This paper proposes a two-stage method integrating visual foundation models （VFM） and diffusion models. The segment anything model （SAM） as VFM is combined with the SegRefiner diffusion model to construct the SAM-SegRefiner framework for automated segmentation of edema， inflammation， and thrombus regions in histopathological images of hemorrhoidal tissue， providing a reproducible technical tool for the objective quantification of pathological morphology and its application in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome research. Trained and validated on multi-center retrospective data， the SAM-SegRefiner model achieved an average pixel accuracy of 95.32% and a mean intersection over union （mIoU） of 66.81% on an independent test set， significantly outperfor-ming comparative models such as U-Net， MixU-Net， and SAM-Med2D， and also demonstrating robust cross-center generalization capability. Furthermore， by correlating the quantitatively segmented results from the model with the patients' TCM syndrome types， the potential associations between pathomorphological features and TCM syndrome differentiation have been explored. The analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in the degree of inflammatory infiltration and thrombus formation among different syndrome types， suggesting a complex relationship between local pathological changes and systemic syndrome manifestations.

Objective To explore the application effects of a discharge planning service program based on King's Goal Attainment Theory in patients undergoing transcatheter heart valve surgery.Methods Using convenience sampling method,80 patients who underwent transcatheter heart valve surgery at a tertiary comprehensive hospital in Zhejiang Province from August 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the research subjects.Among them,40 patients from November 2023 to January 2024 were selected as an experimental group.A discharge preparation service plan for patients undergoing transcatheter heart valve surgery based on King's Goal Attainment Theory was adopted.Totally 40 patients who underwent transcatheter heart valve surgery from August to October 2023 were selected as a control group and underwent routine measures for discharge preparation.The differences in the scores of the discharge preparation scale,discharge guidance quality scale,self-management scale for patients after mechanical heart valve replacement surgery,and unplanned readmission rate were compared between 2 groups before and after intervention.Results During the application of the plan,a total of 2 cases were excluded,and 38 cases were included in the experimental group and 40 cases were included in the control group.After intervention,the experimental group had higher scores in discharge readiness,discharge guidance quality,and self-management ability than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).The unplanned readmission rate within 30 days in the experimental group(2.63％)was lower than that in the control group(7.50％),and the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion The discharge preparation service plan for patients undergoing transcatheter heart valve surgery based on King's Goal Attainment Theory can improve the discharge preparation,discharge guidance quality,and self-management ability of patients undergoing transcatheter heart valve surgery,and has a positive effect on improving their quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of falls among the elderly community population in Beijing.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using stratified multistage random sampling to select urban and rural residents aged 65 years and older in Beijing. Mortality data was collected after the baseline survey for 5 years. The incidence of falls was weighted based on the composition ratios of age and gender from the 2010 Nation-wide Population Census of Beijing. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the impacts of demographic sociology of common chronic diseases on fall occurrence. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the fall and 5-year survival association.Results:A total of 2 968 participants completed the questionnaire, at cross-sectional survey, with an average age of (73.2±6.0) years, and 1 581 (53.8%) participants were female. Three hundred and sixty-one individuals experienced a fall within the past year. Among those who fell, 64 (17.7%) fell twice, and 95 (26.6%) fell three or more times. Of them, 14.4% (52) had post-fall fractures, with the wrist, knee, and hip being the most common fracture sites, accounting for 25.0%, 17.3%, and 15.4%, respectively. The weighted fall incidence was 12.4% (95% CI: 11.2%-13.5%). Aging, being female, and living in rural areas were more likely to fall. Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, and urban-rural status, the risk of falls for those living alone ( OR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.08-2.04) or living with children/grandchildren ( OR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.15-1.97) were significantly higher than those living with their spouse. In addition, the risk of falls was elevated significantly among the elderly with hypertension, diabetes, stroke, dementia, depression status, urinary incontinence, arthritis, insomnia, vision, and hearing loss, dependence on activities of daily living (ADL), general and poor self-rated health (SRH). The Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that the 5-year risk of death increased by 65% ( HR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.29-2.11) for those who experienced a fall, which increased with fall frequency. This elevated risk persisted after adjusting for chronic conditions, ADL, and SRH. Conclusions:Ageing, female, living in rural regions, having common chronic diseases, dependence on ADL, general and poor SRH, living alone or living with children/grandchildren were associated with the elevated fall risk. The occurrence of fall was seasonal. The most common short-term adverse consequence after a fall was fractures, while the long-term effect was an increased risk of death.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of serum soluble semaphorin 4D (sSema4D) and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with primary hypertension (EH).Methods:Eighty-four patients with EH combined with LVH admitted to Qingdao Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from December 2022 to December 2023 were prospectively selected as the study group, and 84 patients with EH and without LVH admitted to Qingdao Hospital of Shandong First Medical University during the same period were regarded as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was applied to detect the levels of sSema4D and sCD40L. Employing Pearson correlation coefficient, the study assessed the association between concentrations of sSema4D and sCD40L in serum and various echocardiographic measurements. A multivariate Logistic regression model was engaged to probe into the contributing factors for the development of LVH. ROC curve was plotted to analyze the diagnostic value of serum sSema4D and sCD40L for EH combined with LVH.Results:Serum sSema4D and sCD40L levels were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group: (8.56 ± 2.19) μg/L vs. (5.12 ± 1.43) μg/L, (4.02 ± 1.03) μg/L vs. (3.22 ± 0.98) μg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The duration of hypertension, LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT, and LVMI were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group: (7.33 ± 1.53) years vs. (4.26 ± 1.35) years, (50.28 ± 3.33) mm vs. (44.45 ± 3.76) mm, (11.64 ± 3.21) mm vs. (9.53 ± 2.89) mm, (12.45 ± 1.52) mm vs. (9.13 ± 0.98) mm, (126.11 ± 15.28) g/m 2 vs. (81.15 ± 11.31) g/m 2, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). According to Pearson correlation analysis, it was known that both serum sSema4D and sCD40L were positively correlated with LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT and LVMI ( r = 0.425 and 0.533, 0.612 and 0.436, 0.513 and 0.628, 0.589 and 0.618; P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension duration, LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT, LVMI, sSema4D, sCD40L were risk factors for LVH in EH patients ( P<0.05). According to the ROC curve, the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sSema4D was 0.848, the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sCD40L was 0.725, and the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sCD40L was 0.888, the combination of sCD40L and sCD40L was superior to their respective individual diagnoses ( Z = 2.651 and 2.526, P<0.05). Conclusions:The serum levels of sSema4D and sCD40L in patients with EH combined with LVH are obviously elevated, which are influencing factors for the occurrence of EH combined with LVH. Combined testing of the two has high diagnostic value for EH combined with LVH.

BACKGROUND:Patients with lumbar disc herniation have different physical deformities due to nucleus pulposus compression and mechanical imbalance. On this basis,Professor Feng Tianyou proposed the "four-step waist type." Professor Feng Wei proposed the objective quantification of three-dimensional scoliosis angle "four-step waist type."OBJECTIVE:To explore the application value of three-dimensional scoliosis angle in evaluating the efficacy of Feng's spinal manipulation in the treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation.METHODS:A total of 149 hospitalized patients with lumbar disc herniation were enrolled sequentially,including 96 cases of type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ and 55 cases of type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ. The patients were treated with manual therapy for 2 weeks,and 10 healthy volunteers were included as healthy controls. The three-dimensional scoliosis angle was measured using surface topography technology. The difference of three scoliosis angles between patients with type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ and type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ was compared before and after treatment. The difference between patients after treatment and healthy subjects was compered. The difference of three-dimensional scoliosis angles between type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ and type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ after treatment was compared. The intrinsic correlation of each projection plane of three-dimensional scoliosis angle and its correlation with commonly used clinical efficacy scores were explored.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The three-dimensional scoliosis angle was significantly different in patients with type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ and type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ before and after treatment (P<0.05). (2) There were significant differences in coronal curve angle and transverse curve angle between patients with type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ,type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ and healthy subjects (P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in sagittal curve angle (P>0.05). (3) There was a correlation between the angles of each section of the three-dimensional angle,and there was a correlation between the three-dimensional angle and the subjective scale. (4) It is indicated that the three-dimensional scoliosis angle can quantitatively evaluate the changes of body deformity before and after treatment. Quantitative indicators can reveal the changes in the patient's condition before and after treatment. The three-dimensional scoliosis angle can reflect the severity of the impact on the patient's living conditions,but the evaluation of scoliosis by a single plane parameter has certain limitations.
