    No full text
    AbstractObjectiveTo review the efficacy of Tianshu capsule in the treatment of migraine.MethodsRetrieving papers from Pubmed, cochrane central register of controlled trials (CENTRAL), Weipu database (VIP), China biology medicine (CBM), China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data. Two reviewers retrieved and extracted the information independently. Retrieval time scale is up to August 2012. Software Review Manager 5.1 was used for analysis.ResultsA total of 10 studies including 937 migraine patients. The merged data shows Tianshu capsule had a higher effective rate in treating migraine, and there is no significant heterogeneity between Tianshu capsule group and control group (χ2=6.33, df=9, P=0.71, I2=0%), OR=4.18 [95% CI (2.93,5.95)]. Tianshu capsule alone compared to conventional therapy also showed advantages, and there was low heterogeneity (χ2=4.53, df=3, P=0.21, I2 = 34%), OR=3.95 [95% CI (2.32, 6.72)]. Meta-analysis results show that clinical efficacy of Tianshu capsule was better than that of the control group in the treatment of migraine and there was a significant difference (P<0.000 01).ConclusionTianshu capsule had better efficacy in the treatment of migraine with fewer adverse effects

    An enhanced author name dataset for PubMed/MEDLINE

    No full text
    &lt;p&gt;The incompleteness of author names is a well-known issue in the MEDLINE database. It was since 2002, the full author name has been systematically indexed in MEDLINE. Although many full author names have been added to MEDLINE, we still found a significant number of abbreviated names in papers published after 2002.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here we built an enhanced author name dataset for MEDLINE, called EAN,&nbsp; achieved by linking the whole PubMed to other large literature databases and conducting a large-scale name comparison and restoration with obtained multi-sources author names. Our evaluation shows that more than 90% of author names in EAN are complete as compared to the ratio of ~60% in MEDLINE.&lt;/p&gt

    Three-dimensional nonreciprocal transport in photonic topological heterostructure of arbitrary shape

    No full text
    Electromagnetic wave propagation in three-dimensional (3D) space typically suffers omnidirectional scattering when encountering obstacles. In this study, we used Chern vectors to construct a topological heterostructure, where large-volume nonreciprocal topological transport in 3D is achieved. The shape of the cross section in the heterostructure can be arbitrary designed, and we experimentally observed the distinctive cross-shaped field pattern transport, nonreciprocal energy harvesting, and the remarkable ability of electromagnetic wave to traverse obstacles and abrupt structure changes without encountering reflections in 3D space

    Professor Zhang Weihua's Clinical Experience in the Application of Yongquan Acupoint

    No full text
    Summarizing Professor Zhang Weihua's understanding of the bidirectional regulation function of Yongquan Point and his clinical application experience, the author believes that Yongquan is a meeting place of Yin and Yang qi, and both Yin and Yang qi are rooted here, which can be used to balance Yin and Yang, and proposes that Yongquan is the key point of bidirectional regulation, which has the functions of bidirectional regulation, bidirectional lifting, bidirectional replenishing. At the same time, Professor Zhang believes that Yongquan point should be combined with the corresponding stimulation method in the treatment of different diseases, which provides a new idea for the clinical treatment of some difficult diseases

    From expectation-3-maximization to bayesian expectation-3-maximization: A latent mixture modeling-based bayesian algorithm for the 4-parameter logistic model

    No full text
    There is renewed interest in the four-parameter logistic model (4PLM), but the lack of a user-friendly calibration method constitutes a major barrier to its widespread application. In the present study, this researcher reformulated the 4PLM from a latent mixture modeling view and developed the Expectation-Maximization-Maximization-Maximization (EMMM) method. Combining the EMMM with the Bayesian approach, allowed the Bayesian Expectation-Maximization-Maximization-Maximization (BEMMM) algorithm to be proposed. First, the author compared the EMMM with BEMMM to confirm that the BEMMM method reduced the number of implausible estimates in EMMM. Next, when comparing the BEMMM with the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method (Culpepper, 2016) and Bayesian Modal Estimation (Waller & Feuerstahler, 2017), the results from a simulation study and a real-world data calibration indicated that the BEMMM and the MCMC are more accurate than the BME, while the BEMMM is much faster than the MCMC.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Ci Zhang, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-11 at 15:29.The student, Ci Zhang, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-11 at 15:36.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-13 at 11:03.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12194 on 2018-08-31 at 17:27:19Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:47:03Z (GMT).
