Objective To establish a differential model of phlegm and blood stasis pattern and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern in stable angina pectoris using radiomics.Methods A total of 91 patients with stable angina pectoris who underwent coronary artery CT angiography in Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to January 2022 were collected,including 47 cases of phlegm and blood stasis pattern and 44 cases of qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern.The patients were divided into train set(64 cases)and test set(27 cases)according to the ratio of 7∶3 by stratified random sampling method.3D-slicer software was used to extract the radiomics features of pericoronary adipose tissue(PCAT)images.Principal component analysis was used to visualize the distribution of radiomics features of pattern of phlegm and blood stasis and pattern of qi deficiency and blood stasis.The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis and support vector machine decreasing feature elimination were used for feature selection.The multinomial logistics regression was used for model construction.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to verify the model in the train set and the test set to evaluate the effectiveness of the radiomics features in differentiating phlegm and blood stasis pattern and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern.Finally,Spearman coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the differential features and clinical physicochemical data.Results A total of 837 radiomics features were extracted from PCAT images by 3D-slicer software.In the principal component analysis,PC1 and PC2 explained 77.9%and 8.1%of the total variance,respectively,and there was a relatively obvious separation trend between the two pattern groups.After feature screening,7 radiomics features were used to construct the differential model of phlegm and blood stasis pattern and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of the differential model was 0.844 in the train set and 0.834 in the test set.Spearman correlation analysis showed that the differential features were significantly correlated with cTnI,neutrophil,triglyceride,total cholesterol,and leukocyte.Conclusion The CT radiomics model based on PCAT has a high discrimination efficiency for stable angina pectoris with phlegm and blood stasis pattern and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern.

Journal of Sun Yat-sen University(Medical Sciences) 2024;45(3):344-353
Alzheimer's disease(AD)is the most common form of senile dementia,and its pathogenesis is still un-clear.While β-amyloid(Aβ)is considered an important cause of AD,the pathological mechanism of Aβ inducing AD is subject to various controversies.Recent studies have shown that the myeloid cell trigger receptor(TREM2)plays an impor-tant role in the pathological process of AD,and it can not only serve as an important receptor for the internalization of Aβ but also become a biological diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target.Hence,elucidating the structure and function of TREM2 will provide important ideas for the prevention and treatment of AD.This article will provide a systematic review of the structure of TREM2,its impact on microglial cell function,its pathological role in AD,and the current status of target-ed TREM2 therapy for AD.These summaries will provide valuable references for basic research on AD.

Objective:To conduct an overview of systematic reviews on the safety and effectiveness of early mobilization in stroke patients.Methods:Systematic reviews of early mobilization in stroke were electronically searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, Chinese Biology Medicine, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, and the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database. The search period was from database establishment to May 2023. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and methodological quality evaluation of the included literature, as well as evidence summary and grading.Results:A total of 10 systematic reviews were included. The methodological quality evaluation showed that one article was of medium quality, two articles were of low quality, and seven articles were of extremely low quality. The evidence quality evaluation indicated that there were three pieces of high-quality evidence, 17 pieces of medium-quality evidence, 21 pieces of low-quality evidence, and 17 pieces of extremely low-quality evidence.Conclusions:Early mobilization is beneficial for improving the daily living ability and limb motor function of stroke patients, reducing the incidence of complications, shortening hospital stay, and enhancing their walking ability in the short term. However, the quality of evidence in the systematic review is relatively low, and further improvement is needed in the research design of early mobilization intervention measures to provide strong support for clinical practice.

Objective:To compare the clinical value of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) localization and stereotactic positioning biopsy of breast lesions.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Totally of 250 patients who underwent breast biopsy at Shenzhen People′s Hospital, Luohu District People′s Hospital and Peking University Shenzhen Hospital between August 2021 to October 2023 was analyzed retrospectively, including 136 cases of DBT-guided biopsy (DBT-guided group) and 114 cases of stereotactic-guided biopsy (stereotactic-guided group). The stereotactic-guided biopsy methods included core needle biopsy (CNB) and wire positioning. The DBT-guided biopsy methods included CNB, wire positioning and vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB). The χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the puncture success rate, operation time, localization time, puncture time, number of first valid localization phases obtained, number of exposures, and complications of different biopsy methods between 2 groups. Results:In the wire positioning biopy, the puncture success rate was 100% (33/33) in DBT-guided group and 96% (48/50) in the stereotactic-guided group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.515). Compared to the stereotactic-guided group, the operation time and localization time were shorter, and the number of first valid localization phases obtained, number of exposures were fewer in the DBT-guided group( P<0.05). The incidence of complications was lower in both the DBT-guided group and the stereotactic-guided group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.871). In CNB, both the DBT-guided group and the stereotactic-guided group had higher puncture success rates, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.080). Compared to the stereotactic-guided group, the operation time, localization time and puncture time were shorter, and the number of first valid localization phases obtained, number of exposures were lower in the DBT-guided group, and the difference between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications was lower in both the DBT-guided group and the stereotactic-guided group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.627). Twenty-one cases received DBT-guided VABB, with an operation time of (19.90±3.38) min, a localization time of 6.00 (6.00, 7.00) min, a puncture time of (13.42±3.28) min, the number of first effective localization phases obtained was 1.00 (1.00, 1.00) time, the number of exposures was 4.00 (3.50, 5.00) times, and one case experienced severe pain after puncture. Conclusion:Compared with stereotactic-guided biopsy, DBT-guided biopsy can reduce operation time and exposure times, and can target more types of breast lesions, with higher clinical application value.

Objective:To explore whether acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis and alcoholic pancreatitis are related to the incidence of pancreatic cancer in Mendelian randomization study.Methods:Using data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of European ancestry, the pancreatic cancer data in the UK population is obtained from the GWAS. Acute, chronic, and alcoholic pancreatitis data in the Finnish population is obtained from the Finnish database version R10. The correlation between acute, chro-nic pancreatitis, alcoholic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer was analyzed by two-sample Mendelian randomization through five Mendelian analysis methods mainly based on inverse variance weighting. Q heterogeneity test, pleiotropy test and reverse test were carried out to ensure the robustness of the results.Results:Chronic pancreatitis was positively associated with pancreatic cancer ( OR=1.332, 95% CI: 1.044-1.698, P=0.021). The results of Q heterogeneity test, pleiotropy test and reverse Mendelian randomization showed that the conclusions were reliability, all P>0.05. While acute pancreatitis ( P=0.953), acute alcoholic pancreatitis ( P=0.862) and chronic alcoholic pancreatitis ( P=0.682) were not significantly associated with pancreatic cancer. Conclusion:This study further confirmed the strong correlation between chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer at the genetic level.
