This paper has constructed a traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） specialized disease dataset platform for mixed hemorrhoids based on a multimodal large model， and the preliminary application has been validated. The platform uses StarRocks to establish a four-level data warehouse system， enabling the aggregation， cleaning， and standardization of multi-source heterogeneous data. Using DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B as the base model， domain fine-tuning is performed through low-rank adaptation （LoRA） technology. Combined with LLaMA-3.3 natural language processing and reasoning chain techniques， the platform enables intelligent parsing and structured extraction of unstructured TCM medical records. It accurately identifies six major categories and 28 subcategories of entities， including symptoms and syndromes， with a fine-tuned model F1 score of 93.8%. The platform has established a high-quality specialized disease dataset containing more than 50,000 medical records and has been applied in a real-world study involving 17,831 patients， preliminarily verifying the efficacy of TCM heritage surgery.

Background As a pillar industry in China, the manufacturing sector has a high incidence of non-fatal occupational injuries. The factors influencing non-fatal occupational injuries in this industry are closely related at various levels, including individual, equipment, environment, and management, making the analysis of these influencing factors complex. Objective To identify influencing factors of non-fatal occupational injuries among manufacturing workers, providing a basis for targeted interventions and surveillance. Methods A total of 2243 frontline workers from cable and shipbuilding enterprises were selected as study subjects to investigate the incidence of non-fatal occupational injuries and collect information at four levels: individual, equipment, management, and environment in past 12 months. Data balancing was performed using resampling, and LASSO regression was used to select factors of non-fatal occupational injuries. The influence degree and type of variables were judged based on the magnitude of the estimated coefficients of each variable, where variables with estimated coefficients > 0 are risk factors, and those <0 are protective factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve (AUC) was used to test the performance of the model, with an AUC value > 0.7 indicating good model performance. Results Among the 2243 frontline workers, males accounted for 77.7% (1742 out of 2243), with the main age range being 40-49 years old, representing 29.5% (661 out of 2243), 82.7% of the workers (1854 out of 2243) were married, and 55.6% (1248 out of 2243) had a junior middle school education level. The average monthly income for 51.0% (1144 out of 2243) of the workers was between 5000 and 6999 Chinese Yuan. The incidence of non-fatal occupational injuries among the manufacturing workers was 8.4% (189/2243) in the past 12 months. Among the 22 factors associated with the occurrence of non-fatal occupational injuries (P<0.05), 10 were individual-level factors, including gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, colleague relationships, average exercise duration, job burnout, work fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological and sensory organ diseases; 3 were equipment-level factors, including equipment operability, hazardous workpieces, and safety hazards; 5 were environmental-level factors, including low temperatures, special operations, noise, workspace size, and dirty and disorderly environment; and 4 were management-level factors, including daily working hours, weekly working days, overtime, and pre-job technical training. The AUC value of the LASSO regression model was 0.704 and the final model retained a total of 10 variables. Among them, there were 7 risk factors for non-fatal occupational injuries (coefficient > 0), including safety hazards, musculoskeletal disorders, dangerous workpieces, job burnout, dirty and disorderly environment, smoking, and male gender; and 3 protective factors (coefficient < 0), including pre-job technical training, good colleague relationship, and long working days per week. Conclusion Manufacturing enterprises need to focus on the incidence of non-fatal occupational injuries and conduct targeted interventions for non-fatal occupational injuries by controlling potential safety hazards, providing pre-job technical training, reducing dangerous workpieces, rectifying working environment, and reasonably arranging working hours.

Objective To explore the association of diabetes status with the development of tuberculosis (TB) among the community population in Shanghai, and to provide evidence for the formulation of tuberculosis prevention and control strategies. Methods This population-based cohort study was based on Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank (SSACB) in China. The baseline data were acquired by questionnaires, physical examinations and blood biochemistry tests. TB incidence was obtained by matching with TB management information system data. A Cox proportional risk model was established to assess the risk of tuberculosis. Results A total of 36 014 research subjects were included, with an average age of 56.3±11.3 years, of which 14 587 (40.5%) were male. Over 6 years of follow-up, 47 individuals progressed to tuberculosis (incidence rate: 19.8 per 100 000 person-year, 95% CI: 14.6 -26.4). An increased risk of TB was observed in participants with newly diagnosed diabetes compared with those without diabetes (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.73; 95% CI, 1.19 - 6.28). Conclusion The risk of tuberculosis in newly diagnosed diabetic patients is significantly increased, and strengthening tuberculosis screening for this population should be considered in practical work.

Objective To study the spatial distribution of the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Hubei Province and its influencing factors, so as to improve the theoretical basis for scientific development of tuberculosis prevention and control measures in the future. Methods The data of reported incidence of tuberculosis and related influencing factors in various counties and districts of Hubei Province in 2020 were collected. Global Moran's I index, hotspot analysis and geographically weighted regression (GWR) model analysis were used to calculate the spatial autocorrelation of the incidence of tuberculosis, and to analyze the influencing factors affecting the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Results There were obvious regional differences in the space distribution of the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Hot spot analysis showed positive spatial correlation and obvious clustering. The GWR model (AICc=784.251) in this study had higher AICc value compared to the ordinary least squares regression (OLS) model (AICc=804.2585). The GWR model showed that the increase in the proportion of the population aged 65 and above and the proportion of the ethnic minority population had a significant promoting effect on the increase of the incidence rate of tuberculosis, and there was significant spatial heterogeneity. The effect of PM_2.5 concentration on the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis varied in different regions, and the degree of effect was also different. Conclusion The proportion of people aged 65 and above and the proportion of ethnic minorities may significantly influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The effect of PM_2.5 concentration varies in different regions, so targeted measures should be formulated according to the situation in different regions.

BACKGROUND: Gluconeogenesis is a critical metabolic pathway for maintaining glucose homeostasis, and its dysregulation can lead to glycometabolic disorders. This study aimed to identify hub biomarkers of these disorders to provide a theoretical foundation for enhancing diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: Gene expression profiles from liver tissues of three well-characterized gluconeogenesis mouse models were analyzed to identify commonly differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), machine learning techniques, and diagnostic tests on transcriptome data from publicly available datasets of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients were employed to assess the clinical relevance of these DEGs. Subsequently, we identified hub biomarkers associated with gluconeogenesis-related glycometabolic disorders, investigated potential correlations with immune cell types, and validated expression using quantitative polymerase chain reaction in the mouse models. RESULTS: Only a few common DEGs were observed in gluconeogenesis-related glycometabolic disorders across different contributing factors. However, these DEGs were consistently associated with cytokine regulation and oxidative stress (OS). Enrichment analysis highlighted significant alterations in terms related to cytokines and OS. Importantly, osteomodulin ( OMD ), apolipoprotein A4 ( APOA4 ), and insulin like growth factor binding protein 6 ( IGFBP6 ) were identified with potential clinical significance in T2DM patients. These genes demonstrated robust diagnostic performance in T2DM cohorts and were positively correlated with resting dendritic cells. CONCLUSIONS Gluconeogenesis-related glycometabolic disorders exhibit considerable heterogeneity, yet changes in cytokine regulation and OS are universally present. OMD , APOA4 , and IGFBP6  may serve as hub biomarkers for gluconeogenesis-related glycometabolic disorders.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the therapeutic mechanism of compound Centella asiatica formula (CCA) for alleviating Schistosoma japonicum (Sj)-induced liver fibrosis in mice. METHODS: The active components and targets of CCA were identified using the TCMSP database with cross-analysis of Sj-related liver fibrosis targets. A "drug-component-target-pathway-disease" network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1. Functional enrichment analysis (GO/KEGG) was performed using DAVID. Molecular docking study was carried out to validate interactions between the core targets and the key compounds. For experimental validation of the results, 36 mice were divided into control group, Sj-infected model group, and CCA-treated groups. In the latter two groups, liver fibrosis was induced via abdominal infection with Sj cercariae for 8 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of daily treatment with CCA decoction or saline. Hepatic pathology of the mice was assessedwith HE and Masson staining, and hepatic expressions of collagen-I and collagen-III were detected using immunohistochemistry; serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were determined with ELISA. Hepatic expressions of TLR4 and MyD88 proteins were analyzed with Western blotting. RESULTS: We identified a total of 107 bioactive CCA components and 791 targets, including 37 intersection targets linked to Sj-induced fibrosis. The core targets included TNF, TP53, JUN, MMP9, and CXCL8, involving the IL-17 signaling, lipid metabolism, TLR4/MyD88 axis, and cancer pathways. Molecular docking study confirmed strong binding affinity between quercetin (a primary CCA component) and TNF/TP53/JUN/MMP9. In Sj-infected mouse models, CCA treatment significantly attenuated hepatic inflammatory cell infiltration, reduced collagen-I and collagen-III deposition, improved tissue architecture, reduced serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels, and downregulated TLR4 and MyD88 expressions in the liver. CONCLUSIONS CCA mitigates Sj-induced liver fibrosis by targeting TNF, TP53, JUN, and MMP9 to modulate the TLR4/MyD88 pathway, thereby suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine release, inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation, reducing collagen deposition, and preventing granuloma formation in the liver.

Persistent and maladaptive drug-related memories represent a key component in drug addiction. Converging evidence from both preclinical and clinical studies has demonstrated the potential efficacy of the memory reconsolidation updating procedure (MRUP), a non-pharmacological strategy intertwining two distinct memory processes: reconsolidation and extinction-alternatively termed "the memory retrieval-extinction procedure". This procedure presents a promising approach to attenuate, if not erase, entrenched drug memories and prevent relapse. The present review delineates the applications, molecular underpinnings, and operational boundaries of MRUP in the context of various forms of substance dependence. Furthermore, we critically examine the methodological limitations of MRUP, postulating potential refinement to optimize its therapeutic efficacy. In addition, we also look at the potential integration of MRUP and neurostimulation treatments in the domain of substance addiction. Overall, existing studies underscore the significant potential of MRUP, suggesting that interventions predicated on it could herald a promising avenue to enhance clinical outcomes in substance addiction therapy.

Objective To explore the impact of mindful diet intervention on dietary behaviors,body composition,and mindfulness levels in overweight/obese children.Methods A total of 74 over-weight/obese children who sought treatment at a tertiary-level hospital in Hunan Province were selected as study subjects.They were randomly divided into experimental group and control group using the random number table method,with 37 cases in each group.The control group implemented a conven-tional body weight management program,while the experimental group received mindful diet interven-tion in addition to the conventional program.Changes in body mass index(BMI),body fat percent-age,visceral fat area,dietary behaviors,and mindfulness levels were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results Before intervention,there were no statistically signifi-cant differences in general information,body composition,dietary behaviors,and mindfulness levels between the two groups(P＞0.05).After 8 weeks of intervention,the BMI,body fat percentage,and visceral fat area of children in both groups were lower than those before intervention.The scores for e-motional diet,restrictive diet,and external diet were also lower than those before intervention,while the mindfulness levels were higher than those before intervention,with statistically significant differ-ences(P＜0.05).The experimental group showed better results than the control group in terms of BMI,body fat percentage,visceral fat area,scores for emotional diet,restrictive diet,and external di-et,as well as mindfulness levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion Mindful diet intervention can effectively improve dietary behaviors,reduce body fat percentage and visceral fat area,and enhance mindfulness levels in overweight/obese children.

Objective The ketogenic diet(KD)is a dietary intervention with potential therapeu-tic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS),yet the existing evidence remains controversial.Fur-thermore,there is a lack of evidence-based medicine data for a comprehensive assessment of the safety of KD in the treatment of PCOS.This study aims to systematically evaluate,through a meta-analysis,the effects of KD on body composition,metabolic indicators,and reproductive hormone levels in over-weight/obese patients with PCOS,and to explore its safety and clinical applicability.Methods This study systematically searched PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Database,and VIP Database.Randomized controlled trials(RCT)on KD for the treatment of PCOS were included,with the search time frame spanning from the establishment of each database to May 31,2025.Two researchers independently screened and extracted data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,and assessed the quality of the in-cluded literature using the Cochrane Handbook.The Q-test and inconsistency index(I2)were used to evaluate the heterogeneity of the results.Based on the level of heterogeneity,a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model was selected for data pooling.Sensitivity analysis was employed to explore the robustness of the results.Results A total of 7 RCT studies involving 495 overweight/obese subjects were included in this study.Body composition analysis revealed that,compared with the control group,KD significantly reduced body mass index,body weight,waist circumference,waist-to-hip ra-tio,total fat mass,and visceral fat area in overweight/obese patients with PCOS(P＜0.05),but had no significant effect on fat-free mass.Analysis of glucose and lipid metabolism indicated that KD sig-nificantly decreased fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,insulin resistance index,and triglycerides(P＜0.05),but had no significant impacts on total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.Reproductive hormone analysis showed that KD significantly reduced luteinizing hormone,the ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone,and total testosterone levels,while significantly increased sex hormone-binding globulin levels(P＜0.05),but had no significant effect on follicle-stimulating hormone.Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results were relatively robust.In terms of safety,no serious adverse reactions were observed during the KD intervention;however,further verification through high-quality RCTs with larger sample sizes and long-term interventions is still required.Conclusion KD can effectively improve body composition,glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism indicators,and reproductive hormone levels in overweight/obese patients with PCOS.This study confirms that KD significantly increase sex hormone-binding globulin level and reduce visceral fat area.It is found that KD has a more pronounced effect on impro-ving triglycerides compared to its effects on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipo-protein cholesterol.The current evidence does not indicate significant safety risks associated with KD,but relevant conclusions still require further confirmation with more high-quality evidence.
