Objective To quantitatively analyze the fetal lung echo and right lung volume in the third trimester by real-time three-dimensional ultrasound (3-D US) and evaluate the feasibility of fetal lung maturity. Methods A total of 732 women with normal singleton pregnancies between 28 and 42 weeks of gestation underwent ultrasound examination. The 3-D US equipment with a 3.5-5MHz transabdominal transducer was used for the fetal biometric measurement. The echogenicity ratio between fetal lung and liver was compared. The fetal lung volume was calculated by the rotational multiplanar technique for volume measurement (VOCAL). Results The right fetal lung volume increased with the increase of gestational age with a linear positive correlation (r=0.884, P<0.01). After 34 weeks, the echogenicity ratio of fetal lung to liver was more than 1.1. Conclusion The echogenicity of lung/liver and fetal lung volume could be used as normal fetal predictable indicators for fetal lung maturity.

[Objective] To determine the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) inspection of spirit classification and the severity grade of depression based on facial features, offering insights for intelligent intergrated TCM and western medicine diagnosis of depression. [Methods] Using the Audio-Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop (AVEC 2014) public dataset on depression, which conclude 150 interview videos, the samples were classified according to the TCM inspection of spirit classification: Deshen (得神, presence of spirit), Shaoshen (少神, insufficiency of spirit), and Shenluan (神乱, confusion of spirit). Meanwhile, based on Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) score for the severity grade of depression, the samples were divided into minimal (0 – 13, Q1), mild (14 – 19, Q2), moderate (20 – 28, Q3), and severe (29 – 63, Q4). Sixty-eight landmarks were extracted with a ResNet-50 network, and the feature extracion mode was stadardized. Random forest and support vectior machine (SVM) classifiers were used to predict TCM inspection of spirit classification and the severity grade of depression, respectively. A Chi-square test and Apriori association rule mining were then applied to quantify and explore the relationships. [Results] The analysis revealed a statistically significant and moderately strong association between TCM spirit classification and the severity grade of depression, as confirmed by a Chi-square test (χ2 = 14.04, P = 0.029) with a Cramer’s V effect size of 0.243. Further exploration using association rule mining identified the most compelling rule: “moderate depression (Q3) → Shenluan”. This rule demonstrated a support level of 5%, indicating this specific co-occurrence was present in 5% of the cohort. Crucially, it achieved a high Confidence of 86%, meaning that among patients diagnosed with Q3, 86% exhibited the Shenluan pattern according to TCM assessment. The substantial Lift of 2.37 signifies that the observed likelihood of Shenluan manifesting in Q3 patients is 2.37 times higher than would be expected by chance if these states were independent—compelling evidence of a highly non-random association. Consequently, Shenluan emerges as a distinct and core TCM diagnostic manifestation strongly linked to Q3, forming a clinically significant phenotype within this patient subgroup. [Conclusion] Automated facial analysis can serve as a common lens for TCM and western psychological assessments align in the diagnosis of depression. The inspection of spirit decline trajectory parallels worsening depression, supporting early screening and stratified intervention, and providing a reference for the intelligent assistance of integrated TCM and western medicine in the diagnosis of depression.

Objective To study the differences between the animal model of pulmonary injury/ fibrosis induced by using paraquat and that induced by using bleomycin in mice in order to establish an ideal mouse pulmonary fibrosis model.Methods Thirty healthy and 8 ～ 10 weeks old male C57BL/6J (C57) mice were randomly (random number) divided into paraquat group (n =10),bleomycin group (n =10),and control group (n =10).Paraquat ( 10 mg/kg) was given to mice intraperitoneally once every three days for 5 times in paraquat group.Bleomycin was injected into trachea of mice in a dose of 3 mg /kg in bleomycin group.The mice were sacrificed 7 days,14 days and 21 days after administration of drug.The general physical condition,body weight and pulmonary pathological changes were observed.Data were analyzed with SPSS13.0 statistical package.The comparison was made between two groups with mann -whitney U- test.Results Both agents could induce pulmonary injury and fibrosis.After comparison of survival rate,body weight,pulmonary histopathological change and rate of successful modelling,the repeated low - dose of paraquat injected intraperitoneally was proved to be a method of more simple and effective with high success rate of modeling in comparison with the conventional technique of intratracheal injection of bleomycin.Conclusions By the comparison between two methods of establishing pulmonary injury and fibrosis models in mice,the method of repeated low - dose intraperitoneal injection of paraquat is superior over the bleomycin - induced method in respect of higher rate of successful modelling.

Objective:To compare the treatment outcomes of neoadjoint therapy combined with liver transplantation versus radical hepatectomy for patients with surgically resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:A retrospective study was performed on the data of 64 patients with resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma operated from January 2009 to December 2014 at the Organ Transplantation Department of the First Central Hospital of Tianjin. There were 43 males and 21 females, with an average age of 61.2 years. There were 45 patients who underwent radical hepatectomy in the liver resection group, and 19 patients who underwent combined neoadjuvant therapy (radiotherapy combined with 5-fluorouracil intravenous drip, transcatheter lumen radiotherapy, capecitabine oral administration) and liver transplantation in the liver transplantation group. The recurrence rates and survival rate were compared between groups.Results:The 1, 3 and 5 years cumulative survival rates of the liver transplantation group were 89.5%, 73.7% and 63.2%, respectively, which were significantly better than those of the liver resection group (80.0%, 53.3% and 35.6%) ( P<0.05). The postoperative tumor recurrence rate in the liver transplantation group was 31.6% (6/19), which was significantly lower than that in the liver resection group of 60.0% (27/45) ( P<0.05). Subgroup analysis using postoperative pathological results showed the cumulative survival rates of patients without lymph node metastasis (N 0) and those with negative resection margins (R 0) were not significantly different between groups ( P>0.05). However, for patients with regional lymph node invasion (N 1) and with R 0 resection margin, the cumulative survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years after liver transplantation were 83.3%, 66.7% and 50.0%, respectively, which were significantly superior to the 64.3%, 28.6% and 14.3% of the liver resection group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Hepatectomy is recommended for patients with N 0 R 0 resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. For patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma with marginally resectable N 1R 0, neoadjuvant therapy combined with liver transplantation resulted in significantly better long-term overall survival than resection.

Objective To compare the difference of clinical efficacy between surgical magnifying glass and surgical microscope assisted hepatic artery reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Methods Clinical data of 272 donors and recipients undergoing LDLT were retrospectively analyzed. According to different patterns of hepatic artery reconstruction, all recipients were divided into the magnifying glass group (n=189) and microscope group (n=83). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hepatic artery reconstruction site, diameter of anastomosis, incidence of postoperative complications and survival rate of recipients were statistically compared between two groups. Results Compared with the microscope group, the operation time, hepatic artery reconstruction time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly less in the magnifying glass group (all P < 0.001). The most common site of hepatic artery reconstruction was the right hepatic artery in two groups, and the diameter of anastomosis was (2.1±0.9) mm in the magnifying glass group and (2.1±0.8) mm in the microscope group, with no statistical significance between two groups (P > 0.05). The 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates of recipients in the magnifying glass group were 88%, 86% and 85%, which did not significantly differ from 89%, 87% and 86% in the microscope group (all P > 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications did not significantly differ between two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusions The efficacy and safety of hepatic artery reconstruction in LDLT under surgical magnifying glass are equivalent to those under surgical microscope, with less operation workload and intraoperative blood loss. For experienced transplantation surgeons, it is recommended to perform hepatic artery reconstruction assisted by surgical magnifying glass.

Objective To investigate the dose calculation accuracy of two algorithms in Monaco TPS for self-made phantoms with different cavity thickness, and analyze the influence of phantoms with different cavity thickness on dose verification of upper esophageal cancer. Methods The phantoms with different cavity thickness were placed on the simulated CT positioning machine to scan and acquire images. In Monaco TPS, the irradiation fields with energy of 6 MV, 100 MU and different square field sizes were added to the acquired images. The dose of the cavity of the ionization chamber was calculated by two algorithms, and measured on the accelerator by dosimeter under the same conditions. At the same time, 20 patients with upper esophageal cancer who received dynamic intensity modulation in fixed field were randomly selected and included in the study, and two algorithms were used for dose verification on phantoms with different cavity thickness. The results were statistically analyzed by SPSS 22.0 software. Results The maximum deviations between the calculated values and the measured values were 0.66% and −1.8%, in the calculation of phantoms with different cavity thickness by algorithms of Monte Carlo and Pencil Beam. In Monte Carlo algorithm, the result of RD pair t test is P > 0.05. Paired t test of AD (0 mm, 10 mm), (5 mm, 10 mm) and (10 mm, 20 mm) groups showed no significant difference (P < 0.05). The maximum deviation was 1.1%, and the rest groups were not statisticely significant (P > 0.05); In Pencil Beam algorithm the t test results of RD (0 mm, 20 mm) and (5 mm, 20 mm) pairs were (P < 0.05), the maximum deviation was 0.58%, and the rest groups were (P > 0.05). In AD group, (P < 0.05), the maximum deviation was 2.78%; The paired t test between the two algorithms was (P < 0.05), and the maximum deviations in RD and AD groups were 2.49% and 4.14%, respectively. Conclusion Monte Carlo algorithm has accurate calculation and high gamma pass rate of dose verification, and there is no clinical difference in gamma pass rate of dose verification among phantoms with different cavity thickness, pencil Beam algorithm is not recommended in cavity phantom calculation.
