Study of the f_{0}(980) and f_{0}(500) Scalar Mesons through the Decay D_{s}^{+}→π^{+}π^{-}e^{+}ν_{e}

Using e^{+}e^{-} collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.33  fb^{-1} recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226 GeV, we present an analysis of the decay D_{s}^{+}→π^{+}π^{-}e^{+}ν_{e}, where the D_{s}^{+} is produced via the process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{*±}D_{s}^{∓}. We observe the f_{0}(980) in the π^{+}π^{-} system and the branching fraction of the decay D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(980)e^{+}ν_{e} with f_{0}(980)→π^{+}π^{-} measured to be (1.72±0.13_{stat}±0.10_{syst})×10^{-3}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The dynamics of the D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(980)e^{+}ν_{e} decay are studied with the simple pole parametrization of the hadronic form factor and the Flatté formula describing the f_{0}(980) in the differential decay rate, and the product of the form factor f_{+}^{f_{0}}(0) and the c→s Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cs}| is determined for the first time to be f_{+}^{f_{0}}(0)|V_{cs}|=0.504±0.017_{stat}±0.035_{syst}. Furthermore, the decay D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(500)e^{+}ν_{e} is searched for the first time but no signal is found. The upper limit on the branching fraction of D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(500)e^{+}ν_{e}, f_{0}(500)→π^{+}π^{-} decay is set to be 3.3×10^{-4} at 90% confidence level.

Observation of D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}a_{0}(980)^{+} in the Amplitude Analysis of D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η

We perform for the first time an amplitude analysis of the decay D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η and report the observation of the decay D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}a_{0}(980)^{+} using 2.93  fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data taken at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector. As the only W-annihilation-free decay among D to a_{0}(980) pseudoscalar, D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}a_{0}(980)^{+} is the ideal decay in extracting the contributions of the W-emission amplitudes involving a_{0}(980) and to study the final-state interactions. The absolute branching fraction of D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η is measured to be (1.27±0.04_{stat}±0.03_{syst})%. The branching fractions of intermediate processes D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}a_{0}(980)^{+} with a_{0}(980)^{+}→π^{+}η and D^{+}→π^{+}K[over ¯]_{0}^{*}(1430)^{0} with K[over ¯]_{0}^{*}(1430)^{0}→K_{S}^{0}η are measured to be (1.33±0.05_{stat}±0.04_{syst})% and (0.14±0.03_{stat}±0.01_{syst})%, respectively.

Observation of Significant Flavor-SU(3) Breaking in the Kaon Wave Function at 12<Q^{2}<25 GeV^{2} and Discovery of the Charmless Decay ψ(3770)→K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}

We present cross sections for the reaction e^{+}e^{-}→K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0} at center-of-mass energies ranging from 3.51 to 4.95 GeV using data samples collected in the BESIII experiment, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 26.5  fb^{-1}.

[Ophthalmic surgical robot-assisted retinal puncture and injection for submacular hemorrhage caused by polypoid choroidal vasculopathy: a case report]

A 65-year-old man presented with decreased visual acuity in the left eye for 1 month. The diagnosis of hemorrhagic retinal detachment (submacular hemorrhage), which was caused by idiopathic polypoid choroidal vasculopathy, was confirmed by the ultra-wide-angle fundus examination, optical coherence tomography, and B-ultrasound. A vitrectomy combined with an ophthalmic surgical robot-assisted retinal puncture and injection was performed. The recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was injected accurately by the ophthalmic surgical robot between the retinal nerve epithelium and retinal pigment epithelium through a micro-injection needle. During the 2-month follow-up, the subretinal hemorrhage was significantly regressive, the visual acuity of the left eye was improved from hand movement to 0.1, and no other complications were observed.

Investigation of the ΔI=1/2 Rule and Test of CP Symmetry through the Measurement of Decay Asymmetry Parameters in Ξ^{-} Decays

Using (10087±44)×10^{6}  J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, numerous Ξ^{-} and Λ decay asymmetry parameters are simultaneously determined from the process J/ψ→Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+}→Λ(pπ^{-})π^{-}Λ[over ¯](n[over ¯]π^{0})π^{+} and its charge-conjugate channel. The precisions of α_{Λ0} for Λ→nπ^{0} and α[over ¯]_{Λ0} for Λ[over ¯]→n[over ¯]π^{0} compared to world averages are improved by factors of 4 and 1.7, respectively. The ratio of decay asymmetry parameters of Λ→nπ^{0} to that of Λ→pπ^{-}, ⟨α_{Λ0}⟩/⟨α_{Λ-}⟩, is determined to be 0.873±0.012_{-0.010}^{+0.011}, where the first and the second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The ratio is smaller than unity more than 5σ, which signifies the existence of the ΔI=3/2 transition in Λ for the first time. Besides, we test for CP symmetry in Ξ^{-}→Λπ^{-} and in Λ→nπ^{0} with the best precision to date.

Observation of D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}μ^{+}ν_{μ}, Precision Test of Lepton Flavor Universality with D_{s}^{+}→η^{(')}l^{+}ν_{l}, and First Measurements of D_{s}^{+}→η^{(')}μ^{+}ν_{μ} Decay Dynamics

By analyzing 7.33  fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226 GeV with the BESIII detector, we report the observation of the semileptonic decay D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}μ^{+}ν_{μ}, with a statistical significance larger than 10σ, and the measurements of the D_{s}^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ} and D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}μ^{+}ν_{μ} decay dynamics for the first time. The branching fractions of D_{s}^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ} and D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}μ^{+}ν_{μ} are determined to be (2.235±0.051_{stat}±0.052_{syst})% and (0.801±0.055_{stat}±0.028_{syst})%, respectively, with precision improved by factors of 6.0 and 6.6 compared to the previous best measurements. Combined with the results for the decays D_{s}^{+}→ηe^{+}ν_{e} and D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}e^{+}ν_{e}, the ratios of the decay widths are examined both inclusively and in several ℓ^{+}ν_{ℓ} four-momentum transfer ranges. No evidence for lepton flavor universality violation is found within the current statistics. The products of the hadronic form factors f_{+,0}^{η^{(')}}(0) and the c→s Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cs}| are determined. The results based on the two-parameter series expansion are f_{+,0}^{η}(0)|V_{cs}|=0.452±0.010_{stat}±0.007_{syst} and f_{+,0}^{η^{'}}(0)|V_{cs}|=0.504±0.037_{stat}±0.012_{syst}, which help to constrain present models on f_{+,0}^{η^{(')}}(0). The forward-backward asymmetries are determined to be ⟨A_{FB}^{η}⟩=-0.059±0.031_{stat}±0.005_{syst} and ⟨A_{FB}^{η^{'}}⟩=-0.064±0.079_{stat}±0.006_{syst} for the first time, which are consistent with the theoretical calculation.

Determination of the Σ^{+} Timelike Electromagnetic Form Factors

Based on data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the process e^{+}e^{-}→Σ^{+}Σ[over ¯]^{-} is studied at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=2.3960, 2.6454, and 2.9000 GeV. Using a fully differential angular description of the final state particles, both the relative magnitude and phase information of the Σ^{+} electromagnetic form factors in the timelike region are extracted. The relative phase between the electric and magnetic form factors is determined to be sinΔΦ=-0.67±0.29(stat)±0.18(syst) at sqrt[s]=2.3960  GeV, ΔΦ=55°±19°(stat)±14°(syst) at sqrt[s]=2.6454  GeV, and 78°±22°(stat)±9°(syst) at sqrt[s]=2.9000  GeV. For the first time, the phase of the hyperon electromagnetic form factors is explored in a wide range of four-momentum transfer. The evolution of the phase along with four-momentum transfer is an important input for understanding its asymptotic behavior and the dynamics of baryons.

[Global trends in the incidence and prevalence of pneumoconiosis in 204 countries/territories from 1990 to 2019]

Objective: To analyze the changing trend of incidence and prevalence of pneumoconiosis globally, and provide scientific basis for the formulation of health policy. Methods: In June 2022, through the Global Health Data exchange (GHDx) query tool (http: //ghdx.healthdata.org/gbd-results-tool) , the pneumoconiosis incidence and prevalence data was downloaded and organized. Estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and age-standardized rate (ASR) were used to estimate the trends of pneumoconiosis from 1990 to 2019. EAPC was estimated by linear regression model based on ASR. Results: The overall ASR of the incidence and prevalence of pneumoconiosis decreased from 1990 to 2019, and their EAPCs were-0.85% (95%CI: -1.11%--0.60%) and -0.78% (95%CI: -1.08%--0.49%) . Over the past 30 years, the incidence and prevalence of pneumoconiosis in all SDI areas showed decreasing trends, especially in high SDI areas, their EAPCs were -1.46% (95%CI: -1.76%--1.15%) and -1.99% (95%CI: -2.44%--1.53%) . 110 countries/areas showed increasing trends in age standardized incidence rate (ASIR) , with Iran and Georgia showing the most pronounced upward trend, their EAPCs were 5.32% (95%CI: 4.43%-6.22%) and 4.39% (95%CI: 3.81%-4.97%) . 125 countries/areas showed anincreasing trends in prevalence ASR, with Iran had the fastest rise in prevalence (EAPC=6.40%, 95%CI: 5.33%-7.49%) . Conclusion: Although decreasing trends in the burden of pneumoconiosis are observed globally from 1990 to 2019, but the burden of pneumoconiosis in low-and middle-income countries or regions are still heavy. We need more effective strategies to prevent and reduce the burden of pneumoconiosis.

[Comparison of efficacy and safety between domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab in the treatment of driver gene-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer]

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab in the treatment of driver gene-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 1 241 patients with driver gene-negative, unresectable stage ⅢB to Ⅳ non-small cell lung cancer who were treated at the Hunan Cancer Hospital from January 1, 2017 to October 1, 2022. All patients received monotherapy or combination therapy with domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors or pembrolizumab. Among the 1 241 patients, there were 1 066 males and 175 females, with an age range of 14 to 84 years and a median age of 62 years. Among them, 67 patients received monotherapy with domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors, 695 patients received combination therapy with domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors, 102 patients received monotherapy with pembrolizumab, and 377 patients received combination therapy with pembrolizumab. The efficacy and safety of domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab monotherapy or combination therapy were compared. Results: In the immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy group, the objective response rate (ORR) using domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab was 43.3%(29/67) and 44.1%(45/102), respectively, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 79.1%(53/67) and 84.3%(86/102), respectively, with no statistically significant differences (both P>0.05). In the immune combination therapy group, the ORR using domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab was 60.9%(423/695) and 62.9%(237/377), respectively, and the DCR was 92.9%(646/695) and 91.0%(343/377), respectively, with no statistically significant differences (both P>0.05). In the immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy group, the median progression-free survival (PFS) using domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab was 9.0 (95%CI: 3.0-15.0) months and 7.4 (95%CI: 4.8-9.8) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.660). The median overall survival (OS) was 27.0 (95%CI: 25.0-29.0) months and 22.0 (95%CI: 17.1-26.9) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.673). In the immune combination therapy group, the median PFS using domestic immune checkpoint inhibitors and pembrolizumab was 9.0 (95%CI: 8.2-9.8) months and 10.5 (95%CI: 9.0-12.0) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.186). The median OS was 24.0 (95%CI: 19.1-28.9) months and 26.0 (95%CI: 21.3-30.7) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.359). The incidence of grade 1-2 reactive capillary proliferation of the skin in the domestic immune checkpoint inhibitor group and pembrolizumab group was 14.0% (107/762) and 0, respectively. The incidence of grade≥3 reactive capillary proliferation of the skin was 1.0% (7/762) and 0, respectively, with statistically significant differences (both P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in other adverse reactions (all P>0.05). Conclusions: The efficacy of domestically produced immune checkpoint inhibitors is comparable to that of pembrolizumab in the treatment of driver gene-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer. There is little difference in safety, except for the specific difference in domestically produced immune checkpoint inhibitor, which has a unique risk of reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation.

First Measurement of the Decay Asymmetry in the Pure W-Boson-Exchange Decay Λ_{c}^{+}→Ξ^{0}K^{+}

Based on 4.4  fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected at the center-of-mass energies between 4.60 and 4.70 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the pure W-boson-exchange decay Λ_{c}^{+}→Ξ^{0}K^{+} is studied with a full angular analysis. The corresponding decay asymmetry is measured for the first time to be α_{Ξ^{0}K^{+}}=0.01±0.16(stat)±0.03(syst). This result reflects the noninterference effect between the S- and P-wave amplitudes. The phase shift between S- and P-wave amplitudes has two solutions, which are δ_{p}-δ_{s}=-1.55±0.25(stat)±0.05(syst)  rad or 1.59±0.25(stat)±0.05(syst)  rad.

FFAR4 activation inhibits lung adenocarcinoma via blocking respiratory chain complex assembly associated mitochondrial metabolism

Despite notable advancements in the investigation and management of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the mortality rate for individuals afflicted with LUAD remains elevated, and attaining an accurate prognosis is challenging. LUAD exhibits intricate genetic and environmental components, and it is plausible that free fatty acid receptors (FFARs) may bridge the genetic and dietary aspects. The objective of this study is to ascertain whether a correlation exists between FFAR4, which functions as the primary receptor for dietary fatty acids, and various characteristics of LUAD, while also delving into the potential underlying mechanism. The findings of this study indicate a decrease in FFAR4 expression in LUAD, with a positive correlation (P < 0.01) between FFAR4 levels and overall patient survival (OS). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated a significant diagnostic value [area under the curve (AUC) of 0.933] associated with FFAR4 expression. Functional investigations revealed that the FFAR4-specific agonist (TUG891) effectively suppressed cell proliferation and induced cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, FFAR4 activation resulted in significant metabolic shifts, including a decrease in oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and an increase in extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) in A549 cells. In detail, the activation of FFAR4 has been observed to impact the assembly process of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex and the malate-aspartate shuttle process, resulting in a decrease in the transition of NAD+ to NADH and the inhibition of LUAD. These discoveries reveal a previously unrecognized function of FFAR4 in the negative regulation of mitochondrial metabolism and the inhibition of LUAD, indicating its potential as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment and diagnosis of LUAD.

Pien Tze Huang Inhibits Proliferation of Colorectal Cancer Cells through Suppressing PNO1 Expression and Activating p53/p21 Signaling Pathway

OBJECTIVE

To explore the regulatory effect of Pien Tze Huang (PZH) on targeting partner of NOB1 (PNO1) and it's down-stream mediators in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells.

METHODS

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine mRNA levels of PNO1, TP53, and CDKN1A. Western blotting was performed to determine protein levels of PNO1, p53, and p21. HCT-8 cells were transduced with a lentivirus over-expressing PNO1. Colony formation assay was used to detect cell survival in PNO1 overexpression of HCT-8 cells after PZH treatment. Cell-cycle distribution, cell viability and cell apoptosis were performed to identify the effect of PNO1 overexpression on cell proliferation and apoptosis of HCT-8 cells after PZH treatment. Xenograft BALB/c nude mice bearing HCT116 cells transduced with sh-PNO1 or sh-Ctrl lentivirus were evaluated. Western blot assay was performed to detect PNO1, p53, p21 and PCNA expression in tumor sections. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labling (TUNEL) assay was used to determine the apoptotic cells in tissues.

RESULTS

PZH treatment decreased cell viability, down-regulated PNO1 expression, and up-regulated p53 and p21 expressions in HCT-8 cells (P<0.05). PNO1 overexpression attenuated the effects of PZH treatment, including the expression of p53 and p21, cell growth, cell viability, cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis in vitro (P<0.05). PNO1 knockdown eliminated the effects of PZH treatment on tumor growth, inhibiting cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in vivo (P<0.05). Similarly, PNO1 knockdown attenuated the effects of PZH treatment on the down-regulation of PNO1 and up-regulation of p53 and p21 in vivo (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION

The mechanism by which PZH induces its CRC anti-proliferative effect is at least in part by regulating the expression of PNO1 and its downstream targets p53 and p21.

Test of CP Symmetry in Hyperon to Neutron Decays

The quantum entangled J/ψ→Σ^{+}Σ[over ¯]^{-} pairs from (1.0087±0.0044)×10^{10}  J/ψ events taken by the BESIII detector are used to study the nonleptonic two-body weak decays Σ^{+}→nπ^{+} and Σ[over ¯]^{-}→n[over ¯]π^{-}. The CP-odd weak decay parameters of the decays Σ^{+}→nπ^{+} (α_{+}) and Σ[over ¯]^{-}→n[over ¯]π^{-} (α[over ¯]_{-}) are determined to be 0.0481±0.0031_{stat}±0.0019_{syst} and -0.0565±0.0047_{stat}±0.0022_{syst}, respectively. The decay parameter α[over ¯]_{-} is measured for the first time, and the accuracy of α_{+} is improved by a factor of 4 compared to the previous results. The simultaneously determined decay parameters allow the first precision CP symmetry test for any hyperon decay with a neutron in the final state with the measurement of A_{CP}=(α_{+}+α[over ¯]_{-})/(α_{+}-α[over ¯]_{-})=-0.080±0.052_{stat}±0.028_{syst}. Assuming CP conservation, the average decay parameter is determined as ⟨α_{+}⟩=(α_{+}-α[over ¯]_{-})/2=-0.0506±0.0026_{stat}±0.0019_{syst}, while the ratios α_{+}/α_{0} and α[over ¯]_{-}/α[over ¯]_{0} are -0.0490±0.0032_{stat}±0.0021_{syst} and -0.0571±0.0053_{stat}±0.0032_{syst}, where α_{0} and α[over ¯]_{0} are the decay parameters of the decays Σ^{+}→pπ^{0} and Σ[over ¯]^{-}→p[over ¯]π^{0}, respectively.

Measurement of Energy-Dependent Pair-Production Cross Section and Electromagnetic Form Factors of a Charmed Baryon

We study the process e^{+}e^{-}→Λ_{c}^{+}Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-} at twelve center-of-mass energies from 4.6119 to 4.9509 GeV using data samples collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The Born cross sections and effective form factors (|G_{eff}|) are determined with unprecedented precision after combining the single and double-tag methods based on the decay process Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+}. Flat cross sections around 4.63 GeV are obtained and no indication of the resonant structure Y(4630), as reported by Belle, is found. In addition, no oscillatory behavior is discerned in the |G_{eff}| energy dependence of Λ_{c}^{+}, in contrast to what is seen for the proton and neutron cases. Analyzing the cross section together with the polar-angle distribution of the Λ_{c}^{+} baryon at each energy point, the moduli of electric and magnetic form factors (|G_{E}| and |G_{M}|) are extracted and separated. For the first time, the energy dependence of the form factor ratio |G_{E}/G_{M}| is observed, which can be well described by an oscillatory function.

Determination of Spin-Parity Quantum Numbers for the Narrow Structure near the pΛ[over ¯] Threshold in e^{+}e^{-}→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯]+c.c

A narrow structure in the pΛ[over ¯] system near the mass threshold, named as X(2085), is observed in the process e^{+}e^{-}→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯] with a statistical significance greater than 20σ. Its spin and parity are determined for the first time to be J^{P}=1^{+} in an amplitude analysis, with a statistical significance greater than 5σ over other quantum numbers (0^{-},1^{-} and 2^{+}). The pole positions of X(2085) are measured to be M_{pole}=(2084_{-2}^{+4}±9)  MeV and Γ_{pole}=(58_{-3}^{+4}±25)  MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The analysis is based on the study of the process e^{+}e^{-}→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯] and uses the data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=4.008, 4.178, 4.226, 4.258, 4.416, and 4.682 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 8.35  fb^{-1}.

Precise Measurement of the e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{*+}D_{s}^{*-} Cross Sections at Center-of-Mass Energies from Threshold to 4.95 GeV

The process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{*+}D_{s}^{*-} is studied with a semi-inclusive method using data samples at center-of-mass energies from threshold to 4.95 GeV collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The Born cross sections of the process are measured for the first time with high precision in this energy region. Two resonance structures are observed in the energy-dependent cross sections around 4.2 and 4.4 GeV. By fitting the cross sections with a coherent sum of three Breit-Wigner amplitudes and one phase-space amplitude, the two significant structures are assigned masses of (4186.8±8.7±30) and (4414.6±3.4±6.1)  MeV/c^{2}, widths of (55±15±53) and (122.5±7.5±8.1)  MeV, where the first errors are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The inclusion of a third Breit-Wigner amplitude is necessary to describe a structure around 4.79 GeV.

First Experimental Study of the Purely Leptonic Decay D_{s}^{*+}→e^{+}ν_{e}

Using 7.33  fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data taken with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first experimental study of the purely leptonic decay D_{s}^{*+}→e^{+}ν_{e}. Our data contain a signal of this decay with a statistical significance of 2.9σ. The branching fraction of D_{s}^{*+}→e^{+}ν_{e} is measured to be (2.1_{-0.9_{stat}}^{+1.2}±0.2_{syst})×10^{-5}, corresponding to an upper limit of 4.0×10^{-5} at the 90% confidence level. Taking the total width of the D_{s}^{*+} [(0.070±0.028)  keV] predicted with the radiative D_{s}^{*+} decay from the lattice QCD calculation as input, the decay constant of the D_{s}^{*+} is determined to be f_{D_{s}^{*+}}=(214_{-46_{stat}}^{+61}±44_{syst})  MeV, corresponding to an upper limit of 354 MeV at the 90% confidence level.

Search for a τ^{+}τ^{-} Resonance in e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}τ^{+}τ^{-} Events with the Belle II Experiment

We report the first search for a nonstandard-model resonance decaying into τ pairs in e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}τ^{+}τ^{-} events in the 3.6-10  GeV/c^{2} mass range. We use a 62.8  fb^{-1} sample of e^{+}e^{-} collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The analysis probes three different models predicting a spin-1 particle coupling only to the heavier lepton families, a Higgs-like spin-0 particle that couples preferentially to charged leptons (leptophilic scalar), and an axionlike particle, respectively. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at 90% confidence level on the product of cross section and branching fraction into τ pairs, ranging from 0.7 to 24 fb, and on the couplings of these processes. We obtain world-leading constraints on the couplings for the leptophilic scalar model for masses above 6.5  GeV/c^{2} and for the axionlike particle model over the entire mass range.

[Study of immunophenotypic characteristics, clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in gastric cancer microenvironment]

Objective: To explore the immunophenotypic characteristics of gastric cancer microenvironment and analyze its correlation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of patients. Methods: The expression levels of leukocyte differentiation antigen (CD) 8, CD4, T lymphocyte immunoglobulin mucoprotein 3 (TIM3), human forkhead box protein P3 (Foxp3) and co-localized tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were detected in 92 cases of gastric cancer tissue [58 males and 34 females; aged M(Q1, Q3), 70(59, 77) years ] and 84 cases of paracancer tissue [57 males and 27 females, aged 70(59, 77) years] purchased from Shanghai Xinchao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and the samples were from 28 hospitals in the sample bank. Gastric cancer and adjacent tissues were divided into high expression group and low expression group according to the optimal cut-off value of positive lymphocytepercentage. The expression of immunophenotypes in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Cox proportional hazard model was used to explore the prognostic factors of gastric cancer patients. Results: The optimal cut-off values of CD8, CD4, TIM3 and Foxp3 positive cells in gastric cancer were 12.73%, 1.39%, 10.77% and 2.44%, respectively. The expression of Foxp3 in gastric cancer tissues was higher than that in paracancer tissues [M (Q1, Q3), 0.93 (0.45, 2.16) vs 0.31 (0.09, 0.86), P<0.001], and the expression of CD8 [4.92 (2.34, 8.80) vs 8.81 (6.61, 12.17), P<0.001], CD4 [4.79 (1.77, 11.36) vs 8.40 (4.84, 12.77), P=0.022] and TIM3 [5.68 (2.05, 11.58) vs 7.07 (3.13, 11.43), P=0.338] were lower than that in paracancer tissues. There were significant differences in TIM3 expression in gastric cancer patients with different lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (all P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate of patients with high CD4 expression, low TIM3 expression and low Foxp3 expression in gastric cancer tissues was poor, among which the high CD4 expression and low CD4 expression groups were 29.3% and 64.7%, respectively; The high and low TIM3 expression groups were 60.9% and 30.4%, respectively; The high and low Foxp3 expression groups were 64.3% and 33.3%, respectively (all P<0.05). The optimal cut-off values of CD8+TIM3+TILs, CD4+TIM3+TILs, CD8+Foxp3+TILs and CD4+Foxp3+TILs were 3.86%, 0.23%, 0.08% and 0.76%, respectively. Colocalization analysis showed that the expression of CD8+Foxp3+TILs in gastric cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues(all P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high expression of CD4 (HR=3.079, 95%CI: 1.350-7.024,P=0.008), low expression of TIM3 (HR=0.428, 95%CI: 0.208-0.879, P=0.021) and low expression of Foxp3 (HR=0.288, 95%CI: 0.121-0.687, P=0.005) were the influencing factor for the 5-year survival rate of patients with gastric cancer after operation. Conclusions: Gastric cancer tissues have complex immune microenvironment characteristics. The expression of CD4, TIM3 and Foxp3 is closely related to the prognosis of patients.

First Study of Reaction Ξ^{0}n→Ξ^{-}p Using Ξ^{0}-Nucleus Scattering at an Electron-Positron Collider

Using (1.0087±0.0044)×10^{10}  J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, the process Ξ^{0}n→Ξ^{-}p is studied, where the Ξ^{0} baryon is produced in the process J/ψ→Ξ^{0}Ξ[over ¯]^{0} and the neutron is a component of the ^{9}Be, ^{12}C, and ^{197}Au nuclei in the beam pipe. A clear signal is observed with a statistical significance of 7.1σ. The cross section of the reaction Ξ^{0}+^{9}Be→Ξ^{-}+p+^{8}Be is determined to be σ(Ξ^{0}+^{9}Be→Ξ^{-}+p+^{8}Be)=(22.1±5.3_{stat}±4.5_{sys})  mb at the Ξ^{0} momentum of 0.818  GeV/c, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. No significant H-dibaryon signal is observed in the Ξ^{-}p final state. This is the first study of hyperon-nucleon interactions in electron-positron collisions and opens up a new direction for such research.

[Mechanism of podocyte pyroptosis aggravated by up-regulation of phospholipase A2 receptor by hepatitis B virus X protein]

Objective: To explore the effect and underlying mechanism of increased expression of M-type phospholipase A₂ receptor (PLA₂R) on podocyte membrane induced by hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) on podocyte pyroptosis in hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN). Methods: Transfection of the HBx gene into human kidney podocytes was used to mimic the HBV-GN pathogenesis process. Subsequently, podocytes were divided into the following eight groups: normal control plus secretory phospholipase A₂-ⅠB (sPLA₂-ⅠB) group, empty plasmid plus sPLA₂-ⅠB group, HBx group, HBx plus sPLA₂-ⅠB group, HBx plus sPLA₂-ⅠB plus PLA₂R control siRNA group, HBx plus sPLA₂-ⅠB plus PLA₂R-siRNA group, HBx plus sPLA₂-ⅠB plus ROS control siRNA group, and HBx plus sPLA₂-ⅠB plus ROS-siRNA group. Podocyte morphology was observed under a transmission electron microscope, and PLA₂R expression was detected under a fluorescence microscope. Podocyte pyroptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the mRNA and protein expression of PLA₂R, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC), caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot. Results: Compared with the control group, the expression of PLA₂R on podocyte membrane significantly increased after transfection with HBx plasmid in vitro (4.07±0.41 vs 1.01±0.17, P<0.001). Transmission electron microscope and fluorochrome-labeled inhibitor of caspases/propidium iodide (FLICA/PI) double staining suggested that overexpressed PLA₂R combined with sPLA₂-ⅠB caused aggravated podocyte injury and increased pyroptosis (20.22%±0.36% vs 7.86%±0.28%, P<0.001). Moreover, the expression levels of ROS (4 324 515±222 764 vs 12 920±46, P<0.001), NLRP3 (48.30±2.73 vs 1.00±0.11, P<0.001), ASC (4.02±0.84 vs 1.01±0.15, P<0.001), caspase-1 (3.99±0.42 vs 1.00±0.11, P<0.001), IL-1β (9.08±0.75 vs 1.00±0.09, P<0.001) and IL-18 (19.20±0.70 vs 1.00±0.02, P<0.001) increased when PLA₂R was overexpressed. In contrast, with the addition of PLA₂R-siRNA or ROS-siRNA to knockdown the expression of related substances, podocyte injury was alleviated and the degree of pyroptosis decreased, and the expressions of genes related to the downstream signaling pathway (NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18) decreased (all P<0.01). Conclusion: HBx may promote podocyte pyroptosis in HBV-GN by targeting the ROS-NLRP3 signaling pathway via the upregulation of PLA₂R.

Quantitative elemental analysis of bismuth brass with target-enhanced orthogonal double-pulse LIBS combined with variant one-point calibration

Self-absorption and unknown transition probabilities of the analytical lines hinder the accurate quantitative elemental analysis of bismuth brass with conventional calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). In this work, target-enhanced orthogonal double-pulse LIBS combined with a variant one-point calibration method was used to solve this problem and realize quantitative elemental analysis of bismuth brass with a relative error of less than 4%. This approach is able to reduce the influence of self-absorption and capable of using analytical lines with unknown transition probabilities while using a calibration-free algorithm, which is helpful for accurate quantitative elemental analysis of bismuth brass and other samples.

Search for an Invisible Z^{'} in a Final State with Two Muons and Missing Energy at Belle II

The L_{μ}-L_{τ} extension of the standard model predicts the existence of a lepton-flavor-universality-violating Z^{'} boson that couples only to the heavier lepton families. We search for such a Z^{'} through its invisible decay in the process e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}Z^{'}. We use a sample of electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019-2020, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.7  fb^{-1}. We find no excess over the expected standard-model background. We set 90%-confidence-level upper limits on the cross section for this process as well as on the coupling of the model, which ranges from 3×10^{-3} at low Z^{'} masses to 1 at Z^{'} masses of 8  GeV/c^{2}.

Precision Measurement of the Decay Σ^{+}→pγ in the Process J/ψ→Σ^{+}Σ[over ¯]^{-}

Using (10 087±44)×10^{6} J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, the radiative hyperon decay Σ^{+}→pγ is studied at an electron-positron collider experiment for the first time. The absolute branching fraction is measured to be (0.996±0.021_{stat}±0.018_{syst})×10^{-3}, which is lower than its world average value by 4.2 standard deviations. Its decay asymmetry parameter is determined to be -0.652±0.056_{stat}±0.020_{syst}. The branching fraction and decay asymmetry parameter are the most precise to date, and the accuracies are improved by 78% and 34%, respectively.

Search for Lepton-Flavor-Violating τ Decays to a Lepton and an Invisible Boson at Belle II

We search for lepton-flavor-violating τ^{-}→e^{-}α and τ^{-}→μ^{-}α decays, where α is an invisible spin-0 boson. The search uses electron-positron collisions at 10.58 GeV center-of-mass energy with an integrated luminosity of 62.8  fb^{-1}, produced by the SuperKEKB collider and collected with the Belle II detector. We search for an excess in the lepton-energy spectrum of the known τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ} and τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ} decays. We report 95% confidence-level upper limits on the branching-fraction ratio B(τ^{-}→e^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ}) in the range (1.1-9.7)×10^{-3} and on B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ}) in the range (0.7-12.2)×10^{-3} for α masses between 0 and 1.6  GeV/c^{2}. These results provide the most stringent bounds on invisible boson production from τ decays.

Measurements of the Electric and Magnetic Form Factors of the Neutron for Timelike Momentum Transfer

We present the first measurements of the electric and magnetic form factors of the neutron in the timelike (positive q^{2}) region as function of four-momentum transfer. We explored the differential cross sections of the reaction e^{+}e^{-}→n[over ¯]n with data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII accelerator, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 354.6  pb^{-1} in total at twelve center-of-mass energies between sqrt[s]=2.0-2.95  GeV. A relative uncertainty of 18% and 12% for the electric and magnetic form factors, respectively, is achieved at sqrt[s]=2.3935  GeV. Our results are comparable in accuracy to those from electron scattering in the comparable spacelike region of four-momentum transfer. The electromagnetic form factor ratio R_{em}≡|G_{E}|/|G_{M}| is within the uncertainties close to unity. We compare our result on |G_{E}| and |G_{M}| to recent model predictions, and the measurements in the spacelike region to test the analyticity of electromagnetic form factors.

Abstract 475: Preclinical development of ABM-168, a novel MEK Inhibitor to treat cancer with brain tumors

The Mitogen-Activated Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (MEK) is a critical member of the MAPK signaling pathway family. In cancer cells, the abnormality in MAPK pathway associates with the mutation occurred in the upstream KARS or BRAF. Blockage of the pathway with MEK1/2 inhibitors result in inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. It hence has the potential for clinical benefits for treating cancers with RAS/RAF dysfunctions.ABM-168 is a novel small molecule, allosteric, highly selective MEK inhibitor with high water solubility, cell permeability and brain penetration. We have demonstrated its anti-cancer efficacy in vitro in multiple cancer cell lines, and in vivo in several xenograft, subcutaneous, intracardiac and intracranial, animal models. In-vitro data showed the similar on-target enzyme activity of ABM-168 to marketed MEK inhibitors, as well as high anti-proliferation activities (IC50 &lt;30nM) in multiple cancer cell lines with BRAF or RAS or NF1 mutation like A375, Colo-829, HT-29, MiaPaca-2, LN-229 etc. In vivo pharmacology studies demonstrated that ABM-168 had good potencies of tumor growth inhibitions with oral dose alone or combo with other drugs or compounds in multiple xenograft cancer models: In an A375-luc intracardiac melanoma metastatic model, ABM-168 at 2 mg/kg PO BID demonstrated an antitumor activity comparable to ABM-1310 (A highly BBB-permeable BRAF inhibitor developed by ABM Therapeutics) at different dose levels and frequencies. On Day 28, the BLI% decreased 95.5%, 93.2%, 99.44% and 99.7% for ABM-168 (2 mg/kg), ABM-1310 at 1 mg/kg PO QD, 5 mg/kg PO QD and 2.5 mg/kg PO BID, respectively. In a LN229 glioblastoma orthotopic model in BALB/c nude mice, ABM-168 at 5-10 mg/kg PO QD showed a significant activity, the BLI (%) decreased in the brain 68 % on Day 49. These results indicate that the BBB-permeable ABM-168 may be efficacious as a single agent or combo with ABM-1310 to treat BRAF-mutant, advanced cancers with or without brain metastases or primary CNS tumors with an abnormal up-regulated MAPK signal. Non-clinical pharmacokinetics studies also showed that ABM-168 had a favorable ADME profile both in vitro and in vivo, and good brain penetration in animals. Single-dose, seven-day repeat dose non-GLP studies and four-week GLP toxicity studies in SD rats and beagle dogs were all completed. Based on these supportive preclinical study results, the IND of ABM-168 was submitted in 2022 Q3 to investigate its safety in human, which will be followed by further clinic development as a single agent, or in combination with other molecules to treat advanced cancers resulted from the abnormal MAPK signal pathway, particularly with brain tumors.

Abstract 5982: A potent and selective CDK8 inhibitor ABM-3249 with excellent efficacies in multiple in vivo cancer models

CDK8 is a member of the CDK family in which belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase. It binds with cyclin C to regulate the transcription. By modulation of various gene expression programs, CDK8 associated with the mediator complex to sustain proliferation and viability of cancer cells. CDK8 has been identified as an important factor in cancer occurrence and development. It also involves in the regulation of cancer cell stress response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, assists tumor cell invasion, metastasis and drug resistance. Therefore inhibition of CDK8 is regarded as a promising target for cancer therapy. ABM-3249 was discovered as a potent and selective CDK8 inhibitor with a novel chemical structure. It inhibited CDK8 kinase activity in biochemical assay and cellular binding assay, with IC50 values of 1.4 nM and 19nM respectively. ABM-3249 displayed good kinase selectivity: &lt;50% inhibition on all other CDK family members at 1uM. Consistently, ABM-3249 reduced STAT1-S727 phosphorylation with an IC50 of less than 100nM. ABM-3249 showed good ADME properties with high oral bioavailability (~90%) in rodents. In efficacy studies, ABM-3249 exhibited excellent anti-tumor activities in multiple in vivo models. In an AML MV4-11 xenograft model at 25mpk oral dosing ABM-3249 achieved complete remission in all mice within 17 days and no tumor recurrence within one month after drug withdrawal. ABM-3249 showed good efficacies as a single agent, as well as a synergetic effect with anti-PD1 combination in a murine colon cancer MC38 model. It also showed an efficacy in a murine colon cancer B16F10 metastasis model. In addition, ABM-3249 displayed a good safety margin in a preliminary tox screen in rodents.

Observation of Three Charmoniumlike States with J^{PC}=1^{--} in e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+}

The Born cross sections of the process e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+} at center-of-mass energies from 4.189 to 4.951 GeV are measured for the first time. The data samples used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 17.9  fb^{-1} and were collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Three enhancements around 4.20, 4.47, and 4.67 GeV are visible. The resonances have masses of 4209.6±4.7±5.9  MeV/c^{2}, 4469.1±26.2±3.6  MeV/c^{2}, and 4675.3±29.5±3.5  MeV/c^{2} and widths of 81.6±17.8±9.0  MeV, 246.3±36.7±9.4  MeV, and 218.3±72.9±9.3  MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The first and third resonances are consistent with the ψ(4230) and ψ(4660) states, respectively, while the second one is compatible with the ψ(4500) observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}K^{-}J/ψ process. These three charmoniumlike ψ states are observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+} process for the first time.

Observation of e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{bJ}(1P) and Search for X_{b}→ωϒ(1S) at sqrt[s] near 10.75 GeV

We study the processes e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{bJ}(1P) (J=0, 1, or 2) using samples at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=10.701, 10.745, and 10.805 GeV, corresponding to 1.6, 9.8, and 4.7  fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, respectively. These data were collected with the Belle II detector during special operations of the SuperKEKB collider above the ϒ(4S) resonance. We report the first observation of ωχ_{bJ}(1P) signals at sqrt[s]=10.745  GeV. By combining Belle II data with Belle results at sqrt[s]=10.867  GeV, we find energy dependencies of the Born cross sections for e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{b1,b2}(1P) to be consistent with the shape of the ϒ(10753) state. These data indicate that the internal structures of the ϒ(10753) and ϒ(10860) states may differ. Including data at sqrt[s]=10.653  GeV, we also search for the bottomonium equivalent of the X(3872) state decaying into ωϒ(1S). No significant signal is observed for masses between 10.45 and 10.65  GeV/c^{2}.

Measurement of the Λ_{c}^{+} Lifetime

An absolute measurement of the Λ_{c}^{+} lifetime is reported using Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+} decays in events reconstructed from data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. The total integrated luminosity of the data sample, which was collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, is 207.2  fb^{-1}. The result, τ(Λ_{c}^{+})=203.20±0.89±0.77  fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, is the most precise measurement to date and is consistent with previous determinations.

Search for a Dark Photon and an Invisible Dark Higgs Boson in μ^{+}μ^{-} and Missing Energy Final States with the Belle II Experiment

The dark photon A^{'} and the dark Higgs boson h^{'} are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of A^{'} and h^{'} in the dark Higgsstrahlung process e^{+}e^{-}→A^{'}h^{'} with A^{'}→μ^{+}μ^{-} and h^{'} invisible in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV in data collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019. With an integrated luminosity of 8.34  fb^{-1}, we observe no evidence for signal. We obtain exclusion limits at 90% Bayesian credibility in the range of 1.7-5.0 fb on the cross section and in the range of 1.7×10^{-8}-200×10^{-8} on the effective coupling ϵ^{2}×α_{D} for the A^{'} mass in the range of 4.0  GeV/c^{2}<M_{A^{'}}<9.7  GeV/c^{2} and for the h^{'} mass M_{h^{'}}<M_{A^{'}}, where ϵ is the mixing strength between the standard model and the dark photon and α_{D} is the coupling of the dark photon to the dark Higgs boson. Our limits are the first in this mass range.

[Application of the two-step sentinel lymph node biopsy with double-tracer in early staged endometrial cancer]

Objective: To explore the feasibility and clinical value of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy through cervix-uterine combined two-step injection with two tracers in patients with early stage endometrial cancer. Methods: From July 2019 to April 2021, a total of 73 patients, aged (54.2±3.3) year, who were preoperatively diagnosed as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ endometrial cancer (including 56 low-risk patients and 17 medium-high risk patients) in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were selected. According to the different sites of tracer injection, the patients were randomly divided into three groups: cervical injection group (25 cases): 1 ml of nano-carbon was used to inject at 3 and 9 o'clock in the cervix; uterine injection group (21 cases): the magnetic resonance imaging examination was performed to determine the location of the lesion, and 4 ml of methylene blue was injected into the uterine body at 2 sites where the lesion was located; combined injection group (27 cases): cervical injection of nano-carbon (1 ml) combined with uterine injection of methylene blue (4 ml). The SLN in all patients were identified under laparoscopy, removed, and followed by frozen pathological examination. Pathological ultra-staging was performed if the postoperative pathological outcome of SLN was negative. The total detection rate of SLN, bilateral pelvic SLN detection rate, sensitivity, negative predictive value, and location of SLN in each group were calculated and compared. Results: (1) In 73 patients with endometrial cancer, the overall detection rate of SLN was 88% (64/73), the detection rate of bilateral pelvic SLN was 67% (49/73), and the detection rate of para-aortic SLN was 49% (36/73). The overall detection rate of SLN (71%, 15/21) and bilateral pelvic SLN (43%, 9/21) in the intrauterine injection group were significantly lower than those in the cervical injection group [92% (23/25), 76% (19/25), respectively] and the combined injection group [96% (26/27), 78% (21/27), respectively; all P<0.05]; the detection rate of para-aortic SLN in the cervical injection group (28%, 7/25) was significantly lower than those in the intrauterine injection group and combined injection group [52% (11/21) and 67% (18/27), respectively; both P<0.05]. Among 73 cases with endometrial cancer, 9 had lymph node metastasis confirmed by postoperative pathological examination, 8 of them had lymph node metastasis detected by SLN and 1 had no lymph node metastasis detected by SLN, with a total sensitivity of 89% and a negative predictive value of 98%. The sensitivity and negative predictive value of cervical injection group and combined injection group were 100%, while the sensitivity and negative predictive value of intrauterine injection group were 67% and 95%. Among 56 low-risk patients, only one patient with lymph node metastasis was confirmed by postoperative pathology by SLN detection, and the metastasis rate was 2% (1/56), and the sensitivity and negative predictive value were 100%. Lymph node metastasis was confirmed in 8 of 17 patients (8/17) with a sensitivity of 88% and a negative predictive value of 90%. (2) A total of 459 SLN were detected in 73 endometrial cancer patients, with the highest proportion of external iliac (33.3%, 153/459).The obturator foramen was 25.3% (116/459), para-aortic 19.6% (90/459), iliac 12.0% (55/459), and presacral 9.8% (45/459). The proportion of para-aortic SLN in the cervical injection group was 12.4% (21/169), which were significantly lower than that in the intrauterine injection group and the combined injection group [27.4% (26/95) and 22.1% (43/195), respectively; both P<0.05]. (3) Pathological super-staging results: among 64 patients with negative SLN routine paraffin pathology, 4 cases of lymph node micro-metastases and 1 case of isolated tumor cell metastasis were detected, and the SLN micro-metastases rate was 8% (5/64), including 2 cases of low-risk patients and 3 cases of medium-high risk patients. Conclusions: SLN biopsy has high sensitivity and negative predictive value in patients with early endometrial cancer and could be used as an alternative to systematic lymph node dissection in low-risk patients. The SLN mapping through cervical-uterine combined injection could further improve the detection rate effectively and avoid the missed detection of positive para-aortic lymph node, especially for high-risk patients or patients with fundal tumor involvement.

[Establishment and effect evaluation of nomogram model for diagnosis and prediction of pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]

Objective: To construct a diagnostic and predictive model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with pulmonary hypertension (COPD-PH) and evaluate its effect. Methods: A total of 1 514 COPD patients treated in 5 hospitals from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2019 were retrospectively collected and divided into training cohort (1 072 cases) and validation cohort (442 cases) according to the ratio of 7∶3 according to the inclusion time. Data including demographic data, smoking status, history of disease, and clinical examination were collected through patient medical records and electronic medical record systems. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the related factors of COPD-PH, and the nomogram model was constructed using the "rms" program package. The calibration curve was used to evaluate the consistency between the prediction probability of the model and the actual results. The C index and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were used to evaluate the discrimination of the model. The decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical practicability of the model. Results: In the training cohort, 3.7%, 15.2% and 81.1% were aged 50-59, 60-69 and ≥70 years, respectively, which were significantly different from the age composition of the validation cohort (7.9%, 27.8% and 64.3%, respectively) (P=0.041). There was no significant difference between the training cohort (79.4%) and the validation cohort (84.6%) (P=0.243). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of the training cohort showed that age ≥70 years [OR (95%CI): 3.32 (1.49-7.36)] and smoking status [former (current) smoking, OR (95%CI)] were 3.67 (2.51-5.37) and 2.04 (1.44-2.90), respectively], NT-probNP≥1 400 ng/L[OR (95%CI): 9.88 (6.23-15.66)], right atrial diameter [OR (95%CI): 1.11 (1.07-1.15)] was COPD-related factors of PH, based on the above factors-PH nomogram COPD model was set up and develop for online tools (https://ph-666.shinyapps.io/zhonghua-PH/). The calibrated C index (95%CI) of the training cohort and the validation cohort were 0.82 (0.77-0.87) and 0.77 (0.68-0.86), respectively. The calibration curve was close to the diagonal in both the training cohort and the validation cohort. The AUC (95%CI) of the nomogram model was 0.82 (0.80-0.85) in the training cohort and 0.77 (0.73-0.82) in the validation cohort. ROC curve showed that the optimal threshold in the training cohort was 0.60, and the sensitivity and specificity under this value were 0.74 and 0.78, respectively; the optimal threshold for the validation cohort was 0.70, and the sensitivity and specificity under this value were 0.76 and 0.65, respectively. DCA analysis showed that the nomogram model provided better net benefits than the all-variable selection and no-variable selection strategies with threshold probabilities greater than 15.0% and 13.0% in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Conclusions: The nomogram model for the diagnosis and prediction of COPD-PH is simple and accurate, which has a good clinical application prospect.

Accurate elemental analysis with variant one-point calibration laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy capable of using analytical lines with unknown transition probabilities

Calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF-LIBS) is a very useful elemental analysis technique. However, it requires knowledge of transition probabilities of the analytical lines. To solve this problem, a variant one-point calibration (OPC) LIBS method was proposed. Quantitative elemental analysis on Cu-Zn-Ag-Au alloys was realized with this method capable of using zinc analytical lines with unknown transition probabilities. The relative error was demonstrated to be less than 3.3%. This variant OPC method will be helpful for quantitative elemental analysis of different samples using CF-LIBS, no matter whether the transition probabilities of the observed lines are known or unknown.

[Progress in the development of treprostinil for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension]

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive pulmonary vascular disease, which can cause right heart failure and even death in severe cases. Treprostinil is a stable prostacyclin analogue and a powerful drug for dilating pulmonary vessels. It can be administered in different ways, with a long half-life, good stability and is suited for diverse types of PAH. It is approved for the treatment of Group 1 PAH, but some studies show that treprostinil is effective in patients with Group 3 or Group 4 PAH. Therefore, this article will review the progress of evidence-based medicine evidence of traprostanil in the treatment of type 1, 3 and 4 pulmonary hypertension.

[A nationalsurveyandresults analysisof seizure prophylaxis after aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage]

Investigate theclinical practice of seizure prophylaxis after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in Chinese neurosurgeons.Aquestionnaire for this theme was designed and was sent to respondents through the internet.From July 2021 to October 2021, atotal of forty-three eligible questionnaires were collected. All responders come from affiliated hospitals of medical schools in China. Each of these hospitals admitted more than one hundred patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage per year. Only 9.3% (4/43) of responders disagree with the prophylactic use of anticonvulsants. 86.04% (37/43) of responders perform seizure prophylaxis in clinical practice. Sodium valproate is the most commonly used regimen; 94.59% (35/37) of responders who perform prophylaxis chose this drug. The medication period differs sharply fromlessthan 3 daystolongerthan 14 daysamong different hospitals. The use of EEG was insufficient in Chinese patients. A low seizure rate was reported according to the feedback from Chinese neurosurgeons.In China, seizure prophylaxis after subarachnoid hemorrhage was not yet standardized. Clinicians' mastery of relevant knowledge is still not enough. Carrying out high-quality clinical research can help justify the use of anticonvulsants, which could also positively impact rational drug use.

[Progress on the pathogenesis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension]

Chronic thrombotic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare progressive pulmonary vascular disease, which is classified as World Health Organization (WHO) functional class Ⅳ pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The diagnosis was based on mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥25 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure ≤15 mmHg measured by right heart catheterization, with the under-utilization of radionuclide ventilation/perfusion scan and regular anticoagulation therapy for at least three months. The incidence of CTEPH is low, at 4 cases per million population per year. Despite the in-depth research on CTEPH in recent years, the strengthening of clinical diagnostic awareness, and the emergence of treatment methods such as pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) and balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA), the prognosis of CTEPH patients has been dramatically improved. However, the pathogenesis of CTEPH is unclear, and the lack of effective early diagnostic methods has become a bottleneck limiting the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we reviewed the current research progress on the pathogenesis of CTEPH to increase the understanding of CTPTH disease.

[National external quality assessment for molecular detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Delta variant]

Objective: To clarify the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta variant on the performance of existing molecular diagnostic assays, and investigate the detection ability of clinical laboratories across China. Methods: The first nationwide external quality assessment (EQA) for molecular detection of Delta variant was carried out based on the non-infectious phage virus-like particles samples, which were prepared by genetic engineering methods and distributed to 8 488 laboratories nationwide. The EQA panel was composed of three Delta variant samples (7.5×10², 1.5×10³ and 6.0×10³ copies/ml), one non-variant weak positive sample and one negative sample. The percentage of agreement (PA) of Delta variant samples with different concentration, the PA of Delta variant and non-variant samples with 7.5×10² copies/ml, the PA of assays used by more than 100 laboratories for Delta variant samples with different concentration and the PA of Delta variant and non-variant samples with 7.5×10² copies/ml were calculated and analyzed. Results: The data from 8 127 laboratories were available for evaluation. The testing capability of 98.77% (8 027/8 127) of the participating laboratories was found to be competent in reporting correct results for all samples. The overall percentage of agreement (OPA), negative percentage of agreement (NPA) and positive percentage of agreement (PPA) of the samples were 99.64% (40 490/40 635), 99.73% (8 105/8 127), 99.62% (32 385/32 508), respectively. With the decrease of the concentration of the samples, the PPA of Delta variant samples decreased. The PPAs were 99.41% and 99.51% for Delta variant and non-variant samples with 7.5×10² copies/ml, respectively, with no statistical difference (P=0.392). The OPA, NPA and PPA of the assays used by more than 100 laboratories were all greater than 98%, and no statistical difference of the PPAs was identified between Delta variant and non-variant samples with 7.5×10² copies/ml (P>0.05). Conclusions: Delta variant fails to impair the performance of current molecular diagnostic assays in China. The clinical laboratories have the same detection capabilities for Delta variant and non-variant samples. However, in certain laboratories, further improvement is required to ensure the accurate detection of weak positive samples.

[Clinical characteristics and CYP17A1 gene mutation analysis in patients with 17α-hydroxylase/17, 20-lyase deficiency and testicular tumor]

The 17α-hydroxylase/17, 20-lyase deficiency (17-OHD) is a rare disease. The clinical characteristics and gene mutation of 2 late-diagnosed 17-OHD patients with testicular tumor admitted to our hospital from March 2018 to February 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The two 17-OHD patients were female (46, XY). Laparoscopic abdominal exploration found undeveloped testicles in grey-yellow or grey-red in the groin and iliac fossa. The testicles were removed and showed malignancy in pathology study. Sequencing of the CYP17A1 gene identified c.1247G>A/c.1427T>C and c.985_987delTACinsAA/c.1306G>A complex heterozygous mutations. Taking together, the possibility of 17-OHD should be considered in patients with hypertension, hypokalemia, adrenal adenomatoid hyperplasia together with 46, XY gonadal dysplasia, so as to make early diagnosis and treatment, and avoid dysplastic testicular turning to malignancy.

[Survey on present status of noise exposure of workers in metal processing industry]

Objective: To investigate the distribution of noise exposure between non-steady state noise and steady-state noise for metal processing workers, which will provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of noise hazards in metal processing industry. Methods: The cross-section method was used to investigate the noise exposure of 737 workers from three metal processing industries in Zhejiang Province from October to December 2017. The general demographic information and occupational history were collected by questionnaire. The noise was recorded by individual noise meters, and the noise exposure intensity (equivalent continuous A-weighted noise exposure level normalized to an 8 h-working-day, L(Aeq, 8 h)) and kurtosis were calculated. Results: Workers exposed to noise in the metal processing industry were mainly 18-40 years old (527 workers, 71.51%) , men (570 workers, 77.34%) , and junior high school education background (416 workers, 56.45%) . There were 572 workers (77.61%) with noise exposure intensity (L(Aeq, 8 h)) greater than 85 dB (A) , 558 workers (75.71%) exposed to non-steady state noise (kurtosis ≥4) , and 634 workers (86.02%) with exposure duration less than 8 years. Among the 30 work types investigated, the work types with noise intensity reaching 100% were the stamping, welding and others from a children's car manufacturing factory in Ningbo, operating, chamfering, tapping, and thread rolling from an automobile parts manufacturing factory in Ningbo; The work types with a rate of 100% exposed to non-steady state noise were the grinding from a children's car manufacturing factory in Ningbo, assembling, assembly operating and others from an automobile brake manufacturing factory in Wenzhou, and polishing from an automobile parts manufacturing factory in Ningbo. Conclusion: Metal processing workers have a high rate of over-standard exposed to high noise intensity and a high proportion exposed to non-steady state noise. It is necessary to take sound insulation and noise reduction engineering control, and strengthen personal protection and occupational health management measures to prevent and control the noise hazards.

[Impact of enhanced recovery after surgery strategy on early postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic malignancy]

Objective: To investigate the impact of perioperative anesthesia management with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) strategy on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic malignancy. Methods: Ninety patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic malignancies from April 2018 to April 2019,aged 18-65 years,with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were recruited and randomly divided into two groups (n=45) using a random number table:ERAS group (group E) and control group (group C). Patients in group E received general anesthesia combined with transverses abdominis plane block and a series of interventions to optimize anesthetic and perioperative management, while patients in group C were treated with routine anesthesia management. Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire (QoR-40) was administered to assess the early postoperative quality of recovery on 1 day before surgery, and at 24 and 48h after surgery. C-reactive protein (CRP) before and after the operation were evaluated. The incidence of nausea, vomiting and shivering, the time of first exhaust, ambulation, resumption of normal diet, postoperative hospital stay and complications were recorded. Results: The scores of QoR-40 [M(Q₁, Q₃)] in Group E were 175(171, 179) and 185(183, 189) at 24 h and 48 h after operation, which were higher than those in group C [162(160, 167) and 180(179, 183)] (both P<0.01). The levels of CRP in both group E and group C increased at 24 h and 72 h after operation. Moreover, the extent of increasing level of CRP in group C was much higher than that in group E [(39.8±18.0) mg/L vs (13.4±6.3) mg/L, (16.6±8.6) mg/L vs (6.7±2.5) mg/L] at 24 h and 48 h after operation (both P<0.01). Compared with group C, the numerical rating scale (NRS) for nausea decreased significantly in group E [0(0, 2) vs 3 (0, 5), P<0.01]. Meanwhile, the incidence of vomiting and shivering in group E was lower than that in group C [8.9% (4/45) vs 26.7% (12/45); 11.1% (5/45) vs 31.1% (14/45); both P<0.05]. The time of first exhaust, ambulation and resumption of normal diet in group E was (14±6) h, 6(6, 13) h and 1(1, 2) d, respectively, which was markedly shorter than that in group C [(25±10) h, 21(19, 27) h and 3(2, 3) d] (all P<0.01). Overall, the postoperative length of hospital stay reduced significantly for patients who followed the ERAS protocol [7(5, 11) d vs 10(7, 14) d, P<0.01]. The incidence of postoperative complications was 17.8% (8/45) and 37.8% (17/45) in group E and group C, respectively, with a significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Implementation of ERAS anesthesia management in gynecologic oncology patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery alleviates perioperative discomfort, decreases surgical stress response, and improves the early postoperative quality of recovery.
