In recent years, with the improvement of people's awareness of physical examination and the more accurate detection equipment, the detection rate of pulmonary nodules is getting higher and higher. Surgical resection is the first choice for the treatment of malignant pulmonary nodules, but multiple pulmonary nodules, nodules in complex areas and those with surgical contraindications are not suitable for surgery. As an effective, less invasive and low-cost treatment, ablation has developed rapidly in the treatment of multiple pulmonary nodules. This article introduces the progress of several common ablation techniques (radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation) in the treatment of multiple pulmonary nodules, the indications and contraindications of ablation techniques, the efficacy evaluation and complications after ablation therapy, and the prospects of ablation techniques in the treatment of multiple pulmonary nodules.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Vibrio vulnificus ( Vv) quorum-sensing protein LuxS on the homeostasis of pulmonary innate immune cells in sepsis-induced acute lung injury. Methods:This study constructed luxS knockout and complemented Vv strains. The time required for wild type, luxS knockout, and complemented Vv strains to grow to an absorbance of 600 nm in liquid medium was measured using a spectrophotometer. Iron-overloaded mice were intraperitoneally infected with 1×10 5 CFU of the above three kinds of Vv strains, respectively. Clinical scoring for sepsis-induced dyspnea was used to evaluate the respiratory quality in mice. At 7 h after infection, the pathological changes in lung tissues were observed by HE staining; the bacterial loads in lung tissues were measured; the single-cell suspension of lung tissues was analyzed by flow cytometry. Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) was used to reduce the dimension of the distribution of CD45 + immune cells in lung tissues of mice in the PBS control group and infection groups with different strains. The frequency and absolute number of innate immune cells in lung tissues were analyzed by multicolor flow cytometry. One-way analysis of variance and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:There was no significant difference in the growth rate of wild type, luxS knockout, and complemented Vv strains in liquid medium. Compared with the mice infected with the wild type or complemented strain, the mice infected with the luxS knockout strain exhibited overall alleviated respiratory difficulty, decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissues, and reduced bacterial load in lung tissues ( P<0.05). Besides, there was no significant difference in clinical respiratory scores, inflammatory cell infiltration, or bacterial loads between the mice infected with the complemented strain and wild type strain. UMAP analysis showed that compared with the mice infected with the luxS knockout strain, the mice infected with the wild type or complemented strain showed increased proportions of neutrophils and eosinophils in lung tissues. Results of multicolor flow cytometry analysis further verified that the proportions of neutrophils and eosinophils were significantly lower in the mice infected with the luxS knockout strain than in the mice infected with wild type or complemented strain ( P<0.01, P<0.000 1), while the proportion of alveolar macrophages was significantly higher as compared with that in the mice infected with wild type or complemented strain ( P<0.01). Conclusion:During Vv infection, LuxS may promote acute lung injury by affecting the homeostasis of neutrophils, eosinophils and resident macrophages in lung tissues.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the therapeutic mechanism of puerarin for alleviating synovitis in rats with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). METHODS: In a SD rat model of CIA, we tested the effects of daily gavage of puerarin at low, moderate and high doses (10, 30, and 100 mg/kg, respectively) for 3 weeks, with tripterygium glycosides (GTW, 10 mg/kg) as the positive control, on swelling in the hind limb joints regions evaluated by arthritis index scoring. Mass fraction of the liver of the rats was calculated, and pathologies in joint synovial membrane were observed with HE staining. The expressions of transforming growth factor β‑activated kinase-1 (TAK1), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and nuclear factor kappa-Bp65 (NF‑κB p65) at the mRNA and protein levels in the synovial tissues were detected using Real-time PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with those in the model group, the rats in GTW group and high-dose puerarin group showed significantly reduced mass fraction of the liver. Treatment with GTW and puerarin at the 3 doses all significantly alleviated plantar swelling, lowered arthritis index scores, and improved synovitis in CIA rats (P<0.05), and the effects of puerarin showed an obvious dose dependence. Both GTW and puerarin treatments significantly lowered TAK1, TLR4, and NF‑κB p65 mRNA and protein expressions in the synovium of CIA rats. CONCLUSIONS Puerarin alleviates synovium damages in CIA rats possibly by suppressing the TLR4/NF‑κB signaling pathway via downregulating TAK1 expression.

Objective:To investigate the role of pyroptosis in T-2 toxin induced articular cartilage injury.Methods:A total of 145 SPF grade male Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group ( n = 45), solvent control group ( n = 45), and T-2 toxin group ( n = 55) based on body weight (50 - 70 g). The T-2 toxin group and the solvent control group were given 100 ng·g -1·d -1 T-2 toxin and an equal amount of anhydrous ethanol by gavage, respectively; the blank control group was fed routinely. Fifteen rats from each group were euthanized at 6, 12, and 24 weeks of intervention, and bilateral knee joints of the rats were collected. Pathological changes in rat knee articular cartilage were observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining was used to detect chondrocyte injury. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of gasdermin D (GSDMD), cleaved N-terminal of gasdermin D (GSDMD-N), NOD like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 1 (Caspase-1), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 18 (IL-18), and apoptosis-associated spike-like protein containing CARD (ASC). Results:At 6, 12, and 24 weeks of intervention, the T-2 toxin group rats showed varying degrees of damage to the knee articular cartilage tissue, including a decrease in the number of chondrocytes and death. At 24 weeks of intervention, the TUNEL staining positivity rates of chondrocytes in the blank control group, solvent control group, and T-2 toxin group were (1.28 ± 0.45)%, (0.73 ± 0.27)%, and (4.01 ± 2.37)%, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the groups ( F = 6.11, P = 0.036); and the T-2 toxin group was higher than the blank control group ( P < 0.05). At 24 weeks of intervention, there were statistically significant differences in the expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, and IL-1β proteins among the blank control group, solvent control group, and T-2 toxin group ( F = 3.81, 11.81, 6.74, 3.71, 155.49, P = 0.044, 0.003, 0.023, 0.036, 0.001); and the T-2 toxin group was higher than the blank control group ( P < 0.05). At different intervention cycles, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of ASC and IL-18 proteins among the groups ( F = 0.78, 0.93, 3.73, 2.26, 0.88, 0.11, P > 0.05). Conclusion:The NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway mediated pyroptosis is involved in T-2 toxin induced articular cartilage injury in rats.

Objective To address the bottlenecks in the application of wastewater biological treatment technology under space conditions,an experimental system for the biological treatment of space wastewater was constructed and its biochemical performance examined.The findings of this study will provide technical support for the biological treatment of space wastewater.Methods Based on the Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor(MABR)process,a biological treatment experimental system for space wastewater was constructed and conducted the continuous flow test for 77 days to investigate the performance of PVDF and PP membrane modules in the treatment of simulated air condensate.Results The results demonstrated that both membrane modules exhibited an average TOC removal rate of 90%,indicative of their effective organic matter removal capacity.In the air supply mode,the ammonia oxidation capacity was observed to be comparatively lower,whereas in the oxygen source without bubbling mode,the nitrogen oxidation rate and total nitrogen removal rate could be attained above 90%,indicating a notable degree of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification.The results demonstrated that the mode of gas supply had a significant impact on the nitrogen conversion performance.The abundance of nitrogen-converting bacteria in PP membrane module is higher than that in PVDF membrane module,indicating a better nitrogen-converting performance in PP membrane module.Conclusion The constructed wastewater biological treatment system is optimally suited for the treatment of air condensate,thereby offering a novel technical approach for space wastewater treatment.

Objective To observe conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)manifestations of Ewing sarcoma(ES)in children.Methods Fifteen children with pathologically confirmed ES were retrospectively collected.Conventional ultrasound and CEUS characteristics of lesions were analyzed.Results Among 15 cases,ES of bone(ESB)was found in 7 cases,while extraskeletal ES(EES)was observed in the other 8 cases.Solitary tumor was noticed in 14 cases,with a median maximum diameter of 7.50 cm,while multiple abdominal masses were found in 1 case.The tumors had irregular shapes and poorly defined boundaries,with medium echogenicity in 7 cases,low echogenicity in 6 cases,while in other 2 cases present as cystic-solid lesions.CDFI showed sparse blood flow in 11 cases,abundant or slightly abundant blood flow in 2 and 1 case,respectively,while no obvious blood flow was observed in 1 case.Rapid high enhancement and rapid washout were found in all 7 cases underwent CEUS,while patchy no-enhancement areas were detected in 4 cases.Conclusion Conventional ultrasonic manifestations of ES had certain specificities,which demonstrated a rapid enhancement and rapid washout pattern during CEUS and may be accompanied by necrosis.
