Introduction: Posterior communicating artery (Pcom) aneurysm has unique morphological characteristics and a high recurrence risk after coil embolization. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the recurrence-related morphology characteristics and hemodynamics.

Method: A total of 20 patients with 22 Pcom aneurysms from 2019 to 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. The recurrence-related morphology parameters were measured. The hemodynamic parameters were simulated based on finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. The hemodynamic differences before and after treatment caused by different morphological features and the correlation between these parameters were analyzed.

Result: Significant greater postoperative inflow rate at the neck (Q), relative Q, inflow concentration index (ICI), and residual flow volume (RFV) were reported in the aneurysms with wide neck (>4 mm). Significant greater postoperative RFV were reported in the aneurysms with large size (>7 mm). Significant greater postoperative Q, relative Q, and ICI were reported in the aneurysms located on the larteral side of the curve. The bending angle of the internal carotid artery at the initiation of Pcom (α) and neck diameter had moderate positive correlations with Q, relative Q, ICI, and RFV.

Conclusion: The morphological factors, including aneurysm size, neck diameter, and α, are correlated with the recurrence-inducing hemodynamic characteristics even after fully packing. This provides a theoretical basis for evaluating the risk of aneurysm recurrence and a reference for selecting a surgical plan.

A Nomogram for Predicting Recurrence in Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Clin Respir J

November 2024

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Xuzhou Central Hospital, XuZhou Clinical School of Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), where about 30% of patients experience recurrence within 5 years, highlighting the need for effective markers to improve individualized treatment.
  • Data from multiple sources led to the development of a 13-gene signature that effectively differentiates between high-risk and low-risk patients for recurrence, validated through several cohorts with strong predictive accuracy.
  • A nomogram combining the gene signature with factors like age and histology was created to estimate recurrence-free survival, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for managing early-stage NSCLC and optimizing adjuvant therapies.

Integrated analysis of tumor and adjacent non-tumor proteomic data reveals SERPINH1 as a recurrence biomarker and drug target in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Int J Biol Sci

State Key Laboratory of Medical Proteomics, National Center for Protein Sciences (Beijing), Proteome Research Center, Beijing Institute of Lifeomics, Beijing, China.

The high rate of postoperative recurrence contributes to the poor outcome in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and effective strategies for managing recurrence are currently lacking. Based on seven pairs of tumors and non-tumor adjacent tissues (NATs) proteomic datasets across five cancer types, this study systematically investigates the stratified and therapeutic value of tumors and NATs for tumor recurrence. NATs exhibited stable and irreplaceable independent prognostic capabilities for recurrence, complementing clinical indicators and tumor characteristics.

Objectives: This study aimed to establish a clinical nomogram model based on a radiomics signatures derived from F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) and clinical parameters to predict disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with stage II/III colorectal adenocarcinoma. Understanding and predicting DFS in these patients is key to optimizing treatment strategies.

Methods: A retrospective analysis included 332 cases from July 2011 to July 2021 at The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, with PET/CT assessing radiomics features and clinicopathological features.

Gliomas, the predominant form of brain cancer, comprise diverse malignant subtypes with limited curative therapies available. The insufficient understanding of their molecular diversity and evolutionary processes hinders the advancement of new treatments. Technical complexities associated with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) clinical samples hinder molecular-level analyses of gliomas.

Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive type of breast cancer (BC). Despite advances in the clinical management of TNBC, recurrence-related mortality remains a challenge. The stem-like phenotype of TNBC plays a significant role in the persistence of minimal disease residue after therapy.
