ObjectiveNon-invasive magnetic stimulation technology has been widely used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but there is a lack of convenient and timely methods for evaluating and providing feedback on the effectiveness of the stimulation, which can be used to guide the adjustment of the stimulation protocol. This study aims to explore the possibility of heart rate variability (HRV) in diagnosing AD and guiding AD magnetic stimulation intervention techniques. MethodsIn this study, we used a 40 Hz, 10 mT pulsed magnetic field to expose AD mouse models to whole-body exposure for 18 d, and detected the behavioral and electroencephalographic signals before and after exposure, as well as the instant electrocardiographic signals after exposure every day. ResultsUsing one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, we found that some HRV indicators could identify AD mouse models as accurately as behavioral and electroencephalogram(EEG) changes (P<0.05) and significantly distinguish the severity of the disease (P<0.05), including rMSSD, pNN6, LF/HF, SD1/SD2, and entropy arrangement. These HRV indicators showed good correlation and statistical significance with behavioral and EEG changes (r>0.3, P<0.05); HRV indicators were significantly modulated by the magnetic field exposure before and after the exposure, both of which were observed in the continuous changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) (P<0.05), and the trend of the stimulation effect was more accurately observed in the continuous changes of ECG. ConclusionHRV can accurately reflect the pathophysiological changes and disease degree, quickly evaluate the effect of magnetic stimulation, and has the potential to guide the pattern of magnetic exposure, providing a new idea for the study of personalized electromagnetic neuroregulation technology for brain diseases.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of using indocyanine green combined with autologous blood and methylene blue for localization of small lung nodules during thoracoscopic wedge resection. Methods Patients who underwent CT-guided percutaneous lung puncture injection of localization agents to locate lung nodules at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from November 2023 to January 2024 were selected. Under thoracoscopy, lung nodules were located by white light mode, fluorescence mode, or near-infrared mode and wedge resection was performed. The feasibility of using indocyanine green combined with autologous blood and methylene blue for localization of small lung nodules was preliminarily verified by evaluating whether the localization agent concentrated around the nodules, and the safety of this method was verified by analyzing the incidence of adverse reactions during patient puncture and surgery. Results A total of 30 patients with lung nodules were included, including 10 males and 20 females, with an average age of (55.5±11.2) years. In 26 patients, the amount of localization agent used was moderate, the localization agent concentrated around the nodules, and successful precise localization of small lung nodules was achieved. In 4 patients, due to excessive use of localization agent, the marker was diffuse with pleural staining. The overall localization success rate was 86.7%, and when the injection volume of localization agent was 0.2-0.5 mL, the localization success rate was 100.0%. All patients successfully completed thoracoscopic wedge resection and found nodule lesions, with negative margins and a distance from the margin to the lesion that met the requirements. There were no complications. Conclusion Thoracoscopic surgery using indocyanine green combined with autologous blood and methylene blue for localization of small lung nodules is safe and feasible.

Objective To investigate the prognosis and satisfaction of the R2 intervention procedure and develop related predictive models. Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with primary craniofacial hyperhidrosis who underwent R2 intervention surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from November 2018 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. By statistically analyzing the risk factors for compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) and satisfaction, and conducting feature screening, a relevant prediction model was established. Results Finally, 51 patients were collected, including 43 (84.3%) males and 8 (15.7%) females, with an average age of (30.27±7.22) years. Overall postoperative satisfaction was high, with only 5.9% of patients expressing regret about the surgery. However, 92.2% of patients experienced CH. The onset of postoperative CH was most prominent within the first 3 months postoperatively, with the incidence rate stabilizing thereafter. Preoperative heart rate and R2 sympathetic nerve clipping were identified as independent risk factors for severe CH. The preoperative body mass index, the degree of sweating in the chest and abdomen, are significantly correlated with postoperative satisfaction. Conclusion The R2 intervention surgery effectively alleviates the symptoms of primary craniofacial hyperhidrosis, and patient satisfaction is high.

Objective To investigate the occupational risk perception of surgeons in a tertiary hospital in Suzhou and ex-plore the relationship between occupational risk perception and self-efficacy,and to provide suggestions for improving surgeons'mental health.Methods The occupational risk perception scale of surgeons was designed to investigate,and 194 valid question-naires were collected.Factor analysis,correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to study the data.Results Occupa-tional risk perception of surgeons has multidimensional structures,including physical function risk,economic risk,occupational exposure risk,organizational risk,time risk and psycho-social risk.Age,educational background,professional title and working time are the influencing factors of occupational risk perception,and occupational risk perception of surgeons is significantly nega-tively correlated with self-efficacy.Conclusion The scale designed has good reliability and validity,and surgeons have a high lev-el of occupational risk perception,which can reduce the negative impact of occupational risk perception by improving self-efficacy.

Objective To investigate the value of des-γ-carboxy-prothrombin(DCP)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 179 HCC patients who were admitted to The First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2020 to July 2021,and 207 healthy controls were enrolled as normal group.Magnetic particle chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to measure the serological levels of alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)and DCP.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted for each indicator measured alone or in combination,and the area under the ROC curve(AUC)was calculated to investigate the value of DCP combined with AFP versus AFP alone in the diagnosis of HCC and the diagnostic efficacy of DCP in AFP-negative patients.The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups;the ROC curve was used to evaluate diagnostic efficiency;the Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of tumor markers with the pathological features of HCC.Results The patients with HCC had significantly higher serum levels of AFP and DCP than the normal group(Z=-9.562 and-11.678,P＜0.05),and combined measurement of DCP and AFP had a better value than AFP measured alone(Z=5.309,P＜0.01).DCP had certain capability in the diagnosis of AFP-negative HCC patients,with an AUC of 0.789(P＜0.000 1),a sensitivity of 61.64%,and a specificity of 86.47%.Serum DCP level was positively correlated with tumor size(r=0.546,P＜0.001),TNM stage(r=0.306,P＜0.001),and microvascular invasion(r=0.358,P＜0.001)and was negatively correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation(r=-0.220,P＜0.05).Conclusions The combined measurement of AFP and DCP can improve the detection rate of HCC,and DCP can be used for supplementary screening in AFP-negative HCC patients.The expression level of DCP is correlated with the clinicopathological features of HCC,including tumor size,TNM stage,microvascular invasion,and the degree of tumor differentiation.

Objective:To analyze the association between visceral fat area (VFA) and fatty liver based on quantitative CT (QCT) in people receiving health examination with normal body mass index (BMI).Methods:A cross-sectional study. A total of 1 305 physical examiners who underwent chest CT and QCT examination in the Department of Health Management of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January to December 2021 were retrospectively selected as subjects. The physical components at the central level of the lumbar two cone were measured with QCT, including subcutaneous fat area (SFA), VFA and liver fat content (LFC). And the metabolic indexes, such as blood lipids and blood glucose, were collected. The t-test and χ2 test were used to analyze the correlation between the detection rate of fatty live and LFCr and age and gender. According to level of VFA (<100 cm 2, 100-150 cm 2 and≥150 cm 2), the subjects were divided into three groups, and one-way ANOVA and χ2 test were used in comparison between groups. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between VFA and metabolic indexes and LFC. Results:Of the 1 305 subjects, there were 634 males and 671 females. The detection rate of fatty liver in normal BMI population was 65.67%, and it was 72.71% and 59.02% respectively in men and women ( χ2=27.12, P<0.001), and the detection rate of fatty liver and LFC increased with age (both P<0.05). With the increase of VFA, the age, BMI, SFA, LFC, total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood uric acid and prevalence of fatty liver increased (all P<0.05), and the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) decreased ( P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age factors, regardless of male or female, LFC was independently positively related with VFA, BMI, and ALT (male β=0.206, 0.145, 0.174, female β=0.194, 0.150, 0.184; all P<0.05). FBG was positively correlated with male independently ( β=0.134; P<0.001). The indicators related to female independently were TC, TG, and blood uric acid ( β=-0.121, 0.145, 0.141, all P<0.05) Conclusion:In the population receiving health examination with normal BMI, the VFA measured by QCT technique is closely related to fatty liver.
