In the context of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， the inheritance of the experiences of famous doctors faces significant challenges due to its complex nonlinear characteristics and dynamic evolution. There are still issues in the current inheritance system， such as the homogenization of talent cultivation models， lack of standardized mentoring practices， and monotonous evaluation method， which hinder the systematic inheritance and innovative development of famous doctors' experiences. Based on a systematic review of the current state of artificial intelligence （AI）-assisted inheritance of famous doctors' experiences， this study explores innovative pathways for deep integration of modern information technologies with famous doctors' experiences from key dimensions， including data authenticity assurance， interdisciplinary collaboration mechanisms， and the establishment of dynamic inheritance standards. It proposes a paradigm shift in the inheritance of TCM famous doctors' experiences in the AI era， aiming to build a new TCM inheritance system of "digital intelligence empowerment and cross-disciplinary innovation"， providing theoretical support and practical pathways for the inheritance of famous doctors' experiences in TCM.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical phenotypes and genetic characteristics of five children with Lamb-Shaffer syndrome (LAMSHF). METHODS: Five children with LAMSHF diagnosed at the Department of Pediatrics, the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from April 2021 to December 2024 were selected as study subjects. Clinical data of the children was collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the children and their parents. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out to screen for variants. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Chinese PLA General Hospital (Ethics No.: S2025-411-01). RESULTS: All five children had presented with global developmental delay. Among them, two had manifestations of autism spectrum disorder, two had abnormal electroencephalogram findings, four had abnormal MRI results, and two had ocular abnormalities. WES has detected five novel variants in the SOX5 gene. Among these, c.1771G>C (p.Gly591Arg) was unreported previously. Sanger sequencing confirmed that none of the parents had carried the same variants, suggesting that they were all de novo variants. According to the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), two nonsense variants and one missense variant were classified as pathogenic, whilst two missense variants were classified as likely pathogenic. CONCLUSION This study has clarified the correlation between the clinical phenotypes of five children with LAMSHF and variants of the SOX5 gene, which expanded the mutational spectrum of the SOX5 gene and provided a basis for the clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Objective To analyze survival outcomes and influencing factors among patients with colorectal cancer in Yunnan Province. Methods Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 4 892 patients with colorectal cancer. Survival data were obtained through follow-up. Overall survival (OS) was calculated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analysis was performed by applying the log-rank test. Meanwhile, multivariate analysis employed the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS rates for the entire cohort were 91.90%, 74.40%, 64.40%, and 28.70%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that age, ethnicity, region, differentiation grade, TNM stage, clinical stage, metastatic status, histological type, and treatment modality (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery) were associated with patient prognosis (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified age (HR=1.250), region (HR=1.262), differentiation grade (HR=0.761), clinical stage (HR=3.128), and treatment modality (chemotherapy, HR=0.644; radiotherapy, HR=1.605; surgery, HR=0.384) as independent factors affecting survival prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer (all P<0.001). Conclusion Age, region, clinical stage, and treatment modality are independent factors influencing survival among patients with colorectal cancer in Yunnan Province. In clinical practice, these factors should be integrated to develop individualized prevention and treatment strategies, thereby improving patient outcomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of gray matter structure and clinical symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's disease （AD） comorbid with apathy （AD-A）. MethodsThe study included 30 patients with AD-A， 30 AD disease patients without apathy （AD without apathy， AD-NA）， and 30 healthy controls （HCs） matched in gender， age， and years of education. All participants underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment and magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） scans. Voxel-based morphometry （VBM） was used to analyze changes in gray matter volume among the three groups. Additionally， the correlation between the identified abnormal brain regions and apathy scale scores was analyzed. ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences among the three groups in terms of age， gender， years of education， or total intracranial volume. Compared with the HCs group， both the AD-A and AD-NA groups showed significantly lower scores in cognitive function （P<0.001）. The AD-A group exhibited significantly higher apathy scale scores compared with the AD-NA group （P<0.001）. Compared with the AD-NA group， the AD-A group showed reduced gray matter volume in the bilateral caudate nucleus， left orbitofrontal cortex， lingual gyrus， inferior frontal gyrus， superior frontal gyrus， entorhinal cortex， right middle frontal gyrus and posterior cingulate cortex （FWE-corrected， P<0.05 for all）. Compared with the HCs group， the AD-A group exhibited reduced gray matter volume in the bilateral middle temporal gyrus， left fusiform gyrus， calcarine sulcus， postcentral gyrus， right inferior frontal gyrus and supramarginal gyrus （FWE-corrected， P<0.05 for all）. Compared with the HCs group， the AD-NA group showed reduced gray matter volume in the left precuneus， inferior temporal gyrus， and right inferior temporal gyrus （FWE-corrected， P<0.05 for all）. In the AD-A group， changes in the gray matter volume of the left caudate nucleus （r= -0.557， P=0.002） and right middle frontal gyrus （r=-0.620， P=0.001） were negatively correlated with the apathy evaluation scale （AES） scores. ConclusionPatients in the AD-A group exhibited significant atrophy in the frontal-temporal-basal ganglia circuit， and the degree of gray matter atrophy was correlated with the severity of apathy.

Objective To analyze the epidemiologic burden of colorectal cancer in Xishan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province from 2018 to 2020. Methods Indicators of epidemiologic burden were calculated, including incidence rate, mortality rate, age-specific incidence/mortality rates, potential years of life lost (PYLL), and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) based on the National Disease Control and Prevention Center’s "Cancer Information Registration and Reporting System" and "Cause of Death Registration System". Results From 2018 to 2020, the ASR (China) for the incidence of colorectal cancer in Xishan District, Kunming City increased from 25.27/10⁵ to 26.29/10⁵, while the ASR (China) for mortality decreased from 17.11/10⁵ to 16.03/10⁵. The PYLL in 2018–2020 were 1399.63, 1376.78, and 1571.56 person-years, respectively, whereas the DALY in 2018–2020 were 1927.74, 1875.05, and 1945.17 person-years, respectively. The morbidity, mortality, PYLL, and DALY were generally higher in males than in females over 45 years of age. Conclusion Given the parallel trends of persistent incidence risk and steadily declining mortality for colorectal cancer in Xishan District, Kunming City, a three-tier prevention and control system centered on "lifestyle intervention–regular screening–positive case tracking" should be established, with a focus on covering high-risk populations, particularly males over 45 years of age.

Objective: To explore the plasma metabonomic characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome. Methods: One hundred and three patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome were enrolled from November 2023 to February 2024 in the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and 54 healthy individuals were recruited. The general data of the two groups were analyzed, and the plasma metabolite content was detected using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. Construct an orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model to screen metabolites with significant intergroup changes. The variable importance in projection≥ 1, |log2FC|>1, and P<0.05 were used as the criteria for the screening of differential metabolites. Annotate differential metabolites using internal databases and the human metabolome database, and perform pathway analysis using MetaboAnalyst website. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in gender and age between the two groups.Seventeen potential differential metabolites were identified. The D-4′-phosphopantothenate, 2, 6-dichloroindophenol, 4-methylphenol, hypoxanthine, 11, 12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, oleamide, 3-phenyllactic acid contents were higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome than in healthy individuals(P<0.05); 3-anisic acid, 3-iodo-octadecanoic acid, mebendazole, β-alanine, citric acid, trans-aconitic acid, geranyl diphosphate, lysophosphatidylcholine(18∶2), phosphatidylethanolamine(18∶1), and caprolactam contents were lower in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome than in healthy individuals(P<0.05). Ten metabolic pathways were identified, including the key metabolic pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis pathways. Conclusion Metabolic differences were observed between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome and healthy individuals, and the underlying mechanism may involve the pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis pathways, jointly mediated by D-4′-phosphopantothenate and β-alanine.

Objective:Primary pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma(PMEC)is a rare malignant lung tumor that accounts for approxim-ately 0.1%-0.2%of all primary pulmonary neoplasms.Due to the non-specific clinical symptoms and epidemiological features,PMEC poses diagnostic challenges.Methods:Tissue blocks from 23 archived PMECs were collected from The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow Uni-versity(November 2012 to December 2023).To establish definitive diagnoses,comprehensive histopathological evaluation,including histo-morphological analysis,immunohistochemistry(IHC),fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH),and periodic acid-Schiff(PAS)staining were performed.Results:The tumors consisted of varying proportions of mucin-secreting cells(mucous cells),intermediate cells,and epidermoid cells.Immunophenotypically,CK7 was predominantly expressed in the mucous cells,whereas CK5/6,p40,and p63 were expressed in the epidermoid and intermediate cells.The Ki-67 proliferation index ranged from 5%to 60%.All tumors were negative for TTF-1 and Napsin A.Five of the tumors were positive for PD-L1(clone 22C3),with a tumor percentage score of 3%-20%.All 11 tumors tested for ALK(clone D5F3)were negative.IHC for c-Met was performed on two tumors and both were weakly positive(+).Mastermind-like transcriptional co-activator 2(MAML2)gene rearrangement was detected in 34.8%(8/23)of the tumors.Mucous cells were PAS positive.Kaplan-Meier surviv-al analysis revealed a significantly poorer prognosis for patients with lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis,advanced TNM stage(Ⅲ+Ⅳ),poor differentiation,or MAML2 gene rearrangement negativity.Univariate analysis identified poor histological differentiation,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis,and advanced TNM stage as the major prognostic risk factors.Multivariate analysis confirmed poor differentiation and distant metastasis as independent risk factors for adverse outcomes.Conclusions:PMEC is an aggressive tumor with low incidence and non-specific clinical manifestations,leading to frequent misdiagnosis.Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion and ensure a thorough differential diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the service efficiency of nursing homes in China from a medical care integration per-spective and analyze influencing factors.Methods The three-stage Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA)model was applied to e-liminate the influence of environmental factors to analyze the efficiency of nursing homes in various provinces in China.Addition-ally,a Tobit model was used to examine the determinants of efficiency.Results During the research period,the traditional DEA model overestimated the comprehensive efficiency and scale efficiency of nursing homes in 31 provinces,municipalities,and au-tonomous regions in China,and underestimated the pure technical efficiency.Environmental factors such as per capita GDP,the elderly dependency ratio,and the proportion of urban population impacted the input variables to significantly different extents,with a comprehensive efficiency score of 0.785,a pure technical efficiency score of 0.870,and a scale efficiency score of 0.901.Key influencing factors of the service efficiency of elderly care institutions included basic elderly care facilities,regional popula-tion size,residents'consumption capacity,degree of disability of the care recipients,quality of human resources,and capacity of medical services.Conclusion After eliminating the influence of environmental factors through the three-stage DEA,the efficien-cy evaluation is more accurate.The service efficiency of nursing homes varies across different regions in China:the eastern region exhibits the highest efficiency,followed by the central region and the western region.

Objective To design an intelligent airborne soldier physical training system based on human body composition analysis to solve the problems in diversity of training mode,targeted training plan and high incidence of military training-related injuries.Methods The intelligent airborne military physical training system was designed with B/S architecture and developed with Python language,which was composed of four functional modules for airborne soldier information acquisition,trainee physical fitness state assessment,physical fitness training program recommendation and airborne soldier physical fitness training program evaluation.The airborne soldier information acquisition module collected and analyzed the trainee physiological parameter information with a human body composition analyzer,clarified the parameter characteristics related to physical training with considerations on military physical training requirements and constructed a trainee physical fitness assessment parameter model;the trainee physical fitness state assessment module established an evaluation model based on machine learning to realize stage-by-stage physical fitness evaluation for airborne soldiers;the physical fitness training program recommendation module was constructed based on the physical training feature similarity algorithm and graph embedding theory to provide decision making assistance for program development of airborne military physical training;the airborne soldier physical fitness training program evaluation module compared the physical fitness and evaluation results before and after training by means of list and chart,and updated the training program based on the evaluation results by calling the physical training program recommendation module.Results The intelligent airborne soldier physical training system contributed to forming an individualized physical fitness training recommendation mechanism after trainee body evaluation,modifying training program based on comparison and feedback for stage-by-stage training evaluation,so as to decrease the incidence of military training-related injuries while increasing the training efficiency.Conclusion The system developed improves airborne soldier physical training in rationality and reliability,and provides references for intelligent military training of the PLA.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(2):16-23]

Objective:To analyze the drug resistance status of Mycobacterium tuberculosis（MTB）at a hospital in Xiamen over the past decade. Methods:Sputum culture-positive specimens of tuberculosis patients from Xiamen Xinglin Hospital from 2015 to 2024 were collected retrospectively. Isolates were identified as MTB complex and subjected to drug susceptibility testing. Drug resistance patterns and trends over the study period were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square trend tests in SPSS 27.0 and GraphPad Prism 8.0.Results:Among 3 883 MTB isolates analyzed，1 132（29.15%）exhibited resistance to at least one drug. The highest rates of resistance to individual first-line drugs were observed for isoniazid（INH，16.04%），streptomycin（SM，15.43%），and rifampicin（RFP，12.28%）. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis（MDR-TB）was identified in 380 isolates（9.79%）. The predominant MDR resistance patterns were INH+RFP+SM（2.34%），INH+RFP（1.65%），and INH+RFP+SM+ethambutol（EMB）（1.03%）. Polyresistance was found in 188 isolates（4.84%），the predominant patterns were INH+SM（1.49%），INH+fluoroquinolone（FQs）（0.31%），and INH+para-aminosalicylic acid（PAS）（0.31%）. Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis（XDR-TB）was detected in 49 isolates（1.26%）. From 2015 to 2024，significant decreasing trends were observed for overall drug resistance（ χ2=8.858， P=0.003），MDR（ χ2=15.692， P<0.001），and RFP resistance（ χ2=21.627， P<0.001）. In contrast，fluoroquinolone（FQs）resistance showed no significant trend（ χ2=0.149， P=0.699）. Among RFP resistant and MDR isolates，FQs resistance rates were notably high at 33.12%（158/477）and 36.84%（140/380），respectively. Conclusions:The MTB resistance situation in the hospital has gradually declined in the past 10 years，but the resistance situation remains severe，and clinical attention needs to be strengthened on the use of FQs.
