Purpose To explore the value of 5.0T MRI arterial spin labeling and morphological indexes for staging chronic kidney disease(CKD).Materials and Methods Ninety-five patients with CKD in Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital from January to August 2024 were collected prospectively,all of whom underwent 5.0T MRI routine and arterial spin labeling examination with calculation of renal blood flow(RBF)and morphological evaluation.According to the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),the patients were categorized into early CKD group[eGFR 60-89 ml/(min?1.73 m2)]and intermediate-late CKD group[eGFR<59 ml/(min?1.73 m2)]and were further divided into stage 1-5.The differences in RBF between early and intermediate-late CKD patients were compared,and the differences in morphological indexes among different stages of CKD were also analyzed.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to screen for independent influences on early or intermediate-late CKD staging.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of RBF values and morphological indexes for early CKD.RBF in CKD stages 1-5 were compared,with Bonferroni pairwise comparisons.The correlation between RBF values and both clinical and morphological indexes were also assessed.Results Whether in CKD stage 2 or 5,morphological factors affecting CKD staging were renal parenchymal signal,renal corticomedullary demarcation,renal volume and renal envelope(χ2=53.715,73.368,36.488,56.688,35.630,39.499,28.520,32.632,all P<0.001).In CKD stage 2,the independent influences screened by multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis were renal parenchymal signal(P<0.001)and renal corticomedullary demarcation(P=0.021).Both renal RBF values in early CKD were significantly higher than that in intermediate-late CKD(Z=-5.975,-5.885,both P<0.001).The areas under the curve for diagnosing early CKD using mean RBF of both kidneys,morphological indexes,and the combination of mean RBF with renal morphological indexes were 0.854,0.932 and 0.951,respectively.RBF values for both kidneys showed statistically significant differences among the five CKD stages(left:H=48.738;right:H=48.102,both P<0.001)and between non-adjacent stages(all P<0.05).Both kidneys RBF values showed a positive correlation with renal parenchymal signal and renal corticomedullary demarcation(left:r=0.600,0.503;right:r=0.550,0.504,both P<0.001).Conclusion The integration of arterial spin labeling and morphological assessment on 5.0T MRI enables a noninvasive and precise functional and morphological evaluation of early renal damage in CKD patients,providing a foundation for subsequent clinical CKD staging.

This article is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and health economics of minimally invasive surgery for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH).This review systematically compares clinical efficacy and economic value of three minimally invasive techniques:small bone window microsurgery,neuroendoscopic surgery and stereotactic drainage based on 12 randomized controlled trials(RCTs),7 cohort studies,and 8 economic evaluations 2019-2024.Cost-effectiveness analysis(CEA)and cost-utility analysis(CUA)were employed to assess resource utilization and health outcomes.Minimally invasive approaches overall outperform conventional craniotomy.Stereotactic surgery achieves the shortest hospitalization(5-8 days)and lowest direct costs;neuroendoscopy significantly improves quality of life(quality-adjusted life years(QALYs);and small bone window surgery offers the best postoperative stability.It is recommended to choose the surgical method based on patient characteristics and to optimize healthcare resource allocation through medical insurance payment reform and technology promotion.

Background Accurate T-staging is critical for esophageal cancer therapy,but CT-based assessment has significant limitations.Large vision models(LVMs)hold promise,yet their zero-shot clinical diagnostic capability without fine-tuning remains unvalidated.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the chest CT images from 98 esophageal cancer patients and 50 normal controls.Using radiologist-consensus as the gold standard,the zero-shot T-staging performance of 3 LVMs(GPT-5,Gemini,and MedGemma)was evaluated with prompts of varying complexity.Results GPT-5 exhibited the highest accuracy and stability.Significant biases were observed among models:Gemini tended to over-stage,while MedGemma showed a tendency to under-stage.All models faced challenges in identifying early-stage tumors,but structured prompts improved diagnostic performance for mid-to-late stage lesions.Conclusion LVMs have potential for zero-shot T-staging,but their performance highly depends on model choice and prompt design.The generic model GPT-5 show superior zero-shot generalization.However,current model performance is not yet clinically viable,especially for early diagnosis.Future work should focus on fine-tuning with high-quality clinical data and developing standardized prompt frameworks.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate gel in preventing adhesion after prophylactic enterostomy.Methods:One hundred and twenty four patients from 6 hospitals were enrolled in this prospective multi-center randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomized into the study group ( n=59) or the control group ( n=65).All patients underwent prophylactic enterostomy. Patients of study group received odium hyaluronate gel for adhesion-prevention,while those in control group did not receive any adhesion-prevention treatment. The incidence of moderate to severe adhesion around the incision in the stoma area were evalutated during stoma reduction surgery. Results:The incidence of moderate to severe adhesion around the incision in the stoma area was 6.3% in the study group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) compared to that of the control group (32.6%). Conclusion:Sodium hyaluronate gel can safely and effectively reduce the incidence of moderate and severe adhesions after abdominal surgery.

Objective : To investigate the influencing factors of the diffusion and utilization of technology for liver cancer screening among clinicians based on the technology acceptance model. Methods : A multi⁃stage sampling method was applied to select the respondents. The des⁃γ⁃carboxy prothrombin ( DCP) detection technology was taken as an example to conduct a structured questionnaire survey , and structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. Results: Perceived ease of use positively affected perceived usefulness (β = 0. 899 , P < 0. 001) and usage attitude (β = 0. 223 , P < 0. 05) ; perceived usefulness positively affected usage attitude (β = 0. 652 , P <0. 001) and behavioral intentions (β = 0. 413 , P < 0. 001) ; usage attitude positively affected behavioral intentions (β = 0. 511 , P < 0. 001) ; behavioral intention positively affected the behavior of using DCP ( β = 0. 237 , P < 0. 01) . There was a partial mediating effect between perceived ease of use and usage attitude , and a partial mediating effect between perceived usefulness and behavioral intention. Conclusion Usage attitudes are important factors influencing the diffusion of DCP detection technologies , and usage attitudes are determined by both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. It is recommended that technology manufacture and utilization organizations should focus on technology performance , allocate technical advisers for promoting new technologies , and reduce barriers to their use.

Objective:This study sought to investigate the feasibility, anatomical indications and operating points of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure in the treatment of pure aortic regurgitation (AR).Methods:The medical records of 4 elderly patients with pure AR who were treated in the cardiology department, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March 2020 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were implanted with self-expandable valve stents via peripheral artery approach for TAVR treatment. The feasibility, anatomical indications and key points of TAVR were analyzed.Results:The 4 patients with pure AR who were carefully screened had an average age of 66 years, and all achieved TAVR treatment success without serious perioperative complications and death. Postoperative examination and follow-up data showed that cardiac functions and cardiac remodeling indexes were significantly improved.Conclusions:This exploratory study shows that TAVR is technically feasible and effective treatment option for selected elderly patients with native pure AR, which is worthy of further study.

Objective: To compare the calibration result of standard X-ray RQR radiation field between SSDL (NIRP) and CEA LIST LNHB(France), and to explore the feasibility of calibrating H_p(3) in standard X-ray RQR radiation field of SSDL(NIRP).
