METHODS Histologic features of capsules including cell cytology, the distribution of activated (proliferating) cells, apoptosing cells, and membrane bound vesicles (presumed death messengers) were assessed by light microscopy and correlated with clinicopathologic...

The elevation for lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) plays an important role in therapeutic decision-making thyroid carcinoma. A reliable forecasting model LLNM patients with papillary micro-carcinoma (PTMC) is needed, using clinicopathological characteristics. total of 576 PTMC suspicious cervical (II, III, IV or V region) and known variables were randomly collected at Shenzhen Second People...

Abstract Background Hepatobiliary mucinous cystic neoplasms (H-MCNs) are relatively rare in the liver. The differential diagnosis of H-MCNs remains big challenging, and management prognosis between hepatic simple cyst (HSC) quite different. This study aimed to present our experience provide a preoperative risk prediction nomogram differentiating from liver lesions. Methods 29 patients diagnosed...

Background In this study, we developed and validated machine learning (ML) models by combining radiomic features extracted from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with clinicopathological factors to assess pulmonary nodule classification for benign malignant diagnosis. Methods A total of 333 consecutive patients nodules (233 in the training cohort 100 validation cohort) were enrolled. 2,824 MRI i...

Background. The long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) remains poor due to postoperative recurrence and metastasis. increasing evidence show that the lymph node ratio (LNR) serves as an independent prognostic factor in patients with GC. In this study, we aimed develop a signature for GC based on LNR. Methods. Survival analysis was conducted by comparing low- high-LNR groups according optima...

Many large-scale surveys measure subjective well-being (SWB) through a single survey item. This paper takes advantages of response time data to explore the relation between time taken to answer a single SWB item and the reliability and validity of answers to this SWB item. We found that reliability and validity of answers to the SWB item are low for fast respondents aged 70 and above and slow r...
