Radiomics of multi-parametric MRI for the prediction of lung metastasis in soft-tissue sarcoma: a feasibility study.

Purpose: To investigate the value of multi-parametric MRI-based radiomics for preoperative prediction of lung metastases from soft tissue sarcoma (STS).

Methods: In total, 122 patients with clinicopathologically confirmed STS who underwent pretreatment T1-weighted contrast-enhanced (T1-CE) and T2-weighted fat-suppressed (T2FS) MRI scans were enrolled between Jul. 2017 and Mar.

Study of cabbage antioxidant system response on early infection stage of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris.

Black rot, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) significantly affects the production of cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables. Plant antioxidant system plays an important role in pathogen invasion and is one of the main mechanisms underlying resistance to biological stress.

Comparative study of the quality indices, antioxidant substances, and mineral elements in different forms of cabbage.

Background: As the second largest leafy vegetable, cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) is grown globally, and the characteristics of the different varieties, forms, and colors of cabbage may differ.

Potential Antihuman Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Target Therapy Beneficiaries: The Role of MRI-Based Radiomics in Distinguishing Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Low Status of Breast Cancer.

Background: Multiparametric MRI radiomics could distinguish human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive from HER2-negative breast cancers. However, its value for further distinguishing HER2-low from HER2-negative breast cancers has not been investigated.

Purpose: To investigate whether multiparametric MRI-based radiomics can distinguish HER2-positive from HER2-negative breast cancers (task 1) and HER2-low from HER2-negative breast cancers (task 2).

Physical, chemical, and biological control of black rot of brassicaceae vegetables: A review.

As one of the important sources of human nutrition, Brassicaceae vegetables are widely grown worldwide. Black rot caused by pv. () seriously affects the quality and yield of Brassicaceae vegetables.

A contrast-enhanced MRI-based nomogram to identify lung metastasis in soft-tissue sarcoma: A multi-centre study.

Background: Lung metastasis (LM) status is critical for making treatment decisions in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) patients, yet magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based prediction of LM in STSs has not been thoroughly investigated.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop MRI-based radiomics models for identifying LM in STSs.

Methods: We enrolled 122 STS patients from our hospital to form a primary cohort.

Application of Exogenous Silicon for Alleviating Photosynthetic Inhibition in Tomato Seedlings under Low-Calcium Stress.

To address the low Ca-induced growth inhibition of tomato plants, the mitigation effect of exogenous Si on tomato seedlings under low-Ca stress was investigated using different application methods. We specifically analyzed the effects of root application or foliar spraying of 1 mM Si on growth conditions, leaf photosynthetic properties, stomatal status, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence, ATP activity and content, Calvin cycle-related enzymatic activity, and gene expression in tomato seedlings under low vs. adequate calcium conditions.

Organocatalytic formal [3 + 3] cyclization of α-(6-indolyl) propargylic alcohols.

With the aid of acetic acid, a 1,10-conjugate addition-mediated formal [3 + 3] cyclization of alkynyl indole imine methides formed from α-(6-indolyl) propargylic alcohols with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds such as 4-hydroxycoumarins and cyclohexane-1,3-diones was developed, which provided robust access to a wide range of pyranocoumarin and pyran derivatives containing an indole skeleton with high efficiency under mild conditions.

Clinical-Radiomics Nomogram from T1W, T1CE, and T2FS MRI for Improving Diagnosis of Soft-Tissue Sarcoma.

Purpose: To compare values of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences and propose clinical-radiomics nomogram for diagnosis of soft-tissue sarcoma (STS).

Procedures: This study enrolled 148 patients from Dec. 2017 to Feb.

Radiomics evaluates the EGFR mutation status from the brain metastasis: a multi-center study.

To develop and externally validate habitat-based MRI radiomics for preoperative prediction of the EGFR mutation status based on brain metastasis (BM) from primary lung adenocarcinoma (LA).We retrospectively reviewed 150 and 38 patients from hospital 1 and hospital 2 between January 2017 and December 2021 to form a primary and an external validation cohort, respectively. Radiomics features were calculated from the whole tumor (W), tumor active area (TAA) and peritumoral oedema area (POA) in the contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1CE) and T2-weighted (T2W) MRI image.

Multi-parametric MRI-based radiomics for the diagnosis of malignant soft-tissue tumor.

Purpose: To develop and validate a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging-based radiomics nomogram for differentiating malignant and benign soft-tissue tumors.

Methods: A total of 91 patients with pathologically confirmed soft-tissue tumors were enrolled between January 2017 and October 2020. Forty-eight patients were consecutively enrolled between November 2020 and March 2022, as a time-independent cohort.

Intratumoral analysis of digital breast tomosynthesis for predicting the Ki-67 level in breast cancer: A multi-center radiomics study.

Purpose: To non-invasively evaluate the Ki-67 level in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images of breast cancer (BC) patients based on subregional radiomics.

Methods: A total of 266 patients who underwent DBT scans were consecutively enrolled at two centers, between September 2017 and September 2021. The whole tumor region was partitioned into various intratumoral subregions, based on individual- and population-level clustering.
