Abstract
BACKGROUND Lip squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) was one of the most common cancer types of head and neck tumors. This study aimed to find more predictors of the prognosis in postoperative LSCC patients. METHODS A total of 147 LSCC patients between June 2012 and June 2018 were collected from two tertiary care institutions. There were 21 clinicopathological factors included and analyzed in our study. The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to find the independent prognostic factors for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in postoperative LSCC patients. The role of adjuvant radiotherapy in various subgroups was displayed by Kaplan-Meier plots. RESULTS The 1-, 3-, and 5-year PFS of postoperative LSCC patients were 88.4%, 70.1%, and 57.8%, respectively. Similarly, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS of postoperative LSCC patients were 94.6%, 76.9%, and 69.4%, respectively. The results suggested that postoperative LSCC patients with age at diagnosis ≥ 70 years, grade with moderate or poor differentiate, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage IV, higher systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), surgical margin < 5, and age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) ≥ 5 tend to have a poorer PFS (all P < 0.05). Besides, postoperative LSCC patients with age at diagnosis ≥ 70 years, AJCC stage IV, higher GPS, higher SII, and ACCI ≥ 5 tend to have a worse OS (all P < 0.05). Additionally, postoperative patients with LSCC in the subgroup of ACCI < 5 and AJCC III-IV stage was more likely to benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy, but not for the other subgroups. CONCLUSION We identified a series of significant immune-inflammation-related and comorbidity-related clinicopathological factors associated with the prognosis of postoperative LSCC patients by local data from two tertiary care institutions in China, which can be helpful for patients and surgeons to pay more attention to nutrition, inflammation, and complications and finally obtained a better prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the pathogenic characteristics, bacteriological diagnosis time and its associated factors among patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease in a large tuberculosis-designated hospital in Shanghai from 2020 to 2021, in order to improve diagnosis efficiency and formulate precision treatment. Methods: On the basis of the Tuberculosis Database in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, NTM patients diagnosed by the Department of Tuberculosis between January 2020 and December 2021 were screened. Demographic, clinical and bacterial information were retrospectively collected. Chi-square test, paired-sample nonparametric test and logistic regression model were used to analyze the factors associated with the diagnosis time of NTM lung disease. Results: A total of 294 patients with bacteriologically confirmed NTM lung disease were included in this study, 147 males and 147 females with a median age of 61(46, 69) years. Of them, 227 (77.2%) patients had comorbidity of bronchiectasis. Species identification results showed that Mycobacterium Avium-Intracellulare Complex was the main pathogen of NTM lung disease (56.1%), followed by Mycobacterium kansasii (19.0%) and Mycobacterium abscessus (15.3%). Species such as Mycobacterium xenopi and Mycobacterium malmoense were rarely identified, accounting for a total proportion of only 3.1%. Positive culture rates for sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and puncture fluid were 87.4%, 80.3% and 61.5%, respectively. Paired-sample analysis showed that the positive rate of sputum culture was significantly higher than that of smear microscopy (87.1% vs. 48.4%, P<0.01), while no statistical difference was observed between sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid on positive culture rate (78.7% vs. 77.3%, P>0.05). Patients with cough or expectoration were observed with 4.04-fold (95%CI 1.80-9.05) or 2.95-fold (95%CI 1.34-6.52) higher probability of positive sputum culture, compared to those without. Regarding bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, female or patients with bronchiectasis had a 2.82-fold (95%CI 1.16-6.88) or 2.38-fold (95%CI 1.01-5.63) higher probability to achieve a positive culture. The median time to diagnosis of NTM lung disease was 32 (interquartile range: 26-42) days. The results of multivariable analysis showed that patients with symptom of expectoration (aOR=0.48, 95%CI 0.29-0.80) needed a shorter diagnosis time in comparison with patients without expectoration. With Mycobacterium Avium-Intracellulare Complex as a reference, lung disease caused by Mycobacterium abscessus needed shorter diagnosis time (aOR=0.43, 95%CI 0.21-0.88), whereas those caused by rare NTM species were observed to require a longer diagnosis time (aOR=8.31, 95%CI 1.01-68.6). Conclusion: The main pathogen causing NTM lung disease in Shanghai was Mycobacterium Avium-Intracellulare Complex. Sex, clinical symptoms and bronchiectasis had an impact on the positive rate of mycobacterial culture. The majority of patients in study hospital were timely diagnosed. Clinical symptoms and NTM species were associated with the bacteriological diagnosis time of NTM lung disease.

Abstract
Aims: The selenoprotein S (SELS) gene has been suggested to be an important factor in the development of multiple diseases, including gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the association between the SELS gene rs34713741 polymorphism and risk of GC and CRC is inconclusive. Thus, we aimed to investigate the relationship between this polymorphism and the susceptibility to GC and CRC through a meta-analysis. Materials and Methods: Literature was retrieved through the following electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the strength of the associations of the alleles of rs4713741 locus with the risk of CRC and GC. Results: Seven studies that collectively included 2331 cases and 2233 controls were utilized for this meta-analysis. Under the allelic and dominant models, the T allele of the SELS rs34713741 polymorphism was significantly associated with CRC risk (allelic model: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.08-1.33, p = 0.0004; dominant model: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.10-1.43, p = 0.001). In addition, all of the genetic models (allelic, dominant, and recessive models) identified the rs34713741 T allele as being significantly associated with GC risk (allelic model: OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.30-2.15, p < 0.001; dominant model: OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.25-2.30, p = 0.0006; recessive model: OR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.26-4.50, p = 0.007). Conclusions: The SELS gene rs34713741 T-allele is a highly probable risk factor for both CRC and GC. The results of this study will provide support for using this single nucleotide polymorphism in the diagnosis of GC and CRC.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the role of miR-133 in the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer (GC) cells, and to explore the underlying mechanism.
METHODS The expression of miR-133 and JAK2 mRNA in tissues and cells was detected by qRT-PCR. AGS and MGC-803 cells were transfected with miR-133 mimic (miR-133 group), miR-133 inhibitor (miR-133 inhibitor group), nonspecific inhibitor (inhibitor-NC group), psiCHECK2-JAK2-3 UTR WT vector and miR-133 mimic (JAK2 WT group), psiCHECK2-JAK2-3 UTR MUT vector and miR-133 mimic (JAK2 MUT group), miR-133 mimic and JAK2 (miR-133 + JAK2 group), or miR-133 mimic and pc-DNA 3.1 (miR-133 + vector group) using a liposome-mediated method. Untransfected cells (miR-NC group) were also included as a control. The protein expression of JAK2 was detected by Western blot. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Cell migration and invasion were detected by Transwell assay. The luciferase activity was detected by double luciferase reporter assay.
RESULTS Compared with human paracancerous tissues or normal gastric mucosal cells (GES-1), miR-133 was down-regulated in GC tissues and GC cells (AGS and MGC-803), and JAK2 was highly expressed in GC tissues and AGS and MGC-803 cells (P < 0.05). Overexpression of miR-133 or silencing JAK2 could inhibit cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in GC cells. JAK2 is a target of miR-133, and JAK2 could rescue the inhibitory effect of miR-133 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in GC cells.
CONCLUSION MiR-133 could inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells via mechanisms possibly related to targeting of JAK2, which will provide a new target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of GC.

Abstract
The physical and biomechanical principles that govern undulatory movement on wet surfaces have important applications in physiology, physics, and engineering. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with its highly stereotypical and functionally distinct sinusoidal locomotory gaits, is an excellent system in which to dissect these properties. Measurements of the main forces governing the C. elegans crawling gait on lubricated surfaces have been scarce, primarily due to difficulties in estimating the physical features at the nematode-gel interface. Using kinematic data and a hydrodynamic model based on lubrication theory, we calculate both the surface drag forces and the nematode's bending force while crawling on the surface of agar gels within a preexisting groove. We find that the normal and tangential surface drag coefficients during crawling are ∼222 and 22, respectively, and the drag coefficient ratio is ∼10. During crawling, the calculated internal bending force is time-periodic and spatially complex, exhibiting a phase lag with respect to the nematode's body bending curvature. This phase lag is largely due to viscous drag forces, which are higher during crawling as compared to swimming in an aqueous buffer solution. The spatial patterns of bending force generated during either swimming or crawling correlate well with previously described gait-specific features of calcium signals in muscle. Further, our analysis indicates that one may be able to control the motility gait of C. elegans by judiciously adjusting the magnitude of the surface drag coefficients.

Abstract
The effects of fluid elasticity on the swimming behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans are experimentally investigated by tracking the nematode's motion and measuring the corresponding velocity fields. We find that fluid elasticity hinders self-propulsion. Compared to Newtonian solutions, fluid elasticity leads to up to 35% slower propulsion. Furthermore, self-propulsion decreases as elastic stresses grow in magnitude in the fluid. This decrease in self-propulsion in viscoelastic fluids is related to the stretching of flexible molecules near hyperbolic points in the flow.
