Objective To evaluate the renal cortical blood perfusion changes in rabbits with acute renal failure (ARF) with gray scale contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and to explore the relationship between these changes and the blood creatinine (SCr), as well as the blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Methods Rabbit ARF models were established with 50% glycerin injected into the rabbits' thighs. Gray scale contrast-enhanced ultrasound was performed on the day before injection (T_0) and 1, 4, 8, 12 days (T_1, T_4, T_8, T_(12)) after injection. The renal cortex perfusion time-intensity curve (TIC) was analyzed, including parameters like arrival time (AT), time to peak intensity (TTP), amplitude of peak intensity (A) and slope rate of TIC (β) of renal cortex. Meanwhile the SCr and BUN were measured, the correlation between SCr, BUN and parameters were analyzed. Results Compared with the value of T_0, the value of TTP, A, β after injection (T_1, T_4, T_8) were statistically different, respectively (P<0.05), but the differences among T_1, T_4 and T_8 were various. No linear correlation between above parameters and SCr, BUN was found. Conclusion The renal cortical blood perfusion changes can be early observed with gray scale contrast-enhanced ultrasound, but there is no linear correlation between the changes of parameters and SCr, BUN.

Objective To explore the relativity between the changes of 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H-MRS) in hippocampus and prefrontal lobe and syndrome differentiation of major depression.Methods Sixty patients with major depression(MD) were divided into Group A(phlegm-heat syndrome),Group B(blood stasis syndrome),Group C(deficient fire syndrome) and Group D(cold-dampness syndrome),and other 20 normal controls were selected.The neurochemical abnormalities including the ratios of N-acetylaspartate(NAA)/choline(Cho),NAA/creatine(Cr) and Cho/Cr were measured with three-dimension 1H proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy(3D1H-MRS).Results The ratios of Cho/Cr in white matter of the prefrontal lobe were significant higher in MD patients than that in normal controls(P<0.05);the ratios of NAA/Cr in hippocampus were significant higher in MD patients than that in normal controls(P<0.05).Conclusion There might be the relativity between the neurochemical abnormalities in hippocampus and prefrontal lobe and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation of major depression.

Methods:
Data of TCM indicators (tongue, facial, and pulse diagnostics) and clinical parameters from patients diagnosed with CHD at the Cardiology Department of Shanghai Baoshan Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, from October 3, 2023 to March 15, 2024, were collected. Important variables were identified using importance screening and correlation analysis with CHD risk factors and laboratory markers. Six machine learning models including logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting (GB), were applied to evaluate the risk of coronary artery obstruction by combining clinical and TCM data of CHD. Model performance was assessed using metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall, with reliability validated through ten-fold cross-validation.
Results:
A total of 288 patients were included in the study. Fifteen clinical risk factors, including body mass index (BMI), myoglobin, and alcohol consumption history, were incorporated into the diagnostic models. The KNN model showed good performance when combining clinical data with tongue and facial data. The SVM model performed well when clinical data was combined with pulse data. Among all the models, the KNN model with 10-fold cross-validation, which integrates the three types of TCM diagnostic data (tongue, face, and pulse) with clinical data, performs the best (accuracy: 0.837, precision: 0.814, and recall: 0.809).
Conclusion
Incorporating TCM diagnostic data can enhance the accuracy of coronary artery obstruction risk assessment. The KNN prediction model that integrate tongue, facial, and pulse data performs the best and can be recommended as a clinical decision support tool.
