AI Article Synopsis

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history and is effective for many illnesses, but its diagnosis lacks objective standards.
  • Ongoing advancements in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) present opportunities to modernize TCM, particularly through applications in areas like tongue and pulse diagnosis.
  • This review highlights the integration of ML and DL in TCM, discusses successful applications, and addresses the challenges faced in further developing TCM with these technologies.

Article Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years and has been proven to be effective at treating many complicated illnesses with minimal side effects. The application and advancement of TCM are, however, constrained by the absence of objective measuring standards due to its relatively abstract diagnostic methods and syndrome differentiation theories. Ongoing developments in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), specifically in computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP), offer novel opportunities to modernize TCM by exploring the profound connotations of its theory. This review begins with an overview of the ML and DL methods employed in TCM; this is followed by practical instances of these applications. Furthermore, extensive discussions emphasize the mature integration of ML and DL in TCM, such as tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, and syndrome differentiation treatment, highlighting their early successful application in the TCM field. Finally, this study validates the accomplishments and addresses the problems and challenges posed by the application and development of TCM powered by ML and DL. As ML and DL techniques continue to evolve, modern technology will spark new advances in TCM.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a significant predictor of the early progression of Alzheimer's disease, and it can be used as an important indicator of disease progression. However, many existing methods focus mainly on the image itself when processing brain imaging data, ignoring other non-imaging data (e.g.

Evidence for a metal-bosonic insulator-superconductor transition in compressed sulfur.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

State Key Laboratory of Superhard Materials, College of Physics, Jilin University, Changchun 130012, China.

The abrupt drop of resistance to zero at a critical temperature is a key signature of the current paradigm of the metal-superconductor transition. However, the emergence of an intermediate bosonic insulating state characterized by a resistance peak preceding the onset of the superconducting transition has challenged this traditional understanding. Notably, this phenomenon has been predominantly observed in disordered or chemically doped low-dimensional systems, raising intriguing questions about the generality of the effect and its underlying fundamental physics.

Bridging thrombolysis versus direct endovascular treatment in acute vertebrobasilar artery complex occlusion.

J Neurosurg

January 2025

1Department of Neurology, Centre for Leading Medicine and Advanced Technologies of IHM, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui.

Objective: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is an effective treatment for patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery complex occlusion (VBAO). However, the benefit of bridging thrombolysis prior to EVT remains controversial. The purpose of the present study is to explore the best treatment strategy between bridging treatment (BT) and direct EVT in patients with acute VBAO.

Prediction of Thermodynamic Properties of C-Based Fullerenols Using Machine Learning.

J Chem Theory Comput

January 2025

Guizhou Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Chemical Drug R&D, School of Pharmacy, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang, Guizhou 550025, P. R. China.

Traditional machine learning methods face significant challenges in predicting the properties of highly symmetric molecules. In this study, we developed a machine learning model based on graph neural networks (GNNs) to accurately and swiftly predict the thermodynamic and photochemical properties of fullerenols, such as C(OH) ( = 1 to 30). First, we established a global method for generating fullerenol isomers through isomer fingerprinting, which can generate all possible isomers or produce diverse structural types on demand.
