Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of an automated scanning and uptake system to assist pathologists with hu-man epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)FISH interpretation.Methods:HER2 gene amplification is detected using FISH,and"result interpretation by independent pathologists"is regarded as the"gold standard."The consistency of"human-machine dialogue results"(use of a CytoVision* system combined with manual interpretation)and"CytoVision*-based automated interpretation"with the"gold standard"was assessed.Results:Consistency between"human-machine dialogue results"and the"gold standard"can surpass 91%,with the former method saving up to 50%of the manual operation time.The tendency of each cell nucleus's HER2 copy number to be"underestimated"is the main reason for the low sensitivity observed in cases with low copy number amplification and HER2 heterogeneous expression cases in"human-machine dialogue interpretation."Conclusions:Automatic FISH image analysis and uptake systems simulate the process of manu-ally interpreted cell selection,ensure random cell selection,and improve work efficiency.With its accurate selection of the hybridization re-gion and"human-computer dialogue,"the system is expected to"replace"interpretation by independent pathologists.

Objective To estimate the sample size of radiological diagnostic tests in multireader multicase(MRMC)design,and to explore the numbers of readers and cases under 3 different inference situations:random-reader random-case,fixed-reader random-case,and random-reader fixed-case.Methods The images of 114 participants(45 cases diagnosed as aortic coarctation by the gold standard)in the Van Dyke dataset were used,and 5 radiologists read these images under 2 different magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)sequences(Spin-echo and Cine MRI)to obtain the pre-experiment data.Then Obuchowski-Rockette method was used to estimate sample size.Results The mean area under curve(AUC)of aortic coarctation determined by radiologists was 0.941(95%confidence interval[CI]0.899-0.983)with the Spin-echo MRI sequence,and 0.897(95%CI 0.837-0.957)with the Cine MRI sequence.When the effect size was 0.044 and the number of readers was 5,we needed 337 participants for random-reader random-case,162 participants for fixed-reader random-case,and 282 participants for random-reader fixed-case.Conclusion In MRMC design,we need both the number of readers and cases;the larger the number of readers,the smaller the cases required.We need more samples under the situation of random-reader random-case,when the number of readers is≥5.

Perinatal depression, one of the most common complications in the perinatal period, has a significant impact on the physical and mental health of mothers and children.At present, it is difficult to diagnose perinatal depression at an early stage, so objective and effective biomarkers are of great significance for the early detection and treatment of perinatal depression. In recent years, the exploration of biomarkers for early diagnosis of perinatal depression has become a hot research topic, mainly in sex hormones, neuroendocrine-related hormones, immuno-inflammatory molecules, genetics, and epigenetics.This article reviews the research progress of the biomarkers of perinatal depression in recent years.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a child with unexplained global developmental delay (GDD), seizure, and facial deformity.
METHODS:
Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out for the patient. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of the patient and his parents.
RESULTS:
WES revealed that the patient has carried a previously unreported de novo heterozygous nonsense c.4906C>T (p.Arg1636Ter) variant of the KMT2A gene, Based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics standards and guidelines, the c.4906C>T variant of KMT2A gene was predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+ PS2+ PM2+PP3).
CONCLUSION
The heterozygous nonsense c.4906C>T (p.Arg1636Ter) variant of the KMT2A gene probably underlay the disease in the child. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of pathogenic variants of the KMT2A gene.

OBJECTIVE: To study on the effects of prophylactic administration of Ramulus mori polysaccharides (RMP) on inflammatory response of renal ischemia reperfusion injury (RIRI) model mice and to explore its possible mechanism. METHODS: Totally 60 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided to sham operation group, model group, atorvastatin group (positive control, 15 mg/kg), RMP low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (300, 600, 1 200 mg/kg). Except for sham operation group, RIRI model was induced in other 5 groups. 24 h before surgery, they were given relevant medicine intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive one week. 24 h after reperfusion, the mice were sacrificed. The serum levels of Scr and BUN were detected. The morphological changes of renal tissue were observed under optical microscope. The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α were determined by ELISA. Western blot assay was used to determine the protein expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), p38 mitogen-activation protein kinase (p38MAPK) and p-p38MAPK. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, the serum levels of Scr and BUN were significantly elevated in model group (P<0.01). RIRI led to typical inflammatory response of renal tissue, widespread renal tubular epithelial cell degeneration and necrosis, and inflammatory cells infiltration. Serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α were increased significantly (P<0.01). The protein expressions of TLR4, p38MAPK and p-p38MAPK were increased significantly in renal cortex (P<0.01). Compared with model group, serum levels of Scr and BUN were decreased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The pathological damage of renal tissue was improved in varying degrees, especially in the RMP medium-dose and high-dose groups. Serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were decreased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Serum levels of IL-10 were further increased in atorvastatin group and RMP high-dose group (P<0.01), and serum level of TNF-α was decreased significantly in atorvastatin group and RMP medium-dose and high-dose groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The protein expressions of TLR4 and p-p38MAPK in renal cortex were decreased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: RMP prophylactic administration can improve RIRI of mice, the mechanism of which may be associated with relieving the inflammatory response through inhibition of TLR4/p38MAPK signaling pathway.
