OBJECTIVE To construct a preoperative medication reconciliation model assisted by a localized large language model （LLM） for gastric cancer and evaluate its clinical efficacy. METHODS A total of 249 gastric cancer patients with a history of continuous medication before admission in the Gastric Surgery Department of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into training set （154 cases） and validation set （95 cases） based on the order of time. Based on guidelines， drug package inserts， and other evidence， a standardized medication reconcili ation process and a structured knowledge base were constructed. DeepSeek-V3 LLM was deployed privately in the hospital， combined with retrieval-augmented generation technology， to achieve automated integration of medication information， risk screening， and generation of personalized recommendations. The quality of LLM-generated recommendations was evaluated using automatic metrics （BERT Score and ROUGE-1， 2， L） and manual scoring [seven-dimensional index （7DI） ] . Spearman correlation analysis was performed to explore the correlation between automatic scores and manual scores. Cronbach’s α coefficient was used to test the internal consistency of manual scoring results. The time consumed by manual and LLM-assisted medication reconciliation was compared across tasks of different difficulty levels （simple， moderate， and high）. RESULTS A structured knowledge base covering 8 major drug categories was finally established， covering common and high-risk preoperative medication scenarios and providing structured retrieval support for the LLM. For automatic evaluation， the precision， recall， and F1-score of BERT Score were 0.783±0.033， 0.811±0.038， and 0.796±0.028， respectively. The F1-scores of ROUGE-1， ROUGE-2 and ROUGE-L were 0.566±0.067， 0.338±0.076 and 0.468±0.082， respectively. The 7DI scores from three manual raters ranged from 32.06 to 33.45. The F1-score of automatic scoring was significantly positively correlated with the 7DI score of manual scoring （maximum coefficient of determination＝0.611， P ＜0.001）， and the internal consistency of manual scoring was good （Cronbach’s α ＝ 0.876）. In terms of efficiency， LLM-assisted medication reconciliation reduced time consumption by more than 90% compared with manual reconciliation in the simple， moderate， and high-difficulty groups （ P ＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS The medication reconciliation model constructed based on a localized LLM and structured knowledge base shows high accuracy， consistency， and clinical applicability in complex preoperative medication scenarios for gastric cancer. It can improve the efficiency of medication reconciliation and reduce potential medication risks.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Huangqi jiuni decoction （HQJND） on acute liver injury in severely scalded rats and its possible molecular mechanism by animal experiments and modern pharmacological tools. MethodsFirstly， the rat model of sepsis was established and randomly divided into 4 groups. The normal saline group was given 1 mL of normal saline twice a day， and the traditional Chinese medicine group was given 1 mL of concentrated huangqi jiuni decoction twice a day. After 72 hours of shock， the samples were sacrificed， and then the serum liver function and （+）-haematoxylin eosin staining were performed to verify the efficacy of the drug. Sham Operation Group and sepsis group were fed normally without any special treatment. Then， network pharmacology was used to screen the targets of drugs and drug responses and predict the signaling pathways that might play a role in the treatment of diseases. Finally， fluorescence quantitative PCR （RT-qPCR） was performed to detect gene expression， Western blot （WB） was performed to detect tumor necrosis factor （TNF-α）， P65， phosphorylated P65 （P-P65）， and immunohistochemical （IHC） were performed assays to verify drug efficacy and explore the mechanism of drug treatment. ResultsSerum liver function and histopathology in rats showed that HQJND significantly improved liver function in severely burned rats. Network pharmacology screening was used to identify 353 disease-related marker genes and 286 drug targets. It was predicted that tumor necrosis/NF-NF-κB pathway （TNF/NF-NF-κB pathway） might be a key pathway for HQJND to treat acute liver injury after severe burns. The results of immunohistochemistry （IHC） showed that the staining of TNF-α in the liver of the sepsis group was more than that of the sham operation group and the traditional Chinese medicine group. The results of RT-qPCR and WB showed that the expression of TNF-α， TNFR1 and P65 proteins in the liver of rats in the sepsis group was significantly higher than that in the sham operation group and the traditional Chinese medicine group； on the contrary， the expression of TNF-α， TNFR1 and P65 proteins in the liver of rats in the sepsis group was significantly higher than that in the sham operation group and the traditional Chinese medicine group. The expression level of nuclear factor-kappa B（IκBα） was higher in the sham operation group and the traditional Chinese medicine group， indicating that drug treatment effectively inhibited the activation of the TNF/NF-κb signaling pathway. ConclusionAnimal experiments and network pharmacology results confirm that HQJND has a protective effect on acute liver injury in severely burned rats， which may be related to the inhibition of TNF/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the impact of various health education intervention strategies on the proper use of personal respiratory protective equipment (RPE) among workers exposed to dust. Methods Dust-exposed workers were recruited from 60 selected enterprises in Guangdong Province using cluster random sampling method. They were randomly allocated to the control, low-intensity intervention, and high-intensity intervention groups, with 358, 346, and 371 workers in each group, respectively. Workers in the control group received no designed intervention. Workers in the low-intensity intervention group received traditional plus mobile health education on the proper use of RPE. Workers in the high-intensity intervention group received all components of the low-intensity intervention, supplemented with peer education. The intervention lasted for six months. RPE usage was compared among the three groups of workers before and after the intervention. Results Workers in the control, low-intensity intervention, and high-intensity intervention groups showed higher rates of both RPE wearing and correct RPE wearing after the intervention than before it within their respective groups (RPE wearing rate: 94.1% vs 99.2%, 95.7% vs 100.0%, 94.6% vs 100.0%, all P<0.01; correct RPE wearing rate: 66.8% vs 91.1%, 67.3% vs 95.7%, 66.6% vs 96.5%, all P<0.01). Post-intervention correct RPE wearing rates were highest in the high-intensity intervention group, followed by the low-intensity intervention group, and the control group, with the percentage of 96.50%, 95.66% and 91.06%, respectively (P<0.01). Binary logistic regression analysis result showed that different intervention strategies affected the correct use of personal RPE among dust-exposed workers after adjusting for gender, age, and other confounding factors (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the rates of correct RPE use increased in the low-intensity intervention group and the high-intensity intervention group (odd ratio was 2.14 and 3.01; 95% confidence interval was 1.12 - 4.10 and 1.53 - 5.91, respectively). Conclusion The implementation of traditional plus mobile health education interventions on the proper use of RPE can promote correct RPE utilization among dust-exposed workers, and integrating peer education further enhances the intervention effectiveness.

Objective:To observe the current status of the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by the dust working population, and to analyze the factors affecting its use, so as to provide a reference basis for proposing scientific intervention methods.Methods:From October to December 2023, random sampling method was used to conduct a self-designed Questionnaire on the Use of Personal Protective Equipment by the Dust Working Population. A total of 1216 dust workers were randomly selected from each city in Guangdong Province, and their mask wearing status was evaluated. The Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for comparison between measurement data sets, and the Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used for counting data. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the use of PPE in dust workers.Results:The correct rate of wearing PPE in dust working group was 66.12% (804/1216). In univariate analysis, there were statistical significances in different knowledge score, wearing PPE to reduce exposure to dust particles, wearing occupational health protective equipment such as masks was uncomfortable, wearing occupational health protective equipment such as masks reduced work efficiency, attending pre-employment occupational health examination, attending occupational health examination on a regular basis, receiving occupational health training during work in the enterprise, being urged or reminded by workmates, supervisors, or family members to use PPE, the correct use of PPE when workers or shift leaders were exposed to dust particles, second-hand smoke inhalation, smoking, and alcohol consumption ( P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression results showed that gender ( OR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.48-2.72), knowledge score ( OR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.11-1.26), neutral attitude towards the discomfort of wearing occupational health protective equipment such as masks during work ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.18-2.27), and participation in pre-job occupational health examination ( OR=0.23, 95% CI: 0.10-0.54) were the main influencing factors on the use of PPE to be worn correctly ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The rate of correct wearing of PPE for dust working population still needs to be improved. Factors such as gender, knowledge score, neutral attitude towards the discomfort of wearing masks during work, and participation in pre-job occupational health examination may be the influencing factors on the use of PPE for dust working population.

Objective:To analyze the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) among noise-exposed workers and its influencing factors, providing reference information for noise intervention efforts.Methods:In September 2023, a stratified sampling method was employed. Based on the 2022 gross domestic product (GDP) rankings of cities in Guangdong Province, 21 prefecture-level cities were divided into economically developed and less developed groups. Two cities were randomly selected from each group, and 16 to 17 enterprises were randomly chosen from each city as study sites. Twenty workers were included from each enterprise as study subjects. A total of 1200 questionnaires were distributed and collected, and 1099 were valid, with an effective recovery rate of 91.6%. The correctness of hearing protector usage was evaluated according to the GB/T 23466-2009 "Guidelines for the Selection of Hearing Protectors", and the personal attenuation rating values of the workers' hearing protectors were measured. A self-designed Questionnaire on the Use of Hearing Protectors by Noise-Exposed Workers was used to investigate PPE-related usage. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing the correct use of PPE.Results:A total of 429 (39.0%) noise-exposed workers were able to use PPE correctly during work. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, working hours, gender, occupational noise protection knowledge score, whether PPE was checked after use, and the frequency of peer supervision on PPE usage were significant factors influencing the effective use of PPE ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The correct use of PPE by noise-exposed workers still needs to be improved. The level of occupational health education in enterprises should be enhanced to promote the correct use of PPE by noise-exposed workers.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of edema metabolic and hematoma dynamics changes on motor and cog-nitive recovery outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methods The CT data of ICH patients were collected to evaluate hematoma volume changes from admission to day 3.On day 3,multivoxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS)was per-formed with region of interest located in the edema region and contralateral normal tissue.Motor and cognitive function recovery was assessed using the simplified F-M scale and the Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)on day 3 and at the 3-month follow-up,respec-tively.Overall clinical outcomes were assessed using the Glasgow outcome scale(GOS),and all patients were divided into good and poor outcome groups.Clinical data and metabolic differences in the edema region between the two groups were compared,respec-tively.Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to identify and evaluate independent prognostic factors.Subgroup analysis were performed via stratification of hematoma location.Results The logistic regression analy-sis indicated that intraventricular extension,hematoma changes,and the ratio of N-acetyl aspartate(NAA)around the hematoma to contralateral normal brain parenchyma NAA(rNAA)were inde-pendent prognostic factors for poor outcomes(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for each factor and the combined model were 0.69,0.73,0.79,and 0.82,respectively.In patients with ICH in the basal ganglia region,△F-M was negatively correlated with hematoma changes and positively correlated with rNAA value(P＜0.001).In patients with ICH in the thalamic and lobar regions,△MoCA was not significantly correlated with hematoma changes(P＞0.05),but was positively correlated with rNAA value(P＜0.001).Conclusion The rNAA holds predictive value for motor and cognitive recovery outcomes following standard treatment.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified pelvic floor reconstruction in non-nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (NNS RARP) for improving postoperative urinary control. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 79 prostate cancer patients who underwent NNS RARP at Tangdu Hospital during Jan.2020 and Dec.2023, including 29 in the reconstruction group, and 50 in the non-reconstruction group. The baseline characteristics including age, body mass index, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, clinical stage, prostate volume, and biopsy Gleason score, and perioperative indexes including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, catheter indwelling time, complication rate, and positive rate of surgical margins were compared between the two groups. Additionally, urinary continence function was assessed before operation and 1,3,6, and 12 months after operation using the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-short form (ICIQ-SF) and the incontinence quality of life questionnaire score (I-QoL). Results No statistically significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time was significantly longer in the reconstruction group than in the non-reconstruction group [ (110.24±15.08) min vs. (101.80±9.89) min, P=0.010]. There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, catheter indwelling time, complication rate, and positive rate of surgical margins between the two groups (P>0.05). The reconstruction group demonstrated significantly lower ICIQ-SF scores at 1 month [ (10.17±2.16) vs. (11.56±1.66), P=0.002],3 months [ (7.62±1.29) vs. (9.52±1.80), P<0.001], and 6 months postoperatively [ (4.93±1.22) vs. (6.18± 1.67), P=0.001]compared to the non-reconstruction group (adjusted P<0.0125). Conversely, the I-QoL scores were significantly higher in the reconstruction group at 1 month [ (73.32±10.30) vs. (63.88±9.55), P<0.001]and 3 months postoperatively [ (78.91±4.82) vs. (75.66±5.17), P=0.007] (adjusted P<0.0125). However, no significant differences were found in ICIQ-SF or I-QoL scores between the two groups preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively (adjusted P>0.0125). Conclusion The application of modified pelvic floor reconstruction technique in NNS RARP is safe and feasible. Although it slightly prolongs the operation time, it does not increase surgical risks; instead, it effectively promotes early recovery of postoperative urinary continence, thereby significantly enhancing patients'quality of life.

Objective To explore the potential role and underlying mechanism of the functionally uncharacterized gene Gm49394 on regulating β-cell apoptosis under diabetic conditions.Methods The expression and translational activity of Gm49394 in pancreatic β-cell lines and non-β-cell lines were validated using RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization(RNA-FISH),quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR),Western blotting,and immunofluorescence(IF)assay.The β-cell lines(NIT-1/Min6)with Gm49394 overexpression or knockdown were constructed.The proliferation,apoptosis,mitochondrial function,as well as oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers in these β-cell lines under physiological homeostasis or pathological stress conditions,such as high glucose(30 mmol/L),inflammation(10 ng/mL IFN-γ alone or combined with 10 ng/mL IL-6),and hydrogen peroxide(100 μmol/L H2O2)were detected by flow cytometry and Western blotting.Results RNA-FISH and qPCR indicated that Gm49394 was specifically expressed in pancreatic β-cell lines and up-regulated under high glucose or inflammatory stimulation.IF assay and Western blotting showed that Gm49394 had protein-coding activity.Flow cytometry and Western blotting identified that Gm49394 overexpression did not affect β-cell proliferation,but promoted β-cell apoptosis and increased reactive oxygen species(ROS)and mitochondrial superoxide(MitoSOX)levels in β cells under physiological homeostasis or pathological stress conditions(P<0.05).Under physiological conditions,Gm49394 knockdown failed to induce significant alterations on β-cell apoptosis,ROS,or MitoSOX levels.Under pathological stress conditions,Gm49394 knockdown significantly suppressed β-cell proliferation,apoptosis,as well as oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress(P<0.05).Conclusion Gm49394 may promote β-cell apoptosis via oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Objective:To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of silent information regulator 1(SIRT1)on the dysfunction of umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL).Methods:The impact of ox-LDL on the viability of HUVEC was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)assay, which also facilitated the determination of the optimal ox-LDL concentration.Subsequent to ox-LDL treatment, several parameters were evaluated, including reactive oxygen species(ROS)production, apoptosis, migration, and angiogenesis, utilizing a ROS detection kit, flow cytometry, a Transwell migration assay, and an angiogenesis assay, respectively.The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins, namely cleaved caspase-3(c-caspase-3), Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax), B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), SIRT1, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α(PGC-1α), were quantified using Western blot analysis.Adenoviral vectors were employed to either overexpress or silence SIRT1, while the ROS inhibitor N-acetylcysteine(NAC)was applied to assess its effects on cell function.Additionally, PGC-1α acetylation(Ac-Lys)was investigated through co-immunoprecipitation.Results:In the oxidative model of ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs, compared to controls, we observed a significant increase in ROS-positive cells(35.9±3.1 vs.5.4±0.9), heightened apoptosis(16.3±0.9 vs.7.6±0.7), diminished endothelial cell migration capacity, and reduced angiogenic capacity.Additionally, there was an elevation in the pro-apoptotic protein c-caspase3 and Bax, alongside a decrease in the anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2.Furthermore, SIRT1 expression was increased, as was the expression of PGC-1α.In comparison to the GFP group(28.5±1.9), the reduction in SIRT1 expression resulted in an increase in apoptosis(37.0±1.9).Conversely, overexpression of SIRT1 mitigated ox-LDL-induced apoptosis(25.2±1.6)(all P<0.05).Notably, the expression levels of PGC-1α and SIRT1 exhibited consistent changes: PGC-1α expression increased with SIRT1 overexpression and decreased when SIRT1 expression was reduced(both P<0.05).The administration of NAC to the ox-LDL-treated group led to a reduction in ROS production( t=11.18, P<0.01)and a significant enhancement in cell function.Immunoprecipitation results indicated that SIRT1 overexpression decreased ox-LDL-induced PGC-1α acetylation( t=18.18, P<0.01), whereas silencing of SIRT1 further increased PGC-1α acetylation levels( t=-19.09, P<0.01). Conclusions:SIRT1 is shown to protect against ox-LDL-induced apoptosis and dysfunction in HUVECs by deacetylating and activating PGC-1α, thereby highlighting its therapeutic potential in the context of endothelial cell injury.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of different radiotherapy doses in treating esophageal squamous carcinoma(ESCC)patients aged ≥80 years.Methods:This retrospective study collected clinical data from ESCC patients aged ≥80 years who underwent radiotherapy at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2016 to September 2021.Observation variables included overall survival(OS), progression free survival(PFS), complete response(CR), partial response(PR), stable disease(SD), progressive disease(PD), and adverse reactions.Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared via log-rank tests.Cox regression models were employed for multivariate analysis.Results:A total of 165 patients who met the enrollment criteria were included in this study, including 88(88/165, 53.3%)males and 77(77/165, 46.7%)females, age 80 to 100 years(median age 83 years), 66 cases(66/165, 40.0%)in the radiotherapy dose ≥60 Gy group and 99 cases(99/165, 60.0%)in the <60 Gy group.Of the 165 patients, the effective rate was 71.5%(118/165).The median overall survival(OS)of the whole group was 19.0 months, The median Progression Free Survival(PFS)for the whole group was 13 months.The results showed that radiotherapy dose, lesion length, Nutritional Risk Index(NRI), eating condition, recurrence/progression and chemotherapy were factors influencing OS.The survival of patients in the ≥60 Gy group, ≤5 cm group, well-nourished group(NRI ≥45)group, soft diet and general diet group and combined chemotherapy group is better.Cox multivariate analysis revealed that radiotherapy, dose eating condition and the lesion length were independent prognostic factors for OS.The OS rate of the radiation therapy group with a dose of ≥ 60 Gy was better than that of the<60 Gy group( P=0.001), the OS of the general or soft diet group was better than that of the semi liquid or liquid diet group( P=0.008), and the OS of the lesion length ≤ 5 cm group was better than that of the>5 cm group( P=0.020).The incidence rates of radiation-induced esophagitis, myelosuppression, radiation pneumonia, and gastrointestinal reactions in the entire group were 60.0%(99/165), 12.1%(20/165), 22.4%(37/165), and 14.5%(24/165), respectively.51.5%(85/165)of the group experienced local recurrence, 10.3%(17/165)had distant organ metastasis, and 9.1%(15/165)had non regional lymph node metastasis.As of the follow-up date, there were a total of 99 deaths in the entire group. Conclusions:For patients aged 80 years or older with esophageal cancer, higher radiation doses, better feeding and nutritional status have more beneficial for prolonged survival.Local recurrence remains the main reason for treatment failure in elderly patients with esophageal cancer.
