A dose-effect curve is presented obtained by analysis of dicentric chromosomes and centric ring chromosomes in lymphocyte metaphase spreads of three healthy volunteers after in vitro 100 kV X-ray-irradiation of peripheral blood samples. This calibration curve follows a linear quadratic equation, y=c+alpha D+beta D(2), with the coefficients: y=(0.0005+/-0.0001)+(0.0355+/-0.0066)D+(0.0701+/-0.0072)D(2). The model is based on 13.231 first-division metaphases analyzed after in vitro exposure to doses ranging from 0.1 to 2.0 Gy at a dose rate of 0.4 Gy min(-1). Significant overdispersion of the observed chromosomal aberrations was evident for dose points 1.0 and 2.0 Gy, respectively. The calibration curve was applied to derive equivalent whole body doses of three subjects after suspected extensive exposure to diagnostic X-rays.

Background: Ultra-low rectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) presents technical challenges due to anatomical features. The objective of this research was to determine the risk factors linked to unsuccessful curative resections and to create a nomogram predictive model to assess the likelihood of encountering technical challenges.
Methods: Patients with ultra-low rectal tumors received ESD form June 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively enrolled.

This study aims to construct and optimize risk prediction models for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, thus improving the identification of patients at high risk of LNM and further providing accurate support for clinical decision-making. This retrospective analysis included 541 cases of EC treated at The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University between January 2017 and January 2022. Various clinical and pathological variables were incorporated, including age, body mass index (BMI), pathological grading, myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels, and tumor size.

Background: The relationship between molecular phenotype and prognosis in high-grade gliomas (WHO III and IV, HGG) treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not fully understood and needs further exploration.
Methods: The HGG patients following surgery and treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to assess the independent prognostic factors.

Objective: To explore the prognosis-predictive influence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low status in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT).
Methods: Consecutive patients with invasive breast cancer who underwent NAT and surgery from January 2009 to December 2020 at multiple centers were included. A modified CPS+EG scoring system that integrates HER2-low status, CPS+EGH was developed.

Introduction: Early prediction of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) secondary to severe heat stroke (SHS) is crucial for improving patient outcomes. This study aims to develop and validate a risk prediction model for those patients based on immediate assessment indicators on ICU admission.
Methods: Two hundred eighty-four cases with SHS in our hospital between July 2009 and April 2024 were retrospectively reviewed, and categorized into non-MODS and MODS groups.
