OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the effects of supplementation with different doses of vitamin D on maternal and infant outcomes in vitamin D-deficient pregnant women. METHODS Related literature on the effects of supplementing different doses of vitamin D on maternal and infant outcomes was searched in databases including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Medline, the Cochrane Library, Embase from their inception to June 30, 2025. The risk of bias assessment tool from the Cochrane Handbook 5.1 was used to evaluate the quality of included literature. Meta-analysis of outcome indicators was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 15 studies were included, involving 4 664 patients [2 129 in the experimental group (daily dose >2 000 IU), 2 058 in control group 1 (daily dose ≤1 000 IU) and 477 in control group 2 (daily dose >1 000-≤2 000 IU) ] . Meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of preeclampsia (PE) [OR=0.71, 95%CI (0.53, 0.96), P =0.03 ] , gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) [OR=0.60, 95%CI (0.43, 0.84), P =0.003 ] , low birth weight of newborn [OR=0.72, 95%CI (0.53, 0.97), P =0.03 ] and macrosomia [OR=0.53, 95%CI (0.29, 0.98), P =0.04 ] in the experimental group were significant lower than control group 1; but there was no significant difference in the incidence of premature delivery [OR=0.86, 95%CI (0.65, 1.13), P =0.28 ] , cesarean delivery [OR=0.92, 95%CI (0.74, 1.15), P =0.48 ] or stillbirth rate [OR=0.77, 95%CI (0.48, 1.24), P =0.29 ] . The incidence of low birth weight of ne wborn [OR=0.64, 95%CI (0.41, 0.98), P =0.04 ] in the experimental group was significant lower than control group 2; but there was no significant difference in the incidence of PE [OR=0.61, 95%CI (0.25, 1.49), P =0.28 ] , the incidence of GDM [OR=0.73, 95%CI (0.42, 1.24), P =0.24 ] , premature delivery rate [OR=0.90, 95%CI (0.59, 1.39), P =0.63 ] , cesarean delivery rate [OR=0.92, 95%CI (0.64, 1.33), P =0.66 ] , or stillbirth rate [OR=0.68, 95%CI (0.24, 1.94), P =0.48 ] . CONCLUSIONS Different doses of vitamin D supplementation in early pregnancy have a significant impact on maternal and infant pregnancy outcomes in vitamin D-deficient pregnant women; daily doses >2 000 IU have significant advantages in reducing the incidence of PE and GDM and improving the outcome of premature delivery.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of different daily doses of aspirin in the prevention of preeclampsia (PE). METHODS The case-control studies and prospective randomized controlled trials on aspirin with daily dose ≥ 100 mg (trial group) vs. <100 mg (control group) in the prevention of PE were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, China Biomedical Literatue Database and Wanfang Data from base-building to January 2025. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 11 literatures were included, involving 3 052 pregnant women. Meta-analysis showed the incidence of PE [RR=0.63, 95%CI (0.53,0.76), P<0.000 01], gestational hypertension [RR=0.69, 95%CI (0.50,0.94),P=0.02], preterm birth [RR=0.56, 95%CI (0.47,0.66), P<0.000 01], and intrauterine growth retardation [RR=0.73,95%CI (0.61,0.87),P=0.000 5] in trial groups were significantly lower than control group. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage between the two groups had no statistically significant difference [RR=1.17, 95%CI (0.90,1.53),P=0.25]. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of PE in Chinese pregnant women taking 150 mg of aspirin was significantly higher than taking 100 mg of aspirin [RR=3.40, 95%CI (1.29, 8.93), P=0.01]; but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, preterm birth (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Aspirin with daily dose ≥100 mg is more effective in preventing PE than daily dose <100 mg, with lower rates of gestational hypertension, preterm birth, and intrauterine growth retardation. It does not increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. For pregnant women in China, daily dose 100 mg of aspirin may be more effective in preventing PE than 150 mg.

Objective:To investigate the value of a deep learning radiomics (DLR) nomogram model based on intra-tumoral and peri-tumoral MRI features for differentiating IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) from orbital mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.Methods:This was a case-control study. The clinical and imaging data of 233 patients pathologically confirmed with either IgG4-ROD or orbital MALT lymphoma were retrospective collected between January 2020 and December 2024 from the Second Hospital of Jilin University (Center 1) and Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University (Center 2). Patients from Center 1 ( n=158) were used as the training cohort, while those from Center 2 ( n=75) served as the validation cohort. Among the cases, 102 were IgG4-ROD (70 in training, 32 in validation) and 131 were orbital MALT lymphoma (88 in training, 43 in validation). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent clinical imaging predictors and build a clinical imaging model. Based on T 1WI, T 2WI, and diffusion weighted images, intra-tumoral regions were manually delineated, a 2 mm peri-tumoral margin was automatically generated, and both regions were combined as a single region of interest for radiomics feature extraction. Deep learning features were extracted using a ResNet-50 backbone, and after feature selection and dimensionality reduction, a DLR model was constructed. The clinical imaging features and DLR features were integrated to build a combined nomogram model. Model performance in differentiating IgG4-ROD from orbital MALT lymphoma was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) were compared using the DeLong test. Results:Bilateral orbital involvement ( OR=1.983, 95% CI 1.166-2.843, P=0.046) and extraocular muscle involvement ( OR=1.246, 95% CI 1.079-1.764, P=0.015) were identified as independent predictors for distinguishing IgG4-ROD from orbital MALT lymphoma and were used to construct the clinical model. Fourteen features (9 radiomics and 5 deep learning features) were selected for the DLR model, and a nomogram was developed. In the training set, the AUCs for the clinical model, DLR model, and nomogram were 0.762 (95% CI 0.712-0.812), 0.865 (95% CI 0.822-0.908), and 0.943 (95% CI 0.909-0.953), respectively. In the validation set, the AUCs were 0.733 (95% CI 0.675-0.791), 0.823 (95% CI 0.762-0.884), and 0.924 (95% CI 0.902-0.958), respectively. The nomogram showed significantly higher AUCs than those of the clinical and DLR models alone (training set: Z=3.92, 2.87, P0.001, P=0.004; validation set: Z=3.25, 2.46, P=0.001, 0.014). Calibration curves indicated good agreement between predicted and actual IgG4-ROD incidence, and decision curve analysis demonstrated the highest net benefit for the nomogram. Conclusion:A nomogram that incorporates both intra-tumoral and peri-tumoral DLR features and clinical imaging characteristics demonstrates excellent performance in distinguishing IgG4-ROD from orbital MALT lymphoma.

Objective:To develop and validate a clinical warning model for severe pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) using electronic health records.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, analyzing clinical data of 15 750 children hospitalized for CAP at Wuhan Children′s Hospital between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2023. Patient data were randomly split into training and testing sets at a 7∶3 ratio. Six supervised machine learning models were constructed in the training set, optimized using five-fold cross-validation, and evaluated in the testing set. Model performance was assessed using ROC-AUC, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, calibration curves, and clinical decision curve analysis at optimal thresholds. The best-performing model was selected, and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were used to interpret feature importance. A program interface was developed based on the model results, enabling integration into clinical decision support systems for automated early warning.Results:A total of 15 750 participants, ranging in age from 28 days to 18 years, were included in the study. The median age was 2 years [interquartile range (IQR): 0-4 years], with 9 555 males (60.67%) and 6 195 females (39.33%). Among them, 2 211 (14.04%) developed severe pneumonia. In the prediction models, XGB outperformed other models with an ROC-AUC of 0.884 (95% CI: 0.870-0.898), sensitivity (0.803, 95% CI: 0.772-0.832), specificity (0.828, 95% CI: 0.816-0.839). Calibration analysis showed strong agreement between predicted and observed risks (Brier score: 0.081, 95% CI: 0.075-0.086). The analysis based on the SHAP method revealed that respiratory rate, heart rate, T-lymphocyte subsets, and red blood cell volume distribution width-SD are predictive factors for severe progression of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children. Conclusion:An interpretable machine learning model was developed for the early detection and personalized treatment planning of severe CAP in children, providing valuable support to clinicians.

We have isolated an intestinal probiotic strain, Pediococcus acidilactici HRQ-1. To improve its gastrointestinal fluid tolerance, transportation and storage stability, and slow-release properties, we employed the extrusion method to prepare the microcapsules with P. acidilactici HRQ-1 as the core material and sodium alginate and chitosan as the wall material. The optimal conditions for preparing the microcapsules were determined by single factor and orthogonal tests, and the optimal ratio was determined by taking the embedding rate, survival rate, storage stability, gastrointestinal fluid tolerance, and release rate as the evaluation indexes. The results showed that under the optimal embedding conditions, the embedding rate reached (89.60±0.02)%. Under the optimal formula of freeze-drying protective agent, the freeze-drying survival rate reached (76.42±0.13)%, and the average size of the microcapsules produced was (1.16±0.03) mm. The continuous gastrointestinal fluid simulation experiments confirmed that the microcapsules ensured the viable bacterial count and can slowly release bacteria in the intestinal fluid. The curve of the viable bacterial count during storage at 4 ℃ and room temperature indicated that the prepared microcapsules achieved strains' live number protection. The formula and preparation process of P. acidilactici microcapsules may provide a technological reserve for the preparation of more live bacterial drugs in the future.
