Objective:To explore the application value of reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent(Ret-He)for diagnosing latent iron deficiency in female plateletpheresis donors.Methods:A total of 230 female plateletpheresis donors in Fujian Blood Center from January to February 2022 were selected as the research group and divided into three groups:normal group,iron depletion(ID)group and iron deficient erythropoiesis(IDE)group,according to the severity of iron deficiency.The level of hemoglobin(HGB),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH),coefficient of variation of red cell distribution width(RDW-CV)and Ret-He were measured by using the Sysmex XN automated hematology analyzer.Chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to detect iron biochemical indexes.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnosic value of relevant indicators in female blood donors with latent iron deficiency.Results:Ret-He in ID group was 32.55(31.15,33.10)pg,which was significantly lower than that in the normal group[33.80(32.73,34.70)pg](P＜0.05),and significantly higher than that in IDE group[30.40(28.70,31.50)pg](P＜0.05).ROC analysis in diagnosis of IDE demonstrated that the area under the curves(AUCs)of HGB,MCV,MCH,RDW-CV and Ret-He were 0.892,0.843,0.909,0.890,0.931,respectively.When the critical value of Ret-He was 32.05 pg,its sensitivity and specificity were 85.90％and 92.60％,respectively.However,all red blood cell parameters had poor diagnostic value for ID.Conclusion:Ret-He is a perfect predictor for latent iron deficiency in female blood donors.Detection of Ret-He can advance the diagnosis of iron deficiency in female blood donors to the IDE stage.

Aim To explore the correlation between coronary artery calcification score(C ACS)and retinal arte-riosclerosis using artificial intelligence assisted analysis software.Methods 511 examinees who underwent physical examinations in the Department of Health Medicine of General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command in 2022 were selected as the research subjects,they were divided into a coronary artery calcification(CAC)group(＞0,261 cases)and a non CAC group(=0,250 cases)based on the Agatston score,the clinical data of the two groups of examinees were compared using independent sample t-tests and chi square tests.According to the condition of retinal arteriosclerosis,the examinees were divided into three groups:normal retinal artery group,weakened retinal artery elasticity group and retinal arterioscle-rosis group.Kruskal Wallis H test was used to compare the quantitative indicators of CACS and retinal microvasculature among the three groups;Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between CAC grading and clinical indicators,as well as quantitative indicators of retinal microvasculature;binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between retinal arteriosclerosis and CAC.Results The age,number of smokers,waist circumference,hip circumference,waist to hip ratio(WHR),body mass index(BMI),systolic blood pressure,serum creatinine(SCr),blood uric acid(BUA),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),fasting blood glucose(FBG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),triglyceride(TG)in the CAC group were higher than those in the non CAC group,and the difference was statistically sig-nificant(all P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in total CACS and AVR among the three groups of normal retina,weakened retinal artery elasticity and retinal arteriosclerosis(all P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference in CRAE and CRVE(all P＞0.05).The CACS level and total score were positively correlated with age,smok-ing status,waist circumference,hip circumference,WHR,BMI,systolic blood pressure,BUN,SCr,BUA,homocysteine(Hey),FBG,2 hour postprandial blood glucose(2h PBG),HbA1c,TG(all P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with gender,total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDLC;all P＜0.05),but not with diastolic blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDLC;all P＞0.05).The degree of retinal arteriosclerosis was positively correlated with age,waist circumference,hip circumference,WHR,BMI,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,calcification scores of left main artery(LM),left anterior descending artery(LAD),left circumflex artery(LCX),right coronary artery(RCA),total CACS,BUN,FBG,2h PBG,HbA1c and TG(all P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with TC,HDLC and LDLC(all P＜0.05),but not with gender,smoking status,pulse,SCr,BUA and Hcy(all P＞0.05).CAC level was negatively correlated with AVR(r=-0.166,P＜0.05),and positively correlated with retinal arteriosclerosis level(r=0.199,P＜0.05),but not significantly correlated with CRAE and CRVE(all P＞0.05).There was a correlation between CAC and retinal arteriosclerosis(P＜0.001).After adjusting for age,gender,smoking status,WHR,BMI,systolic blood pressure,FBG,SCr,BUA,BUN,and HDLC factors,the correlation between CAC and retinal arteriosclerosis still exists(P=0.048).Conclusion AI assisted analysis of retinal vascular diameter and degree of retinal arteriosclerosis is related to CAC,which plays a positive role in risk assessment of atherosclerotic heart disease.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective: Retrospective analysis of the efficacy and influencing factors of bladder preservation integrated therapy for unresectable invasive bladder cancer confined to the pelvis was done, also including the bladder function preservation and adverse effects analysis. Methods: Sixty-nine patients with unresectable locally invasive bladder cancer who received radiotherapy-based combination therapy from March 1999 to December 2021 at our hospital were selected. Among them, 42 patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, 32 underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapyand 43 with transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) prior to radiotherapy. The late adverse effect of radiotherapy, preservation of bladder function, replase and metastasis and survival were followed-up. Cox proportional hazards models were applied for the multifactorial analysis. Results: The median age was 69 years. There were 63 cases (91.3%) of uroepithelial carcinoma, 64 of stage Ⅲ and 4 of stage Ⅳ. The median duration of follow-up was 76 months. There were 7 grade 2 late genito urinary toxicities, 2 grade 2 gastrointestinal toxicities, no grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred. All patients maintained normal bladder function, except for 8 cases who lost bladder function due to uncontrolled tumor in the bladder. Seventeen cases recurred locally. There were 11 cases in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a local recurrence rate of 26.2% (11/42) and 6 cases in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a local recurrence rate of 22.2% (6/27), and the difference in local recurrence rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.709). There were 23 cases of distant metastasis (including 2 cases of local recurrence with distant metastasis), including 10 cases in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a distant metastasis rate of 23.8% (10/42) and 13 cases in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a distant metastasis rate of 48.1% (13/27), and the distant metastasis rate in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group was higher than that in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (P=0.036). The median 5-year overall survival (OS) time was 59 months and the OS rate was 47.8%. The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) time was 20 months and the PFS rate was 34.4%. The 5-year OS rates of concurrent and non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group were 62.9% and 27.6% (P<0.001), and 5-year PFS rates were 45.4% and 20.0%, respectively (P=0.022). The 5-year OS rates of with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy were 78.4% and 30.1% (P=0.002), and the 5-year PFS rates were 49.1% and 25.1% (P=0.087), respectively. The 5-year OS rates with or without TURBT before radiotherapy were 45.5% and 51.9% (P=0.233) and the 5-year PFS rates were 30.8% and 39.9% (P=0.198), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that the clinical stage (HR=0.422, 95% CI: 0.205-0.869) was independent prognostic factor for PFS of invasive bladder cancer. The multivariate analysis showed that clinical stages (HR=0.278, 95% CI: 0.114-0.678), concurrent chemoradiotherapy (HR=0.391, 95% CI: 0.165-0.930), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.188, 95% CI: 0.058-0.611), and recurrences (HR=10.855, 95% CI: 3.655-32.638) were independent prognostic factors for OS of invasive bladder cancer. Conclusion: Unresectable localized invasive bladder cancer can achieve satisfactory long-term outcomes with bladder-preserving combination therapy based on radiotherapy, most patients can retain normal bladder function with acceptable late adverse effects and improved survival particularly evident in patients with early, concurrent chemoradiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with spinal fractures with thoracic and lumbar fracture as the most common type shows characteristics of unstable fracture, high incidence of nerve injury, high mortality and high disability rate. The diagnosis may be missed because it is mostly caused by low-energy injury, when spinal rigidity and osteoporosis have a great impact on the accuracy of imaging examination. At the same time, the treatment choices are controversial, with no relevant specifications. Non-operative treatments can easily lead to bone nonunion, pseudoarthrosis and delayed nerve injury, while surgeries may be failed due to internal fixation failure. At present, there are no evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with thoracic and lumbar fracture. In this context, the Spinal Trauma Academic Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of adult ankylosing spondylitis combined with thoracolumbar fracture ( version 2023) by following the principles of evidence-based medicine and systematically review related literatures. Ten recommendations on the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, classification and treatment of AS combined with thoracic and lumbar fracture were put forward, aiming to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of such disorder.
