Nano‐silicon fertiliser increases the yield and quality of cherry radish by Xinxin Xu, Yaozu Guo, Yi Hao, Zeyu Cai, Yini Cao, Wanzhen Fang, Bangyin Zhao, Christy L. Haynes, Jason C. White, Chuanxin Ma

“…Si‐based NMs exposure positively altered the phytohormone network and decreased abscisic acid content, both of which promoted radish fresh weight. LC‐MS‐based metabolomic analysis shows that Si‐based NMs increased the contents of most carbohydrates (e.g., α‐D‐glucose, acetylgalactosamine, lactose, fructose, etc.) and amino acids (e.g., asparagine, glutamic acid, glutamine, valine, arginine, etc.), subsequently improving overall nutritional values. …”

A preoperative predictive model based on multi-modal features to predict pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in esophageal cancer patients by Yana Qi, Yanran Hu, Chengting Lin, Ge Song, Liting Shi, Hui Zhu

“…Shapley values were also utilized to explain the prediction model.ResultsThe predictive capability of the multi-modality model in predicting pCR yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75-1.00), outperforming the radiomics model (AUC 0.70 [95% CI 0.54-0.85]), pathomics model (AUC 0.77 [95% CI 0.53-1.00]), and clinical model (AUC 0.63 [95% CI 0.46-0.80]). Additionally, both the calibration plot and DCA curves support the clinical utility of the integrated multi-modality model.ConclusionsThe combined multi-modality model we propose can better predict the pCR status of esophageal cancer and help inform clinical treatment decisions.…”
