The patient's vital signs were stable, only presenting hyperkinetic syndrome with muscle tension due to limb twitching.

Translation: The patient's vital signs were stable, only exhibiting a hyperkinetic syndrome with muscle tension due to limb twitching. On examination, psychiatric symptoms were not obvious, while tardive dyskinesia presented with the "oral‑lingual‑buccal triad" such as sucking, tongue‑licking, and chewing, which were relatively mild.

We need to keep terms: "hyperkinetic syndrome" maybe not in glossary but okay. "muscle tension" corresponds to muscle tension. "Tardive dyskinesia" is tardive dyskinesia. "oral‑lingual‑buccal triad" is oral-lingual-buccal triad. We'll translate.

The patient's symptoms are mild; no need for medication adjustment or special antagonistic treatment—just stop taking the stomach medication and it'll be fine.

Translation: Zheng Ren exchanged a few more words with Mu Tao, glanced at the time, didn't let Mu Tao see him off, hailed a car, and rushed to the airport with Professor Feng Xu Hui to meet Su Yun.

"It's Zheng Ren Zheng Lao Ban, a Nobel Prize nominee," Mu Tao said.

Translation: "It's Zheng Ren Zheng Lao Ban, a nominee for the Nobel Prize project." Mu Tao said.

We need to keep Zheng Ren Zheng Lao Ban? Actually the name is Zheng Ren, and also Zheng Lao Ban is a nickname? The glossary gives both Zheng Ren and Zheng Lao Ban as separate entries. The line says Zheng Ren Zheng Lao Ban. Likely they mean Zheng Ren, Zheng Lao Ban (i. e., Zheng Ren, the boss). We should output both as per glossary: Zheng Ren Zheng Lao Ban. Keep space? Probably "Zheng Ren Zheng Lao Ban". We'll follow.

How can this sound so unreliable?
