Abstract
The most common complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy include pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, delayed gastric emptying, bleeding, and abdominal infection. Although advances in surgery have led to a significant decrease in perioperative mortality in recent years, the risk of complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy remains. Thus, prevention and treatment of various complications are important to improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To figure out the efficacy, effects, safety and patient's subjective perceptions of phacoemulsification with the active-fluidics system (AFS). PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, double-masked, controlled clinical study. Age-related cataract patients were recruited and randomly assigned to the AFS group and gravity-fluidics system (GFS) group in a ratio of 1:1 to have phacoemulsification. Participants were followed up at one day, one week, one month and three months postoperatively (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2100044409). RESULTS The overall included participants were 107 finally. The total aspiration time of the AFS group was significantly less than that of the GFS group (p = .020), while no significant difference existed in cumulative dissipated energy and estimated fluid usage between the two groups. The best corrected visual acuity was significantly better in the AFS group at one day and one week postoperatively (p = .002, p = .038 respectively). The recovery of central corneal thickening and macular superficial vasculature increase was earlier in the AFS group. The central retinal thickness was significantly higher in the GFS group at one month and three months postoperatively (p = .029, p = .016 respectively). The incidence of corneal adverse events was higher in GFS group (p = .035). No serious adverse events occurred in either group. Pain scores and the scores of Cat-PROM5 questionnaire of the AFS group were significantly lower than that of the GFS group (p = .011, p = .002 respectively). CONCLUSION AFS improves the efficiency, effects, safety and patients' subjective perceptions of phacoemulsification compared with GFS. It is worthwhile to promote its application in cataract surgery.KEY MESSAGESThe active-fluidics system automatically detects and maintains stable intraocular pressure at the set value.The active-fluidics system improves the efficiency, effects, safety and patients' subjective perceptions in phacoemulsification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects and safety of Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside (TWP) in the treatment of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A computer-assisted study search of Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP), PubMed, Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane Library was performed, with the time range of retrieval set between the establishment of the database to December 31, 2019. Articles of randomized controlled trials on the treatment of IgA nephropathy by Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside were collected, and then screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Next, the quality of the papers was assessed, effective data were extracted, and a meta-analysis of the included studies was conducted using the Review Manager 5.3 software provided by the Cochrane Collaboration. RESULTS Thirty randomized controlled trials (RCT) were included ultimately, and the meta-analysis showed that 1) Single (Sgl) TWP group was superior to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotension receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB) group in terms of complete remission [odds ratio (OR) = 4.74, p-value < 0.00001], total remission (OR = 3.90, p-value < 0.0001), 24-hour proteinuria [mean difference (MD) = 1.18, p-value < 0.00001], and serum albumin (MD = - 8.23, p-value < 0.00001), and no significant difference in serum creatinine (MD = 2.09, p-value = 0.08) was found between Sgl TWP and control groups; TWP + ACEI/ARB group was superior in complete remission (OR = 2.57, p-value < 0.00001), total remission (OR = 4.36, p-value < 0.00001), serum albumin [standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.68, p-value = 0.0005], 24-hour proteinuria (SMD = 1.24, p-value < 0.00001) and serum creatinine (SMD = 0.48, p-value = 0.006); 2) TWP group was superior to glucocorticoid group in complete remission (OR = 1.93, p-value < 0.0010), total remission (OR = 3.71, p-value < 0.00001), serum albumin (MD = -3.50, p-value = 0.002), 24-hour proteinuria (SMD = 0.93, p-value < 0.0001) and serum creatinine (SMD = 0.88, p-value = 0.006); 3) TWP group was better than mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) group in complete remission (OR = 2.05, p = 0.005), total remission (OR = 3.30, p-value = 0.002), 24-hour proteinuria (MD = 2.61, p-value < 0.0001), and serum albumin (MD = -6.43, p-value < 0.00001), but the differences in serum creatinine (MD = 1.28, p-value = 0.89) between TWP and control groups were not significant. Besides, TWP + ACEI/ARB group had a higher adverse reaction rate than the control group (OR = 2.21, p-value = 0.04), but there was no significant difference in the adverse reaction rate between other control and experimental groups (p-value > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The present evidence shows that Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside can effectively improve the remission rate, reduce proteinuria, and protect kidney function of IgA nephropathy patients, and also has good safety. However, limited by the quality of the included studies, the effects and safety of Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside in the treatment of IgA nephropathy need to be verified by more high-quality, large-scale, multi-center RCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, more and more people suffer from depression and anxiety. These symptoms are hard to be spotted and can be very dangerous. Currently, the Self-Reported Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Reported Depression Scale (SDS) are commonly used for initial screening for depression and anxiety disorders. However, the information contained in these two scales is limited, while the symptoms of subjects are various and complex, which results in the inconsistency between the questionnaire evaluation results and the clinician's diagnosis results. To fully mine the scale data, we propose a method to extract the features from the facial expression and movements, which are generated from the video recorded simultaneously when subjects fill in the scale. Then we collect the facial expression, movements and scale information to establish a multimodal framework for improving the accuracy and robustness of the diagnosis of depression and anxiety. METHODS We collect the scale results of the subjects and the videos when filling in the scales. Given the two scales, SAS and SDS, we construct a model with two branches, where each branch processes the multimodal data of SAS and SDS, respectively. In the branch, we first build a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extracts the facial expression features in each frame of images. Secondly, we establish a long short-term memory (LSTM) network to further embedding the facial expression feature and build the connections between various frames, so that the movement feature in the video can be generated. Thirdly, we transform the scale scores into one-hot format, and feed them into the corresponding branch of the network to further mining the information of the multimodal data. Finally, we fuse the embeddings of these two branches to generate inference results of depression and anxiety. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Based on the score results of SAS and SDS, our multimodal model further mines the video information, and can reach the accuracy of 0.946 in diagnosing depression and anxiety. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using our CNN-LSTM-based multimodal model for initial screening and diagnosis of depression and anxiety disorders with high diagnostic performance.

Abstract
Soil salinization, a common land degradation mode, restricts the ecological environment and is a global issue due to climate change. Accurately, quickly and effectively monitoring soil salinity is critical for governmental institutions that develop hazard prevention and mitigation strategies. Remote sensing (RS) technology provides a viable alternative to traditional field work due to its large area coverage, abundant spectral information and nearly constant observations. Key issues in RS-based soil salinity monitoring include the lack of both data-mining techniques for obtaining spectral band information and comprehensive considerations of synergies among different spectra. The main objective of this study was to provide in-depth explorations of data mining and integration algorithms from different satellites to multidimensionally evaluate soil salinity models. The Ebinur Lake Wetland Reserve (Xinjiang Province, China) was selected as a case study. First, ground-measured visible and near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectral data were combined with the RS band to simulate Landsat 8 (L8) and Sentinel 2 (S2) and 3 (S3) data. Second, one-dimensional RS bands and 15 soil salinity and vegetation indices were selected, and 15 spectral data transformations (reciprocal, differential, absorbance, etc.) were obtained. Two- and three-dimensional spectral indices were constructed, and the response relationships between different spectral indices and soil electrical conductivity (EC) were comprehensively explored. Finally, an integrated multidimensional algorithm was used to estimate soil salinity in high-performance models for the three satellites. The results showed that all data-mining-based model combinations performed well for all satellites (R2 > 0.80). However, with multidimensional model combinations, S3 presented the highest predictive capability (R2 = 0.89, RMSE = 2.57 mS·cm-1, RPD = 2.05), followed by S2 (R2 = 0.86, RMSE = 2.71 mS·cm-1, RPD = 1.90) and L8 (R2 = 0.85, RMSE = 2.84 mS·cm-1, RPD = 1.87). Therefore, data mining with integration algorithms in model combinations performs significantly better than previous models and could be considered a promising method for obtaining improved results from soil salinity susceptibility models in similar cases.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the reported characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in children aged 0-14 years in four provinces (municipalities), Beijing, Hubei, Chongqing and Sichuan, in China, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of pulmonary TB in children. Methods: The incidence data of childhood pulmonary TB were collected from notifiable disease and tuberculosis management information system of Chinese information system for disease control and prevention,and descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the medical care seeking flow, characteristics and management inclusion of pulmonary TB cases in children. Statistical analysis and data visualization were conducted with softwares Excel 2015, R 4.1.2 and Echart 4.7.0. Results: A total of 6 811 pulmonary TB cases in children were reported in the four provinces during 2019-2021, in which 4 741 (69.6%) were clinically diagnosed and 2 070 (30.4%) were laboratory confirmed. A total of 526 medical institutions reported TB cases in children, including 356 general hospitals (67.7%, 356/526) reporting 4 706 cases, 11 infectious disease hospitals (2.1%, 11/526) reporting 836 cases and 5 children's hospitals (1.0%, 5/526) reporting 542 cases. A total of 6 249 (91.7%) local cases and 562 (8.3%) non-local cases were reported. The reported local incidence rates of TB from 2019-2021 were 6.20/100 000, 7.10/100 000 and 7.20/100 000, respectively, showing an increase trend year by year. The sex ratio of the cases were 0.98∶1(3 373∶3 438). The cases were mainly distributed in age group 10-14 years (4 887 cases, 71.8%). The cases were mainly students (5 167 cases, 75.9%). The management inclusion rates of the local cases and non-local cases were 20.60% and 2.67%, respectively. Conclusions: The main medical institutions reporting pulmonary TB cases in children were children's hospitals, infectious disease hospitals and TB special hospitals, the incidence of pulmonary TB in children in Sichuan was higher. In 2020, the inter-provincial medical seeking behavior of the pulmonary TB cases decreased significantly. The incidence rate in boys was lower than that in girls, and children aged 10-14 years were the population with high incidence of pulmonary TB. The management inclusion rate in non-local cases was lower than that in local cases.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
The US Multi-Society Task Force on colorectal cancer updated recommendations in 2020 for follow-up after colonoscopy. This emphasized differential surveillance intervals based on the number of polyps removed. We determined how often we accurately counted the number of polyps and what submission practices allowed accurate quantification.
Methods/Case Report
We reviewed consecutive colorectal polyp cases from 10/1 to 12/31, 2019, excluding inflammatory polyps in inflammatory bowel disease. Pathology reports were reviewed to determine if the polyp number could be determined from history, gross description, and histologic findings. When numbers did not match or were unclear, endoscopy reports and glass slides were reviewed.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
601 cases with 1294 specimens were identified. We accurately determined polyp number in 1235 (95.4%) specimens. 1072 (82.8%) specimens were submitted as single polyp per container (SP), while 222 (17.2%) were submitted with > 1 polyp per container (MP). Polyp number was not quantifiable in 58 (26.1%) MP due to 11 labeled as “multiple polyps” in requisition/endoscopy reports and 47 submitted with polyp number different from number of tissue portions seen grossly and microscopically. In 1 (0.1%) SP, polyp number was unclear because separate portions of tissue contained two different diagnoses. Rate of accurate polyp count is significantly different between SP and MP (p<0.01) by Fisher exact test.
Conclusion
We accurately determined number of polyps in most specimens (95.4%) because our gastroenterologists usually submit SP. In MP, polyp count in 26.1% of specimens was unquantifiable. This could lead to uncertainty in surveillance follow-up intervals. Therefore, we recommend submitting one polyp per container.

Abstract
A new neutral particle analyzer (NPA) diagnostic based on single crystal chemical vapor deposition (sCVD) diamond detector that provides measurements of fast ions has been designed and installed on HL-2A tokamak. Diamond detectors have been applied in some magnetic confinement fusion devices due to their outstanding properties of compact size and radiation hardness. This DNPA can measure energies above 13.4 keV. The line of sight (LOS) of the DNPA intersects with the NBI No. 2 with a tangency radius of 154.8 cm. Due to the pitch angle defined by the LOS and geometry of the diagnostic, the DNPA is mainly sensitive to trapped ions. To interpret the energy spectrum and verify the feasibility of the design of the DNPA, a Monte Carlo code called FIDASIM, which is a synthetic diagnostic code that simulates fast ion D-alpha and NPA signals, is applied to model the neutral flux reaching the detector. The results show that the flux is mainly contributed by the low energy fast ions (E < 10 keV) and it is mainly coming from the active components, the passive signal is dominant in the high energy region (E > 15 keV). The modeling features the ability to distinguish between active and passive signals, and the simulated strong passive signals are suggested to come from charge exchange between cold neutrals and fast ions around the plasma edge. In addition, despite the large ratio of halo neutrals, essentially it has a limited contribution to the energy spectrum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the correlation of CCBE1 expression in adjacent tissues of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) with pericancerous lymphatic vessel proliferation, cervical lymph node metastasis and survival outcomes of the patients. METHODS Lymphatic vessel density was quantified in pericancerous tissue sections of 44 cases of cT1-2N0 TSCC using D2-40 as the lymphatic vessel endothelial marker for calibration and counting of the lymphatic vessels. Of these 44 cases, 22 showed a relatively low lymphatic vessel density (group A) and the other 22 had a high lymphatic vessel density (group B), and the expression levels of CCBE1 in the adjacent tissues determined using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting were compared between the two groups. The expression level of CCBE1 was also measured in another 90 patients with TSCC using immunohistochemistry, and all the patients were followed up for their survival outcomes. RESULTS Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting showed a significantly lower rate of high CCBE1 expression in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). Immunofluorescence assay showed co-localization of CCBE1 and D2-40 in the adjacent tissues of TSCC. In the 90 TSCC patients with complete follow-up data, a high expression of CCBE1 was found to correlate with lymph node metastasis and a poor 5-year survival outcomes of the patients (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION A high expression of CCBE1 in the adjacent tissues of TSCC is closely related with pericancerous lymphatic vessel proliferation, cervical lymph node metastasis and a poor 5-year survival of the patients, suggesting the value of CCBE1 as a potential prognostic predictor for TSCC.

Abstract
Disc displacement without reduction is a common disorder of the temporomandibular joint, causing clinical symptoms and sometimes condylar degeneration. In some cases, bone regeneration is detected following disc-repositioning procedures. Until now, however, systems-wide knowledge of the protein levels for condylar outcome with disc position is still lacking. Here, we performed comprehensive expression profiling of synovial fluid from 109 patients with disc displacement without reduction using high-resolution data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry and characterized differences in 1,714 proteins. Based on magnetic resonance imaging, samples were divided into groups with versus without condylar absorption and subgroups with versus without new bone. For the proteomic analysis, 32 proteins in groups presented with statistical significance (>2-fold, P < 0.05). Pathways such as response to inorganic substances, blood coagulation, and estrogen signaling were significantly expressed in the group with bone absorption as compared with pathways such as regulation of body fluid levels, vesicle-mediated transport, and focal adhesion, which were enriched in the group without bone absorption. In subgroup analysis, 45 proteins of significant importance (>2-fold, P < 0.05) were associated with pathways including would healing, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, and amino acid metabolism. Combined with clinical examination, molecules such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta (ACACB) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) were related to features such as visual analog scale and maximum interincisal opening (P < 0.05). In addition, 7 proteins were examined by Western blotting, including progesterone immunomodulatory binding factor 1 (PIBF1), histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG), and protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons 2 (PACSIN2). In conclusion, this study provides the first proteome analysis of condylar absorption at disc displacement without reduction and postoperative new bone formation after disc reposition. Integrated with clinical data, this analysis provides an important insight into the proteomics of condylar modification at disc position.

Abstract
Objective: To study the clinicopathological features of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) in the digestive tract and to discuss its differential diagnosis. Methods: The clinical data of 3 cases of CAEBV in the digestive tract diagnosed in Jiangsu Province Hospital (the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University), Nanjing, China from December 2018 to August 2020 were collected. Three cases of CAEBV were evaluated using histology, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. The related literature was reviewed. Results: Three patients were all males, aged 33, 32 and 31 years, respectively. All patients had a history of intermittent fever and repeated diarrhea for the past years with persistent increase in EB viral load (DNA copies) in peripheral blood. Endoscopically, intestinal tract was involved in all cases with ulcers, and esophagus was involved concurrently in 1 case showing nodular lesions. Microscopically, there were moderate polymorphic inflammatory infiltrate with lymphoid component displaying no or mild atypia in all cases and deep fissuring ulcers in one case (case 3). All tumor cells were positive for CD3 and TIA-1, and negative for CD56 and CD5. Cases 1 and 2 showed CD4-/CD8-, whereas case 3 displayed CD4+/CD8-. In situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA was positive in all 3 cases. Follow-up data showed that cases 1 and 2 were free of disease progression at the end of follow-up (16 months and 17 months, respectively). However, case 3 progressed to extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma 22 months after the initial diagnosis. Conclusions: CAEBV of the digestive tract is a rare lymphoid proliferative disorder with potential transformation to extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. It is a great mimicker of inflammatory bowel disease, especially in small biopsy specimens. It is important to integrate clinicopathological, radiological and laboratory data to avoid misdiagnosis.

Abstract
The peel and fruit of Citrus varieties have been a raw material for some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Pure total flavonoids from Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr. (PTFC), including naringin, hesperidin, narirutin, and neohesperidin, have been attracted increasing attention for their multiple clinical efficacies. Based on existing in vitro and in vivo research, this study systematically reviewed the biological functions of PTFC and its components in preventing or treating liver metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, intestinal barrier dysfunction, as well as malignancies. PTFC and its components are capable of regulating glycolipid metabolism, blocking peroxidation and persistent inflammation, inhibiting tumor progression, protecting the integrity of intestinal barrier and positively regulating intestinal microbiota, while the differences in fruit cultivation system, picking standard, manufacturing methods, delivery system and individual intestinal microecology will have impact on the specific therapeutic effect. Thus, PTFC is a promising drug for the treatment of some chronic diseases, as well as continuous elaborate investigations are necessary to improve its effectiveness and bioavailability.
