    Abstract Background: The diagnosis of unilateral eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE) is difficult, especially for the elderly. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare cause of EPE.
    Case presentation: An 81-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for dyspnea due to right pleural effusion. Laboratory examination shows elevated IgG4 and eosinophils in both serum and pleural fluid. The patient was diagnosed with IgG4-RD by video-assisted thoracoscopy and pleural biopsy. We found no evidence of other organ involvement except for the EPE and history of prurigo. He was treated with prednisolone 40 mg daily orally and pleural effusion decreased significantly.
    Conclusion: IgG4-RD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of EPE in the elderly. High effusion IgG4 concentration may be an indication of IgG4-related pleural lesions.

    Abstract Background: We investigated the value of three-dimensional amide proton transfer-weighted imaging (3D-APTWI) in the diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer (BC) and its correlation with the immunohistochemical characteristics of malignant lesions.
    Methods: Seventy-eight women underwent APTWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI. Pathological results were categorized as either benign (n = 43) or malignant (n = 37) lesions. The parameters of APTWI and DCE-MRI were compared between the benign and malignant groups. The diagnostic value of 3D-APTWI was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) to establish a diagnostic threshold. Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the magnetization transfer asymmetry (MTR
    Results: The MTR
    Conclusions: 3D-APTWI may be used as a supplementary method for patients with contraindications of DCE-MRI. MTR
    Relevance statement: 3D-APTWI can be an alternative diagnostic method for patients with early-stage BC who are not suitable for contrast injection.
    Key points: • 3D-APTWI reflects the changes in the microenvironment of early-stage breast cancer. • Combined 3D-APTWI is superior to DCE-MRI alone for early-stage breast cancer diagnosis. • 3D-APTWI improves the diagnostic accuracy of early-stage breast cancer.

    Abstract Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most frequently used chemotherapeutic drugs belonging to the class of anthracyclines. However, the cardiotoxic effects of anthracyclines limit their clinical use. Recent studies have suggested that ferroptosis is the main underlying pathogenetic mechanism of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC). BTB-and-CNC homology 1 (Bach1) acts as a key role in the regulation of ferroptosis. However, the mechanistic role of Bach1 in DIC remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanistic role of Bach1 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity using the DIC mice in vivo (DOX at cumulative dose of 20 mg/kg) and the DOX-treated H9c2 cardiomyocytes in vitro (1 μM). Our results show a marked upregulation in the expression of Bach1 in the cardiac tissues of the DOX-treated mice and the DOX-treated cardiomyocytes. However, Bach1

    Abstract Dactylicapnos scandens (D. scandens) is an ethnic medicine commonly used for the treatment of analgesia. In this study, an integrated strategy was proposed for the quality evaluation of D. scandens based on "phytochemistry-network pharmacology-effectiveness-specificity" to discover and determine the quality marker (Q-marker) related to analgesia. First, phytochemical analysis was conducted using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS and a self-built compound library, and 19 components were identified in D. scandens extracts. Next, the "compounds-targets" network was constructed to predict the relevant targets and compounds related to analgesia. Then, the analgesic activity of related compounds was verified through dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) assays on D2 and Mu receptors, and 5 components showed D2 antagonistic activity with IC

    Abstract Fibulin-5 is reportedly involved in the pathological process of atherosclerosis (AS) where low expression has been frequently observed in ruptured atherosclerotic plaques. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of fibulin-5 on the responses of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). The expression of fibulin-5 was studied in human aortic-VSMCs (HA-VSMCs) treated with ox-LDL. Fibulin-5 was first overexpressed by the transfection of Ov-Fibulin-5 plasmids in HA-VSMCs challenged with ox-LDL to investigate its influence on cell proliferation, migration and invasion using Cell Counting Kit-8, wound healing and Transwell assays. Yin Yang-1 (YY1) was bioinformatically predicted to bind to the promoter sites of fibulin-5, which was subsequently confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Fibulin-5 overexpression was able to suppress cell proliferation, invasion and migration, which was effectively reversed by YY1 silencing by the transfection of siRNA-Fibulin-5 plasmids which could induced fibulin-5 silencing. YY1 binding sites in the promoter region of fibulin-5 were identified and confirmed

    Abstract Background: DNA aneuploidy has a potential to become an adjunct to conventional cytology for diagnosis of lung cancer, but its value in bronchial washings has not been well evaluated.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on patients who underwent bronchoscopy and the bronchial washings were submitted for both cytology and DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM) examination. The sensitivity and specificity of two methods and both in combination were compared. Analysis of clinical subgroups and DNA histogram were also performed.
    Results: The study included 626 patients (326 patients with lung cancer and 300 patients with benign lung diseases). The sensitivity of cytology, DNA-ICM, and combination test for lung cancer were 53.3%, 62.3%, and 75.8%, respectively, and the sensitivity of DNA-ICM and combination test were superior to that of cytology (p < 0.05). A modest reduction of specificity was found in DNA-ICM compared with cytology (91.3% vs. 98.3%, p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed there was no significant difference in sensitivity of DNA-ICM between the visible tumor group and the invisible tumor group (66.5% vs. 56.9%, χ
    Conclusions: DNA-ICM could be used as an adjunct for the detection of lung cancer. The combination of DNA-ICM and basic bronchoscopy techniques could significantly increase the sensitivity, especially for the patients suspected of peripheral lung cancer, and contribute to select subjects for advanced bronchoscopy.

    Abstract Purpose: To confirm the ability of native T1 and T2 values in detecting and monitoring early myocardial injuries of chest radiotherapy in neoplasm patients.
    Materials and methods: Fifteen participants received non-anthracycline chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy, and 30 age/gender-matched controls were enrolled in this prospective study. Cardiac magnetic resonance scans were performed within 2 days, 3 months, and 6 months after chest radiotherapy. Myocardial native T1 and T2 values were measured in irradiated and nonirradiated areas. Meanwhile, the parameters of left ventricular function and left ventricular myocardial strain were obtained.
    Results: There were no significant differences in left ventricular function, native T1, T2, and strain between patients and controls before chest radiotherapy. In 15 participants who were followed up for 6 months, there was a significant change only in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) among baseline and the first follow-up (
    Conclusion: Native T1 and T2 values elevated at 3 months after chest radiotherapy, whereas LVEF showed no significant change during the 6-month follow-up.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this study is to study the adjunct role of combining DNA aneuploidy analysis with radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS)-guided sampling for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions (PPLs).
    Method: A single-center prospective study was conducted in patients undergoing R-EBUS-guided sampling for PPLs. DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM) was used to analyze DNA aneuploidy in bronchial washing from the bronchial segment of the PPL. Clinical information, R-EBUS data, pathology, DNA-ICM results, and follow-up data were analyzed. Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for R-EBUS-guided sampling, DNA-ICM, and the two methods combined were measured. Binary logistic regression was performed to determine influencing factors on diagnostic positivity rate. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cutoff point for DNA-ICM.
    Results: A total of 101 patients were enrolled. Sixty-four (63.4%) patients had confirmed malignant tumor, of whom 33 were confirmed by R-EBUS-guided sampling (biopsy and/or bronchial brush and wash cytology), and 31 by surgery or percutaneous lung biopsy. Thirty-seven patients were finally considered to have benign lesions, based on clinical information and 1-year follow-up. The sensitivity for malignant disease was 51.6% by R-EBUS, and specificity was 100%. DNA-ICM had a sensitivity of 67.2% and a specificity of 86.5%. When combining the two methods, sensitivity increased to 78.1% and specificity was 86.5%. Lesion size and whether the R-EBUS probe was located in the lesion were significantly associated with positivity rate of the combined methods. The optimal cutoff point for DNA-ICM was 5c for max DNA content, and 1 for aneuploid cell count (sensitivity 67.2%, specificity 86.5%, accuracy 63.4%).
    Conclusion: In malignant PPLs, DNA-ICM combined with R-EBUS-guided sampling can improve diagnostic positivity compared with either method alone.

    Abstract Although the menstrual cycle driven by sex steroid hormones is an uncomplicated physiological process, it is important for female health, fertility and regenerative biology. However, our understanding of this unique type of tissue homeostasis remains unclear. Here, we examined the biological effects of mechanical force by evaluating the changing trend of extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, and the results suggested that ECM stiffness was reduced and that breaking of mechanotransduction delayed endometrium repair in a mouse model of simulated menses. We constructed an ECM stiffness interference model in vitro to explain the mechanical force conduction mechanism during endometrial regeneration. We discovered that ECM stiffness increased the expression and nuclear transfer of YAP, which improved the creation of a microenvironment, in a manner that induced proliferation and angiogenesis for endometrial repair by activating YAP. In addition, we observed that physiological endometrial hypoxia occurs during the menstrual cycle and that the expression of HIF-1α was increased. Mechanistically, in addition to the classical F-actin/YAP pathway, we also found that the ROS/HIF-1α/YAP axis was involved in the transmission of mechanical signals. This study provides novel insights into the essential menstrual cycle and presents an effective, nonhormonal treatment for menstrual disorders.
