By analyzing the current application of multi-modal data in the diagnosis of gastric "inflammation-cancer" transformation， this study explored the feasibility and strategies for constructing a disease-syndrome integrated diagnosis and treatment system. Based on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） phenomics， we proposed utilizing multi-modal data from literature research， cross-sectional studies， and cohort follow-ups， combined with artificial intelligence technology， to establish a multi-dimensional diagnostic and treatment index system. This approach aims to uncover the complex pathogenesis and transformation patterns of gastric "inflammation-cancer" progression. Additionally， by dynamically collecting TCM four-diagnostic information and modern medical diagnostic information through a long-term follow-up system， we developed three major modules including information extraction， multi-modal phenotypic modeling， and information output， to make it enable real-world clinical data-driven long-term follow-up and treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis. This system can provide technical support for clinical diagnosis， treatment evaluation， and research， while also offering insights and methods for intelligent TCM diagnosis.

Liver transplantation is the preferred treatment for cirrhosis, end-stage liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and is also the only effective curative method. Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the main adverse reactions of liver transplantation. During the operation, ischemia mediates the occurrence of liver IRI, promoting the cascade activation of reactive oxygen species and pro-inflammatory signals in Kupffer cells. With continued hepatocellular death during ischemia, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) accumulate and are released into systemic circulation, triggering a cytokine and chemokine storm, resulting in poor prognosis, postoperative liver failure, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). In liver transplantation-related IRI, PANoptosis—including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy—participates in the process, but a comprehensive review is lacking. This article systematically elaborates on the roles of different types of cell death in liver IRI and the crosstalk among these pathways. It also discusses the protective effects of inhibiting different forms of cell death, aiming to provide direction for future basic research and offer new ideas and strategies for the clinical treatment of liver IRI.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.

Objective:To analyze potential risk factors of early postoperative pulmonary infection (≤28 days) after abdominal incisional hernia repair, and to propose the corresponding prevention and treatment measures.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to collect the clinical data of 103 patients who underwent abdominal incisional hernia repair in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from May 2017 to April 2023. According to the occurrence of early postoperative pulmonary infection, the patients were divided into pulmonary infection group ( n=29) and non-pulmonary infection group ( n=74), univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the related factors that may affect the early postoperative pulmonary infection after abdominal incisional hernia repair. Measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s) and analyzed by independent sample t-test. Non-normal measurement data were expressed as median and interquartile range M( Q1, Q3), and Mann-Whitney U test was used. The count data were expressed as cases (%), and the chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test was used for comparison between groups. Results:Univariate analysis showed that smoking history, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, history of chronic lung disease, preoperative prognostic nutritional index, preoperative aerosol inhalation, preoperative indwelling gastric tube, size of abdominal wall defect, operation duration, and multimodal analgesia were associated with early pulmonary infection after abdominal wall incisional hernia surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that history of smoking ( OR=9.304, 95% CI: 1.959-46.560), history of chronic lung disease ( OR=10.507, 95% CI: 1.630-67.734), preoperative indwelling gastric tube ( OR=9.208, 95% CI: 1.745-48.579) was an independent risk factor for early postoperative pulmonary infection ( P< 0.05), while multimodal analgesia ( OR=0.057, 95% CI: 0.011-0.307) was a protective factor for early postoperative pulmonary infection ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Pulmonary infection is prone to occur early after abdominal incisional hernia repair, which is related to smoking history, chronic lung disease history and preoperative indwelling gastric tube. Multimodal analgesia can reduce the occurrence of early pulmonary infection after abdominal incisional hernia repair.

Carotid artery stenosis is an important cause of ischemic stroke, and its mechanism is mainly associated with the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Head and neck radiotherapy may accelerate plaque formation, leading to carotid artery stenosis. In addition, radiotherapy can also cause the damage to the intima and adventitia of blood vessels, exacerbating the degree of carotid artery stenosis. This carotid artery stenosis caused by radiotherapy is different from atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis in etiology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the pathogenic mechanism is crucial for selecting appropriate prevention and treatment methods.

Objective:To automatically synthesize Al 18F-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-74, and explore its value of clinical application. Methods:Al 18F-FAPI-74 was synthesized automatically by the commercial synthesis module CFN-MPS-100, and its yield, radiochemical purity and stability were determined. Sixteen normal Kunming (KM) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups and euthanized at 10, 30, 60 and 90 min after Al 18F-FAPI-74 injection, and the biodistribution was measured. MicroPET/CT dynamic scanning (60 min) was performed in 5 rat pancreatic tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice to observe the tumor uptake. Al 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT imaging was performed on 3 volunteers (1 male, 2 females; age: 37, 41, 43 years) to evaluate the clinical application value of Al 18F-FAPI-74. Results:The automated synthesis time of Al 18F-FAPI-74 was about 35 min, with the synthesis yield of (21.34±3.86)% (without attenuation correction, n=5) and the radiochemical purity more than 99%. The radiochemical purity was still more than 96% after placement at 37 ℃ for 6 h. Biodistribution in normal mice and microPET/CT dynamic scanning in tumor-bearing nude mice showed that consistently high uptake in the kidneys and bladder, and the tumor uptake was the highest at 20 min, and the maximum tumor-to-muscle ratio was 3.16±0.01 at 60 min. PET/CT imaging on volunteers showed that there was a small amount of uptake in myocardium, most organs such as the liver and lung had background uptake, and the maximum SUV max of persistent high uptake of tumor was 17.08. Conclusions:Al 18F-FAPI-74 has the advantages of simple synthesis, high yield, stable quality and good imaging performance in mice and volunteers. It is a kind of imaging agent that meets the requirements of clinical diagnosis.
