OBJECTIVE To construct an intelligent pharmaceutical Q&A platform for precision medication with low “artificial intelligence (AI) hallucination”, aiming to enhance the accuracy, consistency, and traceability of medication consultations. METHODS Medication package inserts were batch-processed and converted into structured data through Python programming to build a local pharmaceutical knowledge base. The retrieval and question-answering processes were designed based on large language models, and system integration and localized deployment were completed on Dify platform. By designing typical clinical medication questions and comparing the output of the intelligent pharmaceutical Q&A platform with the online version of DeepSeek across dimensions such as peak time retrieval, half-life, and dosage adjustment reasoning for patients with renal impairment, the accuracy and reliability of its retrieval and reasoning results were evaluated. RESULTS The intelligent pharmaceutical Q&A platform, constructed based on local drug package inserts, achieved 100% accuracy in retrieval and reasoning for peak time, half-life, and dosage adjustment schemes. In comparison, the online version of DeepSeek demonstrated accuracies of 30%(6/20), 50%(10/20), and 38%(23/60) across these three dimensions, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The constructed intelligent pharmaceutical Q&A platform is capable of accurately retrieving and extracting information from the local knowledge base based on clinical inquiries, thereby avoiding the occurrence of AI hallucinations and providing reliable medication decision support for healthcare professionals.

Based on ancient and modern literature, this paper systematically elucidates the concept, physiological characteristics, and reproductive significance of tiangui (天癸), and further reviews its theoretical connotation throughout the entire process of male reproductive function, covering its onset, maturation, maintenance, disorder, and decline. In terms of its physiological foundation, tiangui is rooted in kidney essence and regulates male reproductive function through the coordination of zang-fu (脏腑) organs. It possesses characteristics of being time-limited, rhythmic, relatively independent, targeted, and functionally diverse. The occurrence of male reproductive diseases is closely related to the abnormality of tiangui, which primarily manifests as tiangui deficiency and dysregulation of tiangui timing. In clinical practice, treatment should follow the principle of "supplementing its deficiency and regulating its timing", so as to restore the operating rhythm of tiangui.

Objective:To investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) on the core symptoms, brain functional connectivity and activation in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).Methods:From September 2022 to March 2024, a total of 35 children with ADHD were selected as research subjects and they were randomly divided into observation group ( n=17) and control group ( n=18). The control group received conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the observation group received rTMS therapy in addition to the conventional therapy. Both groups were treated every other day, with each course of treatment lasting four weeks, and a total of three courses of treatment were administered consecutively. The clinical symptoms of the children with ADHD were assessed using Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham-Ⅳ(SNAP-Ⅳ) before and after treatment. fNIRS was used to detect the relative concentration changes of oxyhemoglobin (HbO 2) and deoxyhemoglobin (HbR) in the prefrontal cortex under resting-state and Go/Nogo task conditions before and after treatment. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 software. Paired sample t-test were used for within-group comparisons, and independent sample t-test were used for between-group comparisons. Results:(1) After treatment, the scores for inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity and oppositional defiant behavior in the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment ( t=3.51-18.86, all P<0.05). The scores for inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity and oppositional defiant behavior in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=2.21, 2.03, 2.39, all P<0.05). (2) After treatment, the functional connectivity strength between all regions of interest in both groups was significantly higher than before treatment ( t=3.53-37.90, all P<0.05). The functional connectivity strength of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (0.25±0.03, 0.21±0.03), right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (0.12±0.02, 0.09±0.02), left medial prefrontal cortex (0.13±0.02, 0.10±0.01) and right medial prefrontal cortex (0.31±0.04, 0.24±0.06) in the observation group was significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). (3) In the Go/Nogo task, after treatment, the average HbO 2 concentrations in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, left medial prefrontal cortex, right medial prefrontal cortex, left temporal lobe, and right temporal lobe in both groups were all higher than before treatment (all P<0.05). After treatment, the average HbO 2 concentrations in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, left medial prefrontal cortex and right medial prefrontal cortex of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:rTMS therapy can improve the core symptoms of children with ADHD, which may be related to the strength of brain functional connectivity and activation of ADHD brain function by rTMS.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) in the treatment of degenerative scoliosis.Methods:The clinical studies of OLIF in the treatment of degenerative scoliosis published up to May 2024 were searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP, Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Cobb's angle of coronal convexity, pelvic tilt (PT), lumbar lordosis (LL), sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were extracted to compare the changes of the indexes before and after surgery. The methodological index for non-randomised studies (MINORS) was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature. Stata 18.0 statistical software was used for the meta-analysis. When the heterogeneity between groups was small, the fixed-effect model was used for analysis, and when the heterogeneity between groups was large, the random-effect model was used for analysis.Results:A total of 152 patients from 7 articles were included in the meta-analysis, including 3 in Chinese and 4 in English, with MINORS scores ranging from 17 to 22. Meta-analysis showed that OLIF for treating degenerative scoliosis was effective in reducing postoperative VAS score [ SMD=-4.74, 95% CI(-5.26, -4.21), P<0.001], ODI [ SMD=-6.21, 95% CI(-8.02, -4.41), P<0.001], coronal plane scoliosis Cobb angle[ SMD=-2.50, 95% CI(-3.22, -1.78), P<0.001], PT [ SMD=-0.73, 95% CI(-1.14, -0.33), P<0.001], and SVA [ SMD=-1.01, 95% CI(-1.75, -0.28), P=0.007], and significantly improved postoperative LL [ SMD=1.16, 95% CI(0.65, 1.68), P<0.001]. Conclusion:OLIF for treating degenerative scoliosis can effectively relieve pain, improve spinal function, and correct coronal facet scoliosis deformity.
