Objective To explore the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the standardized training of thoracic surgery residents, specifically in enhancing clinical skills and anatomical understanding through AI-assisted lung nodule identification and lung segment anatomy teaching. Methods Thoracic surgery residents undergoing standardized training at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from September 2023 to September 2024 were selected. They were randomly assigned to a trial group and a control group using a random number table. The trial group used AI-assisted three-dimensional reconstruction technology for lung nodule identification, while the control group used conventional chest CT images. After basic teaching and self-practice, the ability to identify lung nodules on the same patient CT images was evaluated, and feedback was collected through questionnaires. Results A total of 72 residents participated in the study, including 30 (41.7%) males and 42 (58.3%) females, with an average age of (24.0±3.0) years. The trial group showed significantly better overall diagnostic accuracy for lung nodules (91.9% vs. 73.3%) and lung segment identification (100.0% vs. 83.70%) compared to the control group, and the reading time was significantly shorter [ (118.5±10.5) s vs. (332.1±20.2) s, P<0.01]. Questionnaire results indicated that 94.4% of the residents had a positive attitude toward AI technology, and 91.7% believed that it improved diagnostic accuracy. Conclusion AI-assisted teaching significantly improves thoracic surgery residents’ ability to read images and clinical thinking, providing a new direction for the reform of standardized training.

Objective: To establish a "regular blood donor red blood cell gene database"(hereafter referred to as the "database") by applying molecular biology techniques for red blood cell antigens genotyping and utilizing information technology software, and to determine the significance and application value of this "database" in precise red blood cell transfusion. Methods: Fifteen antigens [C, c, E, e, M, N, S, s, Fy (a), Fy (b), Jk (a), Jk (b), Le (a), Le (b), P1] across six blood group systems (RHCE, MNS, FY, JK, Lewis and P1PK) were detected among 9 426 regular blood donors using the TaqMan-MGB method combined with an improved U-shaped microplate approach. With the assistance of information technology software, the "database" was integrated into the overall inventory management system of the blood supply chain. This enabled comprehensive management of regular blood donor and patient information, test results, specific antigen screening for regular blood donors, graded antigen matching between donors and patients, and rare blood type donor records. Results: The TaqMan-MGB method successfully detected paired antigens (C/c, E/e, M/N, S/s, Fy
/Fy
, Jk
/Jk
) within a single reaction well using a standardized PCR amplification protocol. This method provided a reliable testing solution for clinical institutions and empowered blood collection and supply organizations with high-throughput screening capabilities. In the blood supply chain, genotyped red blood cells accounted for 13.2% (721/5 462 U) of the total inventory, with 95.34% (348/365) originating from donors who donated two units of blood. Moreover, the “database” fulfilled 94.06% (443/471 U) of compatible transfusion requirements from medical institutions and effectively managed rare blood type donors. Conclusion: The establishment of the "database" facilitated the transition of blood compatibility testing from traditional serological methods to molecular biology-based gold standard techniques, significantly advancing the implementation of precise transfusion strategies based on multi-antigen matching between donors and patients.

The relevant laws and regulations regarding the utilization of the deceased as medical research subjects are not yet fully developed in China nowadays. Taking the deceased as research subjects as a starting point, this paper discussed the definition of the deceased and the scope of their interest protection from multiple perspectives. It posited that the scope of interest protection for the deceased encompassed two components: spiritual personality interests and material personality interests represented by the remains. The spiritual personality interests of the deceased included identification information such as name, portrait, reputation, honor, privacy, and personal information, as well as medical and health information. The personal information of the deceased was not directly affected by the individual’s life and death status and remained relatively independent. In terms of ethical review, the research team approached from two perspectives: the remains and the personal information of the deceased. Based on the standard of whether the research subjects involve a human body, research with the remains of the deceased as the medical research subjects was classified as non-clinical research. According to the standard of whether a human body is clinically operated, research with the personal information of the deceased (including medical and health information) as the medical research subjects was recognized as clinical research without human research operation. This approach provided evidence for the application of existing laws and regulations in ethical review and record management. The ethical review of investigator-initiated clinical research conducted in medical and health institutions, as well as the regulatory conditions for exemption from ethical review, were examined. The forms, content, and acquisition of informed consent were summarized, and the risk-benefit characteristics of the research activity were evaluated, with a view to providing a basis for the smooth and compliant implementation of research activities involving the deceased as medical research subjects.

The gastric fundus fornix and upper part of the gastric body pose challenges for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), resulting in unsatisfactory resection outcomes for lesions in these areas,because of the difficulty in the endoscope reaching the lesion site. Drawing inspiration from the formation of α loop during flexible colonoscopy and double-channel multibending gastroscope, a single-channel treatment gastroscope was utilized to create a multibending state (referred to as single-channel endoscope multibending method, SCMB). This method was employed to treat 6 patients with lesions in the stomach at Digestive Endoscopy Center of Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to December 2021. There were 3 cases in the gastric fundus fornix, 2 cases in the greater curvature on the upper part of the gastric body, and 1 case in the posterior wall of gastric fundus and subcardia. After 2-3 attempts during surgery, SCMB was successfully performed in all cases within 60-120 seconds. All 6 cases completed successful endoscopic resection within 20-80 minutes without significant complications, including 4 cases of ESD and 2 cases of endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR). Preliminary results indicate that SCMB method during ESD and its derivative technologies are both safe and effective for lesions in challenging areas where gastric ESD is difficult to perform. During surgery, this approach facilitates the front end of endoscope access to the lesion, providing a clear visual field and a stable dissection plane.
