Objective To explore the effects of seven-step complex decongestion therapy (CDT) on post-operative upper limb lymphede-ma of breast cancer. Methods From August, 2015 to September, 2016, 71 patients with upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery accepted CDT for 20 days, including skin care, opening of lymphatic pathway, relief of scar tissue, manual lymphatic drainage, bandage compression, air pressure wave therapy and functional exercise. The circumference of eight sites of both limbs was measured and the differ-ences were calculated before treatment, and one, five, ten, fifteen and twenty days of the treatment. Results The differences of circumfer-ence increased one to 15 days of the treatment (Z>2.03, P<0.05), and decreased 20 days of the treatment (Z=3.01, P<0.01). Conclusion CDT is effective on lymphedema after breast cancer surgery for 20 days of a course, but may worsen in the first 15 days, which may be relat-ed to acute stress response or redistribution of lymph.

In this study, the mechanism by which Ad-p27mt inhibits the growth, invasion and metastasis of transplanted liver tumor was studied by examining the effects of Ad-27mt gene transfer on the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, VEGF and MMP-9 in the transplanted liver tumors in nude mice. The model of transplanted hepatic tumor was established in nude mice. The mice were then divided into three groups, which were injected with PBS, Ad-LacZ and Ad-p27mt and the growth of the transplanted liver tumor was observed. The expressions of P27, Bax and Bcl-2 proteins were detected by Western blotting and the expressions of VEGF and MMP-9 were immunohistochemically determined. Our result showed that the tumor size, expressions of Bax, Bcl-2 proteins, VEGF and MMP-9 were all lower than those in PBS and Ad-LacZ groups and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Our study suggested that Ad-p27mt could inhibit the growth, invasion and metastasis of hepatic cancer by lowering the expressions of VEGF and MMP-9.

In this study, a neutral desorption-extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry ( ND-EESI-MS) method was developed for the direct and rapid detection of dichlorvos ( DDVP) in honey samples without any sample pretreatment procedure. Under the positive ionization mode, the main characteristic parent ion of DDVP was m/z 223 (MW:222) and daughter ions were m/z 109 and m/z127. Under the optimized working conditions, with the signal intensity of m/z 127 as quantitative index, the quantitative information of DDVP residues in honey was acquired effectively. The results showed that the linear range of DDVP for spiked honey was 5-1000 ng/mL (R2=0. 998) with the limit of detection (LOD) of 1. 0 ng/mL (n=3) and the recoveries for the DDVP spiked honey samples at the concentration levels of 10 , 30 and 400 ng/mL were 93 . 0%-103. 0%, with the relative standard deviations (RSDs, n=6) of less than 4. 4%. Meanwhile, for detection of spiked honey with gas chromatography-flame photometric detector ( GC-FPD ) , the linear range was 5-1000 ng/mL (R2=0. 999) with the LOD of 1. 6 ng/mL(n=3), and the recoveries of DDVP at the spiked honey concentration levels of 10 , 30 and 400 ng/mL were 94 . 9%-110 . 3%, with the RSDs of less than 7. 6%.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of pre-treatment non-enhanced chest CT radiomics features and machine learning algorithm to predict the mutation status and subtype (19Del/21L858R) of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:This retrospective study enrolled 280 NSCLC patients from first and second affiliated hospital of University of South China who were confirmed by biopsy pathology, gene examination, and have pre-treatment non-enhanced CT scans. There are 136 patients were confirmed EGFR mutation. Primary lung gross tumor volume was contoured by two experienced radiologists and oncologists, and 851 radiomics features were subsequently extracted. Then, spearman correlation analysis and RELIEFF algorithm were used to screen predictive features. The two hospitals were training and validation cohort, respectively. Clinical-radiomics model was constructed using selected radiomics and clinical features, and compared with models built by radiomics features or clinical features respectively. In this study, machine learning models were established using support vector machine (SVM) and a sequential modeling procedure to predict the mutation status and subtype of EGFR. The area under receiver operating curve (AUC-ROC) was employed to evaluate the performances of established models.Results:After feature selection, 21 radiomics features were found to be efffective in predicting EGFR mutation status and subtype and were used to establish radiomics models. Three types models were established, including clinical model, radiomics model, and clinical-radiomics model. The clinical-radiomics model showed the best predictive efficacy, AUCs of predicting EGFR mutation status for training dataset and validation dataset were 0.956 (95% CI: 0.952-1.000) and 0.961 (95% CI: 0.924-0.998), respectively. The AUCs of predicting 19Del/L858R mutation subtype for training dataset and validation dataset were 0.926 (95% CI: 0.893-0.959), 0.938 (95% CI: 0.876-1.000), respectively. Conclusions:The constructed sequential models based on integration of CT radiomics, clinical features and machine learning can accurately predict the mutation status and subtype of EGFR.
