Background and purpose:Radiomics is an emerging field that generates large amounts of valuable clinical information through extracting quantitative imaging features. The purpose of this study was to use the radiomics approach to assess the value of features captured from PET and CT in predicting the therapeutic effect in stageⅠ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR).Methods:Patients with stageⅠ NSCLC conifrmed by pathology and treated with SABR were included retrospectively. The gross tumor volume (GTV) was deifned by two radiologists. PET and CT scan images were collected, and radiomic features were further extracted and analyzed. Non-negative matrix factorization was used to distinguish patients with or without local control.Results:Sixteen patients were eligible for analysis. This study identiifed two PET features (LL_GLCM_Maximal_Correlation_Coeffcient and HL_GLRMS_LRE) captured from PET/CT as having signiifcance in classifying patients with or without disease development. This study not ifnd similar results in CT scans.Conclusion:It seems feasible to use radiomics information effects from PET/CT to predict therapeutic effects of SABR in stageⅠ NSCLC. Further investigation is needed.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection of giant gastric stromal tumors without explicit evidence of metastases.Methods A total of 12 giant gastric stromal tumors with no evidence of metastases diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and computed tomography (CT) scan were managed by endoscopic resection.Operation time,blood loss and the incidence rate of perforation were recorded respectively.The diagnoses of tissue specimens were made by pathological examination and immunohistochemistry.In order to assess local recurrence and distant metastases,endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound follow-up examinations were performed routinely at 2,6 and 12 months,and the whole abdominal CT scan was also performed at 12 months after operation.Results Endoscopic resections were successfully performed in 10 of 12 cases (83.3%),among which,6 underwent endoscopic submucosal excavation (ESE) without unexpected perforation and 4 endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR)with intentional perforation.The rate of intentional perforation was 33.3% (4/12),and all the perforations could be sealed by endoscopic methods.The blood losses were all more than 100 ml,which could be controlled by argon plasma coagulation,electrocoagulation or hemostatic clips.In the 10 encapsulated tumors,8 could be smoothly removed from esophagus,whose long diameter of the minimum cross section was less than 3.5 cm,however,2 tumors whose diameters were larger than 3.5 cm were taken out after segmentation.In the 10 tissue samples,9 were confirmed as low risk GIST,1 larger than 5 cm was pathologically confirmed as high risk GIST.During 1-year follow-up,no local recurrence or peritoneal metastasis was found.2 tumors,larger than 5.0 cm,could not be removed by endoscopic methods due to uncontrolled bleeding.The rate of uncontrolled bleeding was 16.7% (2/12).The patients were transferred to surgery,and pathologically confirmed as having high risk GIST.Conclusion For low-risk giant gastric stromal tumors whose diameters were less than 5cm without evidence of metastases,endoscopic resection is considered as a safe and effective procedure.Tumors with long diameter of the minimum cross section less than 3.5 cm are more suitable for endoscopic resection,which can be smoothly taken out through cardia.However,for high-risk GIST larger than 5.0 cm,the rate of uncontrolled bleeding is high,so endoscopic resection should be adopted with discretion.

Objective:To investigate the effect of glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitor TWS119 on hunman γδT cells growth and phenotypic characteristics. Methods:Using γδT medium to cultivate human peripheral blood γδT cells in vitro. After co-cultured with different concentrations of glycogen synthase kinase-3β( GSK-3β) inhibitor 4, 6-disubstituted pyrrolopyrimidine ( TWS119 ) for indicated time,growth curve and Wnt/β-catenin activation of in each group were determined by CCK-8 and Western blot assays. The CD62L and CD45RA expression theγδT cells were detected using flow cytometry. Results:Wnt/β-catenin pathway ofγδT cells could activate by TWS119. In the first group,TWS119 could upregulate the expression of CD62L and CD45RA in dose dependent manner while inhibit the growth and ratio of γδT cells. In the second group,TWS119 could promote the growth and ratio of γδT cells with the increase in concentration from 0 μmol/L to 4. 0 μmol/L and decreased thereafter. Besides,TWS119 could promote the expression of CD62L in a dose-dependent and had no effect on the CD45RA. Conclusion: Human γδT cells isolated from peripheral blood treated with TWS119 gave rise to two subsets of CD45RA+CD62L+γδT cells and CD62L+γδT cells.

This study was purposed to explore the mechanisms of preventive effect of tetrandrine (TTD) on doxorubicin (ADM)-induced multidrug resistance (MDR) in human leukemia cell line K562 from two aspects of the transcription control of MDR1 gene and cell apoptosis. The experiment was divided into 3 groups: group I-blank control; group II-ADM-induced drug-resistance; group III-ADM-induced drug-resistance after pretreatment with TTD. Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of c-Jun, YB-1 and Survivin genes. Western blot was used to determine the nuclear protein expression levels of c-Jun and YB-1. Flow cytometry was used to assay the apoptosis of cells. The results showed that as compared with group I, the expression levels of c-Jun mRNA and nuclear protein decreased (p < 0.05), as well as the expression levels of YB-1 mRNA and nuclear protein increased in group II (p < 0.05). However, the expression of Survivin mRNA had no change (p > 0.05); the apoptosis rate of cells was 8.31%. As compared with group II, the expression levels of c-Jun mRNA and nuclear protein increased (p < 0.05), expression levels of YB-1 mRNA and nuclear protein as well as Survivin mRNA decreased in group III (p < 0.05). The apoptosis of cells was 97.2%. It is concluded that TTD can inhibit the expression of YB-1 and up-regulate the expression of c-Jun, thus inhibit the expression of MDR1 gene. TTD can also inhibit the expression of Survivin and increase the apoptosis of cells induced by ADM.
