Background: It remains unclear whether laparoscopic multisegmental resection and anastomosis (LMRA) is safe and advantageous over traditional open multisegmental resection and anastomosis (OMRA) for treating synchronous colorectal cancer (SCRC) located in separate segments.
Aim: To compare the short-term efficacy and long-term prognosis of OMRA as well as LMRA for SCRC located in separate segments.
Methods: Patients with SCRC who underwent surgery between January 2010 and December 2021 at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively recruited.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the accuracy and reliability of deep learning technology, specifically using 3D CT images, for automatic sex estimation in the Chinese Han population.
- Researchers collected pelvic CT images from 700 individuals (350 males and 350 females), utilizing the Inception v4 model and both initial and transfer learning methods for training.
- Results showed high overall accuracy rates, with the best performance reaching 95.7% when using transfer learning, indicating that this deep learning model can effectively estimate sex from 3D pelvic images.
Acute sympathetic stress causes excessive secretion of catecholamines and induces cardiac injuries, which are mainly mediated by β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs). However, α-adrenergic receptors (α-ARs) are also expressed in the heart and are activated upon acute sympathetic stress. In the present study, we investigated whether α-AR activation induced cardiac inflammation and the underlying mechanisms.
