ObjectiveTo explore the value of a multimodal MRI-based radiomics nomogram for differentiating human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) negative breast cancer molecular subtypes.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 190 patients with HER-2 negative breast cancer who underwent multimodal MRI examination, and the patients were divided into two molecular subtype groups: a HER-2 low expression group (n=108) and a HER-2 zero expression group (n=82). The cases were randomly stratified and sampled at a ratio of 7∶3 and divided into a training set of 133 cases and a testing set of 57 cases. The clinical and radiological features of the patients were collected, the radiomics features based on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI were extracted, and the clinical-radiological model, unimodal radiomics model, multimodal radiomics model, and combined model were constructed respectively. Then the nomogram combined multimodal radiomics signature (radsocre) with clinical-radiological features was used to construct a visualized predictive model, and the area under the curve (AUC) was used to compare the effectiveness of different models in distinguishing HER-2 low expression and zero expression subtypes.ResultsA significant difference in radscore was demonstrated between the HER-2 low and HER-2 zero expression groups in both the training (P<0.000 1) and testing sets (P<0.01). The AUC of the multimodal radiomics model in the training set and the testing set were 0.914 and 0.836, respectively, which was superior to any unimodal radiomics model. The nomogram demonstrated great diagnostic efficacy (AUC=0.930 in training set; AUC=0.865 in testing set).ConclusionA multimodal MRI-based nomogram incorporating radsocre and clinical-radiological features can accurately distinguish the subtypes of HER-2 negative breast cancer.

BACKGROUND:Transcranial magnetic stimulation has been used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease,but its mechanism has not been fully clarified. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to increase neural excitability in mice with Alzheimer's disease. METHODS:Sixteen C57BL/6 mice were randomized into control group (n=8) and control+magnetic stimulation group (n=8). Another 16 APP/PS1 mice were randomized into dementia group (n=8) and dementia+magnetic stimulation group (n=8). Mice in the two magnetic stimulation groups were given repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation,2 hours daily,for 14 continuous days. The water maze was then used to detect the cognitive function of mice. Whole-cell membrane-clamp technique was used to collect action potentials and analyze the effect of Alzheimer's disease on action potentials;and the potassium channe currents were collected and analyzed for the role of their kinetic properties on neural excitability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of Morris water maze showed that normal mice could find and determine the original platform more accurately after receiving repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation,while Alzheimer's disease led to a decrease in the learning and memory ability of mice,a decrease in the number of times they found the platform,and a degeneration of neurons in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation could improve the learning and memory ability of mice with Alzheimer's disease. Whole-cell membrane clamp technique assay showed that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation could trigger neuronal depolarization and enhance neuronal excitability in Alzheimer's disease mice. Analysis of potassium channel currents showed that Alzheimer's disease caused an increase in the transient outward potassium channel half-activation voltage. The inactivation curve was shifted in the direction of depolarization and the resuscitation time constant was prolonged,causing the delayed rectifier potassium channel activation curve to be shifted in the direction of depolarization. Whereas repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation delayed the opening and closing of the potassium channel and inhibit the efflux of intracellular potassium ions,which resulted in the retention of a higher intracellular potassium concentration and increased neuronal excitability. To conclude,repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may alleviate cognitive decline by increasing neuronal excitability in the hippocampal dentate gyrus.

This paper reported a type 1 diabetes patient who had severe diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, hypertension, and hypothyroidism before pregnancy. The patient's blood glucose control was poor before pregnancy, and the complications were not properly treated. This was an unintended pregnancy, with a pre-pregnancy glycated hemoglobin A1c of 7.8% and early pregnancy urine protein of 3.81-4.53 g/24 h. Considering the patient's poor blood glucose control before pregnancy and the lack of proper treatment for multiple complications including nephropathy, a multidisciplinary consultation at an external hospital recommended termination of the pregnancy. However, the patient was determined to continue the pregnancy and was referred to Peking University First Hospital. Through strict blood glucose control, monitoring and evaluation of complications, and comprehensive management, the patient's blood glucose and blood pressure were well controlled during pregnancy. Regular monitoring of urine protein, renal function, and ocular fundus was conducted. At 31 weeks and 4 days of gestation, the patient's 24-hour urine protein significantly increased. After promoting fetal lung maturity, a cesarean section was performed at 34 weeks and 1 day of gestation, resulting in a successful delivery with good maternal and neonatal outcomes. At the 42-day postpartum follow-up, the patient's blood glucose and blood pressure were stable, urine protein returned to pre-pregnancy levels, and the infant was in good general condition.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between intraoperative hypothermia and early postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in pediatric patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).Methods:This was a retrospective study. Medical records of pediatric patients of either sex, aged 4-24 months, diagnosed with congenital biliary atresia who underwent LDLT from January 2021 to March 2023 were collected from the electronic medical record system of Tianjin First Central Hospital. The collected data included general characteristics, intraoperative conditions, and PPCs such as postoperative pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, pleural effusion, atelectasis, and pulmonary edema within 1 week after operation. Additional indicators comprised the difference in systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) between 1 day before surgery and at the end of surgery (ΔSII), concentration of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) at the end of surgery, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, and duration of intensive care unit stay. Pediatric patients were divided into PPCs group and non-PPCs group based on the development of PPCs. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between factors associated with intraoperative hypothermia and PPCs.Results:A total of 226 pediatric patients were included in the study, with 126 cases in PPCs group and 100 cases in non-PPCs group. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that pre-reperfusion hypothermia, duration of hypothermia, ΔSII and concentrations of hs-CRP at the end of operation were independent risk factors for the occurrence of PPCs ( P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of pre-reperfusion hypothermia and duration of hypothermia in predicting PPCs was 0.594 (95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.521-0.668, P=0.015) and 0.702 (95% CI 0.634-0.770, P<0.001), respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of combination of factors associated with hypothermia (pre-reperfusion hypothermia, duration of hypothermia) and inflammatory indicators (ΔSII, plasma hs-CRP concentration at the end of surgery) in predicting PPCs was 0.977 (95% CI 0.959-0.995, P<0.001). Conclusions:Pre-reperfusion hypothermia and duration of hypothermia are independent risk factors for early PPCs in infants, and their predictive value for the development of PPCs is higher when combined with ΔSII and plasma hs-CRP concentration in pediatric patients undergoing LDLT.
