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.

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.

Objective To compare the effect of palliative mitral valve surgeries and medication therapies for secondary non-ischemic mitral regurgitation. Methods The clinical data of patients with non-ischemic functional mitral regurgitation treated in our hospital between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<40% underwent a dobutamine stress test, and a positive result was determined when the LVEF improved by more than 15% compared to the baseline value. Positive patients were divided into a surgery group and a medication group. The surgery group underwent surgical mitral valve repair or replacement, while the medication group received simple medication treatment. Follow-up on survival and cardiac function status through outpatient or telephone visits every six months after surgery, and patients underwent cardiac ultrasound examination one year after surgery. The main research endpoint was a composite endpoint of all-cause death, heart failure readmission, and heart transplantation, and the differences in cardiac function and cardiac ultrasound parameters between the two groups were compared. Results Ultimately 41 patients were collected, including 28 males and 13 females with an average age of 55.5±11.1 years. Twenty-five patients were in the surgery group and sixteen patients in the medication group. The median follow-up time was 16 months, ranging 1-96 months. The occurrence of all-cause death in the surgery group was lower than that in the medication group (HR=0.124, 95%CI 0.024-0.641, P=0.034). The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant in the composite endpoint (HR=0.499, 95%CI 0.523-1.631, P=0.229). The New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade of the surgery group was better (NYHA Ⅰ-Ⅱ accounted for 68.0% in the surgury group and 18.8% in the medication group, P<0.01) as well as the grade of mitral valve regurgitation (87.5% of the patients in the medication group had moderate or above regurgitation at follow-up, while all the patients in the surgery group had moderate below regurgitation, P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in preoperative and follow-up changes in echocardiograph parameters between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion For non-ischemic functional mitral regurgitation, if the cardiac systolic function is well reserved, mitral valve surgery can improve survival and quality of life compare to simple medication therapy.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the most effective revascularization treatments for coronary heart disease. Secondary prevention strategies, which rely on antiplatelet and lipid-lowering drugs, are crucial after CABG to ensure the durability of revascularization treatment effects and prevent adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in the medium to long term. Previous research conducted by Professor Zhao Qiang's team from Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, known as the DACAB study, indicated that dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT, specifically ticagrelor+aspirin) after CABG can enhance venous graft patency. However, it remains uncertain whether DAPT can further improve the medium to long-term clinical outcomes of CABG patients. Recently, the team reported the medium to long-term follow-up results of the DACAB study, termed the DACAB-FE study, finding that DAPT administered after CABG can reduce the incidence of major cardiovascular events over five years and improve patients' medium to long-term clinical outcomes. This article will interpret the methodological highlights and significant clinical implications of the DACAB-FE study.

Objective:To explore the experience and learning curve of single-line suspension suction rod-assisted hybrid cavity-building thyroid surgery via the oral vestibular approach.Methods:Clinical data of 138 patients undergoing single-line suspension suction rod-assisted hybrid cavity-building thyroid surgery via oral vestibular approach from Sep. 2019 to Dec. 2021 in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College were retrospectively analyzed. The cumulative sum (CUSUM) method and best-fit curve analysis were used to compare the differences in each index such as operative time, intraoperative bleeding, number of lymph nodes cleared in the central region and postoperative related complications at various stages of the learning curve.Results:All 138 patients underwent single-line suspension rod-assisted hybrid cavity-building thyroid surgery via the oral vestibular approach, and one patient was converted to open surgery due to large intraoperative bleeding in the mass. There were 14 males and 124 females, mean age (36.07±8.49) years (20-55 years), thyroid tumor size (7.74±6.49) mm (2.4-50mm), 5 cases underwent Subtotal thyroidectomy, 129 cases underwent Unilateral lobectomy + lymph node dissection in the middle region, and 4 cases total thyroidectomy + central zone lymph node dissection. The number of surgical cases corresponding to the apex of the CUSUM learning curve was 45, and the learning curve was divided into two stages: the learning improvement stage (1-45 cases) and the mastery stage (46-138 cases). The operative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, and chin numbness were all lower in the proficiency period than in the learning and training period ( P<0.05), and the number of lymph nodes cleared in the central region was larger than that in the learning and improvement stage ( P<0.05), while the differences in other indexes between the two stages were not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:The single-line suspension suction rod-assisted hybrid cavity-building thyroid surgery via the oral vestibular approach has clinical application value and is worth promoting, and the number of surgical cases to be accumulated to master this technique is 45.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of discharge preparation service based on theory of goal attainment on patients with cervical spinal cord injury.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinic data of 60 patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted to Zhengzhou Orthopedics Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022, including 49 males and 11 females, aged 23-79 years [(52.2±13.5)years]. Patients were all treated with cervical decompression fusion and internal fixation. Patients admitted from January 2017 to December 2019 were treated with conventional nursing intervention (conventional nursing group, n=30) and patients admitted from January 2020 to December 2022 were treated with discharge preparation service based on theory of goal attainment (discharge preparation service group, n=30). The readiness for hospital discharge of the two groups was compared using the Chinese version of Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) at 4 hours before discharge. The degree of cervical spinal cord dysfunction of the two groups were compared using Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score before intervention, at discharge and at 6 months after discharge. The complication and unplanned readmission rates of the two groups were compared at 6 months after discharge. Results:All the patients were followed up for 6 months. At 4 hours before discharge, the scores of the three parameters of RHDS containing personal status, adaptability and anticipatory support and the total score of the discharge preparation service group were (20.9±3.5)points, (35.9±2.2)points, (30.4±3.0)points and (87.1±7.8)points respectively, higher than those of the conventional nursing group [(16.2±1.7)points, (32.5±2.2)points, (26.3±2.1)points and (75.0±5.6)points respectively] ( P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the JOA score of the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). The JOA scores of the discharge preparation service group at discharge and at 6 months after discharge were (11.8±1.7)points and (13.8±1.5)points respectively, higher than those of the conventional nursing group [(10.3±1.8)points and (11.6±1.9)points respectively] ( P<0.01). At 6 months after discharge, the complication rate of the discharge preparation service group was 6.7% (2/30), lower than that of the conventional nursing group [36.7% (11/30)] ( P<0.05). The unplanned readmission rate of the discharge preparation service group was 3.3% (1/30), lower than that of the conventional nursing group [23.3% (7/30)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For patients with cervical spinal cord injury, discharge preparation service based on theory of goal attainment can improve the discharge readiness, promote spinal functional recovery and reduce the complication and unplanned readmission rates.

[Objective] To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of Antopol Goldman lesion (AGL) in clinical practice. [Methods] Clinical data and diagnosis and treatment process of one AGL case treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. [Results] The patient presented with painless gross hematuria and right-sided lower back pain.Imaging examination suggested swelling of the right kidney, blood accumulation in the right calyx, renal pelvis and lower ureter, blood clot in the bladder, and multiple small stones in the left kidney.After multidisciplinary consultation, close imaging follow-up, interventional and flexible ureterdscope examination, tumors of hematological diseases, renal hematuria, arteriovenous fistula and collection system were excluded.After conservative treatment, the patient gradually recovered.During the follow-up of 1 year, no hematuria or low back pain recurred. [Conclusion] There is no clear diagnostic standard for AGL.Diagnosis relies on imaging, interventional methods and ureteroscopy.It is necessary to exclude other diseases and adopt conservative treatment.
