OBJECTIVE To form an expert consensus on the clinical application of parenteral direct thrombin inhibitors （DTIs） in patients during the perioperative period. METHODS Led by Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital （the Affiliated Hospital of UESTC）， a multidisciplinary working group was established. Through literature review and the Delphi method， clinical questions related to the rational perioperative use of parenteral DTIs were identified. A structured design was adopted using the “Population-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome” framework； systematic searches were conducted in CNKI， Medline， Embase and other databases. Relevant evidence from randomized controlled trials and cohort studies was included and synthesized. Evidence quality was assessed using the Grades of Recommendations Assessment，Development and Evaluation （GRADE） approach， and recommendations were formulated through multiple rounds of Delphi surveys and expert consensus meetings. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS Seven recommendations （each with an expert consensus rate exceeding 90%） on the use of parenteral DTIs in perioperative patients were developed. These recommendations specify drug selection， dosing ranges， key monitoring points， and safety management strategies for parenteral DTIs in various scenarios， including the perioperative period of ventricular assist device implantation， the perioperative period of cardiac surgery， perioperative patients with lower-extremity atherosclerotic disease， the perioperative period of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome， the perioperative period of carotid artery stenting in patients with carotid stenosis， the perioperative period of patients with right heart thrombosis， and patients who develop related thrombosis and dysfunction after a central venous catheter insertion. In addition， warning and management pathways for perioperative bleeding and thrombotic events were proposed. This expert consensus， which is formulated based on the best available evidence， provides evidence-based guidance for standardized and individualized use of parenteral DTIs in perioperative period.

ObjectiveTo construct an automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination suitable for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） clinical scenarios， and to validate its accuracy and efficiency in TCM manipulative reduction settings. MethodsData on anteroposterior （AP） and lateral X-rays of distal radius fractures were collected from patients admitted to 18 TCM/ integrated TCM and western medicine hospitals in Jiangsu province between September 1st， 2023， and September 1st， 2024， via the Jiangsu Diagnosis and Treatment Big Data Platform for TCM Dominant Diseases. A medical image segmentation framework based on multi-scale feature fusion and edge-awareness was employed， combined with anatomical knowledge specific to TCM orthopedics， to optimize the feature extraction strategy of an artificial intelligence （AI） model. This framework enabled automatic segmentation of fracture regions and measurement of distal radius palmar tilt and radial inclination. The accuracy of the AI model in measuring radial inclination and volar tilt was validated， and the measurement time and average time gain rate of the AI model were compared to those of manual measurement. ResultsA total of 15,444 AP and lateral X-ray images of distal radius fractures were collected， and were divided into a training set （11,144 images， 5066 AP and 6078 lateral）， a validation set （3700 images， 1840 AP and 1860 lateral）， and an independent test set （600 images， 300 AP and 300 lateral） after preprocessing. In the measurement of 300 AP X-rays in the independent test set for radial inclination， when the degree error between AI measurement and manual measurement was ＜3° and ＜5°， AI measurement accuracy was 83% and 93%， respectively. In 300 lateral X-rays in the test set for palmar tilt， when AI measurements had an error of ＜3° and ＜5° compared to manual measurements， corresponding accuracy rate was 78% and 90%， respectively. For 50 X-ray images， AI measurement time was （1.37±0.05） min for radial inclination while manual measurement time was （22.57±2.52） min （P＜0.001）； in terms of palmar tilt， the AI measurement time was （1.33±0.14） min， shorter than （23.70±2.80） min for manual measurement time （P＜0.001）. Average time gain rates for manual and AI measurements were 93.93% and 94.39% respectively. ConclusionAn automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination in distal radius fractures has been established， enabling more accurate and efficient assessment as well as providing a tool to support the quantitative evaluation of the efficacy of TCM manipulative reduction and large-sample clinical research.

Objectives: . The prognostic value of the pretreatment albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) in head and neck cancer (HNC) remains uncertain. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the predictive role of AAPR for survival outcomes in patients with HNC. Methods: . A comprehensive search of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase databases was conducted to identify relevant studies published up to July 30, 2024. We included studies on AAPR and survival outcomes in HNC patients. Results: . Eight studies comprising 1,737 HNC patients were analyzed using random-effects models. Lower AAPR values were significantly correlated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 2.08), progression-free survival (HR, 2.00), and disease-free survival (HR, 2.18). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these results, with no significant publication bias detected. Conclusion . Our findings suggest that pretreatment AAPR could serve as a valuable and cost-effective prognostic indicator in HNC, potentially aiding clinicians in risk stratification and treatment decision-making. However, additional validation studies are warranted to confirm its clinical applicability.

Objective: To investigate the intentions of mothers of ageappropriate girls in Qingdao to vaccinate their daughters against human papillomavirus (HPV), so as to provide theoretical guidance for targeted health education in the future. Methods: A multistage random sampling method was adopted to conduct a crosssectional study among 2 244 mothers of girls aged 12-14 years in Qingdao from March to December 2023. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for group comparisons, and Logistic regression was performed to analyze the factors that influenced maternal intention to vaccinate their ageappropriate daughters against HPV. Results: Among the surveyed mothers, 89.22% (n=2 002) intended to vaccinate their daughters against HPV, and 68.58% (n=1 539) had fully vaccinated or had plans to complete it for themselves. The knowledge score of mothers intended to vaccinate their daughters was 10 (8, 11). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that mothers aged >45 years (OR=0.19), those with an annual family income of 60 000-<150 000 yuan (OR=0.65), 150 000-<300 000 yuan (OR=0.58), 300 000-500 000 yuan (OR=0.22), and those with higher knowledge scores (OR=0.90) were more likely to vaccinate their daughters (P<0.05). Mothers with a junior college or undergraduate degree (OR=1.66), those who never or occasionally screened for HPV (OR=1.58), those who were intended to be vaccinated, not planning to complete the fullcourse vaccination, or overaged and unvaccinated (OR=7.13), those who were not concerned about their daughters HPV infection (OR=2.54), and those whose daughters were not in adolescence (OR=1.93) were less intended to vaccinate their daughters (P<0.05). The primary reasons for vaccine hesitancy were vaccine safety concerns (65.06%), followed by the belief of mothers that "the children is to young, and can be vaccinated when they are older" (13.25%). Conclusions Mothers of eligible girls in Qingdao have relatively higher intentions to vaccinate their daughters against HPV, and willingness is influenced by factors such as the mothers vaccination status, knowledge level, and daughters development stage. It is recommended to strengthen targeted health education, improve the cognitive level and acceptance of mother, and increase the vaccination rate of HPV vaccines.

Objective To investigate the possible association between cross-domain associative memory(AM)impairment and hippocampal subfield volumes in patients with schizophrenia(SCZ).Methods We enrolled 28 SCZ patients from Shanghai Mental Health Center,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,and 28 healthy controls(HCs)between 2019 and 2021.Based on an innovative AM paradigm and automated segmentation,3D-T1 weighted data of the objects were processed with PhiPipe and FreeSurfer.Differences in subfield volums between the two groups were analyzed using ANCOVA,while their relationship with AM scores was assessed using Pearson correlation.Results SCZ patients exhibited significantly poorer AM performance across three conditions compared with HCs.Marginally significant reductions were observed in the total volume of bilateral hippocampus,encompassing both the hippocampal head and body.Significant volume reductions were identified in the bilateral presubiculum and parasubiculum.The volumes of bilateral presubiculum head(r=0.273,P=0.042),parasubiculum(r=0.397,P=0.002),and CA1 head(r=0.382,P=0.004)exhibited positive correlations with cross-domain AM performance.Conclusion The bilateral presubiculum and parasubiculum,as hippocampal subregions significantly associated with cross-modal AM deficits in SCZ,may play a crucial role in the pathology of AM.

Objective:To analyze the symptoms,diagnosis and treatment of upper urinary tract calculi patients combined with mild and moderate benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)after ureteral stent implantation.Methods:One hundred and six BPH pa-tients who were hospitalized for upper urinary tract calculi and had ureteral stents retained from January 2019 to December 2022 were selected and divided into 2 weeks group and 4 weeks group according to the time of removal of ureteral stents after surgery.Their gener-al clinical data were analyzed and compared.International Prostatic Symptom Scale(IPSS),postoperative ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire(USSQ),and incidence of adverse events after ureteral stent removal were recorded before and after removal.Results:The scores of IPSS were significantly increased in all patients,and symptoms in urinary tract had improved significantly after discharge(P＜0.05).Compared with the 2 weeks group,the USSQ score of the 4 weeks group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).And no significant adverse event was observed in the 2 weeks group after the removal of ureteral sten.Conclusion:IPSS score and USSQ score increased significantly during stent implantation in BPH patients with lithiasis.And complications increased sig-nificantly over time.Following thorough clinical assessment,early ureteral stent removal demonstrates both safety and efficacy,repre-senting an optimal therapeutic approach in selected cases.

Objective To compare the effects of different detector combinations of 320-row CT on the image quality and radiation dose of head CT to explore the feasibility of using a wide detector for head CT scanning.Methods Totally 100 patients underwent head CT scanning due to trauma or cerebrovascular disease at some hospital from June to August 2023 were collected prospectively and divided into group A and group B by using block randomization grouping method,with the length of the block group being 2 and 50 patients in each group.In group A,all the detectors had the widths at z-axis direction being 40×0.5 mm and head scanning was completed after multiple exposures;in group B,detector combinations with widths of 280×0.5 mm or 320×0.5 mm were chosen based on the patient's head size in the head-foot direction(z-axis direction),and head scanning was performed with a single-turn exposure.The remaining scanning and image reconstruction parameters in the two groups were kept completely consistent.The head image quality of the 2 groups was evaluated objectively and scored subjectively by 2 radiologists.The volume CT dose index(CTDIvol),dose length product(DLP)and exposure time of the 2 groups were recorded,and the effective dose(ED)was calculated.SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results In terms of objective evaluation of image quality,at the level of the parietal skull group B had the CT value of gray matter,image noise and contrast to noise ratio(CNR)of the images higher than those of group A,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05);at the level of the posterior skull group B had the CT values of gray and white matter,image noise and air noise lower while CNR higher than those of group A,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).In terms of subjective scoring of image quality,at the levels of parietal and posterior skull group A behaved better than group B,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).In group A 5 patients had obvious motion artifacts affecting the diagnosis and the image quality scores not higher than 2,and secondary scanning had to be carried out;In group B all the patients had no obvious motion artifacts and met the diagnosis requirements.When compared with group A Group B had the CTDIvol,DLP,ED and exposure time decreased by 17.44%,17.24%,17.48%and 85.53%,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion A wide detector gains advantages over a 20 mm detector in image quality when 320-row CT is used for head CT scanning,with the diagnosis requirements satisfied.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(4):57-62]

Objective:To develop a preoperative CT-based radiomics model integrating multidimensional features for the accurate prediction of TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma（TFE3-rRCC）.Methods:This study retrospectively enrolled 865 pathologically confirmed renal cell carcinoma（RCC）patients in The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from June 2013 to June 2023，including 60 cases of TFE3-rRCC and 805 cases of non-TFE3 RCC（comprising clear cell RCC，papillary RCC，and chromophobe RCC）. Among them，627 were male and 238 were female，with a mean age of（54.1 ± 12.7）years（range：14?82 years）. The median maximum tumor diameter was 4.0（2.6，6.0）cm. Based on the chronological order of CT examinations，the patients were divided into training（ n=478），validation（ n=206），and test（ n=181）sets in an approximate 6∶2∶2 ratio. Using precontrast and corticomedullary phase CT images，we extracted peritumoral imaging features，habitat features，3D radiomic features，and 2.5D deep learning radiomic features. A deep learning radiomics score（DLR-SCORE）prediction model was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator（LASSO）regression. The diagnostic performance of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curve analysis，with the area under the curve（AUC）as the primary metric. Additionally，sensitivity，specificity，and accuracy were calculated based on the confusion matrix. Results:A total of 12 442 features were extracted from non-contrast and corticomedullary phase CT images，from which eight key features were selected to construct the DLR-SCORE model. The model demonstrated diagnostic accuracies for TFE3-rRCC of 98.5%（471/478）in the training set，81.6%（168/206）in the validation set，and 86.2%（156/181）in the test set. The AUC of ROC curve was 0.98（95% CI 0.96?1.00）in the training set，0.83（95% CI 0.71?0.94）in the validation set，and 0.88（95% CI 0.76?1.00）in the test set. In the test set，the DLR-SCORE model achieved a sensitivity of 88.9%（16/18）and a specificity of 85.9%（140/163）for detecting TFE3-rRCC. Conclusions:The DLR-SCORE model integrating multidimensional CT radiomics features demonstrated favorable predictive performance for TFE3-rRCC，offering a promising noninvasive tool to assist preoperative diagnosis.

Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of novel en-bloc Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate（HoLEP）with complete membranous urethral mucosa sparing technique with traditional 2-lobe technique HoLEP in benign prostatic hyperplasia（BPH）treatment.Methods:The data of BPH patients treated with HoLEP from January 2023 to May 2024 in Xinhua Hospital，School of Medicine，Shanghai Jiaotong University were retrospectively reviewed. Seventy-two patients received novel en-bloc HoLEP with complete membranous urethral mucosa sparing technique（novel en-bloc group），while 79 patients received traditional 2-lobe technique HoLEP（traditional 2-lobe technique group）.There was no significant difference between novel en-bloc group and traditional 2-lobe technique group in the age［（71.0 ± 7.1）years vs.（69.8 ± 6.5）years］，body mass index［（24.5 ± 2.8）kg/m 2 vs.（23.9 ± 3.5）kg/m 2］，international prostate symptom score（IPSS）［26.0（22.0，28.0）vs. 25.0（22.0，28.0）］，quality of life（QOL）score［5.0（5.0，6.0）vs. 5.0（5.0，6.0）］，prostate sepcific antigen（PSA）［4.98（2.40，11.11）ng/ml vs. 4.38（1.62，7.54）ng/ml］and prostate volume［（74.06 ± 42.67）ml vs.（70.10 ± 33.94）ml］（all P > 0.05）. The incidence of acute urinary retention in novel en-bloc group was significantly higher than that in traditional 2-lobe technique group［31.94%（23/72）vs. 17.72%（14/79）， P = 0.042］.The procedure of novel en-bloc was shown as followed：expose the prostatic capsule near the verumontanum and expand the initial capsule plane on both sides. The prostatic urethral mucosa was cut off in a circular pattern medial to the external urethral sphincter，which could form a complete “circular mucosal pad”. Seperate the apical gland along the capsule plane at 12 o’clock and expand the capsule plane until the bladder neck was reached.The bladder neck was then used as a marker so as to separate the glands on both sides along the capsule plane and merge with the initial plane. The entire lobe of the prostate was finally removed along the surgical capsule of the prostate. The procedure of traditional two lobe method was shown as followed：expose the prostatic capsule near the verumontanum and then divide the prostate into two lobes by longitudinal incision at 6 and 12 o’clock. The mucosa was horizontally cut at 12 o’clock，medial to the external urethral sphincter in order to preserve the apical urethral mucosal flap. The twp lobes were then removedd respectively along the capsule layer. The surgery-related indicators，perioperative complications and other data were compared between the two groups，as well as IPSS，QOL score，lower urinary tract symptoms，and the incidence of stress urinary incontinence in the two groups 1 month after surgery. Results:Compared with the patients underwent 2-lobe technique HoLEP，the patients underwent novel en-bloc HoLEP had lower hemoglobin loss［0.50（-5.50，7.50）g/L vs. 7.00（1.00，13.25）g/L， P = 0.003］，lower operation time［（72.06 ± 34.37）min vs.（85.42 ± 40.35）min， P = 0.030］，higher surgical efficacy［（0.72 ± 0.31）g/min vs.（0.55 ± 0.29）g/min， P = 0.002］and lower incidence of stress urinary incontinence one month after operation［2.78%（2/72）vs. 10.13%（8/79）， P = 0.070］. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative gross hematuria［0 vs. 2.53%（2/79）］，postoperative sepsis［1.39%（1/72）vs. 1.27%（1/79）］，postoperative dysuria［4.17%（3/72）vs. 5.06%（4/79）］，postoperative IPSS improvement［12.0（11.0，13.0）vs. 12.0（10.0，14.0）］and postoperative QOL improvement［3.0（2.0，3.0）vs. 3.0（2.0，3.0）］between the two groups（ P > 0.05）. The patients were further divided into 2 sub-groups according to whether prostate volume ≥ 60 ml or not. In the patients of prostate volume < 60 ml，surgical efficacy was significantly higher in novel en-bloc HoLEP group than that in traditional 2-lobe technique group［（0.55 ± 0.25）g/min vs.（0.41 ± 0.19）g/min， P = 0.028］. In the patients of prostate volume ≥ 60 ml，the surgical efficacy of novel en-bloc HoLEP was also higher［（0.88 ± 0.28）g/min vs.（0.66 ± 0.31）g/min， P = 0.006］. Conclusions:Novel en-bloc HoLEP with complete membranous urethral mucosa sparing technique was demonstrated to has lower blood loss，shorter operation time，higher surgical efficacy and lower incidence of stress urinary incontinence，which is suitable of all sizes of prostate.
