Based on the theory of "disease of both blood and water" in Essentials from the Golden Cabinet （《金匮要略》）， and in combination with the dynamic syndrome evolution of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction （HFpEF）， this paper systematically clarifies the pathomechanism of HFpEF， characterized by yang deficiency as the root， blood stasis as the pivotal factor and water retention as the manifestation. Accordingly， the therapeutic principles have been proposed， which are warming yang and banking up original qi to consolidate the root， activating blood and unblocking collaterals to smooth the mechanism， and promoting urination and regulating pivot to remove the branch. On this basis， a compound formula structure of "one monarch， one minister and one assistant" is established， forming an integrated intervention strategy that synergistically combines the three methods of warming yang， activating blood， and promoting urination through combined classical formulas. Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤）， which warms yang and dissolves rheum， is used to consolidate the root and directly target the source of yang deficiency， serving as the monarch； Guizhi Fuling Pills （桂枝茯苓丸）， which activates blood， promotes urination and unblocks the pivot， assists in interrupting the binding of blood stasis and water retention， serving as the minister； Tingli Dazao Xiefei Decoction （葶苈大枣泻肺汤）， which regulates qi， disperses retained fluids， and eliminates the manifestation， alleviates acute water-retention symptoms， serving as the assistant. This compound formula is warming without being drying， diuretic without being drastic， and dispels stasis without consuming blood， thereby achieving the therapeutic effects of warming yang， activating blood， and promoting urination.

Objective: To develop a dual-branch deep learning framework for accurate multi-label classification of fundus diseases, addressing the key limitations of insufficient complementary feature extraction and inadequate cross-modal feature fusion in existing automated diagnostic methods. Methods: The fundus multi-label classification dataset with 12 disease categories (FMLC-12) dataset was constructed by integrating complementary samples from Ocular Disease Intelligent Recognition (ODIR) and Retinal Fundus Multi-Disease Image Dataset (RFMiD), yielding 6 936 fundus images across 12 retinal pathology categories, and the framework was validated on both FMLC-12 and ODIR. Inspired by the holistic multi-regional assessment principle of the Five Wheels theory in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ophthalmology, the dual-branch multi-label network (DBMNet) was developed as a novel framework integrating complementary visual feature extraction with pathological correlation modeling. The architecture employed a TransNeXt backbone within a dual-branch design: one branch processed red-green-blue (RGB) images to capture color-dependent features, such as vascular patterns and lesion morphology, while the other processed grayscale-converted images to enhance subtle textural details and contrast variations. A feature interaction module (FIM) effectively integrated the multi-scale features from both branches. Comprehensive ablation studies were conducted to evaluate the contributions of the dual-branch architecture and the FIM. The performance of DBMNet was compared against four state-of-the-art methods, including EfficientNet Ensemble, transfer learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN), BFENet, and EyeDeep-Net, using mean average precision (mAP), F1-score, and Cohen's kappa coefficient. Results: The dual-branch architecture improved mAP by 15.44 percentage points over the single-branch TransNeXt baseline, increasing from 34.41% to 44.24%, and the addition of FIM further boosted mAP to 49.85%. On FMLC-12, DBMNet achieved an mAP of 49.85%, a Cohen’s kappa coefficient of 62.14%, and an F1-score of 70.21%. Compared with BFENet (mAP: 45.42%, kappa: 46.64%, F1-score: 71.34%), DBMNet outperformed it by 4.43 percentage points in mAP and 15.50 percentage points in kappa, while BFENet achieved a marginally higher F1-score. On ODIR, DBMNet achieved an F1-score of 85.50%, comparable to state-of-the-art methods. Conclusion DBMNet effectively integrates RGB and grayscale visual modalities through a dual-branch architecture, significantly improving multi-label fundus disease classification. The framework not only addresses the issue of insufficient feature fusion in existing methods but also demonstrates outstanding performance in balancing detection across both common and rare diseases, providing a promising and clinically applicable pathway for standardized, intelligent fundus disease classification.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate risk prediction models for chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in pediatric patients with malignant tumors， evaluate their modeling strategies， key predictors， and predictive performance， and provide evidence-based references for clinical decision-making and research. METHODS A literature search was conducted across 11 databases， including CNKI， Wanfang Data， and PubMed， for relevant studies published before April 2025. Two reviewers independently performed literature screening and data extraction， and the risk of bias and applicability of the models were evaluated using the PROBAST tool. RESULTS Ultimately， seven studies were selected， of which four were English articles and three were Chinese articles， involving 12 risk prediction models. Although model discrimination was good （AUC 0.748-0.981）， only two models underwent external validation； furthermore， calibration was inadequately reported in three studies. PROBAST indicated that all models exhibited a high risk of bias， with major issues including a predominance of retrospective designs， inadequate sample representativeness， and lack of blinding. However， in terms of applicability， all models received favorable evaluations. In terms of modeling methods， most studies employed traditional logistic regression approaches to construct models， while only a minority introduced machine learning algorithms and conducted systematic comparisons among multiple algorithms. Models developed using machine learning methods significantly outperformed those constructed with traditional statistical methods. CONCLUSIONS The existing risk prediction models for myelosuppression after chemotherapy in children with malignant tumors demonstrate potential in clinical risk early warning. However， they generally suffer from design and methodological limitations， such as a predominance of retrospective single-center designs， few events per variable， opaque handling of missing data， and inconsistent reporting of model coefficients. Future studies should adopt prospective designs， incorporate machine learning with key clinical predictors， and follow TRIPOD reporting guidelines to enhance scientific rigor and clinical utility.

Objective: To explore the effect of a computer assisted audiovisual combined intervention model on the core symptoms of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in order to provide references for enriching intervention and treatment methods for ASD children. Methods: From December 2023 to March 2024, 36 ASD children aged 4-8 years were recruited from Tianjin Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Center and Xinxinyu Children s Rehabilitation Center, and were divided into a training group (22 cases) and a control group (14 cases). The training group completed a 12 week audiovisual training course (visual sessions:twice a week, for 50-60 minutes each session; auditory sessions:three times a week, for 15 minutes each time), while the control group received only conventional treatment interventions. Before and after the intervention, the core symptoms of ASD children were assessed using the Short Sensory Profile (SSP), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), and Repetitive Behavior Questionnaire-2 ( RBQ- 2). Eye tracking experiments were used to test preferences for social attention. Results: Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in the total scores and factor scores of the SSP and RBQ-2 scales between the two groups ( t =-1.63, 0.38, both P >0.05). The SRS total score, social communication, and restricted interests and repetitive behavior factor scores of the training group (90.68±25.83, 33.36±11.80, 15.64±7.00) were significantly higher than those of the control group (72.29±19.84, 24.93±7.85, 10.21±5.67) ( t =2.27, 2.36, 2.43, all P <0.05). Children in the training group with higher social communication factor scores before the intervention scored lower than the control group at the post intervention test (simple slope=-14.17, t =-2.48, P = 0.02), while there was no statistically significant difference in post intervention scores between children with lower social communication factor scores before the intervention and the control group (simple slope=2.31, t =0.57, P >0.05). Eye tracking experiments showed that the total fixation time on geometric images decreased significantly more in the training group [ -4.56 (-11.42, 1.21)] compared to the control group [6.55 (-0.32, 16.53)] after the intervention ( Z=2.48, P <0.05). Conclusions The computer assisted audiovisual intervention model can effectively improve the core symptoms of ASD children with poorer social communication levels. The promotion of the intervention model needs to consider individual differences in ASD.

Background: Advances in intensive care have markedly improved survival after severe brain injury, leading to a growing population of patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDOC). Current management of pDOC remains largely supportive, and evidence-based neuromodulatory interventions are limited; moreover, existing guidelines provide insufficiently explicit recommendations regarding mechanisms of action and objective biomarkers of treatment response. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has emerged as a potential noninvasive intervention; however, its modulatory effects on brain function in pDOC are not yet well characterized, and the paucity of integrative mechanistic evidence has constrained its translation into routine clinical practice. Objectives: Within a multimodal assessment framework, this study aims to systematically elucidate the neurobiological mechanisms by which taVNS modulates brain function and autonomic activity in patients with pDOC, and to evaluate its clinical potential to enhance levels of consciousness. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 60 patients with vegetative state/minimally conscious state will be enrolled and randomly allocated to a taVNS group, a transcutaneous nonauricular vagus nerve stimulation group (sham), or a control group (n = 20 per group) for a 4-week intervention. The primary outcome will be changes in the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised scores from baseline to weeks 1, 2, and 4 of treatment. Secondary outcomes will include functional brain activity assessed by electroencephalography and functional near-infrared spectroscopy, as well as autonomic modulation indexed by heart rate variability. Functional prognosis will be evaluated using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended at the end of treatment and at a 6-month follow-up. Safety will be assessed by continuous monitoring and documentation of adverse events throughout the study period. Results and discussion: By integrating electroencephalography–functional near-infrared spectroscopy with heart rate variability, this study will characterize the effects of taVNS on functional brain networks and consciousness recovery in pDOC across complementary behavioral, electrophysiological, hemodynamic, and autonomic domains, while interrogating potential sources of clinical and neurobiological heterogeneity. The findings are expected to provide a mechanistic and evidence-based foundation for the mechanism-driven clinical implementation of taVNS and the optimization of stimulation protocols in pDOC.

Objective To explore the application value of serological markers in the screening of malignant tumor bone metastasis.Methods A total of 113 patients with malignant tumor bone metastasis first diag-nosed in a hospital from June 2023 to February 2024 were selected as case group.Another 80 patients with malignant tumor without bone metastasis diagnosed in the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of serological markers[serum calcium(Ca),parathyroid hormone(PTH),Ca/PTH,procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide(P1NP),beta-C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen(β-CTX)and N-terminal mid-fragment of osteocalcin]were compared between the two groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to analyze the value of serological markers in screening for bone metastases of lung canc-er,prostate cancer and breast cancer.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of malignant tumor bone metastasis.Results The levels of Ca,Ca/PTH,β-CTX and P1NP in case group were significantly higher than those in control group,while PTH in case group was lower than that in control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that Ca,PTH,Ca/PTH,P1NP and β-CTX had high efficacy in screening malignant tumor bone metastases,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.718,0.699,0.712,0.648 and 0.593,respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Ca/PTH and P1NP were the influencing factors of bone metastasis in malignant tumor(OR=5.036,1.013,P<0.05).The AUC of Ca,PTH and Ca/PTH screening for bone metastasis of lung cancer were 0.781,0.652 and 0.669,respectively.The AUC of β-CTX and P1NP screening for bone metastasis of prostate cancer were 0.800 and 0.815 respectively.The AUC of Ca and P1NP screening for breast cancer with bone metastasis was 0.751 and 0.794,respectively.Conclusion Serological markers(Ca,PTH,Ca/PTH,P1NP and β-CTX)are valuable in screening for malignant tumor bone metastasis.

Bone metastasis is a serious complication in the course of malignant tumors and has a poor prog-nosis.The incidence of breast cancer,prostate cancer and lung cancer is the highest.A highly sensitive and highly specific test method for the early diagnosis of malignant bone metastases of these tumors,which is es-sential for reducing the incidence of bone-related events and improving the prognosis of patients with malig-nant tumors,is urgently needed.At present,the diagnosis of bone metastasis in patients with malignant tumors mainly relies on imaging.However,due to limitations in the development of imaging technology,its clinical use is still limited by sensitivity,cost-effectiveness,availability,and others.Close clinical follow-up and monitoring of patients diagnosed with malignant tumors are essential for effective patient management.Based on the current literature,this review aims to summarize the early diagnosis and detection methods for bone metastases in breast cancer,prostate cancer and lung cancer,including imaging techniques,pathology,bio-chemistry and molecular methods,and to review the development trends of future diagnostic techniques.

Objective To analyze the relationship between abnormal expression of serum neurohemoglobin(NGB)and myelin basic protein(MBP)and the cerebral neurodevelopment of neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods A total of 89 preterm infants with HIE admitted in the hospital between January 2023 and March 2024 were selected as the observation group,and 60 preterm infants without HIE during the same period were selected as the control group.Serum levels of MBP,NGB and secretagogues in two groups were detected,and the neonates amplitude integration electroencephalogram score was evaluated.The neurological function of neonates was evaluated using 20 items of Neonatal Behavioral Neurological As-sessment(NBNA).The correlation test and diagnostic value were evaluated using Spearman method and re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The serum levels of NGB,MBP and secretagogue in the ob-servation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),and the amplitude integration electroencepha-logram score was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The serum MBP,NGB and secretagogue levels in the mild,moderate,and severe groups increased sequentially(P<0.05),NBNA score and amplitude integration e-lectroencephalogram score decreased sequentially(P<0.05).The levels of NGB,MBP and secretagogue were the risk factors affecting NBNA score(P<0.05),and the amplitude integration electroencephalogram score was a protective factor affecting NBNA score(P<0.05).The area under the curve of NGB and MBP in diag-nosing HIE was greater than 0.8,which had high application value.Conclusion Serum NGB and MBP levels are closely related to the severity of HIE,and have certain connection with NBNA score.Elevated levels of NGB and MBP in neonates with HIE may be related to the body's stress response to nerve damage,which could reflect to some extent the brain nerve function damage in with HIE.
