Objective:To investigate the value of spectral CT based iodine concentration (IC) parameters for preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in gastric cancer.Methods:Between January 2021 and November 2021, 266 patients diagnosed as gastric adenocarcinomas by endoscopy and undergoing gastrectomy at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited prospectively. They were divided into LVI and non-LVI groups according to pathological reports. Triple phase contrasted enhanced CT scans, including arterial phase (AP), venous phase (VP) and delayed phase (DP) were performed on a spectral CT platform within one week before surgery. The IC of gastric cancer lesions at three enhanced phases were measured based on iodine maps, and the normalized IC (nIC) was calculated. The thickness of the tumor was measured. Clinicopathological features were collected, including ulceration, pathological tumor staging (pT), pathological node staging (pN), histodifferentiation, Lauren subtype, perineural invasion (PNI), positive node numbers and positive node ratio. Student′s t tes t or Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the differences of continuous variables between the two groups, while Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test was used for categorical data. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to screen independent risk factors of LVI, and to build a combined parameter based on risk factors. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the predictive efficacy of IC parameters and the combined parameter for LVI. DeLong′s test was used to compare the differences among different area under the curve (AUC). Results:There were statistical differences in tumor thickness, ulceration, pT, pN, histodifferentiation, positive node numbers, positive node ratio, Lauren subtype and PNI between LVI and non-LVI groups ( P<0.05). The values of IC VP, IC DP, nIC VP, nIC DP in LVI group were statistically higher than those in non-LVI group ( t=3.77, 4.23, 4.25, 6.12, all P<0.001), with the AUC (95%CI) of 0.674 (0.610-0.738), 0.677 (0.614-0.741), 0.731 (0.671-0.792), 0.700 (0.636-0.764) for predicting LVI, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that tumor thickness (OR=1.148, 95%CI 1.085-1.237, P<0.001) and nIC VP (OR=209.904, 95%CI 14.874-644.362, P<0.001) were independent predictors for LVI, the combined parameter incorporating these two factors yielded an AUC (95%CI) of 0.790 (0.736-0.937), which was statistically higher than any single parameter of IC VP, IC DP, nIC VP and nIC DP ( Z=3.07, 3.29, 2.10, 2.60, P=0.002, 0.001, 0.036, 0.009). Conclusion:The IC and nIC values of gastric cancer lesions derived from the VP and DP on spectral CT can effectively predict LVI status in gastric adenocarcinomas, and the combination of nIC VP and tumor thickness can further improve the predictive efficacy.

Objective: To investigate the forecasting value of serum fibroblast growth factor 23(FGF23) for major adverse cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: One hundred and five patients with ACS who underwent PCI in the First People′s Hospital of Tianmen City from June 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled. According to the happening of a MACE event occurs, the patients were divided into the MACE group (32 cases) and the non-MACE group (32 cases). The differences of general data, ultrasound indicators and biochemical indicators of patients between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for MACE after PCI in patients with ACS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to predict the predictive value of postoperative MACE in patients with ACS. Results: There were no significant difference in the comparison of general data such as age and gender between the two groups (P>0.05). The Global Registered Risk of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score in the MACE group was significantly higher than that in the non-MACE group [(119.18 ± 11.49) scores vs. (111.57 ± 9.31) scores, P<0.05]. Compared with the non-MACE group, the left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive (CRP), and FGF23 in the MACE group were significantly increased, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly decreased [(52.04 ± 3.43) mm vs. (48.57 ± 3.69) mm, (509.48 ± 52.08) ng/L vs. (474.68 ± 89.27) ng/L, (9.61 ± 2.06) mg/L vs. (7.85 ± 0.83) mg/L, (504.73 ± 82.27) ng/L vs. (331.99 ± 81.68) ng/L, (34.77 ± 2.93)% vs. (37.80 ± 3.62)%] (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that LVEF, CRP, and FGF23 were independent risk factors for MACE after PCI in patients with ACS (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of LVEF that predicted for MACE after PCI in patients with ACS was 0.747,and AUC of CRP and FGF23 were 0.772 and 0.944. The AUC of FGF23 was significantly higher than that of LVEF and CRP (Z = 3.867, 2.698, P<0.05). Conclusions Abnormal elevation of serum FGF23 is associated with cardiovascular adverse events after PCI in patients with ACS, which can be used as a serum indicator for early assessment of poor cardiovascular outcomes in patients.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the plasma trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) level and the disease severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods:The clinical data of 200 patients with ACS (ACS group) and 90 chest discomfort patients without obvious coronary artery disease (control group) in Department of Cardiology Medicine, the First People′s Hospital of Tianmen City, Hubei Province, from June 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The plasma TMAO level were detected by high performance liquid chromatography tandem spectroscopy with stable isotope dilution. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricle diameter (LAD), left ventricular posterior wall end-systolic thickness (PWS) and left ventricular posterior wall end-diastolic thickness (LVPWT) were examined by color ultrasound. The diagnostic value of plasma TMAO for ACS was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Correlation was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Results:The TMAO, LAD, PWS and LVPWT in ACS group were significantly higher than those in control group: (6.33 ± 1.31) μmol/L vs. (3.75 ± 1.11) μmol/L, (39.63 ± 8.89) mm vs. (31.90 ± 8.79) mm, (12.88 ± 1.76) mm vs. (7.00 ± 1.27) mm and (13.45 ± 2.51) mm vs. (8.97 ± 2.00) mm, the LVEF was significantly lower than that in control group: (44.63 ± 10.00)% vs. (59.71 ± 11.58)%, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). ROC curve analysis result showed that when the optimal cutoff value of plasma TMAO was 4.83 μmol/L, the area under curve (AUC) was 0.942, and its sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing ACS were 87.50% and 88.89%; when the optimal cutoff value of plasma TMAO was 4.66 μmol/L, the AUC was 0.908, and its sensitivity and specificity of early diagnosis of ACS were 88.00% and 83.33%. The correlation analysis result showed that the plasma TMAO had negative correlation with LVEF in patients with ACS ( r=-0.715, P<0.01), and positive correlation with LAD, PWS and LVPWT ( r=0.715, 0.746 and 0.729; P<0.01). Conclusions:The plasma TMAO level in patients with ACS is significantly increased, which is related to the level of heart function. Plasma TMAO can be used as an indicator of early diagnosis and severity assessment of ACS.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effectiveness and economics of 10 mg/d rosuvastatin and 20 mg/d atorvastatin in the treatment of hyperlipidemia (HLP). METHODS:The information of 180 HLP patients selected from Tianmen Municipal First People's Hospital during Mar. 2015-Feb. 2016 were divided into group A and B according to medication regimen,with 90 cases in each group. Group A was given Atorvastatin calcium tablet 20 mg,qd;group B was given Rosuvastatin calcium tablet 10 mg,qd. Treatment course of 2 groups lasted for 8 weeks. Blood lipid indexes before and after treatment,lipid-lowering efficacy,the rate of qualified blood lipid and the occurrence of ADR after treatment were compared between 2 groups. Cost-effectiveness analysis was adopted for economic evaluation. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of blood lipid in-dexes between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,TC and LDL-C levels of 2 groups were significantly lower than before treat-ment,and those of group B were significantly lower than those of group A,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Total response rate of lipid-lowering in group B(97.78％)was significantly higher than group A(86.67％),and the rate of qualified blood lipid (66.67％)was also significantly higher than group A(51.11％),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). The costs of group A and B were 488.32,436.24 yuan,and cost-effectiveness ratios were 5.63,4.46;incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was -4.69. The plan of group B had cost-effective-ness advantage. The results of cost-effectiveness analysis were supported by sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS:In the view of short-term efficacy,10 mg/d rosuvastatin plan is better than 20 mg/d atorvastatin plan in lowering lipid and has cost-effectiveness advantage,and both have similar safety.

Objective To explore the influence of delineator and contouring criteria training on the delineation of the tumor bed and whole breast target after breast-conserving surgery.Methods Twelve brcast cancer patients after breast conserving surgery were selected.Tumor bed marked by clips was defined as gross target volume 1 (GTV1),tumor bed formed by seroma was defined as GTV2 and the whole breast was defined as clinical target volume (CTV).Five junior radiation oncologists first delineated GTV1,GTV2 and CTV for each patient following their own criteria.After contouring criteria training,they then delineated GTV1,GTV2 and CTV for the same group of patients again.The differences of the volumes of GTV1,GTV2 and CTV before and after training among different delineators were compared.One-way ANOVA or matching t-test was performed.Results The inter-delineator variability on GTV1,GTV2 and CTV delineation before training was statistically significant (F =11.16,7.54 and 3.78,P =0.000,0.000 and 0.009).After training,the inter-delineator variability on GTV1 and GTV2 delineation had statistical significance (t =4.78 and 4.24,P =0.002 and 0.005),but the inter-delineator variability on CTV delineation had no statistical significance (t =1.52,P =0.209).The coefficient of variance of the GTV1,GTV2 and CTV before and after training was significantly different (t =3.14,2.81,2.70,P =0.009,0.017 and 0.021).The matching index of GTV1,GTV2 and CTV before and after training was significantly different (F =16.08,8.61,8.48,P =0.000,0.000 and 0.000).Conclusions In delineating the target of breast cancer,application of the criteria of target delineation can reduce the difference among the delineators,especially for CTV.
