To evaluate the clinical value of nebulized indocyanine green(ICG) combined with near-infrared fluorescence imaging for intraoperative detection of air leaks during pulmonary resection. This was a two-center randomized controlled trial enrolling patients undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. After enrollment, patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received nebulized ICG and fluorescence imaging in addition to the conventional water immersion test, while the control group underwent the water immersion test alone. Intraoperative air leak detection and postoperative air leak incidence were compared between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between ICG nebulization intervention and postoperative air leaks after adjusting for confounding factors including age, sex, smoking history, history of respiratory disease, surgical procedure, and study center. A total of 181 patients were enrolled(90 in the experimental group, 91 in the control group). The experimental group showed significantly higher intraoperative air leak detection rate(37.8% Nebulized ICG combined with near-infrared fluorescence imaging significantly improves intraoperative detection of air leaks, reduces the incidence of postoperative air leaks, and shortens chest tube duration. This technique is convenient, safe, and holds important clinical value for application.

Patients with lung cancer experience a heavy symptom burden during the perioperative period, which seriously affects their recovery and quality of life. Traditional symptom management models rely mainly on scheduled ward rounds during hospitalization and outpatient follow-up after discharge. However, they have limitations such as delayed symptom recognition, lack of post-discharge monitoring, and non-quantitative symptom assessment, which often lead to delayed interventions and low patient satisfaction. In recent years, the symptom management model based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) has been increasingly valued in clinical practice. Existing high-level evidence from both domestic and international studies indicates that, through proactive monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote interventions, this model enables dynamic and continuous symptom management and helps improve patient recovery and healthcare experience. As a supplement to routine medical care, the ePRO-based symptom management model aims to enhance the quality of care rather than replace existing medical processes. To promote the standardized application of this model in perioperative lung cancer care, this consensus integrates domestic and international evidence. After multiple rounds of voting by more than 50 experts, it formulates 12 consensus statements covering the three core components, symptom monitoring, alerting, and intervention, to provide scientific and practical recommendations for clinical practice.

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 analyze the evolutionary characteristics and genetic variations of the HA (hemagglutinin) and NA (neuraminidase) genes of influenza A(H1N1) viruses in Shanghai during 2024, to investigate their transmission patterns, and to evaluate their potential impact on vaccine effectiveness. MethodsFrom January to October 2024, throat swab specimens were collected from influenza like illness (ILI) patients at 4 hospitals in Shanghai. Real-time fluorescence ploymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for virus detection and isolation of H1N1 influenza viruses. Forty influenza A(H1N1) virus strains were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, followed by phylogenetic analyses, genetic distance analysis, and amino acid variation analyses of HA and NA genes. ResultsPhylogenetic tree of the HA and NA genes revealed that the 40 influenza A(H1N1) virus strains circulating in Shanghai in 2024 exhibited no significant geographic clustering, with a broad origin of strains and complex transmission chains. Genetic distance analyses demonstrated that the average intra-group genetic distances of HA and NA genes among the Shanghai strains were 0.005 1±0.000 6 and 0.004 6±0.000 6, respectively, which were comparable to or higher than those observed in global surveillance strains. Both HA and NA genes displayed frequent mutations. Compared to the 2023‒2024 and 2024‒2025 Northern Hemisphere A(H1N1) vaccine strains (WHO-recommended), the HA proteins of 40 Shanghai strains exhibited amino acid substitutions at positions 120, 137, 142, 169, 216, 223, 260, 277, 356 and 451, with critical mutations at positions 137 and 142 located within the Ca2 antigenic determinant. Furthermore, mutations in the NA protein were observed at positions 13, 50, 200, 257, 264, 339 and 382. ConclusionThe genetic background of the 2024 Shanghai influenza A(H1N1) virus strains is complex and diverse, and antigenic variation may affect vaccine effectiveness. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance genomic surveillance of influenza viruses, evaluate vaccine suitability, and implement more targeted prevention and control strategies against imported influenza viruses.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of atezolizumab combined with anlotinib in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) .Methods:A total of 80 patients with advanced NSCLC treated in the Baoding No.2 Central Hospital from September 2019 to September 2023 after second-line treatment were selected as research subjects. Patients who received only anlotinib treatment were included in the monotherapy group ( n=40), while patients who received atezolizumab combined with anlotinib treatment were included in the combination group ( n=40). The clinical efficacy and serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of the two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the survival of the two groups. The functional assessment of cancer therapy-lung cancer (FACT-L) was used to assess the quality of life of patients in both groups before and after treatment. The incidence of adverse reactions was compared between the two groups. Results:After four cycles of treatment, the objective response rate (ORR) of the combination group was 37.50% (15/40), which was higher than that of the monotherapy group [17.50% (7/40) ], with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.01, P=0.045). The disease control rates (DCRs) of the two groups were 85.00% (34/40) and 75.00% (30/40), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=1.25, P=0.264). Before treatment, the CEA levels in combination group and monotherapy group were (10.18±2.15) and (10.14±2.02) μg/L, and the VEGF levels were (804.04±46.58) and (809.10±43.63) ng/L, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (both P>0.05). After treatment, the serum CEA levels of patients in combination group and monotherapy group were (4.35±1.05) and (6.63±1.37) μg/L, and the VEGF levels were (431.26±50.19) and (549.92±55.27) ng/L, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=8.35, P<0.001; t=10.05, P<0.001), and the levels of serum CEA and VEGF in the two groups after treatment were lower than before treatment ( t=32.47, P<0.001; t=21.73, P<0.001; t=88.65, P<0.001; t=58.27, P<0.001). Survival analysis showed that the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the monotherapy group and the combination group were 4.12 and 6.06 months, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=17.70, P<0.001), the median overall survival (OS) were 11.8 and 12.7 months, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=3.09, P=0.079). Before treatment, the FACT-L scores of patients in combination group and monotherapy group were 61.20±6.98 and 60.52±7.14, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=0.43, P=0.668). After treatment, the FACT-L scores of the two groups were 83.24±9.38 and 74.58±7.86, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=4.48, P<0.001), and the FACT-L scores of the two groups after treatment were all higher than before treatment ( t=29.36, P<0.001; t=21.51, P<0.001). During treatment, the total incidence of drug-related adverse reactions in two groups was 42.50% (17/40) and 55.00% (22/40), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=1.25, P=0.263) . Conclusions:Atezolizumab combined with anlotinib in the treatment of advanced NSCLC can enhance the short-term efficacy, prolong the PFS of patients, improve the quality of life, and the related adverse reactions are tolerable.

Objective To investigate the value of artificial intelligence-assisted compressed sensing (ACS) technology for intravenous gadolinium contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the inner ear using three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) sequence. Methods The patients received gadolinium contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging using ACS and united compressed sensing (uCS) 3D-FLAIR at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January to November 2024 were prospectively enrolled. The repetition time was 16 000 ms, and acquisition time was 6 min 40 s and 10 min 24 s in ACS 3D-FLAIR and uCS 3D-FLAIR, respectively. The images on the two sequences were evaluated independently by two radiologists. The image quality of the two sequences was subjectively evaluated and compared. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were compared between the two sequences. The grading consistencies using two sequences and between the two doctors were analyzed. Results There was no statistically difference in subjective score of image quality between the two sequences. SNR and CNR of the ACS 3D-FLAIR sequence were significantly higher than those of the uCS 3D-FLAIR sequence (P<0.001). The kappa values of grades of cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops were 0.942 and 0.888 using two sequences (P<0.001). The kappa values of grades of cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops using the ACS 3D-FLAIR sequence between the two doctors were 0.784 and 0.831, respectively (P<0.001); the kappa values of grades of cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops using uCS 3D-FLAIR sequence between the two doctors were 0.725 and 0.756, respectively (P<0.001). Conclusions ACS 3D-FLAIR could provide higher SNR and CNR than uCS 3D-FLAIR, and is more suitable for intravenous gadolinium contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the inner ear; the endolymphatic hydrops grades using ACS 3D-FLAIR is similar to use uCS 3D-FLAIR.

Aim To explore the mechanism of the syn-ergistic effect of the ferroptosis inducer erastin com-bined with shikonin in promoting ferroptosis in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts(HSFBs).Methods Hypertrophic scar tissues provided by the General Hos-pital of Ningxia Medical University were collected,and HSFBs were extracted.HSFBs were identified by HE staining and immunofluorescence.The inhibitory rates of Era and SHK on HSFBs at different concentrations were detected by CCK-8 assay,and the IC50 value was calculated.CompuSyn software was used to calculate the co-use index(CI).Control group,Erastin(Era)group,shikonin(SHK)group and Era+SHK group were set up,and the number and morphological chan-ges of cells were observed after 24 hours of interven-tion.The ability of cell migration and invasion was de-tected by scratch test and Transwell test.The changes of malondialdehyde(MDA),total iron ion and reactive oxygen species(ROS)were detected by corresponding biochemical kits.The expressions of collagen I,α-SMA and GOT1,SLC7A11,GPX4 and FTH1 were detected by Western blot.Results The IC50 value of Era and SHK of primary HSFBs was 2.22 μmol·L-1 and 3.94μmol·L-1 respectively,which was used as the single drug concentration for subsequent experiments.The CompuSyn software was employed to calculate the CI value when the two drugs were used in combination,and the concentrations corresponding to CI=0.39597(Era:1.2 μmol·L-1+SHK:1.5 μmol·L-1)were selected as subsequent combination concentrations(Because when CI was equal to 0.395 97,the concen-tration of each drug was lower than the concentration of single drug,and the inhibition rate of combined drug was greater than 50%).Compared with the monother-apy group,the number of HSFBs in the SHK+Era group was significantly reduced,cell membrane showed breakage and vesiculation,cell wrinkling became smal-ler,and cytoplasm was concentrated.The migration and invasion ability of HSFBs in the SHK+Era group were obviously weakened(P<0.05),and the expres-sion of fibrosis-related proteins collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA was reduced(P<0.05);the contents of MDA,total i-ron ions,and ROS in HSFBs of the SHK+Era group increased(P<0.05),and the protein expression lev-els of SLC7A11,GOT1,GPX4,and FTH1 further de-creased(P<0.05).Conclusions Erastin in combi-nation with shikonin can synergistically inhibit the pro-liferation,migration and fibrosis levels of HSFBs.The mechanism may be that erastin enhances the inhibition of shikotin on GOT1,increases the levels of cellular i-ron ions,ROS,and lipid peroxides,thereby promoting ferroptosis in HSFBs.

Objective:To explore the role of long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) CCDC18-AS1 in parathyroid carcinoma(PC) diagnosis.Methods:This cross-sectional study included 55 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism treated at Beijing Shijitan Hospital from 2013 to 2024. Of these, 12 patients were diagnosed with PC and 43 with parathyroid adenoma(PA). Tissue samples and clinical data were collected, and lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 expression were measured using real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).Results:LncRNA CCDC18-AS1 expression was significantly higher in the PC group than that in the PA group( P=0.003). It was identified as an independent risk factor for PC, independent of age, sex, or serum calcium levels. Among patients with hypophosphatemia, no significant differences in lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 expression was observed between the PC and PA groups. However, in patients with normal serum phosphate levels, lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 expression was significantly higher in the PC group( P<0.001) and showed a positive correlation with serum phosphorus concentration( P=0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve(AUC) for lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 in PC diagnosis was 0.758(95% CI 0.620-0.866, P=0.005), comparable to that of lncRNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1(PVT1). Among patients with normal serum phosphate, the AUC for lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 increased to 0.969(95% CI 0.835-0.999, P<0.001), with 100% sensitivity and 92.31% specificity, suggesting superior diagnostic performance compared to PVT1(0.840, 95% CI 0.653-0.950, P=0.001). Conclusions:LncRNA CCDC18-AS1 may serves as a potential biomarker for PC diagnosis, with greater diagnostic value in patients with normal serum phosphorus levels.
