    Abstract: Background: To explore the diagnostic value of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein-to-lymphocyte ratio (CLR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for predicting patients with bacteremia in the intensive care unit (ICU).! ...

    Abstract Background: To explore the diagnostic value of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein-to-lymphocyte ratio (CLR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for predicting patients with bacteremia in the intensive care unit (ICU).
    Methods: This case-control study included 359 patients with suspected bacteremia were divided into a bacteremia group (n = 152) and a control group (n = 207) from September 2018 to April 2023. Patient data were collected using a laboratory information system (LIS). ROC curves for PCT, CLR, CRP, and NLR in predicting patients with bacteremia.
    Results: For PCT, CLR, CRP and NLR to predict patients with bacteremia in the ICU, the AUCs were 0.991(95%CI: 0.974-0.998), 0.960(95%CI: 0.935-0.978), 0.955(95%CI: 0.928-0.974), and 0.898(95%CI:0.862-0.927), respectively; the optimal thresholds were 0.248 ng/mL, 47.52 mg/10
    Conclusions: Compared with those in the control group, PCT, CLR, CRP and NLR were significantly greater in the bacteremia group. The PCT, CLR, CRP, and NLR can all predict the occurrence of bacteremia. The PCT had the highest sensitivity and specificity in predicting bacteremia in ICU patients.

    Abstract Background: The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is widely used in contraception, menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea and to prevent endometrial hyperplasia during estrogen supplementation. Perforation is more often seen after early postpartum placement. Perforation of the LNG-IUS occurring one month after placement is rare.
    Case summary: A 42-year-old female complained of progressive dysmenorrhea and increased menstrual volume. She was diagnosed with adenomyosis and the LNG-IUS was inserted in her uterine cavity. Routine ultrasound examination one month later revealed that the intra-uterine device (IUD) was not found in the uterine cavity, and further X-ray and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed an abnormal signal area in the left posterior region of the uterus. Laparoscopic exploratory surgery was performed and the LNG-IUS was found in the left uterosacral ligament.
    Conclusion: Perforation of a LNG-IUS occurring one month after placement is rare, and is more common in inexperienced operators and after early postpartum placement. When the operation is difficult, ultrasound monitoring is recommended to reduce the risk of IUD perforation. For patients with inadequate surgery, postoperative imaging is recommended to detect potential risks as soon as possible.

    Abstract Many experiments have proved that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in humans have been implicated in disease development. The prediction of lncRNA-disease association is essential in promoting disease treatment and drug development. It is time-consuming and laborious to explore the relationship between lncRNA and diseases in the laboratory. The computation-based approach has clear advantages and has become a promising research direction. This paper proposes a new lncRNA disease association prediction algorithm BRWMC. Firstly, BRWMC constructed several lncRNA (disease) similarity networks based on different measurement angles and fused them into an integrated similarity network by similarity network fusion (SNF). In addition, the random walk method is used to preprocess the known lncRNA-disease association matrix and calculate the estimated scores of potential lncRNA-disease associations. Finally, the matrix completion method accurately predicts the potential lncRNA-disease associations. Under the framework of leave-one-out cross-validation and 5-fold cross-validation, the AUC values obtained by BRWMC are 0.9610 and 0.9739, respectively. In addition, case studies of three common diseases show that BRWMC is a reliable method for prediction.

    Abstract Basketball is a high-intensity sport, and sports injuries often occur. Therefore, how to monitor the sports status of basketball players in real time, discover and prevent the occurrence of sports injuries in time, has become an urgent problem for athletes and coaches. In this paper, a motion capture system based on CNN sensor is proposed. Through the application of sensor, real-time monitoring of athletes' motion state, the system can collect athletes' movement track, speed, acceleration, stride frequency, heart rate, energy consumption and other parameters in real time. By analyzing the movement data, it can timely warn and deal with the occurrence of sports injuries. In this paper, convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to process and analyze motion data, so that the motion capture system has higher precision and accuracy. Through the training and optimization of CNN, the system can identify and analyze motion data more accurately, and improve the performance and effect of the motion capture system. The motion capture system based on CNN sensor can realize real-time monitoring and prevention of sports injuries for basketball players, provide more comprehensive, scientific and real-time sports data for athletes and coaches, help them better conduct training and adjust tactics, and improve the competitive level and safety of basketball games.

    Abstract Anti-microbial peptides (AMPs) have gained significant attention as potential antimicrobial agents due to their cytocompatibility and reduced drug resistance. However, AMPs often suffer from low stability due to their vulnerable molecular structure. This study presents a one-pot synthesis method for ellagic acid (EA)-based, flower-like AMPs@EAMP particles, combining the antibacterial properties of EA with AMPs. The resulting particles exhibit an enlarged surface area for the adsorption or embedding of AMPs, enhancing their antibacterial efficacy. Furthermore,

    Abstract Magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) is a new method that provides sutureless passage construction for tubular organs. Due to the high recurrence rate of conventional endoscopic treatment and the high morbidity and mortality of surgical procedures, the MCA technique shows promise. The aim of this review is to comprehensively examine the literature related to the use of MCA in different gastrointestinal diseases over the past few years, categorizing them according to the anastomotic site and describing in detail the various methods of magnet delivery and the clinical outcomes of MCA. MCA is an innovative technique, and its use represents an advancement in the field of minimally invasive interventions. Comparison studies have shown that the anastomosis formed by MCA is comparable to or better than surgical sutures in terms of general appearance and histology. Although most of the current research has involved animal studies or studies with small populations, the safety and feasibility of MCA have been preliminarily demonstrated. Large prospective studies involving populations are still needed to guarantee the security of MCA. For technologies that have been initially used in clinical settings, effective measures should also be implemented to identify, even prevent, complications. Furthermore, specific commercial magnets must be created and optimized in this emerging area.

    Abstract (1) Background: Spermatozoa acquired motility and matured in epididymis after production in the testis. However, there is still limited understanding of the specific characteristics of sperm development across different species. In this study, we employed a comprehensive approach to analyze cell compositions in both testicular and epididymal tissues, providing valuable insights into the changes occurring during meiosis and spermiogenesis in mouse and pig models. Additionally, we identified distinct gene expression signatures associated with various spermatogenic cell types. (2) Methods: To investigate the differences in spermatogenesis between mice and pigs, we constructed a single-cell RNA dataset. (3) Results: Our findings revealed notable differences in testicular cell clusters between these two species. Furthermore, distinct gene expression patterns were observed among epithelial cells from different regions of the epididymis. Interestingly, regional gene expression patterns were also identified within principal cell clusters of the mouse epididymis. Moreover, through analysing differentially expressed genes related to the epididymis in both mouse and pig models, we successfully identified potential marker genes associated with sperm development and maturation for each species studied. (4) Conclusions: This research presented a comprehensive single-cell landscape analysis of both testicular and epididymal tissues, shedding light on the intricate processes involved in spermatogenesis and sperm maturation, specifically within mouse and pig models.
