Objective: This study proposes a clustering framework for Chinese materia medica (CMM) based on a large language model (LLM), aiming to explore potential compatibility patterns among CMMs from the semantic perspective of CMM property theory. Methods: First, a CMM property knowledge base was constructed based on Chinese Materia Medica, including 567 commonly used CMMs characterized by four properties, five flavors, and meridian tropism. Then, 49 CMMs derived from 10 prescriptions for Zangdu (脏毒, pathogenic toxins) recorded in Waike Zhengzong (《外科正宗》, Orthodox Manual of External Medicine) and Yangke Xinde Ji (《疡科心得集》, Collected Insights on Ulcer Medicine) were selected as the experimental dataset. Five semantic representation methods—One-Hot, Word2Vec, Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence General Embedding (BGE), and Qwen—were applied to encode CMM property information into vector representations. Subsequently, t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) was used for nonlinear dimensionality reduction on high-dimensional semantic vectors, followed by k-means clustering (k = 7). Clustering performance was evaluated using the Silhouette Score (SS), Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI), and Calinski-Harabasz Index (CHI). Results: The Qwen-based clustering method, CMM-EmbedCluster, achieved the highest SS (0.607 4) and CHI (158.057 2), as well as the lowest DBI (0.499 5), indicating improved cluster separation and compactness compared with other methods. Visualization of CMM clustering results showed that the clusters were well separated in the low-dimensional space, with strong inter-cluster discrimination and high intra-cluster functional consistency. Further interpretability analysis of CMM clustering results revealed stable structural differences among clusters in terms of four properties, five flavors, and meridian tropism, forming functional partitions consistent with CMM property theory. Conclusion CMM-EmbedCluster utilizes an LLM to achieve semantic-level representation and clustering of CMMs within the framework of CMM property theory, providing support for exploring potential compatibility patterns among CMMs from the perspective of CMM property semantics.

Objective: To explore the regulatory role of paternal involvement in parenting in the association between parental adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and autism like behavioral problems in children aged 3-6, so as to provide a basis for intervention strategies targeting the intergenerational health effects of ACEs. Methods: A longitudinal study design was used to select 1 780 children aged 3-6 from 12 kindergartens in Wuhu City, Anhui Province in June 2021 as the subjects of the baseline survey by convenient sampling, and the follow up surveys were conducted once every six months, for a total of two follow ups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the association of parental ACEs and paternal involvement in parenting with autism like behavioral problems in children. A binary Logistic regression model was used to explore the association between parental ACEs and autism like behavioral problems in children. Based on stratification, the potential role of paternal involvement in the association between parental ACEs and autism like behavioral problems in children aged 3-6 was explored. Results: Autism like behavioral problem score in children aged 3-6 was positively correlated with the total score ACEs of parents as well as scores of emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, physical neglect, community violence, peer bullying, and family dysfunction( r =0.18,0.16,0.18,0.14,0.06,0.05,0.12,0.18,0.09,all P <0.05). Autism like behavioral problem score in children was negatively correlated with score of paternal involvement in parenting( r =-0.16, P <0.01). After adjusting for covariates such as gender, age, and birth weight of children, binary Logistic regression analysis showed that children whose parents had experiences of childhood emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, community violence, peer bullying, or family dysfunction had higher risks of developing autism like behavioral problems than those in the non exposed group ( OR =3.29, 3.28, 6.71, 2.34, 4.08, 2.02, all P <0.01). In the group with low paternal involvement in parenting, all dimensions of parental ACEs(emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, community violence, peer bullying, and family dysfunction) were significantly associated with an increased risk of autism like behavioral problems in children ( OR =1.84-8.34, all P <0.05). In contrast, in the group with high paternal involvement in parenting, no statistically significant associations were found between any dimension of parental ACEs and children s autism like behavioral problems ( OR =0.57-1.82, all P >0.05). Conclusion A high level of paternal involvement in parenting can reduce the adverse effects of parental ACEs on the occurrence of autism like behaviors in preschool children.

Purpose To explore the relationship between the proportion of HER2 low expression and clinicopatho-logical characteristics of gastric adenocarcinoma patients.Methods Clinical data from 3 779 gastric adenocarcinoma patients who underwent radical resection were collected.HER2 expression was categorized using immunohistochemistry combined with FISH,and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of HER2 low expression gastric adeno-carcinoma patients were analyzed.Results Among the 3 779 gastric adenocarcinoma cases,1 251 cases(33.10％)showed HER2 low expression.Compared with HER2 negative expression,HER2 low expression patients were more likely to be older males,present with well-differentiated Lauren's intestinal-type adenocarcinoma,and have less nerve invasion.Furthermore,compared to HER2 negative expression,they showed higher Ki67 proliferation index and more advanced clinical stage.Meanwhile,compared with patients with HER2 over expression,those with low HER2 expres-sion were more likely to be younger females,present with well-differentiated Lauren's diffuse-type adenocarcinoma,and have more nerve invasion.Furthermore,compared to HER2 over expression,they showed lower Ki67 proliferation index and more advanced clinical stage.There was no significant difference in prognosis between HER2 low expression,HER2 negative,and HER2 over expression groups.Conclusion HER2 low expression have a relatively large propor-tion in gastric adenocarcinoma patients,and HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates may provide an effective treatment option for these patients with HER2 low expression.

Objective To investigate the risk of thoracoabdominal injuries in six-year-old child occupants in a reclined seating posture during frontal collisions,and provide a reference for developing child restraint systems(CRS).Methods Three validated biomechanical models of six-year-old child occupants in different seating postures with detailed anatomical structures were used.The acceleration curve from a sport utility vehicle crash test was applied to analyze the effects of seating posture on thoracic motion trajectory,chest acceleration,thoracoabdominal compression,viscous criterion(VC)of the chest and abdomen,internal organ strain,and spinal stress.Results Thoracic motion trajectories varied in the Z-direction under three seating postures.As the upper torso angle increased,thoracoabdominal kinematic injury parameters showed an upward trend.The thoracic and abdominal VC under 120° and 135° posture increased by 67％and 113％,10.7％and 25％compared with that under 105° standard sitting posture.The risk of thoracic internal organ injury was inversely related to the seating angle,while the risk of abdominal internal organ injury was positively related to the seating angle.The primary spinal injury mechanism was compression-flexion.Conclusions CRS protection evaluation should comprehensively consider thoracoabdominal kinematic parameters,internal organ biomechanics,and spinal injury risk.These findings have important implications for CRS development in intelligent driving systems and occupant protection strategy formulation.

Objective:To investigate the longitudinal mutual predictive relationship between college students' psychological capital and meaning in life across time.Methods:A total of 604 college students were selected for a one-year two-stage longitudinal tracking(T1 and T2),using the Psychological Capital Questionnaire for Adolescent Students(PC-QAS)and Chinese Meaning in Life Questionnaire(C-MLQ)for measurement.Results:The T1 PC-QAS scores were positively correlated with the T1 C-MLQ scores and T2 PC-QAS scores(r=0.61,0.51,Ps＜0.001).The T2 C-MLQ scores were positively correlated with the T2 PC-QAS scores and T1 C-MLQ scores(r=0.58,0.57,Ps＜0.001).The results of cross lagged regression analysis indicated that the T1 PC-QAS scores posi-tively predicted the T2 C-MLQ scores(β=0.15,P＜0.001),and T1 C-MLQ scores positively predicted T2 PC-QAS scores(β=0.19,P＜0.01).Conclusion:The psychological capital and meaning in life of college students have a certain degree of stability,and the two could predict each other.

Based on CT scan data,a bionic model of lumbar spine injuries with high biofidelity is developed and validated through cadaver experiments.Decoupling the constraint system that affects occupants during collisions due to inertial forces and the subsequent pressure exerted by the seat upon returning to position,a simulated fall experiment is designed.The simulated outcomes are trained and predicted using deep learning algorithms,and the accuracy of the trained neural network prediction model is verified.Key parameters are analyzed for correlation using principal component analysis and cross-reverse methods.The results shows that the predicted lumbar spine injury model obtained from training has high reliability(R2>0.9).Comprehensive analysis reveals that after experiencing axial impact,the L4 vertebral body bears the highest impact load and can be used as a representative measure of lumbar spine injury.Among the environmental variables,the axial force on the L4 lumbar spine is mainly affected by torso mass and fall height,both of which have positive correlations.Torso mass,fall height,and posture angle all have positive effects on internal energy.Conversely,torso mass and fall height have negative correlations with stress.These research findings provide a scientific basis for further elucidating lumbar spine injury mechanisms in intelligent cockpit environments,devising corresponding safety protection measures,and evaluating occupant safety in automobiles.

Objective To investigate the effect of moxibustion on different phenotypic expression of macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into the blank group,the model group and the moxibustion group,with 10 rats in each group.Rats in the model group and the moxibustion group were injected with complete Freund's adjuvant(CFA)into right foot pad to prepare RA model.The moxibustion group received moxibustion treatment.The blank group was injected with the same amount of normal saline.The thickness of foot pad was measure and arthritis index score was performed.Pathological changes of joints were observed by hematoxylin eosin staining(HE),and the expressions of CD80,CD163 and SPP1 in macrophages of synovial tissue were detected by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with the blank group,arthritis index score and thickness of foot pad were increased in the model group and the moxibustion group(P＜0.05).After moxibustion treatment,compared with the model group,the score of arthritis index and thickness of foot pad were decreased in the moxibustion group(P＜0.05).HE staining showed joint space narrowing,subchondral bone destruction and inflammatory cell infiltration in the model group.The degree of joint space narrowing,subchondral bone destruction and inflammatory cell infiltration were less in the moxibustion group than those in the model group.Compared with the blank group,the scores of synovial tissue hyperplasia,synovial fibrous tissue hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration increased in the model group.Compared with the model group,scores of synovial tissue hyperplasia,fibrous tissue hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration decreased in the moxibustion group(P＜0.05).Results of immunofluorescence detection showed that compared with the blank group,the expressions of CD80 and SPP1 in synovial tissue were up-regulated in the model group,while the expression of CD163 was down-regulated.Compared with the model group,the expressions of CD80 and SPP1 were down-regulated,and the expression of CD163 was up-regulated in the moxibustion group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion can regulate the expression of different phenotypes of macrophages and reduce synovial inflammation of RA.The mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of different phenotypes of macrophages.
