| 1 | Individualized prediction of perineural invasion in colorectal cancer: development and validation of a radiomics prediction model显示文摘Objective: To develop and validate a radiomics prediction model for individualized prediction of perineural invasion(PNI) in colorectal cancer(CRC).Methods: After computed tomography(CT) radiomics features extraction, a radiomics signature was constructed in derivation cohort(346 CRC patients). A prediction model was developed to integrate the radiomics signature and clinical candidate predictors [age, sex, tumor location, and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) level]. Apparent prediction performance was assessed. After internal validation, independent temporal validation(separate from the cohort used to build the model) was then conducted in 217 CRC patients. The final model was converted to an easy-to-use nomogram.Results: The developed radiomics nomogram that integrated the radiomics signature and CEA level showed good calibration and discrimination performance [Harrell's concordance index(c-index): 0.817; 95% confidence interval(95% CI): 0.811–0.823]. Application of the nomogram in validation cohort gave a comparable calibration and discrimination(c-index: 0.803; 95% CI: 0.794–0.812).Conclusions: Integrating the radiomics signature and CEA level into a radiomics prediction model enables easy and effective risk assessment of PNI in CRC. This stratification of patients according to their PNI status may provide a basis for individualized auxiliary treatment. | Yanqi Huang Lan He Di Dong Caiyun Yang Cuishan Liang Xin Chen Zelan Ma Xiaomei Huang Su Yao Changhong Liang Jie Tian Zaiyi Liu | 2018 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2018，30，1： | 23 |
| 2 | Humanin attenuates Alzheimer-like cognitive deficits and pathological changes induced by amyloid β-peptide in rats显示文摘Amyloid β-peptide(Aβ) has been implicated as a key molecule in the neurodegenerative cascades of Alzheimer 's disease(AD). Humanin(HN) is a secretory peptide that inhibits the neurotoxicity of Aβ. However, the mechanism(s) by which HN exerts its neuroprotection against Aβ-induced ADlike pathological changes and memory deficits are yet to be completely defined. In the present study,we provided evidence that treatment of rats with HN increases the number of dendritic branches and the density of dendritic spines, and upregulates pre- and post-synaptic protein levels; these effects lead to enhanced long-term potentiation and amelioration of the memory deficits induced by Aβ1-42. HN also attenuated Aβ1-42-induced tau hyperphosphorylation,apparently by inhibiting the phosphorylation of Tyr307 on the inhibitory protein phosphatase-2A(PP2A)catalytic subunit and thereby activating PP2 A. HN also inhibited apoptosis and reduced the oxidativestress induced by Aβ1-42. These findings provide novel mechanisms of action for the ability of HN to protect against Aβ1-42-induced AD-like pathological changes and memory deficits. | Gao-Shang Chai Dong-Xiao Duan Rong-Hong Ma Jian-Ying Shen Hong-Lian Li Zhi-Wei Ma Yu Luo Lu Wang Xin-Hua Qi Qun Wang Jian-Zhi Wang Zelan Wei Darrell D.Mousseau Li Wang Gongping Liu | 2014 | Neuroscience Bulletin2014，30，6： | 7 |
