Objective:To explore the neuropathological characteristics of brain tissues from autopsy of patients with schizophrenia.Methods:Forty-two autopsy cases from National Human Brain Bank for Health and Disease, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2013 to December 2024 were selected as research subjects, among which, 21 were schizophrenia patients(schizophrenia group) and 21 were non-schizophrenia patients (non-schizophrenia group). Clinical data of patients from the two groups were compared. HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes such as infarction, hemorrhage and arteriosclerosis in the brain tissues, silver-nitrate staining was used to detect the amyloid plaques in the brain tissues, Congo red staining was used to detect the pathological changes related to cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in the brain tissues, modified Gallyas silver staining was used to detect the neurofibrillary tangles in the brain tissues, and immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expressions of phosphorylated tau protein, β-amyloid protein (Aβ), TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43), and α-synuclein in the brain tissues. Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change (ADNC), primary age-related tauopathy (PART), limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE), aging-related tau astrogliopathy (ARTAG), Lewy body disease (LBD), and cerebrovascular disease (CVD)-related pathological changes in the brain tissues were evaluated, and differences in positive rates of the above pathological changes were compared.Results:No significant difference in gender, age of death, brain weight, or apolipoprotein E genotype was noted between the schizophrenia group and non-schizophrenia group ( P>0.05). Six schizophrenia patients exhibited low-to-intermediate ADNC, including 4 with low ADNC and 2 with intermediate ADNC. Compared with the non-schizophrenia group, the positive rates of ADNC- and CVD-related pathological changes in the schizophrenia group were significantly higher (0 vs. 28.6%; 9.5% vs. 47.6%, P<0.05). No significant differences in positive rates of PART-, LATE-, ARTAG-, and LBD-related pathological changes were noted between the schizophrenia group and non-schizophrenia group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Schizophrenia patients show high proportions of ADNC- and CVD-related pathological changes, but relatively low ADNC severity.

Objective:To evaluate the value of a combined model based on primary lesion 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18F-FDG) PET/CT radiomics for predicting lymph node metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 203 NSCLC patients who underwent pre-treatment PET/CT imaging at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from June 2013 to July 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to the training set ( n=142) and the validation set ( n=61) at a ratio of 7∶3. A predictive model was developed in the training set, and its predictive performance and clinical application value were assessed in both the training and validation sets. Traditional PET/CT parameters and PET/CT radiomics features of the primary lesion were obtained by 3D-slicer software. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), random forest, and extreme gradient boosting were performed to extract features. Support vector machine was used to construct a radiomics score (Radscore). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to predict the influencing factors of lymph node metastasis in NSCLC patients and to establish models. Predictive performance of the models was evaluated by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves and clinical application value was assessed by calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) . Results:Among 203 NSCLC patients, 116 had lymph node metastasis, with 64 cases in the training set and 52 cases in the validation set. Three complementary classical machine learning methods were used for feature screening, and finally 10 radiomics features were obtained. The optimal threshold for Radscore-PET was 0.43 and the optimal threshold for Radscore-CT was 0.39. Univariate analysis showed that, sex ( OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.24-0.95, P=0.036), tumor marker levels ( OR=3.81, 95% CI: 1.84-7.91, P<0.001), long diameter of tumor ( OR=2.56, 95% CI: 1.27-5.16, P=0.009), short diameter of tumor ( OR=3.73, 95% CI: 1.75-7.92, P=0.001), vacuolar sign ( OR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.12-0.86, P=0.024), ring-like metabolism ( OR=3.67, 95% CI: 1.33-10.13, P=0.012), maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) ( OR=6.57, 95% CI: 3.03-14.25, P<0.001), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) ( OR=2.91, 95% CI: 1.43-5.92, P=0.003), total lesion glycolysis (TLG) ( OR=4.23, 95% CI: 2.08-8.59, P<0.001), Radscore-PET ( OR=21.93, 95% CI: 9.04-53.20, P<0.001) and Radscore-CT ( OR=13.72, 95% CI: 6.12-30.76, P<0.001) were all influencing factors for predicting lymph node metastasis in NSCLC patients. Multivariate analysis showed that, tumor marker levels ( OR=2.55, 95% CI: 1.11-5.90, P=0.028), vacuolar sign ( OR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.08-0.83, P=0.023), SUV max ( OR=5.94, 95% CI: 1.99-17.75, P=0.001), Radscore-PET ( OR=25.51, 95% CI: 5.92-110.22, P<0.001), and Radscore-CT ( OR=8.68, 95% CI: 2.73-27.61, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for predicting lymph node metastasis in patients with NSCLC. Based on the above independent influencing factors, models were constructed: the traditional model (tumor marker levels, vacuolar sign, SUV max), the PET model (SUV max, Radscore-PET), the CT model (vacuolar sign, Radscore-CT), and the combined model (tumor marker levels, vacuolar sign, SUV max, Radscore-PET, Radscore-CT). ROC curve analysis showed that, the area under curve (AUC) of the traditional, PET, CT, and combined models in the training set were 0.75 (95% CI: 0.67-0.82), 0.90 (95% CI: 0.84-0.95), 0.85 (95% CI: 0.78-0.90), and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.88-0.97), respectively. The predictive value of the combined model was higher than that of the traditional model ( Z=5.01, P<0.001), the PET model ( Z=1.99, P=0.047), and the CT model ( Z=3.25, P=0.001). In the validation set, the AUCs for the traditional model, PET model, CT model, and combined model were 0.65 (95% CI: 0.52-0.77), 0.86 (95% CI: 0.74-0.93), 0.85 (95% CI: 0.73-0.93), and 0.90 (95% CI: 0.80-0.96), respectively. The predictive value of the combined model was superior to that of the traditional model ( Z=3.23, P=0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of the combined model in the training set were 84.37% and 91.03%, while in the validation set, the sensitivity and specificity were 82.61% and 94.74%, respectively. Calibration curves showed a good agreement between the predicted and actual probabilities in both the training and validation sets. DCA showed that the combined models had good discriminative ability in both the training and validation sets. Conclusions:Tumor marker levels, vacuolar sign, SUV max, Radscore-PET, and Radscore-CT are all independent influencing factors for predicting lymph node metastasis in patients with NSCLC. The combined model based on these factors demonstrates excellent predictive performance and clinical application value for predicting lymph node metastasis in NSCLC.

ObjectiveTo analyze the development status and quality of clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of dominant diseases with Chinese patent medicines (CPMs). MethodsDatabases were searched from Jan. 2019 to Dec.2023 to collect the published clinical practice guidelines of CPMs for the treatment of dominant diseases. The information about the title, the participants, clinical problems, outcomes, evidence grade, recommendations, and recommendation strength in the included clinical practice guidelines were collected, for which the development status was analyzed, and the quality was evaluated with the Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) tool for clinical practice guidelines. ResultsTotally, 34 guidelines were included, involving 273 kinds of CPMs. One to ten (with the medium five) clinical problems were proposed from 29 clinical practice guidelines respectively. All the guidelines divided the evidence into four grades according to Grade of Recommendation Assessment, Deve-lopement an Evaluation. And 28 guidelines had five levels of recommendation strength. A total of 344 recommendations were extracted, including 86 strong-recommendations, 191 weak-recommendations (including 36 weak recommendations only based on expert consensus) and 67 recommendations with unclear recommendation strength. All guidelines had high scores in the three areas of “clinical questions (94.20%)”, “evidence (91.45%)” and “recommendations (89.06%)”, while the scores in the three areas of “registry (22.06%)”, “protocol (19.00%)” and “accessibility (31.51%)” were low. The STAR recommended stars of 8 guidelines were 5.0~4.0 stars, while that of 18 guidelines were 3.5~2.5 stars, and 8 guidelines were 2.0~1.0 stars. The three guidelines with the highest recommended stars were depressive disorder, community-acquired pneumonia, and influenza in adult. ConclusionThere is a certain gap in the quality of the published clinical practice guidelines of CPMs, and the quality of the guidelines could be further improved in registry, protocols, funds, and accessibility.
