Objective To observe the cardiac function in acute brain injury patients(ABI)and the relationship between ABI and plasma neuropeptideY(NPY),and to inspect the mechanism and find the evidences for preventing cardiac impairment caused by ABI. Methods 89 patients with acute brain injury within 24 hours after the injury were divided into severe group(n =47)and mild group(n = 42)according to Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS),and 35 normal healthy adults were selected as control group.In 24 hours and 72 hours after the brain injury,all patients were examined with echocardiography to observe cardiac structure,Doppler blood flow velocity and cardiac function,and in the same time the plasma NPY were determined by radioimmunoassay.Then the results were compared with controls. Results The parameters of cardiac function such as EF、 SV.AV、CO、CI had statistical change in 24 hours and 72hours after the brain injury between severe ABI group and mild ABI group,and it also had statistical change between severe ABI group and control group(all P <0.05),but no statistical change between mild ABI group and control group(all P <0.05).The level of plasma NPY in ABI patients was significantly higher than that before injury,there was statistically different change between severe ABI group and mild ABI group,and it also had statistical change between severe ABI group and control group(all P<0.05).The parameters of cardiac function was negatively correlated with the rise of plasma NPY by pearson correlation analysis(EF:r =- 0.79,P <0.01; SV:r =- 0.71,P <0.01;AV:r=-0.67,P <0.01 ;E/A:r =-0.63,all P <0.01)and(CO:r =- 0.32,P <0.05;CI:r =-0.35,all P <0.05). Conclusion The parameters of cardiac function were significantly decreased in the patients with acute brain injury,and it was closely related with the level of plasma NPY.

Objective To compare the changes of plasma lipid indexes and coronary artery atherosclerotic plaque in TaqI B genotypes in CHD patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) before and after statin therapy. Methods A total of 196 CHD with IGT and 160 controls were included. The changes of plasma lipid indexes and coronary artery atherosclerotic plaque in TaqI B genotypes were analyzed before and after Rosovastatin therapy. Sequenom Mass ARRAY platform was used to detect the CETP TaqI B SNPs. Results The genotype frequency of the B1B1, B1B2 and B2B2 in CHD with IGT group was 35.7%, 48.0% and 16.3% respectively, while in control group was 31.3%, 53.1% and 15.6% respectively. HDL-C, PA and MLA levels increased after Rosuvastatin therapy, while LDL-C, TG, TCH, Lpa, PA, EEMA and PB levels decreased. Conclusions CETP gene polymorphisms TaqI B would have association with the effects of Rosuvastatin therapy in the CHD with IGT.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a relatively rare type of gastrointestinal tract tumors. Thus, it is difficult to perform randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of GIST in a single center, which are often plagued by a small number of participants. Real world study (RWS) is a complement to the evidence derived from traditional RCT. Emerging sources of real world data offer enormous opportunity for deeper understanding of why treatments work (or not) and for whom. Evidence generated from RWD can help clarify best use of treatments for individuals and populations, and care value. Thus, RWS of GIST has attracted much attention. RWS helps us better understand the diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and outcome prediction of GIST in clinical practice. GIST is often misdiagnosed as other tumor. A diagnostic test provides evidence on how well a test correctly identifies or rules out GIST. Therapeutic research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and/or safety of a therapy for GIST. Prognostic research aims to forecast the likely outcome of GIST, explore the factors affecting the outcome, and analyze quality of life. Predictive research aims to quantify the probability of identification or health outcome of GIST based on a set of predictors. Pharmacoeconomic data in real world can evaluate the cost-effectiveness of medicinal products for GISTs and serve as a guidance tool for optimal healthcare resource allocation. Attaching importance to data sourse and data quality, strenthening communicate with a qualified statistician, and the implementation of a standardized process are necessary for performing a high-quality RWS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical application of 256 multi-slice spiral computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) technique in the preoperative evaluation of mesenteric angiography in order to provide a reference to vessel anatomy and dissociation in laparoscopic radical operation for colorectal carcinoma.
METHODSClinical data of 50 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent preoperative MSCTA+FDCT and laparoscopic curative operation at our hospital from October 2013 to March 2015 were collected (MSCTA group). The evaluation item was visualization of mesenteric artery, which was compared with the findings under laparoscopic surgery. Meanwhile, another 50 colorectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical operation by the same surgeon team without preoperative MSCTA examination were used as control(control group). Clinical data were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSMSCTA precisely and correctly demonstrated anatomy and variations of the mesenteric artery and relative nutrient vessel in carcinoma. The angiography reconstruction images were consistent with the visual anatomy and variation from laparoscopic findings, whose diagnostic conformity rate of 100%. As compared to control group, operative time was shorter [(195.0±23.2) minutes vs.(218.0±19.6) minutes, t=8.326, P=0.015], and blood loss was less[(168.1±18.8) ml vs. (206.5±14.3) ml, t=-19.369, P=0.002] in MSCTA group. Differences of number of harvested lymph node, postoperative complication morbidity, postoperative hospital stay and hospitalization cost were not significant between two groups(all P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONPreoperative MSCTA can demonstrate anatomy and variations of the mesenteric artery precisely and correctly, thus it is beneficial to shorten the operation time and to reduce blood loss.

With the continuous progress of research methodology in the real world and the growing maturity of artificial intelligence technology, a method for conducting “quantitative” research to guide clinical practice based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment data was gradually developed. However, there is still a need for further improvements in the overall design of studies and the transformation of findings into clinical practice. Based on this, we put forward a comprehensive overall design concept and application approach for real-world study and artificial intelligence research based on clinical diagnosis and treatment data of TCM. This approach consists of five steps: Constructing a research-based database with a large sample size and high data quality; Mining and classification of core prescriptions; Conducting cohort studies to evaluate the effectiveness of core prescriptions; Utilizing case-control studies to clarify the dominant population; Establishing predictive models to achieve precision medicine. Additionally, it is imperative for researchers to establish a standardized system for collecting TCM variables and processing data, optimize the determination and measurement methods of confounding factors, further improve and promote methodologies, and strengthen the training of interdisciplinary talents. By following this research method, we anticipate that the clinical translation of research findings will be facilitated, leading to advancements in TCM precision medicine. Real-world study and artificial intelligence research share similar research foundations, and clinical applications complement each other. In the future, the two will merge together.
