It is necessary to provide a SPARQL query tool for biomedical researchers due to the massive data of bi-omedical ontology. However, manual input of SPARQL query statements is quite complicated and easy to produce errors. A Cytospace-based parameterized SPARQL query system was thus developed for biomedical ontology, which can generate a module with SPARQL query conditions used as parameters. Biomedical researchers can thus rapidly, easily and directly retrieve the data in several biomedical ontology knowledge libraries instead of manual input of SPARQL query statements.

This article compares and analyzes the content and theoretical structure of the concept of pathogenesis from the national textbooks of Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine and Diagnostics in Chinese Medicine from the first to the ninth version.The authors consider the mechanism as the main content of pathogenesis concept in contemporary Chinese medicine.During the construction of this concept,the concept of pathology has a profound influence,wh ich differs a lot from the emphasis on key in ancient pathogenesis content,mainly reflected in clinical diagnosis and treatment ideas transferring from dealing with key issues to dealing with abstract concept.This change is associated with the impact of western medicine on modern Chinese medicine,emphasizing the mechanism and so on,so that the ancient Xiang (象) concept is marginalized.

Objective To compare the influence of hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) on early outcome of patients underwent kidney transplantation from donation after cardiac death (DCD).Methods Patients admitted in the First People's Hospital of Foshan with DCD kidney transplant from January 1st,2011 to June 30th,2016 were analyzed retrospectively.Recipients were grouped into HD group (n=61) and PD group (n=28) according to their pre-transplant dialysis modality.Their short-term outcomes after DCD kidney transplant were compared,including recovery of renal function,short-term complications and laboratory data.Results Patients had longer dialysis duration and lower hemoglobin,serum albumin and phosphorus in PD group than those in HD group (all P ＜ 0.05),but no significant difference shown in age,gender,body mass index,primary disease,blood pressure,and hepatitis B infection (all P ＞ 0.05).HD patients with 6.00(4.00,11.00) d recovery time of renal function,18.00(17.00,21.50) d hospital time,had 24.59％ the delayed graft function (DGF),3.28％ acute rejection and 16.39％ infection during hospitalization.While for PD patients the recovery time of renal function was 4.00(3.75,7.00) d;hospital time was 19.00(15.00,21.75) d;the incidence rate of DGF was 14.29％;acute rejection was 3.57％;and infection during hospitalization reached 17.86％.Above indexes were not significantly different between HD and PD groups (all P ＞0.05).Repeated measure ments showed that,compared with those before transplant surgery,after 1 month,3 months and 6 months HD and PD groups had decreased creatinine and phosphorus,and increased hemoglobinserum albumin and calcium;Serum albumin and calcium were different between the two groups (P ＜ 0.001,P=0.040),whereas creatinine,hemoglobin and phosphorus did not show difference (all P ＜ 0.05).After transplantation the trends of creatinine,hemoglobin,calcium and phosphorus were not different between the two groups (P values were 0.295,0.310,0.501 and 0.063,respectively).Conclusions No significant difference of the recovery regarding renal function,anemia,nutrition status and mineral metabolites was found between pre-transplant HD and PD modality in patients who underwent DCD kidney transplantations.

This paper reports a case of peritonitis caused by Campylobacter fetus in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patient. The patient was a middle-aged man, with chronic kidney disease stage 5 secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis, and had been on CAPD for 6 years. He was admitted to our department with a 7 day history of abdominal pain and cloudy effluent. Peritoneal effluent culture was negative and metagenomic next-generation sequencing suggested Campylobacter fetus. Intraperitoneal treatment with amikacin was failed. Peritoneal dialysis catheter was removed and hemodialysis treatment was performed. After treatment of erythromycin oral for 4 weeks, the patient's symptoms was improved and discharged.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and endoscopic detection rate of proximal serrated polyps and to screen the risk factors. Methods The data of 9010 colonoscopies performed by 22 endoscopists between September 2016 and September 2017 were reviewed. The adenoma detection rate (ADR) and proximal serrated polyp detection rate (PSDR) were calculated, and the correlation between ADR and PSDR was estimated by Pearson correlation coefficients. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze PSDR among endoscopists. Results For all subjects, the mean ADR was 30. 07％ ( ranged from 20. 00％ to 40. 78％) and mean PSDR was 4. 70％ ( ranged from 1. 52％ to 9. 28％) . PSDR of males was 1. 38 times of that of females ( OR=1. 38, 95％CI:1. 13-1. 69, P<0. 01) . For 3560 cases ( 39. 51％) of 50 years and older subjects, the mean ADR was 45. 01％ ( 28. 99％-57. 78％) and mean PSDR was 6. 08％(2. 07％-10. 56％). PSDR was moderately correlated with ADR (r=0. 48, P=0. 02). PSDR of males was 1. 36 times of that of females (OR=1. 36, 95％CI: 1. 04-1. 80, P=0. 03). Endoscopist was a significant risk factor for detection of proximal serrated polyps ( P<0. 01) . Compared with endoscopist with the highest PSDR, odds ratio of other endoscopists ranged from 0. 16 (95％CI:0. 06-0. 40, P<0. 01) to 0. 83 (95％CI:0. 53-1. 32, P=0. 44) . Conclusion Proximal serrated polyps are more common in males, who are over 50 years old. The PSDR is highly variable and dependent on endoscopists. It is possible that a certain proportion of proximal serrated polyps are missed during colonoscopy.

Objective:To establish a differential diagnosis model for IgA nephropathy and non-IgA nephropathy based on machine learning algorithms.Methods:Retrospective study adopted,from 2019 to 2020,260 patients were referred to the Department of Nephrology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, the First People′s Hospital in Yunnan province, and Yan′an Hospital of Kunming city. All patients were diagnosed by renal pathology, 130 cases of primary IgA nephropathy, the 130 cases of non-IgA nephropathy. Collection of materials, including gender and age, 28 clinical data, and routine laboratory test results,the sex ratio of IgA nephropathy group and non-IgA nephropathy group were 59∶71 and 64∶66 respectively, the ages were 37.20 (21.89, 53.78) and 43.30 (27.77, 59.18) years, respectively. 260 patients were divided into a training set (70%, 182 cases) and a test set (30%, 78 cases). Using the decision tree, random forests, support vector machine, extreme gradient boosting to establish a differential diagnosis model for IgA nephropathy and non-IgA nephropathy. Based on the true positive rate, true negative rate, false-positive rate, false-negative rate, accuracy, subjects features work area under the curve(AUC), the precision ratio, recall ratio, and F1 score, comprehensively evaluate the performance of each model, finally, the best performance of the model was chosen. Using SPSS 25.0 to analyze the data, P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results:The accuracy of the decision tree, support vector machine, random forests and extreme gradient boosting establish differential diagnosis model was 67.95%, 70.51%, 80.77% and 83.33%, respectively; AUC values was 0.74, 0.76, 0.80 and 0.83; Judgment for primary IgA nephropathy F1 score was 0.73, 0.72, 0.80 and 0.83, respectively. The efficiency of the extreme gradient boosting model based on the above evaluation indicators is the highest, its diagnosis of IgA nephropathy of the sensitivity and specificity respectively 89% and 79%. The variable importance from high to low was blood albumin, IgA/C3, serum creatinine, age, urine protein, urine albumin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, urea.Conclusion:The differential diagnosis model for IgA nephropathy was established successfully and non-IgA nephropathy and the efficiency performance of the extreme gradient boosting algorithm was the best.

Objective:To determine whether the early stage platelet count can predict the outcome of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted by selecting PDAP patients who were hospitalized in the First People's Hospital of Foshan from January 2012 to January 2019. According to the final treatment outcome, the patients were divided into cured group and withdrawn group. The withdrawn group included patients who transferred to hemodialysis or died. Basic data on demography, blood routine examination, peritoneal fluid, biochemical indicators were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the withdrawn risk factors of PDAP.Results:There were 180 patients included in the study, including 112 cases in the cured group and 68 cases in the withdrawn group. Compared with the cured group, there were older age [(53.38±14.17) years old vs (48.41±13.04) years old, t=2.407, P=0.017], longer age of dialysis [(49.20±26.05) months vs (30.36±32.97) months, t=4.034, P<0.001], longer hospital stay [(23.88±11.50) d vs (17.80±3.95) d, t=5.133, P<0.001] and higher platelet count [(285.55±107.23)×10 9/L vs (234.90±74.03)×10 9/L, t=3.450, P=0.001], lower serum albumin [(31.72±7.47) g/L vs (35.40±4.93) g/L, t=-3.972, P<0.001] in the withdrawn group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that longer dialysis age ( OR=1.012, 95% CI 1.007-1.024, P=0.015) and higher platelet count ( OR=1.013, 95% CI 1.004-1.026, P=0.008) were independent risk factors, and higher serum albumin ( OR=0.941, 95% CI 0.896-0.988, P=0.005) was an independent protective factor of withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis in PDAP patients. Conclusions:The long dialysis age, early high platelet count are independent risk factors and high serum albumin level is an independent protective factor for withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis in PDAP patients.

Transcriptional regulation is crucial for regulated gene expression. Due to the complexity, it has been difficult to engineer eukaryotic transcription factor (TF) and promoter pairs. The few availabilities of eukaryotic TF and promotor pairs limit their practical use for clinical or industrial applications. Here, we report a de novo construction of synthetic inhibitory transcription factor and promoter pairs for mammalian transcriptional regulation. The design of synthetic TF was based on the fusion of DNA binding domain and Kruppel associated box transcription regulating domain (KRAB). The synthetic promoter was constructed by inserting the corresponding TF response element after SV40 promoter. We constructed and tested five synthetic inhibitory transcription factor and promoter pairs in cultured mammalian cells. The inhibition capability and orthogonality were verified by flow cytometry. In summary, we demonstrate the feasibility of constructing mammalian inhibitory TF and promoter pairs, which could be standardized for advanced gene-circuit design and various applications in the mammalian synthetic biology.
