In this study, we applied generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model to conditional fluctuation characteristics of heart rate variation (HRV) series (congestive heart failure, Normal), with all the data from PhysioNet ECG database. Research results proved the existence of condition fluctuation characteristic in the series of changing rate of HRV. In the GARCH model family, threshold GARCH (1,1)(TGARCH (1,1)) model performs best in fitting changing rate of HRV. Although the structure of ARCH (1) model is simple, its error is the closest to that of TGARCH (1, 1) model. The results also showed that the difference was obvious between disease group and normal group. All these results provide a new method to the research and clinical application of HRV.

Chronic liver diseases can further develop to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Currently, there is no effective treatment except liver orthotopic transplantation at this point. The extreme shortage of liver organ source forced people to find alternative treatment strategies. Mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs) have the abilities of immunomodulatory, hepatocyte differentiation, promotion of liver cells regeneration in situ and inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells. Therefore, MSCs transplantation provides a very broad prospect for cell therapy. It is important to provide preclinical evaluation of the efficacy and safety before the application of cell therapy in clinical trials. The progress of various animal models of human liver diseasees and significance of using MSCs to treat liver diseases in preclincal studies based on these animal models were reviewed in this paper.

Objective To analyze the possible influencing factors of postoperative bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection ( ESD/EMR) for early gastric cancer. Methods Clinical data of patients receiving ESD/EMR for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer at the Endoscopy Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2013 to May 2018, including demographic information ( age, gender and history ) , endoscopic lesion characteristics ( tumor size, location and morphology) and postoperative pathological features ( differentiated types and invasive depth) were collected to analyze the effects of these factors on bleeding after ESD/EMR. Results A total of 195 patients with early gastric cancer were included in the study and 9 cases ( 4. 6%) had postoperative bleeding. The medication history of clopidogrel and main lesion sizes were statistically different between postoperative bleeding group and non-bleeding group ( P=0. 018 and P=0. 034 ) . Multivariate analysis showed a history of clopidogrel ( OR=10. 223, 95%CI:1. 143-91. 468, P= 0. 038 ) , multiple lesions ( OR= 6. 412, 95%CI:1. 123-36. 616, P=0. 037) and lesions sizes of larger than 2 cm ( OR=6. 718, 95%CI:1. 130-39. 935, P=0. 036) were possible risk factors for postoperative bleeding. Survival analysis showed of higher postoperative bleeding risks in patients with the history of clopidogrel ( P<0. 001) and lesions sizes of more than 2 cm ( P=0. 022) . Conclusion More attention should be paid to the risk of ESD/EMR postoperative bleeding in early gastric cancer patients with medication history of clopidogrel and multiple large lesions.

【Objective】 To investigate the efficacy of low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the treatment of penile hypersensitive premature ejaculation. 【Methods】 A total of 66 patients treated during Nov.2021 and Aug.2022 were randomly divided into electrical stimulation group (n=22), local anesthesia group (n=21), and combined therapy group (n=23). The electrical stimulation group received low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation, 5 times a week;the local anesthesia group used compound lidocaine cream 30 minutes before sexual intercourse;the combined therapy group received both treatments. After 3-month treatment, the latency of dorsal nerve somatosensory evoked potential (DNSEP), glans penis somatosensory evoked potential (GPSEP), intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT), premature ejaculation diagnostic tool score (PEDT), and spouse sexual satisfaction score were collected. 【Results】 After treatment, IELT, PEDT, spouse’s sexual life satisfaction score, DNSEP and GPSEP of the three groups were significantly improved (P<0.05). The combined therapy group outperformed the other two groups in all parameters (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the electrical stimulation group and local anesthesia group (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation is effective in the treatment of penile hypersensitive premature ejaculation, and the combination of local anesthetics is more effective, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
