Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) of the lungs is a known morphological subtype of nonsmall cell cancer. The current study presents several carcinogenetic theories of BAC and the possible relationship with atypical adenomatous hyperplasia and congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). The authors present an unusual case of BAC developed in an area of CPAM, with subsequent progression to ...

The 2016 Great Wall International Translational Andrology and Urology Forum, and Huaxia Medical ForumGenitourinary Tumor (HMF-GUT2016 & GITAU2016) will be held at Tianjin Convention Center, Tianjin, China, April 15–17, 2016. Please visit the meeting website (http:// www.gua-hmf2016.com) for more information. HMF-GUT2016 & GITAU2016 is organized by China International Exchange and Promotive Asso...

In the current scenario, information retrieval is one of the major research areas. The retrieval process in image databases, evaluation of similarity and their mutual relationships depends on the content representation with various features. Since 1992, the multidimensional research has been carried out to meet out the aim with color, shape, texture and spatial layout as the features. In this p...

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a very rare pulmonary disease in children. It is often misdiagnosed as a persistent and localized pneumothorax without any further pathological diagnosis. Malignancy and frequent airway infections are major concerns in these patients. Surgical excision is recommended to make a definite diagnosis and exclude hidden malignancies, and is also the ...

High-yield pulp (HYP) such as bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (BCTMP) from aspen wood, is now being used in the production of highquality fine papers, and this is particularly true in China. In this study, the effect of using cationic polymers such as poly-aluminum chloride (PAC), polyethylenimine (PEI), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) ...

In this paper, we propose to use the Colored Pattern Appearance Model (CPAM) as a content representation for video scene break detection. This model represents a scene by means of global statistics of the local visual appearance, and was originally motivated by studies in human color vision. The performance of this method is compared to several histogram-based approaches. An adaptive thresholdi...

The effects of the cationic surfactant (cationic cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, CTAB) on the improvement of the sludge dewaterability using the cationic flocculant (cationic polyacrylamide, CPAM) were analyzed. Residual turbidity of supernatant, dry solid (DS) content, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), specific resistance to filtration (SRF), zeta potential, floc size, and settling r...

Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) was synthesized by aqueous two-phase polymerization technique using acrylamide (AM) and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate methyl chloride (DMC) as raw materials, aqueous polyethylene glycol 20000 (PEG 20000) solution as dispersant, 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (V-50) as initiator and poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate methyl chloride) (PDMC) as st...

An infant was suspected to have congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) (Fig. 1(A) and (B)). A lower lobectomy was performed at 6 days of age, and the pathological examination was type 1 CPAM with a complication of abnormal blood vessel (Fig. 2(A)—(C)). Fig. 1. (A) Coronal MRI at 30 weeks of gestation revealed fe...

Abstract Background Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) with partial anomalous venous connection presenting as episodic retrosternal chest pain on exertion in an adult has not been described. Case presentation A 21-year-old female, non-smoker, presented a 4-year history of sharp, episodic, pains brought exercise. contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed grossly overinf...
