Objective To investigate the significance of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics models in predicting occult lymph node metastasis in stage T1 non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)and to compare the predictive accuracy in different peritumoral radiomics models.Methods The CT images and clinical data of 211 patients without lymph node metastasis on preoperative CT examination and pathologically confirmed NSCLC after surgery were collected.The radiomics features were derived from the three-dimensional volume of interest(VOI)of the intratumoral and peritumoral at 3-,5-,and 10-mm following lesion segmentation on CT images of each patient.The feature data of all nidus were radomly divide into training set and validation set with a ratio of 7︰3.The Pearson or Spearman correlation test was performed to remove redundancy.Dimensionality was reduced by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression analysis.The linear combination of selected features and corresponding coefficients were used to construct the Radiomics score(Radscore).The clinical model and comprehensive model were constructed by logistic regression analysis.The conprehensive model was visualized with the nomogram,and its performance was evaluated.Results Among the peritumoral radiomics models,the peritumoral 5-mm model showed the best predictive efficacy[validation set,area under the curve(AUC)0.771].The comprehensive model containing Radscore,CT image features and CEA exhibited the best performance(validation set,AUC 0.850).Conclusion Intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics models perform efficiently in predicting occult lymph node metastasis in stage T1 NSCLC,and nomogram can effectively and noninvasively predict occult lymph node metastasis in NSCLC.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of the treat-and-extend (TAE) regimen and pro re nata (PRN) regimen of intravitreal conbercept in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) patients.Methods:A non-randomized controlled study was performed.Ninety-one patients (91 eyes) diagnosed with treatment-na?ve PCV from October 2016 to January 2019 at Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University People's Hospital were enrolled.All the patients received the intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg conbercept.After the initial treatment, the patients were divided into 3+ PRN group and 3+ TAE group according to their willingness.The follow-up time was one year.All the eyes underwent visual acuity test with ETDRS chart, optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), maximum retinal thickness (MRT), pigment epithelium detachment (PED) height, the number and area of polypoidal lesions, the area of retinal hemorrhage and the area of branching vascular network (BVN) were recorded.Treatment interval and injection frequencies during the one-year follow-up were compared between the two groups.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by Peking University People's Hospital (No.2020PHB250-01). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient.Results:One-year after treatment, the BCVA improvement in the 3+ PRN group and 3+ TAE group was 5.0(-2.0, 15.0) and 6.0(-1.0, 14.0) letters, respectively, showing no significant difference ( Z=-0.352, P=0.725). No significant differences were found in CRT, MRT and PED height between the two groups ( Z=-0.145, -0.529, -0.985, all at P>0.05). There was no significant difference in polypoidal lesions number, polypoidal lesions area, the number of eyes with different degrees of polyp regression, BVN area and retinal hemorrhage area between the two groups ( Z=-0.502, -0.300, -0.047, -0.265, -1.243, all at P>0.05). After the one-year follow-up, the mean injection frequency of 3+ PRN group was (7.6±0.9) times, which was lower than (8.4±2.0) times of 3+ TAE group, showing a significant difference ( t=2.432, P=0.019). The mean follow-up frequency was (11.3±1.5) times of 3+ PRN group, which was significantly higher than (10.1±1.7) times of 3+ TAE group ( t=3.403, P=0.001). For the 3+ TAE group, 17.1%(6/35) of patients achieved an extension interval of 12 weeks after the first 3 doses, and 48.5%(17/35) of patients achieved an extension interval of 8 weeks or more, with a mean maximum extension interval of (9.5±2.0) weeks.During the follow-up, 10 patients in 3+ PRN group and 8 patients in 3+ TAE group received photodynamic therapy as a rescue treatment. Conclusions:The 3+ PRN and 3+ TAE regimens of intravitreal injection of conbercept combined with photodynamic therapy as a rescue treatment have similar efficacy in visual and anatomical outcomes for PCV patients.3+ TAE regimen has a higher treatment frequency and fewer follow-up visits.

Objective:To evaluate the three-dimensional choroidal vascularity index (3D-CVI) and choriocapillaris blood flow density (CCD) changes in patients with high myopia using ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA), and to investigate the relationship between axial length (AL) and choroidal vascular structure changes in high myopia.Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.A control group of 168 eyes of 168 normal subjects, and a high myopia group of 182 eyes of 182 high myopia patients were enrolled from November 2021 to October 2022 at the Peking University People's Hospital.All subjects underwent an ultra-widefield SS-OCTA scan with an area of 24 mm × 20 mm.Full-field average and central area 3D-CVI and CCD were compared between the two groups.Correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were used for 3D-CVI, CCD and AL, respectively.The AL cut-off values were determined when 3D-CVI and CCD were reduced.The study followed the Declaration of Helsinki, and the study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Peking University People's Hospital (No.2021PHB058-001).All participants voluntarily signed an informed consent form.Results:The mean 3D-CVI and central 3D-CVI in the high myopia group were (31.37±7.85)% and (29.63±9.00)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than (32.86±4.25)% and (35.01±3.96)% in the control group ( t=2.241, 7.337; both at P<0.05).The mean CCD in the high myopia group was (45.59±3.63)%, which was significantly lower than (46.47±1.36)% in the control group ( t=3.038, P=0.003).Correlation analysis showed that mean 3D-CVI and CCD were negatively correlated with AL in the high myopia group ( r=-0.547, -0.657; both at P<0.001).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of 3D-CVI, CCD and AL suggested that the AL cut-off value of mean 3D-CVI-reduction was 28.93 mm and the area under the curve of 0.883 ( P<0.001, sensitivity=0.690, specificity=0.944).The AL cut-off value of mean CCD-reduction was 28.26 mm and the area under the curve was 0.884 ( P<0.001, sensitivity=0.793, specificity=0.832). Conclusions:3D-CVI and CCD are both reduced in patients with high myopia.As AL increases, CCD changes earlier than 3D-CVI.

Objective:To investigate the effect of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) on the progression of retinal arteriosclerosis by using a deep learning model.Methods:A cohort study was performed.Data of 1 928 individuals who underwent the medical examination at Beijing Yijiandian Clinic between January 2016 and August 2023 were reviewed, including baseline demographics, physical examination, serological test and fundus photography.Retinal arteriosclerosis was identified using a deep learning model.Five groups were divided according to LDL-C levels, including 389 subjects in group 1 (0.64-1.90 mmol/L), 387 subjects in group 2 (1.91-2.26 mmol/L), 384 subjects in group 3 (2.27-2.57 mmol/L), 385 subjects in group 4 (2.58-2.95 mmol/L), and 383 subjects in group 5 (2.96-6.06 mmol/L).The association between LDL-C levels and progression of retinal arteriosclerosis and the dose-response relationship were analyzed by logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression model.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Peking University People's Hospital (No.2021PHB058-001).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The incidence of retinal arteriosclerosis progression was 22.10% (426/1 928) during the mean follow-up (66.84±6.58) months.The proportions of fundus progression in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 15.68%(61/389), 21.71%(84/387), 21.35%(82/384), 25.71%(99/385), and 26.11%(100/383), respectively, with statistical significant differences among them ( χ2=15.97, P=0.003).Using group 1 as a reference, LDL-C 2.58-2.95 mmol/L was an independent risk factor for progression of retinal arteriosclerosis ( OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.04-2.22), and RCS analysis showed an " L" shaped association.The effect of LDL-C on retinal arteriosclerosis showed a threshold effect, with the risk of retinal arteriosclerosis progression increasing with increasing LDL-C when LDL-C was <2.34 mmol/L ( OR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.10-3.62), and stabilizing when LDL-C was ≥2.34 mmol/L. Conclusions:LDL-C has a threshold effect on the impact of retinal arteriosclerosis progression, and the threshold is 2.34 mmol/L.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is one of the most important retinal vascular diseases in China that leads to severe loss of vision. In recent years, the emergence of various emerging imaging technologies and new drugs has not only deepened our understanding of the natural course of this disease, but also significantly changed the traditional treatment mode of retinal laser photocoagulation as the gold standard, thereby significantly improved the visual prognosis. However, currently in various regions and levels of hospitals in China, the diagnosis and treatment of RVO still rely mainly on their own experience. The awareness and knowledge of RVO among ophthalmologists in various regions still need to be improved. A standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment pathway is needed in order to meet the needs of most RVO patients. Led by the Fundus Disease Group of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Fundus Disease Professional Committee of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, based on the existing evidence-based evidence at home and abroad, and following the principles of consensus formulation, Expert consensus on clinical diagnosis and treatment path of retinal vein occlusion in China has been compiled. The consensus systematically and comprehensively elaborated a standardized diagnosis and treatment pathway for RVO. Interpreting the key points in this consensus is helpful to highlight the core ideas, and improve the utilization of this consensus by ophthalmologists from all levels of hospitals.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical features of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) associated with COVID-19.Methods:A retrospective case series studies. A total of 12 eyes of 8 patients diagnosed of AMN associated with COVID-19 at Peking University People’s Hospital from December 5, 2022 to January 5, 2023 were included. Of the 8 patients, 2 were male (4 eyes) and 6 were female (8 eyes), with an average age of (29.38±8.60) years. All patients underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), and infra-red fundus photography (IR). After definite diagnosis, the patients were given symptomatic treatment such as local vasodilation, anti-inflammatory and systemic circulation improvement and nutritional nerve. Follow-up time was 21-30 days weeks. Clinical manifestations, OCT and IR image characteristics, and treatment outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The time from diagnosis of COVID-19 to the onset of ocular symptoms was (3.00±0.93) days. Among 12 eyes, 6 had complaints of paracentral scotoma, with 2 of them accompanied by visual acuity loss; and 6 had complaints of dark shadows in the vision, with 2 of them accompanied by visual acuity loss. At the initial examination, 2 eyes had a BCVA of less than 0.05, 2 eyes had a BCVA between 0.4 and 0.6, and 8 eyes had a BCVA between 0.8 and 1.0. At the last follow-up, visual symptoms improved in 7 eyes and remained unchanged in 5 eyes. Fundus color photography showed reddish-brown lesions in the macular area. Spectral-domain OCT revealed localized thickening and strong reflection of the outer plexiform layer (OPL) in the macular area, patchy strong reflections in the outer nuclear layer (ONL), and varying degrees of local discontinuity in the adjacent external limiting membrane, ellipsoid zone/interdigitation zone (EZ/IZ), with reduced local reflection in the adjacent retinal pigment epithelium layer in 2 eyes. The strong reflection area of the ONL on corresponding structural OCT was observed more clearly as a lesion range with strong reflection on en-face OCT. The incomplete structure of the EZ/IZ band was observed more clearly as a lesion range with weak reflection on en-face OCT. IR showed several clear-bordered and weakly reflecting lesions at the center of the macula, with the tip pointing to the fovea.Conclusions:AMN associated with COVID-19 tends to occur in young females. The OCT findings of AMN are characterized by strong reflections in the OPL and ONL, and lesion ranges can be observed more clearly at different levels using en-face OCT. The lesions on IR appear as weak reflections.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common macular disease, mainly manifested as a plasma detachment of the macula. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment for CSC, but with the shortage of the photosensitizer Verteporfin, the effective treatment of CSC has become a common concern for ophthalmologists. In this paper, based on the latest research results on the relationship between the changes in the thickness of the outer nuclear layer and the natural course of the disease and PDT therapy, we propose that patients with CSC should receive effective treatment as early as possible to prevent irreversible damage to visual function due to the thinning of the outer nuclear layer. In addition to PDT, it is recommended that laser photocoagulation or subthreshold micropulse laser treatment of the leaking spot should be considered first, depending on the presence of the leaking spot and its location in relation to the macula center. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy can be considered if there is a combination of choroidal neovascularization and/or polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. Other treatments that have not been demonstrated to be effective in evidence-based medicine are not recommended.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) guided half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial. A total of 72 patients (72 eyes) with acute CSC in Peking University People's Hospital from April 2019 to April 2020 were included in the study. They were randomly divided into OCTA group (OCTA-guided PDT, 31 eyes of 31 patients) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) group (ICGA-guided PDT, 33 eyes of 33 patients). All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus color photography, OCTA and ICGA examinations. International standard visual acuity chart was used for BCVA examination, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. In OCTA group, the hyper-reflective area on en face OCTA image at choriocapillaris level was identified as treating area. In ICGA group, the area of choroidal vascular hyperpermeability on ICGA which was related to the leakage on fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was identified as treating area. The area corresponding to the treating area on FFA or ICGA was outlined on the color fundus photograph to guide PDT laser spot. The complete subretinal fluid (SRF) resolution, BCVA, central retinal thickness (CRT) at 1, 3, 6 months and SRF recurrent rate at 3, 6 months were observed. Continuous variables between the two groups were compared by t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test. The χ2 test was used to compare the categorical variables. Results:At 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment, the SRF absorption rate in OCTA group and ICGA group was 74.2% (23/31), 63.6% (21/33), 87.1% (27/31) and 84.8% (28/33), 96.8% (30/31), 91.9% (31/33), respectively. OCTA-guided PDT was demonstrated noninferior to ICGA-guided PDT for complete SRF resolution at 1, 3, 6 months [95% confidence interval ( CI) -11.9%-33.1%, P=0.402; 95% CI -14.7%-19.3%, P=0.107; 95% CI-6.3%-16.1%, P=0.226]. There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate of SRF between the two groups at 3 and 6 months after treatment ( χ2=0.009, 0.047; P=0.925, 0.828). The difference of CRT was statistically significant at 6 months ( t=2.017, P=0.047). There was no significant difference in logMAR BCVA at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment ( t=0.529, 0.762, 1.017; P=0.581, 0.403, 0.243). Conclusions:During 6 months follow-up, OCTA-guided PDT was demonstrated noninferior to ICGA-guided PDT for the SRF absorption rate in patients with acute CSC.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the clinical manifestations and imaging features of the eyes with bullous retinal detachment.Methods:Retrospective case series study. Eleven eyes of 11 patients with bullous retinal detachment diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University People's Hospital from July 2015 to September 2021 were enrolled. There were 10 males and 1 female, with the mean age of (39.27±6.81) years. All patients had monocular bullous retinal detachment, with mean duration ranged from 3 months to 14 years. The basic information and medical history of all patients were collected. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), indirect ophthalmoscopy, color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and B-scan ultrasonography. BCVA was performed using a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. The clinical data and imaging features of BCVA, OCT, FFA and ICGA were retrospectively analyzed and summarized.Results:The mean logMAR BCVA of the 11 eyes was 0.91±0.45. Nine patients had bilateral disease, but bullous retinal detachment occurred in only 1 eye, and CSC manifestations were present in the contralateral eye. Six patients had received systemic or topical hormone therapy prior to onset. Yellowish-white material was observed in 6 eyes and retinal folds were observed in 5 eyes. OCT examination showed serous retinal detachment in the macular area with granular or patchy hyperreflective signals in the subretinal area in all eyes, and a few granular hyperreflective substances in the neuroretina in 6 eyes. Neuroretina cystoid degeneration was observed in 6 eyes, adhesion between the detached neuroretina and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) was observed in 6 eyes, RPE tear was observed in 6 eyes, and different forms of retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) were observed in 6 eyes. FFA showed multiple fluorescence leakage spots in 10 eyes, and the average number of fluorescence leakage spots in all eyes was 3.82±2.44. There were multiple diffuse RPE lesions in 9 eyes. The results of ICGA examination showed that choroidal vessels were dilated and multiple hyperfluorescent leaks were observed in all eyes. B-scan ultrasonography examination of all affected eyes showed retinal detachment. Retinal reattachment can be achieved at (2.0±1.0) months after photodynamic therapy (PDT), while SRF can be completely absorbed at (2.36±0.81) months. The mean logMAR BCVA can be improved to 0.50±0.33, and no recurrence was found in the follow-up period up to 6 months.Conclusions:Bullous retinal detachment is often associated with the use of hormones, while yellow-white material in the subretina and hyperreflective material in the OCT are common. It is characterized by neuroretina cystoid degeneration in the macular area, adhesion between the neuroretina and RPE, RPE tear and PED, with multiple fluorescence leakage spots and diffuse RPE lesions. PDT is an effective treatment for bullous retinal detachment.
