Blau syndrome (BS), is an autoinflammatory granulomatosis disease characterized by a distinct triad of skin, joint, and eye disorders similar to those of sarcoidosis, but the lung involvement frequently observed in sarcoidosis are rare. Granulomas from patients with BS displayed a distinct morphology indicating an exuberant chronic inflammatory response. Patients with BS may have granulomatous lung lesions, which require early diagnosis. To determine whether therapeutic intervention is needed for lung lesions, examining transbronchial lung cryobiopsy specimens and accumulating cases of BS with lung involvement could be contributed to improving BS management in the future.
布劳综合征(BS)是一种自身炎症性肉芽肿病,其特点是皮肤、关节和眼部出现明显的三联症,与肉样瘤病相似,但很少出现肉样瘤病常出现的肺部受累症状。肉芽肿病患者的肉芽肿形态独特,表明其慢性炎症反应旺盛。BS 患者的肺部可能出现肉芽肿病变,需要及早诊断。为了确定是否需要对肺部病变进行治疗干预,检查经支气管肺冷冻活检标本和积累肺部受累的 BS 病例有助于改善未来的 BS 管理。

The coexistence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) poses a significant health concern globally, with their convergence presenting a considerable challenge to healthcare systems. Previous research has highlighted that comorbidities can mutually influence and exacerbate immune disorders. However, there is a paucity of data on the impact of DM on immunological features and treatment responses in the TB population in China.From January 2020 to June 2022, 264 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis patients (82 DM patients and 182 non-DM patients) hospitalized in our center were selected. 80 patients with TB with DM (TB-DM) and 80 patients with TB without DM (TB-NDM) were enrolled into the final analysis by propensity score matching for age, gender and involved lung field at a ratio of 1:1. The clinical characteristics, immunological features and treatment response were compared between the two groups.After propensity score matching, no differences in the general features such as age gender, involved lung field, the incidence of retreatment and WBC count were found between the two groups. Compared to TB-NDM group, the TB-DM group exhibited a higher positive rate of sputum smear and incidence of cavitary lesions. Immunological features analysis revealed that the TB-DM patients had higher levels of TNF-α [pg/ml; 8.56 (7.08–13.35) vs. 7.64 (6.38–10.14) p = 0.033] and IL-8 [pg/ml; 25.85 (11.63–58.40) vs. 17.56 (6.44–39.08) p = 0.003] but lower CD8+ T lymphocyte count [cells/mm3; 334.02 (249.35–420.71) VS 380.95 (291.73–471.25) p = 0.038]. However, there was no significant difference in serum IL-6 concentration and CD4+ T lymphocyte count between the two groups. After 2 months of anti-tuberculosis treatment, 39 (24.4%) cases had suboptimal treatment response, including 23 (28.7%) TB-DM patients and 16 (20%) TB-NDM patients. There was no difference in suboptimal response rate (SRR) was found between the two groups (p = 0.269). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that retreatment for TB [AOR: 5.68 (95%CI: 2.01–16.08), p = 0.001], sputum smear positivity [AOR: 8.01 (95%CI: 2.62–24.50), p = 0.001] were associated with SRR in all participants, and in TB-DM group, only sputum smear positivity [AOR: 16.47 (1.75–155.12), p = 0.014] was positive with SRR.DM is a risk factor for pulmonary cavity formation and sputum smear positivity in TB population. Additionally, TB-DM patients is characterized by enhanced cytokine responses and decreased CD8+ T lymphocytes. The retreatment for TB and sputum smear positivity were associated with the occurrence of suboptimal treatment response.
糖尿病(DM)和肺结核(PTB)的并存在全球范围内构成了一个重大的健康问题,这两种疾病的并发给医疗保健系统带来了相当大的挑战。以往的研究强调,合并症可相互影响并加剧免疫紊乱。2020 年 1 月至 2022 年 6 月,我们选取了在本中心住院治疗的 264 例肺结核患者(82 例 DM 患者和 182 例非 DM 患者)。通过对年龄、性别和受累肺野进行倾向评分匹配,以1:1的比例将80例有DM的肺结核患者(TB-DM)和80例无DM的肺结核患者(TB-NDM)纳入最终分析。经过倾向得分匹配后,两组患者在年龄、性别、受累肺野、再治疗发生率和白细胞计数等一般特征方面没有发现差异。与 TB-NDM 组相比,TB-DM 组的痰涂片阳性率和空洞性病变发生率更高。免疫学特征分析显示,TB-DM 患者的 TNF-α [pg/ml; 8.56 (7.08-13.35) vs. 7.64 (6.38-10.14) p = 0.033] 和 IL-8 [pg/ml; 25.85 (11.63-58.40) vs. 17.56 (6.44-39.08) p = 0.003],但 CD8+ T 淋巴细胞计数较低 [cells/mm3; 334.02 (249.35-420.71) VS 380.95 (291.73-471.25) p = 0.038]。然而,两组患者的血清 IL-6 浓度和 CD4+ T 淋巴细胞计数无明显差异。经过 2 个月的抗结核治疗后,39 例(24.4%)患者的治疗反应不达标,其中包括 23 例(28.7%)TB-DM 患者和 16 例(20%)TB-NDM 患者。两组患者的次优反应率(SRR)无差异(P = 0.269)。多变量逻辑回归分析表明,结核病再治疗[AOR:5.68(95%CI:2.01-16.08),p = 0.001]、痰涂片阳性[AOR:8.01(95%CI:2.62-24.50),p = 0.在所有参与者中,DM 与 SRR 相关,而在 TB-DM 组中,只有痰涂片阳性 [AOR: 16.47 (1.75-155.12),p = 0.014] 与 SRR 呈阳性。此外,肺结核-DM 患者的细胞因子反应增强,CD8+ T 淋巴细胞减少。肺结核再治疗和痰涂片阳性与治疗反应不理想有关。

The aim of this study is to determine the steps of a training program utilizing Head-Mounted Display (HMD) based Virtual Reality Technology to enhance nursing students’ skills in surgical hand scrubbing, wearing surgical cap and surgical mask, gowning and gloving, and to evaluate students’ perceptions toward the program.The study aimed to investigate the potential applications of HMD-Based Virtual Reality Technology in Surgical Hand Scrubbing, Wearing Surgical Cap and Surgical Mask, Gowning and Gloving Program for nursing students, as well as students’ perceptions toward this technology. The research was conducted with a focus group consisting of second-year nursing students in Osmaniye/Turkey, between January and June 2022, and the training program was implemented in five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The program was evaluated with a focus group of nursing students. Focus group discussions were conducted to provide insights into students’ experiences, feedback, and perceptions of the program.A vast majority of participants (92.5%) reported feeling fully immersed in the operating room environment during the virtual reality (VR) experience. Notably, all students acknowledged the potential of HMD-Based Virtual Reality Technology to enrich their understanding of surgical hand scrubbing, wearing surgical cap and surgical mask, gowning and gloving procedures, surpassing conventional instructional models. While many participants found the experience exhilarating (85.1%), a considerable portion reported a decline in engagement after repeated exposures (88.8%). Overall, participants welcomed the integration of VR technology into education, expressing optimism about its capacity to facilitate additional instructional modules (74.4%). Moreover, they conveyed satisfaction with the opportunity to engage with the VR application, emphasizing its significant educational value (81.4%).Based on these findings, we can suggest that virtual reality technology has the potential to have an impact on nursing students’ education. The majority of students expressing a sense of presence in the operating room highlights the value of this method in education. However, the reported boredom after repeated experiences by most participants underscores the importance of diversifying the program and introducing innovative approaches to keep students engaged.
本研究旨在确定利用基于头戴式显示器(HMD)的虚拟现实技术提高护理专业学生在外科手部擦洗、戴手术帽和手术口罩、穿手术服和手套方面技能的培训计划的步骤,并评估学生对该计划的看法。本研究旨在调查基于 HMD 的虚拟现实技术在护理专业学生外科手部擦洗、戴手术帽和手术口罩、穿手术服和手套计划中的潜在应用,以及学生对该技术的看法。这项研究是在 2022 年 1 月至 6 月期间,在土耳其奥斯曼尼耶由二年级护理专业学生组成的焦点小组中进行的,培训计划分五个阶段实施:培训计划的实施分为五个阶段:分析、设计、开发、实施和评估。该计划由护理专业学生组成的焦点小组进行评估。绝大多数参与者(92.5%)表示,在虚拟现实(VR)体验过程中,感觉完全沉浸在手术室环境中。值得注意的是,所有学员都承认,基于 HMD 的虚拟现实技术可以丰富他们对外科手部擦洗、戴手术帽和手术面罩、穿手术衣和手套程序的理解,超越了传统的教学模式。虽然许多学员认为这种体验令人兴奋(85.1%),但也有相当一部分学员表示在反复接触后参与度有所下降(88.8%)。总体而言,参与者对将 VR 技术融入教育表示欢迎,并对其促进更多教学模块的能力表示乐观(74.4%)。此外,他们对参与虚拟现实应用的机会表示满意,并强调其重要的教育价值(81.4%)。基于这些发现,我们可以认为虚拟现实技术有可能对护理专业学生的教育产生影响。大多数学生表示在手术室里有一种身临其境的感觉,这凸显了这种方法在教育中的价值。然而,大多数参与者表示在反复体验后感到厌倦,这强调了课程多样化和引入创新方法以保持学生参与的重要性。

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection involves distinct clinical and serological profiles. We evaluated the frequency of alleles of locus DRB1 of HLA class II in different serological profiles of EBV infection among HIV-1 infected patients.We recruited 19 patients with primary infection, 90 with serological transition and 467 with past infection by EBV, HIV-1 co-infection was 100% in primary infection and approximately 70% in other serological profiles. EBV viral load was quantified by real-time PCR, T lymphocyte quantification and cytokine level analysis were performed by flow cytometry, and HLA locus genotyping was performed by PCR-SSO.The DRB1*09 allele was associated with primary infection (p: 0.0477), and carriers of the allele showed changes in EBV viral load (p: 0.0485), CD8(+) T lymphocyte counts (p: 0.0206), double-positive T lymphocyte counts (p: 0.0093), IL-4 levels (p: 0.0464) and TNF levels (p: 0.0161). This allele was also frequent in HIV-coinfected individuals (p: 0.0023) and was related to the log10 HIV viral load (p: 0.0176) and CD8(+) T lymphocyte count (p: 0.0285). In primary infection, the log10 HIV viral load was high (p: 0.0060) and directly proportional to the EBV viral load (p: 0.0412). The DRB1*03 allele correlated with serological transition (p: 0.0477), EBV viral load (p: 0.0015), CD4(+) T lymphocyte count (p: 0.0112), CD8(+) T lymphocyte count (p: 0.0260), double-negative T lymphocyte count (p: 0.0540), IL-4 levels (p: 0.0478) and IL-6 levels (p: 0.0175). In the serological transition group, the log10 HIV viral load was high (p: 0.0060), but it was not associated with the EBV viral load (p: 0.1214). Past infection was related to the DRB1*16 allele (p: 0.0477), with carriers displaying IgG levels (p: 0.0020), CD4(+) T lymphocyte counts (p: 0.0116) and suggestive CD8(+) T count alterations (p: 0.0602). The DRB01*16 allele was also common in HIV-1 patients with past EBV infection (p: 0.0192); however, the allele was not associated with clinical markers of HIV-1 infection.Our results suggest that HLA class II alleles may be associated with the modulation of the serological profiles of the immune response to Epstein-Barr virus infection in patients coinfected with HIV-1.
Epstein-Barr 病毒(EBV)感染涉及不同的临床和血清学特征。我们招募了 19 名原发感染患者、90 名血清学转归患者和 467 名既往感染过 EBV 的患者,原发感染患者中 100%合并有 HIV-1 感染,其他血清学转归患者中约 70%合并有 HIV-1 感染。EBV 病毒载量通过实时 PCR 进行定量,T 淋巴细胞定量和细胞因子水平分析通过流式细胞术进行,HLA 位点基因分型通过 PCR-SSO 进行。DRB1*09等位基因与原发性感染相关(p:0.0477),等位基因携带者的EBV病毒载量(p:0.0485)、CD8(+)T淋巴细胞计数(p:0.0206)、双阳性T淋巴细胞计数(p:0.0093)、IL-4水平(p:0.0464)和TNF水平(p:0.0161)均有变化。该等位基因在艾滋病毒合并感染者中也很常见(p:0.0023),并与 log10 HIV 病毒载量(p:0.0176)和 CD8(+)T 淋巴细胞计数(p:0.0285)有关。在原发性感染中,log10 HIV 病毒载量较高(p:0.0060),与 EBV 病毒载量成正比(p:0.0412)。DRB1*03 等位基因与血清学转换(p:0.0477)、EBV 病毒载量(p:0.0015)、CD4(+)T 淋巴细胞计数(p:0.0112)、CD8(+)T 淋巴细胞计数(p:0.0260)、双阴性 T 淋巴细胞计数(p:0.0540)、IL-4 水平(p:0.0478)和 IL-6 水平(p:0.0175)相关。在血清学转换组中,log10 HIV 病毒载量较高(p:0.0060),但与 EBV 病毒载量无关(p:0.1214)。既往感染与 DRB1*16 等位基因有关(p:0.0477),携带者显示 IgG 水平(p:0.0020)、CD4(+)T 淋巴细胞计数(p:0.0116)和提示性 CD8(+)T 计数改变(p:0.0602)。我们的研究结果表明,HLA II 类等位基因可能与合并感染 HIV-1 的患者对 Epstein-Barr 病毒感染的免疫反应血清学特征的调节有关。

We describe a technique to reattach the detached Descemet’s membrane, following cataract surgery. From the main clear corneal cataract incision, aqueous humor is ejected completely by apposition of the cornea to the iris for approximately 3 s. This ensures the fluid in the space between the stroma and Descemet’s membrane is ejected and the detached Descemet’s membrane returns to its original position. Sterile air is injected through a paracentesis 180 degrees away from the Descemet’s membrane detachment, to maintain a complete air-filled chamber. Full air tamponade is maintained for 20 min, following which one-third of the air is ejected from the chamber to prevent an increase of postoperative intraocular pressure.
我们介绍了一种在白内障手术后重新连接脱落的德斯密特膜的技术。从透明角膜白内障主切口,通过角膜与虹膜贴合约 3 秒钟,将房水完全喷出。这样可以确保基质和德斯梅特膜之间的液体被排出,脱落的德斯梅特膜回到原来的位置。无菌空气通过与德斯密特膜分离处成 180 度的旁腔注入,以保持腔内完全充满空气。维持完全空气填塞 20 分钟,然后从腔内排出三分之一的空气,以防止术后眼内压升高。

Links have been established between SARS-CoV-2 and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). However, the relationships between inflammation, ERS, and the volume of organ damage are not well known in humans. The aim of this study was to explore whether ERS explains lung damage volume (LDV) among COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).We conducted a single-center retrospective study (ancillary analysis of a prospective cohort) including severe COVID-19 ICU patients who had a chest computed tomography (CT) scan 24 h before/after admission to assess LDV. We performed two multivariate linear regression models to identify factors associated with plasma levels of 78 kDa-Glucose-Regulated Protein (GRP78; ERS marker) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6; inflammation marker) at admission.Among 63 patients analyzed, GRP78 plasma level was associated with LDV in both multivariate models (β = 22.23 [4.08;40.38]; p = 0.0179, β = 20.47 [0.74;40.20]; p = 0.0423) but not with organ failure (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score) at admission (r = 0.03 [−0.22;0.28]; p = 0.2559). GRP78 plasma level was lower among ICU survivors (1539.4 [1139.2;1941.1] vs. 1714.2 [1555.2;2579.1] pg./mL. respectively; p = 0.0297). IL-6 plasma level was associated with SOFA score at admission in both multivariate models (β = 136.60 [65.50;207.70]; p = 0.0003, β = 193.70 [116.60;270.90]; p < 0.0001) but not with LDV (r = 0.13 [−0.14;0.39]; p = 0.3219). IL-6 plasma level was not different between ICU survivors and non-survivors (12.2 [6.0;43.7] vs. 30.4 [12.9;69.7] pg./mL. respectively; p = 0.1857). There was no correlation between GRP78 and IL-6 plasma levels (r = 0.13 [−0.13;0.37]; p = 0.3106).Among severe COVID-19 patients, ERS was associated with LDV but not with systemic inflammation, while systemic inflammation was associated with organ failure but not with LDV.
SARS-CoV-2 与内质网应激(ERS)之间已经建立了联系。然而,炎症、ERS 和器官损伤体积之间的关系在人类中并不十分清楚。我们进行了一项单中心回顾性研究(前瞻性队列的辅助分析),研究对象包括重症 COVID-19 ICU 患者,他们在入院前/后 24 小时接受了胸部计算机断层扫描(CT),以评估肺损伤体积(LDV)。我们建立了两个多变量线性回归模型,以确定与入院时血浆中 78 kDa-葡萄糖调节蛋白(GRP78;ERS 标志物)和白细胞介素-6(IL-6;炎症标志物)水平相关的因素。在分析的63名患者中,GRP78血浆水平在两个多变量模型中均与LDV相关(β = 22.23 [4.08;40.38]; p = 0.0179, β = 20.47 [0.74;40.20]; p = 0.0423),但与入院时器官衰竭(序贯器官衰竭评估(SOFA)评分)无关(r = 0.03 [-0.22;0.28]; p = 0.2559)。ICU 幸存者的 GRP78 血浆水平较低(分别为 1539.4 [1139.2;1941.1] vs. 1714.2 [1555.2;2579.1] pg./mL;p = 0.0297)。在两个多变量模型中,IL-6血浆水平与入院时的SOFA评分相关(β = 136.60 [65.50;207.70]; p = 0.0003, β = 193.70 [116.60;270.90]; p < 0.0001),但与LDV无关(r = 0.13 [-0.14;0.39]; p = 0.3219)。ICU 幸存者和非幸存者的 IL-6 血浆水平没有差异(分别为 12.2 [6.0;43.7] vs. 30.4 [12.9;69.7] pg./mL;p = 0.1857)。在严重的 COVID-19 患者中,ERS 与 LDV 相关,但与全身炎症无关,而全身炎症与器官衰竭相关,但与 LDV 无关。

This meta-analysis aims to examine how effective ketamine is in the management of acute and preventing chronic post-thoracotomy pain by synthesizing the available research.A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library till May 2023. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) examining the influence of ketamine on post-thoracotomy pain in adults were included. The intervention group included ketamine plus morphine, while the control group included morphine only. The outcome measures were opioid intake and pain scores at rest and on moving/coughing. Evidence quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias and GRADE assessment.Nine articles comprising 556 patients were selected for meta-analysis. The intervention group had a significant decrease in pain at rest (Std. Mean Difference (SMD = −0.60 with 95% CI [−0.83, −0.37]) and on movement/cough (SMD = −0.73 [−1.27, −0.18]) in the first postoperative days. Also, the ketamine group had lower opioid consumption (mg) in comparison with controls (SMD = −2.75 [−4.14, −1.36], p-value = 0.0001) in postoperative days 1-3. There was no data to assess the long-term effect of ketamine on chronic pain.This meta-analysis shows that ketamine use can lower acute pain levels and morphine use after thoracotomy. In the future, larger RCTs using standardized methods and assessing both short-term and long-term analgesic effects of ketamine are necessary to deepen the understanding of the issue.
本荟萃分析旨在通过综合现有研究,探讨氯胺酮在治疗胸廓切开术后急性疼痛和预防慢性疼痛方面的效果。研究氯胺酮对成人胸廓切开术后疼痛影响的随机对照试验(RCT)被纳入其中。干预组包括氯胺酮加吗啡,而对照组仅包括吗啡。结果测量指标为阿片类药物摄入量以及休息和活动/咳嗽时的疼痛评分。采用 Cochrane 偏倚风险和 GRADE 评估法对证据质量进行了评估。在术后最初几天,干预组患者休息时的疼痛(SMD = -0.60,95% CI [-0.83, -0.37])和活动/咳嗽时的疼痛(SMD = -0.73 [-1.27, -0.18])明显减轻。此外,与对照组相比,氯胺酮组在术后第1-3天的阿片类药物消耗量(毫克)较低(SMD = -2.75 [-4.14, -1.36], p值 = 0.0001)。这项荟萃分析表明,使用氯胺酮可降低胸廓切开术后的急性疼痛水平和吗啡用量。今后,有必要使用标准化方法进行更大规模的 RCT 研究,评估氯胺酮的短期和长期镇痛效果,以加深对这一问题的理解。

Family-centered care (FCC) is a model of care provision that sees a patient’s loved ones as essential partners to the health care team and positively influences the psychological safety of patients and loved ones.This review aims to present an overview of impactful publications, authors, institutions, journals, countries, fields of application and trends of FCC in the 21st century as well as suggestions on further research.The Web of Science Database was searched for publications on FCC between January 2000 and Dezember 2023. After screening for duplicates, VOS Viewer and CiteSpace were used to analyze and visualize the data.Scientific interest in FCC has grown and resulted in the scientific output of 4,836 publications originating from 103 different countries. Based on the frequent author keywords, FCC was of greatest interest in neonatology and pediatrics, nursing, critical and intensive care, end-of-life and palliative care, and patient-related outcomes. The recent research hotspots are “patient engagement,” “qualitative study,” and “health literacy.”FCC has gained recognition and spread from the pediatric to the adult palliative, intensive, end-of-life and geriatric care settings. This is a very reassuring development since adults, especially when older, want and need the assistance of their social support systems. Recent research directions include the involvement of patients in the development of FCC strategies, health literacy interventions and the uptake of telemedicine solutions.
以家庭为中心的护理(FCC)是一种提供护理的模式,它将患者的亲人视为医疗团队的重要合作伙伴,并对患者和亲人的心理安全产生积极影响。本综述旨在概述21世纪以家庭为中心的护理(FCC)的重要出版物、作者、机构、期刊、国家、应用领域和趋势,以及进一步研究的建议。在筛选重复内容后,我们使用 VOS Viewer 和 CiteSpace 对数据进行了分析和可视化。根据作者经常使用的关键词,新生儿科和儿科、护理、重症和重症监护、临终关怀和姑息治疗以及与患者相关的结果等领域对 FCC 的兴趣最大。最近的研究热点是 "患者参与"、"定性研究 "和 "健康素养"。"FCC "已得到认可,并从儿科扩展到成人姑息治疗、重症监护、临终关怀和老年病护理领域。这是一个非常令人欣慰的发展,因为成年人,尤其是老年人,希望并需要社会支持系统的帮助。最近的研究方向包括让病人参与制定 FCC 战略、健康知识干预和采用远程医疗解决方案。

Systemic administration of corticosteroids is used in the treatment of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP). However, in patients with CEP as well as other comorbidities, the adverse effects of corticosteroids should be minimized as much as possible. A 71-year-old woman was presented with aggravating asthma with CEP and sinusitis, and she had uncompensated liver cirrhosis (LC) with a Child-Pugh score of 7. Initial treatment with a low dose of oral corticosteroids (OCSs) in combination with tezepelumab, an anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) antibody, resulted in rapid improvement of asthma and CEP without deteriorating LC. Sinusitis also improved after ceasing OCS. This case suggested that tezepelumab may be useful as a treatment option for patients with CEP, especially those with liver dysfunction.
全身应用皮质类固醇可用于治疗慢性嗜酸性粒细胞肺炎(CEP)。然而,对于患有 CEP 和其他合并症的患者,应尽可能减少皮质类固醇的不良反应。一名 71 岁的女性患者因哮喘加重伴有 CEP 和鼻窦炎而就诊,她患有未得到补偿的肝硬化(LC),Child-Pugh 评分为 7 分。最初她接受了小剂量口服皮质类固醇(OCSs)联合替塞单抗(一种抗胸腺基质淋巴细胞生成素(TSLP)抗体)治疗,结果哮喘和 CEP 迅速好转,而肝硬化却没有恶化。停止 OCS 后,鼻窦炎也得到了改善。该病例表明,替塞单抗可作为 CEP 患者(尤其是肝功能异常患者)的一种治疗选择。

Liver transplantation (LT) is one of the main curative treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Milan criteria has long been applied to candidate LT patients with HCC. However, the application of Milan criteria failed to precisely predict patients at risk of recurrence. As a result, we aimed to establish and validate a deep learning model comparing with Milan criteria and better guide post-LT treatment.A total of 356 HCC patients who received LT with complete follow-up data were evaluated. The entire cohort was randomly divided into training set (n = 286) and validation set (n = 70). Multi-layer-perceptron model provided by pycox library was first used to construct the recurrence prediction model. Then tabular neural network (TabNet) that combines elements of deep learning and tabular data processing techniques was utilized to compare with Milan criteria and verify the performance of the model we proposed.Patients with larger tumor size over 7 cm, poorer differentiation of tumor grade and multiple tumor numbers were first classified as high risk of recurrence. We trained a classification model with TabNet and our proposed model performed better than the Milan criteria in terms of accuracy (0.95 vs. 0.86, p < 0.05). In addition, our model showed better performance results with improved AUC, NRI and hazard ratio, proving the robustness of the model.A prognostic model had been proposed based on the use of TabNet on various parameters from HCC patients. The model performed well in post-LT recurrence prediction and the identification of high-risk subgroups.
肝移植(LT)是治疗肝细胞癌(HCC)的主要方法之一。长期以来,米兰标准一直被用于候选肝癌患者的肝移植。然而,应用米兰标准并不能准确预测有复发风险的患者。因此,我们旨在建立并验证一种与米兰标准相比较的深度学习模型,以更好地指导LT后的治疗。整个队列被随机分为训练集(n = 286)和验证集(n = 70)。首先使用 pycox 库提供的多层感知器模型构建复发预测模型。我们首先将肿瘤大小超过 7 厘米、肿瘤分化程度较差以及肿瘤数目较多的患者归类为高复发风险患者。我们用 TabNet 训练了一个分类模型,就准确率而言,我们提出的模型比米兰标准更好(0.95 对 0.86,P < 0.05)。此外,我们的模型在 AUC、NRI 和危险比方面的表现也更好,证明了模型的稳健性。该模型在 LT 后复发预测和高风险亚组识别方面表现良好。

The model performed well in post-LT recurrence prediction and the identification of high-risk subgroups.","PeriodicalId":502302,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Medicine","volume":"74 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141359643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
