Objective To investigate the correlation between different grade glioma and MRI image texture parameters and the guiding value of texture analysis for postoperative prognosis.Methods A total of 107 glioma patients were selected,and the texture parameters of MRI images were recorded.The correlation between the grade of glioma and the texture parameters of MRI images was analyzed.The risk factors affecting postoperative adverse effects of glioma patients were analyzed,and the diagnostic efficacy of each texture parameter in predicting glioma grade and postoperative good condition was evaluated.Results Comparison of MRI image tex-ture parameters between patients with low-grade glioma and patients with high-grade glioma showed no significant differences in kur-tosis,skewness,standard deviation,contrast and uniformity,but significant differences in correlation,entropy,consistency and gap distance.Correlation,entropy,consistency and gap distance were significantly correlated with glioma grade.The diagostic efficiency of entropy in predicting glioma grade was significantly higher than that of correlation,consistency and gap distance.The combination of the four predicted glioma patients with good postoperative diagnostic efficacy was the highest.Conclusion The correlation,entropy,consistency and gap distance of MRI image texture parameters can effectively diagnose the grade of glioma,and the combination of the four parameters is more beneficial to the postoperative evaluation of glioma patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 2 650 MHz radiofrequency (RF) exposure on the behavior and neurotransmitter release of mice.Methods:Adult male C57BL/6N mice were divided into a normal control (CON) group and a radiofrequency radiation (RFR) group using the random number table method. The mice in the RFR group were subjected to single-dose whole-body exposure to a uniform 2 650 MHz RF electromagnetic field for 3 h. During the RF exposure, the field strength in the effective working area of the RF radiation platform was measured using an electromagnetic radiation analyzer, and the changes in the anal temperature of the mice were monitored using an optical fiber thermometer. Moreover, the changes in the cognition, social interaction, and emotion of the mice were determined through the new object recognition test, social preference test, and open field test. Finally, the changes in the hippocampal neurotransmitter release levels of the mice were detected using microdialysis sampling and mass spectrometry, and the changes in the hippocampal tissue structure and ultrastructure were observed via microscopy.Results:Under the test conditions, RF radiation improved the anal temperature of the mice, with a maximum increasing amplitude of 0.61℃, falling within the range of thermal safety. The mice in the RFR group experienced a significant decrease in the frequency and time for exploring new objects ( t=4.50, 2.53, P < 0.05) in the new object recognition test, a significant decrease in the frequency ( t=0.08, P<0.01) and time ( t=0.03, P<0.05) for exploring other mice in the social preference test, and no significant change in the frequency and time for exploring the central area ( P > 0.05) in the open field test. Compared to the CON group, the RFR group showed an increase in the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) ( t=-2.56, P < 0.05) and a decrease in the release of acetylcholine (ACh) ( t=2.21, P < 0.05), no significant difference in the release of glutamate (Glu) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ( P > 0.05), and no evident damage to the hippocampal tissue and structure and synaptic ultrastructure. Conclusions:2 650 MHz RF radiation may induce cognitive impairment and abnormal social preference in mice, which is attributed to neuronal dysfunctions and neurotransmitter release disorders under RF exposure.

BACKGROUND:Medium-and large-diameter polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels have been widely used in clinical practice.However,most of the products were imported from other countries.Small-diameter porous polytetrafluoroethylene vessels are easy to form thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia,resulting in an extremely low long-term patency rate,which is difficult to fulfill clinical requirements. OBJECTIVE:To review and summarize the research progress of polytetrafluoroethylene in the field of artificial blood vessels,which can provide a reference for the functional modification of small-diameter polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels and the improvement of their long-term patency rate. METHODS:The relevant articles published from October 2022 to March 2023 in CNKI,Web of Science,Wiley Online Library,SpringerLink,Science Direct and IOP Science databases were searched by the first author.The search terms in Chinese were"porous polytetrafluoroethylene,vascular graft,electrospinning,medical application,functional modification".The search terms in English were"ePTFE,porous polytetrafluoroethylene,vascular graft,electrospinning,medical application,functional modification".All the articles about the preparation and modification of polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels were retrieved. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The preparation and functional modification of porous polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels were still research hotspots and difficult problems.From the research progress in and outside China in recent years,the preparation of porous polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels mainly adopted the rapid thermal stretching method,but the preparation of polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels by electrospinning was a promising new method.By analyzing and summarizing different functional modification methods,it was found that the long-term patency rate of porous polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels had been improved.However,the functional modification of small-diameter polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels still needed further exploration and optimization.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of different functional dyspepsia(FD)modeling methods and explore the thera-peutic effect and potential mechanism of Banxia Xiexin Decoction on FD.METHODS BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the blank group,iodoacetamide group,loperamide group,tail clamp group and vinegar group.After 1 week of intervention,the status of mice in each group was observed and their gastrointestinal motility,hormone levels and pathological changes were detected.A more i-deal FD modeling method was evaluated and determined.After modeling,different doses of Banxia Xiexin Decoction were given to in-tervene,and the changes in the gastrointestinal function of mice were observed.The expression of related proteins was studied by im-munohistochemistry,ELISA,Western Blot and other experimental methods.RESULTS Comparing the four modeling methods,it was found that the mice in the iodoacetamide group,loperamide group,and vinegar group showed weight loss compared to the blank group;the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of mice in the iodoacetamide group and vinegar group decreased;changes in gastrointestinal hormones were found in the serum of mice in the tail clip group and vinegar group.Finally,the iodoacetamide meth-od was evaluated as the optimal FD modeling method.The administration results showed that Banxia Xiexin Decoction had no signifi-cant effect on the food intake and body weight of FD mice,while medium and high doses could improve the physical condition of FD mice,increase their gastric emptying rate and small intestine propulsion rate.The experimental results of immunohistochemistry,West-ern blotting,and ELISA confirmed that medium and high doses of Banxia Xiexin Decoction can significantly reduce the expression lev-els of TNF-α and IL-6 in the duodenum and serum of FD mice.CONCLUSION The iodoacetamide method is a better FD modeling method.Banxia Xiexin Decoction can improve the condition of FD mice,increase gastrointestinal motility,reduce the secretion of in-flammatory factor,thereby achieving the therapeutic effect of treating FD.

Background: Several risk factors have been identified that compromise the treatment outcome in patients with early-to-mid-stage cervical cancer (CC) who are primarily treated with radical surgery. However, there is no report on the impact of intraoperative frozen pathology examination of vaginal margins on the prognosis of patients with CC. This study aimed to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to determine whether selective vaginal resection can reduce the incidence of operative complications and the risk of postoperative radiotherapy. The impact of the length of the vagina removed in radical hysterectomy (RH) on prognosis and quality of life (QoL) for IB2–IIA2 CC patients will be investigated. Methods A multicenter, non-inferiority, RCT at 7 institutions in China is designed to investigate the effect of intraoperative frozen pathology exam of vaginal margin in RH on the survival outcomes for patients with IB2–IIA2 CC. Eligible patients aged 18–70 years will be randomly assigned online by one-to-one random allocation to receive intraoperative frozen pathology exam of vaginal margin or not. If frozen pathology indicates positive margin, continue resection of 1 centimeter of vaginal tissue until negative margin is achieved. The primary end point is 2-year disease-free survival (DFS). Adverse events (AEs) caused by further vagina resection, 5-year DFS, 2-year overall survival (OS), 5-year OS and AEs caused by radiotherapy and QoL are secondary end points. A total of 310 patients will be enrolled from 7 tertiary hospitals in China within 3-year period and followed up for 5 years.Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry Identifier: ChiCTR2000035668

Background: Radical hysterectomy (RH) is commonly used to treat early-stage cervical cancer in women of childbearing age and sexual dysfunction due to postoperative vaginal shortening is a major concern. The impact of intraoperative vaginoplasty on prognosis and quality of sexual life in patients with early-stage cervical cancer remains controversial and lacks high-level evidence. However, there are few reports on vaginoplasty after RH to lengthen vagina in patients. This prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial aims to explore the impact of peritoneal vaginoplasty with or without ovarian transposition after laparoscopic RH on sexual dysfunction in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. Methods Eligible patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive peritoneal vaginoplasty or not. The primary evaluation indicators are female sexual function index (FSFI) and male sexual satisfaction scale. The secondary evaluation indicators include EORTC QLQ-CX24, 2-year overall survival (OS), 5-year OS, 2-year progression-free survival (PFS), 5-year PFS and surgery-related complications. The trial will enroll 368 patients from 6 hospitals in China over a 3-year period and follow up for 5 years.Trial RegistrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry Identifier: ChiCTR2000040610SynopsisIt's a prospective, randomized controlled trial to explore the effect of peritoneal vaginoplasty with or without ovarian transposition following laparoscopic radical hysterectomy on sexual dysfunction in patients with cervical cancer.
