Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)-based intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics of prostate cancer(PCa)for bone metastases.Methods A total of 211 patients diagnosed with PCa by biopsy pathology at Gansu Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.These patients were randomly divided into a training set(n=147)and a validation set(n=64)in a 7:3 ratio.Regions of interest(ROIs)were delineated from the patients'T2-weighted imaging(T2WI),diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI),and apparent diffusion coefficient imaging(ADC)sequences to extract radiomic features.Z-score(normalization)and the LASSO algorithm were used for feature dimensionality reduction,selection,and construction.A predictive model was then built using a logistic regression(LR)machine learning classifier.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to assess the model's performance.Calibration curves and decision curves(DCA)were plotted to evaluate the model's fit and clinical net benefit.Results Radiomic features were extracted from the tumor and peritumoral regions in each patient's T2WI,DWI,and ADC images,with a total of 312 features from each region.The LASSO regression model ultimately identified 10 intratumoral radiomic features closely related to bone metastasis,including 2 T2 sequence features,7 DWI features,and 1 ADC sequence feature;and 9 peritumoral radiomic features,including 4 T2 sequence features,3 DWI features,and 2 ADC sequence features.The predictive model based on intratumoral radiomic features achieved an AUC of 0.845(95%CI 0.747-0.943),while the predictive model based on peritumoral radiomic features had an AUC of 0.818(95%CI 0.716-0.919).A combined nomogram model incorporating intratumoral features,peritumoral radiomic features,and clinical features(including Gleason score,total prostate specific antigen,and body mass index)yielded an AUC of 0.936(95%CI 0.902-0.970).Calibration curves indicated that the combined model had good fit,and DCA demonstrated that the combined model provided better clinical net benefit.Conclusions Peritumoral radiomics has excellent predictive value for bone metastasis in newly diagnosed PCa.Combining with intratumoral radiomics features and clinical features,it significantly enhances the predictive capability of the model.

Knee osteoarthritis(KOA)is a chronic degenerative joint disease,which poses a major challenge particularly among the elderly population due to its high incidence and high disability.Imaging examination has been used commonly to diagnose KOA.However,it faces imitations in predicting disease progression due to the lack of prior information and constraints in manpower and time.With the rapid evolution of big data and computational technologies,artificial intelligence(AI)is progressively integrating into various healthcare domains.Therefore,the integration of artificial intelligence(AI)into healthcare holds promise for revolutionizing KOA diagnosis and treatment.AI-assisted diagnostic models have demonstrated the potential to automate diagnosis,classify disease severity,and predict disease progression with improved efficiency and accuracy.In addition,these models provide personalized diagnosis and treatment options,as well as accurate disease progression risk assessment.Despite these promising outcomes,challenges such as high costs associated with data annotation and limitations in model generalization capabilities persist.This paper reviews recent advancements in AI applications and summarizes the potential value of utilizing AI applications for KOA.To further enhance the utilization of AI in KOA management to overcome current limitations,future efforts should focus on standardizing clinical sample databases,optimizing AI algorithms,and enhancing external verification sets.

Objective To explore the correlation between gallbladder stones and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth(SIBO).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 393 patients who attended the Department of Gastroenterology of the Sixth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2021 to September 2023.They were divided into gallbladder stones group(n=190)and control group(n=203)based on the presence of gallbladder stones.Their general clinical data,laboratory test results,and abdominal symptoms were compared.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for gallbladder stones.Additionally,the total population was divided into SIBO-positive group(n=239)and SIBO-negative group(n=154),and their clinical characteristics were analyzed by logistic regression to explore the risk factors for SIBO.Results Univariate analysis revealed that gallbladder stones group had a higher rate of age,body mass index(BMI),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),glutaminase levels,prevalence of hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,gallbladder polyps,and SIBO,as well as a higher prevalence of CH4-positive and H2-positive in SIBO group than control group(P＜0.05).In terms of abdominal symptoms,the incidence of bad breath(48.4%vs.35.5%),dyspepsia(38.4%vs.28.6%),abdominal pain(30.5%vs.14.8%),bloating(42.1%vs.28.6%),diarrhea(20.5%vs.7.4%),and more exhaustion(46.8%vs.34.5%)were significantly higher in gallbladder stones group than those in control group(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that independent positive determinants for incident gallbladder stones were age,BMI,FPG,total bilirubin(TBIL),coronary heart disease,gallbladder polyps,and SIBO.Univariate analysis revealed that age,prevalence of gallbladder stones,proportion of single stones,triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)were significantly higher in SIBO-positive group than those in SIBO-negative group(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for SIBO were age,coronary heart disease,and gallbladder stones,while the protective factor for SIBO was high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C).Conclusion There is a significant correlation between gallbladder stones and small SIBO;interventions on related factors of gallbladder stones and small SIBO may help reduce their incidence.

Objective To analyze the gene expression characteristics of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP)using bioinformatics methods,aim to investigate the potential biomarkers and their diagnostic value of CRSwNP.Methods(1)The CRSwNP Gene expression data set was downloaded from the American Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database.The differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between CRSwNP patients and healthy controls were screened through data analysis.Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis were performed on the identified DEGs.Protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks were constructed utilizing the STRING database,and the key genes were identified by using the cytoHubba plugin.The"Cibersort"package was used to analyze the influence of key genes on common immune cells.(2)Thirty-two patients diagnosed with CRSwNP in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the CRSwNP group,and 21 patients with simple deviation of nasal septum without a history of sinusitis during the same period were selected as control group.The pathological characteristics of specimens in the two groups were examined using hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to detect the expression levels of key genes in CRSwNP.The levels of key proteins in plasma were detected using ELISA,and ROC curve was used to analyze its efficacy in diagnosing CRSwNP.Results(1)Analysis of three gene expression database sets(GSE36830,GSE23552,and GSE194282)showed that there were 156 DEGs in CRSwNP.GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the functions of the above DEGs were mostly related to immune functions.Key genes such as cytochrome b-245 β chain(CYBB)and colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor(CSF1R)were identified.(2)The results of HE staining revealed that the epithelial of CRSwNP tissue was metaplastic into stratified squamous epithelium with interstitial edema.Both immunohistochemistry and Western blotting analyses indicated that the expression levels of CYBB and CSF1R in the CRSwNP group were significantly increased compared to control group(P＜0.05).ELISA results demonstrated that CYBB[(21.20±3.00)μg/ml vs.(17.66±1.66)μg/ml,P＜0.05]and CSF1[(477.37±86.63)pg/ml vs.(370.71±66.24)pg/ml,P＜0.05]in CRSwNP group were significantly increased compare to control group.ROC curve analysis showed that plasma concentrations of CYBB and CSF1 had AUCs of 0.888(95%CI 0.802-0.974)and 0.821(95%CI 0.711-0.931)for diagnosing of CRSwNP,respectively;their combined AUC was 0.927(95%CI 0.851-1.000).Conclusions CYBB and CSF1R may be involved in the occurrence and development of CRSwNP.Plasma CYBB and CSF1 have high diagnostic value for CRSwNP.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of dose-surface histogram(DSH)for radiation proctitis(RP)in prostate cancer(PCa)patients undergoing radiotherapy.Methods This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial included 380 PCa patients who underwent image-guided radiotherapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei Northern University from January 2018 to January 2023.Patients were randomly divided into observation group(n=200)and control group(n=180).The rectal dose distribution of patients in the two groups was evaluated by using DSH and dose-volume histogram(DVH),respectively.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was utilized to evaluate the predictive value of DSH for acute RP,with DVH serving as a reference.Results The difference was not statistically significant in clinical information such as age,KPS score,and body mass index(BMI)between the observation and control groups(P＞0.05),as well as in acute RP incidence(P＞0.05).There were significant differences in S40 and V40,S50 and V50,S60 and V60,S70 and V70,and S78 and V78 between the two groups(P＜0.05).S40,S50,V40,and V50 showed low efficacy(P＜0.001)in predicting acute RP at each level,with AUC≤0.700.S60 and V60 showed moderate efficacy(P＜0.001)in predicting acute RP at each level,with AUC 0.700-0.900.S70,S78,V70 and V78 showed high efficacy(P＜0.001)in predicting acute RP at each level,with AUC＞0.900.Conclusions The predictive value of DSH for rectal toxicity in patients with PCa is basically consistent with that of DVH.It is expected to become a novel and valuable tool for evaluating radiotherapy plans in the future.
