    Abstract: The in vitro directive of the European Union requires traceability to the international recommended reference procedures. The application of the reference procedures is necessary in order to evaluate the accuracy of γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) assays of routine measurement systems in China. Methods Five frozen patient-pooled serum samples were assigned values by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) reference procedure in order to evaluate the traceability of the results of GGT catalytic activity from six homogeneous systems. One of the serum samples was used to calibrate seven non-homogeneous systems. Results All of the homogeneous systems, except the Dade system (Dade Bering Inc, IL, USA), achieved traceability within the measurement range. The Roche and Hitachi systems were better than the other systems. After calibration, the variance of the non-homogeneous systems decreased dramatically from between 14.50% and 25.23% to between 1.25% and 3.09% and the bias decreased from between −11.4% and −4.1% to between 0.5% and 3.5%. Conclusion Manufacturers in China should ensure that their calibration systems correspond to the IFCC reference procedures. Fresh frozen pooled patient serum assigned by reference laboratories can be used to calibrate non-homogeneous systems in order to achieve traceability.

    Abstract: The role of HIV/AIDS in non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is not well defined. We sought to update the evidence of the association between HIV/AIDS and risk of NMSC by gender and antiretroviral therapy (ART). We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE on 29 February 2014. Standardised incidence ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were extracted and combined using generic inverse variance methods assuming a random effects model. Six studies including 78,794 patients with HIV/AIDS fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Analysis of all studies showed that HIV/AIDS was associated with an increased risk of NMSC (standardised incidence ratio 2.76; 95% confidence interval 2.55–2.98). The standardised incidence ratios of NMSC were 3.63 (1.08–12.22) for men and 2.18 (1.24–3.83) for women with HIV/AIDS, respectively. In analysis stratified by ART, we found that individuals receiving ART had lower risk of developing NMSC than individuals who had not received ART (standardised incidence ratio, 95% confidence interval; 1.95 [1.10–3.47] versus 2.11 [1.44-3.12]). HIV/AIDS is associated with an increased risk of NMSC in both male and female patients. The use of ART appears to be beneficial in protecting against the development of NMSC.

    Abstract: Currently, 6-month oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy has been recommended as the preferred adjuvant treatment against high-risk stage 2 and stage 3 colon cancer patients. Methods: Record retrieval was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, American Society of Clinical Oncology and European Society for Medical Oncology meeting libraries from inception to November 2019. Regarding survival and tolerability, randomized controlled trials comparing different adjuvant systemic regimens against high-risk stage 2 and stage 3 colon cancer were eligible. Disease-free survival was primary endpoint. Network calculation was based on a random-effects model, and relative ranking of each node was numerically indicated by p score. Results: A total of 30 trials were included, corresponding to 54,109 patients. Regarding disease-free survival, none of the analyzed regimens displayed significant superiority against common comparator 6-month capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX), while 12-month [network hazard ratio (HR) 0.81 (0.60–1.10); 0.79 (0.57–1.10)] and 3-month XELOX [0.95 (0.86–1.04); 0.93 (0.83–1.05)] were top-ranking regimens showing non-inferiority among overall and stage 3 patients. Moreover, by pairwise meta-analysis, 3-month XELOX demonstrated significant superiority against 6-month XELOX among low-risk stage 3 patients [pairwise HR 0.78 (0.63–0.97)] . Concerning adverse events, 3-month oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy was significantly better than the 6-month counterpart with respect to peripheral sensory neuropathy, thrombocytopenia and fatigue. The 12-month capecitabine monotherapy failed to display non-inferiority among other major adverse events. Conclusions: The 3-month XELOX treatment could be an alternative option of the 6-month regimen among low-risk stage 3 patients. Among high-risk stage 3 patients, 6-month oxaliplatin-based regimens still seem more competitive. In addition, clinical application of 12-month capecitabine monotherapy should be cautious, despite its top rankings, especially among non-Asian countries.

    Abstract: Due to the complex structure and stakeholder relationships within a program, the management of conflicts in program therein proves more challenging than with a single project. The internal conflict of a program affects the performance of the program team and the success of the program. The previous researches focus more on the project level rather than program level, and lack a systematic analysis of management mechanism of team conflict. This research contributes to the program conflict literature by investigating the unique nature and solutions of conflict within program team, taking a systematic and innovative view on the organizational structure of a complex construction program. The findings reveal unique program conflict and their causes and impacts, and suggest the principles and alternative resolution strategies for conflict in program. The different roles of stakeholders in program conflict are analyzed by social network method. A program conflict management model is developed for the effective management of program conflicts. The model provides a systematic view of the learning cycle of program conflict management, including conflict identification, resolution, feedback, and prevention, of which many patterns are found distinct from project conflict management. The research results can benefit practitioners and researchers in better understanding and minimizing program conflict.

    Abstract: Currently, preoperative chemoradiotherapy, perioperative chemotherapy and preoperative chemotherapy are recommended by NCCN, ESMO and Japanese guidelines respectively for resectable esophageal and junctional cancer. However, these recommendations are mainly based on esophageal cancer research. Therefore, specific for esophagogastric junction cancer, we conducted the first systematic review and network meta-analysis to rank all potential treatments simultaneously and hierarchically. Methods: Record retrieval was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, ASCO and ESMO Meeting Library from inception to September 2018. Regarding time-to-event survival data, randomized controlled trials featuring comparisons between different multimodal treatments against resectable esophagogastric junction cancer were eligible. Overall survival was the endpoint. Network calculation was based on a random-effects model and the relative ranking of each node was numerically indicated by P-score (CRD42018110369, registration identifier of the meta-analysis in PROSPERO.). Results: Eight studies were included in our systematic review, corresponding to 1218 patients. Regarding overall survival, ‘PreCRT’ (preoperative chemoradiotherapy) topped the hierarchy (HR 1.00, P-score = 0.823), better than ‘PeriCT’ (perioperative chemotherapy; HR 1.32, P-score = 0.591) and ‘PreCT’ (preoperative chemotherapy; HR 1.54, P-score = 0.428). In sensitivity analyses, irrespective of interchanging to fixed-effects model or removing potentially heterogeneous studies, relative rankings remained stable and ‘PreCRT’ was still the optimal node. Conclusion: Preoperative chemoradiotherapy could potentially be the optimal multimodal treatment, which displayed more overall survival benefits than perioperative chemotherapy and preoperative chemotherapy among resectable esophagogastric junction cancer patients. To further verify our pooled results, more randomized trials will be needed to compare preoperative chemoradiotherapy with perioperative chemotherapy (especially FLOT-based regimens).

    Abstract: This paper reports on investigations into seismic ductility reduction factors for vertically irregular multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems subjected to pulse-like ground motions. Ductility reduction factors of irregular MDOF systems are obtained by modifying those of reference regular MDOF systems through a modification factor. Specifically, the structural vertical irregularities are introduced by changing the combined-strength-and-stiffness at the first storey of a reference regular system. The five main parameters of irregularity ratio, ductility ratio, fundamental period, storey number and velocity pulse of ground motions, have been investigated to gain insight into the modification factors. It is demonstrated that ductility reduction factors for irregular MDOF systems are clearly smaller than those for regular MDOF systems. The modification factor is mainly affected by irregularity ratio, and ductility ratio, decreasing with decreasing irregularity ratio and increasing ductility ratio. However, the storey number and fundamental period are observed to have little influence on this modification. Finally, based on the statistical results of pulse-like and non-pulse-like cases, reference values of the modification factors are suggested, which can somehow accounts for the effects of vertical irregularity and velocity pulse on ductility reduction factor in engineering application.

    In: Project Management Journal, SAGE Publications, Vol. 52, No. 6 ( 2021-12), p. 577-591
    Abstract: Based on social comparison theory and organizational justice, this research explores how Guanxi with the horizontal leader (HL) influences coworker turnover intention. We used the snowball sampling method to collect survey data from 203 employees in 22 project teams. Overall, Guanxi with the HL had an indirect influence on turnover intention through perceived distributive justice pertaining to HL identification. Additionally, procedural justice had a negative, cross-level moderating effect on the relationship between Guanxi with the HL and perceived distributive justice. However, the individual-level moderating role of interactional justice was not supported. Theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed.

    Abstract: An ectopic pelvic kidney is a rare congenital anomaly with a high incidence of complications such as reflux, hydronephrosis, nephrolithiasis, and even renal failure. We herein report a case of transperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy for treatment of a left pelvic kidney stone and discuss various surgical procedures based on the published literature. A 64-year-old woman presented to our hospital with generalized weakness and occasional nonspecific waist pain in October 2017. Computed tomography showed a 2.6-cm renal pelvis stone located in the left ectopic pelvic kidney with severe hydronephrosis. The patient underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and was discharged 7 days after surgery. Various treatment procedures are available for ectopic kidney stones. Proper preoperative assessment and selection of the most suitable surgical procedure play critical roles in successful treatment.

    Abstract: Fibrosis is formed after injury in most of the organs as a common and complex response that profoundly affects regeneration of damaged tissue. In central nervous system (CNS), glial scar grows as a major physical and chemical barrier against regeneration of neurons as it forms dense isolation and creates an inhibitory environment, resulting in limitation of optimal neural function and permanent deficits of human body. In neurological damages, glial scar is mainly attributed to the activation of resident astrocytes which surrounds the lesion core and walls off intact neurons. Glial cells induce the infiltration of immune cells, resulting in transient increase in extracellular matrix deposition and inflammatory factors which inhibit axonal regeneration, impede functional recovery, and may contribute to the occurrence of neurological complications. However, recent studies have underscored the importance of glial scar in neural protection and functional improvement depending on the specific insults which involves various pivotal molecules and signaling. Thus, to uncover the veil of scar formation in CNS may provide rewarding therapeutic targets to CNS diseases such as chronic neuroinflammation, brain stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain tumor, and epileptogenesis. In this article, we try to describe the new portrait of glial scar and trending of research in neurological diseases to readers.
