This paper outlines the development of artificial intelligence （AI） and its applications in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） research， and elucidates the roles and advantages of large language models， knowledge graphs， and natural language processing in advancing syndrome identification， prescription generation， and mechanism exploration. Using spleen-stomach diseases as an example， it demonstrates the empowering effects of AI in classical literature mining， precise clinical syndrome differentiation， efficacy and safety prediction， and intelligent education， highlighting an upgraded research paradigm that evolves from data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches to intelligence-driven models. To address challenges related to privacy protection and regulatory compliance in cross-institutional data collaboration， a "trusted federated evidence-based analysis platform for TCM spleen-stomach diseases" is proposed， integrating blockchain-based smart contracts， federated learning， and secure multi-party computation. The deep integration of AI with privacy-preserving computing is reshaping research and clinical practice in TCM spleen-stomach diseases， providing feasible pathways and a technical framework for building a high-quality， trustworthy TCM big-data ecosystem and achieving precision syndrome differentiation.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) is a member of the transcription CDK subfamily and plays a role in transcriptional regulation. Selective CDK9 degraders possess potent clinical advantages over reversible CDK9 inhibitors. Herein, we report the first ATG101-recruiting selective CDK9 degrader, AZ-9, based on the hydrophobic tag kinesin degradation technology. AZ-9 showed significant degradation effects and selectivity toward other homologous cell cycle CDKs in vitro and in vivo, which could also affect downstream related phenotypes. Mechanism research revealed that AZ-9 recruits ATG101 to initiate the autophagy-lysosome pathway, and forms autophagosomes through the recruitment of LC3, which then fuses with lysosomes to degrade CDK9 and the partner protein Cyclin T1. These dates validated the existence of non-proteasomal degradation pathway of hydrophobic driven protein degradation strategy for the first time, which might provide research ideas for chemical induction intervention on other types of pathogenic proteins.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of clobazam in the additional treatment of refractory epilepsy in children， and provide reference for clinically safe and rational drug use. METHODS The literatures about additional clobazam treatment for refractory epilepsy in children were searched from PubMed， The Cochrane Library， Embase， CNKI， VIP and Wanfang database during the inception to November 2023. After literature screening and data extraction， the quality of included literature was evaluated according to quality evaluation tool for methodological evaluation indicators of non-randomized controlled trial， and then meta-analysis of single-group rate and sensitivity analysis were performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Finally， 18 one-arm studies were included， with a total of 1 424 children. The results showed that compared with before additional treatment， the proportion of patients with seizures-free （proportion of patients with seizure reduction of 100%） was 24%[95%CI （0.18，0.32）， P＜0.000 01] after conversion； the proportion of patients with seizure reduction ≥75% was 32%[95%CI（0.25，0.40）， P＜0.000 1] after conversion； the proportion of patients with seizure reduction ≥50% was 53%[95%CI（0.44，0.61），P＜0.000 01]； the proportion of patients with seizure reduction ＜50% or no change was 35%[95%CI（0.24，0.49），P＝0.04] after conversion； the proportion of patients with seizure increase was 9%[95%CI（0.05，0.18），P＜0.000 01] after conversion. The proportion of patients with adverse reactions was 31%[95%CI（0.23，0.40），P＜0.000 1] after conversion； the proportion of patients with discontinuation due to adverse reactions was 10%[95%CI（0.07， 0.15）， P＜0.000 01] after conversion. The common adverse drug reactions were drowsiness， fatigue and behavior change， etc. The results of the sensitivity analysis showed that the study was robust. CONCLUSIONS Clobazam is an effective additional therapy for refractory epilepsy in children， but its adverse effects should be vigilant.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with Brachydactyly type B1 (BDB1) through whole exome sequencing (WES).Methods:A BDB1 pedigree admitted to the Affiliated Women and Children′s Hospital of Qingdao University on June 25, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the pedigree was collected with informed consent. WES was carried out for the proband, and candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.Results:WES and Sanger sequencing had identified a heterozygous c. 2257delT variant in the ROR2 gene of the proband and his affected father, which has conformed to an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was classified to be likely pathogenic (PVS1_Strong+ PM2 Supporting+ PP4). Conclusion:The c. 2257delT variant of the ROR2 gene was unreported previously and is strongly correlated with the BDB1-like phenotype in this pedigree. Above finding has enriched the mutational spectrum of the ROR2 gene and facilitated the diagnosis and genetic counseling for this pedigree.

Postoperative pain seriously affects the recovery process of patients, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased care costs. Appropriate application of patient-controlled analgesia devices can effectively relieve perioperative acute pain. In 1994 patient-controlled analgesia began to be used in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the Acute Pain Service Working Group was established in 2004. With the cooperation of anesthesiologists and specialist nurses, the group jointly has implemented the whole process and standardized management based on patient-controlled analgesia, and constantly improved and innovated working methods, laying a solid foundation for the development of postoperative pain management. This paper systematically reviews and summarizes the work from the aspects of clinical focus, nursing management experience, promotion and dissemination of pain treatment concepts, and development of acute pain service model under the new situation, with the hope of providing valuable reference for comprehensively strengthening pain management in the process of diagnosis and treatment, and enhancing patients' satisfaction with perioperative analgesia services.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between blood pressure variability (BPV) and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in patients with Alzheimer′s disease (AD).Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, sixty-nine patients with AD from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, the Chinese Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle Study of Alzheimer′s Disease were consecutively collected from February 1 to August 31, 2023. The patients were divided into the BPSD group (50 patients) and the control group (19 patients) according to with or without BPSD. The patients′ general information were collected, such as age at enrolment, gender, duration of education, and history of hypertension, diabetes, cerebral infarction, hyperlipoidemia, smoking, alcohol consumption, and carrier status of apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele (APOE ε4). The 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring instruments were also used to collect the patients′ mean systolic blood pressure, mean diastolic blood pressure and 12 BPV indicators, which covered standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of systolic and diastolic blood pressure throughout the day, daytime and nighttime. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to assess their cognitive function, and the Activity of Daily Living (ADL)-14 items was used to assess their daily living abilities; hypothesis tests were used to compare the general information, MoCA scores, ADL-14 items scores, mean blood pressure and BPV indicators between the two groups; the multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the related factors of BPSD in AD patients; Spearman correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between the total score of neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) and BPV indicators in AD patients with BPSD.Results:In the BPSD group, the incidence rate of hypertension and MoCA scores were both significantly lower than those in the control group [44.00% vs 73.70%, (9.72±5.60) vs (14.53±5.52) points], but ADL-14 items scores and nocturnal systolic blood pressure CV were both significantly higher [23.00 (17.00, 29.25) vs 14.00 (14.00, 17.00) points, 8.89%±2.26% vs 7.52%±2.30%] (all P<0.05). Elevated ADL-14 items scores ( OR=1.379, 95% CI: 1.131-1.681) and nocturnal systolic blood pressure CV ( OR=1.387, 95% CI: 1.003-1.918) were positive correlation factors for the risk of BPSD in AD patients (all P<0.05). The daytime systolic blood pressure SD ( r=0.375) and CV ( r=0.357) were both positively correlated with total NPI scores in AD patients with BPSD (all P<0.05). Conclusion:BPV is correlated with BPSD in AD patients. Nocturnal systolic blood pressure CV is a positive correlation factor for the risk of BPSD in AD patients, and the total scores of NPI in AD patients are positively correlated with daytime systolic blood pressure SD and CV. It suggests that controlling BPV is a potential therapeutic measure to improve the BPSD of AD patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of different doses of zinc in the treatment of diarrhea in children， and to provide a reference for clinical safe and rational drug use. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase database， randomized controlled trials about zinc （zinc group） versus placebo or conventional treatment （control group） in the treatment of diarrhea in children were collected from the inception to October 2022. Then， the quality of the included literature was evaluated by the Cochrane Handbook 6.0， and meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed by RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Finally， 25 RCTs were included， with a total of 8 618 children. The results of meta-analysis showed that in terms of duration of diarrhea， in zinc ＜20 mg group， the zinc group was significantly shorter than the control group [SMD＝ －0.39， 95%CI（－0.71， －0.08）， P＝0.01]， but in subgroups of ＜6 months old， there was no significant difference between the two groups [SMD＝0.01， 95%CI（－0.10， 0.11）， P＝0.88]. In zinc 20 mg group， the zinc group was significantly shorter than the control group [SMD＝－0.52， 95%CI（－0.80， －0.23）， P＝0.000 3]. In zinc ＞20 mg group， the zinc group was significantly shorter than the control group [SMD＝－0.83， 95%CI（－1.39， －0.27）， P＝0.004]. In zinc ＞10 mg （age ≤12 months） or zinc ＞ 20 mg （age ＞12 months） group （short for “constant dose group”）， the zinc group was significantly shorter than the control group [SMD＝－0.16， 95%CI（－0.27， －0.06）， P＝ 0.003]. In the aspect of diarrhea rate after 7 days of treatment，there was no significant difference in the diarrhea rate after 7 E-mail：lihuiying@etyy.cn days of treatment between the zinc group and the control group： in zinc ＜20 mg group[OR＝1.28，95%CI （0.96，1.70），P＝0.09]， in zinc 20 mg group [OR＝0.40， 95%CI （0.15，1.01），P＝ 0.05]， in constant dose group [OR＝0.64， 95%CI （0.28， 1.44）， P＝0.28]. In terms of vomiting rate， in zinc ＜20 mg group， the vomiting rate of zinc group was significantly higher than that of the control group [OR＝2.13， 95%CI （1.68， 2.70）， P＜0.001]； in constant dose group， vomiting rate of zinc group was significantly higher than that of the control group [OR＝1.84， 95%CI （1.44， 2.34）， P＜0.001]. CONCLUSIONS Zinc can significantly shorten the duration of diarrhea in children（6 months and above）， but low doses can increase the risk of vomiting， which should be taken attention in clinical.

H 1-antihistamines are widely used in the treatment of various allergic diseases, but there are still many challenges in the safe and rational use of H 1-antihistamines in pediatrics, and there is a lack of guidance on the prescription review of H 1-antihistamines for children.In this paper, suggestions are put forward from the indications, dosage, route of administration, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual difference and drug interactions, so as to provide reference for clinicians and pharmacists.

Objective:To investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of BRCC3 knockout on acute GVHD(aGVHD) of mice.Methods:A total of 12 recipient C57BL/6J mice were divided into two groups, including 6 wild type(WT) and BRCC3 -/-(KO). The recipients were exposed to 4.5 Gy + 4.5 Gy 60Co γ-rays in total body irradiation (TBI) at 30 min intervals. At 6 h post-irradiation, 1×10 7bone marrow cells and 8×10 6 splenocytes from BALB/c mice were infused into C57BL/6J mouse via tail vein to develop aGVHD mouse model. BRCC3 was specifically knocked out in aGVHD mouse model. The organ damage was examined through histopathology. The levels of serum cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) and cytometric bead array (CBA), respectively. Spleen, liver and small intestine lymphocytes were isolated at 9 d post-transplantation, and the infiltration and activation of T cells in the target organs were assayed using flow cytometry. Results:The absence of BRCC3 in recipient mice significantly shortened survival ( P<0.05) with increased liver injury of aGVHD mice. In BRCC3 -/-recipient mice, the proportions of CD8+ T cells and CD8+ CD25+ T cells were significantly higher than those in the spleen( t=6.53, 5.52, P<0.05), and the proportions of CD8+ T cells and CD8+ CD25+ T cells were significantly increased in the liver ( t=3.74, 3.19, P<0.05). Similarly, the proportions of CD8+ T cells, CD8+ CD25+ T cells and CD8+ CD69+ T cells were significantly elevated in the small intestine ( t=3.52, 4.06, 3.29, P<0.05). Conclusions:BRCC3 deletion increased the proliferation and activation of donor CD8+ T cells and aggravated aGVHD, which might provide a new prevention and treatment target for aGVHD.

Objective:To study the influences of different levels of hyperbilirubinemia on the myocardium of newborn rats.Methods:Ninety-six 7-day-old newborn SD rats were selected and randomly assigned into control group (n=32, intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 0.5 ml), test group 1 (n=32, intraperitoneal injection of bilirubin solution 100 mg/kg) and test group 2 (n=32, intraperitoneal injection of bilirubin solution 200 mg/kg). Four time points were set at 0 h, 8 h, 24 h and 48 h. The general conditions of 8 rats from every group at each time point were recorded. The total serum bilirubin (TSB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI),heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were examined. The heart was removed and the pathological changes of the myocardium were observed under microscope. The caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 protein (bcl-2) and bcl-2-associated X protein (bax) were tested. Using SPSS 20.0 statistical software, two-way ANOVA analysis of variance was conducted.Results:The TSB in test group 1 and 2 at 8~48 h were 2.5~4.4 times and 3.5~7.4 times higher than at 0 h [(20.8±3.0~36.5±10.4) μmol/L and (31.9±12.3~67.4±19.0) μmol/L vs. (8.4±2.1) μmol/L and (9.1±2.9) μmol/L]. No significant changes existed in cardiac histopathology at each time point among the three groups. At 48 h, as TSB level increased, the expression of apoptosis-related proteins caspase-3 and bax increased and the expression of bcl-2 decreased. Significant differences existed in the protein levels between any two groups (all P<0.05), except that bcl-2 in test group 1 was similar to control group ( P=0.255). With the prolonged duration of hyperbilirubinemia in test group 2, the expression of caspase-3 and bax increased, while the expression of bcl-2 decreased. Statistically significant differences existed in the protein levels between any two time points (all P<0.05), except that bax in 8 h subgroup was similar to 12 h subgroup ( P=0.820), and bcl-2 in 8 h subgroup was similar to 0 h subgroup ( P=0.064). The cTnI at 8 h, 24 h and 48 h in test group 1 and 2 were all significantly higher than the control group (all P<0.05),however, no significant differences existed between test group 1 and 2 (all P>0.05). H-FABP and BNP showed no significant differences among the three groups at any time point (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Hyperbilirubinemia can induce apoptosis of myocardial cells in newborn rats in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Hyperbilirubinemia shows no significant effects on cardiac tissue pathology. Hyperbilirubinemia may cause mild injury to myocardium of newborn rats. The injury shows no correlation with TSB level and BNP level was not influenced.
