Medical artificial intelligence (AI) applies AI technology to the medical field to meet clinical needs, combines with the experience of doctors, and relies on the computing, analysis and decision⁃making ability of AI to provide accurate intelligent assistance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. At present, medical AI is based on knowledge guided and data driven approaches, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Combining knowledge⁃guided AI with data⁃driven AI and utilizing their respective advantages is expected to break through the application bottle neck of medical AI and promote the development and innovation of medical AI. This paper summarizes the application of medical AI driven by knowledge guidance and data mining and looks forward to the future development direction, in order to promote the innovation and application of AI technology in the medical field.

With the development of the combination of medicine and engineering and the improvement of clinical rehabilitation demand, intelligent upper limb rehabilitation robots can provide stroke patients with high intensity and repetition of active rehabilitation training to restore the upper limb motor function and achieve the remodeling of damaged brain nerves. However, many upper limb rehabilitation robot systems are still in the stage of laboratory development or clinical verification. This paper summarizes the latest research results of upper limb rehabilitation robots at home and abroad, compares the advantages and disadvantages of different types of robots, looks forward to the development trend of upper limb rehabilitation robots, and provides ideas for further promoting clinical transformation.

The combination of medicine and engineering is gradually becoming a new model for clinical diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Intelligent assisted diagnosis and treatment is attracting more and more attention from clinicians, among which video technology is favored for its advantages of simple operation and no need to wear. Video technology combined with artificial intelligence (AI) can discover the early symptom characteristics of PD, quantify the symptoms of PD, and realize the remote medical treatment of PD. This article reviews the latest progress in the diagnosis and treatment of PD through intelligent video technology and looks forward to its future application in order to promote its clinical application.

Neuromodulation technique not only provides a new idea for the treatment of many diseases, but also has a profound influence on the innovation and development of rehabilitation medicine. Nowadays, the neuromodulation technique in China is in the stage of rapid development, facing great opportunities and challenges, and has broad application prospects. This review intends to describe the mechanism of different types of neuromodulation technologies, and its application status and future development in the field of rehabilitation medicine, in order to promote the application and development of neuromodulation technique in the field of neurorehabilitation in China.

Brain ⁃ computer interface (BCI) is a cutting ⁃ edge technology of interdisciplinary integration, which has been widely used in many fields. This article introduces the four key parts of BCI technology, including signal acquisition, feature extraction, feature classification and external devices manipulation. This review introduces the application status of BCI in the medical field, we focus on the application of network science and deep learning in BCI, including extracting deeper electroencephalography (EEG) signal representations and achieving high ⁃ precision classification. Lastly, we explore the application prospects and challenges of BCI in the medical field.

As a new science and technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of stroke, and shows great potential. The combination of artificial intelligence and big data can accurately identify high ⁃ risk subjects, classify stroke subtype, and assist in the formulate of therapeutic strategies in acute period and prevention strategy of stroke. Sequentially, it can improve the effect of rehabilitation. This paper reviews the research progress of artificial intelligence in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of stroke.

Gait disorder appears in the whole process of Parkinson's disease (PD), which causes disability and serious affects in PD patients. The mechanism of gait disorder in PD is still unclear. Functional brain - neuroimaging can be used to analyse the characteristics and rules of brain functional activity related to gait disorder in PD, and has important clinical significance in revealing the neural physiopathologia mechanism of gait disorder, guiding the treatment and evaluating the curative effect. This paper briefly summarizes the research progress of fMRI and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in gait disorder of PD, to provide reference for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Frailty, as a kind of geriatric syndrome, increases adverse health outcomes such as falls, depression, deformity, disability and death in the elderly. The pathogenesis of frailty is not yet clear, and chronic inflammation is considered to be the main mechanism for its occurrence and development. Inflammation induces frailty by leading to sarcopenia, obesity, a variety of chronic diseases and immune dysfunction. Nutrition support, drug therapy and exercise intervention can reduce the level of inflammatory factors, reduce the inflammatory response, thus promoting muscle growth, reduce obesity, have a certain improvement effect on frailty.

Blood pressure management in acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is always concerned and controversial, until Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT) and INTERACT2 provides reliable evidence for blood pressure management of ICH. This article focuses on the high-quality clinical studies of INTERACT and INTERACT2 published by Chinese scholars in foreign journals in the past three years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stroke has become the leading common cause of disability and the second most common cause of death in China. Endovascular treatment emerged in recent years as a promising treatment method with a higher recanalization rate and better functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion. This paper selected 4 high - quality retrospective studies by Chinese scholars regarding endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke, which were published in foreign journals during past 3 years, and focused on study methods and results.

Post - stroke depression (PSD) is a serious complication affecting the survival and functional recovery of stroke patients. The prevalence rate of PSD is about 30% . PSD happens mostly within one year after stroke, and especially within 3 months after stroke. The main risk factors of PSD were disability, past history of depression, stroke severity, cognitive dysfunction and anxiety symptoms. The treatment principles of PSD include drug treatment, psychological therapy, rehabilitation therapy, physical therapy and others. Especially, rehabilitation therapy can significantly reduce the incidence of PSD and improve the prognosis. Further study on the mechanism of PSD and optimization of PSD rehabilitation therapy can improve PSD prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
