Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) in cardiac implantable electronic lead-related tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Methods The patients with severe TR who underwent LuX-Valve TTVR in 9 Chinese medical centers from June 2020 to August 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. They were divided into a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) group and a non-CIED group based on whether they had pre-existing CIED implantation. Success of the procedure was defined as safe implantation of the LuX-Valve and complete withdrawal of the delivery system. Prognostic improvement was defined as a decrease of TR grade to≤2+ and an improvement of cardiac function by≥2 grades. Surgical success and postoperative prognosis were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 190 patients were collected, including 50 males and 140 females with a mean age of 66.2±7.8 years. There were 29 patients in the CIED group, and 161 patients in the non-CIED group. In the CIED group, 28 patients were implanted with a permanent pacemaker and 1 patient with a cardioverter-defibrillator. Preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function class, TR degree, left ventricular ejection fraction, tricuspid annular plane systolic excusion, and cardiac risk scores were comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). Postoperative TR was reduced to≤2+ in all patients, and there was no statistical difference in the incidence of perivalvular leakage between the two groups (P=0.270). Postoperative CT of CIED patients showed the valve was in place, and the lead was not extruded, twisted, or deflected. The in-hospital mortality of the two groups were 10.3% and 1.9%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.047). In addition, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative improvement of cardiac function and mortality in the 1- and 2-year follow-up. Conclusion TTVR is feasible, safe, and effective in patients with CIED implantation, and the pre-existing lead has no significant effect on the clinical efficacy.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and application value of an automated method for generation of surgical records for resection of benign soft tissue tumor based on dense video descriptions.Methods:The Transformer deep learning model was used to establish an automated surgical record generation system to analyze the surgical videos of 30 patients with benign soft tissue tumor who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Military Medical University from September 2021 to August 2023. The patient data were randomly divided into training sets, validation sets, and test sets in a ratio of 8∶1∶1. In the test sets, 7 evaluation indexes, BLEU-1, BLEU-2, BLEU-3, BLEU-4, Meteor, Rouge, and CIDEr, were used to evaluate the text quality of surgical records generated by the model. The text of surgical records was compared with the classical algorithm, dense video captioning with paralled decoding (PDVC) in the field of video-intensive description.Results:The automated surgical record generation system running in the test sets showed the following: BLEU-1, BLEU-2, BLEU-3, BLEU-4, Rouge, Meteor, and CIDEr were 16.80, 15.23, 13.01, 11.68, 16.01, 12.67 and 62.30, respectively. The operation of the classical algorithm PDVC showed the following: BLEU-1, BLEU-2, BLEU-3, BLEU-4, Rouge, Meteor, and CIDEr were 15.63, 14.17, 11.90, 10.45, 12.97, 11.99 and 53.64, respectively. The automated surgical record generation system resulted in significant improvements compared with PDVC in all evaluation indexes. The BLEU-4, Rouge, Meteor, and CIDEr were improved by 1.23, 3.04, 0.68 and 8.66, respectively, demonstrating that the system proposed can better capture the key data in the video to help generate more effective text records.Conclusion:As the automated surgical record generation system shows good performance in generating surgical records for resection of benign soft tissue tumor based on intensive video descriptions, it can be applied in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the principles and methods of the Bayesian probabilistic linkage model， and to demonstrate the effect of applying the model in linking birth and death data. MethodsThrough the Shanghai birth and death registration system， data of 199 025 infants born in 2017 and 1 512 infants who died in 2017 and 2018 were collected. After cleaning the data， the data were divided into monthly blocks and fully linked. The Jaro-Winkler algorithm and Euclidean distance were employed to measure the similarity of fields for matching. A Bayesian probabilistic linkage model was constructed and the linking effect was evaluated using a confusion matrix. ResultsUsing the Bayesian probabilistic linkage model， the birth and death data of infants were effectively linked， revealing that 36.71% of infants who died in Shanghai were born outside the city， and the probability of infant death was 2.6‰. The confusion matrix of the test set showed a recall rate of 0.86， precision of 0.76， and an F-score of 0.81. ConclusionThe practical application of Bayesian probabilistic linkage demonstrates a good model performance， enabling the establishment of birth-death cohorts that more accurately reflect the true levels of infant mortality. Utilizing this technique to integrate data from different departments can effectively improve research efficiency in the field of public health.

Objective:To investigate the effect of laboratory indicators on hair loss in patients with female pattern hair loss (FPHL).Methods:Patients with FPHL who visited the Outpatient Clinic of the Department of Medical Aesthetics in Hangzhou First People’s Hospital from November 2022 to November 2023 were selected as the study group, and healthy women who matched the age of the study group in the physical examination center during the same period were selected as the control group. The general information of the patient was recorded, and was also tested by trichoscopy to rule out other patterns of alopecia. Representative indicators including testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate(DHEA-S), thyroid-stimulating hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and serum ferritin were selected from laboratory tests for further analysis. Otherwise, the proportion of deficiency in vitamin D(<20 ng/ml) was calculated based on 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (number of deficiency cases/total number of cases in each group×100%). Count data were presented as samples (percentages), and chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Normally distributed continuous data were presented with Mean±SD, independent samples t-test was used for comparison between groups, M( Q1, Q3) was used for non-normally distributed continuous data, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison between groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of FPHL. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results:A total of 37 patients were selected in both groups. The mean age was (28.8±1.3) years in the study group and (29.6±0.9) years in the control group ( t=0.49, P=0.625). The body mass index was (22.8±0.4) kg/m 2 in the study group, and (23.5±0.3) kg/m 2 in the control group ( t=1.26, P=0.211). The testosterone level was 0.58 (0.49, 0.79) nmol/L in the study group, and 0.54 (0.50, 0.78) nmol/L in the control group( Z=1.42, P=0.157). The level of DHEA-S was 6.21 (5.18, 9.60) μmol/L in the study group, and 6.20 (5.20, 9.34) μmol/L in the control group ( Z=2.75, P=0.006). The level of thyroid-stimulating hormone was 2.56 (1.55, 3.66) mU/L in the study group and 1.49 (1.05, 2.65) mU/L in the control group ( Z=2.51, P=0.012). The level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 15.44 (11.80, 21.20) ng/ml in the study group, and the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 20.32 (12.07, 21.20) ng/ml in the control group ( Z=2.30, P=0.021), and the proportion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency in the study group was 64.9% (24/37), which was higher than that in the control group [40.5% (15/37)] ( χ2=4.39, P=0.036). The serum ferritin level was 64.44 (39.47, 133.45) μg/L in the study group and 67.75 (52.63, 143.83) μg/L in the control group ( Z=0.70, P=0.484). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of FPHL was increased by the high level of DHEA-S and thyroid-stimulating hormone, and the low level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Abnormal level of DHEA-S, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D may be risk factors for FPHL.

Objective To explore the application value of deep learning image reconstruction(DLIR)algorithm in low-dose deep inferior epigastric artery(DIEA)computed tomography angiography(CTA).Methods A total of 59 patients undergoing DIEA CTA were prospectively selected and randomly divided into two groups:group A(29 cases)and group B(30 cases).Group A was the conventional radiation dose group(tube voltage 120 kVp),the tube current was dose modulation 3,and the iterative reconstruction algo-rithm was Karl 5.Group B was the low radiation dose group(tube voltage 120 kVp),the tube current was dose modulation 2,with DLIR reconstruction algorithm,and four levels of DLIR(1-4)were reconstructed and labeled as groups B1 to B4.The mean tube current,vol-ume CT dose index(CTDIvol),and dose length product(DLP)of group A and group B were recorded,and the effective dose(ED)was calculated.The CT and standard deviation(SD)values of the external iliac artery and psoas major muscle were measured on axial images of each group,and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were calculated.Two observers using double-blind method independently evaluated the DIEA on volume rendering(VR)and maximum intensity projection(MIP)images of each group using a 3-point scale,and a 5-point scale was used to evaluate the overall image quality on axial images.Results Compared with group A,the mean tube current and ED in group B were decreased by 39.33％and 44.09％,respectively(P＜0.05).With the increasing of DLIR level from groups B1 to B4,the SD value of the image gradually decreased,while SNR and CNR gradually increased(P＜0.05).The CNR in groups B3 and B4 was higher than that in group A(P＜0.05).The subjective scores of the two observers were consistent(Kappa value 0.779-0.889,P＜0.05),and there was no statistical significance between group A and group B in the perforating vessels from the DIEA,intramuscular course,and the point of emergence(P＞0.05).With the increase in DLIR level,the subjective score of the overall image quality from group B1 to group B4 showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing,and the score of group B3 was the highest(4.50±0.51)points,which had no statistical significance compared with group A(4.45±0.51)points(P＞0.05).Conclusion DLIR can effectively reduce the radiation dose of the DIEA CT A scan and ensure the image quality,among which DLIR 3 is the recommended best reconstruction grade.

Objective To explore the application value of 1 024×1 024 reconstruction matrix combined with iterative reconstruc-tion algorithm(Karl)in deep inferior epigastric artery(DIEA)computed tomography angiography(CTA).Methods A total of 40 patients who underwent DIEA CTA were prospectively selected and the original data were reconstructed by grouping.Group A was reconstructed using a conventional 512×512 matrix combined with Karl 5 grade.Group B was reconstructed using 1 024×1 024 recon-struction matrix combined with Karl 5,7,and 9 grades,respectively,and 3 subgroups B1-B3 were obtained.The CT and standard devia-tion(SD)values of the external iliac artery and psoas major muscle were measured on axial images,and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were calculated.A 3-point scale was used to evaluate the perforating vessels from the DIEA,intramuscular course,point of emergence,superficial inferior epigastric artery(SIEA)and superficial inferior epigastric vein(SIEV)on volume ren-dering(VR)and maximum intensity projection(MIP)images by two observers,and a 5-point scale was used to evaluate the overall image quality on axial images.Results With the increase of Karl grade in groups B1 to B3,the SD value of the external iliac artery decreased gradually(P＜0.05),while SNR and CNR increased gradually(P＜0.05).The SD values of the external iliac artery in group B2 and group B3 were lower than those in group A(P＜0.05),and SNR and CNR were higher than those in group A(P＜0.05).There was a good consistency in the subjective evaluation between the two observers(Kappa values=0.773-0.872,P＜0.05).The perforating vessels from the DIEA,intramuscular course,point of emergence,SIEA and SIEV display and overall image quality subjective scores of group B2 and group B3 were better than those of group A(P＜0.05),and the scores of group B2 showed the greatest improvement.Conclusion The 1 024 × 1 024 reconstruction matrix combined with the Karl 7 reconstruction algorithm can optimize the image quality and improve the display of the DIEA and perforator microvessels.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of posterior adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-Veo(ASIR-V)algorithm combined with full-field organ dose modulation(ODM)technique in low-dose computed tomography urography(CTU).Methods Ninety patients who underwent urological contrast-enhanced and CTU examination were prospectively selected and divided into conventional dose group(group A,NI=11,posterior ASIR-V of 60％),low-dose group(group B,NI=15,posterior ASIR-V of 60％-100％with 10％interval,denoted as B1-B5 groups);full-field ODM low-dose group(group C,NI=15,posterior ASIR-V of 60％-100％with 10％interval,denoted as C1-C5 groups)according to the noise index(NI).The volume rendering(VR)and maximum intensity projection(MIP)images were reconstructed.The CT values and standard deviation(SD)values of the renal cortex and para-spinal muscles were measured,and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were cal-culated.The CT values of the renal pelvis,ureter,and bladder were measured,and the SNR and CNR were calculated with the para-spinal muscles as background.The subjective score was performed on the two-dimensional and three-dimensional images to evaluate the ability of CTU to display lesions.The volume CT dose index(CTDIvol),dose length product(DLP),and effective dose(ED)of the three groups were compared.Results The bladder SNR and CNR of groups B1,C1,and C2 were lower than those of group A(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the SNR and CNR of each tissue between groups B2,C3 and group A(P＞0.05).The SNR and CNR of each tissue in groups B4,B5,and C5 were higher than those in group A(P＜0.05).The display rate of lesions in urinary system in groups B2 and C3 could reach 100％.There was no statistically significant difference in the axial image scores between groups B2,C3 and group A(P＞0.05),while the VR and MIP image scores in each group were comparable to those in group A(P＞0.05).The CTDIvol of groups A,B and C were(6.08±2.11)mGy,(3.15±1.15)mGy,and(2.9±0.92)mGy,respectively.Conclusion CTU using the full-field ODM technique combined with posterior 80％ASIR-V can reduce the CTDIvol by 52.30％,and further reduce by 7.93％compared with group B,which is effective to reduce radiation to the gonads.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of short-term re-obstruction after plastic stent placement by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction.Methods A retrospective study was performed on clinical data of 93 patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction who underwent ERCP biliary plastic stent placement from January 2015 to January 2024.Understanding the effects of general information,clinical characteristics,operative-related factors,and laboratory-related indicators on postoperative short-term re-obstruction.The dependent variable was whether biliary stent re-obstruction in short-term after operation,univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors for the patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction occurred re-obstruction in short-term after ERCP plastic stent placement.Results Among the 93 patients,49 patients had short-term recurrent biliary stent obstruction after plastic stent placement by ERCP and the recurrence rate was 52.7%.Univariate analysis showed that gender,types of malignant biliary strictures,preoperative cholangitis,no drainage before operation and endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST)during ERCP plastic stent placement,location of stent placement,fever within 24 h after ERCP plastic stent placement,the decrease less than 50%of total bilirubin(TBiL)at 2 weeks after operation,the decrease less than＜50%of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)at 2 weeks after operation,GGT and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)by less than 50%at 2 weeks after operation were potential risk factors affecting for short-term re-obstruction after ERCP plastic stent placement in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction.Multivariate analysis showed that,no drainage before operation(O＾R=5.738,P=0.013),preoperative cholangitis(O＾R=5.347,P=0.025)and place stents on the left or on the right(O＾R=6.739,P=0.014;O＾R=9.719,P=0.005)were independent risk factors for short-term re-obstruction after ERCP plastic stent placement.Conclusion No drainage before operation,preoperative cholangitis,place stents on the left or on the right are independent risk factors for short-term re-obstruction after ERCP plastic stent placement in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction.Early identification of risk groups and timely intervention of risk factors in clinical practice are of great significance for the prevention of short-term re-obstruction after ERCP plastic stent placement in such patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of different stents placement under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)in patients with malignant biliary obstruction(MBO)and the effect on patient survival time.Methods Clinical data of MBO patients treated with ERCP stent placement between January 2020 and March 2024 were collected,divided into recyclable stent group(33 cases),metal stent group(42 cases),and ordinary stent group(34 cases).Comparation of the three groups of preoperative and postoperative changes in liver function,complications of long-term cholangitis and pancreatitis,stent patency time,success rate of stent removal with a single clamping,survival time,monitoring follow-up situation.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the liver function of the three groups of patients before stent placement(P>0.05);One week after stent placement,the difference compared with preoperative between direct bilirubin(DBiL)and total bilirubin(TBiL)in the recyclable stent group and the metal stent group was significantly higher than that in the ordinary stent group,and the difference between the ordinary stent group and other two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of cholangitis in the recyclable stent group was the lowest,followed by the ordinary plastic biliary stent,and the metal biliary stent had the highest incidence of cholangitis,the incidence of cholangitis in the long term after stent placement was compared among the three groups of patients with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative pancreatitis in the three groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The success rate of stent removal with a single clamping was higher in the recyclable stent group than the ordinary stent group.Comparison of median stent patency time among the three groups,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The metal stent group had the longest median patency time of 194.0 d,recyclable plastic stent had the second longest median patency time of 126.0 d,and ordinary plastic biliary stent had the shortest median patency time of 92.0 d.Median survival time among the three groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The recyclable plastic biliary stent had the longest median survival time of 590.0 d,metal biliary stent had the second longest median survival time of 476.0 d,and ordinary plastic biliary stent had the shortest median survival time of 453.0 d.Conclusion Recyclable plastic biliary stent has a faster decrease in bilirubin index compared with the ordinary stent group after operation.And the recyclable plastic stent group has lower incidence of long-term cholangitis,higher success rate of one-time clamping of the stent,and more advantages in time to stent patency and survival time compared with ordinary plastic biliary stent,which is an effective choice of stenting modality for ERCP stent placement in patients with MBO.
