Borrmann classification in advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is necessarily associated with personalized surgical strategy and prognosis. But few radiomics research studies have focused on specific Borrmann classification, and there is yet no consensus regarding what machine learning methods should be the most effective.

A combined size of 889 AGC patients was retrospectively enrolled from two centers. Radiomic features were extracted from tumors manually delineated on preoperative computed tomography images. Two classification experiments (Borrmann I/II/III vs. IV and Borrmann II vs. III) were conducted. In each task, we combined three common feature selection methods and five typical machine learning classifiers to construct 15 basic classification models, and then fed the 15 predictions to a designed multilayer perceptron (MLP) network.

In internal and external validation cohorts, the proposed ensemble MLP yielded good performance with area under curves of 0.767 and 0.702 for Borrmann I/II/III vs. IV, aspe II from III. The study provided a new view for specific Borrmann classification in clinical practice.
To show the feasibility of real-time CT image generation technique utilizing internal fiducial markers that facilitate the evaluation of internal deformation.

In the proposed method, a linear regression model that can derive internal deformation from the displacement of fiducial markers is built for each voxel in the training process before the treatment session. Marker displacement and internal deformation are derived from the four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) dataset. In the treatment session, the three-dimensional deformation vector field is derived according to the marker displacement, which is monitored by the real-time imaging system. The whole CT image can be synthesized by deforming the reference CT image with a deformation vector field in real-time. To show the feasibility of the technique, image synthesis accuracy and tumor localization accuracy were evaluated using the dataset generated by extended NURBS-Based Cardiac-Torso (XCAT) phantom and clinical 4DCT datasets from six patients, .4±0.3mm, respectively. In the validation with patient 4DCT dataset, the mean RMSE, NRMSE, SSIM, and three-dimensional tumor localization error in six patients were 73.7±19.6 HU, 9.2±2.6%, 0.88±0.04, and 0.8±0.6mm, respectively. These results suggest that the accuracy of the proposed technique is adequate when the respiratory motion is within the range of the training dataset. In the evaluation with a marker displacement larger than that of the training dataset, the mean RMSE, NRMSE, and tumor localization error were about 100 HU, 13%, and <2.0mm, respectively, except for one case having large motion variation. The performance of the proposed method was similar to those of previous studies. Processing time to generate the volumetric image was <100ms.

So far, they have mostly been connected to diseases and pathological conditions. More recent results revealed a somewhat unexpected role of ROS in control of developmental processes. In this review, we elaborate on ROS in development, focussing on their connection to epithelial tissue morphogenesis. After briefly summarising unique characteristics of epithelial cells, we present some characteristic features of ROS species, their production and targets, with a focus on proteins important for epithelial development and function. Finally, we provide examples of regulation of epithelial morphogenesis by ROS, and also of developmental genes that regulate the overall redox status. We conclude by discussing future avenues of research that will further elucidate ROS regulation in epithelial development.Soil salinity is a major challenge that will be faced more and more by human population in the near future. Higher salt concentrations in the soil limit the growth and production of crops, which poses serious threats to global food production. Various plant breeding approaches have been followed in the past which are reported to reduce the effect of salt stress by inducing the level of protective metabolites like osmolytes and antioxidants. Conventional breeding approaches are time-consuming and not cost-effective. In recent times, genetic engineering has been largely followed to confer salt tolerance through introgressions of single transgenes or stacking multiple transgenes. However, most of such works are limited only at the laboratory level and field trials are still awaited to prove the long-term efficacy of such transgenics. In this review, we attempt to present a broad overview of the current strategies undertaken to develop halophytic and salt-tolerant crops. The salt-induced damages in the plants are highlighted, followed by representing the novel traits, associated with salt stress, which can be used for engineering salt tolerance in glycophytic crops. Additionally, the role of transcriptional and epigenetic regulation in plants for amelioration of salt-induced damages has been reviewed. The role of post-transcriptional mechanisms such as microRNA regulation, genome editing and alternative splicing, during salt stress, and their implications in the development of salt-tolerant crops are also discussed. Finally, we present a short overview about the role of ion transporters and rhizobacteria in the engineering of salt tolerance in crop species.
