Objective: In this pictorial essay, we described the clinical, pathologic, and computed tomographic (CT) findings of malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (MGISTs) and attempt to establish the correlation between radiologic appearance and malignant potential. Methods: This retrospective analysis included 20 patients receiving treatment for MGIST between 2008 and 2010. The diagnosis was established by pathology and immunohistochemistry. All these patients underwent preoperative CT. Clinical presentation, pathology and CT images were analyzed. Helical CT images were reviewed for morphologic features such as tumor size, number and location, tumor margins, necrosis, degree of enhancement and metastasis. Results: Gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain and discomfort, and without clinical symptom were common findings and were observed in 9 (45%), 6 (30%), and 5 (25%) of the 20 patients. 8 (40%) tumors were located in stomach, and 10 (50%), 1 (5%) and 1 (5%) were located in small intestine, mesentery and peritoneum, respectively. Male to female ratio was about 1:2. The size of MGIST ranged from 2.6 cm to 17.5 cm with a mean of 8.7 cm. All tumors density was inhomogeneous and heterogeneous enhancement. MGISTs with highly malignant located in small intestine were about 30% higher than stomach. The "satellite" tumours were found in 6 cases with high malignant risk. 7 cases were suffered from liver metastasis, and 4 cases went with seeding into the abdominal cavity, 1 cases went with lymph node metastasis. Histologically, 19 cases (95%) were of spindle cell type. Immunohistochemical stains demonstrated a strong positivity for both c-kit (CD117) and CD34s enhancement in 19 (95%). Conclusion: Clinical expression is varied in MGIST patients. Female might be predominance in MGIST. The GISTs located in small intestine would tend to be more aggressive. The satellite tumours, necrosis and cystic degeneration were strongly benefit for MGIST diagnosis. Furthermore, intestinal obstruction doesn't support the diagnosis. Lymph n
The quantum security of lightweight block ciphers is receiving more and more attention.However,the existing quantum attacks on lightweight block ciphers only focused on the quantum exhaustive search,while the quantum attacks combined with classical cryptanalysis methods haven’t been well studied.In this paper,we study quantum key recovery attack on SIMON32/64 using Quantum Amplitude Amplification algorithm in Q1 model.At first,we reanalyze the quantum circuit complexity of quantum exhaustive search on SIMON32/64.We estimate the Clifford gates count more accurately and reduce the T gate count.Also,the T-depth and full depth is reduced due to our minor modifications.Then,using four differentials given by Biryukov in FSE 2014 as our distinguisher,we give our quantum key recovery attack on 19-round SIMON32/64.We treat the two phases of key recovery attack as two QAA instances separately,and the first QAA instance consists of four sub-QAA instances.Then,we design the quantum circuit of these two QAA instances and estimate their corresponding quantum circuit complexity.We conclude that the quantum circuit of our quantum key recovery attack is lower than quantum exhaustive search.Our work firstly studies the quantum dedicated attack on SIMON32/64.And this is the first work to study the complexity of quantum dedicated attacks from the perspective of quantum circuit complexity,which is a more fine-grained analysis of quantum dedicated attacks’complexity.
A rare earth Schiff base complex:lanthanum tris(N-phenylethyl-3,5-di-t-butylsalicylaldiminato)s [La(OPEBS)_3] was successfully applied as single component initiator for the ring-opening polymerization of 1,4-dioxan-2-one (PDO) in bulk.The influence of reaction conditions,such as polymerization temperature,the molar ratio of the monomer to initiator (M/I) on the monomer conversion and molecular weight of the polymer has been investigated.Poly(1,4-dioxan-2-one) with a viscosity-average molecular weight (My...
