Objective:To investigate the effects of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 on hippocampal neuroinflammation and cognitive function of mice after whole brain radiotherapy. Methods:A total of sixty male C57BL/6J mice aged 7-8 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups with 12 mice in each group: control group (Con group), probiotic group (BB-12 group), irradiation group (IR group), irradiation and Memantine group (IR+ Memantine group), irradiation and probiotic group (IR+ BB-12 group). The model of radiation-induced brain injury of mice was established by 10 Gy whole brain radiotherapy with a medical linear accelerator. Y-maze test was used to evaluate the cognitive function. The activation of microglia and astrocytes was observed by immunofluorescence staining. The expressions of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) and Western blot.Results:Y-maze test showed that, compared with Con group, the percentage of the times of reaching the novel arm in the total times of the three arms decreased significantly in the IR group ( t=5.04, P<0.05). BB-12 mitigated radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction ( t=4.72, P<0.05). Compared with Con group, the number ( t=3.05, 7.18, P<0.05) and circularity index ( t=6.23, 2.52, P<0.05) of Iba1 and GFAP positive cells were increased, the microglia and astrocytes were activated in the hippocampus of IR group, but these alterations were eliminated by BB-12. After whole brain IR, the mRNA and protein expression levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the hippocampus of mice were significantly increased compared with Con group ( tmRNA =4.10, 3.04, 4.18, P<0.05; tprotein=11.49, 7.04, 8.42, P<0.05), which were also significantly reduced by BB-12 compared with IR group ( tmRNA=4.20, 3.40, 2.84, P<0.05; tprotein=6.36, 4.03, 3.75, P<0.05). Conclusions:Bifidobacterium animalis BB-12 can suppress neuroinflammation mediated by microglia and astrocytes in the hippocampus of mice after radiotherapy and alleviates IR-induced cognitive dysfunction. Therefore, BB-12 has potential application in alleviating radiation induced brain injury.

Objective To analyze the blind area monitoring and independent image acquisition function of gastroscopic elves ( a real-time gastroscopic monitoring system) in gastroscopy. Methods A total of 38522 gastroscopic images from the database of Digestive Endoscopy Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were collected to train and validate the gastroscopic elves. Using computer to generate random numbers, 91 gastroscopic videos were selected to assess the position recognition accuracy of the gastroscopic elves, and 45 gastroscopic videos and matching gastroscopic images collected by endoscopists were selected to compare the coverage number and rate of gastroscopy sites between gastroscopic elves and endoscopists image acquisition. Two endoscopists entered the study to perform gastroscopies with or without gastroscopic elves. Forty-five gastroscopies respectively performed by the endoscopist A before and after usage of gastroscopic elves were collected, and 42 gastroscopies divided into 20 and 22 performed by the endoscopist B without use of gastroscopic elves in the same period were also collected. The coverage rate of gastroscopy sites was compared between the two endoscopists. Results The total position recognition accuracy of gastroscopic elves was 85. 125% ( 1156/1358) . The coverage rate of gastroscopic sites for the endoscopist A was (76. 790±8. 848)% and (87. 325±7. 065)%, respectively, before and after using gastroscopic elves, and the coverage rate in the same period for the endoscopist B was (75. 926 ±11. 565)% and (75. 253 ± 14. 662)%, respectively. The coverage rate before using gastroscopic elves had no statistical difference between the two endoscopists (t=0. 324, P=0. 747). The coverage rate for the endoscopist A after using gastroscopic elves was higher than that before using gastroscopic elves ( t=6. 222, P=0. 001) , and that of the endoscopist B in the same period ( t'=3. 588, P=0. 002) . The coverage number and rate of gastroscopy sites for gastroscopic elves and endoscopists image acquisition were 20. 956 ± 3. 406 and ( 77. 613 ± 12. 613)%, and 15. 467 ± 2. 296 and ( 57. 284 ± 8. 503)%, respectively, with statistical differences ( t=11. 523, P=0. 000; t=11. 523, P=0. 000). Conclusion Gastroscopic elves can improve the coverage number and rate of gastroscopy sites, and is worthy of promotion in clinics.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) system on the diagnosis rate of precancerous state of gastric cancer.Methods:A single center self-controlled study was conducted under the premise that such factors were controlled as mainframe and model of the endoscope, operating doctor, season and climate, and pathology was taken as the gold standard. The diagnosis rate of precancerous state of gastric cancer, including atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) in traditional gastroscopy (from September 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019) and AI assisted endoscopy (from September 1, 2020 to November 15, 2020) in the Eighth Hospital of Wuhan was statistically analyzed and compared, and the subgroup analysis was conducted according to the seniority of doctors.Results:Compared with traditional gastroscopy, AI system could significantly improve the diagnosis rate of AG [13.3% (38/286) VS 7.4% (24/323), χ2=5.689, P=0.017] and IM [33.9% (97/286) VS 26.0% (84/323), χ2=4.544, P=0.033]. For the junior doctors (less than 5 years of endoscopic experience), AI system had a more significant effect on the diagnosis rate of AG [11.9% (22/185) VS 5.8% (11/189), χ2=4.284, P=0.038] and IM [30.3% (56/185) VS 20.6% (39/189), χ2=4.580, P=0.032]. For the senior doctors (more than 10 years of endoscopic experience), although the diagnosis rate of AG and IM increased slightly, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion:AI system shows the potential to improve the diagnosis rate of precancerous state of gastric cancer, especially for junior endoscopists, and to reduce missed diagnosis of early gastric cancer.

Test set A included 422 noncancerous lesions and 197 EGC images under ME-BLI. Test set B included 422 noncancerous lesions and 197 EGC images under ME-NBI. Test set C was the combination of test set A and B (844 noncancerous and 394 EGC images under ME-BLI and ME-NBI). Five models were constructed according to these five data sets respectively and their performance was evaluated in the three test sets. Per-lesion video was collected and used to compare the performance of deep convolutional neural network models under ME-BLI and ME-NBI for the detection of EGC in clinical environment, and compared with four senior endoscopy doctors. The primary endpoint was the diagnostic accuracy of EGG, sensitivity and specificity. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:The performance of model 1 was the best in test set A with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 76.90% (476/619), 63.96% (126/197) and 82.94% (350/422), respectively. The performance of model 2 was the best in test set B with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 86.75% (537/619), 92.89% (183/197) and 83.89% (354/422), respectively. The performance of model 3 was the best in test set B with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 86.91% (538/619), 84.26% (166/197) and 88.15% (372/422), respectively. The performance of model 4 was the best in test set B with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 85.46% (529/619), 95.43% (188/197) and 80.81% (341/422), respectively. The performance of model 5 was the best in test set B, with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 83.52% (517/619), 96.95% (191/197) and 77.25% (326/422), respectively. In terms of image recognition of EGC, the accuracy of models 2 to 5 was higher than that of model 1, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=147.90, 149.67, 134.20 and 115.30, all P<0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of models 2 and 3 were higher than those of model 1, the specificity of model 2 was lower than that of model 3, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=131.65, 64.15, 207.60, 262.03 and 96.73, all P < 0.01). The sensitivity of models 4 and 5 was higher than those of models 1 to 3, and the specificity of models 4 and 5 was lower than those of models 1 to 3, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=151.16, 165.49, 71.35, 112.47, 132.62, 153.14, 176.93, 74.62, 14.09, 15.47, 6.02 and 5.80, all P<0.05). The results of video test based on lesion showed that the average accuracy of doctors 1 to 4 was 68.16%. And the accuracy of models 1 to 5 was 69.47% (66/95), 69.47% (66/95), 70.53% (67/95), 76.84% (73/95) and 80.00% (76/95), respectively. There were no significant differences in the accuracy among models 1 to 5 and between models 1 to 5 and doctors 1 to 4 (all P>0.05). Conclusions:ME-BLI EGC recognition model based on deep learning has good accuracy, but the diagnostic effecacy is sligntly worse than that of ME-NBI model. The effects of EGC recognition model of ME-NBI combined with ME-BLI is better than that of a single model. A more sensitive ME-NBI model can be obtained by increasing the number of ME-NBI images, especially the images of EGG, but the specificity is worse.
