Objective To construct large medical model named by "Huaxi HongYi"and explore its application effectiveness in assisting medical record generation. Methods By the way of a full-chain medical large model construction paradigm of "data annotation - model training - scenario incubation", through strategies such as multimodal data fusion, domain adaptation training, and localization of hardware adaptation, "Huaxi HongYi" with 72 billion parameters was constructed. Combined with technologies such as speech recognition, knowledge graphs, and reinforcement learning, an application system for assisting in the generation of medical records was developed. Results Taking the assisted generation of discharge records as an example, in the pilot department, after using the application system, the average completion times of writing a medical records shortened (21 min vs. 5 min) with efficiency increased by 3.2 time, the accuracy rate of the model output reached 92.4%. Conclusion It is feasible for medical institutions to build independently controllable medical large models and incubate various applications based on these models, providing a reference pathway for artificial intelligence development in similar institutions.

The chemical composition of Paeoniae Radix Alba(PRA) is complex, with primary secondary metabolites including monoterpenoids, tannins, triterpenoids, and flavonoids. In previous studies on the material basis of PRA, it was found that, in addition to the widely studied characteristic monoterpene glycosides, tannic acid components also play an important role in the efficacy of PRA. However, their pharmacological effects have not been thoroughly investigated. This paper reviews the tannic acid components in PRA, including pentagaloyl glucose(PGG), tetragaloyl glucose(TGG), trigaloyl glucose(TriGG), and gallic acid, along with their structures, properties, and characteristics to provide a detailed discussion of their pharmacological activities and related mechanisms, aiming to offer a theoretical basis for the material basis research and clinical application of PRA.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To compare the postoperative recurrence rates between Thulium laser en bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) and traditional transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in treating patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 1 439 patients with NMIBC who underwent either Thulium laser ERBT or TURBT in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, between January 2010 and March 2024. Among them, 201 patients received Thulium laser ERBT, while 1 238 patients underwent TURBT. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed in a 1∶1 ratio to eliminate selection bias due to non-random assignment, ensuring the comparability of clinical baseline data such as gender, age, pathological diagnosis, T stage, tumor grade, tumor size, and tumor number between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to generate recurrence-free survival curves for the matched groups, and the log-rank test was conducted to compare differences between the groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors affecting postoperative recurrence.Results:After PSM matching, 193 patients were included in each group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender ( P=0.317), age ( P=0.207), pathological type ( P=0.756), T stage ( P=0.402), tumor grade ( P=0.965), tumor size ( P=0.821), or number of tumors ( P=0.421). The median follow-up time was 16.2(8.0, 33.9) months. Excluding patients with non-urothelial tumors such as adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, there were 180 cases in the Thulium laser ERBT group and 184 cases in the TURBT group. Survival analysis showed that the postoperative recurrence rate of urothelial carcinoma patients in the Thulium laser ERBT group was lower than that in the TURBT group [20.0%(36/180) vs. 38.6%(71/184), P<0.001]. Stratified survival analysis indicated that in patients with tumor diameters ≤30 mm [22.3%(29/130) vs. 33.6%(45/134), P=0.017] or >30 mm [14.0%(7/50) vs. 52.0%(26/50), P=0.002], the Thulium laser ERBT group had lower postoperative recurrence rate compared to the TURBT group.Among patients with single tumor, the recurrence rate in the Thulium laser ERBT group was lower than in the TURBT group[10.5%(11/105) vs. 31.5%(35/111), P<0.001]. However, among patients with multiple tumors, there was no statistically significant difference in recurrence rates between the Thulium laser ERBT group and the TURBT group [35.7%(25/70) vs. 47.9%(34/71), P=0.061]. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that Thulium laser ERBT treatment was an independent protective factor against postoperative recurrence in NMIBC patients ( HR=0.44, 95% CI 0.30-0.66, P<0.001). Patients with adenocarcinoma ( HR=5.85, 95% CI 2.07-16.51, P<0.001), squamous cell carcinoma ( HR=2.98, 95% CI 1.04-8.55, P=0.042), or other types of tumors ( HR=2.98, 95% CI 1.14-7.75, P=0.026) had higher risks of recurrence. High-grade tumor patients faced increased risks of postoperative recurrence ( HR=1.84, 95% CI 1.21-2.79, P=0.004). Additionally, tumors >30 mm had increased risks of postoperative recurrence compared to those ≤30 mm ( HR=2.00, 95% CI1.31-3.05, P=0.001). Patients with single tumor had significantly reduced risks of postoperative recurrence compared to those with multiple tumors ( HR=0.50, 95% CI 0.34-0.73, P<0.001). Conclusions:Regardless of tumor diameter (≤30 mm or >30 mm), Thulium laser ERBT significantly reduces the postoperative recurrence rate in patients with urothelial carcinoma compared to TURBT, with the advantage being more pronounced in patients with single bladder tumor. Additionally, patients with high-grade tumors, tumor diameters >30 mm, or multiple bladder tumors have higher risk of postoperative recurrence.

Thalamocortical circuitry has a substantial impact on emotion and cognition.Previous studies have demonstrated alterations in thalamocortical functional connectivity(FC),characterized by region-dependent hypo-or hyper-connectivity,among individuals with major depressive disorder(MDD).However,the dynamical reconfiguration of the thalamocortical system over time and potential abnormalities in dynamic thalamocortical connectivity associated with MDD remain unclear.Hence,we analyzed dynamic FC(dFC)between ten thalamic subregions and seven cortical subnetworks from resting-state functional magnetic resonance images of 48 patients with MDD and 57 healthy controls(HCs)to investigate time-varying changes in thalamocortical FC in patients with MDD.Moreover,dynamic laterality analysis was conducted to examine the changes in functional lateralization of the thalamocortical system over time.Correlations between the dynamic measures of thalamocortical FC and clinical assessment were also calculated.We identified four dynamic states of thalamocortical circuitry wherein patients with MDD exhibited decreased fractional time and reduced transitions within a negative connectivity state that showed strong correlations with primary cortical networks,compared with the HCs.In addition,MDD patients also exhibited increased fluctuations in functional laterality in the thalamocortical system across the scan duration.The thalamo-subnetwork analysis unveiled abnormal dFC variability involving higher-order cortical networks in the MDD cohort.Significant correlations were found between increased dFC variability with dorsal attention and default mode networks and the severity of symptoms.Our study comprehensively investigated the pattern of alteration of the thalamocortical dFC in MDD patients.The heterogeneous alterations of dFC between the thalamus and both primary and higher-order cortical networks may help characterize the deficits of sensory and cognitive processing in MDD.

Objective To explore the correlation between polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)and periodontitis in light of cytokines levels,sex hormone levels and metabolism-related indicators and their changes during progression of the two diseases.Methods Twenty healthy subjects and 40 patients diagnosed with PCOS underwent full-mouth periodontal examinations to obtain full-mouth plaque score(FMPS),gingival bleeding index of probing(BOP),probing depth(PD),and clinical attachment level(CAL).The participants were divided into Group A without periodontitis or PCOS(n=15),Group B with PCOS but without periodontitis(n=28),Group C with periodontitis but without PCOS(n=5),and Group D with both diseases(n=12).Serum levels of luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone(LH/FSH),testosterone,prolactin,progesterone and estradiol,and the levels of interleukin 6(IL-6),IL-17A,tumor necrosis factor α and matrix metalloproteinase 8(MMP-8)in both serum and saliva samples were measured at the time of enrolment and at 3 and 6 months after enrolment and compared among the 4 groups.Results Serum MMP-8 level was significantly higher in Group B than in Group A(P<0.05).Salivary MMP-8 level was significantly higher in Group D than in Group B(P<0.05).Salivary MMP-8,LH,and LH/FSH levels and serum and salivary IL-6 and progesterone levels all tended to increase in the 6 months after enrollment(OR>1,P<0.05).During the follow-up period,serum IL-6 levels differed significantly between the non-PCOS groups(A and C)and PCOS groups(B and D)(P<0.05);serum IL-6 and salivary MMP-8 levels differed significantly between the non-periodontitis groups(A and B)and periodontitis groups(C and D)(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis indicated positive correlations of LH and LH/FSH with PD(P<0.05);testosterone and LH/FSH were positively correlated with serum MMP-8 levels(P<0.05),and PD,BOP and FMPS were positively correlated with salivary MMP-8 levels(P<0.01).Conclusion There is a correlation between PCOS and periodontitis,and their progression is accompanied by changes in serum and salivary levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and serum sex hormones.
