BackgroundSchizophrenia is a highly heterogeneous disease with different clinical subtypes. Artificial intelligence technology represented by deep learning models has provided considerable benefits for the electroencephalogram （EEG）-based schizophrenia diagnosis， treatment and research， however， to date little research has been conducted regarding any of these benefits among Chinese schizophrenic patients. ObjectiveTo investigate the application of deep learning techniques utilizing EEG parameters for the diagnosis of first-episode schizophrenia and grading of EEG abnormalities in patients， with the aim of contributing to improved clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies for the disorder. MethodsFrom January 2020 to January 2023， a total of 130 patients with first-episode schizophrenia who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）， and attended at the Third People's Hospital of Fuyang， along with 150 health checkup examinees， were enrolled. All of them underwent EEG examination. An optimized long short-term memory （LSTM） deep learning model was developed utilizing EEG signals. Ten-fold cross-validation method was employed to evaluate the model's performance. The dataset was then split into two components： a training set （90%） for LSTM model development and a test set （10%） for validation. The accuracy， recall rate， precision， F1-score， schizophrenia diagnosis and EEG abnormality grading were used as evaluation indicators， and the results of the proposed model were compared to the assessments made by experienced psychiatrists. ResultsFor schizophrenia diagnosis， the modeling group achieved the following performance metrics： precision （94.40±3.03）%， recall rate （94.30±3.23）%， accuracy （94.60±2.22）%， and F1-score （94.20±2.20）%. In the validation group， the corresponding metrics were precision （90.90±2.85）%， recall rate （92.20±1.14）%， accuracy （92.20±1.69）%， and F1-score （91.50±1.78）%. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the LSTM diagnostic model and the experienced psychiatrists in terms of precision， recall rate， accuracy， and F1-score for schizophrenia diagnosis （χ²=1.500， 0.750， 2.722， 1.056， P>0.05）. The modeling group demonstrated an accuracy rate of （91.71±1.73）% in grading EEG abnormalities. For Grade 1 abnormalities， the modeling group reported a precision of （96.40±2.39）%， a recall rate of （94.77±1.40）%， and an F1-score of （95.55±1.14）%. In the case of Grade 2 abnormalities， the precision was （85.89±2.04）%， the recall rate was （88.10±6.18）%， and the F1-score was （87.06±3.12）%. For the more severe Grade 3 abnormalities， the modeling group's precision was （79.61±7.33）%， the recall rate was （81.79±9.87）%， and the F1-score was （80.41±6.79）%. Additionally， the validation group exhibited an accuracy rate of （85.61±6.16）%. The precision， recall rate， and F1-score for Grade 1 abnormalities were （91.43±6.25）%， （92.64±9.65）% and （91.56±4.83）%， respectively. For Grade 2 abnormalities， these metrics were （71.17±19.02）%， （77.64±17.24）% and （71.88±11.33）%. In the case of Grade 3 abnormalities， the precision was （90.00±21.08）%， the recall rate was （80.00±25.82）%， and the F1-score was （81.67±19.95）%. There was no significant difference in the accuracy， recall， accuracy and F1 value between LSTM model and senior doctors in evaluating the abnormal degree of EEG in schizophrenia （χ²=0.098， 0.036， 0.020， 0.336， P>0.05）. The LSTM model takes less time to diagnose schizophrenia and EEG abnormalities than senior doctors， and the differences were statistically significant （t=57.147， 43.104， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe study utilizes an EEG-based LSTM deep learning model for diagnosing first-episode schizophrenia and grading EEG abnormalities， and the model not only matches the performance of experienced psychiatrists but also significantly reduces the time required for diagnosis.

To provide an evidence for clinical application, the distribution and radioimmunoimaging of 131I-labeled angiostatin in tumor-bearing mice were studied. Angiostatin was labeled with 131 I by the conventional chloramines T (Ch-T) method and injected into C-57 mice bearing Lewis lung cancer. The biodistribution of 131 I-angiostatin and whole body ECT imaging were studied at various intervals after injection. The average percentage of ID/g was 12. 48, 18. 56 and 23. 17 for tumor and 7. 04 ,5. 47 and 1. 73 for liver at 48, 96, 144 hours postinjection, respectively. The T/NT ratios were 1. 77, 3. 39 and 13. 39 for liver at 48 ,96 and 144 hours postinjection, respectively. The tumor was showed clearly at 96 hours after injection . The quality of tumor imaging was relevant to the T/NT ratio . The results demonstrated that the 131I-angiostatin binds specifically to the receptor on endothelial cells in the tumor and may also possess the capability of locating lung cancer tissue.

AIM: To investigate the change trend of angle Kappa after intraocular lens(IOL)implantation in cataract patients and its relationship with IOL stability.METHODS: A total of 120 patients(120 eyes)with cataract who received IOL implantation in our hospital from February 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the research objects, including 56 left eyes and 64 right eyes. The results of ophthalmic examination, the distribution of angle Kappa, the changes of angle Kappa and the stability of IOL at different time points before and after operation were compared. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the correlation between IOL rotational stability and ophthalmic examination indexes. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between angle Kappa and IOL stability.RESULTS: After surgery, angle Kappa decreased and the degree of decrease decreased gradually(all P<0.05), and the IOL rotation degree also decreased gradually(P<0.05). The degree of IOL rotation at 2 mo after surgery was positively correlated with axial length(AL), lens thickness(LT), horizontal keratometer(K1), vertical keratometer(K2), pupil diameter(PD)and angle Kappa at 1 d after surgery(all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with anterior chamber depth(ACD)at 1 d after surgery(all P<0.05). AL, ACD, PD and angle Kappa had significant effects on IOL rotation degree(all P<0.05). With the increase of angle Kappa, the degree of IOL rotation gradually increased, that is, the stability of IOL gradually decreased(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Angle Kappa decreased significantly after IOL implantation in cataract patients, and then tended to be stable. The stability of IOL decreased with the increase of angle Kappa.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of paeoniflorin on glucose metabolism， inflammation and oxidative stress in rats with gestational diabetes mellitus （GDM） and its potential mechanism based on nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/ heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate：quinone oxidoreductase 1 （NQO1） signaling pathway. METHODS The female rats fed with high fat and high sugar diet and the male rats fed with an ordinary diet were caged， the successfully conceived rats were collected， and streptozotocin was injected intraperitoneally once to induce the GDM model. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group， metformin hydrochloride group （200 mg/kg metformin by gavage）， paeoniflorin low-， high-dose groups （45， 90 mg/kg paeoniflorin by gavage， respectively）， paeoniflorin+ML385 group （90 mg/kg paeoniflorin by gavage and intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg Nrf2 inhibitor ML385）， with 12 rats in each group； in addition， another 12 conceived rats fed with an ordinary diet were selected as the control group. The rats in each drug group were given the corresponding drug/normal saline， once a day， for 2 consecutive weeks. Glucose metabolism indexes [fasting blood glucose （FBG）， fasting insulin （FINS）， insulin resistance index （HOMA-IR）]， serum inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor- α （TNF- α）] and renal tissue oxidative stress indexes [superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）] were detected； the pathological changes of renal tissue were observed， and the protein expressions of Nrf2， HO-1 and NQO1 in renal tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the renal tissue lesions of the model group were obvious， including glomerular atrophy， edema degeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells and a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration； the levels of FBG and FINS， HOMA-IR， the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum， and the level of MDA in renal tissue were significantly increased （P＜0.05）， while the levels of SOD and GSH-Px and the protein expressions of Nrf2， HO-1 and NQO1 in renal tissue were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the renal tissue lesions of rats in paeoniflorin low-dose and high-dose groups were reduced， the above quantitative indexes were significantly improved， and the improvement effect was better in high-dose group （P＜0.05）， while ML385 could significantly reverse the improvement effect of paeoniflorin on the above indexes （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Paeoniflorin can improve the abnormal glucose metabolism， inflammation and oxidative stress damage of renal tissue in GDM rats， which may be related to the activation of Nrf2/HO-1/NOQ1 signaling pathway.

Objective : To explore the effect of LncRNA MEG3 in temozolomide (TMZ) resistance of glioma cells. Methods : TMZ⁃resistant glioma cells U87(U87/TMZ) were constructed,qRT⁃PCR was used to detect the LncRNA MEG3 expression level, and MTT was used to detect the cell proliferation ability. The LncRNA MEG3 in U87/TMZ was overexpressed by liposome method (pcDNA⁃MEG3 group), the empty vector was transfected as the empty vector group ( pcDNA group), and the conventionally cultured U87/TMZ was used as the blank group ( Control group),then treated with 10 μg/ml TMZ. The plasmid transfection effect was analyzed by qRT⁃PCR. The expression of LncRNA MEG3⁃related protein was confirmed by Western blot. The cell cloning experiment detects the effect of LncRNA MEG3 on cell proliferation. The effect of LncRNA MEG3 on cell invasion was tested by Transwell. The effect of LncRNA MEG3 on cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. And mouse transplant tumoranimal model was constructed for in vivo experiments. Results : Compared with U87, the expression level of Ln cRNA MEG3 in U87/TMZ was lower (P < 0. 01), and the cell viability of U87/TMZ was higher than that of U87 (P < 0. 01) . After overexpression of MEG3 combined with TMZ, compared with the Control group and the pcDNA group, the pcDNA⁃MEG3 group up⁃regulated the expression of MEG3 mRNA and p53 protein, and down⁃regulated the expression of MDM2 protein, and the proliferation and invasion ability of the pcDNA⁃MEG3 group decreased while the apoptosis ability increased (P < 0. 01) . The construction of mouse transplant tumor animal model showed that the tumor volume and mass of the pcDNA⁃MEG3 group were reduced compared with the pcDNA group (P < 0. 01) . Conclusion Overexpression of LncRNA MEG3 can attenuate the drug resistance of TMZ⁃resistant glioma cells.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of 5-Aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) combined with human interferon α-2β in the treatment of condyloma acuminatum (CA) and its impacts on serum T-cell subsets, chemokine ligand 19 (CCL19), and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) levels. Methods A total of 86 patients with CA were enrolled and randomly divided to control group (treated with ALA-PDT alone) and observation group (treated with ALA-PDT combined with human interferon α-2β), with 43 patients in each group. Clinical efficacy, changes in serum T-cell subsets, CCL19, and MMP-3 levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Adverse reactions during treatment were recorded. Patients were followed up for 6 months to record the number of warts and recurrence rate. Results The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ in the observation group were significantly elevated compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, serum CCL19 levels increased, while MMP-3 levels decreased in the observation group post-treatment compared to the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). The recurrence rate and the number of average recurrent warts were significantly higher in the control group than in the observation group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The combination of ALA-PDT and human interferon α-2β exhibits remarkable efficacy in the treatment of CA, which can effectively regulate serum T-cell subset levels, reduce MMP-3 levels, enhance CCL19 levels, and demonstrates good safety.

OBJECTIVE: To introduce a scout view scanning technique of back-forward bending CT (BFB-CT) in simulated surgical position for evaluating the remaining real angle and flexibility of thoracolumbar kyphosis secondary to old osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. METHODS: A total of 28 patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis secondary to old osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture who met the selection criteria between June 2018 and December 2021 were included in the study. There were 6 males and 22 females with an average age of 69.5 years (range, 56-92 years). The injured vertebra were located at T ₁₀-L ₂, including 11 cases of single thoracic fracture, 11 cases of single lumbar fracture, and 6 cases of multiple thoracolumbar fractures. The disease duration ranged from 3 weeks to 36 months, with a median of 5 months. All patients received examinations of BFB-CT and standing lateral full-spine X-ray (SLFSX). The thoracic kyphosis (TK), thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), local kyphosis of injured vertebra (LKIV), lumbar lordosis (LL), and the sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured. Referring to the calculation method of scoliosis flexibility, the kyphosis flexibility of thoracic, thoracolumbar, and injured vertebra were calculated respectively. The sagittal parameters measured by the two methods were compared, and the correlation of the parameters measured by the two methods was analyzed by Pearson correlation. RESULTS: Except LL ( P>0.05), TK, TLK, LKIV, and SVA measured by BFB-CT were significantly lower than those measured by SLFSX ( P<0.05). The flexibilities of thoracic, thoracolumbar, and injured vertebra were 34.1%±18.8%, 36.2%±13.8%, and 39.3%±18.6%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the sagittal parameters measured by the two methods were positively correlated ( P<0.001), and the correlation coefficients of TK, TLK, LKIV, and SVA were 0.900, 0.730, 0.700, and 0.680, respectively. CONCLUSION Thoracolumbar kyphosis secondary to old osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture shows an excellent flexibility and BFB-CT in simulated surgical position can obtain the remaining real angle which need to be corrected surgically.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effect of Budigafol combined with Staphylococcus and neisseria tablets in maintenance treatment of patients with stable moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）. METHODS A total of 122 patients with stable moderate to severe COPD who were admitted to the infections diseases ward of the department of respiratory and critical care medicine in our hospital from October 1， 2021 to January 31， 2023 were divided into control group （n＝61） and observation group （n＝61） according to the random number table method. Patients in the control group were treated with Budigafol inhalation aerosol alone （2 presses each time， twice a day）， and patients in the observation group were treated with Staphylococcus and neisseria tablets （1.2 mg each time， 3 times a day） on the basis of the control group. The treatment course of both groups was 3 months. The quality of life， exercise tolerance， lung function， inflammatory indexes， immune function， as well as the number of acute attacks of COPD and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. RESULTS Control group and observation group shed 12 and 9 patients， respectively. After treatment， the 6 minute walking distance of the two groups of patients was significantly prolonged compared with that before treatment （P＜0.05）. The COPD assessment test questionnaire score， St George’s respiratory questionnaire score， the ratio of residual volume to total lung capacity， the fractional exhaled nitric oxide， the serum levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 were significantly E-mail：13956685295@163.com decreased compared with those before treatment （P＜0.05）. The forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV1）， the ratio E-mail：13966580920@163.com of FEV1 to forced vital capacity， the percentage of the measured value of carbon monoxide diffusion capacity to the predicted value， and the percentage of the measured value of FEV1 to the predicted value were significantly increased compared with those before treatment （P＜0.05）. The improvement of the above indicators in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group （P＜0.05）. Compared with before treatment， there was no statistical significance in the immune function indexes of the control group or the serum levels of immunoglobulin A （IgA） and IgM in the observation group after treatment （P＞0.05）. The percentages of CD3+ ， CD4+ ， B lymphocytes and natural killer cells， the levels of CD4+/CD8+ and IgG were significantly increased in the observation group （P＜ 0.05）， the percentage of CD8+ cells was significantly decreased （P＜0.05）， and the improvement degree of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group （P＜0.05）. There was no significant difference in the number of acute exacerbations of COPD during the follow-up period and the incidence of adverse events during treatment between the two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Budigafol combined with Staphylococcus and neisseria tablets can effectively improve the immune function of patients with stable moderate to severe COPD， further reduce the level of inflammation， and improve their exercise tolerance and their quality of life with good safety.

Objective : To analyze the application value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the detection of pathogenic bacteria in pulmonary infection ，and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis. Methods : A retrospective study was conducted on 161 patients with suspected pulmonary infection，and samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ，sputum and lung tissue were collected specimens ，pleural effusion and blood were simultaneously subjected to routine culture，respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection and pathogenic microorgan- ism mNGS detection．The sensitivity ，specificity，positive predictive value ，and negative predictive value of the three detection methods were calculated respectively to evaluate the clinical application value of mNGS. Results: Among 161 patients with suspected pulmonary infection，113 cases were finally confirmed as pulmonary infection. Among the 161 patients enrolled，the sensitivity and negative predictive value of mNGS were improved compared with routine culture and nucleic acid detection of respiratory pathogens，and the difference was statistically signifi- cant(P＜0. 001) ．Although the specificity of mNGS was higher than that of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid de- tection，the difference was not statistically significant．The positive predictive value of mNGS was the highest，and was higher than that of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection，but had no statistical significance compared with conventional culture． Conclusion The sensitivity of mNGS in the diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms in pul- monary infection is higher than that of conventional culture and nucleic acid detection of respiratory pathogens， which reduces the false negative rate of diagnosis and has a better comprehensive evaluation ; conventional culture detection has low sensitivity，but high specificity ; respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection compared with con- ventional culture，the sensitivity is improved，but the specificity decreased.
