Objective To investigate the prevalence of cognitive frailty and its associated factors among middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Gusu District, Suzhou City, to provide a basis for intervention measures. Methods COPD patients managed at Pingjiang New Town Community Health Service Center in Gusu District from January to December 2024 were selected. Data were collected using the Fried Frailty Phenotype, Mini-Mental State Examination, and a general information questionnaire. Chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance, and multivariate Logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results A total of 1 388 patients were included, with 916 males (65.99%) and 472 females (34.01%). Cognitive frailty was observed in 554 cases (prevalence: 39.91%). Univariate analysis showed significant differences in gender, education, visual impairment, hearing impairment, sleep disorders, and disease duration between the cognitive frailty and non-cognitive frailty groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that education was negatively associated with cognitive frailty (illiteracy OR=6.969, P<0.001; primary school OR=1.499, P=0.005), while visual impairment (OR=2.347, P<0.001), hearing impairment (OR=1.705, P<0.001), sleep disorders (OR=2.488, P<0.001), and disease duration (≤5 years OR=0.329, P<0.001; 6-10 years OR=0.487, P<0.001) were positively associated with cognitive frailty. Conclusion The prevalence of cognitive frailty among middle-aged and elderly COPD patients in Gusu District, Suzhou City, is high (39.91%). Epositively associated with cognitive frailtyducation, sensory impairments, sleep disorders, and disease duration are associated factors. Clinical attention to high-risk groups and implementation of early screening and targeted interventions are recommended.

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 clinical value of continuous Bougie tube use in symmetrical three-port laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 105 patients who underwent symmetrical three-port LSG at The First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from October 2021 to October 2024 were collected. There were 57 males and 48 females, aged 27(range, 19-59)years. Of the 105 patients, 52 cases with continuous Bougie tube use during the surgery were divided into continuous group, while 53 cases with intermittent Bougie tube use were divided into intermittent group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) complications. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1) Surgical situations. All 105 patients underwent symmetrical three-port LSG. The operation time was (57±4)minutes versus (76±4)minutes for the continuous group and the intermittent group, volume of intraoperative blood loss was (26±6)mL versus (59±9)mL, time to first out-of-bed activities was (218±8)minutes versus (299±9)minutes, time to first anal exhaust was (19.6±2.9)hours versus (25.8±2.8)hours, visual analogue scale score for pain at 6 hours postoperatively was 2.3±1.0 versus 4.7±1.0, and duration of postoperative hospital stay was (1.5±0.6)days versus (3.1±0.9)days for the two groups, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups( t=26.92, 22.31, 48.91, 11.15, 13.25, 10.21, P<0.05). (2) Complications. No severe postopera-tive complication occurred in any of the 105 patients. There were 26 cases and 38 cases with nausea and vomiting at 2 hours postoperatively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=5.19, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared to intermittent Bougie tube use, continuous Bougie tube use during symmetrical three-port LSG can significantly shorten operation time and duration of postoperative hospital stay, reduce intraoperative bleeding and postoperative pain, accelerate recovery of patients, and lower the incidence of complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P＜0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P＞0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.

BACKGROUND:Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are widely used for bone repair and reconstruction,significantly enhancing osteogenesis and promoting angiogenesis.OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanisms of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures.METHODS:H uman umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were extracted using tissue block culture method.Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were extracted using ultracentrifugation method for identification.Thirty 12-week-old female SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group(n=6)and ovariectomized group(n=24).Osteoporosis model was established by castration in the ovariectomized group.12 weeks after modeling,6 rats in the ovariectomized group and 6 rats in the sham-operated group were randomly selected for Micro-CT and hematoxylin-eosin staining to verify the models.After verification,the remaining 18 rats in the ovariectomized group were randomly assigned to three groups to establish osteoporotic fracture models.The fracture end was separately injected with PBS(PBS group),exosomes at 1.5×1011 particles/mL(low-concentration exosome group),and 3×1011 particles/mL(high-concentration exosome group).Four weeks after operation,fracture healing and bone angiogenesis were evaluated by imaging and histological observations.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In the gross specimens,compared with the PBS group,the exosome group had faster fracture healing and more callus formation.(2)The X-ray score of fracture healing in the exosome group was significantly higher than that in the PBS group,and the difference was significant(P＜0.05).(3)Micro-CT three-dimensional imaging:Compared with the PBS group,the fracture healing in the exosome group was accelerated and the callus formation was significantly increased;the bone volume fraction in the exosome group was significantly higher than that in the PBS group,and the difference was significant(P＜0.01).(4)Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson's trichrome staining showed that bone trabeculae and the new bone tissue in the exosome group were more than those in the PBS group.(5)Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of CD31 and osteocalcin in the exosome group was significantly higher than that in the PBS group.The high-concentration exosome group had a higher density of new blood vessels,more callus formation,and faster fracture healing than the low-concentration exosome group,showing a concentration-dependent manner.The results show that exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can promote the repair of osteoporotic fracture by enhancing the angiogenesis and osteogenesis.The mechanism may be related to the increased expression of CD31 and osteocalcin.
