Objective: To develop a depression recognition model by integrating the spirit-expression diagnostic framework of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with machine learning algorithms. The proposed model seeks to establish a TCM-informed tool for early depression screening, thereby bridging traditional diagnostic principles with modern computational approaches. Methods: The study included patients with depression who visited the Shanghai Pudong New Area Mental Health Center from October 1, 2022 to October 1, 2023, as well as students and teachers from Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine during the same period as the healthy control group. Videos of 3 – 10 s were captured using a Xiaomi Pad 5, and the TCM spirit and expressions were determined by TCM experts (at least 3 out of 5 experts agreed to determine the category of TCM spirit and expressions). Basic information, facial images, and interview information were collected through a portable TCM intelligent analysis and diagnosis device, and facial diagnosis features were extracted using the Open CV computer vision library technology. Statistical analysis methods such as parametric and non-parametric tests were used to analyze the baseline data, TCM spirit and expression features, and facial diagnosis feature parameters of the two groups, to compare the differences in TCM spirit and expression and facial features. Five machine learning algorithms, including extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), decision tree (DT), Bernoulli naive Bayes (BernoulliNB), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification, were used to construct a depression recognition model based on the fusion of TCM spirit and expression features. The performance of the model was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). The model results were explained using the Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Results: A total of 93 depression patients and 87 healthy individuals were ultimately included in this study. There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline characteristics between the two groups (P > 0.05). The differences in the characteristics of the spirit and expressions in TCM and facial features between the two groups were shown as follows. (i) Quantispirit facial analysis revealed that depression patients exhibited significantly reduced facial spirit and luminance compared with healthy controls (P < 0.05), with characteristic features such as sad expressions, facial erythema, and changes in the lip color ranging from erythematous to cyanotic. (ii) Depressed patients exhibited significantly lower values in facial complexion L, lip L, and a values, and gloss index, but higher values in facial complexion a and b, lip b, low gloss index, and matte index (all P < 0.05). (iii) The results of multiple models show that the XGBoost-based depression recognition model, integrating the TCM “spirit-expression” diagnostic framework, achieved an accuracy of 98.61% and significantly outperformed four benchmark algorithms—DT, BernoulliNB, SVM, and KNN (P < 0.01). (iv) The SHAP visualization results show that in the recognition model constructed by the XGBoost algorithm, the complexion b value, categories of facial spirit, high gloss index, low gloss index, categories of facial expression and texture features have significant contribution to the model. Conclusion This study demonstrates that integrating TCM spirit-expression diagnostic features with machine learning enables the construction of a high-precision depression detection model, offering a novel paradigm for objective depression diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum human epididymis protein 4(HE4)levels in primary Sj?gren's syndrome(pSS)patients for renal injury.Methods A retrospective analysis of 77 pSS patients admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Yichang from September 2021 to August 2023 was performed,including 43 cases of renal injury group 34 instances of non-renal injury group,and 54 healthy physical examination subjects(HCs)as control group.Fasting peripheral venous blood(4ml)was collected to detect the serum levels of HE4,Cys-C,TNF-α,CR,C3,C4,immunoglobulin,Anti-SSA,Anti-SSB and other indicators,and analyzed the value of HE4 in the early diagnosis of kidney injury in pSS patients.Results Compared with HCs,the pSS patients had increased levels of HE4(120.02±103.86 pmol/L vs 57.5±16.52 pmol/L),Cys-C(1.30±0.81mg/L vs 0.87±014 mg/L),and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.382,3.860,all P<0.05).The serum levels of HE4,CR and TNF-α in the renal damage group were higher than those in the non-renal damage group,and the differences were statistically significant(t/χ2=2.552～4.371,all P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that,the levels of serum HE4,Cys-C,CR and TNF-α were all positively correlated with renal damage in pSS(r=0.287～0.546,all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated serum HE4 level might be an independent risk factor for inducing renal damage in pSS(Wald χ2=11.932,P<0.05).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the best cut-offvalue of serum HE4 for the diagnosis of pSS renal damage was 70.46pmol/L,the maximum Youden index was 0.625,AUC(95%CI)=0.876(0.799～0.954).Conclusion The serum HE4 level in patients with pSS is positively correlated with renal injury and has predictive value for the occurrence of renal injury.

Objective To explore the effects of home-based exercise rehabilitation on cardiac structure, valvular function, and exercise capacity in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Methods 49 patients with severe AS who underwent TAVR at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from January 2024 to February 2025 were enrolled. They were divided into an exercise group (n＝25) or a non-exercise group (n＝24) based on participating or not in home-based rehabilitation after TAVR. The exercise group received 12 weeks of home-based exercise training (aerobic exercise plus resistance training every week); the non-exercise group received routine care. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was used to assess cardiac structural parameters before discharge (T0) and after 12 weeks of exercise (T1). Functional outcomes including the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Duke Activity Status Index (DASI), and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) were compared between the two groups. A linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze the effect of home-based rehabilitation on echocardiographic parameters. Patients were stratified by baseline 6MWT (＜240 m as low-function subgroup, ≥240 m as high-function subgroup) to compare exercise-related outcomes between subgroups. Results At T1, the exercise group had a longer 6MWT distance than the non-exercise group (P＝0.012). The linear mixed-effects model showed that after 12 weeks of exercise, the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) decreased in the exercise group but slightly increased in the non-exercise group, with a significant difference in changes over time between the two groups (P_interaction＝0.030). The exercise group also showed greater improvement in effective orifice area index (P_interaction＝0.028) and effective orifice area (P_interaction＝0.042) than the non-exercise group. Subgroup analysis revealed that in the low-function subgroup, the exercise group showed greater improvement in the 6MWT (P_interaction＝0.035) and the effective orifice area index (P_interaction＝0.046) compared to the non-exercise group; in the high-function subgroup, the exercise group showed greater improvement only in LVEDD compared to the non-exercise group (P_interaction＝0.046). Conclusions Home-based exercise rehabilitation improves exercise capacity, optimizes left ventricular remodeling, and enhances valvular function in patients with severe AS after TAVR, with greater benefits observed in patients with lower baseline 6MWT.

Objective To explore the compatibility and combination patterns of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)formulas in treating kidney deficiency and blood stasis type osteoporosis,to identify the most frequently used drug pairs,and to explore their mechanisms of action in treating kidney deficiency and blood stasis type osteoporosis through network pharmacology and molecular docking,providing theoretical guidance for clinical medication.Methods Formulas used for treating kidney deficiency and blood stasis type osteopo-rosis in the past 10 years were screened from databases such as CNKI and Wanfang.SPSS,Origin,and IBM SPSS Modeler software were used for frequency,taste and meridian statistics,and drug combination analysis.Cluster analysis was applied to identify the core drug combinations.The best drug pair for treating kidney de-ficiency and blood stasis type osteoporosis was selected.Network pharmacology analysis was conducted on this drug pair to identify core targets,main components,and signaling pathways.Molecular docking was performed using AutoDockTools,AutoDock Vina,and PyMOL software to further verify the possibility of their interac-tions.Results A total of 117 formulas containing 148 TCMs were screened out.The frequently used drugs and combinations were mainly kidney-yang and kidney-yin tonics and blood-activating and stasis-eliminating drugs,with sweet and warm tastes,mostly attributed to the liver and kidney meridians.Further cluster analy-sis of drugs with a frequency greater than 20 yielded five categories.The Epimedium-Bupleurum combination was selected for network pharmacology analysis,which identified 89 targets.Core targets included STAT3,IL-6,and JUN.Main components were cryptotanshinone,kaempferol,luteolin,and quercetin.Molecular docking was performed on the main components and core targets to verify the treatment effect of the drugs on osteopo-rosis.Conclusion TCM treatment of kidney deficiency and blood stasis type OP mainly focuses on tonifying the liver and kidney and activating blood circulation to remove stasis,supplemented by tonifying the spleen and boosting qi.This can provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of OP.Additionally,the Epime-dium-Bupleurum drug pair can exert therapeutic effects on osteoporosis through a multi-target and multi-pathway mechanism,laying the foundation for subsequent experiments and clinical applications.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.
