    Abstract Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of TNIK regulating actin cytoskeleton morphology in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, and determine its effects on the proliferation and apoptosis of the cancer cells when combined with mitosis-targeted drug. Methods RNA sequencing data were profiled to screen differentially expressed genes in the A549 cells with TNIK stable knockdown, and the expression of genes related to actin cytoskeleton assembly was subsequently detected. RT-PCR, Western blotting, and double immunofluorescence staining were preformed to analyze the molecular mechanism of TNIK regulating the assembly of actin-microtubule cytoskeleton system. Moreover, A549 cells with TNIK knockdown were treated with targeted antimitotic chemotherapeutic agent, paclitaxel, to observe the growth and apoptosis of the cancer cells. Results RNA-seq showed that the differentially expressed genes after TNIK knockdown were closely associated with mitotic progression. Further analysis revealed that TNIK knockdown significantly inhibited the expression of Rho pathway related genes including RhoA/B, ROCK1/2 and LIMK1 at the transcriptional level (P < 0.01), but had no obvious effect on the expression of Rac and CDC42 pathway related genes. Immunofluorescence assay indicated that TNIK knockdown resulted in abnormal mitosis and morphology in actin cytoskeleton system. As compared with the control cells, paclitaxel treatment decreased the proliferation (P < 0.01) while improved the apoptotic rate (P < 0.01) in TNIK knockdown cells. Conclusion TNIK regulates the morphology of actin-microtubule cytoskeleton system in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells through the Rho/ROCK/LIMK1 pathway, and TNIK knockdown can enhance the efficiency of mitosis-targeted chemotherapeutic drug.

    Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is a tumor characterized by high incidence and mortality, with metastasis being the primary cause of poor prognosis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an important intercellular communication medium. They contain bioactive substances such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. EVs play a crucial biological role in the process of GC metastasis. Through mechanisms such as remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME), immune suppression, promoting angiogenesis, and facilitating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesothelial-mesenchymal transition (MMT), EVs promote invasion and metastasis in GC. Further exploration of the biological roles of EVs will contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying GC metastasis and may provide novel targets and strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of GC. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms by which EVs influence GC metastasis from four aspects: remodeling the TME, modulating the immune system, influencing angiogenesis, and modulating the processes of EMT and MMT. Finally, we briefly summarized the organotropism of GC metastasis as well as the potential and limitations of EVs in GC.

    Abstract Background: Postoperative mortality plays an important role in evaluating the surgical safety of esophagectomy. Although postoperative mortality after esophagectomy is partly influenced by the yearly hospital surgical case volume (hospital volume), this association remains unclear.
    Methods: Studies assessing the association between hospital volume and postoperative mortality in patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer were searched for eligibility. Odds ratios were pooled for the highest versus lowest categories of hospital volume using a random effects model. The dose-response association between hospital volume and the risk of postoperative mortality was analyzed. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO.
    Results: Fifty-six studies including 385 469 participants were included. A higher-volume hospital significantly reduced the risk of postesophagectomy mortality by 53% compared with their lower-volume counterparts (odds ratio, 0.47; 95% CI: 0.42-0.53). Similar results were found in subgroup analyses. Volume-outcome analysis suggested that postesophagectomy mortality rates remained roughly stable after the hospital volume reached a plateau of 45 esophagectomies per year.
    Conclusions: Higher-volume hospitals had significantly lower postesophagectomy mortality rates in patients with esophageal cancer, with a threshold of 45 esophagectomies per year for a high-volume hospital. This remarkable negative correlation showed the benefit of a better safety in centralization of esophagectomy to a high-volume hospital.

    Abstract Extractive distillation has great significance for the separation of ethylbenzene from C 8 aromatic hydrocarbons. Herein, a distillation process for the separation of ethylbenzene was designed using methyl phenylacetate as an extractant. A genetic algorithm (GA) was used to evaluate the economic and environmental factors of the process, and Aspen Dynamic was used to assess the dynamic performance. The sequential optimization method was used to obtain the initial process parameters. Then, the total annual cost and CO 2 emissions were minimized by NSGA-III to increase the economic and environmental benefits. To enhance the search performance of GA, the mutation probability and crossover probability were studied and adjusted. The optimal total annual cost and CO 2 emissions were 11.7% and 23.7% lower than those of the initial process. Based on a steady process, two control strategies, which were the flow rate of the recycling solvent controlled by entrainer makeup flow rate (CS1) and the bottom flow rate of the extractant recovery column (CS2), were designed. The results showed that the temperature deviation of CS2 was smaller than that of CS1, and the temperature of the process was more stable under the control of CS2.

    Abstract Background: It remains controversial whether esophageal cancer patients may benefit from esophagectomy in specialized high-volume hospitals. Here, the effect of hospital volume on overall survival (OS) of esophageal cancer patients post esophagectomy was assessed.
    Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for relevant published articles between January 1990 and May 2022. The primary outcome was OS after esophagectomy in high- vs. low-volume hospitals. Random effect models were applied for all meta-analyses. Subgroup analysis were performed based on volume grouping, sample size, study country, year of publication, follow-up or study quality. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using the leave-one-out method. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the study quality. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidance, and was registered (identifier: INPLASY202270023).
    Results: A total of twenty-four studies with 113,014 patients were finally included in the meta-analysis. A significant improvement in OS after esophagectomy was observed in high-volume hospitals as compared to that in their low-volume counterparts (HR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.71-0.84,
    Conclusions: Esophageal cancer should be centralized in high-volume hospitals.
