Objective To analyze the effect of releasing the lower pulmonary ligament on right residual lung expansion after right upper lobe resection under different body mass index (BMI) levels. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent thoracoscopic right upper lobe resection in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University from 2021 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a group A (17 kg/m2＜BMI≤23 kg/m2), a group B (23 kg/m2＜BMI≤29 kg/m2) and a group C (BMI＞29 kg/m2) according to BMI. The presence of residual cavity was judged by chest X-ray at 7-10 days after operation, the degree of compensation change of the right main bronchus angle was measured, and the changes in lung volume were determined by CT three-dimensional reconstruction. Results A total of 157 patients who underwent thoracoscopic right upper lobe resection were included, including 71 males and 86 females, with an average age of (59.7±11.2) years. There were 50 patients in the group A, 75 patients in the group B, and 32 patients in the group C. In the group A, compared with those without releasing the lower pulmonary ligament, patients with releasing had a lower incidence of postoperative residual cavity (P=0.016), greater changes in bronchus angle (P<0.001), and smaller changes in lung volume (P<0.001). In the group B and C, there was no significant effect of releasing the lower pulmonary ligament on postoperative residual cavity, bronchus angle, and lung volume changes (P>0.05). Conclusion For patients with thin and long body shape and low BMI, releasing the lower pulmonary ligament is helpful to promote the expansion of the residual lung after right upper lobe resection and reduce the occurrence of postoperative residual cavity in patients.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Ig class switch recombination(CSR)and mismatch repair(MMR)protein,microsatellite phenotype in extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT lymphoma).Methods:Forty cases of MALT lymphoma archived in the Department of Pathology,Jiading District Central Hospital,Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences were selected as the observation group,and twenty cases of benign lymphoid tissue hyperplasia were as the control group.The expressions of IgG,IgM,IgD,and IgA in both groups were detected by immunohistochemical double staining,and MMR proteins including MLH1,MSH2,MSH6,and PMS2 in both groups were detected by immunohistochemistry.Multiplex fluorescence PCR capillary electrophoresis was used to detect microsatellite phenotype in tumor and adjacent tissues of the experimental group.Results:In the observation group,the proportions of single Ig heavy chain expression(mode Ⅰ),negative expression(mode Ⅱ),and multiple expression(mode Ⅲ)were 65％(26/40),27.5％(11/40),and 7.5％(3/40),respectively,while in the control group were 0(0/20),5％(1/20),and 95％(19/20).The proportion of Ig heavy chain expression mode Ⅰ+Ⅱ in the observation group was 92.5％,which was significantly higher than 5％in the control group(P＜0.0 1).In the observation group,partial deletion of MMR protein was observed in 3 cases(7.5％),including 2 cases of MSH6 deletion and 1 case of both MSH6 and PMS2 deletion.In the control group,there was 1 case(5％)with PMS2 deletion.There was no significant difference in the deletion rate of MMR protein between the two groups(P＞0.05).A total of 5 cases of microsatellite instability(MSI)were detected in the observation group,including 1 case of low-frequency MSI(MSI-L),4 cases of high-frequency MSI(MSI-H),and 2 cases of MSI-H with MSH6 deletion.When the loss expression of MSI-H or MMR protein was counted as a positive result,the MSI-H rate detected by PCR capillary electrophoresis was 10％(4/40),which was slightly higher than the MMR protein deletion rate detected by immunohistochemistry(7.5％,3/40),but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The MMR protein deletion rates among the Ig heavy chain protein expression mode Ⅰ,mode Ⅱ,and mode Ⅲ groups were 0(0/26),18.2％(2/11),and 33.3％(1/3),respectively.There was a statistically significant difference in the constituent ratios among the three groups(P＜0.05).The MMR protein deletion rates among the MSS,MSI-L,and MSI-H groups were 2.9％(1/35),0(0/1),and 50％(2/4),respectively.There was a statistically significant difference in the constituent ratios among the three groups(P＜0.05).MMR protein deficiency was positively correlated with Ig heavy chain expression pattern and MSI(r=0.41,P＜0.05;r=0.48,P＜0.05),but Ig heavy chain expression pattern was not correlated with MSI(r=0.02,P＞0.05).Conclusion:Ig heavy chain CSR detection is helpful for the differential diagnosis of MALT lymphoma.Low frequency MMR protein deletion and MSI-H phenotype exist in MALT lymphoma,which may be of certain value for the study of its occurrence,development and clinical treatment.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between interleukin-10, albumin levels and short-term prognosis in patients with acute lung injury.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to collect data on 150 patients with acute lung injury admitted to the Fourth People′s Hospital of Longgang District, Shenzhen from January 2021 to December 2023. The short-term prognosis was evaluated based on the mortality rate within 28 d of admission, and the patients were divided into a mortality group 53 cases and a survival group 97 cases. General information, levels of interleukin-10 and albumin within 24 h of admission, and other laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups, with a focus on analyzing the correlation between interleukin-10, albumin levels and the short-term prognosis of patients.Results:Murray lung injury score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and levels of C-reactive protein, interleukin-10 in the mortality group were higher than those in the survival group: (2.27 ± 0.36) scores vs. (1.98 ± 0.28) scores, (22.72 ± 3.27) scores vs. (19.85 ± 3.12) scores, (106.27 ± 14.22) mg/L vs. (93.22 ± 15.27) mg/L, (51.75 ± 8.12) ng/L vs. (46.27 ± 9.47) ng/L, the levels of platelet and albumin were lower than those in the survival group: (186.67 ± 23.11) ×10 9/L vs. (203.25 ± 25.36) ×10 9/L, (27.86 ± 4.75) g/L vs. (32.21 ± 5.61) g/L, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the mortality risk of patients with acute lung injury was related to Murray lung injury score, APACHEⅡ score, platelet, C-reactive protein, interleukin-10 and albumin levels at admission ( P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis and interaction testing found that the mortality risk of patients with acute lung injury showed a non-linear dose-response relationship with serum interleukin-10 and albumin levels ( P<0.05), and the two had a negative interaction with the mortality risk of patients. The interleukin-10, albumin-assisted Murray lung injury score, APACHE Ⅱ score, platelet and C-reactive protein were used to construct a nomogram prediction model, and the decision curve and nomogram measurement model were drawn. The model has certain predictive value for the short-term risk of death in patients with acute lung injury. Conclusions:The short-term mortality risk in patients with acute lung injury may be related to abnormal levels of interleukin-10 and albumin, which can assist in the early screening of high-risk mortality patients and serve as clinical intervention targets.

Conclusions:The minimally invasive modified Bristow-Latarjet in the treatment of recurrent dislocation of the shoulder joint is superior to Bankart prosthesis in terms of shoulder functional recovery and postoperative rehabilitation.

Objective:To explore the training experiences of palliative care nurses participating in a prognosis disclosure workshop based on Kolb's experiential learning model, and to provide references for future educational programs in palliative care nursing.Methods:Using purposive sampling, 11 nurses were recruited who had participated in the "Palliative Care Competency Training Program for Nurses" in Shanghai between March and May 2025 and selected the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University as their clinical training site. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method.Results:A total of three major themes emerged: a sense of benefit from enhanced competencies; complex emotional experiences; recommendations for course optimisation.Conclusions:Workshops based on Kolb's experiential learning model offer positive value in palliative care education. They effectively improve core competencies such as communication and empathy. However, the emotional experiences of nurses must also be considered, and multifaceted optimizations to the training design are recommended to further enhance training outcomes.

Tracheobronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma （TACC） is a low-grade malignant tumor originating from the airway mucosa. Despite its slow progression，it is characterized by high invasiveness，frequent recurrence，and a strong tendency for metastasis. Preclinical studies have shown that vascular-targeted therapy holds significant potential. However，an effective systemic treatment for TACC has not been established yet. This study explored TACC from the perspective of "Feiji" in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） as the starting point. It deeply investigated the mechanisms of abnormal collaterals and tumor vascular recruitment and further elaborated on the theoretical connection between abnormal collaterals and tumor vascular recruitment. Firstly，collateral hyperactivity led to disordered and erratic pulmonary collaterals. Their abnormal structures were similar to the disorderly and tortuous nature of tumor （pseudo）angiogenesis. This resulted in imbalances in the functions of circulation，perfusion，and reverse injection of the pulmonary collaterals，and then led to unrestrained collateral dysfunction and the accumulation of pathogenic factors. Secondly，the remodeling of the extracellular matrix （ECM） and epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） in TACC were critical processes in vascular co-option （VCO），representing the micro-level manifestation of the displacement of nutrient and defense. During this process，ECM remodeling made TACC cells more likely to hijack normal blood vessels，creating a complex vascular microenvironment conducive to tumor growth. In terms of treatment，this study proposed a TCM strategy of "regulating collaterals to expel pathogenic factors and nourishing collaterals to strengthen the healthy Qi"，and listed potential TCM. These were intended to regulate the Qi and blood in the collaterals，repair the functions of abnormal collaterals，and intervene in the vascular recruitment process of TACC. Future research should focus on improving the TCM clinical syndrome characteristics of TACC. Through modern molecular biology techniques，it is necessary to deeply analyze the micro-level pattern of vascular recruitment in TACC. This would enrich the understanding of the profound connection between abnormal collaterals and tumor vascular recruitment，providing empirical evidence for TCM-targeted therapies for vascular recruitment in TACC.

Objective To analyze the results of ultrasonic examinations of hip joints in preterm infants,clarify the developmental characteristics of hip joints across different gestational ages.Meth-ods A total of 881 preterm infants who attended the Child Healthcare Outpatient Clinic of Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital between January 2023 and April 2024 were enrolled.The first ultrasonic examination of the hip joints was performed at a corrected gestational age of 4 to 6 weeks.The Graf classification method was employed to categorize the ultrasonic findings.Differences in hip joint development among preterm infants of varying gestational ages were compared,and rele-vant influencing factors were statistically analyzed.Results A total of 1,762 hip joints were exam-ined,with 30 cases of abnormal hip joints detected,yielding an abnormality detection rate of 3.4％(30/881).Among these,26 hips were classified as type Ⅱa and 8 as type Ⅱb.Statistically signifi-cant differences were observed in the detection of left-sided abnormal hip joints between preterm in-fants of other gestational age groups and late preterm infants(P＜0.05).A statistically significant difference was found in the classification of right-sided hip joints between preterm infants of different genders(P＜0.05),while no significant difference was observed for left-sided hip joints(P＞0.05).Statistically significant differences were noted in the detection rates of bilateral abnormal hip joints among preterm infants with varying birth weights(P＜0.05).Advanced maternal age was found to influence the development of left-sided hip joints inpreterm infants,whereas factors such as assisted reproductive technology,breech presentation,and nulliparity had no significant impacts on abnormal hip joint development in preterm infants.Conclusion Ultrasonic technology demonstrates signifi-cant advantages in screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH)in preterm infants.Dif-ferent gestational ages exert a notable influence on the development of left-sided hip joints in preterm infants.Female preterm infants exhibit a higher risk of right-sided hip joint abnormalities compared to the left side.Breech presentation,assisted reproductive technology,and nulliparity are not risk factors for DDH in preterm infants.However,higher birth weight in preterm infants and advanced maternal age are associated with abnormal hip joint development.Clinical attention should focus on high-risk factors,and enhanced dynamic ultrasonic monitoring of hip joints in preterm infants is war-ranted to facilitate early intervention and treatment.
