Abstract: Parasitoids are important insects that are commonly released into the environment to reduce the population sizes of pest species. The lifetime reproductive success of parasitoids mainly depends on host availability and the availability of mature eggs. Consequently, it is predicted that female wasps must balance the risk of egg or host (time) limitation with maximized lifetime fecundity. Typically, synovigenic females, which continue to mature eggs throughout their lifetime, have been shown to adjust their egg production rate in response to environmental variations in host availability to reduce the risk of egg limitation. In this study, we found that in a synovigenic egg parasitoid, Anastatus japonicus (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), the oviposition experience of Ana. japonicus females significantly enhanced the egg load and increased the rate of mature egg production. However, in contrast to other studies, the experience of contact with a host did not significantly affect the egg load in females. This result suggests that the overall oviposition experience might induce an adjustment and accelerate egg maturation in Ana. japonicus and is likely more important in egg maturation than transitory host contract. In addition to affecting the egg load, oviposition experience influenced Ana. japonicus female reproductive behaviour, which shifted virgin female behavioural preferences from mating to oviposition and laying more eggs per clutch. Our study provides an optimal strategy for the post-oviposition release of Ana. japonicus , an egg parasitoid of several lepidopteran forest pests, to improve biocontrol effectiveness.

Abstract: Cancer is one of the common diseases. Quantitative biomarkers extracted from standard-of-care computed tomography (CT) scan can create a robust clinical decision tool for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). According to the current clinical methods, the situation usually accounts for high expenditure of time and resources. To improve the current clinical diagnosis and therapeutic procedure, this paper proposes a deep learning-based approach, called Successive Encoder-Decoder (SED), to assist in the automatic interpretation of liver lesion/tumor segmentation through CT images. The SED framework consists of two different encoder-decoder networks connected in series. The first network aims to remove unwanted voxels and organs and to extract liver locations from CT images. The second network uses the results of the first network to further segment the lesions. For practical purpose, the predicted lesions on individual CTs were extracted and reconstructed on 3D images. The experiments conducted on 4300 CT images and LiTS dataset demonstrate that the liver segmentation and the tumor prediction achieved 0.92 and 0.75 in Dice score, respectively, by as-proposed SED method.

Abstract: The research was based on the image recognition technology of artificial intelligence, which is expected to assist physicians in making correct decisions through deep learning. The liver dataset used in this study was derived from the open source website (LiTS) and the data provided by the Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. CT images were used for organ recognition and lesion segmentation; the proposed Residual-Dense-Attention (RDA) U-Net can achieve high accuracy without the use of contrast. In this study, U-Net neural network was used to combine ResBlock in ResNet with Dense Block in DenseNet in the coder part, allowing the training to maintain the parameters while reducing the overall recognition computation time. The decoder was equipped with Attention Gates to suppress the irrelevant areas of the image while focusing on the significant features. The RDA model was used to identify and segment liver organs and lesions from CT images of the abdominal cavity, and excellent segmentation was achieved for the liver located on the left side, right side, near the heart, and near the lower abdomen with other organs. Better recognition was also achieved for large, small, and single and multiple lesions. The study was able to reduce the overall computation time by about 28% compared to other convolutions, and the accuracy of liver and lesion segmentation reached 96% and 94.8%, with IoU values of 89.5% and 87%, and AVGDIST of 0.28 and 0.80, respectively.

Abstract: Due to the fact that previous studies have rarely investigated the recognition rate discrepancy and pathology data error when applied to different databases, the purpose of this study is to investigate the improvement of recognition rate via deep learning-based liver lesion segmentation with the incorporation of hospital data. The recognition model used in this study is H-DenseUNet, which is applied to the segmentation of the liver and lesions, and a mixture of 2D/3D Hybrid-DenseUNet is used to reduce the recognition time and system memory requirements. Differences in recognition results were determined by comparing the training files of the standard LiTS competition data set with the training set after mixing in an additional 30 patients. The average error value of 9.6% was obtained by comparing the data discrepancy between the actual pathology data and the pathology data after the analysis of the identified images imported from Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. The average error rate of the recognition output after mixing the LiTS database with hospital data for training was 1%. In the recognition part, the Dice coefficient was 0.52 after training 50 epochs using the standard LiTS database, while the Dice coefficient was increased to 0.61 after adding 30 hospital data to the training. After importing 3D Slice and ITK-Snap software, a 3D image of the lesion and liver segmentation can be developed. It is hoped that this method could be used to stimulate more research in addition to the general public standard database in the future, as well as to study the applicability of hospital data and improve the generality of the database.

Abstract: The prognostic relevance of extranodal extension (ENE) for salivary gland carcinoma (SGC) remains unclear. The present study is undertaken to investigate the predictive significance of pathological nodal parameters in surgically treated patients with nodal metastatic SGC. Methods This multicenter cohort included 114 patients with pathologically proven node‐positive SGC between 2000 and 2014. Possible correlations of clinicopathological parameters and outcomes were examined. Results The median follow‐up was 69 months (range, 11‐173 months). The multivariate analysis identified metastatic node number (1‐2 vs 3‐6; 1‐2 vs ≥7) as an independent predictor for regional control ( P = 0.005; P = 0.02), locoregional control ( P = 0.008; P = 0.04), distant metastasis‐free survival ( P = 0.17; P = 0.006), disease‐free survival ( P = 0.05; P = 0.002), and overall survival ( P = 0.18; P = 0.009), whereas ENE was not associated with survival outcomes. Conclusions Metastatic node number, not ENE, is an independent node‐related prognosticator for SGC. Integration of ENE into the American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition staging criteria may not improve prognostic performance.

Abstract: We previously revealed the origin of mammalian simple-type glycogen synthase kinase interaction protein (GSKIP), which served as a scavenger and a competitor in the Wnt signaling pathway during evolution. In this study, we investigated the conserved and nonconserved regions of the composite-type GSKIP by utilizing bioinformatics tools, site-directed mutagenesis, and yeast two-hybrid methods. The regions were denoted as the pre-GSK3β binding site, which is located at the front of GSK3β-binding sites. Our data demonstrated that clustered mitochondria protein 1 (CLU1), a type of composite-type GSKIP that exists in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic organisms, possesses the protein known as domain of unknown function 727 (DUF727), with a pre-GSK3β-binding site and a mutant GSK3β-binding flanking region. Another type of composite-type GSKIP, armadillo repeat containing 4 (ARMC4), which is known for cilium movement in vertebrates, contains an unintegrated DUF727 flanking region with a pre-GSK3β-binding site (115SPxF118) only. In addition, the sequence of the GSK3β-binding site in CLU1 revealed that Q126L and V130L were not conserved, differing from the ideal GSK3β-binding sequence of simple-type GSKIP. We further illustrated two exceptions, namely 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70/DnaK) and Mitofilin in nematodes, that presented an unexpected ideal GSK3β-binding region with a pre-GSK3β sequence; this composite-type GSKIP could only occur in vertebrate species. Furthermore, we revealed the importance of the pre-GSK3β-binding site (118F or 118Y) and various mutant GSK3β-binding sites of composite-type GSKIP. Collectively, our data suggest that the new composite-type GSKIP starts with a DUF727 domain followed by a pre-GSK3β-binding site, with the subsequent addition of the GSK3β-binding site, which plays vital roles for CLU1, Mitofilin, and ARMC4 in mitochondria and Wnt signaling pathways during evolution.

Abstract: The RE gistry of S elective I nternal radiation therapy in Asia N s (RESIN) was a multicenter, single‐arm, prospective, observational study of 90 Y resin microspheres in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) from Taiwan. RESIN is the first real‐life clinical study of this therapy in an Asian cohort. Study objectives were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 90 Y resin microspheres. Methods Adults with HCC or mCRC scheduled to receive SIRT with 90 Y resin microspheres were included. Primary endpoints were best overall response rate (ORR), adverse events, and changes from baseline in liver function. Secondary efficacy endpoints included overall survival (OS). Results Of 107 enrolled patients, 83 had HCC, and 24 had mCRC. ORR was 55.41% (HCC) and 33.33% (mCRC). Of 58 HCC patients with 6‐month post‐SIRT data, 13.79% ( n = 8) had resection, transplantation, transarterial chemoembolization, or radiofrequency ablation as the result of down‐staging or down‐sizing of their lesions. One hundred and ten treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 51 patients, and five serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in five patients. The most frequent TEAEs were abdominal pain, nausea and decreased appetite (HCC), and abdominal pain, decreased appetite, fatigue, and vomiting (mCRC). Two deaths due to SAEs (probably related to SIRT) were reported, both in patients with extensive HCC, active hepatitis infection, and other comorbidities. Median OS was 24.07 (HCC) and 12.66 (mCRC) months. Conclusions Safety and efficacy outcomes with the routine use of SIRT with 90 Y resin microspheres in Taiwan are consistent with published data.
