This paper has constructed a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) specialized disease dataset platform for mixed hemorrhoids based on a multimodal large model, and the preliminary application has been validated. The platform uses StarRocks to establish a four-level data warehouse system, enabling the aggregation, cleaning, and standardization of multi-source heterogeneous data. Using DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B as the base model, domain fine-tuning is performed through low-rank adaptation (LoRA) technology. Combined with LLaMA-3.3 natural language processing and reasoning chain techniques, the platform enables intelligent parsing and structured extraction of unstructured TCM medical records. It accurately identifies six major categories and 28 subcategories of entities, including symptoms and syndromes, with a fine-tuned model F1 score of 93.8%. The platform has established a high-quality specialized disease dataset containing more than 50,000 medical records and has been applied in a real-world study involving 17,831 patients, preliminarily verifying the efficacy of TCM heritage surgery.

Objective :
To investigate the mechanism of action of benvitimod (BVM) in the treatment of atopic der- matitis (AD) .
Methods :
HaCaT cells were stimulated by TNF-α and IFN-γ , and the cells were grouped into NC group , TNF-α/IFN-γ group , TNF-α/IFN-γ BVM group , and TNF-α/IFN-γ BVM ML385 group. The AD model of DNCB-induced Balb/c mice was divided into CON group , DNCB group , DNCB + BVM group , and DNCB + TAC group. The efficacy of BVM and its roles in antioxidant and pyroptosis regulation were evaluated.
Results:
Compared with the control group , BVM inhibited the inflammatory response of HaCaT cells stimulated by TNF-α and IFN-γ , and ameliorated the skin lesions and inflammation in the DNCB-induced AD mouse model ; at the same time , it significantly increased the expression of nuclearfactorerythroid-2-relatedfactor2 (NRF2)-related anti-oxida- tive stress proteins , and significantly reduced the expression of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and pyroptosis proteins. At the same time , the levels of NRF2-related antioxidative stress proteins significantly in- creased , and the levels of ROS and pyroptosis proteins significantly decreased.
Conclusion
BVM activates the NRF2/ROS/NLRP3 pathway to inhibit pyroptosis , thereby reducing the inflammatory response in AD.

Objective :
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of tuberculosis in Urumqi and assess the im⁃pact of the national health examination policy , as well as COVID⁃19 prevention and control measures , on tuberculo⁃sis incidence in Xinjiang.
Methods:
The seasonal patterns of pulmonary tuberculosis were examined using the seasonal index method and circular distribution analysis. An Interrupted Time Series (ITS , Interrupted Time Series) model was employed to investigate how the national health examination policy and COVID_19 interventions influenced trends in tuberculosis incidence in Urumqi.
Results:
From 2013 to 2021 , a total of 19 ,049 cases of tuberculosis were reported in Urumqi. The peak incidence day occurred on May 25th , indicating a consistently high rate throughout the year, particularly during spring and summer months. The results of the interrupted time series model indicated that the initial monthly incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in Urumqi was 5. 05 per 100 ,000. From January 2013 to September 2016 , the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis showed a slow upward trend , and the upward trend was significant (β1 = 0. 039 ,P < 0. 05) . After the implementation of the universal health checkup policy , the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis showed a slow downward trend , and the downward trend was significant(β3 = - 0. 109 ,P < 0. 05) . After the outbreak of the COVID_19 epidemic in January 2020 , the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in Urumqi first dropped rapidly and then entered a slow upward stage , and the upward trend was significant(β5 = 0. 082 , P < 0. 05) .
Conclusion
It is recommended that public health authorities prioritize timely identification of potential TB patients during periods with elevated incidence rates observed in spring and summer months. While significant progress has been made through implementing national health examinations policies , attention must be directed towards understanding how ongoing epidemics affect TB patient detection. Thus , enhancing surveillance efforts and intervention strategies are essential in adapting to this new normal.

Persistent and maladaptive drug-related memories represent a key component in drug addiction. Converging evidence from both preclinical and clinical studies has demonstrated the potential efficacy of the memory reconsolidation updating procedure (MRUP), a non-pharmacological strategy intertwining two distinct memory processes: reconsolidation and extinction-alternatively termed "the memory retrieval-extinction procedure". This procedure presents a promising approach to attenuate, if not erase, entrenched drug memories and prevent relapse. The present review delineates the applications, molecular underpinnings, and operational boundaries of MRUP in the context of various forms of substance dependence. Furthermore, we critically examine the methodological limitations of MRUP, postulating potential refinement to optimize its therapeutic efficacy. In addition, we also look at the potential integration of MRUP and neurostimulation treatments in the domain of substance addiction. Overall, existing studies underscore the significant potential of MRUP, suggesting that interventions predicated on it could herald a promising avenue to enhance clinical outcomes in substance addiction therapy.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the therapeutic mechanism of compound Centella asiatica formula (CCA) for alleviating Schistosoma japonicum (Sj)-induced liver fibrosis in mice.
METHODS:
The active components and targets of CCA were identified using the TCMSP database with cross-analysis of Sj-related liver fibrosis targets. A "drug-component-target-pathway-disease" network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1. Functional enrichment analysis (GO/KEGG) was performed using DAVID. Molecular docking study was carried out to validate interactions between the core targets and the key compounds. For experimental validation of the results, 36 mice were divided into control group, Sj-infected model group, and CCA-treated groups. In the latter two groups, liver fibrosis was induced via abdominal infection with Sj cercariae for 8 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of daily treatment with CCA decoction or saline. Hepatic pathology of the mice was assessedwith HE and Masson staining, and hepatic expressions of collagen-I and collagen-III were detected using immunohistochemistry; serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were determined with ELISA. Hepatic expressions of TLR4 and MyD88 proteins were analyzed with Western blotting.
RESULTS:
We identified a total of 107 bioactive CCA components and 791 targets, including 37 intersection targets linked to Sj-induced fibrosis. The core targets included TNF, TP53, JUN, MMP9, and CXCL8, involving the IL-17 signaling, lipid metabolism, TLR4/MyD88 axis, and cancer pathways. Molecular docking study confirmed strong binding affinity between quercetin (a primary CCA component) and TNF/TP53/JUN/MMP9. In Sj-infected mouse models, CCA treatment significantly attenuated hepatic inflammatory cell infiltration, reduced collagen-I and collagen-III deposition, improved tissue architecture, reduced serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels, and downregulated TLR4 and MyD88 expressions in the liver.
CONCLUSIONS
CCA mitigates Sj-induced liver fibrosis by targeting TNF, TP53, JUN, and MMP9 to modulate the TLR4/MyD88 pathway, thereby suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine release, inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation, reducing collagen deposition, and preventing granuloma formation in the liver.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of illness acceptance between self-compassion and rehabilitation motivation in stroke patients with partial disability.Methods:By convenience sampling method, stroke patients who attended the neurology outpatient clinic of Xinxiang Central Hospital from February to December 2024 were selected as the research subjects. The General Information Questionnaire, Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Chinese version of Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS-CHI), and Stroke Rehabilitation Motivation Scale (SRMS) were used for the survey. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to analyze the relationships among self-compassion, illness acceptance, and rehabilitation motivation. AMOS 21.0 software was used to establish a structural equation model and verify the mediating effect.Results:A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, and 289 valid ones were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 96.33%. Among the 289 stroke patients with partial disability, the total score of SCS was (65.73±5.50), the total score of AIS-CHI was (17.46±5.62), and the total score of SRMS was (77.18±10.97). Pairwise positive correlations were found between self-compassion, illness acceptance, and rehabilitation motivation (all P<0.05). Self-compassion had a direct positive effect on rehabilitation motivation ( β=0.328, P<0.01) and a direct positive effect on illness acceptance ( β=0.439, P<0.01). Illness acceptance played a partial mediating role between self-compassion and rehabilitation motivation, and the mediating effect accounted for 31.38% of the total effect (0.150/0.478) . Conclusions:The levels of self-compassion, illness acceptance, and rehabilitation motivation in stroke patients with partial disability need to be further improved. Illness acceptance exerts a partial mediating effect between self-compassion and rehabilitation motivation. Clinically, the rehabilitation motivation of patients can be enhanced by improving their levels of self-compassion and illness acceptance.
