Lung diseases such as lung cancer and COVID-19 seriously endanger human health and life safety, so early screening and diagnosis are particularly important. computed tomography (CT) technology is one of the important ways to screen lung diseases, among which lung parenchyma segmentation based on CT images is the key step in screening lung diseases, and high-quality lung parenchyma segmentation can effectively improve the level of early diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. Automatic, fast and accurate segmentation of lung parenchyma based on CT images can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of low efficiency and strong subjectivity of manual segmentation, and has become one of the research hotspots in this field. In this paper, the research progress in lung parenchyma segmentation is reviewed based on the related literatures published at domestic and abroad in recent years. The traditional machine learning methods and deep learning methods are compared and analyzed, and the research progress of improving the network structure of deep learning model is emphatically introduced. Some unsolved problems in lung parenchyma segmentation were discussed, and the development prospect was prospected, providing reference for researchers in related fields.
【摘要】目的探讨早期乳腺癌保乳术中电子线放射治疗(intraoperative radiotherapy with electron,ELIOT)的可行性,评价术后并发症和术后乳房外观。方法2007年6月2009年6月期间,共有26例早期乳腺癌(肿瘤直径不超过25 cm)患者接受乳腺癌保乳手术及ELIOT,放疗剂量为21 Gy(分割照射58～60 Gy)。术后1年内第1、2、3个月,第6、9、12个月,1年后每6个月评估一次,主要评估切口愈合状况、并发症、乳房外观及肿瘤复发情况。结果术后切口愈合时间14～22 d,平均17 d。随访2～25个月,平均12个月,有2例切口脂肪液化,11例切口水肿伴引流液较多,全组无切口感染或血肿。随访期间内,未发现局部复发、远处转移或对侧乳腺癌。手术切口愈合后、术后6个月,1、2年对乳房外观评价结果:优秀者分别依次为577%、667%、727%及100%;好者分别依次为346%、222%、182%及0;一般者分别依次为77%、111%、91%及0。结论乳腺癌保乳术后行ELIOT 疗效确切、安全,对早期乳腺癌患者是一种方法简便,疗效确切、安全的选择。
Abstract: The hybrid pencil beam model (HPBM) is an effective algorithm for calculating electron dose distribution in radiotherapy. The mean energy distribution of incident electron beam in phantom is one of the factors that affect the calculation accuracy of HPBM, especially in field edge areas near the end of the electron range. A new fitted formula based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data for electron beams with energy range of 6-20MeV in the homogeneous water phantom is proposed in this paper. The precision of the fitted formula within the scope of the energy was evaluated by comparing the electron dose distribution of ECWG measured data with that obtained from HPBM which took the mean electron energy that calculated by the fitted formula and the existed empirical formula, respectively. The results showed that the accuracy of dose distribution that obtained by the mean electron energy calculated with the fitted formula increased about 1%.
Determination of free radical has been done in the fibrous capsules with electron spin resonaee (ESR). The results showed that there was a marked production of oxygen free radical, and the superoxide dismutase could scavenge it effectively. The author discussed the oxygen relationship of free radicals with the collagen synthesis in the fibrous capsule.
Electronic skin has shown great application potential in many fields such as healthcare monitoring and human-machine interaction due to their excellent sensing performance, mechanical properties and biocompatibility. This paper starts from the materials selection and structures design of electronic skin, and summarizes their different applications in the field of healthcare equipment, especially current development status of wearable sensors with different functions, as well as the application of electronic skin in virtual reality. The challenges of electronic skin in the field of wearable devices and healthcare, as well as our corresponding strategies, are discussed to provide a reference for further advancing the research of electronic skin.
Coronary microcirculation dysfunction (CMVD) is an important risk factor for the prognosis of re-perfused ischemic heart. Recent studies showed that the evaluation of CMVD has significant impact on both the early diagnosis of heart diseases relevant to blood supply and prognosis after myocardial reperfusion. In this review, the definition of CMVD from the perspective of pathophysiology was clarified, the principles and features of the state-of-the-art imaging technologies for CMVD assessment were reviewed from the perspective of engineering and the further research direction was promoted.
Objective To investigate the advances and clinical efficacy evaluation method on neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer. Methods Literatures on the advances and clinical efficacy evaluation method on neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer were reviewed and analyzed. The agreement between computed tomography (CT), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) and the results of histopathology and survival was analyzed.Results CT and EUS were the method of efficacy evaluation commonly used at present, but the evaluation indexes and criteria were controversial, and the criteria for solid tumors seemed to be not feasible for gastric cancer. Diffusionweighted imaging (DWI) method needed more investigation, while PET held advantage in early selection of patients without response accurately.Conclusion There is no uniform standard for clinical efficacy evaluation yet, so an integration of diverse imaging methods may be the best choice to improve the accuracy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer.
