Objective:To propose a deep learning（DL）-based ultrasound imaging auxiliary tool for automatic segmentation and recognition of the brachial plexus（BP），and to enhance the accuracy and safety of clinical procedures.Methods:It was a multicenter study that collected 773 healthy subjects from Peking University Third Hospital and its branch campuses，the Third Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital，and Shanghai Eighth People's Hospital between August 2024 and February 2025. Brachial plexus（BP）images in the interscalene groove were captured used high-frequency ultrasound by senior sonographers，a dataset comprising 1 289 standardized images were constructed and the improved model（CHA-TransUNet）was trained. The test set was input into 6 different models（CHA-TransUNet，R50-Unet，TransUnet，SegFormer，SwinUnet，MISSFormer）for segmentation. Segmentation accuracy was evaluated using metrics including the Dice similarity coefficient（DSC），95% Hausdorff distance（HD95）and mean intersection over union（mIoU），and was compared with the segmentation results of 3 ultrasound physicians with varying experience levels（junior physicians and senior physicians）to validate the model's segmentation efficacy.Results:The CHA-TransUNet model established based on a dataset of 1 289 standardized images achieved segmentation results for the BP with a DSC of 90.15%，mIoU of 91.02%，and HD95 of 8.08. Its accuracy was higher than other mainstream models（DSC：90.15% vs. 87.60%，87.77%，81.35%，84.78%，84.55%），significantly better than junior physicians（DSC：90.15% vs. 68.73%， Z=-127.76， P<0.001），and approached the level of senior physician（DSC：90.15% vs. 86.15%， Z=-31.33， P=0.549）. The model demonstrated superior boundary recognition in complex anatomical structures（e.g.，C6/C7 nerve roots）compared to ultrasound physicians（junior and senior）（HD95：8.08 vs. 26.34，17.44，56.80）. Conclusions:This study proposes an analysis model for BP ultrasound images，CHA-TransUNet. This model achieves segmentation and recognition of the BP with relatively complex pathways and structures. The model exhibits high accuracy and stability，outperforming current mainstream network models and junior physicians while approaching the performance level of senior physicians. It assists junior physicians or trainees in more accurately identifying and localizing the BP.

Methods: From September 2015 to October 2017, 60 patients with allergic rhinitis in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Tongxiang were selected according to include and exclude standards.The patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the digital table, with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine: loratadine tablets combined with budesonide nasal spray.The treatment group was given traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of the control group.Before and after treatment, the nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal itching, sneezing four indicators were recorded in the two groups.And nasal discharge, tears flowed pharyngeal from eye pain, oral cavity on the forehead, nose, or pain, headache, five secondary indicators, as well as in the case of a change rhinitis, quality of life questionnaire were collected.The data were statistically analyzed. Results: Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in the main symptoms, secondary symptoms, serum IgE and quality of life between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 3 months of treatment, all the indicators in the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In addition, the improvement of main symptoms and serum IgE in the treatment group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (z/t=-2.708, -2.033, -3.757, -2.208, -2.432; P=0.007, 0.042, 0.000, 0.027, 0.018), but there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of subtypes and quality of life improvement (P=0.488, 0.448, 0.519, 0.228, 0.278, 0.338). After 1 year of follow-up, the mean scores of each group were analyzed and compared.The indicators in the treatment group showed a different degree of recovery after 3 months of treatment.However, compared with before treatment, the indicators were still significantly improved.The scores of nasal obstruction, runny nose, nasal itching, sneezing, quality of life, and serum IgE in the treatment group were (1.13±0.81)points, (1.00±0.94)points, (0.93±0.74)points, (1.00±0.74)points, (6.13±2.30)points, (92.23±12.55)points, compared with those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (t/z=-5.575, -5.222, -6.281, -5.918, 5.633, 9.199, all P<0.01). Compared with the control group, all indicators were significantly better, the differences were statistically significant (z/t=-2.388, -2.390, -2.738, -2.350, 4.800, 4.022, 4.444, 4.356, 5.934, -2.023, -4.381; P=0.017, 0.017, 0.006, 0.019, 0.028, 0.045, 0.035, 0.037, 0.015, 0.048, 0.000). After 3 months of clinical treatment and 1 year follow-up analysis, the total effective rate of the treatment group was 93.3%, that of the control group was 86.7%, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=-2.221, P=0.026). Conclusion The clinical efficacy of Shufeng Tongqiao and Yifei Jianpi prescription combined with western medicine in the treatment of allergic rhinitis is more significant than conventional western medicine alone, and the long-term efficacy is significant, which can effectively reduce the symptoms of patients, improve the quality of life of patients, and significantly reduce the level of serum IgE.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of 6-month and 12-month oral dual-antiplatelet therapy This work was supported by the National Key Technology Research and Development Program in the Twelfth Five-year Plan of China (2011BAIl1B07) and the Military Clinical Key Technology and Development Program (2010gxjs001)(DAPT) on patients implanted with biodegradable polymer-coated and drug-eluted long stents (BP-DES).Methods In the I-LOVE-IT 2 trial,574 patients implanted with biodegradable polymer-coated and sirolimus-eluted long stent (BP-SES) (total stent length ≥50mm) were randomized to accepting either 6-month (n=270) or 12-month (n=304) DAPT.The primary endpoint of present study was 12-month target lesion failure (TLF),including cardiac death,target vessel myocardial infarction and clinically indicated target lesion revascularization (CI-TLR).The major secondary endpoint was 12-month net adverse clinical events (NACE),including all-causes of death,myocardial infarction,stroke,all revascularization (CI-TLR plus clinically indicated nontarget lesion revascularization) and bleeding.Results For the patients implanted with BP-SES of total stent length≥ 50mm,the total stent length was 73.0 ± 22.5mm and 69.8 ± 19.4mm in the 6-month DAPT group and 12-month group,respectively (P=0.07).No significant difference existed in the incidence of 12-month TLF between 6-month DAPT group and 12-month DAPT group (11.1％ vs.9.2％,P=0.47).The incidence of NACE was similar between the 2 groups (21.9％ vs.19.7％,P=0.57).The incidence of revascularization was lower in 12-month DAPT group (5.6％) than in 6-month DAPT group (11.1％,P=0.01).Furthermore,6-month landmark analysis showed that 12-month DAPT was associated with significantly lower risk of TLF (2.6％ vs.6.3％,P=0.03) at a cost of slightly increased risk of all bleeding events (1.6％ vs.0.7％,Log-rank P=0.32) between 6 and 12-months compared to 6-month DAPT.Conclusions In patients treated with BP-SES of total stent length ≥ 50mm,12-month DAPT have similar impacts on 12-month clinical outcomes except for all revascularization.However,12 months DAPT decreased the incidence of TLF and total revascularization between 6 months to 12 months after PCI.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Shufeng Tongqiao,Yifei Jianpi therapy on persis-tent allergic rhinitis.Methods From January 2014 to February 2015,80 patients with allergic rhinitis in our hospital were chosen.Using random number table,they were randomly divided into control group and treatment group.The con-trol group was given western medicine,the treatment group was given self designed formula on the basis of the control group.The clinical symptoms,the efficacy and related indicators of the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Results After treatment for 3 months and 1 year,the IgE test results in the treatment and control groups were significantly lower than before treatment(t =13.93,14.45,12.11,7.46,all P <0.05),the IgE test results after 1 year of treatment in the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group (t =-4.59,P <0.05).IgE test results in the control group after one year of treatment was significantly higher than treatment for 3 months (t =-2.61,P <0.05 ).The total effective rate of the treatment group was 87.5%,which was significantly higher than 70.0% of the control group(P <0.05 ).Conclusion Shufeng Tongqiao,Yifei Jianpi method in the treatment of persistent allergic rhinitis has significant clinical effect,it can effectively alleviate rhinitis symptoms,stabilize serum IgE levels.

Objective:To evaluate the anxiety and depression symptoms of burning mouth syndrome (BMS), and to explore risk factors to BMS.Method:In this case-control study,147 patients with BMS and 140 sex-and age-matched healthy volunteers were recruited.Three questionnaires were used to collect information of psychical and mental condition.The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)were applied to evaluate symptoms of anxiety and depression.The scores of SAS and SDS were statistically analyzed by t-test.The risk factors of BMS were statistically analyzed by Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis.Result:The scores of SAS and SDS were higher in the patients with BMS than in the controls [SAS:(44.4 ±9.9)vs. (35.7 ±6.2);SDS:(48.1 ±11.6)vs.(37.5 ±8.9)].The risk factors of BMS included ischemic stroke (OR =4.46,95%CI:1.87 -10.95),low level of education (OR =1.91,95%CI:1.04 -3.49),anxiety symptom (OR =8.12,95%CI:2.60 -25.37)and depression symptom (OR =2.57,95%CI:1.26 -5.27).Conclusion:BMS is a multi-factorial disease.It indicates that ischemic stroke,lower level of education,anxiety symptom and depression symptom are the risk factors of BMS.A positive association could be established between psychological alterations and BMS.According to these findings it can be assumed that mental factors should be taking into account in the etiologyof BMS.It should be advocated to treat BMS patients by psychotherapy.

Objective To retrospectively analyze medical data of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) so as to provide evidence for clinical use of opportunistic screening.Methods A total of 2450 CRC patients (male 1377,female 1073) who were treated at five hospitals in North China during October 2001 and September 2011 and had complete medical records and pathological results were recruited.The correlations of incidenceofCRCwithage,gender,tumorlocationandhistologicaltypeswere analyzed.Results Of all the CRC patients,those less than 50 years old accounted for 18.14％ ; and the incidence of CRC was substantially increased in those over 50 years old.Seventy-three percent of tumor occurred at the rectum and sigmoid colon,6％ at descending colon,7％ at transverse colon and 14％ at ascending colon.Moderately,well or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma accounted for 50.33％,40.35％and 9.32％,respectively.Histological differentiation was not correlated with age and gender ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Age and gender should not be considered a determination of opportunistic screening for CRC.Colonoscopy is recommended as an alternative CRC screening procedure.

Objective To identify clinicopathological features of high MSI (MSI-H).Methods We enrolled 150 patients,standard microsatellite loci (BA T25,BA T26,D2S123,D5S346,D17S250) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) with fluorescent primers,and the PCR products were analyzed by GeneMapper software;age at diagnosis,gender and site were obtained;various pathological features were observed by light microscopy;the expression of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (CD4~+ and CD8~+) was detected by immunohistochemistry.Using a stepwise logistic regression model,a formula was generated that could be used to calculate the probability of a colorectal carcinoma being MSI-H based on pathological features.Results Among 150 cancers,MSI-H was 13.33%.Independent identifiers inclucle poor differentiation,histologic heterogeneity,Crohn's-like reaction and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes,logistic regression formula shows a sensitivity of 70.0% and a specificity of 99.2% and a accurate ratio of 95.3% for MSI-H.Conclusion MSI-H phenotype cancer is a type of nonfamilial colorectal cancer with specific pathological features,Clinicopathological features can efficiently identify MSI-H colorectal cancers.

Objective To investigate the effects of estrogen on mismatch repiar gene expression in colonic mucosa in vivo. Methods A total of 42 healthy individuals underwent colonoscopy were enrolled in the study. Half an hour before colonoscopy examination, blood sample was taken for determining the serum estradiol (E2) level. N ormal colonic mucosal tissues determined by naked eye under colonoscopy examination were taken in the right hemi colon to detect HMLH1 and hMSH2 gene expression by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry staining. Then the correlation of serum E2 levels with hMLH1 and hMSH2 expression in colonic mucosa was analyzed. Results A bimodal curve was presented for the correlation between serum E2 level in healthy individuals and hMLH1 expression in colonic mucosa. A strong positive correlation of E2 level with hMLH1 expression in normal colonic mucosa was observed when serum E2 level was more than 45 pg/ml (For mRNA, P=0. 003, r=0. 701; for immunohistochemistry positivity index, P=0. 000, r=0. 874).However there was no correlation between E2 level and hMSH2 expression. Conclusion High serum E2 level might increase the hMLH1 gene expression in colonic mucosa in vivo.
