Non-linear intelligent mathematical statistics and symptomatic index groups were used to analyze the ideas and methods of data mining, with a purpose to improve and perfect the methodology of the development of syndromes scale and to improve the establishment and application of the syndrome scale.

Objective To evaluated the improving effect of training method of point-line-plane on development quotient in premature infants with brain injury.Methods 174 cases of premature children with brain injury were randomly divided into study group (89 cases) and control group (85 cases).Control group given Bobath and Vojta traditional rehabilitation training,and the study group was given training method of point-line-plane.Patients in both groups were evaluated synthetically based on The Evaluation Chart on Neu-robehavioral Development of Children Aged 0-6 Years,developed by Capital Institute of Pediatrics,prior to the treatment,and after the first,the second,and the third course of the training programs,respectively.Re-sults The score of developmental quotient ( DQ) between study group and control group was no significantly different(P>0.05).Compared with before treatment, the scores of DQ was significantly increased after the first, the second and the third course of training treatment in study group and control group((82.71±12.28) vs (81.17±9.63), t=0.859, P>0.05;(89.65±10.02) vs (87.02±7.39), t=1.747, P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the scores of DQ in study group was no significant difference after the first and the second course of treatment,but there was significantiy different after the third course treatment((95.26±8.87) vs (91.31±7.63), t=2.945, P=0.004).Conclusion The training method of point-line-plane can improve the clinical efficacy of premature infants with brain injury at the early phase, which is worth widely applying in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the relationship between blood vessel invasion (BVI) and clinicopathologic features and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer,and analyze related factors affecting the prognosis of patients.Methods The clinicopathological data of 206 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2007 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.The BVI of surgical tumor specimens in all patients was detected by immunohistochemical staininng.All the patients were followed up via outpatient examination and telephone interview up to March 2014.The count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method.The survival analysis and univariate analysis were done using the Log-rank test,and multivariate analysis was done using the COX regression model.Results The BVI rate of 206 patients was 27.67％ (57/206).The BVI rate of tumor tissues,tumor differentiation,perineural invasion,T stage,N stage and TNM stage in all patients with gastric cancer were compared,showing significant differences (x2=14.396,9.569,15.579,43.453,30.732,P ＜ 0.05).After operation,188 patients were followed up for 6.0-60.0 months (median,34.0 months),with the follow-up rate of 91.26％ (188/206).Among 188 patients with follow-up,the median survival time and 5-year cumulative survival rate in patients with BVI and with negative BVI were 32.4 months and 19.6％,40.7 months and 42.0％,respectively,with a significant difference in the survival of patients (x2 =9.364,P ＜ 0.05).The results of univariate analysis showed that the diameter of tumor,tumor differentiation,perineural invasion,BVI,T stage,N stage and TNM stage were factors affecting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (x2=9.241,17.486,11.243,9.364,27.666,216.745,49.887,P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that the diameter of tumormore than 5 cm,BVI,stage T4,stage N3 and stage Ⅲ were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (HR =0.502,0.456,0.052,0.001,0.735; 95％ confidence interval:0.334-0.754,0.289-0.720,0.004-0.664,0.000-0.006,0.159-3.398,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions BVI in patients with gastric cancer is associated with the progression of tumors.The diameter of tumor more than 5cm,BVI,stage T4,stage N3 and stage Ⅲ are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer,and BVI may be a predictor of poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.

Objective:The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the core attributes of the four general practice models in Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen, and to provide the suggestions for strengthening the general practice functions. Methods: We used the two stage sampling method in this study. Firstly, three CHCs in Guangzhou, two in Dongguan and two in Shenzhen, and the general medical outpatient department in the Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong were selected. Secondly, we used the convenience sam-pling method to perform investigation. A PCAT-AE modified Chinese edition was adapted to measure the patients’ primary care experience. A total of 1 712 patients participated in the questionnaire survey, the number of which 1 645 copies were valid. Results: Generally, the general practice core attributes’ total scores from that hospital were higher than those from Guangzhou communities (55. 3 vs. 45. 9, P<0. 05), Dongguan commu-nities (55. 3 vs. 49. 2, P<0. 05) and the Shenzhen communities (55. 3vs. 51. 7, P<0. 05). Conclusion:The primary care implementation was different in accordance with the characteristics of regions, and the general practice core attributes had different characteristics in different models. It could constantly improve the primary care services to each model’s specific circumstances.

Objective:The general practice attributes constitute a basis for the high primary care performance. In this paper, the general practice attributes are measured, their influencing factors are analyzed, the causes of exist-ing problems are explored, and suggestions are straight forwarded to strengthen the general practice function. Meth-ods:In this study, a PCAT-AE modified Chinese edition was adopted. The research was conducted into 8 community health centers and the general outpatient clinic of the University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen Hospital. They were eligi-ble adult patients who could communicate properly and had visited the same general practitioners at least three times. One-to-one interviews were conducted and a total of 1 712 patients participated in the survey, a number of which 1 645 effective samples were considered for analysis. Results: The total general practice attributes score was 49. 0. The first-contact score of 69 . 8 , continuity score being 63 . 1 and the cultural competence score of 51 . 2 were relatively high. The scores for the access (40. 8) and community orientation (31. 0) were relatively low. The general practice attribute scores were influenced by the social demographic and health characteristics, and the health care service uti-lization. Also, the general practice core attributes were positively related to the patient satisfaction (OR>1). Con-clusion:Comparing to the numbers in the developed countries, the general practice attribute scores were still low in China. Therefore, to strengthen the general practice function, works could be done at the individual, organization and system levels.

BACKGROUND:Establishing the animal model of membranous nephropathy is of importance to figure out the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of nephrin and podocin in the model of membrane nephropathy in rats, and to investigate their relationships with the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy.
METHODS:A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomized into model and control groups. Rats in the model group were in premunity by given subcutaneous and multi-point injection of 1 mg cationic bovine serum albumin firstly dissolved in 0.5 mL normal saline and then ful y emulsified with the equal incomplete Freund’s adjuvant for 1 week, and 16 mg/kg cationic bovine serum albumin was injected via vein tails, once every other day for 4 weeks. The same volume of normal saline was injected into the controls. The mRNA expressions of nephrin and podocin in renal tissues were detected using real-time PCR, and biochemical indicators and morphological observation were measured at 2 and 4 weeks after modeling.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) In the model group, the total amount of urine and serum albumin levels were significantly decreased accompanying with overt proteinuria, and the serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly increased al in a time-independent manner compared with the control group (P<0.01), and the difference was significant (P<0.05). (2) The pathological examination showed that rats in the model group had different degrees of renal tubular dilatation, glomerular basement membrane thickening, mesangial cel s and stromal hyperplasia, which was typical of membranous nephritis. (3) Moreover, the mRNA expressions of podocin and nephrin in the model group were lower than those in the control group. (4) In conclusion, the decreased expressions of podocin and nephfin may disturb the integrity of the slit membrane of podocytes giving rise to the damage of glomerular filtration barrier, and proteinuria appears in final.
