The model consists of two multi-slotted rectangular patch antennas and a three-layer breast phantom containing two tumors. A multi-slotted antenna was designed at 2.45 GHz using CST STUDIO SUITE 2018, where the simulated results showed a return loss better than -35 dB and attended more than 77 MHz bandwidth. The diagnosis approach is based on exploiting the electrical properties (frequency dependent) of breast tissues, i.e., mass density, relative permittivity, and conductivity. Once the proposed slotted antenna radiates electromagnetic signals toward the breast model (with and without tumors), the radiation properties in terms of the scattering parameters (S<sub>11</sub> and S<sub>21</sub>), the electrical field, the power flow, the current density, and the power loss density were altered. As a result, the values of these radiation parameters increased when tumors were implanted inside the breast model, informing the presence of cancerous tissues. Moreover, the specific absorption rate (SAR) was estimated as a function of input powers, where the proposed antenna showed a set of low SAR values compared to the IEEE standard of 1.6 W/kg, validating its potential use for diagnosing purposes. The simulated results indicated the prospective use of two slotted antennas (in the first instance) to detect multiple tumors which could be a challenging task using a single-element antenna, where the ultimate goal is to realize a compact antenna array to detect multi-tumors.展开更多

文摘Photoacoustic imaging,which can provide the maximum intensity contrast in tissue depth imaging without ionizing radiation,will be a promising imaging trend for tumor detection.In this paper,a column diffusionfiber was employed to carry a pulsed laser for irradiating stomach directly through esophagus based on the characteristics of gastric tissue structure.A long focused ultrasonic transducer was placed outside the body to detect photoacoustic signals of gastric tissue.Phantom and in vitro experiments of submucosal gastric tumors were carried out to check the sensitivity of scanning photoacoustic tomography system,including the lateral and longitudinal resolution of the system,sensitivity of different absorption coefficient in imaging,capability of transversal detection,and probability of longitudinal detection.The results demonstrate that our innovative technique can improve the parameters of imaging.The lateral resolution reaches 2.09 mm.Then a depth of 5.5mm with a longitudinal accuracy of 0.36mm below gastric mucosa of early gastric cancer(EGC)has been achieved.In addition,the optimal absorption coefficient differences among absorbers of system are 3.3-3.9 times.Results indicate that our photoacoustic imaging(PAI)system,is based on a long focusing transducer,can provide a potential application for detecting submucosal EGC without obvious symptoms.
文摘LncRNA HOTAIR has different expression levels in different stages of tumorigenesis and development.Therefore,it has potential application in clinical diagnosing tumor stage as a tumor marker.Fifty patients with lung cancer and fifty healthy volunteers were selected as lung cancer group and control group respectively.According to T and N stage of cancer,the patients were divided into T1,T2,T3 and N0,N1,N2 groups.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)was used to detect the expression of HOTAIR in lung cancer tissues and paraneoplastic tissues.The expression levels of NSE,CEA and CYFRA21-1 in serum were detected by immunofluorescence.The results showed that the expression level of HOTAIR in paraneoplastic tissues(0.98±0.04)were significantly lower than that in lung cancer tissues(3.56±0.15).The serum levels of NSE,CEA and CYFRA21-1 of the lung cancer group were higher than those in the control group.The concentrations of HOTAIR,NSE,CEA and CYFRA21-1 increased with the progress of clinical stages,which indicated that the expression of HOTAIR was positively correlated with the expression of SE,CEA and CYFRA21-1.These results indicate that HOTAIR,NSE,CEA and CYFRA21-1 are associated with the initiation and development of tumors.Therefore,HOTAIR combined with tumor marker can improve the accuracy of detection of pathological stage of lung cancer.
文摘The present work designed and investigated a 3D basic model for breast cancer detection at the ISM band. The model consists of two multi-slotted rectangular patch antennas and a three-layer breast phantom containing two tumors. A multi-slotted antenna was designed at 2.45 GHz using CST STUDIO SUITE 2018, where the simulated results showed a return loss better than -35 dB and attended more than 77 MHz bandwidth. The diagnosis approach is based on exploiting the electrical properties (frequency dependent) of breast tissues, i.e., mass density, relative permittivity, and conductivity. Once the proposed slotted antenna radiates electromagnetic signals toward the breast model (with and without tumors), the radiation properties in terms of the scattering parameters (S<sub>11</sub> and S<sub>21</sub>), the electrical field, the power flow, the current density, and the power loss density were altered. As a result, the values of these radiation parameters increased when tumors were implanted inside the breast model, informing the presence of cancerous tissues. Moreover, the specific absorption rate (SAR) was estimated as a function of input powers, where the proposed antenna showed a set of low SAR values compared to the IEEE standard of 1.6 W/kg, validating its potential use for diagnosing purposes. The simulated results indicated the prospective use of two slotted antennas (in the first instance) to detect multiple tumors which could be a challenging task using a single-element antenna, where the ultimate goal is to realize a compact antenna array to detect multi-tumors.
文摘Objective:To analyze the screening effectiveness of combining the fecal occult blood test with tumor marker detection for colorectal cancer.Methods:A total of thirty patients with colorectal cancer and thirty patients with benign colon hyperplasia who received treatment from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected.These patients were assigned to the observation group and the control group,respectively.All patients in both groups underwent both fecal occult blood tests and tumor marker detection.The levels of tumor markers between the two groups were compared,the tumor marker levels in different stages were assessed within the observation group,and the positive detection rates for single detection and combined detection were compared.Results:The levels of various tumor markers in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Furthermore,as the Duke stage increased within the observation group,the levels of various tumor markers also increased(P<0.05).The positive detection rate of the combined test was notably higher than that of single detection(P<0.05).Conclusion:Combining the fecal occult blood test with tumor marker detection in colorectal cancer screening can significantly improve the overall detection rate.

文摘Aim:Several cationic radiotracers originally developed as myocardial perfusion agents have shown potential for both early detection of cancer and non-invasive monitoring of multiple drug resistance(MDR)by single photon emission computed tomography.We have introduced two cationic complexes,^(99m)Tc-DMEOP[di-methoxy-tris-pyrazolyl-^(99m)Tc-(CO)_(3)]and ^(99m)Tc-TMEOP[tri-methoxy-tris-pyrazolyl-^(99m)Tc-(CO)_(3)],which showed excellent preclinical results as cardiac imaging probes,namely a persistent heart uptake with rapid blood and liver clearance.This study aimed at the evaluation of their usefulness for tumoral detection and functional assessment of MDR.Methods:The uptake and efflux kinetics of ^(99m)Tc-DMEOP and ^(99m)Tc-TMEOP were evaluated in human prostate,lung,and breast cancer cell lines,including drug-resistant cell lines that are known to overexpress the MDR P-glycoprotein(Pgp).The effects of MDR modulators were also studied.In vivo studies were performed in xenografted tumor models,and the MDR phenotype of the tumors was confirmed by Western blot.Results:The uptake kinetics of both complexes in human cancer cell lines is comparable with the one found for ^(99m)Tc-Sestamibi,increasing over time.The uptake of ^(99m)Tc-TMEOP is greatly reduced in cells overexpressing Pgp and increased in the presence of a Pgp modulator.In nude mice,the tumor uptake of ^(99m)Tc-TMEOP was higher in the MCF-7 xenografts compared with the MCF7 Pgp tumors.Conclusion:The uptake kinetics of both complexes in human cancer cell lines is comparable with the one found for ^(99m)Tc-Sestamibi,increasing over time.The uptake of ^(99m)Tc-TMEOP is greatly reduced in cells overexpressing Pgp,and increased in the presence of a Pgp modulator.In nude mice,the tumor uptake of ^(99m)Tc-TMEOP was higher in the MCF-7 xenografts compared with the MCF7 Pgp tumors.
