Objective To conduct comprehensive clinical evaluation of injectable anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective drugs with different mechanisms of action,and to provide a basis for drug selection and rational drug use in medical institutions.Methods Twenty-two experts in clinical and pharmacological fields were organized to construct a quantitative rating scale for the comprehensive clinical evaluation of drugs by applying the literature research method,expert interview method,and Delphi method,through seminars and interviews,and by referring to the real-world clinical data and evidence-based medical evidence such as the Guidelines for the Management of Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation of Drugs,so as to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of eight injectable anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective drugs in terms of six dimensions:effectiveness,safety,economy,appropriateness,accessibility and maturity.Results A comprehensive clinical evaluation index system of injectable anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective drugs for the treatment of drug-induced liver injury was constructed,including 6 first-level indexes,14 second-level indexes,and 27 third-level indexes,with a total of 100 points.The scoring results showed that among the evaluated varieties,the scores were,in descending order,magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection,compound glycyrrhizin injection,polyene phosphatidylcholine injection,reduced glutathione for injection,thiopronin injection,compound ammonium glycyrrhizinate injection,acetylcysteine injection and diammonium glycyrrhizinate injection.Conclusion The constructed quantitative rating scale for comprehensive clinical evaluation of drugs is operable,and the evaluation process can provide academic guidance for exploring the standardized path of comprehensive clinical evaluation of drugs,which needs to be applied in combination with the actual drug varieties of the medical institutions as well as the specific conditions of the patients to make individualized therapeutic choices.

Objective To develop a fused model based on combined intratumor-peritumor radiomics features and clinical risk factors to accurately predict the efficacy of radiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 124 HCC patients(95 males and 29 females)undergoing IMRT at the radiotherapy center of some hospital,who were divided into a training set and a validation set in a 7∶3 ratio.According to relevant standards for evaluating solid tumor treatment efficacy the patients at the progressive disease phase were enrolled into a non-response group,and the ones at the phases of complete response,partial response and stable disease were included into a response group.Firstly,radiomics features were extracted from pre-radiotherapy contrast-enhanced CT images,and were screened with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression to obtain valuable radiomics features;secondly,the scores of intratumor radiomics features,peritumor radiomics features and combined intratumor-peritumor radiomics features underwent binary Logistic regression(LR)analysis by using the glmnet package in R software(version 4.2.0),so as to construct three models for intratumor radiomics features,peritumor radiomics features and combined intratumor-peritumor radiomics features;finally,a fused model was established based on the scores of combined intratumor-peritumor radiomics features and clinical risk factors,and the corresponding Nomogram,calibration curve and clinical decision curve were plotted.R software(version 4.4.1)was used for image analysis and statistical analysis.Results The fused model based on the scores of combined intratumor-peritumor radiomics features and clinical risk factors achieved an AUC of 0.87 on both the training and validation sets,outperforming the models based solely on intratumor radiomics features,peritumor radiomics features or combined intratumor-peritumor radiomics features.The Nomogram plot showed the prediction probability of the fused model for the short-term treatment response rate was 10%-90%within the total score range of 42-93 points,and the calibration and clinical decision curves indicated that the fused model gained advantages in prediction and clinical application.Conclusion The fused model based on the scores of combined intratumor-peritumor radiomics features and clinical risk factors predicts the short-term efficacy of HCC radiotherapy effectively,providing references for formulating radiotherapy plans and guiding subsequent treatment decisions.

Objective:To explore the relationship between suicide attempts,school bullying,and psychological resilience in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder(MDD)and school bullying and psychological resilience.Methods:A total of 784 patients with MDD aged 10 to 18 years were included.The Chinese version of the Olweus Bullying Victimization Questionnaire,Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale,and a suicide attempt assessment were utilized to evaluate school bullying,psychological resilience,and suicide attempt.Stepwise logistic regression was applied to identify the associated factors of suicide attempts.Results:The occurrence of suicide at-tempts in children and adolescents with MDD was positively associated with physical bullying(OR=1.85,95％CI:1.14-3.02)and indirect bullying(OR=1.48,95％CI:1.06-2.04),and negatively associated with higher levels of goal focus(OR=0.62,95％CI:0.45-0.85)and positive cognition(OR=0.62,95％CI:0.45-0.85)at higher levels.Conclusion:Bullying significantly increases the risk of suicide attempts in children and adolescents with MDD,while higher psychological resilience could mitigate this risk.

Objective To explore the prediction efficiency of Ki-67 expression status in pituitary adenoma(PA)based on a joint model of siamese network and transfer learning.Methods The preoperative MR T1WI enhanced sequence images of 370 patients with PA diagnosed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively collected.According to the results of immunohistochemical,all patients were divided into high proliferation index group(Ki-67≥3,n=97)and low proliferation index group(Ki-67＜3,n=273),and all the sample data were randomly divided into training set and test set according to the ratio of 7∶3.Two single predictive models,ResNet-50 and VGGNet-16 and combined them with the siamese network and transfer learning were built.The prediction efficiency of different models were evaluated via accuracy rate,precision rate,recall rate,F1 score and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve as the main criteria.Results Compared with a single predictive model,the model combined with siamese network and transfer learning showed a better performance for predicting the Ki-67 of PA.Additionally,the ResNet-50 joint model exhibited the superior predictive performance.The accuracy rate was 0.872 7,the precision rate was 0.812 5,the recall rate was 0.764 7,the F1 score was 0.787 9,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.841 6.Conclusion The joint model based on siamese network and transfer learning exhibits a higher efficiency for predicting the Ki-67 expression status in PA,which can help the clinicians to formulate more personalized treatment for the patients.

Background/Aims: Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (ERFA) is a treatment option for superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN), with a relatively low risk of stenosis; however, the long-term outcomes remain unclear. We aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of patients with widespread superficial ESCN who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or ERFA. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with superficial ESCN who underwent ESD or ERFA between January 2015 and December 2021. The primary outcome measure was recurrence-free survival. Results: Ninety-two and 33 patients with superficial ESCN underwent ESD and ERFA, respectively. The en bloc, R0, and curative resection rates for ESD were 100.0%, 90.2%, and 76.1%, respectively. At 12 months, the complete response rate was comparable between the two groups (94.6% vs 90.9%, p=0.748). During a median follow-up of 66 months, recurrence-free survival was significantly longer in the ESD group than in the ERFA group (p=0.004), while no significant differences in overall survival (p=0.845) and disease-specific survival (p=0.494) were observed.Preoperative diagnosis of intramucosal cancer (adjusted hazard ratio, 5.55; vs high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia) was an independent predictor of recurrence. Significantly fewer patients in the ERFA group experienced stenosis compare to ESD group (15.2% vs 38.0%, p=0.016). Conclusions The risk of recurrence was higher for ERFA than ESD for ESCN but overall survival was not affected. The risk of esophageal stenosis was significantly lower for patients who underwent ERFA.
