Association of clinicopathological factor with lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study by Yangfeng Lin, Zhijie You, Zhijing Lin, Siming Wang, Guohua Yang

“…Results No significant differences were observed between the high NLR (H-NLR) and low NLR (L-NLR) groups in terms of clinicopathological characteristics, including TNM stage, perineural invasion (PNI), lymphovascular invasion (LVI), or serum levels of CEA and CA19-9 respectively (p > 0.05).In contrast, the high PLR (H-PLR) group showed significantly higher prevalence of several adverse pathological features: The H-PLR group had a higher positive PNI (54.2% vs.25.0%,p = 0.04), greater positive LVI(51.6% vs.28.6%,p = 0.025),and more positive TDs (14.4% vs.0,p = 0.028), increased lymph node metastasis (52.9% vs.17.9%,p < 0.001), more elevated CEA (43.1% vs.14.3%,p = 0.005) and more advanced tumor stage (stage II + stage III,81% vs.67.9%,p = 0.003).Univariate analysis identified several factors significantly associated with LNM: T stage (OR = 3.156, 95%CI:1.580–6.303),positive PNI (OR = 6.182,95%CI:3.242–11.787),positive LVI (OR = 10.271,95%CI:5.177–20.375),H-PLR(OR = 5.175,95%CI:1.870−14.321),positive TDs (OR = 3.390,95%CI:1.261–9.117),TLN(OR = 1.053,95%CI:1.005–1.103),elevated CEA(OR = 3.313,95%CI:1.655–5.920) and elevated CA199 (OR = 2.248,95%CI:1.012–4.992) were correlated with LNM using univariate analysis, but only positive LVI(adjusted OR = 6.203,95%CI:2.892–13.303,p < 0.001) and positive PNI (adjusted OR = 3.086,95%CI:1.341–7.102,p = 0.008) were the independent risk factors for LNM using multivariate analysis. …”

Efficient low-delay routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on cross-layer sensing of encountered nodes by Zhi REN, Jian-wei SUO, Hong CHEN, Zhong-hao XU, Qian-bin CHEN

“…An efficient low-delay routing algorithin,name epidemic routing based on cross-layer encountered-node sens-ing (ERCES)was proposed to address the issue that the epidemic-based routing algorithms have some extralatency in sensing encountered nodes and extra overhead in exchanging data packets.ERCES achieves to speed sensing encountered nodes through cross-layer design among the PHY,MAC,and network layers.Moreover,to reduce overhead and to de-crease data latency,it makes a node send novel data packet immediately after encountering other nodes,sends the packets close-by their destinations firstly after receiving summary vector(SV)packets,adaptively varies the period of HELLO packets and deletes the packets reaching their destinations from nodes' memory with the help of SVs.Theoretical anal-,ysis verifies the effectiveness of ERCES.And simulation results show that ERCES reduces by at least 11.3% the control overhead by at least 8.2%,2.1% memory overhead by more than 2.1%,and the average end-to-end delay by at least 11.3%.…”

Selective autonomic stimulation of the AV node fat pad to control rapid post-operative atrial arrhythmias. by Marco A Mercader, Dingchao He, Aditya C Sharma, Mark C Marchitto, Gregory Trachiotis, Gene A Bornzin, Richard Jonas, Jeffrey P Moak

“…FP stimulation at increasing stimulation voltage (SV) demonstrated a voltage-dependent effect (8 +/- 14% (low V) vs. 63 +/- 17 (high V) %, p<0.001). In summary, AV node fat pad stimulation had a selective effect on the AV node by decreasing AV nodal conduction, with little effect on atrial activity.…”
