Part2Point: A Part-Oriented Point Cloud Reconstruction Framework.

Three-dimensional object modeling is necessary for developing virtual and augmented reality applications. Traditionally, application engineers must manually use art software to edit object shapes or exploit LIDAR to scan physical objects for constructing 3D models. This is very time-consuming and costly work.

Biomarkers and factors in small cell lung cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors: A meta-analysis.

Objective: The aim of this meta-analysis was to summarize the available results of immunotherapy predictors for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and to provide evidence-based information for their potential predictive value of efficacy.

Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials (from January 1, 1975 to November 1, 2021). The hazard ratios (HR) and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and tumor response rate of the included studies were extracted.

Research progress on the treatment of advanced prostate cancer with Olaparib.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies in men worldwide, and metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has shown a poor prognosis. Although chemotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) have improved clinical outcomes, the median survival (MS) of patients with mCRPC is still less than 2 years. With the development of poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi), the treatment strategy for patients with mCRPC has markedly evolved.

An all permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance ion source for heavy ion therapy.

A high charge state all permanent Electron Cyclotron Resonance ion source, Lanzhou All Permanent ECR ion source no. 3-LAPECR3, has been successfully built at IMP in 2012, which will serve as the ion injector of the Heavy Ion Medical Machine (HIMM) project. As a commercial device, LAPECR3 features a compact structure, small size, and low cost.

Near-field imaging of the interactions of evanescent fields.

The near-field images of interferences generated by the reflection or by the interactions of four evanescent fields of two different wavelengths are obtained. The near-field interactions of the evanescent fields are studied.
