Objective:To explore the effectiveness of a hysteroscopic endometrial lesion diagnosis model de-veloped based on deep learning(DL)algorithm combined with gradient-weighted class activation mapping(Grad-CAM)visualization technology.Methods:303 hysteroscopy videos(4781 images)of 291 patients who un-derwent hysteroscopy examination in the Department of Gynecology,Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from June 1,2021 to December 31,2022 were selected.The dataset was divided into a training set(3703 images)and a test set(1078 images)by weight sampling method.After the training set was used for model learning and train-ing,two model architectures,residual neural network(ResNet18)and efficient neural network(EfficientNet-B0),were selected to verify the model in the test set by five-class and two-class classification tasks,respectively.Tak-ing histopathology as the gold standard,the diagnostic efficacy was evaluated to select the optimal model,and the Grad-CAM layer was embedded in the optimal model to output hysteroscopy images of Grad-CAM.Results:①In the five-class classification tasks,the accuracy of EfficientNet-B0 model(93.23％)was higher than that of Res-Net18 model(84.23％);the area under the curve(AUC)of EfficientNet-B0 model in the diagnosis of five disea-ses,including atypical endometrial hyperplasia,endometrial polyps,endometrial cancer,endometrial atypical hy-perplasia,and submucous myoma,was slightly higher than that of ResNet18 model,and the AUC of both models was almost above 0.980.②In the binary classification task of accuracy and the evaluation of specificity,the two models were similar,both above 93.00％,and the sensitivity of EfficientNet-B0 model(91.14％)was significantly better than that of ResNet18 model(77.22％).③EfficientNet-B0 model combined with Grad-CAM algorithm could identify the abnormal areas in the image.After biopsy and pathological examination,it was confirmed that about 95％of the marked areas in the model's output heatmap were lesion areas.Conclusions:The hysteroscopy di-agnostic model developed by EfficientNet-B0 model combined with Grad-CAM has high diagnostic accuracy,sen-sitivity,and specificity,and has application value in the diagnosis of endometrial lesions.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is the most common fusion gene involved in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and remarkable response has been achieved with the use of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs). However, the clinical efficacy is highly variable. Pre-existing intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) has been proven to contribute to the poor treatment response and the resistance to targeted therapies. In this work, we investigated whether the variant allele frequencies (VAFs) of ALK fusions can help assess ITH and predict targeted therapy efficacy. Through the application of next-generation sequencing (NGS), 7.2% (326/4548) of patients were detected to be ALK positive. On the basis of the adjusted VAF (adjVAF, VAF normalization for tumor purity) of four different threshold values (adjVAF < 50%, 40%, 30%, or 20%), the association of ALK subclonality with crizotinib efficacy was assessed. Nonetheless, no statistical association was observed between median progression-free survival (PFS) and ALK subclonality assessed by adjVAF, and a poor correlation of adjVAF with PFS was found among the 85 patients who received first-line crizotinib. Results suggest that the ALK VAF determined by hybrid capture-based NGS is probably unreliable for ITH assessment and targeted therapy efficacy prediction in NSCLC.

Objective:To explore the effect and underlying mechanism of casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) on hepatocyte apoptosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:Experimental study. An NAFLD cell model was established by inducing human hepatoma cell line, HepG 2 cells, with oleic acid (OA). Flag-CKIP-1 expression vector and shRNA-CKIP-1 were transfected into HepG 2 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of CKIP-1 on the activity and apoptosis of NAFLD hepatocytes. The levels of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot. CKIP-1 knockout mice in C57BL/6 back-ground were fed with either standard or high-fat diet for 8 weeks. Apoptosis-related signal proteins in NAFLD hepatocytes were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results:After CKIP-1 was transfected into HepG 2 cells, the degree of OA induced cell liposis was significantly reduced ( P<0.05). Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry showed that CKIP-1 reduced the apoptosis of steatotic hepatocytes. Overexpression of CKIP-1 could significantly inhibit the expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 and increase the expression of Bcl-2/Bax ( P<0.05). Knockdown of CKIP-1 could increase the expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 ( P<0.05). CKIP-1 knockout could further increase the expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 in NAFLD mice ( P<0.01, P<0.05), and further decrease the expression of Bcl-2/Bax ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CKIP-1 inhibited the apoptosis of steatotic hepatocytes by up-regulating the expression of apoptosis inhibitor gene, Bcl-2/Bax, and affecting the proteases, caspase-3 and caspase-9.
