To investigate the risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) following the use of amphotericin B deoxycholate and to develop a predictive model to guide clinical monitoring and intervention. A retrospective analysis was conducted on hospitalized patients who received amphotericin B deoxycholate between January 2014 and September 2024. Patients were divided into a training set and a validation set. Demographic data, laboratory findings, and medication orders were collected. Based on the occurrence of AKI during treatment and within 7 days after discontinuation, patients were classified into an AKI group and a non-AKI group. Univariate analysis was used to screen for potential risk factors, multivariate logistic regression was employed to construct a predictive model, and model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. The training set included 473 patients, comprising 255 males (53.91%) and 218 females (46.09%), with a median age of 52(35, 62) years. The AKI group consisted of 191 cases (40.38%), and the non-AKI group consisted of 282 cases (59.62%). The validation set included 114 patients, comprising 80 males (70.18%) and 34 females (29.82%), with a median age of 43.5 (31.0, 58.5) years. The AKI group consisted of 42 cases (36.84%), and the non-AKI group consisted of 72 cases (63.16%). Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences between the two groups in 23 factors (all Admission to the ICU, elevated serum creatinine at admission, and comorbid cardiac insufficiency as potential risk factors for AKI, while prophylactic use of diphenhydramine/promethazine or sodium bicarbonate showed a protective association. A predictive model with good discrimina-tion and calibration was developed, which may provide a basis for early identification of high-risk patients and timely adjustment of treatment strategies in clinical practice.

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by age-inappropriate inattention, excessive activities incongruous with setting, and emotional impulsivity. Subthreshold ADHD (sADHD) is clinically defined as the presence of ADHD symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Children with sADHD exhibit deficits in executive function, demonstrate more conduct, learning, and anxiety-related problems compared to typically developing children, and show even poorer working memory performance than children diagnosed with ADHD. Currently, there is limited epidemiological research on sADHD in China, with few studies simultaneously investigating the prevalence of both ADHD and sADHD in children. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of ADHD and sADHD among children aged 6–13 years in Chongqing, analyzing their distribution characteristics within this population, with the aim of providing references for developing preventive measures against both ADHD and sADHD. MethodsFrom October to November 2023, a total of 3 398 students in grades 1–6 from six primary schools in Jiangbei District, Chongqing were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The occurrence of ADHD and sADHD was evaluated by using the short version (18-item version) of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham IV rating scales (SNAP-IV) and the Chinese vision of Schedule for Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia for School-aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). ResultsThe ADHD detection rate among children in Chongqing was 1.90% (95% CI: 0.014–0.024). Boys showed a significantly higher ADHD detection rate than girls (χ2=7.733, P=0.005). No statistically significant differences were found in ADHD detection rates across different grades or age groups (χ2=7.347, 12.362, P>0.05). The sADHD detection rate was 6.32% (95% CI: 0.054–0.072). Similarly, boys exhibited significantly higher sADHD detection rates than girls (χ2=21.005, P<0.01). Significant differences emerged across different grades (χ2=20.559, P=0.001), while no statistically significant difference was observed in age groups (χ2=12.070, P=0.060). ConclusionThe ADHD detection rates were comparable across all grade levels and age groups from 6–13 years old. Second-grade children demonstrated notably higher sADHD rates compared to other grades, while boys demonstrated higher prevalence rates than girls for both ADHD and sADHD.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of transnasal endoscopic clipping of the paraclival internal carotid artery (ICA) in skull base surgery.Methods:The paraclival ICA was anatomically dissected in cadaveric head specimens. The clinical data of 15 patients with skull base lesions involving the ICA who admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 4 patients underwent transnasal endoscopic clipping of the paraclival ICA and concurrent lesion resection. The surgical methods were summarized, and the key points and indications of this technique were analyzed.Results:Intraoperative clipping of the ICA was successful and hemostatic in all 4 patients. Postoperatively, 3 patients had no complications, while 1 patient developed delayed ischemic cerebral infarction. Two patients were cured, 1 patient was maintained on immunotherapy, and 1 patient died. During follow-up, the clip was in situ in 1 patient, had detached in another, and was obscured by temporal muscle coverage in the remaining 2 patients.Conclusions:Transnasal endoscopic clipping of the paraclival ICA represents a potential option for managing the ICA in skull base surgery. However, it carries significant risks and limitations, mandating careful patient selection based on specific circumstances.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for patients with hypertriglyceridemia-related acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) developing into severe acute pancreatitis or experiencing organ failure.Methods:This retrospective cohort study collected clinical data from 2 429 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis from five hospitals in China between January 2019 and December 2023 using a pre-designed data collection form. The cohort included 1 516 males and 913 females,with an age of (50.2±16.5)years(range: 11 to 99 years). Among them,353 patients (16.1%) had HTG-AP,while 1 846 (83.9%) had non-HTG-AP. HTG-AP was defined as serum triglyceride levels>500 mg/dl with other etiologies excluded. Intergroup comparisons were performed using t-tests,Mann-Whitney U test or χ2 tests,respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess risk factors for severe acute pancreatitis after adjusting for potential confounders,and a predictive model was developed and validated. Results:Compared with other etiologies,HTG-AP patients had a higher risk of progressing to SAP ( OR=1.415,95% CI: 0.866 to 2.312, P=0.017) and organ failure ( OR=1.256,95% CI: 1.015 to 1.554, P=0.036). Among HTG-AP patients,risk factors for SAP included body mass index ( OR=1.856,95% CI: 1.742 to 1.987, P=0.033),fasting blood glucose ( OR=1.128,95% CI: 1.036 to 1.229, P=0.006),white blood cell count( OR=1.162,95% CI: 1.055 to 1.281, P=0.002),and the presence of pleural effusion ( OR=13.151,95% CI: 4.330 to 19.946, P<0.01). A nomogram prediction model for SAP in HTG-AP was constructed based on these risk factors,demonstrating good discriminative ability with area under the curve values of 0.877 in the training set and 0.894 in the validation set,along with satisfactory calibration. Conclusions:HTG-AP patients are at higher risk of developing SAP and organ failure. The risk prediction model incorporating body mass index,fasting blood glucose,white blood cell count,and pleural effusion shows good predictive value for SAP.

Objective:To explore the structural relationship between WMSDs in the upper limbs and various risk factors in the occupational population in China, based on a large sample epidemiological survey and structural equation analysis, and to establish a structural equation model, so as to lay a foundation for the prevention and control of such diseases.Methods:The Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire was used to conduct a nationwide survey on the prevalence of WMSDs in the upper extremity. Six factors related to WMSDs in the upper extremity were extracted by the classification standard of adverse ergonomic factors and their source and confirmatory factor analysis, including work organization, work type, upper extremity work posture, individual factors, upper extremity fatigue and upper extremity WMSDs. The structural equation analysis was carried out and the structural equation model was established.Results:The incidence of WMSDs and fatigue in the upper limbs was 24.44% and 43.76%, respectively. The adjusted structural equation model fitting indicators were generally up to the standard (GFI=1.000, AGFI=1.000, RMSEA=0.043, NFI=0.808, TLI=0.784) . The four exogenous latent variables of work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and individual factors were correlated. There was a strong positive correlation between job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.865) , a moderate positive correlation between work organization and job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.570, 0.490) , and a weak negative correlation between individual factors and the other three exogenous latent variables. Upper limb work posture and individual factors had direct effects on upper limb WMSDs, and the effect coefficients were 0.10 and 0.06, respectively. Upper limb fatigue played a mediating role between work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and upper limb WMSDs. The effect coefficient was 0.46, and the composition ratios of indirect effects were 100.0%, 100.0%, and 38.3%, respectively. The direct path effect of upper limb work posture, individual factors and upper limb WMSDs was weaker than the mediating path through upper limb fatigue. Conclusion:When carrying out the prevention and control of upper limbWMSDs, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pathogenesis path of upper limb muscle fatigue and upper limb WMSDs caused by work organization, work type, and upper limb work posture, so as to provide theoretical reference for improving the prevention and control level of such diseases.

Objective:To construct a thyroid nodule segmentation model using ultrasound dynamic images and explore its potential for assisting in the screening of thyroid nodules.Methods:A total of 126 patients with thyroid nodules(comprising 150 nodules)who were diagnosed and treated at Xuzhou Cancer Hospital from April 2024 to December 2024 were prospectively enrolled. Two-dimensional ultrasound was performed to capture short-axis and long-axis video images of thyroid nodules,forming a dynamic ultrasound image dataset. The dataset was divided into training,validation,and test sets in a ratio of 6∶1∶3. After the training loss curve converged,the model that performed well on the validation set was selected for testing. Three-fold cross-validation was employed for training and testing. All 300 ultrasound videos were divided into three subsets. In each experiment,two subsets were used as the training set,and one subset was used as the test set to evaluate the model's generalization ability. A collaborative spatiotemporal diffusion model was established based on the dynamic trends and tissue texture details of thyroid nodules. Six widely used segmentation metrics were employed to evaluate the model's application capabilities.Results:The study included 126 patients with 150 thyroid nodules,300 dynamic ultrasound images,and video lengths of 3-4 seconds per nodule,resulting in 12 312 segmented images. The size of the thyroid nodules was(10.7 ± 10.6)mm(transverse diameter)×(8.4 ± 6.3)mm(anteroposterior diameter). Among the nodules,62(41.3%)had clear boundaries,while 88(58.7%)had indistinct boundaries;61(40.7%)exhibited regular shapes,while 89(59.3%)were irregular;66(44.0%)had a taller-than-wide aspect ratio;and 70(46.7%)showed microcalcifications. The collaborative diffusion model based on dynamic ultrasound image segmentation achieved the following scores:a Jaccard score of(69.22 ± 0.03)%,a Dice score of(79.16 ± 0.18)%,a Precision score of(86.70 ± 0.17)%,a Recall score of(77.82 ± 0.04)%,an Sα score of(85.26 ± 0.01)%,and an Eθmn score of(90.58 ± 0.17)%. Compared to other models,this model demonstrated significant improvements across all evaluation metrics,achieving the highest values in each metric with increments of over 8% and 1%,respectively. Conclusions:The collaborative diffusion model with a dynamic controller,constructed based on dynamic ultrasound images of thyroid nodules,demonstrates excellent performance in ultrasound image segmentation. It improves the accuracy of thyroid nodule screening,thereby providing a valuable auxiliary diagnostic tool for clinical practice.

Sacroiliac complex injuries are commonly seen in high-energy pelvic fractures. The injuries make a big difference in treatment patterns due to the diverse injury types, posing considerable challenges in formulating optimal treatment strategies, and hence are persistent clinical difficulties in orthopedic trauma. The clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries presents several key challenges such as a non-negligible rate of missed diagnoses in associated vascular and visceral injuries, absence of standardized protocols for surgical approaches and reduction-fixation strategies across different injury patterns, and ongoing controversies regarding surgical indications and optimal timing for patients combined with concomitant lumbosacral plexus injuries. Currently, no systematic clinical guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries both domestically and internationally. To this end, the Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Group, Orthopedic Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Orthopedic Physician Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized a panel of domestic experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medicine and adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, clinical applicability, and innovation. These guidelines provided 11 recommendations covering diagnosis, therapeutic principles and techniques, management protocols for lumbosacral plexus injuries, outcome evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation pathways, etc., aiming to standardize the clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries.

Objective:This study aimed to clarify clinicopathologic characteristics, postoperative complications, and related risk factors of elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods:A total of 395 patients(≥65 years old)who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in Beijing Hospital from January 2014 to December 2021 were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into the common elderly group(age<80 years, n=340)and the high-age group(age ≥ 80 years, n=55). Postoperative complications were classified into medical and surgical types.The clinicopathological characteristics and complications were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression models(univariate and multivariate)were used to identify the risk factors for postoperative complications.Results:The common elderly group was 65-79 years old(mean age: 71.5±4.3 years), with 263 male(77.4%); The high-age group was 80-89 years old(mean age: 82.6±2.6 years), with 42 male(76.4%). The comorbidity rate and the number of comorbidities in the high-age group were significantly higher than those in the common elderly group.The American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)scores and nutritional risk screening(NRS)2002 scores in the high-age group were significantly higher than those in the common elderly group(both P<0.05), and the activities of daily living(ADL)scores in the high-age group were significantly lower than that in the common elderly group( P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in tumor location, degree of differentiation, pathological type, T stage, and N stage between the two groups(all P>0.05). The overall postoperative complication rate in the high-age group was significantly higher than that in the common elderly group(38.2% vs.24.7%, P=0.036); the medical complications were significantly increased in the high-age group(21.8% vs.10.9%, P=0.022), whereas the surgical complications did not increase significantly(25.5% vs.17.1%, P=0.135). Multivariate analysis revealed that the number of comorbidities ≥2( HR=2.502, 95% CI: 1.275-4.911, P=0.008), preoperative NRS 2002 scores ≥5( HR=2.714, 95% CI1.294-5.693, P=0.008), and preoperative ADL scores<100( HR=2.012, 95% CI1.010-4.009, P=0.047)were independent risk factors for medical complications.Additionally, ASA grade ≥ 3( HR=2.586, 95% CI: 1.444-4.632, P=0.001)and proximal or distal gastrectomy( HR=2.397, 95% CI: 1.237-4.574, P=0.009)were independent risk factors for surgical complications. Conclusions:The occurrence of postoperative medical complications in very elderly patients with gastric cancer undergoing radical surgery has increased, while the rate of surgical complications has not increased.Moreover, advanced age itself is not an independent risk factor for postoperative complications.More attention should be paid to medical complications, and the management of commodities and nutritional support should be strengthened during the perioperative period.
