Objective To explore the influence of 3D printed individualized tissue compensators on the dose of the radiotherapy target area and the radiotherapy accuracy in intensity-modulated radiotherapy for vul-var carcinoma.Methods Twenty patients with vulvar cancer who visited this hospital from December 2022 to December 2024 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the control group and 3D group accord-ing to the random number table method,10 cases in each group.The control group used the conventional tis-sue compensators,while the 3D group used the 3D printed individualized tissue compensators.The dosimetric results of the target area and normal tissues were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the control group,the maximum dose[(5 501.00+22.12)cGy vs.(5 659.60+84.59)cGy],average dose[(5 203.60+52.45)cGy vs.(5 258.70+42.95)cGy]and dose of 2％target volume[(5 360.30+63.70)cGy vs.(5 408.90+91.90)cGy]in the 3D group were lower,and the homogeneity index(0.12+0.01 vs.0.13+0.02)and conformity index(1.16+0.05 vs.1.23+0.04)were better,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in dose of 30％clinical target volume of the bladder and rectum between the two groups(P＞0.05).During and after radiotherapy,among 20 cases,4 cases presented with grade 3 skin reactions,which were wet peeling,with 2 cases in each of the two groups.The remaining 16 cases had the grade 1 to 2 skin reactions.Conclusion In intensity-modulated radiotherapy for vulvar carcinoma,the dose distribution of 3D-printed personalized tissue compensators is superior to that of conventional organizational compensators.

Objective:Using graph theory analysis, this study compares the topological and node attributes of the brain network to explore the differences in gray matter structural and functional network topological properties between bipolar depression (BD) patients with and without obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS).Methods:A total of 90 BD patients (27 males, 63 females; median age 19.0(22.0, 25.0) years) were recruited from the psychiatric outpatient and inpatient departments of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University between March 2018 and December 2022. Fifty healthy controls (19 males, 31 females; median age: 23.0 (20.0, 27.0) years) were also enrolled. The BD patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of OCS: 53 with OCS (OCS group) and 37 without OCS (NOCS group). Resting-state structural and functional MRI data were collected for all participants to construct gray matter structural and functional networks. Graph therory analysis was applied to calculate network topological metrics such as small-world properties. The structural and functional network topological properties were compared among the BD-OCS, BD-nOCS, and control groups. Partial correlation analysis was conducted to examine the association between network topological metrics with significant group differences and Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) scores. Support vector machines (SVM) were used with these metrics as classification feature values to improve diagnostic accuracy through pairwise group classification.Results:Structural network analysis of gray matter: compared to HC group, both OCS group and NOCS group showed increased shortest path length and standardized characteristic path length (shortest path length: 0.78 and 0.80 vs. 0.69; normalized characteristic path length: 0.48 and 0.49 vs. 0.43), and decreased global efficiency (0.21 and 0.21 vs. 0.24) compared to the HC group (permutation test, all P<0.05). Compared to NOCS and HC groups, the OCS group showed increased nodal centrality and betweenness centrality in the right rolandic operculum and left superior occipital gyrus (permutation test, all P<0.05). Functional network analysis of gray matter: compared to the NOCS group, the OCS group showed increased node efficiency and decreased betweenness centrality in the cerebellum ( t=2.15, -3.04; all P<0.05); compared to HC groups, the OCS group showed decreased betweenness centrality in the cerebellum and left inferior frontal gyrus, along with increased node centrality and nodal efficiency in the right transverse temporal gyrus ( t=-2.99, -3.61, 3.06, 3.10; all P<0.05). In the OCS group, betweenness centrality in the left inferior frontal gyrus positively correlated with Y-BOCS scale obsessive thinking score ( r=0.303, P=0.034). Nodal centrality and node efficiency of the right transverse temporal gyrus negatively correlated with Y-BOCS total score ( r=-0.301, -0.311) and Y-BOCS obsessional thinking scores ( r=-0.385, -0.380) separately(all P<0.05). SVM classification: the combined network features achieved an area under the curve of 0.80 in distinguising OCS from NOCS patients. Conclusion:BD-OCS and BD-nOCS patients both exhibit consistent changes in gray matter structural network topology, with the OCS group displaying more pronounced nodal topological abnormalities. Multi-network feature integration demostrates potential for diagnostic classfication.

The S100 protein family is a key component of damage-associated molecular patterns(DAMP), which play a vital role in regulating inflammation in the body's innate immune response. S100A8/S100A9 proteins play a wide range of antibacterial and anti-infective functions in many diseases, and promote the occurrence and development of the body's immune and inflammatory responses. In various retinal degenerative diseases, S100A8/S100A9 proteins are significantly upregulated at the transcription and translation stages, promoting the activation of inflammatory factors in ocular tissues, the activation and recruitment of immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils, and the occurrence and development of ocular inflammation. This review aimsat explaining the biological functions of S100A8/S100A9 proteins and their roles and possible mechanisms in retinal degenerative diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and ischemic retinopathy.

The polyfoliate perforator flap is a new type of flap that was developed on the basis of the traditional polyfoliate myocutaneous flap, polyfoliate fascial flap and perforator flap. It overturns the traditional idea that the deep fascial vascular network is the fundamental for a survival of the flap, and enables the flaps to achieve the best profile and function of the recipient areas with minimal damage to the donor area. In order to improve the understanding of the polyfoliate perforator flap and further standardise its clinical application, this paper forms a consensus on the definition, classification, indications, operative points and precautions of the polyfoliate perforator flap, so as to provide references in diagnosis and treatment process and practical application for the surgeons.

Objective:To investigate the dynamic brain function changes in adolescent depression patients with or without suicidal ideation, and to explore the characteristics and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and the potential correlation between levels of the hormone cortisol.Methods:From March 2018 to January 2021, the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University conducted a study involving 48 adolescent patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have suicidal ideation(MDD+SI), 38 MDD patients without suicidal ideation(MDD-SI), and 41 healthy control participants(HC). The study utilized resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to analyze the brain activity of these individuals. The dynamic local consistency (dReHo) and dynamic functional connection (dFC) values for the three groups were computed utilizing a sliding time window analysis technique. Blood samples were obtained within 24 hours following the completion of the MRI scan to quantify ACTH and cortisol levels via direct chemiluminescence. A one-way analysis of covariance was employed to compare the dReHo and dFC values among the three groups, while a one-way analysis of variance was utilized to compare the hormone levels across the three groups. Significant differences in dReHo values among the three groups were identified in specific regions, as well as in dFC values, using the least significant differences method correction following inspection ( P<0.05). Additionally, a partial correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between these dynamic indexes and hormone levels. Results:The difference of dReHo values among the three groups was found in the right posterior cerebellum (mainly Crus Ⅱ and Crus I) ( F=9.44, P<0.001), and the left precuneus ( F=10.93, P<0.05). There were significant differences in dFC values between the three groups in the left precuneus and left middle temporal gyrus ( F=9.60, P<0.001), and the left precuneus with bilateral precuneus ( F=9.66, P<0.001). The correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between the decreased dReHo ( r=0.350, P=0.018) variability in the left precuneus, the decreased dFC( r=0.362, P=0.015) variability between the left precuneus and the left middle temporal gyrus (MTG), and the decreased cortisol level( P=0.013, 0.039) in the group of MDD+SI. Conclusion:Adolescents diagnosed with MDD, both with and without suicidal ideation, exhibit dynamic functional alterations in the precuneus and middle temporal gyrus. The cerebellar function changes appear to be unique to those with suicidal ideation. Furthermore, the aberrant dynamic brain function observed in the precuneus and middle temporal gyrus is associated with abnormal cortisol levels in individuals with suicidal ideation.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
