Retrieving keyframes most relevant to text from small intestine videos with given labels can efficiently and accurately locate pathological regions. However, training directly on raw video data is extremely slow, while learning visual representations from image-text datasets leads to computational inconsistency. To tackle this challenge, a small bowel video keyframe retrieval based on multi-modal contrastive learning (KRCL) is proposed. This framework fully utilizes textual information from video category labels to learn video features closely related to text, while modeling temporal information within a pretrained image-text model. It transfers knowledge learned from image-text multimodal models to the video domain, enabling interaction among medical videos, images, and text data. Experimental results on the hyper-spectral and Kvasir dataset for gastrointestinal disease detection (Hyper-Kvasir) and the Microsoft Research video-to-text (MSR-VTT) retrieval dataset demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of KRCL, with the proposed method achieving state-of-the-art performance across nearly all evaluation metrics.

Objective To investigate the value of cranial CT cisternal grading combined with D-dimer(D-D)and Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score in predicting the short-term postoperative prog-nosis of patients with severe traumatic brain injury.Methods A total of 165 patients with severe trau-matic brain injury who were treated in the hospital from January 2019 to May 2024 were selected as study subjects,all underwent craniotomy surgery.Postoperative follow-up was conducted for 3 months to analyze the differences in clinical data and preoperative indicators such as cranial CT cisternal grad-ing,D-D levels,and GCS scores between patients with poor and good prognosis.The value of cranial CT cisternal grading,D-D levels,and GCS scores in predicting short-term postoperative poor prognosis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury was also analyzed.Results Compared with patients with good prognosis,patients with poor prognosis had higher proportion of age,cranial CT cisternal grading of Ⅰ to Ⅱ,D-D levels,and GCS scores＜6(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in C-reactive protein,prothrombin time,activated partial thromboplastin time,international normalized ratio,total cholesterol,triglycerides,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels between patients with poor and good prognosis(P＞0.05).Cranial CT cisternal grading,D-D levels,and GCS scores were influencing factors for short-term postoperative poor prognosis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury(P＜0.05).The area under the curve for poor prognosis by three indicators in combination was 0.941(95％CI,0.906 to 0.975),which was higher than the area under the curve for the individual predictions of cranial CT cisternal grad-ing,D-D levels,and GCS scores(P＜0.05).Conclusion The influencing factors for short-term postoperative prognosis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury include cranial CT cisternal grading,D-D levels,and GCS scores.The model based on these three indicators has certain appli-cation value in predicting patient prognosis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between maternal serum folic acid(FA),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1),progesterone-induced blocking factor(PIBF)levels and embryonic development cessation in early pregnancy.Methods From December 2021 to December 2023,98 pregnant women with embryonic development cessation in early pregnancy admitted to the Second Hospital of Jingzhou were regarded as the cessation group,and 50 normal early pregnancy pregnant women who underwent pregnancy examinations during the same period were as the control group.General clinical data was collected and analyzed.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to detect serum levels of FA,MCP-1 and PIBF.Multivariate logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of early pregnancy embryo cessation of development.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of serum FA,MCP-1,and PIBF for early embryonic development cessation in pregnancy.Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum FA,MCP-1,PIBF,progesterone(PROG),estradiol(E2)and β-human chorionic gonadotropin(β-HCG).Results Compared with the control group,the serum FA(9.51±1.21 nmol/L vs 11.32±1.56 nmol/L)and PIBF(295.46±30.22 ng/ml vs 342.14±36.97 ng/ml)levels in the cessation group were greatly reduced,while the serum MCP-1(1.02±0.15 mg/ml vs 0.82±0.11 mg/ml)level was greatly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.785,8.347,8.229,all P＜0.001).There were great statistical differences in the history of embryonic development cessation(75.64%vs 25.36%),PROG(13.32±1.81 ng/ml vs 23.65±2.74 ng/ml),E2(221.34±25.69 pmol/L vs 298.65±31.64 pmol/L),and β-HCG levels(5 323.62±536.85U/L vs 8 562.31±924.55 U/L)between the two groups(t/χ2=6.548～27.428,all P<0.05).Pregnant women's history of embryonic development cessation and elevated level of MCP-1 were risk factors for embryonic development cessation in early pregnancy(Wald χ2=4.239,4.613,all P<0.05),while elevated levels of β-HCG,FA and PIBF were protective factors for embryonic development cessation in early pregnancy(Wald χ2=4.476,4.423,5.974,all P<0.05).The AUC of FA,MCP-1,PIBF,and their combination in predicting early embryonic development cessation in pregnancy was 0.811,0.805,0.816 and 0.908,respectively.The combined prediction was greatly better than that of individual diagnosis of FA MCP-1,and PIBF(Z=2.749,2.381,1.993,all P<0.05).FA and PIBF were positively correlated with PROG,E2 and β-HCG(r=0.433～0.512,all P<0.05),while MCP-1 was negatively correlated with PROG,E2 and β-HCG(r=-0.432,-0.487,-0.458,all P<0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of FA and PIBF in pregnant women with embryonic development cessation in early pregnancy decrease,while the level of MCP-1 increases.These three factors are all influencing factors for embryonic development cessation in pregnant women,and have certain auxiliary predictive value for embryonic development cessation in early pregnancy.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the immunogenicity and osteogenic ability of animal-derived bone graft material decellularized with supercritical carbon dioxide. METHODS: Porcine femurs were randomly divided into two groups after preliminary treatment, and decellularized with conventional method (control group) or supercritical carbon dioxide (experimental group). Allogenic demineralized bone matrix was used as positive control. Clearance rate of galactose-α-1, 3-galactose (α-Gal) antigen was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and residual DNA was detected by a fluorescence method. Nine SPF-grade male athymic nude mice of 6 weeks old were randomly divided into experimental, control and positive control groups. Samples were implanted over biceps femoris muscle of athymic nude mice. The explants were collected 4 weeks post implantation. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry were applied to determine the osteogenic ability and bone tissue-associated protein expressions of the implants. RESULTS: The clearance rates of α-Gal antigen in the experimental group and the control group were (99.09±0.26)% and (30.18±2.02)%, respectively (t=58.67, P<0.01). The residual DNA of the experimental, control and positive control groups were (13.49±0.07), (15.20±0.21) and (14.70±0.17) ng/mg. The residual DNA in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (t=－13.41, P<0.01) and positive control group (t=－11.30, P<0.01). HE staining results showed that multiple bone formation centers with active osteogenesis and rich bone marrow were observed in experimental group 4 weeks after implantation, but only a small number of bone formation centers were observed in the control and positive control groups, with no obvious osteoblasts present. Immunohistochemistry results indicated that the expressions of alkaline phosphatase, Runt-related transcription factor 2, collagen typeⅠand osteocalcin in the experimental group showed an increasing trend compared with those in the control and positive control groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared with clinically used allogenic demineralized bone matrix and bone graft material decellularized with conventional method, bone graft material decellularized with supercritical carbon dioxide exhibits lower immunogenicity and better osteogenic ability.

Benign anastomotic stenosis remains a common complication after bilojejunal anastomosis. Its pathogenesis includes the histology of bile duct, bile erosion, and inappropriate choice of surgical anastomosis or suture materials. Biliojejunal anastomotic stenosis can be determined preoperatively by MRCP, CT, and three-dimensional image reconstruction. Surgery remains treatment of choice for most cases, including surgical reconstruction and minimally invasive treatment, while the incidence of restenosis, residual stone, and reoperation is still high. Surgeons are still in search of optimal treatment modality to avoid anastomotic stenosis. In this article, we review the literature and summarize the latest clinical progress in the diagnosis and treatment of biliojejunal anastomotic stenosis combined with hepatic ductal stones.

Objective: To investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention status among residents with intra-urban migration in Central China, so as to provide insights into targeted prevention and control of CVD. Methods: Basic data of residents aged 35 to 75 years who participated in Early Screening and Comprehensive Intervention Project for CVD high-risk populations in Central China from September 2015 to August 2020 were collected. According to birth place, type of registered residence and current residence, residents were divided into four groups: local residents in old urban area, local residents in new urban area, other urban migrants and other rural migrants. The status of CVD primary and secondary prevention, were analysed by using a robust Poisson regression model. Results: A total of 76 513 residents were recruited, including 29 420 males (38.45%) and 47 093 females (61.55%), and had a mean age of (56.36±9.84) years. There were 45 087 (58.93%) local residents in old urban area, 23 868 (31.19%) local residents in new urban area, 5 668 (7.41%) other urban migrants and 1 890 (2.47%) other rural migrants. After adjusting for variables such as age, gender and educational level, the results of robust Poisson regression analysis showed that compared with local residents in old urban area, local residents in new urban area had lower compliance rates of non- or moderate-drinking (RR=0.987, 95%CI: 0.975-1.000) and healthy diet (RR=0.535, 95%CI: 0.365-0.782), lower proportion of using aspirin as primary prevention in CVD high-risk population (RR=0.616, 95%CI: 0.511-0.741), lower awareness (RR=0.873, 95%CI: 0.782-0.974) and control rates (RR=0.730, 95%CI: 0.627-0.849) of hypertension; other urban migrants had higher compliance rate of non-smoking (RR=1.045, 95%CI: 1.017-1.075); other rural migrants had lower proportion of using aspirin as primary prevention in CVD high-risk population (RR=0.826, 95%CI: 0.707-0.966). Conclusion The CVD primaryprevention among local residents in new urban area is relatively poor among four groups of residents in Central China, and key interventions are needed.

Objective To explore the value of CT-guided needle positioning in preoperative localization of pulmonary ground glass nodules(GGN).Methods Clinical data of 110 patients with pulmonary GGN treated in the Wuxi Hospital from March 2017 to December 2021 were collected.Before thoracoscopic surgery,CT-guided needle positioning was conducted,and the accuracy and effectiveness of positioning were observed.Results The lesions were located in the lateral side of the lungs in 72 patients and in the middle lateral sides of the lungs in 38 patients,with the puncture success rates being 93.06%and 86.84%,respectively(P<0.01).The positioning time,incidence of complications,surgical time,extubation time and hospital stay in patients with the lesions located in lateral lungs were lower than those located in middle lateral lungs.Postoperative pathological results were taken as the gold standard,and the sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of CT-guided needle positioning were 90.20%,75.00%,and 89.09%,respectively.Conclusion Preoperative CT-guided needle positioning can help to shorten the localization time of operation,surgical time and extubation time,and reduce complications.

BACKGROUND: Although intensively studied in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the prognostic value of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) has little been elucidated in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This study aimed to reveal the prognostic value of DBP in AECOPD patients. METHODS: Inpatients with AECOPD were prospectively enrolled from 10 medical centers in China between September 2017 and July 2021. DBP was measured on admission. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality; invasive mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit (ICU) admission were secondary outcomes. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariable Cox regressions were used to identify independent prognostic factors and calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for adverse outcomes. RESULTS: Among 13,633 included patients with AECOPD, 197 (1.45%) died during their hospital stay. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that low DBP on admission (<70 mmHg) was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality (HR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.53-3.05, Z = 4.37, P <0.01), invasive mechanical ventilation (HR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.32-2.05, Z = 19.67, P <0.01), and ICU admission (HR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.24-1.69, Z = 22.08, P <0.01) in the overall cohort. Similar findings were observed in subgroups with or without CVDs, except for invasive mechanical ventilation in the subgroup with CVDs. When DBP was further categorized in 5-mmHg increments from <50 mmHg to ≥100 mmHg, and 75 to <80 mmHg was taken as reference, HRs for in-hospital mortality increased almost linearly with decreased DBP in the overall cohort and subgroups of patients with CVDs; higher DBP was not associated with the risk of in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSION: Low on-admission DBP, particularly <70 mmHg, was associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes among inpatients with AECOPD, with or without CVDs, which may serve as a convenient predictor of poor prognosis in these patients.
