Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has become an indispensable component of the modern care continuum for lung cancer. Substantial evidence confirms its definitive value in improving perioperative outcomes, mitigating treatment-related side effects, and enhancing quality of life in patients with advanced disease. However, a significant "implementation gap" exists between its proven clinical benefits and widespread application, primarily characterized by the lack of standardized protocols, uncertainty in optimal timing, and low patient adherence. Bridging this gap requires a dual-driven approach: harnessing technological innovations such as telerehabilitation, wearable devices, and artificial intelligence to enhance accessibility and personalization, alongside optimizing care models through multidisciplinary team collaboration. This review systematically analyzes the evidence, implementation barriers, and innovative pathways for PR in lung cancer care, aiming to catalyze its transition from an ancillary option to a core standard of care, and envisions a new paradigm of personalized PR that is patient-centered, data-driven, and technologically integrated.

Objective To comprehensively investigate the levels of exposure and distribution characteristics of trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water in Guangzhou City, and evaluate the health risks of different groups of children, adolescents and adults, and to provide data and evidence for protecting human health and promoting risk control of drinking water. Methods According to the technical requirements of the "Standards for Drinking Water Quality Testing Methods" (GB/T 5750-2023), the concentration of THMs, including trichloromethane (TCM), bromodichloromethane (BDCM), dibromochloromethane (DBCM), and tribromomethane (TBM) in drinking water in Guangzhou City from 2023-2024 were detected. The health risk model recommended by USEPA was used for risk assessment.Results TCM, BDCM and DBCM were detected in the factory water and terminal water, with TCM contributing the most. There was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) between the wet and dry seasons, and the concentration of TCM in the wet season was higher than that in the dry season. Among the multiple exposure factors, the amount of exposure through drinking water intake was much greater than that through skin absorption. The carcinogenic risk index of THMs for children, adolescents, and adults was 22.0×10-6, 12.2×10-6, and 11.4×10-6, respectively, while the non-carcinogenic risk was less than 1. Conclusion The exposure risks of THMs in children, adolescents, and adults is within an acceptable range, but monitoring needs to be strengthened, with a particular focus on children.

Objective:
To develop a prediction model for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) risk among the elderly, so as to provide a tool for MCI early screening.
Methods :
From July 2022 to September 2024, a multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method was used to recruit permanent residents aged ≥65 years from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as study participants. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, nutritional status, body composition indices, bone mineral density, and handgrip strength were collected through questionnaires and physical examinations. Sarcopenia was defined based on appendicular skeletal muscle index and handgrip strength. MCI was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination, with adjustments for educational level. Participants were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in a 7∶3 ratio. LASSO regression and multivariable logistic regression models were employed to screen for predictors and construct an MCI risk prediction model. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA).
Results:
A total of 1 641 participants were surveyed, including 755 males (46.01%) and 886 females (53.99%). The majority of participants were aged 65-<75 years, comprising 1 154 individuals (70.32%). MCI was detected in 517 participants, corresponding to a detection rate of 31.51%. Resultsfrom LASSO regression and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that residence (rural, OR = 2.323, 95% CI: 1.682-3.210), age (75-<85 years, OR = 1.405, 95% CI: 1.019-1.937; ≥85 years, OR = 3.655, 95% CI: 1.696-7.875), educational level (primary school, OR = 0.341, 95% CI: 0.247-0.472; junior high school, OR = 0.255, 95% CI: 0.160-0.408; high school, OR = 0.286, 95% CI: 0.154-0.531; bachelor's degree or above, OR = 0.120, 95% CI: 0.041-0.351), history of alcohol consumption (yes, OR = 3.216, 95% CI: 2.164-4.779), risk of malnutrition (yes, OR = 1.464, 95% CI: 1.064-2.014), sarcopenia (yes, OR = 3.197, 95% CI: 2.332-4.385), and waist-to-hip ratio (abnormal, OR = 1.540, 95% CI: 1.159-2.048) were identified as predictive factors for MCI among the elderly. In the training set, the area under the ROC curve, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.788, 0.719, and 0.712, respectively. In the validation set, the corresponding values were 0.784, 0.913, and 0.542, respectively. DCA demonstrated that the model provided a higher clinical net benefit for predicting MCI risk when the risk threshold probability ranged from 0.124 to 0.764.
Conclusion
The prediction model developed in this study demonstrates good discriminative ability and clinical utility, indicating its substantial value for predicting the MCI risk among the elderly.

A case of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma was reported. After admission,laparoscopic radical right nephrectomy was performed without postoperative radiotherapy,chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Five months after operation,the tumor recurred,with lung metastasis and tumor thrombus formation in inferior vena cava. Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is extremely rare clinically,with high malignancy,poor prognosis,atypical symptoms,and no specificity in auxiliary examination. CT is the first choice of examination. At present,the diagnosis is mainly by pathological examination and immunohistochemical staining. The treatment of this disease depends mainly on early surgical resection,and it is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Objective:To explore the key components and mechanism of Qufeng Ningfei Powder in treating asthma through qualitative analysis of its blood components, combined with network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques.Methods:The blood components of Qufeng Ningfei Powder were qualitatively analyzed using UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS technology. R language was employed to analyze chip data from the GEO database, obtaining a list of differentially expressed genes. SwissTargetPrediction was utilized to predict the targets of drug components. Asthma-related targets were searched through databases such as OMIM, GeneCards, and TTD. The intersection of drug and disease targets was identified using Venn online analysis tool, constructing a "drug-component-target-disease" network to screen potential core components. A protein-protein interaction network (PPI) of core targets was constructed using STRING platform and Cytoscape software. GO function enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis were conducted using DAVID database to validate potential mechanism. Molecular docking was performed to verify the interaction between key components and core targets.Results:A total of 64 components were identified, from which 53 active components were screened, corresponding to 609 targets. Further searching disease databases revealed 96 target genes related to asthma, with an intersection of 6 genes between drug and asthma differential genes. Core target gene IL6 and its corresponding core compound were determined through network topology analysis. Molecular docking confirmed the binding of the main active components of Qufeng Ningfei Powder with the core target protein IL6.Conclusion:The blood components of Qufeng Ningfei Powder may regulate IL-17 through IL6, counteract airway remodeling, oxidative stress, and airway hyperresponsiveness, and thus treat asthma.
