Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the bladder combined with cystitis glandularis: a case report / 中华泌尿外科杂志

This article reported a case of Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the bladder combined with cystitis glandularis. The patient was admitted to the hospital after hematuria for more than 20 days and occasionally accompanied with dysuria.Preoperative imaging examination showed a space-occupying lesion on the anterior bladder wall, with a size about 7.7 cm×6.1 cm×4.4 cm, considering the possibility of bladder cancer. Laparoscopic robot-assisted partial cystectomy was performed, and the postoperative pathological diagnosis was cystitis myofibroblastic tumor combined with cystitis glandularis. Cystitis myofibroblastic tumor is a true tumor originating from the bladder parenchyma, which is a rare clinical disease, and it combined with cystitis glandularis has not been reported. Because its clinical manifestations and imaging manifestations are difficult to distinguish from bladder malignant tumors, the diagnosis mainly depends on pathology and immunohistochemistry stain.

Application value of ventricular intracranial pressure monitoring in the treatment of unilateral temporal lobe cerebral contusion / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To explore the application value of ventricular intracranial pressure monitoring (V-ICPM) in the treatment of unilateral temporal lobe cerebral contusion.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 295 patients with unilateral temporal lobe cerebral contusion admitted to 904th Hospital of PLA Joint Support Force from January 2014 to August 2021, including 172 males and 123 females; aged 14-78 years [(46.3±14.7)years]. V-ICPM was used in 136 patients (V-ICPM group), who received surgical or non-surgical treatment according to the monitoring, while not in 159 patients (non-V-ICPM group), who received routine surgery or non-surgical treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of the rates of intracranial hematoma clearance by craniotomy, decompressive craniectomy (DC) and dehydration and osmotic therapy during hospitalization, use time of 20% mass fraction of mannitol and 30 g/L hypertonic salt, displacement rate of brain midline structure of head CT≥10 mm after discharge, rate of intracranial infection, hydrocephalus and epilepsy, and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at 6 months after discharge.Results:All patients were followed up for 6-12 months [(8.9±2.1)months]. During hospitalization, the rate of intracranial hematoma clearance by craniotomy and the rate of DC in V-ICPM group were 35.3% (48/136) and 8.1% (11/136), lower than 47.2% (75/159) and 22.0% (35/159) in non-V-ICPM group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the rate of dehydration and osmotic therapy or the use time of mannitol (all P>0.05). The use time of hypertonic salt in V-ICPM group was (7.2±2.5)days, more than (4.1±1.8)days in non-V-ICPM group ( P<0.05). After discharge, the displacement rate of brain midline structure of head CT in V-ICPM group was 29.4% (40/136), lower than 42.8% (68/159) in non-V-ICPM group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the rate of intracranial infection, hydrocephalus and epilepsy (all P>0.05). Six months after discharge, the good rate of GOS in V-ICPM group was 91.2% (124/136), significantly better than 81.8% (130/159) in non-V-ICPM group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For unilateral temporal lobe cerebral contusion, V-ICPM is associated with reduced rate of craniotomy exploration and DC, decreased incidence of complications and improved prognosis of the patients in spite of longer use time of hypertonic salt.

Research progress of SLC1A2 gene and essential tremor / 中国医师杂志

Essential tremor (ET) is a common dyskinesia disease characterized by tremor. ET is clinically heterogeneous. In addition to the motor symptoms with tremor as the main manifestation, it also includes non-motor symptoms such as neuropsychiatric symptoms (anxiety, depression), personality changes, sleep disorders, etc. Among them, anxiety and depression are the most common, and gradually worsen as the disease progresses, causing adverse effects on the quality of life of patients. Therefore, the early clinical full text of looking for ET psychiatric symptoms seems to have no content of the evaluation scale and is irrelevant. It is suggested that removing biomarkers plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of ET patients. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) describes the SLC1A2 gene associated with ET, and the EAAT2 or GLT1 encoded by this gene is associated with the anxiety and depression phenotypes of ET patients in non-motor symptoms. Up to now, the pathogenesis of ET patients is not clear, but many reports confirm that genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of ET. Among them, SLC1A2 is expected to become a biomarker of the neuropsychiatric phenotype of the disease, providing a basis for clinical workers to take corresponding intervention measures in time. This article reviews SLC1A2 gene and essential tremor.

Research progress of olfactory dysfunction in Parkinson′s disease / 中国医师杂志

Parkinson′s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to motor symptoms, PD also has many non motor symptoms, such as dysosmia, constipation, cognitive impairment, etc. Among them, dysosmia is a common non motor symptom of early Parkinson′s disease. Research has confirmed that olfactory dysfunction (OD) can appear before the typical clinical symptoms of PD, which is of great significance to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, at present, the pathogenesis of OD is still unclear, and the inspection methods have not been unified, and there is no complete cure. This article reviews the latest research progress of dysosmia in Parkinson′s disease.

Objective:To investigate the application value of CT and MRI imageomics based on machine learning method in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 62 patients with surgically resected and pathologically confirmed pancreatic cancer, who underwent enhanced CT scan, MRI plain or enhanced scan in Shanghai General Hospital between January 2014 and December 2021 were collected. According to the chronological order of surgery, 49 patients from January 2014 to December 2020 were enrolled in the training set and 13 patients from January 2021 to December 2021 were enrolled in the validation set. 3D-slicer 4.8.1 software was used to draw the region of interest in each layer of CT and MRI images for cancerous and paracancerous tissue segment. Image features were extracted by Python and the optimal feature set from the training set data was obtained by using Lasso regression model. The machine learning decision tree model was constructed. The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) curve was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the value of these three kinds of imageomics models in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.Results:The 1 767 CT features and 1 674 MRI features were obtained from enhanced CT scan, MRI plain scan and enhanced MRI scan, respectively. For the differential diagnosis model of cancerous tissue and paracancerous tissue, the enhanced CT scan data model obtained the optimal feature set involving 6 features, the MRI plain scan model obtained the optimal feature set involving 16 features, and the enhanced MRI scan model obtained the optimal feature set involving 15 features. The diagnostic model based on enhanced CT scan had an AUC of 0.98 in the training set and 1 in the verification group. The AUC of the MRI plain scan and enhanced MRI scan models in both the training set and the validation set was 1. The specificity and sensitivity of machine learning decision tree model based on the three kinds of imageomics models in the diagnosis of cancerous tissue and paracancerous tissue were 100%. For the differential diagnosis model of splenic artery wrapping, the enhanced CT scan model didn′t obtain the optimal features and had no diagnostic efficacy. The MRI plain scan model and enhanced MRI scan model obtained the optimal feature set involving 5 and 4 features, respectively. The AUC of the MRI plain scan model in the training set and the validation set were 0.862 and 0.750, respectively, with diagnostic sensitivity of 93.8% and 50.0%, and specificity of 78.6% and 100%, respectively. The AUC of the enhanced MRI scan model in the training set and the validation set were 0.950 and 0.861, respectively, with diagnostic sensitivity of 90.0% and 93.6%, and specificity of 100% and 78.6%, respectively.Conclusions:Based on the radiomics of CT enhanced, MRI plain scan and enhanced MRI scan, the machine learning diagnostic model has an accuracy of more than 90% in differentiating pancreatic cancer from paracancerous tissue. For the differentiation of splenic artery wrapping in pancreatic cancer, the diagnostic model based on enhanced MRI scan haS the best diagnostic efficiency.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of hyperoxia on intestinal metabolomics in mice.@*METHODS@#Sixteen 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into hyperoxia group and control group, with 8 mice in each group. The hyperoxia group was exposed to 80% oxygen for 14 days. Mice were anesthetized and euthanized, and cecal contents were collected for untargeted metabolomics analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) combined detection. Orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), volcano plot analysis, heat map analysis, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used to analyze the effects of hyperoxia on metabolism.@*RESULTS@#(1) OPLS-DA analysis showed that R2Y was 0.967 and Q2 was 0.796, indicating that the model was reliable. (2) Volcano plot and heat map analysis showed significant statistical differences in the expression levels of metabolites between the two groups, with 541 up-regulated metabolites, 64 down-regulated metabolites, and 907 no differences, while the elevated 5-hydroxy-L-lysine was the most significant differential metabolite induced by high oxygen. (3) KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism (P = 0.005), lysine degradation (P = 0.047), and aromatic compound degradation (P = 0.024) were the targets affected by hyperoxia. (4) Differential analysis of metabolic products through KEGG enrichment pathway showed that hyperoxia had a significant impact on the metabolism of porphyrin and chlorophyll, lysine, and aromatic compounds such as benzene and o-cresol.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Hyperoxia significantly induces intestinal metabolic disorders. Hyperoxia enhances the metabolism of porphyrins and chlorophyll, inhibits the degradation of lysine, and delays the degradation of aromatic compounds such as benzene and o-cresol.

Main Infection Control Measures for Respiratory Infectious Diseases in Medical Institutions and Public Places in China / 中国医学科学院学报

Respiratory infectious diseases (RID) are the major public health problems threatening the people's lives and health.Infection control (IC) is one of the effective tools to contain the occurrence and spread of RID.We collected the articles and data on IC published since January 1,2018 and summarized the achievements,problems,and challenges of IC from administrative control,management control,environment and engineering control,and personal protection in the medical institutions and public places in China.The efforts for IC vary in different regions and medical institutions of different levels.There are still links to be improved for IC from administrative control,management control,environment and engineering control,and personal protection,especially in community-level medical institutions and public areas.It is urgent to strengthen the implementation of IC policies and conduct IC precisely according to local situations.We proposed the following suggestions.First,the existing IC products and tools should be applied to precisely implement the IC measures;second,modern high technology should be employed to develop efficient and convenient IC products and tools;finally,a digital or intelligent IC platform should be built for monitoring infections,so as to contain the occurrence and spread of RID.

An antibacterial peptides recognition method based on BERT and Text-CNN / 生物工程学报

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecule peptides that are widely found in living organisms with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and immunomodulatory effect. Due to slower emergence of resistance, excellent clinical potential and wide range of application, AMP is a strong alternative to conventional antibiotics. AMP recognition is a significant direction in the field of AMP research. The high cost, low efficiency and long period shortcomings of the wet experiment methods prevent it from meeting the need for the large-scale AMP recognition. Therefore, computer-aided identification methods are important supplements to AMP recognition approaches, and one of the key issues is how to improve the accuracy. Protein sequences could be approximated as a language composed of amino acids. Consequently, rich features may be extracted using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. In this paper, we combine the pre-trained model BERT and the fine-tuned structure Text-CNN in the field of NLP to model protein languages, develop an open-source available antimicrobial peptide recognition tool and conduct a comparison with other five published tools. The experimental results show that the optimization of the two-phase training approach brings an overall improvement in accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and Matthew correlation coefficient, offering a novel approach for further research on AMP recognition.

Comparison of mouse models of depression induced by different modeling methods / 生理学报

The present article was aimed to compare the effectiveness of different induction methods for depression models. Kunming mice were randomly divided into chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) group, corticosterone (CORT) group, and CUMS+CORT (CC) group. The CUMS group received CUMS stimulation for 4 weeks, and the CORT group received subcutaneous injection of 20 mg/kg CORT into the groin every day for 3 weeks. The CC group received both CUMS stimulation and CORT administration. Each group was assigned a control group. After modeling, forced swimming test (FST), tail suspension test (TST) and sucrose preference test (SPT) were used to detect the behavioral changes of mice, and the serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and CORT were detected with ELISA kits. Attenuated total refraction (ATR) spectra of mouse serum were collected and analyzed. HE staining was used to detect morphological changes in mouse brain tissue. The results showed that the weight of model mice from the CUMS and CC groups decreased significantly. There was no significant change in immobility time of model mice from the three groups in FST and TST, while the glucose preference of model mice from the CUMS and CC groups was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). The serum 5-HT levels of model mice from the CORT and CC groups were significantly reduced, while the serum BDNF and CORT levels of model mice from the CUMS, CORT, and CC groups showed no significant changes. Compared with their respective control groups, the three groups showed no significant difference in the one-dimensional spectrum of serum ATR. The difference spectrum analysis results of the first derivative of the spectrogram showed that the CORT group had the greatest difference from its respective control group, followed by the CUMS group. The structures of hippocampus in the model mice from the three groups were all destroyed. These results suggest that both CORT and CC treatments can successfully construct a depression model, and the CORT model is more effective than the CC model. Therefore, CORT induction can be used to establish a depression model in Kunming mice.

AIM: To analyze the clinical characteristics and antibiotic sensitivity of traumatic endophthalmitis caused by Bacillus cereus and discuss the early diagnosis and treatment measures.METHODS: The data of 15 patients(15 eyes)with Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis admitted to the Eye Trauma Center of Shaanxi Provincial Eye Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were collected. The injury time, injury condition, preoperative visual acuity, corrected visual acuity in the last follow-up, operation method, bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test results were recorded.RESULTS: Among the 15 patients(15 eyes), 5 eyes with simple corneal perforating wound were treated with wound debridement and suture combined with intraocular antibiotic injection. And another 10 eyes with penetrating injuries combined with traumatic cataract and intraocular foreign bodies were treated with debridement, cataract extraction, removal of intraocular foreign bodies, vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade and intraocular antibiotic injection. Among the 15 patients, 11 patients(73%)were treated effectively and the eyeball was preserved, and 4 patients(27%)were treated ineffectively and ocular evisceration was performed. Among the 11 patients with eyeball retention, 1(9%)had decreased vision, 1(9%)had unchanged vision, 4(36%)had improved vision by 1 level, and 5(45%)had improved vision by 2 levels, and the postoperative visual acuity was significantly improved. Correlation analysis showed that the course of disease was negatively correlated with corrected visual acuity(rs=-0.762, P=0.001). The cultures of vitreous humor and aqueous humor samples of patients were all grown in Bacillus cereus, and susceptibility tests were sensitive to vancomycin.CONCLUSIONS: Vancomycin is an effective drug for the treatment of Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis. Vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade and intravitreal injection of vancomycin are effective method for the treatment of Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.

Proposal and thoughts on establishing and improving multi-level dental insurance in China / 中华口腔医学杂志

Oral diseases are highly prevalent in China, while oral health services are generally underutilized and public health resources are wasted. Lacking oral insurance may be one of the leading causes. The basic medical insurance of China does not cover dental care in most cities, which is worthy to further discuss. To better understand the experience of dental insurance from international dental care practice, the dental coverage scope, content, co-pay ratio, and effects of oral insurance on oral health improvement from the abroad countries with typical health insurance systems were summarized by using scoping review. Then, we discussed the coverage scope for dental health of basic medical insurance and private insurance in China. We also analyzed the current issues of dental care coverage and cost-share. At last, we proposed thoughts and suggestions to establish and improve a multi-level oral health insurance system with Chinese characteristics under the basic medical insurance frame. In particular, we gave suggestions on increasing the coverage for high dental care xpenditure by ebasic medical insurance, supplying children and teenagers with preventive dental care, and encouraging private insurance companies to cover dental care expenditure.

Current research in liver transplantation during the Covid-19 pandemic / 中华外科杂志

The coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has drastically changed our daily life and clinical practice.Due to the reduction of liver transplantation and the liver injury caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection during the pandemic,the prognosis of waitinglisted liver transplant candidates is worse.Due to the long-term immunosuppressive therapy of liver recipients,their risk of infection is higher than the general population.Although some studies suggested that immunosuppressive therapy seems to have a protective effect in infected patients,it also leads to chronic infection.Due to the concerns about the risk of virus transmission,expert consensus does not recommend the utilization of donor livers with the history of Covid-19.Currently,published articles do not support the argument that virus can be transmitted to recipients through donor livers.Therefore,the feasibility of liver transplantation utilizing donor livers with SARS-CoV-2 infection remains controversial.In this article,current advances in liver transplantation during the Covid-19 pandemic are reviewed to provide a new perspective for liver transplantation in the future.

Application and prospect of artificial intelligence in pancreatic cancer / 中华外科杂志

As a severe malignant tumor of the digestive system,the highly invasive pancreatic cancer lacks typical preliminary symptoms. Rapid metastatic dissemination and difficulty in early-stage diagnosis preclude the chance of radical curative resection,hence resulting in a poor overall prognosis in most patients. In recent years,the wide application of the artificial intelligence(AI),represented by machine learning and deep learning,has developed rapidly in the field of medicine. All sorts of models based on AI have been applied to the screening, early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis prediction of patients with pancreatic cancer.Three-dimentional visualization and augmented reality navigation technologies have also been developed and applied in pancreatic cancer surgery.This paper reviews the status quo of AI application in pancreatic cancer from various aspects,and anticipates its future application prospects.
