This case report describes a 68-year-old male patient diagnosed with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). After receiving Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT), the tumor significantly reduced in size, and tumor markers alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and abnormal prothrombin (PIVKA-Ⅱ) decreased. Postoperative pathological results showed minimal residual tumor cells, indicating that ⁹⁰Y-SIRT has good efficacy and safety in downstaging and conversion of HCC, thereby facilitating subsequent surgical resection.

Objective:To optimize the image quality of PET/CT following 90Y-selective internal radiation therapy ( 90Y-SIRT) using block-sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM) reconstruction algorithm, and to evaluate its impact of different β values on image quality and quantitative analysis. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 8 male patients with hepatic tumors (age: 62(52, 71) years) treated at Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua Medicine Tsinghua University, between June 2024 and January 2025. All patients were treated with 90Y resin microspheres (2.6(0.9, 3.6)GBq) and underwent post-treatment 90Y PET/CT liver imaging. Imaging data were reconstructed using BSREM with different noise penalty weighting factors ( β values: 0, 300, 1000, 1500, 2500, 3500, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000). Visual assessment was independently performed by two nuclear medicine physicians, using a 4-point scale (1=worst, 4=best). The mean score was considered as the final score. The consistency of the 2 reviewers was calculated and analyzed by Kappa test. Visual scores of different β value groups were compared by Friedman test. The β value demonstrating highest mean score and optimal consistency was selected as the optimal. Quantitative analysis was performed using MIM software to calculate the maximum absorbed dose ( Dmax) and the mean absorbed dose ( Dmean) for tumor, normal liver, and whole liver regions, and the CV was used to evaluate the impact of β values. Results:The visual assessment consistency of reviewers in 3 β value groups (0, 3500, 6000) were the highest (7/8) (all kappa=0.88, all P<0.05). Visual scores of the 10 β value groups were significantly different ( χ2=28.74, P<0.001), and the visual scores of 2 β value groups (3500, 4000) were the highest, both of which were 4.0(4.0, 4.0). Overall, visual assessment identified β=3500 as the optimal. Quantitative analysis revealed that, (1) Dmax in all regions (tumor, normal liver, whole liver) decreased with the increasing β values, stabilizing when β>1000 ( CV 56%-67%); (2) Dmean remained stable across different β values ( CV 0.04%-5.00%). Conclusions:In BSREM reconstruction, β=3500 is the optimal parameter for improving 90Y-PET image quality. β values significantly affect Dmax (stabilizing at β > 1000), but have no significant impact on Dmean, suggesting that reconstruction parameters primarily influence dose distribution morphology rather than average dose assessments.

ObjectiveTo explore the current situation of forensic ethics practice and education by designing a questionnaire on forensic ethics， with a view to exploring the path of forensic ethics education construction. MethodsA total of 667 valid questionnaires were collected using the online survey method， basically covering various regions across the country and all sub-specialties of forensic medicine. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the relevant data. ResultsMost practitioners had relevant ethical reflections in the process of forensic practice. 69.12% of the respondents indicated that they had studied the relevant rules， but approximately half stated that there were no corresponding ethical norms or standard operating manuals. The specific behaviors violating ethics in different units were diverse. 23.04% of the respondents reported that they had encountered unethical behaviors， but only 4.9% of them reported such violations. In terms of forensic ethics education， 87.75% of the respondents believed that there were issues with the current model of forensic ethics education. Meanwhile， the respondents showed a high degree of recognition for receiving forensic ethics education， with 84.15% of respondents expressing willingness to participate in relevant courses. More than half of respondents were willing to participate in forensic ethics education during undergraduate studies， new employee training， and regular post-employment training. ConclusionCurrently， there is a problem of ethical neglect in forensic work in China. Combining ethics courses with professional courses at the practitioner training stage and providing regular training at the practice stage are effective measures to popularize forensic ethics knowledge， enhance ethical awareness， and improve the quality of practice.

Objective : To investigate the role and related mechanisms of IgD on the viability , proliferation , apoptosis , and other functions of Molm_13 cells. Methods: Peripheral blood serum was collected from AML patients and healthy controls. The sIgD levels were quantified by ELISA. For in vitro studies , Molm_13 cells were treated with varying concentrations of IgD. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed via CCK_8 assays , CFSE staining , and colony formation assays. Apoptosis rates were determined using an Annexin V/PI apoptosis detection kit. Preliminary exploration of the mechanisms related to IgD_induced proliferation of Molm_13 were analyzed through differential gene analysis. Results: Compared with healthy controls , the levels of sIgD in AML patients were significantly el_ evated (P < 0. 001 ) . IgD treatment dose_dependently increased Molm_13 cell viability and proliferation ( P < 0. 05) , inhibited apoptosis rates (P < 0. 001) . Conclusion IgD promotes the viability and proliferation of Molm_ 13 cells , and reduces apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the detection status of serological markers for hepatitis B virus (HBV) among Tibetan college students and their relationship with HBV- deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) load.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out to retrospectively analyze data from 1 514 Tibetan college students who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Xizang Minzu University for consultations or health examinations between June 1, 2021 and June 1, 2022. The prevalence of HBV infection among these students was analyzed, the primary epidemiological patterns of HBV markers were identified, and their relationship with HBV-DNA load was determined.Results:The positive rate of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) among the 1 514 Tibetan college students was 6.7% (101/1 514), while the positive rate for Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) was 42.2% (639/1 514). The primary serological pattern of HBV infection consisted of positive results for HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBcAb, which accounted for 48.5% of cases. This pattern showed significantly higher rates of HBV-DNA positivity and elevated viral load compared with other serological patterns ( χ2 = 8.70, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The HBV infection rate among Tibetan college students is 6.7%. The primary infection pattern is characterized by positive tests for HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBcAb, with an HBV-DNA positivity rate as high as 87.0% and elevated viral loads.

Objective This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy and complications associated with microwave ablation(MWA)and sublobectomyfor treating stage ⅠA non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Data from stage ⅠA1-ⅠA3 NSCLC patients treated at Yunnan Cancer Hospital between January 2021 and December 2022 were retrospectively collected.A total of 82 patients who underwent MWA and 82 patients who received sublobectomy were selected through propensity score matching.Periprocedural conditions,short-term efficacy,and complications were compared between the two groups.Progression-free survival(PFS)and Disease-free survival(DFS)were monitored and evaluated.The Kaplan-Meier method was employed to construct survival curves,and logistic regression was utilized to analyze the factors influencing complications.Results The MWA group exhibited shorter procedure times,less intraprocedural blood loss,less postprocedure pain,shorter hospitalization durations,and lower hospitalization costs compared to the sublobectomy group(P<0.001).All patients successfully underwent the procedures,with a complete ablation rate of 97.6%and a local control rate of 87.8%in the MWA group.The median follow-up duration was 26.5 months.Survival curve analysis indicated no statistically significant differences in PFS and DFS between the two groups.The primary complications observed were pneumothorax(24.4%,20/82)and moderate to severe pain(11.0%,9/82)in the MWA group,while the sublobectomy group experienced moderate to severe pain(41.5%,34/82)and pulmonary infection(12.2%,10/82).Single-factor analysis demonstrated six variables influenced the occurrence of MWA pneumothorax.Multi-factor logistic regression revealed that the shortest distance from the tumor to the pleura(P=0.021,OR=15.341,95%CI:1.699～24.367)and the number of punctures through the pleura(P=0.024,OR=0.068,95%CI:0.001～0.612)were identified as independent risk factors for pneumothorax.Conclusion MWA demonstrates good efficacy for treating stage ⅠA NSCLC due to minimal trauma,low cost,rapid recovery,few and mild complications.Additionally,MWA and sublobectomy exhibit comparable PFS and DFS,making MWA a safe and effective treatment method.Therefore,MWA is worthy of promotion in clini-cal practice.

Objective:To understand healthcare professionals' perceptions and experiences of early rehabilitation exercise for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients, explore existing problems in the implementation of early rehabilitation exercise, and provide reference for constructing safe and effective early rehabilitation exercise programs for ECMO patients.Methods:This study was a qualitative study. Using purposeful sampling method, 13 ICU healthcare professionals (including doctors, rehabilitation therapists, and nurses) from three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Zhejiang Province that have implemented early rehabilitation exercise for ECMO patients were selected for semi-structured interviews from March to May 2024, and the interview data were collated and analyzed using the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:The perceptions and experiential perspectives of healthcare professionals on early rehabilitation exercise for ECMO patients can be summarized into three themes and 10 subthemes. The three themes were: healthcare professionals affirm the role of early rehabilitation exercise; lack of unified operational guidelines for early rehabilitation exercise; and patients and their families show high enthusiasm for participating in early rehabilitation exercise.Conclusions:Hospitals should regularly conduct related training on early rehabilitation exercise to enhance the practical skills of healthcare professionals. At the same time, healthcare professionals should focus on utilizing the positive role of patients and their families in the process of early rehabilitation exercise to improve the quality of ECMO patient rehabilitation care.
