ObjectiveTo explore the changes in volatile components, total polysaccharides, enzyme activity, and chromaticity value of Myristicae Semen Koji(MSK) during the fermentation process, and conduct correlation analysis. MethodsBased on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS), the changes of volatile components in MSK at different fermentation times were identified. The phenol sulfuric acid method, dinitrosalicylic acid method(DNS), and carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt method(CMC-Na) were used to investigate the total polysaccharide content, amylase activity, and cellulase activity during the fermentation process. Visual analysis technology was used to explore the changes in chromaticity values, revealing the fermentation process of MSK and the dynamic changes of various measurement indicators, partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA) was used to explore the differential compounds of MSK at different fermentation degrees, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between volatile components of MSK and total polysaccharides, enzyme activity, and chromaticity values. ResultsA total of 60 volatile compounds were identified from MSK, the relative contents of components such as (+)-α-pinene, β-phellandrene, β-pinene, (+)-limonene, and p-cymene obviously increased, while the relative contents of components such as safrole, methyl isoeugenol, methyleugenol, myristicin, and elemicin significantly decreased. During the fermentation process, the total polysaccharide content showed an upward trend, while the activities of amylase and cellulase showed an initial increase followed by a decrease, and reached their maximum value at 40 h. the overall brightness(L*) and total color difference(ΔE*) gradually increased, while the changes in red-green value(a*) and yellow-blue value(b*) were not obvious. PLS-DA results showed that MSK could be clearly distinguished at different fermentation times, and 13 differential biomarkers were screened out. Pearson correlation analysis results showed that the contents of α-terpinene, β-phellandrene, methyleugenol, β-cubebene and myristic acid had an obvious correlation with chromaticity values. ConclusionAfter fermentation, the volatile components, total polysaccharides, amylase activity, and cellulase activity of MSK undergo significant changes, and there is a clear correlation between them and chromaticity values, which reveals the dynamic changes in the fermentation process and related indicators of MSK, laying a foundation for the quality control.

Objective:To explore the relative factors for best ovarian response in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology with follicular phase long-acting long protocol, and to establish a Nomogram prediction model of ovarian response.Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed the clinical data of 1289 patients who received assisted reproductive treatment in the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital from July 1, 2018 to July 30, 2019. According to the number of oocytes retrieved, there were 164 cases in the low ovarian response group (≤5 oocytes retrieved), 891 cases in the normal ovarian response group (the number of retrieved oocytes was >5, and ≤18), and 234 cases in the high ovarian response group (>18 oocytes retrieved). Independent factors affecting ovarian reactivity were screened by logistic regression, which were the model entry variables, and a Nomogram prediction model was established based on the regression coefficients in the model.Results:There were statistically significant differences in age, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and antral follicle count (AFC) among the three groups [32.43±3.99, 31.48±3.89, 29.91±3.73; (2.53±1.90) μg/L, (3.79±2.20) μg/L, (5.94±3.12) μg/L; 10.24±3.10, 14.50±3.29, 19.81±3.44; all P<0.001]. There were no significant differences in body mass index (BMI), duration of infertility and causes of tubal infertility (all P>0.05). The initial dosage of gonadotropin (Gn) used for ovarian hyperstimulation among the three groups was statistically different [(182.62±53.96) U, (166.79±48.20) U, (159.13±43.92) U, P<0.001], while the duration of Gn used and clinical pregnancy rate had no significant differences (all P>0.05). Multifactorial stepwise aggression analysis showed that female age [0.93(0.90-0.96), P=0.007], AFC [1.07(1.03-1.09), P=0.001], AMH [1.29(1.20-1.39), P=0.001], basal follicle-stimulating hormone [0.79(0.73-0.86), P=0.001], luteinizing hormone value [1.11(1.06-1.23), P=0.010], initial dosage of Gn used [1.00(1.00-1.01), P=0.003], total dosage of Gn usd [1.00(0.99-1.00), P=0.001] and the presence or absence of diagnosis of endometriosis [0.63(0.47-0.86), P=0.001] and polycystic ovary syndrome [0.30(0.22-0.91), P=0.030] were independent factors for the occurrence of different ovarian responses during ovarian hyperstimulation. The prediction model of ovarian reactivity was constructed based on the above factors, and the accuracy of predicting the optimal ovarian response state was 95%. The above model was verified with 306 patients' data from August 1, 2019 to October 30, 2019 in this center, and the predicted ovarian response (number of oocytes obtained) of a total of 279 patients was consistent with the actual situation, with a coincidence degree of 91.2%. The consistency index of the model was 0.71. Conclusion:We screened out the relevant factors affecting ovarian response in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology with follicular phase long-acting long protocol, and established a Nomogram prediction model of ovarian response, which could effectively, intuitively and visually predict ovarian reactivity in hyperstimulation.

Objective:To construct a real-time monitoring system based on computer vision for monitoring withdrawal speed of colonoscopy and to validate its feasibility and performance.Methods:A total of 35 938 images and 63 videos of colonoscopy were collected in endoscopic database of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from May to October 2018. The images were divided into two datasets, one dataset included in vitro, in vivo and unqualified colonoscopy images, and another dataset included ileocecal and non-cecal area images. And then 3 594 and 2 000 images were selected respectively from the two datasets for testing the deep learning model, and the remaining images were used to train the model. Three colonoscopy videos were selected to evaluate the feasibility of real-time monitoring system, and 60 colonoscopy videos were used to evaluate its performance.Results:The accuracy rate of the deep learning model for classification for in vitro, in vivo, and unqualified colonoscopy images was 90.79% (897/988), 99.92% (1 300/1 301), and 99.08% (1 293/1 305), respectively, and the overall accuracy rate was 97.11% (3 490/3 594). The accuracy rate of identifying ileocecal and non-cecal area was 96.70% (967/1 000) and 94.90% (949/1 000), respectively, and the overall accuracy rate was 95.80% (1 916/2 000). In terms of feasibility evaluation, 3 colonoscopy videos data showed a linear relationship between the retraction speed and the image processing interval, which indicated that the real-time monitoring system automatically monitored the retraction speed during the colonoscopy withdrawal process. In terms of performance evaluation, the real-time monitoring system correctly predicted entry time and withdrawal time of all 60 examinations, and the results showed that the withdrawal speed and withdrawal time was significantly negative-related ( R=-0.661, P<0.001). The 95% confidence interval of withdrawal speed for the colonoscopy with withdrawal time of less than 5 min, 5-6 min, and more than 6 min was 43.90-49.74, 40.19-45.43, and 34.89-39.11 respectively. Therefore, 39.11 was set as the safe withdrawal speed and 45.43 as the alarm withdrawal speed. Conclusion:The real-time monitoring system we constructed can be used to monitor real-time withdrawal speed of colonoscopy and improve the quality of endoscopy.
