Objective:To develop and validate a deep learning-based multimodal model integrating clinical and radiomic features for predicting acute kidney injury(AKI)risk after partial nephrectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 416 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University from January 2023 to January 2025. The cohort included 100 AKI patients[defined by a ≥ 25% reduction in postoperative evaluated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)within 48 hours sustained for >24 hours]and 316 non-AKI patients(1∶3 ratio,randomly matched with 16 additional cases for redundancy). Clinical and radiomic features were extracted from preoperative contrast-enhanced CT scans using PyRadiomics. Demographics included 259 males and 158 females,with a median age of 57(49,65)years,body mass index of(24.1 ± 3.3)kg/m2,preoperative eGFR of(88.5 ± 18.3)ml/(min·1.73 m2),postoperative eGFR(48-hour)of(76.0 ± 21.9)ml/(min·1.73 m2),Zhongshan Score(ZSscore)of 7.34 ± 2.01,and R.E.N.A.L. score of 7.50 ± 1.71. All tumors were T 1a stage. Patients were divided into training(n = 312)and test(n = 104)sets(3∶1 ratio). A clinical model was constructed via multivariate logistic regression,while radiomic and combined(clinical + radiomic)models utilized an artificial neural network(ANN)with 1 input layer,5 hidden layers,1 output layer,and 10 5 training epochs. Model performance was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and area under the curve(AUC),and was compared to the Martini model. Feature contributions were interpreted via SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP). Results:In the test set,the results of multivariate logistic regression showed that patient’s weight,preoperative eGFR,R.E.N.A.L. score,surgical approach,and operation time were risk factors for AKI( P < 0.05). The AUC of the clinical feature prediction model constructed based on the above factors was 0.852(95% CI 0.775?0.929). In the test set,the AUC of the Martini model was 0.725(95% CI 0.565?0.791). The radiomic model,trained on 1 315 imaging features,achieved an AUC of 0.898(95% CI 0.804?0.993)with 94.2%(98/104)accuracy. The combined clinical and radiomic model,integrating 1 315 radiomic features and clinical features,demonstrated superior performance with an AUC of 0.946(95% CI 0.887?1.000)and 96.2%(100/104)accuracy,outperforming both the clinical model( P = 0.03)and the Martini model( P < 0.01). SHAP analysis identified the top five predictors in the combined model:ZSscore(SHAP value:0.78),long-run low gray-level emphasis(SHAP value:0.61),run-length non-uniformity(SHAP value:0.58),size-zone non-uniformity(SHAP value:0.46),and gray-level co-occurrence matrix joint energy(SHAP value:0.36). Conclusions:The deep learning-based multimodal model integrating clinical and radiomic features accurately predicts AKI risk after partial nephrectomy,offering a novel strategy for preoperative risk stratification and personalized intervention.

Objective:To explore the effect of the forward moving pelvic floor exercise program in urinary incontinence management among patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.Methods:From June 2022 to January 2024, 150 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy of the Urology Surgery Department, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected using convenience sampling. Patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 75 cases in each group. Control group received conventional perioperative management for prostate cancer, while observation group implemented a forward moving pelvic floor exercise program in addition to conventional management. The incidence of urinary incontinence, urinary control capabilities before and after intervention (including maximum urinary flow rate, average urinary flow rate, voided urine volume, and residual urine volume), and quality of life scores [evaluated using the Chinese version of the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL) ] were compared between two groups of patients.Results:The incidence of urinary incontinence of observation group was lower than that of control group. Furthermore, patients with urinary incontinence in observation group exhibited significantly lower urine leakage volume and fewer episodes of urinary incontinence over 24 hours at one month postoperatively compared to control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in maximum urinary flow rate, average urinary flow rate, voided urine volume, or residual urine volume between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). Following intervention, both groups demonstrated increased maximum urinary flow rate, average urinary flow rate, and voided urine volume compared to baseline, with observation group exhibiting higher values than control group ( P<0.05), and residual urine volume of both groups decreased compared to baseline, with observation group showing lower values than control group, these differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The difference in I-QOL scores between the two groups before intervention was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Following intervention, I-QOL scores decreased in both groups, but observation group had higher score than control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The forward moving pelvic floor exercise program effectively reduces the incidence of urinary incontinence in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, alleviates the severity of incontinence, and improves both urodynamic outcomes and quality of life.
