Assessment of the Feasibility of Objective Parameters as Primary End Points for Patients Affected by Knee Osteoarthritis: Protocol for a Pilot, Open Noncontrolled Trial (:SMILE:).
BACKGROUND
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disabling condition that affects more than one-third of people older than 65 years. Currently, 80% of these patients report movement limitations, 20% are unable to perform major activities of daily living, and approximately 11% require personal care. In 2014, the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) recommended, as the first step in the pharmacological treatment of knee osteoarthritis, a background therapy with chronic symptomatic slow-acting osteoarthritic drugs such as glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. The latter has been extensively evaluated in clinical trials as intra-articular and oral administration. Recent reviews have shown that studies on oral hyaluronic acid generally measure symptoms using only subjective parameters, such as visual analog scales or quality of life questionnaires. As a result, objective measures are lacking, and data validity is generally impaired.
OBJECTIVE
The main goal of this pilot study with oral hyaluronic acid is to evaluate the feasibility of using objective tools as outcomes to evaluate improvements in knee mobility. We propose ultrasound and range of motion measurements with a goniometer that could objectively correlate changes in joint mobility with pain reduction, as assessed by the visual analog scale. The secondary objective is to collect data to estimate the time and budget for the main double-blind study randomized trial. These data may be quantitative (such as enrollment rate per month, number of screening failures, and new potential outcomes) and qualitative (such as site logistical issues, patient reluctance to enroll, and interpersonal difficulties for investigators).
METHODS
This open-label pilot and feasibility study is conducted in an orthopedic clinic (Timisoara, Romania). The study includes male and female participants, aged 50-70 years, who have been diagnosed with symptomatic knee OA and have experienced mild joint discomfort for at least 6 months. Eight patients must be enrolled and treated with Syalox 300 Plus (River Pharma) for 8 weeks. It is a dietary supplement containing high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, which has already been marketed in several European countries. Assessments are made at the baseline and final visits.
RESULTS
Recruitment and treatment of the 8 patients began on February 15, 2018, and was completed on May 25, 2018. Data analysis was planned to be completed by the end of 2018. The study was funded in February 2019. We expect the results to be published in a peer-reviewed clinical journal in the last quarter of 2024.
CONCLUSIONS
The data from this pilot study will be used to assess the feasibility of a future randomized clinical trial in OA. In particular, the planned outcomes (eg, ultrasound and range of motion), safety, and quantitative and qualitative data must be evaluated to estimate in advance the time and budget required for the future main study. Finally, the pilot study should provide preliminary information on the efficacy of the investigational product.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides promising prognostic imaging biomarkers for future disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, raw OCT-derived measures have multiple dependencies, supporting the need for establishing reference values adjusted for possible confounders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the capacity for age-adjusted scores of OCT-derived measures to prognosticate future disease activity and disability worsening in people with MS (PwMS).
METHODS
We established age-adjusted OCT reference data using generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape for peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIP) thicknesses, involving 910 and 423 healthy eyes, respectively. Next, we transformed the retinal layer thickness of PwMS from 3 published studies into age-adjusted scores (pRNFL-z and GCIP-z) based on the reference data. Finally, we investigated the association of pRNFL-z or GCIP-z as predictors with future confirmed disability worsening (Expanded Disability Status Scale score increase) or disease activity (failing of the no evidence of disease activity [NEDA-3] criteria) as outcomes. Cox proportional hazards models or logistic regression analyses were applied according to the original studies. Optimal cutoffs were identified using the Akaike information criterion as well as location with the log-rank and likelihood-ratio tests.
RESULTS
In the first cohort (n = 863), 172 PwMS (24%) had disability worsening over a median observational period of 2.0 (interquartile range [IQR]:1.0-3.0) years. Low pRNFL-z (≤-2.04) were associated with an increased risk of disability worsening (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) [95% CI] = 2.08 [1.47-2.95], 3.82e). In the second cohort (n = 170), logistic regression analyses revealed that lower pRNFL-z showed a higher likelihood for disability accumulation at the two-year follow-up (reciprocal odds ratio [95% CI] = 1.51[1.06-2.15], = 0.03). In the third cohort (n = 78), 46 PwMS (59%) did not maintain the NEDA-3 status over a median follow-up of 2.0 (IQR: 1.9-2.1) years. PwMS with low GCIP-z (≤-1.03) had a higher risk of showing disease activity (aHR [95% CI] = 2.14 [1.03-4.43], = 0.04). Compared with raw values with arbitrary cutoffs, applying the score approach with optimal cutoffs showed better performance in discrimination and calibration (higher Harrell's concordance index and lower integrated Brier score).
DISCUSSION
In conclusion, our work demonstrated reference cohort-based scores that account for age, a major driver for disease progression in MS, to be a promising approach for creating OCT-derived measures useable across devices and toward individualized prognostication.

Observational Study
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, especially antisynthetase syndrome, often appear outside of the muscles as interstitial lung disease (ILD). Another typical finding is the presence of mechanic's hands. The aim of the present study was to describe the clinical, functional, tomographic, and serological data of patients with ILD and mechanic's hands and their response to treatment and survival rates. This is a retrospective study of ILD with concurrent myopathy. Among the 119 patients initially selected, 51 had mechanic's hands. All the patients were screened for anti-Jo-1 antibodies. An expanded panel of myopathy autoantibodies was also performed in 27 individuals. Of the 51 patients, 35 had 1 or more antibodies. The most common were anti-Jo-1, anti-PL-7, and anti-PL-12, while of the associated antibodies, anti-Ro52 was present in 70% of the 27 tested individuals. A significant response to treatment was characterized by an increase in predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) of at least 5% in the last evaluation done after 6 to 24 months of treatment. A decrease in predicted FVC of at least 5%, the need for oxygen therapy, or death were all considered treatment failures. All patients were treated with corticosteroids, and 71% with mycophenolate. After 24 months, 18 patients had an increase in FVC, 11 had a decrease, and 22 remained stable. After a median follow-up of 58 months, 48 patients remained alive and three died. Patients with honeycombing on high-resolution chest tomography (log-rank = 34.65; P < .001) and a decrease in FVC ≥5% (log-rank = 18.28, P < .001) had a poorer survival rate. Patients with ILD and mechanic's hands respond well to immunosuppressive treatment.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a chronic cholestatic liver condition, is frequently associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Specific immune cells have been implicated in PSC pathogenesis with the emergence of the "microbiota" and "gut lymphocyte homing" hypotheses, albeit their identities remain controversial. The first genome-wide association analysis leveraged nonoverlapping data from 3757 Europeans to evaluate 731 immunophenotypes. A genome-wide association analysis comprising 2871 cases and 12,019 controls yielded summary statistics for PSC. An inverse-variance weighted (IVW) analysis was performed to identify immunophenotypes causally related to PSC, and the results were validated using weighted mode, MR-Egger, and weighted median methods. Comprehensive sensitivity analyses were performed to verify the robustness, heterogeneity, and horizontal pleiotropy of the results. IVW analysis revealed 26 immune traits exhibiting causal associations with PSC. CD3 on HLA-DR+ CD4+ (IVW odds ratio [OR]: 0.904; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.828-0.986, P = .023) and CD3 on secreting Treg (IVW OR: 0.893; 95% CI: 0.823-0.969, P = .007) were negatively associated with PSC susceptibility and demonstrated high consistency across the 3 validation methods. Moreover, 7 other immune traits, including CD39+ resting Treg absolute cell (IVW OR = 1.083, 95% CI: 1.013-1.157, P = .019), CD39+ secreting Treg absolute cell (IVW OR = 1.063, 95% CI: 1.012-1.118, P = .015), CD3 on naive CD8br (IVW OR = 0.907, 95% CI: 0.835-0.986, P = .022), CD3 on CD39+ activated Treg (IVW OR = 0.927, 95% CI: 0.864-0.994, P = .034), CD28 on resting Treg (IVW OR = 0.724, 95% CI: 0.630-0.833, P = 5.95E-06), and CD39 on CD39+ CD4+ (IVW OR = 1.055, 95% CI: 1.001-1.112, P = .044) exhibited consistent results in the Weighted Median and Weighted Mode validation methods. Moreover, no significant heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy was observed across the single nucleotide polymorphisms. The leave-one-out results revealed that sequentially eliminating each single nucleotide polymorphism had no significant influence on model effect estimates or qualitative inference. This study evaluated potential causal links between 731 immune traits and PSC susceptibility. Twenty-six immune traits were identified using the IVW method. Verification across multiple methods revealed 9 immune traits with a plausible causal connection to PSC. These findings may uncover mechanistic pathways and novel therapeutic approaches.

Observational Study
This is a prospective cohort study to investigate the effects of instrumented lumbar fusion surgery on psychiatric problems, including anxiety, insomnia, and depression, in patients with degenerative spinal stenosis, as well as on pain and the activities of daily living. Surgery was performed in the patients with Schizas grade C or D spinal stenosis with; if a patient's quality of life was impaired for at least 3 months or if patient had neurologic deficits. Finally, 69 patients were reviewed. Beck anxiety inventory, insomnia severity index, geriatric depression scale short form-Korean, visual analog scale for back pain, visual analog scale for leg pain, and Oswestry disability index was measured on the day surgery was decided on (T1), the day before surgery (T2), the day before discharge (T3), and 6 months after surgery (T4). The patients had mild degrees of anxiety, insomnia, and depression at T1, and Beck anxiety inventory, insomnia severity index, visual analog scale for back pain, visual analog scale for leg pain, and Oswestry disability index improved significantly by T4. In elderly patients with degenerative spinal stenosis, instrumented lumbar fusion surgery improves not only pain and activities of daily living, but also anxiety and insomnia. However, there was no improvement in depression over the 6-month follow-up period.

Review
RATIONALE
Thyroglossal duct carcinoma, a rare clinical condition characterized by ectopic thyroid adenocarcinoma within thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs), typically confirmed through intraoperative rapid pathology, this condition generally has a favorable prognosis. Nevertheless, comprehensive treatment guidelines across all disease stages are lacking, the purpose of this study is to report 1 case of the disease and propose the treatment plan for each stage of the disease.
PATIENT CONCERNS
A patient presented with thyroid swelling, classified as C-TIRADS 4A following a physical examination. Preoperative thyroid puncture identified papillary thyroid carcinoma, and genetic testing revealed a BRAF gene exon 15-point mutation. Ancillary tests showed a slightly decreased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level (0.172) with no other significant abnormalities.
DIAGNOSES
Preoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) confirmed right-side thyroid cancer. Intraoperative exploration uncovered a TGDC and intraoperative rapid pathology confirmed thyroglossal duct carcinoma.
INTERVENTIONS
A Sistrunk operation and ipsilateral thyroidectomy were performed.
OUTCOMES
Postoperative recovery was satisfactory.
LESSONS
Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is a rare disease affecting the neck. Due to limited clinical cases and the favorable prognosis associated with this condition, there is currently no established set of diagnostic and treatment guidelines. According to tumor size, lymph node metastasis, thyroid status and other factors, the corresponding treatment methods were established for each stage of thyroglossal duct cancer, which laid the foundation for the subsequent treatment development of this disease.

Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
Chaihu-Shugan-San (CSS), a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula, has been widely used for treating depression since the Ming Dynasty, as recorded in Jingyue Quanshu, but its effectiveness and safety lack comprehensive and objective evaluation. Based on our meta-analysis, we aimed to adequately evaluate the efficacy and risk of CSS by considering the latest clinical literature.
METHODS
Multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP, and Wanfang, were used to collect clinical data. The quality of the included clinical studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool, and the data were meta-analyzed using Review Manager 5.0 and Stata 17. The data were obtained from a genome-wide association study, and Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed using R Software 4.3.2 with the TwoSampleMR and MR Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier packages.
RESULTS
A total of 15 studies with 1034 patients and 6 antidepressant drugs were included in this work. Meta-analyses revealed that drug combinations of CSS and antidepressants significantly improved depressive symptoms (weighted mean difference = -4.21; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -5.62--2.81), increased the effective rate (odds ratio [OR] = 3.82; 95% CI: 2.44-6.83), and reduced side effects (OR = -3.55; 95% CI: -5.66--1.43) compared with antidepressant monotherapy. Additionally, compared with antidepressant monotherapy, CSS alone exhibited fewer side effects (95% CI:-9.25--6.95). Like antidepressants, CSS also improved depressive symptoms (weighted mean difference = -0.05; 95% CI: -0.63--0.52) and increased the effective rate (OR = 1.07; 95% CI: 0.52-2.20). Additionally, MR was used to evaluate the safety of traditional antidepressants, as there was a causal association between amitriptyline and body mass index.
CONCLUSION
This analysis demonstrated that compared with traditional antidepressants, CSS combined with antidepressants was more effective and safer for treating depressed patients. MR showed that a causal relationship may exist between amitriptyline and body mass index. Therefore, clinicians should carefully consider the advantages and potential drawbacks of Traditional Chinese Medicine and classic drugs to serve patients better.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a cardiovascular disease that seriously threatens human health and brings huge economic burden. At present, its pathogenesis remains unclear and its treatment is limited to surgical treatment. With the deepening and analysis of studies on the mechanism of ferroptosis, a new idea has been provided for the clinical management of AAA patients, including diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Therefore, this paper aims to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory axis based on ferroptosis to preliminarily explore the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of AAA. We obtained upregulated and downregulated ferroptosis-related DEGs (FRGs) from GSE144431 dataset and 60 known ferroptosis-related genes. Pearson correlation analysis was used to find aldoketone reductase 1C (AKR1C1) in AAA samples. Enrichment analysis of these genes was performed via Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Correlation test between immune cells and AKR1C1 was investigated through single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). The AKR1C1-miRNA pairs were predicted by the TargetScan database and miRWalk database. Circular RNA (CircRNA)-miRNA pairs were selected by the CircInteractome database. Overlapping miRNA between circRNA-miRNA and AKR1C1-miRNA pairs was visualized by Venn diagram. Finally, the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis was constructed by searching for upstream circRNA and downstream mRNA of overlapping miRNA. Only one downregulated AKR1C1 gene was found in GSE144431 and 60 ferroptosis-related genes. Functional Enrichment and Pathway Analysis of AKR1C1-related genes were further explored, and it was observed that they were mainly enriched in "response to oxidative stress," "glutathione biosynthetic process" and "nonribosomal peptide biosynthetic process," "Ferroptosis," "Glutathione metabolism" and "Chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species." They were also found to be significantly associated with most immune cells, including Activated Dendritic cells, CD56dim Natural killer cells, Gamma Delta T cells, Immature B cells, Plasmacytoid dendritic cell, Type 2 T helper cell, Activated CD4 T cell and Type 1 T helper cell. Has_circ_0005073-miRNA-543 and AKR1C1-miRNA-543 were identified by Online Database analysis. Therefore, we have established the has_circ_0005073/miRNA-543/AKR1C1 axis in AAA. We found AKR1C1 was differentially expressed between normal and AAA groups. Based on AKR1C1, we constructed the has_circ_0005073/miRNA-543/AKR1C1 axis to analyze AAA.

This study aimed to investigate immune score and stromal score-related signatures associated with preeclampsia (PE) and identify key genes for diagnosing PE using bioinformatics analysis. Four microarray datasets, GSE75010, GSE25906, GSE44711, and GSE10588 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. GSE75010 was utilized for differential expressed gene (DEGs) analysis. Subsequently, bioinformatic tools such as gene ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, weighted gene correlation network analysis, and gene set enrichment analysis were employed to functionally characterize candidate target genes involved in the pathogenesis of PE. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression approach was employed to identify crucial genes and develop a predictive model. This method also facilitated the creation of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, enabling the evaluation of the model's precision. Furthermore, the model underwent external validation through the other three datasets. A total of 3286 DEGs were identified between normal and PE tissues. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses revealed enrichments in functions related to cell chemotaxis, cytokine binding, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. weighted gene correlation network analysis identified 2 color modules strongly correlated with immune and stromal scores. After intersecting DEGs with immune and stromal-related genes, 13 genes were selected and added to the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. Ultimately, 7 genes were screened out to establish the risk model for discriminating preeclampsia from controls, with each gene having an area under the ROC curve >0.70. The constructed risk model demonstrated that the area under the ROC curves in internal and the other three external datasets were all greater than 0.80. A 7-gene risk signature was identified to build a potential diagnostic model and performed well in the external validation group for PE patients. These findings illustrated that immune and stromal cells played essential roles in PE during its progression.

BACKGROUND
Ferroptosis was reported to possess the therapeutic potentials in various human cancers. In the present study, we explored the expression, clinical significance and the molecular mechanism of FK506 binding protein 3 (FKBP3) in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
MATERIAL AND METHOD
Cox regression was performed to obtain the prognosis related to differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in LUAD datasets from TCGA. We also downloaded the ferroptosis-related gene datasets from GeneCards. Venn diagram was performed to find the intersecting genes and FKBP3 was selected as the targeted gene by analyzing the diagnostic and prognostic values of Top10 intersecting genes. Moreover, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the association between clinicopathological factors and survival rates. GO/KEGG and GSEA analysis was performed to explore the function of FKBP3 in LUAD progression. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was performed via STRING database and the top10 hub genes were selected. Finally, the relationship between FKBP3 and immune infiltration was explored by ssGSEA analysis.
RESULTS
Firstly, 184 genes associated with the prognosis of LUAD and ferroptosis were obtained. FKBP3 was found to be significantly associated with a poor overall survival rate of LUAD patients. Immunohistochemical staining results showed that FKBP3 was highly located in cytoplasm and membrane of cells in LUAD tissues. PPI network analysis results showed that HDAC1, YY1, HDAC2, MTOR, PSMA3, PIN1, NCL, C14orf166, PIN4, and LARP6 were the top10 hub genes. Furthermore, spearman analysis results showed that the expression of FKBP3 was positively correlated with the abundance of Th2 cells and T helper cells.
CONCLUSION
High level of FKBP3 was associated with poor prognostic outcomes of LUAD patients, which also inhibited immune infiltration in LUAD tissues. Additionally, FKBP3 was involved in regulating the ferroptosis process in LUAD patients. Thus, FKBP3 possessed the tumor promotion role might be involving in regulating ferroptosis and immune infiltration in LUAD progression.
