Objective:To investigate the correlation between lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) and long-term prognosis after distal cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 186 patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2013 to December 2023. Among them, there were 109 males and 77 females, with an age of (65.4±9.4) years, ranging from 29 to 85 years. The data of preoperative peripheral blood routine examination of the patients were collected, and the patients were divided into a high LMR group(LMR>2.98, n=100) and a low LMR group(LMR≤2.98, n=86). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for inter-group comparison. Measurement data with non-normal distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and Mann-Whitney U test was used for inter-group comparison. Chi-square test was used for inter-group comparison of count data. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used for univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis, and the Kaplan-Meier estimation method was used to create survival curves to analyze and evaluate the influencing factors of long-term prognosis after distal cholangiocarcinoma surgery. Results:Univariate analysis results showed that gender, age, BMI, history of diabetes, carcinoembryonic antigen; operation duration, intraoperative blood loss; resection margin status, degree of tumor cell differentiation, and presence of postoperative complications had no statistically significant differences in their impact on the prognosis of patients after distal cholangiocarcinoma surgery( P>0.05). In contrast, LMR, neutrophilto-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, albumin, total bilirubin, carbohydrate antigen 199, intraoperative blood transfusion, tumor diameter, and lymph node metastasis showed statistically significant differences in their influence on the postoperative prognosis of distal cholangiocarcinoma patients( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis results indicated that LMR≤2.98( HR=1.776, 95% CI: 1.153-2.736), CA19-9>37 U/mL( HR=1.521, 95% CI: 1.025-2.259), and lymph node metastasis( HR=1.601, 95% CI: 1.106-2.318) were independent risk factors affecting patient prognosis( P<0.05). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year cumulative survival rates in the high LMR group were 91%, 40%, and 20% respectively, while those in the low LMR group were 58.1%, 15.1%, and 8.1% respectively, with a statistically significant difference( P<0.05). Conclusion:Preoperative LMR for distal cholangiocarcinoma can suggest a long-term prognosis, and a low LMR value suggests a poor prognosis.

The term yin excess originated in the Huang Di Nei Jing, which refers to the phenomenon of "heavy yin" when wind pathogens invades the human body and defensive qi enters the yin part of the human body. Later doctors have played a role in yin excess. Theoretically, yin and yang are out of balance in the human body, and yin is too much and yang is not enough, which is the process of physiological transformation to pathology; from the diagnosis point of view, patients with yin deficiency have less pulse and more blood; from the clinical manifestations, patients with yin excess appear cold from the back, hands and feet cold reverse; from the point of view of treatment, bitter cold products can cause yin excess. Modern research specifies yin as phlegm, dampness, stasis and other pathological products, and emphasize the relation between yin excess and yang deficiency. Yin excess includes pathological factors such as phlegm stasis cold, external cold straight in the liver wood, set in the hypochasm, resulting in mass; or overthinking and cold drink injury spleen, phlegm turbidiousness, long and hard phlegm forming lumps, thus resulting yin excess; or it may deplete the yang energy of the heart, leading to neglect of the warming function and stagnation of blood stasis; or if the kidney yang is deficient and the body lacks warmth, and there is no true yang in the ridge, then the wood will sink and congest blood stasis; the above etiology and pathogenesis lead to the occupation of yin pathogens, resulting in liver cancer. The treatment methods include liver cold turbidizing, warming liver and dispelling cold, with Wuzhuyu Decoction; spleen-deficiency phlegm production, the treatment should be warm the middle and resolving the phlegm, with Linggui Zhugan Decoction and Zhenwu Decoction; Yang deficiency and stasis, the treatment should warm kidney to remove blood stasis, with Poyu Decoction.

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, and Qwen are emerging as transformative technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. With their exceptional long-context reasoning capabilities, LLMs are proficient in clinically relevant tasks, particularly in medical text analysis and interactive dialogue. They can enhance diagnostic accuracy by processing vast amounts of patient data and medical literature and have demonstrated their utility in diagnosing common diseases and facilitating the identification of rare diseases by recognizing subtle patterns in symptoms and test results. Building on their image-recognition abilities, multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) show promising potential for diagnosis based on radiography, chest computed tomography (CT), electrocardiography (ECG), and common pathological images. These models can also assist in treatment planning by suggesting evidence-based interventions and improving clinical decision support systems through integrated analysis of patient records. Despite these promising developments, significant challenges persist regarding the use of LLMs in medicine, including concerns regarding algorithmic bias, the potential for hallucinations, and the need for rigorous clinical validation. Ethical considerations also underscore the importance of maintaining the function of supervision in clinical practice. This paper highlights the rapid advancements in research on the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of LLMs across different medical disciplines and emphasizes the importance of policymaking, ethical supervision, and multidisciplinary collaboration in promoting more effective and safer clinical applications of LLMs. Future directions include the integration of proprietary clinical knowledge, the investigation of open-source and customized models, and the evaluation of real-time effects in clinical diagnosis and treatment practices.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Radiation pneumonitis is a major complication in lung cancer radiotherapy. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) imaging provides dynamic ventilation information, which is valuable for lung function assessment and radiation pneumonitis prevention. Many methods have been developed to calculate lung ventilation from 4DCT, but a systematic comparison is lacking. Prediction of radiation pneumonitis using 4DCT-based ventilation is still in an early stage, and no comprehensive review exists. This paper presented the first systematic comparison of functional lung ventilation algorithms based on 4DCT over the past 15 years, highlighting their clinical value and limitations. It then reviewed multimodal approaches combining 4DCT ventilation imaging, dose metrics, and clinical data for radiation pneumonitis prediction. Finally, it summarized current research and future directions of 4DCT in lung cancer radiotherapy, offering insights for clinical practice and further studies.

Most current medical image segmentation models are primarily built upon the U-shaped network (U-Net) architecture, which has certain limitations in capturing both global contextual information and fine-grained details. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel U-shaped network model, termed the Multi-View U-Net (MUNet), which integrates self-attention and multi-view attention mechanisms. Specifically, a newly designed multi-view attention module is introduced to aggregate semantic features from different perspectives, thereby enhancing the representation of fine details in images. Additionally, the MUNet model leverages a self-attention encoding block to extract global image features, and by fusing global and local features, it improves segmentation performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves superior segmentation performance in coronary artery image segmentation tasks, significantly outperforming existing models. By incorporating self-attention and multi-view attention mechanisms, this study provides a novel and efficient modeling approach for medical image segmentation, contributing to the advancement of intelligent medical image analysis.

At present, research on the efficacy of local physical cooling devices is mainly based on clinical observation, but there is relatively little research on evaluating the effectiveness of local cold therapy cooling and the penetration depth. This study is based on the research of the structure and morphology of local muscle tissue in the human body, as well as the heat transfer characteristics and mechanisms of the human body. A simulation phantom of human muscle tissue under temperature cycling was created, and the differences in evaluating the effectiveness of local cold therapy between the human body and the simulation phantom were compared. This provides a new evaluation method for evaluating the cooling effectiveness of local physical cooling equipment.

OBJECTIVE To compare the predictive accuracy and clinical applicability of four vancomycin individualized dosing tools （SmartDose， ClinCalc， Gulou， Pharmado） and provide a basis for rational clinical medication use. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted， enrolling 479 adult patients who received vancomycin therapy and underwent steady-state trough concentration monitoring in Zhongshan Hospital， Fudan University （Xiamen Branch） from January 1， 2022， to June 30， 2024. The predictive accuracy of each tool was evaluated using indicators， such as mean error （ME）, mean absolute error （MAE）， mean percentage error （MPE）， mean absolute percentage error （MAPE）， the proportion of patients with an absolute percentage error （APE） of less than 30%， the 95% limits of agreement， and the overall relative percentage difference between predicted and measured values. Using indicators such as accessibility， patient management， and recommendation of multiple treatment options， the clinical panxso@163.com applicability of the tools for all patients was evaluated； using the discrepancy in accuracy between the predicted and actual measured blood drug concentrations as an indicator， the clinical applicability was assessed for patients in different renal function subgroups （hyperfunction， normal， mild impairment， moderate impairment， and severe impairment）. RESULTS In terms of accuracy， SmartDose demonstrated the best overall performance with an MAPE of 46.40% and a proportion of APE ＜30% （46.56%）. Bland-Altman analysis indicated that SmartDose had the smallest overall relative percentage difference （－7.25%）， although the 95% limits of agreement were broad for all tools， with differences between the upper and lower limits exceeding 200%. In terms of applicability， all four dosing tools were freely accessible and demonstrated good availability； SmartDose and Pharmado provided the most comprehensive solutions， offering features such as patient management， multiple regimen recommendations， and drug concentration-time curve plotting. Stratified analysis based on renal function revealed that Pharmado showed optimal prediction for hyperfiltration patients （mean difference： 0.11 mg/L）. SmartDose and ClinCalc showed relatively better performance in normal and mild renal impaiment （mean difference： 0.37， 0.51 mg/L and －1.13， －1.33 mg/L，respectively）. SmartDose performed best in moderate renal impairment （mean difference： －2.60 mg/L）. Pharmado and Gulou had smaller prediction biases in severe renal impairment （mean differences： 1.52 mg/L and －0.23 mg/L， respectively）. CONCLUSIONS The four individualized dosing tools demonstrated limited accuracy in the initial prediction of vancomycin concentrations. Among them， SmartDose demonstrates the highest overall prediction accuracy and possesses comprehensive clinical management features. It is recommended that Pharmado be preferred for patients with renal hyperfiltration； SmartDose or ClinCalc can be used for patients with normal or mildly impaired renal function； SmartDose is recommended for patients with moderately impaired renal function； Pharmado or Gulou may be considered for patients with severely impaired renal function.

OBJECTIVE: This study reports the first imported case of Lassa fever (LF) in China. Laboratory detection and molecular epidemiological analysis of the Lassa virus (LASV) from this case offer valuable insights for the prevention and control of LF. METHODS: Samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood, urine, saliva, and environmental materials were collected from the patient and their close contacts for LASV nucleotide detection. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on positive samples to analyze the genetic characteristics of the virus. RESULTS: LASV was detected in the patient's CSF, blood, and urine, while all samples from close contacts and the environment tested negative. The virus belongs to the lineage IV strain and shares the highest homology with strains from Sierra Leone. The variability in the glycoprotein complex (GPC) among different strains ranged from 3.9% to 15.1%, higher than previously reported for the seven known lineages. Amino acid mutation analysis revealed multiple mutations within the GPC immunogenic epitopes, increasing strain diversity and potentially impacting immune response. CONCLUSION The case was confirmed through nucleotide detection, with no evidence of secondary transmission or viral spread. The LASV strain identified belongs to lineage IV, with broader GPC variability than previously reported. Mutations in the immune-related sites of GPC may affect immune responses, necessitating heightened vigilance regarding the virus.

OBJECTIVE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can result in fatigue and post-exertional malaise; however, whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection exacerbates lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is unclear. This study investigated the association between prenatal SARS-CoV-2 infection and postpartum LUTS. METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted at two tertiary hospitals in China from November 1, 2022, to November 1, 2023. Participants were classified into infected and uninfected groups based on SARS-CoV-2 antigen results. LUTS prevalence and severity were assessed using self-reported symptoms and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form (IIQ-7). Pelvic floor muscle activity was measured using electromyography following the Glazer protocol. Group comparisons were performed to evaluate the association of SARS-CoV-2 infection with LUTS and electromyography parameters, with stratified analyses conducted using SPSS version 26.0. RESULTS: Among 3,652 participants (681 infected, 2,971 uninfected), no significant differences in LUTS prevalence or IIQ-7 scores were observed. However, SARS-CoV-2 infection was an independent factor influencing the electromyographic activity of the pelvic floor muscles (mean tonic contraction amplitudes), regardless of delivery mode ( P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Prenatal SARS-CoV-2 infection was not significantly associated with an increased risk of postpartum LUTS but independently altered pelvic floor muscle electromyographic activity, suggesting potential neuromuscular effects.
