The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges in quality digitization for complex multi-stage processes, especially in small-sample systems. Here, an intelligent quality prediction and diagnostic (IQPD) framework was developed and applied to Tong Ren Tang's Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, utilizing four years of data collected from four production units, covering the entire process from raw materials to finished products. In this framework, a novel path-enhanced double ensemble quality prediction model (PeDGAT) is proposed, which combines a graph attention network and path information to encode inter-unit long-range and sequential dependencies. Additionally, the double ensemble strategy enhances model stability in small samples. Compared to global traditional models, PeDGAT achieves state-of-the-art results, with an average improvement of 13.18% and 87.67% in prediction accuracy and stability on three indicators. Additionally, a more in-depth diagnostic model leveraging grey correlation analysis and expert knowledge reduces reliance on large samples, offering a panoramic view of attribute relationships across units and improving process transparency. Finally, the IQPD framework integrates into a Human-Cyber-Physical system, enabling faster decision-making and real-time quality adjustments for Tong Ren Tang's Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, a product with annual sales exceeding 100 million CNY. This facilitates the transition from experience-driven to data-driven manufacturing.

Objective To discuss the mechanism of the streaking artifact of Star-volumetric interpolated body examination(Star-VIBE)sequence and the influence of phase coding on it.Methods Twenty-six volunteers underwent many times Star-VIBE sequences scanning with different phase coding(320,640,960,1 280,1 600).The severity of streaking artifact of images in different phase cod-ing groups was evaluated qualitatively.The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of muscle,thyroid and contrast-enhanced artery,contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)between soft tissues,and CNR between muscle and contrast-enhanced artery of the images in different phase coding groups were evaluated quantitatively.Results In qualitative evaluation,with the number of phase coding increased,the streaking artifact decreased(H=83.022,P＜0.005).In quantitative evaluation,SNRmuscle,SNRthyroid,SNRcontrast-enhanced artery and CNRcontrast-enhanced gradually increased with the increase of phase coding number(SNRmuscle:F=6.913,P＜0.005;SNRthyroid:F=3.930,P=0.005;SNRcontrast-enhanced artery:F=6.980,P＜0.005;CNRcontrast-enhanced:F=6.482,P＜0.005),while CNRsoft tissue showed no statistical difference(F=1.114,P=0.339).Conclusion There is streaking artifact on the image of the Star-VIBE sequence,which can be reduced by increas-ing the number of phase coding appropriately.The most suitable phase coding is 960.

Objective To verify the predictive performance of the population pharmacokinetic(PPK)model of lacosamide in children reported abroad using real-world case data,the exposure-response relationship was analyzed,and the optimal dosing regimen was simulated.Methods The plasma concentration data and clinical data of 64 children with epilepsy aged 4-13.42 years after oral administration of lacosamide reached a steady state were collected,and the prediction accuracy of foreign models was investigated by goodness-of-fit diagram and intuitive prediction test.The relationship between the daily dose or trough concentration of lacosamide and the clinical efficacy was analyzed,and Monte Carlo simulation was used to evaluate and screen the optimal dosing regimen of lacosamide for different body weight stratification and combinations based on pharmacokinetic parameters.Results The external validation results show that the prediction accuracy of the PPK model for children abroad is good.The pharmacokinetic parameters of lacosamide monotherapy in children with epilepsy were as follows:absorption rate constant(ka)=(2.43±0.04)h-1,apparent volume of distribution(Vd/F)=(22.69±6.00)L,clearance rate(CL/F)=(1.25±0.27)L·h-1,half-life(t1/2)=(12.74±2.40)h.The distribution range of 5％-95％quantile of daily dose of clinically effective cases was 2.5-6.3 mg·kg-1·d-1,and the distribution range of 5％-95％of trough concentration was 1.9-6.7 mg·L-1.The simulation results showed that the optimized dosing regimen of lacosamide recommended in this study could increase the probability of drug concentration reaching the target and ensure the efficacy and tolerability of treatment.Conclusions The prediction performance of the PPK model of lacosamide in foreign children was verified,and the optimal dosing regimen was simulated based on this model,which can provide a reference for clinicians to individualize and rationalize the use of drugs.

Objective:To understand the graduation destination of newly graduated medical master's students in China and analyze their employment status.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted on 15 942 medical master's students who graduated in 2023. Descriptive analysis, χ2 test, and Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test were used to understand the current situation and differences in the graduation destinations, employment units, job positions, and starting salaries of different types of medical master's graduates. Results:The employment rate of medical master's graduates was 58.21% (9 280/15 942). In terms of graduation destinations, male graduates, professional degree holders, graduates from non-"Double First-Class" universities, and nursing majors had a high proportion of confirmed employment units. Male graduates, academic degree holders, graduates from "Double First-Class" universities, and basic medical science majors had a high proportion pursuing further studies domestically. In terms of employment, the highest proportion of medical master's graduates worked in hospitals (84.92%, 6 495/7 648) and the lowest proportion worked in primary-level medical and healthcare institutions (1.02%, 78/7 648). The majority (78.07%, 5 971/7 648) held professional technical positions. Starting salaries were relatively low and ranged between 3 001 and 5 000 yuan/month, accounting for 30.99% (2 370/7 648).Conclusions:The employment rate of medical master's graduates is low, with concentrated employment units and job positions, and there is a lack of talents in primary medical institutions. Colleges and universities and education management departments should adopt policy-driven approaches to support key demographic groups and encourage employment in primary healthcare. Training programs should be timely adjusted in response to market demands and focus on cultivating the comprehensive quality and job competence of medical master's graduates. Additionally, student-centered approaches should be used to strengthen the employment guidance and career planning services.
