BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is currently the most prevalent malignancy and the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Although the early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents a relatively good prognosis, a considerable number of lung cancer cases are still detected and diagnosed at locally advanced or late stages. Surgical treatment combined with perioperative multimodality treatment is the mainstay of treatment for locally advanced NSCLC and has been shown to improve patient survival. Following the standard methods of neoadjuvant therapy, perioperative management, postoperative adjuvant therapy, and other therapeutic strategies are important for improving patients' prognosis and quality of life. However, controversies remain over the perioperative management of NSCLC and presently consensus and standardized guidelines are lacking for addressing critical clinical issues in multimodality treatment. METHODS: The working group consisted of 125 multidisciplinary experts from thoracic surgery, medical oncology, radiotherapy, epidemiology, and psychology. This guideline was developed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. The clinical questions were collected and selected based on preliminary open-ended questionnaires and subsequent discussions during the Guideline Working Group meetings. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for available evidence. The GRADE system was used to evaluate the quality of evidence and grade the strengths of recommendations. Finally, the recommendations were developed through a structured consensus-building process. RESULTS: The Guideline Development Group initially collected a total of 62 important clinical questions. After a series of consensus-building conferences, 24 clinical questions were identified and corresponding recommendations were ultimately developed, focusing on neoadjuvant therapy, perioperative management, adjuvant therapy, postoperative psychological rehabilitation, prognosis assement, and follow-up protocols for NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS This guideline puts forward reasonable recommendations focusing on neoadjuvant therapy, perioperative management, adjuvant therapy, postoperative psychological rehabilitation, prognosis assessment, and follow-up protocol of NSCLC. It standardizes perioperative multimodality treatment and provides guidance for clinical practice among thoracic surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiotherapists, aiming to reduce postoperative recurrence, improve patient survival, accelerate recovery, and minimize postoperative complications such as atelectasis.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is crucial for regulating blood pressure and maintaining fluid balance, while clock genes are essential for sustaining biological rhythms and regulating metabolism. There exists a complex interplay between RAAS and clock genes that may significantly contribute to the development of various cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Although current literature has identified correlations between these two systems, the specific mechanisms of their interaction remain unclear. Moreover, the interaction patterns under different physiological and pathological conditions need further investigation. This review summarizes the synergistic roles of the RAAS and clock genes in cardiovascular diseases, explores their molecular mechanisms and pathophysiological connections, discusses the application of chronotherapy, and highlights potential future research directions, aiming to provide novel insights for the prevention and treatment of related diseases.

Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of hypofractionated radiotherapy(HFRT)combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)for metachronous hepatic oligometastasis from nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).Methods The clinical data of patients with metachronous hepatic oligometastasis from NPC,who received HFRT combined with TACE treatment at the Sichuan Provincial Cancer Hospital of China from January 2012 to October 2022,were retrospectively analyzed.The 3-year and 5-year overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),local recurrence-free survival(LRFS),no extrahepatic distant metastasis survival(EMFS),and treatment-related adverse reactions were analyzed.Results A total of 55 patients were enrolled in this study,including 36 males and 19 females,the median age at the time of occurring metachronous hepatic oligometastasis was 44(27-75)years.The 3-year and 5-year OS,PFS,LRFS,EMFS were 67.8％and 40.0％,55.8％and 30.0％,72.7％and 56.5％,63.6％and 56.5％,respectively.The subgroup analysis indicated that the treatment course of TACE ≥3 cycles could significantly improve the PFS of patients with oligometastasis.HFRT combined with TACE treatment was well tolerated by all patients,and the incidence of Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳadverse reactions was quite low.Conclusion For the treatment of metachronous hepatic oligometastasis from NPC,HFRT combined with TACE is clinically effective,besides,the patients can well tolerate the therapeutic scheme.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of the sixth generation CyberKnife (M6) in treating patients with brain metastases, and analyze clinical characteristics and dosimetric factors.Methods:Clinical data of patients with brain metastases who received CyberKnife treatment at Sichuan Cancer Hospital from April 2023 to March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with CyberKnife with 6 MV X-ray. According to the maximum diameter of brain metastases, the radiation prescription dose of brain metastases was adjusted. The tumor remission, recurrence, 6-month and 1-year overall survival (OS), local control (LC) of intracranial target lesions, progression-free survival (PFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) of intracranial brain metastases and adverse reactions were evaluated. According to the median biological dose, the survival difference between the groups was compared. Survival analysis was conducted by Kaplan-Meier method. Survival differences among different groups were analyzed by log-rank test.Results:A total of 63 eligible patients with brain metastases were enrolled, with a median age of 59 years (rang: 36-80 years). Among them, 47 patients were diagnosed with primary tumors originating from the lungs, 16 patients with primary tumors originating from other organs; 44 patients with single brain metastases, and 19 patients with 2-3 lesions, respectively. The median biological dose was 67.2 Gy (rang: 47.4-86.4 Gy), and the median single dose was 8 Gy/F (rang: 4-24 Gy/F). The follow-up was conducted until July 15, 2024. The median follow-up time for the entire group was 9 months (rang: 2-15 months). Among the 87 target lesions treated with CyberKnife, 11 patients corresponding to 14 target lesions experienced local recurrence. And the 6-month and 1-year LC rates were 92.5% and 70.9%, respectively. Ten patients corresponding to 16 target lesions died. And the 6-month and 1-year OS rates were 92.7% and 74.8%, respectively. Thirty-five patients corresponding to 50 target lesions experienced disease progression. And the 6-month and 1-year PFS rates were 64.3% and 25.5%, respectively. Thirty-three patients corresponding to 48 target lesions showed distant metastasis outside the target lesions, with a 6-month DMFS of 67.0% and a 1-year DMFS of 33.9%. Group comparison showed that 43 target lesions in the group receiving ≤67.2 Gy irradiation and 44 in the group receiving >67.2 Gy irradiation. The 6-month LC, OS, PFS, and DMFS rates between two groups were 89.8% vs. 97.7% ( P=0.127), 89.8% vs. 95.4% ( P=0.305), 65.4% vs. 68.5% ( P=0.514), 65.4% vs. 68.5% ( P=0.516), respectively. The 1-year LC, OS, PFS, and DMFS rates between two groups were 54.1% vs. 89.5% ( P=0.003), 67.3% vs. 82.9% ( P=0.219), 19.2% vs. 32.7% ( P=0.370) and 23.3% vs. 33.0% ( P=0.533). During the follow-up, only 2 patients (3.2%) were found to have grade 1-2 radiation-induced brain injury (asymptomatic brain injury) by MRI examination, and there were no other radiotherapy related adverse reactions. Conclusions:CyberKnife therapy is clinically effective for brain metastases, with mild adverse reactions. Increasing the tumor irradiation dose can improve local tumor control and is expected to further improve the OS of patients.

Pulmonary nodules(PNs),a critical imaging indicator for early lung cancer screening,require deeper mechanistic explo-ration of their malignant transformation.Current Western medicine strategies—primarily surveillance—suffer from delayed interven-tion,while traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theories(e.g.,"phlegm-blood stasis binding")inadequately explain the dynamic pro-gression of malignancy.Integrating You Yi's theory of"where there is mass hardness,there must be latent yang"with modern research on PN malignant transformation,this study proposes a novel pathogenic mechanism of"latent yang as cause,mass hardness as effect":Depressed latent yang drives pro-tumorigenic microenvironments(e.g.,immunosuppression,hypoxic stress,chronic inflammation),leading to the coagulation of phlegm,stasis,fire,and toxins into cancer toxin.Based on this framework,a core therapeutic principle of"dispersing latent yang and intercepting malignant transition in stages"was established,providing a new paradigm for TCM-based early intervention against PN malignancy.
