    Abstract: Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is a novel optical imaging technique that has been applied in clinic using various radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals. However, clinical application of CLI has been limited by weak optical signal and restricted tissue penetration depth. Various fluorescent probes have been combined with radiopharmaceuticals for improved imaging performances. However, as most of these probes only interact with Cerenkov luminescence (CL), the low photon fluence of CL greatly restricted it’s interaction with fluorescent probes for in vivo imaging. Therefore, it is important to develop probes that can effectively convert energy beyond CL such as β and γ to the low energy optical signals. In this study, a Eu 3+ doped gadolinium oxide (Gd 2 O 3 :Eu) was synthesized and combined with radiopharmaceuticals to achieve a red-shifted optical spectrum with less tissue scattering and enhanced optical signal intensity in this study. The interaction between Gd 2 O 3 :Eu and radiopharmaceutical were investigated using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG). The ex vivo optical signal intensity of the mixture of Gd 2 O 3 :Eu and 18 F-FDG reached 369 times as high as that of CLI using 18 F-FDG alone. To achieve improved biocompatibility, the Gd 2 O 3 :Eu nanoparticles were then modified with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and the resulted nanoprobe PVA modified Gd 2 O 3 :Eu (Gd 2 O 3 :Eu@PVA) was applied in intraoperative tumor imaging. Compared with 18 F-FDG alone, intraoperative administration of Gd 2 O 3 :Eu@PVA and 18 F-FDG combination achieved a much higher tumor-to-normal tissue ratio (TNR, 10.24 ± 2.24 vs. 1.87 ± 0.73, P  = 0.0030). The use of Gd 2 O 3 :Eu@PVA and 18 F-FDG also assisted intraoperative detection of tumors that were omitted by preoperative positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Further experiment of image-guided surgery demonstrated feasibility of image-guided tumor resection using Gd 2 O 3 :Eu@PVA and 18 F-FDG. In summary, Gd 2 O 3 :Eu can achieve significantly optimized imaging property when combined with 18 F-FDG in intraoperative tumor imaging and image-guided tumor resection surgery. It is expected that the development of the Gd 2 O 3 :Eu nanoparticle will promote investigation and application of novel nanoparticles that can interact with radiopharmaceuticals for improved imaging properties. This work highlighted the impact of the nanoprobe that can be excited by radiopharmaceuticals emitting CL, β, and γ radiation for precisely imaging of tumor and intraoperatively guide tumor resection.

    Abstract: The Fengcheng Formation of the Mahu Sag is an unconventional reservoir that is of paramount importance for exploration and development of hydrocarbon resource. However, current research on natural fractures in the Fengcheng Formation remains limited, posing challenges for exploration of hydrocarbon resource in the region. This study is based on core observations, thin section identification, geochemical testing and the evolution of regional tectonic movements to investigate the characteristics and periods of formation of natural fractures to address this gap. According to the characteristics of natural fractures in the drilling core samples and microsections, the natural fractures in the Fengcheng Formation can be grouped into structural fractures and atectonic fractures. Structural fractures can be further divided into three subtypes: high-angle interlayer shear fractures, along-layer shear fractures, and tensile fractures. Additionally, non-tectonic fractures in this studied area are primarily bedding fractures, hydraulic fractures, and hydrocarbon-generating overpressure fractures. Vertically, fracture development is more prominent at the bottom of Feng #2 Formation and at the top of Feng #3 Formation. Results also indicate that natural fractures primarily formed during three distinct tectonic movement periods. The initial stage of fracture evolution pertains to the Late Permian period (243–266 Ma), filled with fibrous calcite, and exhibiting a uniform temperature of 70–100 °C. The second stage of fracture evolution occurred during the Late Indosinian to Early Yanshanian period (181–208 Ma), mostly filled or semi-filled with calcite, with a uniform temperature of 110–130 °C. The third stage of fracture development happened during the late Yanshanian to early Himalaya period (50–87 Ma), predominantly filled with calcite, and presenting a uniform temperature of 130–150 °C. Among the various types of structural fractures, the density of high-angle interlayer shear fractures demonstrates a positive correlation with daily gas production, indicating their vital role in promoting hydrocarbon resource production and transportation. Furthermore, microfractures generated by hydrocarbon-generating overpressure fractures exhibit small pore sizes and strong connectivity. These microfractures can create an effective permeability system by connecting previously isolated micropores in shale reservoirs, thus establishing interconnected pore spaces in the shale formation.

    Abstract: Radical resection is the most effective method for malignant tumor treatments. However, conventional imaging cannot fully satisfy the clinical needs of surgical navigation. This study presents a novel triple‐modality positron emission tomography (PET)–Cerenkov radiation energy transfer (CRET)–confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) imaging strategy for intraoperative tumor imaging and surgical navigation. Using clinical radiopharmaceuticals and fluorescein sodium (FS), this strategy can accurately detect the tumor and guide the tumor surgery. The FS emission property under Cerenkov radiation excitation is investigated using 2‐deoxy‐2‐ 18 F‐fluoroglucose and 11 C‐choline. Performances of the PET–CRET–CLE imaging and the CRET–CLE image‐guided surgery are evaluated on mouse models. The CRET signal at 8 mm depth is stronger than the Cerenkov luminescence at 1 mm depth in phantoms. In vivo experiments indicate that 0.5 mL kg −1 of 10% FS generates the strongest CRET signal, which can be observed immediately after FS injection. A surgical navigation study shows that the tumors are precisely detected and resected using intraoperative CRET–CLE. In summary, a PET–CRET–CLE triple‐modality imaging strategy is developed. This strategy can detect the tumors and precisely guide the tumor resection using clinical pharmaceuticals. This triple‐modality imaging shows high potential in surgical navigation research and clinical translation.

    Abstract: Fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) is a novel imaging modality to obtain fluorescence biomarkers' three-dimensional (3D) distribution. However, the simplified mathematical model and complicated inverse problem limit it to achieving precise results. In this study, the second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging was adopted to mitigate tissue scattering and reduce noise interference. An excitation-based fully connected network was proposed to model the inverse process of NIR-II photon propagation and directly obtain the 3D distribution of the light source. An excitation block was embedded in the network allowing it to autonomously pay more attention to neurons related to the light source. The barycenter error was added to the loss function to improve the localization accuracy of the light source. Both numerical simulation and in vivo experiments showed the superiority of the novel NIR-II FMT reconstruction strategy over the baseline methods. This strategy was expected to facilitate the application of machine learning in biomedical research.

    Abstract: Introduction: In this study, near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging was presented and used for glioma resection surgery to assist the surgeons to identify the tumor intraoperatively and guide the resection of residual tumor tissue. Methods: 66 patients aged 18-74 years with gliomas diagnosed by contrast MRI were enrolled in the controlled trial and divided into experimental group and control group respectively. For the experiment group, a multispectral fluorescence imaging instrument comprised visible imaging, NIR-I and NIR-II fluorescence imaging sub-system was specially constructed for image-guided resection surgery of gliomas. Patients in the group (n=34) were administered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved indocyanine green (ICG) intravenously 48h before anesthesia started. During the surgery, visible and NIR-II and NIR-I fluorescence images were acquired by the instrument, and NIR-II fluorescence imaging was applied for image-guided tumor resection in the experimental group. Resected tissue samples were also imaged. Judgement by the surgeon and by fluorescence image were recorded and compared. The pathology was used as the gold standard. For patients in the control group, normal surgery procedure was administered. Postoperative MRI was conducted within 3 days after surgery. The proportion of gross total resection (GTR) assessed by postoperative MRI for patients in both of the group were compared as the primary endpoint. The second endpoint was postoperative neurological status. The neurological status of the patients was assessed by karnofsky performance scale (KPS) and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Results: 28 patients in the experimental group had obvious fluorescence of tumor and assigned image-guided surgery. The gliomas were resected completely in 24 of the 28 patients underwent image-guided surgery. In 31 patients of the control group, 20 acquired GTR. The GTR proportion of the experiment group was higher than that of the control group (85.7% vs. 64.5%). There is no significant difference between the evaluation of neuro functions acquired pre and 3 months' post-operation, indicating that fluorescence image-guided surgery did no damage to the neuro function of the patients. As for the sample judgment, the NIR-II fluorescence imaging demonstrated better performance than NIR-I image and surgeons' judgment under white light. NIR-II fluorescence imaging has significantly higher sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) than NIR-I. Compared with surgeons' judgment under white light, NIR-II fluorescence has significantly higher sensitivity, NPV and accuracy. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the feasibility of NIR-II fluorescence image-guided surgery being applied in glioma resection surgery. With the guidance of NIR-II fluorescence image, the GTR proportion was improved without damaging the neurological status. Besides, NIR-II fluorescence imaging also performed better than NIR-I image and surgeons' judgment under white light in sample judgment. The results showed great clinical benefits of NIR-II fluorescence image-guided glioma resection surgery.

    Abstract: Surgery is the predominant treatment modality of human glioma but suffers difficulty on clearly identifying tumor boundaries in clinic. Conventional practice involves neurosurgeon’s visual evaluation and intraoperative histological examination of dissected tissues using frozen section, which is time-consuming and complex. The aim of this study was to develop fluorescent imaging coupled with artificial intelligence technique to quickly and accurately determine glioma in real-time during surgery. Methods Glioma patients ( N  = 23) were enrolled and injected with indocyanine green for fluorescence image–guided surgery. Tissue samples ( N  = 1874) were harvested from surgery of these patients, and the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) fluorescence images were obtained. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) combined with NIR-II fluorescence imaging (named as FL-CNN) were explored to automatically provide pathological diagnosis of glioma in situ in real-time during patient surgery. The pathological examination results were used as the gold standard. Results The developed FL-CNN achieved the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.945. Comparing to neurosurgeons’ judgment, with the same level of specificity 〉 80%, FL-CNN achieved a much higher sensitivity (93.8% versus 82.0%, P   〈  0.001) with zero time overhead. Further experiments demonstrated that FL-CNN corrected 〉 70% of the errors made by neurosurgeons. FL-CNN was also able to rapidly predict grade and Ki-67 level (AUC 0.810 and 0.625) of tumor specimens intraoperatively. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that deep CNNs are better at capturing important information from fluorescence images than surgeons’ evaluation during patient surgery. FL-CNN is highly promising to provide pathological diagnosis intraoperatively and assist neurosurgeons to obtain maximum resection safely. Trial registration ChiCTR ChiCTR2000029402.
