Distal cholangiocarcinoma （dCCA） often has subtle symptoms in its early stage， and the optimal surgical timing is often missed at the time of diagnosis. This article reports a patient with dCCA who attended the hospital due to obstructive jaundice. Although the patient had a history of liver fluke infection and positive serological results， persistent stricture of the common bile duct remained unrelieved after adequate drainage and infection control. Due to the longitudinal growth pattern of the tumor， multiple endoscopic biopsies yielded false-negative results. Multidisciplinary consultation recommended a 1-month follow-up， but the patient failed to return to hospital for review and was found to have liver metastasis （stage Ⅳ） at the time of confirmed diagnosis， and thus the patient missed the opportunity for radical surgery. This article summarizes the common pitfalls and lessons in the early diagnosis of dCCA and proposes that for highly suspected cases in clinical practice， it is crucial to conduct multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment， integrate dynamic imaging and tumor marker monitoring， and implement proactive structured evaluations， so as to avoid diagnostic and therapeutic delays and ultimately improve the prognosis of patients.

AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness of EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulation system as a training platform for fundus examination skills of general practitioner.METHODS:Prospective randomized study. A total of 40 general practitioners who received clinical ophthalmology training at Shenzhen Eye Hospital from January 2021 to December 2024 were selected and randomly divided into two groups by random number table method, with 20 cases in the study group and 20 cases in the control group. The study group was trained by EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulation system and the control group was trained by conventional teaching. Training effects of the two groups were analyzed.RESULTS: The general information of the two groups was comparable. Through training with the EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulator, the study group showed significant improvements in total examination and drawing scores compared to pre-training results(all P<0.001). Additionally, examination duration, retinal light exposure time, and drawing time were all significantly shorter than those before training(all P<0.001).The study group achieved significantly higher total examination and drawing scores than the control group during the EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulator assessment(all P<0.001). Furthermore, examination duration, retinal light exposure time, and drawing time were all significantly shorter in the study group compared to the control group(all P<0.001). Moreover, ratings for the novelty of the training method and overall satisfaction with the training were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group(all P<0.001); while the perceived psychological stress during training was significantly lower in the study group(P<0.001).CONCLUSION:The EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulaton system effectively enhances both the proficiency in fundus examination skills and overall training satisfaction among general practitioners.

This study aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of the combined ac-tion of high-fat diet-induced obesity and the aflatoxin B1(AFB1)on hepatic oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.Thirty-six rats of similar weight and 4 weeks old were randomly divided into 4 groups,with 9 rats in each group:the blank control group(basal diet),the AFB1 group(0.4 mg/kg AFB1+basal diet),the HFD group(high-fat diet),and the HFD+AFB1 group(high-fat diet+0.4 mg/kg AFB1).Histological changes and lipid deposition were observed via hematox-ylin-eosin(HE)staining and Oil Red O staining.Levels of oxidative stress and inflammation-relat-ed factors were measured using commercial assay kits.The relative protein expression levels of factors involved in the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway were assessed by Western blot analysis.The HE staining results showed that in the AFB1 group,the liver cells exhibited widespread watery de-generation,with shrunk and ruptured nuclei,inflammatory cells infiltration,and increased fibrosis.In the HFD group,liver cell fatty degeneration was observed,with cytoplasmic lipid droplet infil-tration.In the portal area,liver fibrosis was seen,with liver cell necrosis and inflammatory cell in-filtration in the fibrotic area,accompanied by lipofuscous granules.When HFD was applied to the AFB1 group,the abnormal state of liver interstitial and interstitial spaces was further aggravated,and a large number of lipid droplets appeared.The Oil Red O staining results showed that there were large numbers of dark red lipid droplets in the liver tissue of the HFD group,which were fused in strands.In the AFB1 group,lipid droplets could also be observed in the liver tissue of rats,but the number and degree were significantly less than those in the HFD group.The number and degree of red lipid droplets in the liver tissue of rats in the HFD+AFB1 group were higher than those in the AFB1 group and the HFD group.HFD exacerbated AFB1-induced oxidative stress by elevating ROS,MDA levels,and decreasing the expression of antioxidant stress factors such as CAT,SOD,Nrf2,HO-1,NQO1,and GCLC.Furthermore,the combined effect of HFD and AFB1 further significantly increased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-2,IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in the body.In summary,HFD treatment significantly exacerbated liver oxidative stress and in-flammatory responses in rats exposed to AFB1 through the Nrf2-keap1 signaling pathway.

The Choledochal cyst is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the bile duct. Early cyst resection and Roux-en-Y hepatojejunostomy are the primary surgical methods for treating choledochal cyst. With the emergence of enhanced recovery after surgery, laparoscopic surgery has effectively reduced the incidence of biliary complications and wound infections, but it still does not meet people's requirements for minimally invasive surgery. Robotic surgery system has the potential to enhance surgical precision and the maneuverability of surgeons due to clear surgical visualization and flexible mechanical arms. The authors review the relevant literatures and conduct a Meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of robot-assisted surgery and laparoscopic surgery for choledochal cyst.

Objective To investigate the value of multimodal MRI radiomics in predicting muscle-invasive bladder cancer.Methods A total of 178 patients with pathology diagnosis of bladder cancer were retrospectively collected,including 31 cases of muscle invasive bladder cancer(MIBC)and 147 cases of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC).Patients were randomly divided into training group and testing group at a ratio of 7︰3.The range of bladder tumors in T2WI,diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)images were segmented as volume of interest(VOI)by using ITK-SNAP software.Radiomics features were extracted through A.K software.The optimal radiomics features were obtained through radiomics algorithm and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)method.Finally,the logistic regression analysis method and random forest model method were used to construct prediction models.The performance of prediction models was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results This study constructed four groups of models containing T2WI prediction model,DWI prediction model,ADC prediction model,and T2WI+DWI+ADC prediction model.The area under the curve(AUC)of T2WI,DWI,and ADC prediction models for identifying MIBC and NMIBC were separately 0.920,0.914,and 0.954 in the training group while those were respectively 0.881,0.773,and 0.871 in the testing group.There was no statistical significance between T2WI,DWI,and ADC prediction models.In training and testing groups,the AUC of T2WI+DWI+ADC prediction model were respectively 0.959 and 0.909,which were higher than the single sequence prediction model.The sensitivity and specificity of the training group were 0.905 and 0.853 and the sensitivity and specificity of the testing group were 0.778 and 0.795.Conclusion MRI radiomics prediction model can effectively differentiate MIBC and NMIBC.The T2WI+DWI+ADC prediction model shows better prediction efficiency.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine used to supplement analgesia on sleep quality in elderly patients after abdominal surgery.Methods Ninety-eight elderly patients,56 males and 42 females,aged 65-80 years,BMI 18.5-25.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,who un-derwent elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were selected and divided into two groups using the random number table method:dexmedetomidine group(group D)and control group(group C),49 pa-tients in each group.The two groups were used the same drugs for induction and maintenance of anesthesia,with different analgesic formulas after surgery.Analgesia formula in group C was sufentanil 2 μg/kg,tropi-setron 4 mg,and normal saline to 100 ml,and in group D was sufentanil 2 μg/kg,dexmedetomidine 5μg/kg,tropisetron 4 mg,and normal saline to 100 ml.In the form of questionnaire survey,consensus sleep diary(CSD)was used to record the patient's sleep latency,number of awakenings and duration of waking after sleep 1 day before surgery and 1 day,3,and 7 days after surgery,and then the actual sleep time and sleep efficiency were calculated.The patient's venous blood was collected at 5:00 to 7:00 in the morning to detect serum melatonin,interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α)concentration.Extubation time,the incidence of cough,agitation,respiratory depression,postoperative bradycardia,nausea and vomiting,lethargy,urinary retention,and other adverse reactions were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the sleep latency was significantly reduced,the actual sleep time and the sleep efficiency were significantly increased 1 day,3,and 7 days after surgery(P＜0.05).Compared with group C,the concentration of postoperative melatonin in group D were significantly increased 1 day,3,and 7 days after surgery(P＜0.05),the concentration of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α in group D were significantly reduced 1 and 3 days after surgery(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of ad-verse reactions between the two groups.Conclusion Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with dexme-detomidine assisted in elderly patients after abdominal surgery can improve sleep efficiency,increase sleep time and postoperative sleep quality,which may be related to the changes of melatonin and inflammatory factors after surgery.

Objective To explore the comparative study of constructing prediction models for muscle invasive of bladder cancer based on different machine learning algorithms combined with MRI radiomic.Methods A total of 187 bladder cancer patients who underwent MRI examination and were confirmed by pathology were retrospectively selected.Patients were randomly divided into a training set and a test set in a 7∶3 ratio.The patients were divided into muscle invasive bladder cancer(MIBC)group and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC)group according to the surgical pathology results.Tumor volume of interest(VOI)was outlined on the images of T2 WI,diffusion weighted imaging(DWI),and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),and the radiomic features were extracted by A.K software,and dimensionality reduction was performed using the maximum relevance minimum redundancy(mRMR)algorithm combined with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO).Six machine learning algorithms,including K-nearest neighbor(KNN),decision tree(DT),support vector machine(SVM),logistic regression(LR),random forest(RF),and explainable boosting machine(EBM)were used to construct the radiomic model and calculate the corresponding area under the curve(AUC),accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity,respectively.Results Six machine learning algorithms,including KNN,DT,SVM,LR,RF,and EBM were used to construct the radiomic model,and the AUC values for predicting MIBC in the training set were 0.863,0.838,0.853,0.866,0.977,0.997,and in the test set were 0.748,0.833,0.860,0.868,0.870,0.900.Among them,the MRI radiomic model constructed based on EBM had the highest predictive efficacy for MIBC,with AUC values,accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of 0.997,0.977,0.957 and 0.981 in the training set,and 0.900,0.877,0.800,and 0.894 in the test set,respectively.Conclusion Multiple machine learning algorithms combined with MRI radiomic to construct models have good predictive efficacy for MIBC,and the model constructed based on EBM shows the highest predictive value.

Objective To study the relationship among the sense of organizational fairness, innovative self-efficacy (ISE) and innovative behavior in nurses. Methods A total of 392 nurses from a grade A tertiary hospital were selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The Organizational Fairness Scale, Innovation Self-efficacy Scale, and Innovation Behavior Scale were used to evaluate the sense of organizational fairness, ISE, and innovation behavior, respectively. The mediate equation model was constructed, and Bootstrap analysis was applied for validation. Results The scores for organizational fairness, ISE, and innovative behavior among the nurses were (67.8±15.2), (23.9±3.5), and (30.5±6.7) points, respectively. Organizational fairness score was positively correlated with both innovative behavior and ISE scores ［correlation coefficients (r) were 0.38 and 0.36, respectively, both P<0.01］. ISE score was positively correlated with innovative behavior total score (r=0.51, P<0.01). The results of the mediation analysis indicated that the total effect of organizational fairness on innovation behavior was 0.34 (P<0.01),with a direct effect of 0.17 (P<0.01). ISE plays a mediating role between organizational fairness and innovation behavior among nurses(P<0.01) with standardized mediation effect of 0.17, accounting for 50.0% of the total effect. Conclusion Organizational fairness can influence the ability of innovative behavior directly or through the mediating role of ISE.
