Introduction: Traditional prognostic indicators for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), such as clinicopathological features, human papillomavirus status, and imaging examinations, often lack precision in guiding medical therapy. Therefore, discovering novel tumor biomarkers that can accurately assess prognosis and aid in personalized medical treatment for HNSCC is critical. Solute carrier family 7, member 11 (SLC7A11), is implicated in ferroptosis, and various malignant tumor therapies regulate its expression.

Article Synopsis
  • A study aimed to create and validate a radiomics nomogram that can differentiate between appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) and appendicitis with fluid in the lumen using CT images.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 211 patients, developing a model from 851 features extracted from CT images and using statistical methods to select the most relevant ones.
  • The combined radiomics nomogram outperformed other models, achieving high accuracy with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.945 for training and 0.933 for validation cohorts, indicating its potential effectiveness in clinical settings.

Various immunity-related adverse events have been reported to be associated with the inhibition of programmed cell death receptor 1. We report a rare case of a relapse of lupus nephritis (LN), involving rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, which was induced by nivolumab treatment in a patient with oral cancer. The patient had a history of systemic lupus erythematosus and underwent treatment with steroids, rituximab, and plasmapheresis.

Objective: To identify CT features and establish a nomogram, compared with a machine learning-based model for distinguishing gastrointestinal heterotopic pancreas (HP) from gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 148 patients with pathologically confirmed HP (n = 48) and GIST (n = 100) in the stomach or small intestine that were less than 3 cm in size. Clinical information and CT characteristics were collected.

Objective: To identify CT features and establish a diagnostic model for distinguishing non-ampullary duodenal neuroendocrine neoplasms (dNENs) from non-ampullary duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (dGISTs) and to analyze overall survival outcomes of all dNENs patients.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 98 patients with pathologically confirmed dNENs (n = 44) and dGISTs (n = 54). Clinical data and CT characteristics were collected.

Objective: To predict the existence of micropapillary or solid components in invasive adenocarcinoma, a model was constructed using qualitative and quantitative features in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).

Methods: Through pathological examinations, 176 lesions were divided into two groups depending on the presence or absence of micropapillary and/or solid components (MP/S): MP/S- group (n = 128) and MP/S + group (n = 48). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent predictors of the MP/S.

Background: Glomerular damage is a common clinical indicator of nephrotic syndrome. High-dose hormone treatment often leads to hormone resistance in patients. How to avoid resistance and improve the efficiency of hormone therapy draws much attention to clinicians.

Objectives: This study aims to predict the high-grade pattern (HGP) of stage IA lung invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) based on the high-resolution CT (HRCT) features.

Methods: The clinical, pathological, and HRCT imaging data of 457 patients (from bicentric) with pathologically confirmed stage IA IAC (459 lesions in total) were retrospectively analyzed. The 459 lesions were classified into high-grade pattern (HGP) (n = 101) and non-high-grade pattern (n-HGP) (n = 358) groups depending on the presence of HGP (micropapillary and solid) in pathological results.

The effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine (Dex) anesthesia on inflammatory factors and hemodynamics in patients undergoing neurosurgery and its relationship with RSS scores are analyzed. A total of 102 patients who received neurosurgery in our hospital from March 2021 to March 2022 are selected. According to different intraoperative Dex dose, the enrolled patients are randomly divided into low-, medium-, and high-dose groups, 34 patients in each group.

Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are common in the hypertensive population and can only be detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The anticoagulation and thrombolytic regimens for patients with >5 CMBs are different from those for patients with ≤ 5 CMBs. However, MRI is not suitable for evaluating CMBs in patients with MRI contraindications or acute ischemic stroke urgently requiring thrombolysis.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the correlation of computed tomography (CT) quantitative parameters with tumor invasion and Ki-67 expression in early lung adenocarcinoma.The study involved 141 lesions in 141 patients with early lung adenocarcinoma. According to the degree of tumor invasion, the lesions were assigned into (adenocarcinoma in situ + minimally invasive adenocarcinoma) group and invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) group.

Background: Evidence suggesting a role for including calcineurin inhibitors(CNIs) in early therapy remains limited for low quality and mainly based on small observation cohort study. We will conduct a systematic reviews to explore the effect and adverse effect of calcineurin inhibitors compared with other interventions in the treatment of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

Methods: A comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE (through PubMed), EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) will be conducted.

Background: The present study aims to comprehensively determine the efficacy of different therapy regimens based on Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF) for patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) using network meta-analysis method.

Methods: Seven electronic databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the differences between different therapy regimens based on TwHF for patients with PNS. The risk of bias in included RCTs was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook version 5.

Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the most common autosomal recessive disease in children, and the diagnosis is complicated and difficult, especially at early stage. Early diagnosis of SMA is able to improve the outcome of SMA patients. In our study, Real-time PCR was developed to measure the gene mutation or deletion of key genes for SMA and to further analyse genotype-phenotype correlation.

A transparent reconfigurable optical interleaver module composed of cascaded AWGs-based wavelength-channel-selector/interleaver monolithically integrated with multimode interference (MMI) variable optical attenuators (VOAs) and Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch arrays was designed and fabricated using polymer photonic lightwave circuits. Highly fluorinated photopolymer and grafting modified organic-inorganic hybrid material were synthesized as the waveguide core and caldding, respectively. Thermo-optic (TO) tunable wavelength transfer matrix (WTM) function of the module can be achieved for optical routing network.

A transparent reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) module composed of AWG-based wavelength-channel-selectors monolithically integrated with Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) thermo-optic (TO) waveguide switch arrays and arrayed waveguide true-time-delay (TTD) lines is designed and fabricated using polymer photonic lightwave circuit technology. Negative-type fluorinated photoresist and grafting modified organic-inorganic hybrid materials were synthesized as the waveguide core and cladding, respectively. The one-chip transmission loss is ~6 dB and the crosstalk is less than ~30 dB for the transverse-magnetic (TM) mode.

Molecular wave packets provide an alternative route to steer the high harmonic generation (HHG). Here we present a new method for isolated attosecond pulse generation from high harmonics in the plateau with asymmetric molecules. It is shown that the photoionization depends on the molecular structure.
