Digital biopsy for liver diseases is characterized by the deep integration of artificial intelligence （AI） technologies and large-scale liver disease data， through which intelligent analytics are applied to support clinical decision-making and full-cycle management. This article reviews the AI technical framework based on standardized data governance and centered on multimodal large medical models， covering the application of natural language processing， knowledge map， generative AI， and large language models in the establishment of databases for specialty diseases， diagnosis， prognosis prediction， treatment， and automated medical documentation. This article also discusses the application prospects of this framework in medical education， scientific research， and healthcare management. Although this technique shows broad application potential， it still faces challenges in areas such as multi-center data integration， model interpretability， ethics， and data security. In the future， a smart ecosystem with closed-loop optimization and human-AI collaboration should be established to promote the comprehensive implementation of digital biopsy in the whole process of medicine， education， research， and management， thereby providing help for the precise prevention and control and holistic health management of liver diseases.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pertussis cases identified through active surveillance.Methods:Active surveillance for pertussis was conducted in three sentinel hospitals in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, and Yongcheng, Henan Province. The study population included cases that met the surveillance case definition and sought medical care at outpatient/emergency departments or were hospitalized between June 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022. Samples were collected for bacterial culture and PCR detection. Case information and clinical data were collected. Differences in rates were assessed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability test, and the differences in cough time were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:Among 1 423 cases of pertussis surveillance, the positive rate of pertussis was 28.11% (400/1 423), with a median age of 5 years (interquartile range: 2, 8). The positive rate in Yongcheng, Henan Province, and Yiwu, Zhejiang Province were 39.27% (216/550) and 21.08% (184/873), respectively; the positive rate of pertussis was highest in July 2021, and the highest positive rate of pertussis was among those aged 10-14. The positive rate of pertussis in hospitalized cases was higher than in outpatient/emergency cases (26.68%) ( χ2=4.16, P=0.041). Among the 400 laboratory test-positive cases, the highest proportion of atypical symptom cases was in adults aged 20-59 (43.33%, 13/30). The specificity rates of apnea and worsening nocturnal cough in monitored cases under 3 months of age were 100.00% and 73.81%, respectively. Among monitored cases aged 3 months to 9 years, the proportions of symptoms including worsening nighttime cough (63.00%) and night sweats (4.59%) in test-positive cases were significantly higher than those in the test-negative group (47.77% and 0.56%, respectively), with statistically significant differences (both P<0.05). The specificity rates of worsened nighttime coughing and night sweats were 52.23% and 99.44%, respectively. Conclusions:The active surveillance results for pertussis showed that the 10-14 age group exhibited the highest positivity rate. Active surveillance enhanced the detection rate of pertussis. Among laboratory-confirmed cases, the proportion of atypical symptoms was the highest in adults, suggesting that laboratory testing should be combined to diagnose programs of pertussis. For infants under 3 months, worsening nighttime cough and apnea increase the diagnostic specificity, while for individuals aged 3 to 9 years old, worsening nighttime cough and night sweats increase the diagnostic specificity.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of high intraocular pressure (IOP) after femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) in patients with high myopia, and construct and verify nomogram model.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 2019 to January 2021, 327 patients (654 eyes) with high myopia treated with FS-LASIK in the Department of Ophthalmology of the 910th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army Coalition Security Force were included in the study. The patients were categorized into high IOP group and non-high IOP group according to whether high IOP occurred after surgery, which were 60 cases and 120 eyes (18.35%, 60/327) and 267 cases and 534 eyes (81.65%, 267/327), respectively. The clinical data of patients in the two groups were analyzed and observed, and the indicators with differences were subjected to one-way and multifactorial logistic regression analyses, and the results of the regression analyses were visualized to obtain the column line graphs using R3.5.3 software, and the accuracy of the column line graphs was verified by the consistency index (C-index), the calibration curves, and the subject's work characteristic curves (ROC curves).Results:Comparison of the number of cases of affected corneal thickness ( χ2=7.424), corneal curvature ( χ2=9.849), glucocorticoid treatment ( χ2=7.222), intraoperative IOP fluctuation ( χ2=11.475), corneal hysteresis ( χ2=6.368), and the incidence of intraoperative complications ( χ2=6.673) in the hypertensive IOP group and the nonvisualized IOP group were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that corneal thickness >450 μm, corneal curvature≤38 D, glucocorticoid treatment, intraoperative IOP fluctuation, corneal hysteresis ≤8.0 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), and intraoperative complications were the risk factors for the occurrence of high IOP after FS-LASIK surgery in patients with high myopia ( P<0.05). The C-index of the column-line graph prediction model based on this was 0.722 (95% confidence interval 0.684-0.760), the calibration curve and the ideal curve were basically the same, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.709. Conclusions:Corneal thickness> 450 μm, keratometric curvature ≤38 D, glucocorticoid treatment, intraoperative fluctuation of intraocular pressure, and corneal hysteresis ≤8.0 mm Hg are the risk factors for the development of hyperopic IOP in highly risk factors for the development of high IOP after FS-LASIK surgery in myopic patients. The column-line diagram model constructed on the basis of the risk factors hava good accuracy.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism, treatment and prevention of brain edema after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and transvaginal ovarian puncture and oocyte retrieval.Methods:A retrospective clinical study and literature review were performed to analyze one patient who was diagnosed as having brain edema after COH and transvaginal ovarian puncture and oocyte retrieval.Results:After long acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a) COH protocol, 30 oocytes were obtained. Hydroxyethyl starch 500 mL was given to treat ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) after oocyte retrieval. The patient had sudden irritability, blurred consciousness and vomiting at the 8th hour after oocyte retrieval. The examinations showed hyponatremia and brain edema. The patient relived after mannitol and hypertonic saline treatment. On the 5th day after oocyte retrieval, the patient performed paracentesis guided by ultrasound due to seroperitoneum. Low molecular weight heparin was applied to prevent thrombosis after the flare up of serum D-Dimer on the 7th day. The patient recovered and discharged after 2 weeks.Conclusion:The incidence of brain edema after COH and transvaginal ovarian puncture and oocyte retrieval was very low. However, the symptoms may be severe and may be life-threatening.

The parahippocampal gyrus-orbitofrontal cortex (PHG-OFC) circuit in humans is homologous to the postrhinal cortex (POR)-ventral lateral orbitofrontal cortex (vlOFC) circuit in rodents. Both are associated with visuospatial malfunctions in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we explored the relationship between an impaired POR-vlOFC circuit and visuospatial memory deficits through retrograde tracing and in vivo local field potential recordings in 5XFAD mice, and investigated alterations of the PHG-OFC circuit by multi-domain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients on the AD spectrum. We demonstrated that an impaired glutamatergic POR-vlOFC circuit resulted in deficient visuospatial memory in 5XFAD mice. Moreover, MRI measurements of the PHG-OFC circuit had an accuracy of 77.33% for the classification of amnestic mild cognitive impairment converters versus non-converters. Thus, the PHG-OFC circuit explains the neuroanatomical basis of visuospatial memory deficits in AD, thereby providing a potential predictor for AD progression and a promising interventional approach for AD.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-A) protocol on in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze the clinical data of the DOR patients who received IVF-ET treatment for the first time at the Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital Reproductive Center during January 2015 to December 2016. They were divided into a GnRH-A protocol group and an gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) short protocol group according to different ovulation induction protocols. The general conditions, clinical and laboratory indicators, and pregnancy outcomes of the two groups were compared.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in live birth rate, clinical pregnancy rate and implantation rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). The dosage of gonadotropin (Gn) used in GnRH-A protocol group [(3 082.04±1 004.40) IU] was less than that in GnRH-a short protocol group [(3 510.05±1 119.09) IU], P<0.001], the duration of Gn used [(9.66±2.13) d] was shorter than that in GnRH-a short protocol group [(10.63±2.27) d, P<0.001], the number of eggs (4.54±2.97) was less than that in GnRH-a short protocol group (5.54±3.54, P<0.001). Conclusion:DOR patients using GnRH-A protocol for hyperovulation therapy have similar outcomes to GnRH-a short protocol pregnancy, with less Gn used dosage and shorter Gn used duration. Therefore, the GnRH-A protocol is also one of the suitable ovulation induction for DOR patients.

Objective To investigate the status of self‐management of blood pressure (BP) among elderly hypertensive patients living in new rural communities of Shanghai. Methods We enrolled a total of 2 241 hypertensive patients over 60 years old who participated in the National Key Research and Development Project "Cohort study on hypertension" of the 13th Five‐Year Plan in Langxia, Shanghai from May to July 2018. Questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory tests were conducted. We collected participants' demographic information, cardiovascular history, and self‐management behaviors related to hypertension. The status of self‐management of BP among participants with hypertension was analyzed. Pearson's chi‐squared test was used to explore the differences between males and females. Results Participants'mean age was (70.0±6.8) years, and males accounted for 38.8% of all participants. The systolic and diastolic BP levels of participants were (147.8±15.4) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and (82.8±9.8) mmHg, respectively. The systolic blood pressure level of women was higher than that of men, and the diastolic blood pressure level of men was higher; the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). The awareness, treatment, and control rate of hypertension were 79.0%, 78.0%, and 25.6%, respectively. Males had a significantly higher control rate than females (P<0.05). The status of self‐management of blood pressure was as follows: (1) As to lifestyle, 84.4% of participants lacked exercise, and 69.2% were overweight or obese. The prevalence of smoking and drinking was higher in males (40.7% and 46.2%, respectively), and the proportion of females (12.4%) with anxiety and/or depression was higher than that of males (P all<0.001). (2) Concerning BP‐monitoring, only 10.1% of participants measured BP every week, 22.9% had BP measurement instruments at home, and 4.6% recorded their BP levels. There was no significant difference in self‐blood pressure monitoring behavior between men and women. (3) Regarding adherence to medication treatment, 97.6% took antihypertensive drugs regularly, and 21.6% were on combination therapy. The proportion of men taking combined drugs was higher than that of women, but there was no significant difference. Conclusions The rates of awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in elderly hypertensive patients in new rural communities of Shanghai were above the national average. However, the status of self‐management of BP was still not satisfactory. More attention should be paid to healthy lifestyle, home BP monitoring, and effective pharmaceutical treatment strategies for hypertension.
