[Diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with convolutional neural network on narrowband imaging].

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the convolutional neural network（CNN） in diagnosing nasopharyngeal carcinoma using endoscopic narrowband imaging. A total of 834 cases with nasopharyngeal lesions were collected from the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between 2014 and 2016. We trained the DenseNet201 model to classify the endoscopic images, evaluated its performance using the test dataset, and compared the results with those of two independent endoscopic experts.

A Deep-Sea Bacterium Is Capable of Degrading Polyurethane.

Plastic wastes have been recognized as the most common and durable marine contaminants, which are not only found in the shallow water, but also on the sea floor. However, whether deep-sea microorganisms have evolved the capability of degrading plastic remains elusive. In this study, a deep-sea bacterium Bacillus velezensis GUIA was found to be capable of degrading waterborne polyurethane.

Efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with nimotuzumab in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with cervical lymph node metastasis.

Objectives: First, we retrospectively compared the clinical efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with nimotuzumab vs. chemoradiotherapy alone in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and cervical lymph node metastasis. Second, we analyzed the value of Ki-67 as a predictor of nimotuzumab efficacy.

Chemicolome and Metabolome Profiling of Xieriga-4 Decoction, A Traditional Mongolian Medicine, Using the UPLC-QTOF/MS Approach.

Background: Xieriga-4 decoction (XRG-4) is a classic prescription Mongolian medicine that has potent diuretic and anti-inflammatory activities. However, its functional components remain unknown.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the chemical components in XRG-4 and its metabolome in vivo.

Promoting Effect of Horticultural Therapy on College Students' Positive Psychological Quality.

To explore the effect of horticultural therapy on cultivating College Students' positive psychological quality and to provide reference for college students' mental health education, 176 college students were randomly divided into experimental group ( = 88) and control group ( = 88). The experimental group was intervened by horticulture therapy, and the and were used to test the experimental group and the control group. There was no difference in the six dimensions of positive psychological quality between the experimental group and the control group in the pre-test.

Novel role of lncRNA CHRF in cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer is mediated by miR-10b induced EMT and STAT3 signaling.

Ovarian Cancer (OC) is a highly lethal gynecological cancer which often progresses through acquired resistance against the administered therapy. Cisplatin is a common therapeutic for the treatment of OC patients and therefore it is critical to understand the mechanisms of resistance against this drug. We studied a paired cell line consisting of parental and cisplatin resistant (CR) derivative ES2 OC cells, and found a number of dysregulated lncRNAs, with CHRF being the most significantly upregulated lncRNA in CR ES2 cells.

[Effect of vertical anterior laryngectomy with pedicled sternohyoid flap for vocal cord reconstruction and glottal morphology].

To explore the effect of vocal cord reconstruction with sternohyoid muscle flap pedicled with vertical anterior laryngectomy. The clinical data of 43 cases of laryngeal carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively. According to whether the vocal cords were reconstructed, they were divided into vocal cord reconstruction group and non reconstruction group.

[Risk assessment of secondary transmission induced by imported malaria in Jiangxi Province].

Objective: To assess the risk of secondary transmission induced by imported malaria in Jiangxi Province, so as to provide the evidence for adjustment of malaria surveillance strategies in the key groups and areas.

Methods: The Delphi method was used to establish the secondary transmission risk indicator system and the weight of each index was obtained. The data of malaria prevalence, vector distribution and intervention capacity were collected in 100 counties of Jiangxi Province from 2012 to 2015.

[Epidemiological analysis of imported malaria cases in 20 counties at border region of Yunnan Province from 2012 to 2014].

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the imported malaria cases in 20 counties at the border region of Yunnan Province from 2012 to 2014, so as to provide the evidence-based proof for adjusting the strategies in the elimination stage.

Methods: The malaria epidemic data of the 20 border counties in Yunnan Province from 2012 to 2014 were collected and analyzed by using Microsoft Excel 2010.

Results: From 2012 to 2014, a total of 1 558 malaria cases were reported in the 20 border counties in Yunnan Province, among which, 1 336 were imported cases, accounting for 85.

[Salt-alkaline tolerance of sorghum germplasm at seedling stage].

A sand culture experiment with Hoagland solution plus NaCl and Na2CO3 was conducted to study the responses of sorghum seedlings to salt-alkaline stress. An assessment method for identifying the salt-alkaline tolerance of sorghum at seedling stage was established, and the salt-alkaline tolerance of 66 sorghum genotypes was evaluated. At the salt concentrations 8.
