Objective:We aimed to develop a novel visualized model based on nomogram to predict postoperative overall survival.Methods:This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study, including participants with histologically confirmed gastric and colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery from 11 medical centers in China from August 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Baseline characteristics, histopathological data and nutritional status, as assessed using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score and the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and Cox regression were used to identify variables to be included in the predictive model. Internal and external validations were performed.Results:There were 681 and 127 patients in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. A total of 188 deaths were observed over a median follow-up period of 59 (range: 58 to 60) months. Two independent predictors of NRS 2002 and Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage were identified and incorporated into the prediction nomogram model together with the factor of age. The model's concordance index for 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 0.696, 0.724, and 0.738 in the training cohort and 0.801, 0.812, and 0.793 in the validation cohort, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a new nomogram prediction model based on NRS 2002 score was developed and validated for predicting the overall postoperative survival of patients with gastric colorectal cancer. This model has good differentiation, calibration and clinical practicability in predicting the long-term survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal cancer after radical surgery.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic influencing factors of multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC), and to construct a prognostic prediction model.Methods:The clinical data and prognostic information of MPLC patients diagnosed by pathological examination included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from January 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were randomly divided into training and validation sets according to a 7:3 ratio using R software. Survival curves were plotted by using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. The independent influencing factors of overall survival (OS) of MPLC patients in the training set were screened using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, and accordingly, the nomogram predicting the survival rate of patients at 3, 5 and 8 years were plotted. In the training and validation sets, using the actual survival as the gold standard, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the constructed models for predicting the patients' 3-, 5- and 8-year OS rates were plotted, the area under the curve (AUC) was obtained, and C-index of the model was analyzed by using R software. The calibration curves of 3-, 5- and 8-year OS rates predicted by the models and the actual OS rates were plotted.Results:A total of 5 495 MPLC patients were included, 3 846 in the training set and 1 649 in the validation set. The differences in the composition of patients of different ages and AJCC stages between the training and validation sets were statistically significant (both P < 0.05), and the differences in the comparison of other clinicopathological characteristics were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that males (compared with females, HR = 1.256, 95% CI: 1.144-1.379, P < 0.001), age ≥ 70 years old (compared with 50-59 years old, HR = 1.201, 95% CI: 1.030-1.400, P = 0.019), FPLC with pathological types of squamous cell carcinoma or other types (compared with adenocarcinoma, HR = 1.275, 95% CI: 1.137-1.431, P < 0.001; HR = 1.208, 95% CI: 1.041-1.403, P = 0.013), and SPLC with pathological types of squamous cell carcinoma, small cell lung carcinoma, or other types (compared with adenocarcinoma, HR = 1.270, 95% CI: 1.121-1.440, P < 0.001; HR = 1.978, 95% CI: 1.642-2.384, P < 0.001; HR = 1.246, 95% CI: 1.090-1.424, P = 0.001), and AJCC stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ (compared with stage Ⅰ, HR = 1.645, 95% CI: 1.447-1.869, P < 0.001; HR = 2.078, 95% CI: 1.669-2.587, P < 0.001), FPLC without operation (compared with operation, HR = 1.263, 95% CI: 1.038-1.536, P = 0.020), SPLC without operation (operation vs. no operation, HR = 0.680, 95% CI: 0.579-0.799, P < 0.001), FPLC without lymph node dissection or with clearance of 1-3 regional lymph nodes (compared with clearance of ≥4, HR = 1.225, 95% CI: 1.016-1.477, P = 0.034; HR = 1.314, 95% CI: 1.103-1.566, P = 0.002), FPLC with maximum diameter 3-5 cm or >5 cm (compared with <3 cm, HR = 1.181, 95% CI: 1.053-1.324, P = 0.005; HR = 1.232, 95% CI: 1.069-1.420, P = 0.004), and SPLC with maximum diameter 3-5 cm or >5 cm (compared with <3 cm, HR = 1.560, 95% CI: 1.362-1.786, P < 0.001; HR = 1.727, 95% CI: 1.451-2.054, P < 0.001), and FPLC without chemotherapy (chemotherapy vs. no chemotherapy or unknown, HR = 0.744, 95% CI: 0.655-0.845, P < 0.001) were the independent risk factors of patients' poor OS (all P < 0.05). The results of Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the OS of patients with different gender, race, age, two tumor locations, AJCC staging, pathological type of two lung tumors, maximum diameter of two tumors, and whether two tumors were treated surgically or not, and whether two tumors were treated with chemotherapy or not in the training set were compared, and the differences were all statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Based on the independent factors affecting the OS of MPLC patients screened by the results of multivariate Cox regression analysis, nomogram predicting the 3-, 5- and 8-year OS rates of MPLC were plotted. The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the C-index of the training set's nomogram was 0.679 (95% CI: 0.649-0.701), and the AUC values for predicting the 3-, 5- and 8-year OS rates were 0.601, 0.595 and 0.586, respectively; the C-index of the validation set was 0.678 (95% CI: 0.633-0.720), and the AUC values for predicting 3-, 5- and 8-year OS rates were 0.643, 0.631 and 0.626, respectively. The calibration curves showed that the 3-, 5- and 8-year OS rates of patients predicted by the nomogram models in both the training and validation sets were in good agreement with the actual results with a high goodness-of-fit. Conclusions:The established prognostic model has good predictive value and can effectively assess the prognosis of patients.

Objective To observe the value of artificial intelligence(AI)models based on non-contrast chest CT for measuring bone mineral density(BMD).Methods Totally 380 subjects who underwent both non-contrast chest CT and quantitative CT(QCT)BMD examination were retrospectively enrolled and divided into training set(n=304)and test set(n=76)at a ratio of 8∶2.The mean BMD of L1-L3 vertebrae were measured based on QCT.Spongy bones of T5-T10 vertebrae were segmented as RO1,radiomics(Rad)features were extracted,and machine learning(ML),Rad and deep learning(DL)models were constructed for classification of osteoporosis(OP)and evaluating BMD,respectively.Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn,and area under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the efficacy of each model for classification of OP.Bland-Altman analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were performed to explore the consistency and correlation of each model with QCT for measuring BMD.Results Among ML and Rad models,MLBagging OP and RadBagging-OP had the best performances for classification of OP.In test set,AUC of MLBagging-OP,RadBagging-op and DLOP for classification of OP was 0.943,0.944 and 0.947,respectively,with no significant difference(all P＞0.05).BMD obtained with all the above models had good consistency with those measured with QCT(most of the differences were within the range of(x)±1.96s),which were highly positively correlated(r=0.910-0.974,all P＜0.001).Conclusion AI models based on non-contrast chest CT had high efficacy for classification of OP,and good consistency of BMD measurements were found between AI models and QCT.

Based on the long bud stage phenotype of a new Lonicera japonica Flos variety "Huajin 6", using "Huajin 6" and "Da Mao Hua" as materials, probing the mechanism of its phenotype formation. Detection of endogenous Jasmonic acid hormones (JAs) content; the genes related to jasmonic acid (JA) synthesis were identified by transcriptome analysis of Lonicera japonica; flower buds and flowers of "Huajin 6" and "Da Mao Hua" were collected at different periods, and the qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) technique was used to analyze the trend of the expression of synthesis-related enzyme genes in Lonicera japonica Flos during the bud stage. The study found that the content of JAs in "Huajin 6" Lonicera japonica Flos was significantly lower than that in "Da Mao Hua"; applying exogenous methyl-jasmonate (MeJA) to "Huajin 6" can restore its flowering phenotype, making it close to wild type Lonicera japonica Flos; there are significant differences in the expression of two allene oxide synthase genes (AOS), three lipoxygenase genes (LOX), and two allene oxide cyclase genes (AOC) in the flowers and buds of "Huajin 6" and "Da Mao Hua" at different periods. It is hypothesized that the low expression of JA synthesis-related enzyme genes in " Huajin 6" leads to the blockage of JA synthesis, which causes the formation of the long bud phenotype. This study laid a certain foundation for the genetic breeding of Lonicera japonica, provided a new idea for the improvement of Lonicera japonica varieties, and provided a reference for the study of JAs in plant flower organs.

AIM: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-concentrations atropine eye drops in controlling adolescent myopia.METHODS:A computer search was conducted on Wanfang Data, CNKI, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases from January 2010 to March 2024 on clinical studies on low-concentration atropine eye drops for controlling adolescent myopia. Two researchers independently screened trials, extracted data, evaluated risk of bias and quality, and used Review Manager5.4 software to perform Meta-analysis.RESULTS:A total of 17 articles, involving 3 764 cases and 3 952 eyes, were included. The Meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, low concentrations of atropine could effectively slow down the growth of axial length [MD=-0.15, 95% CI(-0.20, -0.10), P<0.00001], significantly controlled the changes in spherical equivalent [MD=0.39, 95% CI(0.29, 0.48), P<0.00001], and had a significant effect on pupil diameter [MD=0.80, 95% CI(0.33,1.28), P=0.0010] and amplitude of accommodation [MD=-2.54, 95%CI(-4.49, -0.60), P=0.01].CONCLUSION:Low-concentrations atropine are effective in controlling spherical equivalent and axial length of myopia in adolescents, significantly affecting pupil diameter and amplitude of accommodation, and effectively delaying the progression of myopia.

Purpose::Intramedullary nailing is the preferred internal fixation technique for the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures because of its biomechanical advantages. However, no definitive conclusion has been reached regarding whether combined cable cerclage is required during intramedullary nailing treatment. This study is performed to compare the clinical effects of intramedullary nailing with cerclage and non-cerclage wiring in the treatment of irreducible spiral subtrochanteric fractures.Methods::Patients with subtrochanteric fractures admitted to our center from January 2013 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were enrolled in the case-control study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into the non-cerclage group and the cerclage group. The patients' clinical data, including the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, reoperation rate, fracture union time, and Harris hip score, were compared between these 2 groups. Categorical variables were compared using Chi-square or Fisher's exact test. Continuous variables with normal distribution were presented as mean ± standard deviation and analyzed with Student's t-test. Nonnormally distributed variables were expressed as median (Q 1, Q 3) and assessed using the Mann-Whitney test. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results::In total, 69 patients were included in the study (35 patients in the non-cerclage group and 34 patients in the cerclage group). The baseline data of the 2 groups were comparable. There were no significant difference in the length of hospital stay (z = -0.391, p = 0.696), operative time (z = -1.289, p = 0.197), or intraoperative blood loss (z = -1.321, p = 0.186). However, compared with non-cerclage group, the fracture union time was shorter (z = -5.587, p < 0.001), the rate of nonunion was lower (χ 2= 6.030, p = 0.03), the anatomical reduction rate was higher (χ 2= 5.449, p = 0.03), and the Harris hip score was higher (z =-2.99, p = 0.003) in the cerclage group, all with statistically significant differences. Conclusions::Intramedullary nailing combined with cable cerclage wiring is a safe and reliable technique for the treatment of irreducible subtrochanteric fractures. This technique can improve the reduction effect, increase the stability of fracture fixation, shorten the fracture union time, reduce the occurrence of nonunion, and contribute to the recovery of hip joint function.

Objective To reveal the characteristics of Tibetan human body composition in Gannan.Methods The body composition of 410 Tibetan adults(221 males and 189 females)in Gannan was measured by bioelectrical impedance method.The data were processed by SPSS 20.0 statistical software.Results Related analysis results showed that the total body muscle mass,estimated fat level and trunk muscle mass of the male decreased with age,while the percent body water,visceral fat level and percent trunk fat increased with age.The stature and left lower limb muscle mass of the female decreased with age,while body weight,percent body fat,body mass index,visceral fat level,percent right upper limb fat,right upper limb muscle mass,percent left upper limb,left upper limb muscle mass,percent right lower limb fat,percent left lower limb fat,left lower limb muscle mass and percent trunk fat increased with age.Analysis of single factor variance showed that there were statistically significant differences in the four indexes of male percent body water,visceral fat level,percent trunk fat and trunk muscle mass,while there were no statistically significant differences in the other 14 indexes among age groups.Females weight,stature,percent body fat,total body muscle mass,estimated fat level,body mass index,visceral fat level,percent right upper limb fat,right upper limb muscle mass,percent left upper limb fat,left upper limb muscle mass,percent right lower limb fat,percent left lower limb fat,left lower limb muscle mass,percent trunk fat,trunk muscle mass 16 index values were statistically significant differences between age groups,the remaining two index values were not statistically significant differences between age groups.The results of u test showed that the body weight,total body muscle mass,estimated fat level,percent body water,limb muscle mass and trunk muscle mass of males were higher than those of females,and percent body fat,limb fat rate,visceral fat rate and trunk fat rate of females were higher than those of males.According to the body mass index,Gannan Tibetan male and female were overweight;according to the percent body fat,Gannan Tibetan males were non-obesity and females were obesity.Conclusion The body mass index and overall fat content of Tibetan males and females in Gannan are relatively high among the 13 ethnic groups.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of adult body composition and obesity status of three ethnic groups:Ewenki,Daur and Mongolian Buryat.Methods The bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)was used to measure 18 body composition components in three adults ethnic groups:245(male 124,female 121)Ewenki,207(male 90,female 117)Daur,and 181(male 74,female 107)Mongolian Buryat.The data were processed using Excel 2016 and SPSS 24.0 statistical software.Results The result of correlation analysis showed that visceral fat level was significantly and positively correlated with age(P＜0.01).Stature,total body muscle mass,estimated bone mass and trunk muscle mass were all significantly and negatively correlated with age(P＜0.01)in males and females of the three ethnic groups.The percent body fat,percent left upper limb fat and percent trunk fat were positively correlated with age in Ewenki males(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01)and the percent body fat,body mass index(BMI),percent limb fat and percent trunk fat were positively correlated with age in Ewenki females(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Body weight,BMI,percent left upper limb fat,left upper limb muscle mass,bilateral lower limb fat and muscle mass were all negatively correlated with age in Daur males(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Body weight,upper limb muscle mass and left lower limb muscle mass were negatively correlated with age(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01)in Mongolian Buryat males and percent trunk fat was positively correlated with age(P＜0.05)in Mongolian Buryat females.Comparison between ethnic groups showed that most of the body composition index values of the Ewenki and Mongolian Buryat divisions were closest to each other,and the body fat content was higher than that of the Daur.BMI,percent body fat and visceral fat level were all manifested in the Mongolian Buryat Department＞Ewenki＞Daur.Cluster analysis showed that Ewenki,Daur and Mongolian Buryat were closer to the northern groups and further from the southern groups.Conclusion The Ewenki is most similar to the Mongolian Buryat in body composition characteristics all three ethnic groups has a more serious obesity problem.
