With the continuous deepening of the concept of precision diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer, how to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment pathways in clinical practice has become an important issue that urgently needs to be overcome. The current clinical difficulty lies in the fact that despite continuous advancements in imaging and molecular diagnostic technologies, there are still limitations in manual efficiency and subjective experience when it comes to massive data analysis and multi-scale feature extraction. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially algorithm systems based on deep learning, is an innovative technology capable of deeply empowering medical big data. This method utilizes algorithms such as convolutional neural networks, combined with radiomics, pathomics, and multi-modal data fusion analysis, demonstrating immense potential in early precise detection and benign-malignant differentiation of pulmonary nodules, digital pathological subtype recognition and non-invasive prediction of driver genes, precise 3D surgical planning and automatic delineation of radiotherapy target volumes, as well as dynamic risk warning during follow-up. This innovative technology provides a brand-new solution for realizing intelligent and individualized lung cancer diagnosis and treatment models. This consensus, based on the latest evidence from evidence-based medicine and combined with the development trends in the AI field and real-world clinical needs, was ultimately formed by gathering the consensus opinions of multidisciplinary experts in radiology, pathology, thoracic surgery, and other fields. The main content covers the application specifications of AI in the three core scenarios of lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, the technical standards for data collection and algorithm validation, as well as the ethical and regulatory challenges faced at the current stage. It aims to clarify the applicable boundaries of AI as a clinical auxiliary decision support tool, providing scientific guidance and standardized exploration directions for peers currently engaged in or planning to carry out AI-assisted clinical diagnosis, treatment, and translation of lung cancer.

AIM:To evaluate visual outcomes and visual function in nonamblyopic adults with myopic anisometropia treated with small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE).METHODS:Prospective comparative cohort study. The consecutive patients who underwent SMILE for the treatment of myopia or myopic astigmatism at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center(Guangzhou, China)between October 2015 and January 2016 were included. They were divided into two groups based on the bilateral difference of a spherical equivalent(SE)refraction ≥1.50 D: the anisometropic myopia group(interocular SE difference ≥1.50 D)and non-anisometropic myopia group(interocular SE difference<1.50 D). Refractive status, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity(UDVA and CDVA), and visual function parameters including fusional vergence amplitude, stereoacuity and horizontal phoria were measured preoperatively and at 1 wk,1,3 and 6 mo after surgery.RESULTS:A total of 49 cases(98 eyes)were included in the study, and 19 cases(38 eyes)in the anisometropic group, including 11 males and 8 females, with a mean age of 25.4±6.2 y, and 30 cases(60 eyes)in the non-anisometropic myopia group, including 19 males and 11 females, with a mean age of 26.8±4.6 y. The CDVA of the non-anisometropia group was significantly better than that of the anisometropia group 6 mo postoperatively(P=0.036). However, the safety and efficacy indexes of the two groups did not show significant differences. The fusional vergence(break point and recovery point)of the anisometropia group decreased(P=0.005 and P=0.03)and was significantly lower than that in the non-anisometropia group at 6 mo post operatively(P=0.029 and P=0.046). Both groups showed a significant improvement in distance and near stereopsis at 1, 3 and 6 mo in comparison with the preoperative baseline and 1 wk postoperatively(all P<0.05). No clinically significant change in the amount of ocular alignment in terms of distance and near deviation postoperatively in either groups.CONCLUSION: SMILE is a predictable, effective, and safe method for correcting myopic anisometropia in adults without amblyopia. Although the fusional vergence amplitudes changed, stereopsis can be improved after surgery.

Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of dual-task training (DTT) on mobility and balance in stroke patients. MethodsCNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) on DTT in stroke rehabilitation from inception to June, 2025. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the PEDro scale. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. ResultsA total of eleven RCT involving 517 stroke patients were included, and the scores of PEDro scale were four to eight. DTT was more effective on the score of Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremity (MD = 3.70, 95%CI 1.88 to 5.53, P < 0.001) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (MD = 3.04, 95%CI 1.58 to 4.49, P < 0.001), fall incidence (OR = 0.32, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.87, P = 0.025), gait speed under a single-task condition (MD = 0.08, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.12, P = 0.002), gait speed under a dual-task condition (MD = 0.13, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.16, P < 0.001), Timed Up and Go Test time (MD = -2.78, 95%CI -3.85 to -1.72, P < 0.001), and score of modified Barthel Index (MD = 4.77, 95%CI 1.88 to 7.66, P = 0.001). Subgroup analysis indicated that motor-motor DTT was more effective than cognitive-motor DTT on BBS scores and single-task gait speed. ConclusionsDTT can improve mobility and balance in stroke patients, especially with motor-motor tasks.

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

Subunit 5B of constitutively photomorphogenic 9 signalosome(CSN5B)is an inhibitory factor for the biosynthesis of vitamin C in the L-galactose synthesis pathway in plants.To create mutants with richer vitamin C in tomato fruits,a dual-target vector of pKSE402-SlCSN5Bwas constructed and trans-formed into the breeding parent of 1912.Based on the molecular biological assay and DNA sequencing,17 transgenic positive lines were determined,and 6 lines of them were genetically mutated at the target site of SlCSN5B,with an editing efficiency of 35.3%.Among the mutants,2 lines were homozygous mu-tants,csn5b-6 with 180 bp deletion and csn5b-8 with 3 bp deletion.The biological traits of two types of deficiency homozygotes without exogenous T-DNA insertion derived from the T1 generation were observed,and there were no significant differences in phenotypes of the plant and fruit.Through physiological tes-ting of red-ripe fruits from T,generation lines of csn5b-6,the GMPase activity and the vitamin C content significantly increased by 43%and 37.8%,respectively,the content of hydrogen peroxide significantly decreased by 25.9%,and the content of soluble solids did not obviously change,compared with the wild type.There were no significant differences in plant traits and physiological characteristics between T1 gen-eration lines of csn5b-8 and the wild type.Based on gene expression analysis and protein structure predic-tion,the results showed that the gene of SlCSN5B normally transcribed,and the loss of large peptide seg-ments of CSN5B encoded by SlCSN5B caused changes in its structure to affect functioning,which led to an increase of vitamin C content in the line of csn5b-6-1 1.The findings suggest that the vitamin C content of tomato fruit can be improved by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SlCSN5B gene editing,which provides the valuable resources for high-quality breeding in tomato.

In the field of substance detection,ion dissociation techniques have become crucial for enhancing qualitative accuracy.By applying external energy to induce dissociation of ions in the substance being analyzed,the internal structural information can be obtained,thereby improving qualitative capabilities.Current research on ion dissociation techniques primarily focuses on tandem mass spectrometry,which typically requires a vacuum environment.However,research on ambient ion dissociation techniques is less developed,with some progress made in the field of tandem ion mobility spectrometry.Recently,the development of field-induced dissociation(FID)in this area has enabled ambient dissociation of various explosive and volatile alcohol ions.Nevertheless,the limitation imposed by the maximum breakdown field of air restricts the energy of the electric field,making it challenging to dissociate ions with high energy requirements,such as those of drugs.To address this issue,in this work,an ambient heat-induced dissociation(HID)technique based on high temperatures was proposed,in which an ambient ion heat-induced dissociation unit was developed and integrated into a home-made ion trap mass spectrometer.Experiments were conducted on four representative drug samples,e.g.methamphetamine,heroin,cocaine,and ketamine.The parent ions mass spectra,low vacuum collision-induced dissociation(CID)mass spectra and ambient HID mass spectra for each sample were obtained.By analyzing and comparing the fragmentation products from ambient and low vacuum dissociation,the feasibility of the ambient HID technique was verified.This technique provided a method for ion dissociation in single mass analyzers without tandem mass spectrometry capability and offered a new research direction for the future development of tandem ion mobility spectrometry.
