In the context of the rapid development of 5G technology， the development of artificial intelligence （AI） in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） faces new opportunities and challenges. Focusing on how to uphold tradition while innovating in the development of AI in TCM， starting from the current development status of AI in Chinese medicine， including the integration of four diagnostic methods， syndrome differentiation and treatment， auxiliary diagnosis and treatment， research and development of Chinese herbal medicine， prevention and treatment of diseases， knowledge inheritance， and other aspects， this paper discussed the support of policies and technical advancements， as well as development opportunities such as increased demand for health. Regarding machine ethics， data ethics， regulatory review， and other aspects， it also proposed some suggestions that the training algorithm should be improved to assist medical work； data ownership should be clarified to ensure data security； and an AI ethics committee should be set up to improve the review system， aiming to maximize the advantages of smart healthcare and accelerate the modernization of TCM for the benefit of patients and the service of human health.

AIM: To design and construct recombinant epitope nucleotides vaccine of glycoprotein B(gB)and glycoprotein D(gD)of herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1), and to investigate its immunoprotective effects and tissue expression in animal models.METHODS: The HSV-1 gB and gD epitope genes were selected and tandem assembled to construct the recombinant protein-coding gene X, which was transducted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28(a). The recombinant protein was synthesized and utilized to generate monoclonal antibodies, which were subsequently used to immunize New Zealand white rabbits. The immunogenicity of the purified protein and the presence of polyclonal antibodies in the serum were tested through separating serum from cardiac blood, and the serum antibody titers were determined. The pcDNA3.1-X was successfully constructed as a eukaryotic expression vector and immunized the female BALB/c mice aged 4 to 6 wk via intramuscular injection. Serum antibodies and immune-related cytokines were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expression of the X protein in the ocular, trigeminal ganglion, and brain tissues of the mice was assessed.RESULTS: The target polyclonal antibody was identified with a serum antibody titer of 1:3200 in the rabbit serum after immunized by recombinant protein X. Upon immunizing mice with the eukaryotic recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-X, the concentration of HSV-1 serum IgM antibodies of the experimental group was 12.13±0.85 ng/L, which was significantly higher than that of the vector control group(0.49±0.44 ng/L; t=21.07, P<0.001). The concentrations of cytokines interleukin IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-γ in the experimental group were 11.63±0.60, 22.65±1.47, 85.75±14.12, and 114.90±6.39 ng/L, respectively, all of which were significantly higher than those in the vector control group and the blank control group(all P<0.05). Immunohistochemical staining revealed the presence of target protein X in the eyeball, trigeminal ganglion, and brain tissue.CONCLUSION: The HSV-1 gB and gD tandem epitope nucleotides vaccine pcDNA3.1-X was successfully constructed, which activates a remarkable immune response and is stably expressed in the eyeball, trigeminal ganglion, and brain tissue. This study provides a foundation for further research of an HSV-1 recombinant antigen epitope tandem vaccine.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of Shexiang Baoxinwan in treating stable angina pectoris with Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome in patients with coronary artery disease （CAD） complicated with anxiety and depression and explore its underlying mechanisms. MethodsThis study employed a randomized， double-blind， and placebo-controlled clinical trial design. Patients admitted to the hospital were randomly assigned to the observation group and the control group， with 52 patients in each group. Patients in the observation and control groups received Shexiang Baoxinwan and placebo， respectively， both in combination with conventional Western medication. The dose was 45.0 mg， three times daily， for a total duration of eight weeks. The primary outcome was the Seattle Angina Questionnaire （SAQ） scores before and after treatment. Secondary outcomes included changes in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score， the patient health questionnaire-9 （PHQ-9）， generalized anxiety disorder-7 （GAD-7）， inflammatory markers ［interleukin-18 （IL-18）， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， CD40， etc.］， monoamine neurotransmitters ［e.g.， dopamine （DA）］， vascular endothelial function markers ［e.g.， endothelin-1（ET-1）］， adipokines， and ischemia-modified albumin （IMA）. Adverse reactions were also recorded. ResultsA total of 92 patients completed the study， with 44 in the observation group and 48 in the control group. Compared with baseline， both groups showed significant decreases in PHQ-9， GAD-7， and TCM syndrome scores following treatment （P<0.05）， along with a significant increase in SAQ scores （P<0.05）. In the observation group， DA levels were significantly increased （P<0.05）， while levels of IL-18， TNF-α， CD40， ET-1， and IMA were decreased （P<0.05）. In contrast， the control group exhibited significantly increased CD40 levels （P<0.05）.

Objective: To examine the reciprocal relationships of anxiety and depressive symptoms,uncertainty stress with academic buoyancy among college students, providing evidence for mental health promotion and academic resilience enhancement. Methods: A multi stage cluster random sampling method was used to selected 741 undergraduates from grade 1 to 2 of a university in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. Participants completed two waves of surveys (T1: October 2022; T2: October 2023) using the Uncertainty Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Academic Buoyancy Scale. Cross lagged models analyzed bidirectional relationships between three mental health variables and academic buoyancy, followed by latent variable modeling integrating all mental health dimensions. Results: Cross lagged model results revealed that T1 uncertainty stress negatively predicted T2 academic buoyancy ( β =-0.14), while T1 academic buoyancy negatively predicted T2 uncertainty stress ( β =-0.11); T1 depressive symptom negatively predicted T2 academic buoyancy ( β =-0.08), while T1 academic buoyancy negatively predicted T2 depressive symptom ( β =-0.09); furthermore, T1 academic buoyancy negatively predicted T2 anxiety symptom( β =-0.10) ( P <0.05). Results from the latent variable cross lagged model of psychological problems (constructed from the three mental health variables) indicated that T1 psychological problems negatively predicted T2 academic buoyancy ( β =-0.09), while T1 academic buoyancy negatively predicted T2 psychological problems ( β =-0.09) ( P <0.05). Conclusions Longitudinal bidirectional relationships exist between mental health status and academic buoyancy in college students. Better mental health facilitates higher academic buoyancy.

This article summarizes Academician WANG Yongyan′s experience in the differentiation and treatment of motor neuron disease, which can be categorized into flaccidity syndrome, convulsive syndrome, and fei syndrome according to the clinical manifestations. These three syndromes may coexist, and the condition progressively worsens over time, which is believed to be caused by external pathogenic qi, based on "deficient-qi induced stagnation" , and with "toxins damaging collaterals" as the core etiology and pathogenesis. "Toxins damaging collaterals" involves three levels of qi collaterals, blood collaterals, and fluid collaterals, gradually overlapping and affecting the marrow collaterals. Academician WANG Yongyan′s theory is based on syndrome differentiation, breaking down the boundaries of flaccidity, convulsive, and fei syndromes according to different manifestations of the disease, and using the concept of "combined treatment" for treatment. The clinical presentation of motor neuron disease shows a bottom-up trend in the development of the sanjiao, and the combination of visceral syndrome differentiation and sanjiao syndrome differentiation can grasp the progress of the disease comprehensively. During the process of syndrome differentiation, the focus is on the use of xiang thinking, emphasizing the holistic correlation between diseases and syndromes and the integrated effect of reductionist analysis. Treatment is based on xiang differentiation and individualized treatment. The mid-stage of motor neuron disease is the key time point for the treatment of this disease. Based on the clinical symptoms of flaccidity, convulsive, and fei syndromes, where treatment should focus on reinforcing the spleen and kidney, combining moxibustion with herbal medicine. While targeting the disease, treatment should comprehensively apply the methods of "promoting, supplementing, softening, and warming" to eliminate toxins and unblock collaterals, and restore the neural regulation of the brain and spinal cord.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS） among female college students at a university in Fuzhou City， Jiangxi Province， and to facilitate early detection and intervention of PCOS. MethodsUsing a stratified sampling method， a total of 450 female freshmen were randomly selected for PCOS screening. A self-designed questionnaire was used for data collection， covering menstrual status， high androgen signs， lifestyle， dietary habits， and awareness of PCOS. Sample t test and χ² test were used to compare the basic information and dietary habits between PCOS and non-PCOS cases. The correlation between various indicators and the prevalence of PCOS was analyzed by a logistic regression model. ResultsA total of 12 PCOS cases were identified， with a prevalence rate of 2.99%. PCOS cases exhibited statistically significant differences compared to non-PCOS cases in terms of waist-to-hip ratio， waist circumference， abdominal obesity， the proportion of overweight or obese individuals， and a preference for sweet food （all P<0.05）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between preference for sweet food and the occurrence of PCOS （OR=4.858， 95%CI=1.199‒19.675，P=0.027）， as well as a significant correlation with PCOS accompanied by abdominal obesity （OR=7.083， 95%CI=0.773‒64.937， P=0.048）. Among the female college students surveyed， 37.90% had never heard of PCOS， 51.62% were only familiar with the name of the disease， and 10.47% had attempted to search for PCOS-related information. ConclusionThe prevalence of PCOS among female college students should not be overlooked and unhealthy dietary habits may be a crucial factor contributing to the occurrence of PCOS during this period. Early screening for PCOS during puberty is crucial.

With the optimization of surgical technologies and postoperative management regimens, the number of lung transplantation has been significantly increased, which has become an important treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, due to the impact of comprehensive factors, such as bronchial ischemia and immunosuppression, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation is relatively high, which severely affects postoperative survival and quality of life of lung transplant recipients. In recent years, with the improvement of perioperative management, organ preservation and surgical technologies, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation has been declined, but it remains at a high level. Early diagnosis and timely intervention play a significant role in enhancing clinical prognosis of patients with airway stenosis. In this article, the general conditions, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of airway stenosis after lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for comprehensive management of airway stenosis after lung transplantation and improving clinical prognosis of lung transplant recipients.

Objective We aimed to compared matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in synovial fluid,the phosphorylation level of Smad3 in articular cartilage (P-Smad3),and their correlation with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) patterns in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) of liver-kidney deficiency pattern and pattern of intermingled phlegm and blood stasis.Methods Using a cross-sectional field investigation method,KOA patients hospitalized in the Orthopedics Department of Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from September 2019 to February 2023 were collected. A total of 112 KOA patients were included,among which 63 cases were diagnosed with liver-kidney deficiency pattern,and 49 cases were diagnosed with pattern of intermingled phlegm and blood stasis. The intensity of knee pain,function,and X-ray imaging result were quantified using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS),Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale,and Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) Grading Scale,respectively. The TCM pattern was identified and quantified using a TCM Pattern Scoring Scale. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the phosphorylation characteristics of Smad3 in articular cartilage,and ELISA was used to measure the contents of MMP-13 and TGF-β1 in synovial fluid. The level characteristics and their correlation with the degree of syndrome were analyzed.Results (i) There was no statistically significant difference in VAS scores,Lysholm scores,and K-L grades between KOA patients with different TCM patterns. (ii) Compared with KOA patients with pattern of intermingled phlegm and blood stasis,patients with pattern of liver-kidney deficiency had higher levels of MMP-13 in synovial fluid and lower levels of TGF-β1 in synovial fluid (P<0.05). (iii) In KOA patients with liver-kidney deficiency pattern,there was a positive correlation between the level of MMP-13 in synovial fluid and the score of TCM pattern (r=0.292,P=0.020),while there was a negative correlation between the level of TGF-β1 in synovial fluid and the score of TCM pattern (r=-0.781,P<0.001). In KOA patients with pattern of intermingled phlegm and blood stasis,there was also a positive correlation between the level of MMP-13 in synovial fluid and the score of TCM pattern (r=0.936,P<0.001). (iv) The mean optical density value of P-Smad3 in articular cartilage was lower in KOA patients with liver-kidney deficiency pattern than in pattern of intermingled phlegm and blood stasis (P<0.05).Conclusion KOA patients with liver-kidney deficiency pattern or pattern of intermingled phlegm and blood stasis have different levels of TGF-β1 and MMP-13 in synovial fluid,as well as varying degrees of Smad3 phosphorylation in articular cartilage,which is consistent with the analysis of etiology and pathogenesis under different patterns. The levels of TGF-β1 and MMP-13 in synovial fluid of patients with liver-kidney deficiency pattern can reflect the severity of the pattern to a certain extent,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the activation level of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. This study enriches the research content of the material basis of TCM patterns.
