OBJECTIVE To construct a preoperative medication reconciliation model assisted by a localized large language model (LLM) for gastric cancer and evaluate its clinical efficacy. METHODS A total of 249 gastric cancer patients with a history of continuous medication before admission in the Gastric Surgery Department of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into training set (154 cases) and validation set (95 cases) based on the order of time. Based on guidelines, drug package inserts, and other evidence, a standardized medication reconcili ation process and a structured knowledge base were constructed. DeepSeek-V3 LLM was deployed privately in the hospital, combined with retrieval-augmented generation technology, to achieve automated integration of medication information, risk screening, and generation of personalized recommendations. The quality of LLM-generated recommendations was evaluated using automatic metrics (BERT Score and ROUGE-1, 2, L) and manual scoring [seven-dimensional index (7DI) ] . Spearman correlation analysis was performed to explore the correlation between automatic scores and manual scores. Cronbach’s α coefficient was used to test the internal consistency of manual scoring results. The time consumed by manual and LLM-assisted medication reconciliation was compared across tasks of different difficulty levels (simple, moderate, and high). RESULTS A structured knowledge base covering 8 major drug categories was finally established, covering common and high-risk preoperative medication scenarios and providing structured retrieval support for the LLM. For automatic evaluation, the precision, recall, and F1-score of BERT Score were 0.783±0.033, 0.811±0.038, and 0.796±0.028, respectively. The F1-scores of ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2 and ROUGE-L were 0.566±0.067, 0.338±0.076 and 0.468±0.082, respectively. The 7DI scores from three manual raters ranged from 32.06 to 33.45. The F1-score of automatic scoring was significantly positively correlated with the 7DI score of manual scoring (maximum coefficient of determination=0.611, P <0.001), and the internal consistency of manual scoring was good (Cronbach’s α = 0.876). In terms of efficiency, LLM-assisted medication reconciliation reduced time consumption by more than 90% compared with manual reconciliation in the simple, moderate, and high-difficulty groups ( P <0.001). CONCLUSIONS The medication reconciliation model constructed based on a localized LLM and structured knowledge base shows high accuracy, consistency, and clinical applicability in complex preoperative medication scenarios for gastric cancer. It can improve the efficiency of medication reconciliation and reduce potential medication risks.

Objective:To summarize the technical difficulties, key points and cosmetic effects of Ti-loop patch application in breast shaping of immediate reconstruction with omental flap transplantation after mastectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 90 cases with breast cancer who underwent immediate breast reconstruction by using laparoscopically harvested omental flap alone or combined with prosthesis after nipple and areola complex sparing mastectomy from May. 2020 to Jan. 2023 in Hunan Cancer Hospital was retrospectively analyzed. All patients were female between 16 and 55 years old with the average age of 42. Their courses of the disease range from 5 to 26 months with the mean of 15.5 months. These patients received mastectomy with conservation of nipple and areola, and then the greater omentum with right pedicle were harvested laparoscopically. Ti-loop patch was used to hang and fix the greater omentum as a support. 27 patients accepted immediate breast reconstruction with pedicled greater omentum alone, while 63 subjects with greater omentum and gel prosthesis. Among them, contralateral breast contraction and lift was operated on 9 cases.Results:All the pedicled greater omentum successfully survived, and wound surfaces of donor and recipient sites healed at stage I. Axillary lymph node dissection and postoperative radiotherapy were performed on 14 patients with positive pathological examination of sentinel lymph nodes. Breasts of two patients were found to be smaller after postoperative radiotherapy. All 90 subjects were followed up for 5 to 32 months, and the average follow-up period was 16.4 months. The reconstructed breasts were good in shape and tactile sensation. Only punctate scars were observed in donor sites of abdomen. All patients recovered with no upper limb lymphedema, no short and long term complications in abdomen, and only one patient had papillary recurrence without distant metastasis.Conclusions:The omental flap is hard to be sutured and shaped in the reconstructed breast, while easily to be avulsed and form hematoma. The application of Ti-loop patch, which could semi-surround and wrap the greater omentum, and suspend and fix it on the chest wall in upper pole of the breast as a support, can significantly improve the reconstruction effect.

Objective:To assess the clinicopathological characteristics of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers (NMIBC) with high expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and to examine the prognostic values of HER2 expression in NMIBC patients with intravesical anthracycline instillation.Methods:A total of 221 NMIBC samples diagnosed between January 1, 2017 and April 15, 2024 were collected. Their clinical, diagnostic and treatment features were analyzed. The expression of HER2 protein and the Ki-67 proliferation index were assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC). For the patients with HER2 high-expression (IHC 3+), the clinical pathological features (age, gender, tumor grade, Ki-67 expression level, tumor size, and tumor number) were compared with those without (i.e., HER2 IHC 0/1+/2+). The impact of HER2 expression on the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients with intravesical anthracycline (epirubicin or pirarubicin) instillation after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) was evaluated.Results:Among the 221 NMIBC patients, 30 (13.6%) were HER2 IHC 3+, 142 (64.3%) HER 2+, 46 (20.8%) HER2 1+, and 3 (1.4%) HER2 IHC 0. The proportion of high-grade tumors in patients with HER2 high-expression was higher than that in patients without (83.3% versus 44.5%, P<0.001). Additionally, a high Ki-67 index (≥20%) was more commonly noted in HER2 high-expression tumors ( P=0.003). In the patients treated with intravesical anthracycline instillation, HER2 high-expression was associated with a shorter RFS ( P<0.001). Conclusion:HER2 high-expression seems to be not only associated with worse clinicopathological features of NMIBC but also a poor RFS in NMIBC patients treated with anthracycline instillation after TURBT.

Objective:To investigate the variations and co-alteration of KRAS and HER-family genes in the patients with ampullary carcinoma.Methods:A total of 37 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary ampullary carcinoma specimens, which were collected at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2019 to October 2024 were analyzed for KRAS and HER-family gene mutations using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed for HER2 protein expression in HER2 mutation cases and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for further gene status in HER2 IHC 2+cases.Results:In our cohort (22 males, 15 females; 31-82 years old), KRAS gene mutations were detected in 51.4% (19/37) of cases, with G12D being the most frequent abnormality (7/19), followed by G12V (5/19) and Q61R (3/19). Other variants of KRAS gene included G12C, A146T, N116H, and Q61H (each 1/19). In this cohort, 27.0% (10/37) of cases harbored HER-family gene alterations with most frequently in HER2 (6/10) and HER3 genes (missense mutations mainly). Notably, 3 cases (8.1%, 3/37) with coexistence of KRAS and HER-family genes mutations were recognized in our series, including KRAS p.G12D/HER2 p.V842I/HER2 p.V777L (c.2329 G>T)/HER3 p.Asp581Asn, KRAS p.Q61R/HER4 p.D1018H and KRAS p.G12C/HER2 p.R678Q. Additionally, a mutation of HER3 p.V104L (c.310 G>C) was identified in our population. Moreover, 4 novel mutations including HER3 p.V296E, HER3 p.V920L (c.2758 G>T), HER3 p.Asp581Asn, and HER4 p.D1018H were detected. In 6 tumors with HER2 gene changes (16.2%, 6/37), 5 variants with the high proportion of HER2 p.S310Y (3/6) were revealed. A tumor (HER2 IHC 2+) with HER2 p.S310Y presented HER2 gene amplification confirmed by NGS and FISH, and another one (also HER2 IHC 2+) with HER2 p.L755S possessed HER2 gene amplification determined by FISH assay.Conclusion:In ampullary carcinoma, co-alteration of KRAS and HER-family genes is observed, and HER2 gene mutations account for more than half of HER-family gene abnormities, which may be accompanied by gene amplification.
