ObjectiveTo investigate the serum tumor markers level of carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) ,cytokeratin fragment antigen21-1 (CYFRA21-1),neuron specific enolase (NSE) in patients with lung cancer, and the change after chemotherapy on them. Methods Radioimmunoassay was applied to detect the levels of CEA, CYFRA21-1 ,NSE in 45 patients with advanced NSCLC before and after chemotherapy,and the tumor markers were also detected in 20 patients with SCLC and 20 patients with benign lung diseases of control groups. ResultsThe levels of CEA, CYFRA21-1, NSE in lung cancer group before chemotherapy were much higher than benign group, but there was no difference of CYFRA21-1 between the SCLC group and benign group. The same result of NSE was found between NSCLC and benign group(P >0. 05). The value of NSE was lower in the patients with SCLC after chemotherapy than before(P <0. 01 ). The level of CYFRA21-1 was lower in squamous carcinoma than before( P <0. 01 ). But in the adenocarcinoma group only NSE's level was lower after chemotherapy( P >0. 05) ,there were no differences in CEA and CYFRA21-1 ( P > 0. 05 ). ConclusionThe levels of the three tumor markers rise obviously in advanced NSCLC and decrease after chemotherapy. The differences were significant with NSE in SCLC and CYFRA21-1 in squamous cell carcinoma and CEA in adenocarcinoma. The levels of serum CEA,CYFRA21-1 and NSE could be a tumor marker in progressive lung cancer. And the decrease of the levels could be used to evaluate the chemotherapeutic response respectively in different pathologic types of lung cancer.

Objective To evaluate the suitability of reported standard liver volume formulae for Chinese adults based on the practice of 216 cases of living donor liver transplantation in our transplantation center. Methods The graft volume was preoperatively estimated in 179 adult-to-adult right liver living donors by two methods: first, the radiological right liver volume by computed tomography (CT) and second,calculated graft volume obtained by reported standard liver volume formula and the percentage of the right liver volume ( given by CT). Both results were compared to the actual graft volume measured during surgery.Results The mean percentage of right liver volume was 55.4% (SD 5.41%). The results of Urata、Heinemann、Vauthey、 Lee、 Yoshizumi formula were significantly larger than the actual right liver volume (P <0. 01 ). The result of Sheung-tat Fan was less than the actual right liver volume, there was statistical ESLV =334. 024 + 11. 508 × BW, is most suitable to estimate adult Chinese donor's right liver volume.

The development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment has undergone multiple paradigms, evolving from sporadic experiential practices to systematic approaches in syndrome differentiation and treatment and further integration of disease and syndrome frameworks. TCM is a vital component of the medical system, valued alongside Western medicine. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation embodies both personalized treatment and holistic approaches; however, the inconsistency and lack of stability in syndrome differentiation limit clinical efficacy. The existing integration of diseases and syndromes primarily relies on patchwork and embedded systems, where the full advantages of synergy between Chinese and Western medicine are not fully realized. Recently, driven by the development of diagnosis and treatment concepts and advances in analytical technology, Western medicine has been rapidly transforming from a traditional biological model to a precision medicine model. TCM faces a similar need to progress beyond traditional syndrome differentiation and disease-syndrome integration toward a more precise diagnosis and treatment paradigm. Unlike the micro-level precision trend of Western medicine, precision diagnosis and treatment in TCM is primarily reflected in data-driven applications that incorporate information at various levels, including precise syndrome differentiation, medication, disease management, and efficacy evaluation. The current priority is to accelerate the development of TCM precision diagnosis and treatment technology platforms and advance discipline construction in this area.

The experience of famous and veteran physicians in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a supplement to the cognition of industry groups and a high-quality learning resource. Digital inheritance of the experience of famous and veteran TCM physicians refers to the use of digital technology to record, organize, protect, spread, share and innovate the knowledge, skills and experiences of famous and veteran TCM physicians, which helps to overcome the inefficiency of traditional experience inheritance and realize the inheritance and development of TCM culture. Digital inheritance has certain advantages in accessibility, loss resistance, accuracy, innovation ability and effectiveness, which can assist the digital preservation, analysis and excavation of the experience of famous and veteran TCM physicians, and is an important supplement to the traditional way of learning from teachers. Digital inheritance is usually divided into the following steps: building a database of TCM knowledge, building a database of experienced medical records of famous and veteran TCM physicians, discovering laws by data mining, and assisting clinical decision-making with machine learning. The digital inheritance of famous and veteran TCM physicians is not only the use of experience information, but also the process of innovation and productization based on experience, which may become a new service model of TCM diagnosis and treatment.
