The op-timal cutoff values of related parameters were estimated by receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve analysis. The recurrence free survival （RFS） rate was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Univariate analysis and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze the prognostic factors of GISTs. The relationship between the FIB, D-dimer, DFR, platelet count （PLT）, and the clinicopathological features of GISTs was described by the chi-square test or nonparametric rank sum test （Mann-Whitney test）.RESULTS In ROC analysis, the optimal cutoff values of FIB, D-dimer, DFR, and PLT were 3.24 g/L, 1.24 mg/L, 0.354, and 197.5 （× 109/L）, respectively. Univariate analysis and the Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that FIB, D-dimer, DFR, PLT,National Institutes of Health （NIH） risk category, tumor size, tumor location, and mitotic index were signifcantly relevant to the 3-year and 5-year survival rate of patients （ P 〈 0.05）. Cox multivariate regression analysis illustrated that FIB （RR： 0.108, 95%CI： 0.031-0.373）, DFR （RR： 0.319, 95%CI： 0.131-0.777）, and NIH risk category （ RR： 0.166, 95%CI： 0.047-0.589） were independent prognostic factors of the RFS rate （ P 〈 0. 05）. Moreover, FIB, D-dimer, DFR, and PLT were correlated with the clinical features of GISTs.CONCLUSIONFIB, D-dimer, DFR, and PLT are all related to the prognosis of GISTs. Moreover, FIB and DFR may be independent risk factors for predicting the prognosis of resectable GISTs.展开更多

Key factors such as measuring borehole orientation, borehole-reinforcement distance, and multiple-section reinforcement rods are discussed which contributes valid and quantitative reference for using the magnetic method to detect reinforcement rods. Through tests with model piles, we confirm the accuracy of theoretical computations and then utilize the law discovered in theoretical computations to explain the characteristics of the actual testing curves. The results show that the Za curves of the reinforcement rod reflect important factors regarding the reinforcement rods, such as rod length, change of reinforcement ratio, length of overlap, and etc. This research perfects the magnetic method for detecting reinforcement rods in bored in-situ concrete piles and the method has great importance for preventing building contractor fraud.展开更多
