    Abstract Objective: To introduce the research progress on the relationship between gut microbiota dysbiosis and osteoarthritis (OA), focus on the possible mechanism of gut microbiota dysbiosis promoting OA, and propose a new therapeutic direction.
    Methods: The domestic and foreign research literature on the relationship between gut microbiota dysbiosis and OA was reviewed. The role of the former in the occurrence and development of OA and the new ideas for the treatment of OA were summarized.
    Results: The gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes the development of OA mainly in three aspects. First, the gut microbiota dysbiosis destroys intestinal permeability and causes low-grade inflammation, which aggravate OA. Secondly, the gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes the development of OA through metabolic syndrome. Thirdly, the gut microbiota dysbiosis is involved in the development of OA by regulating the metabolism and transport of trace elements. Studies have shown that improving gut microbiota dysbiosis by taking probiotics and transplanting fecal microbiota can reduce systemic inflammation and regulate metabolic balance, thus treating OA.
    Conclusion: Gut microbiota dysbiosis is closely related to the development of OA, and improving gut microbiota dysbiosis can be an important idea for OA treatment.

    Abstract Background: The use of adjuvant first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) in patients with resected EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate the overall survival (OS) in patients with resected NSCLC.
    Methods: Relevant studies were identified from the PubMed and EMBASE databases, and pooled hazard risks were obtained by random-effects models.
    Results: Three prospective phase III and one phase II randomized controlled trials were identified, including a total of 839 patients who had undergone resection of EGFR-sensitive mutation in our analysis, 429 of whom received adjuvant first-generation TKIs therapy. For all patients with complete resection, adjuvant first-generation TKIs therapy was associated with improved disease-free survival (DFS) [hazard ratio (HR): 0.50, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.30-0. 82] but not OS (HR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.48-1.27) compared with adjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, we reconstructed the OS curves of the ADJUVANT and IMPACT studies, and the pooled 3- and 5-year OS rates of stage II-III patients in the TKI group and chemotherapy group were 80% vs. 79% and 66% vs. 64%, respectively. We also reconstructed the DFS curves based on the ADJUVANT, IMPACT, and EVIDENCE studies, and the pooled 1-, 3- and 5-year DFS rates of stage II-III patients in the TKI group and chemotherapy group were 87% vs. 70%, 49% vs. 37% and 28% vs. 29%, respectively.
    Conclusions: In patients with completely resected EGFR-mutant NSCLC, adjuvant first-generation TKIs may delay disease progression but still fail to improve long-term survival compared with conventional chemotherapy.

    Abstract Background: High-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) plays an important role in the treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer after definitive treatment. The objective of this study is to summarize the efficacy and toxicity of HDR-BT in these patients.
    Methods: We performed a systematic review of PubMed and EMBASE from inception to July 2023. The primary endpoint was relapse-free survival (RFS) in different subgroups, and the secondary endpoint was gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity. A semi-automated tool (WebPlotDigitizer) and a new Shiny application combined with R software (R: a language and environment for statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria; https://www.R-project.org/ ) helped to reconstruct survival curves.
    Results: Twenty-six studies met the inclusion criteria for quantitative analysis, including 1447 patients. A total of 761 patients from 13 studies were included in survival reconstruction, and the median RFS time was 61.2 months (57.6-72.0 months). The estimated 2‑, 3‑, and 5‑year rates were 75.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 72.8 ~ 79.2%), 66.7% (95% CI 63.0 ~ 70.5%), and 52.3% (95% CI 47.5 ~ 57.4%), respectively. Whole-gland irradiation with multiple fractions (≥ 2 F) resulted in better RFS compared with focal gland irradiation with fewer fractions (1 F mostly; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.60, 95% CI 0.47-0.77, p < 0.0001). According to the different median time from primary treatment to salvage therapy (TRS) and median age at recurrence, short median TRS (56-67.2 months vs. 70-120 months; HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.68-0.40; p < 0.0001) and younger median age (60-70 years vs. 71-75 years; HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.46-0.74; p < 0.0001) were positive factors for RFS. The cumulative incidences estimated for grade ≥ 3 acute and late GU toxicities were 1% (95% CI 0 ~ 1%) and 5% (95% CI 4 ~ 7%), respectively. Three patients (3/992) experienced grade ≥ 3 late GI toxicity, and no cases of grade ≥ 3 acute GI toxicity were reported.
    Conclusion: HDR-BT has a high safety profile and good RFS benefit for salvage treatment of radiorecurrent prostate cancer. In terms of RFS, whole-gland irradiation with multiple fractions seems to be better than focal gland irradiation with fewer fractions, while short TRS and younger age are good prognostic factors. In view of the low level of evidence in the included studies and the large heterogeneity of each study, these conclusions still need to be confirmed by randomized controlled trials.

    Abstract Numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in reducing chemoradiotherapy (CRT)-induced oral mucositis (OM) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Despite this, there is an urgent need to update the meta-analyses on this topic. This meta-analysis aims to explore the impact of PBMT on CRT-induced OM in these patients. We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, LILACS, and Web of Science from January 2000 to October 2023. This search focused on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the effects of PBMT on CRT-induced OM. The study included a total of 14 RCTs encompassing 869 patients with HNC. The incidence of OM in the PBMT group was significantly lower from the second week onwards compared to the control group (RR = 0.49, CI = 0.25-0.97, I

    Abstract Language assessment literacy (LAL) is a significant component of language teachers' expertise but is also a challenging task for most language teachers. To date, there have been relatively few studies examining the research on teachers' LAL during these decades. To fill this void, this article reviews the conceptualizations of LAL and relevant empirical studies published from 1991 to 2021. It first analyzes various conceptualizations of LAL. Then in examining the empirical studies on teachers' LAL, five major themes emerge: (i) teachers' LAL levels; (ii) factors influencing LAL; (iii) language teachers' assessment training needs; (iv) language assessment training courses; and (v) LAL development through reflection. Finally, future research directions on teachers' LAL are discussed.

    Abstract Objectives: To compare the efficiency of U100 laser and pneumatic ballistics combined with percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic lithotripsy (PTCSL) in the treatment of intra-and extrahepatic bile duct stones and their effects on liver function.
    Methods: Medical records of 97 patients with intra-and extrahepatic bile duct stones treated in our hospital from May 2020 to May 2021 were selected for retrospective analysis. Of them, forty-three patients received pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy combined with PTCSL (Group-I), and 54 patients received U100 laser lithotripsy combined with PTCSL (Group-II). The therapeutic effects of the treatment in two groups and its effect on liver function were compared and analyzed.
    Results: There was no significant difference in the operation time and intraoperative bleeding (P>0.05) between the two groups. The postoperative pain duration and hospital stay of patients treated with U100 laser lithotripsy combined with PTCSL (Group-II) were shorter than those treated with pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy combined with PTCSL (Group-I), P<0.05. The biliary bleeding rate of patients in Group-II was lower (3.70%) than those in Group-I (16.27%, P<0.05), and the stone residue rate of patients in Group-II was also lower (1.85%) than those in Group-I (11.63%, P<0.05). The levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and albumin (ALB) in Group-II patients were higher than in patients in Group-I.(P<0.05).
    Conclusion: Compared with pneumatic ballistics, U100 laser lithotripsy combined with PTCSL in the treatment of intra and extrahepatic bile duct stones has the advantages of less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, less biliary bleeding and stone residue, and less damage to liver function.

    Abstract Sepsis has a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection. While neutrophils play contradictory roles in different stages of sepsis. Neutrophils have been proven to play an antibacterial role by producing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Although the NET is beneficial to bacteria resistance, abnormal NET increases tissue damage. The complement C5a receptor 1 (C5ar1) is a gene related to strong inflammatory reactions and is found to be associated with inflammatory factors. This study found that there were 45 down-regulated genes and 704 up-regulated genes in sepsis rats by transcriptome sequencing. And those genes were significantly related to inflammation and immunity by GO and KEGG enrichment analysis involving the chemokine signaling pathway, the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway, and the Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis. Additionally, the C5ar1 gene was significantly upregulated with interesting potential in sepsis and used for further study. This study used cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) rats that were respectively injected intravenously with PBS or the lentivirus vector to explore the effect of C5ar1 on CLP rats. It demonstrated that silenced- C5ar1 inhibited the ALT, AST, BUN, and CREA levels, improved the lung and spleen injury, and reduced the TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-10, cf-DNA, and cfDNA/MPO levels. Additionally, silenced C5ar1 inhibited the TLR2, TLR4, and peptidylarginine deiminase 4 expression levels, which suggested the improvement of silenced C5ar1 on sepsis via inhibiting NETs and the TLR signaling pathway. This study provides a basis and new direction for the study of treatment on sepsis.

    Abstract Background: Sarcopenia has emerged as a significant public health concern. Uric acid (UA), as a metabolite with excellent antioxidant capacity, has been found to be associated with sarcopenia. However, the casual effects of UA on incident sarcopenia still remain unclear. Our study aimed to explore the longitudinal association between UA and incident sarcopenia among middle-aged and older adults.
    Method: A total of 5086 participants aged ≥45 years old without sarcopenia at baseline were included from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Due to the sex differences, the UA levels were analyzed by categorizing into sex-specific quartiles or by using UA levels as a continuous variable (per 1 mg/dL). The longitudinal association between UA and incident sarcopenia was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression models.
    Results: During the 4-year follow-up period, 552 (10.85%) participants with incident sarcopenia were identified, of which 370 cases were males and 182 cases were females. Compared to the first quartile (Q1) UA levels, the Q3 and Q4 UA levels were significantly associated with lower risk of incident sarcopenia in males (Q3: adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 0.72; 95% CI (confidence interval), 0.54-0.97; Q4: HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.41-0.80). When UA was as a continuous variable (per 1 mg/dL), the association in males remained significant (HR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.79-0.97). No significant association was observed in females.
    Conclusion: Our findings indicated that UA was negatively associated with incident sarcopenia in males but not in females among middle-aged and older Chinese.

    Abstract Accurately identifying the peripheral pain generator in patients with chronic pain remains a major challenge for modern medicine. Millions of patients around the world suffer endlessly from difficult-to-manage debilitating pain because of very limited diagnostic tests and a paucity of pain therapies. To help these patients, we have developed a novel clinical molecular imaging approach, and, in its early stages, it has been shown to accurately identify the exact site of pain generation using an imaging biomarker for the sigma-1 receptor and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging. We hope the description of the work in this article can help others begin their own pain imaging programs at their respective institutions.
