Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the spine and peripheral joints, often leading to kyphosis, joint stiffness, and even ankylosis. Sagittal parameters, such as total thoracic kyphosis (TTK), thoracic kyphosis (TK), major thoracic kyphosis (MTK), and thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), are crucial indices for evaluating spinal alignment in AS patients and can reflect disease progression. This study aims to explore the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD), sagittal parameters, and joint ankylosis in AS patients.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant malignancy in men, particularly challenging in the metastatic stage due to poor prognosis and limited treatment efficacy. Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly Modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction (MSDD), has demonstrated promise in inhibiting PCa metastasis, although its mechanisms remain unclear.

Methods: The efficacy of MSDD was evaluated using migration assays and a nude mouse model.

Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high risk of poor outcomes. We aimed to compare the outcomes of lower extremity revascularization in patients with CLTI stratified by CKD severity in patients enrolled in the prospective, randomized Best Endovascular vs Best Surgical Therapy in Patients with CLTI (BEST-CLI) trial.

Methods: The BEST-CLI trial dataset was queried to categorize patients into three groups according to CKD stage.

CTCNet: a fine-grained classification network for fluorescence images of circulating tumor cells.

Med Biol Eng Comput

January 2025

Anhui BioX-Vision Biological Technology Co., Ltd, Hefei, 230031, Anhui, China.

The identification and categorization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood are imperative for advancing cancer diagnostics and prognostics. The intricacy of various CTCs subtypes, coupled with the difficulty in developing exhaustive datasets, has impeded progress in this specialized domain. To date, no methods have been dedicated exclusively to overcoming the classification challenges of CTCs.
