Abstract
Influenza is a contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses, and the burden of severe disease is commonly seen in high risk populations. Influenza vaccination is an effective way to prevent influenza and its complications, especially for high risk populations. Although some countries have included influenza vaccine in their national immunization programs, influenza vaccination rates remain low globally in high risk populations. The influenza vaccine in China is still a non-immunization program vaccine that is voluntarily vaccinated at its own expense, and the influenza vaccine immunization strategy is different across the country. There is still a gap between the vaccination rate of the influenza vaccine and that of developed countries. It is an urgent problem to further optimize the whole population immunization strategy of influenza vaccine in China, strengthen the publicity of the whole population immunization strategy of influenza vaccine, and reduce the disease burden of influenza in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation and nutrition and depression are interrelated, and both are related to changes in mortality rates. We investigated the association of nutritional and inflammation index or depressive symptoms with the risk of all-cause mortality or cause-specific mortality among cancer survivors. METHODS A prospective cohort of a nationally representative sample of cancer survivors, aged 40 years or older (n = 2331; weighted population, 15 248 255; 67.6 ± 11.0 years; 50.6 % males), were recruited from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2018. Advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) reflected inflammation and nutritional status and Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) demonstrated depressive symptoms. The independent and joint associations of ALI and PHQ-9 score with mortality outcomes were examined among cancer survivors and Cox regression analysis based on weights was used to calculate the relative risk. RESULTS We identified 605 all-cause deaths (cancer, 204; non-cancer, 401) over a median of 6.2 years of follow-up (15,385 person-years; interquartile range, 3.3-9.8 years). High ALI was observed to be consistently associated with lower risks of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR], 0.516; 95 % CI, 0.400-0.667) and non-cancer (HR, 0.414; 95 % CI, 0.291-0.588) mortality compared with low ALI in a series of adjusted models. Meanwhile, lower PHQ-9 score (0-4) was associated with lower risks of all-cause (HR, 0.686; 95 % CI, 0.521-0.903) and non-cancer (HR, 0.686; 95 % CI, 0.474-0.992) mortality compared with higher PHQ-9 score (≥10). Furthermore, joint analyses showed that high ALI was associated with a decreased risk of death among cancer survivors who were not depressive. Specifically, survivors with high ALI but not depressive symptoms had the lowest overall (HR, 0.404; 95 % CI, 0.228-0.715) risks. CONCLUSION In this cohort study, we observed impact of nutritional and inflammatory status and depressive symptoms on mortality among cancer survivors, with the lowest risks of death from both all causes and non-cancer being noted among the combination of high level ALI with no depression.

Abstract
This article uses the "behavioural and social drivers of vaccination" model released by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022 to analyze influenza vaccine policy documents issued by the state and governments. This indicates that the current influenza vaccination policy in China has paid some attention to "publicity and mobilization", but it still pays insufficient attention to "vaccination convenience". It is recommended to continue to strengthen publicity and mobilization, explore ways to improve the convenience of vaccination, formulate corresponding plans to improve the convenience of vaccination, scientifically set vaccination rate targets, and encourage areas with conditions to carry out free vaccination projects for key populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the role of echocardiographic parameters in diagnosing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ninety preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks and a weight less than 1.5 kg, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital between January 2020 and January 2021, were selected for the study. The study subjects were divided into two groups: a BPD group (54 cases, observation group) and a non-BPD group (36 cases, control group). The correlation between tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity and BPD was investigated by detecting the cardiac function of preterm infants in both groups using a color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument and analyzing the cardiac ultrasound results. The early prediction efficiency of TR velocity (m/s) for BPD was evaluated using the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS The incidence of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The levels of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular shorting fraction (LVFS) were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence of patent foramen ovale (PFO), atrial septal defect (ASD), and ventricular septal defect (VSD) in the observation group were not significantly different from the control group (p > 0.05). The proportion of tricuspid regurgitation in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the TR velocity was significantly higher than that in the control group. The Spearman correlation analysis showed that TR velocity (m/s) was positively correlated to BPD severity (r = 0.379, p < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting BPD with TR velocity was 0.735. The sensitivity and specificity were 88.0% and 62.6%, respectively, when the TR velocity was 1.45 m/s. CONCLUSIONS Echocardiography is useful for understanding the degree of impaired cardiac function in preterm infants and for early detection of PH, which may reduce the mortality rate to a certain extent. The risk of BPD is significantly increased when TR velocity is higher than 1.45 m/s.

Abstract
Vaccination is the most cost-effective measure to prevent infectious diseases in both children and adults. At present, the global burden of infectious diseases in adults is still heavy. With the continuous development and improvement of vaccines, vaccination has shown great potential to prevent infectious diseases, further reduce the morbidity and mortality of infectious diseases in adults and improve people's life quality. This article summarizes the current status of adult immunization, immunization strategies of representative countries, different adult vaccination strategies, and the advantages and challenges of adult immunization to provide reference for further exploring adult immunization strategies and improving adult vaccination recommendations. More attention should be paid to the immunization strategies for different adult populations, and effective measures should be taken to improve the vaccination coverage for the better protection of people's life and health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Whether the intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is beneficial for ovarian cancer (OC) remains controversial and we hope to disentangle this puzzle using genetic data from large-scale populations in European and Asian. METHODS We employed, for the first time, a systematic Mendelian randomization (MR) design to comprehensively evaluate the causal effect of plasma DHA levels, an objective biomarker of DHA intake, on OC risk in European and then verified the extrapolation of the results in the Asian. Data in the analysis included genetic association data obtained from large-scale genome-wide association studies with 13,499 individuals for plasma DHA measurements and 66,450 individuals for OC in the European population, and 1361 individuals for plasma DHA measurements and 61,457 individuals for OC in the Asian population. The causal relationship between DHA and OC was estimated using the inverse-variance weighted approach, together with extensive validation and sensitivity analyses to verify the main results. RESULTS In the European population, MR evidence suggested a causal relationship between higher plasma DHA levels and lower OC risk (OR, 0.89 for OC per one-SD increment in DHA; 95% CI, 0.83 to 0.96; P = 0.003). Subgroup analysis by histological type of OC indicated that this observed association was stronger among endometrioid ovarian cancer (EOC) (OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.96; P = 0.014). A similar causal association of borderline significance was reached in the Asian replication set. The above results were consistently supported by a series of validation and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION Our study provided robust genetic evidence for a protective association between plasma DHA levels and lower risk of OC, especially EOC, in the European population. These findings may inform prevention strategies and interventions directed towards DHA intake and OC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observational studies have demonstrated that basal metabolic rate (BMR) is associated with the risk of endometrial cancer (EC) and ovarian cancer (OC). However, it is unclear whether these associations reflect a causal relationship. OBJECTIVE To reveal the causality between BMR and EC and OC, we performed the first comprehensive two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. METHODS Genetic variants were used as proxies of BMR. GWAS summary statistics of BMR, EC and OC were obtained from the UK Biobank Consortium, Endometrial Cancer Association Consortium and Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium respectively. The inverse variance weighted method was employed as the main approach for MR analysis. A series of sensitivity analyses were implemented to validate the robustness and reliability of the results. RESULTS BMR was significantly related to an increased risk of EC (ORSD = 1.49; 95% CI: 1.29-1.72; p-Value < .001) and OC (ORSD = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.08-1.35; p-Value < .001). Furthermore, the stratified analysis indicated that BMR was positively associated with endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) (ORSD = 1.45; 95% CI, 1.23-1.70; p-Value < .001), clear cell ovarian cancer(CCOC) (ORSD = 1.89; 95% CI:1.35-2.64; p-Value < .001) and endometrioid ovarian cancer risk (EOC) (ORSD = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.12-1.88; p-Value = .005). However, there were no significant associations of BMR with invasive mucinous ovarian cancer (IMOC), high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC). The robustness of the above results was further verified in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION The MR study provided etiological evidence for the positive association of BMR with the risk of EC, EEC, OC, CCOC and EOC. But this study did not provide enough evidence suggesting the causal associations of BMR with IMOC, HGSOC and LGSOC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative cancer pain imposes severe physical and psychological problems. We aimed to investigate the pain experiences of patients with cancer after surgery, analyze the impact of infusion volume by patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), and explore the variations between day 1 and day 2. METHODS Data were retrospectively extracted from a large health data platform. Descriptive statistics were presented for the demographic and clinical profiles of patients. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate associations between intensity of pain and PCA use after adjustment for risk factors. RESULTS Among 11,383 patients with cancer, the incidence of pain (moderate to severe pain) was 93.3% (18.3%) at the first 24 h after operation, while the respect values decreased to 91.1% and 9.5% at the second 24 h. Further, female patients consistently experienced higher risk of pain over the whole 48 h postoperatively. Surgical sites were related to pain risk, with the highest risk among the respiratory system (OR 2.077, 95% CI 1.392-3.100). High doses of continuous volume (OR 2.453, 95% CI 1.742-3.456) and total volume (OR 2.830, 95% CI 2.037-3.934) of infusions were related to 1-3-fold elevated pain risk. Additionally, the observed associations were mostly repeated and could be up to over 10 times when pain was evaluated with number of PCA pump compressions instead of Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). CONCLUSIONS High risk of postoperative cancer pain, particularly among the high PCA dose group, could possibly indicate inadequate pain control, and presence of modifiable risk factors warrants more aggressive pain management strategies perioperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A fundamental principle of pain management is to determine the distribution and causes of pain. However, relevant data among postoperative cancer patients based on a large amount of data remain sparse. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the incidence of postoperative pain in cancer patients and to explore the associated risk factors. METHODS We retrospectively collected information on postoperative pain-evaluation records of cancer patients who underwent surgery between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2019. Descriptive statistics were presented, and multinominal logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the risk factors associated with postoperative pain. RESULTS Among the 11,383 patients included in the study, the incidence of mild/moderate to severe pain at the 24th hour after surgery was 74.9% and 18.3%, respectively. At the 48th and 72nd hour after surgery, the incidence of mild pain increased slightly, while the incidence of moderate to severe pain continued to decrease. Female patients experienced a higher risk of pain (ORs: 1.37-1.58). Undergoing endoscopic surgery was associated with a higher risk of pain (ORs: 1.40-1.56). Patients with surgical sites located in the respiratory system had a higher risk of pain compared to in the digestive system (ORs: 1.35-2.13), and other patients had a relatively lower risk of pain (ORs: 0.11-0.61). CONCLUSION The majority of cancer patients experienced varying degrees of postoperative pain but may not receive adequate attention and timely treatment. Female, young age and endoscopic surgery were associated with increased pain risk, and effective identification of these high-risk groups had positive implications for enhanced postoperative pain management.

Abstract
This article reviews the relevant studies on the efficacy and safety of influenza, pneumococcal and COVID-19 vaccination among tumor patients worldwide in recent years. By combing and analyzing the retrieved literature, the results show that influenza and pneumococcal vaccination can significantly reduce the morbidity and hospitalization rate of infectious diseases in tumor patients, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and death, and significantly improve survival prognosis. COVID-19 vaccination can also protect tumor patients, especially those who have completed full dose vaccination. Authoritative guidelines and consensuses worldwide all recommend that tumor patients receive influenza, pneumococcal and COVID-19 vaccines. We should carry out relevant researches, as well as take effective measures to strengthen patient education, so that tumor patients can fully experience the health protection brought by the vaccine to this specific group.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of exposure of pregnant rats to radio frequency electromagnetic field on the ultrastructure of hippocampus and the levels of obesity related protein (FTO) and nerve growth factor (NGF) in offspring rats. Methods: In September 2019, 36 healthy 7-week-old Wistar rats were selected, including 24 female rats (150-200 g) and 12 male rats (200-250 g) . The male and female mice were mated in the cage at 2: 1 ratio at 18: 00 every night. The smear results showed that the sperm was positive and the mating was successful. The day was regarded as the 0 day of pregnancy. Pregnant rats were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups and 3 control groups, with 4 rats in each group. The experimental group was exposed to 1 800 MHz, Wi-Fi and 1 800 MHz+Wi-Fi respectively, and the three control groups were exposed to virtual exposure. 12 hours a day for 21 days in three batches. After the end of exposure, the offspring of each group were raised for 7 weeks. The ultrastructural changes of the hippocampus were observed by transmission electron microscopy, the FTO level in the hippocampus was determined by Western blot, and the NGF level in the brain tissue was determined by ELISA. Results: Transmission electron microscopy showed that the nuclei of hippocampal tissue of female and male rats in the 1800 MHz group were slightly contracted, the cytoplasm was slightly edema, and the nuclei of male rats were obviously irregular. In the offspring of male and female rats in the Wi-Fi group, the nucleus of hippocampal tissue contracted seriously, the cell membrane was irregular, and the cytoplasm appeared obvious edema. In the 1800 MHz+Wi-Fi group, the nuclei of hippocampal tissue of both male and female offspring rats were severely contracted, the nuclear membrane was irregular, and the cytoplasm was severely edema. there was no significant difference in FTO level among the groups (P>0.05) . Compared with other groups, NGF content in hippocampus of offspring rats in the 1800 MHz+Wi-Fi group was significantly higher (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields will damage the morphological structure of hippocampal tissue of offspring and stimulate the increase of NGF expression in the hippocampus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Synergism between the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) components and cancer incidence still remains inconclusive. We aimed to investigate the unique or joint role of MetSyn components in cancer onset. DESIGN We conducted a prospective nested case-control study based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. SETTING An ongoing national representative longitudinal study included follow-up survey of people aged 45 years and older and their partners living in private households in China. PARTICIPANTS There were 17 708 individuals included at baseline. A total of 306 incident cancers was identified during the follow-up. For every case, we used incidence-density sampling to match three concurrent cancer-free controls by age, sex, and both duration and calendar time of follow-up. Exposure of interest was any MetSyn diagnosis at baseline. RESULTS We observed elevation in cancer risk associated with MetSyn in a significant way when the number of MetSyn components was over three (OR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.19 to 2.97), or when components contained any of elevated triglycerides (OR: 1.61; 95% CI: 1.05 to 2.48), reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (OR: 2.33; 95% CI: 1.40 to 3.86) or elevated blood pressure (OR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.59) after consistent multiple adjustments in different models. The highest cancer risk was in the female reproductive system and breast cancer (OR: 4.22; 95% CI: 1.62 to 10.95) followed by digestive system (OR: 1.67; 95% CI: 1.11 to 2.53). Sensitivity analyses showed similar results after first follow-up was excluded. However, any unique MetSyn component was not associated with increased cancer risk. Interestingly, the reduced HDL was observed to be widely associated with over twofold increased risk of cancer, only when together with other MetSyn components. CONCLUSION MetSyn components, in a collaborative manner rather than its unique component, were associated with elevated cancer risk. Not only obesity but even subtle metabolic disturbances may give rise to cancer.

Abstract
A comprehensive review of the research of the effectiveness of influenza vaccine and 23 valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) both at home and abroad in recent years showed that influenza vaccine and PPV23 immunization can significantly reduce the risk for influenza and pneumonia in COPD patients, and reduce the acute exacerbation of disease and related hospitalization. In particular, the influenza vaccination can also reduce the risk for ischemic heart disease, acute coronary syndrome, ventricular arrhythmia, lung cancer, dementia and death in the patients, and the immunization of both vaccines has a more significant protective effect. It is recommended by authoritative guidelines both at home and abroad that COPD patients can receive influenza vaccine and PPV23. At present, the coverage of domestic influenza and pneumococcal vaccines are low, and there are less studies in the applications of both vaccines in patients with COPD. Effective measures should be taken to strengthen the health education and increase the vaccination coverage. Additionally, the clinical research of influenza vaccine and PPV23 for COPD patients, especially the analysis on clinical benefit of immunization of both vaccines, should be further strengthened to effectively improve the survival and prognosis of COPD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological evidence about hormone replacement therapy and colorectal carcinogenesis by demographic and clinical traits remains unclear. We aimed to assess this postulated association in a large multicentre study and further explore the modification effect by BMI and others. METHODS We retrospectively collected records of women diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) at the age of 50 years and older during 2014-2017 and their HRT dispensing prior to CRC diagnosis in three tertiary hospitals in China. CRC cases were matched with controls at a ratio of 1:3 using nearest neighbour propensity scores matching to better control for the remaining imbalance between groups, which generated a total of 824 cases with 2472 controls. RESULTS Our study confirmed the inversed association between colorectal cancer risk and hormone replacement therapy (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.54-0.75), which was more prominent among women having multiple HRT dispenses (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.52-0.76). Furthermore, significant associations were consistently observed for the short-term (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.57-0.88), middle-term (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.41-0.66), and long-term HRT users (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.43-0.90). Estrogen-related regimen reduced CRC risk more than progestogen-only. We, for the first time, found that the modifying effect of BMI on HRT use and CRC risk was in different ways when BMI was categorized by a medium level of 27. CONCLUSION Our findings mainly suggest that there might be a different mechanism for the reversed association between HRT and colorectal tumorigenesis by BMI level, providing thoughts on clinical treatment of CRC.

Abstract
The aim of the current systematic review was to summarize and to evaluate the available information on the effectiveness of oral exercise in improving the masticatory function of people ≥18 y. Electronic databases (Medline, Embase, CENTRAL) and gray literatures were searched (up to December 2020) for relevant randomized and nonrandomized controlled clinical trials. Two reviewers independently conducted the study selection, data extraction, and quality assessments. Meta-analysis was conducted for the comparison of bite force and masticatory performance using mean difference (MD) and standardized mean difference (SMD), respectively. GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) assessment was adopted for collective grading of the overall body of evidence. Of the 1,576 records identified, 18 studies (21 articles) were included in the analysis. Results of meta-analysis indicated that oral exercise could significantly improve the mean bite force of the participants (parallel comparison: MD, 41.2; 95% CI, 11.6-70.7, P = 0.006; longitudinal comparison: MD, 126.5; 95% CI, 105.2-144.9, P < 0.001). However, the improvement in masticatory performance was not significant (parallel comparison: SMD, 0.11; 95% CI, -0.20 to 0.42, P = 0.48; longitudinal comparison: SMD, 0.4; 95% CI, -0.11 to 0.91, P = 0.13). Results of meta-regression showed that greater improvements in bite force can be achieved among younger adults and with more intensive exercise. Chewing exercise is the most effective oral exercise, followed by clenching exercise, while simple oral exercise may not have a significant effect. Based on the results of the meta-analysis and GRADE assessment, a weak recommendation for people with declined masticatory function to practice oral exercise is made.

Abstract
Background There have been many studies about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the clinical significance of quantitative serum severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific IgM and IgG levels of COVID-19 patients have not been exhaustively analyzed. We aimed to investigate the time profiles of these IgM/IgG levels in COVID-19 patients and their correlations with clinical features. Methods A multicenter clinical study was conducted from February 20 to March 5 2020. It involved 179 COVID-19 patients (108 males and 71 females) from five hospitals in Huangshi in Hubei Province, China. To detect SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM/IgG, quantitative antibody assays (two-step indirect immunoassays with direct chemiluminescence technology) based on the nucleocapsid protein (NP) and spike protein 1 (S1) were used. For normally distributed data, means were compared using the t-test, χ 2-test, or exact probability method. For categorical data, medians were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Results The median age was 57 (44-69) years (58 [38-69] for males and 57 [49-68] for females). The median duration of positive nucleic acid test was 22.32 (17.34-27.43) days. The mortality rate was relatively low (3/179, 1.68%). Serum SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG was detected around week 1 after illness onset, gradually increased until peaking in weeks 4 and 5, and then declined. Serum IgM peaked in weeks 2 and 3, then gradually declined and returned to its normal range by week 7 in all patients. Notably, children had milder respiratory symptoms with lower SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM/IgG levels. The duration of positive nucleic acid test in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) group was 30.36 (18.99-34.76) days, which was significantly longer than that in the non-COPD group (21.52 [16.75-26.51] days; P = 0.025). The peak serum SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG was significantly positively correlated with the duration of positive nucleic acid test. The incidence rate of severe and critical cases in the IgMhi group (using the median IgM level of 29.95 AU/mL as the cutoff for grouping) was about 38.0% (19/50), which was twice as much as that in the IgMlo group (18.4%; 9/49). The patients with positive chest imaging and lymphocytopenia (<1 × 109/L) had a higher SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM level. Conclusions Quantitative SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM and IgG levels are helpful for the diagnosis, severity classification, and management of COVID-19 patients, and they should be monitored in each stage of this disease.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety of two inactivated COVID-19 vaccines in a large-scale emergency use. Methods: Based on the "Vaccination Information Collection System", the incidence data of adverse reactions in the population vaccinated with the inactivated COVID-19 vaccines developed by Beijing Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd and Wuhan Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd, respectively, in emergency use were collected, and the relevant information were analyzed with descriptive epidemiological and statistical methods. Results: By December 1, 2020, the vaccination information of 519 543 individuals had been collected. The overall incidence rate of adverse reactions was 1.06%, the incidence rate of systemic adverse reactions was 0.69% and the incidence rate of local adverse reactions was 0.37%. The main systemic adverse reactions included fatigue, headache, fever, cough and loss of appetite with the incidence rates of 0.21%, 0.14%, 0.06%, 0.05% and 0.05%, respectively; the main local adverse reactions were injection site pain and injection site swelling with the incidence rates of 0.24% and 0.05%, respectively. Conclusion: The two inactivated COVID-19 vaccines by Beijing Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd and Wuhan Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd showed that in the large-scale emergency use, the incidence rate of general reactions was low and no serious adverse reactions were observed after the vaccinations, demonstrating that the vaccines have good safety.

Abstract
Purpose The prevalence of multi-morbidities with colorectal cancer (CRC) is known to be increasing. Particularly prognosis of CRC patients co-diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) was largely unknown. We aimed to examine the death risk of CRC patients according to the multiple MetSyn morbidities. Materials and Methods We identified CRC patients with MetSyn from the electronic medical records (EMR) systems in five independent hospitals during 2006–2011. Information on deaths was jointly retrieved from EMR, cause of death registry and chronic disease surveillance as well as study-specific questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the overall and CRC-specific hazards ratios (HR) comparing MetSyn CRC cohort with reference CRC cohort. Results A total of 682 CRC patients in MetSyn CRC cohort were identified from 24 months before CRC diagnosis to 1 month after. During a median follow-up of 92 months, we totally observed 584 deaths from CRC, 245 being in MetSyn cohort and 339 in reference cohort. Overall, MetSyn CRC cohort had an elevated risk of CRC-specific mortality (HR, 1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07 to 1.90) and overall mortality (HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.84) compared to reference cohort after multiple adjustment. Stratified analyses showed higher mortality risk among women (HR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.04 to 2.27) and specific components of MetSyn. Notably, the number of MetSyn components was observed to be significantly related to CRC prognosis. Conclusion Our findings supported that multi-morbidities of MetSyn associated with elevated death risk after CRC. MetSyn should be considered as an integrated medical condition more than its components in CRC prognostic management.

Abstract
Muscle-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (MIBC) is a highly invasive cancer, which leads to prevalent recurrence and poor prognosis. Exploring the association of DNA methylation and the prognosis of MIBC will thus be of important value in clinical management and treatment. Bumphunter method and adaptive lasso regression were used to explore the relationship between different methylation regions (DMRs) and the prognosis of MIBC. Next, we constructed a risk prognosis model and validated this model. Moreover, the performance of this risk model was examined by using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). We identified 58,449 different methylation sites and 490 different methylation regions. Among them, 11 DMRs were associated with the prognosis of MIBC through rigorous screening. Through the linear combination of 11 DMRs, a putative marker was developed, which can distinguish the survival risk in both the training dataset (HR = 2.58, 95% CI = (1.64, 4.05)) and the verification dataset (HR = 2.77, 95% CI = (1.25, 6.15)). Relatively high predictive values were observed from this model for training dataset (AUC = 0.791) and verification dataset (AUC = 0.668). Stratified analysis showed that the association was independent of gender. A nomogram was additionally generated to predict 5-year survival probability containing risk score and pathological stage. Its performance was evaluated by applying calibration curve. The methylation signature risk model based on 11 DMRs may be a reliable prognostic signature for MIBC, which provides new insights into development of individualized therapy for MIBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gene mutations have been implicated in DCM. However, due to the difficulty of clinical genetic diagnosis, more causal genes potentially related to DCM remain to be discovered.
Methods
We screened for gene mutations in more than 400 cases from families with hereditary cardiovascular disease using whole-exome sequencing. Then we validated biological functions of CHMP4C mutations in zebrafish models. To further assess the mechanism of CHMP4C mutations, we evaluated the potential signaling pathway in the cells.
Results
We identification of CHMP4C variants that segregated with DCM variants in four families from a total of 411 families via whole-exome sequencing. We further validate the function of CHMP4C in heart function in zebrafish models and found that over-expression of CHMP4C variants in zebrafish resulted in cardiac malformation, pericardial edema and increased heart rate, consistent with CHMP4C mutation-associated findings in DCM patients. Furthermore, we found that mutations in CHMP4C impaired autophagy and activated apoptosis in HEK293T cells, suggesting that the molecular mechanism of CHMP4C is involved in heart development.
Conclusions
CHMP4C is a novel candidate gene for DCM and may play a critical role in cardiac development by regulating autophagy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Non-invasive left ventricular (LV) pressure-strain loops (PSLs) which generated by combining LV longitudinal strain with brachial artery blood pressure, provide a novel method of quantifying global and segmental myocardial work (MW) indices with potential advantages over conventional echocardiographic strain which is load-dependent. The method has been introduced in echocardiographic software recently, making MW calculations more effectively and rapidly. The aim was to evaluate the role of non-invasive MW indices derived from LV PSLs in the prediction of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response.
Methods
106 heart failure (HF) patients scheduled for CRT were included for MW analysis. Global and segmental (septal and lateral at the mid-ventricular level) MW indices were accessed before CRT. Response to CRT was defined as ≥15% reduction in LV end-systolic volume at 6-month follow-up in comparison with baseline value.
Results
CRT response was observed in 78 (74%) patients. At baseline, global work index (GWI) and global constructive work (GCW) were significant higher in CRT responders than in non-responders (both P<0.05). Besides, responders exhibited a significantly higher Mid Lateral MW and Mid Lateral constructive work (CW) (both P<0.001) but a significantly lower Mid Septal MW and Mid Septal myocardial work efficiency (MWE), as well as a significantly higher Mid Septal wasted work (WW) than non-responders (all P<0.01). Baseline Mid Septal MWE (OR 0.975, 95% CI 0.959–0.990, P=0.002) and Mid Lateral MW (OR 1.003, 95% CI 1.002–1.004, P<0.001) were identified as independent predictors of CRT response in multivariate regression analysis. Mid Septal MWE ≤42% combined with Mid Lateral MW ≥740 mm Hg% predicted CRT response with the optimal sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 82% (AUC = 0.830, P<0.001).
Conclusion
Mid Septal MWE and Mid Lateral MW can successfully predict response to CRT, and their combination can further improve the prediction accuracy. Assessment of MW indices before CRT could identify the marked misbalance in LV myocardial work distribution and has the potential to be widely used as a reliable complementary tool for guiding patient selection in clinical practice.

Abstract
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms are thought to be involved in the development of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P), but published results are contradictory. We therefore designed an updated meta-analysis to pool eligible studies and to evaluate further the possible relations between MTHFR polymorphisms (c.677C>T and c.1298A>C) and susceptibility to NSCL/P. A comprehensive search based on PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases was made up to February 2018. Twenty-three case-control and 10 case-parent trio studies (including 1149 cases and 1161 controls) were retrieved. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI were used to estimate the pooled strength of association under different genetic models. The Q test and I2 test were used to estimate heterogeneity among studies, the quality of which was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. In the MTHFR c.677C>T polymorphism group, there were significant overall results for the recessive (OR 1.231, 95%CI 1.092 to 1.387) and homozygote (OR 1.252, 95%CI 1.078 to 1.456) models. Subgroup analysis by subjects and ethnicity identified only associations in European mothers for the recessive model and the homozygote model. For the c.1298A>C group, there were no significant results for either European or Asian patients for all genetic models. The MTHFR c.677C>T polymorphism might increase susceptibility to NSCL/P in European mothers, but was negatively associated in Asian patients, and the MTHFR c.1298A>C polymorphism is not involved in the development of NSCL/P in either European or Asian patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The etiology of bicuspid aortic valve disease (BAVD) is still unclear. Recent studies have demonstrated elevated prevalence of genetic defects in BAV patients with root phenotype, which includes aortic regurgitation and root-predominant dilatation.
Purpose
The present study intended to illustrate the feature of genetic defects among early-onset BAV patients with isolated severe aortic regurgitation.
Methods
From June 2015 to December 2017, whole exome sequencing was performed upon 27 BAVD patients with isolated severe aortic regurgitation under 45 years in our institution. Patients were categorized into right-left (R-L, n=16) and non-RL (n=11) cusp fusion types, and those with complex cardiac defects were excluded from the present study.
Results
Among 27 patients with a median age of 30.5 (18–44) years, only one was female with a rare left-non-coronary cusp fusion type. The prevalence of root phenotype was markedly higher in RL patients (56.3% vs 9.1%, p=0.018). In RL patients, the numbers of rare genetic variants (RGVs) were 15 in extracellular matrix genes, 8 in TGF-β signaling pathway genes, 2 in smooth muscle cell contraction apparatus genes, and 3 in familiar BAV related genes. In non-RL patients, the number of RGVs were 15, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. On the other hand, the number of RGVs in above gene clusters were 9, 6, 3, 2 in patients with a root phenotype, and 21, 5, 3, 6 in those without. Eight recurrent genetic variants were identified in 6 genes (see Table). An interesting observation was that ADAMTS2 variants were exclusively found among non-RL patients without root phenotype, as FBN2 variants among RL patients with root phenoype.

Conclusion
Recurrent genetic variants could be identified in a cohort of early-onset BAVD patients with isolated severe aortic regurgitation and staggering male predominance. The incidence and clinical relevance of these variants should be validated in an extended real-world BAV cohort.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
A new technique has been devised to treat mitral regurgitation (MR) through the transapical route by replicating the edge-to-edge repair surgery. This system encompasses an easy-to-use leaflet clamp and a smaller-sized delivery system (14F–16F). We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this device in a porcine model of acute MR.
Methods
Acute MR was induced in 36 anesthetized porcine subjects by severing the major chordae supporting the corresponding segment of the leaflet. This device was then transapically implanted on the prolapsing segment under 3D epicardial echocardiographic guidance. All of the animals were killed 30 days after the procedure to verify the proper location of the implanted devices.
Results
Cutting the major chordae induced an eccentric MR jet (MR grade: 3+, 27.8%/4+, 72.2%) in all of the animals. Every single pig was then successfully implanted with one clamp. The duration of catheterization ranged from 18 to 40 minutes. Overt MR reduction was observed following the procedure through echocardiography; residual MR was mild in 8 cases, trivial in 19 cases, and absent in 9 cases. In terms of hemodynamic parameters, the mean and maximum mitral valve pressure gradients were increased significantly (p<0.01), but these values were less than 4 mmHg in all of the cases. Autopsy demonstrated that all but one device were precisely placed to clip the prolapsing segment of the mitral valve, and there was no evidence of thrombosis, thromboembolism or impairment of the cardiac structure.

Abstract
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have made a significant breakthrough in the treatment of solid tumors; however, their use also generates unique immune-related adverse effects (irAEs). Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the risk of immune-related liver dysfunction between in patients treated by programmed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors exclusively and chemotherapy. Methods: A comprehensive search of multiple databases identified eligible studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors exclusively and chemotherapy in patients with different solid tumors was carried out. The elevations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartic aminotransferase (AST) were used to evaluate liver dysfunction. The relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated and analyzed by Review Manager 5.3 and STATA version 12.0 statistical software. Results: After screening and eligibility assessment, a total of 5638 patients from 12 RCTs were included in our meta-analysis. In comparison with chemotherapy, patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors exclusively showed an increased incidence of all-grade ALT/AST elevations (ALT: RR, 1.52, 95% CI, 1.09–2.13; p = 0.01; AST: RR, 1.96, 95% CI, 1.37–2.81; p = 0.0002). Patients receiving PD-1 inhibitors showed the significantly higher risk of all-grade ALT/AST elevations incidence than those receiving chemotherapy (ALT: RR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.05–2.07; p = 0.03; AST: RR, 1.90, 95% CI, 1.32–2.73; p = 0.0005). However, no significant difference was found between PD-L1 inhibitor and chemotherapy group. Moreover, for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and urothelial carcinoma (UC), patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors exclusively exhibited a significant higher risk of all-grade ALT elevation incidence (NSCLC: RR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.23–3.02; p = 0.004; UC: RR, 3.36; 95% CI, 1.12–10.06, p = 0.03) and all-grade AST elevation incidence (NSCLC: RR, 2.37; 95% CI, 1.45–3.87, p = 0.0005; UC: RR, 4.47; 95% CI, 1.30–15.38, p = 0.02) than chemotherapy. Conclusions: The meta-analysis confirms that PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors exclusive pose an increased risk of immune-related liver dysfunction than chemotherapy. PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in NSCLC and UC increase the risk of immune-related liver dysfunction, but not in melanoma (MM) and head-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Abstract
Efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for preventing primary and recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cancer remain unclear. In this study, we conducted a systematic review to summarize the most up-to-date evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Our primary outcomes included the benefit outcome (VTE) and safety outcome (major bleeding). A random-effects model was used to pool the relative risks (RRs) for data syntheses. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation tool was used to evaluate the quality of the entire body of evidence across studies. We included 11 RCTs with a total of 3741 patients with cancer for analyses. The DOACs were significantly related with a reduced risk of VTE when compared with non-DOACs: RR = 0.77, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.61-0.99, P = .04. Nonsignificant trend towards a higher risk of major bleeding was found in DOACs: RR = 1.28 95% CI: 0.81-2.02, P = .29. The quality of the entire body of evidence was graded as moderate for risk of VTE, and low for risk of major bleeding. To summarize, DOACs were found to have a favorable effect on risk of VTE but a nonsignificant higher risk of major bleeding compared with non-DOACs in patients with cancer. The safety effect of DOACs in patients with cancer requires further evaluation in adequately powered and designed studies.

Abstract
Muscle-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (MIBC) is characterized as a genetic heterogeneous cancer with a high percentage of recurrence and worse prognosis. Identify the prognostic potentials of novel genes for muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer could at least provide important information for early detection and clinical treatment. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) algorithm, a powerful systems biology approach, was utilized to extract co-expressed gene networks from mRNA expression dataset to construct transcriptional modules in MIBC samples, which was associated with demographic and clinical traits of MIBC patients. The potential prognostic markers of MIBC were screened out in the discovery dataset and verified in an independent external validation dataset. A total of 8 co-expression modules were detected through the WGCNA algorithm in the discovery datasets based on 401 MIBC samples. One transcriptional module enriched in cell development was observed to be correlated with the MIBC prognosis in the discovery datasets (HR = 1.48, 95%CI = 1.04-2.11) and independently verified in an external dataset (HR = 3.59, 95%CI = 1.09-11.79). High expression of hub genes including discoidin domain receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (DDR2), PDZ and LIM domain 3 (PDLIM3), zinc finger protein 521 (ZNF521), methionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (MSRB3) were significantly associated with the unfavorable survival of MIBC patients. We identified and validated four novel potential biomarkers associated with prognosis of MIBC patients by constructing genes co-expression networks. The discovery of these genetic markers may provide a new target for the development of MIBC chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased vitamin B6 catabolism related to inflammation, as measured by the PAr index (the ratio of 4-pyridoxic acid over the sum of pyridoxal and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate), has been positively associated with lung cancer risk in two prospective European studies. However, the extent to which this association translates to more diverse populations is not known. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this study, we included 5323 incident lung cancer cases and 5323 controls individually matched by age, sex, and smoking status within each of 20 prospective cohorts from the Lung Cancer Cohort Consortium. Cohort-specific odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between PAr and lung cancer risk were calculated using conditional logistic regression and pooled using random-effects models. RESULTS PAr was positively associated with lung cancer risk in a dose-response fashion. Comparing the fourth versus first quartiles of PAr resulted in an OR of 1.38 (95% CI: 1.19-1.59) for overall lung cancer risk. The association between PAr and lung cancer risk was most prominent in former smokers (OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.36-2.10), men (OR: 1.60, 95% CI: 1.28-2.00), and for cancers diagnosed within 3 years of blood draw (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.34-2.23). CONCLUSION Based on pre-diagnostic data from 20 cohorts across 4 continents, this study confirms that increased vitamin B6 catabolism related to inflammation and immune activation is associated with a higher risk of developing lung cancer. Moreover, PAr may be a pre-diagnostic marker of lung cancer rather than a causal factor.

Abstract
AIM There is no consensus regarding the association between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and risk of meningioma so far. We conducted the first study among Chinese female patients to investigate the influence of HRT use on the risk of meningioma. METHODS We retrospectively collected records of diagnosis of meningioma for women aged 50 years and above during 2011-2016 and dispense of HRT prior to meningioma diagnosis in three tertiary hospitals in China. Meningioma cases were matched with controls at a ratio of 1:2 by using nearest neighbor propensity scores matching in order to balance the baseline characteristics between groups, which generated a total of 629 cases with 1258 controls. RESULTS We observed prior use of HRT associated with increased risk of meningioma (odds ratio [OR], 1.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0-1.4) and the association was more prominent among women having multiple HRT dispenses and longer term exposure (OR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.6), among those with combination therapy of estrogens and progestogens (OR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.7) than monotherapy, and among progestogen users than estrogen users as for monotherapy. Furthermore, vaginal, subcutaneous implant seems to be associated with a higher risk of meningioma compared with oral administration although no significance had been reached. CONCLUSION This case-control study provides evidence that hormone use for an HRT purpose might constitute the development and growth of meningioma as an independent risk factor, especially for combination therapy and/or long-term users, which supports that meningioma might be a hormone-sensitive tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin imaging analysis, acting as a supplement to noninvasive bioengineering devices, has been widely used in medical cosmetology and cosmetic product evaluation. The main aim of this study is to assess the differences and correlations in measuring skin spots, wrinkles, vascular features, porphyrin, and pore between two commercially available image analysis software. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy healthy women were included in the study. Before taking pictures, the dermatologist evaluated subjects' skin conditions. Test sites included the forehead, cheek, and periorbital skin. A 2 × 2 cm cardboard was used to make a mark on the skin surface. Pictures were taken using VISIA® under three kinds light conditions and analyzed using VISIA® and IPP® respectively. RESULTS (1) Skin pore, red area, ultraviolet spot, brown spot, porphyrin, and wrinkle measured with VISIA® were correlated with those measured with IPP® (P < .01). (2) Spot, wrinkle, fine line, brown spot, and red area analyzed with VISIA® were correlated with age on the forehead and periorbital skin (P < .05). L-value, Crow's feet, ultraviolet spot, brown spot, and red area analyzed with IPP® were correlated with age on the periorbital skin (P < .05). (3) L-value, spot, wrinkle, fine line, porphyrin, red area, and pore analyzed with VISIA® and IPP® showed correlations with the subjective evaluation scores (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS VISIA® and IPP® showed acceptable correlation in measuring various skin conditions. VISIA® showed a high sensibility when measured on the forehead skin. IPP® is available as an alternative software program to evaluate skin features.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the characteristics of Helicobacter pylori resistance in China and the association between antibiotic resistance and several clinical factors. METHODS H. pylori strains were collected from patients in 13 provinces or cities in China between 2010 and 2016. Demographic data including type of disease, geographic area, age, gender and isolation year were collected to analyse their association with antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance was detected using the Etest test and the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. RESULTS H. pylori were successfully cultured from 1117 patients. The prevalence of metronidazole, clarithromycin (CLA), azithromycin, levofloxacin (LEV), moxifloxacin, amoxicillin (AMO), tetracycline and rifampicin resistance was 78.2, 22.1, 23.3, 19.2, 17.2, 3.4, 1.9 and 1.5%, respectively. No resistance to furazolidone was observed. The resistance rates to LEV and moxifloxacin were higher in strains isolated from patients with gastritis compared to those with duodenal ulcer and among women. Compared to patients ≥40 years old, younger patients exhibited lower resistance rates to CLA, azithromycin, LEV and moxifloxacin. The resistance rates to CLA and AMO were higher in strains isolated more recently, and we also found that the prevalence of resistance to metronidazole, CLA, azithromycin and AMO were significantly different among different regions of China. CONCLUSIONS The resistance rates to metronidazole, CLA and LEV were high in China. Patient age, gender, disease and location were associated with the resistance of H. pylori to some antibiotics. Furazolidone, AMO and tetracycline are better choices for H. pylori treatment in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have evaluated the effect of medical diagnostic radiation on brain tumors. Recent cohort studies have reported an increased risk associated with exposure to head CT scans. METHODS Information regarding medical conditions, including prenatal and postnatal exposure to medical diagnostic radiation, was obtained from CEFALO, a multicenter case-control study performed in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland through face-to-face interview. Eligible cases of childhood and adolescent brain tumors (CABT) were ages 7 to 19 years, diagnosed between January 1, 2004 and August 31, 2008, and living in the participating countries (n = 352). The cases were matched by age, sex, and region to 646 population-based controls. RESULTS Prenatal exposure to medical diagnostic radiation and postnatal exposure to X-rays were not associated with CABTs. A higher risk estimate of CABTs, although not statistically significant, was found for exposure to head CT scan (OR, 1.86; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-4.22). The associations with head injury, febrile seizure, fever in the first 12 weeks, and general anesthesia were close to unity. CONCLUSIONS Prenatal or postnatal medical conditions, including medical diagnostic radiation, were not associated with CABTs. On the basis of small numbers of exposed children, we observed a nonsignificant increased risk for CT scans of the head. IMPACT We have presented additional evidence, suggesting that exposure to head CT scan may be associated with the occurrence of CABTs. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 26(1); 110-5. ©2016 AACR.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the compliance and short-term effects of eruption guidance appliance (EGA) in adolescents with class II division 1 malocclusion in comparison with twin-block appliance (TBA) and activator-headgear appliance (A-HG). Dental records of 1886 patients were viewed in this retrospective study 129 patients treated with one of these three functional appliances were identified. 123 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and data were extracted from the dental records. Gender, age, compliance, overjet change at every visit, number of appliance breakages and number of emergency visits apart from appliance breakage were studied. The data were analyzed with Chi-square test, General Linear Model and Fisher scoring test. Results showed that 47 patients were treated with EGA, 38 patients with TBA and 38 patients with A-HG. Mean ages starting the treatment were slightly lower with EGA (11.5 years) than with TBA (12.3 years) and A-HG (11.8 years). Non-compliance was higher in the EGA group (31.9%) than TBA group (26.3%) and A-HG group (23.7%). Mean overjet reduction per month was 0.6 mm for EGA which was lower than TBA group (0.7 mm) and A-HG groups (0.7 mm).The number of emergency visits and appliance breakage were lower in EGA group. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the 3 groups regarding ages,compliance, mean overjet reduction, emergency visits and appliance breakage aspects. In conclusion, this study indicates that EGA is an alternative choice in the treatment of adolescent patients with class II division 1 malocclusion. However, long-term follow-up and cephalometric prospective study should be performed to continue our understanding more about the mechanisms of EGA and more definite conclusions can be made.

Abstract
Background: In contrast to the consistent evidence for obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, the impact of obesity in CRC patients is less clear. In a well-characterised cohort of CRC patients, we prospectively evaluated class I and class II obesity with survival outcomes. Methods: The CRC patients (N=634) were followed from the date of diagnosis until disease progression/first recurrence (progression-free survival (PFS)) or death (overall survival (OS)). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from reported usual weight prior to diagnosis. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated in models adjusted for clinicopathologic, treatment, and lifestyle factors. Results: Over a median follow-up of 4 years, 208 (33%) patients died and 235 (37%) recurred or progressed. Class II obesity, as compared with either overweight or normal weight, was associated with an increased risk of death (HR and 95% CI: 1.55 (0.97–2.48) and 1.65 (1.02–2.68), respectively), but no clear association was observed with PFS. In analyses restricted to patients who presented as stages I–III, who reported stable weight, or who were aged <50 years, obesity was associated with a significant two- to five-fold increased risk of death. Conclusions: In CRC patients evaluated at a large cancer centre, severely obese patients experienced worse survival outcomes independent of many other factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common community-acquired pathogen responsible for a substantial disease burden in adults. We investigated the outcomes after RSV infection in hospitalized adults over a 3-year period. METHODS This single-center, retrospective study identified 174 patients hospitalized with RSV upper or lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2012. Clinical data were extracted from medical records. The primary outcome analyzed was all-cause mortality, defined as death during the index hospital admission. Subjects were divided into 3 groups for comparison: hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients, solid organ transplant (SOT) patients, and non-transplant patients. RESULTS In our study, 41/174 (23.6%) were HSCT recipients and 28/174 (16.1%) were SOT recipients. Twelve of 174 (6.9%) died. Death occurred in 2/41 (4.9%) HSCT and 3/28 (10.7%) SOT recipients, compared to 7/106 (6.6%) non-transplant patients. When compared to the non-transplant cohort, HSCT and SOT were not found to be significant risk factors for mortality (P = 0.685 and 0.645, respectively). In multivariate logistic regression, age >60 was associated with mortality (P = 0.019), while lymphopenia on admission trended toward an association with death (P = 0.054). HSCT patients were less likely to be admitted to an intensive care unit (odds ratio [OR] 0.26, P = 0.04), but were significantly more likely to receive ribavirin therapy (OR 11.62, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Adults hospitalized with RSV LRTI are at significant risk of mortality, and this risk may be increased in patients age >60 or with lymphopenia on admission. This study did not identify any significant increased mortality or morbidity associated with RSV infection in immune suppressed transplant recipients vs. patients who had not received a transplant.
