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.

ObjectiveTo construct an evaluation index system for public health emergency response capacity within the healthcare-associated infection prevention and control systems using the Delphi method, and to provide a basis for infection control management in municipal hospitals. MethodsBased on literature analyses and theoretical researches, a preliminary evaluation index system for response capacity was constructed. The Delphi method was employed to conduct two rounds of consultation with 17 experts. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to calculate the weights of the indicators. ResultsThe effective questionnaire return rates for both rounds of expert consultation were 100%. The expert authority coefficients for the first and second rounds were 0.97 and 0.95, respectively. Kendall’s W coefficients ranged from 0.31 to 0.58 in the first round and from 0.45 to 0.58 in the second round, with all differences being statistically significant (P<0.01). After two rounds of expert consultation, the municipal-level hospital infection prevention and control system emergency response capacity evaluation index system was finalized, comprising 5 first-level indicators, 18 second-level indicators and 59 third-level indicators. ConclusionThe constructed public health emergency response capacity evaluation index system for municipal-level hospital infection prevention and control systems demonstrates strong scientific rigor, reliability, and practicality, providing a theoretical foundation and valuable reference for enhancing the infection prevention and control capacity of municipal-level hospitals.

OBJECTIVE To mine the risk signals associated with erectile dysfunction (ED) related to antihypertensive drugs based on real-world data, and to provide a reference for the safe clinical use and risk monitoring of these drugs.METHODS Reports of ED associated with 15 target antihypertensive drugs were extracted from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, covering the period from the first quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of 2026. Three proportional disproportionality measures (reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, and empirical Bayesian geometric mean) were used to mine the risk signals for ED associated with various antihypertensive drugs, and stratified analyses were performed based on patient age and body weight.RESULTS A total of 997 ED reports associated with 15 antihypertensive drugs were included. The majority were male patients (931 reports), with age concentrated in the 18 to <65 years group (511 reports), body weight in the 50 to <100 kg group (366 reports), and reporters predominantly consumers/patients (497 reports). The top three drugs by number of reports were amlodipine (413 reports), metoprolol (133 reports), and valsartan (82 reports); the overall demographic distribution characteristics of reports associated with each drug were similar. Positive signals were detected for 8 drugs, including amlodipine and metoprolol. ED associated with atenolol, candesartan, metoprolol, hydrochlorothiazide, and losartan mostly occurred within 30 days after medication; ED associated with valsartan and perindopril mostly occurred over 360 days after medication; and the onset time of amlodipine-associated ED was evenly distributed across all time periods. There were a total of 835 serious reports, with calcium channel blockers (CCBs) accounting for the highest proportion (44.0%) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors for the lowest (3.7%). The intensity of risk signals for amlodipine-associated ED increased with advancing age and higher body weight, while the signals for metoprolol were most pronounced in individuals aged 45 to <60 years and weighing≥100 kg; positive signals for valsartan were observed only in individuals aged≥60 years and those weighing 50 to <75 kg or ≥100 kg.CONCLUSIONS Reports of ED associated with antihypertensive drugs exhibit significant heterogeneity across drug types and differences in the distribution of onset times; CCBs have the highest proportion of serious reports; and the relationship between ED risk signals associated with amlodipine, metoprolol, and valsartan and age and body weight also shows marked heterogeneity.

Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are significant organic components of PM2.5 and exhibit carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. Long-term exposure to high level of atmospheric particulate matter and particle-bound PAHs may contribute to the burden of environmentally related diseases in China. Objective To characterize PM2.5 concentrations and PM2.5-bound PAHs in three districts of Guangzhou from 2016 to 2024, and to assess the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) associated with inhalation exposure to PAHs among different population groups. Methods PM2.5 samples were collected monthly from the 10th to the 16th day of each month at rooftop monitoring sites on office buildings in Yuexiu, Conghua, and Panyu districts between 2016 and 2024. PM2.5 concentrations were measured, and 16 priority PAHs were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Seasonal and regional variations in PM2.5 and PAH concentrations were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Potential PAH sources were identified using diagnostic ratio analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). The ILCR model was employed to estimate inhalation-related cancer risks for different population groups. Results From 2016 to 2024, the annual median PM2.5 concentrations in Guangzhou were 51.0, 46.0, 45.0, 41.5, 31.0, 32.0, 30.0, 26.0, and 37.5 μg·m−3, respectively, showing an overall declining trend. PM2.5 concentrations varied significantly by season, following the order of winter > spring/autumn > summer (H=475.341, P < 0.001). Spatially, PM2.5 concentrations were highest in Yuexiu, followed by Panyu and Conghua (H=36.226, P < 0.001). The annual median PAH concentrations were 3.95, 4.22, 3.73, 3.13, 2.54, 2.16, 2.78, 2.36, and 1.75 ng·m−3, respectively. PAH concentrations showed a similar seasonal pattern (winter > spring/autumn > summer; H=320.392, P < 0.001). However, their spatial distribution differed from that of PM2.5: Conghua > Panyu > Yuexiu (H=55.938, P < 0.001). Diagnostic ratios and PCA indicated that the major sources of PAHs were traffic-related emissions (gasoline and diesel combustion) and coal combustion, with additional contributions from petroleum volatilization and biomass burning. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) toxic equivalent concentrations declined over time and remained below the Chinese standard limit of 1 ng·m−3 after 2018. The median inhalation-related ILCRs were 0.094×10−6 for children, 0.035×10−6 for adolescents, and 0.293×10−6 for adults. Conclusion From 2016 to 2024, PM2.5 and PM2.5-bound PAH pollution levels in Guangzhou generally declined. Suburban areas had the lowest PM2.5 concentrations but the highest PAHs concentrations. Both PM2.5 and PM2.5-bound PAHs exhibited significant seasonal variations, with the highest levels in winter and the lowest levels in summer. The primary sources of PAHs were vehicular emissions and coal combustion, and PAHs posed no significant carcinogenic risk to the study population.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the efficacy and access safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in series with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) access for critically ill patients using propensity score matching analysis, and to explore the potential influencing factors of infection.
METHODS:
A total of 200 critically ill patients who received both ECMO and CRRT treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Huai'an Second People's Hospital from December 2020 to December 2024 were retrospectively selected as the research subjects. They were divided into the independent operation group (72 cases) and the series system group (128 cases) according to the access connection mode of ECMO and CRRT. Propensity score matching analysis was used to perform 1 : 1 matching for patients of the two groups. The general data [age, gender, body mass index (BMI), clinical diagnosis, underlying disease, intubation method, intubation position, disease severity, ECMO support duration, catheter indwelling duration, oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) at 48 hours after ECMO initiation, serum creatinine (SCr), procalcitonin (PCT), hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT)], treatment status [ECMO initiation duration, ECMO operation duration, ECMO flow, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), CRRT initiation duration, CRRT catheter indwelling duration, inflow and outflow volume of replacement fluid], clinical outcome indicators (28-day survival rate, length of ICU stay, renal function recovery, fluid balance compliance rate), and access safety indicators (incidence of ECMO access thrombosis, incidence of infection, and incidence of bleeding events) of all the patients were collected. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on the occurrence of infection, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the potential risk factors for infection in critically ill patients receiving both ECMO and CRRT treatment.
RESULTS:
Finally, a total of 120 patients were successfully matched, with 60 patients in both the independent operation group and the series system group. No statistically significant differences were observed in the general data between the two groups, indicating comparability. Compared with the independent operation group, the ECMO flow at 48 hours after ECMO initiation, SCr, and alanine transaminase (ALT) of the patients in the series system group were significantly decreased, while the LVEF at 48 hours after ECMO initiation was significantly increased, additionally, the CRRT initiation duration, CRRT catheter indwelling duration, and the length of ICU stay were significantly shortened, and the inflow and outflow volume of replacement fluid were significantly increased. The incidence of infection and bleeding events in the series system group was significantly lower than that in the independent operation group [infection incidence: 11.67% (7/60) vs. 36.67% (22/60), bleeding event incidence: 8.33% (5/60) vs. 48.33% (29/60), both P < 0.05]. No significant difference was found in the other general data, treatment status, clinical outcome indicators, or access safety indicators between the two groups. Among the 120 patients, 29 cases developed infection (accounting for 24.17%), and 91 cases had no infection (accounting for 75.83%). Compared with the non-infection group, the catheter indwelling duration was significantly prolonged and PCT was significantly increased in the infection group, while the PLT and the proportion of patients with ECMO and CRRT access connected via the series system were significantly decreased. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that catheter indwelling duration [odds ratio (OR) = 1.277, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.001-1.629, P = 0.049], PCT (OR = 1.529, 95%CI was 1.222-1.914, P < 0.001], PLT (OR = 0.953, 95%CI was 0.926-0.981, P = 0.001), and access connection mode (OR = 0.289, 95%CI was 0.090-0.930, P = 0.037) were potential risk factors for infection in critically ill patients.
CONCLUSIONS
The ECMO-in-series CRRT access can accelerate the initiation of CRRT, avoid local bleeding, stabilize patients' cardiac, hepatic and renal functions, reduce potential infection risks, and improve the prognosis of patients.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
