Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common long-term complication following lung surgery. Its high incidence significantly impacts patients’ quality of life and functional recovery, and imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden. This consensus aims to systematically establish a standardized integrated Chinese and Western medicine diagnostic and treatment framework for chronic post-lung surgery pain (CPLSP). Based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical research and multidisciplinary clinical experience, the working group comprehensively elaborates on core issues regarding CPLSP, including its definition, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical assessment, Western medical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, and integrated strategies. The consensus emphasizes a patient-centered approach, adhering to the principles of multimodality, individualization, and stepwise management, highlighting the synergistic advantages of integrating Chinese and Western medicine throughout the entire perioperative management cycle encompassing "perioperative anti-inflammation, acute analgesia, and chronic rehabilitation." Through systematic literature retrieval and evidence integration, a total of 9 core recommendations were established to provide scientifically sound and clinically practical guidance.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of allergen components of dust mite in children with airway allergic diseases.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. The clinical data of children with dust mite-induced allergic asthma (AA) complicated with allergic rhinitis (AR) or allergic rhinitis who were treated in Department of Allergy,Beijing Children′s Hospital from January 2019 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The spedific IgE (sIgE) levels to Der p1,Der p2,Der p5,Der p7,Der p10,Der p21,Der p23 and Der f1,Der f2 were detected by protein chip method. The distribution of dust mite sensitized components and the sIgE levels in children with different airway allergic diseases and different ages were compared.Results:Among 138 children with airway allergic diseases,there were 97 boys and 41 girls,age (6.86±2.61) years old,and there were 106 cases of AA combined AR (AAAR group) and 32 cases of AR alone (AR group). The sensitization rates of Der p2 was the highest (75.4%,104/138),followed by Der f2 (74.6%,103/138),Der f1 (73.9%,102/138),Der p1 (71.7%,99/138),Der p21 (19.6%,27/138),Der p5 (16.7%,23/138),Der p23 (14.5%,20/138),Der p7 (11.6%,16/138) and Der p10 (2.9%,4/138). The co-sensitization rate of Der p1,Der p2,Der f1 and Der f2 was the highest (31.2%,43/138). There was no significant difference in sensitization rate of dust mites components between AAAR group and AR group(all P>0.05). AAAR group had higher levels of sIgE to Der p23 than AR group [0.1 (0,0.1) IU/ml vs. 0 (0,0.1) IU/ml,Z=-2.819, P=0.005]. There were no significant differences in the positive rate of dust mite components and sIgE levels between children aged≤6 and>6 years old with airway allergic diseases(all P>0.05). Conclusions:Der p1,Der p2,Der f1 and Der f2 are the major components of dust mites sensitizing airway allergic diseases in children. Der p1,Der p2,Der f1 and Der f2 are the main co-sensitizing components in children with dust mite-induced airway allergic diseases. Compared with AR,the sIgE level to Der p23 in children with AAAR is higher.

Objective:To investigate the impact of postoperative complications on adverse outcomes following curative-intent resection for gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods:The multi-center real-world study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 629 patients with GBC, who were admitted to 14 medical centers including The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, from April 2020 to April 2024 were collected. There were 225 males and 404 females, aged (64±10)years. Patients underwent open curative-intent resection for GBC. Observation indicators: (1)surgery, postoperative complica-tions and adverse outcomes; (2) analysis of risk factors affecting postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and population attributable fraction (PAF). Missing data in predictor variables were addressed using multiple imputation with chained equations, while cases with missing outcome variables were addressed using the "multiple imputation then deletion (MID)" strategy. The severity of multicollinearity among independent variables was assessed using the variance inflation factor (VIF) test. Multivariable possion regression models with log link and robust error variance were construc-ted incorporating restricted cubic splines (3 knots) to address nonlinear relationships in continuous variables, calculating adjusted relative risk ( RR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval ( CI). Adjusted PAF was calculated for each imputed dataset using the AF package of R software, with subsequent pooling performed according to Rubin's rules. Results:(1) Surgery, postoperative complications and adverse outcomes. All 629 patients underwent curative-intent resection for GBC, of which 143 cases had postoperative complications, including 68 cases of intra-abdominal ascites, 39 cases of pulmonary infection, 21 cases of bile leakage, 12 cases of intra-abdominal hemorrhage, 11 cases of liver failure, 10 cases of pan-creatic fistula, 10 cases of wound infection, 10 cases of gastroparesis, 7 cases of cholangitis, 7 cases of sepsis. The same patient could have more than one kind of complication. Of 629 patients, there were 19 cases of postoperative 90-day death and 11 cases of missing data, 42 cases with post-operative 90-day reoperation and 7 cases with missing data, 44 cases with postoperative 90-day readmission and 3 cases with missing data, 155 cases with prolonged postoperative hospital stay and 3 cases with missing data. (2) Analysis of risk factors affecting the postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and PAF. Results of multivariate analysis showed that pulmonary infection and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day mortality ( RR=3.74, 12.15, 95% CI as 1.18-11.83, 1.98-74.48, P<0.05). Pulmonary infection demons-trated the highest PAF as 4.61% (95% CI as 3.94%-5.28%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, and intra-abdominal hemorrhage were independent risk factors for post-operative 90-day reoperation ( RR=4.80, 3.62, 3.46, 4.99, 95% CI as 2.49-9.26, 1.42-9.21, 1.34-8.92, 1.55-16.06, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 8.65% (95% CI as 8.22%-9.08%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, bile leakage, and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day readmission ( RR=6.20, 3.33, 14.33, 95% CI as 3.21-11.95, 1.33-8.35, 3.72-55.28, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 9.11% (95% CI as 8.85%-9.37%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, liver failure, and wound infection were independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative hospital stay ( RR=2.29, 2.21, 2.26, 2.14, 3.35, 95% CI as 1.63-3.23, 1.41-3.46, 1.32-3.86, 1.11-4.13, 1.70-6.60, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 6.03% (95% CI as 5.71%-6.35%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Pulmonary infection is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day mortality after curative-intent resection for GBC, while intra-abdominal ascites is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day reoperation, postoperative 90-day readmission, and prolonged postoperative hospital stay.

BackgroundThe adolescent mood disorders become more prevalent, imposing progressively greater perceived and actual caregiving burdens on caregivers, while the current health education resources, delivery formats and training programs remain insufficient in addressing their needs. ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of structured health education on the caregiver burden associated with adolescent mood disorders, thereby informing evidence-based strategies for alleviating the burden. MethodsA total of 195 caregivers of adolescent inpatients with mood disorders admitted to a tertiary general hospital in Mianyang from June 1, 2020 to July 31, 2022 were consecutively enrolled and randomly assigned to either the research group (n=99) or the control group (n=96) using random number table method. Both groups received routine health education. In addition, the research group participated in a structured health education program comprising three modules covering disease knowledge, medication management, coping with family stress, and guidance for daily living. Upon admission, baseline information regarding both caregivers and adolescent inpatients was collected though a self-administered questionnaire. Caregiver Strain Index (CSI) was administered to assess caregiver burden at admission, discharge, and 1, 3 and 6 months post-discharge. A self-designed health education feedback questionnaire was administered on the day of discharge to evaluate caregivers' feedback on the health education. At 6 months post-discharge, data on any hospital readmission were collected. ResultsUltimately, 85 caregivers (85.86%) in the research group and 84 caregivers (87.50%) in the control group completed the study. Generalized estimating equation analysis revealed significant time effects and group-by-time interaction effects on CSI scores between the two groups (Wald χ²=790.347, 10.047, P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of access to disease information, trust preference and core information needs (P>0.05). Additionally, caregivers in the research group reported significantly better understanding of the disease-related knowledge and higher ratings on the effectiveness of health education when compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01). ConclusionIn contrast to routine health education, structured health education may help alleviate caregiving burden among caregivers of adolescents with mood disorders.[Funded by Sichuan Medical Association Project (number, Q190004)]

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of total arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) using a left internal thoracic artery (LITA) combined with bilateral radial arteries (RAs). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with severe multi-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent total arterial OPCABG with a LITA and bilateral RAs at Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from November 2020 to April 2023. Results A total of 24 patients were included, comprising 23 males and 1 female, with a mean age of (53.63±4.33) years. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class was Ⅱ to Ⅲ. The mean number of distal anastomoses was 3.17±0.38. A Y-graft was constructed in 12 patients and sequential grafting was performed in 4 patients. Concomitant procedures included coronary endarterectomy in 1 patient, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation in 10 patients, and thymoma resection in 1 patient. The mean operative time was (308.13±30.39) min, mechanical ventilation time was (15.42±7.42) h, ICU stay was (46.08±27.32) h, and postoperative hospital stay was (11.71±1.90) d. There were no in-hospital deaths. Postoperative complications included one patient of acute renal failure and one patient of cerebral infarction. Pre-discharge color Doppler echocardiography revealed that the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was significantly smaller than before surgery (P<0.05), while the left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening were significantly higher (P<0.05). Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed that all arterial grafts were patent. During a mean follow-up of (14.58±8.75) months, no patients experienced angina recurrence or mortality. Repeat coronary CTA or angiography in 16 patients one year postoperatively confirmed that all arterial grafts remained patent. Conclusion Total arterial OPCABG using a LITA and bilateral RAs is a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe multi-vessel coronary artery disease. For high-risk patients, intraoperative IABP support is recommended.
