Objective To evaluate the absence of corpus callosum(ACC)and intracranial accompanying abnormalities in fetus via prenatal MRI.Methods A total of 61 cases of fetal ACC diagnosed by prenatal MRI were analyzed retrospectively.The types and numbers of intracranial accompanying abnormalities were observed,and the probability of accompanying abnormalities was counted.According to whether the corpus callosum was completely absent,all cases were divided into complete ACC and partial ACC.Statistical differences of probability of accompanying abnormalities between the two groups were analyzed.Results A total of 54.1%(33/61)patients were complicated with other intracranial abnormalities,among which the most common was cerebral cortical dysplasia,accounting for 26.2%(16/61).The probability of complete ACC and partial ACC complicated with other intracranial abnormalities was 63.4%(26/41)and 35.0%(7/20),respectively,and there was statistical difference in intracranial abnormalities between complete ACC and partial ACC(χ2=4.37,P=0.037).The probability of complete ACC and partial ACC complicated with cerebral cortical dysplasia was 39.0%(16/41)and 5.0%(1/20),respectively,and there was statistical difference in cerebral cortical dysplasia between complete ACC and partial ACC(χ2=7.74,P=0.005).Conclusion MRI can accurately diagnose the fetal ACC and intracranial accompanying abnormalities.Complex ACC is more common than isolated ACC.Compared with partial ACC,complete ACC is more likely to be complicated with other intracranial abnormalities,and cerebral cortical dysplasia is the most common,which provides reliable diagnostic basis for fetal prognosis in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the molecular biological mechanism of Bw07 allele and its transferase alteration carried by a proband of ABw07 subtype.Methods:A 2-year-old male child was selected as the research object. The peripheral blood of the proband and his parents was identified for ABO blood type by the test tube method, and the ABO subgroup PCR-SSP detection and ABO gene sequencing were performed on the three individuals to determine their blood type genotypes. Finally, the effect of the p.Arg352Gln mutation on Bw07 transferase was verified by virtual mutation, DUET structure prediction, molecular dynamics analysis, and in vitro cellular experiments.Results:The serological phenotypes of the proband and his mother were ABw and Bw, respectively, while his father was normal A. The ABO subgroup PCR-SSP assay identified the three genotypes as Bw07/A, Bw07/O, and A/A, respectively.Sanger sequencing further verified that the proband and his mother carried the Bw07 gene, and virtual mutation showed that the intermolecular forces were weakened by the R352Q mutation. DUET predicted that this p.Arg352Gln mutation could affect the thermodynamic stability of Bw07 transferase. Molecular dynamics analysis confirmed that the alteration of thermodynamic stability was mainly related to the appearance of large fluctuations in the amino acid backbone atoms in the 125-133, 193-198 and 336-354 regions, and in vitro cellular experiments further verified the weakened antigen synthesis of Bw07 transferase.Conclusion:The formation of the ABw07 phenotype is associated with the mutation of the highly conserved Arg352 to Gln in Bw07 transferase.

Medical device imaging data augmentation is a method of expanding existing datasets by generating new data samples,which is of great significance for improving the performance of artificial intelligence(AI)medical device-related models and clinical application effects.However,traditional data augmentation methods are usually limited by the quality,realism,and diversity of generated samples.Denoising diffusion probabilistic model(DDPM)is a generative model based on the noise diffusion process,and its main idea is to generate samples with high quality by modelling the sampling process of the target distribution as a process of progressive denoising from the noise distribution.The basic principles and working mechanisms of DDPM were reviewed,the application scenarios of this method in AI medical device data augmentation were analyzed,and its advantages,challenges,and future development directions were explored to provide a reference for the field of AI medical device data augmentation.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different doses and withdrawal time of 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide （VCD） on the reproductive endocrine levels of female rats， and to explore the effective， stable， and safe dosage of VCD for constructing a premature ovarian insufficiency （POI） rat model. MethodSD rats with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into three groups： blank group， low-dose VCD group （80 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and high-dose VCD group （160 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 24 rats in each group. After drug intervention， samples were collected on the 15th day （D15） and the 45th day （D45） after intervention. The general condition， rate of estrous cycle disturbance， serum hormone levels， ovarian histomorphology， follicle count， pregnancy outcome， and the protein and mRNA expression of transforming growth factor （TGF）-β and Smad2/3 were assessed. ResultCompared with the blank group， the low-dose VCD group showed no significant differences in the rate of estrous cycle disturbance or serum follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， and estradiol （E₂） levels. Ovarian tissue was damaged. Specifically， the number of primordial and primary follicles decreased on D15 （P<0.01）， and the number of secondary follicles （P<0.01） and antral follicles （P<0.05） further decreased on D45. The litter number decreased on D15 （P<0.05）， but there was no significant difference on D45. Furthermore， TGF-β protein levels increased on D15 （P<0.05） and D45 （P<0.01）. The Smad2/3 levels increased on D45 （P<0.01）， and TGF-β and Smad2/3 mRNA levels increased on D45 （P<0.05）. Compared with the results in the blank group， the disturbance rate of the estrous cycle increased on D45 in the high-dose VCD group （P<0.01）. The serum of FSH and LH increased （P<0.01）， while E₂ decreased （P<0.05）. Ovarian tissue was damaged， and the downward trend of follicles at all levels was similar to that in the low-dose VCD group. The litter number significantly decreased on D15 and D45. TGF-β and Smad2/3 protein levels increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and TGF-β mRNA increased on D45 （P<0.05）. ConclusionHigh-dose VCD is an ideal method for constructing a POI rat model， being effective， stable， and safe.

Objective:To explore the relationship between blood glucose levels and blood glucose fluctuations and short-term prognosis in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital's Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) from January 2020 to December 2022. Patients were divided into the survival group and death group based on their 28-day survival status. Differences in general information, intravenous blood glucose data, and cerebral hemorrhage-related scoring data between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors, and the predictive significance was verified using the ROC curve.Results:The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that intracranial hemorrhage volume of no less than 30 mL, GCS score at admission, systolic blood pressure at admission, and the maximum amplitude of blood glucose fluctuations were correlated with the mortality rate of cerebral hemorrhage cases within 28 days. The relationship between the maximum amplitude of blood glucose fluctuations and death within 28 days was established using the ROC curve, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.711 ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The largest amplitude of glucose excursion (LAGE) is an independent risk factor for short-term death and has predictive value for the prognosis in patients with ICH.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the ultrasound parameters of reproductive system and the expression of endocrine hormone in female pediatric patients with precocious puberty(PP),and to assess the treatment effect.Methods:A total of 160 female pediatric patients with PP who admitted to Beijing Jingmei Group General Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected,and they were divided into a positive group and a normal group based on the diagnostic criteria for precocious puberty,with 80 cases in each group.Ultrasound examination was performed on the uterus,ovaries and breasts of 160 female pediatric patients with PP,and the relevant parameters of them were measured,and the levels of endocrine hormone in the serums of them were detected.The pediatric patients of positive group underwent again the ultrasound examination and the detection of endocrine hormone after they completed treatment.The differences of ultrasound parameters and endocrine hormone between two groups were compared,and the correlation of ultrasound parameters and endocrine hormone between two groups were analyzed,as well as the influence factors of treatment effect.Results:The length and thickness of the uterus,the ratio of the length of the uterus to the length of cervix,the thickness of the endometrium,the size of the ovaries,the number of follicles,and the width and thickness of the hypoechoic area of the breast in the positive group were significantly larger than them in the normal group,and the differences of them were statistical significance(t=16.8,12.6,12.4,14.7,11.5,15.8,10.9,10.2,P<0.05),respectively.The resistance index(RI)of uterine artery of positive group was significantly smaller than that of normal group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=-7.9,P<0.05).The serum estradiol(E2),gonadotropin(GnRH),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),progesterone(P)and growth hormone(GH)levels of positive group were significantly higher than those of normal group,and the differences of them were significant(t=20.6,19.8,15.4,17.6,15.2,8.9,P<0.05),respectively.After treatment,the above-mentioned ultrasound parameters and endocrine hormone levels of the pediatric patients in the positive group were significantly improved.The relevant analysis showed that ultrasound parameters were positively correlated with levels of endocrine hormone,and they were important influence factor on the levels of endocrine hormone.In addition,the treatment effect was related to ultrasound parameters(OR=0.78-1.28,P<0.05),the levels of endocrine hormone(OR=0.73-0.77,P<0.05),age,height,weight and BMI(OR=0.70-0.72,P<0.05).Conclusion:The ultrasound parameters of the reproductive system of female pediatric patients with PP are closely related to the expression of endocrine hormones.The levels of endocrine hormones can be used as important indicators of the disease condition and prognosis of female pediatric patients with PP.

Objective This study aims to develop and validate a dynamic web-based nomogram for predicting kinetophobia in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A prospective design was employed to selectively enroll 330 PCI patients admitted to a hospital in Hangzhou from December 2022 to July 2023.Single-factor analysis and Lasso regression were utilized to identify independent risk factors for kinesophobia post-PCI.Logistic regression was performed using R software,and a nomogram was constructed.The model was assessed through the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)and Hosmer-Lemeshow tests.Results There were 206 cases of kinesiophobia in 330 patients after PCI,and the incidence was 62.4％.Logistic regression analysis identified combined heart failure,emergency surgery,NYHA cardiac function grade,ADL level,sedentary behavior,Chinese version of PROMIS Physical Function Summary Table score,and Chinese version of Perceptive Social Support Scale score as independent influencing factors for kinesophobia after PCI(P＜0.05).The AUC value of the model was 0.821,with a sensitivity of 70.4％and specificity of 82.0％.The Hosmer-Lemeshow fit test yielded a non-significant result(x2=9.350,P=0.314).Calibration and decision curves demonstrated the model's favorable calibration and clinical practicability.The C-index of the nomogram prediction model was 0.778,0.774,and 0.800,respectively,by 5-fold cross-validation,10-fold cross-validation,and the Bootstrap method.Conclusion The dynamic nomogram model developed in this study effectively predicts kinesophobia in patients after PCI.It provides valuable references and support for clinical staff in early identification of high-risk patients,enabling the formulation of individualized health education strategies and exercise rehabilitation plans.

Objective To explore the difference in left ventricular reverse remodeling(LVRR)between coarctation of aorta(CoA)complicated by bicuspid aortic valve(BAV)and that by tricuspid aortic valve(TAV)after percutaneous intervention.Methods The clinical data on 47 patients undergoing percutaneous balloon dila-tion and stent implantation due to CoA in Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the preoperative imaging data,there were 18 patients with BAVA and 29 with TAV.The results of echocardiography before and one year after the procedure were compared.Results CoA Vmax,CoA PG,LVEDd,LVEDdi,LVM and LVMI were significantly improved in CoA patients one year after percutaneous intervention,and 23.4%of the patients developed left ventricular reverse remodeling.AV Vmax,AV PG and LVEDdi in the patients with BAV were higher than those in the TAV group(P = 0.005 and P = 0.007;P = 0.03),and the rate of left ventricular reverse remodeling in BAV patients was lower than that in TAV patients,but there was no statistical significance.Multivariate analysis did not find any influence factors affecting left ventricular reverse remodeling one year after the procedure.Conclusions Part of the CoA patients develops left ventricular remodeling reversal one year after percutaneous intervention.LVRR in patients with BAV is lower than that in those with TAV,which still needs further clinical research.

Objective To construct a prognostic model for uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma(UCEC)using the prognosis-associated ADME genes involved in controlling drug absorption,distribution,metabolism,and excretion(ADME),providing a reference for predicting the prognosis of UCEC and tumor treatment.Methods The gene expression and clinical information data of UCEC were obtained from the TCGA and ICGC databases.Prognosis-related ADME genes were screened using the univariate Cox regression analysis.Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression was used to identify optimal prognostic genes,and then a risk score model was constructed.Kaplan-Meier curve and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were constructed to assess predictive capability.R software was used to perform differentially expressed genes anal-ysis,functional enrichment analysis.Results A nine-gene signature(DHRS7B,CYP46A1,SLCO4C1,NR1I2,SLC16A1,SLCO3A1,ARSA,ABCC5,MGST2)was used for constructing a risk score model.Survival analysis showed that the survival time in high-risk patients was significantly shorter than in low-risk patients(the train set:P＜0.001;the test set:P=0.032).The are-as under the ROC curve of the train set and the test set for ROC at 1,3,5 years were 0.792,0.724,0.712,and 0.651,0.620,0.677,respectively.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk score was an independent risk factor for UCEC(HR=1.77,P=0.035).In addition,there was a significant difference in the miRNA-mediated silencing and regulation of sprouting angiogenesis pathways between the high-risk and low-risk score groups.Conclusion The prognosis model con-structed with nine key ADME genes may have the potential to be used for predicting the survival prognosis of patients with UCEC.
