Article Abstract
Uncertainty is a central feature of the novel coronavirus era and a primary cause of stress and anxiety. Understanding the uncertainties that people are experiencing is important to provide support and help them cope; it is also a valuable opportunity to contribute to health communication theory. Guided by the Tripartite Model of Uncertainty (TMU), this project was designed to examine different forms of uncertainty that the COVID-19 pandemic created. Interviews were conducted with 62 individuals. Findings provide some support for the TMU, in that medical and personal uncertainty were salient to people's lives during the pandemic. Findings also indicated prospects for expanding the TMU to reflect (a) systems uncertainty and (b) deeply intertwined medical-social uncertainties that may be unique to this particular type of health crisis.

Automated Literature Screening for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment Through Integration of 3 Large Language Models: Methodological Study.

Background: Primary liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses significant clinical challenges due to late-stage diagnosis, tumor heterogeneity, and rapidly evolving therapeutic strategies. While systematic reviews and meta-analyses are essential for updating clinical guidelines, their labor-intensive nature limits timely evidence synthesis.
Objective: This study proposes an automated literature screening workflow powered by large language models (LLMs) to accelerate evidence synthesis for HCC treatment guidelines.

Mounting evidence indicates that viruses exploit elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels to promote replication and pathogenesis, yet the mechanistic underpinnings of this viral strategy remain elusive for many viral systems. This study uncovers a sophisticated viral counter-defense mechanism in the Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1)-Fusarium graminearum system, where the viral p29 protein subverts host redox homeostasis to overcome antiviral responses. That p29 directly interacts with and inhibits the enzymatic activity of fungal NAD(P)H-dependent FMN reductase 1 (FMR1), leading to increased ROS accumulation and subsequent autophagy activation is demonstrated.

In the complex pathological context of mixed pain, where nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic mechanisms coexist and interact, we present an innovative diagnostic and therapeutic model for refractory chronic scrotal pain (CSP) in a 49-year-old man. The pain originated from pudendal nerve entrapment secondary to piriformis scarring. Comprehensive evaluation revealed mixed pain mechanisms: neuropathic (lancinating pain, S2-S4 dermatomal hypoesthesia, and MRI-confirmed nerve compression), nociceptive (MRI-documented proven inflammation and mechanical stress exacerbation), and nociplastic (central sensitization with prolonged pain duration and psychological comorbidities).

This study explores the integration of traditional Chinese "Fu" culture into the moral education system for students with disabilities across K-12 and higher education through artificial intelligence. By leveraging soft computing to handle cultural ambiguities, it constructs an adaptive educational framework that aligns students' cognitive characteristics with curriculum demands, thereby enhancing their identification with Chinese culture. Guided by the theory of the "Second Combination," the research employs AI-powered soft computing to analyze the semantic and cognitive dimensions of "Fu" culture.

Preeclampsia (PE) involves complex metabolic-inflammatory interactions, yet the mechanistic links among glycolysis, protein lactylation, and pyroptosis in placental pathogenesis remain undefined. In this study, we explore their tripartite relationship with PE development by combining bioinformatics analysis of PE-associated transcriptomes with experimental validation using placental tissues from PE patients and healthy controls. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we utilize models involving hypoxic endothelial cell cultures, pharmacological glycolysis inhibition via 2-deoxyglucose, and genetic modulation of hexokinase 2 (HK2) expressions through siRNA silencing and plasmid-based overexpression.
