Objective: To develop QingNangTCM, a specialized large language model (LLM) tailored for expert-level traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) question-answering and clinical reasoning, addressing the scarcity of domain-specific corpora and specialized alignment. Methods: We constructed QnTCM_Dataset, a corpus of 100 000 entries, by integrating data from ShenNong_TCM_Dataset and SymMap v2.0, and synthesizing additional samples via retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and persona-driven generation. The dataset comprehensively covers diagnostic inquiries, prescriptions, and herbal knowledge. Utilizing P-Tuning v2, we fine-tuned the GLM-4-9B-Chat backbone to develop QingNangTCM. A multi-dimensional evaluation framework, assessing accuracy, coverage, consistency, safety, professionalism, and fluency, was established using metrics such as bilingual evaluation understudy (BLEU), recall-oriented understudy for gisting evaluation (ROUGE), metric for evaluation of translation with explicit ordering (METEOR), and LLM-as-a-Judge with expert review. Qualitative analysis was conducted across four simulated clinical scenarios: symptom analysis, disease treatment, herb inquiry, and failure cases. Baseline models included GLM-4-9B-Chat, DeepSeek-V2, HuatuoGPT-II (7B), and GLM-4-9B-Chat (freeze-tuning). Results: QingNangTCM achieved the highest scores in BLEU-1/2/3/4 (0.425/0.298/0.137/0.064), ROUGE-1/2 (0.368/0.157), and METEOR (0.218), demonstrating a balanced and superior normalized performance profile of 0.900 across the dimensions of accuracy, coverage, and consistency. Although its ROUGE-L score (0.299) was lower than that of HuatuoGPT-II (7B) (0.351), it significantly outperformed domain-specific models in expert-validated win rates for professionalism (86%) and safety (73%). Qualitative analysis confirmed that the model strictly adheres to the “symptom-syndrome-pathogenesis-treatment” reasoning chain, though occasional misclassifications and hallucinations persisted when dealing with rare medicinal materials and uncommon syndromes. Conclusion Combining domain-specific corpus construction with parameter-efficient prompt tuning enhances the reasoning behavior and domain adaptation of LLMs for TCM-related tasks. This work provides a technical framework for the digital organization and intelligent utilization of TCM knowledge, with potential value for supporting diagnostic reasoning and medical education.

Objective On the basis of the theory of the tumor metastatic state, this work aims to explore the metastasis trajectories and peripheral immune response patterns in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving vital qi-strengthening and toxin-eliminating therapy (Fuzheng Juandu) and reveal the value of peripheral immunity in assessing vital qi deficiency during metastasis. Methods A retrospective study design was adopted. Patients with NSCLC admitted from January 1, 2018, to October 31, 2025 were enrolled. Data on metastasis status and peripheral immune indices were collected at the follow-up time points of one, two, three, and five years. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to fit metastasis trajectories, and the independent predictors of trajectory grouping were analyzed through multifactor and multiclassification logistic regression. Results A total of 184 patients with NSCLC were included, and three different groups of metastasis trajectories were identified, namely, the low-risk stable (46.74%, n=86), low-risk rising (13.59%, n=25), and high-risk stable (39.67%, n=73) groups. Univariate analysis revealed substantial differences in peripheral immune indices among the three trajectory groups. Multivariate analysis showed that TNM stage, absolute neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, absolute monocyte count, platelet volume, SAA:CRP ratio, and NLR were independent predictors of the low-risk rising group, whereas TNM stage, absolute monocyte count, basophil count, SII, and NLR were independent predictors of the high-risk stable group. Conclusion Under Fuzheng Juandu therapy, patients with NSCLC exhibit three distinct metastasis trajectories, each corresponding to a specific peripheral immune response pattern. Elucidating these peripheral immune response patterns may facilitate the objective quantification of the degree of vital qi deficiency, prediction of future metastasis risk, and providing an important reference for the individualized clinical implementation of Fuzheng Juandu therapy.

ObjectiveTo summarize the incidence and clinical features of drug hypersensitivity reactions in children treated with sustained-releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists （GnRHa）， aiming to provide guidance for the safe clinical application of GnRHa in children. MethodsThe medical data of children diagnosed with central precocious puberty （CPP） or early and fast puberty （EFP） were retrospectively analyzed， who received GnRHa treatment at the Children's Growth Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 1990 and July 2023. The occurrence of GnRHa-related drug hypersensitivity reactions were summarized， including the incidence and clinical features of systemic reactions and sterile abscesses. ResultsAmong the 1 684 children treated with GnRHa for CPP/EFP， the female-to-male ratio was 3.8∶1. A total of nine children （0.53%） developed 44 occurrences of drug hypersensitivity reactions. Four children （0.24%） presented with sterile abscesses （21 occurrences）， and five children （0.30%） experienced systemic hypersensitivity reactions （14 occurrences）. Four children were hypersensitive to triptorelin acetate， three were hypersensitive to leuprorelin acetate， and two were hypersensitive to both triptorelin acetate and leuprorelin acetate. The predominant hypersensitivity reactions to leuprorelin acetate were sterile abscesses， observed in four cases （4/277， 1.44%）， whereas the main reactions to triptorelin acetate were systemic hypersensitivity reactions， affecting five cases （5/1 501， 0.33%）. Case one presented with a severe and complex condition， exhibiting hypersensitivity to multiple GnRHa preparations （sustained-releasing triptorelin， sustained-releasing leuprorelin， and short-acting triptorelin）， and presenting with diverse manifestations， including induration， sterile abscesses， systemic hypersensitivity reactions， and even loss of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis， leading to treatment failure. ConclusionsThe proportion of children experiencing drug hypersensitivity reactions to sustained-releasing GnRHa is relatively low at 0.53%， with diverse manifestations. The reactions primarily manifest as sterile abscesses and systemic hypersensitivity reactions， and in severe cases， may lead to treatment failure due to loss of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

Iron is involved in several activities in the brain, including energy metabolism, neurotransmitter transmission, and myelination. Disorder of peripheral iron metabolism and excessive iron accumulation in the brain can reduce cognitive and behavioral ability through pathological mechanisms such as inflammatory response and abnormal protein expression, leading to cognitive disorders. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), as a new non-invasive magnetic resonance technique, can quantitatively measure brain iron deposition, clarify the relationship between cognitive disorders and iron homeostasis imbalance, and provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the diseases. This article reviews the latest research progress of QSM in brain iron deposition associated with cognitive disorders.

Objective To understand the clinical applicability and implementation of expert consensus on the implementation and removal of protective restraints in psychiatry,and to provide references for promoting the standardized practice of psychiatric protective restraints and updating the consensus.Methods By the convenience sampling method,a questionnaire survey was conducted among nurses from 480 hospitals in 30 provinces from June 15 to July 15,2024.The survey was conducted using the instrument for evaluating clinical applicability of guide-lines(version 2.0)and a self-compiled questionnaire on the clinical implementation of the restraint consensus.Results A total of 7,844 valid questionnaires were collected,with a valid questionnaire recovery rate of 93.78％.The results of clinical applicability scoring showed that the consensus had the lowest availability score(64.72％)and the highest acceptability score(76.74％).The results showed that nurses' receiving training and the level of their hospitals were the main influencing factors for scores in various dimensions(P＜0.05).4,774 participants(87.42％)believed that the application of consensus could enhance the standardization of nurses' restraint operations.The safety rate of the restraint consensus was 79.51％,and the economic ratio was 76.87％.Among the evaluators,1,739(22.17％)believed that there were implementation obstacles in the consensus.Conclusion The clinical applicability of the consensus is relatively good,and the application of the consensus helps to improve the standardization of clinical operations.In the future,efforts should be made to strengthen the promotion and training of the consensus,develop hierarchical promotion strategies according to the characteristics of medical institutions,and improve the quality of evidence for the consensus,so as to further enhance the clinical application effect of the consensus.

Objective To evaluate the safety of two-port laparoscopic myomectomy through transumbilical laparoendoscopic single site surgery(TU-LESS)plus one auxiliary port in obese patients.Methods Clinical data of 139 cases who underwent two-port laparoscopic myomectomy from July 2020 to July 2023 were analyzed retrospectively,including 24 cases with body mass index(BMI)≥28 and 115 cases with BMI＜28.The patients underwent surgery through a transumbilical single-site port along with an additional left lower abdominal port equipped with a 5 mm trocar,utilizing the conventional multiport laparoscope and surgical instruments.The perioperative indexes were observed and compared between the two groups.Results A second auxiliary port was added due to operational challenge encountered in 1 case(BMI=31.6),and the other 138 procedures were successfully completed without conversion to other surgery.No severe intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred.There were no significant differences between the two groups in the perioperative indexes including operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hemoglobin difference before and after surgery,time to first postoperative exhaust,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)of pain at 24 h after surgery,postoperative fever,postoperative hospital stay,and hospitalization costs(P＞0.05).Conclusion Two-port laparoscopic myomectomy through TU-LESS plus one auxiliary port for obese patients is safe and feasible.

BACKGROUND:The imbalance between proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes plays an important role in the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis. Previous studies have found that hsa-miR-3202 is involved in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of various cells. However,no studies have explored the correlation between hsa-miR-3202 and osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of hsa-miR-3202 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes and its effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes. METHODS:(1) MicroRNAs differentially expressed in osteoarthritic chondrocytes were screened by biogenic analysis. Based on the current research situation at home and abroad,hsa-miR-3202 was selected for follow-up studies,and its target genes were predicted by gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. (2) Human normal chondrocyte cell lines C28/I2 in logarithmic growth phase were selected and randomly divided into four groups for culture:in normal group,cells were cultured in normal medium for 24 hours,the medium was then changed to normal medium for another 6 hours of culture,and changed to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours,the medium was then changed to normal medium for another 6 hours,and changed to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide+NC group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours,and then transfected with has-miR-3202 mimics control for 6 hours,and the medium was change to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide+hsa-miR-3202 mimics group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours and then transfected with has-miR-3202 mimics for 6 hours,and the medium was changed to normal medium for subsequent culture. After further 48 hours of culture,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. After further culture of 0-72 hours,cell proliferation activity was detected by cell counting kit-8. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bioinformatics analysis results indicated that hsa-miR-3202 was significantly down-regulated in osteoarthritic chondrocytes. GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment showed that the function of hsa-miR-3202 target gene was closely related to cell growth and apoptosis. The results of in vitro cell experiments showed that compared with the normal group,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 and proliferation ability of chondrocytes were significantly decreased in the lipopolysaccharide group (P<0.05),while the apoptotic rate was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 and proliferation ability of chondrocytes were significantly increased in the lipopolysaccharide+hsa-miR-3202 mimics group (P<0.05),while the apoptotic rate was significantly decreased (P<0.05). To conclude,the expression of hsa-miR-3202 is down-regulated in osteoarthritic chondrocytes to inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis,thus affecting the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis.
