Objective:To explore the effect of the retrieval of previous rewarding episodic memories on current decision-making risk preference under negative and neutral emotional contexts.Methods:Thirty-three undergraduate college students from Henan Medical University were selected as subjects in May 2025. A two-option gambling paradigm was selected as the experimental task, and a two-factor within-subject experiment design of 2 (reward: rewarded, non-rewarded) × 2 (emotional background: negative, neutral) was adopted. The risk decision-making rate of the participants was recorded.Two-factor analysis of variance was conducted using SPSS 22.0 software.Results:There was a significant interaction between the reward of the item and the emotional background on risk decision-making rate ( F(1, 64)=6.67, P<0.05, ηP2=0.17). Under the negative and neutral emotional backgrounds, the high-risk selection rates for the rewarded items (0.60±0.22, 0.56±0.22) were significantly higher than those for non-rewarded items (0.30±0.18, 0.33±0.22) (both P<0.01). Additionally, the difference in high-risk choice rate between the rewarded and non-rewarded items under the negative emotional condition (0.30±0.28) was significantly greater than those under the neutral emotional condition (0.23±0.30) ( t(32)=2.451, P<0.05, d’=0.87). Conclusion:Different emotional backgrounds and reward-related episodic memories can influence the risk decision-making preference of individuals together.The retrieval of the rewarding episodic memory during decision making can increase the high risk propensity of the individuals.

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.

Objective:To compare the differences of long-term survival rates between hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the oldest old end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, and analyze the influencing factors of mortality.Methods:It was a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data from the oldest old patients (≥80 years old) who underwent HD or PD for the first time and maintained dialysis treatment for ≥3 months in the Zhejiang Dialysis Registration System from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2021 were collected. The follow-up endpoint was until the patients' death or December 31, 2022. The propensity score matching method was used to match groups. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare the differences of long-term survival rates between the two groups. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of mortality.Results:A total of 5 880 the oldest old dialysis patients were included in this study, with 5 363 patients in the initial HD group and 517 patients in the initial PD group. After matching, there were 517 patients in the HD group and 517 patients in the PD group. The median survival time of HD group before matching was 39.9 months, with 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of 85.4%, 54.9%, and 30.0%, respectively. The median survival time of PD group was 32.9 months, with 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of 82.5%, 47.1%, and 22.3%, respectively. After matching, the median survival time of HD group was 40.3 months, and the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates were 86.1%, 57.8%, and 29.1%, respectively. The survival rate of PD group remained unchanged. The difference of 1-year survival rate between the two groups was not statistically significant, but the 2-year, 3-year, 4-year, 5-year, and overall survival rates in HD group were higher than those in PD group (Log‐rank test, χ2=4.897, P=0.027; χ2=9.693, P=0.002; χ2=10.194, P=0.001; χ2=7.868, P=0.005; χ2=12.510, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that HD (HD/PD, HR=0.794, 95% CI 0.669-0.943, P=0.009), increasing age ( HR=1.069, 95% CI 1.038-1.110, P<0.001), comorbidity with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( HR=1.510, 95% CI 1.065-2.139, P=0.021) and serum albumin <35 g/L ( HR=1.393, 95% CI 1.165-1.665, P<0.001) were independent correlated factors of mortality. Conclusions:There is no significant difference in the 1-year survival rate between HD and PD groups. The survival rate for more than 1 year in HD patients is higher than that in PD patients. HD is an independent protective factor of survival, and increasing age, comorbidities of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and serum albumin <35 g/L are independent risk factors affecting the survival in the oldest old dialysis patients.

Objective To observe the value of follicular thyroid imaging reporting and data system(F-TIRADS)for differentiating benign and malignant follicular thyroid lesions.Methods Totally 502 patients with follicular thyroid lesions were retrospectively enrolled,including 104 patients with single malignant lesion(malignant group,containing 77 follicular thyroid carcinomas[FTC]and 27 follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinomas[FVPTC])and 398 patients with 416 benign lesions(benign group,containing 197 follicular thyroid adenomas[FTA]and 219 thyroid adenomatous hyperplasia).Ultrasonic features of lesions were recorded,and F-TIRADS scores were assigned by 1 junior and 1 senior ultrasound physicians.Taken histopathology results as gold standard,receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn,the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the efficacy for differentiating benign and malignant follicular thyroid lesions using F-TIRADS.Results Significant differences of composition,internal echo,boundary,calcification and trabecular structure of lesions were found between groups(all P＜0.001).Taken F-TIRADS score≥ 7 as the optimal cut-off value,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value for differentiating benign and malignant follicular thyroid lesions by the junior physician was 76.92％,77.40％,77.31％,93.06％and 45.98％,while by the senior physician was 78.84％,81.25％,80.76％,93.89％and 51.25％,respectively.The efficacy of the latter was higher than of the former(AUC was 0.827 and 0.859,respectively,P＜0.05).Conclusion F-TIRADS could effectively identifying benign and malignant follicular thyroid lesions.

Objective To explore the value of improved ResNet18 lightweight deep learning(DL)models for automatically detecting gouty arthritis(GA)based on ultrasonogram of the first metatarsophalangeal joint(MTP1).Methods A total of 2 401 ultrasonograms obtained from 260 patients with suspected gout who underwent MTP1 ultrasound examination were included and divided into training set(1 910 ultrasonograms from 209 cases)and test set(491 ultrasonograms from 51 cases)at the ratio of 4∶1.GA lesions on ultrasonograms were manually labeled.After preprocessing,ResNet18 lightweight network was used to construct DL models for identifying the ultrasonogram category was normal or abnormal(with any manifestation of GA).Five-fold cross-validation method was adopted to evaluate the efficacy of the DL models constructed with 2,3,4 or 6 residual blocks,i.e.model 1,2,3 and 4,respectively,and the computational cost and the amount of parameters of each model were recorded.The efficacy of the models were verified using test set,and the best DL model was screened.Results The computational cost of model 1,2,3 and 4 was 7 558.27,2 963.73,4 012.33 and 6 093.39 M,respectively,while the amount of parameters was 4.61,4.91,4.91 and 5.28 M,respectively.Model 2 had the least computational cost with parameters only slightly more than model 1.In test set,no significant difference of accuracy nor the area under the curve was found among 4 models(all P＞0.05).The sensitivity of model 2 was higher than that of model 3,while its specificity was lower only than that of model 3(both P＜0.05),hence model 2 was the best DL model.Conclusion Improved ResNet18 lightweight DL models could be used for automatically detecting GA based on ultrasonogram of MTP1,among which model 2 was the best one.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the treatment of malignant tongue base tumors.Methods:A multicenter study was conducted to collect and analyze the clinical data of patients with malignant tongue base tumors who underwent TORS at five otolaryngology-head and neck surgery centers in China, including Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, and the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University between January 2017 and January 2023. Among the patients, 38 were males and 11 were females, with a mean age of 59.0±8.8 years. Baseline characteristics, complications, and follow-up data were compared between groups. Independent sample t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests was used for comparisons of continuous variables; chi-square tests or Fisher′s exact tests was applied for categorical variables. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method to calculate overall survival and disease-free survival, and differences between groups were compared using the log-rank test. Results:Among the 49 patients, 41 (83.7%) were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with a p16 positive rate of 51.2% (21/41). There were no statistically significant differences between the p16-positive group ( n=21) and the p16-negative group ( n=20) in age, sex, or postoperative bleeding (all P>0.05). However, there was a significant difference in TNM stage between the two groups ( χ2=14.556, P=0.020), with the p16-positive group predominantly in stage I (66.7%) and the p16-negative group primarily in stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ (40.0% and 30.0%, respectively). The postoperative tracheotomy rate was 30.6% (15/49), and the incidence of postoperative bleeding was 6.1% (3/49). The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 98.0% and 92.5%, respectively, while, the 1-year and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 89.2% and 84.9%, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the p16-positive and p16-negative groups in 3-year overall survival (100% vs. 83.8%, χ2=1.093, P=0.518) or 3-year disease-free survival (68.2% vs. 88.9%, χ2=2.161, P=0.382). Conclusion:TORS for malignant tongue base tumors demonstrates high clinical safety and favorable oncological outcomes.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the treatment of tonsil squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted. The clinical data of 157 TSCC patients were collected who received TORS at five medical centers, namely, the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, and Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College, from January 1 2017 to July 31 2022. There were 130 males and 27 females, aged 24-85 years. All patients were followed-up at least for 2 years (2-year group), among them, 99 patients had a follow-up of 3 years (3-year group). The overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), clinical stage, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection status were analyzed. SPSS 25.0 and SAS 9.4 were used for statistical analysis.Results:The OS and PFS of the 2-year group were 91.7% and 87.9%, respectively. The OS and PFS of the 3-year group were 85.9% and 82.8%, respectively. The prognosis of patients with locally early-stage was better than that of locally advanced patients, with the OS of 94.4% for T1-2 vs. 78.0% for T3 ( P=0.005) and the PFS of 91.2% for T1-2 vs. 75.0% for T3 ( P=0.011) in the 2-year group; the OS of 91.1% for T1-2 vs. 65.0% for T3 ( P=0.004) and the PFS of 88.6% for T1-2 vs. 60.0% for T3 ( P=0.002) in the 3-year group; and also, the OS of 90.0% for stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ vs. 79.5% for stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ ( P=0.204) and the PFS of 86.7% for stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ vs. 76.9% for stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ ( P=0.188) in the 3-year group. The prognosis of HPV-positive TSCC patients was better than that of HPV-negative patients in the 3-year group, with the OS of 90.9% for HPV-positive vs. 80.5% for HPV-negative ( P=0.045) and the PFS of 90.9% for HPV-positive vs. 75.6% for HPV-negative ( P=0.047). The average time of postoperative tracheal cannula indwelling was 25.1 days. The indwelling rate and average indwelling time of the postoperative nasogastric tube were 94.3% (148/157) and 8.5 days, respectively. Conclusion:TORS has outstanding survival benefits for TSCC patients. HPV-positive TSCC patients have a better prognosis than HPV-negative patients. TORS treatment of TSCC patients has advantages in postoperative recovery and quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and feasibility of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for resection of tumors in the parapharyngeal spaces.Methods:The clinical data of 57 patients who underwent TORS for parapharyngeal space tumors from September 2018 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were treated at five medical institutions: The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. The patients were 28 males and 29 females, aged 17-77 years (median age, 47 years). The pathological types, locations, and sizes of the tumors, operation time, intraoperative bleeding volumes, postoperative hospital stays, and postoperative complications were evaluated. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 software.Results:Postoperative pathological examination revealed 11 types of benign tumors. Among 57 cases, 27 cases had their tumors in the prestyloid spaces, predominantly with pleomorphic adenoma ( n=17), and 30 cases in the retrostyloid spaces, predominantly with schwannoma ( n=22). The tumor volumes ranged from 0.6 to 130.1 cm3, the intraoperative bleeding volumes ranged from 5 to 1 000 ml, the operation time ranged from 20 to 390 min, and the postoperative hospital stays ranged from 2 to 25 days. The total costs for individual cases were 36 000-100 000 yuan, with the highest cost in the case suffering from cerebrovascular accident. Four patients(7.0%) had tracheotomy and 36(63.2%) had nasogastric tube placement. Among the 57 patients, 5 had postoperative cavity effusion, 2 had wound dehiscence, 2 had cerebrovascular accidents, 1 had Horner syndrome, and 2 had other complications. The patients were followed up for 1-67 months, with only 1 patient with intracranial and extracranial communication relapsed. Conclusion:TORS is a safe and feasible approach for treating parapharyngeal space tumors, offering advantages such as minimal invasiveness, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery. It is suitable for parapharyngeal space tumors of various pathological types and locations. The postoperative complications are manageable, with favorable long-term follow-up results and low recurrence rates.
