Waveguide-coupled Ge-on-Si separate absorption, charge, and multiplication(SACM)APDs are popular due to their straightforward fabrication process, low optical propagation loss, and high detection sensitivity in optical communications. This paper introduces a lateral SACM Ge-on-Si APD on a silicon-on-insulator(SOI) wafer, featuring a 10 μm-long, 0.5 μm-wide Ge layer at 1310 nm on a standard 8-inch silicon photonics platform. The dark current measures approximately 38.6 μA at-21 V, indicating a breakdown voltage greater than-21 V for the device. The APDs exhibit a unitgain responsivity of 0.5 A/W at-10 V. At-15 V, their responsivity reaches 2.98 and 2.91 A/W with input powers of-10 and-25 dBm, respectively. The device's 3-dB bandwidth is 15 GHz with an input power of-15 dBm and a gain is 11.68. Experimental results show a peak in impedance at high bias voltages, attributed to inductor and capacitor(LC) circuit resonance, enhancing frequency response. Furthermore, 20 Gbps eye diagrams at-21 V and-9 dBm input power reveal signal to noise ratio(SNRs) of 5.30. This lateral SACM APD, compatible with the stand complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS) process,shows that utilizing the peaking effect at low optical power increases bandwidth.展开更多

Methods: Sixty-eight patients with moderate or severe cancer pain were treated with OxyContin hydrochloride controlled release tablets. The initial dose was 5 mg/12h, or 1/2 that of the standard morphine regimen. During the course of treatment, the dosage was adjusted according to the patients' condition until the pain completely disappeared or nearly did so. Each patient received a treatment for at least 15 days. At the same time, adverse reactions, the quality of life and scores for the intensity of pain were observed and recorded [1]. Results: The final titrated dosage of OxyContin was as follows: the patients in 30 cases (44.1%) received a dosage of ≤ 30 mg/d, those in 16 cases (23.5%) received a dosage of 31 to 60 mg/d, those in 18 cases (26.5%) received a dosage of 61 to 120 mg/d and those in 4 cases (5.9%) received a dosage of ≥ 120 mg/d. The overall rate of relief from pain was 95.6%, among which the rates of excellent, effective and moderate relief were respectively 39.7%, 48.5% and 7.4%. OxyContin had mild adverse reactions and patients' quality of life was markedly improved. Conclusion: OxyContin is effective in treatment of moderate and severe cancer pain. The adverse reactions of OxyContin are mild, and the drug can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with cancer pain.展开更多

Methods： Stage III NSCLC patients with favorable conditions were treated with 2 to 4 cycles of carboplatin （AUC = 5-6, dl） combined with paclitaxel （175 mg/m〈 dl）, then followed by weekly paclitaxel （40 mg/m2） and concurrent 3D CRT within 3-4 weeks. The prescription dose was given as high as possible under the condition that V20 〈 31% and spinal cord dose 〈 50 Gy. Results： Thirty-one patients were enrolled. ICT was well tolerated. During the concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the treatment of 3 patients was ended ahead of the schedule because of severe pulmonary and heart toxicities; the treatment of 2 patients was delayed for 7 and 12 days because of fatigue. Myelosuppression was mild （16/31）： all were grade 1-2 except 1 was grade 3. Lymphocytopenia was more obvious （29/31, grade 3 in 21）. Three patients developed grade 3 radiation-induced esophagitis, and 2 developed grades 3-4 radiation-induced pneumonitis. Two developed grade 3 esophageal stricture. No grades 3-4 pulmonary fibrosis was observed. The overall response rate was 74.1%. The 1-, 2-, 3-year overall survival rates were 74.2%, 41.9%, and 34.6%, respectively, with the median survival time of 18.5 months. The 1-, 2-, 3-year local progression-freely survival rates were 64.5%, 32.3%, and 20.5%, respectively, with the median local progression-freely survival time of 14.3 months. Conclusion： The program of ICT followed by weekly paclitaxel and 3D CRT is accomplished in most of the favorable stage III NSCLC patients. The toxicity is tolerable, and the response rate is inspiriting.展开更多

Methods： Fifty-six patients with superior sulcus lung tumor were divided randomly into two groups： twenty-six patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the other thirty patients received only radiotherapy. For both groups, the same radiation technic was given with the convention fraction. The total dose was 45 Gy/25 Fr/5 Wk. For the CT/RT group, the patients were also given with concurrent chemotherapy （navelbine 15-18 mg/m^2 on the 1st and 8th day, cisplatin 60 mg/m^2 on the 1st day）. Results： The rate of complete resection in the CT/RT group was significantly higher than that in the RT group （92.3% vs 80%, P 〈 0.05）. The complete pathological response rate and 2-year survival rate in the CT/RT group were significantly higher than those in the RT group （P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.01）. The incidences of grades Ill-IV radiation esophagitis and leukopenia in the CT/RT group were significantly higher than those in the RT group （23.1% and 23.1% vs 6.7% and 0, P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.01）. Conclusion： Preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy has the potential of improving the survival rate of superior sulcus lung tumors. Though this treatment regimen also increases the acute toxic effect, all patients can tolerate it. It is expected to be a new ＂standard treatment＂ for this malignant tumor.展开更多

After treatment the carcino embryonie antigen(CEA) and caner antigent 199(CA199) levels decreased obviously, furthermore, the test group decreased more obviously than the control group. Conclusion Rh-endostatin combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer is safer and effective, and also improves PFS.

文摘Microwave photonic sensors are promising for improving sensing resolution and speed of optical sensors.In this paper,a high-sensitivity,high-resolution temperature sensor based on microwave photonic flter(MPF)is proposed and demonstrated.A micro-ring resonator(MRR)based on silicon-on-insulator is used as the sensing probe to convert the wavelength shift caused by temperature change to microwave frequency variation via the MPF system.By analyzing the frequency shift with high-speed and high-resolution monitors,the temperature change can be detected.The MRR is designed with multi-mode ridge waveguides to reduce propagation loss and achieves an ultra-high Q factor of 1.01×10^(6).The proposed MPF has a single passband with a narrow bandwidth of 192 MHz.With clear peak-frequency shift,the sensitivity of the MPF-based temperature sensor is measured to be 10.22 GHz/℃.Due to higher sensitivity and ultra-narrow bandwidth of the MPF,the sensing resolution of the proposed temperature sensor is as high as 0.019℃.

文摘The COVID-19 epidemic widely spread across China from Wuhan,Hubei Province,because of huge migration before 2020 Chinese New Year.Previous studies demonstrated that population outflows from Wuhan determined COVID-19 cases in other cities but neglected spatial hetero-geneities of their relationships.Here,we use Geographically Weighted Regression(GWR)model to investigate the spatially varying influences of outflows from Wuhan.Overall,the GWR model increases explanatory ability of outflows from Wuhan by 20%,with the adjusted R2 increasing from~0.6 of Ordinary Least Squares(OLS)models to~0.8 of GWR models.The coefficient between logarithmic of outflows from Wuhan and COVID-19 cases in other cities is generally less than 1.The sub-linear scaling relationship indicates the increasing returns of outflows was restrained,proving the epidemic was efficiently controlled outside Hubei at the beginning without obvious local transmissions.Coefficients in GWR models vary in cities.Not only cities around Wuhan but also cities having close connections with Wuhan experienced higher coefficients,showing a higher vulnerability of these cities.The secondary or multi-level trans-mission networks deserve to be further explored to fully uncover influences of migrations on the COVID-19 pandemic.

文摘To regulate cell behaviors and promote nerve function recovery,three-dimensional(3D)conductive hydrogel can transmit intercellular electrical signals,and effectively provide the cell survival environment.However,produc-ing hydrogels with simultaneous high conductivity,favorable biocompatibility,and tissue-matching properties remains a challenge for spinal cord injury(SCI)treatment.Here,a conductive,multifunctional,and biocompati-ble VPImBF4 ionic liquid(IL)with photosensitive chitosan-based hydrogel(pCM@IL)is developed.The pCM@IL hydrogel exhibits a 3D microporous structure that could maintain cell viability and improve cell growth.Elas-tic modulus,conductivity,and biodegradability of the pCM@IL hydrogels are investigated with tissue-matching mechanical properties.The pCM@IL conductive hydrogels synergistically enhance neuronal cell proliferation and promote neuronal cells differentiation via upregulates synapse gene(Tubulin𝛽3,GAP43,Synaptophysin)expression.Furthermore,in vivo studies of the pCM@IL conductive hydrogels as implants demonstrate low-inflammation and neovascularize promotion and appropriate biodegradable properties.The developed pCM@IL conductive hydrogel is a promising therapeutic scaffold biomaterial for SCI repair.
