Abstract
The clinical data of 7 patients diagnosed with mixed neuroendocrine-nonneuroendocrine neoplasm were analyzed in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022. Among the 7 patients, 5 were male and 2 were female, with an average age of 59.3 years. Its clinical characteristics are similar to malignant ampulla tumors, and it is difficult to differentiate them. The preoperative puncture biopsy positivity rate is low, making it difficult to diagnose preoperatively, and the prognosis is worse.Comprehensive treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy can be the preferred treatment option for this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) has become a worldwide public health problem. Genetic factors are considered important risk factors for CHD. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between CYP4A22 gene polymorphism and CHD susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. METHODS We used SNPStats online software to complete the association analysis among 962 volunteers. False-positive report probability analysis was used to confirm whether a positive result is noteworthy. Haploview software and SNPStats were used for haplotype analysis and linkage disequilibrium. Multi-factor dimensionality reduction was applied to evaluate the interaction between candidate SNPs. RESULTS In overall and some stratified analyses (male, age ≤ 60 years or CHD patients complicated with hypertension), CYP4A22-rs12564525 (overall, OR = 0.83, p-value is 0.042) and CYP4A22-rs2056900 (overall, OR = 1.22, p-value is 0.032) were associated with the risk of CHD. CYP4A22-4926581 was associated with increased CHD risk only in some stratified analyses. FPRP indicated that all positive results in our study are noteworthy findings. In addition, MDR showed that the single-locus model composed of rs2056900 is the best model for predicting susceptibility to CHD. CONCLUSION There are significant associations between susceptibility to CHD and CYP4A22 rs12564525, and rs2056900.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Objective measures of screen time are necessary to better understand the complex relationship between screen time and health outcomes. However, current objective measures of screen time (e.g., passive sensing applications) are limited in identifying the user of the mobile device, a critical limitation in children's screen time research where devices are often shared across a family. Behavioral biometrics, a technology that uses embedded sensors on modern mobile devices to continuously authenticate users, could be used to address this limitation. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize the current state of behavioral biometric authentication and synthesize these findings within the scope of applying behavioral biometric technology to screen time measurement. METHODS We systematically searched five databases (Web of Science Core Collection, Inspec in Engineering Village, Applied Science & Technology Source, IEEE Xplore, PubMed), with the last search in September of 2022. Eligible studies were on the authentication of the user or the detection of demographic characteristics (age, gender) using built-in sensors on mobile devices (e.g., smartphone, tablet). Studies were required to use the following methods for authentication: motion behavior, touch, keystroke dynamics, and/or behavior profiling. We extracted study characteristics (sample size, age, gender), data collection methods, data stream, model evaluation metrics, and performance of models, and additionally performed a study quality assessment. Summary characteristics were tabulated and compiled in Excel. We synthesized the extracted information using a narrative approach. RESULTS Of the 14,179 articles screened, 122 were included in this scoping review. Of the 122 included studies, the most highly used biometric methods were touch gestures (n = 76) and movement (n = 63), with 30 studies using keystroke dynamics and 6 studies using behavior profiling. Of the studies that reported age (47), most were performed exclusively in adult populations (n = 34). The overall study quality was low, with an average score of 5.5/14. CONCLUSION The field of behavioral biometrics is limited by the low overall quality of studies. Behavioral biometric technology has the potential to be used in a public health context to address the limitations of current measures of screen time; however, more rigorous research must be performed in child populations first. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION The protocol has been pre-registered in the Open Science Framework database ( https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/92YCT ).

Abstract
PURPOSE The research aimed to detect the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP4V2 gene and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. METHODS This case-control study included 487 CHD subjects and 487 healthy individuals. Logistic regression was performed to analyze the connection between five SNPs in CYP4V2 (rs1398007, rs13146272, rs3736455, rs1053094, and rs56413992) and CHD risk, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the connection. RESULTS As a result, we found that rs56413992 T allele (OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.09-1.70, p = 0.007) and CT genotype (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.06-1.83, p = 0.017) were significantly associated with an increased risk of CHD in the overall analysis. Precisely, rs56413992 was linked to an elevated risk of CHD in people aged > 60, males, smokers and drinkers. The study also indicated that rs1398007 was linked to an increased CHD risk in drinkers. In addition, rs1053094 was correlated with a decreased risk of CHD complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM), and rs1398007 was correlated with a decreased risk of CHD complicated with hypertension (HTN). CONCLUSION This study was the first to experimentally demonstrate that CYP4V2 rs56413992 was associated with the risk of CHD, which will provide a certain reference for revealing the pathogenesis of CHD.

Abstract
AIM To develop a simple and convenient method based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical features to non-invasively predict tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancer (BC) and to explore the relationship between TIL levels and disease-free survival (DFS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 172 BC patients were enrolled between November 2017 and June 2021 in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into high (≥10%) and low (<10%) TIL groups. Clinicopathological data were collected. MRI features were reviewed by two radiologists. Predictors associated with TILs were determined by using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Kaplan-Meier survival curves based on TIL levels were used to estimate DFS. RESULTS A total of 102 patients with low TILs and 70 patients with high TILs were included in the study. Tumour size (odds ratio [OR], 1.040; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.006, 1.075; p=0.020), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC; OR, 1.003; 95% CI: 1.001, 1.005; p=0.015), clinical axillary lymph node status (CALNS; OR, 3.222; 95% CI: 1.372,7.568; p=0.007), and enhancement pattern (OR, 0.284; 95% CI: 0.143, 0.563; p<0.001) were independently associated with TIL levels. These features were used in the ALSE model (where A is ADC, L is CALNS, S is size, and E is enhancement pattern). High TILs were associated with better DFS (p=0.016). CONCLUSION The ALSE model derived from multiparametric MRI and clinical features could non-invasively predict TIL levels in BC, and high TILs were associated with longer DFS, especially in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive BC and triple-negative BC (TNBC).

Abstract
Interactions between plants and herbivores are central in most ecosystems, but their strength is highly variable. The amount of variability within a system is thought to influence most aspects of plant-herbivore biology, from ecological stability to plant defense evolution. Our understanding of what influences variability, however, is limited by sparse data. We collected standardized surveys of herbivory for 503 plant species at 790 sites across 116° of latitude. With these data, we show that within-population variability in herbivory increases with latitude, decreases with plant size, and is phylogenetically structured. Differences in the magnitude of variability are thus central to how plant-herbivore biology varies across macroscale gradients. We argue that increased focus on interaction variability will advance understanding of patterns of life on Earth.

Abstract
Background The pathophysiological mechanism of ischemic stroke is complex. Traditional risk factors cannot fully or only partially explain the occurrence and development of IS. Genetic factors are getting more and more attention. Our study aimed to explore the association between CYP4F2 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to IS. Methods A total of 1322 volunteers were enrolled to perform an association analysis through SNPStats online software. Using FPRP (false-positive report probability) to detect whether the result is a noteworthy finding. The interaction of SNP-SNP in IS risk was assessed by multi-factor dimensionality reduction. Statistical analysis of this study was mainly completed by SPSS 22.0 software. Results Mutant allele "A" (OR = 1.24) and genotype "AA" (OR = 1.49) or "GA" (OR = 1.26) of CYP4F2-rs2108622 are risk genetic factors for IS. Rs2108622 is significantly associated with an increased risk of IS among subjects who are females, aging >60 years old, with BMI ≥24 kg/m2, and smoking or drinking volunteers. CYP4F2-rs3093106 and -rs3093105 are associated with susceptibility to IS among smoking, drinking subjects, or IS patients complicated with hypertension. Conclusion CYP4F2-rs2108622, -rs3093106, and -rs3093105 are associated with an increased risk of IS.

Abstract
Introduction Ischemic stroke (IS) is a multifactorial and polygenic disease, which is affected by genetic factors. In this study, we explored the role of CYP19A1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IS in the Chinese population. Methods 1302 subjects (651 controls and 651 cases) were recruited in this case-control study. Four candidate SNPs (rs28757157 C/T, rs3751592 C/T, rs3751591 G/A, rs59429575 C/T) of CYP19A1 were selected by the 1000 genomes project database. The association between CYP19A1 SNPs and IS risk was assessed using logistic regression analysis with odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). False-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis further verified the positive results. The interaction of SNP-SNP was analyzed by multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) to predict is risk. Results In the research, CYP19A1 loci (rs28757157 and rs3751591) were associated with the occurrence of IS. The two variants conferred an increased susceptibility to IS in the subjects aged over 60 years old, smokers and drinkers. Rs28757157 was related to the risk of IS in females, non-smokers and subjects with BMI less than 24, while rs59429575 was related to the risk of IS in males and subjects with BMI greater than 24. Conclusion The study revealed that there is a significant association between CYP19A1 loci (rs28757157 and rs3751591) and IS risk in the Chinese Han population, providing a theoretical basis for further exploring its specific role in the pathogenesis of IS.

Abstract
To observe the regulation of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)/Beclin 1 interaction through electroacupuncture (EA) intervention during reperfusion and to investigate the EA mechanism of apoptosis-autophagy interactive regulation against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). A total of 48 adult Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the sham-operated group (group Sham), the model group (group Model), the EA group (group EA), and the JNK inhibitor (SP600125) group (group JNK), with 12 rats in each group. Biospecimens were collected randomly from six rats in each group four hours after reperfusion. Evans Blue and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride double-staining were applied to observe each group's myocardial damage area and risk area. We collected 4 ml of blood by abdominal aortic method to detect serum troponin cTnI level by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). For the remaining six in each group, a part of myocardial tissue below the ligation line was stored in 4% paraformaldehyde for immunohistochemistry and TUNEL staining; the other amount of myocardial tissue was detected by Western blotting to determine the expression levels of Bcl-2, Beclin1, and the phosphorylation levels of Thr69, Ser70, and Ser87 in Bcl-2. In results: electroacupuncture (EA) intervention during reperfusion significantly reduced the myocardial infarction area, cTnI level, and myocardial apoptosis, upregulated Bcl-2 expression, downregulated Beclin 1 expression and inhibited phosphorylation levels of Thr69, Ser70, and Ser87 in Bcl-2. We concluded that EA effectively inhibited apoptosis by upregulating Bcl-2 expression and inhibiting the phosphorylation of Thr69, Ser70, and Ser87 in Bcl-2. This reduced the separation of Bcl-2 and Beclin 1, restrains excessive autophagy, alleviates MIRI, and has a protective effect on myocardial tissue.

Abstract
We investigated changes in concentrations of ADP (adiponectin), LEP (leptin), BHBA (beta-hydroxybutyric acid), NEFA (non-esterified fatty acid), Glucose (Glu) and INS (insulin) in serum of healthy perinatal dairy cows and cows with ketosis. Twenty-one healthy cows and seventeen cows with ketosis from a herd of a total 60 Holstein cows (near dry period i.e. 56 days antepartum) were selected. Blood was collected through the tail vein every 7 days, from 56 day antepartum to 56 day postpartum. Serum ADP, LEP, BHBA, NEFA, Glu, and INS concentrations were determined, and ketosis was diagnosed through serum BHBA (≥1.2 mmol/L). We showed the concentration of serum adipokines and energy balancing indices were stable during antepar- tum period. However, ADP concentration increased while LEP decreased, and there were a significant increase in cows with ketosis compared to that of in healthy cows. Serum BHBA and NEFA concentrations increased significantly at first, and then gradually decreased in both healthy cows and cows with ketosis. However, cows with ketosis showed higher concentrations of BHBA and NEFA which restored later. The serum concentration of Glu in both healthy dairy cows and cows with ketosis showed a decreasing trend. INS concentration in healthy cows was decreased while it was increased in cows with ketosis. The results reflect the extent of hypo- glycemia and lipid mobilization postpartum, suggest IR exists in cows with ketosis while serum ADP and LEP might play roles in the development of ketosis.

Abstract
Aims The aim of the present study was to investigate mutation status of the cKit and PDGFRA genes in patients with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Methods In total, 96 patients with a GIST were included in the study, in which polymerase chain reaction amplification and gene sequencing were used to detect the sequences of exons 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 in KIT and exons 12, 14, and 18 in PDGFRA. Results KIT mutations were detected in 65 cases (67.71%), of which 81.54% (53/65) were located on exon 11, 12.31% (8/65) were located on exon 9, 4.61% (3/65) were located on exon 17, which included a concomitant mutation of exon 9 and 11, and 4.08% (2/65) were located on exon 13, which included a concomitant mutation on exon 11. The most common mutation in exon 11 was deletion, which accounted for 77.36% (41/53) of the cases, followed by a point mutation observed in 22.64% (12/53) of the cases. Among the 31 GIST cases without a KIT mutation, a mutation in PDGFRA was detected in 5 cases (5.21%, 5/96; 16.13%, 5/31). With respect to gender, age, tumor max diameter, tumor position, and mitotic index, there were no significant differences between KIT/PDGFRA mutations and non-mutations. Conclusions GIST mainly occurs in the stomach, and the cytological morphology is mainly spindle cells, and the mutations mainly occur in KIT genes. We need a large sample size to analyze the regularity of GIST gene mutations in Hakka population and understand the independent prognostic correlation of all KIT/PDGFRA genotypes.

Abstract
Background:Synovial fluid cell counts have long been recognised to have utility in the diagnosis and management of arthritis. Few studies have explained the diagnosis value of synovial fluid cell counts in gout patients.Objectives:The study aims to investigate the diagnosis value of synovial fluid cell counts in gout patients.Methods:A total of 185 gout, 64 rheumatoid arthritis(RA), 26 axial spondyloarthritis(axSpA) and 24 osteoarthritis(OA) patients were included into the study. According to serum uric acid(sUA) level on attack, gout patients were divided into normal sUA gout patients and high sUA gout patients. The laboratory data was recorded and ROC curve was performed.Results:The synovial fluid WBC, PBMC, monocyte, PMN and neutrophil in gout patients were higher than OA patients (P<0.05). The synovial fluid PBMC and lymphocyte in gout patients were lower than RA and axSpA patients (P<0.05). Compared with RA, axSpA and OA patients, ROC curve showed that the AUC value of lymphocyte and sUA for gout were 0.728 and 0.881, which were higher than other variables. The optimal cut off value of lymphocyte for gout was 1.362, with sensitivity of 83.3% and specificity of 60.6%. The AUC value of lymphocyte and sUA for normal sUA gout patients were 0.694 and 0.643, which were higher than other variables. The optimal cut off value of lymphocyte for normal sUA gout patients was 1.362, with sensitivity of 81.6% and specificity of 60.6%.Conclusion:Synovial fluid cell counts of gout patients were different from RA, axSpA, and OA patients. Synovial fluid lymphocyte had a higher diagnosis value for gout.References:[1]Scanu A, Oliviero F, Ramonda R, et al.

Abstract
Background:Underexcretion of uric acid is the dominant mechanism leading to hyperuricemia [1] and the 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion is an important measurement. However, it is inconvenient due to accurate timing and complete collection of the specimen.Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid to creatinine ratio (sUACR) and 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion in gout patients.Methods:A total of 110 gout patients fulfilling 2015 ACR/EULAR classification criteria from Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into underexcretion group (<3600 μmol/24h) and non-underexcretion group (≥3600 μmol/24h). The correlation between sUACR and 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion was analyzed by the Pearson’s correlations analysis. Receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to assess the utility of sUACR for discriminating between underexcretion group and non-underexcretion group. Furthermore, the risk factors of uric acid underexcretion were evaluated using binary logistic regression analysis.Results:sUACR in the underexcretion group was significantly lower than the non-underexcretion group (p=0.0001). Besides, sUACR was positively correlated with 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion (r=0.4833, p<0.0001). Furthermore, ROC suggested that the area under the curve (AUC) of sUACR was 0.728, which was higher that of serum uric acid and creatinine. The optimal cutoff point of sUACR was 5.2312, with a sensitivity and specificity of 71.9% and 67.9%. Logistic analysis results revealed that decreased sUACR (<5.2312) was an independent risk factor of underexcretion of uric acid (OR =5.510, 95% CI: 1.952-15.550, P=0.001).Conclusion:sUACR is lower in gout patients with underexcretion of uric acid and may serve as a useful and convenient marker of assessing underexcretion of uric acid in gout patients.References:[1]Perez-Ruiz F, Calabozo M, Erauskin GG, Ruibal A, Herrero-Beites AM.

Abstract
Background:Gout is a crystal-related arthropathy caused by monosodium urate deposition, which is a common and treatable form of inflammatory arthritis and becoming more prevalent[1]. A few studies have found that gout patients have an increased prevalence of simple renal cysts[2, 3]. The relationship between gout and renal cysts is still insufficient.Objectives:Compare the difference between gout with renal cyst and without renal cyst.Methods:We retrospectively collected data on 200 gout patients. The data includes age, gender, uric acid, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, 24-hour urine collection, and whether they have kidney stones, renal cysts, coronary heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Chi-square and exact Fisher’s tests were utilized, while continuous variables were assessed by Student’s t-test. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:Of the 200 gout patients, 56 have kidney cysts(28%). In gout patients who had a renal cyst, were significantly older than patients without renal cysts (59.14 vs. 46.87, P = 0.000), more number of people suffering from coronary heart disease (7 vs. 5, P = 0.016). The glomerular filtration rate was lower (58.5 vs. 71.6, P = 0.000), with lower urinary creatinine, uric acid, and urinary potassium.Conclusion:Gout patients with and without simple renal cysts have significant differences in age, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, GFR, serum creatinine, urine creatinine, and urine potassium.References:[1]N.

Abstract
Large-area X-ray imaging is one of the most widely used imaging modalities that spans several scientific and technological fields. Currently, the direct X-ray conversion materials that are being commercially used for large-area (> 8 cm × 4 cm without tiling) flat panel applications, such as amorphous selenium (a-Se), have usable sensitivities of up to only 30 keV. Although there have been many promising candidates (such as polycrystalline HgI2 and CdTe), none of the semiconductors were able to assuage the requirement for high energy (> 40 keV) large-area X-ray imaging applications due to inadequate cost, manufacturability, and long-term performance metrics. In this study, we successfully demonstrate the potential of the hybrid Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite-based semiconductor detectors in satisfying all the requirements for its successful commercialization in synchrotron and medical imaging. This new generation of hybrid detectors demonstrates low dark current under electric fields needed for high sensitivity X-ray imaging applications. The detectors have a linear response to X-ray energy and applied bias, no polarization effects at a moderate bias, and signal stability over long usage durations. Also, these detectors have demonstrated a stable detection response under BNL’s National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) 70 keV monochromatic synchrotron beamline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of patients with biliary atresia (BA) after Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) varies, and precisely predicting the outcomes of KPE before surgery is still challenging. METHODS A total of 158 patients who underwent KPE in our hospital were included in this study. The patients in the training cohort were recruited from January 2012 to October 2017 (n = 118), and then, those in the validation cohort were recruited from November 2017 to April 2019 (n = 40). Combined nomogram models were developed based on two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D SWE) values and other biomarkers. The utility of the proposed models was evaluated by C-index. RESULTS 2D SWE played a potentially important role in predicting native liver survival (NLS) of BA patients with a C-index of 0.69 (0.63 to 0.75) in the training cohort and 0.76 (0.67 to 0.85) in the validation cohort. The nomogram A based on 2D SWE values, age, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio (APRI) had a better C-index in the training cohort [0.74 (0.68-0.80) vs. 0.66 (0.60-0.73), P = 0.017] and in the validation cohort [0.78 (0.70-0.86) vs. 0.60 (0.49-0.71), P = 0.002] than the nomogram B (without 2D SWE). Using risk score developed from nomogram A, we successfully predicted 88.0% (22/25) of patients in the training cohort and 75.0% (9/12) in the validation cohort to have survival time of less than 12 months after KPE. CONCLUSION The combined nomogram model based on 2D SWE values, age, GGT and APRI prior to KPE can effectively predict NLS in BA infants.

Abstract
Background:Gout is a common kind of inflammatory arthritis with metabolic disorders. The detailed pathogenesis of gout remains largely unknown. Metabolomics has become an important tool in detecting the new pathogenesis and biomarkers. However, few studies have focused on the serum metabolic profiling of gout.Objectives:The study aims to investigate the metabolic profiling of gout patients with ultra-performance liquid chromatograph quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS), and explore the potential pathological mechanisms and biomarkers.Methods:Serum samples from 31 gout patients and 31 healthy controls were analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. Principal components analysis (PCA), orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and Hierarchical clustering analysis were performed to detect different compounds between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and pathway analysis of the different metabolites were conducted.Results:A total of 9192 compounds were detected, of which 138 significantly different compounds were selected, according to the criteria of (Variable importance in projection (VIP)>3,P<0.05). Eventually, 96 reliable metabolites matched the HMDB database were confirmed. ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) value of 4-hydroxytriazolam for gout was 0.933 (CI95%: 0.875-0.992), yielding a highest AUC value, with the sensitivity of 83.9% and specificity of 93.5%. The pathway analysis results indicated that the significantly different metabolites were mainly involved in “primary bile acid biosynthesis”, “purine metabolism” and “glycerophospholipid metabolism”.Conclusion:The serum metabolic profiling in gout patients were significantly different from healthy subjects. 4-hydroxytriazolam was the potential biomarkers. Primary bile acid biosynthesis may be a novel metabolic pathway of gout.References:[1]Banoei MM, et al. Metabolomics and Biomarker Discovery in Traumatic Brain Injury.

Abstract
Background:The prevalence of gouty patients with ulcerations over tophi are increasing over time and it has been reported that gouty patients have significantly poor quality of life (QoL) compared to those healthy controls. [1, 2] there is no study on comparison of the QoL in patients with or without ulceration over tophi.Objectives:To compare the QoL in gout patients with or without ulcerations over tophi.Methods:A total of 79 inpatients with gout who were admitted to Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were included. Among them, ulcerations were identified in 28 patients. Short Form-36 Scales (SF-36) were chosen to assess patients. Differences between the groups were tested with Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables, and Chi-square tests for categorical variables.Results:Of 79 subjects, 74 were male, mean age was 54.23±14.3 years, disease duration was 10.94±7.06 years. Gouty patients had moderate- to high-quality levels in general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health (median: 65, 75, 75, 88, and88, respectively), while had low levels of quality in role physical, and bodily pain (median: 0, and 22, respectively). Patients presenting with ulcerations over tophi had worse scores on five SF-36 domains, the mental component summary (MCS) and the physical component summary (PCS) than gout patients without ulcerations [mean (SD); P < 0.05 for all]: Bodily pain, 30.86(31.59) vs 35.17(33.40); General health, 49.46(27.01) vs 64.17(23.69); Vitality, 57.14(32.53) vs 72.84(26.38); Mental health, 75.4(22.43) vs 83.05(20.96); Reported health transition, 3.58(0.89) vs 3.78(1.42); MCS, 52.62(21.82) vs 66.65(21.44); PCS, 35.85(21.17) vs 46.67(23.86).Conclusion:Patients with ulcerations over tophi present much worse QoL compared those without ulcerations. Our study suggests that the presence of ulceration over tophi further deteriorates the QoL in gout patients.References:[1]Z. Huang, X. Liu, Y.

Abstract
Background:Compliance to urate-lowering therapy (ULT) is poor in gout patients, which contributes to increased frequency of acute gout attacks, deposition of tophi and urate nephropathy [1]. Optimistic status is probably a potential and considerable factor affecting compliance to ULT in gout patients.Objectives:To compare optimistic status between gout patients and healthy controls, and also between gout patients with good and poor compliance. Relationship between optimistic status and compliance to ULT, sUA target achievement of gout patients were assessed as well.Methods:This was a monocentric and observational study which was performed from August 2018 to December 2019. Adult patients who met the 2015 gout classification criteria were included in this study. The healthy controls were individuals who were free of gout, hyperuricemia and other rheumatic diseases from the physical examination center of our hospital. Demographic data, including age, gender and education were collected from all individuals. Serum uric acid (sUA) were collected from gout patients at enrollment and again after 3 months. Disease duration of gout, visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain were also assessed for gout patients at enrollment. Compliance to ULT was measured using the medication possession ratio (MPR) in the following 3 months. Poor compliance was defined as MPR<0.8 and good compliance was defined as MPR≥0.8. All subjects completed the life orientation test-revised (LOT-R) for optimistic status assessment.Results:Five hundred and thirty gout patients and 307 healthy controls matched by age (41.4±12.3 vs. 42.1±9.3 years), gender (male 97.1% vs. 95.1%) and education (college graduated 54.2% vs. 58.0%) were included in this study. Of the 530 gout patients, the mean disease duration was 5.7±4.9 years, and 292 (55.1%) patients’ MPR were lower than 0.8. There was no statistic difference in LOT-R between gout patients and healthy controls (19.0±2.4 vs. 19.2±2.5, P>0.05) (Table 1). Gout patients with poor compliance (MPR<0.8) had higher level of sUA (525.5±138.0 vs. 471.2±152.5 μmol/L, P<0.05), followup sUA (450.1±154.5 vs. 361.6±120.0 μmol/L, P<0.05) and higher LOT-R (19.6±2.6 vs. 17.8±1.7, P<0.05) than those with good compliance (MPR≥0.8). Of the 292 gout patients with poor compliance, there were only 83 (28.4%) patients achieved sUA target after 3 months, and their LOT-R were significantly lower than those did not achieve sUA target (18.8±2.1 vs. 19.6±2.4, P<0.05). Finally, LOT-R correlated positively with sUA (r=0.131, P<0.05) and followup sUA (r=0.09, P<0.05), but negatively with MPR (r=-0.473, P<0.05) of gout patients (Table 2).Table 1Demographic and optimistic status of gout patients and healthy controlsVariablesGout patients(n=530)Controls(n=307)PAge (years)41.4±12.342.1±9.30.116Male gender, n (%)511 (96.4)292 (95.1)0.368College graduated, n (%)287 (54.2)178 (58.0)0.312LOT-R19.0±2.419.2±2.50.189LOT-R:life orientation test-revisedTable 2Correlation analysis between LOT-R and clinical variables in gout patientsVariablesLOT-RrPAge00.994Disease duration-0.0580.182VAS0.0340.432sUA0.1310.003*Followup sUA0.1260.016*MPR-0.393<0.001*LOT-R: life orientation test-revised,VAS:visual analogue scale,sUA:serum uric acid,MPR:medication possession ratio*P<0.05Conclusion:Gout patients share similar optimistic status to healthy controls.

Abstract
The Intrauterine fetal development process is complicated and affected by many regulating factors such as maternal nutritional status, transcription factors and adipokines. Adipokines are kinds of active substances secreted by adipose tissue, including more than 50 kinds of molecules. To explore the correlation between calf birth weights and adipokines including adiponectin, leptin, visfatin, and IGF-1 in cows venous and venous cord blood. Fifty-four healthy multiparous Chinese Holstein cows were used; in which, cows with a calf weight less than 40 kg were included in group A (n=9); those with a calf weight between 40 kg~45 kg were included in group B (n=25) and ≥45 kg were included in group C (n=20), venous blood and cord venous blood was collected. An ELISA kit was used to evaluate the concentration of adiponectin, leptin, visfatin, and IGF-1, correlations between index-index and index-calf birth weight were analysed. In both cows venous and cord venous blood, adiponectin, leptin, visfatin, and IGF-1 levels were significantly correlated with each other (p⟨0.01), and levels of these adipokines in venous blood were significantly higher than cord venous blood (p⟨0.01). Adiponectin, leptin, visfatin, and IGF-1 in venous cord blood were positively correlated with calf birth weights, and significantly correlated with calf birth weights respectively (p⟨0.01). Our study showed that adiponectin, leptin, and IGF-1 were found in venous blood and cord venous blood, and adiponectin, leptin, and IGF-1 in venous and cord venous blood potentially inter-regulated each other; adiponectin, leptin, and IGF-1 in venous blood were not significantly correlated with calf birth weights, while adiponectin, leptin, visfatin, and IGF-1 in venous cord blood were significantly correlated with calf birth weights, respectively.

Abstract
Through phase-space analysis of Dumond diagrams for a flat Bragg crystal, a single bent Laue crystal and a monochromator consisting of double-bent Laue crystals, this work shows that it is possible to match the flat Bragg crystal to both the single-crystal and double-crystal Laue monochromators. The matched system has the advantage that the phase space of the bent crystal's output beam is much larger than that of the flat crystal, making the combined system stable. Here it is suggested that such a matched system can be used at synchrotron facilities to realize X-ray dark-field imaging, analyzer-based imaging and diffraction-enhanced imaging at beamlines using double-Laue monochromators.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To screen variants in pre-mRNA Splicing genes in 95 Chinese autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) families. METHODS Clinical examination and pedigree analysis were performed. Targeted exome sequencing (TES) and / or Sanger sequencing were performed to detect the variants in genes of Splicing factors and conduct intra-familiar segregation analysis with DNA available. In silico analysis was performed to predict pathogenicity of variants in protein level and in vitro splicing assays were performed to compare splicing variants with their corresponding wildtype about their splicing effect. RESULTS In this study, total nine different variants were identified in PRPF31, SNRNP200, and PRPF8 respectively, including six PRPF31 variants [five novel variants 322+1G>A, c.527+2T>G, c.590T>C(p.Leu197Pro), c.1035_1036insGC (p.Pro346Argfs X18), and c.1224dupG (p.Gln409AlafsX66) plus one reported variant c.1060C>T (p.Arg354X)], a recurrent PRPF8 variant c.6930G>T (p.Arg2310Ser), two SNRNP200 variants [one heterozygous and homozygous SNRNP200 recurrent variant c.3260G>A (p.Ser1087Leu), and a reported heterozygous c.2042G>A(p.Arg681His)]. In family 20009, incomplete penetrance was observed. A novel PRPF31 missense variant c.590T>C (p.Leu197Pro) was predicted to be pathogenic in protein level via in silico analysis and in vitro splicing assay demonstrated that two novel splicing PRPF31 variants c.322+1G>A and c.527+2T>G affect splicing compared with the wildtype. CONCLUSIONS In our studies, RP-causing variants of pre-mRNA Splicing genes (PRPF31, PRPF8 and SNRNP200) were identified in nine of the ninety-five adRP families respectively, which extend the spectra of RP variant and phenotype. And we provide the first example that SNRNP200-related RP can be caused by both heterozygous and homozygous variants of this gene.

Abstract
Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most severe cardiovascular diseases. Cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA 1 (CDKN2B‐AS1) is a significant susceptibility locus for cardiovascular disease by regulating inflammation response and cell cycle. The aim of this study was to assess whether CDKN2B‐AS1 polymorphisms are associated with CHD risk in the Chinese Han population. Methods A total of 501 CHD patients and 496 healthy controls were recruited from Central South University Xiangya School of Medicine Affiliated Haikou Hospital, five CDKN2B‐AS1 polymorphisms (rs10115049, rs75227345, rs2383205, rs10738606, and rs1333049) were analyzed by the Agena MassARRAY platform. The association of CDKN2B‐AS1 polymorphisms and CHD risk was determined by odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using logistic regression. Results CDKN2B‐AS1 rs10738606 was significantly associated with CHD under codominant (p = .03), dominant (p = .019), recessive (p = .010), additive (p = .003), and allele (p = .003) models. Gender‐based subgroup tests showed that four polymorphisms (rs75227345, rs2383205, rs10738606 and rs1333049) were associated with CHD in males (p < .05). And age‐based subgroup tests indicated that rs2383205 and rs10738606 were associated with CHD among individuals, respectively (p < .05). For CHD patients, rs1333049 decreased the risk of diabetes under heterozygote (p = .014) and dominant (p = .024) models. Conclusions In conclusion, CDKN2B‐AS1 polymorphisms were associated with CHD risk in the combined or subgroup tests, suggesting an important role of CDKN2B‐AS1 in CHD susceptibility.

Abstract
Elucidation of the pig microRNAome is essential for interpreting functional elements of the genome and understanding the genetic architecture of complex traits. Here, we extracted small RNAs from skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, and we compared their expression levels between one Western breed (Yorkshire) and seven indigenous Chinese breeds. We detected the expression of 172 known porcine microRNAs (miRNAs) and 181 novel miRNAs. Differential expression analysis found 92 and 12 differentially expressed miRNAs in adipose and muscle tissue respectively. We found that different Chinese breeds shared common directional miRNA expression changes compared to Yorkshire pigs. Some miRNAs differentially expressed across multiple Chinese breeds, including ssc-miR-129-5p, ssc-miR-30 and ssc-miR-150, are involved in adipose tissue function. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs are associated mainly with signaling pathways rather than metabolic and biosynthetic processes. The miRNA-target gene and miRNA-phenotypic traits networks identified many hub miRNAs that regulate a large number of target genes or phenotypic traits. Specifically, we found that intramuscular fat content is regulated by the greatest number of miRNAs in muscle tissue. This study provides valuable new candidate miRNAs that will aid in the improvement of meat quality and production.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition initiated by microorganisms and is positively linked to systemic conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mellitus. OBJECTIVES To prospectively investigate associations between empirically derived clusters of IgG antibodies against 19 selected periodontal microorganisms and cancer mortality in a representative sample of the US population. METHODS We evaluated 6,491 participants aged ≥40 y from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988 to 1994), who had complete data on IgG antibody titers against 19 selected periodontal microorganisms and were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer. In a prior study, antibodies were categorized into 4 mutually exclusive groups via cluster analysis: red-green, orange-red, yellow-orange, and orange-blue. Cluster scores were estimated by summing z scores of the antibody titers making up each cluster. Participants were followed up to death until December 31, 2011. Cox proportional hazard models were applied to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for all-cancer mortality by tertiles of cluster scores. RESULTS During follow-up for a median of 15.9 y, there were 2,702 deaths (31.3%), including 631 cancer-related deaths (8.1%). After adjusting for multiple confounders, the orange-blue cluster was inversely associated with cancer mortality (tertile 2 vs. tertile 1: HR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.54 to 0.84; tertile 3 vs tertile 1: HR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.46 to 0.84). The association between the yellow-orange cluster and all-cancer mortality was also inverse but not significant, and the orange-red cluster and the red-green cluster were not associated with all-cancer mortality. CONCLUSIONS Antibodies against Eubacterium nodatum and Actinomyces naeslundii may be novel predictors of cancer mortality. If further studies establish a causal relationship between these antibodies and cancer mortality, they could be targets to prevent possible systemic effects of periodontal disease with potential interventions to raise their levels. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER STATEMENT Periodontal antibodies against Eubacterium nodatum and Actinomyces naeslundii were inversely associated with cancer mortality among adults followed up for an average of 16 y. Periodontal antibodies may predict cancer mortality.

Abstract
Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are possible biomarkers for many diseases, but the knowledge of circRNAs in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains limited. This study aimed to assess the expression of circRNAs in PBMCs from patients with SLE and healthy individuals by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Methods In total, 128 circRNAs were significantly differentially expressed including 39 upregulated and 89 downregulated circRNAs in four new-onset SLE patients compared with three healthy controls. After verification of the four candidate circRNAs in 49 patients with SLE and 37 controls using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays, a previously undescribed circRNA with potential translation activity, circPTPN22, was selected to confirm its clinical significance. Results Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that the parent gene of circPTPN22 was protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22), a potent regulator of T cell activation. The downregulation of circPTPN22 in patients with SLE was strongly negatively correlated with their Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) scores. circRNA-miRNA-mRNA co-expression network analysis indicated a correlation between circPTPN22 and the miRNAs and mRNAs related to immunological regulation including the development of SLE. Patients with higher SLEDAI scores had lower circPTPN22 expression levels, and long-term hormone treatment significantly increased circPTPN22 levels. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that circPTPN22 has good diagnostic value for SLE. Conclusion Our data demonstrated the aberrant expression of circRNAs in patients with SLE compared with healthy controls; circPTPN22 might function as a diagnostic and disease severity indicator in SLE.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease with most common metastatic sites of liver, lung, brain, and bone. Endocrine resistance in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) advanced BC (ABC) cancer is a clinical challenge. ESR1 mutations are a key mechanism in acquired resistance, primarily occurs after exposure to endocrine therapy such as aromatase inhibitors but also selective estrogen modulators and degraders (i.e. Tamoxifen and Fulvestrant). Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) enumeration is a prognostic biomarker in ABC but the relation between the onset of ESR1 mutations and CTCs status is still unclear. Aim of this project is to define the clinical behavior of ESR1 mutated ABC in terms of metastasizing potential, through CTC enumeration and pattern; and to establish ESR1 mutated HR+ ABC PDX models able to recapitulate these characteristics.
Methods: CTCs and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) were characterized in 55 HR+ ABC patients. ESR1 mutations status from 55 patient plasma cell-free DNA were generated using Guardant Next Generation Sequencing. Samples were also examined for numbers of CTCs by CellSearch. Association of ESR1 mutations with sites of distant organ metastasis and with CTC enumeration was analyzed by Chi square test and Kruskal–Wallis test, respectively. In preclinical model development, six samples of pleural effusion-derived tumor cells from Stage IV HR+ ABC patients were collected to establish HR+ ABC with ESR1 mutation PDX tumor model and its derived 3D organoid/spheroid cultures
Results: ESR1 mutations were identified in 10 out of 55 patients (4 Y537S variant and 3 D538G variant, 4 other variants, 1 patient with both variants). In 55 patients, 72 visceral vs 27 bone metastatic incidences were observed; the data indicated 9 observed vs 4.5 expected in ESR1 mutated and 16 observed vs 20.5 expected in wild type (WT) (P=0.003) for liver metastasis; 10 observed vs 7.1 expected in ESR1 mutated and 29 observed vs 31.9 expected in WT (P=0.026) for bone metastasis. Further liver metastasis analysis of individual hot spot mutation site indicated 4 observed vs 1.8 expected in Y537S and 21 observed vs 23.2 expected in WT (P=0.037); and 3 observed vs 1.4 expected in D538G and 22 observed vs 23.6 expected in wild type (P=0.088). The analysis of correlation/distribution between CTCs numbers and ESR1 mutated suggested CTCs median of 13 (IQR 7-49) in ESR1 mutated and 0 (IQR 0-4) in WT HR+ patients (P=0.0044). Four ABC PDX tumor models were developed in immunodeficient NSG female mice demonstrated by pathology to have highly heterogeneous characteristics and metastatic features of the origin patient tumor, in particular, breast fat pad xenografted PDX tumor can result in metastasis to liver and lung tissue. In addition, two patient 3D tumor organoid/spheroid cultures were successfully established.
Conclusions: ESR1 mutated ABC is associated with more aggressive (Stage IV) clinical behavior demonstrated by association with visceral metastases and CTCs detection. ESR1-mutated PDX models recapitulate aggressive features of the disease and can be used for preclinical testing of novel agents in endocrine resistant disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 (RTEL1), a telomere length-related gene, is closely linked to cancer and age-related diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms in the RTEL1 gene and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. METHODS In this case-control study, which includes samples from 596 CHD patients and 603 healthy controls, five SNPs in RTEL1 were selected. The genotypes were studied using the Agena MassARRAY platform, and the statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, genetic model analysis, and haplotype analysis. RESULTS In the allele model, using the chi-square test, we found that the patients with the "G" allele of rs6010620 and the "C" allele of rs4809324 in the RTEL1 gene showed a decreased risk of CHD once the results were adjusted for age and gender. In the genetic model, logistic regression analyses revealed that the rs6010620 polymorphism conferred a decreased risk of CHD in the codominant model (OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.31-0.88, p = 0.007 for the "G/G" genotype) and the recessive model (OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.30-0.80, p = 0.004 for the "G/G" genotype). In addition, the haplotype "Grs6010620 Trs6010621 Trs4809324 " of RTEL1 was associated with a 0.03-fold decreased risk of CHD once the results were adjusted for age and gender (OR = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.01-0.12, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our findings have demonstrated that the genetic variants of RTEL1 may have a protective role against CHD risk.

Abstract
Pregnant women and infants are at an increased risk of severe disease after influenza infection. Maternal immunization is a potent tool to protect both these at-risk groups. While the primary aim of maternal influenza vaccination is to protect the mother, a secondary benefit is the transfer of protective antibodies to the infant. A recent study using the tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine indicated that children born to mothers immunized in the second trimester of pregnancy had the highest antibody titres compared to children immunized in the third trimester. The aim of the current study was to investigate how the timing of maternal influenza immunization impacts infant antibody levels at birth. Antibody titres were assessed in maternal and cord blood samples by both immunoglobulin (Ig)G-binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and haemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI). Antibody titres to the H1N1 component were significantly higher in infants born to mothers vaccinated in either the second or third trimesters than infants born to unvaccinated mothers. HAI levels in the infant were significantly lower when maternal immunization was performed less than 4 weeks before birth. These studies confirm that immunization during pregnancy increases the antibody titre in infants. Importantly, antibody levels in cord blood were significantly higher when the mother was vaccinated in either trimesters 2 or 3, although titres were significantly lower if the mother was immunized less than 4 weeks before birth. Based on these data, seasonal influenza vaccination should continue to be given in pregnancy as soon as it becomes available.

Abstract
Objective:To explore the influence and regulatory mechanism of TES gene on proliferation and migration of nasopharyngeal squamous cancer(NSPC) 5-8F cell.Method:DNA fragment encoding TES was obtained by RT-PCR method from the human highly metastatic nasopharyngeal squamous carcinoma cell line 5-8F. we identified the recombinant plasmid pEGFP-N1-TES by RT-PCR and DAN sequencing. we stablely transfected the pEGFP-N1-TES into the human highly metastatic nasopharyngeal squamous carcinoma cell line 5-8F, and detected the expression of TES by the RT-PCR and Western-blot method. And detected the impact of 5-8F cells transfection by flow cytometry and scratch tests.Result:Flow cytometry analysis showed that the apoptotic in 5-8F/pEGFP- N1-TES was significantly higher than non-transected TES and 5-8F/pEGFP-N1,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Cell scratch experiments showed that the 5-8F/pEGFP-N1-TES group cell migration rate was obviously lower than nontransected TES and 5-8F/pEGFP-N1 group in the first 12 h, 24 h and 48 h.The difference was significant(P<0.01).Conclusion:The stable transfectant cell model was established successfully. TES in vitro could significantly increase apoptosis and reduce the athletic ability. And thus TES gene might be a novel candidate of tumor-suppressor.

Abstract
With reduced dimensionality, it is often easier to modify the properties of ultrathin films than their bulk counterparts. Strain engineering, usually achieved by choosing appropriate substrates, has been proven effective in controlling the properties of perovskite oxide films. An emerging alternative route for developing new multifunctional perovskite is by modification of the oxygen octahedral structure. Here we report the control of structural oxygen octahedral rotation in ultrathin perovskite SrRuO_{3} films by the deposition of a SrTiO_{3} capping layer, which can be lithographically patterned to achieve local control. Using a scanning Sagnac magnetic microscope, we show an increase in the Curie temperature of SrRuO_{3} due to the suppression octahedral rotations revealed by the synchrotron x-ray diffraction. This capping-layer-based technique may open new possibilities for developing functional oxide materials.

Abstract
Engineering the electronic band structure of two-dimensional electron liquids (2DELs) confined at the surface or interface of transition metal oxides is key to unlocking their full potential. Here we describe a new approach to tailoring the electronic structure of an oxide surface 2DEL demonstrating the lateral modulation of electronic states with atomic scale precision on an unprecedented length scale comparable to the Fermi wavelength. To this end, we use pulsed laser deposition to grow anatase TiO2 films terminated by a (1 × 4) in-plane surface reconstruction. Employing photostimulated chemical surface doping we induce 2DELs with tunable carrier densities that are confined within a few TiO2 layers below the surface. Subsequent in situ angle-resolved photoemission experiments demonstrate that the (1 × 4) surface reconstruction provides a periodic lateral perturbation of the electron liquid. This causes strong backfolding of the electronic bands, opening of unidirectional gaps and a saddle point singularity in the density of states near the chemical potential.

Abstract
The bisphosphonates (BPs) has been widely used as anti-resorptive agents owing to their anti-osteoclatic action. However, patients treated with BPs for a long time may subsequently develop bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). Now, the exact pathogenesis of the BRONJ is poorly understood. There were also no standard diagnosis and treatment methods for this complication. The maxilla necrosis related to BRONJ can cause maxillary sinusitis, fistula, and sinus tract, which arose more attention from the otolaryngologists. In this article, the pathogenesis, symptoms, and treatments of BRONJ are systemically reviewed. The aim is to deepen the recognition of this complication to otolaryngologists, and to avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. It is hoped that an early diagnosis and suitable treatments could be provided for a good prognosis in such patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction:
Breast cancer screening relies upon mammography, but for women with dense breast tissue this method is often uninformative. Routine screening identifies suspicious breast lesions in some women, but the pain and risk associated with follow-up biopsies along with the poor accuracy of traditional histopathology urgently call for improved approaches to breast cancer screening. This is especially important for those high-risk patients for whom mammography is of limited value. We describe a non-invasive liquid biopsy method of profiling plasma exosome preps designed to improve the accuracy and safety of breast cancer screening for women with dense breast tissue.
Results:
We incubated plasma samples (300 microliters per sample) from breast cancer patients (n=60) and a control cohort (n=60) with a high-complexity DNA aptamer library using a modified SELEX scheme, termed “adaptive dynamic artificial poly-ligand targeting (ADAPTTM)”. Differentially bound (cancer vs. non-cancer) aptamers were recovered from precipitated exosomes and were identified by deep sequencing. Two thousand aptamer sequences were resynthesized and used to probe a larger set of 500 plasma samples from a patient cohort (n=206) and a control cohort comprised of self-reported healthy volunteers (n=117) and patients whose biopsies led to a diagnosis of non-cancer (n=177). We employed several statistical models to build a cancer/non-cancer predictor, including a Random Generalized Linear Model (RGLM) and a Random Forest Model (RFM). Both models yielded an equivalent classification performance with areas under the receiver-operator characteristic curve (ROC AUC) of 0.7. Testing the prediction performance by 100 Out-of-Bag permutations or by pre-filtered (read cutoff and estimated sample size) cross-validation (CV) resulted in ROC AUC values of 0.66 and 0.62, respectively. When samples were randomly assigned to groups, the aptamers were no longer able to distinguish the groups (ROC AUC = 0.54), indicating that the underlying information driving the model is truly specific to cancer. Importantly, incorporation of BIRAD results as a clinical covariate did not influence model performance, signifying that predictions by ADAPTTM were independent of breast tissue density.
Conclusions:
We have identified a set of 2000 DNA aptamers that distinguish women with breast cancer from women without breast cancer. Our liquid biopsy approach requires only 300 microliters of plasma and is amenable to high-throughput processing. By employing a number of statistical approaches including rigorous cross-validation, we consistently achieve cross validation ROC AUC values approaching 0.7. The performance of the predictor was not affected by BIRAD scores, supporting its potential utility in difficult cases where imaging is insufficient, such as in women with dense breast tissue. Further optimization of the aptamer library and testing on additional samples should improve performance. Upon complete validation, an ADAPTTM – derived breast cancer test may serve as a vital diagnostic adjunct that can be easily incorporated into standard clinical practice.
