During the phase I study of SHR-1210, we encountered a novel but prevalent immune-related dermatologic toxicity: reactive capillary hemangiomas(RCHs). Thus we tried to summarize the features of RCHs and estimate their relationship with tumor response.Methods: This prospective observational study systematically enrolled 98 patients with advanced solid tumors from April 27th,2016 to June 8th, 2017 in the context of the phase I clinical study of SHR-1210. This report focused on the skin toxicities. Patients underwent entire skin inspection every two weeks while taking medication. The clinical course of RCHs was recorded and their association with tumor response was estimated. The data cut-off date was November 15th, 2017.Results: After a median follow-up of 242(range, 29–567) days, RCHs were observed in 85.7%(84/98) of patients on cutaneous/mucosal surfaces; 84.5%(71/84) of the RCHs were evaluated as grade 1 adverse events. No grade 3 or 4 RCHs were observed. The time of onset of RCHs was dose dependent and shortest in the 400 mg-dose cohort(P < 0.001). Spontaneous and complete regression of RCHs was observed both during and after treatment. The objective response rate of tumors for patients with RCHs was 28.9%(24/83). However, no responders were observed among the patients without RCHs.Conclusions: RCHs were prevalent but manageable during treatment with SHR-1210. It might add to the expanding literature regarding immune-related dermatologic adverse events.展开更多

During the phase I study of SHR-1210, we encountered a novel but prevalent immune-related dermatologic toxicity: reactive capillary hemangiomas(RCHs). Thus we tried to summarize the features of RCHs and estimate their relationship with tumor response.Methods: This prospective observational study systematically enrolled 98 patients with advanced solid tumors from April 27th,2016 to June 8th, 2017 in the context of the phase I clinical study of SHR-1210. This report focused on the skin toxicities. Patients underwent entire skin inspection every two weeks while taking medication. The clinical course of RCHs was recorded and their association with tumor response was estimated. The data cut-off date was November 15th, 2017.Results: After a median follow-up of 242(range, 29–567) days, RCHs were observed in 85.7%(84/98) of patients on cutaneous/mucosal surfaces; 84.5%(71/84) of the RCHs were evaluated as grade 1 adverse events. No grade 3 or 4 RCHs were observed. The time of onset of RCHs was dose dependent and shortest in the 400 mg-dose cohort(P < 0.001). Spontaneous and complete regression of RCHs was observed both during and after treatment. The objective response rate of tumors for patients with RCHs was 28.9%(24/83). However, no responders were observed among the patients without RCHs.Conclusions: RCHs were prevalent but manageable during treatment with SHR-1210. It might add to the expanding literature regarding immune-related dermatologic adverse events.

文摘Cloud detection is an essential preprocessing step for retrieving carbon dioxide from satellite observations of reflected sunlight.During the pre-launch study of the Chinese Carbon Dioxide Observation Satellite(TANSAT),a cloud-screening scheme was presented for the Cloud and Aerosol Polarization Imager(CAPI),which only performs measurements in five channels located in the visible to near-infrared regions of the spectrum.The scheme for CAPI,based on previous cloudscreening algorithms,defines a method to regroup individual threshold tests for each pixel in a scene according to the derived clear confidence level.This scheme is proven to be more effective for sensors with few channels.The work relies upon the radiance data from the Visible and Infrared Radiometer(VIRR)onboard the Chinese Feng Yun-3A Polar-orbiting Meteorological Satellite(FY-3A),which uses four wavebands similar to that of CAPI and can serve as a proxy for its measurements.The scheme has been applied to a number of the VIRR scenes over four target areas(desert,snow,ocean,forest)for all seasons.To assess the screening results,comparisons against the cloud-screening product from MODIS are made.The evaluation suggests that the proposed scheme inherits the advantages of schemes described in previous publications and shows improved cloud-screening results.A seasonal analysis reveals that this scheme provides better performance during warmer seasons,except for observations over oceans,where results are much better in colder seasons.

文摘BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)is frequently diagnosed and treated in advanced tumor stages with poor prognosis.More effective screening programs and novel therapeutic means are urgently needed.Recent studies have regarded tight junction protein claudin 18.2(CLDN18.2)as a candidate target for cancer treatment,and zolbetuximab(formerly known as IMAB362)has been developed against CLDN18.2.However,there are few data reported thus far related to the clinicopathological characteristics of CLDN18.2 expression for PDAC.AIM To investigate the expression of CLDN18.2 in PDAC patients and subsequently propose a new target for the treatment of PDAC.METHODS The Cancer Genome Atlas,Genotype-Tissue Expression,Gene Expression Omnibus,and European Genome-phenome Archive databases were first employed to analyze the CLDN18 gene expression in normal pancreatic tissue compared to that in pancreatic cancer tissue.Second,we analyzed the expression of CLDN18.2 in 93 primary PDACs,86 para-cancer tissues,and 13 normal pancreatic tissues by immunohistochemistry.Immunostained tissues were assessed applying the histoscore.subsequently,they fell into two groups according to the expression state of CLDN18.2.Furthermore,the correlations between CLDN18.2 expression and diverse clinicopathological characteristics,including survival,were investigated.RESULTS The gene expression of CLDN18 was statistically higher(P<0.01)in pancreatic tumors than in normal tissues.However,there was no significant correlation between CLDN18 expression and survival in pancreatic cancer patients.CLDN18.2 was expressed in 88(94.6%)of the reported PDACs.Among these tumors,50(56.8%)cases showed strong immunostaining.The para-cancer tissues were positive in 81(94.2%)cases,among which 32(39.5%)of cases were characterized for strong staining intensities.Normal pancreatic tissue was identified solely via weak immunostaining.Finally,CLDN18.2 expression significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis,nerve invasion,stage,and survival of PDAC patients,while there was no correlation between CLDN18.2 expression and localization,tumor size,patient age and sex,nor any other clinicopathological characteristic.CONCLUSION CLDN18.2 expression is frequently increased in PDAC patients.Thus,it may act as a potential therapeutic target for zolbetuximab in PDAC.

文摘An improved vertical power double-diffused metal–oxide–semiconductor(DMOS) device with a p-region(P1) and high-κ insulator vertical double-diffusion metal–oxide–semiconductor(HKP-VDMOS) is proposed to achieve a better performance on breakdown voltage(BV)/specific on-resistance(Ron,sp) than conventional VDMOS with a high-κ insulator(CHK-VDMOS).The main mechanism is that with the introduction of the P-region,an extra electric field peak is generated in the drift region of HKP-VDMOS to enhance the breakdown voltage.Due to the assisted depletion effect of this p-region,the specific on-resistance of the device could be reduced because of the high doping density of the N-type drift region.Meanwhile,based on the superposition of the depleted charges,a closed-form model for electric field/breakdown voltage is generally derived,which is in good agreement with the simulation result within 10% of error.An HKP-VDMOS device with a breakdown voltage of 600 V,a reduced specific on-resistance of 11.5 m?·cm^2 and a figure of merit(FOM)(BV^2/Ron,sp)of 31.2 MW·cm^(-2) shows a substantial improvement compared with the CHK-VDMOS device.

文摘A simplified theoretical model for the linear Rayleigh-Taylor instability of finite thickness elastic-plastic solid constantly accelerated by finite thickness viscous fluid is performed.With the irrotational assumption,it is possible to consider viscosity,surface tension,elasticity or plasticity effects simultaneously.The model considers thicknesses at rigid wall boundary conditions with the velocity potentials,and deals with solid elastic-plastic transition and fluid viscosity based on the velocity continuity and force equilibrium at contact interface.The complete analytical expressions of the amplitude motion equation,the growth rate,and the instability boundary are obtained for arbitrary Atwood number,viscosity,thicknesses of solid and fluid.The thicknesses effects of two materials on the growth rate and the instability boundary are discussed.

文摘In geostationary orbits and other quasi-vacuum environments,relativistic electron beams are affected by the initial emittance and space charge effects during the propagation process,resulting in beam quality degradation.Furthermore,axial energy distribution change in the beam and the axial transient electromagnetic effect caused by current changes in the head and tail regions of the beam also cause the beam to expand and affect its quality.In this study,the particle-in-cell method was used to construct a long-range propagation model of a relativistic electron beam in a vacuum environment.By calculating and simulating the axial energy distribution of the beam and the changes in the transient electromagnetic field,the axial effect during the propagation process was analyzed,and the parameter change law of the effective propagation of the beam was explored.This provided a theoretical reference for a more accurate assessment of the beam quality during propagation.
