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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of gingerol， an active component of ginger， on Staphylococcus aureus （S. aureus） infection， and to preliminarily explore its mechanism related to extracellular vesicles （EVs）. MethodsS.aureus infection models were established in human umbilical vein endothelial cell （HUVECs）， Vero E6 cells， and C57BL/6 mice. Experimental groups included control， infection， and gingerol-treated groups. Bacterial load and VE-cadherin protein expression were detected using immunofluorescence and Western blot. EVs were isolated by size exclusion chromatography and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. miRNA sequencing was performed on EVs. ResultsGingerol treatment significantly reduced the bacterial load in both in vitro and in vivo infection models and upregulated VE-cadherin expression. miRNA sequencing of EVs revealed that S. aureus infection upregulated the expression of hsa-miR-320c， while gingerol treatment reversed this abnormal expression. Bioinformatic analysis further predicted that the target genes of hsa-miR-320c were significantly enriched in cell junction-related pathways. ConclusionGingerol exhibits clear antibacterial and host-protective effects， by regulating hsa-miR-320c in EVs to maintain endothelial barrier integrity.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease is a common chronic liver disease worldwide， and its incidence rate continues to rise. The traditional “two-hit” theory has gradually been replaced by the “multiple-hit” hypothesis， which emphasizes the synergistic effect of multiple pathogenic factors. Necroptosis is an inflammatory form of death with both the morphological characteristics of necrosis and the signaling mechanism of apoptosis， and the core of necroptosis lies in the receptor-interacting protein kinase 1-receptor-interacting protein kinase 3-mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase signaling axis. This pathway directly leads to the death of hepatocytes， and it triggers an inflammatory response and promotes the fibrosis process by releasing damage-associated molecular patterns； the pathway is also closely associated with the metabolic reprogramming of the liver. This review summarizes the activation mechanism of necroptosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease， analyzes its effect on liver inflammation， fibrosis， and metabolism， and explores its therapeutic strategies and application prospects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of coronary microvascular dysfunction （CMD） during the perioperative period of elective percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） and the incidence of deterioration in coronary microvascular function using angiography-derived microcirculatory resistance （AMR）， and to explore the influencing factors associated with PCI-related coronary microvascular injury. MethodsPatients who underwent elective PCI on the left anterior descending coronary artery at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine， Capital Medical University， from January 1， 2021 to December 31， 2024 were retrospectively enrolled. AMR values of the target vessel before and after PCI were calculated to evaluate the prevalence of postoperative CMD and the incidence of microvascular functional deterioration. Multivariate analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors associated with coronary microvascular injury during the periprocedural period of PCI. ResultsA total of 204 patients were finally included. Postoperative AMR of the target vessel were significantly higher than preoperative values （P＜0.001）. The prevalence of CMD was 31.86% （65/204）， and the incidence of microvascular functional deterioration was 69.61% （142/204）. In-stent restenosis （P = 0.004） and post-balloon dilation （P = 0.002） were risk factors for CMD. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome elements phlegm-turbidity （P = 0.004） and blood stasis （P = 0.013）， a higher diameter stenosis rate of the target lesion （P = 0.006）， larger stent/balloon diameter （P = 0.009）， and a greater number of balloon inflations （P = 0.029） were risk factors for microvascular functional deterioration. Preoperative use of Chinese herbal decoctions with actions of resolving phlegm and activating blood （P = 0.014） was a protective factor against microvascular functional deterioration， while intraoperative use of Kuanxiong Aerosol （宽胸气雾剂） was a protective factor against both CMD （P = 0.007） and microvascular functional deterioration （P = 0.030）. ConclusionCMD and microvascular functional deterioration are relatively common during the perio-perative period of elective PCI. Target lesion characteristics， PCI procedural features， and the TCM syndrome elements of phlegm-turbidity and blood stasis are associated with an increased risk of coronary microvascular injury during the perioperative period， whereas TCM treatment may reduce this risk.

Objective To compare the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of mucous and non-mucous Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP).Methods SP isolated from clinical specimens of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College from January 2023 to June 2024 were collected.They were isolated,cultured and identified,and their susceptibility to antibacterial drugs was determined.Results A total of 291 SP strains were isolated,of which 20 strains were mucous SP and 271 strains were non-mucous SP.Children played a dominant role of non-mucous SP infection,but mucous SP mainly infected adults and the children above 5 years old.Both phenotypes of SP were mainly characterized by pulmonary infection.Non-mucous SP had a relatively high sensitivity rate to vancomycin,linezolid,penicillin,ertapenem,chloramphenicol,levofloxacin,moxifloxacin and ofloxacin.It had a high resistance rate to compound sulfamethoxazole,clindamycin,erythromycin and tetracycline.Mucous SP was completely sensitive to penicillin,amoxicillin,cefotaxime,ceftriaxone,ertapenem,vancomycin,linezolid,levofloxacin and moxifloxacin,and had a relatively high resistance rate to clindamycin,erythromycin and tetracycline.Conclusion The laboratory should enhance the detection capacity of mucous SP.Mucous SP is highly sensitive to common antibiotics.Clinicians should select antibiotics based on drug sensitivity results to delay the occurrence of drug resistance.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the radial-ulnar ratio,lateral lunate angle of radius and height loss of radius after palmar locking plate internal fixation for distal radius fractures.Methods A total of 158 patients with distal radius fractures treated with palmar locking plate internal fixation in our hospital from March 2020 to September 2023 were selected.According to the height of radius loss after operation,the patients were divided into non-radius loss group(41 cases,<2 mm),mild to moderate radius loss group(32 cases,2 to 5 mm)and severe radius loss group(85 cases,>5 mm),and the clinical data of patients in the three groups were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting height loss of radius.Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing(LOWESS)method was used to analyze the two-dimensional curve relationship of continuous variables.Restricted cubic spline(RCS)and threshold effect were used to analyze the relationship between the radial-ulnar ratio,lateral lunate angle of radius and height loss of radius after operation.Results The age of patients in the severe radius loss group was significantly higher than those in the non-radius loss group and the mild to moderate radius loss group(P<0.05),and the age of patients in the mild to moderate radius loss group was significantly higher than that in the non-radius loss group(P<0.05).Female patients and patients with osteoporosis and fracture type C were more likely to have height loss of radius(P<0.05).There were significant differences in patient-rated wrist evaluation(PRWE)score,disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand(DASH)score,dorsal extension,palmar curvature,ulnar deviation,radial deviation,radial-ulnar ratio,and lateral lunate angle of radius of patients at 3 and 6 months after operation among three groups(P<0.001).The first prediction model based on age,gender,osteoporosis,fracture type,PRWE score,DASH score,dorsal extension,palmar curvature,ulnar deviation,and radial deviation and the second prediction model based on age,gender,osteoporosis,fracture type,PRWE score,DASH score,dorsal extension,palmar curvature,ulnar deviation,radial deviation,radial-ulnar ratio,and lateral lunate angle of radius were subjected to Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good goodness of fit.LOWESS analysis showed that age,PRWE score,DASH score,dorsal extension,palmar curvature,ulnar deviation,radial deviation,radial-ulnar ratio,and lateral lunate angle of radius had a certain nonlinear relationship with the height loss of radius.RCS and threshold effect analysis showed that the probability of postoperative radius loss increased with the increase of radial-ulnar ratio in patients with distal radius fractures and radial-ulnar ratio≥13.254(P<0.001).The probability of postoperative radius loss decreased with the increase of the lateral lunate angle of radius in patients with distal radius fractures and lateral lunate angle of radius≤11.068°(P<0.001).Conclusion There was a positive correlation between the radial-ulnar ratio and the height loss of radius,and a negative correlation between the lateral lunate angle of radius and the height loss of radius after palmar locking plate internal fixation for distal radius fractures.

Objective:To evaluate immunotherapy combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical total gastrectomy in microsatellite stable locally advanced gastric cancer in two cases.Methods:Two male patients with clinical stage cT3N 1M0 and microsatellite-stable locally advanced gastric cancer were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with PD-1 inhibitor (Nivolumab) combined with SOX (Oxaliplatin+S-1) for 4 cycles before surgery. Standard laparoscopic assisted total gastrectomy with D 2 lymphadenectomy was performed on Feb 2023 and Oct 2023 respectively after the neoadjuvant treatment. Pathological tumor regression grade(TRG) was observed to assess the degree of tumor regression, and follow-up was conducted to monitor tumor markers and abdominal enhanced CT to detect recurrence. Results:Two patients achieved pathological complete response(TRG0). They were followed up until May 2024 and no recurrence was observed.Conclusion:Preoperative combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy may provide survival benefit for microsatellite stable locally advanced gastric cancer patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the treatment of malignant tongue base tumors.Methods:A multicenter study was conducted to collect and analyze the clinical data of patients with malignant tongue base tumors who underwent TORS at five otolaryngology-head and neck surgery centers in China, including Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, and the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University between January 2017 and January 2023. Among the patients, 38 were males and 11 were females, with a mean age of 59.0±8.8 years. Baseline characteristics, complications, and follow-up data were compared between groups. Independent sample t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests was used for comparisons of continuous variables; chi-square tests or Fisher′s exact tests was applied for categorical variables. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method to calculate overall survival and disease-free survival, and differences between groups were compared using the log-rank test. Results:Among the 49 patients, 41 (83.7%) were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with a p16 positive rate of 51.2% (21/41). There were no statistically significant differences between the p16-positive group ( n=21) and the p16-negative group ( n=20) in age, sex, or postoperative bleeding (all P>0.05). However, there was a significant difference in TNM stage between the two groups ( χ2=14.556, P=0.020), with the p16-positive group predominantly in stage I (66.7%) and the p16-negative group primarily in stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ (40.0% and 30.0%, respectively). The postoperative tracheotomy rate was 30.6% (15/49), and the incidence of postoperative bleeding was 6.1% (3/49). The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 98.0% and 92.5%, respectively, while, the 1-year and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 89.2% and 84.9%, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the p16-positive and p16-negative groups in 3-year overall survival (100% vs. 83.8%, χ2=1.093, P=0.518) or 3-year disease-free survival (68.2% vs. 88.9%, χ2=2.161, P=0.382). Conclusion:TORS for malignant tongue base tumors demonstrates high clinical safety and favorable oncological outcomes.
