Objective To understand the status of body image disturbance and its influencing factors in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), so as to provide a scientific basis for the clinical management of AS. Methods A total of 353 AS patients admitted from January 2022 to December 2024 were selected as research subjects. Chinese version of Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ) was used to investigate the body image disturbance in AS patients. Single factor analysis was performed by t test and analysis of variance, and multiple factors were analyzed by multivariate linear regression. Results The total score of BIDQ in 342 AS patients was (25.01±4.22). Multivariate linear regression analysis results showed that self-paid medical expense, nighttime VAS score and negative emotion PANAS score could positively predict body image disturbance in AS patients (standardized regression coefficient=0.413, 0.413, 0.460, P<0.05), and PSSS score, positive emotion PANAS score and exercise management CDSSM score could negatively predict body image disturbance (standardized regression coefficient=-0.245, -0.134, -0.247, P<0.05). Conclusion The body image disturbance in AS patients is worthy of clinical attention. Nighttime pain, negative emotion and self-paid medical treatment can increase the risk of body image disturbance. Positive emotion, social support and high self-management level of exercise behavior can reduce the formation of body image disturbance, which can provide new ideas for clinical management of AS patients.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the selection and rationales of comparators for pharmaceutical enterprises in their medical insurance access application， so as to provide a reference for promoting communication and consensus between enterprises and medical insurance authorities in this process. METHODS The application materials for drugs outside the catalogue that passed formal review published by the National Healthcare Security Administration from 2021 to 2025 were extracted， and then content analysis was used to systematically sort out relevant information of the declared drugs and comparators； the specific situations and rationales of pharmaceutical enterprises’ selection of comparators were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1 341 declared drug documents were collected. Data analysis showed that 1 035 （77.18%） were submitted with positive comparators and 306 （22.82%） used blank comparators； 58 drugs （4.33%） took combination therapy as the reference， and 5 drugs （0.37%） referred to non-pharmacological （or non-single pharmacological） treatment regimens. Among competitive drugs declared by multiple enterprises， 50.00% of the enterprises submitted different comparators. A total of 4 basic conditions and 39 additional conditions were extracted as the rationales for selecting positive comparators. For blank comparators， 12 drug-related factors， 2 administrative factors， and 1 other factor were identified. More than 10% of the drugs did not state the rationale for comparator selection， and over 44% of drugs using blank comparators provided only one justification. CONCLUSIONS Pharmaceutical enterprises mainly select comparators based on their own interests in the medical insurance access application， and there are deficiencies in the adequacy and standardization of their selection basis and reasoning. It is recommended that enterprises follow the principled requirements of medical insurance authorities， and fully and normatively explain the reasons for selecting comparators in combination with the characteristics of their own products. Meanwhile， it is advisable to change the current open-ended statement form of selection reasons into a closed-ended answering mode， so as to highlight the priority of selection， standardize the declaration behavior of enterprises， and reduce communication divergences between the two parties.

Objective: To explore the value of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) radiomics combined with machine learning algorithms in the preoperative prediction of perineural invasion (PNI) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), aiming to provide evidence for assisting clinical treatment decision-making. Methods​: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. A total of 250 OSCC patients confirmed by postoperative pathology were included, comprising 128 PNI-positive and 122 PNI-negative cases. The dataset was randomly divided into training (n=175), validation (n=38), and independent testing (n=37) sets in a ratio of 7:1.5:1.5. Regions of interest were delineated on preoperative images, and radiomic features were extracted. After dimensionality reduction and feature selection using methods like Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, multiple machine learning models, including support vector machine (SVM), random forest, Light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), and a Stacking ensemble model, were constructed. Model performance was evaluated using metrics such as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Model interpretability was analyzed using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and grouped permutation feature importance analysis. Results ​: ​ Among the 250 samples analyzed, the LightGBM model based on radiomics demonstrated the best performance on the independent test set, with an AUC of 0.781, outperforming models like SVM (AUC = 0.730) and Random Forest (AUC = 0.691), as well as clinical models (AUCs ranging 0.549-0.711). The LightGBM model showed good calibration (Brier score 0.198), and DCA indicated high clinical net benefit over a wide threshold probability range. Paired DeLong tests revealed no statistically significant differences in AUC between the ensemble (Stacking) model and the corresponding best-performing radiomics-based model. SHAP analysis and grouped permutation feature importance analysis further indicated that the primary discriminative information for the model came from radiomic texture features. Conclusion ​ The LightGBM model based on contrast-enhanced CT radiomics demonstrated good discriminative ability for preoperative prediction of PNI in OSCC. In the independent test set, it achieved the highest AUC. This model holds promise as a non-invasive auxiliary tool for preoperative risk assessment. Given the limited sample size of the independent test set, these results require further validation in larger cohorts and external datasets.

[摘 要] 目的：探究着丝粒蛋白M（CENPM）在脑胶质瘤中的表达特征、临床预后价值及其对肿瘤恶性生物学行为的调控机制，为脑胶质瘤的精准治疗提供潜在靶点。方法：基于中国胶质瘤基因组图谱（CGGA）和癌症基因组图谱（TCGA）数据库分析CENPM在胶质瘤中的表达及其与患者临床病理特征和预后的相关性。通过基因本体论（GO）分析、京都基因与基因组百科全书（KEGG）富集分析和单细胞转录组分析探索CENPM的生物学功能和作用机制。WB法检测CENPM在胶质瘤细胞（LN-18、LN-229、U-138MG、U-251MG）和正常胶质细胞（HEB）中的表达；构建CENPM敲低细胞后，通过CCK-8、集落形成、Transwell和划痕实验评估恶性表型改变。结果：CENPM在WHO高级别胶质瘤中呈高表达（P < 0.05），与肿瘤恶性程度正相关。高表达组患者总体生存期显著短于低表达组（P < 0.01），Cox回归证实CENPM是影响胶质瘤患者预后的独立危险因素（P < 0.05）。功能富集分析结果显示CENPM相关基因主要富集于细胞周期调控、PI3K-Akt通路和免疫相关过程。单细胞分析结果显示CENPM主要在CD8⁺ T细胞高表达，并通过PTN-PTPRZ1/NCL配受体调控细胞通信。体外实验证实CENPM在胶质瘤细胞表达高于正常胶质细胞（LN-18：P < 0.01，LN-299：P < 0.05）；敲低CENPM显著抑制迁移（P < 0.05），但增强集落形成，提示其在肿瘤进展中的双重调控作用。结论：CENPM作为胶质瘤独立预后危险因子，通过调控细胞周期、PTN通路和免疫微环境驱动肿瘤进展，其差异化调控机制（抑制迁移、促进增殖）具有潜在的临床转化价值，可作为分子分型和靶向治疗候选标志物。

The core pathogenesis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） lies in deficiency， stasis and stagnation. Deficiency arises from kidney essence depletion and spleen dysfunction in transportation and transformation， leading to inadequate nourishment of the marrow sea. Stasis caused by qi deficiency leads to obstruction in channels and collaterals， resulting in obstructed marrow transport. Stagnation is associated with the excess of the five minds transforming into fire， which scorches the brain orifices and leads to loss of control over marrow utilisation. Based on this， a "supplementation-unblocking-regulation" therapeutic approach is proposed. For deficiency， the focus is on supplementing kidney and fortifying spleen， and replenishing the marrow sea. For stasis， the priority is to unblock and open the orifices， and clear the marrow channels. For stagnation， the core is to clear fire and contain the mind， regulate and restore vital activity. In clinical practice， it is necessary to identify the primary and secondary pathogenic mechanisms and apply dynamic， combined treatment， integrating Chinese herbal medicine， acupuncture， and guiding exercises throughout the process， aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD with traditional Chinese medical.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of Runmu Xiaoyao powder on mice with dry eye and the syndrome of liver depression-heat syndrome based on the toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 （MyD88）/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway. MethodsSixty-six C57BL/6J female mice were randomly divided into a normal group， a model group， a sodium hyaluronate group， and high-， medium-， and low-dose Runmu Xiaoyao powder groups， with 11 mice per group. Except for those in the normal group， mice in the other groups were subjected to mouse models with dry eye and liver depression-heat syndrome by instilling a benzalkonium chloride solution and applying chronic pain stimulation in a dry environment. After modeling， mice in the high-， medium-， and low-dose Runmu Xiaoyao powder groups were administered intragastrically with 29.7， 14.85， 7.43 g·kg^-1， respectively， twice a day for 14 consecutive days. The mice in the sodium hyaluronate group received 5 μL of sodium hyaluronate eye drops in each eye twice daily. The mice in the normal and model groups were administered intragastrically with an equal volume of deionized water. Measurements were taken of tear secretion in mice， irritability scores， corneal fluorescein staining， and histopathological changes in the cornea， lacrimal glands， meibomian glands， and liver tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and tumour necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in serum. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was used to detect the protein expression of IL-1β and TNF-α in corneal and lacrimal gland tissues. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） and Western blot were employed to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB p65 in corneal， lacrimal gland， and meibomian gland tissues. ResultsCompared with those in the normal group， mice in the model group exhibited significantly reduced tear secretion， significantly higher irritability scores， and more pronounced corneal fluorescence staining， with marked pathological damage observed in the cornea， lacrimal glands， meibomian glands， and liver tissue. IL-1β and TNF-α levels in serum were significantly elevated. The protein expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α in corneal and lacrimal gland tissues， as well as the mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB p65 in corneal， lacrimal gland， and meibomian gland tissues， were all significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the sodium hyaluronate group and Runmu Xiaoyao powder groups with different doses exhibited increased tear secretion to varying degrees， alleviated corneal fluorescence staining and histopathological damage， reduced IL-1β and TNF-α levels in serum， and downregulated protein expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α in corneal and lacrimal gland tissues， as well as the mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB p65 in corneal， lacrimal gland， and meibomian gland tissues. The high-dose Runmu Xiaoyao powder group demonstrated a more pronounced effect， with multiple indicators showing superior results compared to those in the sodium hyaluronate group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionRunmu Xiaoyao powder down-regulates the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway activity in the cornea， lacrimal glands， and meibomian glands of model mice with dry eye and liver depression-heat syndrome， thereby suppressing inflammatory responses and mitigating ocular surface tissue damage. The therapeutic effect is dose-dependent， and the high-dose group exerts the most prominent effect.

The concept of precision surgery is closely linked to advancements in modern medical technology and the interdisciplinary integration, profoundly influencing the direction of sur-gical decision-making and treatment paradigms. At its core, precision surgery aims to strike a balance among lesion removal, organ preservation, and damage control by leveraging key surgical technolo-gies that emphasize visualization, quantification, and controllability, ultimately maximizing patient benefits. In the field of liver cancer diagnosis and treatment, the concept of precision surgery should be integrated throughout the entire course of disease management, including preoperative precision evaluation, intraoperative meticulous procedures, and postoperative careful management. The reali-zation of these advanced concepts depends on continuous technological advancements and process optimization. However, the current diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer still face numerous challenges, such as accurate preoperative assessment of tumor biological behavior, optimization of intraoperative precision resection techniques, and improvement of postoperative recurrence moni-toring and intervention strategies. By employing technologies such as molecular imaging, circulating biomarkers, and artificial intelligence, the concept and practice of precision surgery can be further refined and seamlessly integrated into every stage of liver cancer management. This approach pro-mises to enhance surgical safety and efficacy, offering patients more scientific and efficient treatment options. The authors systematically explain the application of precision surgery concept in the diag-nosis and treatment of liver cancer and the thinking of the future development direction.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of two different approaches:direct anterior approach(DAA)and posterolateral approach(PLA)in total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods:This study adopted a retrospective cohort study design,included to analyse 128 cases of THA patients who were received in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2024.Patients were divided into PLA group(n=61)and DAA group(n=67)according to different approach methods.Perioperative indicators,Harris hip joint function score,anteversion and abduction angles of acetabular prosthesis and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with PLA group,DAA group had longer surgical time,less intraoperative blood loss,shorter surgical incision length and shorter postoperative hospital stay(P＜0.05).Compared with the PLA group at 1 month(T2)to 6 months(T4)after surgery,DAA group had higher Harris hip joint function score(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Compared with PLA,DDA is used in THA,although the surgery time is longer,it can achieve a similar recovery effect in anteversion and abduction angles,which helps to shorten the surgical incision length and postoperative hospital stay,reduce intraoperative blood loss and achieve better hip joint function recovery.
