Objective To evaluate the application value of artificial intelligence (AI) in the quality control of mammographic images and explore its feasibility for improving image quality. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 500 mammographic images from 125 female patients. These images were acquired in December 2024 at the Department of Radiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Tongji University by two junior technologists with qualification certificate for junior radiologic technologists and ≤ 2 months of independent operation. The reference standard was the evaluation by a panel of senior experts comprising one associate chief radiologist and two intermediate radiologic technologists with over 10 years of experience in mammography. The evaluation was based on nine criteria within an AI quality control system. The correlation and consistency (Kappa test) of the assessment outcomes were compared among the junior technologist group, the AI quality control group, and the panel group. Additionally, the differences in the proportions of high-, medium-, and low-quality images rated by the three groups were analyzed. After one month of AI assistance, 200 images from 50 additional patients acquired by the same two junior technologists in January 2025 were collected. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were calculated for the assessment performance of the junior technologist group before and after AI assistance. Differences were compared using the DeLong test. Changes in the disqualification rates for the nine criteria were analyzed. Results In consistency analysis, the AI quality control group showed high consistency with the panel group across multiple key criteria, with Kappa values ranging from 0.41 to 1.00. In contrast, the consistency between the junior technologist group and the panel group was generally low, with Kappa values ranging from 0.13 to 0.49. In comparison of image quality classification, no significant differences were observed in image quality classification between the AI group and the panel group (P>0.05). However, the proportion of images rated as high quality by the junior technologist group was significantly higher, while the proportions rated as medium and low quality were significantly lower, compared to those rated by the panel group (P<0.05). After AI assistance, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the assessment performance of junior technologist group increased significantly from 0.56 (95%CI: 0.51-0.61) to 0.91 (95%CI: 0.87-0.94) (P<0.001). The disqualification rates for skin folds, incomplete inclusion of the pectoralis major muscle, and nipple not in profile decreased significantly. Conclusion AI demonstrates assessment capability comparable to the panel group in mammographic quality control. AI effectively enhances the quality of images acquired by junior technologists through real-time, objective feedback.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax and azacitidine combined with GHA (human granulocyte colony stimulating factor, homoharringtonine and low-dose cytarabine) priming regimen in treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. Twenty-three patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia) who received treatment with the combination of venetoclax and azacitidine with GHA priming regimen at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from October 2020 to July 2024 were selected, and the treatment efficacy, minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative rate in patients with comprehensive complete remission (cCR) (including complete remission, complete remission with partial hematologic recovery and complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery) and the adverse reactions were analyzed; patients were followed-up, and their overall survival (OS) was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier method.Results:The median age of the 23 patients was 60 years (range: 21-79 years), including 10 males and 13 females. The cCR rate for 1 course of treatment was 52.2% (12/23), with 4 cases of MRD negative among cCR patients; 5 cases received 2 courses of treatment, with 3 cases achieving cCR, of which 2 cases were MRD negative; 2 cases received 3 courses of treatment, with 1 case achieving complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery. Six patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The patients were followed up until July 31, 2024, and the median follow-up period was 5.3 months (range: 1.1-41.7 months). Ten cases survived, 12 cases died, 1 case was lost to follow-up, and the median OS time of 23 patients was 7.9 months. The 6-month OS rate was 60.2% (95% CI: 42.7%-84.8%), and the 12-month OS rate was 44.6% (95% CI: 26.8%-74.3%). Common adverse reactions during treatment included infection [69.6% (16/23)], nausea [56.5% (13/23)], febrile neutropenia [52.2% (12/23)], bleeding [52.2% (12/23)], vomiting [34.8% (8/23)], and pneumonia [34.8% (8/23)]. Conclusions:The combination of vinaclotide and azacitidine with GHA priming regimen has certain efficacy and good safety in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

Objective:To evaluate the value of preoperative triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio in predicting postoperative delirium (POD) following internal fixation for lower limb fracture in geriatric patients.Methods:In this retrospective case-control study, the medical records of patients, aged ≥ 65 yr, with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, who underwent internal fixation for lower limb fracture under general anesthesia or spinal-epidural anes-thesia at Hebei General Hospital from January 2023 to July 2024, with the postoperative length of hospital stay of at least 3 days, were collected. The baseline characteristics, preoperative length of hospital stay, parameters of the last preoperative laboratory tests, type of surgery, anesthesia method, duration of surgery and anesthesia, and intraoperative hypotension and fluid intake and output were collected, and the ratio of TG to HDL-C was calculated. Patients were stratified into POD group and non-POD group based on whether POD developed. The logistic regression was carried out to identify influencing factors for POD. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive accuracy of preoperative TG/HDL-C ratio in predicting POD.Results:A total of 234 patients were finally included, of whom 30 developed POD, with an incidence of 12.8%. The results of multivariate logistic regression indicated that the elevated preoperative TG/HDL-C ratio, increased WBC count and a history of cerebrovascular disease were independent risk factors for POD, and the increased albumin concentration was an independent protective factor for POD ( P<0.05). The area under the curve of preoperative TG/HDL-C ratio in predicting POD was 0.758, with a specificity of 0.809 and sensitivity of 0.633, and the optimal cut-off value was 3.285 ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Elevated preoperative TG/HDL-C ratio is an independent risk factor for POD and may have a certain predictive value for POD in geriatric patients undergoing internal fixation for lower limb fracture.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of haploidentical high-dose in vitro non-T-cell-depleted peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HDPSCT) in treating adult patients with Ph + acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL) . Method:This retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical efficacy of 25 adult patients with Ph + ALL who underwent haplo-HDPSCT from July 2011 to June 2022 at our hospital. Results:This study included 25 patients with a median age of 27 (16-61) years, consisting of 12 males and 13 females. CR1 and ≥CR2 before transplantation were found in 23 and 2 cases, positive and negative minimal residual lesions were observed in 8 and 17 cases, and myeloablative conditioning and reduced-intensity conditioning were reported in 21 and 4 cases, respectively. Hematopoietic function was restored in all 25 patients after stem cell infusion. Of the 25 patients who underwent transplantation, 16 developed acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). The cumulative incidence rates of Ⅱ-Ⅳ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD were (40.4±11.3) % and (4.8±4.6) %, respectively. Four patients experienced relapse after transplantation, the cumulative relapse rates at 1 and 2 years after transplantation were (4.0±3.9) % and (14.5±7.9) %, respectively. The 2-year overall survival rate after transplantation was (81.3±8.5) % and the disease-free survival rate was (77.1±9.1) %.Conclusion:This study reveals that the unique haplo-HDPSCT protocol achieves good clinical efficacy in Ph + ALL treatment.

To construct a recombinant fowl adenovirus 4(FAdV-4)expressing the Cap protein of goose astrovirus genotype 2(GoAstV-2),the expression cassette of Cap gene was inserted into the natural 1 966 bp deletion region of the FAdV-4 genome in the infectious clone p15A-cm-FAdV4-HNJZ.The resulted recombinant plasmid p15A-cm-FAdV4-HNJZ-Cap/GoAstV-2 was linearized with restriction enzyme and transfected into chicken hepatoma cell line(LMH)to rescue the recombinant FAdV-4 expressing the Cap protein of GoAstV-2,rF Ad V4-Cap/GoAstV-2.After 15 passages in LMH cells,the recombinant rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 was identified by PCR using primers flanking the insertion site of the Cap gene expression cassette and using viral genome DNA extracted from rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 infected LMH cells as template.LMH cells were in-fected with 15th passage rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 and indirect immunofluorescence was performed with a polyclonal antibody against Cap protein as the primary antibody.Western blot was carried out with lysates of rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 infected LMH cells.The in vitro replication dynamic of the 15th passage of the rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 was also investigated in LMH cells.The results demonstrated that the Cap gene of GoAstV-2 was presented in the genome of the recombinant vi-rus rF AdV4-Cap/Go Ast V-2,and could be expressed stably.The prepared recombinant virus in this study will lay a foundation for developing inactivated bivalent vaccine candidate against co-in-fection of FAdV-4 and GoAstV-2 in goose.
