Objective:
To develop a clinical decision and prescription generation system (CDPGS) specifically for diarrhea in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), utilizing a specialized large language model (LLM), Qwen-TCM-Dia, to standardize diagnostic processes and prescription generation.
Methods:
Two primary datasets were constructed: an evaluation benchmark and a fine-tuning dataset consisting of fundamental diarrhea knowledge, medical records, and chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning datasets. After an initial evaluation of 16 open-source LLMs across inference time, accuracy, and output quality, Qwen2.5 was selected as the base model due to its superior overall performance. We then employed a two-stage low-rank adaptation (LoRA) fine-tuning strategy, integrating continued pre-training on domain-specific knowledge with instruction fine-tuning using CoT-enriched medical records. This approach was designed to embed the clinical logic (symptoms → pathogenesis → therapeutic principles → prescriptions) into the model’s reasoning capabilities. The resulting fine-tuned model, specialized for TCM diarrhea, was designated as Qwen-TCM-Dia. Model performance was evaluated for disease diagnosis and syndrome type differentiation using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Furthermore, the quality of the generated prescriptions was compared with that of established open-source TCM LLMs.
Results:
Qwen-TCM-Dia achieved peak performance compared to both the base Qwen2.5 model and five other open-source TCM LLMs. It achieved 97.05% accuracy and 91.48% F1-score in disease diagnosis, and 74.54% accuracy and 74.21% F1-score in syndrome type differentiation. Compared with existing open-source TCM LLMs (BianCang, HuangDi, LingDan, TCMLLM-PR, and ZhongJing), Qwen-TCM-Dia exhibited higher fidelity in reconstructing the “symptoms → pathogenesis → therapeutic principles → prescriptions” logic chain. It provided complete prescriptions, whereas other models often omitted dosages or generated mismatched prescriptions.
Conclusion
By integrating continued pre-training, CoT reasoning, and a two-stage fine-tuning strategy, this study establishes a CDPGS for diarrhea in TCM. The results demonstrate the synergistic effect of strengthening domain representation through pre-training and activating logical reasoning via CoT. This research not only provides critical technical support for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of diarrhea but also offers a scalable paradigm for the digital inheritance of expert TCM experience and the intelligent transformation of TCM.

BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone density and structure are destroyed and fractures are caused by increased bone fragility,leading to high clinical disability and mortality rates. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress in the role of bone immunity in physiological and pathological processes related to bone metabolism,providing ideas for the research and clinical application of bone immunity in bone diseases. METHODS:The first author searched PubMed and CNKI databases in November 2022 for relevant literature using the keywords of"osteoimmunology,immuno-skeletal interface,bone metabolism,skeletal metabolism,lymphocyte,immune factor"in English and Chinese,respectively.The time range of retrieval was mainly from January 2010 to November 2022,and a small number of classical long-term literatures were included.After reading the topic and abstract for preliminary screening and excluding repetitive studies,low-quality journals and unrelated literature,81 documents were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Osteoimmunology refers to that bone and immune cells share the same microenvironment and interact with each other to jointly perform the"bone immune system,"which includes all cells in the bone marrow.Immuno-skeletal interface has protective effects on bone under physiological conditions,but it may lead to bone destruction under pathological conditions.Osteoprotegerin is mainly derived from B cells and can inhibit osteoclast metabolism.However,when the body is in an inflammatory state,T cells and B cells work together to promote bone resorption.In addition,interleukin-1,interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α regulate the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand in vivo and affect bone metabolism.In most clinical diseases(such as rheumatoid arthritis,estrogen deficiency,HIV infection,and hyperparathyroidism),the immuno-skeletal interface interacts with the bone immune system,resulting in the regulation of bone metabolism.In terms of clinical prospect,the interaction between bone immunity and bone metabolism should be studied in order to propose new strategies for therapeutic intervention to reduce the risk of fracture.

Chinese Journal of Experimental Traditional Medical Formulae 2024;30(19):133-138
ObjectiveTo analyze the influence of Jianpi Yuwei decoction combined with omeprazole on ulcer area, gastrointestinal symptoms, and serum trefoil factor family 2 (TFF2) in patients with gastric ulcer (symptom of deficiency-cold in spleen and stomach). MethodA total of 100 patients with gastric ulcer of symptom of deficiency-cold in spleen and stomach admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine from May 2020 to April 2022 were regarded as the research subjects. They were randomly grouped into two groups according to the number table method. 50 cases in the control group received omeprazole treatment, while 50 cases in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group received Jianpi Yuwei decoction treatment on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy, periodic gastrointestinal symptom score, serum cytokines, gastrin indexes, and ulcer area of the two groups were compared. ResultAfter treatment, the total treatment efficiency of the TCM group was 94.00% (47/50), while the total effective rate of the control group was 76.00% (38/50). The total effective rate of the TCM group was higher than that of the control group (χ2=6.353, P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of periodic upper abdominal pain, bloating, acid reflux, and belching symptoms in both groups decreased (P<0.05). Compared with that in the control group after treatment, the score of periodic upper abdominal pain, bloating, acid reflux, and belching symptoms in the TCM group decreased more significantly (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of TFF2 increased in both groups (P<0.05), and C-reactive protein (CPR) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, the TCM group showed a more significant increase in TFF2 levels (P<0.05), and CRP and TNF-α levels decreased more significantly (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of motilin (MTL), gastrin (GAS), cholecystokinin (CCK)-33, and ulcer area decreased in both groups (P<0.05). Compared with those in the control group after treatment, the levels of MTL, GAS, CCK-33, and ulcer area in the TCM group decreased more significantly (P<0.05). ConclusionJianpi Yuwei decoction combined with omeprazole can reduce the ulcer area, alleviate periodic gastrointestinal symptoms, and increase serum TFF2 level in patients with gastric ulcer of symptom of deficiency-cold in spleen and stomach, with remarkable effects.
8.Application of near-infrared fluorescence imaging in hepatectomy of hepatocellular carcinoma
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2023;39(3):677-683
Multimodality therapy based on surgery is the main treatment method for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and hepatectomy requires the removal of primary tumor and the preservation of normal liver tissue to the maximum extent. However in clinical surgery, it is difficult to accurately identify tumor tissue and its boundary with visual inspection and palpation, which often results in under-resection or over-resection. Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging is a real-time noninvasive imaging technique with low costs and high sensitivity, and extensive studies have been conducted to investigate its application in guiding surgical resection of tumors. With the development of fluorescence imaging system and fluorescence probe, intraoperative tumor localization and boundary determination can be realized to make the surgery more accurate. This article reviews the development of various NIRF probes for intraoperative navigation in HCC and discusses current challenges and potential opportunities of these imaging probes.

Surgical resection is one of the important means to achieve long-term survival for patients with liver malignant tumor. However, most of the liver malignant tumor has been diagnosed in the middle and late stage, and lose the chance of surgical treatment. For these patients who have lost the chance of surgery, some surgeons have proposed the concept of planned liver resection, which is to reduce tumor stage and increase future liver remnant (FLR) in a planned way, so as to improve the safety of surgery and prolong the survival time of patients after surgery. For patients with FLR insufficiency after prior evaluation or/and treatment, the technique of hepatic hyperplasia is an important part of planned hepatectomy, that is, to effectively increase FLR in a short period of time by various means. Portal vein ligation (PVL) and portal vein embolization (PVE), associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) and liver venous deprivation (LVD) are three main techniques for hepatic hyperplasia. This article reviews the principle, effect and safety of three liver augmentation techniques.
