Objective:To analyze the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT combined with MRI in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and early stage invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Methods:From September 2019 to December 2023, 12 patients with DCIS (all females; age 36-67 years) and 34 patients with early stage IDC (all females; age 36-73 years) in Qingdao Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The general clinical information, MRI features, and 18F-FDG PET/CT features of patients were analyzed. χ2 test, Fisher exact test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. The independent predictors of DCIS were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The value of different indicators in diagnosing DCIS was analyzed using ROC curves analysis, and Delong test was used to assess the differences among AUCs. Results:The differences in tumor metabolic volume (MTV; 18.55(10.90, 76.30) vs 4.00(2.00, 11.45)cm 3) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG; 44.85(25.30, 125.30) vs 9.40(6.68, 22.35)g) of breast lesion, enhancement pattern (non-mass enhancement (NME); 8/12 vs 29.4%(10/34)), lobulation sign (0/12 vs 58.8%(20/34)), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC; 1.33 (1.16, 1.63)×10 -3vs 1.08 (0.75, 1.28)×10 -3mm 2/s) between DCIS and early stage IDC groups were statistically significant ( Z values: from -3.91 to -2.56, χ2=5.17, all P<0.05). When differentiating DCIS from early stage IDC, NME (odds ratio ( OR)=36.50, 95% CI: 2.15-618.52, P=0.013), ADC ( OR=7.85, 95% CI: 1.11-55.46, P=0.044), and TLG ( OR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.02-1.11, P=0.007) were independent predictors. The AUC of the three predictors combination was 0.941, which was higher than those of single predictors ( Z values: 2.00-2.80, P values: 0.005-0.046). Conclusion:The combination of 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI improves the efficacy of differential diagnosis between DCIS and early stage IDC, thereby providing a basis for developing personalized treatment plans for patients.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the changes in the proportion of refined lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with Graves disease (GD), and their correlation with the clinical characteristics and efficacy of GD, and to explore the immunological pathogenesis of Graves disease for seeking new therapeutic targets.Methods:A total of 97 newly diagnosed GD patients (GD group), 27 patients after treatment (treatment group), and 31 healthy individuals (control group) who visited the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from 2018 to 2021 were included in this study. The data of refined lymphocyte subsets, thyroid function, blood routine and clinical treatment of the three groups were compared and analyzed. The t-test and rank sum test were used to compare the proportions of lymphocyte subsets among different groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the proportions of lymphocyte subsets and thyroid function indicators.Results:The proportion of B cells in GD group was higher than that in the control group [16.2%(11.8%, 21.8%) vs 10.2%(8.1%,13.6%)], while the proportion of natural killer (NK) cells was lower [9.4%(4.9%, 13.6%) vs 14.6%(12.1%,18.8%)], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Abnormal T cell differentiation: the proportions of functional cells, including activated T cells, memory T cells, clustering antigen(CD)4+memory T cells, Th1 cells, and Tc1 cells, were lower than that in the control group [3.2%(2.1%, 5.7%) vs 5.8%(3.0%, 9.3%), P<0.05; 36.7% (29.9%, 48.1%) vs 48.0%(39.2%,57.7%), P<0.05; 23.1%(17.4%, 30.1%) vs 28.9%(23.3%,34.6%), P<0.05; 16.4% (11.8%, 23.6%) vs 24.3%(16.9%,28.5%), P<0.05; 28.5% (14.7%, 39.2%) vs 46.3%(21.6%,69.2%), P<0.05]. The proportion of activated T cells in the treatment group was higher than that in the GD group [6.5% (4.6%, 13.6%) vs 3.2% (2.1%, 5.7%), P<0.05]. The total triiodothyronine results showed positive correlations with B cells ( r=0.356, P<0.01) and negative correlations with NK cells ( r=?0.416, P<0.01), while the total thyroxine values showed negative correlations with NK cells and activated T cells ( r=?0.318,?0.335; P<0.01). Thyroid stimulating hormone and CD8+initial T cells were positively correlated ( r=0.382, P<0.01). The proportion of B cells, cytotoxic T cells and suppressor T cells in CD8+cells of patients with complications [such as Graves orbitopathy (GO), thyroid toxic cardiomyopathy, etc.] was significantly different from that of the simple GD patients [18.3% (14.1%, 27.1%) vs 14.6% (10.8%, 21.4%), Z=2.54, P<0.05; 73.4%(65.6%,83.6%)vs 65.0%(50.3%,79.3%), Z=2.93, P<0.05; 26.6%(16.4%, 37.5%)vs 35.0%(20.7%,49.7%), Z=?2.74, P<0.05]. The proportion of suppressor T cells in GO patients was lower than that in non-GO patients [6.1% (3.4%, 8.1%) vs 8.5% (4.9%, 13.6%), Z=?3.20 P<0.05]. Conclusion:There are significant alterations in the circulating immune cells of GD patients, suggesting that immunological abnormalities play a crucial role in the onset and progression of the disease.

Objective:To explore the predictive efficacy of the HFA-ICOS score for cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in Chinese patients with breast cancer and lymphoma.Methods:This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study which included patients with breast cancer and lymphoma who were treated with anthracyclines from February 2018 to February 2025 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University. Patients were evaluated at baseline with cardiac biomarkers and echocardiography, including left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain of the left ventricle. After anthracycline therapy, they were followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Data involved biomarkers and echocardiography were collected to determine whether CTRCD had occurred. The patients were categorized into low-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk, and very-high-risk groups using the HFA-ICOS scoring model. The cumulative probability of CTRCD under different HFA-ICOS risk stratification was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The effect of HFA-ICOS risk stratification on CTRCD was assessed using an univariate Cox proportional hazards regression model. The predictive efficacy of the HFA-ICOS model and its utility in clinical decision-making were assessed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curves at each time point.Results:A total of 286 patients, aged 55 (44, 61) years, were enrolled, of whom 33 (11.5%) cases were male. And 113 (39.5%) patients developed CTRCD during a median follow-up time of 111 (70, 210) days. HFA-ICOS risk stratification showed that 228 (79.7%) were low-risk, 49 (17.1%) were intermediate-risk, and a total of 9 (3.1%) were high-risk and very high-risk. The difference in the occurrence of CTRCD over time between patients with different HFA-ICOS risk stratification was statistically significant ( Plog-rank<0.001). Cox proportional regression hazards analysis showed an increased risk of CTRCD development in intermediate-risk ( HR=1.95, 95% CI 1.22-3.00, P=0.006) and high-risk and very high-risk patients ( HR=4.12, 95% CI 1.66-8.54, P=0.004) compared with low-risk patients. The ROC curves showed that the area under the curve of the HFA-ICOS model predicting CTRCD was 0.532, 0.597, 0.600 and 0.577 at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. The calibration curves indicated Brier scores of 0.041 (95% CI 0.013-0.067), 0.144 (95% CI 0.115-0.173), 0.232 (95% CI 0.215-0.249) and 0.236 (95% CI 0.220-0.251) at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, correspondingly. The clinical decision curve suggested that clinical intervention may have a net benefit when the risk threshold is between 0.15 and 0.18 at 1 month, between 0.10 and 0.50 at 3 months, and between 0.30 and 0.70 at 6 and 12 months. Conclusion:The HFA-ICOS score could predict the occurrence of CTRCD in patients with breast cancer and lymphoma treated with anthracycline drugs, although its predictive efficacy is limited, and the prediction model requires further validation in a larger population.

Objective To analyze influencing factors of small airway dysfunction(SAD)in children with bronchial asthma,and construct a risk prediction model for SAD.Methods A total of 221 bronchial asthma children with normal pulmonary ventilation function were retrospectively selected as the modeling group.According to the presence of SAD,children were divided into the SAD group(43 cases)and the non-SAD group(178 cases).The related factors affecting the occurrence of SAD were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and risk prediction model of SAD was constructed.In addition,74 bronchial asthma children with normal pulmonary ventilation function were collected and used as the validation group.Hosmer-Lemeshow test was adopted to evaluate the calibration of the model.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn and area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the prediction model.Results Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that poor asthma control(OR=10.722,95%CI:4.044-28.428),allergic rhinitis in the attack stage(OR=4.816,95%CI:1.929-12.023)and long use of inhaled corticosteroids(ICS)or ICS/long-acting β2 receptor agonist(LABA,OR=2.903,95%CI:1.269-6.643)were independent risk factors for SAD in children(P<0.05),and older age at first onset of suspected asthma symptoms(OR=0.599,95%CI:0.395-0.907)was a protective factor.Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration(χ2=8.301,P=0.307).The AUC,sensitivity and specificity of the model in the modeling group for predicting the occurrence of SAD in children with bronchial asthma were 0.820(95%CI:0.749-0.892),74.42%and 78.65%,and the AUC,sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the model in the validation group were 0.849(95%CI:0.718-0.981),75.00%,94.83%and 90.54%(67/74).Conclusion Children with bronchial asthma who are younger at the time of their first suspected asthma symptoms,poor asthma control,allergic rhinitis in the exacerbation phase,and longer duration of use of ICS or ICS+LABA/LTRA are at higher risk of SAD.Therefore,SAD risk prediction model constructed on this basis has good predictive ability.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of illness acceptance between self-compassion and rehabilitation motivation in stroke patients with partial disability.Methods:By convenience sampling method, stroke patients who attended the neurology outpatient clinic of Xinxiang Central Hospital from February to December 2024 were selected as the research subjects. The General Information Questionnaire, Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Chinese version of Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS-CHI), and Stroke Rehabilitation Motivation Scale (SRMS) were used for the survey. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to analyze the relationships among self-compassion, illness acceptance, and rehabilitation motivation. AMOS 21.0 software was used to establish a structural equation model and verify the mediating effect.Results:A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, and 289 valid ones were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 96.33%. Among the 289 stroke patients with partial disability, the total score of SCS was (65.73±5.50), the total score of AIS-CHI was (17.46±5.62), and the total score of SRMS was (77.18±10.97). Pairwise positive correlations were found between self-compassion, illness acceptance, and rehabilitation motivation (all P<0.05). Self-compassion had a direct positive effect on rehabilitation motivation ( β=0.328, P<0.01) and a direct positive effect on illness acceptance ( β=0.439, P<0.01). Illness acceptance played a partial mediating role between self-compassion and rehabilitation motivation, and the mediating effect accounted for 31.38% of the total effect (0.150/0.478) . Conclusions:The levels of self-compassion, illness acceptance, and rehabilitation motivation in stroke patients with partial disability need to be further improved. Illness acceptance exerts a partial mediating effect between self-compassion and rehabilitation motivation. Clinically, the rehabilitation motivation of patients can be enhanced by improving their levels of self-compassion and illness acceptance.
