tive Cohort Study.
Retrospective Cohort Study.Texture is one of the most important soil properties that knowledge of the spatial distribution is essential for land-use planning and other activities related to agriculture and environment protection. So, this study was performed to supply the soil texture spatial distribution using standardized spectral reflectance (ZPC1) index of Landsat 8 satellite images in the northwest of Iran. The soil sampling was performed using a random method in 145 points. Mineral soil particles including clay, silt, and sand were determined, and soil texture was calculated. In this study, Landsat 8 satellite images were used to interpolate the soil texture spatial distribution. In the first step, the principal component analysis (PCA) was obtained. Then, PCA1 was standardized using a z-score (ZPC1), and regression techniques were used to create proper relationships between ZPC1 and the primary soil particles. Then, spatial distribution of soil particles was used to create a spatially distributed map of the soil textural classes. The results showed that the standardization of the first component reduced the standard deviation of PCA1 from 23.6 to 10.8. The results of comparing ZPC1 with soil mineral components showed that with increasing the amounts of soil clay and sand, the ZPC1 value decreases and increases, respectively. The results showed that the ranges of the spatial distribution of clay and sand were similar to the laboratory-measured amounts. The results of texture class prediction using the soil texture triangle showed that the amount of similarity between the measured and predicted classes was 53.79%.
Although patients with early gastric cancer have good prognosis, recurrence after treatment may occur. selleck Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in gastric cancer has long been suggested as a poor prognostic indicator. This study sought to evaluate the prognostic effect of LVI in patients with early gastric cancer.

From 2005 to 2016, 6516 patients with early gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy were analyzed. The patients were categorized according to LVI and lymph node (LN) status.

LVI was present in 853 patients (13.1%). Patients with LVI or LN metastasis had more aggressive tumor characteristics than patients without both LVI and LN metastasis. The overall and relapse-free survival in patients with LVI were significantly worse than in patients without LVI. When we compared the survival rate of patients stratified by LVI and LN status, there was a significant overall and relapse-free survival difference between patients without both LVI and LN metastasis compared with those with LVI but without LN metastasis (p < 0.001). The overall and relapse-free survival of patients with LVI but without LN metastasis were similar to those without LVI but with LN metastasis (p = 0.818). Patients with LVI or LN metastasis showed a high frequency of recurrence (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that LVI and LN status were independent risk factors for relapse-free survival of early gastric cancer patients.

Early gastric cancer with LVI is associated with poor prognosis and frequent recurrence. When predicting the prognosis of patients with early gastric cancer, LVI should be considered.

Furthermore, the authors first studied morphology and chemical composition of industrial dust collected from the snow covering the ice of Lake Srednee. Fieldwork was carried out in April 2019. The results showed that sediments of the Murmansk urban lakes are significantly enriched in the content of the toxic metals and metalloids Cd, Pb, Sb, Zn, Cu, V, and Ni. An integrated assessment of anthropogenic impact using the pollution load index (PLI) and geoaccumulation index (Igeo) revealed a moderate to the extremely strong pollution level in recent sediment layers. The analysis of the fractions of the elements showed that they are mainly associated with stable compounds, such as primary minerals or persistent technogenic compounds (slag, matte, and dust). However, humic substances are a significant accumulative matrix for most studied elements. The share of the most mobile fractions does not exceed 30% for the vast majority of elements, even in the most polluted layers. The accumulation of the major part of pollutants can be attributed to the activities of the main industrial objects of the city (thermal power plant, coal port, transport infrastructure), and the impact of the global atmospheric transport of pollutants to the Arctic regions of Russia.
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma of the skeletal muscle generally affecting children and adolescents, shows extensive heterogeneity in histology, site and age of onset, clinical course, and prognosis. Tumorigenesis of RMS is multifactorial and genetic predisposition together with the family history of cancer may provide critical information to enhance the current knowledge and foster genetic counseling and testing.

In our study, we evaluated the possible correlation of oncological family history with clinical outcomes in a cohort of RMS 512 patients and treated at the Pediatric Oncology Unit of our Institute. Family history was retrospectively collected from the specific ad hoc form available in medical records and filled in through an interview with the patients' parents at the time of RMS diagnosis.

While our series did not show a specific association between oncological family history and clinical variables, we observed an association with survival probabilities among patients with a history of cancer-affected first-degree relatives at the time of the diagnosis, all children with alveolar RMS (ARMS) died of disease.

Our study not only reports an interesting and not previously described association between a poor clinical outcome and ARMS in patients with young cancer-affected relatives, but also stimulates the discussion on oncological family history in RMS, to improve the clinical management of these young patients and their families.
