Methods:Clinical data regarding the PBL and tumor tissues were obtained at The First Hospital of Jilin University between February 2009 and March 2017.We detected indices of glucose and lipid metabolism,classified and counted PBL lymphocytes using flow cy-tometry,determined the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes by quantitative immunofluorescence,and analyzed the T-cell receptor(TCR)rep-ertoire by high-throughput sequencing of the TCR β-chain.The correlations between ALB and metabolic immune indices were analyzed by t tests and Pearson chi-square test. Results:A total of 211 enrolled NSCLC patients were divided into a relatively high-ALB group(>41.75 g/L,n = 56)and a low-ALB group(≤41.75 g/L,n = 155);patients with high ALB had lower Treg cells(P<0.05)and more CD8+ cytotoxic T cells in the PBL(P<0.01)and a higher proportion of stromal CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes(P = 0.047)than patients with low ALB.High ALB was also significantly related to more diversity in the TCR repertoire(P = 0.0021,r2 = 0.5481).Moreover,ALB was identified as an in-dependent prognostic factor based on a multivariate Cox regression analysis(P = 0.032;hazard ratio(HR)= 1.804;95%confidence interval(CI)= 1.035-3.146).The median overall survival in patients with low ALB vs high ALB was 28.2 vs 42.2 months(P=0.0142),respectively.Among patients with nonmetastatic NSCLC(stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ),there was a higher incidence of distant metastasis in the low-ALB group than that in the high-ALB group(41.3%and 22.2%,P=0.043).A low ALB also had a strong association with a higher risk for disease progression(P<0.001)and death(P<0.01;HR = 0.555;95%CI= 0.312-0.988). Conclusions:Albumin could affect the host immunity,and high ALB predicted a reduced risk of distant metastasis and improved the prognosis in NSCLC patients.展开更多

In this paper we have presented a new class of domino circuit design for low power consumption, faster circuit speed and high performance. Due to wide fan-in domino logic, its logic gate suffer from noise sensitivity, if we improve sensitivity, sub-threshold and gate oxide leakage current dominate in evaluation network, which increases the power consumption and reduces the performance of the circuit. The proposed circuit improves the dynamic power consumption and reduces the delay which improves the speed of the circuit. Simulation is performed in BISM4 Cadence environment at 65 nm process technology, with supply voltage 1 V at 100 MHz frequency and bottleneck operating temperature of 27°C with CL = 1 fF. From the result average power improvement by proposed circuit 1 & 2 for 8 input OR gate is 10.1%, 15.28% SFLD, 48.56%, 51.49% CKD, 55.17%, 57.71% HSD and improvement of delay is 1.10%, 12.76% SFLD, 19.13%, 28.63% CKD, 4.32%, 15.59% HSD, 19.138%, 44.25% DFD respectively.展开更多
