Objective:To explore the predictive factors for ureteral stone impaction preoperatively and to construct a nomogram prediction model for impacted ureteral stones.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 209 patients with ureteral stones treated at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2023 to June 2024. There were 164 males（78.5%）and 45 females（21.5%）. The age was 49（47，57）years，and the body mass index（BMI）was 25.10（23.55，27.24）kg/m2. Of the patients，85（40.7%）had comorbid hypertension and 85（40.7%）had comorbid diabetes. Stones were located on the left side in 124 patients（59.3%）and on the right side in 85 patients（40.7%）. Hydronephrosis was present in 169 patients（80.9%），and urine culture was positive in 29 patients（13.9%）. Patients were divided into impacted and non-impacted groups based on the presence or absence of ureteral stone impaction. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent predictive factors for impacted ureteral stones. A nomogram model was constructed based on these results. The performance of the predictive model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curves，calibration plots，and decision curve analysis（DCA）.Results:Among the 209 patients in this study，85（40.7%）experienced ureteral stone impaction. The impacted group had a significantly higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio（NLR）than the non-impacted group（3.91 ± 2.05 vs. 3.25 ± 2.10， P = 0.024），a higher rate of hydronephrosis［81.2%（69/85）vs. 80.6%（100/124）， P = 0.002］，larger stone surface area［（64.96 ± 39.96）mm2 vs.（51.86 ± 39.80）mm2， P = 0.021］，greater ureteral wall thickness（UWT）［（3.96 ± 1.37）mm vs.（3.06 ± 1.33）mm， P < 0.001］，and a higher ratio of the upper ureter diameter（D1）to the lower ureter diameter（D2）（DDR）（2.87 ± 1.58 vs. 2.00 ± 0.99， P < 0.001）. Univariate analysis showed that NLR，hydronephrosis，stone length，stone surface area，UWT，D1，D2，and DDR were statistically significant（ P < 0.05）. After multivariate logistic regression analysis，the following items were identified as independent predictors of impacted ureteral stones：NLR（ OR = 1.205，95% CI 1.026 - 1.415， P = 0.023），hydronephrosis（ OR = 1.840，95% CI 1.236 - 2.740， P = 0.003），stone length（ OR = 1.587，95% CI 1.142 - 2.206， P = 0.006），ureteral wall thickness（UWT）（ OR = 1.643，95% CI 1.263 - 2.136， P < 0.001），and DDR（ OR = 2.907，95% CI 1.040 - 8.130， P = 0.042）.Based on these independent predictive factors，a nomogram prediction model for impacted ureteral stones was constructed. The area under the ROC curve was 0.797（95% CI 0.737 - 0.858），and the calibration curve showed good consistency. The decision curve suggested that the model had good clinical net benefit. Conclusions:NLR，hydronephrosis，stone length，UWT，and DDR are all independent predictors for impacted ureteral stones. The nomogram model constructed based on these factors has good predictive performance.

Objective:To explore the independent factors influencing extraprostatic extension (EPE) after radical prostatectomy(RP) in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer by utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. A nomogram model was developed and externally validated.Methods:Clinical and pathological data of 20 916 clinically localized prostate cancer patients (T 1-2N 0M 0) who underwent RP between 2010 and 2021 were extracted from the SEER database. The mean age was (61.71±7.09) years old, and a total of 17 835 patients (85.3%) were married.There were 2 243 patients (10.7%) with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) <4 ng/ml, 14 831 patients (70.9%) with ≥4 and <10 ng/ml, and 2 965 patients (14.2%) with ≥10 and <20 ng/ml. There were 14 870 patients (71.1%) with clinical staging of stage T 1, and 6 046 patients (28.9%) with T 2. There were 48 patients (0.2%) with pathological staging of stage T 1, 15 794 (75.5%) with T 2, 5 001(23.9%) with T 3, and 73 (0.3%) with T 4 stage after radical surgery.The patients of SEER database were divided into training and internal validation groups in a 7∶3 ratio by using stratified sampling. Additionally, data were collected for 75 clinically localized prostate cancer patients who underwent RP at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2019 to September 2024, serving as the external validation group.The mean age was(65.39±7.45) years old. Among them, 73 (97.3%) were married. There were 2 patients (2.7%) with PSA <4 ng/ml, 17 patients (22.7%) with ≥4 and <10 ng/ml, and 34 patients (45.3%) with ≥10 and <20 ng/ml. There were 47 patients (62.7%) with clinical staging of stage T 1, and 28 patients (37.3%) with T 2. There were 7 patients (9.3%) with pathological staging of stage T 1, 48 patients (64.0%)with T 2, 18 patients (24.0%) with T 3, and 2 patients (2.7%) with T 4 stage after radical surgery. All patients were categorized into organ-confined (OC) and EPE groups based on post-surgical pathology. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, with a stepwise backward selection, were performed on the training group to identify independent risk factors of EPE, which were used to construct a nomogram model. Model performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve area under the curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) for the training group, internal validation group, and external validation group. Results:EPE was observed in 3 585 cases (24.5%), 1 489 cases (23.8%), and 20 cases (26.7%) in the training, internal validation, and external validation groups, respectively. Logistic regression analyses identified preoperative age ( OR=1.026, P<0.001), PSA levels (≥10 and <20 ng/ml: OR=1.790, P<0.001; ≥20 ng/ml: OR=2.683, P<0.001), tumor maximum diameter (10-20 mm: OR=2.051, P<0.001; >20 mm: OR=3.937, P<0.001), biopsy Gleason score (score 7: OR=1.911, P<0.001; score 8: OR=2.906, P<0.001; score 9: OR = 5.278, P<0.001; score 10: OR=4.421, P=0.003), number of positive biopsy cores (≥4 cores: OR=1.260, P<0.001), and their proportion of total cores ( OR=1.012, P<0.001) as independent predictors of EPE. The nomogram model demonstrated good predictive performance, with AUC of 0.741, 0.748, and 0.724 in the training, internal validation, and external validation groups, respectively. Calibration and DCA curves confirmed the model’s excellent stability and generalizability. Conclusions:Age, PSA levels, maximum tumor diameter, biopsy Gleason score, number of positive biopsy cores, and their proportion of total cores are independent predictors of EPE after RP in clinically localized prostate cancer. The constructed model effectively predicts the risk of EPE occurrence.

Objective:To explore the predictive factors for ureteral stone impaction preoperatively and to construct a nomogram prediction model for impacted ureteral stones.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 209 patients with ureteral stones treated at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2023 to June 2024. There were 164 males（78.5%）and 45 females（21.5%）. The age was 49（47，57）years，and the body mass index（BMI）was 25.10（23.55，27.24）kg/m2. Of the patients，85（40.7%）had comorbid hypertension and 85（40.7%）had comorbid diabetes. Stones were located on the left side in 124 patients（59.3%）and on the right side in 85 patients（40.7%）. Hydronephrosis was present in 169 patients（80.9%），and urine culture was positive in 29 patients（13.9%）. Patients were divided into impacted and non-impacted groups based on the presence or absence of ureteral stone impaction. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent predictive factors for impacted ureteral stones. A nomogram model was constructed based on these results. The performance of the predictive model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curves，calibration plots，and decision curve analysis（DCA）.Results:Among the 209 patients in this study，85（40.7%）experienced ureteral stone impaction. The impacted group had a significantly higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio（NLR）than the non-impacted group（3.91 ± 2.05 vs. 3.25 ± 2.10， P = 0.024），a higher rate of hydronephrosis［81.2%（69/85）vs. 80.6%（100/124）， P = 0.002］，larger stone surface area［（64.96 ± 39.96）mm2 vs.（51.86 ± 39.80）mm2， P = 0.021］，greater ureteral wall thickness（UWT）［（3.96 ± 1.37）mm vs.（3.06 ± 1.33）mm， P < 0.001］，and a higher ratio of the upper ureter diameter（D1）to the lower ureter diameter（D2）（DDR）（2.87 ± 1.58 vs. 2.00 ± 0.99， P < 0.001）. Univariate analysis showed that NLR，hydronephrosis，stone length，stone surface area，UWT，D1，D2，and DDR were statistically significant（ P < 0.05）. After multivariate logistic regression analysis，the following items were identified as independent predictors of impacted ureteral stones：NLR（ OR = 1.205，95% CI 1.026 - 1.415， P = 0.023），hydronephrosis（ OR = 1.840，95% CI 1.236 - 2.740， P = 0.003），stone length（ OR = 1.587，95% CI 1.142 - 2.206， P = 0.006），ureteral wall thickness（UWT）（ OR = 1.643，95% CI 1.263 - 2.136， P < 0.001），and DDR（ OR = 2.907，95% CI 1.040 - 8.130， P = 0.042）.Based on these independent predictive factors，a nomogram prediction model for impacted ureteral stones was constructed. The area under the ROC curve was 0.797（95% CI 0.737 - 0.858），and the calibration curve showed good consistency. The decision curve suggested that the model had good clinical net benefit. Conclusions:NLR，hydronephrosis，stone length，UWT，and DDR are all independent predictors for impacted ureteral stones. The nomogram model constructed based on these factors has good predictive performance.

Objective:To investigate the application value of combining Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS v2.1) score and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) in predicting pathological upgrading in patients with localized prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy(RP).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 76 patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent prostate biopsy and radical prostatectomy at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between September 2019 and May 2024. The median age was 68 (65, 71) years. Total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) was 17.4 (8.4, 30.9) ng/ml, and prostate volume was 43.1 (29.9, 58.9) ml. PI-RADS scores were ≤3 in 22 cases (28.9%) and >3 in 54 cases (71.1%). According to the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading of biopsy specimens, 31 patients (40.8%) were classified as Group <3 and 45 patients (59.2%) as Group ≥3. Postoperatively, 25 patients (32.9%) were classified as ISUP Group <3, and 51 patients (67.1%) as Group ≥3. Pathological upgrading was defined as either: ①a higher ISUP grade in postoperative specimens compared to biopsy specimens or; ②benign prostate tissue identified in biopsy specimens but confirmed as prostate cancer postoperatively. Clinical data were compared between the pathological upgrade and non-upgrade groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for pathological upgrading and to construct a nomogram model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive performance of individual indicators (PI-RADS, SII, %PSA, and the proportion of tumor tissue in biopsy specimens) and the combined nomogram model. Internal validation was conducted using cross-validation, and calibration and decision curves were generated to assess the nomogram′s accuracy and clinical net benefit.Results:Among the 76 patients included, 10 (13.2%) experienced pathological downgrading, 36 (47.4%) had consistent grading, and 30 (39.5%) experienced pathological upgrading. The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) [118.2(93.5, 139.1) vs. 95.2(79.3, 116.4), P=0.021], SII [394.8(331.0, 513.6) vs. 338.8(217.2, 407.8), P=0.002], and the number of cases with a PI-RADS score >3 [26 cases(86.7%) vs. 28 cases(60.9%), P=0.015] were significantly higher in the pathological upgrade group than in the non-upgrade group. Conversely, the percentage of positive biopsy cores [35.9%(12.6%, 51.8%) vs. 43.8%(21.0%, 92.1%), P=0.045], the proportion of tumor tissue in biopsy specimens [6.9%(1.3%, 20.1%) vs. 19.3%(9.1%, 58.4%), P<0.01], and the number of cases in ISUP biopsy Group ≥3 [12 cases (40.0%) vs. 33 cases (71.7%), P=0.006] were significantly lower in the upgrade group (all P < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that PI-RADS score( OR=17.111, 95% CI 2.388-122.592, P<0.01), SII( OR=1.009, 95% CI 1.001-1.016, P=0.028), %PSA ( OR=0.003, 95% CI 0.002-0.004, P<0.01), and the proportion of tumor tissue in biopsy specimens ( OR=0.899, 95% CI 0.837-0.966, P<0.01) were independent predictors of pathological upgrading. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for PI-RADS, SII, %PSA, and the proportion of tumor tissue in biopsy specimens were 0.607, 0.711, 0.618, and 0.778, respectively. The combined AUC for %PSA and the proportion of tumor tissue was 0.791, while the combined AUC of the four-indicator nomogram model was 0.914. The DeLong test indicated a statistically significant difference in diagnostic performance between the two models ( P<0.01). Calibration and decision curves demonstrated good accuracy and clinical net benefit for the nomogram model. Conclusions:The PI-RADS v2.1 score and SII have significant predictive value for pathological upgrading after radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer. A nomogram model combining PI-RADS, SII, %PSA, and the proportion of tumor tissue in biopsy specimens shows excellent predictive performance.

Methods 94 cases with craniocerebral trauma treated in the Department of Emergency of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Regionfrom February 2015 to November 2015 were retrospecively analysed .GCS ( Glasgow Coma Scale ) score, arterial blood lactate , blood pressureand heart rate were measured once patients admitted to hospital and 6 hours later ,arterial blood lactate was measured again to calculated the arterial blood lac-tate clearance rate .Based on the GCS score , we divided the patients into mild group (13-15), medium group (9-12) and severe group (3-8).We also divided the patients into death group and survival group according toprognosis .We compared arterial blood lactate and lactate clearance rate betweeeneach group respectively . Results There were significant differences in arterial blood lactate (F=19.99,P<0.01) and 6h lactate clearance rate(F=6.21,P<0.01)be-tween lighter group , medium group and severe group .The initial arterial blood lactate of death group was significantly higher than sur-vival group[(4.20 ±1.36)mmol/L vs (1.58 ±0.93)mmol/L], the difference was statistically significant (t=-9.78,P<0.01). The 6 h lactate clearance rate of death group was significantly lower than survival group [(31.73 ±12.84)%vs (46.25 ±12.01)%], the difference was statistically significant (t=4.55,P<0.01). Conclusion Arterial blood lactate and 6 h lactate clearance rate can evaluate the severity and prognosisof illnessin patients with craniocerebral traumaand have important application value in clinical work .
