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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of shikosin (SHI) on psoriasis (PSO) and explore the underlying mechanism via the cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway. MethodHaCaT cells were classified into normal culture(Control), a mixture of five proinflammatory cytokines(M5), low-, medium-, and high-dose SHI (L-SHI, M-SHI, and H-SHI, respectively), and SHI+ADU-S100 groups. The cells in the M5 group were stimulated with 10 μg·L-1 interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-17, IL-22, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and oncostatin M (OSM) for 48 h. The cells in the L-SHI, M-SHI, and H-SHI groups were treated with 0.1, 1, 10 μmol·L-1 SHI, respectively, on the basis of the treatment in the M5 group. The cells in the SHI+ADU-S100 group were treated with 10 μmol·L-1 STING activator ADU-S100 on the basis of the treatment in the H-SHI group. The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and colony formation assay were employed to examine the effect of SHI on the proliferation of HaCaT cells. The wound healing assay was employed to examine the effect of SHI on the migration of HaCaT cells. Flow cytometry was employed to detect the effect of SHI on the apoptosis of HaCaT cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-15, IL-23, and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in HaCaT cells. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of cGAS and STING in HaCaT cells. ResultCompared with Control group, the M5 group showed decreased survival rate, colony formation, and would healing rate of HaCaT cells, increased apoptosis rate, elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-15, IL-23, and IFN-γ, and up-regulated protein levels of cGAS and STING (P<0.01). Compared with the M5 group, the L-SHI, M-SHI, and H-SHI groups showed increased survival rate, cell colony formation, and wound healing rate, decreased apoptosis rate, lowered levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-15, IL-23, and IFN-γ, and down-regulated protein levels of cGAS and STING (P<0.01). Compared with the H-SHI group, the SHI+ADU-S100 group showed decreased survival rate, cell colony formation, and wound healing rate, increased apoptosis rate, risen levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-15, IL-23, and IFN-γ, and up-regulated protein levels of cGAS and STING (P<0.01).
