Impacts of additional cycles of neoadjuvant immunotherapy on surgery in non‐small‐cell lung cancer

Abstract Objective Whether cycle number influences the subsequent pathological or surgical outcomes remained unclear. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and surgical safety of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy‐based treatment in the real‐world setting. Methods Clinical data of patients who received neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy for non‐small‐cell lung cancer between 2018 and 2021 were collected. Oncological outcomes such as objective response rate (ORR), major pathological response (MPR), and pathological complete response (pCR), and surgical outcomes including operating time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative drainage, and hospital stay were analyzed. Results In total, 176 patients were included, among whom 102 cases were lung squamous carcinoma (LUSQ). After immunochemotherapy, 98 (56%) of patients achieved ORR. Notably, the ORR (63% vs. 46%, p = 0.039) and pCR (45% vs. 27%, p = 0.022) were significantly higher in patients with LUSQ. For patients who received two, three, four, and five or more cycles, the ORRs were 52%, 67%, 53%, and 50% (p = 0.36). In post hoc analysis, cycle numbers showed no significant association with MPR or pCR (p = 0.14 and p = 0.073). Treatment cycles showed no influence on operating time, postoperative drainage, and hospital stay (p = 0.79, 0.37, and 0.22). Notably, the blood loss index of patients who received more than four cycles was higher than those receiving four or fewer cycles (mean blood loss: two or fewer cycles 153.1, three cycles 113.8, four cycles 137.6, and five or more cycles 293.3, respectively). Conclusions This study indicated that cycles of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy had no significant effect on the feasibility and safety of surgery. Although not statistically significant, patients who received five or more cycles of treatment experienced higher intraoperative blood loss

Influence of buffers on the electrodeposition of nickel from a Watts bath

缓冲剂对镀镍过程作用机理的研究①高灿柱鹿玉理刘汝涛陈方（山东大学环境工程系济南２５０１００）李树本（中国科学院兰州化学物理研究所兰州７３００００）电镀镍是量大面广的镀种，它作为镀铬、贵金属、仿金、枪黑、黑镍的底层，用途非常广泛［１］．在镀镍过程中，...The electrochemical reactions occurring during the deposition of nickel from Watts bath have been examined using the voltammetric technique. The important reactions taking place at the anode and cathode have been identified. The influence of buffers HAc,H_3BO_3 and NH_4Cl on the rate of nickel deposition was marked in the lower concentration (0.01-0.05 mol/L) of buffers. The reason why buffers make the rate of nickel deposition increase were discussed.作者联系地址：山东大学环境工程系,中国科学院兰州化学物理研究所Author's Address: Dep.of Env.Eng.Shandong Univ.Jinan,Shandong 25000Li ShubenLanzhou Inst. of Chem.
