Objective:To predict the occurrence of chronic radiation enteritis (CRE) in cervical cancer patients by developing a prediction model based on the combination of radiomic features derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and clinical parameters, in order to provide a reference for clinicians to determine the prognosis of these patients and offer them individualized diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 111 cervical cancer patients who received radical radiotherapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. Radiological features were extracted from the T1-weighted MRI images of local lesions of cervical cancer obtained before the radiotherapy. Features were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) to obtain the radiomics score. The radiomics scores and clinical parameters were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, followed by the establishment of nomograms. The ability of radiomics to achieve CRE prediction was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC) and the calibration and decision curves.Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis result revealed that the independent risk factors for identifying CRE in patients included radiomics score ( HR: 17.457, 95% CI: 5.540-55.009, P<0.001), tumor volume ( HR: 3.617, 95% CI: 1.293-10.115, P=0.014), and pelvic lymph node metastasis ( HR: 3.559, 95% CI: 1.013-12.501, P=0.048). The model combining radiomics and clinical data demonstrated high performance, with its AUCs of the training and validation groups (0.888 and 0.870, respectively) higher than those of the radiomics model (0.842 and 0.804, respectively) and the clinical data model (0.721 and 0.704, respectively). The analyses of calibration and decision curves confirmed the application value of clinical radiomic nomograms. Conclusions:The model combining radiomics and clinical data allows for accurate CRE prediction. Therefore, radiomic features have the potential to serve as a promising imaging biomarker for CRE.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of neurocognitive dysfunction(PND)in patients with total knee arthroplasty(TKA)and construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods The clinical data of 249 patients with TKA admitted to our hospital from December 2022 to July 2024 were selected.Patients were divided into the modeling queue(n=174)and the verification queue(n=75)according to the ratio of 7∶3.At the same time,according to whether patients developed PND or not,the modeling queue was divided into the PND group(n=62)and the non-PND group(n=112),and the verification queue was divided into the PND group(n=27)and the non-PND group(n=48).The influencing factors of PND in TKA patients were analyzed,and a nomogram prediction model was established to verify.Results High debilitation score,general anesthesia,single analgesic regimen and high VAS score were risk factors of PND,while high albumin and hemoglobin levels were protective factors of PND(P＜0.05).The nomogram model was constructed,and the AUC of PND in the modeling queue and the verification queue was 0.875(95%CI:0.824-0.925)and 0.905(95%CI:0.835-0.975)respectively.The results of calibration curve analysis showed that the predicted risk of PND was basically consistent with the actual situation,and the results of Hosmer-Lemeshow showed that the model fit well.The results of clinical decision curve showed that the model had high clinical application value.Conclusion High debilitating score,general anesthesia,single analgesic regimen,high VAS score and low albumin and hemoglobin levels can increase the risk of PND in TKA patients.The nomogram prediction model constructed in this study is helpful for clinical identification of high-risk groups of PND.

The scientific research and innovation capabilities of medical students are intrinsically linked to the sustained and high-quality development of national healthcare initiatives.Cultivating outstanding medi-cal students with independent scientific capabilities and innovative consciousness is a critical component in the education and training of high-level medical professionals.Our investigation revealed that within the imperfections of the cultivating model,some faculty and students at medical schools have an insufficient understanding of scientific research and innovation and lack motivation for engaging in such activities,which hinder the progression of scientific research activities.Consequently,we initiated a teaching practice and exploratory study on the"tutorial system"aimed at fostering medical students'scientific research and innovation abilities.Based on the principle of"research informing teaching,teaching and research advan-cing together,"this study implements a"tutorial system"coordinated by tutors,supplemented by graduate and undergraduate student mentors,to cultivate innovative thinking,stimulate interest in scientific re-search,and enhance practical and research skills among medical students.Through collaborative efforts within"scientific research innovation teams,"various educational methods—including preliminary re-search,in-class and extracurricular activities,intra-group and inter-group interactions,and theoretical and practical applications—are employed to improve and strengthen the cultivation of medical students'scientif-ic research and innovation abilities.This study aims to provide valuable references for optimizing medical education management systems and enhancing the quality of medical student training.
