OBJECTIVE Identify the incentive and constraint factors of artificial intelligence (AI) application in the pharmaceutical field, and promote the application of AI in the field of pharmacy. METHODS Based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, and diffusion of innovation theory (DOI), a TAM-TOE-DOI integrated framework was constructed through a four-stage research process of “theoretical review → dimension mapping → mechanism integration → proposition development”. Combining the analytical pathways of the above three theories in AI application in pharmacy with the integration mechanisms and core propositions of the TAM-TOE-DOI, literature review and deductive reasoning were employed to systematically identify the incentive and constraint factors of AI application in pharmacy from three levels:micro (TAM), meso (TOE), and macro (DOI), and to propose optimization strategies. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS At the micro level, the efficiency transformation and quality improvement brought by AI technology were the main incentive factors for perceived usefulness, while technological complexity and algorithmic opacity were the main constraint factors for perceived ease of use. At the meso level, the completeness of technological infrastructure, the strength of top management support and innovation climate, as well as external institutional pressure and competitive driving forces were the core incentive factors, whereas scarcity of organizational resources and talent shortage were the main constraint factors. At the macro level, relative advantage and observability were typical incentive factors, while technological complexity was a typical constraint factor. China’s health administration, medical insurance authorities, and other relevant departments should coordinate efforts at the macro, meso, and micro levels to advance AI application in pharmacy: optimizing human-computer interaction and implementing tiered training programs at the micro level; reinforcing organizational support systems and capacity building at the meso level; dismantling data barriers and building social trust at the macro level. Differentiated implementation pathways should be developed for medical institutions at different tiers.

Purpose:
Cancer has become a significant major public health concern, making the discovery of new cancer markers or therapeutic targets exceptionally important. Elevated expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 12A (TNFRSF12A) expression has been observed in certain types of cancer. This project aims to investigate the function of TNFRSF12A in tumors and the underlying mechanisms.
Materials and Methods:
Various websites were utilized for conducting the bioinformatics analysis. Tumor cell lines with stable knockdown or overexpression of TNFRSF12A were established for cell phenotyping experiments and subcutaneous tumorigenesis in BALB/c mice. RNA-seq was employed to investigate the mechanism of TNFRSF12A.
Results:
TNFRSF12A was upregulated in the majority of cancers and associated with a poor prognosis. Knockdown TNFRSF12A hindered the colorectal cancer progression, while overexpression facilitated malignancy both in vitro and in vivo. TNFRSF12A overexpression led to increased nuclear factor кB (NF-κB) signaling and significant upregulation of baculoviral IAP repeat containing 3 (BIRC3), a transcription target of the NF-κB member RELA, and it was experimentally confirmed to be a critical downstream factor of TNFRSF12A. Therefore, we speculated the existence of a TNFRSF12A/RELA/BIRC3 regulatory axis in colorectal cancer.
Conclusion
TNFRSF12A is upregulated in various cancer types and associated with a poor prognosis. In colorectal cancer, elevated TNFRSF12A expression promotes tumor growth, potentially through the TNFRSF12A/RELA/BIRC3 regulatory axis.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and infection sources of cholera in China from 2005 to 2024.Methods:A total of 2 066 cholera cases were included in the study, which were obtained from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System (CDPCIS) of China CDC. The information on cholera clusters was downloaded from the National Public Health Emergency Event Surveillance System (PHEESS) of China CDC. A total of 128 cholera clusters were included and analyzed in this study. The epidemiological characteristics and infection sources of cholera were analyzed. The Jointpoint model was applied to analyze the incidence trend, and annual percentage change (APC) was also quantified.Results:From 2005 to 2024, a total of 2 066 cholera cases were reported, with an average of 103 cases reported annually. Specifically, the incidence showed a marked downward trend from 2004 to 2015 ( APC=-26.78%, P=0.006). During 2015-2024, the disease remained at low endemic levels, with an average of 18 reported cases annually ( APC=-2.68%, P=0.807). Cholera peak season was from May to October. A total of 24 provinces reported cholera cases, which were mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Fujian, Beijing, Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangdong, and Hainan provinces, accounting for 78.03% of the total cases. Pathogen surveillance indicated an alternating prevalence of Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 among laboratory-confirmed cases between 2005 and 2024. There was a disparity in the dominant serogroup of Vibrio cholerae by region. The results from 128 cholera clusters indicated that cholera outbreaks frequently occurred in rural banquets (64.84%), followed by regular restaurants (13.28%). Among these, 63 clusters (49.22%) with identified infection sources indicated that foodborne transmission (95.24%) was the primary mode of cholera transmission, which mainly through seafood and aquatic products, such as soft-shelled turtles, shrimp and shellfish. The characteristics of cholera clusters caused by Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 showed statistically significant differences in scale, attack rate, place of residence, setting, and infection source ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Cholera incidence has remained consistently low since 2015 in China, mainly in sporadic cases. Rural gatherings (e.g., wedding banquets) are the main settings for cholera clusters. The main infection sources are predominantly caused by cross-contamination due to improper processing practices of aquatic products, such as soft-shelled turtles.

Objective:To investigate the dietary iodine intake of students at Mudanjiang Medical University, Heilongjiang Province.Methods:From September 2023 to June 2024, a two-stage sampling method was used to investigate students at Mudanjiang Medical University. In stage one, 250 students were selected and investigated on their dietary iodine intake using the Iodine Specific Food Frequency Questionnaire (I-FFQ). In stage two, 55 students were selected and the double-meal method was used to investigate the dietary iodine intake of students. Iodine content in food samples was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Curve estimation (power function, S-shaped curve, cubic equation, growth curve) was applied to analyze the dietary iodine intake of I-FFQ and double-meal method, the regression equation was used to adjust I-FFQ.Results:A total of 237 students were enrolled in I-FFQ, with a dietary iodine intake [ M( Q1, Q3)] of 342.61 (203.77, 399.26) μg/d. The dietary iodine intake of males and females was 361.82 (235.56, 428.98) and 330.87 (190.47, 366.11) μg/d, respectively, and the difference between the two was statistically significant ( Z = - 3.06, P = 0.002). The proportions of insufficient iodine intake, appropriate iodine intake, and excessive iodine intake were 13.92% (33/237), 82.70% (196/237), and 3.38% (8/237), respectively. A total of 52 students were enrolled in the double-meal method, with an average dietary iodine intake of 645.22 (435.91, 960.50) μg/d over 3 days. The proportion of appropriate iodine intake and excessive iodine intake was 44.23% (23/52) and 55.77% (29/52), respectively. After adjusting for I-FFQ, the dietary iodine intake was 650.13 (441.68, 728.53) μg/d, with the proportions of appropriate iodine intake and excessive iodine intake being 35.02% (83/237) and 64.98% (154/237), respectively. Conclusion:More than half of the students at Mudanjiang Medical University in Heilongjiang Province are in a state of excessive iodine intake, and dietary iodine intake should be appropriately controlled.

Objective:To explore the different categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses and its relationship with job burnout, so as to provide a basis for optimizing medical organization management strategies.Methods:From January to February 2025, 318 ICU nurses from four ClassⅢ hospitals in Taizhou City were selected as research subjects using convenience sampling. The General Information Questionnaire, Nursing Burnout Scale, and Organizational Involution Scale were used to conduct the survey. Latent profile analysis was used to identify latent categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses, and one-way analysis of variance was used to explore differences in ICU nurses' job burnout scores across different latent categories of organizational involution. A total of 318 questionnaires were distributed, and 306 valid questionnaires were returned, with a valid return rate of 96.23%.Results:The 306 ICU nurses' organizational involution was divided into three latent categories of low involution-high efficiency group (34.97%, 107/306), moderate involution-systemic consumption group (42.81%, 131/306), and high involution-total imbalance group (22.22%, 68/306). There were statistically significant differences in job burnout scores between different latent categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The overall level of organizational involution among ICU nurses is moderately high, and there is heterogeneity. There is a correlation between organizational involution and job burnout. Nursing managers should optimize organizational management, break the negative cycle of organizational involution and job burnout, and improve nurses' job satisfaction.
