Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2025;41(9):1845-1852
ObjectiveTo establish a nomogram predictive model based on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography-related parameters and liver-to-muscle ratio, and to investigate the application value of this model in preoperative assessment of liver reserve function in patients with hepatic space-occupying lesion. MethodsClinical data and Gd-EOB-DTPA MRI imaging data were collected from 112 patients with hepatic space-occupying lesion who were hospitalized and scheduled for surgery in Wuming Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from April 2022 to April 2024. According to the degree of liver injury, the patients were divided into Child-Pugh class A group (65 patients with compensated liver function) and Child-Pugh class B+C group (47 patients with decompensated liver function, including 42 patients with Child-Pugh class B liver function and 5 patients with Child-Pugh class C liver function). The two groups of patients were measured in terms of liver-to-muscle ratio, relative signal intensity of the common bile duct, and bile duct score in different phases of contrast-enhanced CT scan, and univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent predictive factors and establish a nomogram model. In addition, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the calibration curve, and the decision curve were plotted to assess the discriminatory ability, accuracy, and clinical application value of the model. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of data with skewed distribution between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsThere were significant differences between the two groups in liver-to-muscle ratio at 5 minutes (Z=-3.99, P0.001), 10 minutes (Z=-4.39, P0.001), 15 minutes (Z=-4.23, P0.001), and 20 minutes (Z=-5.40, P0.001) during the hepatobiliary phase, the relative enhancement degree of the common bile duct (Z=-4.85, P0.001), and bile duct score (t=7.99, P0.001). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that liver-to-muscle ratio at 10 minutes during the hepatobiliary phase (odds ratio [OR]=0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44 — 0.90, P0.05), liver-to-muscle ratio at 20 minutes during the hepatobiliary phase (OR=0.38, 95%CI: 0.17 — 0.82, P0.05), and bile duct score (OR=0.17, 95%CI: 0.07 — 0.39, P0.05) were independent influencing factors for the preoperative diagnosis of liver function decompensation. The nomogram model established based on liver-to-muscle ratio at 10 minutes during the hepatobiliary phase, liver-to-muscle ratio at 20 minutes during the hepatobiliary phase, and bile duct score had an area under the ROC curve of 0.905 (95%CI: 0.849 — 0.960), with a sensitivity of 78.7% with a specificity of 89.2%. ConclusionThe nomogram model established based on the liver-to-muscle ratio at 10 and 20 minutes during the hepatobiliary phase and bile duct score can effectively assess the status of liver reserve function in patients with hepatic space-occupying lesion before surgery.

Objective:
To explore the associations of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) among primary and secondary school students and their parents, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted physical activity promotion strategies for children and adolescents.
Methods:
From 2021 to 2022, basic information and 24 h movement behaviors of 2 484 pairs of students and their parents were collected from five primary and secondary schools in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, with a convenient sampling combining with cluster sampling method. Component regression models were constructed to analyze the relationship between parental MVPA, SB and primary and secondary school students MVPA and SB, and a component isochronous substitution model was used to explore the effects of mutual substitution between parental MVPA, residual components (time use components other than SB during the 24 h period), and SB on the behavioral activities of MVPA and SB in primary and secondary school students.
Results:
Parental MVPA and SB of students in grade 1 to 3 were positively correlated with both students MVPA and SB ( β=0.06, 0.12, P <0.01). The component isochronous substitution model showed that substituting 10 and 20 minutes of MVPA for SB by parents in grade 1 to 3 was associated with an increase in MVPA of students, and substituting 10 and 20 minutes of residual ingredients for SB was associated with a decrease in SB of students, with mean changes of 0.8 (95% CI =0.4-1.2) and 1.4 (95% CI =0.7-2.2) and -1.4 (95% CI =-1.7 to -1.1) and -2.9 (95% CI =-3.4 to -2.3)( P <0.05). No statistically significant associations were observed between parents of students in grades 4 to 6 and 7 to 9 and students physical activity and sedentary behaviour ( P >0.05).
Conclusions
Parents of students in grades 1 to 3 increases MVPA and decrease SB are beneficial to increase MVPA and decrease SB of students. Parents could promote physical activity among primary and secondary school students, and the intervention gateway should be advanced, with the low grades as the optimal intervention period.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery and to identify risk factors associated with SSI in an attempt to provide a reference for clinical prevention strategies.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data were retrospectively collected from a total of 2,248 patients who underwent surgery for pathologically confirmed CRC between 2017 and 2022 at two centers: Huangshan Shoukang Hospital ( n=649) and Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital ( n=1 599). Inclusion criteria consisted of the following: (1) age >18 years; (2) pathologically confirmed CRC treated with curative resection, including extended resections (e.g. pelvic exenteration); (3) no surgical incisions other than abdominal or perineal; and (4) no use of prosthetic implants. The incidence of SSI was analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent its risk factors. Results:A total of 121 patients (5.4%) developed SSI. Among them, 68 cases (56.2%) were organ/space infections, 35 cases (28.9%) were deep incisional infections, and 18 cases (14.9%) were superficial incisional infections. The median postoperative hospital stay was significantly longer in patients with SSI compared to those without (21.0 days vs. 13.0 days, U=65,754, P<0.001). The median hospitalization cost was also significantly higher in the SSI group (56,550 yuan vs. 43,645 yuan, U=72,008, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified body mass index (BMI) ≤ 20 kg/m 2 (OR=4.25, 95%CI: 3.38-5.34, P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR=3.44, 95%CI: 1.89-6.24, P<0.001), open surgery (OR=4.23, 95%CI: 2.37-7.56, P<0.001), and colostomy or ileostomy (OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.04-2.69, P=0.034) as independent risk factors for SSI. Conclusion:To prevent SSI following CRC surgery, attention should be given to optimizing body weight and glycemic control, promoting minimally invasive surgical approaches when feasible, and cautiously considering the necessity of colostomy or ileostomy.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze a patient with infertility due to complex chromosome rearrangement by optical genome mapping (OGM).
METHODS:
A female patient who was diagnosed with "primary infertility" at Shenzhen Longhua District Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in April 2024 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient was collected. Chromosome G banding karyotyping analysis was carried out for the patient and her parents, in addition with OGM and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq). This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No.: 2023052504).
RESULTS:
The patient, a 33-year-old female, had infertility for the past 5 years. OGM revealed formation of two derivative chromosomes through rearrangement of chromosomes 5 and 18. A loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 5 was also detected by OGM and CNV-seq techniques. Both of her parents had a normal karyotype.
CONCLUSION
The OGM technique can refine the position of chromosomal breakpoints and determine the direction and position of insertional fragment. Combined with karyotype analysis, the OGM can accurately determine the chromosomal karyotype of the patient and facilitate genetic counseling.

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a serious retinal vascular disease, often accompanied by systemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the eye changes include macular edema, retinal ischemia, and even neovascularization, etc. As a common chronic disease of the fundus, it seriously affects patients' vision and quality of life. With the development of optical coherence tomography, the role of choroid in the occurrence and development of RVO has become a research hotspot. The research on the changes of the choroid layer of the eye with RVO has expanded from a simple two-dimensional thickness analysis to a more comprehensive multidimensional observation index such as three-dimensional volume, blood flow density and velocity. In addition, some cutting-edge research combines artificial intelligence algorithm techniques to improve the accuracy and depth of analysis. In the future, it is still necessary to further improve the data of the choroid layer of the eye with RVO, enhance the overall understanding of RVO, and provide new ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of RVO.
