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.

Palliative care is recognized as an effective measure to improve the quality of life for patients with end-stage diseases， and the significance and role of such patients participating in clinical trials to conquer major diseases has also become a broad consensus. However， due to the special physical， psychological， and social conditions of terminal trial participants， the ethical problems encountered in the trial process are more serious and complex. Drawing on ethical practice experience， these seemingly common phenomena and issues were deeply analyzed. Combined with the palliative care philosophy for end-stage patients， this paper proposed a series of improvement suggestions throughout the entire life cycle of clinical trials， hoping to promote the quality improvement of clinical research in which end-stage patients participate as subjects， while effectively protecting the safety and rights of the subjects and ensuring they receive appropriate palliative care during their participation in clinical trials or clinical-related scientific research.

Objective: To explore the clinical manifestations and treatment plans of chronic recurrent parotitis (CRP), and to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CRP. Methods: Approval was obtained from the hospital’s Medical Ethics Committee, and a retrospective analysis and summary of the clinical features, imaging characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of 41 CRP patients with complete data were performed. Results: Among the 41 patients with CRP, 14 were male and 27 were female, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 1:2 (14/27). The age at first-time onset ranged from 3 to 23 years, with a median age of 6 years, and there were 38 patients (92.7%, 38/41) with the first onset age of under 18 years old. The age of the first visit to our hospital ranged from 4 to 72 years old, with an average age of (41.0 ± 17.3) years; the disease duration was 0.5 to 66 years, with an average of 35.0 ± 16.1 years. Twenty-five cases had bilateral parotid gland involvement (61.0%, 25/41). The clinical manifestations of CRP are repeated swelling of one or both parotid glands, along with discomfort, and this may be accompanied by mild edema or skin flushing and pus or jelly-like secretions at the duct openings. The typical manifestations of parotid angiography are: the dominant duct and branch ducts of the parotid gland do not have specific dilation or narrowing, and the peripheral ducts show characteristic “punctate, spherical, or cavitary” dilation and delayed emptying. Of the cases, 34 had abnormal enlargement of the main duct orifice (82.9%, 34/41), and 37 presented with abnormal anterior displacement of the accessory glands (90.2%, 37/41). The treatment plan of “antibiotic perfusion + aspiration and removal of obstruction (or aspiration after obstruction dissolution)+ postprandia massage along the direction of the parotid duct (from posterior to anterior) with multiple courses for consolidation”achieved favorable outcomes. The mean follow-up period of this group was(71.1+21.9)months, and no recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. Conclusion CRP is more prevalent in young females and frequently presents with bilateral involvement. Congenital anatomical defects, such as abnormal enlargement of the main duct orifice and abnormal anterior displacement of the accessory glands, are important predisposing factors. The multi-course comprehensive therapy centered on antibiotic infusion, removal and dissolution of obstructions, and post-prandial massage along the direction of the parotid duct has significant therapeutic effects and deserves clinical application.

Objective: To examine the associations between peer bullying and parental phubbing with executive function and their combined effect among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide scientific evidence for promoting healthy development of executive function among primary and secondary school students. Methods: In November 2024, a combining convenience with clustering method was used to select 3 547 primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen City. The Chinese versions of the Delaware Bullying Victimization Scale-Student (DBVS-S), the Parental Phubbing Scale (PPS), and the Teenage Executive Functioning Inventory (TEXI) were used to assess peer bullying, parental phubbing, and executive function, respectively. Generalized linear regression models were applied to analyze the associations of peer bullying and parental phubbing with executive function, and to assess their joint effects. Subgroup analyses were performed by ages and genders, and multiplicative interaction terms were used to test for interactions. Results: The score for peer bullying among primary and secondary school students was (15.27± 5.67 ), with verbal bullying, physical bullying, and relational bullying scores being (5.64±2.77) (4.70±1.62) (4.93±2.07), respectively. The score for parental phubbing was (13.98±5.00). Executive function score was (47.35±15.89), while inhibitory control and working memory scores were (26.44±9.00) (20.91±7.49), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, gender, self reported family relationship, self reported family economic status, parental education level, both peer bullying ( β= 0.75, 95%CI =0.67-0.84), verbal bullying( β=1.41, 95%CI =1.23-1.58), physical bullying ( β=2.18, 95%CI =1.87- 2.49 ), relational bullying ( β=1.78, 95%CI =1.54-2.01) and parental phubbing ( β=0.88, 95%CI =0.79-0.98) were significantly positively associated with the degree of executive function impairment (all P <0.01). Joint effect analysis showed that, compared with the "no bullying low phubbing" group, the total executive function scores in other combined exposure groups were all higher ( β = 6.78-15.96, all P <0.01). Among them, the "bullying high phubbing" group exhibited the highest level of executive function impairment ( β=14.17, 95%CI=12.61-15.73, P <0.01). Subgroup analysis indicated significant interactions between verbal bullying and age on total executive function, inhibitory control, and working memory (all P interaction <0.01). The association of verbal bullying with executive function was slightly higher in primary and secondary school students younger than 13 years ( β=1.80, 95%CI = 1.45-2.16) than in those aged 13 years or older ( β=1.25, 95%CI =1.05-1.45) (both P <0.01). Other types of bullying and parental phone neglect showed no statistically significant interaction with age or gender in executive function, inhibitory control, and working memory(all P interaction >0.05). Conclusion Both peer bullying and parental phubbing are significantly associated with impaired executive function among primary and secondary school students, and there is a combined effect between them; among these, the association between verbal bullying and executive function impairment in younger primary and secondary school students is more pronounced.

Objective:The preliminary results was reported regarding the treatment of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fixation in the last decade, especially preventing recurrence of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fan-shaped fixation.Methods:We selected 12 patients who received emergency operation in Chongqing Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2010 to March 2022. All of them were made a definite diagnose of mesenteric torsion by the preoperative CT scan or exploratory laparotomy. The recurrence of mesenteric torsion will be prevented by taking the operation of mesenteric fan-shaped fixation. This technique is suitable for the patient who is suffering total mesenteric torsion, but enteric necrosis is excluded affirmatively. The operation is consists of the following progress: (1) Exploratory laparotomy to check for necrosis of the bowel and for lesions other than torsion. (2) Mesenteric torsion derotation.(3) Mesenteric linear fixation; the right posterior lower border of the small mesentery (terminal ileal mesentery) is intermittently sutured to the posterior peritoneum of the right lower quadrant to increase the width of the base of the small mesentery. (4) Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation, which is fan-shaped to the lower left and fixed in the posterior peritoneum, shortening the length of the mesentery and further increasing the width of the mesentery and posterior peritoneal fixation.Results:A total of 12 patients with mesenteric torsion were treated by operation for 15 times in all. Among them, 3 cases received resection of most small bowel were performed without recurrence; 3 patients received only derotation for a total of 4 times, 2 cases recurred, 1 of them recurred twice; 4 cases underwent derotation and mesenteric linear fixation,and 1 case recurred. Four patients with derotation and mesenteric fan-shaped fixation recovered well without recurrence.Conclusion:Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation may be an effective operative type to reduce or avoid postoperative recurrence of mesenteric torsion.

Objective:To analyze the epidemic characteristics of reported tuberculosis incidence in Kashgar from 2015 to 2022, and use the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to predict the incidence, providing references for the local control of pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:The reported incidence data of tuberculosis in the Kashgar area of Xinjiang from January 2015 to August 2023 were collected through the"Infectious Disease Monitoring System", a subsystem of the "Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System". The epidemic characteristics of reported incidence in this area from 2015 to 2022 were analyzed. Two SARIMA models of monthly reported incidence number and rate were established. The prediction performance of the two models was evaluated using the reported incidence data of tuberculosis from January 2023 to August 2023. The χ2 test was used to analyze population characteristics, and the Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to analyze annual incidence. Results:From 2015 to 2022, 133 972 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were reported in Kashgar, with a yearly reported incidence rate of 383.64/100 000, showing a rising trend ( TCA=77.03, P<0.001) and then a declining trend ( TCA=176.16, P<0.001). The proportion of pathogenic positive pulmonary tuberculosis had increased yearly ( TCA=132.66, P<0.001). The reported onset time was concentrated from January to June each year, with a peak in April. Yengisar County, Zepu County and Yopurga County had the highest reported incidence rate in Kashgar. The sex ratio of men to women was 1.03∶1, and the reported incidence rate of men was higher than that of women ( χ2=27.04, P<0.001). The reported incidence rate of the group aged 60 years and older was the highest. The patient′s occupation was mainly farmers (84.99%). The average relative errors of the SARIMA ( 1, 1, 2) ( 0, 1, 1) 12 model and SARIMA ( 0, 1, 1)( 0, 1, 1) 12 model in predicting the reported monthly incidence number and rate were 11.67% and -9.81%, respectively. Both models had good prediction accuracy (MAPE=33.55%, MAPE=38.22%). Conclusion:The average reported incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Kashgar area shows a rising trend first and then a declining trend. The patients are mainly men and farmers, and attention should be paid to the prevention and control of tuberculosis among the elderly in winter and spring. The SARIMA ( 1, 1, 2) ( 0, 1, 1) 12 model and SARIMA ( 0, 1, 1)( 0, 1, 1) 12 model can fit the trend of reported tuberculosis incidence in the Kashgar area well and have good predictive performance.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different timing of arterial -venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) on the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock (AMICS).Methods:This study was a prospective cohort study. AMICS patients received VA-ECMO support primary percutaneous coronary intervention in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from May 2017 to July 2023 were divided into early VA-ECMO group and late VA-ECMO group. 64 AMICS patients who met the indications for VA-ECMO implantation, but did not revive VA-ECMO were included as control group. Demographic characteristics, coronary interventional (PCI) information and complications after VA-ECMO implantation were collected. The primary end points was 1-year survival, minor end point were in-hospital and perioperative death. Multivariate Logistic and Cox regression models were used to evaluate the effect of timing of VA-ECMO on prognosis of AMICS patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the 1-year survival outcome of the 3 groups.Results:A total of 143 AMICS patients were included, and materials of 136 patients entered in the final analysis, including 42 in the early VA-ECMO group, 34 in the late VA-ECMO group, and 60 in the non-VA-ECMO group. Compared with the late VA-ECMO group, the early VA-ECMO group had a higher ratio of PPCI after VA-ECMO, a longer D-to-B time, a shorter VA-ECMO support time, a higher success rate of VA-ECMO withdrawal, and a lower complication rate (all P<0.05). Compared with the early VA-ECMO group, the perioperative, in-hospital and 1-year mortality were significantly higher in Non-ECMO support (all P<0.05). There was no difference in perioperative and in-hospital mortality between the early VA-ECMO group and the late VA-ECMO group, but the 1-year mortality in the late VA-ECMO group was significantly higher ( P<0.05). Perioperative, in-hospital and 1-year mortality rates were lower in the late VA-ECMO group than in the no-VA-ECMO group, but the differences were not statistically significant. Multivariate Logistic and Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting interference factors, early VA-ECMO was still a protective factor for in-hospital ( OR=0.244, P=0.015) and one year ( HR=0.308, P=0.001)mortality. Kaplan-Merier survival curve showed that compared with the late VA-ECMO group and the group without VA-ECMO, the early VA-ECMO group had the highest 1-year survival rate. Conclusion:Patients with AMICS may benefit more from early VA-ECMO than from late VA-ECMO support for PPCI.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of pentoxifylline sequential therapy combined with rasagiline and levodopa in the treatment of elderly patients with symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD), and the influence on hemorheology and serum Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway downstream related inflammatory factors.Methods:A prospective study method was used to select 90 elderly patients with PD with fluctuating symptoms who were admitted to the Eighth People′s Hospital of Hebei Province from June 2021 to October 2022 as research objects. The patients were divided into observation group and control group with 45 cases in each group according to random number table method. The observation group was treated with pentoxifylline sequential therapy combined with rasagiline and levodopa. The control group was treated with rasagiline combined with levodopa. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. The unified Parkinson disease rating scale (UPDRS), Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), Berg balance scale (BBS) and 39-item Parkinson disease quality of life questionnaire (PDQ-39) were scored before and after treatment. Hemorheology indexes and serum levels of related inflammatory factors downstream of TLR4 signaling pathway, including whole blood high viscosity (HBV), whole blood low shear viscosity (LBV), plasma viscosity (PV), fibrinogen (FIB); TLR4, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α, were detected before and after treatment in both groups. The adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group: 93.33% (42/45) vs. 77.78% (35/45), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). After treatment, the UPDRS mental activity and emotional disorders, daily living ability, motor function, motor complications scores and PDQ-39 score of the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment, the MoCA and BBS scores were significantly higher than before treatment, and the improvement was more significant in the observation group, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, HBV, LBV, PV and FIB in the observation group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment: (6.52 ± 0.92) mPa·s vs. (7.25 ± 1.24) mPa·s, (11.45 ± 1.24) mPa·s vs. (14.13 ± 1.64) mPa·s, (1.55 ± 0.17) mPa·s vs. (1.88 ± 0.22) mPa·s, (3.25 ± 0.47) g/L vs. (3.82 ± 0.52) g/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in hemorheology indexes of control group before and after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, serum levels of TLR4, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in both groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment, and the indexes in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (2.07 ± 0.18) ng/L vs. (2.58 ± 0.21) ng/L, (1.42 ± 0.17) ng/L vs. (2.28 ± 0.25) ng/L, (1.56 ± 0.22) ng/L vs. (2.42 ± 0.28) ng/L, (46.31 ± 3.17) ng/L vs. (54.34 ± 3.65) ng/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Pentoxifylline sequential therapy combined with rasagiline and levodopa can effectively improve the hemorheology of elderly patients with PD accompanied by symptom fluctuations, reduce the levels of related inflammatory factors downstream of serum TLR4 signaling pathway, and improve clinical efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the differences in chemical composition and pharmacological effects between Angelica-Astragalus medicine pair decoction(DGD)and traditional decotion,and to provide a reference for the rational clinical application of Danggui Buxue decoction.Methods With the two comparison methods of unified and non-uniform raw material source batches,we set up different sample groups,established characteristic maps by HPLC,and evaluated the chemical components based on the similarity of characteristic maps,component types,index component content,common peak area,and other factors.The efficacy of the drug was evaluated in the hemorrhagic blood deficiency model mice.Results ①The similarity of the feature map between the DGD and TD was high(similarity was greater than 0.87).②The number of chromatographic peaks was inconsistent.Traditional decoction from self-purchased decoction pieces,or traditional decoction-Factory A decoction pieces had a total of 12 chromatographic peaks each.The DGD of Factory A had a total of 15 chromatographic peaks.There were 10 chromatographic peaks in the DGD of Factory B.③The contents of ferulic acid and calycosin 7-O-glucoside(CG)in DGD of Factory A were higher than those in traditional decoction(P<0.05,n=3).There was no significant difference between DGD and TD ferulic acid content in Factory B,but the content of CG was lower than that in traditional decoction(P<0.05).④The total area of common peaks in DGD was different from that in TD.The relative total ratios of the contents of the components in the self-purchased traditional decoction pieces,the traditional decoction pieces of Factory A,the formula granules of Factory A,and the formula granules of Factory B were 1.00,0.96,2.14,0.60,respectively.⑤Both DGD and traditional decoction could significantly promote the recovery of hemoglobin and red blood cells in hemorrhagic anemia model mice(P<0.01);Compared with the model control group,there was a significantly difference(P<0.05)except for the DGD group of Plant B.There was no significant difference between DGD and TD of Plant A,but there was a very significant difference between DGD and TD of Plant B(P<0.01).Conclusion Whether the raw material source batch is consistent or not,DGD and TD have certain differences in chemical composition.In terms of pharmacological effect,DGD,prepared from a unified batch of decoction pieces,has similar efficacy to traditional decoction in alleviating hemorrhagic anemia.There are certain differences in the pharmacological effects between DGD prepared from different batches of decoction pieces and traditional decoctions.The differences caused by the different preparation processes of the same source batch of prepared slices were compared,and the quality differences of the formula granules from different manufacturers were caused by the different source batches of prepared slices and different preparation processes,indicating the necessity and urgency of the country to formulate a unified quality standard for formula granules and related process specifications.
