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.

BACKGROUND: Treatment with chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cells has shown promising effectiveness in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL), although the process of preparing for this therapy usually takes a long time. We have recently created CD19 Fast-CAR-T (F-CAR-T) cells, which can be produced within a single day. The objective of this study was to evaluate and contrast the effectiveness and safety of CD19 F-CAR-T cells with those of CD19 conventional CAR-T cells in the management of R/R B-ALL. METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 44 patients with R/R B-ALL was conducted. Overall, 23 patients were administered with innovative CD19 F-CAR-T cells (F-CAR-T group), whereas 21 patients were given CD19 conventional CAR-T cells (C-CAR-T group). We compared the rates of complete remission (CR), minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative CR, leukemia-free survival (LFS), overall survival (OS), and the incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) between the two groups. RESULTS: Compared with the C-CAR-T group, the F-CAR-T group had significantly higher CR and MRD-negative rates (95.7% and 91.3%, respectively; 71.4% and 66.7%, respectively; P = 0.036 and P = 0.044). No significant differences were observed in the 1-year or 2-year LFS or OS rates between the two groups: the 1-year and 2-year LFS for the F-CAR-T group vs.C-CAR-T group were 47.8% and 43.5% vs. 38.1% and 23.8% (P = 0.384 and P = 0.216), while the 1-year and 2-year OS rates were 65.2% and 56.5% vs. 52.4% and 47.6% (P = 0.395 and P = 0.540). Additionally, among CR patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) following CAR-T-cell therapy, there were no significant differences in the 1-year or 2-year LFS or OS rates: 57.1% and 50.0% vs. 47.8% and 34.8% (P = 0.506 and P = 0.356), 64.3% and 57.1% vs. 65.2% and 56.5% (P = 0.985 and P = 0.883), respectively. The incidence of CRS was greater in the F-CAR-T group (91.3%) than in the C-CAR-T group (66.7%) (P = 0.044). The incidence of ICANS was also greater in the F-CAR-T group (30.4%) than in the C-CAR-T group (9.5%) (P = 0.085), but no treatment-related deaths occurred in the two groups. CONCLUSION Compared with C-CAR-T-cell therapy, F-CAR-T-cell therapy has a superior remission rate but also leads to a tolerably increased incidence of CRS/ICANS. Further research is needed to explore the function of allo-HSCT as an intermediary therapy after CAR-T-cell therapy.

Objective To explore the acceptability of routine biochemical test results for serum samples with varying degrees of chylous high triglyceride(TG).Methods Blood samples of 69 patients with different degrees of lipids were collected,including 33 patients with mild to moderate lipids(1.7 mmol/L≤TG<5.6 mmol/L)and 36 patients with severe lipids(TG≥5.6 mmol/L).Twenty-nine biochemical tests were detected before and after high-speed centrifugation.The result acceptability before high speed centrifugation of serum was compared with the results after high speed centrifugation as the gold standard[TG and total cholesterol(TC)before centrifugation].The acceptable criteria were subject to the following three conditions at the same time.Firstly,correlation coefficient(R2)was greater than or equal to 0.95.Secondly,the slope of linear re-gression equation was 1.00±0.05.Thirdly,for the same index,the number of samples whose result bias be-fore and after centrifugation was less than 1/2 total allowable error(TEa)in more than 90%of the total sam-ple numbers.Results Firstly,in the mild to moderate lipemia group,22 tests met the criteria,7 tests did not,including total protein(TP),albumin(ALB),TG,aspartate aminotransferase(AST),carbon dioxide(CO2),α-L-fucosidase(AFU),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)(bias<10%),and the coincidence rate was 75.9%.In the severe lipemia group,12 tests met the criteria,17 tests did not,including pre-albumin(PA),AFU,γ-glu-tamyltransferase(γ-GT),LDH,AST,TC,direct bilirubin(DBIL),CO2,5'-nucleotidase(5'-NT),small and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(sd-LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),adenosine deaminase(ADA),cystatin C(CysC),glycosylated albumin(GA),total bilirubin(TBIL)(bias>10%),the coincidence rate was 41.4%,and there was a statistically sig-nificant difference in the coincidence rate between the two groups(P<0.05).Secondly,there was no statisti-cally significant difference in the acceptability of results between continuous monitoring method and endpoint method detection methods(P>0.05).Conclusion Most test results of direct determination with mild or moderate lipemia samples are acceptable,and the bias of unacceptable tests is small(<10%),so it is recom-mended to issue a test report without further sample treatment.However,due to the large number of unacceptable tests and larger bias(>10%),severe lipemia samples should be determined after high-speed centrifugation.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of low-dose esketamine for postoperative analgesia on the postoperative depression in patients with gastrointestinal tumors.Methods:This study was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Eighty patients, aged 18-64 yr, with a body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective radical resection of the gastrointestinal tumor under general anesthesia from June to November 2023 in our hospital, were divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) using a random number table method: esketamine group (group E) and control group (group C). Each patient received postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA). The PCIA solution in group E contained esketamine 0.5 mg/kg, dezocine 0.5 mg/kg, dexmetomidine 1.5 μg/kg and flurbiprofen ester 100 mg in 100 ml of normal saline. The PCIA solution in group C contained dezocine 0.5 mg/kg, dexmetomidine 1.5 μg/kg and flurbiprofen ester 100 mg in 100 ml of normal saline. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess the patients′ anxiety and depression at 1 day before operation (T 0) and 2 days after operation (T 1). The Quality of Recovery-15 scale was used to evaluate the early postoperative recovery quality. Visual analog scale scores, the pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and the number of rescue analgesia were recorded within 2 days after operation. The occurrence of drug-related adverse reactions was also recorded. Results:Seventy-eight patients were finally included, with 39 cases in group E and 39 cases in group C. Compared with group C, the postoperative HADS-depression scale score and incidence of depression were significantly decreased, the Quality of Recovery-15 scale score was increased, the visual analog scale scores were decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant changes were found in the postoperative HADS-anxiety scale score and incidence of anxiety, the pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and the number of rescue analgesia in group E ( P>0.05). Visual hallucination was found at 1 day after operation in one patient and relieved at 2 days after operation in group E. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative dizziness, nausea and vomiting between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Postoperative analgesia with 0.5 mg/kg esketamine can alleviate postoperative depressive symptoms, enhance the efficacy of analgesia and improve the early postoperative recovery quality in patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hearing loss and microvascular complications in diabetes.Methods:This cross-sectional study conducted the data from 572 patients with diabetes hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of the General Hospital of Southern Theater Command from September 2022 to July 2023. All participants underwent electrical audiometry and acoustic immittance in the ENY department. Based on the audiometric results, participants were categorized into normal hearing group and hearing loss group. Additionally, 572 non-diabetic patients from the outpatient department were enrolled as the non-diabetic group. The general information and laboratory results were collected and compared using t test, rank sum test or χ2 test. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of diabetic hearing loss with diabetic kidney disease(DKD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Results:Among 572 patients with diabetes, 429 suffered from hearing loss and 143 were normal. χ2 test showed significant differences in combined DKD and DPN between two groups, but not in DR. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis identified DKD and DPN as risk factors for hearing loss, but no correlation was found with DR. Conclusion:Diabetic patients with DKD or DPN should be monitored for potential hearing loss. Early screening and treatment are crucial to prevent severe hearing impairment.

Objective:To assess the value eosin-nigrosine(E-N)staining and hypo-osmotic swelling test(HOST)in the diag-nosis of necrospermia and investigate the correlation of the degree of sperm necrosis with sperm DNA fragmentation index(DFI)and high DNA stainability(HDS).Methods:Using computer-assisted sperm analysis(CASA),we examined the sperm motility of 7 333 males seeking medical care in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hunan Province from May 2023 to July 2024,detected the sperm viability of those with asthenozoospermia by E-N staining and HOST,and measured the sperm DFI and HDS of those with necro-spermia by sperm chromatin structure assay(SCSA).Based on sperm progressive motility(PR％),we divided the asthenozoospermia patients into three groups(PR％20％-＜30％,PR％10％-＜20％and PR％＜10％),assessed the value of E-N staining and HOST in the diagnosis of necrospermia,and analyzed the correlation of the severity of sperm necrosis with sperm DFI and HDS.Results:Asthenozoospermia was diagnosed in 1 374(18.74％)of the 7 333 males.The incidence rates of necrospermia revealed by E-N staining in the mild,moderate and severe asthenozoospermia groups were 0.55％(5/913),3.80％(12/316)and 35.86％(52/145),respectively,with a total incidence of 0.94％(69/7333),while those detected by HOST were 0.99％(9/913),6.96％(22/316)and 46.21％(67/145),respectively,with a total incidence of 1.34％(98/7333).There were no statistically significant differences in the results of diagnosis between the two methods(x2=0.97,P＞0.05).Both E-N staining and HOST showed that sperm DFI in the necrospermia males was negatively correlated with sperm viability(r=-0.366,r=-0.333,P＜0.05),and so was sperm HDS,though with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion:For males with PR％＜30％,sperm viability test should be conducted,with E-N staining as the choice of priority for the diagnosis of necrospermia.Sperm necrosis and sperm nuclear chromatin damage may be interactive risk factors.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of oral-nasal oxygen supply mouth guard in painless gastroscopy for snoring patients.Methods:The snoring patients who underwent painless gastroscopy at two Endoscopy Centers of Shanghai East Hospital, Tongji University in July 2022 were randomly divided into the observation group (using oral-nasal oxygen supply mouth guard) and the control group (using ordinary nasal oxygen tube and mouth guard). Parameters such as the wearing time and the removal time of the mouth guard, lowest pulse oxygen saturation (SpO 2), incidence of hypoxemia, and the satisfaction of medical staff were compared between the two groups. Results:The wearing time of mouth guard was 11.63±0.84 seconds and the removal time was 5.33±0.76 seconds in the observation group ( n=40), which were lower than those in the control group ( n=47) (14.91±1.21 seconds, t=-14.463, P<0.001; 10.38±0.80 seconds, t=-30.095, P<0.001). The wearing satisfaction score was 9.80±0.61, the lowest SpO 2 was (96.70±3.42)%, the removal satisfaction score was 9.75±0.67, and the anesthesiologists' satisfaction score was 9.20±1.42 in the observation group, which were higher than those in the control group [7.70±0.93, t=12.209, P<0.001; (94.06±3.72)%, t=3.417, P=0.001; 7.96±0.98, t=9.803, P<0.001; 8.13±1.35, t=3.615, P=0.001] with significant difference. There was no significant difference in the incidence of hypoxemia [10.00% (4/40) VS 14.89% (7/47), χ2=0.130, P=0.718] and endoscopic physician satisfaction score (9.30±0.97 VS 9.02±1.31, t=1.112, P=0.269) between the two groups. Conclusion:The oral-nasal oxygen supply mouth guard is easy to wear and remove, effectively reducing SpO 2 fluctuations during painless gastroscopy for snoring patients. It can enhance medical staff satisfaction with high clinical value.

AIM:This study explores how the combination of rapamycin(Rapa)and flagellin(FliC)affects the inhibition of 4T1 breast cancer cells.The approach involves using mRNA high-throughput sequencing to examine the underlying mechanisms of this combination therapy in vitro.METHODS:4T1 breast cancer cells were divided into four groups:control group,Rapa group,FliC group,and Rapa+FliC group.The changes in cell viability and apoptosis were detected by the CCK-8 method and flow cytometry.Concurrently,the KEGG pathway of differentially expressed genes(DEGs)was analyzed by high-throughput mRNA sequencing.Furthermore,the DEGs between the Rapa+FliC group and Rapa groups were analyzed using STRING.The PPI network of DEGs was then constructed,and the Hub genes were sub-sequently screened.The protein expression of the Hub gene was verified based on the HPA database.RESULTS:CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry analysis revealed that the combination of Rapa and FliC significantly increased both the inhibi-tion and apoptosis rates in 4T1 breast cancer cells compared to the rates observed with Rapa or FliC alone(P<0.05).Transcriptome sequencing indicated 579 DEGs between the Rapa group and the control group,predominantly in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.In contrast,DEGs between the FliC group and control were mainly concentrated in signaling path-ways like NOD-like receptor signaling.Additionally,150 DEGs were identified between the Rapa+FliC group and the Ra-pa group,focusing primarily on pathways such as mTOR.From the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network,ten hub genes,including Atm and Itga2,were identified.CONCLUSION:The combination of Rapa+FliC could inhibit the via-bility of 4T1 breast cancer cells in vitro and promote apoptosis,potentially through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling path-way.The genes Atm and Itga2 could be pivotal in mediating the joint effect of this combination therapy.
