Purpose To investigate the value of oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal injury based on 3D CT image segmentation technology,and to analyze its variation.Materials and Methods A total of 24 patients with uneven hypoperfusion of liver parenchyma in the portal vein phase of enhanced CT after receiving oxaliplatin regimen chemotherapy from November 2019 to July 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital,Jiangxi Medical College,Nanchang University were analyzed,retrospectively.The imaging data of patients with epigastric CT enhancement before chemotherapy,early chemotherapy(1-3 cycles)and late chemotherapy(≥4 cycles)were collected.Two doctors used 3D Slicer software to segment and measure the liver volume and spleen volume at each stage on the CT image,as well as the hepatic hypoperfusion volume(HHV)of the liver in the portal vein phase after chemotherapy,and calculated the HHV ratio(HHVR),liver volume hepatomegaly rate and spleen volume splenomegaly rate,and performed statistical analysis.Results The ICC for HHV,liver volume and spleen volume measured by two doctors were 0.997(P=0.000),0.905(P=0.000)and 0.998(P=0.000),respectively.Reddish-brown could be used to represent normal liver parenchyma,and blue could be used to render the HHV area to achieve HHV visualization.There was a statistically significant increase in HHVR in the late stage of chemotherapy compared with the early stage of chemotherapy[(74.35±30.56)%vs.(57.15±30.53)%;t=3.226,P=0.004].In the early and late stages of chemotherapy,the liver volume and spleen volume increased statistically significantly compared with those before chemotherapy(all P<0.05),and the spleen volume splenomegaly rate value in the late stage of chemotherapy increased statistically compared with the early stage of chemotherapy[25.75(7.40,70.66)%vs.17.86(4.44,63.59)%;Z=2.229,P=0.026].The Pearson correlation coefficient between liver volume hepatomegaly rate and HHVR was 0.377(P=0.008),and the Spearman correlation coefficient between spleen volume splenomegaly rate and HHVR was 0.296(P=0.041).Conclusion The application of 3D CT image segmentation technology to measure the HHV caused by oxaliplatin has good consistency,and can realize the visual display of HHV.With the increase of chemotherapy cycle,the extent of oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal injury shows an increasing trend,and is positively correlated with hepatomegaly and splenomegaly.

Objective To evaluate the visual quality and functions of the civil pilots after corneal refractive surgery (CRS) and to explore the safety and long-term stability of CRS.Methods Two hundred and ninety-seven pilots,who were treated in Ophthalmology Department of West China Hospital,Sichuan University,were selected as subjects in this study.Their visual acuity,refraction,corneal topography,contrast sensitivity and break-up time (BUT) were detected and the subjective questionnaires were surveyed.The pilots were divided by spherical equivalent (SE) into emmetropia group:the SE of any eye was ≤+0.50 D or ≥-0.50 D,refractive error group:the SE of any eye was-0.75--6.00 D and CRS group:the pilots had the history of CRS.Results ①There were 99 pilots (198 eyes) in emmetropia group [SE (0.00±0.50) D];90 pilots (180 eyes) in refractive error group [SE (-2.06±1.75) D];108 pilots (216 eyes) in CRS group [SE (0.00±0.74) D].The SE of 68.1% pilots in CRS group was within ±0.50 D,90.3% pilots was with in ±1.00 D.②The uncorrected visual acuity of 85.6% pilots (185 eyes) of CRS group was ≥1.0 while 98.6% pilots (213 eyes) achieved ≥0.5.③There were significant differences on BUT,glare contrast sensitivity function-12,corneal astigmatism,surface asymmetry index (SAI) among 3 groups (H =6.910-26.075,P < 0.05).There were no significant differences in the index of visual quality between emmetropes and CRS group except BUT and SAI (H =2.465,4.449,P<0.017).There were no significant differences in symptom,social activity,mental and psychology domains between emmetropes and CRS group (P>0.017).Conclusions The long-term visual quality and functions of the pilots by CRS show stable effects and compatible to the criteria of emmetropic pilots.

Objective To study the relationship of interleukin-18 (IL-18)gene-137G/C polymorphisms in the promoter region with cerebral infarction(CI) and the effect of integrin gene polymorphisms on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) were used for the detection of integrin genotypes in 190 patients with CI and 210 healthy controls. The plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels were measured by routine method. Results The distributions of IL-18 gene -137G/C polymorphism was significantly different between CI group and control group(P <0. 05= ,The relative risk suffered from CI of C allele was 1.624 times of the G allele (OR = 1.624,95% CI: 1.134 ~ 2.324), The level of plasma lipid C allele carriers was significantly higher than no carriers(P <0.05=. Conclusion IL-18 gene-137G/C polymorphism was associated with CI, C allele may be genetic susceptibility gene for CI.
