Objective To investigate the effect of hypoxic preconditioning on hepatocytes early growth response factor 1 ( EGR-1 ) in a rat liver autotransplantation. Methods The rat portal vein perfusion model was established for donor liver autotransplantation. Rats were then divided into group A:hypoxic preconditioning was done before transplantation; group B: rats undergoing liver transplantation without preconditioning; group C: Normal control group of rats. Liver histopathological changes, the mRNA expression of HIF-1, TNF-1 and the WB results of EGR-1 were compared between groups. Results The expression of HIF-1 α RNA determined in group A was more obvious than in group B and group C. Six hours after surgery, the expression in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (t =9. 601, df= 10, 2-tailed Sig = 0. 000, P<0. 05 ) ; Egr-1 protein expression in group A and group B increased after surgery,with that in group A being significantly lower than that in group B. The RT-PCR expression of TNF-α RNA in group B compared with group A and group C was more obvious. Six hours after operation, the expression of TNF in group B was significantly higher than that in group A ( t = -12. 067, df = 10, 2-tailed Sig =0. 000, P<0. 05 ). The expression of Egr-1 was positively correlated with that of TNF. A liver cell pathology showed less severe injury in structure of hepatic lobule, mild swelling of liver cells, no significant changes in liver tissue. Conclusions Hypoxic preconditioning adaptation in rat liver transplantation generates modest increase in EGR-1, and reduces the production of TNF and other inflammatory factors.

Objective:To develop and validate a cascaded deep learning algorithm for kidney stone detection on plain CT images.Methods:Plain CT images of the patients with kidney stones were retrospectively archived from January 2018 to July 2018 in Peking University First Hospital. The cases were divided into two datasets according to the date of the CT scanning: training dataset （ n=30) and held-out test dataset （ n=29). The development of the kidney stone detection method consisted of three steps. First, a U-Net model was trained on the training dataset for kidney segmentation, and the model′s performance was estimated with the dice coefficient. Second, the thresholding and region growing methods were used to detect the stones in the renal region predicted by the trained U-Net model. Third, the stones′ lengths （maximal, middle and minimal length) and CT attenuation were calculated and integrated into a structured report automatically. Using the radiologist′s labels and measurements (maximal, middle, minimal length and CT attenuation) as ground truth, the stone detection algorithm performance was evaluated with sensitivity, specificity and precision, and the stone measurement algorithm performance was evaluated with Bland-Altman plots. Results:The held-out test dataset consisted of 29 cases, containing 58 kidneys and 11 358 CT slices. The 38 kidneys containing 56 stones and 20 kidneys did not contain stones. The U-Net model showed good performance, with a mean dice coefficient of 0.96. And 10 945 of 11 358 CT slices had a dice coefficient no less than 0.90. The sensitivity, precision, and specificity of stone detection were 100% （38/38), 100% （38/38) and 100% （20/20) in the organ-level. The sensitivity and precision of stone detection were 100% （56/56) and 96.6% （56/58) in the lesion-level.Conclusion:A cascaded algorithm is constructed and can be used to detect kidney stones in plain CT images. The algorithm can improve efficiency with results automatically integrated into the structured report in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the influence of low-dose ionizing radiation on the expression level of serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in radiation workers in hospitals.Methods:183 radiation workers were randomly selected and grouped by work type including interventional radiology ( n=37), nuclear medicine ( n=43), radiotherapy ( n=48), and diagnostic radiology ( n=55). The content of IGFBP-3 in the serum of radiation workers was detected by ELISA assay. Results:It was observed that the expression level of serum IGFBP-3 in the four groups had significant differences ( F=6.056, P<0.05), and the content of serum IGFBP-3 in the interventional radiology group was significantly higher than that of nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, and diagnostic radiology groups ( t= 2.815, 3.611, 3.936, P<0.05). The concentration of IGFBP-3 in the serum of radiation workers among different annual effective dose groups was statistically different ( F=8.380, P<0.05), which gradually increased with the increase of annual effective dose and length of service ( rs=0.202, 0.151, P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression level of serum IGFBP-3 has the potential to be used as a biomarker to reflect the cumulative exposure of long-term chronic low-dose ionizing radiation.
