The amount of data generated by the human experience in medical cases of classic formulas is large and the research value is high, but how to extract valuable information from these massive data is an important problem of researches on classical formulas. It is concluded that there are many problems in the current study of human experience in classical formulas, such as large amount of data, uneven quality, weak extrapolation and clinical application, which seriously affected the evidence strength of human experience in classical formulas and the contribution to experience accumulation and theoretical support. Therefore, from the structural perspective of the research questions, this paper proposed the research ideas of human experience in medical cases of classic formulas: firstly, according to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cases, based on the PICO model, which refers parti-cipants (P), intervention (I), comparisons (C), and outcomes (O), a TCM medical record evaluation tool in line with the evidence-based concept was constructed to evaluate the quality of medical cases; secondly, constructing a standardized database of human experience in classical formulas and using data mining algorithms to explore the deep relationship hidden in human experience; finally, the clinical value evaluation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the diagnosis and treatment rules of classical formulas to achieve clinical transformation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy, safety and possible mechanisms of celecoxib as an adjunctive treatment for schizophrenia.Methods:90 schizophrenic inpatients at the second affiliated hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from April 2019 to October 2020 were recruited and randomly assigned to a placebo group or the celecoxib adjunctive treatment group using a random number table. In the placebo group, 46 patients (29 males, 17 females; aged 21-34, mean age 27.46±6.50 years) completed a 6-week follow-up. In the celecoxib group, 44 patients (32 males, 12 females; aged 21-39, mean age 30.52±8.69 years) completed a 6-week follow-up. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess psychiatric symptoms in both groups. Changes in PANSS score at the end of the treatment were compared to evaluate the efficacy of celecoxib. Metabolic indicators such as weight, body mass index, waist circumference and plasm glucolipid, as well as cardiovascular indicators like blood pressure, electrocardiogram and routine blood tests, and adverse events were collected for the safety evaluation. Serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were also tested. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between cytokine levels, PANSS score, PANSS reduction rate [(pre-treatment score-post-treatment score)/pre-treatment score×100%], and the safety measurements in the two groups, analyzing the role of inflammation in celecoxib adjunctive therapy.Results:The change of PANSS positive score at the end of the 6th week was significantly higher in the celecoxib adjuvant treatment group than in the placebo group (-8.00±6.12 vs -4.78±5.19, H=-0.55, P=0.009). The weight changes, body mass index, total cholesterol, and triglycerides over 6 weeks were significantly lower in the celecoxib group compared to the placebo group ( F=-7.37, -7.30, 2.56, -2.54; all P<0.05). No serious adverse events were found in celecoxib adjuvant therapy. In the placebo group, baseline TNF-α levels were positively correlated with baseline negative symptoms and PANSS reduction rate ( r=0.260 and 0.330, both P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the 6-week weight ( r=-0.311, P<0.05); baseline IL-4 levels were positively correlated with the 6-week PANSS total score and the 6-week PANSS negative score ( r=0.320 and 0.397, both P<0.05), and negatively correlated with PANSS reduction rate and 6-week blood glucose ( r=-0.316 and -0.331, both P<0.05); Six-week IFN-γ levels were negatively correlated with low-density lipoprotein levels ( r=-0.306, P<0.05). And no such correlation was found in celecoxib adjuvant group. Conclusion:Celecoxib adjunctive therapy can improve positive symptoms of schizophrenia without causing adverse reactions. Inflammatory state is related to schizophrenia symptoms, treatment efficacy and metabolic abnormalities.
