Budd-Chiari syndrome （BCS） is a clinical syndrome of portal vein and/or inferior vena cava （IVC） hypertension caused by obstruction of the hepatic veins and/or the IVC proximal to its opening. Previous studies have shown that there are significant differences in the etiology， clinical classification， and therapeutic strategy of BCS across different regions. In Western countries， BCS is often secondary to thrombotic disorders， especially myeloproliferative neoplasms， with hepatic vein obstruction as the main lesion； the treatment of BCS mainly follows a stepwise strategy of anticoagulation， recanalization， shunting， and liver transplantation， with relatively early timing for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. In contrast， BCS in China mainly involves membranous obstruction of the retrohepatic IVC and mixed-type obstruction， and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is the core treatment method for BCS. These differences may be associated with various factors such as genetic background， environmental exposure， and healthcare practice patterns， with a significant impact on clinical decision-making and prognostic assessment. This article systematically summarizes the geographic heterogeneity of BCS through a literature review， so as to provide a cross-regional diagnostic and therapeutic reference for clinicians， as well as clues and directions for international collaborative research on the regional differences of BCS in the future.

Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration is a key clinical biomarker for diagnosing and managing anemia, ischemic stroke, perioperative blood loss, and chronic diseases such as renal failure. Traditional venous blood sampling remains the gold standard due to its high accuracy, but its invasive nature limits frequent testing, real time monitoring, and large scale screening. This has driven growing interest in non-invasive Hb detection technologies over the past decade. Among these, optical methods are the most promising because of their safety, potential for continuous monitoring, and compatibility with portable or wearable devices. This paper systematically reviews major advances in optical non invasive Hb detection from the last ten years. We focus on near-infrared spectroscopy branches—photoplethysmography (PPG) and dynamic spectrum (DS)—and also cover color analysis/RGB imaging, Raman spectroscopy, and photoacoustic spectroscopy. For each technology, we explain its detection principles, analyze advantages and limitations, and summarize optimization strategies reported in recent literature. PPG, based on pulsatile blood volume changes, underpins many commercial continuous monitors. However, its accuracy is constrained by motion artifacts, individual physiological variations (e.g., skin tone, tissue thickness), and low AC signal to noise ratio. In contrast, DS—an advanced derivative of PPG—uses a differential principle to extract absorbance changes between systolic and diastolic peaks. This theoretically eliminates interference from static tissues (skin, bone, venous blood) and common mode noise (e.g., ambient light), positioning DS as a more robust framework for high precision Hb quantification. Beyond spectral methods, color analysis/RGB imaging offers a hardware minimalist approach. By analyzing images of vascular rich, thin tissues (e.g., conjunctiva, nail beds, palms), it enables Hb estimation using smartphone cameras. Recent advances have shifted from manual RGB feature extraction to deep learning models and spectral super resolution that reconstruct hyperspectral data from RGB inputs, significantly improving screening accuracy. Our academic perspective emphasizes critical and integrative analysis. We highlight persistent challenges that hinder clinical translation: profound individual biological variability (skin optics, microvascular architecture), sensitivity to measurement conditions (pressure, ambient light), and a lack of standardized validation protocols and multi center trials. A central thesis is that no single optical method is universally superior; each involves trade offs between accuracy, complexity, cost, and practicality. Looking forward, we posit that the next performance leap will come from multimodal information fusion—combining PPG, electrocardiogram (ECG), bioimpedance, or different optical modalities to compensate for individual differences and environmental noise. AI and deep learning are essential not only for image analysis but also for automated, end to end feature extraction from complex waveforms like PPG sequences. Advancing hardware (tunable lasers, quantum dot LEDs, novel sensor designs) is crucial to improve signal fidelity and portability. Finally, we advocate for clinical scenario specific optimization and rigorous standardized evaluation frameworks to gain regulatory approval (e.g., FDA, NMPA) and achieve widespread clinical acceptance. In conclusion, this review synthesizes a decade of progress. Optical non-invasive Hb detection has evolved from proof of concept studies to emerging products and validated screening tools, but the journey toward reliable, clinic ready quantitative devices continues. The convergence of smarter algorithms, fused sensing modalities, and focused clinical validation offers the most promising path to transform this potential into routine medical practice, ultimately enabling personalized, continuous, and accessible hematological management.

Objective To construct and evaluate a prognostic model for clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)based on preoperative lipid ratios, cM0(i+)staging, and other clinical characteristics, so as to provide a precise tool for clinical prognosis assessment. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 215 ccRCC patients treated in our hospital during May 2014 and May 2023. Lipid ratios were calculated using preoperative lipid data, and patients were divided into cM0(i+)stage or cM0 stage according to postoperative circulating tumor cells(CTCs)test results. The optimal lipid ratio and cutoff value were selected using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and the X-tile method. Patients were subdivided into three groups based on the level of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to non-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(LNLR)and cM0(i+)staging:Group A [LNLR＞1.68 and diagnosed with cM0(i+)], Group B [LNLR＞1.68 or diagnosed with cM0(i+)], and Group C(LNLR ≤1.68 and diagnosed with cM0). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to plot survival curves for patients in different groups. The log-rank test was employed to compare differences in recurrence-free survival(RFS)among the subgroups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to identify the independent risk factors influencing RFS, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed based on these results. The predictive performance of the model was validated using ROC curves, calibration curves, and decision curves. Results ROC curves were plotted for lipid markers, and LNLR was identified as the most predictive for RFS. Its optimal cutoff point was 1. 68. Patients in Group A experienced a significantly shorter postoperative RFS. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified preoperative LNLR, cM0(i+)staging, pathological grade, and stage as independent risk factors for RFS. A nomogram model was constructed based on these risk factors. The area under the ROC curve(AUC)for 1-, 3-, and 5-year RFS was 0.896(95% CI:0.8121-0.9627), 0.890(95%CI:0.7879-0.9641), and 0.870(95%CI:0.7697-0.9526), indicating good discriminatory ability and predictive performance. Calibration plots demonstrated good agreement between predicted and actual outcomes. Clinical decision curve analysis showed high clinical net benefit. Conclusion Preoperative LNLR level is an independent risk factor for RFS in ccRCC patients. The prognostic prediction model based on LNLR, cM0(i+)staging, patient pathological grade, and staging demonstrates good predictive performance for RFS and holds potential clinical application value.

Objective To investigate the effect of cannulated screw internal fixation via a small incision sinus tarsi approach on calcaneal related angles in patients with calcaneal fractures.Methods A total of 107 patients with calcaneal fractures who were treated in our hospital from June 2020 to July 2023 were selected,and they were divided into the group A(n=56,underwent lateral L-shaped approach combined with steel plate internal fixation) and group B (n=51,underwent cannulated screw internal fixation via a small incision sinus tarsi approach). The Bohler angle,Gissane angle,calcaneal width,calcaneal height,American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Association (AOFAS) Maryland foot function score,and visual analogue scale (VAS) score before and after surgery were compared between the two groups. The correlations between the imaging data before and after surgery,their correlation with the AOFAS Maryland foot function score and VAS score,and the correlations between the difference in imaging indexes before and after surgery and the improvement rates of Maryland foot function score and VAS score were analyzed by Pearson method. Results The Bohler angle,Gissane angle,calcaneal width,and calcaneal height after surgery in both groups were significantly improved compared with those before surgery (P<0.05). The group B had smaller Bohler angle 1 month after surgery,and greater Bohler angle 3 months and 6 months after surgery,and Gissane angle and calcaneal width 3 months after surgery compared with those in group A (P<0.05). At 1,3,and 6 months after surgery,the VAS scores of both groups were significantly reduced compared with those before surgery (P<0.05),while the Maryland foot function scores were significantly increased compared with those before surgery (P<0.05). The Maryland foot function scores and VAS scores 1,3,and 6 months after surgery of the group B were significantly better than those of the group A(P<0.05). The Bohler angle,calcaneal width,Gissane angle,and calcaneal height were all correlated before and after surgery (P<0.05);before surgery,the calcaneal width and height were not correlated with the Maryland foot function score or VAS score (P>0.05),while the Bohler angle and Gissane angle were correlated with the Maryland foot function score and VAS score (P<0.05);after surgery,the Bohler angle,calcaneal width,Gissane angle,and calcaneal height were all correlated with the Maryland foot function score and VAS score (P<0.05). The differences in Bohler angle,Gissane angle,calcaneal width,and calcaneal height before and after surgery were correlated with the improvement rates of Maryland foot function score and VAS score (P<0.05). Conclusion The Bohler angle,Gissane angle,and calcaneal height all increase,while the calcaneal width decrease after treated with cannulated screw internal fixation via a small incision sinus tarsi approach in calcaneal fractures,which has better therapeutic effect than that of lateral L-shaped approach combined with steel plate internal fixation. The changes in the Bohler angle,Gissane angle,calcaneal width,and calcaneal height are correlated with the clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of lens diameter in different axial positions and their rela-tionship with ocular biometric parameters using swept-source optical coherence tomography.Methods A total of 180 pa-tients(180 eyes)with age-related cataract who were scheduled for phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens im-plantation from July to December 2023 were included,and the operated eyes were used as the observation eyes.The lens diameter data of patients were obtained by scanning at 16 axial positions using the swept-source optical coherence tomo-graphy device CASIA2.The patients were divided into three groups according to the scanning axial positions of the maxi-mum and minimum lens diameters:horizontal group,oblique group,and vertical group.The distribution differences of the maximum and minimum lens diameters among the three groups were compared.Ocular biometric parameters,including ax-ial length(AL),white-to-white distance,anterior chamber depth(ACD),and lens thickness(LT),were measured using the IOL Master 700.Correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between lens diameter and age,ocular biomet-ric parameters.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of age and ocular biometric parameters on lens diameter.Results The maximum lens diameter[10.13(9.20,10.80)mm]was significantly larger than the min-imum lens diameter[9.26(8.21,9.91)mm],with a statistically significant difference(Z=-7.387,P＜0.001).There were no statistically significant differences in the maximum and minimum lens diameters among the three groups(H=1.575,P=0.455;H=0.927,P=0.629).The distribution difference of the maximum lens diameters between the oblique group and the horizontal group was statistically significant(x2=6.035,P=0.014);differences in other group comparisons were not statistically significant(all P＞0.022).The proportion of the maximum lens diameter occurring in the oblique group(55.2％)was significantly higher than that in the horizontal group(38.0％).The maximum lens diameter was more commonly found in the oblique group.The lens diameter was positively correlated with age and LT(rs=0.217,P＜0.05;rs=0.538,P＜0.001),and negatively correlated with ACD(rs=-0.379,P＜0.001).Comparison of standardized regres-sion coefficients(β')showed that LT had the greatest impact on lens diameter,followed by AL;both LT and AL had a sig-nificant positive impact on lens diameter(β'=0.483,P＜0.001;β'=0.314,P＜0.001).Conclusion The distribution frequency of the maximum lens diameter in the oblique group(30°-60° and 120°-150°)was significantly higher than that in the horizontal group.There was a positive correlation between lens diameter and age and LT,and a negative correlation between lens diameter and ACD.Among all the factors affecting lens diameter,LT and AL are the most critical factors,with LT having a more significant impact on lens diameter than AL.

Objective:To develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based platelet review strategy to identify abnormal platelet histograms with no significant difference between initial impedance platelet count (PLT-I) and PLT-F results.Methods:This study included 5 119 routine blood analysis in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and its Ganzhou branch from July 2023 and March 2024. Specimens exhibiting abnormal platelet histograms and an initial platelet count >40×10?/L underwent review using the fluorescent platelet count (PLT-F) channel. Consistency of the results was defined as a difference between impedance platelet count (PLT-I) and PLT-F less than ±20% of the PLT-F results. A deep learning model was developed using platelet and red blood cell histogram data from a training set of 3 807 specimens. The model′s diagnostic performance was evaluated on an independent external validation set ( n=805) using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Changes in the number of reviewed samples and sample turnaround time were analyzed to assess its clinical utility. Results:The deep learning model based on platelet and red blood cell histograms achieved an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.854 in the training set. At a cutoff value of 0.1, the sensitivity was 0.954 and specificity was 0.358. The model could reduce review by 16.80% (190/1 131). In the validation set, the AUC was 0.805, with a sensitivity of 0.955 and specificity of 0.307, corresponding to a reduction of 17.41% (47/270) in reviewed specimens.Conclusion:The platelet review prediction model developed based on deep learning technology can efficiently identify samples with consistent results before and after review, reducing unnecessary reviews and shortening specimen testing time, thereby improving the efficiency of platelet test.

Objective To investigate the influence of body mass index(BMI)on individualized analgesic effect,inflammatory factors and safety of sufentanil in elderly patients after proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)surgery.Methods A total of 161 elderly patients who received PFNA surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Group Suqian Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as study subjects.Patients with BMI<18.5 kg/m2 were set as Group A,patients with BMI ranging from 18.5 kg/m2 to 23.9 kg/m2 were set as Group B,patients with BMI ranging from 24.0 kg/m2 to 35.0 kg/m2 were set as Group C.After operation,individualized analgesia was performed with an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia pump of 2 μg/kg sufentanil based on body weight,and the postoperative pain degree,inflammatory factors,analgesia condition and adverse reactions of patients in the three groups were compared.Results At 8 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours after surgery,the pain visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of patietns in group B and group C were significantly lower than those in group A(P<0.05).At 12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours after surgery,the pain VAS scores of patients in group C were significantly lower than those in group B(P<0.05).The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),and interleukin-6(IL-6)1 day after surgery of patients in group B and group C were significantly lower than those in group A(P<0.05).The pressing times of analgesia pump and the duration of obvious pain within 48 hours after surgery of patients in group A were significantly more/longer than those in group B and group C(P<0.05),and the analgesic satisfaction score was significantly lower than those in group B and group C(P<0.05).The total incidence of analgesic adverse reactions in group C was significantly higher than those in group A and group B(P<0.05).Conclusion BMI may affect the individualized analgesic effect,inflammatory factors and safety of sufentanil in elderly patients undergoing PFNA surgery.Underweight patients may have insufficient analgesia,while overweight or obese patients may have excessive analgesia,which may affect the analgesic safety.

Objective To explore the time-varying pattern of potential symptoms in breast cancer patient before and after chemotherapy,and further analyze its influencing factors,aims to provide reference for clinical nursing practice.Methods 233 cases of breast cancer in a tertiary A hospital in Ningxia from June to October,2023 were selected as the research subjects.By the general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of Anderson Symptom Assessment Scale,the potential change of symptoms of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy 1-3 days before the first chemotherapy(T1,233 cases)and 7-14 days after the third or fourth chemotherapy(T2,225 cases)was analyzed.Results 225 cases of breast cancer patients completed 2 surveys,and their symptom characteristics before and after chemotherapy can be divided into 2 categories:a high symptom troubled group and a low symptom troubled group.The high-symptom troubled group has strong stability,and the probability of maintaining the original group is 85.20％,while the low-symptom troubled group is more inclined to change to the high-symptom troubled group,and the transition probability is 26.60％.Logistic regression analysis showed that the mass was located on the left side,and the patients who obtained disease knowledge mainly through the Internet were more likely to change from the high symptom troubled group to the low symptom troubled group,while the patients who were employed,with unsatisfactory sleep at night,and never exercised were more likely to change from the low symptom troubled group to the high symptom troubled group.Conclusion The symptoms of breast cancer patients before and after chemotherapy are heterogeneous.Patients who are on the job,have unsatisfied sleep at night and never exercise are more likely to change from the low-symptom troubled group to the high-symptom troubled group,which suggests that medical staff should identify potential high-risk groups at an early stage,and make full use of the predictive function of symptom characteristics to carry out individualized management based on the dynamic monitoring of symptoms according to different types of population characteristics,so as to reduce the burden of symptoms and improve their quality of life.
