人工智能在中医药领域的应用进展及现状思考

人工智能（Artificial Intelligence，AI）的蓬勃兴起为现代社会带来了前所未有的机遇，中医药是中华民族传承千年的文化瑰宝。随着人工智能技术不断在中医药领域的科技创新中崭露头角，二者的融合不断加深，人工智能在中医药领域的发展前景、争议挑战也引发了诸多思考。本文将从人工智能在中医药领域的应用入手，对人工智能辅助中医诊断、智能决策与数据挖掘、健康管理及中草药现代化研究等方面，就近年来国内外研究进展进行总结与分析，以期为AI视域下实现中医药现代化、智能化赋能。     

阿戈美拉汀联合乙哌立松治疗青年慢性紧张性头痛的疗效分析

目的 探讨阿戈美拉汀联合乙哌立松治疗青年慢性紧张性头痛(Chronictention-typeheadache,CTTH)的疗效及安全性.方法 80例青年慢性紧张性头痛患者依据是否倒班随机分为对照组和治疗组,对照组口服乙哌立松治疗,治疗组在对照组基础上联合阿戈美拉汀治疗,评估2组患者治疗前匹兹堡睡眠量表评分(PSQI)评估治疗6周后两组的头痛疗效以及不良反应.结果 倒班人员的入组前PSQI的总评分、睡眠质量、入睡时间、催眠药物及睡眠障碍因子分高于非倒班人员;治疗组的疗效优于对照组,有统计学意义(P＜0.05);治疗组内,倒班患者疗效优于非倒班患者(P＜0.05).两组不良反应无明显差异.结论 阿戈美拉汀联合乙哌立松治疗慢性紧张性头痛的的疗效确切,安全性高.     

Unexpected Return for Follow-up During the First Year of Multidisciplinary Care May Be Predictive of Rapid Deterioration of Renal Function

Multidisciplinary predialysis education and team care (MDC) may slow the decline in renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, associations between unexpected return during MDC and progression of renal dysfunction have not been characterized in patients with CKD. Our study aimed to determine the association between exacerbation of renal dysfunction and the frequency of unexpected return during follow-up.A total of 437 patients with CKD receiving multidisciplinary care between January 2009 and June 2013 at the Shin-Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital were included in this retrospective observational cohort study, and multiple imputations were performed for missing data. The predictor was the frequency of unexpected return for follow-up during the first year after entering MDC. Main outcome was monthly declines in estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR). Moreover, the demographic data, comorbidities, history of medication, and routine laboratory data for patients with CKD were collected.Among all patients, 59.7% were male, the mean age at initiation of MDC was 69.4 ± 13.2 years, and the duration of follow-up was 21.4 ± 3.3 months. The subjects were divided into 2 groups according to frequencies of follow-up (≤4 and > 4 visits) during the 1st year of MDC. The patients with CKD were regularly followed up every 3 months as a part of MDC in our hospital, and patients who returned for more than 4 follow-up visits were included in the unexpected return group. In crude regression analyses, unexpected return was significantly associated with higher monthly declines of eGFR (β = 0.092, 95% confidence interval, 0.014–0.170). This association remained after adjustments for multiple variables, and subgroup analyses of unexpected return showed that male gender, older age, CKD stage 1 to 3, hypertension, history of coronary artery disease, and use of renin–angiotensin system blockade were significantly associated with declines in renal function.In conclusion, unexpected return for follow-up during the 1st year of MDC was significantly associated with the deterioration of renal function.     

Congenital Heart Disease in Adolescents With Gluteal Muscle Contracture

Gluteal muscle contracture (GMC), presented with hip abduction and external rotation when crouching, is common in several ethnicities, particularly in Chinese. It remains unclear that the reasons why these children are weak and have no choice to accept repeated intramuscular injection. Here, we found some unique cases which may be useful to explain this question.We describe a series of special GMC patients, who are accompanied with congenital heart disease (CHD). These cases were first observed in preoperative examinations of a patient with atrial septal defect (ASD), which was proved by chest X-ray and cardiac ultrasound. From then on, we gradually identified additional 3 GMC patients with CHD. The original patient with ASD was sent to cardiosurgery department to repair atrial septal first and received arthroscopic surgery later. While the other 3 were cured postoperative of ventricular septal defect (VSD), tetralogy of fallot (TOF), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), respectively, and had surgery directly.The study gives us 3 proposals: (1) as to CHD children, it is essential to decrease the use of intramuscular injection, (2) paying more attention to cardiac examination especially cardiac ultrasound in perioperative period, and (3) taking 3D-CT to reconstruct gluteal muscles for observing contracture bands clearly in preoperation. However, more larger series of patients are called for to confirm these findings.     

基于微信平台的翻转课堂在神经病学教学中的应用

目的　探讨基于微信平台的翻转课堂在神经病学教学中的应用及其效果。方法　以浙江中医药大学滨江学院2014级临床医学专业学生为教学对象，设一班、三班共74名学生为实验组，二班38名学生为对照组。选择周围神经病、神经肌肉-接头疾病为教学内容，实验组采用翻转课堂教学，并利用微信平台进行课前预习、课后复习和互动交流；对照组采用传统教学。两组学生课前和课后分别进行微测试、不记名问卷调查；课程结束后统一进行期末考试，其中包含病例分析题，记录并分析每组学生期末考试和病例分析题成绩。所有数据用SPSS 20.0处理，行t 检验或卡方检验。结果　实验组学生的课后微测试成绩明显高于对照组（P=0.038）；期末考试成绩高于对照组（P=0.046），且期末考试中病例分析题得分高于对照组（P=0.026）。课前问卷调查显示，在学习内容了解程度和预习情况的评价上，实验组选择“良”的学生比例高于对照组（P<0.05）。课后问卷调查显示，实验组在学习兴趣的评价中选择“优”“良”的学生比例均高于对照组（P<0.05）；自学能力评价中选择“良”的学生比例、临床思维能力和教学满意度评价中选择“优”的学生比例均高于对照组（P<0.05）；且实验组在所有项目评价中选择“优”“良”的学生总体比例均高于对照组（P<0.05）。课后实验组学习兴趣评价中选择“优”“良”的学生总体比例高于课前（P<0.01）。结论　基于微信平台的翻转课堂在神经病学教学中的应用可行且有效，可弥补传统教学的不足，有助于提高学生的学习兴趣和自主学习能力、锻炼学生的临床思维，值得推广。
