ObjectiveTo address the challenges of unstructured classical Chinese expressions， nested entity relationships， and limited annotated data in famous traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） case records， this study proposes a joint relation extraction framework that integrates data augmentation and entity mapping， aiming to support the construction of TCM diagnostic knowledge graphs and clinical pattern mining. MethodsWe developed an annotation structure for entities and their relationships in TCM case texts and applied a data augmentation strategy by incorporating multiple ancient texts to expand the relation extraction dataset. A cascade binary tagging framework for relation triple extraction（CasRel） model for TCM semantics was designed， integrating a pre-trained bidirectional encoder representations from transformers（BERT） layer for classical TCM texts to enhance semantic representation， and using a head entity-relation-tail entity mapping mechanism to address entity nesting and relation overlapping issues. ResultsExperimental results showed that the CasRel model， combining data augmentation and entity mapping， outperformed the pipeline-based Bert-Radical-Lexicon（BRL）-bidirectional long short-term memory（BiLSTM）-Attention model. The overall precision， recall， and F₁-score across 12 relation types reached 65.73%， 64.03%， and 64.87%， which represent improvements of 14.26%， 7.98%， and 11.21% compared to the BRL-BiLSTM-Attention model， respectively. Notably， the F₁-score for tongue syndrome relations increased by 22.68%（69.32%）， and the prescription-syndrome relations performed the best with the F₁-score of 70.10%. ConclusionThe proposed framework significantly improves the semantic representation and complex dependencies in TCM texts， offering a reusable technical framework for structured mining of TCM case records. The constructed knowledge graph can support clinical syndrome differentiation， prescription optimization， and drug compatibility， providing a methodological reference for TCM artificial intelligence research.

A 51-year-old male presented with nasal obstruction, followed by progressive hearing loss and blurred vision. Imaging identified space-occupying lesions in the paranasal sinuses, orbits, and paraspinal regions, while laboratory tests confirmed positive anti-proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(PR3- ANCA) immunoglobulin G (IgG)and markedly elevated serum IgG4. Despite treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and radiotherapy, the patient exhibited steroid dependency with relentless disease progression. Following multidisciplinary consultation, a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) coexisting with ANCA- associated vasculitis (AAV) was favored, though IgG4-related disease remained a critical differential. Ultimately, profound immunosuppression precipitated a severe herpesvirus infection, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. This case underscores the rarity and diagnostic complexity of concurrent IMT and AAV, highlights the therapeutic dilemma of balancing primary disease control against fatal opportunistic infections, and emphasizes the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases.

Objective: To investigate the current status of screening myopia and anxiety symptoms and associated factors among junior and senior high school students in Beijing, so as to provide evidence for myopia prevention and control and the improvement of mental health among adolescents. Methods: From September to November 2024, a total of 17 245 junior high schools, general senior high schools and vocational high schools from 16 districts in Beijing were enrolled by stratified cluster sampling method. Questionnaire surveys and vision screening were conducted to collect data on anxiety symptom and screening diagnosed myopia. The Chi square test was used to analyze the co-occurrence of myopia and anxiety symptoms, and binary Logistic regression analysis was adopted to explore the related factors of the co-occurrence. Results: The overall detection rate of cooccurrence screening myopia and anxiety symptoms among Beijing junior and senior high school students was 6.00%. The detection rate was higher in females ( 7.15 %) than in males (4.90%), higher in urban areas (6.65%) than in suburban areas (5.41%), and higher in general senior high school students (7.61%) than in vocational high school students (6.46%) and junior high school students (4.65%). All differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=38.49, 11.66, 54.88, all P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that female gender ( OR =1.43), general senior high school ( OR =1.60), vocational high school ( OR =1.59), daily sugar sweetened beverage intake ( OR =1.66), participation in academic extracurricular classes in preschool ( OR =1.30), electronic screen use for more than 2 hours per day ( OR =1.21), and insufficient sleep ( OR =2.41) were associated with an increased risk of co-occurring screening diagnosed myopia and anxiety symptoms (all P <0.05). Conclusions The co-occurrence of screening diagnosed of myopia and anxiety symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Beijing is common. Female gender, senior high school students, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are all risk factors for the co-occurrence of myopia and anxiety symptom. Comprehensive intervention measures can be adopted to simultaneously promote vision protection and mental health among junior and senior high school students.

When inflammation is continuously activated or dysregulated， it can induce chronic tissue injury and organ dysfunction， and participate in the occurrence and development of various inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease. Owing to high targeting， long-acting efficacy and programmability， nucleic acid drugs provide a new direction for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. This article reviews the classification， mechanism of action and application progress of nucleic acid drugs in inflammatory diseases. It is found that small interfering RNA （siRNA） can specifically cut target mRNA through RNA interference to achieve inhibiting the expression of the target protein； antisense oligonucleotide （ASO） can inhibit target protein expression by inducing microRNA （miRNA） degradation or regulating splicing processes； miRNA can achieve network intervention by regulating multiple inflammatory target genes. At present， important breakthroughs have been made in the field of inflammatory diseases with siRNA drugs including Lumasiran， Nedosiran （for primary hyperoxaluria 1） and Inclisiran （for atherosclerosis）， ASO drugs including Donidalorsen （for hereditary angioedema）， Volanesorsen and Olezarsen （for familial chylomicronemia syndrome） and Lademirsen （for Alport syndrome）， as well as miRNA drugs including Obefazimod （for inflammatory bowel disease） and Remlarsen （for pathological fibrosis）. These drugs are expected to become a new generation of anti-inflammatory therapeutic strategies and bring more precise and efficient treatment options for patients with chronic inflammation and fibrotic diseases.

Objective To analyze the status of willingness to participate in health science popularization (HSP) and its influencing factors among medical workers in Guangdong Province. Methods A total of 462 medical workers in Guangdong Province were recruited as the study subjects using a stratified convenience sampling method. The Questionnaire on Influencing Factors of Willingness to Participate in Health Science Popularization, developed by the research team, was used to investigate their willingness to participate in HSP and related variables, including previous communication experience, attitude, moral belief, descriptive norm, injunctive norm, self-efficacy, and social support. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors of willingness to participate in HSP. Results The median and 25^th and 75^th percentiles score of willingness to participate in HSP was 4.0 (3.8, 4.5), indicating a moderately high level of willingness. The HSP participation willingness score was positively correlated with scores for previous communication experience, attitude, moral belief, descriptive norm, injunctive norm, self-efficacy, and social support (Spearman correlation coefficients were 0.513, 0.384, 0.507, 0.533, 0.463, 0.556, and 0.435, respectively; all P<0.01). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that previous communication experience, moral belief, descriptive norm and self-efficacy positively predicted willingness to participate in HSP (all P<0.05). Medical workers in the non-Pearl River Delta region had lower willingness than those in the Pearl River Delta region for HSP participation (P<0.05). Conclusion There is still room for improving willingness for HSP participation among healthcare professionals in Guangdong Province. It is recommended to enhance self-efficacy through communication skills training, strengthen professional ethics education, foster a positive peer engagement atmosphere, and intensify resource support and capacity building for HSP in the non-Pearl River Delta region, to improve HSP participation willingness among medical workers in Guangdong Province.

ObjectiveTo determine the effects of tuina at "Weizhong （BL 40）" on mechanical pain hypersensitivity in a rat model of chronic dorsal root ganglion （CCD）， and to preliminarily explore the anatomical distribution characteristics of neural afferents associated with "Weizhong （BL 40）" acupoint and their central projections. MethodsThirty SD rats were randomly assigned to a sham operation group， a model group， and a tuina group， with 10 rats in each group. In the model group and the tuina group， a chronic compression of CCD model was established by implanting stainless-steel rods into the right L4/5 and L3/4 intervertebral foramina. Rats in the sham operation group underwent surgical exposure only. From day 4 to day 28 after modeling， rats in the tuina group received daily manipulation at the right "Weizhong （BL 40）" （pressure： 5 N； frequency： 2 Hz； duration： 10 min/session）. Rats in the sham operation group and the model group were subjected only to fixation. Mechanical withdrawal threshold （MWT） was assessed before modeling and on day 3， 7， 14， 21， and 28 after modeling. On day 29 after modeling， pseudorabies virus （PRV）， a retrograde trans-multisynaptic tracer， was injected into the right "Weizhong （BL 40）" acupoint in rats from the model group. After 120 h， rats were perfusion-fixed through the heart， and local tissues surrounding the "Weizhong （BL 40）" acupoint， corresponding lumbar dorsal root ganglia， lumbar spinal cord， and brain tissues were collected for fluorescence imaging of PRV-positive signals. ResultsCompared to the sham operation group， rats in the model group and the tuina group showed significantly reduced MWT on day 3， 7， 14， 21， and 28 after modeling （P＜0.05）. Compared to the model group， rats in the tuina group exhibited significantly increased MWT on day 21 and 28 after modeling （P＜0.05）. Fluorescence imaging revealed PRV-positive signals in the deep fascial layer of local muscle tissue at "Weizhong （BL 40）"， the L4 and L5 dorsal root ganglia， the dorsal horn and central canal region of the spinal cord， as well as the primary somatosensory cortex （S1）， secondary motor cortex （M2）， and anterior cingulate cortex （ACC）. Among the examined cortical regions， M2 contained the largest number of PRV-positive neurons. ConclusionTuina at "Weizhong （BL 40）" alleviates mechanical hyperalgesia in rats with the chronic compression of CCD model. A traceable neuroanatomical connection exists between the linking deep tissues within "Weizhong （BL 40）" region and the corresponding lumbar dorsal root ganglia， the spinal dorsal horn， and specific cortical areas.

ObjectiveTo develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of concurrent cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease. MethodsSelf-reported data from 2 673 respondents in the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were analyzed. The participants were randomly divided into a training set (n = 1 871) and a validation set (n = 802). Heart disease status was determined using a self-report questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors, and a nomogram for predicting the risk of concurrent cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease was developed using R software. Bootstrap resampling was used for internal validation, and model performance was further evaluated in the randomly split validation set. The predictive performance of the model was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curves.. ResultsA total of 2 673 older adults with heart disease were included, out of whom 315 participants in the training set had cognitive impairment. Lasso regression analysis identified age, education level, place of residence, instrumental activities of daily living and depression as predictors of concurrent cognitive impairment. A prediction model incorporating these five variables was constructed. The AUC were 0.827 (95%CI 0.804 to 0.850) in the training set and 0.847 (95%CI 0.812 to 0.882) in the validation set. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test yielded P = 0.154 and P = 0.716 in the training and validation sets, respectively. Calibration curves showed good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities. Decision curve analysis indicated that the model provided favorable net benefit and predictive performance. ConclusionThe nomogram may provide a useful reference for risk screening and early intervention for cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease.

Objective: To study the correlation between short sleep duration and screening myopia among primary and middle school students in Beijing, so as to provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive prevention and control of myopia among students. Methods: Using a stratified cluster random sampling, 25 593 primary and middle school students from 16 districts of Beijing were selected from September to November 2023. The National Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors Monitoring Survey Questionnaire was used to conduct a questionnaire survey, and visual acuity was tested according to the Specification for the Screening of Refractive Error in Primary and Middle School Students. The reporting rates of short sleep duration and detection rates of screening myopia among primary and middle school students were compared using the Chi square test. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between short sleep duration and screening myopia. Results: About 68.63% of students reported short sleep duration. There was a statistically significant difference in the reporting rate of short sleep duration among students in different school stages ( χ 2=981.18, P <0.01), with the lowest reporting rate of vocational high school students (47.07%) and the highest reporting rate of ordinary high school students (76.17%). The detection rates of screening myopia among primary school students ( 57.09% ) and middle school students (76.53%) who reported short sleep duration were higher than those who reported enough sleep duration (52.65%, 71.94%), with satistically significant differences ( χ 2=14.83, 17.96, P <0.01). The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that primary and middle school students with short sleep duration had a higher risk of developing screening myopia, compared to students with enough sleep duration ( OR =1.25); after adjusting for confounding factors such as educational stage, gender, region, boarding situation, primary and secondary school students with short sleep duration still had a higher risk of screening myopia ( OR =1.26) ( P <0.01). The analysis results stratified by educational stage showed that primary school students from grades 4-6 and middle school students with short sleep duration had a higher risk of screening myopia ( OR=1.18, 1.20, P <0.01). Conclusions Primary and secondary school students in Beijing with short sleep duration sleep have a higher risk of developing screening myopia. Families, schools, and society should ensure enough sleep duration to reduce the occurrence of myopia among students.

Middle compartment defects,a common subtype of pelvic floor dysfunction(PFD),are primarily characterized by the prolapse of the uterus or vaginal vault.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)has emerged as a valuable diagnostic tool for PFD,offering superior soft tissue resolution while eliminating exposure to ionizing radiation.This review comprehensive summarizes current applications of MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of PFD,covering measurement methods,manifestations of three-level structural defects,postoperative efficacy evaluation,vaginal axial assessment,and evaluation of the mesh status.The authors suggest that MRI enables precise preoperative evaluation of three-level defects,thereby facilitating the development of personalized treatment plans.Additionally,MRI provides an accurate postoperative assessment of surgical outcomes and mesh status,offering a new basis for postoperative assessment.MRI demonstrates unique value in the diagnosis and treatment of middle compartment defects.

Objective To evaluate the perioperative safety and mid-term outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy(LSC)and laparoscopic pectopexy(LP)for pelvic organ prolapse(POP).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 274 POP patients,including 178 who underwent LSC and 96 who underwent LP,between August 2017 and January 2023.The extent of prolapse and anatomical restoration were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification(POP-Q)system.Quality of life outcomes were evaluated with validated questionnaires,including Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-short form 20(PFDI-20),Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-short form 7(PFIQ-7),and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12(PISQ-12).Postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed during follow-ups.Postoperative anatomical restoration,perioperative status,and postoperative complications,recurrence,and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify postoperative risk factors for recurrence.Results The operative time in the LSC group was significantly shorter than that in the LP group(P<0.05).Intraoperative blood loss was higher in the LSC group compared to that in the LP group(P<0.05).The LSC group also exhibited higher rates of de novo stress urinary incontinence and constipation(P<0.05).The mean follow-up duration was(35.91±16.90)months.The positions of the indicator points(Aa,Ba,C,Ap,and Bp)in the POP-Q classification after the operation were all better than those before the operation.The PFDI-20 score,PFIQ-7 score,and PISQ-12 score all improved compared to those before the operation(P<0.05).Comparison of preoperative and postoperative PFDI-20,PFIQ-7,and PISQ-12 scores showed no intergroup differences.Compared with the LP group,the LSC group had the lower preoperative POP-Q measurements at points Aa and Ba(P<0.05),but superior postoperative measurements for all the indicator points(Aa,Ba,C,Ap,and Bp)(P<0.05).Recurrence occurred in 28 cases in the LP group and 4 cases in the LSC group,with the LP group presenting a significantly higher anatomical recurrence rate than the LSC group did(31.46%[28/89]vs.2.41%[4/166],P<0.05).The subjective cure rate(100%)and objective cure rate(97.59%)in the LSC group were superior to those in the LP group(88.76%and 68.54%,respectively;P<0.05).The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that,after adjusting for the confounding factors,including age,gravidity,parity,body mass index,and duration of POP,the risk of recurrence after LSC surgery was 0.044 times that after LP(odds ratio[OR],0.044;95%CI,0.015-0.133;P<0.001).Conclusion Mid-term outcomes of LP with partial cervical preservation appear inferior to those of LSC,with LSC demonstrating superior anatomical restoration and lower rates of anatomical recurrence.However,improvements in sexual function and quality of life are comparable between the two procedures.Further evaluation with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up is warranted to better characterize long-term outcomes.
