Patients with lung cancer experience a heavy symptom burden during the perioperative period, which seriously affects their recovery and quality of life. Traditional symptom management models rely mainly on scheduled ward rounds during hospitalization and outpatient follow-up after discharge. However, they have limitations such as delayed symptom recognition, lack of post-discharge monitoring, and non-quantitative symptom assessment, which often lead to delayed interventions and low patient satisfaction. In recent years, the symptom management model based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) has been increasingly valued in clinical practice. Existing high-level evidence from both domestic and international studies indicates that, through proactive monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote interventions, this model enables dynamic and continuous symptom management and helps improve patient recovery and healthcare experience. As a supplement to routine medical care, the ePRO-based symptom management model aims to enhance the quality of care rather than replace existing medical processes. To promote the standardized application of this model in perioperative lung cancer care, this consensus integrates domestic and international evidence. After multiple rounds of voting by more than 50 experts, it formulates 12 consensus statements covering the three core components, symptom monitoring, alerting, and intervention, to provide scientific and practical recommendations for clinical practice.

Background: and Purpose This study aimed to investigate the association between residual inflammatory risk (RIR) and vulnerable plaques using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). Methods: This retrospective study included 70%–99% symptomatic ICAS patients hospitalized from January 2016 to December 2022. Patients were classified into four groups based on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C): residual cholesterol inflammatory risk (RCIR, hs-CRP ≥3 mg/L and LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L), RIR (hs-CRP ≥3 mg/L and LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L), residual cholesterol risk (RCR, hs-CRP <3 mg/L and LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L), and no residual risk (NRR, hs-CRP <3 mg/L and LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L). Vulnerable plaque features on HRMRI included positive remodeling, diffuse distribution, intraplaque hemorrhage, and strong enhancement. Results: Among 336 included patients, 21, 60, 58, and 197 were assigned to the RCIR, RIR, RCR, and NRR groups, respectively. Patients with RCIR (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.606; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.346–9.662; P=0.011) and RIR (aOR, 3.361; 95% CI, 1.774–6.368, P<0.001) had higher risks of strong enhancement than those with NRR. Additionally, patients with RCIR (aOR, 2.965; 95% CI, 1.060–8.297; P=0.038) were more likely to have intraplaque hemorrhage compared with those with NRR. In the sensitivity analysis, RCR (aOR, 2.595; 95% CI, 1.201–5.608; P=0.015) exhibited an additional correlation with an increased risk of intraplaque hemorrhage. Conclusion In patients with symptomatic ICAS, RIR is associated with a higher risk of intraplaque hemorrhage and strong enhancement, indicating an increased vulnerability to atherosclerotic plaques.

Objective:To analyze the chromosome status of pre-implantation embryos from women of different ages, and assess the impact of age on it.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out on the results of PGT-A and PGT-M+ PGT-A cycles by whole-genome amplification followed by next generation sequencing at the Second People′s Hospital of Nanning between July 2021 and November 2023. The embryos were divided into five groups based on the women′s age: ≤ 30 years old group, 31 ~ 34 years old group, 35 ~ 37 years old group, 38 ~ 40 years old group, and ≥ 41 years old group. The chromosomal status of embryos for each group was compared. This study has been approved by the Ethic Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No. Y2024312A).Results:This study has involved 390 couples and 436 PGT cycles, with a total of 1 651 blastocysts biopsied and analyzed. Among these, 835 embryos (50.6%) were found to have chromosomal abnormalities, including 490 (29.7%) with aneuploidies, 154 (9.3%) with chromosomal segment abnormalities, and 264 (16.0%) with chromosome mosaicisms. After adjusting the dosages of Gn, female BMI, male age, PGT indications, infertility type, LH, AMH and other parameters, maternal age appeared to be an independent factor for chromosomal abnormalities and aneuploidies in blastocysts ( OR=1.132, 95% CI = 1.089 - 1.177, P<0.001; OR=1.250, 95% CI = 1.188-1.315, P<0.001). With the increase in female age, embryonic chromosome abnormalities have significantly increased in each group, with the rates being 32.3% (126/390), 43.1% (189/439), 45.1% (116/257), 66.3% (250/377), and 81.9% (154/188) ( P<0.001). Chromosomal aneuploidies have also significantly increased, with the rates being 8.2% (32/390), 16.6% (73/439), 24.5% (63/257), 49.6% (187/377), and 71.8% (135/188) ( P<0.001). The proportion of embryos with ≥ 2 chromosome abnormalities also significantly increased in abnormal embryos, with the rates being 28.6% (36/126), 30.2% (57/189), 39.7% (46/116), 48.4% (121/250), and 64.9% (100/154) ( P<0.001). Of note, the female age did not affect the prevalence of chromosomal segment abnormalities and mosaicisms (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The findings suggested that along with the increase infemale age, there was an increase in the rate of chromosomal abnormalities, at the same time, the type of chromosomal abnormality changed, mainly with an increased incidence of chromosomal aneuploidy, and the proportion of embryos involving multiple chromosomal abnormalities increases significantly.

Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis(referred to as bronchiectasis)is a common chronic airway disease.Neutrophils have traditionally been considered to play a dominant role in the airway inflammation of bronchiectasis.However,it has been discovered that approximately 20％to 30％of bronchiectasis patients exhibited elevated eosinophil counts(Sputum eosinophil ratio＞3％or blood eosinophil count＞300/μl)in their sputum and blood samples,referred to as eosinophilic bronchiectasis(EB).Based on this novel discovery of the inflammatory phenotype,some scholars have advocated treating bronchiectasis as an"inflammatory disease"rather than an"infectious disease"in a novel therapeutic approach.This article reviews the discovery and the latest research advancements of EB,exploring its pathophysiological basis,clinical characteristics,and treatment,with the aim to facilitate the understanding and management of EB.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, to construct a clinical prediction model for patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention of pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:In January 2024, a total of 232 patients with pneumoconiosis (including coal workers' pneumoconiosis and silicosis) who were treated in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the Third People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Occupational Disease Hospital) from January 2022 to January 2023 were randomly selected as the study subjects. Collectted basic patient information and diagnostic data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors related to pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. According to the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis, a nomogram was established, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the predictive ability.Results:Among the 232 patients with pneumoconiosis, 73 were complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, accounting for 31.47% (73/232). Multivariate logistic regression analysis determined that dust exposure time, type of work, smoking history, and lung function level were all risk factors for pneumoconiosis complicated with tuberculosis ( OR=10.33, 95% CI=1.92~55.66, OR=5.43, 95% CI=1.91~15.44, OR=3.10, 95% CI=1.15~8.37, OR=4.00, 95% CI=1.62~9.87; P<0.05). The constructed nomogram model has good clinical applicability when the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is 0.77 [95% CI (0.69, 0.73) ], the calibration curve is close to the ideal diagonal, the absolute error between the simulation curve and the actual curve is 0.03, and the DCA decision curve shows that the probability threshold of the nomogram model is 1%-90%. Conclusion:The risk of pneumoconiosis complicated with tuberculosis is high, and the risk factors of dust exposure time, smoking history, type of work and lung function level are high. This nomogram model can be used to predict the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with pneumoconiosis, which is helpful for early intervention.

To achieve rapid and visual detection of Plasmodium vivax,a detection method based on recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA)technology and lateral flow dipstick(LFD)was established and evaluated.Targeting the conserved sequence of the P.vivax 18S rRNA gene(GenBank:DQ660817.1)as the target sequence,primers and probes were designed with Primer Premier 5,and the P.vivax recombinant plasmid(pUCPv)was constructed as the standard.A sensitive and specific RPA-LFD-based rapid visual detection method for P.vivax nucleic acids was established.The plasmid standard was serially diluted 10-fold to concentrations of 1×103,1×102,1×101,1×10?,and 1×10?1 copies/μL for sensitivity testing.To evaluate specificity,whole blood DNA samples from patients infected with Plasmodium falciparum,Plasmodium malariae,Plasmodium ovale,or Leishmania donovani,as well as healthy participants,were tested by RPA-LFD.Additionally,The assay′s accuracy was evaluated by testing whole blood DNA samples from 24 confirmed P.vivax-infected patients.This study successfully established a sensitive,specific,and rapid visual RPA-LFD method for detecting P.vivax nucleic acids.The assay can complete P.vivax detection within 20 minutes under isothermal conditions at 39 ℃,achieving a sensitivity of 1 copy/μL.There is no significant cross reaction with parasites such as other Plasmodium species and L.donovani,and the specificity is 100%.All 24 DNA samples from confirmed P.vivax patients were detected,showing a 100%detection rate.The developed RPA-LFD assay exhibits excellent sensitivity and specificity,requires only simple heating equipment,and is user-friendly.This rapid visual detection method is particularly suitable for P.vivax screening in low-resource settings.
