1. IntroductionSteel plate shear walls, as an innovative lateral-load-resisting structural system, are capable of assuming a substantial proportion of lateral loads within a structure. They effectively augment the initial lateral rigidity and horizontal load-bearing capacity of the structure. Functioning as a primary defense mechanism, these shear walls preclude damage to the main structural frame by intercepting and absorbing lateral forces prior to their impact [1,2,3,4,5].

AbstractTo evaluate the relationship between factors of metastatic intraparotid lymph node (IPLN) and distant metastasis in parotid adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Patients with surgically treated parotid ACC were retrospectively enrolled, and primary outcome variable was distant metastasis free survival (DMFS). The effect of factors of metastatic IPLN on DMFS was evaluated using Cox model. In total, 232 patients were included.
