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 investigate the differences in resting-state functional connectivity (FC) between patients with vestibular migraine (VM) and migraine without aura (MwoA) in order to infer the possible neuroimaging mechanisms of VM.Methods:Thirty VM patients admitted to the Department of Neurology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from December 2019 to December 2022 were selected as the experimental group (EG) (6 males and 24 females, with mean age of 38.3 years) and 26 MwoA patients as the control group (7 males and 19 females, mean age 35.5 years). General demographic and clinical data such as gender, age, year of education, course of disease and frequency of attacks were collected for all the patients, as well as data of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), headache Visual Arialogue Scale (VAS), Headache Impact Test 6 (HIT-6) and Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire (MIDAS). VM patients were also assessed by Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), dizziness VAS and Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living (VADL) scales. All patients underwent resting-sate functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans. Bilateral parietal opercular cortex 2 (OP2) and primary visual cortex (V1) were used as regions of interests (ROIs). Differences in FC between ROIs and other brain regions were calculated between the two groups. In view of the brain regions with significant differences, z-values of FC were extracted for each subject in the EG, and Pearson partial correlation analysis was conducted between z-values of FC and clinical characteristics of patients, P<0.05 was considered to have significant correlation. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results:There was no significant difference in gender, age, years of education, course of disease, frequency of attack and scores of MoCA, HAMA and HAMD between the two groups ( P>0.05). Headache VAS, HIT-6 and MIDAS scores in VM patients were significantly lower than those in MwoA patients ( P<0.05). Compared with MwoA patients, the FC between left OP2 and bilateral precuneus and left thalamus was significantly increased in VM patients, and the FC between right OP2 and left thalamus and right anterior cingulate gyrus were significantly increased ( P<0.05, False Discovery Rate correction). Correlation analysis showed that the FC between left OP2 and left precuneus was positively correlated with DHI score in VM patients ( P=0.007, r=0.480), and the FC between right OP2 and left thalamus was positively correlated with the disease course in VM patients ( P=0.015, r=0.439). Conclusions:The pathogenesis of VM may be related to the altered FC of vestibular, pain and visual-motor networks, abnormalities of these neural pathways may be important imaging biomarkers of VM pathogenesis.

Objective:The preliminary results was reported regarding the treatment of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fixation in the last decade, especially preventing recurrence of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fan-shaped fixation.Methods:We selected 12 patients who received emergency operation in Chongqing Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2010 to March 2022. All of them were made a definite diagnose of mesenteric torsion by the preoperative CT scan or exploratory laparotomy. The recurrence of mesenteric torsion will be prevented by taking the operation of mesenteric fan-shaped fixation. This technique is suitable for the patient who is suffering total mesenteric torsion, but enteric necrosis is excluded affirmatively. The operation is consists of the following progress: (1) Exploratory laparotomy to check for necrosis of the bowel and for lesions other than torsion. (2) Mesenteric torsion derotation.(3) Mesenteric linear fixation; the right posterior lower border of the small mesentery (terminal ileal mesentery) is intermittently sutured to the posterior peritoneum of the right lower quadrant to increase the width of the base of the small mesentery. (4) Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation, which is fan-shaped to the lower left and fixed in the posterior peritoneum, shortening the length of the mesentery and further increasing the width of the mesentery and posterior peritoneal fixation.Results:A total of 12 patients with mesenteric torsion were treated by operation for 15 times in all. Among them, 3 cases received resection of most small bowel were performed without recurrence; 3 patients received only derotation for a total of 4 times, 2 cases recurred, 1 of them recurred twice; 4 cases underwent derotation and mesenteric linear fixation,and 1 case recurred. Four patients with derotation and mesenteric fan-shaped fixation recovered well without recurrence.Conclusion:Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation may be an effective operative type to reduce or avoid postoperative recurrence of mesenteric torsion.

Objective:To investigate the learning curve for a five-step procedure, namely, a transthoracic single-port assisted laparoscopic transabdominal diaphragmatic approach, for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed relevant clinical data of 66 patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who had undergone the five-step procedure performed by the same surgeon in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from May 2017 to April 2023. The learning curve were plotted using cumulative summation analysis and selected indicators, including intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, time to first flatus, time to first tolerance of liquid food, length of hospital stay, and incidence of perioperative complications at different stages were compared. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 statistical software. Numerical data are presented as cases (%) and data were analyzed using the χ 2 test or Fisher's exact test. Normally distributed measurement data are presented as x±s, and independent sample t-testing was performed for inter group comparison. Non-normally distributed measurement data are presented as M( Q1, Q3) and the Mann–Whitney U test was used for inter group comparison. Results:The five-step procedure had been successfully completed without switching to open surgery in all 66 study patients. There were no perioperative deaths, blood loss was 100 (50, 200) mL and duration of surgery 329.4±87.3 minutes. The equation of optimal fit for the duration of surgery was y=0.031x 3-4.4757x 2+164.97x-264.4 ( P<0.001, R2=0.9797). The cumulative summation learning curve reached a vertex when 25 surgical procedures had accumulated. Using 25 cases as the cut-off, we divided the learning curves into learning and proficiency periods and patients into learning (25) and proficiency period groups (41). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients in sex, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, history of abdominal surgery, comorbidities, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, maximum tumor diameter, surgical procedure, or T and N stage of tumor ( P>0.05). The following factors differed significantly (all P<0.05) between the learning and proficiency stages: in the latter there was less intraoperative blood loss (100 [50, 100] ml vs. 200 [100, 200] ml, U=-3.940, P<0.001), shorter duration of surgery ([289.8±50.7] minutes vs. [394.4±96.0] minutes, t=5.034, P<0.001), more mediastinal lymph nodes removed (5 [2, 8] vs. 2 [1, 5], U=-2.518, P=0.012), earlier time to first flatus (2 [2, 3] days vs. 4 [3, 6] days, U=-4.016, P<0.001), earlier time to first tolerance of liquid food (5 [4, 6] days vs. 7 [6, 8] days, U=-2.922, P=0.003), shorter duration of hospital stay (8 [8, 10] vs. 10 [9, 12] days, U=-2.028, P=0.043). The incidence of surgical complications did not differ significantly between the two groups ( P=0.238). Conclusion:Satisfactory results can be achieved with the five-step procedure for patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction once 25 procedures have been performed.

Objective:To explore the application of anterior esophageal wall full layer fixation and gastric tube guidance in total laparoscopic overlap method for intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy.Methods:Overlap esophagojejunostomy with anterior esophageal wall full layer fixation and gastric tube guidance is suitable for patients with advanced gastric cancer (clinical stage: cT1b~4aN0~3M0) and esophageal invasion <3 cm, who underwent radical total gastrectomy+ overlap esophagojejunostomy. The main operation procedure was performed as follows: A titanium clip was used for fixation of the full anterior wall of esophagus before overlap esophagojejunostomy, and the side‐to‐side esophagojejunostomy was performed with the linear stapler under the guidance of gastric tube. Then the titanium clip was removed after confirming that the correct cavity was entered. Finally, the common outlet was closed by two barbed sutures. A descriptive case series study was conducted. The clinical data of patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy and overlap esophagojejunostomy with anterior esophageal wall full layer fixation and gastric tube guidance in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese medicine and the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese medicine from May 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 42 patients were collected, and all of them were successfully completed laparoscopic total radical gastrectomy without conversion to laparotomy or perioperative death. The esophagojejunostomy time, operative time, intraoperative blood loss was 17(5‐25) minutes, (258.8±38.0) minutes and 50(20‐200) ml, respectively. The incidence of esophageal false lumen was 0%, and there were no intraoperative complications. The time of gastric tube removal, initial fluid diet intake and the duration of postoperative hospital were 2(1‐5) , 4(1‐8) and 8(4‐21) days, respectively. There were no postoperative anastomotic hemorrhage, anastomotic stenosis and other related complications. One patient (2.38%) developed a Clavien‐Dindo IIIb complication, which was abdominal hemorrhage after operation. The second surgical exploration confirmed that the patient was bleeding due to gastroduodenal artery rupture. After intraoperative suture hemostasis, fluid expansion, blood transfusion and other treatments, the patient was discharged on the 15th day after the operation. Three patients (7.14%) developed Clavien‐Dindo grade II complications, including anastomotic leakage, chylous leakage and pulmonary infection, and were discharged after conservative treatment such as anti‐infection and prolonged retention of drainage tube.Conclusions:Laparoscopic overlap method for intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy with anterior esophageal wall fixation and gastric tube guidance can shorten the time of esophagojejunostomy and prevent the occurrence of false lumen, and do not increase anastomose‐related complications.

Objective This study aims to examine the potential mechanism of Shenfu Yixin Granules on heart failure(HF)based on network pharmacology,molecular docking,and experimental verification.Methods(1)The active components of herbs in Shenfu Yixin Granules were screened and retrieved through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP).PubChem database and Swiss Target Prediction platform were used to predict targets.GeneCards and OMIM databases were used to screen HF-related targets.The intersection of active ingredient targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules and HF-related targets was performed by using Venny 2.1.0 platform to obtain common targets,which were the potential targets for anti-HF effect of Shenfu Yixin Granules.The potential targets were imported into the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network and screen the core targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules for the treatment of HF.GO functional and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of potential targets were carried out by using DAVID database.AutoDock Vina software was used for molecular docking validation of key active ingredients and core targets.(2)SD rats were randomly allocated into sham operation group,model group,Shenfu Yixin Granules(5.28 g·kg-1)group,and positive control group(sacubitril-valsartan,20.8 mg·kg-1),with eight rats in each group.A rat model of HF after myocardial infarction was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery.The rats were subsequently administered orally with the corresponding drugs once daily for a period of four weeks.Cardiac function including left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular fraction shortening(LVFS)in rats was assessed by echocardiography.Additionally,the histopathological alterations in rat heart tissue were examined using hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.The serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),artial natriuretic peptide(ANP),and aldosterone(ALD)were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Furthermore,real-time quantitative PCR and Western Blot were employed to detect mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue.Results(1)A total of 210 active ingredients and 1 196 targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules,as well as 801 HF-related targets were obtained.Venny 2.1.0 platform was used to acquire 97 potential targets(common targets)of Shenfu Yixin Granules for the treatment of HF.Key active ingredients,such as quercetin,luteolin,arachidonic acid,kaempferol,and tanshinaldehyde were screened by"drugs-active ingredients-disease-targets"network analysis.The core targets including MAPK1、F2、CAV1、EDN1 and GJA1 were identified through PPI network analysis.The potential targets are mainly concentrated in multiple biological processes,namely,the positive regulation of gene expression,cardiac development,and the positive regulation of MAPK cascade,and involve multi key pathways including MAPK signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway etc.Good binding activities were observed between MAPK1,CAV1,EDN1,F2 and quercetin,luteolin,kaempferol,tanshinaldehyde,as well as MAPK1,F2 and arachidonic acid.(2)Compared with sham operation group,LVEF and LVFS of rats significantly reduced(P＜0.01),heart mass index obviously increased(P＜0.05)in the model group.Myocardial tissue appears obvious pathological damage,and the degree of interstitial fibrosis was serious.The collagen volume fraction of the heart significantly increased(P＜0.01).The levels of serum BNP,ANP and ALD significantly increased(P＜0.01).The mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,LVEF and LVFS of rats obviously increased(P＜0.01),but the decrease in heart mass index was not significant(P＞0.05)in Shenfu Yixin Granules group and positive control group.The pathological damage in myocardial tissues was significantly improved,the degree of interstitial fibrosis was significantly reduced.The collagen volume fraction of the heart significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The levels of serum BNP,ANP and ALD significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue significantly decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Shenfu Yixin Granules may improve heart function and myocardial fibrosis in heart failure rats through the interaction between the active ingredients(quercetin,luteolin,arachidonic acid,kaempferol,and tanshinaldehyde)and targets(MAPK1,F2,CAV-1,and EDN1),so as to regulate MAPK signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 14 components in Cinnamomi Cortex;To comprehensively evaluate its quality by multivariate statistical analysis technology.Methods HPLC method was used to establish the relative correction factors(RCF)between protocatechuic acid and 13 other components of coumalic acid,coumarin,cinnamyl alcohol,cinnamic acid,2-methoxycinnamic acid,cinnamaldehyde,o-methoxycinnamaldehyde,vanillic,syringic acid,4-hydroxybenzoic acid,procyanidin B2,epicatechin and procyanidin C1 to be measured,and the content of each component was calculated.The QAMS method was validated using external standard method(ESM),and the comprehensive quality of Cinnamomi Cortex was evaluated using PCA,OPLS-DA and EW-TOPSIS methods.Results The methodological verification results of ESM were in accordance with the requirements;the RCF established with protocatechuic acid as the reference had good durability under different experimental conditions,and the difference in content of each component between ESM and QAMS was not significant(P>0.05);the results of multivariate statistical analysis showed that accumulative contribution rate of former 2 principle components was 90.312%.Cinnamaldehyde,2-methoxycinnamic acid,procyanidin B2 and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid had a significant impact on the quality of Cinnamomi Cortex.The results of EW-TOPSIS showed that the Pi value of 16 batches of Cinnamomi Cortex ranged from 0.147 2 to 0.768 1.The quality of Cinnamomi Cortex from different producing areas varied greatly,and the overall quality of Cinnamomi Cortex from Guangxi Province was the best,followed by that from Guangdong Province and Yunnan Province,and the quality of Cinnamomi Cortex from Fujian Province was relatively poor.Conclusion The established QAMS multi-component quantitative method combined with multivariate statistical analysis technology can be used for comprehensive quality evaluation of Cinnamomi Cortex.

Objective To analyze the development trajectory and predictors of endocrine therapy associated arthralgia in breast cancer patients.Methods From January 2022 to July 2022,breast cancer patients in the breast medicine department or outpatients of a tertiary cancer hospital in Hunan Province were selected as respondents using a convenience sampling method.A baseline survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire,the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Treated with Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer,and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale within 1 week prior to patient treatment.The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Treated with Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer was used to assess patients'arthralgia levels at 3,6,and 9 months after treatment,and data were analyzed using growth mixed model,univariate analysis of variance,and multiple logistic regression.Results A total of 418 breast cancer patients completed the follow-up,with 235 cases(56.22%)developing arthralgia.3 potential categories of arthralgia develop-ment trajectories were identified:high level-slowly increasing group(11.48%),low level-slowly increasing group(44.74%),and asymptomatic group(43.78%).The results of multifactorial analysis showed that anxiety,history of bone and joint disease,sleep duration,place of residence,monthly household income,and frequency of exercise were predictors of potential categories for the development of trajectory of arthralgia levels associated with endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients(P<0.05).Conclusion Arthralgia levels associated with endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients exhibit different trajec-tories,and clinical staff should emphasize the assessment and intervention of pain levels in patients with the anxiety,a history of bone and joint disease,poor sleep,poor finances,living in urban areas,and low frequency of exercise.
