ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the content differences of 4 components in Leonuri Herba granules， reveal the quality fluctuation patterns of products from the same and different manufacturers， providing scientific basis for the optimization of production process and quality control. MethodsHigh performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector-charged aerosol detector（HPLC-DAD-CAD） was employed to determine the contents of 4 components（syringic acid， leonurine hydrochloride， ferulic acid， and stachydrine hydrochloride） in samples from 19 manufacturers（53 batches， 159 boxes）. Additionally， fingerprint profiles were constructed， and the fingerprint dissimilarity（P_S） and relative standard deviation（RSD） of different samples from the same manufacturer were calculated. A principal component analysis（PCA） model was established with P_S and the RSD values of the 4 components as variables to classify the manufacturers. Finally， samples from 5 manufacturers（M1-M5） covering three consistency groups were selected to calculate three quality consistency parameters， namely intra-batch consistency（P_A）， inter-batch consistency（P_B）， and P_S. Then， PCA was performed with P_A， P_B， and P_S of these 5 manufacturers as variables. ResultsThe average total content of the 4 index components per bag across the 19 manufacturers ranged from 41.10 mg to 97.54 mg. Among them， the content of stachydrine hydrochloride（a pharmacopoeial quality control component） was 32.46-72.70 mg per bag， all meeting the requirements of the 2025 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China， with RSD of 1.7%-17.1%. The content ranges of the other 3 components were as follows：syringic acid of 1.43-41.92 mg per bag， leonurine hydrochloride of 0.67-11.85 mg per bag， and ferulic acid of 0.11-3.81 mg per bag. Notably， leonurine hydrochloride exhibited the most significant content fluctuation among samples from the same manufacturer（RSD of 4.8%-59.2%）. PCA results showed that the 19 manufacturers could be classified into 3 categories. Samples from 8 manufacturers（M2， M6， M7， M8， M10， M15， M17， M18） demonstrated relatively high consistency， five manufacturers（M3， M9， M12， M13， M14） showed moderate consistency， six manufacturers（M1， M4， M5， M11， M16， M19） exhibited low consistency. The two methods yielded consistent classification results for the 5 representative manufacturers， verifying the reliability of the proposed method. Among these， manufacturer M2 showed the best quality consistency and the highest total content of indicator components among M1-M5. ConclusionThe HPLC-DAD-CAD multi-detector hyphenation technology established in this study enables the accurate detection of 4 components in Leonuri Herba granules. Significant differences in the total content of these four components are observed among products from 19 manufacturers. The application of 2 consistency evaluation methods combined with PCA can effectively classify their consistency into 3 categories， and the classification results of the 2 methods are highly consistent. This study provides scientific basis for the process optimization and quality standard improvement of Leonuri Herba granules.

The 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting was held in Chicago. At the meeting, researches on the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) once again took the spotlight. Combination therapy strategies have demonstrated the potential to overcome resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) and prolong survival. Meanwhile, progress has also been made in individualized treatment strategies for young patients and those with fibrotic interstitial lung disease. However, the complexity of resistance mechanisms, special treatment considerations for different populations, and the impact of socioeconomic factors on treatment accessibility remain challenges in the field of EGFR-mutant NSCLC treatment. In the future, it is necessary to further explore more effective treatment regimens and expand the accessibility of precision medicine to maximize patient benefits.

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 analyze the clinical efficacy and learning curve for robot-assisted cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation performed by surgeons with different seniority in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease.Methods:The clinical data of 91 lumbar degenerative disease patients underwent robot-assisted CBT screw fixation from August 2020 to December 2022 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 48 patients underwent surgery performed by the same senior surgeon (senior group), with a total of 234 CBT screws were placed; while 43 patients underwent surgery performed by the same junior surgeon (junior group), with a total of 206 CBT screws were placed. The surgical related indexes, functional improvement score, lower back pain and lower limb radiation pain scores, acceptable nail insertion rate, non invasion rate of facet joints and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between two groups. The functional improvement score was evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, the pain score was evaluated using visual analog score (VAS). The cumulative sum (CUSUM) method was used to depict the learning curve with "single screw placement time" as the observation index.Results:There were no statistical difference in incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay between two groups ( P>0.05). The least squares means of JOA scores 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery in both groups increased significantly compared to baseline, while the least squares means of lower back pain VAS and lower limb radiation pain VAS decreased significantly compared to baseline; there were no statistical differences between two groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in acceptable nail insertion rate, non invasion rate of facet joints and incidence of postoperative complications between two group ( P>0.05). The CUSUM learning curves were fitting well and the inflection point for senior surgeon corresponded to 18 cases, while it was reached after performing surgery on 21 cases for junior surgeon. Conclusions:Robot-assisted CBT screw fixation performed by surgeons with different seniority could achieve similar clinical outcomes for treating lumbar degenerative disease. The senior surgeons are able to complete the initial learning stage faster than the junior surgeons, but there is not much difference in the number of surgeries performed the learning curve.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness and safety between robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and traditional fluoroscopy-assisted PKP in the treatment of dual-segment recurrent osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) including in situ vertebral fracture.Methods:The clinical data of 33 patients with dual-segment recurrent OVCF including in situ vertebral fracture from January 2016 to January 2023 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with PKP. Among them, 14 patients were treated with robot-assisted surgery (robot-assisted group), and 19 patients were treated with fluoroscopy-assisted surgery (fluoroscopy-assisted group). The total surgical time, preparation time and number of fluoroscopy were recorded. The in situ and other fracture vertebral operation time, number of punctures, amount of bone cement injection, bone cement filling effect, bone cement leakage, pedicle wall breakthrough and other special intraoperative situations were separately recorded. The visual analogue score (VAS) before surgery and 1 d, 3 months after surgery was recorded.Results:The preparation time in robot-assisted group was significantly longer than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (30.8 ± 6.9) min vs. (19.1 ± 4.5) min, the number of fluoroscopy was significantly lower than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (17.1 ± 4.1) times vs. (41.0 ± 6.3) times, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 and <0.05); there were no statistical differences in total surgical time and VAS at any time point between the two groups ( P>0.05). For the in situ fracture segment, the operation time and number of punctures in robot-assisted group were significantly lower than those in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (15.4 ± 2.8) min vs. (22.0 ± 5.5) min and (1.1 ± 0.4) times vs. (2.4 ± 1.2) times, the amount of bone cement injection was significantly higher than those in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (2.36 ± 0.75) ml vs. (1.79 ± 0.69) ml, the filling effect of bone cement was significantly better than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 and <0.05); there were no statistical difference in bone cement leakage and pedicle wall breakthrough between the two groups ( P>0.05). For the other fracture segment, the operation time in robot-assisted group was significantly shorter than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (13.8 ± 3.8) min vs. (19.2 ± 6.4) min, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there were no statistical difference in number of punctures, amount of bone cement injection, filling effect of bone cement, bone cement leakage and pedicle wall breakthrough between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Robot-assisted PKP in the treatment of dual-segment OVCF including in situ vertebral fracture, could reduce operation time, minimize punctures and fluoroscopy numbers, and provide superior bone cement filling results.

Complex liver resection (CLR) is a collective term for surgical procedures addre-ssing complex invasion of intrahepatic vasculobiliary structures that cannot be radically resected through conventional methods. The ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA) and its modified techniques have significantly enhanced the technical feasibility of CLR implementation. In recent years, advancements in modified ELRA techniques and derivative procedures, including conversion resection, in-situ hypothermic perfusion, and auxiliary liver transplantation, have further diversified CLR methodologies, offering more personalized treatment options for CLR candidates. Given the complexity of such cases and substantial variations in surgical approach selection, improving procedural safety and scalability remains a critical challenge in CLR practice. The authors review the current application of modified techniques based on ELRA in CLR, evaluate the clinical significance based on institutional experiences, and propose future directions and individual selection for advancing the safe implementation of CLR.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the efficacy of different exercise regimens to reduce fall risks in older adults.METHODS:PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,The Cochrane Library,WanFang,and CNKI were searched for studies about exercise interventions on fall risk in healthy older adult individuals at the age of 60 years and above.The search timeframe should cover from the inception of each database to July 2023.Quality assessment and risk-of-bias were assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool.Meta-analysis,subgroup analysis,sensitivity analysis,and publication bias were conducted using Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 16.0.RESULTS:A total of 45 papers containing 54 studies with 3 074 participants were included in the analysis.Overall,exercise intervention can improve the interventional effects on balance(the unipedal stance test with eyes open,functional reach,Timed"Up & Go",and Berg balance scale),lower limb muscle strength(30-second chair-stand test,Five-Times Sit-To-Stand Test,and Short Physical Performance Battery),and fall-efficacy(Falls Efficacy Scale-International),leading to reduced fall risk(P＜0.05).The Meta-analysis results revealed a dosage effect of different exercise regimens to reduce fall risk in the elderly.Mind-body exercise could efficiently increase scores of the unipedal stance test[mean difference(MD)=6.81,95％confidence interval(CI)(2.17,11.44),P＜0.01];resistance exercise could efficiently increase the scores of the Timed"Up & Go"[MD=-3.12,95％CI(-5.72,-0.52),P＜0.05]and the 30-second chair-stand test[MD=1.22,95％CI(0.37,2.08),P＜0.01];and multicomponent physical activity could efficiently increase the scores of functional reach[MD=4.50,95％CI(2.58,6.42),P＜0.01],Berg Balance Scale[MD=1.05,95％CI(0.39,1.71),P＜0.01],Five-Times Sit-To-stand Test[MD=-3.15,95％CI(-4.80,-1.50),P＜0.01],Short Physical Performance Battery[MD=0.55,95％CI(0.37,0.74),P＜0.01],and Falls Efficacy Scale-International[MD=-0.41,95％CI(0.69,-0.13),P＜0.01].Conclusion:Exercise interventions can effectively improve balance,enhance limb strength and functional ability,and reduce fear of falling,and lower the risk of falls in older adults.The components of different intervention programs(such as type of exercise,duration,frequency,and session length)have varying dose-response relationships with the results of fall risk screening tests in older adults.

BACKGROUND:The development of calcium phosphate bone cement is limited due to its poor mechanical properties and weak osteogenic ability.Silicate bioactive glass is highly favored due to its excellent biological activity and osteogenic ability.Simultaneously,fiber structures can enhance the mechanical strength of materials.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanical properties,biocompatibility,and osteogenic effect of silicate bioactive glass fiber composite calcium phosphate bone cement.METHODS:Different mass percentages(0％,10％,and 20％)of silicate bioactive glass fiber were added to the solid phase of calcium phosphate bone cement,mixed with the liquid phase and cured for 48 hours to obtain silicate bioactive glass fiber composite calcium phosphate bone cement.The mechanical properties,setting time,and ion precipitation of the cement were characterized.The three groups of bone cement extracts were co-cultured with MC3T3-E1 cells.The cell compatibility of the materials was evaluated by CCK-8 assay,live/dead staining,and phalloidin staining.After osteogenic induction,the osteogenic induction ability of the materials was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase staining,alizarin red staining,RUNX2 immunofluorescence staining,and RT-PCR.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase of silicate bioactive glass fiber content,the compressive strength and flexural strength of bone cement increased,and the setting time was prolonged.When bone cement was immersed in simulated body fluid,the precipitation of silicon ions,calcium ions,and phosphorus ions could be detected.Moreover,with the increase of silicate bioactive glass fiber content,the mass concentration of silicon ions and phosphorus ions released by bone cement increased,and the mass concentration of calcium ions decreased.(2)Live/dead staining and phalloidin staining results exhibited that silicate bioactive glass fiber composite calcium phosphate bone cement had no toxic effect on MC3T3-E1 cells.CCK-8 assay results showed that silicate bioactive glass fiber composite calcium phosphate bone cement could promote the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells.(3)With the increase of silicate bioactive glass fiber content in bone cement,the alkaline phosphatase activity and extracellular calcium deposition of MC3T3-E1 cells increased,the expression of RUNX2 protein increased,and the expression of alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,osteopontin,and RUNX2 mRNA expression increased.(4)The results indicate that silicate bioactive glass fibers can enhance the mechanical properties and osteogenic induction ability of calcium phosphate bone cement,among which 20％silicate bioactive glass fibers have a more obvious effect.

Objective To develop a three-compartment kinetic fatigue model for the isometric muscle endurance of the hip,knee,and ankle joints at 50％IPT(isometric peak torque),so as to provide a theoretical basis for simulation-based assessments and load evaluations in biomechanics and sports science.Methods The IPT of the hip,knee,and ankle joints was measured in 40 male university students.Isometric endurance tests were then performed on all three joints at 50％IPT until exhaustion.Electromyography data and endurance time(ET)of major lower limb muscles were collected concurrently.The differences between ETs predicted by models based on previously recommended F and R parameters and actual ETs were analyzed.Subsequently,experimental ETs were used in a grid search to optimize Fand R parameters,allowing for the development of an accurate three-compartment kinetic model.Results The ET of the hip and ankle joints was significantly longer than that of the knee joint(P＜0.001).Models using previously recommended Fand R parameters overestimated ET,with significantly higher predicted values than experimentally measured ET(P＜0.001),as well as elevated root mean squared error(RMSE)and mean relatvie error(MRE)values.The grid search successfully identified Fand R parameters for the three-compartment model in isometric endurance tests of lower limb joints,with no statistical difference between model-predicted ET and experimental ET(P＞0.05).Conclusions The developed model in this study can serve as an indirect measurement tool for evaluating load in similar activities.
