Objective:
To explore the application method and clinical efficacy of endoscopic and computerized navigation technology in maxillofacial foreign body removal surgery, and to provide a reference for the clinical application of this technology.
Methods:
This study, which was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the hospital, retrospectively analyzed the data of five patients with maxillofacial foreign bodies who were admitted to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January 2018 to December 2024. All patients underwent preoperative CT scanning. Intraoperatively, endoscopic and computer navigation techniques were used in combination or separately according to the location, size, and adjacency of the foreign body to important neurovascular vessels. The foreign body was precisely localized by endoscopic magnification and direct visualization, and the optimal surgical path was designed and verified under the real-time guidance of computerized navigation to accurately remove the foreign body. The type of foreign body, location, length and diameter, duration of surgery, length of incision, success rate of foreign body removal, postoperative complications, and follow-up were recorded and analyzed.
Results:
The foreign body was successfully removed in all five patients with a success rate of 100%. The intraoperative computerized navigation system was accurate in positioning, and the alignment stability was not significantly affected by mandibular movement; the endoscope provided good illumination and exposure of the operative field. All surgical incisions were small, and no serious complications, such as foreign body residue, important neurovascular injury, or infection, occurred after surgery. One month after the operation, the patients were followed up and recovered well.
Conclusion
The combination of endoscopy and computer navigation or separately assisted technology can provide a clear field and real-time positioning for maxillofacial foreign body removal, effectively avoiding important anatomical structures, thus realizing safe and complete foreign body removal with minimized trauma. This assistive technology significantly improves the accuracy and safety of the operation and has clinical promotion value.

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.

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 establish an objective evaluation system based on the quality characteristics of Gardeniae Fructus without relying on the origin label according to the theory of excellent shape, high quality, and superior effect of authentic medicinal materials, thus providing a scientific basis for the standardization of Gardeniae Fructus. MethodsDifferent batches of Gardeniae Fructus samples were collected from different producing areas. Through herbal textual research and a review of modern literature, fruit length, maximum fruit diameter, and chroma were selected as quantitative indicators to characterize the traditional appearance traits of Gardeniae Fructus. The above indicators were measured by a vernier caliper and a spectrophotometer. Through classical famous prescription data and literature analysis, total iridoid glycosides, total crocus glycosides, and total flavonoids were selected as the core component indicators related to efficacy, and their content was determined. Finally, through cluster analysis, the threshold ranges of the quantitative indicators of excellent shape and high quality were determined, and the applicability of the established evaluation system was verified by the determination of the indicators for each batch of medicinal materials. ResultsThe excellent shape indicators of Gardeniae Fructus were the fruit length-to-maximum fruit diameter ratio ≤1.86, 0°≤h≤45°, and L*≥ 37.32. The content of total iridoid glycosides, total crocus glycosides, and total flavonoids should be no less than 2.2%, 0.44%, and 0.028%, respectively. The measurement results of different batches of Gardeniae Fructus showed that the evaluation system could effectively distinguish the Gardeniae Fructus samples in line with the traditional cognition of excellent shape and high quality. ConclusionThis study preliminarily constructs an excellent shape and high quality-based quality evaluation system for Gardeniae Fructus, which links appearance traits with chemical indicators and provides a methodological basis for the quality control and scientific grading of this herbal medicine.

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.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the optimization of prescription-review software and the selection of auxiliary prescription-review tools for medical institutions.METHODS A total of 559 eligible prescriptions were collected from the Meikang Prescription Automatic Screening System of a tertiary grade-A hospital from January 2025 to March 2026. Judged according to the composite reference standard (CRS) established in this study, there were 206 positive prescriptions [with drug-drug interaction (DDI)] and 353 negative prescriptions (without DDI). DeepSeek, Doubao, Wenxin yiyan, Kimi and Tongyi qianwen were separately adopted to identify DDI in the 559 prescriptions, and binary judgment was performed on their output texts related to DDI. Taking the results judged by CRS as the gold standard, the confusion matrix was constructed and model performance indicators were calculated. The differences in sensitivity between any two large language models were compared, the relative sensitivity (RS) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated, and the results were visualized by a forest plot.RESULTS Wenxin yiyan achieved the highest sensitivity (74.8%) with the lowest risk of missed reports, whereas its specificity was only 40.8%. It had the lowest accuracy (53.3%) and presented a high risk of false positive reports. Tongyi qianwen obtained the highest accuracy (65.3%) and the optimal F1-score (0.587). DeepSeek showed moderate performance in both sensitivity and specificity. Doubao and Kimi exhibited relatively low sensitivity (38.8% and 45.1%, respectively), accompanied by high risks of missed reports. Pairwise comparison revealed that the sensitivity of Wenxin yiyan was significantly higher than that of DeepSeek [ χ 2 =4.84, P =0.028; RS=1.124, 95%CI (1.018, 1.230)]. The sensitivity of Tongyi qianwen was significantly higher than that of Doubao [ χ 2 =4.77, P =0.029; RS=1.239, 95%CI (1.035, 1.443)]. DeepSeek had significantly higher sensitivity than Doubao [ χ 2 =37.65, P <0.001; RS=1.715, 95%CI (1.491, 1.939)]. No statistically significant differences in sensitivity were observed between Kimi versus Doubao and between Tongyi qianwen versus Kimi ( P >0.05).CONCLUSIONS Wenxin yiyan is applicable for preliminary-screening scenarios with low tolerance for missed reports and requires combined manual review. Tongyi qianwen is suitable for auxiliary outpatient prescription review. DeepSeek can act as a transitional solution for medical institutions without dedicated prescription-review software. Doubao and Kimi are not recommended for independent application in prescription DDI audit.
