This paper put forward the construction of CAG data science system by elaborating the connotation of data science and its application value in TCM， and discussed the path to build CAG data science system， namely through "data acquisition-knowledge expression-knowledge reasoning" to establish CAG database， knowledge base and develop diagnosis platform differentiating diseases and syndromes. Besides， this paper analyzed the prospects of CAG data science in improving data governance ability and knowledge discovery efficiency， deepening the level of knowledge sharing， promoting interdisciplinary integration， and strengthening the integration process of industry， academia and research.

Objective:The study retrospectively analyzed the etiology, clinical manifestations, emergency treatment and etiological treatment of a large sample of cases with hypercalcemic crisis.Methods:The clincial data of patients with hypercalcaemia cirisis who were administered in First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2009 to July 2022 were analyzed, inculding the general data, clinical manifestations, etiology, photographic examination, emergency treatment, etiological treatment, serological examination before and after treatment, pathological immunohistochemical findings and prognosis.Results:A total of 143 hypercalcaemia crisis patients(84 males and 59 females) with a mean age of 53.51±16.60 were enrolled. The most common disease was hyperparathyroidism(62/143), followed by solid malignancy(57/143) and multiple myeloma(12/143). Patients presented with digestive system symptoms at 76.91%, followed by neurological symptoms at 63.60%, urinary system symptoms at 58.76%, musculoskeletal symptoms at 55.23%, and cardiovascular system symptoms at 32.91%. After emergency calcium-lowering treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemic crisis in 143 patients was 100%(143/143), and after etiological treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemia was 85.31%(122/143).Conclusion:Early identification, emergency treatment and etiology treatment of hypercalcaemia crisis are essential. Effective treament with comprehensive calcium reduction can quickly relieve clinical symptoms and create opportunities for treatment for the cause. Targeted etiological interventions can lead to the correction or long-term remission of hypercalcemia.

The dried rattan stem of the Fibraurea Recisa Pierre plant contains the active ingredient known as fibrauretine (FN). Although it greatly affects Alzheimer's disease (AD), the mechanism of their effects still remains unclear. Proteomics and transcriptomics analysis methods were used in this study to determine the mechanism of FN in the treatment of AD. AD model is used through bilateral hippocampal injection of Aβ1-40. After successful modeling, FN was given for 30 days. The results showed that FN could improve the cognitive dysfunction of AD model rats, reduce the expression of Aβ and P-Tau, increase the content of acetylcholine and reduce the activity of acetylcholinesterase. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enriched differentially expressed genes and proteins are involved in signaling pathways including metabolic pathway, AD, pathway in cancer, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, and cAMP signaling pathway. Transcriptomics and proteomics sequencing resulted in 19 differentially expressed genes and proteins. Finally, in contrast to the model group, after FN treatment, the protein expressions and genes associated with the PI3K-AKT pathway were significantly improved in RT-qPCR and Western blot and assays. This is consistent with the findings of transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. Our study found that, FN may improve some symptoms of AD model rats through PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of the association between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk in a community population.Method:This was a prospective cohort study. From December 2011 to April 2012, the first investigation was conducted among subjects with more than 40-year old who were from Shijingshan district and Pingguoyuan community in Beijing. The second investigation was conducted from April to October 2015. All the subjects were divided into three groups according to the tertile of the TyG index at baseline. The multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model was established to explore the correlation between the TyG index and nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk and the Kaplan-Meier survival curve of the TyG index group was drawn. Subgroup analyses were performed according to age, gender, body mass index, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, and hyperlipidemia to determine the correlation characteristics between the TyG index and nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease among subgroups.Results:A total of 9 577 subjects were finally included to analyze. The mean follow-up time of this study was (34.14±3.84) months. During the follow-up, 363 subjects (3.8%) occurred nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease. The multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that the hazard ratio ( HR) of nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease in the high TyG index group was 1.54 (95% CI 1.19-1.98), 1.60 (95% CI 1.23-2.10), and 1.57 (95% CI 1.20-2.05) in the three models, compared with the low TyG index group. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease increased from the low-TyG index group to the high-TyG index group ( P=0.015). In the six subgroups analysis, only gender was shown to have a significant interaction effect with the TyG index and nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk. In the female population, the risk of nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease is significantly increased with the increase in the TyG index level ( P<0.001). Conclusions:A high TyG index is independently related to the increased risk of nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease in the Beijing community population. Gender has a significant interaction with the TyG index and nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk. Therefore, the TyG index may be a useful marker to predict the nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk of a community population.

The risk of graft loss is relatively high in early stages after pancreatic transplantation so that some patients are placed back on a waiting list for pancreatic transplantation. This review summarized the experiences of two recipients of pancreatic re-transplantation after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Both patients could successfully discontinue insulin dosing, blood sugar levels were maintained at a normal level and function of kidney graft improved obviously as compared to pre-transplant levels.

Blast injury of the chest injury is the most common wound in modern war trauma and terrorist attacks, and is also the most fatal type of whole body explosion injury. Most patients with severe blast injury of the chest die in the early stage before hospitalization or during transportation, so first aid is critically important. At present, there exist widespread problems such as non-standard treatment and large difference in curative effect, while there lacks clinical treatment standards for blast injury of the chest. According to the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement, the Trauma Society of Chinese Medical Association has formulated the guidance of classification, pre-hospital first aid, in-hospital treatment and major injury management strategies for blast injury of the chest, aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To analyzed clinical characteristics of pituitary growth hormone(GH) adenomas patients with different responses to oral glucose inhibitory GH test.Methods:The clinical data of 50 patients with pituitary GH adenomas newly diagnosed with complete test data and case data in the Department of Endocrinology of Chinese PLA General Hospital was retrospectively analyzed from 2016 to 2021. The cases were divided into two groups according to the cutoff point of GH elevating to 50% of basaline during oral glucose test: abnormal elevation group(A group, n=16) and non-elevation group(B group, n=34). The clinical features, biochemistry, iconography, and immunohistochemistry of the two groups were analyzed. Results:The serum total cholesterol(TC)[(3.9±0.8) vs (4.6±0.9)mmol/L], 120 minutes insulin after glucose loading [11.2(4.4, 25.0) vs 92.0(10.8, 311.8)mU/L], long [1.0(0.4, 2.1) vs 1.5(0.5, 7.3) cm] and short[0.6(0.3, 1.3) vs 1.0(0.5, 5.8)cm] diameters of adenomas in A group were less than those in B group(all P<0.05) while insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ) level was higher [(908.2±233.7) vs (743.1±273.1) ng/mL, P<0.05]. There were no significant differences in sex, age, disease course, clinical features, random GH, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR), pituitary adenoma site, and invasive properties between the two groups. The immunohistochemical positive rates of ACTH(33% vs 0%) and prolactin(100% vs 28.6%)in A group were higher than those in B group( P<0.05). Conclusion:Pituitary GH adenomas patients with a paradoxical GH response pattern display lower serum TC and 120 minutes insulin levels as well as higher IGF-Ⅰ concentration and proportion of pituitary microadenomas. " Pure" growth hormone tumors may represent entities of a particular class of diseases in acromegaly.

Objective:To provide insight into the diagnosis for clinicians, the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment history of 3 patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) and testicular adrenal rest tumors (TART) were analyzed.Methods:The clinical, laboratory and imaging data of 3 male patients with 21-OHD and TART, confirmed with CYP21 gene sequencing, from May 2010 to May 2021 in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The treatment strategy and clinical outcome were followed up.Results:All the 3 patients were first diagnosed with bilateral adrenal mass at the age of 27-42 years old. They were 145-162 cm tall. The levels of progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) of the 3 patients were relatively high, and that of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) of the 3 patients were low. Testosterone level of 1 patient was significantly elevated, and that of the other 2 patients was below the lower limit of normal range. Testicular ultrasound showed heterogeneous hyperechoic masses in both testes. CT of the adrenal glands showed bilateral adrenal enlargement with mass. All 3 patients were treated with dexamethasone. After 4-96 months of follow-up, 17-hydroxyprogesterone level was kept above the median normal level. One of the patients got married and had a baby after treatment. The sizes of adrenal hyperplasia and testicular masses reduced to various degrees with the change of the testicular masses being proportional to that of adrenal hyperplasia.Conclusions:Patients with 21-OHD are prone to have TART, leading to the impaired testicular function. Early glucocorticold therapy is beneficial to the reduction of TART and restoration of testicular function.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1DM) in China.Methods:Clinical data of 279 cases related to FT1DM in Chinese Database from January 2005 to December 2018 were collected, and other 20 patients from our hospital were included in the present study.Results:(1) There has been a progressive increasing in the number of reported cases every year in China, and the number in the southern region were significantly more than that in the northern region. (2) The median age of the onset of FT1DM patients in China was 32.5 years old, without significant gender difference. Moreover, 36.5% (54/148) of the female patients caught the disease during their prenatal period, most of them were onset in the second or third trimesters of pregnancy and 2 weeks after delivery (37/40), and the prognosis of the fetus was extremely poor. (3) Compared with new-onset type 1 diabetes, FT1DM patients were younger, and with higher blood glucose [(39.7±15.3) vs (21.2 ± 9.9) mmol/L], higher serum creatinine [(188.4±115.9) vs (51.8 ±23.1) μmol/L], and higher amylase levels [245.5 (26.0-5 137.0) vs 54.7 (14.0-404.9) U/L]. FT1DM patients were with more severe acidosis, and lower HbA 1C level [(6.6 ±0.8)% vs (12.9 ± 2.5)%, P<0.01]. (4) FT1DM patients may combine with multiple organ dysfunction or severe metabolic disorders, electrolyte disorders, as well as liver and kidney dysfunctions, and elevation of amylase and muscle enzymes. Conclusion:FT1DM are with some clinical characteristics different from classic new-onset type 1 diabetes, including adult-onset, frequent in the southern China. Pregnancy may be a predisposing factor for female patients. Significant metabolic disorders and multiple organ involvements are common in the patients with FT1DM.

Background: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is the most common thyroid dysfunction, and its relationship with blood pressure (BP) has been controversial. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between SCH and newly-diagnosed hypertension. Methods: Based on data from the Thyroid disease, Iodine nutrition and Diabetes Epidemiology (TIDE) study, 49,433 euthyroid individuals and 7,719 SCH patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled. Patients with a history of hypertension or thyroid disease were excluded. SCH was determined by manufacturer reference range. Overall hypertension and stage 1 and 2 hypertension were diagnosed according to the guidelines issued by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association in 2017. Results: The prevalence of overall hypertension (48.7%), including stage 1 (28.9%) and 2 (19.8%) hypertension, increased significantly in SCH patients compared with euthyroid subjects. With elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level, the hypertension prevalence also increased significantly from the euthyroid to different SCH subgroups, which was more profound in females or subjects aged <65 years. The age- and sex-specific regression analysis further demonstrated the same trends in the general population and in the 1:1 propensity matched population. Similarly, several BP components (i.e., systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial BP) were positively associated with TSH elevation, and regression analysis also confirmed that all BP components were closely related with SCH in female subjects aged <65 years. Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension increases for patients with SCH. SCH tends to be associated with hypertension and BP components in females younger than 65 years.
