    Abstract This paper targets on self-supervised tumor segmentation. We make the following contributions: (i) we take inspiration from the observation that tumors are often characterised independently of their contexts, we propose a novel proxy task "layer-decomposition", that closely matches the goal of the downstream task, and design a scalable pipeline for generating synthetic tumor data for pre-training; (ii) we propose a two-stage Sim2Real training regime for unsupervised tumor segmentation, where we first pre-train a model with simulated tumors, and then adopt a self-training strategy for downstream data adaptation; (iii) when evaluating on different tumor segmentation benchmarks, e.g. BraTS2018 for brain tumor segmentation and LiTS2017 for liver tumor segmentation, our approach achieves state-of-the-art segmentation performance under the unsupervised setting. While transferring the model for tumor segmentation under a low-annotation regime, the proposed approach also outperforms all existing self-supervised approaches; (iv) we conduct extensive ablation studies to analyse the critical components in data simulation, and validate the necessity of different proxy tasks. We demonstrate that, with sufficient texture randomization in simulation, model trained on synthetic data can effortlessly generalise to datasets with real tumors.

    Abstract In this study, we aim to evaluate the correlation between T score measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) derived from quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and MRI-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ), explore the diagnostic performance of VBQ in osteoporosis and determine the recognition value of VBQ in osteoporotic fracture in a relatively large cohort of elderly patients scheduled to undergo spinal surgery. A total of 260 patients were enrolled in the study. DXA and QCT were used to evaluate osteoporotic status. We calculated the lumbar VBQ score, analyzed the correlation between T score, vBMD and VBQ, and explored whether VBQ was an influential factor of bone quality and fracture by binary logistic regression as well as the diagnostic performance of VBQ in osteoporosis and fracture by ROC curve. VBQ was negatively correlated with vBMD and T score. (r = - 0.487 vs. r = - 0.220). The VBQ score was a risk factor for osteoporosis under the QCT diagnostic criteria (OR = 2.245, 95% CI 1.456-3.460) and osteoporotic fractures (OR = 1.496, 95% CI 1.097-2.040). It exhibited superior discriminant performance for osteoporosis diagnosed by QCT, with a cutoff value of 3.70 and an AUC of 0.7354. Its cutoff value for osteoporotic fractures was 3.72, and its AUC was 0.6717. In a cohort of elderly patients scheduled to undergo spinal surgery, the VBQ score was more strongly associated with vBMD than the T score and could identify patients with osteoporosis and corresponding vertebral compression fracture (VCF).

    Abstract From scanning tunnelling microscopy and density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate that different annealing mechanisms could modulate distinct reaction pathways, where in a stepwise annealing procedure the detached Br atoms may reduce the activation barrier of CH activation resulting in hierarchical cross dehydrogenative coupling, while in a one-step annealing procedure only Ullmann coupling products are observed.

    Abstract On-surface Ullmann coupling has been considered an appealing approach for the precise fabrication of carbon-based covalent nanostructures under solution-free conditions. However, chirality has seldom been discussed in Ullmann reactions. In this report, self-assembled two-dimensional chiral networks are initially constructed in a large area on Au(111) and Ag(111) after adsorption of the prochiral precursor, 6,12-dibromochrysene (DBCh). Self-assembled phases are then transformed into organometallic (OM) oligomers after debromination, preserving the chirality; in particular, the formation of scarcely reported OM species on Au(111) is discovered herein. With the aryl-aryl bonding induced after intensive annealing, covalent chains are fabricated

    Abstract Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and their derivatives are receiving increasing attention as a result of their unique electronic and magnetic properties, and many novel derivative structures have been fabricated. The carbon pentagon plays a crucial role in determining both geometric structures and electronic properties of carbon-based materials. Here, we demonstrate that carbon-pentagon-incorporated graphene-like nanoribbons (GLNRs), which are an important class of GNR derivatives, are successfully fabricated via the Ullmann coupling and aromatic cyclodehydrogenation reaction on the surface by a suitable choice of multiple tailored molecular precursors. Our approach provides a basis for the impact of adatoms in the reaction and proves the steering function of the aryl-metal interaction in procedures of self-assembly and organometallic state. In addition, this study paves the way for on-surface synthesis of GNRs and their derivatives as well as the fine tuning of electronic properties of carbon nanoarchitectures by manipulating the edge structures and embedding carbon pentagon heterojunctions.

    Abstract Background: Robust evidence on whether diagnostic discordance exists between lumbar osteoporosis detected by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) vs. dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is still lacking. In this study involving a relatively large prospective cohort of older men (aged > 60 years) and postmenopausal women, we assessed lumbar QCT-derived volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and DXA-derived area BMD and evaluated their predictive performance for prevalent vertebral fracture (VF).
    Methods: A total of 501 patients who underwent spinal surgery from September 2020 to September 2022 were enrolled. The criteria recommended by the American College of Radiology and the World Health Organization were used for lumbar osteoporosis diagnosis. The osteoporosis detection rates between QCT and DXA were compared. QCT-vBMD was plotted against the DXA T score, and the line of best fit was calculated based on linear regression. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between risk factors and VF. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed, and the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.
    Results: QCT screening showed that 60.7% of patients had osteoporosis, whereas DXA screening showed that 50.7% of patients had osteoporosis. Diagnoses were concordant for 325 (64.9%) patients. In all, 205 patients suffered a VF of at least one anatomic level. Of these, 84.4% (173/205) were diagnosed with osteoporosis by QCT, while only 73.2% (150/205) were diagnosed by DXA. Multivariate logistic regression showed that osteoporosis detected by QCT exhibited a stronger relationship with VF than that detected by DXA (unadjusted OR, 6.81 vs. 5.04; adjusted OR, 3.44 vs. 2.66). For discrimination between patients with and without VF, QCT-vBMD (AUC = 0.802) showed better performance than DXA T score (AUC = 0.76).
    Conclusion: In older patients undergoing spinal surgery, QCT-vBMD is more helpful than DXA in terms of osteoporosis detection rate and prediction of patients with prevalent VFs.

    Abstract Background context: Recently published studies have revealed a correlation between MRI-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score and bone mineral density (BMD) measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or quantitative computed tomography (QCT). However, no studies have determined if differences in field strength (1.5 vs 3.0 T) could affect the comparability of the VBQ score among different individuals.
    Purpose: To compare the VBQ score obtained from 1.5 T and 3.0 T MRI (VBQ
    Design: A nested case‒control study based on an ongoing prospective cohort study of patients undergoing spine surgery.
    Patient sample: All older patients (men aged >60 years and postmenopausal women) with available DXA, QCT and MR images within 1 month were included.
    Outcome measures: VBQ score, DXA T-score, and QCT derived vBMD.
    Methods: The osteoporotic classifications recommended by the World Health Organization and American College of Radiology were used to categorize the DXA T-score and QCT-derived BMD, respectively. For each patient, the VBQ score was calculated using T1-weighted MR images. Correlation analysis between VBQ and DXA/QCT was performed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, including determination of the area under the curve (AUC), was performed to assess the predictive performance of VBQ for osteoporosis.
    Results: A total of 452 patients (98 men aged >60 years and 354 postmenopausal women) were included in the analysis. Across different BMD categories, the correlation coefficients between the VBQ score and BMD ranged from -0.211 to -0.511, and the VBQ
    Conclusions: VBQ

    Abstract Study design: A porcine model.
    Objective: The study aims to design a novel pedicle navigator based on micro-inertial navigation system (MINS) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to assist place pedicle screw placement and validate the utility of the system in enhancing pedicle screw placement.
    Summary of background data: The incidence of pedicle screw malpositioning in complicated spinal surgery is still high.Procedures such as computed tomography image-guided navigation, and robot-assisted surgery have been used to improve the precision of pedicle screw placement, but it remains an unmet clinical need.
    Methods: The miniaturized integrated framework containing MINS was mounted inside the hollow handle of the pedicle finder. The inner core was complemented by a high-intensity electrode for measuring bioelectric impedance. Twelve healthy male Wuzhishan minipigs of similar age and weight were used in this experiment and randomized to the MINS-BIA or freehand (FH) group. Pedicle screw placement was determined according to the modified Gertzbein-Robbins grading system on computed tomography images. An impedance detected by probe equal to the baseline value for soft tissue was defined as cortical bone perforation.
    Results: A total of 216 screws were placed in 12 minipigs. There were 15 pedicle breaches in the navigator group and 31 in the FH group; the detection rates of these breaches were 14 of 15 (93.3%) and 25 of 31 (80.6%), respectively, with a statistically significant difference between groups. The mean offsets between the planned and postoperatively measured tilt angles of the screw trajectory were 4.5° ± 5.5° in the axial plane and 4.8° ± 3.3° in the sagittal plane with the navigator system and 7.0° ± 5.1° and 7.7° ± 4.7°, respectively, with the FH technique; the differences were statistically significant.
    Conclusion: A novel and portable navigator based on MINS and BIA could be beneficial for improving or maintaining accuracy while reducing overall radiation exposure.
