Objective:To develop an integrated health management system based on wearable devices for conducting health management to discharged patients,so as to improve the lifestyle and medication compliance of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,and control risk factors of disease,and maintain patients'safety.Methods:The wearable devices,mobile terminals,and hospital's medical information platform were systematically integrated to develop an integrated health management system.A total of 75 patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases(coronary heart disease and hypertension)who admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of The 940th Hospital of People's Liberation Army Joint Service Support Force during March 1 and April 1,2024 were selected,and they were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group using the random number table method,with 38 cases in the intervention group and 37 cases in the control group.During the 6 months of intervention observation period after discharge,patients in the intervention group used the integrated health management system for self-health management,while the patients of control group were managed with the conventional mode.The rate of medication compliance,changes of health behaviors,and changes of measurement data of body between the two groups were compared after the intervention.Results:The smoking rate of patients in the intervention group was 18.42%(7/38),which was lower than 43.24%(16/37)of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=3.94,P<0.05).The average rate of medication compliance of patients in the intervention group was(89.00±2.39)%,which was higher than(84.8±2.37)%of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=2.15,P<0.05).The increase in diastolic blood pressure of patients in the intervention group was(1.76±2.06)mmHg,which was lower than(3.05±1.94)mmHg of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=2.49,P<0.05).Conclusion:The integrated health management system based on wearable devices is effective for the self-management of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,and it has a good effect in controlling the level of blood pressure,improving behavioral habits,and enhancing medication compliance of patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of anatomical resection (AR) in the early stages of treating solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) combined with liver cirrhosis with a diameter of ≤5 cm in comparison to different surgical methods of preferential hepatic parenchymal preservation (non-anatomical liver resection, NAR).Methods:The clinical data of 1 390 cases with solitary HCC combined with liver cirrhosis at an early stage who underwent liver resection at Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University and six other medical centers from September 2013 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the AR group (486 cases) and the NAR group (904 cases) and the wide surgical margin (WSM) group (745 cases) and the narrow surgical margin (NSM) group (645 cases) according to whether they received AR and the width of the surgical margin (1 cm). The basic information of the patients, preoperative evaluation index data, and postoperative follow-up (follow-up every 3 months) were collected. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curve.The log-rank test was used to compare the difference in survival between the two groups. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to reduce intergroup bias.Results:The overall survival (OS) rates for all patients at 1, 3, and 5 years were 95.5%, 79.9%, and 63.5%, respectively. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 81.5%, 59.0%, and 43.7%, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in RFS rate between the AR group and the NAR group prior to PSM, but no statistically significant difference in OS rate (RFS rate: 47.0% vs. 41.9%, P<0.05; OS rate: 64.4% vs. 62.9%, P>0.05). The postoperative RFS rate and OS rate were significantly superior in the WSM group than those of the NSM group (RFS rate: 47.8% vs. 37.2%, P<0.001; OS rate: 69.0% vs. 57.3%, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in OS rate and RFS rate between the AR group and the NAR group following PSM (RFS: 46.3% vs. 45.1%, P>0.05; OS rate: 64.0% vs. 64.3%, P>0.05).The 5-year OS and RFS rates in the WSM group were 66.8% and 60.2%, respectively. The 5-year OS and RFS rates for the NSM group were 48.7% and 41.4%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis indicated that serum albumin, tumor diameter, microvascular invasion, and surgical margin were independent prognostic factors affecting OS and RFS. The Child-Pugh grade and satellite lesions were independent prognostic factors affecting OS. Conclusion:Anatomical liver resection is not an independent risk factor for prognosis, but the state of the resection margin determines the prognosis of patients with solitary HCC combined with cirrhosis. Therefore, hepatic resection margins should be prioritized in such patients.

In recent years, the artificial intelligence machine learning and deep learning technology have made leap progress. Using clinical decision support system for auxiliary diagnosis and treatment is the inevitable developing trend of wisdom medical. Clinicians tend to ignore the interpretability of models while pursuing its high accuracy, which leads to the lack of trust of users and hamper the application of clinical decision support system. From the perspective of explainable artificial intelligence, the authors make some preliminary exploration on the construction of clinical decision support system in the field of liver disease. While pursuing high accuracy of the model, the data governance techniques, intrinsic interpretability models, post-hoc visualization of complex models, design of human-computer interactions, providing knowledge map based on clinical guidelines and data sources are used to endow the system with interpretability.
