Objective To analyze the monitoring results of occupational hazard factors (OHF) in the workplace of key industries in Shaoguan City from 2021 to 2024. Methods A total of 486 enterprises of key industries in Shaoguan City, selected from the "Occupational Diseases Hazardous Items Reporting System" and the "Guangdong Provincial Occupational Health Quality Control Platform" from 2021 to 2024, were used as the research subjects. Data on the declaration of occupational hazard projects, the exposure to OHF and the occupational medical examinations for workers, the usage of protective equipment and the setup of protection facilities in enterprises, and the monitoring results of OHF were analyzed. Results From 2021 to 2024, a total of 486 enterprises of key industries in Shaoguan City were monitored, and the detection rate of OHF exceeding national standard was 57.0%. The exceedance rates in medium/large enterprises and small/micro enterprises were 67.1% and 55.0%, respectively. A total of 51 771 worker-exposures to OHF were recorded, with an exposure rate of 55.8%. Training coverage for enterprise managers, occupational health personnel, and workers were 96.7%, 97.1%, and 98.7%, respectively. Abnormal rates in occupational medical examinations were 3.3%, 0.2%, and 0.8% among workers exposed to noise, dust, and chemical factors, respectively. Provision rates of dust respirators, chemical respirators, hearing protection devices (earplugs and earmuffs) were 93.2%, 85.4% and 86.8%, respectively, with wearing compliance rates of 98.7%, 98.8% and 97.1%. Installation rates of dust control, chemical hazard control, and noise control facilities were 97.2%, 90.3%, and 69.9%, respectively, and all facilities were 100.0% effective. Exceedance rates for OHF and noise increased annually (all P<0.05), whereas those for dust and chemical factors decreased (all P<0.05). The exceedance rates of work position from high to low were dust (18.1%), noise (17.1%) and chemical factors (6.4%). Lead-related position had the highest exceedance rate (31.9%). Industries with higher exceedance rates included metal products manufacturing (27.3%), ferrous metal smelting and rolling (24.1%), and non-metallic mineral products manufacturing (23.7%). Conclusion Workplaces in key industries of Shaoguan City face relatively high risks of occupational hazards. It is essential to focus on noise management, with efforts to strengthen occupational health supervision and guidance for small/micro enterprises as well as industries with severe occupational hazards, promoting the standardization of occupational health management.

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.

China is facing the double burden of high incidence of lung cancer and tuberculosis epidemic. Lung cancer combined with tuberculosis has a high incidence and complexity in clinical practice. High-risk groups include immunocompromised people, long-term smokers and people with a history of tuberculosis. The coexistence of the two diseases not only increases the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment decision-making, but also increases the risk of treatment-related adverse reactions and drug interactions. The guideline was developed by Committee of Integrated Rehabilitation for Lung Cancer, Chinese Anti-Cancer Association; Chinese and Western Integrated Lung Cancer Committee of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association; Society of Tuberculosis, Chinese Medical Association, aiming to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. The guideline emphasizes the core position of combined diagnosis of multimodal imaging, etiology and pathology. It is proposed that anti-tuberculosis and anti-tumor treatment should be coordinated under the framework of multidisciplinary team, and drug interactions and timing optimization should be paid attention to. For surgical treatment, minimally invasive resection combined with systematic lymph node dissection is recommended after infection control. Systemic therapy requires individualized risk stratification and dynamic monitoring of efficacy and adverse reactions. Based on evidence-based medicine and Chinese clinical practice, combined with the accessibility of drugs and technologies, this guideline proposes a whole-process management pathway covering screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, in order to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with early gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma(EGCLS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 27 consecutive patients with EGCLS who underwent radical surgery at The Second People's Hospital of Changzhou between January 2007 and December 2023.Sixty-nine cases of conventional early gastric carcinoma with matched T stages were randomly selected as controls.Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of P53,mismatch repair(MMR)proteins,programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1),E-cadherin,and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)in the study cohort.FISH analysis was conducted on HER2 2+cases,and in situ hybridization was used to detect Epstein-Barr virus(EBV).Res-ults:No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of patient sex,age,tumor location,size,ulceration,lymph-ovascular or perineural invasion,tumor budding grade,P53 expression,or MMR protein deficiency.The EGCLS group showed significantly higher proportions of SM2 invasion(88.9%),poor tumor differentiation(70.4%),pushing tumor border(48.1%),PD-L1 positivity(59.3%),Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA(EBER)positivity(55.6%),and abnormal E-cadherin expression(48.1%)compared to the control group(59.4%,46.4%,18.8%,24.6%,1.4%,and 23.2%,respectively;P<0.05).The frequency of lymph node metastasis(7.4%)and the pro-portion of elevated macroscopic type(14.8%)in the EGCLS group were significantly lower than in the control group(30.4%and 40.6%,re-spectively;P<0.05).Lymphovascular invasion,tumor budding grade,and non-EGCLS status were identified as risk factors for lymph node metastasis,with lymphovascular invasion being the only independent risk factor.Conclusions:EGCLS is a rare subtype of early gastric car-cinoma characterized by a low frequency of lymph node metastasis and a high proportion of EBER positivity or MMR protein deficiency.En-doscopic resection or immunotherapy may be preferred treatment options for patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery.

Cardiovascular diseases(CVD)remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide,with complex pathogenic mechanisms.Mitochondrial dysfunction,a key hallmark in CVD pathology,disrupts cellular homeostasis through oxidative stress,calcium imbalance,and reduced ATP production,ultimately damaging cardiomyocytes.Mitopha-gy,a selective autophagy process,plays a crucial protective role by degrading dysfunctional mitochondria,thus maintain-ing mitochondrial quality and quantity balance in cells.Recent studies have highlighted the significant regulatory role of mitophagy in various CVD pathological processes,including heart failure,myocardial infarction,ischemia/reperfusion in-jury,hypertension,and atherosclerosis.Notably,a variety of drugs have been shown good potential in the targeted regula-tion of mitophagy activity,which provides a new idea for the treatment of CVD.This review systematically elucidates the latest advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms,pathophysiological functions,and potential therapeutic appli-cations of mitophagy in CVD.It provides a theoretical foundation for deepening our comprehension of CVD pathogenesis and developing innovative treatment strategies,offering new insights into cardiovascular disease management.

Objective:To evaluate a novel self-designed elbow flexion-extension axis guide that is easy to operate, accurately positioned, and X-ray-free.Methods:This study collected the elbow joint CT scans from 60 normal adults [40 males and 20 females with an age of (38.1±9.3) years] at Department of Orthopedics, The Third Hospital of Xiamen between September and December 2024. The scan images were imported into 3D modeling software for systematic measurement of key anatomical parameters of the distal humerus. The structural design of a novel elbow flexion-extension axis guide was completed based on these measurements, combined with the anatomical data of the distal humerus reported in 6 relevant articles between January 2008 and December 2024 retrieved from the CNKI and PubMed databases. After physical models of the distal humerus from the 60 healthy adults were fabricated using 3D printing technology, they were divided into 2 even groups: a guide-assisted group ( n=30) where the positioning needle was inserted with the assistance of the elbow flexion-extension axis guide and a conventional group ( n=30) where the positioning needle was inserted freehand. The entry deviation, exit deviation, inter-axial angle, inter-axial distance, operation time, and fluoroscopic verifications in positioning of elbow flexion-extension axis were compared between the 2 groups. Results:The guide-assisted group demonstrated significantly smaller values than the conventional group in entry deviation [(1.52±0.70) mm versus (2.29±1.00) mm], exit deviation [(2.83±1.49) mm versus (4.95±1.63) mm], inter-axial angle (3.46°±0.93° versus 6.45°±1.21°), and operation time [(92.0±17.0) s versus (509.5±42.3) s] (all P<0.05). The conventional group required an average of (10.7±2.1) fluoroscopic verifications, while the guide-assisted group eliminated radiation exposure. No statistically significant difference was observed in the inter-axial distance between the 2 methods in positioning of elbow flexion-extension axis ( P>0.05). Conclusion:As the novel self-designed elbow flexion-extension axis guide can improve accuracy in positioning the elbow flexion-extension axis without requiring fluoroscopy, it significantly shortens intraoperative positioning time, and is handy to use.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of a fully autonomous ultrasound robot in splenic ultrasound imaging.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted by enrolling 56 adult volunteers from the Third Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital between February 1-8，2024 as research subjects.A senior physician sequentially performed splenic ultrasound examinations using both the fully autonomous ultrasound robot and a matched portable ultrasound device. The acquired images were randomly coded and scored via a double-blind method by 3 physicians. The differences of the image quality scores and high-quality image proportions between the two groups were compared. Examination durations were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:Both modalities successfully acquired splenic images in all 56 volunteers. No statistically significant differences were observed in image quality scores among the 3 physicians：（3.52 ± 1.31）points vs.（3.83 ± 1.23）points，（2.77 ± 1.23）points vs.（3.17 ± 1.17）points，and（3.48 ± 0.97）points vs.（3.79 ± 0.94）points（all P>0.05）. The numbers of images scoring ≥ 3 points showed no significant differences：45（80.36%） vs. 50（89.29%），30（53.57%） vs. 38（67.86%），and 48（85.71%） vs. 52（92.86%）（all P>0.05）. The fully autonomous ultrasound robot required significantly longer examination time［（60.86 ± 50.55）s vs.（7.95 ± 4.35）s， t=6.88， P＜0.01］. Conclusions:The fully autonomous ultrasound robot demonstrates comparable image quality and clinically acceptable image proportions to conventional portable ultrasound in splenic examinations. These findings suggest its potential equivalence to operator-dependent ultrasound for splenic imaging，supporting its feasibility as an alternative ultrasound modality despite longer procedural duration.
