The monthly incidence of brucellosis in Urumqi in 2022 was predicted to be 7, 4, 4, 6, 9, 9, 10, 7, 7, 5, 5, and 5 cases, respectively. Conclusion ARIMA model can well fit and predict the monthly incidence of brucellosis in Urumqi and provide a basis for the monitoring and prevention of brucellosis.

Application and efficacy of patient-based real-time quality control in intralaboratory comparison of various hematology analyzers / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the application value of patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) algorithms in intralaboratory comparison between various hematology analyzers.Method:From April 1 st 2020 to March 31 th 2021, data of white blood cell (WBC) counts and daily comparison results of fresh venous blood, measured by five hematology analyzers, were collected at the Department of Laboratory Medicine in Hebei Children′s Hospital. First, the professional intelligent PBRTQC software system was applied to conduct the parameter setting, program establishment, and performance verification. Three concentration ranges of WBC were selected, low concentration (2.5-4.5)×10 9/L, medium concentration (6.0-8.0)×10 9/L and high concentration (12.0-14.0)×10 9/L for the comparison. Next, WBC counts were calculated with both of the EWMA and median methods, the results were then analyzed by PBRTQC using the module of"intralaboratory comparison of hematology analyzers". Finally, bias of intralaboratory comparison among various hematology analyzers analyzed by means of EWMA and daily comparison results of fresh venous blood were compared. Based on the standard of WS/T 406-2012,allowable error ±7.50% in WBC counts was set as the relative bias standard among different instruments. Results:(1) A total of 38 313 sample results were included, there were 70 warning results out of these samples based on the EWMA quality control method established on the data of patients with white blood cell count in our laboratory, with an early warning rate of 0.183‰, a probability of error detection of 100%, and a probability of false loss of control of 0. EWMA quality control efficiency met the quality objectives. (2) In the comparison monitoring of the results of 5 blood cell analyzers at high concentrations, the coincidence rate between EWMA and median method were both 100% (46/46) in weekly and monthly comparison, and EWMA could maintain a relatively stable monitoring efficiency in daily comparison. (3) In the selected natural month, the consistency rate between EWMA method and fresh blood comparison method was 95.24% (20/21).Conclusion:PBRTQC can be used as a valuable supplementary tool of IQC to continuously and effectively monitor the consistency of data derived from intralaboratory hematology analyzers with different bands and types, which can not only reduce the risk of quality and operating costs, but also improve the efficiency of laboratory management.

Relationship between serum reproductive hormones and sperm parameters and surgical outcomes in Micro-TESE / 现代泌尿外科杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between serum reproductive hormones and sperm parameters and outcomes of micro-testicular sperm extraction (Micro-TESE). 【Methods】 Clinical data of 1 091 patients treated in our hospital during Jan. and Dec.2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the sperm concentration,the patients were divided into non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) group (group A,n=418),normal sperm concentration group (group B,n=615),mild to moderate oligospermia group (group C,n=18),severe oligospermia group (group D,n=18),and obstructive azoospermia group (group E,n=22). In group A,244 cases treated with Micro-TESE were grouped into the sperm-acquired group (Micro-TESE positive group,n=82) and non-sperm-acquired group (Micro-TESE negative group,n=162),and according to the pathological types of testicular tissue,the patients were divided into normal testicular tissue with hypospermatogenesis group (HYPO group,n=129),maturation arrest group (MA group,n=10),and support-only cell syndrome group (SCO group,n=122). Differences in semen parameters and reproductive hormone levels were compared,and relationship between reproductive hormones and sperm parameters and Micro-TESE outcomes was determined with Pearson correlation analysis. 【Results】 In the sperm concentration subgroup,the testicular volume of group A was lower than that of group B and group E (P<0.05); the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in group A were the highest (P<0.05),but the level of testosterone (T) was the lowest (P<0.05); the levels of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and serum inhibin B (INHB) in group A were lower than those in group B and group E (P<0.05),the normal sperm morphology rate in group B was higher than that in group A and group E (P<0.05); the percentage of forward moving sperm in group B was the highest (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that sperm concentration,normal sperm morphology rate,and percentage of forward moving sperm were negatively correlated with age,FSH,LH (P<0.05),and positively correlated with testicular volume,T,AMH,and INHB (P<0.05). NOA patients were grouped according to testicular histology and pathology. The INHB in the SCO group was the smallest of the three groups (P<0.05); the FSH and LH levels in the SCO group were higher than those in the MA group (P<0.05),while the 17β-estradiol (E2) levels in the HYPO group were higher than those in the SCO group (P<0.05). NOA patients were grouped according to the results of Micro-TESE surgical treatment. There was a statistically significant difference in AMH and INHB levels between the Micro-TESE positive and negative groups (P<0.05). The binary logistic regression analysis of factors affecting the Micro-TESE outcomes of NOA patients showed AMH was negatively correlated with the Micro-TESE outcome (OR=0.904,95%CI:0.91-1.08,P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Age,FSH,LH,AMH,and INHB are correlated with sperm concentration,normal sperm morphology rate,and percentage of forward moving sperm. The INHB level was the lowest in the SCO group. The results of Micro-TESE in patients with NOA can be predicted by serum AMH level.

@#Abstract: Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in Ankang City from 2011 to 2021, so as to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of PTB prevention and control strategy. Methods Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of PTB in Ankang City from 2011 to 2021, and a time series model was established to quantitatively predict the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in 2023. Results The incidence rate in Ankang City showed a significant upward trend from 2011 to 2017, and a more obvious downward trend in 2017-2021 (P<0.05), and the decrease rate in 2021 was 40.36% compared with that in 2017. The proportion of etiological positivity increased from 12.5% in 2014 to over 50.00% after 2019. The incidence season was mainly concentrated in the first quarter, accounting for 28.39% of the annual incidence. High incidence areas were concentrated in the south of Ankang: Langao County, Ziyang County and Zhenping County, with 128.32/100 000, 117.07/100 000 and 110.44/100 000, respectively. Low incidence areas were located in the north of Ankang: Ningshan County, with 60.62/100 000. Farmers and students were the high incidence groups, accounting for 81.80% and 4.97% of the total cases respectively. The incidence of young children was relatively low, but cases were reported every year. The incidence rate of male was 2.39 times that of female. The age of onset increased significantly from 15 years old, and the peak incidence was in the age group of 60-<80 years old, followed by the age group of 45-<60 years old, the average annual incidence was 136.44/100 000 and 104.47/100 000, respectively. The model ARIMA(0,1,1)(0,1,1)12 predicted that the incidence of the disease generally increased from October 2022 to March 2023, then steadily decreased, and increased again in December. Conclusions The incidence of tuberculosis varies in different areas of Ankang City, and males, farmers, students and the elderly are all factors of high incidence of tuberculosis. Therefore, different prevention and control strategies should be adopted according to the characteristics of population in different areas. The number of cases in Ankang City in 2023 showed an overall downward trend, which can provide a reference for the prevention and control of PTB.

An Atrial Fibrillation Classification Method Study Based on BP Neural Network and SVM / 中国医疗器械杂志

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia, and its diagnosis is interfered by many factors. In order to achieve applicability in diagnosis and improve the level of automatic analysis of atrial fibrillation to the level of experts, the automatic detection of atrial fibrillation is very important. This study proposes an automatic detection algorithm for atrial fibrillation based on BP neural network (back propagation network) and support vector machine (SVM). The electrocardiogram (ECG) segments in the MIT-BIH atrial fibrillation database are divided into 10, 32, 64, and 128 heartbeats, respectively, and the Lorentz value, Shannon entropy, K-S test value and exponential moving average value are calculated. These four characteristic parameters are used as the input of SVM and BP neural network for classification and testing, and the label given by experts in the MIT-BIH atrial fibrillation database is used as the reference output. Among them, the use of atrial fibrillation in the MIT-BIH database, the first 18 cases of data are used as the training set, and the last 7 cases of data are used as the test set. The results show that the accuracy rate of 92% is obtained in the classification of 10 heartbeats, and the accuracy rate of 98% is obtained in the latter three categories. The sensitivity and specificity are both above 97.7%, which has certain applicability. Further validation and improvement in clinical ECG data will be done in next study.

The predictive value of time series forecasting model in prehospital emergency medical services demand in Guangzhou / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective:To study the value of autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and autoregressive (AR) models in predicting the daily number of ambulances in prehospital emergency medical services demand in Guangzhou.Methods:Matlab simulation software was used to analyze the emergency dispatching departure records in Guangzhou from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. A time series for the number of ambulances per day was calculated. After identifying the time series prediction model, ARIMA(1,1,1), AR(4) and AR(7) models were obtained. These models were used to predict the number of ambulances per day. ARIMA(1,1,1) model divided the time series into the training set and test set. Prony method was used for parameter calculation, and the demands of number of ambulances of the next few months were forecasted. AR(4) and AR(7) models used uniformity coefficient to forecast the demands of number of ambulances on that very day.Results:ARIMA(1,1,1), AR(4) and AR(7) can effectively predict the number of ambulances per day. The prediction fitting error of ARIMA (1,1,1) decreased with the extension of prediction time. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of forecast results of daily vehicle output of emergency dispatching within two months was less than 6% and the predicted results were almost within the 95% confidence interval. The residual analysis of the model verified that the model was significantly effective.Conclusions:ARIMA model can make a long-term within two months and effective prediction fitting of the daily vehicle output of emergency dispatching, and AR model can make a short-term and effective prediction of the daily vehicle output of emergency dispatching.

The SARIMA, GAM, and LSTM of HFRS incidence in the whole country and 9 provinces were fitted with the training data; the fitted model was used to predict the incidence of HFRS from January to December 2017, and compared with the test data. The mean absolute percentage error ( MAPE) was used to evaluate the model fitting and prediction accuracy. When MAPE < 20%, the model fitting or prediction effect was good, 20%-50% was acceptable, and > 50% was poor. Results:From the perspective of overall fitting and prediction effect, the optimal model for the whole country and Heilongjiang, Shaanxi, Jilin, Liaoning and Jiangxi was SARIMA ( MAPE was 19.68%, 20.48%, 44.25%, 19.59%, 23.82% and 35.29%, respectively), among which the fitting and prediction effects of the whole country and Jilin were good, and the rest were acceptable. The optimal model for Shandong and Zhejiang was GAM ( MAPE was 18.29% and 21.25%, respectively), the fitting and prediction effect of Shandong was good, and Zhejiang was acceptable. The optimal model for Hebei and Hunan was LSTM ( MAPE was 26.52% and 22.69%, respectively), and the fitting and prediction effects were acceptable. From the perspective of fitting effect, GAM had the highest fitting accuracy in the whole country data, with MAPE = 10.44%. From the perspective of prediction effect, LSTM had the highest prediction accuracy in the whole country data, with MAPE = 12.23%. Conclusions:SARIMA, GAM, and LSTM can all be used as the optimal models for fitting the incidence of HFRS, but the optimal models fitted in different regions show great differences. In the future, in the establishment of HFRS prediction models, as many alternative models as possible should be included for screening to ensure higher fitting and prediction accuracy.

A Case Report of Painful Legs and Moving Toes Syndrome and Painful Arms and Moving Fingers Syndrome with Severe Blood Stasis and Panic Disorder Successfully Treated with Tokakujokito-Based Kampo Prescriptions / 日本東洋医学雑誌

The patient was a 47-year-old woman. Four years previously, she began to suffer from left lower leg pain and numbness, and involuntary movements. She received further examination in the department of neurology at other hospitals, but had an uncertain etiology and was provisionally diagnosed with restless legs syndrome. She was treated with Western medicine such as gabapentin and gabapentin enacarbil, but they were ineffective. She subsequently visited our hospital and was hospitalized. She was diagnosed with painful legs and moving toes syndrome, and painful arms and moving fingers syndrome after further examination. We prescribed tokakujokito because she had severe blood stasis and panic disorder on Kamp medical findings. As a result, her left lower leg numbness disappeared and pain was reduced. We report a case of a patient who could not be effectively treated using Western medicine and was successfully treated with tokakujokito-based Kampo prescriptions.

An Easily Compatible Eye-tracking System for Freely-moving Small Animals / 神经科学通报·英文版

Measuring eye movement is a fundamental approach in cognitive science as it provides a variety of insightful parameters that reflect brain states such as visual attention and emotions. Combining eye-tracking with multimodal neural recordings or manipulation techniques is beneficial for understanding the neural substrates of cognitive function. Many commercially-available and custom-built systems have been widely applied to awake, head-fixed small animals. However, the existing eye-tracking systems used in freely-moving animals are still limited in terms of their compatibility with other devices and of the algorithm used to detect eye movements. Here, we report a novel system that integrates a general-purpose, easily compatible eye-tracking hardware with a robust eye feature-detection algorithm. With ultra-light hardware and a detachable design, the system allows for more implants to be added to the animal's exposed head and has a precise synchronization module to coordinate with other neural implants. Moreover, we systematically compared the performance of existing commonly-used pupil-detection approaches, and demonstrated that the proposed adaptive pupil feature-detection algorithm allows the analysis of more complex and dynamic eye-tracking data in free-moving animals. Synchronized eye-tracking and electroencephalogram recordings, as well as algorithm validation under five noise conditions, suggested that our system is flexibly adaptable and can be combined with a wide range of neural manipulation and recording technologies.

Valoración de las respuestas conductuales al dolor durante el cambio postural en pacientes sedados orointubados / Assessment of behavioral responses to pain during postural change in intubated sedated patients

Introducción: los pacientes críticos, bajo sedación y apoyo ventilatorio invasivo presentan dolor, la barrera más grande para su detección es la incapacidad de comunicarse; sin embargo, el hecho de que el paciente no pueda referir su dolor, no significa que no lo padezca. Objetivo: describir las respuestas conductuales al dolor durante el cambio postural en pacientes sedados oro intubados. Material y métodos: estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, observacional, longitudinal. Muestra n= 50 pacientes, se utilizó la escala BPS (Behavioral Pain Scale) como instrumento de valoración del dolor, se midió en tres momentos: 1 minuto antes, durante y 10 minutos después del cambio postural. Resultados: el cambio postural del paciente con sedación y ventilación mecánica provocó dolor en 56% de los pacientes; antes de realizar el cambio postural se identificó una media del dolor de 4.6, durante el cambio postural aumento a 6.5 y posterior al cambio disminuyo a una media de 4, siendo un factor protector. Conclusiones: la movilización del paciente sedado oro intubado requiere de la participación del equipo multidisciplinar, para el manejo de la ventilación mecánica, el cuidado de sondas y catéteres, cuidados de la piel, prevención de caídas y aplicación correcta de la técnica de movilización, la cual demanda experiencia clínica del personal que participa en la valoración y manejo de las respuestas conductuales al dolor.

Current Status and Prospects of Non-Invasive Central Arterial Pressure Measurement / 医用生物力学

Cardiovascular disease is one of the important factors that threaten the health of residents, ranking the first among various causes of death, so the monitoring and diagnosis of human cardiovascular health is particularly important. Compared with traditional brachial artery pressure, central arterial pressure (CAP) has a higher correlation with the occurrence of many cardiovascular events. The measurement of CAP can more accurately reflect the real situation of human blood pressure, and provide an important basis for diagnosis and disease prevention. Therefore, the realization of high-precision, high-generalization ability and low-cost non-invasive measurement of CAP has always been the research focus in this field. This article combines the relevant literature in China and abroad to summarize the current status of CPA measurement, introduces related research progress from two aspects, namely parameter measurement and waveform measurement, and discusses the characteristics of the existing methods and the future development.

The epidemic trend of viral hepatitis in Nanjing from 1989 to 2020 / 预防医学

Objective@#To analyze the epidemic trend of viral hepatitis in Nanjing from 1989 to 2019 and predict the incidence in 2020, so as to provide reference for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis.@*Methods@#The incidence data of viral hepatitis in Nanjing from 1989 to 2019 was retrieved from Nanjng Center for Disease Control and Prevention and National Infectious Disease Reporting System. The epidemic trend was analyzed by estimating the annual percent change ( APC ) and the average annual percent change ( AAPC ). The seasonal incidence of different types of viral hepatitis was analyzed by seasonal index. The autoregressive integrated moving average model ( ARIMA ) was built to predict monthly incidence rate of viral hepatitis in 2020. @*Results@#The annual incidence rate of viral hepatitis was 62.00/100 000 in Nanjing from 1989 to 2019, showing a downward trend ( AAPC=8.4%, P<0.05 ). From 1998 to 2019, the annual incidence rates of hepatitis A, B, C and E were 1.98/100 000, 14.31/100 000, 2.30/100 000 and 2.60/100 000. The incidence of hepatitis A and B showed downward trends ( AAPC=-11.81%, -6.02%, both P<0.05 ); the incidence trend of hepatitis C was not obvious ( P>0.05 ); the incidence of hepatitis E showed an increasing trend ( AAPC=4.82%, P<0.05 ). From 2015 to 2019, the third and fourth quarters were the epidemic seasons of hepatitis A, B and C, while the first and second quarters were the epidemic seasons of hepatitis E. The ARIMA model predicted that the monthly incidence rates of viral hepatitis in 2020 would range from 1.26/100 000 to 3.69/100 000, among which hepatitis B ranged from 1.21/100 000 to 2.58/100 000, hepatitis C from 0.20/100 000 to 0.48/100 000, hepatitis E from 0.09/100 000 to 0.25/100 000. @*Conclusions@#The incidence of viral hepatitis in Nanjing shows a downward trend. Among different types of hepatitis, hepatitis B has a higher incidence. All types of hepatitis have epidemic seasons. It is predicted that the monthly incidence rates of viral hepatitis will be 1.26/100 000 to 3.69/100 000 in 2020.
