[Research Progress of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-based Radiomics in Prostate Cancer].

Radiomics can extract high-throughput and quantitative image features from medical images and mine the information related to the pathophysiology of tumors,which can help clinical decision-making and improve the diagnostic and predictive performance.Radiomics has been widely used in the study of prostate cancer (PCa),demonstrating application values in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis,pathology classification,invasion assessment,efficacy prediction,and prognosis analysis of PCa.Here we reviewed the recent research progress of magnetic resonance imaging-based radiomics in PCa.

Awareness of Age-related Macular Degeneration and Its Risk Factors among Beijing Residents in China.

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of irreversible blindness, and awareness of this disease is important in the prevention of blindness. However, lack of public awareness of AMD was shown in previous studies, and there was no report of AMD awareness in the Mainland of China. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess the awareness of AMD and its risk factors among Beijing residents in China.

A reappraisal of adult thoracic and abdominal surface anatomy via CT scan in Chinese population.

Accurate surface anatomy is essential for safe clinical practice. There are numerous inconsistencies in clinically important surface markings among and within contemporary anatomical reference texts. The aim of this study was to investigate key thoracic and abdominal surface anatomy landmarks in living Chinese adults using computed tomography (CT).

[Pathogenesis of dry age-related macular degeneration: updates].

Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the major causes of blindness in the elderly population and it is the consequence of interactions of multiple factors. Although the pathogenesis of dry AMD hasn't been fully elucidated, much progress has been made in the genetics, inflammation, oxidative stress, aging of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and metabolic changes. Identification of dry AMD related genes and predisposing loci facilitates the development of risk evaluation of dry AMD.
