Efficacy and safety of tepotinib in Asian patients with advanced NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping enrolled in VISION

BACKGROUND

Tepotinib, a MET inhibitor approved for the treatment of MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping NSCLC, demonstrated durable clinical activity in VISION (Cohort A + C; N = 313): objective response rate (ORR) 51.4% (95% CI: 45.8, 57.1); median duration of response (mDOR) 18.0 months (95% CI: 12.4, 46.4). We report outcomes in Asian patients from VISION (Cohort A + C) (cut-off: November 20, 2022).

METHODS

Patients with advanced METex14 skipping NSCLC, detected by liquid or tissue biopsy, received tepotinib 500 mg (450 mg active moiety) once daily.

PRIMARY ENDPOINT

objective response (RECIST 1.1) by independent review. Secondary endpoints included: DOR, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

RESULTS

Across treatment lines in 106 Asian patients (39.6% female, 43.4% smoking history, 79.2% adenocarcinoma, 47.2% treatment-naive), ORR was 56.6% (95% CI: 46.6, 66.2), mDOR 18.5 months (10.4, ne), mPFS 13.8 months (10.8, 22.0), and mOS 25.5 months (19.3, 36.4). Consistent efficacy observed, regardless of baseline characteristics. HRQoL remained stable during treatment. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 95.3% of patients (39.6% Grade ≥3). Most common TRAEs: peripheral edema (62.3%), creatinine increase (38.7%).

CONCLUSIONS

Tepotinib demonstrated robust and durable efficacy, with a manageable safety profile, in Asian patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC.

Real-world osimertinib pretreatment experience in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor T790M mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

Osimertinib has demonstrated efficacy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in clinical trials. However, real-world data on its effectiveness remain scarce. Taiwanese patients with T790M-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and progressive disease following treatment with at least one EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) were enrolled from the osimertinib early access program. Of the 419 patients (mean age, 63 years; female, 67%), 53% were heavily pretreated (≥ third-line [3L]), making osimertinib a fourth-line (4L) intervention. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 8.95-11.41); the 18-month PFS rate was 26.5%. The median overall survival (OS) was 19.0 months (95% CI: 16.30-20.95); the 24-month OS rate was 40.9%. The objective response rate was 32.46%, and the disease control rate was 86.38%. The median time to treatment discontinuation of osimertinib monotherapy was 11.9 months (95% CI: 10.49-13.11). Subgroup analyses of median PFS and OS in the chemotherapy combination group vs. the osimertinib monotherapy group yielded no difference. Central nervous system (CNS) metastasis, number of prior lines of therapy, and types of initial EGFR-TKIs did not significantly impact outcomes. The median PFS values were 9.0 (95% CI: 5.18-11.34) and 10.9 (95% CI: 9.18-11.90) months with and without CNS metastasis, respectively, and 10.8 (95% CI: 8.59-12.69), 13.6 (95% CI: 10.89-16.3), and 9.2 (95% CI: 7.8-10.62) months for second-line (2L), 3L, and ≥4L therapy, respectively. In patients who received osimertinib as 2L therapy, the median PFS values in response to prior afatinib, erlotinib and gefitinib treatment were 11.2 (95% CI: 4.85-4.79), 10.5 (95% CI: 8.59-20.26) and 8.7 (95% CI: 7.21-16.79) months, respectively. Overall, real-world data from Taiwan support the clinical benefits of osimertinib in EGFR T790M -positive NSCLC.

Long COVID symptoms after 8-month recovery: persistent static lung hyperinflation associated with small airway dysfunction

BACKGROUND

Limited research has investigated the relationship between small airway dysfunction (SAD) and static lung hyperinflation (SLH) in patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) especially dyspnea and fatigue.

METHODS

64 patients with PASC were enrolled between July 2020 and December 2022 in a prospective observational cohort. Pulmonary function tests, impulse oscillometry (IOS), and symptom questionnaires were performed two, five and eight months after acute infection. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to test the association between SLH and patient-reported outcomes.

RESULTS

SLH prevalence was 53.1% (34/64), irrespective of COVID-19 severity. IOS parameters and circulating CD4/CD8 T-cell ratio were significantly correlated with residual volume to total lung capacity ratio (RV/TLC). Serum CD8 + T cell count was negatively correlated with forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) with statistical significance. Of the patients who had SLH at baseline, 57% continued to have persistent SLH after eight months of recovery, with these patients tending to be older and having dyspnea and fatigue. Post-COVID dyspnea was significantly associated with SLH and IOS parameters R5-R20, and AX with adjusted odds ratios 12.4, 12.8 and 7.6 respectively. SLH was also significantly associated with fatigue.

CONCLUSION

SAD and a decreased serum CD4/CD8 ratio were associated with SLH in patients with PASC. SLH may persist after recovery from infection in a substantial proportion of patients. SAD and dysregulated T-cell immune response correlated with SLH may contribute to the development of dyspnea and fatigue in patients with PASC.

Influence of vaccination on critical COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure: a retrospective cohort study

BACKGROUND

Despite vaccines' effectiveness in reducing COVID-19 infection rates and disease severity, their impact on critical patients presenting with acute respiratory failure is elusive. The aim of this study was to further investigate the influence of vaccination on mortality rates among severely ill COVID-19 patients experiencing acute respiratory failure.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study was carried out at a tertiary medical center in Taiwan. From April to September 2022, patients who tested positive for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and subsequently experienced acute respiratory failure were included in the study. Baseline characteristics, including vaccination history, along with information regarding critical illness and clinical outcomes, were gathered and compared between patients who received the vaccine and those who did not.

RESULTS

A total of 215 patients with COVID-19 exhibiting acute respiratory failure, as confirmed via RT‒PCR, were included in the analysis. Of this cohort, sixty-six (30.7%) patients died within 28 days. Neither administration of the vaccine nor achievement of primary series vaccination status had a significantly different effect on 28 day mortality, number of viral shedding events, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) incidence or other clinical outcomes. Patients who received the booster vaccine and completed the primary series showed a tendency of increased 28 days of ventilator-free status, though this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.815).

CONCLUSIONS

Vaccination status did not significantly influence mortality rates, the occurrence of ARDS, or the viral shedding duration in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure.

Observation of WWγ Production and Search for Hγ Production in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

The observation of WWγ production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} is presented. The observed (expected) significance is 5.6 (5.1) standard deviations. Events are selected by requiring exactly two leptons (one electron and one muon) of opposite charge, moderate missing transverse momentum, and a photon. The measured fiducial cross section for WWγ is 5.9±0.8(stat)±0.8(syst)±0.7(modeling)  fb, in agreement with the next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics prediction. The analysis is extended with a search for the associated production of the Higgs boson and a photon, which is generated by a coupling of the Higgs boson to light quarks. The result is used to constrain the Higgs boson couplings to light quarks.

[Analysis of clinical characteristics of persistent HBeAg positivity in patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues]

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of persistent HBeAg positivity in patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed according to different data types. An independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, or Fisher's exact probability method were used. Chronic hepatitis B patients followed up for four years were collected from the follow-up case database of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Zhongshan Third Hospital from January 2009 to December 2018 and were divided into two groups, A and B, with 87 and 145 cases respectively, according to the duration of HBeAg-negativity≤ 3 and persistent positivity >3 years. Statistical analysis was conducted on the age, gender, family history, baseline, follow-up visit duration, liver function, and other data among the two patient groups. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, family history of liver cirrhosis, family history of liver cancer, liver cirrhosis condition before treatment, fatty liver disease combined condition before treatment, baseline HBsAg, anti-HBc, alanine aminotransferase, albumin, or total bilirubin between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). HBV DNA and HBeAg were significantly higher in group B than those in group A at baseline, with P≤0.001. Aspartate aminotransferase and γ-glutamyl transferase were significantly higher in group A than those in group B at baseline. The proportion of family history of hepatitis B was significantly higher in group B (69.0%) than that in group A (50.6%) among the two groups of patients, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.005). The proportion of mothers with hepatitis B was significantly higher in group B (25.5%) than in group A (11.5%), P = 0.010. During the treatment process, the HBV DNA quantification was significantly higher in group B than that in group A at 0.5 and 1 years (P≤0.002). The proportion of HBV DNA <100IU/ml was also significantly different at six months and one year (χ(2)=30.327, P < 0.001 and χ(2)=11.779, P = 0.001). The HBsAg level was higher in group B than that of group A in the second and fourth years, P < 0.05. During the entire treatment process, the HBeAg level was significantly higher in group B than that in group A (P < 0.001). A total of seven cases developed liver cirrhosis or cancer during follow-up, including three cases in group A and four cases in group B (P > 0.05). Conclusion: HBeAg-positive patients with chronic hepatitis B have persistent HBeAg positivity when treated with long-term nucleos(t)ide analogues. Accordingly, a greater proportion of this kind of patient family and mothers have a remarkable history of hepatitis B and a reduced HBV DNA relapse rate in the early stages (within a year or less).

New Structures in the J/ψJ/ψ Mass Spectrum in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

A search is reported for near-threshold structures in the J/ψJ/ψ invariant mass spectrum produced in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV from data collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 135  fb^{-1}. Three structures are found, and a model with quantum interference among these structures provides a good description of the data. A new structure is observed with a local significance above 5 standard deviations at a mass of 6638_{-38}^{+43}(stat)_{-31}^{+16}(syst)  MeV. Another structure with even higher significance is found at a mass of 6847_{-28}^{+44}(stat)_{-20}^{+48}(syst)  MeV, which is consistent with the X(6900) resonance reported by the LHCb experiment and confirmed by the ATLAS experiment. Evidence for another new structure, with a local significance of 4.7 standard deviations, is found at a mass of 7134_{-25}^{+48}(stat)_{-15}^{+41}(syst)  MeV. Results are also reported for a model without interference, which does not fit the data as well and shows mass shifts up to 150 MeV relative to the model with interference.

[Clinical features and prognostic analysis of testicular relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia]

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of testicular relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: Clinical data including the age, time from initial diagnosis to recurrence, relapse site, and therapeutic effect of 37 pediatric ALL with testicular relapse and treated in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between November 2011 and December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were grouped according to different clinical data. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) rate and event free survival (EFS) rate for univariate analysis, and Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to evaluate the influencing factors of OS rate and EFS rate for multivariate analysis. Results: The age at initial diagnosis of 37 pediatric testicular relapse patients was (5±3) years and the time from initial diagnosis to testicular recurrence was (37±15) months. The follow-up time was 43 (22, 56) months. Twenty-three patients (62%) were isolated testis relapse. The 5-year OS rate and EFS rate of the 37 relapsed children were (60±9) % and (50±9) % respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the 2-year EFS rate in the group of patients with time from initial diagnosis to testicular recurrence >28 months was significantly higher than those ≤28 months ((69±10)% vs. (11±11)%, P<0.05), 2-year EFS rate of the isolated testicular relapse group was significantly higher than combined relapse group ((66±11)% vs. (20±13) %, P<0.05), 2-year EFS rate of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell treatment after relapse group was significantly higher than without CAR-T cell treatment after relapse group ((78±10)% vs. (15±10)%, P<0.05). ETV6-RUNX1 was the most common genetic aberration in testicular relapsed ALL (38%, 14/37). The 4-year OS and EFS rate of patients with ETV6-RUNX1 positive were (80±13) % and (64±15) %, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified relapse occurred≤28 months after first diagnosis (HR=3.09, 95%CI 1.10-8.72), combined relapse (HR=4.26, 95%CI 1.34-13.52) and CAR-T cell therapy after relapse (HR=0.15,95%CI 0.05-0.51) were independent prognostic factors for 2-year EFS rate (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The outcome of testicular relapse in pediatric ALL was poor. They mainly occurred 3 years after initial diagnosis. ETV6-RUNX1 is the most common abnormal gene.Patients with ETV6-RUNX1 positive often have a favorable outcome. Early relapse and combined relapse indicate unfavorable prognosis, while CAR-T cell therapy could significantly improve the survival rate of children with testicular recurrence.

[Research progress on the role of hepatitis B virus DNA integration in chronic hepatitis B]

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will greatly contribute to raising the occurrence probability of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients. Although existing antiviral treatment regimens have a certain effect on delaying disease progression and improving prognosis, it is still not effective in attaining functional cures. Hepatitis B virus DNA integration may be one of the reasons for this phenomenon. Therefore, this paper reviews the possible mechanisms of HBV DNA integration in maintaining chronic inflammation of the liver, evading existing antiviral treatment methods, and inducing hepatocellular carcinoma so as to further deepen the understanding of the role of HBV DNA integration in the occurrence and development of chronic hepatitis B, providing ideas and references for formulating better treatment strategies.

Search for Scalar Leptoquarks Produced via τ-Lepton-Quark Scattering in pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

The first search for scalar leptoquarks produced in τ-lepton-quark collisions is presented. It is based on a set of proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}. The reconstructed final state consists of a jet, significant missing transverse momentum, and a τ lepton reconstructed through its hadronic or leptonic decays. Limits are set on the product of the leptoquark production cross section and branching fraction and interpreted as exclusions in the plane of the leptoquark mass and the leptoquark-τ-quark coupling strength.

Clinical utility of immunohistochemical subtyping in patients with small cell lung cancer

OBJECTIVES

Molecular subtyping of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors based on the expression of four transcription factors (ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1) using immunohistochemical (IHC) staining has recently emerged as a proposed approach. This study was aimed to examine this subtyping method in Asian patients with SCLC and investigate its correlation with treatment efficacy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Seventy-two tumor samples from patients with SCLC, including de novo cases and those transformed from EGFR-mutant tumors, were analyzed. IHC staining was used to measure the expression of the four transcription factors and conventional SCLC markers. Subtypes were defined based on relative expression levels. The treatment response and outcome of patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy were also reviewed.

RESULTS

ASCL1 was the most common subtype, observed in 55.2 % of the samples, followed by NEUROD1 (26.9 %) and POU2F3 (9 %). No tumor exhibited predominant YAP1 positivity, while 41.8 % of the samples demonstrated positivity for two subtype markers. Approximately 50 % of the patients experienced a subtype switch after disease progression. Patients with the ASCL1/NEUROD1 (SCLC-A/N) subtype had similar progression-free survival (PFS) compared to non-SCLC-A/N patients after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors plus chemotherapy. Transformed SCLC patients had significantly worse PFS than de novo SCLC patients after chemoimmunotherapy. (2.1 vs. 5.4 months, P = 0.023) CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed the challenges associated with using IHC alone for molecular subtyping, highlighting the frequent co-expression of subtypes and temporal changes following treatment. Further research is warranted to explore the prognostic and therapeutic implications of IHC subtyping in patients with SCLC.

Low-dose CT screening among never-smokers with or without a family history of lung cancer in Taiwan: a prospective cohort study

BACKGROUND

In Taiwan, lung cancers occur predominantly in never-smokers, of whom nearly 60% have stage IV disease at diagnosis. We aimed to assess the efficacy of low-dose CT (LDCT) screening among never-smokers, who had other risk factors for lung cancer.

METHODS

The Taiwan Lung Cancer Screening in Never-Smoker Trial (TALENT) was a nationwide, multicentre, prospective cohort study done at 17 tertiary medical centres in Taiwan. Eligible individuals had negative chest radiography, were aged 55-75 years, had never smoked or had smoked fewer than 10 pack-years and stopped smoking for more than 15 years (self-report), and had one of the following risk factors: a family history of lung cancer; passive smoke exposure; a history of pulmonary tuberculosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders; a cooking index of 110 or higher; or cooking without using ventilation. Eligible participants underwent LDCT at baseline, then annually for 2 years, and then every 2 years up to 6 years thereafter, with follow-up assessments at each LDCT scan (ie, total follow-up of 8 years). A positive scan was defined as a solid or part-solid nodule larger than 6 mm in mean diameter or a pure ground-glass nodule larger than 5 mm in mean diameter. Lung cancer was diagnosed through invasive procedures, such as image-guided aspiration or biopsy or surgery. Here, we report the results of 1-year follow-up after LDCT screening at baseline. The primary outcome was lung cancer detection rate. The p value for detection rates was estimated by the χ2 test. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between lung cancer incidence and each risk factor. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of LDCT screening were also assessed. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02611570, and is ongoing.

FINDINGS

Between Dec 1, 2015, and July 31, 2019, 12 011 participants (8868 females) were enrolled, of whom 6009 had a family history of lung cancer. Among 12 011 LDCT scans done at baseline, 2094 (17·4%) were positive. Lung cancer was diagnosed in 318 (2·6%) of 12 011 participants (257 [2·1%] participants had invasive lung cancer and 61 [0·5%] had adenocarcinomas in situ). 317 of 318 participants had adenocarcinoma and 246 (77·4%) of 318 had stage I disease. The prevalence of invasive lung cancer was higher among participants with a family history of lung cancer (161 [2·7%] of 6009 participants) than in those without (96 [1·6%] of 6002 participants). In participants with a family history of lung cancer, the detection rate of invasive lung cancer increased significantly with age, whereas the detection rate of adenocarcinoma in situ remained stable. In multivariable analysis, female sex, a family history of lung cancer, and age older than 60 years were associated with an increased risk of lung cancer and invasive lung cancer; passive smoke exposure, cumulative exposure to cooking, cooking without ventilation, and a previous history of chronic lung diseases were not associated with lung cancer, even after stratification by family history of lung cancer. In participants with a family history of lung cancer, the higher the number of first-degree relatives affected, the higher the risk of lung cancer; participants whose mother or sibling had lung cancer were also at an increased risk. A positive LDCT scan had 92·1% sensitivity, 84·6% specificity, a PPV of 14·0%, and a NPV of 99·7% for lung cancer diagnosis.

INTERPRETATION

TALENT had a high invasive lung cancer detection rate at 1 year after baseline LDCT scan. Overdiagnosis could have occurred, especially in participants diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in situ. In individuals who do not smoke, our findings suggest that a family history of lung cancer among first-degree relatives significantly increases the risk of lung cancer as well as the rate of invasive lung cancer with increasing age. Further research on risk factors for lung cancer in this population is needed, particularly for those without a family history of lung cancer.

Search for Inelastic Dark Matter in Events with Two Displaced Muons and Missing Transverse Momentum in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

A search for dark matter in events with a displaced nonresonant muon pair and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} of proton-proton (pp) collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV produced by the LHC in 2016-2018. No significant excess over the predicted backgrounds is observed. Upper limits are set on the product of the inelastic dark matter production cross section σ(pp→A^{'}→χ_{1}χ_{2}) and the decay branching fraction B(χ_{2}→χ_{1}μ^{+}μ^{-}), where A^{'} is a dark photon and χ_{1} and χ_{2} are states in the dark sector with near mass degeneracy. This is the first dedicated collider search for inelastic dark matter.

Dynamic immune signatures of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer for infection prediction after immunotherapy

Background

Pulmonary infections are a crucial health concern for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Whether the clinical outcome of pulmonary infection is influenced by immunotherapy(IO) remains unclear. By evaluating immune signatures, this study investigated the post-immunotherapy risk of pulmonary infection in patients with lung cancer and identified circulating biomarkers that predict post-immunotherapy infection.

Methods

Blood specimens were prospectively collected from patients with NSCLC before and after chemotherapy(C/T) and/or IO to explore dynamic changes in immune signatures. Real-world clinical data were extracted from medical records for outcome evaluation. Mass cytometry and ELISA were employed to analyze immune signatures and cytokine profiles to reveal potential correlations between immune profiles and the risk of infection.

Results

The retrospective cohort included 283 patients with advanced NSCLC. IO was associated with a lower risk of pneumonia (odds ratio=0.46, p=0.012). Patients receiving IO and remained pneumonia-free exhibited the most favorable survival outcomes compared with those who received C/T or developed pneumonia (p<0.001). The prospective cohort enrolled 30 patients. The proportion of circulating NK cells significantly increased after treatment in IO alone (p<0.001) and C/T+IO group (p<0.01). An increase in cell densities of circulating PD-1+CD8+(cytotoxic) T cells (p<0.01) and PD-1+CD4+ T cells (p<0.01) were observed in C/T alone group after treatment. In IO alone group, a decrease in cell densities of TIM-3+ and PD-1+ cytotoxic T cells (p<0.05), and PD-1+CD4+ T cells (p<0.01) were observed after treatment. In C/T alone and C/T+IO groups, cell densities of circulating PD-1+ cytotoxic T cells significantly increased in patients with pneumonia after treatment(p<0.05). However, in IO alone group, cell density of PD-1+ cytotoxic T cells significantly decreased in patients without pneumonia after treatment (p<0.05). TNF-α significantly increased after treatment with IO alone (p<0.05) but decreased after C/T alone (p<0.01).

Conclusions

Our results indicate that the incorporation of immunotherapy into treatment regimens may potentially offer protective effects against pulmonary infection. Protective effects are associated with reduction of exhausted T-cells and augmentation of TNF-α and NK cells. Exhausted T cells, NK cells, and TNF-α may play crucial roles in immune responses against infections. These observations highlight the potential utility of certain circulating biomarkers, particularly exhausted T cells, for predicting post-treatment infections.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes among critically ill patients with cancer and COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure

BACKGROUND

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected individuals worldwide, and patients with cancer are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19-related severe illness, respiratory failure, and mortality. The relationship between COVID-19 and cancer remains a critical concern, and a comprehensive investigation of the factors affecting survival among patients with cancer who develop COVID-19-related respiratory failure is warranted. We aim to compare the characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure in patients with and without underlying cancer, while analyzing factors affecting in-hospital survival among cancer patients.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective observational study at Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan from May to September 2022, a period during which the omicron variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was circulating. Eligible patients had COVID-19 and acute respiratory failure. Clinical data, demographic information, disease severity markers, treatment details, and outcomes were collected and analyzed.

RESULTS

Of the 215 enrolled critically ill patients with COVID-19, 65 had cancer. The patients with cancer were younger and had lower absolute lymphocyte counts, higher ferritin and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations, and increased vasopressor use compared with those without cancer. The patients with cancer also received more COVID-19 specific treatments but had higher in-hospital mortality rate (61.5% vs 36%, P = 0.002) and longer viral shedding (13 vs 10 days, P = 0.007) than those without cancer did. Smoking [odds ratio (OR): 5.804, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.847-39.746], elevated LDH (OR: 1.004, 95% CI: 1.001-1.012), vasopressor use (OR: 5.437, 95% CI: 1.202-24.593), and new renal replacement therapy (OR: 3.523, 95% CI: 1.203-61.108) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality among patients with cancer and respiratory failure.

CONCLUSION

Critically ill patients with cancer experiencing COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure present unique clinical features and worse clinical outcomes compared with those without cancer. Smoking, elevated LDH, vasopressor use, and new renal replacement therapy were risk factors for in-hospital mortality in these patients.

Detecting circulating microbial cell-free DNA by next-generation sequencing in patients with Mycobacterium avium complex-lung disease: A pilot study

Objectives

Determining a diagnosis for non-Tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM)-lung disease (LD) remains difficult. The value of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) secreted from microbes has been established in the detection of pathogens in septic patients. However, it is unknown whether NTM-derived cfDNA is detectable in plasma from patients with NTM-LD and whether this is associated with the disease status of NTM-LD, especially in patients with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC)-LD.

Materials and Methods

In this pilot study, from 2018 to 2019, we enrolled adult patients with MAC-LD at Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan for the detection of circulating cfDNA. We performed cfDNA extraction from plasma, next-generation sequencing (NGS) for nonhuman cfDNA, and sequence matching to a microbial database and then assessed the association between pathogen cfDNA and MAC-LD.

Results

Two (40%) plasma samples from MAC-LD patients had detectable MAC-specific cfDNA, namely one instance of DNA polymerase III alpha subunit and one instance of ATP-binding cassette transporters permease. The plasma samples from the three other MAC-LD cases and the one tuberculosis control were negative for either NTM-derived cfDNA or tuberculosis-related cfDNA. In addition to MAC-specific cfDNA, Ralstonia solanacearum, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pasteurella multocida were the most observed bacteria in our patients. The two patients with MAC-cfDNA positivity yielded higher radiographic scores (P = 0.076) and presented a higher number of nonhuman reads than those without MAC-cfDNA positivity (P = 0.083).

Conclusion

Using NGS method, we demonstrated MAC-cfDNA was detectable in patients with MAC-LD. Further large-scale research is warranted to assess the clinical value of detecting MAC-specific cfDNA in MAC-LD patients.

Radiomics of metastatic brain tumor as a predictive image biomarker of progression-free survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer with brain metastasis receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitors

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the first-line therapy for EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Early prediction of treatment failure in patients with brain metastases treated with EGFR-TKIs may help in making decisions for systemic drug therapy or local brain tumor control. This study examined the predictive power of the radiomics of both brain metastasis tumors and primary lung tumors. We propose a deep learning based CoxCC model based on quantitative brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a prognostic index and clinical data; the model can be used to predict progression-free survival (PFS) after EGFR-TKI therapy in advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

METHODS

This retrospective single-center study included 271 patients receiving first-line EGFR-TKI targeted therapy in 2018-2019. Among them, 72 patients who had brain metastases before receiving first-line EGFR-TKI treatment. Three radiomic features were extracted from pretreatment brain MRI images. A CoxCC model for the progression risk stratification of EGFR-TKI treatment was proposed on the basis of MRI radiomics, clinical features, and a prognostic index. We performed time-dependent PFS predictions to evaluate the performance of the CoxCC model.

RESULTS

The CoxCC model based on a prognostic index, clinical features, and radiomic features of brain metastasis exhibited higher performance than clinical features combined with indexes previously proposed for determining the prognosis of brain metastasis, including recursive partitioning analysis, diagnostic-specific graded prognostic assessment, graded prognostic assessment for lung cancer using molecular markers (lung-molGPA), and modified lung-molGPA, with c-index values of 0.75, 0.67, 0.66, 0.65, and 0.65, respectively. The model achieved areas under the curve of 0.88, 0.73, 0.92, and 0.90 for predicting PFS at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, respectively. PFS significantly differed between the high- and low-risk groups (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

For patients with advanced-stage NSCLC with brain metastasis, MRI radiomics of brain metastases may predict PFS. The CoxCC model integrating brain metastasis radiomics, clinical features, and a prognostic index provided reliable multi-time-point PFS predictions for patients with advanced NSCLC and brain metastases receiving EGFR-TKI treatment.

A multiomic investigation of lung adenocarcinoma molecular subtypes

BACKGROUND

Lung adenocarcinoma-an aggressive and life-threatening malignancy-is a type of non-small-cell lung cancer. Despite medical advancements, the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma remains unfavorable, likely because of its heterogeneous nature. Furthermore, few subtype-specific treatments are available for lung adenocarcinoma. This study was conducted to explore the molecular subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma.

METHODS

We performed a joint analysis of transcriptome and proteome data from East Asian patients with lung adenocarcinoma (nonsmokers, 86.5%).

RESULTS

Four novel subtypes were identified based on distinct molecular characteristics: subtypes I, II, III, and IV. In patients with subtype I lung adenocarcinoma, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 1 activates cell proliferation; inhibiting this factor suppresses tumor growth, and reducing its level induces autophagy. Subtype II is characterized by Kristen rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog-activating oncogenesis; the onset age of this subtype is the lowest among all subtypes. Subtype III manifests as an advanced disease at diagnosis; it is characterized by a core serum response-related oncogenic signature, which indicates poor overall survival in Western patients with lung cancer. Subtype IV is more common in men than in women; it has astroglial characteristics. A Connectivity Map analysis revealed that the oncogenic expression patterns corresponding to subtypes I, II, III, and IV can be reversed by the inhibitors of Inhibitor of κB (IκB) kinase (eg, withaferin A), mammalian target of rapamycin (eg, everolimus), Src proto-oncogene (Src) (eg, saracatinib), and Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β/Smad (eg, LY-364947), respectively.

CONCLUSION

This study introduced an innovative multiomics data analysis pipeline. Using this approach, we successfully identified four molecular subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma and their candidate therapeutic agents. The newly identified subtypes can be combined with the current biomarkers to generate a comprehensive roadmap for treatment decision-making.

Probing Small Bjorken-x Nuclear Gluonic Structure via Coherent J/ψ Photoproduction in Ultraperipheral Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV

Quasireal photons exchanged in relativistic heavy ion interactions are powerful probes of the gluonic structure of nuclei. The coherent J/ψ photoproduction cross section in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions is measured as a function of photon-nucleus center-of-mass energies per nucleon (W_{γN}^{Pb}) over a wide range of 40 Collapse

Management strategies for intracranial progression in ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer: a real-world cohort study

PURPOSE

ALK-positive NSCLC patients exhibit a particularly high propensity for the development of brain metastases. Current guidelines suggest transit to next-line therapy (SysTx) or local radiotherapy (RadTx) including whole-brain radiotherapy and radiosurgery. However, the clinical impact of these two strategies remains unclear.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective analysis focusing on patients with stage IV ALK-positive NSCLC who underwent first-line ALK TKI treatment. Patients with intracranial progression may receive two different treatment strategies: SysTx and RadTx. Our objective was to investigate the outcomes associated with these two distinct treatment pathways.

RESULTS

A total 20 patients of ALK-positive NSCLC who received first-line ALK TKI therapy and subsequently developed intracranial progression were enrolled. About 55% of patients had brain metastasis initially. Nine patients (45%) were treated with crizotinib at first. Patients treated with crizotinib demonstrated a significantly shorter intracranial PFS1 (crizotinib: 8.27 months vs. others: 27.0 months, p = 0.006). Following intracranial progression, approximately 60% of patients transitioned to the next line of systemic treatment (SysTx), while the remaining 40% opted for local cranial radiotherapy (RadTx). Intriguingly, our analysis revealed no statistically significant difference in intracranial progression-free survival (PFS2) between these two distinct treatment strategies. (SysTx: 20.87 months vs. RadTx: 28.23 months, p = 0.461).

CONCLUSION

The intracranial progression-free survival showed no difference between the two strategies suggesting that both local radiotherapy and systemic therapy may be valid options. Individualized strategy, molecular analysis, and multidisciplinary conferences may all play a pivotal role in decision-making.

Low-Dose Computed Tomography Screening in Relatives With a Family History of Lung Cancer

INTRODUCTION

The role of a family history of lung cancer (LCFH) in screening using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has not been prospectively investigated with long-term follow-up.

METHODS

A multicenter prospective study with up to three rounds of annual LDCT screening was conducted to determine the detection rate of lung cancer (LC) in asymptomatic first- or second-degree relatives of LCFH.

RESULTS

From 2007 to 2011, there were 1102 participants enrolled, including 805 and 297 from simplex and multiplex families (MFs), respectively (54.2% women and 70.0% never-smokers). The last follow-up date was May 5, 2021. The overall LC detection rate was 4.5% (50 of 1102). The detection rate in MF was 9.4% (19 of 202) and 4.4% (4 of 91) in never-smokers and in those who smoked, respectively. The corresponding rates for simplex families were 3.7% (21 of 569) and 2.7% (6 of 223), respectively. Of these, 68.0% and 22.0% of cases with stage I and IV diseases, respectively. LC diagnoses within a 3-year interval from the initial screening tend to be younger, have a higher detection rate, and have stage I disease; thereafter, more stage III-IV disease and 66.7% (16 of 24) with negative or semipositive nodules in initial computed tomography scans. Within the 6-year interval, only maternal (modified rate ratio = 4.46, 95% confidence interval: 2.32-8.56) or maternal relative history of LC (modified rate ratio = 5.41, 95% confidence interval: 2.84-10.30) increased the risk of LC.

CONCLUSIONS

LCFH is a risk factor for LC and is increased with MF history, among never-smokers, younger adults, and those with maternal relatives with LC. Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the mortality benefit of LDCT screening in those with LCFH.

Treatment and survival of patients with small cell lung cancer and brain metastasis

PURPOSE

To elucidate treatment patterns and their outcomes in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and brain metastasis (BM).

METHODS

In this retrospective study, patients with SCLC and BM were stratified by treatment modality into three groups: those treated with systemic therapy only, those treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and systemic therapy, and those treated with whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and systemic therapy. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and time to central nervous system progression (TTCP).

RESULTS

The analysis included 149 patients. After BM diagnosis, 48 patients (32.2%) received systemic therapy alone, 33 received SRS with systemic therapy, and 68 received WBRT with systemic therapy. The median OS and TTCP were 7.2 months and 8.7 months, respectively. Patients receiving WBRT with systemic therapy exhibited better intracranial control, but not better OS, than did the other patients. Key prognostic factors affecting OS were age, BM lesion count, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Notably, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status and BM lesion count significantly influenced intracranial control in patients treated with SRS and systemic therapy.

CONCLUSION

Although WBRT combined with systemic therapy offer better intracranial control in patients with SCLC and BM, this approach is not superior to the other approaches in terms of OS benefits. Emerging systemic therapies, such as immunotherapy, may be used as alternative or adjunctive treatments for specific patient populations. Further studies are warranted to refine treatment selection.

Polygenic Risk Score, Environmental Tobacco Smoke, and Risk of Lung Adenocarcinoma in Never-Smoking Women in Taiwan

Importance

Estimating absolute risk of lung cancer for never-smoking individuals is important to inform lung cancer screening programs.

Objectives

To integrate data on environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), a known lung cancer risk factor, with a polygenic risk score (PRS) that captures overall genetic susceptibility, to estimate the absolute risk of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) among never-smokers in Taiwan.

Design, Setting, and Participants

The analyses were conducted in never-smoking women in the Taiwan Genetic Epidemiology Study of Lung Adenocarcinoma, a case-control study. Participants were recruited between September 17, 2002, and March 30, 2011. Data analysis was performed from January 17 to July 15, 2022.

Exposures

A PRS was derived using 25 genetic variants that achieved genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10-8) in a recent genome-wide association study, and ETS was defined as never exposed, exposed at home or at work, and exposed at home and at work.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The Individualized Coherent Absolute Risk Estimator software was used to estimate the lifetime absolute risk of LUAD in never-smoking women aged 40 years over a projected 40-year span among the controls by using the relative risk estimates for the PRS and ETS exposures, as well as age-specific lung cancer incidence rates for never-smokers in Taiwan. Likelihood ratio tests were conducted to assess an additive interaction between the PRS and ETS exposure.

Results

Data were obtained on 1024 women with LUAD (mean [SD] age, 59.6 [11.4] years, 47.9% ever exposed to ETS at home, and 19.5% ever exposed to ETS at work) and 1024 controls (mean [SD] age, 58.9 [11.0] years, 37.0% ever exposed to ETS at home, and 14.3% ever exposed to ETS at work). The overall average lifetime 40-year absolute risk of LUAD estimated using PRS alone was 2.5% (range, 0.6%-10.3%) among women never exposed to ETS. When integrating both ETS and PRS data, the estimated absolute risk was 3.7% (range, 0.6%-14.5%) for women exposed to ETS at home or work and 5.3% (range, 1.2%-12.1%) for women exposed to ETS at home and work. A super-additive interaction between ETS and the PRS (P = 6.5 × 10-4 for interaction) was identified.

Conclusions and Relevance

This study found differences in absolute risk of LUAD attributed to genetic susceptibility according to levels of ETS exposure in never-smoking women. Future studies are warranted to integrate these findings in expanded risk models for LUAD.

Evaluating the Potential of Delta Radiomics for Assessing Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Treatment Response in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Our study aimed to harness the power of CT scans, observed over time, in predicting how lung adenocarcinoma patients might respond to a treatment known as EGFR-TKI. Analyzing scans from 322 advanced stage lung cancer patients, we identified distinct image-based patterns. By integrating these patterns with comprehensive clinical information, such as gene mutations and treatment regimens, our predictive capabilities were significantly enhanced. Interestingly, the precision of these predictions, particularly related to radiomics features, diminished when data from various centers were combined, suggesting that the approach requires standardization across facilities. This novel method offers a potential pathway to anticipate disease progression in lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with EGFR-TKI, laying the groundwork for more personalized treatments. To further validate this approach, extensive studies involving a larger cohort are pivotal.

Observation of the Rare Decay of the η Meson to Four Muons

A search for the rare η→μ^{+}μ^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} double-Dalitz decay is performed using a sample of proton-proton collisions, collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC with high-rate muon triggers during 2017 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101  fb^{-1}. A signal having a statistical significance well in excess of 5 standard deviations is observed. Using the η→μ^{+}μ^{-} decay as normalization, the branching fraction B(η→μ^{+}μ^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-})=[5.0±0.8(stat)±0.7(syst)±0.7(B_{2μ})]×10^{-9} is measured, where the last term is the uncertainty in the normalization channel branching fraction. This work achieves an improved precision of over 5 orders of magnitude compared to previous results, leading to the first measurement of this branching fraction, which is found to agree with theoretical predictions.

Characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 insertions

PURPOSE

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertions (ex20ins) are associated with poor prognosis and resistance to traditional therapies in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to elucidate the characteristics and treatment patterns to improve outcomes among this population in Taiwan.

METHODS

Patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC harboring EGFR ex20ins from 2011 to 2021 were reviewed. The treatment groups were classified as platinum-based chemotherapy (PtC), EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), and others. The response to therapy, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and factors associated with survival were analyzed.

RESULTS

Among the 71 patients, most were never-smoking males with stage IVB adenocarcinoma. The most common first-line (1L) regimen was PtC, followed by TKI. The most common second-line (2L) regimen was TKI. The median PFS of 1L treatment was 5.03 months, and the median OS was 18.43 months. Compared with that of TKI, 1L PtC use was associated with a higher ORR (26.3% vs. 9.1%) and DCR (60.5% vs. 18.2%) and a longer PFS (5.37 vs. 3.13 months, p = 0.044). PFS was also significantly longer in the 2L PtC group than in the 2L TKI group (4.73 vs. 2.25 months, p = 0.047). No patients receiving an immune checkpoint inhibitor-based regimen exhibited a therapeutic response.

CONCLUSION

This study demonstrated the heterogeneous clinical characteristics and treatment pattern of NSCLC patients with EGFR ex20ins, underscoring the need for more effective therapies for this distinct molecular subtype.

[Associations of cardiometabolic multimorbidity with grip strength and gait speed among older Chinese adults]

Objective: To investigate the associations of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) with grip strength and gait speed among older Chinese adults. Methods: This study included participants aged ≥60 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey during 2011-2015. Generalized estimating equation models were employed to estimate the associations of CMM with grip strength and gait speed. Results: A total of 6 357 participants were included to measure grip strength and 6 250 participants to measure gait speed. Compared with no cardiometabolic disease, participants with 1 (β=-0.018, 95%CI: -0.026--0.010), 2 (β=-0.029, 95%CI: -0.041- -0.018), and ≥3 (β=-0.050, 95%CI: -0.063- -0.037) cardiometabolic diseases were associated with a decreased grip strength. The associations between cardiometabolic disease counts (1: β=-0.052, 95%CI: -0.326-0.222; 2: β=-0.083, 95%CI: -0.506-0.340; ≥3: β=-0.186, 95%CI: -0.730-0.358) and gait speed were not statistically significant. The predictive value of gait speed of the participants with 0, 1, 2, and ≥3 cardiometabolic diseases were found to be 1.98 (95%CI: 1.38-2.58), 1.93 (95%CI: 1.34-2.51), 1.89 (95%CI: 1.18-2.61), and 1.79 (95%CI: 1.10-2.48) m/s respectively, which was clinically significant for the magnitude of the decrease. Cardiometabolic combinations with a higher risk of decreased grip strength and gait speed mainly seen in diabetes. Conclusions: Cardiometabolic disease counts and combinations were associated with grip strength and gait speed. Grip strength and gait speed can be used to measure CMM severity.

Modifications of lipid pathways restrict SARS-CoV-2 propagation in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived 3D airway organoids

BACKGROUND

Modifications of lipid metabolism were closely associated with the manifestations and prognosis of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). Pre-existing metabolic conditions exacerbated the severity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection while modulations of aberrant lipid metabolisms alleviated the manifestations. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, an experimental platform that reproduces human respiratory physiology is required.

METHODS

Here we generated induced pluripotent stem cell-derived airway organoids (iPSC-AOs) that resemble the human native airway. Single-cell sequencing (ScRNAseq) and microscopic examination verified the cellular heterogeneity and microstructures of iPSC-AOs, respectively. We subjected iPSC-AOs to SARS-CoV-2 infection and investigated the treatment effect of lipid modifiers statin drugs on viral pathogenesis, gene expression, and the intracellular trafficking of the SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2).

RESULTS

In SARS-CoV-2-infected iPSC-AOs, immunofluorescence staining detected the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins and bioinformatics analysis further showed the aberrant enrichment of lipid-associated pathways. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 hijacked the host RNA replication machinery and generated the new isoforms of a high-density lipoprotein constituent apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1) and the virus-scavenging protein deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 (DMBT1). Manipulating lipid homeostasis using cholesterol-lowering drugs (e.g. Statins) relocated the viral entry receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) and decreased N protein expression, leading to the reduction of SARS-CoV-2 entry and replication. The same lipid modifications suppressed the entry of luciferase-expressing SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses containing the S proteins derived from different SARS-CoV-2 variants, i.e. wild-type, alpha, delta, and omicron.

CONCLUSIONS

Together, our data demonstrated that modifications of lipid pathways restrict SARS-CoV-2 propagation in the iPSC-AOs, which the inhibition is speculated through the translocation of ACE2 from the cell membrane to the cytosol. Considering the highly frequent mutation and generation of SARS-CoV-2 variants, targeting host metabolisms of cholesterol or other lipids may represent an alternative approach against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Leptomeningeal metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer after stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastasis

OBJECTIVE

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an effective treatment for brain metastases (BMs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, factors associated with the development of post-SRS leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) remain unclear. The authors analyzed the incidence and risk factors of LM development in patients with NSCLC and BMs after SRS and examined the survival outcomes and prognostic factors after LM development.

METHODS

This retrospective study included patients with NSCLC treated with SRS for MRI-diagnosed BM from 2002 to 2021. The authors recorded various clinical and demographic data, including age, sex, tumor histology, molecular profile of tumors, extracranial disease status, previous craniotomy, Karnofsky Performance Status, systemic treatments, tumor volume, and number of BMs. The management and survival outcomes after LM diagnosis were also recorded.

RESULTS

LM developed in 13.7% of patients with NSCLC and BMs after SRS treatment. Large initial tumor volume and more than 5 BM lesions, but not EGFR mutation status and post-SRS treatment, were associated with LM development after SRS. Multivariate analysis revealed that chemotherapy and targeted therapy after LM were associated with better survival in patients with LM after SRS.

CONCLUSIONS

This study is the first to evaluate the risk factors for LM in a relatively large cohort of patients with NSCLC after SRS. In patients with BMs harboring risk factors for subsequent LM, such as initial tumor volume and number of metastatic lesions, aggressive therapies with high CNS penetrating ability should be considered.

Application of Radiomics in Prognosing Lung Cancer Treated with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

In the context of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), this research evaluated the prognostic value of CT-based radiomics. A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of studies up to April 2023, which included 3111 patients, was conducted. We utilized the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool and radiomics quality scoring (RQS) system to assess the quality of the included studies. Our analysis revealed a pooled hazard ratio for progression-free survival of 2.80 (95% confidence interval: 1.87-4.19), suggesting that patients with certain radiomics features had a significantly higher risk of disease progression. Additionally, we calculated the pooled Harrell's concordance index and area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.71 and 0.73, respectively, indicating good predictive performance of radiomics. Despite these promising results, further studies with consistent and robust protocols are needed to confirm the prognostic role of radiomics in NSCLC.

[Genomics of next generation sequencing in pediatric B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and its impact on minimal residual disease]

Objective: To describe the gene mutation profile of newly diagnosed pediatric B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and analyze its effect on minimal residual disease (MRD). Methods: A total of 506 newly diagnosed B-ALL children treated in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from September 2018 to July 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. The enrolled children were divided into MRD ≥1.00% group and <1.00% group according to MRD results on the 19th day since chemotherapy, and MRD ≥0.01% group and <0.01% group according to MRD results on the 46th day. Clinical characteristics and gene mutations of two groups were compared. Comparisons between groups were performed with chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Independent risk factors of MRD results on the 19th day and the 46th day were analyzed by Logistic regression model. Results: Among all 506 patients, there were 318 males and 188 females. On the 19th day, there were 114 patients in the MRD ≥1.00% group and 392 patients in the MRD <1.00% group. On the 46th day, there were 76 patients in the MRD ≥0.01% group and 430 patients in the MRD <0.01% group. A total of 187 gene mutations were detected in 487 (96.2%) of 506 children. The most common gene mutations were signal transduction-related KRAS gene mutations in 111 cases (22.8%) and NRAS gene mutations in 99 cases (20.3%). Multivariate analysis showed that PTPN11 (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.00-3.63), KMT2A (OR=3.51, 95%CI 1.07-11.50) gene mutations and TEL-AML1 (OR=0.48, 95%CI 0.27-0.87), BCR-ABL1 (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.08-0.92) fusion genes and age >10 years (OR=1.91, 95%CI 1.12-3.24) were independent influencing factors for MRD ≥1.00% on the 19th day. BCORL1 (OR=2.96, 95%CI 1.18-7.44), JAK2 (OR=2.99, 95%CI 1.07-8.42) and JAK3 (OR=4.83, 95%CI 1.50-15.60) gene mutations and TEL-AML1 (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.21-0.87) fusion gene were independent influencing factors for MRD ≥0.01% on the 46th day. Conclusions: Children with B-ALL are prone to genetic mutations, with abnormalities in the RAS signaling pathway being the most common. Signal transduction related PTPN11, JAK2 and JAK3 gene mutations, epigenetic related KMT2A gene mutation and transcription factor related BCORL1 gene mutation are independent risk factors for MRD.

Genome-wide association study of lung adenocarcinoma in East Asia and comparison with a European population

Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer. Known risk variants explain only a small fraction of lung adenocarcinoma heritability. Here, we conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study of lung adenocarcinoma of East Asian ancestry (21,658 cases and 150,676 controls; 54.5% never-smokers) and identified 12 novel susceptibility variants, bringing the total number to 28 at 25 independent loci. Transcriptome-wide association analyses together with colocalization studies using a Taiwanese lung expression quantitative trait loci dataset (n = 115) identified novel candidate genes, including FADS1 at 11q12 and ELF5 at 11p13. In a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of East Asian and European studies, four loci were identified at 2p11, 4q32, 16q23, and 18q12. At the same time, most of our findings in East Asian populations showed no evidence of association in European populations. In our studies drawn from East Asian populations, a polygenic risk score based on the 25 loci had a stronger association in never-smokers vs. individuals with a history of smoking (Pinteraction = 0.0058). These findings provide new insights into the etiology of lung adenocarcinoma in individuals from East Asian populations, which could be important in developing translational applications.

Efficacy of different platforms in detecting EGFR mutations using cerebrospinal fluid cell-free DNA from non-small-cell lung cancer patients with leptomeningeal metastases

BACKGROUND

Cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) obtained through liquid biopsy is useful for the molecular analysis of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Few studies have directly compared analysis platforms in terms of their diagnostic performance in analyzing ctDNA obtained from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with leptomeningeal metastasis (LM).

METHODS

We prospectively analyzed patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant NSCLC who were subjected to CSF analysis for suspected LM. To detect EGFR mutations, CSF ctDNA was analyzed using the cobas EGFR Mutation Test and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). CSF samples from osimertinib-refractory patients with LM were also subjected to next-generation sequencing (NGS).

RESULTS

Significantly higher rates of valid results (95.1% vs. 78%, respectively, p = 0.04) and EGFR common mutation detection (94.3% vs. 77.1%, respectively, p = 0.047) were obtained through ddPCR than through the cobas EGFR Mutation Test. The sensitivities of ddPCR and cobas were 94.3% and 75.6%, respectively. The concordance rate for EGFR mutation detection through ddPCR and the cobas EGFR Mutation Test was 75.6% and that for EGFR mutation detection in CSF and plasma ctDNA was 28.1%. In osimertinib-resistant CSF samples, all original EGFR mutations were detected through NGS. MET amplification and CCDC6-RET fusion were demonstrated in one patient each (9.1%).

CONCLUSIONS

The cobas EGFR Mutation Test, ddPCR, and NGS appear to be feasible methods for analyzing CSF ctDNA in patients with NSCLC and LM. In addition, NGS may provide comprehensive information regarding the mechanisms underlying osimertinib resistance.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration for the diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis: A 9-year experience at a single center

BACKGROUND

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is valuable for diagnosing pulmonary sarcoidosis. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA and cytology in sarcoidosis during the first 9 years at our institution.

METHODS

Patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA for suspected sarcoidosis between January 2011 and November 2019 were identified retrospectively. EBUS-TBNA was performed with rapid on-site cytological evaluation of the samples. The final diagnosis was based on the pathology and/or cytology results, radiologic features, and clinical follow-up findings. The yield rate was analyzed annually.

RESULTS

Eighty patients underwent 83 EBUS-TBNA procedures for suspected sarcoidosis. In total, 136 lymph nodes were sampled. The mean number of lymph node stations sampled was 2.0 ± 0.6; the mean number of needle passes per lymph node was 3.5 ± 0.8. Sixty-five patients were diagnosed with sarcoidosis, with a total of 68 procedures. Nonnecrotizing granulomatous inflammation was detected in the EBUS-TBNA samples from 49/68 procedures (yield rate: 72.1%). Of 19 patients with sarcoidosis who did not obtain a pathological diagnosis with EBUS-TBNA, epithelioid cells and/or multinuclear giant cells suggestive of granulomatous inflammation were detected in five. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (NPV) for pathological diagnosis of sarcoidosis using EBUS-TBNA were 72.1%, 100%, 100%, and 24.0%, respectively. On using cytology, the sensitivity and NPV increased to 79.4% and 26.3%, respectively. The yield rate did not increase until 2016.

CONCLUSION

EBUS-TBNA is useful for diagnosing sarcoidosis. Cytology resulted in an additional yield rate of 7.3%, which improved as the number of cases increased.

[Correlation between intestinal and respiratory flora and their metabolites in a rat pneumoconiosis model]

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.

A radiomics-based deep learning approach to predict progression free-survival after tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in non-small cell lung cancer

BACKGROUND

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a first-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations. Approximately half of the patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC are treated with EGFR-TKIs and develop disease progression within 1 year. Therefore, the early prediction of tumor progression in patients who receive EGFR-TKIs can facilitate patient management and development of treatment strategies. We proposed a deep learning approach based on both quantitative computed tomography (CT) characteristics and clinical data to predict progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced NSCLC after EGFR-TKI treatment.

METHODS

A total of 593 radiomic features were extracted from pretreatment chest CT images. The DeepSurv models for the progression risk stratification of EGFR-TKI treatment were proposed based on CT radiomic and clinical features from 270 stage IIIB-IV EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients. Time-dependent PFS predictions at 3, 12, 18, and 24 months and estimated personalized PFS curves were calculated using the DeepSurv models.

RESULTS

The model combining clinical and radiomic features demonstrated better prediction performance than the clinical model. The model achieving areas under the curve of 0.76, 0.77, 0.76, and 0.86 can predict PFS at 3, 12, 18, and 24 months, respectively. The personalized PFS curves showed significant differences (p < 0.003) between groups with good (PFS > median) and poor (PFS < median) tumor control.

CONCLUSIONS

The DeepSurv models provided reliable multi-time-point PFS predictions for EGFR-TKI treatment. The personalized PFS curves can help make accurate and individualized predictions of tumor progression. The proposed deep learning approach holds promise for improving the pre-TKI personalized management of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

[Cryptic COL1A1-PDGFB fusion in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: a clinicopathological and genetic analysis]

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological and cytogenetic features of cryptic COL1A1-PDGFB fusion dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (CC-DFSP). Methods: Three cases of CC-DFSP diagnosed in West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China from January 2021 to September 2021 were studied. Immunohistochemistry for CD34 and other markers, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for PDGFB, COL1A1-PDGFB and COL1A1, next-generation sequencing (NGS), reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Sanger sequencing were performed. Results: There were three cases of CC-DFSP, including two females and one male. The patients were 29, 44 and 32 years old, respectively. The sites were abdominal wall, caruncle and scapula. Microscopically, they were poorly circumscribed. The spindle cells of the tumors infiltrated into the whole dermis or subcutaneous tissues, typically arranging in a storiform pattern. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells exhibited diffuse CD34 expression, but were negative for S-100, SMA, and Myogenin. Loss of H3K27me3 was not observed in the tumor cells. The Ki-67 index was 10%-15%. The 3 cases were all negative for PDGFB rearrangement and COL1A1-PDGFB fusion, whereas showing unbalanced rearrangement for COL1A1. Case 1 showed a COL1A1 (exon 31)-PDGFB (exon 2) fusion using NGS, which was further validated through RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. All patients underwent extended surgical resection. Except for case 3 with recurrence 2 years after surgical resection, the other 2 cases showed no recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up. Conclusions: FISH has shown its validity for detecting PDGFB rearrangement and COL1A1-PDGFB fusion and widely applied in clinical detection. However, for cases with negative routine FISH screening that were highly suspicious for DFSPs, supplementary NGS or at least COL1A1 break-apart FISH screening could be helpful to identify cryptic COL1A1-PDGFB fusions or other variant fusions.

Role of nebulized colistin as a substitutive strategy against nosocomial pneumonia caused by CR-GNB in intensive care units: a retrospective cohort study

BACKGROUND

Adverse reactions, especially nephrotoxicity, are great concerns of intravenous colistin treatment. The role of substitutive nebulized colistin in treating nosocomial pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial (CR-GNB) in critically ill patients remains unknown.

METHODS

This retrospective study enrolled patients with nosocomial pneumonia caused by colistin-susceptible CRGNB in the intensive care unit (ICU) without intravenous colistin treatment. Patients were categorized based on whether substitutive nebulized colistin was used alongside other intravenous antibiotics. Clinical responses and mortality rates were compared between the two groups in the original and propensity score (PS)-matched cohorts. This study aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness of substitutive nebulized colistin in treatment outcomes of nosocomial pneumonia caused by CR-GNB. The impact of dosing strategy of nebulized colistin was also explored.

RESULTS

In total, 343 and 214 patients with and without substitutive nebulized colistin, respectively, were enrolled for analysis. In the PS-matched cohort, clinical failure rates on day 7 (22.6 vs. 42.6%, p = 0.001), day 14 (27.0 vs. 42.6%, p = 0.013), and day 28 (27.8 vs. 41.7%, p = 0.027) were significantly lower in patients with nebulized colistin. In multivariate analysis, nebulized colistin was an independent factor associated with lower day 14 clinical failure (Original cohort: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.30-0.67; PS-matched cohort: aOR 0.48, 95% CI 0.27-0.87). There were no differences in clinical failure rate and mortality rate between patients receiving high (> 6 MIU/day) and low (≤ 6 MIU/day) dose nebulized colistin in the PS-matched cohort.

CONCLUSIONS

In ICU-admitted patients with nosocomial pneumonia caused by colistin-susceptible CRGNB, substitutive nebulized colistin was associated with better clinical outcomes.

A Machine Learning-Based Anomaly Detection Method and Blockchain-Based Secure Protection Technology in Collaborative Food Supply Chain

The complexity of the collaborative food supply chain has resulted in the frequent occurrence of food safety incidents, which harm people's health and life. Therefore, the maintenance of food safety has become a key value. This study expects to solve the food safety problem and bring more benefits to people using intelligent systems. To meet the safety needs of the collaborative food supply chain, this study designed a food safety protection system architecture which collects the supply and sales data of various suppliers, as well as the data of equipment used in production. The architecture can carry out anomaly detections with machine learning to make a preliminary judgement on whether a problem has occurred in this batch of food during the transaction, and then implement in-depth anomaly detections with the supplier's equipment to determine the stage at which this problem occurred. The proposed system can help food operators achieve effective food monitoring, prediction, prevention, and improvement, thereby improving food safety.

Artificial Intelligence Assisted Computational Tomographic Detection of Lung Nodules for Prognostic Cancer Examination: A Large-Scale Clinical Trial

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has emerged as a standard method for detecting early-stage lung cancer. However, the tedious computer tomography (CT) slide reading, patient-by-patient check, and lack of standard criteria to determine the vague but possible nodule leads to variable outcomes of CT slide interpretation. To determine the artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted CT examination, AI algorithm-assisted CT screening was embedded in the hospital picture archiving and communication system, and a 200 person-scaled clinical trial was conducted at two medical centers. With AI algorithm-assisted CT screening, the sensitivity of detecting nodules sized 4−5 mm, 6~10 mm, 11~20 mm, and >20 mm increased by 41%, 11.2%, 10.3%, and 18.7%, respectively. Remarkably, the overall sensitivity of detecting varied nodules increased by 20.7% from 67.7% to 88.4%. Furthermore, the sensitivity increased by 18.5% from 72.5% to 91% for detecting ground glass nodules (GGN), which is challenging for radiologists and physicians. The free-response operating characteristic (FROC) AI score was ≥0.4, and the AI algorithm standalone CT screening sensitivity reached >95% with an area under the localization receiver operating characteristic curve (LROC-AUC) of >0.88. Our study demonstrates that AI algorithm-embedded CT screening significantly ameliorates tedious LDCT practices for doctors.

Analysis of the effect of cytomegalovirus infection in clinical outcomes and prolonged duration of SARS-CoV-2 shedding in intensive care unit patients with COVID-19 pneumonia

BACKGROUND

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global outbreak disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection can occur in critical COVID-19 patients and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to explore the clinical characteristics and outcome of CMV infection in critical COVID-19 patients.

DESIGN

This was a retrospective cohort study.

METHODS

From May to September 2021, SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed COVID-19 patients with intensive care unit (ICU) admission were enrolled. CMV infection was confirmed by PCR. Baseline characteristics, critical illness data and clinical outcomes were recorded and analyzed.

RESULTS

Seventy-two RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 patients with ICU admission were included during the study period and 48 (66.7%) patients required mechanical ventilation (MV). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 19.4%. Twenty-one (29.2%) patients developed CMV infection. Patients with CMV infection had a higher likelihood of diabetes, higher lactate dehydrogenase and lactate levels, and higher proportions of MV, anticoagulant, and steroid use. Patients with CMV infection were associated with longer duration of SARS-CoV-2 shedding, longer ICU and hospital stay, and fewer ventilator-free days. The independent risk factor for development of CMV infection was a higher accumulative steroid dose.

CONCLUSION

CMV infection adversely impacted the outcomes of critical COVID-19 patients, resulting in longer ICU stays, longer mechanical ventilation uses and prolonged shedding of SARS-CoV-2.

Comparison of clinical outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients on mechanical ventilation with nosocomial pneumonia between Alpha and Omicron variants

BACKGROUND

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a pandemic that has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. Critically ill COVID-19 patients who require intubation and develop nosocomial pneumonia, commonly caused by gram-negative bacilli, have a higher mortality rate than those without nosocomial pneumonia.

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes and associated risk factors of Alpha and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) with nosocomial pneumonia.

DESIGN

This is a retrospective single-center cohort study.

METHODS

This observational study was conducted at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan from May 2021 to September 2022. Critically ill patients who had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and intubated on a MV with bacterial pneumonia were enrolled. Demographic data, laboratory results, and treatment information were collected and analyzed. In addition, clinical outcomes among different SARS-CoV-2 variants were examined.

RESULTS

This study included 94 critically ill COVID-19 patients who required intubation and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The Alpha group had a longer duration of SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding, MV days, and ICU stay, while the Omicron group had older age, more comorbidities, higher APACHE II scores, and higher in-hospital mortality (47.0% versus 25.0%, p = 0.047). However, independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality included malignancy, lower serum albumin levels, and lack of Remdesivir treatment, except for the SARS-CoV-2 variant.

CONCLUSION

Our study discovered a higher in-hospital mortality rate in severe COVID-19 patients with MV and secondary pneumonia infected with the Omicron variant compared to the Alpha variant; however, real independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality are malignancy, lower serum albumin level, and lack of Remdesivir treatment.

Circularly distributed multipliers with deterministic moduli assessing the stability of quasiperiodic response

The stability and bifurcation of a periodic solution of a dynamical system can be handled well by using the Floquet multipliers of the perturbed system with periodic coefficients. However, for a quasiperiodic (QP) response as a natural extension of a periodic one, it is much more difficult to do it quantitatively. Therefore, proposed here is an approach for defining and obtaining effective multipliers for QP stability. The proposed approach is based on a series of auxiliary variables via which the perturbed system with QP coefficients is transformed approximately into a constant one, whereupon the multipliers are obtained efficiently by performing eigenvalue analysis on the constant coefficient matrix. The major finding involves circularly distributed multipliers with deterministic moduli, with the QP response being stable if all the moduli are less than or equal to unity; otherwise it is unstable. When the QP response degenerates to periodic due to the reducibility of fundamental frequencies, the proposed approach exactly provides the Floquet multipliers for the periodic solution. From this respect, the obtained multipliers can be considered to some extent as being a generalization for QP response of the Floquet multipliers for a periodic solution.

Recalibrating Risk Prediction Models by Synthesizing Data Sources: Adapting the Lung Cancer PLCO Model for Taiwan

BACKGROUND

Methods synthesizing multiple data sources without prospective datasets have been proposed for absolute risk model development. This study proposed methods for adapting risk models for another population without prospective cohorts, which would help alleviate the health disparities caused by advances in absolute risk models. To exemplify, we adapted the lung cancer risk model PLCOM2012, well studied in the west, for Taiwan.

METHODS

Using Taiwanese multiple data sources, we formed an age-matched case-control study of ever-smokers (AMCCSE), estimated the number of ever-smoking lung cancer patients in 2011-2016 (NESLP2011), and synthesized a dataset resembling the population of cancer-free ever-smokers in 2010 regarding the PLCOM2012 risk factors (SPES2010). The AMCCSE was used to estimate the overall calibration slope, and the requirement that NESLP2011 equals the estimated total risk of individuals in SPES2010 was used to handle the calibration-in-the-large problem.

RESULTS

The adapted model PLCOT-1 (PLCOT-2) had an AUC of 0.78 (0.75). They had high performance in calibration and clinical usefulness on subgroups of SPES2010 defined by age and smoking experience. Selecting the same number of individuals for low-dose computed tomography screening using PLCOT-1 (PLCOT-2) would have identified approximately 6% (8%) more lung cancers than the US Preventive Services Task Forces 2021 criteria. Smokers having 40+ pack-years had an average PLCOT-1 (PLCOT-2) risk of 3.8% (2.6%).

CONCLUSIONS

The adapted PLCOT models had high predictive performance.

IMPACT

The PLCOT models could be used to design lung cancer screening programs in Taiwan. The methods could be applicable to other cancer models.

Obstructive sleep apnea in young Asian adults with sleep-related complaints

This study aimed to investigate the proportion of young OSA adults with sleep-related complaints in a sleep center, affiliated with a tertiary medical center for over a decade. This study presents a chronicle change in the numbers of young adults receiving polysomnography (PSG) and young patients with OSA from 2000 to 2017. We further analyzed 371 young patients with OSA among 2378 patients receiving PSG in our sleep center from 2016 to 2017 to capture their characteristics. Young adults constituted a substantial and relatively steady portion of examinees of PSG (25.1% ± 2.8%) and confirmed OSA cases (19.8 ± 2.4%) even though the total numbers increased with the years. Young adults with OSA tend to be sleepier, have a greater body mass index, and have a higher percentage of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption. They also complained more about snoring and daytime sleepiness. They had a higher apnea-hypopnea index on average and experienced more hypoxemia during their sleep, both in terms of duration and the extent of desaturation. Even though the prevalence of comorbidities increased with age, hypertension in young male adults carried higher risks for OSA. Young adults with OSA have constituted a relatively constant portion of all confirmed OSA cases across time. The young adults with OSA were heavier, more symptomatic, and with more severe severity.Clinical trial: The Institutional Review Board of Taipei Veterans General Hospital approved the study (VGHIRB No. 2018-10-002CC). The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT03885440.

Clinical Outcomes and Prolonged SARS-CoV-2 Viral Shedding in ICU Patients with Severe COVID-19 Infection and Nosocomial Bacterial Pneumonia: A Retrospective Cohort Study

OBJECTIVES

This study explored the clinical outcomes and association of prolonged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) shedding in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection who developed nosocomial pneumonia.

METHODS

This was a retrospective study conducted in a medical center in Taiwan. From May to September 2021, patients from four intensive care units were enrolled after SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed through quantitative polymerase chain reaction and all cases were compatible with the definitions of severe COVID-19 infection. Baseline characteristics, disease severity, clinical outcomes, and times of viral shedding were recorded.

RESULTS

A total of 72 patients were diagnosed as having severe COVID-19 infection and 30 developed nosocomial pneumonia, comprising hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The patients with severe COVID-19 infection and concomitant HAP/VAP had longer intensive care unit (ICU) stays and fewer ventilator-free days at Day 28. An independent risk factor for nosocomial pneumonia was a greater SOFA score at admission. Furthermore, the patients with severe COVID-19 infection who developed HAP/VAP had a significantly longer duration of SARS-CoV-2 shedding (19.50 days vs. 15.00 days, p = 0.006).

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with severe COVID-19 infection who developed nosocomial pneumonia had longer SARS-CoV-2 shedding days, more complications, and worse outcomes.

Circulating mitochondrial cell-free DNA dynamics in patients with mycobacterial pulmonary infections: Potential for a novel biomarker of disease

Objectives

Human mitochondrial cell-free DNA (Mt-cfDNA) may serve as a useful biomarker for infectious processes. We investigated Mt-cfDNA dynamics in patients with pulmonary mycobacterial infections to determine if this novel biomarker could be used to differentiate disease states and severity.

Methods

Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), and nontuberculous mycobacterial-lung disease (NTM-LD) were enrolled at a tertiary care hospital in Taiwan between June 2018 and August 2021. Human Mt-cfDNA and nuclear-cfDNA (Nu-cfDNA) copy numbers were estimated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Variables associated with PTB and 2-month sputum culture-positivity, indicating poor treatment response, were assessed using logistic regression.

Results

Among 97 patients with PTB, 64 with LTBI, and 51 with NTM-LD, Mt-cfDNA levels were higher in patients with PTB than in LTBI (p=0.001) or NTM-LD (p=0.006). In the Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected population, Mt-cfDNA levels were highest in smear-positive PTB patients, followed by smear-negative PTB (p&lt;0.001), and were lowest in LTBI persons (p=0.009). A Mt-cfDNA, but not Nu-cfDNA, level higher than the median helped differentiate culture-positive PTB from culture-negative PTB and LTBI (adjusted OR 2.430 [95% CI 1.139–5.186], p=0.022) and differentiate PTB from NTM-LD (adjusted OR 4.007 [1.382–12.031], p=0.011). Mt-cfDNA levels decreased after 2 months of treatment in PTB patients (p=0.010). A cutoff Mt-cfDNA level greater than 62.62 x 106 copies/μL-plasma was associated with a 10-fold risk of 2-month culture-positivity (adjusted OR 9.691 [1.046–89.813], p=0.046).

Conclusion

Elevated Mt-cfDNA levels were associated with PTB disease and failed sputum conversion at 2 months in PTB patients, and decreased after treatment.

Generating High-Resolution CT Slices from Two Image Series Using Deep-Learning-Based Resolution Enhancement Methods

Medical image super-resolution (SR) has mainly been developed for a single image in the literature. However, there is a growing demand for high-resolution, thin-slice medical images. We hypothesized that fusing the two planes of a computed tomography (CT) study and applying the SR model to the third plane could yield high-quality thin-slice SR images. From the same CT study, we collected axial planes of 1 mm and 5 mm in thickness and coronal planes of 5 mm in thickness. Four SR algorithms were then used for SR reconstruction. Quantitative measurements were performed for image quality testing. We also tested the effects of different regions of interest (ROIs). Based on quantitative comparisons, the image quality obtained when the SR models were applied to the sagittal plane was better than that when applying the models to the other planes. The results were statistically significant according to the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The overall effect of the enhanced deep residual network (EDSR) model was superior to those of the other three resolution-enhancement methods. A maximal ROI containing minimal blank areas was the most appropriate for quantitative measurements. Fusing two series of thick-slice CT images and applying SR models to the third plane can yield high-resolution thin-slice CT images. EDSR provides superior SR performance across all ROI conditions.
