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 compare the efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous reduction and screw fixation versus open reduction and plate fixation via the sinus tarsi approach in the treatment of Sanders types II and III calcaneal fractures.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 82 patients (90 feet) with calcaneal fractures admitted to the Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2020 to April 2024, including 74 males and 8 females, aged 24-87 years [(46.4±12.1)years]. According to Essex-Lopresti classification, the fractures were classified as tongue-type in 43 patients and joint-collapse-type in 47. According to Sanders classification, 69 feet were classified as type II and 21 as type III. Forty-seven patients (52 feet) were treated with robot-assisted percutaneous reduction and screw fixation (screw fixation group) and 35 (38 feet) with open reduction and plate fixation via the sinus tarsi approach (plate fixation group). The two groups were compared in terms of the operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay and time to weight-bearing. The width, height, length, B?hler angle and Gissane angle of the calcaneus before surgery and at 1 day after surgery were compared. The Maryland foot and ankle function score, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hindfoot function score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score at 1, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up were compared. The incidence of postoperative complications and removal rate of internal fixation were also detected in the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 9-60 months [(30.0±14.5)months]. There was no significant difference in the operation duration between the two groups ( P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay and time to weight-bearing in the screw fixation group were 10.0(10.0, 20.0)ml, 7.0(5.0, 8.0)days and (5.0±0.8)weeks, which were significantly less or shorter than 30.0(20.0, 50.0)ml, 8.0(6.0, 11.0)days and (6.9±0.7)weeks in the plate fixation group ( P<0.05). The width, height, length, B?hler angle and Gissane angle of the calcaneus at 1 day after surgery were (43.4±4.2)mm, (46.2±4.0)mm, (81.6±5.1)mm, 27.1(20.4, 30.4)° and (113.4±10.1)° in the screw fixation group, which were all improved compared with those before surgery [(47.8±4.6)mm, (39.3±4.8)mm, (79.2±5.9)mm, 9.5(0.0,16.5)° and (119.3±13.4)°] ( P<0.01). The width, height, length and B?hler angle of the calcaneus at 1 day after surgery were (41.6±5.7)mm, (48.4±4.8)mm, (83.1±5.7)mm and 27.3(21.3, 31.6)° in the plate fixation group, which were all improved compared with those before surgery [(47.8±5.0)mm, (41.7±5.1)mm, (80.1±5.9)mm and 12.9(7.2,19.8)°] ( P<0.01), with no significant difference in the Gissane angle ( P>0.05). Before surgery and at 1 day postoperatively, no significant differences were found in the width, length, B?hler angle or Gissane angle of the calcaneus between the two groups ( P>0.05), while the height of the calcaneus in the screw fixation group was lower than that in the plate fixation group ( P<0.05). At 1 month after surgery and at the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in the Maryland foot and ankle function score, AOFAS ankle and hindfoot function score, and VAS score between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 3 months after surgery in the screw fixation group, the Maryland foot and ankle function score was (79.7±3.8)points, significantly higher than (74.7±2.8)points in the plate fixation group ( P<0.01); the AOFAS ankle and hindfoot function score was (77.1±5.0)points, significantly higher than (70.1±3.6)points in the plate fixation group ( P<0.01); the VAS score was 1.0(1.0, 2.0)points, significantly lower than 2.5(2.0, 3.0)points in the plate fixation group ( P<0.01). No significant difference was detected in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). The removal rate of internal fixation was 10% (5/52) in the screw fixation group, significantly lower than 29% (11/38) in the plate fixation group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with open reduction and plate fixation via the sinus tarsi approach, robot-assisted percutaneous reduction and screw fixation has the advantages of less intraoperative blood loss, shorter hospital stay, earlier weight-bearing exercises, better early functional recovery and pain relief, and lower internal fixation removal rate in the treatment of Sanders types II and III calcaneal fractures.

Objective To construct a predictive model for clinical pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer(FET)cycles in women with advanced maternal age(age≥35 years)and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 2717 older patients who underwent FET treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2018 to December 2023.These Patients were divided into a clinical pregnancy group(n=851)and a non-clinical pregnancy group(n=1866)based on whether the clinical pregnancy had occurred.The general characteristics and transplantation details of the two groups were compared,and a logistic regression analysis model was constructed.Results The clinical pregnancy rate(CPR)was 31.32%.The CPR for women aged 35-40 years(40.06%)was higher than that for women aged≥40 years(19.35%),with a statistically significant difference(χ2=133.371,P<0.05).The model results showed that the higher anti-Mullerian hormone(AMH)levels(OR=1.053,95%CI:1.012-1.095),the more high-quality blastocysts were transferred(OR=1.704,95%CI:1.143-2.542;OR=2.861,95%CI:1.921-4.262);the more high-quality blastocysts were transferred(OR=2.033,95%CI:1.077-3.836;OR=3.886,95%CI:2.035-7.420),the thicker the endometrial lining on the day of transfer(OR=1.150,95%CI:1.092-1.212)and it could increase the probability of clinical pregnancy.However,for women over 40 years of age(OR=0.551,95%CI:0.437-0.694)and secondary infertility(OR=0.704,95%CI:0.552-0.896),the probability of clinical pregnancy would be reduced;ROC curve analysis results showed that the AUC for predicting clinical pregnancy occurrence in the training set and validation set of the predictive model were 0.723(95%CI:0.699-0.748)and 0.726(95%CI:0.689-0.764),respectively,with cutoff values of 0.262 and 0.260 and the model fit was good(P>0.05).Conclusion Female age,AMH level,type of infertility,number of high-quality embryos(cleavage embryos,blastocysts)transferred,and endometrial thickness on the day of transfer are important factors affecting FET cycles in advanced maternal age women.The constructed prediction model based on these factors has a certain predictive ability for clinical pregnancy.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of low-volume high-intensity interval training(LV-HIIT)protocols defined by the W'Balance(W'BAL)model in achieving maximal activation of both anaerobic and aerobic energy systems.Methods Twenty-eight national-level athletes(age:20±1 years old;height:174±9 cm;weight:65.1±9.4 kg)completed an incremental exercise test,followed by six supra-critical power(supra-CP)and five sub-CP constant-load tests to determine VO2max,maximal accumulated oxygen deficit(MAOD),critical power(CP),and W prime(W').They then performed three randomly ordered LV-HIIT protocols(each of 4-minute total duration),with a 10-second inter-val for passive recovery between bouts.The protocols consisted of 10s(HIIT10/10),20s(HIIT20/10),and 30 s(HIIT30/10).Exercise intensities were individually prescribed using the W'BAL model.Accu-mulated oxygen deficit(AOD)and net AOD(NAOD)were calculated for each protocol.Results Final 10-s oxygen uptake(VO2)reached 77%,88%,and 89%of VO2max in HIIT10/10,HIIT20/10,and HIIT30/10,respectively(P<0.05).VO2 in HIIT10/10 was significantly lower than in HIIT20/10 and HIIT30/10(P<0.05),with no significant difference between the latter two(P>0.05).AOD did not differ significantly from MAOD among the three protocols(P>0.05),whereas NAOD was significantly lower than MAOD in all cases(P<0.05).Additionally,NAOD in HIIT10/10 was significantly lower than in HIIT20/10 and HI-IT30/10(P<0.05),with no significant difference between the latter two(P>0.05).Conclusion The HIIT20/10 and HIIT30/10 intensity established by the W'BAL model can substantially elicit maximal activation of both anaerobic and aerobic energy systems.While the W'BAL model demonstrates potential for set-ting exercise intensities in LV-HIIT,future studies are necessary to develop specific W'recovery rate models for targeted populations and to refine CP models that are better suited for intermittent exercises.

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.

Objective:To investigate the effect of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) on the permeability of blood labyrinth barrier in C57BL/6J male mice and its possible mechanism.Methods:As for the design of animal experiment, twenty male C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into control group and cisplatin group with 10 mice in each group by software method. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with normal saline every day, and the cisplatin group was intraperitoneally injected with 4 mg/kg cisplatin for 4 consecutive days. After administration, auditory brainstem response (ABR) was used to detect hearing changes in mice. HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of mouse cochlea vasculature. The expression of TNF-α was detected by immunohistochemistry and ELISA. The permeability of the blood labyrinth barrier was observed by Evans blue staining. With respect to the design of cell experiment, primarily cultured cochlea pericytes (PC) and endothelial cells (EC) were divided into EC group, EC+TNF-α group, EC+PC group, EC+PC+TNF-α group, EC+PC+TNF-α+SB-3CT (MMP-9/MMP-2 secretion inhibitor) group, PC group, PC+TNF-α group, PC+TNF-α+LY294002 (PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitor) group, PC+LY294002 group. The protein expressions of ZO-1, VE-cadherin, MMP-9, MMP-2, PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, and p-AKT were detected by Western blot. TEER and FITC-dextran penetration experiment were used to detect EC resistance and monolayer EC permeability, respectively. The data were statistically analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8 software.Results:In animal experiment, compared with control group, the ABR response threshold of mice in cisplatin group was increased ( P<0.01). The vaccine ular structure of the cochlea was disordered red, wrinkled and vacuole increased. The extravasation of vascular red fluorescent dye increased ( P<0.05), and also, levels of serum TNF-α and cochlear veins increased ( P<0.01). In cell experiment, by treatment of EC with different concentrations of cisplatin, 20 μmol cisplatin led to the highest expression of TNF-α ( P<0.01). The expression of TNF-α was the highest after 3 h intervention in EC ( P<0.05). Compared with those in EC+PC group, the resistance value of EC was decreased, the permeability of monolayers EC was increased, the expression of ZO 1 and VE cadherin proteins was decreased, and however, the resistance value was increased and the permeability of EC was decreased after the intervention of SB-3CT in EC+PC+TNF-α group. The expressions of ZO-1 and VE-cadherin proteins were increased ( P<0.05). The expression of MMP-9 increased after TNF-α intervention ( P<0.05), the expression of MMP-2 had no significant change, and the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT were increased ( P<0.05). The expression of MMP-9 decreased in PC+TNF-α+LY294002 group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The hearing loss of C57BL/6J male mice induced by cisplatin may be related to the increased release of TNF-α from the blood labyrinth barrier EC in the cochlear stria vascularis, and the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by TNF-α in PC, which increases the secretion of MMP-9 from PC, ultimately leads to the increased permeability of the blood labyrinth barrier.

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.

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.
