Objective:To analyze and compare the risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke and understand the exposure levels in population.Methods:A cohort study of risk factors of stroke was conducted in a rural community in Fengxian District of Shanghai in 2003, and the common risk factors of stroke were investigated at baseline survey, the cerebrovascular hemodynamics indexes were detected, the cerebrovascular function score was calculated according to the unified integral rule, and the incidence of stroke was observed in follow up. The risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke were analyzed by cohort study. The risk factors for two subtypes of stroke were compared.Result:A total of 10 565 participants were included in the study, with a mean follow-up period of (11.15±2.26) years, and 103 hemorrhagic stroke cases and 268 ischemic stroke cases were observed during follow-up period. The independent risk factors of hemorrhagic stroke included decreased cerebrovascular function score [hazard ratio ( HR)=1.56, 95% CI: 1.23-1.98], history of alcohol consumption ( HR=2.46, 95% CI: 1.39-4.34), hypertension ( HR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.00-3.07) and older age ( HR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.04-1.10). The independent risk factors of ischemic stroke included decreased cerebrovascular function score ( HR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.25-1.65), smoking history ( HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.13-2.05), hypertension ( HR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.10-2.07), family history of stroke ( HR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.13-3.15), left ventricular hypertrophy ( HR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.07-2.81) and older age ( HR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.05-1.08). Conclusions:Decreased cerebrovascular function score, hypertension, and older age were common independent risk factors of both types of stroke, alcohol consumption history was an independent risk factor of hemorrhagic stroke, and smoking history, and family history of stroke and left ventricular hypertrophy were independent risk factors of ischemic stroke.

Objective To identify the pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis in bloodstream infec-tions with high confidence based on three deep learning models such as GoogleNet,ResNet101,and Vgg19,compare the performance and classification ability of these models,and explore the feasibility of applying the deep learning models for the rapid identification of pathogenic bacteria in bloodstream infections.Methods The preprocessed Gram-stained bacterial images,including 1 682 images for Staphylococcus aureus and 1 723 for Enterococcus faecalis,and 688 blank control microscopic images were input into three models for training and validation,respectively.Among them,1 344 images for Staphylococcus aureus,1 376 for Enterococcus faecalis,and 544 blank control images were used for training,and the remaining images were used for validation.The model with the best performance was identified according to the classification parameters between the models.Results The ResNet101 model had the lowest cross-en-tropy loss value(0.008 710 3),the largest Epoch value(93),and the highest accuracy rate(99%)for identifying the three types of validation set images.The cross-entropy loss value,Epoch value,and accuracy rate of the GoogleNet model were 0.063 89,86 and 98.6%,respectively,for identifying the three types of validation set images.Those of the Vgg19 model were 0.035 682,86 and 97.7%,respectively.Conclusion The ResNet101 model has the best performance in the classification of three kinds of images.The deep learning model may accurately,reliably and rapidly identify the Gram-stained images of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis in bloodstream infections.

AIM: To investigate the effect of the relationship between scotopic pupil and optical zone diameters on short-term subjective and objective visual quality after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE).METHODS:In this prospective cohort study, 98 patients(196 eyes)who underwent SMILE from September 2021 to June 2023 were included. Participants were divided into two groups based on the ratio of scotopic pupil diameter to optical zone diameter: group A(ratio >1, 70 eyes)and group B(ratio ≤1, 126 eyes). The preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), spherical equivalent(SE), total corneal high-order aberrations at 4, 6, and 8 mm of pupil diameters, objective scatter index(OSI), pre- and post-operative QoV subjective visual quality questionnaire were observed and recorded. The refractive status of different groups of patients at different time points before and after surgery, and differences in subjective and objective visual quality indices were analyzed. Furthermore, the changes in subjective and objective visual quality(postoperative-preoperative)at different postoperative time points were analyzed between the two groups.RESULTS:No significant differences in visual acuity or refractive state were observed between the two groups at 3 mo postoperatively. In both the group A and the group B, there was a difference in the changes of corneal total higher-order aberration centered on 8 mm cornea at 1 mo postoperatively(P<0.05), and there was a difference in the changes of total higher-order aberration and corneal spherical aberration centered on 8 mm cornea at 3 mo postoperatively(all P<0.05). At 3 mo after surgery, the most commonly reported symptoms in the group A were glare, starburst, hazy vision, and halo. In the group B, the most common symptoms were hazy vision, halo, starburst, and glare. Statistically significant differences were observed in the severity of glare and visual fluctuation between groups before surgery and at 3 mo postoperatively(all P<0.05). However, no significant differences were found in the severity of halo, starburst, blurred vision, double vision, or focusing difficulty at 3 mo postoperatively(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION:When the scotopic pupil diameter exceeds the optical zone, SMILE may increase postoperative corneal aberrations, as evidenced by an increase in high-order corneal aberrations within an 8-mm central corneal range, a higher incidence of postoperative glare, and more severe glare and visual fluctuation symptoms. Nevertheless, these symptoms are mild and remain within a safe range.
