    Abstract In this article, the influence of shrinkage tensile stress in potting materials on the anti-overload performance of a circuit board was studied. Firstly, the phenomenon of shrinkage tensile stress in common potting materials was analyzed, and it was found that the commonly used potting adhesives displayed large shrinkage characteristics. Secondly, a small experiment was set up to verify that the shrinkage tensile stress of potting adhesives would lead to printed circuit board (PCB) deformation, and the shrinkage stress was contrary to the acceleration direction of overload. Thirdly, the influence of potting adhesives on the overload resistance of the PCB was analyzed. However, the shrinkage tensile stress in the potting adhesive weakened the anti-overload ability of the circuit board. When there was a small amount of expansion stress in the potting adhesive, the overload resistance of the circuit board could be partially increased. From the analysis, it is indicated that a material with a certain expansion property, elasticity, and dense structure should be selected as the potting adhesive. This article provides a reference for improving the overload resistance of electronic devices.

    Abstract The adaptive integrated guidance and control issue of missiles with less sensor requirement is investigated in the optimal stabilization problem of an uncertain nonlinear system subjected to state and input constraints. The nonlinear system with partially unmeasurable states is transformed into the non-strict feedback form, firstly. Then, an adaptive observer is designed to approximate the full states, where a disturbance estimator is incorporated to suppress the unmatched external disturbances. Next, by employing a Barrier Lyapunov Function (BLF) and an auxiliary system to tackle the multiple constraints, an adaptive feedforward controller is raised to reduce the stabilization issue of the nonlinear system in non-strict feedback form to the equivalent control problem of an affine nonlinear system. Subsequently, an optimal controller is derived by utilizing adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) theory. The system stability is rigorously proved by using Lyapunov theory. Finally, simulations are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

    Abstract Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and is a substantial public health problem. Screening for breast cancer mainly relies on mammography, which leads to false positives and missed diagnoses and is especially non-sensitive for patients with small tumors and dense breasts. The prognosis of breast cancer is mainly classified by tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging, but this method does not consider the molecular characteristics of the tumor. As the product of the immune response to tumor-associated antigens, autoantibodies can be detected in peripheral blood and can be used as noninvasive, presymptomatic, and low-cost biomarkers. Therefore, autoantibodies can provide a possible supplementary method for breast cancer screening and prognosis classification. This article introduces the methods used to detect peripheral blood autoantibodies and the research progress in the screening and prognosis of breast cancer made in recent years to provide a potential direction for the examination and treatment of breast cancer.

    Abstract Background: The frequency of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) surgery is presently increasing. Nonetheless, there is a paucity of long-term prognosis data on NSM. This study compared the long-standing prognosis of NSM in relation to breast-conserving surgery (BCS).
    Methods: Population-level data for 438,588 female breast cancer patients treated with NSM or BCS and postoperative radiation from 2000 to 2018 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database; 321 patients from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were also included. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce the influence of selection bias and confounding variables to make valid comparisons. The Kaplan-Meier analysis, log-rank test, and Cox regression were applied to analyze the data.
    Results: There were no significant differences in long-term survival rates between patients who underwent NSM and those who underwent BCS+radiotherapy (BCS+RT), as indicated by the lack of significant differences in overall survival (OS) (p = 0.566) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) (p = 0.431). Cox regression indicated that NSM and BCS+RT had comparable prognostic values (p = 0.286) after adjusting for other clinicopathological characteristics. For OS and BCSS, subgroup analysis showed that the majority of patients achieved an analogous prognosis whether they underwent NSM or BCS. The groups had comparable recurrence-free survival (RFS), with no significant difference found (p = 0.873).
    Conclusions: This study offers valuable insights into the long-term safety and comparative effectiveness of NSM and BCS in the treatment of breast cancer. These findings can assist clinicians in making informed decisions on a case-by-case basis.

    Abstract Background: In the context of breast cancer (BC), the correlation between lymphocytes and clinical outcomes, along with treatment response, has garnered attention. Despite this, few investigations have delved into the interplay among distinct peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) types, immune attributes, and their clinical implications within the BC landscape.
    Methods: The primary objective of this study was to scrutinize the baseline status of PBL subsets in patients with primary BC, track their dynamic changes throughout treatment, and ascertain their interrelation with prognosis. Flow cytometry was employed to analyse PBLs from a cohort of 74 BC patients.
    Results: Our analysis revealed that baseline levels of Treg and PD-L1 + T cells were lower in BC patients compared to the reference values. Notably, a disparity in baseline PD-L1 + T cell levels surfaced between patients who underwent adjuvant therapy and those subjected to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). Furthermore, a meticulous evaluation of PBL subsets before and after treatment underscored discernible alterations in 324 + T cells and CD19 + CD32 + B cells over the course of therapy. Strikingly, heightened CD4 + T cell levels at baseline were linked to enhanced event-free survival (EFS) (p = 0.02) and a robust response to chemotherapy.
    Conclusions: These results indicate that PBLs may serve as a significant marker to assess the immune status of BC patients, and therapy has the potential to modify patient immune profiles. In addition, peripheral blood CD4 + T cell levels may serve as promising biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in future studies of BC.

    Abstract Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MpBC) is considered a highly aggressive disease, the outcome of chemotherapy on small lesions (T1abcN0M0) MpBC patients remain unclear. We identified 890 female MpBC patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2000 to 2016. After propensity score matching (PSM), 584 patients were matched. Survival probability was compared among T1a, T1b, and T1c patients and between patients with and without chemotherapy using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard analysis. Significance was set at two-sided P < 0.05. We classified 49, 166, and 675 patients as T1a, T1b, and T1c MpBC, respectively. The chemotherapy group included 404 patients (45.4%). Following PSM, survival analysis indicated that the patients who underwent chemotherapy had higher OS (P = 0.0002) and BCSS (P = 0.0276) in the T1c substage, but no significant difference was detected in T1a or T1b patients. In this population-based study, small lesion MpBC showed a favorable prognosis. Chemotherapy improved the prognosis of T1c MpBC patients but not T1a and T1b patients to a beneficial extent. Our findings may offer novel insight into a therapeutic strategy for MpBC.

    Abstract Background: External beam radiotherapy (EBRT), an adjuvant to breast-conserving surgery (BCS), requires a long treatment period, is costly, and is associated with numerous complications. Large sample studies with long follow-up periods are lacking regarding whether intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), an emerging radiotherapy modality, can replace EBRT for patients with T1-2 early stage breast cancer without lymph node metastasis treated with BCS.
    Methods: We identified 270,842 patients with T1-2N0M0 breast cancer from 2000 to 2018 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. A total of 10,992 patients were matched by propensity score matching (PSM). According to the radiotherapy method, the patients were divided into the IORT and EBRT groups. Overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) rates were analyzed and compared between the IORT and EBRT groups by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Bilateral
    Results: After PSM, the survival analysis showed no significant differences in OS or BCSS rates between the IORT and EBRT groups. In the subgroup analysis, the IORT population diagnosed from 2010 to 2013 (HRs = 0.675, 95% CI 0.467-0.976,
    Conclusion: Intraoperative radiotherapy results of non-inferior OS and BCSS rates, compared to those of EBRT, in patients with early stage breast cancer without lymph node metastasis treated with BCS, and IORT may provide substantial benefits to patients as an effective alternative to standard treatment. This finding provides new insights into radiotherapy strategies for early stage breast cancer.

    Abstract To explore the clinical role of QPRT in breast cancer. The gene expression, methylation levels and prognostic value of QPRT in breast cancer was analyzed using TCGA data. Validation was performed using the data from GEO dataset and TNMPLOT database. Meta analysis method was used to pool the survival data for QPRT. The predictive values of QPRT for different drugs were retrieved from the ROC plot. The expression differences of QPRT in acquired drug-resistant and sensitive cell lines were analyzed using GEO datasets. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted for those genes which were highly co-expressed with QPRT in tissue based on TCGA data and which changed after QPRT knockdown. Timer2.0 was utilized to explore the correlation between QPRT and immune cells infiltration, and the Human Protein Atlas was used to analyse QPRT's single-cell sequencing data across different human tissues. The expression of QPRT in different types of macrophages, and the expression of QPRT were analysed after coculturing HER2+ breast cancer cells with macrophages. Additionally, TargetScan, Comparative Toxicogenomics and the connectivity map were used to research miRNAs and drugs that could regulate QPRT expression. Cytoscape was used to map the interaction networks between QPRT and other proteins. QPRT was highly expressed in breast cancer tissue and highly expressed in HER2+ breast cancer patients (P < 0.01). High QPRT expression levels were associated with worse OS, DMFS, and RFS (P < 0.01). Two sites (cg02640602 and cg06453916) were found to be potential regulators of breast cancer (P < 0.01). QPRT might predict survival benefits in breast cancer patients who received taxane or anthracycline. QPRT was associated with tumour immunity, especially in macrophages. QPRT may influence the occurrence and progression of breast cancer through the PI3K-AKT signalling pathway, Wnt signalling pathway, and cell cycle-related molecules.

    Abstract Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT/hTERT) serves as the pivotal catalytic subunit of telomerase, a crucial enzyme responsible for telomere maintenance and human genome stability. The high activation of hTERT, observed in over 90% of tumors, plays a significant role in tumor initiation and progression. An in-depth exploration of hTERT activation mechanisms in cancer holds promise for advancing our understanding of the disease and developing more effective treatment strategies. In breast cancer, the expression of hTERT is regulated by epigenetic, transcriptional, post-translational modification mechanisms and DNA variation. Besides its canonical function in telomere maintenance, hTERT exerts non-canonical roles that contribute to disease progression through telomerase-independent mechanisms. This comprehensive review summarizes the regulatory mechanisms governing hTERT in breast cancer and elucidates the functional implications of its activation. Given the overexpression of hTERT in most breast cancer cells, the detection of hTERT and its associated molecules are potential for enhancing early screening and prognostic evaluation of breast cancer. Although still in its early stages, therapeutic approaches targeting hTERT and its regulatory molecules show promise as viable strategies for breast cancer treatment. These methods are also discussed in this paper. Video Abstract.
