Objective To study the spatial distribution of the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Hubei Province and its influencing factors, so as to improve the theoretical basis for scientific development of tuberculosis prevention and control measures in the future. Methods The data of reported incidence of tuberculosis and related influencing factors in various counties and districts of Hubei Province in 2020 were collected. Global Moran's I index, hotspot analysis and geographically weighted regression (GWR) model analysis were used to calculate the spatial autocorrelation of the incidence of tuberculosis, and to analyze the influencing factors affecting the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Results There were obvious regional differences in the space distribution of the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Hot spot analysis showed positive spatial correlation and obvious clustering. The GWR model (AICc=784.251) in this study had higher AICc value compared to the ordinary least squares regression (OLS) model (AICc=804.2585). The GWR model showed that the increase in the proportion of the population aged 65 and above and the proportion of the ethnic minority population had a significant promoting effect on the increase of the incidence rate of tuberculosis, and there was significant spatial heterogeneity. The effect of PM2.5 concentration on the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis varied in different regions, and the degree of effect was also different. Conclusion The proportion of people aged 65 and above and the proportion of ethnic minorities may significantly influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The effect of PM2.5 concentration varies in different regions, so targeted measures should be formulated according to the situation in different regions.

In order to meet the need of autonomous control of patients with severe limb disorders, this paper designs a nursing bed control system based on motor imagery-brain computer interface (MI-BCI). In view of the low decoding performance of cross-subjects and the dynamic fluctuation of cognitive state in the existing MI-BCI technology, the neural network structure optimization and user interaction feedback enhancement are improved. Firstly, the optimized dual-branch graph convolution multi-scale neural network integrates dynamic graph convolution and multi-scale convolution. The average classification accuracy is higher than that of multi-scale attention temporal convolution network, Gram angle field combined with convolution long short term memory hybrid network, Transformer-based graph convolution network and other existing methods. Secondly, a dual visual feedback mechanism is constructed, in which electroencephalogram (EEG) topographic map feedback can improve the discrimination of spatial patterns, and attention state feedback can enhance the temporal stability of signals. Compared with the single EEG topographic map feedback and non-feedback system, the average classification accuracy of the proposed method is also greatly improved. Finally, in the four classification control task of nursing bed, the average control accuracy of the system is 90.84%, and the information transmission rate is 84.78 bits/min. In summary, this paper provides a reliable technical solution for improving the autonomous interaction ability of patients with severe limb disorders, which has important theoretical significance and application value.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Ruyi Heibai Power (如意黑白散, RHP) in the treatment of vitiligo. MethodsTwenty-four C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, high-dose and low-dose RHP groups, with 6 mice in each group. Model group, high- and low-dose RHP groups were all applied hydroquinone to establish vitiligo animal model. After modeling, High- and low-dose RHP groups were given 7.02 g/kg and 2.34 g/kg of RHP by gavage, respectively, while the blank group and model group were intragastrically given 10ml/kg of normal saline, once a day for 36 days. After administration, the skin lesions were observed with naked eye, and HE staining was used to observe the melanin content of the skin lesions. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in skin tissue. Immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the expression of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) in the skin lesion tissue. RT-PCR was used to detect programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) mRNA expression. ELISA was used to detect serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and tyrosinase (TYR) levels. ResultsCompared to those in the blank group, the skin of the mice in the model group was pale, and the melanin content was significantly reduced under the microscope after HE staining; the rate of excellent and good skin lesions decreased, and the melanin granules in the cells around the epidermis and hair follicles decreased significantly; the expression of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in skin tissue increased significantly, and the expressions of PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1 decreased; the content of TYR decreased, while the content of SOD and TNF-α increased (P<0.05). Compared to those in the model group, the skin color of high- and low-dose RHP groups were deepened, and the melanin content increased; the rate of excellent and good skin lesions increased, as well as the melanin granules in the spinous cell layer, basal cells and hair follicles; the expression of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in the skin lesions decreased, while PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1 expression increased; the content of TYR increased, while the content of SOD and TNF-α decreased (P<0.05). Compared to the low-dose RHP group, the high-dose group had a larger pigment recovery area in the modeling area, an increased rate of excellent and good skin lesions, an increase in spinous cell layer, basal cells, and hair follicle melanin granules, a decrease in CD3+ and CD8+ T cells expression, an increase in the expression of PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1, an elevated TYR content, and decreased SOD and TNF-α contents (P<0.05). ConclusionRHP can increase skin melanin content of vitiligo mice.The mechanism of action may be related to activating the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway, and then reducing the destruction of melanocytes by T cell-mediated autoimmunity.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the prevention and control effect and epidemic characteristics of elderly tuberculosis in Hubei Province from 2016 to 2020, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of elderly tuberculosis in Hubei Province. Methods The data on tuberculosis patients aged 60 and above who registered their current address in Hubei Province from 2016 to 2020 were collected and analyzed. The registration rates and composition ratios were analyzed using χ2 test and χ2 test for trend. Results A total of 135 976 tuberculosis patients were reported in Hubei from 2016 to 2020. The annual average registration rate of elderly tuberculosis among the elderly registered residence population (referring to the registration rate of elderly registered residence population aged 60 and above as the denominator, and tuberculosis patients aged 60 and above as the numerator) was 263.51/100 000. The highest rate was 300.02/100,000 in 2017, and the lowest was 188.19/100,000 in 2020 (χ2=70,227.603, P<0.001). In terms of composition, the average annual proportion of tuberculosis patients in the 60-70 years old group was 59.60%, which decreased year by year (χ2trend=40.448,P<0.001 ). The average annual proportion of males was 73.35%, which was significantly higher than that of females (26.65%). The average annual proportion of farmers was 62.03%. From the perspective of case management, the annual average proportion of major epidemic online reports was 85.17%. The classification of cases was mainly based on clinical diagnosis, accounting for 48.33% annually and showing a decreasing trend year by year (χ2trend=740.911, P<0.001). The proportion of confirmed cases was 25.08%, which showed an increasing trend (χ2trend=380.557, P<0.001). From 2016 to 2019, the delay rate of diagnosis and treatment of elder tuberculosis patients was 49.42% (67 876/135 967), and the delay rate decreased year by year (χ2trend=323.764, P<0.001). Conclusion The elderly population with pulmonary tuberculosis in Hubei Province shows a downward trend. It is necessary to focus on the efforts of designated hospitals to proactively identify cases, increase the proportion of confirmed cases, maintain a high tracking in place, reduce medical delays, and ensure the effectiveness of tuberculosis prevention and treatment for the elderly.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)on the contraction of pregnant uterine smooth muscle at tissue and cellular levels.Methods C57BL/6J mice at 16 days of gestation were randomly divided into control group and LPS group.The mice in LPS group were intraperitoneally injected with 20 μg in LPS solution to establish the model of preterm birth,and the mice in control group were intraperitone-ally injected with the same amount of normal saline.Isolated uterine muscle strips were used to detect changes in the contractile function of the tissue,as well as changes in the expression and function of the contraction key signa-ling molecule TWIK-related K+channel 1(TREK-1).Primary cultured pregnant mouse uterine smooth muscle cells were used to detect the expression of TREK-1 under the regulation of LPS.Results The contractility of mouse u-terine tissues was significantly enhanced by LPS,and the protein expression of TREK-1,a key signal for contrac-tion,was significantly reduced,and activation of TREK-1 resulted in a significant down-regulation of the enhanced contractility of mouse uterine tissues in the LPS group.However,there was no significant difference in the expres-sion of TREK-1 protein,which was highly expressed in the smooth muscle of pregnant mice,when LPS acted on the primary uterine smooth muscle cells of pregnant mice.Conclusion Uterine contractility is enhanced in pregnant mice uterine tissues by inhibiting TREK-1 expression and function in response to LPS,and it may be one of the mechanisms by which LPS induces preterm labor.However,the effect of LPS on TREK-1 on mouse pregnant uter-ine smooth muscle cells may be realized through intercellular signaling and not directly on uterine smooth muscle cells.This further suggests that the animal and histological experiments cannot be completely replaced by isolated cell experiments in the study of inflammatory preterm labor.
