Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of computer image analysis assisted aroundness measurement of gastric gland lumens in well-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma.Methods From January 2016 to July 2016,10 hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) stained slides of pathologically diagnosed well-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma were collected.At the same period,H-E stained slides of gastric epithelial hyperplasia and normal gastric mucosa,six slides of each,were collected as controls.All of them were scanned into high resolution.Digital data roundness,long diameter and short diameter were measured and compared.Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used for statistical analysis.Results The median values of lumen roundness of normal gastric mucosa,gastric epithelial hyperplasia and welldifferentiated gastric adenocarcinoma were 79.7°(10.6°),73.0°(12.3°) and 58.6°(15.2°),respectively,and the difference among three groups was statistically significant (H=494.827,P＜0.01).The values of gland roundness of normal gastric mucosa were higher than those of gastric mucosal hyperplasia and welldifferentiated gastric adenocarcinoma,and the differences were statistically significant (T=156.007 and -508.579,both P＜0.01).The value of gland roundness of gastric mucosal hyperplasia was higher than that of well-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma,and the difference was statistically significant (T=-352.572,P＜0.01).The values of long diameter of gland lumens in normal gastric mucosa,gastric mucosal hyperplasia and well-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma were 24.1 μm(11.8 μm),43.1 μm (28.8 μm),and 96.0 μm(79.3 μm),respectively,and the difference among three groups was statistically significant (H=744.987,P＜0.01).The values of short diameter of gland lumens in normal gastric mucosa,gastric mucosal hyperplasia and well-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma were 16.0 μm (8.7 μm),22.7 μm (13.1 μm) and 33.5 μm (38.0 μm),respectively,and the difference among three groups was statistically significant(H=248.170,P＜0.01).Conclusion The roundness of gastric gland lumens can be used as an effective parameter for the differential diagnosis of normal gastric mucosa,gastric mucosal hyperplasia and well-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To explore the effect of different pregnancy termination timings on the delivery safety of maternal women with pernicious placenta previa after 34 weeks.Methods:A total of 84 patients with pernicious placenta previa in Laoshan Campus of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from March 2018 to March 2019 were selected. The time of admission for delivery was more than 34 weeks. Forty women who pregnant from 34 weeks to 36 weeks of pregnancy was in the study group, 44 women who pregnant over 36 weeks was in the control group, and the pregnancy outcomes of the maternal fetuses of the two groups were compared.Results:The postpartum hemorrhage and the incidence of interventional surgery in the study group were less than those in the control group: (754.58 ± 20.35) ml vs. (1 449.26 ± 512.32) ml, 17.5%(7/40) vs. 52.27%(23/44), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The changes in hematocrit after delivery and before delivery, the amount of hemoglobin after delivery and before delivery, the rate of uterine gauze packing, the rate of Xinmupei, the rate of hysterectomy, the incidence of blood transfusion, the rate of postoperative ICU transfer between two groups hand no significant differences ( P>0.05). The incidence of neonatal birth weight less than 2 500 g and the proportion of transfer to neonatology in the study group were higher than those in the control group: 75.0%(30/40) vs. 11.36%(5/44), 80.0%(32/40) vs. 11.36%(5/44), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant differences in Apgar scores and mortality rate of newborns after birth between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:When the pernicious placenta previa is delivered after 34 weeks, the termination of pregnancy before 36 weeks of gestation is more secure for maternal and fetal health. If the fetal development rate is slow, it is necessary to appropriately extend the delivery time, but don′t exceed 36 weeks.

Objective To evaluate the impact of different anatomical landmarks on registration in imaging-guided radiation (IGRT) for lung cancer. Methods For 20 patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in Fudan University Cancer Hospital, 100 frames of kilo-voltage cone-beam computed tomography scanning were evaluated in this study. The spine, carina and tumor were selected as landmarks for registration, respectively. Results of registration using different landmarks were documented and compared. Results The average set-up errors in the left-right, superiorinferior and anterior-posterior directions were -0. 08 cm ±0. 32 cm, -0. 16 cm ±0. 45 cm and 0. 06 cm ±0. 23 cm with the spine for registration;0. 06 cm ±0. 34 cm, -0. 13 cm ±0. 45 cm and -0. 02 cm±0.23 cm with the carina;and -0. 17 cm ±0.25 cm, 0.03 cm ±0.47 cm and 0. 15 cm ±0.38 cm with tumor. The registration results between using the carina and tumor as landmarks were statistically significant different (q=4.61, P=0. 002 ;q = 2. 23 , P=0. 118;q=3.44, P=0. 017). The registration results were equal when using the spine and tumor as landmarks ( q = 1.85, P = 0. 195; q = 2. 54, P = 0. 075; q = 1.89,P=0. 185), as well as using the carina and tumor as landmarks (q=2.76, P=0. 054;q=0.31, P=0. 826 ;q = 1.55, P = 0. 276). Conclusions For early stage lung cancer, the spine and tumor can be used equally as registration landmarks in imaging-guided SBRT. The carina is not suggested for its poor reproducible position.

Objective To observe the adipose-derived cytokine changes and aggravate cognitive impairment in olanzapine-induced obese rats caused by glucose metabolic disorder.Methods 20 rats fed with ordinary fodder were used as normal control group,olanzapine group of 20 rats fed with olanzapine(1.2 mg · kg-1) and ordinary fodder for 4 weeks.Successfully established experimental model rats induced by olanzapine after 4 weeks.Serum tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukins 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) contents were measured by Elisa.Serum glucose contents were determined by biochemical colorimetric method and blood lipid contents determined with automatic biochemical analyzer.Learning,memory capacity and escape latency were detected with Maze test.Results After administration 4 weeks,the levels of body weight,blood glucose and blood lipid in olanzapine group were higher than those in control group.The serum TNF-α((1.57±0.04) ng/ml),IL-6((127.47±11.38) pg/ml) and CRP ((2.68±0.06) mg/ml) in olanzapine group rised,compared with control group ((0.59±0.03) ng/ml,(96.58± 8.77) pg/ml and (1.86±0.04) mg/ml respectively),the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Electric shocks and escape latency in olanzapine group were higher than those in control group (P＜0.05).The FBS had positive correlation with hs-CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α respectively (r=0.385,0.260,1.280; all P＜0.05).Conclusion Olanzapine can induce metabolic disturbance of blood glucose,blood hpid,and the increase of serum TNF-α,IL-6 and CRP levels in rats.Positive correlation is showed between TNF-of and FBS.Hyperglycemia can promote cell toxicity and leads to cognitive dysfunction in rats.

Objective To study the effect of different dose fractionation on overall survival in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). Methods LS-SCLC patients treated with radical combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) between January 2001 and Dec 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the dose fractionation schemes, patients were divided into three groups:conventional fractionated RT (1. 8 -2.0 Gy,once daily), hyperfractionated RT (1.4 Gy, twice daily) and hypofractionated RT (2. 5 Gy,once daily). Overall survival, disease free survival and pattern of failures of the three groups were compared. A total of 177 patients were enrolled, including 63 patients in conventional fractionated RT group, 79 in hyperfractionated RT group and 35 in hypofractionated RT group. Results The overall follow-up rate was 96. 6%. The patient numbers with follow-up of more than 2 and 5 years were 153 and 92, respectively. The median survival time of the entire group was 22. 4 months, and the 2-and 5-year survival rates were 43.4% and 23. 5%, respectively. The 2-year survival rates for three groups were 31%, 46% and 59% (x2 =7.94,P=0.019), respectively. The 2-year disease free survival for three groups were 20%, 31% and 40% ( x2 = 4. 86, P = 0. 088 ), respectively. In the pairwise comparisons,patients in hypofractionated RT group have better survival than those in conventional fractionated RT group ( x2 = 7. 81, P = 0. 005 ), the effect of hyperfractionated RT group lies between the hypo-and the conventional fractionated RT groups, but no significant differences were detected ( x2 = 2. 31, P = 0. 128; x2 = 2. 95, P =0. 086). The mildest side effect was found in the hypofractionated RT group. No statistically significant differences were found in the patterns of first failure. Conclusion The hypofractionated RT scheme showed potential survival benefits for patients with LS-SCLC and should be considered in the setting of randomized clinical trials.

Objective To assess the rotational set-up errors in patients with thoracic neoplasms. Methods 224 kilovohage cone-beam computed tomography (KVCBCT) scans from 20 thoracic tumor pa-tients were evaluated retrospectively. All these patients were involved in the research of " Evaluation of the residual set-up error for online kilovohage cone-beam CT guided thoracic tumor radiation". Rotational set-up errors, including pitch, roll and yaw, were calculated by 'aligning the KVCBCT with the planning CT, using the semi-automatic alignment method. Results The average rotational set-up errors were -0.28°±1.52°, 0.21°± 0.91° and 0.27°± 0. 78° in the left-fight, superior-inferior and anterior-posterior axis, respective-ly. The maximal rotational errors of pitch, roll and yaw were 3.5°, 2.7° and 2.2°, respectively. After cor-rection for translational set-up errors, no statistically significant changes in rotational error were observed. Conclusions The rotational set-up errors in patients with thoracic neoplasms were all small in magnitude. Rotational errors may not change after the correction for translational set-up errors alone, which should be e-valuated in a larger sample future.
