With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient's lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.

Objective: To investigate the knowledge of hepatitis C prevention and treatment and related factors among two groups of female sex workers (FSW) and men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Xizang Autonomous Region (Xizang) to provide a basis for the subsequent development of Hepatitis C publicity and education strategies. Methods: From August to September 2021, a special survey was conducted among 1 244 FSW and 234 MSM in 5 districts (counties) of 4 regions in Xizang. A one-on-one face-to-face questionnaire survey was adopted, and the χ² test and logistic regression were used to analyze the related factors of awareness of hepatitis C prevention and treatment among FSW and MSM. Results: The awareness rates of hepatitis C prevention and treatment knowledge among FSW and MSM were 35.0% (436/1 244) and 11.1% (26/234), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the positive related factors of FSW' awareness of hepatitis C prevention and treatment knowledge among those who had high school or technical secondary school education (aOR=4.72, 95%CI: 3.30-6.74) and college education or above (aOR=2.24, 95%CI: 1.58-3.18), those who experienced self-perceived risk of HCV infection (aOR=1.87, 95%CI: 1.43-2.45), negative related factors included married or cohabiting (aOR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.35-0.95), divorce or windowless (aOR=0.44, 95%CI: 0.27-0.72), no condom was used in the most recent commercial sexual activity (aOR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.43-0.69). The positive related factors of MSM's awareness of hepatitis C prevention and treatment knowledge were over 40 years old (aOR=8.65, 95%CI: 3.19-23.42) and having a self-perceived risk of HCV infection (aOR=6.25, 95%CI: 2.50-15.61). Conclusions: The awareness rate of hepatitis C prevention and treatment among FSW and MSM was relatively low in Xizang in 2021 and urgently needs to be improved. It is necessary to formulate targeted publicity strategies based on the characteristics of these two groups of people, increase publicity efforts, and expand the coverage of knowledge publicity to popularize key points about the clinical manifestations, treatment options, and transmission routes of hepatitis C, and carry out necessary warnings and education.

Objective:To explore the value of spectral CT parameters combined with dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging（DCE-MRI） parameters in the short-term efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods: A total of 110 cases with nasopharyngeal carcinoma Ⅲ-Ⅳ staging who received synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy at our Hospital from October 2022 to October 2024 were regarded as the study subjects. Complying with the evaluation results after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, they were divided into a complete remission（CR） group of 53 cases and a non CR group of 57 cases. All patients underwent DCE-MRI and energy dispersive CT scans to obtain parameters, such as iodine concentration（IC）, volume transfer constant（Ktrans）, slope of spectral HU curve（λHU）, rate constant（Kep）, and normalized iodine concentration（NIC）. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen for influencing factors. ROC curve was used to analyze the evaluation value of various parameters. In addition, Z-test was used to compare area under the curve（AUC）. Results:The proportion of retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis and λHUvalue in the non CR group were higher than those in the CR group, while Ktrans, Kep, IC value, and NIC value were lower than those in the CR group（P<0.05）. Retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis, Ktrans, Kep, IC value, λHUvalue, and NIC value were all influencing factors（P<0.05）. The AUC of individual prediction of Ktrans, Kep, IC value, λHUvalue, and NIC value was 0.817, 0.800, 0.785, 0.783, and 0.835, respectively. The AUC of the combination of DCE-MRI parameters, the combination of spectral CT parameters, and the combination of the five parameters were 0.874, 0.900, and 0.980, respectively, the AUC of the combination of the five parameters was significantly higher than the AUC of each indicator alone, the AUC of the combination of DCE-MRI parameters, and the AUC of the combination of spectral CT parameters（P<0.05）. Conclusion:The DCE-MRI, and spectral CT parameters （Ktrans, Kep, IC value, λHUvalue, and NIC value）can be used to evaluate concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy short-term efficacy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. And the combination of various parameters can greatly improve the predictive value of efficacy, which has important clinical application value.

[摘 要] 目的：探究聚丝蛋白（FLG）在黑色素瘤组织中的表达及其与患者临床病理特征、预后的关系。方法：选取2019年6月至2020年8月间山东第一医科大学附属人民医院收治的70例黑色素瘤患者为研究对象，取术中切除的瘤组织及瘤旁组织标本，用免疫组织化学法检测FLG蛋白表达，根据FLG的表达将患者分为阳性组和阴性组，比较瘤组织、瘤旁组织及不同病理特征下黑色素瘤组织中FLG的阳性表达率。随访患者3年，根据患者预后情况将患者分为生存组（n = 43）和死亡组（n = 27），比较两组患者的FLG阳性表达率，采用Kaplan-Meier法绘制生存曲线，比较两组患者生存时间。结果：黑色素瘤组织中FLG表达阳性率显著低于瘤旁组织（P < 0.05）；FLG阳性组肿瘤直径 > 1 cm、Breslow厚度 > 2 mm、局部溃疡、TNM分级Ⅲ～Ⅳ级、淋巴结转移、肿瘤侵袭占比显著低于阴性组（P < 0.05或P < 0.01）；70例患者中死亡27例，生存43例，生存率61.42%，死亡组患者FLG表达阳性率显著低于生存组（P < 0.05），FLG表达阳性患者生存时间显著长于阴性患者（P = 0.010）；多因素Cox回归分析显示，Breslow厚度 > 2 mm、TNM分级Ⅲ～Ⅳ级、淋巴结转移、肿瘤侵袭是影响黑色素瘤患者预后的危险因素（P < 0.01或P < 0.001），FLG表达阳性为保护因素（P < 0.01或P < 0.001）。结论：黑色素瘤组织中FLG显著降低，且与肿瘤Breslow厚度、分期侵袭和淋巴结转移等病理特征及预后有关。

Objective To investigate the clinical features of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG-associated disorders （MOGAD）. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of nine patients with MOGAD who were admitted to our department. Results Among the nine patients with MOGAD， there were five male patients and four female patients， with a median age of onset of 29.0 years. The main clinical symptoms included optic neuritis in five patients， cerebral symptoms （including mental symptoms）in five patients，seizures in four patients， brainstem symptoms in three patients， pyramidal signs in three patients， cerebellar symptoms in three patients， rectal and bladder dysfunction in three patients， myelitis in two patients， paresthesia in two patients， and comorbidity with autoimmune encephalitis in one patient. All patients tested positive for serum MOG-IgG， and two patients tested positive for MOG-IgG in cerebrospinal fluid. MRI showed that cerebral lesions mainly involved the midline structure and deep gray matter，and there were four patients（44.4%） with lesions in the midbrain， the pons， and the medulla oblongata and four patients （44.4%）with lesions in the fourth ventricle； spinal lesions often involved long segments （≥3 segments）， and there were two patients with lesions in cervical spinal cord and one patient with lesions in the thoracic spinal cord. All nine patients received immunotherapy in the acute stage， with a mean Expanded Disability Status Scale score of （3.94±2.28） for neurological function assessment. Three patients experienced recurrence during the median follow-up time of 36.0 months，among whom two patients had myelitis. Conclusion There was no significant sex difference in the prevalence rate of MOGAD，and the age of onset of MOGAD is earlier than that of multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.Optic neuritis is the most important clinical phenotype of MOGAD， and MOGAD patients with myelitis phenotype all have longitudinal long-segment lesions of the spinal cord. The different clinical phenotypes of MOGAD may be associated with recurrence rate.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) in adolescents, providing evidence for early prevention and control strategies for cardiovascular structural abnormalities in adolescents. Methods: Data were obtained from the third follow up survey (from October to November 2023) of the "Huantai Children Cardiovascular Health Cohort", including 1 153 healthy adolescents with complete information. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare cIMT across different ALT level groups, and multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the relationship between serum ALT levels and cIMT. Results: Significant differences in cIMT were observed among Q 1, Q 2, and Q 3 ALT level groups [(0.56±0.04) (0.57±0.04) (0.59±0.04)mm, respectively; F=3.61, P <0.01]. After adjusting for covariates, multiple linear regression revealed a positive correlation between ALT levels and cIMT ( β=0.18, P <0.01). Gender subgroup analysis showed similar results in males ( β=0.19, P <0.01), but no statistically significant association was found in females ( β=0.07, P = 0.54). Conclusions Elevated serum ALT levels are associated with an increased risk of vascular structural damage in adolescents, especially in boys. Early detection and control of abnormal serum ALT levels can help to reduce early vascular structural damage and further reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events.

Objective To investigatethe relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and clinicopathological characteristics, p53 expression, and survival of Chinese patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 3882 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, 970 matched patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and 970 matched patients with gastric cardia adenocarcinoma were included to compare the incidence of GERD symptoms. Patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma were divided into two groups according to the presence and absence of GERD symptoms. The differences in clinicopathological characteristics and p53 expression between the two groups were compared by chi-square test, and the differences in survival between the two groups were compared by landmark analysis. Results The incidence of GERD symptoms increased successively in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma. In patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, the proportions of male, less than 65 years old, lower thoracic tumors, tumors without squamous cell carcinoma, poorly differentiation, early tumors (stage 0-I), and p53-positive tumors in the group with GERD symptoms were higher than those in the group without GERD symptoms; moreover, the long-term survival (≥15 years) was better. Conclusion GERD symptom is an important clinical sign of esophageal adenocarcinoma. It is closely related to specific clinicopathological characteristics, p53 overexpression, and good long-term prognosis.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing international normalized ratio (INR)>3.0 in patients undergoing warfarin anticoagulation therapy after mechanical heart valve replacement. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients who underwent mechanical heart valve replacement surgery and received warfarin anticoagulation therapy at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2022. Based on the discharge INR values, patients were divided into two groups: an INR≤3.0 group and an INR>3.0 group. The factors associated with INR>3.0 at the time of discharge were analyzed. Results A total of 8901 patients were enrolled, including 3409 males and 5492 females, with a median age of 49.3 (43.5, 55.6) years. The gender, body mass index (BMI), New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function grading, INR, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and preoperative prothrombin time (PT) were statistically different between the two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that lower BMI, preoperative PT>15 s, and mitral valve replacement were independent risk factors for INR>3.0 at discharge (P<0.05). Conclusion BMI, preoperative PT, and surgical site are factors influencing INR>3.0 at discharge in patients undergoing warfarin anticoagulation therapy after mechanical heart valve replacement. Special attention should be given to patients with lower BMI, longer preoperative PT, and mitral valve replacement to avoid excessive anticoagulation therapy.

Misophonia is a psychophysiological and behavioral disorder characterized by an individual's low tolerance to specific sounds， leading to intense negative emotional experiences and physiological responses. Currently， there is no standardized and universally effective treatment for misophonia in clinical practice worldwide. This article reports the case of an 18-year-old male patient with misophonia who showed poor response to sertraline combined with exposure and response prevention therapy. Subsequently， the patient received 8 weeks of Morita therapy （once a week， 50 minutes per session）， with symptomatic improvement. By presenting this case， we explore the potential efficacy of Morita therapy in treating misophonia， aiming to provide a reference for its clinical management. ［Funded by Scientific Research Development Fund Project of Shandong Second Medical University （number， 2024FYM034）］
