DNA-based data storage has emerged as a groundbreaking solution to the growing demand for efficient, high-density, and long-term data storage. It is attracting many researchers' attention, who are implementing functions such as random access, searching, and data operations apart from the existing capabilities, including reading and writing. We summarize the recent progress of how biotechnological tools, based on sequence specificity, encapsulation, and high-dimensional structures of DNA molecules, facilitate the implementation of various functions. The limitations of using biochemical reactions that hinder the development of more precise and efficient information storage systems are also discussed. Future advancements in molecular biology and nanotechnology are expected to improve the architecture, scalability, and efficiency of DNA storage, positioning it as a sustainable and dynamic alternative to conventional data storage systems.

Large Language Model-Based Critical Care Big Data Deployment and Extraction: Descriptive Analysis.

JMIR Med Inform

March 2025

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, No.119 Nansihuanxi Road, Fengtai District, Beijing, 100070, China, 86 17611757717.

Background: Publicly accessible critical care-related databases contain enormous clinical data, but their utilization often requires advanced programming skills. The growing complexity of large databases and unstructured data presents challenges for clinicians who need programming or data analysis expertise to utilize these systems directly.

Objective: This study aims to simplify critical care-related database deployment and extraction via large language models.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Observational studies have shown correlations between common extrapulmonary comorbidities and COPD, but the existence of correlations does not necessarily prove a causal association. Therefore, causal relationships between diseases need to be explored by means of causal inference methods.

Purpose: Following the relatively recent introduction of single-inhaler triple therapies in Japan, this study compared the effectiveness of switching from multiple-inhaler triple therapy (MITT) to once-daily fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) by investigating COPD exacerbations and adherence among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Japan.

Methods: This retrospective, pre-post cohort study using the Medical Data Vision Co. Ltd database identified patients with ≥1 inpatient diagnosis and/or ≥2 outpatient diagnoses of COPD at age ≥40 years prior to the index date (first/earliest date of single-inhaler FF/UMEC/VI initiation from May 1, 2019-February 28, 2022, following a switch from MITT).

Identification and Experimental Validation of Biomarkers Related to MiR-125a-5p in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis

March 2025

Department of General Medical, Shanxi Bethune Hospital, Shanxi Academy of Medical Sciences, Tongji Shanxi Hospital, Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: The miR-125a-5p has been reported influence the development of lung cancer, however, the link between it and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is still not well understood. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the molecular pathway by which miR-125a-5p related biomarkers were involved in COPD.

Patients And Methods: The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and module genes related to COPD in GSE100153 were screened out by differential analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis, respectively.

Accurate data linkage across large administrative databases is crucial for addressing complex research and policy questions, yet linkage errors-stemming from inconsistent name representations-can introduce biases, predominantly for names not given in English. This data note examines the impact of romanisation on linkage accuracy, focusing on Chinese names and comparing standardised systems (Jyutping and Pinyin) with the non-standardised Hong Kong Government Cantonese Romanisation (HKG-romanisation). We identify three primary issues: language-specific variations in romanisation, the loss of tonal information inherent to tonal languages, and discrepancies in name order conventions.
