Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2005;3(6):13-14
Purpose: To observe the therapeutic effect of radio-frequency current therapy and TDP plus electroacupuncture in treating chronic prostatitis. Methods: The WE2102-3 type radio-frequency current apparatus made in Dalian and TDP plus electroacupuncture were adopted to treat 35 cases of chronic prostatitis, each treatment lasted 40 min, and 15 times made up a course of treatment, 2-3 courses in all. Results: Twelve cases was cured, 10 cases was remarkably effective, 8 cases was effective, 5 cases got no effect, with the total effective rate being 62.9%. Conclusion: The radio-frequency current therapy and TDP plus electro-acupuncture had a better effect on chronic prostatitis.

Objective:To construct an automatic recognition system for PD patients with freezing of gait (FOG) based on mobile phone videos by recording the gait videos of PD patients with FOG.Methods:Forty-nine PD patients with FOG, admitted to our hospital from December 2020 to May 2021, were chosen in our study. Their clinical data were collected. The processes of these patients accepted "3-meter-round trip" and "3-meter-round trip through narrow (0.6 m)" were recorded and 87 valid gait videos were extracted. Position signals of key points in the video were extracted, and featured data were extracted after signal preprocessing. From the featured data, action recognition model, straight FOG recognition model and turn FOG recognition model were established respectively, and finally end-to-end FOG recognition model was formed. Leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) method was used to evaluate the performance of the above models.Results:A total of 22 066 non-FOG window samples and 3815 FOG window samples were obtained from 87 valid videos, which constituted the training sample pool of this study. LOSO method showed that the motion recognition model enjoyed 83.27% sensitivity, 91.38% specificity, and 89.28% accuracy; the straight FOG recognition model enjoyed 57.69% sensitivity and 88.12% specificity; the turn FOG recognition model enjoyed 61.54% sensitivity and specificity 98.72%; and the end-to-end FOG recognition model enjoyed 85.71% sensitivity and 75.73% specificity.Conclusion:The automatic recognition system for PD patients with FOG based on mobile phone videos has relatively high sensitivity and specificity, which can realize remote assessment and is convenient for screening and follow-up of PD patients with FOG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of the polymorphisms of ATM(rs11212617), KCNJ11(rs5219), CYP2C9(rs1799853, rs1057910), TCF7L2(rs12255372, rs290487) and IRS1(rs1801278) on efficacy of metformin and gliclazide combined treatment for diabetes mellitus type 2. METHODS Eighty-one patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 in Standardized Metabolic Disease Management Center of the Endocrinology Department of of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University Affiliated Jiaxing TCM Hospital were enrolled in this study, and they were treated with metformin hydrochloride tablets and gliclazide modified release tablets. MassARRAY was used to type the above single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP), and followed up for 3 months. Fasting plasma glucose(FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin type Alc(HbA1c) and fasting insulin(FINS) were compared before and after treatment. RESULTS The gene frequencies of all SNPs were compliant to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the samples were well represented. The rs1799853, rs1057910, rs12255372 and rs1801278 had low mutation frequencies with poor clinical significance. The benefits of FPG compliance rate, increase of FINS, decrease of HbAlc after treatment were stronger in patients with homozygous rs5219 C allele than those with T-allele carriers (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in treatment effects among the genotypes of rs11212617 and rs290487. CONCLUSION The rs5219 polymorphism of KCNJ11 gene is associated with the efficacy of metformin hydrochloride tablets and gliclazide modified release tablets in treating diabetes mellitus type 2, with a more significant effect observed in individuals homozygous for the C allele. This finding can serve as a reference for personalized medication in clinical treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2.
