The integration of large language model (LLM) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) promotes the informatization of TCM,and also provides a new direction for the inheritance and innovation of TCM in the new era. Based on the research background of LLM,the development process of LLM based on the Transformer architecture is summarized,and the research progress of LLM in TCM is reviewed. The main process of constructing TCM LLMs and the key techniques used by researchers during model development are summarized. Based on the related literature, the main application scenarios of TCM LLMs and the research explorations conducted by TCM researchers using LLMs are outlined. Meanwhile,the current challenges faced in the development of TCM LLMs are analyzed. Further improvements are urgently needed in the construction of high-quality data,the evaluation methodology of TCM LLMs,the interpretability of the model, multimodal fusion of TCM LLMs, and the development of TCM prescription recommendation models. Looking forward to the future development of LLM in TCM,it is expected to provide a reference for the deeper integration of LLMs and TCM,and facilitate the modernization of TCM.

Purpose To investigate the clinical,imaging,and pathological features of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease(KFD).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 123 pathologically confirmed KFD cases.Clinical and imaging data were collected,and histopathological features were evaluated using HE staining,immunohistochemistry,in situ hybridization for EBER,and molecular analyses(TCR/Ig gene rearrangements by PCR with capillary electro-phoresis).Results Among the 123 patients,the male-to-female ratio was 1∶2,with a median age of 30 years.All patients presented with lymphadenopathy.Among 30 hospitalized patients,63.3%(19/30)had fever,and 23.3%(7/30)had concurrent autoimmune diseases.Of the 12 patients who underwent PET-CT,91.7%(11/12)were sus-pected of malignancy,prompting biopsy recommendations.Among 47 consultation cases,27.7%(13/47)were ini-tially misdiagnosed as lymphoma.Histopathological examination revealed proliferative,necrotic,and xanthomatous phases,which coexisted or occurred independently.The proliferative phase was characterized by atypical lymphocytes and histiocytes,the necrotic phase by abundant eosinophilic fibrin deposits and nuclear debris,and the xanthomatous phase by clusters of foam-like histiocytes.Immunohistochemically analyses revealed that atypical lymphocytes were neg-ative for CD20,CD4,and CD56 but positive for CD3,CD8,TIA1,Granzyme B,and Perforin.Histiocytes expressed CD68,CD163,and MPO,while CD123-positive plasmacytoid dendritic cells were predominantly located around the le-sions and blood vessels.EBER was positive in individual cells in 4 cases.TCR gene rearrangement was positive in 2 cases and suspected positive in 3 cases,while Ig rearrangement was positive and suspected positive in 1 case each.Conclusion KFD exhibits clinical,imaging,and pathological features that can mimic lymphoma,highlighting the im-portance of accurate diagnosis to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

Objective To detect the expression of FoxO1 and FoxO3a in liver and muscle tissue from KKAy diabetic mice.Methods Study group consists of 7 KKAy diabetic mice until 12 weeks,thereafter fed high fat diet for 4 weeks.It was diagnosed as diabetes when blood glucose was more than(16.7 mmol/L) in two consequent weeks.Control group consists of 7 C57BL mice 16 week old.Dispatched the mice and took quadriceps of femoris muscle and liver tissue to detect the FoxO1 and FoxO3a protein expression by Western blot with antibody.Results Liver and muscle FoxO1 expression was higher in KKAy diabetic mice than that in C57BL mice.FoxO3a expression was much higher in liver than in muscle in both groups.Muscle FoxO3a expression was higher in KKAy diabetic mice than that in control mice.Conclusion FoxO1 and FoxO3a in liver and muscle expressed differently in diabetic mice and control mice.They may play a role in mechanisms of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
