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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Yangxin Tongmai Formula （养心通脉方， YTF） in trea-ting coronary heart disease with blood stasis syndrome based on DNA methylation. MethodsSeventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into a control group （n=12） and a modeling group （n=60）. The modeling group was subjected to a high-fat diet， intragastric administration of vitamin D3， and subcutaneous injection of isoprenaline to establish the rat model of coronary heart disease with blood stasis syndrome. Forty-one successfully modeled rats were then randomly allocated into model group， YTF low-， medium-， and high-dose groups， and the atorvastatin calcium group， with 8 rats in each group and 1 rat reserved. The YTF low-， medium-， and high-dose groups received YTF at 6， 12， and 18 g/（kg·d） by gavage， respectively. The atorvastatin calcium group received atorvastatin calcium tablets at 1.8 mg/（kg·d） by gavage. The control group and the model group received 0.9% sodium chloride injection at 4 ml/（kg·d） by gavage. All administrations were performed once daily for 3 weeks. Twenty-four hours after the last administration， serum lipid levels including total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， myocardial enzymes including cardiac troponin T （cTnT）， creatine kinase MB （CK-MB）， and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， and inflammatory factors including interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and interleukin-10 （IL-10） were detected by ELISA. Pathological changes in myocardial tissue were observed via HE staining. Whole blood DNA methylation sequencing was used to analyze differential methylation gene expression among the control group， model group， and YTF high-dose group. Western Blotting was used to verify the protein levels of the key genes and downstream signaling pathways. ResultsCompared to the control group， the model group showed increased levels of TC， TG， LDL-C， cTnT， CK-MB， LDH， and IL-1β， along with decreased levels of HDL-C and IL-10 （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to the model group， all treatment groups exhibited decreased levels of TC， LDL-C， CK-MB， and LDH， along with increased IL-10 levels. Among these， the high-dose YTF group demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing cTnT levels compared to the other TCM groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. HE staining indicated that the YTF high-dose group ameliorated myocardial cell swelling， disordered arrangement， pyknosis， and disappearance of nuclei， thereby reducing myocardial cell damage. Whole blood DNA methylation sequencing identified 240 differentially methylated genes shared by the control group， model group， and YTF high-dose group， including 109 hypermethylated and 131 hypomethylated genes； eif2ak3 was identified as a key differentially methylated gene. Compared to the control group， the model group exhibited increased protein levels of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3 （eIf2ak3）， phosphorylated protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase （p-PERK）， activating transcription factor 4 （ATF4）， C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP）， and Bax， along with a decreased level of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） protein （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to the model group， the YTF high-dose group showed decreased protein levels of eIf2ak3， p-PERK， ATF4， CHOP， and Bax， and an increased level of Bcl-2 protein （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionYTF may regulate key differentially methylated genes such as eIf2ak3 and the PERK/ATF4/CHOP signaling pathway， thereby inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress， reducing myocardial cell apoptosis， and exerting therapeutic effects in coronary heart disease blood stasis syndrome.

Objective To explore the occurrence and influencing factors of MODS in elderly pa-tients with SAH.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 187 elderly SAH patients admitted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from January 2021 to June 2024.According to the presence or absence of MODS,they were divided into MODS group(81 cases)and non-MODS group(106 cases).Their general clinical data were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for MODS in elderly SHA patients.ROC curve analysis was applied to evaluate the predictive value of the major risk factors for MODS in the patients.Results The MODS group had significantly ad-vanced age,larger proportion of modified Fisher grades Ⅲ—Ⅳ,higher APACHE Ⅱ score,and in-creased FPG level than the non-MODS group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE Ⅱ score(OR=1.108,95％CI:1.070-1.148,P=0.000)and mo-dified Fisher grade(OR=1.143,95％CI:1.095-1.194,P=0.000)were independent risk factors for MODS in elderly SAH patients.ROC curve analysis suggested that the AUC value of APACHE Ⅱ score,modified Fisher grade and their combination in predicting the occurrence of MODS in elderly SAH patients was 0.809,0.737 and 0.880,respectively,with a sensitivity of 59.35％,88.93％and 84.02％,and a specificity of 88.73％,58.52％and 81.15％,respectively.The combined detection showed better predictive performance than the indicator alone(P＜0.01).Con-clusion The incidence of MODS is quite high in elderly patients with SAH.APACHE Ⅱ score and modified Fisher grade are the main risk factors affecting the occurrence of MODS.

Objective:To obtain a polyvalent single-chain variable fragment（scFv）against West Nile virus through PEGylation in order to improve its antigen-binding ability and neutralizing activity.Methods:A scFv carrying a C-terminal cysteine residue（scFvC）was constructed by introducing Cys into the C-terminal of scFv against West Nile virus. Then the multimerization of scFvC was achieved by targeting the thiol group of Cys with maleimide-activated polyethylene glycol. ELISA was used to detect the antigen-binding activity of the multivalent scFvC. Pseudovirus-based neutralization assay was used to evaluate the neutralizing activity of the multivalent scFvC in vitro. One-way analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis. Results:The PEGylated scFvC multimers showed higher antigen-binding ability than the monomeric scFvC. In the pseudovirus-based neutralization assay，both monomeric scFvC and PEGylated scFvC multimers showed good neutralizing activity compared with the control group（ P<0.000 1）. Moreover，the PEGylated scFvC multimers showed a more effective ability to block the pseudovirus infection in target cells（ P<0.05），suggesting that the PEGylated scFvC multimers could enhance their function in vitro through avidity effect. Conclusion:In this study，a scFvC targeting West Nile virus is successfully constructed and its polyvalent form is generated through PEGylation，which improves the antigen-binding and neutralizing activity of the parental scFv.

Using recombinant plasmid as amplification templates, the optimal reaction conditions and reaction system were screened according to the Ct value, fluorescence intensity, and shape of amplification curve and was evaluated for sensitivity, reproducibility, and specificity. Meanwhile, the possibility of practical application of the method was explored by testing 172 clinical samples and 256 municipal wastewater samples. Results:A qRT-PCR assay for N_sgRNA in SARS-CoV-2 was initially established. The detection limit of the assay was 20 copies/mL, and the variation coefficients of in-batch (0.002%~0.767%) and batch to batch repetition (0.016%~0.752%) were less than 1%. Only N_sgRNA recombinant plasmid was detected in the specificity assay. So the method is more highly sensitive, specific and reproducible. The RatiosgRNA/ gRNA of clinical samples HK.3, EG.5.1, JN.1 and their sub-lineages and their corresponding urban sewage samples in epidemic period were significantly different ( P<0.05). There is a strong correlation between the median of RatiosgRNA/ gRNA in clinical samples and sewage samples in the same period (correlation coefficient r=1.000, P=0.010). Conclusions:In this study, a qRT-PCR method for detecting N_sgRNA of SARS-CoV-2 was established and the method has the characteristics of higher sensitivity, stronger specificity and better repeatability, and it can be used to detect SARS-CoV-2 infectivity.
