[Objective]To analyze the value of grey-scale reversed T1-weighted(rT1)MRI in the detection of structur-al lesions of the sacroiliac joint(SIJ)in patients with axial spondyloarthritis(ax-SpA).[Methods]Fifty-two ax-SpA pa-tients who underwent both MRI and CT in our hospital within a week from February 2020 to December 2022 were retrospec-tively included.Both sacral and iliac side of each SIJ on oblique coronal images were divided into anterior,middle and pos-terior portion.Two radiologists reviewed independently three groups of MRI including T1-weighted imaging(T1WI),rT1 and T1WI+rT1 images to evaluate the structural lesions like erosions,sclerosis and joint space changes in each of the 6 re-gions of the SIJ.One of the radiologist did the evaluation again one month later.CT images were scored for lesions by a third radiologist and served as the reference standard.Intra-class correlation coefficients(ICC)were calculated to test the inter-and intra-reader agreement for the assessment of SIJ lesions.A Friedman test was performed to compare the lesion results of MRI and CT image findings.We examined the diagnostic performance[accuracy,sensitivity(SE)and specifici-ty]of different groups of MRI in the detection of lesions by using diagnostic test.A McNemar test was used to compare the differences of three groups of MRI findings.[Results]CT showed erosions in 71 joints,sclerosis in 65 and joint space changes in 53.Good inter-and intra-reader agreements were found in three groups of MRI images for the assessment of le-sions,with the best agreement in T1WI+rT1.There were no difference between T1WI+rT1 and CT for the assessment of all lesions,nor between rT1 and CT for the assessment of erosions and joint space changes(P>0.05).T1WI+rT1 yielded better accuracy and SE than T1WI in detection of all lesions(Accuracy erosions:90.3%vs 76.9%;SE erosions:91.6%vs 76.1%;Accu-racy sclerosis:89.4%vs 80.8%;SE sclerosis:84.6%vs 73.9%;Accuracy joint space changes:86.5%vs 73.1%;SE joint space changes:84.9%vs 60.4%;P<0.05).rT1 yielded better accuracy and SE than T1WI in detection of erosions and joint space changes(Accuracy erosions:87.5%vs 76.9%;SE erosions:88.7%vs 76.1%;Accuracy joint space changes:85.6%vs 73.1%;SE joint space changes:83.0%vs 60.4%;P<0.05).[Conclusions]In the detection of SIJ structural lesions in ax-SpA,rT1 improves the diagnostic perfor-mance and T1WI+rT1 is more superior to others.

Objective To investigate the effects of canagliflozin combined with amiloride and benzamir on doxorubicin-induced ne-phrotic syndrome(NS)model rats.Methods A total of 49male SD rats were randomly divided into 7groups:normal control group(NG group),model group(MG group),canagliflozin group(KG group),benzamil group(BH group),amiloride group(AL group),cana-gliflozin+benzamil group(KB group)and canagliflozin+amiloride group(KA group),with 7 rats in each group.The NS model was established by injection of doxorubicin in the tail vein.The 24h-UTP of each group was detected one day before treatment to verify the successful preparation of the model.Each group was given intragastric administration according to the body weight of rats regularly every day,NG group and MG group were given equal amount of normal saline,the course of treatment was 6 weeks.After 6 weeks of treatment,the 24h-UTP,UNa,UK,UCl levels in urine and the albumin(ALB),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipopro-tein(LDL),Urea,Crea,CysC,SNa,SK,SCl levels in serum were measured,respectively.The expression of serum transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)and soluble thrombomodulin(sTM)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expression of TGF-β1 gene was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).The renal pathology of rats in each group were tested by the hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.Results After successful modeling,the levels of 24h-UTP,TG,TC,LDL in the MG group were increased,while the levels of ALB was decreased(P＜0.05).After 6 weeks of drug intervention,compared with MG group,the levels of 24h-UTP,TC,TG,LDL were decreased,and the level of ALB was increased in all drug groups(P＜0.05),and the level of TGF-β1 was decreased in the KG group(P＜0.05),and the levels of CysC,UNa,TGF-β1,sTM was increased in the KA group(P＜0.05).The results of HE staining and Masson staining showed that typical characteristics of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis appeared in the renal tissue of rats in MG group,all drug groups were observed in varying degrees of improvement.Conclusion Canagliflozin,benzamil,amiloride alone and canagliflozin combined with benzatrimil and amiloride could improve the macroproteinuria,hypoproteinemia and hyperlipidemia of doxorubicin-induced NS model rats.Canagli-flozin alone can effectively reduce TGF-β1 expression and thereby reduce kidney inflammation,but the combination of canagliflozin and amiloride may cause renal insufficiency and endothelial injury.

Objective To explore the value of deep learning models in predicting axillary lymph node(ALN)metastasis of breast cancer based on intratumoral and peritumoral dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on cases from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital and Laoshan Branch of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University,involving a total of 850 lesions in 850 patients.The region of interest within the tumor was delineated at the largest area of the lesion on the first enhancement images and automatically expanded by 3 mm and 6 mm in a conformal fashion.Deep learning prediction models based on ResNet50 were developed via intratumoral,peritumoral,and intratumoral combined peritumoral models,respectively,and a comprehensive prediction model was developed by integrating semantic features of imaging reports.Cases from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital were randomly divided into training and test cohorts in a 7∶3 ratio,while cases from Laoshan Branch of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University served as the external validation cohort.The area under the curve(AUC),accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,F1-score,and Brier-score were calculated,respectively.Results The model incorporating intratumoral,peritumoral(3 mm),and semantic features demonstrated the highest performance,with AUC of 0.801[95％confidence interval(CI)0.765-0.845],0.781(95％CI 0.745-0.817),and 0.752(95％CI 0.700-0.793)in the training cohort,test cohort,and external validation cohort,respectively,and there was no significant difference in AUC between combined model and intratumoral/peritumoral model,respectively,but it demonstrated the higher sensitivity and F1-score,and the lower Brier-score.Conclusion Incorporating peritumoral images into the conventional model based on intratumoral images enhanced the predictive ability of ALN metastasis in breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between digital breast tomosynthesis(DBT)image features,pathological features,and the results of breast-conserving surgery(BCS)in early stage breast cancer.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 422 cases of BCS resulting in successful breast preservation and 211 BCS cases that were followed by mastectomy.All of the patients underwent surgery at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute&Hospital between January 2019 and December 2023.Preoperative DBT images and clinicopathological features were assessed.A univariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to screen out the characteristics associated with BCS surgic-al results,after which multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to screen out the characteristics.Results:Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age(P=0.020),architectural distortion(P<0.001),breast composition(extremely dense,P=0.001),and mo-lecular subtype(Her2,P=0.001)were statistically different between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ar-chitectural distortion(P<0.001),breast composition(extremely dense breast,P=0.003),and molecular subtype(Her2,P<0.001)differed signi-ficantly between the two groups.Conclusions:Breast composition,architectural distortion,and molecular subtype correlated with BCS res-ults.Extremely dense breast composition,architectural distortion,and Her2 subtype are associated with a higher possibility of conversion to mastectomy.These factors serve as effective predictive indicators of BCS results and thus aid clinicians in deciding the appropriate surgical strategies in the treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i)canagliflozin and epithelial sodium channel inhibitor amiloride or benzamil in combination on the bone metabolism in the rats with the nephrotic syndrome (NS) induced by doxorubicin. Methods In the 49 male SD rats selected, 7 were randomly selected as control group (NG), and 42 were built as adriamycin-induced nephropathy model by injecting adriamycin through the tail vein, and were randomly divided into model group (MG group), canagliflozin group (KG group), benzamil group (BH group), amiloride group (AL group), canagliflozin+benzamil group (KB group) and canagliflozin+amiloride group (KA group), with 7 cases in each group. Each medication group was given intragastric administration according to the body weight of rats regularly every day, NG group and MG group were given equal amount of normal saline, the course of treatment was 6 weeks. The 24-hour urinary protein (24 h-UTP) of each group was detected one day before treatment to verify the successful preparation of the model. At 6 weeks after treatment, the 24 h-UTP, urine sodium (UNa), urinary potassium (UK) levels in urine and the albumin (ALB), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), serum calcium (SCa), sodium (SNa), potassium (SK), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), procollagen type Ⅰ N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and beta C-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of typeⅠ collagen (β-CTX) levels in serum were measured, respectively. Results After successful modeling, the levels of 24 h-UTP, TG, TC, LDL and SCa in the MG group were significantly increased, while the levels of ALB, 25-OH-D, ALP, PINP and PTH were significantly decreased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). After 6 weeks of drug intervention, the body mass of rats treated with KG alone decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Compared with the MG group, the levels of 24 h-UTP, TC, TG, LDL and SCa were significantly decreased, and the level of ALB was significantly increased in all drug groups when compared to the MG (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared with the MG group, the levels of 25-OH-D, ALP, PINP and β-CTX in the KA group were significantly increased when compared to the MG (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Molding and drug therapy had no impact on levels of UNa, UK, SK and SNa (P>0.05). Conclusion Calaglizin alone, benzamil alone, amiloride alone and calaglizin combined with benzamil or amiloride can improve the mass proteinuria, hypoproteinemia and hyperlipidemia in adriamycin-induced NS model rats. The combination of caraglipzin and amiloride has a significant osteogenic or osteoclastic effect, which may play a role in reducing the risk of fracture in NS rats by forming a new osteogenic/osteoclastic balance.

The scale-level content validity value was 0.930, and the item-level content validity value was 0.830-1.000. Exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of 11 common factors with eigenvalues>1, and the common interpretation of the results was 68.374%.Conclusions:The Chinese version of GeroNursingCom scale has good reliability and validity, and can be used as a tool to evaluate nursing interns' geriatric nursing ability.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.

Methods: Data were collected from children (3-6 years old) of Xizang national physical fitness monitoring, and a total of 1 521 preschool children were recruited who received questionnaire survey and physical fitness test. Independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the differences in physical fitness indexes of preschool children in different groups. Chi square test and binary Logistic regression model were used to analyze the factors affecting physical health of preschool children. Results: The total qualified rate of physical fitness was 79.75%, among which the excellent rate was 3.16%, the good rate was 15.12%, the qualified rate was 61.47% and the unqualified was 20.25%. From the perspective of BMI, the excellent physical fitness rate (3.74%) and good physical fitness rate ( 17.47% ) were highest in healthy weight preschool children, and the qualified physical fitness rate of overweight preschool children (69.03%) was higher than that of obese (55.88%) and healthy weight preschool children (60.68%)( χ 2=53.56, P <0.01). From the perspective of ethnic, Tibetan children s physique proficiency (3.69%), good rate ( 17.13% ) than with the elevation of the Han nationality (0.74%, 5.88%), fraction defective (16.97%), lower than that of Han nationality (35.29%) ( χ 2=53.71, P <0.01); The results of chest circumference, skinfold thickness, body fat percentage, tennis throw distance, continuous jump of both feet, sitting forward bend and balance beam walking of Tibetan children were higher than those of Han children, and the results of quiet heart rate and standing long jump were lower than those of Han children ( t = 2.72 , 10.95, 9.66, 3.68, 3.88, 8.04, 3.56, 8.70, -4.39 , -4.40, P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that Tibetans ( OR =2.29), breastfeeding ( OR =1.51), body dynamics outdoor daily exercise duration 30-90 min (30-<60 min ;OR = 2.03 ; 60-90 min: OR =2.22) were positively correlated with physical health of preschool children ( P <0.05). Conclusions The total physical qualification rate of preschool children aged 3-6 years old in Tibet is lower than the national average. Ethnic group, feeding pattern during infancy, and physical activity are all factors that affected the physical fitness of preschool children in Tibet. It is of great significance to improve the physique of preschool children in Tibet to promote their sustainable and healthy development.

ObjectiveTo investigate common dyadic coping (CDC) in linking with marital satisfaction and quality of life (QOL) in patients with brain injury and their spouses in a rehabilitation facility by using common fate model (CFM). MethodsFrom October, 2022 to June, 2023, 101 brain injury inpatients and their spouses in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital completed the questionnaire of Dyadic Coping Inventory, Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale and World Health Organization Quality of Life. ResultsThe level of CDC between patients and their spouses significantly positively correlated with their marital satisfaction for both partners (β = 0.814, P < 0.001), as well as correlated with their quality of life (β = 0.271, P = 0.038; β = 0.481, P < 0.001). For the dimensions of QOL, the physical, psychological, social relationship and environmental dimensions significantly positive correlated with the CDC for the spouses, and only psychological and social relationship dimensions for the patients. ConclusionFacing the stress of brain injury, the level of CDC within couples can positively predict their marital satisfaction and QOL, and effect seems stronger for the spouses. It is advisable to consider both brain injured patients and their spouses as a whole to promote psychological adaptation and improve rehabilitation outcomes.
