With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) has been a safe and viable alternative to conversion to laparotomy in cases of severe cholecystitis. The objective of this study is to determine the utility of intraoperative choledochoscopy in LSC for the exploration of the gallbladder, cyst duct, and subsequent stone clearance of the cystic duct in cases of severe cholecystitis. A total of 72 patients diagnosed with severe cholecystitis received choledochoscopy-assisted laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (CALSC). A choledochoscopy was performed to explore the gallbladder cavity and/or cystic duct, and to extract stones using a range of techniques. The clinical records, including the operative records and outcomes, were subjected to analysis. No LSC was converted to open surgery, and no bile duct or vascular injuries were sustained. All stones within the cystic duct were removed by a combination of techniques, including high-frequency needle knife electrotomy, basket, and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. A follow-up examination revealed the absence of residual bile duct stones, with the exception of one common bile duct stone, which was extracted via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. In certain special cases, CALSC may prove to be an efficacious treatment for the management of severe cholecystitis. This technique allows for optimal comprehension of the situation within the gallbladder cavity and cystic duct, facilitating the removal of stones from the cystic duct and reducing the residue of the non-functional gallbladder remnant.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of electric microneedling combined with recombinant collagen liquid dressing, compound glycyrrhizin tablets, and hydrocortisone butyrate ointment for the treatment of mild to moderate alopecia areata in children.Methods:This is a prospective study. A total of 72 children with mild to moderate alopecia areata, admitted to the Department of Dermatology, Zunyi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from November 2023 to June 2024, were included in this study. The children were randomly assigned to either the experimental group, which received electric microneedling combined with treatment, or the control group, which received treatment without microneedling, based on the order of their visits. All patients received oral compound glycyrrhizin tablets and topical hydrocortisone butyrate ointment for treatment. In the experimental group, electric microneedling was used to puncture the alopecia lesions while simultaneously applying recombinant collagen liquid dressing. The control group did not receive electric microneedling treatment and only had the recombinant collagen liquid dressing applied to the lesions. The treatment lasted for 12 weeks. The efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. After treatment, all patients were followed up for 3 months to check for any recurrence of this condition.Results:There was no significant difference in response rate between the experimental and control groups [81.58% (31/38) vs. 73.53% (25/34), χ2 = 0.67, P = 0.412). No significant difference in cure rate was observed between the experimental and control groups [57.89% (22/38) vs. 47.06% (16/34), χ2= 0.85, P = 0.358]. The time to effect in the experimental group was shorter than that in the control group [(3.16 ± 0.73) weeks vs. (4.60 ± 1.08) weeks, t = 5.15, P < 0.001]. The incidence of adverse reactions did not differ significantly between the experimental and control groups [7.89% (3/38) vs. 0, Fisher value = 0.24, P = 0.242]. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between experimental and control groups [6.45% (2/31) vs. 12.00% (3/25), χ2 = 0.06, P = 0.801). Conclusions:The combination of electric microneedling, recombinant collagen liquid dressing, compound glycyrrhizin tablets, and hydrocortisone butyrate ointment provides a rapid onset of effect and is safe and effective for the treatment of mild to moderate alopecia areata in children.

Hyperuricemia is a chronic metabolic disease resulting from purine metabolic dysfunction and is classified under the category of"blood turbidity"in traditional Chinese medicine.Our team termed it"acid turbidity,"and its pathogenesis is closely related to the dynamic evolution of the clear and the turbid components.With the change of modern people's diet structure,the incidence of hyperuricemia is increasing annually owing to the intake of fatty,sweet foods and alcohol.Therefore,this paper explores hyperuricemia from the"indigestion of spleen and stomach"theory.The core pathogenesis of hyperuricemia is indigestion of spleen and stomach,the inversion of clear and turbid substances,and endogenous acid turbidity.The initial manifestation of hyperuricemia is the internal retention of acid turbidity and ascending-descending disharmony;the gradual manifestation of this disease is that indigestion causes heat,and acid turbidity transforms into poison;the final manifestation of this disease is that secular indigestion causes deficiency and the inversion of clear and turbid substances.It can be summarized into three syndromes:syndromes of internal retention of dampness-turbidity,dampness-heat toxin amassment,and dampness-heat due to spleen deficiency.Therefore,this paper proposes to treat the disease according to different syndromes,with ascending the clear and descending the turbid as the core of treatment.And the therapeutic approach employs the flexible application of three methods:transportation,resolving,and transformation.For syndrome of internal retention of dampness-turbidity,treatment focuses on promoting spleen transportation to eliminate dampness;for syndrome of dampness-heat toxin amassment,the strategy is to resolve indigestion and purge heat;and for syndrome of dampness-heat due to spleen deficiency,the aim is to resolve turbidity and clear heat.By ascending the clear and descending the turbid,so that"returning the clear and the turbid to the original,"the spleen and stomach regain harmony,functions of ascending and descending are reestablished,and hyperuricemia can be effectively managed.
