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.

Objective:To construct a shoulder and neck functional exercise program for patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillary approach and to explore its effectiveness.Methods:The first draft of the shoulder and neck functional exercise program for patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillary approach was constructed through literature review, and two rounds of expert consultation were conducted with 20 experts to determine the final draft of the program with the results of the pretest. A total of 98 patients who underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillary approach in the Department of Thyroid Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2023 to January 2024 were selected for the study using the convenience sampling method. Patients from September to December 2023 were set up as control group and patients from October 2023 to January 2024 were set up as experimental group, with 49 patients in each group. Control group implemented routine nursing, and experimental group received the shoulder and neck functional exercise program developed in this study on the basis of control group. Constant-Murley Score score, occurrence of numbness in the chest wall access area, and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire scores in cancer patients were compared between the two groups at one week, one month, and three months post-intervention.Results:In the two rounds of expert consultation, the effective questionnaire recovery rates were 85.00% (17/20) and 94.12% (16/17), and the coefficient of the expert familiarity was 0.938, the coefficient of basis of judgment was 0.891, and the coefficient of authority was 0.915. The coefficients of variation for the importance ratings of the entries in the second round of consultation were 0.096 to 0.190 and Kendall's harmony coefficient was 0.155 ( P<0.01). The shoulder and neck function exercise program for patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillary approach included three first-level items, five second-level items, and 13 third-level items. At one week post-intervention, the difference in occurrence of numbness in the chest wall access area was statistically significant in both groups ( P<0.05). At one month post-intervention, the differences in shoulder function scores, occurrence of numbness in the chest wall access area, and quality of life scores between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At three months post-intervention, the differences in shoulder function scores and quality of life scores between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:The shoulder and neck function exercise program for patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillary approach has certain scientific validity and feasibility, which can improve the shoulder and neck function of patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy by axillary approach, reduce the numbness in the chest wall access area, and improve the quality of life of the patients in the postoperative period.

Objective:To study the effect of anti-melanoma differentiation-related gene 5(MDA5) antibody positive dermatomyositis on the heart of patients.Methods:A total of 71 patients with dermatomyositis diagnosed in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2019 were enrolled as the sample group, including anti-MDA5 (+) group( n=28); anti-MDA5(-) groups( n=43). Electrocardiogram and echocardiography were performed in the sample group and the control group. The electrocardiogram, echocardiography and other relevant clinical data of the anti-MDA5 (+) group, anti-MDA5 (-) group and the healthy control group were retrospectively analyzed. The logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze the related factors influencing cardiac involvement in anti-MDA5 (+) patients. Results:In the anti-MDA5 (+) group, more than half of the patients showed elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase (21/28, 75%) and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (16/28, 57%), and 11%(3/28) showed elevated levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme and myoglobin. Compared with the anti-MDA5 (-) group, the white blood cell count in the blood routine of the anti-MDA5 (+) group [5.2 (4.0, 6.5) ×10 9/L vs. 7.8 (5.6, 10.6)×10 9/L, Z=-3.447, P=0.001], creatine kinase [62.5 (29.3, 108.3) U/L vs. 481.0 (179.0, 2 738.0) U/L, Z=-5.895, P<0.001], lactate dehydrogenase [313.0 (239.0, 362.0) U/L vs. 448.0 (291.0, 542.0) U/L, Z=-3.236, P<0.001], creatine kinase isoenzyme [1.9 (1.1, 3.9)ng/ml vs. 17.7 (4.0, 67.2) ng/ml, Z=-4.724, P<0.001], myoglobin [28.2 (20.0, 43.0) ng/ml vs. 307.4 (48.1, 612.2) ng/ml, Z=-4.800, P<0.001]. Electrocardiogram analysis showed that QRS axis [33.5±265.9 vs. 46.9±22.4, t=-2.900, P=0.004], SV1 amplitude [0.7 (0.4, 0.9) vs. 0.9 (0.7, 1.0), Z=-2.148, P=0.023] in anti-MDA5 antibody (+) group in anti-MDA5 antibody (+) group were lower than anti-MDA5 antibody (-) group. QRS duration [84.0 (78.0, 96.5) vs.92.0 (87.8, 100.5), Z=-2.900, P=0.004], QRS axis [33.5±265.9 vs. 46.9±20.4, Z=-2.32, P=0.023] in the anti-MDA5 antibody (+) group were lower than those in healthy control group. Echocardiographic analysis showed that the E peak of anti-MDA5 (+) group [63.0 (52.5, 69.5)] was significantly lower than that of anti-MDA5 (-) group [85.0 (68.0, 108.0), Z=-4.926, P<0.001)]and healthy control group [67.0 (62.8, 80.3), Z=-2.897, P=0.004].

There was no significant difference in echocardiographic findi-ngs among the other groups. All patients with anti-MDA5 (+) dermatomyositis had interstitial lung disease (28/28, 100%). Patients with MDA5 antibody (+++) are more likely to have cardiac involvement than patients with MDA5 antibody (++). Conclusion:The results of relevant examinations in anti-MDA5-DM patients suggest that there is damage to myocardial cells and cardiac function.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of atherosclerotic index of plasma(AIP)for the risk of coronary heart disease(CHD)in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 299 patients with NAFLD.Based on presence or absence of CHD,the patients were divided into NAFLD with CHD group(n=177)and NAFLD group(n=122).Clinical data were collected from both groups,and AIP was calculat-ed.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the independent risk factors for CHD in patients with NAFLD.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to evalu-ate the predictive value of AIP for the risk of CHD in patients with NAFLD.Results The NAFLD with CHD group had a higher proportion of males,smokers,and higher levels of alanine aminotrans-ferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),γ-glutamyltransferase(GGT),uric acid(UA),and AIP than the NAFLD group.The NAFLD with CHD group also had lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)than the NAFLD group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that males(OR=2.548,95％CI,1.402 to 4.632,P=0.002),high levels of AST(OR=1.038,95％CI,1.002 to 1.077,P=0.041),high levels of LDL-C(OR=1.811,95％CI,1.242 to 2.640,P=0.002),and high AIP(OR=16.117,95％CI,1.874 to 138.609,P=0.011)were independent risk factors for CHD in patients with NAFLD(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that AIP had an area under the curve of 0.746(95％CI,0.688 to 0.804)for pre-dicting CHD in patients with NAFLD,with a sensitivity of 76.3％and a specificity of 73.0％.Conclusion AIP is an independent influencing factor for CHD in patients with NAFLD and has certain predictive value for the risk of CHD in these patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical diagnosis and treatment of IgG4-related disease（IgG4-RD） primarily involving the nasal cavity and skull base. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 8 patients with IgG4-RD primarily involving the nasal cavity and skull base who visited the Nasal and Skull Base Surgery Department at Xiangya Hospital from October 2017 to January 2024. The cohort comprised 4 males and 4 females, aged 8 to 69 years. Clinical data, laboratory examination results, imaging findings, histopathological results, and treatment plans were collected. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up results of IgG4-RD primarily involving nasal cavity and skull base were summarized and previous literature were also reviewed. Results:The initial symptoms in the 8 patients included nasal congestion, headache, sensory function decline, and facial deformities. Three patients also had parotid and pulmonary involvement. Among the 8 patients, 4 underwent partial surgical resection combined with glucocorticoid therapy; 1 underwent partial surgical resection combined with glucocorticoid and immunosuppressant therapy; 1 received glucocorticoid therapy alone; and 2 received glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressant therapy. Follow-up was conducted one month after treatment, lasting from 5 to 79 months. During the follow-up period, recurrence was observed in 1 patient treated with glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressants and in 1 patient treated with glucocorticoid alone, while the other 6 patients achieved significant remission. Conclusion:The diagnosis of nasal cavity and skull base IgG4-RD requires the combination of histopathology, laboratory tests, and imaging results. Treatment primarily includes glucocorticoids or combined immunosuppressants. For patients with significant compression symptoms, sensory function impairment, or facial deformities, surgical resection is an important treatment option. Given the high risk of recurrence, early intervention, active treatment, and long-term follow-up are crucial.

Objective:Progressive bone resorption and destruction is one of the most critical clinical features of middle ear cholesteatoma,potentially leading to various intracranial and extracranial complications.However,the mechanisms underlying bone destruction in middle ear cholesteatoma remain unclear.This study aims to explore the role of parathyroid hormone-related protein(PTHrP)in bone destruction associated with middle ear cholesteatoma. Methods:A total of 25 cholesteatoma specimens and 13 normal external auditory canal skin specimens were collected from patients with acquired middle ear cholesteatoma.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expressions of PTHrP,receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappa B ligand(RANKL),and osteoprotegerin(OPG)in cholesteatoma and normal tissues.Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)staining was used to detect the presence of TRAP positive multi-nucleated macrophages in cholesteatoma and normal tissues.Mono-nuclear macrophage RAW264.7 cells were subjected to interventions,divided into a RANKL intervention group and a PTHrP+RANKL co-intervention group.TRAP staining was used to detect osteoclast formation in the 2 groups.The mRNA expression levels of osteoclast-related genes,including TRAP,cathepsin K(CTSK),and nuclear factor of activated T cell cytoplasmic 1(NFATc1),were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction(real-time PCR)after the interventions.Bone resorption function of osteoclasts was assessed using a bone resorption pit analysis. Results:Immunohistochemical staining showed significantly increased expression of PTHrP and RANKL and decreased expression of OPG in cholesteatoma tissues(all P<0.05).PTHrP expression was significantly positively correlated with RANKL,the RANKL/OPG ratio,and negatively correlated with OPG expression(r=0.385,r=0.417,r=-0.316,all P<0.05).Additionally,the expression levels of PTHrP and RANKL were significantly positively correlated with the degree of bone destruction in cholesteatoma(r=0.413,r=0.505,both P<0.05).TRAP staining revealed a large number of TRAP-positive cells,including multi-nucleated osteoclasts with three or more nuclei,in the stroma surrounding the cholesteatoma epithelium.After 5 days of RANKL or PTHrP+RANKL co-intervention,the number of osteoclasts was significantly greater in the PTHrP+RANKL co-intervention group than that in the RANKL group(P<0.05),with increased mRNA expression levels of TRAP,CTSK,and NFATc1(all P<0.05).Scanning electron microscopy of bone resorption pits showed that the number(P<0.05)and size of bone resorption pits on bone slices were significantly greater in the PTHrP+RANKL co-intervention group compared with the RANKL group. Conclusion:PTHrP may promote the differentiation of macrophages in the surrounding stroma of cholesteatoma into osteoclasts through RANKL induction,contributing to bone destruction in middle ear cholesteatoma.

Objective:Middle ear cholesteatoma is a non-tumorous condition that typically leads to hearing loss,bone destruction,and other severe complications.Despite surgery being the primary treatment,the recurrence rate remains high.Therefore,exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying cholesteatoma is crucial for discovering new therapeutic approaches.This study aims to explore the involvement of N6-methyladenosine(m6A)methylation in long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)in the biological functions and related pathways of middle ear cholesteatoma. Methods:The m6A modification patterns of lncRNA in middle ear cholesteatoma tissues(n=5)and normal post-auricular skin tissues(n=5)were analyzed using an lncRNA m6A transcriptome microarray.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analyses were conducted to identify potential biological functions and signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of middle ear cholesteatoma.Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation(MeRIP)-PCR was used to validate the m6A modifications in cholesteatoma and normal skin tissues. Results:Compared with normal skin tissues,1 525 lncRNAs were differentially methylated in middle ear cholesteatoma tissues,with 1 048 showing hypermethylation and 477 showing hypomethylation[fold change(FC)≥3 or<1/3,P<0.05].GO enrichment analysis indicated that hypermethylated lncRNAs were involved in protein phosphatase inhibitor activity,neuron-neuron synapse,and regulation of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid(AMPA)receptor activity.Hypomethylated lncRNAs were associated with mRNA methyltransferase activity,secretory granule membrane,and mRNA methylation.KEGG analysis revealed that hypermethylated lncRNAs were mainly associated with 5 pathways:the Hedgehog signaling pathway,viral protein interaction with cytokines and cytokine receptors,mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway,cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction,and adrenergic signaling in cardiomyocytes.Hypomethylated lncRNAs were mainly involved in 4 pathways:Renal cell carcinoma,tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway,transcriptional misregulation in cancer,and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction.Additionally,MeRIP-PCR confirmed the changes in m6A methylation levels in NR_033339,NR_122111,NR_130744,and NR_026800,consistent with microarray analysis.Real-time PCR also confirmed the significant upregulation of MAPK1 and NF-κB,key genes in the MAPK signaling pathway. Conclusion:This study reveals the m6A modification patterns of lncRNAs in middle ear cholesteatoma,suggests a direction for further research into the role of lncRNA m6A modification in the etiology of cholesteatoma.The findings provide potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of middle ear cholesteatoma.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of A-PRF in the preservation of alveolar ridge after tooth extraction.Methods:Electronic databases of VIP,CNKI,Wanfang,CQVIP,Medline,Pubmed and Cochrane library were searched.The meta-analysis was performed by using Revman 5.4.Results:5 RCTs including 217 patients were identified.A-PRF can significantly reduce the vertical bone absorption of the extraction socket,can increase the amount of new bone formation in the extraction socket(P＜0.05).However,A-PRF can not effectively reduce the horizontal bone absorption and can not improve the bone density in the extraction socket(P＞0.05).Conclusion:A-PRF is effective in the alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction.
