Objective:To investigate the value of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted quantitative measurement in evaluation of the dynamic changes of CT for COVID-19 pneumonia.Methods:The clinical and chest CT dynamic imaging data of 99 patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia who were hospitalized in Wuhan Central Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 15, 2020 to March 10, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the definitive diagnosis, the 99 patients were classified into common ( n=36), severe ( n=33) and critical ( n=30) type, the CT imaging findings of each type were analyzed, including CT basic signs, total volume of pneumonia lesions and percentage of pneumonia lesions of the total lung volume (volume ratio). AI software was used to quantitatively evaluate the dynamic changes of chest CT images. The quantitative indicators included CT peak time of lesions, total volume of lesions peak, volume ratio of lesions peak, maximum growth rate of total volume and maximum growth rate of volume ratio. Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used to compare the difference of quantitative indexes between the 3 types, and χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability test was used to compare the difference of qualitative indexes between the 3 types. Sequence measurement and scatter plots were used to show the evolution trend of the volume ratio of the three types of COVID-19 pneumonia lesions. The ROC curve was used to analyze the value of the volume ratio of pneumonia lesions and its maximum growth rate in predicting the conversion of common pneumonia to severe or critical pneumonia. Results:There were statistically significant differences in age and gender distribution among patients with common, severe and critical COVID-19 ( P<0.05), the age of severe and critical types were significantly higher than that of common type ( P<0.01). Compared with common [2.5 (1.0, 5.0) d] and critical type[2.5 (1.0, 4.0) d], the time from onset to the first chest CT scan of severe type was prolonged [5.0 (2.5, 8.0) d, P<0.01]. There were statistically significant differences in involvement of multiple lung lobes (20 cases, 29 cases, 25 cases, χ2=10.403, P=0.006) in patients with common, severe and critical COVID-19 at the first scan, the incidence of the involvement of multiple lung lobes in severe and critical types was significantly higher than that of common type ( P=0.002). The volume ratios of patients with common, severe and critical COVID-19 at the first scan were statistically significant [1.0% (0.2%, 4.7%), 9.30% (1.63%, 26.83%), 2.10% (0.64%, 8.61%), Z=14.236, P=0.001], and the volume ratio of severe type was significantly higher than that of common type ( P<0.001), there was no statistically significant difference between common type and critical type ( P=0.062). Follow-up CT showed that the pneumonia lesions showed a dynamic transformation of progress and recovery, and it was seen that the coexistence of multiphase lesions. The trend line in the scatter plot of the three types of COVID-19 pneumonia lesions showed that the lesions in the advanced stage developed from less to more. The lesion peak volume ratios of the common, severe and critical types were 9.75% (4.83%, 13.18%), 29.80% (23.99%, 42.36%) and 61.81% (43.73%, 72.82%), respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=74.147, P<0.001). The maximum growth rates of lesion volume ratio were 1.27% (0.50%, 1.81%)/d, 4.39% (3.16%, 5.54%)/d and 6.02% (4.77%, 9.96%)/d, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=52.453, P<0.001). The peak times of lesions were 12.0 (9.0, 15.0) d, 13.0 (10.0, 16.0) d and 16.5 (12.0, 25.0)d, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=9.524, P=0.009). Taking the volume ratio of pneumonia lesion 22.60% and the maximum growth rate of the volume ratio 1.875%/d as the boundary value, the sensitivity of diagnosing common type to severe or critical type was 92.10% and 96.83%, and the specificity was 100% and 80.56%, respectively. The area under the curve was 0.987 and 0.925, respectively. Conclusions:The lesions of COVID-19 pneumonia show a similar parabolic change on CT imaging. The use of AI technology to dynamitcally and accurately measure the CT pneumonia lesion volume ratio is helpful to evaluate the severity of the disease and predict the development trend of the disease. Patients with a rapid growth of volume ratio are more likely to become severe or critical type.

Objective To investigate the effect of interfering Hiwi gene on the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells. Methods The mRNA and protein expression of Hiwi mRNA and its target protein were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western Blot after transfection. MDA-MB-231 cells were divided into 6 groups according to the experimental design. Interference effects were screened as siRNA interference group (Hiwi10330 group), and then divided into 3 groups according to the experimental design: interference group, negative control group/NC, blank control group/Blank. The cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry after transfection. Results The expression of mRNA in the interference group was significantly lower than that in the siRNA group (P < 0.05), the expression of target protein of Hiwi gene was also significantly inhibited (P < 0.05). The apoptosis rate of MDA-MB-231 cells was significantly higher than that of NC and Blank groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The apoptosis rate of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 was significantly increased after siRNA targeting hiwi gene silencing.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of adjusted Narcotrend Index (NI) value guidancecombined with small-dose esketamine for program-controlled closed-loop target-controlled infusion (TCI) system.Methods:Forty-eight American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠ or Ⅱpatients, regardless of gender, aged 18-55 yr, with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, were assigned to control group (group C, NI baseline value median 36) and esketamine group(group E, NI baseline value median 46) using a random number table method, with 24 cases in each group. Anesthesia induction and maintenance were carried out using effect-site concentration TCI(Schnider model for propofol infusion and Minto model for remifentanil infusion). After the NI value was maintained at 26-46 during anesthesia maintenance, a small dose of esketamine was given (as an intravenous bolus 0.2 mg/kg, followed by an infusion of 5 μg·kg -1·min -1for 30 min) in group E, and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C. Program-controlled closed-loop TCI was then started, and the target effect-site concentrations of propofol and remifentanil were adjusted every 5 min according to the corresponding preset NI baseline value. The main outcome measures were the percentage of time of NI value maintained in the target range within 1 h after administration of esketamine. Secondary outcome measures were the consumption of propofol and remifentanil, postoperative recovery time, incidence of nausea and vomiting, pain and shivering within 1 h after surgery. Patients were followed for intraoperative awareness on 2nd day after operation. Results:The performance of the program-controlled closed-loop TCI systems was within the safe clinical threshold, with no intraoperative awareness occurred in both groups. The consumption of propofol and remifentanil was significantly reduced in group E as compared to group C( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the percentage of time of NI value maintained in the target range, postoperative recovery time and incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Adjusted NI value guidance combined with small-dose esketamine provides better efficacy when used for program-controlled closed-loop TCI system.

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles commonly detected in numerous body fluids and contain a variety of components such as proteins,nucleic acids,lipids,and metabolites.These components enable exosomes to mediate intercellular communication and impact diverse cellular processes.Recently,research has highlighted that exosomes have a significant regulatory role in numerous aspects of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)occur-rence,development,and drug resistance.Non-coding RANs,a crucial component of exosomes,can regulate the HCC tumour microenvironment with a direct impact on biological behaviours such as tumour growth,metastasis,angiogenesis,and immunomodulation.To this end,exosomes present an interesting avenue for further research in the field of HCC therapy.It is anticipated to become a novel diagnostic,prognostic marker,or therapeutic target for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Our review of the role played by exosomal components in HCC progression over the last five years aims to furnish references and innovative perspectives for early diagnosis,prognosis,and treatment of HCC.
