Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes and prognosis of patients with HBV associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) combined with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) after liver lobectomy.Methods:113 HBV infected HCC patients (HBV HCC group), 113 HCC patients with concomitant NAFLD (NAFLD-HCC group) and 113 HCC patients with concomitant HBV infection and NAFLD (HBV/NAFLD-HCC group) who underwent liver lobectomy at Heji Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from Jan. 2018 to Jan. 2021 were selected. All patients underwent radical liver lobectomy and were followed up every 3 months from the date of discharge. The clinical pathological parameters, surgical related indicators, postoperative complications, short-term and long-term prognosis of three groups of patients were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors related to overall survival of HBV/NAFLD-HCC patients.Results:①Compared with patients in HBV-HCC group and NAFLD-HCC group, body mass index, ratio of combined basic diseases (hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes), and maximum tumor diameter of patients in HBV/NAFLD-HCC group were significantly higher ( P<0.05). While the proportion of patients with liver cirrhosis in HBV HCC group was significantly higher than that in NAFLD-HCC group and HBV/NAFLD-HCC group ( P<0.05). ②There was no significant statistical difference ( P>0.05) among three groups of patients in terms of intraoperative vascular occlusion time, surgical time, intraoperative bleeding volume, blood transfusion volume, or postoperative hospitalization time. ③Compared with HBV-HCC and NAFLD-HCC groups, the incidence of postoperative complications (including postoperative bleeding, liver failure after hepatectomy, biliary fistula, subphrenic effusion, and pleural effusion) and the number of perioperative deaths in HBV/NAFLD-HCC group were significantly higher ( P<0.05). ④Compared with HBV-HCC group and NAFLD-HCC group, the postoperative recurrence rate of HBV/NAFLD-HCC group was significantly higher ( P<0.05), and the overall survival and relapse-free survival of HBV/NAFLD-HCC group were significantly shortened ( P<0.05). ⑤Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, cirrhosis, and the largest tumor diameter were risk factors affecting the overall survival of HBV/NAFLD-HCC patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Compared with patients in HBV-HCC and NAFLD-HCC group, HBV/NAFLD-HCC patients have poorer postoperative complications and prognosis. Hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, cirrhosis, and tumor maximum diameter are risk factors affecting the overall survival of HBV/NAFLD-HCC patients.

Objective:To develop a deep learning-based segmentation model for anterior segment ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images to automatically segment the anterior segment tissues of patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).Methods:A single-center retrospective case series was conducted.A small-scale dataset comprised 468 UBM images of the anterior chamber angle closure from 156 patients with PACG who underwent the UBM examination at Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital between July 12, 2022, and February 20, 2023.The UBM images were randomly split into a training dataset of 228 images and a testing dataset of 152 images using a random seed method in a ratio of 6∶4.The models were trained using the PSPNet model with MobileNet V2 and ResNet50 as backbones, the DeepLab v3+ model with MobileNet V2 and Xception as backbones, and the SegFormer model with MiT-B0 and MiT-B2 as backbones.The testing dataset was used for result prediction and to achieve segmentation of four regions: the cornea and sclera, iris, ciliary body, and anterior lens surface.To evaluate the performance of the models in segmenting the anterior segment structures, multiple metrics were assessed, including the mean intersection over union (mIoU), Dice coefficient, precision, recall, false negative rate, and specificity.A comparative analysis of the test results across the different models was subsequently performed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.2023KY-05).Results:The two models with the best segmentation performance were PSPNet and DeepLab v3+ .The PSPNet model with ResNet50 as the backbone achieved the mIoU of 85.11%, Dice coefficient of 91.38%, precision of 91.83%, recall of 90.94%, false negative rate of 9.06%, and specificity of 98.89%.The DeepLab v3+ model with MobileNet V2 as the backbone achieved an mIoU of 85.84%, Dice coefficient of 92.01%, precision of 92.67%, recall of 91.36%, false negative rate of 8.64%, and specificity of 98.90%.Among the five key metrics, mIoU, Dice coefficient, recall, false negative rate, and specificity, DeepLab v3+ exhibited the best segmentation performance.In addition, the DeepLab v3+ model with Xception as the backbone had the highest precision among all models, reaching 92.77%.Conclusions:The deep learning-based DeepLab v3+ model achieves precise segmentation of anterior segment tissue structures in PACG anterior segment UBM image segmentation, providing auxiliary support for clinical diagnosis.

Objective To analyze the reverse mechano-electric effect of the layered structure of articular cartilage and its influencing factors.Methods The cartilage samples were classified according to their physiological thickness(approximately 0.4 mm for the upper layer,1 mm for the middle layer,and 0.6 mm for the lower layer).Through a non-contact external electric field testing method,how different influencing factors affected the reverse mechano-electric effect of articular cartilage was analyzed.Results When the electric field spacing decreased,water content increased,and in vitro time decreased,the displacement of normal layered cartilage in a non-contact electric field increased by 18,10,15 μm,respectively.In the case of simulated arthritis defects,as the defect depth and radius increased,the overall deviation deflection of articular cartilage gradually decreased by about 7 μm.Conclusions The three-layer cartilage differed in their reverse mechano-electricity effects,showing the greatest deflection in the middle layer at 90％water content,under 7 mm electric field spacing,and after 12 hours ex vivo.

Objective:To compare the benefits and prognostic risks of unilateral lobectomy (with or without isthmusectomy) or total (or near-total) thyroidectomy for primary foci of unilateral papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients with ipsilateral lateral cervical lymph node metastasis (LLNM) , so as to find out the optimal surgery for these patients.Methods:A total of 505 unilateral PTC patients with ipsilateral LLNM who underwent initial surgical treatment at the Thyroid Surgery Department of Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from Feb. 2012 to Jan. 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into unilateral lobectomy group ( n=314) and total thyroidectomy group ( n=191) according to the extent of resection of primary foci. Then 177 pairs of cases were screened out after eliminating the potential confounding bias between the two groups by using propensity score matching (PSM) , analyzing the differences in clinical outcomes such as recurrence-free survival (RFS) , overall survival (OS) , hospitalization costs, and postoperative complications between the two groups. Results:After PSM, the postoperative complication rate was 37.3% ( n=66) in the total thyroidectomy group and 3.4% ( n=6) in the unilateral lobectomy group. The complication was mainly characterized by temporary hypoparathyroidism (HP) . Although the difference in length of hospitalization between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P=0.792) , patients in the unilateral lobectomy group used less surgical time ( P<0.001) , had lower hospitalization and surgical costs ( P<0.0001) , and took a relatively smaller dose of levothyroxine (L-T4) one month after the operation ( P<0.0001) , as compared with the total thyroidectomy group. Univariate analysis showed that the number of LLNM total lymph node metastasis (LNM) rate, LLNM rate, and T stage were significant risk factors for relapse. Multi-factor regression analysis indicated that T-staging was a risk factor for recurrence. After a median follow-up of 60 (3-138) months, 19 patients (10.7%) in the unilateral lobectomy group and 11 patients (6.2%) in the total thyroidectomy group recurred, with no statistical difference between the two groups ( P=0.133) . The OS curve displayed no significant difference between the unilateral lobectomy and total thyroidectomy groups ( P=0.740) . Conclusion:For unilateral PTC patients with ipsilateral LLNM without other high-risk features, unilateral lobectomy could be a better option.
