The 2025 European Lung Cancer Congress (ELCC) convened in Paris, France, centering on the optimization and innovation of immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Key topics at the congress included the application strategies for perioperative immunotherapy, breakthroughs in combination therapy models for advanced NSCLC, and the emerging roles of biomarkers in predicting diverse treatment outcomes. This paper integrates data from several key pivotal studies to systematically analyze the clinical value of neoadjuvant therapy within the perioperative setting, the potential of targeted combination regimens, and the challenges of managing drug resistance, thus offering new directions for clinical practice.

Based on the high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia rat model, this study aimed to evaluate the lipid-lowering effect of Arisaema Cum Bile and explore its mechanisms, providing experimental evidence for its clinical application. Biochemical analysis was used to detect serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), triglycerides(TG), and total cholesterol(TC) to assess the lipid-lowering activity of Arisaema Cum Bile. Additionally, 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolomics techniques were employed to jointly elucidate the lipid-lowering mechanisms of Arisaema Cum Bile. The experimental results showed that high-dose Arisaema Cum Bile(PBA-H) significantly reduced serum ALT, AST, LDL-C, TG, and TC levels(P<0.01), and significantly increased HDL-C levels(P<0.01). The effect was similar to that of fenofibrate, with no significant difference. Furthermore, Arisaema Cum Bile significantly alleviated hepatocyte ballooning and mitigated fatty degeneration in liver tissues. As indicated by 16S rDNA sequencing results, PBA-H significantly enhanced both alpha and beta diversity of the gut microbiota in the model rats, notably increasing the relative abundance of Akkermansia and Subdoligranulum species(P<0.01). Liver metabolomics analysis revealed that PBA-H primarily regulated pathways involved in arachidonic acid metabolism, vitamin B_6 metabolism, and steroid biosynthesis. In summary, Arisaema Cum Bile significantly improved abnormal blood lipid levels and liver pathology induced by a high-fat diet, regulated hepatic metabolic disorders, and improved the abundance and structural composition of gut microbiota, thereby exerting its lipid-lowering effect. The findings of this study provide experimental evidence for the clinical application of Arisaema Cum Bile and the treatment of hyperlipidemia.

Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of improved 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET-CT score (referred to as PSMA score) and multi parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) score (referred to as PI-RADS score) for primary prostate cancer (PCa). Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The imaging and clinical data of 134 suspected PCa patients underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET-CT and mpMRI examinations at Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from July 2018 to May 2023 were collected. Pathological diagnosis showed 92 cases of PCa and 42 cases of benign prostatic lesions. The clinical and imaging parameters, as well as the distribution of patients with two scores, were compared between the two groups. The blind diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions was made based on the improved PSMA score (dividing 1 point into 1a and 1b points, 1b, 2 and 3 points were diagnosed as PCa), PI-RADS score (3, 4 and 5 points were diagnosed as PCa) and the combination of the two (diagnosed as PCa when either PSMA score ≥ 1b point or PI-RADS score ≥ 4 points was met). The indicators of the diagnostic efficiency of PSMA score, PI-RADS score and the combination of the two for PCa were calculated. Using pathological results as the gold standard, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of PSMA score, PI-RADS score and the combination of the two for diagnosing PCa was drawn, and the diagnostic efficiency of the 3 methods was analyzed. Results:The age, serum prostate-specific antigen, and maximum standard uptake value of PET-CT in the PCa group were higher than those in the benign prostatic lesion group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, false negative rate, false positive rate, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of PSMA score for diagnosing PCa were 91.30% (84/92), 80.95% (34/42), 88.06% (118/134), 8.70% (8/92), 19.05% (8/42), 91.30% (84/92), and 80.95% (34/42), respectively; those of PI-RADS score were 93.48% (86/92), 61.90% (26/42), 83.58% (112/134), 61.90% (26/42), 38.10% (16/42), 84.31% (86/102), and 81.25% (26/32), respectively; those of the combination of the two were 97.83% (90/92), 88.10% (37/42), 94.78% (127/134), 2.17% (2/92), 11.90% (5/42), 94.74% (90/95), and 94.87% (37/39), respectively. The differences in specificity, accuracy, false negative rate, and false positive rate among the 3 methods were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of PSMA score, PI-RADS score and the combination of the two for diagnosing PCa were 0.930 (95% CI: 0.872-0.967), 0.935 (95% CI: 0.826-0.939) and 0.959 (95% CI: 0.910-0.986), respectively, and the differences between each two methods were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); the sensitivity of PSMA score, PI-RADS score and the combination of the two was 90.11%, 89.13% and 98.09%, and the specificity was 90.48%, 90.48% and 92.09%. Conclusions:Compared with the PI-RADS score, the improved PSMA score can improve the specificity and accuracy of PCa diagnosis, and decrease the false negative and false positive rates; the diagnostic efficiency of the combination of the two is superior.

Objective: This cross-sectional investigation aimed to determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, prognosis, and related risk factors of olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain in mainland China. Methods: Data of patients with SARS-CoV-2 from December 28, 2022, to February 21, 2023, were collected through online and offline questionnaires from 45 tertiary hospitals and one center for disease control and prevention in mainland China. The questionnaire included demographic information, previous health history, smoking and alcohol drinking, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, olfactory and gustatory function before and after infection, other symptoms after infection, as well as the duration and improvement of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction. The self-reported olfactory and gustatory functions of patients were evaluated using the Olfactory VAS scale and Gustatory VAS scale. Results: A total of 35 566 valid questionnaires were obtained, revealing a high incidence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain (67.75%). Females(χ2=367.013, P<0.001) and young people(χ2=120.210, P<0.001) were more likely to develop these dysfunctions. Gender(OR=1.564, 95%CI: 1.487-1.645), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status (OR=1.334, 95%CI: 1.164-1.530), oral health status (OR=0.881, 95%CI: 0.839-0.926), smoking history (OR=1.152, 95%CI=1.080-1.229), and drinking history (OR=0.854, 95%CI: 0.785-0.928) were correlated with the occurrence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to SARS-CoV-2(above P<0.001). 44.62% (4 391/9 840) of the patients who had not recovered their sense of smell and taste also suffered from nasal congestion, runny nose, and 32.62% (3 210/9 840) suffered from dry mouth and sore throat. The improvement of olfactory and taste functions was correlated with the persistence of accompanying symptoms(χ2=10.873, P=0.001). The average score of olfactory and taste VAS scale was 8.41 and 8.51 respectively before SARS-CoV-2 infection, but decreased to3.69 and 4.29 respectively after SARS-CoV-2 infection, and recovered to 5.83and 6.55 respectively at the time of the survey. The median duration of olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions was 15 days and 12 days, respectively, with 0.5% (121/24 096) of patients experiencing these dysfunctions for more than 28 days. The overall self-reported improvement rate of smell and taste dysfunctions was 59.16% (14 256/24 096). Gender(OR=0.893, 95%CI: 0.839-0.951), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status (OR=1.334, 95%CI: 1.164-1.530), history of head and facial trauma(OR=1.180, 95%CI: 1.036-1.344, P=0.013), nose (OR=1.104, 95%CI: 1.042-1.171, P=0.001) and oral (OR=1.162, 95%CI: 1.096-1.233) health status, smoking history(OR=0.765, 95%CI: 0.709-0.825), and the persistence of accompanying symptoms (OR=0.359, 95%CI: 0.332-0.388) were correlated with the recovery of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to SARS-CoV-2 (above P<0.001 except for the indicated values). Conclusion: The incidence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain is high in mainland China, with females and young people more likely to develop these dysfunctions. Active and effective intervention measures may be required for cases that persist for a long time. The recovery of olfactory and taste functions is influenced by several factors, including gender, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status, history of head and facial trauma, nasal and oral health status, smoking history, and persistence of accompanying symptoms.

As a diagnostic method to guide the treatment of sinew/fascia diseases, jingjin (muscle regions of meridians) differentiation is an important component of syndrome differentiation system of acupuncture and moxibustion. In clinical practice, because of the limitations of the ideological guidance of the holistic view, the systemic and dialectical thinking and the syndrome element collection, the system of diagnosis and treatment of sinew/fascia diseases is not comprehensive. Through combing the origin of the holistic view of jingjin, the paper expounds the differentiation framework of sinew/fascia diseases from 4 aspects of differentiation, i.e. the location of disease, etiology, nature of disease and condition of disease. It suggests to construct jingjin differentiation system by taking the holistic ideas as the core, the syndrome element research as the common method and the evidence-based medicine as the theoretical basis so that the thinking of syndrome differentiation and the diagnostic approaches based on jingjin theory can be enriched.

Female patients with schizophrenia exhibit a slower rate of absorption and excretion,leading to higher blood levels of antipsychotic drugs in their bodies and consequently causing more drug side effects.Women also have different levels of estrogen at different stages of life,and estrogen improves the efficacy of antipsychotic drugs by increasing dopamine D2receptor sensitivity.It is necessary to adjust the dosage of antipsychotic medication based on the level of estrogen,while also monitoring indicators such as blood glucose,triglycerides,cholesterol,and prolactin to minimize medication side effects.Nevertheless,the current literatures do not provide specific treatment plans for schizophrenia tailored to different genders,which is not the optimal treatment strategy for female patients.This review aims to summarize and categorize the differences in prescription,pharmacokinetics,pharmacodynamics,efficacy,and side effects in female patients with schizophrenia,and to provide scientific recommendations for drug treatment strategies in different stages of a woman's life(premenopausal,pregnancy,lactation,postmenopausal).

Recent advancement in natural language processing (NLP) and medical imaging empowers the wide applicability of deep learning models. These developments have increased not only data understanding, but also knowledge of state-of-the-art architectures and their real-world potentials. Medical imaging researchers have recognized the limitations of only targeting images, as well as the importance of integrating multimodal inputs into medical image analysis. The lack of comprehensive surveys of the current literature, however, impedes the progress of this domain. Existing research perspectives, as well as the architectures, tasks, datasets, and performance measures examined in the present literature, are reviewed in this work, and we also provide a brief description of possible future directions in the field, aiming to provide researchers and healthcare professionals with a detailed summary of existing academic research and to provide rational insights to facilitate future research.
