    Abstract Patients who receive heart valve surgery need anticoagulation prophylaxis to reduce the risk of thrombosis. Warfarin often is a choice but its dosage varies due to gene and clinical factors. We aim to study, among them, if there is an interaction between acute kidney injury and two gene polymorphisms from this study. We extracted data of heart valve surgery recipients from the electronic health record (EHR) system of a medical center. The primary outcome is about the average daily dose of warfarin, measured as an additive interaction effect (INTadd) between acute kidney injury (AKI) and warfarin-related gene polymorphisms. The confounders, including age, sex, body surface area (BSA), comorbidities (i.e., atrial fibrillation [AF], hypertension [HTN], congestive heart failure [CHF]), serum albumin level, warfarin-relevant gene polymorphism (i.e., CYP2C9, VKORC1), prosthetic valve type (i.e., metal, bio), and warfarin history were controlled via a multivariate-linear regression model. The study included 200 patients, among whom 108 (54.00%) are female. Further, the mean age is 54.45 years, 31 (15.50%) have CHF, and 40 (20.00%) patients were prescribed concomitant amiodarone, which potentially overlays with the warfarin prophylaxis period. During the follow-up, AKI occurred in 30 (15.00%) patients. VKORC1 mutation (1639G>A) occurred in 25 (12.50%) patients and CYPC29 *2 or *3 mutations presented in 20 patients (10.00%). We found a significant additive interaction effect between AKI and VKORC1 (- 1.17, 95% CI - 1.82 to - 0.53, p = 0.0004). This result suggests it is probable that there is an interaction between acute kidney injury and the VKORC1 polymorphism for the warfarin dose during the initial period of anticoagulation prophylaxis.

    Abstract Precise segmentation of lung field is a crucial step in chest radiographic computer-aided diagnosis system. With the development of deep learning, fully convolutional network based models for lung field segmentation have achieved great effect but are poor at accurate identification of the boundary and preserving lung field consistency. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a lung segmentation algorithm based on non-local attention and multi-task learning. Firstly, an encoder-decoder convolutional network based on residual connection was used to extract multi-scale context and predict the boundary of lung. Secondly, a non-local attention mechanism to capture the long-range dependencies between pixels in the boundary regions and global context was proposed to enrich feature of inconsistent region. Thirdly, a multi-task learning to predict lung field based on the enriched feature was conducted. Finally, experiments to evaluate this algorithm were performed on JSRT and Montgomery dataset. The maximum improvement of Dice coefficient and accuracy were 1.99% and 2.27%, respectively, comparing with other representative algorithms. Results show that by enhancing the attention of boundary, this algorithm can improve the accuracy and reduce false segmentation.

    Abstract Background: Endoscopic decompression of the spinal canal is an emerging procedure for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis, but there are few reports of comparative studies of endoscopic techniques for transforaminal and non-transforaminal approaches.
    Objective: To compare the clinical application of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) and full endoscopic lamina fenestration decompression (Endo-LOVE) for treating degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis with unilateral radicular pain.
    Methods: A total of 58 patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) with unilateral radicular pain in the lower extremities who underwent endoscopic decompression treatment from June 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively identified and divided into two groups (PTED vs Endo-LOVE). The two groups' perioperative data were analyzed according to surgical modalities. The Visual Analogue Score (VAS) for pain, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), modified MacNab criteria, and dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCSA) were used to assess the post-operative outcomes of the two groups.
    Results: All 58 patients completed the operation and received more than 12 months of follow-up. There was no significant difference in the operation time, number of intraoperative fluoroscopies, intraoperative bleeding, or postoperative hospitalization time between the two groups (p > 0.05); VAS scores and ODIs of the two groups at all postoperative time points were significantly lower than before the operation (p < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the comparison of the clinical efficacy between the two groups (p > 0.05); the DSCSA of the two groups at the last postoperative follow-up was significantly larger than before the operation (p < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the improvement of DSCSA between them (p > 0.05).
    Conclusions: Both procedures are safe and effective in the treatment of DLSS with unilateral lower extremity radicular pain, and we should be specific about the choice of spinal stenosis treatment.

    Abstract This study evaluated the effects of betaine supplementation in sows and/or their offspring's diets on the redox status, immune and inflammatory levels, colonic barrier function, and colonic microbial community of offspring piglets. Thirty-six Bama mini-sows on day 3 of gestation and their weaned offspring piglets (28 d of age) were randomly allocated to the following treatments: (1) sows and their weaned offspring fed the basal diet (control group, Con group); (2) sows fed the basal diet with 3.50 kg/t betaine, and their weaned offspring fed the basal diet (sows betaine group, SB group); (3) sows fed the basal diet with 3.50 kg/t betaine, and their weaned offspring fed the basal diet with 2.50 kg/t betaine (sow-offspring betaine group, S-OB group). Six offspring piglets from each group were selected to collect plasma and colon samples on d 30, 60, and 90 after weaning. Compared with the Con group, the plasma levels of IgA, IgM, GSH-Px, and SOD during d 30-90 after weaning, IFN-α, T-AOC, and GSH on d 30 and 60 after weaning were increased, while MDA during d 30-90 after weaning was decreased in the SB and S-OB groups (
