Abstract
Objective: To explore the expression of KAP1 (KRAB-associated protein 1, KAP1) in Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) based on the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and clinical trials. And elucidate the correlation between the expression of KAP1 and the clinical pathological parameters of patients with MPM and its prognosis. Methods: In April 2022, Based on the second generation KAP1mRNA sequencing data and clinicopathological data of MPM patients downloaded from TCGA database, the correlation between KAP1mRNA expression and clinical parameters was analyzed, and the correlation between KAP1 protein expression and clinicopathological parameters and its prognostic value were analyzed based on Chuxiong data set cohort clinical samples. The expression of KAP1 mRNA in MPM samples and matched normal tumor adjacent tissues was detected by qRT-PCR, and the expression of KAP1 protein in MPM and normal pleural tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and Westernblotting. To construct a Kaplan-Meier model to explore the effect of KAP1 expression on the prognosis of MPM patients, and to analyze the prognostic factors of MPM patients by Cox regression. Results: qRT-PCR and Western blotting detection showed that the expression levels of KAP1 gene in four different MPM cells (NCI-H28, NCI-H2052, NCI-H2452, and MTSO-211H) were significantly higher than those in normal pleural mesothelial cells Met-5A. qRT-PCR, Western blotting and IHC results demonstrated that the mRNA and protein expression levels of KAP1 in MPM tissues was significantly higher than that in matching normal mesothelial tissues, and the expression level of KAP1 protein was correlated with TP 53 protein expression levels and serum CEA levels (P<0.05) . The mRNA expression level was significantly correlated with the prognosis, The overall survival time of mesothelioma patients with high KAP1mRNA expression was significantly shorter (HR=3.7, Logrank P<0.001) . Tumor type, age and the mRNA expression were related to the prognosis of MPM patients (P<0.05) . Multivariate analysis showed that tumor type and KAP1 mRNA expression level were independent prognostic factors of MPM patients (P<0.05) . Conclusion: In this study, TCGA database and Chuxiong cohort experiment samples were used to collect the relevant information of KAP1 expression in malignant melanoma tissues. It was confirmed that KAP1 is highly expressed in MPM tissues. The mRNA expression level and pathological type are correlated with the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer has a low 5-year survival rate and high mortality. Human β-defensin-1 (hBD-1) may play an integral function in the innate immune system, contributing to the recognition and destruction of cancer cells. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the process of cell differentiation and growth. AIM To investigate the effect of hBD-1 on the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and autophagy in human colon cancer SW620 cells. METHODS CCK8 assay was utilized for the detection of cell proliferation and determination of the optimal drug concentration. Colony formation assay was employed to assess the effect of hBD-1 on SW620 cell proliferation. Bioinformatics was used to screen potentially biologically significant lncRNAs related to the mTOR pathway. Additionally, p-mTOR (Ser2448), Beclin1, and LC3II/I expression levels in SW620 cells were assessed through Western blot analysis. RESULTS hBD-1 inhibited the proliferative ability of SW620 cells, as evidenced by the reduction in the colony formation capacity of SW620 cells upon exposure to hBD-1. hBD-1 decreased the expression of p-mTOR (Ser2448) protein and increased the expression of Beclin1 and LC3II/I protein. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis identified seven lncRNAs (2 upregulated and 5 downregulated) related to the mTOR pathway. The lncRNA TCONS_00014506 was ultimately selected. Following the inhibition of the lncRNA TCONS_00014506, exposure to hBD-1 inhibited p-mTOR (Ser2448) and promoted Beclin1 and LC3II/I protein expression. CONCLUSION hBD-1 inhibits the mTOR pathway and promotes autophagy by upregulating the expression of the lncRNA TCONS_00014506 in SW620 cells.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate respiratory virus infection in children with septic shock in pediatric care units (PICU) in China and its influence on clinical outcomes. Methods: The clinical data of children with septic shock in children's PICU from January 2018 to December 2019 in 10 Chinese hospitals were retrospectively collected. They were divided into the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 groups according to the onset of disease, and the characteristics and composition of respiratory virus in the 2 groups were compared. Matching age, malignant underlying diseases, bacteria, fungi and other viruses, a new database was generated using 1∶1 propensity score matching method. The children were divided into the respiratory virus group and non-respiratory virus group according to the presence or absence of respiratory virus infection; their clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment were compared by t-test, rank sum test and Chi-square test. The correlation between respiratory virus infection and the clinical outcomes was analyzed by logistic regression. Results: A total of 1 247 children with septic shock were included in the study, of them 748 were male; the age was 37 (11, 105) months. In the pre-and post-COVID-19 groups, there were 530 and 717 cases of septic shock, respectively; the positive rate of respiratory virus was 14.9% (79 cases) and 9.8% (70 cases); the seasonal distribution of septic shock was 28.9% (153/530) and 25.9% (185/717) in autumn, and 30.3% (161/530) and 28.3% (203/717) in winter, respectively, and the corresponding positive rates of respiratory viruses were 19.6% (30/153) and 15.7% (29/185) in autumn, and 21.1% (34/161) and 15.3% (31/203) in winter, respectively. The positive rates of influenza virus and adenovirus in the post-COVID-19 group were lower than those in the pre-COVID-19 group (2.1% (15/717) vs. 7.5% (40/530), and 0.7% (5/717) vs. 3.2% (17/530), χ2=21.51 and 11.08, respectively; all P<0.05). Rhinovirus virus were higher than those in the pre-Covid-19 group (1.7% (12/717) vs. 0.2% (1/530), χ2=6.51, P=0.011). After propensity score matching, there were 147 cases in both the respiratory virus group and the non-respiratory virus group. Rate of respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress, rate of disseminated coagulation dysfunction, and immunoglobulin usage of the respiratory virus group were higher than those of non-respiratory virus group (77.6% (114/147) vs. 59.2% (87/147), 17.7% (26/147) vs. 4.1% (6/147), 15.6% (25/147) vs. 4.1% (7/147), and 35.4% (52/147) vs. 21.4% (32/147); χ2=11.07, 14.02, 11.06 and 6.67, all P<0.05); and PICU hospitalization of the former was longer than that of the later (7 (3, 16) vs. 3 (1, 7)d, Z=5.01, P<0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of respiratory viral infection was associated with respiratory failure, disseminated coagulation dysfunction, the use of mechanical ventilation, and the use of immunoglobulin and anti-respiratory viral drugs (OR=2.42, 0.22, 0.25, 0.56 and 1.12, all P<0.05). Conclusions: The composition of respiratory virus infection in children with septic shock is different between pre and post-COVID-19. Respiratory viral infection is associated with organ dysfunction in children with septic shock. Decreasing respiratory viral infection through respiratory protection may improve the clinical outcome of these children.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of varied oxygen (O2) concentration environments on the phenotypic transformation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and the mechanism of pulmonary hypertension. Methods: Primary rat PASMC were isolated and cultured through the process of enzymatic digestion. Following identification, the stable passaged PASMC were subjected to a 6-hour incubation in sealed containers with normal O2 content (group C) and relative O2 content comprising 55% (group H55), 75% (group H75), and 95% (group H95). mRNA and protein expression of α-Actin (α-SMA), smooth muscle 22α (SM22α), osteopontin (OPN), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) were measured using real-time quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. Results: The H55 group displayed no significant difference from the C group in terms of mRNA and relative protein expression levels for α-SMA, SM22α, OPN, and MMP-2 (all P>0.05). On the other hand, groups H75 and H95 exhibited a reduction in mRNA and relative protein expression of α-SMA and SM22α, along with an increase in mRNA and relative protein expression of OPN and MMP-2 when compared with both the C and H55 groups (all P<0.05). The H95 group showed a higher relative mRNA expression of MMP-2 as compared to the H75 group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Oxygen concentration environments of 75% or higher can serve as the foundation for the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension, essentially by inducing a phenotypic transformation in PASMC towards adopting a robust secretory function. This induction is contingent upon the concentration of oxygen present.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of p300 in the context of paclitaxel (PTX) resistance in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, focusing on its interaction with the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1)/adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. METHODS The expression of p300 and PCK1 at the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) level was detected using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The GeneCards and GEPIA databases were used to investigate the relationship between p300 and PCK1. The MDA-MB-231/PTX cell line, known for its PTX resistance, was chosen to understand the specific role of p300 in such cells. The Lipofectamine™ 3000 reagent was used to transfer the p300 small interfering RNA and the overexpression of PCK1 plasmid into MDA-MB-231/PTX. The expression levels of p300, PCK1, 5'AMPK and phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK) were determined using the western blot test. RESULTS In TNBC cancer tissue, the expression of p300 was increased compared with TNBC paracancerous tissue (P < 0.05). In the MDA-MB-231 cell line of TNBC, the expression of p300 was lower than in the PTX-resistant TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231/PTX) (P < 0.05). The PCK1 expression was decreased in the TNBC cancer tissue compared with TNBC paracancerous tissue, and the PCK1 expression was reduced in MDA-MB-231/PTX than in MDA-MB-231 (P < 0.05) indicating that PCK1 was involved in the resistance function. Additionally, p-AMPK was decreased in MDA-MB-231/PTX compared with MDA-MB-231 (P < 0.05). The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level was also detected and was significantly lower in MDA-MB-231/PTX than in MDA-MB-231 (P < 0.05). Additionally, cell proliferation increased significantly in MDA-MB-231/PTX at 48 and 72 h (P < 0.05) suggesting that MDA-MB-231/PTX cells obtained the resistance function which was associated with AMPK and ATP level. When p300 was inhibited, p-AMPK and ATP levels elevated in MDA-MB-231/PTX (P < 0.05). When PCK1 was suppressed, the ATP consumption rate decreased, and cell proliferation increased (P < 0.05). However, there were no changes in p300. CONCLUSIONS In MDA-MB-231/PTX, p300 can inhibit p-AMPK and ATP levels by inhibiting PCK1 expression. Our findings suggest that targeting p300 could modulate the PCK1/AMPK axis, offering a potential therapeutic avenue for overcoming PTX resistance in TNBC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ferric derisomaltose injection versus iron sucrose injection in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) . Methods: A total of 120 patients with iron deficiency anemia admitted from June 2021 to March 2023 were given intravenous iron supplementation with ferric derisomaltose to assess the efficacy and safety of hemoglobin (HGB) elevation before and after treatment. Simultaneously, the clinical effects of iron supplementation with iron sucrose were compared to those of inpatient patients during the same period. Results: Baseline values were comparable in both groups. Within 12 weeks of treatment, the elevated HGB level in the ferric derisomaltose group was higher than that of the iron sucrose group, with a statistical difference at all time points, and the proportion of HGB increased over 20 g/L in the patients treated for 4 weeks was higher (98.7%, 75.9% ). During the treatment with ferric derisomaltose and iron sucrose, the proportion of mild adverse reactions in the ferric derisomaltose group was slightly lower than that of the iron sucrose group, and neither group experienced any serious adverse reactions. The patients responded well to the infusion treatment, with no reports of pain or pigmentation at the injection site. Conclusion: The treatment of IDA patients with ferric derisomaltose has a satisfactory curative effect, with the advantages of rapidity, accuracy, and safety. Therefore, it is worthy of widespread clinical use.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application of modified urethral separation method in artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) implantation in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and its influence on the results of urethral pressure profilometry. Methods: A prospective collection of clinical data was conducted on 25 patients with stress urinary incontinence who underwent modified urethral separation method in AUS implantation and underwent urethral pressure profilometry in Beijing Hospital, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University and the Second Hospital Affiliated to Tianjin Medical University from March 2019 to June 2023. The improved urethral separation method was to borrow part of the white membrane tissue of the cavernous body while freeing the dorsal side of the cavernous body of the urethra. The circumference of the urethra, sleeve size, and urethral pressure were recorded, the patient's autonomous urinary control before and after surgery and the changes of the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-short form (ICI-Q-SF) score, incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QoL) score, urinary frequency score, nocturia score were compared. Follow-up was conducted in the clinic or by telephone at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after activation of the device, and once a year thereafter. Local skin status and urine control were assessed, residual urine volume was measured by ultrasound and subjective score scale was completed. Results: All patients were male, aged 27-85 (65.8±15.7) years old. The circumference of the cuff used in this study was 4.0 cm in 4 patients (16.0%), 4.5 cm in 16 patients (64.0%), 5.0 cm in 4 patients (16.0%), and 5.5 cm in 1 patient (4.0%). Among them, the urethral circumference matched the cuff size in 14 cases (56.0%), the urethral circumference was smaller than the cuff size in 4 cases (16.0%), and the urethral circumference was larger than the cuff size in 7 cases (28.0%). Preoperative urodynamic examination showed that the maximum urethral pressure (MUP) was (78.0±25.9) cmH2O, (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa) and the maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) was (53.4±26.6) cmH2O. The MUP of AUS device in the inactivated state was (88.0±26.5) cmH2O, which was not significantly higher than that before operation (P>0.05). The MUCP was (68.2±24.5) cmH2O, which was significantly higher than that before operation (P<0.05). The MUP and MUCP of the AUS device in the activated state were (146.6±25.2) cmH2O and (123.0±28.3) cmH2O, which were significantly higher than those before surgery and in the inactivated state (both P<0.001). All patients in the group reached the social urinary control standards at the first month of device activation. During a follow-up period of 2-50 months, 22 patients (88.0%) used the initial AUS device and all met social urinary control standards. The AUS device was replaced in 1 case. One patient died of cerebrovascular accident. One patient removed the device due to complications. The number of pads [M (Q1, Q3)] used in 25 patients before and after operation was 4.5 (3.0, 6.5) and 1 (0, 1) respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.001). ICI-Q-SF score, I-QoL score, urinary frequency score and nocturia score of 25 patients were significantly improved after surgery (all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was 20.0% (5/25), including 2 cases of painless hematuria, 1 case of infection, 1 case of urethral erosion, and 1 case of dysuria. Except for one patient who experienced urethral erosion and had his sleeve removed, the remaining four patients regained social urination control with active support treatment, and no symptoms recurred until the last follow-up. Conclusion: The modified urethral separation method has no significant effect on urethral pressure in patients with SUI, and can increase the volume of peri-urethral tissue in the cuff, thereby reducing the risk of intraoperative urethral injury and the incidence of postoperative urethral erosion.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of lifestyle, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene, and their interaction on the risk for cognitive frailty in the elderly population in China. Methods: The study participants were from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. The information about their lifestyles were collected by questionnaire survey, and a weighted lifestyle score was constructed based on β coefficients associated with specific lifestyles to assess the combined lifestyle. ApoE genotypes were assessed by rs429358 and rs7412 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Cognitive frailty was assessed based on cognitive function and physical frailty. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the association of lifestyle and ApoE gene with the risk for cognitive frailty and evaluate the multiplicative and additive interactions between lifestyle and ApoE gene. Results: A total of 5 676 elderly persons, with median age [M (Q1, Q3)] of 76 (68, 85) years, were included, in whom 615 had cognitive frailty. The analysis by Cox proportional hazards regression model indicated that moderate and high levels of dietary diversity could reduce the risk for cognitive frailty by 18% [hazard ratio (HR)=0.82, 95%CI: 0.68-1.00] and 28% (HR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.57-0.91), respectively; moderate and high levels of physical activity could reduce the risk by 31% (HR=0.69, 95%CI: 0.56-0.85) and 23% (HR=0.77, 95%CI: 0.64-0.93), respectively. Healthy lifestyle was associated with a 40% reduced risk for cognitive frailty (HR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.46-0.78). ApoE ε4 allele was associated with a 26% increased risk for cognitive frailty (HR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.02-1.56). No multiplicative or additive interactions were found between lifestyle and ApoE gene. Conclusions: Dietary diversity and regular physical activity have protective effects against cognitive frailty in elderly population. Healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk for cognitive frailty in elderly population regardless of ApoE ε4 allele carriage status.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the application of a multidisciplinary collaboration model to optimise the configuration management of orthopaedic external device sets in general hospitals. Methods A pretest-post-test study design was used. Sixty patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty and 60 patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion between March and May 2022 were recruited as the control stage. Additionally, a total of 120 patients, 60 of each, who underwent the two procedures between September and November 2022, were recruited as the experimental stage. For the control stage, conventional external equipment management was used, and for the experimental stage, an external device management programme was implemented based on multidisciplinary collaboration with the control stage. Based on the PDSA cycle, the configuration management of orthopaedic external device sets was optimised, and the differences in collating and counting external devices, nurses' overtime in the external device stage and orthopaedic surgeon satisfaction were compared between the two stages. Results Compared with the control stage, the collation count took less time (8.65 ± 0.25 min vs 5.37 ± 0.13 min; 13.55 ± 1.10 min vs 7.85 ± 0.82 min), the number of overtime hours was shorter (175.80 ± 12.19 min vs 96.68 ± 13.66 min) and orthopaedic surgeon satisfaction was improved (4.58 ± 0.62 vs 4.10 ± 0.68; 4.33 ± 0.73 vs 3.87 ± 0.77; 4.20 ± 0.71 vs 3.82 ± 0.71; 4.12 ± 0.69 vs 3.87 ± 0.72; 4.05 ± 0.68 vs 3.79 ± 0.68) in the experimental stage (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Multidisciplinary collaboration offers various benefits for optimising the configuration of external device sets, such as reducing the time taken for the preoperative sorting and counting of external devices, enhancing nurses' work efficiency and improving surgeons' job satisfaction; therefore, it is worthy of reference in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the content of α-synuclein oligomer(O-α-Syn) in erythrocytes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) and the correlation with clinical symptoms. Methods: Two hundred and ninety-six PD patients and 85 MSA patients were recruited from the Department of Functional Neurosurgery and Neurology of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from July 2020 to October 2021. Four hundred and three healthy controls (HC) were recruited from the Beijing Longitudinal Study of Aging community cohort during the same period. The levels of RBC-O-α-Syn were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Univariate linear regression model was used to analyze the correlation between the content of RBD-O-α-Syn and various motor and non-motor functional scores, such as Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Ⅲ, Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) Ⅲ, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), rapid eye movement sleep disorder questionnaire-HongKong(RBDQ-HK) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to evaluate the specificity, sensitivity, and the area under the curve (AUC) of RBC-O-α-Syn in distinguishing PD and MSA patients from HC subjects. Results: The average age of HC subjects was (70±8) years old, the average age of PD patients was (64±9) years old, including 115 (38.9%) cases with tremor dominant PD (TD-PD), 132 cases (44.6%) of postural instability disorder predominant PD (PIGD-PD), and 142 cases (48.0%) of patients with H-Y stage 2. UPDRS Ⅲ score was 31.2±17.8. The mean age of MSA patients was (64±9) years, with the mean UMSARS Ⅱ score of 18.9±10.3. The non-motor symptoms of PD and MSA patients were significantly different from those of HC subjects (P<0.001). The levels of RBC-O-α-Syn in PD [(50±17) ng/mg] and MSA [(52±19) ng/mg] were significantly higher than those in HC subjects [(21±10) ng/mg] (P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of RBC-O-α-Syn in distinguishing PD patients and HC subjects were 87.16% (95%CI: 82.87%-90.50%) and 86.10% (95%CI: 82.38%-89.14%), with an AUC of 0.933 (95%CI: 0.914-0.951), and the sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing MSA patients and HC subjects were 85.88% (95%CI: 76.93%-91.74%) and 81.39% (95%CI: 77.30%-84.89%), with an AUC of 0.921 (95%CI: 0.884-0.957). The levels of RBC-O-α-Syn in PD patients with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) were higher than that in PD patients without RBD [(53±16) ng/mg vs (48±17) ng/mg, P=0.029].The content of RBC-O-α-Syn in female PD patients and HC subjects was higher than that in male, but there was no significant difference between subjects of different ages and disease duration (P>0.05). In addition, RBC-O-α-Syn content was positively correlated with UPDRS Ⅲ (r=0.18, P=0.002) and the score of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder questionnaire(Hong Kong) (RBDQ-HK)(r=0.19, P<0.001). But there was no correlation with H-Y stage, non-motor symptoms scale (NMSS), MMSE, Moca, Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores (all P>0.05). There was no correlation between RBC-O-α-Syn content and UMSARS Ⅱ, NMSS, MMSE, MoCA, HAMD, HAMA in patients with MSA (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Levels of RBC-O-α-Syn are significantly increased in PD and MSA patients. There are positive correlations between levels of RBC-O-α-Syn and scores of UPDRS Ⅲ and RBDQ-HK.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Primary small cell carcinoma of esophageal (PSCCE) is a rare malignancy with aggressive behavior associated with a perceived poor prognosis. Due to its rarity, the clinical characteristics and the optimal clinical management have not yet been defined, therefore, we designed a multicenter retrospective study to analyze the prognostic factors and the impact of treatment on the prognosis of PSCCE patients. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 704 consecutive patients with PSCCE from five participating centers between April 2008 and July 2021. The PSCCE was diagnosed based on the World Health Organization classification. Treatment strategies included surgery, radiotherapy (RT), or chemotherapy only, and combination of 2-3 treatment modalities (surgery, RT and chemotherapy). The estimated hazard rates provide the trajectory of progression and death overtime. Univariate survival analysis was conducted by using Kaplan-Meier plots, and the log-rank test was used to compare survival differences. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the independent prognostic factors in multivariate analysis. RESULTS Overall, 69.0% (486/704) of the patients were male, with a median age of 63 years (range 38-96). Most of the patients were regional lymph node positive (N+, 64.0%), and nearly half with advanced stage (M+, 47.2%). With a median follow-up time of 16 months, 472 patients (67.0%) exhibited disease progression and 429 patients (60.9%) died. Following initial treatment, 85.1% (402/472) of progression/death and 80.1% (344/429) of mortalities occurred within 24 months. Consistently, the maximum annual death and progression/death hazards are highest in the 15.6 months and 9.6 months. The overall survival (OS) rates at 1, 3 and 5 years for all patients were 65.1%, 26.5% and 18.3%, respectively. Univariate survival analysis showed that ECOG score, alcohol abuse, TNM stage, N stage, and M stage were correlated with OS (P <0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the N stage (HR: 1.378, P = 0.018) and M stage (HR: 1.945, P <0.001) carried independent prognostic factors for OS. In the term of treatment, the OS rates for M- patients treated with combined modality therapy (CMT, surgery±radiotherapy/chemotherapy) were better than those treated with surgery alone or radiotherapy/chemotherapy (3-year OS: 36.7% VS 25.6% VS 32.2%; P = 0.045). The OS rates for M+ patients treated with chemotherapy alone, radiotherapy alone, or radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy were no significant differences (3-year OS: 12.2% VS 19.4% VS 11.1%; P = 0.400). CONCLUSION PSCCE is characterized by a high degree of malignancy with high risks of lymphatic and distant metastasis, N and M stages are the most important prognostic factor. In terms of treatment, comprehensive treatment is most likely to benefit patients without distant metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative nursing can reduce the stress reaction and improve the prognosis of children. AIM To elucidate the influence of multidisciplinary collaborative nursing for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) with family care in perioperative nursing children with an inguinal hernia and its impact on the prognosis. METHODS The data of 100 children with inguinal hernia were retrospectively analyzed. The participants were divided into three groups according to different nursing methods: Groups A (n = 38), B (n = 32), and C (n = 30). Group A received multidisciplinary collaborative ERAS nursing combined with family care nursing; Group B received multidisciplinary collaborative nursing for ERAS; and Group C received routine nursing. The postoperative recovery results of the three groups were compared, including intraoperative blood loss and postoperative feeding time, time of getting out of bed, hospitalization time, and defecation time. Furthermore, the incidence of common complications was also compared between the three groups. RESULTS There was less intraoperative blood loss in Groups A and B than in Group C (P < 0.05), and the time of getting out of bed and postoperative hospitalization and defecation times were also decreased in Group C (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative feeding time among the three groups (P > 0.05). Each index had no statistical significance between Groups A and B (P > 0.05). The incidence of urinary retention, infection, hematoma, and hernia recurrence in Group A was less than that in Group C (P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in the overall complication rate between Groups A and B and between Groups B and C (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The application of multidisciplinary collaborative nursing combined with family care in the perioperative care of children with an inguinal hernia for ERAS may promote postoperative rehabilitation for children and reduce the incidence of complications.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the application value of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI based radiomics model in the differential diagnosis of iso-or hyperintensity HCC and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in hepatobiliary phase. Methods: A total of 88 patients with HCC or FNH confirmed by surgical or puncture pathology who underwent preoperative Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI (all lesions showed iso-or hyperintensity in hepatobiliary phase) between January 2015 and February 2023 in The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Nantong No.3 People's Hospital were retrospectively evaluated, which including 58 males and 30 females, aged [M(Q1, Q3)]56 (40, 67) years, including 61 patients with HCC and 27 patients with FNH. The included cases were divided into training (43 cases of HCC, 19 cases of FNH) and validation cohort (18 cases of HCC, 8 cases of FNH) in the ratio of 7∶3 using the random seeding method. A total of 1 781 radiomics features were extracted from Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI in the arterial, portal and hepatobiliary phases, respectively. The independent three phase models, combined three phases model and combined clinical-radiomics model was established using Auto-Encoder (AE) and Native Bayes (NB) classifier, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of these models. DeLong test was used to compare the areas under curve (AUC). Results: In the validation cohort, the combined clinical-radiomics model had the highest AUC (AUC=0.938, 95%CI: 0.828-1.000). The AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity of the clinical-radiomics combined model using AE classifier in the validation cohort were 0.896 (95%CI: 0.760-1.000), 88.5%, 88.9%, 87.5%. The AUC of the clinical-radiomics combined model using NB classifier in the validation cohort were 0.938 (95%CI: 0.828-1.000), 92.3%, 88.9%, 100.0%. Conclusion: Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI combined clinical-radiomics model has certain value in preoperative differentiation of iso-or hyperintensity in the hepatobiliary phase HCC and FNH, with a high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Objective: To identify and analyze 3D architecture of the mutational sites of susceptible genes in a pedigree with familial hypercholesterolemia-like phenotype (FHLP). Methods: This is a case series study. A pedigree with suspected familial hypercholesterolemia was surveyed. The proband admitted in Beijing Anzhen Hospital in April 2019. Whole-exome sequencing was performed to determine the mutational sites of susceptible genes in the proband. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing was used to verify the pathogenic variant on proband's relatives. The structural and functional changes of the proteins were analyzed and predicted by Discovery Studio 4.0 and PyMol 2.0. Results: The patients in the pedigree showed abnormal lipid profiles, especially elevated levels of total cholesterol(TC). The genetic screening detected the c.1330C>T SNP in the exon 8 of lipase C (LIPC) gene, this mutation leads to an amino acid substitution from arginine to cysteine at position 444 (Arg444Cys), in the proband and proband's father and brother. In this family, members with this mutation exhibited elevated TC, whereas lipid profile was normal from the proband's mother without this mutation. This finding indicated that LIPC: c.1330C>T mutation might be the mutational sites of susceptible genes. The analysis showed that Arg444Cys predominantly affected the ligand-binding property of the protein, but had a limited impact on catalytic function. Conclusion: LIPC: c.1330C>T is a new mutational site of susceptible genes in this FHLP pedigree.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features and long-term prognosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in patients with past hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods: 353 cases with PBC who visited the Liver Disease Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 2000 and January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into the past HBV infection group (156 cases) and the no HBV infection group (197 cases). The two groups' baseline clinical features were compared. Ursodeoxycholic acid response rate after one year, GLOBE score, UK-PBC score, and long-term liver transplantation-free survival rate were compared through outpatient and telephone follow-up. Results: PBC with past HBV infection had a significantly reduced female proportion compared to the no HBV infection group (91.9% vs. 79.5%, P = 0.001). However, there were no statistically significant differences in age, biochemical indices, immunological indicators, platelet count, cirrhosis proportion, and others. Ursodeoxycholic acid biochemical response rate was reduced in patients with past HBV infection at the end of one year of treatment, but the difference was not statistically significant (65.8% vs. 78.2%, P = 0.068). In addition, there were no statistically significant differences between the GLOBE score (0.57 vs. 0.59, P = 0.26) and UK-PBC 5-year (2.87% vs. 2.87%, P = 0.38), 10-year (9.29% vs. 8.2%, P = 0.39) and 15-year liver transplantation rates (16.6% vs. 14.73%, P = 0.39). Lastly, the overall 5-year liver transplantation-free survival rate had no statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients (86.4% vs. 87.5%, P = 0.796). Conclusion: Primary biliary cholangitis had no discernible effect in terms of age at onset, biochemical indices, immunological indicators, cirrhosis proportion, ursodeoxycholic acid response rate after one year, GLOBE score, UK-PBC score, or overall liver transplantation-free survival rate in patients with past hepatitis B virus infections.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the occurrence of recompensation conditions in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis after entecavir antiviral therapy. Methods: Patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis with ascites as the initial manifestation were prospectively enrolled. Patients who received entecavir treatment for 120 weeks and were followed up every 24 weeks (including clinical endpoint events, hematological and imaging indicators, and others) were calculated for recompensation rates according to the Baveno VII criteria. Measurement data were compared using the Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test between groups. Categorical data were compared by the χ (2) test or Fisher's exact probability method between groups. Results: 283 of the 320 enrolled cases completed the 120-week follow-up, and 92.2% (261/283) achieved a virological response (HBV DNA 20 IU/ml). Child-Pugh and MELD scores were significantly improved after treatment (8.33 ± 1.90 vs. 5.77 ± 1.37, t = 12.70, P < 0.001; 13.37 ± 4.44 vs. 10.45 ± 4.58, t = 5.963, P < 0.001). During the 120-week follow-up period, 14 cases died, two received liver transplants, 19 developed hepatocellular cancer, 11 developed gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, and four developed hepatic encephalopathy. 60.4% (171/283) (no decompensation events occurred for 12 months) and 56.2% (159/283) (no decompensation events occurred for 12 months and improved liver function) of the patients had achieved clinical recompensation within 120 weeks. Patients with baseline MELD scores > 15 after active antiviral therapy achieved higher recompensation than patients with baseline MELD scores ≤15 [50/74 (67.6%) vs. 109/209 (52.2%), χ (2) = 5.275, P = 0.029]. Conclusion: Antiviral therapy can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis. The majority of patients (56.2%) had achieved recompensation. Patients with severe disease did not have a lower probability of recompensation at baseline than other patients.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role and clinical significance of MUC4 gene mutations in thrombotic events in patients with classic paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and gene sequencing results of 45 patients with classic PNH admitted to the Department of Hematology, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, from June 2018 to February 2022. MUC4 gene mutations in patients with classic PNH were summarized, and the risk factors for thrombotic events in these patients were analyzed. Additionally, the effects of MUC4 gene mutations on the cumulative incidence and survival of thrombotic events in patients with classic PNH were determined. Results: The detection rate of MUC4 gene mutations in patients with classic PNH who experienced thrombotic events (thrombotic group) was 68.8% (11/16), which was significantly higher than that in the non-thrombotic group [10.3% (3/29) ] (P<0.001). All mutations occurred in exon 2. MUC4 mutation (OR=20.815, P=0.010) was identified as an independent risk factor for thrombotic events in patients with classic PNH. The cumulative incidence of thrombotic events was 78.6% (11/14) in the MUC4 gene mutation group (mutation group) and 16.1% (5/31) in the non-mutation group, showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.001). Survival analysis showed a lower overall survival (OS) rate in the thrombotic group compared with that in the non-thrombotic group [ (34.4±25.2) % vs. (62.7±19.3) % ] (P=0.045). The OS rate of patients was (41.7±29.9) % in the mutation group and (59.1±18.3) % in the non-mutation group (P=0.487) . Conclusion: MUC4 gene mutations are associated with an increased incidence of thrombotic events in classic PNH patients, highlighting their role as independent risk factors for thrombosis in this population. These mutations can be considered a novel predictive factor that aids in evaluating the risk of thrombosis in patients with classic PNH.

Abstract
Objective: To explore risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the perioperative period of heart transplantation. Methods: The data of ECMO cases in the perioperative period of heart transplantation from the Chinese Society of Extracorporeal Life Support (CSECLS) between January 2017 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into the survival group and non-survival group according to their outcomes at discharge. The demographics, indications and complications of ECMO between the two groups were compared, and the related risk factors of poor prognosis were analyzed. Results: A total of 77 patients were included in the study, including 67 males and 10 females, with a median age [M(Q1, Q3)] of 48 (36, 59) years. Sixty-three patients (81.8%) were successfully withdrawn from the ECMO and 46 patients (59.7%) survived to discharge. The median ECMO time was 139 (92, 253) hours. Compared with the survival group, the non-survival group (n=31) had more patients with chronic kidney disease before surgery [22.6% (7/31) vs 4.3% (2/46), P=0.034], and a higher proportion of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) during ECMO [74.2% (23/31) vs 50.0% (23/46), P=0.034]. Moreover, the non-survival group had longer duration of extracorporeal circulation [262 (195, 312) vs 201 (155, 261) min, P=0.056] and higher lactate value in the first 24 hours of ECMO support [2.7 (2.1, 4.7) vs 2.3 (1.4, 3.8) mmol/L, P=0.060], but the differences were not statistically significant. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that perioperative application of CRRT was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in ECMO patients during heart transplantation (OR=19.345, 95%CI: 1.209-309.440, P=0.036). Conclusion: CRRT treatment during ECMO is a risk factor for in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing heart transplantation.

Abstract
Hemangioma is a congenital vascular malformation that occurs commonly in the skin and soft tissues of younger individuals but rarely in the bone. The term hemangioma occurring in bone has been referred to as venous bony malformation also. In these rare cases, vertebral bodies occur more often, followed by the craniofacial skeleton and long bones. Most rib tumors are malignant, and hemangiomas of the rib tend to grow expansively and disrupt the cortex. Venous malformations in ribs are not tumors but can be misdiagnosed as aggressive tumors or infectious processes. In fact, hemangioma of bone is a locally aggressive benign vascular malformation associated with a good prognosis. To date, no more than 50 cases of rib hemangiomas have been described in the English literature. This report presents a case of an asymptomatic 27-year-old female patient who found a quail egg-sized lump on the right side of her chest that was the size of a cocoon 2 months prior. Then, the lump grew rapidly to the size of an egg when she presented to the hospital. Because of its worrisome histomorphologic features and aggressive clinical radiologic findings, it was once misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor by most doctors. However, the pathological results after the operation confirmed rib hemangioma. Therefore, this case report aims to share this particular case so that more doctors can better understand the particularity of this disease's progression.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the value of the modified European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) score and Mehralivand grade based on biparametric MRI (bpMRI) in the assessment of extracapsular extension (ECE) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: Data of 235 patients with postoperative pathology confirmed PCa, who underwent preoperative 3.0 T bpMRI examinations between March 2019 and March 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively evaluated, including 107 ECE positive and 128 ECE negative cases, aged [M (Q1, Q3)] [71 (66, 75)] years. Reader 1 and 2 assessed the ECE using the modified ESUR score and Mehralivand grade, and the receiver operating characteristic curve and Delong test were used to evaluate the performance of the two scoring methods. Then, the statistically significant variables were included in multivariate binary logistics regression analysis to obtain the risk factors, which were combined with the scores of reader 1 to establish combined models. The assessment ability of the two combined models and the two scoring methods were compared subsequently. Results: The AUC of Mehralivand grade in reader 1 were higher than that of the modified ESUR score in reader 1 and 2 [0.746 (95%CI: 0.685-0.800) vs 0.696 (95%CI: 0.633-0.754) and 0.691 (95%CI: 0.627-0.749), both P<0.05]. The AUC of Mehralivand grade in reader 2 was higher than that of the modified ESUR score in reader 1 and 2 [0.753 (95%CI: 0.693-0.807) vs 0.696 (95%CI: 0.633-0.754) and 0.691 (95%CI: 0.627-0.749), both P<0.05]. The AUC of the combined model 1 based on the modified ESUR score and the combined model 2 based on Mehralivand grade were higher than that in the separate modified ESUR score [0.826 (95%CI: 0.773-0.879) and 0.841 (95%CI: 0.790-0.892) vs 0.696 (95%CI: 0.633-0.754), both P<0.001], and also higher than that in the separate Mehralivand grade [0.826 (95%CI: 0.773-0.879) and 0.841 (95%CI: 0.790-0.892) vs 0.746 (95%CI: 0.685-0.800), both P<0.05]. Conclusion: Based on bpMRI, the Mehralivand grade showed better diagnostic performance for assessing ECE preoperatively in patients with PCa than the modified ESUR score. The combination model of scoring methods and clinical variables can further enhance the diagnostic certainty in the assessment of ECE.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the value of machine learning (ML) models based on biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) for diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Methods: A total of 1 368 patients, aged from 30 to 92 (69.4±8.2) years, from 3 tertiary medical centers in Jiangsu Province were retrospectively collected from May 2015 to December 2020, including 412 cases of csPCa, 242 cases of clinically insignificant prostate cancer (ciPCa) and 714 cases of benign prostate lesions. The data of center 1 and center 2 were randomly divided into training cohort and internal testing cohort at a ratio of 7∶3 by random number sampling without replacement using Python Random package, and the data of center 3 were used as the independent external testing cohort. The training cohort includs 243 cases of csPCa, 135 cases of ciPCa and 384 cases of benign lesions, the internal testing cohort includs 104 cases of csPCa, 58 cases of ciPCa and 165 cases of benign lesions, and the external testing cohort includs 65 cases of csPCa, 49 cases of ciPCa and 165 cases of benign lesions. The radiomics features were extracted on T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient map, and optimal radiomics features were selected by using Pearson correlation coefficient method and analysis of variance. The ML models were built using two ML algorithms, including support vector machine and random forest (RF) and were further tested in the internal testing cohort and external testing cohort. Finally, the PI-RADS scores evaluated by the radiologists were adjusted by the ML models which had superior diagnostic performance, namely adjusted PI-RADS. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the ML models and PI-RADS. DeLong test was used to compare the areas under curve (AUC) of models with those of PI-RADS. Results: For PCa diagnosis, in internal testing cohort, the AUC of ML model using RF algorithm and PI-RADS were 0.869 (95%CI: 0.830-0.908) and 0.874 (95%CI: 0.836-0.913), respectively, and the difference between the model and PI-RADS did not reach to the statistical significance (P=0.793). In the external testing cohort, the AUC of model and PI-RADS were 0.845 (95%CI: 0.794-0.897) and 0.915 (95%CI: 0.880-0.951), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.01). For csPCa diagnosis, the AUC of ML model using RF algorithm and PI-RADS were 0.874 (95%CI: 0.834-0.914) and 0.892 (95%CI: 0.857-0.927), respectively, in internal testing cohort, and the difference between the model and PI-RADS was not statistically significant (P=0.341). In the external testing cohort, the AUC of model and PI-RADS were 0.876 (95%CI: 0.831-0.920) and 0.884 (95%CI: 0.841-0.926), respectively, and the difference between the model and PI-RADS was not statistically significant (P=0.704). When PI-RADS assessment was adjusted with the assistance of ML models, the specificities increased from 63.0% to 80.0% in the internal testing cohort and from 92.7% to 93.3% in the external test group in diagnosing PCa. In diagnosing csPCa, the specificities increased from 52.5% to 72.6% in the internal testing cohort and from 75.2% to 79.9% in the external testing cohort. Conclusions: The ML models based on bpMRI showed comparable diagnostic performance to PI-RADS assessed by senior radiologists and achieved good generalization ability in both diagnosing PCa and csPCa. The specificities of the PI-RADS were improved by ML models.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association between sleep duration and the risk of frailty among the elderly over 80 years old in China. Methods: Using the data from five surveys of the China Elderly Health Influencing Factors Follow-up Survey (CLHLS) (2005, 2008-2009, 2011-2012, 2014, and 2017-2018), 7 024 elderly people aged 80 years and above were selected as the study subjects. Questionnaires and physical examinations were used to collect information on sleep time, general demographic characteristics, functional status, physical signs, and illness. The frailty state was evaluated based on a frailty index that included 39 variables. The Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the correlation between sleep time and the risk of frailty occurrence. A restricted cubic spline function was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between sleep time and the risk of frailty occurrence. The likelihood ratio test was used to analyze the interaction between age, gender, sleep quality, cognitive impairment, and sleep duration. Results: The age M (Q1, Q3) of 7 024 subjects was 87 (82, 92) years old, with a total of 3 435 (48.9%) patients experiencing frailty. The results of restricted cubic spline function analysis showed that there was an approximate U-shaped relationship between sleep time and the risk of frailty. When sleep time was 6.5-8.5 hours, the elderly had the lowest risk of frailty; Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model analysis showed that compared to 6.5-8.5 hours of sleep, long sleep duration (>8.5 hours) increased the risk of frailty by 13% (HR: 1.13; 95%CI: 1.04-1.22). Conclusion: There is a nonlinear association between sleep time and the risk of frailty in the elderly.

Abstract
We wished to establish an expert consensus on late stage of critical care (CC) management. The panel comprised 13 experts in CC medicine. Each statement was assessed based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) principle. Then, the Delphi method was adopted by 17 experts to reassess the following 28 statements. (1) ESCAPE has evolved from a strategy of delirium management to a strategy of late stage of CC management. (2) The new version of ESCAPE is a strategy for optimizing treatment and comprehensive care of critically ill patients (CIPs) after the rescue period, including early mobilization, early rehabilitation, nutritional support, sleep management, mental assessment, cognitive-function training, emotional support, and optimizing sedation and analgesia. (3) Disease assessment to determine the starting point of early mobilization, early rehabilitation, and early enteral nutrition. (4) Early mobilization has synergistic effects upon the recovery of organ function. (5) Early functional exercise and rehabilitation are important means to promote CIP recovery, and gives them a sense of future prospects. (6) Timely start of enteral nutrition is conducive to early mobilization and early rehabilitation. (7) The spontaneous breathing test should be started as soon as possible, and a weaning plan should be selected step-by-step. (8) The waking process of CIPs should be realized in a planned and purposeful way. (9) Establishment of a sleep-wake rhythm is the key to sleep management in post-CC management. (10) The spontaneous awakening trial, spontaneous breathing trial, and sleep management should be carried out together. (11) The depth of sedation should be adjusted dynamically in the late stage of CC period. (12) Standardized sedation assessment is the premise of rational sedation. (13) Appropriate sedative drugs should be selected according to the objectives of sedation and drug characteristics. (14) A goal-directed minimization strategy for sedation should be implemented. (15) The principle of analgesia must be mastered first. (16) Subjective assessment is preferred for analgesia assessment. (17) Opioid-based analgesic strategies should be selected step-by-step according to the characteristics of different drugs. (18) There must be rational use of non-opioid analgesics and non-drug-based analgesic measures. (19) Pay attention to evaluation of the psychological status of CIPs. (20) Cognitive function in CIPs cannot be ignored. (21) Delirium management should be based on non-drug-based measures and rational use of drugs. (22) Reset treatment can be considered for severe delirium. (23) Psychological assessment should be conducted as early as possible to screen-out high-risk groups with post-traumatic stress disorder. (24) Emotional support, flexible visiting, and environment management are important components of humanistic management in the intensive care unit (ICU). (25) Emotional support from medical teams and families should be promoted through"ICU diaries"and other forms. (26) Environmental management should be carried out by enriching environmental content, limiting environmental interference, and optimizing the environmental atmosphere. (27) Reasonable promotion of flexible visitation should be done on the basis of prevention of nosocomial infection. (28) ESCAPE is an excellent project for late stage of CC management.

Abstract
PURPOSE Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, with dramatically increasing incidence and mortality for decades. However, current therapeutic strategies for CRC, including chemotherapies and immunotherapies, have only demonstrated limited efficacy. Here, we report a novel immune molecule, CD43, that can regulate the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and serves as a promising target for CRC immunotherapy. METHODS The correlation of CD43 expression with CRC patient prognosis was revealed by public data analysis. CD43 knockout (KO) CRC cell lines were generated by CRISPR-Cas9 technology, and a syngenetic murine CRC model was established to investigate the in vivo function of CD43. The TIME was analyzed via immunohistochemical staining, flow cytometry and RNA-seq. Immune functions were investigated by depletion of immune subsets in vivo and T-cell functional assays in vitro, including T-cell priming, cytotoxicity, and chemotaxis experiments. RESULTS In this study, we found that high expression of CD43 was correlated with poor survival of CRC patients and the limited infiltration of CD8+ T cells in human CRC tissues. Importantly, CD43 expressed on tumor cells, rather than host cells, promoted tumor progression in a syngeneic tumor model. Loss of CD43 facilitated the infiltration of immune cells and immunological memory in the TIME of CRC tumors. Mechanistically, the protumor effect of CD43 depends on T cells, thereby attenuating T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity and cDC1-mediated antigen-specific T-cell activation. Moreover, targeting CD43 synergistically improved PD-L1 blockade immunotherapy for CRC. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed that targeting tumor-intrinsic CD43 could activate the antitumor immune response and provide particular value for optimized cancer immunotherapy by regulating the TIME in CRC patients.

Abstract
Objective: Differential flora and differential metabolites shared by the intestinal and respiratory tracts of rats were screened to analyze the possible role of changes in intestinal flora and metabolites in the progression of pneumoconiosis in rats. Methods: In April 2020, 18 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (control group, coal mine dust group and silica group, 6 in each group) , rats in the coal mine dust group and silica group were perfused with 1 ml of 50 mg/ml coal mine well dust suspension and silica suspension by nontracheal exposure, respectively. While rats in the control group were perfused with an equal dose of sterilized normal saline. Twenty four weeks after dust staining, rat feces, throat swabs, and lung lavages were collected. 16SrDNA gene sequencing and UHPLC-QTOF-MS untargeted metabolomics were used to analyze the flora and metabolites in feces, throat swabs and lung lavage fluid of rats in each group, to screen for shared differential flora and shared differential metabolites in intestinal and respiratory tract, and the correlation analysis between the differential flora and metabolites was performed using Spearman's statistics. Results: Compared with the control group, a total of 9 species shared differential flora between intestinal and respiratory tract were screened at phylum level, and a total of 9 species shared differential genus between intestinal and respiratory tract were screened at genus level in the coal mine dust group, mainly Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, etc. Compared with the control group, a total of 9 shared differential flora were screened at the phylum level, and a total of 5 shared differential genus were screened at the genus level in the silica group, mainly Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Allobactera, Mucilaginibacter, etc. Compared with the control group, a total of 7 shared differential metabolites were screened for up-regulation of Stigmatellin, Linalool oxide and Isoleucine-leucine in both intestinal and respiratory tract in the coal mine dust group. Compared with the control group , a total of 19 shared differential metabolites werescreened in the silica group, of which Diethanolamine, 1-Aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid, Isoleucine-leucine, Sphingosine, Palmitic acid, D-sphinganine, 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine, and 1-Stearoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphocholine were up-regulated in both the intestinal and respiratory tract. Conclusion: There is a translocation of intestinal and respiratory flora in pneumoconiosis rats, and rats have an imbalance of lipid metabolism during the progression of pneumoconiosis.

Abstract
Objective The present study explored the construction and application of a standardized postoperative pain-management procedure for patients with perianal abscess. Methods Two study groups (the observation group and the intervention group) were established retrospectively. The observation group comprised 46 patients with perianal abscess who enrolled in this study between June 2019 and June 2020. The intervention group comprised 48 patients who enrolled in the study between July 2020 and July 2021. All patients were enrolled using the convenience sampling method. A pain-management team was established, and standardized procedure management was implemented in the intervention group, while routine pain management was implemented in the observation group. Indices related to the patients' postoperative pain-control satisfaction and rehabilitation were compared between the two groups. Results The patients' pain-control satisfaction, wound edema score, edema disappearance time, urinary retention, and defecation difficulty following intervention were better in the intervention group than in the observation group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 for all). Conclusion The implementation of the standardized postoperative pain-management procedure in patients with perianal abscess can effectively improve the patient's level of pain and satisfaction and promote rehabilitation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on the water content of stratum corneum (WCSC), expression of serum inflammatory factors and aquaporin 3 (AQP3) in skin, lung and rectum in guinea pigs with eczema of skin damp-heat accumulation, and to explore the possible mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion for regulating skin barrier function. METHODS A total of 24 male albino guinea pigs were randomly divided into a blank group (n=6) and a modeling group (n=18). The guinea pigs in the modeling group were induced by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) to establish the eczema model of skin damp-heat accumulation. The guinea pigs with successful modeling were further randomly divided into a model group, a medication group and an acupuncture-moxibustion group, 6 guinea pigs in each group. The guinea pigs in the medication group were treated with loratadine tablets (0.8 mg/kg) by gavage, once a day for 7 days; the guinea pigs in the acupuncture-moxibustion group were treated with acupuncture at "Feishu" (BL 13), "Pishu" (BL 20), "Quchi" (LI 11), "Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Xuehai" (SP 10); at the same time, moxibustion was applied at "Feishu" (BL 13) and "Zusanli" (ST 36), moxibustion intervention for 10 min and needle retaining for 15 min at each acupoint, once a day for 7 days. The eczema area and severity index (EASI) score was evaluated before and After intervention, and WCSC and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) were measured by skin tester. After intervention, The HE staining was used to observe the changes of skin histomorphology in each group; ELISA was used to measure the contents of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-17; Western blot was used to measure the protein expression of AQP3 in skin, lung and rectum. RESULTS Before the intervention, compared with the blank group, the EASI scores and TEWL were increased in the remaining groups (P<0.01), and the WCSC was decreased (P<0.01). After the intervention, compared with the model group, the EASI scores and TEWL were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and WCSC was increased (P<0.01) in the medication group and the acupuncture-moxibustion group. The epidermal structure in the blank group was complete and the fibers in the dermis were arranged orderly; in the model group, epidermal hyperkeratosis, proliferation of granular layer, spinous cell layer and basal layer, and disordered arrangement of dermal fibers and infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed. The morphological performance in the medication group and the acupuncture-moxibustion group was better than that in the model group. Compared with the blank group, the contents of serum IgE and IL-17 were increased (P<0.01), and the content of serum IL-4 and the protein expression of AQP3 in skin, lung and rectum were decreased in the model group (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the contents of serum IgE and IL-17 were decreased and the contents of serum IL-4 were increased in the medication group and the acupuncture-moxibustion group (P<0.01), and the protein expression of AQP3 in skin, lung and rectum in the acupuncture- moxibustion group were increased (P<0.05). Compared with the medication group, the contents of serum IgE and IL-17 were increased (P<0.01), and the content of serum IL-4 was decreased (P<0.01) in the acupuncture-moxibustion group. CONCLUSION Acupuncture and moxibustion could improve the epidermal water metabolism and skin tissue morphology in guinea pigs with eczema of skin damp-heat accumulation. Its mechanism may be related to regulating inflammatory factors, up-regulating the expression of AQP3, and then repairing the skin barrier function.

Abstract
The liver is abundant in blood supply and receives 25% of the cardiac output via the hepatic artery and portal vein. Circulatory disorders may cause hepatic injury, resulting in congestive hepatopathy(CH) and ischemic hepatitis(IH). Hepatic congestion arising from increased hepatic venous pressure and decreased cardiac output is the common pathophysiological basis of both CH and IH. In addition, extensive arteriovenous shunts affect portal pressure and cardiac function, leading to alterations of hepatic blood supply. The current review summarizes the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and therapeutic interventions of the above diseases, in order to provide reference for clinical practice.

Abstract
Connective tissue disease (CTD) are closely related to liver abnormality. CTD can affect the liver causing various degrees of liver injury, coexist with other liver diseases, especially autoimmune liver disease (ALD). Medications for CTD can also lead to liver injury or reactivate the hepatitis B virus. CTD patients can also be positive for ALD-related autoantibodies without corresponding manifestation; and vis versa. The diagnosis and differential diagnosis should be made on integrating clinical presentation, laboratory, imaging, and histological studies, not solely relying on autoantibody positivity.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of enhanced magnetic resonance imaging nomogram model in the prediction of dual-phenotype hepatocellular carcinoma(DPHCC). Methods: Data of 116 patients of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) confirmed by postoperative pathology, who underwent preoperative enhanced MRI between January 2016 and March 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively evaluated, of these, there are 87 males and 28 females, aged 30-79 (59±10) years, including 31 patients with DPHCC and 85 patients with non-DPHCC. The patients were randomly divided into training set(51 cases of non-DPHCC,19 cases of DPHCC)and validation set(34 cases of non-DPHCC, 12 cases of DPHCC) in a ratio of 6∶4, according to random number table,clinical and imaging characteristics of the two groups were compared. The statistically significant parameters were included in multivariate logistic regression to identify the independent predictors and for the establishment of the nomogram model. The receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the prediction ability of the models, the corrected curve was used to validate the model. Results: In the training group, the proportions of rim arterial phase hyperenhancement in the DPHCC was significantly higher than that of the non-DPHCC [47.4%(9/19)vs 7.8%(4/51),P<0.001]. Rim arterial phase hyper-enhancement and enhanced capsule were significant predictors for DPHCC[OR=10.17(1.70-60.80),0.17(0.03-0.93),all P<0.05]. In the training group, the area under curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of the nomogram were 0.888 (95%CI: 0.806-0.969), 78.9% and 86.3%. In the validation group, the above three indicators were 0.811(95%CI: 0.655-0.968), 75.0% and 82.4%. Conclusion: Enhanced MRI nomogram model has certain value in prediction of DPHCC, with high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Objective To explore the histological feature of the cervical disc degeneration in patients with degenerative ossification (DO) and its potential mechanisms.
Methods A total of 96 surgical segments, from cervical disc degenerative disease patients with surgical treatment, were divided into ossification group (group O, n=46) and non-ossification group (group NO, n=50) based on preoperative radiological exams. Samples of disc tissues and osteophytes were harvested during the decompression operation. The hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson trichrome staining and Safranin O-fast green staining were used to compare the histological differences between the two groups. And the distribution and content of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 between the two groups were compared by a semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) method.
Results For all the disc tissues, the content of disc cells and collagen fibers decreased gradually from the outer annulus fibrosus (OAF) to the central nucleus pulposus (NP). Compared with group NO, the number of disc cells in group O increased significantly. But for proteoglycan in the inner annulus fibrosus (IAF) and NP, the content in group O decreased significantly. IHC analysis showed that TGF-β1, p-Smad2, and p-Smad3 were detected in all tissues. For group O, the content of TGF-β1 in the OAF and NP was significantly higher than that in group NO. For p-Smad2 in IAF and p-Smad3 in OAF, the content in group O were significantly higher than group NO.
Conclusion Histologically, cervical disc degeneration in patients with DO is more severe than that without DO. Local higher content of TGF-β1, p-Smad2, and p-Smad3 are involved in the disc degeneration with DO. Further studies with multi-approach analyses are needed to better understand the role of TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway in the disc degeneration with DO.

Abstract
Plant zinc-finger proteins play a crucial role in biosynthesis and plant development. However, it is not known whether certain zinc-finger proteins play a role in rice chloroplast development. In this study, a novel rice zinc-finger protein mutant asl4 (albino seedling lethality4), which exhibits an albino lethal phenotype at the seedling stage, was used. Chlorophyll fluorescence analysis and TEM were used to investigate features of the asl4 mutant. The genetic behaviour and function of ASL4 gene were then analysed thorough map-based cloning, transgenic complement and subcellular localization. The albino lethal phenotype was caused by a single nucleotide (G*) deletion mutation on the exon of the ASL4 (LOC_Os09g21710) gene. The ASL4 gene encoded a novel zinc-finger protein containing two ZnF-AN1 domains, which was localized to the nucleocytoplasm. The ASL4 transcripts were highly expressed in all leaves but relatively less in other tissues, suggesting its tissue-specific expression. The transcript levels of associated genes for Chl biosynthesis, photosynthesis and chloroplast development were severely suppressed in asl4 mutants. In conclusion, the absence of ASL4 function caused a defect in chloroplast development and seedling lethality. This is the first published report on the importance of the ZnF-AN1 type zinc-finger protein gene in chloroplast development in rice.

Abstract
Objective: Based on the genetic diagnosis and follow-up study on pediatric neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) patients, interrogating the genotype-phenotype correlations of patients with NF1 mutations. Methods: 32 Patients from age of 2 months to 5 years old (17 male and 15 female) suspected for neurofibromatosis 1 were recruited during September 2016 to January 2018 in Shanghai Children's Medical Center retrospectively. Genetic diagnosis was applied to detect pathogenic variants. Long-term follow-up study were conducted to reveal progress of the disease and genotype-phenotype correlations. Results: 27 patients were detected with pathogenic NF1 variants, among them three were not reported. 3 patients inherited pathogenic variants from their NF1 diagnosed parents, all the other variants were de novo. Progressive development of phenotypes wasn't observed in most patients during the follow-up (14/27). Some patients were diagnosed with short stature, pulmonary artery stenosis and developmental delay during the follow-up(7/27). Short stature and pulmonary artery stenosis may be associated with missense mutation and severe truncation mutation of NF1 gene, respectively. Conclusions: Genetic diagnosis is required in young patients of NF1.Follow-up plan of pediatric patients should be adjusted based on genetic findings. Early follow-up of cardiovascular abnormalities should be noted in patients with missense mutation. Height development in patients with severe truncating variants are needed.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the main treatments for men with prostate cancer (PCa). To date, numerous sophisticated nano-formulations as radiosensitizers have been synthesized with inspiring therapeutic effects both in vitro and in vivo; however, almost all the attention has been paid on the enhanced dose deposition effect by secondary electrons of nanomaterials with high atomic numbers (Z); despite this, cell-cycle arrest, DNA damage, and also reactive oxygen species (ROS) production are critical working mechanisms that account for radiosensitization. Herein, an 'all-purpose' nanostrategy based on dose deposition enhancement, cell cycle arrest, and ROS production as prostate cancer radiosensitizer for potential clinical translation was proposed. The rather simple structure of docetaxel-loaded Au nanoparticles (NPs) with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand conjugation have been successfully synthesized. Enhanced cellular uptake achieved via the selective internalization of the NPs by PCa cells with positive PSMA expression could guarantee enhanced dose deposition. Moreover, the as-synthesized nanosystem could effectively arrest the cell cycle at G2/M phases, which would reduce the ability of DNA damage repair for more irradiation sensitive of the PCa cells. Moreover, the G2/M phase arrest would further promote cascade retention and the enrichment of NPs within the cells. Furthermore, ROS generation and double strand breaks greatly promoted by NPs under irradiation (IR) could also provide an underlying basis for effective radiosensitizers. In vitro and in vivo investigations confirmed the as-synthesized NPs as an effective nano-radiosensitizer with ideal safety. More importantly, all moieties within the present nanosystem have been approved by FDA for the purpose of PCa treatment, thus making it highly attractive for clinical translation.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the survival benefits and treatment related toxic effects of simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB-RT) for non-operative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. Methods: The data of 2 132 ESCC patients who were not suitable for surgery or rejected operation, and underwent radical radiotherapy from 2002 to 2016 in 10 hospitals of Jing-Jin-Ji Esophageal and Esophagogastric Cancer Radiotherapy Oncology Group (3JECROG) were analyzed. Among them, 518 (24.3%) cases underwent SIB (SIB group) and 1 614 (75.7%) cases did not receive SIB (No-SIB group). The two groups were matched with 1∶2 according to propensity score matching (PSM) method (caliper value=0.02). After PSM, 515 patients in SIB group and 977 patients in No-SIB group were enrolled. Prognosis and treatment related adverse effects of these two groups were compared and the independent prognostic factor were analyzed. Results: The median follow-up time was 61.7 months. Prior to PSM, the 1-, 3-, and 5-years overall survival (OS) rates of SIB group were 72.2%, 42.8%, 35.5%, while of No-SIB group were 74.3%, 41.4%, 31.9%, respectively (P=0.549). After PSM, the 1-, 3-, and 5-years OS rates of the two groups were 72.5%, 43.4%, 36.4% and 75.3%, 41.7%, 31.6%, respectively (P=0.690). The univariate survival analysis of samples after PSM showed that the lesion location, length, T stage, N stage, TNM stage, simultaneous chemoradiotherapy, gross tumor volume (GTV) and underwent SIB-RT or not were significantly associated with the prognosis of advanced esophageal carcinoma patients who underwent radical radiotherapy (P<0.05). Cox model multivariate regression analysis showed lesion location, TNM stage, GTV and simultaneous chemoradiotherapy were independent prognostic factors of advanced esophageal carcinoma patients who underwent radical radiotherapy (P<0.05). Stratified analysis showed that, in the patients whose GTV volume≤50 cm(3), the median survival time of SIB and No-SIB group was 34.7 and 30.3 months (P=0.155), respectively. In the patients whose GTV volume>50 cm(3), the median survival time of SIB and No-SIB group was 16.1 and 20.1 months (P=0.218). The incidence of radiation esophagitis and radiation pneumonitis above Grade 3 in SIB group were 4.3% and 2.5%, significantly lower than 13.1% and 11% of No-SIB group (P<0.001). Conclusions: The survival benefit of SIB-RT in patients with locally advanced esophageal carcinoma is not inferior to non-SIB-RT, but without more adverse reactions, and shortens the treatment time. SIB-RT can be used as one option of the radical radiotherapy for locally advanced esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate and analyze the energy metabolism characteristics and the correlation between energy metabolism and the risk of secondary bacterial infection in patients with hepatitis B virus-related chronic liver disease (HBV-CLD). Methods: Data of 183 cases admitted to the Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University from November 2017 to November 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. 79 cases of chronic hepatitis B, 51 cases of hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis, and 53 cases of hepatitis B-related liver failure were collected. Among them patients with liver failure and decompensated liver cirrhosis were defined as severe liver disease group. The Quark RMR indirect calorimetry (COSMED Corporation, Italy) was used to exam the patients' energy metabolism condition, and the incidences of secondary bacterial infection of the patients during hospitalization were recorded. Shapiro-Wilk test and normal QQ plot were used to analyze the normal distribution of continuous variable data, which was consistent with the normal distribution and was described by mean ± standard deviation. In addition, if it did not conform to the normal distribution, the median and interquartile distance were used to describe it. Levene's test was used to test the homogeneity of variance of the data, which was consistent with the normal distribution. The t-test was used to compare the means of the two groups of samples. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the mean values of the three groups of samples, and then the Tukey's test was used to compare the two groups. If the variance was uneven or did not conform to the normal distribution, the Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the differences between the two groups. Kruskal-Wallis test (H test) was used to compare the differences between the three groups of samples, and then the Dunnett's test (Z test) was used for comparison between the two groups. Categorical variable data were analyzed using chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen independent risk factors, and the criteria for variable inclusion (P < 0.05). Results: The respiratory entropy (RQ) and non-protein respiratory entropy (npRQ) of the three groups had statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Among them, the RQ and npRQ of the chronic hepatitis B group were higher than hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis group and hepatitis B-related liver failure group. There were statistically significant differences in fat oxidation rate (FAT%) and carbohydrate oxidation rate (CHO%) between the three groups (P < 0.05). Compared with hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis group and hepatitis B-related liver failure group, chronic hepatitis B group (P < 0.05) had lower FAT% and higher CHO%. There were no statistically significant differences in the measured and predicted resting energy expenditure and protein oxidation rate (PRO%) between the three groups. The incidence of secondary bacterial infection in patients with severe liver disease was 48.39% (45/93). Compared with the non-infected group, the RQ and npRQ values of the infected group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), while FAT% was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that glutamyltransferase, cholesterol, and npRQ were independent risk factors for secondary bacterial infections in patients with severe liver disease. Glutamyltransferase elevation, and cholesterol and npRQ depletion had suggested an increased risk of secondary bacterial infection. Subgroup analysis of patients with hepatitis B-related liver failure also showed that compared with non-infected group, RQ value and npRQ value of secondary bacterial infection group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), while FAT% was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Patients with hepatitis B virus-related chronic liver disease generally have abnormal energy metabolism. Low RQ, npRQ, CHO% and high FAT% are related to the severity of the disease; while npRQ reduction is related to the risk of secondary bacterial infection in patients with severe liver disease, and thus can be used as a clinical prognostic indicator.

Abstract
Objective: This study intends to explore the difference in the efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors in patients with different FH phenotypes by analyzing the level of blood lipids before and after treatment with PCSK9 inhibitors in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) with different allele grades. Methods: Patients with FH phenotype, who admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2019 to October 2020, were enrolled. Age, sex and other clinical information were collected from enrolled, and the pathogenic genes were detected by the second generation sequencing technique. The patients were divided into five groups according to the number of alleles involved and the degree of gene damage: single allele-null mutation group, single allele-defect mutation group, multi-allele-null mutation group, multi-allele-defect mutation group and no major pathogenic gene mutation group. The results of blood lipids were collected before medication, 4-6 weeks of intensive statin treatment and one month after combined treatment with PCSK9 inhibitor (PCSK9i). The LDL-C level were compared among groups. ASCVD risk stratification was performed in all patients, and the proportion of LDL-C level reaching the corresponding risk stratification target value of each genotype group after treatment was analyzed. Results: A total of 66 patients with FH phenotype were included, including 47 males (71.2%) and 19 females (28.8%),the mean age was(43.1±13.4 years). There were 7 cases in single allele-null mutation group (10.6%), 25 cases in single allele-defect mutation group (37.9%), 8 cases in multi-allele-null mutation group (12.1%), 18 cases in multi-allele-defect mutation group (27.3%) and 8 cases in no major pathogenic mutation group (12.1%). The degree of LDL-C reduction post combined PCSK9 inhibitor therapy was as follows: single allele mutation group>no major pathogenic mutation group>multi-allele mutation group, general distribution was in the range of 0-90.0%. Two groups of single allele mutation and no major pathogenic mutation group>50.0%>multi-allele mutation group. Under the combined treatment of PCSK9 inhibitors, the further decrease of LDL-C was in the order of single allele mutation group>non-major pathogenic mutant group>multi-allele mutation group. The efficacy of combined therapy on reducing LDL-C at 1 month after treatment decreased with the increase of baseline LDL-C level (r = 0.46, P<0.001) in patients with FH phenotype. In addition, the further decrease of LDL-C level post high-intensity statin therapy combined with PCSK9 inhibitors decreased with the increase of baseline LDL-C levels (r = 0.40, P<0.001). The degree of LDL-C decrease was high and stable by statin combined with PCSK9 inhibitor therapy in single allele mutation group. In the single allele-defect mutant group, the decrease of LDL-C increased with the increase of baseline LDL-C level post intensive statin treatment and combined PCSK9 inhibitor treatment ((r=0.54, P=0.009); r=0.45,P=0.030), and the further decrease of LDL-C level decreased with the increase of baseline LDL-C level in single allele-defect mutant group post combined therapy with PCSK9 inhibitor (r=0.43, P=0.040). The decrease of LDL-C in patients with the multi-allele mutation group varied with different pathogenic gene loci and combinations post combined therapy with PCSK9 inhibitor. There was no significant difference in the level of blood lipids between the group without major pathogenic gene mutation and the group with single allele mutation before and after treatment. The percentage of patients achieving LDL-C goals with different genotypes of phenotypic FH were as follows: single allele mutation group (86.7%), non-major pathogenic mutant group (75.0%) and multi-allele mutation grou (<5.0%). Conclusions: All patients with different FH phenotypes could benefit from the intensive lipid-lowering therapy with statins and PCSK9 inhibitors, however, there are significant differences in the efficacy of lowering LDL-C in Chinese patients with FH phenotype with different molecular etiologies. Therefore, the pathogenic gene analysis may suggest the lipid-lowering effect of PCSK9 inhibitors in patients with FH.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of machine learning models in preoperative prediction of microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT radiomics features. Methods: The data of 148 patients [106 males and 42 females, with an average age of (58±11) years] with HCC confirmed by pathology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2015 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 88 cases of positive MVI and 60 cases of negative MVI. According to the ratio of 7∶3, the patients were randomly divided into the training and validation sets, respectively. The three-dimensional (3D) radiomics features of HCC in arterial phase (AP) and portal venous phase (PP) were extracted by MaZda software, and the optimal feature subset was obtained by combining three feature selection methods (FPM method) and Lasso regression. Then, six machine learning methods were used to build the prediction models. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to evaluate the prediction ability of the aforementioned models, and the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were calculated. Results: Radiomics features of HCC in AP and PP were extracted by MaZda software, with 239 in each phase. There were 7 optimal features in AP and 14 optimal features in PP selected by FPM method and Lasso regression, respectively. The AUCs of decision tree, extreme gradient boosting, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), generalized linear model, and neural network based on the 7 optimal features in AP in the validation set were 0.736, 0.910, 0.913, 0.915, 0.897, 0.648, respectively. The SVM had the highest AUC in the validation set, with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 95.35%, 95.83% and 94.74%, respectively. Likewise, the AUCs of machine learning models in prediction of MVI in HCC based on the 14 optimal features in PP in the validation set were 0.873, 0.876, 0.913, 0.859, 0.877, 0.834, respectively, and there were no significant differences (all P>0.05). The random forest had the highest AUC in the validation set, with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 90.70%, 87.50% and 94.74%, respectively. Conclusion: Machine learning models based on dual-phase enhanced CT radiomics features can be used in preoperative prediction of MVI in HCC, particularly the SVM and random forest models have high prediction efficiency.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common cancer that develops from oral epithelial cells, it has a high incidence, mortality and teratogenic rate, which poses a serious threat to people's life and health.The Hippo signaling pathway plays a key role in tumorigenesis, regulation of stem cell homeostasis, tissue regeneration, and organ size control. In OSCC, activation of Hippo signaling pathway can inhibit malignant biological behavior, epithelial mesenchymal transformation and distant metastasis of tumors, and improve the survival rate of patients. Considering the importance of the Hippo signaling pathway in the development of cancer, this paper summarized the composition and regulatory mechanism of Hippo pathway, elaborated the role of Hippo signaling pathway in the occurrence and development of OSCC.At the same time, make a simple generalization about the potential therapeutic approaches and strategies to reduce the risk of drug resistance for OSCC patients targeting this pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of the concentration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in CD4(+)T lymphocytes in predicting repeated respiratory tract infections (RRTI) in silicosis patients. Methods: In April 2020, 614 silicosis patients admitted from March 2016 to March 2018 were included in the study, and they were divided into the RRTI group (n=105) and the non RRTI group (n=509) according to whether the occurrence of RRTI, another 30 healthy cases taken from body check were served as control group, and the concentrations of ATP produced by CD4(+)T lymphocytes was measured by ImmuKnow assay, and were compared between the three groups. And drawed the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of RRTI. Results: The incidence of RRTI in silicosis patients was 17.10% (105/614) . The concentration of ATP produced by CD4(+)T lymphocytes in the RRTI group [ (260.42±90.36) mg/L] was significantly lower than that in the non RRTI group [ (413.66±138.74) mg/L] (t=-10.849, P<0.01) . The area under the ROC curve was 0.834, the cutoff value was 284 mg/L, the sensitivity was 0.88, and the specificity was 0.83. Logistic regression analysis showed that the concentration of ATP produced by CD4(+)T lymphocytes≤284 mg/L, impaired pulmonary ventilation function, serum albumin<40 g/L and diabetes were the risk factors of RRTI in silicosis patients (OR=2.126, 1.217, 1.164, 1.125, P<0.05) . Conclusion: Low CD4(+)T lymphocyte ATP value was a risk factor of RRTI in silicosis patients, and can predict the risk of RRTI in patients with silicosis.

Abstract
The World Health Organization emphasized the importance of goggles and face shields for protection of medical personnel at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unsurprisingly, almost all countries suffered from a critical supply shortage of goggles and face shields, as well as many other types of personal protective equipment (PPE), for a long period, owing to the lack of key medical material supplies and the inefficiency of existing fabrication methods arising from the need to avoid crowds during the outbreak of COVID-19. In this paper, we propose a novel combined shield design for eye and face protection that can be rapidly fabricated using three-dimensional printing technology. The designed prototype eye-face shield is accessible to the general public, offering more possibilities for yield improvement in PPE during emergent infectious disease events such as COVID-19.

Abstract
Arbutin, a glycoside extracted from the plant Arctostaphylos uva‐ursi, has been previously reported to possess antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and anticancer effects. Here, we investigated whether arbutin affects the proliferation of the cells of the osteosarcoma (OS) cell lines MG‐63 and SW1353. Arbutin suppressed OS cell viability in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner, as shown by Cell Counting Kit‐8 assay. Furthermore, arbutin exposure decreased the protein levels of MTHFD1L, CCND1 and phosphorylated‐protein kinase B (AKT)/phosphorylated‐mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Potential upstream miRNAs of MTHFD1L were predicted using TargetScan, PICTAR5, miRanda and miRWalk. We performed luciferase activity assays to show that miR‐338‐3p directly targets and negatively regulates the expression of MTHFD1L. Knockdown of miR‐338‐3p promoted cell invasion, migration and proliferation in arbutin‐treated OS cells via MTHFD1L. In summary, our data suggest that arbutin inhibits OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion via miR‐338‐3p/MTHFD1L and by inactivating the AKT/mTOR pathway.
