Objective To understand the status of body image disturbance and its influencing factors in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), so as to provide a scientific basis for the clinical management of AS. Methods A total of 353 AS patients admitted from January 2022 to December 2024 were selected as research subjects. Chinese version of Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ) was used to investigate the body image disturbance in AS patients. Single factor analysis was performed by t test and analysis of variance, and multiple factors were analyzed by multivariate linear regression. Results The total score of BIDQ in 342 AS patients was (25.01±4.22). Multivariate linear regression analysis results showed that self-paid medical expense, nighttime VAS score and negative emotion PANAS score could positively predict body image disturbance in AS patients (standardized regression coefficient=0.413, 0.413, 0.460, P<0.05), and PSSS score, positive emotion PANAS score and exercise management CDSSM score could negatively predict body image disturbance (standardized regression coefficient=-0.245, -0.134, -0.247, P<0.05). Conclusion The body image disturbance in AS patients is worthy of clinical attention. Nighttime pain, negative emotion and self-paid medical treatment can increase the risk of body image disturbance. Positive emotion, social support and high self-management level of exercise behavior can reduce the formation of body image disturbance, which can provide new ideas for clinical management of AS patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the antitumor activity of Periplaneta americana extract（PAE） against human-derived lung adenocarcinoma organoids（LUAD-PDOs） and to elucidate its potential mechanism based on transcriptomics. MethodsFresh tumor and adjacent normal tissues from patients with LUAD were collected to construct LUAD-PDOs and normal lung organoid（Nor-PDOs） models using 3D organoid culture technology. The effective intervention concentration of PAE was determined using the cell counting kit-8（CCK-8） assay. Experimental groups included the model group（LUAD-PDOs）， normal group， model administration group（LUAD-PDOs+PAE）， and normal administration group（Nor-PDOs+PAE）. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the pathological structures of PDOs， immunohistochemistry（IHC） was performed to detect the expressions of the proliferation marker Ki-67 and lung adenocarcinoma differentiation markers cytokeratin-7（CK-7） and Napsin A， TUNEL staining was applied to detect cell apoptosis. RNA sequencing（RNA-Seq） was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes（DEGs）， followed by Gene Ontology（GO）， Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis（GSEA）， alongside protein-protein interaction（PPI） network analysis to screen core mechanisms. Finally， key targets were validated by integrating external database analysis with immunofluorescence（IF）. ResultsNor-PDOs and LUAD-PDOs that highly recapitulated the pathological characteristics of the primary tissues were successfully established. The CCK-8 assay determined that the effective intervention concentration of PAE was 16 g·L^-1. Morphological observation showed that Nor-PDOs exhibited lumen-forming structures， whereas LUAD-PDOs displayed dense， solid structures. CCK-8 and TUNEL assays revealed that， compared with the model group， PAE intervention inhibited the proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promoted apoptosis in LUAD cells， while showing no significant effect on the viability of Nor-PDOs. Transcriptomic analysis identified 719 DEGs that were significantly reversed after PAE intervention（347 up-regulated and 372 down-regulated）（P<0.05）. GO enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs in the model administration group were significantly enriched in biological processes related to cell cycle regulation compared to the model group. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that PAE affected pathways related to proliferation and metabolism， including pathways in cancer and the p53 signaling pathway. GSEA further confirmed that PAE significantly enhanced the activity of the p53 signaling pathway（P<0.05）. PPI network analysis indicated that breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein（BRCA1） and checkpoint kinase 1（CHEK1） were the core down-regulated targets in the p53 pathway. IF verified the high expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 in LUAD-PDOs and their significant downregulation after PAE intervention（P<0.05）. Furthermore， survival analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas（TCGA） database indicated that low expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 was significantly associated with prolonged overall survival in patients with LUAD（P<0.05）. ConclusionPAE effectively inhibits proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promotes their apoptosis， its anti-tumor mechanism is potentially associated with the activation of the p53 signaling pathway， with BRCA1 and CHEK1 genes likely serving as key downstream targets for the effects of PAE.

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.

Definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) has become a cornerstone in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal cancer; however, local control remains suboptimal, and persistent lesions or locoregional recurrences after treatment are not uncommon. For patients without distant metastases but with local failure, whether surgical intervention can still offer curative potential remains a major clinical dilemma. Salvage esophagectomy (SE) offers potential long-term survival for selected patients, but this procedure is performed in the context of severe fibrosis, impaired local blood supply, and obscured anatomical planes following chemoradiotherapy, resulting in significantly higher perioperative risk compared to primary esophagectomy. Consequently, controversies exist regarding patient selection, preoperative restaging, choice of surgical approach, extent of lymphadenectomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction, and perioperative management. In recent years, with the refinement of restaging modalities such as PET/CT, the accumulation of experience in high-volume centers, and emerging evidence from clinical studies, the clinical role of SE has gradually shifted from a "high-risk salvage measure" to a "selective curative strategy aimed at achieving long-term survival in carefully selected patients". Nevertheless, standardized guidelines for patient selection, technical approaches, and perioperative management are still lacking. Based on current evidence and clinical experience, experts organized by the Integrated Esophageal Cancer Committee of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association systematically reviewed key issues regarding SE, including its definition, indications, preoperative evaluation, choice of surgical approach, lymphadenectomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction, and perioperative management, and formulated a Chinese expert consensus. This consensus aims to provide guidance for standardized assessment, appropriate referral, individualized surgical decision-making, and optimized perioperative management of patients with locoregional failure after dCRT. Ultimately, this will increase the likelihood of R0 resection, reduce the risk of severe complications, and promote the safer, more judicious, and standardized implementation of SE in high-risk scenarios.

Platelets play a crucial role in hemostasis and thrombosis. They have a complex and active metabolic system, particularly regarding lipid metabolism. The active and intricate lipid metabolism within platelets plays a central role in platelet activation, signal transduction, and functional regulation, making it crucial for studying the pathophysiological mechanisms of diseases. The platelet membrane structure is highly complex and it contains various lipids, including phospholipids, sphingolipids, cholesteryl esters, and triglycerides, etc. Current research has elucidated multiple metabolic pathways in platelets, such as phospholipid and sphingolipid metabolism, which profoundly influence platelet aggregation, release, and inflammatory responses. Upon activation, platelets release various lipids that interact with inflammatory cells in a paracrine manner. This review systematically describes the key lipid metabolism in platelets and its dynamic functional regulation. Lipid metabolism regulates processes such as platelet production, aging, and activation. This review emphasizes the interaction between lipid droplets and mitochondria, which is closely related to platelet activation. For instance, platelet-derived extracellular vesicles can transfer dysfunctional mitochondria from platelets to hepatocytes, leading to the dysfunction of lipid droplet-bound mitochondria and abnormal lipid droplet metabolism, thereby affecting hepatic lipid metabolism. The review summarizes interactions between platelet lipid metabolism and other cells, including leukocytes, erythrocytes, and lymphocytes. However, there are few studies on the interactions between platelets and cells through lipid metabolism, and the direct evidence is scarce. Further research is recommended in the future. It further explores the relationships between platelet lipid metabolism and the reproductive system, musculoskeletal system, the central nervous system, and the gut microbiota. Additionally, it reviews the close associations between platelet lipid metabolism and diseases such as diabetes, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, immune thrombocytopenia, metabolic syndrome, and thrombotic disorders (thromboembolic diseases). For example, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), typically characterized by reproductive impairment, may be associated with enhanced platelet activation and elevated phospholipase A2 activity in patients with APS. Moreover, lipid metabolism in the bone marrow microenvironment can promote platelet production. Under cellular stress, platelets transfer mitochondria to macrophages; in the spinal cord injury model, this process can regulate energy and lipid metabolism, leading to nerve and myelin regeneration and ultimately promoting the recovery of motor function. These findings indicate that modulating energy and lipid metabolism can influence platelet function, suggesting that targeting platelet lipid metabolism may provide a direction for disease treatment. Furthermore, the review covers the research on platelet lipid metabolism and related drugs, including traditional Chinese medicines and natural products. As the first selective 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) inhibitor to enter clinical trials, ML355 will facilitate future research on the biology of 12-LOX and its effects on regulation of platelet activity, hemostasis, and thrombosis, and promote the discovery of structure-based drugs. However, research on platelets and lipid metabolism still faces numerous challenges. For example, lipid droplet-mitochondria interaction in the liver regulates lipid metabolism. Meanwhile, there is controversy over whether autophagy serves a protective function or promotes the occurrence of liver disease. It is speculated that the interaction between mitochondrial autophagy and lipid droplets may be a future research direction. The precise regulatory mechanism of lipid metabolism and how to develop novel antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory drugs with high specificity and low side effects by targeting lipid metabolism remain current challenges. In summary, this review provides a comprehensive overview of platelet lipid metabolism, its interactions with other cells, and its roles in organ function and diseases. This contributes to the discovery of new disease-specific lipid biomarkers and drug targets. Future research could focus on structural modifications of drugs targeting lipid metabolism to enhance selectivity, offering directions for improving safety and efficacy, and developing the most effective individualized treatment plans for patients.

Abstract To clarify the service targets, service contents, and safeguard mechanisms of the basic public service program for student vision health management, the study grounded in the current status of child and adolescent myopia prevention and control in China and integrated with the practical experience and innovative practices of Wuhan National Demonstration Area for Student Vision Health Management, takes education as the main thread and schools as the base, consolidating resources from multiple stakeholders including education administrative departments, schools, families, and professional technical service institutions. Centering on four core components—vision health education, monitoring and record keeping, risk prevention and control, and dynamic management, the study constructs a multi tiered basic public service system for vision health management of primary and secondary school students. It further proposes the use of an intelligent management platform and a "three tier color coded early warning" mechanism (red, yellow, blue) to prevent and control student myopia at the source, providing schools with replicable and operable implementation pathways to enhance the level of student vision health management.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Zhinao capsules in the treatment of mild and moderate sleep disorders in Alzheimer's disease patients with the syndrome of spleen-kidney deficiency and combined phlegm and stasis. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo， controlled clinical trial design was adopted， and 60 Alzheimer's disease patients aged 50-85 years with mild and moderate sleep disorders due to spleen-kidney deficiency and combined phlegm and stasis were included. According to the randomized numble table method， the patients were assigned into a treatment group and a control group （30 in each group， with 29 patients in the treatment group and 28 patients in the control group finally completing the trial）. The treatment group was treated with donepezil hydrochloride tablets combined with Zhinao capsules， and the control group was treated with donepezil hydrochloride tablets combined with the simulant of Zhinao capsules for 12 weeks. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index （PSQI）， smart bracelet sleep monitoring， epworth sleeping scale （ESS）， Mini-Mental State Examination （MMSE）， Activities of Daily Living （ADL）， and traditional Chinese medicine symptoms were scored. Furthermore， the brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） and gamma-aminobutyric acid （GABA） levels were measured. ResultsAfter 12 weeks of treatment， the total response rate of clinical efficacy assessment in the treatment group reached 89.7%， which was significantly higher than that （21.4%） in the control group （Z=-5.14， P<0.01）. After treatment， the TCM symptom scores declined in both groups （P<0.01）， and the scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.01）. After treatment， the treatment group showed decreased total score and seven component scores of the PSQI scale （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. After treatment， the treatment group showed increases in the duration of deep sleep， light sleep， rapid eye movement sleep， and total sleep at night and decreases in the time to fall asleep， the number of awakenings from sleep at night， and the time for sporadic daytime naps （P<0.01）. The control group did not show significant changes in the duration of light sleep， time to fall asleep， and number of awakenings from sleep at night. Moreover， the treatment group outperformed the control group in terms of the indicators above （P<0.05， P<0.01）. After treatment， the treatment group showed decreased scores of ESS， ADL and its subscales physical self-maintenance scale （PSMS）， and Instrumental Activities of daily living scale （IADLs） and increased score of MMSE and levels of BDNF and GABA （P<0.05， P<0.01）. There was no significant difference in PSMS between the two groups， and the treatment group was significantly better than the control group in terms of the rest of the above indicators （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Patients in neither groups complained of uncomfortable symptoms. ConclusionZhinao capsules have significant clinical efficacy in treating patients with mild and moderate sleep disorders in Alzheimer's disease patients with the syndrome of spleen-kidney deficiency and combined phlegm and stasis. Zhinao capsules can significantly reduce PSQI， ESS， and ADL scores， increase the MMSE score and the expression of BDNF and GABA， effectively optimize the structure of sleep， improve the intelligence， and enhance the ability of daily life， without causing uncomfortable symptoms. The mechanism may be related to the increase in the expression of sleep/wake-related neurotransmitters.

Background Amid global climate change, extreme environmental events are occurring more frequently, and it is imperative to investigate the impacts of combined exposure to fine particluate matter (PM_2.5) and cold spells (CS) on population mortality. Objective To analyze the association between sequential extreme PM_2.5-cold spell (EP-CS) events and non-accidental mortality among residents in Zigong City from 2016 to 2021. Methods Using time-series study design, meteorological data in Zigong were collected from the Zigong Meteorological Bureau for the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2021, while daily non-accidental mortality data were obtained from the mortality surveillance system of the Zigong Center for Disease Control and Prevention. We adopted the percentile method to define extreme PM_2.5 events and cold spells. We analyzed the risk effect of EP-CS events on non-accidental mortality among residents in this city and explored the potential amplification of damage resulting from different patterns of consecutive extreme events by using distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM). We also conducted stratified analyses based on age, gender, education level, and marital status. Results The EP-CS events demonstrated a significant impact on non-accidental mortality among the local residents, exhibiting a certain lagged effect. The effects on the overall residents lasted from lag0 (RR=1.030, 95%CI: 1.013, 1.048) to lag14 (RR=1.035, 95%CI: 1.019, 1.052). Notably, the effects were more pronounced among females, individuals aged 65 years and above, and those who were never married, divorced, or widowed. Different patterns of EP-CS events all associated with adverse effects, the health impact of EP-CS events was significantly greater than that of individual PM_2.5 pollution or CS events. The analysis of lag effects across different event patterns revealed that the overall effect of EP-CS events with shorter intervals (0–7 d) had a stronger effect compared to EP-CS with longer intervals (8–14 d), and the RR values of lag14 were 1.034 (95%CI: 1.015, 1.054) and 1.017 (95%CI: 1.007, 1.027), suggesting that the damaging effect of compound events occurring in the short term was more significant. Conclusion All sequential extreme EP-CS events have an impact on non-accidental mortality among residents in this city, with compound events demonstrating a stronger effect. Females, individuals aged ≥65 years, and those who were never married, divorced, or widowed are more sensitive to EP-CS events.
