Aim To explore the molecular mechanism of Tongluo Tangtai(TLTT)prescription in the preven-tion and treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN)based on network pharmacology and in vitro experimental verification.Methods The chemical composition information of Tongluo Tangtai was searched by TCMSP database and literature search,and the target of chemical composition was collected by PubChem and SwissTargetPrediction database.DPN targets were collected through GeneCards database.GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment of common target proteins were analyzed using DAVID database.The correlation network diagram was constructed using Cytoscape software,and the main active components and target genes were screened for molecular docking study.The in vitro model of DPN was constructed in Schwann cells induced by high glucose.The effect of TLTT on the survival rate of RSC96 cells was detected by CCK-8 method,and the gene expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway related target molecules in RSC96 cells was detected by Real-time PCR.The expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related proteins in RSC96 cells were detected by Western blot.Results The main active components such as stigmasterol,β-si-tosterol and quercetin were screened,which mainly ac-ted on EGFR,AKT1,MAPK3 and Wnt,PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways.The molecular docking re-sults showed that stigmasterol,β-sitosterol,quercetin and other components could dock well with EGFR,AKT1,MAPK3 and other targets.The results of cell experiment showed that 10%TLTT drug-containing ser-um could promote the viability of high-glucose Schwann cells,up-regulate the expression of β-catenin protein,and down-regulate the expression of GSK-3β and Wif-1 protein.Conclusions TLTT has the characteristics of multi-target-multi-pathway in the treatment of DPN.The possible mechanism is that TLTT activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,improves the inhibi-tory effect of high glucose on the proliferation of Schwann cells,promotes the proliferation of Schwann cells,and thus improves the status of DPN.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of an interpretable integrated learning model combining clinical indicators,CT image features and radiomics features for the differential diagnosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma,so as to provide references for clincal treatment decisions.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical and imaging data from 220 patients(231 lesions)with primary non-small cell lung cancer at Jiangjin Central Hospital of Chongqing(Center 1)and 83 patients(84 lesions)at Chongqing General Hospital(Center 2).In Center 1,the squamous cell carcinoma group consisted of 60 patients(60 lesions),while the adenocarcinoma group included 160 patients(171 lesions).In Center 2,the squamous cell carcinoma group comprised 18 patients(18 lesions),and the adenocarcinoma group involved 65 patients(66 lesions).The patients were categorized into squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma groups based on pathological findings.Center 1 was randomly partitioned into a training set and a validation set at a 7∶3 ratio,while Center 2 served as the independent test set.Firstly,a deep learning model,VB-Net,was used to automatically segment the tumor region on the lung window image;secondly,the SMOTE(synthetic minority oversampling technique)method was used to balance the categories in the training set and standardize the extracted features with Z-scores;thirdly,the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)were used to select the optimal radiomics features and calculate the radiomics score(Radscore),and univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to screen clinical indicators and independent clinical factors for differentiating lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma in CT image features;finally,three ensemble learning algorithms(AdaBoost,Bagging decision tree and XGBoost)were used to combine independent clinical factors and Radscore to construct the model.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the models.SHAP technique was used to analyze the feature contribution and model decision-making process.Results Among the evaluated ensemble models,AdaBoost and Bagging decision trees demonstrated overfitting tendencies.In contrast,the XGBoost model showed the best performance,achieving AUC values of 0.939,0.887 and 0.853 in the training,validation and independent test sets,respectively.SHAP indicated that Radscore was the most important feature affecting the performance of the model.The decision diagram enabled the visualization of the diagnostic process of the model.Conclusion The interpretable integrated learning model based on clinical indicators,CT image and radiomics features is expected to non-invasively diagnose lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma before treatment and assist clinicians make treatment decisions as early as possible.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(7):12-20]

Objective To explore the application value of MRI diaphragmatic navigation technology combined with three dimensional liver acquisition with volume acceleration-flexible(3D LAVA-FLEX)sequence in abdominal enhanced imaging of infants and young children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on imaging data of 84 infants and young children who underwent abdominal enhanced MRI examination in our hospital between January 2021 and December 2023.All 84 infants and young children initially underwent conventional dynamic contrast-enhanced 3D LAVA-FLEX sequence scanning;the delayed phase images obtained were included in the dynamic enhancement group.Subsequently,diaphragmatic navigation combined with 3D LAVA-FLEX sequence examination was implemented,and the obtained images were included in the diaphragm navigation group.Subjective scoring was performed for images in both groups,while the signal to noise ratio(SNR),contrast to noise ratio(CNR),and artifact quantification(AQ)were measured and compared between the two groups.Results The respiratory motion artifacts,the clarity of liver parenchyma enhancement,the clarity of liver vascular enhancement,the clarity of spleen parenchyma enhancement and the overall image quality score in the diaphragm navigation group were higher than those in the dynamic enhancement group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in SNR and AQ between the two groups of images(P<0.000 1),while there was no statistically significant difference in CNR between the two groups of images(P>0.05).Conclusion Diaphragmatic navigation technology combined with 3D LAVA-FLEX sequence imaging can improve the image quality of abdominal MRI enhanced imaging in infants and young children,and provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
