Objective:To compare the cardiac size,morphology,and function between anemic and normal fetuses using a hybrid artificial intelligence(AI)model,and to evaluate the utility of AI in quantitatively assessing fetal cardiac function in cases of anemia.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted by collecting data from 2018 to 2024 at the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University,including 15 cases of anemic fetuses(anemia group)diagnosed through umbilical venous puncture and 32 cases of normal fetuses(control group). Four-chamber fetal cardiac ultrasound videos and left/right ventricular segments were included,with 44 videos and 1 056 segments in the anemia group,and 46 videos and 1 104 segments in the control group. Based on dynamic four-chamber heart images,the hybrid AI model was employed to extract heart measurement parameters,including basal-apical length(BAL),transverse width(TW),global sphericity index(GSI),end-diastolic area(EDA),24-segment left and right ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD,RVEDD),segmental sphericity index(LVSI,RVSI),global longitudinal strain(LVGLS,RVGLS),fractional area change(LVFAC,RVFAC),segmental fractional shortening(LVFS,RVFS),along with their corresponding Z-scores. The differences in cardiac size,morphology,and function parameters between the two groups were compared. Pearson correlation analysis was performed for the parameters of the control group(BAL,TW,EDA,GLS,LVGLS,RVGLS,LVFAC,and RVFAC)against gestational age. The measurement consistencies of AI technology and fetal HQ technology in normal and anemia groups were evaluated.Results:No significant differences were found in BAL,TW,EDA,or GSI between groups(all P>0.05). RVEDD in segments 3-24 was significantly larger in the anemia group(all P<0.05),with significantly higher Z-score abnormality rates for LVEDD and RVEDD across 24 segments(both P<0.001). LVSI in segments 7-10,12,14-15 and RVSI in segments 1-23 were lower in the anemia group(all P<0.05),with significantly higher Z-score abnormality rates for LVSI and RVSI across 24 segments(both P<0.001). The absolute values of LVGLS and LVFAC were significantly reduced in the anemia group(both P<0.05),while the absolute values of RVGLS and RVFAC showed no significant differences(both P>0.05). Segmental LVFS values were significantly lower in the anemia group for segments 2,5-8,11-13(all P<0.05). In the control group,BAL,TW,and EDA positively correlated with gestational age( r=0.913,0.947,0.907;all P<0.001),while GSI,LVGLS,RVGLS,LVFAC and RVFAC showed no or weak correlations( r=-0.221,0.353,0.515,-0.409,-0.425). The intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)between AI-based and conventional fetal HQ evaluations were 0.788 for the control group and 0.837 for the anemia group,indicating good consistency. Conclusions:AI offers a reliable approach for quantitatively evaluating fetal cardiac size,shape,and systolic function. Fetal anemia primarily affects right ventricular morphology and left ventricular systolic performance,characterized by spherical remodeling of the right ventricle and reductions in LVGLS,LVFAC,and segmental LVFS. The hybrid AI model holds potential value in fetal cardiac function assessment.

Objective:To study the cardiac morphology and function of fetuses with different types of complete transposition of the great arteries(cTGA)by using fetal heart quantification(fetal HQ).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 50 fetuses diagnosed with cTGA through fetal echocardiography at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2020 to December 2024. These cases were categorized into simple cTGA group( n=31)and complex cTGA group( n=19)based on the presence of concomitant cardiac anomalies. A control group of 160 normal fetuses with matched gestational ages was selected for comparison. Utilizing fetal HQ technology,the cardiac longitudinal diameter,transverse diameter,area,global sphericity index(GSI),left and right ventricular end-diastolic area(LVEDA,RVEDA),left and right ventricular fractional area change(LVFAC,RVFAC),left and right ventricular global longitudinal strain(LVGLS,RVGLS),and segmental sphericity index of 24 segments for both left and right ventricles(LVSI,RVSI)were measured. The analysis focused on comparing the differences among the simple cTGA group,complex cTGA group,and the control group. Results:Compared to the control group,the simple cTGA group exhibited significantly lower fetal GSI,LVEDA,RVFAC,and RVGLS(all P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in LVSI segments 1-4 and 10-17,as well as RVSI segments 1-7,9,and 15-23 compared to the control group(all P<0.05). In comparison with the control group,the complex cTGA group demonstrated significantly reduced fetal GSI,LVFAC,LVGLS,RVFAC,and RVGLS(all P<0.05). Significant differences were noted in LVSI segments 5-8 and 10-14,along with RVSI segments 1-14 and 24 compared to the control group(all P<0.05). When compared to the simple cTGA group,the complex cTGA group showed significantly lower LVFAC,LVGLS,RVFAC,and RVGLS(all P<0.05),while GSI and LVEDA were significantly higher(all P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in LVSI segments 3-4,6-8,and 17,as well as RVSI segments 10-19 between the complex cTGA group and the simple cTGA group(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The comprehensive parameters provided by Fetal HQ facilitate the assessment of cardiac morphology and function in cTGA fetuses,enabling a deeper understanding of the alterations in cardiac structure and function across different types of cTGA. This advanced analysis offers valuable reference information for clinical guidance during pregnancy.

Objective:To analyze the incidence, mortality, survival patterns, and distribution characteristics of modifiable risk factors for colorectal cancer in selected global regions.Methods:Secondary analysis was conducted using data from the GLOBOCAN database and previous literature. We described the number of cases and age-standardized rates (ASRs) of incidence and mortality for colorectal cancer in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and globally in 2022 and 2020, with gender-stratified analysis. ASRs were calculated using Segi's world standard population. Temporal trends in 5-year net survival rates were compared across three periods (2000-2004, 2005-2009, 2010-2014) among countries. Regional distribution differences in colorectal cancer deaths attributable to modifiable risk factors by gender were assessed in China.Results:In 2022, global colorectal cancer incidence and mortality were estimated at 1.926 million new cases and 904 000 deaths. China accounted for 27% of both global incidence (517 000 cases) and mortality (240 000 deaths). China's age-standardized incidence rate (20.1 per 100 000) was lower than those of the United States (27.0 per 100 000) and the UK (30.9 per 100 000). However, China's mortality rate (8.6 per 100 000) exceeded that of the US (7.9 per 100 000) but was lower than the UK (11.8 per 100 000). Compared to 2020, China demonstrated significant mortality reductions in 2022: males declined from 14.8 to 10.9 per 100 000, females from 9.4 to 6.5 per 100 000. Five-year net survival rates in China improved across periods for colon cancer (51.4%, 55.6%, 57.6%) and rectal cancer (49.5%, 52.5%, 56.9%), yet remained consistently lower than US and UK rates. Modifiable risk factors contributed to 45.1% of male and 41.4% of female colorectal cancer deaths in China, with marked regional disparities.Conclusions:China exhibits higher colorectal cancer incidence and mortality than global averages, with survival gaps persisting compared to developed nations. Regionally tailored comprehensive prevention strategies are essential to reduce disease burden through risk factor modification and optimized clinical management.
