Objective:To develop a prediction model based on imaging features by contrast-enhanced MRI radiomics combined with clinical features for early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radical resection.Methods:A retrospective study was carried out on 109 HCC patients who underwent radical resection at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2015 to December 2020. Of 109 patients enrolled in this study, there were 96 males and 13 females, aged (58.3±10.7) years. Based on whether there was recurrence within 12 months after operation, the patients were divided into the early recurrence group ( n=31) and the control group ( n=78). These 109 patients were then randomly divided into the validation set ( n=23) and the training set ( n=86) at a ratio of 1∶4. Based on preoperative multi-phase contrast-enhanced MRI scanning, the tumor lesions were delineated on the Radcloud platform, and 1 409 quantitative radiomic features were extracted. Dimension reduction and screening of these features were carried out using variance threshold, SelectKBest and LASSO. Combined with clinical features (alpha fetoprotein, tumor size), several prediction model were established through machine learning. The predictive efficiencies of these models were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, accuracy rate, recall rate and balanced F score. Results:The proportions of irregular tumor shape and unclear tumor boundary, as well as maximum tumor diameter in the early recurrence group were significantly higher than that in the control group, but the proportion of pseudocapsule was significantly lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). A total of 465 features were screened from the 1 409 features using the variance threshold method, followed by 38 features were screened using the method of SelectKBest. Finally 7 optimal radiomic features were screened based on the LASSO method. When combined with clinical features, 5 prediction models were established through machine learning. These models were support vector machine, Gaussian naive bayes, logistic regression, Multinomial naive bayes and K-nearest neighbor (KNN), respectively. Among these 5 models, the prediction efficiency of the KNN model was relatively highest, with the area under the ROC curve, accuracy rate, recall rate and balanced F score being 0.90, 0.98, 0.74 and 0.84 in the training set, and 0.76, 0.92, 0.75 and 0.83 in the verification set, respectively. Thus, the KNN model was selected as the best prediction model in this study. Conclusion:The prediction model of KNN was developed for early recurrence of HCC after radical resection based on preoperative contrast-enhanced MRI radiomics combined with clinical features.

Objective:To analyze the effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted percutaneous endoscopic posterior/transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (RPE-P/TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis with instability.Methods:From September 2018 to April 2022, 26 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis combined with lumbar segmental instability were treated with RPE-P/TLIF at the Department of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine. There were 13 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 57.92±7.09 years (range, 44 to 75 years) and a mean body mass index of 24.05±2.64 kg/m 2 (range, 19.38 to 29.06 kg/m 2). A total of 31 segments were included, including 21 cases of single-segment surgery (L 3, 4 in 2 cases, L 4, 5 in 18 cases, and L 5S 1 in 1 case) and 5 cases of two-segment surgery (all L 3-L 5). Before surgery and at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery, as well as at the final follow-up, the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess back pain and lower limb pain, and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate spinal nerve function. Clinical efficacy was evaluated using the MacNab criteria at the final follow-up. Imaging evaluation indicators included pre- and post-operative intervertebral space height, lumbar lordosis angle, fusion rate, and accuracy of pedicle screw placement. Results:The follow-up time for the 26 patients was 42.88±10.09 months (range, 12 to 55 months). The mean operation time was 156.54±33.50 min, and the mean postoperative drainage volume was 27.23±20.20 ml. The VAS scores for back pain and lower limb pain before surgery were 4.35±1.23 and 6.08±0.63, respectively. These scores decreased to 2.08±0.69 and 1.85±0.54 at 1 month postoperatively, 1.85±0.54 and 0.77±0.59 at 6 months, 0.96±0.53 and 0.62±0.57 at 1 year, and 0.88±0.52 and 0.58±0.50 at the final follow-up, respectively. The differences were statistically significant ( F=85.943, P=0.001; F=547.946, P=0.014). The ODI scores before surgery and at 1, 6, 12 months after surgery, and at the final follow-up were 55.38%±5.89%, 28.38%±3.849%, 17.77%±2.67%, 12.58%±1.88% and 12.12%±2.27% respectively, with statistically significant differences ( F=783.289, P=0.010). According to the MacNab criteria, at the final follow-up, there were 18 cases of excellent, 6 cases of good, and 2 cases of fair, with an excellent and good rate of 92.3%. A total of 114 percutaneous pedicle screws were implanted with grades A, B and C being 109, 4 and 1, respectively. The preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up intervertebral space heights were 10.55±1.96, 13.53±1.37, and 12.54±1.42 mm respectively, with statistically significant differences ( F=42.190, P<0.001). And the lumbar lordosis angles were 35.81°±10.80°, 35.69°±11.07°, and 36.08°±11.29° respectively, with no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05). At 12 months postoperatively, bone fusion was achieved in 25 cases, with a fusion rate of 96% (25/26). Conclusion:RPE-P/TLIF for lumbar spinal stenosis combined with lumbar instability were favorable. Being a safe and effective minimally invasive surgical option, it effectively enhanced the intervertebral space height in the surgical segment with fewer complications.

Preventing and mitigating major risk exposure is an important task for modern countries to maintain sustained and healthy economic development and overall social stability. In this manuscript, the authors introduced Israel′s current medical and health care risk prevention system, including the regional health emergency response coordination mechanism, hospital′s external emergency rescue capacity building and hospital′s internal security system. Israel′s risk prevention system has been tested by wars and terrorist attacks, as well as many infectious diseases outbreaks. Thus the authors expected that its successful experiences can be introduced as a reference for improving China′s medical and health care risk prevention system.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.
