Objective To develop and evaluate the digital discrimination system for pancreatic ultrasound endoscopy images. Methods EUS images of 153 pancreatic cancer and 63 non-cancer cases were selected. According to the multi-fractal feature vectors based on the M-band wavelet transform, we acquired the fractal features with lower dimension with the feature screening algorithm. With the optimal feature combination, cases were classified into pancreatic cancer group and non-pancreatic cancer group automatically.Then the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of this method were calculated, and compared with those of traditional 9 dimension fractal feature vectors. Results Three kinds of multi-fractal dimensions were introduced to the framework of M-band wavelet transform according to the EUS images to form fractal vectors of 18 dimension. With the selection by sequence forward search (SFS) algorithm, 7 dimension of feature vectors were chosen and were combined with bi-order multi-fractal dimension to a better feature combination. The Bayes, support vector machine (SVM) and ModestAdaBoost classifiers were introduced to evaluate the classification efficiency, resulting in a classification accuracy of 97.98% and short running time of 0. 49 s with lower feature dimension. Conclusion These data suggest the feasibility, accuracy, noninvasiveness and efficacy of classification of EUS images to differentiate pancreatic cancer from normal tissue based on the Mband wavelet transform algorithm. It is a new and valuable research area in diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:For severe skin defects which are deep to dermis, engineered skin with epidermis and dermis (bilayered) is required. Based on the success of engineering epidermis with GT/PCL electrospun membranes, our study was to investigate whether this membrane could be also used for engineering bilayered skin graft.Methods:From 2013 to 2019, we first prepared three GT/PCL electrospun membranes with different proportion (70∶30; 50∶50; 30∶70) in our laboratory; the biocompatibility of the membrane was evaluated in vitro by seeding fibroblasts or keratinocytes on the membranes. Then the outcome of GT/PCL membranes repairing skin defects in the nude mouse was investigated.Results:Cell attachment and proliferation were significantly improved with increase of gelatin. Histological analyses showed that bilayered skin engineered with GT/PCL (70∶30) group could form relatively better structure after 3 weeks of cultivation in vitro. Further in vivo transplantation studies revealed that scaffolds were not degraded in all three groups, indicating that these materials were not suitable for engineering bilayered skin although they had good biocompatibility.Conclusions:The higher gelatin membranes possess better biocompatibility. Further in vivo transplantation studies reveal that bilayered skin engineered with GT/PCL membranes is able to repair skin defects in the nude mouse.

Objective:To retrospect the treatment and clinical effect of craniometaphyseal dysplasia(CMD), and summarize the experience of cranial reconstruction and nasal deformity correction in the management of this case.Methods:From June 2004 to June 2018, three male CMD patients of Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital who received treatment. One patient was 1 year-old child who received drug therapy. A 5 year-old boy was treated with nasal cavity expansion and orbital hypertelorism for plastic and reconstructive surgery. The 7 year-old patient received cranial reconstruction and nasal deformity correction. Moreover, surgical treatments from 1967 to 2017 in the literatures on CMD were reviewed.Results:Indicators (Ca, ATP, PTH) in the laboratory of the first child returned to normal after medication treatment, and there was no obvious abnormality in the following 2 months. Nasal cavity of the second case was enlarged and function of the nose was improved, and interorbital distance was reduced by 16-17 mm. However, cranial facial deformation was not ameliorated obviously. For the third patient, scaphocephaly deformity was significantly improved. Skull thickness decreased from 3cm to 1-2 cm, the anteroposterior diameter of the skull was shortened up to 6 cm. The immediate review of dd dimer was 4.25 mg/L, FDP was 20.6 μg/ml, which was significantly higher than preoperative tests (dd dimer 0.98 mg/L, FDP 7.24 μg/ml). Two weeks after surgery, the patient received skull debridement due to ineffective anti-infective treatment. Ten months later, the child was admitted to the hospital because of infection. CT scan showed bone resorption, and we treated him with skull debridement and cranioplasty. Following 16 months, the patient was in a stable condition without complications until now.Conclusions:Drug therapy has a potential role in CMD treatment. However, surgery is the only effective management of it, although there will be a high risk and many complications, and the patients need repeated operations.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value and effect of the application of computer navigation system in orbital-zygomatic fibrous dysplasia.Methods:From March 2016 to December 2018, 16 patients with orbital-zygomatic fibrous dysplasia admitted to Shanghai 9th People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were included in this study. CT scans and computer aided designs were finished preoperatively. By mirrored and compared with the healthy side, preoperative-designed lesion removal area was determined and surgical regions were highlighted. Digital reference frame was fixed rigidly to patient’s forehead. After accurate registration, lesion area was removed with the aid of surgical navigation system according to preoperative-designed plan restrictively through lower eyelid-intraoral approach. The symmetric morphology of orbital-zygomatic region was analyzed postoperatively. Zygomaxillare, oribitale, zygomaticand lower orbital point of zygomatic maxillary were marked both in preoperative and postoperative three-dimensional reconstructions, and the distance between them and mid-sagittal plane was measured. Paired- t tests were applied in this study for symmetric analysis. Results:In this study, 16 patients with orbital zygomatic bone fiber dysplasia assisted by computer navigation were included, consisted of 12 males and 4 females, ranging from 18 years old to 35 years old. The differences of preoperative symmetric analysis in zygomaxillare, oribitale, zygomatic had statistical significance( P<0.01). The difference of preoperative symmetric analysis in lower orbital point of zygomatic maxillary had no statistical significance( P>0.05). The differences of postoperative symmetric analysis in zygomaxillare, oribitale, zygomatic and lower orbital point of zygomatic maxillary had no statistical significance( P>0.05). The difference in zygomaxillare decreased from(10.1±6.2) mm to(2.7±6.4) mm. The difference in oribitale(ORI)decreased from(7.7±4.6) mm to(1.9±3.9) mm.
