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 introduce the clinical application of "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection in laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:Patients who were confirmed to have adenocarcinoma by preoperative gastroscopy and pathological biopsy, with tumor staging evaluated by imaging as cT1~4aN0~3M0, without neoadjuvant therapy, and without absolute surgical contraindications, underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer with "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection. The "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection was performed in four steps: (1) Expose the posterior gastric mesentery and dissect No.11p lymph nodes; (2) Expose the left gastric mesentery and dissect No.7, No.8a and No.9 lymph nodes; (3) Expose the right gastric mesentery and dissect No.5 lymph nodes; (4) Expose the left edge of the portal vein and dissect No.12a lymph nodes.Results:From April 2018 to October 2024, 112 patients with gastric cancer underwent laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy with "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection, including 21 cases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, 78 cases in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and 13 cases in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Jilin Provincial People's Hospital. The TNM staging of all patients was as follows: 31 cases in stage Ⅰ, 24 cases in stage Ⅱ, and 57 cases in stage Ⅲ; 62 cases of differentiated adenocarcinoma and 50 cases of undifferentiated adenocarcinoma; the median length of tumors was 3.8 cm. All patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to open surgery, no intraoperative massive hemorrhage or postoperative death. The median total number of lymph nodes dissected in all patients was 32, and the median number of positive lymph nodes was 4.5. The overall postoperative complication rate was 5.4% (6/112), all of which were Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ, including pulmonary infection, pleural effusion, and incisional infection, all cured by symptomatic treatment. The median follow-up was 41.8 (2-78) months, with 7 cases lost to follow-up. During the follow-up period, 27 cases (25.7%) had tumor recurrence and 16 cases (15.2%) died.Conclusions:The "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection technique is safe and feasible in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective:To discuss the feasibility and safety of stage I anastomosis and T-tube fistulation in laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumors.Methods:A descriptive case series study was used to retrospectively analyze the clinical diagnosis and treatment data of 14 patients with duodenal tumors who successfully underwent laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumors + phase I anastomosis + T-tube ostomy in the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine and the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from October 2021 to March 2024. The resection and reconstruction steps of laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumor + phase I anastomosis + T-tube ostomy are as follows: (1) after the safe margin is clear, the duodenal tumor is completely removed in full thickness, and the specimen bag is taken out and sent to frozen section to determine the nature of the tumor and the negative margin; (2) Perforate the anterior duodenal wall below the tumor plane, place a 16# T tube, and fix it with laparoscopic purse string suture. The abdominal wall is led out through the duodenum, and the duodenal T tube fistulation is performed; (3) The duodenum was continuously sutured in a full-thickness transverse shape, and the seromuscular layer was strengthened to form a phase I anastomosis. The nutritional improvement of patients after operation was mainly observed, and the intraoperative situation and postoperative complications were recorded.Results:No conversion to laparotomy, postoperative emergency reoperation, intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred in 14 patients with duodenal tumors who completed laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumors + phase I anastomosis + T-tube ostomy. The operation time was (225.43 ± 56.54) min, and the intraoperative blood loss was (72.14 ± 74.65) ml. The patient recovered well after operation, and no severe postoperative abdominal bleeding occurred. Postoperative gastrointestinal angiography showed that the anastomotic stoma was unobstructed, and there were no stenosis, anastomotic leakage and other related complications. There was no significant difference in serum albumin [(37.09 ± 3.53) g/L vs. (37.52 ± 4) g/L] and hemoglobin [(100.79 ± 31.93) g/L vs. (103.07 ± 19.6) g/L] between before and 1 week after operation ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumor + phase I anastomosis + T-tube fistulation can be used as one of the safe and feasible improved methods for local resection of duodenal tumor to effectively reduce the occurrence of related complications.

This study was aimed at preliminarily assessing the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection(LTBI)among cattle farming and slaughterhouse workers across Wuxue,Xianning,and Yichang Cities in Hubei Province,and exploring associated risk factors.Data on cattle farming and slaughterhouse workers were gathered via a questionnaire.LTBI detection was performed with a tu-berculin skin test and interferon-gamma release assay,and influencing factors were subsequently analyzed.The LTBI prevalence among cattle farming and slaughterhouse personnel in the three cities was 30.50%,and a higher rate was observed in slaughterhouse workers(39.01%)than cattle farmers(21.63%)(P<0.01).Multifactor analysis indicated that working in slaughterhouses(95%CI:1.582-3.878),having a history of tuberculosis(95%CI:1.377-25.057)or BCG vaccination(95%CI:1.229-3.285),and having a college education or above(95%CI:0.303-0.859)were significant factors influencing LTBI positivity in these personnel.Having more than 30 years of work experience(95%CI:1.303-18.782)was a risk factor for personnel at cattle breeding farms.Among slaugh-terhouse personnel,having a college education or above(95%CI:0.164-0.894),11-20 years of work experience(95%CI:0.122-0.994),or a history of tuberculosis(95%CI:1.661-64.397);performing logistics work(95%CI:3.234-126.424);and working in slaughter-related positions(95%CI:1.209-19.639)were associated with LTBI positivity.Therefore,the slaughterhouse workers in the three cities had higher LTBI rates than the cattle farming workers,thus underscoring the need for increased attention to personnel in logistics and slaughter-related positions.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of endoclip papillaplasty (ECPP) for preventing recurrent choledocholithiasis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1 941 patients who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023. A total of 250 patients who received ECPP were assigned to the ECPP group, while 251 matched controls were selected via 1∶1 year-stratified sampling into the control group. After follow-up, 209 ECPP cases and 190 controls were ultimately included in the analysis. Stone removal success rate, incidence of perioperative complications, and postoperative choledocholithiasis recurrence were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine the risk factors for choledocholithiasis recurrence after ERCP.Results:Both groups achieved 100.0% stone removal success rate. There was no significant difference in the incidence of intraoperative perforation [0.5% (1/209) VS 1.1% (2/190), χ2=0.01, P=0.934], postoperative hyperamylasemia [21.5% (45/209) VS 17.4% (33/190), χ2=1.10, P=0.295] or post-ERCP pancreatitis [3.8% (8/209) VS 8.1% (9/190), χ2=0.20, P=0.653] between the ECPP group and the control group. The ECPP group showed significantly lower bleeding rate [5.1% (11/209) VS 12.3% (23/190), χ2=5.98, P=0.014] and choledocholithiasis recurrence rate [10.5% (22/209) VS 18.9% (36/190), χ2=5.68, P=0.017] compared with the control group. The multivariate logistic regression identified dilated common bile duct diameter ( OR=1.881, 95% CI: 1.101-3.213, P=0.021) as an independent risk factor for choledocholithiasis recurrence, while being female ( OR=0.482, 95% CI: 0.266-0.875, P=0.016) and ECPP ( OR=0.497, 95% CI:0.278-0.887, P=0.018) were protective factors. Conclusion:ECPP effectively reduces choledocholithiasis recurrence rate and bleeding risk after ERCP. ECPP and being female serve as protective factors for choledocholithiasis recurrence, while dilated bile duct diameter is an independent risk factor.
