Drug repurposing offers a promising alternative to traditional drug development and significantly reduces costs and timelines by identifying new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. However, the current approaches often rely on limited data sources and simplistic hypotheses, which restrict their ability to capture the multi-faceted nature of biological systems. This study introduces adaptive multi-view learning (AMVL), a novel methodology that integrates chemical-induced transcriptional profiles (CTPs), knowledge graph (KG) embeddings, and large language model (LLM) representations, to enhance drug repurposing predictions. AMVL incorporates an innovative similarity matrix expansion strategy and leverages multi-view learning (MVL), matrix factorization, and ensemble optimization techniques to integrate heterogeneous multi-source data. Comprehensive evaluations on benchmark datasets (Fdataset, Cdataset, and Ydataset) and the large-scale iDrug dataset demonstrate that AMVL outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods, achieving superior accuracy in predicting drug-disease associations across multiple metrics. Literature-based validation further confirmed the model's predictive capabilities, with seven out of the top ten predictions corroborated by post-2011 evidence. To promote transparency and reproducibility, all data and codes used in this study were open-sourced, providing resources for processing CTPs, KG, and LLM-based similarity calculations, along with the complete AMVL algorithm and benchmarking procedures. By unifying diverse data modalities, AMVL offers a robust and scalable solution for accelerating drug discovery, fostering advancements in translational medicine and integrating multi-omics data. We aim to inspire further innovations in multi-source data integration and support the development of more precise and efficient strategies for advancing drug discovery and translational medicine.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of robot assisted total gastrectomy plus hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy.Methods:The clinical data of 72 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer and undergoing total gastrectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University from Nov 2021 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups: robot-assisted total gastrectomy (RATG) group, consisting of 30 patients, and laparoscopic assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) group, consisting of 42 patients . In the RATG group, the digestive tract was reconstructed by manual suture under the robot scope and Roux-Y reconstruction was performed . In LATG group, digestive tract reconstruction was performed using an in vitro stapler and Roux-Y. The clinicopathological data, perioperative indexes, and postoperative follow-up data of both groups were observed and analyzed.Results:All 72 patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to open laparotomy. The total operation time in RATG group was longer than that in LATG group [(235.2±25.8) min vs. (200.7±40.6) min, t=4.099, P<0.05)].RATG was superior to LATG group in terms of digestive tract reconstruction time, postoperative fluid intake time and hospitalization days,the difference was statistically significant [(36.9±3.0) min vs.(39.4±4.5) min, (4.2±0.5) d vs. (5.2±0.6) d、(9.5±1.6) d vs. (10.8±2.4)d, t=-2.554,-7.135,-2.595, all P<0.05]; In terms of postoperative pathology, the number of lymph node dissection in RATG group was higher than that in LATG group [(29.8±6.2) vs. (26.3±7.5), t=2.197, P<0.05]. Conclusion:The application of delayed disconnection hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy in Da Vinci robot total gastrectomy is safe and feasible for cure-intent total gastrectomy in patients of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection among patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in some regions of China. Methods Serum samples were collected from 3 131 patients with chronic HBV infection in 10 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions of China from March 2021 to June 2022, and anti-HDV IgG ELISA was used for the detection of all serum samples. Nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR) was used to detect HDV RNA in anti-HDV IgG-positive samples, and the nRT-PCR amplification products of HDV RNA-positive samples were sequenced and analyzed to determine HDV genotype. The clinical features of anti-HDV IgG-positive patients were analyzed. The Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Results The positive rate of anti-HDV IgG in the 3 131 patients with chronic HBV infection was 0.70% (22/3 131), and that in the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Beijing, and Hunan Province was 1.81% (16/886), 0.88% (2/226), 0.28% (2/708), and 1.00% (2/200), respectively; the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region had a significantly higher positive rate of anti-HDV IgG than those in Beijing ( P =0.004), and there was no significant difference between the other regions ( P > 0.05). Clinical features of the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region showed that compared with the anti-HDV IgG-negative group, the anti-HDV IgG-positive group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with Mongol nationality ( P =0.001), abnormal alanine aminotransferase ( P =0.007), or antiviral treatment ( P =0.029), as well as a significantly lower median HBV DNA level ( P =0.030). A total of 19 HDV RNA-positive samples were identified, all of which had HDV genotype 1. Conclusion The prevalence rate of HDV varies greatly across different regions of China, with a higher prevalence rate of HDV in patients with chronic HBV infection from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. HDV genotype 1 is the predominant genotype in some provinces and cities of northern China.

Objective:To explore the value of video-electroencephalography (VEEG) combined with amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) in evaluating the condition and prognosis of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia brain injuries.Methods:A total of 120 children with hyperbilirubinemia treatedin the Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture from July 2019 to July 2020 were enrolled. According to MRI with or without T 1 weighted imging (T 1WI) hyperintensity changes in the globus pallidus, they were divided into the brain injury group (52 cases) and the normal group(68 cases). According to the severity of brain injury, the brain injury group was divided into bilirubin encephalopathy group (23 cases) and subclinical bilirubin brain injury group (29 cases). According to the scores of Gesell Development Scale, the brain injury group was divided into good prognosis group (37 cases)and poor prognosis group (15 cases). The diagnostic value in brain injury with hyperbilirubinemia, the evaluation of the severity of brain injury and the predictive value of VEEG and aEEG were analyzed. Results:The abnormal rates of VEEG and aEEG in the brain injury group were higher than those in the normal group: 76.92% (40/52) vs. 8.82% (6/68), 80.77% (42/52) vs. 11.76% (8/68), the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 57.81 and 57.73, P<0.01). The abnormal rates of VEEG and aEEG in bilirubin encephalopathy group were higher than those in subclinical bilirubin brain injury group: 91.30% (21/23) vs. 65.52% (19/29), 95.65% (22/23) vs. 68.97% (20/29), the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.80 and 5.88, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in abnormal rates of VEEG and aEEG between the good prognosis group and poor prognosis group ( P>0.05). The results of operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve of VEEG combined with aEEG in the diagnosis of brain injury with hyperbilirubinemia, evaluation of the severity of brain injury, predicting the prognosis of children were higher than those of each examination method used alone ( P<0.05). Conclusions:VEEG combined with aEEG has diagnostic value for neonatal brain injury with hyperbilirubinemia, and has evaluation value for severity and prognosis of the disease.

The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) puts higher demands on critical care medicine. Lots of studies have been conducted to solve COVID-19-related problems. Therefore, we reviewed the annual progress for COVID-19-related issues including antivirals threapies, respiratory support and immunomodulatory therapies and other critical issues, including the effect of antibiotic on mitochondrial damage and its relationship with sepsis, the goal and direction of antimicrobial de-escalation, drug prophylaxis of constipation, bleeding in gastrointestinal disorders and management of critical illness in the informalization era and so on.

New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) is capable of hydrolyzing nearly all β-lactam antibiotics, posing an emerging threat to public health. There are currently less effective treatment options for treating NDM-1 positive “superbug”, and no promising NDM-1 inhibitors were used in clinical practice. In this study, structure–activity relationship based on thiosemicarbazone derivatives was systematically characterized and their potential activities combined with meropenem (MEM) were evaluated. Compounds 19bg and 19bh exhibited excellent activity against 10 NDM-positive isolate clinical isolates in reversing MEM resistance. Further studies demonstrated compounds 19bg and 19bh were uncompetitive NDM-1 inhibitors with Ki = 0.63 and 0.44 μmol/L, respectively. Molecular docking speculated that compounds 19bg and 19bh were most likely to bind in the allosteric pocket which would affect the catalytic effect of NDM-1 on the substrate meropenem. Toxicity evaluation experiment showed that no hemolysis activities even at concentrations of 1000 mg/mL against red blood cells. In vivo experimental results showed combination of MEM and compound 19bh was markedly effective in treating infections caused by NDM-1 positive strain and prolonging the survival time of sepsis mice. Our finding showed that compound 19bh might be a promising lead in developing new inhibitor to treat NDM-1 producing superbug.

Objective:To investigate the effect of CD 8+ CD 25+ FoxP3 + regulatory T cell (Treg) expression levels in peripheral blood of pregnant women with premature rupture of fetal membranes(PROM) on immune function of helper T cells (Th) 1/Th2. Methods:Thirty cases of pregnant women with PROM (PROM group), 30 cases of normal pregnant women (normal pregnancy group) and 30 cases of normal non-pregnant women (non-pregnancy group) who treated in Binhai County People′s Hospital from September 2019 to May 2020 were collected. Peripheral blood of each group was collected and the proportion of CD 8+ CD 25+ FoxP3 + Treg was determined by flow cytometry. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were extracted and FoxP3 mRNA was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The levels of Th1-related cytokines interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-2, and Th2-related cytokines IL-10 and IL-4 were measured by Luminex liquid phase microarray. The effects of CD 8+ CD 25+ FoxP3 + Tregexpression on Th1/Th2 balance were analyzed. Results:The proportion of CD 8+ CD 25+ FoxP3 + Tregand the expression of FoxP3 mRNA in PROM groupand normal pregnancy group were lower than those in non-pregnancy group: (0.15 ± 0.03) %, (0.35 ± 0.09) % vs. (0.47 ± 0.11) %; 0.89 ± 0.11, 3.15 ± 0.67 vs. 3.75 ± 0.23 , the proportion of CD 8+ CD 25+ FoxP3 + Treg and the expression of FoxP3 mRNA in PROM groupwere lower than those in the normal pregnancy group , and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of Th1-related cytokines IFN-γ and IL-2 in PROM group and normal pregnancy group were higher than those in non-pregnancy group, the level of Th2-related cytokines IL-4 was lower than that in non-pregnancy group , the levels of IFN-γ and IL-2 in PROM group were higher than those in normal pregnancy group, the level of IL-4 was lower than that in normal pregnancy group , and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In PROM group, the proportion of CD 8+ CD 25+ FoxP3 + Treg and the expression of FoxP3 mRNA in peripheral blood were negatively correlated with Th1-related cytokines IFN-γ ( r = - 0.413, -0.451, P<0.05) and IL-22 ( r = -0.645, -0.535, P<0.05), and were positively correlated with Th2-related cytokines IL-4 ( r = 0.558, 0.469, P<0.05). Conclusions:The proportion of CD 8+ CD 25+ FoxP3 + Treg in peripheral blood of pregnant women with PROM is lower, and the expression level of related FoxP3 mRNA is lower, which all affecte the Th1/Th2 immune balance and cause Th1 immune drift, which may be the related immune mechanism of PROM.

Objective? To explore the effects of prone position combined with reverse Trendelenburg position on improving hypoxemia and respiratory mechanics of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Methods? From January 2017 to December 2017, we selected ARDS inpatients in Intensive Care Unit at Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University as subjects by convenience sampling. The total of 20 patients were divided into group A and group B with the method of random number table. Patients of group A adopted prone position for two hours firstly, and then they adopted prone position combined with reverse Trendelenburg position for six hours. Patients of group B adopted prone position combined with reverse Trendelenburg position for two hours firstly, and then they adopted prone position for six hours. During treatment, we assessed the function of pulmonary ventilation and respiratory mechanics of patients. Results? There were statistical differences in different time, different groups and interaction between time and groups among ARDS patients between two groups (P＜ 0.01). Two hours after intervention, the oxygenation index of group B was higher than that of group A with no statistical difference (P＞0.05). One, five and eight hours after intervention, the oxygenation indexes of group A were higher than those of group B with statistical differences (P＜ 0.05). The oxygenation index of group A increased with time, and that of group B increased two hours after intervention and then reduced. There was no statistical difference in the respiratory mechanics of patients between two groups (P＞ 0.05). Conclusions? Prone position combined with reverse Trendelenburg position can improve the oxygenation of ARDS patients.
