The Expert Consensus on the Deployment of DeepSeek in Medical Institutions serves as a detailed guideline for the deployment of DeepSeek in medical institutions. It was developed by experts in the fields of healthcare， hospital management， medical information， health policy， law， and medical ethics from nearly 30 leading domestic medical and academic research institutions， based on relevant domestic and international laws and regulations as well as the practices of medical institutions. It aims to provide medical institutions with a scientific， standardized， and secure deployment guideline to ensure that the application of artificial intelligence （AI） technologies in healthcare， including but not limited to DeepSeek， conforms to the unique characteristics of the healthcare industry and effectively promotes the improvement of medical service levels. From the three aspects of pre-deployment evaluation， deployment implementation， and post-deployment management and monitoring， the key factors that medical institutions should consider when introducing DeepSeek were elaborated in detail， including medical demand compatibility， technical capabilities and infrastructure， legal and ethical risks， data preparation and management， model selection and optimization， system integration and training， performance monitoring and continuous optimization， risk management and emergency response， as well as compliance review and evaluation. This provides a comprehensive deployment framework for medical institutions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of technology applications.

INTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is common in Singapore, with moderate to severe OSA affecting around 30% of residents. These consensus statements aim to provide scientifically grounded recommendations for the management of OSA, standar-dise the management of OSA in Singapore and promote multidisciplinary collaboration. METHOD: An expert panel, which was convened in 2024, identified several areas of OSA management that require guidance. The expert panel reviewed the current literature and developed consensus statements, which were later independently voted on using a 3-point Likert scale (agree, neutral or disagree). Consensus (total ratings of agree and neutral) was set a priori at ≥80% agreement. Any statement not reaching consensus was excluded. RESULTS: The final consensus included 49 statements that provide guidance on the screening, diagnosis and management of adults with OSA. Additionally, 23 statements on the screening, diagnosis and management of paediatric OSA achieved consensus. These 72 consensus statements considered not only the latest clinical evidence but also the benefits and harms, resource implications, feasibility, acceptability and equity impact of the recommendations. CONCLUSION The statements presented in this paper aim to guide clinicians based on the most updated evidence and collective expert opinion from sleep specialists in Singapore. These recommendations should augment clinical judgement rather than replace it. Management decisions should be individualised, taking into account the patient's clinical characteristics, as well as patient and caregiver concerns and preferences.

PURPOSE: Septic shock is associated with high mortality and poor outcomes among sepsis patients with coagulopathy. Although traditional statistical methods or machine learning (ML) algorithms have been proposed to predict septic shock, these potential approaches have never been systematically compared. The present work aimed to develop and compare models to predict septic shock among patients with sepsis. METHODS: It is a retrospective cohort study based on 484 patients with sepsis who were admitted to our intensive care units between May 2018 and November 2022. Patients from the 908th Hospital of Chinese PLA Logistical Support Force and Nanchang Hongdu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were respectively allocated to training (n=311) and validation (n=173) sets. All clinical and laboratory data of sepsis patients characterized by comprehensive coagulation indexes were collected. We developed 5 models based on ML algorithms and 1 model based on a traditional statistical method to predict septic shock in the training cohort. The performance of all models was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration plots. Decision curve analysis was used to evaluate the net benefit of the models. The validation set was applied to verify the predictive accuracy of the models. This study also used Shapley additive explanations method to assess variable importance and explain the prediction made by a ML algorithm. RESULTS: Among all patients, 37.2% experienced septic shock. The characteristic curves of the 6 models ranged from 0.833 to 0.962 and 0.630 to 0.744 in the training and validation sets, respectively. The model with the best prediction performance was based on the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, which was constructed by age, tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex, prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, white blood cells, and platelet counts. The SVM model showed good calibration and discrimination and a greater net benefit in decision curve analysis. CONCLUSION The SVM algorithm may be superior to other ML and traditional statistical algorithms for predicting septic shock. Physicians can better understand the reliability of the predictive model by Shapley additive explanations value analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the efficacy and safety of decitabine-based myeloablative preconditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS: The clinical characteristics and efficacy of 115 AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from August 2018 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 37 patients treated with decitabine conditioning regimen (decitabine group) and 78 patients without decitabine conditioning regimen (non-decitabine group). The cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), overall survival (OS), leukemia-free survival (LFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM) and graft versus host disease (GVHD) were analyzed. RESULTS: For the patients in first complete remission (CR1) state before allo-HSCT, the 1-year relapse rates of decitabine group(22 cases) and non-decitabine group(69 cases) were 9.1% and 29.6%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant(P =0.042). The 1-year cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in decitabine group and non-decitabine group was 62.2% and 70.5%, respectively, and the 1-year cumulative incidence of chronic inhibitor-versus-host disease (cGVHD) was 18.9% and 14.1%, respectively, there were no significant differences in the incidence of aGVHD and cGVHD between the two groups (P >0.05). Of the 115 patients, there were no significantly differences in the 1-year CIR(21.7% vs 28.8%, P =0.866), NRM(10.9% vs 3.9%, P =0.203), OS(75.2% vs 83.8%, P =0.131) and LFS(74.6% vs 69.1%, P =0.912) between the decitabine group(37 cases) and the non-decitabine group(78 cases). CONCLUSION Decitabine-based conditioning regimen could reduce the relapse rate of AML CR1 patients with good safety.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for the screening of fetal chromosome aneuploidies in twin pregnancies.Methods:A total of 2 745 women with twin-pregnancies were subjected for NIPT screening. Chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were carried out on amniotic fluid samples from those with a high risk for fetal chromosome aneuploidies, and the diagnosis and pregnancy outcome were followed up. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and false positive rate of the NIPT were calculated.Results:Compared with other chromosomal abnormalities, NIPT had a higher efficacy for trisomy 21 and sex chromosomal aneuploidy (SCA) in twin pregnancies (with sensitivity being 100%, 100%, and specificity being 99.93%, 99.9%, respectively). It is difficult to evaluate the efficacy for trisomies 18 and 13 due to the limited data. For chromosome microdeletions and microduplications spanning 15 ~ 21 Mb, NIPT also had a certain detection rate. Compared with women with natural conception, NIPT had a higher detection rate for those with twin pregnancies by assisted reproduction ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:It is feasible to use NIPT for the detection of chromosome aneuploidies in women with twin pregnancies.

Objective:To investigate the effects of naringin(NRG)on apoptosis,proliferation,migration and invasion of oral squa-mous cell carcinoma(OSCC)cells.Methods:NRG of 0,5,10,15,20,25 and 30 μmol/L was respectively used to treat OSCC CAL-27 cells,and CCK-8 assay was used to cell vitality.CAL-27 cells were divided into low,medium and high dose NRG groups(NRG-L,NRG-M and NRG-H),Compound C(AMPK inhibitor)group,NRG-H+Compound C group,and control group(NC group,normal cul-ture).Cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion were detected by CCK-8 assay,EdU staining,flow cytometry,scratch and Tr-answell assays.The expression of aspartate specific cysteine proteinase-3(Caspase-3),proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2),MMP-9,p-AMPK,sirtuin 1(SIRT1)and acetylated NF-κB p65(Ac-NF-κB p65)was detected by Western blot.Results:5,10 and 20 μmol/L NRG was selected as the low,medium and high dose for the treatment of CAL-27 cells,re-spectively.Compared with NC group,in NRG-L,NRG-M and NRG-H groups EdU positive rate,scratch healing rate,A450 value,num-ber of invasive cells,the protein expression of PCNA,MMP-2,MMP-9 and Ac-NF-κB p65 in CAL-27 cells decreased,the apoptosis rate,and the protein of Caspase-3,p-AMPK,and SIRT1 increased(P＜0.05);in Compound C group EdU positive rate,scratch healing rate,A450 value,the number of invasive cells,the protein expression of PCNA,MMP-2,MMP-9 and Ac-NF-κB p65 in CAL-27 cells in-creased,apoptosis rate and the protein expression of Caspase-3,p-AMPK and SIRT1 decreased(P＜0.05).Compound C reversed the effects of high dose NRG on the proliferation,migration,apoptosis and invasion of CAL-27 cells.Conclusion:The inhibitory effects of NRG on proliferation,migration and invasion of CAL-27 cells and the promotion of apoptosis may be related to activation of AMPK and inhibition of NF-κB pathway.

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) refers to the simultaneous treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the effect of radiotherapy is enhanced with low-dose chemotherapy, which can reduce tumor recurrence and metastasis and improve clinical prognosis of patients. At present, the main factors for the increase of radiosensitivity of concurrent chemotherapy is that concurrent chemotherapy prevents the repair of tumor cells, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy act on different cell cycles and have synergistic effects. However, even for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) who have undergone CCRT, the 5-year survival rate is only 60%, which is still not ideal. In order to improve the efficacy, researchers have conducted a series of exploratory studies, which consist of the combination of targeted drugs and immunodrugs, and neoadjuvant regimens before CCRT, etc. Although targeted or immunologic drugs are effective treatment of LACC, in view of the lack of large-scale evidence-based medical evidence, multi-center prospective and randomized phase III clinical trials and high-level articles are needed to improve the level of evidence-based medicine. This consensus summarizes several key evidence-based medical studies published recently, especially the clinical research progress in targeted and immunological therapies, providing reference for domestic peers.

Objective:To study the effect of cluster nursing care based on 10S continuous quality improvement(CQI)on the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients with BPH.Methods:This study included 96 BPH patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)in our department from August 2021 to February 2023.We randomly divided the patients into two groups of equal number to receive routine postoperative nursing care(the control group)and postoperative cluster nursing care based on the 10S DQI mode(the observation group),respectively.We recorded and compared the delirium scores of the patients at 2,6,12 and 24 hours after operation,their status of recovery,scores on Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)and quality of life(QOL),and incidence of complications between the two groups.Results:Compared with the controls,the pa-tients in the observation group showed significantly lower delirium scores at 2 h(12.72±3.54 vs 10.65±2.87,P＜0.05),6 h(20.17±4.92 vs 14.19±4.64,P＜0.01),12 h(16.82±4.24 vs 10.69±3.18,P＜0.01)and 24 h(13.61±2.86 vs 9.13± 2.12,P＜0.01)after operation,and shorter time to ambulation([3.65±1.41]vs[2.84±0.83]d,P＜0.01)and time of postop-erative catheterization([6.28±1.65]vs[4.28±1.14]d,P＜0.01),bladder irrigation([3.41±1.08]vs[2.25±0.71]d,P＜0.01)and hospitalization([10.33±2.41]vs[7.82±2.06]d,P＜0.01).No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in either the SAS and SDS scores(P＞0.05)or the QOL scores before operation(P＞0.05),but the former two were dramatically decreased(P＜0.01)while the latter one increased in the observation group postoperatively(P＜0.01).Post-operative complications included delirium,bladder spasm,urethral pain,and secondary bleeding,with a significantly lower total inci-dence rate in the observation than in the control group(12.50％vs 52.08％,P＜0.01).Conclusion:Cluster nursing care based on 10S CQI can promote the postoperative recovery of BPH patients,improve their psychological status and quality of life,and reduce the incidence of delirium and complications.
