The invention belongs to the field of allogenic mesenchymal stem cells, and particularly relates to a preparation method of allogenic mesenchymal stem cells by CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) technique editing and IGF (insulin-like growth factor) optimization and application of the allogenic mesenchymal stem cells in treating myocardial infarction. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out separation by density gradient centrifugation to obtain allogenic single karyocytes, and carrying out adherent culture to obtain mesenchymal stem cells; designing a mesenchymal stem cell surface antigen B2M-gRNA and an inflammatory factor TNF-alpha-gRNA; establishing recombinant slow virus particles, and transfecting the mesenchymal stem cells; optimizing the mesenchymal stem cells by using IGF-1; and preparing drugs for treating myocardial infarctions by using the modified and optimized mesenchymal stem cells. The CRISPR / Cas9 technique is utilized to remove the antigens capable of causing immunological rejection and the inflammatory factors capable of causing inflammatory reaction on the mesenchymal stem cell surface, and the IGF-1 is utilized to enhance the apoptosis resistance of the mesenchymal stem cells and promote the homing of the mesenchymal stem cells, thereby providing a new technical scheme for preparing drugs for treating cardiovascular diseases in clinic. The prepared allogenic mesenchymal stem cells can not cause immunological rejection after cell transplantation.

The invention discloses a large data cardiovascular disease risk monitoring system. According to the system, personal information (including age, sex, blood pressure, height, weight, obesity index and the like) of health examinations, physical examinations and hospital treatment, and test data of blood routine, blood biochemistry and myocardial enzymes are used for monitoring the cardiovascular disease risk. The invention belongs to the application of large data in the field of health care, and further belongs to the crossing technical field of large data and health care. The invention aims at providing a simple, easy, practical and accurate cardiovascular risk monitoring system. The current monitoring of the cardiovascular disease risk is achieved mostly by enquiring a small sample amount of data collected by a questionnaire method such as disease history, family history and major risk factors for the cardiovascular disease and through the data of blood sugar collected by an instrument, total cholesterol and the like. The monitoring is controlled and managed by medical institutions and doctors so that users can not carry out the monitoring of the cardiovascular disease risk by themselves. Due to the fact that epidemiological features of a cardiovascular disease spectrum and risk factors in Chinese population are significantly different from the epidemiological features in western developed countries. The existing risk assessment tools in Europe and America are not suitable for the Chinese population. With the help of a large data value extraction technology, the large data cardiovascular disease risk monitoring system can monitor the cardiovascular disease risk for users and doctors and provide hope for human to monitor the cardiovascular disease risk by themselves and conquer the cardiovascular disease.
