Analysis of Curative Effect and Prognostic Factors of Radiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer Based on the CNN.

An esophageal cancer intelligent diagnosis system is developed to improve the recognition rate of esophageal cancer image diagnosis and the efficiency of physicians, as well as to improve the level of esophageal cancer image diagnosis in primary care institutions. In this paper, by collecting medical images related to esophageal cancer over the years, we establish an intelligent diagnosis system based on the convolutional neural network for esophageal cancer images through the steps of data annotation, image preprocessing, data enhancement, and deep learning to assist doctors in intelligent diagnosis. The convolutional neural network-based esophageal cancer image intelligent diagnosis system has been successfully applied in hospitals and widely praised by frontline doctors.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the SuperPATH Approach in Hip Arthroplasty.

Objective: To compare the clinical and radiographic results of the supercapsular percutaneously assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach and the conventional approach in hip arthroplasty.

Design: Based on a prepublished protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42020177717), we searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane for relevant literatures up to January 30, 2021. The methodological qualities were assessed using the guidelines provided by the Cochrane Collaboration for Systematic Reviews.

Combined high-dose radiation therapy and systemic chemotherapy improves survival in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer.

Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of high-dose radiation therapy (RT) to the primary and regional disease in combination with systemic chemotherapy and local treatment to metastatic foci in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Methods: One hundred and five consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed NPC with distant metastasis at diagnosis seen between 1995 and 2002 were reviewed. All were offered cisplatin-based chemotherapy, high-dose RT (>30 Gy) to the head and neck region, and active treatment to the metastatic foci.

[Surfaced-enhanced Raman spectroscopic study on single living human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells incubated with colloidal gold].

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy and normal Raman spectroscopy of single living human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells(CNE-1) were tested and analyzed by gold nanoparticles incubation into cells. Six obvious Raman bands (718, 1001, 1123, 1336, 1446 and 1660 cm(-1)) were observed in the normal Raman spectroscopy of living CNE-1 cells. The characteristic Raman bands in the SERS spectra of living cells were tentatively assigned.

Sequential chemotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy in the management of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: experience of 370 consecutive cases.

Introduction: To investigate the outcome of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) after induction chemotherapy, with or without concomitant chemotherapy.

Methods: Between August 2003 and March 2007, 370 patients with locoregionally advanced NPC were treated with IMRT. Presenting stages were stage IIB in 62, stage III in 197, and stage IVA/B in 111 patients.

Prognostic factors of 305 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy.

Background And Objective: Radiotherapy is effective in treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study evaluated the treatment efficacy, toxicity, and prognostic factors of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in the treatment NPC.

Methods: Between September 2003 and September 2006, 305 patients with NPC were treated with IMRT in Fujian Provincial Cancer Hospital.
