With the integration of 5G communication technology and robotic surgical systems, remote robot-assisted thoracic surgery is overcoming geographical barriers, offering an innovative approach to addressing the uneven distribution of medical resources. This study conducted a systematic literature review—using databases such as PubMed and CNKI, with the search period extending up to 2025—incorporating clinical studies, case reports, and review articles to comprehensively evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 5G-enabled remote robot-assisted thoracic surgery (5G-RRATS). The analysis also examined current technological limitations and potential future development trajectories. Existing evidence indicates that, given adequate technical support, 5G-RRATS can achieve perioperative outcomes comparable to those of conventional local robotic surgeries across procedures including pulmonary wedge resection, lobectomy, and esophagectomy. Furthermore, it demonstrates potential advantages in minimizing surgical incisions and reducing intraoperative blood loss. Nevertheless, challenges related to network stability, latency control, interdisciplinary collaboration between medical and engineering teams, and legal, regulatory, and ethical considerations continue to hinder widespread clinical adoption. Looking ahead, the emergence of a "one-to-many" remote surgical model, combined with the integration of artificial intelligence and augmented reality technologies, as well as advancements in low-orbit satellite communications, may enable 5G-RRATS to further advance precision and efficiency in thoracic surgery, thereby facilitating equitable access to high-quality care for a broader patient population.

Premature ovarian insufficiency （POI） is a reproductive endocrine disorder that severely affects female reproductive health. However， there remains a lack of clinically effective and safe therapeutic options to restore ovarian function. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， with its advantages of multi-component and multi-target holistic regulation， has shown unique potential in the prevention and treatment of POI. Among TCM monomers， curcumin， resveratrol， and icariin exert antioxidant， anti-inflammatory， and anti-ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis effects by regulating signaling pathways such as nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1， phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B， and mitogen-activated protein kinase. Single TCM herbs， including American ginseng， Cuscutae Semen， and Cistanches Herba， can regulate sex hormone levels， and alleviate ovarian oxidative stress and immune damage. TCM compound formulas such as Yijing decoction， Siwu decoction， Zuogui pill， and Kuntai capsule modulate multiple signaling pathways， including vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2， phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin， and silence information regulator 1/p53， thereby promoting angiogenesis， inhibiting mitochondrial apoptosis， and regulating autophagy and ferroptosis， which ultimately delay follicular atresia and improve ovarian reserve function. Further studies are suggested to apply artificial intelligence to deeply explore the underlying mechanisms and carry out high-quality clinical trials， so as to promote the standardized application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of POI.

OBJECTIVE To predict and verify the mechanism of Jiawei qifang weitong granule in ameliorating precancerous lesions of gastric cancer （PLGC）. METHODS Transcriptomic data of PLGC-related were obtained from the GEO database to screen differentially expressed genes and conduct functional enrichment analysis. Targets related to gastric mucosal injury repair were screened via the GeneCards database. The active ingredient targets of Jiawei qifang weitong granule were predicted using the TCMSP and other databases. The intersection of differentially expressed genes， gastric mucosal repair targets and active ingredient targets was extracted. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed based on the STRING database， and the top 6 hub target genes with the highest connectivity were screened. A PLGC rat model was established by combining 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine with alternating fasting and full feeding. Model rats were divided into model group， weifuchun group （positive control， 0.40 g/kg）， low-， medium- and high-dose Jiawei qifang weitong granule groups （9.73， 19.44， 38.90 g/kg）， with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 unmodeled rats were set as control group. Rats in each group were intragastrically administered corresponding liquid medicine or normal saline once a day for 30 consecutive days. After the last administration， pathological morphological changes of rat gastric tissues were observed， and the mRNA expression levels of hub target genes as well as partial protein expression levels in gastric tissues were detected. RESULTS Transcriptomics and network pharmacology analyses revealed that the top 6 hub target genes ranked by connectivity included MMP9 （matrix metalloproteinase 9）， BCL2（B-cell lymphoma 2）， IL10（interleukin 10），ICAM1（intercellular adhesion molecule 1）， PTGS2 （prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2）， and HIF1A （hypoxia-inducible factor 1α subunit）. Animal experiments showed that compared with the model group， gastric mucosal pathological injury was significantly alleviated in medium- and high-dose Jiawei qifang weitong granule groups and weifuchun group. The pathological injury score of gastric mucosa， the mRNA expression levels of MMP9， PTGS2， ICAM1， BCL2 and HIF1A， as well as the protein expression levels of PTGS2 and BCL2 in gastric tissues were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）， while the mRNA expression level of IL10 was significantly increased （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Jiawei qifang weitong granule may ameliorate PLGC by targeted down-regulating the mRNA expression of MMP9， PTGS2， ICAM1， BCL2 and HIF1A， up-regulating IL10 mRNA expression， and regulating the imbalance between gastric mucosal inflammatory response and injury repair.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of Modified qifang weitong granules on gastric cancer based on in vitro and in vivo experiments. METHODS Human gastric cancer HGC-27 cells were divided into the following groups: control group （treated with fetal bovine serum）， 10% drug-containing serum group， 15% drug-containing serum group， 20% drug-containing serum group， and 5-fluorouracil （5-Fu） group （positive control， 3.90 μg/mL）. After culturing the cells in each group with the corresponding serum/drug solution， their proliferation， migratory and invasive abilities， as well as the cell cycle， were assessed. Additionally， the expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）-related proteins [E-cadherin， N-cadherin， and vimentin] in the cells were measured. Logarithmic-phase HGC-27 cells were harvested and subcutaneously injected into the right axillary region of nude mice to establish a subcutaneous xenograft tumor model in nude mice. The successfully modeled tumor-bearing nude mice were randomly divided into model group， low-， medium- and high-dose groups of Modified qifang weitong granules （17.65， 35.29 and 70.58 g/kg， respectively）， and 5-Fu group （25 mg/kg）， with 5 mice in each group. After 14 days of treatment with the corresponding drugs in each group， the histopathological morphology of the tumor tissues in the nude mice was observed. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot assay were employed to detect the expression levels of EMT- related proteins in the tumor tissues of the nude mice. RESULTS In the cell experiment， compared with the control group， the cell proliferation rate， migration rate， number of invasive cells， as well as the expression levels of N-cadherin and vimentin proteins， and the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase were all significantly decreased/reduced in the 15% drug-containing serum group， 20% drug-containing serum group （P＜0.05）. Conversely， the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase and the expression level of E- cadherin protein were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. In animal experiment， compared with the model group， the high-dose group of Modified qifang weitong granules exhibited significantly reduced tumor mass and expression levels of N-cadherin and vimentin proteins in the tumor tissues of nude mice （P＜0.05）， while the expression level of E-cadherinprotein in the tumor tissues was significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Additionally， the tumor cells varied in size and showed extensive necrosis. CONCLUSIONS Modified qifang weitong granules effectively inhibit gastric cancer in both in vitro and in vivo models， and the mechanism of action is related to the suppression of EMT.

Polygonatum sibiricum， as a traditional Chinese medicine with both medicinal and edible properties， has attracted considerable attention due to its functions of nourishing Yin and moistening the lungs， tonifying the spleen and benefiting Qi， and nourishing the kidneys and filling essence. Recent studies have demonstrated that Polygonatum sibiricum plays a significant role in regulating the immune system， effectively enhancing and improving the morphology and function of immune organs， stimulating the proliferation and activation of immune cells， and regulating the secretion and release of immune factors， thereby enhancing the immune function of the body and improving various immune-related diseases.

The median postoperative hospital stay was 4 (3-7) days, and the median pain scores on the third postoperative day were 3 (1-4), 3 (0-3), and 1 (0-3), respectively. Conclusion 5G remote robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is safe and effective, with good surgical experience, smooth operation and small intraoperative delay.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of dietary habits on the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in elderly individuals undergoing health check-ups.Methods:In the cross-sectional study, we enrolled individuals aged 60-70 years with fasting plasma glucose (FPG)≥6.0 mmol/L who underwent health examinations at the Health Management Medical Center of Wenjiang District People's Hospital in Chengdu from 2019 to 2022.Demographic characteristics, dietary habit questionnaires, and FPG values were collected.Unconditional binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing the natural progression from prediabetes to T2DM.A nomogram prediction model was established based on logistic regression results, and its predictive performance was evaluated by calculating the C-statistics and drawing a calibration curve.Results:A total of 13 681 elderly participants with FPG ≥6.0 mmol/L were included, comprising 4 306(31.5%)prediabetes cases(FPG 6.0-7.0 mmol/L), aged(63.54±16.49)years and 9 375(68.5%)T2DM cases(FPG>7.0 mmol/L), aged(63.09±16.21)years.Unconditional binary logistic regression analysis showed that frequent breakfast( OR=0.777, 95% CI: 0.696-0.868, P<0.001), dietary preference for light diet( OR=0.781, 95% CI: 0.710-0.858, P<0.001), salty taste( OR=0.571, 95% CI: 0.504-0.648, P<0.001), raw food( OR=0.327, 95% CI: 0.224-0.478, P<0.001)and spicy taste( OR=0.124, 95% CI: 0.112-0.137, P<0.001)were the protective factors for the conversion of prediabetes to the T2DM stage in the elderly physical examination population.While fast eating rate( OR=4.327, 95% CI: 3.978-4.772, P<0.001), dietary preference for sweets( OR=5.168, 95% CI: 4.703-5.678, P<0.001), and high-fat diet( OR=1.401, 95% CI: 1.275-1.539, P<0.001)were risk factors for conversion of prediabetes to T2DM stage.C-statistic of the Nomogram prediction model was 0.781; the goodness-of-fit test of the calibration curve was χ2=11.258, P=0.188, and the model predicted well. Conclusions:Regular breakfast, light diet, and dietary preferences for salty, raw, and spicy foods were protective factors for the transition from prediabetes to T2DM stage, whereas rapid eating rate, preference for sweets, and high-fat diets were risk factors for the transition from prediabetes to T2DM stage in the medical examination population.The constructed risk prediction model helped to find out the magnitude of the risk of T2DM in an individual, which increases the evidence for the transition from prediabetes to T2DM stage prevention evidence.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy（AIT） remains the only therapeutic approach with the potential to modify the natural course of allergic rhinitis（AR）. Nevertheless, considerable inter-individual variability exists in patients'responses to AIT. To facilitate more reliable assessment of treatment efficacy, the China Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group（CRRCG） convened young and middle-aged nasal experts in China to formulate the present consensus. The recommended subjective outcome measures for AIT comprise symptom scores, medication scores, combined symptom and medication scores, quality-of-life assessments, evaluation of disease control, and assessment of comorbidities. Objective indicators may supplement these measures. Currently available objective approaches include skin prick testing, nasal provocation testing, and allergen exposure chambers. However, these methods remain constrained by practical limitations and are not yet appropriate for routine implementation in clinical efficacy evaluation. In addition, several biomarkers, including sIgE and the sIgE/tIgE ratio, sIgG4, serum IgE-blocking activity, IgA, cytokines and chemokines, as well as immune cell surface molecules and their functional activity, have been shown to have associations with AIT outcomes. While these biomarkers may complement subjective assessments, they are subject to significant limitations. Consequently, large-scale multicenter trials and real-world evidence are required to strengthen the evidence base. The present consensus underscores the necessity of integrating patients'subjective experiences with objective testing throughout the treatment process, thereby providing a more comprehensive and accurate framework for efficacy evaluation. Looking forward, future investigations should prioritize the incorporation of multi-omics data and artificial intelligence methodologies, which hold promise for overcoming current limitations in assessment strategies and for advancing both the standardization and personalization of AIT.
