Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effect of lumbar discectomy and nerve root canal's enlargement preserving the continuity of supraspinous ligament in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. Methods: The data of patients with lumbar degenerative disease who underwent operation from 2016 to 2018 were analyzed retrospectively, and the patients were divided into two groups according to the different operation. The treatment group (17 cases) was treated with recapping laminoplasty, lumbar discectomy and nerve root canal's enlargement, and the control group (28 cases) was treated with total laminectomy, nerve root canal's enlargement, lumbar discectomy, interbody fusion and internal fixation (PLIF). All patients were followed up for 12 to 27 months (mean 17.8 months). Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores(JOA) and visual analogue scale(VAS) of pain were used to evaluate the clinical effect before and after the operation, lumbar dynamical X-ray and Cobb angle were collecting for imaging evaluation, and the adjacent segment degeneration at the last follow-up was recorded. Results: There was no significant difference in preoperative JOA score, VAS score and Lumbar Cobb angle between the two groups (all P>0.05). The operation time in the treatment group was shorter than that in the control group, and the blood loss during operation in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, the bed rest time of the treatment group after operation was shorter than that in the control group ((79±14) vs (118±17) min, (151±38) vs (324±70) ml and (3.4±0.7) vs (4.3±1.0) d,respectively; t=-8.508, -10.724, -3.244, all P<0.01). In addition, compared with the control group, the volume of postoperative drainage in the treatment group also decreased significantly (t=-5.637, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in JOA score between the two groups 1 year after the operation (P>0.05), but there was significant difference in VAS score between the two groups, the treatment group was better than the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the lumbar Cobb angle in the treatment group increased significantly one year after the operation (55.3°±3.2° vs 38.4°±6.2°, t=10.391, P<0.05). During the follow-up, no loosening or fracture of the implants was found in all patients. Conclusion: Treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases with recapping laminoplasty and nerve root canal's decompression preserving the continuity of supraspinous ligament by ultrasound osteotome has the same clinical effect as PLIF. It has the advantages of shortening operation time, less bleeding, better maintenance of lumbar lordosis after operation and reduction of adjacent segment degeneration.

Abstract
Objective: To explore The feasibility of digital guidance drill templates assisted expansive open-door laminoplasty. Methods: Ten specimens of normal adult cervical spine (C3-7) were selected, including six males and four females. The specimens aged 42-67 years, with an average age of (43.6±4.2) years. After CT scanning, the date was imported into Mimics software in DICOM format. 3D models were reconstructed and the position and depth of troughs on the open side and hinge side were selected for expansive open-door laminoplasty. Drill templates were designed and exported in STL, manufactured by 3D printing finally. Then drill templates were attached to the posterior part of cervical lamina and spinous process. Under guidance of templates, troughs of both sides were conducted by using a high-speed drill. Then the lamina is elevated and instrumentations were implanted. Postoperative CT scanning was conducted to record the fracture of trough on the hinge side. 3D reconstruction was performed again to compare the position and depth between theory and actual trough on both sides by paired t test. Results: A total of 50 drill templates were designed and manufactured. There was no occurrence of hinge fracture after operation. In C3-7, the distance range between the theory position of troughs on the open side and the midline was 11.8-14.4 mm, while in actual it was 11.4-14.0 mm. The distance range between the theory position of troughs on the hinge side and the midline was 11.6-14.3 mm; in actual, it was 10.9-14.0 mm. The theory depth range of trough on the hinge side was 3.0-3.8 mm, while the actual depth was 3.1-3.8 mm. According to the statistical analysis, the difference in the position of trough on the open side, the position of trough on the hinge side and the depth of trough on the hinge side between theory and actual were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Digital guided template assisted open-door laminoplasty is a feasible technique, which can improve the accuracy and safety of the position and depth of the trough, and has clinical application value.

Comparison of MRI and CT for the Prediction of Microvascular Invasion in Solitary Hepatocellular Carcinoma Based on a Non-Radiomics and Radiomics Method: Which Imaging Modality Is Better? J Magn Reson Imaging 2021; 54:526-536. [PMID: 33622022 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.27575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Revised: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are both capable of predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, which modality is better is unknown. PURPOSE To intraindividually compare CT and MRI for predicting MVI in solitary HCC and investigate the added value of radiomics analyses. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. SUBJECTS Included were 402 consecutive patients with HCC (training set:validation set = 300:102). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging MRI at 3.0T and contrast-enhanced CT. ASSESSMENT CT- and MR-based radiomics signatures (RS) were constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. CT- and MR-based radiologic (R) and radiologic-radiomics (RR) models were developed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The performance of the RS/models was compared between two modalities. To investigate the added value of RS, the performance of the R models was compared with the RR models in HCC of all sizes and 2-5 cm in size. STATISTICAL TESTS Model performance was quantified by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared using the Delong test. RESULTS Histopathologic MVI was identified in 161 patients (training set:validation set = 130:31). MRI-based RS/models tended to have a marginally higher AUC than CT-based RS/models (AUCs of CT vs. MRI, P: RS, 0.801 vs. 0.804, 0.96; R model, 0.809 vs. 0.832, 0.09; RR model, 0.835 vs. 0.872, 0.54). The improvement of RR models over R models in all sizes was not significant (P = 0.21 at CT and 0.09 at MRI), whereas the improvement in 2-5 cm was significant at MRI (P < 0.05) but not at CT (P = 0.16). DATA CONCLUSION CT and MRI had a comparable predictive performance for MVI in solitary HCC. The RS of MRI only had significant added value for predicting MVI in HCC of 2-5 cm. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the best entry region and trajectory of anterior transpedicular root screws (ATPRS). Methods: From January 2018 to May 2019, 50 cervical CT date integral of healthy people were selected from Ningbo No. 6 Hospital and were confirmed no obvious defect. Of these, 24 cases were males and 26 were females, aged 20-49 (32±5) years. The CT data was imported into Mimics by DICOM format, then 3D reconstruction was performed. In the coronal plane, the area from the centreline of the anterior of C(3-7) to the left Z-line(marked a line through the intersection of the anterior of the luschak joint and upper endplates, parallel to the centralline of the anterior of the vertebral body) was divided into nine areas. Then virtual screw with diameter of 3.5 mm was inserted. Record the length of screw of each area (L), the angle between screw and the posterior of the vertebral body in horizontal plane(α), the angle between screw and the anterior of the vertebral body in sagittal plane (β), individually. The data between groups were compared by independent sample t test. Results: The best regions were zone 9 of C(3), C(4); zone 8, 9 of C(5); zone 2-3, 5-9 of C(6); zone 1-9 of C(7) in men. And these were zone 9 of C(3); zone 3, 6, 8 and 9 of C(4), C(5); zone 2-3, 5-9 of C(6); zone 1-9 of C(7) in women. The distribution of best region was almost the same in men and women, zone 9 of each segment was the best region, and the screw length was the longest. It increased gradually from C(3) to C(7). C(3) had the least region, C(4) and C(5) had less, while C(6) and C(7) had the most. The horizontal angle of C(3-7) in men and women were 44.0°-47.2°, 40.2°-45.3° in zone 1, 4 and 7, respectively; 35.1°-41.4°, 34.6°-38.7° in zone 2, 5 and 8, respectively; 30.0°-37.2°, 30.2°-34.5° in zone 3, 6 and 9, respectively; and it demonstrated a gradually decreased trend. The sagittal angle of C(3-7) in men and women was 85.3°-97.4°, 80.5°-88.9° in zone 1-3, respectively; 101.2°-113.7°, 101.0°-109.3° in zone 4-6, respectively; 116.6°-128.8°, 119.9°-125.3° in zone 7-9, respectively; and it demonstrated a gradually increased trend. There was no significant difference in the horizontal and sagittal angle between men and women (both P>0.05). Conclusions: Anterior transpedicular root screw is a feasible internal fixation technique. It has wide region and the Z-line can be used as a reference for screw placement.

Abstract
Background: We conduct a study in developing and validating two radiomics-based models to preoperatively distinguish hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (HEAML) from hepatic carcinoma (HCC) as well as focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH). Methods: Totally, preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) data of 170 patients and preoperative contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of 137 patients were enrolled in this study. Quantitative texture features and wavelet features were extracted from the regions of interest (ROIs) of each patient imaging data. Then two radiomics signatures were constructed based on CT and MRI radiomics features, respectively, using the random forest (RF) algorithm. By integrating radiomics signatures with clinical characteristics, two radiomics-based fusion models were established through multivariate linear regression and 10-fold cross-validation. Finally, two diagnostic nomograms were built to facilitate the clinical application of the fusion models. Results: The radiomics signatures based on the RF algorithm achieved the optimal predictive performance in both CT and MRI data. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) reached 0.996, 0.879, 0.999, and 0.925 for the training as well as test cohort from CT and MRI data, respectively. Then, two fusion models simultaneously integrated clinical characteristics achieved average AUCs of 0.966 (CT data) and 0.971 (MRI data) with 10-fold cross-validation. Through decision curve analysis, the fusion models were proved to be excellent models to distinguish HEAML from HCC and FNH in comparison between the clinical models and radiomics signatures. Conclusions: Two radiomics-based models derived from CT and MRI images, respectively, performed well in distinguishing HEAML from HCC and FNH and might be potential diagnostic tools to formulate individualized treatment strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To qualitatively and quantitatively assess kidney imapairment in adults with COVID-19 by analysing imaging features on non-enhanced CT (NECT) and possible correlation between renal parenchymal attenuation (RPA) and serum creatinine (SCr) levels on admission. METHODS This study was approved by the local institutional ethics committee. A total of 82 patients with COVID-19 admitted from 10/1/2020∼15/3/2020 were enrolled. RPA and perinephric fat stranding (PFS) were evaluated on NECT imaging. According to the presence of PFS, the patients were divided into two groups: Group A, 38 patients with PFS, and Group B, 44 patients without PFS. Clinical data, including age, gender, clinical classification, SCr levels, and RPA on NECT were analysed. The RPA and SCr of the two groups with COVID-19 were analysed to determine possible difference and correlation. Eighty subjects with no kidney diseases were randomly selected as control group to determine the RPA of normal kidney performed on the same CT scanner. RESULTS Mean age, male to female ratio, number of severe and critical cases, and SCr of Group A were higher than those of Group B. Both mean RPA of Group A and Group B were lower than that of control. Mean RPA of Group A was even lower than that of Group B. A significant weak negative linear correlation between RPA on NECT and SCr in COVID-19 was indicated. CONCLUSIONS Decrease in RPA on NECT was observed in patients with COVID-19 and a weak linear negative correlation with SCr levels was found. The presence of PFS suggested more severe renal impairment in COVID-19. RPA measurements and PFS could be useful in quantitative and qualitative evaluation of COVID-19 associated renal impairment on admission.

Abstract
Rotenone, a natural hydrophobic pesticide, has been reported to display anticancer activity in a variety of cancer cells. However, the mechanism of rotenone on colon cancer (CC) cell migration, invasion and metastasis is still unknown. In the present study, the cytotoxicity of rotenone on CC cells were detected by the Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay and confirmed by clone formation assay. The effects of rotenone on CC cell invasion and migration activity were determined in vitro by Transwell invasion and wound healing assays, respectively. In addition, to reveal whether rotenone affected the epithelial‑mesenchymal‑transition (EMT) process, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence assays were used to detect the expression of EMT markers. The expression levels of the key markers of the PI3K/AKT pathway after rotenone treatment alone or in combination with a PI3K/AKT signaling activator in CC were also detected by western blotting. Finally, the in vivo antitumor effects of rotenone were evaluated in a subcutaneous xenotransplant tumor model treated with an intraperitoneal injection of rotenone. The results of the present study demonstrated that rotenone treatment induced CC cell cytotoxicity and greater effects were observed with increasing concentrations and inhibited cell proliferation compared with untreated cells. In vitro cell function assays revealed that rotenone inhibited CC cell migration, invasion and EMT compared with untreated cells. Mechanically, the phosphorylation levels of AKT and mTOR were downregulated in rotenone‑treated CC cells compared with untreated cells. Additionally, AKT and mTOR phosphorylation levels were increased by the PI3K/AKT signaling activator insulin‑like growth factor 1 (IGF‑1), which was reversed by rotenone treatment. The cell function assays confirmed that the IGF‑1‑activated cell proliferation, migration and invasion were decreased by rotenone treatment. These results indicated that rotenone affected CC cell proliferation and metastatic capabilities by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, rotenone inhibited tumor growth and metastatic capability of CC, which was confirmed in a xenograft mouse model. In conclusion, the present study revealed that rotenone inhibited CC cell viability, motility, EMT and metastasis in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background The present study constructed and validated the use of contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (CT)‐based radiomics to preoperatively predict microvascular invasion (MVI) status (positive vs negative) and risk (low vs high) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods We enrolled 637 patients from two independent institutions. Patients from Institution I were randomly divided into a training cohort of 451 patients and a test cohort of 111 patients. Patients from Institution II served as an independent validation set. The LASSO algorithm was used for the selection of 798 radiomics features. Two classifiers for predicting MVI status and MVI risk were developed using multivariable logistic regression. We also performed a survival analysis to investigate the potentially prognostic value of the proposed MVI classifiers. Results The developed radiomics signature predicted MVI status with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of .780, .776, and .743 in the training, test, and independent validation cohorts, respectively. The final MVI status classifier that integrated two clinical factors (age and α‐fetoprotein level) achieved AUC of .806, .803, and .796 in the training, test, and independent validation cohorts, respectively. For MVI risk stratification, the AUCs of the radiomics signature were .746, .664, and .700 in the training, test, and independent validation cohorts, respectively, and the AUCs of the final MVI risk classifier‐integrated clinical stage were .783, .778, and .740, respectively. Survival analysis showed that our MVI status classifier significantly stratified patients for short overall survival or early tumor recurrence. Conclusions Our CT radiomics‐based models were able to predict MVI status and MVI risk of HCC and might serve as a reliable preoperative evaluation tool.

Abstract
CKB3 is a regulatory (beta) subunit of CK2. In this study Arabidopsis thaliana homozygous T-DNA mutant ckb3 was studied to understand the role of CKB3 in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. The results shown: CKB3 was expressed in all organs and the highest expression in the seeds, followed by the root. During seed germination and root growth the ckb3 mutant showed reduced sensitivity to ABA. The ckb3 mutant had more stomatal opening and increased proline accumulation and leaf water loss. The expression levels of number of genes in the ABA regulatory network had changed. This study demonstrates that CKB3 is an ABA signaling-related gene and may play a positive role in ABA signaling.

Abstract
We develop a multidimensional fluorescence imaging technique by implementing a wide-field time-gated fluorescence lifetime imaging into digital scanned laser light-sheet microscopy (FLIM-DSLM) to measure 3D fluorescence lifetime distribution in mesoscopic specimens with high resolution. This is achieved by acquiring a series of time-gated images at different relative time delays with respect of excitation pulses at different depths. The lifetime is determined for each voxel by iteratively fitting to single exponential decay. The performance of the developed system is evaluated with the measurements of a lifetime reference Rhodamine 6G solution and a subresolution fluorescent bead phantom. We also demonstrate the application performances of this system to ex vivo and in vivo imaging of Tg(kdrl:EGFP) transgenic zebrafish embryos, illustrating the lifetime differences between the GFP signal and the autofluorescence signal. The results show that FLIM-DSLM can be used for sample size up to a few millimetres and can be utilised as a powerful and robust method for biomedical research, for example as a readout of protein-protein interactions via Förster resonance energy transfer.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety and efficiency of ultrasonic bone curette used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery. Methods: As a retrospective study, we collected and analyzed the clinical data of 47 patients receiving anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery in Luohe Central Hospital from January 2014 to January 2017, there were 26 males and 21 females with a mean age of (52±9) years. According to the different surgical tools used in the process of decompression by resecting osteophytes or bone like an inverted Chinese character "" located at the posterior margin of the vertebral body, the patients were divided into two groups: ultrasonic bone curette group (group A) and traditional tools group (group B). The operating time, volume of intraoperative blood losing, complications, Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score before and after the operation and improvement rate were recorded in the two groups. The t test was used to compare the data between the two groups. Results: In group A, the operating time was (47±7) min, blood loss was (49±4) ml, 1 case experienced urinary tract infection and there was no cerebrospinal fluid leakage or spinal cord injury. In group B, the operating time was (54±12) min and the blood loss was (117±16) ml, cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 2 patients and the incision healed one-stage by local compression, hoarseness happened in 1 case and it disappeared after 2 weeks, 2 patients had swallowing discomfort and recovered in one month, no spinal cord injury occurred in this group. The operating time and blood loss in group A were lower than those in group B (t=2.691, 20.704, both P<0.05). And the incidence of complications in group A were lower than that in group B (χ(2)=4.157, P=0.041). The JOA score of group A at 3 days after surgery was improved for 39.0% when compared with that before the surgery, and it was improved for 71.6% at one year after the surgery. The JOA score in group B at 3 days after surgery was elevated for 38.7% from that before the surgery, and it increased for 69.4% at one year after the surgery. There was no significant different in JOA score before the surgery, 3 days and one year after the surgery between the two groups (t=0.611, 1.076, 0.061, all P>0.05). Conclusion: In the process of decompression by resecting osteophytes or bone located at the posterior margin of the vertebral body in the anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery, ultrasonic bone curette is safe and effective, and it can effectively shorten the operating time, decrease the blood loss and cut down the incidence of complications.

Abstract
Background: A rapid and reliable method to predict significant early hematoma growth in the acute setting is of great important to better inform clinicians and researchers in their efforts to improve outcomes for patients. Methods: We established a 10-point score system to predict hematoma growth including four parameters: baseline intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volume > 30 mL, time to initial CT scan ≤ 3 h, island sign and black hole sign. Then, we reviewed our ICH database and assessed the predict value of the score system. Results: A total of 216 ICH patients were included. Patients with hematoma growth at 24 h had higher score than those without hematoma growth (7.6 ± 3.0 vs. 2.0 ± 2.4, p < 0.001). The optimal cut-off value of the score for predicting hematoma growth was 3 (area under curve, 0.937; 95% CI, 0.899–0.975, p < 0.001), with 95% CI of 0.896–0.965 in bootstrapping analysis. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive and negative predictive value of the score ≥ 3 for predicting hematoma growth were 97.8, 92.7, 90.9, and 98.3%. Conclusion: The 10-point score system could predict hematoma growth with high accuracy.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2019; 186:109753.

Abstract
Nitrite is a common toxic substance in culture systems of Litopenaeus vannamei, and the stress may disturb hemocyanin synthesis and energy metabolism and result in shrimp death. In the present study, nitrite at concentrations of 0 (control), 3.3 (46.2 NO2-N mg/L), 6.6 (92.4) and 9.9 mM (138.6) was used to evaluate the responses of hemocyanin level and energy metabolism in L. vannamei (5.80 ± 0.44 cm, 1.88 ± 0.38 g) for 96 h. The mortality rate at 96 h increased with nitrite concentration (50% at 9.9 mM, 40% at 6.6 mM, 30% at 3.3 mM, and 10% at 0 mM). In general, HIF-1α and hemocyanin mRNA expression in the nitrite stress groups was upregulated from 6 to 12 h and downregulated from 24 to 96 h. In the hemolymph, nitrite levels were significantly elevated in a dose-dependent manner, and exposure to nitrite stress significantly decreased the oxyhemocyanin content from 24 to 96 h. The glucose and lactate levels in the hemolymph in the nitrite stress groups were higher than those in the control group from 12 to 96 h. Compared with the control group, the shrimp in the nitrite stress groups exhibited decreased glycogen concentrations in the hepatopancreas. The triglyceride (TG) levels in the nitrite stress groups were all higher than those in the control group from 48 to 96 h. The hexokinase (HK) activity in the hepatopancreas and muscle increased in the nitrite stress groups from 48 to 96 h. In general, nitrite stress enhanced the activities of pyruvate kinase (PK), phosphofructokinase (PFK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in muscle from 24 to 96 h. In addition, nitrite stress decreased the activities of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) from 24 to 96 h in the hepatopancreas and muscle. This study indicates that exposure to nitrite stress can enhance the accumulation of nitrite in the hemolymph and then reduce oxygenation and hemocyanin synthesis, leading to tissue hypoxia and thereby resulting in accelerated anaerobic metabolism and the inhibition of aerobic metabolism. The effects of nitrite stress on hemocyanin synthesis and energy metabolism may be one of the reasons for the mortality of L. vannamei in culture systems.

Abstract
1. Prolactin hormone (governed by the PRL gene) is secreted by the anterior pituitary of animals, which combines with its receptor (prolactin receptor, PRLR) to act on target cells. Both PRL and PRLR are mainly associated with reproductive performance. The genetic mechanism of nesting in poultry is not yet clear, and so the aim of the current study was to determine expression patterns of PRL and PRLR at different times across the breeding stages of black Muscovy ducks.2. In this study, the CDS regions of PRL and PRLR were determined by RACE sequencing. The expression levels of PRL and PRLR in the pituitary, ovary and uterus from the black Muscovy duck were compared and analysed during the pre-laying, laying and nesting periods.3. The results showed that PRL and PRLR are highly homologous in a variety of poultry species. The expression of the PRL gene in the pituitary was the highest, which was significantly higher than seen in the ovary and uterus. This trend ran through the entire prenatal period, i.e. the laying period and the nesting period. The expression level of the PRLR gene in the pituitary and ovary was generally low, and expression in the uterus was the highest. There was no significant difference in expression of the PRLR gene between pituitary and ovary during different periods, but the expression level of the PRLR gene in the uterus reached its highest level during the nesting stage, which was significantly higher than seen in the early laying period.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety profiles of tiotropium/olodaterol with the mono-components in Chinese and total study population from TONADO trial. Methods: In the replicate, double-blind, parallel-group, active-controlled, randomized, 52-week, Phase Ⅲ TONADO studies (TONADO 1+2), patients received tiotropium/olodaterol, tiotropium, or olodaterol via the Respimat(®) Inhaler (Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany). Primary end points were forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) area under the curve from 0 to 3 hours (AUC(0-3h)) response and trough FEV(1) response, and St George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) total score at 24 weeks. Adverse events were also collected. This subgroup analysis only focused on the efficacy and safety of the drug at the approved dose in China. Results: 548 Chinese patients were randomized, aged 41 to 82 years [mean age, (63±8) years] and most were male (526, 96%), 111 received tiotropium/olodaterol 5/5 μg, and 127 received tiotropium 5 μg and 95 received olodaterol 5 μg. The baseline characteristics of these groups were similar. After 24 weeks, treatment with tiotropium/olodaterol 5/5 μg, tiotropium 5 μg and olodaterol 5 μg resulted in an adjusted mean FEV(1) AUC(0-3h) response of 0.240, 0.157 and 0.079 L, and trough FEV(1) response of 0.117, 0.068 and-0.001 L, respectively. Tiotropium/olodaterol 5/5 μg significantly improved SGRQ scores in Chinese patients compared with olodaterol 5 μg (32.729 and 37.202, respectively). Generally, the safety profile of tiotropium/olodaterol was comparable with mono-components in 52 weeks. Conclusion: Compared with tiotropium or olodaterol, tiotropium/olodaterol in Chinese patients provided significant improvement in lung function and quality of life, and the safety profiles were similar.
