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 investigate the effects of pain specialist nurse training (PSNT) on nurse’s pain management knowledge and attitude. Methods By distributing the “questionnaire of pain management knowledge and attitude”, 95 certified nurses, who were from 24 hospitals of different levels in Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Xinjiang, were investigated to survey their knowledge and attitude changes before and after PSNT. The data were analyzed by t-test. Results A total of 190 questionnaires were distributed to 95 nurses, and 190 returned, with a effective response rate of 100%. The result showed that, the total score after training (34.00±5.30) was significantly higher than that before training (17.58±4.00), with a significant difference (P=0.000). Conclusion The pain specialist nurse training can improve nurses’ knowledge and their attitudes on pain management.
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.
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.
Objective To investigate the relative factors of sleep disorders in patients after arthroscopic knee surgery.MethodsThe clinical data of 155 patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from October 1st 2017 to April 1st 2018 were analyzed. The sleep quality index was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. According to the scores, the patients were divided into two groups: the sleep disorder group and the non-sleep disorder group. Mindfulness level were evaluated by Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). The binary logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between MAAS and sleep disorders.ResultsAmong the enrolled cases, there were 135 males and 20 females, with an average age of (34.12±12.13) years; 64 patients had poor sleep quality. The results of univariate analysis showed that the payment method, single or bilateral lesions, and MAAS score were the factors affecting sleep (P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis indicated that with medical insurance [odds ratio (OR)=0.118, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.021, 0.671), P=0.016], postoperative pain [OR=3.379, 95%CI (1.164, 9.812), P=0.025], bilateral lesions [OR=3.842, 95%CI (1.040, 14.191), P=0.044], and MAAS score ≥68 [OR=0.046, 95%CI (0.018, 0.121), P<0.001] were independent predictive factors for sleep disorders (P<0.05). Conclusion Postoperative pain reduction and mindfulness training may improve the patients’ sleep quality and reduce the incidence of sleep disorders.
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.

It can induce a circadian variability and recover the dipper blood pressure from nondipper blood pressure.
Objectives To assess the efficacy and safety of cytidine diphosphate choline for patients with acute stroke. Methods Such databases as PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP Database and Chinese Medical Association Journals were searched from the establishment to September of 2010, and the references of the included literatures were also searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of cytidine diphosphate choline for patients with acute stroke. The data were extracted by two reviewers independently in accordance with the inclusion criteria. The quality of included trials was evaluated according to the Jadad scale standard. RevMan5.0 software was used for data analyses. Results Thirteen RCTs involving 2837 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that, there was no significant difference in the mortality or the rate of dependency at the end of follow-up (OR=0.94, 95%CI 0.66 to 1.36, P=0.75) between the cytidine diphosphate choline group and the placebo group. But the total effective rate of the cytidine diphosphate choline group was higher than that of the placebo group with a significant difference (OR=1.72, 95%CI 1.41 to 2.10, Plt;0.000 01). Five trials reported the incidence of adverse reaction of cytidine diphosphate choline treatment which showed the adverse reaction was mild; no severe adverse events (SAEs) were reported and the clinical application was safe. Conclusion The cytidine diphosphate choline is effective and safe for acute stroke. However, it is invalid to reduce the mortality and the rate of dependency at the end of three months’ follow-up.
Objective To observe the feature of post-operative hyperglycemia after coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) surgery in department of intensive care unit（ICU） patients.Methods Patients who had CABG surgery in Zhongshan Hospital from January 2005 to December 2005 were enrolled.Data were collected including the history of diabetes，pre-operative and post-operative blood glucose(BG) levels，and the time that post-operative hyperglycemia and peak BG occurred.The patients were divided into diabetic and non-diabetic groups according to the diabetic history.The data were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results 200 patients were enrolled in this study.The incidence of post-operative hyperglycemia was 77%，and about 99.4% occurred in the first 24 hours admitted to ICU，which was independent on diabetic history (χ2=2.58，P=0.108)，but was related to the BG level above 6.1 mmol/L (χ2=12.31，P=0.000).In 80% of the patients，peak BG occurred in the first 24 hours admitted to ICU，which was significantly earlier in the non-diabetic group compared with the diabetic group (8.5 h vs 18.5 h，P=0.02 ).In the patients who had post-operative hyperglycemia，the median time of the BG peak is 10 hours，and 75.3% of the BG peak occurred in the first 24 hours admitted to ICU.Conclusion There is a high incidence of post-operative hyperglycemia in post-CABG patients which always occur within 24 hours after operation and relate to pre-operative high BG.
