Lung nodules are one of the most common pathological changes, thus early detection of lung nodule is very important for the diagnosis medical treatment of lung eancer. In recent years, as the application of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT), high-resolution CT(HRCT) and low-dose chest CTCLDCT), computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system will be more essential and more important. Since CAD system can improve the working efficiency of doctors and provide service to more patients, has become the research hotspot and achievement has been made in relevant area internationally recently. This review summarizes the basic methods and applieations of computer-aided detection and diagnosis of lung nodule based on CT image.

Stat3 is a member of the STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) protein family. It can be activated by many cytokines, growth factors and carcinogens. Activation of Stat3 in the cytoplasm leads to its dimerization, translocation into the nucleus, DNA binding and gene transcription. Constitutively activated Stat3 is associated with cellular transformation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, chemoresistance and radioresistance, and therefore suppress apoptosis of cancer.

BACKGROUND: Intestinal mucosa was damaged by ischemia and hypoxia during severe burn, and injury and infection of oxygen-derived free radicals during reperfusion.OBJECTIVE: To study on the basis of sub-cell level whether danshen can improve respiratory function of mitochondrion of epithelial cell in intestinal mucosa and decrease the production of oxygen-derived free radicals so as to protect intestinal mucosa of burnt rats.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study with single sample.SETTING: Department of Burn, the Third Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted at the Surgery Institute of the Third Hospital of Chinese PLA from December 2001 to February 2002.Totally 96 SD rats of clean grade were randomly divided into normal control group (n=24), burning model group (n=36) and danshen treatment group (n=36). 1 mL danshen parenteral solution had 1.5 g raw materials.METHODS: ① Rats in the burning model group and danshen treatment group were used to establish grade Ⅲ burning models with 20% scald of total body surface. ② Rats in the normal control group were not injured.③ After modeling, 1 mL/kg danshen parenteral solution was slowing injected into rats in the danshen treatment group through femoral vein, but saline was injected slowly into rats in the normal control group and burning model group. ④ Twelve rats from each of the burning mgdel group and the danshen treatment group were sacrificed at 1, 2 and 6 hours after modeling, and 8 rats in the normal control group were sacrificed at relevant time points respectively. ⑤ Samples of small intestine were collected to measure cytochrome aa3, cytochrome C, level of energy charge and activity of superoxide dismutase of mitochondrion of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cytochrome aa3, cytochrome C, level of energy charge and activity of superoxide dismutase of mitochondrion of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa 1, 2 and 6 hours after modeling.RESULTS: Totally 96 SD rats entered the final analysis. ① Level of cytochrome aa3 of mitochondrion of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa at various time points after modeling: Levels of cytochrome aa3 did not changed obviously in the burning model group and danshen treatment group 2 hours after modeling as compared with that in the normal control group (P＞ 0.05). Six hours after burning, levels in the burning model group were obviously lower than those in the normal control group (P ＜ 0.05), but those in the danshen treatment group were obviously higher than those in the burning model group [(3.16±0.13), (2.5640.15) μkat/g, P ＜ 0.05]. ②Measurements of cytochrome C, level of energy charge and activity of superoxide dismutase of mitochondrion of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa at various time points after modeling: As compared with those in the normal control group, measurements were decreased obviously in the burning model group 1, 2 and 6 hours after modeling (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01), but those in the danshen treatment group were obviously higher than those in the burning model group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).CONCLUSION: Danshen can raise the levels of cytochrome aa3, cytochrome C, energy production and SOD, and also reduce the production of oxygen-derived free radicals so as to improve respiratory function of mitochondria of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa of rats.

Objective To study the role of bacterial collagenase in wound healing with observing capillary neovascularization, epidermis regeneration and collagen fiber reparation in vivo. Method A total of 28 New Zealand rabbits were made into models of superficial soft tissue trauma and divided into two groups. In the experimental group, the right limbs of rabbits were traumatized intentionally in the same length and depth, and their wounds were treated with bacterial collagenase liquor 133 MIU/mL, and the wounds were sutured. Similarly, in the control group, the left limbs of the rabbits were modeled in the same way and their wounds were managed with physiological saline instead and closed. Their wounds were observed continually 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after traumatized. Data were analyzed statistically by using One-way ANOVA, LSD-test, and Wilcoxon rank test. Results There were no significant differences in capillary neovascularization and epidermis regeneration between two groups ( F = 0.12, P = 0.740 and F = 0.95, P = 0.33, respectively), but significant difference in collagen fiber reparation was found between two groups (F = 6.63, P = 0.01). Conclusions In the progress of wound healing, bacterial collagenase can improve the collagen fiber reparation without effects on the new capillary vasculogenesis and epidermis regeneration. The bacterial collagenase does not play a positive role in wound healing.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of bloodβ-hydroxybutyric acid and urine ketone in the diagnosis of diabetic ketosis. Methods One hundred and fifteen patients with non-ketosis diabetics (NDK group), 85 patients with diabetic ketosis (DK group) and 105 healthy people (control group) were enrolled in Chengmai People's Hospital from May 2012 to May 2014. Blood β-hydroxybutyric acid, urine ketone and blood glucose were detected; the correlation index of blood β-hydroxybutyric acid, urine ketone and blood glucose in NDK group and DK group were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was performed in determining the diagnostic value of bloodβ-hydroxybutyric acid for diabetic ketosis. Results The level of bloodβ-hydroxybutyric acid, positive rate of bloodβ-hydroxybutyric acid, urine ketone and level of blood glucose in DK group were higher than those in NDK group and NC group (P<0.01) . Blood β-hydroxybutyric acid was positively correlated with urine ketone and blood glucose (r=0.552,P=0.000;r=0.405,P=0.010) . When urine ketone was used as diagnostic standard, the area under curve of bloodβ-hydroxybutyric acid was 0.839, the best cutoff value ofβ-hydroxybutyric acid was 0.64 mmol/L with the sensitivity was 81.6%and specificity was 89.2%. Conclusions Examinations of bloodβ-hydroxybutyric acid and urine ketone have great significance for the diagnosis of diabetic ketosis. The co-monitoring of blood β-hydroxybutyric acid and urine ketone can reduce the rates of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. The best cutoff value of β-hydroxybutyric acid to diagnose diabetic ketosis was 0.64 mmol/L.
