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.

Background/Aims: The pathophysiology of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (RGERD), which differs from proton pump inhibitor dependent gastroesophageal reflux disease (DGERD), remains incompletely elucidated. This study aims to compare esophageal motility patterns, transdiaphragmatic pressure gradients (TPG), and reflux profiles between RGERD and DGERD patients, and to delineate dynamic pressure gradient-esophagogastric junction (EGJ) interactions in these patients. Methods: In this retrospective study, 274 patients who underwent 24-hour impedance-pH monitoring and high-resolution manometry, along with an assessment of proton pump inhibitor responsiveness, were classified as RGERD (32.5%), DGERD (54.4%), or non-GERD (13.1%). Clinical characteristics, TPG, esophageal motility, and reflux metrics were compared between RGERD and DGERD patients. Subgroup analysis excluding hiatal hernia (HH) was conducted to investigate the pathophysiology of RGERD. Results: The RGERD group exhibited a significantly higher proportion of chest pain compared to the DGERD group. Regarding reflux profiles, RGERD patients without HH (RGERDHH- group) experienced increased weakly acidic reflux (P < 0.001) and prolonged bolus exposure (P = 0.006) compared to their counterparts (DGERDHH- group). Mechanistically, the RGERDHH- group showed reduced lower esophageal sphincter basal pressure (P = 0.010) and EGJ contractile integral (P = 0.005). Notably, following a wet-swallow, the RGERDHH- group experienced the significant elevation in gastric pressure and TPG. Correlation analyses revealed weakly acidic reflux and bolus exposure were positively correlated with gastric pressure variation, and inversely correlated with lower esophageal sphincter basal pressure. Conclusions Transient gastric pressure elevation and compromised EGJ barrier function drive weakly acidic reflux and esophageal bolus exposure. This pressure gradient-barrier mismatch underpins the refractoriness of RGERD.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum micro ribonucleic acid(miR)-423-5p and fer-ritin in elderly osteoporosis(OP)and their relationship with hip fragility fracture.Methods A total of 79 eld-erly OP patients admitted to the hospital from March 2020 to March 2024 were selected as the observation group,and 62 healthy elderly patients with complete physical examination records and reports were selected as the control group during the same period.Patients in the observation group were divided into fracture group(42 cases)and non-fracture group(37 cases)according to the occurrence of hip fragility fracture.Serum miR-423-5p and ferritin levels were compared between the observation group and the control group and between the fracture group and the non-fracture group.The difference of bone mineral density(BMD)at different sites between the fracture group and the non-fracture group was compared.The correlation between serum miR-423-5p and ferritin and BMD at different sites was analyzed by Pearson,and the predictive value of serum miR-423-5p and ferritin in elderly hip fragility fractures was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Serum miR-423-5p and ferritin in observation group were higher than those in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The levels of serum miR-423-5p and ferritin in frac-ture group were higher than those in non-fracture group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Greater trochanteric BMD and total hip BMD in the non-fracture group were higher than those in the fracture group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).According to Pearson correlation analysis,serum miR-423-5p and ferritin levels in elderly OP patients were negatively correlated with BMD de-tected in lumbar spine,femoral neck,greater trochanter,intertrochanter and total hip(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis results showed that the sensitivity,specificity and the area under the curve(AUC)of serum miR-423-5p combined with ferritin were 0.786,0.892 and 0.818(95％CI:0.715-0.912),which were higher than the AUC predicted by the two alone and had higher predictive value(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of serum miR-423-5p and ferritin levels can predict the risk of hip fragility fracture in elderly OP patients.

Objective To explore the pioneering symptoms of the gastrointestinal symptom cluster and their influencing factors in gastric cancer patients with chemotherapy.Methods Based on the hospital's management system for scientific research data,463 gastric cancer patients with chemothera-py were surveyed through multicenter collaboration by the corresponding module of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory(MDASI),the Chinese Medicine Constitution Classification and Identification Standard,and the Chinese Medicine SyndromeIdentification Standard for Gastric Cancer.IBM SPSS Statistic 22.0 and IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0 were used for data analysis.Results The first occurrence of dry mouth in the gastrointestinal symptom cluster of gastric cancer patients with chemotherapy was(22.99±10.70)hours after chemotherapy.The support,confidence,and lift for the association be-tween dry mouth and decreased appetite were 62.2％,94.8％and 1.52,respectively;for dry mouth and nausea,the numerical values were 62.2％,89.6％and 1.44;for dry mouth and vomiting,the numerical values were 62.2％,79.5％and 1.28.The results of one-way ANOVA and multivariate linear regression analysis showed that alcohol consumption,syndrome of stomach heat injuring yin,and phlegm-dampness constitution were independent influencing factors for dry mouth in gastric cancer patients with chemotherapy(P＜0.05).Conclusion Dry mouth,as a pioneering symptom of the gastroin-testinal symptom cluster,is of great significance in clinical assessment and management.Improved assessment of dry mouth can provide a basis for the construction of subsequent risk prediction model,the formulation of targeted interventions,and the enhancement of symptom management efficiency.

Objective To understand the changes in self-rated health among middle-aged and elderly individuals in China and the influencing factors,providing a reference for improving health and promoting healthy aging.Methods Using data from the China Health and Aged Care Tracking Survey(CHARLS)from 2011 to 2020,this study analyzed 3595 middle-aged and elderly individuals(≥45 years old)who participated in all five rounds of the survey from 2011 to 2020.Univariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression were employed to analyze the influencing factors of self-rated health changes.Results Among the 3 595 middle-aged and elderly individuals,26.54％reported an increase in self-rated health,28.40％reported a decrease,and 45.06％reported no change.The multinomial logistic regression results indicated that compared to those with unchanged self-rated health,individuals whose self-rated health declined were more likely to have an increased number of Activities of Daily Living(ADLs),a higher number of chronic diseases,not engaging in at least 10 minutes of light physical activity per week,and a decline in life satisfaction levels.The odds ratios for these factors were 1.415(OR=1.415,95％CI:1.181～1.694),1.479(OR=1.479,95％CI:1.225～1.785),1.454(OR=1.486,95％CI:1.172～1.804),and 1.263(OR=1.237,95％CI:1.043～1.530),respectively.In contrast,individuals whose self-rated health improved,compared to those with unchanged health,were more likely to report an increase in life satisfaction levels,while an increase in ADLs and chronic diseases negatively impacted self-rated health improvement.The odds ratios for these factors were 1.698(OR=1.698,95％CI:1.425～2.023),0.769(OR=0.769,95％CI:0.646～0.915),and 0.689(OR=0.689,95％CI:0.549～0.865),respectively.Conclusion From 2011 to 2020,the self-rated health of middle-aged and elderly individuals in China has slightly declined,with a focus on improving physical health status,increasing physical activity,and addressing mental health as key areas for enhancing self-rated health among the elderly in China.

Objective:Cognitive interviews were used to explore the target population's understanding and cognition of the Questionnaire about Gynaecological and Pelvic Pain Symptoms (ENDOPAIN-4D) in the Chinese context. The consistency of language expression and concept between the Chinese version ENDOPAIN-4D and the original scale was verified.Methods:Qualitative research methods were employed. Objective sampling method was used to select the patients with endometriosis/adenomyosis in the gynecological ward of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College Hospital from October to December 2023 as the interview subjects. Two rounds of cognitive interviews were conducted, and the interview data were coded and analyzed using the Question Appraisal System. Based on the interview results and the recommendations of the expert group, the scale items were revised to form the Chinese version of ENDOPAIN-4D, and reliability and validity tests were conducted.Results:This study ultimately included 24 patients with endometriosis/adenomyosis, aged 24-47 years. The results of the first round of interviews showed that some interviewees had ambiguous understandings of the 16 items in the questionnaire, most of the item questions were concentrated in the category of "3 clarity, 4 hypotheses", and a small number of questions appeared in the category of "2 guidance, 5 knowledge/memory, 7 options", and were revised. The results of the second round of interviews showed that respondents could correctly understand the scale items. The Cronbach α coefficient of the total scale was 0.874, and the retest reliability was 0.952. The correlation coefficient of the Chinese version of the Global Pain Scale as the reference index of compatibility validity was 0.764 ( P<0.01), and the exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of 4 dimensions, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 61.169%. The final formal questionnaire included 21 items in 4 dimensions including spontaneous pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, intestinal pain and/or symptoms, and other symptoms. Conclusions:Cognitive interviews were used to identify cognitive biases in the target population during the completion of the scale and to address them appropriately, reducing the differences in the target population's understanding of the ENDOPAIN-4D scale and improving its scientific validity and reliability.

Objective To translate the Urinary Incontinence Awareness and Attitude Scale(URINAS)and test its reliability and validity.Methods The Chinese version of the URINAS was developed by Brislin's translation model for translation,back translation,cultural adaptation,and pilot investigation.A convenience sampling method was used to select 384 urinary incontinence patients who visited a tertiary hospital in Nanchang,Jiangxi Province from June 2024 to October 2024 for investigation,in order to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Results The Chinese version of the URINAS consisted of 5 dimensions with 26 entries.The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of this scale was 0.843;the folded half reliability was 0.917;the retest reliability was 0.852.The content validity of the scale at the level of the entries ranged from 0.846 to 1.000,and that at the level of the scale was 0.979.A total of 5 metrics were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,and the cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.286％.The results of the validation factor analysis showed a chi-square/degree of freedom of 2.268,a root mean square error of approximation of 0.064,a standardized fit index of 0.916,a Tucker-Lewis index of 0.923,a comparative fit index of 0.906,and a goodness-of-fit index of 0.922.Conclusion The URINAS has good reliability and validity,and can better reflect the level of patients' cognition and attitude towards urinary incontinence,thus providing theoretical basis for the development of corresponding intervention programs for such patients.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by erosive arthritis that can eventually lead to joint deformity and loss of function,which is unknown.Autophagy is a self-degradation process in which cells reuse internal proteins and organelles allowing organisms to withstand adverse situations such as starvation and infection,and eventually allowing cells to survive.In recent years,many studies have discovered that autophagy plays a role in the pathogenesis of RA,including the production of pannus,synovitis,bone degradation,and other critical pathological connections that influence RA progression and prog-nosis.This article examines the function of autophagy in the pathogenesis of RA,with the goal of generating new ideas for future RA treatment and drug development.

Objective To explore the application effect of the whole-process information management in medical staff oc-cupational exposure incidents.Methods The occupational exposure incidents of medical staff from July 2022 to June 2023 before the implementation of the whole-process information management were selected as the control group,and those from July 2023 to June 2024 after the implementation were selected as the observation group.The timeliness of management,the satisfaction of the in-volved departments and exposed individuals with the system,and the basic registration rate of occupational exposure were compared before and after the implementation to verify the effect of the whole-process information management.Results The reporting time,verification and assessment time,time from determining preventive medication to administration,follow-up delay time,and financial reimbursement time of occupational exposure in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group.The satisfaction of the involved departments and exposed individuals with the information system significantly increased.The completion rates of ex-posure process description,exposure source situation,local treatment after exposure,and follow-up cooperation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion The applica-tion of the whole-process information management in the occupational exposure management of medical staff can improve the timeli-ness of management and the basic registration rate of occupational exposure,enhance the satisfaction of the involved personnel,achieve precise information management,and better ensure the occupational safety of medical staff.
