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.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common gynecological disease during pregnancy, clinically characterized by repeated spontaneous abortions, yet its pathological mechanism remains incompletely understood. Traditional Chinese medicine attributes the pathogenesis of RSA to the deficiency of Chong Ren and the lack of fetal solidity. It has amassed experience in treating RSA, with Shoutaiwan being widely utilized for addressing miscarriage symptoms such as habitual abortion due to kidney deficiency, bleeding during pregnancy, and fetal movement. In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in experimental studies on the application of Shoutaiwan in treating RSA and on related experiments. These studies have demonstrated that Shoutaiwan preserves the fetus mainly by modulating hormone balance, alleviating immune inflammation, and enhancing blood coagulation equilibrium during pregnancy. Besides, through the modulation of key signaling pathways such as nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and Janus kinase 1 (JAK1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Shoutaiwan has improved cellular antioxidant capacity, adjusted the phenotype of trophoblast and metaphase cells, and inhibited immune rejection, thus improving the pregnancy success rate. These findings not only elucidate the diverse biological foundations underlying Shoutaiwan's efficacy in treating RSA but also offer a scientific rationale for its clinical application and further mechanism research. Nonetheless, there remains a dearth of systematic reviews on RSA treatment with Shoutaiwan. Therefore, this review summarizes and synthesizes existing research findings to systematically analyze existing literature and studies, delving deeply into the principal pharmacological effects and associated signaling pathways of Shoutaiwan in regulating RSA. It aims to establish crucial reference points for its clinical application in RSA treatment and future experiments and research.

Objective:To assess the safety of a novel domestically developed direct visualization system of peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy for the exploration of biliary tract.Methods:Clinical data from 384 patients with biliary tract diseases who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) at the Endoscopy Center of Shanghai Xuhui District Central Hospital from November 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into 2 groups based on the type of cholangioscope: the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group ( n=159) and the SpyGlass group ( n=225). In the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group, the new direct visualization system of China-made peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy was used for bile duct exploration, while the SpyGlass group utilized the SpyGlass system for bile duct inspection. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used as a nearest-neighbor method with a caliper of 0.01 to minimize confounding factors, resulting in a balanced sample of 122 patients in each group after matching. The primary outcome was the incidence of short-term complications, with secondary outcomes including technical success rates and post-treatment outcomes. Results:After PSM, there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups ( P>0.05). Regarding short-term postoperative complications, pancreatitis occurred in 1.6% (2/122) of patients in the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group and 7.4% (9/122) in the SpyGlass group. The new system significantly reduced the incidence of post-procedure pancreatitis ( χ2=4.665, P=0.031). The cholecystitis was absent in the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group, while it occurred in 0.8% (1/122) cases in the SpyGlass group, with no significant difference between the two groups after the procedure ( P=1.000). Regarding technical success rate, the novel system group achieved a rate of 99.2% (121/122), while the SpyGlass group achieved 97.5% (119/122) ( P=0.622). A slightly higher success rate was observed in the novel system group.There were 81 cases of postoperative biliary drainage in the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group and 74 cases in the SpyGlass group. Conclusion:The novel direct visualization system of peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy is safer than SpyGlass in the exploration of biliary system diseases. Endoscopists are encouraged to choose the appropriate cholangioscopy system based on individual patient characteristics for the direct visualization, diagnosis, and treatment of biliary diseases.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods:A cross-sectional survey method was used to select 152 patients with stage 5 CKD who received treatment in the Department of Nephrology, Hefei First People's Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 as research subjects. Based on the patients' intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels, they were divided into three groups: low iPTH group ( n = 63), normal iPTH group ( n = 46), and high iPTH group ( n = 43). The differences in SII and MLR among the three groups were analyzed. The relationship between SII and the occurrence of high iPTH was analyzed to assess the predictive efficacy of SII for high iPTH. Results:Among the 152 patients with stage 5 CKD, the low iPTH group accounted for 41.45% (63/152), the normal iPTH group for 30.26% (46/152), and the high iPTH group for 28.29% (43/152). The prevalence of hypertension in each group was as follows: 85.71% (54/63) in the low iPTH group, 89.13% (41/46) in the normal iPTH group, and 60.77% (30/43) in the high iPTH group ( χ2 = 6.60, P = 0.037). Other parameters showed significant differences among the groups: neutrophil count was 3.60 (2.94, 4.79) × 10 9/L in the low iPTH group, 4.08 (3.16, 4.88) × 10 9/L in the normal iPTH group, and 5.21 (4.08, 6.75) ×10 9/L in the high iPTH group ( Z = 25.64, P < 0.001); lymphocyte count was 1.51 (1.13, 1.85) × 10 9/L, 1.18 (1.00, 1.68) × 10 9/L, and 1.10 (0.75, 1.66) × 10 9/L, respectively ( Z = 8.25, P = 0.016); monocyte count was 0.47 (0.36, 0.62) × 10 9/L, 0.53 (0.42, 0.70) × 10 9/L, and 0.43 (0.33, 0.54) × 10 9/L, respectively ( Z = 8.15, P = 0.017); serum albumin levels were (37.26 ± 5.77) g/L, (36.31 ± 5.68) g/L, and (41.53 ± 4.90) g/L, respectively ( t = 10.85, P < 0.001); creatinine levels were 214.00 (148.00, 343.00) μmol/L, 462.00 (338.50, 682.25) μmol/L, and 835.50 (702.50, 960.75) μmol/L, respectively ( Z = 74.65, P < 0.001); serum calcium levels were 2.19 (2.11, 2.28) mmol/L, 2.16 (2.04, 2.26) mmol/L, and 2.32 (2.10, 2.49) mmol/L, respectively ( Z = 11.77, P = 0.003); serum phosphate levels were 1.21 (1.04, 1.49) mmol/L, 1.47 (1.27, 1.83) mmol/L, and 1.99 (1.65, 2.49) mmol/L, respectively ( Z = 48.72, P < 0.001); SII values were 362.75 (292.68, 639.92), 491.03 (380.12, 715.77), and 851.50 (525.23, 1 149.72), respectively ( Z = 33.02, P < 0.001); and MLR values were 0.30 (0.24, 0.43), 0.43 (0.30, 0.52), and 0.35 (0.28, 0.61), respectively ( Z = 9.02, P = 0.011). All differences among the three groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences among the groups regarding age, gender, height, body mass index, smoking history, alcohol consumption history, prevalence of diabetes, platelet count, serum total protein, uric acid, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (all P > 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that elevated SII ( OR = 1.003, P = 0.024) was an independent risk factor for increased serum iPTH ( P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the area under the curve for SII predicting high iPTH in patients with stage 5 CKD was 0.774 ( P < 0.001). Conclusions:In patients with stage 5 CKD, elevated creatinine, serum calcium, and SII are independent risk factors for increased serum iPTH, and SII has predictive value for the occurrence of high iPTH in patients with CKD.

Objective:To analyze the therapeutic effect of a virtual reality (VR)-based accommodation training device on accommodative excess visual fatigue.Methods:A case-control study was conducted.A total of 20 normal subjects (20 eyes) and 20 patients with accommodative excess visual fatigue (20 eyes) were recruited at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University between January and December 2022.The study consisted of two phases.In the first phase, the effect of watching videos with VR glass on the subjects' subjective and objective visual function was evaluated.Normal subjects wore VR device to watch a 2D video for 30 minutes, and assessments were performed before and after viewing.These assessments included binocular accommodation/convergence function (accommodation response, accommodative convergence to accommodation ratio [AC/A]), tear film function (first tear film break-up time), subjective symptoms (visual fatigue score), and basic visual health parameters including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP).In the second phase, the improvement in subjective and objective visual fatigue metrics with the VR-based accommodation training device was investigated.Patients with visual fatigue were divided into a traditional training group using traditional flipper lenses and a VR training group using the VR accommodation training device, with 10 eyes in each group.The effects of the VR accommodation training device on indicators such as accommodative sensitivity, accommodation response, convergence function, visual fatigue score, acceptability score, system usability score, BCVA, and IOP were evaluated and compared between the two groups.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University (No.IIT2021007).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:In normal subjects, there was no statistically significant difference in first tear film break-up time, distance phoria, near phoria, AC/A, accommodative response, BCVA, or IOP before and after 30 minutes of continuous viewing of 2D video using VR glass ( t=1.155, 1.360, 4.479, 1.979, -1.249, -3.017, 2.211; all P>0.05).The visual fatigue score remained unchanged at (1.00±0.00) points before and after viewing.Among the subjects with visual fatigue, there were statistically significant differences in binocular accommodative sensitivity, dominant eye accommodative sensitivity, and BCVA before and after using the VR accommodation training device ( F=8.693, 4.078, 4.942; all P<0.05).Ocular accommodation sensitivity at 8 weeks after training was improved compared with 1 week after training, and BCVA at 4 weeks after training was improved compared with before training, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05).In the VR training group, the average tear film break-up time, first tear film break-up time, and BCVA increased and the visual fatigue score decreased compared with before training, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).In the traditional training group, the accommodation sensitivity of the dominant eye increased after training compared with before training, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Watching 2D videos with VR glass for 30 minutes does not induce subjective or objective symptoms of visual fatigue.The VR-based accommodation training paradigm effectively improves accommodative sensitivity and alleviates subjective symptoms of visual fatigue in individuals with accommodative excess visual fatigue.
