Published: December 2024

IntroductionAccurate image segmentation is crucial in medical imaging for quantifying diseases, assessing prognosis, and evaluating treatment outcomes. However, existing methods often fall short in integrating global and local features in a meaningful way, failing to give sufficient attention to abnormal regions and boundary details in medical images. These limitations hinder the effectiveness of segmentation techniques in clinical settings. To address these issues, we propose a novel deep learning-based approach, MIPC-Net, designed for precise boundary segmentation in medical images.MethodsOur approach, inspired by radiologists' working patterns, introduces two distinct modules: 1. Mutual Inclusion of Position and Channel Attention (MIPC) Module: To improve boundary segmentation precision, we present the MIPC module. This module enhances the focus on channel information while extracting position features and vice versa, effectively enhancing the segmentation of boundaries in medical images. 2. Skip-Residue Module: To optimize the restoration of medical images, we introduce Skip-Residue, a global residual connection. This module improves the integration of the encoder and decoder by filtering out irrelevant information and recovering the most crucial information lost during the feature extraction process.ResultsWe evaluate the performance of MIPC-Net on three publicly accessible datasets: Synapse, ISIC2018-Task, and Segpc. The evaluation uses metrics such as the Dice coefficient (DSC) and Hausdorff Distance (HD). Our ablation study confirms that each module contributes to the overall improvement of segmentation quality. Notably, with the integration of both modules, our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods across all metrics. Specifically, MIPC-Net achieves a 2.23 mm reduction in Hausdorff Distance on the Synapse dataset, highlighting the model's enhanced capability for precise image boundary segmentation.ConclusionThe introduction of the novel MIPC and Skip-Residue modules significantly improves feature extraction accuracy, leading to better boundary recognition in medical image segmentation tasks. Our approach demonstrates substantial improvements over existing methods, as evidenced by the results on benchmark datasets.

Published: December 2024

IntroductionIn a world where one in four individuals lacks assured access to water, this article investigates how the experiences of Traditional Peoples and Communities (TPCs) can serve as a guiding light in the search for solutions to water disparities, exacerbated by global warming. The study focuses on the microterritory known as Carapitanga in Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the presence of indigenous, quilombola and caiçara communities highlights the significance of territorially-based and nature-focused solutions.MethodsThe research utilises the Ecology of Knowledge and Action Research as methodological pillars to investigate the Water Culture of TPCs and its impact on the Hydrosocial Cycle.ResultsThe study reveals that the Water Culture of TPCs stimulates actions that propel balance in the Hydrosocial Cycle. This knowledge casts new light on the governance of water and sanitation.DiscussionThe findings offer alternatives anchored in the concept of Buen Vivir and the recognition of water as a fundamental source of life for cities worldwide. This not only contributes to the understanding of water resource management but also presents potential solutions for global water access disparities.

Published: December 2024

IntroductionCAR-T cell therapy is associated with life-threatening inflammatory toxicities, partly due to the activation and secretion of inflammatory cytokines by bystander myeloid cells (BMCs). However, due to limited clinical data, it is unclear whether CAR-NK cells cause similar toxicities.MethodsWe characterized the soluble factors (SFs) released by activated human CAR-T and CAR-NK cells and assessed their role in BMC activation (BMCA).ResultsWe found that SFs from both activated, peripheral blood-derived CAR-T (PB-CAR-T) and CAR-NK (PB-CAR-NK) cells induced BMCA; however, PB-CAR-NK cells caused significantly lower BMCA compared to PB-CAR-T cells. Interestingly, SFs from cord-blood-derived (CB) NK cells caused little to no BMCA, consistent with previous clinical studies showing minimal inflammatory toxicity with CB-CAR-NK cells. Comparative analysis of SFs released by PB-NK and PB-CAR-NK cells following CAR-dependent and CAR-independent activation revealed several candidate factors with the potential to cause BMCA. Antibody-mediated neutralization studies identified a combination of four factors that contribute to PB-CAR-NK cell-mediated BMCA. siRNA-mediated knockdown studies confirmed that inactivating these four factors in PB-CAR-NK cells significantly reduces BMCA. Importantly, neutralization or knockdown of these four factors did not affect CAR-NK cell potency.DiscussionThese data suggest that specific SFs released by PB-CAR-NK cells activate BMCs and have the potential to contribute to inflammatory toxicities. Furthermore, inactivation of these four factors in PB-CAR-NK cells could reduce inflammatory toxicities and improve safety of PB-CAR-NK cell therapy without compromising potency.

IntroductionIn order to explore the impact of climate factors on bigeye tuna catch, monthly data of nine climate factors, including El Niño-related indices (Niño1 + 2, Niño3, Niño4, and Niño3.4), Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), North Pacific Index (NPI), and global sea–air temperature anomaly index (dT), were combined with the annual data of global bigeye tuna catch.MethodsThe relationship between low-frequency climate factors and bigeye tuna catch was studied using long short-term memory(LSTM) model, random forest (RF) model, BP neural network model, extreme gradient boosting tree (XGBoost) model, and Sparrow search optimization algorithm extreme gradient boosting tree (SSA-XGBoost) model.ResultsThe results show that the optimal lag periods corresponding to the climate change characterization factors Niño1 + 2, dT, SOI, NPI, NAO, and PDO are 15 years,12 years, 12 years, 1 year, 14 years, and 4 years, respectively. The SSA-XGBoost model have the highest prediction accuracy, followed by XGBoost, BP, LSTM, and RF. The fitting degree between the predicted values and the actual values of the SSA-XGBoost model is 0.853, the mean absolute error is 0.104, the root mean square error is 0.124.DiscussionThe trend between the predicted values and the actual values of the SSA-XGBoost model is generally consistent, indicating good model fitting performance, which can provide a basis for the management of bigeye tuna fisheries.

Published: December 2024

ObjectivesTo investigate the effect of diffusivity metrics of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) in the assessment of treatment effects.MethodsMR-DTI examination for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients and the diffusivity metrics of the trigeminal ganglion (TG) were analyzed. Before and after the percutaneous stereotactic radiofrequency rhizotomy (PSR) operation, the treatment effect was assessed using pain scores and MR-DTI. The correlation between the diffusivity metrics of cranial nerve five (CNV) and visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores before and after treatment in TN patients was explored.ResultsIn PSR patients, the fractional anisotropy (FA) of the affected TG is a significantly lower than that of the unaffected side (p &lt; 0.01). After PSR, the diffusivity metrics on the bilateral TGs are not significantly different (p &gt; 0.05). Following PSR treatment, both of the diffusivity metrics (FA) in the lowest area of the CNV and the VAS scores of TN patients show changes. Furthermore, diffusivity metric (FA) on the lowest area of the CNV preoperative is significantly negatively correlated with the VAS scores (p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionMR-DTI is capable of investigating the longitudinal changes of FA before and after radiofrequency treatment, and diffusivity metrics could be an independent reliable efficacy indicator for TN.SignificanceThe alteration of the diffusivity on TG may be correlated with the effect of radiofrequency treatment.

BackgroundThe Montreal Cognitive assessment (MoCA) is a well-validated global cognitive screening instrument. Its validity in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) has not been assessed.ObjectivesTo evaluate the MoCA as an outcome measure in PSP clinical trials.MethodsCognitive data from 162 participants in the placebo arm of the Biogen PASSPORT study (NCT03068468) were analyzed using linear mixed-effects modeling (LMM) and repeated measures correlation.ResultsThere was a significant decline in the MoCA score over time of −1.4 (95% CI −0.84 to −1.97) points over a 48-week period (p &lt; 0.0001). Small but significant changes (p &lt; 0.01) were observed in all MoCA domains except abstraction. The MoCA correlated weakly with the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) over time (rrm = 0.1, p = 0.02) but exhibited a stronger correlation with the PSP Rating Scale (PSPRS) (rrm = −0.25, p &lt; 0.0001).ConclusionThe MoCA appears to have limited sensitivity in capturing cognitive decline in PSP.

Published: December 2024

BackgroundNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are both closely related to dyslipidemia. However, the relationship between dyslipidemia in patients with NAFLD and CKD is not yet clear. The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) is an innovative and comprehensive lipid index. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between NHHR and CKD risk in NAFLD patients with or without fibrosis.MethodsThis study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2017 to 2020 for analysis, including a total of 4,041 subjects diagnosed with NAFLD. Among the NAFLD subjects, 3,315 individuals without liver fibrosis and 726 individuals with fibrosis. Weighted multivariate linear regression, weighted logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves, and subgroup analysis were used to evaluate the correlation between NHHR and CKD in patients with NAFLD.ResultsOur findings indicate that in NAFLD subjects without liver fibrosis, the highest tertile of NHHR, as compared to the lowest tertile, was inversely related to glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (β: −2.14, 95% CI: −3.97, −0.32, p &lt; 0.05) and positively related to CKD (OR: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.12, 2.49, p &lt; 0.05). No significant associations were observed between NHHR and eGFR, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) in NAFLD subjects with liver fibrosis. The RCS revealed a linear relationship between NHHR and ACR, CKD in NAFLD subjects without liver fibrosis, while a U-shaped relationship was observed between NHHR and ACR, CKD in NAFLD subjects with liver fibrosis.ConclusionIn patients with non-fibrotic NAFLD, a significantly elevated NHHR is closely associated with an increased risk of CKD and shows a linear relationship with CKD. In patients with fibrotic NAFLD, NHHR shows a U-shaped relationship with CKD. LD, Our findings underscore the practical utility of NHHR as a biomarker for early risk stratification of CKD in patients with NAFLD.

Authors: Sun Ying , Yang Guanghui , Sun Ruijie , Cao Fangli 
Published: December 2024

BackgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab are recommended as first-line therapies for recurrent and metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, their efficacy in neoadjuvant therapy remains uncertain.Case presentationWe report the case of a 68-year-old male diagnosed with HNSCC who received neoadjuvant nivolumab (anti-PD-1 inhibitor) plus nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin. Biomarkerswere assessed by immunohistochemistry, and apoptosis-related molecules were analyzed via Western blotting. The patient achieved significant tumor regression and major pathological response (MPR) without severe adverse events. Post-treatment analyses revealed PD-L1 expression increased from 30% to 50% in tumor cells, CD8+ lymphocyte infiltration significantly improved, and Ki-67 expression was markedly reduced.ConclusionsThis case highlights the potential of combining ICIs with chemotherapy in neoadjuvant settings for HNSCC, providing mechanistic insights and clinical evidence for this emerging approach. Further studies are needed to establish the optimal neoadjuvant treatment regimen and identify patient populations most likely to benefit.
