Objective: To develop a clinical decision and prescription generation system (CDPGS) specifically for diarrhea in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), utilizing a specialized large language model (LLM), Qwen-TCM-Dia, to standardize diagnostic processes and prescription generation. Methods: Two primary datasets were constructed: an evaluation benchmark and a fine-tuning dataset consisting of fundamental diarrhea knowledge, medical records, and chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning datasets. After an initial evaluation of 16 open-source LLMs across inference time, accuracy, and output quality, Qwen2.5 was selected as the base model due to its superior overall performance. We then employed a two-stage low-rank adaptation (LoRA) fine-tuning strategy, integrating continued pre-training on domain-specific knowledge with instruction fine-tuning using CoT-enriched medical records. This approach was designed to embed the clinical logic (symptoms → pathogenesis → therapeutic principles → prescriptions) into the model’s reasoning capabilities. The resulting fine-tuned model, specialized for TCM diarrhea, was designated as Qwen-TCM-Dia. Model performance was evaluated for disease diagnosis and syndrome type differentiation using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Furthermore, the quality of the generated prescriptions was compared with that of established open-source TCM LLMs. Results: Qwen-TCM-Dia achieved peak performance compared to both the base Qwen2.5 model and five other open-source TCM LLMs. It achieved 97.05% accuracy and 91.48% F1-score in disease diagnosis, and 74.54% accuracy and 74.21% F1-score in syndrome type differentiation. Compared with existing open-source TCM LLMs (BianCang, HuangDi, LingDan, TCMLLM-PR, and ZhongJing), Qwen-TCM-Dia exhibited higher fidelity in reconstructing the “symptoms → pathogenesis → therapeutic principles → prescriptions” logic chain. It provided complete prescriptions, whereas other models often omitted dosages or generated mismatched prescriptions. Conclusion By integrating continued pre-training, CoT reasoning, and a two-stage fine-tuning strategy, this study establishes a CDPGS for diarrhea in TCM. The results demonstrate the synergistic effect of strengthening domain representation through pre-training and activating logical reasoning via CoT. This research not only provides critical technical support for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of diarrhea but also offers a scalable paradigm for the digital inheritance of expert TCM experience and the intelligent transformation of TCM.

Objective To establish a rat model of ovarian endometriosis(EMS)using the horn reversion method,to provide an ideal animal model for exploring the pathogenesis and treatment of EMS.Methods Fifty SPF-grade female SD rats were divided randomly into five groups:a sham group,and 1,2,3,and 4 weeks after surgery groups,respectively(n=10 rats per group).Apart from the sham group,an ovarian-type EMS model was established in the other groups by the uterine horn refracture method,and the modeling success rate,and ectopic foci volume and mass were observed in each group.The morphology of ectopic foci was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE),and expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),Ki67,epithelial cadherin(E-cadherin),and neural cadherin(N-cadherin)in the uterus and ectopic foci tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.The model was further evaluated and the degree of cell proliferation and epithelial mesenchymal transformation at different times after modeling were analyzed.Results The modeling success rates in the 1,2,3,and 4 weeks after surgery groups were 80%,90%,100%,and 100%,respectively(P＞0.05).The volume and mass of the ectopic foci were significantly greater in the 3 and 4 weeks after surgery groups compared with the 1 and 2 weeks after surgery groups(P＜0.01).HE staining showed endometrial epithelial cells,mesenchymal cells and a few glands in the ectopic foci tissues.Immunohistochemical staining showed that expression levels of Ki67,PCNA,and N-cadherin in uterus tissues were significantly higher(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)in all the model groups compared with the sham group,while expression levels of E-cadherin were significantly lower(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Expression levels of Ki67,PCNA,and N-cadherin in the uterus and ectopic foci tissues were significantly higher(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)in the 2,3,and 4 weeks after surgery groups compared with the 1 week after surgery group,while expression levels of E-cadherin were significantly lower(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion The uterine horn reversion method can be used to establish an ovarian EMS model in rats.Ectopic lesions can be observed 1 week after surgery.The success rate of modeling increases with modeling time,stabilizing at 3 weeks postoperatively.Ki67,PCNA,and N-cadherin were significantly expressed in the uterus and ectopic foci tissues,and their expression levels increased with modeling time,while E-cadherin expression in the uterus and ectopic foci tissues decreased with modeling time.These results showed good modeling success of the EMS rat model,suggesting that it could be used as a stable EMS modeling method.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of the combination of umbilical moxibustion and estradiol valerat in patients with thin endometrium.Methods A random number table was used to randomly divide 60 patients with thin endometrium of kidney deficiency and blood stasis type who met the inclusion criteria into an observation group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases.The control group took oral estradiol valerate tablets(DELPHARMLille S.A.S.,specification:1 mg/tablet),2 mg/day(bid),continuously for 21 days starting from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle;On the basis of the control group,the observation group was treated with herbal moxibustion on the navel,starting from the 7th day of the menstrual cycle,once a week,with an interval of 5-7 days.No treatment was given during the menstrual cycle,and both groups were treated continuously for three menstrual cycles.Observe the changes in endometrial thickness,Gonen classification of endometrium,uterine artery pulsatility index,resistance index,and traditional Chinese medicine clinical symptom score before and after treatment in two groups of patients.Results After treatment,the endometrial thickness of the two groups of patients increased(P<0.01),while the uterine artery pulsatility index and resistance index decreased compared to before(P<0.01).The total score of traditional Chinese medicine clinical symptoms decreased compared to before treatment(P<0.01).The above indicators were better in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).But the endometrial classification between the two groups of patients was no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of umbilical moxibustion and estradiol valerate can effectively promote uterine artery blood flow perfusion in patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis type thin endometrium,reduce uterine artery pulsatility index and resistance index,increase the thickness of endometrium,and improve the clinical symptom score of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To investigate the high-risk factors for early postoperative recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM).Methods:The clinical data of 156 CRLM patients who underwent hepatic metastasectomy at the Li Huili Hospital, Ningbo University from Jan 2015 to Dec 2021 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among 156 patients, the postoperative recurrence rate was 55.8% (87/156).There were significant differences ( P<0.05) in the primary tumor site, T stage, TBS score, preoperative concentrations of CEA, CA199 and CA125, the maximum diameter of metastatic tumors and the number of metastatic tumors between the group with recurrence in one year and the group without recurrence in one year. Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative CA125 concentration ( OR=1.021, P=0.020), CEA concentration ( OR=1.044, P=0.018), and tumor burden score ( OR=3.067, P=0.011) were high risk factors influencing early recurrence ( P<0.05). In the low TBS score group(≤4), among the 49 patients who underwent simultaneous resection, 13 suffered from recurrence within 1 year, with a recurrence rate of 26.5%. Meanwhile, among the 29 patients who underwent staged resection, 17 suffered from recurrence within 1 year, with a recurrence rate of 58.6% ( P<0.05). In the high TBS score group(>4), among the 51 patients who underwent simultaneous resection, 37 suffered from recurrence within 1 year, with a recurrence rate of 72.5%, while in the 27 patients who underwent staged resection, 20 suffered from recurrence within 1 year, with a recurrence rate of 74.1% ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative TBS score, preoperative CA125 concentration, and CEA concentration are high-risk factors for postoperative recurrence in patients with colorectal liver metastases, simultaneous resection in patients with a low TBS score can reduce the risk of recurrence within 1 year after surgery.
