Objective:To investigate the value of habitat radiomic features based on gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced MRI in establishing a predictive model for cytokeratin 19 (CK19) expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to evaluate its role in prognostic risk stratification.Methods:This multicenter case-control study retrospectively enrolled 489 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI between June 2016 and June 2024. Among them, 346 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were divided into a training cohort ( n=245) and an internal test cohort ( n=101) via stratified sampling at a 7∶3 ratio. And 143 patients from Nantong Third Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University served as an external validation cohort. The training cohort included 53 CK19-positive and 192 CK19-negative patients. The internal test cohort included 21 CK19-positive and 80 CK19-negative patients. The external validation cohort included 30 CK19-positive and 113 CK19-negative patients. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify potential factors associated with CK19 expression, and a clinical-radiologic model was constructed. The k-means clustering algorithm was applied to segment target HCC lesions into 3 subregions. Radiomic features were extracted and selected from these habitat subregions. Habitat radiomics models were constructed for the arterial phase (AP), portal venous phase, hepatobiliary phase (HBP), and combined phases (CP). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified independent clinical and radiologic predictors of CK19 expression, and the optimal habitat model score was integrated to build a clinical-radiologic-habitat combined model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate model predictive performance. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the differences in survival curves were compared with the log-rank test. Results:Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) ( OR=2.629, 95% CI 1.412-4.896, P=0.002), AP enhancement ( OR=3.636, 95% CI 1.642-8.052, P=0.001), AP peritumoral enhancement ( OR=2.219, 95% CI 1.084-4.542, P=0.029), and HBP peritumoral hypointensity ( OR=2.010, 95% CI 1.004-4.021, P=0.049) were potential factors associated with CK19 expression, which were incorporated into the clinical-radiologic model. In the internal and external validation cohorts, the AUC of the clinical-radiologic model was 0.690 (95% CI 0.590-0.778) and 0.650 (95% CI 0.565-0.727), respectively. The habitat radiomics model based on CP images demonstrated the highest performance. It achieved AUC of 0.729 (95% CI 0.622-0.836) and 0.725 (95% CI 0.607-0.842) in the internal and external validation cohorts, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified AFP ( OR=2.494, 95% CI 1.163-5.348, P=0.019), AP enhancement ( OR=5.230, 95% CI 1.868-14.643, P=0.002) and habitat radiomics model score ( OR=4.105, 95% CI 2.643-6.368, P<0.001) as independent predictors of CK19 positivity. Based on these factors, a combined clinical-radiologic-habitat combined model was established. The clinical-radiologic-habitat combined model achieved AUCs of 0.767 (95% CI 0.671-0.846) and 0.730 (95% CI 0.649-0.801) in the internal and external validation cohorts, respectively. Significant differences in RFS were observed between the CK19-positive group (25.1 month) and CK19-negative group (51.0 month) as predicted by the clinical-radiologic-habitat model ( χ2=4.17, P=0.041). Conclusion:The clinical-radiologic-habitat combined model based on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI habitat radiomics demonstrates good predictive performance for CK19 expression in HCC and offers valuable prognostic stratification for clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the value of the deep learning model based on gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhanced MRI in preoperatively predicting vessels completely encapsulating tumor clusters (VETC) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:This study adopted a case-control design to retrospectively analyze 420 patients with HCC confirmed by postoperative pathology who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI between June 2016 and March 2023. A total of 420 patients were divided into a training set ( n=305) from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and an external validation set ( n=115) from Affiliated Nantong Hospital 3 of Nantong University. Based on postoperative pathological findings, patients were stratified into VETC-positive and VETC-negative groups. The training set comprised 161 VETC-positive cases and 144 VETC-negative cases, while the external validation set included 55 VETC-positive cases and 60 VETC-negative cases. Tumor regions of interest in arterial, portal venous, and hepatobiliary phases were manually delineated using ITK-SNAP software. Pre-trained Vgg19, Densenet121, and Vision Transformer (ViT) models were employed for transfer learning, extracting deep learning features from each image. Feature data were processed using FAE software, and 12 logistic regression models (arterial phase, portal venous phase, hepatobiliary phase, and combined three-phase models) were constructed to select the optimal deep learning model. Independent predictors in clinical characteristics were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic analyses to establish a clinical model for predicting VETC pattern. Subsequently, a clinical-deep learning fusion model was developed by integrating these clinical predictors with the optimal deep learning features. Model performance in predicting VETC-positive HCC was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:In the external validation set, the area under the curve (AUC) of the Vgg19 model in the arterial phase, portal venous phase, hepatobiliary phase, and combined three-phase, respectively were 0.799,0.756,0.789,0.821, which were higher than those of Densenet121 (AUC: 0.544,0.581,0.544,0.583) and ViT (AUC: 0.740,0.752,0.785,0.767) model. The three-phase combined Vgg19 model achieved the highest AUC of 0.821 (95% CI 0.746-0.897). Multivariate logistic regression identified alpha-fetoprotein level ( OR=1.826,95% CI 1.069-3.120, P=0.028) and tumor diameter ( OR=1.329,95% CI 1.206-1.466, P<0.001) as independent predictors of VETC-positive HCC, forming the clinical model with an AUC of 0.789 (95% CI 0.703-0.859). The clinical-deep learning fusion model further achieved the AUC of 0.825 (95% CI 0.749-0.900). Calibration curves confirmed high concordance between predicted and actual probabilities for the three-phase Vgg19 model, while DCA revealed greater net clinical benefit for the combined Vgg19 and fusion models compared with the clinical model alone. Conclusions:The deep learning model based on Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI can be used to predict VETC of HCC preoperatively, among which the three-phase combined Vgg19 model and the clinical-deep learning model provide high predictive value.

Objective To explore the possible mechanism of emodin in inhibiting proliferation,migration,and invasion of AGS cells and in suppressing the expressions of YAP1 and FOXD1.Methods Normal gastric cell GES-1 and gastric cancer cell AGS were cultured with different concentrations of emodin.CCK8 test,scratch test and Transwell assay were used to verify changes in the biological phenotype of AGS cells.TCGA database was applied to analyze expressions of HK2,YAP1 and FOXD1 in gastric cancer tissues and normal gastric tissues.Western blotting method was used to detect the impacts of emodin on HK2,YAP1 and FOXD1 proteins in AGS cells.Exogenous pyruvic acid was added to verify the changes in YAP1 and FOXD1.Results The IC50 of emodin was significantly higher in GES-1 cells than in AGS cells(P<0.05).CCK8 proliferation test,scratch test,and Transwell assay showed that emodin significantly inhibited the biological abilities of AGS(P<0.05 for comparisons).Analysis on the TCGA bioinformatics database found that the expression of key enzymes HK2 in the glycolysis pathway and oncogenes YAP1 and FOXD1 was significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than in normal gastric tissues(P<0.05 for comparisons).Emodin significantly inhibited the protein expressions of key glycolytic enzymes HK2 and oncogenes YAP1 and FOXD1(P<0.05 for comparisons).With supplement of exogenous glycolytic metabolite pyruvate,the protein expressions of oncogenes YAP1 and FOXD1 significantly increased(P<0.05 for comparisons).Conclusions Emodin has a significant pharmacological inhibitory effect on gastric cancer AGS cells,markedly suppressing their biological phenotype.Emodin not only significantly inhibits the key enzyme HK2 in glycolysis metabolism,but also the protein expressions of oncogenes YAP1 and FOXD1.With the addition of exogenous pyruvate to enhance the glycolytic metabolic pathway,the protein expressions of oncogenes YAP1 and FOXD1 significantly increased.The above results suggest a close association of YAP1 and FOXD1 with glycolytic metabolism.Emodin may inhibit oncogenes YAP1 and FOXD1 through the glycolytic metabolism of gastric cancer AGS cells.

Objective To predict the potential geographic distribution of Oncomelania hupensis in Yunnan Province using random forest (RF) and maximum entropy (MaxEnt) models, so as to provide insights into O. hupensis surveillance and control in Yunnan Province. Methods The O. hupensis snail survey data in Yunnan Province from 2015 to 2016 were collected and converted into O. hupensis snail distribution site data. Data of 22 environmental variables in Yunnan Province were collected, including twelve climate variables (annual potential evapotranspiration, annual mean ground surface temperature, annual precipitation, annual mean air pressure, annual mean relative humidity, annual sunshine duration, annual mean air temperature, annual mean wind speed, ≥ 0 ℃ annual accumulated temperature, ≥ 10 ℃ annual accumulated temperature, aridity and index of moisture), eight geographical variables (normalized difference vegetation index, landform type, land use type, altitude, soil type, soil textureclay content, soil texture-sand content and soil texture-silt content) and two population and economic variables (gross domestic product and population). Variables were screened with Pearson correlation test and variance inflation factor (VIF) test. The RF and MaxEnt models and the ensemble model were created using the biomod2 package of the software R 4.2.1, and the potential distribution of O. hupensis snails after 2016 was predicted in Yunnan Province. The predictive effects of models were evaluated through cross-validation and independent tests, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), true skill statistics (TSS) and Kappa statistics were used for model evaluation. In addition, the importance of environmental variables was analyzed, the contribution of environmental variables output by the models with AUC values of > 0.950 and TSS values of > 0.850 were selected for normalization processing, and the importance percentage of environmental variables was obtained to analyze the importance of environmental variables. Results Data of 148 O. hupensis snail distribution sites and 15 environmental variables were included in training sets of RF and MaxEnt models, and both RF and MaxEnt models had high predictive performance, with both mean AUC values of > 0.900 and all mean TSS values and Kappa values of > 0.800, and significant differences in the AUC (t = 19.862, P < 0.05), TSS (t = 10.140, P < 0.05) and Kappa values (t = 10.237, P < 0.05) between two models. The AUC, TSS and Kappa values of the ensemble model were 0.996, 0.954 and 0.920, respectively. Independent data verification showed that the AUC, TSS and Kappa values of the RF model and the ensemble model were all 1, which still showed high performance in unknown data modeling, and the MaxEnt model showed poor performance, with TSS and Kappa values of 0 for 24%(24/100) of the modeling results. The modeling results of 79 RF models, 38 MaxEnt models and their ensemble models with AUC values of > 0.950 and TSS values of > 0.850 were included in the evaluation of importance of environmental variables. The importance of annual sunshine duration (SSD) was 32.989%, 37.847% and 46.315% in the RF model, the MaxEnt model and their ensemble model, while the importance of annual mean relative humidity (RHU) was 30.947%, 15.921% and 28.121%, respectively. Important environment variables were concentrated in modeling results of the RF model, dispersed in modeling results of the MaxEnt model, and most concentrated in modeling results of the ensemble model. The potential distribution of O. hupensis snails after 2016 was predicted to be relatively concentrated in Yunnan Province by the RF model and relatively large by the MaxEnt model, and the distribution of O. hupensis snails predicted by the ensemble model was mostly the joint distribution of O. hupensis snails predicted by RF and MaxEnt models. Conclusions Both RF and MaxEnt models are effective to predict the potential distribution of O. hupensis snails in Yunnan Province, which facilitates targeted O. hupensis snail control.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5%were gram-positive and 70.5%were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3%,76.7%and 77.9%,respectively.Overall,94.0%of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8%of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2%in the isolates from children and 95.7%in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1%in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7%-23.1%of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1%to 13.3%.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5%in 2019 to 18.0%in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0%in 2019 to 72.5%in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of carotid atherosclerosis on serum triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and silent lacunar infarction (SLI) in non-diabetic population.Methods:A total of 2 482 patients were selected from the Health Examination Center of Hebei General Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. The basic demographic information, biochemical parameters, calculated TyG index and carotid plaque score were collected. SLI was diagnosed according to the criteria formulated by Chinese Society of Neurology. Participants were divided into SLI group and non-SLI group according to whether there was SLI in brain magnetic resonance imaging, and the non-SLI group was normal without lacunar infarction. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between TyG index and carotid plaque score. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of TyG index and carotid plaque score on SLI. Bootstrap was used to explore whether carotid plaque score mediated the association between TyG index and SLI.Results:There were 471 patients (18.98%) who had SLI, and 2 011 patients (81.02%) did not. Carotid plaque score [2(0, 5) vs 1(0, 3)] and TyG index [7.17(6.81, 7.64) vs 7.12(6.77, 7.54)] were increased in the SLI group compared with the non-SLI group ( Z=-4.213, Z=-2.636, P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that carotid plaque score was positively correlated with TyG index ( r=0.083, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that carotid plaque score ( OR=1.047, 95% CI 1.002-1.094) and TyG index ( OR=1.329, 95% CI 1.106-1.598) were independent risk factors for SLI ( P<0.05). Mediated effect analysis showed that TyG index had a direct effect on the incidence of SLI (β=0.265, 95% CI 0.102-0.428). Carotid plaque score partially mediated the effect of TyG index on the incidence of SLI (β=0.024, 95% CI 0.009-0.043), and the mediating effect accounted for 8.30% of the total effects. Conclusion:In non-diabetic population, TyG index and carotid plaque score are predictors of SLI, and the carotid plaque score is a partial mediator in the effect of TyG index on the incidence of SLI.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.
