Objective To explore the effectiveness of the generative large language model MedGo in nursing decision-making for elderly patients with multimorbidity. Methods A quasi-randomized controlled trial study was conducted involving 6 junior nurses, 6 senior nurses and the MedGo model from January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025 at the Emergency Internal Medicine Ward of Shanghai East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University. Clinical data of 120 elderly patients with multimorbidity were analyzed to compare the performance of the three groups in four tasks (nursing diagnosis assessment, nursing intervention formulation, complication identification, and complication prevention) from three evaluation dimensions: decision-making time consumption, decision accuracy, and decision-making quality. Results In terms of decision-making time, the senior nurse group completed all four tasks faster than the junior nurse group (P＜0.01), and the MedGo group completed all four tasks faster than the junior nurse group (P＜0.001) and the senior nurse group (P＜0.001). In terms of decision-making accuracy, senior nurse group scored higher than junior nurse group in all four tasks (P＜0.001), while the MedGo group outperformed the senior nurse group only in complication identification (P＜0.001). In terms of decision-making quality, the MedGo group scored higher than junior nurse group (P＜0.001) and senior nurse group (P＜0.001) in all four tasks. Conclusions The MedGo model demonstrates advantages of high efficiency, accuracy, and quality in nursing decision-making for elderly patients with multimorbidity; senior nurses outperform junior nurses in decision-making, providing diverse references for clinical nursing decision-making.

Objective:To describe the clinical and pathological features of patients with myofasciitis.Methods:The clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination (laboratory, electromyogram, imaging and muscle biopsy) results of 52 patients with myofasciitis diagnosed by pathology at Peking University First Hospital from August 2002 to December 2024 were collected and analyzed.Results:Among the 52 patients (33 males and 19 females), the age of disease onset was (34.4±16.4) years (6.0-73.0 years) and the disease duration was 17.7 (0.3, 120.0) months; the main symptoms included myalgia in the distal limbs (28 cases, 53.8%), diffuse cutaneous or muscle sclerosis (21 cases, 40.4%), muscle weakness (22 cases, 42.3%) and limited joint activity (23 cases, 44.2%); 12 patients (23.1%) were combined with other diseases. All patients had no history of vaccination. Laboratory examinations showed that 80.8% (21/26) of patients had elevated C-reactive protein, 80.0% (20/25) had elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and 26.5% (9/34) had elevated creatine kinase. Among 19 patients undergoing electromyography, 6 cases showed myogenic changes, 4 cases showed neurogenic changes, 1 case showed both myogenic and neurogenic changes, and 8 cases showed no obvious abnormality. Myofascial edema was observed in all 15 patients who underwent muscle magnetic resonance imaging, with partial involvement of adjacent muscles in some cases. According to myopathological changes, the 52 patients were divided into macrophagic myofasciitis in 41 cases (78.8%), lymphocytic myofasciitis in 7 cases (13.5%), and eosinophilic fasciitis in 4 cases (7.7%). Among the 52 patients, fibroblast proliferation in the myofascia was present in 39 cases (75.0%), subfascial muscle fiber atrophy in 28 cases (53.8%), and scattered muscle fiber necrosis and regeneration in 15 cases (28.8%). Major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰexpression on muscle fibers was positive in 89.5% (34/38) of patients, and membrane attack complex deposition on muscle fibers and/or capillary walls was present in 39.5% (15/38) of patients. Among 25 patients with follow-up, all received low-dose oral glucocorticoids, and 7 additionally received methotrexate, intravenous immunoglobulin, or hydroxychloroquine. During follow-up, 22 patients showed clinical improvement, 1 patient remained stable, and 2 patients died.Conclusions:Non-vaccine-associated macrophagic myofasciitis is the most common pathological subtype of myofasciitis. A few patients are concomitant with other diseases. Muscle magnetic resonance imaging is helpful in the diagnosis of the disease. Most patients respond to immunosuppressive treatment.

Purpose To measure the spatial resolution in MRI quality control testing automatically based on the American College of Radiology(ACR)phantom using the support vector machine(SVM)method,and the feasibility,accuracy and measurement speed of this method are explored.Materials and Methods Quality control tests were performed using eight MRI devices at Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University.A retrospective study was conducted on 71 MRI quality control test images collected based on ACR phantoms between 2017 and 2019.The images were preprocessed by binarization,extraction region of interest and so on.An SVM-based classification model was constructed for analyzing the spatial resolution of dot arrays in row and column directions.The dataset was randomly split into a training set and a test set.The generalization performance of the classification model in this study was evaluated through accuracy,precision,recall and F1 score on the test set.Comparing the results of spatial resolution measurements obtained by both manual and automatic method,we demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of the method.Additionally,the time taken for the automatic spatial resolution measurement was recorded.Results In this study,the proposed method of automatically measuring the spatial resolution of ACR phantom test images using SVM was feasible,high accuracy and short time.In classification performance test,the accuracy of the spatial resolution of the row directional latices was 95%,the precision was 100%.The accuracy of the spatial resolution of the column directional latices was 97%,the precision was 100%.Among the test cases,the results of automatic measurements matched those of manual measurements in 13 out of 14 cases.On average,automatic spatial resolution measurement took 0.158 seconds per case.Conclusion This study achieves automatic measurement of spatial resolution in MRI quality control based on the ACR phantom using SVM method.The method demonstrates high accuracy and fast measurement speeds,holding significant implications for future rapid MRI quality control stability testing.

Purpose To explore an automatic detection method for quality control performance indicators of radio frequency coils based on American College of Radiology(ACR)phantom,and verify its accuracy stability and computational efficiency.Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 50 quality control images collected based on ACR phantom in Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University from May 2017 to July 2019.The measurement and calculation methods of signal noise ratio(SNR),percent image uniformity(PIU)and percent signal ghosting(PSG)were used to automatically calculate the above indicators using a self-designed program in Python.A simple linear regression analysis on the automatically calculated SNR,PSG and PIU values compared to the manually measured results was performed,and Bland-Altman analysis was used to calculate the percentage difference to evaluate the consistency and bias between the performance indicators calculated by the two methods.The time consumption of two detection methods was compared to verify their computational complexity and efficiency.Results There was a strong correlation between the performance indicators SNR,PSG and PIU of radio frequency coils measured and calculated automatically and manually(r=0.991 4,0.992 8 and 0.909 8,all P<0.0001).The Bland-Altman results showed that most of the data fall within the 95%confidence interval and were evenly distributed.In terms of computational complexity and efficiency,compared to the complex manual delineation and calculation of 2-3 minutes per case,automatic detection could simultaneously obtain SNR,PSG and PIU values in less than 1 second.Conclusion The automatic and manual measurement methods have good consistency,and the automatic detection method is easy to operate,which is helpful for the daily quality control work and performance monitoring of radio frequency coils.

Purpose To explore the diagnostic value of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography(2D-STE)in differentiating left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)caused by Fabry disease from other etiologies.Materials and Methods A total of 23 patients clinically confirmed Fabry disease with LVH(Fabry disease group)in Peking University First Hospital from August 2014 to February 2023,retrospectively.23 patients with hypertensive LVH(hypertensive LVH group)and 23 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)(HCM group)were also included.Conventional echocardiographic parameters and 2D-STE-derived left atrial strain and left ventricular longitudinal strain were analyzed and compared among the three groups.LASSO regression was used to select variables and construct a diagnostic model to differentiate hypertensive LVH,HCM and Fabry disease group.Results The Fabry disease group showed significantly reduced left ventricular global longitudinal strain and segmental left ventricular longitudinal strain in the basal anterior wall,basal anterolateral wall and mid inferior wall compared to the hypertensive LVH group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in left atrial strain,left ventricular global longitudinal strain and segmental left ventricular longitudinal strain between the Fabry disease and HCM groups(P>0.05).Compared to the conventional echocardiography-based model,the combined model did not significantly improve diagnostic accuracy for differentiating the three etiologies(Z=-1.314--0.594,all P>0.05).Conclusion Compared to patients with hypertensive LVH,HCM and Fabry disease group exhibit varying degrees of decrease in global and segmental longitudinal strain of the left atrium and left ventricle.Additional measurements of left ventricular longitudinal strain and left atrial strain do not provide significant incremental diagnostic value over conventional echocardiography in distinguishing among Fabry disease,hypertensive LVH and HCM.
