Objective: To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of topical preparations of Mongolian medicine Manggari hot compress therapy (hereafter referred to as Manggari hot compress therapy) in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) and explore the possible pharmacological material basis in the formula, providing evidence for the clinical application of Mongolian medicine in the treatment of CSR. Methods: The clinical trial employed a randomized, controlled, open-label, and outcome-assessor-blinded design. The CSR patients who were treated at the Department of Traditional Therapeutics Outpatient Clinic, Xilinguole Meng Mongolian General Hospital between July 1, 2024 and August 31, 2025, were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to three groups: an oral control group (administration of oral administration of mecobalamin tablets combined with cervical electric traction), an experimental group (Manggari external hot compress), and a patch control group (flurbiprofen gel plaster). The intervention lasted two weeks. Before and after treatment, the following subjective indicators were recorded: Mongolian Medicine Syndrome (MMS) score, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) score, and tongue morphology. Serum levels of inflammatory markers [tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β)] and oxidative stress markers [malondialdehyde (MDA) content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity] were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Overall therapeutic efficacy was evaluated. One month after treatment completion, a follow-up assessment was conducted, and the MMS, VAS, and NPQ scores were recorded again for all patients. For the pharmacological substance exploration, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Q-exactive orbitrap-mass (UHPLC-QE-MS) was employed to analyze blood-absorbed prototype components of Manggari, under both positive and negative ion modes. The targeting relationship between the core active compounds and the target protein was validated using molecular docking. Results: This study ultimately included 90 patients with CSR for analysis. Baseline characteristics showed no statistically significant differences among the three groups (P > 0.05). (i) Symptom scores. After treatment, the MMS, VAS, and NPQ scores decreased significantly from baseline in all three groups (P < 0.001). At follow-up, there was no significant difference in MMS, VAS, and NPQ scores of the experimental group compared with those at the end of the treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, the experimental group showed significantly greater reductions in MMS, VAS, and NPQ scores than oral control and patch control groups (P < 0.001). At follow-up, these differences remained significant (P < 0.001). (ii) Inflammatory and oxidative stress markers. After treatment, serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, and MDA activity decreased significantly from baseline in all three groups (P < 0.001), and SOD content and GSH-Px activity increased significantly from baseline (P < 0.05). After treatment, the experimental group had significantly lower serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β than oral and patch control groups. Additionally, it exhibited lower MDA activity and higher SOD content and GSH-Px activity compared with the two control groups. (P < 0.05). (iii) Overall efficacy. The total effective rate was 93.33% in the experimental group, 86.66% in the oral control group, and 83.33% in the patch control group. (iv) Pharmacological substance analysis. A total of 152 compounds were identified in the blood-absorbed components of Manggari. Among them, the core compounds—4-hydroxycoumarin, N-methylanthranilic acid, genistein, and ginsenoside-Rk1—showed binding energies to the key target proteins TNF-α and IL-1β range from − 4.7 to − 7.1 kcal/mol, with the majority of the binding energies being below − 5.0 kcal/mol, suggesting that it generally has a good binding affinity. Conclusion Mongolian medicine hot compress therapy effectively modulates inflammatory and oxidative stress responses through the combined action of its thermal effects and active pharmaceutical ingredients Manggari. It inhibits cervical nerve root inflammation and alleviates radicular pain, improving clinical symptoms, reducing pain severity, and alleviating neck functional disability.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially generative AI (GenAI), has already brought, and will continue to bring, revolutionary changes to our daily production and life, as well as create new opportunities and challenges for diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the medical field. Haihe Hospital of Tianjin University collaborates with the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin, Tianjin University, and other institutions to carry out research in areas such as smart healthcare, smart services, and smart management. We have conducted research and development of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system based on GenAI in the field of smart healthcare. The development of this project is of great significance. The first goal is to upgrade and transform the hospital's information center, organically integrate it with existing information systems, and provide the necessary computing power storage support for intelligent services within the hospital. We have implemented the localized deployment of three models: Tianhe "Tianyuan", WiNGPT, and DeepSeek. The second is to create a digital avatar of the chief physician/chief physician's voice and image by integrating multimodal intelligent interaction technology. With generative intelligence as the core, this solution provides patients with a visual medical interaction solution. The third is to achieve deep adaptation between generative intelligence and the entire process of patient medical treatment. In this project, we have developed assistant tools such as intelligent inquiry, intelligent diagnosis and recognition, intelligent treatment plan generation, and intelligent assisted medical record generation to improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of the diagnosis and treatment process. This study introduces the content of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system, aiming to provide references and insights for the digital transformation of the healthcare industry.

Genomic studies of cancer cell alterations,such as mutations,copy number variations(CNVs),and translocations,greatly promote our understanding of the genesis and development of cancers.However,the 3D genome architecture of cancers remains less studied due to the complexity of cancer genomes and technical difficulties.To explore the 3D genome structure in clin-ical lung cancer,we performed Hi-C experiments using paired normal and tumor cells harvested from patients with lung cancer,combining with RNA sequenceing analysis.We demonstrated the feasibility of studying 3D genome of clinical lung cancer samples with a small number of cells(1×104),compared the genome architecture between clinical samples and cell lines of lung cancer,and identified conserved and changed spatial chromatin structures between normal and cancer sam-ples.We also showed that Hi-C data can be used to infer CNVs and point mutations in cancer.By integrating those different types of cancer alterations,we showed significant associations between CNVs,3D genome,and gene expression.We propose that 3D genome mediates the effects of cancer genomic alterations on gene expression through altering regulatory chromatin structures.Our study highlights the importance of analyzing 3D genomes of clinical cancer samples in addition to cancer cell lines and provides an integrative genomic analysis pipeline for future larger-scale studies in lung cancer and other cancers.
