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.

ObjectiveTo understand the seropositivity of neutralizing antibodies (NAb) and low-level NAb against SARS-CoV-2 infection in the community residents, and to explore the impact of COVID-19 vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection on the levels of NAb in human serum. MethodsOn the ground of surveillance cohort for acute infectious diseases in community populations in Shanghai, a proportional stratified sampling method was used to enroll the subjects at a 20% proportion for each age group (0‒14, 15‒24, 25‒59, and ≥60 years old). Blood samples collection and serum SARS-CoV-2 NAb concentration testing were conducted from March to April 2023. Low-level NAb were defined as below the 25th percentile of NAb. ResultsA total of 2 230 participants were included, the positive rate of NAb was 97.58%, and the proportion of low-level NAb was 25.02% (558/2 230). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age, infection history and vaccination status were correlated with low-level NAb (all P<0.05). Individuals aged 60 years and above had the highest risk of low-level NAb. There was a statistically significant interaction between booster vaccination and one single infection (aOR=0.38, 95%CI: 0.19‒0.77). Compared to individuals without vaccination, among individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 once, both primary immunization (aOR=0.23, 95%CI: 0.16‒0.35) and booster immunization (aOR=0.12, 95%CI: 0.08‒0.17) significantly reduced the risk of low-level NAb; among individuals without infections, only booster immunization (aOR=0.28, 95%CI: 0.14‒0.52) showed a negative correlation with the risk of low-level NAb. ConclusionsThe population aged 60 and above had the highest risk of low-level NAb. Regardless of infection history, a booster immunization could reduce the risk of low-level NAb. It is recommended that eligible individuals , especially the elderly, should get vaccinated in a timely manner to exert the protective role of NAb.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between smoking behavior and related factors among the adult residents in Fengxian District,so as to provide an evidence for carrying out tobacco control and other health promotion work. MethodsA multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 272 community residents aged between 15 and 69 yeas to carry out the questionnaire survey. ResultsIn 2020, the smoking rate of adult residents in Fengxian District was 23.50%. Smoking behavior was statistically correlated with age, gender, household registration, chronic disease, occupation and educational level. Smoking behavior was inversely correlated with educational level. Smoking rate of male residents was significantly higher than that of female residents, smoking rate of residents with chronic diseases was significantly higher than that of those without suffering from chronic diseases, and smoking rate of permanent registered residents was significantly higher than that of those non-locals. The highest smoking prevalence was among retired and freelancers, followed by staff of government agencies and public institutes, while the lowest was among students, followed by intellectuals. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age and education level were the main factors affecting the smoking prevalence level. ConclusionThe general smoking rate of adult residents in Fengxian District was higher than the average level in Shanghai but lower than the national level. Male residents aged ≥25 years and with lower education level are the key invention targets for tobacco control.

Objective:To analyze factors associated with timely vaccination of pertussis-containing vaccines in children born in Shanghai from 2019 to 2023.Methods:Children born in Shanghai between 2019 and 2023 were selected using a stratified random sampling method, and their vaccination data were obtained from the Shanghai Vaccine Management and Vaccination Service Information System. The vaccination rates, timely vaccination rates, and the proportions of diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-haemophilus influenzae type b combination vaccine (DTaP-Hib) and diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-inactivated poliovirus-haemophilus influenzae type b combination vaccine (DTaP-IPV-Hib) for the substitution of diphtheria- tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP) were calculated. Also, the factors associated with timely vaccination rate was analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:The average vaccination coverage rate of pertussis-containing vaccines in children born in Shanghai from 2019 to 2023 ranged from 94.71% to 99.53%. There were significant differences in the vaccination coverage of the 1 st-4 th doses of pertussis-containing vaccines among children born in different years (all P<0.05), but no gender and area specific significant differences were observed (all P>0.05). Non-national immunization program (non-NIP) vaccines were used to substitute DTaP vaccines in some children, with the proportion of DTaP-IPV-Hib vaccine accounting for 50.11%-52.69% and the proportion of DTaP-Hib vaccine accounting for 27.22%-28.43%. The proportions of DTaP-Hib and DTaP-IPV-Hib for the substitution of DTaP had increasing trends over the years. The overall timely vaccination rate of pertussis-containing vaccine vaccination was 84.09%. Analysis on the factors affecting the timely vaccination rate showed that the rate gradually decreased with the increase of the doses. Children who received the self-paid quadrivalent or pentavalent vaccines were less likely to have vaccination delays. Birth year had a significant impact on the timely vaccination rate, while the area had less impact. Additionally, the timely vaccination rate was also influenced by the degree of non-pharmaceutical intervention measures. Conclusions:The substitution of pertussis- containing vaccines with non-NIP vaccines was common in Shanghai. The coverage and timeliness of pertussis-containing vaccine vaccination were relatively high. The timely vaccination rate was significantly associated with gender, dose, vaccine type, and the degree of non-pharmaceutical interventions. There was a certain proportions of delayed and missed vaccinations, and it is necessary to pay attention to children who are not vaccinated timely and conduct high-quality catch-up vaccination to ensure timely and complete vaccination of pertussis-containing vaccines.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of scarlet fever in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2005 to 2020, and to provide scientific basis for the investigation and prevention of scarlet fever. MethodsWe collected the scarlet fever incidence data through the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention; used SPSS 17.0 to conduct descriptive epidemiological analysis; and used EpiInfo to analyze and compare the differences in incidence rates between different regions. ResultsA total of 12 012 scarlet fever cases were reported in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2005 to 2020. There were more cases in 2011, 2015 and 2017, and the difference in annual incidence was statistically significant (χ2=6 023.977, P<0.001). Scarlet fever could occur throughout the year, but the peak incidence was from April to June and November to January of the following year. The gender ratio between men and women is 1.57:1, and the patients were concentrated in 4-6 years old. The incidence rate difference in 13 neighborhoods was statistically significant (χ2=2 455.516, P<0.001). The four communities with the highest average annual incidence rate were Xinzhuang Town, Zhuanqiao Town, Maqiao Town, and Gumei Street. ConclusionFrom 2005 to 2020, the incidence of scarlet fever in Minhang District, Shanghai presents a double peak, which matches well the student semesters, and scarlet fever patients are mainly students. Attention should be paid to infection source management and epidemic surveillance in schools and other collective units, implementation of morning inspections and daily disinfection, and other prevention and control measures.

Objective To analyze the incidence and drainage pattern of the specific collateral vein (VL) located between several adjacent segments of the bilateral upper lung, and its clinical significance in the surgical treatment of early lung cancer. Methods The preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D CTBA) data of 1 515 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2017 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively, including 524 males and 991 females, with an average age of 54.27±11.43 years. There were 712 patients of right upper lung and 803 patients of left upper lung. The incidence and drainage pattern of VL in bilateral upper lungs were analyzed. Furthermore, the imaging data and medical records of 113 patients in the left upper lung were reviewed to investigate the influence of the relative position relationship between nodules and VL on the selection of operation. Results The overall incidence of VL was 72.7% (1 102/1 515) in the bilateral upper lungs, including 68.0%(484/712) in the right upper lung, and 77.0% (618/803) in the left upper lung. The incidence of VL in the left side was significantly higher than that in the right side (P<0. 05). VL mainly drained into V2a+b (327/484, 67.6%) in the right upper lung and into V1+2b+c (389/618, 62.9%) in the left upper lung. When the spherical simulative cutting margin of 2 cm of the nodule did not involve VL, it was more feasible to undergo sublobectomy than those whose simulative cutting margin of 2 cm involved VL, and the difference was statistically significant (91.9% vs. 61.5%, P<0.05). When the spherical simulative cutting margin of 2 cm of nodule involved VL, the lesion located in the middle or inner zone was more feasible to undergo lobectomy than that in the outer zone, but the difference was not statistically significant (43.8% vs. 34.8%, P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diameter of the lesion, whether the spherical simulative margin of 2 cm involving VL and the depth ratio of the lesion were independent risk factors affecting the surgical options (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of the specific collateral vein in bilateral upper lungs is high, and the drainage pattern is diverse, which has important guiding significance for preoperative planning and intraoperative manipulation. For deep nodules adjacent to VL, lobectomy or resection of left upper division is often performed to ensure a safe margin.

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between scarlet fever and meteorological factors in Minhang District, Shanghai, and provide scientific basis for prevention and control of scarlet fever and establishment of a scarlet fever early warning system. MethodsData of thea scarlet fever epidemic were obtained from China Disease Control and Prevention Information System, and the meteorological data were obtained from Shanghai Minhang Meteorological Bureau. A generalized additive model was used to explore the relationship between scarlet fever incidence and meteorological factors in the R3.6.1 software. ResultsBetween 2009 and 2020, there was a rapid increase in the incidence of scarlet fever starting from 2011. There was a negative correlation between scarlet fever and wind velocity: the higher the wind velocity, the fewer cases. The correlation of number of cases with air temperature and atmospheric pressure was non-linear. The number of scarlet fever cases was positively correlated with air temperature below 17 degrees Celsius, and negatively correlated with air temperature above 17 degrees Celsius. The number of cases decreased with the increase of atmospheric pressure when atmospheric pressure was less than 1 017 MPa, and increased with the increase of atmospheric pressure when atmospheric pressure was more than 1 017 MPa. ConclusionThe incidence of scarlet fever is negatively correlated with wind speed, which can be reduced by opening windows for ventilation. The incidence of scarlet fever has a nonlinear relationship with air temperature and air pressure. The findings of this study provide scientific information for better understanding the epidemic trend of scarlet fever in Minhang District, contribute to the establishment of an early warning system, improve the active prevention and intervention of risk factors of the disease, and reduce its social burden.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy and surgical indications of Y type osteotomy in the treatment of post-tuberculous thoracolumbar severe angular kyphosis.Methods:From March 2012 to June 2018, 36 patients with post-tuberculous thoracolumbar severe angular kyphosis were treated with Y type osteotomy, including 22 males and 14 females, aged 23.6±5.7 years (range, 7-57 years). The parietal vertebrae of kyphosis were located in the upper thoracic vertebra in 3 cases, the thoracic vertebra in 11 cases, the thoracolumbar segment in 17 cases, and the lumbar vertebra in 5 cases. The Cobb angle of kyphosis before the operation was 92.8°±23.3° (range, 60°-147°). The visual analogue scale (VAS), American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) neurological function grade, and Kirkaldy-Willis function score were used to evaluate the clinical effect. The imaging evaluation indexes were interbody kyphosis angle and spinal bone fusion.Results:The operation was successful in all the 36 patients. The operation time was 210 ±25.9 min (range, 180-270 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 520 ±110 ml (range, 400-800 ml), and the postoperative follow-up time was 26.38±1.75 months (range, 22-30 months). The postoperative kyphosis Cobb angle was corrected to 16.5°±7.7° (range, 5°-35°), which was significantly improved compared with that before operation( t=25.438, P<0.01), and the correction rate was 82.2%. At the last follow-up, the kyphosis angle was 16.5°±7.1° (range, 6°-32°), which was not significantly different from that after the operation. The preoperative VAS score was 7.3±1.8 (range, 3-9), and the postoperative VAS score was 2.4±0.8 (range, 1-3), while the improvement rate was 67.1%. At the last follow-up, it was 1.1±0.6 (range, 0-2), and the improvement rate was 85.0%. According to the Kirkaldy-Willis functional score, the results were excellent in 25 cases, good in 8 cases, and fair in 3 cases at the last follow-up, with an excellent and good rate of 91.7%. Before the operation, 9 cases were accompanied by neurological dysfunction (ASIA grade: grade C in 2 cases, grade D in 7 cases). At the last follow-up, all the 9 patients recovered to grade E. During the operation, the electrophysiological nerve monitoring was abnormal in 2 patients, and the awakening test was negative in 1 case. In another patient, neuroelectrophysiological monitoring after posterior column osteotomy showed a decrease in bilateral sensory and motor function. There was no compression around the spinal cord in the osteotomy area, so the operating bed was gradually folded and partially restored to kyphosis and temporarily fixed with double rods. Neuroelectrophysiological monitoring suggested the recovery of nerve function. The awakening test showed that the nerve function of both lower limbs recovered close to the preoperative state, and further osteotomy and internal fixation was performed 2 weeks later. The nerve function of both lower limbs returned to normal after 3 months. After the operation, one patient's muscle strength of the lower limbs decreased from grade 5 to grade 3, and the sensory function was normal. After symptomatic support treatment such as neurotrophic drugs, it returned to normal 2 weeks later. 1 case developed delayed neurological dysfunction 1 year after the operation. Neurotrophic drugs and rehabilitation treatment improved it. The sinus of the incision was formed in one case 3 months after the operation and healed after debridement and suture. Conclusion:Y typeosteotomyis a safe and effective method for patients with post-tuberculous thoracolumbar severe angular kyphosis. Compared with traditional osteotomy, anterior support bone grafting can be avoided, and spinal shortening can be reduced.
