OBJECTIVE To construct a preoperative medication reconciliation model assisted by a localized large language model （LLM） for gastric cancer and evaluate its clinical efficacy. METHODS A total of 249 gastric cancer patients with a history of continuous medication before admission in the Gastric Surgery Department of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into training set （154 cases） and validation set （95 cases） based on the order of time. Based on guidelines， drug package inserts， and other evidence， a standardized medication reconcili ation process and a structured knowledge base were constructed. DeepSeek-V3 LLM was deployed privately in the hospital， combined with retrieval-augmented generation technology， to achieve automated integration of medication information， risk screening， and generation of personalized recommendations. The quality of LLM-generated recommendations was evaluated using automatic metrics （BERT Score and ROUGE-1， 2， L） and manual scoring [seven-dimensional index （7DI） ] . Spearman correlation analysis was performed to explore the correlation between automatic scores and manual scores. Cronbach’s α coefficient was used to test the internal consistency of manual scoring results. The time consumed by manual and LLM-assisted medication reconciliation was compared across tasks of different difficulty levels （simple， moderate， and high）. RESULTS A structured knowledge base covering 8 major drug categories was finally established， covering common and high-risk preoperative medication scenarios and providing structured retrieval support for the LLM. For automatic evaluation， the precision， recall， and F1-score of BERT Score were 0.783±0.033， 0.811±0.038， and 0.796±0.028， respectively. The F1-scores of ROUGE-1， ROUGE-2 and ROUGE-L were 0.566±0.067， 0.338±0.076 and 0.468±0.082， respectively. The 7DI scores from three manual raters ranged from 32.06 to 33.45. The F1-score of automatic scoring was significantly positively correlated with the 7DI score of manual scoring （maximum coefficient of determination＝0.611， P ＜0.001）， and the internal consistency of manual scoring was good （Cronbach’s α ＝ 0.876）. In terms of efficiency， LLM-assisted medication reconciliation reduced time consumption by more than 90% compared with manual reconciliation in the simple， moderate， and high-difficulty groups （ P ＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS The medication reconciliation model constructed based on a localized LLM and structured knowledge base shows high accuracy， consistency， and clinical applicability in complex preoperative medication scenarios for gastric cancer. It can improve the efficiency of medication reconciliation and reduce potential medication risks.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of video-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence on perioperative adverse outcomes in preschool children undergoing general anesthesia， including cooperation in anesthesia induction， perioperative anxiety， pain and agitation during recovery. MethodsA total of 300 preschool children scheduled for general anesthesia in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly assigned to control group （n=150） and intervention group （n=150）. The control group received routine recovery care. For the intervention group， in addition to routine recovery care， a preoperative visit was scheduled one day before surgery. During this visit， mothers were guided to watch anesthesia videos with their children. During the waiting period in the operating room and 30 minutes after awakening， the mothers were guided to accompany the children for more than 30 minutes. Recovery conditions were recorded using the surgical anesthesia information system， and the children’s anesthetic induction compliance， perioperative anxiety， pain， and agitation were evaluated and recorded using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale （m-YPAS）， the Induction Compliance Scale （ICC）， the Children’s Pain Behavior Scale （FLACC）， and the Pediatric Agitation and Emergence Delirium Scale （PAED）. ResultsOn the preoperative visit day， there were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups （P > 0.05）. For perioperative anxiety， the m-YPAS scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group， both when entering the operating room waiting area （35.27±6.48 vs. 41.79±6.68， P < 0.05） and 30 minutes after postoperative recovery （20.13±7.05 vs. 35.75±9.51， P < 0.05）. In terms of anesthesia induction cooperation， the ICC scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group （1.84±0.95 vs. 3.17±0.62， P < 0.05）， and the proportion of good induction cooperation was significantly higher than that of the control group （24.00% vs. 12.67%， P < 0.05）. There was no significant difference in awakening duration between the two groups， but the intervention group had a significantly shorter length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit than the control group （0.90±0.29 hours vs. 1.29±0.42 hours， P < 0.001）. For perioperative agitation， the PAED scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group （entering in the operating room waiting area： 8.5 vs. 9.2， P < 0.05； 30 minutes after postoperative recovery： 4.2 vs. 7.8， P < 0.05）. In terms of pain scores， the FLACC scores of the intervention group were also significantly lower than those of the control group， both when entering the operating room waiting area （ 5.3 vs. 6.7， P < 0.05； 30 minutes after postoperative recovery： 2.1 vs. 4.9， P < 0.05）. ConclusionsVideo-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence reduces the perioperative anxiety， pain and agitation of preschool children undergoing general anesthesia， and improved the compliance of anesthesia induction. It is recommended to promote this intervention measure in clinical practice.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors for implementation of weight management services in primary medical and healthcare institutions, so as to provide references for implementing sustainable services of weight management. Methods: From May to June 2025, Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province was selected as the survey site. Personnel responsible for weight management in primary medical and healthcare institutions were selected as the survey subjects using a combined method of purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Based on the five core domains of the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR), a semi-structured interview outline for weight management services in primary medical and healthcare institutions was designed. Original data was collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Interview data was organized and analyzed using framework analysis. Factors affecting weight management services were quantitatively analyzed by referencing CFIR's structural rating criteria. Results: A total of 21 participants completed interviews, covering positions in nutrition, endocrinology, traditional Chinese medicine, general practice, maternal health, and public health. There were 9 males and 12 females. Fifteen participants (71.43%) were aged 35 years and above, 18 (85.71%) held a bachelor's degree or higher, and 15 (71.43%) were frontline medical staff. Fifteen factors affecting weight management services were identified across five domains: innovation, outer setting, inner setting, individuals, and implementation process. Six barrier factors were identified: difficulties in policy implementation, time-consuming interventions, limited incentive measures, lack of professional skills, unclear weight-loss plans and goal setting, and imperfect follow-up and evaluation mechanisms. Three neutral factors were identified: the development and refinement of policies and regulations, the implementation of weight management training, and the optimization of the referral process within integrated healthcare systems (medical alliances / communities). Six facilitating factors were identified: the relatively significant advantages of lifestyle interventions, collaboration and coordination across multiple departments, cooperative communication among different units within the institution, the inherent convenience of primary care settings, a strong sense of professional responsibility, and the establishment of multidisciplinary teams. Conclusions The delivery of weight management services in primary medical and healthcare institutions is influenced by a wide array of factors across multiple domains. It requires policy support, multi-department coordination, a practice-oriented training system, optimized team resource allocation, incentives, and improved professional skills of medical staff to jointly promote long-term implementation.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic interstitial lung disease, is characterized by aberrant wound healing, excessive scarring and the formation of myofibroblastic foci. Although the role of alternative splicing (AS) in the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis has garnered increasing attention, its specific contribution to pulmonary fibrosis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we identified an up-regulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7) in lung fibroblasts derived from IPF patients and a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model, and further characterized its functional role in both human fetal lung fibroblasts and mice. We demonstrated that enhanced expression of Srsf7 in mice spontaneously induced alveolar collagen accumulation. Mechanistically, we investigated alternative splicing events and revealed that SRSF7 modulates the alternative splicing of pyruvate kinase (PKM), leading to metabolic dysregulation and fibroblast activation. In vivo studies showed that fibroblast-specific knockout of Srsf7 in conditional knockout mice conferred resistance to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Importantly, through drug screening, we identified lomitapide as a novel modulator of SRSF7, which effectively mitigated experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Collectively, our findings elucidate a molecular pathway by which SRSF7 drives fibroblast metabolic dysregulation and propose a potential therapeutic strategy for pulmonary fibrosis.

The oral and maxillofacial region is a highly complex area composed of multiple tissue types and bears various critical functions of the human body. Diseases in this region pose significant diagnostic and management challenges; therefore, exploring new strategies for early diagnosis, targeted treatment, and tissue reconstruction is key to improving patient prognosis and quality of life. Extracellular vesicles are a group of heterogeneous lipid-bilayer membrane structures secreted by most cell types, including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies. Present in various body fluids and tissues, they act as messengers via the transfer of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites to recipient cells. To date, studies have revealed the different roles of extracellular vesicles in physiological or pathological processes, as well as applications in disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. The importance and tissue specificity of the dental and maxillofacial tissues indicate that extracellular vesicles derived from this region are promising for further research. This paper reviews the published data on extracellular vesicles derived from cells, body fluids, and tissues in oral and maxillofacial regions, summarizes the latest advances in extracellular vesicles from extensive sources, and concludes with a focus on the current research progress and application prospects of engineered exosomes in oral science.

Smoking is a well-established risk factor for periodontitis, yet the precise mechanisms by which smoking contributes to periodontal disease remain poorly understood. Recent advances in spatial transcriptomics have enabled a deeper exploration of the periodontal tissue microenvironment at single-cell resolution, offering new opportunities to investigate these mechanisms. In this study, we utilized Visium HD single-cell spatial transcriptomics to profile gingival tissues from 12 individuals, including those with periodontitis, those with smoking-associated periodontitis, and healthy controls. Our analysis revealed that smoking disrupts the epithelial barrier integrity, induces fibroblast alterations, and dysregulates fibroblast-epithelial cell communication, thereby exacerbating periodontitis. The spatial analysis showed that endothelial cells and macrophages are in close proximity and interact, which further promotes the progression of smoking-induced periodontal disease. Importantly, we found that targeting the endothelial CXCL12 signalling pathway in smoking-associated periodontitis reduced the proinflammatory macrophage phenotype, alleviated epithelial inflammation, and reduced alveolar bone resorption. These findings provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of smoking-associated periodontitis and highlight the potential of targeting the endothelial-macrophage interaction as a therapeutic strategy. Furthermore, this study establishes an essential information resource for investigating the effects of smoking on periodontitis, providing a foundation for future research and therapeutic development for this prevalent and debilitating disease.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of various machine learning models in predicting renal function decline after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy(RAPN),and to provide evidence for clinical risk stratification.Methods:This study retrospectively in-cluded the clinical data of 733 patients with renal cell carcinoma undergoing RAPN at the Urology Department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023.Demographic characteristics,laboratory indicators,and perioperative parameters were integrated to construct seven machine learning models.Key predictors were interpreted using Shap-ley additive explanations(SHAP).Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Results:The random forest model demonstrated the best predictive performance(AUC=0.84).SHAP analysis identified neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio,tumor diameter,the international normalized ratio of prothrombin time,white blood cell count,and in-traoperative blood loss as significant factors influencing postoperative renal function decline.Conclusion:This study provides a poten-tial predictive tool for clinical practice,aiding in identifying high-risk patients and optimizing postoperative management strategies.

BackgroundIn schizophrenia， a subset of patients may progress to treatment-resistant schizophrenia owing to inadequate response to standard antipsychotic therapies， resulting in profound impairments in cognitive and social functioning alongside a cumulative burden of adverse drug reactions during the prolonged treatment. Currently， evidence supporting the use of blonanserin for treatment-resistant schizophrenia remains limited. ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of blonanserin in the treatment of treatment-resistant schizophrenia， so as to provide references for clinical management of this condition. MethodsA total of 43 inpatients fulfilling the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） diagnostic criteria for treatment-resistant schizophrenia were consecutively recruited from Taiyuan Psychiatric Hospital from September 2024 to January 2025. Subjects were assigned to either the study group （n=21） or the control group （n=22） using the random number table method. The study group received blonanserin at a daily dosage ranging from 8 to 24 mg， while the control group was administered amisulpride at a daily dosage from 400 to 1 200 mg. At baseline and at the end of the 4^th and 8^th week of treatment， the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale （PANSS） and the Personal and Social Performance scale （PSP） were used to access patients' psychotic symptoms and social functioning， respectively. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test （HVLT）， the Stroop Color-Word Test （SCWT）， the Trail Making Test （TMT）， the Digit Span Test （DST）， and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test （DSST）. During the treatment process， treatment-related adverse reactions were recorded between two groups. ResultsSignificant time effects were found in PANSS total scores， as well as its positive symptom， negative symptom， and general psychopathological subscale scores （F=186.505， 149.318， 135.671， 416.744， P<0.01）. The group-by-time interaction effect was significant in PANSS total scores and general psychopathological subscale scores （F=3.483， 4.318， P<0.05）. At the end of the 8^th week， the study group exhibited lower general psychopathological subscale scores and the PANSS total scores compared to the control group， with statistically significant differences （t=-2.106， -2.429， P<0.05）. Significant group effects were detected in HVLT scores， Stroop word scores and Stroop color scores （F=6.720， 7.921， 11.383， P<0.05 or 0.01）. The group-by-time interaction effect for Stroop word scores， Stroop interference scores， TMT scores and DSST scores were statistically significant （F=3.571， 4.095， 3.463， 37.000， P<0.05 or 0.01）. At the end of the 8^th week， the DSST score of the study group was higher than that of the control group （t=2.074， P<0.05）. For PSP scores， significant time effect， group effect and group-by-time interaction effect were all observed （F=433.710， 4.463， 10.491， P<0.05 or 0.01）. At the end of the 8^th week， the study group reported higher PSP score compared to the control group， with a statistically significant difference （t=3.451， P<0.05）. No significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions was exhibited between the two groups （P>0.05）. ConclusionBlonanserin demonstrates efficacy comparable to amisulpride in ameliorating positive and negative symptoms in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Notably， blonanserin exhibits a superior efficacy to amisulpride in improving general psychopathological symptoms， cognitive and social functioning， while both agents show comparable safety profiles. （www.chictr.org.cn number： ChiCTR2400094222）

There are different views on the theory of “spleen governs time”， which is still a hot spot in the study of Zangxiang （藏象） theory. Based on Zangxiang time-space view， it is found that the thinking mode of the spleen governing time theory follows space-time logic. It is believed that the different time views of the spleen governing time are all formed based on the space view that the spleen belongs to earth and resides in the center， and the zang time theory is developed with the unified time and space logic. Guided by Zangxiang time-space view， the origin of the spleen belonging to earth and residing in the center is traced， and the theoretical connotation and its clinical application of spleen governing time under different time-space logic are explored with reference to the four season and five zang theory， five season and five zang theory， six season and six zang theory， and eight season and eight zang theory.

BACKGROUND:Periodontitis is an inflammatory and destructive disease with plaque biofilm as the main pathogenic material,which occurs in the gingiva,periodontal ligament,alveolar bone and cementum.The antigen of bacterial complex and its secreted toxin and enzyme directly lead to the destruction of periodontal tissue and trigger the host's immune response,causing indirect damage to the body tissue.Silence information regulatory factors(Sirtuins,SIRTs)play an important role in anti-aging,anti-oxidative stress,regulating inflammation,and mediating autophagy,and are closely related to the occurrence and development of periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To review the research status of Sirtuins in periodontitis. METHODS:The first author used the computer to search the relevant research regarding the role of Sirtuins in periodontitis in PubMed,Web of Scene,CNKI and WanFang databases.The key words were"Sirtuins,Sirtuin1-7,periodontitis"in English and Chinese.After literature screening,57 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:SIRT1,SIRT2,SIRT3,and SIRT6 participate in regulating the occurrence and development of periodontitis.Inhibition of SIRT1 expression may be the target of periodontitis treatment,while overexpression of SIRT1 can inhibit periodontitis and protect periodontal tissue.The activator of SIRT1 can reduce the inflammation of periodontal tissue and improve the systemic pathological changes caused by periodontitis.SIRT2 is involved in nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase-mediated periodontal inflammation and plays a role in the treatment and prognosis of periodontal diseases.SIRT3 can improve age-related periodontal disease.Gastrodin promotes the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells through the up-regulation of SIRT3.The activator of SIRT3 reduces the damage of periodontitis to periodontal and renal tissues by regulating the level of autophagy in the cells.SIRT6 can inhibit the inflammatory reaction of periodontal tissue and inhibit the differentiation and mineralization of cementoblasts.SIRT6 is beneficial to the prognosis of periapical periodontitis.The relationship between SIRT4,SIRT5,SIRT7 and periodontitis is rarely reported.
