    Abstract We conducted a comprehensive review of existing prediction models pertaining to the efficacy of immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) and the occurrence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The predictive potential of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in determining ICI effectiveness has been extensively investigated, while limited research has been conducted on predicting irAEs. Furthermore, the combined model incorporating NLR and PLR, either with each other or in conjunction with additional markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen, exhibits superior predictive capabilities compared to individual markers alone. NLR and PLR are promising markers for clinical applications. Forthcoming models ought to incorporate established efficacious models and newly identified ones, thereby constituting a multifactor composite model. Furthermore, efforts should be made to explore effective clinical application approaches that enhance the predictive accuracy and efficiency.

    Abstract In conjunction with pandemics, medical image data are growing exponentially. In some countries, hospitals collect biometric data from patients, such as fingerprints, iris, or faces. This data can be used for things like identity verification and security management. However, this medical data can be easily compromised by hackers. In order to prevent illegal tampering with medical images and invasion of privacy, a new texture fusion medical image encryption (TFMIE) algorithm derived from biometric images is proposed, which can encrypt the image using biometric information for storage or transmission. First, the medical image is decomposed into n-bit-planes by bit-plane decomposition. Secondly, a fusion image is generated by a biometric image with a circular local binary pattern and pixel-weighted average method. The fused image is further decomposed into n bit-planes through bit-plane decomposition and performs XOR operation with the original medical image in reverse order. Following the execution of the XOR operation, a new scrambling and diffusion algorithm based on a one-dimensional fractional trigonometric function (1DFTF) chaotic map is employed to form the cipher image. The experimental results show that compared with the existing methods, the average information entropy value of TFMIE is 7.99, and the average values of NPCR and UACI reach 0.9958 and 0.3346, respectively, which have strong key sensitivity, good robustness, and anti-attack ability. The method is lossless and has high transmission efficiency, which can meet the needs of medical big data encryption.

    Abstract Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) is a chronic complication resulted from peripheral nerve injury in the late stage of diabetes. It involves a variety of pathological changes such as oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis of Schwann cells(SCs). DPN is the main factor leading to lower limb disability or amputation in diabetic patients, with high incidence, long disease course, and poor prognosis. The modern medicine treatment of DPN mainly focuses on controlling blood glucose and improving microcirculation and nerve nutrition, which can only mitigate the clinical symptoms and not fundamentally reverse the pathological changes of peripheral nerves. Autophagy is a self-clearing mechanism that maintains cellular homeostasis by removing excess metabolites. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), featuring the holistic concept and syndrome differentiation, can treat chronic diseases in a multi-target, multi-pathway, and wide-range manner. Modern studies have shown that the occurrence and development of DPN are related to a variety of pathological changes, and autophagy is a key mechanism associated with DPN. The environment with persistent high glucose can lead to the inhibition or over-activation of peripheral nerve cells, which causes irreversible damage of nerve cells and the occurrence and development of DPN. Therefore, restoring autophagy balance and reducing nerve damage is one of the key ways to treat DPN. The recent studies have confirmed that some active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicines and TCM compound prescriptions can inhibit the oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial damage, inflammation, and apoptosis of SCs in DPN by regulating the autophagy pathway, thus playing a role in the prevention and treatment of DPN. However, the systematic induction in this field remains to be carried out. This paper reviewed the relevant literature, explained the mechanism of TCM in the prevention and treatment of DPN by regulating autophagy, and summarized the potential targets of TCM in the treatment of DPN, with a view to providing new ideas for clinical research and drug development.

    Abstract Aiming at the problem of the weak avalanche effect in the recently proposed deep learning image encryption algorithm, this paper analyzes the causes of weak avalanche effect in the neural network of Cycle-GAN step by step-by-step process and proposes an image encryption algorithm combining the traditional diffusion algorithm and deep learning neural network. In this paper, first, the neural network is used for image scrambling and slight diffusion, and then the traditional diffusion algorithm is used to further diffuse the pixels. The experiment in satellite images shows that our algorithm, with the help of the further diffusion mechanism, can compensate for the weak avalanche effect of Cycle-GAN-based image encryption and can change a pixel value to the original image, and the number of pixel change rate (NPCR) and unified average changing intensity (UACI) values can achieve 99.64% and 33.49%, respectively. In addition, our method can effectively encrypt the image where the encrypted image with high information entropy and low pixel correlation is obtained. The experiment on data loss and noise attack declares our method can identify the types and intensity of attacks. What is more, the key space is big enough, and the key sensitivity is high while the key has a certain randomness.

    Abstract Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a systemic disease, affecting not only the brain, but also eyes and other organs. The total CSVD score is a tool for comprehensive evaluation of brain lesions in patients with CSVD. The ophthalmic artery (OA) is a direct response to ocular blood flow. However, little is known about the correlation between CSVD and characteristics of OA. We investigated the OA morphologies and hemodynamics in patients with CSVD and the correlation between these changes and the total CSVD score.
    Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 34 eyes from 22 patients with CSVD and 10 eyes from 5 healthy controls. The total CSVD score was rated according to the CSVD signs on magnetic resonance imaging. OA morphological characteristics were measured on the basis of 3D OA model reconstruction. OA hemodynamic information was calculated using computational fluid dynamics simulations.
    Results: The total CSVD score negatively correlated with the OA diameter, blood flow velocity, and mass flow ratio (all P < 0.05). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the total CSVD score was still independently correlated with the OA blood velocity (β = - 0.202, P = 0.005). The total CSVD score was not correlated with OA angle (P > 0.05). The presence of cerebral microbleeds and enlarged perivascular spaces was correlated with the OA diameter (both P < 0.01), while the lacunar infarcts and white matter hyperintensities were correlated with the OA blood velocity (both P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: The decrease of the blood velocity in the OA was associated with the increase in the total CSVD score. The changes of the OA diameter and velocity were associated with the presence of various CSVD signs. The findings suggest that more studies are needed in the future to evaluate CSVD by observing the morphologies and hemodynamics of OA.

    Abstract With the global outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) all over the world, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is widely used in COVID-19 and has become a hot topic. In recent 2 years, the application of AI technology in COVID-19 has developed rapidly, and more than 100 relevant papers are published every month. In this paper, we combined with the bibliometric and visual knowledge map analysis, used the WOS database as the sample data source, and applied VOSviewer and CiteSpace analysis tools to carry out multi-dimensional statistical analysis and visual analysis about 1903 pieces of literature of recent 2 years (by the end of July this year). The data is analyzed by several terms with the main annual article and citation count, major publication sources, institutions and countries, their contribution and collaboration, etc. Since last year, the research on the COVID-19 has sharply increased; especially the corresponding research fields combined with the AI technology are expanding, such as medicine, management, economics, and informatics. The China and USA are the most prolific countries in AI applied in COVID-19, which have made a significant contribution to AI applied in COVID-19, as the high-level international collaboration of countries and institutions is increasing and more impactful. Moreover, we widely studied the issues: detection, surveillance, risk prediction, therapeutic research, virus modeling, and analysis of COVID-19. Finally, we put forward perspective challenges and limits to the application of AI in the COVID-19 for researchers and practitioners to facilitate future research on AI applied in COVID-19.

    Abstract BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the use of the STRIVE Hi technique with 70 and 100% oxygen concentrations in children with 1st or 2nd degree laryngeal obstruction undergoing suspension laryngoscopic surgery.MethodsChildren aged 1 month to 6 years scheduled for suspension laryngoscopic surgery with spontaneous respiration were randomly divided into the 70% oxygen concentration group (HFNO70% group) and the 100% oxygen concentration group (HFNO100% group). The data recorded for all the patients included age and sex, comorbidities, preoperative physiological status, methods of induction and maintenance of anesthesia, course of the disease and surgical options, and duration of operation. The primary endpoint was the lowest oxygen saturations during the surgery. The secondary endpoints included the partial pressure of oxygen PaO2, the arterial pressure of carbon dioxide PaCO2, the peak transcutaneous carbon dioxide PtcCO2, and the incidence of desaturation (defined as SpO2 < 90%) or hypercarbia (PtcCO2 > 65 mmHg).ResultsA total of 80 children with 1st or 2nd degree laryngeal obstruction were included in the analysis. The median [IQR (range)] duration of spontaneous ventilation using STRIVE Hi was 52.5 [40–60 (30–170)]min and 62.5 [45–81 (20–200)]min in the HFNO 70% and HFNO 100% groups, respectively (p = 0.99); the lowest oxygen saturation recorded during the operation was 97.8 ± 2.1% and 96.8 ± 2.5%, respectively (p = 0.053); the mean PaO2 at the end of surgery was 184.6 ± 56.3 mmHg and 315.2 ± 101.3 mmHg, respectively (p < 0.001); and the peak transcutaneous CO2 was 58.0 ± 13.0 mmHg and 60.4 ± 10.9 mmHg, respectively (p = 0.373), despite a long operation time.ConclusionSTRIVE Hi had a positive effect on children undergoing tubeless laryngeal surgery with spontaneous ventilation, and for children with 1st or 2nd degree laryngeal obstruction, there was no significant difference in maintaining the intraoperative oxygenation between the 70 and 100% oxygen concentration groups. The 100% oxygen ...

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of multiple myeloma patients with myelofibrosis.
    Methods: The clinical data of 263 patients with multiple myeloma (including 92 patients with myelofibrosis) treated in the department of hematology of our hospital from January 1, 2016 to June 31, 2020 were collected and retrospectively analyzed, the patients were divided into combined group and uncombined group. The MM stage, MM type, genetic characteristics and therapeutic effect of the patients in combined group and uncombined group were observed, and the relationship between the curative effect and the degree of myelofibrosis change of the patients in combined group was analyzed.
    Results: There was no statistically difference in the MM staging and classification between multiple myeloma patients with or without myelofibrosis (P>0.05). The positive rate of FISH results of the patients in combined group was significantly higher than those in uncombined group, and was significantly correlated to 1q21 amplification, D13S319 deletion, and IgH breakage (P<0.05). After treatment, the effective rate of the patients in uncombined group was significantly higher than those in combined group, and the degree of fibrosis in the effective patients in combined group was significantly reduced.
    Conclusion: The survival rate of the patients with multiple myeloma complicated with myelofibrosis is shorter than that of the patients without myelofibrosis, and the overall prognosis is poor.
