    Abstract: Cold atmospheric plasma, including plasma jet and surface plasma, can promote the apoptosis of cancer cells without causing significant damage to surrounding normal cells, which was hopeful to be applied to the clinical cancer therapy. However, experimental plasma devices used directly to clinical experiments has challenges in technology and methods, especially the difference in killing tumor cells efficiency of these two common plasma sources. Therefore, it is great necessity to explore the differences in treating tumors between different plasma sources. This paper achieved good killing efficiency by using two kinds of cold atmospheric plasma generating devices, namely plasma jet and surface plasma treatment along acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The results showed that the He plasma jet kills leukemia cells more efficiently than surface plasma with the same voltage and frequency and the same time. By GC-TOFMS and metabolomics analysis, this paper compared the differential metabolites of leukemia cells treated by two plasma devices and the key metabolic pathways closely related to differential metabolites. Simultaneously, we found alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism was most correlated with a key differential metabolite, glutamine. It was found that the glutaminase activity of He plasma jet group was lower than that of surface plasma group, which might be a reason for He plasma jet group to kill tumor cells better. It was also worth noting that relative quantity of glucose metabolites of plasma jet treatment group was lower than that of surface plasma treatment group. This study provides the basis for clinical trials for future.

    Abstract: Immunogenic cell death (ICD) plays a vital role in tumor progression and immune response. However, the integrative role of ICD-related genes and subtypes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) in prostate cancer (PCa) remains unknown. Materials and methods The sample data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) prostate cancer-related databases. We first divided the subtypes based on ICD genes from 901 PCa patients and then identified the prognosis- related genes (PRGs) between different ICD subtypes. Subsequently, all the patients were randomly split into the training and test groups. We developed a risk signature in the training set by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)–Cox regression. Following this, we verified this prognostic signature in both the training test and external test sets. The relationships between the different subgroups and clinical pathological characteristics, immune infiltration characteristics, and mutation status of the TME were examined. Finally, the artificial neural network (ANN) and fundamental experiment study were constructed to verify the accuracy of the prognostic signature. Results We identified two ICD clusters with immunological features and three gene clusters composed of PRGs. Additionally, we demonstrated that the risk signature can be used to evaluate tumor immune cell infiltration, prognostic status, and an immune checkpoint inhibitor. The low-risk group, which has a high overlap with group C of the gene cluster, is characterized by high ICD levels, immunocompetence, and favorable survival probability. Furthermore, the tumor progression genes selected by the ANN also exhibit potential associations with risk signature genes. Conclusion This study identified individuals with high ICD levels in prostate cancer who may have more abundant immune infiltration and revealed the potential effects of risk signature on the TME, immune checkpoint inhibitor, and prognosis of PCa.

    Abstract: Introduction: This study aimed to identify factors associated with individual emergency preparedness behaviors which play an important role in effective emergency response. Methods: Data were drawn from a cross-sectional survey conducted in China's Heilongjiang, Guangdong and Sichuan provinces in 2017. Questionnaires were administered through face-to-face interviews, and 2,506 were valid for data analyses. A structural equation model was established to test the direct and indirect effects of the relevant factors on individual emergency preparedness behaviors. Results: Low levels of emergency preparedness were found: 28% of respondents reported being fully/partly prepared. The attitudes of the respondents toward emergency preparedness had the strongest association with emergency preparedness behaviors, with a total effect of 0.483. This was followed by self-efficacy (0.305) and training/exercise (0.295). Risk perception had the weakest effect (0.045) on emergency preparedness behaviors. Discussion: Improving attitudes of the public as well as their ability to prepare for emergency events is important for effective emergency management.

    Abstract: Optimal radiation target volumes for breast cancer patients with their first isolated chest wall recurrence (ICWR) after mastectomy are controversial. We aimed to analyze the regional failure patterns and to investigate the role of prophylactic regional nodal irradiation (RNI) for ICWR. Materials and Methods Altogether 205 patients with ICWR after mastectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Post-recurrence progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and the differences were compared with Log-rank test. Competing risk model was used to estimate the subsequent regional recurrence (sRR) and locoregional recurrence (sLRR) rates, and the differences were compared with Gray test. Results The 5-year sRR rate was 25.2% with median follow-up of 88.6 months. Of the 52 patients with sRR, 30 (57.7%) recurred in the axilla, 29 (55.8%) in supraclavicular fossa (SC), and five (9.6%) in internal mammary nodes. Surgery plus radiotherapy was independently associated with better sLRR and PFS rates (p & lt;0.001). The ICWR interval of ≤ 4 years was associated with unfavorable sRR (p=0.062), sLRR (p=0.014), PFS (p=0.001), and OS (p=0.005). Among the 157 patients who received radiotherapy after ICWR, chest wall plus RNI significantly improved PFS (p=0.004) and OS (p=0.021) compared with chest wall irradiation alone. In the 166 patients whose ICWR interval was ≤ 4 years, chest wall plus RNI provided the best PFS (p & lt;0.001) and OS (p=0.022) compared with chest wall irradiation alone or no radiotherapy. Conclusion Patients with ICWR have a high-risk of sRR in SC and axilla. Chest wall plus RNI is recommended.

    Abstract: We investigated the locoregional effect of trastuzumab, and determined whether patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-positive breast cancer (BC) treated with trastuzumab could achieve comparable efficacy to that of patients with HER2-negative BC. Materials and Methods This was post hoc analyses of data of 793 BC patients from a randomized controlled trial comparing post-mastectomy hypofractionated radiotherapy with conventional fractionated radiotherapy. Survival rates were analyzed by the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Results Patients were classified into three groups: HER2-negative (HER2 − ; n = 547), HER2-positve with trastuzumab (HER2 + + T; n = 136), and HER2-positive without trastuzumab (HER2 + − T; n = 110). The HER2 + + T group had significantly lower locoregional recurrence (LRR, 6.0% vs. 13.9%), distant metastasis (DM, 17.4% vs. 33.8%) and higher disease-free survival (DFS, 81.2% vs. 61.9%) at 5 years than that of the HER2 + − T group ( P & lt;.05). The HER2 − group had significantly lower LRR (6.8% vs. 13.9%), DM (22.4% vs. 33.8%) and higher DFS (76.1% vs. 61.9%) at 5 years than that of the HER2 + − T group ( P & lt;.05). The difference in LRR, DM and DFS at 5 years was not significant between the HER2 + + T group and HER2 − group ( P & gt;.05). Different annual LRR patterns was found among groups according to HR status. Conclusion Trastuzumab reduces LRR in patients with locally advanced HER2-positive BC who have received post-mastectomy radiotherapy. It provides comparable DFS to that with patients with HER2-negative BC.

    Abstract: T-cell reduction is an important characteristic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and its immunopathology is a subject of debate. It may be due to the direct effect of the virus on T-cell exhaustion or indirectly due to T cells redistributing to the lungs. HIV/AIDS naturally served as a T-cell exhaustion disease model for recognizing how the immune system works in the course of COVID-19. In this study, we collected the clinical charts, T-lymphocyte analysis, and chest CT of HIV patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection who were admitted to Jin Yin-tan Hospital (Wuhan, China). The median age of the 21 patients was 47 years [interquartile range (IQR) = 40–50 years] and the median CD4 T-cell count was 183 cells/μl (IQR = 96–289 cells/μl). Eleven HIV patients were in the non-AIDS stage and 10 were in the AIDS stage. Nine patients received antiretroviral treatment (ART) and 12 patients did not receive any treatment. Compared to the reported mortality rate (nearly 4%–10%) and severity rate (up to 20%–40%) among COVID-19 patients in hospital, a benign duration with 0% severity and mortality rates was shown by 21 HIV/AIDS patients. The severity rates of COVID-19 were comparable between non-AIDS (median CD4 = 287 cells/μl) and AIDS (median CD4 = 97 cells/μl) patients, despite some of the AIDS patients having baseline lung injury stimulated by HIV: 7 patients (33%) were mild (five in the non-AIDS group and two in the AIDS group) and 14 patients (67%) were moderate (six in the non-AIDS group and eight in the AIDS group). More importantly, we found that a reduction in T-cell number positively correlates with the serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), which is contrary to the reported findings on the immune response of COVID-19 patients (lower CD4 T-cell counts with higher levels of IL-6 and CRP). In HIV/AIDS, a compromised immune system with lower CD4 T-cell counts might waive the clinical symptoms and inflammatory responses, which suggests lymphocyte redistribution as an immunopathology leading to lymphopenia in COVID-19.

    Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of regional nodal irradiation (RNI) in patients with T1-2N1M0 breast cancer and to identify the subgroup that could benefit from RNI. Methods and materials A total of 4,243 women with pT1-2N1M0 breast cancer treated at two institutions in China were retrospectively reviewed. Survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. The association of risk factors with survival outcomes was evaluated using multivariable proportional hazards regression. Results A total of 932 patients (22.0%) received RNI. At a median follow-up of 5.9 years, the 5-year locoregional recurrence (LRR), distant metastasis (DM), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) rates were 4.0% and 7.2% ( P = 0.001), 13.2% and 10.6% ( P = 0.465), 85.0% and 84.7% ( P = 0.131), and 93.9% and 92.8% ( P = 0.004) in the RNI and non-RNI groups, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that RNI was an independent prognostic factor for lower LRR ( P = 0.001) and longer DFS ( P = 0.013). Patients were stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups based on the eight non-therapeutic risk factors. RNI significantly decreased the 5-year LRR (2.2% vs. 7.0%, P = 0.001) and improved the 5-year DFS (88.8% vs. 84.9%, P = 0.015) and OS (95.8% vs. 93.9%, P = 0.010) in the intermediate-risk group. However, neither the low-risk group nor the high-risk group had survival benefit from RNI. Conclusion T1-2N1M0 breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease. We found that RNI only improved survival in the intermediate-risk group. It might be omitted in low-risk patients, and the role of RNI in high-risk patients needs further study.

    Abstract: Cultivated banana are polyploid, with low pollen fertility, and most cultivars are male sterile, which leads to difficulties in banana breeding research. The selection of male parent with excellent resistance and pollen fertility is therefore essential for banana breeding. Wild banana ( Musa itinerans ) have developed many good characteristics during natural selection and constitute an excellent gene pool for breeding. Therefore, research on wild banana breeding is very important for banana breeding. Results In the current analysis, we examined the changes in viability of wild banana pollens at different temperatures by in vitro germination, and found that the germination ability of wild banana pollens cultured at 28°C for 2 days was higher than that of pollens cultured at 23°C (pollens that could not germinate normally under low temperature stress), 24°C (cultured at a constant temperature for 2 days) and 32°C (cultured at a constant temperature for 2 days). To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the germination restoration process in wild banana pollens, we selected the wild banana pollens that had lost its germination ability under low temperature stress (23°C) as the control group (CK) and the wild banana pollens that had recovered its germination ability under constant temperature incubation of 28°C for 2 days as the treatment group (T) for transcriptome sequencing. A total of 921 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in CK vs T, of which 265 were up-regulated and 656 were down-regulated. The combined analysis of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) revealed that the activation, metabolism of various substances (lipids, sugars, amino acids) play a major role in restoring pollen germination capacity. TCA cycle and the sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid biosynthetic pathways were also significantly enriched in the KEGG pathway. And we found that some DEGs may be associated with pollen wall formation, DNA methylation and DNA repair. The cysteine content, free fatty acid (FFA) content, H 2 O 2 content, fructose content, and sucrose content of pollen were increased at treatment of 28°C, while D-Golactose content was decreased. Finally, the GO pathway was enriched for a total of 24 DEGs related to pollen germination, of which 16 DEGs received targeted regulation by 14 MYBs. Discussions Our study suggests that the balance between various metabolic processes, pollen wall remodelling, DNA methylation, DNA repairs and regulation of MYBs are essential for germination of wild banana pollens.
