Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common long-term complication following lung surgery. Its high incidence significantly impacts patients’ quality of life and functional recovery, and imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden. This consensus aims to systematically establish a standardized integrated Chinese and Western medicine diagnostic and treatment framework for chronic post-lung surgery pain (CPLSP). Based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical research and multidisciplinary clinical experience, the working group comprehensively elaborates on core issues regarding CPLSP, including its definition, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical assessment, Western medical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, and integrated strategies. The consensus emphasizes a patient-centered approach, adhering to the principles of multimodality, individualization, and stepwise management, highlighting the synergistic advantages of integrating Chinese and Western medicine throughout the entire perioperative management cycle encompassing "perioperative anti-inflammation, acute analgesia, and chronic rehabilitation." Through systematic literature retrieval and evidence integration, a total of 9 core recommendations were established to provide scientifically sound and clinically practical guidance.

Liver diseases cannot be easily detected in the early stage， and although invasive diagnostic methods， such as liver biopsy， are relatively accurate， they tend to have a low degree of acceptance， which greatly limits the improvement in diagnosis and treatment techniques for liver diseases. Therefore， it is of great importance to search for new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. As an emerging biomarker for liquid biopsy， tRNA-derived small RNA （tsRNA） is abnormally expressed in various liver diseases including viral hepatitis， fatty liver disease， liver injury， and liver cancer， and it can affect the development and progression of liver diseases by regulating the biological functions such as gene expression， epigenetic regulation， and protein translation. This article reviews the origin， classification， and biological function of tsRNA， as well as the research advances in tsRNA as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for liver diseases， so as to provide ideas for the early diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of moxibustion at different temperatures on cognitive function and blood glucose levels in patients with cognitive impairment associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: A total of 66 T2DM patients with cognitive impairment were randomly assigned to a high-temperature group (22 cases, 1 case dropped out, 1 case was eliminated), a medium-temperature group (22 cases, 2 cases were eliminated), and a low-temperature group (22 cases, 2 cases were eliminated). All groups received moxibustion at Baihui (GV20), Dazhui (GV14), and Shenting (GV24) based on their existing glycemic control treatment. Moxibustion temperatures were maintained at 44-46 ℃ (high-temperature group), 41-43 ℃ (medium-temperature group), and 38-40 ℃ (low-temperature group), respectively, for 20 min per session, every other day, 3 times a week for 3 months. The Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) score, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score, short-term memory (STM) accuracy and average reaction time, Rey-Osterrieth complex figure (ROCF) score, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were assessed before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, MMSE scores in all three groups were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). In the high-temperature group, the total MoCA score and the scores of visuospatial and executive function, memory and delayed recall, attention, naming, language, and abstraction were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05); the scores of ROCF copy, immediate recall, and delayed recall were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05); the HbA1c level was lower than that before treatment (P<0.05). In the medium-temperature group, the total MoCA score and the scores of memory and delayed recall, attention, and language were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). STM accuracy was higher than before treatment (P<0.05), and STM average reaction time was shorter than before treatment (P<0.05) in both the high-temperature and medium-temperature groups. After treatment, the total MoCA score and the scores of visuospatial and executive function, memory and delayed recall, attention, and language in the high-temperature group were higher than those in the medium- and low-temperature groups (P<0.05); MMSE score, STM accuracy, and ROCF immediate recall and delayed recall scores were higher than those in the medium- and low-temperature groups (P<0.05); STM average reaction time was shorter than that in the medium- and low-temperature groups (P<0.05); HbA1c level was lower than that in the low-temperature group (P<0.05). The total MoCA score, attention score, and MMSE score in the medium-temperature group were higher than those in the low-temperature group (P<0.05), and STM average reaction time was shorter than that in the low-temperature group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in FPG within or between the three groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). The total effective rates were 75.0% (15/20) in the high-temperature group, 50.0% (10/20) in the medium-temperature group, and 15.0% (3/20) in the low-temperature group; the total effective rate in the high-temperature group was significantly higher than that in the low-temperature group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Moxibustion at different temperatures has a dose-effect relationship in treating cognitive impairment in T2DM patients. A temperature range of 44-46 ℃ is more effective in improving cognitive function and stabilizing average blood glucose levels over 2-3 months.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of monocyte human leukocyte antigen-DR(mHLA-DR),neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),and CD4+T lymphocytes in sepsis.Methods A total of 29 patients with sepsis who were admitted to the department of critical care medicine of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from December 2023 to September 2024 were collected as the study subjects,and the patients were divided into survival group(20 cases)and death group(9 cases)according to the 28-day prognosis.Baseline data were collected from patients at the time of admission[including gender,age,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score,sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA),white blood cell count(WBC),NLR,hemoglobin(Hb),platelet count(PLT),C-reactive protein(CRP),total protein(TP),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),creatinine(Cr),CD4+T lymphocyte count]and the mHLA-DR expression rate on the 1st,3rd,and 7th days of admission,and the difference between the mHLA-DR expression rate on the 3rd,7th and 1st days of admission and the 1st day of admission was calculated,which was recorded as ΔH3 and ΔH7.The receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)was used to evaluate the predictive value of mHLA-DR expression,NLR,CD4+T lymphocyte count,SOFA score and APACHEⅡscore on the 28-day mortality risk of sepsis.Results Compared with the survival group,the APACHEⅡscore,SOFA score and NLR in the death group were significantly increased,and the ΔH7 and CD4+T lymphocyte counts were significantly decreased(all P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that ΔH7,NLR,CD4+T lymphocyte count,SOFA score and APACHEⅡscore were predictive of the 28-day prognosis of sepsis patients,and area under the curve(AUC)and 95%confidence interval(95%CI)were 0.817(0.635-0.999),0.789(0.611-0.966),0.786(0.588-0.985),and 0.853(0.685-1.000),0.844(0.659-1.000),all P<0.05.The combined detection of ΔH7 combined with NLR,ΔH7 combined with CD4+T lymphocytes,NLR combined with CD4+T lymphocytes,and ΔH7,NLR,and CD4+T lymphocytes also had predictive value for the 28-day prognosis of sepsis patients,with AUC and 95%CI of 0.867(0.735-0.998),0.878(0.752-1.000),0.883(0.760-1.000),and 0.928(0.837-1.000),respectively,all P<0.05.Conclusion The NLR and CD4+T lymphocyte count on the first day of admission to the hospital could predict the prognosis of sepsis patients,and the dynamic monitoring of mHLA-DR expression level in sepsis patients could also predict the prognosis of sepsis patients,but a single measurement of mHLA-DR expression level within 7 days was meaningless.In terms of single indicators,ΔH7 had the best predictor of the prognosis of sepsis patients among the 3 indicators of ΔH7,NLR and CD4+T lymphocyte count,and the combined detection of the 3 indicators was more advantageous in the prognosis of sepsis patients.

Objective To analyze the correlation between lesion volume,lesion mass,and maximum lesion diameter in the assessment of advanced hepatocarcinoma with lung metastasis,and to evaluate the application value of total volume response and total mass response of lung metastatic lesions in efficacy assessment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the CT imaging data of 20 patients clinically confirmed with hepatocarcinoma and lung metastases,followed by subsequent follow-up to monitor their survival outcomes.Volume measurement software was used to measure the volume of lesions before and after treatment.We recored lesion diameter,volume measurements and CT values,calculated the mass of the lesions.The correlation between lesion volume,mass and diameter was analyzed,as well as the correlation between the change rates of volume,mass and lesion diameter.Additionally,the total volume and total mass of all lesions were calculated.The correlation between the change rates of total volume/total mass and the change rate of pulmonary lesion diameter under the RECIST 1.1 criteria,as well as the correlation with changes in patients'tumor markers,were analyzed.Furthermore,the overall volume response and overall mass response of lesions were evaluated based on changes in total volume and total mass,and their consistencies with the RECIST 1.1 criteria for efficacy evaluation were analyzed.Finally,univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to explore the association between these variables and patient survival outcomes.Results There was strong correlation between lesion volume,mass and tumor diameter(r=0.771,0.775),between the rate of change in mass and the rate of change in lesion diameter(r=0.846),and between the rates of change in total volume/total mass and the rate of change in pulmonary lesion diameter under the RECIST 1.1 criteria(r=0.800,0.896).The correlation between the rates of change in total volume/total mass and patients'tumor markers was not statistically significant.There was moderate correlation between the rate of change in volume and the rate of change in lesion diameter(r=0.692).The evaluation results of total volume response and total mass response for pulmonary lesions in advanced hepatocarcinoma with lung metastasis were generally consistent with the RECIST 1.1 criteria(Kappa=0.486,0.426).Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed that total lesion volume(P=0.047)and total lesion mass(P=0.049)were independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes.Conclusion Lesion volume,mass,and diameter,as well as their respective change rates,were found to be interrelated.Furthermore,total lesion volume and total lesion mass were identified as independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes.The total volume response and total mass response are promising evaluation methods in evaluating the efficacy of lung metastasis of hepatocarcinoma,which are different from the RECIST 1.1 evaluation criteria.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of peripheral retinal defocus distribution in adult myopia and its relationship with refractive error.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.A total of 270 myopic patients aged 18 to 46 years were enrolled at Tianjin Eye Hospital from January to March 2024.Data from the right eye were included in the analysis.Spherical power and cylindrical power were obtained using an autorefractor and the spherical equivalent (SE) was calculated.Corneal curvature parameters including flap keratometry (K1), steep keratometry (K2), and average keratometry (Km) were measured using the Pentacam anterior segment imaging analyzer.Central corneal thickness (CCT) and axial length (AL) were measured using the IOLMaster optical biometer.Peripheral defocus within a 53° area centered on the fovea was assessed using multispectral refractive topography.Based on the peripheral defocus data, the distribution patterns were classified into four types: hemilateral upturn type, saddle type, crater type, and relatively flat type.Characteristics of different tpes and their correlation with diopter were analyzed.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Tianjin Eye Hospital (No.KY-2024020).All participants voluntarily participated and signed the informed consent form.Results:Of the different types of peripheral retinal defocus, 186 eyes (68.63%) were hemilateral upturn type, 45 eyes (16.61%) were crater type, 36 eyes (13.28%) were relatively flat type, and 3 eyes (1.11%) were saddle type.The crater type exhibited the lowest mean SE of (-6.18±1.50)D, while the relatively flat type showed the highest mean SE of (-3.88±0.87)D.There were significant differences in SE and AL among different peripheral defocus types ( F=15.469, 17.928, 3.431; all P<0.05).The hemilateral upturn type had significantly lower SE and spherical diopter than the relatively flat type, and crater type had significantly lower SE and spherical diopter compared to the hemilateral upturn type and relatively flat type significantly, and the hemilateral upturn type had longer AL than the relatively flat type (all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in CCT, K1, K2, or Km among different peripheral defocus types ( F=0.861, 1.761, 2.603, 2.248; all P>0.05).Spherical power was weakly negatively correlated with superior, inferior, and temporal peripheral defocus ( r=-0.269, P<0.001; r=-0.176, P<0.01; r=-0.292, P<0.001).Age was positively correlated with superior and temporal peripheral defocus ( rs=0.213, P<0.001; rs=0.181, P=0.003), and negatively correlated with nasal peripheral defocus ( rs=-0.138, P=0.023). Conclusions:Among adult peripheral defocus patterns, the hemilateral upturn type is predominant.The crater type has the lowest mean spherical equivalent, while the relatively flat type has the highest.There are negative correlations between spherical power and the superior, inferior, and temporal peripheral defocus.
