Definitive treatment of lung cancer with radiotherapy is challenging, as respiratory motion and anatomical changes can increase the risk of severe off-target effects during radiotherapy. Online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is an evolving approach that enables timely modification of a treatment plan during the interfraction of radiotherapy, in response to physiologic or anatomic variations, aiming to improve the dose distribution for precise targeting and delivery in lung cancer patients. The effectiveness of online ART depends on the seamless integration of multiple components: sufficient quality of linear accelerator-integrated imaging guidance, deformable image registration, automatic recontouring, and efficient quality assurance and workflow. This review summarizes the present status of online ART for lung cancer, including key technologies, as well as the challenges and areas of active research in this field.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and survival prognosis of young female patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on female patients who underwent radical gastrectomy at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between January 2014 and December 2020, with postoperative pathological confirmation of gastric adenocarcinoma. Those aged ≤45 years were defined as the young group (n＝287), and were matched in a 1∶2 ratio by pTNM stage with female patients aged ≥60 years (elderly group, n＝574). Clinicopathological characteristics were compared between the two groups. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and overall survival (OS) rates were assessed by log-rank test. Prognostic factors in the young group were analyzed using Cox regression models. Results Compared to elderly patients, young female gastric cancer patients exhibited a higher prevalence of tumors in the middle third of the stomach and a lower proportion in the upper third of the stomach. Molecular profiling revealed a higher frequency of HER2-low expression and elevated Ki-67 index. Pathologically, these patients were more frequently diagnosed with poorly differentiated or undifferentiated adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma, while Lauren classification showed a predominance of the diffuse type with a lower proportion of the intestinal type (P＜0.05). Stratified analysis showed no significant difference in OS rates between the two groups for stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients; however, among stage Ⅰ patients, the young group had significantly better OS rates than the elderly group (P＝0.037). Multivariate Cox analysis and log-rank test confirmed that pN₃ stage (HR＝3.576, 95%CI 1.652–7.740), stage Ⅲ (HR＝3.581, 95%CI 1.059–12.106), and diffuse type (HR＝2.711, 95%CI 1.316–5.585) were risk factors for poor prognosis in young female gastric cancer patients. Conclusions Young female patients with gastric adenocarcinoma typically present with clinicopathological features such as the diffuse type, poor differentiation, and high proliferation. Moreover, pN₃ stage, stage Ⅲ cancer, and the diffuse type histology are correlated with a poor prognosis in this demographic.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of intestinal obstruction(IO)in patients with laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer(LRRCC).Methods From March 31,2021 to March 31,2024,clinical data of 389 patients with colorectal cancer(CRC)were retrospectively selected.According to whether IO occurred during their postoperative hospitalization,they were divided into the IO group with IO(68 cases)and the non-IO group without IO(321 cases).The clinical data of IO group and non-IO group were compared and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to study the influencing factors of IO in CRC patients undergoing LRRCC.Results The proportions of patients with TNM stage Ⅲ,lymph node metastasis,preoperative anemia,preoperative hypoproteinemia,history of abdominal surgery,preoperative IO,intraoperative fistula,LRRCC with left hemicolectomy(LH),LRRCC with right hemicolectomy(RH),and postoperative abdominal infection in the IO group were higher than those in the non-IO group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that TNM stage Ⅲ(OR＾=1.872,95%CI:1.253～2.798),lymph node metastasis(OR＾=1.808,95%CI:1.181～2.766),preoperative anemia(OR＾=1.900,95%CI:1.051～3.435),preoperative hypoproteinemia(OR＾=1.642,95%CI:1.143～2.360),history of abdominal surgery(OR＾=1.704,95%CI:1.118～2.597),preoperative IO(OR＾=1.857,95%CI:1.064～3.240),intraoperative fistula(OR＾=1.696,95%CI:1.085～2.651),LRRCC with LH(OR＾=1.084,95%CI:1.012～1.161),LRRCC with RH(OR＾=1.164,95%CI:1.070～1.267),postoperative abdominal infection(OR＾=1.904,95%CI:1.019～3.558)were all independent risk factors for IO in patients with CRC after LRRCC(P<0.05).Conclusion TNM stage Ⅲ,lymph node metastasis,preoperative anemia,preoperative hypoproteinemia,history of abdominal operation,preoperative IO,LRRCC with LC,LRRCC with RH,intraoperative fistula and postoperative abdominal infection are independent risk factors for IO in CRC patients after LRRCC.Clinically,relevant high-risk CRC patients can be treated accordingly to reduce the risk of IO.

Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective:This study analyzes the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of early-stage gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (G-MANEC), which is an exceedingly rare malignancy, in an effort to provide evidence-based insights for clinical decision-making.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted using the clinical data of 36 patients with early-stage G-MANEC who underwent surgical resection at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from July 2014 to May 2022. The observed indicators included clinicopathological data and follow-up information on recurrence, metastasis, and overall survival (OS).Results:Among the 36 patients there were 21 males and 15 females, aged 32-84 (65±11) years. The most common initial symptoms were abdominal pain and distension (19/36, 52.8%), followed by incidental findings during physical examinations (7/36, 19.4%). Tumors were located in the proximal stomach in 13 cases (36.1%), the middle stomach in 4 cases (11.1%), and the distal stomach in 19 cases (52.8%). Average tumor diameter was (2.48±1.18) cm. Gross morphology included elevated type in 12 cases (33.3%), flat type in 20 cases (55.6%), and depressed type in 4 cases (11.1%). Ulceration was present in 12 cases (33.3%). There were 11 cases (30.6%) at T1a stage and 25 cases (69.4%) at T1b stage. Lymph node metastasis was positive in 10 cases (27.8%), and the differentiation grades of the adenocarcinoma component were Grade I, II, and III in 3 (8.3%), 10 (27.8%), and 23 (63.9%) cases, respectively. Furthermore, the proportion of neuroendocrine carcinoma component was ≥50% in 18 cases (50.0%) and <50% in 18 cases (50.0%). Lymphovascular or perineural invasion was present in 18 cases (50.0%). Lauren classification included mixed type in 10 cases (27.8%), intestinal type in 19 cases (52.8%), and diffuse type in 7 cases (19.4%), and chromogranin A (CgA) positivity was found in 20 cases (55.6%). Additionally, the Ki-67 index positivity was found in 26 cases (72.2%). Total gastrectomy was performed in 12 cases (33.3%) and partial gastrectomy in 24 cases (66.7%), with a median follow-up duration of 77.5 months. The 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 88.89% and 79.67%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that age, gross morphology, ulceration, proportion of neuroendocrine carcinoma component, lymphovascular or perineural invasion, and chromogranin A (CgA) positivity showed statistical significance in their association with OS ( P<0.10). Multivariate Cox regression analysis further identified ulceration (HR=7.74, 95%CI: 1.24-48.30, P=0.028) and CgA positivity (HR=21.76, 95%CI: 1.86-53.97, P=0.014) as independent risk factors of OS. Conclusions:Patients with early-stage G-MANEC are typically asymptomatic, and those with ulceration or positive CgA immunohistochemical staining tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective:To introduce a surgical technique of " short distances and multi-segment" buried-guiding suture method and its effects in the surgery of early descent of prosthesis after augmentation mammaplasty.Methods:From August 2019 to January 2022, 15 cases of early descent of prosthesis after augmentation mammaplasty due to axillary approach breast augmentation for micromastia were admitted to the Plastic Surgery Department of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital, aged 23-35 years (27.3±3.6) and duration of dislocation from 16 to 35 days (23.8±5.8). There were 12 patients showed unilateral prosthesis drops and 3 patients showed bilateral prosthesis drops. " Short distances and multi-segment" buried-guiding suture method was used to solve the problem, i. e., 2-0 non-absorbable sutures were used to eliminate the lower pole of prosthetic cavity with " short distances and multi-segment" sutures. The distance from the nipple to the midline of the sternum, the distance from the sternotomy to the nipple, the distance from the nipple to the inframammary fold and the distance from the midclavicular point to the inframammary fold were measured bilaterally before and after surgery, and statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the " short distances and multi-segment" buried-guiding suture method for early descent of prosthesis after breast augmentation.Results:All incisions healed by first intention without complications such as hematoma, infection, or scar hyperplasia. 15 patients were followed up for 6-12 months (8.0±1.9). 14 patients were satisfied with the results after surgery, and 1 patient received satisfactory results after secondary surgery. The distance from nipple to inframammary fold was shortened by 0.8-1.4 cm after surgery (1.2±0.2), and the distance from mid-clavicle to inframammary fold was shortened by 1.0-1.6 cm (1.3±0.4), and the differences were statistically significant as compared with the values before surgery ( t=31.17, P<0.05; t=33.78, P<0.05). After surgery, the change in the distance from nipple to sternal was 0.1-0.3 cm (0.16±0.10), and the change in the distance from sternal notch to nipple was 0-0.2 cm (0.12±0.10), and the differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:With the advantages of simple operation, little trauma and no additional incision, the " short distance and multi-stage" buried-guiding suture method in the surgery of early descent of prosthesis after augmentation mammaplasty is worthy of clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To study the repair effect of ephedrine on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced microglia function injury and its mechanism. METHODS Human microglia cells （HMC3） were used as research objects to investigate the effects of different concentrations of ephedrine （75， 150， 300， 600 μg/mL） on the viability and apoptosis of HMC3 cells. HMC3 cells were divided into control group （without drug intervention）， LPS group （1 μg/mL）， ephedrine group （1 μg/mL LPS+300 μg/mL ephedrine）， BAY11-7082 group [1 μg/mL LPS+5 μmol/L nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） pathway inhibitor BAY11-7082]， inhibitor group （1 μg/mL LPS+300 μg/mL ephedrine+5 μmol/L BAY11-7082） and activator group （1 μg/mL LPS+300 μg/mL ephedrine+1 μmol/L NF-κB pathway activator Prostratin）. After 24 hours of drug treatment， cell migration， the levels of soluble interleukin-6（sIL-6）， interleukin-10（IL-10）， superoxide dismutase（SOD）and malondialdehyde（MDA）， and the expressions of NF-κB pathway-related proteins were all detected. RESULTS The viability of HMC3 cells could be increased significantly by 300 μg/mL ephedrine， while the apoptotic rate was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with the control group， the number of migrating cells was increased significantly in the LPS group； the levels of sIL-6 and MDA， the phosphorylation of NF-κB protein were increased significantly， while the levels of IL-10 and SOD were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with the LPS group， the above indexes were reversed significantly in the ephedrine group and BAY11-7082 group （P＜0.05）. Compared with the ephedrine group， the number of migrating cells was decreased significantly in the inhibitor group； the levels of sIL-6 and MDA， the phosphorylation of NF-κB protein were decreased significantly， while the levels of IL-10 and SOD were increased significantly （P＜0.05）. The above indexes were reversed significantly in the activator group （P＜0.05）can repair cell injury by inhibiting LPS induced apoptosis， migration， inflammation and oxidant stress of HMC3 cells， the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting the activity of the NF-κB signaling pathway.
