with iron overload was established. Then, the blood routine was assessed, and the number of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) in mice was counted. Also, serum iron, ferroptosis events, apoptosis, histology, T lymphocyte percentage, ferroptosis-, Nrf2/HO-1-, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling-related targets in primary megakaryocytes of AA mice with iron overload were assessed by commercial kits, TUNEL staining, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Prussian blue staining, flow cytometer, and qRT-PCR analysis, respectively. PND suppressed iron-triggered iron overload, and apoptosis, and ameliorated mitochondrial morphology in Meg-01 cells. Importantly, PND ameliorated ferroptosis-, Nrf2/HO-1-, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling-related marker expressions in iron-induced Meg-01 cells or primary megakaryocytes of AA mice with iron overload. Moreover, PND ameliorated body weight, peripheral blood cell counts, the number of BMMNCs, and histological injury in the iron-overload AA mice. Also, PND improved the percentage of T lymphocytes in the iron-overload AA mice. PND attenuates ferroptosis against iron-overload AA mice and Meg-01 cells via activating Nrf2/HO-1 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and is a promising novel therapeutic candidate for AA.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of pediatric patients with dual genetic diagnoses (DGD). Methods: Clinical and genetic data of pediatric patients with DGD from January 2021 to February 2022 in Peking University First Hospital were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among the 9 children, 6 were boys and 3 were girls. The age of last visit or follow-up was 5.0 (2.7,6.8) years. The main clinical manifestations included motor retardation, mental retardation, multiple malformations, and skeletal deformity. Cases 1-4 were all all boys, showed myopathic gait, poor running and jumping, and significantly increased level of serum creatine kinase. Disease-causing variations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene were confirmed by genetic testing. The 4 children were diagnosed with DMD or Becker muscular dystrophy combined with a second genetic disease, including hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, spinal muscular atrophy, fragile X syndrome, and cerebral cavernous malformations type 3, respectively. Cases 5-9 were clinically and genetically diagnosed as COL9A1 gene-related multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 6 combined with NF1 gene-related neurofibromatosis type 1, COL6A3 gene-related Bethlem myopathy with WNT1 gene-related osteogenesis imperfecta type XV, Turner syndrome (45, X0/46, XX chimera) with TH gene-related Segawa syndrome, Chromosome 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome with DYNC1H1 gene-related autosomal dominant lower extremity-predominant spinal muscular atrophy-1, and ANKRD11 gene-related KBG syndrome combined with IRF2BPL gene-related neurodevelopmental disorder with regression, abnormal movement, language loss and epilepsy. DMD was the most common, and there were 6 autosomal dominant diseases caused by de novo heterozygous pathogenic variations. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with coexistence of double genetic diagnoses show complex phenotypes. When the clinical manifestations and progression are not fully consistent with the diagnosed rare genetic disease, a second rare genetic disease should be considered, and autosomal dominant diseases caused by de novo heterozygous pathogenic variation should be paid attention to. Trio-based whole-exome sequencing combining a variety of molecular genetic tests would be helpful for precise diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Microwave ablation (MWA) has achieved favorable results in the treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) confined in glandular parenchyma. However, studies on the outcome of MWA for PTMC with US-detected capsular invasion remain unclarified in the literature. Purpose To compare the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of MWA in the treatment of PTMC with and without US-detected capsular invasion. Materials and Methods Participants from 12 hospitals with a PTMC maximal diameter of 1 cm or less without US- or CT-detected lymph node metastasis (LNM) who planned to undergo MWA were enrolled in this prospective study between December 2019 and April 2021. All tumors were evaluated with preoperative US and were divided into those with and those without capsular invasion. The participants were observed until July 1, 2022. The primary end points, including technical success and disease progression, and the secondary end points, including treatment parameters, complications, and tumor shrinkage during follow-up, were compared between the two groups, and multivariable regression was performed. Results After exclusion, 461 participants (mean age, 43 years ± 11 [SD]; 337 women) were included: 83 with and 378 without capsular invasion. After one participant with capsular invasion aborted MWA because of technical failure, 82 participants with and 378 participants without capsular invasion (mean tumor volume, 0.1 mL ± 0.1 vs 0.1 mL ± 0.1; P = .07) were analyzed with a mean follow-up period of 20 months ± 4 (range, 12-25 months) and 21 months ± 4 (range, 11-26 months), respectively. In those with and those without capsular invasion, comparable technical success rates were achieved (99% [82 of 83] vs 100% [378 of 378], P = .18), with one and 11 complications, respectively (1% [one of 82] vs 3% [11 of 378], P = .38). There was no evidence of differences in disease progression (2% [one of 82] vs 1% [four of 378]; P = .82) or tumor shrinkage (mean, 97% ± 8 [SD] vs 96% ± 13; P = .58). Conclusion Microwave ablation was feasible in the treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma with US-detected capsular invasion and showed comparable short-term efficacy with or without the presence of capsular invasion. © RSNA, 2023 Clinical trial registration no.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) without subsequent lumpectomy and breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with early breast cancer (BC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 106 patients with early BC (T0/1/2 N0/1 M0) treated by MWA (n = 21) or BCS (n = 85) from October 2014 to December 2020. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance the baseline characteristics between MWA and BCS groups. The tumor progression, overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), complications, and cosmetic results were compared. RESULTS After PSM, there were 21 patients with balanced baseline characteristics in each group. After a median follow-up of 43 months (range, 15-89 months), there was no significant difference in tumor progression (10% vs 2%, p = 0.18), OS (96% vs 99%, p = 0.36), DSS (100% vs 99%, p > 0.99), and complications (0% vs 19%, p = 0.58). The operation time of MWA was shorter (60 min vs 101 min, p < 0.001) than that of BCS. For the management of metastatic lymph nodes, five (5/21, 24%) patients with six metastatic nodes underwent ablation in the MWA group and three patients (3/21, 14%) with six metastatic nodes underwent axillary lymph node dissection in the BCS group. All the patients in the MWA group reported excellent cosmetic results, but 29% of BCS patients expressed dissatisfaction with breast asymmetry (10%) and scar formation (19%) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This pilot study indicated that in selected early BC patients, microwave ablation without subsequent lumpectomy had comparable tumor control effect with breast-conserving surgery and better cosmetic results at an intermediate follow-up.HighlightsMWA without subsequent lumpectomy has a comparable interim survival effect and better cosmetic results as BCS in the treatment of selected early breast cancer.MWA has the potential to be a viable and promising therapeutic option for breast cancer patients reluctant or intolerant to surgery with the advantage of minimal invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The study objective was to compare the effectiveness of microwave ablation (MWA) and laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) on solitary 3-5-cm HCC over time. APPROACH AND RESULTS From 2008 to 2019, 1289 patients from 12 hospitals were enrolled in this retrospective study. Diagnosis of all lesions were based on histopathology. Propensity score matching was used to balance all baseline variables between the two groups in 2008-2019 (n = 335 in each group) and 2014-2019 (n = 257 in each group) cohorts, respectively. For cohort 2008-2019, during a median follow-up of 35.8 months, there were no differences in overall survival (OS) between MWA and LLR (HR: 0.88, 95% CI 0.65-1.19, p = 0.420), and MWA was inferior to LLR regarding disease-free survival (DFS) (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.05-1.75, p = 0.017). For cohort 2014-2019, there was comparable OS (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.56-1.30, p = 0.460) and approached statistical significance for DFS (HR 1.33, 95% CI 0.98-1.82, p = 0.071) between MWA and LLR. Subgroup analyses showed comparable OS in 3.1-4.0-cm HCCs (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.53-1.47, p = 0.630) and 4.1-5.0-cm HCCs (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.37-1.60, p = 0.483) between two modalities. For both cohorts, MWA shared comparable major complications (both p > 0.05), shorter hospitalization, and lower cost to LLR (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS MWA might be a first-line alternative to LLR for solitary 3-5-cm HCC in selected patients with technical advances, especially for patients unsuitable for LLR.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the application value of new biological specimen oral fluid in SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid and antibody detection. Oral fluid and paired respiratory and blood specimens from 7 confirmed cases of two COVID-19 cluster epidemic were collected in Beijing from October to November 2021. SARS-CoV-2 virus and IgG antibody were detected by real time PCR kits and serum antibody detection reagents, and SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody in oral fluids was detected by a new established method of magnetic particle chemiluminescence. The results showed that the nucleic acid amplification test of SARS-CoV-2 on nasopharyngeal swabs, throat swabs and oral fluid specimens from 3 confirmed cases of COVID-19 was positive, among which the Ct value for ORF1a/b and N gene of oral fluid samples in 2 cases was close to that of throat swab, and the Ct value of oral fluid sample for 1 case was higher than that of throat swab. The complete genome sequence of one oral fluid specimen was obtained, which belonged to the VOC/Delta variant strain. The SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies of the paired oral fluid and serum were all positive, and the S/CO values of oral fluid were all lower than those of serum. The series of oral fluid results showed that SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody level increased from 11 to 32 days after the onset of the disease.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the level and trend of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody among healthy population in Beijing in 2017, after the five-year implementation of the two doses varicella vaccination strategy in 2012, and to provide evidence for scientific evaluation of immunization strategy. Methods: A total of 2 144 subjects in ten age groups from 8 districts of Beijing city were recruited in this study using cross-sectional survey based on multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Serum samples were collected and VZV antibody was detected by ELISA. The influencing factors of antibody concentration and positive rate were analyzed and compared with the study in 2012. The antibody concentration and antibody positive rate were analyzed by nonparametric test and χ² test respectively. Results: The ratio of subjects with registered residence in Beijing city to other provinces was 1∶1. The ratio of male to female was 1∶1.08. The median concentration of VZV antibody was 341.4 (78.6, 1 497.8) mIU/ml, and the total antibody positive rate was 71.1% (1 524/2 144). There were significant differences in antibody positive rate (χ²=736.39, P<0.01) and antibody concentration (χ²=740.34, P<0.01) among different age groups. The antibody positive rate generally increased with age (χ²trend=7.32, Ptrend<0.01). Among 862 children under 14 years old, the antibody positive rate of two doses vaccination 72.8% (182/250) was significantly higher than that of one dose vaccination 51.9% (154/297) (χ²=25.14, P<0.01). There was significant difference between 1-4 years old group (χ²=11.71, P<0.01) and 10-14 years old group (χ²=5.95, P=0.02), but not in 5-9 years old group (χ²=3.00, P=0.07). Compared with the study in 2012, the antibody positive rate increased in 5-9 years old group (χ²=14.35, P<0.01) and decreased in 1-4 years old group (χ²=11.51, P=0.01) in 2017. Conclusion: The recommended varicella booster vaccination has significantly improved the VZV antibody level of children in Beijing city. In the future, it is necessary to explore a more optimized two doses varicella vaccination schedule for children in combination with epidemiological evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Focal lesions in fatty liver are difficult to diagnose using conventional ultrasonography (CVUS). The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of solitary necrotic nodules (SNNs) in fatty liver using CVUS and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and to evaluate the diagnostic value of CEUS for SNNs in fatty liver. METHODS Fifteen SNNs in the fatty liver of fifteen patients were examined by both CVUS and CEUS. The contrast agent SonoVue was used for CEUS. The characterization and shape of these SNNs in the fatty liver were analyzed using CEUS. RESULTS CVUS revealed eight oval-shaped, six irregularly shaped, and one wedge-shaped SNN in the fatty liver. The six irregularly shaped lesions on CVUS were revealed to comprise four gourd-shaped, one serpiginous, and one 3-pin socket-shaped nodule on CEUS. One of these SNNs showed a subcapsular wedge shape, with peripheral and distinct internal septal hyperenhancement in the arterial phases that washed out in the portal phase; moreover, most areas of th lesion showed no internal enhancement in any of the three phases. Fourteen of the lesions were characterized as lacking internal enhancement, and 12 of them had mild-moderate peripheral thin enhancement in the arterial phases. Twelve of the 15 nodules could be considered for diagnosis as SNNs by CEUS, which was further proved by US-guided biopsy and histopathology. However none of them could be considered for diagnosis as SNNs by CVUS. CONCLUSIONS CEUS is a valuable tool for visualizing the characteristics of SNNs in fatty liver to improve the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although microwave ablation (MWA) is a promising technique for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment, its 10-year efficacy is unknown. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess whether the advances in MWA for HCC translated into a real-world survival benefit. METHODS This retrospective study included 2,354 patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage 0 to B from 5 hospitals, with at least 2 years of follow-up for all the patients. Recurrence and survival were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method with time-period stratification. RESULTS A total of 5,326 HCCs (mean diameter, 2.9 cm ± 1.2) underwent 4,051 sessions of MWA with a median follow-up of 61.3 (0.6-169.5 range) months during 3 periods (2007-2010, 2011-2014, and 2015-2018). Technical success was achieved in 5,194 (97.5%) tumors with significant improvement over time, especially for >3.0-cm HCC (p < 0.001). Local tumor progression (LTP) showed no period-dependent advance, with >3.0-cm HCC and perivascular location being the risk factors for LTP. The median intrahepatic metastasis time was 27.6 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 25.2-28.8) months, with 5- and 10-year occurrence rates of 68.8% and 79.4%, respectively. The 5- and 10-year overall survivals were 63.9% and 41.1%, respectively, and BCLC stage 0, A, and all B patients showed an observable survival improvement over time (p < 0.001). The median disease-free survival time increased from 19.4 (95% CI: 16.5-22.6) months in 2007-2010 to 28.1 (95% CI: 25.9-32.3) months in 2015-2018. The improved survival for early recurrent (≤2 years) patients was period-dependent, as verified by Cox regression analyses. The major complications rate per procedure was 3.0% (122/4,051). CONCLUSIONS These real-world data show that MWA provided an upward trend in survival for HCC patients with BCLC stage 0-B over a 12-year follow-up period. An encouraging clear survival benefit in early recurrent patients was also observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously identified six drought-inducible CC-type glutaredoxins in cassava cultivars, however, less is known about their potential role in the molecular mechanism by which cassava adapted to abiotic stress. RESULTS Herein, we investigate one of cassava drought-responsive CC-type glutaredoxins, namely MeGRXC3, that involved in regulation of mannitol-induced inhibition on seed germination and seedling growth in transgenic Arabidopsis. MeGRXC3 overexpression up-regulates several stress-related transcription factor genes, such as PDF1.2, ERF6, ORA59, DREB2A, WRKY40, and WRKY53 in Arabidopsis. Protein interaction assays show that MeGRXC3 interacts with Arabidopsis TGA2 and TGA5 in the nucleus. Eliminated nuclear localization of MeGRXC3 failed to result mannitol-induced inhibition of seed germination and seedling growth in transgenic Arabidopsis. Mutation analysis of MeGRXC3 indicates the importance of conserved motifs for its transactivation activity in yeast. Additionally, these motifs are also indispensable for its functionality in regulating mannitol-induced inhibition of seed germination and enhancement of the stress-related transcription factors in transgenic Arabidopsis. CONCLUSIONS MeGRXC3 overexpression confers mannitol sensitivity in transgenic Arabidopsis possibly through interaction with TGA2/5 in the nucleus, and nuclear activity of MeGRXC3 is required for its function.

Abstract
Aims: To analyze the outcomes of thermal ablation for isthmic papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Patients & methods: Data for 21 isthmic-PTMC patients who underwent microwave ablation under ultrasound guidance were retrospectively collected. General information on patients and characteristics of tumors were collected. The technical effectiveness, tumor recurrence and volume changes and postoperative complications were recorded during the follow-up. Comparisons with 105 nonisthmic-PTMCs were done. Results: The technical effectiveness was 100%. No recurrence or lymph node metastases were detected. Tumor volume decreased significantly with a volume reduction rate of 1.00 ± 0.01 (range: 0.99 to 1.0) at the final evaluation and seven cases (31.8%) were completely resolved. No complication was encountered. No statistical differences were observed in terms of complications, recurrence or the volume reduction rate compared with the nonisthmic group (all p > 0.05). Conclusions: Percutaneous microwave ablation is an effective treatment strategy for isthmic-PTMC.

Abstract
Background Our research team has identified a biological active component, panaxadiol saponins component (PDS-C) isolated from total saponins of panax ginseng as a potential targeted drug for treating hemocytopenia. PDS-C possesses dual activities, namely that of promoting hematopoiesis and regulating immune function. Our study is to observe effects of PDS-C on promoting hematopoiesis in normal and aplastic anemia (AA) mice, furthermore, to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Bone marrow nucleated cells were cultured for colony forming assay of CFU-GM, CFU-E and CFU-MK in the presence of PDS-C at different concentration. The proliferation and differentiation-related genes expression profile was analyzed with DNA membrane microarray. The mRNA expression levels and protein phosphorylated state of GATA-1, GATA-2 transcription factors and AKT-1, MAPK14 protein kinases were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot, the DNA binding activity and components of GATA-DNA complex were analyzed by EMSA and antibody gel supershift assay. Results In response to PDS-C at 10, 25 and 50 mg/L, the bone marrow colony numbers of CFU-GM, CFU-E and CFU-MK increased significantly by 25.7%±3.1% to 42.4%±4.5% respectively in normal mice, and 29.7%±3.7% to 53.2%±7.1% in AA mice. The gene microarray profile initiated by PDS-C provided the up-regulated genes by more than 3 times, which can be classified into 11 categories according to their functions, including GATA-1, GATA-2, and AKT-1, MAPK14. The mRNA expression levels of GATA-1, GATA-2 were consistent with their gene microarray profile in PDS-C treated erythroid and megakaryocytic hematopoietic cells. Meanwhile, PDS-C could not only up-regulate expression levels of GATA-1, GATA-2 proteins, but also enhance phosphorylated activity state. Furthermore, PDS-C obviously enhanced binding activity of GATA protein with DNA in erythroid and megakaryocytic cells, and the main composition of GATA-DNA complex was GATA-2 and GATA-1. Conclusions PDS-C displays the role to promote proliferation and induce differentiation for hematopoietic cells. Its action mechanism may involve in GATA-1, GATA-2 transcription factors, including up-regulating mRNA and protein expression, enhancing DNA binding activity, phosphorylated functional activity and up-regulating AKT-1, MAPK14 protein kinases as the upstream signaling molecule for activation GATA-1, GATA-2 respectively in hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Clinical trials have demonstrated that Trametes robinophila Murr (Huaier granule) can inhibit recurrence and metastasis after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resection, but its efficacy as an adjuvant therapy after thermal ablation of early HCC is unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY To analyze the prognostic value and side effects of Huaier granules in HCC patients undergoing thermal ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical information from 340 eligible subjects with early-stage HCC who were admitted to our department from September 1, 2008 to January 1, 2019 was extracted from the electronic medical record database. They were divided into the thermal ablation + TCM group and the thermal ablation group. Differences in their overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), extrahepatic metastatic rate (EMR), and therapeutic side effects (TSEs) between the two groups were compared. Beneficiaries of the integrated treatment and adequate treatment length were predicted. RESULTS The median follow-up was 32.5 months (range 2-122 months). The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS rates in the integrated treatment group and the control group were 93.2% vs. 92.6%, 54.5% vs. 51.4%, 23.5% vs. 19.7% (p = 0.110, HR 0.76(0.54-1.07)). The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year PFS rates were 78.8% vs. 69.4%, 50.6% vs. 40.6%, 35.3% vs. 26.5%, respectively (p = 0.020, HR 0.67(0.48-0.94)). The median OS (35 vs. 31 months) and PFS (24 vs. 12.5 months) were longer in the integrated treatment group. The EMR in the integrated treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p = 0.018, HR 0.49 (0.27-0.89)). Patients with any two of the following three factors might be predicted to be beneficiaries of the integrated treatment, including younger than 65 years (p =0.039, HR 0.70 (0.50-0.98)), single tumor (p = 0.035, HR 0.70 (0.50-0.98), and tumor size ≤3 cm (p = 0.029, HR 0.69 (0.50-0.96). Patients with continuous oral administration of TCM following ablation had a lower probability of recurrence and metastasis within 2 years (p = 0.015, HR 0.67 (0.49-0.93)). Although the integrated treatment group reported a higher incidence of nausea and emesis, there were no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION TCM following ablation may prolong PFS and suppress recurrence in patients with HCC, with continuous oral administration for more than 2 years maybe experience a greater benefit. The TSEs of the treatment are mild and can be tolerated.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the related genes of low-dose ionizing radiation on basis of association analysis of transcriptome and proteome data, and provide new clues for the molecular mechanism of low-dose radiation (LDR) effect. Methods: In March 2018, healthy human peripheral blood was used as materials for transcriptome sequencing and proteome analysis after exposure to radiation at 150 mGy (treatment group) and no radiation (control group) , with three samples in each group. The total RNA and protein were extracted and then correlation analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic were performed to determine LDR effect-related genes, and after that, the biological process and molecular function were analyzed. Results: A total of 486 genes and 266 proteins were identified differentially expressed between treatment group and control group, respectively. Twelve genes and related proteins were found correlated (P<0.05) . The overall correlation between quantitative protein and gene was low (rs=0.0034) , the differential gene with the same change trend was positively correlated with protein expression (rs=0.6786) , and the differential gene with the opposite change trend was negatively correlated with protein expression (rs=-0.1000) . Seven differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed the same trend as proteins, among which FBXO7 and SNCA were up-regulated as well as ORM1, ORM2, HIST1H4J, HBZ and LYZ were down-regulated. Five DEGs showed the opposite trend as proteins, including SLC4A1, BCAM, C4B_2, KEL, TGM2 up-regulated in transcription level and down-regulated in protein expression level. These DEGs were involved in various biological processes such as immune system regulation, signal transduction, enzyme activity regulation, transmembrane transport, defense, transcription and DNA repair, which indicated their important roles in response to LDR in human peripheral blood. Conclusion: Twelve candidate genes related to LDR effect and their corresponding expressed proteins are screened by the correlation research of transcriptome and proteome data, which provides new clues for the further study of the mechanism of LDR effect.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a chronic immune‐mediated skin disorder. Systemic inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Methods A total of 477 patients with psoriasis vulgaris (PsV, n = 347), generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP, n = 37), erythrodermic psoriasis (PsE, n = 45), arthritic psoriasis (PsA, n = 25) and mixed psoriasis (n = 23), and 954 healthy control subjects were included in the study. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory information were collected and compared between subgroups. Results Compared with the healthy control group, patients with psoriasis had higher total white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, platelet counts, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), but lower hemoglobin (Hb) levels, lymphocyte and red blood cell (RBC) counts. NLR values in the PsV group were significantly lower than those in the GPP, PsE, and PsA groups, with GPP group being the highest. PLR values in the PsV group were significantly lower than those in the GPP, PsE, and PsA groups. There was no significant correlation between the psoriasis area severity index (PASI) score and either the NLR or PLR in the PsV group. Conclusions Elevated NLR and PLR were associated with psoriasis and differed between subtypes, suggesting that they could be used as markers of systemic inflammation in psoriasis patients.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the effect of adjuvant radiotherapy on postoperative complications of immediate deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. Methods: Data was collected from 185 patients underwent immediate DIEP reconstruction during November 2006 to March 2020 Department of Breast surgery, Fudan University shanghai Cancer Center. All the patients were female, aging (43.0±7.8) years (range: 29 to 61 years). The series included with a total of 187 flaps (2 bilateral, 183 unilateral). Included patients were divided into 2 groups: immediate DIEP reconstruction requring or not requring post-mastectomy radiation therapy (71 cases (71 flaps) in PMRT group, 114 cases (116 flaps) in control group). The aesthetic outcome were measured by Kroll score system and compared between the groups by t test. The complications included partial flap loss, minor necrosis were analyzed between the groups by χ2 test, while the influence of the other correlation factors on complication occurrence was analyzed by Logistic analysis. Results: The controll groups showed higher aesthetic results (2.21±0.55 vs. 2.47±0.82, t=-2.593, P=0.010). Complication rate in PMRT group was higher than that in control group (19.7% (15/71) vs. 4.2% (4/116), χ²=15.079,P<0.01). The complication rate was not correlated with age, body mass index, perforator number, neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions: Correlation was observed between adiuvant radiotherapy and post-operative complication of the DIEP flap. However, the complication occurrence and aesthetic results remain in the acceptable range. The other factors such as age, body mass index, perforator number, neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy should not be considered as prognosis factor of post-operative complication of the DIEP flap.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival of children with recurrent hepatoblastoma (RHB) is still unsatisfactory and the treatment for relapsed patients is challenging. PURPOSE To compare short-term results between open liver resection (OLR) and percutaneous thermal ablation (TA) in the treatment of RHB and provide evidence to support the treatment options for such patients. METHODS A retrospective data of 21 patients with RHB in two Chinese centers were analyzed from January 2013 to May 2019. The baseline indicators and clinical effect of the two groups of children were compared. RESULTS There was no statistical difference in baseline indicators between the two groups of children, and complete remission (CR) was achieved after comprehensive treatment. The median follow-up time was 30 months (IQR 38.5 months) in the TA group, and 23 months (IQR 21.7 months) in OLR group (p = .57). The 2-year OS rates were 92.3% in the percutaneous TA group and 87.5% in the OLR group (p = .68, HR = 1.6, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.2-12.4). The 2-year EFS rates were 66.7%, in the TA group and 50.0% in the OLR group (p = .51, HR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.2-2.6). Compared with the OLR group, TA group had shorter operation time (3.5 ± 1.8 vs. 0.5 ± 0.1, p < .001) and postoperative hospitalization time (11.8 ± 3.0 vs. 9.5 ± 6.8 d, p = .045). No major complications occurred in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound-guided percutaneous TA for RHB is a safe and effect treatment option for children. It has comparable effect with surgery within 2 years after treatment. Particularly, due to its minimally invasive advantage, it needs shorter operation and hospitalization time. Percutaneous ablation may be an alternative minimally invasive treatment for RHB children.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of baicalein on apoptosis of HeLa human cervical cancer (CC) cells and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. HeLa cells were treated with 20, 50, 100, or 200 μmol/L baicalein for 24, 36, and 48 hours, and CCK-8 assays were used to detect cell viability, and flow cytometry was performed to assess apoptosis rate. Reverse-transcription quantitative PCR was used to measure ERK1/2, p38, and JNK mRNA levels in HeLa cells, and western blotting was performed to measure ERK1/2, p38, and JNK protein levels. The CCK-8 assay showed that the OD value of HeLa cells gradually decreased with increasing baicalein concentrations (P < 0.01) and treatment time (P < 0.01). These results indicated a negative time- and dose-dependent effect of baicalein on HeLa cells. Baicalein treatment of HeLa cells significantly increased apoptosis rate (P < 0.01). In HeLa cells treated with 50 or 200 μmol/L baicalein for 24 h, expression levels of ERK1/2 and p38 mRNA were significantly reduced, whereas that of JNK mRNA was increased (P < 0.01). The levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and p38 were significantly reduced, and the level of JNK protein was increased (P < 0.01). Taken together, baicalein appeared to exert anti-cancer effects on HeLa cells through induction of apoptosis and regulation of the ERK/p38/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.

Abstract
Aberrant regulation of DNA methylation plays a crucial causative role in haematological malignancies (HMs). Targeted therapy, aiming for DNA methylation, is an effective mainstay of modern medicine; however, many issues remain to be addressed. The progress of epigenetic studies and the proposed theory of "state-target medicine" have provided conditions to form a new treatment paradigm that combines the "body state adjustment" of CM with targeted therapy. We discussed the correlation between Chinese medicine (CM) syndromes/states and DNA methylation in this paper. Additionally, the latest research findings on the intervention and regulation of DNA methylation in HMs, including the core targets, therapy status, CM compounds and active components of the Chinese materia medica were concisely summarized to establish a theoretical foundation of "state-target synchronous conditioning" pattern of integrative medicine for HMs, simultaneously leading a new perspective in clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Symptomatic aseptic necrosis (SAN) followed by nodule rupture is a kind of severe complications after thermal ablation for benign thyroid nodules (BTN). No studies are available to evaluate its pathologic process, clinical manifestations, risk factors and effectiveness of therapies after microwave ablation (MWA). METHODS From 2012 to 2019, 398 patients who received MWA for BTN were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data included baseline patient characteristics, imaging features (internal vascularity and the proportion of the solid component), ablation power and time, complications and prognosis were collected and documented. RESULTS Ten patients (2.51%) experienced post-MWA SAN, eight patients with nodule rupture and the other two without. The mean time from MWA to SAN symptom was 8.6 days and to rupture was 16.3 days. The initial symptoms of SAN patients were neck bulging, swelling and discomfort. Patients would go through nodule rupture once the nodule contents extended into the extrathyroidal area with the discontinuity of the anterior thyroid capsule, and fistula formed unavoidably in this condition. Incision drainage was effective for rupture and early treatment of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug might cure the early-stage SAN. Multivariate analysis showed sex (OR = 0.13; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.61; p=.03) was the risk factor leading to SAN and males were more vulnerable to SAN. CONCLUSION SAN after MWA came earlier and initially illustrated as neck bulging, swelling and discomfort. Early detection and early treatment might prevent the rupture of nodules. Once the breakdown of thyroid capsule occurred, rupture of ablated nodules out of skin was unavoidable and invasive procedures might be the most effective treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We updated the experience on percutaneous microwave ablation for renal cell carcinoma with five-center data and long-term follow-up. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed the T1N0M0 renal cell carcinoma patients who underwent microwave ablation between April 2006 and December 2019. Clinicopathological and procedural data were collected. Technical effectiveness and complications were assessed, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used for cancer-specific survival, disease-free survival, overall survival, and local neoplastic process analyses. RESULTS A total of 323 consecutive patients (mean age, 62.9 years ± 14.0) with 371 biopsy-proved tumors (mean diameter, 2.9 cm ± 1.2) were enrolled, and 42.6% of the tumors were located adjacent to collecting system/bowel and technical effectiveness was achieved in 360 (97.0%) tumors. For 275 cT1a patients, during median follow-up time of 66.0 months (IQR, 58.4-73.6), 10-year local neoplastic processes, cancer-specific survival, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 1.9%, 87.4%, 71.8, and 67.5%, respectively. For 48 cT1b patients, during the median follow-up time of 30.4 months (IQR, 17.7-44.8), 5-year local tumor progression, cancer-specific survival, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 11.3%, 91.4%, 69.1, and 89.2%, respectively. Major complications showed no differences between cT1a (3.5%) and cT1b (6.9%) patients (p = 0.28). A clinical risk stratification system was developed based on multivariable model to predict DFS and CSS with c-indexes of 0.78 (95% CI: 0.71-0.85) and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.65-0.90), respectively. CONCLUSIONS With matured follow-up at five institutions, ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation is a reliable treatment option for cT1a renal cell carcinoma even in dangerous location and appears to be promising for cT1b tumors. KEY POINTS • To our knowledge, this is the first multicenter cohort of long-term oncologic outcomes with percutaneous MWA of cT1 RCC. • The predicting model we developed is accurate to predict the long-term DFS and CSS, which can help to provide a better MWA prognostication over routinely available clinical information. • The available evidence shows that microwave ablation of clinical stage T1 RCC is safe and reliable with promising long-term oncologic outcomes, especially for cT1a RCC with excellent 10-year results.

Imaging-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) with high thermal efficiency comprises rapid, successful management of small renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) in selected patients. Ultrasound Committee of Chinese Medical Association, Interventional Oncology Committee of Chinese Research Hospital Association developed evidence-based guidelines for MWA of RCCs after systematically reviewing the 1969-2019 literature. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, cohort, and case-control studies reporting MWA of RCCs were included and levels of evidence assessed. Altogether, 146 articles were identified, of which 35 reported percutaneous MWA for T1a RCCs and 5 articles for T1b RCCs. Guidelines were established based on indications, techniques, safety, and effectiveness of MWA for RCCs, with the goal of standardizing imaging-guided percutaneous MWA treatment of RCCs. Key points Microwave ablation is recommended for managing small renal cell carcinoma in selected patients. Imaging protocols are tailored based on the procedural plan, guidance, and evaluation. Patient's selection evaluation, updated technique information, clinical efficacy, and complications are recommended to standardize management. A joint task force (multidisciplinary team) summarized the key elements of the standardized report.

Abstract
Laggera pterodonta (DC.) Benth, a folk herb widely distributes in southwest China, especially in Yunnan Province, demonstrates anti-pathogenic microorganisms, anti-inflammatory, inhibition of Helicobacter pylori activities in vitro et al. Interestingly, previous studies have shown that pterodontic acid (1), a eudesmane-type sesquiterpene isolated from L. pterodonta (DC.), displays excellent selective antiviral activity to H1N1 subtype of influenza A virus. At the same time, our group also discovered that the antiviral activity of 1 was relatively close to that activity of post-marketed ribavirin. Therefore, we consider that the synthesis of pterodontic acid (1) derivatives and evaluation of their anti-influenza A virus (H1N1) activities is of potential clinical significance. In this manuscript, a series of pterodontic acid derivatives were prepared and demonstrated significantly improved anti-influenza A virus (H1N1) activities, providing more opportunities for the treatment of respiratory viral diseases.

Abstract
Objectives We aimed to compare the therapeutic outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) as first-line therapies in patients with small single perivascular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A total of 144 eligible patients with small (≤ 3 cm) single perivascular (proximity to hepatic and portal veins) HCC who underwent RFA (N = 70) or MWA (N = 74) as first-line treatment were included. The overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and local tumor progression (LTP) rates between the two ablation modalities were compared. The inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method was used to reduce selection bias. Subgroup analysis was performed according to the type of hepatic vessels. Results After a median follow-up time of 38.2 months, there were no significant differences in OS (5-year OS: RFA 77.7% vs. MWA 74.6%; p = 0.600) and DFS (5-year DFS: RFA 24.7% vs. MWA 40.4%; p = 0.570). However, a significantly higher LTP rate was observed in the RFA group than the MWA group (5-year LTP: RFA 24.3% vs. MWA 8.4%; p = 0.030). IPTW-adjusted analyses revealed similar results. The treatment modality (RFA vs. MWA: HR 7.861, 95% CI 1.642–37.635, p = 0.010) was an independent prognostic factor for LTP. We observed a significant interaction effect of ablation modality and type of peritumoral vessel on LTP (p = 0.034). For patients with periportal HCC, the LTP rate was significantly higher in the RFA group than in the MWA group (p = 0.045). However, this difference was not observed in patients with perivenous HCC (p = 0.116). Conclusions In patients with a small single periportal HCC, MWA exhibited better tumor control than RFA. Key Points • Microwave ablation exhibited better local tumor control than radiofrequency ablation for small single periportal hepatocellular carcinoma. • There was a significant interaction between the treatment effect of ablation modality and type of peritumoral vessel on local tumor progression. • The type of peritumoral vessel is vital in choosing ablation modalities for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to investigate the predictive power of the combination of Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade in prognosis outcomes of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after thermal ablation. Materials and Methods This retrospective study was reviewed and approved by our institutional review board, and written informed consent was obtained from each patient. According to the Milan criteria, a total of 405 treatment-naïve patients with clinicopathologically confirmed HCC were enrolled who subsequently underwent thermal ablation from 2011 to 2016. The outcomes of overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were statistically analyzed. Results The median follow-up time of this study was 45.1 months (range, 1.3-83.2 months). After thermal ablation in patients with SII-ALBI Grades 1, 2, and 3, the cumulative 5-year OS rates were 81.7%, 63.2%, and 26.9%; the 5-year CSS rates were 82.4%, 67.5%, and 26.9%; and the 5-year RFS rates were 49.3%, 44.6%, and 25.3%, respectively (all P < 0.001). On multivariate Cox regression analyses, SII-ALBI was independently associated with the three outcomes after adjustment for various confounders (all P < 0.05). In addition, SII-ALBI played a predictive role in OS, CSS, and RFS for patients with negative alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (P < 0.05). Compared with SII and ALBI, the AUCs for the prediction of OS and CSS using SII-ALBI were superior to single indicator (bothP < 0.05). Conclusion Elevated preablation SII-ALBI is associated with shorter OS, CSS, and RFS in patients with early-stage HCC. Our indicator showed the potential to be a supplement tool for patients with negative AFP during follow-up.

Abstract
Objectives Compared with nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM), microwave ablation (MWA) is one relatively new modality indicated for selected breast cancer with nipple sparing and with little of evidence-based medical research for decision-making. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA and NSM for breast cancer. Materials and Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a single institution from 2014 to 2020. Women with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast ≤ 5cm treated by MWA or NSM were enrolled. The primary end point was tumor progression and secondary end points included survival, cosmetic results, and complications. Results 21 patients in the MWA group and 43 in the NSM group were evaluated. The mean tumor size was 2.3 cm (range, 0.3-5.0 cm). Median follow-up was 26.7 months (range, 14.6-62.5 months). The mean age of MWA was 24 years older than that of the NSM group. All the patients achieved technique effectiveness. One local tumor progression and one ipsilateral breast recurrence occurred at 42 and 28 months after MWA, respectively. One ipsilateral breast recurrence and two bone metastasis occurred at 31.2, 34, and 30.5 months after NSM. Two groups had no significant difference in tumor progression (P = 0.16). No participants in both groups developed cancer related death (P > 0.99) and major complications (P > 0.99). However, MWA needed less hospitalization time (P < 0.001) and achieved better cosmetic results (P < 0.001). Conclusions MWA achieved similar short term effect for breast cancer control and better cosmetic satisfaction compared with NSM in selected patients. MWA provides appropriate option for elderly patients who are unfit for surgery.

Abstract
Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a notable threat to the longevity of elderly people. However, there is no trial to study the prognosis of these elderly patients after microwave ablation (MWA) treatment. This study investigated whether elderly patients with HCC benefit from MWA similar to younger patients.Materials and methods: Patients who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA were included and divided into four age groups and the prognosis was compared. The senior group (Group S, ≥75 years) was then compared with the younger group (Group Y, <75 years) after a 1:1 propensity score matching was applied. The prognostic outcomes were evaluated and Cox analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with survival.Results: The four age groups showed a statistically different distribution in terms of sex, size of liver nodules, and the Charlson comorbidity index. Although Group S had a higher Charlson comorbidity index, no significant differences were found between Group S and Group Y in the rates of complete ablation and major complications as well as overall survival and progression-free survival after matching. Cox analysis demonstrated that the size of tumors and Child Pugh grade rather than age or Charlson comorbidity index were significant prognostic factors for overall survival.Conclusion: The elderly patients with HCC, even though associated with more comorbidities, may achieve acceptable prognostic outcomes following MWA, which are not worse than their younger counterparts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the changes in the endemic situation of schistosomiasis in national surveillance sites of Hunan Province, so as to provide scientific basis for the development of the schistosomiasis elimination programme in the province. METHODS According to the requirements of the National Guidelines for Schistosomiasis Surveillance in China (2014 version), a total of 41 national schistosomiasis surveillance sites were assigned in all disease-endemic counties (districts) across Hunan Province. During the period between 2015 and 2019, Schistosoma japonicum infections were monitored in local residents, mobile populations and livestock, and snail status was monitored. The morbidity due to schistosomiasis and snail status was compared between years. RESULTS The sero-prevalence of S. japonicum infections was 2.57% and 1.56% in local residents and mobile populations in national surveillance sites of Hunan Province from 2015 to 2019, respectively, and the sero-prevalence appeared a tendency towards a decline over years. A higher sero-prevalence rate of S. japonicum infections was seen in men than in women (P < 0.01). During the 5-year study period, the sero-prevalence rate of human S. japonicum infections appeared a tendency towards a decline in the marshland, embankment, inner embankment and hilly types of endemic areas over years. There were 44 and 19 egg -positives detected in local residents and 5 and 1 egg-positives in mobile populations in 2015 and 2016 respectively. A total of 9 346 domestic animals were monitored from 2015 to 2019, and 6 egg-positives were detected in 2015 and 2016 (all were bovine). A total of 0.155 billion m2 settings were surveyed from 2015 to 2019, and the mean density of living snails appeared a tendency towards a decline over years, with a 45.79% reduction in 2019 as compared to 2015. However, no S. japonicum infections were identified in snails during the 5-year period. A total of 1 469 mixed snail samples were detected using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and 6 positive snail samples were identified in 2015 (one sample) and 2017 (5 samples). CONCLUSIONS The overall endemic situation of schistosomiasis appears a tendency towards a decline in Hunan Province, and the prevalence of S. japonicum infections is at a low level in humans and livestock; however, there is still a risk of schistosomiasis transmission. Improvements of health education, intensification of schistosomiasis examinations in mobile populations and reinforcement of the surveillance-response system is required to consolidate the achievements of schistosomiasis control in Hunan Province.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is the most common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and also an important factor affecting the survival and quality of life in patients after transplantation. Currently, immunosuppressive therapy is commonly used for GVHD, but the curative effect is not ideal. How to effectively prevent and treat GVHD is one of the difficulties to be solved urgently in the field of transplantation. In this paper, we summarize the latest progress in pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of GVHD with Chinese medicine (CM). We hope it will provide ideas and methods for exploring the mechanism and establishing a new comprehensive therapy for GVHD with CM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the construction and operation of the schistosomiasis diagnostic network platform in Hunan Province, so as to provide insights into the improvements of the schistosomiasis diagnostic network laboratory system in the province. METHODS According to the criteria and requirements for the construction of the county-level schistosomiasis diagnostic network laboratory in China, the establishment and operation of the laboratory were assessed using self-assessment and field review in national schistosomiasis surveillance sites of Hunan Province. RESULTS A total of 41 county-level schistosomiasis diagnostic network laboratories were built in national schistosomiasis surveillance sites of Hunan Province, and 36 met the requirements for the construction of the national schistosomiasis diagnostic network laboratory in China, which were approved for inclusion in the province-level schistosomiasis diagnostic network laboratory. During the six inter-laboratory comparisons performed by the national schistosomiasis diagnostic reference center of China, full consistency was achieved by 3 county-level schistosomiasis diagnostic network laboratories in Hunan Province, and the coincidence rates for re-review of serological and pathogenic detection samples were 98.40% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The county-level schistosomiasis diagnostic network laboratory system has been preliminarily built and under effective operation in Hunan Province; however, the building capability remains to be improved.

Abstract
Purpose To compare overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between microwave ablation (MWA) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) smaller than 5 cm. Methods Patients with solitary HCC smaller than 5cm who initially underwent MWA or TACE were identified in Chinese PLA General Hospital from June 2010 to October 2015. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed with a 1:1 matching protocol. OS and PFS were compared by using the log-rank test. After matching, subgroup analysis based on tumor size (≤3cm/3.1–5cm) was also conducted. Prognostic factors for OS and PFS were assessed with Cox proportional hazard regression model. Results A total of 202 patients (MWA, n=120; TACE, n=82) were identified. After matching, 116 patients were included (58 patients for each treatment group). MWA provided significantly better OS and PFS than TACE for both the entire cohort (OS, P<0.001; PFS, P<0.001) and the matched cohort (OS, P=0.015; PFS, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that among patients with tumor of 3cm or less, the MWA group had significantly better OS (P=0.027) and PFS (P=0.008) than the TACE group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed TACE was associated with worse OS (hazard ratio, 2.385; 95% CI: 1.427, 3.985; P=0.001) and PFS (hazard ratio, 2.567; 95% CI: 1.820, 3.622; P<0.001). Conclusion MWA outperformed TACE for solitary HCC smaller than 5cm in OS and PFS. For single tumors less than 5cm, especially those smaller ones (≤3cm), priority should be given to MWA when making treatment options between MWA and TACE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential efficacy of panaxadiol saponins component (PDS-C) in the treatment of aplastic anemia (AA) model mice. METHODS Totally 70 mice were divided into 7 groups as follows: normal, model, low-, medium-, high-dose PDS-C (20, 40, 80 mg/kg, namely L-, M-, H-PDS-C), cyclosporine (40 mg/kg), and andriol (25 mg/kg) groups, respectively. An immune-mediated AA mouse model was established in BALB/c mice by exposing to 5.0 Gy total body irradiation at 1.0 Gy/min, and injecting with lymphocytes from DBA mice. On day 4 after establishment of AA model, all drugs were intragastrically administered daily for 15 days, respectively, while the mice in the normal and model groups were administered with saline solution. After treatment, the peripheral blood counts, bone marrow pathological examination, colony forming assay of bone marrow culture, T lymphocyte subpopulation analysis, as well as T-bet, GATA-3 and FoxP3 proteins were detected by flow cytometry and Western blot. RESULTS The peripheral blood of white blood cell (WBC), platelet, neutrophil counts and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration were significantly decreased in the model group compared with the normal group (all P<0.01). In response to 3 dose PDS-C treatment, the WBC, platelet, neutrophil counts were significantly increased at a dose-dependent manner compared with the model group (all P<0.01). The myelosuppression status of AA was significantly reduced in M-, H-PDS-C groups, and hematopoietic cell quantity of bone marrow was more abundant than the model group. The colony numbers of myeloid, erythroid and megakaryocytic progenitor cells in the model group were less than those of the normal mice in bone marrow culture, while, PDS-C therapy enhanced proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells by significantly increasing colony numbers (all P<0.01). Furthermore, PDS-C therapy increased peripheral blood CD3+ and CD3+CD4+ cells and reduced CD3+CD8+ cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Meanwhile, PDS-C treatment at medium- and high doses groups also increased CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ cells, downregulated T-bet protein expression, and upregulated GATA-3 and FoxP3 protein expressions in spleen cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSION PDS-C possesses dual activities, promoting proliferation hematopoietic progenitor cells and modulating T lymphocyte immune functions in the treatment of AA model mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To preliminarily evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and feasibility of microwave ablation (MWA) for substernal goiter (SSG) in select patients and to provide a relevant treatment reference for further studies. METHODS From April 2017 to December 2017, 10 patients with SSG were treated by MWA. All patients were followed for at least 3 months to observe the therapeutic effects and complications. Therapeutic effects were assessed at follow-up for the relief of patients' symptoms, resolution of the cosmetic grade, and volume reduction rate (VRR) of SSG. Possibly related factors for the 3-month VRR of the nodules were analyzed. RESULTS The study included 9 female patients and 1 male patient with a mean age ± SD of 56.8 ± 10.1 years (range, 34-70 years). The mean volume of the nodules was 52.9 ± 27.9 mL (range, 23.7-122.6 mL). The nodule volume was significantly reduced at the 3-month follow-up (17.5 ± 9.5 mL; P < .05). The mean 3-month VRR of the index nodule was 66.7% ± 7.1%. A higher ablated portion-to-nodule ratio 1 day after MWA predicted a higher 3-month VRR (Spearman r = 0.646; P = .044). The mean symptom score (from 4.5 ± 1.7 to 1.5 ± 1.0; P = .005) and cosmetic grade (from 3.3 ± 0.5 to 2.2 ± 0.4; P = .004) declined significantly 3 months after the procedure. No complications or unexpected side effects were observed. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary results support the effectiveness and safety of MWA for local control of SSG. This technology can be applied in select patients with SSG who are ineligible for surgery.

Abstract
Objective Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease. Despite advances in the study of its pathogenesis, the exact development mechanism of psoriasis remains to be fully elucidated. Hyperproliferative epidermis plays a crucial role in psoriasis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of interleukin-36β (IL-36β) on keratinocyte dysfunction in vitro. Methods Human keratinocyte cell lines, HaCaT cells, were treated with 0 (control), 50 or 100 ng/ml IL-36β respectively for 24 h. Cell viability was determined with a cell counting kit-8 assay. Flow cytometry was used to assess the effects of IL-36β on apoptosis and cell cycle distribution. Expressions of the differentiation markers, such as keratin 10 and involucrin, were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Expressions of the inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and IL-6 were tested by ELISA. Results CCK8 assay showed the survival rate had no significant difference between the control and treated group (P > 0.05). Flow cytometry analysis showed cell cycle arrest at S phase in the IL-36β-treated groups compared with the control group (P < 0.05). RT-qPCR verified the decreased mRNA expressions of keratin 10 and involucrin in the IL-36β-treated groups compared with the negative control (P < 0.01). ELISA showed 100 ng/ml IL-36β enhanced levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in culture supernatants of HaCaT cells compared with the negative control (P < 0.05). Conclusion Taken together, these findings suggest that IL-36β could induce cell cycle arrest at S phase, inhibit keratin 10 and involucrin expressions and promote inflammatory activity in HaCaT cell lines.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of ablation strategies on local tumor progression (LTP) after microwave ablation (MWA) of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) measuring 3-5 cm. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between December 2011 and May 2017, 71 HCC patients with 71 nodules treated by ultrasound(US)-guided percutaneous MWA were divided into parallel (group A) and crossed (group B) antenna placement groups. All patients underwent MWA using two antennas with four insertions. LTP and overall survival (OS) rates were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 16.8 months. There was no significant difference in the complete ablation rate and treatment sessions between the two groups. LTP was diagnosed in 8 of 48 nodules (16.7%) in group A and 1 of 23 nodules (4.3%) in group B, with no significant difference between two groups (P = 0.115). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates were 88.5%, 79%, and 71.8% in group A and 93.8%, 87.5%, and 87.5% in group B, respectively (P = 0.236). Multivariate analysis showed that the tumor diameter (P = 0.017), the distance between the antennas (P = 0.032), and the total emission time (P = 0.015) were associated with LTP. CONCLUSIONS There were trends with lower LTP and improved OS in group B, despite the lack of statistically significant differences between the two strategies at a level of P < 0.05. The increase of distance between antennas and total emission time will facilitate reductions in LTP rate.

Abstract
Psoriasis usually combines with metabolic diseases,and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease remarkably increases in psoriatic patients. Adipokines,which play an important role in the cardiovascular diseases,also express abnormally in psoriasis and may induce or exacerbate the skin lesion. The adipokines associated with psoriasis and cardiovascular disease include adiponectin,leptin,resistin,omentin,visfatin,chemerin,and retinoid binding protein 4 (RBP-4). The levels of adiponectin and omentin apparently decrease in psoriatic patients compared to healthy controls,and thus they may play protective roles for psoriasis. Similarly,adiponectin plays a protective role in cardiovascular disease,but the role of retina in cardiovascular disease is still controversial. However,the concentrations of leptin,resistin,visfatin,chemerin,and RBP-4 in patients with psoriasis or cardiovascular disease are significantly higher than those of the controls;therefore,they may serve as the pathogenic factors for both diseases. Low adiponectin,leptin,visfatin,and chemerin levels may induce or aggravate psoriasis by activating plasmacytoid dendritic cells or T cells,as demonstrated in in vitro experiments. However,in vitro experiments also have shown that visfatin may inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Abstract
Purpose: To develop a fusion imaging system that combines ultrasound and computed tomography for real-time tumor tracking and to validate the accuracy of performing registration via this approach during a specific breathing phase. Materials and Methods: The initial part of the experimental study was performed using iodized oil injection in pig livers and was focused on determining the accuracy of registration. Eight points (A1-4 and B1-4) at different positions and with different target sizes were selected as target points. During respiratory motion, we used our self-designed system to perform the procedure either with (experimental group, E) or without (control group, C) the respiratory monitoring module. The registration errors were then compared between the 2 groups and within group E. The second part of this study was designed as a preliminary clinical study and was performed in 18 patients. Screening was performed to determine the combination of points on the body surface that provided the highest sensitivity to respiratory motion. Registration was performed either with (group E) or without (group C) the respiratory monitoring module. Registration errors were compared between the 2 groups. Results: In part 1 of this study, there were fewer registration errors at each point in group E than at the corresponding points in group C (P < .01). In group E, there were more registration errors at points A1 and B1 than at the other points (P < .05). There was no significant difference in registration errors among the remaining points. During part 2 of the study, there was a significant difference in the registration errors between the 2 groups (P < .01). Conclusions: Real-time fusion registration is feasible and can be accurately performed during respiratory motions when using this system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CC-type glutaredoxins (GRXs) are plant-specific glutaredoxin, play regulatory roles in response of biotic and abiotic stress. However, it is not clear whether the CC-type GRXs are involve in drought response in cassava (Manihot esculenta), an important tropical tuber root crop. RESULTS Herein, genome-wide analysis identified 18 CC-type GRXs in the cassava genome, of which six (namely MeGRXC3, C4, C7, C14, C15, and C18) were induced by drought stress in leaves of two cassava cultivars Argentina 7 (Arg7) and South China 124 (SC124). Exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application induced the expression of all the six CC-type GRXs in leaves of both Arg7 and SC124 plants. Overexpression of MeGRXC15 in Arabidopsis (Col-0) increases tolerance of ABA on the sealed agar plates, but results in drought hypersensitivity in soil-grown plants. The results of microarray assays show that MeGRXC15 overexpression affected the expression of a set of transcription factors which involve in stress response, ABA, and JA/ET signalling pathway. The results of protein interaction analysis show that MeGRXC15 can interact with TGA5 from Arabidopsis and MeTGA074 from cassava. CONCLUSIONS CC-type glutaredoxins play regulatory roles in cassava response to drought possibly through ABA signalling pathway.
