This paper aims to help people better understand the Chinese public outlook towards e-sports through the calculation and visual analysis of social media big data, so as to provide reference for the development of e-sports industry and relevant decisions. A mixed-method approach is employed to analyze social media texts by combining quantitative sentiment analysis with qualitative topic and keyword analysis. We have completed the topic coding table of public outlook to e-sports and analyzed the topic distribution and trend. We also have carried out keyword extraction and sentiment calculation for each topic to understand their main contents and sentiment changes. The results show that the Chinese public are paying more and more attention to e-sports and they care about E-sports Profession and E-sports Competition most. Especially, discussions on E-sports Culture show a trend of diversified, profound and normalized development. Combined with keyword analysis and sentiment analysis, it's indicated that people are trying to revise their past recognition of e-sports, but it is still closely related to games in the eyes of the public. Besides, people's sentiment towards the e-sports topics has changed from doubt to recognition, and tends to be stable, while they are more willing to exploration on the e-sports education system, e-sports professionalization and the combination between e-sports and traditional sports.

Objective: Uncertainty is one key factor influencing physician and patient behavior. We examined the propensity to express uncertainty on mental health versus biomedical issues by elderly patients (>65 years) and physicians during primary care visits. Methods: 385 videotaped visits were coded according to "topics," which are issues raised by any participant during the visit. This approach allowed us to examine if uncertainty was expressed in biomedical, mental health or other topics, and the factors associated with expressions of uncertainty. Results: We found that patients expressed uncertainty in 20.21% of topics compared to physicians expressing uncertainty in 11.73% of topics discussed in all visits. Patients expressed uncertainty in 22% of biomedical and 46.5% (p < 0.01) of mental health topics. Similar statistics were found in physicians' expression of uncertainty with more uncertainty being expressed with mental health topics (23.9%) than biomedical topics (12.56%, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Patients expressed more uncertainties than physicians during visits. Patients and physicians both expressed more uncertainties on mental health topics suggesting that patients and primary care physicians felt less knowledgeable or less confident about dealing with mental health issues. Practice implications: Understanding the inherent uncertainties in medicine can help physicians and patients engage in more productive discussion about both biomedical and mental health topics.
