As the core vehicle for preserving and transmitting traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) academic thought and clinical experience, the establishment of a robust quality evaluation system for TCM clinical case reports is a crucial component in the current standardization and modernization of TCM. Based on the practical experience of constructing the China Clinical Cases Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine by the China Association of Chinese Medicine, this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of critical challenges, including insufficient authenticity and unfocused evaluation criteria. It proposed a three-dimensional evaluation framework grounded in the structure-process-outcome logic, encompassing three dimensions of authenticity and standardization, characteristics and advantages, application and translational impact. This framework integrated 12 key evaluation indicators in a systematic manner. The model preserved the academic characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, while aligning with modern scientific research standards, achieving a balance between individualized TCM experience and standardized evaluation. Concurrently, this study provided theoretical foundations and methodological guidance for evaluating the quality of TCM clinical cases, contributing significantly to the inheritance of TCM knowledge, evidence-based practice, and the reform of talent evaluation mechanisms.

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.

In hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD), the programmed cell death known as ferroptosis is significantly activated. Microglial cells demonstrate a high level of sensitivity to iron accumulation. Understanding how to regulate the dual role of microglia and transforming the microglial ferroptosis to a moderate and controllable process has considerable implications for the targeted treatment in HIBD. This paper serves as an overview of microglia-mediated ferroptosis in HIBD as a disease model. We discuss various aspects centered around microglia, including pathophysiological mechanisms, polarization and functions of microglia, molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis, signaling pathways, and therapeutic strategies. The review aims to provide a reference for studies of ferroptosis in microglia.

BACKGROUND:
SMARCA2 (SWI/SNF Related, Matrix Associated, Actin Dependent Regulator of Chromatin, Subfamily A, Member 2) is an important ATPase catalytic subunit in the switch-sucrose nonfermenting (SWI/SNF) complex. However, its relationship with the pathological features of NSCLC and its prognosis remain unclear.
METHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed 2390 patients with surgically resected NSCLC, constructed tissue microarrays (TMAs) and performed immunohistochemical assays. We analyzed the correlation of SAMRCA2 with clinicopathological features and evaluated its prognostic value.
RESULTS:
Among 2390 NSCLC cases, the negative expression ratios of SAMRCA2, SMARCA4, ARID1A, ARID1B and INI1 were 9.3%, 1.8%, 1.2%, 0.4% and 0%, respectively. In NSCLC, male sex, T3 and T4 stage, moderate and poor differentiation, tumor ≥ 2 cm, Ki67 ≥ 15%, SOX-2 negative expression, middle lobe lesion and adenocarcinoma were relative risk factors affecting SMARCA2-negative expression. In lung adenocarcinomas, high-grade nuclei, histological morphology of acinar and papillary, solid and micropapillary and TTF-1-negative expression were relative risk factors affecting SMARCA2-negative expression. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the OS was shorter in the SMARCA2-negative group. Multivariate survival analysis revealed that SMARCA2-negative expression was an independent factor correlated with a poor prognosis in NSCLC.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, SMARCA2-negative expression is an independent predictor of a poor outcome of NSCLC and is a potential target for NSCLC treatment.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of Icaritin Ⅱ (ICAⅡ) on bladder in radiation cystitis model.Methods:A total of 18 10-week-old male SD rats were selected from July 2021 to March 2022 and divided into control group, model group and treatment group by random number table method, with 6 cases in each group. Model group and treatment group were given a single dose of 20 Gy X-ray irradiation in the pelvic area. 24 h after irradiation, the treatment group was given ICAⅡ 4.5 mg/(kg·d) gavage, while the control group and model group were given the same volume of solvent (10% anhydrous ethanol, 20% isopropyl alcohol, 30% polyethylene glycol and 40% deionized water) gavage for 4 consecutive weeks. Drug eluting for 1 week. The bladder volume and leakage point pressure of the three groups of rats were measured by multi-conducting physiological apparatus, and the bladder function was evaluated. HE staining, Masson staining, ELISA, TUNEL staining and western blotting were performed on the bladder samples of the three groups of rats. The pathological changes (thickness of bladder mucosa, ratio of smooth muscle to collagen fiber), oxidative stress level (superoxide dismutase SOD, malondialdehyde), apoptosis rate, protein levels of inflammatory factors (IL-6, NF-kB) and anti-oxidative stress signaling pathway factors (Nrf2, HO-1) of the three groups of rats were compared.Results:After 4 weeks of modeling, in the model group, the bladder volume [(1.01±0.12)ml vs. (1.58±0.21)ml, P=0.001], the bladder leakage point pressure [(38.79±4.12) cmH 2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa)vs.(60.59±3.81) cmH 2O, P=0.001], the ratio of smooth muscle of bladder wall to collagen fiber [1.78±0.17 vs.3.15±0.57, P=0.001], SOD[(6.31±0.73) U/mg vs.(14.67±1.04) U/mg, P=0.001] were lower than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant. In the model group, the thickness of bladder mucosa [(47.33±1.78)μm vs.(20.83±2.33)μm, =, P=0.001], malondialdehyde [(1.01±0.13) nmol/mg vs.(0.49±0.03) nmol/mg, P=0.001], IL-6 (0.87±0.11 vs. 0.33±0.10, P=0.001), NF-kB (0.71±0.14 vs. 0.29±0.07, P=0.001), apoptosis rate [(11.60±3.04)% vs. (3.91±1.40)%, P=0.007] was higher than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant. In the treatment group, the bladder volume [(1.27±0.13)ml, P=0.030], bladder leakage point pressure [(47.83±2.50)cmH 2O, P=0.004], smooth muscle to collagen fiber ratio (2.78±0.68, P=0.015), SOD[(10.48±0.85) U/mg, Compared with model group, bladder mucosa thickness [(31.94±3.20)μm, P=0.001], malondialdehyde [(0.64±0.09) nmol/mg, P=0.001], IL-6 (0.69±0.11, P=0.035), NF-kB (0.45±0.06, P=0.002) and apoptosis rate [(6.05±0.60)%, P=0.030] were lower than those in model group. The protein expression level of Nrf2 in model group (0.73±0.08 vs. 0.58±0.11, P=0.023) was higher than that in control group, but there was no significant difference in the protein expression level of downstream antioxidant factor HO-1 (0.50±0.14 vs. 0.35±0.06, P=0.060). Nrf2 protein expression level (0.88±0.03, P=0.027) and HO-1 expression level (0.68±0.07, P=0.026) in treatment group were higher than those in model group. Conclusion:ICAⅡ can reduce radiation cystitis injury, and its mechanism may be related to anti-oxidative stress and reducing inflammation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of six degree of freedom (6-DOF) bed combined with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the on-line correction of setup errors in patients with primary rectal cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 17 patients with primary rectal cancer in Department of Radiotherapy, Third Hospital of Peking University from July 2013 to January 2014 were collected. There were 14 males and 3 females, a median age of 65 years. The difference of CBCT and 6-DOF bed combined with CBCT online correction of patients with positioning error were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Before position correction, the first CBCT verification of setup errors in the three translation directions including X (left and right), Y (in and out) and Z (up and down) directions were (0.06±0.25) cm, (0.13±0.40) cm and (-0.28±0.31) cm, respectively. The setup errors of RX (rotation pitch), RY(rolling) and RZ (left and right rotation) directions were (0.62±1.15)°, (-0.19±0.99)°, and (-0.34 ± 0.84)°, respectively . After correction of IGRT combined with six freedom of bed, the setup errors of translation X, Y and Z were (0.01±0.09) cm, (-0.01±0.05) cm and (-0.03±0.08) cm, respectively, and the setup errors of rotation RX, RY and RZ directions were (-0.16±0.40)°, (0.36±0.31)°and (-0.01±0.25)°, respectively. There were significant differences in translation direction (X, Y and Z direction) and rotation direction (Rx, RY and RZ) before and after 6-DOF bed combined with CBCT correction (all P<0.05). In the translation direction, the higher frequency range of Z-direction error value was 0.20-0.79 cm. In the rotation direction, the frequency range of error in Rx direction was 0.20°-2.99°. There was no significant difference between bone mode and gray scale model registration ( P>0.05). With the progress of radiotherapy, the setup errors of X, Z, Rx, RY and RZ directions increased except Y direction. Conclusions:In radiotherapy, six freedom bed combined with CBCT is helpful to correct the setup errors of patients with primary rectal cancer. Six freedom bed may be used to correct the setup errors of patients with primary rectal cancer online. Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is recommended for bone pattern registration in patients with rectal cancer.
