Imaging data of No. 11 patient who had left RCC with renal hilar lymph node metastasis.

<p>(A) Left kidney tumor and renal hilar lymph node metastasis before neo-adjuvant therapy. (B) After 86 days of neoadjuvant therapy, left kidney tumor downsized and renal hilar lymph node decreased, tumor partially necrotized. (C) Section of resected left kidney, showing partial tumor necrosis and fibrosis.</p

Effect of long–term applications of compost and fertilizer NPK on the mass proportion of aggregates in soil.

<p>Vertical bars indicate the standard error of the means (<i>n</i> = 4). Different letters denote significant differences between aggregates in the same treatment (a, b, c, d, e) and between treatments with the same aggregate (x, y, z) at <i>P<</i>0.05.</p

Superconducting Fiber with Transition Temperature up to 7.43 K in Nb₂Pd_<i>x</i>S_5−δ (0.6 < <i>x</i> <1)

Wiring systems powered by highly efficient superconductors have long been a dream of scientists, but researchers have faced practical challenges such as finding flexible materials. Here we report superconductivity in Nb₂Pd_<i>x</i>S_5−δ fibers with transition temperature up to 7.43 K, which have typical diameters of 0.3–3 μm. Superconductivity occurs in a wide range of Pd (0.6 < <i>x</i> <1) and S (0 < δ <0.61) contents, suggesting that the superconductivity in this system is very robust. Long fibers with suitable size provide a new route to high-power transmission cables and electronic devices

Imaging data of No. 17 patient who had bilateral RCC with lung metastasis.

<p>(A1) Before neoadjuvant therapy, maximum tumor diameter in right kidney was 7 cm, maximum tumor diameter in left kidney was 4 cm. (B1) Right lung metastasis diameter was 1.5 cm. (A2) After left partial nephrectomy and successive 90 days of neoadjuvant therapy, maximum tumor diameter in right kidney was reduced to 5.2cm. (B2) Right lung metastasis diameter was 1.0 cm. (A3) After 150 days of neoadjuvant therapy, maximum tumor diameter in right kidney was 4.6 cm. (B1) Right lung metastasis diameter was 0.5 cm. </p

Imaging data of No. 13 patient who had right RCC with tumor thrombus.

<p>(A) Right RCC with IVC grade III tumor thrombus before neoadjuvant therapy. IVC was obliterated. (B) After 92 days of neoadjuvant therapy, IVC thrombus was down–graded to grade II, IVC was partially recanalized. (C) Resected right kidney and IVC tumor thrombus.</p
