This paper has constructed a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) specialized disease dataset platform for mixed hemorrhoids based on a multimodal large model, and the preliminary application has been validated. The platform uses StarRocks to establish a four-level data warehouse system, enabling the aggregation, cleaning, and standardization of multi-source heterogeneous data. Using DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B as the base model, domain fine-tuning is performed through low-rank adaptation (LoRA) technology. Combined with LLaMA-3.3 natural language processing and reasoning chain techniques, the platform enables intelligent parsing and structured extraction of unstructured TCM medical records. It accurately identifies six major categories and 28 subcategories of entities, including symptoms and syndromes, with a fine-tuned model F1 score of 93.8%. The platform has established a high-quality specialized disease dataset containing more than 50,000 medical records and has been applied in a real-world study involving 17,831 patients, preliminarily verifying the efficacy of TCM heritage surgery.

BACKGROUND:Lumbar degenerative disease is a disease of the musculoskeletal system that primarily affects the intervertebral structures,and the disease is treated with lumbar fusion and disc replacement.OBJECTIVE:To conduct comparative analysis of the differences between lumbar fusion,mechanical lumbar disc prosthesis replacement,and viscoelastic lumbar disc prosthesis replacement.METHODS:The computerized tomography images of a healthy adult were used to construct a finite element model of the L2-L5 normal lumbar spine with Mimic,Geomagic,and Ansys software.The equipment required for lumbar fusion and lumbar spine replacement was constructed using modeling software,and the L3-L4 segment of the lumbar spine was processed according to the surgical requirements for lumbar fusion and intervertebral disc replacement,creating the corresponding finite element model.Specific boundary conditions were applied to extract the mobility of each lumbar spine segment,the stresses on the neighboring intervertebral discs,and the stresses on the prosthesis lining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the preoperative period,the maximum stress in the upper neighboring discs increased by 64.09%and 39.79%in the forward flexion and lateral bending states if the original mobility was maintained after lumbar fusion surgery.The maximum stress in the lower neighboring discs increased by 24.39%and 20.98%in forward flexion and lateral bending.This suggested that the upper adjacent discs would suffer greater stress changes than the lower adjacent discs during heavy physical labor.(2)Disc replacement did not show significant changes in adjacent disc stress,with mechanical prosthesis replacement slightly reducing adjacent disc stress,while viscoelastic prosthesis replacement was more in line with the biological properties of the disc,with maximum adjacent disc stress similar to that of the preoperative period.(3)In terms of stability,the mechanical prosthesis replacement segment showed a 51.67%increase in range of motion in the lateral bending state and a 53.27%increase in range of motion in the posterior extension state,whereas the viscoelastic prosthesis was better able to maintain mobility in the replacement segment.(4)In addition,the stresses in the liner of the mechanical prosthesis were mainly concentrated in the edge region,and this stress distribution may lead to edge wear and thus affect the service life of the prosthesis.

Objective To explore the association of diabetes status with the development of tuberculosis (TB) among the community population in Shanghai, and to provide evidence for the formulation of tuberculosis prevention and control strategies. Methods This population-based cohort study was based on Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank (SSACB) in China. The baseline data were acquired by questionnaires, physical examinations and blood biochemistry tests. TB incidence was obtained by matching with TB management information system data. A Cox proportional risk model was established to assess the risk of tuberculosis. Results A total of 36 014 research subjects were included, with an average age of 56.3±11.3 years, of which 14 587 (40.5%) were male. Over 6 years of follow-up, 47 individuals progressed to tuberculosis (incidence rate: 19.8 per 100 000 person-year, 95% CI: 14.6 -26.4). An increased risk of TB was observed in participants with newly diagnosed diabetes compared with those without diabetes (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.73; 95% CI, 1.19 - 6.28). Conclusion The risk of tuberculosis in newly diagnosed diabetic patients is significantly increased, and strengthening tuberculosis screening for this population should be considered in practical work.

Objective:
To investigate the coexistence of comorbidity of myopia, overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms among middle school students in Quzhou and its associated factors, so as to provide evidence for integrated prevention and control of common multiple health issues in students.
Methods:
From September to November 2023, a total of 5 867 middle school students from 6 counties (cities and districts) in Quzhou City were selected by stratified random cluster sampling. Physical and visual examinations were conducted, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies - Depression Scale (CES-D) along with a questionnaire on health status and influencing factors were completed. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of coexistence of myopia, overweight/obesity, and depressive symptoms among middle school students, and a nomogram model was constructed based on the results.
Results:
A total of 161 middle school students in Quzhou City were identified as having comorbid myopia, overweight/ obesity and depressive symptoms, with a detection rate of 2.74%. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the coexistence of myopia, overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms increased among middle school students with older age ( OR =1.11), a greater number unhealthy dietary behaviors (1,2,≥3; OR =2.40, 2.70, 4.63), insufficient sleep( OR =1.78) and alcohol consumption ( OR =2.11)(all P <0.05). Compared with no homework after class, those whose homework duration after class was 1 to < 2 hour had a lower risk of comorbidity of myopia, overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms ( OR =0.53, P <0.05). The results of the nomogram model showed that the AUC (95% CI ) was 0.71 (0.67-0.74).
Conclusions
The coexistence of myopia, overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms among middle school students in Quzhou City is related to age, sleeping, alcohol consumption, poor dietary behavior and the duration of after school homework. The nomogram model can assist in the early screening and intervention of multiple health issues among students.

OBJECTIVE To resolve account discrepancies caused by drug price adjustment in medical institution pharmacy management and reduce the time required for price adjustment. METHODS The problems existing in the drug price adjustment models of domestic medical institutions were investigated, and a drug price adjustment system was developed based on price- invoice synchronization mechanism. The system optimized the drug price adjustment process through batch number matching and real-time monitoring functionalities. The account consistency rate and price adjustment time were evaluated before and after system implementation. RESULTS A drug price adjustment system was successfully developed, featuring an innovative “synchronized entry and exit” mode, batch number matching, real-time monitoring, intelligent automation, and electronic traceability. After implementation, the account consistency rate for Western medicines increased from 86.89% (86.66%, 89.63%) to 100% (100%, 100%) (P=0.005), while Chinese patent medicines and herbal medicines maintained a 100% (100%, 100%) account consistency rate. Concurrently, the drug price adjustment time significantly decreased from 6.00 (5.00, 7.00)d to 2.50 (1.50, 3.00) d (P< 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The developed system significantly improves account consistency, shortens price adjustment time, and demonstrates notable innovation and practical utility.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the therapeutic mechanism of compound Centella asiatica formula (CCA) for alleviating Schistosoma japonicum (Sj)-induced liver fibrosis in mice.
METHODS:
The active components and targets of CCA were identified using the TCMSP database with cross-analysis of Sj-related liver fibrosis targets. A "drug-component-target-pathway-disease" network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1. Functional enrichment analysis (GO/KEGG) was performed using DAVID. Molecular docking study was carried out to validate interactions between the core targets and the key compounds. For experimental validation of the results, 36 mice were divided into control group, Sj-infected model group, and CCA-treated groups. In the latter two groups, liver fibrosis was induced via abdominal infection with Sj cercariae for 8 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of daily treatment with CCA decoction or saline. Hepatic pathology of the mice was assessedwith HE and Masson staining, and hepatic expressions of collagen-I and collagen-III were detected using immunohistochemistry; serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were determined with ELISA. Hepatic expressions of TLR4 and MyD88 proteins were analyzed with Western blotting.
RESULTS:
We identified a total of 107 bioactive CCA components and 791 targets, including 37 intersection targets linked to Sj-induced fibrosis. The core targets included TNF, TP53, JUN, MMP9, and CXCL8, involving the IL-17 signaling, lipid metabolism, TLR4/MyD88 axis, and cancer pathways. Molecular docking study confirmed strong binding affinity between quercetin (a primary CCA component) and TNF/TP53/JUN/MMP9. In Sj-infected mouse models, CCA treatment significantly attenuated hepatic inflammatory cell infiltration, reduced collagen-I and collagen-III deposition, improved tissue architecture, reduced serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels, and downregulated TLR4 and MyD88 expressions in the liver.
CONCLUSIONS
CCA mitigates Sj-induced liver fibrosis by targeting TNF, TP53, JUN, and MMP9 to modulate the TLR4/MyD88 pathway, thereby suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine release, inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation, reducing collagen deposition, and preventing granuloma formation in the liver.
