Article Abstract

Background: The Hepatic Steatosis Index (HSI) is a simple screening tool for adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). While lipid and glucose metabolism are closely interrelated, few studies have examined the association between HSI and impaired fasting glucose (IFG). This study aims to investigate the relationship between HSI and IFG risk in a large Chinese cohort.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed health examination data collected from 2010 to 2016 across 11 cities in China by the Rich Healthcare Group. Multivariable Cox regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were used to evaluate the association between baseline HSI and IFG. Subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the findings.

Results: A total of 75,911 participants with a mean age of 40.9 ± 12.1 years were included, among whom 9,908 (13.1%) developed IFG. After adjusting for potential confounders, each one-unit increase in baseline HSI was associated with a 5% higher risk of IFG (HR=1.05, 95%CI). RCS analysis revealed that the increase of risk plateaued when HSI exceeded 35.31. Subgroup analyses demonstrated the stability of these findings.

Conclusion: Elevated baseline HSI is a significant risk factor for IFG in Chinese adults. These findings highlight the potential utility of HSI in identifying individuals at risk of glucose dysregulation.

Introducing hyperspectral imaging as a novel tool for assessing donor liver quality during machine perfusion: A case report.

World J Transplant

September 2025

Division of General, Visceral and Transplantation Surgery, Department of Surgery, Medical University of Graz, Graz 8036, Steiermark, Austria.

Background: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) offers useful information on organ quality and has already been successfully used in kidney and liver transplantation to assess transplanted organs. Up to now, there is no case report in the literature describing HSI for quality assessment of a machine perfused donor liver. The allocated liver from a 49-year-old female donor (161 cm, 70 kg) was perfused with the OrganOx normothermic machine perfusion system in the recommended way.

Refining swarm behaviors with human-swarm interaction strategies: An improved monkey algorithm for multidimensional optimization problems.

Sci Rep

August 2025

National Center for Transportation Infrastructure Durability and Life-Extension (TriDurLE), Washington State University, Pullman, WA, 99164-2910, USA.

This study introduces human-swarm interaction (HSI) strategies to enhance bio-inspired swarm intelligence (SI) algorithms, addressing inherent limitations of the traditional monkey algorithm (MA) such as premature convergence and computational inefficiency in complex search spaces. We propose three HSI integration strategies involving intermittent, persistent, and parameter-setting interactions within the HSI to augment emergent behaviors and refine the MA's intrinsic optimization mechanisms. Validation through seven benchmark functions (one unimodal and six multimodal) across seven dimensions demonstrates the HSI-MA's ability to resolve complex, multidimensional optimization problems with statistically significant (p < 0.

Hyperspectral Imaging Accurately Detects Renal Malperfusion Due to High Intrarenal Pressure.

Eur Urol Open Sci

August 2025

Department of Urology and Urosurgery, Medical Faculty Mannheim, University Medical Center Mannheim, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany.

Background And Objective: High intrarenal pressure (IRP) is a significant concern in both endoscopic procedures and acute hydronephrosis, and may cause renal parenchymal damage, forniceal rupture, and long-term impaired renal function. Its pathomechanism and effect on renal perfusion patterns remain undetermined. This study investigates the impact of elevated IRP on renal perfusion and oxygen saturation (StO) using hyperspectral imaging (HSI).
