ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Huangqin Tang (HQT) in regulating metabolic reprogramming during the inflammation-cancer transformation in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). MethodsCAC mouse model was established using the carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM) combined with the inflammatory agent dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). HQT treatment was adopted. Serum metabolomics analysis was performed at three stages (inflammation, proliferation, and tumor formation) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) untargeted metabolomics coupled with multivariate statistical analysis to explore the mechanism of HQT intervention in metabolism in CAC. ResultsThe results revealed that HQT significantly reversed the disturbance of key metabolites in CAC mice. A total of 52, 67, and 45 differential metabolites were identified in the model group, compared to the normal group, during inflammation, proliferation, and tumor stages, respectively. Lactate, linoleic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, and betaine were characteristic metabolites persistently enriched throughout colitis-cancer transformation. Pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites showed that linoleic acid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism were the most significantly disturbed in CAC pathogenesis. The proliferation stage featured expanded amino acid metabolic networks, while the tumor stage uniquely exhibited two new pathways of nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism and phosphoinositide metabolism. HQT exerted stage-specific regulatory effects: targeting arachidonic acid metabolism in the inflammation stage, correcting the dysregulation of choline-carnitine metabolism in the proliferation stage, and rescuing nicotinamide and tryptophan metabolic collapse in the tumor stage. ConclusionHQT exerts regulatory effects on metabolic disorders at various stages of the colitis-cancer transformation process, thereby effectively slowing the progression from colitis to cancer. The study also reveals the dynamic metabolic characteristics of colorectal "inflammation-cancer transformation,"providing new insights for research on the targeted mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in anti-tumor therapy based on metabolic reprogramming.

Objective:To develop PixelSIFT-UNet, a novel semantic segmentation model that integrates deep learning with scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm to improve the segmentation accuracy of oral mucosal lesions.Methods:This investigation utilized 838 standard clinical white light images of oral mucosal diseases acquired from January 2020 to December 2022 at the Stomatology Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Randomization was achieved through Python′s random.seed function implementation. The random sample function was subsequently applied for sampling distribution. The dataset was stratified into three subsets with a 6∶2∶2 ratio: training ( n=506), validation ( n=166), and testing ( n=166). Lesion boundaries were annotated using Labelme software, and a PixelSIFT-UNet-based deep learning model was developed with VGG-16 and ResNet-50 backbone networks. Model parameters were optimized using the validation set, and performance metrics [including Dice coefficient, mean intersection over union (mIoU), mean pixel accuracy (mPA), and Precision] were assessed on the test set. The model′s performance was benchmarked against conventional semantic segmentation frameworks (U-Net and PSPNet). Results:The developed PixelSIFT-UNet model could achieve precise segmentation of three common oral mucosal lesions: oral lichen planus, oral leukoplakia, and oral submucous fibrosis. Utilizing VGG-16 as the backbone network, the model achieved Dice coefficient, mIoU, mPA, and Precision values of 0.642, 0.699, 0.836, and 0.792, respectively. Implementation with ResNet-50 backbone network yielded metrics of 0.668, 0.733, 0.872 and 0.817, demonstrating significant improvements across all performance indicators compared to conventional U-Net model (relevant metrics: 0.662, 0.717, 0.861 and 0.809) and PSPNet model (relevant metrics: 0.671, 0.721, 0.858 and 0.813).Conclusions:The proposed PixelSIFT-UNet architecture demonstrates superior performance in oral mucosal lesion segmentation tasks, surpassing conventional semantic segmentation models and providing robust quantitative improvements in segmentation accuracy.

Objective:
To study the segment of liver according to the large amount of three-dimensional(3D) reconstructive images of normal human livers and the vascular system, and to recognize the basic functional liver unit based on the anatomic features of the intrahepatic portal veins.
Methods:
The enhanced CT primitive DICOM files of 1 260 normal human livers from different age groups who treated from October 2013 to February 2017 provided by 16 hospitals were analyzed using the computer-aided surgery system.The 3D liver and liver vascular system were reconstructed, and the digital liver 3D model was established.The vascular morphology, anatomical features, and anatomical distributions of intrahepatic portal veins were statistically analyzed.
Results:
The digital liver model obtained from the 3D reconstruction of CAS displayed clear intrahepatic portal vein vessels of level four.Perform a digital liver segments study based on the analysis of level four vascular distribution areas.As the less anatomical variation of left hepatic portal vein, the liver was classified into four types of liver segmentation mainly based on right hepatic portal vein.Type A was similar to Couinaud or Cho′s segmentation, containing 8 segments(537 cases, 42.62%). Type B contained 9 segments as there are three ramifications of right-anterior portal vein(464 cases, 36.82%). The main difference for Type C was the variation of right-posterior portal vein which was sector shape(102 cases, 8.10%). Type D contained the cases with special portal vein variations, which needs three-dimensional simulation to design individualized liver resection plan(157 cases, 12.46%). These results showed that there was no significant difference in liver segmental typing between genders(χ2=2.179,
