Objective To investigate the utility of dual-energy computed tomography(DECT)virtual non-contrast(VNC)images instead of true non-contrast(TNC)images in the quantitative analysis of emphysema.Methods A retrospective selection was con-ducted on 59 patients who underwent chest CT plain scan plus dual-phase enhanced scan on APEX-CT.VNC images of arterial phase(VNCart)and venous phase(VNCven)were generated on AW4.7 workstation.Volume CT dose index(CTDIvol)and dose length product(DLP)were recorded respectively.In a double-blind manner,two physicians graded the severity of each patient's emphysema according to the Fleischner Society's emphysema visual classification system.The"digital lung"detection and analysis platform was used to quantitatively measure emphysema at three thresholds(-950 HU,-930 HU and-910 HU),and the difference in meas-urement results between VNC images and TNC images was compared.Quantitative differences in low attenuation volume(LAV),percentage of low attenuation area(LAA%)and mean lung density(MLD)at the-950 HU threshold were compared using Bland-Altman plots.Results Using TNC images as the standard,there was no significant difference in the results of the visual classifica-tion evaluation of emphysema between TNC and VNC images(χ2=2.80,P=0.247).In quantitative measurement,there was no significant difference in total lung volume(TLV)(χ2=3.26,P=0.196)between the three groups images.Compared to TNC ima-ges,there were no statistically significant differences in LAV,LAA%and MLD of VNCven images at 15th percentile lung density(Perc 15%)and different thresholds(P>0.05).Compared to the TNC mode,the VNC mode could reduce the effective dose(ED)by approximately 32.6%.Conclusion The use of DECT VNCven images on chest has the potential to replace TNC for the quantitative analysis of emphysema,thereby streamlining scans and reducing radiation dose.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical effects of the application of augmented reality (AR) navigation on assisted design of the chimeric twin-paddled anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) in reconstruction of soft tissue defects in extremities.Methods:From June 2017 to June 2023, 8 patients with soft tissue defects in extremities received reconstruction of chimeric twin-paddled ALTPF designed with the assistance of AR navigation in Department of Hand & Foot Microsurgery Orthopaedics, Guigang City People’s Hospital. All of them were traffic accidents or machine injuries, with 3 cases of calf, 2 cases of ankle, 1 case of foot, and 2 cases of hand defects. All the wounds were wide or irregular (defect sized 14 cm×14 cm-25 cm×13 cm). The images of bilateral thighs were acquired by CT angiography preoperatively. The dominant side and dominant perforators were selected. Three dimensional reconstruction was performed by Mimics software. AR technology was applied to guide the design and harvest of the chimeric twin-paddled ALTPF. Flap area was 15 cm × 16 cm to 26 cm × 14 cm. The donor site was sutured directly. Follow-up with outpatient visits or WeChat images and videos at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively to record the appearance, colour, texture, recurrence of infection, and knee extension function of the flap donor site.Results:According to the preoperative design, the perforator flaps were harvested and transferred in all the 8 patients. All flaps survived and the recipient and donor sites healed in one stage. All patients entered postoperative follow-up for 3 to 12 (mean, 8.6)months. The colour and texture of the flaps were excellent, and the appearance of donor and recipient sites was satisfactory. Two patients with hand injuries were evaluated using the brief Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ), with scores of 43.74 and 81.25, respectively. Six patients with lower limb injuries were evaluated using the Maryland foot score, with scores of 2 excellent, 3 good and 1 fair.Conclusion:The application of AR navigation can effectively assist the design of a chimeric twin-paddled ALTPF. It also provides an effective basis for clinical personalised flap design.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on the discharge outcome in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) receiving intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).Methods:Elderly patients with AIS received IVT in the Department of Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from August 2018 to August 2020 were retrospectively included. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate discharge outcome, and the score >2 was defined as poor outcome. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) was defined as any intracranial hemorrhage found on imaging examination accompanied by neurological deterioration, where the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score increased by ≥4 from baseline or bleeding led to death. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent risk factors for sICH and poor discharge outcome. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze the predictive value of NLR for sICH and poor discharge outcome. Results:A total of 228 elderly patients with AIS receiving IVT were enrolled, including 118 males (51.8%), aged 73.64±8.16 years, with a baseline NIHSS score of 6.23±6.54. Ninety patients (39.5%) had poor outcome at discharge, and 16 (7.0%) developed sICH. Univariate analysis showed that the NLR in the poor outcome group was significantly higher than that in the good outcome group ( P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a higher NLR was an independent risk factor for poor discharge outcome (odds ratio [ OR] 1.245, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.044-1.484; P< 0.05) and sICH ( OR 1.124, 95% CI 1.010-1.251; P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of NLR for predicting poor discharge outcome was 0.693 (95% CI 0.620-0.765; P<0.01). The optimal cutoff value was 4.345. Its corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 47.8% and 87.7%, respectively. The area under the curve of NLR for predicting sICH was 0.651 (95% CI 0.498-0.804; P<0.05). The optimal cutoff value was 3.515. Its corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 68.8% and 61.8%, respectively. Conclusions:A higher NLR is independently associated with sICH and poor discharge outcome in elderly patients with AIS receiving IVT, and have certain predictive value for sICH and poor discharge outcome.

To conduct the association between vitamin B12 and mental health in children and adolescents. Five databases were searched for observational studies in any language reporting on mental health and vitamin B12 levels or intake in children and adolescents from inception to March 18, 2022. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed study quality. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of data were performed. The review was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42022345476). Fifty six studies containing 37,932 participants were identified in the review. Vitamin B12 levels were lower in participants with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (standardized mean difference [SMD], −1.61;95% confidence interval [95% CI], −2.44 to −0.79; p ＜ 0.001), attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (SMD, −0.39; 95% CI, −0.78 to −0.00; p = 0.049) compared with control group. Vitamin B12 intake were lower in participants with ASDs (SMD, −0.86; 95% CI, −1.48 to −0.24; p = 0.006) compared with control group, but showed no difference between depression group (SMD, −0.06; 95% CI, −0.15 to 0.03; p = 0.17) and the control group. Higher vitamin B12 intake were associated with lower risk of depression (odds ratio [OR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.63−0.98; p = 0.034) and behavioral problems (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.69−0.99; p = 0.04). The vast majority of included studies supported potential positive influence of vitamin B12 on mental health, and vitamin B12 deficiency may be a reversible cause for some mental health disorders in children and adolescents.

Objective:To investigate the effect of high glucose on the release of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 in placental trophoblast by activating NLRP3 inflammasome.Methods:Gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) placentas and control placentas were collected and the expression levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 were determined. Human placental trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo were cultured and divided into control group(5.5 mmol/L glucose), high glucose group(25 mmol/L glucose), DMSO+ high glucose group, and Ac-YVAD-cmk(NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor)+ high glucose group. The expression levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in cells as well as the contents of IL-1β and IL-18 in the medium were determined.Results:The expression levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in GDM placenta were higher than those in control placenta( P<0.05) and positively correlated with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistant index(HOMA-IR) and fasting insulin. The expression levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in HTR-8/SVneo cells and the secretion levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in high glucose group were higher than those in control group( P<0.05). Ac-YVAD-cmk significantly suppressed high glucose-stimulated IL-1β and IL-18 secretion( P<0.05). Conclusion:High glucose promotes the release of IL-1β and IL-18 from placental trophoblast via activating NLRP3 inflammasome.
