Objective Turn the CT sectional image into three-dimensional imaging based on VTK, in or-der to make better treatment programs for patients with liver cancer. Methods Establish visualization toolkit (VTK) visualization development environment based on VC6.0, obtain patient's CT images in DICOM format, use VTK filter and Laplacian sharpening template for pre-treatment of the images, and then use Ray-Casting algo-rithm for three-dimensional reconstruction. Results We can get three-dimensional images with higher resolu-tion and faster imaging speed through this method, which can also be cut, rotated and zoomed. Conclusion Ray-Casting algorithm based on VTK can be used for the three-dimensional imaging of human liver. With the as-sistance of three-dimensional images, doctors can detect the location of diseased tissue more easily and observe the shapes of diseased tissue intuitively.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cytotoxicity of cyflumetofen for SH-SY5Y cells and the mechanism. METHODS SH-SY5Y cells treated with cyflumetofen 0.03, 0.06, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.6, 4, 6, 8 and 16 mmol·L-1 for 48 h. Cell survival was measured with MTT assay. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined with the DCFH- DA probe, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was detected by JC-1 staining. The morphological changes in cell nuclei were observed with Hoechst33258 staining. Cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry. The protein levels of phosphorylated Jun Kinase (p-JNK) and p-P38 were measured by Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with solvent (DMSO) control group, cyflumetofen (≥0.06 mmol · L- 1) inhibited the proliferation of SH- SY5Y cells obviously (P<0.05), and the IC50 was 2.6 mmol·L-1. MMP declined and ROS levels increased significantly in cyflumetofen 1, 2, 4 and 6 mmol·L- 1 groups (P<0.01). Cyflumetofen 2, 4 and 6 mmol·L- 1 induced nucleic accumulation, nuclear shrinkage and disintegration in SH-SY5Y cells. Apoptosis rates of cyflu? metofen 2, 4 and 6 mmol·L- 1 groups increased from (0.7±0.1)% in DMSO control group to (6.7±0.1)%, (72.4±8.6)% and (90.7±3.2)% (P<0.01). Cyflumetofen 4 and 6 mmol·L- 1 induced G1 phase cell cycle arrest (P<0.01). In addition, Western blotting showed that cyflumetofen 4 and 6 mmol·L-1 up-regulated the expression of p-JNK (P<0.01), while the level of p-P38 in SH-SY5Y cells was increased in cyflumetofen 6 mmol · L- 1 group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Cyflumetofen induces cell damage, apoptosis and G1 phase cell cycle arrest in SH- SY5Y cells. The mechanism may be associated with oxidative damage, and activation of P38 and JNK stress-response pathways.

BACKGROUNDTo detect the micrometastases status in peripheral blood and regional lymph nodes of lung cancer patients by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
METHODSCK19 mRNA expression in peripheral blood and regional lymph nodes was detected in 78 patients with lung cancer, and 30 patients with pulmonary benign lesions and 10 healthy volunteers as controls by RT-PCR. Meanwhile, all lymph nodes were also examined by traditional pathological method.
RESULTSThe positive rate of CK19 mRNA expression was 38.5% in peripheral blood of lung cancer patients, and 6.7% in patients with pulmonary benign lesions (6.7%) (Chi-square=10.505,P=0.001). No positive CK19 mRNA expression was found in peripheral blood of 10 healthy volunteers. The positive rates of CK19 mRNA of lymph nodes were 36.9% and 0 in lung cancer patients and pulmonary benign disease patients respectively (Fisher's exact=0.014). In lung cancer group, the metastatic rate of lymph nodes was 17.9% by traditional pathological examination, which was much lower than that by RT-PCR (Chi-square=7.664, P=0.006).
CONCLUSIONSRT-PCR amplification of CK19 mRNA is an sensitive method to detect early haematogenous and regional lymph nodes dissemination of cancer cells for patients with lung cancer. This method may lead to an earlier diagnosis and treatment of patients with subclinical metastasis in circulation and regional lymph nodes.

Objective To compare the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on platelet aggregation rate, myocardial perfusion and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods One hundred and sixty-nine patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were recruited and randomly divided into ticagrelor group (85 cases) and clopidogrel group (84 cases). The TIMI blood flow before and after PCI was recorded, and the ST segment fall rate of 1 h ECG after PCI was calculated. The platelet aggregation rate was measured. After 12 months' follow-up, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was recorded. The Logistic regression analysis was used to discover the factors of MACE. Results One hundred and sixty-nine patients with acute STEMI were recruited including 85 cases treated with ticagrelor and 84 cases in clopidogrel group. The ECG ST segment fall rate after PCI in ticagrelor group was significantly higher than that in clopidogrel group: (61.3 ± 30.7)% vs. (47.8 ± 26.6)%, P<0.05. The platelet aggregation rate 2 h, 24 h and 7 d after PCI in ticagrelor group was significantly lower than that in clopidogrel group (P<0.05). MACE occurred in 19 cases (22.4%) in ticagrelor group and in 21 cases (25.0%) in clopidogrel group, and there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis revealed that age and ECG ST segment fall rate were independent risk factors for MACE (P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor can effectively reduce platelet aggregation rate and accelerate ST segment fall in STEMI patients, but their long-term prognosis is similar.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum adiponectin level on morbidity of acute myocardial infarction, and to evaluate its impact on prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We prospectively recruited patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had underwent primary PCI. Their serum adiponectin levels were measured. The TIMI blood flow classification of culprit vessel was recorded after PCI. Echocardiography was performed in 24 h after PCI to evaluate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were recorded including cardiac death, recurrent nonfatal myocardial infarction, target vessel reascularization, and readmission for heart failure after 18 months′ followed-up. Results 108 consecutive patients with STEMI and 38 control patients without coronary artery stenosis were recruited. The serum adiponectin level in STEMI group was significantly lower than that in control: (1 413.9 ± 218.8) ng/L vs.(1 756.3 ± 205.5) ng/L (P<0.01). STEMI patients with LVEF < 50% had lower serum adiponectin level compared with LVEF ≥50%: (1 334.1 ± 226.3) ng/L vs. (1 453.0 ± 213.8) ng/L , P<0.01. The serum adiponectin level in the TIMI 0-2 group after PCI was significantly lower than that in the TIMI 3 group:(1 350.7 ± 214.9) ng/L vs. (1 430.6 ± 218.5) ng/L, P < 0.01. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that lower serum adiponectin level was an independent predictor of STEMI ( OR=0.992, 95% CI 0.987-0.996, P<0.01). MACE occurred in 22 patients (20.4% ). Cox regression analysis revealed that lower serum adiponectin level remained an independent predictor of MACE ( OR=0.996, 95% CI 0.993-0.999, P < 0.01). Conclusions Lower serum adiponectin level is significantly associated with morbidity of STEMI and adverse prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective:To evaluate the follow-up clinical results of W-shaped acetabular angular plate for the treatment of acetabular posterior wall fractures through a direct posterior approach (DPA).Methods:Fifteen cases (10 males and 5 females, average aged 42.1±10.0 years) were involved in this study, with acetabular posterior wall fractures treated by using the W-shaped acetabular angular plate through a DPA between March 2017 and June 2019. Nine patients with fractures were injured by traffic accidents and the other 6 cases by falling. Based on the three-column classification for acetabular fractures, all of the cases belonged to posterior wall fractures (A2.1), which included 6 cases of simple fractures and 9 cases of comminuted fractures. The mean time interval between injury and surgery was 5.6±1.1 (range, 4-8) days. The DPA was adopted in all cases. The posterior wall fractures of the acetabulum were reduced and fixed with W-shaped acetabular angular plates. The reduction quality of the acetabulum was evaluated by X-ray and CT scan during follow-up visits according to the criteria proposed by Matta. The function of the hip joint was assessed by the Merle d'Aubigné-Posteal score modified by Matta.Results:The length of the surgical incision was 9.5±1.1 (range, 8-12) cm. The operation time was 45.3±10.1 (range, 35-75) mins. The amount of intraoperative blood loss was 248.0±94.7 (range, 100-380) ml. All the patients who were followed up for 20.5±6.3 (range, 16-38) months. All cases were evaluated according to Matta's reduction quality criteria, the satisfactory ratio of reduction was 100%. Among cases, 10 cases were matched the anatomic reduction, and the other 5 cases have belonged to satisfy. All cases of fractures had healed (the mean of healing time was 9.4±1.3 (range, 8-12 weeks). At the final follow-up visit, the mean of modified Merle d'Aubigne-Postel score was 16.9±1.6 (range, 13-18). Excellent clinical outcomes were obtained in 10 cases, good in 3 cases, and fair in 2 cases. One case had deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities. The clots disappeared after anticoagulation treatment. One case had the heterotopic ossification, Brooker grade I, without any special treatment due to not affecting the hip joint activity in the follow-up visits. One patient had incision fat liquefaction and the wound healed after intensive dressing change. No internal fixation loosening or losing of fracture reduction was found at the follow-up visits.Conclusion:This study shows that using W-shaped acetabular angular plate for the treatment of acetabular posterior wall fractures through the DPA could obtain early satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy between robot-assisted and free-hand percutaneous cannulated screwing (PCS) in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the middle-aged and young patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 53 patients with femoral neck fracture who had been treated with PCS from May 2020 to May 2022 at Department of Traumatic Surgery, Maoming Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University. In the robot group of 25 patients subjected to robot-assisted PCS, there were 11 males and 14 females with an age of (48.2 ± 11.9) years; in the free-hand group of 28 patients subjected to free-hand PCS, there were 13 males and 15 females with an age of (48.5 ± 9.8) years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative guide drills, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, fracture union time, Harris hip score at the last follow-up and postoperative complications. Postoperative imaging examination was performed to evaluate distribution accuracy of the cannulated screws in the femoral neck (deviation between the screws and the femoral neck axis, parallelism between the screws and distance between the screws and the neck cortex).Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the robot and free-hand groups in the general clinical data before operation, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The robot group showed significantly shorter operation time [(32.7 ± 4.8) min], significantly less intraoperative bleeding [(14.6 ± 4.8) mL], significantly less intraoperative guide drillings [(3.5 ± 0.7) times] and significantly less intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency [(7.9 ± 1.4) times] than the free-hand group [(56.9 ± 11.3) min, (27.0 ± 7.3) mL, (9.1 ± 1.8) times and (16.3 ± 6.0) times)] (all P<0.05). Postoperative imaging showed that the deviation between the screws and the femoral neck axis was 4.4° ± 1.1° on the anteroposterior X-ray film and 3.2° ± 0.8° on the lateral X-ray film, the parallelism between the screws 4.9° ± 0.8° on the anteroposterior X-ray film and 3.0° ± 0.7° on the lateral X-ray film, and the distance between the screws and the femoral neck cortex (10.4 ± 2.7) mm in the robot group, all significantly smaller than those in the free-hand group [10.5° ± 2.8°, 4.9° ± 1.1°, 12.1° ± 4.0°, 5.1° ± 1.3°, and (15.4 ± 3.2) mm] (all P<0.05). All the 53 patients were followed up for (22.2 ± 8.5) months. All fractures got united. The fracture union time in the robot group [(20.6 ± 4.6) weeks] was insignificantly shorter than that in the free-hand group [(23.7 ± 7.7) weeks] ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the Harris hip score in the robot group [(88.6 ± 5.6) points] was significantly higher than that in the free-hand group [(84.8 ± 6.3) points] ( P<0.05). Follow-ups revealed 2 cases of internal fixation loosening, 1 case of screw head cutting and 1 case of femoral head necrosis in the free-hand group but none of such complications in the robot group. Conclusion:In the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the middle-aged and young patients, compared with free-hand PCS, robot-assisted PCS shows advantages of shorter intraoperative time, less bleeding, less fluoroscopic radiation, higher accuracy of screw placement, a lower incidence of postoperative complications and better functional recovery of the hip joint.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical features of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and its risk factors for the related HLA-haploidentical non T cell-depleted in vitro peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (RHNT-PBSCT).
METHODSFrom July 2002 to December 2012, 104 patients who underwent the RHNT-PBSCT were enrolled to analyze the incidences, location and its risk factors of aGVHD, compared with those of the 103 patients who received the HLA-matched sibling non T cell-depleted in vitro PBSCT (MSNT-PBSCT) in the same period.
RESULTS(1)The cumulative incidence of aGVHD in the RHNT-PBSCT group was significantly higher than the MSNT-PBSCT group [(56.2±4.7)% vs (34±3.6)%, P<0.05], but the cumulative incidences of II-IV and III-IVgrade aGVHD had no significant difference between the two groups[(39.5±2.9)% vs (21.2±5.4)%, P>0.05; (12.6±4.1)% vs (10.8±2.4)%, P>0.05]. (2)The cumulative incidence of cutaneous aGVHD was significantly higher in RHNT-PBSCT group than that in MSNT-PBSCT group [(42.3±3.2)% vs (17.5±2.3)%, P<0.05]. The cumulative incidences of liver and gastrointestinal aGVHD between the two groups had no significant difference [(7.7±2.1)% vs (12.6±3.4)%, P>0.05; (16.3±4.5)% vs (10.3±2.5)%, P>0.05]. (3)The 3-year disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival(OS) of RHNT-PBSCT group and MSNT-PBSCT group were (63±5.5)%, (65.2±4.7)% and (74.2±5.4)%, (77.4±5)% respectively, without significance (P=0.078, P=0.052). (4)aGVHD occurrence with HLA haplotype (P=0.003) and matched loci (P=0.002) were significantly correlated by univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed that only the HLA typing is a risk factor for aGVHD (HR=1.891, P=0.03).
CONCLUSIONAlthough the incidence of total aGVHD in RHNT-PBSCT protocol is higher than that in MSNT-PBSCT, but there was no significance in severe aGVHD and cutaneous aGVHD was the common type, which indicates that RHNT-PBSCT protocol is feasible.
