Objective: This study explored whether anxiety and core self-evaluation mediate the relationship between negative life events and depressive symptoms in adolescents of the Yi ethnic minority in China. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a convenience sample of 627 Yi adolescents 10–19 years old (252 males, 40.2%) from primary, middle and high schools in Liangshan Prefecture in China completed the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC) to report on negative life events, the Second Edition of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) to report on depressive symptoms, the Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES) to describe core self-evaluation, and the Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) to report anxiety symptoms. Results: In Pearson correlation analysis, total score and dimension subscores on the ASLEC correlated positively with total score and dimension subscores on the SCARED survey as well as with total score on the BDI. Total ASLEC score and dimension subscores correlated negatively with total CSES score. Mediation analysis indicated that negative life events affected depressive symptoms directly, as well as indirectly via core self-evaluation (mediating effect was 0.087; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.063–0.113; p<0.001). The chain-mediated pathway effect was significant (mediating effect was 0.017; 95% CI, 0.011–0.026; p<0.001). Conclusion Yi adolescents in Liangshan Prefecture show certain prevalence of anxiety and depression, and they score relatively low on core self-evaluation. In this ethnic group, negative life events can affect depressive symptoms directly as well as indirectly through chain-mediated effects of anxiety and core self-evaluation.

Objective To explore the materials and embolization technique employed in precision superselective transarterial embolization for the treatment of acute renal hemorrhage.Methods The data of 50 patients with acute renal hemorrhage who underwent precision superselective transarterial embolization were retrospectively analyzed.The angiographic findings,embolic materials and embolization methods were collected.The main outcome measures were technical success rate,clinical efficacy and renal function.Results In this study,44 patients had positive angiographic findings.The clinical success rate was 90.9%(40/44)after first precision superselective transarterial embolization.In patients of failure of first embolization,3 patients underwent successful repeated embolization and 1 patient refused repeat embolization.Empirical embolization was carried out among the 6 patients with negative angiographic findings.In 32 patients with complete data for estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),there was no statistical difference before and those measured 7 d after precision superselective transarterial embolization.Conclusion Precision superselective transarterial embolization technique is an effective method for the treatment of acute renal hemorrhage,preserving renal function.

METHODS: We retrospectively collected CT scan data from 276 patients with pathologically confirmed primary bone tumors from 4 medical centers in Guangdong Province between January, 2010 and August, 2021. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was employed as the deep learning architecture. The optimal baseline deep learning model (R-Net) was determined through transfer learning, and an optimized model (S-Net) was obtained through algorithmic improvements. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the clinical features such as sex, age, mineralization location, and pathological fractures, which were then connected with the imaging features to construct the deep learning fusion model (SC-Net). The diagnostic performance of the SC-Net model and machine learning models were compared with radiologists' diagnoses, and their classification performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and F1 score. RESULTS: In the external test set, the fusion model (SC-Net) achieved the best performance with an AUC of 0.901 (95% CI: 0.803-1.00), an accuracy of 83.7% (95% CI: 69.3%-93.2%) and an F1 score of 0.857, and outperformed the S-Net model with an AUC of 0.818 (95% CI: 0.694-0.942), an accuracy of 76.7% (95% CI: 61.4%-88.2%), and an F1 score of 0.828. The overall classification performance of the fusion model (SC-Net) exceeded that of radiologists' diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS The deep learning fusion model based on multi-center CT images and clinical features is capable of accurate classification of osseous and chondroid matrix mineralization and may potentially improve the accuracy of clinical diagnoses of osteogenic versus chondrogenic primary bone tumors.

Objective To observe the feasibility and safety of CT-guided fine-needle assisted localization for puncturing difficult lung or liver lesions.Methods Data of 30 patients with single difficult lung or liver lesion,i.e.lesion located at difficult part for puncturing or deep lesion with diameter of 0.5-2.0 cm who underwent CT-guided 22G needle assisted localization before puncturing were retrospectively analyzed.The success rate of fine-needle assisted localization,the success rate of the first-time puncturing and the occurrence of complications were recorded.Results Among 30 difficult lesions,there were 27 lung lesions and 3 hepatic lesions,with a mean diameter of(1.0±0.4)cm.Assisted localization of difficult lesions were successfully performed with 22G needle under CT guidance at the edge of lesion,1 cm adjacent to lesion or at the puncture path,with success rate of fine-needle assisted localization of 100%,and no obvious complication happened.The followed operations included preoperative localization of 14 lung nodules,biopsy of 10 lung nodules and 3 liver nodules,as well as microwave ablation of 3 liver nodules,with the success rate of the first-time puncturing of 100%.Mild pneumothorax was observed in 3 cases(3/27,11.11%)of difficult lung lesions after biopy.No other obvious complication occurred.Conclusion CT-guided fine-needle assisted localization for percutaneous puncturing difficult lung or liver lesions was feasible and safe.
