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.

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.

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 analyze the trabecular bone score (TBS) and its association with muscle health in the postmenopausal population.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 214 postmenopausal individuals who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry testing at the Beijing Research Institute of Sports Science between January and December 2023 were consecutively included. The participants were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of osteoporosis (OP): 62 cases in the OP group and 152 cases in the non-OP group. All subjects completed body composition assessments and scans of bilateral hip and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD)(All the BMD in this study were areal BMD). Demographic data, including age, age at menarche, age at menopause, and fracture history, were also collected. TBS was calculated using the TBS iNsight software. Muscle health indicators included upper limb, lower limb, trunk, and total muscle mass, lean body mass, appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), and grip strength. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between TBS and muscle health indicators, as well as between TBS and the BMD of lumbar spine (L 1-4). Further, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the independent association between TBS and muscle health indicators. Results:TBS, lean body mass, ASMI, grip strength, and muscle mass of the upper limb, lower limb, trunk, whole body in the OP group were all lower than those in the non-OP group [(1.27±0.07) vs (1.35±0.07) score, (36.64±3.45) vs (39.14±3.62) kg, (6.16±0.56) vs (6.44±0.63) kg/m2, (23.87±3.31) vs (25.34±4.33) kg, (3.54±0.47) vs (3.78±0.47) kg, (11.70±1.33) vs (12.68±1.49) kg, (16.57±1.68) vs (17.50±1.69) kg, and (34.91±3.33) vs (37.13±3.47) kg] (all P<0.05). Pearson analysis showed that TBS was positively correlated with lean body mass, ASMI, grip strength, and muscle mass of the upper limb, lower limb, whole body (all P<0.05). TBS was negatively correlated with age ( P<0.01). TBS was positively correlated with the BMD of lumbar spine (L 1-4) ( r=0.660, P<0.01). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that ASMI was positively correlated with TBS ( β=0.284, P<0.01). Conclusion:In the postmenopausal population, individuals with OP have lower TBS. Furthermore, TBS is closely associated with muscle health.

Alpinia officinarum Hance of the Chinese traditional herb for the treatment of emesis,abdominal pain and diarrhea has been used to counteract gastric disease induced by indomethacin in rats without obvious side effects.However,the role of herb-drug interaction between indomethacin and A.officinarum based on pharmacokinetic,tissue distribution and excretion still remains unknown.In this study,an ultra-fast liquid-tandem mass spectrometry(UFLC-MS/MS)method was developed for simultaneous determina-tion of indomethacin and its three metabolites,O-desmethylindomethacin(ODI),deschlor-obenzoylindomethacin(NDI)and indomethacin acyl-β-D-glucuronide(IDAβG)by oral administration of indomethacin solution with and without the ethanolic extract of A.officinarum and applied to comparative pharmacokinetic,tissue distribution and excretion studies.Our results clarified that oral administration of A.officinarum produced significant alterations in the pharmacokinetic parameters of indomethacin.And the pharmacokinetic interaction between indomethacin and A.officinarum reduced the systemic exposure of indomethacin and increased its elimination.Tissue distribution results demonstrated that co-administration of A.Officinarum could not reduce the accumulation of indo-methacin in the target tissue of the stomach,but could accelerate the excretions of indomethacin and its three metabolites including ODI,NDI and IDAβG in the bile and feces of rats in the excretion study.Therefore,A.Officinarum might have a gastrointestinal protective effect through the interaction role with indomethacin based on the pharmacokinetics and excretion in rats.

Objective: The aging model of guinea pigs induced by D-galactose was set up to investigate the changes of BK_Ca expression and function on cochlear pericytes and their relationship with age-related hearing loss. Methods: Thirty healthy 8-week-old guinea pigs were randomly divided into three groups, with 10 in each group: D-galactose aging model group, subcutaneous injection of D-galactose (500 mg/kg) daily for 6 weeks; saline control group, the same amount of saline was injected into the neck of the aging model group for 6 weeks; the blank control group, no treatment was performed. The threshold of auditory brainstem response (ABR) was detected. The content of BK_Ca in the perivascular cells of the guinea pig cochlear cells was detected by immunofluorescence technique. The changes of peripheral current density and BK_Ca current were detected by patch clamp technique. The data were analyzed by GraphPad Prism software. Results: Compared with the saline group and the control group, the ABR threshold and the amplitude of the wave I were significantly decreased in the aging model group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of BK_Ca in the vascular pericytes of guinea pigs in the aging model group was significantly reduced (1.00±0.08 vs 0.27±0.03,the difference was statistically significant P<0.01), and the cell current density and BK_Ca net current value were also significantly reduced with statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusions D-galactose can successfully induce guinea pig aging model, in which BK_Ca expression decreases and net current value decreases in pericytes of cochlear striavascularis, and changes in BK_Ca expression and function may be related to age-related hearing loss.

Objective To observe the expression of PAR2 and TMEM16A in the model of chronic constriction injury (CCI) in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons,and to explore the role of it in the neuropathic pain.Methods Rats were divided into Sham operation group (Sham) and CCI group.Both groups were observed respectively to determine thermal withdrawal latency (TWL).The expression of PAR2 and TMEM16A in the dorsal root ganglion of the rat was analyzed using Western blot and immunofluorescence.Results The difference in preoperative TWL between CCI group and Sham group rats was not statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).TWL was signifi cantly lower at all other time points after operation (P ＜ 0.01).Immunofluorescence results showed that PAR2 and TMEM16A coexisted in rat DRG neurons.Western blot results showed that,compared with Sham group,CCI group PAR2 and TMEM16A protein expression significantly increased after 7 d and 14 d (P ＜ 0.01),and the PAR2 and TMEM16A protein expression on 14 d is higher than that of 7 d (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Expression level of PAR2 and TMEM16A in CCI group was significantly higher than those in Sham group.The expression level of these proteins may be the cause of rat model of neuropathic pain.

Objective To investigate treatment and prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma of the extremities.Methods A total of 311 patients with osteosarcoma of the extremities,who had undergone treatment in our institute from 1998 to 2008,were enrolled in this retrospective study.Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox regression model were used to analyze the correlation between survival rate and variables including patients' demographics,chemotherapy,surgery,complications,and tumor metastasis.Results Among 311 patients,there were 206 males and 105 females,aged from 5 to 56 years (average,18.6 years).A total of 282 patients underwent aggressive or radical surgery,including 149 cases of limb salvage surgery and 133 cases of amputation surgery.One hundred and five patients underwent standard chemotherapy and 206 patients underwent non-standard chemotherapy.The 5-year survival rate was 57.4％ in patients treated with standard chemotherapy,36.3％ in patients treated with non-standard chemotherapy,16.8％ in patients with lung metastasis,50.7％ in patients without lung metastasis,56.6％ in patients who underwent limb salvage surgery,31.8％ in patients who underwent amputation surgery,44.6％ in patients with Enneking stage Ⅱ B and 33.1％ in patients with Enneking stage Ⅲ.For patients treated by amputation surgery,because non-standard chemotherapy which was performed in most of them and other confounding factors,the 5-year survival rate of them was lower.The Cox regression analysis showed that lung metastasis and non-standard chemotherapy were associated with inferior outcomes.Conclusion Neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with aggressive or radical surgery could cure about 60％ of patients with osteosarcoma of the extremities.Lung metastasis and non-standard chemotherapy are risk factors that severely affect prognosis.
