"It is crucial that patients with NAFLD receive an assessment for their risk of advanced fibrosis, which increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and other complications of cirrhosis. Risk stratification that is efficient, cost-effective, patient-centred and evidence-based is one of the most important issues facing clinicians who care for those with liver disease. Given patients' preference to avoid liver biopsy, noninvasive alternatives to assess liver fibrosis are in high demand. The most accurate noninvasive methods are based on liver elastography. Research on these techniques — which include vibration-controlled、transient elastography (VCTE), magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), shear-wave elastography and acoustic radiation force impulse — has proliferated. Unfortunately, the literature has not kept pace with clinical practice. I ask some questions to author. 1.Please tell me what kinds of procedures is most sensitive diagnostic tool? Liver biopsy should be considered in patients with NAFLD who are at increased risk of having SH and/or advanced fibrosis. 2.Please tell me the criteria for liver biopsy to make a diagnosis as NAFLD.

"The study by Ashraf et al (2021) attracted my attention as a new approach to assess the susceptibility to COVID-19 and estimate the worst outcome after this viral infection. The study has got its merit and certainly is of high importance. However, there is a visible (serious) mistake in the Abstract. The study Abstract reports that “… pooled analysis showed significantly higher concentration of this marker (troponin I) in the survived group compared to non-survived group…”. It is wrong. This statement contradicts the study data and the Conclusion. The Conclusion reports that “Raising troponin-I on admission can be linked to the increased risk for in-hospital death, acute respiratory distress syndrome, kidney injury, and intensive care unit admission …… as compared to those with initial normal troponin I concentration”. In simple words, the study found that higher troponin-I is a risk factor for patients with COVID-19. Thus, the abstract Results section delivers the wrong idea. Another limitation, that I found, is an incomplete Discussion of the observed links between adverse outcome and levels of troponin -I. For instance, the role of SARS-CoV-2-triggered cytokine storm (including levels of TNFalpha etc) were not properly discussed in relation to the mechanisms that may provoke the higher level of troponin-I. The testing of troponin-I in lymph were not indicated, although the higher troponin-I was previously detected in lymph and associated with cardiovascular problems. I also found several mistakes in English grammar and style. " [Collapse]

"The authors have covered this very timely and appropriate issue well. Filling in the background gap excels it. For instance, William Coley (of Memorial Hospital, NY, USA, belatedly named "Father of Immunotherapy") never had any modern radiotherapy (RT) nor chemotherapy (CHT); yet, he still treated successfully hundreds of inoperable sarcomas by bacterial toxins (late 19th century). Currently, the pivotal phenomenon of ICD [immunogenic cell death, duly highlighted by Lorenzo Galluzzi et al for approximately 10 years by now, as induced by signals from dying cancer cells rendered by some CHT (notably metronomic CHT) and RT courses purposely shortened] would induce a very robust innate immunity similar to that of Coley's toxins. It may well be very useful for organ preservation trials, including that on rectal cancers. Despite authors' concern, fibrosis is usually much more belated; whereas very active debris clearance may toughen tumors akin to edema of chronic inflammation. Logistically, short RT courses (e.g., of only 2 weeks) allowing much shorter time to permit debris clearance naturally require longer post-RT observations, lest unfair conclusions ensue. Perhaps a separate discussion is appropriate. " [Collapse]

"I am interested in reading an article with Cox II GA et al. Diagnostic reading of capsule endoscopy is challenging and has a consistent risk of readers missing significant findings. Currently, artificial intelligence (AI) has exceeded human image recognition abilities. The authors stated that artificial intelligence in VCE has improved GIAD detection. The diagnostic performance of a CADx algorithm, SSD, and ROI is almost over 90% of AUC on GIAD detection. I agree with their opinions. However, AI’s selection is based on the so-called “black box.” It is not easy to indicate the groups on the AI-decision made, and humans cannot understand it. The human physician can only answer, “the result is according to AI,” to the patient. As a result, the responsibility for diagnosis is unclear, and ethical issues must be resolved. In addition, current research is based on retrospective studies. Therefore, prospective studies using full-video capsule endoscopy and suitable DL architectures in multicenter settings are necessary.

"Suicidal thoughts and behaviors seem to be an important issue for spiritual and psychological practitioners around the world. A recent study showed that approximately half of the children who experienced suicidal thoughts and behaviors in adolescence first exhibited STBs in early childhood and comprised a trajectory suggesting increasing STBs. The other half probably developed suicidal thoughts and behaviors in early adolescence[1]. In addition to major depression, a mental illness with a high incidence among adolescents, subthreshold-depression and subthreshold-anxiety are also significantly associated with an increased suicide risk of adolescence[2]. Thus, Early screening and identification of at-risk youth during both preschool and late childhood is important for early intervention regarding Suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In China, we also face such serious problems. According to a recent study of China's continental regions, being a female and coming from a rural area are still potential risk factors for developing depressive traits among adolescent students in China[3]. How to reduce the self-injury and suicide behavior of adolescents with depression and adopt effective treatment methods has always been a difficult problem for doctors and their families. No pharmacotherapy alone was more effective than psychotherapy alone. Babeva et al [4] affirmed the potential value of personalized treatment approaches based on pretreatment characteristics. Zhou X et al[5] reported that only fluoxetine plus CBT and fluoxetine were significantly more effective than pill placebo or psychological controls, and only interpersonal therapy was more effective than all psychological controls. However, they also acknowledged that the effects of these interventions might vary between individuals. Due to the harmfulness of self-injury-suicide and the possibility of irreparable consequences, how to treat it quickly and effectively is also the concern of researchers. This paper, from researchers in Israel, offers a way to do it，In addition, the procedures and methods of Interpersonal psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A) are illustrated in the form of individual cases, which is more practical. Interpersonal relationship has always been a major area of adolescent psychological problems, including the relationship with family members, friends, classmates, teachers, lovers and so on. In addition, there is something to be noted that, beginning in the teenage years, adolescents become less reliant on their parents for support and begin to turn to their peer group for support. Interpersonal psychotherapy for adolescents is an effective intervention for adolescent depression, improving a range of relevant outcomes. IPT-A may be particularly beneficial for adolescents who report a high level of avoidant attachment. However, IPT-A lacks an advantage in improving interpersonal difficulties[6], and has a weak effect on the prevention of adolescent depression[7]. Therefore, although IPT-A is recommended as A psychological treatment for adolescent depression, more clinical practice is needed to confirm it. In previous IPT-A studies, the treatment duration was about 10 weeks, while the ultra-short-term IPTA treatment duration was about 5 weeks. The specific clinical effect and the duration of the curative effect need to be verified by large-sample studies. All in all, as a psychiatrist who treats many children and adolescents with depression, this study may provide me with a more practical method for my work, however, further large sample studies are needed for clinical effectiveness.

Moreover, a separate sub-analysis of the impact of certain psychiatric disorders on TTS would be of interest, is possible." [Collapse]
