Objective To explore the clinical value of artificial intelligence (AI) quantitative parameters in distinguishing pathological grades of stageⅠ invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC). Methods Clinical data of patients with clinical stageⅠ IAC admitted to Yantaishan Hospital Affiliated to Binzhou Medical University from October 2018 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the 2021 WHO pathological grading criteria for lung adenocarcinoma, IAC was divided into gradeⅠ, grade Ⅱ, and grade Ⅲ. The differences in parameters among the groups were compared, and logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of AI quantitative parameters for grade Ⅲ IAC patients. Parameters were screened using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. Three machine learning models were constructed based on these parameters to predict grade Ⅲ IAC and were internally validated to assess their efficacy. Nomograms were used for visualization. Results A total of 261 IAC patients were included, including 101 males and 160 females, with an average age of 27-88 (61.96±9.17) years. Six patients had dual primary lesions, and different lesions from the same patient were analyzed as independent samples. There were 48 patients of gradeⅠ IAC, 89 patients of grade Ⅱ IAC, and 130 patients of grade Ⅲ IAC. There were statitical differences in the AI quantitive parameters such as consolidation/tumor ratio (CTR), ect among the three goups. (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the differences in all variables except age were statistically significant (P<0.05) between the group gradeⅠ+grade Ⅱand the group grade Ⅲ . Multivariate analysis suggested that CTR and CT standard deviation were independent risk factors for identifying grade Ⅲ IAC, and the two were negatively correlated. Grade Ⅲ IAC exhibited advanced TNM staging, more pathological high-risk factors, higher lymph node metastasis rate, and higher proportion of advanced structure. CTR was positively correlated with the proportion of advanced structures in all patients. This correlation was also observed in grade Ⅲ but not in gradeⅠand grade ⅡIAC. CTR and CT median value were selected by using LASSO regression. Logistic regression, random forest, and XGBoost models were constructed and validated, among which, the XGBoost model demonstrated the best predictive performance. Conclusion Cautious consideration should be given to grade Ⅲ IAC when CTR is higher than 39.48% and CT standard deviation is less than 122.75 HU. The XGBoost model based on combined CTR and CT median value has good predictive efficacy for grade Ⅲ IAC, aiding clinicians in making personalized clinical decisions.

This article systematically reviews the characteristics and trends of the writing, editing, publication and promotion of physiology textbooks in China from the late 19th century to the present, focusing on the introduction, development and innovation of Chinese physiology textbooks. The development of physiology textbooks in China is divided into four main stages: the introduction and initial development of physiology textbooks from the late 19th century to 1925; the localization and diversification of textbooks from 1926 to 1949, after the establishment of the Chinese Physiological Society; the exploratory phase of textbook construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China from 1949 to 1976; the formation and innovation of the textbook development process from 1977 to the present, following the restoration of the college entrance examination. For each phase, the article not only records the historical development of physiology textbooks, but also analyzes the evolution of their content, writing styles and the interaction with the social and political contexts. The article summarizes the characteristics and experiences of all these four phases. Special attention is given to the comprehensive statistical analysis of physiology textbooks published since the restoration of the college entrance examination and Economic Reform and Opening-up in 1977, revealing the changes in the number, publication trends and academic features of textbooks during this period. Finally, the article presets the future development of physiology textbooks in China, proposing that textbook writing should integrate aspects such as ideological and political education, medical humanities, basic and clinical medicine, health education, scientific research and international exchange and collaboration. The article also advocates for the application of new technologies and methods, such as artificial intelligence, virtual teaching models and knowledge graphs, to support "personalized learning". This research provides a systematic reference for the study of the history of medical education and offers theoretical support for the future innovation of physiology textbook in China.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of 3D printing spinal external fixator combined with McKenzie therapy for patients with lumbar dics herniation (LDH). METHODS: Sixty patients with LDH between January 2022 and January 2023 were enrolled. Among them, 30 patients were given McKinsey training. According to different treatment methods, all patients were divided into McKenzie group and McKenzie + 3D printing group, 30 patients in each group. The McKenzie group provided McKenzie therapy. The McKenzie + 3D printing group were treated with 3D printing spinal external fixation brace on the basis of McKenzie therapy. Patients in both groups were between 25 and 60 years of age and had their first illness. In the McKenzie group, there were 19 males and 11 females, with an average age of (48.57±5.86) years old, and the disease duration was (7.03 ±2.39) months. The McKenzie + 3D printing group, there were 21 males and 9 females, with an average age of (48.80±5.92) years old, and the disease duration was(7.30±2.56) months. Pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS), and lumbar spine function was assessed using the Oswestry disability index (ODI) and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. VAS, ODI and JOA scores were compared between two groups before treatment and at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 12 months. The VAS for the McKenzie combined with 3D printing group before treatment and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-treatment were(6.533±0.860), (5.133±1.008), (3.933±0.868), (2.900±0.759), (2.067±0.640), (1.433±0.504), respectively. In the McKenzie group, the corresponding scores were (6.467±0.860), (5.067±1.048), (4.600±0.968), (3.533±1.008), (2.567±0.728), (1.967±0.809), respectively. The ODI of the McKenzie group before treatment and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-treatment were (41.033±6.810)%, (37.933±6.209)%, (35.467±6.962)%, (27.567±10.081)%, (20.800±7.531)%, (13.533±5.158)%, respectively. For the McKenzie combined with 3D printing group, the corresponding ODI were(38.033±5.605)%, (33.000±6.192)%, (28.767±7.045)%, (22.200±5.517)%, (17.700±4.836)%, (11.900±2.771)%, respectively. The JOA scores of the McKenzie combined with 3D printing group before treatment and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-treatment were(8.900±2.074), (13.133±2.330), (15.700±3.583), (20.400±3.480), (22.267±3.084), (24.833±2.640), respectively. In the McKenzie group, the corresponding scores were(9.200±2.091), (12.267±2.406), (15.333±3.198), (18.467±2.240), (20.133±2.751), (22.467±2.849), respectively. Before the initiation of treatment, no statistically significant differences were observed in the VAS, ODI, and JOA scores between two groups (P>0.05). At 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-treatment, the VAS in the McKenzie combined with 3D printing group was significantly lower than that in the McKenzie group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The comparison of ODI between two groups at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-treatment revealed statistically significant differences (P<0.05). At 6, 9, and 12 months post-treatment, the JOA score in the McKenzie combined with 3D printing group was significantly higher than that in the McKenzie-only group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The combination of 3D printed functional spinal external fixation brace with McKenzie therapy can significantly improve and maintain lumbar function in patients with LDH.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical significance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in response evaluation and relapse monitoring for patients with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). METHODS: The clinical characteristics, efficacy and survival of 38 PMBCL patients in our hospital from January 2010 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The ctDNA monitoring was conducted by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). RESULTS: Among the 38 patients, 26 cases were female, and 32 cases were diagnosed with Ann Arbor stage I-II. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate and progression-free survival (PFS) rate were 74.7% and 61.7%, respectively. Males and those with high aaIPI scores (3 points) had a relatively poor prognosis. The NGS results of 23 patients showed that STAT6 (65.2%), SOCS1 (56.5%), and TNFAIP3 (56.5%) were the most common mutated genes. Patients with stable disease (SD)/progressive disease (PD) exhibited enrichment in cell cycle, FoxO, and TNF signaling pathways. A total of 29 patients underwent end-of-treatment PET/CT (EOT PET/CT), and 16 of them received ctDNA monitoring with 12 negative. Among 6 patients with EOT PET/CT positive (Deauville 4), 4 underwent ctDNA monitoring, and 3 of them were negative, being still in continuous remission without any subsequent anti-tumor therapy. CONCLUSION CtDNA may be combined with PET/CT to assess efficacy, monitor relapse, and guide treatment of PMBCL.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of growth differentiation factor-11(GDF-11)and S100 calcium binding protein A4(S100A4)and the severity and disease outcome in diabetic nephropathy(DN)patients.Methods A total of 95 DN patients admitted to the hospital from May 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study group,and 110 healthy people were selected as the healthy group.The DN patients were divided into mild group(n=66)and severe group(n=29)according to the severity of the disease.The patients were followed up for half a year after discharge,and were divided into good prognosis group(n=64)and poor prognosis group(n=31)according to the prognosis.Serum GDF-11 and S100A4 lev-els were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to ex-plore the relationship between serum GDF-11,S100A4 levels and the severity of the disease.Receiver operat-ing characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 for dis-ease outcome in DN patients,and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of disease outcome in DN patients.Results The levels of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 in mild group and severe group were higher than those in healthy group,and those in severe group were higher than those in mild group(P＜0.05).Serum GDF-11 and S100A4 levels were positively correlated with the severity of DN patients(P＜0.05).The good prognosis group had significantly lower serum levels of GDF-11 and S100A4 than the poor prognosis group(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 in predicting the outcome of DN patients was 0.785 and 0.839,respectively,and the AUC of combined prediction was 0.902.The proportion of type 2 diabetes(T2DM)duration,glomerular grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ,interstitial inflammation score 2,interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy(IFTA)score 2-3 points,estimate glomerular filtration rate＜60 mL/(min·1.73 m2)and the levels of total cholesterol,triglyceride,low-density lipoprotein choles-terol,24 h urinary protein,glycosylated hemoglobin,C-peptide,hematocrit,and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the good prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis showed that the duration of T2DM ≥12.0 years,IFTA score ≥2 points,GDF-11≥700.82 ng/mL,S100A4 ≥ 211.53 ng/L were risk factors for poor prognosis in DN patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum S100A4 and GDF-11 are highly expressed in patients with diabetes mellitus,and are related to the severity and outcome of the disease,which are expected to be potential markers for eval-uating the condition and prognosis of diabetes mellitus.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of E-cadherin and β-catenin and calcium phosphorus metabolism and carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Methods A total of 112 patients with diabetic nephropathy admitted to the hospital from May 2019 to No-vember 2022 were selected as the study group,and were divided into a carotid artery calcification group(n=44)and a non-carotid artery calcification group(n=68)according to the results of bilateral carotid artery col-or Doppler ultrasound.In addition,90 healthy people who underwent physical examination in the hospital dur-ing the same period were selected as the control group.Serum E-cadherin,β-catenin,calcium phosphorus me-tabolism levels were detected and compared.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between serum E-cadherin,β-catenin and calcium phosphorus metabolism in patients with diabetic nephropa-thy.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum E-cad-herin and β-catenin for carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of carotid artery calcification in patients with di-abetic nephropathy.Results The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin,serum phosphorus,calcium-phosphorus product,parathyroid hormone(iPTH),creatinine,alkaline phosphatase and β-catenin in the study group were higher than those in the control group,and the level of E-cadherin was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine,al-kaline phosphatase and β-catenin in the carotid artery calcification group were higher than those in the non-ca-rotid artery calcification group,and the level of E-cadherin was lower than that in the non-carotid artery calci-fication group(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum E-cadherin level in patients with di-abetic nephropathy was negatively correlated with serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine and alkaline phosphatase(r=-0.453,-0.654,-0.365,-0.490,-0.411,-0.377,all P＜0.001).The level of serum β-catenin was positively correlated with serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine,and alkaline phosphatase(r=0.444,0.345,0.421,0.398,0.651,0.622,all P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum E-cad-herin,β-catenin and their combination for predicting carotid artery calcification in diabetic nephropathy were 0.844(95％CI 0.795-0.894),0.853(95％CI 0.801-0.901)and 0.901(95％CI 0.801-0.901),respec-tively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum E-cadherin(OR=3.789,95％CI 2.055-6.983),β-catenin(OR=4.104,95％CI 1.795-9.385),calcium phosphorus product(OR=2.998,95％CI 1.895-4.743)and iPTH(OR=2.713,95％CI 1.787-4.118)were the influencing factors of carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy(P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of β-catenin is increased and the level of E-cadherin is decreased in patients with diabetic nephropathy.β-catenin and E-cadherin are closely related to calcium phosphorus metabolism and carotid artery calcification,which could be used as effec-tive indicators to evaluate carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.The combination ofβ-catenin and E-cadherin has a higher predictive value for carotid artery calcification.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy and prognostic factors of induction therapy for secondary central nervous system lymphoma(SCNSL).Methods:Clinical data of patients diagnosed with SCNSL from 2010 to 2021 at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively collected.A retrospective cohort study was performed on all and grouped patients to analyze the efficacy and survival.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the adverse prognostic factors.Results:Thirty-seven diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients with secondary central involvement were included in the research.Their 2-year overall survival(OS)rate was 46.01％and median survival time was 18.1 months.The 2-year OS rates of HD-MTX group and TMZ group were 34.3％and 61％,median survival time were 8.7 and 38.3 months,and median progression-free survival time were 8.1 and 47 months,respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,sex,IPI,Ann Arbor stage were correlated with patient survival time.The median survival time of patients with CD79B,KMT2D,CXCR4.ERBB2,TBL1XR1,BTG2,MYC,MYD88,and PIM1 mutations was 8.2 months,which was lower than the overall level.Conclusion:HD-MTX combined with TMZ as the first-line strategy may improve patient prognosis,and early application of gene sequencing is beneficial for evaluating prognosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between thyroid function and brain volume in patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods A total of 64 AD patients(AD group)and 36 patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI group)admitted in our department from January 2020 to March 2022 were enrolled in this study.Another 19 healthy individuals who had no cogni-tive impairment or psychiatric disorders were enrolled and served as normal control group.Their levels of free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4)and thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)were detected by electrochemical luminescence assay.Results FT3 level was significantly decreased in the MCI group and AD group than the normal control group[2.50(2.28,2.60)ng/L and 2.07(1.97,2.30)ng/L vs 2.76(2.55,2.93)ng/L,P＜0.05],and the decrease in the AD group was more obvious than that in the MCI group.The volumes of the midbrain,pons,medulla oblon-gata,hippocampus,amygdala and temporal lobe were significantly smaller in the AD group than the MCI group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate linear regres-sion analysis showed that in the AD patients,FT3 and FT4 levels were positively while TSH level was negatively correlated with the volumes of both right and left hippocampus and amygdala(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and TSH level was also negatively correlated with the left temporal lobe volume(P＜0.05).Conclusion Thyroid dysfunction is associated with reduced brain volume in AD patietns,and may contribute to the progression of AD cognitive dysfunction and brain atrophy.
