Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System(VI-RADS)based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging(mp-MRI)for muscle-invasive bladder cancer(MIBC).Methods:A systematic search was conducted in PubMed,Web of Science,and Embase databases for studies published between September 2018 and December 2023 that investigated the use of VI-RADS for diagnosing MIBC. Inclusion criteria were studies utilizing mp-MRI-based VI-RADS scoring to determine MIBC. Exclusion criteria were studies with fewer than 10 patients,overlapping study populations,or those failing to assess the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS for MIBC. After quality assessment,RevMan 5.4 and Stata 15.1 were used to calculate pooled sensitivity and specificity,generate forest plots and summary receiver operating characteristic(SROC)curves,and determine the area under the curve(AUC). Publication bias was assessed using Deeks funnel plot. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 statistic,with meta-regression and subgroup analyses to explore its sources. Results:Twenty-nine studies involving 3 577 patients were included. At a VI-RADS cutoff of 3,the pooled sensitivity and specificity for MIBC diagnosis were 93%(95%CI 0.90-0.95)and 82%(95%CI 0.76-0.88),respectively. At a cutoff of 4,these values were 83%(95%CI 0.78-0.87)and 93%(95%CI 0.90-0.95). The hierarchical SROC(HSROC)AUCs were 0.95 and 0.94 for cutoffs of 3 and 4,respectively. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses revealed that at a cutoff of 3,patient sample size,study design,MRI field strength,number of radiologists,surgical approach,and DWI/DCE imaging planes contributed to sensitivity heterogeneity( P < 0.05). All factors except study design and DWI plane were sources of specificity heterogeneity( P < 0.05). At a cutoff of 4,all factors significantly influenced heterogeneity in both sensitivity and specificity( P < 0.05). Meta-regression confirmed that both cutoffs(3 and 4)were significant sources of heterogeneity( P < 0.05). Conclusions:VI-RADS demonstrates excellent diagnostic performance for MIBC at both cutoffs(3 and 4),with VI-RADS ≥ 3 showing superior sensitivity and VI-RADS ≥ 4 offering higher specificity. The cutoff of 3 provides better overall diagnostic efficacy.

Objective :
To explore the adverse effects of mild traumatic brain injury ( MTBI) on the memory monito- ring function of patients.
Methods :
This study adopted a paired control research method,combined neuropsycho- logical background tests and memory monitoring task ( feeling of knowing,FOK) to conduct cognitive assessments on two groups of subjects: the patient group ( n = 42) and the matched control group ( n = 42) .
Results :
In neuropsychological background test,the patients' performance in digit span test,Stroop color task,digit link task and auditory verbal learning test were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0. 05) .In addition,there was significant difference in accuracy of FOK task between the two groups ( P <0. 05) .The ratio of right judge- ment / right recognition was relatively high in the control group,while the ratio of correct judgement /wrong recogni- tion was relatively high in the patient group.
Conclusion
This study confirms that memory impairment in MTBI patients is centered on damage to memory monitoring function.Moreover,the damage to attention,execution,and item content memory abilities in MTBI patients are important driving factors for their memory monitoring dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE To establish the characteristic chromatogram of Chaenomeles sinensis, determine the contents of rutin, hyperin and quercitrin, and to identify C. sinensis and C. speciosa. METHODS HPLC method was performed on Agilent 5 TC-C18 column, with acetonitrile-0.2% formic acid solution as the mobile phase for gradient elution, at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃ . The detection wavelength was 330 nm in characteristic chromatogram and 350 nm in content determination. The characteristic chromatogram of C. sinensis was established and similarity was evaluated by the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (2012 edition). Hierarchical cluster analysis of 15 batches of C. sinensis (S1-S15) was performed by using SPSS 23.0 software. The contents of 3 flavones in 15 batches of C. sinensis and 7 batches of C. speciosa (S16-S22) were determined, while their characteristic chromatograms were compared. RESULTS The similarities of the characteristic chromatogram for 15 batches of C. sinensis ranged from 0.783 to 0.969, and 11 characteristic peaks were confirmed. Four constituents were identified as chlorogenic acid, rutin, hyperin and quercitrin. The medicinal materials in 15 batches of C. sinensis could be divided into 2 categories: S5-S8 were one category, and the others belonged to one category. The characteristic chromatogram of C. sinensis was obviously different from C. speciosa. The contents of rutin, hyperin and quercitrin in 15 batches of C. sinensis were 48.99-294.45, 3.49-102.55, 31.98-149.49 μg/g, respectively. The content of rutin in C. speciosa was lower than that in C. sinensis. None of hyperin (except for S20) and quercitrin were detected in C. speciosa. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic chromatogram and the method for content determination of 3 flavones in C. sinensis are established successfully and can be used for the quality control of C. sinensis and its identification from C. speciosa.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had an adverse impact on the physical and mental health of the public worldwide. In addition to illness in patients with COVID-19, isolated people and the general population have experienced mental health problems due to social distancing policies, mandatory lockdown, and other psychosocial factors, and the prevalence of depression and anxiety significantly increased during the pandemic. The purpose of this review is to elucidate the epidemiology, contributing factors, and pathogenesis of depression and anxiety. during the pandemic. These findings indicate that physicians and psychiatrists should pay more attention to and identify those with a high risk for mental problems, such as females, younger people, unmarried people, and those with a low educational level. In addition, researchers should focus on identifying the neural and neuroimmune mechanisms involved in depression and anxiety, and assess the intestinal microbiome to identify effective biomarkers. We also provide an overview of various intervention methods, including pharmacological treatment, psychological therapy, and physiotherapy, to provide a reference for different populations to guide the development of optimized intervention methods.

The presence of tension blister often predicts severe soft tissue damage,which not only increases the risk of wound complications but also prolongs the surgical treatment time. However,the developed tension blister has been proposed as a potential decompressive approach for it may relieve the pressure of osteofascial compartment and improve the likelihood of relieving clinical symptoms,as well as avoid unnecessary surgery in cases of suspected osteofascial compartment syndrome. Recently,the osteofascial system has been increasingly recognized that associations were found between the tension blister and osteofascial self-release processing. Thus,the timing of blister occurrence and regression substantially influences physicians′ clinical decisions,making blister management as part of the treatment of fractures. In this review,the authors give an overview of the characteristics,mechanism,stress reduction effect,prevention,current treatment status and complications of the fracture-related tension blister,hoping to help orthopedic physicians understand and treat the tensile blister.
