Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) significantly impact clinical medication safety. The timely identification and prediction of ADRs rely on the efficient analysis of real-world data, such as electronic health records, social media, and spontaneous reporting databases. In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, particularly large language models, in natural language processing, causal reasoning, and complex data mining has provided new technological means for real-time ADRs monitoring and individualized prediction. This paper summarizes the latest research achievements in AI-driven ADRs monitoring. Focusing on diverse data sources, including structured databases and electronic health records, it elaborates on the advantages andchallenges of AI in ADRs event extraction, relationship identification, causal analysis, and risk prediction. The aim is to provide a theoretical reference for constructing more intelligent and efficient ADRs monitoring systems.

Studies have suggested that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is implicated in the pathophysiology of major depression; however, the regulatory strategy that targets the NAc to achieve an exclusive and outstanding anti-depression benefit has not been elucidated. Here, we identified a specific reduction of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the subset of dopamine D1 receptor medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs) in the NAc that promoted stress susceptibility, while the stimulation of cAMP production in NAc D1-MSNs efficiently rescued depression-like behaviors. Ketamine treatment enhanced cAMP both in D1-MSNs and dopamine D2 receptor medium spiny neurons (D2-MSNs) of depressed mice, however, the rapid antidepressant effect of ketamine solely depended on elevating cAMP in NAc D1-MSNs. We discovered that a higher dose of crocin markedly increased cAMP in the NAc and consistently relieved depression 24 h after oral administration, but not a lower dose. The fast onset property of crocin was verified through multicenter studies. Moreover, crocin specifically targeted at D1-MSN cAMP signaling in the NAc to relieve depression and had no effect on D2-MSN. These findings characterize a new strategy to achieve an exclusive and outstanding anti-depression benefit by elevating cAMP in D1-MSNs in the NAc, and provide a potential rapid antidepressant drug candidate, crocin.

Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis is one of the common rheumatic and immune diseases in children. It has a sudden onset, obvious systemic symptoms, and lung involvement. However, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis with an early manifestation of pulmonary ground-glass opacities combined with macrophage activation syndrome is rare. The clinical data of a child with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis with pulmonary ground-glass shadow and macrophage activation syndrome who was admitted to Hubei Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively in order to improve the understanding of rheumatic diseases and pulmonary lesions. The child was admitted to the hospital for 10 days due to rash and fever. Thoracic CT showed scattered ground glass like shadows in both lungs due to the prevention and control screening of COVID-19 pneumonia epidemic situation. After admission, the child was still repeatedly flaccid with high fever, accompanied by dysfunction of both lower limbs. The knee joint MRI found that there was synovitis in the knee joint, and various laboratory indicators suggested macrophage activation syndrome. After that, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis was diagnosed. After being treated with methylprednisolone, cyclosporine and topzumab, the clinical remission and the ground-glass shadow of the lung basically disappeared. Through the analysis of this case, it is suggested that clinicians should not ignore other diseases that cause ground glass shadow in the lung during the current epidemic of COVID-19.

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive technique to measure heart rate at a lower cost, and it has been recently widely used in smart wearable devices. However, as PPG is easily affected by noises under high-intensity movement, the measured heart rate in sports has low precision. To tackle the problem, this paper proposed a heart rate extraction algorithm based on self-adaptive heart rate separation model. The algorithm firstly preprocessed acceleration and PPG signals, from which cadence and heart rate history were extracted respectively. A self-adaptive model was made based on the connection between the extracted information and current heart rate, and to output possible domain of the heart rate accordingly. The algorithm proposed in this article removed the interference from strong noises by narrowing the domain of real heart rate. From experimental results on the PPG dataset used in 2015 IEEE Signal Processing Cup, the average absolute error on 12 training sets was 1.12 beat per minute (bpm) (Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.996; consistency error: -0.184 bpm). The average absolute error on 10 testing sets was 3.19 bpm (Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.990; consistency error: 1.327 bpm). From experimental results, the algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively extract heart rate information under noises and has the potential to be put in usage in smart wearable devices.

Objective To compare the effect of whether rotator cuff pathological tissue cleaning and tendon insertion reconstruction or not under shoulder arthroscopy on the surgical treatment of rotator cuff tendinopathy. Methods From September 2015 to January 2017,the clinical data of forty-one patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy treated by surgical medicine ward in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to different surgical methods,41 patients were divided into A group and B group. In group A,21 patients were treated with shoulder arthroscopic bursa debridement combined with selective acromioplasty. In group B,20 patients were treated with cleanup of pathological changes tissue and reconstruction of tendon insertion on the basis of A. All patients were followed up for one year. Constant-Murley shoulder function score,visual analog scale (VAS),University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and Hawkins sign,arc of pain sign and infraspinatus muscle test were used as the evaluation indexes. The shoulder joint function was evaluated so as to compare the efficacy of two surgical methods for rotator cuff disease. Results Compared with the preoperative,the postoperative VAS score,UCLA score and Constant-Murley score in both groups were significantly improved. In group A,the preoperative in group A (5. 0±1. 3) points,(15.5±1.4) points,(65.1±5.7) points) were increased to (0.7±0.4) points,(33.0±1.7) points,(90. 9±3. 1) points. The preoperative scores of group B were (5. 2±1. 0)points,(15. 6±2. 0) points, (65. 4±5. 9) points, and increased to ( 0. 4 ± 0. 5) points, ( 34. 3 ± 0. 9) points, ( 93. 3 ± 2. 3) points respectively,and the differences were statistically significant (group A: t=14. 77,P<0. 001; t=- 74. 44,P<0. 001; t=- 29. 19,P<0. 001; group B: t=23. 13,P<0. 001; t=- 61. 52,P<0. 001; t=- 26. 38,P<0. 001). The UCLA score and Constant-Murley score of shoulder joint in group B were higher than those in group A (t=-3. 27,P=0. 003; t=-2. 90,P=0. 007). Postoperative positive rates of Hawkins sign,pain arc sign and infraspinatus muscle test in group A decreased from 90%(18/20),90%(18/20),95%(19/20) to 15%( 3/20),10%( 2/20) and 15%( 3/20) respectively. There was a significant difference between preoperative and postoperative (χ2=13. 067,P<0. 001) . χ2=14. 063,P<0. 001; χ2=14. 063,P<0. 001), group B decreased from 90. 5%( 19/21), 85. 6%( 18/21), 90. 5%( 19/21) to 9. 5%( 2/21), 4. 8%(1/21),9.5%(2/21).There were significant differences between preoperative and postoperative (χ2=15. 059,P<0. 001;χ2=12. 500,P<0. 001;χ2=15. 059,P<0. 001) . Conclusion Both group A and group B are effective in the treatment of rotator cuff tendon disease,and group B is more effective than group A in the treatment of rotator cuff tendon disease.
