    Abstract Introduction: Our goal was to systematically review the current evidence comparing the relative effectiveness of two maxillary sinus floor elevation (MSFE) approaches (internal and external) without bone grafts with that of conventional/grafted MSFE in patients undergoing implantation in the posterior maxilla.
    Material and methods: Medical databases (PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched for randomised controlled trials published between January 1980 and May 2023. A manual search of implant-related journals was also performed. Studies published in English that reported the clinical outcomes of MSFE with or without bone material were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook Risk Assessment Tool. Meta-analyses and trial sequence analyses were performed on the included trials. Meta-regression analysis was performed using pre-selected covariates to account for substantial heterogeneity. The certainty of evidence for clinical outcomes was assessed using GRADEpro GDT online (Guideline Development Tool).
    Results: Seventeen studies, including 547 sinuses and 696 implants, were pooled for the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed no statistically significant difference between MSFE without bone grafts and conventional MSFE in terms of the implant survival rate in the short term (
    Conclusions: This systematic review revealed that both non-graft and grafted MSFE had high implant survival rates. Owing to the moderate strength of the evidence and short-term follow-up, the results should be interpreted with caution.

    Abstract This study was conducted to determine the optimal doses and minimum effective concentrations (MECs) of tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) in marketable-size Asian seabass reared at two temperatures (22 and 28 °C). Serum biochemical parameters, pharmacokinetics, and tissue distributions of MS-222 following immersion at the determined optimal doses were also evaluated in order to delineate possible mechanisms dictating the temperature difference. The definition of optimal dose is set as the dose when fish attain stage III anesthesia within 5 min, sustain this stage for 3 min, and re-attain equilibrium within 5 min. The MEC is the fish serum MS-222 concentration when stage III anesthesia is reached. The results showed that water temperature exerted no or minimal impact on the designated parameters. The optimal doses at 22 and 28 °C were 140 and 150 µg/mL, while the MECs were 70.48 and 78.27 µg/mL, respectively. Fish exposed to the optimal doses of MS-222 had significantly elevated blood concentrations of lactate, glucose, calcium, magnesium, and sodium, while the blood pH was significantly decreased. The fish eliminated MS-222 faster at 28 °C than at 22 °C, with serum half-lives of 18.43 and 37.01 h, respectively. Tissue-specific distribution patterns were evident. Irrespective of water temperature, MS-222 peaked at 5 min for the brain and gill but peaked slightly later at 10-20 min for the liver and kidney. Most tissues exhibit a gradual decline of drug concentration except for the gill, which was maintained at a steady level. Muscle is the least perfused tissue with the lowest drug concentration throughout the 90 min period. This study provided physiological and pharmacokinetic evidence contributing to a better understanding of the actions of MS-222 in Asian seabass at different temperatures.

    Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common tumors in male. Castration-resistant PCa (CRPC) refers to the prostate malignancy with a PSA increase or imaging progression after androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), which is divided into metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) and non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC) based on the presence or absence of imaging metastasis. Two second-generation antiandrogens, enzuramide and abiraterone, were approved for the treatment of nmCRPC in 2018. A recently completed three-stage large-scale clinical ARAMIS trial shows that the new drug, darolutamide, compared with the placebo, could prolong the metastasis-free survival (MFS) of nmCRPC patients. Darolutamide is now an anti-androgen drug available for patients with nmCRPC. This review focuses on the clinical trial of darolutamide and comparison of its therapeutic effect with that of another two second-generation antiandrogens.

    Abstract This paper studies the use of a machine learning-based estimator as a control variate for mitigating the variance of Monte Carlo sampling. Specifically, we seek to uncover the key factors that influence the efficiency of control variates in reducing variance. We examine a prototype estimation problem that involves simulating the moments of a Sobolev function based on observations obtained from (random) quadrature nodes. Firstly, we establish an information-theoretic lower bound for the problem. We then study a specific quadrature rule that employs a nonparametric regression-adjusted control variate to reduce the variance of the Monte Carlo simulation. We demonstrate that this kind of quadrature rule can improve the Monte Carlo rate and achieve the minimax optimal rate under a sufficient smoothness assumption. Due to the Sobolev Embedding Theorem, the sufficient smoothness assumption eliminates the existence of rare and extreme events. Finally, we show that, in the presence of rare and extreme events, a truncated version of the Monte Carlo algorithm can achieve the minimax optimal rate while the control variate cannot improve the convergence rate.

    Abstract Biomaterial scaffolds, including bone substitutes, have evolved from being primarily a biologically passive structural element to one in which material properties such as surface topography and chemistry actively direct bone regeneration by influencing stem cells and the immune microenvironment. Ti-6Al-4V(Ti6Al4V) implants, with a significantly higher elastic modulus than human bone, may lead to stress shielding, necessitating improved stability at the bone-titanium alloy implant interface. Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (Ti2448), a low elastic modulus β-type titanium alloy devoid of potentially toxic elements, was utilized in this study. We employed 3D printing technology to fabricate a porous scaffold structure to further decrease the structural stiffness of the implant to approximate that of cancellous bone. Microarc oxidation (MAO) surface modification technology is then employed to create a microporous structure and a hydrophilic oxide ceramic layer on the surface and interior of the scaffold. In vitro studies demonstrated that MAO treatment enhances the proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenesis capabilities on the scaffold surface. The chemical composition of the MAO-Ti2448 oxide layer is found to enhance the transcription and expression of osteogenic genes in bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), potentially related to the enrichment of Nb

    Abstract Persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 31 and 33 is an important causative factor for cervical cancer. The E6/E7 genes are key oncogenes involved in the immortalization and transformation of human epithelial cells. Genetic polymorphism may lead to differences in the virus' carcinogenic potential, the immune reaction of the host, and the potencies of vaccines. Few studies on HPV31/33 E6/E7 genetic polymorphism have been carried out. To study the genetic polymorphism of HPV31 and HPV33 E6/E7 genes in northeast China, these genes (HPV31 E6/E7,

    Abstract Objectives: To preoperatively evaluate the human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) status in breast cancer using mammographic radiomics features and clinical characteristics on a multi-vendor and multi-center basis.
    Methods: This multi-center study included a cohort of 1512 Chinese female with invasive ductal carcinoma of no special type (IDC-NST) from two different hospitals and five devices (1332 from Institution A, used for training and testing the models, and 180 women from Institution B, as the external validation cohort). The Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) was employed to establish radiomics and multiomics models. Model efficacy was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC).
    Results: The number of HER2-positive patients in the training, testing, and external validation cohort were 245(26.3%), 105 (26.3.8%), and 51(28.3%), respectively, with no statistical differences among the three cohorts (p = 0.842, chi-square test). The radiomics model, based solely on the radiomics features, achieved an AUC of 0.814 (95% CI, 0.784-0.844) in the training cohort, 0.776 (95% CI, 0.727-0.825) in the testing cohort, and 0.702 (95% CI, 0.614-0.790) in the external validation cohort. The multiomics model, incorporated radiomics features with clinical characteristics, consistently outperformed the radiomics model with AUC values of 0.838 (95% CI, 0.810-0.866) in the training cohort, 0.788 (95% CI, 0.741-0.835) in the testing cohort, and 0.722 (95% CI, 0.637-0.811) in the external validation cohort.
    Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that a model based on radiomics features and clinical characteristics has the potential to accurately predict HER2 status of breast cancer patients across multiple devices and centers.
    Clinical relevance statement: By predicting the HER2 status of breast cancer reliably, the presented model built upon radiomics features and clinical characteristics on a multi-vendor and multi-center basis can help in bolstering the model's applicability and generalizability in real-world clinical scenarios.
    Key points: • The mammographic presentation of breast cancer is closely associated with the status of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). • The radiomics model, based solely on radiomics features, exhibits sub-optimal performance in the external validation cohort. • By combining radiomics features and clinical characteristics, the multiomics model can improve the prediction ability in external data.

    Abstract Surgical removal together with chemotherapy and radiotherapy has used to be the pillars of cancer treatment. Although these traditional methods are still considered as the first-line or standard treatments, non-operative situation, systemic toxicity or resistance severely weakened the therapeutic effect. More recently, synthetic biological nanocarriers elicited substantial interest and exhibited promising potential for combating cancer. In particular, bacteria and their derivatives are omnipotent to realize intrinsic tumor targeting and inhibit tumor growth with anti-cancer agents secreted and immune response. They are frequently employed in synergistic bacteria-mediated anticancer treatments to strengthen the effectiveness of anti-cancer treatment. In this review, we elaborate on the development, mechanism and advantage of bacterial therapy against cancer and then systematically introduce the bacteria-based nanoprobes against cancer and the recent achievements in synergistic treatment strategies and clinical trials. We also discuss the advantages as well as the limitations of these bacteria-based nanoprobes, especially the questions that hinder their application in human, exhibiting this novel anti-cancer endeavor comprehensively.
