Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide， and tumor metastasis is a key factor contributing to the mortality of most lung cancer patients. Aberrant activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） is a major driver of lung cancer progression and metastasis. EMT is characterized by the loss of apical-basal polarity and intercellular adhesion in highly differentiated， polarized， and organized epithelial cells， which acquire motility， migratory potential， and invasive properties. During this process， cells undergo cytoskeletal remodeling and transform into a mesenchymal phenotype， accompanied by associated changes in cellular markers. The EMT process is highly complex and is tightly regulated by intricate networks involving multiple transcription factors， post-translational controls， epigenetic modifications， and non-coding RNAs. Therefore， therapies targeting the mechanisms of malignant transformation and their associated pathways in lung cancer are of significant clinical importance. In recent years， EMT has attracted increasing attention as a potential target for cancer therapy. Chinese medicine， with its characteristics of multi-target action， low side effects， and good therapeutic efficacy， has demonstrated an important role in anticancer treatment. A series of studies have investigated the role of Chinese medicine in inhibiting EMT in lung cancer. Active ingredients of Chinese medicine， including flavonoids， glycosides， phenols， terpenoids， saccharides， and alkaloids， as well as Chinese medicine compound formulas， have shown significant regulatory effects on EMT. Their mechanisms mainly involve multiple pathways， targets， and links， including signaling pathways， exosomes， microRNAs （miRNAs）， and the tumor-associated immune microenvironment. This article summarizes the mechanisms by which EMT promotes malignant tumor progression and reviews the current research on how Chinese medicine active ingredients， monomers， and compound formulas inhibit EMT and suppress lung cancer cell migration and invasion. This study is expected to provide comprehensive theoretical information for basic and translational research on lung cancer.

Objective To compare the cost and efficacy of ambulatory versus hospitalized surgery for lung tumor patients. Methods Two researchers independently conducted a computer search on February 14, 2025, in databases including CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid Medline, Cochrane Library, and Wanfang Database, with the search period covering from the inception of these databases to February 2025. The outcome indicators were postoperative complication rate, length of hospital stay, hospitalization costs, et al. For the included randomized controlled trials and non-randomized controlled trials, we used the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool and the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) respectively to evaluate the quality of the literature, and extracted data from the included studies for meta-analysis using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 18.0. Results A total of 12 researches were ultimately included, consisting of 2 randomized controlled trials, 2 prospective cohort studies, and 8 retrospective cohort studies, involving a total of 76 403 patients. All researches were evaluated as high-quality. Meta-analysis showed that the ambulatory surgery group had advantages over the hospitalized surgery group in terms of operation time [MD=−21.07, 95%CI (−30.55, −11.58), P<0.001], length of hospital stay [MD=−2.17, 95%CI (−3.25, −1.09), P<0.001], hospitalization costs [SMD=−1.22, 95%CI (−2.18, −0.26), P=0.01], and overall postoperative complications [OR=0.48, 95%CI (0.32, 0.74), P<0.001]. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative hoarseness [OR=0.62, 95%CI (0.24, 1.61), P=0.33] and postoperative chylothorax [OR=0.27, 95%CI (0.07, 1.07), P=0.06]. Conclusion Compared to conventional hospitalized lung tumor resection, ambulatory lung tumor resection can significantly reduce the patient’s surgery and hospital stay time, decrease hospitalization costs, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. Ambulatory surgery can improve hospital efficiency while reducing the economic burden on patients. It is worthy of further promotion and application.

Breast cancer is a common clinical gy-necological tumor.According to the 2022 global cancer data statistics,breast cancer ranks second in terms of incidence among newly diagnosed cancer cases worldwide.Modern medicine often adopts surgical operation,chemotherapy,and other meth-ods,which have certain efficacy but also many problems such as high drug resistance rates and sig-nificant adverse reactions.Chinese patent medi-cines exhibit extensive anticancer effects.The study found that Shenyi Capsule,Pingxiao Capsule,and Zhenqi Fuzheng Granules were widely used in the treatment of breast cancer,exerting therapeu-tic effects on breast cancer by inhibiting cell prolif-eration,invasion,and metastasis,suppressing an-giogenesis,reversing cellular drug resistance,and inhibiting precancerous lesions.Meanwhile,the oral administration of Chinese patent medicines in combination with other traditional Chinese medi-cine(TCM)compounds,TCM decoctions,or mod-ern medical treatments can improve patients' quali-ty of life and reduce adverse reactions.Currently,there are numerous studies on the treatment of breast cancer with Chinese patent medicines,but a systematic summary is lacking.Therefore,this study conducted a systematic review of the mecha-nisms of action and clinical applications of Chinese patent medicines as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer,aiming to provide guidance for clinical medi-cation.

The management effect scores,performance evaluation results,management efficiency,and incidence of adverse situations of low-value medical consumables were compared between the two management modes. Results:The average scores of occurring problems and operation cost of low-value medical consumables in the SPD model group were respectively (15.14±2.06) and (20.44±3.16),which were lower than those in the conventional management model group,with statistically significant differences (t=84.009,92.863,P<0.05). The average scores of delivery timeliness,work efficiency,standardization,traceability of consumables,waste recycling of consumables,delivery satisfaction,and demand forecasting were respectively (97.14±10.11),(95.25±10.85),(89.65±12.54),(88.25±9.14),(94.14±10.22),(88.14±9.22),and (95.84±10.33) in the SPD model group,which were higher than those in the conventional management model group,with statistically significant differences (t=78.169,77.874,75.326,68.557,35.288,25.422,102.959,P<0.05). The average issuance time and replenishment time of low-value medical consumables in the SPD model group were respectively (6.11±0.72) min and (12.58±2.35) h,which were shorter than those in the conventional management model group,with statistically significant differences (t=54.129,122.343,P<0.05). The issuance accuracy rate and proportion of saved amount of low-value medical consumables in the SPD model group were respectively 98.76％ and 3.16％,which were higher than those in the conventional management model group,with statistically significant differences (x2=159.178,5.618,P<0.05). The number of issuance error and the proportion of expired consumables,invalid consumables or damaged consumables in the SPD model group were respectively 1.24％ and 0.90％,which were lower than those in the conventional management model group,with statistically significant differences (x2=159.178,23.792,P<0.05). The average time consuming of daily and monthly of low-value medical consumables in the SPD model group were respectively (0.29±0.02) h and (1.14±0.25) h,which were shorter than those in the conventional management model group,and the average number of monthly inventory backlog and average circulation time in the SPD model group were respectively (33.19±4.25) and (26.14±3.18) d,which were lower than those in the conventional management model group,with statistically significant differences (t=412.428,122.343,114.555,39.848,P<0.05). The incidence rates of unregistered use,unskilled operation,failure to enter data into the computer,carelessness during shift handovers,and loss of consumables of low-value medical consumables in the SPD model group were respectively 6.21％,7.12％,2.03％,2.26％ and 1.92％,which were lower than those in the conventional management model group,with statistically significant differences (x2=28.882,15.225,22.824,12.683,16.893,P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of the SPD model based on a risk perspective in the management of low-value medical consumables in clinical departments of hospital can reduce operating costs of hospital,and increase procurement efficiency for them,and enhance the level of refined management for low-value medical consumables.

Bispecific antibodies(BsAbs),as an important recent innovation in the field of tumor immunotherapy in recent years,can simultaneously or sequentially target different antigens or two different epitopes of the same antigen.Compared with traditional monoclonal antibodies,they can produce superior therapeutic effects.This article reviews the progress in clinical applications and safety research of BsAbs in cancer therapy,revealing that they(such as blinatumomab,glofitamab,teclistamab,amivantamab,etc.)exhibit significant therapeutic efficacy against hematological malignancies,lung cancer,cervical cancer,melanoma,and other cancers.For cytokine release syndrome(CRS)induced by BsAbs,prophylactic or pre-emptive medication is commonly administered in clinical practice;for neurotoxicity and infections triggered by BsAbs,clinical practice necessitates rigorous monitoring of patients'vital signs and the provision of essential treatments.In addition,different BsAbs exhibit variations in escalation dose,infusion rate,storage duration,and equipment requirements.Therefore,strict adherence to the instructions in the drug package inserts is essential during clinical operations to ensure safety and therapeutic efficacy.In the future,more multicenter trials need to be conducted to validate the efficacy and safety of BsAbs across different tumor types and patient populations,and long-term follow-up data should be accumulated to optimize treatment cycles and dosage regimens.
