Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common long-term complication following lung surgery. Its high incidence significantly impacts patients’ quality of life and functional recovery, and imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden. This consensus aims to systematically establish a standardized integrated Chinese and Western medicine diagnostic and treatment framework for chronic post-lung surgery pain (CPLSP). Based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical research and multidisciplinary clinical experience, the working group comprehensively elaborates on core issues regarding CPLSP, including its definition, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical assessment, Western medical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, and integrated strategies. The consensus emphasizes a patient-centered approach, adhering to the principles of multimodality, individualization, and stepwise management, highlighting the synergistic advantages of integrating Chinese and Western medicine throughout the entire perioperative management cycle encompassing "perioperative anti-inflammation, acute analgesia, and chronic rehabilitation." Through systematic literature retrieval and evidence integration, a total of 9 core recommendations were established to provide scientifically sound and clinically practical guidance.

Objective To analyze the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-negative posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the context of specific cases and literature. Methods A case of EBV-negative DLBCL (GCB type) after kidney transplantation is reported. The patient was a 45-year-old male who underwent living-related kidney transplantation in 2016 and has been receiving triple immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone since then. In 2024, the patient presented with intermittent fever, night sweats and gastrointestinal symptoms. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopic pathology, immunohistochemical staining and positron emission tomography/computed tomography. The R-CDOP regimen (rituximab + cyclophosphamide + liposomal doxorubicin + vincristine + dexamethasone) was used for treatment. Results The patient was diagnosed with EBV-negative DLBCL (GCB type, Ann Arbor stage Ⅳ B). After 4 cycles of R-CDOP chemotherapy, the efficacy assessment was partial remission, and the transplant kidney function remained stable. Conclusions For EBV-negative PTLD after kidney transplantation, it is necessary to break through the "virus-dependent" diagnostic thinking. In clinical practice, the focus should be on protecting the transplant kidney, and individualized treatment plans should be developed for patients.

Objective:To develop habitat radiomics models to predict early treatment responses to the hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with targeted therapy or immunotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, and to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:From October 2021 to Decemeber 2023, at Army Characteristic Medical Center of PLA (Chongqing Daping Hospital) and the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, 94 patients with advanced HCC who received HAIC combined with targeted therapy or immunotherapy were retrospectively enrolled. According to the treatment results, the patients were divided into response group and non-response group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to analyze the clinical data of the patients. Based on contrast-enhanced CT images, tumor habitats were delineated and habitat features were extracted with k-means clustering, and the imaging features of arterial and venous phases were also extracted. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used for dimensionality reduction. Feature selection was performed using LASSO to reduce dimensions, and then the selected features were further refined through stepwise logistic regression analysis.Binary logistic regression models were conducted to develop the habitat radiomics model, arterial phase radiomics model (APRM), venous phase radiomics model (VPRM), clinical data model, as well as the combination of radiomics model and clinical data model to predict early treatment (after 2 treatment cycles) response. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were plotted, and model performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve. The models were validated through Bootstrap methods (1 000 times). DeLong test was used to compare AUC values.Results:The results of cluster analysis identified 3 characteristic habitats in HCC imaging: low-, medium-, and high-enhancement tumor habitats. The proportion of high-enhancement habitats was higher than that in the non-response group. A predictive model was established based on the proportions of these 3 habitats. Based on the proportion of low-, medium-, and high-enhancement habitats within the tumor, a habitat radiomics model was constructed. After LASSO selection and logistic regression analysis, 3 arterial phase and 3 venous phase radiomic features were selected to build the APRM and VPRM, respectively. Logistic regression analysis identified the following factors for the clinical data model: comorbidities ( OR=0.275, P=0.031), maximum tumor diameter ( OR=1.149, P=0.019), red blood cell count ( OR=0.463, P=0.022), alpha fetoprotein >400 μg/L ( OR=3.452, P=0.017), and tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy ( OR=3.072, P=0.048). Among the single predictive model′s comparison, the AUC of habitat radiomics model was 0.860 (95% confidence interval(95% CI): 0.789 to 0.932), while those of the APRM、VPRM and clinical data model were 0.850 (95% CI: 0.773 to 0.926), 0.855 (95% CI: 0.782 to 0.928), and 0.774 (95% CI: 0.681 to 0.867), respectively, and there were no statistically significant among these models (all P>0.05). Among the combination models, the AUC of the habitat rediomic-clinical data combination model was 0.881 (95% CI: 0.814 to 0.947); the AUC of arterial phase rediomic-clinical data combination model was 0.897 (95% CI: 0.833 to 0.961); and the AUC of venous phase rediomic-clinical data combination model was 0.888 (95% CI: 0.826 to 0.951), but there were no statistically significant among the 3 models (all P>0.05). The calibration curve showed that the habitat rediomic-clinical data combination model had the most accurate predictive probability. Internal validation showed that the AUC of habitat rediomic-clinical data combination model was 0.848 (95% CI: 0.772 to 0.922), and the predictive performance was better than that of the clinical-data model (0.733 (95% CI: 0.670 to 0.863)). Conclusion:The habitat radiomics model based on enhanced CT can effectively predict early treatment responses to the HAIC combined with targeted therapy or immunotherapy in advanced HCC patients, which provides theoretical basis for individualized treatment in advanced HCC.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Saccharomyces boulardii ( S. boulardii) as an adjuvant therapy for ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods:Databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, CNKI, Wanfang Database, and Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database were retrieved from their inception to September 1, 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about S. boulardii as an adjuvant therapy for UC were included. The intervention method was S. boulardii monotherapy or as an adjunct to other medications ( Saccharomyces group), while the control group received other medications. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool (RoB 2.0). Primary outcome indicators included overall efficacy, clinical remission rate, and endoscopic remission rate. Secondary outcome indicators included Baron score, Sutherland disease activity index, indicators of intestinal mucosal barrier function, levels of inflammatory cytokines, and overall adverse events. RevMan 5.3 software was used for statistical analysis. RR and MD were taken as effect indicators of count data and measurement data, respectively. Results:A total of 26 RCTs were included, all from China. Among them, 22 studies reported the overall efficacy in UC patients. The results indicated that the overall efficacy of Saccharomyces group was higher than that of the control group (93.5%(943/1 009) vs. 76.8%(771/1 004)), and the difference was statistically significant ( RR=1.20, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.16 to 1.25, P<0.001). And 9 studies assessed the efficacy in patients with mild or moderate UC. The results showed that the clinical remission rate and endoscopic remission rate of Saccharomyces group were both higher that those of the control group (68.1%(581/853) vs. 53.1%(455/857); 54.9%(425/774) vs. 35.5%(273/769)), and the differences were statistically significant ( RR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.25, P<0.001; RR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.28 to 1.73, P<0.001). S. boulardii as an adjunctive therapy could significantly lower the Baron score in patients with UC (7 studies) and mild to moderate UC (5 studies) ( MD=-0.51, 95% CI: -0.68 to -0.33; MD=-0.50, 95% CI: -0.75 to -0.26; both P<0.001). Additionally, S. boulardii as an adjunctive therapy could significantly decrease the Sutherland disease activity index in patients with UC (6 studies) and mild to moderate UC (3 studies), and the differences were statistically significant ( MD=-1.50, 95% CI: -2.26 to -0.74; MD=-0.92, 95% CI: -1.16 to -0.69; both P<0.001). Compared with the control group, S. boulardii as an adjunctive therapy significantly improved intestinal mucosal barrier function and decreased inflammatory cytokine levels in patients with UC and patients with mild to moderate UC (all P<0.05), such as D-lactate ( MD=-2.44, 95% CI: -4.43 to -0.45; MD=-1.47, 95% CI: -2.03 to -0.91), Geboes index ( MD=-0.40, 95% CI: -0.46 to -0.35; MD=-0.39, 95% CI: -0.46 to -0.32), C-reactive protein ( MD=-3.70, 95% CI: -5.65 to -1.76; MD=-3.36, 95% CI: -5.07 to -1.64), and tumor necrosis factor-α levels ( MD=-7.64, 95% CI: -11.27 to -4.01; MD=-7.75, 95% CI: -12.25 to -3.25). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between Saccharomyces group and the control group (13 studies) (7.8%(47/602) vs. 10.9%(65/596)), RR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.52 to 1.09, P=0.130). Conclusions:The additional use of S. boulardii in the treatment of UC. It can improve the clinical remission rate, alleviate intestinal inflammation, promote the recovery is safe of the injury in intestinal mucosal barrier.

Aim To investigate the role of corylin in angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)-induced cardiomyocyte hy-pertrophy and its underlying mechanisms.Methods An Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy model was established and treated with corylin.Real-time PCR was employed to assess hypertrophic gene mRNA expression,and immunofluorescence was used to meas-ure cardiomyocyte surface area.Western blot and en-zyme activity assay kits were used to evaluate SIRT1 expression and activity.Results Corylin markedly mitigated Ang Ⅱ-induced hypertrophic gene expression and cardiomyocyte surface area enlargement.Moreo-ver,it prevented the Ang Ⅱ-mediated decline in SIRT1 protein levels and deacetylase activity.Further investi-gation indicated that corylin inhibited Ang Ⅱ-driven NF-κB transcriptional activity and the expression of its downstream target genes,such as TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β.Notably,SIRT1 silencing abolished the protective effects of corylin against cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,as well as its regulation of the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.Conclusion Corylin suppresses cardiomyo-cyte hypertrophy by modulating the SIRT1-dependent NF-κB signaling pathway.
