Objective To evaluate the predictive value of different machine learning models constructed in a multicenter environment for potential organ donors and verify their clinical application feasibility. Methods The study included 2 000 inpatients admitted to five domestic tertiary hospitals from January 2020 to December 2023, who met the criteria for potential organ donation assessment. They were randomly divided into a training set and an internal validation set (7∶3). Another 300 similar patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2024 to April 2025 were included as an external validation set. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and F1-score of three models were compared, and the consistency of the potential organ donor determination process was tested. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictive factors of potential organ donors. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was employed to verify the resource efficiency of each model, and the threshold interval and intervention balance point were assessed. Results Apart from age, there were no significant differences in other basic characteristics among the centers (all P>0.05). The consistency of the potential organ donor determination process among researchers in each center was good [all 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limits >0]. In the internal validation set, the XGBoost model had the best predictive performance (AUC=0.92, 95% CI 0.89-0.94) and the best calibration (P=0.441, Brier score 0.099). In the external validation set, the XGBoost model also had the best predictive performance (AUC=0.91, 95% CI 0.88-0.94), outperforming logistic regression and random forest models. Multivariate logistic regression showed that mechanical ventilation had the greatest impact (odds ratio=2.06, 95% CI 1.54-2.76, P<0.001). DCA indicated that the XGBoost model had the highest net benefit in the threshold interval of 0.2-0.6. The “treat all” strategy only had a slight advantage at extremely low thresholds. The recommended threshold interval, which balances intervention costs and clinical benefits, considers ≥50% positive predictive value (PPV) and ≤50 referrals per 100 high-risk patients. Conclusions The XGBoost model established in a multicenter environment is accurate and well-calibrated in predicting potential organ donors. Combined with DCA, it may effectively guide the timing of clinical interventions and resource allocation, providing new ideas for the assessment and management of organ donation after brain death.

Intentional tooth replantation (ITR) is an advanced treatment modality and the procedure of last resort for preserving teeth with inaccessible endodontic or resorptive lesions. ITR is defined as the deliberate extraction of a tooth; evaluation of the root surface, endodontic manipulation, and repair; and placement of the tooth back into its original socket. Case reports, case series, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ITR in the retention of natural teeth that are untreatable or difficult to manage with root canal treatment or endodontic microsurgery. However, variations in clinical protocols for ITR exist due to the empirical nature of the original protocols and rapid advancements in the field of oral biology and dental materials. This heterogeneity in protocols may cause confusion among dental practitioners; therefore, guidelines and considerations for ITR should be explicated. This expert consensus discusses the biological foundation of ITR, the available clinical protocols and current status of ITR in treating teeth with refractory apical periodontitis or anatomical aberration, and the main complications of this treatment, aiming to refine the clinical management of ITR in accordance with the progress of basic research and clinical studies; the findings suggest that ITR may become a more consistent evidence-based option in dental treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of endometriosis (EMT) on oocytes, embryo quality and pregnancy and delivery outcomes in infertility patients treated with in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to select the EMT patients (383 cases, EMT group) and the infertility patients with tubal factor (1 613 cases, control group) who underwent IVF/ICSI-ET treatment in the Department of Reproductive Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2016 to December 2023. The cases were matched with the number of age, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone, proportion of infertility type, duration of infertility, ovulation stimulating therapy, insemination mode, number of previous IVF/ICSI cycles of the two groups by 1∶1 propensity score matching. Totally 285 patients with EMT and 285 patients in control group were finally included to analyze the effects of EMT on embryo quality and pregnancy outcome.Results:1) There were no statistically significant differences in the duration of gonadotropin (Gn) used, the total dosage and the initiating dosage of Gn used, and the levels of estradiol, luteinizing hormone, and progesterone on the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection day between the two groups (all P>0.05). 2) The total number of oocytes (7.48±5.15), the number of MⅡ oocytes (6.38±4.61), the number of transferable embryos (4.16±3.16), the number of high-quality embryos [2.00 (0.00, 3.00)] and the rate of two pronuclei (2PN) high-quality embryos [42.33% (602/1 422)] in EMT group were all lower than those in control group [8.45±4.86, P=0.021; 7.32±4.43, P=0.013; 4.95±3.19, P=0.003; 2.00 (1.00, 4.00), P=0.002; 48.76% (747/1 532), P=0.032], the differences were statistically significant. 3) There were no statistically significant differences in clinical pregnancy rate, embryo implantation rate, premature birth rate, early abortion rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, male/female ratio, number of weeks of delivery and cesarean section rate between the two groups with fresh cycle transplantation and with embryo freezing in fresh cycle and embryo transferred in the first resuscitation cycle (all P>0.05), the live birth rate of EMT patients with fresh cycle transplantation [29.71% (41/138)] was lower than that of control group [48.90% (89/182), P=0.023], and the difference was statistically significant. 4) EMT was not an independent factor of clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate after IVF/ICSI treatment, but age and number of embryos transferred were independent factors of clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate of IVF/ICSI treatment ( OR=0.923, 95% CI: 0.868-0.982, P=0.011; OR=0.890, 95% CI: 0.832-0.952, P=0.001; OR=2.408, 95% CI: 1.331-4.356, P=0.004; OR=3.838, 95% CI: 1.869-7.879, P<0.001). Conclusion:EMT may reduce the number of oocytes and MⅡ oocytes in infertility patients treated with IVF/ICSI-ET, and the quality of embryos in patients with EMT treated with IVF is worse, but it does not affect the clinical pregnancy outcome and delivery outcome in patients with EMT.

Endodontic diseases are a kind of chronic infectious oral disease.Common endodontic treatment concepts are based on the removal of inflamed or necrotic pulp tissue and the replacement by gutta-percha.However,it is very essential for endodontic treatment to debride the root canal system and prevent the root canal system from bacterial reinfection after root canal therapy(RCT).Recent research,encompassing bacterial etiology and advanced imaging techniques,contributes to our understanding of the root canal system's anatomy intricacies and the technique sensitivity of RCT.Success in RCT hinges on factors like patients,infection severity,root canal anatomy,and treatment techniques.Therefore,improving disease management is a key issue to combat endodontic diseases and cure periapical lesions.The clinical difficulty assessment system of RCT is established based on patient conditions,tooth conditions,root canal configuration,and root canal needing retreatment,and emphasizes pre-treatment risk assessment for optimal outcomes.The findings suggest that the presence of risk factors may correlate with the challenge of achieving the high standard required for RCT.These insights contribute not only to improve education but also aid practitioners in treatment planning and referral decision-making within the field of endodontics.

Objective:To explore the early predictive value of umbilical cord blood S100β protein and lactate combined with amplitude integrated electroencephalogram(aEEG)in small for gestational age(SGA)preterm infants with brain injury.Methods:One hundred and six cases of SGA preterm infants were enrolled in this study in Neonatology Department of Inner Mongolia People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. Umbilical cord blood serum S100β protein and lactate at birth of All SGA preterm infants were tested,and aEEG was monitored at 6h and 72 h after birth,corrected gestational age of 32 weeks and 37 weeks. According to the diagnostic criteria of brain injury in preterm infants,SGA preterm infants were divided into brain injury group(45 cases)and non-brain injury group(61 cases),and compared the differences of S100β protein,lactate and the designated time aEEG between the two groups.SGA preterm infants with brain injury were further divided into symmetrical group(28 cases)and non-symmetrical group(15 cases). The differences of umbilical cord blood S100β protein and lactate level between the two groups were compared,and the diagnostic value in different types of SGA preterm infants with brain injury was also compared.Results:SGA preterm infants in the brain injury group had significantly higher levels of umbilical cord blood S100β protein[(0.826±0.218)μg/L vs(0.397±0.196)μg/L, t=8.316, P<0.05]and lactate[(8.5±1.3)mmol/L vs(3.8±0.9)mmol/L, t=3.281, P<0.05]than those in non-brain injury group.Symmetric SGA group had higher level of S100β protein than the asymmetric SGA group[(0.924±0.205)μg/L vs(0.438±0.196)μg/L, t=5.734, P<0.05].But there was no statistically significant difference in lactate levels[(5.6±1.4)mmol/L vs(3.9±1.2)mmol/L, t=0.932, P>0.05]between symmetric SGA group and asymmetric SGA group. The abnormal rates of aEEG in brain injury group and non-brain injury group were respectively 100%(45/45)vs 22.95%(14/61)at 6 h after birth,95.56%(43/45)vs 16.39%(10/61)at 72 h after birth,62.22%(28/45)vs 6.56%(4/61)at 32 weeks of corrected gestational age,22.22%(10/45)vs 3.28%(2/61)at 37 weeks of corrected gestational age. The abnormal rate of brain injury group was higher than the non-brain injury group in the same nodal time,and the differences were statistically significant( χ 2 value respectively 62.292,64.913,38.074,9.257,all P<0.05). Conclusion:There were significant value in umbilical cord blood S100β protein,lactate level and aEEG monitoring in the early diagnosis in preterm infants SGA with brain injury. The combination of the three might be more helpful for the early diagnosis and timely treatment of brain injury in SGA preterm infants.
