Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality in China. Early diagnosis and early treatment is the key to improve the survival and prognosis of patients with lung cancer. In recent years, many studies have focused on biomarkers of lung cancer. Emerging biomarkers tests have shown some potential in lung cancer screening. Combining biomarkers, imaging omics and artificial intelligence to establish a comprehensive model for lung cancer screening and prediction may be the development direction for improving lung cancer screening in the future. This paper summarizes the application of biomarkers in lung cancer screening, introduces the emerging biomarkers and new technologies, and discusses the application prospects of biomarkers in lung cancer screening, in order to providea theoretical basis for improving screening, early diagnosis and early treatment of lung cancer.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of intensive versus routine education on diabetes mellitus for preventing diabetic foot ulcer. Methods We electronically searched CENTRAL (Issue 1, 2013), PubMed (1978-2013), EMbase (1978-2013), VIP (1989-2013) and WanFang Data (1980-2013), hand-searched correlated proceedings and retrieved the references of included studies, for the randomized controlled trials on intensive versus routine education on diabetes mellitus for preventing diabetic foot ulcer all over the world. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. Results Twelve trials involving 1 841 patients were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: a) the incidence of diabetic foot ulcer in the intensive education group was lower than the routine group, with a significant difference (RR=0.51, 95%CI 0.30 to 0.84, P=0.008); b) two groups were alike in the amputation rate, with no significant difference (OR=0.54, 95%CI 0.17 to 1.67, P=0.28); and c) the score of knowledge on diabetes mellitus was higher in the intensive education group than in the routine education group, with a significant difference (MD=7.32, 95%CI 3.57 to 11.06, P=0.000 1). Conclusion Current evidence shows that: compared with routine education, intensive education could reduce the incidence of diabetic foot ulcer effectively. However, the above conclusion should be verified by conducting more high quality studies.
Objective To study the special traits of primiparae’s compliance with labor analgesia, so as to offer individualized analgesia solutions during spontaneous labor. Methods The uniparous primiparae with cephalic presentation between gestational weeks 38 and 40 were divided into two groups based on their educational background (college education or above, and high school education or below), each group with 20 cases. The demographical statistics of the two groups including their State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) grading, PCA results, and delivery situation were recorded and analyzed. Results Differences in age, height, and weight were not statisticallysignificant (Pgt;0.05); differences in T-AI were not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05); differences in S-AI were statistically significant (Plt;0.05); differences in anxiety and numbers of adding anesthetics were not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05); differences in failure to tolerate labor pains and requiring caesarean section were statistically significant (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Primiparae with higher educational degree tend to have higher S-AI grading and perform poorly in compliance with labor analgesia.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the incidence of financial toxicity among cancer patients in China. MethodsThe Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, CNKI, and WanFang databases were searched to collect studies on the prevalence of financial toxicity among cancer patients in China from January 2016 to April 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. A meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 16.0 software. ResultsA total of 24 studies involving 8 799 participants were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the prevalence of financial toxicity among cancer patients was 67.4% (95%CI 60.9% to 74.0%) in China. The subgroup analysis showed that sex, educational level, type of medical insurance, cancer site and stage, the cut-off of the instrument, and region were all influential factors of financial toxicity among cancer patients. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that high prevalence of financial toxicity among cancer patients. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients after abdominal surgery. MethodsThe clinical data of 2 286 patients over 60 years old after abdominal surgery were retrospectively analyzed, which were divided into non-POCD group with 2 248 patients and POCD group with 38 patients. The influencing factors of POCD in elderly patients after abdominal surgery, including the age, gender, anesthetic way, the premedication, cormobided with lung or heart disease, diabetes, jaundice, anemia or hypoproteinemia, the duration of surgery, and postoperative analgesia protocols, were analyzed between two groups. ResultsThe age, anesthetic way, cormobided with lung or heart disease, diabetes, jaundice, with or without continuous postoperative effective analgesia, and surgery duration over four hours were relevant with POCD (Plt;0.05), while gender, the premedication, and preexisted anemia or hypoproteinemia were not relevant with that (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionAge over 70 years, general anaesthesia, cormobided with lung or heart disease, diabetes, jaundice, surgery duration over four hours, and incomplete postoperative analgesia are the risk factors of POCD after abdominal surgery.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the incidence of various outcomes in non-visualization of the fetal gallbladder (NVFGB) fetuses by prenatal ultrasonography.MethodsPubMed, The Cochrane Library, Elsevier, ClinicalKey, CBM, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect studies on NVFGB fetuses by prenatal ultrasonography from January 1990 to March 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using R 3.5.2 software.ResultsA total of 9 studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: the incidence of fetal biliary atresia was 1.0%, with 2.0% in the isolated and 3.0% in the non-isolated. The incidence of cystic fibrosis was 6.0%, with 2.0% in the isolated and 9.0% in the non-isolated. The incidence of chromosomal abnormality was 5.0%, and 31.0% in non-isolated. The incidence of other malformations other than those described above was 13.0%, with 44.0% in the non-isolated. The incidence of gallbladder agenesis or absent gallbladder was 22.0%, with 28.0% in the isolated. The incidence of later visualization of gallbladder and normal fetal outcomes was 53.0%, with 63.0% in the isolated.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that most non-visualization of the fetal gallbladder can identify the presence of gallbladder during late gestation or neonatal ultrasonography. The exactly isolated non-visualization of the fetal gallbladder is highly related to the fetal gallbladder agenesis or the absence of the gallbladder. The non-isolated non-visualization of the fetal gallbladder is highly related to biliary atresia, cystic fibrosis (particularly in the presence of fetal bowel echogenicity), and chromosomal abnormalities (especially chromosome aneuploidy).
Family members are crucial for medical disputes. From the psychology and social perspective, the paper analyzes a specific medical dispute case, and discusses the psychological care for (potential) " shidu” (loss of the only child) family. Based on the current social context, an early intervention suggestion is proposed, that is to provide the whole-process psychological intervention to the special patients’ families. The intervention includes: regular psychological evaluation and psychological support if necessary; providing disease knowledge and death education; providing continuous psychological care by the hospital and community; offerring more psychological care for " shidu” family by society.

Methods A total of 126 patients with psoriasis vulgaris treated in our hospital from February 2007 to November 2010 were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group. Seventy-two patients in the treatment group were treated with NB-UVB radiotherapy combined with compound glycyrrhizin, and 54 patients in the control group were treated with NB-UVB radiotherapy alone. The curative effects were evaluated in terms of the area of injury and therapeutic effect indexes. Results The PASI score after treatment for both groups was obviously lower than before, and the score of the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group after treatment. The efficacy rate was respectively 87.5% and 79.6% for the treatment group and the control group, with a significant difference (Plt;0.05). Conclusion NB-UVB combined with compound glycyrrhizin is safe and effective in treating psoriasis vulgaris, and it is worth popularizing.
