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.

OBJECTIVE To identify the active components of Desmodium styracifolium （Osb.） Merr. extract （DME） against cholestatic liver injury （CLI）， and to verify its target and molecular mechanism， so as to provide scientific evidence for the clinical application of D.styracifolium （Osb.） Merr. and the development of new hepatoprotective agents.METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography was applied to establish fingerprints of 19 batches of DME， followed by similarity evaluation and identification of common peaks. An in vitro CLI model was constructed by lithocholic acid （LCA）-induced injury in HepG2 cells to evaluate the in vitro protective effect of DME against CLI. Spearman correlation analysis， grey relational analysis and partial least-squares regression analysis were adopted to investigate the spectrum-effect relationship of DME against CLI and preliminarily screen the core active components. Molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance technology were used to predict and verify the binding capacity between core active components and farnesoid X receptor （FXR）. qRT-PCR， Western blot and immunofluorescence staining tests were performed to validate the influences of core active components on the expression of molecules related to FXR/bile salt export pump （BSEP） pathway in CLI model cells.RESULTS A total of 12 common peaks were calibrated in the fingerprints of 19 batches of DME， and the similarity values were all above 0.990. Four common peaks were identified， namely peak 6 （schaftoside）， peak 7 （isoorientin）， peak 11 （isoschaftoside） and peak 12 （isovitexin）. DME at 80 μg/mL exerted the optimal protective effect on CLI-model cells， and the cell viability reached （75.66±4.60）% after 24 h of treatment. Spectrum-effect analysis revealed that schaftoside possessed the strongest correlation with the anti-CLI activity of DME and served as the core active component. Target prediction and validation results showed that the binding energy between schaftoside and FXR was －8.1 kcal/mol， and the equilibrium dissociation constant was 27.3 μmol/L. Mechanistic experiments demonstrated that 100 μmol/L schaftoside significantly elevated the expression levels of FXR and BSEP， and mRNA of their encoded genes Nr1h4 ， Abcb11 in CLI-model cells （ P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS Schaftoside may be the core active component of DME against CLI， and its mechanism may be related to the activation of FXR/BSEP pathway.

Persistent atrial fibrillation and other factors can cause mitral and tricuspid annular dilation and leaflet regurgitation,leading to severe functional mitral and tricuspid regurgitation.Patients often experience significant heart failure symptoms and poor prognosis.For patients with severe mitral or tricuspid regurgitation who are at high risk or contraindicated for surgical procedures,transbronchial repair(TEER)is an important alternative therapy that can effectively reduce valve regurgitation and improve cardiac function;Although there is a lack of large-scale data on atrial functional reflux,existing experience still shows that TEER can significantly reduce reflux and improve patients'quality of life.However,double valve intervention therapy poses challenges,especially when combined with TEER repair,which is technically more complex,time-consuming,and carries higher risks.Foreign data shows that simultaneous or staged double valve intervention can safely improve cardiac function and increase survival rates,but the optimal intervention strategy still needs further research.Due to the fact that tricuspid TEER devices have not yet been launched in China,only staged treatment can be adopted at present.This case report shows a patient with severe atrial functional mitral and tricuspid regurgitation who underwent staged transcatheter edge to edge repair surgery successfully.During a 1-year follow-up,bilateral valve regurgitation continued to improve,indicating that staged repair of bilateral atrioventricular valve regurgitation through the catheter margin is a feasible and effective treatment option.

Cancer is the main cause of death,and drug therapy has greatly improved the effectiveness of anti-tumor treatment.However,there are problems such as high adverse reactions and the risk of developing drug resistance after long-term use.There is an urgent need to seek new drug targets.Human antigen R(HuR),as an RNA binding protein,promotes the whole process of tumor occurrence,development and metastasis through post transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability,and HuR is general-ly highly expressed in tumor tissue,making it a new target for an-ti-tumor therapy and a standard for prognosis evaluation.Tradi-tional Chinese medicine formulas and their various chemical components can inhibit tumor proliferation,induce tumor cell ap-optosis,inhibit angiogenesis,suppress immune escape,and re-verse tumor drug resistance by regulating HuR activity.This re-view summarizes the importance of HuR in regulation of tumor progression,as well as analyzes the mechanisms of the antitumor effects through active ingredients of Chinese medicine with the regulation of HuR.It is expected to provide new ideas for tumor therapy and guidance for the development of HuR-targeted anti-tumor drugs.

This study was aimed at identifying the pathogenic bacteria responsible for the death of a young tiger at the Fujian Meihua Mountain South China Tiger Breeding Research Institute.Tissue samples from the lungs,liver,and intestines of the deceased tiger were collected,and the bacteria were cultured inasterile environment.The bacterial strains were characterized according to their morphological and molecular biological properties,including assessment of virulence genes and antibiotic resistance genes,mouse lethality tests,and antibiotic susceptibility evaluations.A predominant bacterial strain isolated from the liver of the deceased tiger was identified as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(ETEC)strain Tiger22513F.Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that the Tiger22513F strain exhibited close genetic similarity to the reference strain ETEC(MF919609.1),with 99.9%nucleotide similarity,and resided on the same evolutionary branch.The Tiger22513F strain contained 11 antibiotic resistance genes(tetA,sul1,sul3,cmlA,floR,blaTEM,blaSHV,blaCMY-2,qnrA,qnrS,and qnrD)along with five virulence genes(VT1,fyuA,tsh,iucD,and ST).Mouse lethality tests indicated significant pathogenicity toward mice,affecting primarily the lungs,liver,and intestines.Antibiotic susceptibility testing demonstrated that this strain exhibited resistance to various classes of beta-lactam antibiotics,as well as quinolones and aminoglycosides.This investigation successfully isolated a multi-drug resistant enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain with pronounced pathogenicity from the liver of a deceased tiger;thus providing valuable scientific insights for clinical diagnosis,as well as prevention and control measures,against ETEC infections in South China tigers.

Objective To observe the effect of a Jianpi Huayu Jiedu formula on the NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis pathway in gastric precancerous lesion(GPL)associated with Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection.Methods A GPL mouse model was prepared using Hp suspension gavage combined with Atp4a gene-deficient mice.The Jianpi Huayu Jiedu formula was administered as an intervention.Gastric mucosal tissue pathological damage was observed using hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.The presence of intestinal metaplasia(IM)was assessed using Alcian Blue-Periodic Acid Schiff(AB-PAS)staining.Ultrastructural changes in cell organelles were observed using transmission electron microscopy.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure levels of gastrin-17(G-17),pepsinogen I(PGI),and proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18.The expression of molecules related to the pyroptosis pathway was detected using Western blot and real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).Results Compared to the control group,Hp-related GPL mice exhibited gastric mucosal atrophy accompanied by IM and dysplasia.Damage to mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum in parietal cells was observed.Levels of G-17,PGI,and proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 were elevated.The expression of molecules related to the pyroptosis pathway was increased.The Jianpi Huayu Jiedu formula significantly reduced gastric mucosal tissue pathological damage in GPL mice,decreased G-17 and PGI levels,mitigated inflammatory responses,and downregulated the expression of molecules related to the pyroptosis pathway.Conclusion The Jianpi Huayu Jiedu formula may exert its effects by inhibiting the NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis signaling pathway,thereby alleviating or even reversing the pathological damage of gastric mucosa in Hp-related GPL.

Objective:To investigate the differences in respiratory work load and oxygenation index improvement between intermittent sighing and progressive lung retraction strategies in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)related to lung collapse.Methods:Sixty patients with ARDS related to lung collapse admitted from January 2020 to January 2024 were selected and divided into intermittent sighing group(IS group,n=30)and progressive lung re-expansion group(PLR group,n=30)according to different treatment methods.The IS group used an intermittent sighing ventilation mode,while the PLR group adopted a progressive lung re-expansion strategy.The changes in respiratory work load indicators[including work of breathing(WOB),maximum inspiratory pressure(Pmax),transcutaneous oxygen saturation(SpO2)],oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2),lung compliance(Cst),and mechanical ventilation-related parameters were compared before and after treatment in both groups.Results:After treatment,the respiratory work load was significantly reduced in both groups,with a more pronounced decrease in WOB in the PLR group(P＜0.05);both groups showed significant improvements in oxygenation index,but the degree of improvement was more marked in the PLR group(P＜0.01);lung compliance improved more markedly in the PLR group(P＜0.05);the PLR group had significantly shorter mechanical ventilation time and ICU stay compared to the IS group(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The progressive lung recruitment strategy is better than the intermittent sighing ventilation in improving the respiratory work load,oxygenation index and lung compliance of patients with ARDS related to lung collapse.It can shorten the mechanical ventilation time and ICU hospital stay more effectively,which is worth clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To explore the incidence of Crohn's disease-like pouch (CDP) after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. One hundred and eighty-two UC patients undergoing IPAA at Jinling Hospital affiliated to Nanjing University from November 2003 to November 2024 were enrolled. Patients were categorized into CDP and non-CDP groups. Clinical features and prognosis were compared, and multivariate Cox regression was performed to identify risk factors for CDP.Results:A total of 182 UC patients were included, with a median follow-up time of 45.00 (30.00, 75.25) months. The patients were divided into two groups based on the diagnosis of CDP, with 23 patients (12.64%) in the CDP group and 159 patients (87.30%) in the non-CDP group. Compared to the non-CDP group, patients in the CDP group had a lower body mass index (BMI) ( Z=-2.87, P=0.004), and were more likely to develop early postoperative pouchitis (χ 2=4.50, P=0.034). The median time from ileostomy closure to the development of CDP was 12 .00 (6.00, 28.00) months. Cox regression analysis showed that a preoperative BMI<18.5 kg/m 2 ( HR=2.84, 95% CI: 1.24~6.49, P=0.013) and early postoperative pouchitis ( HR=3.11, 95% CI: 1.22~7.93, P=0.018) were associated with an increased risk of CDP. Conclusions:Preoperative low BMI and pouchitis occurring within 3 months postoperatively are significant risk factors for CDP. Close monitoring and early intervention are recommended for high-risk patients.
