[Objective] To compare the diagnostic accuracy of three imaging modalities, inlducing CT urography (CTU), contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the qualitative diagnosis of renal space-occupying lesions. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 542 patients with renal lesions confirmed by surgical pathology in our hospital during Jan.2019 and May 2024.The diagnostic results of CTU, CE-MRI and CEUS were compared and analyzed based on the patients' clinical and pathological data. [Results] The diagnostic accuracy rate of CTU, CE-MRI and CEUS were 84.50%, 83.14% and 86.14%, respectively.For the 161 patients who underwent all three examinations, CEUS was significantly more accurate than CTU (84.16% vs. 77.02%, P=0.018), while there was no significant difference between CTU or CEUS and CE-MRI (79.81%) (P>0.05). Further analysis found that for lesions ≤4 cm, the accuracy of the three examinations was as follows: CEUS=CTU 79.55%, CE-MRI 76.14%, with no significant difference (P>0.05). However, for lesions >4 cm, CEUS ranked the first, followed by CE-MRI and CTU (89.73% vs. 84.25% vs. 73.97%), and CEUS and CE-MRI were better than CTU (P<0.05). Additionally, for the diagnosis of clear cell renal carcinoma and benign renal space-occupying lesions, there was no statistically significant difference among the three imaging modalities (P>0.05), while for the qualitative diagnosis of non-clear cell renal carcinoma, CEUS ranked the first, followed by CE-MRI and CTU (83.87% vs. 74.19% vs. 56.45%), and CE-MRI and CEUS were better than CTU (P<0.05). [Conclusion] All of them have important diagnostic value, and the appropriate selection should be based on patients' specifc conditions.CEUS and CE-MRI are more accurate in the qualitative diagnosis of renal space-occupying lesions than CTU, especially for large lesions and non-clear cell carcinoma.

Objective:To optimize the smart follow-up workflow for day-case breast surgery patients using an action research approach and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:A total of 648 post-discharge patients who underwent day-case breast surgery at the Day Surgery Unit of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between February and May 2024 were selected by convenience sampling. Patients who received routine smart follow-up (automated+telephone) from February to March 2024 served as the baseline group. Patients enrolled in April 2024 ( n=218) and May 2024 ( n=202) formed the first and second cycle groups, respectively, in which the smart follow-up workflow was optimized iteratively using action research. Outcome indicators included automated recovery rate and total recovery rate of follow-up forms, as well as the incidence of postoperative discomfort symptoms. Results:The automated and total recovery rates of follow-up forms in the first and second cycle groups were significantly higher than those in the baseline group, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01). The proportion of patients experiencing persistent chest distress was significantly lower in the first and second cycle groups compared to the baseline group, and further reduced in the second cycle group compared to the first, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01). Pain levels in the first and second cycle groups were also significantly lower than those in the baseline group, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Optimizing the smart follow-up workflow for day-case breast surgery patients based on an action research approach can significantly improve the automated and overall recovery rates of follow-up forms, reduce postoperative discomfort, and enhance both the efficiency and quality of follow-up care.

Objective:To study the correlation between myopia growth and physical development of primary school student in Shihezi area of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region by measuring the ocular biometry and physical parameters of the eye, and to provide an objective basis for the development of myopia prevention and control.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was used. The Grade 1-6 students from 33 schools in Shihezi area were randomly selected in October 2023. The children were classified according to age into the low age group (6-9 years) and the high age group (10-13 years).The children′s height, weight, axial length (AL), maximum keratometry (steepest keratometry, K1), and minimum keratometry (flattest keratometry, K1) were measured. The body mass index (BMI), keratometric astigmatism (ΔK), mean keratometry (K), corneal radius (CR) and AL/CR were calculated. Correlation analyses were performed between ocular biometry and physical parameters. LASSO regression analysis was used to screen the best variables, and linear regression models were constructed after adjusting for confounding factors of age and sex.Results:A total of 3 986 children aged 6-13 years were included in this study, including 2 094 boys (52.53%) and 1 892 girls (47.47%); 2 162 in the lower age group and 1 824 in the upper age group. Girls had higher K, ΔK and AL/CR values than boys (43.38 D vs 42.7 D, t=-7.84, P<0.01; 1.1 D vs 1.01 D, t=-2.14, P=0.03; 2.97 vs 2.96, t=3.32, P=0.02). Boys had higher AL, height, weight and BMI than girls (23.47 mm vs 23.02 mm, t=13.77, P<0.01; 1.34 m vs 1.33 m, t=3.02, P=0.03; 32 kg vs 29.5 kg, t=7.82, P<0.01; 17.4 vs 16.52, t=10.36, P<0.01). LASSO regression was used to screen the 3 physical parameter variables (height, weight, and BMI) to determine that height was the best physical parameter variable for AL/CR. After adjusting for confounders, it was shown that in the low age group (6-9 years), there was a significant positive correlation between children′s height and AL/CR ( b=0.174, 95% CI: 0.106 to 0.241, P<0.001), whereas in the high age group (10-13 years), there was no correlation between children′s height and AL/CR ( b=0.086, 95% CI:-0.038 to 0.21, P=0.174). Conclusion:There was a positive correlation between height and myopia growth in the lower age group of children in Shihezi area, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region; there was no correlation between height and myopia growth in the higher age group.
