Objective To investigate the expression levels of LINC02009 and LOC107984895 in peripheral lymphocytes of patients with atrial fibrillation and their clinical significance.Methods A total of 75 hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation(50 with persistent atrial fibrillation and 25 with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation)from Kunming First People's Hospital between January 2023 and December 2023 were selected as study subjects,along with 50 normal control patients.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression levels of LINC02009 and LOC107984895 in peripheral blood leukocytes of patients with atrial fibrillation.Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the relationship between expression levels and risk factors for atrial fibrillation,and ROC curves were used to predict the diagnostic cut-off values for LINC02009 and LOC107984895 in diagnosing atrial fibrillation.Results There were statistically significant differences in baseline diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease,biochemical indicators such as Cr and BNP,and myocardial remodeling indicators such as LAd and LVEF between the AF(paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and persistent atrial fibrillation)group and the Normal group(P＜0.05).The expression levels of LINC02009 and LOC 107984895 in the plasma of the atrial fibrillation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05)and were negatively correlated with LVEF(P＜0.05).The areas under the curve(AUC)of LINC02009 and LOC 107984895 in predicting atrial fibrillation were 0.967(95％CI:0.938～0.995)and 0.900(95％CI:0.838～0.963),respectively.The optimal cut-off values were 1.985 and 0.915,with sensitivities of 88％and 76％,respectively,and specificities of 94％and 90％,respectively.Conclusion LINC02009 and LOC 107984895 are independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation and have certain predictive value for the occurrence of atrial fibrillation.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of Chinese medicine syndromes and the possible metabolic substance basis of spontaneously hypertensive rat(SHR).Methods 10-week-old SPF SHR and WKY of the same strain were divided into SHR group and WKY group with 8 rats in each group.The general state,temperament,peripheral vascular filling,tongue characteristics,diet,water intake,urine and feces volume and characteristics,blood pressure,heart rate,respiratory rate,pain threshold,and open field behavior of SHR rats were observed and tested comprehensively to identify the possible syndrome types of Chinese medicine.At the same time,liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze non-targeted serum metabolites to preliminarily reveal the material basis of blood pressure elevation and Chinese medicine syndrome manifestations.Results Compared with WKY group,the scores of dark yellow hair color,irritable degree and peripheral capillary filling were higher in SHR group(P＜0.0001).Red tongue color,dry tongue,little body fluid;24 h diet and water intake,urine volume and fecal volume were less(P＜0.05),fecal water content was lower(P＜0.001);systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)and respiratory rate(RR)were significantly higher(P＜0.05);Lower pain threshold(P＜0.0001);The open field experiment shows that the moving distance and residence time of the edge are longer(P＜0.001).Serum non-targeted metabolomics result showed that,compared with WKY group,the SHR group had 114 metabolites with significant differences(P＜0.05).These differential metabolites were mainly lipids and lipid-like molecules(40.35％),organic acids and derivatives(22.8％),and organoheterocyclic compounds(15.79％).A total of 25 metabolic pathways were identified by KEGG enrichment analysis.Further differential abundance analysis showed that 16 pathways were activated,only 4 pathways were inhibited,and 5 pathways were not significantly changed.The glutamatergic synapse and GABAergic synapse were activated,while the serotonergic synapse was inhibited.Conclusions The symptoms of SHR include impatience and irritability,peripheral vascular dilation and collateral circulation formation,bulbar conjunctival congestive swelling,red tongue coloration,a dry tongue,constipation,red-yellow urine of low volume,and a rapid heart rate and high respiratory rate.All these suggest that SHR is a syndrome of hypertension with hyperactivity of liver-yang.The material basis of SHR is not only related to lipid,amino acid,and carbohydrate metabolism disorders,but also may be related to metabolic disorders of glutaminergic,GABAergic,and serotonergic neural pathways.

Now researches of ECG data compression mainly focus on compressing the ECG data of low sampling rate. A BW-based high sampling rate ECG data lossless compression algorithm is proposed in this paper. We apply difference operation to the original ECG data first and take part of the 16-bit binary differential value as 8-bit binary. Then the differential results are coded with the move-to-front coding method in order to make the same characters centralizing in a certain area. Last, we gain a high compression ratio by using the arithmetic coding method further. Our experimental results indicate that this is an efficient lossless compression method suitable for body surface ECG data as well as for heart ECG data. The average compression ratios come up to 3.547 and 3.608, respectively. By comparison with current ECG compression algorithms, our algorithm has gained much improvement in terms of the compression ratio, especially when applied to the high sampling rate ECG data.
