ObjectiveTo address the challenges of unstructured classical Chinese expressions, nested entity relationships, and limited annotated data in famous traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) case records, this study proposes a joint relation extraction framework that integrates data augmentation and entity mapping, aiming to support the construction of TCM diagnostic knowledge graphs and clinical pattern mining. MethodsWe developed an annotation structure for entities and their relationships in TCM case texts and applied a data augmentation strategy by incorporating multiple ancient texts to expand the relation extraction dataset. A cascade binary tagging framework for relation triple extraction(CasRel) model for TCM semantics was designed, integrating a pre-trained bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT) layer for classical TCM texts to enhance semantic representation, and using a head entity-relation-tail entity mapping mechanism to address entity nesting and relation overlapping issues. ResultsExperimental results showed that the CasRel model, combining data augmentation and entity mapping, outperformed the pipeline-based Bert-Radical-Lexicon(BRL)-bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)-Attention model. The overall precision, recall, and F1-score across 12 relation types reached 65.73%, 64.03%, and 64.87%, which represent improvements of 14.26%, 7.98%, and 11.21% compared to the BRL-BiLSTM-Attention model, respectively. Notably, the F1-score for tongue syndrome relations increased by 22.68%(69.32%), and the prescription-syndrome relations performed the best with the F1-score of 70.10%. ConclusionThe proposed framework significantly improves the semantic representation and complex dependencies in TCM texts, offering a reusable technical framework for structured mining of TCM case records. The constructed knowledge graph can support clinical syndrome differentiation, prescription optimization, and drug compatibility, providing a methodological reference for TCM artificial intelligence research.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory liver disease mediated by T lymphocytes, and it can progress to liver cirrhosis or even liver failure without timely intervention. As a natural flavonoid compound, naringenin (NAR) shows a potential value in the prevention and treatment of AIH through multiple mechanisms such as remodeling immune homeostasis, targeted inhibition of inflammatory pathways, antioxidation, regulating hepatocyte metabolism and apoptosis, improving mitochondrial function, and regulating intestinal flora. However, the clinical translation and application of NAR is limited by issues such as low bioavailability and insufficient efficiency of liver-targeted delivery. This article systematically reviews the mechanism of action of NAR in the prevention and treatment of AIH, explores the potential signaling pathways involved in this process, and analyzes existing challenges in its translation and application and future research directions, so as to provide a reference for further research on NAR and its application in the prevention and treatment of AIH.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignancy characterized by tumor cells originating in the liver or bile ducts, exhibiting features of cholangiocyte differentiation. It poses a significant clinical challenge due to the limited diagnostic and therapeutic options available. Robust animal models are essential for advancing our understanding of CCA pathogenesis and developing effective treatments. This review provides a comprehensive overview of CCA mouse models, highlighting various approaches, including chemical induction, genetically engineered models, and tumor xenografts. Each model is discussed in terms of its establishment techniques, pathological characteristics, and research significance, with a focus on intrahepatic CCA. Chemical induction models, such as diethylnitrosamine- and azoxymethane-induced models, offer insights into tumorigenesis processes, whereas genetically modified models involving alterations in key genes such as Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog, tumor protein 53, and isocitrate dehydrogenase serve as important tools for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying CCA. Xenograft models, including patient-derived xenografts, bridge the gap between experimental research and clinical applications, allowing for precise therapeutic evaluations. By comparing these models, this review underscores their respective advantages and limitations, paving the way for future studies aiming to optimize and innovate CCA modeling strategies.

Objective:To investigate the impact of hysteroscopic surgery on fresh embryo transfer outcomes in patients with transvaginal ultrasound-diagnosed FIGO Type Ⅱ/Ⅲ uterine fibroids that may affect the uterine cavity morphology, providing a reference for clinical practice.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 346 patients who visited the Reproductive Medicine Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022, with transvaginal ultrasound findings indicating uterine fibroids adjacent to or protruding into the uterine cavity (FIGO Type Ⅱ, Ⅲ) and who underwent fresh embryo transfer. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether hysteroscopic surgery were performed: the hysteroscopic surgery group ( n=237, the group that underwent hysteroscopy before embryo transfer) and the non-surgery group ( n=109, the group that proceeded directly to embryo transfer without hysteroscopy). Basic patient characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate. Results:The baseline characteristics showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. The clinical pregnancy rate [44.3% (105/237)] and the live birth rate [32.5% (77/237)] following fresh embryo transfer in the hysteroscopic surgery group were significantly higher than those in the non-surgery group [31.2% (34/109), P=0.021; 18.3% (20/109), P=0.007], whereas the pregnancy loss rate showed no significant difference. Stratified analysis by age revealed that for patients aged <35 years, the clinical pregnancy rate [62.1% (54/87)] and the live birth rate [51.7% (45/87)] in fresh embryo transfer cycles were significantly higher in the hysteroscopic surgery group compared with the non-surgery group [30.8% (12/39), P=0.001; 25.6% (10/39), P=0.006]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis further confirmed that hysteroscopic surgery was an independent factor influencing live birth rate ( OR=2.128, 95% CI: 1.152-3.930, P=0.016). Among patients aged <35 years, hysteroscopic surgery was an influencing factor of both clinical pregnancy rate ( OR=4.222, 95% CI: 1.745-10.215, P=0.001) and live birth rate ( OR=3.449, 95% CI: 1.436-8.282, P=0.006). Conclusion:For infertile patients with ultrasound findings of uterine fibroids adjacent to or protruding into the uterine cavity, especially younger patients, hysteroscopy is recommended. It can improve pregnancy outcomes of fresh embryo transfer, increasing both the clinical pregnancy rate and the live birth rate.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of the new type of lung body projection flashlight for percussion back in patients with cerebral hemorrhage, so as to promote patient lung rehabilitation, reduce pulmonary complications, and improve prognosis.Methods:Adopting a randomized controlled trial method, a total of 102 patients with cerebral hemorrhage who were hospitalized in the Department of Neurosurgery of The First Hospital of Jiaxing from January 2022 to December 2023 and their caregivers were selected as the research objects by convenience sampling method. The patients were divided into the control group (51 cases) and the observation group (51 cases) by the random number table method. The control group received traditional back tapping on the basis of routine nursing and back tapping guidance. The observation group used a new type of lung body projection flashlight for percussion back to assist in back tapping nursing and health guidance on the basis of routine nursing.The incidence of pulmonary infection, white blood cell count, levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein and procalcitonin, the quality of discharge guidance, the scores of satisfaction of patients, and the assessment score of caregivers′ percussion back skills were evaluated in the two groups.Results:Finally, a total of 49 patients were enrolled in the observation group, including 38 males and 11 females, aged (67.08 ± 11.05) years old. A total of 49 patients were enrolled in the control group, including 31 males and 18 females, aged (68.84 ± 10.46) years old. There were 8 males and 41 females, aged (58.00 ± 8.17) years old in the caregivers of the observation group. There were 6 males and 43 females, aged (57.57 ± 9.15) years old in the caregivers of the observation group. The incidence of pulmonary infection in the observation group was 28.6% (14/49), which was lower than that in the control group 32.7% (16/49), and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of white blood cell count, hypersensitive C-reactive protein and procalcitonin between the two groups when the time of pulmonary infection was diagnosed and after 2 weeks of treatment ( P>0.05). The levels of white blood cell count, hypersensitive C-reactive protein and procalcitonin after 1 week of treatment were (7.97 ± 1.30)×10 9/L, (30.71 ± 11.96) mg/L, 0.04(0.02, 0.07) μg/L in the observation group, which were all lower than those in the control group (9.46 ± 2.16) × 10 9/L, (58.34 ± 48.96) mg/L, 0.09(0.04, 0.20) μg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.06, 4.22, Z=1.98, all P<0.05). The total score of discharge guidance quality, obtained content, guidance skills and effect scores were (134.94 ± 7.34), (47.80 ± 2.86), (87.14 ± 5.98) points in the observation group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (117.04 ± 7.04), (39.80 ± 3.15), (77.24 ± 5.60) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=12.32, 13.15, 8.46, all P<0.05). The scores of the satisfaction of patients including six aspects(operation convenience, precise positioning, goal orientation, operation specification, nursing confidence and mission satisfaction) in the observation group were 91.84%(45/49), 95.92%(47/49), 91.84%(45/49), 93.88%(46/49), 91.84%(45/49), 97.96%(48/49), which were higher than those in the control group 73.47%(36/49), 57.14%(28/49), 53.06%(26/49), 67.35%(33/49), 73.47%(36/49), 81.63%(40/49), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 5.76-20.51, all P<0.05). The assessment score of percussion skills of caregivers in the observation group was (79.55 ± 3.98) points, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.35 ± 4.94) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.64, P<0.05). Conclusions:The clinical application of the new type of lung body projection flashlight for percussion back in patients with cerebral hemorrhage can achieve accurate and standardized percussion back to promote the improvement of pulmonary infection and improve the skill level of caregivers of cerebral hemorrhage patients, as well as improve the quality of discharge guidance and the satisfaction of patients.

Executive function(EF) is an advanced cognitive function of the central nervous system, and is closely related to an individual's capacity for daily living and adaptation. Patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) typically exhibit significant executive dysfunction. While most existing studies on the executive function of individuals with ADHD are cross-sectional, and little is known about the longitudinal maturation process of related brain structures and functional connectivity patterns. The findings indicate that ADHD patients exhibit differential developmental trajectories in brain structural and functional connectivity compared with typically developing group.Furthermore, there is a lifespan association between abnormal brain network development and ADHD symptoms. This article aims to elucidate the characteristics of executive function deficits in ADHD patients across different developmental stages, examining their relationship with the nervous system’s development from a development perspective.
