Liver cancer imposes a substantial global disease burden.Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),as the primary pathological type of primary liver cancer,accounts for approximately 90%of all cases.As a minimally invasive treatment,thermal ablation causes minimal impact on liver function and trauma,serving as the first-line treatment option for early-stage HCC patients unsuit-able for surgical resection.However,clinical data indicate that 5-year recurrence rate of HCC pa-tients after thermal ablation treatment is as high as 50%~70%,and incomplete ablation remains a core factor leading to recurrence.Therefore,exploring and optimizing complete ablation strategies has become a critical direction for improving the efficacy of thermal ablation in HCC and enhanc-ing long-term survival rates of patients.This paper systematically reviews the current applications of thermal ablation in HCC treatment and focuses on discussing key technologies and strategies for achieving complete ablation,with the aim of providing theoretical foundations and technical refer-ences for improving the complete ablation rate of thermal ablation in clinical practice and formu-lating personalized diagnosis and treatment plans.

Objective To investigate the predicting value of cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking(CMR-FT)for adverse left ventricular remodeling(ALVR)in patients with acute anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods The clinical data and cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)images of 161 acute anterior wall STEMI patients within 1 week and 6 months after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)were retrospectively analyzed.ALVR was defined as an increase of left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV)over 20%at the second CMR examination compared to the baseline.The CMR parame-ters were analyzed by CVI42 post-processing software.The logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent predictors of ALVR,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficiency of ALVR.Results The incidence of ALVR at 6 months was 21.7%(35/161).The logistic regression analysis showed that the left ventricular global circumferential strain(LVGCS)and right ventricular global longitudinal strain(RVGLS)at baseline were independent predictors for ALVR(P<0.001).When LVGCS was-13.89%and RVGLS was-15.07%at baseline,the sensitivity of predicting ALVR was 0.714 and 0.743,the specificity was 0.833 and 0.810,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.806 and 0.835,respectively.The sensitivity of LVGCS combined with RVGLS in predicting ALVR was 0.802,the specificity was 0.952,and the AUC was 0.888.The DeLong test showed that the AUC of LVGCS com-bined with RVGLS in predicting ALVR was significantly higher than that of individuals,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The LVGCS and RVGLS at baseline are independent predictors for ALVR in patients with acute anterior wall STEMI,their combination can significantly improve the pre-dictive efficiency of ALVR in these patients.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for frailty management in patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer, so as to provide reference for alleviating patient frailty.Methods:Guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summaries, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials and other articles on the frailty management of patients with postoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer were electronically searched in computerized decision-making systems such as UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, and Guidelines International Network, in comprehensive databases such as PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, and in the websites of professional societies. The search period was from database establishment to September 15, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature and evaluated the quality of the included literature, combining professional judgment to extract and summarize the best evidence.Results:A total of 18 papers were included, including two clinical decisions, one evidence summary, eight guidelines, two expert consensus, one systematic review, one randomized controlled trial, two quasi-experimental studies, and one observational study. The best evidence included a total of 34 pieces in seven aspects of comprehensive screening, nursing plan construction, preoperative prehabilitation, nutritional interventions, Chinese medicine interventions, exercise interventions, and psychological interventions for frailty.Conclusions:The summary of the best evidence for frailty management in patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer may provide an evidence-based basis for frailty interventions by clinical medical and staff.

Objective:To investigate the impact of family cohesion and family conflict on the sleep duration of preschool children.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 2 990 preschool children from kindergartens in Dongcheng District, Beijing from April to June 2019. Family cohesion and conflict were assessed using the family life questionnaire (FLQ), while children's sleep duration and other variables were collected through a custom survey questionnaire. Independent sample t-test and Chi square test were performed using R statistical software package and EmpowerStats software, and multivariate Logistic regression models to explore the relationships between family cohesion, family conflict, and children's sleep duration. Results:A total of 612 children (20.47%) were identified with insufficient sleep duration. The group with insufficient sleep duration had lower family cohesion scores( (12.57±2.01) vs (12.84±2.01), t=2.928, P=0.002), and family conflict scores ((12.15±2.43) vs (12.52±2.24), t=3.643, P<0.001) than the group with sufficient sleep duration. The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that high levels of family cohesion ( β=-0.234, OR=0.791, 95% CI=0.645-0.969, P=0.024) and low levels of family conflict ( β=-0.399, OR=0.671, 95% CI=0.553-0.813, P<0.001) were protective factors for sleep duration in preschool children. Conclusion:Family cohesion and family conflict significantly affect the sleep duration of preschool children, providing directions for interventions to improve insufficient sleep among children.

Objective:To evaluate the mood and psychological state of pregnant women with different working states and analyze the influence of working on depression state during the entire pregnancy.Methods:A total of 396 women aged 20-45 years were prospectively enrolled in Capital Medical University Affiliated Beijing Tian Tan Hospital in early pregnancy from December 2020 to April 2020. The ones who had a history of depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and other mental disorders were excluded. Their psychological states were assessed by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) at baseline, the second and third trimester of pregnancy accordingly. Based on employment status during pregnancy, they were analyzed into Full-time (252 cases), Part-time (97 cases), and Unemployed (47 cases) groups. A 3 (Group) ×3 (Pregnancy trimester) repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the differences in EPDS scores among the three groups. Multivariate Linear Regression was used to analyze the effects of employment status and other factors on EPDS scores during pregnancy.Results:Compared to the Full-time and Part-time employment groups, the Unemployed group had lower education levels and higher FSS scores [ones who own a bachelor′s degree or below: 85.2% (40/47) vs 64.3% (162/252); FSS score: (37.5±9.3) vs (33.1±11.2)] (all P<0.05). Repeated measures ANOVA showed the main effect of group and time on EPDS depression scores was statistically significant ( F=3.19, P=0.043; F=6.20, P=0.002). EPDS scores in early pregnancy were significantly higher than those in late pregnancy [(0.6±0.01) vs (0.5±0.01), P=0.003]. There was no significant difference in EPDS scores among different groups ( PBonferroni correction >0.017). There were no statistically significant interaction effects between the three groups and three trimesters of pregnancy ( F=1.34, P=0.253). Regression analysis results showed that Full-time or Part-time employment, higher marital satisfaction, better psychological resilience contributed fewer depression scores in the second trimester of pregnancy ( R 2adjusted=0.34, F=22.37, P<0.001). Conclusion:Both Full-time and Part-time employment during pregnancy have a positive impact on depressive mood in the second trimester of pregnancy but probably no impact in the early and late pregnancy.
