Journal of Sun Yat-sen University(Medical Sciences) 2026;47(1):77-83
In recent years, with the emergence of large language models like ChatGPT and DeepSeek into the public domain, artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most rapidly developing fields of the 21st century. As AI continues to evolve, new models are constantly emerging, particularly through the integration of multimodal data that enables more comprehensive information capture and analysis, demonstrating significant value in supporting clinical anesthesia decision-making. Preoperatively, AI can assist in evaluating patients’ overall health status, aid in selecting appropriate anesthesia methods, and predict potential risks such as difficult airways. Intraoperatively, AI can collaborate with anesthesiologists to monitor physiological parameters and optimize anesthesia management strategies, especially in predicting hypotension and improving automated drug infusion control systems. Postoperatively, AI can predict pulmonary complications, postoperative delirium, and major adverse cardiovascular events, thereby accelerating recovery and improving long-term survival.This article analyzes recent advances in AI technology in medicine worldwide, systematically reviews its application scenarios in clinical anesthesia, and provides detailed accounts of progress in preoperative risk assessment, formulation of personalized anesthesia plans, intraoperative monitoring and decision support, postoperative recovery, and long-term follow-up. It further highlights the need for future research to strengthen multimodal database construction, enhance model generalizability, develop explainable frameworks, and improve ethical governance. By summarizing current achievements and challenges, this review offers valuable reference for anesthesiologists and researchers, underscores the role of AI in driving the intelligent transformation of anesthesiology, and provides guidance for subsequent research directions.

This study aims to describe the population and regional distribution characteristics of smoking behavior among adult twins in the China Twin Registry (CNTR), as well as the concordance rates for smoking behavior in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, and estimate the heritability. The study population included adult twins in CNTR who had smoking questionnaire data. A random-effects regression model was used to describe the distribution of smoking behavior among different subgroups based on various characteristics. The concordance of smoking behavior between different zygosity groups was calculated, and heritability was estimated. A total of 28 444 twin pairs were included in this study, with an average age of (36.6±12.0) years. Among male twins, 41.2% were current smokers, while only 1.2% of females smoked. Higher smoking rates were observed among male smokers in the 50-59 age group ( z=23.0, P<0.001), northern regions ( z=2.9, P<0.01), rural areas ( z=-5.2, P<0.001), those who were divorced/widowed ( z=3.8, P<0.001), and first-born twins ( z=-4.3, P<0.001), while lower smoking rates were found in those with higher education ( z=-16.1, P<0.001) and unmarried individuals ( z=-16.0, P<0.001). The smoking concordance rate for male monozygotic twins was 69.6%, significantly higher than the 57.3% concordance rate for dizygotic twins ( χ 2=105.0, P<0.05). The heritability of smoking behavior in male twins was estimated at 28.9% (95% CI: 24.3%-33.4%). Stratified analyses showed differences in heritability across regions and age groups: the heritability in northern regions was 32.6% (95% CI: 27.3%-38.0%), higher than the 21.0% (95% CI: 12.4%-29.5%) observed in southern regions; the highest heritability of 35.1% (95% CI: 26.3%-43.9%) was found in the 18-29 age group, with heritability decreasing with age. In conclusion, the smoking rate and influencing factors in the twin population are similar to those in the general population, with unique characteristics, such as higher smoking rates in first-born twins. Genetic factors have a significant impact on smoking behavior.

Objective:To describe the distribution characteristics of alcohol consumption in adult twins in the Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR), and further explore the influence of genetic factors on alcohol consumption in adult twins.Methods:The subjects of the study were twins registered by CNTR in 11 project areas across China from 2010 to 2018. A total of 56 966 twins (28 483 pairs) aged 18 years and above who answered questions about drinking behavior were included, and the random effect model was used to describe the population and regional distribution characteristics of alcohol consumption. Intra-pair analysis was performed to calculate the concordance rate and heritability of their alcohol consumption.Results:The age of all subjects was (36.6±12.0) years, and current drinkers accounted for 16.6% (9 461/56 966) of all subjects. In men, those aged 50-59 years, those in northern China, those living in rural area, those with low education level and those with high BMI, the proportions of current drinkers were higher. After excluding 468 pairs of twins who had stopped alcohol use and 21 764 pairs of twins who had no drink or had small amount drink, an intra-pair analysis was conducted in 4 929 pairs of same-sex twins, and found that the concordance rate of alcohol consumption was 64.0% (2 059/3 215) in monozygotic twins, and 52.6% (902/1 714) in dizygotic twins, the difference was significant ( P<0.001), and the heritability of alcohol consumption was 24.1% (95% CI: 18.9%- 29.3%). The further stratified analysis found that in southern men, the heritability was highest in those aged 40-49 years (36.1%, 95% CI: 21.6%-50.7%), while in northern men, the heritability was highest in those aged 50-59 years (34.2%, 95% CI: 18.1%-50.3%). Conclusions:In adult twins in China, there were population and regional differences in the distribution of alcohol consumption behavior, and alcohol consumption was influenced by genetic factors, and gender, age and region had potential modifying effects.

Objective:To explore the clinical features, genetic characteristics in a child with Miller-McKusick-Malvaux syndrome (3MS) type 1 caused by CUL7 gene variant. Methods:A child diagnosed with 3MS type 1 at the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in February 2021 was selected as the subject of this study. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the child and her parents for genomic DNA extraction. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the child, and Sanger sequencing was used to validate the candidate variants and analyze their pathogenicity. A literature search was conducted using the keywords "3M syndrome" in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and PubMed databases from inception to December 2024. The clinical data of Chinese children with 3MS reported in the literature were summarized. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University (Ethics No. 2024-K-020).Results:①The child was a 6-year-old and 2-month-old female with facial dysmorphism, skeletal abnormalities, and growth and developmental delay. ②WES revealed compound heterozygous variants in the CUL7 gene: c. 2686G>T (p.E896*) and c. 1200delT (p.R401Gfs66). Sanger sequencing confirmed that these two variants were inherited from the child′s father and mother, respectively. According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants, c. 2686G>T (p.E896) was classified as a pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PM3), and c. 1200delT (p.R401Gfs*66) was classified as a likely pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting). ③ Based on the literature search strategy, 18 relevant articles were identified, including a total of 32 Chinese cases of 3MS, of which 8 were fetuses. A total of 32 Chinese 3MS cases were included in the literature review, of which 8 were fetuses. The majority of these cases carried variants in the CUL7 gene (20/32, 62.5%) and OBSL1 gene (12/32, 37.5%). The main clinical manifestations included intrauterine or postnatal growth and developmental delay (32/32, 100.0%), triangular facies (27/32, 84.3%), and skeletal abnormalities (21/32, 65.6%). Conclusion:The compound heterozygous variants c.2686G>T (p.E896*) and c. 1200delT (p.R401Gfs*66) in the CUL7 gene are likely the genetic cause of 3MS type 1 in the child. For children presenting with facial dysmorphism, skeletal abnormalities, and intrauterine or postnatal growth and developmental delay, 3MS should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
