We studied the influence of the concentration of Ca2+ (0-50 mmol/L) in culture medium on the synthesis of rosmarinic acid (RA) and related enzymes in Salvia miltiorrhiza suspension cultures. Using verpamil (VP, a calcium channel antagonist) and ionophore A23187, we studied the mechanism of secondary metabolites of Salvia miltiorrhiza suspension cultures influenced by the concentration of Ca2+ in the culture medium. The synthesis of intracellular RA in 6-day incubation was significantly dependent on the medium Ca2+ concentration. At the optimal Ca2+ concentration of 10 mmol/L, a maximal RA content of 20.149 mg/g biomass dry weight was reached, which was about 37.3% and 20.4% higher than that at Ca2+ concentrations of 1 and 3 mmol/L, respectively. The variation of the activity of PAL and TAT, two key enzymes of the two branches of RA, could be affected by the concentration of Ca2+ in culture medium. The change of their activity occurred prior to the accumulation of RA, which suggested both of the key enzymes be involved in the synthesis of RA. Meanwhile, the enzymatic action of PAL was more distinct than TAT. The treatment of VP and A23187, respectively, indicated that the influence of RA affected by the concentration of Ca2+ in the culture medium was accomplished by the intracellular Ca2+, and the flow of Ca2+ from the extracellular to the intracellular environment could also participate in this process.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and application value of an automated method for generation of surgical records for resection of benign soft tissue tumor based on dense video descriptions.Methods:The Transformer deep learning model was used to establish an automated surgical record generation system to analyze the surgical videos of 30 patients with benign soft tissue tumor who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Military Medical University from September 2021 to August 2023. The patient data were randomly divided into training sets, validation sets, and test sets in a ratio of 8∶1∶1. In the test sets, 7 evaluation indexes, BLEU-1, BLEU-2, BLEU-3, BLEU-4, Meteor, Rouge, and CIDEr, were used to evaluate the text quality of surgical records generated by the model. The text of surgical records was compared with the classical algorithm, dense video captioning with paralled decoding (PDVC) in the field of video-intensive description.Results:The automated surgical record generation system running in the test sets showed the following: BLEU-1, BLEU-2, BLEU-3, BLEU-4, Rouge, Meteor, and CIDEr were 16.80, 15.23, 13.01, 11.68, 16.01, 12.67 and 62.30, respectively. The operation of the classical algorithm PDVC showed the following: BLEU-1, BLEU-2, BLEU-3, BLEU-4, Rouge, Meteor, and CIDEr were 15.63, 14.17, 11.90, 10.45, 12.97, 11.99 and 53.64, respectively. The automated surgical record generation system resulted in significant improvements compared with PDVC in all evaluation indexes. The BLEU-4, Rouge, Meteor, and CIDEr were improved by 1.23, 3.04, 0.68 and 8.66, respectively, demonstrating that the system proposed can better capture the key data in the video to help generate more effective text records.Conclusion:As the automated surgical record generation system shows good performance in generating surgical records for resection of benign soft tissue tumor based on intensive video descriptions, it can be applied in clinical practice.
