Objective:To investigate the application of low-dose chest CT(LDCT) in the screening of pulmonary subsolid nodules in population and the application value of artificial intelligence.Methods:People who received chest LDCT screening between January 2015 and December 2017 were included. A retrospective study was developed to analyze the enrolled population features , detection of pulmonary subsolid nodules and independent predictors of subsolid nodules , and to evaluate the accuracy of the artificial intelligence reading method.Results:Result of three cross-sectional studies reveals that the detection rates of pulmonary subsolid nodules were 0.42%, 0.69% and 0.92% in three rounds. 726 cases who completed the three rounds of screening were included in the cohort study. The cohort population was predominantly male(83.2%), with a median age of 43 years, and nearly half of the subjects(47.0%) had a history of smoking. GEE revealed that the patient's family history of lung cancer( OR=8.753, 95% CI: 1.877-40.816, P=0.006) was an independent predictor of the detection of subsolid nodules. In the 110 kVp tube voltage group, AUC of AI model was 0.740, and AUC of the manual reading method was 0.721, no significant differences were observed( P=0.502); when the preseted cutoff value of AI model was 0.75, the NRI was -0.15, indicating the accuracy of AI model was inferior to manual method( P=0.006). In the 130 kVp tube voltage group, AUC of the model was 0.888, and AUC of the manual reading method was 0.756, no significant differences were observed( P=0.128); and the NRI was 0.19, indicating the accuracy of AI model was not inferior to manual method( P=0.123). Conclusion:This population' s detection rates of pulmonary subsolid nodules were 0.42%-0.92%. Family history of lung cancer was an independent predictor of subsolid pulmonary nodules. The result of AI pulmonary nodule detection model could be a reference when the training set data parameters match the actual application parameters.
Objective:To investigate different incidences of recent complications after thoracoscopic lobectomy at different operation schedules in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods:A total of 730 patients with early stage NSCLC who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomies in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Peking University People's Hospital from June 2013 to October 2017 were enrolled. Clinical data were collected retrospectively to calculate the incidence of postoperative complications. Meanwhile, the effects of different operation time periods(before 4pm or after 4pm, working day or weekend) on complications were compared, and the propensity score matching method was used to eliminate the confusion factors that may cause result bias. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods were used to analyze the independent risk factors of postoperative complications.Results:162 patients(22.2%) had complications within one month after thoracoscopic surgeries, and 53(7.3%) of them were major complications. After the propensity scores of the preoperative clinical factors were matched, there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between weekdays and weekends(18.7% vs 23.9%, P=0.267). There was also no significant difference in the effect of complications between the group before 4pm and group after 4pm on surgery(22.1% vs 27.9%, P=0.337). Conclusion:The incidence of recent complications in patients with early stage NSCLC after thoracoscopic lobectomy was as acceptable as 22.2%. The choice of operation schedules did not affect the postoperative complications.
Thymoma is a potential malignant disease with a recurrence rate of 10% to 30% after complete resection. There is no agreement on the treatment strategy and standard for recurrent thymoma. The treatment methods include reoperation, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. In this article, we review the previous literature and summarize the indications, efficacy and prognosis of different treatments for recurrent thymoma, so as to provide some reference for treatment criteria for recurrent thymoma.
线粒体不仅在能量代谢中有重要的作用,对其它细胞功能的调控也至关重要,随着对线粒体认知的不断深入,对线粒体膜脂质的研究也越来越受关注.心磷脂(cardiolipin,CL)作为线粒体膜中的特征性脂质,是所有真核生物线粒体的共同组分,其代谢和转运有助于线粒体功能的正常发挥.近年来,心磷脂的转运一直是研究的重点.本文中,我们综述了线粒体心磷脂的合成过程、转运机制和其在细胞功能调控中的作用,同时讨论了心磷脂与相关疾病的关系.
