Objective:
Accurate evaluation of inflammation severity in ulcerative colitis (UC) can guide treatment strategy selection. The potential value of the pericolic fat attenuation index (FAI) on CT as an indicator of disease severity remains unknown.This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of pericolic FAI in predicting UC severity.
Materials and Methods:
This retrospective study enrolled 148 patients (mean age 48 years; 87 males). The fat attenuation on CT was measured in four different locations: the mesocolic vascular side (MS) and opposite side of MS (OMS) around the most severe bowel lesion, the retroperitoneal space (RS), and the subcutaneous area. The fat attenuation indices (FAI MS, FAI OMS, and FAI RS) were calculated as the fat attenuation measured in MS, OMS, and RS, respectively, minus that of the subcutaneous area, and were obtained in the non-enhanced, arterial, and delayed phases. Correlations between the FAI and UC Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) were assessed using Spearman’s correlation. Predictors of severe UC (UCEIS ≥7) were selected by univariable analysis. The performance of FAI in predicting severe UC was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
Results:
The FAIMS and FAI OMS scores were significantly higher than FAI RS in three phases (all P < 0.001). The FAIMS and FAI OMS scores moderately correlated with the UCEIS score (r = 0.474–0.649 among the three phases). Additionally, FAI MS and FAI OMS identified severe UC, with AUC varying from 0.77 to 0.85.
Conclusion
Increased CT attenuation of pericolic adipose tissue could serve as a noninvasive marker for evaluating UC severity. FAI MS and FAI OMS of three phases showed similar prediction accuracies for severe UC identification.

This paper systematically summarizes the practical experience of the 2025 Dingri earthquake emergency medical rescue in Tibet. It analyzes the requirements for earthquake medical rescue under conditions of high-altitude hypoxia, low temperature, and low air pressure. The paper provides a detailed discussion on the strategic layout of earthquake medical rescue at the national level, local government level, and through social participation. It covers the construction of rescue organizational systems, technical systems, material support systems, and information systems. The importance of building rescue teams is emphasized. In high-altitude and cold conditions, rapid response, scientific decision-making, and multi-party collaboration are identified as key elements to enhance rescue efficiency. By optimizing rescue organizational structures, strengthening the development of new equipment, and promoting telemedicine technologies, the precision and effectiveness of medical rescue can be significantly improved, providing important references for future similar disaster rescues.

Objective:To compare the awakening effects of enriched environmental quantitative stimulation and conventional rehabilitation on patients with consciousness disorder after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 60 patients with consciousness disorder after TBI admitted to Hospital of Zhejiang Provincial Armed Police Corps from October 2021 to October 2022, including 38 males and 22 females, aged 26-72 years [(41.6±13.2)years]. The injury was located at the frontal and temporal lobe in 37 patients, at the brain stem in 9, and at the thalamus in 14. The types of injury included cerebral contusion and laceration in 36 patients and intracerebral hematomas in 24 patients. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission was 5-8 points in 11 patients, 9-12 in 34, and 13-15 in 15. Disease course was (19.2±5.4)days. A total of 30 patients received conventional rehabilitation treatment (conventional rehabilitation group) and 30 patients received enriched environmental quantitative stimulation on the basis of conventional rehabilitation treatment, which lasted 4 cycles in 28 days (quantitative stimulation group). The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) score, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score, and brainwave α/δ ratio (ADR) before treatment and at the second and fourth treatment cycles were compared between the two groups. The incidence of complications at the end of the fourth treatment cycle and the rate of favorable outcome of Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-12 months [(8.3±2.5)months]. There were no significant differences in CRS-R score, ADL score, or brainwave ADR between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05). At the second treatment cycle, they were (13.03±0.73)points, (14.83±0.95)points and 0.35±0.11 respectively in the quantitative stimulation group, which were all higher than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(11.18±0.14)points, (8.74±0.43)points and 0.29±0.09 respectively] ( P<0.05). At the fourth treatment cycle, they were (17.83±0.23)points, (52.93±10.75)points and 0.44±0.11 respectively in the quantitative stimulation group, which were all higher than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(13.67±0.35)points, (40.56±7.15)points and 0.37±0.07 respectively] ( P<0.05). The CRS-R score, ADL score, and brainwave ADR at the second treatment cycle were significantly higher than those before treatment, and they were even higher at the fourth treatment cycle than those at the second treatment cycle ( P<0.05). At the end of the fourth treatment cycle, the incidence of complications in the quantitative stimulation group was 13.3% (4/30), which was lower than that of the conventional rehabilitation group [36.7% (11/30)] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the favorable outcome rate of GOS was 80.0% (24/30) in the quantitative stimulation group, which was superior to 66.7% (20/30) in the conventional rehabilitation group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional rehabilitation treatment, enriched environmental quantitative stimulation for patients with consciousness disorder after TBI achieves enhanced consciousness level, activity of daily life and electroencephal reactivity, together with decreased incidence of complications and improved prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum soluble CD155 (sCD155), soluble CD163 (sCD163) and chemotherapy efficacy and prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A total of 126 patients with DLBCL admitted to Handan Central Hospital from May 2018 to May 2020 (DLBCL group) and 126 healthy subjects (control group) were prospectively selected to compare serum sCD155 and sCD163 levels. According to the chemotherapy effect of DLBCL patients, they were divided into effective group and ineffective group, and the serum sCD155 and sCD163 levels were compared before and after treatment. The effective rate of chemotherapy in patients with different serum sCD155 and sCD163 levels was compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relationship between serum sCD155 and sCD163 levels and 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of DLBCL patients. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the prognostic factors of DLBCL patients.Results:The serum levels of sCD155 and sCD163 in DLBCL group were higher than those in control group before treatment (all P<0.05). The effective rate of chemotherapy in 126 DLBCL patients in this group was 69.8%(88/126). Compared with the effective group, the serum levels of sCD155 and sCD163 were higher in the ineffective group before and after treatment (all P<0.05). Compared with before treatment, serum sCD155 and sCD163 levels in the effective group were decreased after treatment (all P<0.05). The effective rate of DLBCL patients in sCD155 and sCD163 high level groups was lower than that in sCD155 and sCD163 low level groups (all P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 3-year OS and PFS of DLBCL patients in the low level group of sCD155 and sCD163 were higher than those in the high level group (all P<0.05). The high level of sCD155 and sCD163 were independent risk factors for 3-year PFS and OS in DLBCL patients (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Abnormal levels of serum sCD155 and sCD163 in DLBCL patients may reduce the efficacy of chemotherapy and lead to poor prognosis.
