Objective To apply the image recognition method based on distance graph convolutional network to the image processing of malaria-infected erythrocytes for realizing the multi-stage recognition of malaria and improving the diagnostic efficiency of malaria.Methods A multi-stage malaria recognition model based on distance graph convolutional network was proposed.A radial basis function was firstly added in KNN graph construction algorithm to construct adjacency matrix and assign weights to the nearest-neighbor nodes according to the similarity between nodes,so as to weaken the effects of the distant nearest-neighbor nodes on the central node.Then,attention mechanism was introduced to update adjacency matrix dynamically in the graph convolutional network for making the model pay attention to near-neighbor nodes with higher similarity,and finally the multi-stage image recognition of malaria-infected erythrocytes was completed.Results Validated on the Malaria-MIT dataset,the experimental results show that compared with original model,the proposed method improved accuracy,precision,recall rate and F1-score to 96.18%,96.23%,96.18%and 96.18%,respectively.Conclusion The proposed approach can effectively accomplish the task of multi-stage image recognition of malaria-infected erythrocytes.

Immune dysregulation is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and numerous studies have focused on the impact of immune cell metabolic pathways. Immune system cells dynamically adapt to the microenvironment, regulating the body's response to external stimuli through intricate metabolic pathways. This review summarizes the mechanisms by which glycolysis, fatty acid and amino acid metabolisms influence immune metabolism and thereby modulate IBD progression, offering new perspectives for the diagnosis and treatment of IBD.

Objective:To analyze the association between physical activity levels and all-cause mortality risk in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and to investigate the mediating effect of inflammation.Methods:Based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of America data matched with the National Death Index of America, a prospective cohort was formed, including 59 482 participants from six cycles between 2007 and 2018. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 2 214 DKD patients were selected for the study. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to analyze the impact of physical activity levels on all-cause mortality risk. The mediating effect of inflammatory markers in the association between physical activity and all-cause mortality risk was explored.Results:There were statistically significant differences in survival curves among different physical activity level groups ( P<0.001). As physical activity levels increased, the risk of mortality decreased. Patients in the high physical activity group had a lower mortality risk compared to those in the inactive group ( HR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.53-0.78), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). Patients with higher physical activity levels had lower levels of inflammation (white blood cell, neutrophil, and C-reactive protein) ( P<0.001). White blood cell, neutrophil, C-reactive protein, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the systemic inflammation index (SII) were independent risk factors for mortality in DKD patients ( HR>1.00), with higher risk effects observed for the combined indicator lgNLR ( HR=2.06, 95% CI: 1.76-2.41) and lgSII ( HR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.26-1.64). Mediation analysis showed that physical activity had an indirect effect on all-cause mortality risk through neutrophil, with an effect size of -0.033 (95% CI: -0.052 - -0.002), which was statistically significant ( P<0.05), with a mediation effect proportion of 9.75%. Conclusion:Physical activity is a protective factor against all-cause mortality risk in DKD patients, partly through reducing neutrophil levels.

Objective:To explore the relationships between physical activity and cognitive impairment in older adults aged ≥65 years in longevity areas in China.Methods:A total of 6 081 older adults aged ≥65 years from the Healthy Ageing and Biomarkers Cohort Study in China in 2021 were included in this study. Information about their demographic characteristics, lifestyles, and chronic disease histories were collected, the intensity of physical activity was evaluated by using Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, and the cognitive function was evaluated by using Mini-Mental State Examination Scale (Chinese version). Multifactorial logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations between different levels and types of physical activity and cognitive impairment in older adults.Results:In the 6 081 older adults, 1 829 (30.1%) had cognitive impairment. After adjusting for confounders, older adults with T2 and T3 levels of physical activity had lower risks for cognitive impairment compared with those with T1 levels of physical activity, with ORs of 0.47 (95% CI: 0.40-0.55) and 0.22 (95% CI: 0.18-0.28). The results of different types of physical activities showed that the ORs in leisure activity T2 and T3 groups were 0.52 (95% CI: 0.44-0.63) and 0.49 (95% CI: 0.41-0.58), and the ORs in housework activity T2 and T3 groups were 0.36 (95% CI: 0.30-0.42) and 0.19 (95% CI: 0.16-0.24). There was no significant association between work-related activity and cognitive impairment. Conclusion:There is a negative association between the intensity level of physical activity and cognitive impairment, and active leisure and household activities might reduce the risk for cognitive impairment.

Objective:To explore the epidemiological characteristics of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) in children hospitalized for acute respiratory tract infections in Hebei, and provide a theoretical basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute respiratory tract infections in children in Hebei.Methods:Retrospectively, 41 499 children hospitalized in Hebei Children′s Hospital for acute respiratory tract infections from January 2017 to December 2021 were included to analyze the morbidity of children of different genders and ages, and in different seasons, and to statistically analyze the epidemiological data such as the positive detection rate of hMPV, the detection rates of mixed infections with other pathogens, and the clinical diagnosis.Results:The overall positive detection rate of hMPV in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections from 2017 to 2021 was 5.94%(2 464/41 499), with the highest positive detection rate of hMPV in the age group of 3 to 4 years (7.66%, 520/6 789) and the lowest in the age group of ≥5 years (2.89%, 180/6 225), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001); the positive detection rates in male and female children were respectively 5.97%(1 496/25 056) and 5.94%(968/16 443), and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The positive detection rates of hMPV from 2017 to 2021 were 5.10%(408/7 998), 9.64%(915/9 491), 4.27%(426/9 969), 5.91%(368/6 226), and 4.44%(347/7 815), respectively, and the positive detection rate of hMPV in 2018 was significantly higher than that in the other years ( P<0.001). hMPV circulated throughout the year, with obvious seasonality, with the highest positive detection rate in spring and winter.The mixed detection rate of hMPV with other respiratory pathogens was 42.74% (1 053/2 464), of which mixed detection with rhinovirus was the most common, with a mixed detection rate of 48.24%(508/1 053).Clinical diagnosis of hPMV-positive children was mostly bronchopneumonia. Conclusions:hMPV is one of the important pathogens in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections in Hebei, which is common in children under 5 years of age and can occur throughout the year, with peak epidemics in winter and spring. Mixed infections of hMPV with other respiratory pathogens are common and can increase the risk of worsening clinical symptoms in children.
