Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. With the prevalence of CT screening and early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in China, more and more patients with early-stage lung cancer characterized with ground-glass opacity are discovered and urgently require treatment, which poses a significant challenge to surgeons. As an emerging technology, three dimensional reconstruction technology plays a crucial auxiliary role in clinical work. This review aims to briefly introduce this technology, focusing on its latest advances in surgical applications in early lung cancer screening, malignant risk assessment, and perioperative period application and medical education.

BackgroundAtypical antipsychotics have been widely used in patients with chronic schizophrenia, and aripiprazole and risperidone are the most commonly used drugs. The mechanism of action of the two is different, while previous studies have provided insufficient credible evidence from multiple perspectives to support the comparative efficacy of the two drugs in improving symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia. ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of aripiprazole and risperidone on the improvement of symptoms, prepulse inhibition (PPI), cognitive functioning and neurotrophic factors in patients with chronic schizophrenia, so as to provide effective treatment regimens for these patients. MethodsA total of 86 patients with chronic schizophrenia attending the psychiatry department of the Third People's Hospital of Fuyang from March 2021 to March 2023 and fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) were enrolled and grouped using random number table method, each with 43 cases. Aripiprazole group was given oral aripiprazole once daily at an initial dose of 5 mg for one week and then gradually increased to a maximum dose of 25 mg. Risperidone group received oral risperidone twice daily at an initial dose of 0.5 mg for one week and then gradually increased to a maximum dose of 3 mg. Treatment in both groups lasted 3 months. Before treatment and 3 months after treatment, Patients were required to complete Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), detection of both strong and weak PPIs in a startle modification passive attention paradigm, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and the measurement of neurotrophic factors at baseline and after treatment. The adverse reactions were recorded. Analysis of covariance was used to test the difference between the PANSS score, PPI, WCST and neurotrophic factor levels of the groups, with the pretest used as the covariate. Results3 months after treatment, no statistical difference was found in the scores of PANSS general psychopathology subscale, positive symptom subscale, negative symptom subscale and total score between two groups after treatment (F=0.621, 0.815, 0.743, 0.752, P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in PPI inhibition rate, single intense stimulus amplitude, single intense stimulus latency, prepulse inhibition amplitude, or prepulse inhibition latency (F=0.174, 0.001, 0.183, 0.171, 0.001, P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total number of WCST tests between two groups (F=0.512, P>0.05), whereas aripiprazole group reported significantly larger total numbers of categories completed and correct responses as well as smaller total numbers of random errors and perseverative errors compared to risperidone group (F=3.737, 4.621, 4.892, 5.130, P<0.05). A significant increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) along with a reduction in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were documented in risperidone group when compared to risperidone group (F=4.414, 3.781, 6.319, P<0.05). No significant difference was demonstrated in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (χ2=0.261, P>0.05). ConclusionAripiprazole may be more beneficial than risperidone in improving cognitive functioning and neurotrophic factor levels in patients with chronic schizophrenia.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the methodological quality of the postoperative chemotherapy guidelines/ consensuses for ovarian epithelial tumor. METHODS A search was conducted across databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CBM, VIP, Chinese Medical Journal Data, Wanfang Data, and CNKI, as well as the official websites of GIN, NICE, Medlive, AHRQ, CSCO, ASCO, and NCCN. The search period was from the establishment of the databases/websites to March 10, 2025. The quality of the included guidelines/consensus was evaluated by using the AGREE-Ⅱ tool. RESULTS A total of 16 guidelines/consensuses were included. The domain scores of AGREE-Ⅱ evaluation were as follows: scope and purpose of 85.07%, participants of 47.92%, rigor of development of 57.49%, clarity of presentation of 88.02%, applicability of 8.20%, and independence of 53.39%. Among them, 14 were recommended at grade B and 2 were recommended at grade C. The subgroup analysis by different countries/regions and different types of studies showed that the scores for participants, rigor of development, and independence of the guidelines/consensuses in China were significantly lower than foreign countries (P<0.05); the scores for participants and rigor of development of the guidelines were significantly higher than consensuses (P<0.05). The guideline/ consensus recommendation results indicated that grade B guidelines/consensus recommend platinum-based combination chemotherapy as the preferred adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for stage Ⅰ high-grade serous carcinoma patients;platinum-based combination chemotherapy±bevacizumab was recommended as the preferred adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ high- grade serous carcinoma patients and for platinum-sensitive recurrent high-grade serous carcinoma patients; non-platinum single- agent chemotherapy±bevacizumab was recommended as the preferred chemotherapy regimen for platinum-resistant recurrent high- grade serous carcinoma patients. CONCLUSIONS The overall quality of postoperative chemotherapy guidelines/consensuses for ovarian epithelial tumor is not high. The methodological quality of guidelines/consensuses in China is still lagging behind that of foreign countries. The recommendations differ from those in foreign countries. It is recommended to improve the aspects of participants, rigor of development, and independence, to recommend treatment plans based on the different stages of ovarian cancer, and develop guidelines/consensuses that align with China’s national conditions.

Objective:
To investigate the expressions of GPR15 and FOXP3 in colorectal carcinoma(CRC) tissues and their clinical prognostic values.
Methods :
A total of 132 patients with CRC underwent radical surgery were collected. The control group selected the normal mucosal tissues more than 5 cm away from the edge of the cancer focus. Immunohistochemistry(Envision two-step method) was used to detect the expression levels of GPR15 and FOXP3 in CRC and adjacent tissues, and analyze their relationships with clinicopathological factors of colorectal cancer. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve to analyze the correlation between the expressions of GPR15 and FOXP3 and the survival prognosis of patients with CRC. The factors influencing prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed by Cox regression.
Results :
The immunohistochemistry showed that the expression levels of GPR15 and FOXP3 in CRC were significantly higher than those in normal colorectal mucosal tissues(P<0.05). The expression of GPR15 in CRC tissues was correlated with location, nerve invasion and TNM stage; FOXP3 expression was correlated with sex(P<0.05).Both expressions were not significantly correlated with the clinicopathologic features of age, tumor size, differentiation degree, tissue type, depth of invasion, tumor budding, vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis. Correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between GPR15 and FOXP3 expression(Kappa=-0.019,P>0.05). The survival prognosis of GPR15 positive group was significantly worse than that of negative group(log-rank: χ2=4.3,P=0.039);while the survival prognosis of FOXP3 positive group was significantly better than that of negative group(log-rank: χ2=7.3,P=0.007).Age ≤55 years, positive GPR15 and negative FOXP3 were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with CRC(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The expression levels of GPR15 and FOXP3 in CRC are significantly higher than those in paracancer tissues, GPR15 and FOXP3 are expected to become new tumor markers for early screening, accurate treatment and prognosis assessment of CRC.

OBJECTIVE To mine and analyze the adverse drug events (ADE) signals of two camptothecin topoisomerase 1 inhibitors, i.e. irinotecan and topotecan, and to provide reference for clinical medication safety. METHODS Based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, ADE report data for the aforementioned two drugs were extracted from January 1, 2004 to March 31, 2023. After processing the data, signal mining was conducted by using the reporting odds ratio in conjunction with the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network, followed by analysis. RESULTS A total of 14 738 relevant ADE reports were screened, among which 11 483 were associated with irinotecan and 3 255 with topotecan. The ADE reports for irinotecan were predominantly male, whereas for topotecan, they were predominantly female; the age of patients using the two drugs mainly concentrated in 45-<75 years old. A total of 847 signals were detected, involving 24 system organ classes (SOCs). Among them, 565 signals of irinotecan were detected, involving 24 SOCs, primarily concentrating on gastrointestinal disorders, general disorders and administration site conditions, blood and lymphatic system disorders; the most frequently reported ADE was diarrhea, and the ADE with the strongest signal intensity was cholinergic syndrome. A total of 282 signals of topotecan were detected, involving 22 SOCs, primarily concentrating on general disorders and administration site conditions, investigations, blood and lymphatic system disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders; the most frequently reported ADEs were death and anemia, and the ADE with the strongest signal intensity was febrile bone marrow aplasia. ADE signals for irinotecan such as metastatic colorectal cancer, peripheral sensory neuropathy, steatohepatitis, and those for topotecan such as iris atrophy, retinal degeneration, vitreous hemorrhage, were not documented in their respective drug instruction. CONCLUSIONS ADEs of irinotecan and topotecan primarily involve the digestive and hematologic systems, warranting close clinical monitoring. Cholinergic syndrome caused by irinotecan should be concerned. In addition, patients receiving irinotecan should also be monitored for ADE such as metastatic colorectal cancer, peripheral sensory neuropathy, steatohepatitis, and proteinuria; for patients using topotecan, enhanced surveillance of ocular diseases is recommended to ensure medication safety.

Objective:To discuss the differences in eosinophil(EOS)infiltration in cervical tissue and its relationship with cervical-related diseases,and to clarify the effect of EOS on the occurrence and development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)and cervical cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 256 patients with cervical diseases were collected and divided into cervical cancer group(n=46,including 26 cases of squamous cell carcinoma,15 cases of adenocarcinoma,and 5 cases of adenosquamous carcinoma),chronic cervicitis group(n=50),CIN stage Ⅰ group(n=50),CIN stage Ⅱ group(n=50),CIN stage Ⅲ group(n=30),and normal group(adjacent normal cervical tissue,n=30)based on their conditions.Colposcopy was used to observe the morphology of cervical tissue of the patients in various groups;thin-layer liquid-based cytology test(TCT)was used to observe the morphology of the cervical exfoliated cells in various groups;hybrid capture-chemiluminescence method was used to detect the human papillomavirus(HPV)infection in cervical tissue of the patients in various groups;HE staining was used to observe the pathomorphology of cervical tissue of the patients in various groups;Congo red staining was used to detect the numbers of EOS infiltration in cervical tissue of the patients in various groups;Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the number of EOS infiltration and the malignancy degree of cervical cancer.Results:The cervical surface of the patients in normal group was smooth and pink,with uniformly distributed capillaries;the cervical surface of the patients in chronic cervicitis group showed red inflammatory changes,with some accompanied by Nabothian cysts and varying degrees of erosion and ulcers;the patients in CIN stage Ⅰ,CIN stage Ⅱ,and CIN stage Ⅲ groups showed epithelial ulcers,thickening,and irregular morphology,with mosaic and punctate vessels;the cervical surface of the patients in cervical cancer group showed raised areas with neoplasms and necrotic ulcers,and they were fragile and prone to bleeding.After acetic acid staining,no obvious changes of the patients in normal group were observed.The cervix of the patients in chronic cervicitis group showed slight white changes that lasted for a short time;in CIN stage Ⅰ,CIN stage Ⅱ,and CIN stage Ⅲ groups,irregular thin acetowhite epithelium with map-like borders was observed,with increasingly acetowhite reactions and larger areas as the stages advanced.The cervix of the patients in cervical cancer group showed thick acetowhite epithelium that lasted longer,with rigid and clear contours.After iodine staining,the cervix of the patients in normal group was brown,with uniform coloration;the cervix of the patients in chronic cervicitis group showed poor coloration in inflammatory lesion areas;the cervix of the patients in CIN stage Ⅰ group showed iodine coloration in metaplastic areas,while the cervix of the patients in CIN stage Ⅲ group showed poor coloration in larger lesion areas;the cervix of the patients in cervical cancer group showed irregular surfaces with cauliflower-like growth and no coloration after iodine staining,appearing orange-yellow or mustard yellow.The TCT observation results showed there were no heteromorphic cells and few inflammatory cells in cervical exfoliated cells of the patients in infiltration in normal group;there were numerous neutrophils and EOS in exfoliated cervical cells without heteromorphic cells in chronic cervicitis group.The heteromorphic binucleated cells with high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratios and deeply stained nuclei were observed in cervical exfoliated cells of the patients in CIN stage Ⅰ and CIN stage Ⅱ groups.More heteromorphic cells with high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratios and irregular nuclear membranes were showed in cervical exfoliated cells of the patients in CIN stage Ⅲ group.The cervical exfoliated cells of the patients in cervical cancer group showed large and prominent nucleoli,clustering into syncytial changes.Compared with normal group,the atypial of cervical exfoliated cells in CIN stage Ⅰ,CIN stage Ⅱ,CIN stage Ⅲ,and cervical cancer groups was increased.The hybrid capture-chemiluminescence results showed that compared with normal and chronic cervicitis groups,the numbers of HPV infection and TCT heteromorphic cells of the patients in CIN stage Ⅰ,CIN stage Ⅱ,and CIN stage Ⅲ groups were increased(P<0.05);compared with CIN stage Ⅰ,CIN stage Ⅱ,and CIN stage Ⅲ groups,the numbers of HPV infection and TCT heteromorphic cells of the patients in cervical cancer group were increased(P<0.05).The HE staining results showed normal cell morphology and structure in normal group,with infiltration of inflammation cells such as neutrophils,monocytes,macrophages,EOS,and lymphocytes;in chronic cervicitis group,the infiltration of inflammatory cells was increased;in CIN group,the cervical cells showed slightly larger nucleoli and heteromorphic cells,with inflammatory cells mainly distributing around the hetermomorphic cells;in cervical cancer group,the cervical cells showed large and deeply stained nucleoli with significant atypia,and the infiltration of inflammatory cells around the cancer cells was increased.Compared with normal group,the numbers of inflammatory cells and EOS infiltration in cervical tissue of the patients in chronic cervicitis group were increased(P<0.05),and the numbers of inflammatory cells and EOS infiltration of the patients in CIN group were increased(P<0.05);compared with chronic cervicitis group,the number of inflammatory cells and EOS infiltration of the patients in CIN group were decreased(P<0.05);compared with chronic cervicitis group and CIN group,the numbers of inflammatory cells and EOS infiltration of the patients in cervical cancer group were increased(P<0.05).The EOS in cervical cancer tissue was mainly distributed around the cancer nests;compared with CIN stage Ⅰ group,the numbers of EOS infiltration in CIN stage Ⅱ and CIN stage Ⅲ groups were increased(P<0.05);compared with CIN stage Ⅱ group,the number of EOS infiltration in CIN stage Ⅲ group was increased(P<0.05).The higher the malignancy degree of the tumor,the more EOS infiltration was observed,and the number of EOS infiltration was positively correlated with the invasion depth of cervical cancer(r=0.533 0,P<0.01).Conclusion:HPV infection and EOS infiltration play a role in promoting the and occurrence development of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer.

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) results from continuous and heavy alcohol consumption. The current treatment strategy for ALD is based on alcohol withdrawal coupled with antioxidant drug intervention, which is a long process with poor efficacy and low patient compliance. Alcohol-induced CYP2E1 upregulation has been demonstrated as a key regulator of ALD, but CYP2E1 knockdown in humans was impractical, and pharmacological inhibition of CYP2E1 by a clinically relevant approach for treating ALD was not shown. In this study, we developed a RNAi therapeutics delivered by lipid nanoparticle, and treated mice fed on Lieber-DeCarli ethanol liquid diet weekly for up to 12 weeks. This RNAi-based inhibition of Cyp2e1 expression reduced reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress in mouse livers, and contributed to improved ALD symptoms in mice. The liver fat accumulation, hepatocyte inflammation, and fibrosis were reduced in ALD models. Therefore, this study suggested the feasibility of RNAi targeting to CYP2E1 as a potential therapeutic tool to the development of ALD.
