Chinese medicine (CM) diagnosis intellectualization is one of the hotspots in the research of CM modernization. The traditional CM intelligent diagnosis models transform the CM diagnosis issues into classification issues, however, it is difficult to solve the problems such as excessive or similar categories. With the development of natural language processing techniques, text generation technique has become increasingly mature. In this study, we aimed to establish the CM diagnosis generation model by transforming the CM diagnosis issues into text generation issues. The semantic context characteristic learning capacity was enhanced referring to Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BILSTM) with Transformer as the backbone network. Meanwhile, the CM diagnosis generation model Knowledge Graph Enhanced Transformer (KGET) was established by introducing the knowledge in medical field to enhance the inferential capability. The KGET model was established based on 566 CM case texts, and was compared with the classic text generation models including Long Short-Term Memory sequence-to-sequence (LSTM-seq2seq), Bidirectional and Auto-Regression Transformer (BART), and Chinese Pre-trained Unbalanced Transformer (CPT), so as to analyze the model manifestations. Finally, the ablation experiments were performed to explore the influence of the optimized part on the KGET model. The results of Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU), Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation 1 (ROUGE1), ROUGE2 and Edit distance of KGET model were 45.85, 73.93, 54.59 and 7.12, respectively in this study. Compared with LSTM-seq2seq, BART and CPT models, the KGET model was higher in BLEU, ROUGE1 and ROUGE2 by 6.00-17.09, 1.65-9.39 and 0.51-17.62, respectively, and lower in Edit distance by 0.47-3.21. The ablation experiment results revealed that introduction of BILSTM model and prior knowledge could significantly increase the model performance. Additionally, the manual assessment indicated that the CM diagnosis results of the KGET model used in this study were highly consistent with the practical diagnosis results. In conclusion, text generation technology can be effectively applied to CM diagnostic modeling. It can effectively avoid the problem of poor diagnostic performance caused by excessive and similar categories in traditional CM diagnostic classification models. CM diagnostic text generation technology has broad application prospects in the future.

Exploring the risk "time interval window" of sequential medication of Reduning injection (RDN) and penicillin G injection (PG) by detecting the correlation between serum biochemical indexes and plasma metabonomic characteristics, in order to reduce the risk of adverse reactions caused by the combination of RDN and PG. All animal experiments and welfare are in accordance with the requirements of the First Affiliated Experimental Animal Ethics and Animal Welfare Committee of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: YFYDW2020002). The changes of biochemical indexes in serum of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It was determined that RDN combined with PG could cause pseudo-allergic reactions (PARs) activated by complement pathway. Further investigation was carried out at different time intervals (1.5, 2, 3.5, 4, 6, and 8 h PG+RDN). It was found that sequential administration within 3.5 h could cause significant PARs. However, PARs were significantly reduced after administration interval of more than 4 h. LC-MS was used for plasma metabolomics analysis, and the levels of serum biochemical indicators and plasma metabolic profile characteristics were compared in parallel. 22 differential metabolites showed similar or opposite trends to biochemical indicators before and after 3.5 h. And enriched to 10 PARs-related pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, linoleic acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism. In conclusion, there is a risk "time interval window" phenomenon in the adverse drug reactions caused by the sequential use of RDN and PG, and the interval medication after the "time interval window" can significantly reduce the risk of adverse reactions.

Objective Aberrant expression of ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1(ABCB1)plays a key role in several cancers.However,influence of G protein coupled receptor family C group 5 type A(GPRC5A)-regulated ABCB1 expression on lung adenocarcinoma proliferation remains unclear.Therefore,this study investigated the effect of GPRC5A regulated ABCB1 expression on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma. Methods ABCB1 expressions in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines,human lung adenocarcinoma tissues,and tracheal epithelial cells and lung tissues of GPRC5A knockout mice and wild-type mice were analyzed with RT-PCR,Western blot,or immunohistochemical analysis.Cell counting kit-8 assay was performed to analyze the sensitivity of tracheal epithelial cells from GPRC5A knockout mice to chemotherapeutic agents.Subcutaneous tumor formation assay was performed to confirm whether down-regulation of ABCB 1 could inhibit the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma in vivo.To verify the potential regulatory relationship between GPRC5A and ABCB1,immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation assays were performed. Results ABCB1 expression was up-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and human lung adenocarcinoma tissues.ABCB1 expression in the tracheal epithelial cells and lung tissues of GPRC5A deficient mice was higher than that in the wild type mice.Tracheal epithelial cells of GPRC5A knockout mice were much more sensitive to tariquidar and doxorubicin than those of GPRC5A wild type mice.Accordingly,28 days after injection of the transplanted cells,the volume and weight of lung tumor in ABCB1 knockout cell-transplanted GPRC5A-/-C57BL/6 mice were significantly smaller than those in wild type cell-transplanted mice(P=0.0043,P=0.0060).Furthermore,immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation assays showed that GPRC5A regulated ABCB1 expression by direct binding. Conclusion GPRC5A reduces lung adenocarcinoma proliferation via inhibiting ABCB1 expression.The pathway by which GPRC5A regulates ABCB1 expression needs to be investigated.
