Investigators adopt cross-sectional study design to carry out the exemplary research in the aspects of disease diagnosis.This study is designed to confirm the hypothesis "acupoint sensitization is associated with a severity of angina pectoris, which may contribute to the diagnosis of stable angina pectoris". After the eligible participants recruited in group, the coronary artery lesions will be evaluated through coronary angiography and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society(CCS) angina pectoris classification will also be evaluated at the same time. The degree of acupoint sensitization will be tested by the electronic Von Frey instrument by one professional acupuncturist with total 12 acupoints, including Shenmen,Yinxi, Shaohao,Jiquan,Neiguan, Ximen, Quze, Shanzhong, Juque, Jueyinyu, Xinyu, Duyu. Analysis were conducted to explore relationships between the degree of acupoint sensitization, the degree of coronary artery stenosis and CCS angina pectoris classification. Diagnostic value will be further analyzed in the final step.

Respiratory und intestinal microbiome will bei analyzed during a period of 6 months. In a retrospective analysis it will be looked for correlations between microbiome and cf therapy (e.g. inhaled and systemic antibiotics, cftr modifiers, proton pump Inhibitors, enzymes, nutritional habits), clinical status and self reported outcome.

This study aims to assess different methods for early adiposity rebound determination at the age of 4/5 years old according to current medical screening criteria in schools, and to assess their prognostic value for obesity amongst 11 years old pre-adolescents according to the known risk factors.

Gyrogenesis is an ontogenic process that transforms the smooth (lissencephalic) cortex toward its mature, convolved (gyrencephalic) state. A tortuous, branching and deepening pattern of sulci and fissures outlines for a well-developed cortex. The aim of this study is to find an algorithm that can detect the sulci in ultrasound images of fetus' brain and measure the length of it. This algorithm can be used for research demands like learning the development of the brain from embryo stages until the birth of the baby

Shivering is a physiologic response to early hypothermia in mammals. The definition of shivering is an involuntary, oscillatory muscular activity that augments metabolic heat production. Routinely in post anesthetic care unit (PACU), the core temperature via tympanic membrane is always measured in all patients. Sometimes patients who have low temperature have no shivering symptom in other hand patients who have normal temperature have shivering symptom. This indicates that, only core temperature is not enough for predicting or detecting patients who will have shivering symptom in PACU. In this study, investigators hypothesise that the core-peripheral temperature difference in postoperative period indicates patients who will have shivering symptom. Thus, the aims of this study are to evaluate the relationship between core-peripheral temperature difference and shivering symptom in patients in PACU.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. It is defined as the accumulation of fat (>5%) in the liver cells in the absence of excessive alcohol intake or other causes of liver disease including viral, drug-induced, or autoimmune. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome.

This is a registry study of the natural course of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA). In addition, the investigators will analyze the benefit-risk of antithrombotic or anticoagulant therapy in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms associated with ischemic heart disease or ischemic cerebrovascular disease. The investigators aim to use research data to create a China national database of UIA

Research already found that patients with autistic spectrum disorders lack of Prevotella intestinal type, then schizophrenia patients may also show the specific intestinal type, so investigators want to detect the gut metagenome of schizophrenia patients by high-throughput DNA sequencing to find specific intestinal type, so as to achieve the purpose of schizophrenia diagnosis. According to the detection of inflammatory factors in the blood, nerve growth factor in the cerebrospinal fluid, to find the mechanism of the gut-microbes-brain axis. Furthermore, investigators want to identify intestinal strains involved in weight gain and metabolic disorders such as blood glucose and lipids induced by antipsychotic drugs.

The purpose of the study is to identify factors that may influence tacrolimus (TAC) pharmacokinetics, and the impact of gene polymorphism (ABCB1, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, POR) on pharmacokinetics of TAC in Taiwanese.

Researchers use FCM to analyze the immunol cell feature and its corresponding activation status, as well as the thromb aspirated through the thromb aspiration device in AMI patients
