Purpose To explore the clinical and pathological features,differential diagnosis,treatment methods and prognosis of urachal adenocarcinoma.Methods Nineteen cases of urachal adenocarcinoma were collected and an-alyzed by combining clinical symptoms,auxiliary examinations,histology,immunohistochemical,and genetic testing and 11 cases of bladder adenocarcinomas.Results Among the 19 patients(15 males,4 females;age range:33-75 years,mean:55 years),tumors were located at the dome or anterior wall of the bladder.Histological subtypes includ-ed mucinous adenocarcinoma(6 cases),adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified(4 cases),enteric-type adenocarci-noma(6 cases),adenocarcinoma with focal mucinous differentiation(1 case),adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cell carcinoma(1 case),and metastatic urachal adenocarcinoma(1 case).Immunophenotypic analysis revealed membra-nous positivity for β-catenin,diffuse positivity for CK34βE 12,MUC-2,and CK20,focal CK7 positivity in some cases,and rare GATA-3 positivity.Mutations in p53 were observed,while KRAS,NRAS,BRAF,and PIK3CA mutations were absent.In colorectal adenocarcinomas,CK34βE12 positivity was 40%,nuclear β-catenin positivity was 48%,and MUC-2 expression was approximately 50%.In bladder adenocarcinomas,GATA-3 and MUC-2 positivity rates were 45%and 63.6%,respectively.Conclusion Distinguishing urachal adenocarcinoma from colorectal and primary bladder adenocarcinomas remains challenging.Urachal adenocarcinoma should be suspected in patients with anterior bladder wall or dome lesions,gross hematuria,or mucinuria.No definitive diagnostic markers currently exist for ura-chal adenocarcinoma.Immunophenotypic features such as membranous β-catenin,MUC-2,and CK7 positivity may fa-vor urachal adenocarcinoma over colorectal adenocarcinoma.Additional markers(e.g.,GATA-3,CK20,CK34βE12)aid in differential diagnosis,though individual markers lack specificity.Comprehensive evaluation integrating clinical presentation,imaging,and clinicopathological features is essential for accurate diagnosis.

Objective To construct a high-precision statistical shape model of the humerus and systematically describe its anatomical variation patterns.Methods In this study,a statistical shape model of the humerus was constructed using the three-dimensional model data of 60 collected humerus cases.The principal component analysis method was adopted to reveal the main patterns of humerus anatomical variations and their contribution rates.Results The results showed that the first five principal components(PC01-PC05)collectively explained 96.6%of the total anatomical variations.Among them,PC01 and PC02 were the main components,contributing 66.6%and 23.5%of the variations respectively.PC01 mainly reflects the scaling effect of the overall size(length/width)of the humerus,while PC02 reveals the length variation characteristics independent of the overall scaling,which may reflect individualized differences.The subsequent principal components(PC03-PC05)depicted the local morphological characteristics and fine changes of the proximal and distal humerus.Conclusion The statistical shape model constructed in this study provides a reliable digital basis for personalized prosthesis design,surgical planning and biomechanical simulation.

Poly amino acids are a class of polymers composed of α-amino acids as structural units linked by peptide bonds, exhibiting structural similarity to natural proteins. This class can be degraded into polypeptides, amino acids, and small molecules, demonstrating unique advantages in the field of bone repair. Various functionalized amino acid monomers and their polymerization methods have been developed, primarily including ring-opening polymerization, polycondensation, enzymatic catalysis, and solid-phase synthesis. These methods enable the polymerization of poly glutamic acid, poly lysine, poly aspartic acid, and others into polypeptides to meet the requirements for bone injury repair. However, as the number of amino acids increases and the polypeptide chains extend, molecular chains can form secondary structures such as α-helices and β-sheets through non-covalent interactions like hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. These structures play a decisive role in the bioactivity and functionality of poly(amino acid). Therefore, the function of poly(amino acid) is highly dependent on its monomer composition, sequence, secondary structure, and charge characteristics, allowing precise design to effectively regulate biological effects. Nevertheless, the major challenges in applying poly (amino acid) to bone defect repair remain unresolved, namely scalable production and long-term safety and efficacy. It is believed that, with interdisciplinary integration, a new generation of poly(amino acid) materials, combining excellent properties, bioactivity, and smart-responsive traits, is expected to advance bone repair strategies toward precision, personalization, and efficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of three mainstream large language models (LLMs) in the review of drug reimbursement indications in hospitals, and to explore their potential in improving audit quality and efficiency, thereby safeguarding the medical insurance fund.Methods:A total of 3 247 outpatient prescription records were retrospectively collected from a specialized oncology hospital between January 2, 2022, and June 30, 2023. Manual assessment of the consistency between clinical diagnoses and drug reimbursement indications was used as the gold standard. Three LLMs, Baidu′s ERNIE Bot, Alibaba′s Tongyi Qianwen, and OpenAI′s ChatGPT-4o, were evaluated on the same task. Performance metrics included accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, and area under the curve (AUC).Results:The ERNIE Bot model returned 3 242 valid data, which took 314 min; The Tongyi Qianwen model returned a total of 3 162 valid data, taking 384 min; The ChatGPT-4o model returned a total of 3 218 valid data, taking 150 min. ChatGPT-4o demonstrated the best performance, with an accuracy of 88.41%, precision of 60.48%, sensitivity of 78.75%, specificity of 90.24%, F1 score of 0.68, and an AUC of 0.88.Conclusions:LLMs demonstrate stable performance in determining whether prescriptions align with reimbursement indications, with ChatGPT-4o approaching human-level accuracy and exhibiting more conservative specificity. These findings suggest that LLMs have practical value as auxiliary tools in drug indication reviews, contributing to improved audit efficiency and more refined management of medical insurance funds.
