ObjectiveTo construct a large language model （LLM）-based intelligent pre-consultation system for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） to improve efficacy of clinical practice. MethodsA TCM large language model was fine-tuned using DeepSpeed ZeRO-3 distributed training strategy based on YAYI 2-30B. A weighted undirected graph network was designed and an agent-based syndrome differentiation model was established based on relationship data extracted from TCM literature and clinical records. An agent collaboration framework was developed to integrate the TCM LLM with the syndrome differentiation model. Model performance was comprehensively evaluated by Loss function， BLEU-4， and ROUGE-L metrics， through which training convergence， text generation quality， and language understanding capability were assessed. Professional knowledge test sets were developed to evaluate system proficiency in TCM physician licensure content， TCM pharmacist licensure content， TCM symptom terminology recognition， and meridian identification. Clinical tests were conducted to compare the system with attending physicians in terms of diagnostic accuracy， consultation rounds， and consultation duration. ResultsAfter 100 000 iterations， the training loss value was gradually stabilized at about 0.7±0.08， indicating that the TCM-LLM has been trained and has good generalization ability. The TCM-LLM scored 0.38 in BLEU-4 and 0.62 in ROUGE-L， suggesting that its natural language processing ability meets the standard. We obtained 2715 symptom terms， 505 relationships between diseases and syndromes， 1011 relationships between diseases and main symptoms， and 1 303 600 relationships among different symptoms， and constructed the Agent of syndrome differentiation model. The accuracy rates in the simulated tests for TCM practitioners， licensed pharmacists of Chinese materia medica， recognition of TCM symptom terminology， and meridian recognition were 94.09%， 78.00%， 87.50%， and 68.80%， respectively. In clinical tests， the syndrome differentiation accuracy of the system reached 88.33%， with fewer consultation rounds and shorter consultation time compared to the attending physicians （P＜0.01）， suggesting that the system has a certain pre- consultation ability. ConclusionThe LLM-based intelligent TCM pre-diagnosis system could simulate diagnostic thinking of TCM physicians to a certain extent. After understanding the patients' natural language， it collects all the patient's symptom through guided questioning， thereby enhancing the diagnostic and treatment efficiency of physicians as well as the consultation experience of the patients.

Aiming at the problems of tongue diagnosis instruments relying on manual operation,uneven illumination,color distortion and lack of dynamic information,an automated operation black box tongue diagnosis instrument based on machine vision is proposed.This instrument utilizes machine vision technology and image processing algorithms to achieve automatic positioning and automatic acquisition of tongue manifestations.High-resolution camera technology enables the acquisition of 3-second dynamic videos and high-quality static images.The performance test results show that,based on the dual-camera geometric projection calibration algorithm,the average time for tongue recognition is less than 0.15 seconds.The diffuse reflection light source improves the gray uniformity to 76.74%,and the maximum color difference in color reproduction degree is 19,which is better than the industry standard value of 25.The developed tongue diagnosis instrument will promote the objective,efficient and precise acquisition of tongue diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE： To establish the method for content determination of the related substance in fudosteine raw material and its preparations. METHODS： Fudosteine or its preparations produced by 8 domestic enterprises were taken as samples. HPLC method （external standard） was used to determine the contents of impurities A， B and C. The separation was performed on MGⅡ C18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.12％ sodium hexane sulfonate solution （pH 2.0） at flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 210 nm， column temperature was 35 ℃ and sample size was 20 μL. The contents of impurities E， F， G were determined by HPLC method （principal component self-contrast method with correction factor）. The separation was performed on Altech Altima C18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.05 mol/L phosphate buffer-acetonitrile- water （gradient elution） at the flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 200 nm， and the column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 20 μL. RESULTS： The linear ranges of impurity A， B， C， E， F and G were 0.446-22.291， 0.202-20.158， 0.101-12.082， 0.111 0-11.100， 0.210 4-10.520， 0.221 6-11.080 μg/mL， respectively. The limits of detection were 5.57， 1.01， 1.99， 2.22， 4.21， 4.43 ng， respectively. The limits of quantitation were 11.14， 2.02， 3.98， 4.45， 8.42， 8.85 ng， respectively.
