Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasound radiomics combined with machine learning for early diagnosis of seronegative Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (SN-HT) .Methods:This retrospective study included 164 patients from Liaoning Provincial People’s Hospital , Lixin County People’s Hospital, Linghai Dalinghe Hospital, Fengcheng Phoenix Hospital, who underwent thyroidectomy for solitary nodules with normal thyroid function between Nov. 2016 and Jan. 2024. Postoperative pathology confirmed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) in some cases, who were further categorized into antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups based on serum antibody status. Patients without Hashimoto’s thyroiditis served as the control group. A total of 298 ultrasound images were analyzed. Radiomics features were extracted from hypoechoic non-nodular areas within 0.5 cm surrounding the tumor. Two senior pathologists and two senior ultrasound physicians independently assessed lymphocytic infiltration, eosinophilic changes of follicular epithelium, and the proportion of hypoechoic areas in pathology and ultrasound images, respectively. A machine learning model, CCH-NET, was developed using linear regression and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) techniques. The dataset was divided into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%) to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CCH-NET with that of senior ultrasound physicians. Results:In internal validation, CCH-NET achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 88.89% for both antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups, significantly higher than the 66.67% accuracy of senior ultrasound physicians ( P<0.01). In external validation, CCH-NET achieved 75.00% and 66.67% accuracy for the two groups, compared to 50.00% by senior ultrasound physicians. For the control group, both methods achieved 93.33% accuracy. The AUC of CCH-NET was 0.848, outperforming senior ultrasound physicians (0.681) ,demonstrating superior diagnostic performance. Conclusion:The radiomics-based CCH-NET model, using non-nodular hypoechoic areas as a specific indicator, can accurately identify early SN-HT in euthyroid patients. It significantly outperforms senior ultrasound physicians, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing missed diagnoses.

Cleft lip and palate, as one of the most common congenital deformities of the oral and maxillofacial region, not only affects the physiological functions of patients, but also has a profound impact on their psychological well-being. Traditional sequential treatment for cleft lip and palate aims to restore primary functions and typically concludes intervention after orthodontic treatment. However, this management protocol often fails to meet patients′ expectations for esthetic outcomes. In the process of dental esthetic restoration, it is essential to adhere to the principles of comprehensive planning, sequential treatment, and tooth preservation, while formulating individualized treatment strategies. This article delves into the main challenges and corresponding therapeutic measures in dental esthetic restoration following sequential treatment for cleft lip and palate patients. It systematically analyzes the causes, clinical manifestations, and treatment methods for esthetic defects in dental arch space, dental hard tissues, and periodontal soft tissues. The study proposes that dental esthetic restoration can be implemented during three critical phases of sequential treatment: the mixed dentition stage, early permanent dentition stage, and adulthood stage to reduce the complexity of subsequent treatments, thereby preserving more dental and periodontal tissues. Through multidisciplinary collaboration and the application of digital technology, not only has the efficiency and predictability of treatment been enhanced, but more economical and effective treatment options have also been provided for patients. The aim is to offer clinicians comprehensive treatment insights, promoting a shift in the treatment philosophy for cleft lip and palate patients from "function-oriented" to a multidimensional approach that equally emphasizes" function-aesthetics-psychosocial aspects", ultimately achieving a comprehensive improvement in patients′ quality of life.

Objective:To assess the association between temperature and risk of animal injury, and identifying vulnerable populations.Methods:Based on a time-stratified case-crossover design, the number of animal injuries monitored in hospitals of Guangdong Provincial Injury Surveillance System in 2011 and 2015-2016 was included, and the daily meteorological data were derived from the fifth generation of European ReAnalysis-Land, which was produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Conditional logistic regression combined with a distributed lagged nonlinear model was applied to analyze the association of temperature and animal-specific injuries. We also conducted stratified analysis by region, sex, age, occupation, and location of injury occurrence.Results:There was an almost linear relationship between temperature and the occurrence of animal injury. The excess risk ( ER) of animal injury was 2.65% (95% CI: 2.27%-3.04%) for a 1 ℃ rise in temperature with much higher risk of occurrence ( ER=9.34%, 95% CI: 7.57%-11.13%) for non-mammalian injury than that for mammalian injuries ( ER=2.30%, 95% CI: 1.90%-2.70%). Stratified analysis revealed that the occurrence of animal injury was more susceptible to temperature influences in urban ( ER=2.78%, 95% CI: 2.35%-3.21%), female ( ER=2.71%, 95% CI: 2.16%-3.27%), the elderly aged 60 years and above ( ER=3.05%, 95% CI: 1.65%- 4.47%), farmer ( ER=4.66%, 95% CI: 3.03%-6.32%) and agricultural area ( ER=10.63%, 95% CI: 7.57%-13.79%) than their correspondents. In terms of mammalian injury, dog bites showed the highest risk ( ER=2.71%, 95% CI: 2.12%-3.30%). In terms of non-mammalian,snake injuries were highly influenced by temperature ( ER=16.74%, 95% CI: 11.33%-22.40%). Conclusions:The ambient temperature rises could increase the risk of animal injury with much higher risk for non-mammalian than that for mammalian injuries. Our findings suggest that global warming may increase the risk and disease burden from animal injuries.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the final stage of cardiovascular diseases. It is a complex syndrome, with dyspnea and edema as the main clinical manifestations, and it is characterized by complex disease conditions, difficult cure, and high mortality. Ferroptosis, a new type of programmed cell death, is different from other types of programmed cell death. Ferroptosis is iron-dependent, accompanied by lipid peroxide accumulation and mitochondrial shrinkage, becoming a hot research topic. Studies have confirmed that ferroptosis plays a key role in the occurrence and development of CHF. The regulation of ferroptosis may become a potential target for the treatment of CHF in the future. The theory of Qi deficiency and stagnation refers to the pathological state of original Qi deficiency and abnormal transportation and distribution of Qi, blood, and body fluid, which has guiding significance for revealing the pathogenesis evolution of some chronic diseases. We believe that Qi deficiency and stagnation is a summary of the pathogenesis of ferroptosis in CHF. Deficiency of Qi (heart Qi) is the root cause of CHF, and stagnation (phlegm turbidity and blood stasis) is the branch of this disease. The two influence each other in a vicious circle to promote the development of this disease. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays an important role in the treatment of CHF, improving the prognosis and quality of life of CHF patients. This paper explores the correlation between the theory of Qi deficiency and stagnation and the mechanism of ferroptosis in CHF. Furthermore, this paper reviews the mechanism of Chinese medicines and compound prescriptions in preventing and treating CHF by regulating ferroptosis according to the principles of replenishing Qi and dredging to remove stagnation, aiming to provide new ideas and methods for the treatment of CHF with TCM.

Objective To explore the safety of Yttrium-90 resin microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (90Y-SIRT) on malignant liver tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 64 patients with malignant liver tumors who underwent 90Y-SIRT from February 2023 to November 2024 at Weifang People’s Hospital. The clinical characteristics of the patients and the occurrence of adverse reactions after treatment were analyzed to assess the safety of 90Y-SIRT. Results Among the 64 patients, there were 52 males (81.25%) and 12 females (18.75%); the average age was (56.29±11.08) years. Seven patients (10.94%) had tumors with maximum diameter of less than 5 cm, 38 patients (59.38%) had tumors with maximum diameter of 5-10 cm, and 19 patients (29.68%) had tumors with maximum diameter of greater than 10 cm. There were 47 cases (73.44%) of solitary lesions and 17 cases (26.56%) of multiple lesions; 53 cases (82.81%) were primary liver cancers and 11 cases (17.19%) were metastatic liver cancers. Of the 64 patients, 63 successfully completed the Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) perfusion test and received the 90Y-SIRT; one patient received 90Y-SIRT after the second 99mTc-MAA perfusion test due to a work error. The most common adverse reactions included grade 1 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation in 26 cases (40.62%) and grade 2 in 2 cases (9.37%), grade 1 aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation in 27 cases (42.18%) and grade 2 in 7 cases (10.93%); grade 1 nausea in 17 cases (26.56%) and grade 2 in 6 cases (9.37%); grade 1 abdominal pain in 12 cases (18.75%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%); grade 1 vomiting in 11 cases (17.18%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%). Conclusion The adverse reactions of 90Y-SIRT for treating malignant liver tumors are mild, indicating good safety.

Objective:To analyze the time to reach full enteral feedings (TFEF) among preterm infants with gestational age (GA)<32 weeks admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN).Methods:This was a retrospective analysis based on the database from the CHNN 89 participating centers between January 1 st, 2019 and December 31 st, 2022. All 16 155 preterm infants with a GA <32 weeks and a birth weight <1 500 g, admitted to the NICU within 24 h after birth, hospitalization for at least 7 d and achieved full enteral feedings before discharge were included. According to the birth weight, these infants were divided into extremely low birth weight (ELBW) group and very low birth weight (VLBW) group. The practice characteristics of TFEF across different GA, the severity of neonatal admission, the NICU interventions before reaching full enteral feeding, and relevant neonatal diseases were described. Mann-Whitney U tests or Kruskal-Wallis H tests was used for comparison between groups. Results:Among the 16 155 preterm infants with a GA <32 weeks, 8 505 case (52.6%) were male. The TFEF in 3 374 cases of ELBW groups was 32 (22, 46) d, 351 cases (10.4%) with TFEF ≤2 weeks, 1 050 cases (31.1%) with TFEF >2-4 weeks, 964 cases (28.6%) with TFEF >4-6 weeks, and 1 009 cases (29.9%) with TFEF >6 weeks. The TFEF in 12 781 cases of VLBW group was 22 (15, 32) d, 439 cases (3.4%) with TFEF ≤1 week, 2 565 cases (20.1%) with TFEF >1-2 weeks, 5 526 cases (43.2%) with TFEF >2-4 weeks, and 4 251 cases (33.3%) with TFEF >4 weeks. The TFEF was 36(23, 52) d of 625 preterm infants at a GA ≤25 weeks and 20 (13, 28) d of 2 606 preterm infants at a GA 31 weeks. Inborn infants had a shorter TFEF than those outborn infants and the infants with breast-fed achieved shorter than formula and mixed feeding both in ELBW and VLBW groups (all P<0.001). The earlier enteral feeding started, the shorter TFEF will be both in ELBW and VLBW groups (both P<0.001). The TFEF of preterm infants who were treated before full enteral feeding like peripherally inserted central catheters, and blood transfusions and blood product providers were all longer than those who were not treated (all P<0.001). The TFEF of preterm infants with complications like hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, late onset sepsis, severe retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were all longer than those without (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The distribution of TFEF in VLBW and ELBW has a large difference. The TFEF of preterm infants varies with different GA, treatment measures and complications. Further quality improvement is required to shorten TFEF.
