Information extraction in medical field is an important method to structure medical knowledge and discover new knowledge. Traditional methods handle this task in a pipelined manner regarding the entity recognition and relation extraction as two sub-tasks, which, however, neglects the relevance between the two of them. In recent years, the research on the joint extraction model has achieved encouraging results in the general field, yet scholarship focusing on the joint extraction model applied to medical field is insufficient.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to confirm the presence of IL-8Rbeta mRNA in individual human neutrophils using advanced RNA analysis techniques.
- Researchers isolated human neutrophils, conducted regular RT-PCR for initial validation, and then performed single-cell RT-PCR to detect low levels of IL-8Rbeta mRNA.
- Results showed that IL-8Rbeta mRNA is highly expressed in neutrophils, and the methods utilized allow for future comparisons of mRNA levels at the single-cell level.
The present study was designed to investigate the electrophysiological characteristics of rat conduit pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and the response to acute hypoxia. PASMCs of the 1st to 2nd order branches in the conduit pulmonary arteries were obtained by enzymatic isolation. The PASMCs were divided into acute hypoxia preconditioned group and normoxia group.

Methods: Various doses of YZC were administered to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats for 8 consecutive days, twice a day. On the 8th day of the experiment, scopolamine hydrobromide was intraperitoneally injected to every rat and Morris water maze test and shuttle dark avoidance test were carried out respectively to explore the changes of learning and memory capacities in the rats.
