Authors: Huang Rongzhao , Chen Ang , Bai Menglin , Bian Bawangdui
Published: November 2024

Speech emotion recognition is an important branch of natural language processing that aims to automatically recognize and classify emotional information in speech through computer technology. In the specific language environment of Tibetan, due to relatively limited research and some existing studies appearing cumbersome and complex in feature extraction steps, a new network model has been proposed. The model is based on a capsule network and achieves lightweight design. It only uses Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) as its input features, extracts the spatiotemporal information of MFCC through multiple convolutional layers, and sends it into the capsule network for deep analysis. The recognition rate of 81.52% was achieved on the self-built Tibetan language emotion corpus TBSEC001. Meanwhile, the method achieved an unweighted accuracy (UA) of 85.63% and 95.54% respectively on the EMO-DB and RAVDESS public corpora, demonstrating the method's effectiveness.

Authors: Guo Yi
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Globalization has prompted educators to focus on enhancing students' foreign language proficiency rather than merely improving language test scores. Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) is widely recognized as a active motivational factor that can significantly enhance language performance. After integrating Positive Psychology into Language Acquisition, researchers has shown an increasing interest in FLE. Recent studies underscore the role of FLE as a valuable element in the process and outcomes of foreign language learning. This article investigates the impact of FLE on different aspects of foreign language acquisition, the pathways through which FLE influences learning, and the outcomes of such effects. The research method adopted is literature analysis. The findings of this study reveal that FLE impacts the learning process by fostering direct affective motivation, enhancing self-confidence, promoting both cognitive and affective engagement, and facilitating dynamic interactions at both individual and group levels. Additionally, FLE influences learning outcomes by mitigating the interference of negative emotions, improving language proficiency, and establishing mediating variables that connect other psychological factors to foreign language performance. These insights highlight the importance of creating positive learning environments and experiences, which can significantly enhance students' FLE and engagement, thereby improving the effectiveness of foreign learning and overall language performance.

Current Challenges and Potential Strategies in CAR-T Cell Therapy
Authors: Li Wenhui
Published: November 2024

Abstract. CAR-T therapy, involves modifying the patient's immune T cells in a laboratory setting to recognize antigens on tumor cells. Significant progress has been made in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, thanks to advancements in cancer treatment, namely the discovery of immunotherapies. Nevertheless, the therapy encounters obstacles such as antigen evasion, effects that target both tumor and non-tumor cells, restricted penetration into tumors, a tumor microenvironment that suppresses immune response, and adverse effects such as CRS and neurotoxicity. This paper analyzes the complexities of CAR-T treatment, its fundamental principles, and potential uses for many forms of cancer, including solid tumors. The primary objective is to improve the effectiveness and safety of the therapy by the manipulation of CAR-T cells, alteration of CAR structures, and investigation of combined treatment approaches. Although CAR-T therapy shows promise in transforming cancer treatment, additional refinement is necessary to optimize its therapeutic efficacy and decrease undesirable side effects. This will facilitate the development of more efficient and individualized cancer treatments.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. The health of childbearing-age women has attracted much attention from society, among which Body Mass Index (BMI) is an important index to evaluate physical health. Meanwhile, age, race, education, parity the frequency of exercise, lifestyle, and diet structure may also have a potential impact on physical health, and there are few studies in this area. The primary objective of this research is to ascertain whether there is an association between BMI and the above factors in women of both races. A data set of women who are residents of Birmingham was collected through questionnaires and analyzed statistically. The results showed a significant linear relationship between BMI and some factors. The study also found that the AA race had more BMI, education, calories, and lower rates of smoking and sugar intake; Smokers are more likely to be educated, have lower BMIs, exercise more often, and have higher sugar and alcohol intake. For women with less education, they have more children with a higher prevalence of smoking. In terms of diet, they followed a high-calorie diet that contained more sugar but less protein. In summary, it is recommended to provide women with lower education levels and smokers with basic nutrition, exercise, and smoking hazards education to improve overall health. Women of childbearing age should pay attention to moderate exercise in daily life and reasonable allocation of intake ratio of key elements to maintain health, which has important implications for improving quality of life and preventing chronic diseases.

Feasibility assessment of using cRISPR-Cas9 to improve the infiltration of CAR-T cells in solid tumors
Authors: Xiong Kun
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy (CAR-T) has been developing for decades, CAR-T is playing an increasingly important role in tumor treatment. However, because fibroblasts (CAFs) in solid tumors secrete proteins and glycans to form ECM, CAR-T is faced with the challenge of improving tumor invasion. To this end, a new scheme was put forth to alter CAR T cells such that they release heparinase (HPSE) to break down heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), which is covered on the outermost layer of the cancerous cells by CAF and released. In order to solve the above problems, CRISPR-Cas9 was proposed to modify CAR T to enhance the secretion of HPSE. Although this method has the advantage of broad spectrum, it still has certain defects. The matrix characteristics of different solid tumors and the subpopulations and regulatory mechanisms of HPSE need to be further studied. The off-target effects of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology and the high cost and time-consuming problems of flow cytometry also limit its application. It is anticipated to enhance cell infiltration in solid tumors, boost CAR-T therapy's effectiveness in treating solid tumors, and advance the field of CAR-T therapy.

Introduction:

Core decompression is a minimally invasive procedure considered in the treatment of early-stage femoral head osteonecrosis. This procedure is theorized to relieve vascular pressure and promote angiogenesis. Although a less invasive procedure, there are considerations related to learning curve, technique variations, etc. that may affect postoperative complications and longer term adverse events.

Methods:

Adult patients who underwent core decompression with a diagnosis of femoral head osteonecrosis were identified in the 2010-Q3 2021 PearlDiver M157 database. Core decompression surgeon volumes over the entire study period were assessed and divided into ranges: low (<5 procedures), medium (5 ≤ x ≤ 19 cases), and high (>19 cases) volumes. A 1:1:1 match based on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index was completed. Rates of 90-day complications were compared with univariable and multivariable analyses. Survival to total hip arthroplasty (THA) and to subsequent hip fracture at both 2 and 5 years were compared by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.

Results:

The low-volume, medium-volume, and high-volume surgeon groups made up 87.5%, 11.9%, and 0.2% of core decompression volume, respectively. This was indicative of 6333 patients undergoing core decompression, and matching based on the surgeon-volume category led to 486 patients per group. No statistically significant differences were observed in shorter term complications and survival to THA or hip fracture at 2 or 5 years.

Conclusion:

Core decompression is a treatment option often considered for early-stage osteonecrosis. Critically, no differences were found in rates of any assessed complications between the surgeon-volume matched cohorts. These findings suggest that core decompression is a relatively safe procedure for surgeons of varying volume with this technique. Furthermore, this study suggests that higher volume surgeons are not conducting the procedure with expanded indications that might result in greater rates of conversion to THA.

Introduction:

This study aims to determine whether incorporating physical therapy into a nonsurgical approach can effectively manage the course of glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) and potentially prevent patients from requiring total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).

Methods:

This retrospective cohort consisted of patients diagnosed with glenohumeral OA between 2010 and 2021 using ICD-9, ICD-10, and current procedural terminology codes in the PearlDiver database. Two- and five-year TSA rates were compared between patients who had physical therapy within 1 year after glenohumeral OA diagnosis and patients who did not.

Results:

The study consisted of 2,710,463 patients with glenohumeral OA. After propensity score matching, among patients with corticosteroid injection, patients who received physical therapy had significantly higher 2- and 5-year TSA rates compared with those without physical therapy (2-year TSA: 0.60% vs. 0.35%, OR [95% CI]: 1.74 [1.50, 2.01] and 5-year TSA: 1.13% vs. 0.65%, OR [95% CI]: 1.74 [1.56, 1.93]). A similar association was also significant among patients without corticosteroid injection (0.35% vs. 0.16%, OR [95% CI]: 2.17 [2.03, 2.21] and 0.78% vs. 0.37%, OR [95% CI]: 2.11 [2.01, 2.21]).

Conclusion:

Individuals who had physical therapy as a part of their nonsurgical treatment did not have any decrease in the probability of requiring TSA.

Published: November 2024

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) presents significant challenges for patients, often leading to lower-limb amputations. Transtibial amputations in PVD patients are complicated by various factors, including compromised skin and neuropathy, hindering the use of standard socket prostheses. Osseointegration surgery has emerged as a promising alternative, improving prosthetic use and overall mobility for patients. This case report presents a 10-year follow-up of a 74-year-old male with a history of failed femoral-popliteal bypass and multiple vascular surgeries who underwent transtibial osseointegration surgery. Clinical and functional outcomes, as well as adverse events, were monitored and evaluated. At the 10-year follow-up, the patient demonstrated significant improvements in mobility, walking unaided with the osseointegrated prosthesis and reporting no pain. Functional assessments showed enhancements in walking ability and quality of life over the follow-up period. Radiographic assessments confirmed stable osseointegration without complications. Transtibial osseointegration in PVD patients can lead to long-term improvements in mobility and quality of life, with sustained benefits over a 10-year follow-up period. Despite some decline in functional outcomes over time, the procedure remains a viable option for enhancing mobility and overall well-being in select patients with PVD.
Disparities in 1-Year Follow-up Rates After Proximal Humerus Fractures Treated With Open Reduction and Internal Fixation

Published: November 2024

Background:

Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) impose a serious burden on patients and are commonly treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Several factors influence functional outcomes in treating PHFs. This study aims to evaluate how social determinants of health affect postoperative follow-up rates of patients treated with ORIF for PHF.

Methods:

A single-center retrospective review included 92 patients treated with ORIF for PHF. Loss to follow-up was defined as failing to return after the last advised follow-up. Patient zip codes were used to determine median household income as determined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Reserve and social disadvantage using the Social Deprivation Index (SDI).

Results:

A significant difference was observed in 12-month loss to follow-up rates between HUD and SDI subgroups. No difference was found in 6-month loss to follow-up rates or the reasons that patients were lost to follow-up among HUD, Federal Reserve, and SDI subgroups.

Conclusion:

Patients from areas of greater socioeconomic deprivation exhibited the highest 12-month loss to follow-up rates, emphasizing the importance of targeted interventions, such as in-house social workers and improved visit reminders, to address postoperative attrition and enhance patient care.
Nonunion of Vascularized Fibula With Shortening and Multiplanar Deformity in a 6 Years Old Managed Simultaneously With Hexapod Circular External Fixator
Authors: Galal Sherif
Published: November 2024

The hexapod circular external fixator is considered a major upgrade to the classic Ilizarov ring fixators, which made it easier to manage complex deformities. Surgeons now, using it, can manage deformities in all three planes simultaneously without the need for frame modifications. We present a case report that shows the versatile nature of the hexapod circular fixator in a 6-year-old female patient who presented with multiple problems seen in a single bone, namely, two types nonunion at two different sites of a vascularized fibula graft of the leg (hypertrophic nonunion at the proximal site and atrophic nonunion at the distal site) with varus, procurvatum, and internal rotation deformities as well as 3-cm shortening. She underwent vascularized fibular graft surgery to treat osteomyelitis of the tibia 2 years prior. A hexapod circular fixator was applied which would statically stabilize the lower nonunion site (augmented with bone marrow injection at that site) and corrected the deformities and shortening through distraction at the proximal hypertrophic nonunion site in one surgical procedure. The case demonstrates the versatility of the hexapod circular fixator in treating complex orthopaedic situations, maintaining a minimally invasive approach while allowing full weight-bearing.
Congenital Curly Toes in the Pediatric Population: A Management Algorithm and Systematic Review

Published: November 2024

Purpose:

This study aims to formulate a systematic management algorithm for pediatric congenital curly toes (CCTs), addressing the lack of standardized guidelines. By synthesizing the existing literature, the study evaluates CCT presentation, evaluation, treatment options, and outcomes.

Methods:

A systematic review on PubMed identified nine articles, involving 346 patients younger than 18 years with CCTs. Data extraction included presentation, evaluation, treatment modalities, and outcomes.

Results:

The analysis revealed that pediatric CCTs predominantly present in younger children. Clinical presentation often involves family concerns or referrals from primary care physicians, emphasizing the aesthetic nature of the condition. The most affected toes are the fourth (43.8%) and fifth (25%). Evaluation methods vary, with the Hamer grading scale and Satake imaging system being prominent. Nonsurgical treatments, including taping and observation, are favored for mild cases (grade 0 to 1), whereas surgical interventions, such as tendon transfer and flexor tenotomy, are reserved for moderate to severe cases (grade 2 to 3). Results indicate that conservative treatments yield varied outcomes, with surgical interventions demonstrating more favorable and permanent results, especially for Grades 2 to 3 deformities.

Conclusion:

This study proposes a stepwise management algorithm integrating clinical presentation, severity grading, and age-specific considerations for pediatric CCTs. The aim is to guide both nonsurgical and surgical interventions, enhancing clinical decision making for improved patient outcomes. Further research is recommended for algorithm validation.
