OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of TCM injection in the clinic. METHODS:In retrospective survey,the application of TCM injections in 3 hospitals from Changshu area during 2013-2015 were analyzed statistically in re-spects of consumption sum,annual growth rate,constituent ratio,DDDs,B/A,DDC,etc. RESULTS:During 2013-2015,in the sample hospitals,consumption sum of TCM injections in 2014 and 2015 declined by 5.27% and 15.92%,compared with last year. The proportion of consumption sum of TCM injections in total consumption sum were 4.40% in 2013,3.86% in 2014 and 3.13%in 2015. Top 3 TCM injections in the list of consumption sum and DDDs were blood activating and stasis eliminating drugs,the re-suscitation and reviving yang first aid class drugs and tonic drugs. The top single types in the list of consumption sum were Xing-naojing injection,Shuxuetong injection,Xuebijing injection,Shenmai injection and Xue shuantong for injection;the top single types in the list of DDDs were Shenmai injection,Reduning injection,Shuxuetong for injection,etc. B/A of Shenmai injection and Reduning injection were higher,while DDC of Xuebijing injection was the highest. CONCLUSIONS:The utilization of TCM injec-tion is basically reasonable,and shows decreasing tendency in sample hospitals,but great importance should be attached to the safe-ty and effectiveness of TCM injections and reasonable choice.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the types of constitution in TCM and the sleep status in the PLA Navy divers. Methods Eighty-nine PLA Navy divers who performed 10m diving professional training were selected. Constitution in TCM was classified and determined by the standardized standard Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire, sleep status was evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results 62.9% of Navy divers were the mild constitution in TCM. The eight kinds of the biased constitution in TCM are ranked with yang deficiency, phlegm-dampness, dampness-heat, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, blood stasis, qi stagnation and special intrinsic quality. Among 78 Navy divers with good sleep quality, there were 49 divers (72.1%) with the mild constitution in TCM and 19 (27.9%) with the biased constitution in TCM. Among 21 Navy divers with poor sleep quality, there were 7 divers (33.3%) with the mild constitution in TCM (accounting for) and 14 (66.7%) with the biased constitution in TCM. For Navy divers with poor sleep quality, the sleep quality scores were positive correlated with the blood stasis constitution in TCM (r=0.481,P<0.05). Conclusion Sleep status is correlated with the types of the constitution in TCM, and regulating constitution in TCM can improve sleep quality in PLA Navy divers.

Objective To investigate the effect of rehabilitation on memory deficits after acquired brain injury, to compare different training models of memory rehabilitation and to analyze the possible factors affecting memory rehabilitation. Methods 144 patients with acquired brain injury following memory deficits were randomly assigned to computer-assisted training group, face-to-face training group and control group. Both training groups were given memory-based cognitive training program once a day which sustained 30 minutes for 6 or 12 weeks. The instantaneous memory, short-term memory and long-term memory were evaluated and compared before and after training. The effect of gender, age, education, course, site of injury and coma time on training efficacy were analyszed as well. Results 6 weeks and 12 weeks at training, both computer-assisted and face-to-face training groups showed a significant improvement in memory abilities when compared to controls (P<0.01), with the former making more progress (P<0.01). Negative correlation was found between age and memory performance. Conclusion Effectiveness of memory rehabilitation is proven. 12 weeks training can significantly improve memory. Cognitive training using professional equipment is significantly more effective than the face-to-face training and should be recommended.

Objective:To develop an artificial intelligence-based system for measuring the size of gastrointestinal lesions under white light endoscopy in real time.Methods:The system consisted of 3 models. Model 1 was used to identify the biopsy forceps and mark the contour of the forceps in continuous pictures of the video. The results of model 1 were submitted to model 2 and classified into open and closed forceps. And model 3 was used to identify the lesions and mark the boundary of lesions in real time. Then the length of the lesions was compared with the contour of the forceps to calculate the size of lesions. Dataset 1 consisted of 4 835 images collected retrospectively from January 1, 2017 to November 30, 2019 in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, which were used for model training and validation. Dataset 2 consisted of images collected prospectively from December 1, 2019 to June 4, 2020 at the Endoscopy Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, which were used to test the ability of the model to segment the boundary of the biopsy forceps and lesions. Dataset 3 consisted of 302 images of 151 simulated lesions, each of which included one image of a larger tilt angle (45° from the vertical line of the lesion) and one image of a smaller tilt angle (10° from the vertical line of the lesion) to test the ability of the model to measure the lesion size with the biopsy forceps in different states. Dataset 4 was a video test set, which consisted of prospectively collected videos taken from the Endoscopy Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from August 5, 2019 to September 4, 2020. The accuracy of model 1 in identifying the presence or absence of biopsy forceps, model 2 in classifying the status of biopsy forceps (open or closed) and model 3 in identifying the presence or absence of lesions were observed with the results of endoscopist review or endoscopic surgery pathology as the gold standard. Intersection over union (IoU) was used to evaluate the segmentation effect of biopsy forceps in model 1 and lesion segmentation effect in model 3, and the absolute error and relative error were used to evaluate the ability of the system to measure lesion size.Results:(1)A total of 1 252 images were included in dataset 2, including 821 images of forceps (401 images of open forceps and 420 images of closed forceps), 431 images of non-forceps, 640 images of lesions and 612 images of non-lesions. Model 1 judged 433 images of non-forceps (430 images were accurate) and 819 images of forceps (818 images were accurate), and the accuracy was 99.68% (1 248/1 252). Based on the data of 818 images of forceps to evaluate the accuracy of model 1 on judging the segmentation effect of biopsy forceps lobe, the mean IoU was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.90-0.92). The classification accuracy of model 2 was evaluated by using 818 forceps pictures accurately judged by model 1. Model 2 judged 384 open forceps pictures (382 accurate) and 434 closed forceps pictures (416 accurate), and the classification accuracy of model 2 was 97.56% (798/818). Model 3 judged 654 images containing lesions (626 images were accurate) and 598 images of non-lesions (584 images were accurate), and the accuracy was 96.65% (1 210/1 252). Based on 626 images of lesions accurately judged by model 3, the mean IoU was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.85-0.87). (2) In dataset 3, the mean absolute error of systematic lesion size measurement was 0.17 mm (95% CI: 0.08-0.28 mm) and the mean relative error was 3.77% (95% CI: 0.00%-10.85%) when the tilt angle of biopsy forceps was small. The mean absolute error of systematic lesion size measurement was 0.17 mm (95% CI: 0.09-0.26 mm) and the mean relative error was 4.02% (95% CI: 2.90%-5.14%) when the biopsy forceps was tilted at a large angle. (3) In dataset 4, a total of 780 images of 59 endoscopic examination videos of 59 patients were included. The mean absolute error of systematic lesion size measurement was 0.24 mm (95% CI: 0.00-0.67 mm), and the mean relative error was 9.74% (95% CI: 0.00%-29.83%). Conclusion:The system could measure the size of endoscopic gastrointestinal lesions accurately and may improve the accuracy of endoscopists.

Nowadays, the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is constantly rising in China and globally, and its incidence rate is increasing year by year, which has seriously affected human life and health. Lipophagy is molecular chaperone-mediated autophagy and has the functions of promoting lipolysis, maintaining the lipid homeostasis of hepatocytes, and alleviating hepatocyte fatty degeneration. Lipophagy has three main processes of lipid droplet catabolism, lipid droplet autophagy, and fatty acid β-oxidation, which are regulated by key genes, receptors, and enzymes. Currently, important advances have been achieved for the intervention methods of traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, diet, and exercise in the research on lipophagy, which provides new perspectives for the prevention and treatment strategies for NAFLD.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has triggered a huge impact on healthcare, socioeconomics, and other aspects of the world over the past three years. An increasing number of studies have identified a complex relationship between COVID-19 and stroke, although active measures are being implemented to prevent disease transmission. Severe COVID-19 may be associated with an increased risk of stroke and increase the rates of disability and mortality, posing a serious challenge to acute stroke diagnosis, treatment, and care. This review aims to provide an update on the influence of COVID-19 itself or vaccines on stroke, including arterial stroke (ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke) and venous stroke (cerebral venous thrombosis). Additionally, the neurovascular mechanisms involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection and the clinical characteristics of stroke in the COVID-19 setting are presented. Evidence on vaccinations, potential therapeutic approaches, and effective strategies for stroke management has been highlighted.
