ObjectiveTo construct an intelligent model for literature screening, retrieval, and data extraction with a systematic review of coronary heart disease syndromes as an example, so as to improve the efficiency of evidence-based Chinese medicine research. MethodsBased on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP and Wanfang Data Resource System, the articles related to coronary heart disease syndrome research published from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2023 were retrieved. Automated tools were used to batch retrieve paper metadata. Using text similarity algorithms, papers were merged, deduplicated, and subjected to preliminary screening based on titles and abstracts. Further screening was performed using object detection and image processing technologies on the full texts and statistical tables. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques and pre-trained models were applied to extract information. ResultsThe initial search retrieved 56 255 coronary heart disease syndrome-related articles. By artificial intelligence-assisted preliminary and secondary screening, the manual verification scope was narrowed to 1075 articles. Ultimately, 646 coronary heart disease syndrome related studies were included manually. With accuracy verification showing over 90% consistency in semantic recognition and element decomposition processes, we achieved data extraction and standardization processing for both basic literature information and 38 syndrome element statistics. ConclusionBy incorporating natural language processing, pre-trained models, artificial intelligence image processing and other technologies, this study enabled efficient retrieval, screening and standardized data extraction of Chinese medicine research literature.
2.Correlation between depressive symptom and traditional Chinese medicine constitution among school aged children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(9):1222-1225
Objective:
To explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution and depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents, so as to provide evidences for informing constitution based regulation and prevention of depressive symptom.
Methods:
From June to December 2024, a total of 4 729 students aged 6-14 were recruited by cluster random sampling from 10 primary schools in Baoding (Hebei Province), Heze and Liaocheng (Shandong Province). General information, TCM constitution and depressive symptom were collected. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to analyze related factors and threshold effects of depressive symptom. Binary Logistic regression was applied to examine the association between depressive symptom and TCM constitution, with subgroup analyses conducted.
Results:
The detection rate of depressive symptom among the included children and adolescents was 25.82%. RCS analyses indicated non linear associations between depressive symptom and age (inflection point at 10 years old), bedtime (inflection point at 22:00), and wake up time (inflection point at 6:30 ) (all P non linearity <0.01). Linear associations were observed with body mass index (BMI) and sleep duration (all P non linearity > 0.05 ). After adjusting for covariates such as age, BMI and sleep status, binary Logistic regression analyses showed that Yin deficient constitution ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.09-1.45) and Phlegm-dampness constitution ( OR =1.42, 95% CI =1.11-1.82) were significantly associated with depressive symptom among children and adolescents (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents is primarily associated with Yin deficiency and Phlegm dampness constitutions in TCM constitution. Active attention should be paid to susceptible TCM constitution among children and adolescents. Targeted health guidance and interventions should be implemented to improve TCM constitution health status for preventing the occurrence of depressive symptom.

Objective:To investigate the mediating effect of work engagement on the relationship between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and their innovative behavior, providing insights for enhancing nurses′ innovative practices.Methods:A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit registered nurses from 37 hospitals in Anhui Province between January and March 2022. The Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Nurse Innovative Behavior Scale were utilized to conduct a cross-sectional survey. SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the correlations among nurses′ perception of authentic leadership, work engagement, and innovative behavior, while AMOS 26.0 was employed to assess the mediating effect of work engagement between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and innovative behavior.Results:A total of 3 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 2 994 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the 2 994 participating nurses, 2 907 (97.1%) were female and 87 (2.9%) were male, 1 002 (33.5%) aged 22-25 years, 1 374 (45.9%) aged 26-39 years, 467 (15.6%) aged 40-49 years, and 151 (5.0%) aged 50 years or older. The total scores of the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Nurse Innovative Behavior Scale were (68.23 ± 13.15), (51.49 ± 11.65) and (38.28 ± 8.35) points, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and work engagement ( r=0.473, P<0.01), between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and innovative behavior ( r=0.530, P<0.01), and between work engagement and innovative behavior ( r=0.553, P<0.01). The mediating effect analysis indicated that work engagement partially mediates the relationship between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and innovative behavior ( β=0.18, P<0.01), with a mediation effect ratio of 34.62%. Conclusions:Nurses′ perception of authentic leadership can indirectly influence their innovative behavior through work engagement. It is recommended that nursing managers prioritize the enhancement of authentic leadership and foster work engagement among nurses to stimulate their innovative behavior.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence rate of sarcopenia in patients with Wilson’s disease (WD)-related liver cirrhosis, as well as the risk factors for sarcopenia and their impact on clinical outcomes. MethodsA total of 140 patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis who were treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to June 2020, and according to the third lumbar skeletal muscle mass index (L3 SMI), the patients were divided into sarcopenia group and non-sarcopenia group. Nutritional risk screening, anthropometric measurements, and blood biochemical tests were performed for the patients to identify the influencing factors for sarcopenia. The patients were followed up for 36 — 48 months, and survival status and complications were compared between the two groups. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A binary Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for sarcopenia, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to investigate the risk factors for the prognosis of patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. ResultsAmong the 140 patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis, 53 (37.9%) developed sarcopenia, with significantly lower body mass index (BMI) and L3 SMI than the patients without sarcopenia (t=10.550 and 3.982, both P<0.001). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR]=2.243, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.196 — 4.208, P=0.012), sex (OR=0.450, 95%CI: 0.232 — 0.872, P=0.018), BMI (OR=0.126, 95%CI: 0.089 — 0.294, P<0.001), and hepatic encephalopathy (OR=8.367, 95%CI: 2.423 — 28.897, P<0.001) were the main influencing factors for sarcopenia in patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis. Compared with the non-sarcopenia group, the sarcopenia group had significantly higher mortality rate (χ2=6.158, P=0.019) and significantly higher incidence rates of infection (χ2=8.008, P=0.040), recurrent abdominal/pleural efflux (χ2=17.742, P<0.001), and hepatic encephalopathy (χ2=4.338, P=0.039). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that sarcopenia (hazard ratio [HR]=4.685, P=0.002) and hepatic encephalopathy (HR=19.156, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for death in patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed a significant reduction in survival rate in the patients with sarcopenia (P=0.003). ConclusionSarcopenia is one of the manifestations of malnutrition in patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis, which increases the risk of mortality and other complications and has an adverse effect on prognosis. There is an increased risk of sarcopenia in male patients or patients with hepatic encephalopathy, a lower level of BMI or an older age.
