ABSTRACT

Cancer cell membrane (CCM) derived nanotechnology functionalizes nanoparticles (NPs) to recognize homologous cells, exhibiting translational potential in accurate tumor therapy. However, these nanoplatforms are majorly generated from fixed cell lines and are typically evaluated in cell line-derived subcutaneous-xenografts (CDX), ignoring the tumor heterogeneity and differentiation from inter- and intra- individuals and microenvironments between heterotopic- and orthotopic-tumors, limiting the therapeutic efficiency of such nanoplatforms. Herein, various biomimetic nanoplatforms (CCM-modified gold@Carbon, i.e., Au@C-CCM) were fabricated by coating CCMs of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines and patient-derived cells on the surface of Au@C NP. The generated Au@C-CCMs were evaluated on corresponding CDX, tongue orthotopic xenograft (TOX), immune-competent primary and distant tumor models, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The Au@C-CCM generates a photothermal conversion efficiency up to 44.2% for primary HNSCC therapy and induced immunotherapy to inhibit metastasis via photothermal therapy-induced immunogenic cell death. The homologous CCM endowed the nanoplatforms with optimal targeting properties for the highest therapeutic efficiency, far above those with mismatched CCMs, resulting in distinct tumor ablation and tumor growth inhibition in all four models. This work reinforces the feasibility of biomimetic NPs combining modular designed CMs and functional cores for customized treatment of HNSCC, can be further extended to other malignant tumors therapy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the value of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics features of multi-parameter MRI in evaluation of the status of human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 in breast cancer.Methods:The clinical, pathological and imaging data of 340 patients with pathologically confirmed breast cancer in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from September 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. All patients were female, 48 (42, 55) years old. All patients underwent multi-parameter breast MRI before surgery, including dynamic contrast-enhanced T 1WI (DCE-T 1WI), fat-suppressed T 2WI (T 2WI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The region of interest (ROI) for lesions were manually delineated and the segmented ROIs were zoomed in ring shape by 4 mm to acquire ROI intra and ROI prei, respectively. Then six sets of radiomics features were extracted from ROI intra and ROI prei of DCE-T 1WI, T 2WI and DWI. The cases were divided into a training set (272 cases) and a test set (68 cases) by stratified sampling at a ratio of 4∶1. The Mann-Whitney U test, Select K Best and minimum absolute contraction and selection operator were used for feature selection of the 6 sets of radiomics features. The feature subsets after reduction were used to construct independent and combined radiomics signatures with support vector machine algorithm to predict the HER2 status of breast cancer. Receiver operating characteristic curve was generated and area under curve (AUC) was calculated to compare the prediction performance of different models. Results:Of the 340 patients, 80 were HER2-positive and 260 were HER2-negative. Among the radiomics signatures based on single sequence, the DWI peri showed the best performance in predicting HER2 status of breast cancer, with an AUC of 0.678 for the test set. Among the combination of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics signatures based on same sequence, the DWI intra+DWI peri had the highest prediction value, achieving an AUC of 0.774 for the testing set. Among the intratumoral or peritumoral radiomics signatures derived from two different sequences, the DCE-T 1WI intra+DWI intra and T 2WI peri+DWI peri showed the best predictive performance, yielding AUC of 0.766 and 0.769 in the testing set, respectively. Among the combination of intratumoral or peritumoral radiomics signatures derived from all 3 sequences or combinations of all features, the DCE-T 1WI intra+T 2WI intra+DWI intra+DCE-T 1WI peri+T 2WI peri+DWI peri obtained the highest prediction efficiency, with an AUC of 0.913 for the testing set. Conclusion:The radiomics features of intratumoral and peritumoral regions based on multi-parameter MRI have a certain value in non-invasive evaluation of HER2 status of breast cancer, which can help clinicians to provide scientific basis for decision-making of targeted therapy in patients with breast cancer.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the detection and segmentation of ischemic core infarct volume of the acute stroke in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) images using cascaded VB-Net.Methods:MRI data of 1 500 patients (2 456 lesions) with acute ischemic stroke in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from December 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Firstly, manual segmentation of ischemic core was performed on DWI images (b=1 000 s/mm 2), and then all data were divided into training set, validation set and independent test set by 8∶1∶1. Then, the cascaded VB-Net was constructed, and the core infarct was automatically detected and segmented in the test set. Interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the consistency of volume size measured by manual segmentation and cascaded VB-Net. The patients were divided into large ischemic core lesion group (ischemic core volume ≥10 ml) and small ischemic core lesion group (ischemic core volume<10 ml), and the Dice coefficient difference between the two groups was compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Results:In independent test set, cascaded model had the detection rate of 94.6% (243/257) with Dice coefficient of 0.76 (0.68, 0.84). The agreement of cacade VB-Net segmented [4.19(1.21,14.13)ml] and manual segmented ischemic core infarct volume [4.08(1.19,17.92)ml] was high (ICC=0.97, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in Dice coefficient between large and small lesion groups [0.76 (0.69, 0.85), 0.76 (0.67, 0.84), Z=-0.44, P=0.657]. Conclusions:The cascaded VB-Net model provided a tool to realize automatic detection, segmentation, and calculation of ischemic core infarct volume. It has good segmentation accuracy and high consistency with manual segmentation, which can provide an auxiliary decision-making tool for the selection of treatment plans.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the MRI and pathological features of intramuscular fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 44 patients with intramuscular FAVA confirmed by pathology from December 2012 to March 2021 in Henan Province People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-five females and 19 males were included, with the age of (15±6), from 5 to 29 years old. The clinical and MRI features including the type, location, boundary, signal intensity, enhancement mode and degree, and the vascular flow voids in the lesion were summarized and compared with pathological results.Results:The thigh and calf muscles were involved in 1 patient simultaneously, and 1 site was involved in 43 patients, including 20 calf muscles, 15 thigh muscles, 5 forearm muscles, 1 upper arm muscle, 1 gluteal muscle, and 1 shoulder muscle. The gastrocnemius muscle of lower leg was most commonly involved (13/44), followed by soleus muscle (10/44) and quadriceps femoris muscle (9/44). All the lesions were solid on MRI, including 24 cases of focal mass type, 15 cases of diffuse infiltration type and 5 cases of local infiltration type. The long axis of all the lesions were consistent with the long axis of the muscles. All lesions showed inhomogeneously moderate hyperintensity on T 1WI and T 2WI, and significantly hyperintensity on fat suppression T 2WI. All lesions showed tortuous and dilated abnormal vessels, of which 18 cases showed vascular flow voids. Thrombosis was found in 10 cases. On contrast-enhanced imaging, the lesions showed moderate to obvious inhomogeneous enhancement. Pathologically, the diseased skeletal muscle was infiltrated by fibrous tissue, fat components, irregular abnormal veins and vessels, which led to inhomogeneous MRI signals. Among the 7 patients who underwent human PIK3CA gene mutation detection, and 6 were mutant. Conclusions:Intramuscular FAVA has certain characteristics in clinic, MRI imaging and histopathology, and its MRI signal characteristics can reflect its complex pathological components.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the advantages of the impact of physical activity management under medical supervision on body components and healthy physical fitness.Methods:A total of 106 healthy adults who participated in physical activity management activities in the Health Management Center of Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital from April 1 st 2020 to May 31 th 2021 were enrolled. The subjects were equally divided into a medical supervision group and a self-supervision group with random number table. Both groups performed a 8-week physical activity intervention, followed by the model of “a combination of online home physical activity with offline team exercise, and team exercise interaction with individual physical activity guidance”, while health education was provided and wearable devices were worn to collect exercise data. The medical supervision group completed the set number of exercises under the supervision of the team, with on-site exercise guidance. They were required to participate in weekly one-to-one on-site instruction. The self-management group carried out exercises and participated in weekly one-to-one instruction in accordance according to their own will with online feedback. During the study, 6 cases withdrew, and 52 cases in the supervision group and 48 in the self-management group were obtained. The t and Wilcoxon tests were used to compare the body components and physical fitness of the two groups before and after intervention. Results:The amount of exercise in the supervision group was significantly higher than that in self-management group (1 359 vs 615), and there was no significant differences in exercise intensity (mean heart rate, maximum heart rate and exercise duration) between the two groups (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the body weight, body mass index (BMI), percent body fat, subcutaneous fat area and strength fitness of the supervision group were significantly lower than those before the intervention [(55.36±6.37) vs (56.11±6.33) kg, (21.48±2.85) vs (21.73±2.47) kg/m 2, (27.38±5.34) % vs (28.53±4.99) %, (119.56±48.45) vs (128.70±50.10) cm 2, (24.48±6.37) vs (26.07±5.29) kg], while the cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility fitness and agility fitness were significantly higher [(33.57±5.06) vs (30.32±4.59) ml·kg -1·min -1, (14.71±7.51) vs (10.54±7.54) cm, (0.44±0.08) vs (0.48±0.05) s] (all P<0.05). After the intervention, the body weight, muscle mass and lean body mass in self-management group were all significantly higher than those before the intervention [(56.83±8.09) vs (56.45±8.22) kg, (38.28±3.19) vs (38.24±5.17) kg; (40.80±4.16) vs (40.32±4.95) kg], and agility fitness was significantly lower [(0.64±0.39) vs (0.49±0.05) s] (all P<0.05). It was also found that improvements regarding the following three indicators were more significant in the supervision group: visceral fat, balance and agility fitness (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Physical activity intervention under medical supervision can significantly improve the body components and physical fitness in healthy adults, as well as exercise compliance and validity.

ABSTRACT

In order to clean the endoscopic tube more effectively, a new double-headed endoscopic cleaning brush was used in this study. A total of 130 colonoscopies were selected from the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from June 2019 to August 2020. The colonoscopy cleaning sequence was marked with odd and even number. Colonoscopies marked with the odd number were assigned to the conventional group ( n=65) which received back and forth cleaning with the single-headed endoscope cleaning brush. Colonoscopies marked with the even number were assigned to the experimental group ( n=65) which received one-way cleaning with a nylon brush at the head and a dense non-woven brush at the tail. The cleaning methods for endoscopes were in accordance with Flexible Endoscopic Cleaning and Disinfection Technical Specification WS507—2016. ATP bioluminescence tests and bacterial quantitative cultures were applied to evaluate the cleaning effects of the two methods. The results showed that ATP relative light unit (RLU) decreased in both the experimental group and the conventional group [530.63 RLU (26-3 559 RLU) VS 270.87 RLU (20-1 415 RLU)] before and after cleaning the endoscope tube, showing significant difference between the two groups ( Z=-2.894, P<0.05). After scrubbing, the positive rate of bacterial culture on the brush head was 86.2% (56/65) for the double-headed non-woven brush head, 46.2% (30/65) for the double-headed nylon brush head and 32.3% (21/65) for the single-headed nylon brush head with significant differences among the three groups ( χ 2=41.046, P<0.05). The cleaning effect of the new double-headed endoscopic cleaning brush is better than that of the conventional single-headed endoscopic cleaning brush for soft endoscope cleaning. Non-woven brush is better than nylon brush in eliminating bacteria.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective In order to improve the clinicians’ awareness of stroke mimics and to avoid inappropriate therapy,we described the clinical data of 3 patients with stroke mimics and reviewed the literature.Methods We retrospectively gave a description of the medical history,clinical manifestations,imaging data and treatments of three typical cases of stroke mimics from January 2017 to September 2018 in our hospital.Results Case1 The patient complained of inability to speak in the morning and weakness of the right limbs for several hours. Head CT showed old lacunar infarctions.The primary diagnosis was acute ischemic stroke(AIS). The patient developed with fever and seizures during the following days. The diagnosis of intracranial subdural empyema was confirmed by head MRI and further surgery was performed. The reason why we didn’t make the right diagnosis was that the resident didn’t ask the medical history in detail and we didn’t check the head MRI in time.Case 2 We describe a 70-year-old man who presented to our emergency department(ED)with acute onset of left arm soreness and left leg weakness for 5 hours. The AIS was considered. The patient was admitted to the ward and we knew his first symptom was back pain which lasted about few minutes. Spinal cord MRI revealed spinal epidural hematoma. Acute spinal epidural hematoma rarely presents with unilateral weakness of the limbs,mimicking a stroke. Because inappropriate thrombolysis can lead to devastating symptoms,spinal epidural hematoma should be excluded when evaluating an acute stroke patient with a symptom of pain who is a possible candidate for thrombolytic therapy. Case3 The patient admitted to the ward with a seizure,speech disorder and right limbs paralysis for more than 20 hours. The patient’s head MR angiography showed severe stenosis of the left middle cerebral artery. The diagnosis of AIS was made. But the two head MRI being negative for acute ischemic lesion and three dimensional arterial spin-labeled brain perfusion MRI was normal. The diagnosis of AIS was wavering. Within 5 days from the admission,there was almost a complete remission of the neurological findings. The electroencephalogram examination revealed focal abnormalities and Todd’s paralysis was finally confirmed. The neurological deficits during the postictal seizure phase are usually short lasting,but they may last up to days after the convulsion.Conclusion Stroke mimics term is applied in a clinical evaluation,describing those non-vascular conditions that simulate stroke,namely those presenting with an acute neurological deficit.Careful clinical assessment (clinical history and neurological examination)in association with laboratory evaluation is important for depicting the stroke mimics. Brain imaging is essential for the correct diagnosis of AIS and stroke mimic exclusion. With the use of the clinical,laboratory data and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation,the misdiagnosis incidence of stroke mimics will decline to lower degree.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the value of radiomics features extracted from multi-parameter MRI (mp-MRI) in preoperative prediction of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non triple negative breast cancer (NTNBC).Methods:The clinical and preoperative-MRI data of 371 patients with breast cancer confirmed by surgical pathology from January 2017 to July 2019 in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the results of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) from postoperative pathological specimens, the cancer was classified as TNBC and NTNBC. Patients were randomly assigned to a training set ( n=250) and a validation set ( n=121). Quantitative radiomics features were extracted from three-dimensional lesions based on dynamic contrast enhanced-T 1WI (DCE-T 1WI) and fat-suppressed T 2WI sequences, and 32 quantitative radiomics features were selected by Mann-Whitney U test, elastic network, and support vector machine recursive feature elimination. Three radiomics signatures were constructed by using the algorithm of support vector machine based on the quantitative radiomics features extracted from fat-suppressed T 2WI, DCE-T 1WI and the mp-MRI of their combination. The prediction performances were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the ROC curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated. Results:There were 61 patients with TNBC and 310 patients with NTNBC. The clinicopathological characteristics between NTNBC and TNBC were statistically different in the pathological grade (χ2=24.544, P<0.001). Other clinicopathological characteristics (age, maximum diameter of mass, vascular tumor thrombus, axillary lymph nodes) were not statistically differences between NTNBC and TNBC ( P>0.05). The radiomics signature presenting the best performance for predictive TNBC and NTNBC were based on mp-MRI radiomics features. The area under the ROC curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.91[95% confidence interval (CI) 0.881-0.932], 86.0%, 84.4% and 86.3% in training set, and 0.84 (95%CI 0.807-0.868), 75.2%, 68.7% and 76.1%, in validation set, respectively. Conclusion:Radiomics based on mp-MRI features can be a effectively potential tool for predictive TNBC and NTNBC breast cancer and provide scientific basis for clinicians to make treatment decisions.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the dynamic changes of chest CT images of patients with corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19).@*METHODS@#Fifty-two cases of COVID-19 were admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The consecutive chest CT scans were followed up for all patients with an average of 4 scans performed per patient during the hospitalization. The shortest interval between each scan was 2 days and the longest was 7 days. The shape, number and distribution of lung shadows, as well as the characteristics of the lesions on the CT images were reviewed.@*RESULTS@#The obvious shadows infiltrating the lungs were shown on CT images in 50 cases, for other 2 cases there was no abnormal changes in the lungs during the first CT examination. Ground-glass opacities (GGO) were found in 48 cases (92.3%), and 19 cases (36.5%) had patchy consolidation and sub-consolidation, which were accompanied with air bronchi sign in 17 cases (32.7%). Forty one cases (78.8%) showed a thickened leaflet interval, 4 cases (7.6%) had a small number of fibrous stripes. During hospitalization, GGO lesions in COVID-19 patients gradually became rare, the fibrous strip shadows increased and it became the most common imaging manifestation. The lesions rapidly progressed in 39 cases (75.0%) within 6-9 days after admission. On days 10-14 of admission, the lesions distinctly resolved in 40 cases (76.9%).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The chest CT images of patients with COVID-19 have certain characteristics with dynamic changes, which are of value for monitoring disease progress and clinical treatment.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to provide a summary estimate of depression prevalence among people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in comparison to those without AS. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, the Cochrane database library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Database from their inception to December 2016. The results showed that thirty-one eligible studies involving 8,106 patients were analyzed. Fifteen methods of defining depression were reported. The overall pooled prevalence of depression was 35% (95% CI, 28–43%), with high between-study heterogeneity (I²=98.8%, p<0.001). The relative risk of depression among people with AS was 1.76 (95% CI: 1.21–2.55, eight studies, n=3,006) compared with people without AS. The depression score [standardized mean difference (SMD)=0.43, 95% CI: 0.19–0.67, seven studies, n=549] was higher in AS patients than in controls. The main influence on depression prevalence was the sample size and country of origin. In conclusion, one-third of people with AS experience symptoms of depression. Depression was more prevalent in AS patients than in controls. Further research is needed to identify effective strategies for preventing and treating depression among AS patients.

ABSTRACT

@#Stroke is the disease which caused by many risk factors.The relationship between insulin resistance(IR) and young adult stroke is one of the focuses now in the neurological field.IR refered to the series of pathological and physiological changes,it happens when the response of the target tissue organ to insulin is depressing or losing.There are many ways of detection of IR,the insulin sensitivity index(ISI) is one of the most satisfied indexes to reflect the sensitivity to insulin.IR could cause a series of pathological and physiological changes,which caused hyperinsulinemia,hyperglycemia,hyperpiesia,blood-fat derangement,fibrinolytic system anomaly,blood vessel endothelium change,artherosclerosis,et al,maybe in ways of many metabolic risk factors.Atherosclerosis is the main etiopathogenisis factor in young adult stroke,as a conclusion,IR is also existed in young adult stroke.But,does IR exist in all types of young adult stroke? What is the mechanism? Is the level of IR related with the pathogenetic condition and prognosis? These questions are still not clear at present,and the study on the relationship between IR and young adult stroke is important to prevent young adult stroke.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method for determination of von Willebrand factor propeptide (vWF-pp) in plasma and to determine the levels of plasma vWF-pp in 152 healthy volunteers, 36 patients with coronary heart disease and 38 cases of the normal control group with the same ages.Methods The levels of vWF-pp in 152 healthy volunteers with different ages and different genders and in 36 patients with coronary heart disease were determined with the sandwich enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA).Results The average level of vWF-pp in 152 healthy volunteers was 496.4?167.2 ?g/L.The level of vWF-pp in the 50~60 years old group was significantly higher than that in the less than 40 years old group (P0.05). There was significant difference between the 51~60 years old male group and the other three male groups respectively, the 16~20 years old group, the 21~30 years old group and the 31~40 years old group (P

ABSTRACT

AIM:To investigate effects of propolis-ethanol extract on platelet activity in flowing blood.METHODS: Intima-injury model was made by in vitro perfusion.Coverslips was coated by using fibrinogen and human Ⅲ type collagen to detect platelet adhesive rate when blood went through fibrinogen and collagen surface in 1 000/s shear rate.Three experimental groups were set up: negative control group(24% ethanol),experimental group(0.1 g/L,24% propolis-ethanol extract) and positive control group(0.1 g/L,ferulic acid).RESULTS: Intima-injury model was made.On fibrinogen and collagen,platelet adhesion on area of experimental group was lower than that in negative control group(P0.05).Propolis-ethanol extract decreased more obviously the platelet adhesion area on fibrinogen surface than that in collagen surface(P
