Objectives: Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we analysed the clinical manifestations of granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) before and after treatment with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods: This was a retrospective study. Clinical manifestations and imaging features of patients with biopsy-proven GLM before and after treatment were retrospectively analysed from April 2021 to April 2023 at Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Results: Among 29 women of childbearing age (mean age, 34.3 +/- 3.6 years), Compared to pre-therapy, the number of patients with lumps, ruptures, pain, and menstrual irregularities was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). The Chinese medicine staging demonstrated a transition from bulk to ulcerated (P=0.041). Pre- and post-treatment MRI changes included lesion number, distribution, maximal diameter, time-signal intensity curves (TIC), apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC), and BI-RADS categories 3 and 4a (all P<0.05). Furthermore, substantial changes were seen in chest wall invasion, nipple discharge, increased feeding arteries, and skin edema (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Combining internal and external Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy proved successful for GLM. A reliable assessment of therapy efficacy is provided by MRI examination of lesion changes before and after treatment.
Objectives:To evaluate lesions of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) by combination of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetization transfer (MT).Methods:A retrospective study was used in this study. Forty-nine ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients admitted to The China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences Xiyuan Hospital from May 2020 to October 2020 were collected into active and inactive groups. Twenty-two healthy volunteers were recruited. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values for bone marrow edema (BME), sclerosis area, fat deposit area, and normal-appearing bone marrow (NABM) (both patients and healthy volunteers) and the magnetization transfer (MT) rate of the cartilage (MTRc) were analyzed in the groups. The above five parameters (ADC (NABM), ADC (BME) and ADC (fat deposit) and MTRc) between the active group and the inactive group were compared. The effectiveness of each parameter in diagnosing sacroiliac arthritis of ankylosing spondylitis were analyzed, and the predictive value of the parameters was compared.Result:ADC(BME), ADC(NABM) and MTRc showed statistically significant differences between the active and inactive groups (P <0.05). ADC (BME) and ADC (NABM) could predict the activity of AS sacroiliac arthritis (P <0.01). ADC (NABM) and MTRc were significantly different between healthy volunteers and the active group (P <0.01). The areas under the ROC curve (AUCs) of ADC (BME)_ADC(NABM), ADC(NABM)_MTR, and ADC(BME)_MTRc were 0.885 (cut-off value=0.69), 0.849 (cut-off value=0.56) and 0.864 (cut-off value=0.60), respectively. The predictive ability of the combined index ADC (BME)_MTRc and ADC(NABM)_MTRc was increased.Conclusion:The ability to diagnose and predict AS might be improved by the combination of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetization transfer (MT).

Objective Iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation-iron quantification (IDEAL-IQ) is a noninvasive and objective method used to quantitatively measure fat content. Although this technique has been used in the entire abdomen, IDEAL-IQ findings in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) have rarely been reported. This preclinical study was performed to quantify the amount of fat in the SIJ in healthy volunteers by IDEAL-IQ. Methods From April to November 2017, 60 healthy volunteers with low back pain were included in this retrospective study. The participants were allocated into groups by age (15–30, 31–50, and ≥51 years), sex (male and female), and body mass index (BMI) (<18.5, 18.5–23.9, and ≥24.0 kg/m2). The iliac-side (Fi) and sacral-side (Fs) fat fractions were obtained in all groups. Two- and three-factor multivariate analyses were performed to analyze the effects of sex, age, and BMI on the Fi and Fs. Results The interaction among sex, age, and BMI had no statistically significant effect on the dependent variable. Both Fi and Fs were significantly influenced by age. Fs was significantly influenced by sex. Conclusion The IDEAL-IQ sequence can be used to quantitatively assess the SIJ fat content in healthy volunteers.
Chinese medicine emergency knowledge includes tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge,of which tacit knowledge is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine emergency. Explicitness of tacit knowledge is an important measure for effective transmission,sharing and exchange of TCM. This paper explores the realization methods of explicit inheritance of tacit knowledge from the perspectives of reading theoretical writings,conducting academic interviews,using data mining,establishing learning organization and diligent in clinical practice,and so on,in order to better transmission of traditional Chinese medicine emergency tacit knowledge and promote the de-velopment of traditional Chinese medicine emergency science.
Tacit knowledge is the core of knowledge,and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) tacit knowledge is an important part of TCM science.Externalization of tacit knowledge in TCM is a necessary condition for effective exchange and sharing of TCM knowledge,and important guarantee to promote the development and innovation of TCM.However,the process of externalizing tacit knowledge is affected by many factors.Data mining technology can extract unknown,potential,useful information and knowledge hidden in a large number of incomplete,fuzzy,random practical application data.By taking advantages of data mining technology in extracting implicit knowledge,this study focused on externalization of tacit knowledge in TCM with support of association rules analysis,complex system entropy clustering analysis,decision tree analysis,factor analysis,bayesian network analysis and other data mining technologies.Through literature analysis and collation,with specific data mining technology as classification criteria and main line,the study involved individual physicians,ancient medical classics and modern clinical researches,with content involving TCM pathogenesis,the rule of treatment,dialectical law,regularity of using prescriptions,regularity of herbal pairs and composition and other aspects of tacit TCM knowledge.The results showed that,according to the characteristics of the research content,specific data mining technology can be selected to externalize tacit TCM knowledge,which is beneficial to expand the channels of externalizing tacit knowledge of TCM,and improve the externalization of tacit TCM knowledge and maximize externalization and sharing of tacit knowledge in TCM.Based on the active role of data mining technology in the externalization of tacit knowledge of TCM,the data mining and inheritance platforms with TCM characteristics shall be popularized,integrated and optimized to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM.
TCM tacit knowledge is an important part of TCM emergency medicine.In this paper,through the analysis of the necessity and influencing factors of tacit knowledge in TCM emergencies,this paper puts forward the corresponding implementation strategies to improve the degree of TCM tacit knowledge,maximize the transmission of tacit knowledge of TCM and promote TCM development and innovation of emergency.
