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 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 conduct a scoping review on the application of sedentary behavior intervention in chronic disease patients and identify the delivery carriers, intervention time, intervention content and intervention results, so as to provide guidance for health care personnel to carry out relevant intervention research.Methods:Literature was systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang data from establishment of the databases to June 15, 2023. The included literatures were screened, summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 25 articles were included, among which the delivery carriers of sedentary behavior intervention included offline guidance, wearable device monitoring, telephone follow-up, mobile phone applications, email and website platform. The most common intervention implementers were rehabilitation therapists, followed by nurses, doctors and psychologists. Intervention durations ranged from 4 weeks to 3 years. Behavioral intervention strategies covered eight aspects, including providing information about behavioral consequences, goal setting, action planning, obstacle identification/problem-solving, behavioral feedback, exploring social support, motivational rewards and restructuring the physical environment. The types of outcome indicators for intervention included sedentary time, physical activity time, physiological indicators, psychological indicators, feasibility evaluation and safety evaluation. The results showed that sedentary behavior intervention not only reduced sedentary behavior in patients with chronic diseases, but also affected their quality of life and self-efficacy.Conclusions:Sedentary behavior intervention has positive effects on sedentary behavior, physical activity, physical health and mental health of patients with chronic diseases. Future research should strengthen the development and application of mobile phone applications and strengthen environmental intervention to further improve the intervention effect.

Objective To detect the expression level of 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase(ABAT)in bone marrow of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS),and analyze its influence on clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.Methods From January 2016 to March 2020,92 patients with MDS and 30 patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xingtai Medical College were retrospectively collected.Meanwhile,30 patients with immunothrombocytopenia who did not develop MDS or other clonal diseases of the blood system during a 3-year follow-up were collected as control group.Real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the relative expression level and methylation level of ABAT mRNA of all patients,and the relative expression level and methylation level of ABAT mRNA among different clinical characteristics of MDS patients were compared.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the adverse prognosis of MDS.The clinical value of detecting ABAT methylation level in predicting poor prognosis of MDS patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the 3-year survival rate between groups with different ABAT mRNA relative expression levels and methylation levels,and log-rank test was used for their comparison.Results The expression level of ABAT mRNA in MDS group(0.42±0.08)was lower than that in control group(0.56±0.15)and AML group(0.52±0.10),while the methylation level of ABAT(32.51±5.32)was higher than that of AML group(26.21±4.58)and control group(10.25±4.31),and the differences were significant(t=4.251,4.562;10.415,8.326,all P<0.001).The methylation level of ABAT in high-risk patients(42.65±5.32)was higher than that in low-risk patients(25.63±4.16),intermediate-risk-1 patients(30.59±2.51)and intermediate-risk-2 patients(33.25±3.69)by IPSS risk grade,and the differences were significant(t=8.329,7.077,15.874,all P<0.001).Poor Karyotype analysis result[OR(95%CI):4.973(1.524～8.581),P=0.004],high IPSS risk grade[OR(95%CI):8.542(2.365～14.521),P<0.001]and ABAT hypermethylation level[OR(95%CI):6.178(1.589～13.021),P<0.001]were the risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of MDS.The cut-offvalue of ABAT methylation level to predict the poor prognosis of MDS were 30.54,and the area under the curve(AUC),the sensitivity and specificity were 0.92,0.874 and 0.851,respectively.The 3-year survival rate of the high ABAT methylation group(>30.54)was 66.67%,which was lower than that of the low ABAT methylation group(≤30.54)was 93.18%,with significant difference(Log-rank x2=9.814,P=0.002).Conclusion The ABAT methylation levels in MDS bone marrow increase,which is a risk factor affecting the poor prognosis of patients.ABAT basal level>30.54 is expected to become a factors predicting the poor prognosis of patients.

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.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on oxidative stress in medial prefrontal cortex and excitatory/inhibitory balance of pyramidal neurons in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depressive model mice.Methods:Totally 48 SPF grade 7-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were divided into 4 groups according to random number table method: control+ saline group (CTRL+ Veh), control+ GBE group (CTRL+ GBE), model+ saline group (CUMS+ Veh), model+ GBE group (CUMS+ GBE), with 12 mice in each group.Mice in CUMS+ Veh group and CUMS+ GBE group were established by CUMS method, and mice in CTRL+ GBE group and CUMS+ GBE group were intraperitoneally injected with GBE (70 mg/kg) once a day, and mice in CTRL+ Veh group and CUMS+ Veh group were injected intraperitoneally with 0.9% sodium chloride solution.Then, the sucrose preference test, forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) were performed to evaluate the depressive-like behavior of mice, and open field test (OFT) was performed to evaluate the autonomous locomotion and exploration ability and anxiety-like behavior.The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mPFC were determined by ELISA.Spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSC) and spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSC) were detected by whole-cell recording.SPSS 23.0 was used for data analysis and two-factor analysis of variance(whether to get GBE, whether to mold, show as GBE×CUMS) was used for statistical analysis.Results:(1) Behavioral results: the the time spent in center and total distance of OFT and sugar preference rate of the four groups of mice were compared, and the interaction of GBE×CUMS was significant( F=24.90, 4.82, 3.91, all P<0.05). The results of simple effect analysis showed that the time spent in center ((47.15±3.58) s), the total distance((19.33±0.86) m) and the sugar preference rate((59.11±8.79)%) of the mice in CUMS+ Veh group were lower than those in the CTRL+ Veh group((61.55±2.49) s, (23.24±1.21) m, (84.02±7.45) %) (all P<0.01), and the above indexes in CUMS+ GBE group ((56.51±3.53) s, (20.75±1.31) m, (70.80±11.79)%) were higher than those in CUMS+ Veh group (all P<0.05). In the immobility time of FST and TST of mice in the 4 groups, the interaction of GBE×CUMS were significant( F=85.53, 83.39, both P<0.01). The immobility time of FST and TST in CUMS+ Veh group were higher than those in CTRL+ Veh group (both P<0.01 ), and the above indexes in CUMS+ GBE group were lower than CUMS+ Veh group(both P<0.05). (2)The results of ELISA showed that the interaction of GBE×CUMS of SOD level of mice in the 4 groups was not significant ( F=3.52, P=0.07), but the main effects of GBE factor and CUMS factor were both significant ( F=4.69, 46.93, both P<0.05). The interaction of GBE×CUMS of MDA level was significant( F=16.61, P<0.01). The level of SOD in the CUMS+ Veh group was lower than that in the CTRL+ Veh group ( P<0.01), and the level of SOD in the CUMS+ GBE group was higher than that in the CUMS+ Veh group ( P<0.05). The level of MDA in the CUMS+ Veh group was higher than that of the CTRL+ Veh group ( P<0.01), and the level of MDA in CUMS+ GBE group was lower than that of the CUMS+ Veh group ( P<0.01). (3) The results of whole-cell recording showed that the interaction of GBE×CUMS of frequency and quantification of sEPSC in the four groups were significant ( F=5.45, 6.94, both P<0.05). The sEPSC frequency and quantification in the CUMS+ Veh group were lower than those in the CTRL+ Veh group (both P<0.01), and the sEPSC frequency and quantification in CUMS+ GBE group were higher than those of CUMS+ Veh group (both P<0.05). The interaction of GBE×CUMS of frequency and quantification of sIPSC in the four groups were significant ( F=7.78, 8.96, both P<0.01). The sIPSC frequency and quantification of the CUMS+ Veh group were higher than those of CTRL+ Veh group (both P<0.01), and the above indexes of CUMS+ GBE group were lower than those of CUMS+ Veh group (both P<0.01). As for the sEPSC/sIPSC ratio, GBE×CUMS interaction was significant ( F=5.45, P=0.02). The sEPSC/sIPSC ratio of CUMS+ Veh group (0.09±0.01) was lower than that of CTRL+ Veh group (0.28±0.04) ( P<0.01), and the sEPSC/sIPSC ratio of CUMS+ GBE group (0.14±0.03) was higher than that of CUMS+ Veh group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Ginkgo biloba extract can improve the depression-like behavior of mice induced by CUMS, reduce the oxidative stress of mPFC and improve the excitation/inhibition balance of pyramidal neurons in depressive model mice.
