Deep learning method can be used to automatically analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) data and rapidly implement arrhythmia classification, which provides significant clinical value for the early screening of arrhythmias. How to select arrhythmia features effectively under limited abnormal sample supervision is an urgent issue to address. This paper proposed an arrhythmia classification algorithm based on an adaptive multi-feature fusion network. The algorithm extracted RR interval features from ECG signals, employed one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) to extract time-domain deep features, employed Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN) to extract frequency-domain deep features. The features were fused using adaptive weighting strategy for arrhythmia classification. The paper used the arrhythmia database jointly developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Beth Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH) and evaluated the algorithm under the inter-patient paradigm. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm achieved an average precision of 75.2%, an average recall of 70.1% and an average F ₁-score of 71.3%, demonstrating high classification accuracy and being able to provide algorithmic support for arrhythmia classification in wearable devices.

Objective:To analyze the changes in the costs of hospital rehabilitation after the reform of health insurance payments in the past 6 years, and to identify relevant factors which can provide a reference for the reform of the health insurance payment system in rehabilitation department.Methods:Information on 16, 827 patients hospitalized in the rehabilitation department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University between May 2018 and May 2024 was collected and subjected to non-parametric analysis.Results:The average hospitalization cost of rehabilitation department patients over the six years was Y14, 574.92±10, 524.79. During that time the proportion of the cost attributable to Western medicine decreased from 17.1% in 2018 to 7.6% in 2024. The proportion of the patients with hypertension was 51.94%, followed by diabetes mellitus (20.10%). Those with infections had the highest total hospitalization costs. Motor disorders were the most common dysfunction (59.02%), followed by speech disorders (17.45%). Patients with swallowing disorders had the highest hospitalization costs. After the payment system shifted from fee-for-service (FFS) to payment by diagnosis-related group (DRG) in 2023, the average daily inpatient expenditures for rehabilitation patients with all types of diseases gradually declined, reaching its lowest level in 2024.Conclusions:After the health insurance payments shifted from FFS to DRG, the proportion of in patients′ total drug costs decreased annually, and the average daily costs of patients with different types of diseases also decreased significantly, but the comprehensive service fee and diagnostic costs increased.

This article reviews the progress of clinical research on abnormal sounds after ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty, with a focus on analyzing the differences between the third-generation and fourth-generation ceramic prostheses. Abnormal sounds generally refer to high-pitched audible sounds (such as creaking, clicking, etc.) during hip joint movement after surgery, which are considered possible precursors to prosthesis fragmentation (for example, patients with abnormal sounds have more ceramic particles in the joint fluid, and some are accompanied by prosthesis fragmentation). The fundamental frequency of abnormal sounds in the third-generation ceramic prostheses ranges from 400 to 7 500 Hz (approximately 1 500 Hz in males and 2 500 Hz in females), while the acoustic characteristics of the fourth-generation ones remain unclear. The reported occurrence time of abnormal sounds varies significantly among different studies, with an average of 6.4 to 40 months after surgery. This variation may be influenced by patient characteristics, surgical technique, and prosthesis type. Abnormal sounds are considered a possible early indicator of prosthesis fragmentation; for instance, higher concentrations of ceramic particles have been detected in the synovial fluid of affected patients, and some cases have been accompanied by prosthesis fracture. The incidence of abnormal sounds with the fourth-generation prostheses ranges from 3.8% to 46.6% (with a follow-up period exceeding 10 years), while the third-generation shows rates of 0% to 19.7% with no difference between the two generations. Although the fourth-generation prostheses are superior to the third-generation in material toughness (flexural strength>1 380 MPa) and hardness, they still fail to solve the problem of abnormal sounds, and the incidence may increase with the extension of the follow-up time (for example, in some studies, the incidence at 10-year follow-up is higher than that at 5-year follow-up). Abnormal sounds are mostly associated with movements such as extreme flexion (e.g., squatting) and walking. Different sound properties (such as friction sound) correspond to specific inducing movements and locations, among which friction sound requires vigilance against the risk of prosthesis fragmentation. The risk factors include patient-related factors (height, weight, activity level, etc.), surgical factors (prosthesis position angle), and prosthesis-related factors (design, diameter, neck length, etc.). Proposed mechanisms include abnormal edge loading, stripe wear, femoral neck impingement, wear particle generation, and prosthesis mismatch. Adverse outcomes include decreased patient satisfaction with life, revision surgery (with an incidence of 0.2% to 4.65%), and prosthesis fragmentation. Currently, there are still controversies in research. Future studies need to focus on special patient groups, surgical techniques (such as robot-assisted surgery), and the optimization of prosthesis materials and designs (such as gradient structures and surface coatings) to reduce the incidence of abnormal sounds.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of 514 cases of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction using hamstring tendon autograft and to observe postoperative changes and recovery of the grafts through second-look arthroscopy.Methods This retrospective study collected data from 514 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft between May 2015 and June 2018,with a follow-up of at least one year.Knee function recovery and stability were assessed using the Lysholm score,International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC)score,and Tegner score,along with the pivot shift test and Lachman test.During the second-look arthroscopy,key observations included the synovial coverage,continuity of the reconstructed ligament,and any intra-articular abnormalities.Results The time interval between ACL reconstruction and second-look arthroscopy ranged from 12 to 28 months,with an average of 20 months.Postoperative infection occurred in 2 cases,both of which were successfully treated with arthroscopic debridement and drainage.No other patients experienced infections,graft resorption,or other complications.At the second-look arthroscopy,the Lysholm score significantly improved from(43.56±9.89)preoperative to(92.21±6.12)postoperatively,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);The IKDC score increased from(20.32±7.87)to(85.67±10.43),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);The Tegner score improved from(4.31±0.82)to(6.61±1.21),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Second-look arthroscopy revealed that the ligament remained intact in 375 patients,with partial tears in 139 patients,ligament tension was maintained in 447 patients,while 67 patients had laxity,the reconstructed ACL graft was deemed to be in good condition in 435 patients and suboptimal in 79 patients,there were significant differences observed in pre-and post-pivot shift test and Lachman test(P<0.05);Among the 514 patients,188(36.58%)successfully returned to sport.Conclusion ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon autograft effectively restores knee function and stability.In patients followed for more than one years,the grafts show good vascularization and synovial coverage.Emphasis should be placed on systematic postoperative rehabilitation to optimize recovery.
