Objective: To develop a dual-branch deep learning framework for accurate multi-label classification of fundus diseases, addressing the key limitations of insufficient complementary feature extraction and inadequate cross-modal feature fusion in existing automated diagnostic methods. Methods: The fundus multi-label classification dataset with 12 disease categories (FMLC-12) dataset was constructed by integrating complementary samples from Ocular Disease Intelligent Recognition (ODIR) and Retinal Fundus Multi-Disease Image Dataset (RFMiD), yielding 6 936 fundus images across 12 retinal pathology categories, and the framework was validated on both FMLC-12 and ODIR. Inspired by the holistic multi-regional assessment principle of the Five Wheels theory in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ophthalmology, the dual-branch multi-label network (DBMNet) was developed as a novel framework integrating complementary visual feature extraction with pathological correlation modeling. The architecture employed a TransNeXt backbone within a dual-branch design: one branch processed red-green-blue (RGB) images to capture color-dependent features, such as vascular patterns and lesion morphology, while the other processed grayscale-converted images to enhance subtle textural details and contrast variations. A feature interaction module (FIM) effectively integrated the multi-scale features from both branches. Comprehensive ablation studies were conducted to evaluate the contributions of the dual-branch architecture and the FIM. The performance of DBMNet was compared against four state-of-the-art methods, including EfficientNet Ensemble, transfer learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN), BFENet, and EyeDeep-Net, using mean average precision (mAP), F1-score, and Cohen's kappa coefficient. Results: The dual-branch architecture improved mAP by 15.44 percentage points over the single-branch TransNeXt baseline, increasing from 34.41% to 44.24%, and the addition of FIM further boosted mAP to 49.85%. On FMLC-12, DBMNet achieved an mAP of 49.85%, a Cohen’s kappa coefficient of 62.14%, and an F1-score of 70.21%. Compared with BFENet (mAP: 45.42%, kappa: 46.64%, F1-score: 71.34%), DBMNet outperformed it by 4.43 percentage points in mAP and 15.50 percentage points in kappa, while BFENet achieved a marginally higher F1-score. On ODIR, DBMNet achieved an F1-score of 85.50%, comparable to state-of-the-art methods. Conclusion DBMNet effectively integrates RGB and grayscale visual modalities through a dual-branch architecture, significantly improving multi-label fundus disease classification. The framework not only addresses the issue of insufficient feature fusion in existing methods but also demonstrates outstanding performance in balancing detection across both common and rare diseases, providing a promising and clinically applicable pathway for standardized, intelligent fundus disease classification.

Objective To evaluate the cost–utility of lecanemab and donanemab in the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease （AD） in China. Methods A Markov model was developed from a societal perspective to compare standard of care （SOC）, lecanemab plus SOC, and donanemab plus SOC in terms of costs, quality-adjusted life years （QALY）, and incremental cost–utility ratios （ICUR）. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess parameter uncertainty. Results Both intervention strategies increased QALY compared with SOC but were associated with substantially higher costs, and neither was cost-effective under the current willingness-to-pay threshold. Conclusion Lecanemab and donanemab may be more appropriately considered within a multi-tiered healthcare reimbursement framework in China rather than relying solely on basic medical insurance.

[Objective] To investigate the infection status and characteristics of HEV among voluntary blood donors in Ningbo, and to provide a basis for improving the blood screening strategy. [Methods] A total of 12 227 blood samples from voluntary blood donors in Ningbo from June 2022 to May 2023 were tested for HEV serology, enzymology, and nucleic acid testing. Furthermore, HEV gene sequencing was performed for genotyping analysis, and donors with reactive nucleic acid testing results were followed up to confirm their infection status. [Results] The reactivity rate of HEV Ag, anti-HEV IgM and anti-HEV IgG was 0.098%, 0.899% and 29.198%, respectively. There was no difference in the reactivity of anti-HEV IgM and anti-HEV IgG between genders, donation frequencies and donation types (P>0.05). The reactivity rate increased significantly with age (P<0.05). The rate of ALT disqualification (ALT>50U/L) was significantly higher than that in non-reactive samples (P<0.05). The HEV Ag reactivity rate (0.098%) was not correlated with gender, donation frequency, donation type or age. One HEV RNA positive case was found, with a positive rate of 0.008%(1/12 227). It was confirmed to be hepatitis E virus genotype 3 by sequencing analysis. Apart from HEV Ag reactivity, all other blood safety screening items were non-reactive, suggesting this case might be in the acute infection phase. The follow-up results showed that all indicators of the donor's previous blood donation were non-reactive. [Conclusion] Pre-donation ALT detection can reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted HEV (TT-HEV) to a certain extent, and the effective way to prevent TT-HEV is to detect HEV RNA and serology of donor blood.

Osteoporosis(OP) is a senile bone disease characterized by an imbalance between bone remodeling and bone formation. Targeting pathogenesis of kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, and blood stasis, Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction has a significant effect on the treatment of OP by tonifying kidney, invigorating spleen, and activating blood circulation. MicroRNA(miRNA) and the anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma-2-like protein 1(BCL2L1) are closely related to bone cell metabolism. Therefore, in this study, the binding of miR-140-5p to BCL2L1 was detected by dual luciferase assay and polymerase chain reaction(PCR). After silencing or overexpressing miR-140-5p, the apoptosis, autophagy, and osteogenic function of human fetal osteoblast cell line 1.19(HFOB1.19) were observed by flow cytometry and Western blot. Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction-containing serum was prepared by intragastric administration of Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction in rats. Different concentrations of Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction-containing serum were used to treat HFOB1.19 with or without miR-140-5p mimic. The expression of osteogenic proteins in each group was observed, and the role of miR-140-5p/BCL2L1 in apoptosis and autophagy of HFOB1.19 was studied, along with the effect of Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction on these processes. As indicated by the dual luciferase assay, miR-140-5p bound to BCL2L1. Flow cytometry and Western blot showed that miR-140-5p promoted apoptosis and inhibited autophagy in HFOB1.19. After intervention with high, medium, and low doses of Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction-medicated serum, compared with the miR-140-5p NC group, the expression of osteocalcin(OCN), osteopontin(OPN), Runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2), and transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1) decreased in the miR-140-5p mimic group, while the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2) showed no significant difference under high-dose intervention. Therefore, miR-140-5p/BCL2L1 can promote apoptosis and inhibit autophagy in HFOB1.19. Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction can affect the osteogenic effect of miR-140-5p through BMP2.

Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with central nervous system(CNS)infection in patients after neuroendoscopic hematoma removal combined with and microscopic hematoma removal,and to construct and validate a nomogram prediction model.Methods A total of 460 patients who underwent neuroendoscopic hematoma removal combined with microscopic hematoma removal at our hospital between January 2021 and December 2024 were retrospectively enrolled.The patients were assigned to a modeling cohort(n=322)and a validation cohort(n=138)in a 7∶3 ratio.Furthermore,the modeling cohort was divided into an infection group(n=68)and a non-infected group(n=254)according to whether CNS infection occurred.The independent predictors of central nervous system infection were identified by logistic regression analysis,and a nomogram prediction model was constructed accordingly.Results The overall incidence of CNS infection in the 460 patients was 20.65%(95/460).According to the logistic regression analysis,the independent risk factors for CNS infection in patients after neuroendoscopic and microscopic combined hematoma removal included a history of diabetes mellitus(odds ratio[OR]=3.431,95%CI:1.300-9.057),the Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score(OR=0.574,95%CI:0.462-0.711),cerebrospinal fluid leakage(OR=4.492,95%CI:1.430-14.116),operation duration(OR=1.011,95%CI:1.004-1.019),duration of drainage tube placement(OR=5.452,95%CI:2.423-12.268)and albumin(ALB)level(OR=0.778,95%CI:0.720-0.840)(P<0.05).Based on these risk factors,a nomogram prediction model was constructed,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)of the predicted events in the modeling cohort and the validation cohort was 0.928(95%CI:0.895-0.960)and 0.918(95%CI:0.885-0.951),respectively.The calibration curve fitted well with the ideal curve(Hosmer-Lemeshow test,P>0.05),and the decision curve analysis demonstrated significant net benefit.Conclusion The nomogram model based on history of diabetes mellitus,GCS score,cerebrospinal fluid leakage,operation duration,duration of drainage tube placement,and ALB level demonstrates high predictive performance for CNS infection after neuroendoscopy-assisted microscopic hematoma removal.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Roxadustat and recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on novel inflammatory immune indices in anemic patients with non-dialysis type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was performed in this study. Patients with non-dialysis type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with CKD admitted to Shanghai First People's Hospital from December 2015 to December 2023 were selected. Among those patients, 252 cases were treated with rHuEPO (rHuEPO group) and 103 cases were treated with Roxadustat (Roxadustat group). Both group had a course of treatment over three months. The baseline data and novel inflammatory immunity indices, systemic immuno-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were compared between the two groups of patients before and after 3 months of treatment.Results:The differences in gender, age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, history of hypertension, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and use of hypoglycemic, antihypertensive, and lipid-lowering medications were not statistically significant when compared between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). Before treatment, the differences in NLR, PLR, SII, and LMR between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05); after 3 months of treatment, NLR, PLR, SII, and LMR were lower in both groups than before treatment [rHuEPO group: (2.3±0.8)% vs. (2.8±0.8)%, (83±33)% vs. (160±49)%, (2.3±0.8)% vs. (3.1±0.7)%, (476±227)% vs. (594±243)%, with t values of 9.25, 23. 20, 26.67, and 9.62, respectively, all P<0.001; Roxadustat group: (1.7±0.6)% versus (2.9±1.0)%, (72±30)% versus (162±47)%, (2.0±0.8)% versus (3.1±0.9)%, (408±151)% versus (605±267)%, with t values of 8. 38, 14.27, 8.62, and 5.97, respectively, all P<0.001], and NLR, PLR, and SII were lower in the Roxadustat group than in the rHuEPO group ( t=5.00, P<0.001, t=2.44, P=0.015, t=2.09, P=0.040). Conclusion:In patients with anemia in non-dialysis type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with CKD,Roxadustat had similar ability of reducing the level of novel inflammatory markers compared to rHuEPO.

Objective To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation on patients with stroke-related sleep disorders.Methods From November,2023 to November,2024,a total of 68 stroke patients with stroke-related sleep disorders ad-mitted to Huashan Hospital,Fudan University were selected.They were randomly divided into control group(n=34)and experimental group(n=34).The control group received routine hyperbaric oxygen therapy,while the ex-perimental group received routine hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation inside the chamber,for four weeks.Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),sleep-monitoring wrist-bands,Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS)were used to assess the outcomes before and after treatment..Results Four patients in the control group and one in the experimental group dropped out.After treatment,the scores of each factors of PSQI decreased in both groups(t>2.693,P<0.05),and were lower in the experimental group than in the control group(t>2.699,P<0.01),expect hypnotic drug use(P>0.05);the total sleep time,deep sleep time and rapid eye movement sleep time became longer in both groups(|t|>7.270,P<0.001),and they were longer in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>5.712,P<0.001);the scores of SAS and SDS decreased in both groups(t>9.530,P<0.001),and they were less in the experimental group than in the control group(t>4.740,P<0.001).Conclusion Synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation in hyperbaric oxygen chamber could effectively prolong the total sleep time,deep sleep time and rapid eye movement time of patients with stroke-related sleep disorders,re-lieve anxiety and depression after stroke,and improve sleep quality.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common sports-related knee injury. Its early clinical symptoms include knee swelling, pain with restricted movement, and may progress to knee instability and even secondary osteoarthritis in later stages, significantly affecting the patients′ athletic performance and quality of life. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is currently regarded as the gold standard treatment for ACL injuries. However, due to the factors including surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols, the probability of patients returning to their pre-injury sports level postoperatively remains suboptimal. Therefore, developing individualized preoperative and postoperative rehabilitation protocds are particularly crucial. Traditionally, rehabilitation was implemented postoperatively, overlooking the significance of preoperative rehabilitation. Preoperative rehabilitation primarily involves comprehensive management and functional training, which can enhance patient satisfaction, reduce postoperative complications, and shorten the return-to-sport duration. Standardized preoperative rehabilitation is essential for enabling patients to return to sports promptly after surgery, however, there remain controversies regarding the optimal timing, training intensity, and duration of preoperative rehabilitation. To this end, the authors reviewed the application of preoperative rehabilitation in ACL reconstruction, aiming to provide references for establishing standardized preoperative rehabilitation protocols in clinical practice.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To investigate the effects of γ-glutamyl hydrolase(GGH)rs11545078 C＞T polymorphisms on serum concentrations,chemotherapy toxicities of methotrexate(MTX),and prognosis in children with intracranial tumors.Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from children with intracranial tumors to extract genome DNA.Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry was used to detect the genotypes of GGH rs11545078 C＞T polymorphisms.Fluorescence polarization immunoassay was employed to determine the serum concentrations of MTX.The incidences of toxicities,relapse,and metastasis were recorded after chemotherapy with MTX.The associations of GGH rs11545078 C＞T polymorphisms with concentration-to-dose ratios(C/D ratios),chemotherapy toxicities of MTX,relapse,and metastasis of tumors were analyzed.Results A total of 75 children were included in the present study.The frequencies of rs11545078 CC and CT genotypes were 82.67％and 17.33％,respectively.The frequencies of C and T alleles were 91.33％and 8.67％,respectively.There were no statistically significant differences for these frequencies among the children with intracranial tumors,the children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia,and the health population in Beijing.Children with the CC genotype had higher median C/D ratios of MTX in 24 and 42 h(25.19 and 0.14 μmol·L-1 per g·m-2,respectively),higher metastasis rates(46.77％),and lower relapse rates(17.74％)than those in CT genotype carriers(22.01 and 0.11 μmol·L-1 per g·m-2,38.46％,and 30.77％,respectively),and the differences were no statistically significant(all P＞0.05).The incidences of gastrointestinal disorders(76.92％)in children with the CT genotype were significantly higher than those in CC genotype carriers(45.16％,P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the incidences of other adverse events between patients with the CC genotype and patients with the CT genotype(all P＞0.05).Conclusion GGH rs11545078 CT might be a risk factor for gastrointestinal disorders in children with intracranial tumors treated with MTX.
