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 explore the relationship between 24 h movement behaviors and mobile phone addiction among higher vocational college students, and to examine the mediating role of fear of missing out (FoMO), so as to provide a basis for developing intervention measures for mobile phone addiction.
Methods:
Using convenience sampling, a questionnaire survey was conducted from March to June 2023 among 1 962 students from 12 higher vocational colleges across Beijing, Shandong Province, Fujian Province, and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Assessments were performed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-S), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS), and Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOs). Compositional data analysis and the Bootstrap method were utilized to test the mediating effects.
Results:
The detection rate of high risk mobile phone addiction among higher vocational college students was 33.2 %. Compositional regression results showed that in the isometric log ratio (ilr) coordinate space, a relative increase in sedentary behavior was significantly associated with an increase in mobile phone addiction and FoMO levels ( B =26.06, 13.44); a relative increase in sleep was significantly associated with a decrease in mobile phone addiction and FoMO levels ( B =-13.53, -6.60 ); a relative increase in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was significantly associated with a decrease in mobile phone addiction and FoMO levels ( B =-4.92, -2.18) (all P <0.01). The associations between light physical activity and mobile phone addiction or FoMO levels were not statistically significant ( B =-0.71, 0.27, both P >0.05). FoMO played a significant partial mediating role in the relationships between sedentary behavior, sleep, MVPA, and mobile phone addiction, with indirect effects of 7.54, -4.07, and -2.35, accounting for 28.93%, 30.04%, and 47.72% of the total effects, respectively. The isotemporal substitution model predicted that replacing 15 min of sedentary behavior with 15 min of sleep daily would result in the largest reduction in mobile phone addiction scores among higher vocational college students (0.78 scores).
Conclusions
Structural imbalance in 24 h movement behaviors among higher vocational college students is associated with mobile phone addiction, and FoMO plays a partial mediating role. Reducing sedentary behavior, ensuring adequate sleep, and increasing MVPA may help lower the risk of mobile phone addiction.

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

ObjectiveTo carry out a health technology assessment (HTA) of acupuncture for secondary dysmenorrhea (SD) caused by adenomyosis and endometriosis, in order to provide a reference for relevant medical decision-making. MethodsFrom the perspective of the health system, the assessment covers seven areas, including the technical characteristics, safety, effectiveness, economics, ethical fairness, organizational adaptability, and impact on patients and society. The results are reported accordingly. ResultsThe operational specifications of acupuncture are standardized, and the conditions for its use are clearly defined. Acupuncture has a lower overall incidence of adverse events. The main adverse events are localized pain, subcutaneous bleeding, and dizziness, with most symptoms being mild, all of which have corresponding standard treatments. No reports on occupational or environmental safety were found, and the safety operation specifications are available for reference. Compared with conventional Western medicine, acupuncture demonstrates higher effectiveness. Acupuncture may improve the quality of life scores of patients, though no significant difference was observed. The cost of acupuncture is higher than that of conventional Western medicine, but its overall economic value is greater. The informed consent information is relatively comprehensive. Most patients are aware of the potential benefits and risks of acupuncture and voluntarily opt for it. The treatment process fully respects patient privacy and human rights. The clinical application of acupuncture follows the current acupuncture medical service model, with no special requirements for the level of medical institutions. Patient accessibility and affordability are suitable. Patient satisfaction is high. Most patients indicated they would choose acupuncture again for SD. The main barriers to choosing acupuncture are psychological factors (such as fear of acupuncture), cost, and transportation issues. Nearly 70% of patients receiving acupuncture treatment benefit from medical insurance reimbursement, with reimbursement rates generally above 50%, indicating strong social security support. ConclusionThe implementation of HTA for acupuncture in the treatment of SD, using the standards for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is feasible. The implementation steps are clear, the data sources for each evaluation domain are adequate, the analysis methods are practical, and the evaluation results are comprehensive. Experts recommend that the findings be used as a reference for relevant medical decision-making.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a life-threatening gastrointestinal disorder for which no effective pharmacological treatments are currently available. One of the pharmacological targets that merits further research is the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), which is found on pancreatic acinar cells and responds to the neuropeptide substance P (SP) that participates in AP. Although a few studies have stated the involvement of SP/NK1R in neurogenic inflammation in AP development, the regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we found that following activation of NK1R by SP, β-arrestin1, a scaffold protein of NK1R, down-regulated transcription of Adss, Adsl, and Ampd in the purine nucleotide cycle, thereby inhibiting mitochondrial function through fumarate depletion. Interestingly, we identified magnolol as a new and natural NK1R inhibitor with a non-nitrogenous biphenyl core structure. It exhibited a beneficial effect on AP by restoring purine nucleotide cycle metabolic enzymes and fumarate levels. Our study not only provides new therapeutic strategies, leading compounds, and drug translation possibilities for AP, but also provides important clues for the study of downstream mechanisms driven by SP in other diseases.
