Objective To compare multiple models and analyze SHAP feature contributions to construct a machine learning risk prediction model for post-reperfusion syndrome (PRS) during adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Methods Clinical data of 390 patients who underwent LDLT due to end-stage liver disease at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from May 2023 to April 2025 were collected. Five machine learning models, including random forest, logistic regression, XGBoost, decision tree, and AdaBoost, were compared. Feature selection was performed using Lasso regression, and the training set was divided into five folds for stratified cross-validation. The generalization ability of the model was evaluated on the independent test set. The models were comprehensively compared based on key evaluation indicators such as recall rate, accuracy rate, precision rate, area under the curve (AUC) and F1 value, to determine the optimal model. Results Eight potential factors for predicting PRS were selected. The random forest model demonstrated the best prediction performance in both the training set and the test set. Its accuracy rate was as high as 84.2% (AUC = 0.894, 95% confidence interval 0.808-0.964) in the test set. The importance ranking of PRS predictors was determined through SHAP value analysis. Cold ischemia time, K+ during the anhepatic period and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score were all identified as the most significant predictors. Conclusions Based on eight key indicators including cold ischemia time, portal vein occlusion time, pre-reperfusion body temperature, alkaline reserve during the anhepatic period, K+ during the anhepatic period, MELD score, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and graft volume to standard liver volume ratio, the PRS prediction model constructed using the random forest algorithm demonstrates the best prediction performance in the test set, providing certain assistance for subsequent clinical predictions.

Objective To introduce the causes of accidents and the diagnosis and treatment of two patients with radiation-induced skin injury admitted to our hospital in 2023, and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of subsequent radiation-induced skin injury. Methods The clinical treatment process of two patients with acute skin injury caused by external radiation exposure were summarized and analyzed. Results The exposure history of the two patients was reconstructed, the flaw detection scenario was simulated, the biological dose and hand skin exposure dose were estimated, and the infrared thermal imaging device was used for dynamic monitoring. A comprehensive analysis was conducted based on clinical manifestations and other data. The diagnosis of “Xie” was excessive exposure combined with acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade IV for the right hand palm, index finger, and middle finger and Grade II for the left hand little finger). The diagnosis of “Hao” was acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade I). The two patients received different clinical treatment measures: “Xie” was treated with both local and systemic therapies, while “Hao” was mainly treated with systemic therapy. Conclusion After systematic and effective treatment, the radiation-induced skin injuries healed in both patients.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Metformin has been demonstrated to attenuate hyperglycaemia by modulating the gut microbiota. However, the mechanisms through which the microbiome mediates metformin monotherapy failure (MMF) are unclear. Herein, in a prospective clinical cohort study of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients treated with metformin monotherapy, metagenomic sequencing of faecal samples revealed that Phocaeicola vulgatus abundance was approximately 12 times higher in nonresponders than in responders. P. vulgatus rapidly hydrolysed taurine-conjugated bile acids, leading to ceramide accumulation and reversing the improvements in glucose intolerance conferred by metformin in high-fat diet-fed mice. Interestingly, C22:0 ceramide bound to mitochondrial fission factor to induce mitochondrial fragmentation and impair hepatic oxidative phosphorylation in P. vulgatus-colonized hyperglycaemic mice, which could be exacerbated by metformin. This work suggests that metformin may be unsuitable for P. vulgatus-rich T2DM patients and that clinicians should be aware of metformin toxicity to mitochondria. Suppressing P. vulgatus growth with cefaclor or improving mitochondrial function using adenosylcobalamin may represent simple, safe, effective therapeutic strategies for addressing MMF.

The classical latent structure method does not consider the influence of primary and secondary symptoms,syndromes and symptoms in the analysis and modeling of syndromes.In this paper,based on the data of damp-heat in intestine and stomach syndrome involving 1087 diabetic patients,the classical latent structure analysis was used to obtain the quantitative syndrome diagnostic rules.Then,using Constrained Latent Tree Analysis(CLTA),the quantitative syndrome diagnostic rules containing primary and secondary symptoms were obtained as follows,primary symptoms include halitosis(2.3),yellow tongue coating(2),abdominal distension(2.3),greasy tongue coating(2.1),loose stool or loose stool(1.5),red tongue(1.3),smooth pulse(1.4).Secondary symptoms include epigastric distension(1.1).Compared with the traditional latent structure analysis method,the rules established by CLTA are more compatible with the concept of differentiating primary and secondary symptoms and the common practice of TCM.The quantitative syndrome diagnostic rules of damp-heat in intestine and stomach syndrome constructed by the CLTA method have considerable objectivity in the modeling process.The diagnostic rules established were also compatible with the qualitative concept of TCM theory in stratifying primary and secondary symptoms.Finally,the diagnostic rules are obtained by logistic regression analysis,and the accuracy of the three rules is compared.The results show that the rule recognition accuracy obtained by CLTA is the highest.Therefore,the syndrome diagnostic rules of damp-heat in intestine and stomach obtained from the analysis of CLTA are in line with the constraint semantics of primary and secondary diseases and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
