Objective To propose a lead attention network-based ST-T change recognition algorithm to detect ECG ST-T changes accurately.Methods Firstly,heartbeat signals were extracted through R-wave localization,and a 12-lead heartbeat matrix was generated by correlation-based screening and merging to realize data augmentation.Secondly,a lead attention module was constructed by combining depthwise convolution(DWConv)with the channel attention squeeze-and-excitation block(SE-block)structure to perceive the differences in ST-T status among electrocardiogram leads.Thirdly,the mapping output by two independent attention modules was fused and splicing with the original signal residual was carried out,so that attention information extraction and original information transfer were enhanced effectively.Finally,SE-ResNet was used as the backbone network to extract signal features to complete the classification and identification of ST-T changes.To validate the recognition performance of the proposed algorithm for ST-T changes in ECG,the 12-lead ECG data of 97 472 patients containing different ECG rhythms were collected for ablation and comparison experiments at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University.Results The proposed algorithm achieved an AUC of 0.965 with a sensitivity of 90.51%,specificity of 90.23%,positive predictive value of 89.24%and overall accuracy of 90.36%on an independent test set.Comparative analysis demonstrated superior performance to four benchmark architectures,including VGG16,ResNet18,MobileNetV3-Small and ShuffleNet,in terms of both classification accuracy and computational efficiency.Conclusion The algorithm designed can accurately detect ST-T changes and can be used for wearable ECG automatic analysis to assist in the early warning of cardiovascular diseases in both acute and chronic patients and highland residents.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(7):1-11]

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the mechanism of Banxia Houpo Decoction (BHD) in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by integrating and utilizing the compound analysis, network pharmacology, and empirical verification. METHODS: Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) was utilized to identify the primary compounds in BHD. Network pharmacology was employed to retrieve target genes. A GERD rat model was developed and 32 SD rats were randomly divided into model, BHD-L (3 g/kg), BHD-H (6 g/kg), and mosapride (0.75 mg/kg) groups using a random number table, 8 rats in each group. Eight rats without the construction of a GERD model were selected as the blank group. Esophageal damage was evaluated through visualization and histopathology evaluation. 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels in serum and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) were determined by ELISA. LES contractility was measured with a force transducer, and serotonin transporter (SERT) and 5-HT4R expressions in LES were assessed by RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence staining, respectively. RESULTS: UPLC-HRMS analysis identified 37 absorption peaks and 157 compounds in BHD. Functional enrichment identified SERT as a significant target for LES contractility. Histopathological findings indicated less severe esophageal mucosal damage in the BHD-H group compared with the model group. Although serum 5-HT levels showed no significant difference, 5-HT concentration in LES tissue was notably higher in the BHD-H group (P<0.05). Within the range from 10^-10 to 10^-7 mmol/L, LES contractility in the BHD-H and mosapride groups was significantly increased (P<0.05). Within the range from 3 × 10^-7 to 3 × 10^-6 mmol/L 5-HT, LES contractility in the BHD-H group was increased (P<0.05). No significant difference was detected within the range from 10^-5 to 10^-4 mmol/L 5-HT. Notably, SERT expression in the BHD-H group assessed by RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence staining were significantly lower than that in the model group (all P<0.01); while 5-HT4R expression remained unchanged. CONCLUSION BHD may increase LES contractility by inhibiting SERT expression in LES tissue.

Refractory depression is a drug-resistant subtype of major depressive disorder for which there is a lack of effective and durable treatments.Seroxibine,the active substance in the mushroom Capsicum annuum,is a natural 5-hydroxytryptamine hallucinogen that activates the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor to mediate multiple aspects of antidepressant effects.In recent years,it has received renewed attention for its outstanding therapeutic effects in the treatment of refractory depression or other psychiatric disorders.Therefore,this paper summarizes the studies on neuroplasticity,brain neural connectivity network,neurotransmitters,immune factors,microbiota-gut-brain axis,and clinical efficacy of seloxipine in domestic and international literature,and explores the possible mechanisms of seloxipine's effect on refractory depression,with a view to providing theoretical basis for the clinical application of this drug.

Objective To investigate the role of squalene epoxidase(SQLE)knockout in anti-tumor effect vial im-proving CD8+T cell infiltration in melanoma tumor microenvironment.Methods Both immunodeficient and immu-nocompetent mice were inoculated with SQLE knockout B16F10 cells to determine the cell-autonomous and non-au-tonomous regulation of malignancy.Antibody blockade,Luminex multiplex assays,and flow cytometry were em-ployed to explore the impact of SQLE gene knockout on the secretion of cytokines/chemokines and immune cell in-filtration.Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to validate the correlation between SQLE expression and immune infiltration as well as clinical prognosis in melanoma patients.Results Compared with immunodeficient mice,SQLE knockout significantly inhibited melanoma proliferation in immunocompetent mice and prolonged their surviv-al.SQLE knockout induced the secretion of cytokines and chemokines from tumor cells,improved CD8+T cell in-filtration in the tumor microenvironment,thereby potentiating anti-tumor immunity.Bioinformatics analysis sugges-ted a significant correlation between SQLE and its corresponding immune infiltration markers with the prognosis of melanoma patients.Conclusion SQLE regulates anti-tumor immunity by controlling cytokines and chemokines re-leasing in tumor microenvironment,thus holding promise as a novel tumor immunotherapy target and efficacy predic-tion molecular indicator.

Objective : To investigate the willingness to receive HIV testing in primary health service institutions (PHSIs) among young students in Wuhan City, so as to provide the evidence for improving the detection of HIV testing among young students. Methods: Fifteen PHSIs were sampled using a stratified random sampling method in 14 districts of Wuhan City, and school students at ages of 15 to 24 years were sampled from each district using a convenience sampling method. Participants' demographics, awareness of AIDS-related knowledge, HIV testing and willingness to receive HIV testing were collected using questionnaires, and factors affecting the willingness to receive HIV testing in PHSIs were identified among school students using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results : A total of 301 questionnaires were allocated, and 299 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 99.34%. The respondents included 143 men (47.83%) and 156 women (52.17%), and had a mean age of (19.36±2.40) years; there were 223 respondents with an educational level of diploma and above (74.58%). The awareness of AIDS-related knowledge was 71.57% among the respondents, and 144 respondents had received AIDS-related health education in PHSIs (48.16%). There were 34 respondents that had received HIV testing (11.37%) and 203 respondents that were willing to receive HIV testing in PHSIs (67.89%). The respondents that were unwilling to receive HIV testing in PHSIs were mainly attributed to considering to be unlikely to get HIV infections (82.29%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that school students who knew AIDS-related knowledge (OR=2.797, 95%CI: 1.583-4.941), knew free HIV counseling and testing services in PHSIs (OR=2.070, 95%CI: 1.123-3.814), and had received AIDS-related health education in PHSIs (OR=2.814, 95%CI: 1.573-5.032) were more willing to receive HIV testing in PHSIs. Conclusions There were 67.89% of school students that were willing to receive HIV testing in PHSIs in Wuhan City, and the willingness to receive HIV testing was correlated with the awareness of risk of HIV infections, and awareness and experience of AIDS control services in PHSIs.
