    Abstract In order to get a microwave dielectric ceramics having near zero τƒ, different ratio of ZnTiNb2O8 and SmTiNbO6 powders are sintered together at different temperature. XRD and SEM of these composite ceramics are tested to analyze the composition. The microwave properties and density of the composite ceramics are measured in order to find the best ratio of ZnTiNb2O8 and SmTiNbO6. For (1-x)ZnTiNb2O8-xSmTiNbO6 ceramics, the ceramics have very good microwave properties(εr = 24.63, Q*ƒ=11846GHz, τƒ = 0.16ppm/℃) when x is 0.35.

    Abstract Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a mitochondrial genetic disease with central vision loss as the main symptom. It is one of the diseases that cause vision loss and optic atrophy in young and middle-aged people. The mutations of these three primary mitochondrial mutations, m.11778G>A, m.14484T>C, and m.3460G>A, are the main molecular basis, but their pathogenesis is also affected by nuclear genes, mitochondrial genetic background, and environmental factors. This article summarizes the research progress on molecular pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, and treatment of LHON in recent years, aiming to summarize the genetic pathogenesis and clinical treatment points of LHON.

    Abstract ObjectiveThis study aims to systematically review recent economic evaluations of elbasvir/grazoprevir (EBR/GZR) for chronic hepatitis C (CHC), to critically appraise the reporting quality and to summarize the results.MethodsA literature search was undertaken using Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, EconLit, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and Chongqing VIP to identify original articles containing economic evaluations of EBR/GZR for CHC published between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2020. The Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards statement was used to assess the quality of reporting of the articles.ResultsOf 93 articles identified, 13 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. These studies were conducted in 4 countries, and 8 active interventions were assessed. The target population was patients infected with CHC genotype 1 infection in all studies. Eight out of 13 studies that compared EBR/GZR vs. other direct antiviral agents suggested that EBR/GZR was generally more cost-effective or dominant than daclatasvir/asunaprevir (DCV/ASV), sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL), ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF), ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir + dasabuvir (3D) but not more cost-effective than glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB). Two studies from China and one study from the USA that compared EBR/GZR vs. pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PegIFN/RBV) consistently indicated that EBR/GZR was generally more cost-effective than PegIFN/RBV. One study from Italy compared EBR/GZR with SOF + PegIFN/RBV and suggested that EBR/GZR had a lower cost and higher effectiveness. One study from France and one study from the USA confirmed that compared with non-therapy for patients with chronic kidney disease, EBR/GZR was cost-effective at commonly accepted current standards. All included studies were of good quality of reporting, with an average score of 21.9 (range 19–23).ConclusionEBR/GZR for CHC genotype 1 might be cost-effective or dominant compared with PegIFN/RBV and other direct ...

    Abstract Background: Pathogenic variants in BRCA genes play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer. Intronic variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may contribute to pathogenicity by affecting splicing. Currently, the significance of many intronic variants in BRCA has not been clarified, impacting patient treatment strategies and the management of familial cases.
    Method: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze BRCA intronic VUS in a cohort of 707 unrelated ovarian cancer patients at a single institution from 2018 to 2023. Three splicing predictors were employed to analyze detected intronic VUS. Variants predicted to have splicing alterations were selected for further validation through minigene assays. Patient and familial investigations were conducted to comprehend cancer incidence within pedigrees and the application of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) by the patients. In accordance with the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the intronic VUS were reclassified based on minigene assay results and clinical evidence.
    Result: Approximately 9.8% (69/707) of patients were identified as carriers of 67 different VUS in BRCA1/2, with four intronic variants accounting for 6% (4/67) of all VUS. Splicing predictors indicated potential splicing alterations in splicing for BRCA1 c.4358-2A>G and BRCA2 c.475+5G>C variants. Minigene assays utilizing the pSPL3 exon trapping vector revealed that these variants induced changes in splicing sites and frameshift, resulting in premature termination of translation (p. Ala1453Glyfs and p. Pro143Glyfs). According to ACMG guidelines, BRCA1 c.4358-2A>G and BRCA2 c.475+5G>C were reclassified as pathogenic variants. Pedigree investigations were conducted on patients with BRCA1 c.4358-2A>G variant, and the detailed utilization of PARPi provided valuable insights into research on PARPi resistance.
    Conclusion: Two intronic VUS were reclassified as pathogenic variants. A precise classification of variants is crucial for the effective treatment and management of both patients and healthy carriers.

    Abstract Rationale: The M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are independent prognostic factors in melanoma.
    Methods: We performed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify the module most correlated with M2-like TAMs. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) patients were classified into two clusters that differed based on prognosis and biological function, with consensus clustering. A prognostic model was established based on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the two clusters. We investigated the difference in immune cell infiltration and immune response-related gene expression between the high and low risk score groups.
    Results: The risk score was defined as an independent prognostic value in melanoma. VARS1 was a hub gene in the M2-like macrophage-associated WGCNA module that the DepMap portal demonstrated was necessary for melanoma growth. Overexpressing VARS1 in vitro increased melanoma cell migration and invasion, while downregulating VARS1 had the opposite result. VARS1 overexpression promoted M2 macrophage polarization and increased TGF-β1 concentrations in tumor cell supernatant in vitro. VARS1 expression was inversely correlated with immune-related signaling pathways and the expression of several immune checkpoint genes. In addition, the VARS1 expression level helped predict the response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Pan-cancer analysis demonstrated that VARS1 expression negatively correlated with CD8 T cell infiltration and the immune response-related pathways in most cancers.
    Conclusion: We established an M2-like TAM-related prognostic model for melanoma and explored the role of VARS1 in melanoma progression, M2 macrophage polarization, and the development of immunotherapy resistance.

    Abstract Ulceration and immune status are independent prognostic factors for survival in melanoma patients. Herein univariate Cox regression analysis revealed 53 ulcer-immunity-related DEGs. We performed consensus clustering to divide The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort (n = 467) into three subtypes with different prognosis and biological functions, followed by validation in three merged Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cohorts (n = 399). Multiomics approach was used to assess differences among the subtypes. Cluster 3 showed relatively lesser amplification and expression of immune checkpoint genes. Moreover, Cluster 3 lacked immune-related pathways and immune cell infiltration, and had higher proportion of non-responders to immunotherapy. We also constructed a prognostic model based on ulceration and immune related genes in melanoma. EIF3B was a hub gene in the intersection between genes specific to Cluster 3 and those pivotal for melanoma growth (DepMap, https://depmap.org/portal/download/). High EIF3B expression in TCGA and GEO datasets was related to worst prognosis.

    Abstract Manual prescription of the field of view (FOV) by MRI technologists is variable and prolongs the scanning process. Often, the FOV is too large or crops critical anatomy. We propose a deep learning framework, trained by radiologists' supervision, for automating FOV prescription. An intra-stack shared feature extraction network and an attention network are used to process a stack of 2D image inputs to generate scalars defining the location of a rectangular region of interest (ROI). The attention mechanism is used to make the model focus on a small number of informative slices in a stack. Then, the smallest FOV that makes the neural network predicted ROI free of aliasing is calculated by an algebraic operation derived from MR sampling theory. The framework's performance is examined quantitatively with intersection over union (IoU) and pixel error on position and qualitatively with a reader study. The proposed model achieves an average IoU of 0.867 and an average ROI position error of 9.06 out of 512 pixels on 80 test cases, significantly better than two baseline models and not significantly different from a radiologist. Finally, the FOV given by the proposed framework achieves an acceptance rate of 92% from an experienced radiologist.

    Abstract Radical cyclization is regarded as a powerful and promising strategy for the assembly of diverse important cyclic structures because of its high atom- and step-economy. As excellent radical acceptors, alkenes offer two potential directions, pushing the research domain of radical cyclization. In this context, as a radical precursor, sulfonyl hydrazide plays an important role in accomplishing radical cyclization of alkenes in a facile and efficient way. This review focuses on the applications of sulfonyl hydrazides in radical cyclization of alkenes, which generally has two radical conversion modes, sulfonyl radicals and sulfoxide radicals. In particular, the section of sulfonyl radicals consists of eight parts containing aromatic rings, alkenes, alkynes, cyanides, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, amides, and small ring compounds, according to the objects of cyclization after addition with alkenes. Within each category, representative instances are presented and discussed in terms of their general mechanistic perspectives when needed.
