Statement Of Problem: Considerable variations exist in cavity preparation methods and approaches. Whether the extent and depth of cavity preparation because of the extent of caries affects the overall accuracy of training deep learning models remains unexplored.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in 3-dimensionsal (3D) model cavity preparations after International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) classification performed by different practitioners and the subsequent influence on the ability of a deep learning model to predict cavity classification.

Exploring the surgical effectiveness and post-operative recovery of modified laparoscopic levator ani muscle external abdominoperineal resection (L-ELAPE) in the treatment of ultra-low rectal cancer patients. In a retrospective study conducted at the Oncology Department of Xinxiang Central Hospital and the Fourth Clinical College of Xinxiang Medical University, we analyzed 107 patients with ultra-low rectal cancer who underwent surgical treatment from April 2017 to April 2022. Among them, 54 patients in the modified group were treated using the L-ELAPE technique, while 53 patients in the conventional group underwent the traditional ELAPE surgery.

A concomitant drug-based score was developed by our group and externally validated for prognostic and predictive purposes in patients with advanced cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The model considers the use of three classes of drugs within a month before initiating ICI, assigning score 1 for each between proton pump inhibitor and antibiotic administration until a month before immunotherapy initiation and score 2 in case of corticosteroid intake. In the present analysis, the drug score was validated in a prospective population of 305 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with ipilimumab plus nivolumab in the first-line setting.

Objective: Cell metabolism plays a vital role in the proliferation, metastasis and sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs of colorectal cancer. The purpose of this multicenter cohort study is to investigate the potential genes indicating clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer patients.

Methods: We analyzed gene expression profiles of colorectal cancer to identify differentially expressed genes then used these differentially expressed genes to construct prognostic signature based on the least absolute shrink-age and selection operator Cox regression model.
