Recent research from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, posing a significant threat to women's health. Surgery remains the primary therapeutic modality for breast cancer. Recently, endoscopic and robotic breast surgical techniques have gained acceptance among both surgeons and patients. However, considerable variation exists in surgical approaches and outcomes. To standardize these techniques, facilitate their broader clinical adoption, and ultimately improve patient care, the Endoscopic-robotic Breast Surgery Clinical Trials Consortium (ErBSCTC) of China has developed this guideline. This document encompasses the technologies and instrumentation utilized in endoscopic and robotic breast surgery, surgical techniques, perioperative management, complication handling, long-term follow-up, and oncologic outcomes, aiming to provide evidence-based guidance for healthcare professionals involved in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of breast diseases.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women in China, with surgery being one of the primary treatment modalities. Endoscopic/robotic breast surgery (ErBS) is gaining widespread acceptance among patients and surgeons alike due to its advantages of minimal invasiveness, superior cosmetic outcomes, and accelerated recovery. However, substantial heterogeneity currently exists across China regarding patient selection, standardized operative techniques, perioperative management, and complication handling, underscoring the urgent need for evidence-based consensus guidelines. To promote standardization and ensure consistent quality of ErBS, the Chinese Endoscopic-Robotic Breast Surgery Clinical Trials Consortium (CErBSCTC) has systematically reviewed the latest high-quality evidence and formulated the "Protocol for China Endoscopic and Robotic Breast Surgery Guidelines (2026 edition)", which outlines a comprehensive methodology for guideline development.

This guideline, presented in three parts, details the core aspects of endoscopic/robotic breast surgery, including its techniques, equipment, surgical procedures, perioperative management, complication treatment, long-term follow-up, and outcomes. Part one offered a comprehensive overview of indications for endoscopic and robotic breast surgery, intraoperative techniques, surgical instrument choices, and common endoscopic and robotic breast reconstruction procedures. This part will cover other endoscopic breast procedures beyond immediate breast reconstruction and include perioperative management strategies, to provide healthcare professionals involved in endoscopic and robotic breast surgery with systematic operational guidelines and clinical decision-making references.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of polydatin in delaying the progression of colitis-associated colorectal cancer （CAC） by constructing an azoxymethane （AOM）/dextran sulfate sodium （DSS）-induced CAC mouse model and conducting in vitro experiments. MethodsFifty-four male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal， model， and polydatin groups （0.045 g·kg^-1）. The CAC mouse model was established using AOM/DSS， and samples were collected at 4， 7， and 10 weeks. Body weight change rate， disease activity index （DAI）， and tumor formation were assessed. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological injury in intestinal tissues. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was performed to detect zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1） expression in colonic tissues， and Western blot was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin， N-cadherin， and Vimentin in colonic epithelial cells. Real-time PCR was used to measure mRNA expression of interleukin-17A （IL-17A）， Wnt3a， β-catenin， T cell factor 1 （Tcf1）， E-cadherin， N-cadherin， and Vimentin in colonic tissues. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion of CD8⁺T cells and the expression of exhaustion-related molecules in tumors. Human colon cancer DLD-1 cells were cultured in a polydatin-containing medium， and wound healing assays were performed to observe migration changes. Real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of interleukin-17 receptor A （IL-17RA）， Wnt3a， β-catenin， Tcf1， E-cadherin， N-cadherin， and Vimentin in DLD-1 cells. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group at all three time points showed significantly decreased body weight change rate （P<0.01）， significantly shortened colon length （P<0.01）， and markedly increased DAI scores （P<0.01）. HE staining revealed significant inflammatory cell infiltration in the submucosa of the colon in the model group， accompanied by epithelial dysplasia. ZO-1 expression in colonic tissues was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory factor IL-17A and key molecules of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway （Wnt3a， β-catenin， Tcf1） was significantly elevated （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） markers N-cadherin and Vimentin was significantly upregulated （P<0.05）， while E-cadherin expression was significantly downregulated （P<0.05）. The proportion of tumor-infiltrating CD8⁺T cells expressing immunosuppressive molecules （TIM-3， LAG-3， PD-1） was significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the polydatin group showed significant improvement in body weight and DAI score （P<0.01）， as well as recovery of colon length and tissue injury. ZO-1 expression in colonic tissue was significantly increased （P<0.01）， while IL-17A， Wnt3a， β-catenin， Tcf1， N-cadherin， and Vimentin expression levels were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and E-cadherin expression was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Tumor-infiltrating CD8⁺ T cells expressing immunosuppressive molecules were significantly reduced （P<0.05）. In vitro experiments showed that polydatin significantly inhibited migration of DLD-1 cells （P<0.01） and reversed the upregulation of IL-17RA， Wnt3a， β-catenin， N-cadherin， and Vimentin mRNA， as well as the downregulation of E-cadherin mRNA （P<0.05）. ConclusionPolydatin inhibits IL-17A secretion and IL-17RA expression， improves the immune microenvironment， blocks activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway， suppresses EMT markers （N-cadherin and Vimentin）， and restores tight junction protein expression in intestinal epithelial cells， thereby delaying the progression from colitis to colorectal cancer in mice.

AIM To investigate the effects of Shuyu Pills combined with evolimus on the epithelial mesenchymal transformation of triple negative breast cancer cells 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 induced by TGF-β1.METHODS The 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 cells were divided into the blank group and the induction group to induce the epithelial mesenchymal transformation with TGF-β1 cytokine treatment,followed by the assignment into the model group,the Shuyu Pills group,the everolimus group and the Shuyu Pills combined with everolimus group.CCK8 method,plate cloning method,cell scratch test and Transewll test were used to detect the proliferation,cloning formation,migration and invasion ability of the cells whose expressions of E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Vimentin,MMP9,MMP2 and pathway proteins PTEN,PI3K,Akt and mTOR were detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the induction group displayed a cell morphological change from epithelioid to stromal,decreased expression of E-cadherin protein(P＜0.01);and increased protein expressions of N-cadherin and Vimentin(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,each group intervened with the medicine displayed decreased proliferation,clone formation,migration and invasion ability of both kinds of cells(P＜0.01);increased protein expressions of PTEN and E-cadherin(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and decreased protein expressions of PI3K,Akt,mTOR,N-cadherin,Vimentin,MMP9 and MMP2(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and more significantly in the Shuyu Pills combined with evolimus group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION With a more ideal effect than the single uses in inhibiting the TGF-β1-induced epithelial mesenchymal transformation of triple-negative breast cancer cells,the combination use of Shuyu Pills and everolimus may work through the regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objectives To explore the causal relationship between asthma-related pneumonia and heart failure(HF)by using two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods The causal relationship between asthma-related pneumonia and HF were systematically evaluated through two-sample MR analysis based on publicly available Genome-Wide Association Study data.Inverse variance weighted(IVW),MR-Egger,weighted median,weighted mode,and simple mode methods were used.Different models were used to analyze sensitivity.Testing approaches were conducted to assess the robustness of the results.Results IVW analysis results showed that there was a causal relationship between asthma-related pneumonia and HF risk(OR=1.113,95％CI:1.027-1.206,P=0.009).HF was not found to have a causal effect on asthma-related pneumonia risk based on IVW analysis(OR=1.018,95％CI:0.780-1.328,P=0.893).The variance used in all MR analyses showed no heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy.The leave-one-out analysis revealed that no single nucleotide polymorphism disproportionately influenced the results,further confirming the credibility of the bidirectional MR findings.Conclusion This study established a causal relationship between asthma-related pneumonia and HF risk.No clear causal relationship between HF and asthma-related pneumonia risk was found.

Objective:To understand the relationship between sleep duration and cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities (CMM) in middle-aged and elderly people in China.Methods:This study was a prospective cohort study, based on the data of China Health and Retirement Tracing Survey (CHARLS) from 2011 to 2015, and included middle-aged and elderly people aged≥45 years in the cohort study. Age, gender, marital status, residence, education, smoking status, alcohol status, body mass index, history of diabetes, history of dyslipidemia, history of hypertension, history of stroke, history of heart disease, history of mental illness, depression scale score were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between daily sleep duration and the risk of CMM onset and to construct four models with stepwise adjusted covariates. A stratified analysis was established based on demographic factors, lifestyle factors, metabolic factors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular factors, and psychological factors. Meanwhile, a subgroup analysis was established according to different combinations of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases to explore the association between sleep length and the risk of CMM in different populations.Results:A total of 297 (4.4%) of the 6 788 included participants experienced CMM. In the multivariate logistic regression, the RR value (95% CI) for the risk of CMM for>9 h was 1.99 (1.86-2.08) and 1.78 (1.64-1.92), respectively (all P<0.001). The stratified analysis showed that the risk of CMM incidence between sleep duration<7 h and>9 h was associated in people with different age, sex, residence, smoking status, drinking status, body mass index, hypertension, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, dyslipidemia, and depression (all P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that sleep duration<7 h with both diabetes, heart disease and stroke had the highest risk of CMM ( RR=1.95, 95% CI: 1.65-2.14). Conclusion:In the middle-aged and elderly group in China, there is a U-shaped association between sleep duration and CMM, that is, insufficient or too long sleep duration throughout the day is related to the increased risk of CMM.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of arteriosclerosis in different examination items in health check-up population.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 4 479 subjects who underwent fundus, carotid artery color ultrasound and arteriosclerosis detector examinations in the Health Management Center at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January to December 2019 were selected as the study objects. The data including age, gender, family history and biochemical indicators were collected. The detection outcomes of arteriosclerosis and the distribution in different age and gender subgroups were analyzed. Kappa consistency test was used to analyze the consistency of different examination items of arteriosclerosis examination. The multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of different examination items of arteriosclerosis detection. Results:Among the 4 479 subjects included in the analysis, 2 450 were male and 2 029 were female, with a mean age of (44.48±8.12) years. Arteriosclerosis was detected in one examination item in 1 167 cases (26.05%), 1 042 cases (23.26%) in two examination items, and 617 cases (13.78%) in three examination items, respectively. Among patients aged ≤40 years, 149 cases (18.91%) were detected with arteriosclerosis. In the age group of 40<-60 years, arteriosclerosis was detected in 2 660 patients (72.40%). All patients >60 years old exhibited arteriosclerosis, with 16 cases (94.12%) showing ≥2 items of arteriosclerosis. The results of fundus and carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound, fundus and arteriosclerosis detector, carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound and arteriosclerosis detector all demonstrated moderate consistency ( Kappa=0.32, 0.34, 0.24; all P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the age ( OR=2.07, 95% CI: 1.97-2.17), male ( OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.14-2.23), body mass index ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.05-1.15), and systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.03) were positively correlated with fundus arteriosclerosis (all P<0.05). Similarly, age ( OR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.12-1.14), male ( OR=2.53, 95% CI: 2.07-3.09), systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.03), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.16-2.23) were positively correlated with cervical arteriosclerosis, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.32-0.72) was negatively correlated with cervical arteriosclerosis (all P<0.05). Furthermore, age ( OR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.08-1.11), male ( OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.25-1.92), systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.08, 95% CI: 1.07-1.09), diastolic blood pressure ( OR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.03), postprandial blood glucose ( OR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.03-1.15), homocysteine ( OR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.03), and fibrinogen ( OR=1.26, 95% CI: 1.04-1.52) were positively correlated with systemic arterial stiffness (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The detection rates of arteriosclerosis in different examination items among the health check-up population vary. Age, male gender and systolic blood pressure are positive correlation factors for the three detection items of arteriosclerosis. For the examinees with aggregated risk factors, the multi-site and combined screening mode has certain significance for the early diagnosis and screening of arteriosclerotic diseases.

Objective:To analyze the detection status and its influencing factors of ovarian-adnexal masses in the physical examination population based on the Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) of the American College of Radiology.Methods:This cross-sectional study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 24 316 physical examination participants who underwent gynecological color Doppler ultrasound examinations at the Health Management Center of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January to December 2021. The subjects were classified and followed-up according to O-RADS, and the detection rate and malignancy rate of ovarian-adnexal masses in different classifications were compared. According to O-RADS classification criteria, the physical examination population were divided into healthy control group (without ovarian-adnexal masses and O-RADS 1 class, 23 188 cases), benign group (O-RADS 2 class, 946 cases) and malignant group (O-RADS 3-5 class, 182 cases). The basic information of the three groups were compared, including age, body mass index (BMI), menopausal status, marital status, smoking history, drinking history, physical exercise, complete blood count, blood glucose, blood lipids, tumor markers, etc. The logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the detection of ovarian-adnexal masses.Results:A total of 24 316 individuals were included, 1 678 with ovario-adnexal masses were screened, among the cases, there were 550 normal premenopausal ovaries (32.78%), and 1 128 cases were confirmed with pathological masses (67.22%). Of the 318 cases with follow-up records, the malignancy rate for O-RADS 4 class was 50%, and for O-RADS 5 class, it was 100%, according to the follow-up results. The age ( OR=1.320, 95% CI: 1.055-1.653), BMI ( OR=0.972, 95% CI: 0.954-0.989), carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125) ( OR=1.090, 95% CI: 1.023-1.161), postmenopausal ( OR=0.919, 95% CI: 0.892-0.947) and married and cohabiting ( OR=0.921, 95% CI: 0.895-0.949) were positively correlated with risk of ovarian-adnexal masses (all P0.05). Conclusions:The O-RADS classification system has high application value in evaluating the malignant risk of ovarian-adnexal masses; the age, BMI, CA125 levels, menopausal status, and marital status are significant influencing factors for the detection of ovarian-adnexal masses.

Objective:To investigate the association between triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and early vascular aging measured by brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in young and middle-aged population.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 5 680 subjects aged 20 to 59 years who underwent health check-ups at the Health Management Center of General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January to December in 2020 were selected as the research subjects. All the research subjects completed the health risk assessment questionnaire, physical examination, laboratory test, and multi-functional vascular lesion detection. The TyG was calculated and the research subjects were divided into four groups with the quartiles of TyG (Q 1 to Q 4, with a cut-off value of 8.22, 8.60 and 9.01, respectively). The baPWV value was converted into a Z-score, and those with a Z-score above the 95th percentile were defined as having early vascular aging. The Spearman correlation method, multiple linear regression model, binary logistic regression model and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were used to analyze the association between TyG and early vascular aging. Results:Among the 5 680 middle-aged and young people included in the analysis, there were 3 117 males and 2 563 females, with an age of 46 (39, 52) years, a TyG of 8.60 (8.22, 9.01), and a baPWV of 1 279.25 (1 147.50, 1 434.25) cm/s. The prevalence rate of early vascular aging was 5.02% (285/5 680). Taking group Q 1 as the reference, in the multiple linear regression model adjusted for multiple factors, group Q 4 was significantly associated with a 47.64 (95% CI: 28.18-67.11) cm/s increase in baPWV ( P for trend<0.001). In the multivariate adjusted binary logistic regression model, compared with that in the Q 1 group, the OR of early vascular aging occurrence in the Q 2, Q 3, and Q 4 groups was 1.52 (95% CI: 0.75-3.07), 1.78 (95% CI: 0.89-3.58), and 3.04 (95% CI: 1.47-6.31), respectively. Elevated TyG level was positively correlated with the occurrence of early vascular aging ( P for trend<0.001). The AUC of TyG in predicting early vascular aging was 0.732 (95% CI: 0.704-0.759), with the optimal cut-off value being 8.86. The AUC of TyG in predicting early vascular aging in males was lower than that in females [0.665 (95% CI: 0.628-0.702) vs 0.796 (95% CI: 0.748-0.843)] ( P<0.001). Conclusions:There is a correlation between TyG and early vascular aging measured by baPWV in the middle-aged and young population. When TyG≥8.86, clinical intervention measures should be taken in a timely manner.
