With the rapid development of the biopharmaceutical field, the efficient and simultaneous extraction of multiple biological components from biological samples has become a critical process for advancing scientific research. The ability to simultaneously extract various molecular components such as metabolites, DNA, RNA, and proteins is pivotal for multi-omics studies, which aim to comprehensively understand the molecular mechanisms of biological systems. Traditional methods often extract these components separately, leading to challenges such as sample loss, time consumption, contamination, and inconsistencies across different data types. In contrast, simultaneous extraction techniques address these issues by maintaining the consistency of each biological component’s physiological state, improving data reliability and facilitating integration across omic platforms. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in simultaneous extraction technologies, focusing on methods such as methanol/chloroform extraction, TRIzol reagent extraction, and modified Folch extraction, which have shown significant promise in improving the efficiency and integrity of biological sample preparation. These methods offer various advantages, such as reduced sample volume requirements, decreased contamination risk, and enhanced extraction consistency, which are crucial for studies involving small sample sizes or precious clinical specimens. Among these, methanol/chloroform extraction stands out for its simplicity, low cost, and ability to extract a wide range of biological molecules. However, it does face limitations, such as its inefficiency in extracting lipids and potential RNA contamination. On the other hand, the TRIzol reagent method has become a widely adopted technique due to its ability to simultaneously isolate RNA, proteins, and metabolites from the same sample. Despite its effectiveness, the TRIzol method has limitations in RNA quality, especially when handling complex samples or those with high protein content. Modified Folch extraction, which combines liquid-liquid extraction with commercial kits, offers a highly efficient way to extract polar metabolites, lipids, RNA, DNA, and proteins from small tissue samples. This method has proven advantageous in terms of extraction yield, especially for challenging or rare samples, although it requires precise handling to avoid cross-contamination between phases. The integration of automated platforms, microfluidics, and high-throughput systems is another exciting avenue for improving simultaneous extraction. Automation facilitates large-scale, reproducible sample processing with minimal human error, while microfluidics provides high precision in sample handling and enables real-time monitoring of extraction efficiency. These innovations not only enhance the speed and reproducibility of sample preparation but also open new possibilities for single-cell analysis, where sample volumes are often limited, and extraction efficiency is critical. In addition to the technical aspects, the review also highlights the importance of optimizing extraction protocols for specific sample types, such as clinical tissues, plants, and microorganisms. For example, the challenge of extracting multiple components from cancer tissues, where sample degradation and contamination risks are high, can be mitigated by carefully selecting extraction reagents and minimizing sample handling steps. Similarly, in plant studies, where metabolite diversity is vast, the simultaneous extraction methods must be optimized to account for the unique composition of plant tissues, which often include complex secondary metabolites and cell wall components. Looking forward, the development of more efficient and standardized simultaneous extraction methods will be crucial for advancing multi-omics research. There is a growing need for protocols that can be tailored to specific research needs, ensuring both reproducibility and flexibility in diverse applications. Additionally, combining these extraction methods with high-resolution analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and next-generation sequencing will further enhance the potential of multi-omics studies to provide comprehensive insights into biological systems. As these technologies continue to evolve, their application in personalized medicine, environmental research, and agriculture holds great promise for addressing critical scientific challenges. In conclusion, while simultaneous extraction technologies have made significant strides, several challenges remain in optimizing extraction efficiency, ensuring reproducibility, and reducing costs. Future research should focus on refining extraction protocols, developing innovative extraction reagents, and expanding the scope of these methods to cater to a broader range of biological samples. Ultimately, the continued integration of these advanced techniques will revolutionize the way biological samples are prepared, analyzed, and understood in the context of multi-omics research.

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 investigate the heterogeneity of PD-L1 expression profiles between primary tumors and paired metastatic lymph nodes in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to determine the predictive value of key immune marker expression for the efficacy of first-line targeted therapy and chemotherapy. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 128 patients with histologically confirmed NSCLC and corresponding metastatic lymph nodes, who received first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or platinum-based doublet chemotherapy at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital between April 2017 and February 2020. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to evaluate PD-L1 expression in primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to compare PD-L1 expression characteristics between primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed, and the Log-rank test was used to compare differences between groups. ResultsAmong 28 paired cases, PD-L1 expression levels were numerically higher in metastatic lymph nodes than in primary NSCLC tumors (median:32.5 vs. 10.0), although the difference did not reach statistical significance (MD = 5.000, P = 0.083). Survival analysis revealed that in patients with driver gene-positive NSCLC, high PD-L1 expression (TPS ≥ 50%) in lymph nodes was significantly associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) following first-line TKI therapy [median PFS:4.0(TPS≥50%) vs. 8.9(1%≤TPS<50%) vs. 18.0 (TPS<1%) months, χ2=15.284, P<0.001]. Conversely, in patients with driver gene-negative NSCLC, high PD-L1 expression in lymph nodes was associated with longer PFS [median PFS:7.9 (TPS≥50%) vs. 3.0 (1%≤TPS<50%)months, χ2=8.436, P=0.004] and overall survival (OS) [median OS:28.8 (TPS≥50%) vs. 14.2 ( 1%≤TPS<50%) months, χ2=4.010, P=0.045] after first-line chemotherapy. ConclusionPD-L1 expression in metastatic lymph nodes is largely consistent with that in primary tumors of patients with advanced NSCLC. High PD-L1 expression in lymph nodes is associated with improved survival outcomes in driver gene-negative patients undergoing chemotherapy, whereas it portends a poor prognosis with TKI treatment in driver gene-positive patients. These findings support the application of PD-L1 expression levels in metastatic lymph nodes to guide personalized precision medicine strategies for advanced NSCLC.

Objective:
To evaluate the feasibility of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in differentiating tumor deposits (TDs) from metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) in rectal cancer.
Materials and Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with rectal cancer, including 168 lesions (70 TDs and 98 MLNs confirmed by histopathology), who underwent pretreatment MRI and subsequent surgery between March 2019 and December 2022. The morphological characteristics of TDs and MLNs, along with quantitative parameters derived from DCE-MRI (K trans , kep, and v e) and DWI (ADCmin, ADCmax, and ADCmean), were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Multivariable binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to assess the diagnostic performance of significant individual quantitative parameters and combined parameters in distinguishing TDs from MLNs.
Results:
All morphological features, including size, shape, border, and signal intensity, as well as all DCE-MRI parameters showed significant differences between TDs and MLNs (all P < 0.05). However, ADC values did not demonstrate significant differences (all P > 0.05). Among the single quantitative parameters, v e had the highest diagnostic accuracy, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.772 for distinguishing TDs from MLNs. A multivariable logistic regression model incorporating short axis, border, v e, and ADC mean improved diagnostic performance, achieving an AUC of 0.833 (P = 0.027).
Conclusion
The combination of morphological features, DCE-MRI parameters, and ADC values can effectively aid in the preoperative differentiation of TDs from MLNs in rectal cancer.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of the evaluation of military physical function(EMPF)system in predicting the occurrence of military training injuries among new recruits to provide scientific guidance and methodological choice for military training.Methods A total of 527 new recruits from 5 grassroots units from July 2016 to February 2018 were selected for the study.The recruits underwent EMPF testing,and their military training injuries were monitored over a 2-year follow-up period.Those who sustained injuries during training were divided into injury group(n=163),while the remaining recruits were placed in healthy group(n=364).The predictive ability of the total EMPF score for training injuries was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC),and the correlation between the total EMPF score,individual test scores,and military training injuries were analyzed using binary logistic regression.Results The total EMPF score of new recruits in injury group(19.52±1.97)was significantly lower than that of healthy group(24.31±1.54)(P<0.001),which also demonstrated a high diagnostic value in predicting the risk of military training injuries,with an area under the curve(AUC)of ROC of 0.971(P<0.001).A cut-off value of 22 scores was found to have the highest accuracy in predicting future training injuries,with an odds ratio(OR)of 25.63,sensitivity of 0.939,specificity of 0.879,positive likelihood ratio of 7.76,and a post-test probability of 0.67.Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that 6 EMPF tests,including holding the ball over and leaning back,bending forward and touching the ground with the ball,lunge squat and twist,swallow balance with holding the ball afterward,vertical jump,and respiratory pattern assessment,were negatively associated with the risk of military training injuries(P<0.0001).Conclusion The EMPF system can effectively predict the risk of military training injuries,with military personnel whose total EMPF score is less than 22 being at higher risk of sustaining such injuries.
