Objective To explore the impact of number of positive regional lymph nodes (nPRLN) in N1 stage on the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods Patients with TxN1M0 stage NSCLC who underwent lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection from 2010 to 2015 were screened from SEER database (17 Regs, 2022nov sub). The optimal cutoff value of nPRLN was determined using X-tile software, and patients were divided into 2 groups according to the cutoff value: a nPRLN≤optimal cutoff group and a nPRLN>optimal cutoff group. The influence of confounding factors was minimized by propensity score matching (PSM) at a ratio of 1 : 1. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate overall survival (OS) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) of patients. Results A total of 1316 patients with TxN1M0 stage NSCLC were included, including 662 males and 654 females, with a median age of 67 (60, 73) years. The optimal cutoff value of nPRLN was 3, with 1165 patients in the nPRLN≤3 group and 151 patients in the nPRLN>3 group. After PSM, there were 138 patients in each group. Regardless of before or after PSM, OS and LCSS of patients in the nPRLN≤3 group were superior to those in the nPRLN>3 group (P<0.001). N1 stage nPRLN>3 was an independent prognostic risk factor for OS [HR=1.52, 95%CI (1.22, 1.89), P<0.001] and LCSS [HR=1.72, 95%CI (1.36, 2.18), P<0.001]. Conclusion N1 stage nPRLN>3 is an independent prognostic risk factor for NSCLC patients in TxN1M0 stage, which may provide new evidence for future revision of TNM staging N1 stage subclassification.

This paper summarizes Professor WANG Yaoxian's experience in treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from the perspective of spleen and stomach based on the "internal heat leading to concretions" theory. It is considered that internal heat leading to concretions constitutes the core pathogenesis of DKD, with the spleen and stomach serving as the source of internal heat; therefore, treatment should be based on regulating the spleen and stomach. In the early stage of DKD, dysfunction of the spleen and stomach leads to the initial generation of internal heat. Common syndrome patterns include gastrointestinal heat accumulation and constrained heat in the liver and stomach, for which modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction (葛根芩连汤) can be used to clear heat bind while modified Dachaihu Decoction (大柴胡汤) is used to clear stomach and soothe liver, respectively. In the middle stage of DKD, weakness of the spleen and stomach results in the initial formation of concretions and conglomerations. Common patterns include spleen deficiency with prevalence of dampness and deficiency of both the spleen and kidney. Treatment emphasizes strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness, raising yang and boosting the stomach with modified Shengyang Yiwei Decoction (升阳益胃汤), or supplementing spleen and boosting kidney, dissipating bind and dispe-ring concretions with modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction (参芪地黄汤), respectively. In the late stage of DKD, it is characterized by spleen and stomach depletion, and rampant accumulation of turbidity and toxin, and the common syndrome patterns are damp-turbidity obstruction in the middle jiao (焦) and spleen-kidney yang deficiency. Treatment aims to remove turbidity and harmonize the stomach, or to warm the kidney and strengthen the spleen while elimina-ting turbidity, using modified Dahuang Gancao Decoction(大黄甘草汤) and Jupi Zhuru Decoction (橘皮竹茹汤) or modified Baoyuan Decoction (保元汤) and Lizhong Decoction (理中汤), respectively. In clinical practice, appropriate formulas and medications are flexibly selected according to specific syndromes.

Objective To investigate the cross-sectional associations between different fatty liver classifications and cardiac structure and function in people undergo health examination. Methods A total of 6 545 adults who underwent health examinations at the Health Management Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between January 1 and December 31, 2017, were retrospectively included. Demographic characteristics and laboratory data were collected. The hepatic steatosis was graded by ultrasonography. And patients with fatty liver were further stratified according to alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, as well as the degree of liver fibrosis. Cardiac morphology and function were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography, and left ventricular geometric patterns were classified accordingly. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the associations between fatty liver classifications and cardiac abnormalities. Results There were 2 795 patients (42.7%) with fatty liver, of whom 832 (29.8%) had significant cardiac structural alterations and 1 500 (53.7%) had diastolic dysfunction. Severe fatty liver was risk factor for concentric remodeling and increased relative wall thickness (RWT), with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.27 (P=0.012) and 1.27 (P=0.009), respectively. Fatty liver accompanied by elevated ALT or AST was risk factor for concentric remodeling (OR=1.45,1.56; P=0.001, 0.001), increased RWT (OR=1.48,1.57; P<0.001, <0.001), and diastolic dysfunction (OR=1.27, 1.32; P=0.035, 0.040), respectively. Fatty liver with liver fibrosis was risk factor for concentric remodeling (OR=1.83, P=0.046) and diastolic dysfunction (OR=2.64, P=0.034). Conclusions Advanced fatty liver, including severe hepatic steatosis, accompanied by elevated liver enzymes or liver fibrosis, could increase risks of cardiac remodeling and diastolic dysfunction, while systolic function is preserved. For patients with fatty liver, it is recommended to undergo regular ultrasonography examination.

Objective:To investigate the value of gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI combined with T 1 mapping in preoperative prediction of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) and glypican-3 (GPC3) positive dual-phenotype hepatocellular carcinoma (DPHCC). Methods:This case-control study included retrospectively enrolled patients with pathologically confirmed HCC from Central People′s Hospital of Zhanjiang (training set, n=85; December 2020 to July 2022) and the Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, South China University of Technology (test set, n=35; April 2023 to April 2024). Patients were categorized into CK19 and GPC3 positive DPHCC group (training set=19, test set=11) and non-DPHCC group (training set=66, test set=24) based on postoperative immunohistochemical staining. All patients received preoperative MRI scans, including gadoxetate disodium-enhanced imaging and T 1 mapping. Clinical data were collected, qualitative MRI features were evaluated, and quantitative parameters were measured, including signal intensity, T 1 values, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), tumor-to-liver ADC ratio (rADC), tumor-to-liver signal intensity ratio, and T 1 relaxation time reduction rate (ΔT 1%). Statistical comparisons between groups were performed using independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, or χ2 tests. Multivariate logistic regression identified independent predictors of CK19 and GPC3 positive DPHCC, and a combined model was constructed. Predictive performance was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), with DeLong test comparing model performance. Results:Significant intergroup differences were observed in alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, DWI target sign, rADC, hepatobiliary-phase T 1 (T 1HBP), and ΔT 1% ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified AFP>20 ng/ml ( OR=5.835, 95% CI 1.019-33.397, P=0.048), DWI target sign ( OR=13.408, 95% CI 2.216-81.131, P=0.005), and ΔT1%≤31% ( OR=14.429, 95% CI 2.166-96.125, P=0.006) as independent predictors of DPHCC. The AUC values of the aforementioned three independent predictors and the combined model for predicting DPHCC were 0.641 (95% CI 0.530-0.742), 0.679 (95% CI 0.569-0.777), 0.740 (95% CI 0.634-0.829), and 0.886 (95% CI 0.799-0.945) in the training set, and 0.568 (95% CI 0.390-0.743), 0.669 (95% CI 0.490-0.818), 0.689 (95% CI 0.511-0.843), and 0.824 (95% CI 0.658-0.931) in the test set, respectively. The DeLong test results showed that in the training set, the diagnostic performance of the combined model was superior to those of the three individual features ( Z=3.68, P<0.001; Z=3.15, P=0.002; Z=3.15, P=0.002). In the test cohort, the combined model demonstrated better diagnostic performance than AFP>20 ng/ml and ΔT 1%≤31% ( Z=2.15, P=0.032; Z=2.12, P=0.034), while no statistically significant difference was observed compared with the DWI target sign ( Z=1.77, P=0.076). Conclusion:The integrated model incorporating clinical data, gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI, and T 1 mapping parameters effectively predicts CK19 and GPC3 positive DPHCC.
