    Abstract This retrospective study rigorously compares the clinical efficacy of three surgical methodologies for treating gynecomastia while providing guidance for future surgical modality selection. We analyzed records of 77 gynecomastia patients treated between January 2015 and October 2022. Patients were categorized into three groups: Group A (subcutaneous gland resection via areola incision), Group B (liposuction combined with single-hole endoscopic gland resection), and Group C (liposuction combined with three-hole endoscopic gland resection). Parameters assessed included patient demographics, intraoperative bleeding, surgical duration, hospitalization duration, costs, postoperative drainage, complications, and patient satisfaction. Group A had significantly shorter operation time and lower cost than Groups B and C (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in postoperative drainage (P > 0.05). Group A had a higher incidence of subcutaneous fluid complications. All groups achieved 100% overall postoperative efficiency. Group B demonstrated superior outcomes for scarring and patient satisfaction. All three surgical modalities effectively treat gynecomastia. Circumareolar incision subcutaneous gland resection is optimal for mild to moderate cases due to reduced operation time and cost. Liposuction with single-hole endoscopic gland resection and three-hole endoscopic gland resection offers fewer complications and discreet incisions. Notably, the liposuction and single-hole endoscopic approach yielded superior postoperative patient satisfaction, aligning with minimally invasive principles and warranting broad clinical application.

    Abstract Introduction: Solute carrier family 31 member 1(SLC31A1) has been reported as the copper importer, and was identified to be involved in the process of "cuproptosis". However, the mechanism of SLC31A1 in breast cancer remains unclear.
    Methods: We examined the expression of SLC31A1 mRNA in breast cancer tissues and cell lines using Real-time PCR. The data for this study were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and analyzed via R 3.6.3. TIMER, UALCAN, GEPIA2, STRING, Metascape, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, starBase and miRNet websites were used for a comprehensive analysis of SLC31A1.
    Results: Our study suggested that SLC31A1 mRNA was over-expressed in breast tumor tissue and breast cancer cell lines, and which was closely related to poor relapse-free survival (RFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). In addition, we constructed a co-expression network of SLC31A1. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that they were mainly involved in copper ion transport. Interestingly, SLC31A1 expression was positively associated with all m6A-related genes, especially with YTHDF3 (
    Conclusion: Up-regulation of SLC31A1 expression and regulation of copper ion transport mediated by LINC00511-miR-29-3p axis is related to poor prognosis and positively correlated with tumor immune infiltration in breast cancer.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to analyze the role of myelin protein zero-like 3 (MPZL3), a single membrane glycoprotein, in prognosis, tumor immune infiltration, and drug susceptibility in human cancers.
    Methods: Data regarding MPZL3 were extracted from the TCGA, GTEx, CellMiner, CCLE, TIMER, GSEA, and USCS Xena databases. The expression difference, survival outcomes, DNA methylation, tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), mismatch repair (MMR), tumor microenvironment (TME), immune cell infiltration, and drug sensitivity of MPZL3 were analyzed by R language software. Cell proliferation and drug sensitivity tests were applied to analyze the biological role of MPZL3 and drug sensitivities in breast cancer.
    Results: MPZL3 was highly expressed in most cancer types and correlated with unfavorable survival outcomes in several cancers. TMB, MSI, MMR, DNA methylation, and RNA modification played a significant role in mediating MPZL3 dysregulation in cancers, and MPZL3 was closely linked to CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T immune infiltration. The MPML3 mRNA level was associated with protein secretion, the Notch signaling pathway, and heme metabolism. In addition, drug sensitivity analysis and validation also indicated that MPZL3 expression influenced the sensitivity of therapeutics targeting EGFR, ABL, FGFR, etc. Additionally, MPZL3 overexpression contributed to proliferation and drug sensitivity in different subtypes of breast cancer.
    Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive analysis and understanding of the oncogenic roles of the pan-cancer gene MPZL3 across different tumors, including breast cancer. MPZL3 could be a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for breast cancer.

    Abstract Research is divided on the effects of violent video games (VVGs). Some scholars claimed that VVG promotes aggression, reduces empathy, increases self-injury, and externalization, whereas others claim that a minimal or, in some cases, no traits as reported by the former is associated with playing VVGs. This study provides evidence to support claims that VVG is associated with aggressive behavior among young adults. However, the study focused more importantly on the moderating effects of adverse environmental factors on this relationship from a cross-cultural perspective. A total of 3,219 young adults between 18 and 35 years sampled from colleges and game centers in Ghana and China provided support for this study. We adopted a parallel moderated-mediation regression analysis and found that increased exposure to VVG is associated with reduced empathy concerns, aggression-related thoughts, and increased aggressive behavior. Although controlling for gender, setting, and location, the results pointed to the magnifying effects of the adverse environments in explaining the association between VVG and aggressive behavior. This study thus provides strong support for the frequently debated adverse effects of playing VVG among young adults with a particular reference to environmental factors and will hence aid in communicating a more representative viewpoint on the effects of VVG.

    Abstract To address the challenge of increasing network size, researchers have developed sparse models through network pruning. However, maintaining model accuracy while achieving significant speedups on general computing devices remains an open problem. In this paper, we present a novel mobile inference acceleration framework SparseByteNN, which leverages fine-grained kernel sparsity to achieve real-time execution as well as high accuracy. Our framework consists of two parts: (a) A fine-grained kernel sparsity schema with a sparsity granularity between structured pruning and unstructured pruning. It designs multiple sparse patterns for different operators. Combined with our proposed whole network rearrangement strategy, the schema achieves a high compression rate and high precision at the same time. (b) Inference engine co-optimized with the sparse pattern. The conventional wisdom is that this reduction in theoretical FLOPs does not translate into real-world efficiency gains. We aim to correct this misconception by introducing a family of efficient sparse kernels for ARM and WebAssembly. Equipped with our efficient implementation of sparse primitives, we show that sparse versions of MobileNet-v1 outperform strong dense baselines on the efficiency-accuracy curve. Experimental results on Qualcomm 855 show that for 30% sparse MobileNet-v1, SparseByteNN achieves 1.27x speedup over the dense version and 1.29x speedup over the state-of-the-art sparse inference engine MNN with a slight accuracy drop of 0.224%.

    Abstract Triple‑negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by fast progression with high potential for metastasis, and poor prognosis. The dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) occurring in the initiation or progression of cancers often leads to aberrant gene expression. The aim of the present study was to explore the function of miR‑126 in TNBC cells. Expression levels of miR‑126‑3p were determined by quantitative real‑time PCR. Then, the effects of miR‑126‑3p on migration, proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis were assessed through in vitro experiments including Cell Counting Kit‑8, colony formation, Transwell invasion and vasculogenic mimicry formation assays. One of the target genes for miR‑126‑3p predicted by TargetScan was confirmed by luciferase activity assay. Results indicated that miR‑126‑3p expression was reduced in TNBC cell lines. Functional assays revealed that miR‑126‑3p overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, colony formation capacity and vasculogenesis by 1.2‑, 1.8‑, 2.3‑, 2.0‑ and 3.3‑fold, respectively, compared to the miRNA‑negative control group of MDA‑MB‑231 cells (P<0.001, respectively). In addition, the regulator of G‑protein signaling 3 (RGS3) was hypothesized and validated as a direct target of miR‑126‑3p in TNBC. The proliferation, migration, invasion, colony formation capacity and vasculogenesis of MDA‑MB‑231 cells were significantly increased by 1.4‑, 2.0‑, 1.8‑, 1.4‑ and 3.2‑fold, respectively, in cells transfected with pcDNA3.0‑RGS3 compared to pcDNA3.0‑negative control groups (P<0.001, respectively). The influence of miR‑126‑3p expression was reversed by RGS3 restoration. Collectively, the present study revealed that miR‑126‑3p plays a role as a tumor suppressor in regulating TNBC cell activities by targeting RGS3, indicating that the miR‑126‑3p/RGS3 axis may be a potential treatment target.
