ObjectiveTo develop and validate a nomogram based on the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score for predicting the risk of severe perioperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 163 hepatolithiasis patients who underwent hepatectomy. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for severe perioperative complications. A nomogram prediction model was constructed and its performance was evaluated. ResultsAmong the 163 patients, 66 and 97 were classified into the low-grade and high-grade ALBI groups, respectively. Significant intergroup differences were observed in gender, total bilirubin, albumin levels, and the incidence of severe complications (P0.05). Severe complications occurred in 40 patients. Independent risk factors included age 60 years (OR=5.49, P0.001), high-grade ALBI (OR=8.30, P0.001), history of biliary surgery (OR=2.60, P=0.035), hepatectomy (segmentectomy)≥3 (OR=2.75, P=0.028), and open surgical approach (OR=4.00, P=0.009). A nomogram for predicting severe perioperative complications was successfully established. Internal validation showed that the model had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.865, which outperformed traditional single predictors. The calibration curve closely aligned with the ideal curve, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.027. Decision curve analysis (DCA) demonstrated a net clinical benefit when the threshold probability exceeded 10%, superior to that of traditional predictors. ConclusionThe ALBI score-based nomogram is successfully developed and validated to predict the risk of severe perioperative complications in hepatolithiasis patients undergoing hepatectomy. The model demonstrated favorable predictive performance and high clinical utility, serving as an effective tool for both preoperative risk assessment and postoperative risk stratification.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

China emerges as a major country in nuclear energy development and the application of nuclear and radiologic technology. The diagnosis and treatment of acute radiation syndrom (ARS) caused by external irradiation represent a core function in the country′s medical rescue of nuclear and radiological emergencies. Clinically, ARS manifests hematopoietic, gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and central nervous system syndromes, with specific clinical manifestations, signs, severity, and prognosis strongly correlated with radiation dose. China has established a number of national and provincial centers for treating radiation-induced damage. Nevertheless, most medical staff have limited experience in ARS treatment. This consensus presents a summary of recent experience in treating ARS of China. In combination with recommendations from international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), this consensus proposes key evidence of critical clinical issues of ARS, covering all links in the rescue of external irradiation-induced ARS. Initially, clinical diagnosis, syndromes, and severe degrees should be determined based on clinical symptoms and dose estimates. It is necessary to normalize clinical treatment measures for hematopoietic recovery, gastrointestinal injury treatment, infection control, symptomatic treatment, and multi-organ function preservation. To this end, this consensus offers cautions. This consensus provides principles of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, psychological intervention, and follow-up. Additionally, it highlights multidisciplinary collaboration. It is recommended that this consensus be applied in relevant treatment centers.

Objective:To evaluate the repeatability of anterior segment biometry measurements obtained using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and the ArcScan Insight 100, and to compare the agreement between the two devices.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Seventy myopic patients (70 eyes) who underwent V4c implantable collamer lens implantation at Henan Eye Hospital from March to May 2023 were included.The ArcScan Insight 100 and UBM were used to measure the following parameters three times: angle-to-angle distance (ATA), sulcus-to-sulcus distance (STS), anterior chamber depth (ACD), crystalline lens rise (CLR), anterior chamber width (ACW), ciliary body inner diameter (CBID), anterior chamber angle (ACA), trabecular-ciliary angle (TCA) and maximum ciliary body thickness (CBTmax). The repeatability of anterior segment biological measurements obtained using the two devices was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The consistency between the two instruments was evaluated by Bland-Altman consistency test.This study complied with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECKY-2021[13]). All patients understood the purpose and significance of this study and signed the informed consent form.Results:The repeatability of ATA, STS, ACD, CLR, ACW, CBID, ACA, TCA and CBTmax measured by UBM and ArcScan Insight 100 was good (all ICC>0.9). There was no significant difference in ACD, ACW, and ACA between the two instruments ( t=0.696, -1.025, -1.447; all P>0.05). ATA, STS, CLR and CBID measured by UBM were lower and TCA and CBTmax were higher than those measured by UBM ArcScan Insight 100, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-8.586, -12.551, -4.481, -4.420, 4.535, 7.812; all P<0.05). The differences of ATA, STS, ACD, CLR, ACW, CBID and CBTmax between UBM and ArcScan Insight 100 were 0.38, 0.47, -0.01, 0.07, 0.3, 0.26 and -0.21 mm, respectively, with the 95% limits of agreement (LoA) of (-0.34, 1.10), (-0.15, 1.09), (-0.28, 0.26), (-0.20, 0.35), (-0.33, 0.93), (-0.71, 1.23) and (-0.64, 0.23)mm, respectively, which showed good coherence.The differences in ACA and TCA measurements were 2.26° and -7.81°, respectively, and the 95%LoA values were (-23.36°, 27.89°) and (-36.05°, 20.43°), respectively, with poor coherence.There was a strong positive correlation in ACD measurements measured by UBM and ArcScan Insight 100 ( r=0.827, P<0.05). There were moderate positive correlations in ATA, STS, CLR, ACW and CBID ( r=0.678, 0.749, 0.617, 0.765, 0.519; all P<0.05). There was no significant correlation in ACA, TCA and CBTmax ( r=0.270, 0.032, 0.178; all P>0.05). Conclusions:The repeatability of ArcScan Insight 100 and UBM in measuring anterior segment biological parameters is good.However, the consistency of ACA, TCA and CBTmax measured by the two instruments is poor and may be affected by self-regulation of the body.ATA, STS, ACD, CLR, ACW and CBID have good consistency and can be used interchangeably.

Objective:To develop PixelSIFT-UNet, a novel semantic segmentation model that integrates deep learning with scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm to improve the segmentation accuracy of oral mucosal lesions.Methods:This investigation utilized 838 standard clinical white light images of oral mucosal diseases acquired from January 2020 to December 2022 at the Stomatology Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Randomization was achieved through Python′s random.seed function implementation. The random sample function was subsequently applied for sampling distribution. The dataset was stratified into three subsets with a 6∶2∶2 ratio: training ( n=506), validation ( n=166), and testing ( n=166). Lesion boundaries were annotated using Labelme software, and a PixelSIFT-UNet-based deep learning model was developed with VGG-16 and ResNet-50 backbone networks. Model parameters were optimized using the validation set, and performance metrics [including Dice coefficient, mean intersection over union (mIoU), mean pixel accuracy (mPA), and Precision] were assessed on the test set. The model′s performance was benchmarked against conventional semantic segmentation frameworks (U-Net and PSPNet). Results:The developed PixelSIFT-UNet model could achieve precise segmentation of three common oral mucosal lesions: oral lichen planus, oral leukoplakia, and oral submucous fibrosis. Utilizing VGG-16 as the backbone network, the model achieved Dice coefficient, mIoU, mPA, and Precision values of 0.642, 0.699, 0.836, and 0.792, respectively. Implementation with ResNet-50 backbone network yielded metrics of 0.668, 0.733, 0.872 and 0.817, demonstrating significant improvements across all performance indicators compared to conventional U-Net model (relevant metrics: 0.662, 0.717, 0.861 and 0.809) and PSPNet model (relevant metrics: 0.671, 0.721, 0.858 and 0.813).Conclusions:The proposed PixelSIFT-UNet architecture demonstrates superior performance in oral mucosal lesion segmentation tasks, surpassing conventional semantic segmentation models and providing robust quantitative improvements in segmentation accuracy.
