Abstract Biofilms produced by Candida albicans present a challenge in treatment with antifungal drug. Enhancing the sensitivity to fluconazole (FLC) is a reasonable method for treating FLC-resistant species. Moreover, several lines of evidence have demonstrated that berberine (BBR) can have antimicrobial effects. The aim of this study was to clarify the underlying mechanism of these effects. We conducted a comparative study of the inhibition of FLC-resistant strain growth by FLC treatment alone, BBR treatment alone, and the synergistic effect of combined FLC and BBR treatment. Twenty-four isolated strains showed distinct biofilm formation capabilities. The antifungal effect of combined FLC and BBR treatment in terms of the growth and biofilm formation of Candida albicans species was determined via checkerboard, time-kill, and fluorescence microscopy assays. The synergistic effect of BBR and FLC downregulated the expression of the efflux pump genes CDR1 and MDR, the hyphal gene HWP1, and the adhesion gene ALS3; however, the gene expression of the transcriptional repressor TUP1 was upregulated following treatment with this drug combination. Furthermore, the addition of BBR led to a marked reduction in cell surface hydrophobicity. To identify resistance-related genes and virulence factors through genome-wide sequencing analysis, we investigated the inhibition of related resistance gene expression by the combination of BBR and FLC, as well as the associated signaling pathways and metabolic pathways. The KEGG metabolic map showed that the metabolic genes in this strain are mainly involved in amino acid and carbon metabolism. The metabolic pathway map showed that several ergosterol (ERG) genes were involved in the synthesis of cell membrane sterols, which may be related to drug resistance. In this study, BBR + FLC combination treatment upregulated the expression of the ERG1, ERG3, ERG4, ERG5, ERG24, and ERG25 genes and downregulated the expression of the ERG6 and ERG9 genes compared with fluconazole treatment alone (p

Abstract Background In clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), first-line treatment combines nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA4), yielding long-term remissions but with only a 40% success rate. Our study explored the potential of enhancing ccRCC treatment by concurrently using CXCR2 inhibitors alongside immunotherapies. Methods We analyzed ELR + CXCL levels and their correlation with patient survival during immunotherapy. RCT001, a unique CXCR2 inhibitor, was examined for its mechanism of action, particularly its effects on human primary macrophages. We tested the synergistic impact of RCT001 in combination with immunotherapies in both mouse models of ccRCC and human ccRCC in the presence of human PBMC. Resuts Elevated ELR + CXCL cytokine levels were found to correlate with reduced overall survival during immunotherapy. RCT001, our optimized compound, acted as an inverse agonist, effectively inhibiting angiogenesis and reducing viability of primary ccRCC cells. It redirected M2-like macrophages without affecting M1-like macrophage polarization directed against the tumor. In mouse models, RCT001 enhanced the efficacy of anti-CTLA4 + anti-PD1 by inhibiting tumor-associated M2 macrophages and tumor-associated neutrophils. It also impacted the activation of CD4 T lymphocytes, reducing immune-tolerant lymphocytes while increasing activated natural killer and dendritic cells. Similar effectiveness was observed in human RCC tumors when RCT001 was combined with anti-PD-1 treatment. Conclusions RCT001, by inhibiting CXCR2 through its unique mechanism, effectively suppresses ccRCC cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and M2 macrophage polarization. This optimization potentiates the efficacy of immunotherapy and holds promise for significantly improving the survival prospects of metastatic ccRCC patients.

IntroductionMental health conditions are associated with cognition and physical function in older adults. We examined whether worry and ruminative brooding, key symptoms of certain mental health conditions, are related to subjective and/or objective measures of cognitive and physical (cardiovascular) health.MethodsWe used baseline data from 282 participants from the SCD-Well and Age-Well trials (178 female; agemean = 71.1 years). We measured worry and ruminative brooding using the Penn State Worry Questionnaire and the Ruminative Response Scale-brooding subscale. We assessed subjective physical health using the WHOQOL-Bref physical subscale, and objective physical health via blood pressure and modified versions of the Framingham Risk Score and Charlson Comorbidity Index. With subjective and objective cognition, we utilized the Cognitive Difficulties Scale and a global composite (modified Preclinical Alzheimer’s Cognitive Composite, PACC5, with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV, category fluency, Mattis Dementia Rating Scale-2, and either the California Verbal Learning Test or the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test). We conducted linear regressions, adjusted for education, age, sex and cohort.ResultsWorry and ruminative brooding were negatively associated with subjective physical health (worry: β = −0.245, 95%CI −0.357 to −0.133, p

A apuração dos custos industriais, no caso a alocação dos custos indiretos, requer a escolha de critérios de rateio que podem trazer subjetividade aumentando o risco de arbitrariedade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a efetividade dos roteiros de processos como suporte para o custeio por meio de uma pesquisa ação. A empresa estudada é um laticínio com sede no Estado de São Paulo e instalações fabris no próprio estado e em outros. A pesquisa foi realizada na fábrica instalada no interior de São Paulo, que usa como critério de rateio as horas trabalhadas, calculadas a partir do mapeamento da produtividade de cada atividade fabril. Os achados evidenciaram a complexidade desse sistema de custeio atual, necessitando de capacitação para usuários e investimento para a base de dados. O uso do roteiro de processos apresenta falha no controle de alocação de mão de obra direta, distorcendo os custos, e não está alinhado ao ERP utilizado pela empresa em operações com tempo fixo. Os resultados também mostram oportunidades de melhoria no método de custeio, como a criação de centro de custos específicos para tornar a apuração de custos mais assertiva e otimizar as horas trabalhadas nas atividades de manufaturas com a utilização dos sistemas já implantados. A contribuição prática parte das decisões mais assertivas e eficientes das gestões em relação ao método de custeio utilizado nas companhias. E na questão teórica, as discussões sobre melhorias na gestão de custos e formas de mensuração são cruciais para a evolução do tema.

Abstract Background Pathologic complete response (pCR) following preoperative systemic therapy is associated with improved outcomes after subsequent liver transplant/resection in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the relationship between radiographic and histopathological response remains unclear. Methods We retrospectively examined patients with initially unresectable HCC who received tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) plus anti–programmed death 1 (PD-1) therapy before undergoing liver resection between March 2019 and September 2021 across 7 hospitals in China. Radiographic response was evaluated using mRECIST. A pCR was defined as no viable tumor cells in resected samples. Results We included 35 eligible patients, of whom 15 (42.9%) achieved pCR after systemic therapy. After a median follow-up of 13.2 months, tumors recurred in 8 non-pCR and 1 pCR patient. Before resection, there were 6 complete responses, 24 partial responses, 4 stable disease cases, and 1 progressive disease case, per mRECIST. Predicting pCR by radiographic response yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.727 (95% CI: 0.558–0.902), with an optimal cutoff value of 80% reduction in the enhanced area in MRI (called major radiographic response), which had a 66.7% sensitivity, 85.0% specificity, and a 77.1% diagnostic accuracy. When radiographic response was combined with α-fetoprotein response, the AUC was 0.926 (95% CI: 0.785–0.999); the optimal cutoff value was 0.446, which had a 91.7% sensitivity, 84.6%, specificity, and an 88.0% diagnostic accuracy. Conclusions In patients with unresectable HCC receiving combined TKI/anti–PD 1 therapy, major radiographic response alone or combined with α-fetoprotein response may predict pCR.

With the increasing use of large-screen portable devices and the prevalence of list-based user interfaces, it has become critically important to design list interfaces that are visually appealing and user-friendly across various devices and screen sizes. The rules for adapting list-based user interfaces on large screens warrant investigation. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the responsive list width that can enhance visual search efficiency and improve user experience on portable devices with different widths of screen. Two experiments were conducted, in which we manipulated the width of single-column and parent-child lists on portable devices with medium- (Experiment 1; N = 80) and large-width screens (Experiment 2; N = 41), varying the range of list width from very narrow to very wide. Results show that for the single-column lists on a medium-width screen, users demonstrated the highest level of preference and gave the highest ratings for satisfaction and visual aesthetics when the lists were moderately wide. For the single-column lists on a large-width screen, users preferred both the moderately-narrow and moderately-wide lists. However, for parent-child lists, the results show that both the moderately-wide and very-wide lists were favored on both the medium-width and large-width screens. These findings may be attributed to users’ preference for the appropriate white space on different screens, thereby providing useful guidelines for the responsive design of lists on portable devices.

Abstract Background Olaparib, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, was approved by the European Commission in June 2019, following the results of the SOLO-1/GOG 3004 trial as maintenance monotherapy in adult patients with BRCA-mutated epithelial ovarian cancer. Objective This study aimed to provide a descriptive analysis of the first real-world data from patients with BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer who received olaparib as first-line maintenance monotherapy in the French cohort Temporary Authorisation for Use (Autorisation Temporaire d’Utilisation de cohorte, ATUc) programme from 11 March, 2019 to 16 January, 2020. Methods Eligible patients were aged 18 years and over with confirmed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal or Fallopian tube cancer and a deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCA 1/2 mutation. Patients were in complete or partial clinical response at the end of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Olaparib maintenance therapy was initiated within 8 weeks of the patients’ last dose of chemotherapy. Real-world data were collected through treatment access request forms completed by physicians. Clinical and safety data were collected monthly until the end of the ATUc programme. Results A total of 107 centres in metropolitan France and the French Overseas Departments and Territories requested the inclusion for 238 patients, of whom 194 received maintenance olaparib. In total, 87.6% of the primary tumour locations were ovary, the most common histology was high-grade serous (93.0%) and the most common International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d’Obstétrique) stage was IIIC (56.8%). BRCA testing was performed in routine practice, prior to inclusion into the ATUc programme. All patients had a BRCA mutation: 52.5% had a somatic mutation, 38.4% had a germinal mutation and 9.1% had germinal and somatic mutations. Twenty-four (12%) patients experienced serious adverse drug reactions at the last safety follow-up (17 February, 2020). The most common were anaemia (12 [6%] patients), neutropenia (3 [2%] patients) and thrombocytopenia (3 [2%] patients). Conclusions The rapid enrolment into the ATUc programme highlighted the strong unmet need for patients with ovarian cancer and a BRCA mutation in first-line maintenance treatment. Olaparib was well tolerated and no new safety signals were observed in this real-world patient population.

Science - Abstract
Oncolytic viruses are able to target tumours and thought to induce apoptosis while remodelling the tumour immune microenvironment. Here authors show in an oncolytic parapoxvirus ovis model that pyroptosis, a highly immunogenic Gasdermin-E-dependent cell death mechanism, is the dominant cell death pathway during virotherapy.

Abstract Background Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) is one of the most common diseases in pregnancy and is mainly caused by immune disorders. The foetus is similar to semiallogeneic maternal tissue, so the balance of immune tolerance must be dynamically maintained during pregnancy. Decidual natural killer (dNK) cells primarily mediate the immune tolerance microenvironment at the maternal–fetal interface. By using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and high-throughput transcriptome sequencing analysis, we explored the characteristic distribution of dNK cells in URSA patients. Methods Control maternal–fetal interface tissue (from normal pregnant women, n = 3) and case maternal–fetal interface tissue (from patients with URSA, n = 3) samples were analysed by scRNA-seq and high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. Results By scRNA-seq, we demonstrated the maturation process of the transition of dNK cells from cytotoxic characteristics to immune tolerance in transcriptome analysis. Moreover, compared with normal pregnant women, serious disturbances in the polarization process of dNK cells were found in URSA. Simultaneously, the transcriptional level of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in URSA patients showed a significant decrease. The dNK cells interacted with extravillous trophoblasts to achieve immune-tolerant polarization. Conclusions Insufficient expression of KIRs during dNK cell differentiation might be a key reason why polarized dNK cells still had high cytotoxic reactivity in URSA patients. Abnormal expression of ECM may affect the interaction of dNK cells with EVTs, making dNK cells immature. Both resulted in maternal immune intolerance to the foetus during pregnancy.

Contagious ecthyma (Orf), an acute and highly contagious zoonosis, is prevalent worldwide. Orf is caused by Orf virus (ORFV), which mainly infects sheep/goats and humans. Therefore, effective and safe vaccination strategies for Orf prevention are needed. Although immunization with single-type Orf vaccines has been tested, heterologous prime-boost strategies still need to be studied. In the present study, ORFV B2L and F1L were selected as immunogens, based on which DNA, subunit and adenovirus vaccine candidates were generated. Of note, heterologous immunization strategies using DNA prime-protein boost and DNA prime-adenovirus boost in mice were performed, with single-type vaccines as controls. We have found that the DNA prime-protein boost strategy induces stronger humoral and cellular immune responses than DNA prime-adenovirus boost strategy in mice, which was confirmed by the changes in specific antibodies, lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine expression. Importantly, this observation was also confirmed when these heterologous immunization strategies were performed in sheep. In summary, by comparing the two immune strategies, we found that DNA prime-protein boost strategy can induce a better immune response, which provides a new attempt for exploring Orf immunization strategy.

BackgroundEvidence regarding the analgesic effect of distraction through immersion in virtual reality (VR) for care-induced pain has been documented in several phase 2 trials, but comparison with standard treatments in large, randomized studies is needed. ObjectiveIn this open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase 3 trial, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of a novel VR therapy solution for distraction in the context of bone marrow biopsy. MethodsBliss is a VR software with 4 imaginary interactive environments in 3 dimensions with binaural sound (head-mounted display). Efficacy regarding pain intensity was evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS; score from 0 to 10) immediately after the biopsy. Secondary end points were anxiety and tolerance. Modified intention-to-treat analysis was performed. ResultsOverall, 126 patients with previously documented untreated or suspected malignant hemopathy between September 6, 2018, and May 18, 2020, were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive pain prevention with a mixture of nitrous oxide/oxygen (MEOPA; n=63) or VR (n=63) before and during the bone marrow biopsy. We excluded 8 patients from the final analysis (3 in the MEOPA group and 5 in the VR group). All patients received local anesthesia (lidocaine) before biopsy. Follow-up was limited to 1 month after the biopsy. Participants’ median age was 65.5 (range 18-87) years, and 54.2% (64/118) of patients were male. The average pain intensity was 3.5 (SD 2.6, 95% CI –1.6 to 8.6) for the MEOPA group and 3.0 (SD 2.4, 95% CI –1.7 to 7.7) for the VR group, without any significant differences in age, sex, center, and hemopathy (P=.26). Concerning anxiety, 67.5% (79/117; fear of pain questionnaire) of the patients were afraid before the biopsy, and anxiety scores were moderate to very high in 26.3% (30/114; revised Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaire) of the patients before the biopsy and 9.0% (10/114) after the biopsy for all patients, without a significant difference between the 2 groups (P=.83). Immersion in VR was well tolerated by the majority (54/57, 95%) of patients in the VR group. ConclusionsThe intensity of pain did not significantly differ between both arms. VR was well tolerated, and the satisfaction of patients, nurses, and physicians was very high. VR could be an alternative treatment in case of contraindication or intolerance to MEOPA.

For improving the corrosion resistance of carbon steel in the saline medium with high temperature and CO2-containing environment, tetrabutyl titanate was used to crosslink with urushiol under the compatibilization condition of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to form a urushiol titanium coating, which was coated on carbon steel substrate surface for preparing high temperature resistant coating. Subsequently, thermogravimetry (TG) was employed to determine the thermal-resistant of urushiol titanium coating. The morphological and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted to evaluate the protective capacity of the coating on carbon steel in simulated saline water by immersion test under high temperature, high pressure and CO2-containing medium. Moreover, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was utilized to evaluate the impedance change of coating in corrosive medium before and after immersion. Results showed that the thermal decomposition temperature of urushiol titanium coating achieved at 275.19 ℃. After immersed in simulated saline solution at 140 ℃ and 155 ℃ with CO2 pressure of 2 MPa for 30 d, the low-frequency impedance values of the coating could reach the respective magnitude of 1011 Ω·cm2 and 1010 Ω·cm2. Moreover, the valence bond characteristics of the coating did not change, and the surface morphology of coating was uniform and closely combined with the substrate, which indicated that the coating showed excellent protective performance against high temperature.

Abstract The MMX infrared spectrometer (MIRS) is an imaging spectrometer onboard MMX JAXA mission. MMX (Martian Moon eXploration) is scheduled to be launched in 2024 with sample return to Earth in 2029. MIRS is built at LESIA-Paris Observatory in collaboration with four other French laboratories, collaboration and financial support of CNES and close collaboration with JAXA and MELCO. The instrument is designed to fully accomplish MMX’s scientific and measurement objectives. MIRS will remotely provide near-infrared spectral maps of Phobos and Deimos containing compositional diagnostic spectral features that will be used to analyze the surface composition and to support the sampling site selection. MIRS will also study Mars atmosphere, in particular spatial and temporal changes such as clouds, dust and water vapor. Graphical Abstract

Currently, it is believed that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an airborne virus, and virus-containing aerosol particles have been found concurrent with the onset of COVID-19, which may contribute to the noncontact transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Exploring agents to block SARS-CoV-2 transmission is of great importance to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we found that inactivated Parapoxvirus ovis (iORFV), a kind of immunomodulator, could compress the proportion of small particle aerosols exhaled by Syrian golden hamsters. Notably, the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 RNA-containing aerosol particles was significantly reduced by iORFV in the early stages after viral inoculation. Importantly, smaller aerosol particles (

Neoplasms. Tumors. Oncology. Including cancer and carcinogens ,RC254-282 - Abstract
Introduction: Lenvatinib plus an anti–PD-1 antibody has shown promising anti-tumor effects in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but with clinical benefit limited to a subset of patients. We developed and validated a radiomic-based model to predict objective response to this combination therapy in advanced HCC patients. Methods: Patients (N = 170) who received first-line combination therapy with lenvatinib plus an anti–PD-1 antibody were retrospectively enrolled from 9 Chinese centers; 124 and 46 into the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Radiomic features were extracted from pretreatment contrast-enhanced MRI. After feature selection, clinicopathologic, radiomic, and clinicopathologic-radiomic models were built using a neural network. The performance of models, incremental predictive value of radiomic features compared with clinicopathologic features and relationship between radiomic features and survivals were assessed. Results: The clinicopathologic model modestly predicted objective response with an AUC of 0.748 (95% CI: 0.656–0.840) and 0.702 (95% CI: 0.547–0.884) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The radiomic model predicted response with an AUC of 0.886 (95% CI: 0.815–0.957) and 0.820 (95% CI: 0.648–0.984), respectively, with good calibration and clinical utility. The incremental predictive value of radiomic features to clinicopathologic features was confirmed with a net reclassification index of 47.9% (P < 0.001) and 41.5% (P = 0.025) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Furthermore, radiomic features were associated with overall survival and progression-free survival both in the training and validation cohorts, but modified albumin-bilirubin grade and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were not. Conclusion: Radiomic features extracted from pretreatment MRI can predict individualized objective response to combination therapy with lenvatinib plus an anti–PD-1 antibody in patients with unresectable or advanced HCC, and provide incremental predictive value over clinicopathologic features, and are associated with overall survival and progression-free survival after initiation of this combination regimen.

Abstract With the approval of new therapies targeting the PI3K pathway, the detection of PIK3CA mutations has become a key factor in treatment management for HR+/HER2− metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We developed multiplex digital PCR (dPCR) assays to detect and quantify PIK3CA mutations. A first screening assay allows the detection of 21 mutations, with a drop-off system targeting the 542–546 hotspot mutations combined with the simultaneous detection of N345K, C420R, H1047L and H1047R mutations. In the case of a positive result, a sequential strategy based on other assays that we have developped allows for precise mutation identification. Clinical validity was determined by analyzing plasma circulating free DNA (cfDNA) from 213 HR+/HER2− MBC samples, as well as DNA extracted from 97 available matched tumors from 89 patients. Our assays have shown reliable specificity, accuracy and reproducibility, with limits of blank of three and four droplets for the screening assay. Sixty-eight patients (32%) had at least one PIK3CA mutation detectable in their plasma, and we obtained 83.1% agreement between the cfDNA analysis and the corresponding tumors. The high sensitivity and robustness of these new dPCR assays make them well-suited for rapid and cost-effective detection of PIK3CA mutations in the plasma of MBC patients.

Objectives: Isoniazid-monoresistant tuberculosis (HR-TB) is the most prevalent form of drug-resistant TB worldwide and in France and is associated with poorer treatment outcomes compared with drug-susceptible TB (DS-TB). The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of HR-TB patients in France and to compare outcomes and safety of treatment for HR-TB and DS-TB. Methods: We performed a case-control multicenter study to identify risk factors associated with HR-TB and compare treatment outcomes and safety between HR-TB patients and DS-TB patients. Results: Characteristics of 99 HR-TB patients diagnosed and treated in the university hospitals of Paris, Lille, Caen and Strasbourg were compared with 99 DS-TB patients. Female sex (OR = 2.2; 1.0–4.7), birth in the West-Pacific World Health Organization region (OR = 4.6; 1.1–18.7) and resistance to streptomycin (OR = 77.5; 10.1–594.4) were found to be independently associated with HR-TB. Rates of treatment success did not differ significantly between HR-TB and DS-TB. Conclusions: Factors associated with HR-TB are not significant enough to efficiently screen TB patients at risk of HR-TB. The systematic implementation of rapid molecular testing on clinical samples remains the only effective way to make the early diagnosis of HR-TB and adapt treatment.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate whether there are sex differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with primary thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (ptAPS).MethodsFrom January 2013 to July 2021, 154 consecutive patients diagnosed with ptAPS were prospectively recruited. Multivariable Cox regression was used to evaluate the association between gender and the composite endpoint including thromboembolic recurrence or all-cause death during follow-up.ResultsTotally, 80 (52%) male and 74 (48%) female patients with ptAPS were included, and men had a higher percentage of smokers/ex-smokers [50 (62%) vs. 6 (8%), p < 0.001] and hyperhomocysteinemia [26 (32%) vs. 9 (12%), p = 0.003]. The baseline thromboembolic events were similar in two genders, except for limb ischemia [15 (19%) in men vs. 1 (1%) in women, p < 0.001]. During a median follow-up of 42 months, the composite endpoint occurred in 30 (38%) male and 15 (20%) female patients (p = 0.019). Male gender [HR 2.499, 95% CI (1.316, 4.743), p = 0.005] and warfarin administration [HR 0.482, 95% CI (0.257, 0.905), p = 0.023] remained independent risk factors for the composite endpoint. Male gender [HR 3.699, 95% CI (1.699, 8.246), p = 0.001] and isolated lupus anticoagulant positivity [HR 2.236, 95% CI (1.039, 4.811), p = 0.040] were independent risk factors for thromboembolic recurrence.ConclusionThere are sex disparities in the clinical characteristics in patients with ptAPS and the male gender is an independent risk factor for the poor prognosis. Male patients with isolated lupus anticoagulant (LA) positivity have the highest risk of thromboembolic recurrence.

Background Sacubitril/valsartan (S/V) demonstrated significant effects in improving left ventricular performance and remodeling in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, its effects on the right ventricle remain unclear. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to assess the impact of S/V on right ventricular function and pulmonary hypertension. Methods and Results We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from January 2010 to April 2021 for studies reporting right ventricular and pulmonary pressure indexes following S/V treatment. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle‐Ottawa scale. Variables were pooled using a random‐effects model to estimate weighted mean differences with 95% CIs. We identified 10 eligible studies comprising 875 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (mean age, 62.2 years; 74.0% men), all of which were observational. Significant improvements on right ventricular function and pulmonary hypertension after S/V initiation were observed, including tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (weighted mean difference, 1.26 mm; 95% CI, 0.33–2.18 mm; P=0.008), tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity (weighted mean difference, 0.85 cm/s; 95% CI, 0.25–1.45 cm/s; P=0.005), and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (weighted mean difference, 7.21 mm Hg; 95% CI, 5.38–9.03 mm Hg; P

Chinese Marselan grapes are believed to possess the potential to become a characteristic regional variety, whose quality is internationally recognized. The fermentation-related mycobiota from six climatically diverse Marselan-producing regions in China were analyzed via high-throughput sequencing (HTS), while the influence of environmental factors was evaluated as well. The results implied that the phyla Ascomycota and genus Aureobasidium dominated the fungal communities in 166 Marselan must and fermented samples. Significant differences were detected in the fungal microbiota from the regions, as well as the wineries, while these discrepancies decreased as the fermentation progressed. Moreover, the discrepancy in fungal communities between the wineries exceeded the variation involving the regions. Geoclimatic elements (Gc) and physicochemical indexes (Pi) exerted a significant effect on the fungal must consortium, explaining 58.17% of the taxonomic information. Furthermore, a correlation was proposed between the spontaneous fermentation performance and their association with fungal taxonomic composition. In addition to depicting a fundamental landscape of fungal biogeography patterns across Chinese main wine-producing regions, we firstly proposed the correlation between the must polyphenol content and fungal microbiota, which may provide a new strategy for harnessing autochthonous “microbial terroir.”

Telomere integrity is essential to maintain genome stability, and telomeric dysfunctions are associated with cancer and aging pathologies. In human, the shelterin complex binds TTAGGG DNA repeats and provides capping to chromosome ends. Within shelterin, RAP1 is recruited through its interaction with TRF2, and TRF2 is required for telomere protection through a network of nucleic acid and protein interactions. RAP1 is one of the most conserved shelterin proteins although one unresolved question is how its interaction may influence TRF2 properties and regulate its capacity to bind multiple proteins. Through a combination of biochemical, biophysical and structural approaches, we unveiled a unique mode of assembly between RAP1 and TRF2. The complete interaction scheme between the full-length proteins involves a complex biphasic interaction of RAP1 that directly affects the binding properties of the assembly. These results reveal how a non-DNA binding protein can influence the properties of a DNA-binding partner by mutual conformational adjustments.

The applications of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) gyros in inertial navigation system is gradually increasing. However, the random drift of gyro deteriorates the system performance which restricting the applications of high precision. We propose a bias drift compensation model based on two-fold Interpolated Complementary Ensemble Local Mean Decomposition (ICELMD) and autoregressive moving average-Kalman filtering (ARMA-KF). We modify CELMD into ICELMD, which is less complicated and overcomes the endpoint effect. Further, the ICELMD is combined with ARMA-KF to separate and simplify the preprocessed signal, resulting improved denoising performance. In the model, the abnormal noise is removed in preprocess by 2σ criterion with ICELMD. Then, continuous mean square error (CMSE) and Permutation Entropy (PE) are both applied to categorize the preprocessed signal into noise, mixed and useful components. After abandon the noise components and denoise the mixed components by ARMA-KF, we rebuild the noise suppression signal of MEMS gyro. Experiments are carried out to validate the proposed algorithm. The angle random walk of gyro decreases from 2.4156∘/h to 0.0487∘/h, the zero bias instability lowered from 0.3753∘/h to 0.0509∘/h. Further, the standard deviation and the variance are greatly reduced, indicating that the proposed method has better suppression effect, stability and adaptability.

Background: Drug resistance and the lack of molecular therapeutic target are the main challenges in the management of osteosarcomas (OSs). Identification of novel genetic alteration(s) related with OS recurrence and chemotherapeutic resistance would be of scientific and clinical significance. Methods: To identify potential genetic alterations related with OS recurrence and chemotherapeutic resistance, the biopsies of a 20-year-old male osteosarcoma patient were collected at primary site (p-OS) and from its metastatic tumor (m-OS) formed after 5 months of adjuvant chemotherapy. Both OS specimens were subjected to cancer-targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) and their cell suspensions were cultured under three-dimensional condition to establish spheroid therapeutic model. Transcript-oriented Sanger sequencing for GPC3, the detected mutated gene, was performed on RNA samples of p-OS and m-OS tissues and spheroids. The effects of anti-GPC3 antibody and its combination with cisplatin on m-OS spheroids were elucidated. Results: NGS revealed 4 mutations (GPC3, SOX10, MDM4 and MAPK8) and 6 amplifications (MDM2, CDK4, CCND3, RUNX2, GLI1 and FRS2) in p-OS, and 3 mutations (GPC3, SOX10 and EGF) and 10 amplifications (CDK4, CCND3, MDM2, RUNX2, GLI1, FRS2, CARD11, RAC1, SLC16A7 and PMS2) in m-OS. Among those alterations, the mutation abundance of GPC3 was the highest (56.49%) in p-OS and showed 1.54 times increase in m-OS. GPC3 transcript-oriented Sanger sequencing confirmed the mutation at 1046 in Exon 4, and immunohistochemical staining showed increased GPC3 production in m-OS tissues and its spheroids. EdU cell proliferation and Calcein/PI cell viability assays revealed that of the anti-OS first line drugs (doxorubicin, cisplatin, methotrexate, ifosfamide and carboplatin), 10 μM carboplatin exerted the best inhibitory effects on the p-OS but not the m-OS spheroids. 2 μg/mL anti-GPC3 antibody effectively committed m-OS spheroids to death by itself (76.43%) or in combination with cisplatin (92.93%). Conclusion: This study demonstrates increased abundance and up-regulated expression of mutant GPC3 in metastatic osteosarcoma and its spheroids with multidrug resistance. As GPC3-targeting therapy has been used to treat hepatocellular carcinomas and it is also effective to OS PDSs, GPC3 would be a novel prognostic parameter and therapeutic target of osteosarcomas.

Orf virus ,DNA prime-protein boost immunization ,immune responses ,Medicine - Abstract
Contagious ecthyma (Orf) is a highly contagious disease caused by Orf virus (ORFV) infection. Orf is prevalent all over the world and, not only affects the healthy development of sheep husbandry, but also threatens human health. However, there are no safe and effective vaccines or drugs for the prevention and treatment of Orf at present. In this study, we constructed a DNA plasmid expressing ORFV B2L and F1L genes as a DNA vaccine candidate, with purified B2L full-length protein and F1L truncated protein as subunit vaccine candidates. BALB/c mice were immunized with the DNA vaccine, subunit vaccine, as well as DNA prime-protein boost strategies. The results showed that compared with the DNA vaccine and subunit vaccine alone, the DNA prime-protein boost immunization group had a higher level of specific antibodies, stronger lymphocyte proliferation, and higher expression of cytokines such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, and TNF-α, which are considered to cause a Th1/Th2 mixed cytokine response. Our results demonstrated that the DNA prime-protein boost immunization strategy induced stronger humoral and cellular immune responses, which have potential advantages in preventing ORFV infection.

Background: As the population ages, maintaining mental health and well-being of older adults is a public health priority. Beyond objective measures of health, self-perceived quality of life (QoL) is a good indicator of successful aging. In older adults, it has been shown that QoL is related to structural brain changes. However, QoL is a multi-faceted concept and little is known about the specific relationship of each QoL domain to brain structure, nor about the links with other aspects of brain integrity, including white matter microstructure, brain perfusion and amyloid deposition, which are particularly relevant in aging. Therefore, we aimed to better characterize the brain biomarkers associated with each QoL domain using a comprehensive multimodal neuroimaging approach in older adults. Methods: One hundred and thirty-five cognitively unimpaired older adults (mean age ± SD: 69.4 ± 3.8 y) underwent structural and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, together with early and late florbetapir positron emission tomography scans. QoL was assessed using the brief version of the World Health Organization's QoL instrument, which allows measuring four distinct domains of QoL: self-perceived physical health, psychological health, social relationships and environment. Multiple regression analyses were carried out to identify the independent global neuroimaging predictor(s) of each QoL domain, and voxel-wise analyses were then conducted with the significant predictor(s) to highlight the brain regions involved. Age, sex, education and the other QoL domains were entered as covariates in these analyses. Finally, forward stepwise multiple regressions were conducted to determine the specific items of the relevant QoL domain(s) that contributed the most to these brain associations. Results: Only physical health QoL was associated with global neuroimaging values, specifically gray matter volume and white matter mean kurtosis, with higher physical health QoL being associated with greater brain integrity. These relationships were still significant after correction for objective physical health and physical activity measures. No association was found with global brain perfusion or global amyloid deposition. Voxel-wise analyses revealed that the relationships with physical health QoL concerned the anterior insula and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, and the corpus callosum, corona radiata, inferior frontal white matter and cingulum. Self-perceived daily living activities and self-perceived pain and discomfort were the items that contributed the most to these associations with gray matter volume and white matter mean kurtosis, respectively. Conclusions: Better self-perceived physical health, encompassing daily living activities and pain and discomfort, was the only QoL domain related to brain structural integrity including higher global gray matter volume and global white matter microstructural integrity in cognitively unimpaired older adults. The relationships involved brain structures belonging to the salience network, the pain pathway and the empathy network. While previous studies showed a link between objective measures of physical health, our findings specifically highlight the relevance of monitoring and promoting self-perceived physical health in the older population. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess the direction and causality of the relationships between QoL and brain integrity.

Philosophy (General) ,B1-5802 - Abstract
This paper’s main goal is to assess the ambitions of behavioral economics, especially the nature of its results. This new branch of knowledge is often presented as a new paradigm, but it is easy to show that it can’t break with away from the interpretative stance, which is traditional among social scientists. Accordingly, it is a mistake to think that experimentation can substitute for understanding, and a historical perspective will help us to understand why.

The impact of a mesospheric temperature inversion on the vertical propagation of gravity waves has been investigated using OH airglow images and ground-based Rayleigh lidar measurements carried out in December 2017 at the Haute-Provence Observatory (OHP, France, 44N). These measurements provide complementary information that allows the vertical propagation of gravity waves to be followed. An intense mesospheric inversion layer (MIL) observed near 60 km of altitude with the lidar disappeared in the middle of the night, offering a unique opportunity to evaluate its impact on gravity wave (GW) propagation observed above the inversion with airglow cameras. With these two instruments, a wave with a 150 min period was observed and was also identified in meteorological analyses. The gravity waves’ potential energy vertical profile clearly shows the GW energy lost below the inversion altitude and a large increase of gravity wave energy above the inversion in OH airglow images with waves exhibiting higher frequency. MILs are known to cause instabilities at its top part, and this is probably the reason for the enhanced gravity waves observed above.

Abstract Background Although the genetic spectrum of human colorectal cancer (CRC) is mainly characterized by APC, KRAS and TP53 mutations, driver genes in tumor initiation have not been conclusively demonstrated. In this study, we aimed to identify novel markers for CRC. Methods We performed exome analysis of sporadic colorectal cancer (sCRC) coding regions to screen loss of function (LoF) mutation genes, and carried out systems-level approaches to confirm top rank gene in this study. Results We identified loss of BMP5 is an early event in CRC. Deep sequencing identified BMP5 was mutated in 7.7% (8/104) of sCRC samples, with 37.5% truncating mutation frequency. Notably, BMP5 negative expression and its prognostic value is uniquely significant in sCRC but not in other tumor types. Furthermore, BMP5 expression was positively correlated with E-cadherin in CRC patients and its dysregulation play a vital role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), thus triggering tumor initiation and development. RNA sequencing identified, independent of BMP/Smads pathway, BMP5 signaled though Jak-Stat pathways to inhibit the activation of oncogene EPSTI1. Conclusions Our result support a novel concept that the importance of BMP5 in sCRC. The tumor suppressor role of BMP5 highlights its crucial role in CRC initiation and development.

AIM: To evaluate surgical outcomes of modified Z-epicanthoplasty with blepharoplasty that we previously reported from the patient’s perspective using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient satisfaction scores. METHODS: A total of patients (n=180) who underwent the surgery between January 2013 and June 2016 were randomly selected. Standardized patient satisfaction forms (total score, 40) and validated PROMs questionnaires (total score, 12) were sent to patients for completion. PROMs assesses the severity of scarring, pain and asymmetry, as well as functional and appearance issues. RESULTS: All patients were female, ranging from 18 to 35 years old (mean=24). The response rate was 73.3% (n=132). The majority of patients reported good or excellent outcomes based on PROM analysis. Patients reported minimum or non-visible scarring at both the double eyelid surgical scar (85.6%) and the inner canthus (80.3%). Issues concerning function and appearance were minimal as 80.3% reported satisfaction with both domains. Notably, the majority of patients reported either a high or very high satisfaction rate to yield a mean score of 104 out of 120 (P

Background: The open-label, randomised Phase 2 AVATAXHER study (NCT01142778) demonstrated that early PET assessment identified HER2-positive breast cancer patients who responded poorly to neoadjuvant docetaxel plus trastuzumab. Adding neoadjuvant bevacizumab for PET-predicted poor-responders improved pathological complete response (pCR) rates (43.8% vs 24.0%). We investigated long-term study outcomes. Methods: Patients were treated in three groups. All patients initially received two cycles of standard neoadjuvant therapy with [¹⁸F]-FDG PET conducted before each cycle. Those with ≥70% change in the maximum standardised uptake value (∆SUVmax) received four further cycles of standard neoadjuvant therapy (PET responders). PET-predicted poor-responders (∆SUVmax

Background: Treatment of major depression disorder with Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as citalopram (CTM), during pregnancy effects on the neurological trajectory of the offspring and induces enduring consequences, notably emotional and cognitive impairment. The associations between prenatal exposure to SSRIs and neurological underpinnings of these atypical behaviors in offspring are contentious and poorly understood. Methods: We examined modifications in physiological, morphological, and biochemical characteristics in male and female offspring of C57BL/6 exposed to CTM during the third trimester of gestation. We utilized different behavior procedures to observe depression and anxiety-like behavior in 1~2 month old CTM-exposed mouse offspring. We employed Golgi-Cox staining to examine the neuronal structure of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in CTM-exposed mice following protein expression levels by utilizing biochemical techniques. Results: Our results indicate an impaired behavior such as anxiety and altered locomotion along with the substantial reduction in dendritic length and the number of dendritic branches in CTM-exposed mice. We observed differentially increase c-Fos expression in the mPFC following altered protein expression levels relative to controls. Conclusions: Our finding supports the function of CTM as a prenatal modulator of susceptibility to depressive-like behavior in offspring. We indicate that prenatal CTM exposure elicits a negative impact on the central nervous system, especially those regions involved in cognition and drug reinforcement. Furthermore, genetic, chemo-genetic, and optogenetic methods should be used to explain the function of SSRIs such as CTM during pregnancy in the regulation of mood and emotion-related behaviors in children.
