ABSTRACT

Objective: We examined the clinical features and prognosis of advanced intra- and extra-pulmonary neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) to offer additional guidance for the clinical treatment of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), which is a type of advanced intrapulmonary NEC (IPNECs). Materials and Methods: The clinical data and survival of 123 patients with advanced IPNECs and extrapulmonary NECs (EPNECs) were obtained. We retrospectively examined the corresponding clinical diagnosis and treatment and investigated the significant factors influencing the survival prognosis of patients with NECs. Results: There were 90 cases of IPNECs (including 81 cases of SCLC), and 33 cases of EPNECs. The median overall survival (OS) of IPNECs was significantly longer than that of the EPNECs in the gastrointestinal tract and in the other regions (P < 0.05). The median OS of patients with other IPNECs was longer than that of patients with SCLC (P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age, liver metastasis, number of cycles of first-line chemotherapy, and chest radiotherapy were risk factors influencing OS in patients with NECs (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The survival of IPNECs was significantly longer than that of EPNECs in the gastrointestinal tract and other regions. Nevertheless, patients with advanced NECs who were older and had liver metastases had a poorer prognosis. Multidisciplinary treatments including multicycle chemotherapy and a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy should function significantly in extending the survival of NECs.

ABSTRACT

Foodborne illnesses have always been a serious problem that threats public health, so it is necessary to develop a method that can detect the pathogens rapidly and sensitively. In this study, we designed a magnetic controlled microfluidic device which integrated the dynamic magnetophoretic separation and stationary magnetic trap together for sensitive and selective detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium). Coupled with immunomagnetic nanospheres (IMNs), this device could separate and enrich the target pathogens and realize the sensitive detection of target pathogens on chip. Based on the principle of sandwich immunoassays, the trapped target pathogens identified by streptavidin modified QDs (SA-QDs) were detected under an inverted fluorescence microscopy. A linear range was exhibited at the concentration from 1.0×10(4) to 1.0×10(6) colony-forming units/mL (CFU/mL), the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 5.4×10(3) CFU/mL in milk (considering the sample volume, the absolute detection limit corresponded to 540C FU). Compared with the device with stationary magnetic trap alone, the integrated device enhanced anti-interference ability and increased detection sensitivity through dynamic magnetophoretic separation, and made the detection in complex samples more accurate. In addition, it had excellent specificity and good reproducibility. The developed system provides a rapid, sensitive and accurate approach to detect pathogens in practice samples.
