Study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes is a key to the research of TCM modernization, and the core is the classification and diagnostic criteria of syndromes. The purpose of this article is to review the usage of classification algorithms of data mining in TCM syndrome researches, and comprehensively analyze the main features of algorithms and their applications. The appropriate classification algorithm should be chosen according to different research purposes. Rough sets and cluster analysis are suitable for exploratory research without requiring a prior knowledge. Fuzzy sets theory, neural networks and decision tree are suitable for syndrome diagnostic criteria research when the classification goal is clear, because they require a prior knowledge. Among them, fuzzy sets theory could be used in combination with other classification algorithms. Thus, some new methods such as fuzzy clustering, fuzzy rough sets or fuzzy decision tree might be more suitable for TCM algorithm classification research. It is suggested that some novel classification algorithms need to be developed to fit the condition of TCM syndrome, based on the interdisciplinary theories and technologies.

Objective To investigate the impact of applying patient-centered care concept on easing the negative moods among the parents of the neonates hospitalized in NICU.Methods The parents of neonates (76 people) hospitalized in NICU from March to May in 2012 were selected as the control group,they conducted normal nursing.The parents of neonates hospitalized in NICU during June and August in 2012 were named as the observation group (81 people).In addition to the normal nursing,they were given nursing intervention according to patient-centered care concept.The anxiety and depression moods of the two groups was analyzed.Results Before the patient-centered care concept intervention,there was no statistical difference of SAS,SDS scores for both groups.For the observation group,the SAS,SDS scores after intervention were significantly lower than those before the intervention.While for the control group,there was no statistical difference of SAS,SDS scores.After intervention,the SAS、SDS scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions The negative moods of the parents of hospitalized neonates can be eased significantly by applying patient-centered care concept intervention.

Objective To investigate the effects of COMT G472A genetic polymorphism on postoperative analgesia with fentanyl.Methods One hundred and twenty-nine ASA I or Ⅱ patients aged 19-71 yr undergoing operation on lumbar vertebrae under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the polymorphism of COMT G472A.The patients were assigned into 2 groups according to their genotypes:wild group and mutation group.Pain was assessed using VAS after the patients regained consciousness.When VAS score ＞ 3,the patients were given fentanyl 20μg iv every 5 win until VAS score was decreased to ≤ 3.PCIA was then started.The PCIA solution contained fentanyl 20 μg/kg + flurbiprofenaxetil 150-250 mg or propacetamol 4-6 g in normal saline 75 ml.The patients received a background infusion of 1 ml/h after a loading dose of 3 ml.The PCIA pump was programmed to allow a 0.5 ml bolus with a 15 min lockout interval.The amount of fentan yl infused in 24 h and 48 h was recorded.The amount of flurbiprofen (1 mg=fentanyl 1 μg) or propacetamol (1 g =fentanyl 37.5 μg) was transformed into fentanyl.Results Significantly less fentanyl was consumed in 48 h in mutation group ( n =49) than in wild group ( n =80).Conclusion COMT G472A is a factor contributing to the individual variation in patient' s response to postoperative analgesia with fentanyl.

Objective To analysis the diagnostic values and characteristics of ultrasound and ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) before operation. Methods The data of ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNAC in 129 patients (including 148 PTC nodules) with PTC were collected from January 2014 to February 2017, and the diagnostic reports and feature descriptions of ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNAC were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 148 PTC nodules, the ultrasonographic imaging showed that 84.5% (125/148) with low echo-level solid nodules, 61.5% (91/148) with echo heterogenicity, 77.7% (115/148) with a ratio ≥ 1 in longitudinal/breadth, 69.6 % (103/148) with fuzzy boundary, 75.0% (111/148) with microcalcification in nodules, 97.3% (144/148) without or with incomplete aureole, 64.9% (96/148) with rich blood flow and 7.0% (9/129) with enlargement of cervical lymph nodes. The FNAC diagnosis showed that 78.4% (116/148) was diagnosed with suspected papillary carcinoma, 1.4% (2/148) was diagnosed with malignent tumor, 11.5% (17/148) was diagnosed with atypia of undetermined significance (AUS), 1.4% (2/148) was diagnosed with benign lesion, 0.7% (1/148) was diagnosed with follicular neoplasm and 6.7% (10/148) could not be diagnosed. If the suspected papillary carcinoma and malignent tumor were defined as cytodiagnosis, the diagnostic accordance rate with intraoperative pathology was 79.7%. Conclusion The preoperative accuracy rates of ultrasound diagnosis and ultrasound guided FNAC diagnosis for patients with PTC are high, and the characteristics of the both are also typical. The two examinations before operation are helpful for early diagnosis and treatment formulation for patients with PTC.

Objective To observe the changes of zymophagy during experimental acute pancreatitis (AP) induced by caerulein.Methods Pancreatic acinar cell line AR42J cells were cultured in 6-well plates till 90％ confluent and then divided into AP group and control group.Caerulein (1 × 10-8 mol/L) was added into AP group to establish AP cell model,and 1640 cell culture medium was added into control group.After caerulein treated for one,four,six,eight,12 and 24 hours,cells and cell culture supernatant were collected.The levels of cytokine interleukin (IL)-1,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α,trypsinogen activation (TAP) and amylase were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.The expression of LC3 and Beclin1 at mRNA of each group were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The LC3B protein level of each group were detected by Western blotting.The changes of autophagosome and zymophagosome were observed by transmission electron microscopy.The difference between AP group and control group was analyzed by analysis of variance.Results The level of IL-1,TNFα,amylase and TAP in cell culture supernatant of control group was (18.83±7.10) pg/mL,(14.20±3.79) pg/mL,(10.03±2.85) U/L and (39.48±8.62) pg/mL,respectively.Those of AP group significantly increased at first hour ((62.13±11.25) pg/mL,F=3.32,P＜0.01 ; (30.98±7.11) pg/mL,F=3.05,P＜0.05; (25.06±6.82) U/L,F=2.90,P＜0.05 and (128.51± 18.30) pg/mL),F=2.62,P＜0.01,at fourth or sixth hour reached peak (IL-1 at fourth hour:(71.96± 15.82) pg/mL,F=7.25,P＜0.01;TNFα at sixth hour:(39.92±8.94) pg/mL,F=4.93,P＜0.05; amylase at fourth hour:(28.83 ± 8.31) U/L,F=2.06,P＜0.05; TAP at fourth hour:(146.29± 29.36) pg/mL,F=0.14,P＜0.01) and then gradually decreased.At fourth and sixth hour,the expression of LC3 at mRNA level in AP group was 3.18±0.82,1.71±0.14,respectively,while the expression of Beclin-1 rnRNA at first,fourth hour was 2.44±0.34 and 4.13±0.30,all of them were significantly increased compared with those of control group (0.21±0.04 and 0.30±0.08,LC3 mRNA F=0.79、0.06; Beclin mRNA F=2.31、0.36,all P＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences at other time points.The numbers of autophagosome and zymophagosome of AP group were significantly higher than those of control group under transmission electron microscopy.Conclusion Zymophagy occurred during AP cell model induced by caerulein,which suggested that zymophagy might involve in the mechanism of AP.
