ObjectiveTo clarify the graded quantitative diagnostic characteristics of lung qi deficiency syndrome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) based on latent class analysis combined with a hidden structure model. MethodsClinical data, including the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), were collected from 745 COPD patients with lung qi deficiency syndrome. Latent class modeling was performed using R 4.1.2 software, and each patient was classified into one of three severity categories (mild, moderate, or severe) based on probabilistic parameterization, parameter estimation, and model fitting. A database was established for different severity levels of lung qi deficiency syndrome. Based on this, Lantern 5.0 software was used to construct hidden structure models for mild, moderate, and severe lung qi deficiency syndrome, and syndrome differentiation rules were developed through comprehensive clustering. ResultsA latent class model was constructed using 28 symptoms and signs with a frequency greater than 10%. Considering TCM theory and model simplicity, the optimal model was determined when the number of latent classes was three, categorizing lung qi deficiency syndrome into mild (298 cases), moderate (164 cases), and severe (283 cases). Hidden structure models were separately developed for each severity level, and syndrome differentiation rules were established. A comparison of common symptoms in the syndrome differentiation rules for mild and moderate lung qi deficiency syndrome showed no statistically significant differences in diagnostic values and weights (P>0.05), leading to their combined analysis and the development of a unified syndrome differentiation rule. Value and weight of quantitative diagnosis of mild-to-moderate lung qi deficiency syndrome were as followed: shortness of breath (diagnostic value 9.3, diagnostic weight 86.92%), dyspnea on exertion (8.2, 76.64%), low voice and reluctance to speak (6.7, 62.62%), poor appetite (4.0, 37.38%), loose stools (4.0, 37.38%), weak cough sound (2.9, 27.10%), wheezing (2.3, 21.50%), fatigue (1.8, 16.82%), spontaneous sweating (1.7, 15.89%), susceptibility to colds (1.6, 14.95%), swollen tongue (1.4, 13.08%), teeth marks on the tongue edge (1.2, 11.21%), deep pulse (1.6, 14.95%), with a diagnostic threshold of 10.3. Value and weight of quantitative diagnosis of severe lung qi deficiency syndrome were as followed: weak cough sound (15.1, 61.13%), soreness and weakness of the waist and knees (12.6, 51.01%), shortness of breath (11.1, 44.94%), low voice and reluctance to speak (8.3, 33.60%), frequent nocturia (6.1, 24.70%), spontaneous sweating (3.7, 14.98%), susceptibility to colds (3.5, 14.17%), teeth marks on the tongue edge (7.8, 31.58%), pale tongue body (1.9, 7.69%), white tongue coating (5.5, 22.27%), thin pulse (1.5, 6.07%), with a diagnostic threshold of 23.7. ConclusionThe combination of latent class analysis and a hideen structure model effectively clarified the graded quantitative diagnostic characteristics of lung qi deficiency syndrome, providing a reference for the quantitative diagnosis of other fundamental syndromes in TCM.

AIM:To investigate the mechanism of reduced tear secretion in depression-related dry eye rats based on 5-HT/TRPV4/AQP5.METHODS:Healthy SD male rats were established with chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)method to establish a depression-induced dry eye model(n=8), and the control group was blank rats(n=8). The ELISA method was used to compare the 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)in serum and hippocampal tissue of the two groups, and the HE sections of lacrimal gland and AQP5 immunohistochemistry were observed. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of 5-HT3R, TRPV4 and AQP5 in the lacrimal gland tissue of the two groups of rats.RESULTS:The tear secretion in the depression-induced group was significantly reduced(P=0.001), the serum and hippocampal 5-HT levels were significantly reduced(all P<0.05), the expression of AQP5 antibody in the lacrimal gland immunohistochemistry was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.001), the expression of 5-HT3R, TRPV4 and AQP5 in the lacrimal gland was significantly reduced(all P<0.05), and no obvious inflammatory cells were found in the lacrimal gland tissue sections.CONCLUSION:Depression-related dry eye may occur through a non-inflammatory 5-HT/TRPV4/AQP5 mechanism.

Objective To assess the current state and influencing factors of multi-site work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among front-line employees in the assembly workshop of an automobile manufacturing enterprise. Methods A total of 394 front-line workers in the assembly workshop of an automobile manufacturing enterprise in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgmental sampling method. The Chinese version Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire was used to assess the presence of WMSDs over the past 12 months in nine body regions: neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, elbows, wrists, hips and thighs, knees, ankles and feet. The multivariable logistic regression was employed to investigate the influencing factors. Results The detection rate of overall WMSDs was 32.7% (129/394), with the top three single-site WMSDs being in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, and their detection rates were 14.0%, 12.7% and 9.6%, respectively. The detection rate of multi-site WMSDs was 17.8% (70/394). The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that workers who turned or bent their upper body while keeping their legs stationary, frequently performed wrist flexion/extension/lateral bending/rotation, or stood for prolonged period of time had significantly higher risks of developing multi-site WMSDs compared with those who did not (all P<0.05). Workers who perceived uncomfortable workplace lighting had higher risk of multi-site WMSDs than those who perceived it as comfortable (P<0.01). Conclusion The development of multi-site WMSDs among workers in the assembly workshop of this automobile manufacturing enterprise is strongly related to poor working postures at work.
