		                        			Diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) is a kind of bone complication caused by diabetes, which is characterized by the decrease of bone mineral density, the change of bone microstructure and the increase of bone fragility. The process of DOP is closely related to high glucose, insulin resistance, oxidative stress and other mechanisms. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in mediating insulin resistance and bone metabolic balance in diabetes. Regulation of Wnt signal transduction promotes the expression of glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β)phosphorylation and improves glucose and lipid metabolism. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is also an important way regulating osteocyte-driven bone remodeling, which not only plays an important regulatory role in the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts and improve bone metabolic homeostasis, but also promotes the expression of osteopontin, osteocalcin and type Ⅰ collagen, and improves bone proliferation and osteogenic differentiation by regulating the Wnt pathway. In recent years, the research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the prevention and treatment of DOP has gradually increased, and the exploration of TCM to interfere with the Wnt pathway to improve DOP has made some progress. This paper collects and summarizes the studies on the Wnt signaling pathway in glucose metabolism, bone metabolism and DOP worldwide in the past decade, as well as the related literature on the intervention of DOP by TCM compounds (classical and other compounds), single Chinese medicine and TCM monomers based on the Wnt pathway, in order to provide a reference and direction for the development of new drugs for clinical prevention and treatment of DOP.

		                        			Objective:To construct and evaluate a parotid mass malignancy risk model based on ultrasound image characteristics and clinical features of parotid masses.Methods:Ultrasound images and clinical features of 214 patients with parotid masses in the First People′s Hospital of Foshan were retrospectively collected from June 2018 to August 2020. The pathology results were taken as the golden standard. All the clinical features and ultrasound image features were first screened using regression analysis, and then the screened features were used to build a prediction model.Results:Malignant tumors of the parotid gland appeared on ultrasound as hypoechoic solid masses with or without abnormal cervicofacial lymph nodes with poorly defined borders and irregular morphology. Multifactorial analysis showed that facial nerve function, cervicofacial lymph node abnormalities, maximum diameter, morphology and borders of the mass were independent predictors of the risk of malignant parotid masses. A Nomogram prediction model was established using the above 5 indicators, and the results showed a concordance index(C-index) of 0.896 (95% CI=0.834-0.958) for Nomogram. The standard curve showed good agreement between the predictive effect of Nomogram and the actual situation of benign and malignant parotid swellings, with an internally validated C-index of 0.878. Conclusions:Ultrasound is of great value in identifying benign and malignant parotid tumors. The Nomogram model using ultrasound image features and clinical characteristics can assess the biocharacteristics of parotid masses, and the model shows high accuracy in predicting the risk of malignancy of parotid masses.

		                        			Objectives:To investigate the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of International Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Criteria and Classification (IECC) in classifying endocervical adenocarcinomas among Chinese women.Methods:A total of 286 endocervical adenocarcinomas diagnosed from January 2013 to December 2019 at the Women′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were identified and included. The cases were reviewed and reclassified based on IECC. The histological types were correlated with p16 immunostaining, human papilloma virus (HPV) mRNA status, the clinicopathological parameters including the International Federation of Gynecologic Oncology (FIGO) stage, and clinical follow-up data.Results:The patients aged from 19 to 77 (median 47) years. There were 223 patients at FIGO stage Ⅰ, 22 at stage Ⅱ, 38 at stage Ⅲ and 3 at stage Ⅳ. The IECC types included 213 (74.5%) HPV-related adenocarcinomas (HPVA), 60 (21%) non-HPV-related adenocarcinomas (NHPVA), and 13 (4.5%) adenocarcinomas, no other specified (NOS). The major histological subtypes in HPVA and NHPVA were common type ( n=156, 54.5%) and gastric type (GAC, n=46, 15.9%), respectively. The p16 positive rates in HPVA, NHPVA and adenocarcinoma, NOS were 92% (173/188), 26.6% (17/64) and 61.5% (8/13), respectively, and those of HPV mRNA hybridization in situ were 89.4% (144/161), 0/18 and 7/13, respectively. Compared to HPVA, NHPVA was more frequently associated with older age, FIGO stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ, neural involvement, lymphovascular invasion and aberrant p53 expression ( P<0.05). Univariate survival analysis showed that age (>47 years), NHPVA, GAC, FIGO stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ, neural involvement, lymphovascular invasion and aberrant p53 expression were indicators for a poorer overall survival and tumor recurrence ( P<0.05). Mucinous HPVA showed worse clinical outcomes compared to usual-type HPVA ( P<0.01). Multivariate survival analysis demonstrated that FIGO stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ, NHPVA and aberrant p53 expression were independent indicators for poor overall survival while FIGO stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ and GAC were independently associated with tumor recurrence ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The two broad IECC categories, HPVA and NHPVA, not only provide morphological links to the etiology (HPV infection), but also have significant clinicopathological and prognostic relevance.

		                        			Objective    To analyze the risk factors of anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy. Methods    The clinical data of 1 328 patients with esophageal cancer, who underwent esophagectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from January 2010 to December 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 726 males and 602 females, at an average age of 67.2±14.1 years. According to whether there was anastomotic leakage after operation, patients were divided into two groups: an anastomotic leakage group (167 patients) and a non-anastomotic leakage group (1 161 patients). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify related risk factors of anastomotic leakage after operation. Results     The incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage was 12.6% (167/1 328). Univariate analysis showed that body mass index, arrhythmia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, preoperative albumin level, preoperative chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy, lesion location, anastomosis types and postoperative pulmonary infection were associated with statistically significant increase in risk of cervical anastomotic leakage (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative COPD, lesion location and postoperative pulmonary infection were independent risk factors of cervical anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy (P<0.05). Conclusion    The occurrence of cervical anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer is related to many factors. The preoperative COPD, the lesion location and the postoperative pulmonary infection are independent high risk factors. Paying attention to these factors and doing perioperative management can effectively reduce the occurrence of anastomotic leakage.

		                        			 Objective:
		                        			To assess the outcomes and toxic effects of 5-day actinomycin D (Act-D) salvage therapy and to explore the predictors of Act-D resistance in patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN)who failed 5-day methotrexate (MTX) chemotherapy. 
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			This retrospective study analyzed patients with low-risk GTN administered Act-D salvage therapy after failing MTX chemotherapy at Women's Hospital, School of Medicine Zhejiang University between January 2000 and December 2015. The clinical parameters of these patients were collected and analyzed. 
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			The final analysis included 89 cases. Of these, 73 cases (82.02%) responded to salvage Act-D. The remaining 16 resistant cases were switched to etoposide, MTX, Act-D/ cyclophosphamide, and vincristine chemotherapy and achieved complete remission. Serum human chorionic gonadotrophin levels before Act-D salvage therapy (hCG Act-D )in the Act-Dresistant cases were significantly higher than those in the Act-D responders (median 605 vs.103 IU/L, p=0.009). However, the range of hCGAct-D values in Act-D responders was wider than that in Act-D-resistant cases (5.76–16,664 IU/L vs. 11.43–6,732 IU/L). Thus, assigning a general cut-off value was difficult considering the individual setting. Except for 2 cases requiring other salvage regimens due to Act-D toxicity, 97.80% of cases (89/91) tolerated the toxicity. During at least 1-year follow-up, the survival rate was 100.00% and no case developed recurrence. 
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			Based on the good therapeutic effect and tolerable toxicity, we recommend Act-D salvage therapy for all patients with low-risk GTN who fail primary MTX chemotherapy.The higher serum hCG levels before Act-D salvage therapy may be associated with resistance to this treatment.

		                        			Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) breast X-ray photography image texture characteristics based deep learning classification model on differentiating malignant masses. Methods Retrospectively collected 132 cases with simplex breast lesions (89 benign lesions and 43 malignant lesions) which were confirmed by pathology and DBT during January 2016 to December 2016 in Nanfang Hospital. DBT was performed before biopsy and surgery. Image of cranio-caudal view (CC) and medio-lateral oblique (MLO) were captured. The lesion area was segmented to acquire ROI by ITK-SNAP software. Then the processed images were input into MATLAB R2015b to establish a feature model for extracting texture features. The characteristics with high correlation was analyzed from Fisher score and one sample t test. We built up support vector machine (SVM) classification model based on extracted texture and added neural network model (CNN) for deep learning classification model. We randomly assigned collected cases into training group and validation group. The diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions were served as the reference. The efficiency was evaluated by ROC classification model. Result We extracted 82 texture characteristics from 132 images of leisure (132 images of CC and 132 images of MLO) by establishing deep learning classification model of breast lesions. We randomly chose and combined characteristics from 15 texture characteristics with statistical significance, then differentiated benign and malignant by SVM classification model. After 50 iterations on each combination of characteristics, the average diagnostic efficacy was compared to obtained the one with higher efficacy. Nine of CC and 8 of MLO was selected. The result showed that the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under curve (AUC) of the model to differentiate simplex breast lesions for CC were 0.68, 0.77, 0.74 and 0.74, for MLO were 0.71, 0.71, 0.71 and 0.76. Conclusions MLO has better diagnostic performance for the diagnosis than CC. The deep learning classification model on breast lesions which was built upon DBT image texture characteristics on MLO could differentiate malignant masses effectively.
