To address issues such as loss of detailed information, blurred target boundaries, and unclear structural hierarchy in medical image fusion, this paper proposes an adaptive feature medical image fusion network based on a full-scale diffusion model. First, a region-level feature map is generated using a kernel-based saliency map to enhance local features and boundary details. Then, a full-scale diffusion feature extraction network is employed for global feature extraction, alongside a multi-scale denoising U-shaped network designed to fully capture cross-layer information. A multi-scale feature integration module is introduced to reinforce texture details and structural information extracted by the encoder. Finally, an adaptive fusion scheme is applied to progressively fuse region-level features, global features, and source images layer by layer, enhancing the preservation of detail information. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper validates the proposed model on the publicly available Harvard dataset and an abdominal dataset. By comparing with nine other representative image fusion methods, the proposed approach achieved improvements across seven evaluation metrics. The results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively extracts both global and local features of medical images, enhances texture details and target boundary clarity, and generates fusion image with high contrast and rich information, providing more reliable support for subsequent clinical diagnosis.

Alcoholic liver disease is liver disease caused by heavy and/or chronic alcohol consumption.Bile acids are synthesized in the liver and regulate the body through liver-intestinal circulation.Many studies have shown that bile acid is closely related to alcoholic liver disease.Alcohol intake can cause liver damage by affecting bile acid synthesis,hepato-enteric circulation and intestinal flora.This article summarizes the mechanism of action of bile acids in alcoholic liver disease and the current research status of improving alcoholic liver disease based on bile acid regulation,in order to provide new ideas for future research on the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease.
