Computational Investigation and Screening of High-Energy-Density Materials: Based on Nitrogen-Rich 1,2,4,5-tetrazine Energetic Derivatives
Authors: Zeng Lian , Jiang Yuhe , Wu Jinting , Li Hongbo , Zhang Jianguo
Published: March 2021

Abstract: In the present work, the geometric structures, the frontier
molecular orbitals and the enthalpy of formation (HOF) of thirty six 1,
2, 4, 5-tetrazine derivatives (FTT) were systematically studied by using
the B3LYP/6-311+G* method of density functional theory. Meanwhile, we
also predicted the stability, detonation properties and thermodynamic
properties of all FTT compounds. Results showed that all compounds have
superior enthalpy of formation far exceeding that of common explosives
RDX and HMX, ranging from 859kJ·mol-1-1532kJ·mol-1. In addition, the
detonation performance (Q = 1426cal·g-1 -1804cal·g-1; P = 29.54GPa -
41.84GPa; D = 8.02km·s-1 - 9.53km·s-1), which is superior to TATB and
TNT. It is also concluded that the introduction of coordination oxygen
on the tetrazine ring can improve the HOF, density and detonation
performance of the title compound, and -NH-NH- bridge and -NHNO2 group
are also the perfect combination to increase these values. In view of
stability, because of the fascinating performance of D3 (ρ =1.89g·cm-3;
D = 9.38km·s-1; P = 40.13GPa)，E3(ρ = 1.87g·cm-3; D = 9.19km·s-1; P =
38.35GPa), F1 (ρ = 1.87g·cm-3; D = 9.42km·s-1; P = 40.23GPa) and F3 (ρ=
1.92g·cm-3; D = 9.53km·s-1; P = 41.84GPa), makes them very attractive to
be chosen as HEDMs.

Published: March 2021

Infected coronary artery aneurysms present high mortality and surgical
management is the treatment of choice in most cases. We present a case
of a giant infected aneurysm of the mid right coronary artery
complicated with purulent pericarditis in an 83-year-old male patient.
It is unknown whether the aneurysm or purulent pericarditis preceded.
The patient underwent urgent aneurysm resection and coronary artery
distal bypass grafting. He died 24 hours after the operation. When
purulent pericarditis and ICAA co-exist the riddle of the chicken and
the egg becomes apparent.
Intraspecific kin recognition contributes to interspecific allelopathy：A case study of allelopathic rice interference with paddy weeds
Authors: Xu You , Cheng Huifang , Kong Chuihua , Meiners Scott
Published: March 2021

Species interactions and mechanisms affect plant coexistence and
community assembly. Despite increasing knowledge of kin recognition and
allelopathy in regulating interspecific and intraspecific interactions
among plants, little is known about whether kin recognition mediates
allelopathic interference. We used allelopathic rice cultivars with the
ability for kin recognition grown in kin vs. non-kin mixtures to
determine their impacts on paddy weeds in field trials and a series of
controlled experiments. We experimentally tested potential mechanisms of
the interaction via altered root behavior, allelochemical production,
and soil microbial community composition, as well as carbon and nitrogen
partitioning in the weeds. We consistently found that the establishment
and growth of paddy weeds were more inhibited by kin mixtures compared
to non-kin mixtures. The effect was driven by kin recognition that
induced altered root placement, established similar soil microbial
communities, and altered weed carbon and nitrogen partitioning.
Importantly, genetic relatedness enhanced the production of intrusive
roots towards weeds and reduced the production of rice allelochemicals.
These findings suggest that relatedness allows allelopathic plants to
discriminate their neighboring collaborators (kin) or competitors and
then adjust their growth, competitiveness and chemical defense
accordingly.
A Narrative Review on Adverse Effects of Dasatinib With a Focus on Pharmacotherapy of Dasatinib-Induced Pulmonary Toxicities
Authors: Nekoukar Zahra , Moghimi Minoo , Salehifar Ebrahim
Published: March 2021

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative disorder, is caused
by overactivity of BCR-ABL1 (breakpoint cluster region-Abelson) has been
successfully treated by Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). While
imatinib is known as the first-line treatment of CML, in some cases
other TKIs including dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, and ponatinib may
be preferred. Dasatinib, a second-generation TKI, inhibits multiple
family kinases including BCR-ABL, SRC family kinases, receptor kinases,
and TEC family kinases. It is effective against most imatinib-resistant
cases except T315I mutation. Despite the superiority of dasatinib in CML
hematologic and cytogenetic responses compared to imatinib, its
potentially harmful pulmonary complications including pleural effusion
(PE) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may limit its use.
Appropriate management of these serious adverse reactions is critical in
both improving the quality of life and outcome of patients. In this
narrative review, we will scrutinize the pulmonary complications of
dasatinib and focus on the management of these toxicities.
Asymptotic stability of a viscoelastic problem with time-varying delay in boundary feedback
Authors: Rahmoune Abita
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we investigate a nonlinear viscoelastic equation. By assuming time-varying delay feedback acting on the boundary, under certain assumptions on the given data, the general decay estimates for the energy are established by introducing suitable Lyapunov functionals. This model improves earlier ones in the literature in which only the dissipative term in the feedback condition is considered.

Authors: Algehyne Ebrahem A. , Saeed Tareq , Ibrahim Muhammad , Berrouk Abdallah S. , Chu Yu-Ming
Published: March 2021

In this study, to accurately predict the temperature and melting ratio at low time and cost, the process of dissimilar laser welding of stainless steel 304 and copper was simulated based on artificial neural network (ANN). Among various ANN models, the Bayesian regulation backpropagation training method was utilized to model the current problem. This method was used considering the two temperatures of copper and steel and the two melting ratios of steel and copper as the four outputs, and the four parameters, pulse width, pulse frequency, welding speed, and focal length, as the inputs. According to the results, regression values had a good accuracy in all cases and the histogram diagrams indicated that the error distribution was mainly concentrated at the center; in other words, the major errors of the network were not very large. It was also observed that the error concerning the trained neural networks was acceptable in the experiment phase. Finally, this neural network could be used as a numerical model to estimate the four outputs of steel temperature, copper temperature, steel melting ratio, and copper melting ratio for all input values of pulse width, pulse frequency, welding speed, and focal length in the studied range, without any need to rerun the experiment.

The incidence and distribution of anomalies found in the pregnant women applied to Kayseri City Hospital for obstetric ultrasound in 2019: a retrospective analysis
Authors: Tutuş Şadan
Published: March 2021

Objective Our aim is to determine the incidence and distribution of anomalies found in the pregnant women referred to the first obstetric radiology outpatient clinic of our hospital for ultrasound (US) examination in 2019. Methods A total of 5661 obstetric US examinations were performed in 4018 pregnant women, 588 of whom were foreigners, for routine control, follow-up and screening purposes between January 1 and December 31, 2019, and their results were analyzed retrospectively after obtaining the approval of ethics committee. All US examinations were conducted by a single radiologist (ŞT) with Canon Aplio 500 ultrasound device (Canon Medical Systems Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) using 3.5 Mhz convex probe. The results of the cases with anomalies were accessed and grouped systematically, and their incidence and distribution were reviewed by comparing with the literature. Results As a result of the reviewed obstetric US examinations, a total of 62 fetuses with anomalies, 17 of whom were from the foreign pregnant women, were found to have anomalies. Of these anomalies, 29 were craniospinal, 10 were genitourinary, 6 were cardiac, 6 were skeletal, 3 were gastrointestinal, 2 were thoracic and 6 were unclassified. The pregnant women were between 17 and 43 (27.5±7.21) years old and their weeks of gestation were varying between 11 and 39 (22.3±8.63) weeks. There were 8 (13%) pregnant women younger than 20 years old, 43 (69%) pregnant women between 20 and 35 years old, and 11 (18%) pregnant women older than 35 years old. Anomaly diagnosis was established during first trimester in 14 (22.5%) fetuses, 26 (42%) fetuses during second trimester, and 22 (35.5%) fetuses during third trimester. Conclusion We found in our study that the incidence of fetuses with congenital anomaly was 1.54% in total, 2.89% in foreigners and 1.31% in Turkish citizens. The most common anomaly is acrania with 7 (0.15%) cases, and the diagnosis was established during first trimester in six of them. Detailed fetal screening during first trimester is very important for the detection of non-chromosomal anomalies. However, second- and third-trimester examinations are also important for the accurate diagnosis in pregnancies without follow-up.

Использование нейронных сетей в агропромышленной деятельности в задаче распознавания различных культур и сорняков - новое направление с историей менее 10 лет. Десятки новых нейронных сети появляются каждый год, но отсутствие каких-либо стандартов существенно затрудняет понимание реальной ситуации использования нейронной сети в аграрном секторе. В рукописи мы проанализировали исследования за последние 10 лет по использованию нейронных сетей для классификации и отслеживание посевов и сорняков в сельском хозяйстве. Мы представили анализ результатов использования различных нейронной сети для задач классификации и отслеживания. Наконец, мы сделали рекомендации по использованию нейронных сетей в задачах распознавания культивируемого объекта и сорняков.
現代自由主義、女性割禮，及傳統的合理性
Authors: BISHOP Jeffrey P.
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese寬容是西方自由主義的核心，它讓相互排斥的觀念與行為可以相互和平的共存， 而不是讓這些觀念與行為的支持者們相互消滅。但是，在對寬容的挑戰方面，遜奈、女性割禮、陰蒂切除或生殖器殘害等帶來的的挑戰可以說是獨一無二的。在這篇文章中，我對西方人對上述行為的批評進行了批判，這並非是要為它們作辯護，而是要指出，西方自由主義本身並沒有提供一個跨文化和永恆的原理，因為它的原理只是在自由主義傳統內部才獲得融貫的。西方人對於遜奈的批評經常將非洲婦女的身體象徵化為陰蒂，這是西方關於性和政治自由概念的象徵。遜奈實踐在其信仰、傳統的網絡之內是融貫的，施行者就是在這些網絡內實施它們的，並因此在這些傳統中得到合理性的辯護。麥金泰爾關於道德質詢的概念於不同傳統間的文化及道德對話這一複雜世界裏，給我提供了一個指導。DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 92 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

知情同意的權利主體: 儒家倫理視角下的考察
Authors: YANG Tongwei , FENG Zhangqi
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.“ 知情同意”這個在西方文化背景中產生的倫理和法律術語在中國仍然是一個比較新的概念。尤其是對於知情同意的權利主體這一基本問題，在立法實踐和臨床實務中仍存在認識模糊和不一致之處。本文基於儒家家庭倫理的基本精神——尊重個人意願與家庭關懷的統一，提出了關於知情同意權利主體的立法建議。在儒家倫理中，主張“和而不同”、“互以對方為重”，體現了尊重個人意願的思想。在儒家倫理中還主張“父慈子孝”、“兄友弟恭”、“夫婦和順”，體現了家庭關懷。可見，在儒家倫理視野下，知情同意權利並非由家屬包辦，也非僅僅屬於患者而和家庭無關，而是在患者做主前提下的家庭參與，是患者做主與家庭關懷的統一。所以，對於有同意能力的患者而言，其本人所作的同意表示才具有法律效力；只有在某些特殊的情形下患者家屬才可以代為簽署知情同意書或者代行知情同意權利。Informed consent has been a core principle endorsed by modern Western medical ethics. It involves patient-physician relationship as well as family relationship. It has been a focus of debates since it was introduced to the Chinese world whether informed consent is agreeable to the cultural ethos of China, and if not, whether it can be applied transculturally. This paper first discusses three principles in the policy of informed consent: 1. the principle of individual autonomy; 2. the principle of non-maleficence; and 3. the principle of effectiveness. Then the paper explores the issue informed consent within the framework of the Confucian concept of family and family values, indicating that in Confucian ethics, the idea of“ harmony in diversity” acknowledges the importance of individuality whereas the notion of reciprocal relationship emphasizes the interconnectedness of everyone in family and society at large. We should always look for a balanced point between the right of the patient and the duty of the physician, and between the interest of an individual person and the interest of the family as a unit.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 183 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
試論儒家倫理對構建當代生命科技倫理的價值
Authors: SHEN Xiuqin , YANG Tongwei
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.20 世紀末生命科技的迅速發展，對傳統的倫理觀念帶來了巨大的衝擊，引發了很多棘手的倫理問題。為了解決這些問題，構建適應生命科技發展的倫理體系不僅非常必要，而且異常迫切。很多學者都認為儒家倫理與生命科技倫理要求相悖。但筆者認為，儒家倫理思想中的 “仁愛”、“己所不欲，勿施於人”以及“天人合一”等寶貴的思想資源對當今生命科技倫理構建是有著重要價值的。因此，本文試圖充分挖掘傳統儒家倫理中的優勢資源，探討儒家倫理對現代生命科技倫理構建有益的幾個基本理念以及對和諧人與人之間，人與社會之間以及人與自然之間的價值所在，以發揮其對當代生命科技倫理構建的引導作用。We live in an age of unprecedented human mastery — over birth and death, body and mind, nature and human nature. The rapid pace of scientific and technological development is not always matched by the ethical considerations within wider society on the impacts of such development. Very often, technological progress such as organ transplants and genetic engineering is not always ethically acceptable. Meanwhile, traditional ethical values also face great challenges. Contemporary science and technology ethics re-examines the ethical issues by which we live and ask the question: do we have in place the ethical guidelines through which we can incorporate these developments with the minimum of disruption and disaffection?This paper attempts to address the science and technology ethics with the framework of Confucianism. Some Chinese scholars tend to hold the view that Confucianism is incompatible with the contemporary discourse in terms of bioscience, biotechnology and bioethics. We shall then argue that we should employ the existing ethical systems, Confucianism for example, to approach the problems, and thus come up with a new perspective to look at technological applications in terms of engineering processes and products, bioethics and informatics, and our environmental responsibilities. The Confucian life philosophy in terms of “benevolence,”“ respecting life,” and the“ unity of heaven and humans” will redirect our attention from purely human-centered interests to a more balanced concern via a harmony between self and other, humans and nature.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 378 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
儒家誠信倫理乃醫患誠信之本——重塑中國現代醫患信任關係
Authors: YANG Yang
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.針對中國現代社會轉型期的醫患信任危機，本文試從儒家“誠”、“信”的倫理思想出發，揭示儒家誠信思想之本質在於將“誠”作修身之本，以“信”為人倫之道。並通過分析儒家誠信思想側重對人品人格的內在德性的強調，進一步結合傳統社會的醫患交往模式得出傳統社會醫患誠信的特徵是基於醫者篤行“誠信”儒志的人格信任的結論。進而指出儒家誠信思想對改善現代社會轉型期市場經濟衝擊下，醫生逐利失信、患者寓信於利，雙方產生信任危機是具有現實意義的。本文總結出，在社會轉型和醫患關係日趨複雜化的當今，患者弱勢和醫學本質的內在要求從根本上決定了，只有形成一種以醫生為主的道德性信任，即醫生在充分正確認識醫學目的和醫患利益關係後形成作為醫學專業人員的種人生態度和專業精神，進而贏得患者的信任。同時，這種相對穩固的信任關係的形成，也離不開有效的監督機制與合理的制度建設等社會誠信機制的建立。A crisis of trust exists in the doctor-patient relationship in contemporary transitional China. This essay applies the Confucian notions of sincerity and trustworthiness to analyze the causes of the crisis. It argues that sincerity is the root of trust in human relations. For trust to develop between patients and doctors, sincerity must be cultivated. Without sincerity mediating human relations, trust between doctors and patients is impossible.The Confucian doctrine of sincerity is based on one’s inherent moral personality, and is part of the virtuous treatment of others. In Confucianism, love is a relational virtue, meaning one should practice filial piety, be kind to one’s children, sympathetic to strangers, and so forth; however, one must also be reliable and trustworthy in whatever type of relationship in which one is engaged. To gain the trust of their patients, doctors must demonstrate Confucian virtues in their activities. In addition, with regard to benefits, doctors must not forget virtue or righteousness. They should not make a profit that is not within the scope of Confucian virtue. This point is particularly applicable to today’s crisis of trust, because many consider that doctors have violated Confucian principles by making a profit.The essay concludes that a strong doctor-patient trust relationship cannot be built in contemporary transitional China without the cultivation of the Confucian notion of sincerity. Without doubt, the doctor-patient relationship is complicated by the high-tech medical environment, inevitable vulnerability of patients, and rapid development of the healthcare market. All of these factors make it even more important that doctors form a life attitude that incorporates sincerity and trustworthiness, which are manifested in the virtuous practice of their profession. The Confucian notions of sincerity and trustworthiness will equip doctors to properly understand and achieve professional goals and interests in the care of their patients. Finally, to help in the maintenance of a strong trust relation between doctors and patients, proper public policy, social mechanisms, and effective supervision and regulation based on sincerity and trustworthiness are indispensable.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 340 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

Attractiveness of the city, psychological and social capital: Never-ending migration from rural settlements to urban centers in Turkey
Authors: KELEŞ Şerafettin
Published: March 2021

There is a continuous act of inward migration from rural settlements to urban centers. The attractiveness of the city and the repulsion of the countryside are cited as the reasons for internal migration. This study empirically investigates the attractiveness of the city, which encourages rural migration, and the effect of psychological and social capital on the attractiveness of the city. The cross-sectional data of the study was formed by the face-to-face survey of 280 individuals who live in the rural area of Erzincan and want to migrate to city centers. In the analyzes made with the Structural Equation Modeling, it has been determined that there is a linear relationship between the attractiveness of the city, which encourages rural migration, and positive psychological capital, bonding social capital and bridging social capital.
A LEAN MANAGEMENT APPROACH FOR THE ROMANIAN TEXTILE AND CLOTHING INDUSTRY
Authors:   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania, DIMA Adriana , DINULESCU Ruxandra ,   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania
Published: March 2021

Lean management represents a systematic approach used for identifying and eliminating waste and non-value added activities from different industries, including the textile industry. Even if the lean manufacturing concept has shown important results in continuous process industry, the textile industry represents a good area for implementing this methodology targeting as a main objective the action of eliminating waste, thus reducing costs and therefore, increasing productivity. Being a customer oriented process, the system has the ability to eliminate a significant part of waste from the Romanian textile industry. As a result, this is an incipient study aimed to present the benefits of implementing Lean Management in the Romanian textile industry, through its improvement tools, as well as presenting a theoretical economic impact for a textile company. Also, taking into consideration that Lean Management is not yet applied in the Romanian textile field, the study will present a part of the areas which would need the Lean implementation, as well as further actions to be taken in order to improve productivity in textile industry.
IMPACT OF PIRACY AND SEA ROBBERIES ON FISHING BUSINESS IN NIGERIA: A FOCUS ON LAGOS COASTAL AREA

Nigeria as a littoral state with a coastline of slightly above 800 kilometers and located in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG) region puts the government in a position that requires her to deploy resources to combat the menace of piracy and sea robbery. Pirate activities affected not only the maritime transport sector, but the other forms of maritime economic activities. The fishing industry also got her fair share of this menace despite the contribution of the industry to the society. The activities of pirates and sea robbers and their impacts on fishing industry in Lagos coastal area was investigated using structured questionnaire deployed to relevant stakeholders in the fishing business in Lagos area. This research interrogates possible factors that create the enabling environment for piracy to flourish. The study revealed that the inability of government to effectively curb activities of these criminals was to some extent influenced by corruption, poverty and inequality in the society. Financial loss to the nation due to the menace was found to be alarming and has forced several fishing companies out of business to the extent that only few fishing vessels (trawlers) are currently in operation in the area of study. The research confirmed negative effects of piracy on sea businesses, particularly fishing activities, which was the crux of this investigation.

The information technology (IT) sector represents a phenomenon of modern society, which has led to a favorable change in the economic course, in most countries of the world. This study aims to establish the attractiveness of the IT industry in Romania, as well as the factors that led to the development of the competitive environment, through a strategic diagnosis using a tool for strategic analysis and diagnosis - the model of the five forces, developed by Michael Porter. The results of the study indicate that all five strengths of Michael Porter's model exert significant influence, but in different proportions, on the competitive environment and the degree of attractiveness of the IT industry. Although Porter's model offers a clear strategic frame of the IT industry, it is quite static, and the manifestation of the five forces does not maintain its validity over time.

This paper aims to challenge the conventional wisdom in finance by studying the success factors of the development of unicorn companies as the most successful and fastest-growing start-ups/ established firms. Romania is now on the map of the International Unicorn Club, with two young Unicorns in technology, since 2018. The purpose of the paper is to analyze mergers and acquisitions and companies valued more than $1B. The research questions to be answered are: What is the value of control in mergers and acquisitions? Why the initial estimates of a company’s value can be very wrong? The market approach in this research allows the readers understand the context of the phenomena analyzed and the information on comparable transactions. The work to be discussed in the paper is the importance of choosing one valuable objective of the company, in the context of the theory of the value maximization as the single important objective of a company. The model of enterprise value for listed companies should encompass a market variable, such as the value of financing a sector gets and the ownership (control) variable

The communication exists whenever a social entity can affect another and alter its reactions by transmitting information not by direct action. The word communication has a very broad meaning; it encompasses all the processes whereby a spirit can affect another spirit. Obviously, it includes not only written or spoken language, but also music, visual arts, theatre, ballet and, in fact, all human behaviors. Communication is the result of a relationship, regardless of the period related to the relationship. This form of relationship is built from the first contact, from a first impression, thus evolving through words chosen on the basis of reason or emotion, which can be decisive in this regard.

Published: March 2021

This study investigates growth effects of foreign direct investment and financial deepening in Nigeria for the period 1981-2018. Data employed for this study were obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and World Development Indicators. Pairwise granger causality test and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model were employed in the data analysis. Empirical results show that foreign direct investment (FDI) has positive significant effect on economic growth (GDP) in Nigeria both in the long and short runs. Financial deepening measured as broad money supply as a ratio of GDP (broad money velocity) has positive significant effect on GDP in Nigeria in the long run but the position is reversed to negative non-significant in the short run. In the long run, financial deepening indicator-credit to private sector as a ratio of GDP-, has negative non-significant effect on GDP in Nigeria while its influence is absent in the short run model. Findings also reveal a unidirectional causality from FDI to GDP. Likewise, unidirectional causality flows from GDP to each of the two financial deepening indicators, thus lending credence to the demand-following hypothesis. This study concludes that foreign direct investment and financial deepening have positive growth effects in Nigeria with causality flowing from foreign direct investment to economic growth and the latter granger-causing financial deepening in Nigeria. To boost economic growth, there is a need for Nigeria’s government to further develop the financial system and implement policies to stimulate FDI inflows to the country.

Every municipal corporation must provide civic services to its population. Since liberalization period, the population and urbanization has increased very fast in Thane city. The density of population is continuously increasing due to growth of industries, services sector and clean environment in city. The commercial and residential complexes, Theaters, private parks, super specialty hospitals, Mall, educational institutions have grown significantly over the period. However, the quality of infrastructure services such as water supply, sewage collection and disposal, health services, water drainage, transportation, park and recreation are still inadequate to rising population in Thane Municipal Corporation area. Therefore, Municipal Corporation should increase its revenue sources through bond financing. Urban planning must be done in a systematic way and on urgent basis for entire corporation area. Municipal Corporation must provide quality services to its population. Municipal Corporation must invest financial resources for welfare of poor people and future planned economic growth of Thane city.

Published: March 2021

Purpose: To investigate a novel composite methodology of using targeted serum microRNAs (micro ribonucleic acid; miRNA) and urine metabolites for the accurate detection of early stage non-small cell lung cancer

(NSCLC).

Methods: Consecutively consenting NSCLC patients and matched control subjects were recruited to provide samples of serum for miRNA and/or urine for metabolite analyses. Serum miRNA levels were measured using quantitative real-time reverse-transcription with exogenous control, and the comparative delta cycle threshold (△CT) method was used to calculate relative miRNA expression of two targeted miRNAs (miR-21 and miR-223). The concentrations of six targeted urinary metabolites in patients and healthy controls were measured using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. A composite methodology of using the 35 accruals with both serum and urine biomarkers was then established with binary logistic regression, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) models with or without artificial intelligence (AI).

Results: The ROC analysis of miRNA expression yielded a sensitivity of 96.4% and a specificity of 88.2% for the detection of early stage NSCLC, with area under the curve (AUC) = 0.91 (CI 95%: 0.80-1.0). Relative urinary concentrations of 4-methoxyphenylacetic acid (4MPLA) were significantly different between NSCLC and healthy control (p=0.008). The ROC analysis of 4MPLA yielded a sensitivity of 82.1% and a specificity of 88.2%, with AUC = 0.85. The composite process combining miRNA and metabolite expression demonstrated a sensitivity and specificity of nearly 100% and AUC=1.

Conclusions: A highly specific, sensitive and non-invasive detection method for NSCLC was developed. Pending validation, this can potentially improve the early detection and, hence, the treatment and survival outcomes of patients.
