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 serological identification and blood group gene sequencing analysis of two rare cases of K
phenotype producing high-frequency antigen antibodies (anti-Ku), and to study the serological interrelationship between K
cells and the high-frequency antigen antibody anti-KL. Methods: Serological methods were used to identify the antigen phenotypes of the ABO, Rh, and Kell blood group systems and to screen for and identify unexpected antibodies in the two patients. The characteristics of the unexpected antibodies were verified by the indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) using papain or dithiothreitol (DTT) -treated screening cells. The titer of anti-Ku was determined via the tube method using DTT-treated plasma. The Kell blood group genotype was determined by gene sequencing. The distinctive antigenicity of K
cells was validated through their reactivity with anti-KL in IAT, and absorption-elution techniques were employed to corroborate the type of anti-KL. Results: Serological findings: Case 1 was blood group O, CCDee; Case 2 was blood group A, CCDee. Both cases exhibited the Kell phenotype: K-k-, Kp (a-b-). High-frequency antigen antibodies were detected in the plasma of both patients. The reactivity of these antibodies was slightly enhanced with papain-treated screening cells but became negative with DTT-treated cells. The anti-Ku (IgG) titer for Case 1 was 64. For Case 2, the anti-Ku (IgM) titer was<1, and the anti-Ku (IgG) titer was 32. Gene sequencing revealed that both cases harbored a homozygous c.715G>T mutation in the KEL gene, corresponding to the genotype KEL02N.24, consistent with the rare K
phenotype. The unique high expression of the Kx antigen on K
cells was confirmed through the antibody characteristics of anti-KL. Absorption-elution techniques demonstrated that K
cells could separate anti-Km and anti-Kx, thereby supporting the classification of anti-KL. Conclusion: Serological and molecular biological assays identified both patients as having the rare Kell-null (K
) phenotype. If such rare blood types go undetected in transfusion medicine, the administration of standard blood products can readily induce the production of high-frequency antigen antibodies such as anti-Ku, potentially leading to a transfusion crisis due to the subsequent difficulty in finding compatible blood. The serological relationship between K
cells and anti-KL clarified the characteristic high expression of the Kx antigen on K
phenotype erythrocytes and concurrently supported the typological features of the rare high-frequency antibody anti-KL. This represents the first such verified report in China.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the efficacy of intravesical Bacille Calmette-Guérin(BCG)instillation after transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT)in patients with intermediate-and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC),and to construct a prediction model for recurrence after BCG treatment.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on the subjected patients diagnosed with intermediate-and high-risk NMIBC undergoing TURBT followed by standard BCG instillation.The 110 patients treated in Department of Urology of Army Medical Center of PLA from January 2018 to December 2023 were assigned into a training set,while the 52 patients treated at Department of Urology of General Hospital of Central Theater Command from January 2015 to December 2020 were into an external validation set.A total of 17 variables were included and analyzed.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with recurrence after BCG instillation,and nomograms were plotted to predict 1-year,3-year,and 5-year recurrence-free survival(RFS).Calibration curve,decision curve analysis(DCA),and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis were conducted for internal and external validation to evaluate the predictive performance and clinical utility of the model.Results In the training set,26 patients(23.64%)experienced recurrence during the follow-up period,with a median RFS of 32.00(18.00~50.50)months.Univariate Cox regression analysis suggested that platelet count,eosinophil to lymphocyte ratio(ELR),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR),systemic immune inflammation(SII)index,and neutrophil-monocyte to lymphocyte ratio(NMLR),pathological T1 stage(pT1)tumor and hemoglobin,albumin,lymphocyte,and platelet(HALP)score were potential factors influencing recurrence after BCG instillation.Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified high HALP score(HR=0.185,95%CI:0.046~0.736,P=0.017)as an independent protective factor,while high ELR(HR=3.599,95%CI:1.505~8.608,P=0.004)and pT1 stage(HR=3.240,95%CI:1.191~8.818,P=0.021)were independent risk factors for recurrence.Based on this,a nomogram prediction model was constructed.The calibration curves demonstrated good agreement between predicted and actual 1-,3-,and 5-year recurrence risks.Decision curve analysis indicated clinical utility across a wide threshold probability range.In the training set,the model showed strong predictive performance for 1-(AUC=0.842),3-(AUC=0.847),and 5-year(AUC=0.887)recurrence risks,which was further validated in the external cohort.Conclusion Higher HALP score prior to BCG instillation therapy is a protective factor against tumor recurrence,while higher ELR and pT1 stage are risk factors.Our nomogram prediction model based on HALP score,ELR and pathological T stage,can identify individuals at high risk of recurrence after BCG instillation therapy.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),which is essentially primary liver cancer,is closely related to CD8+T cell immune infiltration and immune suppression.We constructed a CD8+T cells related risk score model to pre-dict the prognosis of HCC patients and provided therapeutic guidance based on the risk score.Using integrated bulk RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)and single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)datasets,we identified stable CD8+T cell signatures.Based on these signatures,a 3-gene risk score model,comprised of KLRB1,RGS2,and TN-FRSF1B was constructed.The risk score model was well validated through an independent external validation co-hort.We divided patients into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the risk score and compared the differ-ences in immune microenvironment between these two groups.Compared with low-risk patients,high-risk patients have higher M2-type macrophage content(P<0.0001)and lower CD8+T cells infiltration(P<0.0001).High-risk patients predict worse response to immunotherapy treatment than low-risk patients(P<0.01).Drug sensitivity a-nalysis shows that PI3K-β inhibitor AZD6482 and TGFβRII inhibitor SB505124 may be suitable therapies for high-risk patients,while the IGF-1R inhibitor BMS-754807 or the novel pyrimidine-based anti-tumor metabolic drug Gemcitabine could be potential therapeutic choices for low-risk patients.Moreover,expression of these 3-gene mod-el was verified by immunohistochemistry.In summary,the establishment and validation of a CD8+T cell-derived risk model can more accurately predict the prognosis of HCC patients and guide the construction of personalized treatment plans.

To explore the value of general information and rapid laboratory tests obtained from the emergency department in the early diagnosis and prevention of young patients with acute myocardial infarction and acute myocarditis, in order to prevent the disease from progressing to a critical stage. This study employs a retrospective observational study, compiling clinical data from young patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction or acute myocarditis who were admitted to the Department of Cardiology or Emergency Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2015 to September 2024. Demographic information and laboratory test results from both the outpatient and emergency departments were retrieved. The acute myocardial infarction group comprised 267 patients (257 males, 10 females) aged 23-44 ys, while the acute myocarditis group included 134 patients (93 males, 41 females) aged 18-44 ys. A comparative analysis of the clinical data between the two groups was conducted, encompassing variables such as age, gender, comorbidities, high-risk factors, emergency blood routine tests, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, coagulation profiles, renal function tests, NT-proBNP levels, myocardial injury markers, electrocardiogram readings, blood pressure, and heart rate. The results showed that:Compared with the young myocarditis group, the myocardial infarction group was older (ys)[38(35, 42) vs 30(25, 37), U=7 893, P<0.001], more male [257(96.3%) vs 93(69.4%), χ2=57.95, P<0.001], more smoking [211(79.0%) vs 38(28.4%), χ2=97.32, P<0.001], drinking history [125(46.8%) vs 22(16.4%), χ2=35.51, P<0.001], family history of coronary heart disease [45(16.9%) vs 3(2.2%), χ2=18.09, P<0.001], hypertension [100(37.5%) vs 12(9.0%), χ2=36, P<0.001] and diabetes [42(15.7%) vs 4(3.0%), χ2=14.27, P<0.001].

With acute myocardial infarction as the target outcome, 8 influencing factors selected by LASSO regression, and 5 independent influencing factors were found after multiple Logistic regression, those were age ( OR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.12-1.31; P<0.001), pre-infection ( OR=0.02, 95% CI: 0.01-0.06; P<0.001), body temperature ( OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.18-0.77; P=0.008), chest pain ( OR=26.75, 95% CI: 5.87-121.81; P<0.001) and white blood cell count ( OR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.12-1.44; P<0.001). Younger age, high body temperature and pre-infection are independent predictors for acute myocarditis, while chest pain and elevated white blood cell count are independent predictors for acute myocardial infarction. The five influencing factors selected by multivariate logistic regression and their combined diagnostic model were subjected to ROC analysis. The AUC reached 0.969, sensitivity reached 0.940 and specificity reached 0.925. Calibration curve and decision curve analysis(DCA) demonstrate that the model possesses excellent clinical application value. In conclusion, age, chest pain, pre-infection, body temperature and white blood cell count were independent factors in distinguishing acute myocardial infarction and acute myocarditis in young people. The clinical differential diagnosis model based on 5 independent factors may has high efficiency and good clinical practicability.
