Objective To explore the value of a CT radiomics model in differentiating Xpert MTB/RIF-negative pulmonary tuber-culosis(PTB)from non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease(NTM-PD).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 90 patients with Xpert MTB/RIF-negative PTB and 127 patients with NTM-PD.All patients were randomly divided into training set and testing set at the ratio of 7∶3.Radiomics features were extracted from chest CT images.Feature dimensionality reduction and selection were sequentially performed using the maximum relevance and minimum redundancy(mRMR)algorithm and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)algorithm.Clinical,radiomics,and combined models were constructed by multi-variable logistic regression.The area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was utilized to assess the model diagnostic performance.Calibration curves were used to evaluate model stability,and the decision curve analysis(DCA)was used to evaluate the clinical utility.Results The combined model had the highest diagnostic performance in both training and testing sets,with AUC of 0.90 and 0.86,respectively,which were higher than clinical and radiomics models.The calibration curve showed that the combined model had a good consistency between the predicted and the actual observations,and DCA revealed the highest clinical benefit.Conclusion The clinical-radiomics combined model has excellent predictive ability in differentiating Xpert MTB/RIF-negative PTB from NTM-PD,which can provide robust support for clinical diagnosis.

Objective To construct YOLOv10 based artificial intelligence(AI)models for the automatic detection in small bowel capsule endoscopy(SBCE)images.Methods SBCE data from two centers was collected,including 23 115 images and 35 412 annotated labels covering 11 categories of small bowel lesions.The images were annotated using the LabelMe tool and converted into the YOLO format required for deep learning model development.The pre-trained YOLOv10 and YOLOv8 models were used for transfer learning training on the constructed dataset.Model performance was comprehensively evaluated using metrics such as precision,accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,false-positive rate,and detection speed.Finally,the models were deployed on local computers for real-time detection of SBCE images and videos.Results Six different versions of YOLO object detection models were developed,namely YOLOv8n,YOLOv8s,YOLOv8m,YOLOv10n,YOLOv10s,and YOLOv10m.On the validation set,YOLOv10s model achieved the best mAP50(0.795);although its inference latency was not the fastest(4.803 ms/img),it met the requirements for clinical application.On the test set,YOLOv10s performed well,with an accuracy of 92.69%,a sensitivity of 89.23%,and a false-positive rate of 4.78%.Especially,in category-specific inference,the highest sensitivity was for"bleeding"at 96.41%,while the lowest was for"narrowing"at 82.29%.Conclusion The model constructed based on YOLOv10 neural network can rapidly and accurately detect and classify various small bowel lesions,exhibiting significant clinical application potential.

Objective To investigate the impact of a high-salt diet on blood pressure level and the prevalence of hypertension in individuals with varying salt-sensitive phenotypes.Methods In 2004,339 participants from northern China were subjected to a chronic salt loading diet intervention study,and their salt-sensitive phenotypes were determined based on the study results.The participants were divided into salt-sensitive and salt-insensitive groups.In 2018,we randomly selected 152 participants for follow-up from the original cohort,and assessed their salt intake through 24-hour urine sodium level.The participants were divided into different groups based on various criteria to comprehensively investigate the effects of high-salt diet on blood pressure level and hypertension prevalence in individuals with different salt-sensitive phenotypes.Results Among the 339 subjects,154 were identified as salt-sensitive,accounting for 45.4％,while 185 were classified as salt-insensitive,accounting for 54.4％.The average arterial pressure response to high-salt intake after switching from low-salt intake in salt-sensitive individuals was 8.31(7.60,9.02),while the average arterial pressure response in salt-insensitive individuals was-1.09(-1.49,-0.68).A follow-up visit was conducted in 152 participants,It was found that the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure[divided according to the average daily salt intake(＞11 g).SBP:140.8 mmHg vs.132.9 mmHg,DBP:85.9 mmHg vs.81.6 mmHg,P＜0.05;divided according to the quartile of daily salt intake,SBP:140.8 mmHg vs.132.9 mmHg,DBP:85.9 mmHg vs.81.6 mmHg,P＜0.05]were significantly higher in the high-salt diet group than in the normal salt diet group in salt-sensitive individuals,but there was no significant difference in salt-insensitive individuals(P＞0.05).Additionally,the high-salt diet could significantly increase the incidence of hypertension among salt-sensitive individuals[divided according to the average daily salt intake(＞11 g):58.8％vs.32.8％,P＜0.05;divided according to the quartile of daily salt intake:58.8％vs.32.8％,P＜0.05],but had no effect on salt-insensitive individuals(P＞0.05).Conclusion A high-salt diet can increase systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in salt-sensitive individuals,and significantly increase the long-term prevalence of hypertension in salt-sensitive individuals,but not in salt-insensitive individuals.Therefore,the salt-sensitive phenotype plays a crucial role in the relationship between salt intake and salt-sensitive hypertension.

Objective:To evaluate the outcomes of intensive conservative treatment compared to conventional conservative treatment in patients with acute aortic syndrome(AAS).Methods:The study prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with AAS who were admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital, affiliated with Capital Medical University, and Beijing Dawanglu Emergency Rescue Hospital from January 2024 to December 2024. These patients with surgical contraindications or refused surgery for various reasons opted for conservative treatment. A total of 282 patients were included, and 15 patients with missing data or those who died without any treatment were excluded. Finally, 267 patients were enrolled, of whom 94 received intensive conservative treatment, and 173 received conventional conservative treatment, the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to reduce the influence of confoundings. After adjusting of baseline datas via IPTW, the survival outcomes of the two groups were compared at 14 days, 30 days, and at the end of follow-up.Results:The results showed significant differences in acute phase survival rates between the enhanced conservative treatment group and the conventional conservative treatment group at 14 days(82.40%vs.53.20%, P<0.0001). Significant survival differences were also observed at 30 days and at 276-day mid-term follow-up (96.29% vs.51.60%, P<0.0001; 78.50% vs.48.50%, P<0.0001). In the subgroup analysis, for type A aortic dissection, the enhanced conservative treatment group had higher survival rates compared to the conventional conservative treatment group at 14, 30 and 276 days (63.46% vs.41.35%, P<0.05; 52.17% vs.37.90%, P<0.05; 50.00% vs. 31.97%, P<0.05). However, for type B aortic dissection, although the enhanced conservative treatment group had higher survival rates than the conventional conservative treatment group, no statistically significant differences were observed (96.29% vs. 80.00%, P=0.054; 95.65% vs.78.37%, P=0.067; 94.12% vs.74.20%, P=0.088). Conclusion:For patients diagnosed with AAS are forced to choose conservative treatment if emergency surgery is not possible in the first place, intensive conservative treatment strategies can significantly reduce the mortality in the acute phase compared with conventional conservative treatment. Mid-term follow-up, intensive conservative treatment still has a significant survival advantage.

Objective To summarize and analyze the CT or MRI imaging signs of ovarian torsion in children.Methods The CT or MRI data of 24 children surgically confirmed ovarian torsion were analyzed retrospectively,focusing on imaging signs such as ovarian position,size,the relationship with surrounding appendages and uterus.Results In this group of cases,8 cases underwent CT examination and 16 cases underwent MRI examination.Among the age of children,12 cases were in newborns,and 6 cases were in school-age and adolescent children respectively.It was more common in newborns and children aged 10-12 years old.Among the 24 patients,3 cases(12.5％)had primary ovarian torsion,all of which were adolescent children;21 cases(87.5％)had secondary ovarian torsion,with all torsions in the neonatal period were secondary ovarian torsion.Among secondary ovarian torsion,there were 7 cases(33.3％)of ovarian teratoma with torsion,12 cases(57.1％)of simple ovarian cysts,1 case(4.7％)of ovarian serous cystadenoma,and 1 case(4.7％)of ovarian mucinous cyst.Torsion occurred in 9 cases(37.5％)of the left ovary and 15 cases(62.5％)of the right ovary,with right ovarian torsion being more common.Imaging signs included varying degrees of enlargement of the ovaries on the ipsilateral side of the torsion,with 14 cases(58.3％)of ovarian masses had a maximum diameter≥5 cm,and 3-5 cm being more common in the neonatal period.There were 11 cases(45.8％)with the pedicle sign/vortex sign on the ipsilateral side of the torsion,9 cases(37.5％)with mass and hemorrhage,4 cases(16.7％)with mass displacement to the midline or uterine displacement to the ipsilateral side,and 3 cases(12.5％)of the ovarian follicle outward migration showed fruit bowl sign.Conclusion Secondary ovarian torsion is relatively common in children,with distinctive imaging manifestations.Especially when neonatal ovarian cysts show hemorrhagic signals should be alert to the risk of ovarian torsion.CT and MRI examinations can provide a powerful reference for the clinical diagnosis of ovarian torsion in children.

This paper focuses on the formation of Chinese medicine symptoms in late-life depression(LLD).It delves into an interdisciplinary study that combines interoception and the Chinese medicine concept of'holism of physique and spirit'.LLD,as a common psychiatric disorder,has significant differences in clinical characteristics from younger patients,often manifesting physical discomfort and cognitive impairment.As a key link in the body-brain axis,interoception plays a central role in regulating emotions and behaviors,and its abnormalities are closely related to the development of LLD.The Chinese medicine concept of'holism of physique and spirit'provides a therapeutic perspective that unifies the body and the spirit,emphasizing the interaction between visceral functions and emotional states.Psychological interventions,including cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness meditation,are effective in improving interoception and reducing depressive symptoms.In this study,the relationship between interoception and LLD was analyzed through embodied cognition theory and fMRI technology,and the application of'holism of physique and spirit'in treating late-life depression.The challenges and opportunities of interdisciplinary research in the field of late-life depression is discussed,and future research directions is proposed,aiming to provide more scientific and effective strategies for the prevention,diagnosis,and treatment of LLD.
