Background and Aims:In recent years,with the continuous progress of systemic therapy,hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic agents has demonstrated significant efficacy in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).However,direct comparisons between different immunotherapeutic targets,such as PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors,in terms of clinical benefit and safety remain limited.This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of HAIC plus bevacizumab and sintilimab(HAIC-BP1)versus HAIC plus bevacizumab and atezolizumab(HAIC-BPL)in advanced HCC.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 88 patients with advanced HCC who received first-line HAIC-BP1or HAIC-BPL at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2020 and December 2022.Progression-free survival(PFS),overall survival(OS),objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),and adverse events(AEs)were compared between the two groups.Cox regression analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors affecting PFS.Results:A total of 47 patients were included in the HAIC-BP1 group and 41 patients in the HAIC-BPL group,with no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups(all P>0.05).The ORR(59.6%vs.65.9%)and DCR(72.3%vs.80.5%)did not significantly differ between the HAIC-BP1 group and the HAIC-BPL group(both P>0.05).After a median follow-up of 16.3 months,there were no significant differences in median OS(21.3 months vs.22.4 months)or median PFS(6.7 months vs.6.2 months)between the HAIC-BP1 group and the HAIC-BPL group(both P>0.05).The incidence of AEs was similar,and no treatment-related deaths occurred.Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified tumor diameter>10 cm as an independent adverse prognostic factor for PFS(HR=0.48,95%CI=0.27-0.83,P=0.009).Conclusion:Both HAIC-BP1 and HAIC-BPL demonstrated comparable efficacy and favorable safety profiles as first-line treatment options for advanced HCC.Tumor diameter>10 cm was an independent unfavorable prognostic factor for PFS,underscoring the importance of patient stratification in clinical decision-making.

Objective:To develop a deep learning model based on 3D super-resolution reconstruction technology and to analyze its feasibility and effectiveness in predicting paraglottic space invasion in hypopharyngeal cancer.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted involving 382 patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between January 2014 and December 2020. The cohort included 364 males and 18 females, with a mean age of 62±7 years. Patients were divided into a training set ( n=300) and a test set ( n=82) based on enrollment time. A generative adversarial network was used to perform 3D super-resolution reconstruction on contrast-enhanced CT images, improving spatial resolution by 16 times. A 2.5D deep learning strategy was employed to construct Resnet-NR and Resnet-SR models based on conventional and super-resolution images, respectively, to predict whether the paraglottic space was invaded. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC). A multi-reader multi-case study was conducted to assess the impact of the artificial intelligence (AI) model on clinicians′ diagnostic capabilities. Results:The super-resolution model Resnet-SR achieved the highest accuracy in both the training set (AUC=0.87, 95% CI: 0.84-0.90) and the test set (AUC=0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.96), significantly outperforming traditional clinical indicators (T stage, N stage, tumor diameter, and pathological differentiation degree) (AUC range: 0.55-0.70, all P<0.05). In comparison, the conventional-resolution model Resnet-NR achieved AUCs of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.77-0.84, P=0.005) and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.71-0.89, P=0.184) in the training and test sets, respectively. Using Resnet-SR to assist clinical decision-making improved the diagnostic accuracy of junior physicians (AUC=0.793 without AI assistance vs. AUC=0.871 with AI assistance, P=0.012) and significantly reduced diagnosis time for clinicians of all experience levels (86.5 s without AI assistance vs. 82.5 s with AI assistance, t=2.01, P=0.032). Conclusion:This study successfully develops a deep learning model based on 3D super-resolution reconstruction technology, which can assist in preoperative prediction of paraglottic space invasion in hypopharyngeal cancer. The AI-assisted tool improves diagnostic accuracy for junior physicians and enhances diagnostic efficiency for clinicians across all experience levels.

Objective:To explore the effects of age and gender on the sagittal spinal-pelvic parameters during the natural aging process of healthy adults.Methods:A total of 647 Chinese healthy adults who underwent health check-ups at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Songyang County People's Hospital, from January 2017 to September 2024 were collected. There were 277 males and 370 females, aged 18-93 years. Anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films of the whole spine were taken to evaluate the spinal-pelvic sagittal morphology. The following parameters were measured: thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis(LL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), global tilt (GT), T 1-pelvic angle (TPA), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), thoracic Cobb angle (T-Cobb), lower end vertebra of thoracic Cobb angle (T-LEV), apex vertebra of thoracic Cobb angle (T-Apex), lumbar Cobb angle (L-Cobb). Compare the differences in spine-pelvis parameters among patients of different genders and age groups (in this study, the subjects were subdivided into the 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80-93 years groups according to the age range). Results:The results showed that GT, SVA, TPA, and PT increased with age ( P<0.05). For males aged 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80-93 years, PT values were 8.58°±6.47°, 9.60°±5.63°, 12.65°±7.13°, 11.00°±6.99°, 13.01°±8.63°, 15.77°±8.02°, and 18.47°±10.03° respectively; for females in the same age groups, the PT values were 8.44°±6.83°, 9.00°±6.44°, 11.84°±7.35°, 12.07°±7.51°, 15.44°±9.39°, 19.26°±8.28°, and 18.17°±9.43° respectively. For males in these age groups, the global tilt (GT) values were 6.37°±7.20°, 8.77°±6.51°, 10.38°±9.07°, 8.80°±7.49°, 10.80°±8.62°, 16.07°±10.42°, and 21.99°±12.65° respectively; for females, the GT values were 4.46°±8.09°, 5.96°±7.83°, 8.17°±6.88°, 9.41°±8.03°, 9.96°±1.39°, 17.89°±9.39°, and 19.55°±12.34° respectively. The sagittal vertical axis (SVA) values for males in the age groups were -7.94±25.57 mm, -2.98±25.69 mm, -4.63±20.90 mm, -6.43±32.81 mm, 7.85±43.39 mm, 36.49±53.89 mm, and 55.57±51.10 mm respectively; for females, they were -24.12±31.35 mm, -17.49±25.12 mm, -17.88±22.72 mm, -8.25±30.91 mm, 8.80±27.45 mm, 28.67±38.22 mm, and 23.23±35.19 mm respectively. For males, the thoracic pelvic angle (TPA) values across the age groups were 4.46°±5.94°, 6.05°±5.38°, 9.58°±9.35°, 7.52°±7.64°, 11.23°±9.59°, 16.32°±12.38°, and 18.49°±11.70° respectively; for females, the TPA values were 2.72°±6.88°, 3.68°±6.26°, 7.30°±6.11°, 7.44°±6.75°, 12.64°±9.79°, 19.08°±10.39°, and 16.79°±13.19° respectively. T-Cobb, T-LEV, and T-Apex increased slowly with age ( P<0.05). The pelvic incidence (PI) remained relatively constant in males ( P>0.05), while it increased slowly with age in females ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Sagittal anteversion of the spinal-pelvis increases with age. Gender differences are reflected in specific changes in the fluctuation amplitude of certain parameters (such as PI), and the fluctuations of indicators like T-Cobb, T-LEV, and T-Apex are closely related to the natural aging process of the spine.

In this comprehensive review, we delve into the evolution of drug delivery systems in reproductive medicine with a focus on the emerging role of exosomes, a class of extracellular vesicles. Exosomes offer unique advantages in overcoming these challenges due to their inherent biocompatibility, stability, and ability to facilitate targeted delivery. This review provides a detailed examination of exosome biogenesis and their function in cellular communication, setting the stage for understanding their potential as drug delivery vehicles. We explore the mechanisms through which exosomes can be loaded with small molecule drugs and the benefits they offer over synthetic nanoparticles. The review highlights groundbreaking case studies that illustrate the successful application of exosome-mediated drug delivery in reproductive health, including enhancing fertility treatments, supporting gamete and embryo development, and facilitating maternal-fetal communication. This study aims to provide a precise understanding of how exosomal drug delivery can revolutionize treatments for reproductive health disorders, paving the way for future therapeutic applications. Lastly, we touch upon the promising therapeutic implications of exosomal delivery for proteins and genes, offering a window into future treatments for reproductive health disorders.

ObjectiveTo screen optimized protocol of acupuncture for post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence （PPUI） patients， and to provide evidence for clinical practice. MethodsMEDLINE， Embase， Cochrane Library， Web of Science， Chinese Biomedical Literature Database， China National Knowledge Infrastructure， WanFang and VIP databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials of acupuncture for PPUI. The search was conducted from the establishment of the database to February 1， 2024， and the quality of the literature was evaluated to exclude the studies with a high risk of overall bias or modified Jadad ＜3， and constructed acupuncture protocol and performed meta-analysis. We used International Consultation on Urinary Incontinence Short Form （ICI-Q-SF） scores， quality of life scores， overall effective rate， and modified Jadad scores as beneficial indicators， and the number of acupoints selected， stimulation duration， the number of acupuncture， and the duration of the treatment course as costly indicators， to derive the standardized protocol matrix， and used the entropy method to determine the weights of the different decision-making indicators， and finally combined with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution （TOPSIS） for comprehensive evaluation. ResultsNine studies met the criteria， and the acupuncture treatments involved were constructed as six protocols including electrical acupoint stimulation with low-frequency， electroacupuncture at four acupoints of sacral region， replenishing qi and tonifying kidney acupuncture， body acupuncture plus pelvic floor muscle training， auricular acupuncture， and electroacupuncture plus pelvic floor muscle training. The ICI-Q-SF， number of acupuncture sessions， and total effectiveness rate were given higher weights in the decision-making indexes， while the stimulation duration and the duration of treatment course were given lower weights； the entropy method of TOPSIS was used for the evaluation and proved that the best protocol was the electroacupuncture at four acupoints of sacral region which used continuous-wave electroacupuncture with a frequency of 2 Hz for 60 min each time， and required the needle sensation to radiate to the root of the penis， with the advantages of streamlined selection of acupoints， a significant reduction in ICI-Q-SF， and an increase in the effectiveness rate. ConclusionThe final optimized protocol was electroacupuncture at four acupoints of sacral region， which can provide an evidence-based basis for clinical decision-making and guideline development.

Objective:To compare the short-term efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) combined with sharp His angle reconstruction (LSG-His) versus traditional LSG.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study we collected clinical data of patients with obesity who had undergone LSG or LSG-His in the Department of General Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January to June 2022. After excluding patients with incomplete follow-up data and those with hiatal hernia, 83 obese patients, of which 39 who had undergone LSG (LSG group) and 44 who had undergone LSG-His (LSG-His group), were included in the study. The basic steps in LSG-His are the same as in conventional LSG. After continuous suturing of the gastric staple line, one stitch is placed between the proximal side of the gastric greater curvature staple line and the proximal side of the gastric fundus posterior wall with the left diaphragm, and another stitch between the right side of the gastric fundus and the esophagus, reconstructing the sharp His angle. Clinical data, postoperative complications, and follow-up data on weight loss and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-discharge were compared between the two groups. GERD symptoms were assessed using the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire and Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire.Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline characteristics, length of hospital stay, hospitalization costs, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative nausea and vomiting, dysphagia, or postoperative complications (all P>0.05). Compared with the LSG group, the LSG-His group had significantly longer operative times (92 [80, 100] minutes vs. 80 [70, 100] minutes, U=2.227, P=0.026), higher postoperative 24-hour pain scores (5.2±1.8 vs. 4.3±1.9, t=-2.065, P=0.041), and higher rates of morphine use (70.5% [31/44] vs. 46.2% [18/39], χ2=4.519, P=0.025). The incidence of new-onset GERD 12 months postoperatively was significantly lower in the LSG-His than the LSG group (10.7% [3/28] vs. 61.3% [19/31], χ2=14.00, P<0.001). According to changes in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire and Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire scores, the LSG-His group also had significantly lower rates of exacerbation of GERD (2/16 vs. 5/8, χ2=4.27, P=0.021) and higher rates of GERD remission (12/16 vs. 2/8, χ2=3.62, P=0.032) than did the LSG group. Additionally, excess weight loss rates were significantly higher in the LSG-His group at 3 months [(54.7± 18.7)% vs. (46.5±15.0)% , t=-2.166, P=0.033], 6 months [(73.8±24.7)% vs. (64.0±19.1)% , t=-2.018, P=0.047], and 12 months [(82.9±26.7)% vs. (72.2±19.3)%, t=-2.063, P=0.042] than in the LSG group. Conclusion:Compared with LSG, LSG-His is safe and feasible and achieves better short-term control of postoperative GERD and more effective weight loss. Further large-scale, long-term, prospective studies are needed to confirm the long-term efficacy of LSG-His.
