With the continuous deepening of the concept of precision diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer, how to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment pathways in clinical practice has become an important issue that urgently needs to be overcome. The current clinical difficulty lies in the fact that despite continuous advancements in imaging and molecular diagnostic technologies, there are still limitations in manual efficiency and subjective experience when it comes to massive data analysis and multi-scale feature extraction. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially algorithm systems based on deep learning, is an innovative technology capable of deeply empowering medical big data. This method utilizes algorithms such as convolutional neural networks, combined with radiomics, pathomics, and multi-modal data fusion analysis, demonstrating immense potential in early precise detection and benign-malignant differentiation of pulmonary nodules, digital pathological subtype recognition and non-invasive prediction of driver genes, precise 3D surgical planning and automatic delineation of radiotherapy target volumes, as well as dynamic risk warning during follow-up. This innovative technology provides a brand-new solution for realizing intelligent and individualized lung cancer diagnosis and treatment models. This consensus, based on the latest evidence from evidence-based medicine and combined with the development trends in the AI field and real-world clinical needs, was ultimately formed by gathering the consensus opinions of multidisciplinary experts in radiology, pathology, thoracic surgery, and other fields. The main content covers the application specifications of AI in the three core scenarios of lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, the technical standards for data collection and algorithm validation, as well as the ethical and regulatory challenges faced at the current stage. It aims to clarify the applicable boundaries of AI as a clinical auxiliary decision support tool, providing scientific guidance and standardized exploration directions for peers currently engaged in or planning to carry out AI-assisted clinical diagnosis, treatment, and translation of lung cancer.

Magnolol, a compound extracted from Magnolia officinalis, demonstrates potential efficacy in addressing metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases. Its biological activities encompass anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticoagulant, and anti-diabetic effects. Growth/differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), a member of the transforming growth factor β superfamily, is considered a potential therapeutic target for metabolic disorders. This study investigated the impact of magnolol on GDF-15 production and its underlying mechanism. The research examined the pharmacological effect of magnolol on GDF-15 expression in vitro and in vivo, and determined the involvement of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling in this process. Luciferase reporter assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and in vitro DNA binding assays were employed to examine the regulation of GDF-15 by activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), CCAAT enhancer binding protein γ (CEBPG), and CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF). The study also investigated the effect of magnolol and ATF4 on the activity of a putative enhancer located in the intron of the GDF-15 gene, as well as the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on magnolol and ATF4-induced transcription activity. Results demonstrated that magnolol triggers GDF-15 production in endothelial cells (ECs), hepatoma cell line G2 (HepG2) and hepatoma cell line 3B (Hep3B) cell lines, and primary mouse hepatocytes. The cooperative binding of ATF4 and CEBPG upstream of the GDF-15 gene or the E1944285 enhancer located in the intron led to full-power transcription of the GDF-15 gene. SNP alleles were found to impact the magnolol and ATF4-induced transcription activity of GDF-15. In high-fat diet ApoE^-/- mice, administration of magnolol induced GDF-15 production and partially suppressed appetite through GDF-15. These findings suggest that magnolol regulates GDF-15 expression through priming of promoter and enhancer activity, indicating its potential as a drug for the treatment of metabolic disorders.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of neuro-endoscopic evacuation and microsurgery via keyhole approach in early spontaneous supertentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods:A prospective multi-center randomized controlled trial was performed; 114 patients with spontaneous supertentorial ICH (time from onset to surgery<6 h) admitted to Departments of Neurosurgery, Shunde Hospital of Southern Medical University, Jiangmen Central Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of School of Medicine of Yanbian University from January 2019 to December 2021 and met the surgical indications were selected. They were divided into endoscopic group (evacuation of intracerebral hematoma under neuroendoscope, n=71) and microscopic group (microsurgery of intracerebral hematoma via keyhole approach, n=43) according to different surgical methods. After 1:1 propensity score matching of the general data, surgical time, hematoma clearance rate, early postoperative re-bleeding rate, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores 7 d after surgery, activity of daily living (ADL) scores 6 months after surgery, mortality, and surgery-related complications of 66 patients (33 from each group after matching) were compared. Results:The difference of surgical time between endoscopic group and microscopic group was statistically significant (125[102, 157] mins vs. 175[125, 260] mins, P<0.05). However, hematoma clearance rate (93.00%[80.88%, 96.52%] vs. 93.31%[88.15%, 96.03%]), early postoperative re-bleeding rate (15.2% vs. 9.1%), GCS scores 7 d after surgery (13[10, 15] vs. 12[8, 14]), ADL scores 6 months after surgery (65[45, 85] vs. 55[0, 85]), mortality rate (18.2% vs. 21.2%) and incidences of postoperative intracranial infection and acquired pulmonary infection were not statistically significant between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Comparing with microsurgery via keyhole approach, neuro-endoscopy could shorten the surgical time, but not improve the prognosis or safety in early spontaneous supertentorial ICH patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early colorectal cancer and its precancerous lesions by using novel lifting clip-assisted traction.Methods:From March to July 2021, 42 patients with colorectal lesions who received ESD at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital were included in the retrospective study. Nineteen patients were enrolled as the observation group using the novel lifting clip, and 23 others in the control group without the help of an auxiliary method. The operation time, the hospital stay, hospital expenses and the incidence of complications of the two groups were compared.Results:All 42 patients successfully received ESD. The operation time of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group [31.00 (21.00, 58.00) min VS 60.00 (30.00, 75.00) min, Z=-2.04, P=0.04]. The postoperative hospital stay of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group [2.00 (1.00, 2.00) d VS 2.00 (2.00, 3.00) d, Z=-1.99, P=0.04]. The hospital cost was lower than that of the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (19 331.42 ± 3 481.20 yuan VS 19 802.40 ± 2 548.50 yuan, t=-0.49, P=0.63). No intraoperative perforation occurred in either group. There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the observation group and the control group [0.00 (0.00, 5.00) mL VS 3.00 (0.00, 7.00) mL, Z=-1.42, P=0.16]. There was 1 case of postoperative abdominal pain in the observation group, 2 cases of postoperative abdominal pain and 1 case of fever in the control group. There was no significant difference in the overall incidence of postoperative complications between the observation group and the control group [5.3% (1/19) VS 13.0% (3/23), χ2=0.73, P=0.39]. Conclusion:The novel lifting clip-assisted colorectal ESD is safe and effective, which can significantly shorten the ESD operation time and postoperative hospital stay without increasing the economic burden of patients.

Objective:To explore the causes and precaution procedures of olfactory dysfunction after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary lesions.Methods:The clinical data of 72 patients underwent transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary lesions in our hospital from November 2016 to May 2018 were summarized. Resection under microscope was performed in 27 patients and resection under endoscope in 45 patients. The olfactory function of patients with postoperative olfactory disorders was evaluated one and 6 months after surgery. Bilateral nasal passages were examined by nasal endoscopy 3-6 months after surgery. Whether intraoperative operations were related to olfactory impairment was analyzed.Results:There were seven hyposmic/anosmic patients; three patients (6.7%) were operated via endoscopic approach and four patients (14.8%) were operated via microscopic transsphenoidal approach; incidence of olfactory dysfunction between the two groups showed no statistical difference ( P>0.05). One month after operation, two patients had a slight decrease in olfactory function, 4 had a severe decrease in olfactory function and one had anosmia. Six months after the operation, two patients with severe hypoxia got improvment, but failed to return to normal level; and the rest of the patients showed no significant improvement. Three-6 months after operation, nasal endoscopic examination found that all patients had healed nasal wound, two patients had large volume of nasal mucus secretion, and 3 patients had postoperative nasal mucosa adhesion. In these 72 patients,cauterization of the mucosa around the sphenoid ostium was performed in 6 patients, placement of the speculum above the sphenoid ostium was performed in 2 patients, and olfactory damage was noted in all the 8 patients. Conclusions:Olfactory dysfunction after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary lesions is common, and attention should be paid.Placement of the speculum above the sphenoid ostium and cauterization of the mucosa around the sphenoid ostium might be the main reasons for olfactory damage.

To determine the value of radiomics in identifying lymph node (LN) metastasis in patients with rectal nonmucinous adenocarcinoma.
 Methods: Imaging data of 91 patients were retrospectively analyzed (61 in the training set and 30 in the test set). A total of 1 301 radiomics features were extracted from high-resolution T2-weighted images of the whole primary tumor. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression was performed to choose the optimal features and construct a radiomics classifier in the training set. Its discrimination performance was compared with that of morphological criteria by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, which was validated in the test set.
 Results: The radiomics classifier combined with five key features was significantly associated with LN metastasis, which distinguished LN metastasis with an area under curve (AUC) at 0.874 (95% CI 0.787 to 0.960) in the training set, and the performance was similar in the test set (AUC 0.878, 95% CI 0.727 to 1.000). The AUCs according to the morphological criteria in the training set and test set were 0.619 (95% CI 0.487 to 0.752) and 0.556 (95% CI 0.355 to 0.756), respectively. Discrimination of the radiomics classifier was superior to that of morphological criteria in both the two datasets (both P <0.05).
 Conclusion: The radiomics classifier provides individualized risk estimation for LN metastasis in rectal nonmucinous adenocarcinoma patients and it has the advantage over the morphological criteria.

Objective Abnormalities of lipid profile were considered as risk factors of hemorrhage after ischemic stroke. We aimed to determine the relationship between lipid levels and bleeding in minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients receiving antiplatelet therapy. Methods Serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride were tested in a subgroup of 3044 consecutive patients from Clopidogrel in High-risk patients with Acute Non-disabling Cerebrovascular Events (CHANCE) trial. Patients were randomized to clopidogrel plus aspirin group or single aspirin group. The primary endpoint was any bleeding within 90 days. The secondary endpoint was severe bleeding according to the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO) definition. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the associations of lipid levels and outcomes. Results A total of 59 (1.9％) bleeding events occurred at 90 days. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (adjusted HR=2.16; 95％CI 1.17-4.00, P=0.014) and age (adjusted HR=1.04;95％CI 1.01-1.06, P=0.006) were significantly associated with any bleeding. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol was also associated with severe bleeding (adjusted HR=3.05;95％CI 1.39-6.68, per 1 mmol/L increase). No correlations between outcomes and levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride were found. There was no interaction of any lipid component level with randomized antiplatelet therapy. Conclusions Elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is independently associated with any bleeding and severe bleeding in the patients with acute minor stroke or high-risk TIA on antiplatelet therapy.
