OBJECTIVE To construct a prediction model of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in elderly patients with hyperten-sion based on the bi-dimensional features of Chinese and western medicine with the help of machine learning(ML).METHODS The clinical data of 502 patients over 60 years old with essential hypertension treated in hospital from January 2020 to March 2023 were collected and analyzed,randomly divided into training set and verification set according to a ratio of 7∶3,and divided into cognitive impairment group(n=104)and cognitive normal group(n=398).LASSO regression analysis was used to reduce the dimension of clin-ical indicator data and screen out the core predictors.Six ML algorithms,logistic regression,XGBoost,AdaBoost,SVM,GNB,and MLP were used to construct the models,and ROC curves were plotted to compare the AUC,accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,and F1 scores of the 6 models.SHAP models were adopted to reveal the characteristic importance of predictors.RESULTS Waist-hip ratio,qi depression,age,total cholesterol,phlegm-dampness,damp-heat,qi deficiency and fasting blood glucose were the core predictors of early MCI in elderly hypertensive patients.The AUC,accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,and F1 scores of the XGBoost model were 0.938,0.885,0.846,0.896,and 0.755 respectively,which were superior to those of other algorithmic models.CONCLUSION The XGBoost model constructed on the basis of waist-to-hip ratio,qi depression,age,total cholesterol,phlegm-dampness,damp-heat,qi deficiency and fasting blood glucose has the best prediction performance,which can provide a reference basis for early identifi-cation of MCI risk and diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making in the clinical elderly hypertensive population.

Objective Through establishing a rat model of atrial fibrillation,to study myocardial angiotensin type Ⅰ (AT1R) and type Ⅱ receptor (AT2R) mRNA expression levels in of the state atrial fibrillation and Artemisia annua extract on its expression.Methods Rat model of atrial fibrillation was established,Artemisia annua extract was used for intervention and captopril was adopted as controls.AT1R,AT2R mRNA and protein expression were observed by PCR and Western-blot technology.Results Compared with the control group (0.36±0.05),myocardial AT1R mRNA expression was significantly increased in the model group (0.84±0.04) (P＜0.05).BothArtemisia annua (0.56±0.03) and captopril (0.53±0.04) could significantly reduce the myocardial AT1R mRNA expression in the atrial fibrillation rats (P＜0.05).Captopril showed obvious AT1R mRNA reduction trend,but there was statistical significance compared with Artemisinic extract (P＞0.05).Artemisinic extract showed no impact on AT2R mRNA expression.Conclusion AT1R was closely related to the incidence of atrial fibrillation.AT1R expression was significantly increased in atrial fibrillation rat.The artemisinic extract can be effectively reduced fibrillation myocardial AT1R expression,which may link with its artemisinic antiarrhythmic mechanism.
