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.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of magnetic stimulation combined with biofeed-back technology in female stress urinary incontinence(SUI).Methods:Sixty mild or moderate female SUI patients who underwent rehabilitation treatment at the Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Center of Nanjing Women and Children's Healthcare Hospital from July to December 2021 were collected and randomly divided into two groups,with 30 pa-tients in each group.The observation group received a treatment protocol of electrical stimulation+biofeedback therapy(electric combined group)and the other group received a treatment protocol of magnetic stimulation+bi-ofeedback therapy(magnetic combined group).The treatment course for both groups consisted of 12 sessions.The Sandvik severity Index(urinary incontinence),the amount of u 1-hoururine leakage,pelvic floor muscle strength,pelvic floor muscle electrophysiological indices,the degree of urinary incontinence impact(ⅡQ-7 score)and the treatment efficacy were assessed and compared before and after the treatment in the two groups.Re-sults:Compared with the pre-treatment,the Sandvik Severity Index,the 1-hour urine leakage,and the n Q-7 score decreased in the magnetic combined group and the electric combined group after treatment,while the mus-cle strength of type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ,maximum of fast muscle,and mean value of slow muscle increased significantly,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The difference between the above indexes was not statistically significant when comparing the magnetic combined group and the electric combined group after treat-ment(P＞0.05),and the treatment efficiency of the electric combined group was 93.33％and that of the magnet-ic combined group was 96.67％,and there was no statistical significance when comparing the efficiency of the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions:Magnetic stimulation combined with biofeedback technology has high thera-peutic efficiency for mild or moderate SUl,and is an optional rehabilitation technique for women with SUI.
