1.Imaging diagnosis reasoning and countermeasures of pulmonary ground-glass nodules
Clinical Medicine of China 2024;40(1):31-35
The pulmonary ground glass nodule (GGN) is a common clinical phenomenon at present, and most of them are tumors. The new classification classifies these neoplastic lesions into pre invasive lesions and invasive adenocarcinoma, and proposes micro invasive carcinoma separately, because the cure rate of surgical resection is almost 100%. Computed tomography (CT) is the first choice for preoperative examination, especially the ultra-high resolution target scanning assisted by physiological ventilation can better display the characteristics of GGN. On this basis, it can effectively determine the aggressiveness of GGN, which is worth recommended.

Pulmonary nodular lesions include benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of malignant pulmonary nodules. Lung adenocarcinoma includes precursor gland lesions minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma and invasive non mucinous adenocarcinoma. The surgical methods and prognosis vary depending on the pathological subtypes. At present, it is proposed that the proportion of micropapillary, solid components in tumor alveolar dissemination and subtypes directly affect surgical methods and prognosis. Therefore, this article proposes that wedge lung resection can be performed for precursor glandular lesions. Subpulmonary lobectomy can be performed for minimally invasive adenocarcinoma. Invasive adenocarcinoma requires lobectomy and lymph node dissection. Even if patients with stage Ia lung adenocarcinoma who contain solid components in tumor alveolar dissemination , micropapillary, and pleural invasion components are recommended for postoperative adjuvant treatment.
3.Recent advances in surgical treatment of pulmonary nodules
Clinical Medicine of China 2024;40(1):41-48
Pulmonary nodules are classified as pure ground glass nodules, part-solid nodules and solid nodules. Surgery is the main treatment for pulmonary nodules. Localization of pulmonary nodules is helpful for accurate resection. The proportion of solid component, size, pathological subtype and lymph node evaluation of pulmonary nodules are the main basis for the selection of surgical methods and the extent of lymph node dissection, but there is no unified standard at present. The management of multiple pulmonary nodules is relatively complex and often requires multidisciplinary discussion. The application of ablation technology makes the treatment of pulmonary nodules more minimally invasive. The treatment concept of pulmonary nodules is rapid recovery and overall minimal invasion.
4.Strengthen multidisciplinary cooperation to help accurate diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules
Clinical Medicine of China 2024;40(1):49-52
With the popularization of low-dose lung CT screening and the renewal of people's concept of physical examination, more and more pulmonary nodules are detected. This paper discusses some hot issues in the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules from five perspectives: the concept and causes of pulmonary nodules, how to improve the diagnostic level of pulmonary nodules, the understanding of pulmonary nodules management in different specialties, the follow-up diagnosis of pulmonary nodules and the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules.

Objective:To explore the related prognostic factors in patients with aortic dissection (AD) after surgery or interventional therapy, and to construct a multi-factor Cox regression analysis nomogram prediction model.Methods:The clinical data of patients diagnosed with AD in the emergency department of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University of Shandong Province from January 2019 to December 2021 were collected to analyze retrospectively. The survival time was followed up, the survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method, the difference of survival rate among different Stanford types was tested by Log-Rank test, and Cox regression univariate and multivariate survival analysis was used to screen the prognostic factors. According to the results of multivariate analysis, the death risk nomogram model after AD was established, the differentiation of the model was evaluated by C-index, the accuracy of the model was evaluated by calibration curve, and the clinical benefit of the model was evaluated by decision curve analysis (DCA).Results:A total of 256 patients with AD were included, the mortality rate was 4.45% (37/256), and the overall survival rates at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after operation were 90.23%, 87.50% and 85.55%, respectively. There was no significant difference in postoperative survival rate among AD patients with different Stanford types (χ 2=2.30, P=0.13). Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that history of hypertension ( HR=3.791, 95% CI 1.150-12.501, P=0.029), number of branch vessels involved ( HR=1.210, 95% CI 1.029-1.422, P=0.021), preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ( HR=0.936, 95% CI 0.880-0.996, P=0.038) and perioperative complications ( HR=4.024, 95% CI 1.839-8.807, P<0.001) were independent prognostic factors in patients with AD. Furthermore, the predictive nomogram model of 3-month, 6-month and 12-month survival rate in patients with AD was constructed, and the C-index was 0.778. The calibration curve indicated that the accuracy of the model was good, and the clinical benefit of the DCA model was good. Conclusions:Hypertension history, the number of branch vessels involved, preoperative LVEF and perioperative complications are independent risk factors of postoperative death in patients with AD. The nomogram prediction model based on the above factors can be used to evaluate the postoperative survival of patients with AD.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between plasma fibrinogen/serum albumin ratio (FAR) and the degree of cerebral artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods:Clinical data of 189 patients with acute cerebral infarction diagnosed and treated in the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College from January 2021 to March 2023 were selected for retrospective analysis. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was improved, and they were divided into four groups according to the degree of intracranial vascular stenosis according to NASCET grading method: no stenosis group (47 cases), mild stenosis group (45 cases), moderate stenosis group (39 cases) and severe stenosis and occlusion group (58 cases). The differences of basic data, plasma fibrinogen/serum albumin ratio (FAR) and other inflammatory indicators among all groups were compared, and the correlation between FAR level and the severity of cerebral artery stenosis was analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to explore the factors influencing to cerebral artery stenosis and ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of FAR in the degree of cerebral artery stenosis in cerebral infarction patients.Results:There were significant differences in blood neutrophil (NEU), mean platelet volume (MPV), fibrinogen (FIB), fibrinogen (FIB), albumin (ALB) and FAR among the 4 groups (statistical values were H=11.50, H=8.44, F=5.16, H=30.93, H=40.38; all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between FAR and the degree of cerebral artery stenosis ( r=0.455, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that FAR was an independent risk factor for the degree of cerebral artery stenosis ( OR=1.445, 95% CI=1.261-1.655, P<0.001). Conclusion:FAR is an independent risk factor for cerebral artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI), and may be a new biomarker for predicting cerebral artery stenosis.
