    Abstract Hepatic pulmonary fusion (HPF) is a very rare congenital disease which is characterized by a fibrous connection between the liver and lung tissues. It is commonly associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), pulmonary sequestration, congenital heart disease and other diseases. Surgical operation has been reported to be the only option for the treatment of this disease. The most sophisticated point lies in how to define the dividing line between liver and lung fusion tissues. And the postoperative mortality is high. At present, the etiology and pathogenesis of HPF are not completely clear. In this study, we reported a case of a 4-month-old male infant presented with cough and shortness of breath and intraoperatively found to have HPF associated with atrial septal defect and scimitar syndrome. Staged surgery was performed to avoid the simultaneous involvement of multiple organs such as heart, lung and liver, and shorten the operation and anesthesia time to a certain extent, improving the success rate of the operation. We only separated the fusion tissues and repaired the diaphragmatic hernia in the first operation, and in the second surgery, we conducted intra-cardiac repair of cardiac malformations. The follow-up results showed that the right lung gradually developed and there were no significant abnormalities in liver. This experience can provide a useful reference for future cases.

    Abstract Deep hypothermia with low flow perfusion (DHLF) is a common cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technique. The associated lung ischemia/reperfusion injury is a major cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing DHLP; we aimed to investigate the effects of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) with continuous perfusion of pulmonary arteries (CPP) on DHLF-induced lung injury and the related molecular mechanisms. Twenty-four piglets were randomly divided into the DHLF (control), CPP (with DHLF), or CPP+PDTC (intravenous PDTC before CPP with DHLF) groups. Lung injury was evaluated by respiratory function measurement, lung immunohistochemistry, and serum levels of TNF, IL-8, IL-6, and NF-κB before CPB, at CPB completion, and at 1 h post-CPB. Western blot was used to detect NF-κB protein expression in lung tissues. After CPB, decreased parcial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and increased parcial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and serum levels of TNF, IL-8, IL-6, and NF-κB were observed in the DHLF group. Both CPP and CPP+PDTC groups showed better indices of lung function, decreased levels of TNF, IL-8, and IL-6, and less severe pulmonary edemas and injuries. PDTC with CPP further improved pulmonary function and mitigated pulmonary injury than did CPP alone. PDTC with CPP better attenuates DHLF-induced lung injury than does CPP alone.

    Abstract BackgroundMental illnesses represent a significant global health challenge, affecting millions with far-reaching social and economic impacts. Traditional exercise prescriptions for mental health often adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, which overlooks individual variations in mental and physical health. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) offer an opportunity to tailor these interventions more effectively.ObjectiveThis study aims to develop and evaluate a multimodal data-driven AI system for personalized exercise prescriptions, targeting individuals with mental illnesses. By leveraging AI, the study seeks to overcome the limitations of conventional exercise regimens and improve adherence and mental health outcomes.MethodsThe study is conducted in two phases. Initially, 1,000 participants will be recruited for AI model training and testing, with 800 forming the training set, augmented by 9,200 simulated samples generated by ChatGPT, and 200 as the testing set. Data annotation will be performed by experienced physicians from the Department of Mental Health at Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital. Subsequently, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 40 participants will be conducted to compare the AI-driven exercise prescriptions against standard care. Assessments will be scheduled at 6, 12, and 18 months to evaluate cognitive, physical, and psychological outcomes.Expected outcomesThe AI-driven system is expected to demonstrate greater effectiveness in improving mental health outcomes compared to standard exercise prescriptions. Personalized exercise regimens, informed by comprehensive data analysis, are anticipated to enhance participant adherence and overall mental well-being. These outcomes could signify a paradigm shift in exercise prescription for mental health, paving the way for more personalized and effective treatment modalities.Registration and ethical approvalThis is approved by Human Experimental Ethics Inspection of Guangzhou Sport University, and the registration is under ...

    Abstract Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterised by dilatation and impaired contraction of the left ventricle or both ventricles, which is the most common childhood cardiomyopathy. In recent years, it has been recognised that many sorts of genetic mutations may contribute to dilated cardiomyopathy. We now report a rare association of dilated cardiomyopathy with site mutation of BMPR2 gene. We did not find such an association reported in the medical literature.

    Abstract Background: Regular chlamydia and gonorrhea testing are essential for key populations, such as female sex workers (FSWs). However, testing cost, stigma, and lack of access prevent FSWs in low- and middle-income countries from receiving chlamydia and gonorrhea testing. A social innovation to address these problems is "pay it forward," where an individual receives a gift (free testing) and then asks whether they would like to give a gift to another person in the community.
    Objective: This cluster randomized controlled trial examined the effectiveness and cost of the pay-it-forward strategy in increasing access to chlamydia and gonorrhea testing among FSWs in China.
    Methods: This trial integrated a pay-it-forward approach into a community-based HIV outreach service. FSWs (aged 18 years or older) were invited by an outreach team from 4 Chinese cities (clusters) to receive free HIV testing. The 4 clusters were randomized into 2 study arms in a 1:1 ratio: a pay-it-forward arm (offered chlamydia and gonorrhea testing as a gift) and a standard-of-care arm (out-of-pocket cost for testing: US $11). The primary outcome was chlamydia and gonorrhea test uptake, as ascertained by administrative records. We conducted an economic evaluation using a microcosting approach from a health provider perspective, reporting our results in US dollars (at 2021 exchange rates).
    Results: Overall, 480 FSWs were recruited from 4 cities (120 per city). Most FSWs were aged ≥30 years (313/480, 65.2%), were married (283/480, 59%), had an annual income <US $9000 (301/480, 62.7%), and had never been tested for chlamydia (401/480, 83.5%) or gonorrhea (397/480, 82.7%). Chlamydia and gonorrhea test uptake in the pay-it-forward and standard-of-care arms were 82% (197/240) and 4% (10/240), respectively, with an adjusted proportion difference of 76.7% (lower bound 95% CI 70.8%). All those who tested positive were referred to and received treatment at local sexually transmitted infection clinics. This finding was consistent when adjusting for marital status, income, inconsistent condom use during commercial sex in the last 3 months, and HIV testing history. Among 197 women who received tests in the pay-it-forward arm, 99 (50.3%) donated money, with a median donation of US $1.54 (IQR 0.77-1.54). The economic cost per person tested was US $568.71 for standard of care and US $43.20 for pay it forward.<br />Conclusions: The pay-it-forward strategy has the potential to enhance chlamydia and gonorrhea testing for Chinese FSWs and may be useful for scaling up preventive services. Further implementation research is needed to inform the transition of pay-it-forward research into practice.
