Purpose/Significance To apply deep learning technology to achieve the purpose of tongue image analysis automation,so as to provide references for the standardization of tongue image of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and further promote the moderni-zation of TCM diagnosis and treatment technology.Method/Process It develops a new semantic segmentation loss function with region-based correlation and label relaxation to enhance the capability of tongue image segmentation model to learn pixel relationships and handle mislabeled data.Additionally,leveraging inherent color-related priors in tongue image features,the model is simplified by decomposing it into two multi-label classification tasks,thereby accelerating model training and reducing its complexity.Result/Conclusion The pro-posed algorithm is proven effective on a self-constructed dataset,attaining a high 96.57％MIoU in tongue segmentation,and demon-strating strong performance with a macro F1-score of 88.58％and average accuracy of 82.59％.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the cases of medical damage after misdiagnosis of tubal pregnancy, to explore the causes of medical damage, the causal relationship between medical malpractice and the damage consequences, as well as the causative potency, in order to provide evaluation ideas for forensic identification of such cases. METHODS: Eighteen cases of forensic identification of tubal pregnancy related medical damage were collected and retrospectively analyzed from the aspects of age, maternity history, fertility requirements, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment, medical malpractice, damage consequences, and causative potency. RESULTS: All 18 cases were tubal pregnancy, of which 17 cases had medical malpractice, resulting in 14 cases of affected tubal resection, 2 cases of hemorrhagic shock death, 1 case of intrauterine fetal death and affected tubal resection. The other case had the consequence of affected tubal resection, but there was no malpractice in the treatment. CONCLUSIONS Correct diagnosis is helpful to make appropriate treatment plan, prevent disease progression and reduce serious adverse consequences and the occurrence of medical disputes. Scientific and reasonable analysis of the causal relationship between medical malpractice and damage consequences and the causative potency is of great significance to the successful settlement of medical disputes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of vertebral body partition in the unipedicular percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral fractures.Methods:From July 2019 to October 2021, 89 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture were treated by unipedicular PVP at Department of Spinal Surgery, Zhengzhou Orthopaedic Hospital. They were 37 males and 52 females, with a mean age of (70.5±4.8) years (from 60 to 80 years). According to the vertebral body partition, the patients were divided into group a (32 cases), group b (20 cases), group c (21 cases), group d (11 cases), group e (0 case) and group f (5 cases). The therapeutic effects were evaluated by comparing the improvement rates of visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) between preoperation and postoperative 1-day among all partition groups. The imaging efficacy was evaluated by comparing the proportions of bone cement diffusion area in the posteroanterior and lateral DR films and the leakage of bone cement among all partition groups.Results:The improvement rates of VAS score between preoperation and postoperation: group a [77.8 (75.0, 82.5) %] > group b [71.4 (71.4, 71.4) %] > group c [66.7 (66.7, 66.7) %] > group d [60.0 (60.0, 62.5) %] > group f [57.1 (50.0, 57.1)%], showing a statistically significant difference between any 2 groups ( P<0.001). The improvement rates of ODI score: group a (58.0%±4.2%) > group b (47.5%±2.5%) > group c (42.9%±2.9%) > group d (39.6%±3.2%) > group f (34.2%±8.4%), showing a statistically significant difference between any 2 groups ( P<0.001). The proportions of bone cement diffusion area: group a (76.9%±3.5%) > group b (71.3%±3.1%) > group c (66.1%±3.6%) > group d (60.2%±2.6%) > group f (54.0%±4.2%), showing a statistically significant difference between any 2 groups ( P<0.001). Bone cement leakage occurred in 7 cases, including 3 ones of anterior vertebral leakage (1 case in group a and 2 cases in group b), and 4 ones of leakage into the paravertebral venous plexus (2 cases in group c and 2 cases in group d). There was no intraspinal leakage, or symptoms of nerve compression or lesion. Conclusion:In the unipedicular PVP for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, our vertebral body partition can guide puncturing for bone cement injection because it indicates the optimal and the risky partitions.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli（ETEC）infection can induce watery diarrhea，leading to dehydration，electrolyte disturbance，and even death in severe cases. Recombinant B subunit/inactivated whole-cell cholera（rBS/WC）vaccine is effective in preventing ETEC infectious diarrhea. On the basis of the latest evidence on etiology and epidemiology of ETEC，as well as the effectiveness，safety，and health economics of rBS/WC vaccine，National Clinical Research Center for Child Health（The Children’s Hospital，Zhejiang University School of Medicine）and Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention invited experts to develop expert consensus on rBS/WC vaccine in prevention of ETEC infectious diarrhea. It aims to provide the clinicians and vaccination professionals with guidelines on using rBS/WC vaccine to reduce the incidence of ETEC infectious diarrhea.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of allogenic vein replacement in treatment of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, and to analyze risk factors of long-term stenosis.Methods:The clinical data of 77 patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer who underwent surgery from January 2013 to December 2021 at the Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 34 males and 43 females, aged (61.4±10.8) years old. The peri-operative data, long-term prognosis and stenosis of allogenic vein were analysed. Risk factors of stenosis were analyzed by the Cox proportional hazards model. Patients were followed up by outpatient visits or by telephone.Results:Pancreatic cancer had invaded the junction of portal vein/superior mesenteric vein (SMV) in 41 patients, SMV in 22 patients and portal vein in 14 patients. The length of venous resection was (3.7±1.0) cm, the tumor longest diameter was (3.8±1.6) cm, lymph node metastasis was present in 57 patients, R 0 resection was carried out in 70 patients, and the postoperative complication rate was 29.9% (23/77). The survival rates in 6 months, 1-year and 2-year were 84.1%, 52.3% and 32.9% respectively. Mild venous stenosis occurred in 4 patients (5.2%), moderate stenosis in 9 patients (11.7%) and severe stenosis in 11 patients (14.3%). A vascular resection length of more than 3 cm ( RR=4.602, 95% CI: 1.657-12.781, P=0.003) and tumor recurrence ( RR=8.529, 95% CI: 1.129-64.448, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for long-term moderate and severe stenosis of allogeneic vein. Conclusion:It was safe and feasible for allogenic vein to be used to reconstruct the portal venous system in resection of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. Long-term stenosis of the allogenic vein was related to a length of vascular resection of more than 3 cm and recurrence of tumor.

Vinorelbine（NVB）is a semisynthetic vinca alkaloid and can play an anti-tumor role by inhibiting the synthesis of tubulin. Its oral preparation has been used in the treatment of a variety of tumors as its convenience and good clinical response. The blood concentration of NVB is closely related to its curative effect and toxicity. Small variations in blood concentration may reduce the curative effect and even produce serious toxicity. There are some risks in the clinical drug use due to limited clinical data and effective pharmacodynamic monitoring methods. By reviewing the relevant literature at home and abroad ，this paper summarizes the research progress of in vivo pharmacokinetics and toxicity of NVB ，fully understands the pharmacokinetic characteristics and influencing factors of NVB ，the influencing factors of toxicity ，and the application status of pharmacokinetics in the adjustment of administration scheme ，so as to provide reference for its clinical rational use.

Objective:To evaluate the perioperative safety and long-term prognosis of allogeneic vein replacement in abdominal surgery.Methods:Clinical data of 115 patients receiving allogeneic vein replacement from Jan 2013 to Dec 2020 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:The most common operation was radical pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer (75.7%), and the most common vascular replacement sites were the junction of portal vein system (53.9%), followed by superior mesenteric vein (23.5%) and portal vein (18.3%). In our group, 6 patients died (5.2%), 31 patients had complications (27.0%), and 2 patients had portal vein thrombosis (1.7%). During the follow-up period, 8 cases (7.5%) had mild stenosis, 12 cases (11.5%) had moderate stenosis and 14 cases (13.2%) had severe stenosis. The half-year, one-year and two-year incidence of moderate and severe stenosis were 8.0%, 24.4% and 34.5% respectively.Conclusions:The early and mid-term result of allogeneic vein replacement is satisfactory. Use of postoperative anticoagulation may help reduce the incidence of thrombogenesis or stenosis .

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between the production of platelet HLA-Ⅰ antibody and HLA-A, B genes in patients with malignant hematological diseases, and explore the susceptible gene for producing platelet HLA-Ⅰ antibody. METHODS: Patients with malignant hematological diseases who had received multiple platelet transfusion were selected as the research objects in the Department of Hematology of our hospital. Platelet HLA-I antibody were screened by ELISA, and the patients were divided into positive and negative groups according to the results. HLA-A and B genes were sequenced after genomic DNA was extracted, and the frequencies of them were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The positive rate of platelet HLA-I antibody was 22.95%. A total of 13 HLA-A alleles and 14 HLA-B alleles were obtained after the HLA-A and B genes sequencing in 100 cases. The frequencies of HLA-A*24, HLA-A*30, and HLA-B*13 were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05). Frequencies of HLA-A*30 and HLA-B*13 in the positive group were lower than those in the negative group (RR=0.107, 0.387), but HLA-A*24 was higher (RR=1.412). After high-resolution typing of HLA-A*24, HLA-A*30, and HLA-B*13, frequencies of HLA-A*24∶02, HLA-A*30∶01, and HLA-B*13∶02 were significantly different between the two groups, the RR value was 1.412, 0.107, and 0.125, 95%CI was 0.961-2.075, 0.016-0.721, and 0.300-0.515, respectively. CONCLUSION HLA-A*24∶02 may be a susceptible gene for producing platelet HLA-Ⅰ antibody in patients with malignant hematological diseases, while HLA-A*30∶01 and HLA-B*13∶02 may be two protective genes.
