RESUMO
Abnormal co-occurrence medical visit behavior is a form of medical insurance fraud. Specifically, an organized gang of fraudsters hold multiple medical insurance cards and purchase similar drugs frequently at the same time and the same location in order to siphon off medical insurance funds. Conventional identification methods to identify such behaviors rely mainly on manual auditing, making it difficult to satisfy the needs of identifying the small number of fraudulent behaviors in the large-scale medical data. On the other hand, the existing single-view bi-clustering algorithms only consider the features of the time-location dimension while neglecting the similarities in prescriptions and neglecting the fact that fraudsters may belong to multiple gangs. Therefore, in this paper, we present a multi-view bi-clustering method for identifying abnormal co-occurrence medical visit behavioral patterns, which performs cluster analysis simultaneously on the large-scale, complex and diverse visiting record dimension and prescription dimension to identify bi-clusters with similar time-location features. The proposed method constructs a matrix view of patients and visit records as well as a matrix view of patients and prescriptions, while decomposing multiple data matrices into sparse row and column vectors to obtain a consistent patient population across views. Subsequently the proposed method identifies the corresponding abnormal co-occurrence medical visit behavior and may greatly facilitate the safe operations and the sustainability of medical insurance funds. The experimental results show that our proposed method leads to more efficient and more accurate identifications of abnormal co-occurrence medical visit behavior, demonstrating its high efficiency and effectiveness.

Increasing studies have provided cognitive and neuron evidence for not only the similarities, but also the differences between physical pain and social pain in the brain basis. Comparing the similarities and differences of the brain basis of physical pain and social pain helps us to clarify the mechanism of the occurrence and change of pain, and provide theoretical evidence for clinical pain treatment. In this review, we summarized studies to delineate the brain mechanisms of physical pain and social pain. Through the review of existing studies, we found that both physical pain and social pain can invoke the same brain regions that process emotional experience (the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, anterior insula), emotion regulation (lateral prefrontal cortex) and somatosensory (the posterior insula, secondary sensory cortex). However, the voxel-level activated patterns of physical and social pain differ in the same brain region (dorsal anterior cingulate gyrus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, etc.), and the overlapping brain regions (for example, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex) have varied effect on these two types of pain. In addition, studies have shown that the brain activation pattern for social pain may be influenced by the experimental paradigm. Future studies should actively adopt a data-driven way to examine the brain basis of physical pain and social pain, especially the nerve activation mode, aiming to consummate the theory of pain.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate effects of medium- and long-chain fatty acid triacylglycerols (MLCT) on body fat and serum lipid in overweight and hypertriglyceridemic subjects. METHODS: A double-blind, controlled clinical trial was carried out, in which 112 subjects with hypertriglyceridemia were enrolled and divided into two groups, there were 56 subjects in each group. One group was randomized to consume long-chain fatty acid triacylglycerol (LCT), and the other to MLCT. All volunteers were asked to consume 25 - 30 g test oil daily for consecutive 8 weeks. Anthropometric measurements of body weight, body fat weight, waist circumference(WC), hip circumference(HC), WHR (ratio of WC/HC), total fat weight, subcutaneous fat area, visceral fat area, and serum biochemical variables of glucose, total cholesterols(TC), triglycerides(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)were measured at the initial and final time of the study. RESULTS: 11 subjects were excluded from the study because of various reasons. Of the 101 included cases, there were 50 (male subject 34, 68.0%) and 51 (male subject 33, 64.7%) subjects left in LCT and MLCT group respectively. The proportion of men in MLCT (64.7%, 33/51) was not significantly different (chi(2) = 0.1227, P > 0.05) compared to those in LCT (68.0%, 34/50). The average age of MLCT was (54.2 +/- 12.5) which was not significantly different (t = 0.39, P > 0.05) compared to those in LCT (53.2 +/- 13.0); Body mass index (BMI) of MLCT was (25.9 +/- 3.3) kg/m(2), which was not significantly different (t = 0.08, P > 0.05) compared to those of LCT (25.9 +/- 2.4) kg/m(2). After consumption of test oil for 8 weeks, extent of decrease in BMI, percent of body fat, subcutaneous fat, serum TG and serum LDL-C in overweight subjects of MLCT were (-0.73 +/- 0.61) kg/m(2), (-1.53 +/- 1.32)%, (-16.29 +/- 19.25) cm(2), (-0.57 +/- 0.86) mmol/L and (-0.05 +/- 0.64) mmol/L respectively, those in overweight subjects of LCT were (-0.19 +/- 0.61) kg/m(2), (-0.58 +/- 1.02)%, (4.69 +/- 19.06) cm(2), (0.65 +/- 1.10) mmol/L and (0.38 +/- 0.58) mmol/L respectively, all of them were significantly different (the value of t were -2.70, -2.43, -3.20, -3.81 and -2.09 respectively, all of P value were less than 0.05). CONCLUSION: Consumption of MLCT can reduce body fat weight and serum triacylglycerol and LDL-C in overweight hypertriglyceridemic subjects under an appropriate dietary regime.

OBJECTIVE: In order to study the hypoglycemic effects of crude polysaccharides extract from Momordica charantia in normal and diabetic mice. METHODS: Oral glucose tolerance test was carried out in 24 normal mice, CPS was orally administered in experiment group at 1 g/kg BW. 80 diabetic mice (type 1 and type 2 diabetic model) were divided into two groups randomly, CPS was administered at ad lib and fasted condition in experiment group at 1 g/kg BW, blood glucose was measured at different time. RESULTS: In normal mice, after administered glucose (3g/kgBW) the blood glucose level of experiment group at 0.5, 1 h was significantly lower than that of control group (16.4% and 16.5% lower than control group respectively, P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). In diabetic mice, the fasted and ad lib blood glucose after administering CPS orally 2h, 4h were lower than that of control group (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 respectively). CONCLUSION: CPS can improve OGTT in normal mice, and has significant hypoglycemic effect in two types diabetic mice.
