ObjectiveTo summarize the current research progress in the prediction of the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy of breast cancer based on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and radiomics. MethodThe researches on the application of AI and radiomics in neoadjuvant therapy of breast cancer in recent 5 years at home and abroad were searched in CNKI, Google Scholar, Wanfang database and PubMed database, and the related research progress was reviewed. ResultsAI had developed rapidly in the field of medical imaging, and molybdenum target, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging combined with AI had been deepened and expanded in different degrees in the application research of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. In the research of molybdenum target combined with AI, the high sensitivity of molybdenum target to microcalcification was mostly used to improve the accuracy of early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, so as to achieve the clinical purpose of early detection and diagnosis. However, in terms of prediction of neoadjuvant efficacy research of breast cancer, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging combined with AI were more prevalent, and their popularity remained unabated. ConclusionIn the monitoring of neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer, the use of properly designed AI and radiomics models can give full play to its role in the predicting the curative effect of neoadjuvant therapy, and help to guide doctors in clinical diagnosis and treatment and evaluate the prognosis of breast cancer patients.
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Xiao’er kang xian capsule added to anti-seizure medications (ASMs) in the treatment of children with refractory epilepsy and its influence on serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and cludter of differentiation 19+ (CD19+) levels. Methods A total of 60 children with refractory epilepsy were selected from the pediatric outpatient department and ward of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from February 2021 to June 2023. The study subjects were divided into two groups by numerical random method,with 30 cases in each group. The children with Xiao’er kang xian capsule added to the original treatment were the treatment group and the children without Xiao’er kang xian capsule added to the original treatment were the control group. The frequency, duration, EEG characteristics, adverse reactions and changes in serum NSE and CD19+ levels of the two groups were compared after treatment. Results Self-control before and after treatment in the treatment group: the frequency and duration of seizures were significantly reduced, with statistical difference (P<0.05). EEG discharge index in awake period and sleep period were significantly decreased, with statistical difference (P<0.05). After 6 months of treatment, comparison between the two groups of children: the seizure frequency of children in the treatment group was significantly decreased compared with the control group (P=0.03). There was a statistical difference (P<0.05), and the seizure duration in the treatment group was less than that in the control group (P=0.863), the clinical effective rate of treatment group 83.33% was higher than that of control group 63.33% (P=0.08), the effective rate of EEG in treatment group 80% was higher than that of control group 60% (P=0.091), serum NSE and CD19+ in treatment group were lower than that of control group, with no statistical difference (P>0.05). After 12 months of treatment, the frequency and duration of seizures in the treatment group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The clinical efficacy and effectiveness of treatment group were significantly higher than that of control group (P=0.038). The incidence of adverse reactions in both groups was 16.67% (P>0.05). The effective rate of EEG in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group (P=0.053). Serum NSE and CD19+ in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). ConclusionFor children with refractory epilepsy, the addition of Xiao’er kang xian capsule on the basis of the original treatment has obvious effect low adverse reaction and high safety. NSE and CD19+ can be used as monitoring indicators for the influence of the disease and prognosis evaluation during the treatment of children with epilepsy.
Objective To study the efficacy and adverse events of adjunctive perampanel in children with refractory epilepsy. Methods A prospective study was carried out in 45 children with refractory epilepsy, who were treated in our hospital from January 2020 to February 2021 using perampanel as an add-on treatment, with a criteria for enrollment and the starting dose of perampanel. Follow-up would be taken at once a month. Afte 3 months would check blood routine, liver function, kidney function and humoral immunity. The EEG was reviewed after 6 months. The initial dose of perampanel was 0.04 mg/(kg·d) (the maximum didn't exceed 2 mg/d), increasing by 0.04 mg/(kg·d) every two weeks, and the maximum maintenance dose didn't exceed 6 mg/d. The efficacy and adverse reactions of perampanel were evaluated by comparing the seizure frequency and EEG results before and after a 6-month add-on therapy.ResultsAmong the 45 children,complete seizure control was achieved in 7 cases after the therapy, and the seizure attacks were reduced in 26 cases, showing a total response rate of 73.3%. After the treatment, the epileptiform discharge of 28 children was reduced, and the effective rate was 62.22%. During the observation period, all the blood routine, liver function, kidney function,and humoral immunity of the children were normal.10 cases of adverse reactions occurred after the additional treatment of perampanel, and the adverse reaction rate was 22.22%. Conclusions Perampanel has good efficacy and safety in the add-on treatment of refractory epilepsy.
