This paper is devoted to discussing two research patterns of biological basis of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome and presenting a research strategy for data mining methods. It points out that data mining methods which are based on feature selection are better fit for investigating biological basis of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome. Based on such a discussion, the concept of "characteristic pattern" is proposed to bridge the gap between "golden index" and biological basis of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome. This paper presents a novel research avenue for investigating biological basis of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome.

Abstract
Blood donation institutions mainly rely on manual identification for pre-donation health screening of blood donors. To further ensure the safety of blood donation and minimize the participation of unqualified donors, Ningbo Central Blood Station developed and launched a pre-blood donation health screening software as a supplement to the manual identification in May 2023. The software establishes preset rules based on the conditions of donors who are ineligible or temporarily ineligible to donate blood in Whole Blood and Component Donor Selection Requirements (GB 18467-2011), retrieves the health records of blood donors from the Ningbo National Health Information System and compares with the preset rules. When a preset rule is triggered, the medical examiner receives a warning. The pre-donation health screening software effectively enhances the capabilities of blood donation institutions in identifying unqualified donors. It is conducive to promoting the standardization of the pre-donation health screening process, the intelligence of blood donation services and blood management, and the establishment of a more scientific and efficient pre-donation health screening procedure.

Objective To investigate the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene encoding human leukocyte antigen-G ( HLA-G) and the genetic susceptibility to high risk human papillomavirus ( HPV) type 18 infection in the subjects from Taizhou, Zhejiang province. Methods The genetic polymorphisms of HLA-G gene (14 bp In/Del and +3142C/G) in cervical samples collected from HPV 18-positive and healthy women were analyzed by PCR and gene sequencing technology. Statistical anal-ysis was performed by using SPSS version 16. 0. Chi-squared test was used to analyze the differences with HLA-G gene allele and genotype frequencies between healthy subjects and patients. Results Compared with healthy subjects, women with oncogenic HPV18 infection showed lower frequencies of -14 bp allele,-14 bp/-14 bp genotype and -14 bp/+3142C haplotype (P<0. 05). Moreover, lower frequencies of+3142C/C genotype were detected in HPV18-infected women with pathologically normal cervix (6. 3% vs 21. 1%, OR=0. 25, P<0. 05) and higher percentages of +3142G/G genotype were detected in women with CIN2/3 stage HPV18 infection as compared with those of the control group (68. 8% vs 35. 1%, OR=4. 06, P<0. 05). Conclusion The HLA-G gene 3′ UTR polymorphisms were closely associated with HPV18 in-fection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Objective: To develop 5-FU multiple emulsion entrapped into thermo-sensitive gel (5-FU-DEG) and detect the ab-sorption and transportation in Caco-2 cell monolayer model. Methods:The 5-FU multiple emulsion was prepared by a two-step emulsif-ying method. Poloxamer 407 (P407) was used as the thermo-sensitive material and sodium alginate (SA) was used as the bioadhesive material for the preparation of 5-FU-DEG. Caco-2 cell monolayer model was used to investigate the transportation and absorption of 5-FU. Results:5-FU-DEG gelled at the ambient temperature and turned into liquid below 10℃ The apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of 5-FU-DEG was 1.47 ±0.11 ×10 -5(cm·s-1), which was about 6 times higher than that of 5-FU water solution(2.39 ± 0.21 ×10 -6 cm·s-1)(P<0.01). The cellular uptake rate of 5-FU-DEG was (17.1 ±0.24) %, which was 3.9 times greater than that of 5-FU water solution (4. 41 ± 0. 23%)(P<0. 01). Conclusion:5-FU-DEG can efficiently enhance the transportation and ab-sorption of drug in rectal site by using micro-emulsion technology combined with thermo-sensitive technology, which can be an effective rectal delivery system for 5-FU to treat rectal cancer.
