Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss, with few effective treatments currently available. The multifactorial nature of AD, shaped by genetic, environmental, and biological factors, complicates both research and clinical management. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and multi-omics technologies provide new opportunities to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AD and identify early biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. AI-driven approaches such as machine learning, deep learning, and network-based models have enabled the integration of large-scale genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and microbiomic datasets. These efforts have facilitated the discovery of novel molecular signatures and therapeutic targets. Methods including deep belief networks and joint deep semi-non-negative matrix factorization have contributed to improvements in disease classification and patient stratification. However, ongoing challenges remain. These include data heterogeneity, limited interpretability of complex models, a lack of large and diverse datasets, and insufficient clinical validation. The absence of standardized multi-omics data processing methods further restricts progress. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in AI-driven multi-omics research in AD, highlighting achievements in early diagnosis and biomarker discovery while discussing limitations and future directions needed to advance these approaches toward clinical application.

Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are a structurally diverse group of plant metabolites renowned for their pharmacological properties. However, sustainable sources for these compounds remain limited. Consequently, researchers are focusing on elucidating BIA biosynthetic pathways and genes to explore alternative sources using synthetic biology approaches. CYP80B, a family of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes, plays a crucial role in BIA biosynthesis. Previously reported CYP80Bs are known to catalyze the 3'-hydroxylation of (S)-N-methylcoclaurine, with the N-methyl group essential for catalytic activity. In this study, we successfully cloned a full-length CYP80B gene (StCYP80B) from Stephania tetrandra (S. tetrandra) and identified its function using a yeast heterologous expression system. Both in vivo yeast feeding and in vitro enzyme analysis demonstrated that StCYP80B could catalyze N-methylcoclaurine and coclaurine into their respective 3'-hydroxylated products. Notably, StCYP80B exhibited an expanded substrate selectivity compared to previously reported wild-type CYP80Bs, as it did not require an N-methyl group for hydroxylase activity. Furthermore, StCYP80B displayed a clear preference for the (S)-configuration. Co-expression of StCYP80B with the CYP450 reductases (CPRs, StCPR1, and StCPR2), also cloned from S. tetrandra, significantly enhanced the catalytic activity towards (S)-coclaurine. Site-directed mutagenesis of StCYP80B revealed that the residue H205 is crucial for coclaurine catalysis. Additionally, StCYP80B exhibited tissue-specific expression in plants. This study provides new genetic resources for the biosynthesis of BIAs and further elucidates their synthetic pathway in natural plant systems.

Objective:To investigate the spatial distribution patterns of local tumor progression（LTP）after microwave ablation（MWA）for colorectal liver metastases（CRLMs）and identify high-risk progression zones.Methods:A total of 471 CRLM lesions from 246 patients treated with MWA at the Chinese PLA General Hospital between September 2009 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Three-dimensional visualized MRI image fusion technology was employed to evaluate the spatial relationship between ablation margins（AM）and LTP. The liver was partitioned into nine specific anatomical regions. Machine learning（Boruta algorithm）was used to assess the importance of these regions on LTP risk. Multivariate analysis of LTP was performed at the tumor level and at the patient level using the Cox mixed effects model and the Cox regression model，respectively.Results:LTP occurred in 115 lesions，with an LTP rate of 40.0%（80/200）in ablated lesions which were located in the high-risk progression area，and 12.9%（35/271）in low-risk progression area. Multivariate analysis identified AM < 5 mm，tumor size ≥3 cm and location in high-risk zones as independent risk factors for LTP. Notably，LTP in high-risk zones predominantly clustered around the ablation needle tip.Conclusions:Post-MWA LTP in CRLMs exhibits distinct spatial clustering，particularly at the needle tip within high-risk progression zones. These findings provide critical insights for optimizing ablation strategies and improving clinical outcomes.

Objective:To excplore the risk factors for myocardial damage in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the value of application of resting gated nuclear myocardial imaging.Methods:A total of 64 lupus patients who were hospitalized in Wuxi People′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were included, and the patients′ clinical data, imaging data, and test reports were retrospectively analyzed using paired χ2 test, t test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Mann-Whitney U test, and binary logistic regression analysis. Results:①Among the 64 patients with lupus, 19(29.7%) had abnormal radionuclide myocardial imaging, 23 (35.9%) had elevated BNP, and 6 (9.4%) had myocardial involvement on echocardiography. There was no statistical difference between radionuclide myocardial imaging and BNP ( Kappa=0.294, P=0.503), but there was a significant difference between radionuclide myocardial imaging and echocardiography ( Kappa=0.394, P<0.001). ②There was no statistical difference in the EF values measured by resting gated myocardial radionuclide imaging and echocardiography [(64.9±9.6)% vs. (63.2±5.6)%, Z=-1.73, P=0.083]. ③Compared with the normal myocardial group, the myocardial damage group had higher BNP value [(912±1729)pg/ml vs. (297±572)pg/ml, t=-3.05, P=0.002], ESR[(56±42)mm/1 h vs. (34±27)mm/1 h, t=-2.17, P=0.030], and SDI scores[2.16±1.30 vs. 1.04±0.85, t=-3.43, P=0.002], more patients with a course of disease≥10 years [57.9% vs. 28.9%, Z=2.17, P=0.030], and anti-U1RNP antibody[52.6% 24.4%, Z=-2.18, P=0.029] and anti-SSB antibody[31.6% vs. 11.1% Z=-1.97, P=0.049] were statistically different. ④Through binary logistic regression analysis, SDI score [ OR ( 95%CI)=2.444 (1.195, 4.998), P=0.014], anti-U1RNP antibody [ OR ( 95%CI)=4.569 (1.036, 20.150), P=0.045] and disease duration≥10 years [ OR ( 95%CI)=5.218 (1.210, 22.496), P=0.027] were independent risk factors for myocardial damage in SLE patients. Conclusion:Resting gated radionuclide myocardial imaging can accurately provide ventricular motion parameters and can detect myocardial damage in SLE patients at early stage. Disease duration ≥10 years, high SDI score, and positive anti-U1RNP antibodies are independent risk factors for myocardial damage in SLE patients.

Objective To analyze three-dimensional imaging characteristics and advantages for severe portal vein stenosis after liver transplantation, and to evaluate clinical efficacy of portal vein stent implantation. Methods Clinical data of 10 patients who received portal vein stent implantation for severe portal vein stenosis after liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging characteristics of severe portal vein stenosis, and advantages of three-dimensional reconstruction imaging and interventional treatment efficacy for severe portal vein stenosis were analyzed. Results Among 10 patients, 3 cases were diagnosed with centripetal stenosis, tortuosity angulation-induced stenosis in 2 cases, compression-induced stenosis in 2 cases, long-segment stenosis and/or vascular occlusion in 3 cases. Three-dimensional reconstruction images possessed advantages in accurate identification of stenosis, identification of stenosis types and measurement of stenosis length. All patients were successfully implanted with portal vein stents. After stent implantation, the diameter of the minimum diameter of portal vein was increased [(6.2±0.9) mm vs. (2.6±1.7) mm, P<0.05], the flow velocity at anastomotic site was decreased [(57±19) cm/s vs. (128±27) cm/s, P<0.05], and the flow velocity at the portal vein adjacent to the liver was increased [(41±6) cm/s vs. (18±6) cm/s, P<0.05]. One patient suffered from intrahepatic hematoma caused by interventional puncture, which was mitigated after conservative observation and treatment. The remaining patients did not experience relevant complications. Conclusions Three-dimensional visualization technique may visually display the location, characteristics and severity of stenosis, which is beneficial for clinicians to make treatment decisions and assist interventional procedures. Timely implantation of portal vein stent may effectively reverse pathological process and improve portal vein blood flow.

Objective To investigate the effect of respiratory training based on core stability training on feedforward control in pa-tients with chronic nonspecific low back pain(CNLBP). Methods A total of 60 patients with CNLBP in Jiaxing Second Hospital from January,2022 to March,2023 were ran-domly divided into control group(n=30)and experimental group(n=30).Both groups received health educa-tion,physical factor therapy and core stability training,while the experimental group received respiratory training in addition,for four weeks.Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,Japanese Orthopaedic Association low back pain(JOA)score and Oswestry Dysfunction Index(ODI)were compared between two groups before and after treat-ment,while surface electromyography was used to detect the root mean square(RMS)and integrated electromy-ography(iEMG)of transversus abdominis,multifidus and triceps(movement muscles),and the activation se-quence and relative activation time of transversus abdominis,multifidus and triceps were calculated. Results After treatment,the scores of VAS,JOA and ODI improved significantly in both groups(|t|>8.515,P<0.001),and the scores were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.089,P<0.05).RMS and iEMG of transversus abdominis and multifidus improved significantly after treatment in both groups(|t|>18.831,P<0.001),and were significantly better in the experimental group(|t|>3.481,P<0.05).The transversus abdominis and multifidus in both groups were activated before the movement muscles,and the relative activation time of transversus abdominis and multifidus increased in negative(|t|>48.115,P<0.001),the experimental group being better(|t|>3.229,P<0.05). Conclusion Combination of core stability training and respiratory training is beneficial in reducing the pain of patients with CNLBP,reducing the lumbar dysfunction,improving the order of muscle activation,and strengthening feed-forward control.
