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 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 explore the expression of connexin 43 (Cx43) in hippocampus of post-stroke depression (PSD) model rats and its effect on cell apoptosis and depressive-like behavior.Methods:Sixty SPF-grade male SD rats aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into five groups (12 rats in each group): normal group, stroke group, depression group, PSD group and carbenoxolone(CBX) group. The stroke model was established by injection of endothelin-1.Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) combined with solitary rearing was used to establish a depression model. Rats in PSD group were given CUMS and raised alone on the seventh day of stroke modeling.Rats in CBX group were given intraperitoneal injection of CBX(20 mg/kg) on 14th day after PSD modeling. The depressive-like behavior of rats was evaluated by sugar water preference test and open field test. The expression of Cx43 mRNA in hippocampus of rats was detected by RT-PCR, the expression levels of Cx43, caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot, and the changes of apoptosis rate were detected by TUNEL staining. SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis, the behavioral data were analyzed by repeated measurement ANOVA, the remaining data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, and the LSD- t test was used for further pairwise comparison. Results:(1)As for the preference rate of sugar water and the times of crossing the grid, the interaction effects between time and group were significant among the 5 groups( Finteraction=35.57, 111.43, both P<0.05). On the 28th day after operation, the preference rate of sugar water and the times of crossing grid in depression group and PSD group were lower than those in stroke group (all P<0.05), while the preference rate of sugar water and the times of crossing grid in CBX group were both lower than those in PSD group (both P<0.05). (2) The levels of Cx43 mRNA and Cx43 protein in the five groups were significantly different ( F=273.57, 64.56, both P<0.05). The levels of Cx43 mRNA and Cx43 protein in depression group ((0.59±0.05), (0.69±0.08)) and PSD group ((0.61±0.07), (0.63±0.12)) were lower than those in stroke group ((1.01±0.03), (1.05±0.08)) (all P<0.05). The levels of Cx43 mRNA and Cx43 protein in CBX group ((0.30±0.01), (0.37±0.09)) were lower than those in PSD group (both P<0.05). (3) The protein levels of caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax and the apoptosis rate of the five groups were significantly different ( F=102.40, 90.27, 47.42, 159.99, 115.21, all P<0.05). The levels of caspase-3, Bax protein, apoptosis rate in stroke group ((0.44±0.06), (0.54±0.07), (29.16±5.03)) and depression group ((0.45±0.07), (0.59±0.09), (27.00±4.93)) were higher than those in normal group ((0.21±0.08), (0.33±0.07), (4.83±3.18)) (all P<0.05), the levels of Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-2/Bax in stroke group ((0.80±0.04), (1.51±0.20)) and depression group ((0.60±0.09), (1.03±0.09)) were lower than those in normal group ((1.04±0.13), (3.14±0.38)) (all P<0.05).The levels of caspase-3, Bax protein and apoptosis rate in PSD group ((0.76±0.05), (0.84±0.02), (44.50±3.83)) were all higher than those in stroke group and depression group (all P<0.05), and the levels of Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-2/Bax in PSD group ((0.50±0.14), (0.59±0.17)) were lower than those in stroke group and depression group (both P<0.05). The levels of caspase-3 and Bax protein and the apoptosis rate in CBX group ((1.03±0.10), (1.02±0.05), (56.00±4.81)) were higher than those in PSD group (all P<0.05).The levels of Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-2/Bax in CBX group((0.26±0.08), (0.25±0.08)) were lower than those in PSD group (both P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression level of Cx43 in the hippocampus of PSD model rats is downregulated, which can promote cell apoptosis and exacerbate depressive behavior.

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.
