Objective:To explore the causal relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and sleep disorder using Mendelian randomization (MR); To explore the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorder with GERD by combining with the TCM theory that "gastric disharmony causing restless sleep".Methods:Genetic loci independent of each other and closely related to GERD were taken as instrumental variables by pooling data from a large-scale genome-wide association study. The causal relationship between GERD and sleep disorder was explored with Mendelian randomization methods, such as Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW), MR Egger, Weighted Median (WME), Simple Mode (SM), Weighted Mode (WM) and MR Multiple Effectiveness Residual Sum and Heteroscedasticity (MR-PRESSO) using OR as an evaluation index.Results:The results of the IVW method showed that GERD led to a 44.3% higher risk of developing sleep disorder ( P=4.96×10 -15, OR=1.443, 95% CI:1.317-1.582); horizontal pleiotropy was detected using the MR-Egger intercept, which was calculated to be P=0.646 ( P>0.05), proving that there was no horizontal pleiotropy in the results; Leave-one-out sensitivity test showed that the results were stable and there were no instrumental variables that strongly influenced the results. Conclusion:GRED is a risk factor for the development of sleep disorder, which is consistent with the TCM theory of "gastric disharmony causing restless sleep".

Deep vein thrombosis(DVT)is a common complication after surgery for lower limb fracture.It has the features of high morbidity,high disability rate and high mortality.At present,the measures for clinical prevention and treatment of post-operative DVT in lower limb fracture mainly include perioperative nursing,intervention with medical auxiliary instruments,western medicine prevention and treatment,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)intervention,and patients'self-cooperation.The patients'self-cooperation is the basis for the smooth implementation of other measures for prevention and treatment,and the patients'active cooperation is the premise of achieving the efficacy of prevention and treatment.Perioperative nursing is helpful for the patients to understand the risk factors of postoperative DVT and the possible risks after the occurrence of DVT,guides the patients to choose the food,assists the patients to do postoperative exercises,improves the level of patients'hemorheological indexes,and reduce the incidence of postoperative DVT.Medical devices are helpful for assisting patients to do postoperative rehabilitation exercises,improving the levels of hemodynamic indicators,promoting patients'rehabilitation and reducing the incidence of postoperative DVT.Western medicines such as low molecular weight heparin,Rivaroxaban,Enoxaparin and other anticoagulant drugs can reduce the aggregation of coagulation factors and blood viscosity,and reduce the incidence of postoperative DVT.TCM interventions mainly include oral administration of Chinese medicine and external treatment such as acupuncture,moxibustion and massage.Oral administration of Chinese medicine is helpful for improving blood flow status.Acupuncture,moxibustion and massage are beneficial to the activation of the function of zang-fu organs,and can stimulate the healthy qi to improve the qi-blood state of the whole body.Each method of prevention and treatment has its advantages and disadvantages.In clinical application,reasonable prevention and treatment methods should be selected according to the specific conditions and individual conditions of the patients.TCM intervention of DVT can be performed in patients with lower limb fracture before and after surgery,and has the advantages of low cost and definite efficacy,which is worthy of continuous research and inheritance and innovation.

Lipids,including fats(triglycerides)and lipoids(phospholipids and sterols),not only serve as an energy source for the body but also play a pivotal role throughout the reproductive process,particularly in the establishment and maintenance of early pregnancy.This encompasses the regulate of early embryonic development and uterine tolerance,and the facilitation of embryo implantation.Given the diversity of lipids,this review focuses on extensively studied lipid mediators such as polyunsaturated fatty acids,endocannabinoids,prostaglandins,lysophosphatidic acid,sphingolipids and steroid hormones.It systematically elaborates on the regulatory effects of fatty acid,phospholipid,and cholesterol metabolism on the formation of endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation,as well as the potential underlying mechanisms.The review aims to provide new insights and feasible intervention approaches for predicting and improving the outcomes of natural pregnancy and/or assisted reproductive technology.

Objective To construct an artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis model based on deep learning for dynamically recognizing gastric lesions and their locations under gastroscopy in real time,and to evaluate its ability to detect and recognize gastric lesions and their locations.Methods The gastroscopy videos of 104 patients in our hospital was retrospectively analyzed,and the video frames were manually annotated.The annotated picture frames of lesion category were divided into the training set and the validation set according to the ratio of 8∶2,and the annotated picture frames of location category were divided into the training set and the validation set according to the patient sources at the ratio of 8∶2.These sets were utilized for training and validating the respective models.YoloV4 model was used for the training of lesion recognition,and ResNet152 model was used for the training of location recognition.The accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and location recognition accuracy of the auxiliary diagnostic model were evaluated.Results A total of 68 351 image frames were annotated,with 54 872 frames used as the training set,including 41 692 frames for lesion categories and 13 180 frames for location categories.The validation set consisted of 13 479 frames,comprising 10 422 frames for lesion categories and 3 057 frames for location categories.The lesion recognition model achieved an overall accuracy of 98.8%,with a sensitivity of 96.6%,specificity of 99.3%,positive predictive value of 96.3%,and negative predictive value of 99.3% in validation set.Meanwhile,the location recognition model demonstrated an top-5 accuracy of 87.1% .Conclusion The artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis model based on deep learning for real-time dynamic recognition of gastric lesions and their locations under gastroscopy has good ability in lesion detection and location recognition,and has great clinical application prospects.

The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effect and potential mechanism of action of hemin on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control, bleomycin and bleomycin + hemin groups. Mice in the bleomycin and bleomycin + hemin groups were injected intratracheally with bleomycin to establish the pulmonary fibrosis model.The bleomycin + hemin group mice were injected intraperitoneally with hemin starting 7 days before modeling until the end of Day 21 after modeling. Pathological changes in lung tissue were assessed by HE and Masson staining. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) levels were determined in lung tissue. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expression of α-SMA and collagen I. The serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were measured via ELISA.Western blotting was used to determine the expression of TGF-β1, SIRT1, PGC-1α and HO-1 and the phosphorylation levels of p38, ERK1/2, JNK, AMPK and NF-κB p65 in lung tissue. Hemin significantly reduced lung indices, increased terminal body weight. It also significantly increased SOD and CAT activities; decreased MDA, IL-6 and TNF-α levels; reduced the levels of α-SMA and collagen I-positive cells; upregulated SIRT1, PGC-1α and HO-1 expression; promoted AMPK phosphorylation; and downregulated TGF-β1 expression and p38, ERK1/2, JNK and NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. Hemin might attenuate oxidative damage and inflammatory responses and reduces extracellular matrix deposition by regulating the expression and phosphorylation of proteins associated with the TGF-β1/MAPK and AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α/HO-1/ NF-κB pathways, thereby alleviating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
