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.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different doses of ionizing radiation on the changes in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the intestines of mice.Methods:C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly assigned to four groups (0 Gy, 0.1 Gy, 0.2 Gy, and 0.5 Gy; n=10/group) and subjected to single whole-body irradiation using a 60Co γ-ray source at a dose rate of 13 mGy/min. At 20 weeks post-irradiation, jejunal, ileal, and colonic tissues were collected. Immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were employed to assess mRNA and protein expression of NADPH oxidase components. Hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) levels and the expression of Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-κB), a transcriptional regulator of Dual Oxidase 2 (DUOX2), were also measured. Results:Compared with the 0 Gy group, mice in the 0.5 Gy group exhibited shortened villus length in the jejunum, villus fusion in the ileum, and increased crypt spacing in the colon, with statistically significant differences ( t=2.48, P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in other dose groups compared to the 0 Gy group ( P > 0.05).The expression of H 2O 2 in the jejunum, ileum, and colon of the 0.1 Gy group was significantly elevated compared to the 0 Gy group ( t=4.12, 3.12, 3.12; P < 0.05). In the 0.5 Gy group, H 2O 2 expression in the jejunum and colon increased nearly twofold relative to the 0 Gy group ( t=8.67, 8.69; P < 0.05).At 20 weeks post-irradiation, DUOX2 protein expression levels in the jejunum, ileum, and colon were markedly higher in irradiated mice than in the 0 Gy group ( t=3.03, 10.29, 2.74; P < 0.05). DUOX2 mRNA levels in the jejunum, ileum, and colon of the 0.1 Gy group were significantly upregulated compared to the 0 Gy group ( t=12.75, 4.12, 11.14; P < 0.05). Additionally, NOX4 mRNA expression increased in the jejunum of the 0.2 Gy group ( t=4.54, P < 0.05) and in the ileum of the 0.1 Gy group ( t=4.13, P < 0.05).The nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), a transcriptional regulator of DUOX2, showed an upward trend in expression in the jejunum, ileum, and colon of the 0.1 Gy group compared to the 0 Gy group, with statistically significant differences ( t=8.73, 8.18, 7.02; P < 0.05). Conclusion:Low-dose radiation induces long-term effects on the intestinal tract. Specifically, 0.5 Gy irradiation causes mild morphological alterations in the jejunum, ileum, and colon, while 0.1 Gy irradiation promotes the upregulation of DUOX2, a NADPH oxidase, in intestinal tissues.

As an exclusive Miao medicine of Honwing Pharma (Guizhou) Co. Ltd., Yifei Zhike capsules are both a prescription drug and an over-the-counter (OTC) drug. Its main ingredients include Ranunculus ternatus and Panax notoginseng. With the effects of nourishing Yin and moistening the lungs, as well as relieving cough and reducing phlegm, Yifei Zhike capsules are often used in the treatment of acute and chronic bronchitis, pulmonary tuberculosis, and other diseases. However, there is insufficient understanding of their efficacy, suitable syndromes, and safety in clinical practice, with a lack of relevant expert consensus on clinical application. To standardize their clinical application, 30 experts from the fields of respiratory medicine, pharmacy, and evidence-based medicine were invited to develop an Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of Yifei Zhike Capsules (Consensus for short) through evidence-based medicine methods. The Consensus clarified the syndrome characteristics, disease stages, dosages, treatment courses, combined medication, and other norms in the treatment of acute/chronic bronchitis and pulmonary tuberculosis and could be applicable to clinical physicians and pharmacists in medical and health institutions at all levels. In disease diagnosis, it provided diagnostic criteria for traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine and clarified that the suitable traditional Chinese medicine syndrome was the syndrome of Qi-Yin deficiency with intermingled phlegm-blood stasis. Clinical studies have confirmed that Yifei Zhike capsules combined with standard anti-tuberculosis therapy can effectively improve the symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis patients, increase the sputum smear conversion rate, and promote the absorption of lesions. When treating acute cough caused by respiratory tract infections, Yifei Zhike capsules can increase the markedly effective rate and the seven-day disappearance rate of cough symptoms. Meanwhile, recommendations for specific usage, dosages, and treatment courses were given for different diseases, and it was pointed out that long-term medication required key monitoring of adverse reactions. In safety, the adverse reactions of Yifei Zhike capsules involved multiple aspects such as the digestive system and allergic reactions, and pregnant women and women during menstruation were prohibited from using it. In addition, modern research has shown that Yifei Zhike capsules have an adjuvant therapeutic effect on tuberculous pleurisy and may be effective for inflammatory and benign pulmonary nodules. However, further research should be conducted on the toxicological safety of long-term medication. The formulation of the Consensus provides a scientific basis for the rational clinical application of Yifei Zhike capsules, which helps to improve clinical efficacy and reduce medication risks.

The compilation instructions for the Expert Consensus on Clinical Application of Yifei Zhike Capsules systematically expound the development background, methodological framework, and core achievements of this consensus. In view of the problems existing in the clinical application of Yifei Zhike Capsules, such as insufficient efficacy evidence and lack of standardized syndrome differentiation, the Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences took the lead and collaborated with 21 tertiary grade-A hospitals and research institutions across China to form a multidisciplinary expert group (comprising 30 experts in clinical medicine, pharmacy, and methodology). The compilation work was carried out in strict accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, the GB/T 1.1-2020 standard, and the writing specifications for the explanatory notes of expert consensus on clinical application of Chinese patent medicines. Through systematic literature retrieval (including 32 studies, with 24 clinical studies), Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE)-based evidence grading, and multiple rounds of discussions using the nominal group method (25 experts voted to determine 17 clinical questions), 5 evidence-based recommendations and 11 expert consensus suggestions were formed. It is clarified that this medicine (Yifei Zhike Capsules) is applicable to the treatment of expectoration/hemoptysis in acute and chronic bronchitis and the adjuvant treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. It is recommended that it can be used alone or in combination with anti-tuberculosis drugs. The safety evaluation shows that this medicine mainly induces the following adverse reactions: mild gastrointestinal reactions (such as nausea and abdominal pain) and rashes. The contraindicated populations include pregnant women and women during menstruation. The compilation process of the consensus underwent three rounds of expert letter reviews, two rounds of peer reviews, and quality control assessments to ensure methodological rigor and clinical applicability. In addition, through policy alignment, academic promotion, and a dynamic revision mechanism, the standardization of clinical application was promoted, providing a demonstration for the evidence-based transformation of characteristic therapies of Miao medicine.

Objective:To investigate the effect of radiofrequency radiation (RF) from 5G mobile phone communication frequency bands (3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz) on the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice.Methods:A total of 24 healthy adult male C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks old) were randomly divided into Sham, 3.5 GHz RF and 4.9 GHz RF groups, and 8 mice in each group. Mice in the RF groups were systemically exposed to 5G cell phone radiation for consecutive 35 d(1 h/d) with 50 W/m 2 power density. The BBB permeability of mice was detected by Evans Blue (EB) fluorescence experiment. The expression levels of the BBB tight junction-related proteins (ZO-1, occludin and claudin-11) and the gap junction-related protein Connexin 43 were determined by Western blot. Results:The number of spots, fluorescence intensity and comprehensive score of EB were significantly increased in 3.5 GHz RF group and 4.9 GHz RF group compared with the Sham group ( t=12.98, 17.82, P<0.001). Compared with the Sham group, the content of S100B in mouse serum was significantly increased in 3.5 GHz RF group and 4.9 GHz RF group ( t=19.34, 14.68, P<0.001). The BBB permeability was increased in the RF group. The expression level of occludin protein was significantly reduced in the 3.5 GHz RF group ( t=-3.13, P<0.05), and this decrease was much profound in the 4.9 GHz RF group ( t=-6.55, P<0.01). But the protein levels of ZO-1, Claudin-11 and Connexin 43 in the cerebral cortex of the RF groups had no significantly difference in comparison with the Sham group( P>0.05). Conclusions:The continuous exposure of mobile phone RF at 3.5 GHz or 4.9 GHz for 35 d (1 h/d) induces an increase of BBB permeability in the mouse cerebral cortex, perhaps by reducing the expression of occludin protein.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula (益气凉血生肌方, YLSF) on recurrence of angina pectoris and quality of life at eight weeks after perecutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MethodsEighty-two coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with qi deficiency and blood stasis and binding of stasis and heat syndrome who had underwent PCI were randomly divided into two groups with 41 patients each in the treatment group and the control group. Based on conventional western medicine after PCI, patients in the treatment group orally took YLSF granules while those in the control group were administered with placebo, one dose daily for 8 weeks. The recurrence rate of angina pectoris and readmission rate within eight weeks after PCI were recorded. Before and after treatment, total traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores (physical limitation, angina stability, angina frequency, treatment satisfaction and disease perception), and the SF-36 scores for quality of life (physical and mental health) were evaluated. The adverse reactions during medication in both groups were recorded. ResultsWithin eight weeks after PCI, the recurrence rate of angina pectoris in the treatment group (4/41, 9.76%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (11/41, 26.83%, P<0.05). The readmission rate in the treatment group was 2.44% (1/41), while that in the control group was 12.20% (5/41), with no significantly statistical difference (P>0.05). After treatment, total TCM syndrome score significantly decreased in both groups, while in terms of quality of life, the SAQ scores on domains of angina stability, angina frequency and disease perception as well as SF-36 total scores, physical health and mental health scores significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared between the two groups, total TCM syndrome score was significantly lower in the treatment group than the control group (P<0.01), while no significant differences were found in SAQ scores and SF-36 total, physical and mental health scores (P>0.05). No adverse reactions occurred in both groups during the treatment period. ConclusionYLSF can reduce the recurrence rate of angina pectoris within eight weeks after PCI for coronary artery disease, and can improve the TCM syndrome score, and have sound safety, with comparable effect to that of placebo in improving postoperative short-term quality of life.
