The influence of thyroid status, serum Tg, TSH, and TgAb on FNA-Tg in cervical metastatic lymph nodes of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is treated in China mostly with surgery, including total ablation, lobectomy, and lobe and isthmus resection. Therefore, whether thyroid status affects the FNA-Tg cutoff value in the diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis deserves our attention. In addition, we investigated the influence of serum Tg, TSH, and TgAb on the accuracy of using FNA-Tg for diagnosis.

Computer-aided classification of MRI for pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer.

To determine suitable optimal classifiers and examine the general applicability of computer-aided classification to compare the differences between a computer-aided system and radiologists in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) from patients with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We analyzed a total of 455 masses and used the U-Net network and ResNet to execute MRI segmentation and pCR classification. The diagnostic performance of radiologists, the computer-aided system and a combination of radiologists and computer-aided system were compared using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

Computer-Aided Diagnosis Evaluation of the Correlation Between Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Molecular Subtypes in Breast Cancer.

Background: There is a demand for additional alternative methods that can allow the differentiation of the breast tumor into molecular subtypes precisely and conveniently.

Purpose: The present study aimed to determine suitable optimal classifiers and investigate the general applicability of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) to associate between the breast cancer molecular subtype and the extracted MR imaging features.

Methods: We analyzed a total of 264 patients (mean age: 47.

GABARAP suppresses EMT and breast cancer progression via the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Few studies have focused on γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA) receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) in tumor progression. We investigated the expression and importance of GABARAP in breast cancer. We analyzed the expression of GABARAP and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis (TCGA).

Preliminary results of computer-aided diagnosis for magnetic resonance imaging of solid breast lesions.

Purpose: The present study aimed to determine suitable optimal classifiers and investigate the general applicability of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) to compare magnetic resonance (MR)-CAD with MR imaging (MRI) in distinguishing benign from malignant solid breast masses.

Methods: We analyzed a total of 251 patients (mean age: 44.8 ± 12.

Reaction-induced microsyneresis in oxide-based gels: the assembly of hierarchical microsphere networks.

Rigid and stable networks composed of litchi-shaped microspheres were formed via hierarchical self-assembly (SA) of oxide-based nanoparticles (NPs). The phenomenon of the apparent changes from NPs networks to microspheres networks after the gelation was similar to normal microsyneresis. However, in-situ composition evolution results indicate that the SA is driven by interparticle dehydration, but not affinity difference between the network for itself and for the solvent.
