Objective: To develop a modified calculation formula for renal tumor volume and tumor contact surface area (CSA) based on the modeling results of 3D Slicer software, and to create a webpage of the calculation formula for use. Methods: The general information and tumor anatomical data of 98 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy during Jan.2021 and Jul.2023 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were retrospectively analyzed.The imaging data were input into 3D Slicer software in the form of Dicom files for tumor and ipsilateral kidney modeling to obtain tumor anatomical data.The relationship between tumor anatomical parameters and tumor volume and CSA was analyzed using multifactorial linear regression.The initial modified formulas (V2, C2) and the optimized modified formulas (V3, C3) for tumor volume over CSA were established, respectively, after insignificant variables were eliminated.The mean square error (MSE) and Akaike information criterion (AIC) of the modified and traditional formulas (V1, C1) were compared, and the formula with the smallest MSE and AIC was selected as the optimal tumor volume and CSA calculation formula.The median tumor volume and CSA obtained from 3D modeling were used as the cutoff values.The optimal formula and conventional formula were applied to calculate tumor volume and CSA for all patients, and risk stratification was performed for all patients based on these cutoff values, and the perioperative indicators of patients in the upper and lower groups were compared.Finally, an online calculation tool was developed based on HTML. Results: Based on multifactorial linear regression analysis, we obtained the modified tumor volume calculation formula: V=0.382abc+2.488a+2.372b-4.146c+1.948(V2), V=0.469abc-4.586c+13.816(V3); the modified tumor CSA calculation formula CSA=2.469a
-2.262L
-19.23a+6.206b+1.212c+18.017L+1.616h-3.97h
-2.185h/h
-0.388(C2), CSA=2.376a
-2.144L
-20.157a+5.024b+1.128c+17.578L+2.525h-2.634(C3).Both of the modified volume formula (MSE=151.298 vs. 127.807 vs. 104.106) and modified CSA formula (MSE=309.878 vs.23.556 vs.30.388) had smaller errors compared to the conventional formula.The modified volume calculation formula showed that bleeding was more and thermal ischemia time was longer in patients with larger tumor volumes than in patients with smaller tumor volumes (P<0.05); and the modified CSA calculation formula showed that bleeding was more, surgery and thermal ischemia time were longer in patients with high CSA than in patients with low CSA (P<0.05).Finally, V3 and C3 are selected as the best calculation formula, and a web page (https://lizihao-bot.github.io/RCC-Calculate/) was established for easy use. Conclusion: This study combined data from a medical information technology platform with numerical modeling methods to provide a faster and more accurate method to calculate the renal tumor volume and CSA.Meanwhile, a webpage version of the tool was developed to enhance its practicability.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of preoperative coagulation function and inflammation response biomarkers for postoperative recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients.Methods:The clinical data of 390 NMIBC patients underwent surgical treatment from May 2014 to May 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University were retrospectively analyzed. The baseline characteristics coagulation function, inflammation response indexes and tumor characteristics were recorded. The baseline characteristics included gender, age and smoking history; the coagulation function included prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB) and D-dimer; the inflammation response indexes included neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count and monocyte count, and the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were calculated; tumor characteristics included TNM stage, pathological grade, tumor length, tumor amount and postoperative instillation drugs. The patients were followed up until May 2022, with recurrence records and grouping. The "pROC" package was used to draw the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and calculate the optimal cutoff values of biomarkers. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of recurrence in patients with NMIBC (variables were selected with P<0.1). The nomogram and its calibration curve were drawn by the "survival" and "rms" packages, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated with the "pROC" package for assessing the predictive ability of the model. The "caret" package was used for ten-fold cross-validation to evaluate the external applicability of the nomogram. Results:The ROC curve analysis result showed that the optimal cutoff values of PT, APTT, FIB, D-dimer, SIRI and SII were 11.95 s, 17.65 s, 0.233 mg/L, 565 ng/L, 0.62 and 291.5, respectively. The 390 patients with NMIBC were followed up 29 to 71 months, with a median follow-up time of 49 months. Among them, 113 patients experienced postoperative recurrence (recurrence group), and the recurrence rate was 29.0%; while 277 patients did not experience recurrence (non-recurrence group). The rate of FIB≥0.233 mg/L, D-dimmer ≥565 ng/L, SIRI≥0.62 and SII≥291.5, T 1 stage, high-grade tumor, tumor length ≥2.3 cm and multiple tumor in recurrence group were significantly higher than those in non-recurrence group: 90.3% (102/113) vs. 71.5% (198/277), 33.6% (38/113) vs. 23.5% (65/277), 74.3% (84/113) vs. 56.7% (157/277), 84.1% (95/113) vs. 60.6% (168/277), 77.9% (88/113) vs. 38.6% (107/277), 25.7% (29/113) vs. 8.3% (23/277), 49.6% (56/113) vs. 32.1% (89/277) and 41.6% (47/113) vs. 19.9% (55/277), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05); there were no statistical differences in gender ratio, age, smoking history, PT, APTT and postoperative instillation drugs between the two groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis result showed that FIB≥0.233 mg/L, SII≥291.5, T 1 stage, high pathological grade, tumor length≥2.3 cm and multiple tumor were independent risk factors of postoperative recurrence in patients with NMIBC ( HR = 2.186, 1.627, 3.182, 1.675, 1.775 and 2.052; 95% CI 1.149 to 4.159, 0.913 to 2.902, 1.988 to 5.095, 1.067 to 2.630, 1.208 to 2.608 and 1.388 to 3.033; P<0.1). A nomogram model was constructed to predict postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year non-recurrence based on FIB, SII, T stage, tumor length, pathological grade and tumor amount. The calibration curve analysis result showed that the nomogram model predicted good consistency between the postoperative 1-, 3-, 5-year non-recurrence rates and the actual incidence rate in patients with NMIBC. ROC curve analysis result showed that the AUC of the nomogram model for predicting postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year non-recurrence in patients with NMIBC were 0.746, 0.789 and 0.835 (95% CI 0.695 to 0.832, 0.703 to 0.875 and 0.756 to 0.915). The ten-fold cross-validation result showed that the nomogram model had good external applicability for predicting postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year non-recurrence in patients with NMIBC, with AUC of 0.754, 0.781 and 0.832 (95% CI 0.689 to 0.817, 0.724 to 0.832 and 0.778 to 0.879). Conclusions:The nomogram model based on FIB, SII, T stage, tumor length, pathological grade and tumor amount can accurately predict the postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year recurrence risks in patients with NMIBC. The model helps clinical doctors early identify high-risk recurrent NMIBC patients, and provides reference for the development of individualized treatment plans.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) and chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13) in the recurrence of breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy.Methods:The data of 92 patients with breast cancer who underwent modified radical mastectomy in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected. The clinical data and follow-up data of the patients were inquired, and the patients were divided into recurrence group (9 cases) and non-recurrence group (83 cases) according to the recurrence in the 3-year follow-up data. The clinical data and serum DKK1 and CXCL13 levels before and 1-day after operation were compared between the two groups. COX regression model was used to analyze the relationship between serum DKK1, CXCL13 and recurrence. The interaction of serum DKK1 and CXCL13 on recurrence was analyzed by interaction. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn and the decision curve was constructed to further analyze the predictive value of serum DKK1 and CXCL13 on recurrence.Results:The preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 125, the proportion of patients with poorly differentiated tumor, the proportion of patients with TNM stage Ⅲ, the serum DKK1 and CXCL13 before and 1-day after operation in the recurrence group were higher than those in the non-recurrence group: (41.12 ± 5.38) kU/L vs. (34.67 ± 6.69) kU/L, 5/9 vs. 12.05% (10/83), 6/9 vs. 16.87% (14/83), (4.89 ± 0.78) μg/L vs. (3.54 ± 0.67) μg/L, (187.02 ± 25.04) ng/L vs. (154.37 ± 28.10) ng/L, (3.73 ± 0.33) μg/L vs. (3.46 ± 0.35) ng/L, there were statistical differences( P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that recurrence of breast cancer patients after modified radical mastectomy were related to preoperative serum DKK1 and CXCL13, and the high expression of both might be a risk factor for postoperative recurrence ( P<0.05). The expression of DKK1 and CXCL13 in serum before operation had a positive interaction on the recurrence. When they were both highly expressed, the risk of recurrence after operation was 9.600 times that of both low expression, and the synergistic effect was38.656 times that of the sum of the effects of both alone.The ROC curve showed that the area under the curveof preoperative serum DKK1 and CXCL13 alone and jointly to predict the recurrence were 0.906, 0.823 and 0.964, respectively, which had ideal predictive value. The decision curve showed that when the threshold was 0.07 to 0.20 and 0.4 to 1.0, the net return rate of combined prediction of preoperative serum DKK1 and CXCL13 for the recurrence risk of breast cancer patients after modified radical mastectomywas higher, and the maximum net return rate was 0.098. Conclusions:The recurrence of breast cancer patients after modified radical mastectomy may be related to the abnormal levels of serum DKK1 and CXCL13 before surgery. The higher the preoperative serum DKK1 and CXCL13 levels, the higher the risk of recurrence after surgery. Combined detection of serum DKK1 and CXCL13 before surgery in breast cancer patients can effectively predict the risk of recurrence after surgery.
