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 patient39;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 treatment strategies for chronic periapical periodontitis in prematurely erupted premolars and provide guidance for managing pulp and periapical diseases in young permanent teeth with immature roots.
Methods:
A regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) was performed on a prematurely erupted maxillary left first premolar (tooth 24) at Nolla stage Ⅶ with chronic apical periodontitis, following standardized protocols including root canal irrigation, disinfection, and coronal sealing. The case was followed up, and a literature review was conducted.
Results:
Clinical resolution of symptoms was observed on tooth 24, with sustained root development. After a 20-month follow-up, the tooth had restored biological function. Literature synthesis revealed that periapical infections in prematurely erupted permanent teeth predominently arise from pulp exposure and bacterial infection, with retrograde infection being rare. For young permanent teeth with necrotic pulp, regenerative endodontic procedures has been established as the treatment of choice to promote apical closure and root maturation. The critical steps of regenerative endodontic procedures include thorough disinfection, induced bleeding to form a fibrin scaffold, and coronal sealing to facilitate stem cell recruitment and differentiation.
Conclusion
Regenerative endodontic procedures represents an effective and viable treatment option for prematurely erupted young permanent teeth with chronic periapical periodontitis.

Objective To investigate the current status and serologic characteristics of occult HBV infection in the adult physical examination population in Zigong region. Methods A total of 126 381 patients who were examined in the physical examination center and gastroenterology department of The First People's Hospital of Zigong City from April 2023 to September 2024 were screened, and 21 615 eligible cases were included in the study. The current status of infection was analyzed and serological patterns and serological characteristics of the included individuals were compared. Results This study screened 126 381 patients, all of whom underwent serum HBsAg testing, and 21 615 patients (17.10%) underwent HBV DNA testing, of which 7 992 were HBV DNA positive (>102 IU/mL) and HBsAg negative, accounting for 36.97% of the total number of patients who underwent HBV DNA testing. Anti-HBc positivity was significantly higher than other serologic patterns, and the lowest rate of HBV DNA positivity was found in those who were positive for anti-HBc, anti-HBs and anti-HBe. The lowest male-to-female ratio (1.25:1) was found in patients with both anti-HBc, anti-HBs and anti-HBe positivity, which was significantly lower than that of patients with the other three serologic characteristics (P=0.005). There were no significant differences in age, BMI, AST, ALT, and TBiL levels among patients with different serum characteristics (all P>0.05). The HBV viral load is highest in patients with anti HBc combined with anti HBe positivity, while the HBV viral load is lowest in patients with anti HBc positivity, anti HBs positivity, and all anti HBe positivity (P<0.001). Viral genotypes were predominantly B-type, and there were differences in genotype distribution among the four groups of patients (P<0.001). Conclusion The level of occult HBV infection was high in the adult medical examination population in Zigong region, mostly characterized by anti-HBc positivity, with the lowest male-to-female ratio among patients who were positive for anti-HBc, anti-HBs, and anti-HBe, and the highest HBV viral load among patients who were positive for anti-HBc combined with anti-HBe.

Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is mitral regurgitation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), whose left atrium (LA) is enlarged, the left ventricle is not enlarged or only slightly enlarged, the left ventricular ejection fraction is preserved, and the mitral valve itself has no apparent lesion. At present, the etiology, pathophysiology and mechanism of this disease have not been completely clear yet. Existing studies have found that the causes of AFMR mainly include AF, enlargement of LA and mitral annulus, destruction of mitral annular shape, inability of mitral valve remodeling to compensate for mitral annular expansion, and hamstringing of the posterior mitral leaflet by atriogenic tethering. AFMR is demonstrated to be associated with an increased risk of mortality and readmission due to heart failure. Therefore, it serves as a primary therapeutic target for patients with heart failure and AF. However, the optimal treatment of AFMR still remains controversial. Therefore, this article will mainly expound the current definition, etiology, pathophysiological mechanism, treatment, and prognosis of AFMR.

Objective :
To analyze the application value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the detection of pathogenic bacteria in pulmonary infection ,and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis.
Methods :
A retrospective study was conducted on 161 patients with suspected pulmonary infection,and samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ,sputum and lung tissue were collected specimens ,pleural effusion and blood were simultaneously subjected to routine culture,respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection and pathogenic microorgan- ism mNGS detection.The sensitivity ,specificity,positive predictive value ,and negative predictive value of the three detection methods were calculated respectively to evaluate the clinical application value of mNGS.
Results:
Among 161 patients with suspected pulmonary infection,113 cases were finally confirmed as pulmonary infection. Among the 161 patients enrolled,the sensitivity and negative predictive value of mNGS were improved compared with routine culture and nucleic acid detection of respiratory pathogens,and the difference was statistically signifi- cant(P<0. 001) .Although the specificity of mNGS was higher than that of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid de- tection,the difference was not statistically significant.The positive predictive value of mNGS was the highest,and was higher than that of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection,but had no statistical significance compared with conventional culture.
Conclusion
The sensitivity of mNGS in the diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms in pul- monary infection is higher than that of conventional culture and nucleic acid detection of respiratory pathogens, which reduces the false negative rate of diagnosis and has a better comprehensive evaluation ; conventional culture detection has low sensitivity,but high specificity ; respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection compared with con- ventional culture,the sensitivity is improved,but the specificity decreased.

OBJECTIVE To establish a UPLC detection method for simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid(MPA) and its glucuronide(MPAG) in plasma of rats, and to investigate gender-related pharmacokinetic characteristics of mycophenolic acid. METHODS Twelve SD rats(half male and half female) were intragastrically administrated with 90 mg·kg-1·d-1mycophenolate acetate, and blood was collected from periorbital vein at different time points after administration. Plasma samples were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction and drug concentrations of MPA and metabolite MPAG in plasma were determined using UPLC. The method was developed using Waters BEH C18 column. The gradient elution was performed at a flow rate of 0.35 mL·min-1 with the mobile phase acetonitrile solution (A)-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution(B). The detection wavelength was at 266 nm and column oven temperature was maintained at 40 ℃. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by using DAS 2.0 software. RESULTS The linear relationship between peak area and concentrations of MPA and MPAG were good in the ranges of 0.31-160 µg·mL-1(R2=0.999 8) and 0.62-320 µg·mL-1(R2=0.999 4), respectively. Analytical methods of MPA and MPAG all met the requirements of the methodology. Pharmacokinetic parameters AUC0-t and Cmax of MPA and MPAG in female rats were higher than that in male rats(P<0.05 or P<0.01). In addition, the metabolic rate of genistein[UDP-glucuronosyltransferases(UGT)s substrate] and MPA in male rat liver microsomes were significantly faster than that in female rat liver microsomes. CONCLUSION This developed UPLC method is sensitive, accurate and specific, which is suitable to detect the concentrations of MPA and MPAG in the plasma. The pharmacokinetics of MPA and MPAG in rats are gender different, which may be related to the sex difference of UGTs metabolic enzyme activity.

Cardiovascular diseases is the leading cause of threat to human life and health worldwide. Early risk assessment, timely diagnosis, and prognosis evaluation are critical to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Currently, the evaluation of diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases mainly relies on imaging examinations such as coronary CT and coronary angiography, which are expensive, time-consuming, partly invasive, and require high professional competence of the operator, making it difficult to promote in the community or in areas where medical resources are scarce. The fundus microcirculation is a part of the human microcirculation and has similar embryological origins and physiopathological features to cardiovascular circulation. Several studies have revealed fundus imaging biomarkers associated with cardiovascular diseases, and developed and validated intelligent diagnosis and treatment models for cardiovascular diseases based on fundus imaging data. Fundus imaging is expected to be an important adjunct to cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment given its noninvasive and convenient nature. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current research status, challenges, and future prospects of the application of artificial intelligence based on multimodal fundus imaging data in cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment.
