Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest mortality and the fastest growing incidence,which seriously threatens human life and health.With the popularization of low-dose spiral CT and the enhancement of public awareness of physical examination,more and more ground-glass nodules have been detected.Accumulating studies have shown that for patients with nodules diameter≤2 cm and ground-glass opacity≥50% ,under the condition of ensuring the cutting edge,thoracoscopic sublobectomy or subsegmentectomy can more effectively preserve the lung function of patients,and has gradually become the recommended surgical method.In recent years,with the continuous improvement of thoracoscopic surgery technology,thoracoscopic subsegmentectomy and combined subsegmentectomy have been gradually carried out.Compared with lobectomy and segmentectomy,subsegmental resection can retain more normal lung tissue and reduce the loss of lung function under the condition of ensuring the safe cutting edge.However,thoracoscopic subsegmental resection requires a higher level of surgical technique and anatomical knowledge for the operator,and is rarely reported in relevant literature.Therefore,this article reviews the progress of anatomical subsegmentectomy and combined subsegmentectomy in the treatment of early non-small cell lung cancer.

BACKGROUND:Our previous studies found that adding barium sulfate could improve the mechanical and radiopaque properties of calcium phosphate cement.However,with the degradation of calcium phosphate,the remaining radiopaque agent is difficult to degrade,and the space-occupying and osteoclast effects at the implantation site affect the bone repair process.Therefore,it is necessary to develop a new biodegradable radiopaque material. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the radiopaque ability of bioactive degradable material strontium polyphosphate(SrPP)and its impact on the physicochemical properties and osteogenic effect of calcium phosphate cement. METHODS:(1)Calcium phosphate cement(CPC),starch modified calcium phosphate cement(CPS)and starch modified calcium phosphate cement(20%SrPP-CPN)containing SrPP(20%mass fraction of bone cement powder)were prepared respectively,and the physicochemical properties of the three groups of bone cements were characterized.(2)The three groups of bone cement extracts were co-cultured with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,respectively,to detect cell proliferation,energy metabolism,and osteogenic differentiation.(3)Bone defects with a diameter of 5 mm were made on each side of the top of the skull of 24 SD rats,and they were randomly divided into control group(without any intervention),CPC group,CPS group,and 20%SrPP-CPN group for intervention,with 6 rats in each group.Relevant tests were performed after 4 and 12 weeks of intervention. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the other two groups of bone cement,20%SrPP-CPN had enhanced radiopaque ability,increased compressive strength and degradation rate,and prolonged curing time,and 20%SrPP-CPN could release Sr2+ stably during degradation.(2)CCK-8 assay showed that 20%SrPP-CPN did not affect the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Cell starvation test(serum-free culture)showed that 20%SrPP-CPN could promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with the other two groups of bone cement.Compared with the other two groups of bone cements,20%SrPP-CPN increased adenosine triphosphate concentration in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining showed that 20%SrPP-CPN could promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with the other two groups of bone cement.(3)In the rat skull defect experiment,Micro-CT scanning and histological observation(hematoxylin-eosin and Masson stainings)showed that bone cement in 20%SrPP-CPN group was significantly degraded compared with that in CPC and CPS groups,and a large number of new bone tissues were dispersed in degraded bone cement.Immunohistochemical staining showed that Runx2 protein expression was increased in 20%SrPP-CPN group compared with CPC group and CPS group(P<0.01).(4)These results show that 20%SrPP-CPN has good radiopaque ability and osteogenic properties.

Objectives:To analyze the status and temporal changes of disability-adjusted life year (DALY) for stomach and colorectal cancers among registered permanent residents in Changning District of Shanghai Municipality, and provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of stomach and colorectal cancers in this district.Methods:Using the cancer registration data of stomach and colorectal cancers from 2002 to 2019, we estimated the indices such as the DALYs, the DALY crude rates, the age-standardized DALY rates, etc. Then we used the Joinpoint regression model to calculate the average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC) to explore the temporal variations in different periods.Results:The DALYs of stomach and colorectal cancers in Changning District from 2002 to 2019 were 55 931 person years and 65 252 person years, respectively. The crude rates of DALY were 512.16/10 5 and 597.51/10 5, respectively. We observed a higher disease burden in men than in women, and the peak rate of DALY in stomach cancer was in the 75-79 years age group, while in colorectal cancer the rate was in the 85-years-or-older age group. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that from 2002 to 2019, the age-standardized DALY rate of stomach cancer showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.86%, P<0.05), while the trend of colorectal cancer was not statistically significant(AAPC=-0.08%, P>0.05). However, the trends in the age-standardized DALY rates of colorectal cancer were different between males and females, with males showing an upward trend (AAPC=1.24%, P<0.05) and females showing a downward trend (AAPC=-1.67%, P<0.05). Conclusions:The DALY of stomach and colorectal cancers in Changning District of Shanghai showed a decreasing trend. Males and the middle-aged and elderly populations are still the key targets for disease prevention and control in this district.

Objective:To explore the efficiency of radial collateral artery perforator flap to reconstruct defects of thumb web contracture release.Methods:The data of patients with moderate to severe thumb web contracture treated with radial collateral artery perforator flap from September 2018 to September 2022 in Department of Orthopedics-Hand Microsurgery of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University were analyzed retrospectively. A skin flap with the radial collateral artery perforating point as the center and the line connecting the deltoid muscle insertion point and the apex of the humeral lateral condyle as the axis were designed before surgery. During the operation, the skin scar in the thumb web area was first removed, and the contracted tissues such as deep fascia and muscles were loosened. Then, a skin flap was harvested along the design line and transferred to the recipient site. After vascular and nerve anastomosis under a microscope, the incision was intermittently sutured and a drainage tube was placed. The blood flow of the flap and complication were monitored closely. In the last follow-up, the distance and angle of thumb web were observed; the appearance, sensory recovery (excellent, good, moderate, and poor) and the hand function (S0 level to S4 level represented feeling no recovery to complete recovery) were evaluated.Results:A total of 8 patients were included, including 7 males and 1 female, aged 23-56 years (average of 40.3 years old). The distance of thumb web was 20-38 mm (average 26.9 mm), and the angle was 22°-36° (average 27.4°) before surgery. Five hands were classified as severe thumb web contracture, and 3 hands were moderate. The sizes of perforator flap were from 5.5 cm×3.5 cm-13.0 cm×6.5 cm. Seven flaps survived uneventfully and venous congestion occurred in 1 flap. After exploration, the flap survived completely. Primary healing of wounds occurred in the donor and recipient areas. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 6 months to 2.5 years (average 13.6 months). In the last follow-up, the distance of thumb web was 48-63 mm (average 57.1 mm), and the angle was 40°-52° (average 44.8°) post-operation. Thumb web function evaluation: excellent in 5 cases and good in 3 cases. All patients were satisfied with the thumb web. Sensory recovered to S3 in 3 cases, S2 in 4 cases and S1 in 1 case. The donor site healed well, leaving scars. There was no radial nerve damage, and elbow joint movement was normal.Conclusion:The radial collateral artery perforator flap has reliable blood supply, relatively simple operation and the appearance and function of thumb web restored well postoperatively. The application of radial collateral artery perforator flap is an effective procedure to repair the thumb web contracture.

Objective:To investigate the long-term clinical value of composite biomaterial mesh in inguinal hernia repair.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled non-inferiority study was conducted. The clinical data of 172 adult patients with inguinal hernia who were admitted to 3 medical centers, including Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University et al, from July 2014 to February 2015 were selected. Based on random number table, patients were divided into two groups. Patients underwent technique of abdominal wall reinforcement with biological mesh. Patients using the electrospun composite biomaterial mesh were allocated into experimental group, and patients using the small intestinal submucosa mesh were allocated into control group. Observation indicators: (1) grouping situations of the enrolled patients; (2) endpoint of the study. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the non-parameter rank sum test. Taking the recurrence rate of hernia at 6 years after surgery as the basis of efficacy evaluation, the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test was used for comparison between groups. The confidence interval method was used to conduct non-inferiority statistical analysis. If the lower limit of 95% confidence interval of the difference of recurrence rate of hernia between the experiment group and the control group was more than -10%, the experiment group was considered to be non-inferior to the control group. If the lower limit of 95% confidence interval is more than 0, the experiment group was considered to be superior to the control group. Results:(1) Grouping situations of the enrolled patients. A total of 172 adult patients with inguinal hernia were selected for eligibility. They were males, aged (61±2)years. All 172 patients were randomly divided into to the experimental group and the control group with 86 cases in each group. At 6 years after surgery, 20 patients in the experi-mental group and 19 patients in the control group was lost to follow-up. (2) Endpoint of the study. ① The primary endpoint of study. At 6 years after surgery, no patient had recurrence in the 66 patients of experimental group and 4 patients had recurrence in the 67 patients of control group. Results of non-inferiority statistical analysis showed that the 95% confidence interval of the difference of recurrence rate of hernia between the two groups was 0.27% to 14.41%, with the lower limit as 0.27%, which was more than -10% and simultaneously more than 0. ② The secondary endpoint of study. There was no significant difference in the simple verbal scale between the two groups after 6 months and 6 years at rest or cough status ( P>0.05). At a follow-up of 6 months after surgery, 2 cases of the experimental group and 5 patients of the control group had complications, showing no significant difference between the two groups( χ2=1.38, P>0.05). At a follow-up of 6 years after surgery, no complication occurred in either group. Conclusion:Composite biological mesh in inguinal repair is safe and feasible, which can have low long-term recurrence and achieve good long-term efficacy.

Objective:To predict and analyze the number of acute pancreatitis (AP) inpatients based on time series model, and to explore the predictive efficiency of the model.Methods:Clinical data of AP inpatients in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2014 to December 2019 were collected. R software was used to collect the time series of AP inpatients, and the trend and seasonal characteristics of AP inpatients from 2014 to 2018 were analyzed. Furthermore, the autoregressive moving average (ARIMA) model was established through stationarity test, model ordering and model testing steps, and the best selected model was used to predict the monthly number of inpatients in 2019 to verify its prediction efficiency.Results:A total of 3 939 AP patients were included in the study. The most common etiology for AP was cholestrogenic (48.2%), followed by hyperacylglyceremia (36.3%). The peak age of hospitalization was from 40 to 60 years old. Time series analysis showed that the number of AP inpatients increased year by year. The highest peak of the disease was from February to March, followed by September to November; and there was seasonal variation and the incidence was relatively small in summer. The established original training set sequence did not pass the stationarity test ( P=0.061), so the ARIMA model was established after it was transformed into a stationarity sequence by first-order difference. According to the criterion of minimum AIC value, ARIMA(2, 1, 1)(1, 1, 1) 12 was selected as the best model. The model was used to predict the number of AP inpatients in 2019, showing that it could better fit the trend of onset time and had good short-term prediction effect. The mean root error and absolute error were 6.8790 and 4.7783, respectively. Conclusions:The number of AP inpatients increases year by year with seasonal changes. ARIMA model is effective in predicting the number of AP inpatients and can be used for short-term prediction.
