Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using non-mydriatic fundus photography combined with an AI system for screening diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with diabetes.
- 120 hospitalized diabetic patients had their retinal images analyzed either by AI or by an experienced ophthalmologist, with results compared to a standard diagnostic method (FFA).
- Findings indicated that both AI and human analysis showed similar diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity, suggesting the AI system could be a viable option for large-scale DR screening.
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) had been identified as a key pro-inflammatory cytokine in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) and the mechanism of antidepressant treatment. The primary aim of the present study was to examine the serum TNF-α levels in Chinese inpatients with MDD during the acute phase and to explore the changes in TNF-α levels after effective clinical treatment. Fifty-seven consecutive inpatients with MDD and 30 healthy controls were recruited.

PLT-based models have been reported to have significant value on the recurrence of malignant hepatic tumors. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of PLT count and 18 PLT-based models on the prognosis of patients with malignant hepatic tumors.

It is unclear whether the recurrence of cholecystolithiasis is due to the limitations of the operation itself or to the selection of inappropriate candidates.
Aim: To analyze the recurrence of cholecystolithiasis after choledochoscopic gallbladder-preserving surgery and to provide guidance for the treatment of cholecystolithiasis by choledochoscopic gallbladder-preserving surgery.
Purpose: To investigate the prognostic value of 17 platelet-based prognostic scores in patients with malignant hepatic tumors after TACE therapy.
Methods: In total, 92 patients were divided into death group and survival group according to long-term follow-up results. The AUC was calculated to determine the optimal cut-off values for predicting prognosis.
