"This is a very comprehensive, well researched report. The patient was fortunate to have such a million dollar workup and thoughtful follow up. I have only two constructive comments to make. Firstly, a more professional presentation of the EKGs would have been helpful. Magnification of the recovery tracings would enable better presentation of the Q-T interval Secondly, the paper's discussion is too technical for most practicing cardiologists to appreciate. While the conclusions are understandable, the methodology is too complex for a "clinical" journal."

"Technically, a convincing contribution. Albeit the side comment on the problems with sorting cells using LGR5-antibodies might be of interest to many paople considering LGR5 as the holy grale of intestinal cancer stemness. Another puzzling technical issue is the lack of information on STR-testing of the used cell line clones - they were originally from the ATCC, but only indirectly since in the Acknowledgements, the authors thank Professor McGuckin. Especially when analyzing cell line individual features, the lack of this information diminishes it's usefullness for many scientific nit-pickers like me. I would like to add an alternative interpretation of these, and many similar results on stem cells in CRC cell lines: the fact that LGR5 negative cells and cell lines regularly grow nicely in vitro and when carefully looking on the in vivo data of this manuscript often also in vivo, is regularly ignored by many researchers. The same is in our experience also true for many other of the candidate tumor stem cell markers and even for the funcitonally more convincing side population (classically done by Hoechst staining). Thus, the true level of plasticity in CRC cells is in biological reality most likely indeed very high! Part of this complexity has been adressed in the last part of the discussion - which was a pleasure to read. "

"I recognize that LGR5 and BMI1 are representative intestinal stem cell (ISC) markers. At the same time, LGR5 and BMI1 are also known to colorectal cancer stem cell (CSC) markers. This report referred to the cancer stem cells, using famous two cell lines: Caco-2 and Lovo. Therefore, the authors should discuss the relation between colorectal CSCs and LGR5 more in detail in Introduction and discussion. Moreover, the authors did not refer to the relation between colorectal CSCs and BMI1 at all. In contrast, the authors should reduce amount of the description about the relation between ISCs and Lgr5. ISCs did not relate with the main stream of the report. In discussion, the authors should discuss about underling mechanisms why LGR5-negative cells of Lovo could have stemness nature. For examples, RNA-seq from EYFP-positive or EYFP-negative cells of Lovo could help the understanding of different gene expression profile of CSCs and non-CSCs. Regarding Cell culture, the authors should confirm the possibility of mycoplasma infection. Regarding Figure 1I and 1J, I was concerned about stemness properties of LGR5-negative (EYFP-negative) tumor cells. In Figure 1I and 1J, the number of LGR5-negative cells increased day by day. The finding mean that LGR5-negative cells also had a capacity of producing their descendant (LGR5-negative) cells. Therefore, the authors should compare the productivity of daughter cells of LGR5-positive and LGR5-negtive cells (e.g. MTT assay). Regarding Figure 2, the authors confused ISC markers and CSC markers. The authors should refer to OLFM4, TERT…, as CSC markers, not as ISC markers. And they should displaye the number of samples. Regarding Figure4, the number of samples was too small (n = 3). The authors should perform xenograft experiments enough times to make a statistics analysis."

"It is an interesting study that the potential role of CXCL12 isoforms enhancing the metastatic tendency of pancreatic cancer was confirmed. It is wondering if three CXCL12 isotypes have differently interacted with CXCR4 in pancreatic cancer cells."

"This review summarized the latest findings that COVID-19 exacerbate liver damage of liver diseases and the latest treatment recommendations for these kinds of patient. This review first pointed out that the SARS-CoV-2 infection caused a large proportion of patients with liver function abnormalities, and the patients with pre-existing liver disease (ALD, NAFLD, HBV or HCV infection) were more susceptible to the COVID-19 induced liver damage or drug-induced liver damage during the treatment. On the other hand, the author further proposed the mechanism of liver damage in this process, such as direct virus damage, cytokine storm, coagulative and fibrinolytic pathways. Finally, the author also listed the current recommendations for diagnosing and treating COVID-19 infection, in particular, for patients with pre-existing liver disease. However, there are also some ambiguities. For example, some of the data in Figure 1 showed the liver function abnormalities after COVID-19 infection, and others were the data about the liver damage in patients with pre-existing liver disease after COVID-19 infection."

"The authors seem to deal with an important topic carrying on HCV cure in pediatric patient. The study rational, aim and research motivation are relevant and enough well stated. The bibliographic search method seems to be omitted as well as the search date or period. The findings and/or conclusion answer to the study aim to a degree: “No pediatric studies with the children completing the DAA therapy has revealed evidence of children being unresponsive to DAA therapies. However, for patients with evidence of high-grade fibrosis or cirrhosis, they are still at high risk of developing HCC even after achieving SVR. Solid organ transplant from HCV infected recipients appears to be safe, is associated with excellent outcomes, and should be considered for recipients who would benefit from receiving an organ earlier than they would if they waited for an organ from an uninfected donor. Thus, reducing wait-list associated mortality. While no studies has been performed, based on the efficacy of DAA therapy in children, using HCV-infected donors should be an option. As children will now have access to DAA therapies and potential HCV cure, it is imperative that diagnosis and treatment of this population is not overlooked. A related issue is for patients with chronic liver disease to avoid COVID-19 exposure and infection, by educating patients/parents on the risk and the recommended precautions cure, it is imperative that diagnosis and treatment of this population is not overlooked. This is especially true in rare cases of children with cirrhosis or end stage liver disease secondary to HCV, as there appears to be a higher risk of a severe course of COVID-19. This pandemic should not be a hindrance to continuing the goal of eradication of HCV in the pediatric population. Enhanced screening and awareness efforts and continued education of healthcare providers will improve the outcomes of HCV infection in the pediatric population”. This review may be an informative and useful document for students, clinicians and researchers a fortiori those working in pediatric or hepatology field. However we have some observations to make: The authors noticed in Page 6-13: 1. “Introduction”: you noticed “Non- , Non-B Hepatitis”. I think that you omitted the “A” related to hepatitis A. You should write Non-A,….”. 2. “Epidemiology”: you noticed “All 6 HCV genotypes…”. However, to date 8 genotypes are identified for HCV. 3. “Natural history”: “Albeit uncommon, progression to cirrhosis has been described and…”. This sentence may be reformulated for better readability and comprehension. 4. “Improving the cascade or care”: ”KHAMP has trained primary care providers on HCV epidemiology, diagnosis, management…”. This sentence may be reformulated, because the word "management" means prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring or follow up. 5. “Conclusion”: “…a major impact on health care outcomes for patients of all ages…including…”. In this sentence "...including" may be replaced by "a fortiori". "

"This manuscript is a good collection of results that aim to determine the impact of hyper-transfusion on long term survival in pediatric living donor liver transplantation. Overall, the information are well collected. However, there are some important issues I would like to emphasize. 1. Method: The authors need to clarify what is (are) the primary outcomes of the study and what are the secondary outcomes of the study. The other minor findings can be described in the results but the discussion should be based on the outcomes of interest. 2. Results: Since hyper-transfusion may be the cause of an excess ten year mortality or an epiphenomenon (difficult patients, difficult medical care etc), the authors need to perform additional competing risk analysis to define the impact of hyper-transfusion on the ten year patient survival. As to the result, hyper-transfusion is significantly associated with 30 day reoperation and 30 day excess mortality, this factor need to be consider as a competing risk for long term survival. In addition, the impact of other set of risk factors should be analyzed for the association with ten year survival. 3. Discussion: Need to be reorganized according to the revised method and results. 4. The impact of hyper-transfusion on the outcome of pediatric living donor transplantation should be clearly stated. 5. Tables 3 and 5 . The information can be limited to what are related with the potential adverse events of hyper-transfusion on the primary and secondary outcomes. "

"The review was very informative for a non-expert and recapitulated many aspects of interest, covering updated progress and additional challenges that need to be overcome. Section 1&2: Introduction/ Brief summary of autoimmunity in T1DM The authors should have merged the first two sections after the abstract. The review would flow better, if the second main section (Brief summary of autoiimunity in T1DM) came after the first paragraph of the first section (Introduction). Particularly, because the authors finish the former with the message of the Β islet destruction and in the second paragraph of th eintroduction they explain adequately how this challenge can be surpassed. Section 3: Defects of current T1DM treatment I think it would be interesting if the authors referenced in the second paragraph reviews on a) selection of encapsulation materials and transplantation site, b)improve immune regulation and c) blood vessel formation Moreover, since the following sections focus significantly on key transcription factors for stem cell differentiation, the authors could have made a more compelling case about their importance in this paragraph. ANother key point I would like to address is that I always find interesting the 'prevent autoimmune destruction' concept, since in many cases, the damage is irreversible at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, the authors should have addressed here, providing more literature, the two other options, which are induced regeneration from MSCs or their differentiation to Β-islet. Despite the focus on the latter in the following sections, if this contrast would have been explicitly explained and contrasted at this point, the readers would assimilate easier the greater image of the clinical bottlenecks of possible T1DM treatments. Section 4: Maturation process of Β cells in vivo This chapter feels a bit misleading from the title, since it mostly focuses on the islet development steps during the embryonic development, in mice or humans. Plus, many aspects of this paragraph are informative, yet do not correlate significantly with the follow-up section, of how the maturaiton actually occurs. Thus, most of the points raised in this paragraph can be overlooked and forgotten from the reader, thus weakening the overall view on the paper. The most relevant aspect described is the MAF transcription factor and a few others which are introduced later, however the major aspect of the chapter is very introductory and based on the paper title, could be reduced. Section 5: Key markers in the process of β-cell maturation This part was very detailed and elaborate, with lots of evidence and body of work done previously, which do not come by as superficial information. What could have made the whole paragraph to read, would have been to split it in at least two or three subsections, underlying a wider message across each, since it comprises of numeorus factors that affect β cell maturation Section 6: Induction of β cells in vitro and current problems This is also a very well-written paragraph touching upon many crucial prerequisites in testing methods to produce effectively β cells, such as prolonged and sustainable insulin release, autocrine regulation of Β cells by other pancreatic islet cell types, culture techniques based on nutrition, maturation, and TF delivery.

"Malignant melanoma most often occurs in the skin. Intraspinal malignant melanoma is quite rare. It is mainly distributed in the cervical segment, followed by the thoracic segment and thoracolumbar junction segment. This study analyzed and discussed the clinical, pathological, imaging data and treatment of this case of lumbar melanoma. The MRI features of melanoma vary with the proportion of melanocytes in the tumor.The diagnosis of this disease depends on puncture or surgical pathology.Because malignant melanoma in spinal canal is very rare, and its imaging manifestations are variable, it mainly needs to be differentiated from schwannoma and meningioma in spinal canal. In addition, hemorrhagic malignant melanoma should be differentiated from epidural hematoma and lipoma. For other rare intramedullary spinal cord tumors in this group, careful separation along the tumor interface is also required during microsurgical resection.However, it is often difficult to completely remove the tumor during the operation. The use of high-power microscope and ultrasonic scalpel is helpful to completely remove the tumor, and greatly improves the safety of the operation.For high-grade malignant tumors, excessive resection should not be pursued when the peritumoral interface is unclear. Postoperative radiotherapy or targeted therapy or immunotherapy based on gene detection can be considered to prolong the disease-free survival or overall survival rate. Neurophysiological monitoring and intraoperative ultrasound accurate positioning have become one of the routine intraoperative auxiliary means in neurosurgery. It is of great significance to guide accurate tumor resection, avoid spinal cord injury and improve postoperative neurological function."
