Objective To explore the value of diffusion tensor imaging analysis index along the perivascular space(DTI-ALPS)for assessing age-related functional changes in glymphatic system(GS).Methods Totally 27 healthy subjects from Meizhou People's Hospital and 100 healthy subjects from neuroimaging informatics tools and resources collaborator database who underwent T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo(T1-MPRAGE)and DTI scanning were retrospectively enrolled and divided into youth group(n=38),middle-aged group(n=57)and elderly group(n=32).Automated DTI-ALPS index analysis procedure was used to minimize manual errors and derive DTI-ALPS index.The general data,neuropsychological assessment results and DTI-ALPS indices were compared among groups.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to observe the relationships of DTI-ALPS index and age,gender,as well as neuropsychological scores.Results The average age in youth group,middle-aged group and elderly group was(28.5±5.8),(53.7±6.8)and(73.8±2.3)years,respectively.No significant difference of DTI-ALPS index was found between middle-aged group and elderly group(P＞0.05),which were both lower than that in youth group(both P＜0.05).DTI-ALPS index was weakly negatively correlated with age(rs=-0.340,P＜0.001),but not significantly correlated with gender nor neuropsychological assessment results(both P＞0.05).Conclusion DTI-ALPS index was negatively correlated with age in healthy individuals,hence having potential utility for assessing age-related functional changes in GS.

Transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy（TA-TMA）is one of the severe complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation，and its specific pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated. In recent years，with in-depth research on TA-TMA，its pathogenesis has been gradually elucidated. It primarily involves multiple factors，including endothelial injury，aberrant activation of the complement system，and oxidative stress.Regarding treatment，in addition to conventional supportive therapy and etiology-directed management，various targeted therapies have emerged，including drugs like Eculizumab，recombinant thrombomodulin，defibrotide，and N-acetylcysteine.This article aims to systematically review the current research achievements and latest progress on the pathogenesis and treatment methods of TA-TMA，to provide references for the early prevention and treatment of TA-TMA.

Objective To explore the efficacy of a model combining clinicopathological characteristics and multiparametric MRI features for predicting BRCA-mutated breast cancer(BC).Methods A total of 256 BC patients were retrospectively selected and divided into BRCA mutation group(116 cases)and BRCA wild group(140 cases)based on the BRCA results.Chi-square tests or independ-ent sample t-tests were used to compare the differences in clinicopathological characteristics and multiparametric MRI features between the BRCA mutation group and the wild group.Risk factors for BRCA-mutated BC were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression ananlyses,and a combined predictive model was constructed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to ana-lyze the diagnostic efficacy of the model.Results There were statistically significant differences in T stage,human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2),Ki-67,non-mass enhancement,enhancement pattern,time-signal intensity curve(TIC)type,and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values between the BRCA mutation group and the wild group.Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that T stage,HER-2,Ki-67,non-mass enhancement,enhancement pattern,TIC type,and ADC values were risk factors for BRCA-mutated BC(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that T stage,HER-2,Ki-67,enhancement pattern,and TIC type were independent risk factors for BRCA-mutated BC(P<0.05).The combined model incorporating T stage,HER-2,Ki-67,enhancement pattern,and TIC type had the best diagnostic efficacy in predicting BRCA-mutated BC,with an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.751.Conclusion The combined model integrating T stage,HER-2,Ki-67,enhancement pattern,and TIC type has good efficacy in predicting BRCA-mutated BC.

Objective To assess the efficacy of clear lens extraction combined with extended depth of focus(EDOF)intraocular lens(IOL)implantation in enhancing visual quality and concurrently opening peripheral angle structures in patients diagnosed with primary angle closure suspect(PACS)and presbyopia.Methods A total of 80 patients with PACS,presbyopia,and transparent lenses were enrolled and divided into two groups based on the type of implanted lens:a control group(n=46)and an experimental group(n=34).The control group underwent clear lens extraction followed by monofocal intraocular lens implantation,while the experimental group underwent clear lens extraction followed by extended depth of focus(EDOF)intraocular lens implantation.Preoperative and postoperative evaluations at 3 months included visual acuity,intraocular pressure,anterior segment structure,defocus curve,and Catquest 9SF-CN questionnaire scores.Adverse events were recorded to assess safety.Results Regarding the angular structure,after 3 months of treatment,results indicated significant increases in central ante-rior chamber depth,angle opening distance at 750 μ m,angle recess area at 750 μ m,trabecular-iris space area at 750 μm,and trabecular-iris angle at 750 μm in both groups compared to preoperative values(all P<0.01).However,no significant differences were observed between the two groups(all P>0.05).For the defocusing curve,visual acuity in the experimental group improved from+1.0 D to-4.0 D after 3 months of treatment(all P<0.05),while the control group showed improvements at+0.5 D,-0.5 D,-1.0 D,-2.0 D,-3.0 D,-3.5 D,and-4.0 D(all P<0.05).Postoperatively at 3 months,the experimental group exhibited superior visual acuity to the control group at-1.0 D to-4.0 D(all P<0.05).According to the Catquest 9SF-CN scale,scores in both groups significantly im-proved after 3 months of treatment(P<0.01),with the experimental group scoring higher than the control group(P<0.01).During the study,transient intraocular pressure elevation occurred in 7 patients(3 in the control group and 4 in the experimental group),but no serious adverse reactions were reported in either group.Conclusions In patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma combined with presbyopia,significant improvements in angle structures were observed following clear lens extraction.The implantation of an EDOF IOL notably enhanced postoperative visual quality compared to monofocal IOLs.

PURPOSE: Hidden blood loss (HBL) during the perioperative period significantly impacts postoperative recovery and complications, yet it is frequently disregarded. This study aimed to investigate the effects of tip-apex distance (TAD) and calcar-referenced tip-apex distance (calTAD) on HBL in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures utilizing proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). The study also seeks to evaluate the possible decrease in HBL subsequent to PFNA treatment by optimizing nail positioning. METHOD: A historical cohort study was conducted from January 2020 to December 2022. Patients diagnosed with unilateral acute closed femoral intertrochanteric fracture and who underwent PFNA internal fixation surgery met the inclusion criteria, and were grouped according to the value of calTAD and TAD. The participants were divided into low TAD group (TAD<20 mm) and high TAD group (TAD≥20 mm); low calTAD group (calTAD<7.625 mm) and high calTAD group (calTAD≥7.625 mm), respectively. The primary outcome measures were intraoperative blood loss (including HBL, overt blood loss, and total blood loss). Continuous data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, and categorical data were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-square test. Univariate analysis was used to evaluate the association between various indicators and perioperative HBL. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis model was used to determine the independent factors affecting perioperative HBL. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 131 patients were initially included, of which 80 were assigned to the calTAD group (with 61 in the high calTAD group and 19 in the low calTAD group), and 80 were assigned to the TAD group (with 34 in the high TAD group and 46 in the low TAD group). The average HBL for the low TAD group was 772.85 mL, whereas for the high TAD group it was 919.68 mL (p>0.05). The average HBL for the low calTAD group was 611.42 mL, whereas for the high calTAD group it was 904.97 mL (p<0.05). Subsequent analysis revealed that the patient's height, preoperative hemoglobin levels, changes in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels from pre- to post-surgery, and calTAD are independent risk factors influencing HBL. CONCLUSION In summary, our investigation revealed a significant correlation between the positioning of nails in PFNA and HBL during the perioperative period. By optimizing the placement of the cephalic nail, specifically by ensuring a calTAD of less than 7.625 mm, a significant decrease in HBL can be attained. Additionally, we identified that height, preoperative hemoglobin, differences in preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit, and the positioning of the cephalic nail were independent risk factors for HBL.
