Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of adenosine load-resting gated myocardial perfusion imaging for three-vessel disease in coronary artery disease(CAD)patients using coronary angiography as the gold standard.Methods A retrospective study was conducted,including 318 patients diagnosed with CAD who underwent coronary angiography at Yanan Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022.Based on the results of coronary angiography,the 318 CAD patients were divided into a three-vessel disease group(n=166)and a non-three-vessel disease group(single and double vessel disease group,n=152).All the subjects underwent adenosine stress-resting GMPI within two weeks.Adenosine stress-resting GMPI myocardial perfusion parameters(SSS,SRS,SDS),cardiac function parameters(LVEF,LVEDV,LVSV)and left ventricular mechanical contraction synchronization parameters(PSD,PHB)were collected.The diagnostic value of adenosine stress-resting gated myocardial perfusion imaging for three-vessel disease in CAD was explored.Results Among the perfusion parameters,SSS had the highest AUC of 0.781,while sLVEF had the highest AUC of 0.748 among cardiac function parameters,and sPHB had the highest AUC of 0.724 among synchrony parameters.The AUCs of combined parameters were all higher than those of perfusion parameters,cardiac function parameters,and synchrony parameters(P＜0.05).The changes in Δ LVESV and Δ LVEF between the three-vessel disease group and the non-three vessel disease group showed statistical significance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The perfusion,cardiac function and synchronization parameters of adenosine stress-resting gated myocardial perfusion imaging have high diagnostic value for three-vessel coronary heart disease,and the combined detection of the three parameters provides even greater diagnostic value for three-vessel coronary heart disease.

Objective:To analyze the adverse drug reaction(ADR)signals of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw(MRONJ)through mining data from the USA FDA adverse event reporting system(FAERS),and to explore potential MRONJ-re-lated drug in order to provide a basis for clinical safety and rational drug use.Methods:The reporting odds ratio(ROR),propor-tional reporting ratio(PRR)and Bayesian Confidence interval Progressive Neural Network(BCPNN)methods were used for data mining and signal detection of MRONJ adverse event reports in FAERS for 80 quarters from the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2023.Results:A total of 22 214 adverse reaction reports of MRONJ were collected,with a male to female ratio of approximately 1∶2;The majority of patients is over 50 years old,with a total of 14 463 cases(65.10％).The United States and Japan were the countries with the most reports,6 589(29.66％)and 3 459(15.57％)respectively.China(including Taiwan)also reported cases.After screening,a total of 31 drugs were found to be associated with the occurrence of MRONJ,involving 19 757 reports,including 8 antiresorptive agents and 19 antineoplastic agents.Among them,there were 18 061 reports of antire-sorptive agents,and the drug label of 17 drugs did not list osteonecrosis as adverse reactions.Conclusion:Antiresorptive agents represented by bisphosphonates and some antineoplastic agents are the major risk medication for the occurrence of MRONJ.

Objective To observe the value of multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)radiomics in predicting the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT)in locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma(CSCC)patients.Methods Clinical data of 100 CSCC patients underwent CCRT treatment were selected.In order to better validate the performance of the model,patients were randomly divided into the training set(70 cases)and the validation set(30 cases)in a 7∶3 ratio.According to the efficacy criteria for solid tumors,patients were divided into the complete response(CR)group(n=16)and the partial response(PR)group(n=14).Examination images of cross-sectional DWI,T2WI and enhanced T1WI were collected from all patients before treatment.ITK-SNAP software package combined with three sequences were used to outline ROI,and the open source software PyRadiomics was used to extract image omics features.For MRI omics features,the minimum redundancy maximum correlation(mRMR)algorithm was used to analyze and screen out the first 30 main features,and then the minimum absolute contraction and selection method(Lasso)based on 10-fold cross-validation was used to reduce dimensionality to screen the non-zero coefficient features.According to the weighting coefficient of Lasso-Logistic regression model in the training set,patient omics labels were calculated.Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a prediction model based on DWI,T2WI and T1WI sequence prediction models and multiple sequenomics labels.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves evaluated the predictive value of each omics model for CCRT treatment in patients with locally advanced CSCC.Results There were 38 cases in the CR group and 32 cases in the PR group in the training set.There were 16 cases in the CR group and 14 cases in the PR group in the validation set.There were no significant differences in patient age,FIGO stage,differentiation degree,maximum lesion diameter and menstrual status between the CR group and the PR group in the training and validation sets.A total of 851 imaging features were extracted from the ROI target area.After the first 30 features were retained by mRMR algorithm,3 CR-related features were selected from the 851 imaging omics features of each individual sequence by Lasso algorithm and 10-fold cross-validation.Eight CR related features were selected from 2 553 features after the combination of the three sequences.ROC curve results showed that in the training set and validation set,the AUC of multiple sequences combined to predict the therapeutic effect of CCRT in patients with locally advanced CSCC was 0.971 and 0.946,respectively,which was higher than that of T1WI,T2WI and DWI single sequence prediction(training set Z=2.683,2.046,2.817,P＜0.05;verification set Z=2.075,2.117,2.005,P＜0.05).Conclusion The multi sequence MRI radiomics model has high predictive value for the efficacy of CCRT treatment in locally advanced CSCC patients.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of staged endoscopic surgery for Shin-Ⅲ stage external auditory canal cholesteatoma. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 25 patients diagnosed with Shin-Ⅲ cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal, who were admitted to the Otology Center of the First People's Hospital of Foshan City from May 2020 to October 2024. All patients initially underwent endoscopic cholesteatoma removal. Based on the outcomes of the first-stage postoperative follow-up, patients were categorized into two groups: the repair type and the non-repair type. The non-repair type was further subdivided into simple and complex types. Of the total cases, 10 patients were of the repair type, with 9 requiring no further surgical intervention. The non-repair type comprised 15 patients, of which 8 were classified as simple type and underwent either tympanoplasty type Ⅰ or external auditory canal wall reconstruction during the second stage. The remaining 7 patients, identified as complex type, received open mastoidectomy or tympanotomy in the second stage, with or without ossicular chain reconstruction. Results:All patients were monitored for a minimum of six months postoperatively. The incidence of dry ear was observed in 22 patients, corresponding to a dry ear rate of 88.0%. Four cases experienced primary complications. Conclusion:Endoscopic phased operation for managing Shin-Ⅲ stage cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal can ensure that the surgical options match the severity of the lesions, reducing unnecessary surgical trauma and achieving good efficacy.

Objective To analyze the vaccination status of National Immunization Program Vaccines (NIPV) and the occurrence of febrile seizures in children with febrile seizures (FS), and to provide a basis for improving the NIPV vaccination rate and preventing vaccine related disease outbreaks in these children. Methods A total of 416 cases of febrile seizure children who were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Guangxi Maternity and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the case group. According to 1:1 matching，416 healthy children were randomly selected from the National Immunization Program Information System as the control group. The National Immunization Program Information System was used to inquire about the NIPV vaccination status of the two groups of study subjects. The children in the two groups were asked by phone whether they had febrile seizures after NIPV inoculation. Results The vaccination rates of NIPV (including basic and enhanced NIPV) were lower in the case group than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Except for the boosted polio vaccine (PV) and adsorbed diphtheria (DT) vaccine case groups, the overdue vaccination rates were lower than those in the control group, and the overdue vaccination rates in all vaccine case groups were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion There is no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions between children with a history of febrile seizures and healthy children after NIPV inoculation. The vaccination rate of children with a history of febrile seizures is generally low. All NIPV vaccination rates in children with febrile seizures are lower than those in healthy children, and the vaccines are not vaccinated on time.

Objective:To explore the utility of adenosine stress-rest gated myocardial perfusion imaging (G-MPI) in evaluation of left ventricular (LV) myocardial perfusion, heart function, and synchronization in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods:Fifty-five patients (42 males, 13 females, age (59.3±9.0) years) with multivessel coronary artery disease who underwent CABG surgery in Yan′an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University between January 2021 and June 2023 were retrospectively collected. All of them underwent G-MPI (one-day method) one week before and six months after CABG. Paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare LV myocardial perfusion parameters including summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS), and summed different score (SDS) before and after CABG, as well as cardiac function parameters (LV ejection fraction (EF), LV end-diastolic volume (EDV), LV end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV), peak filling rate (PFR)), and LV mechanical contraction synchronization parameters such as phase histogram bandwidth (PHB) and phase standard deviation (PSD). Differences of the changes of parameters after CABG compared to baseline (Δ) between adenosine stress imaging and rest imaging were also compared by Wilcoxon signed rank test. The relationships between rest LVEF, rest PFR and myocardial perfusion parameters were analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results:After CABG, the SSS, SRS, and SDS were significantly lower than those before surgery (6(3, 12) vs 16(9, 23), 1(0, 9) vs 4(1, 15), 3(1, 5) vs 8(6, 12); z values: 6.37, 4.84, 6.24, all P<0.001); postoperative rest/stress LVEF(60%(49%, 67%), 58%(48%, 68%)) and PFR (3.67(3.12, 4.28), 3.23(2.77, 4.43) EDV/s) significantly increased compared with preoperative values (51%(33%, 62%), 53%(27%, 61%); 2.76(2.08, 3.52), 2.83(1.86, 3.62) EDV/s; z values: 3.23-5.58, all P<0.01); postoperative rest/stress LVEDV and LVESV were significantly lower than those before surgery ( t values: 6.40, 5.27; z values: 5.33, 5.40; all P<0.001); rest/stress PHB (45°(35°, 70°), 53°(44°, 113°)) and PSD (14.7°(10.9°, 27.3°), 20.0°(14.6°, 33.8°)) were significantly lower than those before surgery (60°(45°, 131°), 83°(58°, 198°), 20.4°(16.0°, 49.1°), 27.2°(19.6°, 60.4°); z values: 4.19-4.81, all P<0.001). The ΔSSS was greater than the ΔSRS, and the ΔPFR was greater in rest imaging than that in stress imaging ( z values: 6.24, 2.77, both P<0.05). Rest LVEF, PFR were negatively correlated with SSS and SRS ( rs values: from -0.741 to -0.431, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The LV myocardial perfusion, function, and mechanical contraction synchronicity information obtained from adenosine stress-rest G-MPI can be used to evaluate the recovery after CABG, which may help to better identify patients who may have adverse cardiac events.

Objective:To investigate the surgical efficacy and prognosis influencing factors of hilar cholangiocarcinoma based on multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 91 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from April 2004 to April 2021 were collected. There were 59 males and 32 females, aged (61±10)years. Patients who were admitted from April 2004 to March 2014 underwent traditional surgical diagnosis and treatment, and patients who were admitted from April 2014 to April 2021 underwent multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment. Observation indica-tors: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) postoperative pathological examina-tions; (4) postoperative prognosis analysis; (5) influencing factors of postoperative prognosis. Follow-up was conducted using telephone interview and outpatient examination. Patients were followed up once every 6 months after surgery to detect survival. The follow-up was up to April 2023. Measure-ment data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve and calculate survival rate. The Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the COX proportional hazard model. Results:(1) Surgical situations. Of the 91 patients, there were 65 cases receiving hemi- or expanded hemi-hepatectomy, 13 cases receiving tri-hepatectomy, 9 cases receiving partial hepatectomy, 4 cases receiving extrahepatic bile duct resection. There were 24 cases receiving combined vein resection and reconstruction, 8 cases receiving combined pancreaticoduodenectomy, 6 cases receiving com-bined hepatic artery resection and reconstruction, including 24 cases receiving extended radical surgery (tri-hepatectomy, hepatic artery resection and reconstruction, hepatopancreaticoduodenec-tomy). The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative blood transfusion rate of 91 patients was (590±124)minutes, 800(range, 500?1 200)mL and 75.8%(69/91), respectively. Of the 91 patients, cases receiving extended radical surgery, the volume of intraoperative blood loss were 4, 650(range, 300?1 000)mL in the 31 patients who were admitted from April 2004 to March 2014, versus 20, 875 (range, 500?1 375)mL in the 60 patients who were admitted from April 2014 to April 2021, showing significant differences between them ( χ2=4.39, Z=0.31, P<0.05). (2) Post-operative situations. The postoperative duration of hospital stay and cases with postoperative infectious complications were (27±17)days and 50 in the 91 patients. Cases with abdominal infection, cases with infection of incision, cases with bacteremia and cases with pulmonary infection were 43, 7, 5, 8 in the 91 patients. One patient might have multiple infectious complications. Cases with bile leakage, cases with delayed gastric emptying, cases with chylous leakage, cases with liver failure, cases with pancreatic fistula, cases with intraperitoneal hemorrhage, cases with reoperation, cases dead during the postoperative 90 days were 30, 9, 9, 6, 5, 3, 6, 3 in the 91 patients. Cases with abdominal infection was 10 in the 31 patients who were admitted from April 2004 to March 2014, versus 33 in the 60 patients who were admitted from April 2014 to April 2021, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=4.24, P<0.05). Cases dead during the postoperative 90 days was 3 in the 31 patients who were admitted from April 2004 to March 2014, versus 0 in the 60 patients who were admitted from April 2014 to April 2021, showing a significant difference between them ( P<0.05). (3) Post-operative pathological examinations. Of the 91 patients, cases with Bismuth type as type Ⅰ?Ⅱ, type Ⅲ, type Ⅳ, cases with T staging as Tis stage, T1 stage, T2a?2b stage, T3 stage, T4 stage, cases with N staging as N0 stage, N1 stage, N2 stage, cases with M staging as M0 stage, M1 stage, cases with TNM staging as 0 stage, Ⅰ stage, Ⅱ stage, Ⅲ stage, ⅣA stage, ⅣB stage, cases with R 0 radical resection, cases with R 1 or R 2 resection were 15, 46, 30, 1, 9, 25, 30, 26, 49, 36, 6, 85, 6, 1, 7, 13, 58, 6, 6, 63, 28. Cases with R 0 radical resection, cases with R 1 or R 2 resection were 15, 16 in the 31 patients who were admitted from April 2004 to March 2014, versus 48, 12 in the 60 patients who were admitted from April 2014 to April 2021, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=9.59, P<0.05). (4) Postoperative prognosis analysis. Of the 91 patients, 3 cases who died within 90 days after surgery were excluded, and the 5-year overall survival rate and median overall survival time of the rest of 88 cases were 44.7% and 55 months. The 5-year overall survival rate was 33.5% in the 28 patients who were admitted from April 2004 to March 2014, versus 50.4% in the 60 patients who were admitted from April 2014 to April 2021, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=5.31, P<0.05). Results of further analysis showed that the corresponding 5-year overall survival rate of cases without lymph node metastasis was 43.8% in the 16 patients who were admitted from April 2004 to March 2014, versus 61.6% in the 31 patients who were admitted from April 2014 to April 2021. There was a significant difference in the 5-year overall survival rate between these patients without lymph node metastasis ( χ2=3.98, P<0.05). The corresponding 5-year overall survival rate of cases with lymph node metastasis was 18.5% in the 12 patients who were admitted from April 2004 to March 2014, versus 37.7% in the 29 patients who were admitted from April 2014 to April 2021. There was no significant difference in the 5-year overall survival rate between these patients with lymph node metastasis ( χ2=2.25, P>0.05). (5) Influencing factors of postoperative prognosis. Results of multivariate analysis showed that poorly differentiated tumor and R 1 or R 2 resection were inde-pendent risk factors influencing prognosis after surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma ( hazard ratio=2.62, 2.71, 95% confidence interval as 1.30?5.29, 1.30?5.69, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with traditional surgical diagnosis and treatment, treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma based on multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment can expand surgical indications, reduce proportion of dead patients within 90 days after surgery, improve proportation of radical resection and long-term survival rate. Poorly differentiated tumor and R 1 or R 2 resection are independent risk factors influencing prognosis after surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
