The anticancer drugs have evolved significantly, spanning molecular targeted therapeutics (MTTs), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Complications associated with these drugs vary widely based on their mechanisms of action. MTTs that target angiogenesis can often lead to complications related to ischemia or endothelial damage across various organs, whereas non-anti-angiogenic MTTs present unique complications derived from their specific pharmacological actions. ICIs are predominantly associated with immunerelated adverse events, such as pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, thyroid disorders, hypophysitis, and sarcoid-like reactions. CAR-T therapy causes unique and severe complications including cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. ADCs tend to cause complications associated with cytotoxic payloads. A comprehensive understanding of these drug-specific toxicities, particularly using medical imaging, is essential for providing optimal patient care. Based on this knowledge, radiologists can play a pivotal role in multidisciplinary teams. Therefore, radiologists must stay up-to-date on the imaging characteristics of these complications and the mechanisms underlying novel anticancer drugs.

6.The Electroacoustic Performance of Digital Noise Reduction Systems in Commercial Hearing Aids with Malay Speech-Plus-Noise Test Signals (Prestasi Elektroakustik Sistem Pengurangan Hingar Digital dalam Alat Bantu Pendengaran Komersial dengan Isyarat Ujian Pertuturan-Dalam-Bising Bahasa Melayu)

One of the most frequent complaints of individuals with hearing impairment is listening comfort in noisy environments.
In order to improve listening comforts in background noise, digital noise reduction (DNR) systems are incorporated into
hearing aids (HAs). Each hearing aid manufacturer has its proprietary algorithm for the DNR system. The amount of
attenuation (dB) provided by the DNR system can be quantified using the hearing aid analyser. However, the standard
test signals in the hearing aid analyser could not quantify the attenuation of DNR for speech mixed with noise signals.
Therefore, this study aimed to (i) develop speech-plus-noise test signals that incorporate Malay sentences and (ii)
quantify the efficacy of DNR systems in commercial hearing aids using the newly developed test signals. Six different
brands of hearing aids with identical technology but from different manufacturers were subjected to electroacoustic
testing utilising newly created Malay speech-in-noise test signals with and without DNR enabled. The total root-meansquare (RMS) gain reduction for each HA was calculated. The results show that the types of noise, the signal-to-noise
ratio and the gender of the speaker have a significant effect (p<0.05) on the amount of gain reduction in the HA output
as a result of the DNR system in each HA . In conclusion, the newly developed Malay speech-in-noise test signals can
be used to verify the efficacy of DNR system in commercial hearing aids.

【Objective】 To analyze the position of the feeding artery entering the renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with 3D Slicer software, so as to explore the distribution pattern of the tumor artery and to provide an anatomical basis for the accurate surgical resection. 【Methods】 The clinical data of RCC patients who underwent partial nephrectomy in the Department of Urology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University during Jan.2021 and Jun.2022 were collected.The preoperative renal artery CT angiography data were imported into 3D Slicer software in DICOM format to construct the relative positions of tumor-feeding artery from horizontal, sagittal and coronary planes.The number and distribution of tumor feeding arteries in each plane were analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 112 patients (59 male and 53 female) with single tumor were involved.RENAL score was 4-10.The tumor stages were T1a in 58 cases, T1b in 48 cases, and T2a in 6 cases.Among them, 38 cases (33.93%) had 1 tumor artery, 53 cases (47.32%) had 2 tumor arteries, and 21 cases (18.75%) had 3 tumor arteries.Of these 207 tumor arteries, 22 (10.63%) entered the tumor through the superficial part of the tumor bed, and 185 (89.37%) through the deep part. 【Conclusion】 In localized RCC, nearly 90% of the feeding arteries enter the tumor from deep part of the tumor bed, which provides an anatomical basis for accurate tumor resection and wound suture in partial nephrectomy.
