Postoperative radiotherapy enhances survival in NSCLC patients with moderate lymph node metastases following surgery: A SEER-based population cohort study.

The role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still debated. A nonlinear relationship may exist between the number of positive lymph nodes (PLN) and the benefits of PORT. Our study seeks to identify patient subgroups that could benefit from PORT by stratifying them based on PLN counts.

Frequency of child restraint system use and parental knowledge of such systems in western China.

Antimicrobial activity, chemical composition and mechanism of action of Chinese chive ( Rottler) extracts.

Chinese chive ( Rottler) is a popular food from species in East and Southeast Asia. Most species possess characteristic aromas and have antimicrobial activity. In this study, the antimicrobial activities of root, leaf, and scape extracts of Chinese chive at different pH levels (3.

H19X-encoded miR-322(424)/miR-503 regulates muscle mass by targeting translation initiation factors.

Background: Skeletal muscle atrophy is a debilitating complication of many chronic diseases, disuse conditions, and ageing. Genome-wide gene expression analyses have identified that elevated levels of microRNAs encoded by the H19X locus are among the most significant changes in skeletal muscles in a wide scope of human cachectic conditions. We have previously reported that the H19X locus is important for the establishment of striated muscle fate during embryogenesis.

Incidence and survival differences in esophageal cancer among ethnic groups in the United States.

Objectives: This study was performed to identify the differences in incidence, clinicopathological features, and survival in esophageal cancer among ethnic groups in the United States and to determine the reasons for the differences.

Result: A total of 49,766 patients were included. Black and Asian groups had a higher proportion of squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (85.

Comparative Analysis of Clinicopathologic Features of, Treatment in, and Survival of Americans with Lung or Bronchial Cancer.

Ethnic disparities in lung and bronchial cancer diagnoses and disease-specific survival (DSS) rates in the United States are well known. However, few studies have specifically assessed these differences in Asian subgroups. The primary objectives of the retrospective analysis described herein were to identify any significant differences in clinicopathologic features, treatment, and survival rate between Asian lung cancer patients and lung cancer patients in other broad ethnic groups in the United States and to determine the reasons for these differences among subgroups of Asian patients with lung or bronchial cancer.
