OBJECTIVE Identify the incentive and constraint factors of artificial intelligence (AI) application in the pharmaceutical field, and promote the application of AI in the field of pharmacy. METHODS Based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, and diffusion of innovation theory (DOI), a TAM-TOE-DOI integrated framework was constructed through a four-stage research process of “theoretical review → dimension mapping → mechanism integration → proposition development”. Combining the analytical pathways of the above three theories in AI application in pharmacy with the integration mechanisms and core propositions of the TAM-TOE-DOI, literature review and deductive reasoning were employed to systematically identify the incentive and constraint factors of AI application in pharmacy from three levels:micro (TAM), meso (TOE), and macro (DOI), and to propose optimization strategies. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS At the micro level, the efficiency transformation and quality improvement brought by AI technology were the main incentive factors for perceived usefulness, while technological complexity and algorithmic opacity were the main constraint factors for perceived ease of use. At the meso level, the completeness of technological infrastructure, the strength of top management support and innovation climate, as well as external institutional pressure and competitive driving forces were the core incentive factors, whereas scarcity of organizational resources and talent shortage were the main constraint factors. At the macro level, relative advantage and observability were typical incentive factors, while technological complexity was a typical constraint factor. China’s health administration, medical insurance authorities, and other relevant departments should coordinate efforts at the macro, meso, and micro levels to advance AI application in pharmacy: optimizing human-computer interaction and implementing tiered training programs at the micro level; reinforcing organizational support systems and capacity building at the meso level; dismantling data barriers and building social trust at the macro level. Differentiated implementation pathways should be developed for medical institutions at different tiers.

Bovine rotavirus(BRV)is an important pathogen causing diarrhea in calves.To understand the genomic charac-teristics and genetic variations in bovine rotavirus,and to further enrich data on the biological characteristics of rotavirus,we aimed to amplify 11 gene segments of the isolated and cultured G6P[1]bovine rotavirus BLL strain,perform whole genome se-quencing,and analyze the molecular characteristics.MEGA7.0 and DNAMAN software were used for homology and typing a-nalysis,and the whole genome phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze genetic evolution relationships.The complete geno-type of the BLL strain was G6-P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 and VP4 genes of the BLL strain showed that the VP7 gene had the highest homology with RVA/Cow-wt/HB01/China/2021,and the VP4 gene of the BLL strain was in the same branch as RVA/Human-tc/ISR/Ro8059/1995.From the sequence alignment of VP8*amino acids,the sialic acid domain of the BLL strain was found to be similar to that in other P[1]strains,but different from those in other types of strains,except for residue 189,which was the same as that in Ro8059 but different from that in other strains.The results suggested that the BLL strain might potentially infect humans.Therefore,continued monitoring and study of the biological characteristics of this strain are necessary to provide more information and evidence supporting further research on the cross-species transmission of group A rotavirus in China.

Isoflavones which mainly distributed in leguminous plants have plenty of health benefits.Isoflavone synthase(IFS)is a membrane-associated cytochrome P450 enzyme(CYP450)which carries out the unique aryl-ring migration and hydroxylation.So far,few crystal structures of plant P450s have been obtained.We determined the crystal structure of IFS from Medicago truncatula at 1.9 ? by MAD method using a selenomethionine substituted crystal and conducted molecular docking and mutagenesis study.The structure of IFS complexed with imidazole exhibits the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif which cor-responds to helix Ⅰ of other P450s.Compared with structures of common P450s,IFS/imidazole structure contains an extra domain,i.e.,the γ-domain.The structure reveals a homodimer in which the γ-domain of one molecule interacts with the β-domain of another.The plane of heme group makes an angle of ap-proximately 40° with the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif.Molecular docking combined with mutagenesis study suggested that Trp-128 and Asp-300 might play important roles in substrate binding and recogni-tion.Phe-301,Ser-303 and Gly-305 from the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif may play important roles in the aryl-ring migration.These novel structural features reveal insights into the unique reaction mechanism of IFS and provide a basis for engineering IFS in leguminous crops for health purpose.

Objective To explore influencing factors in diagnosing stump vaginal lesions by comparing the clinical data of patients with vaginal wall resection after total hysterectomy.Methods This retrospective study included patients who underwent vaginectomy due to stump vaginal lesions[including high-grade intraepithelial lesion(HSIL)or cancer]in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University between Jan 1,2013 and Sep 30,2022.The diagnosis was confirmed based on pathology results after vaginal stump resection,then patients were categorized into HSIL group and vaginal cancer(VC)group.We analyzed the differences in clinical features between the groups and evaluated the diagnostic value of various indicators for vaginal cancer.Additionally,within the VC group,patients whose colposcopic biopsy showed HSIL while whose pathology upgraded to invasive cancer after stump colpotomy were classified as the high-grade pathologic invasive cancer group(HC group).We then compared the HSIL group and the HC group to assess the predictive value of each index for pathological escalation.Results Significant differences were observed between the HSIL and VC groups in terms of age,etiology of previous hysterectomy,proportion of clinical symptoms,proportion of abnormal physical examination findings,proportion of abnormal imaging findings,proportion of papillary lesions,proportion of vaginal roof lesions,and squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCCA)(P<0.05).However,there were no significant differences in fertility,previous hysterectomy,or HPV infection rate.Abnormal physical examination and imaging findings demonstrated better diagnostic performance(AUC>0.7).The proportion of vaginal apex lesions was significantly higher in the HC group compared with the HSIL group(P<0.05).Conclusion Previous hysterectomy for cervical cancer,presence of clinical symptoms,abnormal physical findings,abnormal imaging manifestations,and lesions at the vaginal apex are significant influencing factors in the diagnosis of vaginal stump carcinoma.Although colposcopy remains the primary diagnostic method,vaginal resection should be considered to rule out invasive carcinoma when high-risk factors exist,even if colposcopic biopsy pathology suggests HSIL.
