ObjectiveTo address the challenges of unstructured classical Chinese expressions, nested entity relationships, and limited annotated data in famous traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) case records, this study proposes a joint relation extraction framework that integrates data augmentation and entity mapping, aiming to support the construction of TCM diagnostic knowledge graphs and clinical pattern mining. MethodsWe developed an annotation structure for entities and their relationships in TCM case texts and applied a data augmentation strategy by incorporating multiple ancient texts to expand the relation extraction dataset. A cascade binary tagging framework for relation triple extraction(CasRel) model for TCM semantics was designed, integrating a pre-trained bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT) layer for classical TCM texts to enhance semantic representation, and using a head entity-relation-tail entity mapping mechanism to address entity nesting and relation overlapping issues. ResultsExperimental results showed that the CasRel model, combining data augmentation and entity mapping, outperformed the pipeline-based Bert-Radical-Lexicon(BRL)-bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)-Attention model. The overall precision, recall, and F1-score across 12 relation types reached 65.73%, 64.03%, and 64.87%, which represent improvements of 14.26%, 7.98%, and 11.21% compared to the BRL-BiLSTM-Attention model, respectively. Notably, the F1-score for tongue syndrome relations increased by 22.68%(69.32%), and the prescription-syndrome relations performed the best with the F1-score of 70.10%. ConclusionThe proposed framework significantly improves the semantic representation and complex dependencies in TCM texts, offering a reusable technical framework for structured mining of TCM case records. The constructed knowledge graph can support clinical syndrome differentiation, prescription optimization, and drug compatibility, providing a methodological reference for TCM artificial intelligence research.

Most cancers are currently incurable, partly due to abnormal post-translational modifications (PTMs). In this study, we initially used multiple myeloma (MM) as a working model and found that SUMOylation activating enzyme subunit 1 (SAE1) promotes the malignancy of MM. Through proteome microarray analysis, SAE1 was identified as a potential target for bioactive colcemid or its derivative colchicine. Elevated levels of SAE1 were associated with poor clinical survival and increased MM proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, SAE1 directly SUMOylated and upregulated the total protein expression of p27, leading to LLPS-mediated nuclear export of p27. Our study also demonstrated the involvement of SAE1 in other types of cancer cells, and provided the first monomer crystal structure of SAE1 and its key binding model with colchicine. Colchicine also showed promising results in the Patient-Derived Tumor Xenograft (PDX) model. Furthermore, a controlled clinical trial with 56 MM patients demonstrated the clinical efficacy of colchicine. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism by which tumor cells evade p27-induced cellular growth arrest through p27 SUMOylation-mediated nuclear export. SAE1 may serve as a promising therapeutic target, and colchicine may be a potential treatment option for multiple types of cancer in clinical settings.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical performance of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) genotyping in cervical cancer screening.Methods:Between June and July 2017, a prospective cervical cancer screening cohort was established in Xiaye Town, Jiyuan City, Henan Province, China by recruiting 3 254 women aged 21 to 64 years. At baseline screening, cervical exfoliated cell specimens were collected for HR-HPV genotyping and liquid-based cytology testing. Follow-ups were conducted over a 3-year period, with cytology testing in the first and second years and both HR-HPV genotyping and cytology testing in the third year. Women meeting the referral criteria were referred for colposcopy, with cervical biopsy and histopathological diagnosis performed as necessary. The endpoint was defined as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) or higher confirmed by histopathological diagnosis. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting CIN2 or higher lesions of HR-HPV genotyping were calculated, as well as the cumulative risk of developing CIN2 or higher lesions over the 4-year study period in women with different baseline HR-HPV genotyping results.Results:A total of 2 741 women were included in the statistical analysis. Baseline HR-HPV genotyping detected 453 HR-HPV positive cases (16.53%), including 98 HPV 16/18 positive cases (3.58%) and 355 other HR-HPV positive cases (12.95%). During the 4-year period, 83 cases of CIN2 or higher were diagnosed. The sensitivity and specificity of baseline HR-HPV positivity for CIN2 or higher were 89.16% (95% CI: 80.66%-94.19%) and 85.74% (95% CI: 84.36%-87.02%), respectively. The corresponding rates for HPV 16/18 positivity were 43.37% (95% CI: 33.24%-54.09%) and 97.67% (95% CI: 97.02%-98.18%). The 4-year cumulative absolute risk of CIN2 or higher was highest in the HPV 16/18 positive group (36.73%, 95% CI: 27.85%-46.62%), followed by other HR-HPV positive groups (10.70%, 95% CI: 7.87%-14.38%), and the HR-HPV negative group was the lowest (0.39%, 95% CI: 0.19%-0.76%). Conclusions:HR-HPV genotyping testing exhibits high sensitivity and specificity for detecting CIN2 or higher lesions in cervical cancer screening. It also provides a scientific basis for stratifying the individual risk of developing CIN2 or higher lesions to guide subsequent management. Therefore, the HR-HPV genotyping testing can be considered as an effective method for cervical cancer screening.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of prenatal screening and genetic analysis in the diagnosis of fetal aberrant right subclavian artery(ARSA).Methods:The ultrasonographic features of ARSA fetu-ses detected by prenatal ultrasound at the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from October 2017 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The fetuses were divided into isolated ARSA group and complicated ARSA group.Their genetic analysis results and pregnancy outcome were analyzed.Results:Among 30,260 preg-nant women,185 fetuses were diagnosed with ARSA by prenatal ultrasound screening,with an incidence of 0.6%;5 fetuses(2.6%)were diagnosed by ultrasound in the first trimester,and the remaining were diagnosed by fetal grade Ⅲ structural ultrasound examination at 20~24 weeks' gestation.Among them,158 fetuses(85.4%)had isolated ARSA,and 27(14.6%)had complicated ARSA.Among fetuses with ARSA and other structural abnormal-ities,cardiovascular system accounted for the highest proportion(44.4%),followed by nervous system(22.2%)and urinary system(22.2%).Through genetic analysis,8.3%(4/48)fetuses with isolated ARSA and 40.0%(4/10)fetuses with complicated ARSA were found to have chromosomal numerical or structural abnormalities,with statis-tically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.024).Genetic analysis was completed in 48 isolated ARSA,and the positive rate of pathogenic copy number variants(CNV)was 4.2%(2/48),which was not signifi-cantly different from the pathogenic CNV incidence rate of 0.4%(1/239)in elderly pregnant cases during the same period(P=0.074).The Down syndrome positive likelihood ratio(LR+)for isolated ARSA was 2.5 and the Down syndrome LR+for complicated ARSA was 49.6.Conclusions:Complicated ARSA is often associated with cardiovascular abnormalities and is more likely to develop Down syndrome than isolated ARSA.Although the inci-dence of pCNV in isolated ARSA is slightly higher than the natural incidence,the correlation between pCNV and i-solated ARSA has not been clearly determined by the current sample size.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with tenecteplase (TNK) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) across different time windows.Methods:Randomized controlled trials investigating TNK in AIS were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang databases, with data collected up to May 2025. Experimental group received intravenous thrombolysis with 0.25 mg/kg TNK, either alone or in combination with mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Control group received alteplase, placebo, standard medication (containing butylphthalide), MT, or above-mentioned drugs combined with MT. These patients were within 4.5 hours of onset (within-time window) or within 4.5-24 hours of onset (extended-time window). Efficacy indexes included functional outcome excellent rate (modified Rankin scale [mRS] score of 0-1 at 3 months after treatment), early neurological improvement rate (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score improvement≥4 or NIHSS score ranged 0-1 within 72 of treatment), and recanalization rate 24 h after treatment. Safety indexes comprised symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) rate within 48 h of treatment, and mortality rate and rate of serious adverse events (SAEs) within 90 d of treatment. Quality of the trials was assessed according to Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews of interventions (version 5.1). Meta-analysis was conducted using Stata software, with pooling data as risk difference ( RD). Results:Sixteen articles (11 were within-time window ones, and 5 were extended-time window ones), involving 9,430 AIS patients, were included. Quality grade of these articles is B-level. (1) In articles of within-time window: the experimental group had a significantly higher functional outcome excellent rate compared with the control group ( RD=0.031, 95% CI: 0.009-0.052, P=0.005); no significant difference was observed in early neurological improvement rate ( RD=0.016, 95% CI: -0.012-0.043, P=0.260), recanalization rate ( RD=0.040, 95% CI: 0.000-0.081, P=0.053), sICH rate ( RD=0.005, 95% CI: -0.002-0.012, P=0.198), mortality rate ( RD=0.000, 95% CI: -0.012-0.013, P=0.950), or SAE rate ( RD=0.003, 95% CI: -0.028-0.033, P=0.870) between the two groups. (2) In articles of extended-time window: the experimental group exhibited significantly higher functional outcome excellent rate ( RD=0.064, 95% CI: 0.016-0.113, P=0.009), early neurological improvement rate ( RD=0.101, 95% CI: 0.023-0.180, P=0.012), and recanalization rate ( RD=0.131, 95% CI: 0.059-0.203, P<0.001) compared with the control group; no significant difference was found in sICH rate ( RD=0.014, 95% CI: -0.003-0.032, P=0.097), mortality rate ( RD=0.006, 95% CI: -0.030-0.041, P=0.752), or SAE rate ( RD=0.030, 95% CI: -0.037-0.097, P=0.385) between the two groups. Conclusion:Intravenous thrombolysis with TNK is safe and effective in AIS patients at both within-time window and extended-time window.
