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 investigate the epidemiological characteristics of malaria and provide a basis for developing improved prevention and control measures. Methods Data were obtained from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Malaria surveillance data for Nanning City from January 1,2023, to December 31,2024, were exported from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management Subsystem. The characteristics of the two groups of malaria cases were compared. Results A total of 103 imported malaria cases were reported in Nanning City in 2024, representing a 38.32% decrease compared with the same period of the previous year. No statistically significant difference were observed between cases reported in 2023 and 2024 in terms of average age, gender ratio, proportion of parasite species, and monthly reporting distribution;however, statistically significant differences were found in the proportion of reporting areas and current residence areas(χ2= 13.572 and 10.355, respectively; P = 0.001 and 0.035, respectively). The proportion of cases reported in Shanglin County and the proportion of cases residing in Shanglin County were both lower than those during the same period of the previous year. Conclusions The high aggregation of imported malaria cases in Nanning City has decreased. Medical institutions in areas other than Shanglin County should strengthen their vigilance against malaria.

ObjectiveTo investigate the independent risk factors for decompensation in patients with liver cirrhosis， to construct a nomogram-based risk assessment model， and to assess its risk assessment performance and clinical value by comparing it with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease （MELD）， MELD combined with serum sodium concentration （MELD-Na）， and MELD 3.0 scoring system. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 514 patients with liver cirrhosis who attended The First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2020 to May 2025， and related data were collected， including demographic data and laboratory markers. According to the presence or absence of decompensation， the patients were divided into compensation group with 275 patients and decompensation group with 239 patients. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis was used for screening of variables， and the multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for decompensated liver cirrhosis and construct a nomogram model. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， calibration curve， and decision curve analysis were used to assess the discriminatory ability， calibration， and net clinical benefit of the model. ResultsThe multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low hemoglobin （odds ratio ［OR］=0.984， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.969　—　0.999， P<0.05）， low lymphocytes （OR=0.564， 95%CI： 0.383　—　0.830， P<0.05）， high international normalized ratio （OR=3.131， 95%CI： 1.242　—　7.891， P<0.05）， and low serum sodium （OR=0.922， 95%CI： 0.872　—　0.975， P<0.05） were independent risk factors for decompensation events in patients with liver cirrhosis. Construct the prediction model equation： Logit（P）=intercept value－0.016×hemoglobin－0.573×lymphocytes+1.141×INR－0.081×serum sodium. The nomogram constructed based on these factors had a good discriminatory ability， with an area under the ROC curve （AUC） of 0.787， a specificity of 77.8%， and a sensitivity of 67.4%， and it had significantly better predictive performance than MELD score （AUC=0.718）， MELD-Na score （AUC=0.719）， and MELD 3.0 score （AUC=0.725）. The calibration curve showed good consistency between the probability of risk assessed by the model and the observed probability. The decision curve analysis showed that compared with the MELD-based scores， this model provided higher net clinical benefit across a wide range of risk thresholds. ConclusionThis study successfully constructed and validated a nomogram risk assessment model incorporating hemoglobin， international normalized ratio， lymphocytes， and serum sodium. This model has good clinical practicability and can help to achieve early identification of high-risk patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and optimize intervention strategies in clinical practice.

Objective To establish a stable and reproducible animal model of abdominal intestinal firearm penetrating injury in a cold high-altitude environment.Methods Twenty landrace pigs were randomly and equally assigned to a low-altitude normal temperature(LN)group and a high-altitude cold(HC)group.The HC group was placed in a cold environment at high altitudes,and the LN group was placed in a normal-temperature environment at low altitudes.They were raised for 48 hours respectively.After anesthesia,they were suspended on the shooting range,and the right lower abdomen of the experimental pigs was shot with a gun.After injury,they were simply bandaged and transported back to the laboratory for observation in the normal temperature environment of the low altitudes.The vital signs and injuries at 0,2,4,8,12 and 24 h and 24 h survival rates of experimental pigs were compared.Laparotomy was immediately performed on the dead pigs and the experimental pigs still alive at 24 h to explore the injuries and observe the pathology of the small intestine and colon.Results The 24 h survival rate of the HC group was 70％,with no statistically significant difference compared to the LN group's 90％(P＞0.05).After the injury,the body temperature of both groups gradually increased.The body temperature of the HC group was significantly higher than the LN group at 0,2,4 and 8 h time points(P＜0.001),and the LN group exceeded the HC group at 24 h(P＜0.05).Both groups showed an initial increase followed by a decrease in heart rate,with the HC group significantly higher than the LN group only at 0 h(P＜0.01),and no statistically significant differences were observed at other time points(P＞0.05).Both groups showed an early increase and later decrease in respiratory rate,with the HC group higher than the LN group at 0,4,8,12 and 24 h(P＜0.05 or P＜0.001).There was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)between the HC group and the LN group in small intestine rupture,small intestine contusion,mesenteric injury,colon rupture and wound diameter.The pathology of the small intestine and colon in the HC group showed extensive necrosis and shedding of the mucosa layer,severe congestion and edema of the submucosa,and extensive lymphocyte infiltration.The LN group also showed similar symptoms but to a lesser extent.Conclusion This study established a pig model of abdominal firearm intestinal perforation injury in a cold environment at high-altitudes.The model has strong operability and stable damage,which can provide a reference for subsequent research.

Objective To explore serum levels of serine/threonine protein kinase 4(MST4)and heat shock protein 70(HSP70)in children with idiopathic immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)and their clinical signifi-cance.Methods Totally 98 children with ITP admitted to Northwest Women and Children's Hospital from April 2019 to April 2023 were retrospectively selected as the ITP group,and 50 healthy children who under-went physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group.Enzyme linked immu-nosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of MST4 and HSP70,and the serum MST4 and HSP70 levels in children with different ITP levels were compared.The correlation between the indicators were analyzed by Pearson correlation.Logistic regression model was used to screen the prognostic factors of ITP,and the as-sessment value of serum MST4 and HSP70 on ITP prognosis was analyzed by subject working characteristic curve.Results Serum MST4,HSP70,and CD8 in the ITP group were higher than those in the control group,while PLT,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+were lower than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Serum MST4 and HSP70 levels in mild group,moderate group and severe group were increased successively,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that serum MST4 and HSP70 were positively correlated with CD8+(P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with PLT,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+(P＜0.05).The disease course,serum MST4 and HSP70 of ITP children in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of disease(OR=1.579,P＜0.001),serum MST4(OR=1.451,P＜0.001)and serum HSP70(OR=1.442,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors af-fecting the prognosis of children with ITP.The area under the curve of serum MST4 and HSP70 combined in the assessment of poor prognosis of ITP children was larger than that of serum MST4 and HSP70,and the difference was statistically significant(Z=4.568,4.672,both P＜0.001).Conclusion The elevated serum MST4 and HSP70 levels in children with ITP are related to the severity of the disease and cellular immune function.The combination of the two has a high evaluation value for the prognosis of children with ITP.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Aim To elucidate the molecular mecha-nism underlying the inhibitory effect of liquidambaric acid(LDA)targeting TNF receptor associated factor 6(TRAF6)in colorectal cancer.Methods This study employed microscale thermophoresis(MST),drug af-finity responsive target stability assay(DARTS)and cellular thermal shift assay(CETSA)to confirm the direct binding of LDA to TRAF6.Additionally,we generated TRAF6 knockout colorectal cancer HCT116 cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology,and assessed the impact of LDA on TRAF6-regulated Hippo/YAP and Wnt signaling pathways through immunofluorescence a-nalysis and TOPFlash/Renilla luciferase reporter sys-tem.Co-IP and proximity ligation assays(PLA)were conducted to investigate LDA-regulated TRAF6 pro-tein-protein interactions and elucidate molecular mech-anisms.Results The direct binding of LDA to TRAF6 was confirmed in cell lysates and living cells.LDA promoted TRAF6-dependent nuclear translocation of YAP in colorectal cancer cells,and inhibited Wnt signaling by overexpressing TRAF6.Co-IP and PLA revealed that TRAF6 formed a tripartite complex with YAP and β-catenin in colon cancer cells,where TRAF6 was a key scaffolding protein of the tripartite complex.LDA disrupted the interactions between the TRAF domain of TRAF6 and YAP,as well as YAP and β-catenin.Conclusion LDA regulates Hippo/YAP signaling pathway by targeting TRAF6 and inhib-its colorectal cancer.

Osteoarthritis(OA)is a common joint disease in clinical practice,and cartilage damage is a typical pathological change.The pathogenesis of OA is complex,and various adverse factors can lead to the occurrence of OA.Mitochondria are im-portant organelles within cells and play important roles in cellular physiological and pathological activ-ities.Mitochondrial quality control is an important regulatory mechanism in the body to maintain nor-mal mitochondrial structure and function,mainly including mitochondrial biogenesis,mitochondrial dynamics,mitochondrial autophagy,mitochondrial oxidative stress,and other forms.The imbalance of mitochondrial quality control in chondrocytes is closely related to the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis,and regulating the balance of mi-tochondrial quality control is a potential therapeu-tic point for osteoarthritis.The author reviewed rel-evant research literature in recent years to provide a review of the relationship between mitochondrial quality control and the occurrence and develop-ment of osteoarthritis,in order to provide new ideas and directions for the research and diagnosis and treatment strategies of osteoarthritis.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of peripheral retinal defocus distribution in adult myopia and its relationship with refractive error.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.A total of 270 myopic patients aged 18 to 46 years were enrolled at Tianjin Eye Hospital from January to March 2024.Data from the right eye were included in the analysis.Spherical power and cylindrical power were obtained using an autorefractor and the spherical equivalent (SE) was calculated.Corneal curvature parameters including flap keratometry (K1), steep keratometry (K2), and average keratometry (Km) were measured using the Pentacam anterior segment imaging analyzer.Central corneal thickness (CCT) and axial length (AL) were measured using the IOLMaster optical biometer.Peripheral defocus within a 53° area centered on the fovea was assessed using multispectral refractive topography.Based on the peripheral defocus data, the distribution patterns were classified into four types: hemilateral upturn type, saddle type, crater type, and relatively flat type.Characteristics of different tpes and their correlation with diopter were analyzed.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Tianjin Eye Hospital (No.KY-2024020).All participants voluntarily participated and signed the informed consent form.Results:Of the different types of peripheral retinal defocus, 186 eyes (68.63%) were hemilateral upturn type, 45 eyes (16.61%) were crater type, 36 eyes (13.28%) were relatively flat type, and 3 eyes (1.11%) were saddle type.The crater type exhibited the lowest mean SE of (-6.18±1.50)D, while the relatively flat type showed the highest mean SE of (-3.88±0.87)D.There were significant differences in SE and AL among different peripheral defocus types ( F=15.469, 17.928, 3.431; all P<0.05).The hemilateral upturn type had significantly lower SE and spherical diopter than the relatively flat type, and crater type had significantly lower SE and spherical diopter compared to the hemilateral upturn type and relatively flat type significantly, and the hemilateral upturn type had longer AL than the relatively flat type (all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in CCT, K1, K2, or Km among different peripheral defocus types ( F=0.861, 1.761, 2.603, 2.248; all P>0.05).Spherical power was weakly negatively correlated with superior, inferior, and temporal peripheral defocus ( r=-0.269, P<0.001; r=-0.176, P<0.01; r=-0.292, P<0.001).Age was positively correlated with superior and temporal peripheral defocus ( rs=0.213, P<0.001; rs=0.181, P=0.003), and negatively correlated with nasal peripheral defocus ( rs=-0.138, P=0.023). Conclusions:Among adult peripheral defocus patterns, the hemilateral upturn type is predominant.The crater type has the lowest mean spherical equivalent, while the relatively flat type has the highest.There are negative correlations between spherical power and the superior, inferior, and temporal peripheral defocus.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of Qingda Granule (QDG) in ameliorating hypertension-induced cardiac damage and investigate the underlying mechanisms involved. METHODS: Twenty spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) were used to develope a hypertension-induced cardiac damage model. Another 10 Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats were used as normotension group. Rats were administrated intragastrically QDG [0.9 g/(kg•d)] or an equivalent volume of pure water for 8 weeks. Blood pressure, histopathological changes, cardiac function, levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory response markers were measured. Furthermore, to gain insights into the potential mechanisms underlying the protective effects of QDG against hypertension-induced cardiac injury, a network pharmacology study was conducted. Predicted results were validated by Western blot, radioimmunoassay immunohistochemistry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction, respectively. RESULTS: The administration of QDG resulted in a significant decrease in blood pressure levels in SHRs (P<0.01). Histological examinations, including hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson trichrome staining revealed that QDG effectively attenuated hypertension-induced cardiac damage. Furthermore, echocardiography demonstrated that QDG improved hypertension-associated cardiac dysfunction. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and colorimetric method indicated that QDG significantly reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory response levels in both myocardial tissue and serum (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Both network pharmacology and experimental investigations confirmed that QDG exerted its beneficial effects in decreasing hypertension-induced cardiac damage by regulating the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)/angiotensin II (Ang II)/Ang II receptor type 1 axis and ACE/Ang II/Ang II receptor type 2 axis.
