This article reports the diagnosis and treatment of one patient with fascioliasis of the common bile duct, aiming to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The patient sought medical attention due to long-term symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting. Imaging examinations displayed dilatation of the common bile duct and intrahepatic bile ducts, and the patient was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of “common bile duct stone”. Through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and choledochoscopy, two worms were collected from the common bile duct, which were identified as Fasciola hepatica by high-throughput sequencing.

Objective To analyze the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and cognitive disorder in middle-aged and elderly patients with Parkinson's disease(PD),and to identify risk factors for cognitive disorder in PD patients.Methods The clinical data of patients aged≥50 years and hospitalized for PD in Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University from Jan.2010 to Dec.2021 were collected,including demographic characteristics,general clinical features,laboratory indicators,etc.The cognitive status was evaluated by mini-mental state examination(MMSE).A total of 281 PD patients were assigned to T2DM group or non-T2DM group,and MMSE original score,standardized score,and cognitive status were compared between the 2 groups.The 281 patients were reassigned to normal cognition group or abnormal cognition group,then multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of cognitive disorder in middle-aged and elderly patients with PD.Results The MMSE original score and standardized score in the T2DM group were significantly lower than those in the non-T2DM group(23[18,25]vs 24[21,27],P=0.011;-1[-3,2]vs 1[-1,3],P=0.004),and the detection rate of cognitive disorder was significantly higher than that of the non-T2DM group(53.57%[45/84]vs 33.50%[66/197],P=0.002).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T2DM(odds ratio[OR]=2.452,95%confidence interval[95%CI]1.397-4.306,P=0.002),place of residence(OR=2.208,95%CI 1.261-3.868,P=0.006),and age(OR=1.054,95%CI 1.006-1.104,P=0.028)were risk factors for cognitive disorder in middle-aged and elderly patients with PD,while serum uric acid(OR=0.274,95%CI 0.098-0.768,P=0.014)was protective factor for cognitive disorder in middle-aged and elderly patients with PD.Conclusion T2DM,rural area,advanced age,and hypouricemia are independent risk factors for cognitive disorder in middle-aged and elderly patients with PD.For middle-aged and elderly PD patients with T2DM,screening for cognitive disorder should be strengthened for early prevention and intervention.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the efficacy of intravesical Bacille Calmette-Guérin(BCG)instillation after transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT)in patients with intermediate-and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC),and to construct a prediction model for recurrence after BCG treatment.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on the subjected patients diagnosed with intermediate-and high-risk NMIBC undergoing TURBT followed by standard BCG instillation.The 110 patients treated in Department of Urology of Army Medical Center of PLA from January 2018 to December 2023 were assigned into a training set,while the 52 patients treated at Department of Urology of General Hospital of Central Theater Command from January 2015 to December 2020 were into an external validation set.A total of 17 variables were included and analyzed.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with recurrence after BCG instillation,and nomograms were plotted to predict 1-year,3-year,and 5-year recurrence-free survival(RFS).Calibration curve,decision curve analysis(DCA),and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis were conducted for internal and external validation to evaluate the predictive performance and clinical utility of the model.Results In the training set,26 patients(23.64%)experienced recurrence during the follow-up period,with a median RFS of 32.00(18.00～50.50)months.Univariate Cox regression analysis suggested that platelet count,eosinophil to lymphocyte ratio(ELR),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR),systemic immune inflammation(SII)index,and neutrophil-monocyte to lymphocyte ratio(NMLR),pathological T1 stage(pT1)tumor and hemoglobin,albumin,lymphocyte,and platelet(HALP)score were potential factors influencing recurrence after BCG instillation.Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified high HALP score(HR=0.185,95%CI:0.046～0.736,P=0.017)as an independent protective factor,while high ELR(HR=3.599,95%CI:1.505～8.608,P=0.004)and pT1 stage(HR=3.240,95%CI:1.191～8.818,P=0.021)were independent risk factors for recurrence.Based on this,a nomogram prediction model was constructed.The calibration curves demonstrated good agreement between predicted and actual 1-,3-,and 5-year recurrence risks.Decision curve analysis indicated clinical utility across a wide threshold probability range.In the training set,the model showed strong predictive performance for 1-(AUC=0.842),3-(AUC=0.847),and 5-year(AUC=0.887)recurrence risks,which was further validated in the external cohort.Conclusion Higher HALP score prior to BCG instillation therapy is a protective factor against tumor recurrence,while higher ELR and pT1 stage are risk factors.Our nomogram prediction model based on HALP score,ELR and pathological T stage,can identify individuals at high risk of recurrence after BCG instillation therapy.

Objective To investigate risk factors for residual lesions after initial transurethral resection of bladder tumors(TURBT)and risk factors for tumor recurrence after second TURBT in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC)in order to provide reference for clinical management.Methods A case-control study design was adopted to include 120 NMIBC patients who underwent initial TURBT and then second surgery within 2～8 weeks in our department from January 2017 to January 2025.Based on the presence of residual lesions after the initial TURBT or not,the patients were divided into a residual lesion group(n=34)and a non-residual lesion group(n=86).Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify potential risk factors for residual lesions following the initial TURBT.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze potential risk factors for tumor recurrence after the second TURBT.Results The residual lesion rate after initial TURBT was 28.33％.Chi-square test analysis revealed that tumor stage T1(Chi-square=5.756,P=0.016)and broad tumor base(Chi-square=4.331,P=0.037)were factors influencing residual lesions after initial TURBT.Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified tumor stage T1(OR=3.047,95％CI:1.128～8.226,P=0.028)as an independent risk factor for residual lesions after initial TURBT.The tumor recurrence rate after second TURBT was 17.5％.Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified tumor stage T1(OR=4.258,95％CI:1.248～14.532,P=0.021),intravesical chemotherapy instillation after second TURBT(OR=3.539,95％CI:1.284～9.752,P=0.015),history of urinary system tumors(OR=3.002,95％CI:1.145～7.873,P=0.025)and high platelet-to-lymphocyte(PLR)ratio(OR=2.798,95％CI:1.115～7.023,P=0.028)as independent risk factors for tumor recurrence after second TURBT.Conclusion Tumor stage T1 and broad tumor base are risk factors for residual lesions after initial TURBT,while tumor stage T1,intravesical chemotherapy instillation after second TURBT,history of urinary system tumors and high PLR ratio are risk factors for tumor recurrence after second TURBT.Comprehensive analysis on above 4 indicators can effectively assess the risk of tumor recurrence in NMIBC patients following second TURBT,and timely early medical intervention is beneficial for improving patient outcomes.

Objective To analyze the correlations of autoimmune diseases(AIDs)with the risk of developing pancreatic endocrine and exocrine diseases.Methods A total of 451,497 participants from the UK Biobank were recruited,with the primary outcomes being pancreatic endocrine and exo-crine diseases.International Classification of Diseases 9/10(ICD9/10)codes were used to define each AIDs,the pancreatic endocrine and exocrine diseases.Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the relationships between AIDs and pancreatic endocrine and exocrine diseases,with adjustments for age,gender,ethnicity,Townsend deprivation index,smoking,alcohol consumption,body mass index,waist circumference,hip circumference,hypertension,dyslipidemia,and gallstones.Results A total of 415,497 participants were included,among which 37,482 de-veloped pancreas-related diseases during follow-up.Among patients with AIDs,the proportions of those with pancreatic exocrine and endocrine diseases were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Rheumatoid arthritis[HR(95％CI):1.438(1.161 to 1.781)],ankylosing spondylitis[HR(95％CI):1.675(1.009 to 2.780)],ulcerative colitis[HR(95％CI):1.335(1.037 to 1.719)],and Crohn's disease[HR(95％CI):1.530(1.154 to 2.028)]were all associated with an increased risk of de-veloping pancreatic exocrine diseases(all P＜0.05);additionally,rheumatoid arthritis[HR(95％CI):1.119(1.004 to 1.248)],ulcerative colitis[HR(95％CI):1.324(1.175 to 1.491)],sys-temic sclerosis[HR(95％CI):2.08(1.355 to 3.191)],and Crohn's disease[HR(95％CI):1.394(1.197 to 1.624)]were also associated with an increased risk of developing pancreatic en-docrine diseases(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Overall AIDs and some specific AIDs are associated with an increased risk of developing pancreatic endocrine and exocrine diseases,and early preven-tion of pancreatic diseases in patients with AIDs should be emphasized in clinical practice.

Eight new diterpenoids, Isodons A-H (1-8), comprising seco-abietane and abietane-type structures, together with 13 known analogues (9-21), were isolated from Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Hara. The compounds (+)-3/(-)-3, (+)-4/(-)-4, and (+)-5/(-)-5 were identified as three enantiomeric pairs. The planar structures and absolute configurations of 1-8 were determined through high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), 1D & 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and X-ray diffraction crystallography. A cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) luciferase reporter assay revealed significant anti-cholestatic activities for compounds 1, (+)-4, 6, 7, 12-14, and 16. Additionally, compound 6 demonstrated anti-cholestatic effects through the farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-associated signaling pathways in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest potential applications for I. Lophanthoides in pharmaceutical development.

Depression is increasingly prevalent among adolescents and can profoundly impact their lives. However, the early detection of depression is often hindered by the time-consuming diagnostic process and the absence of objective biomarkers. In this study, we propose a novel approach for depression detection based on an affective brain-computer interface (aBCI) and the resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG). By fusing EEG features associated with both emotional and resting states, our method captures comprehensive depression-related information. The final depression detection model, derived through decision fusion with multiple independent models, further enhances detection efficacy. Our experiments involved 40 adolescents with depression and 40 matched controls. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 86.54% on cross-validation and 88.20% on the independent test set, demonstrating the efficiency of multimodal fusion. In addition, further analysis revealed distinct brain activity patterns between the two groups across different modalities. These findings hold promise for new directions in depression detection and intervention.

As new evidence emerges, treatment strategies toward the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B are evolving. In 2019, a panel of national hepatologists published a Consensus Statement on the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B. Currently, an international group of hepatologists has been assembled to evaluate research since the publication of the original consensus, and to collaboratively develop the updated statements. The 2.0 Consensus was aimed to update the original consensus with the latest available studies, and provide a comprehensive overview of the current relevant scientific literatures regarding functional cure of hepatitis B, with a particular focus on issues that are not yet fully clarified. These cover the definition of functional cure of hepatitis B, its mechanisms and barriers, the effective strategies and treatment roadmap to achieve this endpoint, in particular new surrogate biomarkers used to measure efficacy or to predict response, and the appropriate approach to pursuing a functional cure in special populations, the development of emerging antivirals and immunomodulators with potential for curing hepatitis B. The statements are primarily intended to offer international guidance for clinicians in their practice to enhance the functional cure rate of chronic hepatitis B.
