[Comment] Local excision versus radical resection for grade 2 rectal neuroendocrine tumors: a multicenter propensity score-matched analysis by Chen Zhifen

“…[Conclusions] Grade 2 rectal neuroendocrine tumors have a nonnegligible rate of lymph node metastasis. Local excision is a feasible choice for tumors of ≤1.5 cm size without metastasis, whereas radical resection is more beneficial in those of >1.5 cm size.…”

Efficacy and Survival Analysis of Radiotherapy for Internal Mammary Lymph Nodes After Modified Radical Mastectomy for T1-3N3M0 the Lateral Quadrant Breast Cancer by Han X, Jiang D, Zhu C, Li D, Yin H

“…Multifactorial showed that T stage, PR status, vascular cancer embolism, it was an independent prognostic factor affecting the 5-year OS of patients, and PR expression status (P=0.038) was an independent prognostic factor affecting the 5-year LRR.Conclusion: For breast cancer patients located in the outer quadrant and more than 9 axillary lymph node positives, increasing IMNI failed to improve the 5-year prognosis of the patients, and for patients with late N stage, PR receptor-negative, and vascularity cancer thrombosis positive, the 5-year OS of breast cancer postoperative patients could be reduced, and the PR receptor positivity could reduce the 5-year LRR of patients. …”

Guided evolutionary game algorithm of unstructured P2P network by Guohui ZHU, Chunlan LU, Rui ZHANG

“…In order to promote the cooperation among the nodes which exist in dynamic and open peer-to-peer network,G-SLACER algorithm was provided by introducing pacesetter nodes.30% of network nodes were initialized to pacesetter nodes.In the process of topology reconstruction,a guided link to the most advantage node was added.To encourage studies between nodes,the payoff of the whole network was increased.The experimental results show that the G-SLACER algorithm has good generality for different sizes of networks,and it enhances the stability of CCP.Compared with other evolutionary game algorithms,cooperation state of P2P network formed by G-SLACER algorithm appears earlier and more stable.…”

Service priority-aware network traffic scheduling mechanism by Huahui LV, Zhida LIN, Hongcong HUANG

“…In view of the problem that network congestion which caused by the uneven distribution in large traffic data,a priority-aware dynamic network traffic scheduling mechanism was proposed.By using the token bucket algorithm,different buckets of different rates were assigned to different services according to the service priorities.The priorities of the service and the remaining buffer space of the user nodes was taken into account to deal with different services.At the same time,the traffic arrival factor,service factor and node cache were regarded as target to define a network traffic scheduling mechanism performance indicator:packet loss rate.The numerical results show that the proposed mechanism can rationally divide the service priorities in the network,effectively utilize the network resources,prevent the network congestion,enhance the network performance,and provide the users with more stable and reliable network service.…”

Secure resource allocation in hybrid energy-harvesting relay and full-duplex receiver by Wei WANG, Xinrui LI, Liuguo YIN, Guoan ZHANG, Shibing ZHANG

“…Taking into account the wireless physical layer security in energy-constrained relaying systems,a secure resource allocation scheme was proposed under simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol.The utility optimization problem was considered aiming to maximize the secrecy rate by jointly optimizing the power splitting (PS) ratio and the transmit powers under the constraint of the transmit powers of the nodes and the harvested energy of the relay.The objective problem,which is non-convex,was decoupled into two subproblems.One was to optimize the PS ratio,another was to optimize the transmit powers.The optimal solution of the subproblems can be obtained in the closed-form.Then,the suboptimal solution is obtained with the proposed convergent iterative algorithm.Simulation results show the effects of artificial noise signal,residual self-interference signal,transmit power of nodes,amplification factor of relay and other factors on the security performance.Compared with the traditional gradient descent algorithm,the proposed algorithm can reduce more than 80% of the computational load,while the algorithm has the slightly better performance.…”
