The high mortality...Background and objective Lung cancer is the most common cause of death in men in the world and in Indonesia where nonsmall cell carcinoma lung cancer(NSCLC) constitutes 85% of all lung cancer cases. The high mortality rate is due to a poor prognosis and is often diagnosed as having advanced stages. If it is known at the initial stage, the prognosis of lung cancer will be better. Prognosis can be predicted with a marker of prognostic biology, one of which is micro RNA(mi RNA). This study aims to prove that serum mi RNA can be predictive biological marker and prognosis in NSCLC patients in Indonesia.Methods This study was cohort retrospective among 52 subjects in "Dharmais" Hospital National Cancer Center. Sample was obtained from patients’ serum. Mi R-34, mi R-148, mi R-155 and mi R-222 serum are measured through Real-Time PCR(q PCR). Data were analyzed and interpreted with descriptive analysis, bivariate analysis(Mann Whitney-U for two type of variables or Kruskal-Wallis for more than two type of variables. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to know association between characteristic which are sociodemographic, performance status, clinico-pathology, and survival rate in mi RNA expression. Results From this study, mi RNA expression: mi R-34(46.15%), mi R-148(23.08%), mi R-155(40.38%) and mi R-222(32.69%). Performance status score was statistically significant correlation with mi R-148(P=0.049) and mi R-222(P=0.018). High mi R-34 is associated with multiple M1 b metastatic type(P=0.020), cancer cell type(adenocarcinoma, P=0.009) and adenocarcinoma epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutation(negative, P=0.031). There was a significant correlation between the high mi R-222 as a poor prognosis in advanced stage NSCLC with M1 b metastasis(Median Survival/MS: 27 d, P=0.049) and positive EGFR mutations(MS: 74 d, P=0.049) and correlation of mi R-155 with adenocarcinoma(MS: 69 d, P=0.034) and positive EGFR gene mutations(MS: 58 d, P=0.023).Conclusion High mi R-34 expression in advanced stage NSCLC is the predictive factor for multiple metastatic, adenocarcinoma cell type and adenocarcinoma negative EGFR mutation. High expression of mi R-155 and mi R-222 are poor prognoses, especially high mi R-222 found in metastasis M1 b and positive EGFR mutation and mi R-155 found in adenocarcinoma and positive EGFR gene mutations. Further studies regarding correlation between mi RNA and survival rate are needed.展开更多

Particular attention was paid to the performance of the integrated system for the removal of chemical oxygen demand(COD), ammonia nitrogen(NH3-N) and total nitrogen(TN). The average removal efficiencies of COD, NH3-N and TN were 76.28%, 96.76% and 59.97%, with the average effluent mass concentrations of 56, 0.53 and 18.83 mg/L, respectively, reaching the first grade of the national discharge standard. Moreover, the results of gas chromatography/mass spectrum(GC/MS) and gel permeation chromatography(GPC) analysis demonstrated that the refractory organic compounds with high relative molecular mass were partly removed in IZVI process by the function of oxidation-reduction, flocculation and adsorption which could also enhance the biodegradability of the system effluent. The removal efficiencies of NH3-N and TN were achieved mainly in the subsequent AF/BAF reactors by nitrification and denitrification. Overall, the results obtained show that the application of IZVI in combination with AF/BAF is a promising technology for advanced treatment of biologically pretreated coking wastewater.展开更多

In this paper, a mixed stochastic user equilibrium model was proposed to describe the interactive route choice behaviors between ATIS equipped and unequipped drivers on a degradable transport network. In the proposed model the information accessibility of equipped drivers was reflected by lower degree of uncertainty in their stochastic equilibrium flow distributions, and their behavioral adaptability was captured by multiple equilibrium behaviors over the stochastic network state set. The mixed equilibrium model was formulated as a fixed point problem defined in the mixed route flows, and its solution was achieved by executing an iterative algorithm. Numerical experiments were provided to verify the properties of the mixed network equilibrium model and the efficiency of the iterative algorithm.展开更多

Firstly, the AERSM was developed and its mathematical model was established based on artificial neural network, and the PSO algorithm was investigated. And then the RBDO model of flexible mechanism was presented based on AERSM and PSO. Finally, regarding cross-sectional area as design variable, the reliability optimization of flexible mechanism was implemented subject to reliability degree and uncertainties based on the proposed approach. The optimization results show that the cross-section sizes obviously reduce by 22.96 mm^2 while keeping reliability degree. Through the comparison of methods, it is demonstrated that the AERSM holds high computational efficiency while keeping computational precision for the RBDO of flexible mechanism, and PSO algorithm minimizes the response of the objective function. The efforts of this work provide a useful sight for the reliability optimization of flexible mechanism, and enrich and develop the reliability theory as well.展开更多
