RÉSUMÉ
Objective To observe the feasibility of low tube voltage scanning technology in CT-guided cryoablation therapy of liver cancer.Methods Twenty-one patients who underwent routine CT(tube voltage 120 kV)-guided cryoablation of liver cancer(group A)were retrospectively enrolled,while low tube voltage(100 kV)CT-guided cryoablation of liver cancer was prospectively performed in 23 patients(group B).CT scanning were performed before and after ablation with automatic tube current mode(50-450 mA),and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction(ASIR)algorithm was used for image reconstruction(reconstruction percentages of 40%)of both groups.The subjective scores and objective evaluations of CT image quality before and after treatment were compared between groups,so as the treatment effect and patient's radiation dose(volume CT dose index[CTDIvol]).Results No significant difference of subjective scores,objective evaluations of CT image quality nor treatment effect was detected between groups(all P＞0.05).Before and after treatment,CTDIvol of patients in group A was significantly higher than that in group B(btoh P＜0.001).Conclusion Low tube voltage scanning technology could be used for CT-guided cryoablation of liver cancer,which might ensure image quality without affecting evaluation on cryoablation effect and reduce radiation dose combined with ASIR algorithm.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective To investigate the differences in the gene expression profiles between SW480 and SW620 cell lines.Methods A dataset of GDS756 containing the gene expression profiles of SW480 and SW620 was downloaded from the GEO database in NCBI.The differential expression genes between SW480 and SW620 were analyzed with gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and leading edge subset analysis.The genes in leading edge subset were re-annotated by FunRich software.The core genes of leading edge subset closely relating to SW480 or SW620 were analyzed with the STRING on-line analytical system.The functional core genes closely relating to SW480 or SW620 were obtained by the combined analysis of the core genes and high frequency genes from leading edge subset.Results GSEA identified 12 significantly enriched gene sets,491 leading edge genes and 7 highly overlapping genes from SW480 and 80 significantly enriched gene sets,870 leading edge genes and 6 highly overlapping genes from SW620.The STRING system identified 5 core genes from SW480 and 8 from SW620.The combined analysis of GSEA and bionetwork obtained 2 functional core genes,TOP2A and CDK1,from SW620.Conclusion The SW480 and SW620 cells with identical genetic background have different functional gene expression profiles,and the functional core genes TOP2A and CDK1 in SW620 cells may be related to the signal pathways of colon cancer metastasis.
