Lung cancer， with persistently high incidence and mortality rates， remains a significant global health challenge. By taking the study on the experience in diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis syndrome by distinguished traditional Chinese medicine physicians of the Sichuan School as an example， the diagnosis and treatment system for lung cancer with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis syndrome， which was formed in response to the humid and foggy environment of the Sichuan Basin， possesses unique value. However， traditional inheritance modes face challenges such as fragmentation， lack of standardization， and insufficient quantification， which hinder the promotion and application of this experience. This research focused on how to leverage multimodal data and artificial intelligence-generated content （AIGC） to achieve precise analysis， intelligent inheritance， and clinical innovation of the experience in diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis syndrome by distinguished traditional Chinese medicine physicians of the Sichuan School. By integrating multimodal data （encompassing four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine， modern medical imaging， clinical laboratory tests， molecular biology， and regional environmental information）， a precise diagnosis and treatment system integrating macro and micro perspectives for the "disease， syndrome， and pathogenesis" was constructed. The research yielded the following results： （1） In precise syndrome differentiation， the objective quantification of the phlegm-dampness and blood stasis syndrome was achieved. By constructing a "four diagnostic methods， imaging， and molecule" correlation model， the study revealed intrinsic links between tongue and pulse parameters and the tumor microenvironment， as well as between regional climatic factors and syndrome characteristics， enabling real-time dynamic monitoring of efficacy. （2） In elucidating patterns， the study systematically explored the syndrome differentiation thoughts of Sichuan School physicians， such as the timing of purgation and tonification. A "pathogenesis， syndrome complex， and prescriptions and herb" network model was constructed， which accurately elucidated the synergistic action mechanisms of core herb pairs and quantified the dynamic compatibility patterns of reinforcing healthy Qi and eliminating pathogenic factors. （3） In intelligent empowerment， an auxiliary system integrating intelligent syndrome differentiation， treatment plan generation， and efficacy evaluation was built. This system can fuse regional characteristics with individual data， dynamically generate and optimize personalized prescriptions aligned with the experience of Sichuan School， and predict efficacy trends and potential adverse reactions. The integration of multimodal data and AIGC can effectively facilitate the structured inheritance and clinical translation of distinguished physicians' experience. The established intelligent diagnosis and treatment model integrating traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine demonstrates clear potential in prolonging patients' progression-free survival， alleviating symptoms， and reducing adverse reactions to treatment. This study provides a referential methodological framework for the traditional Chinese medicine experience in diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer， especially the empirical inheritance and modernized development of regional academic schools. It contributes to advancing clinical diagnosis and treatment toward greater precision and personalization.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of assistive device use and unmet needs among persons with disabilities in Sichuan-Chongqing region, and to identify the key factors associated with satisfaction with these devices. MethodsFrom October, 2024 to February, 2025, quota sampling was adopted to recruit 1 040 persons with disabilities in Sichuan and 260 persons with disabilities in Chongqing. Telephone and online questionnaires were used to collect data on demographic characteristics, status of assistive device utilization and unmet assistive device needs, as well as satisfaction with assistive device use. Correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis and structural equation modeling were performed to identify key factors associated with satisfaction. ResultsA total of 1 186 valid responses were collected, of which 942 were from Sichuan Province and 244 from Chongqing Municipality. The utilization rate of assistive devices among persons with disabilities in Sichuan-Chongqing region was 61.9%, and the rate of unmet assistive device needs was 30.6%. The assistive device utilization rate of participants with agricultural household registration (57.98%) was lower than that of participants with non-agricultural household registration (66.86%). The utilization rate showed a J-shaped upward trend with the increase of educational attainment. Educational attainment (P = 0.002), perceived usefulness of assistive devices (P < 0.001), home living environment (P < 0.001), public environment (P < 0.001) and disability type (significant differences were found in visual and hearing disabilities compared with physical disability, P < 0.05) were key predictors of satisfaction with assistive device use. The impact of public environment on satisfaction was exerted through two indirect mediating paths: mediating effect via perceived usefulness of assistive devices (ind₁ = 0.357, 95%CI 0.279 to 0.437, P < 0.001), contributing approximately 70% of the total indirect effect; mediating effect via home living environment (ind₂ = 0.129, 95%CI 0.006 to 0.242, P = 0.038), contributing approximately 25% of the total indirect effect. ConclusionThere is a structural imbalance between assistive device use and demand in Sichuan-Chongqing region. People with psycho-intellectual disabilities are most likely to be excluded from the service chain because they neither perceive need nor access information. Education exerts a robust positive effect on both adoption and satisfaction, so training content must be tailored to different educational levels. Satisfaction is shaped by disability type, device usefulness and environmental factors. Future product development should therefore integrate functional and psychosocial dimensions. Priority should be given to micro-scale home-and-community accessibility retrofits before extending upward to public transportation and employment settings, to maximize the cost-effectiveness of limited funds.

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum levels of neurofilament light chain protein(NFL)and chemerin with cerebral ischemia after interventional therapy in elderly patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms.Methods A total of 258 patients with unruptured in-tracranial aneurysms undergoing stent-assisted coil embolization in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 were enrolled.They were divided into a cerebral ischemia group(52 cases)and a non-cerebral ischemia group(206 cases).The serum NFL and chemerin levels were detected.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the risk factors for cerebral is-chemia in the patients after interventional surgery.Results The cerebral ischemia group had sig-nificantly higher ratio of implantation of 3 stents,larger diameter of aneurysms,increased levels of NFL and chemerin before operation,10 min from the start of operation and 24 h after operation,and longer operation time than the non-cerebral ischemia group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Larger aneu-rysm diameter,longer operation time,and higher NFL and chemerin levels were the risk factors for cerebral ischemia in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm after interventional sur-gery(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The AUC value of aneurysm diameter,operation time,NFL and chemerin,and combination of these indicators in predicting cerebral ischemia in patients with un-ruptured intracranial aneurysm after interventional surgery was 0.772,0.794,0.826,0.837,and 0.920,respectively,with that of the combination higher than that of each indicator alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion For the elderly patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms,the increases of serum NFL and chemerin levels are associated with cerebral ischemia after stent-assisted coil embolization,which can predict the risk of cerebral ischemia after interventional therapy.

Objective:To explore the current implementation status and challenges of family doctor contract services (FDCS) from the perspective of contracted residents.Methods:This qualitative study used purposive sampling to select contracted residents from 11 primary healthcare institutions across five cities in China. Semi-structured interviews were conducted from March to December 2024, covering topics such as awareness of contracting, service experience, health needs, service continuity, and policy recommendations. Thematic framework analysis was applied to organize, code, and summarize the data.Results:A total of 25 contracted residents were interviewed (6 men, 19 women; 11 from central urban areas, 14 from suburban or rural towns; 8 with chronic diseases). Three main themes and ten sub-themes emerged: Theme Ⅰ: Pathways to improved service accessibility (optimized chronic disease management, more efficient referrals, and improved health education). Theme Ⅱ: Structural misalignment between supply and demand (limited specialty services despite patient needs, insufficient coverage and public awareness of home-based medical care, imbalanced human resources, and service disruption due to clinician turnover). Theme Ⅲ: Challenges in service awareness and communication mechanisms (information asymmetry and public misperception regarding FDCS, perverse incentives in administrative performance evaluation, and communication barriers in building patient-doctor trust).Conclusions:While FDCS has shown progress in chronic disease management, referral coordination, and health education, structural supply-demand gaps and communication challenges continue to hinder service quality. Improvements in resource allocation and service models are needed to support high-quality development.

BACKGROUND:Formononetin demonstrates potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant abilities.However,its protective effect on nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells is not yet clear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and mechanism of formononetin on nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells under an inflammatory microenvironment.METHODS:(1)Primary nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the intervertebral discs of SD rats,and flow cytometry was performed to identify the surface markers of mesenchymal stem cells.(2)The CCK-8 assay was employed to evaluate the impact of lipopolysaccharide and formononetin on the proliferation viability of nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells,aiming to determine the appropriate concentration of formononetin for subsequent cell treatments.(3)An inflammatory microenvironment was simulated by adding 5 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide to the DMEM/F-12 culture medium,and nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells were treated with different concentrations of formononetin for 24 hours.Levels of inflammation markers were detected using western blot assay,real-time quantitative PCR,and immunofluorescence.Western blot assay was conducted to measure the protein levels of the nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells cultured in adherent wall were shuttle-shaped with good growth status.The results of flow cytometry showed that the surface markers of mesenchymal stem cells were positive for CD29,CD44,and CD90,and the surface markers of hematopoietic stem cells were negative for CD34 and CD45.(2)The treatment with formononetin at 12.5,25,50,100,and 200 μmol/L concentrations for 24 hours had no significant proliferation inhibitory effect on nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the cell viability of nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells treated with 12.5,25,and 50 μmol/L formononetin for 24 hours was significantly increased,so formononetin at 12.5,25,and 50 μmol/L concentrations was subsequently selected as the low,medium,and high concentrations for treating nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells.(3)Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the protein and mRNA expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-3,matrix metalloproteinase-13,and tumor necrosis factor-α in nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells in the low,medium,and high concentrations of formononetin groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.(4)Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the expressions of phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa B and phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa B inhibitor protein in nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells in the low,medium,and high concentrations of formononetin groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.The above results suggest that formononetin may attenuate lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in rat nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells by inhibiting the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the differences in early clinical features between Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS) and septic shock (SS).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Clinical data was collected from 64 children who were diagnosed with KDSS or SS and admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Capital Center for Children′s Health, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to February 2025. Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, or Fisher′s exact test were used to compare the differences in clinical features, treatment, and outcomes between children with KDSS and SS. Lasso regression was applied to screen predictive variables, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with KDSS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of parameters for KDSS. Results:Among the 64 children (30 males and 34 females), the age was 3.6 (1.2, 6.5) years. There were 51 cases in the SS group and 13 cases in the KDSS group. Compared to children with SS, children with KDSS had a longer pre-shock fever duration, lower lactate levels and serum albumin levels, and higher soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels (all P<0.05). Additionally, they exhibited a higher incidence of coronary involvement, pericardial effusion, and ascites, a higher utilization rate of intravenous immunoglobulin, and a lower utilization rate of invasive mechanical ventilation (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between KDSS and SS ( P=0.574). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R as independent factors associated with KDSS ( OR=1.52 and 1.54 per 1 000 U increase, 95% CI 1.12-2.05 and 1.06-2.24, respectively; both P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R in identifying KDSS were 0.83 (95% CI 0.73-0.94, P=0.001) and 0.70 (95% CI 0.53-0.87, P=0.042), respectively. The optimal cutoff values were 3.5 d and 3.8×10 6 U/L, with sensitivities of 0.91 and 0.82, and specificities of 0.71 and 0.62, respectively. Conclusions:Children with KDSS have higher incidences of coronary involvement, pericardial effusion, and ascites compared to those with SS. Pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R may serve as potential early indicators for distinguishing KDSS from SS.

Objective:To investigate the surgical effect of total parathyroidectomy combined with calf subcutaneous autotransplantation in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism.Method:From Dec 2018 to Dec 2022,31 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent total parathyroidectomy combined with calf subcutaneous autotransplantation in our hospital were selected to analyze the therapeutic effect.Results:All 31 operations were successfully completed.A total of 120 parathyroid glands were removed,including 27 cases(87.10%)with 4 parathyroid glands and 4 cases(12.90%)with 3 parathyroid glands.The average length of hospitalization was(15.82±8.74)days.Compared with preoperative parathyroid hormone,the value of parathyroid hormone decreased by more than 50%after 20 min of total parathyroidectomy.The levels of serum calcium,phosphorus,iPTH and calcium-phosphorus product at each time point after operation were significantly lower than those before operation(P＜0.01).The symptoms of joint pain was significantly improved in all patients after operation.During the postoperative follow-up of 31 patients,1 patient was confirmed to have graft recurrence at 6 months after operation,which was surgically removed.Conclusion:Total parathyroidectomy combined with calf subcutaneous autotransplantation can effectively treat secondary hyperparathyroidism and significantly improve the quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the value of targeted three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound（3D-tCEUS）in efficacy evaluation of non-surgical treatments for renal cell carcinoma（RCC）.Methods:Forty nude mice with subcutaneous xenograft tumor model of human RCC（786-O cells）were divided into four groups based on different treatment methods：control，thermal ablation（TA），sunitinib（Suni），and TA+Suni. 3D-tCEUS were performed on days 1，3，7，and 14 post-treatment using self-developed vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2（VEGFR2）targeted microbubbles. Tumor overall volume（V T）and non-enhanced volume（V N）were measured，from which the volume of the active（enhanced）region was calculated as V A = V T - V N. The tumor total and active area volume was standardized as V T st and V A st（standardized tumor volume = tumor volume after treatment / tumor volume at the beginning of treatment）. Tumor growth curves were plotted and tumor inhibition rates calculated for V T and V A respectively. Quantitative parameters，including the area under the curve（AUC）and the difference in peak intensity before and after burst（dTE），were obtained from the viable tumor enhanced region，and the standardized targeted quantitative parameters were derived by calculating the ratios of parameters at various time points post-treatment to those pre-treatment. The differences in V T st，V A st，AUC and dTE between different treatment groups at different time points were compared. At the end of the experiment，tumor tissues were obtained for immunohistochemical staining to observe the expression of VEGFR2 and CD31 antigens. Results:During the treatment period，no statistically significant differences in weight changes were observed among groups（all P > 0.05）. When V T was taken as the research object，V T st increased across all groups during the treatment period，with the TA group showing the most significant growth，while the TA + Suni group exhibited the smoothest increase in growth curve. When analyzing the tumor enhanced region，tumor growth trend of V A st was different with V T st for all groups；the Suni group showed a slow upward trend，whereas the TA + Suni group showed a continuous decline. Significant differences in tumor inhibition rate originated from V T and V A were noted within the same experimental group（ P < 0.05 for all experimental groups）. One day post-treatment，the AUC and dTE of the TA group were higher than that of the Control group，while the dTE of the TA + Suni group was lower than that of the Control group（all P < 0.05）. By day 3，statistically significant differences in AUC and dTE were observed between each experimental group and Control groups（all P < 0.05）. At day 14，the TA group showed increased AUC and dTE compared with those before treatment，while all other groups，particularly Suni group and TA + Suni group，demonstrated significant reductions（all P < 0.05）. Immunohistochemical results revealed the highest VEGFR2 and CD31 positivity in the TA group，followed by the Control group，while the Suni and TA + Suni groups exhibited lower rates. Conclusions:The combination of TA and targeted therapy effectively induces RCC cells death，demonstrating superior efficacy compared to monotherapy. 3D-tCEUS serves as a accurate and reliable tool for early evaluating the efficacy of non-surgical RCC treatments.

Objective:To explore the potential types of body image disorders in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to analyze the influencing factors of each category, so as to provide a basis for clinical formulation of targeted intervention programs.Methods:A total of 275 patients with PCOS who visited the outpatient clinic of the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Fenyang Hospital of Shanxi Province from April 2023 to April 2024 were selected by convenience sampling, and the general information questionnaires, Body Image Scale, Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3, and Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. The potential profile analysis of body image disorders in PCOS patients was carried out, and the influencing factors of different categories were explored by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 260 patients with PCOS were surveyed in this study, and 113 patients (43.5%) were aged 25-35 years old. The score of the Body Image Scale for PCOS patients was 11.00 (7.25, 14.00) points, the score of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 was (44.80 ± 4.65) points, and the score of Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve was (5.80 ± 1.43) points. PCOS patients were divided into three potential categories: low body image impairment group (37.3%, 97/260), intermediate body image level-high cognitive impairment group (38.1%, 99/260), and high body image impairment group (24.6%, 64/260). Body mass index, acne, alopecia, reproductive history, course of disease, whether medical staff have carried out detailed education, social media attention and internalization, and family care were the influencing factors of potential types of body image disorders in PCOS patients ( OR values were 0.339-19.099, all P<0.05). Conclusions:There is obvious group heterogeneity in patients with PCOS body image disorders, and medical staff should formulate targeted interventions according to the characteristics and influencing factors of each category to improve patients′ lifestyle, reduce the level of body image disorders.
