question:
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a benign disorder with a variable clinical course that often leads to hospitalization. The aim of this study was to assess and validate the relationship between the serum cystatin C level and symptom duration in infants with TTN.', 'Forty newborns presenting with TTN and who had undergone serum cystatin C (Cys C) tests on the first day of admission to the Kyung Hee University Hospital (Seoul, Korea) from 2009 to 2013 were included. The serum Cys C level, creatinine (Cr) level, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and tachypnea duration were correlated retrospectively.', 'The median gestation period was 37.83.8 weeks and the mean birth weight was 3.20.4kg. Tachypnea duration was 3.32.0 days. Serum Cys C and Cr levels were 1.70.2mg/L and 0.81.2mg/dL, respectively. Tachypnea duration was significantly positively correlated with the serum levels of Cys C and significantly negatively correlated with Cys C-based eGFR (p=0.016), but was not significantly correlated with the serum Cr level or Cr-based eGFR. When tachypnea duration was compared between infants with Cys C level <1.6mg/L (n=15; Group A) and infants with Cys C level1.6mg/L (n=25; Group B), the symptom duration was significantly shorter in Group A infants (p=0.011).

question:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common solid tumors and ranks the third leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. The purpose of this study was to examine the expression dynamics of GOLPH3 in HCC tissue samples, and explore the correlation between GOLPH3 expression and prognosis in patients with HCC.', 'The levels of Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) mRNA and protein in liver cancer cell lines and fresh tissues were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Additionally, the protein expression of GOLPH3 was detected by immunohistochemistry.', 'High GOLPH3 expression was positively correlated with serum AFP level (P=0.015) and tumor recurrence or metastasis (P=0.010). In addition, liver cancer patients with high GOLPH3 expression had significantly poorer overall survival (HR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.19-2.94; P=0.006) and poorer disease-free survival (HR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.21-2.98; P=0.005) than those with low GOLPH3 expression. The cumulative 5-year survival rate was only 35.19% (95% CI, 26.18%-44.20%) in the high GOLPH3 expression group, whereas it was 55.93% (95% CI, 43.26%-68.60%) in the low GOLPH3 expression group. Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the expression of GOLPH3, tumor size and tumor multiplicity were independent prognostic predictors for HCC patients.

question:
Repeat positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and chest computed tomography (CT) are used to assess the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, the change in the standardized uptake values (SUV) has not been correlated with the pathologic change of the primary tumor.', 'This is a retrospective cohort study of a prospective database of 56 patients who had NSCLC, FDG-PET, and chest CT scans both before and after neoadjuvant therapy, followed by complete resection of their cancer. Maximum SUVs (maxSUV) and tumor size were measured, and the percentage of change was compared with the percentage of nonviable tumor cells. The primary objective was to measure the degree of correlation between these values.', "The change in the maxSUV has a near linear relationship to the percent of nonviable tumor cells in the resected tumors. FDG-PET's maxSUV is better correlated to pathology than the change in size on CT scan (r2 = 0.75, r2 = 0.03, p < 0.001). When the maxSUV decreased by 80% or more, a complete pathologic response could be predicted with a sensitivity of 90%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 96%.
