Colorectal polyps are important early markers of colorectal cancer, and their early detection is crucial for cancer prevention. Although existing polyp segmentation models have achieved certain results, they still face challenges such as diverse polyp morphology, blurred boundaries, and insufficient feature extraction. To address these issues, this study proposes a parallel coordinate fusion network (PCFNet), aiming to improve the accuracy and robustness of polyp segmentation. PCFNet integrates parallel convolutional modules and a coordinate attention mechanism, enabling the preservation of global feature information while precisely capturing detailed features, thereby effectively segmenting polyps with complex boundaries. Experimental results on Kvasir-SEG and CVC-ClinicDB demonstrate the outstanding performance of PCFNet across multiple metrics. Specifically, on the Kvasir-SEG dataset, PCFNet achieved an F1-score of 0.897 4 and a mean intersection over union (mIoU) of 0.835 8; on the CVC-ClinicDB dataset, it attained an F1-score of 0.939 8 and an mIoU of 0.892 3. Compared with other methods, PCFNet shows significant improvements across all performance metrics, particularly in multi-scale feature fusion and spatial information capture, demonstrating its innovativeness. The proposed method provides a more reliable AI-assisted diagnostic tool for early colorectal cancer screening.

AIM: To compare the effectiveness of foldable capsular body(FCB)with traditional scleral buckling(SB)in the treatment of experimental retinal detachment animal models.METHODS: After successfully establishing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)animal models, 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups(RRD models group, SB group, and FCB group), with 8 rabbits in each group. The FCB and SB groups underwent SB and FCB surgeries for the RRD animal models, while the RRD models group only consists of RRD models without any surgical intervention during the follow-up period. The follow-up duration was 3 mo. Wide-field neonatal fundus imaging system and ophthalmic B-ultrasound were used to assess the fundus conditions before and after surgery. The Icare® TONOVET Plus tonometer was utilized to evaluate intraocular pressure changes before and after surgery. The Eaton and Draize scoring systems were selected to monitor postoperative inflammatory reactions.RESULTS: The retinal reattachment rates in the FCB and SB groups were 87.5% and 75.0%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the groups(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure in both the FCB and SB groups increased postoperatively compared to preoperative levels(P<0.01), and there were no significant differences in intraocular pressure at any time points during the follow-up period between the groups(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure in the RRD models group remained at a low level throughout the follow-up period. The average surgical time for the FCB group was 16.87±2.29 min, which was shorter than 46.25±4.74 min in the SB group(t=-15.166, P<0.001). According to the Eaton and Draize scoring systems, the FCB group had lower grades of conjunctival hyperemia and edema in the early postoperative period compared to the SB group, indicating milder inflammatory reactions(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both FCB and SB are effective in treating experimental RRD. Compared to SB, FCB is simpler to operate, and also has a shorter surgical time and milder postoperative inflammatory reactions.

Objective:To clarify the effects of simple subtalar fusion on distribution of plantar pressures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 19 patients who had undergone simple subtalar fusion between January 2006 and December 2020 at Department of Orthopedics, Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. There were 13 males and 6 females with an age of (42.1±11.8) years and a duration of disease of 1.7 (1.0, 2.0) years. Another 14 normal subjects were recruited as normal controls [7 males and 7 females, with an age of (25.0±1.9) years]. The data of plantar pressure distribution were detected and analyzed by a Belgian Footscan? plantar pressure tester. The affected and healthy sides of the patients were compared with those of the normal group to analyze the peak pressures on different foot regions.Results:There was no significant difference in height or weight between the patients and the normal subjects ( P>0.05). The peak pressures on the first to the third metatarsal region of the forefoot and the medial region of the hindfoot of the affected foot were significantly lower than those of the normal foot in the patients ( P<0.05). The peak pressure on the forefoot region of a normal foot appeared in the third metatarsal region. In the patients, the peak pressure on the forefoot region of a healthy side shifted inward and appeared in the second metatarsal region, but the peak pressure on the forefoot region of an affected side shifted laterally and appeared in the fourth metatarsal region. The peak pressure on the midfoot of an affected side [(4.38±2.17) N/cm 2] was significantly higher than that on a healthy side [(3.04±1.80) N/cm 2] in the patients ( P=0.035). The peak pressures on the medial and lateral hindfoot regions of a healthy side were (7.12±1.91) N/cm 2 and (7.98±2.03) N/cm 2, respectively, showing no significant difference ( P=0.086). The peak pressure on the lateral hindfoot region of an affected side [(10.77±4.21) N/cm 2] was significantly higher than that on the medial hindfoot region [(8.71±2.89) N/cm 2] ( P=0.009). The peak plantar pressures on the affected side shifted to the lateral side in the patients. Conclusions:Subtalar fusion can exert significant effects on the distribution of plantar pressures. Specifically, the plantar pressures shift to the lateral side of an affected foot during all the gait stages while the plantar pressures on the healthy forefoot may compensate by transferring to the medial side in the patients.

Malignant hyperthermia(MH)is a rare perioperative disease with autosomal dominant inheritance,and its pathogenesis involves specific gene mutations.Its clinical feature is that conventional anesthetics can trigger abnormally high metabolic reactions in skeletal muscles.Although the incidence of this disease is low,the condition is dangerous,progresses rapidly,and has a high mortality rate;Its treatment relies on early diagnosis,timely application of the specific drug Dantrolene Sodium,and rapid and orderly comprehensive symptomatic supportive treatment.MH is a critical perioperative emergency that can occur during surgery.It presents with symptoms such as hyperpyrexia,metabolic acidosis,rhabdomyolysis,and dysfunction of multiple organ systems.If not treated promptly,it can quickly lead to life-threatening arrhythmias and cardiac arrest.This condition serves as an essential teaching example in anesthesia crisis resource management.As an effective teaching method,scenario simulation exercises can comprehensively enhance medical staff's personal technical,non-technical,and teamwork abilities through simulating emergency scenarios,teaching assessments,and retrospective discussions,especially suitable for comprehensive management training of fatal diseases.Many countries internationally have incorporated simulation exercises for MH into their routine teaching and training systems.The effectiveness of teaching and training for anesthesiologists in MH and their ability to handle anesthesia crisis events have been continuously improved through a periodic training model.This article systematically reviews the research progress and practical experience of scenario simulation exercises in emergency training for MH,with a focus on exploring how to establish a scenario simulation exercise plan for emergency application and comprehensive symptomatic support treatment of Dantrolene Sodium based on the actual situation in China,providing reference for improving the teaching and training quality of MH and other clinical crisis events.

Objective:To explore the learning patterns of resident physicians in anesthesiology when performing tracheal intubation guided by Shikani laryngoscope, and provide a reference for the skill training of clinical anesthesiologists.Methods:From August 2023 to December 2024, a total of 19 resident physicians specializing in anesthesiology participated in this study at Peking University Third Hospital. All resident physicians received standardized training on clinical skills. None of them had received specialized training in Shikani laryngoscope-guided tracheal intubation. The relevant theoretical teaching and practical guidance were provided by the same senior attending physician throughout the study. A flipped-classroom teaching model was adopted, and each student was instructed by the teaching physician to perform the procedure on 15 cases in chronological order, resulting in a total of 285 cases. The cumulative sum (CUSUM) value for each tracheal intubation was calculated, and the learning curve was plotted using R software. A fourth-order polynomial nonlinear regression model was used to fit the curve and estimate the 95% confidence interval of the learning curve. The first-order derivative function of the regression model was further analyzed to reveal the dynamic changes in proficiency with the number of training sessions. The CUSUM curve was segmented using the maximum statistics test to identify the optimal breakpoint.Results:The maximum selection test revealed that the breakpoint for the increase in CUSUM level was at the eighth attempt.Conclusions:Resident physicians in anesthesiology can master Shikani laryngoscope-guided tracheal intubation after eight standardized training sessions. Moreover, the participants showed high satisfaction with the flipped-classroom teaching model.
