Objective: To investigate the distribution frequency and molecular mechanism of the rare blood type Lu(a-b-) in Shenzhen, and to compare the polymorphisms of the Lutheran blood group system encoding gene LU and the In (Lu) phenotype-related gene KLF1 among Han Chinese, Indian, and Uyghur populations in Xinjiang. Methods: Serological methods were used to screen the Lu(a-b-) phenotype of blood donors in Shenzhen. Third-generation sequencing was employed to sequence the full-length of the LU and KLF1 genes in Lu (a-b-) phenotype samples as well as the samples from the Han Chinese, Indians, and Uyghur population, followed by analysis of gene haplotypes frequencies. Results: Ten individuals with the Lu(a-b-) phenotype were screened out of 14 367 blood donors in Shenzhen, yielding a frequency of approximately 0.07%. Only 2 cases showed mutations in the coding region of the LU gene, while all individuals showed heterozygous mutations in the coding region of the KLF1 gene. The highest mutation frequencies of the LU and KLF1 genes were observed in the Uyghur population in Xinjiang and the Han Chinese in Shenzhen, respectively. Conclusion: All Lu(a-b-) phenotypes are of the In (Lu) type, and their formation mechanism is mainly related to KLF1 gene mutations. Both the LU and KLF1 genes exhibit significant polymorphism in the Han Chinese, Indians, and Uyghur populations.

Objective: To develop QingNangTCM, a specialized large language model (LLM) tailored for expert-level traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) question-answering and clinical reasoning, addressing the scarcity of domain-specific corpora and specialized alignment. Methods: We constructed QnTCM_Dataset, a corpus of 100 000 entries, by integrating data from ShenNong_TCM_Dataset and SymMap v2.0, and synthesizing additional samples via retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and persona-driven generation. The dataset comprehensively covers diagnostic inquiries, prescriptions, and herbal knowledge. Utilizing P-Tuning v2, we fine-tuned the GLM-4-9B-Chat backbone to develop QingNangTCM. A multi-dimensional evaluation framework, assessing accuracy, coverage, consistency, safety, professionalism, and fluency, was established using metrics such as bilingual evaluation understudy (BLEU), recall-oriented understudy for gisting evaluation (ROUGE), metric for evaluation of translation with explicit ordering (METEOR), and LLM-as-a-Judge with expert review. Qualitative analysis was conducted across four simulated clinical scenarios: symptom analysis, disease treatment, herb inquiry, and failure cases. Baseline models included GLM-4-9B-Chat, DeepSeek-V2, HuatuoGPT-II (7B), and GLM-4-9B-Chat (freeze-tuning). Results: QingNangTCM achieved the highest scores in BLEU-1/2/3/4 (0.425/0.298/0.137/0.064), ROUGE-1/2 (0.368/0.157), and METEOR (0.218), demonstrating a balanced and superior normalized performance profile of 0.900 across the dimensions of accuracy, coverage, and consistency. Although its ROUGE-L score (0.299) was lower than that of HuatuoGPT-II (7B) (0.351), it significantly outperformed domain-specific models in expert-validated win rates for professionalism (86%) and safety (73%). Qualitative analysis confirmed that the model strictly adheres to the “symptom-syndrome-pathogenesis-treatment” reasoning chain, though occasional misclassifications and hallucinations persisted when dealing with rare medicinal materials and uncommon syndromes. Conclusion Combining domain-specific corpus construction with parameter-efficient prompt tuning enhances the reasoning behavior and domain adaptation of LLMs for TCM-related tasks. This work provides a technical framework for the digital organization and intelligent utilization of TCM knowledge, with potential value for supporting diagnostic reasoning and medical education.

A case of 75-year-old male patient was admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University on June ,2024 complaining 'repeated cough for half a year', accompanied by night fever, night sweats, fatigue, weight loss. He was initially diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma through chest CT and bronchoscopic biopsy, then confirmed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with MYD88 genetic aberration with bone marrow inconsistent involvement by PET-CT, bone marrow biopsy, immunohistochemistry(IHC),FISH and other tests. The R-CHOP was given as first-line regimen treatment immediately, but the patient appeared allergyic to Rituximab and Zuberitamab sequencially, therefore we change the plan to CDOP for continued chemotherapy and discharged after remission. In his regular admission, we give G-CHOP regimen for chemotherapy, no adverse reactions were found.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the serological characteristics and bioinformatics analysis results of 4 blood donors with RHCE*cE(281C, 282T) variant allele. METHODS: A total of 4 non-related blood donors with RHCE*cE (281C, 282T) variant allele (donors 1-4) were selected as the study objects. They donated blood at Shenzhen Blood Center from January 2022 to June 2023. The 4 blood donors were all Han. And 5 mL elbow venous blood was collected from these 4 blood donors. Regular serological assaying with 4 kinds of monoclonal antibody reagents was used for determination of the RhCcEe type. The nucleotide sequences of all 10 exons and adjacent flanking intron regions of RHCE gene in these 4 donors were analyzed by Sanger sequencing, and the full-length haplotype analysis of RHCE gene was performed by using the single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) third-generation technology. DeepTMHMM software was used to analyze the structure of protein transmembrane region of wild type and variant RhCcEe protein and predict the location of amino acid substitution. The effects of mutations on RhCcEe protein function were analyzed using PolyPhen-2, SIFT and Mutation Taster bioinformatics software. Robetta and Swiss-PdbViewer v4.1.0 were used for modeling the tertiary structures of RhCcEe to analyze the difference between wild type and variant RhCcEe protein. The mutation was rated according to the standards and guidelines for the classification of genetic variants of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Shenzhen Blood Center (Approval No. SZBCMEC-2022-024). RESULTS: The RhCcEe phenotypes of the 4 blood donors were CCEweake by serological assaying. The RhE antigen were weakly expressed form 0 to 3+. The analysis of RHCE gene sequence indicated that all the 4 donors with RHCE*cE (281C, 282T) allele. The mutation caused the substitution of a single amino acid in the RhCcEe protein (p.Leu94 Pro) and the amino acid substitution was located in the transmembrane α3 chain resulted in significant changes in the 3D structure of the extracellular region of RhCcEe protein. The substitution was predicted to be "Probably damaging", "Damaging" and "Polymorphism" by PolyPhen-2, SIFT and Mutation Taster bioinformatics software. According to the guidelines of ACMG, the variant was rated to be likely pathogenic. CONCLUSION The RHCE*cE (281C, 282T) variant allele was first found in the Han Chinese population. The serological data of this allele were enriched. It provides an important guarantee for the safety of blood transfusion. Bioinformatics analysis provided evidences for further study of the structure and functions of RhCcEe protein.

Chronic heart failure （CHF） is the terminal stage of various heart diseases， with high morbidity， mortality， and hospitalization rate. According to the theory of collateral diseases， the core pathogenesis of CHF is blood stasis of collaterals， water retention and stagnation， and pathogen accumulation in collaterals. Accordingly， the treatment should focus on reinforcing healthy Qi to warm Yang， activating blood to dredge collaterals， and excreting water to alleviate edema. On this basis， Qili Qiangxin capsules （QLQX） are created. This prescription can effectively treat chronic heart failure. Modern studies have shown that QLQX contains a variety of pharmacological components such as flavonoids， alkaloids， terpenoids， phenylpropanoids， phenolic acids， and cardiac glycosides. QLQX can improve the cardiac function， inhibit myocardial fibrosis， improve hemodynamics， mitigate inflammation， reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis， and regulate the nervous system， with mild adverse reactions. This study analyzed the etiology and pathogenesis of CHF based on the theory of collateral diseases， explored the relationship between the prescription and syndrome， and delved into the material basis and mechanism of QLQX in the treatment of CHF， aiming to provide reference for the clinical application and scientific research of QLQX.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the peripheral neural mechanism underlying representation along the distribution of stomach meridian induced by intestinal inflammatory reaction using diarrhea predominant-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) mice. METHODS: Among 62 healthy male C57BL/6 mice of clean grade, 12 mice were randomly selected and divided into a control group and a model group, 6 mice in each group, additionally, 12 mice were randomly selected and divided into a Tianshu group, a Liangqiu group and a Zusanli group, 4 mice in each group. In the model group, citrobacter was administered orally to establish IBS-D model. In the control group and the model group, the visceral pain threshold was observed using fecal colorectal distension (fCRD) induced electromyography of external oblique muscle, the positive cell number of neutrophil in the colonic muscularis was detected by myeloperoxidase (MPO) staining, the number, location and distribution rule of Evans blue (EB) extravasation points were observed by injection of EB staining solution into the tail vein. In the Tianshu group, the Liangqiu group and the Zusanli group, fluorescent dye Dil was injected at bilateral "Tianshu" (ST25), "Liangqiu" (ST34) and "Zusanli" (ST36) respectively, to observe the dye-positive cell number in different dorsal root ganglion (DRG) segments. In the control group and the model group, the activation of satellite glial cells (SGCs) in different DRG segments was observed by immunofluorescence. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, in the model group, the area under curve of electromyography of external oblique muscle was increased at fCRD of 25, 50 and 75 μL distilled water (P<0.001, P<0.01); the MPO-positive cell number of neutrophil in the colonic muscularis was increased (P<0.01). Few EB extravasation points could be found in the control group, while there were much more EB extravasation points observed in the model group, which was specially distribution in the area of stomach meridian, from "Huaroumen" (ST24) to "Zusanli" (ST36), as well as the surface area dominated by L₂-L₅ segment of the spinal cord. The Dil-positive cells were mainly exhibited in the DRG of T₁₁, L₅ and L₄ segments in the Tianshu group, the Liangqiu group and the Zusanli group, respectively. Compared with the control group, the ratio of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)/glutamine synthetase (GS) co-expression was increased in the DRG of T₁₁, L₄ and L₅ segments in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). CONCLUSION The activation of SGCs within DRG of T₁₁, L₄ and L₅ segments may relate closely to the occurrence of the representation along the stomach meridian distribution in IBS-D mice.
