BACKGROUND:Stroboscopic visual training can force sensory reweighting to restore the original weights by increasing sensitivity to proprioceptive information,which may be an effective method to improve proprioception. OBJECTIVE:To determine the effects of balance training in three conditions,low frequency,high frequency and normal vision,on ankle proprioception in patients with chronic ankle instability. METHODS:Thirty-six patients with chronic ankle instability recruited from the students of Southwest Medical University were randomly assigned to a low-frequency vision training group,a high-frequency vision training group,and a normal vision training group,with 12 subjects in each group.Subjects in the three groups underwent progressive hop stabilization and balance training,in which the low-frequency vision training group and the high-frequency vision training group wore stroboscopic spectacles during the training,with a stroboscopic frequency of 1.75 and 5 Hz,respectively.The training in each group was performed three times a week for 4 consecutive weeks.Assessments,including ankle proprioception,ankle stability self-assessment and dynamic postural stability,were performed before training and within 1 week after the completion of training. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was a significant main effect of time factor in ankle proprioception(P<0.05).Compared with the pre-training period,subjects in the low-frequency vision training group and the high-frequency vision training group showed significant improvement in ankle proprioception after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05);and subjects in the low-frequency vision training group showed a significant improvement in ankle proprioception compared with that of the normal vision training group after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05).There were significant main effects of time factor and group×time interaction in ankle proprioception(P<0.05).Compared with the pre-training period,the ankle stability self-assessment in all three groups was improved after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05).And the ankle stability self-assessment in high-frequency visual training group was higher than that in normal vision training group after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05).Compared with the pre-training period,subjects in the low-frequency vision training group and the high-frequency vision training group showed significant improvements in forward dynamic postural stability,posteromedial dynamic postural stability,and posterolateral dynamic postural stability after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05),while in the normal vision training group,forward dynamic postural stability and posterolateral dynamic postural stability were significantly improved after 4 weeks of training(P≤0.05).To conclude,balance training under stroboscopic visual conditioning improves proprioception,ankle stability self-assessment,and dynamic postural stability in patients with chronic ankle instability regardless of frequency.

Objective To screen genetic susceptibility markers related to serum HBeAg seroconversion by analyzing the association between host genetic susceptibility markers and seroconversion in HBeAg-positive patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), thereby providing potential molecular markers for clinical outcomes and prognosis evaluation in HBeAg-positive patients with CHB. Methods HBeAg-positive patients with CHB were recruited from the outpatient department of the Infectious Department, Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University to establish a follow-up cohort. Based on whether HBeAg seroconversion occurred during follow-up, the subjects were divided into a case group (serum HBeAg with seroconversion) and a control group (serum HBeAg without seroconversion). MassARRAY SNP genotyping technique was used to detect SNPs of human genome DNA extracted from whole blood of the study subjects. Results Through association analysis between genetic susceptibility marker SNPs and seroconversion of serum HBeAg, it was found that: At the rs101206 8 locus, under the overdominant model, patients carrying the heterozygous GT genotype had a higher likelihood of serum HBeAg seroconversion (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.15-2.59, P=0.008); at the rs352140 locus, under the recessive model, patients carrying the TT genotype had a higher likelihood of serum HBeAg seroconversion (OR=1.77, 95%CI: 1.06-2.94, P=0.029); the rs1946518 locus, under the overdominant model, patients carrying the heterozygous GT genotype had a higher likelihood of serum HBeAg seroconversion (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.14-2.61, P=0.009); at the rs2306494 locus, under the dominant model, carrying the A allele (GA+AA) was identified as a negative factor for serum HBeAg seroconversion (OR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.42-0.99, P=0.043); at the rs20541 locus, under the recessive model, carrying the AA genotype was identified as a negative factor for serum HBeAg seroconversion (OR=0.31, 95%CI: 0.10-0.92, P=0.019); at the rs1057035 locus, under the dominant model, patients carrying the C allele (CT+CC) had a higher likelihood of serum HBeAg seroconversion (OR=1.78, 95%CI: 1.05-3.03, P=0.034). Therefore, the GT genotype at rs1012068 of DEPDC5 gene, TT genotype at rs352140 of TLR9 gene, GT genotype at rs1946518 of IL18 gene, and GG genotype at rs2306494 of TERF1 gene were conducive to seroconversion of serum HBeAg. The AA genotype at rs20541 of IL-13 gene and the TT genotype at rs1057035 of DICER1 gene were not conducive to seroconversion of serum HBeAg. Conclusion The genetic susceptibility markers (single nucleotide polymorphism loci) of host genetic genes in HBeAg-positive patients with CHB are associated with seroconversion of serum HBeAg, and the mechanisms by which these SNPs participate in serum HBeAg seroconversion require further investigation.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient's lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.

Objective:
To investigate the seroepidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B among outpatients in medical institutions in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a reference for formulating region-specific hepatitis B prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
From April to June 2024, outpatients were selected as study subjects from sentinel medical institutions in Jiaxing City. Information such as gender and age was collected. Venous blood samples were obtained and serological markers including hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb), and hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) were tested. Positive rates of hepatitis B virus (HBV) serological markers were analyzed by genders and ages.
Results:
A total of 1 468 outpatients were included, among whom 721 were males (49.11%) and 747 were females (50.89%). The mean age was (46.41±19.66) years. The positive rates of HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb, and HBcAb were 7.29%, 44.75%, 1.84%, 23.50%, and 42.03%, respectively. The HBcAb positive rate in males was significantly higher than in females (46.05% vs. 38.15%, P<0.05), while no statistically significant gender differences were observed in the positive rates of other four HBV serological markers (all P>0.05). Except for HBsAb, the positive rates of the other four HBV serological markers showed statistically significant differences across different age groups (all P<0.05). Pairwise comparisons results showed that the HBsAg positive rates in age groups of 20-<40 years and 40-<60 years were 9.48% and 9.57%, respectively, which were higher than those in age groups of <20 years (1.43%) and ≥60 years (2.75%) (all P<0.05). A total of 17 HBV serological marker patterns were observed, among which the proportion of all markers negative was the highest, at 39.65%. The proportions of "small three positive" (HBsAg+, HBeAb+, HBcAb+) and "large three positive" (HBsAg+, HBeAg+, HBcAb+) patterns were 4.77% and 1.50%, respectively. Among HBsAg-positive individuals, the proportions of the "small three positive" pattern across age groups were 0, 45.45%, 90.00%, and 81.82%, while those of the "large three positive" were 0, 36.36%, 5.00%, and 0, with statistically significant differences across age groups (both P<0.05).
Conclusions
The positive rate of HBsAg among outpatients in medical institutions in Jiaxing City is relatively high, with a notable proportion of individuals showing either no immunity or non-response to vaccination. It is recommended to strengthen hepatitis B immunization efforts among the population aged 20-<60 years, and to enhance monitoring and interventional treatment for "small three positive" and "large three positive" patterns.

Schizophrenia (SZ) stands as a severe psychiatric disorder. This study applied diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data in conjunction with graph neural networks to distinguish SZ patients from normal controls (NCs) and showcases the superior performance of a graph neural network integrating combined fractional anisotropy and fiber number brain network features, achieving an accuracy of 73.79% in distinguishing SZ patients from NCs. Beyond mere discrimination, our study delved deeper into the advantages of utilizing white matter brain network features for identifying SZ patients through interpretable model analysis and gene expression analysis. These analyses uncovered intricate interrelationships between brain imaging markers and genetic biomarkers, providing novel insights into the neuropathological basis of SZ. In summary, our findings underscore the potential of graph neural networks applied to multimodal DTI data for enhancing SZ detection through an integrated analysis of neuroimaging and genetic features.

Objective:To investigate the early clinical characteristics of elderly patients with severe burns and the risk factors on prognosis.Methods:This study was a retrospective case series study. Clinical data of 124 elderly patients with severe burns who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the 12 hospitals from January 2015 to December 2020 were collected, including 4 patients from the Fourth People's Hospital of Dalian, 5 patients from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, 22 patients from Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital of Jinan University, 5 patients from Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital, 27 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, 9 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, 10 patients from Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, 9 patients from Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital, 12 patients from the 924 th Hospital of PLA, 6 patients from Zhangjiagang First People's Hospital, 4 patients from Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, and 11 patients from Zhengzhou First People's Hospital. The patients' overall clinical characteristics, such as gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, inhalation injury, causative factors, whether combined with underlying medical diseases, and admission time after injury were recorded. According to the survival outcome within 28 days after injury, the patients were divided into survival group (89 cases) and death group (35 cases). The following data of patients were compared between the two groups, including the basic data and injuries (the same as the overall clinical characteristics ahead); the coagulation indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time, D-dimer, fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), international normalized ratio (INR), and fibrinogen; the blood routine indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as white blood cell count, platelet count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit; the organ function indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, urea, serum creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total protein, albumin, globulin, blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, electrolyte indexes (potassium, sodium, chlorine, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in blood), uric acid, myoglobin, and brain natriuretic peptide; the infection and blood gas indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, pH value, oxygenation index, base excess, and lactate; treatment such as whether conducted with mechanical ventilation, whether conducted with continuous renal replacement therapy, whether conducted with anticoagulation therapy, whether applied with vasoactive drugs, and fluid resuscitation. The analysis was conducted to screen the independent risk factors for the mortality within 28 days after injury in elderly patients with severe burns. Results:Among 124 patients, there were 82 males and 42 females, aged 60-97 years, with body mass index of 23.44 (21.09, 25.95) kg/m 2, total burn area of 54.00% (42.00%, 75.00%) total body surface area (TBSA), and full-thickness burn area of 25.00% (10.00%, 40.00%) TBSA. The patients were mainly combined with moderate to severe inhalation injury and caused by flame burns. There were 43 cases with underlying medical diseases. The majority of patients were admitted to the hospital within 8 hours after injury. There were statistically significant differences between patients in the 2 groups in terms of age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and inhalation injury, and PT, APTT, D-dimer, FDP, INR, white blood cell count, platelet count, urea, serum creatinine, blood glucose, blood sodium, uric acid, myoglobin, and urine volume within the first 24 hours of injury (with Z values of 2.37, 5.49, 5.26, 5.97, 2.18, 1.95, 2.68, 2.68, 2.51, 2.82, 2.14, 3.40, 5.31, 3.41, 2.35, 3.81, 2.16, and -3.82, respectively, P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences between two groups of patients in whether conducted with mechanical ventilation and whether applied with vasoactive drugs (with χ2 values of 9.44 and 28.50, respectively, P<0.05). Age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, serum creatinine within the first 24 hours of injury, and APTT within the first 24 hours of injury were the independent risk factors for the mortality within 28 days after injury in elderly patients with severe burns (with odds ratios of 1.17, 1.10, 1.10, 1.09, and 1.27, 95% confidence intervals of 1.03-1.40, 1.04-1.21, 1.05-1.19, 1.05-1.17, and 1.07-1.69, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions:The elderly patients with severe burns had the injuries mainly from flame burns, often accompanied by moderate to severe inhalation injury and enhanced inflammatory response, elevated blood glucose levels, activated fibrinolysis, and impaired organ function in the early stage, which are associated with their prognosis. Age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and serum creatinine and APTT within the first 24 hours of injury are the independent risk factors for death within 28 days after injury in this population.
