ObjectiveTo address the challenges of unstructured classical Chinese expressions， nested entity relationships， and limited annotated data in famous traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） case records， this study proposes a joint relation extraction framework that integrates data augmentation and entity mapping， aiming to support the construction of TCM diagnostic knowledge graphs and clinical pattern mining. MethodsWe developed an annotation structure for entities and their relationships in TCM case texts and applied a data augmentation strategy by incorporating multiple ancient texts to expand the relation extraction dataset. A cascade binary tagging framework for relation triple extraction（CasRel） model for TCM semantics was designed， integrating a pre-trained bidirectional encoder representations from transformers（BERT） layer for classical TCM texts to enhance semantic representation， and using a head entity-relation-tail entity mapping mechanism to address entity nesting and relation overlapping issues. ResultsExperimental results showed that the CasRel model， combining data augmentation and entity mapping， outperformed the pipeline-based Bert-Radical-Lexicon（BRL）-bidirectional long short-term memory（BiLSTM）-Attention model. The overall precision， recall， and F₁-score across 12 relation types reached 65.73%， 64.03%， and 64.87%， which represent improvements of 14.26%， 7.98%， and 11.21% compared to the BRL-BiLSTM-Attention model， respectively. Notably， the F₁-score for tongue syndrome relations increased by 22.68%（69.32%）， and the prescription-syndrome relations performed the best with the F₁-score of 70.10%. ConclusionThe proposed framework significantly improves the semantic representation and complex dependencies in TCM texts， offering a reusable technical framework for structured mining of TCM case records. The constructed knowledge graph can support clinical syndrome differentiation， prescription optimization， and drug compatibility， providing a methodological reference for TCM artificial intelligence research.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effects and potential mechanism of alisol B 23-acetate on acute alcoholic liver injury in mice. METHODS Fifty male Kunming mice were divided into the blank group， model group， and alisol B 23-acetate low-， medium- and high-dose groups （10， 20， 40 mg/kg）， with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant drug solution or normal saline intragastrically， once a day， for 2 consecutive weeks. On the 15th day， mice in the blank group were given normal saline intragastrically， while the other four groups were given 12 mL/kg white wine intragastrically， twice at six-hour intervals， to establish an acute alcoholic liver injury model. On the 16th day of the experiment， the liver indexes of mice in each group were calculated； the serum levels of alanine transaminase （ALT）， aspartate transaminase （AST）， total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， malondialdehyde （MDA） and glutathione （GSH） were also determined. The histopathological morphology of their liver tissues was observed and scored. The protein expressions of cytochrome P450 2E1 （CYP2E1）， Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）， nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） and NAD（P）H： quinone oxidoreductase 1 （NQO1） were measured in liver tissue. RESULTS Compared with model group， mice in each dosage group of alisol B 23-acetate showed varying degrees of recovery in body weight， along with improvements in pathological changes in liver tissues such as inflammatory cell infiltration and fatty vacu oles. Their liver indexes， histopathological scores of liver tissue， serum levels of ALT， AST， TC， TG and MDA， as well as the protein expressions of CYP2E1 and Keap1 in liver tissue， were all significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01）. The serum GSH levels and the protein expressions of Nrf2 （except for the alisol B 23-acetate low-dose group） and NQO1 in liver tissue were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01）， and the changes in the above quantitative indicators showed a dose-dependent pattern. CONCLUSIONS Alisol B 23-acetate can ameliorate acute alcoholic liver injury in mice， and its mechanism may be related to improving antioxidant capacity by regulating the Keap1/Nrf2/NQO1 signaling pathway while simultaneously improving liver lipid metabolism-related indexes.

Objective: To evaluate the intervention effectiveness of co-occurrence and prevention for myopia and obesity among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of comprehensive intervention measures in myopia and obesity. Methods: From September 2022 to September 2023, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 6 primary schools and 6 junior high schools from Tongzhou District, Beijing. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (914 before intervention and 754 after intervention) and a control group (868 before intervention and 652 after intervention), with an expected duration of one academic year. Based on the RE-AIM framework, integrate resources from families, schools, communities, and medical institutions to develop a school-based intervention technology packagefor the co-occurrence and prevention of myopia and obesity in children. The intervention group received intervention according to the comprehensive intervention technology package, while the control group did not receive any intervention measures. Relevant health indicators during the baseline period and after intervention were measured and collected, and groups were compared by Chi quest test, t-test and Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results: After intervention, the uncorrected visual acuity of primary and secondary school students in the intervention group (4.79±0.30) and the control group (4.77±0.33) both decreased compared to those before intervention (4.80±0.30, 4.90±0.32) ( t =-7.00,-5.24); the decrease in uncorrected visual acuity in the intervention group was smaller than that in the control group( t =5.33)( P <0.01). After intervention, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, and body fat percentage of primary and secondary school students in the intervention group decreased compared to those before intervention. However, the changes in these indicators were not statistically significant ( t/Z =-0.03, - 0.36，- 0.30，- 0.01, P >0.05); the above indicators in the control group increased compared to those before intervention, but only hip circumference and body fat percentage showed statistically significant changes ( t/Z =2.17, 2.62, P <0.05). After intervention, both the intervention group and the control group showed increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to those before intervention(intervention group: t =2.16,5.29; control group: t =6.84,5.07); the intervention group had lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure than the control group( t = -5.27 , -2.08)( P <0.05). After intervention, the intervention and the control groups had statistically significant differences in cognitive accuracy(92.48%, 69.33%) in terms of "outdoor exercise can prevent myopia" and "having 5 servings of adult fist sized vegetables and fruits every day" ( χ 2=6.30, 7.86, P <0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of primary and secondary school students in the intervention group (40.98%) and the control group (35.43%) for "who did not drink sugary drinks for every day in the past 7 days" ( χ 2=4.32, P <0.05). After intervention, the intervention group and the control group showed increases in "school outdoor activity duration on school days" and "outdoor activity duration on rest days" compared to those before intervention ( t/Z =-13.32,-9.71;- 2.59，-2.69）；the behavior rate of "visual acuity measurement frequency at least once every 3 months" in the intervention group (46.68%) and the control group (52.76%) increased compared to those before intervention (36.43%, 44.01%), and the increases in the intervention group were greater than that in the control group ( χ 2=17.52,11.08) ( P <0.05). Conclusions Comprehensive intervention measures have significant intervention effects on controlling the occurrence and development of comorbidity of myopia and obesity in children. It could actively promote collaboration and cooperation among families, schools, communities and medical institutions to reduce the occurrence of myopia and obesity among primary and secondary school students.

ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence and determinants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis latent infection among primary and secondary school students in Cixi City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide references for the prevention and control of tuberculosis in school settings. MethodsInterferon-γ release assay (IGRA) testing was performed to fourth-grade primary school students , as well as to those grade 7 and grade 10 students of the academic year 2024‒2025 in Cixi City. Individuals tested positive for IGRA were subsequently subjected to chest X-ray examination and sputum tests (including three smear microscopy examinations and one mycobaterial culture), and epidemiological investigations were carried out for confirmed cases. Infection rates were compared across student categories by χ² tests, while factors influencing infection were analysed through multivariate logistic regression. ResultsA total of 36 214 students completed tuberculosis screening, with an infection rate of 0.72% (260/36 214). The tuberculosis infection rates among fourth-grade primary school students, non boarding grade 7 students, boarding grade 7 students, grade 10 students of senior high school and of vocational high school were 0.68% (89/13 139), 0.75% (86/11 501), 0.51% (13/2 553), 0.76% (52/6 819), and 0.91% (20/2 202), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that students with a history of close contact with tuberculosis patients (OR=21.435, P<0.001) had a higher risk of tuberculosis infection, students with a geographic origin outside Zhejiang Province (OR=1.485, P=0.002) had a higher risk of infection than those within Zhejiang Province. Furthermore, students from ethnic minority classes (OR=4.232, P<0.001) might be high-risk groups for tuberculosis infection in high school settings. One IGRA-positive student was confirmed as bacteriologically positive pulmonary tuberculosis by liquid culture of sputum collected one month later. ConclusionSchools should prioritize tuberculosis screening. Students with a history of close contact, those with a geographic origin outside Zhejiang Province, and those enrolled in minority classes should be taken as priority targets for future tuberculosis screening programmes. A tracking and follow-up system must be established for IGRA-positive students to prevent persistent transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within the school settings.

HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Objective: To establish a database of CD36 antigen-negative donors through large-scale screening of apheresis platelet donors in Shenzhen for CD36 deficiency subtypes and blood group distribution, and to assess clinical demand and blood supply capacity through a retrospective analysis of the apheresis platelet donation volumes from 2019 to 2023. Methods: Flow cytometry with fluorescent CD36 monoclonal antibodies was employed to screen platelet/monocyte CD36 deficiency (Type I and Ⅱ), and statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software (version 27.0). Results: Among 11 603 apheresis platelet donors, 248 (2.14%) exhibited CD36 deficiency, comprising 51 type Ⅰ (0.43%, 51/11, 603) and 197 type Ⅱ (1.70%, 197/11, 603) cases, with significant difference (P<0.001). CD36 deficient platelets were mainly distributed in blood group B (2.28%, 902.3/39 602.1) and AB (2.14, 269/12 544.5), significantly exceeding those in blood group A (1.43%, 667/46 508.4) and O (1.64%, 1 000/60 965.6) (P<0.001). The proportion of donors with 10-100 U from CD36 deficient donors was the highest (51%, 1 446.4/2 838.3). Conclusion: Sustained screening for CD36-deficient donors is recommended to meet the clinical transfusion needs for immunized patients and those requiring antigen-negative products. Regional resource-sharing mechanisms should be optimized to maximize utilization of CD36-deficient platelet inventories.

Objective: Whether elevation in plasma levels of amyloid and tau protein biomarkers are better indicators of cognitive decline than higher baseline levels in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains understudied. Methods: We included 67 participants with twice testing for AD-related plasma biomarkers via immunomagnetic reduction (IMR) assays (amyloid beta [Aβ]1-40, Aβ1-42, total tau [t-Tau], phosphorylated tau [p-Tau] 181, and alpha-synuclein [α-Syn]) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) over a 1-year interval. We examined the correlation between biomarker levels (baseline vs. longitudinal change) and annual changes in the MMSE scores. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to compare the biomarkers. Results: After adjustment, faster cognitive decline was correlated with lower baseline levels of t-Tau (β=0.332, p=0.030) and p-Tau 181 (β=0.369, p=0.015) and rapid elevation of t-Tau (β=-0.330, p=0.030) and p-Tau 181 levels (β=-0.431, p=0.004). However, the levels (baseline and longitudinal changes) of Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42, and α-Syn were not correlated with cognitive decline. aMCI converters had lower baseline levels of p-Tau 181 (p=0.002) but larger annual changes (p=0.001) than aMCI non-converters. The change in p-Tau 181 levels showed better discriminatory capacity than the change in t-Tau levels in terms of identifying AD conversion in patients with aMCI, with an area under curve of 86.7% versus 72.2%. Conclusion We found changes in p-Tau 181 levels may be a suitable biomarker for identifying AD conversion.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of thulium fiber laser enucleation of the prostate(ThuFLEP)in the treatment of oversized(＞200 mL)prostate.Methods:Clinical data of 475 benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)patients operated by the same urologist at Peking University First Hospital from January 2022 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,all of whom were treated with thu-lium fiber laser,and the patients were divided into three groups according to the total volume of the pros-tate(TPV):group A(TPV＜100 mL),group B(100 mL≤TPV＜200 mL),and group C(TPV ≥200 mL).The age of the patients in the three groups[(69.38±7.79)years,(69.64±8.69)years,(70.32±7.44)years],International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS)[(22.7±1.9),(22.8±2.7),(25.8±3.7)],and the maximum urinary flow rate(Qmax)[(7.9±2.7)mL/s,(9.3±4.3)mL/s,(9.9±3.3)mL/s]were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The prostate volume in the three groups[(103.49±46.19)mL,(75.73±30.69)mL,(273.49±49.19)mL]and prostate specific antigen(PSA)[3.52(1.05,8.76)μg/L,6.78(1.61,7.45)μg/L,8.52(5.05,12.76)μg/L]were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Results:All surgeries were successfully completed.The dif-ferences in enucleation time[30.0(21.2,44.5)min,41.6(31.2,52.5)min,45.1(35.2,50.0)min]and hospitalization time[(6.06±1.21)d,(6.15±1.50)d,(7.71±1.74)d]among the three groups were not statistically significant(P＞0.05);and the differences in the postoperative in-dwelling catheter time[(4.0±1.4)d,(4.0±1.3)d,(6.6±1.1)d],operative time[61(42,89)min,82(62,105)min,115(96,142)min],enucleation efficiency[1.29(0.71,1.56)g/min,1.67(1.23,2.15)g/min,2.74(2.20,3.34)g/min],and hemoglobin drop values[12(7,19)g/L,17(11,24)g/L,27(19,35)g/L]were statistically different(P＜0.05).Linear regression ana-lysis was used to show a strong positive linear correlation between enucleation efficiency and enucleation weight(r=0.880,P＜0.001),and the enucleation efficiency increased with the increase of prostate volume.The differences in IPSS[(6.6±1.7),(6.2±1.4),(4.6±1.1)]and Qmax[(18.9±3.1)mL/s,(16.8±3.8)mL/s,(22.9±7.1)mL/s]were not statistically significant among the three groups(P＞0.05),and the differences in IPSS and Qmax were statistically significant compared with those before surgery.The differences were statistically significant in preoperative comparisons,but the postoperative urinary flow rate of group C increased significantly more than the remaining two groups in terms of Qmax(P＜0.05).The patients in the three groups were followed up for 3 months,and post-operative complications were categorized into Clavien-Dindo Ⅰ(urinary retention,persistent hematu-ria),Clavien-Dindo Ⅱ(glandular remnants,urinary tract infection,blood transfusion)and Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ(urethral stenosis,contracture of the bladder neck,and reoperation for hemorrhage)based on the Clavien-Dindo Complications System score,the incidence of Clavien-Dindo in the three groups was 5.2％(13 cases),6.7％(12 cases)and 12.1％(7 cases),respectively,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05);among them,there were statistically significant differences in urinary infection,blood transfusion and bleeding reoperation(P＜0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in the remaining complications(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The risk of blood transfusion and re-hemostasis increases with larger prostate volume,the efficiency of enucleation increases with the increase of prostate vo-lume,and thulium fiber laser prostate enucleation is safe and effective in the treatment of large-volume BPH.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic concordance rates between zonal localization and diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)localization of prostate cancer,and to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of DWI for prostate cancer in the transition zone and peripheral zone.Methods Patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy were selected.5-grade Lik-ert-scale was used to determine the suspicion level of prostate cancer in DWI sequnence.Patients were divided into no suspicious lesion group(91 cases)(grade≤2 points)and suspicious lesion group(194 cases)(grade≥3 points).The t test,Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare the clinicopathological features between the two groups.Multiple regression analysis was used to detect the correlation between DWI grading and pathological features in the suspicious lesion group.Patients were also divided into transition zone and peripheral zone groups according to zonal localization of lesions.The diagnostic concordance rates between DWI image localization and zonal localization in the suspicious lesion group were compared by χ2 test.Results The study included 285 prostate cancer patients,the prostate-specific antigen(PSA),Gleason score,clinical/pathological stages,tumor volume and extracapsular extension of the sus-picious lesion group were higher than those of the no suspicious lesion group with significant differences(P<0.05).Multiple regres-sion test results showed significant positive correlations between DWI grading and pathological features,including pathological Glea-son score,pathological stages,tumor volume and extracapsular extension(P<0.05).The diagnostic concordance rates of DWI for prostate cancer in different zonal origins increased with the increase of DWI grading.The diagnostic concordance rates of peripheral zone group were higher than those of transition zone group,with more significant differences showed in DWI grade>3 points(P<0.05).Conclusion Prostate cancer with higher DWI grading may have more aggressive clinicopathological features,and show a better diag-nostic concordance rate than those with lower DWI grading.In addition,the diagnostic concordance rate of peripheral zone prostate cancer is higher than that of transition zone prostate cancer,with significant differences in higher DWI grading.
