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.

Background Manganese is an essential trace element for the human body and maintains normal development of many organs including the brain. However, long-term exposure to a high manganese environment or excessive manganese intake will lead to manganese poisoning and result in neurological diseases, and currently no effective treatment plan is available. Objective To develop an animal model for subchronic manganese exposure and assess the impact of Dendrobium nobile Lindl. alkaloids (DNLA) on manganese associated behavioral and hippocampal effects in rats. Methods Fifty male SPF SD rats were randomly allocated into a control group (0.9% normal saline by intraperitoneal injection), two experimental groups [7.5 mg·kg⁻¹ (low) or 15 mg·kg⁻¹ (high) of MnCl₂·4H₂O by intraperitoneal injection], and two DNLA antagonistic groups [15 mg·kg⁻¹ MnCl₂·4H₂O by intraperitoneal injection then either 20 mg·kg⁻¹ (low) or 40 mg·kg⁻¹ (high) DNLA by oral administration]. All groups of rats were adminaistered 5 d per wek, once a day, for consecutive 13 weeks. Following modeling, neurobehavioral assessments were conducted using open field, Morris water maze, and Y maze. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was utilized to measure manganese levels in the blood and brain tissues of the rats, and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was employed to examine neuronal morphological changes in the hippocampal tissues of the rats. Results The neurobehavioral tests revealed that the manganese-exposed rats exhibited decreased total movement distance, prolonged central zone dwelling time, and reduced motor activity in the open field test, indicating tendencies toward depression and anxiety (P<0.05). In the Y-maze test, the mean exploration distance in the novel arm, the number of entries into the novel arm, and the time spent in the novel arm of the managanses-exposed rats were all reduced, while the latency period increased, suggesting impaired spatial exploration and learning-memory functions (P<0.05). In the Morris water maze navigation test, the escape latency was significantly longer in the manganese-exposed rats compared to the control group, and the number of platform crossings decreased in the spatial probe test, indicating a significant decline in spatial learning and memory (P<0.05). The ICP-MS analysis showed elevated manganese concentrations in the blood and hippocampus of the exposed rats (P<0.05), and the histopathological observation revealed hippocampal damage. Following the DNLA intervention, the manganese-exposed rats showed increased total movement distance and reduced central zone dwelling time in the open field test (P<0.05). In the Y-maze test, the mean exploration distance in the novel arm, the number of entries into the novel arm, and the time spent in the novel arm increased, while the latency period decreased, suggesting alleviation of anxiety and improved exploratory behavior (P<0.05). In the Morris water maze test, the escape latency gradually shortened, and both the number of platform crossings and the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant increased, indicating improved spatial learning and memory (P<0.05). Additionally, the manganese levels in the blood and hippocampus decreased (P<0.05), and the hippocampal pathological changes were partially restored. Conclusion DNLA demonstrates the ability to counteract multiple neurotoxic effects following the elevation of manganese levels in the blood and hippocampal tissues of rats induced by subchronic manganese exposure. Specifically, DNLA is shown to ameliorate the behavioral alterations observed in rats after manganese exposure, and mitigate the hippocampal damage in manganese-exposed rats.

AIM:To explore the expression level of vitamin D receptor(VDR)in lung adenocarcinoma and its impact on the biological function of lung adenocarcinoma cells.METHODS:The mRNA expression level of VDR in lung adenocarcinoma and its relationship with prognosis were analyzed through 6 lung adenocarcinoma datasets(compris-ing a total of 792 lung adenocarcinoma tissues and 230 adjacent non-tumor tissues).Immunohistochemistry was used to de-tect VDR protein expression in 30 lung cancer patients.Lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549 and H1650 were studied,with transfection of negative control(NC)or two VDR short hairpin RNAs(VDR-shRNAs).CCK-8 assay compared the cell viability of cells in each experimental group.Transwell and wound-healing assays compared the invasion and migra-tion capabilities.Gene set enrichment analysis identified pathways enriched in lung adenocarcinoma tissues with high VDR expression.RESULTS:The mRNA expression level of VDR was significantly increased in lung adenocarcinoma tissues(P<0.01).Immunohistochemistry further confirmed the high expression of VDR in lung adenocarcinoma(P<0.01).The survival analysis showed that the expression of VDR had no significant effect on the overall survival of lung ad-enocarcinoma patients(P>0.05).Knockdown of VDR significantly inhibited the cell viability,invasion,and migration ca-pacity of lung adenocarcinoma cells(P<0.05).Gene set enrichment analysis showed that lung adenocarcinoma tissues with high VDR expression were enriched in signaling pathways such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:VDR is highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma,and VDR knockdown can inhibit the cell viability,in-vasion,and migration capacity of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Objective:To investigate the expression of XIAP and Smac in human non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and the relationship with clinical significance and prognosis. Methods:Immunohistochemical staining was performed to determine the ex-pression of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) and second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase (Smac) in 70 cases of NSCLC and 70 cases of non-cancerous adjacent lung tissues. Results:XIAP is mostly present (59/70) in tumor tissues with 16 high ex-pressions, whereas only five high expressions in non-cancerous adjacent lung tissues are observed (52/70). The statistical difference of these two sets of data is significant (Z=-5.484, P<0.001). Comparatively, Smac is present (63/70) in tumor tissues, which is significant-ly (Z=-5.484, P<0.001) higher than in the non-cancerous adjacent lung tissues (53/70). The expression levels of XIAP and Smac in NSCLC tissues are closely related to the lymph node metastasis at the TNM stages (P<0.05) and not associated to gender, age, size of tumor, and differentiation grades (P>0.05). The Kaplan-Meier analysis results show that survival by XIAP and Smac protein in NSCLC has no significant effect (P>0.05). Conclusion:XIAP and Smac are expressed in NSCLC and noncancerous adjacent lung tissues, and the differences in their expression levels is significant. The deterioration of NSCLC results in apoptosis/anti-apoptotic synchronized with tumor cell proliferation. The expression levels of XIAP and Smac in NSCLC are not related with the prognosis.

Chemotherapy completion rate can reflect the tolerance and compliance of patients to chemotherapy. Poor tolerance may result in delay or suspension of the comprehensive treatment plan, thus affect the efficacy of cancer treatment. Evaluating methods to improve the completion rate of chemotherapy and reduce the occurrence of delayed chemotherapy has gained increasing attention and is the significant area of study in the field of cancer treatment. Studies have shown that Chinese medicine combined with chemotherapy could improve the quality of life in patients with stage IIIB/IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Recently the maintenance therapy of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who completed required treatment cycles has caused widespread interests in the medical field. Traditional Chinese medicine may be a useful complement in maintenance treatment of mid-to-late stage NSCLC.

BACKGROUNDLung carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in China.The increasing incidence of lung cancer has been alerted and multimodality treatments including surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy etc.have been highly aware.However,the outcome of treatment in lung cancer remains poor,because there is still no definite molecular targeting drug affecting its biological behavior significantly.To find an useful clinical tool,the aims of this study are to explore the effects of a novel monoclonal antibody targeting at the α-strain of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor(IGF1-αR) on lung adenocarcinoma cell lines.

METHODSThe novel monoclonal antibody targeting at IGF1-αR was exacted by hybrid cell processes and purified by Protein G column.The effects of growth were investigated on SPCA-1 and A549 cell lines by MTT curve lines and the expression of Ki67.

RESULTSThe combination of IGF1 with IGF1-αR could be competitively inhibited by the novel monoclonal antibody significantly.Intervented by the novel monoclonal antibody,SPCA-1 and A549 cell lines proliferated more slowly than that of the respective control,with significant statistic value(P < 0.05).Besides,the expression of Ki67 showed significant downregulation under the invention of the monoclonal antibody.

CONCLUSIONSThe special monoclonal antibody extracted in our laboratory shows good affinity with IGF1-αR,and can inhibit the growth of SPCA-1 and A549 cell lines.

Purpose:To study the effect of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor ?-strain(IGF1R-?) interrupted by a special antibody (IGFⅠR-?Mab)on lung adenoma cell line SPC-A-1.Methods:IGFⅠR-?Mab was extracted by hybrid technology. SPC-A-1 cells were separated into 2 groups,the IGFⅠR-?Mab and the blank control. The IGFⅠR-?Mab cells were interfered by different densities of IGFⅠR-?Mab, including 20,40,60,80,100,120,140,160,180 and 200 ng/ml. The MTT curve line, morphology, ultrastructure and cell cycles were observed at 0,24,48,72 hours after the intervention respectively. Results:Compared with the control, apoptosis in IGFⅠR-?Mab group was significant(P= 0.009)and proliferation rate was decreased obviously within 160 ng/ml. However, the proliferation rate was no significant when the special antibody density was more than 200 ng/ml.Conclusions:The affinity of IGFⅠR-?Mab at IGF1R ?-strain is high. The interruption of IGF1R ?-strain by IGFⅠR-?Mab shows the obvious biological effects in vitro ,with inclusion of promoting apoptosis and suppressing proliferation, which indicate the interruption targeting IGF1R ?-strain is prospective for non-small-cell lung carcinoma.
