The clinical application of binocular endoscope relies primarily on the visual system of physicians to create a three-dimensional effect, but it cannot provide accurate depth information. The utilization of 3D reconstruction technology in binocular endoscopy can facilitate the recovery of image depth information, and the application of deep learning-based 3D reconstruction technology can significantly improve the accuracy and real-time performance of reconstruction results, making it widely applicable in the realm of minimally invasive surgery. This paper aims to explore the key technologies and implementation methods of deep learning based 3D reconstruction for binocular endoscopic images, and seeks to outline strategies for enhancing the quality of 3D reconstruction in endoscopic images, providing guidance for sustainable development of binocular endoscopic image reconstruction technology in clinical settings. This will assist in the application of minimally invasive surgery and contribute to meeting the demands of precision medicine.

Objective : To learn the association between dietary patterns and thyroid cancer in Hangzhou residents, and to provide evidence for thyroid cancer prevention. Methods: The newly diagnosed patients with thyroid cancer in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital were selected as the case group, while the healthy population matched (1∶1) by gender, age and residence were selected from community as the control group. A questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain demographic characteristics, disease history, dietary intake, lifestyle and other information. The dietary patterns were established by factor analysis. The multivariate conditional logistic regression model was conducted to explore the relationship between different dietary patterns and thyroid cancer. Results: A total of 258 pairs of cases and controls were recruited. Five dietary patterns were obtained, including vegetarian pattern, high-protein food pattern, salted vegetables and algae pattern, seafood and cereal pattern, as well as alcohol and tea pattern. The multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis suggested seafood and cereal pattern might reduce the risk of thyroid cancer (OR=0.286, 95%CI: 0.146-0.561). Conclusion More consumption of seafood and cereal may decrease the incidence of thyroid cancer.

Objective:To construct a Nomogram model in predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) at six months, one year and two years after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resection by using inflammatory markers combined with other routine clinical indicators.Methods:The data of 314 patients with HCC who underwent first time hepatectomy at Beijing Chaoyang Emergency Rescue Center and Air Force Characteristic Medical Center from January 2013 to January 2018 were analyzed. HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy at the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2011 to January 2016 ( n=106) were used as the external validation group. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze independent risk factors of recurrence and death in HCC patients. A Nomogram model was constructed based on independent risk factors. Validation of the efficacy of the Nomogram model was done based on external data. Results:In the experimental group, 174 patients relapsed. The median RFS was 26 months. The 6 months, 1 year and 2 years RFS were 26.8%, 43.9%, and 68.8%, respectively. A total of 142 patients had died. The median survival time was 30 months. The 6 months, 1 year and 2 years OS were 5.9%, 23.6% and 63.1%, respectively. In the external validation group, 63 patients had developed recurrence, with a median RFS time of 28 months. The 6 months, 1 year and 2 years RFS were 26.4%, 45.3%, 54.7%, respectively. The median survival time was 31 months. The 6 months, 1 year and 2 years OS were 7.5%, 25.5%, 46.6%, respectively. Tumor size (>6.0 cm, HR: 1.447), vascular invasion ( HR: 1.408), TBil (>0.94 mg/dl, HR: 1.949), NLR (>2.54, HR: 2.843), AGR (≤0.88, HR: 2.447) were independent risk factors of HCC recurrence ( P<0.05). Tumor size (>6.0 cm, HR: 2.207), vascular invasion ( HR: 1.529), and NLR (>2.54, HR: 2.708) were independent risk factors of death for HCC patients ( P<0.05). The C-indexes of half-year, one-year and two-year RFS were 0.764 (95% CI: 0.677-0.854), 0.710 (95% CI: 0.615-0.824) and 0.673 (95% CI: 0.601-0.786), respectively. The C-indexes of half-year OS, one-year OS and two-year OS were 0.729 (95% CI: 0.648-0.841), 0.708 (95% CI: 0.608-0.813) and 0.664 (95% CI: 0.618-0.771), respectively. Conclusion:In this study, the construction of a Nomogram model in predicting prognosis of HCC patients was helpful to guide clinicians in improving preoperative treatment plans and in providing ideas for individualized treatment of patients.

Objective To make a cost-effectiveness analysis for stereotactic radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy using linear accelerators against malignant tumors, then to provide references for choosing a more cost-effective radiotherapy for the patient. Methods Basic information of patients subject to radiotherapy(gender, age, date of admission, days of hospital stay), hospitalization cost, admission diagnosis, clinical outcomes among others of 320 patients with malignant tumors(lung tumor, head and neck tumor, bone metastases, liver tumor) were collected from Hubei, Guangxi and Fujian provinces. The cost of hospitalized radiotherapy and treatment effect of these patients were compared to identify the more cost effective of the two methods. Results The effective rates of stereotactic radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy were 99.1% (108/109) and 97.2% (205/211) respectively, and the difference was not significant( P>0.05). The average hospitalization cost of treatment of the two groups was 37 545.56 yuan and 48 159.05 yuan respectively; the cost-effectiveness ratio was 37 886.54 and 49 546.35 respectively. Conclusions The short-term effects of stereotactic and intensity-modulated radiotherapy are similar, but the cost of intensity-modulated radiotherapy is higher. The minimum cost analysis shows that stereotactic radiotherapy is more cost effective.
