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.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient's lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.

Objective To investigate the effects of Jinfukang on the growth of human lung cancer H358 cell xenografts in nude mice and its regulatory role in the TRIM52-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Methods Human lung cancer H358 cells were cultured,and a subcutaneous xenograft model was established in nude mice.The mice were randomly divided into four groups:0.9％sodium chloride solution,cisplatin(3 mg·kg-1,intraperitoneal injection every 3 days),Jinfukang(0.4 mL,daily oral administration),and Jinfukang combined with cisplatin.Each group included 6 mice.After 15 days of continuous treatment,the tumor growth inhibition rate was calculated.Hematoxylin and eosin(H&E)staining was performed to observe tumor histopathological changes.TUNEL assay was used to evaluate apoptosis and calculate the apoptotic index.The relative mRNA expression levels and protein expression of TRIM52,PCNA,c-Myc,β-catenin,and Cyclin D1 were assessed by Real-time PCR and western blot,respectively.Results Compared with the saline group,Jinfukang,cisplatin,and Jinfukang combined with cisplatin treatments significantly inhibited tumor growth(P＜0.05).The combination group exhibited the most pronounced anti-tumor effect,slightly better than cisplatin alone,although the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Histopathological analysis and apoptosis indices revealed that the combination group showed the most severe necrosis and the highest level of apoptosis compared to other groups(P＜0.05).Furthermore,the combination group significantly downregulated the mRNA(P＜0.05)and protein(P＜0.05)expression levels of Cyclin D1,PCNA,TRIM52,β-catenin and c-Myc.Conclusion Jinfukang effectively inhibits the growth of human lung cancer H358 xenografts,disrupts tumor cell structure,and promotes apoptosis.Its anti-tumor effect is further enhanced when combined with cisplatin.The underlying mechanism may involve the downregulation of TRIM52 expression,leading to the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activity and augmentation of anti-tumor efficacy.

Objective To explore the value of spectral CT quantitative parameters combined with clinical and CT features for predicting lymphovascular invasion(LVI)of colorectal cancer.Methods Clinical,pathological and preoperative abdominal spectral CT data of 98 colorectal cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed.According to pathological results,the patients were divided into LVI group(n=36)and non-LVI group(n=62).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to compared clinical,pathological,conventional CT manifestations and spectral CT quantitative parameters between groups to screen independent predictors for LVI of colorectal cancer,and then a regression model was constructed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn,and the area under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each single independent predictor and regression model for predicting LVI of colorectal cancer.Results Serum carbohydrate antigen 724,CT showed periintestinal fat infiltration and effective atomic number(Zeff)at venous phase were all independent predictors of LVI of colorectal cancer(OR=4.723,7.301 and 18.912,all P＜0.05).AUC of the above independent predictors was 0.582,0.723 and 0.691,respectively,while of the regression model was 0.837.Conclusion Spectral CT quantitative parameters combined with clinical and CT features could effectively predict LVI of colorectal cancer.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of the heart rate variability threshold(HRVT),muscle oxygenation threshold(MOT),and their combined threshold(COMT)in predicting the ventila-tory threshold(VT)and lactate threshold(LT).Methods Twenty male athletes at or above the nation-al level were recruited to perform an incremental exercise test to determine VT and LT,during which gas exchange,muscle oxygenation,and heart rate variability were collected.The HRVT,MOT,and COMT methods were then applied,and their predictive validity was evaluated by comparing the correla-tions and agreements between heart rate(HR)and power output(PO)at VT and LT.Results For HR,VT1 showed strong correlation and agreement with MOT1(r=0.958,ICC=0.944)and COMT1(r=0.957,ICC=0.951),with COMT1 having the smallest mean bias(1.4 bpm)and the narrowest limits of agreement(LOA)(-5.4 to 8.2 bpm).Moreover,VT2 demonstrated the highest correlation and agree-ment with COMT2(r=0.985,ICC=0.982),with a mean bias of-0.7 bpm and LOA of-5.0 to 3.7 bpm.Meanwhile,LT showed high correlation and good agreement with COMT2(r=0.884,ICC=0.754)and MOT2(r=0.886,ICC=0.738),with mean biases of-6.8 bpm and-7.3 bpm,and LOA of-17.5 to 3.8 bpm and-17.9 to 3.2 bpm,respectively.For PO,VT1 had the best correlation and agreement with MOT1(r=0.836,ICC=0.808),with a mean bias of-0.2 W and LOA of-11.7 to 11.3 W.VT2 performed best correlation and agreement with COMT2(r=0.910,ICC=0.900),with a mean bias of 2.3 W and LOA of-8.9 to 13.5 W.In LT prediction,MOT2(r=0.736,ICC=0.692)outperformed COMT2(r=0.635,ICC=0.618),with mean biases of-2.6 W and 0.2 W,and LOA of-26.0 to 20.7 W and-26.6 to 27.1 W,respectively.Conclusion All three indicators—HRVT,MOT,and COMT—demonstrates high validity in predicting VT and LT.MOT1 performs best for predicting PO at VT1,while COMT2 shows the highest consistency for predicting both HR and PO at VT2.Howev-er,for LT prediction,MOT2 is more advantageous for predicting PO,whereas COMT2 is more accu-rate for predicting HR.Therefore,method selection should be tailored to the specific threshold type and measurement target.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms by which astaxanthin(AST)alleviates oxaliplatin(OXA)-induced neuropathic pain through antioxidant pathways so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical intervention.Methods Animal experiments:SD rats were divided into five groups(n=6):control group,OXA(4 mg/kg)group,OXA+Oil group,OXA+AST(5 mg/kg)group,and OXA+AST(10 mg/kg)group.Mechanical and cold pain thresholds were measured at day 0,7,14,and 21.Malondialdehyde(MDA)content and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity in the dorsal root ganglia(DRG)were detected using the thiobarbituric acid(TBA)method and WST-1 assay,respectively.Western blotting was performed to analyze the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1.Cell experiments:neuro-2a cells were divided into control group,OXA(50 μmol/L)group,AST(10 μmol/L)group,and OXA(50 μmol/L)+AST(10 μmol/L)group.Cells were treated with nerve growth factor(NGF,50 ng/mL)to induce growth,and morphological changes were observed under an inverted microscope.Intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)level and mitochondrial superoxide were measured using DCFH-DA fluorescent probe and MitoSOXTM red,respectively.Mitochondrial function was assessed by JC-1 assay.Western blotting was used to detect Nrf2 and HO-1 expressions.Results Animal experiments:① Mechanical and cold pain thresholds were reduced in OXA and OXA+Oil groups(P＜0.05),while AST significantly increased these thresholds in OXA-treated rats(P＜0.05).② SOD activity decreased while MDA content increased in the DRG of OXA-treated rats(P＜0.05).AST restored SOD activity and reduced MDA level(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).③ Western blotting showed elevated Nrf2 and HO-1 expressions in OXA group(P＞0.05),which were further upregulated by AST(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Cell experiments:① OXA reduced the number of neurite-bearing cells and shortened the average neurite length(P＜0.05).Inverted microscopic observation revealed that AST intervention increased both parameters(P＜0.01,P＜0.001).② OXA increased intracellular and mitochondrial ROS fluorescence intensity(P＜0.05),which was attenuated by AST(P＜0.01).③ JC-1 assay revealed decreased mitochondrial membrane potential in OXA group(P＜0.01),which was partially reversed by AST(P＜0.05).④ Western blotting results showed that OXA upregulated Nrf2 and HO-1 expressions(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and AST further enhanced their levels(P＜0.01).Conclusion AST alleviates OXA-induced neuropathic pain by promoting Nrf2/HO-1 expression,enhancing SOD activity,reducing lipid peroxidation and ROS production,and improving mitochondrial function.

Objective To explore the effect of hypoxic exercise on Irisin secretion of obese rats with a palmitic acid-induced lipid accumulation in L6 myotubes and a high-fat diet-induced model.Methods L6 myotubes were treated with 750 μmol/L palmitic acid to induce lipid accumulation and subsequently divided into four groups of normoxia(N),exercise(E),hypoxia(H),and hypoxic exer-cise(HE).Hypoxic conditions(1%O2)were used to simulate a low-oxygen environment,while AICAR stimulation was applied to the E and HE groups to mimic exercise.Eighty 3-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks to establish an obesity model.Fifty obese rats that met the criteria were then selected and randomly assigned according to their body weight into five groups of normoxia-sedentary(NC),normoxia-exercise(NE),hypoxia-sedentary(HC),high-liv-ing high-training(HH),and low-living high-training(LH),each of 10.The hypoxic environment was set at 13.6%O2(simulating 3,500 m altitude).Then the NE,HH and LH groups performed daily one-hour treadmill training(NE:20 m/min;HH and LH:16 m/min),5 days/week for 4 weeks.After the intervention,the body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA),while Irisin concentrations in cell culture media and rat serum were determined by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Moreover,fibronectin type Ⅲ domain-containing 5(FNDC5)mRNA expression in L6 cells and rat skeletal muscle was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR),while FNDC5 and silent information regulator 1-peroxisome proliferators-activated re-ceptor γ coactivator lalpha(SIRT1-PGC-1α)pathway proteins were analyzed using Western blotting.Results(1)Cell experiments:①Compared with the N group,there were significantly higher Irisin lev-els in the culture medium of the E,H,and HE groups(P<0.01,P<0.05),as well as elevated FNDC5 mRNA and protein expression in the E and HE groups(P<0.05,P<0.01).Moreover,the Iri-sin concentration and FNDC5 protein levels of group HE were significantly higher than group E(P<0.05).②Compared with group N,significantly increased SIRT1 and PGC-1α protein expression was observed in groups E and HE(P<0.05,P<0.01).(2)Animal experiments:①Compared with the NC group,body weight and fat mass were significantly lower in the NE,LH,and HH groups(P<0.01),with further reductions observed in the HH group compared with the NE group(P<0.05).② Com-pared with group NC,groups NE,LH,and HH exhibited higher serum Irisin levels and increased FNDC5 mRNA and protein expression in skeletal muscle(P<0.05,P<0.01).Furthermore,FNDC5 pro-tein expression of the HH group was significantly higher than the NE group(P<0.05).③ Compared with the NC group,SIRT1 and PGC-1α protein levels were significantly upregulated in the NE,LH,and HH groups(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Hypoxic exercise effectively alleviates obesity,reduces body weight and fat accumulation in high-fat diet-induced obese rats,and enhances FNDC5 expres-sion and Irisin secretion,which may be mediated through activation of the SIRT1-PGC-1α signaling pathway.Moreover,among the different hypoxic exercise modalities,the"high-living high-training"protocol appears to have greater benefits in promoting FNDC5/Irisin expression and facilitating weight and fat reduction in obese rats.

Background and Aims:Secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT)is a common and difficult-to-treat complication of chronic kidney disease(CKD),significantly impairing patients'quality of life and prognosis.For patients who respond poorly to medical therapy,surgical intervention remains an effective treatment option.This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of total parathyroidectomy with forearm autotransplantation(tPTX+AT)in the treatment of CKD-related SHPT.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 40 patients with CKD complicated by SHPT who underwent tPTX+AT in Gaozhou People's Hospital between January 2020 and June 2023.Changes in intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH),serum phosphorus,calcium,alkaline phosphatase(ALP),and bone mineral density(BMD)were recorded preoperatively and at multiple postoperative time points.Postoperative symptom relief,complications,and follow-up outcomes were also analyzed.Results:A total of 158 parathyroid glands were removed during surgery.Among the patients,38 had four glands successfully excised,while two had only three glands removed.After operation,levels of iPTH,phosphorus,calcium,and ALP decreased significantly compared to preoperative values(all P<0.05),and BMD increased significantly at 3 months(P<0.05).Symptoms such as bone pain,pruritus,and restless leg syndrome improved markedly by 3 months postoperatively(all P<0.05).Hypocalcemia occurred in 34 cases(85.0%);one patient experienced transient recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and one had superior laryngeal nerve injury,both of which resolved after treatment.The two patients who had only three glands removed exhibited persistent SHPT postoperatively,with iPTH levels of 457 pg/mL and 609 pg/mL,respectively.Although their symptoms improved partially,the condition was medically controlled without the need for reoperation.Conclusion:tPTX+AT can effectively correct mineral metabolism disorders and improve BMD and clinical symptoms in SHPT patients.The procedure achieves a high rate of complete gland resection and stable autograft function.Although postoperative hypocalcemia is common,overall complications are manageable.This surgical approach is safe and effective for the treatment of refractory SHPT.
