The clinical value of iodine-125 seed implantation in the treatment of iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Objective: To explore the clinical benefits of I seed implantation for iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 36 patients with RAIR-DTC who underwent radioactive I seed implantation from January 2015 to February 2022, involving 73 lesions. Prescription dose: 80~120 Gy.

Radiomics Based on Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI to Early Predict Pathologic Complete Response in Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Neoadjuvant Therapy.

Rationale And Objectives: To investigate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI)-based radiomics at baseline and after two cycles of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) and associated longitudinal changes for early prediction of the NAT response in patients with breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: One hundred seventeen patients with breast cancer who underwent DCE-MRI before NAT and after two cycles of NAT from April 2019 to November 2021 were enrolled retrospectively. Patients were randomly divided into a training set (n = 81) and a test set (n = 36) at a ratio of 7:3.

LncRNA Chaer Prevents Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis From Acute Myocardial Infarction Through AMPK Activation.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is widely reported to be involved in cardiac (patho)physiology. Acute myocardial infarction, in which cardiomyocyte apoptosis plays an important role, is a life-threatening disease. Here, we report the lncRNA Chaer that is anti-apoptotic in cardiomyocytes during Acute myocardial infarction.

Engineering and characterization of a novel low temperature active and thermo stable esterase from marine Enterobacter cloacae.

Esterases are one of the most important industrial enzymes. Here, a novel estA was cloned from Enterobacter sp. and characterized.
