With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of Shaoyao Gancaotang （SYGCT） on high-fat diet （HFD）-aggravated colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium （DSS） in mice and decipher the potential mechanism. MethodsForty male C57BL/6J mice were fed an HFD for 14 days， followed by gavage of 2%DSS for 7 days for the modeling of HFD-aggravated colitis. The mice were randomly allocated into control， model （HFD-aggravated colitis）， low-dose （5.2 g·kg^-1） SYGCT， high-dose （10.4 g·kg^-1） SYGCT， and 5-aminosalicylic acid （5-ASA， positive control， 50 mg·kg^-1） groups. Body mass changes and disease activity index （DAI） scores were recorded. The colon length was measured. Pathological changes in the colon tissue were observed through hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Transcriptomic analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes. Western blot was employed to quantify the protein levels of Occludin， Claudin3， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， and ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group exhibited diarrhea， bloody stools， increased DAI scores （P<0.01）， colon shortening （P<0.01）， severe colonic pathological damage， and reduced expression of tight junction proteins Occludin and Claudin3 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes between the high-dose SYGCT group and the model group were significantly enriched in the ferroptosis signaling pathway. Compared with the model group， SYGCT treatment alleviated diarrhea and bloody stools， reduced DAI scores （P<0.01）， increased the colon length （P<0.01）， mitigated colonic pathological damage， and upregulated the expression of Occludin and Claudin3 （P<0.01）， as well as proteins （SLC7A11， GPX4， and FTH1） associated with the inhibition of ferroptosis （P<0.05）. ConclusionSYGCT significantly ameliorates HFD-aggravated DSS-induced colitis by suppressing ferroptosis via activation of the SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.

Objective: To analyze the distribution characteristics of unexpected antibodies among voluntary blood donors at a hospital in Beijing, with a focus on the seasonal distribution patterns of natural antibodies represented by the MNS and Lewis systems, as well as their correlation with concurrent local epidemic trends of the influenza virus, so as to provide a scientific basis for clinical transfusion safety early-warning and management strategies. Methods: A total of 82 780 voluntary blood donors from March 2023 to February 2026 at our hospital were enrolled. Positive screening for unexpected antibodies was identified through ABO blood group re-evaluations and minor crossmatch incompatibilities. Based on climatological seasonal definitions—spring (March to May), summer (June to August), autumn (September to November), and winter (December to February of the following year) —differences in the detection rates of various antibody classifications across different seasons were compared. Local influenza surveillance data from the same period were collected, and their correlation with the positive rate of influenza virus was analyzed. Results: A total of 98 cases (0.12%) positive for unexpected antibodies were identified among the 82 780 blood donors, including 87 cases with specific antibodies. The MNS system antibodies (anti-M) accounted for the highest proportion (54 cases, 55.10%). The detection rate of unexpected antibodies was significantly different in different seasons (P<0.05), and the detection rate in winter was significantly higher than that in spring, summer, and autumn (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the monthly detection rate of total unexpected antibodies was positively correlated with the positive rate of influenza virus (r=0.423, P=0.010); The correlation between the monthly detection rate of unexpected antibodies and the positive rate of influenza virus in Lewis system (r=0.398, P=0.016) and MNS system (r=0.389, P=0.019) was statistically significant; However, no correlation was found for other antibodies such as those of the Rh system (P>0.05). Conclusion: The detection of unexpected antibodies in voluntary blood donors showed significant aggregation in winter, and was ecologically correlated with the positive rate of influenza virus in the region at the population level, which was more obvious in MNS and Lewis blood group system antibodies. These results suggest that influenza virus infection may have a potential impact on the expression of natural antibodies. Enhancing unexpected antibody identification and early warning for clinical crossmatch risks during winter is of great significance for ensuring the safety of clinical blood transfusion.

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of ABO blood type gene c. 899G>A leading to the occurrence of subtype A. Methods: Serological methods were used to identify ABO blood types. Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction sequence specific (PCR-SSP) kits, and Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the ABO gene exons 1-7. PacBio third-generation sequencing was employed for ABO gene full-length haplotype analysis. AlphaFold3 was used to predict protein structure, and ChimeraX software was used to analyze the impact of amino acid changes caused by base mutations on protein structure. Results: The patient exhibited group O of forward typing and group A of reverse typing. Weak A. antigen was detected by absorption-elution test. Molecular biology detection revealed three mutation sites, c. 261delG, c. 297A>G, and c. 899G>A. Third-generation sequencing showed that one haplotype was recombinant ABO O.01.01 and the other haplotype was recombinant ABO B.01-O.01.01, with c. 297A>G and c. 899G>A located on this recombinant haplotype. Protein structure prediction indicated that c. 899G>A resulted in premature termination codons and translation interruption of ABO blood group genes, leading to a 55 amino acid deletion at the C-terminus. Conclusion: The c. 899G>A mutation in the ABO gene of the patient resulted in reduced A antigen expression and an A subtype phenotype.

OBJECTIVE To provide references for medical institutions’ outpatient pharmacies to increase the scanning rate， scanning efficiency and scanning accuracy of drug traceability codes.METHODS A total of 4 157 unscanned traceability code records from the first two‑week period of June 2025 were selected from the outpatient pharmacy of our hospital. Pareto chart was adopted to analyze the reasons for unscanned codes， and the Objective-Rules-Training-Check-Culture （ORTCC） model was utilized to carry out fine management. The traceability code scanning rate， pharmacists’ work efficiency （number of prescriptions dispensed per pharmacist per hour， number of drug boxes dispensed per pharmacist per hour）， patients’ medication-waiting time and dispensing errors were compared among four periods： before scanning implementation （June 2024）， before management intervention （June 2025）， the first phase after management （September 2025）， and the second phase after management （December 2025）， so as to evaluate the management effects.RESULTS The traceability code scanning rates in the first phase and second phase after management were remarkably higher than those before management （ P ＜0.05）， and the scanning rate in the second phase after management was obviously higher than that in the first phase after management （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the period before scanning implementation， the number of prescriptions dispensed per pharmacist per hour， the number of drug boxes dispensed per pharmacist per hour， decreased significantly and patients’ medication-waiting time prolonged markedly before management （ P ＜0.05）. In the second phase after management， both the number of prescriptions dispensed per pharmacist per hour and the number of drug boxes dispensed per pharmacist per hour increased significantly， and patients’ medication-waiting time shortened greatly in contrast with the status before management （ P ＜0.05）. Besides， no statistically significant differences were found in the number of drug boxes dispensed per pharmacist per hour and patients’ medication-waiting time between the second phase after management and the period before scanning implementation （ P ＞0.05）.After the implementation of traceability-code scanning management， dispensing errors presented a gradually declining trend in each stage.CONCLUSIONS The fine management system for outpatient drug traceability codes constructed based on Pareto chart and ORTCC model can improve the traceability code scanning rate and pharmacists’ work efficiency of outpatient pharmacies， and reduce drug dispensing errors.

Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

Intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP),as the most commonly used percutaneous mechanical circulatory assist device,is routinely implanted through the femoral artery pathway.However,when implantation through the femoral artery pathway is difficult or contraindicated,other pathways including the brachial artery pathway,axillary artery pathway,etc.can be considered.IABP assisted interventional treatment for complex high-risk and indicated patients(CHIP)can reduce the risk of intraoperative complications,stabilize hemodynamics,increase the complete revascularization rate of CHIP,and improve long-term prognosis.The reverse guidewire technique can improve the success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for chronic total occlusion(CTO)of coronary arteries.In clinical practice,the reverse pathway is often chosen in addition to the forward pathway,such as the contralateral radial and brachial artery pathway,femoral artery pathway,etc.This article reports a case of bilateral femoral artery occlusion,in which IABP was implanted through the left brachial artery pathway,and then with the assistance of IABP,the right coronary artery CTO lesion was successfully opened through the right radial artery in the forward direction and the right brachial artery in the reverse direction,with the aim of providing reference for clinical PCI treatment for such special cases.

Debates persist regarding the efficacy and safety of azvudine, particularly its real-world outcomes. This study involved patients aged ≥60 years who were admitted to 25 hospitals in mainland China with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality during hospitalization, the proportion of patients discharged with recovery, time to nucleic acid-negative conversion (T _NANC), time to symptom improvement (T _SI), and time of hospital stay (T _HS). Safety was also assessed. Among the 5884 participants identified, 1999 received azvudine, and 1999 matched controls were included after exclusion and propensity score matching. Azvudine recipients exhibited lower all-cause mortality compared with controls in the overall population (13.3% vs. 17.1%, RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90; P = 0.001) and in the severe subgroup (25.7% vs. 33.7%; RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.66-0.88; P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients discharged with recovery, and a shorter T _NANC were associated with azvudine recipients, especially in the severe subgroup. The incidence of adverse events in azvudine recipients was comparable to that in the control group (2.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.170). In conclusion, azvudine showed efficacy and safety in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in China.

Evading host immunity killing is a critical step for virus survival. Inhibiting viral immune escape is crucial for the treatment of viral diseases. Serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39) was reported to play an essential role in ion homeostasis. However, its potential role and mechanism in viral infection remain unknown. In this study, we found that viral infection promoted STK39 expression. Consequently, overexpressed STK39 inhibited the phosphorylation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and the production of type I interferon, which led to viral replication and immune escape. Genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of STK39 significantly protected mice from viral infection. Mechanistically, mass spectrometry and immunoprecipitation assays identified that STK39 interacted with PPP2R1A (a scaffold subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A)) in a kinase activity-dependent manner. This interaction inhibited DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 1 (DCAF1)-mediated PPP2R1A degradation, maintained the stabilization and phosphatase activity of PP2A, which, in turn, suppressed the phosphorylation of IRF3, decreased the production of type I interferon, and then strengthened viral replication. Thus, our study provides a novel theoretical basis for viral immune escape, and STK39 may be a potential therapeutic target for viral infectious diseases.

Depression is a highly heterogeneous psychiatric disorder with complex pathogenesis influenced by the interplay of biological,psychological,and social-environmental factors.Based on the 2021 edition of the Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Depressive Disorders,which explicitly identify gender as a significant risk factor for depression onset,this paper systematically reviews the gender-differentiated pathogenesis and therapeutic advances in depression from both traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and Western medical perspectives.In Western medicine,a large number of studies have demonstrated the sex-specific mechanism of estrogen/testosterone fluctuations and monoamine transmitter system regulation.While in TCM,although the constitution theory proposes that there are significant gender differences in congenital constitution and that qi depression and qi deficiency are associated with susceptibility to depression,current evidence primarily relies on cross-sectional surveys and lacks validation through high-quality RCTs.Compared with Western medicine,the direct research on gender-differentiated antidepressant effects in TCM remains relatively underdeveloped.In future study,it may be possible to deepen and improve the research on anti-depression in TCM from the biological markers of particular constitutions in the gender dimension.This paper advocates establishing a bio-psycho-social integrated intervention model,advancing mechanistic exploration through prospective cohort studies and multi-omics technologies,and promoting precision diagnosis and treatment systems based on gender differences,and to form a three-dimensional diagnosis and treatment and research system that covers biomarkers,social role assessment,and TCM constitution identification,in order to provide a new theoretical framework and a practical pathway for the precise medical treatment of depression.
