Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degressive and complex disease which is a growing public health problem on a global scale. On basis of an in-house database consisting of clinical records of 13,083 OA patients, the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was divided into 4 categories of medicines on the basis of the curative properties of herbs. Due to the lack of depth and internal relationship in the calculation results of TCM compatibility law data mining methods such as statistics and frequency analysis, we use a variety of multidimensional complex network methods that can efficaciously find the compatibility law of TCM, including similarity measure, graphical visualization of network diagram, random walking, and propensity score methods. We summarize common couplet medicines utilized for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The similarity measure method was used to investigate the commonly used drugs for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The method of association rule analysis is used to recognize the compatibility between the components. On basis of the propensity score methods, the evaluation displayed that, compared with single drug, the drug group increased ESR, CRP, C3, C4, IgG, and IgA more efficiently. Concluding, a random walk model was constructed to assess drug efficacy. After applying a random walk model, while revealing the compatibility among different components of TCM, their therapeutic efficacy against OA is analyzed. We obtained four groups of drug combination clusters by similarity measure and 11 pairs of highly connected drugs by association rules, which are cardinal drug combinations in the prescription for the treatment of OA. We also found that different traditional drug pairs were associated with different laboratory indexes, and drug combinations could better optimize laboratory indexes. This study presented that the TCM constituents complement one another. Besides, the therapeutic effects resulting from a variety of combinations of these constituents are quite different.

The objective is to predict and analyze the behaviors of users in the social network platform by using the personality theory and computational technologies, thereby acquiring the personality characteristics of social network users more effectively. First, social network data are analyzed, which finds that the type of text data marks the majority. By using data mining technology, the raw data of numerous social network users can be obtained. Based on the random walk model, the data information of the text status of social network users is analyzed, and a user personality prediction method integrating multi-label learning is proposed. In addition, the online social network platform Weibo is taken as the research object. The blog information of Weibo users is obtained through crawler technology. Then, the users are labeled in accordance with personality characteristics. The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to evaluate the relation between the user personality characteristics and the user behavior characteristics of the Weibo users. The correlation between the network behaviors and personality characteristics of Weibo users is analyzed, and the scientificity of the prediction method is verified by the Big Five Model of Personality. By applying relevant technologies and algorithms of data mining and deep learning, the learning ability of neural networks on data characteristics can be improved. In terms of performance on analyzing text information of social network users, the user personality prediction method of integrated multi-label learning based on the random walk model has a large advantage. For the problem of personality prediction of social network users, through combining data mining technology and deep neural network technology in deep learning, the data processing results of social network user behaviors are more accurate.

Background and Aim. Antineoplastic drug-induced cardiotoxicity (ADIC) becomes the second leading cause of death for tumor survivors after tumor recurrence and metastasis, and there may be great room for development in the future of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, the theory of anticardiotoxicity of TCM has not yet formed a system. This study aimed to explore the material basis and the rule of TCM against ADIC based on network pharmacology and data mining. Methods. The targets of antineoplastic drugs with cardiotoxicity were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database, China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI) database, and Swiss Target Prediction platform. Then, the cardiotoxicity-related targets were derived from the Gene Cards, Disgenet, OMIM, and DrugBank databases, as well as the drug of current clinical guidelines. The targets both in these two sets were regarded as potential targets to alleviate ADIC. Then, candidate compounds and herbs were matched via Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) platform. Cytoscape3.7.1 was used to set up the target-compound-herb network. Molecular docking between core targets and compounds was performed with AutodockVina1.1.2. The rules of herbs were summarized by analyzing their property, flavor, and channel tropism. Results. Twenty-one potential targets, 332 candidate compounds, and 400 kinds of herbs were obtained. Five core targets including potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2 (KCNH2), cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), mitogen-activated protein kinase1 (MAPK1), and tumor protein p53 (TP53) and 29 core compounds (beta-sitosterol, quercetin, kaempferol, etc.) were collected. Five core herbs (Yanhusuo, Gouteng, Huangbai, Lianqiao, and Gancao) were identified. Also, the TCM against ADIC were mainly bitter and acrid in taste, warm in property, and distributed to the liver and lung meridians. Conclusion. TCM against ADIC has great potential. Our study provides a new method and ideas for clinical applications of integrated Chinese and western medicine in treating ADIC.
