Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of dual-layer spectral CT(DLCT)virtual non-contrast(VNC)imaging combined with iodine maps in differentiating early post-endovascular therapy(EVT)intracranial hemorrhage from contrast extravasation.Methods Retrospective analysis of 97 patients who underwent DLCT immediately after EVT was conducted.Taking 24-hour follow-up CT/MRI as the gold standard,patients were divided into hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage groups,and their clinical data were compared.VNC CT values and iodine concentration(IC)were measured.Spearman's rank correlation was used to analyze the relationship between VNC CT and IC values,and ROC curve analysis using R software to evaluate the diagnostic performance of VNC,iodine maps,and their combination.Results Among 97 patients,51(52.6%)showed no intracranial hyperdense lesions,while 46(47.4%)with abnormal densities were analyzed.Using 24-hour postoperative CT/MRI as reference stan-dard,among the 46 patients ultimately included in the analysis,38 cases(82.6%)were non-hemorrhagic and 8 cases(17.4%)hemorrhagic.No significant differences existed in age,sex,or treatment methods(all P>0.05).VNC CT values and IC showed significantly negative correlation(r=-0.537,P<0.01).ROC analysis revealed AUCs of 0.917(95%CI:0.786～0.999)for VNC,0.878(95%CI:0.719～0.999)for IC,and 0.919(95%CI:0.812～0.999)for the combination of the two(P<0.05 for combined vs.individual methods).Optimal thresholds were 53.6 HU for VNC and 0.605 mg/ml for IC.Based on the final analysis of 46 enrolled patients,the sensitivity of VNC,iodine map,and their combination in differentiating early cerebral hemorrhage from contrast extravasation was 88.9%,94.3%,and 91.4%,respectively;the specificity 94.3%,77.8%,and 88.9%,respectively;and the accuracy 90.9%,90.9%,and 93.2%,respectively.Conclusion The DLCT VNC-iodine map combination significantly im-proves differentiation between post-EVT hemorrhage and contrast extravasation,and it is recommended for routine clinical application.

Objective To analyze the distribution of pathogenic bacteria,changes in serum levels of long non-coding ribonucleic acid(lncRNA)nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1(NEAT1),Ga-lectin-3,and monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1),and their relationship with cardiac func-tion in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF)complicated with pulmonary infection(PI).Methods A total of 278 CHF patients treated in the Second Cardiovascular Ward of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to February 2022 were recruited,and according to the occurrence of PI or not,they were divided into a PI group(98 cases)and a non-PI group(180 cases).The distribution of pathogenic bacteria in the PI group was analyzed.ROC curves were plotted to evaluate the predictive value of serum indicators for PI in CHF patients.Results Among the 98 CHF patients with PI,161 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected,with Gram-negative(G-)bacteria most prevalent,accounting for 114 strains(70.8％).Serum levels of lncRNA NEAT1,Galectin-3,and MCP-1 were significantly higher in the PI group than the non-PI group(P＜0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum levels of lncRNA NEAT1,Galectin-3,and MCP-1 were positively correlated with cardiac function(r=0.794,r=0.523,r=0.709,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis revealed that the combined detec-tion of serum lncRNA NEAT1,Galectin-3,and MCP-1 had the highest predictive value for PI in CHF patients than each indicator alone,and the AUC value,sensitivity,and specificity of the com-bined detection was 0.926,84.54％,and 92.78％,respectively(P＜0.01).Conclusion Gram-negative bacteria are predominant type of pathogenic bacteria in CHF patients with PI.Serum levels of lncRNA NEAT1,Galectin-3,and MCP-1 are increasing with the occurrence of infection and worsening of cardiac function.Combined detection of these indicators provides higher predic-tive value for PI in CHF patients.

Acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation (ADMH) is a group of diseases clinically characterized by grayish-black macules and patches, with pigment predominantly deposited in the dermis. ADMH includes Riehl's melanosis, lichen planus pigmentosus, and erythema dyschromicum perstans/ashy dermatosis. In light of the remarkable similarities in both morphological and histopathological characteristics among this group of diseases, the academic community has recently proposed the new nosological term "acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation" to achieve integration and unified classification of these related disorders. This review comprehensively elaborates on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of ADMH, including clinical manifestations, dermoscopic findings, pathological characteristics, and treatment progress.

Objective To summarize the current status of outcome indicators in randomized controlled trials of TCM intervention in pediatric myocarditis,to explore the existing problems,and to provide a reference for the construction of a core set of indicators for the treatment of pediatric myocarditis with TCM.Methods Randomized controlled trial literature on the treatment of pediatric myocarditis with TCM was retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,SinoMed,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library and Web of Science from the establishment of the databases to 16th,Nov.2024.The basic characteristics,diagnostic criteria,TCM evidence,interventions and outcome indicators of the studies were extracted.The risk of bias was assessed for the selected studies using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool(RoB 2.0),and the outcome indicators were statistically analyzed using Excel 2019.Results Finally,totally of 250 articles were included in the literature.The outcome indicators were counted to obtain 187 outcome indicators with a cumulative total of 1 540 occurrences,which were categorized into six indicator domains:symptoms and signs,physicochemical testing,TCM symptoms/signs,clinical efficacy evaluation,safety evaluation and quality of life evaluation;among them,the physicochemical testing indicators(112 types,926 times)had the highest frequency of occurrences,followed by the clinical efficacy evaluation(13 types.340 times),and safety evaluation(24 types,193 times).Conclusion The overall quality of randomized controlled trials of TCM treatment of pediatric myocarditis is low,and there are problems with primary and secondary differentiation of outcome indicators and lack of TCM characteristics.There is an urgent need to improve the core set of endpoint indicators that highlight the characteristics of TCM in order to improve the quality of clinical research.
