Objective:To develop and evaluate the Self-rating Identification Scale for Common Syndromic Elements of Coronary Heart Disease.Methods:The item pool of the Self-rating Identification Scale for Common Syndromic Elements of Coronary Heart Disease was formed through literature review and expert consultation. Items were screened by combining frequency, correlation coefficient, Cronbach's α coefficient and factor analysis. Subjective and objective weighting was used to determine the weight of items, and diagnostic threshold was determined by receiver operator characteristic curve. Cronbach's α coefficient and factor analysis were used to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The Self-rating Identification Scale for Common Syndromic Elements of Coronary Heart Disease had a total of 6 syndrome elements and 36 items. It included 3 items of blood stasis, 9 items of phlegm, 7 items of Qi stagnation, 5 items of Qi deficiency, 6 items of Yin deficiency, and 6 items of Yang deficiency, and the diagnostic thresholds were 1.000, 45.300, 36.400, 66.600, 33.900, and 30.500 respectively. The test-retest reliability coefficients of each dimension of the scale were all greater than 0.7, and the internal consistency reliability coefficients of each dimension were 0.540 to 0.848. In the factor analysis, each variable with a common factor load coefficient greater than 0.4 was extracted, and the results were completely consistent with the scale entry settings. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 53.822%.Conclusions:The reliability and validity of the Self-rating Identification Scale for Common Syndromic Elements of Coronary Heart Disease are good, and it has scientific research and clinical application value.

4.Assessment of atrial fibrillation inducibility based on epicardial mapping signals.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2020;37(3):487-495
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinic, which can cause hemodynamic changes, heart failure and stroke, and seriously affect human life and health. As a self-promoting disease, the treatment of AF can become more and more difficult with the deterioration of the disease, and the early prediction and intervention of AF is the key to curbing the deterioration of the disease. Based on this, in this study, by controlling the dose of acetylcholine, we changed the AF vulnerability of five mongrel dogs and tried to assess it by analyzing the electrophysiology of atrial epicardium under different states of sinus rhythm. Here, indices from four aspects were proposed to study the atrial activation rule. They are the variability of atrial activation rhythm, the change of the earliest atrial activation, the change of atrial activation delay and the left-right atrial dyssynchrony. By using binary logistic regression analysis, multiple indices above were transformed into the AF inducibility, which were used to classify the signals during sinus rhythm. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of classification reached 85.7%, 95.8% and 91.7%, respectively. As the experimental results show, the proposed method has the ability to assess the AF vulnerability of atrium, which is of great clinical significance for the early prediction and intervention of AF.

ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of physical activity on executive function of children and adolescents, and sort out the related factors. MethodsArticles about physical activity intervention for children and adolescents on executive function were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, Google Scholar, Wiley Online Library and PubMed, from January 1st, 2010 to June 30th, 2021. The articles were screened, evaluated and systematically reviewed. ResultsA total of 21 articles were included, from eleven countries, including 13 randomized controlled trials, involving 2 496 subjects, aged five to 18 years. The articles were published from 2010 to 2019, with mean score of Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale as 5.57. The physical activity intervention mainly involved physical fitness, skills and sport games, with low to high intensity, eight to 120 minutes a time, one to five times a week, no more than ten months. Physical activity was indicated to improve the executive function, specifically inhibition control, working memory and cognitive flexibility, such as the improvement of the accuracy and reaction time of cognitive tasks, and activation of bilateral prefrontal cortex activity. Types, intensity, duration, frequency and cycle of physical activity, participant selection, and assessment tools were related to the effect of intervention. ConclusionPhysical activity can improve the inhibition control, working memory and cognitive flexibility of children and adolescents. The main factors related to the intervention effect are the physical activity elements, the participant's factors and the experimental design factors.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Huanglian Wendan Decoction (黄连温胆汤, HLWDD) alone or combined with western medicine in treating insomnia caused by phlegm-heat internal disturbance in recent 10 years. Methods The randomized controlled trials of HLWDD alone or combined with western medicine in treating insomnia caused by phlegm-heat internal disturbance from January 1, 2012 to April 1, 2022 were searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), Wanfang Database, China BioMedical Literature Database (CBM), PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. After being screening, the included literature was analyzed to evaluate the effective rate, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, and adverse reactions of HLWDD on insomnia caused by phlegm-heat internal disturbance. The subgroup analyzed the effect of HLWDD after different treatment courses, and compared the therapeutic effects of HLWDD alone and HLWDD combined with western medicine. Results Twenty-seven randomized controlled trials were finally included, with a total of 2 395 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the curative effect of HLWDD alone or combined with the western medicine group was better than that of the western medicine group [RR = 1.14, 95% CI (1.06, 1.22), P = 0.000]. The PSQI score [SMD = – 0.31, 95% CI (– 0.42, – 0.20), P = 0.000], TCM syndrome score [SMD = – 0.40, 95% CI (– 0.67, – 0.12), P = 0.005], and adverse reaction rate [RR = 0.21, 95% CI (0.15, 0.29), P = 0.000] of HLWDD alone or combined with western medicine group were significantly reduced compared with the western medicine group. The subgroup’s analysis showed that the curative effect of HLWDD alone or combined with western medicine group of 4 weeks treatment course was better than that of the western medicine group [RR = 1.14, 95% CI (1.03, 1.26), P < 0.05]. The TCM syndrome score of HLWDD alone or combined with the western medicine group of 4 weeks treatment course decreased more obviously than that of the western medicine group [SMD = – 0.60, 95% CI (– 0.96, – 0.25), P < 0.05]. There were no significant differences between HLWDD alone or combined with western medicine group and western medicine group with different treatment courses based on PSQI score and adverse reaction rate. Based on the effective rate, the comparison between the HLWDD alone group and the western medicine group [RR = 1.09, 95% CI (1.00, – 1.20) P < 0.05], and between the HLWDD combined with western medicine group and the western medicine group [RR = 1.15, 95% CI (1.03, 1.29), P < 0.05] was the same. PSQI score [SMD = – 0.44, 95% CI (– 0.59, – 0.30), P < 0.05] and TCM syndrome score [SMD = – 1.10, 95% CI (– 1.59, – 0.61), P < 0.05] of HLWDD combined with western medicine group were significantly lower than those of the western medicine group. There were no significant differences of adverse reaction rate between HLWDD alone group [RR = 0.08, 95% CI (0.04, 0.17), P < 0.05] and HLWDD combined with western medicine group [RR = 0.36, 95% CI (0.24, 0.53), P < 0.05]. Conclusion HLWDD alone or combined with western medicine is an effective treatment for insomnia caused by phlegm-heat internal disturbance, which has a high effective rate, significantly reduced PSQI score and TCM syndrome score, and favorable safety. The best course of treatment is 4 weeks.
