ABSTRACT

Prostate cancer is one of the most common male malignancies in many parts of the world and also the fifth leading cause of cancer death among men worldwide.At present,the commonly used clinical screening methods for prostate cancer are serum prostate-specific antigen(PSA)and transrectal ultrasound guided puncture biopsy.However,the above two diagnostic methods have some related problems such as over-diagnosis caused by false negative and false positive.Metabolomics is an important component of systems biol-ogy,which recognizes minor changes in certain molecular metabolites during tumorigenesis and development.This article reviewed how to use the method of metabolomics to find the metabolites of the three major sub-stances in the patients with prostate cancer and the changes of related metabolic pathways to provide the new ideas for the clinical diagnosis of prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the marking method for magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (MCCG) pictures with artificial intelligence (AI), so as to improve the work efficiency of endoscopist and to reduce the blind area of AI image reading.Methods:According to the consensus of MCCG, 24 parts of stomach in 14 775 pictures of MCCG from 35 subjects in Shenzhen Zifu Medical Technology Co., Ltd received MCCG from March to August, 2020 were marked by ten gastroenterologists and one developer of MCCG with medical background, the marking shape included rectangles and polygons. Among the ten gastroenterologists, three were senior endoscopist (the total number of gastroenteroscopy operations over 80 000, chief physician or associate chief physician), four were medium seniority endoscopist (the total number of gastroenteroscopy operations between 10 000 and 80 000, associate chief physician), and three were junior endoscopist (the total number of gastroenteroscopy operations less than 10 000, attending physician). The pictures of the same subject were pre-marked by two selected senior endoscopists with blind method, and the standard of marking with most appropriate coincidence rate was determined. The qualified marked pictures were automatically learn with AI deep learning method, and the learning results were fed back. Chi square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:According to the pre-marked results, the standard of coincidence rate for rectangular marking area was set as 50.0% and that for polygon marking area was 70.0%. The first correction for qualified rate was 39.0% (5 762/14 775). A total of 9 013 pictures were corrected. After repeated training and correction for one to five times, all pictures were qualified marked. The marking qualified rate of senior endoscopist partners was higher than that of partners of different qualifications (48.7%, 1 200/2 466 vs. 19.0%, 825/4 337), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=659.20, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the marking qualified rate between the senior endoscopist partners and partners of senior endoscopist and capsule developer (48.7%, 1 200/2 466 vs. 49.6%, 1 496/3 019; P>0.05). Conclusions:Establishment of AI marking method for MCCG can provide technical support for AI non-blind area reading, and AI non-blind area monitoring during the operation of MCCG.

ABSTRACT

To explore the differences in biological characteristics for the small gastrointestinal stromal tumors and the incidence of complications and recurrence between the traditional surgical treatment and endoscopic treatment.
 Methods: We collected the relevant clinical and pathological data from patients who were diagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors with the diameter less than 2 cm by the Department of Pathology of Xiangya Hospital from January 2009 to December 2015. The complications and recurrence after the surgical treatment were analyzed.
 Results: In patients with small gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the proportion of female was higher than that of male (male:female=1:1.69). The median age for patient with this disease was 49 years old and it was more common in middle-aged and elderly. Most lesions were found in the stomach, followed by the esophagus and the small intestine. The small gastrointestinal stromal tumors occurred in the colon and rectum were rare. There was 60.3% (47/78) patients with abdominal pain, 7.7% (6/78) patients with hematochezia or melena, and 98.7% (78/79) with small gastrointestinal stromal tumors' mitotic count ≤5/50 HPF. The positive rates for CD, CD34, DOG-1, actin-smooth, and S-100 were 98.7%, 86.1%, 82.3%, 31.6%, and 24.1%, respectively. Three patients occurred surgical complications, 2 suffered recurrence during the follow-up. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and recurrence between the traditional surgical treatment and endoscopic treatment (P>0.05).
 Conclusion: Small gastrointestinal stromal tumors' malignant potential is low, and the recurrence and metastasis rate is low. Its biological behavior tends to be benign. The traditional surgical treatment and endoscopic treatment are both safe and effective for small gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Endoscopic treatment has the advantages in lower cost, shorter hospitalization time, and small trauma. Therefore, endoscopic treatment could be the first choice for small GIST resection under the condition of mature endoscopic technology.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of double-balloon dilation in percutaneous kyphoplasty for severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in the elderly. Methods Sixty patients with severe OVCF were randomly divided into two groups, a double- and a single-balloon dilatation group,with 30 cases in each group. Regular follow-up was conducted at 3,6,and 12 months after operation. The operation time,blood loss volume,bone cement injection rate,and bone cement leakage rate were recorded. The visual analog score (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI),vertebral anterior height,and kyphosis Cobb angle were used to evaluate efficacy. Results No significant differences in operation time and bleeding volume were found between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). The amount of bone cement injection in the double-balloon dilatation group was more than that in the single-balloon dilatation group (P < 0.05). The bone cement leakage rate was lower in the double-balloon dilatation group,but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). No significant differences in VAS score and ODI were found between the 2 groups at 1 day and 3,6,and 12 months after operation (P >0.05),but with significant differences in the anterior vertebral height and kyphosis Cobb angle (P < 0.05). During the follow-up,2 cases of complication occurred in the double-balloon dilatation group,but 6 cases of complication occurred in the single-balloon dilatation group. Conclusion Double-balloon dilation in percutaneous kyphoplasty for elderly patients with severe OVCF can effectively alleviate clinical symptoms and reduce complications,which is an effective method for the treatment of severe OVCF.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the application value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue-tracking (CMR-TT) in the quantitative assessment of global and segmental myocardial strain after myocardial infarction.@*Methods@#From June 2013 to June 2017, 45 patients with chronic myocardial infarction from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University and eighteen normal volunteers as a control group were included in our research. All participants received CMR examination on a 3.0 T MRI scanner. Imaging protocol including FIESTA cine sequence (left ventricle short-axis planes, four chamber and two chamber long-axis planes) and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). CMR-TT was undertaken using cvi 42 dedicated commercial software, global peak systolic circumferential, longitudinal, radial strains (GPCS, GPLS, GPRS) and segmental peak systolic circumferential, longitudinal, radial strains (PCS, PLS, PRS) in accordance with the American Heart Association's sixteen segment model were all derived. All segments were divided into five groups according to transmural extent expressed as enhanced area per segment: 0% as non-LGE segments group, 1 %-25 % as mild LGE segments group, 26%-50 % as moderate LGE segments group, 51%-75% as severe LGE segments group and >75% as complete LGE segments group. Two-independent samples t-test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used, respectively, to compare means of 2 and 3 or more groups of continuous variables. Variables with normal distribution were presented as ±s, non-normal variables were reported as median (interquartile range).@*Results@#Patients showed significant lower GPRS, GPCS and GPLS than the control group (15.13%±8.18%, -8.25%±3.23%, -7.11%±2.41% versus 32.41%±12.99%, -14.92%±3.32%, -11.50%±2.51%). PRS, PCS and PLS statistically significantly decreased with increasing extent of myocardial enhancement (t=-6.35,7.33,6.44, P<0.001).Segmental peak systolic strains of five groups were:PRS:24.87% (10.95%,39.02%), 13.26%(5.94%,24.24)%, 9.47%(4.01%,18.40%), 5.98%(-3.74%,11.86%), -2.65%(-6.62%,8.59%), respectively; PCS: -11.84%±5.34%, -8.60%±5.48%, -7.32%±5.59%, -5.30%±5.52%, -2.74%±5.24%, respectively; PLS: -9.47%±6.82%, -7.72%±6.22%, -7.07%±6.49%, -5.55%±5.95%, -3.54%±5.44%, respectively. The differences in the groups were statistically significant (H=164.47,166.61, 59.06, P<0.001). GPRS was positively correlated with LVEF(r=0.543, P<0.001), while GPCS and GPLS were both negatively associated with LVEF (r=-0.654, P<0.001; r=-0.682, P<0.001, respectively).@*Conclusions@#CMR-TT can quantitatively assess the severity of myocardial infarction accurately and reliably.Strain parameters have a good correlation with cardiac function indexes, this may be helpful in the recognition of left ventricular remodel after MI.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) by MR first-pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement. Methods From January 2011 to May 2015, 47 cases with HCM (HCM group) from the second affiliated hospital of Nanchang University were retrospectively analyzed. Additionally, 21 healthy volunteers were recruited as the control group. HCM group and control group underwent cardiac MR examinations at rest, including short axial cine, first-pass myocardial perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement scanning. Time to peak(tpeak), maximal upslope of time-intensity curve(Slopemax), peak signal intensity(SIpeak), myocardial thickening, and late myocardial gadolinium enhancement(LGE) were assessed for each myocardial segment. HCM group were divided into LGE segments group and non-LGE segments group. LGE segments group were divided into mild, moderate and severe LGE segments group. The SIpeak, Slopemax and tpeak in multiple groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test. Spearman correlation tests were used to determine the relationships between perfusion parameter and LGE. Results The average values of tpeak in non-LGE segments group (527 segments), LGE segments group (225 segments) and control group (336 segments) were (67.0 ± 27.4), (79.4 ± 27.4), (59.7 ± 21.6)s, respectively. The average values of Slopemax in the three groups were 17.2±7.0, 16.4±7.4, 20.4±6.3, respectively. The average values of SIpeak in the three groups were 442.7 ± 143.2, 465.1 ± 138.4, 521.9 ± 146.7, respectively. Compared to the control group, tpeak increased and Slopemax, SIpeak decreased in non-LGE segments group and LGE segments group (P0.05). There were significant differences among LGE segments groups, as the tpeak and SIpeak increased with increasing degrees of myocardial LGE (P0.05). The degree of LGE were positively correlated with tpeak (r=0.237, P<0.01). Conclusions 3.0 T magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging can show microvascular dysfunction accurately and reliably in non-LGE segments. It may be helpful in the early diagnosis of coronary microvascular dysfunction for HCM.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the inhibitive effects of exogenous carbon monoxide-releasing molecules 2 (CORM-2) on expression of tissue factor (TF) in sepsis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured with trypsin digestion method, which were divided into NC group (with normal treatment), LPS group (with culture of 10 microg/mL LPS), LD group (with 10 microg/mL LPS and DMSO in co-culture), LC1 group (with 10 microg/mL LPS and 10 micromol/L CORM-2 in co-culture), LC2 group (with 10 microg/mL LPS and 50 micromol/L CORM-2 in co-culture), LC3 group (with 10 microg/mL LPS and 100 micromol/L CORM-2 in co-culture). After culture for 4 hours, TF activity, TF protein expression, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activity were examined. Forty-five C57 BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into NC (without treatment, n = 5), CLP (n = 5) and CLP + CORM-2 (with treatment of 8 mg/kg CROM-2 after CLP, n = 5) groups. The serum samples in CLP, CLP + CORM-2 groups were collected at 2, 6, 12 and 24 post operation hour ( POH, 5 mice at each time point) for determination of TF and TFPI levels,which were also examined in NC group.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with those of NC group, TF activity increased (P < 0.01) , TF protein expression and NF-KB activity also increased in LPS group. Compared with those of LPS group, above indices were decreased in LC1, LC2, LC3 groups. The serum level of TF in CLP group at 6 POH was higher than that of NC group (80.0 +/- 11.9 pg/mL vs 58.4 +/- 6.9 pg/mL, P < 0.05), peaked at 12 POH, and still higher than that of NC group at 24 POH, while the serum level of TFPI showed no obvious difference in NC and CLP groups. Compared with that of NC group, TFPI levels obviously increased in CLP + CORM-2 group at 6, 12 POH (23.7 +/-3.5 ng/mL, 24.4 +/- 5.0 ng/mL vs 12.4 +/- 2.8 ng/mL, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Exogenous CORM can obviously inhibit TF and NF-KB activity,decrease TF protein expression. Meanwhile, it can also decrease serum level of TF, and increase serum level of TFPI, preventing activation of procoagulant system, balancing procoagulant and anticoagulant system in sepsis.</p>

ABSTRACT

The roles of protein kinase C (PKC) signal pathway in the pathogenesis of obstructive jaundice were studied. PKC from cytosolic and membrane fractions of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in 51 patients with obstructive jaundice and 16 cases of normal controls was isolated and purified. The activities of PKC were determined by radioactive isotope γ-32P-ATP-catalyzing assay. The results showed that the total PKC activities in PBL in the patients with obstructive jaundice were significantly increased as compared with those in the normal controls (P<0.01). Moreover, the membrane PKC activities and their percentages of the total PKC activities were higher in obstructive jaundice group than in those in the normal controls (P<0.05). The total PKC activities in PBL in the patients with obstructive jaundice were significantly positively correlated with the levels of soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) (r=0.58, P<0.01) and the degree of jaundice (T-BIL) (r=0.67, P<0.01) in serum. It was concluded that the activities of PKC signal pathway was related with the degree of T-BIL. PKC signal pathway might took part in the activation of T-lymphocytes in the patients with obstructive jaundice and play an important role in the immune regulation and the assessment of pathosis in the patients with obstructive jaundice.
