Objective:To develop and evaluate a deep learning-based automatic measurement model for panoramic ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images.Methods:A diagnostic test study was conducted.Preoperative UBM examination results of 372 patients who underwent implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation were collected at the Eye Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University between February 2021 and March 2023.A total of 1 368 panoramic UBM images were obtained to establish an image database.The dataset was divided into a training set (760 images), a validation set (86 images) and an internal test set (522 images).An expert panel consisting of three ophthalmologists annotated the images.The UNet+ + network was used to automatically segment anterior segment tissues, such as the cornea, lens and iris.In addition, image processing techniques and geometric localization algorithms were developed to automatically identify the anatomical landmarks of pupil diameter (PD), anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle-to-angle distance (ATA) and sulcus-to-sulcus distance (STS) to complete the measurement of these parameters.Additionally, 480 panoramic UBM images of 135 patients (240 eyes) from Aier Eye Hospital of Wuhan University were used as an external test set to further evaluate the performance of the model in different centers.The consistency between the measurements from the model and expert panel, the Pentacam system was assessed.Finally, 150 images were randomly selected from the external test set for a human-machine comparison to further evaluate the model's performance.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (No.WDRY-2022-K109) and Aier eye Hospital of Wuhan University (No.2023IRBKY120903).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:In the internal test dataset and external test dataset, with manual labeling as the reference standard, the model achieved a mean Dice coefficient of not less than 0.882.At least 95.65% of the anatomical landmark localization results had Euclidean distance differences within 250 μm.The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the measurements of PD, ACD, angle-to-angle ATA, and STS were at least 0.958, with mean relative errors not exceeding 2.407%.With the Pentacam measurements as the reference standard, the ICCs for PD in the internal and external test sets were 0.540 and 0.466, respectively, while the ICCs for ACD were 0.946 and 0.908, respectively.In the human-machine comparison, the ICCs between the model's measurements and those of senior experts were all not lower than 0.969.Conclusions:The deep learning-based model can automatically measure anterior segment parameters from preoperative panoramic UBM images of patients undergoing ICL surgery.The model demonstrates a consistency comparable to that of senior experts, while providing higher efficiency.In terms of ACD measurement, the model shows good agreement between the measurements obtained from the model and Pentacam system.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of different intracranial pressure lower-ing regimens in patients with acute large-area cerebral infarction based on electrical impedance tomo-graphy(EIT)technology.Methods A total of 75 patients with acute large-area cerebral infarction were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into study group(n=40,using mannitol combined with albumin to decrease intracranial pressure)and control group(n=35,using mannitol alone to decrease intracranial pressure).EIT technology was used to continuously monitor the changes in intracranial pressure within 48 hours in the patients.Clinical data of the two groups were collected,and the 24-hour intracranial pressure change rate,48-hour intracranial pressure change rate,ICU stay duration,hospitalization duration,antibiotic use duration,and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score at discharge were observed and compared between the two groups.A 90-day sur-vival follow-up was also conducted.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the 24-hour intracranial pressure change rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).The 48-hour intracrani-al pressure change rate in the study group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The ICU stay duration,hospitalization duration,and antibiotic use duration in the study group were all shorter than those in the control group,and the NIHSS score at discharge in the study group was lower than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The follow-up results showed that the survival duration in the study group was longer than that in the control group,and the 90-day cumulative survival rate in the study group was higher than that in the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The modified Rankin Scale score in the study group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with the use of mannitol alone,early use of mannitol combined with albumin can effectively decrease the in-tracranial pressure within 48 hours,shorten the hospitalization duration,and improve neurological function in patients with acute large-area cerebral infarction.

Objective:To investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of falls among the elderly community population in Beijing.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using stratified multistage random sampling to select urban and rural residents aged 65 years and older in Beijing. Mortality data was collected after the baseline survey for 5 years. The incidence of falls was weighted based on the composition ratios of age and gender from the 2010 Nation-wide Population Census of Beijing. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the impacts of demographic sociology of common chronic diseases on fall occurrence. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the fall and 5-year survival association.Results:A total of 2 968 participants completed the questionnaire, at cross-sectional survey, with an average age of (73.2±6.0) years, and 1 581 (53.8%) participants were female. Three hundred and sixty-one individuals experienced a fall within the past year. Among those who fell, 64 (17.7%) fell twice, and 95 (26.6%) fell three or more times. Of them, 14.4% (52) had post-fall fractures, with the wrist, knee, and hip being the most common fracture sites, accounting for 25.0%, 17.3%, and 15.4%, respectively. The weighted fall incidence was 12.4% (95% CI: 11.2%-13.5%). Aging, being female, and living in rural areas were more likely to fall. Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, and urban-rural status, the risk of falls for those living alone ( OR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.08-2.04) or living with children/grandchildren ( OR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.15-1.97) were significantly higher than those living with their spouse. In addition, the risk of falls was elevated significantly among the elderly with hypertension, diabetes, stroke, dementia, depression status, urinary incontinence, arthritis, insomnia, vision, and hearing loss, dependence on activities of daily living (ADL), general and poor self-rated health (SRH). The Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that the 5-year risk of death increased by 65% ( HR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.29-2.11) for those who experienced a fall, which increased with fall frequency. This elevated risk persisted after adjusting for chronic conditions, ADL, and SRH. Conclusions:Ageing, female, living in rural regions, having common chronic diseases, dependence on ADL, general and poor SRH, living alone or living with children/grandchildren were associated with the elevated fall risk. The occurrence of fall was seasonal. The most common short-term adverse consequence after a fall was fractures, while the long-term effect was an increased risk of death.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of transnasal endoscopic clipping of the paraclival internal carotid artery (ICA) in skull base surgery.Methods:The paraclival ICA was anatomically dissected in cadaveric head specimens. The clinical data of 15 patients with skull base lesions involving the ICA who admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 4 patients underwent transnasal endoscopic clipping of the paraclival ICA and concurrent lesion resection. The surgical methods were summarized, and the key points and indications of this technique were analyzed.Results:Intraoperative clipping of the ICA was successful and hemostatic in all 4 patients. Postoperatively, 3 patients had no complications, while 1 patient developed delayed ischemic cerebral infarction. Two patients were cured, 1 patient was maintained on immunotherapy, and 1 patient died. During follow-up, the clip was in situ in 1 patient, had detached in another, and was obscured by temporal muscle coverage in the remaining 2 patients.Conclusions:Transnasal endoscopic clipping of the paraclival ICA represents a potential option for managing the ICA in skull base surgery. However, it carries significant risks and limitations, mandating careful patient selection based on specific circumstances.

Objective: To analyze the status and correlation between screen time, screen behavior type, and anxiety, depression among children and adolescents in Jiangxi Province, so as to provide a basis for effective intervention measures. Methods: Using the method of stratified random sampling, 8 851 primary and secondary school students in 11 districts of Jiangxi Province were investigated by questionnaire during September to December in 2020. Anxiety and depression status were investigated using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children(CES-DC), respectively. Single factor analysis using χ 2-test, t-test,analysis of variance,and multivariate analysis using generalized linear models. Results: On school days and weekends, 4.7% and 20.4% of primary and secondary school students in Jiangxi Province had a total screen time of over 2 hours per day, respectively. The weighted scores of the total screen time (primary school students: 1.88± 0.68, junior middle school students: 1.96±0.71, high school students: 2.03±0.80) and time spent for playing video games (primary school students: 1.51±0.64, junior middle school students: 1.62±0.69, high school students: 1.68±0.75) daily showed an upward trend with the increase of educational stage ( F =31.48, 42.13), and with significantly higher in boys (1.97±0.74, 1.66± 0.72) than girls (1.93±0.72, 1.53±0.66)( t =2.48, 9.07)( P <0.05). The average scores of state anxiety and trait anxiety were (42.20±9.05) and (40.65±9.85), which showed an upward trend with the increase of educational stage ( F =168.12, 241.98 ), and were higher in girls than boys ( t =6.63, 8.48)( P <0.01). The average score of depression was (11.99±11.00), which was lower in elementary school students than middle school students and high school students ( F =136.42), with significantly higher in girls ( t =6.85)( P <0.01). On school days, with the increase of total screen time and time spent for playing video games daily, the risk of state anxiety, trait anxiety, and depression among primary and secondary school students significantly increased ( OR = 6.70- 818.98, P <0.01). On weekends, among primary and secondary school students, the total screen time of >1-2 hours daily reduced the risk of state anxiety ( OR =0.30). The risk of developing trait anxiety among students playing video games for more than 2 hours daily was 2.50 times higher than those without screen behavior ( OR =2.50). The risk of developing depression with a total screen time of more than 2 hours daily was 3.15 times higher those whithout screen behavior ( OR =3.15). The risk of developing depression among students playing video games >0-1, >1-2, >2 h daily was 2.14, 2.50, 4.90 times that of those without screen behaviors ( OR =2.14, 2.50, 4.90), and showed an upward trend with the increase of educational stage ( P <0.05). Conclusions Screen behaviors of primary and middle school students in Jiangxi Province are positively associated with the risk of anxiety and depression, but the total daily video time of >1-2 h on weekends was negatively associated with state anxiety. It is necessary to control the screen time as much as possible and reduce the risk of anxiety and depression.
