Objective:To investigate the application value of 72-hour three-lead electrocardiogram(ECG)monitoring with adhesive patch(AP)in patients with palpitation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the medical history and ECG data of the patients who underwent 72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP due to palpitation in The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.The incidence rates of arrhythmia and transient ST-T changes were compared at 24 and 72 hours,as well as the rate difference between the detection rate of arrhythmia and transient ST-T changes at 72 hours and the detection rate at 24 hours in the context of various risk factors such as age,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,and coronary heart disease.Results:Among the 216 pa-tients with palpitation,the detection rates of various types of arrhythmia and transient ST-T changes at 72 hours were significantly higher than those at 24 hours(P<0.05).The rate difference of atrial premature beats in patients aged<60 years was significantly higher than that in patients aged≥60 years(P<0.01).The rate difference of atrial premature beats in hypertensive patients was lower than that in non-hypertensive patients(P<0.05).The rate difference of T-wave changes in patients without hypertension or coronary heart dis-ease was greater than that in patients with hypertension or coronary heart disease(P<0.01).Compared with 24-hour three-lead ECG monitoring,72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP can significantly improve the detection rate of arrhythmia and transient ST-T changes.In patients with palpitation aged<60 years or without hypertension,72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP is more sen-sitive to atrial premature beats which are consistent with self-perceived symptoms,and in patients with palpitation without hyperten-sion or coronary heart disease,72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP is more sensitive to transient T-wave changes associated with symptoms.Conclusion:The technique of 72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP greatly promotes the accuracy and timeli-ness of diagnosis,reduces the economic burden of patients with pal-pitations,and optimizes the allocation of medical resources.

Objective To analyze the prevalence of dengue fever in Guangzhou based on circuit-qi theory.Methods Data on dengue fever cases in Guangzhou from January 21,2012,to January 19,2024 were collected.And then the incidence of dengue fever was analyzed under the circuit-qi conditions of dominant qi,guest qi,celestial qi,joining of guest qi with dominant qi,and dissimilation of circuit and qi.Results Higher incidence of dengue fever in Guangzhou was presented under the circuit-qi conditions of the fifth qi of the dominant qi in each year,shaoyang minister fire of the guest qi,shaoyin monarch fire of the celestial qi,guest qi restricting dominant qi in the joining of guest qi with dominant qi,shaoyang minister fire(guest qi)joining with yangming dry-metal(dominant qi)in the pattern of guest qi restricting dominant qi.The outbreak of dengue fever under the circuit-qi conditions of dissimilation of circuit and qi showed no statistically significant difference.Conclusion Over the 12-year period from 2012 to 2024,the prevalence of dengue fever in Guangzhou exhibited a 4-5-year cyclical pattern,often with consecutive outbreaks over two years.The prevalence of dengue fever in Guangzhou is associated with the factors of dampness and heat in the theory of five circuits and six qi,while has less relation with dissimilation of circuit and qi.

Objective:To construct a machine-learning model for predicting the progression of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) based on clinical and CT features, and to evaluate its predictive performance in internal/external testing cohorts.Methods:Baseline clinical and radiological data of 200 PCLs in 177 patients undergoing abdominal thin slice enhanced CT examination at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2014 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected. PCLs were divided into progressive and non-progressive groups according to whether the signs indicated for surgery by the guidelines of the European study group on PCLs were present during three-year follow-up. 200 PCLs were randomly divided into training (150 PCLs) and internal testing cohorts (50 PCLs) at the ratio of 1∶3. 15 PCLs in 14 patients at Jinling Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Nanjing University from October 2011 to May 2020 were enrolled as external testing cohort. The clinical and CT radiological features were recorded. Multiple feature selection methods and machine-learning models were implemented and combined to identify the optimal machine-learning model based on the 10-fold cross-validation method. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was drawn and area under curve (AUC) was calculated. The model with the highest AUC was determined as the optimal model. The optimal model's predictive performance was evaluated on testing cohort by calculating AUC, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Permutation importance was used to assess the importance of optimal model features. Calibration curves of the optimal model were established to evaluate the model's clinical applicability by Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Results:In training and internal testing cohorts, the progressive and non-progressive groups were significantly different on history of pancreatitis, lesions size, main pancreatic duct diameter and dilation, thick cyst wall, presence of septation and thick septation (all P value <0.05) In internal testing cohort, the two groups were significantly different on gender, lesion calcification and pancreatic atrophy (all P value <0.05). In external testing cohort, the two groups were significantly different on lesions size and pancreatic duct dilation (both P<0.05). The support vector machine (SVM) model based on five features selected by F test (lesion size, thick cyst wall, history of pancreatitis, main pancreatic duct diameter and dilation) achieved the highest AUC of 0.899 during cross-validation. SVM model for predicting the progression of PCLs demonstrated an AUC of 0.909, sensitivity of 82.4%, specificity of 72.7%, and accuracy of 76.0% in the internal testing cohort, and 0.944, 100%, 77.8%, and 86.7% in the external testing cohort. Calibration curved showed that the predicted probability by the model was comparable to the real progression of PCLs. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test affirmed the model's consistency with actual PCLs progression in testing cohorts. Conclusions:The SVM model based on clinical and CT features can help doctors predict the PCLs progression within three-year follow-up, thus achieving efficient patient management and rational allocation of medical resource.

Organ transplantation is the most effective treatment for all categories of end-stage organ diseases. To resolve the shortage of donors in organ transplantation, widespread attention has been diverted to xenotransplantation. At present, clinicians mainly highlight the problems related to xenotransplantation rejection and viral infection. The physiology of xenotransplantation has been rarely studied. Kidney performs endocrine function by producing erythropoietin (EPO), renin and activating vitamin D. Although these pathways are usually well preserved in allogeneic transplantation, species-specific differences, especially those between pigs and non-human primates, may still affect the physiological function of transplant organs. In this article, the changes of EPO, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and active vitamin D₃ of pig and human after xenotransplantation were illustrated, aiming to provide reference for subclinical research of xenotransplantation.

Objective To explore the effects of low centrifugal force on sperm morphology analysis of normal and non-liquefied semen samples.Methods A total of 169 patients who underwent semen routine examination and sperm morphology analysis at the Reproduc-tive Center of the 904th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from January 2021 to December 2021 were collected as the study subjects.Among them,126 were the patients with normal semen routine parameters,and 43 with non-liquefied semen.The mor-phological analysis results of 126 normal semen samples treated by the direct smear method and centrifugation methods under two differ-ent of low centrifugal force were compared.The results of morphological analysis for the 43 non-liquefied semen samples treated by the direct smear method after promoting liquefaction and centrifugation were compared.Results The percentage of normal morphological sperm[(9.39±0.50)％]obtained by centrifugation of 340xg centrifugal force for 10 min was significantly lower than that[(11.08± 0.41)％]obtained by the direct smear method,and the abnormal rate of sperm in the middle segment[(62.05±1.44)％]obtained by centrifugation of 340xg centrifugal force was significantly higher than that[(57.17±0.82)％]obtained by the direct smear method.The percentage of normal morphological sperm[(9.41±0.57)％]obtained by centrifugation at 151×g centrifugal force was significantly lower than that obtained by the direct smear method,and the abnormal rate of sperm in the middle segment[(60.95±1.17)％]ob-tained by centrifugation at 151×g centrifugal force was significantly higher than that obtained by the direct smear method.For non-lique-fied semen samples,the percentage of normal morphological sperm obtained by centrifugation at 340xg centrifugal force for 10 min was[(9.61±0.60)％],while that obtained by the direct smear method after promoting liquefaction was[(11.10±0.73)％].The difference was not statistically significant between the two methods.The abnormal rate of sperm in the middle segment[(60.21±1.51)％]ob-tained by the centrifugation method was also not significantly different from that[(57.36±1.34)％]obtained by the direct smear meth-od after promoting liquefaction.Conclusion Both kinds of low centrifugal force affected the sperm morphology.However,the low cen-trifugal force has no significant effect on the non-liquefied semen.In the clinical application of sperm morphology analysis,the nature of male semen should be referred to determine whether the centrifugation is need or not and the magnitude of centrifugal force.
