Objective:To evaluate the prevalence and related risk factors of new onset diabetes after chronic pancreatitis by meta-analysis.Methods:Chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, post pancreatitis diabetes, type 2 diabetes, type 3c diabetes, endocrine dysfunction, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, post pancreatitis diabetes mellitus, endocrine efficiency, risk factors were used as keywords, and the network database such as the CNKI database, Wanfang, Weipu, Chinese Medical Journal Full Text, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and so on from the database establishment to January 2023 were searched. The prospective and retrospective cohort studies on new diabetes after chronic pancreatitis published were searched and retrieved, and the papers were screened and the quality were evaluated according to preset inclusion and exclusion criteria; and the important data were extracted. Review Manager 5.4 was used for meta-analysis.Results:22 papers were finally included, including 13 785 patients with chronic pancreatitis, of which 4 233 were patients with new onset diabetes. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of new diabetes after chronic pancreatitis was 29% ( RD=0.29, 95% CI 26%-32%, P<0.0001), which increased and tended to be stable along with the disease course. Alcohol drinking, smoking, alcoholic chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic calcification, biliary stricture, male, conservative treatment, pancreatic cyst and older onset age were considered as risk factors for new diabetes after chronic pancreatitis, and endoscopic treatment was considered as protective factors. Conclusions:The incidence of new diabetes after the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis is relatively high. Clinically, we can identify high-risk groups exposed to risk factors, and early intervention can reduce the incidence rate of new diabetes after chronic pancreatitis and improve the prognosis of patients.

RESUMEN
PiggyBac is a transposable DNA element originally discovered in the cabbage looper moth (Trichoplusia ni). The T. ni piggyBac transposon can introduce exogenous fragments into a genome, constructing a transgenic organism. Nevertheless, the comprehensive analysis of endogenous piggyBac-like elements (PLEs) is important before using piggyBac, because they may influence the genetic stability of transgenic lines. Herein, we conducted a genome-wide analysis of PLEs in the brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), and identified a total of 28 PLE sequences. All N. lugens piggyBac-like elements (NlPLEs) were present as multiple copies in the genome of BPH. Among the identified NlPLEs, NlPLE25 had the highest copy number and it was distributed on five chromosomes. The full length of NlPLE25 consisted of terminal inverted repeats and sub-terminal inverted repeats at both terminals, as well as a single open reading frame transposase encoding 546 amino acids. Furthermore, NlPLE25 transposase caused precise excision and transposition in cultured insect cells and also restored the original TTAA target sequence after excision. A cross-recognition between the NlPLE25 transposon and the piggyBac transposon was also revealed in this study. These findings provide useful information for the construction of transgenic insect lines.

RESUMEN
Artificial intelligence can potentially provide a substantial role in streamlining chest computed tomography (CT) diagnosis of COVID-19 patients. However, several critical hurdles have impeded the development of robust AI model, which include deficiency, isolation, and heterogeneity of CT data generated from diverse institutions. These bring about lack of generalization of AI model and therefore prevent it from applications in clinical practices. To overcome this, we proposed a federated learning-based Unified CT-COVID AI Diagnostic Initiative (UCADI, http://www.ai-ct-covid.team/), a decentralized architecture where the AI model is distributed to and executed at each host institution with the data sources or client ends for training and inferencing without sharing individual patient data. Specifically, we firstly developed an initial AI CT model based on data collected from three Tongji hospitals in Wuhan. After model evaluation, we found that the initial model can identify COVID from Tongji CT test data at near radiologist-level (97.5% sensitivity) but performed worse when it was tested on COVID cases from Wuhan Union Hospital (72% sensitivity), indicating a lack of model generalization. Next, we used the publicly available UCADI framework to build a federated model which integrated COVID CT cases from the Tongji hospitals and Wuhan Union hospital (WU) without transferring the WU data. The federated model not only performed similarly on Tongji test data but improved the detection sensitivity (98%) on WU test cases. The UCADI framework will allow participants worldwide to use and contribute to the model, to deliver a real-world, globally built and validated clinic CT-COVID AI tool. This effort directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals number 3, Good Health and Well-Being, and allows sharing and transferring of knowledge to fight this devastating disease around the world.

Objective:To explore the effects of early fortified amino acid nutrition on nutritional indicators, development and immune function of premature infants.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, 150 premature infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were selected. Using random number table method, the children were randomly divided into group A, group B and group C, with 50 cases in each group. Group A was given a total intravenous nutrition strategy within 24 h of birth, group B was given a total intravenous strategy within 48 h of birth, and group C was given a total intravenous strategy within 72 h of birth. The children in the three groups were observed in the hospital until discharged. The levels of liver function, nutritional indicators and immune function were detected in the three groups.Results:The levels of body mass increase rate, head circumference increase rate and body length increase rate in group A were higher than those in group B and group C [22.73 ± 2.02) g/(kg·d) vs. (19.90 ± 1.89) and (17.60 ± 2.01) g/(kg·d), (0.76 ± 0.17) cm/week vs. (0.69 ± 0.18) and (0.60 ± 0.15) cm/week,(1.21 ± 0.20) cm/week vs. (1.02 ± 0.24) and (0.89 ± 0.22) cm/week], and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase in three groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of total albumin and albumin in group A were higher than those in group B and group C [(49.92 ± 3.30) g/L vs. (45.03 ± 2.94) and (42.03 ± 3.00) g/L, (33.10 ± 2.02) g/L vs. (29.89 ± 1.95) and (25.59 ± 2.00) g/L], and there were significant differences( P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of CD 3+ and CD 4+ in group A were higher than those in group B and group C [(68.80 ± 4.01)% vs. (59.02 ± 3.20)% and (55.03 ± 3.10)%,(43.31 ± 2.09)% vs. (38.82 ± 2.06)% and (34.40 ± 2.11)%], the level of CD 8+ in group A was lower than that in group B and group C [(23.30 ± 2.80)% vs. (28.89 ± 2.91)% and (34.40 ± 2.05)%], and there were significant differences ( P<0.05).

RESUMEN
Objective To: explore the clinical value of one-stop procedure in DSA hybrid operating room for treatment of ruptured intracranial complex aneurysms combined with cerebral hematomas. Methods: Eleven patients within 72 h after onset of ruptured intracranial complex aneurysms combined with cerebral hematomas without cerebral hernia underwent one-stop procedure in DSA hybrid operating room. Intraoperative DSA was used to evaluate whether the aneurysm involved the parent artery. The aneurysms were treated with intracranial aneurysm isolation combined with extra-intracranial bypass under the guidance of DSA or temporary balloon occlusion assisted shape clipping. And the hematomas were removal appropriately. Intraoperative situation of hybrid surgery was monitored in real time. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. The patients were followed up after discharge. CTA examinations were performed 6 months after operation. Glasgow outcome score (GOS) was used to evaluate the efficacy when patients were discharged and the last follow-up. When the scores were equal or greater than 4, the discharge was considered as effective treatment. Results: Superficial tempora1 artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass were performed in 5 patients smoothly. Intraoperative DSA revealed that the bridge vessel was unobstructed, and the aneurysms were isolated in one stage. Six patients were treated with shape clipping. Mistakenly clipping of perforator vessels occurred in 3 patients, and incomplete clipping occurred in 1 patient. The clamping effect was satisfactory after adjusting the positions of aneurysm clips. There were 2 cases of focal infarction and 1 case of epilepsy after operation. The proportion of patients responded well to treatment was both 81.82% (9/11) when discharged and the last follow-up, respectively. No recurrence, stenosis of anastomotic nor parental artery was detected among 11 patients 6 month after operation. Conclusion: Patients with complex aneurysms associated with intracranial hematomas impossible treated with single surgical clipping or endovascular intervention can be cured with one-stop procedure in DSA hybrid operating room with relatively satisfied results.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the clinical significance of centralized surveillance of hydatidiform mole.Methods From Feb.2013 to Feb.2017 all patients with hydatidiform mole,who underwent suction curettage and were confirmed by histopathology in Dalian Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital,were registered centrally for serum hCG monitoring and treatment if necessary.Prophylactic chemotherapy was not administered regardless of risk factors for malignant transformation of hydatidiform mole.The risk factors included age of over 40 years,excessive uterine enlargement for presumed gestational age,a serum hCG level greater than 5 00 000 U/L,large theca lutein ovarian cysts (>6 cm),and a history of previous hydatidiform mole.The centralized surveillance of hydatidiform mole was based on the central pathology review,team cooperation and service improvement.Their treatments and outcomes were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 407 women of hydatidiform mole were registered with histopathology confirmation,including 70 high-risk hydatidiform moles.The follow-up rate was 97.5% (397/407).The incidence of post-mole neoplasia was 8.1% (32/397),which was diagnosed in 22.9% (16/70) of high-risk and in 4.9% (16/327) of low-risk hydatidiform moles,showed statistically significant difference between high-risk and low-risk groups (x2=25.108,P<0.01).Thirty-two patients with post-mole neoplasia were all at low risk of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) score (range,0-6) and received complete remission with chemotherapy alone in 31 of them except one treated by hysterectomy.The primary cure rate of single-agent chemotherapy was 60.0% (18/30).Patients with low-risk or high-risk post-mole neoplasia were both 16.There were no significant differences between the two groups in interval that was end of antecedent pregnancy to start of treatment,the serum level of hCG before treatment,clinical stage or risk factor score (all P>0.05).Conclusions The risk of malignant transformation is increased in high-risk hydatidiform mole,however,the high risk factor itself does not affect the prognosis in patients with timely diagnosis and treatment of post-mole neoplasia.Therefore,prophylactic chemotherapy is not recommended to high-risk hydatidiform mole patients.Centralized surveillance of hydatidiform mole is practical in a local hospital of China and could greatly improve the prognosis of post-mole neoplasia.
RESUMEN
Liver fibrosis is a common pathological response in chronic liver injury. In the pathological process of hepatic injury, signaling pathways associated with hepatic fibrosis, which mediates the repair, proliferation and fibrosis of the liver secrete different cytokines. In these pathways, transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) play key roles in the proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and promote epithelial mesenchymal transition. In addition, it is also involved in the process of proliferation and transformation of collagen and extracellular matrix molecules into myofibroblasts. TGFβ and STAT3 molecular-related signaling pathways mediate the loss of epithelial phenotype and gene expression in mature epithelial cells, transforming them into mesenchymal cells, and producing anti-apoptosis to hepatocytes and promoting the proliferation of HSCs. However, the mechanisms by which STAT3 and TGFβ molecules are involved in the development and progression of liver fibrosis are not sound distinct. In this review, we attempt to know the mechanisms and interactions of TGFβ and STAT3 molecules that mediate potential liver fibrosis, and promote their role in promoting HSCs production and epithelial mesenchymal transition.
RESUMEN
Fluorescence diffuse optical tomography (FDOT) is a new molecular imaging technology, which uses near-infrared light to excite the fluorophore in tissues. According to the measurements detected on the surface of imaged object, the fluorescent quantum yield as well as lifetime of the fluorescence can be reconstructed. However, the reconstruction of FDOT remains a challenging problem because the conventional forward solvers are time consuming. Thus, a forward model solver that would enable the fast imaging is necessary. This paper describes a new forward solver to simulate the propagation of photons in tissues based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). This is accomplished by propagation photons in tissues guided by the LBM. To evaluate the performance of the proposed LBM, based on the numerical simulation, we compared the light distribution generated by the LBM with the diffusion equation implemented by COMSOL in four different cases. The experimental results indicate that compared to diffusion equation, the LBM can reduce the computation time for the forward solver of FDOT while preserving the similar accuracy.

Objective To collect the demographic,lifestyle and clinical factors of patients with cerebrovascular disease,and analyze the vascular cognitive impairment(VCI) factors and set up high-risk factors model.methods 505 patients with cerebrovascular disease hospitalization in department of geriatrics and neurology in hospital from October 2014 to October 2016 were enrolled.According to the questionaire survey data of demographics,lifestyle and clinical factors,the patients were divided into training set (421 cases) and test set (84 cases),and training set were divided into the non-VCI set (225 cases) and VCI set (196 cases).Analyzed the influence factors of VCI in patients with cerebrovascular disease by decision tree algorithm,and compared it with the Logistic regression analysis and chi-square and established the decision tree model for risk factors of VCI.Result sAccording to the VCI decision tree model,cross validation model recognition accuracy was 73.63%,while test set prediction accuracy was 73.81%.Alcoholism,hobbies,education level,tea drinking,diabetes,hypertension,diet,age,sleep and physical exercise were classification of node variables,while drinking was the root.The probability of VCI had significant difference (P<0.05) in the crowds with different risk factors.According to Result s of Logistic regression analysis,education level,drinking,exercise and diabetes were independent risk factors for VCI,while the model prediction accuracy was 66.98%,and test set prediction accuracy was 53.57%.According to the ROC curve of the decision tree model and the Logistic regression model,the decision tree model AUC was 0.737 (95%CI 0.688 to 0.786),and the Logistic regression model AUC was 0.664 (95%CI 0.612 to 0.717).Conclusion It is suggested that the decision tree model might be superior to logistic regression model in the prediction accuracy for VCI of patients with cerebrovascular disease.The alcoholism,diabetes,high blood pressure,high fat diet and insomnia are risk factors of VCI,while hobbies,high level of education,physical exercise and drinking tea can be the protective factors of the VCI.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the applicable conditions for using urine uranium monitoring data to assess personal internal doses with a view to providing references for the occupational health management and the urine uranium monitoring in nuclear industry sector.Methods The urine uranium levels were calculated, through simulation calculation set at 1 mSv effective dose arising from either acute or chronic ingestion of uranium compounds.The results were compared with the monitoring values of workers without occupational exposure history.The feasibility of urine uranium monitoring for dose assessment of internal radiation exposure was discussed.Results For special monitoring of acute ingestion, liquid fluorimetry can meet monitoring requirements of Type F uranium compound, Type M low enriched uranium and Type S naturally occurring uranium.For routine monitoring, only Type F low enriched uranium and Type M naturally occurring uranium can be detected at shorter monitoring intervals, But it was not suitable for Type S uranium compounds.Conclusions Background levels and detection limits should be considered when urine uranium is measured for the purpose of assessment or control of exposure to uranium and the interpretation of the results.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the characteristics of intestinal flora in infants with different feeding patterns.Methods Sixty-two cases of health infants(30-120 d)were divided into 4 groups according to their feeding patterns:breast feeding,imported powder milk feeding,domestic powder milk feeding and mixed feeding.Samples of their fresh feces in each group were collected and divided into sections equally:the bifidobacteria were isolated in anaerobic box and the number was counted for one section;for the other section,total DNA of intestinal flora was extracted and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) fingerprints were amplified with the method of ERIC-PCR.After that,the specific bands observed in different groups were cloned and sequenced and alignmented.Results The colonies of bifidobacteria were more in breast feeding and mixed feeding groups[(9.10 ± 1.33) cfu/g;(8.62 ± 1.35) cfu/g]than those in domestic powder milk feeding and imported powder milk feeding groups[(7.62 ± 1.22) cfu/g;(7.32 ± 0.80) cfu/g,t =3.23,P < 0.05];while there was no significant difference between breast feeding and mixed feeding groups,and between 2 powder milk feeding groups.Two specific bands were found from the ERIC fingerprints (A:1 100 bp mainly in breast feeding,domestic powder milk feeding and mixed feeding groups;B:1 000 bp mainly in imported powder milk feeding group).Sequencing and analysis of Basic Local Alignment Search Tool showed that homologous bacteria of A and B fragments were bifidobacterium longum.The encoding protein of A fragments might be related to the enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism,and B fragments were related to the enzymes of protein metabolism.Conclusions The colonies of bifidobacteria in intestinal tract are more in breast feeding and mixed feeding infants than those in formula feeding groups.The distribution of intestinal flora in domestic powder milk feeding infants is more similar to that of the breast feeding infants.
