Objective To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound imaging parameters combined with ser-um progranulin(PGRN)and programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1)for lymph node metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 135 NSCLC patients admitted to Hengshui Cardiovascu-lar Hospital from February 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the NSCLC group.According to whether lymph node metastasis occurred,the NSCLC patients were divided into the metastasis group(52 cases)and the non-metastasis group(83 cases).Another 135 patients with benign lung diseases who were admitted to the hospi-tal during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of serum PGRN and PD-L1 were de-tected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to ana-lyze the factors influencing lymph node metastasis of NSCLC.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of ultrasound imaging parameters[end-diastolic velocity(EDV),peak systolic velocity(PSV),and minimum axial diameter(MAD)]combined with serum levels of PGRN and PD-L1 for lymph node metastasis of NSCLC.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum PGRN and PD-L1 in the NSCLC group were significantly increased,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05).Compared with the non-metastasis group,the levels of serum PGRN and PD-L1 in the metas-tasis group were significantly increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the non-metastasis group,the ultrasound imaging parameters EDV,PSV and MAD in the metastasis group were significantly increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that PGRN,PD-L1,EDV,PSV,and MAD were all independ-ent risk factors affecting lymph node metastasis of NSCLC(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum PGRN,PD-L1 and ultrasound imaging parameters EDV,PSV and MAD for the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of NSCLC separately was 0.805,0.792,0.745,0.738 and 0.737,respectively.The AUC of com-bined diagnosis for lymph node metastasis of NSCLC was 0.938,which was superior to that of single diagnosis(ZPGRN-combination=3.424,ZPD-L1-combination=4.076,ZEDV-combination=3.891,ZPSV-combination=4.755,ZMAD-combination=4.400,P<0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound imaging parameters combined with serum PGRN and PD-L1 have certain diagnostic value for lymph node metastasis of NSCLC.

ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 12 patients with difficult choledocholithiasis who underwent ERCP and electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in Department of Gastroenterology， Jilin People’s Hospital， from May to November 2022. The clinical effect of lithotripsy and lithotomy was observed， and postoperative complications and time of surgical operation were assessed. ResultsAmong the 12 patients， 11 （91.67%） were successfully treated by electrohydraulic lithotripsy under direct view， 9 （75.00%） achieved first-attempt success in lithotripsy， and 11 （91.67%） had complete removal of calculi； 1 patient was found to have stenosis of the bile ducts caused by multiple biliary tract surgeries， and grade Ⅱ intrahepatic bile duct stones above the sites of stenosis were removed under direct view， but there were still residues of grade Ⅲ intrahepatic bile duct stones， which led to the fact that complete calculus removal was not achieved. The mean time of ERCP operation was 91.3±26.2 minutes， including a time of 41.8±22.2 minutes for energy lithotripsy. There were 2 cases of postoperative biliary tract infection which were improved after anti-infective therapy， 2 cases of hyperamylasemia which were not given special treatment， and 3 cases of mild pancreatitis which were improved after symptomatic medication， and there were no complications such as bleeding and perforation. ConclusionERCP combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system is safe， effective， and feasible in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis.

ObjectiveBased on the new method of animal model evaluation， this paper summarized and analyzed the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） and Western medicine syndromes in existing autism spectrum disorder（ASD） animal models， and put forward suggestions for improvement. MethodRelevant literature on ASD animal models in China National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI） and PubMed were searched. According to the diagnostic standards of traditional Chinese and western medicine， core symptoms and accompanying symptoms were assigned values， and the clinical consistency of the models was comprehensively evaluated. ResultMost ASD model experimental animals were rodents， and the modeling methods included genetic and non-genetic. Domestic research focused on biochemical induction， while foreign research used genetic models more commonly. Among all models， valproic acid induction had the highest clinical consistency， followed by the neuroligin 4（NLGN4） and contactin associated protein like 2（CNTNAP2） gene knockout models. Most modeling methods could meet the characteristics of surface validity and structural validity， but did not clearly distinguish TCM syndromes. Currently， there is no model that has a high degree of clinical agreement between TCM and western medicine at the same time. ConclusionThe existing ASD animal models are mostly constructed under the guidance of western medicine， which lacks the characteristics of TCM syndromes. And the selection of evaluation indicators of western medicine is relatively single， without specifying the types of TCM syndromes. It is recommended to apply TCM intervention factors during the process of model preparation， to improve the evaluation indicators of traditional Chinese and western medicine， and to emphasize the study of on non-human primates， so as to lay a solid foundation for future experiments.
