Under the current upsurge of cross-disciplinary research between artificial intelligence (AI) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the inheritance of academic thought in TCM is confronted with the deep-seated predicament of cognitive paradigm dislocation. The existing AI model is based on the classical reasoning mode of formal logic and statistical probability, which is difficult to adapt to the nonlinear and holistic cognitive logic of TCM with image-based thinking and syndrome-differentiated treatment as the core, resulting in systematic misreading and loss of the core essence in digital inheritance. Based on this, this paper proposes to construct a new cognitive model oriented towards the context of TCM. Its essence is not to have AI imitate the thinking of TCM, but to establish an auxiliary understanding framework based on semantic mapping and relational reasoning. It is advocated that the role of AI should be reconstructed from a knowledge substitute to a clinical interactor, and its application boundary in the inheritance of TCM wisdom should be clarified. By establishing the theoretical framework and practical path of human-computer collaboration, this paper aims to provide a scientific basis for realizing the deep integration of AI technology and the academic thought in TCM.

By systematically analyzing the bottlenecks in current traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) efficacy evaluation, this study addresses the limitations of TCM efficacy assessment methods in terms of individualization, holism, and complexity representation. Drawing on the concepts and methodologies of evidence-based medicine and systems biology, this paper proposes a new evaluation path by integrating multidisciplinary technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), omics techniques, and bioinformatics, and encompassing from foundational data, individualized evaluation, and mechanistic analysis to evidence translation. The path first integrates real-world data, multi-omics profiling, and dynamic monitoring via smart devices to construct a high-dimensional dynamic data foundation. Subsequently, leveraging this foundation, it combines digital twins, dynamic symptom networks, and reinforcement learning to develop a dynamic efficacy evaluation method based on individual self-reference, enabling a shift from group mean comparisons to individual potential outcome comparisons. Furthermore, adopting the systems biology paradigm, it employs dynamic omics monitoring and deep learning models to dissect the synergistic mechanisms of TCM compound prescriptions from network regulation, emergent effects, and dynamic evolution dimensions. Finally, it enhances real-world evidence strength through target trial emulation and causal inference, achieving model iteration via incremental learning. This path aims to advance efficacy evaluation from "point validation" to "systematic characterization" and from "outcome assessment" to "process mechanism elucidation," providing methodological support for the modernization of TCM.

Taking Xiaochaihu Decoction as an example,the application differences of classical prescriptions in modern medical context and Chinese medicine practice are compared and analyzed from the aspects of clinical application scope,understanding of pre-scription connotation,dosage specification,dosage form and decoction method.Strategies to solve the differences in efficacy are pro-posed:integrating the wisdom of classical prescriptions and reshaping the framework of Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment;transforming the results of modern pharmacology and exploring the principles of classical prescriptions;controlling drug quality stand-ards and exploring new uses and dosages of classical prescriptions;keeping pace with the times in Chinese medicine decoction and strengthening management and control to ensure efficacy.It is believed that combining the essence of Chinese medicine with modern technology can make the application of classical prescriptions maintain traditional characteristics while meeting modern clinical require-ments.This can not only improve the adaptability of classical prescriptions to modern complex diseases,but also provide a reference for the modernization of traditional medicine.

The amount of data generated by the human experience in medical cases of classic formulas is large and the research value is high, but how to extract valuable information from these massive data is an important problem of researches on classical formulas. It is concluded that there are many problems in the current study of human experience in classical formulas, such as large amount of data, uneven quality, weak extrapolation and clinical application, which seriously affected the evidence strength of human experience in classical formulas and the contribution to experience accumulation and theoretical support. Therefore, from the structural perspective of the research questions, this paper proposed the research ideas of human experience in medical cases of classic formulas: firstly, according to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cases, based on the PICO model, which refers parti-cipants (P), intervention (I), comparisons (C), and outcomes (O), a TCM medical record evaluation tool in line with the evidence-based concept was constructed to evaluate the quality of medical cases; secondly, constructing a standardized database of human experience in classical formulas and using data mining algorithms to explore the deep relationship hidden in human experience; finally, the clinical value evaluation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the diagnosis and treatment rules of classical formulas to achieve clinical transformation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.
