Objective To explore the effectiveness of the generative large language model MedGo in nursing decision-making for elderly patients with multimorbidity. Methods A quasi-randomized controlled trial study was conducted involving 6 junior nurses, 6 senior nurses and the MedGo model from January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025 at the Emergency Internal Medicine Ward of Shanghai East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University. Clinical data of 120 elderly patients with multimorbidity were analyzed to compare the performance of the three groups in four tasks (nursing diagnosis assessment, nursing intervention formulation, complication identification, and complication prevention) from three evaluation dimensions: decision-making time consumption, decision accuracy, and decision-making quality. Results In terms of decision-making time, the senior nurse group completed all four tasks faster than the junior nurse group (P＜0.01), and the MedGo group completed all four tasks faster than the junior nurse group (P＜0.001) and the senior nurse group (P＜0.001). In terms of decision-making accuracy, senior nurse group scored higher than junior nurse group in all four tasks (P＜0.001), while the MedGo group outperformed the senior nurse group only in complication identification (P＜0.001). In terms of decision-making quality, the MedGo group scored higher than junior nurse group (P＜0.001) and senior nurse group (P＜0.001) in all four tasks. Conclusions The MedGo model demonstrates advantages of high efficiency, accuracy, and quality in nursing decision-making for elderly patients with multimorbidity; senior nurses outperform junior nurses in decision-making, providing diverse references for clinical nursing decision-making.

Objective:In this study, we aimed to investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of perioperative administration of the PD-1 inhibitor tislelizumab combined with the SOX regimen (oxaliplatin plus S-1) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, and to identify factors influencing therapeutic outcomes.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed clinical data of 166 patients who had undergone perioperative therapy and D2 radical gastrectomy in the Department of General Surgery, First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between September 2021 and September 2023. The cohort comprised 140 men and 26 women, of median age 62 years (range: 30-75). The patients were allocated to two groups: 62 receiving tislelizumab plus SOX (combination therapy group), and 104 SOX alone (chemotherapy-only group). Primary outcomes included pathological complete response rate, treatment-related adverse events, and complications of surgery. Secondary outcomes comprised major pathological response rate, tumor regression grade (Grades 1-2 denoting favorable response, Grade 3 moderate, and Grades 4-5 poor response), R0 resection rate, and short-term survival outcomes (1-year disease-free and overall survivals). Risk factors associated with pCR in the combination group were also analyzed.Results:The combination therapy group exhibited significantly higher rates of pCR (25.8% vs. 8.7%, χ 2=8.93, P=0.003) and Grade 1 tumor regression (25.8% vs. 16.3%, χ 2=15.32, P=0.001) than the chemotherapy-only group. There were no statistically significant differences in major pathological response rates (41.9% vs. 39.4%), R0 resection rates (96.8% vs. 97.1%,), treatment- related adverse events (48.4% vs. 42.3%,), surgical complications (9.7% vs. 12.5%), 1-year disease-free survival (82.3% vs. 78.8%), or 1-year overall survival (93.5% vs. 91.3%), There were no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis identified neural invasion as an independent risk factor for reduced pCR in the combination group (OR=0.10, 95%CI:0.01-0.85, P=0.035). Conclusions:Perioperative tislelizumab combined with SOX chemotherapy improves pathological response rates in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and has favorable short-term efficacy and safety profiles. Neural invasion may diminish the therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy.

Objective To explore the factors influencing the efficacy of postoperative first 131Ⅰ therapy in patients with papillary thy-roid carcinoma(PTC)with cervical lymph node metastases detected by iodine and low stimulated thyroglobulin(sTg)level(sTg<10 μg/L).Methods Retrospective analysis of 98 postoperative PTC patients with low sTg level and no distant metastases at the time of their first 131Ⅰ treatment at Hangzhou Cancer Hospital between July 2014 and April 2021 was conducted.According to the post-treatment whole body scan(Rx-WBS)results,the patients were divided into two groups:a group with cervical lymph node metastasis detected by iodine(LN+,n=53)and a group without cervical lymph node metastasis detected by iodine(LN-,n=45).Efficacy evaluation was performed 6 months after 131Ⅰ treatment by determining whether excellent response(ER)was achieved based on sTg levels and the results of diagnostic whole body scan(Dx-WBS)and other imaging tests.The LN+and LN-groups were compared in terms of age,sex,sTg level,anti-thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb)level,ER rate,T stage,N stage,the number of lymph node metastases in pathology,and the dose of 131Ⅰ treatment.Uni-variate and multivariate logistic analyses were performed to find the factors affecting the efficacy of the treatment.The predictive value and optimal diagnostic thresholds of these factors were assessed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results Between the LN+and LN-groups,there were significant differences in ER rate 6 months after the first 131Ⅰ treatment,sTg level,and the number of lymph node metastases in pathology(all P<0.05),and no significant differences in age,sex,T stage,N stage,TgAb level,and 131Ⅰ treatment dose(all P>0.05).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients'sTg level and the number of lymph node metastases in pathology were associated with the efficacy of 131Ⅰ treatment(both P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that sTg level was a determinant factor influencing the efficacy of 131Ⅰ treatment(P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve for pretreatment sTg level predicting ER was 0.799(95%CI:0.708-0.889).The sensitivity and specificity of predicting ER at the cutoff value of sTg level which was 2.655 μg/L were 69.2%and 77.8%,re-spectively.Conclusions In postoperative PTC patients with low sTg level accompanied by cervical lymph node metastases detected by iodine,the short-term efficacy of 131Ⅰ therapy is overall inferior to that in those without cervical lymph node metastases detected by iodine.sTg level is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of 131Ⅰ therapy in this group of patients,and those with low sTg level have a higher likelihood of achieving a satisfactory outcome after 131Ⅰ therapy.

Objective To understand the current status of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)systematic reviews/Meta-analysis over the past 10 years.Methods Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews,PubMed,Web of Knowledge,CNKI,SinoMed,WanFang Data,VIP databases,as well as the Cochrane Register and PROSPERO registration platform were searched to collect TCM-related systematic reviews/Meta-analysis published between January 2015 and December 2024.Literature was screened,and standardization of institutions,countries,and journals was performed.Data cleaning was conducted,and trends in publication years,high-frequency diseases,journals,institutions,and highly cited papers were analyzed.Results A total of 11,174 papers were included,involving approximately 56,656 authors from 1,422 institutions across 44 countries,covering 1,300 journals and 1,070 diseases.The top five institutions in terms of publications were Beijing University of Chinese Medicine(954 papers),Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine(928 papers),China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences(537 papers),Tianjin University of Chinese Medicine(460 papers),and Chengdu University of Chinese Medicine(393 papers).Foreign institutions with the highest publication volumes were concentrated in South Korea,Iran,and Australia.The most frequently published Chinese journal was Zhongyi Clinical Research with 332 papers,while the most published English journal was Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine with 311 papers.There were 282 single-author papers involving 271 authors,and the most cited paper was referenced 323 times,The three most frequently studied diseases were diabetes(267 papers,2.39％),angina pectoris(214 papers,1.92％),and osteoarthritis(210 papers,1.88％).Non-pharmacological interventions such as acupuncture(1,265 papers,11.32％),auricular therapy(101 papers,0.90％),and Tai Chi(98 papers,0.88％)were most frequently reported.In pharmacological interventions,studies on Tripterygium wilfordii tablets(76 papers,0.68％)and Danhong injection(54 papers,0.48％)were more common.Conclusion The systematic reviews/Meta-analysis method is widely used in the field of TCM,and the field continues to grow.Active academic teams,institutions,and journals have emerged.Over the past decade,there has been a considerable body of evidence in Chinese systematic reviews on TCM for chronic diseases such as diabetes,angina pectoris,and osteoarthritis.In English-language studies,non-pharmacological therapies like acupuncture have been more widely reported,and some high-impact studies have emerged.However,challenges remain,such as issues with research transparency and methodological standardization.Future efforts should focus on establishing transparent systems and quality control mechanisms to further enhance the reliability,accuracy,and dissemination of TCM evidence-based research.

Objective:To describe the clinical and pathological features of patients with myofasciitis.Methods:The clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination (laboratory, electromyogram, imaging and muscle biopsy) results of 52 patients with myofasciitis diagnosed by pathology at Peking University First Hospital from August 2002 to December 2024 were collected and analyzed.Results:Among the 52 patients (33 males and 19 females), the age of disease onset was (34.4±16.4) years (6.0-73.0 years) and the disease duration was 17.7 (0.3, 120.0) months; the main symptoms included myalgia in the distal limbs (28 cases, 53.8%), diffuse cutaneous or muscle sclerosis (21 cases, 40.4%), muscle weakness (22 cases, 42.3%) and limited joint activity (23 cases, 44.2%); 12 patients (23.1%) were combined with other diseases. All patients had no history of vaccination. Laboratory examinations showed that 80.8% (21/26) of patients had elevated C-reactive protein, 80.0% (20/25) had elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and 26.5% (9/34) had elevated creatine kinase. Among 19 patients undergoing electromyography, 6 cases showed myogenic changes, 4 cases showed neurogenic changes, 1 case showed both myogenic and neurogenic changes, and 8 cases showed no obvious abnormality. Myofascial edema was observed in all 15 patients who underwent muscle magnetic resonance imaging, with partial involvement of adjacent muscles in some cases. According to myopathological changes, the 52 patients were divided into macrophagic myofasciitis in 41 cases (78.8%), lymphocytic myofasciitis in 7 cases (13.5%), and eosinophilic fasciitis in 4 cases (7.7%). Among the 52 patients, fibroblast proliferation in the myofascia was present in 39 cases (75.0%), subfascial muscle fiber atrophy in 28 cases (53.8%), and scattered muscle fiber necrosis and regeneration in 15 cases (28.8%). Major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰexpression on muscle fibers was positive in 89.5% (34/38) of patients, and membrane attack complex deposition on muscle fibers and/or capillary walls was present in 39.5% (15/38) of patients. Among 25 patients with follow-up, all received low-dose oral glucocorticoids, and 7 additionally received methotrexate, intravenous immunoglobulin, or hydroxychloroquine. During follow-up, 22 patients showed clinical improvement, 1 patient remained stable, and 2 patients died.Conclusions:Non-vaccine-associated macrophagic myofasciitis is the most common pathological subtype of myofasciitis. A few patients are concomitant with other diseases. Muscle magnetic resonance imaging is helpful in the diagnosis of the disease. Most patients respond to immunosuppressive treatment.

AIM: To investigate the influence of relevant inflammatory markers in peripheral blood on the progression of neovascular glaucoma(NVG)secondary to diabetic retinopathy(DR)patients.METHODS: Retrospective case-control study. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the presence or absence of NVG: those with proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)alone(PDR group, n=148)and those with NVG secondary to PDR(NVG secondary to PDR group, n=142). Peripheral blood inflammatory markers were evaluated, including white blood cell-related indices, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio(MLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index(SII). The distinctions in peripheral blood inflammatory markers between the two groups of patients and their relationships with NVG secondary to PDR were analyzed.RESULTS:No statistically significant differences were observed in basic characteristics between the two groups, confirming their comparability. However, significant differences were found in eosinophil percentage and MLR between the PDR group and the NVG secondary to PDR group(all P<0.05), with both values being significantly higher in the NVG secondary to PDR group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the eosinophil percentage and the MLR were factors influencing the development of patients with NVG secondary to PDR.CONCLUSION: Eosinophil percentage and MLR may be associated with the progression of PDR to NVG, and could serve as potential predictive markers for NVG development in PDR patients.

This research study focuses on addressing the limitations of current neuropathic pain(NP)treatments by developing a novel dual-target modulator,E0199,targeting both Nav1.7,Nay1.8,and Nay1.9 and Kv7 channels,a crucial regulator in controlling NP symptoms.The objective of the study was to synthesize a compound capable of modulating these channels to alleviate NP.Through an experimental design involving both in vitro and in vivo methods,E0199 was tested for its efficacy on ion channels and its therapeutic potential in a chronic constriction injury(CCI)mouse model.The results demonstrated that E0199 significantly inhibited Nav1.7,Nav1.8,and Nav1.9 channels with a particularly low half maximal inhibitory concentration(ICs0)for Nay1.9 by promoting sodium channel inactivation,and also effectively increased Kv7.2/73,Kv7.2,and Kv7.5 channels,excluding Kv7.1 by promoting potassium channel acti-vation.This dual action significantly reduced the excitability of dorsal root ganglion neurons and alle-viated pain hypersensitivity in mice at low doses,indicating a potent analgesic effect without affecting heart and skeletal muscle ion channels critically.The safety of E0199 was supported by neurobehavioral evaluations.Conclusively,E0199 represents a ground-breaking approach in NP treatment,showcasing the potential of dual-target small-molecule compounds in providing a more effective and safe thera-peutic option for NP.This study introduces a promising direction for the future development of NP therapeutics.

This research study focuses on addressing the limitations of current neuropathic pain (NP) treatments by developing a novel dual-target modulator, E0199, targeting both Na_V1.7, Na_V1.8, and Na_V1.9 and K_V7 channels, a crucial regulator in controlling NP symptoms. The objective of the study was to synthesize a compound capable of modulating these channels to alleviate NP. Through an experimental design involving both in vitro and in vivo methods, E0199 was tested for its efficacy on ion channels and its therapeutic potential in a chronic constriction injury (CCI) mouse model. The results demonstrated that E0199 significantly inhibited Na_V1.7, Na_V1.8, and Na_V1.9 channels with a particularly low half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) for Na_V1.9 by promoting sodium channel inactivation, and also effectively increased K_V7.2/7.3, K_V7.2, and K_V7.5 channels, excluding K_V7.1 by promoting potassium channel activation. This dual action significantly reduced the excitability of dorsal root ganglion neurons and alleviated pain hypersensitivity in mice at low doses, indicating a potent analgesic effect without affecting heart and skeletal muscle ion channels critically. The safety of E0199 was supported by neurobehavioral evaluations. Conclusively, E0199 represents a ground-breaking approach in NP treatment, showcasing the potential of dual-target small-molecule compounds in providing a more effective and safe therapeutic option for NP. This study introduces a promising direction for the future development of NP therapeutics.
