Surgical treatment is one of the key approaches for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Regular postoperative follow-up is crucial for early detection and timely management of tumor recurrence, metastasis, or second primary tumors. A scientifically sound and reasonable follow-up strategy not only extends patient survival but also significantly improves quality of life, thereby enhancing overall prognosis. This consensus aims to build upon the previous version by incorporating the latest clinical research advancements and refining postoperative follow-up protocols for early-stage NSCLC patients based on different treatment modalities. It provides a scientific and practical reference for clinicians involved in the postoperative follow-up management of NSCLC. By optimizing follow-up strategies, this consensus seeks to promote the standardization and normalization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment in China, helping more patients receive high-quality care and long-term management. Additionally, the release of this consensus is expected to provide insights for related research and clinical practice both domestically and internationally, driving continuous development and innovation in the field of postoperative management for NSCLC.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint of Gerbera delavayi and the methods for the content determination of 11 components in G. delavayi. METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)was adopted to establish the fingerprints of 13 batches of G. delavayi(No. S1-S13), and the similarities were evaluated according to Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (2012 edition), while the common peaks were identified. Hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were carried out by using SPSS 25.0 software and SIMCA 14.1 software. The contents of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, 3,8-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-5-carboxylic acid, caffeic acid, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2- oxo-2H-1-benzopyran- 5-carboxylic acid, luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, isochlorogenic acid A, apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, isochlorogenic acid C and xanthotoxin were determined by HPLC. RESULTS The similarities in HPLC fingerprint of 13 batches of G. delavayi were 0.801-0.994; a total of 38 common peaks were identified and 13 common peaks were identified. The results of HCA showed that S1-S5 and S7 were clustered into one group, S6 into one category, S8 into one category, S9 and S11 into one category, S10, S12 and S13 into one category, and the results of PCA were consistent with them. The results of OPLS-DA showed that variable importance values for the projection of peak 7 (chlorogenic acid), peak 21 (isochlorogenic acid A), peak 26 (xanthotoxin), peak 19 (isochlorogenic acid B), peak 33, peak 13, peak 23 (isochlorogenic acid C), peak 2 (new chlorogenic acid), peak 17 (luteolin-7-O-β-D- glucoside) were greater than 1. The above 11 components had good linearity in their respective detection concentration ranges (r was greater than 0.999). RSDs of precision, repeatability, and stability tests were not more than 2% (n=6). The average recovery rates were 92.54%-105.55%, and the RSDs were 0.83%-1.93% (n=6). The average contents of 11 components were 0.744, 5.014, 0.646, 0.431, 0.069, 0.582, 0.979, 2.754, 0.157, 1.284 and 2.943 mg/g, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The constructed HPLC fingerprint and content determination methods are simple, accurate and stable, which can provide reference for quality control of G. delavayi. Xanthotoxin, chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid A, luteolin-7-O- β -D-glucoside, isochlorogenic acid C and new chlorogenic acid can be used as markers for G. delavayi.

Super-pulse thulium fiber laser (hereinafter referred to as thulium laser) has shown broad application prospects in medical research, especially in the treatment of urinary tract stones.Thulium laser has a thin fiber diameter, which reduces the occupation of the working channel and increases the irrigation water flow.Currently, the peak power reaches up to 500 W, the single pulse energy to 6 J, and the frequency to 2000 Hz.The stone-breaking mechanism of thulium laser is photothermal and photomechanical.Different combinations of energy and frequency will significantly affect the volume of stone fragments. "High energy and low frequency" is more suitable for "fragmentation" stone breaking, while "low energy and high frequency" is more suitable for "powderization" stone breaking.Some in vitro experiments have confirmed that thulium laser has higher stone-breaking efficiency, less stone displacement, and more obvious thermal effects compared to holmium laser.Clinically, thulium laser has been applied to ureteroscopic lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy., and the stone free rate and safety are relatively high.This article reviews the stone-breaking principles, in vitro experiments, and clinical applications of thulium laser, aiming to provide better theoretical support and practical experience for the development and application of super-pulse thulium fiber laser in the future.
4.New treatment methods for complex urinary stones: Needle-perc assisted endoscopic surgery
Journal of Modern Urology 2025;30(2):91-94
Complex urinary stones have been the focus and difficulty of clinical treatment.Traditional multi-channel percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has a high stone-free rate and efficacy in the treatment of multiple or large volume kidney stones,but has risk of serious complications such as bleeding and injury.Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been preferred in the treatment of renal stones with a diameter of less than 2 cm due to its characteristics of small trauma and fast recovery.However,it is difficult to treat small calyx stones with poor anatomy,lower renal calyx stones with small IPA,and diverticulum stones.Needle-perc assisted endoscopic surgery (NAES) includes the following modes:①Needle-perc plus PCNL,which can effectively reduce the number of channels,reduce surgical risks,and protect kidney function while ensuring a high stone-free rate; ②Needle-perc plus RIRS,which can significantly improve the success rate and stone-free rate without increasing kidney damage,thus having significant advantages in dealing with complex urinary stones.In order to popularize and promote this technique,this essay will review the relevant domestic and foreign literature and the clinical experience of our center,focusing on the indications,usage specifications,operative skills and precautions of NAES.

Chest tightness variant asthma(CTVA)is an atypical form of asthma with chest tightness as the sole or predominant symptom.The underlying receptors for chest tightness are bronchial C-fibers or rapidly adapting receptors.The nerve impulses are transmitted via the vagus nerve and processed in different regions of the cerebral cortex.Chest tightness is associated with sensory perception,and CTVA patients may have heightened ability to detect subtle changes in lung function,but such sensory perception is unrelated to respiratory muscle activity,lung hyperinflation,or mechanical loading of the respiratory system.Airway inflammation,pulmonary ventilation dysfunction(especially involving small airways),and airway hyperresponsiveness may underlie the sensation of chest tightness.CTVA patients are prone to comorbid anxiety and depression,which share similar central nervous system processing pathways with dyspnea,suggesting a possible neurological basis for the development of CTVA.This article examines the recognition and mechanisms of chest tightness,and explores the pathogenesis of CTVA,focusing on its association with airway inflammation,ventilation dysfunction,airway hyperresponsiveness,and psychosocial factors.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic performance of continuous-time random-walk (CTRW) diffusion model combined with vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) in the diagnosis of muscle invasion of bladder cancer.Methods:In this case-control study, 64 patients with pathologically confirmed bladder urothelial carcinoma in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively enrolled from August 2022 to March 2023. The patients were divided into the muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) group and the nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) group (29 cases and 35 cases, respectively) according to the pathological results. All patients underwent bladder MRI within 4 weeks before surgery, including T 2WI, conventional diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and multi-b-value DWI. The CTRW model was used to obtain three quantitative diffusion parameters, including D m (an anomalous diffusion coefficient), α (related to temporal diffusion heterogeneity), and β (related to spatial diffusion heterogeneity). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated using a mono-exponential model. The VI-RADS scores were evaluated based on T 2WI and conventional DWI. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the diffusion parameters between the MIBC group and the NMIBC group. The combination of the parameters was investigated with logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic performance for muscle invasion of bladder cancer was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic analysis and the area under the curve (AUC). The difference between AUC was compared using the DeLong test. Results:There were statistically significant differences in ADC, D m, and α between the MIBC group and the NMIBC group ( Z=-2.31, -2.91, -3.97, P=0.021, 0.004,<0.001). No significant difference was found in β between the two groups ( Z=1.69, P=0.091). The AUC (95% CI) of D m and α for diagnosing MIBC were 0.712 (0.587-0.838) and 0.790 (0.676-0.904) respectively, both of which were higher than that of ADC (AUC 0.669, 95% CI 0.537-0.801) with statistically significant differences ( Z=2.86, 2.27, P=0.004, 0.023). The AUC (95% CI) of CTRW (D m+α) was 0.782 (0.661-0.876), which was significantly higher than that of ADC ( Z=2.35, P=0.019). The AUC (95% CI) of VI-RADS score and VI-RADS combined with CTRW parameter (VI-RADS+D m+α) were 0.823 (0.716-0.930) and 0.900 (0.799-0.961) respectively, with a statistically significant difference between them ( Z=2.16, P=0.031). Conclusion:The D m and α parameters in the CTRW diffusion model show better performance than the ADC in the mono-exponential model for muscle-invasive evaluation of bladder cancer, and the CTRW diffusion model can enhance the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS.
