Objective To investigate the relationship between coronary artery plaque AI quantitative parameter and FFR-CT in coronary computed tomography angiography.Methods A total of 84 patients suspected of having CAD[52 males and 32 females,aged 27 to 81 years with a mean age of(58.1±11.9)years]were enrolled in this study.All patients underwent coronary computed tomography angiography.The CCTA data was processed using shukun(SK)software for labeling and analysis of the coronary arteries,as well as obtaining quantitative parameters of coronary artery plaque AI and corresponding FFR-CT values.The quantitative parameters included plaque length,total volume,minimum lumen area(MLA),minimal lumen degree(MLD),lipid composition volume and proportion,fibrous-lipid composition volume and proportion,fibrous composition volume and proportion,calcified composition volume and proportion.Coronary artery hemodynamic abnormality or myocardial ischemia was defined as an FFR-CT value≤0.8.Correlational analysis was performed to evaluate the association between AI plaque quantitative param-eters and FFR-CT values.Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for predicting FFR-CT≤0.8.The predictive performance of the model based on AI plaque quantitative parameters was assessed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis and calculation of the area under the curve(AUC).Sensitivities,specificities,diagnostic test accuracy rates were also calculated.Results The predominant symptoms observed in the cohort of 84 patients were chest pain(n=39,46.4%)and distress(n=27,32.1%).Spearman analysis results revealed a weak positive correlation between FFR-CT and MLA(r=0.49,P<0.0001),while weak negative correlations were found for plaque length,total volume,lipid composition volume,fibrous-lipid composition volume,fibrous composition volume,and calcified composition volume(r=-0.44,-0.56,-0.40,-0.36,-0.42,-0.40;all P<0.05).Additionally,MLD exhibited a moderate negative correlation with FFR-CT(r=-0.60,P<0.0001).In the univariate binary logistic regression analysis,several variables including plaque length,total volume,MLA,MLD,lipid composition volume,fibrous-lipid composition volume,fibrous composition volume,and calcified composition volume were found to be independently associated with FFR-CT≤0.8(All P<0.05).The adjusted multivariate binary logistic regression analysis model revealed that MLD was the sole independent predictor(OR=1.082,95%CI:1.034～1.133,P=0.001).The logistics re-gression model expression was logit(P)=0.079X1-4.052,where X1 represents the value of MLD and achieved a predictive accuracy of 85.2%.The ROC AUC of plaque length,total volume,MLA,MLD,lipid composition vol-ume,fibrous-lipid composition volume,fibrous composition volume and calcified composition volume were 0.796,0.886,0.711,0.754 and 0.698 respectively,and the coresponding sensitivities and specificities were 47.83%,73.91%,73.90%,52.17%,60.87%and 92.11%,73.68%,60.53%,84.21%,89.47%.The five in-dexes combined diagnostic model possessed the largest AUC of 0.906,and 73.91%,71.05%of sensitivity and specificity.Conclusion The AI quantitative parameters of coronary artery plaque exhibited varying degrees of correlation with FFR-CT,while MLD emerged as the sole independent predictor of FFR-CT≤0.8,demonstrating high diagnostic efficiency.

BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone density and structure are destroyed and fractures are caused by increased bone fragility,leading to high clinical disability and mortality rates. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress in the role of bone immunity in physiological and pathological processes related to bone metabolism,providing ideas for the research and clinical application of bone immunity in bone diseases. METHODS:The first author searched PubMed and CNKI databases in November 2022 for relevant literature using the keywords of"osteoimmunology,immuno-skeletal interface,bone metabolism,skeletal metabolism,lymphocyte,immune factor"in English and Chinese,respectively.The time range of retrieval was mainly from January 2010 to November 2022,and a small number of classical long-term literatures were included.After reading the topic and abstract for preliminary screening and excluding repetitive studies,low-quality journals and unrelated literature,81 documents were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Osteoimmunology refers to that bone and immune cells share the same microenvironment and interact with each other to jointly perform the"bone immune system,"which includes all cells in the bone marrow.Immuno-skeletal interface has protective effects on bone under physiological conditions,but it may lead to bone destruction under pathological conditions.Osteoprotegerin is mainly derived from B cells and can inhibit osteoclast metabolism.However,when the body is in an inflammatory state,T cells and B cells work together to promote bone resorption.In addition,interleukin-1,interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α regulate the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand in vivo and affect bone metabolism.In most clinical diseases(such as rheumatoid arthritis,estrogen deficiency,HIV infection,and hyperparathyroidism),the immuno-skeletal interface interacts with the bone immune system,resulting in the regulation of bone metabolism.In terms of clinical prospect,the interaction between bone immunity and bone metabolism should be studied in order to propose new strategies for therapeutic intervention to reduce the risk of fracture.

Objective: To investigate the different pattern of neck lymph node metastasis, the choice of surgical methods and prognosis in early tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A total of 157 patients with early oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma were included in this study. Statistical analysis was performed to identify the pattern of lymph node metastasis, to determine the best surgical procedure and to analyze the prognosis. Results: The occurrence of cervical lymph node metastasis rate was 31%(48/157). Neck lymphatic metastasis was significantly related to tumor size (P=0.026) and histology differentiation type (P=0.022). The rate of metastasis was highest in level Ⅱ [33% (16/48)]. In level Ⅳ, the incidence of lymph node metastasis was 5%(7/157), and there was no skip metastases. The possibility of level Ⅳ metastasis was higher, when level Ⅱ (P=0.000) or Ⅲ (P=0.000) involved. The differentiation tumor recurrence, neck lymphatic metastasis and adjuvant radiotherapy were prognostic factors (P<0.05). Multivariate analyses revealed histology differentiation type, neck lymphatic metastases and adjuvant radiotherapy were the independent prognostic factors. Conclusions Neck lymphatic metastasis rate is high in early tongue squamous cell carcinoma, simultaneous glossectomy and neck dissection should be performed. Level Ⅳ metastasis rate is extremely low, so supraomohyoid neck dissection is sufficient for most of the time. The histology differentiation type, neck lymphatic metastasis and adjuvant radiotherapy are independent prognostic factors.

Objective To investigate the promoting effect of individualized intervention on social function rehabilitation in patients with schizophrenia. Methods Total of 200 hospitalized patients with schizophrenia in a tertiary psychiatrichospital were selected as the research object and were randomly assigned to the study group ( n=100) and the control group ( n=100) . Patients in control group were treated with routine treatment and nursing, whilepatients in study group were given individualized intervention combined with routine treatment and nursing. Brief psychiatric rating scale ( BPRS) was used to assess the severity of the psychotic symptoms.Insight and treatment attitude questionnaire ( ITAQ) was used to assess the treatment compliance of patients. Activity of daily living scale (ADL) and personal and social performance scale(PSP) were used to assess their social function. Then, we compared the results of two groups that before and after the intervention. Results Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in BPRS, ITAQ and ADL scores between two groups ( P>0.05) . The PSP scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group ( P<0.05) . After the intervention, the ITAQ and PSP scores of two groups were significantly higher than those before the intervention, and the BPRS and ADL scores were significantly lower than those before the intervention ( P<0.05) . After the intervention, there was no significant difference in BPRS and ITAQ scores between two groups ( P>0. 05) . The ADL scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group, and the PSP scores were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Personalized intervention enhances the patient′s self-care ability, daily activities ability and social competence, and promotes the recovery of social function.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT)for incisional hernia of ab-dominal wall before operations.Methods Thirty patients with incisional hernia in abdominal wall confirmed by the pathology were enrolled in this study.All patients underwent MSCT examination with sagittal and coronal MPRs,and 21 cases underwent ultra-sound (US)examinations.The value of transverse scan and MPRs & MSCT and US on demonstrating the number,location,con-tents of incisional hernia,and accompanying intestinal obstruction or other complications were retrospectively evaluated and com-paired.Results Of 30 cases,there were 40 hernias,the rate of MSCT and US in detecting incisional hernias were 97.5% and 56.0%, respectively.MSCT performed better than US on demonstrating the incisional hernias (P =0.000).On MSCT,there was no signif-icant difference in the detection for isolated incisional hernia between the MPRs and axial scans (P = 1.000 ).However,MPR showed a more accurate rate for two or multiple incisional hernias diagnosis (P =0.006),and the sagittal reconstruction displayed more correct than coronal reconstruction on two or multiple incisional hernias (P =0.01 9).Furthermore,MSCT can exactly reveal the complications of incisional hernias (7 cases of intestinal obstruction,5 cases of intestinal ischemia and edema,and 1 case of me-tastasis in incisional hernia),which were not detected by US.Conclusion MSCT can correctly demonstrate the incisional hernia of abdominal wall and its complication,it can provide important imaging reference for clinical therapy.
