Objective:To construct an prediction model based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine learning algorithm and radiomics and investigate its application value in predicting lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status of rectal cancer without lymph node metastasis.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 204 rectal cancer patients without lymph node metastasis who were admitted to Gansu Provincial Hospital from February 2016 to January 2024 were collected. There were 123 males and 81 females, aged (61±7)years. All 204 patients were randomly divided into the training dataset of 163 cases and the testing dataset of 41 cases by a ratio of 8∶2 using the electronic computer randomization method. The training dataset was used to construct the prediction model, and the testing dataset was used to validate the prediction model. The clinical prediction model, radiomics model and joint prediction model were constructed based on the selected clinical and/or imaging features. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability were used for comparison between the groups. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the nonparameter rank sum test. The inter-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the consistency of the radiomics features of the two doctors, and ICC >0.80 was good consistency. Univariate analysis was conducted by corres-ponding statistic methods. Multivariate analysis was conducted by Logistic stepwise regression model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC), Delong test, decision curve and clinical impact curve were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency and clinical utility of the model. Result:(1) Analysis of factors affecting LVI status of patients. Of the 204 rectal cancer patients without lymph node metastasis, there were 71 cases with positive of LVI and 133 cases with negative of LVI. Results of multivariate analysis showed that gender, platelet (PLT) count and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were independent factors affecting LVI status of rectal cancer without lymph node metastasis in training dataset [ odds ratio=2.405, 25.062, 2.528, 95% confidence interval ( CI) as 1.093-5.291, 2.748-228.604, 1.181-5.410, P<0.05]. (2) Construction of clinical prediction model. The clinical prediction model was conducted based on the results of multivariate analysis including gender, PLT count and CEA. Results of ROC curve showed that the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of clinical prediction model were 0.721 (95% CI as 0.637-0.805), 0.675, 0.632 and 0.698 for the training dataset, and 0.795 (95% CI as 0.644-0.946), 0.805, 1.000 and 0.429 for the testing dataset. Results of Delong test showed that there was no significant difference in the AUC of clinical prediction model between the training dataset and the testing dataset ( Z=-0.836, P>0.05). (3) Construction of radiomics model. A total of 851 radiomics features were extracted from 204 patients, and seven machine learning algorithms, including logistic regression, support vector machine, Gaussian process, logistic regression-lasso algorithm, linear discriminant analysis, naive Bayes and automatic encoder, were used to construct the prediction model. Eight radiomics features were finally selected from the optimal Gaussian process learning algorithm to construct a radiomics prediction model. Results of ROC curve showed that the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of radiomics prediction model were 0.857 (95% CI as 0.800-0.914), 0.748, 0.947 and 0.642 for the training dataset, and 0.725 (95% CI as 0.571-0.878), 0.634, 1.000 and 0.444 for the testing dataset. Results of Delong test showed that there was no significant difference in the AUC of radiomics prediction model between the training dataset and the testing dataset ( Z=1.578, P>0.05). (4) Construction of joint prediction model. The joint prediction model was constructed based on the results of multivariate analysis and the radiomics features. Results of ROC curve showed that the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of radiomics prediction model were 0.885 (95% CI as 0.832-0.938), 0.791, 0.912 and 0.726 for the training dataset, and 0.857 (95% CI as 0.731-0.984), 0.854, 0.714 and 0.926 for the testing dataset. Results of Delong test showed that there was no significant difference in the AUC of joint prediction model between the training dataset and the testing dataset ( Z=0.395, P>0.05). (5) Performance comparison of three prediction models. Results of the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed that all of the clinical prediction model, radiomics prodiction model and joint prediction model having good fitting degree ( χ2=1.464, 12.763, 10.828, P>0.05). Results of Delong test showed that there was no signifi-cant difference in the AUC between the clinical prediction model and the joint prediction model or the radiomics model ( Z=1.146, 0.658, P>0.05), and there was a significant difference in the AUC between the joint prediction model and the radiomics model ( Z=2.001, P<0.05). Results of calibra-tion curve showed a good performance in the joint prediction model. Results of decision curve and clinical impact curve showed that the performance of joint prediction model in predicting LVI status of rectal cancer without lymph node metastasis was superior to the clinical prediction model and the radiomics model. Conclusions:The clinical prediction model is constructed based on gender, PLT count and CEA. The radiomics predictive model is constructed based on 8 selected radiomics features. The joint prediction model is constructed based on the clinical prediction model and the radiomics predictive model. All of the three models can predict the LVI status of rectal cancer with-out lymph node metastasis, and the joint prediction model has a superior predictive performance.

Objective:To analyze immune reconstitution and influencing factors in HIV infected men who have sex with men (MSM) with access to antiviral therapy (ART) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) during 2005-2021.Methods:The data were collected from Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The study subjects were HIV infected MSM with access to the initial ART for ≥24 weeks in Guangxi from 2005 to 2021 and HIV RNA lower than the detection limit within 24 months. The proportion of infected MSM who had immune reconstitution after ART was calculated. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of immune reconstitution. Software SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 3 200 HIV infected MSM were enrolled, in whom 15.56 % (498/3 200) had no immune reconstitution, 14.78% (473/3 200) had moderate immune reconstitution, and the rate of complete immune reconstitution was 69.66% (2 229/3 200). The M ( Q1, Q3) of ART time for immune reconstitution was 12 (5, 27) months. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model analysis results showed that compared with those with initial ART at age ≥30 years, WHO clinical stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ illness, baseline BMI <18.50 kg/m 2 and baseline CD4 +T lymphocyte (CD4) counts <200 cells/μl, HIV infected MSM with initial ART at age <30 years, WHO clinical stageⅠ/Ⅱ illness, baseline BMI≥24.00 kg/m 2 and baseline CD4 counts ≥200 cells/μl were more likely to have complete immune reconstitution. Conclusions:In the HIV infected MSM in Guangxi, failures to achieve moderate and complete immune reconstitution were observed. Surveillance and ART regimen should be improved for key populations, such as those with older age and low baseline CD4 counts.

Objective:To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 regulating miRNA-675 (miR-675) and phosphatase and tensin homologue-deleted chromosome ten gene (PTEN) on the cell proliferation of glioma.Methods:Glioma cell lines U87-MG and U251 were chosen. The siRNA online design tool wad used to design small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting H19. U87-MG and U251 cell lines with the stable knockdown of H19 were constructed (the stable knockdown of H19 group), and the cells randomly transfected with siRNA plasmid were taken as the control group, and normal cultured cells were treated as the blank group. Additionally, miR-675 and control microRNA were transfected into U87-MG and U251 with the stable knockdown of H19 (the overexpressing miR-675 group and the corresponding control group). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression levels of miR-675 and H19 in each group; the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to detect the cell proliferation ability; the dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-675 and PTEN; Western blot was used to detect the relative expression level of PTEN protein.Results:The MTT assay results showed that the proliferation ability of U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group was lower than that of the corresponding control group; and the differences in cell proliferation ability of all the groups after 48 h of culture were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). qRT-PCR detection results showed that the relative expression level of miR-675 in U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group and the corresponding control group was 0.329±0.009 and 1.043±0.087, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 14.15, P < 0.001); the relative expression level of miR-675 in U87-MG cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group and the corresponding control group was 0.299±0.009 and 1.027±0.106, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 11.85, P < 0.001); the relative expression level of miR-675 in U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group was lower than that of the corresponding control group. The dual luciferase reporter gene assay verified that miR-675 could bind to the 3'-UTR of PTEN. Western blot detection results showed that the relative expression level of PTEN protein in U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group was higher than that of the corresponding control group and the blank group; in the U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group, the relative expression level of PTEN in the overexpressing miR-675 group was lower than that of the corresponding blank group and the control group. In the U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group, the cell proliferation ability of the overexpressing miR-675 group was higher than that of the corresponding blank group and the control group; the differences in cell proliferation ability of all the groups after 48 h of culture were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:lncRNA H19 may regulate the cell proliferation of glioma cells through the miR-675-PTEN signaling pathway.

Enzyme-catalyzed CO2 reduction to value-added commodities is important for alleviating the global environmental issues and energy crises due to high selectivity and mild conditions. Owing to high energy density, formic acid or methanol produced from CO2 using formate dehydrogenase (FDH) or multi-enzyme cascades are promising target chemicals for CO2 utilization. However, the low activity, poor stability and low reusability of key enzymes involved in such process hampered its large-scale application. Enzyme immobilization provides an effective solution to these problems and significant progress have been made in immobilization carriers. Moreover, integration of enzyme immobilization with other catalysis techniques have been explored extensively. This review summarized the recent advances in the immobilization of enzymes using membranes, inorganic materials, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks and other carriers, and illustrated the characteristics and advantages of different immobilization materials and immobilization methods. The synergistic effects and applications of immobilized enzymes and electrocatalytic or photocatalytic coupling reaction systems for CO2 reduction were further summarized. Finally, the current challenges of enzyme immobilization technology and coupling reaction systems were pointed out and their development prospects were presented.

Platinum-based chemotherapy resistance is a key factor of poor prognosis and recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, RNAseq analysis revealed that elevated tubulin folding cofactor E (TBCE) expression is associated with platinum-based chemotherapy resistance. High expression of TBCE contributes to worse prognoses and earlier recurrence among liver cancer patients. Mechanistically, TBCE silencing significantly affects cytoskeleton rearrangement, which in turn increases cisplatin-induced cycle arrest and apoptosis. To develop these findings into potential therapeutic drugs, endosomal pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) were developed to simultaneously encapsulate TBCE siRNA and cisplatin (DDP) to reverse this phenomena. NPs (siTBCE + DDP) concurrently silenced TBCE expression, increased cell sensitivity to platinum treatment, and subsequently resulted in superior anti-tumor effects both in vitro and in vivo in orthotopic and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Taken together, NP-mediated delivery and the co-treatment of siTBCE + DDP proved to be effective in reversing chemotherapy resistance of DDP in multiple tumor models.

Objective:To analyze the trend of late-diagnosis of HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) before and after the AIDS Conquering Project in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) and its influencing factors, in order to find out the population groups that need priority intervention at the present stage.Methods:The HIV-infected MSM in Guangxi from 2005-2021 were selected from the National Integrated HIV/AIDS Control and Prevention Data System. The Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 software was used to test the time trend of late-diagnosis and non-late-diagnosis cases, and logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors influencing the proportion of late-diagnosis at each stage.Results:From 2005 to 2021, 5 764 HIV-infected MSM were reported in Guangxi from 2005 to 2021, with an overall late-diagnosis of 28.45% (1 640 cases). Under the 2015 baseline data as the boundary, the proportion of late-diagnosis cases showed a trend of sharp decline followed by stabilization from 2005 to 2015, average annual percent change= -6.90% ( P<0.001). The effect of factors such as resident population, occupation as a farmer or worker, and sample originating from medical consultation on late-diagnosis changed considerably before and after the implementation of the project, and the factors influencing late-diagnosis at this stage were age, resident population, occupation as a farmer, worker or student. The factors influencing late-diagnosis at this stage are age, resident population, and occupation as a farmer, worker and a student. Conclusions:The proportion of late diagnosis cases of HIV-infected MSM in Guangxi decreased significantly before and after the project. However, late-diagnosis should not be neglected and precise prevention and control should be carried out for the resident population, farmers, workers or students.

Objective:To learn about the status of thyroid function and intelligence quotient (IQ) of children in areas with different iodine nutrition levels in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and to explore the health risk of children with median urinary iodine of 200 - 299 μg/L, and to provide a basis for scientific iodine supplementation.Methods:In May 2019, in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Altay Prefecture and Kashgar Prefecture were selected, where the median urinary iodine of children aged 8 to 10 years were 100 - 199 and 200 - 299 μg/L for three consecutive years (2017 - 2019). A stratified random sampling method was used to select 400 children aged 8 to 10 years in each of the two regions, urine and blood samples were collected to detect urinary iodine and thyroid function [thyrotropin stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT 4), free triiodothyronine (FT 3), anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), and anti-thyroperoxidase antibody (TPOAb)]. At the same time, children's IQ was measured and determined by Second Revision of Combined Raven's Test (CRT-C2) in China and Second Revision of Combined Raven's Test for Children-the Rural, in China (CRT-RC2). Results:The median urinary iodine of children aged 8 to 10 years in Altay Prefecture and Kashgar Prefecture was 188.6 and 250.1 μg/L, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in thyroid function indexes TSH and FT 3 levels between the two regions ( Z = - 0.58, t = 0.49, P > 0.05), while there was statistically significant difference in FT 4 level ( t = 60.08, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in TgAb positive rate [3.6% (14/394), 4.0% (16/399)] between the two regions (χ 2 = 0.11, P = 0.736), but the difference of TPOAb positive rate [9.6% (38/394), 30.6% (122/399)] was statistically significant (χ 2 = 53.93, P < 0.001), while the difference of dual antibody positive rate [0.8% (3/394), 2.0% (8/399)] was not statistically significant ( P = 0.134). There was no statistically significant difference in the detection rates of subclinical hypothyroidism [8.9% (35/394), 11.0% (44/399)], subclinical hyperthyroidism [1.0% (4/394), 1.3% (5/399)] and hyperthyroidism [0.3% (1/394), 0.8% (3/399)] in children between the two regions ( P > 0.05). The IQ results of children in the two regions were 96.55 ± 11.36 and 89.57 ± 12.35, respectively, and there was no significant difference between them ( t = 2.79, P = 0.095). Conclusions:The thyroid function status of children is similar in the two regions with median urinary iodine of 100 - 199 μg/L and 200 - 299 μg/L in children aged 8 to 10 years, but the TPOAb positive rate is significantly different. Children whose iodine nutritional level is at or above the appropriate level have no obvious changes in intelligence. It is suggested that median urinary iodine at 200 - 299 μg/L is a relatively safe iodine nutrition state.
