Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate state between normal aging and dementia, and its symptoms include easy forgetting, distraction, and mental deterioration. This directly affects the patient's motor function, daily living ability, and social adaptability, and brings many difficulties to the patient's reintegration into society. Therefore, clinical research on MCI is very necessary. The purpose of this paper is to study the efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of MCI based on VR virtual reality technology. This paper firstly expounds the application prospect of VR virtual reality rehabilitation training and virtual scene intervention in MCI patients. It then introduces the characteristics of acupuncture and the acupuncture points of scalp acupuncture and eye acupuncture. This paper then establishes the algorithm model of the VR virtual reality rehabilitation training system, which lays a solid foundation for the design of the subsequent rehabilitation training system. This paper then conducts clinical experiments and analysis on the treatment of mild cognitive impairment, which establishes a treatment group and a control group for comparative experiments. The experimental results showed that the combined effect size OR = 2.74 of the meta-analysis, the combined effect size test statistic Z = 3.38, WMD = 2.42, and the 95 % CI was (1.98, 3.06). It indicated that the treatment group had better efficacy. The MMSE score and MoCA score of the treatment group after treatment and training increased by 28.68 % and 15.36 %, respectively, and the scores were higher than those of the control group. Therefore, the use of VR virtual reality technology combined with acupuncture is of great significance for the rehabilitation and treatment of patients with mild cognitive impairment.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly increases the risk of CVD diseases, particularly among elderly patients. Understanding the interaction between several biomarkers and cardiovascular (CVD) risks is crucial for improving patient outcomes and tailoring personalized treatment strategies. There is much more to learn about the intricate relationship between biomarkers and CVD risks in elderly CKD patients. Research aims to harness natural language processing (NLP) strategies to investigate the interaction between biomarkers and CVD risks in elderly patients with CKD. This research examined how changes in baseline values of four novel and classic cardiac biomarkers relate to the danger of CVD, and all-cause death in a large cohort of patients with CKD. Initially, medical data were collected from EHR of elderly CKD patients. NLP technique, such as Named Entity Recognition (NER), is used to extract the relevant biomarkers and CVD risk factors from the data. Statistical techniques were applied to examine the associations between biomarkers and CVD risks. The predictive models, using a combination of structured and NLP-extracted features demonstrated improved accuracy in forecasting CVD outcomes compared to traditional methods. This investigation highlights the critical role of specific biomarkers like PTH and FGF-23 in predicting CVD outcomes, providing insights into the possibility of using EHR data for better patient management and enhancing predictive models for this high-risk population.

慢性肾脏疾病（CKD）显著增加心血管疾病的风险，特别是在老年患者中。了解几种生物标志物与心血管（CVD）风险之间的相互作用对于改善患者预后和定制个性化治疗策略至关重要。关于老年CKD患者生物标志物与心血管疾病风险之间的复杂关系，还有很多需要了解的。研究旨在利用自然语言处理（NLP）策略来研究老年CKD患者生物标志物与CVD风险之间的相互作用。本研究调查了四种新型和经典心脏生物标志物基线值的变化与大量CKD患者CVD危险和全因死亡的关系。最初，从老年CKD患者的电子病历中收集医疗数据。NLP技术，如命名实体识别（NER），用于从数据中提取相关的生物标志物和心血管疾病的危险因素。应用统计技术检查生物标志物与心血管疾病风险之间的关系。与传统方法相比，使用结构化和nlp提取特征相结合的预测模型在预测CVD结果方面具有更高的准确性。这项研究强调了PTH和FGF-23等特定生物标志物在预测CVD结果中的关键作用，为使用EHR数据进行更好的患者管理和增强这一高危人群的预测模型提供了可能性。

Laboratory automation in the biopharmaceutical industry as a rule requires contracted service from highly professional automation solution provider, at times involving the purchase and development of specialized or customized hardware and software, which can be proprietary and expensive. Alternatively, with the availability of open-source software customized for automation, it is possible to automate existing laboratory instruments in a do-it-yourself (DIY), low-cost, and flexible fashion. In this work, we used an open-source scripting language, AutoIt, to integrate an existing microplate imager into an existing automation platform that is already equipped with a 4-axis robotic arm and an automated incubator, to achieve automation of the imaging procedure in our cell line development workflow. Furthermore, optimizations were performed using AutoIt to improve the overall automated imaging process, namely i) incorporating an automated scan profile selection step, ii) setting up automated handling of system errors, and iii) setting up remote handling of system errors. In summary, the use of AutoIt for DIY instrument integration proves to be cost-saving, versatile, and able to enhance the efficiency of automation workflows in the laboratory.

生物制药行业的实验室自动化通常需要高度专业的自动化解决方案提供商的合同服务，有时涉及购买和开发专门或定制的硬件和软件，这可能是专有的和昂贵的。另外，随着为自动化定制的开源软件的可用性，有可能以自己动手（DIY）、低成本和灵活的方式自动化现有的实验室仪器。在这项工作中，我们使用了一种开源脚本语言AutoIt，将现有的微孔板成像仪集成到现有的自动化平台中，该平台已经配备了一个4轴机械臂和一个自动培养箱，以实现我们细胞系开发工作流程中成像过程的自动化。此外，使用AutoIt进行了优化，以改进整个自动化成像过程，即i)纳入自动扫描配置文件选择步骤，ii)设置自动处理系统错误，以及iii)设置远程处理系统错误。综上所述，使用AutoIt进行DIY仪器集成证明是节省成本的，通用的，并且能够提高实验室自动化工作流程的效率。

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a technique commonly employed in laboratories and core facilities. In our previous study, we had shown the possibility to automate steps in a panel-specific gene expression workflow by pairing Mosquito HV with BioMark HD. Here we aimed to automate the full workflow and explore miniaturization capabilities. Each step of the gene expression workflow was scripted on Mosquito HV genomics software. We performed three different automated runs: i. Replicates of a Reference RNA sample (obtained by pooling RNA isolated from 10 healthy individuals) were run on an immunology gene expression panel. We tested the full reaction (FR) and three miniaturization conditions, namely: 1.5x, 2.5x and 5x; the data obtained from the automated FR replicates was compared to the data obtained from the manual processing; ii. Biological RNA samples (isolated from n = 45 individuals) were run as FR and 1.5x on the immunology gene expression panel; iii. Biological RNA samples (isolated from n = 45 individuals) were run as FR and 1.5x on a pregnancy gene expression panel. The expression of each gene was calculated using the 2^{(-delta Ct)} method.

Successful amplification was observed for the reference samples when using FR and 1.5x conditions. The 2.5x condition exhibited suboptimal amplification with a lower success rate while the 5x condition retrieved no amplification. The 2.5x and 5x miniaturization conditions were excluded from further runs. A strong significant positive correlation was observed between the manual and automated workflows for the reference RNA sample, underscoring the robustness of the gene expression assay. The automation of the immunology and pregnancy gene expression panels on the 45 individual samples retrieved a success rate >70 % for both the FR and the 1.5x miniaturization conditions. A significant positive correlation was also observed between the FR and 1.5x miniaturization conditions for both panels.

Our results show that the adoption and the 1.5x miniaturization capabilities of Mosquito HV system for automating the gene expression workflow did not interfere with data quality and reproducibility.

定量PCR （qPCR）是实验室和核心设施中常用的一种技术。在我们之前的研究中，我们已经展示了通过将蚊子HV与BioMark HD配对来自动化面板特异性基因表达工作流程步骤的可能性。在这里，我们的目标是自动化整个工作流并探索小型化功能。基因表达流程的每一步都在Mosquito HV基因组软件上编写脚本。我们进行了三种不同的自动化运行：i.在免疫学基因表达面板上运行参考RNA样本（通过汇集从10个健康个体分离的RNA获得）的复制。我们测试了全反应（FR）和3种小型化条件，即1.5倍、2.5倍和5倍；将自动FR重复获得的数据与手工处理获得的数据进行比较；2。生物RNA样本（从n=45个个体中分离）在免疫学基因表达面板上作为FR和1.5倍运行；3。生物RNA样本（从n=45个个体中分离）在妊娠基因表达面板上作为FR和1.5倍运行。采用2（- δ δ Ct）法计算各基因的表达量。在FR和1.5倍条件下，观察到参考样品扩增成功。2.5倍条件下扩增效果不佳，成功率较低，而5倍条件下没有扩增。2.5倍和5倍的小型化条件被排除在进一步的运行中。在参考RNA样本的手动和自动化工作流程之间观察到强烈的显著正相关，强调了基因表达测定的稳健性。在FR和1.5倍小型化条件下，45个个体样本的免疫学和妊娠基因表达面板的自动化成功率均为70%。在两个面板的FR和1.5倍小型化条件之间也观察到显著的正相关。我们的研究结果表明，采用蚊子HV系统自动化基因表达工作流程和1.5倍的小型化能力不会影响数据质量和可重复性。

Biological RNA samples (isolated from <em>n</em> = 45 individuals) were run as FR and 1.5x on the immunology gene expression panel; iii. Biological RNA samples (isolated from <em>n</em> = 45 individuals) were run as FR and 1.5x on a pregnancy gene expression panel. The expression of each gene was calculated using the 2<sup>(-delta Ct)</sup> method.</div><div>Successful amplification was observed for the reference samples when using FR and 1.5x conditions. The 2.5x condition exhibited suboptimal amplification with a lower success rate while the 5x condition retrieved no amplification. The 2.5x and 5x miniaturization conditions were excluded from further runs. A strong significant positive correlation was observed between the manual and automated workflows for the reference RNA sample, underscoring the robustness of the gene expression assay. The automation of the immunology and pregnancy gene expression panels on the 45 individual samples retrieved a success rate >70 % for both the FR and the 1.5x miniaturization conditions. A significant positive correlation was also observed between the FR and 1.5x miniaturization conditions for both panels.</div><div>Our results show that the adoption and the 1.5x miniaturization capabilities of Mosquito HV system for automating the gene expression workflow did not interfere with data quality and reproducibility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54248,"journal":{"name":"SLAS Technology","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 100241"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142899425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
