ObjectiveTo construct an automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination suitable for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical scenarios, and to validate its accuracy and efficiency in TCM manipulative reduction settings. MethodsData on anteroposterior (AP) and lateral X-rays of distal radius fractures were collected from patients admitted to 18 TCM/ integrated TCM and western medicine hospitals in Jiangsu province between September 1st, 2023, and September 1st, 2024, via the Jiangsu Diagnosis and Treatment Big Data Platform for TCM Dominant Diseases. A medical image segmentation framework based on multi-scale feature fusion and edge-awareness was employed, combined with anatomical knowledge specific to TCM orthopedics, to optimize the feature extraction strategy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model. This framework enabled automatic segmentation of fracture regions and measurement of distal radius palmar tilt and radial inclination. The accuracy of the AI model in measuring radial inclination and volar tilt was validated, and the measurement time and average time gain rate of the AI model were compared to those of manual measurement. ResultsA total of 15,444 AP and lateral X-ray images of distal radius fractures were collected, and were divided into a training set (11,144 images, 5066 AP and 6078 lateral), a validation set (3700 images, 1840 AP and 1860 lateral), and an independent test set (600 images, 300 AP and 300 lateral) after preprocessing. In the measurement of 300 AP X-rays in the independent test set for radial inclination, when the degree error between AI measurement and manual measurement was <3° and <5°, AI measurement accuracy was 83% and 93%, respectively. In 300 lateral X-rays in the test set for palmar tilt, when AI measurements had an error of <3° and <5° compared to manual measurements, corresponding accuracy rate was 78% and 90%, respectively. For 50 X-ray images, AI measurement time was (1.37±0.05) min for radial inclination while manual measurement time was (22.57±2.52) min (P<0.001); in terms of palmar tilt, the AI measurement time was (1.33±0.14) min, shorter than (23.70±2.80) min for manual measurement time (P<0.001). Average time gain rates for manual and AI measurements were 93.93% and 94.39% respectively. ConclusionAn automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination in distal radius fractures has been established, enabling more accurate and efficient assessment as well as providing a tool to support the quantitative evaluation of the efficacy of TCM manipulative reduction and large-sample clinical research.

Methods:
Data of lung cancer incidence from 2012 to 2021 were collected through the Wujiang District Tumor Follow-up Registration Information System. The crude incidence, truncated incidence for 35 to 64 years, and cumulative incidence for 0 to 74 years were calculated. Chinese population-standardized incidence, Chinese population-standardized average age at onset, and Chinese population-standardized incidence proportion were calculated using the age structure of the standard population from the Fifth National Population Census in 2000. The trend in incidence of lung cancer from 2012 to 2021 was evaluated using average annual percent change (AAPC). The trend in the Chinese population-standardized average age at onset of lung cancer from 2012 to 2021 was evaluated using a linear regression model.
Results:
From 2012 to 2021, the crude incidence, the Chinese population-standardized incidence and truncated incidence for 35 to 64 years of lung cancer in Wujiang District were 84.57/100 000, 37.28/100 000 and 52.10/100 000, respectively, all showing upward trends (AAPC=2.489%, 2.034% and 4.654%, all P<0.05). The cumulative incidence for 0 to 74 years was 4.48%, showing no significant trend (P>0.05). The Chinese population-standardized incidence was higher in males than in females (48.16/105 vs. 26.81/105). The Chinese population-standardized incidence of lung cancer in females showed an upward trend (AAPC=8.174%, P<0.05), while the trend in males was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The crude incidence of lung cancer showed upward trends in the total population and females aged 0-<45 years (AAPC=18.287% and 25.343%, both P<0.05) and those aged 45-<55 age group (AAPC=8.003% and 17.629%, both P<0.05). The Chinese population-standardized average age at onset of lung cancer in total population and females decreased from 67.58 and 65.48 years in 2012 to 60.15 and 54.88 years in 2021, with an average annual reduction of 0.611 and 0.964 years, respectively (both P<0.05). The Chinese population-standardized incidence proportion showed upward trends for the total population and females under 65 years (AAPC=3.879% and 4.639%, both P<0.05). No statistically significant trends were observed in the Chinese population-standardized average age at onset or incidence proportion in males (both P>0.05).
Conclusions
From 2012 to 2021, the incidence of lung cancer in Wujiang District showed an increasing trend and a trend toward younger onset age. Young and middle-aged females had emerged as a key target population for lung cancer prevention and control.
