Current experimental and computational methods have limitations in accurately and efficiently classifying ion channels within vast protein spaces. Here we have developed a deep learning algorithm, GPT2 Ion Channel Classifier (GPT2-ICC), which effectively distinguishing ion channels from a test set containing approximately 239 times more non-ion-channel proteins. GPT2-ICC integrates representation learning with a large language model (LLM)-based classifier, enabling highly accurate identification of potential ion channels. Several potential ion channels were predicated from the unannotated human proteome, further demonstrating GPT2-ICC's generalization ability. This study marks a significant advancement in artificial-intelligence-driven ion channel research, highlighting the adaptability and effectiveness of combining representation learning with LLMs to address the challenges of imbalanced protein sequence data. Moreover, it provides a valuable computational tool for uncovering previously uncharacterized ion channels.

Objective:To analyze the evaluation of the “1+1+2M” healthcare management model (outpatient core medical staff+ward core medical staff+multi interdisciplinary team+multi department coordination) by healthcare workers in a large public hospital and its influencing factors.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study, using the judgment sampling method to select 70 healthcare workers in the hospital healthcare department in November 2024. A self-designed public hospital healthcare management model evaluation questionnaire was used to investigate the “1+1+2M” healthcare management model. A total of 70 questionnaires were distributed, and 70 valid questionnaires were collected (100%). The basic information, team integration, human resource allocation, and evaluation of healthcare management models in the healthcare workers were collected. The factors affecting healthcare worker evaluation were identified with Kruskal Wallis test and multiple logistic regression analysis.Results:Among the 70 healthcare workers included in the analysis, there were 30 doctors, 30 nursing staff, and 10 management/technical personnel; 19 males and 51 females; more than 70% of the participants were aged 50 years or younger; the length of service was (19.11±9.44) years, and the length of service for healthcare was (9.79±6.06) years. Healthcare workers showed high satisfaction with the “1+1+2M” healthcare management model, with an overall satisfaction rate of 87.14% (61/70). The evaluation of work collaboration, business norms, and mode configuration by healthcare workers was positively correlated with the evaluation of healthcare management mode [very satisfied with health management mode: relatively satisfied with work collaboration ( OR=0.064, 95% CI: 0.004-0.965), satisfied with business norms ( OR=0.018, 95% CI: 0.001-0.312), relatively satisfied with business norms ( OR=0.061, 95% CI: 0.004-0.938), satisfied with mode configuration ( OR=0.006, 95% CI: 0.000-0.111); satisfied with health management mode: satisfied with business norms ( OR=0.049, 95% CI: 0.005-0.498), satisfied with mode configuration ( OR=0.074, 95% CI: 0.006-0.943)] (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The health care staff in a large public hospital have a good evaluation of the operation effect of the “1+1+2M”health management model. The higher the evaluation of work collaboration, business norms, and model configuration by the health care staff, the higher the overall satisfaction with the health management model.

Objective:To analyze the present status and problems for management services in a public hospital, and explore the strategies to enhance the performance of hospital management services drawing on the experience of the reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services in the public service sector.Methods:In June 2023, a convenience sampling method was employed to select staff from all clinical departments, medical technology departments, and administrative units within a tertiary public hospital as survey participants. An anonymous online questionnaire was conducted to assess overall satisfaction with hospital management services, satisfaction with the " one-stop" service windows, satisfaction with individual administrative departments, and to gather suggestions for improving hospital management services. The Likert 5-level scoring method was used to evaluate the satisfaction. Suggestions and opinions were categorized and analyzed based on the three dimensions of the reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services.Results:A total of 962 valid questionnaires were collected. The overall satisfaction score for hospital management service was 4.40±0.89 points, with interdepartmental collaboration scoring the lowest score at 4.26±0.99 points. Information management, outpatient services, and research management processes were identified as areas requiring optimization, each mentioned over 100 times. Excessive and overly frequent inspection and evaluations, as well as documentation requirements were the most prominent manifestations of formalism and bureaucracy within administrative units. The average satisfaction score for the " one-stop" service windows was 4.59±0.68 points, and unclear service guidelines/processes and incomplete information provided by window staff were the primary causes of multiple return visits. The average satisfaction score of 32 administrative units was 4.53±0.09 points. A total of 322 valid suggestions were collected, with 13.35% concerning " streamline administration and delegate power", 28.58% addressing " improve regulation", and 58.07% focused on " upgrade services" .Conclusions:Staff at the hospital expressed overall satisfaction with the institution′s management services, but noted areas for improvement in departmental coordination, management of operational processes, and the implementation of the " one-stop service" initiative, and so on. Hospitals should optimize the following aspects: improving " upgrade services" as the primary task and important approach, focusing on building a service-oriented management culture; adhering to the " improve regulation", establishing and improving the modern hospital management system; deepening the " streamline administration and delegate power", transforming management styles and simplifying approval interventions.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the differential genes derived from transcriptome mRNA sequencing and prognosis among heart failure patients with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).Methods:This was a case-control study. Ten patients with HFmrEF and 10 patients with HFpEF treated at TEDA International Cardiovascular Disease Hospital from November 2021 to January 2022 were selected and differentially expressed genes were screened by transcriptome mRNA sequencing. Ten healthy people served as control group. In addition, 50 patients with HFmrEF, 62 patients with HFpEF, who were treated at TEDA International Cardiovascular Disease Hospital at the same period, were selected as validation groups, 57 healthy people served as control validation group. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of differential genes in each group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the differential diagnosis and prognostic value of differential genes in these patients. Patients were followed up regularly to document adverse events within 1 year after discharge including cardiac death and readmission for heart failure. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier curves and tested by log rank test. Cox regression analysis was used to explore whether differential mRNA was risk factors for poor prognosis in HFmrEF and HFpEF patients.Results:A total of four genes were differentially expressed (three upregulated and one downregulated gene) between the HFmrEF group and HFpEF group (adjust P<0.05). SLC12A1, C15orf48 and SPP1 were associated with the progress of cardiovascular disease, and selected for validation in the clinical cohort. RT-qPCR results showed that the gene expression of SLC12A1 in the HFmrEF group was significantly higher than that in the HFpEF group ( P<0.001). The AUC for the adjunctive differential diagnostic value of SLC12A1 for HFmrEF and HFpEF was 0.802 ( P<0.001) and the AUC of SLC12A1 with a cut-off value of 6.634 was 0.737 ( P=0.003) in determining poor prognosis in patients with HFpEF. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with SLC12A1≤6.634 had a higher incidence of adverse cardiac events than patients with SLC12A1 >6.634 ( P=0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of adverse cardiac events in the SLC12A1 ≤6.634 group was 6.787 times higher than in the SLC12A1 >6.634 group ( HR=6.787, P=0.011). Conclusions:Transcriptome mRNA sequencing analysis is valuable for detecting clinical relevant differentially expressed genes in HFmrEF and HFpEF patients, among which SLC12A1 can be used as a novel molecular biomarker to aid the differential diagnosis of HFmrEF and HFpEF. In addition, SLC12A1 may be used as an adjunctive biomarker for the prognosis evaluation in patients with HFpEF.

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound features modified version 2022 of the Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging Reporting and Data System(O-RADS)Category 4 in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted in 501 cases with ovarian masses classified into 4 categories according to the 2022 version of O-RADS who were collected from 4 clinical centers[the Second Afliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University(188 cases),Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital(146 cases),Sichuan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital(90 cases),and Fuling Hospital of Chongqing University(77 cases)]from January 2018 to July 2024 with concomitant surgical resection.The 424 cases from 3 of the clinical centers(the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University,Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital,and Sichuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital)were randomly divided into a training group(339 cases)and an internal validation group(85 cases)according to an 8∶2 randomization,while the cases from the other clinical center(Fuling Hospital of Chongqing University)were selected as the external validation group(77 cases),and the pathological diagnosis was used as the “gold standard”.Univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analyses were performed on the ultrasound characteristics of the training group to screen the independent predictors associated with ovarian carcinogenesis,and to formulate the stratification rules for the 4 types of masses in O-RADS. The ROC curve of this stratification method was plotted and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated,and it was validated in the internal validation group and the external validation group;and the diagnostic accuracy was compared with that of the 2022 version of O-RADS.Results:Univariate logistic analysis showed that cysts with solid components,≥ 4 papillary projections,smooth inner wall of the cyst,color flow score ≥ 3 points,and acoustic shadowing were independent predictors of ovarian cancer(all P < 0.05);while multifactorial logistic analysis showed that cysts with a solid component and a color flow score ≥3 points were independent risk factors of ovarian cancer(all P < 0.05),and smooth cyst walls and acoustic shadows were independent protective factors(all P < 0.05).The diagnostic accuracies of the modified training group,internal validation group,and external validation group were 73.7%,68.2%,70.1%,respectively,which were significantly higher than the diagnostic accuracies of the 2022 version of the O-RADS(38.9%,37.6%,33.8%)(all P < 0.05).The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and AUC of the training group were 0.871,0.652,0.762,respectively,while the internal validation group were 0.844,0.585,0.714,and 0.846,0.627,0.737 in the external validation group. Conclusions:Improvement of the 2022 version of O-RADS category 4 using ultrasound features may improve the identification of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors.

Objective:To analyze the real-world practices of resecting sessile colorectal polyps of varying long diameters using cold forcep polypectomy (CFP), cold snare polypectomy (CSP), or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR).Methods:A total of 12 290 nonpedunculated colorectal polyps of long diameter ≤19 mm (from 10 295 patients) were retrospectively enrolled from January 2022 to December 2023. Polypectomy was conducted by 30 endoscopists. The polyps were categorized into three groups based on long diameter: 1-5 mm, >5-10 mm and >10-19 mm, and the differences of polypectomy methods were compared in three groups. The usage of hemostatic clips in CSP among >5-10 mm polyps and the changes in resection methods between 2022 and 2023 were analyzed.Results:CFP (6 769 polyps, 81.7%) was the predominant method for resecting 1-5 mm sessile polyps (8 289 polyps). For sessile polyps sized >5-10 mm (2 455 polyps), CSP was used most (1 372, 55.9%), although its utilization varied significantly among physicians with the median usage rate of 52.9% (40.3%, 60.0%). EMR (1 349 poolyps, 87.3%) was the main method for >10-19 mm sessile polyps. The usage rate of CSP in sessile polypectomy for polyps >5-10 mm significantly increased from 45.7% (503/1 101) in 2022 to 64.2% (869/1 354) in 2023. The overall frequency of using clip in CSP for >5-10 mm sessile polyps was 40.1% (550/1 372), demonstrating notable variability among different endoscopists with median usage rate of 48.3% (29.8%, 67.9%).Conclusion:Varied resection methods are observed among endoscopists for sessile polyps measuring ≤19 mm. CFP is primarily utilized for polyps of 1-5 mm, while CSP is favored for polyps >5-10 mm, with an increasing annual usage rate. EMR is the main approach for the polyps >10-19 mm. Additionally, notable variations in the use of metal clips during CSP are observed among different physicians.
