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.

With the rapid development of network technology, live surgery has become the new way of surgery teaching. However, the issue of patient privacy protection caused by live surgery has received widespread attention. Based on the evolutionary game theory, this paper constructed an evolutionary game model from the three-party perspectives of doctors, patients, and government and analyzed the game behaviors of the three parties in the process of live surgery. Matlab software was utilized to conduct dynamic simulation and numerical simulation analysis. It was found that the factors affecting the choice of doctors’ strategies included protection costs, the cost of privacy leakage, the benefits of protection, high-traffic benefits, and other aspects; the factors affecting the choice of patient strategies encompassed surgical costs, the risk of privacy leakage, additional benefits, and other aspects; the factors affecting the choice of government strategies embodied regulatory costs and the improvement of credibility. To realize a win-win situation among doctors, patients, and the government, the three parties need to work together to ensure that patient privacy is not violated and find a balance between expanding the influence of medical education and protecting patient privacy.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of medical damage liability disputes involving breach of the duty to inform in China, analyze the factors influencing the types of medical staff’s breach of the duty to inform, and explore the notification problems of medical staff in clinical practice. On these foundations, suggestions were proposed to improve the performance of the duty to inform and reduce medical disputes. MethodsUsing public cases from the China Judgements Online as the data source, the relationship between risk points and types of breach of duty to inform was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors of the types of breach of the duty to inform, and qualitative research summarized the specific contents of breach of the duty to inform. ResultsThere were differences in the effects of factors, including whether the patient was hospitalized, whether surgery was performed, whether Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment was required, the level of the medical institution, and whether a consultation occurred, on the types of breach of the duty to inform (P<0.05). Whether surgery was performed was an influencing factor for the types of breach of the duty to inform. Qualitative research showed that the contents of breach of duty to inform primarily involve risk, treatment plan, and deficiencies in disease notification. ConclusionStrengthening the performance of the medical staff’s duty to inform should mainly focus on the medical side, coordinating with multiple parties and taking measures to improve the performance of the duty to inform, to reduce unnecessary medical disputes.

This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus-Saposhnikoviae Radix(AOF-SR) in a diabetic kidney disease(DKD) mouse model, explore its potential mechanism in regulating the NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3) inflammasome via phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling pathway, and provide new theoretical support for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) intervention in DKD. Using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP), the active ingredients and potential targets of AOF-SR were screened and its molecular mechanisms were investigated through molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and experimental validation. The db/db mice were randomly divided into four groups: model group, low-dose AOF-SR group, high-dose AOF-SR group, and canagliflozin group. The db/m mice served as normal group. After one week of acclimatization, the mice underwent drug intervention. Starting from one week after treatment, body weight, blood glucose levels, and 24-hour urinary protein(24hUP) were measured every two weeks. After 13 weeks of administration, tissue collection and indicator detection were performed. Blood glucose, 24hUP, urinary microalbumin(mAlb), serum creatinine(Scr), and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) levels were determined. Pathological changes in kidney tissue were observed using hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the levels of serum IL-1β, IL-18, and caspase-1, while RT-qPCR was employed to measure the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β, IL-18, caspase-1, and NLRP3. Western blot was used to assess the protein expression levels of NLRP3, PI3K, p-Akt, Akt, p-mTOR, and mTOR. Network pharmacology analysis indicated that wogonin, pinocembrin, hancinol, and kaempferol were the core compounds for drug treatment of the disease. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations showed that core compounds, particularly wogonin, could specifically bind to PIK3R1, thereby regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. The experimental results indicated that both low and high doses of AOF-SR and canagliflozin significantly reduced blood glucose, 24hUP, mAlb, Scr, and BUN levels in db/db mice, while improving kidney pathological damage and inflammatory cell infiltration. Moreover, the treatments reduced the mRNA expression levels of caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 in the kidneys of db/db mice, as well as the secretion of these factors in the serum. The drugs also inhibited the mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3 in the kidneys of db/db mice and decreased the protein levels of PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR. In conclusion, AOF-SR may improve kidney inflammation in DKD mice by regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are chronic inflammatory diseases that share similar inflammatory mechanisms and characteristics. Programmed cell death (PCD) has recently garnered attention for its crucial role in regulating inflammation and maintaining tissue homeostasis, as well as for its potential to link these two diseases. The various forms of PCD--including apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis--are closely controlled by signaling pathways such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) /NF-κB and MAPK. These pathways determine cell fate and influence inflammatory responses, tissue destruction, and repair, and they both play important roles in the pathogenesis of RA and periodontitis. In periodontitis, periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and its virulence factors, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), induce pyroptosis and necroptosis in immune cells such as macrophages via the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, which leads to an excessive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Concurrently, these pathogens inhibit the normal apoptotic process of immune cells, such as neutrophils, prolonging their survival, exacerbating immune imbalance, and aggravating periodontal tissue destruction. Similarly, in RA synovial tissue, fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) acquire apoptosis resistance through signaling pathways such as the Bcl-2 family, JAK/STAT, and NF-κB, allowing for the consistent proliferation and secretion of matrix metalloproteinases and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Meanwhile, the continuous activation of pyroptotic pathways in neutrophils and macrophages results in the sustained release of IL-1β, further exacerbating synovial inflammation and bone destruction. Notably, dysregulated PCD fosters inter-organ crosstalk through shared inflammatory mediators and metabolic networks. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and cytokines that originate from periodontal lesions can spread systemically, influencing cell death processes in synovial and immune cells, thereby aggravating joint inflammation and bone erosion. By contrast, systemic inflammation in RA can upregulate osteoclastic activity or interfere with the normal apoptosis of periodontal cells via TNF-α and IL-6, ultimately intensifying periodontal immune imbalance. This review highlights the pivotal bridging role of PCD in the pathogenesis of both periodontitis and RA, providing a reference for therapeutic strategies that target cell death pathways to manage and potentially mitigate these diseases.

Objective:To examine the clinical features and genetic profiles of patients with thyroid peroxidase(TPO) gene mutations and provide diagnostic guidance for clinicians.Methods:A retrospective review of four patients with TPO mutations treated at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from January 2014 to December 2023. Data on demographics, clinical manifestation, genotypes, treatment, and prognosis of these patients were analyzed.Results:Two males and two females, aged 13 to 27 years at diagnosis, presented with goiter as the initial symptom, with three cases menifesting during puberty. Laboratory findings showed mildly elevated or upper-limit-normal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) levels, significantly increased free triiodothyronine/free thyroxine(FT 3/FT 4) ratios, and elevated thyroglobulin(TG) levels. Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous pathogenic or likely pathogenic TPO mutations. Despite regular levothyroxine(L-T 4) therapy, goiter persisted. Three patients required thyroidectomy due to cosmetic or compressive symptoms, with pathology showing follicular hyperplasia. Conclusion:TPO mutations are characterized by adolescent-onset goiter, elevated FT 3/FT 4 ratios, and normal to high TSH. Genetic testing confirms the diagnosis. L-T 4 offers limited improvement, and surgery is often needed.
