Effect of HBeAg/anti-HBe coexistence on HBeAg seroconversion in treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B patients with peginterferon-α by Kaimin Song, Huitong Wang, Dawu Zeng, Yunyun Qian, Zhixiang Guo, Huatang Zhang, Yijuan Zheng, Yongjun Zhou, Xueping Yu, Zhijun Su

“…As revealed by multivariate logistic analysis, HBeAg/anti-HBe coexistence, baseline HBsAg, baseline HBeAg, and alanine aminotransferase ratio at baseline were independent correlates of HBeAg seroconversion. The nomogram model constructed based on these four independent correlates demonstrated good discrimination (area under the curve = 0.866), calibration, and clinical adaptability. …”

A sarcopenia prediction model based on the calf maximum muscle circumference measured by ultrasound by An Wei, Yan Zou, Zhen-Hua Tang, Feng Guo, Yan Zhou

“…The prediction performance of the models was assessed using sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) and compared with independent predictors. Results We found that patient age, albumin level (ALB), brachioradialis muscle thickness (BRMT), gastrocnemius lateral head muscle thickness (Glh MT), and calf maximum muscle circumference (CMMC) were independent predictors of sarcopenia in hospitalized older patients. …”

Inhibition and evasion of neutrophil microbicidal responses by Legionella longbeachae by Hannah E. Hanford, Christopher T. D. Price, Silvia Uriarte, Yousef Abu Kwaik

“…First, L. longbeachae excludes the cytosolic and membrane-bound subunits of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex from its phagosomal membrane independent of the type 4 secretion system (T4SS). Consequently, infected neutrophils fail to generate robust ROS in response to L. longbeachae. …”

Compensating CBCT Motion Artifacts with Any 2D Generative Model by Yipeng Sun, Linda-Sophie Schneider, Mingxuan Gu, Siyuan Mei, Siming Bayer, Andreas K. Maier

“…Our approach integrates a 2D generative model for artifact reduction with a structure-aware regularization strategy, specifically employing a gradient-based smoothness constraint along the through-plane direction to maintain smooth transitions between slices and preserve the overall 3D structure. This model-independent framework accommodates various 2D architectures while effectively addressing the limitations of treating 3D volumes as independent 2D slices. …”
