    Abstract: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is now an established, safe, and effective treatment for adults with depression. However, specific research in rTMS for use in elderly patients with acute depression is scarce. Objective The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of add-on rTMS in a clinical sample of older adults experiencing an acute phase of depression. Method This study examined 114 patients (54 elderly [aged ≥60] and 60 adults [aged 18–59] ) with acute depression who were drug free at baseline. They were treated with at least 10 sessions of rTMS for 4 weeks along with 1 antidepressant. Symptoms of depression were measured using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression at baseline and after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. Clinical improvement and rates of response and remission were compared across groups. Results Significant improvement was noted after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment in both adult and elderly groups. Higher remission rates were found in adult patients but with no differences in response. The stimulation intensity and course of illness were significant predictors of remission after 4 weeks of rTMS treatment in the elderly. Conclusions The add-on rTMS treatment for elderly depression patients is promising with respect to safety and feasibility. This preliminary evidence supports the application of rTMS to this group during acute episodes.

    Abstract: To investigate the mid-term local treatment efficiency of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for uterine fibroids (UFs) and the associated influencing factors. Methods: From July 2020 to October 2021, a total of 28 patients with 52 UFs who had undergone ultrasound-guided MWA were retrospectively included in this study. Pre-treatment clinical characteristics, conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) features were analyzed to explore their correlation with volume reduction ratios (VRRs) of sufficient ablation (i.e. a VRR of at least 50% at the 3 month follow-up). The patients were assessed at 1-, 3-, 6 month follow-up after MWA treatment and the assessment included VRR, adverse events, uterine fibroid symptom (UFS) and quality of life (QoL) scores, and clinical symptoms. Results: The procedures of percutaneous MWA for UFs were tolerated well and no major complications occurred in all patients. At the 1-, 3-, 6 month follow-up, the median VRRs of UFs were 30.1%, 46.9%, and 65.8%, respectively. At the 3 month follow-up, 44.4% of fibroids obtained sufficient ablation while the remaining 55.6% obtained partial ablation (i.e. a VRR of 〈 50%). Non-enhancing area during the early phase (i.e. within 30 s after injecting contrast agent) on pre-treatment CEUS was present in 22.2% UFs, which was associated with sufficient ablation at the 3 month follow-up (p 〈 0.05). In addition, the relevant clinical symptoms of all patients were alleviated or removed. The UFS and QoL score after MWA decreased significantly in comparison with those after MWA (p = 0.04 and p = 0.057, respectively), indicating a remarkable improvement of clinical symptom and QoL. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided MWA is an effective and safe method to treat patients with UFs. Non-enhancing area during the early phase on pretreatment CEUS is associated with mid-term local treatment efficiency, which might be used to predict treatment outcome. Advances in knowledge: Non-enhancing area during the early phase on pretreatment CEUS is an important factor associated with mid-term local treatment efficiency. This is the first study finding that CEUS feature can be used as a marker for the prediction of mid-term local treatment response.

    Abstract: Optimal bowel preparation is a prerequisite for a successful colonoscopy; however, the rate of inadequate bowel preparation remains relatively high. In this study, we establish a smartphone app that assesses patient bowel preparation using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based prediction system trained on labeled photographs of feces in the toilet and evaluate its impact on bowel preparation quality in colonoscopy outpatients. We conduct a prospective, single-masked, multicenter randomized clinical trial, enrolling outpatients who own a smartphone and are scheduled for a colonoscopy. We screen 578 eligible patients and randomize 524 in a 1:1 ratio to the control or AI-driven app group for bowel preparation. The study endpoints are the percentage of patients with adequate bowel preparation and the total BBPS score, compliance with dietary restrictions and purgative instructions, polyp detection rate, and adenoma detection rate (secondary). The prediction system has an accuracy of 95.15%, a specificity of 97.25%, and an area under the curve of 0.98 in the test dataset. In the full analysis set ( n  = 500), adequate preparation is significantly higher in the AI-driven app group (88.54 vs. 65.59%; P   〈  0.001). The mean BBPS score is 6.74 ± 1.25 in the AI-driven app group and 5.97 ± 1.81 in the control group ( P   〈  0.001). The rates of compliance with dietary restrictions (93.68 vs. 83.81%, P  = 0.001) and purgative instructions (96.05 vs. 84.62%, P   〈  0.001) are significantly higher in the AI-driven app group, as is the rate of additional purgative intake (26.88 vs. 17.41%, P  = 0.011). Thus, our AI-driven smartphone app significantly improves the quality of bowel preparation and patient compliance.

    Abstract: A 33 years’ old male complained of excessive salivation with frequent swallowing and spitting, which resulted in communication disturbance, reduced quality of life, and social embarrassment for 19 years. He had been diagnosed as sialorrhea and submandibular gland hyperfunction by stomatologist, then had unilateral submandibular gland resection 13 years ago, but the symptom relief was not satisfactory. After that, he had been treated with glycopyrrolate for less than a year, which was withdrawn because of the short duration of symptomatic control after each tablet take-in and intolerable side effects. With the wish to receive a new treatment with long term effectiveness, low re-operation risk and normal preserved saliva secretion function, the patient was subject to MWA for the right submandibular gland. After systematic clinical evaluation, US-guided percutaneous MWA was successfully performed with an uneventful post-operative course. The volume of the right submandibular gland and ablated area were measured precisely by an ablation planning software system with automatic volume measurement function based on three-dimensional reconstruction of the pre-operative and post-operative enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) raw data. Finally, the ablated volume was calculated as 62.2% of the whole right submandibular gland. The patient was discharged 1 day after the operation, with symptoms relieved significantly, the mean value of whole saliva flow rate (SFR) decreased from 11 ml to 7.5 ml per 15 minutes. During the follow up by phone three months after operation, the patient reported that the treatment effect was satisfactory, whereas the SFR value became stable as 7 ml per 15 minutes, drooling frequency and drooling severity (DFDS) score decreased from 6 to 5, drooling impact scale (DIS) score decreased from 43 to 26. US-guided percutaneous MWA of submandibular gland seems to be an alternative, minimal invasive, and effective treatment for refractory sialorrhea. We described a patient with refractory sialorrhea treated successfully with ultrasound (US) guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA).

    Abstract: Biliary cystadenocarcinoma (BCAC) is an extremely rare intrahepatic cystic tumor. Patients usually present with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and abdominal mass. This tumor occurs most commonly in the left hemiliver and is thought to mainly develop from a benign biliary cystadenoma (BCA). At present, the disease is mainly diagnosed by ultrasound, CT, MR, and other imaging methods, and the main treatment is radical surgical resection. We reported a 75-year-old female with an unresectable huge BCAC (i.e., 161×145×122 mm in three orthogonal directions) and poor general condition (40 in Karnofsky Performance Status, KPS) who received sequential thermal ablation (i.e., cryoablation and microwave ablation) in combination with sclerotherapy using lauromacrogol. The diagnosis of intrahepatic BCAC was confirmed pathologically. Preablation grayscale US showed the BCAC with a clear boundary, regular shape, and cystic-solid mixed echogenicity, which appeared as a huge multilocular cystic lesions with thick internal sepatations. Preablation contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) showed honeycomb-like hyper-enhancement of the thick internal sepatations and cystic wall in the arterial and portal phase, and sustained enhancement of the thick internal sepatations and cystic wall in the late phase. 6-month postablation CEUS showed non-enhancement in most parts of the lesion in the arterial phase and 6-month postablation MRI showed the volume reduction ratio (VRR) was about 70%. The abdominal pain and abdominal distension were relieved remarkably, and her quality of life was greatly improved (70 in KPS). In conclusion, sequential thermal ablation in combination with sclerotherapy provides a successful translative therapy for this unresectable huge BCAC with a poor general condition, which makes subsequent curative surgery or ablation possible.

    In: The British Journal of Radiology, British Institute of Radiology
    Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) for treating adenomyosis in the posterior uterine wall. Methods: Thirty-six patients with symptomatic adenomyosis in the posterior uterine wall who had been subjected to PMWA were retrospectively enrolled in this study. 20 patients who had no ideal transabdominal puncture path due to the retroverted or retroflexed uterine position were treated with PMWA combined with Yu’s uteropexy (Group 1). The other 16 patients were treated with PMWA only (Group 2). The non-perfused volume (NPV) ratio, symptomatic relief rate, recurrence rate, changes in clinical symptom scores, economic cost, and complications were compared. Results: The mean NPV ratio for the 36 patients was 90.2±18.3%, and the percentage of patients who obtained complete relief of dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia was 81.3% (26/32), and 69.6% (16/23) respectively. The recurrence rate was 11.1% (4/36). No major complication was observed. Minor complications included lower abdominal pain, fever, vaginal discharge, nausea, and/or vomiting after ablation, with incidences of 55.6%, 41.7%, 47.2%, and 19.4% respectively. Subgroup analysis showed no significant difference in the median value of NPV ratio, symptomatic relief rate of dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia, changes in clinical symptom scores, recurrence rate and economic cost between the two groups (all p 〉 0.05). Conclusion: PMWA is an effective and safe treatment for adenomyosis in the posterior uterine wall. Advances in knowledge: This study focused on the ultrasound-guided PMWA treatment for adenomyosis in the posterior uterine wall. Yu’s uteropexy, a new ancillary technique allowing safe PMWA for deep posterior uterine wall lesions in retroverted uterus, expanded the indications of PMWA for symptomatic adenomyosis.

    Abstract: The characteristics of distribution of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with agranulocytosis and fever in 12 hospitals in Shanghai from 2012 to 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. WHONET 5.6 software was used to analyze the results of drug sensitivity test. Data from different diseases, different sample sources, and drug sensitivity tests were statistically analyzed to investigate the clinical distribution characteristics and drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with agranulocytosis and fever in Shanghai, China. This study revealed that, among these 109 strains of P. aeruginosa, they were mainly found in patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML; 48 strains, 44.04%) and patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL; 36 strains, 33.03%). The specimen sources were mainly respiratory tract secretions (58 strains, 53.21%) and blood (21 strains, 19.26%). The P. aeruginosa isolates from neutropenic sepsis patients showed high sensitivity to the following antibiotics: piperacillin/tazobactam, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, and amikacin with 91.1%, 89%, 89%, 87.9%, and 85.7% of isolates being sensitive, respectively. Furthermore, for P. aeruginosa isolates from the AML group of patients, the lowest antibiotic resistance rates were seen for ciprofloxacin (0%), cefoperazone/sulbactam (2.1%), and cefepime (7.1%), while for the ALL group the lowest antibiotic resistance rates were seen for piperacillin (2.8%), ceftazidime (2.8%), and cefepime (2.8%). Isolates from AML patients (21.3%) were significantly more likely to be piperacillin resistant than those from the ALL patients (2.8%). Therefore, P. aeruginosa infection is relatively common in patients with agranulocytosis and fever. The strains had a certain degree of resistance to commonly used antibiotics.
