Objective:To explore the value of the vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) score based on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) combined with quantitative tumor MRI parameters in assessing the muscle invasion of bladder cancer.Methods:The study was a case-control study. The data of 87 bladder cancer patients confirmed by pathology who underwent mpMRI of the bladder were retrospectively collected from the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2019 and April 2023 The pathological findings were used as the gold standard to categorize them into the muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) group (29 cases) and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) group (58 cases). Quantitative parameters were measured based on preoperative mpMRI images, including the length of tumor bladder wall contact, the perpendicular distance between the bladder tumor and the tangent of the bladder wall, the maximal diameter of the bladder tumor, and the volume of the bladder tumor. Bladder cancer was classified according to the VI-RADS scoring criteria. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for intergroup comparisons. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to obtain the independent risk factors related to muscle invasion of bladder cancer and to establish the model. The receiver operating characteristic curves were analyzed for MRI quantitative parameters and logistic regression models, and area under the curve (AUC) comparisons were performed using the DeLong test. Results:The differences in tumor bladder wall contact length, perpendicular distance from the tumor to the tangent line of the bladder wall, maximum diameter, bladder tumor volume, and the VI-RADS scores were statistically significant between the MIBC group and the NMIBC group ( P<0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that tumor bladder wall contact length ( OR=21.07, 95% CI 3.56-124.89, P=0.001) and VI-RADS score ( OR=11.90, 95% CI 3.53-40.12, P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for evaluating the muscle invasion of bladder cancer. The difference between the VI-RADS score and the tumor bladder wall contact length for assessing muscular infiltration of bladder cancer had AUCs of 0.802 (95% CI 0.704-0.899) and 0.759 (95% CI 0.652-0.865). The combined model of VI-RADS score combined with tumor bladder wall contact length had an AUC of 0.891 (95% CI 0.812-0.970), which was higher than the diagnostic efficacy of applying tumor bladder wall contact length or VI-RADS score alone ( Z=3.05, 2.37, P=0.002, 0.018). Conclusion:Tumor contact length with the bladder wall is an independent risk factor for assessing muscle invasion of bladder cancer and the combination of VI-RADS score may enhances diagnostic accuracy.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of ganciclovir combined with spleen aminopeptide in treating infectious mononucleosis(IM)and its impact on the immune function of diseased children.Methods Totally 120 diseased children with IM accepted by our hospital from February 2022 to August 2024 were stochastically assigned into a treatment group and a monotherapy group.The monotherapy group received treatment with ganciclovir,while the treatment group received treatment with spleen aminopeptide in addition to the monotherapy group.The efficacy,symptom improvement time,serum inflammatory factors,immune indicators,and biochemical indicators before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results The efficacy of the treatment group was better than that of the monotherapy group,and the symptom relief time was shorter than that of the monotherapy group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the serum amyloid A,TNF-α,IL-6,procalcitonin,CD3+T,CD8+T,lactate dehydrogenase,alanine aminotransferase,EBV-DNA,creatine kinase,and white blood cell count in both groups decreased,while CD4+T and CD4+T/CD8+T increased.The amplitude of the treatment group was greater than that of the monotherapy group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of ganciclovir and spleen aminopeptide in treating IM is beneficial for enhancing the immune function of T lymphocytes of diseased children,alleviating inflammatory reactions,improving biochemical indicators,and enhancing efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) on learning memory and abnormal Aβ deposition in cerebral amyloid angiopathy(CAA) model mice, and further to investigate whether the mechanism involves the transport function of glymphatic system.Methods:Eight-month-old SPF grade Tg-SWDI mice were randomly divided into the CAA group and the rTMS group according to the random number table method with 7 in each group.Seven wild-type mice of the same genetic background and age served as the control group. The mice in rTMS group received two weeks of high-frequency rTMS intervention, and the mice in CAA group and control group were only restrained without rTMS intervention.Learning and memory functions were evaluated using the Morris water maze test.Amyloid-beta deposition, glymphatic system clearance, and aquaporin-4(AQP4) polarization were assessed using immunofluorescence, and AQP4 expression levels were measured by Western blot.Statistical analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS 25.0 and GraphPad Prism 9.5 softwares.Repeated-measures ANOVA was used for data on escape latency, and one-way ANOVA was used for comparisons between multiple groups for other data.Results:(1)In the novel object recognition test, there were statistically significant differences in recognition indices among the three groups of mice ( F=22.59, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the mice in the CAA group showed a significant decrease in the new object recognition index ( P<0.05).Compared with the CAA group, the mice in the rTMS group showed a significant increase in the new object recognition index ( P<0.05).(2)In the Y-maze, there were statistical differences in the spontaneous alternation rates among the three groups ( F=5.00, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the spontaneous alternation rate in the CAA group was significantly lower ( P<0.05).And compared with the CAA group, the spontaneous alternation rate in the rTMS group was significantly higher ( P<0.05).(3)In the Morris water maze test, there were significant interactions in escape latency among the three groups ( F=4.05, P=0.02), significant main effects of time ( F=713.22, P<0.01), and significant main effects of group ( F=421.55, P<0.01). There was no significant statistical difference in swimming speed among the three groups ( F=0.19, P>0.05), while the difference of the number of entries into the inner zone and the proportion of time spent were statistically significant( F=71.67, 294.14, both P<0.05).Compared with the control group, the CAA group mice significantly decreased in the number of entries into the inner zone and the proportion of time spent in the middle zone (both P<0.01).(4)Compared with the CAA group, the rTMS group significantly increased in the number of entries into the inner zone and the proportion of time spent in the middle zone (both P<0.01).The result of immunofluorescence test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the levels of Aβ in the cerebral vessels among the three groups( F=385.76, P<0.01).The levels of Aβ in the cerebral vessels of the CAA group (62.00±2.65) were significantly higher than those in the control group (9.00±1.00, P<0.01).The levels in the rTMS group (51.33±3.21) were significantly lower than those in the CAA group (62.00±2.65, P<0.01). Using the residual fluorescence tracer levels of the control group as a baseline, there were statistically significant differences in the tracer intensities in the corpus callosum and cerebral cortex( F=258.97, 46.44, both P<0.05), the tracer intensities in the corpus callosum (3.57±0.21) and cerebral cortex (4.96±0.79) of the CAA group mice were significantly higher than those in the rTMS group (1.45±0.14, 1.78±0.47, P<0.01). The polarization of AQP4 in the cerebral cortex of rTMS group (0.51±0.07) was significantly higher than that in the CAA group (0.30±0.02, P<0.01). Conclusion:rTMS can alleviate learning memory and abnormal Aβ deposition in CAA model mice by modulating AQP4 polarisation and promoting transport function of glymphatic system.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of video head impulse test(vHIT)combined with serum calcitonin gene related peptide(CGRP)and Ficolin-3 in patients with vestibular neuritis(VN).Methods A total of 92 VN patients treated in the hospital from March 2021 to September 2023 were assigned as the VN group,92 vestibular migraines(VM)patients treated in the hospital during the same period were assigned as the VM group,and another 92 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination in the hospital were assigned as the control group.The levels of CGRP and Ficolin-3 in serum were compared in three groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of VN occurrence.Receiver operating charac-teristic curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of vHIT combined with serum CGRP and Ficolin-3 levels for VN.Results Compared with the control group,the serum CGRP levels in the VN group and the VM group were obviously increased(P＜0.05),while the Ficolin-3 levels were obviously reduced(P＜0.05).Compared with the VM group,the serum CGRP level and 3 pairs of vestibular ocular reflex(VOR)gain a-symmetry values in the VN group were obviously increased(P＜0.05),while the Ficolin-3 level was obvious-ly reduced(P＜0.05).Horizontal semicircular canal(HC)asymmetry value,superior semicircular canal(AC)asymmetry value,posterior semicircular canal(PC)asymmetry value,and CGRP were independent risk factors for VN occurrence(P＜0.05),while Ficolin-3 was an independent protective factor for VN occurrence(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of combined detection of AC asymmetry value,HC asymmetry value and PC asymmetry was 0.872,which was better than that of AC asymmetry value and HC asymmetry value alone(Z three combination-AC asymmetry value=2.506,Z three combination-HC asymmetry value-2.329,P=0.012,0.020).The AUC of HC asymmetry value,AC asymmetry value,PC asymmetry value,serum CGRP and Ficolin-3 for diagnosing VN was 0.782,0.787,0.856,0.857,and 0.881,respectively.The AUC of the combined diagnosis of the five was 0.948,which was better than those of the individual diagnosis(Z five combination-HC asymmetry value=4.578,five combination-AC asymmetry value-4.908,Zfive combination-PC asymmetry value 3.085,Z five combination-CGRP=3.559,Z five combination-Ficolin-32.867,P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum CGRP level is increased and Ficolin-3 level is decreased in VN patients.CGRP is an independent risk factor for VN occurrence,and Ficolin-3 is an independent protective factor for VN occurrence.The combination of vHIT,CGRP,and Ficolin-3 has high diagnostic value for VN.
