Integrating visualization toolkit and the capability of interaction, bidirectional communication and graphics rendering which provided by HTML5, we explored and experimented on the feasibility of remote medical image reconstruction and interaction in pure Web. We prompted server-centric method which did not need to download the big medical data to local connections and avoided considering network transmission pressure and the three-dimensional (3D) rendering capability of client hardware. The method integrated remote medical image reconstruction and interaction into Web seamlessly, which was applicable to lower-end computers and mobile devices. Finally, we tested this method in the Internet and achieved real-time effects. This Web-based 3D reconstruction and interaction method, which crosses over internet terminals and performance limited devices, may be useful for remote medical assistant.

This study was conducted to investigate the anti-tumor efficacy of nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) on the mouse with A375-GFP melanoma xenograft in vivo. In vivo fluorescence image analysis system was used in this study to evaluate the effects of nsPEFs on human melanoma A375 cell xenograft. On the Day 90 af ter pulse delivery, the skin that had contained A375 cell xenograft was surgically excised and pathologically evalua ted. The changes of scar were recorded by digital camera. The experiment revealed that significant changes in fluorescence value trend and amplitude were found in the treated group from those in the control group. The fluorescence of tumor in the treated group decreased mostly 48 h after the treatment and completely disappeared 10 d after the treatment, while that in control group was increased gradually. Surgical excision of the area confirmed a complete pathologic response. Within a few days after the nsPEFs treatment, a hard scab formed at the treatment region. The scab fell off by the end of the second week. As time went on, the scar gradually became faded and all xenograft tumors were disappeared without recurrence. From the experiment, we learn that nsPEFs can bring good therapeutic effect. It may provide a new approach for the clinical treatment of superficial tumors.

Objective: To investigate the expression of A20, also known as tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to explore its relationship with prognosis. Methods: The expression levels of A20 mRNA in 86 cases of HCC and the corresponding adjacent tissues as well as 26 cases of normal liver tissues from the patients with hepatic hemangioma were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative-PCR. The correlations of A20 expression with clinicopathologic features and prognosis of HCC patients after radical operation were analyzed. Results: The relative expression level of A20 mRNA in HCC tissues was 1.620+0.155, which was significantly higher than that in normal liver tissues (0.410±0.043, P < 0.001). The relative expression level in A20 mRNA in para-HCC tissues was 1.215±0.134, which was significantly higher than that in normal liver tissues (P = 0.001). There was no significant difference in A20 mRNA expression level between HCC and para-HCC tissues (P = 0.087). The expression level of A20 in HCC tissues was closely correlated with tumor differentiation (P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that HCC patients with high expression of A20 mRNA had poorer prognosis with lower probability of overall survival (OS, P = 0.016) and shorter time to tumor recurrence (TTR, P = 0.011). The univariate analysis showed that the expression level of A20 mRNA was closely related to the prognosis of HCC patients (OS: P = 0.012; TTR: P = 0.013). The multivariate analysis showed that A20 could be an independent prognostic factor for HCC patients (OS: P = 0.021; TTR: P = 0.018). Conclusion: The expression level of A20 mRNA in HCC is significantly higher than that in normal liver. A20 may be used as an independent prognostic indicator for survival and recurrence of HCC patients.

Objective To explore the association of serum uric acid (UA) with metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components.Methods A total of 1 512 inhabitants aged 20 years old and above in Zhaiji community of Guiyang urban areas were investigated from November 2009 to February 2010 by adopting stratified cluster sampling method (634 males and 878 females).All subjects were asked to fulfill the questionnaires and to measure the height,weight,waist circumstance (WC),and blood pressure ; and to undertake oral glucose tolerance test.Venous blood samples were drawn to measure UA,fasting plasma glucose,2 h postprandial plasma glucose,triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,and fasting insulin.Results (1) Age,body mass index (BMI),WC,TG,and blood pressure,and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) increased with UA (all P＜0.05).(2) UA was positively associated with the risk of MS (P＜ 0.05).After adjusting for age,sex,BMI,waist-to-hip ratio (WHR),and HOMA-IR,the risk of MS in individuals with the highest uric acid quartiles was significantly increased compared to those with the lowest quartile (OR =2.86,95 ％ CI 1.70-4.84,P＜0.05),and this finding was especially evident in females (OR=2.80,95％ CI 1.51-5.17,P＜0.05).(3) UA was strongly related to WC (OR =1.76,95％ CI0.95-3.27,P＜0.05),blood pressure (OR =1.66,95 ％ CI 1.13-2.43,P＜0.05),and TG (OR =2.80,95％ CI 1.97-3.96,P＜0.05) after adjustment for age,sex,BMI,WHR,and HOMA-IR.Conclusion The prevalence of MS increased with UA.Higher UA level may be an independent risk factor for MS.
