The 26th World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) was held in Barcelona during September 6-9, 2025. As the world's largest and most influential academic meeting in the field of lung cancer, this year's congress unveiled long-term follow-up data from several pivotal studies and significant advances in novel therapeutic strategies. In the realm of targeted therapy, a next-generation combination strategy has been established as the new standard of care for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), demonstrating a significant improvement in overall survival. In immunotherapy, novel combination regimens have not only addressed the therapeutic challenge of acquired resistance to EGFR targeted therapies, but also shown clear long-term survival benefits in both the perioperative and locally advanced settings. These findings pave the way for shifting the treatment paradigm to earlier stages for patients with NSCLC. Antibody-drug conjugates have made remarkable strides in this field. They have shown outstanding efficacy in patients with specific resistance mutations and those with brain metastases, and have also demonstrated immense potential in treating patients with HER2-aberrant lung cancer and broader NSCLC populations. This offers new therapeutic options for patients with refractory lung cancer.However, significant challenges remain, including the heterogeneity of resistance mechanisms, the selection of optimal treatment regimens, and management strategies for special populations. Future research should focus on identifying novel precision biomarkers and optimizing therapeutic strategies to ultimately improve clinical outcomes for all patients with lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the association between uric acid level and elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents in Guangzhou, so as to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of hypertension in the pediatric population. Methods: From March to December 2019, using stratified cluster random sampling, 3 626 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years without elevated blood pressure at baseline were recruited from 6 primary and secondary schools in Guangzhou. Serum uric acid levels were measured at baseline, and divided into four groups ( Q1-Q 4) based on age and sex specific quartiles for analyses. Two waves of follow up were carried out from October 2020 to May 2021 and from October 2021 to May 2022, respectively. Multilevel robust Poisson regression was used to evaluate the association between uric acid level and elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents. The additive interaction between high uric acid level and sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) intake on elevated blood pressure was assessed by stratification analysis and calculation of the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). Results: A total of 1 131 new cases of elevated blood pressure were identified during the two follow ups, with an incidence density of 130.5 cases 1 000 person years. Multilevel robust Poisson regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounders such as gender, age and annual family income, compared with those in the uric acid Q 1 level, the risk of elevated blood pressure in individuals in the Q 4 level increased by 25% ( RR=1.25, 95%CI =1.08-1.44), and the risk of elevated systolic blood pressure increased by 20% ( RR=1.20, 95%CI =1.05-1.36) (both P <0.05); no statistical association was observed between uric acid and elevated diastolic blood pressure (all P >0.05). In the stratified analysis, the statistical associations of uric acid Q 4 level with elevated blood pressure ( RR=1.34, 95%CI =1.13-1.58) and elevated systolic blood pressure ( RR=1.33, 95%CI =1.14-1.55) were only observed in the group with SSB intake ≥ 250 mL/week (both P <0.05). The RERI values for the effect of uric acid Q 4 and Q 3 levels with SSB intake ≥ 250 mL/week on elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 0.29 and 0.44 (both P <0.05). Conclusions High uric acid level is a risk factor for elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents, with a predominant effect on systolic blood pressure. High uric acid level and SSB intake synergistically promote the increase of blood pressure of children and adolescents.

BACKGROUND:With the development of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technology,zirconia abutments with a titanium base are widely used in clinic due to its good application advantages,but there are still some problems and a lack of consensus design standards. OBJECTIVE:To review the fabrication methods of Ti-base zirconia abutment,and the effect of abutment connection,emergence design,abutment angle,and bonding on mechanical properties of Ti-base zirconia abutment. METHODS:Relevant literature published from 2010 to 2023 was searched in CNKI and PubMed databases with the search terms"zirconia abutment,titanium base"in Chinese and English,respectively.The search time limit was extended for some classical literature.The relevant literature was obtained through inclusion and exclusion criteria,and 57 eligible documents were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:It is recommended that clinicians try to select antirotational titanium bases or rotational titanium bases with a Morse taper connection.Implants should be placed in the correct axial angulation of not more than 15° or with an inclination to the palatal side when using angled zirconia abutments.When a≥30° labial inclination is followed for implant placement,the bite force must be decreased effectively to reduce the risk of mechanical and biological complications of implants,abutments,and prostheses.Ti-base zirconia abutments with a higher gingival height should be selected,and its restorative angle should not exceed 40°.Multilink Hybrid Abutment could be the first choice for extraoral bonding of zirconia abutment to titanium bases.

Objective To explore the diagnostic efficacy of machine learning in predicting perineural invasion(PNI)of invasive breast cancer based on MRI imaging features of breast cancer.Methods The data of 294 patients with invasive breast cancer confirmed by surgical pathology were retrospectively analyzed,and the patients were randomly divided into training set(205 cases,PNI 77 cases)and validation set(89 cases,PNI 33 cases)at a ratio of 7∶3.10 machine learning models were constructed by selecting training set clinical and radiographic features using single factor logistic regression.The area under the curve(AUC),accuracy(ACC),sensitivity(SE),specificity(SP),positive predictive value(PPV),and negative predictive value(NPV)were used to evaluate the predictive effi-cacy of different models for PNI,and the best model was determined.SHapley Additive exPlanation(SHAP)was used to visuaize the diagnosis process of the model.Results In the validation set,the multi-layer perceptron(MLP)model performed best,with AUC,ACC,SE,SP,PPV,and NPV of 0.91,0.89,0.79,0.95,0.90,and 0.88,respectively.Conclusion The model of MRI imaging fea-tures of breast cancer constructed by MLP machine learning model can effectively predict the preoperative PNI of invasive breast cancer.

Objective·To evaluate the applicability of dual-unit cantilever restorations supported by a single narrow-diameter implant for consecutive missing teeth in the anterior mandibular region.Methods·A simplified mandibular anterior jaw model and a dual-unit cantilever model supported by a single narrow-diameter implant were constructed.The dimensions of the mandibular anterior bone block were set to 20 mm(length),5 mm(width),and 15 mm(height).The narrow-diameter implant used was the Axiom 2.8 two-stage implant,2.8 mm× 10 mm,paired with a 2.5 mm straight abutment.Based on calculations,the edentulous gap ranged from 5.8 mm to 11.6 mm,leading to the creation of seven crown models with mesiodistal widths of 5.8,6.8,7.8,8.8,9.8,10.8,and 11.8 mm.The implant,crowns,and jaw model were assembled using Siemens Nx 12.0 software,and the data were imported into Ansys Workbench 18.0 for finite element analysis.A vertical load of 100 N and a 30° oblique load were applied to simulate occlusal forces.The Von-Mises stress on the implants,as well as the maximum compressive and tensile stresses in the cortical bone and the maximum tensile stress in the cancellous bone,was analyzed to investigate stress distribution under varying cantilever lengths.Results·The implant neck region exhibited the highest stress concentration.As the cantilever length increased,the peak Von-Mises stress on the implants,the maximum tensile stress in the cortical and cancellous bones,and the maximum compressive stress in the cortical bones all increased progressively.However,all stress values remained within physiological limits.The peak Von-Mises stress ranged from 141.52 MPa to 707.17 MPa,below the implant's ultimate tensile strength of 930 MPa.The maximum tensile stress in the cortical bones(with a peak of 60.82 MPa in the 11.8 mm group)was below the cortical bone's tensile strength limit of 100-130 MPa.The maximum compressive stress in the cortical bone(with an absolute maximum value of 129.39 MPa in the 11.8 mm group)was below the cortical bone's compressive strength limit of 170 to 190 MPa(absolute values).The maximum tensile stress in the cancellous bone ranged from 0.84 MPa to 4.70 MPa,which was below or close to its ultimate tensile strength of 2-5 MPa.Conclusion·Dual-unit cantilever restorations supported by a single narrow-diameter implant may represent a viable treatment option for consecutive missing teeth in the anterior mandibular region.

Objective:To explore the differences in the whole-brain functional connectivity characteristics of magnetoencephalography gamma sub-band in resting state between patients with depression with high and low suicidal ideation.Methods:Clinical data of 60 patients with depression (depression group) who visited the Department of Psychiatry, Nanjing Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from October 2021 to June 2024 were prospectively collected, including 20 males and 40 females aged 16-41 years. During the same period, 75 healthy controls (healthy control group) were recruited, matched for gender and age, comprising 33 males and 42 females, aged 18-43 years. The Hamilton Depression Scale-17 items (HAMD-17) was used to assess the degree of depression in patients, and the score of the third item was used to divide the patients into a high suicidal ideation group of 37 cases (2-3 points) and a low suicidal ideation group of 23 cases (0-1 points). The Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation-Chinese Version (BSI-CV) was used to assess the intensity of suicidal ideation in patients in the last week and at the most severe stage. Brain imaging data of the subjects were collected using a CTF-275 channel magnetoencephalography device and a 3 T magnetic resonance imaging device. The functional connectivity matrix of the gamma sub-band depression group, healthy control group, high suicidal ideation group, and low suicidal ideation group was calculated using the envelope correlation method. The network-based statistics (NBS) algorithm was used to correct for multiple comparisons and compare the differences in brain network functional connectivity between the depression group/healthy control group and between the high/low suicidal ideation groups.Results:Compared with the healthy control group, the functional connectivity between the bilateral middle frontal gyrus, right inferior frontal gyrus orbital part, right anterior cingulate gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus orbital part, and right superior parietal lobule in the depression group was significantly enhanced in the low gamma frequency band (30-60 Hz) ( θ=3, P=0.042). Compared with the low suicidal ideation group, the functional connectivity between the right amygdala as a central node and the right superior frontal gyrus, left hippocampus, right upper temporal pole, and left transverse temporal gyrus in the high suicidal ideation group was significantly enhanced in the high gamma frequency band (60-90 Hz) ( θ=3, P=0.049). Conclusion:In the low gamma frequency band, patients with depression have neural dysfunction mainly in the frontal lobe. In the high gamma frequency band, patients with high suicidal ideation have functional connectivity abnormalities centered on the amygdala.

Objective:To construct a humanistic care nursing program for adult ICU patients, providing guidance for the clinical practice of humanistic care in ICUs.Methods:Based on a literature review and clinical practice experience, a preliminary humanistic care nursing program for adult ICU patients was drafted. From August to September 2024, the Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultation with 16 experts to revise the content of each item and the overall program, resulting in the final version of the humanistic care nursing program for ICU adult patients. The experts' engagement was measured by the effective response rate of the questionnaires, their authority by the expert authority coefficient, and the coordination of expert opinions by the Kendall's coefficient of concordance.Results:The effective response rate for the Delphi expert consultation questionnaires was 100.00% (16/16) in both rounds. The expert authority coefficients were 0.872 and 0.875, respectively. After the second round of consultation, the Kendall's coefficients for the importance, applicability, and feasibility of each level of item ranged from 0.119 to 0.313 ( P<0.05). The final humanistic care nursing program for adult ICU patients included three first-level items, 12 second-level items, and 55 third-level items. Conclusions:The humanistic care nursing program for adult ICU patients constructed in this study is scientific, targeted, and feasible, providing guidance for the clinical practice of humanistic care in ICU settings.

In both conferences, lung cancer immunotherapy remained a hot topic of considerable interest. This article aims to summarize and discuss the important research progress on perioperative immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer reported at the two conferences.

BACKGROUND:As an essential trace element for body growth and development,copper participates in many processes such as redox process,energy generation,signal transduction and bone metabolism.The imbalance of copper homeostasis in diabetic patients will lead to the increase of oxidative stress and the impairment of antioxidant mechanism,which stimulate the production of inflammatory mediators and inflammatory factors,and thus lead to cytotoxicity and body damage.In recent years,the role of copper in diabetes has gradually attracted attention,and some studies have confirmed that copper plays a key regulatory role in the pathological process of diabetes.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the current progress in the role of copper in systemic complications of diabetes and provide some theoretical reference for its future research and treatment.METHODS:The first author searched PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI and WanFang databases for literature related to the role of copper in systemic complications of diabetes.The search terms were"copper,Cu,diabetes,diabetic complications,diabetic cardiomyopathy,diabetic nephropathy,diabetic retinopathy,diabetic osteoporosis,diabetic periodontitis"in English and Chinese,respectively.After screening,95 articles were included in the review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Copper is involved in the occurrence and development of diabetic complications and most of the damage caused by copper to the body is due to interference with the body's redox level.(2)In diabetic cardiomyopathy,increased Cu2+in the corpuscular circulation and impaired uptake of copper ions by cardiomyocytes,the accumulation of redox-active Cu2+and ceruloplasmin outside the cardiomyocyte induces copper oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes,leading to acute cardiac impairment.(3)In diabetic nephropathy,the toxic effect of excessive copper leads cause granular degeneration and vacuolar degeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells and proximal tubular necrosis,eventually leading to chronic or acute renal failure.(4)Excessive copper in diabetic patients can produce reactive oxygen species and directly or indirectly affect the function of copper protein with antioxidant function,thus damaging retinal cells.(5)In patients with diabetic osteoporosis,accumulated copper induces lipid peroxidation and interferes with bone metabolism.Copper acts on osteoblasts mainly through inhibition of superoxide dismutase,glutathione peroxidase,and alkaline phosphatase activities.(6)Excessive copper exacerbates inflammatory changes in periodontal tissue by promoting inflammatory responses.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of morin on the cell cycle progression and prolif-eration ability of lung adenocarcinoma cells by regulating the transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)/Smads signaling pathway.Methods Human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was used for in vitro experiments.Different concentrations of morin(0,30,90,150 μg/mL)were used to treat human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.Cell survival rate was detected by CCK-8 method,cell cycle distribution was detected by Hoechst 33342 staining method,cell proliferation ability was detected by clone formation assay,cell invasion ability was detected by Transwell invasion assay,cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining method,and the expres-sion levels of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway related proteins were analyzed by Western blot.Results CCK-8 experimental results showed that the survival rate of A549 cells in the morin-treated group significantly decreased with the increase in morin concentration(P＜0.05).The results of Hoechst 33342 staining showed that the proportion of G1 phase cells in the morin-treated group significantly increased,and the proportion of S phase and G2/M phase cells significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The results of the colony formation assay showed that the number of colonies formed in the morin-treated group was significantly less than that in the control group,and the colony formation rates in the 90 μg/mL and 150 μg/mL groups were reduced by approximately 50％and 70％respectively(P＜0.05).Transwell invasion assay results showed that the number of invasive cells in the morin-treated group was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).TUNEL staining results showed that the proportion of apoptotic cells in the morin-treated group significantly increased(P＜0.05).Western blot results showed that the expression levels of TGF-β1 and p-Smad2/3 in the morin-treated group were significantly reduced(P＜0.05),and the expression level of Smad7 was significantly in-creased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Morin blocks A549 cells in the G1 phase by regulating the TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway,thereby inhibiting cell proliferation,reducing cell invasion ability,and inducing cell apopto-sis.This indicates that morin has potential application value in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.
