With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of valve-in-valve transcatheter mitral valve replacement(ViV-TMVR)in patients with bioprosthetic valve degeneration who are at high surgical risk.Methods This study is a multi-center,retrospective cohort analysis of 20 consecutive patients who underwent transseptal ViV-TMVR using the Edwards SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve(THV).The primary endpoints include technical success and procedural success,both defined according to the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium(MVARC)criteria,as well as mortality and functional change assessed based on New York Heart Association(NYHA)classification at 30-days and six months post-procedure.Clinical follow-up assessments are conducted at 30-days and six months.Results From February 2021 to October 2022,a total of 20 patients with symptoms of bioprosthetic valve degeneration were enrolled across nine sites in China.The patients had a mean age of(73.5±5.5)years,with 85.0％being females and 70.0％classified as NYHA class Ⅲ/Ⅳ.The study achieved a 100.0％technical success rate and a 90.0％procedural success rate finally.All patients remained alive during the 30-day follow-up period.However,six months post-intervention,two patients(10.0％)were re-hospitalized due to heart failure,and sadly,one of them(5.0％)died.None of the patients reported any adverse events related to ViV-TMVR during the follow-up period.Notably,there was a significant improvement in NYHA class compared to baseline(P=0.0004)at six-month follow-ups.Conclusions The transseptal ViV-TMVR technique proved to be highly successful and was associated with significant improvement in NYHA class function.These findings strongly suggest that it serves as a safe and efficient treatment alternative for high-risk patients suffering from bioprosthetic valve degeneration.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on postoperative delirium (POD) in diabetic patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, 92 diabetic patients of either sex, aged 30-80 yr, with a body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=46 each) using a table of random numbers: control group (group C) and acupuncture group (group A). Group A received acupuncture at the Baihui (GV20), Shenting (GV24) and Sishencong (EX-HN1) acupoints before anesthesia. The needles were retained for 30 min, with manual stimulation applied every 10 min for 10 s each time. After 4 stimulations, routine anesthesia was carried out. Group C received routine anesthesia only. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation was recorded on admission to the operating room (T 0), after anesthesia induction (T 1), at the start of surgery (T 2), at the end of surgery (T 3), and immediately after tracheal extubation (T 4). The POD developed within 3 days after surgery was assessed. The occurrence of needle-related adverse effects such as fainting, subcutaneous bleeding, and local paresthesia was recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the incidence of POD was significantly reduced, and the regional cerebral oxygen saturation was increased at T 1, 4 in group A ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Acupuncture can decrease the development of POD in diabetic patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia, which is related to an increase in regional cerebral oxygen saturation.

Objective:To explore the value of using computed tomography(CT)values to distinguish fresh and old fractures vertebral bodies in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCF).Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 101 OVCF patients in our hospital from September 2022 to September 2023.Kappa test for consistency between magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and vertebral CT values in distinguished fresh or old OVCF.The difference of CT values between fresh,old fractures and adjacent normal vertebral bodies were compared.The diagnostic efficiency was analyed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:There was a high consistency between vertebral CT values and MRI in the diagnosis of OVCF in fresh and old fractures(Kappa value=0.934).There was a difference in difference of CT values between adjacent normal vertebral bodies and fresh fractures vertebral bodies(P＜0.05).There was a difference in difference of CT values of fresh fractures vertebral bodies and old fractures vertebral bodies(P＜0.05).The ROC curve analysis results showed that,the combined measurement of CT values of fresh and old fractured vertebral bodies has an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.723,which was higher than alone measurement of the CT values of fresh fractured vertebral bodies and old fractured vertebral bodies of 0.536 and 0.610(Z=2.548,2.605,2.841,P＜0.05).Conclusion:CT values of vertebral bodies show high consistency in distinguish fresh and old fractures of OVCF compared to MRI findings,and the diagnostic efficiency of combine detection is relatively high.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of conventional computed tomography(CT)combined with enhanced CT scan in bone metastases.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study,84 suspected bone metastases patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to August 2024 were selected,All patients underwent conventional CT and enhanced CT scan and pathological examination,Using pathological examination results as the"gold standard"for diagnosis.The imaging manifestations of bone metastases using conventional CT combined with enhanced CT scan examination were observed;The detection rate and bone metastases types of conventional CT and enhanced CT scan were analyzed;The bone metastases location in different types of malignant tumors were analyzed;The detection results of bone metastases between conventional CT and enhanced CT scan were compared;the diagnostic efficacy of conventional CT and enhanced CT scan alone and in combination for bone metastases were analyzed by Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:The detection rate of osteogenic,osteolytic,cystic and mixed bone metastases by conventional CT combined with enhanced CT scan was supered to that of conventional CT and enhanced CT scan alone(P＜0.05).Bone metastases from lung cancer,breast cancer and other tumors mainly occur in the spine,limbs and ribs,while esophageal cancer,gastric cancer,liver cancer,prostate cancer,thyroid cancer,renal cancer,and nasopharyngeal cancer had relatively fewer bone metastases.The positive detection cases of bone metastases used conventional CT combined with enhanced CT scan were supered to those used conventional CT and enhanced CT scan alone.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of conventional CT combined with enhanced CT scan for the diagnosis of bone metastases were 94.00％,94.11％and 94.04％,respectively,and the positive/negative predictive values were 95.91％and 91.42％,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of conventional CT scan were 84.00％,78.78％and 80.95％,respectively,and the positive/negative predictive values were 85.71％and 74.28％,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of enhanced CT were 89.79％,85.71％and 88.09％,respectively.and the positive and negative predictive values were 89.79％and 85.71％,respectively.The diagnostic efficacy of conventional CT combined with enhanced CT scan for bone metastases was significantly better than that of conventional CT and enhanced CT scan alone.Conclusions:Conventional CT combined with enhanced CT scan can significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency of bone metastases,and provide an important basis for clinical treatment.

Objective To assess the efficacy of clear lens extraction combined with extended depth of focus(EDOF)intraocular lens(IOL)implantation in enhancing visual quality and concurrently opening peripheral angle structures in patients diagnosed with primary angle closure suspect(PACS)and presbyopia.Methods A total of 80 patients with PACS,presbyopia,and transparent lenses were enrolled and divided into two groups based on the type of implanted lens:a control group(n=46)and an experimental group(n=34).The control group underwent clear lens extraction followed by monofocal intraocular lens implantation,while the experimental group underwent clear lens extraction followed by extended depth of focus(EDOF)intraocular lens implantation.Preoperative and postoperative evaluations at 3 months included visual acuity,intraocular pressure,anterior segment structure,defocus curve,and Catquest 9SF-CN questionnaire scores.Adverse events were recorded to assess safety.Results Regarding the angular structure,after 3 months of treatment,results indicated significant increases in central ante-rior chamber depth,angle opening distance at 750 μ m,angle recess area at 750 μ m,trabecular-iris space area at 750 μm,and trabecular-iris angle at 750 μm in both groups compared to preoperative values(all P<0.01).However,no significant differences were observed between the two groups(all P>0.05).For the defocusing curve,visual acuity in the experimental group improved from+1.0 D to-4.0 D after 3 months of treatment(all P<0.05),while the control group showed improvements at+0.5 D,-0.5 D,-1.0 D,-2.0 D,-3.0 D,-3.5 D,and-4.0 D(all P<0.05).Postoperatively at 3 months,the experimental group exhibited superior visual acuity to the control group at-1.0 D to-4.0 D(all P<0.05).According to the Catquest 9SF-CN scale,scores in both groups significantly im-proved after 3 months of treatment(P<0.01),with the experimental group scoring higher than the control group(P<0.01).During the study,transient intraocular pressure elevation occurred in 7 patients(3 in the control group and 4 in the experimental group),but no serious adverse reactions were reported in either group.Conclusions In patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma combined with presbyopia,significant improvements in angle structures were observed following clear lens extraction.The implantation of an EDOF IOL notably enhanced postoperative visual quality compared to monofocal IOLs.

Objective:To explore the anti-reflux effect of transverse fan-shaped groin formed (TFGF) when the residual stomach is large (the small curvature ≥10 cm).Methods:Twenty-four patients with residual curvature ≥10 cm after PG were treated with TFGF continuously from Nov 2020 to Dec 2023 in this study. The cohort included 20 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and 4 patients with achalasia of cardia. Reflux disease questionnaire score gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire score and gastroscopy Los Angeles score were used to evaluate the anti-reflux effect and postoperative nutritional parameters (hemoglobin, protein and body weight).Results:The reconstructive operation time of adenocarcinoma of the esophago-gastric junction and achalasia of cardia was (20.0±5.1) min and (18.3±4.7) min, respectively. reflux disease questionnaire, gastro-esophageal reflux disease questionnaire and gastroscopy indicated GERD in 3 patients and 8% in 2 patients at 24 months. At follow-up, one patient transitioned from grade B to grade C based on the Los Angeles score at 12 months; 24 months after surgery, one patient's gastroesophageal reflux symptoms resolved and the Los Angeles rating was downgraded from B to A. Nutritional indicators (hemoglobin, protein and body weight levels) all showed a downward trend at 6 months and an upward trend at 24 months.Conclusion:TFGF has the advantages of simple operation, and effective prevention of postoperative gastroesophageal reflux for patients with lesser residual curvature ≥10 cm after PG.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Objective:To analyze the grassroots diseases category policy of DIP,explore the influencing mechanism on patient flow,and provide references for other DIP reform pilot regions.Methods:It conducts game theory analysis on the service supply behaviors of different medical institutions under the grassroots diseases category policy,and reveals the reasons affecting the role of grassroots diseases category.Results:Research has found that grassroots diseases can weaken the siphonage of tertiary institutions,but the prerequisite is to establish reasonable disease payment standards;there is a competitive relationship among secondary medical institutions,and secondary medical institutions will still exacerbate grassroots siphonage;the supervision and assessment mechanism for grassroots diseases is not sound,making it difficult to avoid the unreasonable medical service behavior of medical institutions under grassroots diseases.Conclusion:It is needed to further optimize the formulation of payment standards for grassroots diseases in medical insurance departments,consider adding grassroots diseases to primary medical institutions and resolving competitive conflicts between primary and secondary medical institutions,improve the supervision and assessment mechanism for grassroots diseases to prevent unreasonable medical service behavior.
