Recent advances in large models demonstrate significant prospects for transforming the field of medical imaging. These models, including large language models, large visual models, and multimodal large models, offer unprecedented capabilities in processing and interpreting complex medical data across various imaging modalities. By leveraging self-supervised pretraining on vast unlabeled datasets, cross-modal representation learning, and domain-specific medical knowledge adaptation through fine-tuning, large models can achieve higher diagnostic accuracy and more efficient workflows for key clinical tasks. This review summarizes the concepts, methods, and progress of large models in medical imaging, highlighting their potential in precision medicine. The article first outlines the integration of multimodal data under large model technologies, approaches for training large models with medical datasets, and the need for robust evaluation metrics. It then explores how large models can revolutionize applications in critical tasks such as image segmentation, disease diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, and real-time interactive systems, thus pushing the boundaries of traditional imaging analysis. Despite their potential, the practical implementation of large models in medical imaging faces notable challenges, including the scarcity of high-quality medical data, the need for optimized perception of imaging phenotypes, safety considerations, and seamless integration with existing clinical workflows and equipment. As research progresses, the development of more efficient, interpretable, and generalizable models will be critical to ensuring their reliable deployment across diverse clinical environments. This review aims to provide insights into the current state of the field and provide directions for future research to facilitate the broader adoption of large models in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the rehabilitation efficacy of Beckman oral-motor training combined with auditory integration training(AIT)in children with language development delay.Methods A total of 118 children diagnosed with language development delay were enrolled in this study,and randomly assigned to auditory training group or combined training group,with 59 cases in each group.Children in the auditory training group received AIT,while those in the combined train-ing group underwent Beckman oral-motor training combined with AIT.The clinical efficacy,intellec-tual development,language ability,oral motor function,articulation ability,and serum neurotrophic factor levels of the two groups were observed and compared.Results After treatment,the overall ef-fective rate in the combined training group was 93.22％(55/59),which was significantly higher than 79.66％(47/59)in the auditory training group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Following treatment,the scores of intellectual development,language ability,oral motor function,and articulation ability,as well as the serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and nerve growth factor(NGF)in both groups were elevated compared to the pre-treatment levels.Moreover,these parameters in the combined training group were superior to those in the audi-tory training group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Beck-man oral-motor training combined with AIT can enhance the rehabilitation outcome in children with language development delay,improving their speech function,intellectual development,oral motor function,articulation ability,and serum neurotrophic factor levels.

Aim To investigate the effect of oroxylin A(OA)on apoptosis in Ishikawa cell line of endometrial cancer and the underlying mechanism through the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT)signaling pathway.Methods Ishikawa cells were treated with different concentrations of OA(0,4,8,10,12,and 20 μmol·L-1)for 24 h-72 h,the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and the protein ex-pression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),PI3K/AKT,recombinant cytochrome P450 1B1(CYP1B1),and catechol-O-methyltransferase(COMT)were detected by Western blot technique.Results OA inhibited the prolifera-tion of Ishikawa cells in a concentration-and time-de-pendent manner.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of Bax protein increased signifi-cantly,while the expression of Bcl-2 protein decreased significantly with the increase of OA concentration.The expression of COMT protein increased significant-ly,while the expression of CYP1B1 protein decreased significantly.PI3K/AKT:IGF-1(PI3 K agonist)sup-plementation reversed the effect,the expression of COMT protein significantly decreased,and the expres-sion of CYP1B1 protein significantly increased.Con-clusions OA exerts anti-tumor effects in Ishikawa cells of endometrial cancer,which may be related to cell apoptosis mediated by the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To observe the safety and efficacy of perioperative short-duration platelet membrane glycoprotein Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist(GPI)in elderly patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI)for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)with high thrombotic burden.Methods A total of 140 elderly patients with acute STEMI admitted to our department from October 2021 to January 2024 were recruited and ran-domly divided into experimental group(short duration)and control group(standard duration),with 70 cases in each group.The occurrence of MACE,complete rate of ST segment resolution 2 h after surgery,blood flow classification thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI),left ventric-ular ejection fraction(LVEF),N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),inhibition of platelet aggregation(IPA)by thromboelastography(TEG),maximum amplitude of adenosine diphosphate receptor pathway(MAADP),platelet-related indicators,and incidences of thrombocy-topenia and bleeding events were observed in the 2 groups after operation.Results There were no significant differences in postoperative recurrence of angina pectoris,acute heart failure,malignant arrhythmia,rate of ST segment resolution,TIMI blood flow grade 3,no reflow,LVEF,NT-proBNP level before discharge,and incidences of severe hemorrhage and thrombocytopenia during hospi-talization between the two groups(P＞0.05).The experimental group had significantly lower IPA[(76.1±15.3)％vs(96.3+19.4)％,P=0.016]and higher MAADP(45.6±8.2 mm vs 26.7±9.7 mm,P=0.028)in 18 h after operation,and lower incidence of minor bleeding(7.1％vs 24.3％,P＜0.05)during hospitalization when compared with the control group.Conclusion Under the premise of using a novel oral purinergic receptor P2Y12 inhibitor,short-term GPI is not inferior to the standard time course in achievement of IPA,with similar efficacy and relatively better safety.

Tinnitus is a clinically refractory disease with a high incidence.LAI's Tongyuan acupuncture method believes that tinnitus is nothing more than the two ends of deficiency and excess.The deficiency is closely related to original spirit,and the excess is related to the pathological factors such as externally-contracted six pathogenic factors,phlegm-damp and blood stasis,and qi stagnation and yang constraint.The Tongyuan acupuncture method is based on original spirit,takes the two vessels of conception vessel(CV)and governor vessel(GV)as the general outline,takes the regulation of yin and yang as the main method,pays attention to the combination of local and overall,and emphasizes the application of tonification and purgation,and has the clinical effect of reinforcing healthy qi and dispelling pathogen,cultivating the vital essence.In clinical application,the method of'unblocking governor vessel and nourishing spirit'is used to play the role of heart and brain nourishing spirit and warming and supporting yang qi.The method of'conducting qi back to its source'has the effect of cultivating the vital essence and regulating qi movement.The treatments should be cooperated according to the syndromes,so that the pathogens can be expelled and healthy qi can be settled.Qi and blood have origins of generation and transformation and normally nourishing in the ear,so as to effectively alleviate the patient's tinnitus symptoms.This paper summarizes and analyzes Professor LAI Xin-Sheng's Experience in the diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus by Tongyuan acupuncture method,and provides a new acupuncture treatment plan for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome elements and risk factors in children with IgA vasculitis(IgAV,also known as Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura).Methods The medical records of 131 children with IgAV were retrospectively analyzed.And then the distribution of their TCM syndrome elements was investigated,and the correlation of TCM syndrome elements with the gender,age,clinical symptoms,as well as risk factors such as mosquito bite,pathogen infection,and allergic rhinitis was analyzed.Results(1)Among the 131 children with IgAV,the diseases-location syndrome elements of IgAV involved lung in 97 cases(74.05%),spleen in 61 cases(46.56%),kidney in 54 cases(41.22%),liver in 17 cases(12.98%),and heart in 11 cases(8.40%);the disease-nature syndrome elements of IgAV involved blood stasis in 131 cases(100.00%),wind-damp in 125 cases(95.42%),wind-heat in 90 cases(68.70%),damp-heat in 72 cases(54.96%),blood heat in 49 cases(37.40%),qi deficiency in 19 cases(14.50%),and yin deficiency in three cases(2.29%).(2)There were 69 cases(52.67%)of females and 62 cases(47.33%)of males among the IgAV children,with females outnumbering males.The age group of IgAV children was predominated by five to six years old,and 10 cases(7.63%)were younger than four years old,18 cases(13.74%)were four years old,39 cases(29.77%)were five years old,34 cases(25.95%)were six years old,17 cases(12.98%)were seven years old,and 13 cases(9.92%)were older than seven years old.The disease-nature syndrome elements such as blood stasis,wind-damp,wind-heat,and damp-heat were frequently seen in the age group of five to seven years old,yin deficiency was frequently seen in the age group older than seven years,and blood stasis was seen in all age groups.(3)The results of logistic regression analysis of the correlation between TCM syndrome elements and risk factors in IgAV patients showed that allergic rhinitis was positively correlated with blood stasis[OR=2.236,95%CI(1.049-4.007)],damp-heat[OR=2.183,95%CI(1.554-3.671)]and wind-damp[OR=1.202,95%CI(1.050-2.409)];pathogen infection was positively correlated with blood stasis[OR=3.199,95%CI(1.457-4.101)]and damp-heat[OR=1.119,95%CI(1.072-2.009)];mosquito bite was positively correlated with blood stasis[OR=4.533,95%CI(1.029-9.022)]and damp-heat[OR=2.257,95%CI(1.081-13.207)];the gender was positively correlated with blood stasis[OR=1.352,95%CI(1.271-3.018)]and wind-damp[OR=1.149,95%CI(1.071-3.102)].The differences were all statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion IgAV usually involves the lungs and is also related to the five zang organs.Its pathogenesis is characterized by excess in superficiality such as blood stasis and wind-damp-heat in the early stage,and is predominated by deficiency in origin such as qi deficiency and yin deficiency in the later stage.For the children with IgAV,mosquito bite,pathogen infection and allergic rhinitis are more likely to induce blood stasis and wind-damp-heat;TCM syndrome elements such as wind-heat,damp-heat,blood heat,and qi deficiency are frequently seen in the males,while TCM syndrome elements such as blood stasis,wind-damp,and yin deficiency are frequently seen in the females.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.
