Genetic Testing Technology Assisting in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Suppurative Arthritis and Extensive Migratory Skin and Soft Tissue Infections Caused by Disseminated Staphylococcus aureus Disease: A Case Report and Review.

infection is readily disseminated, yet the multiple septic arthritis and extensive migratory skin and soft tissue infections it causes are uncommon and challenging to treat. The infection can be life-threatening, with a mortality rate of 15-31%. Early, targeted antibiotic therapy is critical to improve prognosis.

DCDiff: Dual-Granularity Cooperative Diffusion Models for Pathology Image Analysis.

Whole Slide Images (WSIs) are paramount in the medical field, with extensive applications in disease diagnosis and treatment. Recently, many deep-learning methods have been used to classify WSIs. However, these methods are inadequate for accurately analyzing WSIs as they treat regions in WSIs as isolated entities and ignore contextual information.

Advancing the Boundary of Pre-trained Models for Drug Discovery: Interpretable Fine-Tuning Empowered by Molecular Physicochemical Properties.

In the field of drug discovery, a proliferation of pre-trained models has surfaced, exhibiting exceptional performance across a variety of tasks. However, the extensive size of these models, coupled with the limited interpretative capabilities of current fine-tuning methods, impedes the integration of pre-trained models into the drug discovery process. This paper pushes the boundaries of pre-trained models in drug discovery by designing a novel fine-tuning paradigm known as the Head Feature Parallel Adapter (HFPA), which is highly interpretable, high-performing, and has fewer parameters than other widely used methods.

AI-powered interpretable imaging phenotypes noninvasively characterize tumor microenvironment associated with diverse molecular signatures and survival in breast cancer.

Background And Objectives: Tumor microenvironment (TME) is a determining factor in decision-making and personalized treatment for breast cancer, which is highly intra-tumor heterogeneous (ITH). However, the noninvasive imaging phenotypes of TME are poorly understood, even invasive genotypes have been largely known in breast cancer.

Methods: Here, we develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven approach for noninvasively characterizing TME by integrating the predictive power of deep learning with the explainability of human-interpretable imaging phenotypes (IMPs) derived from 4D dynamic imaging (DCE-MRI) of 342 breast tumors linked to genomic and clinical data, which connect cancer phenotypes to genotypes.

An innovative and convenient technique to reduce anastomotic leakage after double stapling anastomosis: laparoscopic demucositized suture the overlapping point of the "dog ear" area.

Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a major cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality in the treatment of colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate an innovative and convenient technique of laparoscopic demucositized suture the overlapping point of the "dog ear" area after the double stapling anastomosis (lds-DSA), as an improved alternative for conventional DSA, and whether it could reduce the AL rate in laparoscopic anterior resection (Lapa-AR). Between January 2018 and December 2020, a total of 245 patients who underwent Lapa-AR for the treatment of adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon or rectal cancer were divided into the lsd-DSA group (n = 99) and the DSA group (n = 146).

Copper-Catalyzed Bromo-cyanomethylative Cyclization of Enynes.

A copper-catalyzed bromo-cyanomethylative cyclization of 1,6-enynes is demonstrated. The treatment of 2-bromoacetonitrile with CuI enables the alkyl radical generation and triggers the radical addition/cyclization/bromination sequence, giving various vinyl C-Br bonds containing functionalized heterocycles in good yields.

Regional lymph nodes distribution pattern in central area of right-sided colon cancer: in-vivo detection and the update on the clinical exploration.

Distribution of regional lymph nodes (LNs) is decisive for the lymphadenectomy boundary in radical resection of right-sided colon cancer (RCC). Currently, the data of LNs in central area remains ambiguous and scarce. Herein we aim to provide a more detailed anatomical research on LNs surrounding the superior mesenteric vessels for RCC and investigated the metastasis rate.

Superhydrophobic Methylated Silica Sol for Effective Oil-Water Separation.

Superhydrophobic methylated silica with a core-shell structure was successfully fabricated by a sol-gel process. First, a pristine silica gel with an average particle size of ca. 110 nm was prepared, using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as a precursor, ethanol as a solvent, and NHOH as a catalyst.

[Criminal fold priority separating reduces splenic injury in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy].

Objective: To explore the value of criminal fold priority separating (CFPS) in reduction of iatrogenic splenic injury in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Methods: Complete videos of 270 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine were reviewed. Anatomic features of criminal fold (CF) were summarized.
