Objective To investigate the post-discharge exercise behavior and factors influencing moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in patients undergoing lung surgery. Methods A total of 2874 patients from the large prospective, observational perioperative lung symptom study cohort (CN-PRO-Lung 3) in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital between April 7, 2021, and January 31, 2024, were selected as the survey subjects. A survey was conducted using the Investigation of Exercise Behavior after Lung Surgery questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) among patients who underwent lung surgery. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing patients’ engagement in MVPA. Results A total of 702 patients were surveyed, including 252 males and 450 females, with an average age of (52.4±10.2) years. Patients with lung cancer accounted for 85.9%. Only 36.0% of the patients had regular exercise habits, while 42.3% did not engage in any physical activity. The three main barriers for postoperative exercise were physical discomfort (pain, coughing, shortness of breath, etc, 54.7%), lack of professional guidance (41.7%), and concerns about the surgical wound (28.9%). The proportions of patients engaging in vigorous, moderate, and low-intensity physical activity were 5.7%, 28.2%, and 66.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with a personal annual income ≥50000 yuan (OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.01-2.29, P=0.044), high school education or above (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.33-2.76, P<0.001), and lobectomy (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.02-2.03, P=0.037) engaged in more MVPA. Conclusion Patients undergoing lung surgery have inadequate physical activity after discharge, particularly lacking in MVPA. Patients with higher income, higher educational levels, and lobectomy are more frequently engaged in MVPA. Measures such as symptom control, providing exercise guidance, and enhancing education on wound care may potentially improve the inadequate physical activity in lung surgery patients after discharge.

AIM: To evaluate safety, efficacy, visual quality, and patient satisfaction after optimized monovision Q-value-customized femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)for myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled patients suffering myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. At 1 y post operation, uncorrected distance, intermediate and near visual acuity(UDVA, UIVA, UNVA), refraction, corneal higher order aberrations(HOAs), Q value, objective visual quality, and near stereoacuity were evaluated. The impact of surgery on patients' living quality and their satisfaction were evaluated based on National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Instrument(NEI RQL)scores at 1-year follow-up.RESULTS:The study enrolled 36 patients(72 eyes)including 12 males(33%)and 24 females(67%)with an average age of 46.03±3.60(range 40-53)y. One year postoperatively, 97% of patients achieved binocular UDVA of 1.0 or better, 89% achieved UIVA of 0.63 or better, and 97% achieved UNVA of 1.0 or better. The spherical equivalent refraction(SE)in dominant eye within ±1.00 D was 100%. SE in non-dominant eyes was uncorrected compared with the preoperative target correction, with a mean difference of -0.27±0.34 D before and after surgery(P<0.001). while in the non-dominant eyes, the anterior corneal Q-value within the 5 mm zone increased negatively compared with the preoperative value(-0.33±0.24 vs -0.21±0.09, P<0.001). In the non-dominant eye, spherical aberration and longitudinal spherical aberration were lower than preoperative values(both P<0.001). Besides, there were no significant changes in objective scatter index(OSI), modulation transfer function cutoff frequency(MTF cut off)and Strehl ratio(SR)in both dominant and non-dominant eyes(all P>0.05), and the near stereoacuity was better after surgery(P=0.007). Additionally, the patient satisfaction rate with the surgery was 94%, the satisfaction rates for UDVA and UNVA were both 98%. The 11% of patients required to wear low-diopter glasses when driving at night.CONCLUSION:Optimized monovision Q-value-customised FS-LASIK is a safe and effective procedure for correcting myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. It provides favorable subjective and objective visual quality and high patient satisfaction. The under correction in non-dominant eyes is observed, indicating the further optimization of nomogram is needed.

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 investigate the correlation between serum uric acid(SUA)levels and incident chronic kidney disease(CKD)in middle-aged and elderly Chinese population and gender differences.Methods Based on the longitudinal survey data of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2011 to 2015,the CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration cystatin C formula was used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),and 4 119 participants with normal renal function(eGFR≥60 mL·min-1·1.72 m-2)at baseline were included.Incident CKD was defined as eGFR<60 mL·min-1·1.72 m-2 at the follow-up in 2015.Logistic regression analysis was used to analysis the association of SUA levels at baseline and incident CKD among different genders.Restricted cubic spline analysis was used to analyze the dose-response relationship.Results After 4-year follow-up,127 participants developed incident CKD,including 57 males and 70 females.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated SUA levels were independently associated with the risk of incident CKD(OR=1.532,P<0.001).For each 1 mg/dL increase in SUA,the risk of incident CKD increased by 33.6%in males(OR=1.336,P=0.012)and 77.5%in females(OR=1.755,P<0.001).Restricted cubic spline analysis showed a linear positive correlation between SUA levels and incident CKD in both males and females.Participants were divided into four groups according to SUA quartiles(Q1-Q4).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated a significant increase in the risk of incident CKD in Q3 group(3.75 mg/dL4.43 mg/dL)compared with Q1 group in females(Q3 group:OR=2.571,P=0.045;Q4 group:OR=3.666,P=0.005).Conclusion SUA is an independent risk factor for incident CKD in the middle-aged and elderly population.In females,serum uric acid levels exceeding 3.75 mg/dL are associated with an increased risk of incident CKD.

BACKGROUND:In the process of intervening in the development of osteoarthritis,platelet-rich plasma plays an important role by intervening in autophagy,apoptotic cytokines and signal transduction pathways.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the structure of cytokines and signaling pathways involved in the diagnosis of osteoarthritis by platelet-rich plasma in recent years,as well as its correlation with chondrocyte apoptosis and autophagy,in order to provide effective targets for the future treatment of osteoarthritis.METHODS:Literature search was conducted in CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science,and Medline databases using "platelet-rich plasma,chondrocyte,apoptosis,autophagy,osteoarthritis,cytokines,signaling pathway" as Chinese and English search terms.A systematic summary and induction were made for the 66 included articles.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Current research has shown that platelet-rich plasma can promote cartilage repair and assist bone tissue healing through various pathways,mainly divided into three aspects:(1) Platelet-rich plasma regulates the extension,closure,and maturation of microautophagosomes,promotes chondrocyte megaautophagy and molecular chaperone-mediated cell autophagy under specific conditions,enhances the expression of autophagy-related factors such as LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ and Beclin1,inhibits the expression of P62/SQSTM1.Currently,there is no clear research directly exploring the specific effect of platelet-rich plasma on heat shock proteins,and further research is needed in this field in the future.(2) The various growth factors released by platelet-rich plasma inhibit the expression of pro-apoptotic factors Caspase,interleukin-1β,and tumor necrosis factor alpha,promote the expression of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2,and prevent chondrocyte apoptosis and degeneration.(3) By activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway,NF-κB signal transduction pathway,death receptor pathway,mitochondrial stress pathway and other pathways,platelet-rich plasma inhibits the expression of Bax and Caspase,and prevents the release of cytochrome c,thereby inhibiting the death and necrotic apoptosis of chondrocytes.In general,platelet-rich plasma promotes cartilage repair,supports cartilage regeneration,and plays an anti-inflammatory role,and its biological effect in chondrocytes usually depends on the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis-related cytokines and signaling pathways.
