Objective To investigate the post-discharge exercise behavior and factors influencing moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in patients undergoing lung surgery. Methods A total of 2874 patients from the large prospective, observational perioperative lung symptom study cohort (CN-PRO-Lung 3) in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital between April 7, 2021, and January 31, 2024, were selected as the survey subjects. A survey was conducted using the Investigation of Exercise Behavior after Lung Surgery questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) among patients who underwent lung surgery. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing patients’ engagement in MVPA. Results A total of 702 patients were surveyed, including 252 males and 450 females, with an average age of (52.4±10.2) years. Patients with lung cancer accounted for 85.9%. Only 36.0% of the patients had regular exercise habits, while 42.3% did not engage in any physical activity. The three main barriers for postoperative exercise were physical discomfort (pain, coughing, shortness of breath, etc, 54.7%), lack of professional guidance (41.7%), and concerns about the surgical wound (28.9%). The proportions of patients engaging in vigorous, moderate, and low-intensity physical activity were 5.7%, 28.2%, and 66.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with a personal annual income ≥50000 yuan (OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.01-2.29, P=0.044), high school education or above (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.33-2.76, P<0.001), and lobectomy (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.02-2.03, P=0.037) engaged in more MVPA. Conclusion Patients undergoing lung surgery have inadequate physical activity after discharge, particularly lacking in MVPA. Patients with higher income, higher educational levels, and lobectomy are more frequently engaged in MVPA. Measures such as symptom control, providing exercise guidance, and enhancing education on wound care may potentially improve the inadequate physical activity in lung surgery patients after discharge.

Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common long-term complication following lung surgery. Its high incidence significantly impacts patients’ quality of life and functional recovery, and imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden. This consensus aims to systematically establish a standardized integrated Chinese and Western medicine diagnostic and treatment framework for chronic post-lung surgery pain (CPLSP). Based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical research and multidisciplinary clinical experience, the working group comprehensively elaborates on core issues regarding CPLSP, including its definition, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical assessment, Western medical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, and integrated strategies. The consensus emphasizes a patient-centered approach, adhering to the principles of multimodality, individualization, and stepwise management, highlighting the synergistic advantages of integrating Chinese and Western medicine throughout the entire perioperative management cycle encompassing "perioperative anti-inflammation, acute analgesia, and chronic rehabilitation." Through systematic literature retrieval and evidence integration, a total of 9 core recommendations were established to provide scientifically sound and clinically practical guidance.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mRNA expression profile and clinical significance of the RAB24 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） based on multi-source database including The Cancer Genome Atlas （TCGA） and clinical cohort validation. MethodsData from TCGA （n=424） were utilized to evaluate the prognostic value of RAB24 expression via Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression models. An independent clinical cohort comprising 90 HCC and 30 paracancerous tissues was established to validate protein expression and histopathological features through immunohistochemistry （IHC） and routine histological staining. The TIMER database was employed to analyze the association between RAB24 and the tumor microenvironment （TME）. Furthermore， integrated with LinkedOmics， GSEA and GSVA algorithms were used to quantitatively characterize the core molecular pathways regulated by RAB24. ResultsThe mRNA expression level of RAB24 in HCC was significantly higher than that in non-tumor liver tissues （P<0.05）. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the overall survival （OS） of patients in the RAB24 low-expression group was significantly longer compared to the high-expression group （HR=1.570， Log-rank P=0.01）. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis demonstrated that RAB24 expression （HR=1.480， P=0.028）， T stage （HR=2.949， P<0.001）， M stage （HR=4.077， P=0.017）， and tumor residual status （HR=2.317， P<0.001） were independent prognostic factors for HCC. RAB24 expression was highly correlated with alpha-fetoprotein （AFP） levels and immune infiltration levels （P<0.01）， and showed a significant， low-level positive correlation with the TP53 gene （Rho=0.31， P<0.01）. Quantitative analysis of the RAB24 protein in clinical samples validated that RAB24 expression in HCC tissues was significantly elevated compared to non-tumor liver tissues （P<0.05）. TIMER analysis confirmed that RAB24 expression was highly associated with the infiltration of multiple immune cells （such as B cells and NK cells）， as well as stromal and tumor purity scores in tumor tissues （P<0.01）. GSEA/GSVA enrichment revealed that the P53， MYC， and mTORC1 signaling pathways were activated in the RAB24 high-expression group； correlation analysis confirmed that the RAB24 expression level exhibited a significant， low-level positive correlation with the ribosome pathway activity score （r=0.23， P<0.01）. ConclusionsThe RAB24 gene， as a poor prognostic factor for HCC patients， is a potential biomarker for HCC diagnosis， treatment and prognosis. The study is expected to lay a theoretical foundation for the precise diagnosis and treatment of clinical HCC.

Objective To investigate the safety of intravascular lithotripsy(IVL)and coronary rotational atherectomy(RA)in the management of coronary artery calcification(CAC).Methods In this retrospective,matched-pair cohort study,210 patients with severe CAC treated at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University between December 2021 and April 2025 were enrolled.The cohort was equally divided into two interventional groups:IVL group(n=105)and RA group(n=105),based on the revascularization strategy employed.Procedure parameters,postoperative biochemical markers of myocardial injury,and incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)were compared between the two groups.Results Before propensity score matching(PSM),statistically significant differences were observed in terms of the proportions of the left anterior descending artery(77.1％vs.63.8％,P=0.034),the right coronary artery(14.3％vs.30.5％,P=0.005),and the percentage of target vessel stenosis[85％(80％,90％)vs.80％(80％,90％),P=0.014]between the IVL and RA groups.After PSM,these differences became insignificant(all P＞0.05).There is no statistically significant differences in stent implantation rate,drug-coated balloon usage rate,stent diameter,or total stent length between the IVL and RA groups(all P＞0.05).Compared to the RA group,although the IVL group had a higher utilization of tirofiban after the procedure,and a lower rate of intravenous nitrate during the procedure,these differences were not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).cTnT levels increased significantly after the procedure in both the IVL and RA groups(all P＜0.001).Before PSM,the preoperative cTnT levels were comparable between the IVL and RA groups(P=0.525),while a statistically significant difference emerged postoperatively(P=0.038).The incidence of in-hospital myocardial infarction showed no significant intergroup difference(8.6％vs.16.2％,P=0.094),and no events of death or target vessel revascularization occurred in either group.After PSM,despite no significant difference in preoperative cTnT levels between the IVL and RA groups(P=0.235),a significant difference was observed postoperatively(P=0.014).Furthermore,while no deaths or target vessel revascularization occurred in either group,the IVL group demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of in-hospital myocardial infarction compared to the RA group(9.9％vs.23.9％,P=0.025).Conclusions The use of intravascular lithotripsy for the pretreatment in patients with severe CAC is safe and promising.

Objective To develop a nomogram diagnostic model to differentiate peripheral small cell lung cancer(PSCLC)from peripheral lung adenocarcinoma(PADC)using clinical and multi spiral computed tomography features.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the CT characteristics and clinical presentations of 50 PSCLC and 100 PADC.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify significant features.A nomogram was constructed to quantify the influencing factors.The efficacy and clinical applicability of the model were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Smoking,neuron-specific enolase(NSE),smooth margin,spindle/branching shape,and lymphadenopathy were independent risk factors for PSCLC(P＜0.05),whereas rough margin and lobulation sign were independent risk factors for PADC(P＜0.05).The nomogram model demonstrated high diagnostic efficacy,and the calibration curve exhibited a good degree of calibration(Brier=0.079).The DCA indicated that the nomogram model possesses substantial clinical utility.Conclusion The nomogram model developed based on six indicators,including smoking,NSE≥17 ng/mL,margin characteristics,spindle/branching shape,lobulation sign,and lymphadenopathy can well distinguish PSCLC from PADC.

Objective:To investigate the factors influencing sound localization in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss, so as to provide the reference for hearing rehabilitation of patients with unilateral sudden hearing loss.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study that retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and audiological examination results of 228 patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss(103 males and 125 females; aged from 18 to 80 years, with an average age of 46.2 years; 107 cases in the left ear and 121 cases in the right ear; 8 cases of low-frequency decline type, 42 cases of high-frequency decline type, 92 cases of flat decline type, and 86 cases of total deafness type)at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University from June 2023 to April 2024. The minimum audible angle (MAA) was calculated by the angle discrimination test of 1000 Hz and 4000 Hz warble tones, which were recorded as MAA 1 000 and MAA 4 000 according to the frequency of the given sound stimulus. The root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated by the angle recognition test with daily natural sounds as the stimulus sound. Using SPSS 27.0 statistical software, correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to research the clinical factors affecting the ability of sound localization in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Results:The mean MAA 1 000, MAA 4 000, RMSE of patients with unilateral sudden deafness were (53.97±29.14)°, (46.34±28.87)° and (30.06±13.64)°, respectively. Univariate analysis of variance revealed that there were significant differences between different classifications of sudden sensorineural hearing loss for sound localization tests (MAA 1 000: F=6.338, P<0.001,MAA 4 000: F=14.334, P<0.001,RMSE: F=49.918, P<0.001), post-hoc analysis observed that all significant contrasts were included the type of total deafness and low-frequency deafness. Correlation analysis showed the age of subjects in this study was weak positively correlated to the MAA 1 000 ( r=0.165, P=0.013), the duration of sudden sensorineural hearing loss was weak negatively related to RMSE ( r=-0.144, P=0.030), there were significant positive relationships between the threshold of PTA, PTA 1kHz, PTA 4kHz for the affected side, as well as the binaural PTA difference and sound localization test (MAA 1 000,MAA 4 000,RMSE) (all P<0.001). The multiple regression analysis showed the age and the binaural PTA difference for the affected side were the significant factors for the MAA 1 000 and MAA 4 000, the binaural PTA difference was the significant factors for the RMSE. The R 2 of multivariable linear regression model for MAA 1 000, MAA 4 000 and RMSE results in unilateral sudden deafness patients were 0.149, 0.207 and 0.553, respectively. Conclusion:Age, the hearing of the affected side, and binaural PTA difference are the significant factors for sound localization ability in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss, hearing compensation of the affected ear for these patients is hopeful to enhance the sound localization ability.

Cervical cancer (CC) is a significant cause of cancer-related deaths in women and ranks as the fourth most common malignant tumor worldwide. Cervical histopathology is currently the primary diagnostic method for confirming the presence of CC. Tumor markers and imaging techniques play crucial roles in monitoring treatment effectiveness and prognostic follow-up. Unfortunately, these traditional examination methods are invasive and often lack sensitivity and accuracy. Therefore, there is a need for a less invasive and more sensitive test to facilitate early diagnosis, efficacy evaluation, and prognostic monitoring of CC. In recent years, liquid biopsy has been developed as a new detection method. It involves analyzing tumor components released into the peripheral circulation, such as cell-free RNA, circulating tumor DNA, circulating tumor cells, tumor-educated platelets, and exosomes. Liquid biopsy offers advantages such as being less invasive, highly reproducible, and capable of real-time monitoring. Moreover, liquid biopsy can play a crucial role in the early diagnosis of CC, guiding targeted therapy, assessing prognosis, and evaluating treatment effectiveness.This review focuses on the value of liquid biopsy application in CC, detection markers, and detection methods. It also explores how liquid biopsy can be used in the detection, prognosis, and monitoring the progression of CC. The advantages and limitations of liquid biopsy in CC are analyzed to promote its application and improve the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Objective:To investigate the effects of acute sleep deprivation (ASD) on hippocampal glucose metabolism and neuroinflammation in rat models.Methods:Twenty SD rats (10 males and 10 females) were divided into four groups (five in each group) by random sampling method: female ASD group, male ASD group, female control group, and male control group. Among them, the ASD group constructed the ASD model. After 72h sleep deprivation, all rats underwent 18F-FDG and N, N-diethyl-2-(2-(4-(2- 18F-fluoroethoxy)phenyl)-5, 7-dimethylpyrazolo[1, 5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)acetamide ( 18F-DPA-714) microPET/CT brain imaging in 2d to compare the changes of 18F-FDG and 18F-DPA-714 SUV mean in the hippocampus of rats. Brain histopathology, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining were detected in rats. Independent-sample t test was used to analyze the data. Results:18F-FDG imaging showed the hippocampal SUV mean between ASD group and control group (female: 4.11±0.35 vs 1.89±0.28; male: 3.43±0.47 vs 2.02±0.54) were statistically significant ( t values: 9.65, 3.92, P values: <0.001, 0.002). 18F-DPA-714 imaging showed the hippocampal SUV mean between ASD group and control group (females: 0.28±0.01 vs 0.28±0.02; male: 0.26±0.02 vs 0.31±0.04) were not statistically significant ( t values: -0.18, -2.24, P values: 0.859, 0.056). The 18×10 3 translocator protein (TSPO) immunohistochemistry showed the expression in the hippocampal region of the brain between ASD group and control group (female: 0.19±0.02 vs 0.19±0.01; male: 0.21±0.01 vs 0.20±0.01) were not statistically different ( t values: -0.48, -1.67, P values: 0.651, 0.139). Immunofluorescence staining showed that microglial cytosol in the hippocampal region of the brain decreased after 72h of ASD, and the protrusion points and surrounding branches were significantly reduced. Conclusion:Increased hippocampal glucose metabolism in rats is observed after 72 h of ASD without significant neuroinflammation.

A 64-year-old male patient with hemophilia A was scheduled for the surgical removal of a pulmonary mass. Preoperative evaluation revealed that the coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) activity was 0.5%, with an F Ⅷ inhibitor level of 32 BU/ml; the R value could not be detected on the thromboelastogram. Thoracoscopic lobectomy was successfully completed. On the day of the operation and the first day after the operation, 6 mg of recombinant activated coagulation factor Ⅶ (rFⅦa) was intravenously administered every 6 h. On postoperative day 1, the patient’s blood pressure dropped and the HGB gradually declined from 102 g/L to 65 g/L. Chest X-ray revealed a large amount of pleural effusion on the left side, and urgent thoracoscopic thoracic exploration was performed. A total of 3200 mL fresh blood was cleared, and a thoracic drainage tube was placed. On postoperative day 2, the rFⅦa dose was increased to 6 mg, which was intravenously administered every 4 h, and concentrated red cells were intermittently infused to correct anemia. Four days later, due to the inability to obtain rFⅦa, PCC (50 IU/kg every 8 hours) was administered. Additionally, treatment with methylprednisolone (40 mg/d) and cyclophosphamide (200 mg, every 2 weeks) was initiated to remove FⅧ inhibitors. The thoracic drainage tube was removed on postoperative day 9, and the patient was successfully discharged 3 weeks later.
