[Clinical application of parathyroid autofluorescence imaging in endoscopic thyroid surgery].

Objective:To investigate the application value of near-infrared autofluorescence imaging in identifying and protecting parathyroid glands in endoscopic thyroid surgery. Methods:From May 2022 to February 2023, 158 patients who underwent endoscopic thyroid surgery in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Vascular Surgery of Guilin People's Hospital were selected. The endoscopic fluorescence camera system was used to monitor the parathyroid glands under autofluorescence during endoscopic thyroid surgery. A total of 214 pieces were collected, among which the first 15 cases that could not be preserved in situ during the operation needed to be autotransplanted or the tissue clamped parts that could not be clearly identified as parathyroid glands were sent to fast-frozen pathology to determine whether they were parathyroid glands. Results:Among the first 15 patients who could not be preserved in situ during the operation or whose anatomy could not be clearly defined, 23 parathyroid glands were detected by autofluorescence imaging, 21 parathyroid glands were confirmed by pathology, and 2 were adipose tissue, with an accuracy rate of 91.30%; 158 patients underwent surgery Blood calcium decreased 2 hours after operation compared with preoperative blood calcium（P<0.05）, decreased blood calcium 5 days after operation compared with preoperative blood calcium（P<0.01）, and increased slightly 5 days after the operation compared to blood calcium 2 hours after the operation, but the difference was not statistically significant（P>0.05）; while comparing parathyroid hormone（PTH）, PTH at 2 hours after operation decreased significantly compared with PTH before operation（P<0.01）, and PTH at 5 days after operation compared with PTH before operation PTH also decreased（P<0.01）, but increased compared with PTH 2 hours after operation（P=0.001）. Conclusion:In laparoscopic thyroid surgery, the application of near-infrared autofluorescence imaging technology can help surgeons quickly identify and protect parathyroid glands, and reduce the incidence of permanent hypoparathyroidism. Combining autofluorescence imaging, visual anatomy recognition under magnification of laparoscope, and intraoperative frozen pathological examination "trinity" method can improve the success rate of parathyroid gland recognition.

Evaluation of intervention effects of dietary coenzyme Q10 supplementation on oxidized fish oil-induced stress response in largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides.

The aim of this experiment was to investigate whether dietary coenzyme Q10 could alleviate stress response of Micropterus salmoides caused by oxidized fish oil. Four isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated to contain 100% fresh fish oil (FFO), 50% fresh fish oil + 50% oxidized fish oil (BFO), 100% oxidized fish oil (OFO) and 100% oxidized fish oil + 0.1% coenzyme Q10 (QFO) and were fed to Micropterus salmoides (95 ± 0.60 g) for 70 days. Higher weight gain rate was recorded in fish fed diet supplemented with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). FFO and BFO significantly increased contents of fat and energy in whole-body, while protein and energy retention significantly decreased in fish fed OFO. Apparent digestibility of energy and fat showed a significant decrease trend with increased the proportion of dietary oxidized fish oil. Fish fed OFO significantly increased activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase, while CoQ10 supplementation significantly reduced activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in plasma. Contents of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and highly unsaturated fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA in liver and muscle significantly decreased in fish fed OFO. Transcriptome analysis indicated that a total of 1238, 1189 and 1773 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, |log2(fold change) | >= 1 and q-value<=0.001) were found in the three comparison groups (FFO vs. OFO, FFO vs. QFO, OFO vs. QFO), respectively. After KEGG enrichment, the main changed pathways in the two comparison groups (FFO vs. OFO, OFO vs. QFO) related to the immune system. Dietary OFO up-regulated the expression of immune-related genes and inflammatory factors, while dietary CoQ10 supplementation reduced these effects.

Detection of moisture content in salted sea cucumbers by hyperspectral and low field nuclear magnetic resonance based on deep learning network framework.

The accurate control of moisture content (MC) during the processing of sea cucumber is beneficial to improve the taste of sea cucumber and maintain its nutritional value, which is directly related to the quality and shelf life of sea cucumber. The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility using deep learning (DL) to realize rapid nondestructive detection of MC in salted sea cucumbers based on hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) data. Firstly, three Cuckoo Search (CS) dimensionality reduction algorithms (Traditional-CS, Binary-CS and Chaotic-CS) were combined with DL framework respectively using HSI and LF-NMR data to establish prediction models, which proved the feasibility of DL framework in predicting the MC of sea cucumbers, and Chaotic-CS algorithm was selected as the optimal dimensionality reduction algorithm. Then, the MC visualization based on HSI and LF-NMR data was realized respectively to detect the migration and decrease of MC. Finally, using both HSI and LF-NMR data, the advantages of the models based on Fusion-net DL (FDL) framework were discussed, which showed better performance than the single-data models, with RC2 of 0.9929, RMSEC of 0.0016, RP2 of 0.9936 and RPD of 12.5041. In summary, the rapid nondestructive detection of MC in salted sea cucumbers could be realized by HSI and LF-NMR data based on DL framework, and the advantage of data fusion detection based on FDL framework was verified.

Alleviation of atrazine toxicity to maize seedlings grown in soils with amendment of biochar derived from wheat under different temperatures.

The effects of different biotransformation temperatures (250, 550, and 850 °C) and different dose (0-1%) of biochar on the physiological characteristics of maize seedlings under the stress of atrazine were studied. The results show that atrazine significantly inhibits the growth of maize seedlings, while biochar can alleviate the toxicity of atrazine to seedlings. Compared with the low temperature of biochar, the addition of BC850, the germination rate of maize was significantly increased. The biochars prepared at higher temperatures and adding 1% dose could significantly increase the plant height, while the effect of biochar on root growth of maize seedlings was not significant. According to the data, with the increase of biochar application, the accumulation of atrazine in maize leaves and roots gradually decreased. At the maximum application rate of 1%, the content of atrazine in maize leaves decreased by 58.94%, 60.70%, and 62.75%. The content of atrazine in maize roots decreased by 52.93%, 54.57%, and 55.42%, respectively. Meanwhile, the addition of biochar could slightly increase the chlorophyll content, but the change was not significant statistically, while the content of chlorophyll b increases with the application amount. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in roots and leaves decreased first and the increased with the dose of biochar from 0 to 1%. Compared with the atrazine treatment, the content of MDA in leaves and roots decreased significantly, and the lipid peroxidation of maize significantly decreased. With the addition of three kinds of biochar, the soluble content of plant tissues increased gradually, BC550 biochar has the most noticeable remediation effect. Given the toxicity of atrazine in soil, the quality and yield of agricultural products, and the potential health risks to human beings, biochar can be the soil remediation product.
