Robotic surgery, as an increasingly widespread application in the treatment of gastric and colorectal cancer, still faces obvious discrepancies in recommendations, indications, and evidence strength across existing guidelines. This study systematically analyzed 31 relevant guidelines and consensus statements (retrieved from Chinese and English databases from January 2010 to May 2025) from two dimensions: feasibility (effectiveness, safety, etc.) and training quality control.The results showed that colorectal cancer guidelines had a higher proportion (4 guidelines) of "clear recommendations" for robotic surgery, while gastric cancer guidelines predominantly presented "conditional recommendations" or no recommendations. In the training and quality control dimension, although structured suggestions received positive recommendations, more than half were based on low or very low-quality evidence. Evidence mapping indicated insufficient matching between "case-specific recommendations" and evidence grades in the feasibility dimension, while training processes emphasized the importance of standardized systems and team collaboration.The study highlights the existing heterogeneity in evidence-based guidelines for robotic gastrointestinal surgery, with colorectal cancer demonstrating a more mature evidence base and gastric cancer showing notable evidence gaps. It is recommended that future guideline development should strengthen the consistency between recommendation grades and evidence levels, promote high-quality research in upper gastrointestinal surgery, and improve surgeon training and certification systems to facilitate standardized clinical translation of robotic gastrointestinal surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of 3D-printed metal augment or integrated acetabular prostheses for reconstruction of bone defects in hip revision.Methods:A total of 11 patients who underwent total hip revision in Zhengzhou Orthopaedic Hospital from June 2021 to July 2023 were retrospectively analysed. There were 5 males and 6 females, age 64.8±10.7 years (range, 58-75 years), and body mass index 23.3±4.8 kg/m 2 (range, 21-27 kg/m 2). Paprosky classification of acetabular bone defects: 3 cases of type IIA, 4 cases of type IIB, 3 cases of type IIIA, 1 case of type IIIB. Reasons for revision: 8 cases of aseptic loosening, 3 cases after infection exclusion procedure. A 3D-printed metal augment was used in 9 cases (8 cases of aseptic loosening and 1 case of infected exclusion procedure) and a 3D-printed integrated acetabulum was used in 2 cases (infected exclusion procedure). The time from primary total hip arthroplasty to revision was 11.8±5.6 years (range, 5-17 years). Harris hip score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the improvement of hip function and pain recovery. The leg length discrepancy, vertical height and horizontal position of the hip rotation center were measured on pelvic anteroposterior X-ray films. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time was 145.9±35.5 min (range, 110-159 min), and the intraoperative blood loss was 950.5±310.8 ml (range, 680-1,450 ml). The postoperative Harris hip function score was significantly higher than that before operation ( F=554.085, P<0.001). One year after operation, the Harris hip function score was 74.36±5.16, which was higher than that before operation 32.18±4.07, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The VAS scores of all patients decreased after operation, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that before operation ( F=177.717, P<0.001). The VAS score at 1 year after operation was 1.27±0.65, which was lower than that before operation 6.18±1.17, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The preoperative leg length discrepancy was 1.97±0.71 cm, which was greater than 0.69±0.52 cm at the last follow-up, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.824, P<0.001). The vertical height of the hip rotation center was 1.88±0.46 cm on the affected side and 1.67±0.35 cm on the healthy side, showing no significant difference ( t=1.205, P=0.242). The postoperative horizontal position of the hip rotation center was 3.48±0.55 cm on the affected side and 3.54±0.32 cm on the healthy side, and the difference was no statistically significant ( t=-0.313, P=0.758). One case had an intraoperative greater trochanteric fracture that healed 3 months after reduction and internal fixation. All patients were followed up for 21.3±9.5 months (range, 15-31 months). All incisions healed in one stage, and all patients were fully weight-bearing at 3 months after operation. At the last follow-up, there was no case of loosening, dislocation or infection of the prosthesis; 4 cases had mild claudication, 1 case had heterotopic ossification, and the patients had good hip flexion and extension functions, which did not affect daily life without further treatment. Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of 3D-printed metal augment or integrated acetabular prosthesis for reconstruction of acetabular bone defects is satisfactory, which can restore the normal center of rotation of the hip joint and has a low incidence of postoperative complications.

Urolithiasis represents a prevalent clinical challenge marked by high recurrence rates and morbidity,with existing preventive strategies struggling to effectively curb its epidemic trajectory,thereby posing a significant threat to public health. The etiology of this condition is intricate,involving a complex network of interactions spanning classical supersaturation-crystallization theory,Randall’s plaque theory,and multifactorial elements such as cellular injury,inflammatory responses,metabolic derangements,the gut-kidney axis,immune dysregulation,and genetic predisposition. However,the critical mechanisms initiating stone formation and the early pathophysiological processes remain incompletely elucidated,constituting the core impasse in current preventive strategies. This review systematically synthesizes classical theories and cutting-edge advancements in urolithiasis etiology research,emphasizing the urgent need to integrate emerging technologies,including high-dimensional omics,advanced imaging modalities,and artificial intelligence,to dissect pivotal pathological nodes in early stone formation. Such interdisciplinary efforts are essential to overcome cognitive bottlenecks and ultimately achieve personalized,precision-based prevention strategies.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), as a crucial component of the tumor micro-environment, have attracted significant attention in the field of tumor research in recent years. TLSs are composed of multiple immune cells and formed under the stimulation of chronic inflammation, with their maturation process divided into different stages. They exert anti-tumor effects by mimic-king the functions of secondary lymphoid organs and generating adaptive immune responses. In terms of the prognosis of gastric cancer, the cell composition, spatial distribution of TLSs, and their combination with other indicators are all helpful in predicting the prognosis of patients. Meanwhile, the TLSs scoring system is expected to become an index for evaluating the efficacy of immuno-therapy. Treatment strategies for inducing TLSs formation have achieved certain results in animal models, but potential treatment risks require attention. The authors elaborate on formation and maturation process of TLSs, anti-tumor mechanism, value in prognostic assessment of gastric cancer and multiple tumors, prediction of immunotherapy, as well as treatment strategies for inducing the formation of TLSs.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires lifelong medication and long-term management. The longer the duration of the disease, the more likely it is to lead to progressive chronic complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nervous system, and cardiovascular system. These complications may result in gradual functional decline or even organ failure, and may also trigger severe acute metabolic disorders. The cumulative financial burden on patients and their families can be substantial, giving rise to what is known as financial toxicity, which in turn may negatively affect patients' health outcomes. This review comprehensively explores the concept of financial toxicity in diabetic patients, including its assessment tools, influencing factors, and coping strategies. It also offers targeted suggestions aimed at informing the development of more scientific and effective systemic interventions, with the ultimate goal of improving treatment outcomes and quality of life for individuals living with diabetes.
