Objective:To analyze the risk factors for postoperative intra-abdominal pressure(IAP) elevation in patients with abdominal trauma and retroperitoneal tumors, and to evaluate the clinical value of continuous dynamic IAP monitoring.Methods:A total of 196 patients with abdominal trauma or retroperitoneal tumors admitted at Peking University People's Hospital from April 2024 to April 2025 were retrospectively enrolled. Postoperative IAP monitoring data were collected, and risk factors for IAP elevation were analyzed.Results:Postoperative IAP in patients with abdominal trauma and retroperitoneal tumors exhibited a peak-shaped pattern, reaching its maximum at 24 hours and returning to baseline by 72 hours. In both the abdominal trauma and retroperitoneal tumor groups, patients with poor outcomes showed significantly higher IAP peak values, longer durations of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), higher incidences of IAP>12 mmHg at 6 and 24 hours postoperatively, and longer durations of abdominal perfusion pressure (APP)<60 mmHg ( P<0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that injury severity score (ISS)≥25, shock index≥1.0, and intraoperative blood transfusion≥2 000 ml were independent risk factors for IAP elevation in patients with abdominal trauma. In patients with retroperitoneal tumors, tumor diameter≥10 cm, intraoperative blood loss≥1 500 ml, peritoneal defect area≥20 cm2, and BMI≥28 kg/m2 were identified as significant risk factors for postoperative IAP elevation. Conclusions:Postoperative IAP in patients with abdominal trauma and retroperitoneal tumors exhibits a similar common dynamic pattern. Continuous dynamic monitoring of IAP can facilitate early identification of high-risk patients, with IAP>12 mmHg at 24 hours postoperatively showing the highest predictive value for adverse outcomes. For such patients, it is recommended to implement goal-directed monitoring for 72 hours to improve clinical prognosis.

Objectives:This study aims to explore the relationship between the pericoronary fat attenuation index(FAI)and triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index and atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA)in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF).Methods:This retrospective study enrolled consecutive AF patients who underwent their first successful RFCA at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from 2019 to 2023.Pericoronary FAI was quantitatively measured,and the TyG index was calculated.Patients were divided into three groups according to the TyG index quartile:T1 group(TyG index<8.45,n=114);T2 group(8.45≤TyG index≤8.93,n=114);T3 group(TyG index>8.93,n=120).Linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between the TyG index and proximal FAI of three coronary arteries.Logistic regression was employed to explore the correlation between pericoronary FAI,TyG index,and AF recurrence post-RFCA,restrictive cubic splines(RCS)were plotted.Additive interaction and mediation analyses were used to explore the role of pericoronary FAI in the relationship between the TyG index and post-RFCA AF recurrence.Subgroup analysis was performed to explore the predictive value of the TyG index for postoperative recurrence in different patient subgroups.Results:A total of 348 patients were included.After adjusting for confounding factors using linear regression analysis,each unit increase in the TyG index was associated with a 5.389 HU increase in left circumfleex artery(LCX-FAI)(95%CI:3.874-6.904,P<0.001).During one-year follow-up,90 cases(25.86%)experienced AF recurrence.RCS analysis indicated that there was no significant nonlinear relationship between LCX-FAI,TyG index,and AF recurrence after RFCA(Pnon-linear=0.378,Pnon-linear=0.469).The recurrence rate of AF in patients with TyG index>9.08 and LCX-FAI>-83.65 HU was about 57.737 times higher than those with TyG index≤9.08 and LCX-FAI≤-83.65 HU(OR=57.737,95%CI:23.755-155.656,P<0.001).There was an additive interaction between the TyG index and LCX-FAI:relative excess risk due to interaction(RERI)was 50.901(95%CI:0.215-101.587),attributable proportion due to interaction(AP)was 0.882(95%CI:0.769-0.994),and the synergy index(S)was 9.713(95%CI:3.380-27.910).Mediation analysis indicated that LCX-FAI mediated 22%of the relationship between the TyG index and AF recurrence.Subgroup analysis revealed no multiplicative interaction between the type of atrial fibrillation and the TyG index in terms of AF recurrence risk(Pinteraction=0.562).Conclusions:In patients with atrial fibrillation,the TyG index is positively correlated with LCX-FAI,patients with TyG index>9.08 and LCX-FAI>-83.65 HU have significantly increased risk of AF recurrence after RFCA.LCX-FAI partially mediates the relationship between the TyG index and post-RFCA recurrence.Furthermore,the TyG index can effectively predict AF recurrence in both persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients.

Objective:To develop and evaluate a medical visual question answering (VQA) model for neonatal lung ultrasound (LUS) images to enhance intelligent auxiliary diagnosis of neonatal pulmonary diseases.Methods:Using data from neonates admitted to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University (January 2023 to December 2024), an image-question-answer dataset comprising 251 LUS images was constructed [43 pneumonia (17.1%), 42 neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (16.7%), 83 transient tachypnea (33.1%), and 83 normal (33.1%) images] with a four-tier medical question-answer framework. Building upon the Qwen2.5-VL-7B base model and integrating LoRA fine-tuning with chain-of-thought prompting, we developed the NLUS-VQA model to enhance visual-language semantic alignment and enable stepwise clinical reasoning, achieving efficient small-sample adaptation. Model performance was comprehensively assessed through natural language generation metrics (BLEU-4, ROUGE-1/2/L), qualitative evaluation of characteristic recognition, and clinical consistency analysis.Results:(1) Quantitative evaluation demonstrated that NLUS-VQA achieved scores of 22.38 (BLEU-4), 48.26 (ROUGE-1), 22.40 (ROUGE-2), and 37.20 (ROUGE-L), representing significant improvements over baseline models. (2) Qualitatively, the model exhibited strong performance in identifying lung consolidation, coalescent B-lines, and snowflake signs, with its chain-of-thought strategy enhancing clinical interpretability and answer accuracy. (3) Clinically, NLUS-VQA achieved a Cohen's Kappa coefficient of 0.78 and diagnostic accuracy of 80.8% (21/26), indicating substantial agreement with clinical experts.Conclusion:The NLUS-VQA model demonstrates robust interpretability in recognizing key sonographic patterns (e.g. lung consolidation, confluent B-lines, and snowflake signs), providing a scalable framework for small-sample medical image analysis, though diagnostic performance on complex conditions remains limited by dataset scale and minority class representation.

Objective:To explore the influence of value orientation brief therapy (VBT) on anxiety and depression symptoms, social function, coping style and self-acceptance level of major depressive disorder adolescents with anxious distress.Methods:From June 2021 to June 2022, seventy adolescent major depressive disorder patients with anxious distress were included in the study, who were randomly divided into study group(35 people, 31 people completed)and control group (35 people, 30 people completed). The study group was given routine treatment combined with VBT, while the control group was given routine treatment only. Before and after treatment, Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), social disability screening schedule (SDSS), coping style questionnaire(CSQ) and self-acceptance questionnaire (SAQ) were used to evaluate the two groups, and SPSS 26.0 software was used to statistically analyze the data of the two groups. Paired sample t-test was used for intra-group comparison, and independent sample t-test was used for inter-group comparison. Results:After 6 weeks of treatment, the scores of HAMA((6.03±3.58) vs (14.03±7.06), t=5.55, P<0.01), HAMD((8.77±5.52 ) vs (16.50±7.59), t=4.56, P<0.01)and SDSS((4.23±1.50) vs (6.63±0.96), t=7.43, P<0.01)in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant. The scores of self-acceptance((19.23±1.33) vs (13.47±1.46), t=-16.12, P<0.01)and self-evaluation ((19.87±2.87) vs (12.77±1.68), t=-11.75, P<0.01) in the SAQ scale and the scores of problem-solving((8.71±2.30) vs (6.23±3.45), t=3.31, P<0.05) and rationalization ((6.20±3.11) vs (4.67±2.43), t=2.13, P<0.05) in the CSQ questionnaire were significantly higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant. The total effective rate of the study group(90.3%(28/31) vs 66.7%(20/30), χ2=5.09, P<0.05) was significantly higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion:The effect of routine treatment combined with VBT is better, which can effectively improve anxiety and depression symptoms, social function and coping style, and enhance self-acceptance and self-evaluation in adolescent major depressive disorder patients, which is worthy of clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To characterize paclitaxel nanoparticles （PTX-PLGA-NPs） and evaluate their in vitro inhibitory effect on Lewis lung cancer cells. METHODS The PTX-PLGA-NPs prepared by the emulsion-solvent evaporation method were characterized in terms of particle size， polydispersity index （PDI）， Zeta potential， microscopic morphology， encapsulation efficiency， drug loading， ultraviolet-visible absorption characteristics and stability. Using mouse Lewis lung cancer cells as the subjects and paclitaxel reference substance as the control， the cytotoxicity and in vitro killing activity of PTX-PLGA-NPs were detected using CCK-8 method and Calcein-AM/PI double staining method， respectively. The effects of PTX-PLGA-NPs on cell apoptosis and cell cycle were assessed by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI staining method and PI staining method， respectively. RESULTS PTX-PLGA-NPs were spherical with an average particle size of （172.03±0.95） nm， PDI of 0.098±0.012， and Zeta potential of （－1.76±0.02） mV. The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading were （52.32±0.66）% and （7.07±0.18）%， respectively， and the ultraviolet-visible absorption characteristics were not affected by the carrier polylactic-co-glycolic acid. When stored in the dark at 4 °C for 7 days， no significant change was noted in particle size， and the average PDI （after 1， 2， 4 and 7 days of storage） was under 0.3. Compared with the paclitaxel reference substance group， the PTX-PLGA-NPs group had more cells in a state of death， the survival rate （at the PTX concentration of 11.2 μg/mL） was significantly decreased， and both the apoptosis rate and the proportion of G2 phase cells were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The prepared PTX-PLGA-NPs indicate homogeneity in particle size， uniform dispersion， stable properties， and stronger in vitro killing effect on lung cancer cells than PTX.

Objective:To investigate the presence of a distinct stem cell populations different from mesenchymal stem cells in the mandibular periosteum of both human and non-human primates (macaca mulatta), to explore its properties during intramembranous osteogenesis and to establish standard protocols for the isolation, culturing and expanding of mandibular periosteal stem cells (PSC) distinguished from other PSCs in other anatomical regions.Methods:Periosteum was harvested from the bone surface during flap bone removal in patients aged 18-24 years undergoing third molar extraction and from the buccal side of the mandibular premolar region of 6-year-old macaca mulatta respectively, and then subjected to single-cell sequencing using the Illumina platform Novaseq 6000 sequencer. Cross-species single-cell transcriptome sequencing results were compared using homologous gene matching. PSC were isolated from primary tissues using two digestion methods with body temperature and low temperature, and their surface markers (CD200, CD31, CD45 and CD90) were identified by cell flow cytometry. The ability of cell proliferation and three-lineage differentiation of PSC expanded to the third generation in vitro in different species were evaluated. Finally, the similarities and differences in osteogenic properties of PSC and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) were compared. Results:The single-cell sequencing results indicated that 18 clusters of cell populations were identified after homologous gene matching for dimensionality reduction, and manual cellular annotation was conducted for each cluster based on cell marker databases. The comparison of different digestion protocols proved that the low-temperature overnight digestion protocol can stably isolate PSC from the human and m. mulatta mandibular periosteum and the cells exhibited a fibroblast-like morphology. This research confirmed that PSC of human and m. mulatta had similar proliferation capabilities through the cell counting kit-8 assay. Flow cytometry analysis was then used to identify the cells isolated from the periosteum expressed CD200(+), CD31(-), CD45(-), CD90(-). Then, human and m. mulatta PSC were induced into osteogenesis, adipogenesis, and chondrogenesis to demonstrate their corresponding multi-lineage differentiation capabilities. Finally, comparison with BMSC further clarified the oesteogenesis characteristics of PSC. The above experiments proved that the cells isolated from the periosteum were peiosteal cells with characteristics of stem cells evidenced by their cell morphology, proliferation ability, surface markers, and differentiation ability, and that this group of PSC possessed characteristics different from traditional mesenchymal stem cells.Conclusions:In this study, normal mandibular PSC from humans and m. mulatta were stably isolated and identified for the first time, providing a cellular foundation for investigating the mechanism of mandibular intramembranous osteogenesis, exploring ideal non-human primate models and establishing innovative strategies for clinically mandibular injury repair.
