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.

Objective:To clarify the changes of intrahepatic ultrasound hemodynamics before and after hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) after liver transplantation (LT), providing early warning and anticoagulation guidance to clinicians.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent liver transplantation at Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between June 2006 and October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, 47 patients with a diagnosis of HAT confirmed by DSA (digital subtraction angiography) were included in the HAT group, and 71 patients without vascular complications were included in the non-HAT group. Differences in peak flow velocity (PSV), resistance index (RI), and portal vein velocity (PVV) were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between postoperative PSV decline and HAT occurrence, while ROC curve were used to determine the critical value and evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. Patients with HAT were divided into well-treatment group and poor-treatment group according to whether the blood flow was restored after multiple surgeries or thrombolytic treatments. The changes of early intrahepatic hemodynamics after surgical or thrombolytic therapy were compared between the two groups.Results:①A decrease in PSV of the transplanted hepatic artery was measured 1 d before HAT, and PSV<0.39 m/s predicted thrombus formation with a sensitivity of 0.70, specificity of 0.86, and the AUC was 0.83. ②After treatment, PSV in the HAT group increased immediately, approaching the normal level on the 2nd day. In the well-treatment group, PSV and PVV reached normal levels on the first day after treatment, which were significantly higher than the corresponding values in the poor-treatment group ( P=0.030, 0.021). Conclusions:In the early stage after liver transplantation, a PSV<0.39 m/s is related to the occurrence of HAT thrombosis 1 d later. A significant increase in PSV on the first day after treatment indicates a good treatment response, and there is no need for further DSA re-examination or increasing the number of thrombolysis.

This paper summarized Professor ZHANG Zhiwen's clinical experience in treating pulmonary nodules. Professor ZHANG proposed that the pathogenesis of pulmonary nodules is impairment of qi and body fluid distribution, sweating pores constraint and block, binding of phlegm and stasis, and long-term accumulation transforming into toxin, with abnormal circulation of qi, blood and body fluid as the root, and phlegm, stasis and toxin as the branch. According to the evolution of pathogenesis, a dynamic diagnosis and treatment idea of "regulating qi and body fluid, opening sweating pores, penetrating kenang (窠囊), and preventing cancer toxins" is proposed, including the methods of regulating qi and body fluid, and calming the five zang (脏) organs with the modified self-prescribed Tiaoqi Huatan Decoction (调气化痰汤), opening sweating pores and unblocking qi and blood with the modified self-prescribed Kaixuan Tongyu Decoction (开玄通郁汤), penetrating kenang and dissipating masses and stagnation with the modified self-prescribed Tounang Sanjie Decoction (透囊散结汤), rectifying the healthy qi and preventing cancer toxins with the modified self-prescribed Shenqi Fuzheng Jiedu Decoction (参芪扶正解毒汤). These four methods can be used alone, in combination, or in sequence, and can provide ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules with traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and effect of remote medical education model using online film reading training to improve the ability of ophthalmologists in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as "Xinjiang Region" ) in diagnosing fundus diseases.Methods:The three-level film reading training system of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps system division hospital-Corps Hospital-Peking Union Medical College Hospital was established. From June 2022 to January 2023, 4 159 posterior color fundus images were continuously collected from Department of Ophthalmology of Xinjiang Corps Hospital and 4 divisional hospitals in the Corps medical system. Among them, hypertensive retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), atrophic AMD and retinal vein occlusion were 3 073, 651, 43, 186 and 206 cases, respectively. The images were divided into 3 rounds (first, second and last) according to the proportion of diseases. The doctors who participated in the training (hereinafter referred to as the "training") were 15 ophthalmologists from the Corps Hospital of Xinjiang Region and the division hospital of the Corps system. There were 7 male and 8 female. Age was (38.1±4.0) years. The titles of senior, deputy senior, intermediate and junior are 1, 6, 5 and 3 respectively; Bachelor's degree and master's degree are 13 and 2 respectively. The working time of fundus disease specialty was (9.6±3.3) years. The film reading system training was conducted before the first round of labeling, and after each round of film reading, the doctors of Peking Union Medical College Hospital gave feedback and explanation on the film reading results. The diagnostic consistency, sensitivity and specificity were compared by paired sample t test. Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis was conducted between the improvement of diagnostic level and professional title, education, age and working hours of ocular fundus disease. Results:All the participating doctors completed the first, second and last reading. After each round of film reading, the film reading summary was carried out for 2 hours. The average diagnostic agreement rates of participating physicians were 53.0%, 67.0% and 75.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 0.38, 0.69, 054 and 0.66, 0.85, 0.96, respectively. There was significant difference between the first and last examination ( P<0.001). The sensitivity of the second reading was significantly higher than that of the first reading, and the sensitivity of the last reading was significantly lower than that of the second reading, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The specificity of the second reading was significantly higher than that of the first reading, and the last reading was significantly higher than that of the second reading, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). There was no significant correlation ( P>0.05) between the improvement of diagnostic level of participating physicians and educational background ( Rho=0.07), professional title ( Rho=0.13), age ( r=0.20), and working time of ophthalmofundus disease specialty ( r=0.26). Conclusions:Relying on the three-level online telemedicine training, it can improve the ability of ophthalmologists in Xinjiang region to diagnose fundus diseases. The preliminary telemedicine education model has demonstrated potential for feasibility and effectiveness in remote areas with inadequate medical resources.

Objective:To analyze the disease burden of Parkinson's disease (PD) in China from 1990 to 2021 and predict the disease burden of PD from 2022 to 2030.Methods:Based on the data of PD incidence in China from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), changes in PD disease burden from 1990 to 2021 were analyzed. Age-period-cohort model was used to analyze the independent influences of age, period and cohort in PD incidence (according to age group of 5 years, patients were divided into 15 groups: group of 20-24 years, group of 25-29 years..., and group of 90-94 years; according to a 5-year period, patients were divided into 6 groups: group of 1992-1996, group of 1997-2001..., and group of 2017-2021; because of birth cohort=period-age, patients were divided into 20 birth cohorts: birth cohort of 1897-1906, birth cohort of 1902-1911..., and birth cohort of 1992-2001). Nordpred model was used to predict the disease burden of PD from 2022 to 2030.Results:(1) From 1990 to 2021, number of PD patients, and PD incidence and standardized incidence in China showed upward trends. The standardized incidence increased by 89.68% for the total population, 89.71% for males, and 77.64% for females. (2) PD incidence was low in young subjects and increased obviously in subjects aged 60 years. PD incidence in subjects aged 20-24 years or 90-94 years was 0.07/100 000 and 643.31/100 000, respectively. Compared with female subjects, male subjects aged 60-94 years had higher PD incidence. (3) The onset relative risk increased from 0.71 (95% CI: 0.69-0.73) in group of 1992-1996 to 1.17 (95% CI: 1.16-1.19) in group of 2017-2021 in the total population, increased from 0.68 (95% CI: 0.66-0.70) to 1.18 (95% CI: 1.16-1.21) in males, and increased from 0.75 (95% CI: 0.73-0.77) to 1.14 (95% CI: 1.12-1.16) in females. (4) Onset relative risk was 0.40 (95% CI: 0.33-0.48) in the earliest birth cohort (1897-1906), which increased to 1.81 (95% CI: 0.95-3.43) in the latest birth cohort (1992-2001). (5) Number of PD patients in males, females and total population in China would increase to 455 010, 301 173 and 756 183, respectively, and the standardized incidence would increase to 56.45/100 000, 32.28/100 000 and 43.40/100 000, respectively, till 2030. Conclusion:PD disease burden in China from 1990 to 2021 is severe, particularly among males and the elderly; the disease burden is projected to continue rising up till 2030.
