Objective:To improve the understanding of acute pain after thoracoscopic surgery in patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, to analyze and screen out the independent risk factors that may induce acute postoperative pain. The patients' surgery experience may get improved through the corresponding timely and effective interventions.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 204 patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma who were treated by a single medical team of our center from May 2021 to October 2021, and analyzed the assessment results of acute postoperative pain. Patients were grouped according to the general condition, past medical history, social and spiritual attributes, lesion characteristics, surgical approaches and anesthetic methods. Comparison of proportions of acute postoperative pain between the groups were made, and independent risk factors were identified.Results:A total of 84 males and 120 females were enrolled, with a mean age of(57.9±11.5)years old and a median operation time of 120(110, 145) min. No serious complication or perioperative death occurred in the whole group. Postoperative pain control failed in 76 cases(37.3%), 24 cases(11.8%) suffered from severe postoperative pain, and 33 cases(16.2%) required additional intramuscular injection of strong analgesics after surgery. Those who were younger than 60 years old, with a university degree or above, received two-incision surgery, operated for more than 2 h, received general anesthesia only, or in a state of depression, had significantly higher rates of postoperative acute pain, compared with their respective control groups( P<0.05). The independent risk factors for acute pain after thoracoscopic surgery included age( P=0.002), history of alcoholism( P=0.014), number of incisions( P=0.016), operation time( P=0.010), depression status( P=0.037) and enhanced anesthetic method( P=0.012). Conclusion:A large amount of patients with early-stage lung cancer suffered from acute pain after thoracoscopic surgery, which seriously affected their treatment experience and even quality of life. Young patients with a history of alcoholism and depression status were high-risk groups for postoperative acute pain. Applying Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, reducing the operation time as much as possible, and choosing enhanced analgesic anesthesia represented by epidural block combined with general anesthesia might be effective ways to reduce the probability of acute postoperative pain.

Objective:To analyze the law of distant metastasis in patients with small lung adenocarcinoma with different CT findings, and to explore the feasibility of different preoperative examination methods for small lung adenocarcinoma with different imaging characteristics.Methods:Clinicopathological data of cT1a-cN0 lung adenocarcinoma patients admitted to the respiratory center of China-Japan Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively collected. A total number of 785 patients were included, including 289 males and 496 females. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total number of 785 patients were included in this study, including 287 pure ground-glass nodule (GGN) patients, 111 GGN predominant patients, 221 solid predominant patients and 166 solid nodule patients. Among the included patients, 8 had distant metastasis, including 6 with bone metastasis, 1 with brain metastasis and 1 with brain and adrenal metastasis. No distant metastasis was observed in the patients with pure GGN and GGN predominant nodule, while 1 solid predominant patients had distant metastasis, and 7 patients with solid nodules had distant metastasis. The probability of distant metastasis was 0.5% for the solid predominant patients and 4.2% for the solid nodule patients. Univariate analysis results showed that CEA level ( P=0.030), the largest diameter of the lung window tumor ( P=0.003), the largest diameter of the solid component of the lung window tumor ( P<0.001), the largest area of the lung window tumor ( P=0.002), mediastinal window tumor maximum area ( P<0.001), CTR ( P<0.001), TDR ( P<0.001), and pleural indentation sign ( P=0.037) were risk factors for distant metastases. Multivariate analysis showed that CEA ( OR=1.019, 95% CI: 1.002-1.037, P=0.028) and TDR ( OR=0.000, 95% CI: 0.000-0.310, P=0.001) were independent risk factors of distant metastasis. Conclusion:For patients with pure GGN and GGN predominant nodule, preoperative examination could not be required, but for pure solid nodules, it is necessary to perform relevant preoperative examination including skull MRI before surgery to exclude distant metastasis.

Objective:To assess the merits and demerits of placing small-sized tube as drainage compared with traditional drainage in patients after uniportal thoracoscopic lung wedge-resection.Methods:Patients who received uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) lung wedge-resection were identified in our database. Patients placed small-sized tube drainage were compared with those placed traditional 28 Fr chest tube in terms of characteristics, perioperative outcomes. Propensity score matching was performed to balance the baseline of the patients.Results:Of the 178 enrolled patients, 121 were assigned to conventional tube group and 57 were assigned to small-sized tube group. After matching, 36 pairs of patients from the two groups were selected for statistical comparison. Compared with the traditional drainage group, the operation duration of the small-sized tube group was shorter[0.83(0.75, 1.04)h vs.1.08(0.96, 1.41)h, P=0.003], intraoperative blood loss was less [5(5, 10) ml vs. 10(7.5, 10) ml, P=0.001), postoperative total drainage volume was less[67.5(30, 190)ml vs.175(120, 365)ml, P<0.001], and postoperative pain score was lower[0.3(0.3, 0.7) vs.0.7(0.3, 2.2), P<0.05]. No significant difference was observed in the incidence of small amount of pneumothorax or small amount of pleural effusion before extubation between the two groups. The incidence of postoperative complications was relatively low and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion:Compared to conventional chest tube, small-sized tube for postoperative drainage after U-VATS lung wedge-resection, may be a feasible and promising approach to reduce postoperative pain and promote recovery.

The cross regional loose medical alliance is an important carrier in the current integrated development process of medical services in the Yangtze River Delta region. Smith policy implementation process model was used to analyze the development difficulties of cross regional loose medical alliances from idealized policies, policy implementation institutions, policy target groups, and policy implementation environment. Such medical alliances were formed under the background of integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta, with Shanghai′s tertiary public hospitals as leading units and medical institutions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces as member units. Analysis showed that the policies for such medical alliances development had not yet clearly defined the organizational management mode, operational mechanism, and implementation path, and the corporate governance structure of medical alliance was immature; The policy implementation agencies were relatively lagging behind in the support of special funds and the formulation of related supporting policies; Participation of policy target groups was insufficient and their incentive mechanisms was imperfect; There were problems in the policy implementation environment, namely inconsistent medical and health service regulations and systems in different regions, different health financing capabilities of local governments, insufficient coordination of medical institution management concepts, and a lack of unified standards in information systems. Based on the above difficulties, this study proposed to strengthen the development planning and layout of cross regional loose medical alliances, and improve the corporate governance structure; To strengthen the government′s main responsibility and improving policy implementation capabilities; To improve the internal cooperation and operation mechanism of cross regional loose medical alliances, and enhance the sense of identity of the target group; To optimize the policy implementation environment and implement various support measures, so as to provide references for further promoting the coordinated development of high-quality medical resources in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Objective:To explore the influence of pulmonary nodule size, nodule location, fissure, surgical approach, surgical entrance, postoperative pathology, surgical method and other factors on the relevant information of basal segmentectomy under thoracoscopy.Methods:Retrospectively analyze 103 patients who underwent thoracoscopic basal segmentectomy of the lung from January 2023 to February 2024. According to the classification of nodule size, nodule position, development of pulmonary fissure, surgical approach, number of surgical entrance, postoperative pathology, surgical method, tc., the influence of single factor Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influence of various factors on the relevant information of pulmonary basal segmentectomy under thoracoscopy. Results:When the dependent variable was the surgery duration, single factor analysis showed that CT location( P=0.024), nodule composition( P=0.029), surgical entry( P=0.002), surgical method( P<0.001), and surgical approach( P=0.052) significantly influenced the surgery duration. Variables with P<0.1 in the single factor analysis were included in the multivariate analysis, which showed that surgical entry and surgical method significantly influenced surgery duration( P<0.05). When the dependent variable was the total hospitalization cost, single factor analysis showed that CT location, surgical approach, and surgical method significantly influenced the total hospitalization cost( P<0.1). Multiple factor analysis showed that the surgical method affected the total hospitalization cost, with significantly higher costs when S9 or S10 lung segments were resected( P=0.050). When the dependent variable was postoperative drainage duration, single factor analysis showed that the condition of the lung fissures significantly influenced postoperative drainage duration( P=0.028). Multiple factor regression analysis showed that incomplete lung fissure development significantly increased the possibility of postoperative air leaks( P=0.034). Conclusion:The surgical access may significantly affect the operation time, which is the use of uniport thoracoscopy is shorter than the multi-port operation time, the surgical method does not contain S9/S10 is shorter than that of S9/S10, and the total cost of hospitalization is lower. The completeness of the fissure will significantly decrease the possibility of postoperative pulmonary leakage.

Objective:To explore whether lung microorganisms influence the occurrence and development of early lung adenocarcinoma by analyzing the presence and changes of local microorganisms in early lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:Tumor tissues and alveolar lavage fluid were collected from 32 patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital. Nextseq550DX was used for DNA sequencing. R language was used to calculate the number of microorganisms in the tumor tissue and alveolar lavage fluid samples of different stages and grades. species and diversity, and use statistical methods such as TSEA and LEfSe analysis to compare the diversity and differences of microorganisms in different groups. Results:Both Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria accounted for a higher proportion in both the tumor tissue and alveolar lavage fluid samples of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The number of microorganisms detected in the tumor tissue was greater than that in the lavage fluid, and the alpha diversity was higher, but the difference Not significant( P<0. 05). According to the analysis of differences in lung microorganisms in patients with different pathological grades: In the two samples, invasive adenocarcinoma has more microorganisms than carcinoma in situ + microinvasive carcinoma, and the alpha diversity of the lavage fluid is significantly higher, and the comparison between the groups is statistically significant( P=0. 011); the difference in β diversity was not statistically significant( P>0. 05). Group analysis based on different pathological types: the invasive adenocarcinoma group samples showed a decrease in Proteobacteria, the carcinoma in situ + minimally invasive cancer group was mainly composed of Proteobacteria, and most of the microorganisms related to lung cancer differences analyzed in each group belonged to Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. Phylum. Conclusion:Most of the microbes in tumor tissues and lavage fluid of lung adenocarcinoma belong to the Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria. Most of the differentially associated microbes of lung cancer under different classifications also belong to Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria, which are the main characteristics of lung microbial composition in patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To establish and assess the new method of APTT assay based on the combinations of Mg2+and Ca2+for lupus anticoagulants(LA)measurements.Methods This prospective study included 309 trisodium citrate anticoagulated plasma samples from 244 random patients and 65 patients with different autoimmune diseases(AID)to establish and assess the method of LA measurement, respectively.Final concentrations of 0,2.0, 4.0, 8.0,16.0 mmol/L Mg2+were added into 25 mmol/L Ca2+solution, and Actin reagent was used to measured plasma APTT of 94 patients.The applied concentration of Mg2+-Ca2+solution was confirmed through the special and significant alteration of APTT from LA-positive and -negative plasma observed in the presence of Mg 2+(test solution).Based on Actin reagent use,the test solution and 25 mmol/L Ca2+solution were applied to measure APTT of patients and normal individuals, respectively, and the ratio of Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT to Ca2+-APTT(Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT indices)and normalized Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT indices(NAR)were calculated, respectively.Mixed plasma NAR was measured,and CV%was calculated to evaluate the repeatability and stability of Mg 2+-Ca2+-APTT method.APTT of 150 patients was measured with the test solution and Actin reagent to calculate Mg 2+-Ca2+-APTT indices, and normalized LA ratio was determined with dRVVT method.The applicability of Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT assay was assessed through comparisons of the results from the two methods.Finally, NAR and NLR of 65 patients with AID(including 26 SLE patients)were measured with Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT assay and dRVVT method, respectively, and ROC curve was also used to assess the efficacy of the two methods for LA measurements.Results In all LA-negative plasma,APTT increased from 28.1 ±4.5 s to 61.2 ±7.9 s in normal APTT group,47.2 ±8.9 s to 97.5 ±10.3 s in increased APTT group,and 27.6 ± 5.1 s to 61.2 ±7.9 s in ACA-positive group when Mg2+increased from 0 to 8 mmol/L in Mg2+-Ca2+solution(F=34.12, 38.9 and 28.35,P<0.01).Following increased Mg2+concentration, APTT shortened from 0 to 4.0 mmol/L, but simultaneously prolonged from 4.0 to 16.0 mmol/L in LA-positive plasma with prolonged or normal APTT(F=31.55 and 39.51, P<0.01), and APTT was significantly higher in 8.0 mmol/L than that in 4.0 mmol/L(P<0.001).The test concentration of Mg 2+/Ca2+solution was 4.0 mmol/L.The within, inter-day CV% of NAR was 1.39%,2.30%, and 3.44%, respectively. According to the judging criteria of <0.966 and >1.034 of Mg2+/Ca2+indices, there was 141 patients with increased indices and NLR <1.20, and 9 patients with decreased ones and NLR≥1.20 in all 150 patients.The area under ROC curve of NAR and NLR for LA detection was 0.913(95%CI:0.848-0.978) and 0.892(95%CI:0.817-0.966), respectively, and the cut-off value was 0.87 and 1.13, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of NAR(85% and 77%)was higher than that of NLR(81% and 74%), respectively.The accordant rate of positive,negative,and total results between NAR and NLR was 94.4%, 98.5%,and 98%,respectively.Conclusion The method of APTT assay based on Mg2+combining Ca2+for LA measurements is feasible,and can be used to detect plasma LA of patients.

Objective To explore the guiding significance of preoperative 3D reconstruction for pulmonary nodule location and thoracoscopic surgical method selection in lung cancer patients. Methods The clinical data of the patients with preoperative 3D reconstruction in our China-Japan Friendship Hospital between January and November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative surgical planning was performed using 3D reconstruction. Different surgical procedure, including wedge resection, segmentectomy, lobectomy, or combined surgical procedure were performed based on tumor location, size and distance from the pleura. Results A total of 115 patients were included with 45 males and 70 females, at an average age of 25-84 (58.29±11.36) years and successfully completed the operation. Fifty-five (47.8%) patients' nodule diameter was tangent cross-section, among whom twenty-five (21.7%) patients of nodules crossed sections. There were 21 patients of wedge resection in the outer 1/3 nodules of CT, which had shorter operation time and less cost (P<0.001) and less intraoperative bleeding (P=0.019). For the crossing sections or edge crossing sections nodules of the middle and inner of CT, 6 patients were of simple pulmonary segmentectomy, 8 patients of combined with sub-segmentectomy, 7 patients of combined segmentectomy, 5 patients of lobectomy, and 3 patients of wedge resection. Conclusion The proportion of cross-segment pulmonary nodules is relatively high. For the outer 1/3 nodules of CT, compared with pulmonary segmental resection combined with adjacent lung tissue resection, wedge resection can also ensure sufficient surgical margin, and the middle and inner 1/3 nodules of CT need to be combined with adjacent pulmonary tissue resection to ensure the surgical edge.
