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.

Resection is one of the most important treatments for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and routine postoperative follow-up is an effective method for early detection and treatment of recurrent metastases, which can improve patients' quality of life and prognosis. This consensus aims to provide a reference for colleagues responsible for postoperative follow-up of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients in China, and further improve the standardization of the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Unlike healthy, non-transformed cells, the proteostasis network of cancer cells is taxed to produce proteins involved in tumor development. Cancer cells have a higher dependency on molecular chaperones to maintain proteostasis. The chaperonin T-complex protein ring complex (TRiC) contains eight paralogous subunits (CCT1-8), and assists the folding of as many as 10% of cytosolic proteome. TRiC is essential for the progression of some cancers, but the roles of TRiC subunits in osteosarcoma remain to be explored. Here, we show that CCT4/TRiC is significantly correlated in human osteosarcoma, and plays a critical role in osteosarcoma cell survival. We identify a compound anticarin-β that can specifically bind to and inhibit CCT4. Anticarin-β shows higher selectivity in cancer cells than in normal cells. Mechanistically, anticarin-β potently impedes CCT4-mediated STAT3 maturation. Anticarin-β displays remarkable antitumor efficacy in orthotopic and patient-derived xenograft models of osteosarcoma. Collectively, our data uncover a key role of CCT4 in osteosarcoma, and propose a promising treatment strategy for osteosarcoma by disrupting CCT4 and proteostasis.

Objective:To explore the effect of repeated magnetic stimulation (rMS) on the growth and differentiation of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells.Methods:SH-SY5Y cells were subjected to rMS at 15%, 30% and 60% of the maximum output intensity at frequencies of 0.5Hz, 1Hz, 5Hz, 10Hz and 20Hz. They received either 800 or 1600 pulses per day for 4 days. Cell viability was detected using the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Apoptosis was induced using 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine ion (MPP + ) and all-trans retinoic acid was used to induce differentiation. The expression of neuron-specific nuclear proteins and the degree of cell differentiation were observed by immunohistochemistry. Results:0.5Hz rMS inhibited proliferation and 10Hz rMS promoted it. With 5Hz rMS significantly greater cell proliferation was observed at 15% and 30% of the maximum output intensity. The stimulatory effect of 1600 pulses per day was significantly greater than that of 800 pulses, especially at 10Hz. Apoptosis was inhibited at both 0.5Hz and 10Hz with 30% of the maximum output intensity. Meanwhile, both 0.5Hz and 10Hz rMS promoted differentiation of the SH-SY5Y cells into neurons.Conclusions:rMS at low frequency inhibits the proliferation of SH-SY5Y cells, but at higher frequency it promotes it. The effect strengthens with more pulses administered. rMS has a protective effect on MPP + -induced SH-SY5Y apoptosis, and it can promote the cells′ differentiation into neurons.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of the multi-segment injury of brachial plexus and provide reference for diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.Methods:From October, 2012 to January, 2015, 24 patients (21 males and 3 females, aged 7-46, average at 25.06±13.01 years) who suffered multi segments injury of brachial plexus were treated by surgical operations. Time from injury to surgery was 7 days to 7 months, with (2.43±2.15) months in average. The general data, injuries and surgical procedures of the patients were recorded. Muscle strength grading was used to evaluate and analyse the curative effect.Results:Twenty-four cases were followed-up for 3.1-7.2 years, with 4.3 years in average. Of the patients, 58.3% of the injuries were caused by mechanical traction. Combined injuries were counted for 83.3%, of which 62.5% combined with ipsilateral limb fractures, 20.8% (5/24) involved in the root of brachial plexus, 79.2% (19/24) with upper part of the clavicle, 91.6% (22/24) with lower part of the clavicle, 16.7% (4/24) with branches of the brachial plexus and 91.7% (22/24) with injuries of 2 segments, 8.3% (2/24) with injuries of 3 segments. At the last followed-up, 55.0% of the patients achieved better than M 3 in total muscle strength. The excellent and good rate was 70.8% in neurolysis group and 42.9% in multiple segment injury group. Conclusion:The mechanism of multi segments injury of brachial plexus is special, and the actual injury is difficult to be located. For patients with multi segments injury, surgical operation should be carried out as early as possible, and the correct surgical procedure can only be determined after the exploration of all sections of the brachial plexus.

Objective To validate a cell infection-based quantitative RT-PCR for evaluating the potency of rotavirus vaccine. Methods According to the ICH ( the International Council for Harmonization) Harmonised Tripartite Guideline, the method was validated for its specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity and robustness. Results The method had good specificity as it could only amplify and detect the corre-sponding type of rotavirus strain. The recovery rates for determining the potency against rotaviruses of G2, G3 and G4 types were 97％ to 108％. The percent coefficient of variation ( CV) of both intra-plate and in-ter-plate precision was≤2. 62％, while the intraday and interday CV was≤1. 76％ and≤2. 27％, respec-tively. The CV between the two experimenters was≤7. 68％. The linearity range of the method was 4. 4-6. 5 UI for G2 type rotavirus, 3. 9-8. 3 UI for G3 type and 3. 5-8. 1 UI for G4 type. Good robustness was observed using the cells of 140 to 160 generations. Conclusions The cell infection-based quantitative RT-PCR was shown to have satisfactory specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity and robustness, suggesting that it was a suitable method for evaluating the potency of multivalent rotavirus live vaccines.

Objective: To make a quantitative evaluation on the short term effect of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter no more than 2.5 μm (PM_2.5) on cumulative excess mortality rate (CER) and years of life lost (YLL) in residents in Changping district of Beijing. Methods: The death data in local residents, daily mortality, meteorology data and air pollution data (PM_2.5, SO₂ and NO₂ concentrations) in Changping from 2014 to 2017 were collected. Distributed lag non-linear model was used to assess the age and gender specific cumulative lag effects of PM_2.5 on cardiovascular CER and daily YLL in Changping. Results: The effects of PM_2.5 on cardiovascular CER and YLL were obvious on lag 7 days and lag 9 days, respectively, peaking on day 14, and lasting for 21 days. On lag0-21 days, for a 10 μg/m³ increase in PM_2.5, the population based CER of cardiovascular disease death was 0.021% (95%CI: 0.004%-0.038%), and the YLL was 1.47 (95%CI: 0.23-2.70) years. Greater PM_2.5 effect were observed in males and the elderly. Conclusion PM_2.5 increased the risk of cardiovascular disease death and YLL.
