    Abstract: Although there are therapeutic advantages for hepatitis B virus (HBV) withpegylated interferon alpha (peg‐IFNα) treatment compared with nucleos(t)ide analog (NAs) therapy, the effect difference in infected population at different phases has not been well established. We studied the clinical efficacy of peg‐IFNα in two populations with HBV infection, including inactive HBsAg carrier (IHC) and chronic hepatitis B (CHB). A total of 328 HBV‐infected patients were included in this real‐world analysis. Patients were divided into two groups according to the infected stages. Peg‐IFNα monotherapy or combination therapy with NAs were used in IHCs, and peg‐IFNα added‐on NAs therapy was applied to patients with CHB. The primary efficacy endpoint was HBsAg loss at Week 24. Results: The Kaplan–Meier cumulative rates of HBsAg loss were 39.50% ( n  = 47/119) in IHC group and 28.71% ( n  = 60/209) in CHB group at Week 24 ( p   〈  .05). After Propensity Score Matching (PSM), the HBsAg loss rates were 36.84% ( n  = 35/95) and 32.63% ( n  = 31/95), respectively ( p   〉  .05). Patients with baseline HBsAg level  〈  100 IU/ml achieved higher rates of HBsAg clearance in IHC and CHB group (before PSM: 47.44% vs. 42.86%, after PSM: 49.12% vs. 45.83%, all p values  〉  .05). Baseline HBsAg level and its level decline from baseline to Week 12 can be as the predictors for HBsAg loss at Week 24 in both groups. Hence, the efficacy of HBsAg clearance was broadly similar between IHCs and NA‐treated CHB patients during the early peg‐IFNα therapy. A significant downward trend of HBsAg level was observed in both groups during peg‐IFNα therapy.

    Abstract: We sought to evaluate the severity and patterns of calcifications in the left main coronary artery (LMCA) and proximal segments of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and left circumflex artery (LCX) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with and without prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Background CABG may accelerate upstream calcium development. Methods OCT images ( n  = 76) of the LMCA bifurcation from either the LAD or LCX in 76 patients with at least one patent left coronary graft, on average 7.0 ± 5.6 years post‐CABG, were compared with 148 OCT images in propensity‐score‐matched non‐CABG controls. RESULTS Minimum lumen areas in the LMCA, LAD, and LCX in post‐CABG patients were smaller than non‐CABG controls. Maximum calcium arc and thickness as well as calcium length were greater in the LMCA and LCX, but not in the LAD in post‐CABG patients versus non‐CABG controls. Calcium located at the carina of a bifurcation, calcified nodules (CN), thin intimal calcium, and lobulated calcium were more prevalent in post‐CABG patients. After adjusting for multiple covariates, prior CABG was an independent predictor of calcification at the carina of a bifurcation (odds ratio [OR] 5.77 [95% confidence interval, CI: 1.5–21.6]), thin intimal calcium (4.7 [1.5–14.4] ), and the presence of a CN (15.60 [3.2–76.2]). Conclusions Prior CABG is associated with greater amount of calcium in the LMCA and the proximal LCX, as well as higher prevalence of atypical calcium patterns, including CN, thin or lobulated calcium, and calcifications located at the carina of a bifurcation, compared with non‐CABG controls.

    Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is still among the leading causes of disease burden and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and the world is not on track to meet targets set for ending the epidemic by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Precise HIV burden information is critical for effective geographic and epidemiological targeting of prevention and treatment interventions. Age- and sex-specific HIV prevalence estimates are widely available at the national level, and region-wide local estimates were recently published for adults overall. We add further dimensionality to previous analyses by estimating HIV prevalence at local scales, stratified into sex-specific 5-year age groups for adults ages 15–59 years across SSA. Methods We analyzed data from 91 seroprevalence surveys and sentinel surveillance among antenatal care clinic (ANC) attendees using model-based geostatistical methods to produce estimates of HIV prevalence across 43 countries in SSA, from years 2000 to 2018, at a 5 × 5-km resolution and presented among second administrative level (typically districts or counties) units. Results We found substantial variation in HIV prevalence across localities, ages, and sexes that have been masked in earlier analyses. Within-country variation in prevalence in 2018 was a median 3.5 times greater across ages and sexes, compared to for all adults combined. We note large within-district prevalence differences between age groups: for men, 50% of districts displayed at least a 14-fold difference between age groups with the highest and lowest prevalence, and at least a 9-fold difference for women. Prevalence trends also varied over time; between 2000 and 2018, 70% of all districts saw a reduction in prevalence greater than five percentage points in at least one sex and age group. Meanwhile, over 30% of all districts saw at least a five percentage point prevalence increase in one or more sex and age group. Conclusions As the HIV epidemic persists and evolves in SSA, geographic and demographic shifts in prevention and treatment efforts are necessary. These estimates offer epidemiologically informative detail to better guide more targeted interventions, vital for combating HIV in SSA.

    Abstract: Background: Patients might still experience major adverse cardiovascular events even with dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention. Our study aimed to explore the impact of gene polymorphism on clinical outcomes in one-year follow-up. Methods: A total of 171 patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention from April to December 2020 in the first hospital of Jilin University enrolled in this study. Results: PEAR1 genetic polymorphisms was associated with the arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) platelet aggregation. Hyperglycemia was associated with the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events. PEAR1 GA+AA genetic genetic polymorphisms is associated with hyperglycemia. Conclusion: PEAR1 GG is a risk factor for AA and ADP platelet aggregation. Hyperglycemia can effect the one-year outcome. PEAR1 GA+AA genetic polymorphisms are associated with hyperglycemia.

    Abstract: As nitric oxide (NO) plays significant roles in a variety of physiological processes, the capability for real-time and accurate detection of NO in live organisms is in great demand. Traditional assessments of NO rely on indirect colorimetric techniques or electrochemical sensors that often comprise rigid constituent materials and can hardly satisfy sensitivity and spatial resolution simultaneously. Here, we report a flexible and highly sensitive biosensor based on organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) capable of continuous and wireless detection of NO in biological systems. By modifying the geometry of the active channel and the gate electrodes of OECTs, devices achieve optimum signal amplification of NO. The sensor exhibits a low response limit, a wide linear range, high sensitivity, and excellent selectivity, with a miniaturized active sensing region compared with a conventional electrochemical sensor. The device demonstrates continuous detection of the nanomolar range of NO in cultured cells for hours without significant signal drift. Real-time and wireless measurement of NO is accomplished for 8 d in the articular cavity of New Zealand White rabbits with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture injuries. The observed high level of NO is associated with the onset of osteoarthritis (OA) at the later stage. The proposed device platform could provide critical information for the early diagnosis of chronic diseases and timely medical intervention to optimize therapeutic efficacy.

    Abstract: The purpose of this study was to construct a new typing model for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients based on the B-cell receptor (BCR) and explore its potential molecular mechanism. Methods BCR repertoire sequencing and whole-exome sequencing were performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from 12 DLBCL patients. Subsequently, a typing model was built with cluster analysis, and prognostic indicators between the two groups were compared to verify the typing model. Then, mutation and bioinformatics analyses were conducted to investigate the potential biomarkers of prognostic differences between the two groups. Results Based on BCR sequencing data, we divided patients into two clusters (cluster 1 and cluster 2); this classification differed from the traditional typing method (GCB and non-GCB), in which cluster 1 included some non-GCB patients. The progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), metastasis and Shannon diversity index of IGH V-J and survival after chemotherapy were significantly different ( P   〈  0.05) between the two clusters, but no statistical significance was found between the GCB and non-GCB groups. The mutation status of 248 genes was significantly different between cluster 1 and cluster 2. Among them, FTSJ3, MAGED2 , and ODF3L2 were the specific mutated genes in all patients in cluster 2, and these genes could be considered critical to the different prognoses of the two clusters of DLBCL patients. Conclusion We constructed a new typing model of DLBCL based on BCR repertoire sequencing that can better predict the survival time after chemotherapy. FTSJ3, MAGED2 , and ODF3L2 may represent key genes for the difference in prognosis between the two clusters.

    Abstract: 8059 Background: Lymphatic system cancer is characterized by high heterogeneity in histology and clinical manifestations, B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) plays a vital role in anti-tumor immune responses. This study aimed to compare the BCR repertoire and identify some specific immune markers for different pathological lymphomas. Methods: 5 pathological types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (T-LBL/ALL, PTCL-NOS, B-MCL, B-FL, DLBCL) were collected, with reactive lymph node (RLN) hyperplasia as control. All patients were tested by high-throughput immunohistochemical sequencing (HTS-IR) to analyze the correlation between B-cell immunohistochemistry and clinical indicators, and constructed new strategy typing and overall survival (OS) predicted models for lymphomas. Results: The BCR repertoire had the highest diversity in RLN, followed by T-LBL/ALL, PTCL-NOS, DLBCL, B-MCL and B-FL. The diversity of BCR repertoire and similarity of B cell antigens were higher in B-MCL and B-FL patients. Similar to RLN, T-LBL/ALL and PTCL-NOS had broad and diverse V-J pairs, and rare in B-MCL, B-FL and DLBCL. RLN patients were with the highest average number of amino acids, followed by T-LBL/ALL, DLBCL, PTCL-NOS, B-MCL and B-FL. The expressed amino acid sequencing of ARDLIALDY, ARRPGSFDY, ARDIAGWGAVAGLLGRAYYGMDV, and ARDGPYGGNSVEYFQH were markedly different among 5 groups. Patients tended to recurrence expressed ASLDSSPSGFC, ARGMTTVTTAPNY, ARVPLYDDQNINDV and AGGVGGYDWGSYYFDY (P = 0.01605, 0.02869, and 0.01569), and prone to metastasis with expressions of ARVKEFYGILTGYDY, AHSIIGSSWYNWFDP and VRDGGWQSNNWLGFDV (P = 0.04259, 0.0450 and 0.0481). For all patients, 18 (7 negative, 11 positive) and 12 (10 negative, 2 positive) IGH V-J pairs were respectively associated with lymphoma recurrence and metastasis. The top 3 most significant pairs were IGHV7-4-1_IGHJ4, IGHV3-53_IGHJ5 and IGHV3-7_IGHJ5 bound up with recurrence (P = 0.0019, 0.0020 and 0.0021), and IGHV3-74_IGHJ1, IGHV1-69_IGHJ3 and IGHV1-2_IGHJ1 related to metastasis (P = 0.0022, 0.010 and 0.019). The accuracy of typing model in training and test sets was 78.125% (25/32) and 60% (6/10), respectively. The OS model can predict long (≥ 24 months) or short ( 〈 24 months) OS. Conclusions: Our study identified new biomarkers, constructed novel lymphoma typing model and OS predicted model based on B cell repertoire. It provides a comprehensive understanding of immune response, and contributes to the diagnosis and prognosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

    Abstract: Mediastinal radiotherapy is a common practice for treating breast cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Radiotherapy causes cardiovascular damage and has attracted increasing attention, particularly among Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, as they receive a higher dose of radiation. Patient concerns: A 36-year-old woman with a past medical history of Hodgkin's lymphoma presented with persistent chest pain for 3 hours. She experienced exertional chest pain 1 month before when she was climbing stairs, which disappeared after a few minutes with rest, but recurred with a similar level of exertion. Three hours before admission to the emergency room, the chest pain persisted and was accompanied by diaphoresis and dyspnea. Diagnosis: Cardiogenic shock caused by radiotherapy-induced left main coronary artery disease. Interventions: Urgent angiography revealed left main coronary artery stenosis. Intravascular ultrasonography showed diffuse fibrous proliferation in the left main coronary artery. Hemodynamic instability was resolved after drug-eluting stent implantation. Outcomes: The patient was discharged uneventfully 5 days after the procedure, with a prescription for dual antiplatelet and statin therapy. She was asymptomatic with good exercise tolerance at the 3-month follow-up. Conclusion: Radiotherapy-induced isolated left main coronary artery disease is a rare complication of cancer radiotherapy and can occur years or decades after treatment. Fibrous proliferation is a characteristic pathologic change in the exposed coronary arteries.
