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.

This paper comprehensively discusses on the potential neurobiological mechanisms of acupuncture in the treatment of tobacco dependence, focusing on three important aspects, including acupuncture's regulation of tobacco dependence behavior, effects of acupuncture on withdrawal syndrome, and the role of acupuncture in preventing relapse. It is found that acupuncture can inhibit drug-seeking behavior by regulating the reward pathway and related neurons, such as dopamine, thus modulating tobacco dependence behavior. It also alleviates withdrawal symptoms by improving the oral environment of smokers and reducing negative emotions after quitting. Furthermore, acupuncture can prevent relapse by decreasing brain network activity related to smoking cravings and improving cognitive brain functions like addiction memory. Currently, research on the specific neurobiological mechanism of acupuncture in treating tobacco dependence and the involved neural circuits is limited. Future research directions are proposed, including the evaluation of clinical effects, exploration of specific therapeutic mechanisms, investigation of brain pathology, and strengthening the exploration of brain functions. Additionally, combining modern technologies to clarify the neural circuits involved in acupuncture intervention will provide a basis for acupuncture treatment of tobacco addiction.

A 11-year old female patient with severe thalassemia, receipt a lentivirus-based cell and gene therapy (CGT) therapy in Shenzhen Children′s Hosptial on July 27th, 2021. At the two follow-up visits after discharge, patient were continuously tested positive for HIV screening through HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay (chemiluminescence Immunoassay), and the viral load results of HIV-1 nucleic acid testing (NAT) were both>5 000 copies/ml. The patient can be diagnosed with HIV infection according to the National Guideline for Detection of HIV/AIDS(2020 Revised Edition). The thorough investigation findings and supplementary experiment results indicated that the false-positive HIV-1 NAT results was caused by cross-reactivity between the target sites detected by conventional HIV-1 NAT reagents and the lentiviral vectors fragments integrated into the genome of patient′s hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In conclusion, it is important for laboratories to select appropriate HIV-1 NAT testing platforms which won′t cause cross-reactivity for the testing of samples from patients who have been treated with HIV-derived vectors. It is also recommended to design and develop NAT testing platforms with multiple target regions labeled by different fluorescents for HIV NAT supplementation experiment to reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses of HIV infection.

Objective:To investigate the effect of preoperative old muscular calf vein thrombosis on the safety and efficacy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 411 patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis who underwent primary TKA in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 89 males and 322 females, aged 68.05±5.91 years (range, 50-82 years). The body mass index was 26.8±3.7 kg/m 2 (range, 17.4-39.8 kg/m 2). The group was divided into a preoperative thrombosis group (47 cases) and a preoperative none-thrombosis group (364 cases) according to whether or not there was a combination of old muscular calf vein thrombosis before TKA. The clinical characteristics (location and size) and lower limb swelling were observed, and the American Knee Society (AKS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Villalta score were recorded to compare the differences between the two groups. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 7.4±1.1 months (range, 6-9 months). Postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) occurred in 96% (45/47) of the patients in the preoperative thrombus group, which was greater than the 38.5% (140/364) in the preoperative none-thrombus group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=55.184, P<0.001). 29% (13/45) of the patients who developed DVT postoperatively in the preoperative thrombus group had DVT located in the main vein, which was greater than the 9% (12/140) in the preoperative none-thrombus group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=12.028, P<0.001). 51% (23/45) of patients with DVT after operation had thrombosis ≥6 mm, which was higher than 34% (47/140) of patients in the preoperative none-thrombus group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.454, P=0.035). The rate of thigh swelling on postoperative day 3 was 8.42%±3.50% in the group with preoperative thrombus and 7.80%±4.12% in the preoperative none-thrombus group, and the differences were not statistically significant ( t=-0.995, P=0.320). The rate of calf swelling on postoperative day 3 was 8.14%±3.40% in the preoperative thrombus group, which was greater than the 5.51%±3.45% in the preoperative none-thrombus group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-4.923, P<0.001). Postoperative AKS scores were elevated in both groups and were greater than preoperative scores at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in AKS score between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05), and the AKS scores in the preoperative thrombus group were smaller than those in the preoperative none-thrombus group at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Postoperative VAS scores were reduced in both groups and were smaller than preoperative scores at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in preoperative VAS scores between the two groups ( P<0.05), and the VAS scores in the preoperative thrombus group were greater than those in the preoperative none-thrombus group at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The Villalta score of patients with DVT after operation in the preoperative thrombus group was 4.47±2.47 at the last follow-up, which was greater than that of the preoperative none-thrombus group, which was 2.90±1.92, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-4.395, P<0.001). Conclusion:Preoperative combined old muscular calf vein thrombosis increases the incidence of postoperative DVT and the dangerousness of DVT is higher.

Objective:The treatment of head and neck in plexiform neurofibroma (PNF) is a major clinical problem, lacking consensus on surgical treatment, classification, operation timing, and treatment method. The purpose of this study was to provide a basis for further consensus formation by analyzing the clinical manifestations, surgical conditions, tumor recurrence, post-operation satisfaction, and changes in quality of life of patients undergoing PNF surgery in head and neck.Methods:Through medical record review and telephone follow-up, a retrospective analysis was conducted on neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients admitted for surgical treatment for PNF patient in head and neck from May 2012 to July 2022 in Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Complete collection and statistical analysis of patients’clinical data, using telephone follow-up to investigate the immediate postoperative satisfaction and long-term surgical satisfaction of patients and/or their families, as well as standardized quality of life questionnaires HRQol(health related quality of life) and PlexiQol(plexiform neurofibroma quality of life). Based on the data about changes in quality of life before and after surgery and long-term surgical satisfaction, patients were divided into surgical benefit and non-benefit groups. Binary and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with long-term surgical benefit.Results:Totally 512 patients with head and neck NF1 were admitted for surgery with complete medical records. 121 patients were identified as NF1 related PNF diagnosed by medical history and radiological examination, and effective follow-up was obtained. There were 70 males and 51 females, aged (25.60±12.85) years old, ranging from 7 to 63 years old, with 41 patients who were ≤ 18 years old and 80 patients over 18 years old. 62.81%(76/121) of patients exhibiting clinical dysfunctions, and the tumor mass were mainly characterized by invasive growth. 41.32%(50/121) of patients underwent multiple surgical treatments, with a total of 215 surgeries performed on 121 patients. The surgical objective included appearance improvement and functional repair. The incidence of postoperative complications was 6.05%(13/215). The follow-up period after last operation was (51.41±27.66) months, and 42.15%(51/121) of patients reported postoperative tumor recurrence. 76.03%(92/121) of patients were satisfied with immediate postoperative result, while the rate decreased to 46.28%(56/121) during long-term follow-up. Family members of patients who were ≤ 18 years old had a higher proportion of dissatisfaction with the scars caused by surgery and a stronger willingness to undergo another surgery. The tumor recurrence was closely related to surgical benefits ( OR=2.32, P<0.05). Further analysis found that the gender and age of patients were the main risk factors for the recurrence. The recurrence risk in patients ≤ 18 years old was significantly higher than in that over 18 years old( OR=3.49, P=0.004), and the highest in the 7-12 year-old group, reaching 68.42%(13/19). The recurrence risk in male patients was significantly lower than that in females ( OR=0.40, P=0.026). Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of PNF patients in head and neck region are complex. Clinical diagnosis and treatment in PNF should focus on the applications in comprehensive method such as full preoperative evaluation, active multi-disciplinary treatment cooperation and combined therapies in order to improve the safety and effectiveness of treatment and reduce tumor recurrence.
