OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of MRI three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction model in quantifying glenoid bone defect by comparing with CT 3D reconstruction model measurement. METHODS: Forty patients with shoulder anterior dislocation who met the selection criteria between December 2021 and December 2022 were admitted as study participants. There were 34 males and 6 females with an average age of 24.8 years (range, 19-32 years). The injury caused by sports injury in 29 cases and collision injury in 6 cases, and 5 cases had no obvious inducement. The time from injury to admission ranged from 4 to 72 months (mean, 28.5 months). CT and MRI were performed on the patients' shoulder joints, and a semi-automatic segmentation of the images was done with 3D slicer software to construct a glenoid model. The length of the glenoid bone defect was measured on the models by 2 physicians. The intra-group correlation coefficient ( ICC) was used to evaluate the consistency between the 2 physicians, and Bland-Altman plots were constructed to evaluate the consistency between the 2 methods. RESULTS: The length of the glenoid bone defects measured on MRI 3D reconstruction model was (3.83±1.36) mm/4.00 (0.58, 6.13) mm for physician 1 and (3.91±1.20) mm/3.86 (1.39, 5.96) mm for physician 2. The length of the glenoid bone defects measured on CT 3D reconstruction model was (3.81±1.38) mm/3.80 (0.60, 6.02) mm for physician 1 and (3.99±1.19) mm/4.00 (1.68, 6.38) mm for physician 2. ICC and Bland-Altman plot analysis showed good consistency. The ICC between the 2 physicians based on MRI and CT 3D reconstruction model measurements were 0.73 [95% CI (0.54, 0.85)] and 0.80 [95% CI (0.65, 0.89)], respectively. The 95% CI of the difference between the two measurements of physicians 1 and 2 were (-0.46, 0.49) and (-0.68, 0.53), respectively. CONCLUSION The measurement of glenoid bone defect based on MRI 3D reconstruction model is consistent with that based on CT 3D reconstruction model. MRI can be used instead of CT to measure glenoid bone defects in clinic, and the soft tissue of shoulder joint can be observed comprehensively while reducing radiation.

Objective:To investigate the current smoking status and smoking abstinence self-efficacy of stroke smoking patients, to clarify the factors associated with the smoking abstinence self-efficacy in stroke patients, and to provide a theoretical basis for subsequent targeted interventions and guidance for smoking cessation.Methods:A total of 196 stroke patients admitted to the Neurology Department of Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from September to December in 2021 were surveyed adopted cross-sectional survey method by the General Information Questionnaire, the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, the Tobacco Hazard Perception Score, and the Smoking Abstinence Self Efficacy Scale. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors associated with patients' smoking abstinence self-efficacy.Results:The overall score of self-efficacy for smoking in stroke patients was (20.78 ± 6.47), and the scores of each dimension in descending order were habit/addiction, negative/emotional and positive/social situations. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that occupation, nicotine dependence score and cognition score of tobacco harm were the influencing factors of smoking abstinence self-efficacy, which could explain 37.4% variation of smoking abstinence self-efficacy.Conclusions:The self-efficacy level of smoking patients with stroke needs to be improved, and helping patients to improve their perception of tobacco harm and reduce their nicotine dependence can improve their self-efficacy level to increase the success rate of smoking cessation, thus reducing or even quitting the health risks caused by smoking behavior.

Objective:To explore the role of active screening in the diagnosis and treatment of early lung cancer, and give health management recommendations.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to collect lung cancer patients who had complete population sociology, clinical information, pathology and imaging characteristics in the Thoracic Surgery in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from 2016 to 2019. According to different diagnostic modes, they were divided into an active screening group (1082 cases) and a passive case finding group (974 cases), to analyze their differences in demographic sociological, clinical information, pathology and imaging characteristics, and to discuss the key points of population management in the active screening group.Results:From 2016 to 2019, the proportion of lung cancer patients in the active screening group increased from 36.1% to 54.2%, and the proportion of patients found to have lung cancer by CT examination in the active screening group increased from 82.2% to 96.8%. Compared with the passive case finding group, the active screening group had a higher proportion of women, non-smokers, patients with precursor glandular lesions and adenocarcinoma, patients in stage 0 and stage I, patients with lesion diameter (d)≤1 cm and 1

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hyperuricemia and hypertension in hospital employees.Methods:A cohort was constructed from staff participating health checkups at the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, baseline health examinations and questionnaires were conducted from February 1, 2011, to January 29, 2012; 502 participants were excluded according to the nadir criteria, and 3 525 participants were followed-up from February 1, 2012, to December 31, 2018, according to the results of annual employee checkups. The participants were divided into the normal uric acid (3 232 cases) and hyperuricemia groups (293 cases) according to the baseline examination results. The presence of hyperuricemia was used as an observation index and occurrence of hypertension within 7 years was used as an outcome indicator. Age, sex, body mass index, creatinine, LDL cholesterol, triacylglycerol, HDL cholesterol, fasting glucose, marriage, education, job position, smoking, alcohol consumption, and exercise status were used as confounding factors to construct five Cox regression models and calculate their HR values, adjusted HR values, and 95% CI to analyze the relationship between hyperuricemia and the occurrence of hypertension in the overall population and female and male populations. Results:The follow-up of the study participants was conducted for a period of (6.19±1.25) years, with a total of 21 831 person-years of follow-up. The 7-year cumulative prevalence of hypertension was 16.5% in the total population, 12.5% in the female population, 30.1% in the male population, 14.1% in the normal uric acid group, and 42.0% in the hyperuricemia group. The prevalence density of hypertension was 26.6, 19.6, 53.8, and 22.4 per 1 000 person-years in the total, female, male, and normouricemic groups, respectively. Without adjusting for any confounding variables, the risk of hypertension was higher in the total population, female population, and male population in the hyperuricemia group than in the normal uric acid group [ HR=3.86, 5.69, 1.60, (95% CI: 3.17-4.72, 4.36-7.43, 1.18-2.16)] (all P<0.05); after gradually adjusting for confounders, this correlation was only manifested in the female population [adjusted HR=1.91 (95% CI: 1.08-3.36)] (all P<0.05), and the difference was not statistically significant in the male population ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Among female hospital employees, hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for the development of hypertension.

Objective    To explore the value of artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic imaging system and three dimensional computed tomographic bronchoangiography (3D-CTBA) surgical planning system in the management of multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC). Methods    The clinical data of 53 patients with MPLC treated surgically in our hospital from January 2018 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 16 males and 37 females, with a median age of 60 (39-75) years. The patients' preoperative CT was analyzed by AI and manually, and the data of patients who underwent 3D-CTBA were compiled to evaluate the value of AI and 3D-CTBA in the diagnosis and treatment of MPLC, respectively. Results     The sensitivity of AI screening for MPLC was 84.91%. The sensitivity (91.90% vs. 83.78%) and accuracy (85.60% vs. 84.00%) of AI diagnosis of high-risk MPLC infiltrative lesions were better than those of manual diagnosis. 3D-CTBA was used for planning the surgery in 12 patients, and the intraoperative situation was generally consistent with the reconstructed results. Conclusion    AI is of high value in identifying infiltrative lesions of MPLC. 3D-CTBA reconstruction of anatomical structures is accurate and can guide preoperative planning.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum uric acid level and non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:A medical examination cohort of our hospital′s staff was constructed. From February 1, 2012 to January 29, 2013, a total of 3, 479 staff without NAFLD were selected as research subjects, and baseline data were collected through a questionnaire survey, physical examination, abdominal ultrasound examination, blood lipid, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, and other laboratory tests. From February 1, 2013 to December 31, 2018, the patients were followed up during the annual physical examination for six years. The serum uric acid level was used as the observation index and divided into four groups from A to D according to the quartile. With the occurrence of NAFLD as the outcome indicator; the four groups of uric acid as the observation indicator; and age, body mass index, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, creatinine, and alanine aminotrans ferase as confounding factors; four Cox regression analysis models were constructed to explore the relationship between groups of different blood uric acid levels and NAFLD. Stratified by gender, three Cox regression analysis models were constructed to investigate the relationship between blood uric acid level grouping and NAFLD between different genders.Results:The six-year cumulative incidence of NAFLD in groups A, B, C, and D was 1.2%, 3.1%, 4.9%, and 12%, respectively (χ 2=114.710, P<0.05). Among the female workers, the six-year cumulative incidence rates in groups A, B, C, and D were 1.0%, 2.9%, 4.1% and 10.9%, respectively (χ 2=71.241, P<0.05). The incidence risk of NAFLD in groups B, C, and D was 2.04 (1.01-4.11), 2.24 (1.13-4.44), and 3.89 (1.94-7.80) times that of group A, P<0.05, respectively. The incidence risk of NAFLD in groups B, C, and D was 2.21 (1.02-4.77), 2.39 (1.10-5.19), and 4.49 (1.99-10.15) times that of group A, all P<0.05, respectively. Conclusion:The risk of NAFLD increased with the increase of serum uric acid level, and this trend was mainly manifested in female employees.

Objeetive To explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome and benign prostatic hyperplasia in health management.Methods A total of 5 721 patients of prostate hyperplasia was collected and divided into two groups according to metabolic syndrome.The height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and arterial blood pressure were measured.The serum PSA, cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose, uric acid (UA) prostate specific antigen (PSA), and free prostate specific antigen (fPSA) were monitored.The volume of prostate was measured with ultrasound.The difference was analyzed between two groups of metabolic syndrome components and the volume of prostate.The correlation between various indicators of metabolic syndrome and prostate hyperplasia and prostate volume were analyzed.Health intervention was made to observe the changes of prostate volume and symptoms in the patients with metabolic syndrome for one year.Results BMI, TG, TC, BG, prostate volume, and serum PSA were higher in the patients with metabolic syndrome than in the control group.There was significant correlation between hyperlipidemia, benign prostatic hyperplasia and diagnosis of hypertension.Prostate volume was positively correlated with obesity, hypertension, high-density lipoprotein and metabolic syndrome.After health intervention, the indicators of metabolic syndrome decreased, and the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia were relieved.Conclusions Reduced obesity, hypertension, low highdensity lipoprotein and the metabolic syndrome and prostate volume were positively related.Metabolic syndrome and prostatic hyperplasia exists certain relationship.The metabolic syndrome health interventions will be necessary to manage the health of prostate hyperplasia, thus delays the occurrence and development of prostate hyperplasia disease.

Objective To investigate the differential diagnosis of Reye syndrome and the characteristics of primary carnitine deficiency,and to provide diagnostic strategy for similar cases.Methods There was a case presented with fever,poor response,convulsions and hepatomegaly hospitalized in Wuhan Children's Hospital,and the clinical manifestations were described,the physical examination was comprehensively conducted,the auxiliary examination results were recorded,some pediatric specialists from ICU,neurology department,genetic metabolic department,digestive system department were invited to discuss the case.The treatment was adjusted according to the suggested opinions;the treatment effects and the final diagnosis were tracked.Results The primary diagnosis of the case was central nervous system infection or toxic encephalopathy at the time of admission,but Reye syndrome could not be excluded.Although the cerebrospinal fluid test and brain MRI examination detected nothing abnormal,liver function suggested alanine aminotrans ferase ALT increase,blood sugar decrease,the liver volume increase,which was detected by liver ultrasound.Blood amino acids examination revealed the carnitine level decreased,and it was confirmed as primary carnitine deficiency in the end.L-carnitine was used to treat the disease,and its effect was good.Conclusions Great importance should be attached to children with onset age,physical check-up,and multidisciplinary cooperation.Use monism to explain the illness and the auxiliary inspection as far as possible,so that it can get early diagnosis and treatment,and the outcome is good.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to explore the expression of tumor-derived colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), its prognostic significance and underlying related mechanisms in resected lung adenocarcinoma (ADC).

METHODSImmunohistochemistry and tissue microarray were used to detect the expression of CSF1, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and CD68 in 266 patients with lung adenocarcinoma treated in our department between 2004 and 2008.

RESULTSIn the 266 ADC cases, the positive rates of expression of CSF1, EGFR and CD68 proteins were 56.4%, 42.1% and 81.2%, respectively. The expression level of CSF1 was positively correlated with TNM stage, number of involved nodal stations, tumor recurrence and EGFR expression (P<0.05). Univariate analysis indicated that TNM stage, number of involved lymph nodes, number of involved nodal stations, CSF1 expression, the combination of CSF1/EGFR and co-expression of CSF1/CD68/EGFR were statistically significant for prognosis (P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that TNM stage, co-expression of CSF1/EGFR and CSF1/CD68/EGFR were significant and independent risk factors for survival (P<0.05). Correlational analysis showed that expression of CSF1 and EGFR in the tumors was positively correlated to the degree of infiltration of interstitial tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) (respectively; P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe expression of CSF1 indicates a poor prognosis in postoperative lung adenocarcinoma. Co-expression of CSF1 and EGFR may be a valuable independent prognostic predictor, and its mechanism is probably involved in the interaction of cancer cells and TAMs in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma.
