Type 2 diabetes prevention diet and the risk of pancreatic cancer: A large prospective multicenter study.

Background & Aims: Type 2 diabetes prevention diet confers a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, which exhibits overlapping mechanisms with pancreatic cancer. We performed a prospective study to examine whether adherence to this dietary pattern is associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer.

Methods: A population-based cohort of 101,729 American adults was identified.

A Peptide-Based Magnetic Chemiluminescence Enzyme Immunoassay for Serological Diagnosis of Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel β-coronavirus, causes severe pneumonia and has spread throughout the globe rapidly. The disease associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection is named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To date, real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the only test able to confirm this infection.

Differentiation of central lung cancer from atelectasis: comparison of diffusion-weighted MRI with PET/CT.

Objective: Prospectively assess the performance of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) for differentiation of central lung cancer from atelectasis.

Materials And Methods: 38 consecutive lung cancer patients (26 males, 12 females; age range: 28-71 years; mean age: 49 years) who were referred for thoracic MR imaging examinations were enrolled. MR examinations were performed using a 1.

[Study on the polymorphism of killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor (KIR) gene with systemic lupus erythematosus of North population in China].

Aim: To investigate the polymorphism of KIR genes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, and to study the correlation between KIR genes and susceptibility of SLE.

Methods: The polymorphism of KIR genes were detected by PCR-SSP technique in 62 patients with SLE and 61 healthy persons as controls from North of China.

Results: The differences of KIR frequency between the SLE group and the control were tested by statistical analysis.

[Polymorphism of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor gene and its correlation with leukemia].

The study was purposed to investigate the polymorphism of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene of the patients with leukemia and to explore the correlation between the KIR gene and susceptibility of leukemia. The KIR genotype of 50 patients with leukemia and 60 healthy controls in northern. Hans were analyzed by PCR-SSP.

[Application of multi-slice spiral CT angiography after endoluminal exclusion of aortic diseases].

Objective: To study the application of multi-slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) after endoluminal exclusion of aortic diseases.

Methods: 16-slice CT angiography was performed in 15 patients with aortic dissection and 4 patients with aortic aneurysm after endovascular exclusion. Two observers analysed the images and interpreted the outcomes and complications after endovascular exclusions of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm.
