Objective To understand the research hotspots and research trends about convolutional neural networks in the field of oncology imaging diagnosis by analyzing the characteristics of published literature at home and abroad over the past decade. Methods The SCI-E database was used as the data source to retrieve literature about convolutional neural networks in the field of oncology imaging diagnosis published from 2012 to 2022. The distribution characteristics of countries, institutions, journals, co-cited authors, and keywords of the studies were analyzed by CiteSpace software. Results A total of 1088 papers were eventually included, and they were mostly from China, the United States, and India. A total of 39 papers were published by Sun Yat-sen University, the research institution with the highest number of publications. Radiology Nuclear Medicine Medical Imaging was the journal with the highest number of publications. A total of 25 high-frequency keywords and 15 burst keywords were obtained. The formation of 12 author co-citation clusters such as image segmentation and lung nodule, as well as 11 keyword clusters such as automatic segmentation and breast cancer, was observed. Conclusion Current research on convolutional neural networks for oncology imaging diagnosis focuses on oncology segmentation, lung-nodule recognition, assisted diagnosis of breast cancer, and other high-frequency oncology.

Objective:To explore the application value of guide tube fenestration and drainage technology in intracranial artery stenting surgery.Methods:A total of 120 patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis admitted to the Xingtai Third Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and randomly divided into an observation group ( n=60) and a control group ( n=60). Both groups were treated with intracranial artery stenting, with the observation group receiving guidance catheterization and window opening technique during the surgery. Two groups of surgeries were observed and compared: the degree of vascular stenosis before and after surgery, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) scores before and one month after surgery, intraoperative complications, and prognosis. Results:The surgical time and catheter placement time in the observation group were (110.20±23.32)minutes and (11.32±2.01)minutes, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The stent placement rate and operation success rate in the observation group were 95.00% and 96.67%, respectively, significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The degree of postoperative vascular stenosis in the observation group was (32.29±7.11)%, significantly milder than that in the control group [(44.43±8.15)%, P<0.05]. One month after surgery, the MoCA scores of both groups improved significantly compared to before surgery (all P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of collateral circulation occlusion and vascular rupture between the two groups (all P>0.05). During the follow-up period, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of restenosis, intracranial hemorrhage, and recurrent ischemic stroke between the observation group and the control group (all P>0.05); The good prognosis rate of the observation group was 73.33%, significantly higher than that of the control group (53.33%, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of guided catheter fenestration technique in intracranial artery stenting has good value, which is beneficial for improving the stent placement rate and operation success rate, and improving the degree of vascular stenosis.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of surgery via endoscopic-assisted transcallosal approach in intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).Methods:A retrospective study was performed; the clinical data of 68 IVH patients admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to January 2020 were analyzed. These patients were divided into endoscopic treatment group ( n=34) and drainage group ( n=34) according to the treatment methods. In the endoscopic treatment group, IVH was evacuated via endoscopic-assisted transcallosal approach; in the drainage group, external ventricular drainage and urokinase injection were performed. Gross hematoma clearance rate (clearance rate≥95%) 1, 3, and 7 d after surgery, complication incidence 7 d and 1 month after surgery, and good prognosis rate (ability of daily living [ADL] grading I-III) 3 months after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results:One, 3, and 7 d after surgery, the gross hematoma clearance rate in the endoscopic treatment group was significantly higher than that in the drainage group ( P<0.05). The recurrent hemorrhage rate within 7 d of surgery, intracranial infection rate, and percentage of patients with secondary hydrocephalus requiring shunt within 30 d of surgery in the endoscopic treatment group were significantly lower than those in the drainage group (2.9% vs. 20.6%, 2.9% vs. 23.5%, 5.9% vs. 17.6%, P<0.05). Three months after follow-up, the good prognosis rate of patients in the endoscopic treatment group was significantly higher than that in the drainage group (91.2% vs. 58.9%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Endoscopic-assisted transcallosal approach is recommended in clinical treatment of IVH, which can significantly reduce postoperative complications and improve postoperative prognosis.

Prosthetic loosening and periprosthetic inflammation, as serious complications after joint replacement surgery, often require the secondary surgery for repair, which is easy to adversely affect the physical/mental health and economic status of patients.Studies have shown that the functional phenotype expressed by macrophages by different stimuli, namely macrophage polarization state, prolonged M1 polarization can lead to the continuation of long-term inflammation, while timely and effective M2 macrophage phenotype will lead to enhanced osteogenesis and tissue remodeling cytokine secretion and subsequent osseointegration, which play a crucial role in the development and outcome of prosthetic loosening and periprosthetic inflammation.The local micro-environment of extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important factor in the activation, migration, proliferation and fusion of macrophages. Researchers have deeply understood it mainly through the crosstalk between surface properties of biomaterials and macrophages. As an effector cell, macro-phages can perform complex spatiotemporal cellular functional responses by sensing the physical and chemical environment (surface topography, wettability, chemical composition, biological proteins) represented by surface properties of biomaterials.This paper summarizes the recent findings on macrophage polarization and material surface properties.
