ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility， safety， and efficacy of surgery-assisted transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt （SA-TIPS） in the treatment of portal hypertension comorbid with complex portal vein thrombosis， including cavernous transformation of the portal vein （CTPV）. MethodsAn analysis was performed for the data of 36 patients with portal hypertension and complex portal vein thrombosis who underwent SA-TIPS in Beijing Shijitan Hospital， Capital Medical University， from November 2023 to January 2025， including general status， technical data of the surgical process （surgical success rate， puncture times， time of operation， the number of stents used， and the length of shunt）， perioperative complications， and surgical recovery. The change in portal pressure gradient （PPG） after shunt was compared， and the rate of reaching the standard for PPG reduction was calculated， as well as stent patency rate within 1 week after surgery. The paired samples t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsAmong the 36 patients， 34 （94.4%） underwent SA-TIPS successfully. The incidence rate of perioperative complications was 16.7% （6/36）， including 3 cases of thoraco-abdominal hemorrhage， 2 cases of intraoperative arrhythmia， and 1 case of incision infection. There was a significant reduction in PPG after SA-TIPS （t=19.85， P<0.01）， and the patients achieving a ≥50% reduction in PPG accounted for 76.5% （26/34）. Imaging reexamination within 1 week showed a shunt patency rate of 100%. ConclusionSA-TIPS has a high technical success rate， a favorable safety profile， and good efficacy in the treatment of portal hypertension comorbid with complex portal vein thrombosis （including CTPV）， and therefore， it holds promise for clinical application.

Objective To explore the clinical study of the treatment of Diabetic foot with wound negative pressure treatment(NPWT)combined with periosteal distraction.Methods 129 patients with Diabetic foot admitted to our hospital from June 2022 to April 2023 were randomly divided into a combination group(n=43),a negative pressure group(n=43),and a control group(n=43).The control group was treated with conventional treatment,the negative pressure group was treated with NPWT,and the combined group was combined with periosteal distraction technique on the basis of the negative pressure group.The treatment efficiency,inflammatory index level,peripheral blood picture level,visual pain(VAS)score,and foot related index level of the three groups were compared.Results After 4 weeks of treatment,the scores of pain scale(VAS),white blood cell count(WBC),Calcitonin(PCT),Interleukin 6(IL-6),and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs CRP)in the combined group were lower than those in the other two groups(P＜0.05);The effective rate,foot temperature,toe blood oxygen,Ankle-brachial pressure index,vascular diameter,blood flow velocity,and perfusion index(PI)of the combined group were higher than those of the other two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of wound negative pressure therapy and periosteal distraction surgery can effectively alleviate pain,improve foot blood supply,and alleviate inflammatory reactions.

Background and Purpose:The early prediction of local tumor progression-free survival(LTPFS)after radiofrequency ablation(RFA)for colorectal cancer(CRC)lung metastases has significant clinical importance.The application of radiomics in the prediction of tumor prognosis has been explored.This study aimed to construct a radiomics-based nomogram for predicting LTPFS after RFA in CRC patients with lung metastases.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed 172 CRC patients with 401 lung metastases admitted to Department of Interventional Radiology,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from August 2016 to January 2019.This study was reviewed by the medical ethics committee of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(ethics number:2402291-24).After augmentation of pre-ablation and immediate post-ablation computed tomography(CT)images,the target metastases and ablation regions were segmented manually to extract the radiomic features.Maximum relevance and minimum redundancy algorithm(MRMRA)and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression models were applied for feature selection.The clinical model,the radiomics model,and the fusion model were constructed based on the selected radiomic features and clinical variables screened by the multivariate analysis.The Harrell concordance index(C-index)and area under receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the prediction performance.Finally,the corresponding nomogram of the best model was drawn.Results:Among all the lung metastases,102(25.4%)had final recurrence,and 299(74.6%)had complete response(CR).The median follow-up time was 21 months(95%CI:19.466-22.534),and the LTPFS rates at 1,2,and 3 years after RFA were 76.5%(95%CI:72.0-80.4),72.1%(95%CI:66.6-76.9)and 69.9%(95%CI:64.0-75.1).In both the training and test dataset,the fusion model based on the final 12 radiomic features through the LASSO regression and 4 clinical variables screened by multivariate analysis achieved the highest AUC values for LTPFS,with C-index values of 0.890(95%CI:0.854-0.927)and 0.843(95%CI:0.768-0.916),respectively.Conclusion:The fusion model based on radiomic features and clinical variables is feasible for predicting LTPFS after RFA of CRC patients with lung metastases,whose performance is superior to the single radiomic and clinical model.At the same time,the nomogram of the fusion model can intuitively predict the prognosis of CRC patients with lung metastases after RFA,thus assisting clinicians in developing individualized follow-up review plans for patients and adjusting treatment strategies flexibly.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in maintaining tissue morphology and functions, and their precise regulatory effectiveness is closely related to expression patterns. However, the spatial expression patterns of lncRNAs in humans are poorly characterized. Here, we constructed five comprehensive transcriptomic atlases of human lncRNAs covering thousands of major tissue samples in normal and disease states. The lncRNA transcriptomes exhibited high consistency within the same tissues across resources, and even higher complexity in specialized tissues. Tissue-elevated (TE) lncRNAs were identified in each resource and robust TE lncRNAs were refined by integrative analysis. We detected 1 to 4684 robust TE lncRNAs across tissues; the highest number was in testis tissue, followed by brain tissue. Functional analyses of TE lncRNAs indicated important roles in corresponding tissue-related pathways. Moreover, we found that the expression features of robust TE lncRNAs made them be effective biomarkers to distinguish tissues; TE lncRNAs also tended to be associated with cancer, and exhibited differential expression or were correlated with patient survival. In summary, spatial classification of lncRNAs is the starting point for elucidating the function of lncRNAs in both maintenance of tissue morphology and progress of tissue-constricted diseases.

Objective:To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) -infected pneumonia in Enshi, Hubei, and to improve the awareness of the disease, which is key for surveillance and control measures of 2019-nCoV pneumonia in the region.Methods:The first 66 laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV patients in Enshi between January 23, 2020 and February 1, 2020 were included. Their epidemiological data, demographic data, clinical data and therapeutic effect were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the first 66 patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV, patients had an average age of 46±9 years, 35 (53.0%) patients were male and 31 (47.0%) female; 38 (57.6%) patients were Han, 18 (27.3%) were Tujia, and 10 (15.1%) were Miao. Thirty-seven (56%) patients had chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, chronic bronchus, inflammation, diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and rheumatoid arthritis. All the patients had a history of exposure or indirect exposure in Wuhan epidemic area, mainly history of Wuhan sojourner. The mean incubation period varied from 2.5-16 days, with the 95th percentile of the distribution at 7 days. The main clinical manifestation were fever [66 (100%) patients], dry cough [56 (84.8%)], chest tightness [21 (31.8%)], shortness of breath [8 (12.1%)], massive fatigue [23 (34.8%)], muscle ache [6 (9.1%)], headache [4 (6.1%)], sore throat [13 (19.7%) ], rhinorrhoea [11 (16.7%) ], and diarrhea [ 5 (7.6%)]. Six (9.1%) critically ill patients and 4 (6.1%) critically ill patients had dyspnea. White blood cell counts were normal or decreased in 51 (77.3%) patients, and increased in 15 (22.7%). Lymphocyte counts were reduced or normal in 58 (87.9%) patients, and increased in 8 (12.1%) patients. Most patients had elevated CRP and erythrocyte sedimentation, and some patients had normal ranges of liver function, renal function, and electrolytes. Ten severely ill patients had elevated liver enzymes and cardiac enzymes (especially K and CKMB). There were significant differences in inflammatory markers among patients of different nationalities. Arterial blood gas analysis in 56 (84.8%) mild patients showed no significant abnormalities. Chest CT scans of 66 patients showed single or multiple small patchy shadows and interstitial changes, which were evident in the extrapulmonary band. All patients were hospitalized and isolated for treatment. Of the 66 patients received oxygen therapy, most of them received antiviral therapy (abidol/Kaletra, 0.2 g po tid/2 pills po bid) and interferon (aerosol inhalation), few patient received antibacterial therapy (Tanreqing, 20 mL ivgtt qd) and glucocorticoid therapy (methylprednisolone, 40 mg ivgtt bid), and supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Six (9.1%) severely ill patients and 4 (6.1%) critically ill patients treated with non-invasive or invasive ventilator.Conclusions:The patients in this study are all imported cases. Most patients have mild clinical symptoms. The lungs show single or multiple small patchy shadows and interstitial changes, which are obvious with extrapulmonary bands. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and the above-mentioned symptomatic treatment scheme is effective. The overall morbidity and mortality in this region are lower than those in other parts of the province, and the mortality and critical illness rate of ethnic minority patients are lower than those of Han patients. There are significant differences in inflammatory markers such as leukocytes and lymphocytes among patients of different nationalities.

Objective We utilized a joint independent component analysis (Joint ICA), a novel method that combined rs?fMRI and DTI information, to describe comprehensive characteristics of brain functional activities and microstructural changes in the continuum of AD. Methods We employed a Joint ICA to calculate ALFF maps of fMRI data and FA maps of DTI data and fuse them in healthy controls (n=68), SCD (n=35), amnesic MCI (n=47) and AD (n=31). Besides, we applied one way ANOVA to detect the significant differences of joint components among groups, while controlling the age, gender, education, head motion, volumes of gray matter, white matter and CSF. Partial correlation analysis was used to test the relationships between joint ICs and cognitive measures. Results The results showed that there was no inner?group difference in HC and SCD groups (F=14.16, P<0.05). Compared to HC, SCD and AD groups, the ALFF component of aMCI group showed higher values in the bilateral cerebellum, bilateral precuneus, bilateral angular gyrus, bilateral frontal gyrus, bilateral temporal areas, thalamus and left insula. And in these regions, the ALFF of AD group was lower than HC. For the FA component map, same differences were found in the corpus callosum and limbic system. Furthermore, positive partial correlation between the IC weights and Mini?Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores was also found (r=0.29, P<0.01). Conclusions Multi?modal evaluation of AD has been implemented by using Joint ICA analysis of fMRI?DTI, which would contribute to early prediction, diagnosis, and even effective intervention in AD. These findings could help to explain the underlying mechanism of the disease progression.

Objective:To study the correllation of genetic polymorphisms of IL-10 polymorphic loci with ulcerative colitis sus-ceptibility and its influence on clinical outcomes.Methods:A total of 80 patients with ulcerative colitis were selected as case group and the others by sex and age matched healthy subjects as control group according to the case-control study design.Peripheral venous blood samples were drawn and DNA was extracted from all subjects prior to treatment.PCR primers of -819T/C(rs1800871),-592A/C (rs1800872),-1082G/A(rs1800896) were designed for PCR amplification.The fragments produced from human genomic DNA were performed by restriction enzyme digestion of amplified PCR products,and further separated using agarose gel electrophoresis.Relative risk(OR) and 95%confidence interval(95%CI) were calculated by the Logistic regression,in order to evaluate the correlation of IL-10 gene polymorphism with susceptibility of ulcerative colitis and clinical outcomes.Results:(1)The distribution frequency of genotype AA,GG and AG of polymorphic loci rs1800896 in cases patients were significantly different from that in control group(P<0.01).(2) Compared to rs1800896 genotype AA,genotype GG were significantly associated with increased risk for ulcerative colitis(P<0.01)and the decreased clinical remission rate ( P<0.01 ).( 3 ) The distribution frequency of genotype CC, CT and TT of polymorphic loci rs1800871 were not significantly different between groups(P>0.05).(4)The distribution frequency of genotype AA,AC and CC of polymorphic loci rs1800872 were not significantly different between groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:IL-10 polymorphic loci rs1800896 genotype GG would be associated with increased susceptibility to ulcerative colitis,and poor prognosis of patients.
