PURPOSE:
To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.
METHODS:
This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method. A yorkshire model of brain tissue injury induced by traumatic blood loss was established. Firstly, the perfusion temperature and blood oxygen saturation were monitored in real-time during the perfusion process. The number of red blood cells, hemoglobin content, NA+, K+, and Ca2+ ions concentrations and pH of the perfusate were detected. Following perfusion, we specifically examined the parietal lobe to assess its water content. The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were then dissected for histological evaluation, allowing us to investigate potential regional differences in tissue injury. The blank control group was sampled directly before perfusion. All statistical analyses and graphs were performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 Student t-test. All tests were two-sided, and p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
RESULTS:
The contents of red blood cells and hemoglobin during perfusion were maintained at normal levels but more red blood cells were destroyed 3 h after the perfusion. The blood oxygen saturation of the perfusion group was maintained at 95% - 98%. NA+ and K+ concentrations were normal most of the time during perfusion but increased significantly at about 4 h. The Ca2+ concentration remained within the normal range at each period. Glucose levels were slightly higher than the baseline level. The pH of the perfusion solution was slightly lower at the beginning of perfusion, and then gradually increased to the normal level. The water content of brain tissue in the sub-low and docile perfusion group was 78.95% ± 0.39%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.27% ± 0.55%, t = 10.49, p < 0.001), and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the blank control group, the structure and morphology of pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and CA1 region of the hippocampal gyrus were similar, and their integrity was better. The structural integrity of granulosa neurons was destroyed and cell edema increased in the perfusion group compared with the blank control group. Immunofluorescence staining for glail fibrillary acidic protein and Iba1, markers of glial cells, revealed well-preserved cell structures in the perfusion group. While there were indications of abnormal cellular activity, the analysis showed no significant difference in axon thickness or integrity compared to the 1-h blank control group.
CONCLUSIONS
Mild hypothermic machine perfusion can improve ischemia and hypoxia injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss and delay the necrosis and apoptosis of yorkshire brain tissue by continuous oxygen supply, maintaining ion homeostasis and reducing tissue metabolism level.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially generative AI (GenAI), has already brought, and will continue to bring, revolutionary changes to our daily production and life, as well as create new opportunities and challenges for diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the medical field. Haihe Hospital of Tianjin University collaborates with the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin, Tianjin University, and other institutions to carry out research in areas such as smart healthcare, smart services, and smart management. We have conducted research and development of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system based on GenAI in the field of smart healthcare. The development of this project is of great significance. The first goal is to upgrade and transform the hospital's information center, organically integrate it with existing information systems, and provide the necessary computing power storage support for intelligent services within the hospital. We have implemented the localized deployment of three models: Tianhe "Tianyuan", WiNGPT, and DeepSeek. The second is to create a digital avatar of the chief physician/chief physician's voice and image by integrating multimodal intelligent interaction technology. With generative intelligence as the core, this solution provides patients with a visual medical interaction solution. The third is to achieve deep adaptation between generative intelligence and the entire process of patient medical treatment. In this project, we have developed assistant tools such as intelligent inquiry, intelligent diagnosis and recognition, intelligent treatment plan generation, and intelligent assisted medical record generation to improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of the diagnosis and treatment process. This study introduces the content of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system, aiming to provide references and insights for the digital transformation of the healthcare industry.

Objective:To quantitatively evaluate left ventricular myocardial work in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by pressure strain loop (PSL) technique.Methods:A total of 103 T2DM patients diagnosed at the Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from April 2022 to May 2023 were selected. They were divided into three groups based on their fatty liver ultrasound findings: group A (34 cases without NAFLD), group B (37 cases with mild NAFLD), and group C (32 cases with moderate to severe NAFLD). All patients underwent routine echocardiography, which measured the end diastolic left ventricular diameter (LVIDd), end systolic left ventricular diameter (LVIDs), end diastolic interventricular septum (IVSTd), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWTd), and end systolic left atrial diameter (LAD). The biplane Simpson method was used to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end diastolic left ventricular volume (LVEDV), and end systolic left ventricular volume (LVESV). PSL technology was applied to analyze the overall longitudinal strain (GLS), global work index (GWI), global effective work (GCW), global ineffective work (GWW), and overall work efficiency (GWE) of the left ventricular myocardium. We compared the conventional echocardiography parameters and myocardial work parameters among three groups, and analyzed the correlation between myocardial work parameters and GLS and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c). Results:The differences in body mass index (BMI), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) between group B and group A were statistically significant (all P<0.05); There was a statistically significant difference in BMI, HbA 1c, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) between group C and group B (all P<0.001); The differences in BMI, HbA 1c, ALT, AST, triglyceride (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and LDL-C between group C and group A were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The GWI and GCW in group B were lower than those in group A (all P<0.05), while the absolute GLS, GCW, GWI, and GWE in group C were lower than those in group A, and GWW was higher than those in group A (all P<0.05); The absolute values of GLS, GCW, GWI, and GWE in group C were lower than those in group B ( P<0.05). The correlation analysis results showed that GLS and HbA 1c were negatively correlated with GCW and GWI ( r=-0.571, -0.533, -0.273, -0.223, P<0.05). Conclusions:PSL technology can quantitatively evaluate left ventricular myocardial work in patients with T2DM combined with NAFLD, and can detect early impairment of left ventricular systolic function in patients. It has clinical reference value in evaluating overall and local cardiac function.

Objective To understand the status of screen exposure in children with epilepsy and analyze the influencing factors for screen exposure time,providing a scientific basis for managing screen exposure in these children. Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 275 children with epilepsy from outpatient clinics or those undergoing 24-hour electroencephalogram monitoring at two tertiary hospitals in Jinan from March to June 2023. Their parents (fathers or mothers) completed a questionnaire to collect data on screen exposure,parental screen regulation behaviors,and related information about the children and their families. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test or the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to conduct a univariate analysis of the average screen exposure time of children on school days and weekends,as well as the daily average screen exposure time. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for children whose screen exposure time exceeded the recommended guidelines (average screen exposure time on school days>1 hour or average on weekends>2 hours). Results The median screen exposure duration on school days was 40 minutes,while on weekends it was 120 minutes. Among the children studied,23.1% (63/273) had average screen exposure time exceeding 1 hour on school days,and 42.5% (117/275) had average screen exposure time exceeding 2 hours on weekends. Four children experienced seizures while using screen devices. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that using screen devices shortly before sleep,lower educational levels of parents,caregivers discussing screen content with children,and longer seizure durations in children were risk factors for exceeding recommended guidelines (P<0.05). Conclusions Some children with epilepsy have a screen exposure time exceeding the recommended guidelines. A longer seizure duration,lower parental education levels,and permissive digital parenting are closely associated with children's screen exposure time exceeding the recommended guidelines. Families and children exhibiting these characteristics should be prioritized for attention and health education.

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli(EPEC),a zoonotic foodborne pathogen,can induce severe and prolonged di-arrhea,thus substantially affecting global public health safety.To understand the pathogenicity of EPEC and its potential risk to human health,this study investigated the antimicrobial resistance and genome-wide characteristics of EPEC originating from ducks.After identification of EPEC with the plate method and PCR,antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was examined with the microbroth dilution method.In addition,analyses of serotype,sequence type(ST),and plasmid incompatibility groups were conducted with whole-genome sequencing(WGS)and bioinformatic methods.Ten EPEC isolates were identified,including serotypes O71∶H40 and O3∶H21.All EPEC strains exhibited multiple drug resistance.The highest proportion of resistance(100%)was observed to ciprofloxacin,streptomycin,tetracycline,and polymyxin B.In contrast,the isolates showed susceptibility to cefoxitin,amikacin,and imipenem.Furthermore,all strains carried the tetracycline resistance gene tet(A)and extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)resistance genes,including blaOXA-10,blaTEM-1A,and blaTEM-1B.Various virulence genes,associated primarily with the secretory system,were de-tected in the isolates.However,no bf p genes or per ARC genes were identified,thus indicating that the EPEC isolates were atypical EPEC(aEPEC).The results demonstrated the presence of multiple antimicrobial resistance,multiple resistance and viru-lence genes,and various plasmid incompatibility groups,thus in-dicating potential pathogenicity to humans.Strengthened monitoring of duck-derived EPEC is crucial to effectively control the spread of the pathogen and safeguard public health.
