OBJECTIVE To compare the communication effect and content characteristics of the pharmaceutical science popularization account “Pharmacist Binbin” on the three platforms of TikTok, Xiaohongshu and Today’s Headlines, and explore the cross platform communication strategy of pharmaceutical science popularization videos.METHODS Quantitatively analyze the five core indicators of the “Pharmacist Binbin” science popularization account on the three major platforms (total video releases, number of followers, page views, high dissemination video related data, and platform user profile characteristics), and systematically analyze the platform attributes and content compatibility.RESULTS TikTok, Xiaohongshu, and Today’s Headlines videos were released 478, 306, and 450 items, with 245 million views, 1.164 9 million views, and 14.167 1 million views, respectively. The following users were 535 000, 95 000, and 53 000 respectively. The gender ratio of TikTok users was relatively balanced, with the majority of users aged 31 to 40 years old, preferring “short, flat, and fast”, scene-oriented science popularization, and the highest exposure. The users of Xiaohongshu were mainly young and middle-aged women in first-tier and new first-tier cities, and content related to family and maternal and child medication is more popular. Today’s Headline users were mostly middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old, and the dissemination of chronic disease science was more effective. There was a statistically significant difference in the overall video browsing volume of the three platforms with high communication power ( H =44.07, P <0.001). The browsing volume of TikTok was significantly higher than that of Xiaohongshu and Today’s Headlines ( P <0.001 after correction), and the browsing volume of Today’s Headlines was higher than that of Xiaohongshu ( P <0.001 after correction); Xiaohongshu has the highest like and collection rates, while Today’s Headline has the highest sharing and commenting rates ( P <0.05 after correction). The browsing volume of hot and time-sensitive content was significantly higher than that of non-hot and time-sensitive content ( β =0.24, P =0.012). The browsing volume of the dialogue form of one person playing two roles/personification was significantly higher than that of single-person oral explanation ( β =0.27, P =0.009).CONCLUSIONS Science popularization videos with innovative forms, timely hot topics, and long-term demand were the main high dissemination content. According to the characteristics of different platforms, such as TikTok’s flow-driven model, Xiaohongshu’s prominent vertical demand for women and families, and Today’s Headlines demand for knowledge about chronic diseases among the middle-aged and elderly, we should establish a pharmaceutical science popularization communication matrix that focuses on each other and complements each other.

Objective:
To predict and screen potential biomarkers of systemic lupus eythematosus(SLE) based on machine learning algorithms and structural biology, and to reveal their mechanisms of action and to provide new targets for disease diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
Four machine learning algorithms, random forest(RF), eXtreme gradient boosting(XGBoost), support vector machine(SVM), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO), were used to analyze the gene expression data of SLE patients in GEO(datasets: GSE121239 and GSE11907) to analyze the gene expression data of SLE patients and screen key markers. Peripheral blood single nucleated cells(PBMCs) from SLE patients were collected and RT-qPCR was used to detect differential gene expression levels. Subsequently, GSEA enrichment analysis was used to identify biomarker-related pathways. CIBERSORT immune infiltration analysis and protein interactions network were applied to calculate the sample immune cell infiltration abundance. Single-cell data were analyzed for gene expression specificity in immune cells. Interaction relationships in combination with AlphaFold3(AF3) were predicted.
Results:
Multiple algorithms were screened together to identify the unique marker gene HERC5 , and expression analysis of multiple datasets showed that HERC5 was highly expressed in SLE compared to the normal group (P < 0. 05) , and RT⁃qPCR verified the same trend (P = 0. 006 2) . Functional enrichment analysis identified the major pathway promoted by HERC5 in SLE as the interferon receptor signalling pathway (P < 0. 05) . Immune infiltration analysis showed that HERC5 was closely associated with immune cells (Neutrophils : r = 0. 39 , P < 0. 05 ; Memory B cells : r = 0. 33 , P < 0. 05 ; Activated dendritic cell : r = 0. 52 , P < 0. 05) . Most HERC5 ⁃related interacting proteins were associated with SLE ,and potential transcription factors of HERC5 and its related genes were also significantly associated with immune responses.
Conclusion
The HERC5 gene is an important biomarker for SLE , which upregulates the interferon pathway to promote SLE progression and provides a new target for SLE diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To explore the relationship between stress perception and problematic short video use among college students, as well as the chain mediating role of mind wandering and self-control.Methods:From October to November 2023, a cross-sectional survey of 434 college students was conducted by the stress perception scale, the problematic short video media use scale, the mind wandering scale and the self-control scale. Common method bias test, descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were performed using SPSS 27.0 statistical software, and Bootstrap method of PROCESS 4.0 macro program was used for chain mediation effect test.Results:The scores of stress perception, mind wandering, self-control and problematic short video use were (38.03±7.28), (16.08±4.71), (64.27±10.34), and (36.80±8.70).Pearson correlation analysis showed that stress perception, mind wandering and problematic short video use were significantly positively correlated ( r=0.35, 0.43, 0.57, all P<0.01). Stress perception, mind wandering and problematic short video use were significantly negatively correlated with self-control ( r=-0.55, -0.59, -0.54, all P<0.01). The mediating effect results showed that direct effect was not significant ( P>0.05), and mind wandering and self-control played complete mediating effects.Stress perception affected the problematic short video use through the following three pathways: the mediating effect size of mind wandering was 0.202 (95% CI=0.134-0.276). The effect size of self-control was 0.133 (95% CI=0.078-0.198). The chain mediating effect size of mind wandering and self-control was 0.069 (95% CI=0.040-0.104). Conclusion:Stress perception can indirectly affect the problematic short video use through the complete chain mediation of mind wandering and self-control.
