Retrieving keyframes most relevant to text from small intestine videos with given labels can efficiently and accurately locate pathological regions. However, training directly on raw video data is extremely slow, while learning visual representations from image-text datasets leads to computational inconsistency. To tackle this challenge, a small bowel video keyframe retrieval based on multi-modal contrastive learning (KRCL) is proposed. This framework fully utilizes textual information from video category labels to learn video features closely related to text, while modeling temporal information within a pretrained image-text model. It transfers knowledge learned from image-text multimodal models to the video domain, enabling interaction among medical videos, images, and text data. Experimental results on the hyper-spectral and Kvasir dataset for gastrointestinal disease detection (Hyper-Kvasir) and the Microsoft Research video-to-text (MSR-VTT) retrieval dataset demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of KRCL, with the proposed method achieving state-of-the-art performance across nearly all evaluation metrics.

Objective:
To investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention status among residents with intra-urban migration in Central China, so as to provide insights into targeted prevention and control of CVD.
Methods:
Basic data of residents aged 35 to 75 years who participated in Early Screening and Comprehensive Intervention Project for CVD high-risk populations in Central China from September 2015 to August 2020 were collected. According to birth place, type of registered residence and current residence, residents were divided into four groups: local residents in old urban area, local residents in new urban area, other urban migrants and other rural migrants. The status of CVD primary and secondary prevention, were analysed by using a robust Poisson regression model.
Results:
A total of 76 513 residents were recruited, including 29 420 males (38.45%) and 47 093 females (61.55%), and had a mean age of (56.36±9.84) years. There were 45 087 (58.93%) local residents in old urban area, 23 868 (31.19%) local residents in new urban area, 5 668 (7.41%) other urban migrants and 1 890 (2.47%) other rural migrants. After adjusting for variables such as age, gender and educational level, the results of robust Poisson regression analysis showed that compared with local residents in old urban area, local residents in new urban area had lower compliance rates of non- or moderate-drinking (RR=0.987, 95%CI: 0.975-1.000) and healthy diet (RR=0.535, 95%CI: 0.365-0.782), lower proportion of using aspirin as primary prevention in CVD high-risk population (RR=0.616, 95%CI: 0.511-0.741), lower awareness (RR=0.873, 95%CI: 0.782-0.974) and control rates (RR=0.730, 95%CI: 0.627-0.849) of hypertension; other urban migrants had higher compliance rate of non-smoking (RR=1.045, 95%CI: 1.017-1.075); other rural migrants had lower proportion of using aspirin as primary prevention in CVD high-risk population (RR=0.826, 95%CI: 0.707-0.966).
Conclusion
The CVD primaryprevention among local residents in new urban area is relatively poor among four groups of residents in Central China, and key interventions are needed.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of lead(Pb2+)on γ-amino-butyric acid(GABA)A receptor-mediated currents(IGABA)and GABAergic synaptic transmission in rat cortical neurons.METHODS ①The cortical neurons from 0 d Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were cultured for experiments.The cultured cells(7-14 d)were recorded using the patch-clamp technique to analyze the effects of Pb2+ at different concentrations(1,5,10,50 and 100 μmol·L-1)on IGABA induced by GABA 100 μmol·L-1.② The effects of Pb2+ 50 μmol·L-1 on IGABA induced by GABA at different concentrations(1,10,50,100,500 and 100 μmol·L-1)were detected.③Brain slices(350 μm)were prepared from SD rats(15-19 d).The spontaneous inhibitory post-synaptic currents(sIPSCs),miniature inhibitory post-synaptic currents(mIPSCs)and current injection-induced action potential(AP)were recorded to detect the effects of Pb2+ 10 μmol·L-1 on the amplitude and frequency of sIPSCs and mIPSCs,and the frequency of AP.RESULTS ①Pb2+ inhibited IGABA in a concentration-dependent manner,and IC50 was(68±20)μmol·L-1.②Pb2+ also suppressed the maximum current induced by GABA(P<0.01),with a significant increase of the GABA′s EC50 from(20±6)μmol·L-1 to(87±39)μmol·L-1,indicating that Pb2+ might inhibit IGABA in a non-competitive mechanism.③Pb2+ 10 μmol·L-1 inhibited the frequency(P<0.01)rather than the ampli-tude of sIPSCs reversibly,but had no effect on eigher the frequency or amplitude of mIPSCs.In addi-tion,Pb2+ decreased the frequency of evoked AP by current injection(P<0.01)and reduced the overall excitability of rat cortical neurons.CONCLUSION Pb2+ can significantly inhibit IGABA in primary cultured neurons.In the brain slice experiment,Pb2+ may affect sIPSCs frequency by inhibiting the AP of cortical neurons,suggesting that there are different intrinsic mechanisms through which Pb2+ inhibits both IGABA in primary cultured neurons and the frequency of sIPSCs in brain slice neurons,which points to the complexity of the mechanism of Pb2+ poisoning.

Objective To explore the biomechanical responses of the cupula of the human semicircular canal to three basic rotational perception processes.Methods A one-dimensional visual semicircular canal model was successfully fabricated using three-dimensional printing and hydrogel physical cross-linking technologies,and the response deformation of the cupula was explored by applying constant angular velocity,constant angular acceleration,and sinusoidal oscillation stimulations.Results The time constant of the biomimetic semicircular canal model was stable at approximately 3 s and close to the human time constant.The displacement deformation of the ampullary cupula was proportional to the angular acceleration applied.Under sinusoidal oscillation stimulation of 0.07-5.00 Hz,the gain of the semicircular canal increased from 1.54 um/° rises to 42.34 μm/°,but the phase difference decreased from 109.72° to 11.27°.Conclusions The biomimetic semicircular canal model prepared in this study can accurately simulate the working mechanism of the human semicircular canal and is expected to play a role in mechanism research and disease diagnosis of the human vestibular semicircular canal.

Benign anastomotic stenosis remains a common complication after bilojejunal anastomosis. Its pathogenesis includes the histology of bile duct, bile erosion, and inappropriate choice of surgical anastomosis or suture materials. Biliojejunal anastomotic stenosis can be determined preoperatively by MRCP, CT, and three-dimensional image reconstruction. Surgery remains treatment of choice for most cases, including surgical reconstruction and minimally invasive treatment, while the incidence of restenosis, residual stone, and reoperation is still high. Surgeons are still in search of optimal treatment modality to avoid anastomotic stenosis. In this article, we review the literature and summarize the latest clinical progress in the diagnosis and treatment of biliojejunal anastomotic stenosis combined with hepatic ductal stones.

OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the immunogenicity and osteogenic ability of animal-derived bone graft material decellularized with supercritical carbon dioxide.
METHODS:
Porcine femurs were randomly divided into two groups after preliminary treatment, and decellularized with conventional method (control group) or supercritical carbon dioxide (experimental group). Allogenic demineralized bone matrix was used as positive control. Clearance rate of galactose-α-1, 3-galactose (α-Gal) antigen was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and residual DNA was detected by a fluorescence method. Nine SPF-grade male athymic nude mice of 6 weeks old were randomly divided into experimental, control and positive control groups. Samples were implanted over biceps femoris muscle of athymic nude mice. The explants were collected 4 weeks post implantation. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry were applied to determine the osteogenic ability and bone tissue-associated protein expressions of the implants.
RESULTS:
The clearance rates of α-Gal antigen in the experimental group and the control group were (99.09±0.26)% and (30.18±2.02)%, respectively (t=58.67, P<0.01). The residual DNA of the experimental, control and positive control groups were (13.49±0.07), (15.20±0.21) and (14.70±0.17) ng/mg. The residual DNA in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (t=-13.41, P<0.01) and positive control group (t=-11.30, P<0.01). HE staining results showed that multiple bone formation centers with active osteogenesis and rich bone marrow were observed in experimental group 4 weeks after implantation, but only a small number of bone formation centers were observed in the control and positive control groups, with no obvious osteoblasts present. Immunohistochemistry results indicated that the expressions of alkaline phosphatase, Runt-related transcription factor 2, collagen typeⅠand osteocalcin in the experimental group showed an increasing trend compared with those in the control and positive control groups.
CONCLUSIONS
Compared with clinically used allogenic demineralized bone matrix and bone graft material decellularized with conventional method, bone graft material decellularized with supercritical carbon dioxide exhibits lower immunogenicity and better osteogenic ability.
