Objective To explore the application value of three mainstream large language models in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment decision support of the primary diseases related to pediatric liver transplantation. Methods Seventy-nine cases of pediatric liver transplantation-related diseases diagnosed through pathological or clinical follow-up data were collected from Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine or published high-quality case reports. These cases covered 25 types of primary diseases such as cholestatic liver disease, metabolic diseases, and tumors. Standardized prompts were used to input the case information into the DeepSeek-R1, ChatGPT-4o and Grok-3 models, and the accuracy of their preliminary diagnosis and differential diagnosis based on basic clinical data was evaluated. The final diagnosis accuracy and the response time after supplementary examination were also assessed, as well as the completeness and rationality of their analysis of disease treatment principles. Results In the initial diagnosis and differential diagnosis stage, the comprehensive accuracy of DeepSeek-R1 was the highest [72.1%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 61.4% - 80.8%], and there was a statistically significant difference in the comprehensive accuracy of the three models for initial diagnosis (P = 0.008). After adding further examination information, the final diagnosis accuracy of the three models increased, with DeepSeek-R1 at 88.6% (95% CI 79.7% - 93.9%), ChatGPT-4o at 87.3% (95% CI 78.2% - 93.0%), and Grok-3 at 78.5% (95% CI 68.2% - 86.1%). There was no statistically significant difference among the three models (P = 0.05). The scores given by experts for the treatment principles showed good consistency (Kappa = 0.769). In addition, the response time of ChatGPT-4o is shorter than that of the other two models [(24 ± 7) s]. Conclusions Large language models demonstrate good efficacy in the diagnosis and treatment decision-making process of various pediatric liver diseases, have a good application prospect for auxiliary diagnosis and decision support, and are expected to help improve the accuracy and efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric liver transplantation-related primary diseases.

In recent years, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has garnered significant attention as a therapeutic approach for sleep disorders in the elderly. However, the prevailing rTMS protocols are predominantly developed based on normative neurophysiological data derived from young adults and fail to incorporate individualized parameters tailored to the brain characteristics of the elderly. To address this gap, the consensus development group synthesized the latest evidence from 2010 to 2025 and established a standardized rTMS protocol specifically for elderly patients with sleep disorders. Adhering to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) framework, systematically screened randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews regarding rTMS in the treatment of sleep disorders across various conditions. Meanwhile, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system was employed to rigorously grade the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. This consensus guideline delineates precise rTMS protocols for the management of sleep disorders in the elderly, highlights the adjustment of stimulation intensity according to scalp-cortex distance recommends either MRI‑guided neuronavigation or the Beam F3/F4 heuristic approach for accurate target localization, thereby providing precise rTMS intervention protocol for sleep disorders in the elderly, aiming to enhance clinical efficacy while ensuring treatment safety.

At present,the drug substitutes represented by new psychoactive substances are gradually be-coming popular,leading to an increasing demand for identifying novel drugs with unknown structures in drug investigation.Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy is an important tool for ana-lyzing molecular structures.In the absence of standard substances,quantitative NMR(qNMR)can un-dertake the quantitative analysis of target substances in complex mixtures and has unique advantages in the research of new drugs and their precursor drugs.Due to the limitations of the site and mainte-nance costs,as well as relatively complex operation,high-field superconducting NMR is less com-monly applied in drug research.The desktop low-field NMR developed in recent years provides a new alternative solution.Due to the use of permanent magnets,its size is reduced,and the operation and maintenance costs are lowered.It has been widely used in various research fields.This article reviews the development of low-field NMR technology,summarizes the application of desktop low-field NMR in screening and identification of suspicious substances,rapid content determination,analysis of drug manufacturing processes and synthetic routes,and correlation traceability.It also looks forward to the prospects and development directions of this technology in drug research,aiming to provide a reference for researchers who work in analytical chemistry and drug research.

Objective:To investigate the effects and mechanism of Qiangjin Zhuanggu Capsules in bone remodeling in ovariectomized osteoporotic mice.Methods:Totally 75 8-week-old C57BL/6 female mice were divided into a sham-operation group of 15 mice and a modeling group of 60 mice. The model was created using bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) to replicate a postmenopausal osteoporosis mouse model. The successfully modeled mice were divided into model group, estradiol group, and Qiangjin Zhuanggu Capsules low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups using a random number table method, with 10 mice in each group. The estradiol group was given a 0.013 mg/ml solution of estradiol valerate tablets by gavage; Qiangjin Zhuanggu Capsules low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups were orally administered with Qiangjin Zhuanggu Capsule solution at dosages of 46.0, 92.0, and 184.0 mg/ml. The sham-operation group and model group were orally administered with equal volumes of physiological saline once a day for 8 consecutive weeks. After the intervention, the femoral trabecular bone structure, bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), bone surface area/bone volume (BS/BV), and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) were assessed using Micro-CT. Serum levels of bone metabolism markers such as calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), osteocalcin (OCN), and cathepsin K (CTSK) were measured by ELISA. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Masson staining were used to observe the morphological changes in femoral trabecular bone structure and collagen fibers. Western blot analysis was employed to detect the protein expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), .Results:Compared with the model group, the levels of BMD, BV/TV, Tb. N, and Tb.Th ( P<0.01 or P<0.05) in estradiol group and Qiangjin Zhuanggu Capsule medium- and high-dosage groups increased ( P<0.01, P<0.05), and BS/BV and Tb.Sp decreased ( P<0.01, P<0.05)serum levels of Ca, P, BALP, and OCN were elevated ( P<0.01, P<0.05), while CTSK was reduced ( P<0.01); the expression of Runx2, ALP and BMP-2 proteins significantly increased ( P<0.01, P<0.05). Conclusion:Qiangjin Zhuanggu Capsules exhibit preventive and therapeutic effects on postmenopausal osteoporosis, potentially through the regulation of Runx2, ALP and BMP-2.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-associated death globally. Liver transplantation (LT) has emerged as a key treatment for patients with HCC, and the Milan criteria have been adopted as the cornerstone of the selection policy. To allow more patients to benefit from LT, a number of expanded criteria have been proposed, many of which use radiologic morphological characteristics with larger and more tumors as surrogates to predict outcomes. Other groups developed indices incorporating biological variables and dynamic markers of response to locoregional treatment. These expanded selection criteria achieved satisfactory results with limited liver supplies. In addition, a number of prognostic models have been developed using clinicopathological characteristics, imaging radiomics features, genetic data, and advanced techniques such as artificial intelligence. These models could improve prognostic estimation, establish surveillance strategies, and bolster long-term outcomes in patients with HCC. In this study, we reviewed the latest findings and achievements regarding the selection criteria and post-transplant prognostic models for LT in patients with HCC.

Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

The chemical components of Carthami Flos were investigated by using macroporous resin, silica gel column chromatography, reversed-phase octadecylsilane(ODS) column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20, and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The planar structures of the compounds were established based on their physicochemical properties and ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis), infrared(IR), high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(HR-ESI-MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopic technology. The absolute configurations were determined by comparing the calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism(ECD). Six flavonoid C-glycosides were isolated from the 30% ethanol elution fraction of macroporous resin obtained from the 95% ethanol extract of Carthami Flos, and identified as saffloquinoside F(1), 5-hydroxysaffloneoside(2), iso-5-hydroxysaffloneoside(3), isosafflomin C(4), safflomin C(5), and vicenin 2(6). Among these, the compounds 1 to 3 were new chalcone C-glycosides. The compounds 1, 2, 4, and 5 could significantly increase the viability of H9c2 cardiomyocytes damaged by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R) at a concentration of 50 μmol·L~(-1), showing their good cardioprotective activity.
