The ideal molecular imaging probe should have characteristics of specificity,sensitivity and safety.Aptamers are sing-strand DNA or RNA oligonucleotides which can bind their targets with high specificity and high affinity.Aptamers are new types of molecular imaging probe because they have many advantages,such as their large sum of possible targets,small molecule weights,easily production and modification,low immuno-genicity,high tissue penetration and so on.Now more and more aptamers research on tumor molecular imaging provides a new technology and tool for tumor diagnosis and therapy.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for the most common adverse events, i.e. abdominal pain and distension in sedation-free colonoscopy.Methods:This was a multicenter clinical study, in which clinical data of patients including outpatients and inpatients who underwent selective sedation-free colonoscopy at six gastrointestinal endoscopy centers from July 2017 to December 2019 were collected, including patients' general information, complicating diseases, examination time, examination results, and occurrence of adverse events of abdominal pain and distension. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze the risk factors for adverse events of abdominal pain and distension during sedation-free colonoscopy.Results:A total of 2 394 patients underwent sedation-free colonoscopy, among whom 690 (28.8%) suffered from abdominal pain, and 1 151 (48.1%) experienced abdominal distension. The results of multivariate logistic analysis showed that overweight ( OR=1.33, 95% CI:1.09-1.62, P=0.005), obesity ( OR=1.55, 95% CI:1.14-2.11, P=0.005) and combination of hypertension ( OR=1.58, 95% CI:1.23-2.02, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for abdominal pain during sedation-free colonoscopy, and overweight ( OR=1.40, 95% CI:1.17-1.68, P<0.001) and combination of hypertension ( OR=1.39,95% CI:1.10-1.76, P=0.006) were independent risk factors for abdominal distension during sedation-free colonoscopy. Conclusion:Obesity, overweight and combination of hypertension are independent risk factors for abdominal pain, and overweight and combination of hypertension are independent risk factors for abdominal distension during sedation-free colonoscopy.

As an emerging discipline that combines traditional diagnostic methods with modern scientific technology,micro syndrome differentiation has good prospects for development,but there are some controversies in the research process.Based on ancient and modern literature,this article reviewed the origin and flow of research on micro syndrome differentiation,and summarized the problems to be improved in the process of research on micro syndrome differentiation from three aspects:application of disease type,guiding ideology and micro indicators.Based on this,the article further expounded the new thinking on"near-micro"syndrome differentiation from three aspects:connotation,scope of application,and links to traditional identification and micro-identification,and pointed out that the modern medical detection basis should be incorporated into the field of TCM syndrome differentiation,and at the same time,it should be based on the overall thinking mode of TCM,which would provide a new idea for the development of modern TCM diagnosis technology.
