Lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality among malignant tumors in China.Persistent subsolid nodules(SSNs)are closely associated with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma.Artificial intelligence(AI),as an emerging technology,is capable of performing in-depth analysis of large-scale imaging data through autonomous learning and possesses the ability to predict outcomes from new data,demonstrating great potential and application prospects in the assessment of SSNs.AI can not only effectively assist radiologists in diagnosis and treatment,but also improve work efficiency while reducing misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rates.This review summarizes the recent applications and research progress of AI in the assessment of SSNs,to provide new insights for the diagnosis and treatment of SSNs.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of valve-in-valve transcatheter mitral valve replacement(ViV-TMVR)in patients with bioprosthetic valve degeneration who are at high surgical risk.Methods This study is a multi-center,retrospective cohort analysis of 20 consecutive patients who underwent transseptal ViV-TMVR using the Edwards SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve(THV).The primary endpoints include technical success and procedural success,both defined according to the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium(MVARC)criteria,as well as mortality and functional change assessed based on New York Heart Association(NYHA)classification at 30-days and six months post-procedure.Clinical follow-up assessments are conducted at 30-days and six months.Results From February 2021 to October 2022,a total of 20 patients with symptoms of bioprosthetic valve degeneration were enrolled across nine sites in China.The patients had a mean age of(73.5±5.5)years,with 85.0％being females and 70.0％classified as NYHA class Ⅲ/Ⅳ.The study achieved a 100.0％technical success rate and a 90.0％procedural success rate finally.All patients remained alive during the 30-day follow-up period.However,six months post-intervention,two patients(10.0％)were re-hospitalized due to heart failure,and sadly,one of them(5.0％)died.None of the patients reported any adverse events related to ViV-TMVR during the follow-up period.Notably,there was a significant improvement in NYHA class compared to baseline(P=0.0004)at six-month follow-ups.Conclusions The transseptal ViV-TMVR technique proved to be highly successful and was associated with significant improvement in NYHA class function.These findings strongly suggest that it serves as a safe and efficient treatment alternative for high-risk patients suffering from bioprosthetic valve degeneration.

Aim To investigate the effect of circRNF13 on oxaliplatin resistance in colorectal cancer cells and its related mechanism.Methods Cell transfection was used to overexpress circRNF13 in oxaliplatin-sensi-tive colorectal cancer cells SW620 or to inhibit cir-cRNF13 expression in oxaliplatin-resistant colorectal cancer cells SW620/OXA.Real-time quantitative fluo-rescent PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the ex-pression levels of circRNF13,miR-16-5p,and mir-324-5p.Cell Count Kit 8(CCK-8)was used to meas-ure cell viability.Clonal formation experiments were used to measure clonal formation number.Western blot was used to detect CyclinD1,PCNA,Bax,Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression level.Flow cy-tometry and in situ end labeling(TUNEL)were used to detect apoptosis.Dual luciferase assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between circRNF13 and miR-16-5p and mir-324-5p.Results The expression level of circRNF13 in SW620/OXA cells was signifi-cantly higher than that in SW620 cells,while the ex-pression levels of miR-16-5p and miR-324-5p were sig-nificantly lower than those in SW620 cells(P＜0.05).Overexpression of circRNF13 significantly in-creased the IC50 of oxaliplatin against SW620 cells,and inhibition of circRNF13 expression significantly decreased the IC50 of oxaliplatin against SW620/OXA cells.Overexpression of circRNF13 significantly in-creased cell viability,clonal formation number,Cy-clinD1,PCNA and Bcl-2 levels of oxaliplatin treated SW620 cells,while significantly decreased apoptosis rate,apoptosis index,Bax and cleaved caspase-3 lev-els(P＜0.05).Inhibition of circRNF13 expression significantly decreased the cell viability,clonal forma-tion number,CyclinD1,PCNA and Bcl-2 levels of ox-aliplatin treated SW620/OXA cells,while significantly increased the apoptosis rate,apoptosis index,Bax and cleaved caspase-3 levels(P＜0.05).circRNF13 tar-geted inhibition of the expression of miR-16-5p and mir-324-5p.Conclusions circRNF13 can increase oxaliplatin resistance in colorectal cancer cells,and the mechanism may be related to the targeted inhibition of circRNF13 on the expression of miR-16-5p,mir-324-5p and other miRNAs.

Bone defects caused by different causes such as trauma, severe bone infection and other factors are common in clinic and difficult to treat. Usually, bone substitutes are required for repair. Current bone grafting materials used clinically include autologous bones, allogeneic bones, xenografts, and synthetic materials, etc. Other than autologous bones, the major hurdles of rest bone grafts have various degrees of poor biological activity and lack of active ingredients to provide osteogenic impetus. Bone marrow contains various components such as stem cells and bioactive factors, which are contributive to osteogenesis. In response, the technique of bone marrow enrichment, based on the efficient utilization of components within bone marrow, has been risen, aiming to extract osteogenic cells and factors from bone marrow of patients and incorporate them into 3D scaffolds for fabricating bone grafts with high osteoinductivity. However, the scientific guidance and application specification are lacked with regard to the clinical scope, approach, safety and effectiveness. In this context, under the organization of Chinese Orthopedic Association, the Expert consensus for the clinical application of autologous bone marrow enrichment technique for bone repair ( version 2023) is formulated based on the evidence-based medicine. The consensus covers the topics of the characteristics, range of application, safety and application notes of the technique of autologous bone marrow enrichment and proposes corresponding recommendations, hoping to provide better guidance for clinical practice of the technique.
