Objective To explore the application value of MR MAGiC sequence reconstructed based on deep learning reconstruction(DLR)for localizing epileptogenic focus of intractable epilepsy.Methods Fifty intractable epilepsy patients(epilepsy group)and 20 healthy controls(control group)were retrospectively collected.Brain MR MAGiC sequence was scanned,then traditional reconstruction(inverse Fourier transform)and DLR algorithm were performed to obtain MAGiC and MAGiC DLR images,respectively.The corresponding quantitative parameter maps were generated after post-processing,including T1 mapping,T2 mapping and proton density(PD)mapping.The subjective scores of noise,artifacts,structural clarity and overall quality were compared between two kinds of quantitative parameter images.The asymmetry index(AI)of quantitative parameters(T1,T2 and PD values)between the affected side and the contralateral side in epilepsy group,the contralateral side or the suspected epileptogenic focus in epilepsy group and HC group were calculated.Then epileptogenic focus were localized based on performance of MAGiC and MAGiC DLR corresponding quantitative parameter maps combining obtained AI of quantitative parameter values.According to surgical results,follow-up review,electroencephalogram or PET results,the accuracy of MAGiC and MAGiC DLR images for localizing epileptogenic focus was calculated.Results Compared with MAGiC quantitative parametric maps,noise of MAGiC DLR quantitative parametric maps reduced,while subjective scores of structure clarity and overall quality improved(all P＜0.05).The accuracy of MAGiC and MAGiC DLR images for localizing epileptogenic focus was 82.00％(41/50)and 88.00％(44/50),respectively.Conclusion MR MAGiC sequence based on DLR was beneficial for improving accuracy of localizing epileptogenic focus in intractable epilepsy.

BACKGROUND:Studies have found that massage can reduce blood sugar,promote myogenic factor expression,and increase skeletal muscle content.The extracellular matrix is an important component of skeletal muscle,and association between massage and extracellular matrix and their mechanism of action are still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of massage on extracellular matrix collagen deposition in type 2 diabetic sarcopenia rats.METHODS:Totally 24 Wistar male rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,and massage group.High-fat diet combined with the streptozotocin method was used to establish a type 2 diabetes mellitus and sarcopenia model.After successful model establishment,the massage group used abdominal massage combined with hind limbs.After 8 weeks of treatment,the fasting blood glucose and serum insulin levels of the rats were measured.The skeletal muscle mass was detected by dual-energy X-ray.The exhaustion time was measured by small animal treadmill.The sliding angle was measured by inclined board test.The pathological changes of skeletal muscle tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The skeletal muscle collagen deposition was observed by Masson staining.The mRNA and protein expressions of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in skeletal muscle were detected by qPCR and western blot assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the model group,the blood glucose(P＜0.05)and serum insulin(P＜0.01)decreased in the massage group.(2)Compared with the model group,the skeletal muscle mass,running exhaustion time,and the angle of inclined plate experiment were increased in massage group(P＜0.05).(3)Compared with the model group,the skeletal muscles of the massage group were arranged neatly,muscle atrophy was improved,and collagen fiber deposition was reduced.(4)Compared with the model group,the expression levels of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen mRNA and protein in skeletal muscle were decreased in the massage group(P＜0.05).(5)The results suggest that massage can enhance insulin sensitivity,lower blood sugar,improve skeletal muscle mass,strength and function,and diminish collagen deposition in rats with type 2 diabetes,and may be a potential target for massage to exert its therapeutic effects.

Objective To explore the characteristics and influencing factors of drug-induced liver injury(DILI)associated with the postoperative use of propacetamol,and to provide guidance for rational clinical medication.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on hospitalized patients who underwent surgical treatment and were administered propacetamol from January 2022 to June 2024.Cases were screened based on established inclusion and exclusion criteria.Statistical analyses were performed on patients'demographic data,medication information,liver function indicators before and after medication,comorbid conditions,and concomitant medications to assess the incidence and influencing factors of propacetamol-related DILI.A multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify related risk factors.Results A total of 7,579 patients were sampled,of which 2,114 met the inclusion criteria.Among them,531 patients(25.1%)experienced DILI,primarily presenting with abnormal liver function indicators.This included elevated alanine aminotransferase in 379 cases(71.4%),elevated aspartate aminotransferase in 197 cases(37.1%),elevated alkaline phosphatase in 209 cases(39.4%),and elevated total bilirubin in 92 cases(17.3%).Univariate analysis revealed that there were significant differences in gender,height,age,weight,body mass index(BMI),duration of propacetamol use,total medication dosage,concomitant use of hepatic-metabolized antibiotics,and history of liver disease between the DILI group and non-DILI group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patient gender,BMI,total propacetamol dosage,liver-related diseases,and concomitant use of hepatic-metabolized antibiotics as independent risk factors for DILI(P<0.05).Conclusion The use of propacetamol for postoperative analgesia presents a risk for liver injury,and the risk is particularly pronounced in males,obesity,high-dose dosing,patients with underlying hepatic disease,and comorbid hepatic metabolism of antimicrobial drug use.It is recommended to strengthen the monitoring of liver function in clinical application,strictly control the dosage and duration of treatment,and avoid co-administration with hepatotoxic drugs to ensure the safety of drug use.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term protective efficacy of the recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cell-derived hepatitis B vaccine（CHO-HepB）26 years post-vaccination in the rural China.Methods:Zhengding county，Hebei province was designated as a rural monitoring site for CHO-HepB efficacy. Study participants included individuals born between 1997 and 1999 who had completed the three-dose CHO-HepB primary series without booster doses. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in late 2024 using random sampling. Demographic and vaccination history data were collected via questionnaires，and hepatitis B virus（HBV）serological markers were detected using chemiluminescence. Historical surveillance data were integrated to infer infection statuses of HBsAg-positive individuals and evaluate longitudinal trends in anti-HBs seropositivity and antibody titers.Results:Among 178 participants（mean time since vaccination：26.2 years），the seroprevalence rates were 0.6% for HBsAg（95% CI：0.0%-1.6%），64.6% for anti-HBs（95% CI：57.6%-71.6%），and 1.1% for anti-HBc（95% CI：0.0%-2.7%）. Compared to the pre-vaccination baseline HBsAg positivity of 11.3% in children under 10 years of age，the estimated vaccine protection rate was 95%. Two notable cases were identified：one with concurrent HBsAg and anti-HBc positivity and one with anti-HBs and anti-HBc positivity，suggestive of transient HBV exposure（1999—2009）without chronicity. Natural immune boosting was inferred for the latter case based on anti-HBs titer dynamics. Longitudinal analysis of four prior cross-sectional surveys（2005，2009，2013，and 2017）revealed no significant upward trends in HBsAg and anti-HBc positivity（both P>0.05）over 26 years，while anti-HBs seropositivity declined significantly（ P<0.05）from 6 to 26 years post-vaccination. Conclusion:The CHO-HepB vaccine demonstrates sustained immunological persistence and robust long-term protection up to 26 years post-immunization. Continued emphasis on rigorous implementation of mother-to-child transmission prevention strategies is critical for future hepatitis B control.

This article reports the diagnosis and treatment of a case of acromegaly in a pregnant patient who took bromocriptine during pregnancy and delivered successfully. A retrospective summary of the clinical data and treatment outcomes before and after two pregnancies of the patient is provided. The patient took bromocriptine during the second pregnancy, and her condition remained stable. A baby girl was delivered by caesarean section at full term. The article suggests that pregnancy in acromegaly patients, after the stabilization of the condition, can lead to favorable outcomes. The use of dopamine receptor agonists during pregnancy does not increase adverse events during the perinatal period.

Objective:To explore influencing factors of the self-reported brief life quality satisfaction score(Brief-QoL) in patients with acromegaly and understand the persistent low Brief-QoL scores in cases achieving biochemical remission.Methods:This study included 836 acromegaly patients who were hospitalized at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2012 and December 2020. We retrospectively examined how clinical characteristics, biochemical parameters, comorbidities, and symptoms influenced Brief-QoL. Among patients who achieved biochemical remission, differences in clinical symptoms and comorbidities were analyzed between the high and low quality of life groups.Results:Patients with well-controlled biochemical indicators at the last follow-up had generally high Brief-QoL. However, patients with symptoms such as headaches (47.8% in the low-score group vs 14.9% in the high-score group, P<0.001) and joint pain (69.6% in the low-score group vs 19.0% in the high-score group, P<0.001) had low Brief-QoL despite biochemical remission. Receiving combined treatment(52.4% in the low-score group vs 27.5% in the high-score group, P=0.030) and having comorbid diabetes or hyperlipidemia were significant factors leading to decreased quality of life. Conclusion:Brief-QoL is suitable for follow-up of outpatient patients. Early identification of factors affecting quality of life and timely intervention can facilitate the realization of standardized management.
