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 propose a new protocol for personalized mandibular reconstruction assisted by three-dimensional (3D) retrieval model based on fully connected neural network (FCNN) and a database of mandibles, and to verify clinical feasibility of the protocol. METHODS: A database of mandibles of 300 normal northern Chinese Han people was established. On the basis of cephalometry, the mandible landmarks with good stability were further screened. Mandibular landmarks were selected and geometric features of the mandible were extracted. A 3D retrieval algorithm was developed, which could retrieve the mandible most similar to a given mandible from the database. A FCNN was built to train the algorithm to improve accuracy of the 3D retrieval model. Using Geomagic Control 2014 software, matching accuracy of the 3D retrieval model was based on aforementioned mandible database and algorithm. From December 2019 to March 2021, a total of 5 patients underwent personalized mandibular reconstruction assisted by a 3D retrieval model based on mandible database and FCNN in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The most similar mandible was retrieved from mandible database through 3D retrieval algorithm. It was used to restore the premorbid morphology of defect area and guide mandibular reconstruction. For the 5 patients, mandible was reconstructed with iliac flap. Virtual surgical plan was transformed using individual surgical guides. RESULTS: Through screening, mandibular landmarks with high reproducibility and stability were identified and composed of mandibular landmarker protocols. After training, the average deviation between most similar mandible retrieved from the 300-case mandible database through 3D retrieval model based on FCNN and given mandible was (1.77±0.44) mm. And the root-mean-square deviation between the most similar mandible retrieved from the database and given mandible was (2.58±0.86) mm. The mandibular reconstruction surgery was successful in all the 5 patients. Their facial symmetry and occlusion were restored. All the patients were satisfied with postoperative appearance. The mean deviation between postoperative mandible and preoperative design was (0.98±0.17) mm. The area with a deviation ≤1 mm accounted for 61.34%±14. 13%, ≤2 mm accounted for 83.82%±7.35%, and ≤3 mm accounted for 93.94%± 2.87%. CONCLUSION The personalized mandibular reconstruction assisted by 3D retrieval model based on the 300-case mandible database and FCNN is feasible clinically.

Objective:To evaluate the safety of neoadjuvant therapy with pembrolizumab combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin in patients with advanced temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC), and its impact on tumor response rate and disease-free survival (DFS).Methods:This prospective, single-arm, open-label clinical study enrolled patients with advanced (Stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ) TBSCC from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. Patients received 2-3 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with pembrolizumab, 5-FU, and cisplatin, followed by definitive surgery. Postoperatively, patients received 6 cycles of pembrolizumab combined with radiotherapy. The primary endpoint was the 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR) and safety indicators. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Adverse events (AE) were assessed using the National Cancer Institute′s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software, version 22.0.Results:From August 2021 to April 2024, 16 patients with advanced TBSCC were enrolled (13 males and 3 females), with a median age of 54 years and a median follow-up time of 2.32 years. Following neoadjuvant therapy, the objective response rate (ORR) was 64.3% (9/14), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 92.9% (13/14). The 2-year DFS rate was 86.6%. Common treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) included leukopenia (56.3%, 9/16), nausea and vomiting (50.0%, 8/16), diarrhea, oral mucositis, and elevated liver function tests (25.0%, 4/16). One patient (6.25%) experienced a grade 3 adverse event.Conclusion:Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab-chemotherapy significantly enhances objective response rate and disease-free survival in advanced TBSCC.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of robot-assisted surgery in children with cholangiectasis under 3 months of age.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 53 children with cholangiectasis under 3 months admitted to Department of General Surgery of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from April 2019 to December 2024 were included retrospectively. According to the surgical method, the patients were divided into robot-assisted surgery(RAS) group(5 males, 24 females, age ( M(IQR)) 49.0(36.0)days (range: 19.0 to 90.0 days), weight 5.00(1.65)kg (range: 3.40 to 7.50 kg)) and laparoscopic-assisted surgery(LAS) group (5 males, 19 females, age 55.5(27.3)days (range: 18.0 to 87.0 days), weight 4.90 (1.62)kg (range: 3.50 to 6.20 kg)). Nineteen cases in each group were prenatally diagnosed. Data were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Pearson χ 2 test, respectively. Results:No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in age, sex, weight, or preoperative biochemical indices(all P>0.05). All procedures were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. Postoperative biochemical indices, fasting duration, cyst diameter, operative time, drainage tube retention time, and follow-up duration showed no significant differences between the groups(all P>0.05). Compared to the LAS group, the RAS group demonstrated significantly shorter postoperative hospital stays (9.0(5.0)days (range:7.0 to 18.0 days) vs. 11.5(5.5)days (range:7.0 to 38.0 days), U=236.5, P=0.044) and hepaticojejunostomy time (15.0(3.5)minutes (range:11.0 to 22.0 minutes) vs. 18.0(3.0)minutes (range:13.0 to 25.0 minutes), U=144.5, P=0.001). However, the RAS group incurred higher surgical costs (78 099.9(10 100.1)yuan (range: 72 148.7 to 112 898.6 yuan) vs. 30 158.6(15 283.1)yuan (range: 25 041.7 to 107 673.1 yuan), U=41.0, P<0.01). In the LAS group, 3 patients developed anastomotic leakage requiring reoperation, while the RAS group had 1 case of anastomotic stenosis 2 years postoperatively (received second hepaticojejunostomy) and 1 case of incision infection(received incision debridement and dressing of the abscess). Conclusion:Robot-assisted surgery can be used to treat children with cholangiectasis under 3 months of age and may achieve good results.

AIM:To investigate the therapeutic effect of recombinant human interleukin-37(rhIL-37)inter-vention on extracellular matrix deposition in human bronchial epithelial cells exposed to fine particulate matter(PM2.5),and to explore the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:An airway injury cell model was established using normal human bronchial epithelial 16HBE cells treated with various concentrations(6.25,12.5,25 and 50 mg/L)of PM2.5.Western blot and immunofluorescence were employed to assess the expression level of Wnt family member 5a(Wnt5a).The con-centration of PM2.5 that maximized Wnt5a expression was identified as the optimal concentration for further analysis.The cells were divided into 3 groups,PM2.5+siRNA,PM2.5+Wnt5a siRNA and control+Wnt5a siRNA,to evaluate the expres-sion of fibronectin,the secretion of IL-6 and IL-1β,and the production of reactive oxygen species(ROS).A subsequent set of experiments was organized into PM2.5+rhIL-37,PM2.5 and control groups to determine whether rhIL-37 down-regu-lates the expression of Wnt5a and fibronectin,and reduces the secretion of IL-6 and IL-1β.RESULTS:(1)After 24 h of exposure to various concentrations of PM2.5,the expression of Wnt5a in 16HBE cells was significantly elevated,except at 50 mg/L,compared with control group(P＜0.05).The highest Wnt5a expression was observed at 12.5 mg/L PM2.5(P＜0.01).(2)Fibronectin expression peaked after 24 h of exposure to PM2.5 at 12.5 mg/L(P＜0.01).(3)Successful knock-down of Wnt5a resulted in decreased levels of fibronectin and nuclear factor E2-related factor(Nrf2).Additionally,the production of ROS and the secretion of IL-6 and IL-1β were significantly reduced compared with control group(P＜0.01).(4)The administration of rhIL-37 before PM2.5 exposure led to decreased levels of Wnt5a,fibronectin and Nrf2 compared with PM2.5 group(P＜0.05).Furthermore,rhIL-37 treatment reduced the ROS production and the secretion of IL-6 and IL-1β(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:In vitro cell models demonstrate that PM2.5 can induce extracellular matrix deposition in bronchial epithelial cells,potentially through the modulation of inflammatory response and oxidative stress influenced by Wnt5a.Additionally,rhIL-37 appears to mitigate inflammatory response and oxidative stress by down-regulating Wnt5a.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)accounts for over 90％of oral malignancies,with more than 370 000 new cases and approximately 188 000 deaths annually worldwide.In China,there are roughly 65 000 new cases and 35 000 deaths each year,showing a significant upward trend compared with 2015 statistics.Despite continuous advancements in treatment modalities,the 5-year survival rate remains stagnant at 50％-60％,where tumor heterogeneity and therapy resistance persist as fundamental barriers to precision oncology.To address these critical challenges,this study established a standardized bioban-king protocol for OSCC patient-derived organoids(PDOs)(Patent:Method for constructing an oral squa-mous cell carcinoma organoid bank,ZL202311378598.3).Through groundbreaking optimization of cul-ture media,enzymatic digestion kinetics,and stepwise cryopreservation,we achieved a biobanking suc-cess rate exceeding 95％and pioneered synchronous cultivation of matched primary tumors,lymph node metastases,and adjacent normal mucosa from individual patients,preserving spatial heterogeneity and stromal interactions.Leveraging this platform,we developed high-throughput drug screening:Quantified heterogeneity-driven differential chemoresponse using adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-based viability as-says;We discovered resistance mechanisms:Identified sialylated cancer IgG(SIA-cIgG)-mediated cis-platin resistance(primary/secondary)through PTPN13 suppression,with anti-SIA-cIgG combination therapy demonstrating synergistic efficacy.Besides,we elucidated metastatic drivers:CRISPR-Cas9-edited organoids revealed WDR54 promoted metastasis via H3K4me3/H4K16ac epigenetic reprogramming,activating epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity(EMP)and inducing partial epithelial-mesenchymal transi-tion(pEMT).This"holographic patient-mirroring"platform provided unprecedented resolution for OSCC precision therapy and had been formally incorporated into the Chinese Stomatological Association Techni-cal Guidelines(Technical guideline for establishing patient-derived oral squamous cell carcinoma or-ganoid banks,CHSA 2024-08).Future integration of immune-competent organoids,3D-bioprinted vas-culature,and multi-omics-AI systems will accelerate personalized oncology.These innovations will accelerate clinical translation of personalized therapeutic regimens,ultimately bridging the gap between bench research and bedside application.
