Acute respiratory distress syndrome （ARDS） is believed to primarily result from a disorder of the qi movement， with qi dysfunction occurring first， followed by changes in fluids and blood. The disease is located in the lungs， with its root in qi and pathological changes in fluids and blood， aligning with the theory of "qi loses its regulatory function， fluids and blood follow the same path". Accordingly， ARDS is divided into three stages， the early stage with qi congestion， counterflow， fluids and blood obstruction， severe stage with qi collapse， yang depletion， fluids and blood out of control）， and recovery stage with qi consumption and fluids damage， residual pathogen retention. For the corresponding treatments， in the early stage， the focus is on diffusing the lung qi， opening the block， dissol-ving phlegm， and eliminating fluid retention， using Tingli Dazao Xiefei Decoction （葶苈大枣泻肺汤） and Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction （宣白承气汤） / Shegan Mahuang Decoction （射干麻黄汤） with modifications. In the severe stage， the priority is to reinforce qi， stabilize collapse， and promote diuresis and blood circulation， with modified Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤） and Shenge Powder （参蛤散）. During recovery stage， the emphasis shifts to replenishing qi and body fluids while clearing residual pathogens， with Shashen Maidong Decoction （沙参麦冬汤） and Bufei Decoction （补肺汤）. At the same time， from the perspective of "qi loses its regulatory function， fluids and blood follow the same path"， the mechanism of prone position ventilation （PPV） is explored. It is believed that the effect of "qi reaching the blood" via PPV by restoring the qi movement and unblocking qi， blood and water retention， which offers insights for the diagnosis and treatment of ARDS with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

A self-supervised super-resolution reconstruction method based on scale adaptive and coordinate encoding is proposed to realize super-resolution reconstruction of anisotropic brain magnetic resonance images with different slice thicknesses even in the absence of paired isotropic brain magnetic resonance images.Firstly,an image encoding module that integrates super-resolution scale information is used to learn the specific features of images with different slice thicknesses.Subsequently,a coordinate encoding module is employed to facilitate the deep fusion of coordinate information and image features.Finally,an overall loss function comprising reconstruction loss and brain tissue edge perception loss is adopted to optimize the recovery of edge high-frequency information,while global residual learning is introduced to enhance network training.Experimental results on the HCP-1200 and OASIS-1 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other self-supervised super-resolution reconstruction methods.

Objective:To develop and validate machine learning models for predicting the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) following in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to analyze key predictive features using SHAP values. Methods:This retrospective study included data from patients who underwent IVF-embryo transfer at the Department of Reproductive Medicine, Baoding Maternal and Child Health Hospital, between January 2017 and December 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups based on live birth outcome: the live birth group ( n=1 036) and the non-live birth group ( n=756). The dataset was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in a ratio of 7∶3. Five algorithms were utilized for model development: logistic regression, random forest, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), support vector machine, and neural networks. Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve, F1 score, and calibration curves. Clinical decision curve analysis (DCA) was employed to evaluate the clinical utility of the models. SHAP values were used to interpret feature importance in the XGBoost model and enhance its explainability. Results:The XGBoost model demonstrated the best performance in predicting CLBR,with accuracy of 72.44%, AUC of 0.775, and F1 score of 0.654, accuracy and F1 score outperforming logistic regression (accuracy was 70.02%, F1 score was 0.585), random forest (accuracy was 71.69%, F1 score was 0.606), support vector machine (accuracy was 70.20%, F1 score was 0.607), and neural network (accuracy was 68.72%, F1 score was 0.560). The calibration curve of XGBoost closely aligned with the diagonal line, indicating that the predicted probabilities were very close to the actual outcomes, demonstrating good calibration. DCA indicated that the XGBoost model provided higher net benefits across a wide range of clinical decision thresholds. SHAP value analysis identified number of previous IVF failures, antral follicle count, anti-Müllerian hormone level, percentage of normal sperm morphology, and sperm DNA fragmentation index as key predictors of CLBR.Conclusion:The XGBoost model exhibits excellent predictive performance and calibration for CLBR, with SHAP values providing important insights into feature importance. This model has the potential to support the development of personalized treatment strategies in clinical practice. However, its generalizability needs to be validated using external datasets to ensure its applicability to diverse populations.

BACKGROUND:The cryopreservation technology enables tissues/cells to be stored for a long time in a low-temperature environment while maintaining the integrity of their activity and function,which is of great significance for the construction of cell therapy,tissue engineering and biological sample banks.Cryoprotective agents often contain dimethyl sulfoxide and serum.To avoid the toxic side effects of dimethyl sulfoxide,the complexity of serum components and immune responses,although some finished cryoprotective agents have been marketed,they are faced with many difficulties such as high cost and limited application.Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop a cryoprotective agent with clear components and the ability to solve the above problems.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of a novel cryoprotectant on cryopreservation efficiency of different tissue and cell sources.METHODS:By applying the novel cryoprotectant as an experimental group with the commercially available and widely used cryoprotectant(control group)to umbilical cord Wharton's jelly tissue,umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells,umbilical cord blood/peripheral blood mononuclear cells,NK and CIK cells,comparative analyses were conducted in terms of cell morphology,number,viability,surface markers,differentiation potential,and cell-killing toxicity assay before cryopreservation and after resuscitation thawing.We confirmed the cryopreservation effect of the new cryoprotectant and its potential application value.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The novel cryoprotectant facilitated the normal growth of cryopreserved Wharton's jelly tissue upon recovery,exhibiting mesenchymal stem cell morphology.No significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in terms of cell recovery rate,surface markers,and differentiation potential.(2)There was no significant difference in the number and viability of cells between the experimental group and the control group after cryopreservation of cord blood/peripheral blood mononuclear cells,and the cryo-resuscitated cell numbers and viability of derived NK cells/CIK cells did not show significant difference between the experimental and control groups.(3)For NK cells derived and differentiated from cord blood/peripheral blood mononuclear cells,there was no significant difference in the proportion of CD56+CD16+cell subpopulations between the experimental group and the control group.For CIK cells derived and differentiated from cord blood/peripheral blood mononuclear cells,there was no significant difference in the proportions of CD3+CD8+and CD3+CD56+cell subpopulations between the experimental group and the control group.(4)In terms of cytotoxicity testing,when the effective-target ratio of immune cells and melanoma cell line Mel624 was 20:1,whether it was NK cells/CIK cells derived from cord blood or peripheral blood mononuclear cells,there was no significant difference in the tumoricidal activity of cells between the experimental group and the control group.These findings suggest that the novel cryoprotectant can replace existing commercially available and widely used cryoprotectants,and is applicable to Wharton's jelly tissue,umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells,umbilical cord blood/peripheral blood mononuclear cells,as well as NK and CIK cells,providing a solid technical foundation for the scaling,standardization,and commercialization of universal cryoprotectants.

Objective To explore the changes of durability properties of reusable surgical gowns when used in dry and wet conditions.Methods Reusable surgical gowns made of single-layer polyester fiber or 3-layer composite material were selected as test samples,and a Martindale abrasion and pilling tester was used as the basic test platform and modified to form fixtures suitable for the wet state environment.The reusable surgical gowns underwent abrasion experiments in wet and dry conditions to observe the changes in their fiber structure,and were subjected to water penetration resistance and swelling strength tests.Results Visually the reusable surgical gowns had few changes of the microscopic textile fiber structure in dry and wet conditions,and the gowns made of single-layer polyster fiber gained advantages over the outer layers of those of 3-layer composite material in abrasion resistance with the same friction cycles.In dry and wet conditions,the hydrostatic pressure values of the gowns of single-layer polyster fiber gradually decreased with the increase of the degree of abrasion,which were always lower than those of the gowns of 3-layer composite material;the swelling strength of the gowns of single-layer polyster fiber was always greater than that of the gowns of 3-layer composite material,which decreased with the deterioration of the wear more significantly than that of the gowns of 3-layer composite material.Conclusion The reusable surgical gowns made of single-layer polyester fiber or 3-layer composite material have few differences in durability and protective properties at the early stages of ablation in dry and wet conditions.The durability of the gowns decreases as the degree of wear increases,while the trend of the decrease is slowing down until the fabric breaks down and completely loses its barrier effect.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):28-33]

Objective To summarize the clinical features,treatment and prognosis of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL)with clonal bone marrow B cells,and to explore the influence on clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods PCNSL patients with clonal bone marrow B cells diagnosed by flow cytometry between Jan 2020 and Jul 2023 at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University were enrolled.The auxiliary examination data of these patients were collected,including complete blood count,routine biochemistry,bone marrow aspiration and biopsy,contrast-enhanced brain MRI,and whole-body PET-CT.Kaplan-Meier was used to draw the survival curve,and relevant literature was reviewed.Results A total of 223 newly diagnosed PCNSL patients were included,187 of whom completed bone marrow puncture and biopsy evaluation.We found clonal bone marrow B cells in 16 of 187 cases(8.56%)by flow cytometry.2 patients showed B lymphoma involving the bone marrow.All patients received a high-dose methotrexate based chemotherapy.The median progression free survival(PFS)of 16 patients with clonal bone marrow B cells was 11.1 months,and the median PFS of 171 patients with normal bone marrow was 12.6 months.There was no significant difference in the PFS between the two groups.Conclusion PCNSL with clonal bone marrow B cells had no specific clinical features,but bone marrow flow cytometry showed clonal B cells.High-dose methotrexate treatment regimen is effective.There was no significant difference in PFS for PCNSL patients with clonal B cells and normal findings in bone marrow.Clonal B cells in bone marrow may be caused by monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis(MBL),lymphoma involves the bone marrow and the presence of common precursor cells.Bone marrow examination should be performed in the initial evaluation of suspected PCNSL.

BACKGROUND:Ankle fracture complicated with deltoid ligament injury is clinically common,and one stage repair of deltoid ligament with internal fracture fixation has gradually become a main therapeutic method,which can significantly reduce the long-term complications of ankle joint.In recent years,new progress has been made in anatomical structure characteristics and dynamic biomechanical research of deltoid ligament,thus greatly improving repairing techniques for injury in the deep layer of deltoid ligament,but there are still some controversies.OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy of suture anchor and medial malleolus repair in the treatment of ankle joint fractures with the deep layer of deltoid ligament.METHODS:A total of 56 patients with ankle joint fractures and complete fracture of the deep and superficial layer of deltoid ligament treated in Affiliated Haikou Hospital,Xiangya School of Medicine,Central South University from January 2017 to January 2022 were selected,and they were divided into two groups according to different treatment methods in repairing the deep layer of deltoid ligament with suture anchor:suture anchor repair group(n=32)and medial malleolus repair group(n=24).The medial clear space of ankle joint and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score of patients in the two groups were evaluated before and after operative treatment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All the 56 patients finished the surgery smoothly and were followed up for more than 12 months after operation.Their ankle fracture healed,and the time for fracture healing was 8-12 weeks,with a mean of 10.5 weeks.(2)The medial clear space of ankle joint in the two groups 12 months after operation was remarkably narrower than that before operation,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).The medial clear space of ankle joint in the two groups maintained a normal range 12 months after operation,and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).(3)The AOFAS scale of patients in the two groups 6 and 12 months after operation was obviously bigger than that before operation(P＜0.001),but there was no statistically significant difference in the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score of patients between the two groups at corresponding time points(P＞0.05).(4)It is concluded that both suture anchor and medial malleolus repair in the treatment of injury in the deep layer of deltoid ligament can recover the medial clear space of ankle joint,effectively keep the stability of ankle,and thus achieve good clinical efficacy.
