Although the efficacy of tuberculosis (TB) vaccines is tightly linked to cell-mediated immunity, some functions of T and B cells in TB patients remain unclear. To address how Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection inhibits T effector responses, we assessed the proportions of T cell subsets and B cells in peripheral blood from pulmonary TB (PTB) patients, pleural TB (PLTB) patients, and healthy subjects (HS, who showed purified protein derivative (PPD)-positive reactions) with flow cytometry. Compared to HS, PTB and PLTB patients exhibited higher proportions of B cells and Th17 cells, and lower proportions of Th2 cells and ratios of Th1 to Th17 cells and of Th2 to Th17 cells. PTB patients had higher CD4 + T cells and PD-1 + CD4 + T cells than HS. Newly diagnosed PTB patients (nPTB) had higher proportions of B cells than HS; in contrast, PTB patients subjected to effective treatments (oPTB) and HS shared similar proportions of B cells. oPTB patients had higher proportions of CD4 + T cells, Th17 cells, and PD-1 + CD4 + T cells than HS, but this difference did not occur in nPTB patients. These findings suggest that shifting ratios of Th1 to Th17 cells may be beneficial for M. tuberculosis to amplify.
Intent recognition is the first part which needs to be accurately recognized in the conversation between ai and the user. Due to the diversity of user intent, it is difficult to manually define all categories of intent in advance during the training phase. The inability to distinguish undefined intent categories can cause the ai to keep replying to the user with seriously wrong answers, which can greatly reduce the user's sense of experience. Therefore, it is very necessary to realize the recognition of seen intention categories and the distinction of unseen intention categories. In this paper, a model with Automatic probability threshold which based on the bert model is used to ensure accurate recognition of seen intentions while distinguishing unseen intentions. Due to the inadequacy of training samples, the automatic probability threshold model in the paper uses text vectors from two bert models containing different dropout parameters as the training set, which can improve accuracy of the model.
Introduction Vibration training is a widespread exercise. Existing experimental results show that using vibration strength exercises under the same loading conditions can improve the muscular strength of swimmers’ lower limbs. Objective This paper especially studies the effect of vibration exercise on the physical quality of swimmers under various conditions. Methods The athletes were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group used a vibrometer to exercise the lower limb muscles. The control group engaged only in routine training. After eight weeks of practice, the runners tested in the 100m, 150m, 200m, and 400m. The present article also explores the relationship between swimmers of different ages. Results Compared to the control group, there was a significant difference in maximum hip extensor volume between the experimental and control groups. There was also a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The most significant increase in maximal exercise capacity between the two groups was in the ankle. The change in maximum load between the two groups was also significant (P<0.01). Conclusion The vibration training method can improve the swimmer’s knee flexor group. Swimmers can improve their body coordination by performing vibration exercises. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
Introduction The maximal oxygen consumption rate (VO2max) can directly reflect the body's aerobic metabolism and oxygen delivery system. This is a measure of aerobic capacity used to monitor swimmers’ levels and their strength and speed performance. Objective Verify the changes in VO2max when incorporating aerobic exercise training into swimmers’ regular training. Methods 12 volunteer swimmers were divided into two categories: strength training group and regular training group. Both groups performed a fitness test on the 200-meter track before starting the training. VO2 maximal was measured and worked out statistically to verify the results of this competition. The effects of aerobic exercise on the strength and competitive status of the athletes were investigated according to an updated literature review. Results There was a significant change in the maximal oxygen uptake of the athletes after the experimental protocol. The athletes in the strength training group increased their VO2 max compared to the regular training group. The results showed a significant difference in the VO2max index before and after strength training (P<0.05). This suggests that strength training has a significant effect on maximal oxygen consumption. Conclusion Strength training interventions significantly affect athletes’ maximal oxygen consumption intensity and exercise capacity. The aerobic exercise intervention showed evidence of improving the competitive level of athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies -investigation of treatment outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
