ObjectiveExploring the formula rules of commonly used traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs) for epidemic treatment from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Qing dynasty through data mining, providing reference for the prevention and control of contemporary epidemics. MethodsThe articles on epidemic treatment in the electronic database of Chinese Medical Code V5.0 were systematically searched, and the contents such as source, dynasty, author, diagnosis, formula name, therapeutic method and efficacy, and composition of medicines from each article that met the inclusion criteria were extracted. Then, an Excel standardized database was established, and Python programs were used for data mining to summarize the frequency of commonly used medicines and perform hierarchical cluster analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and association rule analysis. ResultsA total of 1 595 formulas were included, involving 558 TCMs. The efficacy of these medicines could be classified into two categories, namely, expeling pathogenic factors and reinforcing healthy Qi. According to the frequency deconstruction analysis, high-frequency medicines were mainly detoxification, Fu-organ dredging, aromatization and promoting blood circulation, followed by the medicines with the effect of treating the lungs, such as clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm, clearing heat and purging the lungs, relieving cough and asthma, and purging the lungs and relieving asthma. And the proportions of acrid-warm herbs and acrid-cold herbs varied in different periods. Hierarchical clustering and correlation analysis both suggested TCMs for expeling pathogenic factors and reinforcing healthy Qi often formed stable combinations with high association degrees. Association rule analysis showed that the core acrid-warm herb was mainly Ephedrae Herba, and the core acrid-cold herb was mainly Forsythiae Fructus, resulting in the core formulas of Maxing Shigantang and Yinqiaosan. ConclusionThroughout history, the prevention and control of epidemics have been based on the principle of "preserving healthy Qi and avoiding toxic Qi", focusing on the treatment of the causes and characteristics of epidemics through detoxification, Fu-organ dredging, and aromatization, emphasizing the use of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and other herbs to dredge Fu-organ, eliminate toxins and pathogens, and playing the role of actively intervene with symptomatic medication. And based on the external manifestations of the body's struggle between evil and righteousness, diagnose and treatment according to syndrome differentiation was performed.

Objective:To develop a Cognitive Assessment Scale for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation and conduct reliability and validity tests in community-dwelling patients with SCI.Methods:Based on expectation value theory, social cognition theory, and goal setting theory, a Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation was developed through literature review, group discussions, patient trials, and expert verification. From February to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 231 community-dwelling patients with SCI as research subjects, including 67 community-dwelling patients with SCI who participated in rehabilitation training at Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center and 164 patients with SCI in the "Hope Home" WeChat group of Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center. Research subjects were surveyed using the Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version), 9-item depression scale of Patient Health Questionnaire, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, EuroQol 5 Dimension-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), General Self-Efficacy Scale, and general information questionnaire. SPSS 16.0 software and Amos 21.0 software were used for correlation analysis and reliability and validity testing.Results:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version) included two primary dimensions, eight secondary dimensions, and 24 items. The trial showed good results among patients with SCI and their caregivers, and experts generally agreed. Exploratory factor analysis found that the scale were divided into recognition dimension and understanding dimension. Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.98, the correlation coefficient between each item and its corresponding dimension was 0.75 to 0.88, and our results indicated good test-retest reliability. Correlation analysis showed that patient anxiety and depression scores were negatively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05), and self-efficacy, quality of life were positively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation is scientific and feasible, with good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the rehabilitation cognition of community-dwelling patients with SCI.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between three-dimensional histogram analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)and Gleason score(GS)in prostate cancer(Pca)from two hospital, and its diagnostic efficacy for discriminating low-grade from high-grade Pca.Methods:A total of 102 pathologically confirmed Pca patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital(TCM Hospital)Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2017 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.The quantitative parameters of Pca, including transport constant(K trans), rate constant(K ep), percent volume of the extravascular extracellular space(V e)and fraction of the Intraplasmic contrast volume(V p), were obtained by manually layer by layer delineating of interested regions of all lesions on the original DCE-MRI imaging.Then the three-dimensional histogram analysis of the above parameters were performed to obtain the minimum, maximum, median, mean, area, 10 thpercentile, 25 thpercentile, 75 thpercentile and 90 thpercentile.The correlations between quantitative parameters and GS, and diagnostic efficiencies were analyzed. Results:102 Pca patients were divided into low-grade prostate cancer group(GS≤3+ 4)(n=44)and high-grade Pca group(GS≥4+ 3)(n=58). There were no statistically significant differences in age and location of lesions between the two groups( P>0.05), but there were statistically significant differences in Gleason score, PSA level and lesion diameter between the two groups( U=0.000, 730.000, 711.000, all P<0.05). The median, mean, 10 thpercentile, 25 thpercentile, 75 thpercentile, 90 thpercentile derived from K trans, and K ep(median, mean, 10%, 25%, 75%, 90%)together with maximum of K transand mean for V e were positively correlated with GS( r=0.405 to 0.583, P<0.05), in which mean of K transhad the highest positive correlation( r=0.583, P=0.000). The histogram parameters derived from V pwere negatively correlated with GS( r=-0.301 to 0.341, P<0.05). The area under ROC of 75th percentile derived from K transwas the highest(0.832). When the cut-off value of 75 thpercentile derived from K transwas ≥0.680/min, its Youden index, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.594, 0.776, 0.818, respectively. Conclusions:The three-dimensional histogram of DCE-MRI quantitative parameters has correlation with GS in Pca patients, can be used to discriminate low-grade from high-grade Pca.

Objective:
To explore latent classes of college students aggressive behavior and its correlations with family care and the meaning of life among college students.
Methods:
A cross sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 5 094 students from three universities in Xinxiang City in December 2021, using Aggression Questionnaire (AQ), Family APGAR Index (APGAR), and the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ).
Results:
Aggressive behavior of college students was classifed into three potential categories:low aggressive behavior group (26.4%), moderate aggressive behavior group (48.5%), and high aggressive behavior group(25.1%). There were significant differences in latent classes of aggressive behavior among college students by gender, physical flexibility, exercise frequency, and sleep status ( χ 2=63.95, 169.86, 125.76, 325.24, P <0.01). There were significant differences in the sense of life meaning and the degree of family care among the 3 potential categories of aggressive behavior ( F=113.47, 231.82, P <0.01). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the sense of meaning of life ( OR =0.96, 95% CI =0.96-0.97) and family care ( OR =0.83, 95% CI =0.81-0.84) were significantly associated with three classes of aggressive behavior ( P <0.01).
Conclusion
Aggressive behavior among college students is associated with gender, exercise frequency, sleep status, meaning of life, family care, and physical flexibility. School, family and society should actively pay attention to students psychological characteristics and to provide corresponding support for aggressive behavior prevention and intervention.

Objective:To assess the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging in the evaluation of pH changes in infarct core (IC) and ischemic penumbra (IP) in subacute cerebral infarction.Methods:The data of twenty-three subacute cerebral infarction patients with unilateral steno-occlusive disease of the middle cerebral artery (subacute infarction group) from April to November 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were prospectively analyzed. Fifteen healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study as the control group. All subjects underwent conventional MRI, DWI, 3D-pseudo continuous arterial spin labeling (3D-pCASL) and APTw sequences. Based on DWI images, relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and APTw images to determine the region of IC, blood flow penumbra [cerebral blood flow(CBF)-DWI mismatch area, IP CBF] and metabolic penumbra (APTw-DWI mismatched area, IP APT). 3D ROIs were used to semi-automatically measure the APTw signals and the volume of IC and IP CBF of the patients in subacute infarction group. The comparison of APTw signals between the infarct side and the contralateral side in the subacute infarction group, the comparison of bilateral APTw signals in the control group, and the comparison of APTw signals in the IC and IP CBF regions were performed by paired-sample t test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The paired-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the APTw signals between the two groups. The Friedman test was applied to compare the difference of volumes among IP CBF1.5, IP CBF2.5 and IP APT . Results:There was no significant difference of the APTw signals among the IC, the contralateral side in the subacute infarction group and the control group ( P>0.05). The APTw signals of IP CBF and IC of the infarction group were statistically different ( P<0.05). Compared with the contralateral side of IP CBF1.5 (3.7±1.7, -1.84±1.48, 5.57±2.75), the APTwmax (3.07±1.41, t=-3.012, P=0.006), APTw min [-1.30 (-1.74, -0.57), Z=-2.099, P=0.036], and APTwmax-min(4.51±2.58, t=-3.273, P=0.003) signals in the IP CBF1.5 were decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with the contralateral side of IP CBF2.5 [-1.53 (-2.80, -0.91), 5.31±2.61], the APTw min [-1.08 (-1.60, -0.49), Z=-2.616, P=0.009] and APTwmax-min (4.41±2.72, t=-3.228, P=0.004) signals in the IP CBF2.5 were decreased. The volumes of IP CBF1.5 [107.51(50.08, 138.61)mm 3], IP APT [99.00 (53.27, 121.335) mm 3] and IP CBF2.5 [89.91 (51.53, 139.87) mm 3] were successively reduced (χ2=7.913, P=0.019), and the volume of IP CBF2.5 was significantly smaller than that of IP CBF1.5 ( P=0.037). Conclusion:The acid-base metabolism in the IC of subacute cerebral infarction is not obvious, but the blood flow penumbra has local acid-base metabolism imbalance, and the range of metabolic penumbra coincides with the blood flow penumbra.

Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(10):1456-1460
Objective: To investigate the consistency between FLAIR vascular hyperintensity (FVH) and arterial transit artifact (ATA) on three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) imaging in patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis or occlusion. Methods: Forty-two patients with MCA stenosis or occlusion underwent multimodal MR scanning included T2 FLAIR and 3D-ASL imaging. The incidence of FVH on T2 FLAIR and ATA on 3D-ASL in post labeling delay (PLD)=1.5 s and PLD=2.5 s was counted, and the differences of FVH and ATA were compared. The correlation of FVH, ATA with degree of vascular stenosis and clinical data were analyzed. Results: There was no statistical difference of incidence between FVH and ATA in patients with unilateral MCA stenosis or occlusion when PLD=1.5 s and PLD= 2.5 s, respectively (χ2=3.96, 3.80, P=0.77, 0.30). The incidence of FVH (r=0.30, P<0.05) and ATA (PLD=1.5 s: r=0.35, P<0.05; PLD=2.5 s: r=0.41, P<0.05) positively correlated with the degree of vascular stenosis. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age, systolic blood pressure and high density lipoprotein had negative impact on FVH and ATA. Conclusion: FVH has consistency with ATA in patients with unilateral MCA stenosis or occlusion, both of them can be used as indicators to observe collateral circulation.
