ObjectiveTo achieve high-dimensional prediction of class imbalanced of adverse drug reaction(ADR) of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and to classify and identify risk factors affecting the occurrence of ADR based on the post-marketing safety data of TCM monitored centrally in real world hospitals. MethodThe ensemble clustering resampling combined with regularized Group Lasso regression was used to perform high-dimensional balancing of ADR class-imbalanced data, and then to integrate the balanced datasets to achieve ADR prediction and the risk factor identification by category. ResultA practical example study of the proposed method on a monitoring data of TCM injection performed that the accuracy of the ADR prediction, the prediction sensitivity, the prediction specificity and the area under receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC) were all above 0.8 on the test set. Meanwhile, 40 risk factors affecting the occurrence of ADR were screened out from total 600 high-dimensional variables. And the effect of risk factors on the occurrence of ADR was identified by classification weighting. The important risk factors were classified as follows:past history, medication information, name of combined drugs, disease status, number of combined drugs and personal data. ConclusionIn the real world data of rare ADR with a large amount of clinical variables, this paper realized accurate ADR prediction on high-dimensional and class imbalanced condition, and classified and identified the key risk factors and their clinical significance of categories, so as to provide risk early warning for clinical rational drug use and combined drug use, as well as scientific basis for reevaluation of safety of post-marketing TCM.

Obesity can not only lead to various metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, it is also closely related to the occurrence and development of heart failure. Heart transplantation is the ultimate treatment for patients with heart failure. However, heart failure patients with obesity are usually excluded from the list of heart transplants. That is to say, obesity is considered a contraindication for heart transplantation. The traditional weight loss methods, including lifestyle interventions and medications, can not effectively alleviate obesity and its comorbidities because of their limited effect and time-consuming. In addition, weight-loss drugs cannot be used in heart transplantation because they can affect the absorption of immunosuppressive drugs. At present, metabolic surgery has become the most effective method for the treatment of obesity and its comorbidities, and is now gradually applied in the field of heart transplantation most of the heart failure patients with obesity meet the standards of heart transplantation after metabolic surgery, greatly increasing the transplantation rate as well as obesity, obesity-related metabolic diseases, and cardiac function were significantly improved, even some patients with heart failure no longer need heart transplantation after their cardiac function has been significantly improved. However, the application of metabolic surgery in the field of heart transplantation has not yet reached a consensus, and only a few reviews on this topic have been published. In this article, the application status and prospects of metabolic surgery in the field of heart transplantation are reviewed so as to provided reference for clinical practice.

Objective In observational studies or non-randomized design,the researchers' ability to make causal inferences from data was hampered by confounding factors.This study used this method to analyze a group of observational medical data in order to instruct relevant medical personnel to carry out their own causal inference studies.Methods At present,the four main types of propensity scoring methods:matching,stratification,inverse probability weighting and covariate adjustment have been widely used in the study of causal inference.Propensity score method can theoretically eliminate the bias of the observable confounding factors,so that the treatments variables are close to the result of random assignment design,thus,it is estimated that the treatment factor has a causal effect on the outcome.Results Considering the advantages of the inverse probability weighting method over other methods,this paper summarizes the applicable conditions for the estimate of causal effect,particularly illustrates the use of a modern nonparametric statistical technology--Generalized Boosted Models (GBM) and its advantages and disadvantages.Conclusion When there is a lot of different types of confounding factors,and uncertain functional forms for their associations with treatment selection in linear,non-linear or interaction effect,and other issues,GBM propensity score weighting method can overcome the obstacles in the process of accurately estimating propensity score.
