The spine is the most common site of skeletal metastasis in lung cancer, which frequently leads to severe complications such as pathological fracture and neurological compromise and is associated with poor prognosis. The development and progression of spinal metastasis from lung cancer are linked to the unique local microenvironment and tumor microenvironment (TME) of the vertebral column. During metastatic evolution, the dense vascular network of the spine and a plethora of signaling molecules, together with the complex cellular constituents and their intricate interactions within the TME, all cooperate to facilitate the tumor invasion and colonization of the vertebral compartment. Mechanistic studies delineating the role of the TME in spinal metastasis from lung cancer have markedly expanded, fostering the emergence of innovative therapeutic strategies—including nanomedicines, sono-photodynamic therapy, gene therapy, and combination regimens. These strategies demonstrate remarkably potential for clinical translation and offer new directions for the precision management of spinal metastasis from lung cancer.

Objective: To explore human papillomavirus (HPV) and vaccination related knowledge and vaccination willingness of college students in Guizhou Province and their related factors, so as to provide a basis for formulating targeted intervention strategies. Methods: From May to June 2025, by applying convenience sampling method,4 567 college students were selected from 8 universities in Guizhou Province to conduct a questionnaire survey. Awareness of HPV and vaccination related knowledge, vaccination willingness as well as related factors among college students were also analyzed. The t test and Chi square test were used for comparison between groups, and multifactor Logistic regression was employed to analyze the related factors of HPV vaccination willingness among college students. Results: The HPV and vaccine knowledge score of college students in Guizhou Province was ( 10.50 ±2.09), and the score of girls (10.81±1.82) was higher than that of boys (10.19±2.30) ( t=10.09, P <0.01). The HPV vaccination willingness rate of college students was 65.6%, and the rate was higher in girls than in boys (67.1%,64.1%, χ 2=4.75, P <0.05). Multi factor Logistic regression analysis showed that ethnicity and HPV testing were related factors that affected college students willingness to vaccinate (minority: OR boy =1.23, OR girl =1.35; previous HPV testing: OR boy =0.56, OR girl =0.59); boys willingness to vaccinate was related to the number of sexual partners ( OR =0.60), family history of cancer ( OR =0.65), and sexual behavior related HPV knowledge scores ( OR =0.89), while girls willingness to vaccinate was related to bisexual sexual orientation ( OR =0.59), previous HIV testing ( OR =0.60), and HPV and vaccine basic knowledge scores ( OR =0.86) (all P <0.05). Conclusions College students in Guizhou Province have higher HPV vaccine related knowledge scores and are more willing to vaccinate, and those above are higher in girls than in boys. Health education content should be optimized based on gender differences, and promote the willingness and behavior of HPV vaccination among college students.

OBJECTIVE To formulate Guidelines for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics （ 2026 edition ） in response to the challenges faced by such clinics in China， including uneven development， large discrepancies in service specifications， insufficient patient awareness， and limited medical insurance coverage. METHODS Led by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Professional Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association， the Evidence-based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association， and the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-strait Medical and Health Exchange Association， a total of 19 domestic hospital pharmacy experts were organized. Through a systematic review of national policies and literature research， current practical experience was summarized. Consensus on the contents of the guidelines was reached after in-depth discussions. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS The guidelines covered five sections： definition and connotation of pharmacist-managed clinics， establishment requirements， implementation and management， post competency， and practical research. Firstly， the definition and connotation included three operational forms of pharmacist-managed clinics （independent mode， physician-pharmacist joint mode， and online pharmacist-managed clinic mode） and classified service modes （specialty-specific， drug-specific， and disease-specific pharmacist-managed clinics）. The establishment requirements were further refined， covering system construction （pharmaceutical service management system， quality control and assessment mechanism）， personnel qualifications （professional credentials， continuing education and professional training， etc）， service recipients， as well as service venues and facilities. Subsequently， the implementation and management of pharmacist-managed clinics were proposed， involving service procedures， intervention measures， documentation and records， patient education and follow-up， humanistic care， as well as risk management and quality control. Finally， post competency encompassed the competency requirements for pharmacists providing services in pharmacist-managed clinics， as well as the suggestions on teaching methods； practical research encouraged the conduct of high-quality pharmaceutical practice in the setting of pharmacist-managed clinics. The guidelines provide valuable guidance for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics in China in terms of establishment， management， teaching， and research， fill the guideline gap in this field， and can promote the high-quality development of pharmacist-managed clinics.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between immunoglobulin G （IgG）/immunoglobulin M （IgM） ratio and prognosis in patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma （iuHCC） receiving TTP triple therapy with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization （TACE）， tyrosine kinase inhibitor （TKI）， and programmed cell death protein-1 （PD-1） inhibitors. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 151 iuHCC patients who received TTP triple therapy in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery， Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital， from November 2019 to December 2022， and according to IgG/IgM ratio， they were divided into high IgG/IgM group （IgG/IgM ratio >13.23） and low IgG/IgM group （IgG/IgM ratio ≤13.23）. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used for survival analysis， and the Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the potential influencing factors for overall survival （OS）. ResultsThe 151 patients had a median OS of 26.7 months （95% confidence interval ［CI］： 19.8-not reached） and a median progression-free survival of 12.5 months （95%CI： 10.4 — 15.8）. The objective response rate was 83.4% and the disease control rate was 94.0%. There were no significant differences in baseline data between the high IgG/IgM group and the low IgG/IgM group （all P>0.05）. There was a significant difference in median OS between the high IgG/IgM group and the low IgG/IgM group （20.6 months vs not reached， P=0.016）. In both the high IgG/IgM group and the low IgG/IgM group， salvage hepatectomy was significantly associated with the improvement in OS （χ²=8.297 and 10.307， both P<0.05）. The multivariate analysis showed that high IgG/IgM ratio （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.799， 95%CI： 1.077 — 3.006， P=0.025）， baseline alpha-fetoprotein >400 ng/mL （HR=1.762， 95%CI： 1.017 — 3.050， P=0.043）， and BCLC stage （HR=2.265， 95%CI： 1.212 — 4.232， P=0.010） were independent influencing factors for OS. ConclusionHigh IgG/IgM ratio is associated with a poorer prognosis in iuHCC patients receiving TTP triple therapy， and salvage hepatectomy has a potential value in improving the prognosis of patients with a high IgG/IGM ratio.

Triatoma rubrofasciata is currently the most widely distributed species of Triatoma worldwide, and it is also widespread in southern China. T. rubrofasciata has been proven to transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, and is one of vectors transmitting Chagas disease, which poses a potential risk for transmission of imported Chagas disease in China. Findings from latest studies have shown that T. rubrofasciata naturally infects T. lewisi, T. conorhini, and T. rangeli, which undoubtedly increases significant risks of and challenges to trypanosomiasis control in China. This article briefly describes the species of T. rubrofasciata-transmitted trypanosomes, and summarizes the epidemiological characteristics of trypanosomiasis, so as to provide insights into T. rubrofasciata-transmitted trypanosomiasis surveillance and control, and prevention of trypanosomiasis development and transmission in China.

Objective Focusing on gynecological surgery,we constructed a prediction model for surgical duration by extracting features from unstructured surgical planning texts and integrating multimodal data via artificial intelligence technology.Methods The clinical data of 34 614 patients who underwent gynecologic surgeries at West China Second University Hospital,Sichuan University between January 2022 and October 2024 were collected.An embedding-transformer model was constructed to convert surgical planning texts into a one-dimensional numerical feature,referred to as the step feature.The predictive value of the step feature was assessed by comparing the performance improvements of linear regression,random forest,eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost),support vector regression,K-nearest neighbor regression,and artificial neural network algorithms in two scenarios—with and without the step feature as an input.The out-of-sample prediction accuracy of the models was assessed using mean absolute error(MAE),root mean squared error(RMSE),and R-squared(R2).Furthermore,the model interpretability was examined using SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)values.Results SHAP results showed that the step feature had the highest predictive contribution.Temporal factors in surgical scheduling also influenced gynecological surgery duration.The XGBoost model demonstrated optimal performance on the test set,significantly improving prediction accuracy with a 40.43%increase in R2,while reducing MAE and RMSE by 21.27%and 20.13%,respectively,compared to the baseline model without the step feature.Conclusion The embedding-transformer model developed in this study effectively extracts features from surgical planning texts and enhances the predictive performance of machine learning models.The XGBoost prediction model can assist hospital administrators in implementing more refined management of gynecological surgeries and improving the utilization efficiency of surgical resources.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of temperature gradients on the mortality of sepsis patients and their correlation with fluid input.Methods By means of a prospective observational method,154 patients with sepsis or septic shock admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Nanfang Hospital,Southern Medical University from November 2019 to November 2021 were included as research subjects.They were divided into a survivor group(n=118)and a non-survivor group(n=36)according to whether they survived within 28 days.The core-to-toe temperature gradient(CTTG)and toe-to-room temperature gradient(TRTG)were monitored and calculated immediately upon admission to the intensive care unit(ICU)and 6 hours after admission.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to explore the predictive value of temperature gradients on mortality,and multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to explore the risk factors of 28-day mortality in sepsis patients.The results were verified through survival analysis.Correlation analysis and multivariate analysis of variance were used to explore the correlation between temperature gradients and fluid input,as well as noradrenaline doses.Results Among the 154 patients,118 survived within 28 days(survivor group),and 36 died(non-survivor group).ROC curve and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that a toe-to-room temperature gradient of≤5.35℃within 6 hours after admission was a risk factor for 28-day mortality.Compared with patients with a high toe-to-room temperature gradient(>5.35℃),patients with a low toe-to-room temperature gradient(≤5.35℃)had a 2.74-fold increase in the risk of 28-day mortality(P=0.004,95%CI 1.54,9.12).The CTTG and TRTG upon admission to the ICU and 6 hours after admission were not significantly associated with fluid input or noradrenaline doses(P>0.05).Conclusions A toe-to-room temperature gradient of less than or equal to 5.35℃within 6 hours after ICU admission is a risk factor for 28-day mortality in sepsis patients.The improvement of temperature gradients at different time points is not associated with fluid input.

Objective To discuss the technical advantages of MRI image fusion technology in guiding percutaneous balloon compression(PBC)for trigeminal neuralgia(TN).Methods The clinical data of 13 patients with TN,who received MRI image fusion technology-guided PBC from November 2022 to July 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.The MRI images of the trigeminal nerve obtained one week before surgery were fused with the intraoperative DynaCT images of the skull base so as to simultaneously display the Meckel s cave and foramen ovale,and under the 3-D view the optimal puncture path was determined.The needle was positioned at the entry point of the skin,than the skin was cut open with a sharp surgical blade and the needle was inserted to the foramen ovale area to a predetermined depth.Lateral skull base fluoroscopy and DynaCT scan were used to check that the puncture needle tip was placed into the foramen ovale.Than the puncture needle was replaced by a fine guiding-needle and it was pushed into the Meckel's cave.Under the dual guidance of lateral fluoroscopy and fusion image,the balloon was push forward and was filled with iodine contrast media to compress the trigeminal ganglion within the Meckel's cave.After completion of the treatment,the balloon and puncture needle were removed and manual oppression was applied on the face to achieve hemostasis.Results Immediately after PBC,the pain was relieved in all patients.No permanent or serious complications occurred.One patient had a relapse 3 months after PBC and a second PBC procedure had to be carried out.No obvious pain recurrence was observed in the remaining patients during follow-up period.During the surgery,the mean number of foramen ovale puncturing was(1.31±0.46)times,the mean X-ray exposure time was(8.64±5.66)min,and the mean cumulative dose of X-ray was(570.29±257.15)mGy.After PBC,12 patients(92.31％)developed facial numbness and one patient(7.69％)developed facial pain,all of which were healed after treatment.Conclusion MRI image fusion technology can improve the visualization and accuracy of PBC procedure.It can also reduce the number of puncturing,decrease the radiation exposure dose,and improve the surgical ability of young doctors.Therefore,MRI image fusion technology should be further developed and applied in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the relationships of the expression of serum long non-cod-ing RNA FGD5-AS1(lncRNA FGD5-AS1)and microRNA-133b(miR-133b)with clinicopathologi-cal features and prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer.Methods A total of 85 patients with colorectal cancer were selected and assigned to colorectal cancer group,and postoperative cancer tis-sues and adjacent tissues were obtained.Another 85 healthy individuals who underwent physical ex-aminations were selected as healthy group.The expression levels of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and miR-133b in the serum of the two groups were compared,and the expression levels of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and miR-133b in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of patients were also compared.The correlation be-tween the expression levels of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and miR-133b,as well as their relationships with the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients were analyzed.The influencing factors for the 3-year prog-nosis of patients were screened,and the predictive efficacy of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and miR-133b for the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer was evaluated.Results The expression level of ser-um lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in the colorectalcancer group was higher than that in the healthy group,while the expression level of miR-133b was lower than that in the healthy group(P＜0.05).In colorectal cancer tissues,the expression level of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 was higher than that in adjacent tissues,and the expression level of miR-133b was lower than that in adjacent tissues(P＜0.05).A negative correlation was observed between the expression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and miR-133b in the serum of patients with colorectal cancer(r=-0.402,P＜0.001).The expression levels of se-rum lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and miR-133b in patients were both associated with TNM stage,lymph node metastasis,and depth of tumor invasion(P＜0.05).The 3-year cumulative survival rate of patients with high expression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and low expression of miR-133b was lower than that of patients with low expression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and high expression of miR-133b,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).LncRNA FGD5-AS1,miR-133b,TNM stage,and lymph node metastasis were all independent influencing factors for the 3-year prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer(P＜0.05).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)for the combined prediction of the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer by serum lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and miR-133b was 0.925,which was greater than the AUC for their individual predictions(P＜0.05).Conclusion High expression of serum lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and low expression of miR-133b are observed in patients with colorectal cancer.The expression lev-els of these two molecules are associated with clinicopathological features and poor prognosis,indica-ting their potential predictive value for the prognosis of patients.
