Objective:To explore the clinical application value of convolutional neural network（CNN）based on deep learning in the automatic measurement of dynamic pelvic floor ultrasound video parameters and the diagnosis and classification of cystocele.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on dynamic pelvic floor ultrasound videos from 398 postpartum women who underwent examinations at the First People's Hospital of Foshan between June 2020 and June 2022. The lowest point of the posterior bladder wall（PWB），urethral rotation angle（URA），and retrovesical angle（RVA）were manually measured by a senior radiologist（R1）and a junior radiologist（R2），and cystocele was classified according to the Green standard. The CNN model was employed to automatically extract the above parameters and to diagnose and classify cystocele. Using R1 measurements as a reference，intraclass correlation coefficient（ICC）was used to evaluate the consistency between the CNN model and R1，as well as between R2 and R1. The Kappa value was used to assess the agreement between the CNN model，R2，and R1 in the diagnosis and classification of cystocele. Additionally，the time consumption of the three measurement methods was compared.Results:The CNN model showed good consistency with R1 in measuring PWB and URA（ICC = 0.983，0.894），while its consistency in measuring RVA was moderate（ICC = 0.614）. The ICC between R2 and R1 in measuring PWB，URA，and RVA was 0.979，0.815，and 0.627，respectively. In the measurement of PWB and URA，the consistency between the CNN model and R1 was superior to that between R2 and R1. For cystocele diagnosis，the Kappa value between the CNN model and R1 was 0.924，which was higher than that between R2 and R1（0.904）. In cystocele classification，the Kappa value between the CNN model and R1 was 0.503，also higher than that between R2 and R1（0.426）. The CNN model processed a single video in 2.5（0.6）s，significantly faster than R1［59.9（16.9）s］and R2［56.8（11.2）s］（all P < 0.001）. Conclusions:The CNN model demonstrates high accuracy and efficiency in the measurement，diagnosis，and classification of cystocele，outperforming a junior radiologist and showing potential for clinical application.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of single-balloon and double-balloon enteroscopy in diagnosing pediatric small bowel diseases and assess the diagnostic efficacy of computed tomography enterography (CTE) for small bowel diseases using enteroscopy as the reference standard. METHODS: Clinical data from 576 children who underwent enteroscopy at Hunan Children's Hospital between January 2017 and December 2023 were retrospectively collected. The children were categorized based on enteroscopy type into the single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) group (n=457) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) group (n=119), and the clinical data were compared between the two groups. The sensitivity and specificity of CTE for diagnosing small bowel diseases were evaluated using enteroscopy results as the standard. RESULTS: Among the 576 children, small bowel lesions were detected by enteroscopy in 274 children (47.6%).There was no significant difference in lesion detection rates or complication rates between the SBE and DBE groups (P>0.05), but the DBE group had deeper insertion, longer procedure time, and higher complete small bowel examination rate (P<0.05). The complication rate during enteroscopy was 4.3% (25/576), with 18 cases (3.1%) of mild complications and 7 cases (1.2%) of severe complications, which improved with symptomatic treatment, surgical, or endoscopic intervention. Among the 412 children who underwent CTE, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing small bowel diseases were 44.4% and 71.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SBE and DBE have similar diagnostic efficacy for pediatric small bowel diseases, but DBE is preferred for suspected deep small bowel lesions and comprehensive small bowel examination. Enteroscopy in children demonstrates relatively good overall safety. CTE demonstrates relatively low sensitivity but comparatively high specificity for diagnosing small bowel diseases.

Panax species are mostly valuable medicinal plants. While some species' seeds are sensitive to dehydration, the dehydration tolerance of seeds from other Panax species remains unclear. The phospholipase D(PLD) gene plays an important role in plant responses to dehydration stress. However, the characteristics of the PLD gene family and their mechanisms of response to dehydration stress in seeds of Panax species with different dehydration tolerances are not well understood. This study used seeds from eight Panax species to measure the germination rates and PLD activity after dehydration and to analyze the correlation between dehydration tolerance and seed traits. Bioinformatics analysis was also conducted to characterize the PnPLD and PvPLD gene families and to evaluate their expression patterns under dehydration stress. The dehydration tolerance of Panax seeds was ranked from high to low as follows: P. ginseng, P. zingiberensis, P. quinquefolius, P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus, P. japonicus var. angustifolius, P. japonicus, P. notoginseng, and P. stipuleanatus. A significant negative correlation was found between dehydration tolerance and seed shape(three-dimensional variance), with flatter seeds exhibiting stronger dehydration tolerance(r=-0.792). Eighteen and nineteen PLD members were identified in P. notoginseng and P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus, respectively. These members were classified into five isoforms: α, β, γ, δ, and ζ. The gene structures, subcellular localization, physicochemical properties, and other characteristics of PnPLD and PvPLD were similar. Both promoters contained regulatory elements associated with plant growth and development, hormone responses, and both abiotic and biotic stress. During dehydration, the PLD enzyme activity in P. notoginseng seeds gradually increased as the water content decreased, whereas in P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus, PLD activity first decreased and then increased. The expression of PLDα and PLDδ in P. notoginseng seeds initially increased and then decreased, whereas in P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus, the expression of PLDα and PLDδ consistently decreased. In conclusion, the dehydration tolerance of Panax seeds showed a significant negative correlation with seed shape. The dehydration tolerance in P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus and dehydration sensitivity of P. notoginseng seeds may be related to differences in PLD enzyme activity and the expression of PLDα and PLDδ genes. This study provided the first systematic comparison of dehydration tolerance in Panax seeds and analyzed the causes of tolerance differences and the optimal water content for long-term storage at ultra-low temperatures, thus providing a theoretical basis for the short-term and ultra-low temperature long-term storage of medicinal plant seeds with varying dehydration tolerances.

Folate receptor α(FRα),encoded by the FOLR1 gene,is overexpressed in various solid tumors but minimally expressed in normal cells,making it a prime target for anti-tumor therapy.Antibod-y-drug conjugates(ADCs)can accurately deliver cytotoxic agents to tumor cells,enhancing treatment specificity and efficacy.Recent years have seen remarkable progress in the development of FRα-targeted ADCs,with multiple drugs entering clinical trials and demonstrating promising anti-tumor activity and safety.This review covers the latest clinical advances in FRα-targeted ADCs.It provides a detailed in-troduction to the structure and function of FRα,its expression in solid tumors,and the clinical progress of FRα-targeted ADCs.It particularly focuses on the clinical trials of drugs like Mirvetuximab Sor-avtansine,Luveltamab Tazevibulin,and Farletuzumab Ecteribulin.These drugs have shown significant anti-tumor effects in different cancer types,and Mirvetuximab Soravtansine has received FDA accelerated approval.Despite their potential,FRα ADCs face challenges in clinical applications,such as toxicity management,biomarker definition,and clinical translation.Future research should optimize FRα ADC design,including antibody selection,linker stability,and drug load efficiency,and explore their combi-nation with other therapies to enhance efficacy and broaden the therapeutic window.Additionally,in-depth studies on the role of FRα in the tumor microenvironment and its interaction with other signaling pathways will strengthen the theoretical basis for FRα ADC drug development.In summary,the develop-ment of FRα ADC drugs is rapidly advancing and is expected to offer new treatment options for FRα-posi-tive cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Tongxie yaofang （TXYF） on the symptoms of rats with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea （IBS-D） by regulating colonic tryptophan hydroxylase 1 （TPH1）， serotonin transporter （SERT） and intestinal flora. METHODS Forty-two SD rats were randomly divided into control group （7 rats） and modeling group （35 rats）. In modeling group， rat model of IBS-D was established by intragastrical administration of 0.45 g/L senna leaf solution [10 mL/（kg·d）] combined with chronic unpredictable stimulation. Thirty-five successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group， pinaverium bromide group [15 mg/（kg·d）] and TXYF low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups [3.75、7.5、15 g/（kg·d）， calculated by crude drug]， with 7 rats in each group. Each administration group was orally administered the corresponding drug， once a day， for 10 consecutive days. The general condition and weight changes of each group of rats were compared before modeling， after modeling and before administration， after the last drug intervention； the diarrhea index and visceral sensitivity were detected， and pathological changes of colon tissue were observed after modeling and before administration， after the last drug intervention. The level and expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT）， protein and mRNA expressions of TPH1 and SERT were determined in colon tissue. The diversity and structural changes of fecal intestinal flora of rats were analyzed. RESULTS There was no significant change in colon histopathology in each group. Compared with model group， the general condition of rats in each medication group improved. The daily body weight gain of rats was significantly increased， while diarrhea index， visceral sensitivity， the expressions of 5-HT and TPH1 in colon tissue were significantly decreased； SERT expression of colon tissue was significantly increased in TXYF medium-dose and high-dose groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The diarrhea index， colon TPH1 protein expression and colon 5-HT protein positive rate in the TXYF low-dose group decreased while the mRNA expression of SERT increased significantly （P＜0.05）. There was a dose- dependent trend in the effect of TXYF. Compared with model group， Chao1 index and Shannon index of the rats in TXYF high- dose group were significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， the beneficial bacteria such as Firmicutes and Lactobacillus increased significantly， while the pathogenic bacteria such as Proteobacteria， Escherichia-Shigella and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_ group decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS TXYF can decrease the level of 5-HT and improve intestinal flora disorder by inhibiting the expression of TPH1 and up-regulating the expression of SERT in colon tissue， thus promoting the symptoms of IBS-D rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of catalpol(CAT)on necrotic apoptosis in acute myocardial infarction(AMI)rats.Methods Rat AMI model was constructed by ligating the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery.Sixty SPF grade SD male rats were randomly grouped into sham surgery group(Sham group),AMI model group(Model group),low-dose CAT group(CAT-L group,30 mg·kg-1 CAT),high-dose CAT group(CAT-H group,60 mg·kg-1 CAT),and high-dose CAT+RIP1 activator recombinant RIP1 group(CAT-H+rRIP1 group,60 mg·kg-1 CAT+8 μg·kg-1 rRIP1),12 in each group.CAT was administered by gavage once a day for a total of 4 weeks.Recombinant RIP1 was administered via tail vein injection and the next day for a total of 4 weeks.Sham group and Model group were given equal amounts of physiological saline by gavage and tail vein injection,respectively.The CAT-L group and CAT-H group were injected with physiological saline via the tail vein the next day while receiving gastric lavage.TUNEL staining was applied to observe the apoptosis of rat cardiomyocytes.Western Blot was applied to detect the expression of RIP1/RIP3/MLKL signaling pathway related proteins in rat myocardial tissue.Results The apoptosis rates of myocardial cells in the sham group,model group,CAT-L group,CAT-H group,and CAT-H+rRIP1 group were(4.23±0.63)％,(33.48±3.94)％,(13.50±1.86)％,and(29.62±3.08)％,respectively;the expression levels of RIP1 protein in myocardial tissue were 0.21±0.02,0.86±0.09,0.43±0.04,and 0.72±0.07,respectively;the expression levels of RIP3 protein were 0.30±0.03,0.94±0.09,0.49±0.05,and 0.83±0.08,respectively;the phosphorylation levels of MLKL protein were 0.35±0.04,1.13±0.11,0.64±0.06,and 0.97±0.10,respectively.The above indexes in Model group were compared with those in Sham group,and those in CAT-H group were compared with those in Model group and CAT-H+rRIP1 group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion CAT may inhibit necrotic apoptosis of myocardial cells in AMI rats by down-regulating the RIP1/RIP3/MLKL signaling pathway.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the potential impact of facial heated steam treatment on the Demodex mite detection rate.Methods Overall,215 patients to suspected demodicidosis who visited the dermatology outpatient department of a tertiary hospital in Lanzhou between May and July 2023 were selected as study subjects.The facial skin scraping method was employed following no pretreatment or heated steam treatment for 10 min to detect facial Demodex.Results The Demodex mite detection rate was significantly(χ2=54.07,P=0.00)higher with heated steam facial treatment(63.7%,137/215)compared to no pretreatment(28.4%,61/215).Conclusions The results indicate a statistically significant difference in the detection rate of human Demodex mites between patients who received facial heated steam treatment and those who did not.These findings provide a novel reference for experimental diagnostic methods of demodicosis.
