Recent advances in large models demonstrate significant prospects for transforming the field of medical imaging. These models, including large language models, large visual models, and multimodal large models, offer unprecedented capabilities in processing and interpreting complex medical data across various imaging modalities. By leveraging self-supervised pretraining on vast unlabeled datasets, cross-modal representation learning, and domain-specific medical knowledge adaptation through fine-tuning, large models can achieve higher diagnostic accuracy and more efficient workflows for key clinical tasks. This review summarizes the concepts, methods, and progress of large models in medical imaging, highlighting their potential in precision medicine. The article first outlines the integration of multimodal data under large model technologies, approaches for training large models with medical datasets, and the need for robust evaluation metrics. It then explores how large models can revolutionize applications in critical tasks such as image segmentation, disease diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, and real-time interactive systems, thus pushing the boundaries of traditional imaging analysis. Despite their potential, the practical implementation of large models in medical imaging faces notable challenges, including the scarcity of high-quality medical data, the need for optimized perception of imaging phenotypes, safety considerations, and seamless integration with existing clinical workflows and equipment. As research progresses, the development of more efficient, interpretable, and generalizable models will be critical to ensuring their reliable deployment across diverse clinical environments. This review aims to provide insights into the current state of the field and provide directions for future research to facilitate the broader adoption of large models in clinical practice.

Objective: To analyze the results of national external quality assessment (EQA) for transfusion compatibility test from 2018 to 2023, with the aim of providing references for improving laboratory testing quality and ensuring the safety of clinical blood transfusion. Methods: Three EQA programs were conducted annually, each distributing 22 quality assessment samples. Participating transfusion laboratories were required to complete testing within specified deadlines and to submit results along with documentation of testing methodologies, reagents, and equipment used. National Center for Clinical Laboratories (NCCL) conducted statistical analysis of laboratory results, evaluated testing outcomes and related circumstances, and provided feedback to participating laboratories. EQA data from transfusion laboratories across China from 2018 to 2023 were collected and systematically analyzed. Results: From 2018 to 2023, the qualification rates for all five items (ABO forward typing, ABO reverse typing, Rh blood group typing, antibody screening, and cross-matching) were 67.59%, 77.11%, 77.38%, 72.78%, 79.96%, and 85.16%, respectively. The mean qualification rates for ABO forward typing, ABO reverse typing, RhD blood group typing, antibody screening, and cross-matching over the past six years were 96.25%±0.59%, 90.45%±4.52%, 96.05%±0.71%, 90.88%±2.86%, and 88.34%±3.48%, respectively. The qualification rates in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023 all showed a stable trend of "blood stations>tertiary hospitals>secondary hospitals". The mean qualification rate of laboratories in secondary hospitals from 2018 to 2023 was significantly lower than those of laboratories in tertiary hospitals and blood stations (P<0.05), while no significant difference was observed between laboratories in tertiary hospitals and blood stations (P>0.05). The micro column agglutination method was the most widely used in all five tests. In the four test items, namely ABO forward typing, ABO reverse typing, antibody screening, and cross-matching, there was a statistically significant difference in the qualification rate of micro column agglutination method compared to other methods (P<0.05). There was a statistical difference in the qualification rate between manual and automated detection using micro column agglutination method in the cross-matching tests (P<0.05), whereas no significant difference was noted for the other test items (P>0.05). Conclusion: From 2018 to 2023, the number of laboratories participating in EQA activities has been increasing year by year, and the qualification rate has shown an overall upward trend. The type of laboratory is a key factor affecting the qualification rate, and the testing capabilities of some laboratories still need to be improved. The micro column agglutination method is widely used in transfusion compatibility tests. The established EQA program effectively monitors quality issues in laboratories, drives continuous improvement, and ensures sustained enhancement of testing standards to safeguard clinical blood safety.

Objective To evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of upper arm vein approach in the implantation of totally implantable venous access port(TIVAP)under the guidance of ultrasound combined with DSA.Methods The clinical data of 1 546 patients with malignant tumors,who received TIVAP implantation via upper arm vein access under the guidance of ultrasound combined with DSA at the Affiliated Renji Hospital,School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University of China between January 2020 and January 2022,were retrospectively analyzed.The implantation success rate,single-puncturing success rate,operation time,and complications were compared between the PICC catheterization room and the DSA operating room.Results The technical success rate in the 1546 patients was 100％,with a single-puncturing success rate of 99.48％.In 766 patients the TIVAP implantation was performed in the PICC catheterization room(PICC group),and in 780 patients the TIVAP implantation was carried out in the DSA operating room(DSA group).The mean operation time in the DSA group was(20.1±1.3)min,which was obviously shorter than(25.4±1.9)min in the PICC group,and the incidence of primary catheter misplacement in the DSA group was 0％,which was remarkably lower than 0.78％in the PICC group(P＜0.05).No statistically significant differences in the incidences of complications,including infection,thrombosis,upper limb movement disorder,catheter occlusion,exposure of infusion port body,and overturn of infusion port body,existed between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided TIVAP via upper arm vein approach is a safe and effective infusion route for patients with malignancy receiving chemotherapy.The combination use of ultrasound guidance and intraoperative DSA guidance can reduce the operation time as well as the incidence of operation-related complications.

Objective To investigate the effect of left bundle branch area pacing(LBBaP)on new-onset atrial fibrillation(NOAF)and atrial high rate episodes(AHREs)in patients with atrioventricular block(AVB).Methods Eighty-four patients with Ⅲ°AVB for pacemaker implantaion were divided into the LBBaP group(n=42)and the RVSP group(n=42)based on the site of the ventricular leads.The two groupswere compared in terms of the pre-and post-operative QRSd,ventricular pacing parameters,complications,incidence of stroke,NOAF and AHREs.Results(1)The incidence of postoperative NOAF and AHREs in the LBBaP group was significantly lower compared with RVSP group(P<0.05).(2)The p-QRSd in the LBBaP group was significantly shorter compared with RVSP group(P<0.05).(3)The two groups showed no significant differences in ventricular pacing parameters,incidence of complications and stroke events(P>0.05).Conclusion LBBaP is superior to right ventricular pacing in reducing the incidence of postoperative AHREs and NOAF in patients after implantation and improving the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To summarise and analyse the experience in the diagnosis and management of abdominal aortic endograft infection in recent years.Methods:Retrospectively summarised and analysed the general data, clinical presentation, laboratory and imaging findings, causative organisms and treatment choices of 14 patients with abdominal aortic endograft infection treated in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2018 to June 2024, and analysed the prognosis of the patients and the risk factors associated with prognosis.Results:Positive bacterial cultures were 10 out of 14 patients. One non-operatively treated patient died of infectious toxic shock. Thirteen surgically treated patients underwent axillary-bifemoral artery bypass, removal of the infected stent, and closure of the aortic stump. Four of the 13 cases had combined aortoenteric fistula, 3 cases underwent one-stage enterocutaneous fistula repair, 1 case only fistula drainage, 3 cases of gastrojejunal anastomosis, all of them underwent gastric or jejunal nutrient tube implantation. Two of the 13 patients had combined the infection foci spread to the renal artery openings. To save the kidney, intraoperative left kidney autologous renal transplantation was performed in 1 case, and autologous saphenous vein reconstruction from celiac trunk artery-left renal artery and superior mesenteric artery-right renal artery was performed in the other case. All 14 patients were retrospectively summarised and followed up in August 2024, with 5 deaths in the early postoperative period (< 3 months), 3 deaths in the mid- to long-term period (≥3 months), and 5 survivors, with a median follow-up time of 2 years (1-5 years) for surviving patients. Among the 13 operated patients, 4 cases were combined with aortoenteric fistula, and 3 cases died in the early postoperative period; 4 cases of abdominal aortic infection foci involving renal artery openings, 2 cases of early postoperative death; 4 cases with pleural effusion, 4 cases died in the early postoperative period; 2 cases of combined creatinine elevation, 2 cases of early postoperative death; 2 cases of postoperative infection of artificial blood vessels.Conclusions:Abdominal aortic endograft infection are aggressive. The risk of early death is increased in patients who are elderly, in poor general condition, with aortoenteric fistula or with pre-existing cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic and renal insufficiency, but surgery based on adequate anti-infective therapy remains an effective means of saving the patient′s life.

Ischemic stroke （IS） is a serious cerebrovascular disease common in clinical practice. Targeting the pathogenesis of IS， intravenous thrombolysis for restoring blood flow is still the most effective therapy. However， intravenous thrombolysis has shortcomings such as increased bleeding risk， narrow therapeutic window， and contraindications， which limited its clinical application. Protection of the ischemic brain tissue before full recovery of blood flow is associated with the prognosis of IS. Studies have identified multiple pathways in the alleviation of the brain injury caused by IS， such as the mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has abundant therapies and unique advantages in the treatment of IS， especially in alleviating symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients. After the onset of IS， TCM can be integrated with Western medicine to play a role in the whole process of treatment， rehabilitation， and recurrence prevention as soon as possible， thus maximizing patient benefits. TCM has clinical significance for the recovery of neurological and motor functions after IS. Studies have shown that TCM can reduce the cerebral injury caused by IS by regulating and activating the mTOR signaling pathway， thereby regulating autophagy， inhibiting apoptosis of nerve cells， and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. TCM exerts a positive effect for achieving cerebral protection and improving the prognosis of IS and provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of IS. This article introduces the role of the mTOR signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of IS and reviews the research progress in the TCM regulation of this pathway in the treatment of IS， aiming to provide new therapeutic ideas and systematic scientific reference for the treatment of IS with TCM.

Objective To explore the neuroprotective role of Rab10 gene in depression and the mechanism mediating its effect.Methods Forty-eight male SD rats were randomized into a control group and 3 chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)groups(n=12).The rats in the latter 3 groups were subjected to injections of normal saline,an adeno-associated viral(AAV)vector,or a Rab10-overexpressing AAV vector in the lateral ventricle after CUMS modeling.The depressive behavioral changes of the rats were assessed using behavioral tests.The TargetScan database was used to predict the miRNA interacting with Rab10 and the binding sites.The interaction between miRNA-103-3p and Rab10 was investigated using dual-luciferase and radioimmunoprecipitation(RIP)assay.The effect of corticosterone treatment on PC12 cell viability was assessed with CCK-8 assay.In corticosterone-stimulated PC12 cells,the changes in BDNF,CREB,p62,Beclin-1,Wnt3a,Gsk3β,phosphorylated(p)-Gsk3β,and β-catenin protein expressions following transfection with the Rab10-overexpressing AAV vector and a miRNA-103-3p inhibitor,alone or in combination,were analyzed using qRT-PCR and Western blotting.Results Injection of Rab10-overexpressing AVV vector into the lateral ventricle significantly improved depressive behaviors of CUMS rats.The mRNA and proteins expression of Rab10 were significantly down-regulated in the hippocampus of CUMS rats and in corticosterone-stimulated PC12 cells.Bioinformatics analysis and the results of double luciferase and RIP experiments confirmed the targeting relationship between miRNA-103-3p and Rab10.In PC12 cells,overexpression of Rab10 or silencing miRNA-103-3p activated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,up-regulated the expressions of BDNF,CREB and Beclin-1,and down-regulated the expression of p62 protein;silencing Rab10 obviously blocked the effect of miRNA-103-3p inhibitor.Conclusion In mouse models of depression,miRNA-103-3p activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling via targeting rab10 to improve neural plasticity and promotes neural cell autophagy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of tofacitinib on early atherosclerosis of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and explore the possible relationship between lupus nephritis and early atherosclerosis of systemic lupus erythematosus.Methods:Sixteen 8-week-old female MRL/lpr mice with a body weight of 20~25 g were selected and randomly divided into the treatment group and placebo group, with 8 mice in each group. The treatment group diluted tofacitinib by normal saline, and given at a dose of 10 mg·kg -1·d -1, and the placebo group (starch tablets) administered the medication in the same way as the treatment group for a total of 8 weeks. The ELISA method was applied to detect serum anti-dsDNA antibody levels in the two groups of mice. Bradford method protein concentration was used to determine the level of urine protein in mice. Automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect blood lipids, urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, complement C3, complement C4 levels. Western blotting was used to determine the protein expression levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase family 1 (JAK1), signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) in aortic and kidney tissues. After the aortic arch section were prepared, oil red O was used to stain the sections, and the vascular plaque area and intimal thickness were evaluated by ImageJ software. The kidneys were dissected and stained with HE, and the active lesions of lupus nephritis were evaluated using the glomerular activity scoring system. SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis, in which the between-group comparison was performed using two independent samples t-test, and the correlation analysis was performed using the Spearman method.

The urine protein levels in the two groups were positively correlated with LDL, TC, TG, aortic plaque area and aortic intimal thickness ( r=0.67, P=0.004; r=0.68, P=0.004; r=0.53, P=0.033; r=0.80, P<0.001; r=0.74, P=0.001), and negatively correlated with HDL ( r=-0.57, P=0.021). Conclusion:The severity of lupus nephritis is correlated with atherosclerosis and dyslipidemia in the early stage of systemic lupus erythematosus. Tofacitinib may reduce the degree of early arteriosclerosis and lupus nephritis in MRL/LPR mice, and reduce blood lipid levels, which may be effective in improving the prognosis of SLE and improving the survival rate of patients.

A 19-year-old male patient was admitted to a community hospital in Yangpu District of Shanghai in September 2023 due to diarrhea (4 times per day, watery stool) for 3 consecutive days. The patient had a history of eating out at a barbecue restaurant the night before the onset. The case accorded with diarrhea disease surveillance, and the pathogen was isolated as "non-A-F serogroup Salmonella" by the public health laboratory in the area where the patient′s feces swab was collected. The strain was identified as Salmonella Urbana ST512 by serological typing, antimicrobial resistance phenotype, and whole genome sequencing analysis in the Reference Lab, and then compared with the regional serotype database of Salmonella in China. At last, the patient was cured after taking levofloxacin orally for 3 days.
