The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially generative AI (GenAI), has already brought, and will continue to bring, revolutionary changes to our daily production and life, as well as create new opportunities and challenges for diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the medical field. Haihe Hospital of Tianjin University collaborates with the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin, Tianjin University, and other institutions to carry out research in areas such as smart healthcare, smart services, and smart management. We have conducted research and development of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system based on GenAI in the field of smart healthcare. The development of this project is of great significance. The first goal is to upgrade and transform the hospital's information center, organically integrate it with existing information systems, and provide the necessary computing power storage support for intelligent services within the hospital. We have implemented the localized deployment of three models: Tianhe "Tianyuan", WiNGPT, and DeepSeek. The second is to create a digital avatar of the chief physician/chief physician's voice and image by integrating multimodal intelligent interaction technology. With generative intelligence as the core, this solution provides patients with a visual medical interaction solution. The third is to achieve deep adaptation between generative intelligence and the entire process of patient medical treatment. In this project, we have developed assistant tools such as intelligent inquiry, intelligent diagnosis and recognition, intelligent treatment plan generation, and intelligent assisted medical record generation to improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of the diagnosis and treatment process. This study introduces the content of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system, aiming to provide references and insights for the digital transformation of the healthcare industry.

Cholesterol,as an important component of cell membranes,plays a multifaceted role in mediating tumor immunomodulation and drug intervention.In case of cholesterol metabolic imbalance,the accumulation of cholesterol metabolic intermediates,the changes in concentrations,and the regulation of related signaling pathways can affect tumor immunity by promoting inflammation and inhibiting immune cell function.Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that controlling cholesterol metabolism can inhibit tumor growth,re-shape body immune regulation,and enhance antitumor immunity.A deep understanding of the association between immune cells and cholesterol metabolic pathways in the tumor microenvironment can help to develop novel drugs targeting cholesterol metabolism.This article reviews the multifaceted role of cholesterol and its derived metabolites in the tumor microenvironment by regulating various types of immune cells such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells,tumor-associated macrophages,dendritic cells,and T-lymphocytes,as well as the characteristics of tumor immunomodulation mediated by cholesterol metabolism and the advances in pharmaceutical re-search on improving the immune function of the body by intervening against cholesterol,in order to further provide new ideas and a thera-peutic basis for cholesterol modulation and intervention in tumor im-munotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), clinicopathologic features, immunohistochemical expression and molecular characteristics in fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient renal cell carcinoma and to explore the potential application of immunotherapy in the patients.Methods:There were six patients with FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University between January 2020 and October 2022. The clinical data, histological morphology, immunophenotype, PD-L1 expression and next-generation sequencing results were tabulated and analyzed.Results:There were 6 patients, all male, age ranged from 37 to 72 years (mean 45.7 years). Four cases were high-grade (WHO/ISUP grade3-4) with 2 or more histologic patterns, including papillary (most common), glandular, tubular, vesicular, ethmoid, nest-like, cystic and solid structures. Two cases were low-grade which showed nest-like, glandular, or tubular arrangement with eosinophilic flocculent cytoplasm and small intracellular vacuoles. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed strong expression of 2SC in all 6 cases, negative expression of FH in 5 cases, and positive expression of GATA3 in 5 cases. In high-grade cases, the mean values of CD4 and CD8 positive T-lymphocytes in advanced tumor invasion were 180.3/mm 2 and 130.5/mm 2, respectively. PD-L1 combined positive scores (CPS) were 20, 50, 5 and 30, respectively. The Ki-67 proliferative index were 20%, 20%, 10% and 30%, respectively. In low-grade cases, the mean values of CD4 and CD8 positive T-lymphocytes were 123.0/mm 2 and 100.5/mm 2, respectively. The PD-L1 CPS score was 1, and the Ki-67 proliferation index was 3%. High-throughput sequencing showed FH gene somatic mutation in 3 cases, FH gene germline mutation in 2 cases, and FH gene mutation was not detected in one case. Conclusion:FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma is more commonly high-grade than low grade. FH and 2SC are immunohistochemical markers used in the diagnosis of FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma, and GATA3 positivity is supportive of the diagnosis. The tumor infiltration of high-grade FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma shows an increase in CD4 and CD8 positive T-lymphocytes, and high expression of PD-L1; thus, anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy can be used as a treatment option.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors and pathogen distribution of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 118 patients with ARDS who received treatment at Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital from January 2020 to January 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: the VAP group ( n = 38) and the non-VAP group ( n = 80), based on the presence of concurrent VAP. Serological indicators, blood gas analysis parameters, and ventilator settings were compared between the two groups to identify the risk factors associated with the occurrence of VAP. Pathogenic bacteria in the patients' sputum were also detected. Results:Among the 118 patients, there were 79 males and 39 females, with an average age of (53.1 ± 9.6) years. The primary underlying conditions leading to ARDS included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 49 cases (41.53%), sepsis in 20 cases (16.95%), severe pneumonia in 17 cases (14.41%), and extensive stroke in 16 cases (13.56%). Univariate analysis revealed that, compared with the non-VAP group, the VAP group had significantly more severe ARDS ( Z = -4.73, P < 0.05). Compared with the non-VAP group, the levels of albumin, platelets, and procalcitonin in the VAP group were significantly lower ( t = 13.75, 3.11, 2.27, all P < 0.05), while levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), and angiotensin Ⅱin the VAP group were significantly higher ( t = 2.51, 26.63, 27.50, all P < 0.05). The VAP group had a significantly higher proportion of patients who experienced coma, underwent tracheostomy, and received more than two types of antibiotics (χ2 = 14.84, 19.04, 11.22, all P < 0.05). The VAP group also had significantly longer duration of antibiotic use compared with the non-VAP group ( t = 6.88, P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that albumin ( OR = 2.632, 95% CI: 1.398-3.749), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( OR = 2.358, 95% CI: 1.534-4.036), coma ( OR = 3.035, 95% CI: 2.034-3.834), and use of more than two types of antibiotics ( OR = 2.005, 95% CI: 1.363-2.846) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of VAP in patients with ARDS (all P < 0.05). In 38 patients with VAP, 63 pathogenic strains were isolated from sputum, while in 80 patients with non-VAP, 128 pathogenic strains were isolated. The most common pathogens identified were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus. In the VAP group, a single pathogen was identified in 16 cases (42.11%), whereas in the non-VAP group, a single pathogen was identified in 51 cases (63.75%). Two types of pathogens were found in 14 cases (36.84%) of the VAP group and 25 cases (31.25%) of the non-VAP group, while three or more pathogens were detected in 8 cases (21.05%) of the VAP group and 4 cases (5.00%) of the non-VAP group. The survival rates for the VAP and non-VAP groups were 57.9% (22/38) and 85.0% (68/80), respectively, with the non-VAP group showing a significantly higher survival rate (χ2 = 22.67, P < 0.001). Conclusion:The risk of VAP in patients with ARDS is high, with two or more pathogen infections being predominant. Clinical interventions should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of the S-PAL model (combining a student standardized patient with peer assisted learning) in experimental teaching of physical diagnostics.Methods:Eighty-four undergraduate students of grade 2022 in clinical medicine of Chongqing Medical University were divided into experimental group ( n=44, experimental class teaching combined with S-PAL model-based autonomous practice) and control group ( n=40, experimental class teaching combined with traditional autonomous practice). Performance evaluation and teaching feedback and satisfaction survey were conducted. SPSS 27.0 was used to perform the t-test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, sex, the grade point average, and pre-training theoretical scores. The academic assessment score of the experimental group (66.34±15.45) was significantly higher than that of the control group (55.12±15.02). The experimental group was superior to the control group in clinical skills assessed with the mini-clinical evaluation exercise. The experimental group had a higher degree of satisfaction with teaching than the control group. The experimental group highly accepted autonomous practice based on the S-PAL model.Conclusions:The S-PAL model can improve medical undergraduates' academic performance and satisfaction with teaching in physical diagnostics, and also promote their doctor-patient communication skills, which is a good self-learning model as a complement to physical diagnostics teaching.
