ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Sini San (SNS) inhibits ferroptosis, alleviates inflammation and myocardial injury, and improves myocardial infarction (MI). MethodsThe active ingredients of SNS were obtained by searching the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Platform (TCMSP) database, its target sites were predicted using the SwissTargetPrediction Database, and the core components were screened out using the CytoNCA plug-in. The targets of MI and ferroptosis were obtained by using GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database, DrugBank, Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), FerrDb database and literature review, respectively. The intersection of these targets of SNS-MI-ferroptosis was plotted as a Venn diagram. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database, and the visualization graph was prepared using Cytoscape. The core targets were screened out using the CytoNCA plug-in, and the biological functions were clustered by the MCODE plug-in. Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed using the David database. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock and visualized with PyMOL2.5.2. The Kunming mice were randomly divided into the control group, the model group, the SNS group, and the trimetazidine (TMZ) group. The mice were subcutaneously injected with isoprenaline (ISO, 5 mg·kg-1·d-1) to establish an MI model. The drug was continuously intervened for 7 days. The ST-segment changes were recorded by electrocardiogram (ECG), and the tissue morphology changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Cardiomyocyte ferroptosis was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Serum creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), reduced glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were detected by biochemical assay. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). Immunohistochemical staining was employed to detect IL-6 and phosphorylated signal transducer and transcription activator 3 (p-STAT3) in cardiac tissues. Western blot was used to detect STAT3 and p-STAT3 in cardiac tissues. Real-time PCR was used to detect the levels of IL-6, IL-18, solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) in cardiac tissues. ResultsA total of 121 active ingredients of SNS were obtained, and 58 potential targets of SNS in the treatment of MI by regulating ferroptosis were screened. The three protein modules with a score5 were mainly related to the inflammatory response. The GO function was mainly related to inflammation, and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that SNS mainly regulated ferroptosis- and inflammation- related signaling pathways. Molecular docking indicated that the core component had a higher binding force to the target site. Animal experiments confirmed that SNS reduced the level of p-STAT3 (P0.01), down-regulated the expression of ALOX15 mRNA (P0.01), up-regulated the level of serum GSH, and the expressions of SLC7A11 and GPx4 mRNA, reduced MDA and 4-HNE levels (P0.05, P0.01). Additionally, SNS improved the mitochondrial injury induced by cardiomyocyte ferroptosis, reduced the area of MI, alleviated inflammation and myocardial injury, lowered the levels of serum CK, CK-MB, LDH, IL-6, and the mRNA expression levels of IL-16 and IL-18 (P0.05), and improved ST segment elevation. ConclusionSNS can reduce ISO-induced STAT3 phosphorylation levels, inhibit ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes, alleviate inflammation and myocardial injury, thereby improving MI.

ObjectiveTo systematically investigate the discrepancies between employment preferences and actual job placements among postgraduate students in rehabilitation medicine, explore the influencing factors, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of their employment decisions. MethodsA cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 100 full-time postgraduate students who had graduated from Capital Medical University School of Rehabilitation in the past six years. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect information on personal background, self-assessed competencies, employment preferences, and actual job placements. Logistic regression models were employed to analyze the factors influencing employment preferences and actual job placements, respectively. ResultsEmployment preferences among rehabilitation medicine postgraduates were highly concentrated on large tertiary hospitals (79.0%), yet the actual placement rate (61.0%) showed a significant gap. Preference for tertiary hospitals showed no significant association with individual factors such as gender, degree type or self-assessed competencies (P > 0.05). Univariate analysis revealed that those who entered tertiary hospitals scored significantly higher in self-assessed clinical skills, research ability, communication and coordination, and resource integration (|t| > 3.661, P < 0.001), and demonstrated clearer career planning (P = 0.012). Multivariate logistic regression analysis did not identify any independent predictors of actual employment within the context of this study sample (P > 0.05). ConclusionEmployment among rehabilitation medicine postgraduates is characterized by highly homogeneous preferences coexisting with complexity of factors influencing actual employment. It is recommended to optimize the training system, deepen personalized career education, and establish diversified employment guidance mechanisms to promote rational talent flow and facilitate the balanced development of the rehabilitation medical service system.

With the continuous deepening of the concept of precision diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer, how to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment pathways in clinical practice has become an important issue that urgently needs to be overcome. The current clinical difficulty lies in the fact that despite continuous advancements in imaging and molecular diagnostic technologies, there are still limitations in manual efficiency and subjective experience when it comes to massive data analysis and multi-scale feature extraction. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially algorithm systems based on deep learning, is an innovative technology capable of deeply empowering medical big data. This method utilizes algorithms such as convolutional neural networks, combined with radiomics, pathomics, and multi-modal data fusion analysis, demonstrating immense potential in early precise detection and benign-malignant differentiation of pulmonary nodules, digital pathological subtype recognition and non-invasive prediction of driver genes, precise 3D surgical planning and automatic delineation of radiotherapy target volumes, as well as dynamic risk warning during follow-up. This innovative technology provides a brand-new solution for realizing intelligent and individualized lung cancer diagnosis and treatment models. This consensus, based on the latest evidence from evidence-based medicine and combined with the development trends in the AI field and real-world clinical needs, was ultimately formed by gathering the consensus opinions of multidisciplinary experts in radiology, pathology, thoracic surgery, and other fields. The main content covers the application specifications of AI in the three core scenarios of lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, the technical standards for data collection and algorithm validation, as well as the ethical and regulatory challenges faced at the current stage. It aims to clarify the applicable boundaries of AI as a clinical auxiliary decision support tool, providing scientific guidance and standardized exploration directions for peers currently engaged in or planning to carry out AI-assisted clinical diagnosis, treatment, and translation of lung cancer.

OBJECTIVE To construct and validate a prognostic prediction model for first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS The clinicopathological data and peripheral blood parameters from 211 patients with advanced NSCLC who received first-line ICIs therapy at our hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospective collected. The patients were randomly divided into a training set (151 cases) and a validation set(60 cases) at a ratio of 7∶3. Using progression-free survival (PFS) as the outcome measure, LASSO regression was used to preliminarily screen predictive variables in the training set,and the preliminarily screened predictive variables were entered into a multivariable Cox regression model to construct Model 1. Meanwhile,restricted cubic splinec analysis was performed on the continuous variables preliminarily screened by LASSO regression. The variables with nonlinear relationships ( P <0.1) were analyzed by multivariable Cox regression in RCS form to construct Model 2. The concordance index,receiver operating characteristic curves,calibration curves,and decision curve analysis were used to compare the predictive performance of the two models; the optimal model was selected to construct a nomogram.Sensitivity analysis was performed by reconstructing the multivariable Cox regression model after excluding cases with unknown programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)status. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves to analyze the survival differences among patients with different risk strata.RESULTS The variables used to construct Model 1 were sex, smoking history, PD-L1 expression status, bone metastasis, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA);the variables used to construct Model 2 were sex, smoking history, PD-L1 expression status, bone metastasis, CEA, neutrophil(Neu), and albumin(ALB). The concordance indices of Model 2 were 0.710 in the training set and 0.672 in the validation set,both superior to those of Model 1 (0.649,0.634). The areas under the curve (AUC) of Model 2 for 12, 18, and 24 months PFS were 0.737,0.782 and 0.788 in the training set,and 0.709,0.630 and 0.663 in the validation set,respectively,all outperforming Model 1 (0.653, 0.704, 0.697 in the training set;0.688, 0.605, 0.651 in the validation set).The calibration curves of both models showed good consistency between the predicted probability and actual probability,and the clinical net benefit of Model 2 was higher than that of Model 1. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the prediction model was robust. The median PFS of patients in the low-risk group was significantly longer than that in the high-risk group( P <0.05).CONCLUSIONS Sex, smoking history, PD-L1 expression status, bone metastasis, Neu, ALB, and CEA were independent influencing factors for PFS in advanced NSCLC patients receiving first-line ICIs. The prediction model constructed based on the above factors has good predictive performance and can be used to predict the prognosis of advanced NSCLC patients.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of plastic bronchitis in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and put forward targeted prevention suggestions. Methods The clinical data of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection who were admitted to Chengdu Third People's Hospital from September 2022 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed . According to whether plastic bronchitis occurred, they were divided into plastic group (n=118) and non-plastic group (n=184), and the differences between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistics regression analysis equations were used to analyze the independent influencing factors of plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Results Among the 302 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection , 118 cases were diagnosed with plastic bronchitis. Analysis showed that the children’s age, duration of fever, hospital stay, pleural effusion rate, number of bronchoscopic lavage, allergy history, endoscopic mucosal erosion rate, WBC, NE%, LY%, CRP, LDH, PCT and D-D were the single factors influencing the occurrence of plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Binary logistics regression analysis revealed that age (OR=2.137, P=0.033, 95% CI: 1.132-16.603), allergy history (OR=3.028, P=0.014, 95% CI: 1.261-864), NE% (OR=2.395, P=0.031, 95% CI: 1.087-5.274), CRP (OR=3.864, P=0.004, 95% CI: 1.563-3.864), PCT (OR=4.125, P=0.001, 95% CI: 1.793-3.864), and D-D (OR=3.920, P=0.002, 95% CI: 1.632-3.864) were independent risk factors for plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection (P<0.05). Conclusion Age, allergy history, NE%, CRP, PCT and D-D are independent risk factors for plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection . It is necessary to take clinical intervention measures to reduce the occurrence risk.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of modified associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) in the treatment of patients with primary liver cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 83 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing hemihepatectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Tumor Surgery of Gansu Provincial Cancer Hospital between January 2022 and November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 53 males and 30 females, aged (54.0±6.5) years. According to the treatment protocol, patients were divided into the control group ( n=41), in which patients underwent traditional ALPPS, and the observation group ( n=42), in which patients underwent modified ALPPS (occlusion of portal venous branch using vascular clips, combined with radiofrequency ablation for physical separation of the diseased lobe, without liver mobilization). The completion rate of staged surgery, interval between surgeries, future liver remnant (FLR) growth rate at 7 days after first-stage surgery, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels at 5 days after fisrt-stage surgery, and postoperative complications (ascites, nausea, and vomiting, etc.) were compared between the groups. Results:The completion rate of staged surgery was 95.2% (40/42) in the observation group and 90.2% (37/41) in the control group ( χ2=0.62, P=0.431). The ALT and AST levels at 5 days after first-stage surgery were (550.4±86.0) U/L and (327.1±52.8) U/L in the observation group, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (861.6±106.3) U/L and (533.8±73.7) U/L, respectively ( t=13.13 and P<0.001, t=12.93 and P<0.001). The FLR growth rate were higher in the observation group than that in the control group [(80.4±10.3)% vs (49.3±5.7)%; t=13.13, P<0.001] and the interval between procedures were also shorter in the observation group (10.9±2.1 vs 22.4±4.8, d; t=9.65, P<0.001). The intraoperative blood loss of the first-stage surgery was lower in the observation group than that in the control group (350.5±45.2 vs 825.5±21.7, ml; t=21.43, P<0.001). The total complication rates after the first-stage surgery were 11.9% (5/42) in the observation group and 19.5% (8/41) in the control group, while after the second-stage surgery, the complication rates were 7.5% (3/40) and 18.9% (7/37), respectively, with no statistically significant differences ( χ2=0.65 and P=0.419, χ2=1.81 and 0.177, respectively). Conclusion:The modified ALPPS offers better postoperative liver function, reduced surgical trauma, accelerated FLR growth, and a shorter interval between procedures, demonstrating a favorable safety in the treatment of primary liver cancer.

Objective:To explore the method of CT quantitative evaluation of silicosis fibrosis in artificial stone and analyze its correlation with the stage of chest X-ray and lung function impairment.Methods:The clinical data of 142 patients with artificial stone silicosis who were treated at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected. These patients were diagnosed based on GBZ 70-2015 Diagnosis of Occupational Pneumoconiosis and underwent chest X-rays, chest CT scans, and lung function tests within a two-month period. The chest CT scoring method is based on the CT characteristics of silicosis, including ground-glass shadows, small nodule shadows, point-line shadows/cord-line shadows, emphysema/pulmonary bullae and patch shadows/mass shadows, with a scoring range of 0 to 25 points. Lung function indicators included FVC, FEV 1 and DLco. For inter-group comparisons of normally distributed quantitative data, one-way ANOVA was employed with LSD post-hoc test for multiple comparisons. Chi-square test was used for multi-group ratio comparisons. Kruskal-Wallis H test was applied to non-normally distributed quantitative data, followed by LSD post-hoc test. Spearman's rank correlation was used to analyze the relationship between pulmonary function indicators and CT fibrosis scores, Trend test was conducted using the Pearson test. Results:As the silicosis stage progressed, both the CT fibrosis score ( R=0.87, Ptrend<0.001) and the degree of lung function impairment (FVC: R=-0.41, Ptrend<0.001; FEV 1: R=-0.52, Ptrend<0.001) ; DLco: R=-0.38, Ptrend<0.001) showed an increasing trend. The CT fibrosis Score demonstrated a strong positive correlation with silicosis stage ( rs=0.85, Ptrend<0.001) and a moderate negative correlation with FVC, FEV 1, and DLco ( rs=-0.48, -0.56, and -0.45, respectively, with all P<0.05) . Over an average follow-up period of 14 months, it was observed that changes in the CT score had a strong to moderate negative correlation with variations in FVC and FEV 1 ( rs=-0.63 and -0.52, P<0.05) . Additionally, there was a moderate negative correlation between ground glass opacity and DLco ( rs=-0.52, P<0.001) . Conclusion:The CT fibrosis score not only reflects pathological changes associated with artificial stone-related silicosis but also provides a more precise representation of lung function injury.
