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.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), primarily manifesting as motor dysfunctions such as resting tremor, muscle rigidity, and bradykinesia. According to the classical model of basal ganglia motor control, approximately half of the medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the striatum are D1-MSNs, which constitute the direct pathway. These neurons express D1-dopamine receptor (D1R) and substance P, and they mainly participate in the selection, initiation, and execution of movements. The other half are D2-MSNs, which constitute the indirect pathway. These neurons express D2-dopamine receptor (D2R) and adenosine 2A receptors and are involved in inhibiting unnecessary movements or terminating ongoing movements, thereby adjusting movement sequences to perform more precise motor behaviors. The direct pathway in the striatum modulates the activity of motor cortex neurons by exciting D1-MSNs through neurotransmitters such as glutamate (Glu), allowing the motor cortex to send signals more freely to the motor system, thus facilitating the generation and execution of specific motor behaviors. Studies using D1-Cre and D2-Cre mice with neurons labeled for D1R and D2R have shown that both types of neurons are involved in the execution of movements, with D1-MSNs participating in movement initiation and D2-MSNs in inhibiting actions unrelated to the target movement. These findings suggest that the structural and functional plasticity of D1-MSNs and D2-MSNs in the basal ganglia circuitry enables motor learning and behavioral regulation. Additionally, when SNpc DA neurons begin to degenerate, D1-MSNs are initially affected but do not immediately cause motor impairments. In contrast, when D2-MSNs undergo pathological changes, they are first activated by upstream projecting neurons, leading to the inhibition of most motor behaviors and resulting in motor dysfunction. Therefore, it is hypothesized that motor impairments such as bradykinesia and initiation difficulties are more closely related to the functional activity of D2-MSNs. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway has been identified as a critical modulator in the pathophysiology of PD. Recent findings indicate that Erk/MAPK signaling pathway can mediate DA and Glu signaling in the central nervous system, maintaining normal functional activity of striatal MSNs and influencing the transmission of motor control signals. Within this complex regulatory network, the Erk/MAPK signaling pathway plays a key role in transmitting motor information to downstream neurons, regulating normal movements, avoiding unnecessary movements, and finely tuning motor behaviors. Our laboratory’s previous research found that 4 weeks of aerobic exercise intervention improved motor dysfunction in PD mice by inhibiting the Erk1/2 signaling upstream of striatal MSNs, primarily involving the Erk1/2 signaling in D2-MSNs rather than D1-MSNs. This review summarizes the neurobiological mechanisms of Erk/MAPK signaling pathway in D2-MSNs for the prevention and treatment of motor dysfunction in PD. By exploring the role of this signaling pathway in regulating motor abnormalities and preventing motor dysfunction in the central nervous system of PD, this review provides new theoretical perspectives for related mechanistic research and therapeutic strategies.

BACKGROUND:Patch surgery by tension-free repair has become the first choice for treatment of abdominal hernias in recent years because of its effectiveness in reducing postoperative pain and recurrence rates compared to traditional suturing.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the advantages and disadvantages associated with the application of different hernia repair patch materials.METHODS:CNKI,Google Scholar,and PubMed databases were searched using Chinese and English search terms"abdominal wall defect,hernia patches,hernia treatment"for articles published from January 2018 to February 2024.A few classic early-onset articles were used to express the development of hernia repair.After preliminary screening by reading titles and abstracts,those with low relevance to hernia repair materials were excluded.Finally,90 articles were included for summarization.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hernia repair patches can be divided into non-absorbable synthetic patches,absorbable synthetic patches,natural polymer patches,and composite patches based on different materials used.Non-absorbable patches have high mechanical strength and are beneficial for tissue healing in hernia areas,but long-term presence of patches in the body may trigger immune responses,leading to inflammation and pain.Absorbable synthetic patches and natural polymer patches have good tissue compatibility and degradability,but their mechanical strength is unstable.Composite material patches inherit the excellent mechanical properties of traditional non-absorbable patches and reduce the risk of complications through the design of absorbable parts.In subsequent studies of hernia repair patch materials,researchers should focus on how to combine novel technologies with composite patches to form multifunctionalized hernia repair materials.

Objective:To explore the value of paediatric age-adjusted shock index(SIPA)in early identification of septic shock in children,and to evaluate the relationship between SIPA and disease severity and prognosis.Methods:The infected children admitted to the department of critical care medicine of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from May 2023 to July 2024 were collected. Dynamic assessment was performed 0 to 6 hours after admission. Patients diagnosed with sepsis without septic shock were classified as the sepsis group and those diagnosed with sepsis with septic shock were classified as the septic shock group. According to whether the blood pressure of the children decreased,they were divided into two groups:compensated septic shock group and decompensated septic shock group. The difference of SIPA among the three groups was analyzed,and the predictive value of SIPA on case fatality rate,lactate level,pediatric critical illness score,ventilator utilization rate and length of hospital stay were analyzed.Results:Among 203 children with sepsis,112 were males and 91 were females. There were 146 cases in the sepsis group,37 cases in the compensated septic shock group and 20 cases in the decompensated septic shock group. There was no significant difference between the three groups in gender( P>0.05),but there was a statistically significant difference in age( χ 2=32.905, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in age between the sepsis group and the compensated septic shock group( P>0.05). The age of sepsis group and decompensated septic shock group,compensated septic shock group and decompensated septic shock group were statistically significant( χ 2=29.431, P<0.001; χ 2=19.764, P=0.001). The proportion of increased SIPA was statistically different among the three groups,with both the compensated septic shock group and the decompensated septic shock group being higher than the sepsis group( χ2=20.383, P<0.001; χ2=33.600, P<0.001). The decompensated septic shock group was higher than the compensated septic shock group( χ2=6.555, P=0.01). SIPA was correlated with case fatality rate,lactate level,pediatric critical illness score,ventilator use rate and length of stay of the children,with statistically significant differences( P<0.05). Conclusion:The increase of SIPA can be used for the early identification of septic shock in children,and it has a certain early warning value for the prognosis assessment of sepsis and septic shock.
