Machine Learning Models for Early Prediction of Vascular Cognitive Impairment / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To explore the predictive performance of machine learning model based on vascular risk factors in early prediction of vascular cognitive impairment. Methods:From April to September, 2020, 70 subjects were enrolled and collected information of the demographics and vascular risk factors. They were assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and then divided into normal group, vascular mild cognitive impairment (VaMCI) group and dementia group. The differences of vascular risk factors among the three groups were detected with one-way ANOVA, and the significant factors were selected to establish predictive models with support vector machine (SVM) and extreme learning machine (ELM). The predictive performance of two models was compared with Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve. Results:There were 32 cases in the normal group, 23 in VaMCI group and 15 in dementia group. Systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and blood uric acid were significantly different among the three groups (F > 3.318, P < 0.05). The area under curve was the most (0.911) in SVM model predicting for VaMCI (P < 0.01), and the predictive efficacy was better for SVM model. Conclusion:SVM predictive model based on vascular risk factors may be more effective for predicting VaMCI.

Association between Hp infection and insulin resistance in vascular dementia patients / 中华老年心脑血管病杂志

Objective To study the association of Hp infection and insulin resistance (IR) with vascular dementia (VaD).Methods Eighty-six elderly VaD patients admitted to our hospital from April 2015 to April 2016 served as a VaD group and 52 healthy subjects undergoing physical examination served as a control group in this study.The patients in VaD group were further divided into Hp-positive group (n =50) and Hp-negative group (n =36).Their fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin (FINS) levels were measured with positive C13 urea breath test as the diagnostic index of Hp infection.HOMA-IR=FINS× FBG/22.5 was calculated according to the self balance model analysis.Results The positive Hp rate,serum FBG and FINS levels,and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in VaD group than in control group (58.14％ vs 28.58％,x2=10.273,P=0.002;5.53±0.60 mmol/L vs 5.19±0.38 mmol/L,P=0.0004;10.29±4.95 μIU/L vs 8.77±4.02 μIU/L,P=0.0317;2.57±1.34 vs 2.06±0.96,P=0.0179).The serum FBG and FINS levels and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in Hp-positive group than in Hp-negative group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Hp infection and IR are closely associated with VaD,and can thus lead to the occurrence or progression of VaD by inducing or aggravating IR.

Relationship between Myofibril Fragmentation Index and Postmortem Interval / 法医学杂志

Objective To study the relationship between myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) of human skeletal muscle and postmortem interval (PMI). Methods The protein concentrations of human right bi-ceps brachii muscle and right quadriceps femoris muscle were obtained at different PMI, and detected at room temperature by biuret method. The MFI of skeletal muscle at 540 nm was measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Regression analysis was performed with time of death as independent variable (x) and MFI as dependent variable (y). Results In early PMI, the MFI of human skeletal muscle increased obviously according to the prolongation of PMI, and peaking by 12 h and then tended to steady. Within 12 h after death, the regression equations of right biceps brachii muscle and right quadriceps femoris muscle were y=32.660+3.227 x(r=0.9879) and y=32.380+3.495 x(r=0.9839), respectively. Conclusion There's high correlation between MFI and PMI. Combining with forensic practice, MFI can be used for the estimation of early PMI (especially in 12 h).

Correlation between RNA Degradation Patterns of Rat's Brain and Early PMI at Different Temperatures / 法医学杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To explore the correlation between early postmortem interval （PMI） and eight RNA markers of rat's brain at different temperatures.@*METHODS@#Total 222 SD rats were randomly divided into control group （PMI=0 h） and four experimental groups. And the rats in the experimental groups were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and respectively kept at 5 ℃, 15 ℃, 25 ℃ and 35 ℃ in a controlled environment chamber. The RNA was extracted from brain tissues, which was taken at 9 time points from 1 h to 24 h postmortem. The expression levels of eight markers, β-actin, GAPDH, RPS29, 18S rRNA, 5S rRNA, U6 snRNA, miRNA-9 and miRNA-125b, were detected using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, respectively. Proper internal reference was selected by geNorm software. Regression analysis of normalized RNA markers was performed by SPSS software. Mathematical model for PMI estimation was established using R software. Another 6 SD rats with known PMI were used to verify the mathematical model.@*RESULTS@#5S rRNA, miR-9 and miR-125b were suitable as internal reference markers for their stable expression. Both β-actin and GAPDH had well time-dependent degradation patterns and degraded continually with prolongation of PMI in 24 h postmortem. The mathematical model of the variation of ΔCt values with PMI and temperature was set up by R software and the model could be used for PMI estimation. The average error rates of model validation using β-actin and GAPDH were 14.1% and 22.2%, respectively.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The expression levels of β-actin and GAPDH are well correlated with PMI and environmental temperature. The mathematical model established in present study can provide references for estimating early PMI under various temperature conditions.

Promoting health wellness-The essentials of Chinese medicine / 中国结合医学杂志

Chinese medicine is a healing medicine which respect the power of human body itself. The essentials of Chinese medicine is promoting health wellness instead of disease management. Modern medicine just realized the limits of its theory. P4 medicine (personalized, predictive, preventive, and participatory/precision) similar to Chinese medicine theory is beginning to representing the pioneer in the Western world. In this review, we summarized different domains of Chinese medicine. Based on the basic of promoting health wellness, we compared the fundamental theory of Chinese medicine to the new merging P4 medicine idea of Western medicine. We also discussed the potential for using modern computational medicine technique to integrate Chinese medicine theory and Western medicine theory.
