Neutropenia is a common adverse reaction of chemotherapy. We assessed whether chemotherapy-induced neutropenia could be predictor survival for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A total 387 chemotherapy-naïve who received chemotherapy (vinorelbine and gemcitabine followed by docetaxel, or paclitaxel carboplatin) in randomised controlled trial were evaluated. The proportional-hazards regression model was used to examine the effects tumour response on overall survival. Landmark...
A detailed retrospective analysis of the efficacy intraoperative radiotherapy (IOR) in advanced carcinoma pancreas is presented. During a 10-year period from 1973 through 1982, 70 patients with were treated by multimodal methods, separate or combined therapy surgery, IOR, and chemotherapy two different institutions. Among these, 33 underwent mostly additive surgery. single dose 20.1 to 40.0 Gy 8 25 meV electrons was delivered radiation cones ranging 6 10 cm diameter. Excellent relief noticed...
Aim: This study aimed to investigate useful prognostic factors of immunotherapy in patients with lung cancer. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively observed 73 who underwent (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab) for The systemic inflammatory score (SIS) was calculated as the sum following scored one point each: Hemoglobin <12.5 g/dl serum albumin <3.6 g/dl, resulting scores 0-2. examined correlation between SIS initial tumor response progression-free overall survival other...
Knoop hardness is examined as a function of indenter orientation on the (0001), {100} and {110} surfaces TiB2, ZrB2 HfB2. The two kinds prismatic planes anisotropy each plane are higher than those basal in TiB2. tends to be that ZrB2, but difference between them not very large. In HfB2, itself large, contrary have tendency give plane, small. measured compared with result obtained analytical method main slip system contributes these crystals discussed.
Three‐dimensional (3D) carbon fiber reinforced SiC and Si 3 N 4 composites have been fabricated using repeated infiltration of an organosilicon slurry under vacuum pressure. Open porosity the infiltrated body was reduced from 40% after first to approximately 8% seventh cycle. Further reduction open less than 3% accomplished by hot‐press densification. The maximum values flexural strength fracture toughness were, respectively, 260 MPa 7.3 MPa·m 1/2 for C/Si composites, 185 6 C/SiC composite.
An additive effect on the pressureless sintering of boron carbide is investigated. Some species, Al, TiB2, and AlF3 show a remarkable densification upon B4C. The Al-addition provides best sintered body with highest bulk density 95% by means firing condition 2200°C for 30min under Argon flow. addition SiC prevents process. species except tend to restrain grain growth pore growth, acting probably as an inhibitor surface matter transport.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Even after early detection and curative resection of stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a significant fraction patients develop recurrent disease. Molecular biomarkers that can predict the risk recurrence thus need to be identified improve clinical outcomes. METHODS: Using methylation‐specific polymerase chain reaction assay, promoter methylation breast susceptibility gene 1 ( BRCA1 ) was assessed in tissues from 70 with curatively resected I NSCLC. The relevance...
Silicon carbide composites reinforced with unidirectionally oriented carbon fibers have been fabricated by slurry impregnation followed hot pressing. Identification of crystalline phases, observation the metallographic structure, and measurement flexural strength fracture toughness at room high temperatures in vacuum were carried out. The 420MPa 13MPa√m temperature about 600MPa 20MPa√m 1400° to 1600°C. improvement mechanical properties was explained suppression crack propagation increment...
Abstract Systematic research works were carried out to clarify the effects of weave density, yarn twist, and count on fabric handle polyester fabrics made for purpose, quantitative influence was clearly shown. "Kosh" "hari" increase with weft density "shinayakasa" "shari" decrease density. The effect "fukurami" "kishimi" is small. twist revealed remarkably dechine yoryu. "Koshi" in case dechine; however, all primary handles a little "Kishimi" yoryu increases greatly twist. decreases taffeta...
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of carboplatin plus weekly paclitaxel with bevacizumab in patients advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients Methods: stage IIIB/IV or postoperative recurrent NSCLC (n=33) were treated (area under curve 6) on day 1; (80 mg/m<sup>2</sup>) days 1, 8, 15; (15 mg/kg) 1 repeated every 4 weeks, for four six cycles; followed by maintenance 3 weeks. Results: The overall response rate was 76%. median progression-free survival...
Scedosporium prolificans is a fungus that has demonstrated resistance against most currently available antifungal agents and which causes rapidly disseminating potentially fatal infection. A 68-year-old woman presented with fever consolidation in the lung field. Her symptoms inflammatory reaction did not improve despite treatment tazobactam/piperacillin, meropenem, micafungin. was detected from patient's bronchial lavage fluid, we initiated voriconazole. Voriconazole effective shrinking...
Hot tub lung is a disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex. We report the first case of familial hot appearing simultaneously in husband and wife. Our supports consideration that hypersensitivity pneumonitis rather than an infectious disease. It also suggests state changes seasonally depending on temperature variations, manner similar to summer-type pneumonitis. This demonstrates similarities between regards occurrence seasonal state.
The effect of the pressure-pulsed chemical vapour infiltration on improving quality CMC-parts has been investigated. In a fabrication process three-dimensional C/SiC composites, PCVI was applied as final densification step for specimens made by joint consisting slurry and polycarbosilane impregnation/pyrolysis. carried out in temperature range 1323-1423 K using source gas system SiCl{sub 4}-CH{sub 4}-H{sub 2}. crystalline phases deposited varied with temperature, concentration holding time....
Background: As the human society grows more aged, it is considered important to elucidate factors essential in applying radical radiotherapy (RT) elderly, with ages as high 90 years and greater.
