| 1 | A new way to analyze the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome:heat toxin syndrome in cerebral infarction显示文摘Objective:To establish a diagnostic system for heat toxin syndrome of acute cerebral infarction.Based on this toxin syndrome diagnostic system,the general principles of heat toxin development will be uncovered,and the critical turning point at which the heat toxin syndrome occurs will also be explored.Methods:In this study,a total of 271 hypertension patients with cerebral infarction within 72 h were recruited from the Affiliated Dongfang Hospital of the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,the Affiliated Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,the Affiliated Renmin Hospital of Peking University,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and China Meitan General Hospital from August,2008,to December,2009.The patients’Chinese medical information was recorded on days 1,3,5,7,and 14 during their hospitalizations.The medical records were recorded according to traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theory and included the serum marker levels at the beginning and at the end of the trial.The time line was also analyzed.Results:The level of Hs-CRP,PAG,NSE,OX-LDL,and MMP-9 were abnormal and,were higher in CI patients compared to hypertension patients.In the study of the heat toxin diagnosis system,according to the entropy clustering results,30 combinations of the medical information can be sorted into the traditional syndromes,but 13 combinations cannot be sorted.To obtain more precise symptoms related to the heat toxins,a logistic regression equation was set up with the variables from the unsorted medical information;the dependent variables were fever and BP fluctuation.Weighted variables were obtained.MLP analysis demonstrated that the diagnosis model was stable and precise.The accuracy reached 83.82%.The ROC test showed that seven points of the diagnosis system was the best cutting point,with a sensitivity of 0.857 and a specificity of 0.955.Progressing stroke was related to heat toxin syndrome.When the turning point appeared,the combination of symptoms,such as coma,aphasia,gummy eyes,and halitosis,predicted the deterioration or recovery of CI.The heat toxin syndrome existed in every subtype of CI;however,the observed heat toxin levels were highest in PACI and lowest in LACI.Meanwhile,blood and sputum stasis syndromes transformed into heat toxicity were one source of heat toxin syndrome.Conclusion:Heat toxin syndrome,as well as qi/blood/sputum stasis,co-existed in the CI patients,and the transformation frequently appeared during the process.Three to five days after the onset of CI was the turning point,at which time several combinations of medical indicators make it possible to predict the development of CI. | Zhichen Zhang Shaozhen Ji Xuejie Yu Xianglan Jin Liping Zhang Rongjuan Guo Hong Zheng Mingqi Wang Yunling Zhang | 2014 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences2014,1,1: | 1 |
| 3 | In Situ Formed Tribofilms as Efficient Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Interlayers for Stabilizing Lithium Metal Anodes显示文摘The practical application of Li metal anodes(LMAs)is limited by uncontrolled dendrite growth and side reactions.Herein,we propose a new friction-induced strategy to produce high-performance thin Li anode(Li@CFO).By virtue of the in situ friction reaction between fluoropolymer grease and Li strips during rolling,a robust organic/inorganic hybrid interlayer(lithiophilic LiF/LiC_(6)framework hybridized-CF_(2)-O-CF_(2)-chains)was formed atop Li metal.The derived interface contributes to reversible Li plating/stripping behaviors by mitigating side reactions and decreasing the solvation degree at the interface.The Li@CFO||Li@CFO symmetrical cell exhibits a remarkable lifespan for 5,600 h(1.0 mA cm^(-2)and 1.0 mAh cm^(-2))and 1,350 cycles even at a harsh condition(18.0 mA cm^(-2)and 3.0 mAh cm^(-2)).When paired with high-loading LiFePO4 cathodes,the full cell lasts over 450 cycles at 1C with a high-capacity retention of 99.9%.This work provides a new friction-induced strategy for producing high-performance thin LMAs. | Shaozhen Huang Kecheng Long Yuejiao Chen Tuoya Naren Piao Qing Xiaobo Ji Weifeng Wei Zhibin Wu Libao Chen | 2023 | Nano-Micro Letters2023,15,12: | 0 |
