Surgical treatment is one of the key approaches for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Regular postoperative follow-up is crucial for early detection and timely management of tumor recurrence, metastasis, or second primary tumors. A scientifically sound and reasonable follow-up strategy not only extends patient survival but also significantly improves quality of life, thereby enhancing overall prognosis. This consensus aims to build upon the previous version by incorporating the latest clinical research advancements and refining postoperative follow-up protocols for early-stage NSCLC patients based on different treatment modalities. It provides a scientific and practical reference for clinicians involved in the postoperative follow-up management of NSCLC. By optimizing follow-up strategies, this consensus seeks to promote the standardization and normalization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment in China, helping more patients receive high-quality care and long-term management. Additionally, the release of this consensus is expected to provide insights for related research and clinical practice both domestically and internationally, driving continuous development and innovation in the field of postoperative management for NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the persistence of residual low back pain following percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures(OVF),in order to provide a scientific basis for clinical intervention strategies.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 1 120 patients diagnosed with OVF who received PVP treatment between July 2020 and June 2025.Among them,61 patients who experienced residual low back pain in the early postoperative period(defined as 2 days to 1 month after surgery)with a postoperative visual analog scale(VAS)score greater than 3 points were selected as the observation group.An additional 61 control subjects were matched to the observation group at a 1∶1 ratio based on age(±5 years),gender,and preoperative bone mineral density(±0.5 standard deviation).Univariate and logistic regression analyses were subsequently performed to evaluate potential influencing factors.Results Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences between the two groups with respect to preoperative thoracolumbar fascia injury(TFI),MRI-detected liquefaction signals in the affected vertebrae,the number of involved vertebrae(≥2),and suboptimal bone cement distribution(P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis confirmed that these factors were independent risk factors,with corresponding odds ratios(ORs)of 5.378,6.111,3.245,and 2.890(all P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the predictive model was 0.929,indicating a high level of predictive accuracy.Conclusion Preoperative TFI,MRI-demonstrated liquefaction signals in the affected vertebrae,the presence of multiple responsible vertebrae,and suboptimal bone cement distribution may contribute to an increased risk of early residual low back pain following PVP.

Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)continues to exhibit a high incidence and mortality worldwide,posing a serious threat to human health.In recent years,the rapid advancement of immunotherapy has profoundly reshaped the therapeutic paradigm for NSCLC,particularly by improving long-term outcomes in the perioperative period.However,with its increasingly widespread clinical use during this period,several critical issues have emerged,including the precise identification of patients most likely to benefit,optimization of therapeutic strategies,evaluation of pathological value,formulation of adjuvant therapy strategies for patients with complete pathological response after surgery,and the management of immune-related adverse events.This review will systematically discuss these key challenges and aims to provide insights that may facilitate the standardized application of perioperative immunotherapy in NSCLC.

The main treatment methods of liver cancer include surgical resection,TACE,ablation,immunotherapy and liver transplantation,etc.Ablation promotes the death of liver cancer cells to achieve the purpose of anti-tumor.Immunotherapy can reactivate immune cells and generate new immune responses through corresponding pathways,so as to recognize and eliminate liver cancer cells.Combining ablation can synergistically enhance anti-tumor immune effect of immunotherapy for liver cancer.The research progresses of ablation combined with immunotherapy for liver cancer were reviewed in this article.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between lumbar disc herniation and vertebral bone mineral density(BMD)of quantitative analysis of computed tomography(CT).Methods:Eighty patients with lumbar disc herniation who admitted to Beijing Tongzhou District Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from May 2022 to June 2024 were included in the case group,and 30 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination in hospital were included in the healthy control group during the same period.The vertebral BMD of all subjects was quantitatively analyzed by CT.The data,lumbar BMD value,lumbar bone mass loss and osteoporosis distribution of the two groups were compared at baseline.Results:There were no significant differences in gender,age,body mass index(BMI)and abdominal circumference of baseline data between the case group and the healthy control group(P>0.05).The BMD value of the fourth lumbar vertebra(L4)in the case group was lower than that in the healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=1.991,P<0.05).There were no significant differences in BMD value and mean BMD(Lmean BMD)of the fifth lumbar vertebra(L5)between the case group and the healthy control group(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the lumbar BMD value of healthy control group between different genders(P>0.05),and there was significant difference in Lmean BMD between different genders in the case group(t=2.063,P<0.05),while there were no statistically significant difference in the L4 BMD and L5 BMD of the case group between different genders(P>0.05).The difference of Lmean BMD values of the persons with same gender(male,female)between the case group and the healthy control group were statistically significant(t=2.570,3.300,P<0.05).The ratio of normal lumbar bone mass in the case group was 48.75%,which was lower than that in the healthy control group(70.00%),and the difference was statistically significant(x2=3.974,P<0.05).The ratio of osteoporosis in the case group was 18.75%,which was higher than that in the healthy control group(3.33%),and the difference of that between two groups was significant(x2=4.172,P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the ratio of bone mass loss between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:CT quantitative analysis shows that the vertebral BMD value of the patients with lumbar disc herniation is significantly lower than that of persons of the healthy control group,which indicates that the decrease of BMD value might be related to the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the diagnostic value of thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT),thrombomodulin(TM),and tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex(t-PAIC)in severe cases of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods A cohort of 79 patients clinically diagnosed with COVID-19 was retrospectively assembled and categorized into two groups based on disease severity:non-severe(n=51)and severe(n=28).In this study the differences of coagulation function and inflamma-tory marker levels between the two groups were compared.The correlations of TAT,TM and t-PAIC with other biomarkers were investi-gated.The diagnostic values of all the markers for severe COVID-19 were assessed.Results The patients of severe COVID-19 exhibi-ted significantly higher levels of TAT,TM,and t-PAIC compared to those of non-severe group(P＜0.001).The levels of TAT,TM and t-PAIC showed notable positive correlation with other biomarkers.TAT demonstrated the strongest positive correlation with the level of D-dimer(r=0.786,P＜0.001).Binary logistic regression analysis identified TAT(OR=1.346,P＜0.05)and t-PAIC(OR=1.128,P＜0.05)were independent risk factors in term of severe COVID-19.The combined ROC curve for TAT,TM and t-PAIC revealed high diagnostic efficacy in severe cases with the area under the curve(AUCROC)were 0.918,and the sensitivity and specificity were of 75％and 94.1％,respectively.Conclusion The results of combined measurement of TAT,TM and t-PAIC effectively demonstrates its diagnostic value in identifying severity and stratification of COVID-19 cases and may have important clinical significance for assessment of the severity and prediction of the prognosis.
