A novel technology is proposed for non-contact and real-time detection of atrial fibrillation using millimeter-wave radar.A 60 GHz PCR millimeter wave radar is used to continuously detect the chest echo signal of the subject.After signal acquisition,I-Q signal is generated through I-Q demodulation,and the signal phase information is extracted using effective points phase trend evaluation for obtaining the signals from oscillations in the chest wall,from which the respiratory signals and cardiac signals are extracted through digital filtering for the analysis of cardiac movement.Whether the atrial fibrillation occurs or not is determined by the characteristics of atrial fibrillation wave in the time domain.The effective points phase trend evaluation for extracting more accurate signal phase information and the time-domain method for real-time atrial fibrillation detection are the innovations of the study.The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a detection accuracy of 99.2%in clinic.

Objective:To investigate the endorectal ultrasound findings in rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (R-NEN) and to compare the diagnostic performance of ERUS and MRI for T staging of R-NENs.Methods:The imaging features of 77 confirmed R-NEN cases with different pathological grades in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from August 2015 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed and the abilities of ERUS and MRI for T staging of R-NENs were compared.Results:A total of 77 R-NEN patients underwent preoperative ERUS examinations and detected lesions in 62 patients with a detection rate of 80.52%. Among them, 30 cases underwent simultaneous MRI examinations, and detected lesions in 25 cases with a detection rate of 83.33%, without statistical difference between MRI and ERUS ( P>0.05). R-NEN exhibited hypoechoic nodules with rich blood flow in the submucosa on ERUS. Grade G1 and G2 tumors generally had sizes less than 10 mm, clear boundaries, and regular shapes, while G3 was typically large, irregular, poorly defined, and more likely to invade the musculi propria and serous layer. G3 demonstrated a more profound infiltration level, a less defined border, and a larger diameter than G1 and G2, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). For T staging, the accuracy of ERUS was 86.67%, and that of MRI was 94.67%, with no statistical difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:ERUS is effective for detecting R-NEN lesions and useful for tumor grading with comparable performance to MRI, and should be recommended for preoperative evaluation of neuroendocrine tumors.

Objective:To analyze the concentration of formic acid,propionic acid and butyric acid in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF)of patients with stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ periodontitis,and their relationship with periodontitis.Methods:The study enrolled 37 systemically healthy patients with periodontitis and 19 healthy controls who visited Department of Periodontology,Peking University School and Hospital of Sto-matology from February 2008 to May 2011.Their GCFs were collected from the mesial-buccal site of one molar or incisor in each quadrant.Periodontal clinical parameters,including plaque index(PLI),probing depth(PD),bleeding index(BI),and attachment loss(AL).Concentrations of formic acid,propionic acid and butyric acid in the supernatant of the GCFs were analyzed by high-performance capil-lary electrophoresis(HPCE).The prediction ability of formic acid,propionic acid and butyric acid with the risk of periodontitis and the differences between grade B and grade C periodontitis were analyzed.Results:In this study,32 patients with stage Ⅲ and 5 patients with stage Ⅳ were enrolled,including 9 patients with grade B and 28 patients with grade C.Clinical periodontal variables in the patients with pe-riodontitis were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.001).Formic acid was signifi-cantly lower in periodontitis than that in the control group[5.37(3.39,8.49)mmol/L vs.12.29(8.35,16.57)mmol/L,P＜0.001].Propionic acid and butyric acid in periodontitis were significantly higher than those in the control group:Propionic acid,10.23(4.28,14.90)mmol/L vs.2.71(0.00,4.25)mmol/L,P＜0.001;butyric acid,2.63(0.47,3.81)mmol/L vs.0.00(0.00,0.24)mmol/L,P＜0.001.There was no significant difference in formic acid,propionic acid and butyric acid concentrations between grade B and grade C periodontitis(P＞0.05).Propionic acid and butyric acid in the deep pocket were significantly higher than in the shallow pocket,while the concentration of formic acid decreased with the increase of PD.Propionic acid(OR=1.51,95％CI:1.29-1.75)and butyric acid(OR=3.72,95％CI:1.93-7.17)were risk factors for periodontitis,while formic acid(OR=0.87,95％CI:0.81-0.93)might be a protective factor for periodontitis.Propionic acid(AUC=0.852,95％CI:0.805-0.900),butyric acid(AUC=0.889,95％CI:0.841-0.937),f(formic acid,AUC=0.844,95％CI:0.793-0.895)demonstrated a good predictive capacity for the risk of periodontitis.Conclusion:The concentration of formic acid decrease in the GCF of periodontitis patients,which is a protective factor for periodontitis,its reciprocal have good predictive capacity.However,propionic acid and butyric acid increase,which are risk factors for periodontitis and have good predictive capacity.The concentration of formic acid,propionic acid,and butyric acid vary with probing depth,but there is no significant difference between grade B and grade C periodontitis.

Objective To investigate the expression level of basic leucine zipper and W2 domain-containing protein 1(BZW1)in gastric cancer,its impact on patient prognosis and the underlying mechanisms.Methods TIMER,UALCAN and Kaplan-Meier Plotter databases were used for analyzing BZW1 expression level gastric cancer tissues and its correlation with tumor grade and stage and the patients'prognosis.We further analyzed BZW1 expressions,disease progression,and postoperative 5-year survival in 102 patients undergoing radical surgery for gastric cancer at our hospital between January,2014 and December,2016.Gastric cancer MGC803 cells were examined for changes in migration,invasion,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)following lentivirus-mediated BZW1 overexpression or knockdown.Results The protein and mRNA expressions of BZW1 in gastric cancer tissues were 3.30 and 6.54 times of those in adjacent tissues,respectively(P<0.01).BZW1 expression in gastric cancer tissues were positively correlated with peripheral blood CEA and CA199 levels(P<0.01).A high BZW1 expression was an independent risk factor for 5-year survival of gastric cancer patients after radical surgery(P<0.05,HR=2.070,95%CI:1.021-4.196).At the cut-off value of 3.61,BZW1 expression had a sensitivity of 75.56%and a specificity of 71.93%for predicting postoperative 5-year mortality(P<0.01).In MGC803 cells,BZW1 overexpression obviously promoted cell migration and invasion(P<0.05),enhanced cellular expressions of N-cadherin and vimentin(P<0.05)and inhibited the expression of E-cadherin(P<0.05).Enrichment analysis suggested the involvement of BZW1 in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Western blotting confirmed that BZW1 overexpression promoted while BZW1 knockdown inhibited the expressions of Wnt3a,β-catenin and C-myc in MGC803 cells(P<0.05).Conclusion BZW1 is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues to affect the patient prognosis possibly by activation the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to promote EMT of gastric cancer cells.

【Objective】 To investigate the association between genetic variations in the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) gene and BP responses to sodium and potassium intake. 【Methods】 A total of 514 subjects from 124 families were recruited in Meixian County, Shaanxi Province, in 2004, resulting in the establishment of a "salt-sensitive hypertension study cohort" . The subjects followed a dietary regimen which involved a normal diet for 3 days, a low-salt diet for 7 days, a high-salt diet for 7 days, and a high-salt potassium-supplemented diet for 7 days. BP measurement was conducted at different intervention periods, and peripheral blood samples were collected. Additionally, eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the GLP-1R gene were genotyped using the MassARRAY detection platform. 【Results】 The GLP-1R gene SNP rs9462472 exhibited a significant association with systolic BP, diastolic BP, and mean arterial pressure response to high-salt intervention. Similarly, SNP rs2268637 showed a significant association with systolic BP response to high-salt intervention. Furthermore, SNP rs2268637 was significantly associated with systolic BP and mean arterial pressure responses to high-salt plus potassium supplementation intervention. 【Conclusion】 Our findings indicate a significant association of genetic variations in the GLP-1R gene with BP responses to sodium and potassium intake. This suggests that the GLP-1R gene plays a role in the regulation of BP salt sensitivity and potassium sensitivity.

Objective: To construct a nonsuicidal selfinjury (NSSI) risk prediction model for middle school students using different machine learning algorithms and evaluate the models effectiveness, so as to provide guidance for the prevention and control of NSSI in campus. Methods: In March 2023, a total of 3 372 middle and high school students from schools in Nanchang, Fuzhou and Shangrao cities in Jiangxi Province were selected by combining stratified random cluster sampling and convenient sampling methods. Questionnaire surveys were conducted using various instruments including general information questionnaire, Selfesteem Scale, Ottawa Selfinjury Scale, Social Support Assessment Scale, Chinese Version of the Olweus Bullying Questionnaire, Event Attribution Style Scale, Adolescent Resilience Scale, and Adolescent Life Events Scale. Data were divided into training set (n=2 361) and test set (n=1 011) at a ratio of 7∶3, and variables were selected based on univariate and LASSO regression results. Four machine learning algorithms including namely random forest, support vector machine, Logistic regression and XGBoost, were used to construct NSSI risk prediction models, and the models performance was evaluated and compared using metrics including area under curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and F1 score. Results: The detection rate of NSSI among middle school students was 34.4%. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in NSSI detection rates among middle school students of different grades, genders, registered residence locations, whether they were class cadres and four types of bullying (physical, verbal, relational bullying and cyberbullying) (χ2=27.17, 15.81, 11.54, 4.63；68.22, 140.63, 77.81, 13.95, P<0.05). NSSI was included as the dependent variable in the LASSO regression model for variable screening, and the results regression identified 10 predictive variables including grade level, selfesteem, subjective support, support utilization, verbal bullying, emotional control, interpersonal relationships, punishment, loss of relatives and property, and health and adaptation issues. The AUC values of random forest, support vector machine, Logistic regression, and XGBoost algorithms were 0.76, 0.76, 0.76 and 0.77, respectively, with no statistically significant differences between pairwise comparisons (Z=-0.59-0.82, P>0.05). Sensitivity values were 0.62, 0.61, 0.62 and 0.61, respectively. Specificity values were 0.74, 0.78, 0.78 and 0.78, respectively. Positive predictive values were 0.56, 0.59, 0.60 and 0.59, respectively. Negative predictive values were 0.79, 0.79, 0.80 and 0.79, respectively. F1 scores were 0.59, 0.60, 0.61 and 0.60, respectively. Conclusions All four nonsuicidal selfinjury risk prediction models perform well, with the Logistic regression model slightly outperforming the others. Schools and parents should pay attention to the predictive factors corresponding to NSSI, so as to reduce the occurrence of NSSI among middle school students.

Objective To explore the predictive value and efficacy evaluation of plasma microRNA(miR)-132,miR-134 combined with miR-124 in patients with depression.Methods A total of 75 patients diagnosed with depression in the psychiatric department of the hospital from June 2021 to July 2023 were selected as the study group,and 75 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same pe-riod were selected as the control group.The relative expression levels of miR-132,miR-134 and miR-124 in plasma of the two groups were detected.The levels of miR-132,miR-124,miR-134,brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF).inflammatory factors[interleukin(IL)-6,IL-18,tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a)]were com-pared between the two groups before and after 8 weeks of treatment.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to construct a joint prediction model.The application value of plasma miR-132,miR-134,miR-124 and combined prediction in the diagnosis of depression was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The relative expression levels of miR-132 and miR-124 in plasma of the study group were sig-nificantly higher than those of the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The relative expres-sion level of miR-134 in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of plas-ma miR-132,miR-134,miR-124 and combined prediction of depression were 0.858 8,0.851 9,0.763 1 and 0.971 4,respectively.Compared with 8 weeks before treatment,plasma miR-132,miR-124,IL-6,IL-18 and TNF-a levels were significantly down-regulated,while plasma miR-134 and BDNF levels were significantly up-regulated after 8 weeks of treatment.Conclusion miR-132,miR-134 and miR-124 are closely related to the oc-currence of depression,and the combination of the three can be used to predict and early diagnose depression patients and evaluate the drug efficacy of depression patients.
