Comparison of S-Detect and thyroid imaging reporting and data system classifications in the diagnosis of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the value of S-Detect for predicting the malignant risk of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules (CITNs).

Methods: The preoperative prediction of 159 CITNs (Bethesda III, IV and V) were performed using S-Detect, Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System of American College of Radiology (ACR TI-RADS) and Chinese TI-RADS (C-TIRADS). First, Linear-by-Linear Association test and chi-square test were used to analyze the malignant risk of CITNs.

Effect of interstitial chemotherapy with ricin temperature-responsive gel for anti-breast cancer and immune regulation in rats.

Objective: To explore the effect of ricin temperature response gel on breast cancer and its regulatory effect on immune function in rats.

Methods: Ricin was purified by chromatography and identified by immunoblotting. The rat subcutaneously transplanted breast cancer model was established.

Chemotherapy with PLGA microspheres containing docetaxel decreases angiogenesis in human hepatoma xenograft.

To investigate the antiangiogenic effect of sustained-release poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres containing docetaxel (PMCD) in human hepatoma xenograft. PMCD were prepared by solvent evaporation method with an encapsulation efficiency of 98.7% and a release period of about 3 weeks in vitro.
