Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate predictors of anticoagulation efficacy in deep venous thrombosis (DVT) by ultrasound elastography (UE). METHODS The basic clinical, laboratory and ultrasound treatment data of fifty-eight patients with DVT were collected and analyzed. Then the results of ultrasound after 3-month anticoagulation treatment were compared among different groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors that affected anticoagulation efficacy. The predictive efficacy of each independent risk factor was accessed by drawing operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS According to the regression analysis, the elastic modulus (OR = 0.631, P = 0.001) and strain rate ratio (OR = 0.332, P = 0.006) were identified as independent risk factors for the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy in patients with DVT. According to the ROC curves, elastic modulus and strain rate ratio could predict effective anticoagulation therapy for DVT, and the optimal threshold values were 22.10 kPa and 1.80 respectively. The corresponding AUC values were 0.879 and 0.854, with a sensitivity of 71.4% and 59.5%, a specificity of 93.7%, and a Youden index of 65.1% and 62.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The elastic modulus (≤22.10 kPa) or strain rate ratio (≤1.80) of the thrombus were independent predictors for the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the potential clinical biological factors influencing the major pathological response (MPR) to neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in patients with resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients with resectable HNSCC who underwent neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from June 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between clinical characteristics, inflammatory markers and MPR, and a nomogram model was constructed. The calibration curve and decision curve analysis were used to verify the predictive ability and accuracy of the nomogram model. Results: A total of 173 patients were included in the study, with 141 males and 32 females, aged from 22 to 83 years. After pathological assessment, the patients were divided into two groups: MPR group (108 cases) and non MPR group (65 cases). Logistics regression analysis indicated that the patients with HPV+oropharyngeal cancer, partial response or complete response by imaging assessment, low pre-treatment platelet/lymphocyte ratio, low pre-treatment C reactive protein/albumin ratio and lower pre-and post-treatment C reactive protein/albumin ratio difference were more likely to have MPR (all P<0.05). Nomogram model was constructed based on the above factors, with a C-index of 0.826 (95%CI: 0.760-0.892), and the calibration curve and decision curve analysis confirmed the prediction accuracy of the model. Conclusion: This study shows that many factors are related to MPR of patients with resectable HNSCC receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and the constructed nomogram model helps to develop personalized treatment strategies for the patients.

Abstract
The sprayable hydrogel coatings that can establish robust adhesion onto diverse materials and devices hold enormous potential; however, a significant challenge persists due to monomer hydration, which impedes even coverage during spraying and induces inadequate adhesion post-gelation. Herein, a polycation-reinforced (PCR) surface bridging strategy is presented to achieve tough and sprayable hydrogel coatings onto diverse materials. The polycations offer superior wettability and instant electrostatic interactions with plasma-treated substrates, facilitating an effective spraying application. This PCR-based hydrogel coatings demonstrate tough adhesion performance to inert PTFE and silicone, including remarkable shear strength (161 ± 49 kPa for PTFE), interfacial toughness (198 ± 27 J m-2 for PTFE), and notable tolerance to cyclic tension (10 000 cycles, 200% strain, silicone). Meanwhile, this method can be applied to various hydrogel formulations, offering diverse functionalities, including underwater adhesion, lubrication, and drug delivery. Furthermore, the PCR concept enables the conformal construction of durable hydrogel coatings onto sophisticated medical devices like cardiovascular stents. Given its simplicity and adaptability, this approach paves an avenue for incorporating hydrogels onto solid surfaces and potentially promotes untapped applications.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring during early induction therapy for the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 1 164 ALL patients first diagnosed between October 2016 and June 2019 was collected from 16 hospitals in South China Children's Leukemia Group. According to MRD assay on day 15 of early induction therapy, they were divided into MRD<0.10% group, MRD 0.10%-<10.00% group and MRD≥10.00% group. According to MRD assay on day 33, they were divided into MRD<0.01% group, MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group and MRD≥1.00% group. Age, onset white blood cell count, central nervous system leukemia (CNSL), molecular genetic characteristics and other data were compared between groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Cox regression model was used to analyze prognostic factors. Results: Of the 1 164 enrolled patients, there were 692 males and 472 females. The age of diagnosis was 4.7 (0.5, 17.4) years. The white blood cell count at initial diagnosis was 10.7 (0.4, 1 409.0) ×109/L. Among all patients, 53 cases (4.6%) had CNSL. The follow-up time was 47.6 (0.5, 68.8) months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were (93.1±0.8) % and (90.3±1.1) %. On day 15 of early induction therapy, there were 466 cases in the MRD<0.10% group, 523 cases in the MRD 0.10%-<10.00% group and 175 cases in the MRD≥10.00% group. The 5-year OS rates of the MRD<0.10% group, MRD 0.10%-<10.00% group and MRD≥10.00% group were (95.4±1.0) %, (93.3±1.1) %, (85.4±2.9) %, respectively, while the RFS rates were (93.2±1.6) %, (90.8±1.4) %, (78.9±4.3) %, respectively (χ2=16.47, 21.06, both P<0.05). On day 33 of early induction therapy, there were 925 cases in the MRD <0.01% group, 164 cases in the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group and 59 cases in the MRD≥1.00% group. The 5-year RFS rates in the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group was lowest among three groups ((91.4±1.2) % vs. (84.5±3.2) % vs. (87.9±5.1) %). The difference between three groups is statistically significant (χ2=9.11, P=0.010). Among ALL patients with MRD≥10.00% on day 15 of induction therapy, there were 80 cases in the MRD <0.01% group on day 33, 45 cases in the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group on day 33 and 45 cases in the MRD≥1.00% group on day 33. The 5-year RFS rates of three groups were (83.9±6.0)%, (67.1±8.2)%, (83.3±6.9)% respectively (χ2=6.90, P=0.032). Univariate analysis was performed in the MRD≥10.00% group on day 15 and the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group on day 33.The 5-year RFS rate of children with CNSL was significantly lower than that without CNSL in the MRD≥10.00% group on day 15 ((50.0±20.4)% vs. (80.3±4.4)%,χ2=4.13,P=0.042). Patients with CNSL or MLL gene rearrangement in the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group on day 33 had significant lower 5-year RFS rate compared to those without CNSL or MLL gene rearrangement ((50.0±25.0)% vs. (85.5±3.1)%,χ2=4.06,P=0.044;(58.3±18.6)% vs. (85.7±3.2)%,χ2=9.44,P=0.002). Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR=0.58, 95%CI 0.35-0.97) and white blood cell count at first diagnosis (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.27-0.70) were independent risk factors for OS. The MRD level on day 15 (OR=0.55,95%CI 0.31-0.97), ETV6-RUNX1 fusion gene (OR=0.13,95%CI 0.03-0.54), MLL gene rearrangement (OR=2.55,95%CI 1.18-5.53) and white blood cell count at initial diagnosis (OR=0.52,95%CI 0.33-0.81) were independent prognostic factors for RFS. Conclusions: The higher the level of MRD in early induction therapy, the worse the OS. The MRD levels on day 15 is an independent prognostic factor for RFS.The MRD in early induction therapy guided accurate risk stratification and individualized treatment can improve the survival rate of pediatric ALL.

Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a pulmonary vascular disease characterized by an insidious onset, progressive deterioration, and poor prognosis. It is distinguished by the thrombotic organization within the pulmonary arteries, leading to vascular stenosis or occlusion. This results in a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure, ultimately leading to right heart failure. In recent years, balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has emerged as an effective treatment option for patients ineligible for pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). However, the use of stents in patients with suboptimal balloon dilation remains controversial. This article describes two cases of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in which balloon angioplasty yielded unsatisfactory results, subsequently leading to stent placement. Following stent implantation, there was improved blood flow, significant reduction in pulmonary arterial pressure, and notable alleviation of patient symptoms. One-year follow-up showed no recurrence of stenosis within the stent, suggesting potential guidance for the use of pulmonary artery stenting as a treatment modality for CTEPH. This report provided new insights into the therapeutic approach for CTEPH.

Abstract
Condensation of 3,3'-diamino-2,2'-ethylene-bridged azobenzene with 1,2,4,5-tetrakis-(4-formylphenyl) benzene produces a visible light responsive porous 2D covalent organic framework, COF-bAzo-TFPB, with a large surface area, good crystallinity, and thermal and chemical stability. The results demonstrate that the elaborated designed linker can make azo unit on the COF-bAzo-TFPB skeleton undergo reversible photoisomerization. This work expands the application scope of covalent organic frameworks in photo-controlled release, uptake of guest molecules, dynamic photoswitching, and UV-sensitive functions.

Abstract
By conducting retrospective analysis, this study aim to investigate the resistance mechanism of quinolones in non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS). A total of 105 strains of NTS isolated from clinical specimens from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University from May 2020 to February 2021 were used as research objects. VITEK2 Compact automatic identification drug sensitivity analysis system and serological test were used to identify the strains. The sensitivity of the strains to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and nalidixic acid was detected by AGAR dilution method. The whole genome of 105 strains of NTS was sequenced. Abricate and other softwares were used to analyze drug-resistant genes, including plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance gene (PMQR) and Quinolone resistance determination region (QRDR). Serotypes and ST types were analyzed using SISTR and MLST, and phylogenetic trees were constructed. The results showed that the NTS isolated in this region were mainly ST34 Salmonella typhimurium (53.3%). The drug sensitivity results showed that the drug resistance rates of NTS to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and nalidixic acid were 30.4%, 1.9% and 22.0%, respectively, and the intermediate rates of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin were 27.6% and 54.2%.A total of 46 (74.2%) of the 62 quinolone non-susceptible strains carried the PMQR gene, mainly qnrS1 (80.4%), followed by aac(6')-Ib-cr(15.2%); there were 14 NTS and 8 NTS had gyrA and parC gene mutations, respectively. The gyrA was mutations at the amino acid position 87, Asp87Tyr, Asp87Asn, Asp87Gly, and Thr57Ser mutations were detected in parC. In conclusion, this study found that NTS had relatively high resistance to quinolones, carrying qnrS1 gene mainly resulted in decreased sensitivity of NTS to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, and gyrA:87 mutation mainly resulted in NTS resistance to Nalidixic acid; Salmonella typhimurium in clinical isolates showed clonal transmission and required further epidemiological surveillance.

Abstract
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an emerging discipline, which has been applied to drug abuse tracking and infectious disease pathogen surveillance. During the COVID-19 epidemic, WBE has been applied to monitor the epidemic trend and SARS-CoV-2 variants etc. In order to detect hidden COVID-19 cases and prevent transmission in the community, wastewater surveillance system for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 RNA was developed in Shenzhen. The sewage sampling sites were set up in key places such as the port areas, urban villages and residential communities of Futian, Nanshan, Luohu and Yantian districts. From July 26 to November 30, 2022, a total of 369 sewage sampling sites were set up, covering 1.93 million people. Continuous sampling was carried out for 3 hours in the peak period of water use every day. Sewage virus enrichment and SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection were carried out by polyethylene glycol precipitation method and RT-qPCR, and a positive water sample disposal process was molded. This article aims to introduce the case of source tracing of COVID-19 infected patients based on urban sewage in Shenzhen. The sewage monitoring of Honghu water treatment plant in Luohu District played an early warning role, and the source of infection was traced. In the disposal of positive water samples in Futian South Road, Futian District, the important experience of monitoring point layout was obtained. In the sewage monitoring of Nanshan village, Nanshan District, the existence of occult infection was revealed. Sharing the experience of tracing the source of COVID-19 patients to avoid the spread of COVID-19 in the community based on wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Shenzhen, and summarizing the advantages and application prospects of sewage surveillance can provide new ideas for monitoring emerging or re-emerging pathogens that are known to exhibit gastrointestinal excretion in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor budding (TB) has emerged as a promising independent prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC). The prognostic role of TB has been extensively studied and currently affects clinical decision making in patients with stage I and II CRC. However, existing prognostic studies on TB in stage III CRC have been confined to small retrospective cohort studies. Consequently, this study investigated the correlation among TB categories, clinicopathological features, and prognosis in stage III-IV CRC to further enhance the precision and individualization of treatment through refined prognostic risk stratification. AIM To analyze the relationship between TB categories and clinicopathological characteristics and assess their prognostic value in stage III-IV CRC to further refine the prognostic risk stratification of stage III-IV CRC. METHODS The clinical data of 547 CRC patients were collected for this retrospective study. Infiltration at the front edge of the tumor buds was counted according to the 2016 International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference guidelines. RESULTS Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis demonstrated that chemotherapy (P = 0.004), clinical stage IV (P < 0.001), ≥ 4 regional lymph node metastases (P = 0.004), left-sided colonic cancer (P = 0.040), and Bd 2-3 (P = 0.002) were independent prognostic factors in patients with stage III-IV CRC. Moreover, the density of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes was higher in Bd 1 than in Bd 2-3, both in the tumor stroma and its invasive margin. CONCLUSION TB has an independent predictive prognostic value in patients with stage III-IV CRC. It is recommended to complete the TB report of stage III-IV CRC cases in the standardized pathological report to further refine risk stratification.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the efficacy of myocardial protection with single-dose histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) cardioplegia during aortic root operation, and the correlation between short-term clinical outcomes and duration of myocardial ischemia. Methods: The data of clinical cases undergoing myocardial protection with single-dose HTK cardioplegia during aortic root operation from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into conventional HTK cardioplegia group (<3 h) and prolonged HTK cardioplegia group (≥3 h) according to duration of intraoperative myocardial ischemia. A 1∶1 propensity score matching was performed and the correlations between duration of myocardial ischemia and postoperative short-term outcomes (30-day mortality, readmission, mechanical circulation support and renal insufficiency) were analyzed. Results: A total of 282 patients were included in the final analysis, with 210 cases in the conventional HTK cardioplegia group and 72 cases inthe prolonged HTK cardioplegia group before matching. After matching, there were 64 cases (53 males and 11 females) in the conventional HTK cardioplegia group, with a mean age of (49.4±14.2) years. The prolonged HTK cardioplegia group had 64 cases (55 males and 9 females), with a mean age of (50.5±12.3) years. Higher sensitivity troponin [12 h: 10.1 (4.6, 18.7) μg/Lvs 4.1(2.2, 8.6) μg/L, P=0.002; 24 h: 7.7 (4.5, 19.0) μg/L vs 4.8 (2.2, 11.9) μg/L, P=0.025] and creatine kinase isoenzyme[12 h: 46.3 (28.1, 62.4) μg/L vs 20.7(14.1, 32.9) μg/L, P<0.001; 24 h: 26.3(13.4, 49.2) μg/L vs 14.5 (10.1, 33.5)μg/L, P=0.011] after surgery was detected in prolonged HTK cardioplegia group. Comparisons of other primary and secondary endpoint events showed no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression showed that duration of myocardial ischemia had no significant effect on postoperative 30-day mortality (OR=1.255, 95%CI: 0.500-3.148, P=0.629), 30-day readmission (OR=0.378, 95%CI: 0.069-2.065, P=0.261) and mechanical circulation support (OR=0.991, 95%CI: 0.331-2.970, P=0.998). Conclusion: During aortic root surgery, single-dose HTK cardioplegia may provide satisfactory myocardial protection, and there was no significant correlation between duration of myocardial ischemia and short-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To construct a targeted and accurate evaluation system for facial and cervical wounds and scars of burn patients. Methods: The method combining literature analysis and survey research was adopted, and the basic principles of item system construction were followed. From June to August 2020, based on the aesthetic standards of facial and cervical plastic surgery, the topographic map assessment system for facial and cervical wounds and scars of burn patients was preliminarily formed, focusing on the assessment of wounds and scars in the necks and faces of patients after burns. In September 2020, 38 experts in the relevant fields were consulted in advance and the questionnaire was revised according to the experts' opinions. From December 2020 to March 2021, the Delphi method was applied to conduct inquiry by correspondence with 35 experts in relevant fields from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, and other cities, who met the inclusion criteria, and the items were screened and established. The effective recovery rate of inquiry questionnaire was calculated to determine the level of enthusiasm of experts, the average authority coefficient of all items was calculated to determine the level of expert authority, the average importance expert score, the average coefficient of variation, and the average full score rate of all the third-level items were calculated to determine the concentration of expert opinions, the average coefficients of variation and Kendall's harmony coefficients of the importance, sensitivity, and operability expert scores of all the third-level items were calculated to determine the degree of coordination of expert opinions. The Kendall's harmony coefficients for the importance, sensitivity, and operability expert scores of all the third-level items were statistically analyzed with chi-square test. Results: Among the 35 experts consulted by Delphi method, mainly were male, aged (48±10) years, with 8-38 years of working experience, mainly with associate senior titles and above, all with a bachelor's degree or above education background, and of whom 11 were burn experts, 7 were wound repair experts, 4 were plastic surgery experts, and 13 were rehabilitation medicine experts. Finally, a topographic map assessment system for facial and cervical wounds and scars of burn patients was formed, including 4 first-level items, 21 second-level items, 40 third-level items, and 1 mask. The effective recovery rate of inquiry questionnaire was 100% (35/35). The average authority coefficient of all items was 0.89. The average importance expert score was 4.67, the average coefficient of variation of importance expert score was 0.01, and the average full score rate of all the third-level items was 86.3%. The average coefficients of variation of the importance, sensitivity, and operability expert scores of all the third-level items were 0.01, 0.01, and 0.02, respectively. The Kendall's harmony coefficients for the importance, sensitivity, and operability expert scores of all the third-level items were statistically significant (with χ2 values of 1 201.53, 745.67, and 707.07, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions: The established topographic map assessment system for facial and cervical wounds and scars of burn patients has high scientificity and reliability, which can be used for the evaluation of facial and neck wounds or scars in burn patients.

Methods: In March 2022, Thirty-two C57 mice were randomly divided into control group, Low dose group, a medium dose group, and a high-dose group, with 8 mice in each group, and injected intraperitoneally with physiological saline, 20, 40, and 80, respectivelyμmol/kgAl (mal) (3) was administered, it was injected 5 days a week and discontinued 2 days for 60 days. Morris water maze test was used to test the spatial learning and memory ability of mice. Nissl staining was used to observe the pathological changes of brain tissue. The protein expression levels of RIP1, RIP3, MLKL and HSP90 in hippocampus were determined by Western blotting. Results: In the water maze experiment, compared with the control group, the number of mice crossing the platform decreased in each dose group, the difference was statistically significant (H=9.50, P=0.023), and the number of mice crossing the platform was statistically significant among each dose group (P <0.05). Compared with the control group, the number of hippocampal nerve cells in each dose group decreased, the arrangement was disordered, and the Nissellite bodies decreased. Western blotting results showed that compared with the control group, the expression level of RIP1 protein in the hippocampus of mice in high-dose group was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). The expression levels of RIP3, MLKL and HSP90 in hippocampal tissue of mice in medium and high dose groups were increased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After siRNA intervention decreased the expression of HSP90 protein, the expressions of HSP90, RIP1, RIP3 and MLKL in Al (mal) (3) groups were increased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Through RIP1/RIP3/MLKL pathway, HSP90 is involved in neuronal programmed necrosis and spatial memory impairment induced by maltol aluminum in C57 mice.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the attitudes toward sexual health education and its correlates among community-based older adults in Shanghai, China. Methods: From June 2020 to December 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among community residents aged ≥50 in Shanghai through multi-stage sampling. The estimated sample size was 735. The questionnaire included sociodemographic characteristics, health characteristics, and history of sexual health education. The multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the correlates of attitudes toward sexual health education among community-based older adults. Results: A total of 824 participants (489 males and 335 females) with age of (65.1±8.1) years were included, whose main age distribution was 60-69 years (45.3%). The prevalence of supporting sexual health education among older adults was 49.4% (45.2% of men and 55.5% of women). Males (aOR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.44-0.83), aged 70 years and older (aOR=0.62, 95%CI: 0.40-0.94), urban residents (aOR= 2.54, 95%CI: 1.81-3.58), self-reported very good or excellent health status (aOR=1.64,95%CI: 1.04-2.58), having depressive symptoms (aOR=0.37,95%CI: 0.15-0.85), and having a history of sexual health education (aOR=8.64,95%CI: 4.62-17.70) were associated with their attitude toward sexual health education. Conclusions: The proportion of community-based older adults in Shanghai who support sexual health education was not high. Their attitudes toward sexual health education were associated with their self-reported health status, depressive symptoms, and history of sex education. Health professionals and institutions should focus on community-based older adults with key characteristics and tailor interventions to promote the willingness to receive sexual health education among older adults in China and to promote the popularity of sexual health education in this population.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the sexually active status among community-based older adults aged ≥50 years in Tianjin, China, and to explore the potential correlates. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using multistage sampling among community-based older adults aged ≥50 was conducted between June 2020 and December 2022. The estimated sample size was 735. The survey collected questionnaire information through face-to-face interviews with investigators, including sociodemographic, health, and sexual lifestyle characteristics. The multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess correlates of sexually active status. Results: A total of 776 study participants (510 males and 266 females) were included, whose major age distribution was 50-59 years (45.9%). The overall sexual activity prevalence of the participants was 45.6%. Older age (60-69: aOR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.45-0.99; ≥70: aOR=0.12, 95%CI: 0.07-0.21), being male (aOR=1.93, 95%CI: 1.32-2.82), living in urban area (aOR=0.18, 95%CI: 0.12-0.28), living with spouse/married (aOR=2.80, 95%CI: 1.41-5.58), living alone (aOR=0.51, 95%CI: 0.27-0.96), having difficulty climbing stairs or walking (aOR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.31-0.97), having chronic diseases (one chronic disease: aOR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.36-0.85; two or more chronic diseases: aOR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.33-0.84) were associated with sexually active status among older adults. Conclusions: Many community-based older adults remained sexually active. There was an association between physical health and sexually active status among community-based older adults. Incorporating sexual health services into healthcare services for community-based older adults could be advocated, with a concurrent emphasis on enhancing the awareness and competence of providing sexual health services among community-based healthcare workers.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the utilization of sexual health services among community-based older adults in Chongqing and explore its potential correlates. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using multistage sampling among community-based older adults aged ≥50 years was conducted in Chongqing between June 2020 and December 2022. A questionnaire including information on demographic characteristics, general health, sexual health status, and sexual health services utilization was collected. Sexual health and reproductive services utilization was defined as having ever been tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or having had a male/gynecological reproductive health examination in the past year. Logistic regression was used to examine the correlates of the utilization of sexual health services. Results: A total of 794 community-based older adults participated in the study (482 were male, and 312 were female). The mean age was (62.8±8.2) years. The proportion of HIV testing was 18.0%, and the proportion of reproductive health examination was 10.1% among community-based older adults. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age group of 60-69 years (aOR=0.37, 95%CI: 0.18-0.76), female (aOR=11.34, 95%CI: 5.71-22.52), monthly income ≥5 000 yuan (aOR=3.05, 95%CI: 1.01-9.27), being sexual activity (aOR=4.99, 95%CI: 2.23-11.15) was significantly associated with had a reproductive health examination in the past year. Conclusions: The proportion of sexual health services utilization among older adults was low. Older sexual health education should be further strengthened, the close relationship between older adults should be correctly guided and dealt with, and the sexual health services suitable for the older population should be formulated.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the current status of condom use and its correlates among community-based older adults in Chongqing, China. Methods: Cross-sectional study based on a multistage sampling method was conducted in Chongqing from June 2020 to December 2022. The estimated sample size was 735. Through face-to-face interviews, the investigators collected the sociodemographic characteristics, sexual behavior characteristics, awareness of AIDS prevention knowledge, etc. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to explore the correlates of condom use during the last sexual behavior among the participants. Results: A total of 761 participants were included in this study, with 476 males and 285 females, whose average age was (63.8±8.2) years old, mainly in the age group of 60-69 years (44.5%). Among the participants, the rate of condom use during the last sexual behavior was 9.7%. The multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that correlates of condom use during the last sexual behavior included urban household registration (aOR=2.34, 95%CI: 1.12-4.89), monthly income of 1 000-4 999 Yuan, and 5 000 Yuan and above (aOR=4.49, 95%CI: 1.31-15.41; aOR=16.33, 95%CI: 4.30-62.00), self-assessed sexual behavior risk as very risky/relatively risky (aOR=3.97, 95%CI: 1.40-11.31), awareness of AIDS prevention knowledge (aOR=0.36, 95%CI: 0.21-0.62). Conclusions: The rate of condom use among community-based older adults in Chongqing is low. Comprehensive intervention measures should be taken in combination with the characteristics and needs of community-based older adults to improve awareness of AIDS prevention knowledge and perception of AIDS risk and promote condom use among this population.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the immunological characteristics and antibody changes of patients infected with the Omicron BA.1 and evaluate the possibility of secondary infection. Methods: A total of 104 patients infected with Omicron BA.1 in the Jinnan District of Tianjin from January 8 to February 2, 2022, were included in the study. The control group and case group were matched 1∶1 based on age, sex and vaccination status. Serum was collected from the case group and control group at 3, 6 and 9 months after infection. The serum levels of interleukin4 (IL-4), IL-5 and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), as well as the positive rates of IgG, IgG1 and IgG2, were detected by ELISA. Results: The highest concentration of IFN-γ in the case group at 6 months after infection was 145.4 pg/ml, followed by a decrease in concentration. The concentrations of IL-4 and IL-5 began to decrease at 6 months after infection (all P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the IgG2 positive rate between the case group and the control group at 6 months after BA.1 infection. However, at 9 months, there was a significant decrease compared to the control group (P=0.003). The ratio of IFN-γ/IL4 at 3 months after infection in the case group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the ratio between the case group and the control group at 9 months after infection. Conclusion: The cellular immune function has been impaired at 3 months after infection with BA.1, and the specific cellular immune and humoral immune functions decrease significantly after 6 months, and the risk of secondary infection increases.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the drug resistance mechanism and gene structure characteristics of a carbapenemase-producing novel incompatibility group plasmid pNY2385-KPC from Citrobacter freundii. Methods: A multi-drug resistant strain was obtained from urine samples of patients with fever in the emergency ward of Li Huili Hospital, Ningbo Medical Center. Bacterial species was preliminary identified and finally confirmed by 16S rRNA gene amplification and the average nucleotide identity alignment, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the antimicrobial agents were determined by VITEK 2 Compact System. The complete genome sequence was obtained by "third-generation" sequencing methods, and then detailed annotation of gene function and comparative genomic analysis of plasmid structure were carried out by BLASTP/BLASTN, RefSeq, ConservedDomains, ResFinder, Isfinder, etc. Results: The pNY2385-KPC carried by citrobacter freundii NY2385 belonged a novel incompatibility group, and contained blaKPC-2 and conjugative transfer (type Ⅳ secretory system, T4SS) genes, which could induce conjugative transfer. A total of 15 plasmids of the same type as pNY2385-KPC were retrieved by NCBI, which were from Citrobacter freundii, and the rest were from Serratia marcescens, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Raoultella planticola and other bacteria, and were broad-host-range plasmids. The sequence comparative analysis of all 6 of the novel plasmid from Citrobacter freundii showed that the structure of the novel plasmid had certain conserved property, with Tn6296 variant structure carrying blaKPC-2, and plasmid pCF1807-3 had both repApNY2385-KPC and repAIncX8. Conclusion: The pNY2385-KPC type plasmids in Citrobacter freundii carried blaKPC-2 resistance gene, which were divided into two subtypes: repApNY2385-KPC single replicator and repApNY2385-KPC/repAIncX8 complex replicator, belonging to broad-host-range plasmids. And as a mobile genetic element, the plasmids promote the spread of blaKPC-2.

Abstract
This study was designed to explore cryptanshinone (CPT) extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza stimulating pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stem cell (LSC) apoptosis and anti-inflammatory mechanism via accelerating microRNA (miR)-211-5p to restrain Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway activation. Obtaining blood samples from pediatric acute myeloid leukemia patients and healthy volunteers and detecting miR-211-5p and JAK2 were performed. Purchase of the human AML cell line KG1a was conducted, and sorting of KG1a cells was to gain LSC. Test of miR-211-5p and JAK2, the phosphorylation of JAK2/STAT3 was implemented. Pretreatment of LSCs was with CPT. Variation of miR-211-5p and JAK2 in LSCs was via plasmid transfection to explore their actions in cell advancement with apoptosis and inflammation. Identification of the targeting of miR-211-5p with JAK2 was implemented. In results: MiR-211-5p was declined in endometrial cancer, while JAK2 was elevated; CPT was available to boost LSC apoptosis and restrain the inflammation; elevated miR-211-5p or repressive JAK2 was available to strengthen the acceleration of CPT on LSCs apoptosis and the repression of inflammation; MiR-211-5p targeted JAK2; augmented JAK2 was available to turn around the action of elevated miR-211-5p. We conclude that CPT extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza stimulated pediatric LSC apoptosis and restrained the inflammation via accelerating microRNA (miR)-211-5p to suppress JAK2/STAT3 pathway activation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of modified Shirodkar transvaginal cervical cerclage (TVCC) in the treatment of cervical insufficiency (CI) and its impact on maternal and fetal outcomes. Methods: The clinical data of 218 pregnant women with CI admitted to Fu Xing Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1, 2015 to August 31, 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. According to different surgical approaches, they were divided into modified Shirodkar TVCC treatment during pregnancy (TVCC group, 108 cases) and non-pregnant women underwent laparoscopic cervical cerclage (LACC) treatment (LACC group, 110 cases). The clinical data and pregnancy outcomes of the two groups were compared. Furthermore, the two groups of pregnant women were stratified according to cervical length (CL) to explore the effects of the two surgical methods on the pregnancy outcomes of CI women with different CL. Results: (1) Related indicators before and during cerclage: there were no complications such as massive hemorrhage, bladder injury and anesthesia accident in the two groups of pregnant women during cerclage. Compared with the LACC group, TVCC group had longer preoperative CL [(2.3±0.6) vs (2.7±0.6) cm], more intraoperative blood loss [(7.5±0.5) vs (14.4±1.4) ml] and longer hospital stay [(6.0±0.1) vs (7.3±0.4) day]. However, the operation time was shorter [(42.9±1.6) vs (25.9±1.4) minute] and the hospitalization cost was less [(9 912±120) vs (5 598±140) yuan], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (2) Pregnancy outcomes: live birth rates were 95.4% (103/108) in the TVCC group and 96.4% (106/110) in the LACC group, showing no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=2.211, P=0.232). The preterm birth rate (12.0%, 13/108) in the TVCC group was higher than that in the LACC group (7.3%, 8/110), the neonatal birth weight was lower than that in the LACC group [(3 006±96) vs (3 225±42) g], and the proportion of low birth weight infants was higher than that in the LACC group [15.5% (16/103) vs 1.9% (2/106)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3) Stratified analysis of CL: for pregnant women with CL<2.0 cm, the miscarriage rate of the TVCC group was higher than that of the LACC group (2/9 vs 3.0%), and the live birth rate was lower than that of the LACC group (7/9 vs 97.0%), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). For CL 2.0-<2.5 cm, 2.5-<3.0 cm, CL≥3.0 cm, there were no statistically significant differences in preterm birth rate and live birth rate between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Modified Shirodkar TVCC is simple and easy to operate, which significantly reduces the cesarean section rate and medical cost compared with LACC, and there is no significant difference in the live birth rate. When there is inevitable late abortion, laparoscopic cerclage removal does not need to be performed again, which could reduce the second operation and is worthy of clinical application.

Abstract
Objectives: To construct a nomogram prediction model using common preoperative indicators for early weight loss (EWL) 1 year after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods: Relevant data of obese patients who had undergone LSG from January 2015 to May 2022 in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital and Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated Fujian Medical University were analyzed. Patients with a history of major abdominal surgery, severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, pregnancy within 1 year after surgery, or who were lost to follow-up were excluded, resulting in a total of 200 patients in the study (190 from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital and 10 from Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated Fujian Medical University). The participants were 51 men and 149 women of a mean age 29.9±8.2 years and a body mass index (BMI) 38.7±6.5 kg/m2. All patients in this group underwent standardized LSG procedure. Achieving ideal weight (BMI≤25 kg/m2) 1 year after LSG was defined as goal of EWL. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors that independently influenced EWL. These factors were incorporated into the nomogram model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (the larger the area under the curve [AUC], the better the predictive ability and accuracy of the model), likelihood ratio test (higher likelihood ratio indicates greater model homogeneity), decision curve analysis (higher net benefit indicates a better model), Akaike information criterion (AIC; smaller AIC indicates a better model), and Bayesian information criterion (BIC; smaller BIC indicates a better model) were used to validate the predictive ability of the column line diagram model. Results: In this study of 200 obese patients who underwent LSG surgery, 136 achieved EWL goal, whereas the remaining 64 did not. The rate of EWL goal achievement of the entire group was 68.0%. Compared with patients who did not achieve EWL goal, those who did had lower BMI, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, triglycerides, and higher cholesterol. Additionally, the proportion of female was higher and the proportions of patients with fatty liver and hypertension lower in those who achieved EWL goal (all P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative BMI (OR=0.852, 95%CI: 0.796-0.912, P<0.001), alanine transaminase (OR=0.992, 95%CI: 0.985-0.999, P=0.024), presence of fatty liver (OR=0.185, 95%CI: 0.038-0.887, P=0.035) and hypertension (OR=0.374, 95%CI: 0.144-0.969, P=0.043) were independently associated with failure to achieve EWL goal. Cholesterol (OR=1.428, 95%CI: 1.052-1.939, P=0.022) was independently associated with achieving EWL goal. We used the above variables to establish an EWL nomogram model. ROC analysis, the likelihood ratio test, decision curve analysis, and AIC all revealed that the predictive value of the model was better than that of BMI alone (nomogram model vs. BMI: area under the curve 0.840 vs. 0.798, P=0.047; likelihood ratio: 58.785 vs. 36.565, AIC: 193.066 vs. 207.063, BIC: 212.856 vs. 213.660). Conclusion: Our predictive model is more accurate in predicting EWL after LSG compared with using BMI.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with severe immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) related myocarditis. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on the 50 patients with ICIs-related myocarditis in the multidisciplinary cardio-oncology clinic of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from April 2020 to April 2022. The age of patients was (63.7±10.8) years old, including 37 males and 13 females. The patients were divided into the mild group (n=37) and the severe group (n=13) according to severity. The differences of basic characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, auxiliary examination, combined irAEs, treatment and outcomes between the two groups of patients were analyzed. Results: The immunotherapy time [M(Q1,Q3)] of patients in the mild group and severe group were 81 (49, 134) and 24 (20, 116) days, respectively (P<0.05). In the severe group, the levels of cTnT [0.605 (0.317, 1.072) μg/L], NT-proBNP [1 126 (386, 1 744) ng/L], CK-MB [78 (48, 238) U/L], and CK-MM [240 (45, 6 543) U/L] were higher than those in the mild group [0.104 (0.045, 0.189) μg/L, 237 (39, 785) ng/L, 24 (20, 33) U/L, 108 (72, 168) U/L, respectively] (all P<0.05). The left ventricular ejection fraction of the severe group [64% (57%, 65%)] was lower than that of the mild group [66% (63%, 69%)] (P<0.05), and the incidence of conduction block (n=4, 4/13) and abnormal ventricular wall motion (n=4, 4/13), the incidence of ICIs-related myositis (n=10, 10/13), ICIs-related hepatitis (n=4, 4/13) and ICIs-related neurotoxicity (n=4, 4/13) were higher than those in the mild group (n=1, 2.7%; n=2, 5.4%; n=16, 43.2%; n=2, 5.4%; n=1, 2.7%, respectively) (all P<0.05). The proportion of patients receiving intensified immunosuppressive therapy and mortality rate in the severe group were 12/13 (n=12) and 4/13 (n=4), which were both higher than those in the mild group [10.8% (n=4) and 0] (both P<0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of ICIs-related myocarditis is not high, but the severe rate and mortality are high. The differential diagnosis of severe ICIs related myocarditis should be combined with myocardial markers, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram, and early diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
This study used machine learning techniques combined with routine blood cell analysis parameters to build preliminary prediction models, helping differentiate patients with depression from healthy controls, or patients with anxiety. A multicenter study was performed by collecting blood cell analysis data of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2020 to 2021. Machine learning techniques, including support vector machine, decision tree, naïve Bayes, random forest and multi-layer perceptron were explored to establish a prediction model of depression. The results showed that based on the blood cell analysis results of healthy controls and depression group, the accuracy of prediction model reached as high as 0.99, F1 was 0.975. Receiver operating characteristic curve area and average accuracy were 0.985 and 0.967, respectively. Platelet parameters contributed mostly to depression prediction model. While, to random forest differential diagnosis model based on the data from depression and anxiety groups, prediction accuracy reached 0.68 and AUC 0.622. Age, platelet parameters, and average volume of red blood cells contributed the most to the model. In conclusion, the study researched on the prediction model of depression by exploring blood cell analysis parameters, revealing that machine learning models were more objective in the evaluation of mental illness.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the oncological outcomes of active surveillance (AS) in patients showing thyroid nodules measuring≤1 cm with highly suspicious ultrasound features. Methods: A prospective single-center cohort study. A total of 534 patients with highly suspicious thyroid nodules (2015 American Thyroid Association Nodule Sonographic Patterns and Risk of Malignancy: High Suspicion) were enrolled in this study, the patients received AS at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2017 and November 2022 to assess oncological outcomes (disease progression, recurrence/metastasis rate, etc). The patients were followed up every 6 months for physical examination and neck ultrasound examination. And the value of tumor volume changes in evaluating tumor enlargement was explored too. Results: There were 413 females and 121 males in this cohort, with a mean age of (42.6±11.8) years. During a median follow-up period of 45.6 months (ranged from 3.5 to 176.0 months), disease progression occurred in 26 patients (4.9%) with highly suspicious thyroid nodules, characterized by a minimum 3-mm increase in tumor diameter in 19 patients (3.6%) and lymph node metastases in 7 patients (1.3%). Forty-seven (8.8%) patients opted for delayed surgery, with 29 patients due to a change in preference. There was no significant differences in pathologic and follow-up outcomes between patients with disease progression and preference change. Patients aged≤40 years had a higher cumulative incidence of 5-year disease progression than those aged>40 years (4.9% vs 1.9%, P=0.060). No patients experienced distant metastases or deaths. Among the 595 high-risk thyroid nodules with continuous volume assessment results and an increase in nodule diameter of less than 3 mm (including all high-risk nodules in patients with single or multiple nodules), 184 (30.9%) and 79 (13.3%) nodules exhibited volume increases of more than 50% and 100%, respectively, in multiple measurements. Among the nodules with volume changes exceeding 50% and 100%, the proportion of nodules with a baseline tumor diameter of≤0.5 cm was significantly higher than those with a diameter of>0.5 cm, at 69.0% vs 31.0% (P<0.001) and 77.2% vs 22.8% (P<0.001), respectively. Conclusions: Active surveillance in patients with highly suspicious subcentimeter thyroid nodules has good short-term oncological outcomes and can be considered a safe alternative to surgery. Due to the large variability in the measurement results of tumor volume, it is not suitable as an indicator for evaluating tumor enlargement.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in the treatment of neuroendocrine neoplasm liver metastases (NENLM), analyze the prognosis and related factors. Methods: Clinical data of NENLM patients treated with TAE in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2018 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse event rate after TAE were evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors and the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. The prognosis was evaluated by median overall survival (mOS) and median progression-free survival (mPFS). The survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze prognostic factors. Results: A total of 39 NENLM patients were included in this study, aged (53.3±10.3) (23-74) years old, including 23 males and 16 females. Among them, 9 cases had functional neuroendocrine neoplasms. There were 31 cases with primary sites locating in the digestive system, 32 cases with WHO G1 and G2 primary sites, 27 cases with abundant blood supply for liver metastases and 13 cases with liver tumor load >50%. Thirty patients received treatment of long-acting somatostatin analogue(SSA). A total of 123 TAE were performed in 39 cases, with an ORR of 38.5% (15/39) and a DCR of 76.9% (30/39). There were no serious adverse events of level 4-5 during the perioperative period. The median follow-up was 38.7 (95%CI: 31.3-46.1) months, with mOS of 37.3(95%CI: 27.0-47.5) months and mPFS of 12.6 (95%CI: 7.1-18.1) months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis found that the combination of long-term SSA treatment was an influencing factor for overall survival of patients (HR=0.207, 95%CI: 0.076-0.567, P=0.002). Conclusions: TAE can effectively reduce the load of liver metastases in patients with NENLM, and the combination of long-term SSA treatment can improve the ovreall survival of patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the associations between the renalase single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs2576178 and rs10887800 and the risk of hypertension in OSA patients. Methods: A total of 3, 570 male OSA subjects diagnosed via standard polysomnography were included in this retrospective study. We recorded anthropometric, genomic, and polysomnographic parameters and blood pressure levels. All subjects were divided into four groups based on quartiles of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The relationships between rs2576178 and rs10887800 and the risk of hypertension were evaluated using the binary logistic regression, and haplotype analysis. Results: In the bottom AHI quartile, rs10887800 was significantly associated with the risk of hypertension according to the dominant model [odds ratio(OR)=0.691, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.483-0.990, P=0.044] even after adjustment for age, sex, and the body mass index. The G-A haplotype was associated with a co-effect of the two SNPs, namely, the risk of hypertension decreased (OR=0.879, 95%CI=0.784-0.986, P=0.028). Conclusions: We find no association between single rs2576178 or rs10887800 variants with the risk of hypertension in our OSA population. But, the synergistic effect of the two polymorphisms is associated with the risk of hypertension in OSA patients.

Abstract
Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) is a highly aggressive malignant subtype of inflammatory myofibroblastoma (IMT) associated with poor prognosis. IMT can occur in various parts of the body, most frequently in the lungs, followed by the mesentery, omentum, retroperitoneum, and pelvis, among other areas; however, it is exceptionally rare in the stomach. Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a critical driver of lung cancer development and is currently the "gold standard" target for non-small cell lung cancer treatment. However, there are few reports on the use of ALK inhibitors for EIMS, necessitating further investigation. A male patient with postoperative inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma of the stomach received postoperative chemotherapy and had a stable outcome. However, a repeat CT scan performed 11 months later revealed disease progression. The patient later underwent immunohistochemistry testing that indicated ALK positivity, and next-generation sequencing revealed STRN-ALK fusion. Ensartinib 225 mg qd was administered as recommended, and the patient experienced only mild pruritus and no adverse effects such as rash. Eight months after CT follow-up, the patient's subseptal soft tissue nodules had decreased, and the outcome was assessed as a partial response. The findings of this case report introduce a novel strategy for treating ALK-positive EIMS that utilizes ensartinib, a drug with previously demonstrated success in the treatment of ALK-positive cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To retrospectively investigate the safety and efficacy of radiotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy for recurrent metastatic renal pelvic and ureteral carcinoma. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 109 patients were enrolled in this study, including 44 patients in the Radio-chemotherapy group and 65 patients in the Chemotherapy group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the clinical baseline characteristics of the two groups by 1:1 matching. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) before and after matching. Prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox proportional risk model. Treatment-related adverse events were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 14.5 months. Multivariate analysis showed that radiotherapy was a good independent prognostic factor for OS in patients with recurrent metastatic renal pelvic and ureteral carcinoma (HR: 0.327, 95% CI: 0.157∼0.680, P = 0.003). After matching, there were 40 patients in the Radio-chemotherapy group and 40 patients in the Chemotherapy group, and the median PFS and median OS in the Radio-chemotherapy group were better than those in the Chemotherapy group (PFS: 10.4 months vs. 6.7 months, P = 0.035; OS: 43.5 months vs. 18.8 months, P<0.001). The 1-year OS and 2-year OS of the Radio-chemotherapy group were higher than those of the Chemotherapy group (1-year OS: 88.1% vs. 70.4%; 2-year OS: 81.1% vs. 39.3%). In addition, in the Radio-chemotherapy group, patients treated with radiotherapy before first-line chemotherapy failure had longer PFS than those treated with radiotherapy after chemotherapy failure (median PFS: 15.7 months vs. 6 months, P = 0.003). There was no significant difference in the incidence of grade 3∼4 toxicities between the Radio-chemotherapy group and the Chemotherapy group (52.3% vs. 50.8%, P = 0.878). CONCLUSION For patients with advanced renal pelvic and ureteral carcinoma, adding radiotherapy on the basis of systemic chemotherapy is well tolerable and expected to bring long-term survival benefits to patients, and the benefits of early interventional radiotherapy may be more obvious.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Gleason grade group 5 (GG5) prostate cancers is aggressive with high metastatic rates and is not sensitive to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Even the presence of a limited (tertiary) Gleason pattern 5 component may have high aggressive biological behavior. This study aims to prospectively evaluate whether a non-androgen receptor pathway therapy - adjuvant chemotherapy could improve clinical outcomes among non-metastatic prostate cancer with the above highly malignant characters. MATERIALS/METHODS This prospective non-randomized clinical trial included non-metastatic prostate cancer patients with pathologically proven Gleason score of 9-10 or tertiary Gleason pattern 5. Each subject was allowed to decide whether to receive four to six cycles chemotherapy of docetaxel after receiving a standard treatment (i.e., radical surgery ± radiotherapy or radical radiotherapy combined with long-term ADT). The primary endpoint was event-free survival (EFS). Event was defined as any of biochemical failure or imaging failure, or change of systemic therapy due to PSA arises, or death. The secondary end points were distant metastasis-free survival (MFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse events. RESULTS A total of 188 consecutive patients were enrolled from November 2019 to November 2022. Median prostate-specific antigen was 26.6 ng/ml. 52% had T3b to T4 disease, 27% had N1 disease. 140 patients received standard therapy only, and 48 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy after radical therapy. The median follow-up time was 18.4 (3.0-36.7) months. The estimated 36-month EFS of the chemotherapy group and the control group were 94.7% vs. 72.8% (p = 0.044). There were 1 event who added novel endocrine therapy in the chemotherapy group, and 21 events in the control group, including 6 cases of biochemical recurrence and 9 cases of lymph node and distant metastasis, 4 cases that changed systemic therapy and 2 cases died. The MFS of the two groups at 36 months were 100% and 90.7%, respectively (P = 0.143). After the 1:1 propensity score match, the EFS and MFS of the two groups were 94.7% and 80.8% (P = 0.069), and 100% and 93.1% (P = 0.132), respectively. The urinary toxicity of grade 2 and 3 in the chemotherapy group and the control group were 4.2% and 7.1% (P = 0.134) while the grade 2 rectal toxicity were 5.0% and 10.4% (P = 0.317), respectively. No grade 4 toxicity occurred. Considering the chemotherapy-related side effects, grade 3 or above toxicity were leukopenia (41.7%), alopecia (27.1%), thrombocytopenia (2.1%) and edema (2.1%). CONCLUSION Results of this interim analysis shows that the addition of adjuvant chemotherapy after standard radical therapy tends to improve the overall recurrence and metastasis free survival of patients with highly malignant prostate cancer, and the adverse effects are tolerable, which should be confirmed by long-term follow-up results.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the status of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and their correlation with the number of hospitalizations within 1 year in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF). Methods: This study is a prospective investigation. Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated in the Department of Cardiology of the Third People's Hospital of Yancheng from May 2020 to April 2021 were selected. General information and AF6 questionnaire were used to define PROs. The number of hospitalizations within 1 year after discharge was obtained. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between PROs and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the number of hospitalizations in AF patients within 1 year. Results: A total of 197 patients were enrolled, the mean age was (74.1±9.0) years, 106 (53.8%) patients were female. The mean AF6 score was (24.3±8.3). The proportion of patients with 6 entries≥1 point exceeded 50%. There was a positive correlation between NYHA classification and PROs (r=0.360, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the older age (OR=1.058, P=0.004) and the AF6 scores≥24(OR=4.082, P<0.001) were the risk factors of rehospitalization within 1 year for AF patients. Conclusions: The PROs of AF patients are at the medium level and poor levels of PROs are associated with increased risk of rehospitalization within 1 year.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test. Methods: This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ (2) test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results: After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea (Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic metabolic stress liver injury due to chronic malnutrition in genetically susceptible individuals. With the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, NAFLD has become the world's number one chronic liver disease, and the flaws of forty years of exclusive disease diagnostic criteria and stigmatized disease terminology are becoming increasingly prominent. To this end, in the past three years, the international consensus group and the three major hepatology societies have suggested that NAFLD be renamed metabolism-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and metabolism-associated steatosis liver disease (MASLD). Here is a description of the background of naming NAFLD, MAFLD, and MASLD, the similarities and differences of the three terms, the existing disputes, and our country's coping strategies.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association of different obesity measurement indexes on serum C-reactive protein (CRP) in Chinese adult women. Methods: The data were obtained from baseline and follow-up surveys of the urban Breast Cancer Screening Program in Shuangliu District, Chengdu. A total of 441 adult women were included in the study. A questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory testing were conducted on the subjects. Multivariate logistic regression model, two-level mixed effects logistic regression model, and restricted cubic spline method were used to investigate the linear and nonlinear correlation between different obesity measurement indexes and serum CRP in adult women. Results: For every 1 unit increase in BMI, waist circumference (WC), and adiposity, the risk of elevated serum CRP or exacerbation of chronic low-grade inflammation in adult women increased by 16.5%, 5.0%, and 11.1% (P<0.05), respectively. Both BMI and adiposity were nonlinear correlated with serum CRP. Using BMI=24.0 kg/m2 as the reference point, serum CRP level increased with the increase of BMI when BMI >24.0 kg/m2. Using adiposity=30% as the reference point, serum CRP level increased with the increase of adiposity when adiposity >30%. Conclusions: Overall, obesity reflected by BMI had the strongest association with serum CRP in adult women, followed by body fat content reflected by adiposity, and central obesity reflected by WC had the weakest association with CRP. Adult women with BMI >24.0 kg/m2 or adiposity >30% are at high risk for obesity-related inflammatory manifestations.

Abstract
Wound is a common surgical disease characterized by skin defect or functional limitation. Studies have found that acupuncture-moxibustion plays an important role in wound healing. In this paper, we reviewed the mechanisms of acupuncture-moxibustion in promoting wound repair. Outcomes display that acupuncture-moxibustion has an action in promoting wound restoration by improving wound flow perfusion, promoting angiogenesis, increasing the number of fibroblasts and regulating collagen synthesis. In addition, acupuncture can effectively promote wound healing by controlling the release of inflammatory cytokines, up-regulating the expression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor-β1, and affecting phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B, mitogen-activated protein kinase and advanced glycation end products/receptor for AGEs signaling pathways. Based on the above studies, it is highly recommended that future studies should pay more attention to the multi-mechanism coordinated regulation target center, and the therapeutic means and dose-effect relationship of acupuncture-moxibustion in tissue repair.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the influence of pH value on tube formation of human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) and study its molecular mechanism, so as to provide theoretical basis for the study of promoting angiogenesis in the process of wound healing. Methods: The experimental study methods were applied. HDMECs of 4 or 5 passages in the logarithmic growth phase were collected for experiments. Culture mediums with pH values of 6.4, 6.6, 6.8, 7.0, 7.2, 7.4, 7.6, and 7.8 were prepared, and the cells were adaptively cultured (the same culture method below) for 24 h before further experiments being carried out. After another 36 h of culture, the relative fluorescence value of cytoplasmic pH value was measured by flow cytometry, and the correlation analysis between the relative fluorescence value of cytoplasmic pH value and the medium pH value was carried out. After another 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, and 5.5 days of culture, the cell proliferation activity was detected with cell counting kit 8. OrisTM cell migration detection kit was used to detect the remaining area of cell migration at 0 (immediately), 24, and 48 h after removing the cell seeding stopper. Three-dimensional stromal gel cell tube formation experiment was carried out to detect the lumen diameter of tube formed by cells after another 48 h of culture. The protein expressions of phosphorylation sites 473 and 308 of protein kinase B (Akt) were detected by Western blotting after another 48 h of culture. The sample number was 3. Data were statistically analyzed with Pearson correlation analysis, one-way analysis of variance, analysis of variance for factorial design, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, and Bonferroni correction. Results: After another 36 h of culture, the relative fluorescence values of cytoplasmic pH value of cells cultured in pH 6.8-7.8 mediums were significantly higher than the level in pH 6.4 medium (P<0.05); compared with those in pH 6.6-7.0 mediums, the relative fluorescence values of cytoplasmic pH value of cells cultured in pH 7.4-7.8 mediums were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the relative fluorescence value of cytoplasmic pH value of cells cultured in pH 6.6 medium was significantly lower than that in pH 7.0 or 7.2 mediun (with P values all <0.05); the relative fluorescence values of cytoplasmic pH value of cells cultured in pH 7.6 and 7.8 mediums were significantly higher than those in pH 7.2 and 7.4 mediums (P<0.05). The relative fluorescence value of cytoplasmic pH value was significantly positively correlated with the medium pH value (r=0.99, P<0.05). The proliferation activity was similar among cells cultured in 8 mediums of different pH values for another 1.5 days (P>0.05). After another 2.5 days of culture, the proliferation activity of cells cultured in pH 6.4-6.8 mediums was significantly decreased compared with that in pH 7.6 medium (P<0.05). After another 3.5 days of culture, the proliferation activity of cells cultured in pH 7.0-7.8 mediums was significantly higher than that in pH 6.4-6.8 mediums (P<0.05); compared with that in pH 7.6 medium, the proliferation activity of cells cultured in pH 7.0-7.4 and 7.8 mediums was significantly decreased (P<0.05). After another 4.5 or 5.5 days of culture, the proliferation activity of cells cultured in pH 6.8-7.8 mediums was significantly higher than that in pH 6.4 medium (P<0.05); compared with that in pH 6.6 and 6.8 mediums, the proliferation activity of cells cultured in pH 7.0-7.8 mediums was significantly increased (P<0.05). After another 4.5 days of culture, the proliferation activity of cells cultured in pH 7.6 medium was significantly higher than that in pH 7.0 medium (P<0.05). After another 5.5 days of culture, the proliferation activity of cells cultured in pH 7.2-7.6 mediums was significantly increased compared with that in pH 7.0 medium (P<0.05); the proliferation activity of cells cultured in pH 7.2 and 7.4 mediums was significantly lower than that in pH 7.6 medium (with P values all <0.05) but significantly higher than that in pH 7.6 medium (with P values all <0.05). Immediately after removing the cell seeding stopper, the remaining migration areas were similar among cells cultured in 8 mediums of different pH values (P>0.05). At 24 h after removing the cell seeding stopper, the remaining migration areas of cells cultured in pH 6.6-7.8 mediums were significantly smaller than the area in pH 6.4 medium (P<0.05); compared with those in pH 6.6 and 6.8 mediums, the remaining migration areas of cells cultured in pH 7.0 to 7.6 mediums were significantly reduced (P<0.05). At 48 h after removing the cell seeding stopper, compared with those in pH 6.4 and 6.6 mediums, the remaining migration areas of cells cultured in pH 7.0-7.8 mediums were significantly reduced (P<0.05); the remaining migration areas of cells cultured in pH 7.2 and 7.4 mediums were significantly smaller than those in pH 6.8, 7.0, and 7.8 mediums (P<0.05) but significantly larger than the area in pH 7.6 medium (P<0.05); the remaining migration area of cells cultured in pH 7.6 medium was significantly smaller than that in pH 6.8 or 7.8 medium (with P values all <0.05). After another 48 h of culture, the lumen diameters of tubes formed by cells cultured in pH 7.0, 7.2, 7.4, 7.6, and 7.8 mediums were (5.0±0.5), (7.6±0.9), (8.5±0.7), (11.0±0.8), and (5.3±0.8) μm, respectively, which were significantly longer than (2.8±0.8) μm in pH 6.4 medium (P<0.05); the lumen diameters of tubes formed by cells cultured in pH 6.6 ((4.2±0.3) μm), 6.8 ((4.5±0.6) μm), 7.0, and 7.8 mediums were significantly shorter than the diameter in pH 7.6 medium (P<0.05). After another 48 h of culture, compared with those in pH 6.4 and 6.6 mediums, the protein expressions of Akt phosphorylation sites 473 and 308 of cells cultured in pH 6.8 to 7.8 mediums were significantly increased (P<0.05). Moreover, the protein expression of Akt phosphorylation site 308 of cells cultured in pH 6.6 medium was significantly higher than that in pH 6.4 medium (P<0.05); compared with the expression in pH 6.8 medium, the protein expressions of Akt phosphorylation site 473 of cells cultured in pH 7.0 and 7.4-7.8 mediums were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with the expression in pH 7.6 medium, the protein expressions of Akt phosphorylation site 473 of cells cultured in pH 7.0-7.4 and 7.8 mediums were significantly decreased (P<0.05); compared with the expression in pH 7.8 medium, the protein expressions of Akt phosphorylation site 308 of cells cultured in pH 7.0 to 7.6 mediums were significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusions: pH value can regulate the lumen diameter of HDMEC-formed capillaries, which is closely related to the activation of Akt. 7.2-7.6 is the appropriate pH value for constructing tissue engineered capillaries.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the spontaneous nystagmus (SN) and the frequency characteristics of affected semicircular canals in patients with vestibular neuritis (VN). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 61 patients with VN admitted to the Department of Neurology of Shanxi Bethune Hospital from June 2020 to October 2021, 39 were male and 22 were female, with a mean age of (46±13) years old and male to female ratio of 1.77∶1. According to SN characteristics, 61 patients were divided into non-nystagmus group(nSN), horizontal nystagmus group(hSN) and horizontal-torsional nystagmus group (htSN). Clinical data were collected, and SN, unilateral weakness (UW), directional preponderance (DP), and video head impulse test (vHIT) gain were used as observation indicators. Statistical analysis by SPSS23.0 software. Normal distributed quantitative data (age, semicircular canal gain, SN intensity) were expressed by x¯±s, non-normal distributed quantitative data (disease course, UW, DP) were expressed by M(Q1,Q3), qualitative data were expressed by rate and composition ratio, difference analysis by one-way ANOVA, rank sum test, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method, considered by P value<0.05. Results: (1)The disease course of nSN, hSN and htSN was 7.0 (4.0, 12.5), 6.0 (3.5, 11.5), and 3.0 (2.0, 6.5) days respectively, and there were statistical differences (χ2=7.31,P=0.026).(2)The horizontal nystagmus intensity of htSN was (16.8±8.6)°/s, which was significantly higher than that of (9.8±4.7)°/s in hSN (t=3.71, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the positive rate of UW between the three groups (P=0.690), and there was a significant difference in the positive rate of DP in the three groups (χ2=12.23, P=0.002). The horizontal nystagmor intensity in the htSN was positively correlated with the vertical nystagmus intensity (r=0.59, P=0.001).(3)The gain of the affected horizontal canal of the three groups was statistically different (F=8.28, P=0.001), and the gain of the horizontal canal of hSN and htSN was significantly lower than that of nSN (t=2.74, P=0.008; t=4.05, P<0.001); The gain of the affected anterior canal in the three groups was statistically different (F=5.32, P=0.008). The gain of the anterior canal in both nSN and hSN was significantly higher than that in htSN (t=3.09, P=0.003; t=2.15, P=0.036). The horizontal canal gain of htSN is positively correlated with the anterior canal gain (r=0.74, P<0.001).(4)The affected semicircular canals in the two groups with no-vertical-component nystagmus (nSN and hSN) and the htSN were counted. The composition ratio of the affected semicircular canals in the two groups was different (χ2=8.34, P=0.015). Conclusion: The occurrence of SN in patients with VN is related to many factors, such as the disease course, low and high frequencies, and the severity of the condition in the affected semicircular canal.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of polyetheretherketone, zirconium dioxide, and titanium abutment materials on the expression of genes and proteins related to hemidesmosome adhesion in human gingival epithelial cells, in order to screen out abutment materials that are easier for epithelial adhesion. Methods: Forty-eight specimens were prepared in each of the three materials, polyetheretherketone, zirconium oxide, and pure titanium specimens. The surface morphology of each group of specimens was observed by scanning electron microscopy, the surface roughness was measured by the white light interferometer, and the contact angle was measured by optical contact angle measuring instrument. The early adhesion status of human gingival epithelial cells on the surface of each group of specimens was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the proliferation ability of human gingival epithelial cells on the surface of each group of specimens was assessed by using a cell counting kit, and the expression levels of genes and proteins related to the adhesion of human gingival epithelial cells on the surface of each group of specimens were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results: The surface morphology of the three groups of specimens was flat and smooth. The mean roughness (Ra value) of the polyetheretherketone, zirconia, and pure titanium groups were (95.63±2.06), (37.93±3.56), and (134.2±4.62) nm (F=368.16, P<0.001), respectively, and the mean maximum height (Rz value) was (2.42±0.22), (0.87±0.10) and (3.77±0.28) nm (F=91.95, P<0.001), with statistical significance (P<0.05). The contact angles were 81.23°±0.91°, 82.08°±2.10°, and 80.47°±1.85°, respectively, with no statistically significant overall difference (F=0.45, P=0.658). Human gingival epithelial cells showed irregular shapes such as flattened and extended polygons and polygons on the surface of the three groups of specimens, exhibiting a typical paving stone pattern. The differences in cell proliferation among the three groups at 1 and 3 d of culture were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Cell proliferation in the polyetheretherketone group was significantly greater those those in the zirconia and pure titanium groups at 5 and 7 d of culture (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels and protein expression levels of laminin α3, integrin β4, and collagen ⅩⅦ in the polyetheretheretherketone group at 3 and 7 d of incubation were significantly greater than those in the zirconium oxide and pure titanium groups at the same time points (P<0.05). Conclusions: Polyetheretherketone is more conducive to the adhesion of hemidesmosome in human gingival epithelial cells than zirconium dioxide and pure titanium abutment materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphonates are the main components in the global phosphorus redox cycle. Little is known about phosphonate metabolism in freshwater ecosystems, although rapid consumption of phosphonates has been observed frequently. Cyanobacteria are often the dominant primary producers in freshwaters; yet, only a few strains of cyanobacteria encode phosphonate-degrading (C-P lyase) gene clusters. The phycosphere is defined as the microenvironment in which extensive phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria interactions occur. It has been demonstrated that phytoplankton may recruit phycospheric bacteria based on their own needs. Therefore, the establishment of a phycospheric community rich in phosphonate-degrading-bacteria likely facilitates cyanobacterial proliferation, especially in waters with scarce phosphorus. We characterized the distribution of heterotrophic phosphonate-degrading bacteria in field Microcystis bloom samples and in laboratory cyanobacteria "phycospheres" by qPCR and metagenomic analyses. The role of phosphonate-degrading phycospheric bacteria in cyanobacterial proliferation was determined through coculturing of heterotrophic bacteria with an axenic Microcystis aeruginosa strain and by metatranscriptomic analysis using field Microcystis aggregate samples. RESULTS Abundant bacteria that carry C-P lyase clusters were identified in plankton samples from freshwater Lakes Dianchi and Taihu during Microcystis bloom periods. Metagenomic analysis of 162 non-axenic laboratory strains of cyanobacteria (consortia cultures containing heterotrophic bacteria) showed that 20% (128/647) of high-quality bins from eighty of these consortia encode intact C-P lyase clusters, with an abundance ranging up to nearly 13%. Phycospheric bacterial phosphonate catabolism genes were expressed continually across bloom seasons, as demonstrated through metatranscriptomic analysis using sixteen field Microcystis aggregate samples. Coculturing experiments revealed that although Microcystis cultures did not catabolize methylphosphonate when axenic, they demonstrated sustained growth when cocultured with phosphonate-utilizing phycospheric bacteria in medium containing methylphosphonate as the sole source of phosphorus. CONCLUSIONS The recruitment of heterotrophic phosphonate-degrading phycospheric bacteria by cyanobacteria is a hedge against phosphorus scarcity by facilitating phosphonate availability. Cyanobacterial consortia are likely primary contributors to aquatic phosphonate mineralization, thereby facilitating sustained cyanobacterial growth, and even bloom maintenance, in phosphate-deficient waters.

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

Abstract
Objective: To preliminarily analyze the application experience of veno-arterio-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VAV-ECMO).The VAV-ECMO is a rescue strategy for patients with extremely critical respiratory failure combined with refractory shock. Methods: From February 2016 to February 2022, the characteristics and outcomes of patients who were started on either veno-venous or veno-arterial ECMO due to respiratory or hemodynamic failure, and then converted to VAV-ECMO in respiratory intensive care unit (ICU) of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were analyzed. Results: A total of 15 patients underwent VAV-ECMO, aged 53 (40, 65) years, and 11 of whom were male. Within the group, VV-ECMO was initially used in 12 patients due to respiratory failure, but then VAV-ECMO was used due to cardiogenic shock (7/12) and septic shock (4/12), while VAV-ECMO was established in two patients due to lung transplantation. One patient was diagnosed with pneumonia complicated by septic shock, which was initially determined to be VA-ECMO, but then switched to VAV-ECMO because it was difficult to maintain oxygenation. The time from the establishment of VV or VA-ECMO to the switch to VAV-ECMO was 3 (1, 5) days and the VAV-ECMO support time was 5 (2, 8) days. ECMO-related complications were bleeding, mostly in the digestive tract (n=4) and airway hemorrhage (n=4), without intracranial hemorrhage, and poor arterial perfusion of the lower limbs (n=2). Among these 15 patients, the overall ICU mortality was 53.3%. The mortality of patients who received VAV-ECMO due to septic shock and cardiogenic shock was 100% (4/4) and 42.8% (3/7), respectively. Two patients who received VAV-ECMO due to lung transplantation all survived. Conclusion: VAV-ECMO may be a safe and effective treatment for carefully selected patients with critical respiratory failure associated with cardiogenic shock or end-stage lung disease lung transplantation transition, however, patients with septic shock may benefit the least.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation has been recommended as an alternative to surgery for benign thyroid nodules. However, little is known about the benefit from the application of radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules in elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of radiofrequency ablation versus thyroidectomy for elderly patients with benign thyroid nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 230 elderly patients (60 years of age or older) with benign thyroid nodules treated with radiofrequency ablation (R group, n = 49) or thyroidectomy (T group, n = 181). Complications, thyroid function, and treatment variables, including procedural time, estimated blood loss, hospitalization, and cost, were compared after propensity score matching. The volume, volume reduction rate, symptoms, and cosmetic score were also evaluated in the R group. RESULTS After 1:1 matching, each group had 49 elderly patients. The rate of overall complications and hypothyroidism was 26.5% and 20.4% in the T group, respectively, but these complications were totally absent from the R group (P < .001, P = .001). Patients in the R group had a significantly shorter procedural time (median, 4.8 versus 95.0 minutes, P < .001) and lower cost (US $1979.02 versus US $2208.80, P = .013) than those treated by thyroidectomy. After radiofrequency ablation, the volume reduction rate was 94.1%, and 12.2% of nodules had completely disappeared. The symptom and cosmetic scores were both significantly reduced at the last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Radiofrequency ablation could be considered as a first-line treatment for elderly patients with benign thyroid nodules.

Abstract
The present study collected data on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) compounds effective in relieving pain from the patent database of the State Intellectual Property Office(SIPO), sorted out the TCM compounds against pain in patents, and analyzed the medication rules to provide references for the research and development of new TCM drugs against pain. The data were subjected to frequency statistics, association rules, cluster analysis, and complex network analysis by IBM SPSS Modeler 18.3 and SPSS Statistical 26.0. The results showed that among the 101 oral prescriptions included in the statistics, the top 5 drugs were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and among the 49 external prescriptions included in the statistics, the top 5 drugs were Myrrha, Olibanum, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Borneolum Syntheticum, and Chuanxiong Rhizoma. Whether oral or external prescriptions, the drugs were mainly warm in nature, and bitter, pungent, and sweet in flavor. According to TCM complex network analysis, the core drugs were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, and Chuanxiong Rhizoma in oral prescriptions, and Olibanum, Myrrha, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, and Angelicae Sinensis Radix in external prescriptions. Overall, the therapeutic principles of oral prescriptions were mainly replenishing Qi, nourishing blood, and promoting Qi and blood circulation, while those of external prescriptions were activating blood, resolving stasis, promoting Qi flow, and relieving pain on the basis of the oral prescriptions. In the future research and development of TCM compounds against pain, the prescriptions should be modified with mind-tranquilizing and depression-relieving drugs. With the modernization of TCM, the development of new pain-relieving TCM compound patents based on ancient methods and clinical experience adhering to the guidance of TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation can meet the new demand for pain treatment in the current society and give full play to the advantages of TCM in pain treatment.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the oxidative stress-protective effect of crocetin on H2O2-mediated H9c2 myocardial cells through in vitro experiments, and further explore whether its mechanism is related to the impact of mitophagy. This study also aimed to demonstrate the therapeutic effect of safflower acid on oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes and explore whether its mechanism is related to the effect of mitophagy. Here, an H2O2-based oxidative stress model was constructed and assessed the degree of oxidative stress injury of cardiomyocytes by detecting the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH Px). Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-detecting fluorescent dye DCFH-DA, JC-1 dye, and TUNEL dye were employed to assess mitochondrial damage and apoptosis. Autophagic flux was measured by transfecting Ad-mCherry-GFP-LC3B adenovirus. Mitophagy-related proteins were then detected via western blotting and immunofluorescence. However, crocetin (0.1-10 µM) could significantly improve cell viability and reduce apoptosis and oxidative stress damage caused by H2O2. In cells with excessive autophagic activation, crocetin could also reduce autophagy flow and the expression of mitophagy-related proteins PINK1 and Parkin, and reverse the transfer of Parkin to mitochondria. Crocetin could reduce H2O2-mediated oxidative stress damage and the apoptosis of H9c2 cells, and its mechanism was closely related to mitophagy.
