ObjectiveTo observe the activation patterns and functional connectivity in the prefrontal cortex of patients with post-stroke anxiety (PSA) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy, in order to explore the underlying neural mechanism. MethodsFrom December, 2024 to September, 2025, 120 stroke patients were selected in Changzhou De'an Hospital. They were divided into PSA group (n = 60) and non-PSA group (n = 60) according to the score of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). All patients wore an 18-channel fNIRS acquisition cap for detection. The differences in resting-state functional connectivity between the frontopolar cortex (FPC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) were examined in both groups, as well as task-related activation in these brain regions. ResultsResting-state functional connectivity analysis revealed no statistically significant difference in network connectivity between two groups in the FPC and DLPFC regions (|t| < 1.301, P > 0.05). Task-related activation results revealed significantly reduced activation in the contralateral FPC of PSA group compared to the non-PSA group (Z = -2.063, P < 0.05). Activation levels in this region showed a negative correlation with the scores of HAMA (ρ = -0.201, P = 0.028). ConclusionActivation decreased in the contralateral frontal pole during the task state for patients with PSA, and the activation levels negatively correlates with anxiety severities.

Objective:To investigate the application value of intraoperative electrocochleography（ECochG） monitoring technique and insertion techniques in cochlear implant（CI） and analyze its relationship with postoperative residual hearing（RH） preservation. Methods:Thirty-one patients（35 ears） who received CI in our hospital from June 2022 to July 2024 were enrolled. The Advanced Bionics Active Insertion Monitoring（AIM） system was used for real-time ECochG monitoring during surgery. Intraoperative cochlear microphonics （CM） waveform changes were recorded and analyzed in relation to postoperative RH preservation. Results:①ECochG recordings were successfully obtained in 34 of 35 ears （97.1%）. ②According to Harris classification, there were 7 ears（20.6%） of Type A（rising）, 7 ears（20.6%） of Type C（declining）, 8 ears（23.5%） of Type CC（fluctuating）, and 12 ears（35.3%） of Type D（no response）. ③The total CM amplitude decrease was significantly moderately correlated with postoperative low-mid frequency hearing loss（r=0.67, P=0.017）. The total CM amplitude decrease was significantly moderately correlated with postoperative low frequency hearing loss（r=0.65, P=0.023）. ④For the mean amplitude variation, the Amax was 30.70 μV, the Amin was 8.64 μV, and the Aend was 18.27 μV. ⑤Sixteen cases completed postoperative follow-up, with an average low-mid frequency（125-1 000 Hz） residual hearing loss of 15.25 dB HL and a RH preservation rate of 87.5%. Conclusion:Intraoperative ECochG monitoring can effectively predict postoperative residual hearing changes, effectively guide surgical manipulation, and improve residual hearing preservation rate.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of fuzuloparib for the treatment of ovarian epithelial cancer patients in the real world setting.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the baseline data of 4 620 ovarian cancer patients who had received fuzuloparib monotherapy or combination therapy. Another 224 ovarian cancer patients who were willing to receive fuzuloparib monotherapy or combination therapy were prospectively enrolled, and their baseline characteristics, drug effectiveness, and safety data were analyzed.Results:(1) Among the 4 620 patients in the retrospective cohort, the median age of patients was 60 years; tumor types: 89.8% (4 149/4 620) had ovarian cancer. Among patients with clearly documented information, the vast majority had a histological type of serous carcinoma (82.9%, 3 770/4 546) and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging of Ⅲ-Ⅳ (90.9%, 1 537/1 691). (2) Among the 224 patients in the prospective cohort, the median age of patients was 57 years; tumor types: 83.9% (188/224) had ovarian cancer. Among patients with clearly documented records, the predominant pathologic type was serous carcinoma (91.9%, 193/210), and FIGO stage was Ⅲ-Ⅳ in 79.9% (139/174). (3) Among the 224 prospective patients: 84 patients received first-line fluzoparib maintenance therapy, 92 patients received fluzoparib maintenance therapy after platinum-sensitive recurrence, 23 patients received direct fluzoparib treatment after platinum-sensitive recurrence, 19 patients received direct fluzoparib treatment after platinum-resistant recurrence. The median follow-up durations were 8.5, 8.7, 7.9, and 6.7 months, respectively. The median durations of fluzoparib treatment were 6.7, 4.8, 3.1, and 1.9 months, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) times were not reached during follow-up, 12.6 months, not reached during follow-up, and 4.8 months, respectively. The 1-year PFS rates were 84.1%, 55.0%, 69.8%, and 45.5%, respectively. The remaining 6 patients received other fluzoparib regimens. (4) Among the 224 patients in the prospective dataset, 205 had safety data recorded. Of these, 127 patients (62.0%, 127/205) experienced treatment-related adverse events, with common events including anemia (24.4%, 50/205), thrombocytopenia (21.0%, 43/205), and leukopenia (19.5%, 40/205). Among the 205 patients, 43 (21.0%, 43/205) experienced grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events, with common events including anemia (8.3%, 17/205) and thrombocytopenia (8.3%, 17/205).Conclusions:The effectiveness of fuzuloparib in clinical application is generally consistent with other drugs in the same class, with good safety. This study provids new clinical evidence for the treatment of ovarian cancer with fuzuloparib.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4), NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), aspartate aminotransferase to platelet count ratio (APRI), liver stiffness value (LSM), and Agile 3+ score and their combined model in predicting advanced-stage liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) combined with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted on the BMOVE population.Nine hundred twenty CHB cases combined with MAFLD who underwent liver biopsy at seven medical centers in China from April 2006 to December 2023 were included. The patients were divided into advanced-stage liver fibrosis (159 cases) and non-advanced-stage liver fibrosis (761 cases) according to the Scheuer's scoring system.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), decision curve, and calibration curve analysis were used to evaluate the efficacy of the firbrosis-4 index (FIB-4) score, NFS score, APRI index, LSM, and Agile 3+ score and their combined model in predicting advanced-stage fibrosis. The liver fibrosis grade of all patients was diagnosed by liver biopsy. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of each scoring model and combined model, as well as the proportion of correctly classified patients, were calculated based on different cutoff values.Results:AUROC analysis showed that Agile 3+ (0.814, 95% CI: 0.787-0.838) and LSM (0.805, 95% CI: 0.778-0.829) had similar accuracy and were superior to FIB-4 (0.721, 95% CI: 0.691-0.749), NFS (0.687, 95% CI: 0.656-0.716) and APRI ( 0.689, 95% CI: 0.658-0.718); however, HBV DNA level and HBV e antigen status had no effect on this outcome. Decision curve analysis showed that interventions based on LSM and Agile 3+ had provided higher net benefits compared with serological scores. Calibration curves showed that Agile 3+ had better predicitive accuracy than all other models. Agile 3+ had the highest PPV (0.54), minimal uncertainty interval (11.6%), and the highest proportion of correctly classified patients (76%); followed by LSM (PPV: 0.43, uncertainty interval: 15.5%, correct classification rate: 66%), and FIB-4 (PPV: 0.42, uncertainty interval: 26.1%, correct classification rate: 62.6%) in terms of identifying advanced-stage liver fibrosis. Combined model analysis demonstrated that FIB-4 combined with Agile 3+ had improved the correct classification rate and reduced the proportion of missed patients compared with FIB-4 combined with LSM. Conclusion:The Agile 3+ score is superior than LSM, FIB-4, NFS, and APRI index at identifying advanced-stage fibrosis in patients with CHB combined with MAFLD. This study supports the use of FIB-4 index combined with Agile 3+ for risk stratification in patients with CHB combined with MAFLD.

Objective To explore the potential central mechanisms of functional electrical stimulation(FES)hand cycling in promot-ing upper limb motor recovery after stroke.Methods A total of 35 stroke patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Center of Changzhou De'an Hospital from May,2023 to December,2024 were enrolled.They sequentially completed 10-minute FES hand cycling and 10-minute sham stimulation(simple hand cycling)tasks.The task order was randomized via dice rolling.Functional near-in-frared spectroscopy(fNIRS)was used to monitor real-time cerebral hemodynamic changes during both tasks to calculate the overall functional connectivity(FC)strength and the FC strength within regions of interest.Results The overall FC strength was higher during the FES hand cycling task than during the sham task(t=2.591,P<0.05),as well as FC between the ipsilateral primary motor cortex(iM1)and ipsilateral somatosensory association cortex(iSAC),iM1 and contralateral somatosensory association cortex(cSAC),ipsilateral pre-motor and supple-mentary motor cortex(iPMC)and iSAC,iPMC and cSAC,iPMC and ipsilateral primary somatosensory cortex(iS1),iPMC and iM1,and contralateral pre-motor and supplementary motor cortex(cPMC)and iSAC(PFDR<0.05).Conclusion FES hand cycling can promote the cortical function remodeling between cerebral hemispheres and the af-fected hemisphere,to integrate sensory-motor function.
