Objective: To prospectively evaluate the feasibility, accuracy, and safety of multiparameter MRI-guided percutaneous biopsy using a 1T open MRI scanner for evaluating suspicious centrally located lung lesions with associated post-obstructive atelectasis. Materials and Methods: In this single-center study, MRI-guided percutaneous coaxial cutting biopsy was performed for 107 suspicious central lung lesions with associated post-obstructive atelectasis in 107 patients between July 2015 and December 2020. A fast T2-weighted imaging (T2WI)-turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence and an enhanced fast T1-weighted imaging (T1WI)-TSE sequence were used to identify, localize, and biopsy lung lesions, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) was used as a supplementary sequence for identifying the lesion location. The final diagnosis was confirmed by surgical histopathology or clinical follow-up for a minimum of 24 months. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for diagnosing lung malignancies were calculated, and the complications were recorded for each case. Results: Using multiparameter MRI, central lung lesions could be clearly distinguished from post-obstructive atelectasis in 96 patients (89.7%). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRI-guided percutaneous biopsy for diagnosing lung malignancy was 97.0% (98/101), 100% (6/6), and 97.2% (104/107), respectively. Self-limited hemoptysis occurred in three patients. Pneumothorax occurred in five patients, of which none required pleural drainage. No serious procedure-related complications were observed. Conclusion As a technology that does not involve ionizing radiation, multiparameter MRI-guided percutaneous coaxial cutting biopsy is a safe and accurate diagnostic technique for evaluating centrally located lung lesions associated with post-obstructive atelectasis.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of Likert score and EPE grade score based on multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging(mpMRI)for extracapsular extension in prostate cancer(PCa).Methods The MR imaging and histopathology data from 272 PCa patients were analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent mpMRI examination within 2 months before radical prostatectomy.Two radiologists with over 10 years of experience assessed the mpMRI images according to the Likert score and EPE grade score,respectively,and compared with pathological findings.The consistency between the two radiologists was evaluated by weighted Kappa test.The statistical analysis was performed using MedCalc 20.0 software.The sensitivity,specificity and other indicators were calculated to analyze the optimal cut-off value of Likert score and EPE grade score for diagnosing extracapsular extension in PCa.The area under the curve(AUC)was used to compare the diagnostic performance of the two scoring systems for extracapsular extension in PCa.Results Among 272 PCa patients,there were 45 cases with extracapsular extension and 227 cases without extracapsular extension.The weighted Kappa coefficients were 0.730 and 0.820 for Likert score and EPE grade score,respectively,indicating good consistency.The optimal cut-off values for diagnosing extracapsular extension in PCa were Likert score 3 and EPE grade score 2.The sensitivity and specificity were 68.8%and 77.5%for Likert score 3,and 64.4%and 84.5%for EPE grade score 2,respectively.Both Likert score(AUC=0.780)and EPE grade score(AUC=0.797)had high accuracy in predicting extracapsular extension in PCa,with no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion Both Likert score and EPE grade score have good diagnostic performance in detecting extracapsular extension in PCa,which provides important diagnostic basis for clinical staging of PCa.

BACKGROUND:Croton cream can activate ERK pathways and have anti-apoptotic effects on neuronal cells.It is not clear whether it synergistically exerts anti-apoptotic effects by inhibiting the activation of JNK and p38 pathways. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects and mechanisms of croton cream on neuronal damage and apoptosis in the ischemic cortex of rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:(1)Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,croton cream low-dose group,croton cream medium-dose group,croton cream high-dose group and nimodipine group,with 15 rats in each group.Except for the sham operation group,animal models of middle cerebral artery occlusion were prepared in rats by the thread method.Rats in the three croton cream groups were given 20,40,and 60 mg/kg croton cream,respectively.Rats in the sham operation and model groups were given the same amount of normal saline,once a day,for 7 consecutive days.The optimal concentration of croton cream,namely the high dose of croton cream,was selected based on neurological deficit score,TTC staining,brain tissue water content,hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl staining.(2)Another 120 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,croton cream group,JNK inhibitor group,croton cream+JNK inhibitor group,p38 MAPK inhibitor group,croton cream+p38 MAPK inhibitor group,and nimodipine group,with 15 rats in each group.Animal models of middle cerebral artery occlusion were prepared using the thread method in all the groups except in the sham operation group.Thirty minutes before modeling,10 μL of SP600125(JNK inhibitor)and 10 μL of SB203580(p38 MAPK inhibitor)were injected into the lateral ventricle of the rats,respectively.Rats in croton cream groups were intragastrically given 60 mg/kg croton cream.Seven days later,the JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway,apoptosis-related proteins and cell apoptosis were detected by western blot,TUNEL staining and flow cytometry,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the sham operation group,neurological deficit score,cerebral water content,cerebral infarction volume and apoptosis rate were significantly increased in the model group(P<0.05),where nerve cells showed scattered distribution.Compared with the model group,neurological deficit score,water content of brain tissue and cerebral infarction volume were significantly decreased in the croton cream medium-dose group,high-dose group and nimodipine group(P<0.05),and the pathological morphology of nerve cells was significantly improved.(2)Compared with the JNK inhibitor group,p-JNK/JNK,p-p38/p38 and Bax expressions in rat brain tissue and the apoptotic rate were significantly decreased in the croton cream+inhibitor groups(P<0.05),while the expression of and Bcl-2 was significantly increased(P<0.05).To conclude,croton cream may inhibit the activation of JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway and reduce neuronal apoptosis to achieve neuroprotective effects in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To improve the survival rate and life quality of peritoneal dialysis(PD)patients,we es-tablished a retraining model based on ADDIE model,including optimizing the content,form and frequency.Methods From January 1,2022 to May 3,2023,based on the 5 stages of ADDIE model,we investigated the needs of pa-tients,invited 55 experts in the peritoneal dialysis field to design the final draft of the retraining model through 2 rounds of Delphi expert consultations,and 23 peritoneal dialysis patients were preexperimented to evaluate and re-vise the retraining model.Results The questionnaire recovery rates of the 2 rounds of expert consultation were 100％and 96.36％,respectively.The coordination coefficients of the first-level catalog were 0.379 and 0.384,and the coordination coefficients of the second-level catalog were 0.446 and 0.427,respectively.The Chi-square test showed that P＜0.05,indicating statistical significance.The content of the retraining model included 4 sections,33 subdirectories and 9 training forms,which were combined online and offline.The training frequency was different due to the different contents,and the single content of a single training form was mainly 15 min.Conclusion The PD patient retraining model constructed in this study is scientific,reliable and innovative.Its content is easy to un-derstand and diverse in forms.The training duration and frequency are in line with the memory rule,and the eval-uation takes into account both process and result.

Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of body height, body weight and body mass index (BMI) in children aged 3-17 years in China.Methods:Data were obtained from the National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey in 0-18 years old children in China. The study selected 70 853 children aged 3-17 years from 28 urban and rural survey sites in 14 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in 7 regions of China with multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling. M ( Q1, Q3) was used to describe the region, age and gender specific body height, body weight and BMI in the children aged 3-17 years. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the body height, body weight, and BMI between boys and girls in same age group. Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used to compare the body height, body weight and BMI among boys in different age groups and among girls in different age groups, as well as among boys in same age group and among girls in same age group from different regions, and DSCF method was used for further pairwise comparisons. Results:In this study, the median body height and body weight were 172.0 cm and 62.9 kg in 17-year-old boys and 160.0 cm and 53.7 kg in 17-year-old girls. The median for children's body height, body weight, and BMI in most age groups were higher in northeastern and northern China than in southern China, and the differences could be observed until age 17 years. The differences in body weight and BMI in children in northeastern and northern China were greater in Q3 than in Q1 compared with southern China. Conclusions:The body height of children aged 3-17 years continues to increase in China. Northeastern and northern China have more children with higher bodyweight, showing an obvious body weight increase trend, to which close attention needs to be paid.
