Objective To verify the efficacy and safety of intravesical instillation of Cystistat in reducing complications caused by intravesical chemotherapy after TUR-BT in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients. Methods One hundred and twenty patients who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled into this multi-centered, randomized and blank controlled clinical study. Selected patients were randomized into the observation group and control group. TUR-BT was carried out in both groups followed by pirarubicin (THP) and Cystistat intravesical instillation in the observation group, and THP intravesical instillation alone in control group. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used as the primary efficacy variable. The secondary efficacy variables were assessments of hematuria and bladder irritation symptoms. Adverse events, laboratory tests and changes of vital signs before and after treatment were strictly observed during observation to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cystistat.Results Demographics and baseline characteristics were comparable in both groups. The differences and the improvement rate of VAS score in the 2 groups were significant, both P<0.01. The changes of VAS score and the improvement rate before and after treatment were (2. 24±1.70) and (92. 92±14.76) % in observation group and (0. 70±1.82) and (20. 59±87.34)% in control group respectively. According to the covariance analysis, there were significant differences in changes of VAS score between the observation group and the control group. Also, the improvement rate of VAS score was significant from visit 2. The urine frequency decreased from 9.06±4.09 to 6. 69±2.89 in observation group and increased from 8. 85±3. 32 to 10. 15±4.40 in control group, P<0.01. There were also significant differences in changes of nocturia before and after treatment between these two groups (P<0.01), the nocturia decreased from 2. 88±1.74 to 1. 47±1.62 in observation group and 3. 22±2.30 to 2.91±1.73 in control group, respectively. The changes of WHO assessment for hematuria,urgency and dysuria were not significantly different between the 2 groups. No Cystistat related adverse event was observed. Conclusions Cystistat combined instillation can significantly improve the VAS score of patients with chemotherapeutic agent instillation. Relief of bladder pain, frequency and nocturia are more rapidly and more durable in Cystistat combined instillation group. The improvement is more effective in patients with a high VAS score. Cystistat instillation with chemotherapeutics agents is both well tolerated and safe.

Objective To investigate the differences in GD-EOB-DTPA multi-modality MR images be-tween well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma(WHCC)and non well-differentiated HCC.Methods The clin-ical and MR images of 57 patients with pathologically proved HCC were retrospectively collected. All patients un-derwent abdominal enhancement MRI,including T1 weighted and T2 weighted imaging(T1WI and T2WI),diffu-sion weighted imaging(DWI),the apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)map,and gadoxetic acid-enhanced multi-phase sequences. The patients were classified into well-differentiated HCC(WHCC)group and non-WHCC group which combined moderate HCC and poor differentiated HCC according to their histopathological differentiation.Dif-ferences of T1WI,T2WI,DWI,ADC map,the types of HCC on hepatobiliary phase(HBP)images,and enhance-ment patterns on dynamic images were compared. The chi-square test or Fisher exact was used for comparing the imaging signal differences between WHCC and non-WHCC. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent predictors of WHCC. Results T1WI signal intensities,HBP signal types,enhancement patterns and ADC maps showed statistical significance between WHCC and non-WHCC(P<0.05).But,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that signal intensities on T1WI were independent risk factors for WHCC(P =0.001). In addition,hyperintense on T1WI showed higher statistical significance compared with isointense or hy-pointense on T1WI(P = 0.002). Conclusions Multi-modality of GD-EOB-DTPA MRI is useful for assessing WHCC. The signal intensities on T1WI are independent risk factors for evaluating WHCC. Moreover,WHCC are more likely in hyperintense T1WI signal intensity.

Objective To establish a prediction model for lymph node metastasis(LNM)of gastric cancer based on routine laboratory indicators using machine learning algorithms.Methods This study collected data of 741 gastric cancer patients at Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University between January 2020 and January 2022 for model training and testing.Additionally,data of 102 gastric cancer patients between January 2023 and October 2023 were collected for model validation.XGBoost algorithm was used to calculate the importance of indicators and filter out a set of important indicators from 66 indicators.Five machine learning algorithms,including K-Nearest Neighbor,Support Vector Machine,Multilayer Perceptron,Random Forest and Adaboost,were constructed and trained for comparative analysis.Furthermore,the stability and accuracy of the model were further validated on the validation set.Results This study selected a set of important indicators composed of 9 routine laboratory indicators and trained the gastric cancer LNM prediction model,named V9.Additionally,through comparative experiments,it was found that the Adaboost algorithm based on the boosting strategy had the best performance,with evaluation metrics such as area under the curve,F1 score,accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity ranging from 0.833 to 0.968.The accuracy of the predictions on the validation set was 94.12%.Conclusion V9 was a gastric cancer LNM prediction model that has auxiliary clinical diagnostic value.It can be used to assess the risk of patients accurately and provide a basis for clinical decision-making.

Background/Aims:
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a catastrophic illness. Few studies investigated the prognostic value of vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP) for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related ACLF (HBV-ACLF) resulted in conflicting results.
Methods:
Two prospective HBV-ACLF cohorts (n=287 and n=119) were enrolled to assess and validate the prognostic performance of VDBP.
Results:
VDBP levels in the non-survivors were significantly lower than in the survivors (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression demonstrated that VDBP was an independent prognostic factor for HBV-ACLF. The VDBP level at admission gradually decreased as the number of failed organs increased (P<0.001), and it was closely related to coagulation failure. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) of the Child-Pugh-VDBP and chronic liver failuresequential organ failure assessment (CLIF–SOFA)-VDBP scores were significantly higher than those of Child-Pugh (P<0.001) and CLIF-SOFA (P=0.0013). The AUCs of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)-VDBP were significantly higher than those of MELD (P= 0.0384) only in the case of cirrhotic HBV-ACLF patients. Similar results were validated using an external multicenter HBV-ACLF cohort. By longitudinal observation, the VDBP levels gradually increased in survivors (P=0.026) and gradually decreased in non-survivors (P<0.001). Additionally, the VDBP levels were found to be significantly decreased in the deterioration group (P=0.012) and tended to be decreased in the fluctuation group (P=0.055). In contrast, they showed a significant increase in the improvement group (P=0.036).
Conclusions
The VDBP was a promising prognostic biomarker for HBV-ACLF. Sequential measurement of circulating VDBP shows value for the monitoring of ACLF progression.
