Asymptomatic spleen-stomach diseases refer to diseases without related symptoms and signs of abdo-minal pain, bloating, diarrhea an others in patients, but showing lesions or pathological changes discovered by modern medical techniques such as endoscopy, CT, MRI. The four examination techniques of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are based on symptoms and signs of patients, which are the advantage of TCM but also have certain limitations. In the context of the increasingly modernized diagnosis and treatment in TCM, it is proposed to expand the application of the four examination techniques from three aspects including microcosmic syndrome differentiation, data sharing, and artificial intelligence in asymptomatic spleen-stomach diseases, in order to achieve the goals of dynamically observing the disease process, collecting disease data in multiple dimensions, and intelligently processing disease data. This will strengthen the modern requirements of early diagnosis and treatment in TCM, and highlight the advantages of TCM in “treating disease before it arises and treating the symptoms beforehand”.

Accurate and efficient methods for identifying and tracking each animal in a group are needed to study complex behaviors and social interactions. Traditional tracking methods (e.g., marking each animal with dye or surgically implanting microchips) can be invasive and may have an impact on the social behavior being measured. To overcome these shortcomings, video-based methods for tracking unmarked animals, such as fruit flies and zebrafish, have been developed. However, tracking individual mice in a group remains a challenging problem because of their flexible body and complicated interaction patterns. In this study, we report the development of a multi-object tracker for mice that uses the Faster region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) deep learning algorithm with geometric transformations in combination with multi-camera/multi-image fusion technology. The system successfully tracked every individual in groups of unmarked mice and was applied to investigate chasing behavior. The proposed system constitutes a step forward in the noninvasive tracking of individual mice engaged in social behavior.
