RESUMEN
Objective:Previous studies have shown an association between programmed death-ligand 1 expression(PD-L1)in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)and clinical factors and that PD-L1 is positively correlated with TNM staging.This study aimed to explore the prognostic significance of PD-L1 and its correlation with the maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax).Methods:Clinicopath-ological data and the follow-up information of the 122 de novo primary NSCLC patients were analyzed.PD-L1 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in this 122 surgically resected non-small cell lung carcinoma tissues.Survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model.Correlation between SUVmax and PD-L1 expression was analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation analysis.Results:Multivariate analysis revealed that PD-L1 expression(HR=4.518,95% CI:1.176-17.352,P=0.028)and tumor size(HR=1.404,95%CI:1.020-1.933,P=0.037)were independent risk factors for overall survival(OS) in early NSCLC patients.Sex,age,pathological type,CEA level,and SUVmax group had no obvious effect on OS(P 0.05)in early NSCLC patients.In univariate analyses,sex,pathological type,tumor size,and SUVmax group affected OS in stageⅢ-ⅣNSCLC patients.How-ever,age,CEA level,and PD-L1 expression had no effect on OS.PD-L1 expression was not an independent risk factor for OS in stageⅢ-ⅣNSCLC patients.The SUVmax group had no association with PD-L1 in all patients.Conclusions:PD-L1 expression is an independent risk factor for OS in early NSCLC patients but not in stageⅢ-Ⅳpatients.
RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the relationship between regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cognitive function in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Method: Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed for 139 OCD patients and 139 controls, and the radioactivity rate (RAR) was calculated. Cognitive function was assessed by the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Results: The RARs of the prefrontal, anterior temporal, and right occipital lobes were higher in patients than controls. For the WCST, correct and classification numbers were significantly lower, and errors and persistent errors were significantly higher in OCD patients. Right prefrontal lobe RAR was negatively correlated with correct numbers, right anterior temporal lobe RAR was positively correlated with errors, and the RARs of the right prefrontal lobe and left thalamus were positively correlated with persistent errors. Conclusion: OCD patients showed higher CBF in the prefrontal and anterior temporal lobes, suggesting that these areas may be related with cognitive impairment. .
Objetivo: Estudar a relação entre a perfusão sanguínea regional cerebral e as funções cognitivas em pacientes com transtorno obsessivo compulsivo (TOC). Método: Foram estudados 139 pacientes com TOC e 139 controles. As imagens do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral foram feitas por single photon emission computed tomography e o radioactivity rate (RAR) foi calculado usando como referência a radioatividade do córtex cerebelar. As funções cognitivas foram avaliadas através do Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Resultados: O RAR do lobo pré-frontal, do lobo temporal anterior e do lobo occipital direito foram mais elevados nos pacientes do que nos controles (P<0.05). Quanto ao WCST, os escores de números corretos (P<0.01) e de classificação (P<0.05) foram menores no grupo TOC do que nos controles; entretanto, os escores de erros e de erros persistentes nos controles foram mais elevados do que nos pacientes (P<0.01). O RAR do lobo pré-frontal direito estava relacionado de modo negativo com os números corretos; o RAR do lobo temporal anterior apresentava correlação positiva com os erros; o RAR do lobo pré-frontal direito e do tálamo esquerdo apresentavam correlação positiva com erros persistentes. Conclusão: Pacientes com TOC apresentaram perfusão sanguínea cerebral mais intensa no lobo pré-frontal e no lobo temporal anterior. O lobo pré-frontal direito, o lobo temporal e o tálamo esquerdo podem estar relacionados com alterações cognitivas. .
