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.

Objective To analyze the main causes and risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 242 liver transplant recipients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether unplanned reoperation was performed during the same hospitalization after surgery, the recipients were divided into the reoperation group (n=36) and the non-reoperation group (n=206). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the two groups, as well as donor and graft-related data, were compared to analyze the risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation and the survival status of the two groups. Results Among the 242 liver transplant recipients, 36 underwent unplanned reoperations, with a total of 54 procedures including various laparotomies, endoscopic and interventional surgeries, among which there were 20 laparotomies, 18 endoscopic surgeries and 16 interventional surgeries. The most common cause of unplanned reoperation was biliary complications (20 times), followed by vascular complications (17 times). Compared with the non-reoperation group, the reoperation group had longer graft cold ischemia time, higher postoperative fatality rate of recipients, longer length of stay in the intensive care unit and postoperative hospital stay, and higher total hospitalization costs (all P<0.05). The incidence of unplanned reoperation was higher in recipients who underwent split liver transplantation (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 mL, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation were independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation (all P<0.05). The postoperative 7-day, 1-month, 3-month and 6-month survival rates of recipients in the reoperation group and the non-reoperation group were 100% vs. 98.1%, 88.9% vs. 94.2%, 69.4% vs. 90.8% and 66.7% vs. 90.8%, respectively, and the postoperative survival rate of recipients in the reoperation group was lower than that in the non-reoperation group (P<0.05). Conclusions The main causes of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation are biliary complications, vascular complications, abdominal incision infection and intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Intraoperative massive blood loss, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation are the risk factors associated with unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation.

Objective To construct prostate cancer(PCa)prediction models based on machine learning algorithms, so as to improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of PCa. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 504 patients who underwent prostate biopsy at our hospital during Jan. 2020 and Nov. 2024. Patients' age, body mass index(BMI), history of hypertension, diabetes and smoking, total prostate-specific antigen(tPSA), free prostate-specific antigen(fPSA), f/tPSA, prostate volume(PV), neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System(PI-RADS)score, digital rectal examination(DRE)results, and pathological findings were collected. The patients were divided into the training and testing sets at a ratio of 7:3. Ten early diagnosis prediction models of PCa were constructed using 10 supervised machine learning algorithms. Model performance was evaluated and validated using metrics including area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis(DCA). SHAP analysis was used to interpret the models, and to clarify the importance of each feature and the basis for model decisions. Results All models showed good predictive value, with the gradient boosting machine(GBM)model performing the best(AUC=0.905, accuracy=84.1%, sensitivity=90.2%, specificity=80.0%). Calibration curves indicated good calibration and fitting of the GBM model, while DCA demonstrated favorable clinical net benefits. SHAP analysis identified the most significant features affecting PCa occurrence in descending order:tPSA, f/tPSA, PIRADS score, PV, age, and DRE. Conclusion The GBM model exhibits the optimal performance among the 10 models. The importance of features for predicting the occurrence of PCa, from the highest to the lowest, is as follows:tPSA, f/tPSA, PIRADS score, PV, age, and DRE.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of the reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) technique and iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) in the treatment of adult noninfectious long bone nonunion of the lower extremity, and to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the RIA technique.Methods:A retrospective review was conducted of 42 adult patients with noninfectious long bone nonunion of the lower extremity treated surgically at Zhengzhou Orthopaedic Hospital from January 2021 to June 2024. The cohort included 33 men and 9 women with a mean age of 47.0±14.4 years (range, 18-62 years). Twenty-three patients had nonunion on the left side and 19 on the right. Initial surgical fixation methods included plate fixation (19 cases), intramedullary nail (16 cases), external fixator (5 cases), and combined plate-and-nail fixation (2 cases). Revision procedures included debridement and freshening of the nonunion ends, revision or adjustment of internal fixation, and autologous bone grafting. Nineteen patients underwent graft harvesting with the RIA technique (RIA group), and 23 received autograft harvested from the iliac crest (iliac group). Baseline and perioperative variables compared between the two groups included sex, age, body-mass index, preoperative comorbidities, anatomical site of the nonunion (tibial or femoral), duration from the index fracture operation to the current revision, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, volume of blood transfusion and rate of perioperative complications, nonunion fracture sites, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score at the fracture site, donor-site morphology and functional appearance scores, and radiographic union score for tibial fractures (RUST).Results:There was no significant difference in age between the RIA and ICBG groups (45.1±14.1 vs. 48.5±14.7 years, t=0.746, P=0.449). However, intraoperative blood loss was higher in the RIA group [300 (150, 720) ml, Z=-3.072, P=0.002] and the transfusion rate was higher (14/19 vs. 8/23, χ 2=6.313, P=0.012). The harvested bone volume was very similar [40(35, 60) cm 2vs. 40(35, 40) cm 2, Z=-1.077, P=0.281]. All patients were followed for a mean of 16.5±2.8 months (range, 7-40 months). VAS scores at the surgical site showed no significant difference between groups at 3 months (3.2±1.0 vs. 3.3±1.4, t= 4.754, P=0.720) and 6 months (1.6±0.8 vs. 1.8±1.2, t=6.841, P=0.542). Donor-site morphology and functional scores were significantly better in the RIA group at 3 months [14.5(13.0, 15.5) vs. 9.0(7.0, 10.0), Z=-3.748, P<0.001] and 6 months [15.5(15.0, 16.0) vs. 11.0(10.0, 13.0), Z=-3.782, P<0.001]. At 12 months postoperatively, RUST scores did not differ significantly between groups (10.6±1.2 vs. 10.4±1.5, t=0.483, P=0.632). The incidence of perioperative complications was comparable [42%(8/19) vs. 30%(7/23), χ 2=0.617, P=0.432]. Conclusions:Both RIA and ICBG achieved favorable clinical outcomes in the treatment of adult noninfectious lower-extremity long bone nonunion. Although RIA was associated with greater intraoperative blood loss, it resulted in less donor-site morbidity and better cosmetic and functional outcomes. Bone healing capacity and overall complication rates did not differ significantly between the two groups. These findings suggest that the RIA technique is safe and effective for use in the Chinese patient population.

Objective:To explore the predictive factors for ureteral stone impaction preoperatively and to construct a nomogram prediction model for impacted ureteral stones.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 209 patients with ureteral stones treated at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2023 to June 2024. There were 164 males（78.5%）and 45 females（21.5%）. The age was 49（47，57）years，and the body mass index（BMI）was 25.10（23.55，27.24）kg/m2. Of the patients，85（40.7%）had comorbid hypertension and 85（40.7%）had comorbid diabetes. Stones were located on the left side in 124 patients（59.3%）and on the right side in 85 patients（40.7%）. Hydronephrosis was present in 169 patients（80.9%），and urine culture was positive in 29 patients（13.9%）. Patients were divided into impacted and non-impacted groups based on the presence or absence of ureteral stone impaction. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent predictive factors for impacted ureteral stones. A nomogram model was constructed based on these results. The performance of the predictive model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curves，calibration plots，and decision curve analysis（DCA）.Results:Among the 209 patients in this study，85（40.7%）experienced ureteral stone impaction. The impacted group had a significantly higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio（NLR）than the non-impacted group（3.91 ± 2.05 vs. 3.25 ± 2.10， P = 0.024），a higher rate of hydronephrosis［81.2%（69/85）vs. 80.6%（100/124）， P = 0.002］，larger stone surface area［（64.96 ± 39.96）mm2 vs.（51.86 ± 39.80）mm2， P = 0.021］，greater ureteral wall thickness（UWT）［（3.96 ± 1.37）mm vs.（3.06 ± 1.33）mm， P < 0.001］，and a higher ratio of the upper ureter diameter（D1）to the lower ureter diameter（D2）（DDR）（2.87 ± 1.58 vs. 2.00 ± 0.99， P < 0.001）. Univariate analysis showed that NLR，hydronephrosis，stone length，stone surface area，UWT，D1，D2，and DDR were statistically significant（ P < 0.05）. After multivariate logistic regression analysis，the following items were identified as independent predictors of impacted ureteral stones：NLR（ OR = 1.205，95% CI 1.026 - 1.415， P = 0.023），hydronephrosis（ OR = 1.840，95% CI 1.236 - 2.740， P = 0.003），stone length（ OR = 1.587，95% CI 1.142 - 2.206， P = 0.006），ureteral wall thickness（UWT）（ OR = 1.643，95% CI 1.263 - 2.136， P < 0.001），and DDR（ OR = 2.907，95% CI 1.040 - 8.130， P = 0.042）.Based on these independent predictive factors，a nomogram prediction model for impacted ureteral stones was constructed. The area under the ROC curve was 0.797（95% CI 0.737 - 0.858），and the calibration curve showed good consistency. The decision curve suggested that the model had good clinical net benefit. Conclusions:NLR，hydronephrosis，stone length，UWT，and DDR are all independent predictors for impacted ureteral stones. The nomogram model constructed based on these factors has good predictive performance.

Clinical data of a patient with alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) treated at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was initially diagnosed with abdominal ASPS with multiple lung metastases. After 6 weeks of treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab, the patient achieved stable disease (SD). In the 7th week, the treatment was changed to a combination of nivolumab (30 mg, d1, q3w), anlotinib (8 mg, d1-14, q3w) and ipilimumab (50 mg, d1, q6w). The patient remained SD at the 12th week. The patient then underwent iliac artery embolization and intensity-modulated radiation therapy for the lesion in the psoas major muscle, while continuing the combination treatment. By the 24th week, the evaluation showed partial remission (PR) of both primary tumor and lung metastases. The patient experienced mild adverse reactions during treatment.

Objective: To establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures. Methods: Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination. Conclusion The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of intelligent temperature-pressure-controlled flexible ureteroscopy combined with negative-pressure suction sheath lithotripsy in the treatment of upper urinary tract stones ≤2.5 cm. Methods: The clinical data of 225 patients with ≤2.5 cm upper urinary tract stones treated with this surgical method in our department during Aug. 2023 and Jul. 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the dual-control group (n=36) and conventional group (n=189) according to whether or not the intelligent temperature and pressure control device was used during operation. In the dual-control group，the intraoperative temperature and pressure in the renal pelvis were monitored and controlled in real time by the temperature and pressure sensors distributed at the end of the ureteral soft lens. The perioperative parameters，stone-removal rate，complication rate and renal function were compared between the two groups. Results: All operations were successfully completed in both groups. The postoperative procalcitonin (PCT) level [(22.75±5.85) ng/L vs. (29.08±6.60) ng/L，P=0.001]，difference in the white blood cell (WBC) level [(0.24±2.12)×10 cells/L vs. (1.19±2.17)×10 cells/L，P=0.016]，incidence of fever (2.8% vs. 16.9%，P=0.028) and overall complication rate (5.6% vs. 19.6%，P=0.042) were significantly lower in the dual-control group than in the conventional group，while the stone-clearance rate was slightly higher (88.9% vs. 82.5%，P=0.346)，with no significant difference. Conclusion: For upper urinary tract stones ≤2.5 cm，intelligent temperature-pressure-controlled ureteroscopy combined with negative-pressure suction sheath lithotripsy has a satisfactory stone-removal rate and a low rate of complications，which is worthy of clinical promotion.

BackgroundCurrently， the problem of depressed mood in college students is becoming more prominent. The experience of childhood maltreatment is a significant contributor to depression among college students. Although the association between the two has been confirmed， the specific psychosocial mechanisms underlying how childhood maltreatment affects college students' mental health remain insufficiently evidenced. ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and depression among college students， and to investigate the moderated effects of psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status， aiming to provide references for improving depressive symptoms in college students. MethodsOn 14 March 2024， a cluster sampling method was employed to recruit 751 college students from a university in Heilongjiang Province. Participants were assessed with Childhood Trauma Questionnaire （CTQ）， Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale （DERS）， Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC-10） and Family Socioeconomic Status Questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation between the scores of scales. Model 4 and model 7 in Process 4.2 were used to test the mediating effects of emotional regulation difficulties and the moderated effects of psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status. Results① A total of 712 （94.81%） valid questionnaires were collected. ② College students' CTQ score was positively correlated with DERS score and PHQ-9 score （r=0.296， 0.507， P<0.01）， and negatively correlated with CD-RISC-10 score and Family Socioeconomic Status Questionnaire score （r=-0.148， -0.229， P<0.01）. ③ The indirect effect value of difficulties in emotion regulation on the relationship between childhood maltreatment and depression was 0.091 （95% CI： 0.018~0.046）， accounting for 17.95% of the total effect. ④ The first half of the mediation model "childhood maltreatment → difficulties in emotion regulation → depression" （childhood maltreatment → difficulties in emotion regulation） was moderated by psychological resilience （β=-0.030， t=-6.147， 95% CI： -0.040~-0.020） and family socioeconomic status （β=-0.051， t=-3.929， 95% CI： -0.077~-0.026）. ConclusionChildhood maltreatment exerts both a direct effect on college students' depression and an indirect effect through emotion regulation difficulties. The childhood maltreatment → emotion regulation difficulties pathway in this mediation model is moderated by psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status. ［Funded by Qiqihar Medical University Graduate Student Innovation Fund Project （number， QYYCX2023-48）； Special Research Fund Project for Young Doctors of Qiqihar Academy of Medical Sciences （number， QMSI2021B-08）］
