Various tumor marker-guided treatment regimens can considerably improve patient prognosis with a better understanding of the molecular underpinnings of ovarian cancer recurrence and metastasis. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is a molecular imaging tool that provides anatomical and functional information about the tumor, and its volume-based metabolic parameters allow for quantifiable observation of ovarian cancer recurrence, prognosis, and therapeutic efficacy. The combined utilization of serological and radiologic markers has been found to provide increased clinical benefit. This article reviewed the predictive value of serum tumor markers and 18F-FDG PET/CT volumetric metabolic parameters for the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer.

CT机双列角接触球转盘轴承建模与振动特性分析

为了提高CT机主轴承的运转特性,确保CT机医学成像的稳定性,以洛阳LYC轴承有限公司研制的双列角接触球转盘轴承为研究对象进行建模与振动特性分析。首先,基于Hertz接触理论建立轴承在承受复合载荷作用下的力学模型;其次,结合Newton运动定律确立轴承外圈3自由度非线性动力学微分方程;最后,采用4阶Runge-Kutta法对微分方程组进行求解,获得轴承外圈的振动特性。在此基础上,通过分析影响轴承振动特性的因素如轴承内、外圈沟曲率半径系数、滚动体数量、游隙、预紧力等,从而确定满足CT机主轴承低振动下的最优结构参数。结果表明:轴承振动幅值随着内、外圈沟曲率半径系数的增加呈现出先减小后增大的趋势,将其分别控制在0.515~0.525、0.510~0.525更有利于降低轴承的振动;随着滚动体数量的增加,轴承的振动幅值也随之增加,但变化平稳,故在满足设计条件的前提下减少滚动体的数量可以降低轴承振动;随着轴承游隙的增加,轴承的振动幅值先减小后急剧增大,在18μm处振动达到最小;合适的轴向载荷可以有效降低轴承的振动幅值。

Multi-slice spiral CT angiography in evaluating donors of living-related liver transplantation

BACKGROUND: During the past years, the number of liver transplantation has increased greatly, but the number of available organs has not increased. In view of the critical shortage of organs, the indications for living-related liver transplantation (LRLT) have broadened since experience with the procedure has been achieved. This study was undertaken to assess the value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) angiography in evaluating the hepatic arterial and veinous anatomy of potential donors for LRLT. METHODS: MSCT was performed after intravenous injection of contrast material at 3 ml/s. The total dose was calculated as 2 ml/kg. Twenty LRLT donors (2 men and 18 women) were subjected to MSCT angiography of hepatic blood vessels. These were generated by volume rendering and maximum intensity projection, while curved planar reformation was added in 5 patients. RESULTS: We identified 10 important hepatic vascular variants in 9 of the 20 donors (4 arterial, 4 venous, and 2 portal venous variants). In hepatic arterial variants, two had a replaced right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery, an accessory right hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery and a replaced left hepatic artery arising from the left gastric artery. In hepatic venous variants, three had an accessory inferior right hepatic vein and one had two accessory inferior right hepatic veins. In hepatic portal venous variants, two had trifurcation of the main portal vein. CONCLUSIONS: As a non-invasive and reliable method, MSCT angiography is of value in the clinical evaluation of LRLT donors. MSCT angiography should be recommended as a routine preoperative examination for potential LRLT donors.

Influence analysis of complex crack geometric parameters on mechanical properties of soft rock

Soft rocks, such as coal, are afected by sedimentary efects, and the surrounding rock mass of underground coal mines is generally soft and rich in joints and cracks. A clear and deep understanding of the relationship between crack geometric parameters and rock mechanics properties in cracked rock is greatly important to the design of engineering rock mass struc‑tures. In this study, computed tomography (CT) scanning was used to extract the internal crack network of coal specimens. Based on the crack size and dominant crack number, the parameters of crack area, volume, length, width, and angle were statistically analyzed by diferent sampling thresholds. In addition, the Pearson correlation coefcients between the crack parameters and uniaxial compression rock mechanics properties (uniaxial compressive strength UCS, elasticity modulus E) were calculated to quantitatively analyze the impact of each parameter. Furthermore, a method based on Pearson coefcients was used to grade the correlation between crack geometric parameters and rock mechanical properties to determine threshold values. The results indicated that the UCS and E of the specimens changed with the varied internal crack structures of the specimens, the crack parameters of area, volume, length and width all showed negative correlations with UCS and E, and the dominant crack played an important role both in weakening strength and stifness. The crack parameters of the angle are all positively correlated with the UCS and E. More crack statistics can signifcantly improve the correlation between the parameters of the crack angle and the rock mechanics properties, and the statistics of the geometric parameters of at least 16 cracks or the area larger than 5 mm2 are suggested for the analysis of complex cracked rock masses or physical reproduction using 3D printing. The results are validated and further analyzed with triaxial tests. The fndings of this study have important reference value for future research regarding the accurate and efcient selection of a few cracks with a signifcant infuence on the rock mechanical properties of surrounding rock mass structures in coal engineering.

Post-radiation survival time in hepatocellular carcinoma based on predictors for CT-determined, transarterial embolization and various other parameters

AIM: In this retrospective study of unresectable helatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we have investigated the efficacy of CTderived parameters, laboratory measurements, clinical assessment and associated transarterial embolization (TAE) as predictors of post-radiotherapy survival time.METHODS: Sixty-six patients diagnosed with unresectable HCC that had undergone radiotherapy at two medical university hospitals in Taipei were enrolled in the study.Using multivariant analysis, pre-treatment parameters including tumor number and CT confirmation of PVT and ascites were compared. Multivariant analysis was also used for comparison of the mean pretreatment values for laboratory measurements, including alpha-fetoprotein,direct/total bilirubin and GOT/GPT levels, and clinical history of chronic hepatitis across the three survival-time categories. The χ2 was used to test the significance of the relationship between survival time and TAE procedure.The Pvalues for the above tests were deemed statisticallysignificant where P＜0.05.RESULTS: Portal vein thrombosis (P = 0.032) and ascites (P＜0.05) were negative predictors of post-radiation survival time. Low-grade liver cirrhosis (A or B), lower tumor volume and low levels of AFT, GOT/GPT, and total bilirubin were predictors of longer post-radiation survival time (P＜0.05).CONCLUSION: The CT and clinical and laboratory assessment provide a reference for, and enable estimation of, probable survival times in HCC patients after radiotherapy. Tumor volume, severity of liver cirrhosis,status with respect to portal vein thrombosis and ascites and AFT, GOT/GPT and total bilirubin values were significant predictors of survival in this study.

目的基于低剂量CT定量参数构建肺混合磨玻璃结节侵袭性的预测模型,并验证模型预测效能。方法纳入我院2021年3月~2023年3月收治的病理证实的肺混合磨玻璃结节患者102例进行回顾性研究,根据病理结果及肺腺癌分类标准分成浸润性腺癌(IA)组(n=71)、非IA组(n=31)。患者入院后均接受低剂量CT扫描,并进行定量参数分析,比较两组结节最大直径、结节体积、结节最大横截面积、结节最大垂直长径、结节质量、平均CT值,利用多因素Logistic回归模型分析肺混合磨玻璃结节侵袭性的影响因素。基于回归分析结果构建列线图模型,通过受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线与Hosmer-Lemeshow检验进行内部验证,分析模型预测效能。结果IA组结节最大直径、结节最大横截面积、结节最大垂直长径、结节质量、结节体积高于非IA组(P<0.05)。多因素Logistic回归分析提示,结节最大直径(OR:2.675,95%CI:1.298-5.514)与最大横截面积(OR:2.380,95%CI:1.435-3.946)增高是肺混合磨玻璃结节侵袭性的独立危险因素(P<0.05)。基于多因素分析结果构建列线图模型,经校准曲线、决策曲线提示模型可靠,ROC曲线提示该模型预测肺混合磨玻璃结节侵袭性的曲线下面积为0.902(标准误:0.029,P<0.001,95%CI:0.845-0.958),敏感度80.28%,特异度80.65%。Hosmer-Lemeshow检验提示拟合度好(χ^(2)=2.596,P=0.581)。结论低剂量CT定量参数中结节最大直径、最大横截面积与肺混合磨玻璃结节侵袭性相关,基于上述参数构建模型,能对肺混合磨玻璃结节侵袭性进行预测评估。

混合磨玻璃结节实性成分的CT定量参数对肺腺癌组织分化的预测价值

探讨肺部混合磨玻璃结节(mGGN)实性成分的三维CT定量参数预测浸润性非黏液腺癌(IAC)组织分化程度的价值。回顾性分析99例术后病理证实为IAC患者的临床及影像资料。依据国际肺癌研究学会病理新分级系统分为:高分化IAC(53例)、中分化IAC(31例)、低分化IAC(15例)。观察实性成分的三维CT定量参数与IAC组织分化程度之间的相关性。结果显示:实性成分体积、体积占比、平均CT值、平均直径在不同组织分化程度之间的差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.001)。多重比较结果显示,低分化IAC的实性成分体积、体积占比、平均CT值、平均直径均大于中高分化IAC;而中分化与高分化IAC之间仅体积占比有统计学意义。将高分化IAC与中分化IAC合并纳入A组,低分化IAC纳入B组,预测低分化IAC的ROC曲线结果显示实性成分体积、体积占比、平均CT值、平均直径的cut-off值分别为341.5 mm~3、52.9%、-116.5 HU、9.65 mm。总之,mGGN实性成分的三维CT定量参数对IAC的组织分化程度有较高的预测价值,对选择诊治方案和判断患者预后有较大的指导意义。
