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.

Objective To investigate the distribution of dense fine speckled(DFS)antinuclear antibody(ANA)in different ages,genders,and diseases,and to explore its clinical significance in the diagnosis of auto-immune disease(AID).Methods A retrospective summary was conducted on the clinical basic data of 53520 patients who visited the hospital from January 2022 to April 2024,as well as the results of indirect immunoflu-orescence(IIF)ANA fluorescence karyotype and titer,and immunoblotting ANA spectrum,and the relation-ship between DFS positivity and AID was analyzed.Results Of the 53 520 serum samples,the rate of ANA fluorescence positivity was 32.40％,with DFS-positive samples accounting for 1.18％of all ANA fluores-cence-positive samples.The male-to-female ratio of DFS positives was 1∶1.94,with the highest percentage of 51.9％in the 21-40 age group.Among DFS positive individuals,only 12.14％were clinically diagnosed with AID disease,significantly lower than other ANA fluorescent karyotype positive individuals(23.31％,P＜0.001).The overall positivity rate of ANA spectra using immunoblotting in DFS-positive individuals was 23.54％,which was significantly lower than that in other fluorescent karyotype positive ANA individuals(73.26％,P＜0.001).Moreover,DFS positive individuals were mainly accompanied by antibody positivity such as anti-Ro52 antibodies,which had no diagnostic specificity in AID diagnosis.When comparing DFS posi-tive individuals with similar fluorescence morphology to those with homogeneous nuclear granules and nuclei,at an ANA titer of 1∶100,the proportion of AID patients in homogeneous nuclear granules and nuclei was 20.04％,significantly higher than the proportion of AID patients in DFS positive individuals(9.44％,P=0.001).With the increase of ANA titer,the proportion of AID diseases significantly increased in both karyo-type samples.When the ANA titer of DFS positive samples was increased to ≥ 1∶320,the proportion of AID diseases significantly increased to 30.77％(P=0.002).Conclusion DFS is a rare ANA fluorescent karyo-type,and DFS positive individuals are mainly found in females aged 21-40,mostly non AID patients.Howev-er,high titers of DFS cannot rule out the possibility of AID.In clinical work,special attention should be paid to distinguishing it from the homogeneous nuclear granule type to avoid misdiagnosis.

Objective This study aimed to investigate natural infection of rodents with Ehrlichia and Neoehrlichia at major Chinese land-border ports along the"Belt and Road".Methods In 2022,rodents were monitored in 10 ports in northern and southern China and identified based on diagnostic morphological characteristics.The 16S rRNA genes of Ehrlichia and Neoehrlichia were detected by PCR using universal primers from rodent samples and phylogenetic analysis was performed based on the sequences of the detected positive pathogens.Results A total of 356 rodents were sampled,including 2 orders,5 families,15 genera,and 20 species.Predominantly,73,61,56,and 58 were Meriones unguiculatus(20.51%),Rattus norvegicus(17.13%),Apodemus agrarius(15.73%),and Microtus gregalis(16.29%).Only one Microtus fortis from Suifenghe Port was infected with Ehrlichia sp.Moreover,12 rodents were infected with Neoehrlichia spp.(overall positivity rate:3.37%).Conclusions Natural infections with Ehrlichia spp.and Neoehrlichia spp.were demonstrated in rodents at important Chinese land-border ports.The positivity rate of Neoehrlichia spp.was high in some ports,indicating that surveillance for ticks and their prevention and control measures should be intensified in these regions.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT)combined with ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection(CSI)for the treatment of primary frozen shoulder(PFS).Methods Ninety-nine patients with PFS who visited the pain department of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between April 2024 and July 2024 were enrolled and randomly divided into three groups according to the randomized number table method:ESWT group(T group),CSI group(I group),and combined treatment group(TI group),with 33 patients in each group.Visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,shoulder range of motion(SROM),and Constant-Murley shoulder scores(CMS)were recorded before treatment and at 1,4,8,and 12 weeks post-treatment.Additionally,the patients'Ascens Insomnia Scale(AIS)scores were recorded before treatment and 1 month after treatment.The occurrence of adverse effects and the use of remedial medications during the treatment period were also documented.Results Compared with pre-treatment,VAS scores decreased,and SROM and CM scores improved at all time points after treatment in all three groups(P<0.05).AIS scores also decreased in all three groups at 1 month post-treatment(all P<0.05).Intergroup comparisons revealed that the TI group exhibited signifi-cantly lower VAS pain scores,greater SROM(forward flexion and backward extension),and higher CM scores at 4,8,and 12 weeks post-treatment compared to the T and I groups(Bonferroni-corrected P<0.05).No statistically significant differences were observed between the T and I groups for these measures(Bonferroni-corrected P>0.05).Additionally,there were no statistically significant differences in AIS scores or adverse effects occurrence among the three groups at 1 month post-treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion The combined treatment demonstrated greater efficacy compared to trigger point extracorporeal shock wave therapy alone and periapical steroid injection alone,resulting in significant improvement in the patient's clinical symptoms and quality of life.

OBJECTIVE: Observational studies have found associations between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and vascular dementia (VD); however, these findings are inconsistent. It remains unclear whether these associations are causal. METHODS: We conducted a meta-analysis by systematically searching for observational studies on the association between IBD and dementia. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis based on summary genome-wide association studies (GWASs) was performed. Genetic correlation and Bayesian co-localization analyses were used to provide robust genetic evidence. RESULTS: Ten observational studies involving 80,565,688 participants were included in this meta-analysis. IBD was significantly associated with dementia (risk ratio [ RR] =1.36, 95% CI = 1.04-1.78; I ² = 84.8%) and VD ( RR = 2.60, 95% CI = 1.18-5.70; only one study), but not with AD ( RR = 2.00, 95% CI = 0.96-4.13; I ² = 99.8%). MR analyses did not supported significant causal associations of IBD with dementia (dementia: odds ratio [ OR] = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.98-1.03; AD: OR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.95-1.01; VD: OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.97-1.07). In addition, genetic correlation and co-localization analyses did not reveal any genetic associations between IBD and dementia. CONCLUSION Our study did not provide genetic evidence for a causal association between IBD and dementia risk. The increased risk of dementia observed in observational studies may be attributed to unobserved confounding factors or detection bias.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To explore the role and related mechanism of myeloid related differentiation markers (MYADM) in lung adenocarcinoma metastasis induced by high cholesterol diet.Methods:(1) Cell experiments: Using lung adenocarcinoma A549 and H1975 cells, the cells were treated with 0.8 mg/ml cholesterol and then transfected with a lentivirus to knock down MYADM. The overexpression of MYADM was achieved by transfecting the cells with an overexpression plasmid. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of MYADM, E-cadherin, β-catenin, MMP-2, MMP-9, and vimentin in the cells. The proliferation ability of the cells was assessed using the plate clonal formation assay, while the migration and invasion ability were evaluated using the Transwell assay. Western blot was used to determine the effects of MYADM knockdown or overexpression on these proteins. Western blot and immunofluorescence assays were conducted to investigate the impact of Akt phosphorylation on the expression of MYADM and Rac1 in cholesterol-treated lung adenocarcinoma cells, as well as the phosphorylation of c-Myc. Western blot was also used to assess the effect of c-Myc knockdown on the expression of MYADM and MCT1 in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed to investigate the impact of cholesterol on the binding between c-Myc and the promoters of MYADM and MCT1 in lung adenocarcinoma cells. (2) Animal experiment: A549 cells or A549 cells with MYADM knockdown were intravenously inoculated into BALB/c nude mice, which were then divided into a normal diet group and a high cholesterol diet group. Using a live imaging system, the growth and metastasis of tumors in the mice were monitored. After 42 days, lung tissues were collected for immunohistochemical staining to detect changes in relevant proteins.Results:After cholesterol treatment, the expression level of MYADM in A549 cells increased from 1.00±0.18 to 3.28±0.28 ( P<0.001), and in H1975 cells, it increased from 1.00±0.06 to 2.03±0.10 ( P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the expression of E-cadherin in lung adenocarcinoma cells after MYADM knockdown increased ( P<0.01), while the expressions of β-catenin, MMP-2, MMP-9, and vimentin decreased (all P<0.01). After MYADM knockdown, the number of clonal plates decreased in A549 cells (203±23 vs 60±18, t=8.48, P=0.001) and H1975 cells (298±64 vs 137±51, t=3.41, P=0.271). The number of invasive cells also decreased in A549 cells (212±18 vs 99±34, t=5.09, P=0.007) and H1975 cells (268±34 vs 134±14, t=6.31, P=0.003). Additionally, the number of migratory cells decreased in A549 cells (353±37 vs 124±29, t=8.44, P=0.001) and H1975 cells (279±41 vs 79±19, t=7.67, P=0.002). In the lung adenocarcinoma cells overexpressing MYADM, the expression of E-cadherin decreased ( P<0.01), while the levels of β-catenin, MMP-2, MMP-9, and vimentin increased (all P<0.01). The number of plate clonal colonies formed by lung adenocarcinoma cells overexpressing MYADM increased significantly in A549 cells, (94±26 vs 298±34, t=8.26, P=0.001) and H1975 cells (83±13 vs 331±24, t=15.74, P<0.001). The number of invasive A549 cells also increased (118±17 vs 193±24, t=4.41, P=0.012) and (156±19 vs 321±12, t=12.72, P<0.001). Additionally, the number of migrating cells increased in A549 cells (171±22 vs 284±15, t=7.35, P=0.002) and in H1975 cells (178±7 vs 263±12, t=10.6, P<0.001). Experiments related to the molecular mechanism showed that overexpression of MYADM promotes the expression of MCT1 in lung adenocarcinoma cells (all P<0.01). Cholesterol not only enhances the expression of MYADM in lung adenocarcinoma cells, but also boosts the expression of Rac1 and MCT1, as well as the phosphorylation of Akt and c-Myc (all P<0.05). Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that in A549 cells treated with cholesterol, MYADM-Rac1 interaction levels increased from (100.0±15.9)% to (191.0±26.7)% ( P=0.007), while in H1975 cells, the levels increased from (100.0±18.2)% to (170.0±27.5)% ( P=0.021). ChIP confirmed that cholesterol treatment enhances the binding of c-Myc to the promoters of MYADM and MCT1. In vivo experiments demonstrated that a high-cholesterol diet promotes the metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells in mice, inducing the expression of MYADM, MCT1, and Rac1, as well as the phosphorylation of Akt and c-Myc in mouse lung tissue. Conversely, knocking down MYADM inhibits the metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells in mice, suppressing the expression of MYADM, MCT1, and Rac1, as well as the phosphorylation of Akt and c-Myc in mouse lung tissues. Conclusion:Cholesterol may induce lung adenocarcinoma cells proliferation and metastasis by regulating the MYADM/Rac1/Akt/c-Myc/MCT1 axis.
