RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the value of radiomic fusion features combined with extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) machine learning models based on 18F-FDG PET/CT images in the prediction of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression status in breast cancer. Methods:18F-FDG PET/CT images of 210 patients with primary breast cancer (all females; age 52(46, 60) years; 95 HER2-positive and 115 HER2-negative) in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between January 2012 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. About 70% of the HER2-positive and HER2-negative groups were randomly selected using Python 3.7.1 software as a training set ( n=147; 67 HER2-positive and 80 HER2-negative, age: 52(46, 60) years vs 55(45, 62) years) and 30% as a test set ( n=63; 28 HER2-positive and 35 HER2-negative, age: 54(43, 65) years vs 52(45, 61) years). After tumor segmentation on CT and PET images being finished, CT and PET radiomic features were extracted respectively. PET/CT fusion features (including PET/CT splicing features and PET/CT mean features) were obtained through post-processing. The support vector machine (SVM) model and XGBoost model were established. The selected features were input to predict the expression status of HER2 in primary breast cancer lesions, and the prediction efficiency of the model was evaluated by ROC curve. The Delong test was used to compare the predictive effectiveness of different models and radiomic features, and the calibration curve of the machine learning model with the highest prediction efficiency was plotted. Results:Compared with SVM model, XGBoost model had better prediction performance ( z values: 2.26-3.54, P values: 0.016-0.040) when four kinds of radiomic features (CT features, PET features, PET/CT splicing features and PET/CT mean features) were input. ROC curve analysis showed that PET/CT mean features with XGBoost machine learning model had the best performance in predicting the expression status of HER2, and the maximum AUC was 0.83 (95% CI: 0.73-0.93), which was superior to CT features (0.75(95% CI: 0.63-0.88); z=3.57, P=0.027), PET features (0.73(95% CI: 0.60-0.86); z=2.64, P=0.034) and PET/CT splicing features (0.74(95% CI: 0.60-0.87); z=2.49, P=0.037). Conclusion:XGBoost machine learning model based on PET/CT radiomics fusion features is expected to predict HER2 expression status in patients with breast cancer.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the value of machine learning model based on 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics features in preoperative differential diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC) and primary gastric lymphoma (PGL). Methods:A total of 155 patients with GC (104 males, 51 females; age (59.3±12.8) years) and 82 patients with PGL (40 males, 42 females; age (56.8±14.6) years) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging before treatment from January 2012 to December 2020 in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were included in this retrospective study. Patients were randomly divided into training set and test set by using Python3.7.1 software. Volumes of interest (VOIs) in PET and CT images were drawn and two-dimensional and three-dimensional radiomics features were extracted. Two machine learning models, including multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and support vector machine (SVM), were established based on CT radiomics features alone, PET radiomics features alone and PET/CT radiomics features to differentiate GC and PGL, respectively. The predictive performance of each model was evaluated by ROC curve analysis. Results:There were 166 patients in training set and 71 patients in test set. Generally, SVM machine learning model based on PET/CT radiomics features showed a trend to be superior to MLP machine learning model in the differential diagnosis of GC and PGL (PET-SVM: AUC=0.88, 95% CI: 0.83-0.94); PET/CT-MLP: AUC=0.80, 95% CI: 0.73-0.87; z=1.15, P=0.337). The AUC of PET/CT-SVM machine learning model was significantly higher than that of CT-SVM machine learning model (CT-SVM: AUC=0.74, 95% CI: 0.67-0.81; z=2.28, P=0.022). Conclusion:Machine learning model based on 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics features is expected to be a non-invasive, effective tool for preoperative differential diagnosis of GC and PGL.
RESUMEN
Atrial fibrillation(AF)is a prevalent arrhythmia in elderly patients.Such patients often have comorbidities and are subjected to polypharmacy, which may lower medication compliance and increase the risk of bleeding and cardiovascular events.These factors may also affect the efficacy of anticoagulant therapy.According to research, non-vitamin K antagonistic oral anticoagulants like Rivaroxaban, Apixaban, and Dabigatran are a safer and more effective option for anticoagulant therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation compared to warfarin.Studying the impact of polypharmacy on anticoagulant therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation can aid in the development of personalized treatment strategies and improve the prognosis of aged patients.

RESUMEN
Mycoplasma genitalium, a pathogen from class Mollicutes, has been linked to sexually transmitted diseases and sparked widespread concern. To adapt to its environment, M. genitalium has evolved specific adhesins and motility mechanisms that allow it to adhere to and invade various eukaryotic cells, thereby causing severe damage to the cells. Even though traditional exotoxins have not been identified, secreted nucleases or membrane lipoproteins have been shown to cause cell death and inflammatory injury in M. genitalium infection. However, as both innate and adaptive immune responses are important for controlling infection, the immune responses that develop upon infection do not necessarily eliminate the organism completely. Antigenic variation, detoxifying enzymes, immunoglobulins, neutrophil extracellular trap-degrading enzymes, cell invasion, and biofilm formation are important factors that help the pathogen overcome the host defence and cause chronic infections in susceptible individuals. Furthermore, M. genitalium can increase the susceptibility to several sexually transmitted pathogens, which significantly complicates the persistence and chronicity of M. genitalium infection. This review aimed to discuss the virulence factors of M. genitalium to shed light on its complex pathogenicity and pathogenesis of the infection.

RESUMEN
Mycoplasmas, the smallest bacteria lacking a cell wall, can cause various diseases in both humans and animals. Mycoplasmas harbor a variety of virulence factors that enable them to overcome numerous barriers of entry into the host; using accessory proteins, mycoplasma adhesins can bind to the receptors or extracellular matrix of the host cell. Although the host immune system can eradicate the invading mycoplasma in most cases, a few sagacious mycoplasmas employ a series of invasion and immune escape strategies to ensure their continued survival within their hosts. For instance, capsular polysaccharides are crucial for anti-phagocytosis and immunomodulation. Invasive enzymes degrade reactive oxygen species, neutrophil extracellular traps, and immunoglobulins. Biofilm formation is important for establishing a persistent infection. During proliferation, successfully surviving mycoplasmas generate numerous metabolites, including hydrogen peroxide, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide; or secrete various exotoxins, such as community-acquired respiratory distress syndrome toxin, and hemolysins; and express various pathogenic enzymes, all of which have potent toxic effects on host cells. Furthermore, some inherent components of mycoplasmas, such as lipids, membrane lipoproteins, and even mycoplasma-generated superantigens, can exert a significant pathogenic impact on the host cells or the immune system. In this review, we describe the proposed virulence factors in the toolkit of notorious mycoplasmas to better understand the pathogenic features of these bacteria, along with their pathogenic mechanisms.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely found in the environment, and comparing to adults, children are more vulnerable to PAHs exposure. Urinary metabolites of PAHs are used as preferred biomarkers to estimate the PAHs exposure. Systematic review on the internal exposure level of children and adolescents is rare. We aimed to calculate the internal exposure levels of PAHs in children and adolescents and compare the levels of PAHs internal exposure in various children groups. We searched PubMed, OVID, Web of Science, EBSCO, ACS, and four Chinese databases, and all studies examining the urinary concentrations of PAHs in children and adolescent were identified. The total exposure level of 11 PAHs metabolites were pooled. Standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of PAHs urinary concentration were calculated and pooled by RevMan5.3 to compare the exposure levels of different children groups. We found that 1-OHPyr, 2-OHNap, 2-OHFlu, 3-OHPhe, and 4-OHPhe were five PAHs metabolites most commonly studied in existing studies in children, and their total exposure levels were 0.38 ± 0.98, 2.32 ± 4.83, 0.81 ± 1.54, 0.09 ± 0.14, 0.03 ± 0.10 μmol/mol creatinine, respectively. The meta-analysis showed that the levels of 1-OHPyr were higher in higher environmental exposure group (SMD = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.03~0.40), ETS exposure group (SMD = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.08~0.54), and 6~11 years group (SMD = 0.16, 95% CI = 0.09~0.24); the level of 2-OHNap (SMD = 0.27, 95% CI = 0.01~0.53) was higher in higher environmental exposure group; however, the levels of 3-OHPhe (SMD = - 0.34, 95% CI = - 0.57~- 0.12) and 4-OHPhe (SMD = - 0.48, 95% CI = - 0.69~- 0.28) were higher in lower environmental exposure group. The levels of 1-OHPyr (SMD = - 0.01, 95% CI = - 0.11~0.10) and 2-OHNap (SMD = 0.01, 95% CI = - 0.20~0.22) were not statistically different between boys and girls. In conclusions, we found that the internal diversity of PAHs existed in children and adolescents, and the level of 1-OHPyr in children and adolescents was in higher status compared with non-occupational people who do not smoke.
RESUMEN
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease.Its pathogenesis remains unclear,and is currently considered to be co-mediated by heredity,environment and immunity.Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an important transcription factor,which is associated with cancer and autoimmune diseases.STAT3 plays a crucial role in the occurrence of psoriasis by participating in the differentiation of T helper 17 cells,hyperproliferation and abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes,interaction with inflammatory cells,hyperplasia of dermal vessels and other important pathological processes.In recent studies,therapies targeting STAT3 and its upstream Janus kinases (JAK) have shown good efficacy and safety in the management of psoriasis.This review summarizes the association between psoriasis and STAT3,so as to provide evidence for the feasibility of the treatment of psoriasis with targeted inhibition of STAT3.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES@#Mothers who smoke during pregnancy or while their children are small were common in some populations. Epidemiological studies have tried to detect the effect of prenatal tobacco smoke (PTS), and childhood environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on puberty timing have not shown a consensus results. We aimed to examine current evidence and estimate the associations between PTS or/and ETS and puberty timing.@*METHODS@#Seven databases were searched from inception to May 2017. All the cohort studies examining the associations between PTS and/or ETS and puberty timing were identified. Two reviewers independently screened all studies, evaluated the quality of eligible studies, and extracted the data. The quality assessment of the eligible cohort studies was based on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Risk ratio (RR), standard mean difference (SMD), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated and pooled by CMA (Version 2.0, Biostat, Inc., USA).@*RESULTS@#Compared with controls, girls with PTS and ETS exposure have an earlier age at menarche (SMD - 0.087, 95% CI 0.174 to - 0.000), and similar results were found in both PTS subgroup (SMD - 0.097, 95% CI - 0.192 to - 0.002) and prospective cohort subgroup (SMD - 0.171, 95% CI - 0.253 to - 0.090). And number of boys with early voice break in PTS group was significantly increasing than non-exposed boys (RR 1.34, 95% CI 1.29 to 1.40).@*CONCLUSIONS@#PTS exposure possibly decrease age of menarche of girls, and studies on boys were urgent needed. Appropriate and comprehensive outcome measures using unified criteria to classify puberty should be reported in future studies.

Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) in chronic insomnia patients in terms of the improvements of psychological and sleep diary parameters. Methods Patients who met the diagnostic criteria of chronic insomnia, were divided into primary group or comorbid group. Both groups received standard CBT-i interventions. Psychological scales and sleep diaries were used to evaluate participants' severity of insomnia and psychological conditions related to insomnia at four time points:before intervention (baseline), immediate after intervention, 4 weeks and 16 weeks after intervention. Results Both groups achieved significant improvements after intervention on psychological measurements and sleep diary parameters. Such improvements were maintained at 4-week and 16-week follow-ups. The sleep diary data indicated that by the end of the intervention, there were significant differences on sleep onset latency(51.72 min to 10.53 min in primary group, P<0.01;59.26 min to 15.67min in comorbid group, P<0.01)and sleep efficiency (71%to 95%in primary group, P<0.01;68%to 90%in comorbid group, P<0.01). There were differences on sleep onset latency (10.00 min vs. 13.93 min,P<0.05), total sleep time (355.71 min vs. 327.85 min, P<0.05) and sleep efficiency (95%vs. 91%, P<0.01) in primary group and comorbid group respectively. No differences were found on wake after sleep onset in the two groups. Conclusions Chronic insomnia patients with or without comorbidities both have improvements after CBT-i. Sleep diary parameters rather than psychological measurements are different in two groups. Thus, CBT-i is an effective non-pharmaceutical therapy inpatients with chronic insomnia.
RESUMEN
Objective To report a pedigree with tyrosinemia type Ⅱ,and to analyze its causative mutations.Methods Clinical data were obtained from a 10-year-old male proband with tyrosinemia type Ⅱ,and analyzed retrospectively.Blood and urine samples were collected from 19 persons in 3 generations of the pedigree,and the amino acid level was detected in these samples.Genomic DNA was extracted from all of the 19 family members,and mutations in the tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) gene were detected.Results The patient developed photophobia at 2 months after birth,and the symptom was gradually aggravated after that.At the age of 6 years,ocular pain and photophobia occurred.At the age of 8 years,linear keratotic plaques occurred on his fingertips and soles of both feet,with obvious tenderness.Ophthalmic examination showed no obvious abnormalities in corneal staining or ocular fundus.Skin examination showed multiple linear keratotic plaques on the fingers and soles of both feet.The serum tyrosine level was 825.64 μmol/L,and the level of p-hydroxyphenyllactic acid in urine was 161.4 μmol/L.Genetic testing showed 2 novel mutations,including c.236G > A at position 236 in exon 2 of the TAT gene causing the substitution of glycine by glutamic acid (p.Gly79Glu),and c.1141G > T at position 1141 in exon 10 of the TAT gene leading to the formation of a premature termination codon instead of glutamic acid (p.Glu381*).The proband was the only patient in the family.Some members in the patrilineal family carried the mutation c.1141G > T (p.Glu381*),and some in the maternal family carried the mutation c.236G > A (p.Gly79Glu).Conclusion This is the first case of tyrosinemia type Ⅱ reported in the domestic population,and 2 novel heterozygous mutations were identified in the TAT gene,which may lead to the occurrence of tyrosinemia type Ⅱ in the patient.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate clinical and histopathological features of lichen planopilaris (LPP).Methods The clinical and histopathological findings in 3 cases of LPP were analyzed.Results All the 3 patients were female,and their average age was 49 years.One patient presented with large-area patchy hair loss on the frontal,parietal and occipital region,and 2 patients presented with irregular patchy hair loss on the scalp and skin atrophy.Besides the hair loss,the eyebrows and axillary hairs also lost in 1 patient.Histopathological examination showed liquefaction degeneration of basal cells in the walls of hair follicles and infiltration of lymphocytes.Infiltration of a small number of lymphocytes was also observed around blood vessels and appendages.Conclusions LPP may only affect the scalp,or involve the other sites all over the body.LPP commonly manifests as patchy hair loss on the scalp and skin atrophy,and is pathologically characterized by liquefaction degeneration of basal cells in hair follicles and infiltration of lymphocytes.

RESUMEN
The morbidity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been increasing over years, while the treatment efficacy and prognosis of PDAC remain far from satisfying. The newly-ermerged tumor immunotherapy has not only made lots of breakthroughs in various malignancies, but also brought an opportunity to the treatment of pancreatic cancer.PDAC immunotherapies, mainly including vaccine therapy, adoptive T cell thanfer therapy, checkpoint blockade therapy, have achieved a certain effect, however, the clinical outcomes have not been satisfactory. Therefore, the combination of immunotherapies based on different theoretical views is important and is likely to be the trend in the future. Carcinoma associated fibroblast (CAF) is the most common cell in pancreatic cancer stromal component. It will be helpful to develop more potential therapeutic targets by further exploring CAF and the mechanism of fibrosis mediated immunosuppression.
