Patients with lung cancer experience a heavy symptom burden during the perioperative period, which seriously affects their recovery and quality of life. Traditional symptom management models rely mainly on scheduled ward rounds during hospitalization and outpatient follow-up after discharge. However, they have limitations such as delayed symptom recognition, lack of post-discharge monitoring, and non-quantitative symptom assessment, which often lead to delayed interventions and low patient satisfaction. In recent years, the symptom management model based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) has been increasingly valued in clinical practice. Existing high-level evidence from both domestic and international studies indicates that, through proactive monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote interventions, this model enables dynamic and continuous symptom management and helps improve patient recovery and healthcare experience. As a supplement to routine medical care, the ePRO-based symptom management model aims to enhance the quality of care rather than replace existing medical processes. To promote the standardized application of this model in perioperative lung cancer care, this consensus integrates domestic and international evidence. After multiple rounds of voting by more than 50 experts, it formulates 12 consensus statements covering the three core components, symptom monitoring, alerting, and intervention, to provide scientific and practical recommendations for clinical practice.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system with strong invasiveness and a high metastasis rate.Its morbidity and mortality rank among the top five in the world and the prognosis is closely related to the disease stage.Multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment based on systemic antitumor drugs is generally adopted in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric can-cer,but the prognosis is typically poor.With the in-depth research on the tumor microenvironment,the development of multi-omics technology,and the application of immunotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,the therapeutic effect of advanced gastric can-cer has been initially improved,and immunotherapy has become the most potential of the treatment strategies.Many studies have found that Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection status is closely related to the efficacy of immunotherapy for gastric cancer,especially im-mune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs),but there is not clear whether it has advantages or disadvantages.This article reviews the current research on the efficacy of Hp on ICIs in advanced gastric cancer to provide ideas for further research on the interaction between Hp in-fection and tumor immunotherapy.

Background:
The association of changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) with cognitive function remains unclear. We explored this association using prospective and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies.
Methods:
MetS components including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), systolic blood pressure (SBP), waist circumference (WC), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and triglycerides were measured at baseline and two follow-ups, constructing a MetS index. Immediate, delayed memory recall, and cognitive function along with its dimensions were assessed by immediate 10- word recall test (IWRT) and delayed 10-word recall test (DWRT), and mini-mental state examination (MMSE), respectively, at baseline and follow-ups. Linear mixed-effect model was used. Additionally, the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of MetS was conducted and one-sample MR was performed to assess the causality between MetS and cognitive function.
Results:
Elevated MetS index was associated with decreasing annual change rates (decrease) in DWRT and MMSE scores, and with decreases in attention, calculation and recall dimensions. HDL-C was positively associated with an increase in DWRT scores, while SBP and FPG were negatively associated. HDL-C showed a positive association, whereas WC was negatively associated with increases in MMSE scores, including attention, calculation and recall dimensions. Interaction analysis indicated that the association of MetS index on cognitive decline was predominantly observed in low family income group. The GWAS of MetS identified some genetic variants. MR results showed a non-significant causality between MetS and decrease in DWRT, IWRT, nor MMSE scores.
Conclusion
Our study indicated a significant association of MetS and its components with declines in memory and cognitive function, especially in delayed memory recall.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of total alkaloids of Corydalis Rhizoma (TAC) on the regulation of cuproptosis in rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) based on silence information regulator 1(Sirt1)/tumor protein 53(P53)signaling pathway. METHODS DCM rat model was induced by high-fat and high-sugar diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Thirty-two model rats were randomly divided into model group, TAC low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (7, 10.5, 14 mg/kg), with 8 rats in each group. An additional 8 rats were assigned to normal control group. Related drugs or normal saline were administered intragastrically in each group, once a day, for 4 weeks. After the last medication, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels of the rats were measured. The levels of myocardial creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum and myocardial tissue of rats were all detected. The pathological morphology, fibrosis degree, and Cu2+ deposition of myocardial tissue in rats were observed. The levels of Cu2+ and glutathione (GSH) in myocardial tissue, the expressions of Sirt1/P53 signaling pathway-related proteins [Sirt1, P53, solute carrier family 7 membrane 11 (SLC7A11)], and iron-sulfur cluster-related proteins [ferredoxin 1 (FDX1), lipoic acid synthetase (LIAS), aconitase 2 (ACO2), NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S8 (NDUFS8), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (DLAT), dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase (DLST)], and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were all determined. RESULTS Compared with normal control group, the model group exhibited significantly elevated levels of FBG, CK, CK-MB and LDH in both serum and myocardial tissue, as well as increased 2+ levels of Cu in myocardial tissue and the expression of P53 and HSP70 proteins (P<0.05); the level of GSH and the expression levels of Sirt1, SLC7A11, FDX1, LIAS, ACO2, NDUFS8, DLAT, and DLST proteins in myocardial tissue were all significantly decreased (P<0.05); the myocardial tissue exhibited severe pathological damage, with numerous inflammatory cell infiltrations and significant fibrosis, as well as increased deposition of Cu2+. Compared with model group, most of the above quantitative indicators in rats were significantly reversed in TAC groups (P<0.05); the pathological damage to the myocardial tissue was alleviated, with reduced fibrosis and Cu2+ deposition. CONCLUSIONS TAC can ameliorate DCM in rats, and its mechanism of action may be related to activating the activity of the Sirt1/P53 signaling pathway, promoting the chelation of GSH with Cu2+, and inhibiting cuproptosis of cardiomyocyte.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the causality between reproductive traits and risk of psoriasis by using a large Mendelian randomization (MR) study.
METHODS:
A two-sample MR study was performed using summarized statistics from the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted in reproductive traits, as well as GWAS data on overall psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and psoriasis vulgaris (PV). Besides univariable MR (UVMR), multivariable MR and two-step MR was used to calculate the independent effects and quantify the proportion mediated by education or body mass index (BMI).
RESULTS:
Genetically predicted early age at first sexual intercourse (AFS) led to an increased risk of overall psoriasis [odds ratio ( OR) UVMR: 0.54]; 36.13% of this effect was mediated through BMI and 47.79% through educational attainment. The direct negative casual association between age at first birth (AFB)-PsA was dominant ( OR UVMR: 0.76), with 49.61% proportion of the mediation due to BMI. The mediating effect was found for BMI on the AFS-PV relationship, which accounted for 26.27% of the proportion. AFS was inversely associated with the risk of overall psoriasis and PV, with considerable mediation by BMI and educational attainment.
CONCLUSION
Early AFB may cause a higher risk of PsA, while the AFS-PsA association was fully mediated by BMI.
