Objective To construct large medical model named by "Huaxi HongYi"and explore its application effectiveness in assisting medical record generation. Methods By the way of a full-chain medical large model construction paradigm of "data annotation - model training - scenario incubation", through strategies such as multimodal data fusion, domain adaptation training, and localization of hardware adaptation, "Huaxi HongYi" with 72 billion parameters was constructed. Combined with technologies such as speech recognition, knowledge graphs, and reinforcement learning, an application system for assisting in the generation of medical records was developed. Results Taking the assisted generation of discharge records as an example, in the pilot department, after using the application system, the average completion times of writing a medical records shortened (21 min vs. 5 min) with efficiency increased by 3.2 time, the accuracy rate of the model output reached 92.4%. Conclusion It is feasible for medical institutions to build independently controllable medical large models and incubate various applications based on these models, providing a reference pathway for artificial intelligence development in similar institutions.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the anti-photoaging properties of salvianolic acid B (Sal B). METHODS: The optimal photoaging model of human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) were constructed by expose to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. The cells were divided into control, model and different concentrations of Sal B groups. Cell viability was measured via cell counting kit-8. Subsequently, the levels of oxidative stress, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydroxyproline (Hyp), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were detected using the relevant kits. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) protein level was detected using Western blot. The binding pattern of Sal B and SIRT1 was determined via molecular docking. RESULTS: Sal B significantly increased the viability of UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Sal B effectively scavenged the accumulation of ROS induced by UVB (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In addition, Sal B modulated oxidative stress by increasing the intracellular concentrations of Hyp and CAT and the activity of GSH-Px (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The Western blot results revealed a substantial increase in SIRT1 protein levels following Sal B administration (P<0.05). Moreover, Sal B exhibited good binding affinity toward SIRT1, with a docking energy of -7.5 kCal/mol. CONCLUSION Sal B could improve the repair of photodamaged cells by alleviating cellular oxidative stress and regulating the expression of SIRT1 protein.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy, and its occurrence in the penis is even rarer. This paper reports a case of primary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the penis. The patient was admitted to the hospital with a mass on the glans penis with ulceration, and underwent partial penectomy, and the postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma. One month after surgery, lower abdominal ultrasound and MRI showed abnormal enlargement of bilateral inguinal area and pelvic lymph nodes, respectively. PET/CT scan showed multiple lymph node metastases in retroperitoneum, pelvis, and inguinal area. The patient was recommended chemotherapy, which was refused by the patient and his family. At 9-month postoperative follow-up, there was no recurrence of the penile stump and no deterioration of the condition.

Objective:To explore the genotypes and clinical phenotypes of three families with Liddle Syndrome(LS).Methods:In this study, three young patients with hypertension and hypokalemia were confirmed LS through second-generation sequencing genetic testing. Members of the three families were screened for genes, and genotypes and clinical phenotypes were analyzed.Results:This study identified three patients in Family 1 carrying a possible pathogenic heterozygous variant c. 1859A>G(p.Y620C) in the SCNN1B gene(sodium channel epithelia 1β subunit). Five patients in family 2 and family 3 carried the pathogenic heterozygous variant c. 1789dup(p.R597Pfs*11) in the SCNN1B gene. Following three months of treatment with salt restriction and triamterene, blood pressure and potassium levels returned to normal in all eight patients.Conclusion:LS patients typically present clinically with early-onset hypertension accompanied by hypokalemia, but there is clinical heterogeneity. It is recommended to conduct genetic testing on suspected patients as early as possible to confirm the diagnosis and initiate timely treatment with effective medications so as to reduce the complications of target organs.

Adrenocortical carcinoma(ACC)is the most prevalent malignant tumor of the adrenal gland and is characterized by a poor pro-gnosis in its advanced stages.Surgical resection of the tumors is typically limited to patients diagnosed in the clinical stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ,lead-ing to a high postoperative recurrence rate.The combination of mitotane(M)with etoposide(E),doxorubicin(D),and cisplatin(P)(EDP-M)is currently the only approved first-line treatment regimen for advanced ACC.However,the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in ACC remains limited.If the EDP-M regimen proves ineffective,there are no standardized or universally accepted second-line systemic treat-ment alternatives.Research advancements in the molecular mechanisms of ACC in recent years has led to increasing investigations on tyr-osine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)targeting EGFR,VEGFR,and mTOR,as well as immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs).Moreover,previous studies have identified mutations in CTNBB1,TP53,KDM5A,CENP-H,and other genes that may serve as therapeutic targets or biomarkers,thereby expanding the treatment options available for ACC.ICIs are effective against diverse cancer types,including non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),liver cancer,renal cell cancer,and urothelial cancer.Ongoing exploration into targeted therapies and immunotherapy,especially combination treatments,holds the promise of extending the survival of patients and enhancing their quality of life.

Objective: To explore the heterogeneity and correlation of clinical phenotypes and genotypes in children with disorders of sex development (DSD). Methods: A retrospective study of 1 235 patients with clinically proposed DSD in 36 pediatric medical institutions across the country from January 2017 to May 2021. After capturing 277 DSD-related candidate genes, second-generation sequencing was performed to analyzed the heterogeneity and correlation combined with clinical phenotypes. Results: Among 1 235 children with clinically proposed DSD, 980 were males and 255 were females of social gender at the time of initial diagnosis with the age ranged from 1 day of age to 17.92 years. A total of 443 children with pathogenic variants were detected through molecular genetic studies, with a positive detection rate of 35.9%. The most common clinical phenotypes were micropenis (455 cases), hypospadias (321 cases), and cryptorchidism (172 cases) and common mutations detected were in SRD5A2 gene (80 cases), AR gene (53 cases) and CYP21A2 gene (44 cases). Among them, the SRD5A2 mutation is the most common in children with simple micropenis and simple hypospadias, while the AMH mutation is the most common in children with simple cryptorchidism. Conclusions: The SRD5A2 mutation is the most common genetic variant in Chinese children with DSD, and micropenis, cryptorchidism, and hypospadias are the most common clinical phenotypes. Molecular diagnosis can provide clues about the biological basis of DSD, and can also guide clinicians to perform specific clinical examinations. Target sequence capture probes and next-generation sequencing technology can provide effective and economical genetic diagnosis for children with DSD.
