There are no intuitive and unified standards for selecting features in existing protein gel image point matching method, for which an analysis method based on similarity map is proposed. Firstly, the definition and generation methods of similarity map were presented. Secondly, trait and merits of features such as coordinate similarity, shape-context similarity and morphology similarity were analyzed using similarity map method. Finally, comprehensive utilization of multi-features named product-method which has a better effect than mean-method was proposed based on the results. Many experiments using different 2-DE gel images were carried out to prove the validity of similarity map and product-method. The results showed that similarity map could be used for intuitional, effective analysis of matching performance and to guide the selection and comprehensive utilization of multi-features.

In order to improve the efficiency of protein spots detection, a fast detection method based on CUDA was proposed. Firstly, the parallel algorithms of the three most time-consuming parts in the protein spots detection algorithm: image preprocessing, coarse protein point detection and overlapping point segmentation were studied. Then, according to single instruction multiple threads executive model of CUDA to adopted data space strategy of separating two-dimensional (2D) images into blocks, various optimizing measures such as shared memory and 2D texture memory are adopted in this study. The results show that the operative efficiency of this method is obviously improved compared to CPU calculation. As the image size increased, this method makes more improvement in efficiency, such as for the image with the size of 2,048 x 2,048, the method of CPU needs 52,641 ms, but the GPU needs only 4,384 ms.

Objective:To investigate the value of nomogram based on intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) and MRI-derived radiomics for predicting recurrence after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).Methods:Clinical data of 111 patients with ⅠB-ⅣA cervical cancer who underwent CCRT at Anhui Provincial Hospital from December 2014 to December 2019 and were continuously followed up were retrospectively analyzed. Pre-treatment IVIM-DWI parameters (ADC, D, D * and f) and pre- and post-treatment 3D texture parameters (from axial T 2WI) of the primary lesions were measured. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to filter texture features and calculate radiomics score (Rad-score). A Cox regression model was used to analyze independent risk factors for recurrence after CCRT in patients with LACC and construct a nomogram. Results:External beam radiotherapy dose, f value , pre-treatment Rad-score and post-treatment Rad-score ( HR=0.204, 3.253, 2.544, 7.576) were the independent prognostic factors for recurrence after CCRT in cervical cancer patients and jointly formed the nomogram. The area under curve (AUC) of the nomogram for predicting 1-, 3- and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 0.895, 0.888 and 0.916, with internal validation C-indexes of 0.859, 0.903 and 0.867, respectively. The decision curves analysis showed that the nomogram has a higher net clinical benefit compared to other models, and the clinical impact curves further visualized its predictive accuracy. Conclusions:The nomogam based on IVIM-DWI and radiomics has high clinical value in predicting recurrence after CCRT in patients with LACC, providing reference for prognostic assessment and individualized treatment of cervical cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the value of nomograms based on clinical parameters, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and MRI-derived radiomics in predicting survival of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).Methods:Clinical data of 423 patients with IB-IVA cervical cancer treated with CCRT at Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from March 2014 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and randomly divided into the training and validation groups at a ratio of 2∶1 using the simple randomization method. The values of ADC min, ADC mean, ADC max and 3D texture parameters of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), T 2WI, T 2WI-fat suppression of pre-treatment primary lesions in all patients were measured. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and logistic regression analysis were used to screen the texture features and calculate radiomics score (Rad-score). Cox regression analysis was employed to construct nomogram models for predicting overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CS) of patients with LACC after CCRT, which were subject to internal and external validation. Results:Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), external beam radiotherapy dose, ADCmin and Rad-score were the independent prognostic factors for OS and CS of LACC patients after CCRT and constituted predictive models for OS and CS. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of two models in predicting 1-year, 3-year, 5-year OS and CS was 0.906, 0.917, 0.916 and 0.911, 0.918, 0.920, with internally validated consistency indexes (C-indexes) of 0.897 and 0.900. Then, models were brought into the validation group for external validation with AUC of 0.986, 0.942, 0.932 and 0.986, 0.933, 0.926 in predicting 1-year, 3-year, 5-year OS and CS.Conclusion:The nomograms based on clinical parameters, ADC values and MRI-derived radiomics are of high clinical value in predicting OS and CS of patients with LACC after CCRT, which can be used as prognostic markers for patients with cervical cancer to certain extent.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) and its differential diagnosis from other serrated lesions.
METHODSClinicopathological features of all cases of colorectal serrated lesions from 5 209 colorectal biopsy samples at Shanghai Tongji Hospital from 2008 to 2013 were reviewed. Three hundred and fifty-three cases of serrated lesions were erolled in the study. Morphological features of SSA/P were investigated with an emphasis on histologic criteria for diagnosis and a literature review was performed.
RESULTSThree hundred and fifty-three cases of serrated lesions were identified, including 25 SSA/P (7.1%), 278 hyperplastic polyp (HP, 78.8%), and 44 traditional serrated adenoma (TSA, 12.5%). Twenty-five patients with SSA/P consisted of 16 males and 9 females with a mean age of 62.2 years (aged 34-84 years) and the lesions involved sigmoid colon (14 cases), ascending colon (9 cases), rectum (1 case) and transverse colon (1 case). Grossly, the majority of SSA/P was sessile with an averaged size of 0.73 cm. Histologically, typical SSA/P had elongated crypts with prominent serration and distorted crypts architecture. The detection rates of crypts dilatation and branching in SSA/P and HP were 100% (25/25) and 24% (12/50, P < 0.01), 72% (18/25) and 4% (2/50, P < 0.01), respectively. Morphological features observed only in SSA/P included L-shaped crypts (48%, 12/25), pseudo infiltration of mucosa muscle (16%, 4/25), atypical nuclei (32%, 8/25), and increased mucus secretion (24%, 6/25).
CONCLUSIONSSSA/P microscopically shows prominent serration and abnormal architectures of crypts. Complete tissue sectioning and correct embedding are helpful for the diagnosis. SSA/P without cytological dysplasia should be distinguished from HP, especially those with only a few distorted crypts.
