The China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA) Guidelines are the first set of guidelines developed for the holistic integrative management of cancers in China. An "on-campus CACA Guidelines" event was initiated by the China Anti-Cancer Association and numerous experts in medical education in February 2023. This event was aimed to integrate the key points and practical application of the guidelines into medical education and to foster high-caliber talents through revised educational materials, innovative teaching approaches, and enhanced hands-on training. The "on-campus CACA Guidelines" event took place in 222 medical schools nationwide and received positive responses from all participating schools. The CACA guidelines were incorporated into teaching by updating the curriculum, improving teacher training, and establishing facilities for practical training. The incorporation of the CACA guidelines has effectively improved teacher capabilities, streamlined academic evaluation, promoted a positive academic environment, and strengthened students' practical skills. These guidelines provide key insights and directions for medical education reform in China.

Objective:Regulatory quantitative trait loci (regQTL) theory can help to evaluate the regulation function of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on crucial biological signals from a three-dimensional perspective. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of these regQTL-SNPs on the susceptibility of lung cancer.Methods:Based on the regQTL theory, using the database of identified lung cancer regQTL-SNPs, we screened the SNPs that may function as regQTL in the reported susceptible regions of lung cancer by genome-wide association study(GWAS), and a two-stage case-control study was conducted (screening stage: 2 331 lung cancer cases and 3 077 healthy controls; validation stage: 626 lung cancer cases and 667 healthy controls) to definite the association of related regQTL-SNPs with the susceptibility of lung cancer.Results:A total of 8 regQTL-SNPs were screened in the reported susceptible regions of lung cancer by GWAS. Among which, 3 SNPs were significantly associated with the risk of lung cancer ( P<0.05) in the screening stage. Further validation results indicated that the variant T allele of rs6998591 in ADRA1A was significantly associated with increased risk of lung cancer (additive model: OR=1.33, 95% CI:1.01-1.74, P=0.040). In addition, the variant G allele of rs11202916 in ACTA2 was significantly associated with decreased risk of lung cancer (recessive model: OR=0.71, 95% CI:0.52-0.96, P=0.026). Stratified analysis indicated that the variant T allele of rs6998591 significantly increased lung squamous cell carcinoma risk (additive model: OR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.01-2.32, P=0.043), while the variant G allele of rs11202916 significantly decreased lung adenocarcinoma risk (additive model: OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.69-0.98, P=0.031). Gene-environment interaction analysis indicated that the risk of developing lung cancer increased by 235% in smoking individuals carrying rs6998591 variant T allele compared with those non-smoking individuals carrying no rs6998591 variant T allele( OR=3.35,95% CI:2.10-5.34, P<0.001). Conclusion:There are two regQTL-SNPs that could significantly affect the susceptibility of lung cancer in the GWAS reported susceptible regions of lung cancer.
