Microvascular invasion is one of the critical factors influencing the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Accurate preoperative prediction for its occurrence holds pivotal significance for the formulation of clinical individualized treatment decisions.Traditional diagnosis primarily relies on the evaluation of postoperative histopathological results,which exhibits a certain degree of lag.However,the emergence of radiomics features and biomarkers offers new insights for the preoperative prediction of mi-crovascular invasion.The preoperative prediction model based on radiomics and biomarkers is capable of precisely analyzing and efficiently predicting the occurrence risk of microvascular invasion from both macro-scopic imaging features and microscopic molecular levels,thereby providing multi-dimensional and precise scientific evidence for clinical decision-making.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of electroconvulsive therapy(ECT)in reducing suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms of major depressive disorder patients,as well as its effect on cognitive function.Methods A total of 160 adolescent patients with major depressive disorder were recruited for this study.The ECT group(n=81)received conventional antidepressant medication combined with 8 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy,and the control group(n=79)received conventional antidepressant medication only.Depressive symptoms,suicidal ideation,and cognitive functioning were assessed using 17-item Hamilton rating scale for depression(HAMD-17)and self-rating idea of suicide scale(SIOSS),at baseline(before ECT),after ECT,and at 2 and 6 weeks after treatment.The Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)was used to evaluate the cognitive function of the patients,and the patients were followed up for side effects such as dizziness and nausea.Results Generalized estimating equation(GEE)analysis of HAMD-17 and SIOSS scores showed significant group×time interaction effects(P<0.01).Both groups exhibited a reduction in HAMD-17 scores before and after treatment(scores at four time points:ECT group 24.59±4.56 vs.13.25±4.32 vs.6.20±1.95 vs.3.62±2.04,control group 23.48±3.66 vs.15.42±3.11 vs.10.10±2.05 vs.4.68±2.01;P<0.01).The mean difference in HAMD-17 scores before and after treatment was-9.62±3.13 in the ECT group,and was-8.16±1.71 in the control group.Additionally,suicidal ideation reduced in both groups after treatment(SIOSS scores at four time points:ECT group 18.57±2.85 vs.10.93±3.52 vs.8.02±2.79 vs.3.70±1.96,control group 18.97±3.03 vs.15.51±2.98 vs.11.11±2.18 vs.6.44±1.78;P<0.01).For cognitive function scores,there was no interaction between group and time(P=0.21),the difference in the change in MoCA scores at different follow-up time points was significant(P<0.01),and the difference in the change in MoCA scores between the two groups was not significant(P=0.05),and the cognitive functions of the two groups could be restored to the baseline level at 6 weeks after treatment.No severe side effects were reported in either group of patients during the study.Conclusions Our findings confirm that ECT is effective and safe for improving suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms in adolescents with major depressive disorder.The impairment of cognitive function by ECT in adolescent patients with major depressive disorder is reversible.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,laboratory indicators and prognosis of patients with bacterial ascites,and to provide evidence for early clinical diagnosis and treatmen.Methods Clinical data of patients diagnosed with cirrhosis ascites from First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to diagnostic criteria,they were divided into bacterial ascites group(n=24),spontaneous bacterial peritonitis group(n=20)and control group(n=26).The clinical features,laboratory indicators and prognosis of three groups were compared.Results Cirrhosis ascites caused by hepatitis B accounted for the highest proportion.The white blood cell count,neutrophil percentage,ascites white blood cell and polymorphonuclear leukocyte count of patients in bacterial ascites group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Gram-positive bacteria was the main pathogens causing bacterial ascites,among which staphylococcus accounts for the highest proportion.Ten cases of bacterial ascites with symptoms of infection were treated with ascites culture and anti-infection therapy.The 14 patients without symptoms of infection were given different treatment according to the development of the disease,one patient died,and the other patients improved.Conclusion The number of patients with bacterial ascites was large,and the main pathogenic bacteria was Gram-positive coccus.The combination of clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators is beneficial to the early diagnosis of bacterial ascites and the decision of treatment.

Objective:To explore values and differences of multi-modality image registration and normalization methods in 18F-AV45 PET quantitative analysis of Alzheimer′s disease (AD). Methods:Twenty AD patients (10 males, 10 females; age (77.0±5.8) years) and 20 normal controls (NC; 8 males, 12 females; age (75.2±4.8) years) from the AD neuroimaging initiative (ADNI) open database of the National Institute on Aging were analyzed. β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition (positive/negative) was assessed by visual analysis. The SUV ratio (SUVr) in each brain region and individual average SUVr were calculated using template normalization method (M1), normalization after registration with 18F-FDG PET or MRI image (M2 or M3) respectively with the cerebellum as the reference area. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to complete the reliability between methods, and independent-sample t test and one-way repeated measures analysis of variance were used to compare the differences of quantitative indexes between different groups and different methods. ROC curve analysis was used to compare the diagnostic efficacy in distinguishing AD and NC, Aβ positive and negative cases. Results:There were 15 and 6 patients with positive Aβ deposition in AD group and in NC group respectively by visual analysis. The SUVrs of three methods were with good consistency (ICC=0.82, P<0.001), and the differences among individual average SUVrs (1.29±0.17, 1.36±0.23, 1.45±0.24) were significant ( F=68.78, P<0.001). There were significant differences between AD group (1.39±0.17, 1.48±0.24, 1.58±0.25) and NC group (1.20±0.10, 1.24±0.15, 1.33±0.16; t values: 3.55-4.33, all P<0.05), Aβ positive group (1.39±0.16, 1.50±0.21, 1.59±0.23) and negative group (1.19±0.11, 1.21±0.14, 1.31±0.15; t values: 4.58, 5.11, 4.41, all P<0.001), and the individual average SUVr of M3 was higher (both P<0.001). The AUCs of distinguishing Aβ positive and negative deposition of M1-M3 were 0.86, 0.88, 0.84 and the thresholds of SUVrs were 1.29, 1.37, 1.52, respectively. Conclusion:The three multi-modality registration and normalization methods are reliable methods for quantitation of 18F-AV45 PET imaging with certain differences, and should be selected carefully based on data conditions in practice.

OBJE CTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of a dverse drug reactions of asparaginase-associated pancreatitis（AAP），so as to provide reference for clinical safe medication. METHODS Analysis and identification were performed on a severe adverse reaction case of acute pancreatitis complicated with diabetic ketoacidosis and liver injury in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in our hospital after using pegaspargase. Retrieved from Wanfang database ，CNKI，PubMed and Embase database，case reports of AAP were collected and summarized in terms of patient demographics ，drug use ，incubation period and adverse reaction outcome. Combined with this case ，the disease characteristics and potential risk factors of AAP were analyzed and discussed. RESULTS After analysis and identification ，it was determined that AAP occurred in this patient. A total of 47 case reports were retrieved from the database ，and a total of 52 patients（including this patient ）were included in the analysis ，including 29 males and 23 females，mainly minors （65.4％）. L-asparaginase was the main asparaginase preparation that causes AAP （80.8％）. Gastrointestinal symptoms were the main prodromal symptoms （92.3％），which could be accompanied by other asparaginase related adverse reactions. AAP could occur after 1-33 times of administration ，and the median latency was 14 days after administration；compared with children ，median latency of AAP in adult patients was shortened significantly （11 d vs. 16 d，P＝ 0.049）；the median latency of AAP had longer tendency in patients treated with pegaspargase than that of L-asparaginase （17 d vs. 12.5 d，P＝0.490）. Of the cases included in the analysis ，8 patients died due to AAP ，1 of which was related to re-exposure to asparaginase preparations. CONCLUSIONS Acute pancreatitis is a serious and potentially fatal adverse drug reaction of ； asparaginase preparations. Clinical medical staff should pay attention to the characteristics of AAP ，consider the possibility ： of AAP when the patients have gastrointestinal symptoms and do a good job in patient education and pharmaceutical care to minimize the damage caused by AAP to patients.

Pharmacy active consultation refers to the spontaneous activity that clinical pharmacists take the initiative to go to clinical departments to help doctors solve problems related to drug use in clinical practice ，put forward drug treatment suggestions or provide pharmaceutical services ，and form medical documents . The difference between pharmacy active consultation and pharmacy consultation is that the latter is generally proposed by the clinician ，who sends a consultation invitation to the pharmacy department in the hospital information system ，and the clinical pharmacist will go to the consultation after receiving it ，while the former is a pharmaceutical service mode that the clinical pharmacist takes the initiative to carry out in the clinical department . On the basis of routine pharmacy active consultation ，clinical pharmacists in our hospital also further carried out a special active consultation mode （including prompt special active consultation for patients with multidrug resistance bacteria positive ，active monitoring and intervention for patients with drug -induced liver injury ），and patient pharmaceutical supervision in the form of return visit of pharmacy active consultation . Pharmacy active consultation and its special active consultation possess the characteristics of initiative ， early and extensive coverage ，as a supplement to resident clinical pharmacy services . Pharmacy active consultation could help the pharmacy department to improve service efficiency ，provide a new perspective for medical institutions to carry out efficient pharmaceutical services ，and supply new ideas for the reform of pharmaceutical services in China .

In contrast to the well-established genomic 5-methylcytosine (5mC), the existence of N⁶-methyladenine (6 mA) in eukaryotic genomes was discovered only recently. Initial studies found that it was actively regulated in cancer cells, suggesting its involvement in the process of carcinogenesis. However, the contribution of 6 mA in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) still remains uncharacterized. In this study, a pan-cancer type analysis was first performed, which revealed enhanced 6 mA metabolism in diverse cancer types. The study was then focused on the regulation of 6 mA metabolism, as well as its effects on TSCC cells. To these aspects, genome 6 mA level was found greatly increased in TSCC tissues and cultured cells. By knocking down 6 mA methylases N6AMT1 and METTL4, the level of genomic 6 mA was decreased in TSCC cells. This led to suppressed colony formation and cell migration. By contrast, knockdown of 6 mA demethylase ALKBH1 resulted in an increased 6 mA level, enhanced colony formation, and cell migration. Further study suggested that regulation of the NF-κB pathway might contribute to the enhanced migration of TSCC cells. Therefore, in the case of TSCC, we have shown that genomic 6 mA modification is involved in the proliferation and migration of cancer cells.
