This paper proposed to understand the pathogenesis and provide syndrome differentiated treatment for anxiety and depression-related dry eyes from the perspective of the liver and the lung, in order to provide ideas for treatment of this disease with traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed that the occurrence and development of anxiety and depression-related dry eyes is related to the ethereal qi and blood damage and blocked circulation of qi and blood. The liver and the lung are the main located zang-fu (脏腑) organs of the disease, and the qi movement, sweat pores, meridians and collaterals abnormalities of the liver and the lung are the pathological basis. The basic pathogenesis is disharmony of the liver and the lung, loss nourishment of eyes, and loss calm of the mind. In clinical practice, the root treatment is to restore the functions of the liver governing ascent and the lung governing descent, and to open up the sweat pores, meridians and collaterals, while the branch treatment is to promote the production of body fluids, nourish yin and calm the mind. Both the root and the branch causes are treated to restore the physiological functions, and Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder (丹栀逍遥散) combined with Shengmai Powder (生脉散) with modification is often used as the basic prescription.

Purpose To explore the value of deep learning feature prediction based on the ResNet50 deep residual network model for predicting early hematoma expansion in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage without traditional imaging manifestations. Materials and Methods A retrospective study was performed on 235 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in Jiangdu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from January 2019 and December 2022. These patients had undergone their initial plain cranial CT scan within 6 hours of symptom onset and a subsequent follow-up scan within 24 hours of admission. They were randomly assigned to a training set consisting of 188 cases and a test set of 47 cases,using an 8︰2 ratio. The region of interest (ROI) of hematoma was traced layer by layer on the first plain head CT,and image genomics features were extracted. The maximum two-dimensional cross-sectional ROI of the hematoma 3D-ROI,as well as ROI images at 1 mm and 2 mm above and below the maximum two-dimensional cross-sectional ROI,were then cut and input into the pre-trained ResNet50 model for feature extraction. The image genomics features were then fused with the extracted deep learning features using a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model. A support vector machine classifier was used to construct a prediction model,which was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves and decision curve analysis. Results In the training set,the area under curve (AUC) of the deep learning feature model was 0.972,which was higher than that of the image genomics feature model (0.951) and the fused feature model (0.968),but this difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). In the testing set,the AUCs of the deep learning feature model and the fused feature model were 0.867 and 0.895,respectively,which were significantly higher than that of the image genomics feature model (0.833),with statistically significant differences (Z=-1.794,-2.191,both P<0.05). The AUC of the fused feature model showed an improvement compared to the deep learning feature model,but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). In the test set,decision curve analysis revealed that the fused feature model yielded greater benefits compared to both the deep learning feature model and the radiomic feature model. Conclusion The deep learning feature model based on ResNet50 deep residual network shows better performance in predicting early hematoma expansion than the image genomics feature model,and the fused feature model has a beneficial effect on predicting hematoma expansion. This deep learning approach provides a prediction tool with supervisory capability for clinical decision-making.

Objective:Childhood traumatic experiences greatly influenced the brain network activities of patients with depression,and there is an urgent need to explore the temporal dynamics for these changes.This study aims to investigate the abnormalities of resting-state electroencephalogram(EEG)microstates in eye-open state of depressed adolescents and to explore the correlations between their EEG microstates and the childhood traumatic experience. Methods:Using resting-state EEG microstate analysis,we explored the temporal dynamics of brain activity in patients with adolescent depression.This study selected 66 adolescents with depression as a patient group,and 27 healthy adolescents as a healthy control group.A modified k-means clustering algorithm was used to classify the 64-channel resting-state EEG data into different microstates.Independent sample t-tests were used to compare the microstate parameters between the 2 groups and further assciations between these parameters and childhood traumatic experience in patients were explored via using Spearman correlation. Results:In this study,significant differences were observed in the occurrence and transition probabilities of EEG microstates between the healthy control and the patient group.Notably,there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05)in the occurrence of microstate A across 2 groups,exhibiting a negative correlation with the emotional abuse component within the childhood trauma scores(Spearman's rho=-0.31,P=0.013).Furthermore,patient-specific,non-random transitions from microstate B to A(Spearman's rho=-0.30,P=0.015)and C to A(Spearman's rho=-0.31,P=0.013)were inversely associated with the scores of emotional abuse factors from childhood trauma in the patient group,showing statistically significant differences when comparing to the healthy controls(P<0.05).Upon stratification into quartiles based on the emotional abuse factor scores,the occurrence of microstate A,as well as the transition rates from microstates B to A and C to A,retained statistical significance following adjustment for multiple comparisons(all P<0.05). Conclusion:The abnormal temporal dynamics in brain networks of adolescents with depression are linked to childhood emotional abuse.Those who have suffered severe emotional abuse may show greater impairments in the brain's visual and central executive networks.EEG microstate analysis could be a potential tool for detecting adolescent depression with severe childhood trauma.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects of internal fixation via the posterolateral combined posteromedial approach in the treatment of posterior pilon fracture (Klammer type Ⅲ).Methods:A retrospective study was performed to analyze the 69 posterior pilon fractures (Klammer type Ⅲ) which had been treated by internal fixation with hollow screws or a buttress plate at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Yantai Shan Hospital from January 2015 to January 2020. There were 36 males and 33 females with an age of (45.3±10.0) years and duration from injury to surgery of (6.0±1.5) d. They were assigned into 2 groups according to different surgical approaches. The observation group (41 cases) was treated through the posterolateral combined posteromedial approach while the control group (28 cases) through the posterolateral approach alone. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by comparing the 2 groups in terms of incision length, intraoperative bleeding, operation time, fracture union time, fracture reduction (evaluated by the Burrwell-Charnley radiological score), the ankle-hindfoot score of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and complications.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). All the 69 cases were followed up for (16.9±4.0) months, revealing primary healing of all the incisions and no vascular injury or wound infection. The incision length [(11.2±1.8) cm] and operation time [(76.0±6.6) min] in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(12.4±1.9) cm and (79.7±6.8) min], the excellent and good rate of reduction in the observation group (97.6%, 40/41) was significantly higher than that in the control group (89.3%, 25/28), and the ankle-hindfoot scores of AOFAS at 1, 3 and 12 months after operation in the observation group [(78.4±5.6), (79.5±2.8) and (86.9±2.1)] were significantly higher than those in the control group [(75.2±5.5), (78.0±3.2) and (85.8±2.3)] (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the intraoperative bleeding between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). In the control group, 2 patients developed numbness in the dorsum of foot, which gradually disappeared after 3 months of treatment, but no other complications like persistent pain or flexor contracture within 1 year after operation. Conclusion:In the treatment of Klammer type Ⅲ posterior pilon fracture, the posterolateral combined posteromedial approach can result in satisfactory therapeutic effects, because the surgical approach can fully expose the fracture and facilitate better reduction.
