OBJECTIVE:Anterior cervical decompression and fusion is a classic surgical method for the treatment of degenerative cervical spondylosis.The use of nail plates increases the fusion rate and stability and indirectly leads to adjacent vertebral degeneration and postoperative dysphagia.In this paper,the clinical results and complications of ROI-CTM self-locking system and traditional cage combined with screw-plate internal fixation in the treatment of degenerative cervical spondylosis were compared by meta-analysis to provide evidence-based support for the selection of internal fixation methods in anterior cervical decompression and fusion. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and Embase databases were searched for Chinese and English literature on the application of ROI-CTM self-locking system and fusion cage combined with screw plate internal fixation in the treatment of degenerative cervical spondylosis.The retrieval time range was from inception to July 2023.Two researchers selected the literature strictly according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The Cochrane bias risk tool was used to evaluate the quality of randomized controlled trials.Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the quality of cohort studies.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.Outcome indicators included operation time,intraoperative blood loss,Japanese Orthopaedic Association score,Neck Disability Index,C2-C7 Cobb angle,fusion rate,incidence of adjacent vertebral degeneration,cage subsidence rate,and incidence of dysphagia. RESULTS:Thirteen articles were included,including eleven retrospective cohort studies and two randomized controlled trials,with 1 136 patients,569 in the ROI-C group,and 567 in the cage combined with the nail plate group.Meta-analysis results showed that the operation time(MD=-15.52,95%CI:-18.62 to-12.42,P<0.000 01)and intraoperative blood loss(MD=-24.53,95%CI:-32.46 to-16.61,P<0.000 01)in the ROI-C group and the fusion device combined with nail plate group.Postoperative adjacent segment degeneration rate(RR=0.40,95%CI:0.27-0.60,P<0.000 01)and postoperative total dysphagia rate(RR=0.18,95%CI:0.13-0.26),P<0.000 01)were statistically different.The two groups had no significant difference in Japanese Orthopaedic Association score,Neck Disability Index,C2-C7 Cobb angle,fusion rate,or cage subsidence rate(P≥0.05). CONCLUSION:Applying an ROI-CTM self-locking system and traditional cage combined with plate internal fixation in anterior cervical decompression and fusion can achieve satisfactory clinical results in treating degenerative cervical spondylosis.The operation of the ROI-CTM self-locking system is more straightforward.Compared with a cage combined with plate internal fixation,the ROI-CTM self-locking system can significantly reduce the operation time and intraoperative blood loss and has obvious advantages in reducing the incidence of postoperative dysphagia and adjacent segment degeneration.The ROI-CTM self-locking system is recommended for patients with skip cervical spondylosis and adjacent vertebral disease.However,given its possible high settlement rate,using a fusion cage combined with screw-plate internal fixation is still recommended for patients with degenerative cervical spondylosis with multiple segments and high-risk factors of fusion cage settlement,such as osteoporosis and vertebral endplate damage.

Objective To explore the prediction efficiency of Ki-67 expression status in pituitary adenoma(PA)based on a joint model of siamese network and transfer learning.Methods The preoperative MR T1WI enhanced sequence images of 370 patients with PA diagnosed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively collected.According to the results of immunohistochemical,all patients were divided into high proliferation index group(Ki-67≥3,n=97)and low proliferation index group(Ki-67＜3,n=273),and all the sample data were randomly divided into training set and test set according to the ratio of 7∶3.Two single predictive models,ResNet-50 and VGGNet-16 and combined them with the siamese network and transfer learning were built.The prediction efficiency of different models were evaluated via accuracy rate,precision rate,recall rate,F1 score and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve as the main criteria.Results Compared with a single predictive model,the model combined with siamese network and transfer learning showed a better performance for predicting the Ki-67 of PA.Additionally,the ResNet-50 joint model exhibited the superior predictive performance.The accuracy rate was 0.872 7,the precision rate was 0.812 5,the recall rate was 0.764 7,the F1 score was 0.787 9,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.841 6.Conclusion The joint model based on siamese network and transfer learning exhibits a higher efficiency for predicting the Ki-67 expression status in PA,which can help the clinicians to formulate more personalized treatment for the patients.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatments of children with myocarditis,and to investigate the relation-ship between arrhythmia and prognosis.Methods A total of 244 patients diagnosed with myocarditis from January 2012 to December 2023 were included and retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into three groups:fulminant myocarditis(FMC),myocarditis(MC),and suspected myocarditis(SMC).The data included the clinical characteristics at disease onset,the treatment,and the relationship between different arrhythmias and the prognosis among the three groups.Results Among the 244 children with FMC/MC/SMC,132/244(54.1％)developed arrhythmia,ventricular arrhythmia was observed in 83/132(62.9％),and 86/105(81.9％)showed no persistent arrhythmia.The proportion of children in the FMC group who presented with palpitations,cardio-cerebral syndrome,cardiogenic shock,cardiac insufficiency,and death was significantly higher than that in the MC and SMC groups(P＜0.01).Five children with third-degree(Ⅲ°)atrioventricular block(AVB)recovered after controlling their ventricular rate without a temporary pacemaker.Conclusion Most children with FMC/MC/SMC have different types of arrhythmias,of which ventricular arrhythmias are the most common,and rarely persist.FMC has severe clinical symptoms and the highest mortality rate.Ventricular tachycardia usually occurs during the administration of vaso-active drugs in patients with Ⅲ ° AVB;if the ventricular rate can be controlled promptly,these patients have a good prognosis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between dual-energy computed tomography angiography(CTA)parameters of carotid plaques and acute stroke events.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of patients who underwent dual-energy head and neck CTA and brain MRI scans.Utilizing the Siemens workstation(Syngo.Via VB40B),region of interest(ROI)were placed on the thickest slice of the carotid plaque in the axial plane to obtain parameters such as fat fraction(FF),virtual non-contrast(VNC)value,iodine concentration(IC),electron density(Rho),effective atomic number(Zeff),dual energy index(DEI),spectral curve,and corresponding CT values at 40 keV(40 keVHU)and 90 keV(90 keVHU).The slope of the energy spectrum curve(λ)was calculated within the 40 keV-90 keV range.Patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)in the ipsilateral anterior circulation territory were classified into the ACI group,while those without were classified into the non-acute cerebral infarction(NACI)(NACI group).Qualitative data were analyzed using the x2 test,and quantitative data were analyzed using the t-test.The predictive performance was assessed using the area under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,and the differences between different ROC curves were compared using the DeLong test.Results A total of 72 patients were included,with 21 in the ACI group and 51 in the NACI group.The mean values of FF,Zeff,and 40 keVHU in the ACI group were greater than those in the NACI group.Statistically significant differences were observed between the groups for Zeff,DEI,40 keVHU,and λ(P＜0.05).40 keVHU demonstrated the highest predictive performance,and the AUC,sensitivity,and specificity was 0.789,81.0％,and 74.5％,respectively.A combined variable constructed through logistic regression analysis yielded an AUC,sensitivity,and specificity of 0.796,85.7％,and 70.6％,respectively,with no significant statistical differences compared to single factor variables.Conclusion Dual-energy CTA parameters of carotid plaques may aid in predicting intraplaque hemorrhage(IPH)and the occurrence of acute stroke events.

Objective To construct a clinical-radiological nomo-gram model for severe mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia coinfec-tion with other pathogens(Co-SMPP)in children.Methods The clinical and radiological data of children with severe mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(SMPP)who underwent nucleic acid testing or bronchoalveolar lavage(BAL)were analyzed retrospectively.The data analysis were performed by using SPSS 27.0 software.The group comparison between simple SMPP and Co-SMPP children was conducted by using t-tests,Mann-Whitney U tests,or chi-square tests.Nomogram analysis was performed by using R software and rms packages.The predictive performance of the model was evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results A total of 194 SMPP children were included in the study,including 136 cases(70.1％)with simple SMPP,58 cases(29.9％)with Co-SMPP.The fibrinogen and albumin levels were lower in Co-SMPP children[(3.53±0.85)g/L,41.00(39.03,43.68)g/L]than in simple SMPP children[(3.79±0.80)g/L,42.80(41.00,44.40)g/L],with P values of 0.047 and 0.036,respec-tively.The probability of bronchial stenosis and grid shadow were higher in Co-SMPP children than in simple SMPP children,and there were significant differences between the two groups(P＜0.001,P=0.010).The odds ratio of bronchial stenosis in predicting Co-SMPP children was 14.085.The clinical-radiological nomogram model had an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.840,with sensi-tivity and specificity of 0.756 and 0.848,respectively.Conclusion The nomogram model based on clinical-radiological features can effectively predict Co-SMPP.

Objective:To evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and photon volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in radiation therapy planning for patients with bilateral breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery.Methods:On the computed tomography localization images of 18 patients with bilateral breast cancer, target volumes and organs at risk were contoured to develop both IMPT and VMAT plans for each patient. Two IMPT plans were designed based on the clinical target volume (CTV) with robust optimization (RO-IMPT) and the planning target volume (PTV) without RO (NonRO-IMPT), respectively. The RO-IMPT, NonRO-IMPT, and VMAT plans were normalized such that the prescription dose could cover 95% of the target volume. The dosimetric parameters of target volumes and organs at risk were evaluated, and the dosimetric characteristics of the two techniques were compared.Results:In terms of target volumes, the RO-IMPT group showed significantly lower D1%, Dmean, and homogeneity index (HI) and a significantly higher D99% of the CTV than those of the PTV in the VMAT group ( t=-8.96, -8.21, -8.13, 4.96, P<0.05). The NonRO-IMPT group showed significantly lower D1%, Dmean, and HI and a significantly higher conformity index of the PTV than those of the PTV in the VMAT group ( t=-7.75, -6.25, -6.11, 7.53, P<0.05). In terms of organs at risk, the two IMPT groups showed significantly lower values than the VMAT group for the V5- V30 and Dmean of the whole lungs, V5- V40 and Dmean of the heart, D1% and Dmean of the left anterior descending coronary artery, D1% of the spinal cord, Dmean of normal tissues, and Dmean of the skin ( t= -28.47 to -3.25, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in any other evaluation indices ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both IMPT and VMAT can meet the clinical requirements of radiotherapy plans following breast-conserving surgery for bilateral breast cancer. IMPT has apparent advantages over VMAT in protecting organs at risk.

Objective:To analyze transcranial sonography（TCS）imaging characteristics of rats with 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride（6-OHDA）and explore the correlations between the imaging characteristics with motor deficits and pathological changes.Methods:Twenty-nine male SD rats were divided into 3 groups：8 in the no-treatment control（NC）group，10 in the Sham group and 11 in the 6-OHDA group. The model for Sham/Parkinson's disease（PD）was established by stereotacticly injecting saline/6-OHDA containing ascorbic acid to bilateral substantia nigra pars compacta（SNpc）. After three weeks，the models were stable. At the fourth week and seventh week，the behavioral testing was accomplished. The TCS examination was performed weekly at the same time for four weeks. At the eighth week，the rats were sacrificed for pathology.Results:①Behavioral testing：6-OHDA group showed asymmetric motor deficits and the difference was significant compared with the NC group and Sham group（both P<0.001）. ②TCS examination：compared with the NC and Sham group，there were asymmetric substantia nigra hyperechogenicity（SNH）in 6-OHDA group（both P<0.05）；meanwhile the area of SNH in the left was significantly larger in the right side（ P<0.05）.No significant change in SNH area was found during the continuous observation period of weeks 4-7. For 6-OHDA group，the area of SNH was negatively correlated with the number of forelimb wall-touches（ r=-0.825， P＜0.001）. ③Pathological examination：compared with NC group and sham group，the substantia nigra（SN）of 6-OHDA group showed a series of pathological events，including dopaminergic（DA）neurons asymmetrically decreasing，asymmetric ironion deposition and the number of active microglia increasing（all P＜0.05）. Correlation analysis showed that the area of SNH was negatively correlated with the number of DA neurons survivors（ r=-0.689， P=0.013），while the activation of microglial and the deposition of iron were positively correlated with the area of SNH（ r=0.915，0.735；all P＜0.001）. Conclusions:Asymmetric SNH of 6-OHDA PD rats is a representation of asymmetric motor deficits，and the mechanism is related to a catalogue of asymmetric pathological changes in SN，which comprise DA neurons decreasing，asymmetric iron ions deposition，microglial activating.

Objective:In order to reduce the trauma associated with fetal cardiopulmonary bypass(F-CPB), Our team plans to develop a minimally invasive F-CPB through a small incision in the right axilla. The efficacy of this technique will be verified by using a big experimental animal model, thereby laying the foundation for fetal cardiac surgery supported by F-CPB in the future.Methods:Ten pregnant sheep were divided into F-CPB group(n=5) and control group(n=5). After fasting for 24 h, fetal lambs in the F-CPB group underwent a right axillary incision to establish F-CPB running for 1 h; The control group of fetal lambs only expose heart 1 h without F-CPB. Collect blood sample for laboratory test at the CPB vehicle before(T0), 30 min(T1), and 1 h after F-CPB running(T2) for the F-CPB group and through Superior Vena Cava before(T0), 30 min(T1), and 1 h after F-CPB running(T2) for the control group.Results:The blood routine indicators such as RBC, HCT, and Hb in the F-CPB group of fetal lambs decreased significantly during F-CPB, and their distribution showed significant statistical differences compared with the control group( P<0.05). There were no significant statistical differences in blood gas indicators such as pH, PO 2, PCO 2, and lactate concentration between the F-CPB group and the control group( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the concentration of cTnI in fetal lamb serum at each time point( P>0.05). There were significant statistical differences( P<0.05) in the distribution of fetal lamb Alb, γ-GGT, CK concentration and cholesterol concentration at various time points in the F-CPB group compared with the control group in liver function examination. In addition, the distribution of BUN in fetal lambs showed a significant difference between the two groups( P=0.006). Conclusion:A minimally invasive F-CPB via small incision in the right axilla is safe and feasible. The experimental animal model has demonstrated that this technique has minimal impact on the vital organ functions and internal environment of fetal lambs, thereby laying the foundation for clinical fetal cardiac surgery in the future.

Objective To explore the risk factors of respiratory failure(RF)in patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia(KPN).Methods A total of 79 KPN patients admitted to Jilin Provincial People's Hospital from July 2023 to July 2024 were selected as subjects.Patients were divided into RF group(n=42)and non-RF group(n=37)based on RF comorbidity status.Independent risk factors for RF comorbidity were identified through univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression,with model predictive performance evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Compared to non-RF group,serum procalcitonin(PCT)levels were higher and serum albumin(ALB)and oxygenation index were lower in RF group(P＜0.05).Univariate analysis identified age,bedridden status,number of comorbidities,PCT,oxygenation index,ALB,multi-lobar infiltration,and mechanical ventilation as significant predictors of RF development in KPN patients.Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that elevated PCT levels,decreased oxygenation index,and reduced ALB were independent risk factors for RF in KPN patients,with area under the ROC curve of predictive model being 0.884.Conclusion When blood PCT is elevated,blood ALB is reduced,and the oxygenation index is decreased,the likelihood of RF in KPN patients is significantly increased.

Grounded in the Healthy China strategy,it employs integrated healthcare service theory,collaborative governance theory,and symbiosis theory to systematically analyze the conceptual connotation of medical-preventive integration within county-level medical communities and clarify its seven-dimensional framework of medical-preventive integration.These dimensions encompass resource integration,management integration,information integration,team integration,service integration,assessment integration,and cultural integration.The study delineates its three-phase dynamic evolution characterized by"interaction,coordination,and symbiosis"and outlines future development paths:constructing an intelligent integrated platform,delivering continuous services across the prevention-treatment-rehabilitation continuum,and fostering a multi-stakeholder collaborative governance framework.The findings provide both theoretical foundations and policy recommendations to support the high-quality development of medical-preventive integration in county-level medical communities.
