This study aimed to construct a DDR-related immune activation(DRIA) signature and evaluate the predictive accuracy of the DRIA signature for response to immune checkpoint inhibitor(ICI) therapy in gastrointestinal(GI) cancer.Methods: A DRIA signature was established based on two previously reported DNA damage immune response assays. Clinical and gene expression data from two published GI cancer cohorts were used to assess and validate the association between the DRIA score and response to ICI therapy. The predictive accuracy of the DRIA score was validated based on one ICI-treated melanoma and three pan-cancer published cohorts.Results: The DRIA signature includes three genes(CXCL10, IDO1, and IFI44L). In the discovery cancer cohort, DRIA-high patients with gastric cancer achieved a higher response rate to ICI therapy than DRIA-low patients(81.8% vs. 8.8%;P < 0.001), and the predictive accuracy of the DRIA score [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC) = 0.845] was superior to the predictive accuracy of PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden, microsatellite instability, and Epstein–Barr virus status. The validation cohort demonstrated that the DRIA score identified responders with microsatellite-stable colorectal and pancreatic adenocarcinoma who received dual PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade with radiation therapy. Furthermore, the predictive performance of the DRIA score was shown to be robust through an extended validation in melanoma, urothelial cancer, and pan-cancer.Conclusions: The DRIA signature has superior and robust predictive accuracy for the efficacy of ICI therapy in GI cancer and pancancer, indicating that the DRIA signature may serve as a powerful biomarker for guiding ICI therapy decisions.展开更多

This study intends to evaluate the clinical predictive value of MDCT and serum tumor biomarkers in lymph node metastasis of GC.Methods: The clinicopathologic data of 445 GC patients who underwent radical gastrectomy were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the diagnostic value of MDCT and serum tumor biomarkers in lymph node metastatic staging of GC before surgery.Results: With the multinomial logistic regression analysis, the independent relative factors of lymph node metastasis of GC were identified as tumor size, depth of tumor invasion, vessel invasion, vascular embolus, and soft tissue invasion. The optimal critical value of the short diameter of lymph nodes detected by MDCT scanning for evaluation of preoperative lymph node metastasis was 6.0 mm, with 75.7% as predictive accuracy of lymph node metastasis compared to the postoperative pathological results of GC patients. In addition, the critical value of the short diameter of lymph nodes combined with serum tumor biomarkers [including carbohydrate antigen(CA)-724 and CA-199] could show an enhancement of predictive sensitivity of lymph node metastasis(up to 89.3%) before surgery.Conclusions: MDCT combined with serum tumor biomarkers should be adopted to improve preoperative sensitivity and accuracy of lymph node metastasis for GC patients.展开更多

The therapeutic value index(TVI) was calculate to evaluate the survival benefit of dissecting each LN station.Results: Of 102 patients with D2-plus lymphadenectomy, 21(20.59%) were pathologically identified as having LN metastases beyond the extent of D2 lymphadenectomy. After matching, the overall survival(OS) was significantly better in the D2-plus than the D2 group(P=0.030). In the multivariate survival analysis, D2-plus lymphadenectomy(hazard ratio, 0.516;P=0.006) was confirmed to significantly improve the survival rate. In the logistic regression analysis, p N stage [odds ratio(OR), 2.533;95% confidence interval(95% CI), 1.368-4.691;P=0.003] and extent of LNs metastasis(OR, 5.965;95% CI, 1.335-26.650;P=0.019) were identified as independent risk factors for LN metastases beyond the extent of D2 lymphadenectomy. The TVI of patient with metastasis to LNs station was 7.1(No. 8p), 5.7(No. 12p), 5.1(No. 13), and 7.1(both No. 16a2 and No. 16b1), respectively.Conclusions: D2-plus lymphadenectomy may improve the prognoses of some patients with advanced GC located in the antrum, especially for No. 8p, No. 12b, No. 13, and No. 16.展开更多

The absorbance information of winter jujube sample surface was obtained through NIR technology, for the building of a full-wave band PLS model of fresh winter jujube sample sprayed with different concentrations of pesticide (taking chlorpyrifos as an example) as well as an SPA-PLS model which was built with the characteristic wavelengths extracted with SPA as the input variables for PLS, and the prediction precision of the two kinds of models was compared. The model built with the five characteristic waveslengths extected by SPA method only used the variables 0.32% of all the variables in the full wave band, but its accuracy and precision were better than the model built with the full wave band. It is feasible to build a model for different concentrations of chlorpyrifos on fresh winter jujube surfarce by NIR technology combined with SPA and PLS, and SPA method could simplify the complexity of the model and improve the precision and stablity of the model.展开更多

Especially in the ter-minal sliding AQM algorithm, a special nonlinear terminal sliding surface is designed in order to force queue length to reach the desired value in finite time. The upper bound of the time is also obtained. Simulation re-sults demonstrate that the proposed congestion algorithm enables the system be better transient and stable performance. At the same time, the robustness is guaranteed.展开更多

In this paper, six impellers with blade outlet backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, and 50° were designed to evaluate the influences of impeller backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> on the performance, characteristics of gas flow and equivalent stress using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA). Results indicated that the performance curve for the outlet backsweep blade angle β<sub>2B</sub> of 50° has the largest stable operating range. The isentropic efficiency of the impeller with backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 40° is 16.8% - 25.9% higher than that of the impeller with backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 0°. When the blade outlet backsweep angle is 30°, the equivalent stress distribution of the impeller is more uniform, the maximum equivalent stress is the smallest.展开更多

In the multivariate survival analysis, D2-plus lymphadenectomy(hazard ratio, 0.516;P=0.006) was confirmed to significantly improve the survival rate. In the logistic regression analysis, p N stage [odds ratio(OR), 2.533;95% confidence interval(95% CI), 1.368-4.691;P=0.003] and extent of LNs metastasis(OR, 5.965;95% CI, 1.335-26.650;P=0.019) were identified as independent risk factors for LN metastases beyond the extent of D2 lymphadenectomy. The TVI of patient with metastasis to LNs station was 7.1(No. 8p), 5.7(No. 12p), 5.1(No. 13), and 7.1(both No. 16a2 and No. 16b1), respectively.Conclusions: D2-plus lymphadenectomy may improve the prognoses of some patients with advanced GC located in the antrum, especially for No. 8p, No. 12b, No. 13, and No. 16.

文摘Cerebral focal ischemic stroke(FIS)is a leading brain disorder associated with human debilitation and death.It is induced by the formation of a thrombus in the arteries that supply blood to the central nervous system.FIS patients may suddenly experience paralysis,impairment of speech and loss of vision.Most patients develop permanent disabilities.In the past decades,enormous efforts have been taken to develop FIS treatment strategies,but unfortunately,there is still a lack of effective ones for this disease.Currently,tissue plasminogen activator is the only Food and Drug Administration approved drug for FIS treatment,however,this method has limited application since it is only effective within 3-5 hours after the onset of FIS.Because of this,the recovery from FIS largely depends on self-brain repair and rehabilitation(Campbell et al.,2019).

文摘With fresh winter jujube from the southern region of Xinjiang as the object of study, the method for detecting pesticide residues on winter jujube surface by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) combined with successive projections algorithm (SPA) and partial least squares (PLS) was investigated. The absorbance information of winter jujube sample surface was obtained through NIR technology, for the building of a full-wave band PLS model of fresh winter jujube sample sprayed with different concentrations of pesticide (taking chlorpyrifos as an example) as well as an SPA-PLS model which was built with the characteristic wavelengths extracted with SPA as the input variables for PLS, and the prediction precision of the two kinds of models was compared. The model built with the five characteristic waveslengths extected by SPA method only used the variables 0.32% of all the variables in the full wave band, but its accuracy and precision were better than the model built with the full wave band. It is feasible to build a model for different concentrations of chlorpyrifos on fresh winter jujube surfarce by NIR technology combined with SPA and PLS, and SPA method could simplify the complexity of the model and improve the precision and stablity of the model.
文摘Based on the proportionally fair scheme that Kelly proposed to solve the optimization problems for utility function in networks, and in order to improve the congestion control performance for the queue in router, the linear and terminal sliding active queue management (AQM) algorithms are designed. Especially in the ter-minal sliding AQM algorithm, a special nonlinear terminal sliding surface is designed in order to force queue length to reach the desired value in finite time. The upper bound of the time is also obtained. Simulation re-sults demonstrate that the proposed congestion algorithm enables the system be better transient and stable performance. At the same time, the robustness is guaranteed.
文摘The main contents of this paper is a new trend of employment status and employment difficulties of professional sports graduates in Jilin, and analysis on Jilin Physical graduates' Internal Education Causes of employment difficulties ,and how to effectively promote employment of Jilin education and sports undergraduate and graduate and implement measures. In this paper, we use literature, interview survey method, to analyze five professional employment situations of the graduates (physical education major, professional sports training, human movement science, and social sports professional, traditional sports professional). From this perspective of the internal education, employment difficulties of professional sports graduates are these : the concept of employment is a direct factor behind their employment difficulties ; university entrepreneurship education are indirect factors behind Kyrgyzstan employment difficulties ; training model obsolete is the root cause of their difficulties in finding jobs; college enrollment in recent years is its employment difficulties catalyst. This article analyzes the employment situation relating to education, and proposed employment countenueasures which professional sports graduates adapt to, namely: to meet market demand, improve professional structural adjustment; establish the concept of occupation after the first job; establish their own businesses and Multiple Employment Awareness; create a "multi-skilltype" physical training model.
文摘As an important parameter of compressor impeller, the design value of blade outlet backsweep angle has a great influence on the performance of impeller. In this paper, six impellers with blade outlet backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, and 50° were designed to evaluate the influences of impeller backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> on the performance, characteristics of gas flow and equivalent stress using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA). Results indicated that the performance curve for the outlet backsweep blade angle β<sub>2B</sub> of 50° has the largest stable operating range. The isentropic efficiency of the impeller with backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 40° is 16.8% - 25.9% higher than that of the impeller with backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 0°. When the blade outlet backsweep angle is 30°, the equivalent stress distribution of the impeller is more uniform, the maximum equivalent stress is the smallest.

文摘The ambient air quality standard(AAQS)is a vital policy instrument for protecting the environment and human health.Hainan Province is at the forefront of China's efforts to protect its ecological environment,with an official goal to achieve world-leading air quality by 2035.However,neither the national AAQS nor the World Health Organization guideline offers sufficient guidance for improving air quality in Hainan because Hainan has well met the former while the latter is excessively stringent.Consequently,the establishment of Hainan's local AAQS becomes imperative.Nonetheless,research regarding the development of local AAQS is scarce,especially in comparatively more polluted countries such as China.The relatively high background values and significant interannual fluctuations in air pollutant concentrations in Hainan present challenges in the development of local AAQS.Our research proposes a world-class local AAQS of Hainan Province by reviewing the AAQS in major countries or regions worldwide,analyzing the influence of different statistical forms,and carefully evaluating the attainability of the standard.In the proposed AAQS,the annual mean concentration limit for PM2.5,the annual 95th percentile of daily maximum 8-h mean(MDA8)concentration limit for O_(3),and the peak season concentration limit for O_(3) are set at 10,120,and 85μg/m^(3),respectively.Our study indicates that,with effective control policies,Hainan is projected to achieve compliance with the new standard by 2035.The implementation of the local AAQS is estimated to avoid 1,526(1,253–1,789)and 259(132–501)premature deaths attributable to longterm exposure to PM2.5 and O_(3) in Hainan in 2035,respectively.

文摘To the Editor:Probiotics are a promising treatment modality for functional constipation(FC);however,the factors affecting individual responses to probiotics remain unclear.Growing evidence has identified that there is a strong relationship among the gut microbiota and constipation and related gut-brain axis.[1]The gut microbiota may modulate the gut functions via gut metabolites or trigger the release of gut hormones,such as peptide YY,gastric inhibitory polypeptide,and 5-hydroxytryptamine.[2]In turn,gut hormones affect gut secretion,motility,and sensation through their receptors located on epithelial,enteric,and smooth muscle cells.[2]Based on these findings,exogenous probiotics have been used in patients with constipation;however,few have produced consistent results.[3]In this study,we investigated the efficacy and safety of several specific probiotics strains for constipation,and also examined the potential reasons for the individualized effects of probiotics,which may facilitate interventional decisionmaking for FC patients.

文摘Direct aging treatment is an important post-processing procedure,yet little research has been done on how it balances the mechanical properties and the stress removal for selective laser melted(SLMed)AlSi10Mg alloys.Here,we proposed a typical direct aging treatment on SLMed AlSi10Mg alloys,and studied the effects on their microstructure,properties and residual stress evolution.The results indi-cate that the as-built microstructure is mainly composed of fine cellularα-Al and reticulated Si phases,and some pre-existing precipitates and dislocations are found in these cells.The direct aging treatment promotes the precipitation of nano-scaled Si phases and preserves a network-like Si structure.Therefore,the strength of the peak-aged alloy increases while the ductility decreases.As the aging temperature in-creases from 160 to 200℃,aging hardening behavior was accelerated significantly.Aging at 160℃ for 4-9 h removes 32.0%-43.0%of the residual stress,which is attributed to the decomposition of the su-persaturatedα-Al matrix,the precipitation of the nano-Si phase and the exposure of low-angle grain boundaries(LAGBs).Considering the overal alloy performance obtained,over-aging at 160℃ for 4 h is the optimized heat treatment regime.Under this condition,the yield strength(YS),ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and elongation(EL)of the alloy in the transverse and longitudinal direction are 309.5 MPa,464.4 MPa and 8.3%and 286.4 MPa,464.9 MPa and 5.1%,respectively.
