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.

The accumulation of uremic toxins such as urea nitrogen, blood creatinine, and uric acid of patients with renal failure in vivo would lead to aggravated kidney damage. In this study, coated aldehyde oxy-starch (CAO) was used as an adsorbent to investigate its in vitro adsorption performance on renal failure indexes for urea, indoxyl sulfate (INS), monomethylamine (MMA), dimethylamine (DMA), uric acid (UA), and creatinine (Cr). The effects of variables such as pH, temperature, concentration, dosage, and time on the adsorption capacity of CAO were systematically investigated, employing analytical techniques of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC). The results revealed that CAO exhibited a strong adsorption capacity for urea, INS, and MMA, alongside a moderate adsorption capacity for DMA, UA, and Cr. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption of urea and UA by CAO were fitted in pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the adsorption isotherm aligned with the Freundlich adsorption model. The enthalpy change ΔH of urea in adsorption was in the range of 40 to 60 kJ·mol^-1, which demonstrated the presence of strong adsorption force due to the interactions of coordinating groups. The ΔH of UA was greater than 80 kJ·mol^-1, indicating the generation of chemical bonds during the adsorption. Both of them, Gibbs free energy ΔG was less than 0, within the range of -20 to 0 kJ·mol^-1, suggested that the adsorption of urea and UA by CAO occurred spontaneously as physical adsorption process. The adsorption entropy ΔS of urea and UA was > 0, which indicated an increase in entropy throughout the adsorption. The infrared spectroscopygram showed the formation of a chemical bond, specifically the imine bond, following the adsorption of urea by CAO, thereby indicating a chemical reaction during the adsorption. This study elucidates the adsorption mechanism of CAO on various indexes of renal failure, providing a scientific basis for its clinical usage.

OBJECTIVE To study the improvement effect and mechanism of Shengmai powder on heart failure （HF） mice with qi-yin deficiency. METHODS The mice were randomly divided into blank group （water）， model group （water）， Shengmai powder low-， medium-， and high-dose groups [2.61， 5.22 and 10.44 g/kg （based on crude drug dosage）] and positive control group （metoprolol， 30 mg/kg）， with 10 mice in each group. Except for the blank group， all other groups were subcutaneously injected with D-galactose， and a qi-yin deficiency HF mice model was established by continuous food restriction and weight-bearing swimming. At the same time of modeling， the corresponding medicine/water was gavaged once a day for five weeks. The general state of mice was recorded and the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score was evaluated. Behavioral experiments were conducted to investigate the total distance of open field action， the percentage of immobility time， and the swimming exhaustion time of mice. The contents of aspartate transaminase （AST）， creatine kinase （CK） and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） in the serum of mice were detected； cardiac function indexes [heart rate， left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， left ventricular end systolic diameter （LVESD）， left ventricular end diastolic diameter （LVEDD）， left ventricular mass index and whole heart mass index] were all detected； the histopathological morphology of mice myocardium was observed； the level of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in mice was detected； mRNA expression levels of B-cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）， and Cleaved-caspase-3 in myocardial tissue of mice were detected； the phosphorylation levels of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium regulatory related proteins [ryanodine receptor 2 （RyR2） and phospholamban （PLB）] in myocardial tissue of mice were detected. RESULTS Compared with the blank group， the body weight， total distance of open field action， swimming exhaustion time， LVEF， LVEDD， Bcl-2 mRNA expression level in myocardial tissue and PLB protein phosphorylation level in the model group were significantly reduced/shortened （P＜0.05）； TCM syndrome score， the percentage of immobility time， heart rate， LVESD， left ventricular mass index， whole heart mass index， cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate， the contents of CK， LDH and AST in serum， mRNA expression levels of Cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax and the phosphorylation level of RyR2 protein in myocardial tissue were significantly increased （P＜0.05）； there were inflammatory cell infiltration， disordered cell arrangement and obvious myocardial interstitial fibrosis in myocardial tissue. After the intervention of Shengmai powder， most of the above quantitative indexes in mice were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）， the inflammatory cell infiltration in myocardial tissue was reduced， and the degree of fibrosis was significantly reduced. CONCLUSIONS Shengmai powder can improve cardiac function， reduce the level of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and myocardial fibrosis in HF mice with qi-yin deficiency. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the expression of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium regulation related proteins.

The Resnet 50 model based on the original images was established as a control.Results:The ten-fold crossover validation results showed that the MTL-1 024, MTL-64, and MTL-all models showed better performance in terms of area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity compared to the Resnet 50 model. In the classification task, the MTL-64 model showed the best performance in terms of AUC (0.942 1), while the MTL-all model reached the highest value in terms of accuracy (0.852 2). In the segmentation task, the MTL-64 model achieved the best results with the Dice coefficient (0.879 7). The confusion matrix plot showed that the MTL model outperforms the Resnet 50 model based on the original image in terms of overall performance. The ROC graphs of all MTL models were significantly higher than the original image input Resnet 50 model.Conclusions:Multi-task learning-based native T1 mapping images are effective for automatic classification of HHD and HCM.

AIM To investigate the renoprotective effects and mechanism of Caragana sinica roots,Astragali Radix and their combination use on the rat model of diabetic kidney disease(DKD).METHODS Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group,the model group,the Empagliflozin group(10 mg/kg),the C.sinica roots group(3.1 g/kg),the Astragali Radix group(3.1 g/kg),and the C.sinica roots plus Astragali Radix group(6.2 g/kg).In contrast to the intact rats of the normal group,rats of the other groups underwent left nephrectomy and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ)followed by 8-week intragastric gavage of the corresponding agent,during which their levels of FBG and 24 h urinary microprotein(24 h U-mAlb)were detected regularly.The rats killed at the end of the trial had their levels of Scr,BUN and Cystatin C detected;their renal pathological changes observed by HE,PAS and Masson stainings;their expressions of macrophage marker proteins CD68 and iNOS detected by immunohistochemistry;their expressions of renal JNK/SAPK pathway proteins such as JNK,p-JNK,TNF-α,IL-1β and ICAM-1 detected by Western blot;and their serum levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and ICAM-1 detected by ELISA as well.RESULTS Compared with the normal group,the model group displayed increased levels of FBG,24 h U-mAlb,BUN,Scr and Cystatin C(P＜0.01);more renal pathological damage,and increased levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and ICAM-1 in the renal tissue and serum(P＜0.01);and increased renal protein expressions of JNK and p-JNK(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,all of the groups intervened with an agent shared decreased levels of FBG,24 h U-mAlb,BUN,Scr and Cystatin C(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);alleviated renal pathological damage,and decreased levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and ICAM-1 in renal tissue and serum(P＜0.01).There existed no group difference between the Astragali Radix group and the C.sinica roots group in terms of all indices levels(P＞0.05).The C.sinica roots plus Astragali Radix group demonstrated its superiority over either C.sinica roots group or Astragali Radix group in terms of all the indices levels(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION C.sinica roots,Astragali Radix or their combination use can alleviate the renal pathological damage and improve the renal function of DKD rats through inhibiting the M1 macrophages,reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors,whose mechanism may lie in the inhibition of JNK/SAPK signal pathway activation.A better effect can be anticipated by the combination use of C.sinica roots and Astragali Radix.

AIM To investigate the impact of the combination use of Caragana sinica Radix and Astragali Radix on a rat model of diabetic kidney disease(DKD).METHODS The SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group,the model group,the Engelgin group,the Caragana sinica Radix group,the Astragali Radix group and the Caragana sinica Radix-Astragali Radix compatibility group,with 10 rats in each group.Following the successful establishment of a DKD model by unilateral amputate renal combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ),the corresponding gastric gavage of drugs were administered for 8 weeks.The rats had their 24 h urinary microalbumin(24 h U-mALB)detected at 0,4 and 8 weeks;their levels of Scr,BUN,CysC,MDA and SOD activity detected by ELISA;their renal ROS expression detected by fluorescence probe method;their renal pathological changes observed by HE,PAS,Masson and PASM-Masson staining;their renal expressions of NOX4,Drp1,MFN2 and P62 detected by immunohistochemistry;and their renal expressions of PINK1,MFN2,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,P62 and p-Drp1 proteins detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the model group,each treatment group displayed lower contents of 24 h U-mALB,BUN,Scr and CysC in the serum of rats(P＜0.01);reduced pathological structure damage of the renal tissue;decreased MDA level in serum and kidney(P＜0.01);increased SOD activity(P＜0.01);increased renal protein expressions of PINK1,MFN2,Parkin and LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and decreased protein expressions of p-Drp1 and P62(P＜0.01).And the Astragali Radix group and the Caragana sinica Radix-Astragali Radix compatibility group took the lead(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Upon the rat model of DKD,the compatibility of Caragana sinica Radix and Astragali Radix may alleviate their renal pathological damage and improve their renal function by activating the mitochondrial autophagy to improve mitochondrial dynamics and inhibit their oxidative stress via PINK1/MFN2/Parkin pathway.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of nerve-carrying peroneal artery perforator flaps in repairing nerve defects in the late stage of wrist electric burns.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From December 2019 to May 2023, five patients with sensory dysfunction in hands due to nerve defects in the late stage of wrist electric burns were treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University and met the inclusion criteria. There were 4 males and 1 female, aged 7 to 48 years. Four patients had defects in both median nerve and ulnar nerve, one patient had a defect solely in median nerve, and the length of nerve defects ranged from 5 to 12 cm. Four patients underwent transplantation of peroneal artery perforator flaps carrying sural nerve and superficial peroneal nerve, and 1 patient underwent transplantation of peroneal artery perforator flap only carrying sural nerve. The wounds in flap donor sites were all directly sutured. One patient had tendon adhesion and release of tendon adhesion was performed during the same surgery; 3 patients had combined defects in the wrist flexor muscle group, including 2 patients received autologous tendon grafting during the same surgery, and one patient received reconstruction of finger flexion function with a gracilis myocutaneous flap in the second stage; 1 patient had combined wrist flexion contracture which was surgically released in the second stage. During follow-up after surgery, the survival of the flaps was observed, and the healing time of the incisions or sutures in flap donor and recipient sites and the recovery time of hand sensation were recorded. At the last follow-up, the scar formation and loss of sensation in the foot were observed, and flexor strength and sensory function of the fingers were evaluated based on the evaluation criteria for tendon and nerve repair standards of hands in the trial standards for evaluation of partial function of the upper extremity by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association.Results:All patients were followed up after surgery for 12 to 24 months, and all flaps of patients survived. The healing time for the incisions or sutures in flap donor and recipient sites was about 2 weeks, and the hand sensation recovered in 6 months after surgery. At the last follow-up, linear scar was left in the donor site on the lower leg; patients had partial sensory impairment on the dorsum of the foot, but there was no skin ulceration, which did not affect wearing shoes or walking; finger flexor strength was rated as grade 4 in 1 patient, grade 3 in 3 patients, and grade 2 in 1 patient; the sensory function of hands was evaluated as S3 + level in 4 patients, with the two-point discrimination distance of the skin ranging from 8 to 11 mm, while the sensory function of hands was evaluated as S3 level in 1 patient, with the two-point discrimination distance of the skin of 13 mm. Conclusions:Using the nerve-carrying peroneal artery perforator flaps to repair the nerve defects in the late stage of wrist electric burns, the sensation of hands can be restored in 6 months after surgery, with only linear scar in the flap donor sites and hypoesthesia in some areas of the dorsum of the foot. When combined with the reconstruction of finger flexion function, the overall function of hands can be effectively improved.
