With the continuous advancements in immunotherapy and targeted therapy, the treatment management and surgical resection assessment of locally advanced lung cancer have undergone significant changes. In October 2024, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) released the "STS expert consensus on the multidisciplinary management and resectability of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer", which provides the latest insights on the evaluation of resectability and multidisciplinary management of locally advanced lung cancer, neoadjuvant (including perioperative) therapy, and adjuvant therapy. This article aims to interpret this consensus, with the goal of introducing the latest perspectives of the STS consensus to thoracic surgeons and providing a reference for the rational implementation of surgical resection, multidisciplinary management, and standardized comprehensive treatment models for non-small cell lung cancer in China.

Objective To investigate the predictive ability of cyst fluid characteristics for malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). Methods We prospectively collected fresh cyst fluid from patients undergoing pancreatic resection at the Department of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Spleen Surgery, Changhai Hospital, Shanghai, from September 2023 to December 2024, who were ultimately pathologically confirmed with IPMN. We assessed the characteristics of cyst fluid, including viscosity, clarity, and color, and explored its predictive performance for benign or malignant. Results A total of 40 patients with IPMN were included. The sensitivity of the string sign （+） for diagnosing high-grade dysplasia/ invasive carcinoma （HGD/IC） was 90.9%, specificity was 92.9%, and accuracy was 76.0%. The cyst fluid of intestinal-type IPMN often exhibited a gelatinous consistency, and there was no significant difference in the distribution of gelatinous consistency between the HGD/IC group and the low-grade dysplasia （LGD） group. There were no significant differences in CEA, glucose, and amylase levels in the cyst fluid between the HGD/IC group and the LGD group. Conclusions The characteristics of pancreatic cyst fluid, especially viscosity, can effectively predict the benign or malignant nature of IPMN.

Objective To determine the acute effects of blood flow restriction(BFR)running warm-up on Achilles tendon morphology and function in basketball players in order to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing warm-up protocols for military personnel and athletes susceptible to Achilles tendon injuries.Methods Twenty-seven male basketball players were subjected and asked to participate in 3 different running warm-up protocols:low-speed running(LSR),high-speed running(HSR),and BFR combined with LSR(BFR-LSR).The acute changes in Achilles tendon morphology,mechanical properties,and functional performance across the 3 testing sessions were analyzed and compared.Results Immediately after training,both HSR warm-up and BFR-LSR warm-up significantly improved Achilles tendon thickness,blood flow,stiffness,and gastrocnemius maximal voluntary isometric contraction(MVIC)when compared with LSR warm-up(P<0.05).No statistical differences were observed in above indicators between the BFR-LSR and HSR warm-ups(P>0.05).24 hours after training,compared with LSR warm-up,HSR warm-up still significantly improved Achilles tendon thickness,blood flow,stiffness,and gastrocnemius MVIC(P<0.05).Although BFR-LSR warm-up did not show statistically significant differences in these parameters compared to LSR warm-up,it still demonstrated positive trends.Immediately and 24 h after training,no obvious difference were found in jump performance among the 3 warm-up protocols(P>0.05),but,both BFR-LSR and HSR warm-ups exhibited superior performance than LSR warm-up.Conclusion Immediately after training,BFR-LSR warm-up demonstrates comparable effects to the HSR warm-up on improving Achilles tendon morphology and performance,as well as enhancing jump performance.However,its sustained and long-term effects require further investigation.

Objective To investigate the effects of exposure to various concentrations of cigar smoke on gut microbiota in mice.Methods A total of 40 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group,the low-dose cigar exposure group,the medium-dose group and the high-dose group,with 10 mice in each group.After 4 weeks of feeding,fecal samples were collected for gene sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA and analysis of differences in gut microbiota.Results Compared to the control group,gut microbiota richness was signifi-cantly reduced in the cigar-exposed groups(P<0.05).Compared with thecontrol group,the Shannon index of mice in the high-dose group was significantly increased(P<0.05).In multi-group comparisons,ten bacterial genera with high abundance-such as Akkermansia,Allobaculum,and Alloprevotella-were identified.Pairwise comparison results indicated that compared to the control group,abundances of Akkermansia,Candidatus_Sac-charimonas,and Lactobacillus decreased while those of Allobaculum,Alloprevotella,Muribaculaceae,and Pre-votellaceae_UCG001 increased(P<0.05).Alistipes and Faecalibaculum showed significant increases in low-dose and medium-dose groups respectively,Blautia and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136 group exhibited notable in-creases in the high-dose group(P<0.05).Linear discriminant analysis effect size revealed that six phyla and forty-four species displayed significant differences across all groups at both phylum and species levels,distinct dose-specific were observed among different cigar exposure groups.Conclusion Cigar smoke exposure and different exposure concentrations can both cause changes in the gut microbiota.The effects of different con-centrations of cigars on the gut microbiota of mice are specific.

Objective:To explore the association between insulin resistance (IR) and genome-wide DNA methylation based on Shanghai twin study.Methods:Monozygotic twins (MZ) from Shanghai were recruited during 2012-2013, 2017-2018, and 2022-2023. Data were collected by questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests. Genome-wide DNA methylation was quantified. Generalized linear mixed effect model was applied to analyze the association between methylation level at each site and homeostatic model assessment 2-insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR). Non-paired and paired designs were used to assess the association between DNA methylation and phenotype of IR. Cluster analysis was conducted to identify the clusters of top significant sites. Generalized linear regression was performed to examine the differential methylation patterns from clusters.Results:A total of 100 MZ pairs were included in this study. Hypermethylated cg10535199-2q23.1 ( β=0.74%, P=1.51×10 -7, OR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.03-1.09) and ch.17.49619327- SPOP ( β=0.23%, P=7.54×10 -7, OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.08-1.28) were identified with suggestive significance. After correcting for multiple testing, no sites reached genome-wide significance. There was no statistical significance in the paired analysis. Two clusters with hypomethylated ( β=-0.39%, P<0.001) and hypermethylated ( β=0.47%, P<0.001) patterns were observed for HOMA2-IR. Conclusions:IR was significantly associated with DNA methylation, and genetic factors might contribute to the association.

Diabetes is a complex disease caused by the combined effects of genetic and environmental factors， which seriously affects people’s health level and living quality. As a special research tool， the twin method can be used to estimate the relative effects of genes and environment on diabetes-related traits. Moreover， compared with regular study subjects， twins have natural controls. The extended methods combined with genetic statistics and molecular biology techniques also help to analyze risk factors of diabetes and clarify the true relationship between exposure and outcome. This paper reviewed the progress of the application of the twin method to diabetes factorial studies in the past ten years at home and abroad， and summarized the advantages and limitations of the classical twin model， co-twin control studies， and genome-wide and epigenetic epidemiological studies.

Objective: To understand the consistency of ALK Ventana-D5F3 immunohistochemistry (IHC) interpretation in Chinese lung adenocarcinoma among histopathologists from different hospitals, and to recommend solution for the problems found during the interpretation of ALK IHC in real world, with the aim of the precise selection of patients who can benefit from ALK targeted therapy. Methods: This was a multicenter and retrospective study. A total of 109 lung adenocarcinoma cases with ALK Ventana-D5F3 IHC staining were collected from 31 lung cancer centers in RATICAL research group from January to June in 2018. All cases were scanned into digital imaging with Ventana iSCANcoreo Digital Slide Scanning System and scored by 31 histopathologists from different centers according to ALK binary (positive or negative) interpretation based on its manufacturer′s protocol. The cases with high inconsistency rate were further analyzed using FISH/RT-PCR/NGS. Results: There were 49 ALK positive cases and 60 ALK negative cases, confirmed by re-evaluation by the specialist panel. Two cases (No. 2302 and No.2701) scored as positive by local hospitals were rescored as negative, and were confirmed to be negative by RT-PCR/FISH/NGS. The false interpretation rate of these two cases was 58.1% (18/31) and 48.4% (15/31), respectively. Six out of 31 (19.4%) pathologists got 100% accuracy. The minimum consistency between every two pathologists was 75.8%.At least one pathologist gave negative judgement (false negative) or positive judgement (false positive) in the 49 positive or 60 negative cases, accounted for 26.5% (13/49), 41.7% (25/60), respectively, with at least one uncertainty interpretation accounted for 31.2% (34/109). Conclusion There are certain heterogeneities and misclassifications in the real world interpretation of ALK-D5F3 IHC test, which need to be guided by the oncoming expert consensus based on the real world data.
