Objective:
To investigate the clinical features and reliable diagnostic method in HIV/AIDS patients with smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).
Methods:
Clinical data of 112 HIV/AIDS patients complicated with smear negative pulmonary TB who were treated in our hospital from January 2013 to September 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. These clinical data includeded clinical symptom, blood routine test, blood biochemistry, T lymphocyte subsets classification, sputum acid-fast bacillus smear, mycobacterium tuberculosis culture, purified protein derivatives tuberculin (PPD) test, interferon gamma-release assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (T-SPOT.TB), TB-DNA and chest computed tomography (CT). Diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of these parameters were analyzed.
Results:
No specific clinical manifestation of these patients was identified. The chest CT feature was also atypical. The positive rates including T-SPOT, TB, TB-DNA and PPD test were all low. The positive rates of T-SPOT.TB and PPD test in patients with a CD4+ cell count >200 cells/μl was significantly higher than that of patients with a CD4+ cell count ≤50 cells/μl and 51≤CD4≤200 cells/μl (

Objective:To analyze the sleep quality before treatment and related risk factors of sleep disorder in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: Totally 143 patients first diagnosed as nasopharyngeal carcinoma were selected [ average age (43 ± 10) years, 100 males and 43 females] in a NPC ward of one hospital, the Chinese version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI, total score > 5 diagnosed as sleep disorder) was used to investigate the sleep quality before treatment, and the logistic regression analysis was used to analyze related factors of the sleep disorder before treatment Results: The rate of sleep disorder was 50.3%. The logistic regression analysis showed that age was a risk factor of sleep disorder before treatment in patients with NPC (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.08), while gender, culture degree, clinical stage, body mass index were not correlated with sleep disorder (Ps>0.05). Conclusion: It suggests that patients with NPC may have a higher incidence of sleep disorder before treatment, and older patients may be more prone to pre-treatment sleep disorder.

Objective To investigate a diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) detection algorithm based on transfer learning in small sample dataset. Methods Total of 4465 fundus color photographs taken by Gaoyao People ' s Hospital was used as the full dataset. The model training strategies using fixed pre-trained parameters and fine-tuning pre-trained parameters were used as the transfer learning group to compare with the non-transfer learning strategy that randomly initializes parameters. These three training strategies were applied to the training of three deep learning networks:ResNet50,Inception V3 and NASNet. In addition,a small dataset randomly extracted from the full dataset was used to study the impact of the reduction of training data on different strategies. The accuracy and training time of the diagnostic model were used to analyze the performance of different training strategies. Results The best results in different network architectures were chosen. The accuracy of the model obtained by fine-tuning pre-training parameters strategy was 90. 9%,which was higher than the strategy of fixed pre-training parameters (88. 1%) and the strategy of randomly initializing parameters ( 88. 4%) . The training time for fixed pre-training parameters was 10 minutes,less than the strategy of fine-tuning pre-training parameters ( 16 hours ) and the strategy of randomly initializing parameters (24 hours). After the training data was reduced,the accuracy of the model obtained by the strategy of randomly initializing parameters decreased by 8. 6% on average,while the accuracy of the transfer learning group decreased by 2. 5% on average. Conclusions The proposed automated and novel DR detection algorithm based on fine-tune and NASNet structure maintains high accuracy in small sample dataset,is found to be robust,and effective for the preliminary diagnosis of DR.

Estrogen is an important hormone secreted by the female reproductive system. Its main function is associated with reproduction, growth and development. Studies have shown that estrogen has biological functions such as regulating vasoconstriction, antioxidant stress, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotection, and also affects brain structure and network. Studies have shown that estrogen is closely associated with the occurrence and development of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs). This article reviews the relationship between estrogen and menopausal hormone replacement therapy and WMHs, and their possible pathophysiological mechanisms.
