Retinal ischemia is the common pathologic process in many ophthalmic diseases, including ischemic optic neuropathy, retinal artery and vein occlusion, carotid artery obstructive disease, retinopathy of prematurity, chronic diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. It is very important to establish animal models to investigate pathology mechanism and explore the treatment of retinal ischemia disease. At present, the commonly used methods for establishing retinal ischemia animal models include increasing intraocular pressure, ligating of blood vessels, suture method, photochemical method, and drug injection etc. This article summarizes the methods to establish the animal models and analyzes the indication for each animal model. It is expected that the method of establishing a retinal ischemic animal model will be helpful to the experimental design of follow-up retinal ischemia studies.
Objective To systematically review the pharmacoeconomic evaluation related to relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL), and to summarize its model structure, parameter inclusion and other methodological parts for future r/r B-ALL-related interventions, and to provide references for conducting pharmacoeconomic evaluations. Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect relevant literature on the pharmacoeconomic evaluation model of r/r B-ALL from inception to August 6th, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies. The data on the model structure, methods, and parameter inclusion were then summarized. Results A total of 10 studies using different modeling methods were included. Due to the lack of head-to-head trials, most of the efficacy parameters for the intervention and control groups were derived from different clinical trials and compared indirectly. All studies used quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) as output indicators, and some used life years (LYs) as output indicators and reported the incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER). All studies measured the cost of treatment and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; a few studies also conducted subgroup analysis. Conclusion The number of studies on the economic evaluation of r/r B-ALL is relatively small, and there are large differences in model types, health status, and parameter inclusion. It is suggested that researchers should guarantee the integrity of the report format and normative according to available data choice drug economics evaluation model and establish the reasonable hypothesis under the condition of the patient population heterogeneity uncertainty, perform subgroup analysis especially on the subgroup which did not receive salvage therapy. In the absence of head-to-head clinical trials, appropriate indirect comparison methods are adopted according to the data obtained to reduce methodological differences and improve the quality of relevant pharmacoeconomic research in China.
【Abstract】Objective To introduce the birth and development of model of endstage liver disease (MELD) and evaluate its effect on liver transplantation(LT) as a new scoring system. Methods Literatures of MELD applied in LT were analyzed retrospectively. Results MELD scoring system was used for predicting the prognosis of patients with endstage liver disease and the death risk of candidates on waiting LT extensively and the order of organ sharing was determined by its predicable results. Conclusion MELD has been had a successful initial implementation for predicting the shortterm survival probability and mortality in patients with endstage liver disease, and meeting the goal of providing a system of allocation that emphasizes the urgency of the candidate while diminishing the reliance on waiting time, which has been proven to be a powerful tool for auditing the liver allocation system.
A acute partial obstructive hepatocholangitis model by selective ligation and injection of E coli into left hepatic bile duct was successfully founded in rat. Using parameters including mortality, mitochondrial glutamic oxalacetic transaminase and ornithine carbamoytransferase activity, pathological observation and blood culture of bacteria, we evaluated the model. The authors emphasize that this models is superior to the wole-bile-duct-challenged cholangitis model, which is characterized by liver injury.
Objective To clarify the most important factors affecting the survival of patient with gastric carcinoma. Methods 428 cases of resected gastric carcinoma were studied by using univariate analyses and multivariate regression analyses. Results The most significant factors influencing survival of these patients were peritoneal dissemination, Borrmann classification, type of operation, hepatic metastasis, size of tumor, location, lymph node metastasis and age. Conclusion The factors influencing survival in patient with gastric carcinoma after resection can be correctly analyzed by cox’s proportional hazard model.
Meditation aims to guide individuals into a state of deep calm and focused attention, and in recent years, it has shown promising potential in the field of medical treatment. Numerous studies have demonstrated that electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns change during meditation, suggesting the feasibility of using deep learning techniques to monitor meditation states. However, significant inter-subject differences in EEG signals poses challenges to the performance of such monitoring systems. To address this issue, this study proposed a novel model—calibrated multi-source adversarial adaptation network (CMAAN). The model first trained multiple domain-adversarial neural networks in a pairwise manner between various source-domain individuals and the target-domain individual. These networks were then integrated through a calibration process using a small amount of labeled data from the target domain to enhance performance. We evaluated the proposed model on an EEG dataset collected from 18 subjects undergoing methamphetamine rehabilitation. The model achieved a classification accuracy of 73.09%. Additionally, based on the learned model, we analyzed the key EEG frequency bands and brain regions involved in the meditation process. The proposed multi-source domain adaptation framework improves both the performance and robustness of EEG-based meditation monitoring and holds great promise for applications in biomedical informatics and clinical practice.
Objective To establish a rat model of pancreas-duodenal transplantation for pancreas transplantation research. Methods A rat model of pancreas-duodenal transplantation was established by using dual cuff technique. The graft affiliated portal vein and abdominal aorta were anastomosed to recipient’s left renal vein and left renal artery by using dual cuff technique without clamping the systemic circulation in order to minimize hemodynamic instability. Simultaneously the graft duodenum was anastomosed to the host jejunum in an end-to-side fashion to reestablish drainage of pancreatic secretion. Fluid replacement, warm keeping and anticoagulation were maintained during perioperative period. Results The average donor operation time was (68.4±7.2) min and recipient operation time was (26.1±3.3) min. Moreover, it took (5.0±1.1) min for cuff preparation in vitro and (9.6±3.5) min for vessel reconstruction in vivo, respectively. Intestinal anastomosis took (7.2±2.3) min. The operation successful rate was about 91.7%. Conclusion This pancreas-duodenal transplantation model avoids systemic circulation clamping. It is simple and stable, with the value in pancreas transplantation research.
Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy in clinic. In recent years, many studies have found that patients with temporal lobe epilepsy have different degrees of influence in executive function related fields. This influence may not only exist in a certain field of executive function, but may be affected in several fields, and may be related to the origin site of seizures. However, up to now, there is no unified standard for the composition of executive function, and it is widely accepted that the three core components of executive function are working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility/switching. In addition, the International League Against Epilepsy proposed a new definition in 2010, and epilepsy is a brain network disease. There is a close relationship between brain neural network and cognitive impairment. According to the cognitive field, the brain neural network can be divided into six types: default mode network, salience network, executive control network, dorsal attention network, somatic motor network and visual network. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that four related internal brain networks are series in a range of cognitive processes. The executive dysfunction of temporal lobe epilepsy may be related to the changes of functional connectivity of neural network, and may be related to the left uncinate fasciculus. This article reviews the research progress related to executive function in temporal lobe epilepsy from working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility, and discusses the correlation between the changes of temporal lobe epilepsy neural network and executive function research.
