Objective To develop a method for nou-invasive risk model that can be used in health management system and primary healthcare centers. Methods Based on systematic phenotype measurement and modified superviser-based machine learning, an applicable and low-cost method for non-invasive disease risk prediction model was developed. Invasive risk assessment model for Chinese isehemic cardiovascular diseases (ICVD) was used as a supervised standard reference to provide evidence based non-invasive model with skin resistance on 24 acupeints. Results A total of 4606 cases from a physical examination system were collected to develop the model. For those reasonable evaluation indeies, the coincidence of non-invasive with invasive risk prediction model was > 90% on average level. Conclusions This method could be used to develop non-invasive risk assessment model for the common diseases.

Objective To investigate the expressions of amyloid precursor protein and β-microtubule protein,and to study their clinical significance in patients with cerebral infarction.Methods 108 cases of acute cere-bral infarction as the observation group and 60 normal adults as the control group were collected in the study.The expressions of amyloid precursor protein and β-microtubule protein in different clinical characters were detected by western blot.Results The results of observation group [APP:(168.78 ±13.64)μg/L,β-tubulin:(124.64 ± 27.08)μg/L]were significantly higher than those in control group (t =22.81,P <0.01;t =21.08,P <0.01).Their expressions were correlated with CT scores and prognosis.Conclusion The higher expressions of amyloid precursor protein and β-microtubule protein may promote the occurrence and development in patients with cerebral infarction. The joint detection should be helpful to predict the prognosis and direct the treatment.

Objective To explore the efficacy and side effect of CAG (G-CSF, aclarubicin and cytarabine) priming chemotherapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Methods 54 patients with AML at diagnosis and relapse or MDS were'enrolled for the initial treatment with CAG regimen. Patients who have achieved complete remission (CR) were treated with various regimens. Results The total effective rate was 72.2 %, complete remission rate was 48.1% and partial remission rate was 24.1%. The incidence of granulocyte deficiency was 40.7 %(22/54). The severe infection rate was 24.1%(13/54). One case died of function damage in liver. The study includes 36 patients below 60 years, 18 patients above 60 years, and overall effective cases are 28 (77.8 %), 11 (61.1%),respectively. There was significant difference (P ＜0.05). Conclusion CAG regimen is effective and well tolerated in remission for AML and MDS-RAEB.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of acupuncture plus tuina therapy for insomnia.
Methods:Totally 100 eligible patients were randomized into a treatment group (n=51) and a control group (n=49) by using the random number table. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Fengchi (GB 20), Wangu (GB 12), Shenting (GV 24), Anmian [Extra, locates at the midpoint between Yiming (EX-HN 14) and Fengchi (GB 20)], and Neiguan (PC 6) plus tuina treatment; the control group was intervened by acupuncture alone. For both groups, the treatment was given once a day, 10 sessions as a treatment course, and the efficacies were evaluated and compared after 3 treatment courses.
Results:Of the 51 subjects in the treatment group, 46 cases completed 3 treatment courses, and 17 cases were cured, 18 cases showed marked efficacy, 7 cases were improved, 4 cases had invalid result, and the total effective rate was 91.3%. Of the 49 subjects in the control group, 46 cases completed 3 treatment courses, and 8 cases were cured, 12 cases showed marked efficacy, 14 cases were improved, 12 cases had invalid result, and the total effective rate was 73.9%. The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Acupuncture plus tuina can calm the mind and activate meridian qi in treating insomnia, and it can produce a more significant efficacy than pure acupuncture treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine on myocardial injury (in perioperative peri‐od) on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients with rheumatic heart valve replacement surgery .Methods Patients undertook rheumatic heart valve replacement surgery with mitral stenosis were divided into three groups (n=20) in randomized and double‐blind method :control group (group C) ,dexmedetomidine 0 .3 μg/kg group (DEX1 group) ,dexmedetomidine 0 .6 μg/kg group (DEX2 group) .Central venous blood was drawn respectively before anesthesia induction (T0 ) ,2h after CPB (T1 ) ,24 h after CPB (T2 ) ,48 h after CPB (T3 ) ,72 h after CPB (T4 ) .Plasma muscle calcium protein I (cTnI) and creatine kinase (CreatineKinase MB , CK‐MB) were measured and mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded at each time point .Furthermore ,extubation time , ICU stay ,postoperative inotropic score 24 h after operation ,drainage 24 h after operation ,cardio auto‐resuscitation rates and ad‐verse cardiovascular events were recorded .Results Compared with T0 ,HR was significantly lower in the T1 time point in DEX2 group .Compared with group C ,HR ,plasma CK‐MB ,inotropic score 24 h after operation and cardiovascular adverse events was sig‐nificantly reduced in the T1 time points in DEX1 group (P<0 .05) ,but the heart auto‐resuscitation rate did not significantly im‐proved .HR at T1 ,plasma CK‐MB values at T1 and T2 ,and plasma cTnI values at T2 -T4 were significantly reduced ;the heart re‐suscitation significantly increased ,myocardial contraction power ratings 24 h after operation and the incidence of cardiovascular e‐vents was significantly lower in DEX2 group (P<0 .05) .The extubation time ,ICU stay time and drainage 24 h after operation did not change significantly in both groups .Conclusion Dexmedetomidine has a protective effect on perioperative myocardial injury in patients with rheumatic heart valve replacement surgery ,and the effect would be better when the dexmedetomidine was infused at 0 .6 μg · kg -1 · h-1 after a loading dose of 0 .6 μg/Kg continuously .

Objective To study the value of blood glucose changes and the severity of the disease in patients with the systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS).Methods In 328 SIRS patients without diabetes,intravenous blood glucose was monitored before open intravenou channel and subsequently 3~8h after intervals.The blood glucose was reviewed if glucose was abnormal 24h later.Results The blood glucose was higher than normal in 287(87.5%)patients with SIRS,of which 44 cases were death(13.4%).The higher the blood glucose level was,the higher the mortality rate was.Conclusion Blood glucose of patients with SIRS was elevated.If the blood glucose was 3 times higher than the normal,patients with SIRS had a higher mortality rate.

Objective To investigate the effects of early pregnancy exposure to hazardous indoor air pollutants due to interior decoration and hyperthermia on neurobehavioral development of postnatal rats.Methods Twenty-two pregnant rats were randomly divided into 4 groups.Each group was placed in pollutants cabinet,hyperthermia cabinet,hyperthermia+pollutants cabinet and empty cabinet respectively for 2 h per day for 10 d since their pregnancy.The weight and neurobehavioral development of postnatal rats were observed at different time points.The number of apoptotic and dead neurons in the CA1 region of hippocampus was observed in postnatal rats.The expression of the NR1 subunit of NMDA receptor of hippocampal neurons was also detected.Results Indoor pollutants and hyperthermia could accelerate apoptosis and necrosis of hippocampal neurons in CA1 region of postnatal rats and increase the expression of NR1 subunit of NMDA receptor.Furthermore,hazardous indoor pollutants and hyperthermia could induce remarkable influences on postnatal rats’ neurobehavioral development,learning and memory capability.Indoor pollutants combined with hyperthermia aggravated these effects.Conclusion Exposure to environment of the hazardous indoor pollutants especially combined with hyperthermia during early pregnancy has remarkable influences on the nervous system of postnatal rats.
