To conduct a bibliometric and keyword analysis on the domestic and international literature of medical artificial intelligence （AI） ethics， explore the research frontiers， hotspots， and development trends in this field， and provide references for promoting the construction of China’s ethical governance system on medical AI. Utilizing CiteSpace software， a comparative analysis was conducted between the reviewed domestic and international literature regarding their publication volume， author and institutional collaboration networks， as well as keyword co-occurrence， clustering， timeline graph， and burst， to explore the research hotspots and development trends in the field. A total of 2 393 Chinese and English publications were included. In recent years， research topics in medical AI ethics both domestically and internationally focused on three aspects， encompassing their theoretical research， emerging domains and their ethical risks， as well as the ethical governance and regulation of medical AI. International research hotspots included federated learning， computer-aided detection， informed consent， and other aspects， whereas domestic research hotspots were smart healthcare， responsibility ethics， ethical values， and other aspects. Internationally， greater attention was placed on ethical issues concerning population health and healthcare in the public health domain， whereas domestic research topics tended to focus more on theoretical discussions and the establishment of ethical principles. The ethical governance of medical AI represents a shared global challenge， necessitating enhanced research into both the variances and commonalities in this field.

Background Lead is a typical persistent environmental pollutant that can accumulate in bones for decades. During pregnancy, alterations in calcium metabolism promote the mobilization of bone lead, resulting in secondary exposure; however, the mechanisms by which pregnancy-associated bone lead mobilization affects maternal renal function remain unclear. Objective To investigate the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in pregnancy-related bone lead mobilization-induced renal injury. Methods Newly weaned female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to a control or a lead-exposed group administered either 0.05% sodium acetate or 0.05% lead acetate in drinking water. Following a 4-week lead exposure and a 4-week washout period, the females were co-housed with healthy age-matched males for mating. Rats were sacrificed at early (gestational day 3) and late (gestational day 17) pregnancystages, respectively. Renal histopathology was assessed using hematoxylin and eosin staining staining. Mitochondria-related indicators, including oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and energy metabolism, were measured. Differential metabolites were identified using serum metabolomics. Results Renal injury in the lead-exposed pregnant rats progressed in a time-dependent manner, characterized by degeneration of proximal tubular epithelial cells, glomerular hyaline changes, and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration. Repeated measures ANOVA indicated a significant interaction between the treatment factor (lead exposure) and the temporal factor (gestational stage) on renal injury (P<0.001). Further analysis of mitochondrial function-related indicators in late-pregnancy renal tissue revealed that the lead exposure group exhibited significantly increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) (P<0.05), accompanied by a reduction in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) activities (P<0.05); regarding inflammatory markers, levels of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were elevated (P<0.01), whereas interleukin-33 (IL-33) was decreased in the lead-exposed group (P<0.05); energy metabolism-related indicators, including adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level, Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-ATPase activities, and mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I, III, and V activities, were significantly reduced (P<0.05) in the lead-exposed gorup. The typical differential metabolite N-methylisoleucine, identified through serum metabolomics analysis, was negatively correlated with blood lead levels, kidney injury scores, and IL-1β, while positively correlated with catalase (CAT) activity and Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-ATPase. Conclusions Mitochondrial dysfunction may play a critical role in renal injury induced by bone lead mobilization during late gestation.

Objective:To investigate the survival outcomes and prognostic factors in patients undergoing radical resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on 992 patients who underwent radical resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer at the Pancreatic Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to June 2024. In this study, 577 (58.2%) were male and 415 (41.8%) were female,with an age of (65±9) years (range: 26 to 86 years). Follow-up continued until June 2024. Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and prognostic factors were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.Results:Among 992 patients,open surgery was the predominant approach (89.1%, 884/992), and radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) was performed in 317 patients (32.0%). Combined organ resection,venous resection,and arterial resection were performed in 23.5%, 9.3%,and 11.2% of patients,respectively. The rates of R0, R1-1 mm, and R1-direct resections were 49.8% (494/992),41.5% (412/992), and 8.7% (86/992),respectively. Stage ⅡB was the most common TNM stage (32.2%,319/992). A total of 801 patients (80.8%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. The median follow-up period was 32.0(8.8) months(range:3.2 to 105.3 months),during which 508 patients (51.2%) died. The overall median survival (OS) was 26.4 months,with 1-,3-, and 5-year survival rates of 79.0%,40.0%, and 29.0%, respectively. In the recent five years (from 2020 to 2024), the median OS improved significantly to 34.1 months compared to 20.0 months from 2016 to 2019 ( P<0.01). Histological subtype analysis showed that the median OS time was 26.7 months for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, n=855),58.9 months for invasive intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC, n=32),and 15.7 months for adenosquamous carcinoma of pancreas (ASCP, n=73) ( P=0.001). Among PDAC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved survival (29.1 months vs. 14.4 months, P<0.01);in IPMC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy also extended survival (65.7 months vs. 58.9 months, P=0.047). Although ASCP patients receiving chemotherapy had a longer median OS time than those without (18.8 months vs. 8.9 months),the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.151). Multivariate Cox regression analysis in PDAC patients indicated that adjuvant chemotherapy, R0 resection, T stage,N stage,and tumor differentiation were independent prognostic factors ( P<0.01). The median OS time by TNM stage was:not reached for stage ⅠA, 51.6 months for ⅠB, 25.5 months for ⅡA, 23.7 months for ⅡB, 23.0 months for Ⅲ, and 14.4 months for Ⅳ. The median OS time for R0,R1-1 mm,and R1-direct resections was 34.1,24.7,and 15.7 months,respectively ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Adjuvant chemotherapy,R0 resection,tumor stage,and differentiation are independent prognostic factors for pancreatic body and tail cancer.

Clinical trials represent a pivotal stage in the development of pharmaceutical drugs. Nevertheless， given the unique characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and the diagnostic and treatment principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM， the clinical evaluation techniques and methods that can comprehensively reflect the characteristics of TCM and are tailored to its specificities are still in need of refinement and innovation. This paper systematically summarizes the key techniques and methods for designing and evaluating the clinical research on the treatment of the spleen and stomach diseases with TCM from three aspects including clinical research design， evaluation， and platform construction， compares domestic and international research landscapes， and proposes for future directions. It is suggested that a multidimensional evaluation system integrating modern medicine and TCM theory should be established， and further innovation is needed in TCM research design and methodologies， leveraging intelligent devices and technologies powered by next-generation information technology to transform clinical data into high-quality TCM evidence. Moreover， standardized and shared platforms for TCM clinical data should be accelerated， so as to provide references for the design， implementation， and evaluation of future clinical research on the treatment of the spleen and stomach diseases with TCM.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of cardiac color Doppler ultrasonography for left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)complicated left heart failure(LHF).Methods:A total of 117 LVH patients complicated LHF admitted in Ningde City Hospital Affiliated to Ningde Normal College between January 2019 and January 2023(heart failure group)and 100 healthy people(control group)who underwent general physical examination in our hospital simultaneously were selected for the study.Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left atrial diameter(LAD),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd),early diastolic peak flow velocity/late diastolic peak flow velocity(E/A)were measured by cardiac color Doppler ultrasound in two groups.Receiver operating charac-teristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of cardiac color Doppler ultrasound indexes for LVH complicated LHF.In addition,the 117 patients with LVH and LHF were divided into mild group(n=54)and moderate to severe group(n=63)according to cardiac function class.Spearman correlation analysis was used to an-alyze the associationof cardiac color ultrasound parameters with cardiac function class.Results:Compared with par-ticipants in control group,those in heart failure group had significant lower LVEF[(47.88±4.75)％ vs.(69.81±5.64)％],and significant higher LAD[(44.03±4.88)mm vs.(27.56±2.76)mm vs.],LVEDd[(55.68±5.04)mm vs.(42.19±1.38)mm],E/A[(13.04±3.58)vs.(6.60±1.67)](P＜0.001 all).ROC analysis indicated that the area under the curve(AUC)of the combination of various parameters of cardiac ultrasound for diagnosing LVH with LHF was significantly higher than those of the single tests(Combined detection:AUC=0.901,95％CI 0.853～0.937 vs LVEF:AUC=0.644,95％CI 0.577～0.708,LAD:AUC=0.703,95％CI 0.637～0.763,LVEDd:AUC=0.633,95％CI 0.565～0.697,E/A:AUC=0.748,95％CI 0.685～0.804,Z=7.062,5.764,7.292,4.864,P＜0.001 all).Compared with patients in mild group,those in moderate to severe group had signifi-cant lower LVEF[(45.67±3.37)％ vs.(50.47±4.86)％],and significant higher LAD[(46.31±4.42)mm vs.(41.36±3.98)mm],LVEDd[(60.09±1.75)mm vs.(50.53±1.41)mm]and E/A[(13.99±2.96)vs.(11.93±3.92)](P＜0.01 all).Spearman correlation analysis indicated that LVEF was negatively correlated with cardiac function class(r=-0.474),while LAD(r=0.511),LVEDd(r=0.863),E/A(r=0.269)were positively corre-lated with cardiac function class(P＜0.01 all).Conclusion:Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound could better diagnose LVH complicated LHF,and also could effectively predict the cardiac function of patients with LVH and LHF.

Objective:To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA glucuronidase β pseudogene 11(GUSBP11)regulating miR-339-5p/mouse two-minute homolog 2(MDM2)axis on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of gastric cancer AGS cells.Methods:Cancerous and adjacent tissues from 25 gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment at Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2023 to June 2024 were collected.Gastric cancer AGS cells and normal gastric mucosal epithelial GES-1 cells were routinely cultured.The control plasmids and knockdown plasmids were transfected into AGS cells using transfection reagents,dividing the cells into Ctrl group,sh-NC group,sh-GUSBP11 group,sh-GUSBP11+anti-NC group,and sh-GUSBP11+anti-miR-339-5p group.The mRNA expression of GUSBP11,miR-339-5p,and MDM2 in gastric cancer tissues and cells of each group was detected by qPCR.A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between GUSBP11 or MDM2 and miR-339-5p.EdU staining,scratch healing assay,and Transwell chamber assay were adopted to assess the proliferation,migration,and invasion abilities of AGS cells,respectively.WB assay was used to measure the protein expression of CDK1,MMP-2,and MMP-9 in AGC cells.The effects of GUSBP11 knockdown on tumor growth were examined through AGS cell xenograft experiments.Results:The mRNA expression of GUSBP11 and MDM2 were significantly upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cells(both P<0.05),while miR-339-5p was significantly downregulated(P<0.05).A targeting relationship was found between GUSBP11 and miR-339-5p,as well as between MDM2 and miR-339-5p.Knockdown of GUSBP11 in AGS cells significantly inhibited MDM2 protein expression and promoted miR-339-5p expression,while inhibition of miR-339-5p promoted MDM2 protein expression.GUSBP11 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation,migration,and invasion of AGS cells,while inhibition of miR-339-5p reversed this effect.GUSBP11 knockdown significantly inhibited the protein expression of CDK1,MMP-2,and MMP-9,and inhibition of miR-339-5p reversed this effect.Furthermore,GUSBP11 knockdown significantly inhibited the growth of AGS cell xenografts.Conclusion:GUSBP11 is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cells,and knocking down GUSBP11 expression may inhibit malignant biological behaviors of gastric cancer cells through regulating the miR-339-5p/DM2 axis.

This study was aimed at investigating the effects of demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated protein(FTO)and methyltransferase methyltransferase like protein 3(METTL3),key molecules in N6-methyladenosine(m6A)modification,on the replication and proliferation of Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV).Recombinant lentiviruses were generated by packaging the FTO and green fluorescent protein into lentiviral vectors.Neuro2a cells,a mouse neuroblastoma cell line,were infected with the lentivirus,and stable FTO-expressing cell lines were obtained through puromycin selection.Successful overexpression of FTO was confirmed through fluorescence microscopy,real-time quantitative PCR,and western blot analysis.When Neuro2a cells overexpressing FTO were infected with JEV,the overexpression of FTO decreased JEV replication in the cells,and increased the expression of interferon(IFN)and related molecules.Additionally,treatment of JEV-infected Neuro2a cells with the METTL3-specific inhibitor STM2457 resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in JEV replication and viral protein expression.These findings suggested that lowering m6A methylation levels inhibits JEV replication,thus shedding light on the regulatory role of methylation modification in JEV replication.

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of biapenem combined with moxifloxacin on treatment of the elderly patients with severe pneumonia based on the expression levels of microribonucleic acid(miR)-146a,miR-124 and miR-127.METHODS A total of 112 elderly patients with severe pneumonia who were treated in Jiangnan Uni-versity Affiliated Central Hospital from Jan.2021 to Oct.2023 were recruited as the research subjects and were randomly divided into the study group and the control group,with 56 cases in each group.The control group was treated with moxifloxacin,and the study group was treated with biapenem combined with moxifloxacin,and both groups were treated for 10 consecutive days.The curative effect was compared between the two groups after the treatment for 10 days,the rehabilitation status was observed;the curative effect,expression levels of miR-146a,miR-124 and miR-127 as well as inflammatory response were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.The adverse reactions during the treatment were analyzed.RESULTS The total effective rate of the study group was 92.86％(52/56)after the treatment for 10 days,higher than 75.00％(42/56)of the control group(x2=10.693,P=0.001).The duration of cough,lung rales,recovery of body temperature and mechanical ventilation were shorter in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The expression levels of miR-146a and miR-127 of the two groups were lower after the treatment for 10 days than those before the treat-ment,the levels of whole blood white blood cell(WBC)counts,serum interleukin-6(IL-6)and procalcitonin(PCT)were lower after the treatment for 10 days than those before the treatment;the levels of the above indexes of the study group were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The expression level of serum miR-124 of the two groups was higher after the treatment for 10 days than those before the treatment,and the level of the study group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions was 14.29％in the study group,10.71％in the control group,and there was no significant difference(x2=1.298,P=0.255).CONCLUSION Biapenem combined with moxifloxacin can achieve exact effect on treatment of the elderly patients with severe pneumonia,regulate the expression levels of miR-146a,miR-124 and miR-127,inhibit the in-flammatory response of the body,and promote the rehabilitation,with the safety favorable.
