Objective:To construct an intelligent performance measurement system of gastrointestinal endoscopy and to analyze its value for endoscopic quality improvement.Methods:The intelligent gastrointestinal endoscopy performance measurement system was developed by using the deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and deep reinforcement learning, based on the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. Images were acquired of patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy at Digestive Endoscopy Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2016 to October 2018. The system applied cecum recognition model (DCNN1), images in vitro and in vivo recognition model (DCNN2), and identification model at 26 gastric sites (DCNN3) to monitor indices such as cecal intubation rate, colonoscopic withdrawal time, gastroscopic inspection time, and gastroscopic coverage. Images of 83 gastroscopies and 205 colonoscopies acquired at Digestive Endoscopy Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from March to November 2019 were randomly selected to examine the effectiveness of the system. Results:The intelligent gastrointestinal endoscopy performance measurement system consisted of quality analysis of both gastroscopy and colonoscopy, including all indices, and could be generated automatically at any time. The accuracy for cecal intubation rate, colonoscopic withdrawal time, gastroscopic inspection time, and gastroscopic coverage were 92.5% (172/186), 91.7% (188/205), 100.0% (83/83), 89.3% (1 928/2 158), respectively.Conclusion:The intelligent performance measurement system for gastrointestinal endoscopy can be recommended for the quality control of gastrointestinal endoscopy, from which endoscopists can get feedback and improve the quality of gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Objective To evaluate the expression of substance P (SP) and caltenin gene related peptide (CGRP) in esophagueal mucosa from patients with non-erosive gnstroesophageal reflux disease (NERD) and reflux esophagitis (RE) and to explore their role in the development of NERD. Methods Fif-ty-one patients with typical symptoms of gnstroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were evaluated with reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ), PPI test, endoscopy and 24hr esophageal pH monitoring. The patients were then divided into RE group (n = 21), NERD group with acid refluux (NERD+, n = 12) and NERD group without acid reflux (NERD-, n = 18) according to the evaluation results. The expression of SP and CGRP in esophagus mucosa from these patients and 10 healthy control subjects were assayed by immunohistochemis-try, and the stain positive index (PI) was calculated by Color patho-image analysis software and compared. Results The PIs of SP and CGRP in NERD- group were 96.77±31.74 and 24.76±29.15, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of NERD+ group (73.64±31.38, 9.78±10.30, respectively, P < 0.05), RE group (67.56±34.62, 9.61±6.20, respectively, P < 0.05) and control group (59.82± 46.15, 8.64±12.12, respectively, P < 0.05). Conclusion Expressions of SP and CGRP in esophagus mucosa from NERD patients without detectable acid reflux are significantly increased, they may play an im-portant role in esophageal visceral sensitivity.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of surgical site infection(SSI)in neurosurgical patients in a tertiary first-class hospital,and provide reference for the prevention and control of SSI.Methods 47 neurological patients with SSI (49 patients developed SSI,2 were excluded from study due to the lack of appropriate control subject)from December 31 ,2011 to December 31 ,2012 were as infected group,and 94 patients without SSI (1 ∶2 matching)were as non-infected group,risk factors for SSI were analyzed retrospectively.Results There was no significant difference in general condition of two groups of patients (all P >0.05 );among 3 708 patients,49 (1 .32%)developed SSI;intracranial infection was the main type of SSI (89.80%);27 patients were performed ce-rebrospinal fluid (CSF)bacteriological detection,6 (22.22%)of whom were positive for CSF bacteriological detec-tion.Univariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for SSI in neurosurgical patients were operational risk assessment score (OR =2.04),frequency of preoperative antimicrobial use(OR =3.15 ),fre-quency of intraoperative antimicrobial use(OR=2.58),duration of operation(OR=2.70),surgical blood loss(OR=1 .72),indwelling drainage tube(OR=4.30),duration of indwelling drainage tube after operation(OR=2.06),and time for initial dressing change(OR=1 .66);Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed that the in-dependent risk factors for SSI were frequency of preoperative antimicrobial use(P =0.03,OR =4.86),duration of operation(P =0.05,OR = 2.89 ),and time for initial dressing change after operation (P = 0.01 ,OR = 1 .92 ). Conclusion Risk factors for SSI in department of neurosurgery are multiple,duration of operation,duration of in-dwelling drainage tube after operation,and time for initial dressing change after operation are major risk factors.

Objective To find out whether conversation analysis helps to differentiate psychogenic nonepileptic seizure (PNES) from epileptic seizure in Chinese patients.Methods Twelve unselected patients from Peking Union Medical College Hospital during 2014 to 2016 with diagnostic uncertainty were included.Interactions following standard protocol were carried out.A linguist blinded to all medical data and a neurologist studied videos and transcripts of the interactions.Using a diagnostic scoring aid which includes 17 conversation features summarized from previous researches, they attempted to predict the medical diagnosis of those patients independently.Results Accurate diagnosis was predicted in 10/12 patients by both raters.Average scores of patients with epileptic seizures were 8.00 (linguist) and 6.75 (neurologist), while average scores of paitents with PNES were-5.75 (linguist) and-7.88 (neurologist).Both raters agreed on most individual items (81.86%, 167/204).To demonstrate different features between these two groups, a case comparison was made between one patient with frontal lobe epilepsy and one patient with PNES.Conclusion In Chinese patients, conversation analysis can help differentiate between epileptic seizure and PNES.

Objective:To evaluate the intelligent performance measurement system for colonoscopy.Methods:Nine endoscopists from Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were randomly assigned to the quality control group and the control group based on inclusion and exclusion criteria by the random number table. In the pre-quality-control stage (from April 20, 2019 to May 30, 2019), colonoscopic data acquired by the enrolled endoscopists were collected. In the training stage (June 1-30, 2019), the quality control group was trained on the quality control knowledge and the use of intelligent gastrointestinal endoscopy performance measurement system; but the control group was only trained on the quality control knowledge.In the post-quality-control stage (from July 1, 2019 to August 20, 2019), a weekly quality feedback was given to endoscopists of the quality control group, while the endoscopists of the control group had no quality control report.Then, the colonoscopic data acquired by enrolled endoscopists were prospectively collected during the period. The primary endpoint was adenoma detection rate. The secondary endpoints were withdrawal time, polyp detection rate and cecal intubation rate.Results:Four endoscopists were assigned to the quality control group and five to the control group. A total of 1 471 colonoscopic procedures were analyzed. The detection rates of adenoma and polyp in the quality control group increased with feedbacks[13.7% (45/329) VS 7.1% (24/338), χ2=55.796, P<0.001; 48.9% (161/329) VS 40.2% (136/338), χ2=4.071, P=0.044], while there were no significant differences in the control group [9.3% (37/398) VS 9.1% (37/406), χ2=0.329, P=0.566; 33.9% (135/398) VS 33.0% (134/496), χ2=3.616, P=0.057]. The withdrawal time in the quality control group increased with feedbacks[5.9 (3.9, 7.3) min VS 4.1 (2.8, 6.1) min, Z=6.965, P<0.001], while there was no significant difference in this variable in the control group [3.9 (2.7, 6.1) min VS 3.6 (2.6, 5.8) min, Z=1.355, P=0.175]. Conclusion:The intelligent performance measurement system for gastrointestinal endoscopy with feedbacks can monitor and improve the colonoscopic quality.

Objective To investigate the immunological pathogenesis of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) during highly active antiretroviral therapy( HAART), in this prospective cohort study we analyzed the lymphocyte subsets, lymphocyte activation, changes in regulatory T cells, and levels of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in both IRIS and non-IRIS groups. Methods Two hundred and thirty-eight AIDS patients received HAART and participated prospective research cohort for 24 weeks follow-up. Forty-seven IRIS cases and 191 non-IRIS cases were enrolled in the IRIS group or non-IRIS group respectively. Blood samples were collected in both groups at pre- and post-HAART 12 weeks, 24 weeks. Using flow cytometer to detect the immunophenotypes of lymphocyte subsets (CD4 + CD45RA+ CD62L+, CD8+ CD45RA+ CD62L+naive T cells; CD4+ CD45RO+, CD8+ CD45RO+ memory T cells), activated T lymphocytes (CD4+CD38 +, CD8 + CD38 + cells), and regulatory T cell ( CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + ). Blood samples collected at pre-and post-HAART4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and used ELISA to detect IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10and IL-7 cytokine serum levels. Results The percentages of CD4 + and CD8 + naive T cells and mlemory T cells exhibited no significant differences at the baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks of HAART initiation between both groups, but CD4 + and CD8 + memory T cells were demonstrated a trend towards to increase while compared to baseline during HAART. The percentages of CD4 + and CD8 + activated T cells are significantly higher at the baseline while compared to normal control and demonstrated a downward trend, but between both groups showed no significant difference. The percentages of CD4 + regulatory T cell was lower in IRIS group than non-IRIS group at the baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and the onset of IRIS. Th1 cytokines, IL-2 and IFN-γshowed an upward trend during HAART at the levels of IRIS group had significantly increased at 4 weeks and the onset of IRIS. Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-10 showed a downward trend during HAART,and the levels of IL-10 in IRIS group had significantly decreased at 4 weeks and the onset of IRIS. IL-7 was higher than normal control at the baseline in two groups and showed a downward trend during HAART. The level of IL-7 was higher than non-IRIS group at all follow-up points. Conclusion Memory T cells appear rapid increase in the early stage of HAART and may play a significant role in the inflammatory response of IRIS. CD4 + and CD8 + naive T cells, memory T cells and activated T cells showed no significant difference between IRIS and non-IRIS group within 24 weeks after HAART started. There was a significant reduction in the frequency of regulatory T cells in IRIS group without obvious upward trend during HAART, suggesting that the immune suppression function of regulatory T cells in IRIS was impaired. IL-2 and IFN-γ significantly increased while IL-10 significantly decreased at 4 weeks post-HAART initiation and onset of IRIS in IRISgroup than non-IRIS group, suggested that IRIS was related to cytokines environment disorder. That is, a significant increase in inflammatory cytokines, while the relative lack of non-inflammatory cytokines. The level of IL-7 decreased gradually after HAART started, and it was higher in IRIS group when compared to non-IRIS group in the first 24 weeks after HAART started. Also IL-7 may play a role in the pathogenesis of IRIS.

Objective:To evaluate the intelligent gastrointestinal endoscopy quality control system in gastroscopy.Methods:Fourteen endoscopists from Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were assigned to the quality-control group and the control group by the random number table. In the pre-quality-control stage (from April 20, 2019 to May 31, 2019), data of gastroscopies performed by the enrolled endoscopists were collected. In the training stage (June 1 to 30, 2019), the quality-control group was trained in quality control knowledge and the instructions of intelligent gastrointestinal endoscopy quality control system; but the control group was only trained in quality control knowledge. In the post-quality-control stage (from July 1, 2019 to August 20, 2019), a quality report was submitted weekly to the endoscopists in the quality-control group with a review and feedback, while the control group had no quality control report. Simultaneously, the gastroscopies performed by the enrolled endoscopists were collected during the period. Changes of precancerous lesion detection rate in the two groups were compared.Results:Seven endoscopists were assigned to each group. A total of 3 446 gastroscopies were included in the pre-quality-control stage ( n=1 651, including 753 cases in the quality-control group and 898 cases in the control group) and post-quality-control stage (n=1 795, including 892 cases in the quality-control group and 903 cases in the control group). The detection rate of precancerous lesions in the quality-control group increased by 3.6% [3.3% (29/892) VS 6.9% (52/753), χ2=11.65, P<0.01], while that of the control group increased by 0.4% [3.3% (30/903) VS 3.7% (33/898), χ2=0.17, P=0.684]. Conclusion:The intelligent gastrointestinal endoscopy quality control system with a review and feedback could monitor and improve the quality of gastroscopy.
