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.

To address the growing challenge of an increasing number of elderly lung cancer patients amidst China's aging population and to fill the gap in quality control standards for surgical treatment in this special population, this study aimed to develop a standardized surgical evaluation system for elderly lung cancer patients tailored to China's national conditions. The system was established through a literature review, integrated the pathophysiological characteristics of elderly patients, and was constructed following review, feedback, and revision by experts from multiple thoracic surgery centers. Employing a 100-point scoring system, it comprises three primary domains: physical infrastructure and geriatric adaptability foundational conditions (10 points); management level and perioperative care models (20 points); and technical proficiency and clinical outcomes (70 points). The system places a strong emphasis on geriatric adaptability, proposing specific, quantifiable indicators for age-friendly facility modifications, control of elderly-specific complications, multidisciplinary collaboration, and standardized perioperative management. It provides a convenient and measurable assessment tool for quality control in the surgical treatment of elderly lung cancer in China, which is expected to promote the standardization and homogenization of diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: To explore the related factors of college students social network addiction based on problem behavior theory, so as to provide a basis for improving social networking addiction in this population. Methods: From May to June 2023, a method combining convenient sampling and cluster random sampling was used to select 1 768 college students from five universities in Shanghai for a questionnaire survey on social networking addiction, self esteem, loneliness, depressive symptoms, social support, interpersonal needs, sense of distress and frustration; at the same time, the physical exercise, smoking and drinking of college students were investigated. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the association between the three systems of the problem behavior theory (personality, behavior, and social environment) and social networking addiction among college students. Results: The score on the Social Network Addiction Tendency Scale was (21.08±6.29) among college students, and the detection rate of social networking addiction was 66.29%. After adjusting for gender, family economic status, parental divorce status, and whether being an only child, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that in the personality system, higher loneliness ( OR =1.66) and higher depressive symptoms ( OR =2.18) were associated with increased risk of social networking addiction among college students; in the behavior system, alcohol consumption ( OR =1.42) was associated with higher risk of soical networking addiction compared to non drinkers; and in the social environment system, low social support ( OR =1.43) was associated with increased risk of social networking addiction (all P <0.05). Conclusions The rate of social networking addiction among college students is relatively high, and the systems of personality, behavior, and social environment are all related to social network addiction. Providing social support, cultivating healthy lifestyle habits, and increasing interpersonal interactions may help reduce excessive dependence on social networking among college students.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. As a critical component of surgical repair, reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) serves as a primary determinant of postoperative hemodynamics and long-term prognosis. With advancements in surgical techniques, early postoperative survival rates for TOF have significantly improved, shifting clinical focus toward addressing long-term complications such as right ventricular dysfunction and reduced exercise tolerance. However, challenges persist regarding optimal timing of surgery in relation to adverse long-term outcomes, balancing RVOT reconstruction strategies, and selecting appropriate repair materials for RVOT reconstruction, with a lack of unified high-level evidence-based guidelines. To address these issues and standardize the application of radical corrective surgery for TOF to better serve patients, the National Society for Congenital Heart Diseases has systematically reviewed existing high-level evidence. Consequently, we have registered and formulated the "Protocol for Chinese expert consensus on right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in tetralogy of Fallot (2026 edition)", which details the methodology and development process of this upcoming consensus.

Although video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) offers clear advantages, including minimal trauma and rapid recovery, stable intraoperative visualization still depends heavily on the camera assistant. Traditional manual endoscope holding is therefore susceptible to several limitations, including image instability, assistant fatigue, and poor coordination with the primary surgeon. Operating in complex and confined anatomical spaces with a rigid thoracoscope further increases the demands on hand-eye coordination. Thoracoscopic camera-holding technology has progressively evolved from passive support systems to active camera holders and robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) platforms, and is now advancing toward artificial intelligence-driven tracking and intelligent control. Based on this, a series of devices, including multifunctional intelligent assistant arms and active camera-holding arms for thoracic surgery, have been developed and have attracted increasing attention. This article reviews the development of intelligent camera-holding assistant arms and discusses related advances and future directions in the field.

Objective To explore the feasibility of magnetic compression technique (MCR) in the treatment of severe single mid-ureteral stricture in a rabbit model. Methods After 10 female New Zealand rabbits were selected, the distal end of the right ureter was ligated with silk thread. Two weeks after the operation, when the right ureter was dilated, the mid-ureter was ligated again with silk thread to create a severe single mid-ureteral stricture animal model. Longitudinal incisions were made at the upper and lower ends of the ligation site, and cylindrical NdFeB magnets with central holes (sub-magnets and main magnets) were placed to anastomose and recanalize the mid-ureteral stricture. The magnets were adjusted to the appropriate position to automatically align and attract each other. The longitudinal incision sites of the ureter were sutured with 6-0 Prolene thread, and the abdominal cavity was closed layer by layer. The operation time was recorded. X-ray films were taken every two days to confirm the position of the magnets and record the time of magnet detachment. Three weeks after the operation, the anastomotic specimens were obtained, and the formation of the anastomosis was evaluated with gross observation and histological staining. Results Two weeks after ligation, all experimental rabbits showed obvious dilation of the right ureter. The mid-ureteral ligation and placement of the male and female magnets were successfully completed in all 10 experimental rabbits, with an operation time of (24.00±5.15)minutes. The male and female magnets attracted each other well. X-ray examination showed that the magnets detached and entered the distal ureter (14.0±1.9) days after magnetic compression. The recanalization of the severe single mid-ureteral stricture was successfully achieved. The gross specimens and histological examination of the anastomosis showed that the anastomosis remained patent and the mucosal healing was good. All experimental rabbits survived well after the operation without serious complications. Conclusion MCT provides a new idea and novel method for the treatment of mid-ureteral stricture. This study confirmed the feasibility of this technique in treating severe single mid-ureteral stricture in a rabbit model. The operation is relatively simple and has potential for clinical application.

Cholestatic liver injury （CLI） is a hepatic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of bile acids in the body due to various etiologies， and without timely intervention， it can progress to liver fibrosis， liver cirrhosis， and liver failure and even lead to death. Studies have shown that modulating oxidative stress can alleviate lipid peroxidation and cellular damage， thereby suppressing inflammation and cell apoptosis. In recent years， remarkable progress has been made regarding the active components and compound prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of CLI by regulating oxidative stress. This article systematically reviews the current status of research on the mechanism of action and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of CLI by regulating oxidative stress.

ObjectiveThis study employs a special conformational engineering (CE) technology to construct an α-chymotrypsin-like active center, which includes a catalytic triad, an oxyanion hole, and a substrate-binding site, on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), thereby creating an AgNP-based artificial hydrolase with high catalytic activity. This study provides a new approach for the design of highly efficient artificial enzymes and enzyme-mimicking. MethodsAgNPs were chosen as the scaffold to build the an α-chymotrypsin-like active center. A special CE procedure enables the designed peptide, Triad5, to adopt an α‑helical conformation on AgNPs, with the key catalytic residues located on one side of the α-helix forming a catalytic active center with a catalytic triad, an oxyanion hole, and a substrate-binding site. The CE procedure consists of three steps, including conformation induction via trifluoroethanol (TFE), conformation stabilization on AgNPs via Ag-S bonds, and TFE removal via lyophilization. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra were used to confirm the formation and stabilization of the α-helix conformation. Mutations of the key residues combined with stopped-flow kinetic experiments were used to demonstrate the indispensability of each key residue and the synergistic effects among the catalytic triad, the oxyanion hole, and the substrate-binding site. ResultsCD spectra show that the designed Triad5 alone is in random coil conformation; when conjugated on AgNPs, Triad5 still remains largely unstructured; but after the CE treatment, Triad5 adopts a typical α-helical conformation on AgNPs as designed, thus produces an AgNP-based artificial hydrolase, Silverzyme. Silverzyme exhibits extremely high hydrolytic activity towards p-nitrophenyl acetate (p-NPA), with an extremely high catalytic turnover number per active site of 3.5 s^-1, which is even higher than that of α-chymotrypsin. As a comparison, the AgNP-Triad5 conjugate without CE treatment shows much lower catalytic activity than Silverzyme, highlighting the important role of the right conformation of the active center for the catalytic activity and the power of the CE treatment. When the key residues of the catalytic triad of Silverzyme were mutated to alanine, the overall catalytic efficiency of this mutant dropped by about 2 orders of magnitude, unambiguously demonstrating the key role of the designed catalytic triad. Similarly, when the residues for the oxyanion hole were deleted, the mutant with the intact catalytic triad also showed significantly decreased catalytic activity, highlighting the indispensable role of the oxyanion hole for the catalytic activity. Unexpectedly, when both the catalytic triad and the oxyanion hole were kept intact, a slight change of the binding site also resulted in significantly decreased catalytic activity, indicating that the designed binding site is at the right position to align the substrate in the right orientation in the active center for catalytic hydrolysis. These results confirm the synergy among the catalytic triad, the oxyanion hole, and the substrate-binding site, indicating successful mimicking of the active center of α-chymotrypsin. Moreover, Silverzyme shows better thermal stability than α-chymotrypsin, and can even hydrolyze the tough non-activated ester diethyl phthalate, a priority pollutant by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). ConclusionThis study successfully mimicked the complex catalytic active center of α-chymotrypsin using a conformational engineering strategy, and produced a highly active artificial hydrolase with a well-defined structure and catalytic mechanism. The findings highlight the significant potential of conformational engineering.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to elucidate the mechanistic role of Staphylococcus aureus in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by pruritus and barrier dysfunction. A key focus was screening traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) active components with dual antibacterial and antipruritic efficacy, followed by systematic evaluation of their in vitro antibacterial activity. Additionally, a novel drug delivery system was constructed to enable localized efficient drug delivery, inhibiting S. aureus proliferation and alleviating its induced pruritus, thereby providing new strategies for targeted AD therapy. MethodsMale C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks (body weight 18-22 g) were used to establish an AD model via repeated oxazolone sensitization. On day 14, microbial samples were collected from the lesional area (1 cm²) using sterile cotton swabs, followed by vortex mixing, serial dilution, and plating on 5% sheep blood agar plates (incubated at 37°C for 24 h). Single colonies with complete transparent β-hemolytic zones were isolated and identified as vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) via 16S rRNA sequencing. An S. aureus mono-infection animal model was then established by applying gauze saturated with bacterial suspension (McFarland turbidity 0.1) to the nape and back skin of mice. The pruritic phenotype and inflammatory cell infiltration induced by S. aureus were evaluated using comprehensive approaches including behavioral assays (e.g., scratching frequency recording), hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and toluidine blue staining. The in vitro antibacterial efficacy of the TCM monomer pseudolaric acid B (PAB) and double network hydrogel (DN) was separately assessed by disk diffusion assay, while the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PAB was determined via broth dilution method. Further validation of the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the composite system (PAB@DN, composed of PAB and DN) was conducted through behavioral assays, HE staining, and dermatitis scoring, with its drug release profile evaluated by mass spectrometry analysis. Based on scratching behavioral analysis and dermatitis scoring, the optimal ratio and concentration of PAB@DN were optimized. ResultsThe S. aureus load in AD lesional tissues was significantly higher than in normal skin ((5.3±0.33)×10⁶ CFU vs. (3.6±0.26)×10⁷ CFU, P<0.001). In the S. aureus mono-infection group, mice exhibited a 6.7-fold increase in scratching frequency compared to the control group. HE staining revealed marked epidermal thickening ((10.4±2.39) μm vs. (85.6±1.95) μm, P<0.000 1), and toluidine blue staining showed a 23-fold increase in mast cell degranulation. Pseudolaric acid B exhibited a significant concentration-dependent inhibitory effect onS. aureus growth, with its in vitro antibacterial effect being 57% that of the antibiotic cefepime (inhibition zone diameter: PAB (1.885±0.036) cm vs. cefepime (3.636±0.005) cm, P<0.000 1) and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1 g/L. The carrier double network hydrogel (DN) itself lacked direct antibacterial activity (no significant difference in inhibition zone diameter compared to the control) but effectively ameliorated the dry symptoms of AD-like lesions. The PAB@DN composite system demonstrated a synergistic effect compared to individual components, resulting in a 50% reduction in scratching behavior, an 86% decrease in dermatitis score, and a 60% reduction in epidermal thickening. It also reduced the S. aureus load in mouse skin by approximately 34%, with the optimal effective formulation being PAB at 1 g/L loaded onto DN. ConclusionS. aureus colonization plays a critical driving role in the onset and progression of AD. Using an S. aureus infection model, this study confirmed that the pseudolaric acidB-hydrogel composite delivery system (PAB@DN) can effectively alleviate S. aureus-induced pruritus and skin damage, providing experimental evidence for microbiota-targeted therapy of AD.

It is proposed that cold pathogen plays an important promoting role in the onset and progression of hyperlipidemia. External exposure to cold， the gradual generation of internal cold， and the covert consumption of yang qi caused by modern lifestyle factors may all provide a pathological basis for the development of hyperlipidemia. Based on the pathogenic characteristics of cold， namely its tendency to damage yang， induce stagnation， and cause contraction， this paper suggests that the treatment of hyperlipidemia should focus on warming and tonifying， warming and resolving， and warming and unblocking， respectively. This provides a theoretical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperlipidemia with traditional Chinese medicine.
