    Abstract Brain tumor is one of the most aggressive cancers in the world, accurate brain tumor segmentation plays a critical role in clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Although deep learning models have presented remarkable success in medical segmentation, they can only obtain the segmentation map without capturing the segmentation uncertainty. To achieve accurate and safe clinical results, it is necessary to produce extra uncertainty maps to assist the subsequent segmentation revision. To this end, we propose to exploit the uncertainty quantification in the deep learning model and apply it to multi-modal brain tumor segmentation. In addition, we develop an effective attention-aware multi-modal fusion method to learn the complimentary feature information from the multiple MR modalities. First, a multi-encoder-based 3D U-Net is proposed to obtain the initial segmentation results. Then, an estimated Bayesian model is presented to measure the uncertainty of the initial segmentation results. Finally, the obtained uncertainty maps are integrated into a deep learning-based segmentation network, serving as an additional constraint information to further refine the segmentation results. The proposed network is evaluated on publicly available BraTS 2018 and BraTS 2019 datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the previous state-of-the-art methods on Dice score, Hausdorff distance and Sensitivity metrics. Furthermore, the proposed components could be easily applied to other network architectures and other computer vision fields.

    Abstract Objective·To investigate the influence of intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion on the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rate of patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.Methods·A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent breast cancer surgery at the Breast Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from July 2013 to June 2014. Patients were divided into dexmedetomidine group and control group according to whether dexmedetomidine was injected intraoperatively at 0.7‒0.8 ìg/kg. After correcting the confounding factors between the two groups by using the propensity score matching method, the factors affecting the prognosis and survival of patients undertaking breast cancer surgery were investigated by univariate and multivariate analysis, and the Kaplan-Meier survival curve was further used to analyze the effect of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on RFS and OS after five years of breast cancer surgery.Results·There were significant differences in age, progesterone receptor (PR) positive ratio, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Ki67) expression score, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, and anesthesia duration between the two groups before propensity score matching. After propensity score matching, a total of 239 pairs were successfully matched, and there was no significant difference in baseline data and perioperative data between the two groups (P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that age (P=0.032), postoperative radiotherapy (P=0.041), Ki67 score (P=0.021), and tumor TMN stage (P=0.029) were significantly correlated with postoperative five-year OS. The results of multivariate analysis showed that postoperative radiotherapy, Ki67 score, and tumor TMN stage were significantly correlated with postoperative five-year OS (P<0.05). Intraoperative low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion was not a risk factor for postoperative five-year OS (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the ...

    Abstract Background: Patients with thalamic infarction experience abnormal blockages of multinucleated vessels, affecting the body and thereby the thalamus. Most patients with thalamic infarction have an adverse prognosis, which seriously affects their safety. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the independent risk factors that influence the prognosis of patients with thalamic infarction and develop corresponding preventive measures.
    Aim: To explore the effect of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and Homocysteine (Hcy) levels in cognitive impairment in thalamic infarction.
    Methods: From March 2019 to March 2022, 80 patients with thalamic infarction were divided into a group with cognitive impairment [Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score < 26; 35 patients] and a group with normal cognitive function (MoCA score of 26-30; 45 patients) according to the MoCA score. In addition, 50 healthy people in the same period were selected as the control group. A correlation between the non-HDL-C and Hcy levels and the MoCA score and receiver operating characteristic curve was observed, and the serum non-HDL-C and Hcy levels were analyzed for the diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients with thalamic infarction. According to the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) score, 80 patients with thalamic infarction were divided into a good prognosis group (MRS score ≤ 2) and a poor prognosis group (MRS score >2).
    Results: The non-HDL-C and Hcy levels were significantly higher in the group with cognitive impairment than in the group with normal cognitive function (
    Conclusion: Non-HDL-C and Hcy levels are positively correlated with cognitive impairment in patients with thalamic infarction. Non-HDL-C and Hcy levels can be used in the diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients with thalamic infarction, and the combined detection effect is better. The main factors affecting the prognosis of patients with thalamic infarction are the non-HDL-C level, the Hcy level, the NIHSS score, large-area cerebral infarction, and atrial fibrillation. Clinically, corresponding preventive measures can be formulated based on the above factors to prevent poor prognosis and reduce mortality.

    Abstract Aims: The aim of this study is to explore the anti-depressant mechanism of Chaihu- Shugan San based on serum medicinal chemistry and network pharmacology methods.
    Background: Depression lacks effective treatments, with current anti-depressants ineffective in 40% of patients. Chaihu-Shugan San (CHSGS) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine compound to treat depression. However, the chemical components and the underlying mechanisms targeting the liver and brain in the anti-depressant effects of CHSGS need to be elucidated.
    Methods: The chemical components of CHSGS in most current network pharmacology studies are screened from TCMSP and TCMID databases. In this study, we investigated the mechanism and material basis of soothing the liver and relieving depression in the treatment of depression by CHSGS based on serum pharmacochemistry. The anti-depressant mechanism of CHSGS was further verified by proteomics and high-throughput data.
    Results: Through serum medicinal chemistry, we obtained 9 bioactive substances of CHSGS. These ingredients have good human oral bioavailability and are non-toxic. Based on liver ChIPseq data, CHSGS acts on 8 targets specifically localized in the liver, such as FGA, FGB, and FGG. The main contributors to CHSGS soothing the liver qi targets are hesperetin, nobiletin, ferulic acid, naringin and albiflorin. In addition, network pharmacology analysis identified 9 blood components of CHSGS that corresponded to 63 anti-depressant targets in the brain. Among them, nobiletin has the largest number of anti-depressant targets, followed by glycyrrhizic acid, ferulic acid, albiflorin and hesperetin. We also validated the anti-depressant mechanism of CHSGS based on hippocampal proteomics. CHSGS exerts anti-depressant effects on synaptic structure and neuronal function by targeting multiple synapse related proteins.
    Conclusion: This study not only provides a theoretical basis for further expanding the clinical application of CHSGS, but also provides a series of potential lead compounds for the development of depression drugs.

    Abstract Plastic surgeons charged with reconstructing extensive perioral defects face dual challenges of functional restoration and esthetic considerations. While forehead flaps are commonly used to reconstruct perioral defects, in cases involving partial upper lip defects where normal anatomical structures are preserved, traditional forehead flaps may compromise esthetics. This study aimed to address this issue by employing bipedicled preexpanded forehead flaps based on the frontal branches of the superficial temporal artery (hereafter, "STA-bfb-based preexpanded forehead flap") with random flap extensions to repair perioral defects. Between April 2004 and July 2020, 7 patients (5 males and 2 females; 6 had post-burn facial scars involving the entire lower lip and part of the upper lip, and 1 presented with noma sequelae) underwent perioral defect reconstruction using this approach. Tissue expanders were placed in the forehead donor area, and an STA-bfb-based preexpanded forehead flap with random flap extensions was used to repair the perioral defect. The flap pedicle was divided into 3 weeks. All flaps remained viable with no perfusion-related complications. At follow-up 12 to 96 months later, the color and texture of the flaps demonstrated excellent compatibility with the surrounding skin, suggesting that the use of an STA-bfb-based preexpanded forehead flap with random skin flap extensions is a reliable method for repairing perioral defects. The authors' results have implications for plastic surgeons seeking a solution for challenging perioral defect reconstructions, balancing the need for esthetic outcomes with functional restoration.
