ObjectiveTo analyze the research status and development trends of non-pharmacological therapies for post-stroke spasticity (PSS) over the past two decades. MethodsRelevant literatures on non-pharmacological rehabilitation of PSS published from January, 2004 to June, 2024 were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace 6.3.R6 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 were used for visualization analysis. ResultsA total of 780 publications were included. The annual number of publications showed an overall upward trend. China, the USA, and Italy contributed the highest number of publications. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and researcher Noureddin Nakhostin Ansari were identified as the most influential institution and author, respectively. High-frequency keywords and cluster labels included electric stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, robot and acupuncture. ConclusionOver the past 20 years, researches on non-pharmacological therapies for PSS have remained active, with hotspots focusing on diverse interventions such as electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation and robot-assisted therapy.

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

Due to the inherently complex anatomical structure and physiological charac-teristics of the biliary system, biliary surgery faces considerable challenges in key stages such as preoperative planning, intraoperative identification, and postoperative management. These challenges contribute to a persistently high incidence of complications, severely affecting patient prognosis and overall survival. In recent years, with the continued advancement of interdisciplinary integration between medicine and engineering, intelligent digital technologies, centered on digital medicine, big data, and medical artificial intelligence, have been increasingly applied in the field of biliary surgery, offering new solutions to these longstanding problems. The authors systematically review recent advances and clinical applications of intelligent digital technologies in biliary surgery, and explore the evolution from clinical needs to technological innovation and practical implementation. The aim is to facilitate the transition of biliary surgery from an experience-based approach to an intelligent and precision-driven paradigm, thereby improving surgical safety and patient outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and pathogenesis of a child with Stargardt disease caused by variants of ABCA4 gene. Methods:A child presented at Shenzhen Eye Hospital between September 5, 2020, and April 3, 2023 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child were collected. Whole exome sequencing was performed on peripheral blood samples from the child and his parents. Candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Shenzhen Eye Hospital (Ethics No.: 2022KYPJ072).Results:The child was a 10-year-old male presenting with uncorrected visual acuity of 0.1 in both eyes without improvement with refractive correction. Fundus photography showed diffusely distributed yellow-white flecks in the macular region. FAF revealing central hypofluorescence surrounded by a hyperfluorescent ring, and OCT demonstrating significant foveal thinning (right eye: 45 μm; left eye: 50 μm) with ellipsoid zone disruption. Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the ABCA4 gene, namely c. 2384G>T (p.Gly795Val) and c. 2903G>A (p.Arg968Glu), which were inherited from his phenotypically normal parents and consistent with an autosomal recessive inheritance. This specific combination of the variants was previously unreported. According to the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines, both variants were classified as likely pathogenic (PM2_Supporting+ PM3+ PP3+ PP4; PM1+ PM2_Supporting+ PP3+ PP4). Conclusion:The novel compound heterozygous variants of the ABCA4 gene probably underlay the genetic etiology of Stargardt disease type 1 in this child. Above finding has expanded the mutational spectrum of the ABCA4 gene among the Chinese population and provided further evidence for understanding the genetic heterogeneity and genotype-phenotype correlation of the Stargardt disease.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of autologous adipose-derived stem cell gel (SVF-gel) grafting in the treatment of depressed acne scars.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on data collected from 28 patients who underwent SVF-gel grafting treatment for depressed acne scars in the Department of Dermatology, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University from October 2018 to May 2021. There were 17 males and 11 females, aged 17 - 38 (26 ± 4.86) years. As for clinical types, 8 patients were diagnosed with boxcar acne scars, 14 with rolling acne scars, and 6 with acne scars with characteristics of the two types. The clinical acne scar weighted scale (ECCA scale) was used to evaluate the appearance improvement after the treatment, and patients′ subjective satisfaction scores and incidence of adverse reactions were recorded.Results:After the SVF-gel grafting, the facial appearance of patients with depressed acne scars significantly improved, and the ECCA scores significantly decreased 6 months after surgery (before surgery: 52.5 ± 15.8 points; 6 months after surgery: 23.8 ± 10.2 points; t = 11.68, P < 0.001). The subjective satisfaction rate of patients was 82.14% (23/28), the incidence rate of adverse reactions was 17.86% (5/28), and 5 patients experienced mild inflammatory reactions after surgery, including 2 with subcutaneous nodules. The secondary grafting rate was 67.86% (19/28) . Conclusion:The SVF-gel grafting was markedly effective for the treatment of depressed acne scars, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
