Surgical treatment is one of the key approaches for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Regular postoperative follow-up is crucial for early detection and timely management of tumor recurrence, metastasis, or second primary tumors. A scientifically sound and reasonable follow-up strategy not only extends patient survival but also significantly improves quality of life, thereby enhancing overall prognosis. This consensus aims to build upon the previous version by incorporating the latest clinical research advancements and refining postoperative follow-up protocols for early-stage NSCLC patients based on different treatment modalities. It provides a scientific and practical reference for clinicians involved in the postoperative follow-up management of NSCLC. By optimizing follow-up strategies, this consensus seeks to promote the standardization and normalization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment in China, helping more patients receive high-quality care and long-term management. Additionally, the release of this consensus is expected to provide insights for related research and clinical practice both domestically and internationally, driving continuous development and innovation in the field of postoperative management for NSCLC.

Background:
and Purpose Essential tremor with a midline distribution (Mid-ET) may represent a distinct subtype of essential tremor (ET) that primarily affects midline structures, often indicating advanced disease stage and increased severity. Recent studies have highlighted the complexity of Mid-ET, but research on neurological soft signs (NSS) in Mid-ET remains insufficient.
Methods:
The patients with ET included in this cross-sectional study were divided into two subgroups based on whether or not the ET had a midline distribution: Mid-ET and No-MidET. Comparative analyses were performed to assess clinical features and NSS prevalence in these subgroups.
Results:
Among 1,160 patients, 567 (48.9%) were Mid-ET and 593 (51.1%) were No-Mid-ET.The prevalence rates of head, face (including the jaw), and voice tremors were 31.9%, 23.0%, and 25.8%, respectively. In Mid-ET, tremor often affects multiple midline structures simultaneously. In the entire cohort, 24.7%, 16.6%, and 7.6% of patients exhibited tremors in one, two, and three midline structures, respectively. The prevalence of common NSS, including mild cognitive impairment, impaired tandem gait, and questionable dystonic posturing, was significantly higher in the Mid-ET than the No-Mid-ET subgroup (all p<0.001). Furthermore, we found that female sex (p<0.001), olfactory dysfunction (p=0.003), and questionable dystonic posturing (p=0.004) were associated with Mid-ET.
Conclusions
Mid-ET and No-Mid-ET presented significant clinical differences. The presence of questionable dystonic posturing may contribute to the distinct characteristics of Mid-ET, suggesting the presence of pathophysiological differences between the subgroups. Further investigations are warranted to determine the potential pathophysiological link between NSS and Mid-ET.

Objective:To study the correlation between spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and increased intracranial pressure.Methods:Clinical data of patients with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Provincial Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023 and their epidemiology, clinical symptoms and signs, preoperative cerebrospinal fluid pressure, imaging data, leakage site, repair method and the presence or absebce of increased intracranial pressure were analysed. SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:Of the 57 patients with cerebrospinal fluid nasolacrimal leakage, 84.2%(48/57) were females and 15.8%(9/57) were males; 80.7%(46/57) were between 40 and 60 years old; and overweight and obese patients accounted for 75.4%(43/57). Of 57 patients, 35 patients received cranial MRI+magnetic resonance venography, and among them, 12(34.3%) patients were clinically with headache symptoms; the incidences of empty pterygoid and venous sinus stenosis were 40.0%(14/35) and 51.4%(18/35), respectively; and 33 patients underwent preoperative lumbar puncture examination, of whom 25(75.8%) patients had the increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure and 1 patient had idiopathic intracranial hypertension. All 57 patients underwent dural repair of the skull base, the postoperative follow-up period ranged from 3 to 60 months, and the success rate of surgery was 94.7%. The success rate was 100% in female patients and 33.3%(3/9) in male patients, including one with surgical failure receiving reoperation and two with postoperative recurrence in other areas of the skull base, with significant difference in the success rate of surgery between males and females (χ 2=16.890, P<0.001). Conclusions:Most patients with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea have the increased cerebrospinal fluid pressures, but very few fulfil the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The success rate of surgical repair alone is high, but some recurrences still exist, especially in male patients.

Objective To explore the neuroprotective effect of coenzyme Q10 and its possible mechanism in mice with chronic restraint stress(CRS).Methods Mouse models of CRS were treated with intraperitoneal injections of coenzyme Q10 at low,moderate and high doses(50,100 and 200 mg/kg,respectively,n=8),VX765(a caspase-1 specific inhibitor,50 mg/kg,n=8),or fluoxetine(10 mg/kg,n=8)on a daily basis for 4 weeks,and the changes in depression-like behaviors of the mice were assessed by sugar water preference test,forced swimming test and tail suspension test.The expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)in the hippocampus of the mice was detected using immunohistochemistry,and the number of synaptic spines was determined with Golgi staining.Western blotting was performed to detect the changes in the expressions of GFAP and pyroptosis-related proteins in the hippocampus,and the colocalization of neurons and caspase-1 p10 was examined with immunofluorescence assay.Results Compared with the normal control mice,the mouse models of CRS showed significantly reduced sugar water preference and increased immobility time in forced swimming and tail suspension tests(P<0.05),and these depression-like behaviors were obviously improved by treatment with coenzyme Q10,VX765 or FLX.The mouse models showed a significantly decreased positive rate of GFAP and lowered GFAP protein expression in the hippocampus with obviously decreased synaptic spines,enhanced expressions of GSDMD-N,caspase-1 and IL-1β,and increased colocalization of neurons and caspase-1 p10(all P<0.05).All these changes were significantly ameliorated in the mouse models after treatment with Q10.Conclusion Coenzyme Q10 can alleviate depression-like behaviors in mice with CRS by down-regulating the pyroptosis signaling pathway.
