Objective To explore primary care physicians' attitudes toward the use of AI-CDSS,and to examine the relationships and underlying mechanisms among AI system explainability,physicians' trust in AI-CDSS,and their willingness to use it.It aims to provide a reference for promoting AI-CDSS in primary healthcare institutions and better leveraging AI technology to empower primary healthcare services.Methods Primary care physicians in Tongling City,Anhui Province,were surveyed using standardized scales to collect data on AI system explainability,trust in AI-CDSS,and willingness to use it.Descriptive statistics,correlation analysis,and mediation effect testing were conducted using SPSS 26.0 software.Results AI system explainability,trust,and willingness to use were all positively correlated(r=0.788,0.865,P＜0.01),and AI system explainability was also positively correlated with trust(r=0.776,P＜0.01).Trust in the AI system partially mediated the relationship between system explainability and willingness to use,with a mediation effect value of 0.568(95％CI=0.373～0.669).Conclusion When promoting AI-CDSS,primary healthcare institutions should prioritize the adoption of AI systems with high explainability to enhance physicians' trust,thereby increasing their willingness to use such systems and ultimately promoting the effective application of AI technology in primary healthcare services.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of metoprolol combined with trimetazidine on elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:This randomized controlled trial enrolled 120 elderly CHD+CHF patients admitted to Army 73rd Group Military Hospital of Chinese PLA between June 2020 and June 2023.Patients were divided into control group(metoprolol based on routine treatment)and in-tervention group(additional trimetazidine therapy).Each group consisted of 60 patients,treated for 1 month.The clinical efficacy,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),cardiac index(CI),left ventricular end-systolic diame-ter(LVESd),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd),serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),high sensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP),platelet a granule membrane protein-140(GMP-140),intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)and growth differentiation factor 15(GDF-15),and incidence of adverse reac-tions were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate of the intervention group was significant-ly higher than that of the control group(95.00％vs.81.67％,P=0.023).Compared to patients in the control group,those in the intervention group had significant lower LVESd[(35.03±5.14)mm vs.(40.63±3.87)mm],LVEDd[(43.53±4.27)mm vs.(48.36±5.22)mm],levels of BNP[(94.35±7.55)pg/ml vs.(127.86±45.11)pg/ml],hsCRP[(0.91±0.28)mg/L vs.(1.47±0.52)mg/L],GMP-140[(7.14±1.06)μg/L vs.(9.37±1.59)μg/L],ICAM-1[(43.81±5.75)pg/ml vs.(52.74±5.83)pg/ml]andGDF-15[(891.46±62.51)pg/ml vs.(1025.57±110.08)pg/ml],and significant higher LVEF[(55.62±5.11)％vs.(47.35±8.61)％]and CI[(3.41±0.38)L·min-1·m-2 vs.(3.08±0.31)L·min-1·m-2](P＜0.001 all).There was no significant difference in the total inci-dence of adverse reactions between the intervention group and control group(8.33％vs.11.67％,P=0.543).Conclu-sion:Metoprolol combined trimetazidine may relieve myocardial inflammatory response and injury,and inhibit ventricular remodeling,thereby improve cardiac function in elderly patients with CHD and CHF.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair has become the most important and widely recognized method for the treatment of patients with severe mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for surgery.At present,TEER is developing rapidly in China,the operation process tends to be standardized and standardized,and various domestic Clip devices are also constantly developing and improving,but the operation process of this technology is very dependent on the guidance and monitoring of transesophageal echocardiography,and many surgeons often only pay attention to the repair effect of TEER on MR,and ignore the damage of TEE probe to the esophagus.This study reports a case of esophageal erosion occurring in a patient after mitral valve clipping for mitral regurgitation,aiming to enhance awareness among colleagues regarding esophageal injury caused by transesophageal echocardiography probes.

Objective:To explore the effect of preoperative visits based on lean management theory in the preoperative psychological state of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.Methods:According to the coin toss method,72 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery admitted to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department of Chenzhou First People's Hospital from May 2024 to August 2024 were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 36 cases in each group.The control group was given routine preoperative visits,and the observation group was given preoperative visits based on lean management theory on the basis of the control group.The psychological state,information demand level,vital signs and satisfaction of the patients were compared between the two groups 1 day before operation and when entering the room.Results:After intervention,the scores of State Anxiety Scale(S-AI)and Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale(APAIS)were decreased in both groups,and the observation group were significantly lower than control group(P＜0.05).The vital signs(heart rate,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure)in observation group were lower than control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,the satisfaction of patients in observation group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The implementation of preoperative visit based on lean management theory can help improve the preoperative psychological state of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery,eliminate anxiety,provide patients with more targeted surgical information support for patients,stabilize patients 'vital signs,and improve patients' satisfaction.

Objective:To explore a reasonable relationship between the survival of descending genicular artery (chimeric) perforator flap [DGAPF (-Ch)] and the preservation of the great saphenous vein (GSV), so as to optimise the protection and reduction of a damage to the donor site in clinical applications.Methods:From June 2015 to October 2022, the Division of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of Department of Orthopaedics of Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, conducted cadaver perfusion studies on 15 fresh specimens of human lower extremity, and then on 31 patients who received free DGAPF (-Ch) transfer surgery. Among the patients, 13 had soft tissue defects in hand or forearm, 17 had soft tissue defects in foot or ankle and 1 had early femoral head necrosis after internal fixation for femoral neck fracture. Among them, 6 patients were complicated with bone defect. The size of soft tissue defect was 5.5 cm×3.0 cm-13.0 cm×6.5 cm, the size of flaps was 6.5 cm×3.5 cm-14.5 cm×7.5 cm, and bone flap volume was 3.5 cm×1.5 cm×1.5 cm-5.0 cm×1.5 cm×1.5 cm. All patients underwent preoperative evaluation of donor site by computed tomography angiography (CTA), and the CTA data were processed with Mimics 20.0 to design the flaps. Intraoperatively, the location of the descending genicular artery (DGA) was detected using Doppler ultrasound. When harvesting the flap, the P point (SP-p) was used as the centre to form an arteriovenous pedicle. A matching medial femoral condyle flap was designed to reconstruct the bone defect. The free flap (25 patients) or chimeric flap (6 patients) was transferred to the recipient site, and end-to-end vessel anastomoses were performed to establish the blood supply. After surgery, the patients were kept in bed for 7-9 days. Antibiotics were routinely administered to prevent infection, together with a symptomatic anticoagulation and anti-spasm treatment. The colour, temperature, capillary refilling and tension of the flap were closely observed. All patients were entered in postoperative follow-up at outpatient clinic for review at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery to observe the appearance, texture and function of the flaps and the condition of the donor sites.Results:Through anatomy observation, cutaneous perforating branch of DGA was located in front of the main trunk of the GSV at the plane of medial femoral condyle. It was found that both of the perforators of cutaneous artery and the branches of osteoarticular artery originated from the DGA. Distance between SP-p and S-p(DSPS) of fresh samples was 2.9-4.1 (3.6±0.5) cm. The DSPS of 31 patients measured in surgery was 2.9-4.3 (3.7±0.4) cm. A total of 30 flaps survived completely. One flap had partial necrosis, which healed at 2 weeks after skin grafting. The postoperative follow-up lasted for 6-48 (mean, 11.23) months. X-rays of 5 patients with chimeric bone flaps showed the healing of bone defects at 3 months after surgery. All donor sites were directly sutured and left with linear scars after healing, except 5 donor sites that received skin grafting. Eight patients received further flap thinning surgery at 3 to 12 months after primary surgery without any complication. All donor sites healed well without numbness.Conclusion:If the GSV is preserved during harvest of a DGAPF(-Ch), it causes less damage to the donor site and does not affect the survival of the flap. The DGAPF(-Ch) without GSV is a better method in the surgical treatment of complex tissue defects.

OBJECTIVES: Wild-caught Microtus fortis (M. fortis) at the age of 9-15 months can develop epithelial ovarian cancers similar to human epithelial ovarian cancers under natural conditions during experimental animal breeding, but its pathological types and biological characteristics remain unclear. This study aims to analyze the biological characteristics of spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis, intending to develop M. fortis as an animal model for human epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS: The female M. fortis (9-15 months old) with spontaneous ovarian cancer were selected as the experimental group, and healthy M. fortis from the same litter were selected as the control group. The ovarian pathological changes of the two groups were observed by dissection. Blood routine and biochemical indicators were measured by biochemical analysis. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the pathological changes in the ovarian cancer tissue of M. fortis. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the protein expression of common ovarian cancer markers, and real-time RT-PCR was used to analyze the transcription levels of ovarian cancer-related genes. RESULTS: Spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis mainly affects both ovaries, with tumors appearing solid or cystic. HE staining and histopathological analysis confirmed that the ovarian tumors originated from ovarian surface epithelium. Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed significantly decreased hemoglobin (P<0.01), hematocrit (P<0.05), albumin (P<0.05), and blood glucose levels (P<0.01), while lymphocyte percentage (P<0.05), monocyte percentage (P<0.05), cholesterol (P<0.01), and progesterone (P<0.01) levels were significantly increased. Expression of ovarian cancer-related genes, including ID3, CDC42, RHOA, RB1CC1, NF1, PIN1, MIB1, PDS5A, MCM7, and MLH1, was significantly downregulated (all P<0.05), while PAX8 gene expression was significantly upregulated (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical results showed that Wilms' tumor gene 1 (WT1) protein was mainly distributed throughout the cell, with significantly higher expression in ovarian cancer M. fortis. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) was expressed in both healthy and ovarian cancer M. fortis and was distributed throughout the cell. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF1B) and progesterone receptor (PR) protein were highly expressed in the ovarian tissue of healthy M. fortis but were significantly reduced in the ovarian cancer M. fortis, though both were located in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSIONS Spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis is serous ovarian cancer. Compared to healthy M. fortis, significant differences were observed in ovarian tissue morphology, biochemical indicators, ovarian cancer-related gene expression, and protein expression, which show similarity to the biological characteristics of human serous ovarian cancer. This suggests that M. fortis could be an ideal animal model for studying human serous ovarian cancer.

Aim To investigate the role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloidcells 2(TREM2)in syn-aptic plasticity induced by cocaine addiction.Methods C57BL/6J mice and Trem2 knockout mice were uti-lized in this study to evaluate the alterations in postsyn-aptic density protein 95(PSD-95)and synapsin 1(SYN1)within the cortex and hippocampus of co-caine-addicted mice by using immunological tech-niques.Results HE staining and Nissl staining showed increased neuronal damage in the hippocampus and cortex of mice after cocaine addiction.The results of immunohistochemistry and fluorescence of PSD-95 and SYN1 were consistent with the expression trend of Western blot.In the wild type mouse model,the ex-pression level of PSD-95 in the hippocampus and cortex was lower than that in the saline group,and the ex-pression of SYN1 was higher than that in the saline group.In the knockout mouse model,the expression levels of PSD-95 and SYN1 in the hippocampus and cortex were significantly higher than those in the saline group after cocaine addiction.The expression levels of PSD-95 and SYN1 in the hippocampus and cortex of cocaine knockout mice were higher than those of co-caine wild type mice.Conclusion Cocaine addiction can change the synaptic plasticity,and TREM2 plays a regulatory role in the synaptic plasticity of hippocampus and cortex in mice with cocaine injury.TREM2 is ex-pected to be a new target for studying the mechanism of cocaine addiction.

Objective To evaluate the value of high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall ima-ging(HRMR-VWI)in assessment of the severity of vascular stenosis in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods A total of 127 elderly ACI patients admitted to our department between May 2021 and January 2024 were retrospective enrolled,and according to the degree of vascular stenosis by digital subtraction angiography(DSA),they were divided into a normal group(31 cases),a mild group(40 cases),a moderate group(40 cases),and a severe group(16 cases).DSA and HRMR-VWI were performed to evaluate the plaque and severity of vascular stenosis.ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of HRMR-VWI parame-ters for the degree of vascular stenosis in the elderly ACI patients,and the AUC values of these parameters were calculated.Results Significant differences were observed in the HRMR-VWI pa-rameters such as plaque area and plaque burden among the normal,mild,moderate and severe groups(P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of the combined plaque area and plaque burden in diagnosis of mild,moderate and severe vascular stenosis in elderly ACI pa-tients was obviously higher than that of the two parameters alone(0.964 vs 0.822,0.843,P＜0.05;0.930 vs 0.795,0.776,P＜0.05;0.917 vs 0.786,0.792,P＜0.05).Conclusion HRMR-VWI can effectively evaluate vascular stenosis in elderly ACI patients,which providing important refer-ence for early treatment and prognosis improvement.

Objective To investigate the significance and clinical value of preoperative three-dimensional CT reconstruction of the whole abdomen guiding preserving the left colonic artery during laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer. Methods Patients with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected,then 87 patients with left colonic artery were screened out through three-dimensional CT reconstruction of the whole abdomen before surgery,who were randomly divided into the observation group (received intraoperative low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery,with preservation of the left colonic artery) with 40 cases and the control group (received intraoperative high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery without preservation of the left colonic artery) with 47 cases. The perioperative indexes and postoperative pathological results of the two groups were compared. Results The intraoperative blood loss in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the operation time was longer than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The incidences of postoperative intestinal obstruction and anastomotic leakage in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the first postoperative discharge time was earlier than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the degree of tumor differentiation,tumor size,adenocarcinoma classification,number of lymph nodes dissected at the root of the inferior mesenteric artery,or the stage of intestinal wall invasion depth of tumor between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The application of the three-dimensional CT reconstruction of the whole abdomen before surgery can understand the branch classification of the inferior mesenteric artery in advance,determine the location of the tumor and its adjacent relationship with the surrounding tissues,and determine the resection extent of intestinal segment. Intraoperative preservation of the left colonic artery can reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications in patients,which has positive clinical significance.
