Article 59.1, of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (ICN; Melbourne Code), which addresses the nomenclature of pleomorphic fungi, became effective from 30 July 2011. Since that date, each fungal species can have one nomenclaturally correct name in a particular classification. All other previously used names for this species will be considered as synonyms. The older generic epithet takes priority over the younger name. Any widely used younger names proposed for use, must comply with Art. 57.2 and their usage should be approved by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). In this paper, we list all genera currently accepted by us in Dothideomycetes (belonging to 23 orders and 110 families), including pleomorphic and non-pleomorphic genera. In the case of pleomorphic genera, we follow the rulings of the current ICN and propose single generic names for future usage. The taxonomic placements of 1261 genera are listed as an outline. Protected names and suppressed names for 34 pleomorphic genera are listed separately. Notes and justifications are provided for possible proposed names after the list of genera. Notes are also provided on recent advances in our understanding of asexual and sexual morph linkages in Dothideomycetes. A phylogenetic tree based on four gene analyses supported 23 orders and 75 families, while 35 families still lack molecular data

A Nomogram Based on the Log Odds of Positive Lymph Nodes Predicts the Prognosis of Patients with Colon Neuroendocrine Tumors After Surgery: A Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Population-Based Study

Purpose This work focused on determining the highly efficient nodal classification system from American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor node metastasis (TNM) classification (eighth edition), positive lymph node, log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS), lymph node ratio, examined lymph node, and establishing the new nomogram for predicting cancer-specific survival in colon neuroendocrine tumors (CNETs). Methods From the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, 943 CNET cases undergoing radical operation were enrolled, and randomized as training ( n   =  663) or validation set ( n   =  280). For the above 5 lymph node classification systems, their prediction performances were compared with C-index, Akaike information criterion (AIC), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Univariate together with multivariate regression was carried out for identifying independent risk factors. Afterward, this work established 1 nomogram and confirmed its accuracy based on C-index, calibration curves, together with the area under the curve value. Besides, it was compared with the AJCC TNM classification system with regard to model prediction performance. Results LODSS achieved the greatest area under the curve and C-index, whereas the smallest AIC. Upon multivariate regression, age, histologic grade, T stage, M stage, and LODDS independently predicted the risk of CNETs. For the validation set, the C-index of the nomogram was 0.794, and the area under the curves at 1, 3, and 5 years was 0.826, 0.857, and 0.870, separately. Additionally, as revealed by the C-index, AIC, decision curve analysis, as well as Kaplan–Meier analysis, our nomogram had superior performance to the AJCC TNM classification system. Conclusions For postoperative patients with CNETs, the LODDS might achieve the best prediction performance. Moreover, the LODDS-based nomograms might show superior survival prediction performance to the AJCC TNM classification system (eighth edition)
