Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(anti-VEGF)therapy has been widely used, but the variability in its therapeutic efficacy limits individualized treatment. In recent years, the application of artificial intelligence(AI)has opened up new avenues for personalized treatment response prediction, and its core branches include machine learning(ML)and deep learning(DL). This review systematically retrieved and analyzed 41 relevant studies published up to April 2025. Comprehensive analysis reveals that AI predictive models are evolving from forecasting single endpoints(such as visual acuity or central retinal thickness)to integrating multi-dimensional endpoints(encompassing anatomical, functional, and treatment demand parameters)and generating predictive imaging outputs. In terms of technical approaches, DL models(28 studies, accounting for 68.3%)dominate this field due to their robust image interpretation capabilities, while ML models(10 studies, 24.4%)retain significant value in the analysis of structured clinical data. Cross-disease comparisons indicate that research efforts are most concentrated on age-related macular degeneration(ARMD)and diabetic macular edema(DME), with shared conceptual frameworks for model construction, yet distinct anatomical and functional indicators are prioritized for each disease. Currently, the field confronts several key challenges, including insufficient prospective clinical validation, limited model interpretability(the “black box problem”), and a scarcity of high-quality multi-center datasets. Moving forward, it is imperative to advance real-world validation and develop explainable AI techniques to expedite the clinical translation of these predictive models.

The patient was hospitalized for treatment due to ovarian cancer 22 months post-surgery and recurrence for 3 months.During chemotherapy,carboplatin was administered intravenously following pretreatment with dexamethasone and diphenhydramine to mitigate potential adverse reactions.Thirteen minutes after the administration of carboplatin,the patient developed an acute allergic reaction manifesting as chest tightness and skin itching,followed by a significant increase in heart rate and blood pressure,a decrease in blood oxygen saturation,laryngeal edema,and respiratory distress.In response to this emergency,the administration of carboplatin was immediately halted,fluid was extracted from the PICC line,and epinephrine,dexamethasone,and diphenhydramine were given for treatment.Additional supportive measures included oxygen therapy and fluid resuscitation.Following these interventions,the patient's condition stabilized,with blood oxygen saturation,heart rate and blood pressure returning to normal levels.

Objective:To explore the expression changes of nerve growth factor (NGF)/tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) signaling pathway of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in incisional rat remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia and its effect on the expression of membrane delta opioid receptor (DOR).Methods:A total of 48 SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups based on body weight matching, with 8 in each group, which were control group (infusion of 0.9% NaCl solution via the tail vein), incision pain group (incision pain model established using the Brennan method), remifentanil group (infusion of remifentanil via the tail vein), incision pain+ remifentanil model group (incision pain model established using the Brennan method, followed by infusion of remifentanil via the tail vein), NGF group and TrkA inhibitor group(established incision pain+ remifentanil model after intrathecal injection of NGF (0.06 μg/g) or K252a (0.3 μg/g, TrkA inhibitor)). Mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) was used to assess pain sensitivity in rats. Western blot was employed to measure the expression of NGF, TrkA, and the total DOR(tDOR) and the membrane DOR(mDOR) in DRG tissues. Immunoelectron microscopy was used to detect subcellular DOR expression in DRG. Data were processed using SPSS 24.0 software. Multiple comparisons among groups were conducted by repeated measures ANOVA or one-way ANOVA, and post-hoc comparisons were performed using the Bonferroni test.Results:(1) The results of pain behavior showed that there was a significant interaction effect between time and group in the comparison of PWT among the six groups of rats before and after intervention ( F=345.817, P<0.001). At each time point after intervention, the PWTs of the incision pain+ remifentanil group were lower than those of the incision pain group and remifentanil group, the PWTs of the NGF group were lower than those of the incision pain+ remifentanil group, and the PWTs of the TrkA inhibitor group were higher than those of the incision pain+ remifentanil group and NGF group (all P<0.05). (2)The Western blot results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the relative levels of NGF, TrkA, and mDOR in the DRG tissues of the six groups of rats ( F=156.2, 163.8, 421.2, all P<0.001). The levels of NGF, TrkA, and mDOR proteins in the incision pain+ remifentanil group (1.45±0.07, 1.46±0.04, 3.01±0.20) were higher than those in the incision pain group (1.25±0.05, 1.24±0.04, 1.84±0.05) and remifentanil group (1.24±0.04, 1.26±0.03, 1.84±0.04) (all P<0.05). The levels of NGF, TrkA, and mDOR in the NGF group (1.57±0.03, 1.58±0.07, 3.74±0.25) were higher than those in the incision pain+ remifentanil group (all P<0.05). The relative expression levels of TrkA, and mDOR in the TrkA inhibitor group (1.25±0.04, 1.68±0.07) were lower than those in the incision pain+ remifentanil group and the NGF group (all P<0.05). (3)The results of immunoelectron microscopy showed that there were statistically significant differences in the localization of DOR in the cell membrane, subcellular sites of synthesis pathways, and subcellular localization of degradation pathways among the six groups of rat DRG tissues ( F=140.3, 60.63, 60.28, all P<0.01). The DOR of the synthesis pathway of incision pain+ remifentanil group was higher than that of the incision pain group and remifentanil group, while the DOR of the synthesis pathway of NGF was higher than that of the incision pain+ remifentanil group.The DOR of the synthesis pathway of TrkA inhibitor group was lower than that of the incision pain+ remifentanil group and NGF group (both P<0.05). The DOR of the degradation pathway in the incision pain+ remifentanil group was lower than that in the incision pain group and remifentanil group, the DOR of the degradation pathway in the NGF group was lower than that in the incision pain+ remifentanil group, and the DOR of the degradation pathway in the TrkA inhibitor group was higher than that in the incision pain+ remifentanil group and NGF group (both P<0.05). Conclusion:The NGF/TrkA signaling pathway is involved in rat incisional pain-remifentanil hyperalgesia by upregulating the delta opioid receptor of the dorsal root ganglia.

Objective To test the longitudinal mediating mechanism of kinesophobia between family functioning and exercise adherence in elderly patients with postoperative adjacent vertebral re-fracture after osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture(OVCF).Methods Convenience sampling method was used to admit to the Department of Orthopaedics of a tertiary hospital in Xuzhou City with adjacent vertebral re-fracture after OVCF were conveniently selected as the survey subjects,and longitudinal investigation was conducted using the APGAR,Functional Exercise Adherence Scale,and TSK Scale.Unconditional potential growth model,structural equation and Bootstrap method were used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 232 valid questionnaires were collected.Longitudinal mediation modeling revealed that the intercept of family functioning significantly negatively predicted the intercept of kinesophobia(β=-0.456,P＜0.001)and the slope of family functioning significantly negatively predicted the slope of kinesophobia(β=-0.962,P＜0.001).The intercept for kinesophobia significantly negatively predicted the intercept for exercise adherence(β=-0.623,P＜0.001)and significantly negatively predicted the slope for exercise adherence(β=-0.354,P=0.013).Conclusion The initial level and rate of development of kinesophobia play a fully longitudinal mediating role in the development of family functioning on exercise adherence.Medical professionals should assess and manage patients'family functioning and kinesophobia in a timely manner,and rationally utilize their interrelationships to improve the level of exercise adherence as much as possible.

OBJECTIVE To study the prevention and control strategies for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter bau-mannii(CRAB)infection through inves-tigating an outbreak of CRAB infection in an intensive care unit(ICU),and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of such hospital-acquired infections.METHODS Epide-miological investigations were conducted on patients with CRAB infection in the ICU of a hospital from Jul.7 to Jul.29,2023,and microbial sampling,identification and drug sensitivity testing were conducted on suspected con-taminated environments and items.Targeted prevention and control measures were taken to control the outbreak.RESULTS Within a short period,8 patients in this hospital developed CRAB hospital-acquired infection,among whom,the drug resistance profiles of CRAB isolated from the specimens of 7 patients in bed A4,A14,B18,B19,B20,B21 and B22 were consistent.Through environmental hygiene monitoring,CRAB isolated from patient clothing,isolation gowns and medical staff uniforms matched the drug resistance profiles of the seven patient iso-lates.After taking targeted measures,no new CRAB infection cases occurred in Oct.,and CRAB was no longer i-solated from the environment and medical fabrics.CONCLUSIONS The suspected outbreak of CRAB infection may be related to the inadequate management and contamination of medical fabrics.Therefore,in addition to strictly implementing the routine prevention and control measures for multidrug-resistant bacteria,it is also crucial to strengthen the standardized management of medical fabrics for the prevention and control of hospital-acquired in-fections and outbreaks.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential of nanopore sequencing technology for rapid diagnosis of Talaro-myces marneffei(TM)infection.METHODS Nine patients with TM infection admitted to the Fourth People's Hospital of Nanning from May 13,2022 to Aug.3,2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Rapid diagnosis was con-ducted by nanopore sequencing technology,and a comprehensive analysis of their clinical characteristics and treat-ment processes was performed.RESULTS The 9 patients included in the study had infections in various sites such as the lungs,buttocks,blood and cervical lymph nodes.Comorbidities included AIDS,secondary pulmonary tuberculosis,non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease and adult-onset immune deficiency.Patients generally exhibited elevated C-reactive protein levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rates,along with increased neutrophil counts.Some patients had abnormal lymphocyte counts and CD4+/CD8+ratios.Microbiological tests showed positive cultures in 3 cases,positive smears in 2 cases and positive targeted detection in 6 cases.Nanopore sequencing detected various pathogens in the 9 patients.The treatment results indicated that 8 patients improved after medication,with 6 patients having medication regimens adjusted based on nanopore sequencing results.CONCLUSION Nanopore sequencing technology has shown potentials in the auxiliary diagnosis of TM infection,providing timely etiological diagnostic evidence for clinical practice.

Objective:To develop a treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The initial scale was constructed through a literature search, Delphi expert correspondence, and cognitive testing. This study conducted a preliminary survey of 379 patients with MM and a formal survey of 865 patients from the hematology departments of 155 hospitals nationwide from February 2024 to March 2024. The final scale was obtained after conducting item analysis and reliability and validity tests on the initial scale.Results:The constructed scale contains 36 items covering six domains: physiological, psychological, social, treatment side effects, general health, and others. In the preliminary survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.597 to 0.939, and the test-retest reliability was 0.747 ( P<0.001). Exploratory factor analysis extracted eight common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 60.058%. In the formal survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.484 to 0.930, and the test-retest reliability was 0.835 ( P<0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a comparative fit index of 0.750, a root-mean-square error of approximation of 0.090, and a root-mean-square residual of 0.067. Conclusion:The treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with MM designed in this study exhibited good reliability and validity, reflecting the impact of treatment on the quality of life of patients. This scale can provide a reference to clinicians for assessing the disease status of patients.

Cognitive dysfunction has emerged as a significant health challenge in aging societies, among which Alzheimer's disease(AD)and related dementia have become one of the leading causes of death among the elderly.These diseases are characterized by insidious onset and progressive deterioration, often reaching irreversible advanced stages at initial diagnosis, making early detection and prevention imperative.As the frontline of public health management, communities bear the responsibility for screening and managing major chronic diseases.However, community-based cognitive screening in China still remains in its nascent stages, lacking systematic management and prevention guidelines.This guideline, established under a multidisciplinary collaborative framework and adhering to evidence-based medicine principles, systematically reviews and analyzes the latest clinical evidence worldwide.Utilizing the GRADE(Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation)system to evaluate evidence quality and following the RIGHT(Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare)statement for standardized guideline development, it ultimately presents 17 recommendations through three rounds of Delphi expert consultations.The core recommendations of this guideline is mainly to use digital cognitive scales to conduct large-scale community cognitive screening for the active individuals aged 60 or above.Stratification and staging should be performed based on screening results, and digital cognitive files with quantified risk factor grading should be established, followed by the formulation of personalized artificial intelligence(AI)prevention and control programs.This guide is the first in China and internationally to propose a quantitative grading system for low, medium, and high-risk factors associated with AD and vascular dementia(VD). It aims to provide standardized principles and practical pathways to advance China's ambitious goals: achieving ≥80% public awareness of dementia prevention knowledge, ≥80% cognitive screening rate among the elderly, ≥80% intervention guidance rate for at-risk populations, and ≥50% medical consultation rate for suspected cognitive impairment cases.

Hyperemesis gravidarum(HG)refers to persistent and severe nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy.Severe HG may lead to maternal dehydration,electrolyte imbalances,malnutrition,and even hypotension and arrhythmias,potentially affecting fetal growth and development.Due to the unique physiological state of pregnancy,treatment options for HG are limited.Metoclopramide,has become a commonly used drug in treating HG due to its prove efficacy and safety.Previous studies have primarily focused on the extrapyramidal side effects of metoclopramide,but research on its psychiatric adverse effects,such as mania and somnolence,remains limited,particularly in pregnant patients.This paper reports a case of psychiatric abnormalities in an HG patient following metoclopramide administration.By analyzing the patient's condition,medication use,and adverse reactions,this study explores the potential mechanisms underlying metoclopramide-induced psychiatric abnormalities and provides clinical recommendations for preventing and managing such psychiatric adverse effects during pregnancy.These findings offer valuable guidance for healthcare professionals regarding the appropriate use of this medication.
