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 evaluate the impact of assisted reproductive technology (ART) on postpartum breastfeeding outcomes.Methods:This paper electronically retrieved the China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The search period was from database establishment to March 15, 2023. After independent literature search, screening, data extraction, and quality evaluation by two researchers, Meta-analysis was conducted using R 4.2.2 software.Results:A total of 11 articles were included. Meta-analysis showed that compared with naturally conceived mothers, the rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 1th week postpartum ( RR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.73-0.97), exclusive breastfeeding at 6th months postpartum ( RR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.61-0.98), and the incidence of breastfeeding for >6 months postpartum ( RR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.96) were decreased, and the rate of artificial feeding at 12th months postpartum ( RR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.02-1.17) was increased. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the rate of artificial feeding at 8th months postpartum, the incidence of breastfeeding duration >12 months, and the incidence of breastfeeding difficulties ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:ART reduces the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in postpartum 1th week and 6th months, and the incidence of postpartum breastfeeding duration>6 months, and increases the artificial feeding rate in postpartum 12th months. However, the impact of ART on the incidence of breastfeeding difficulties is not yet clear and still needs to be further demonstrated by high-quality studies.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value immature granulocyte percentage(IG％)and other inflammatory indicators in the severity of acute appendicitis.Methods:A total of 201 pediatric patients undergoing appendicitis surgery admitted to Zhoukou Central Hospital from June 2022 to August 2023 were included.Patients with pathologically confirmed actue appendici-tis were divided two subgroups:actue simple appendicitis(ASA)group and actue complicated ap-pendicitis(ACA)group,The variables that included IG％,white blood cell(WBC)count,absolute neutrophil count(ANC),absolute lymphocyte count(ALC),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),pro-calcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),platelet to lymphocyte(PLR)and other indexes were ana-lyzed between ASA and ACA group.The logistic regression model for diagnosis of ACA was es-tablished,and the diagostic value of this model and other inflammtory indicators for ACA was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.Results:The levels of IG％,WBC,ANC,ALC,NLR,PCT and PLR were higher and the level of ALC was lower in ACA group than those in ASA group(all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that IG％,NLR and CRP were three diagnostic determinants of ACA(all P＜0.05).The AUC of the established logistic model and IG％,NLR,CRP were 0.868,0.821,0.691 and 0.790(all P＜0.001).The logistic model was vali-dated by independent cohorts,and the AUC was 0.872,the sensitivity was 90.0％and the speci-ficity was 75.6％.Conlusions:The IG％value can early indicator for pediatric ACA,and the es-tablished logistic regression model based on biomarkers including IG％,NLR and CRP has clinical value in diagnosing ACA in children.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Qideng Mingmu capsule on the formation and remodeling of retinal neovascularization in mice with oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR).Methods:Thirty-six postnatal day 7 (P7)SPF grade C57BL/6J pups were divided into normal group, OIR group, Qideng Mingmu capsule group and apatinib group by random number table method, with 9 mice in each group.The mice in the normal group were raised in normal environment.The mice in the other three groups were fed in hyperoxic environment of (75±2)% oxygen concentration for 5 days from P7 to P12 and then were fed in normal environment for 5 days from P12 to P17 to establish the OIR model.From P12, mice in Qideng Mingmu capsule group and apatinib group were given intragastric administration of Qideng Mingmu capsule (900 mg/kg) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 inhibitor apatinib (70 mg/kg) respectively, once a day for 5 consecutive days.On P17, paraffin sections of mouse eyeballs were made and stained with hematoxylin-eosin to count the number of vascular endothelial cells that broke through the internal limiting membrane.The retinal slices were prepared and stained with FITC-dextran to quantify the retinal non-perfusion area, neovascularization density and total vascular density.The distribution and fluorescence intensity of retinal vascular endothelial cell marker CD31 and pericyte marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were observed by double immunofluorescence staining.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression and distribution of retinal hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin).The use and care of animals were in accordance with the Regulations on the Management of Laboratory Animals issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology.This study was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No.2019-30).Results:The number of vascular endothelial cells breaking through the internal limiting membrane in normal group, OIR group, Qideng Mingmu capsule group and apatinib group were (2.83±4.40), (37.33±5.43), (23.83±6.79) and (14.00±9.34), respectively, with a statistically significant overall difference ( F=28.313, P<0.001).There were more vascular endothelial cells breaking through internal limiting membrane in OIR group than in normal group, Qideng Mingmu capsule group and apatinib group, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05).In the observation of mouse retinal slices, there were large non-perfusion areas, neovascularization buds and disordered distribution of blood vessels in OIR group.The distribution of blood vessels was more uniform and the areas of non-perfusion and neovascularization were smaller in Qideng Mingmu capsule group and apatinib group than in OIR group.The relative area of central retinal non-perfusion area and neovascularization density were significantly lower in normal group, Qideng Mingmu capsule group and apatinib group than in OIR group (all at P<0.05).The immunofluorescence intensity of CD31 and the absorbance value of HIF-1α were significantly lower, and the immunofluorescence intensity of α-SMA and the absorbance value of VE-cadherin were significantly higher in normal group, Qideng Mingmu capsule group and apatinib group than in OIR group (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Qideng Mingmu capsule can inhibit retinal neovascularization formation, increase vascular pericyte coverage, relieve retinal hypoxia and increase vascular integrity in OIR mice.It can protect the retinal vessels of OIR mice.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective:To explore the value of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) parameters in different regions of the kidney in distinguishing IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients from healthy volunteers.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Eighty-four patients diagnosed with IgAN (IgAN group) who underwent renal biopsy (lower pole of the left kidney) and were pathologically confirmed at the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from February 2022 to September 2023 and thirty-four healthy volunteers (control group) were included prospectively. The regions of interest were outlined in the right renal cortex, medulla, and parenchyma for all subjects, and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), true diffusion coefficient (D), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D *), and perfusion fraction (f) were measured in the corresponding regions. The differences in IVIM-DWI parameters between the IgAN group and the control group were compared using the student′s t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed on the parameters with statistically significant differences, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Results:There were statistically significant differences in renal cortical ADC, renal parenchymal ADC, renal cortical D, renal parenchymal D, and renal medullary f values between the IgAN group and the control group ( Z=-3.03, -2.21, -2.62, -2.03, -2.03; P=0.002, 0.027, 0.009, 0.043, 0.042). The AUCs (95% CI) for diagnosing IgAN using renal cortical ADC, renal parenchymal ADC, renal cortical D, renal parenchymal D, and renal medullary f values were 0.679 (0.586-0.762), 0.630 (0.537-0.717), 0.654 (0.535-0.774), 0.619 (0.497-0.742), and 0.620 (0.495-0.745), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in renal medullary ADC, D, renal cortex, medulla and parenchyma D *, renal cortical and renal parenchymal f values between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The quantitative parameters of renal IVIM-DWI are influenced by different measurement regions, among which the ADC, D of renal cortex and parenchyma, and f of renal medulla can be used for the initial diagnosis of IgAN.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of podoplanin （PDPN） in hepatic stellate cell （HSC） activation and liver fibrosis. MethodsLiver biopsy samples were collected from 75 patients with chronic hepatitis B who attended Department of Infectious Diseases， Putuo Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine， for the first time from September 2019 to June 2022， and RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to measure the expression of PDPN in liver tissue of patients in different stages of liver fibrosis. A total of 12 male C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into control group and model group. The mice in the model group were given intraperitoneal injection of 10% CCl₄， and those in the control group were injected with an equal volume of olive oil， for 6 weeks. HE staining and Sirius Red staining were used to observe liver histopathological changes； primary mouse liver cells were separated to measure the mRNA expression of PDPN in various types of cells； primary mouse HSCs were treated with PDPN protein， followed by treatment with the NF-‍κB inhibitor BAY11-708， to measure the expression of inflammatory factors in HSCs induced by PDPN. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate data correlation. ResultsAs for the liver biopsy samples， there was a relatively low mRNA expression level of PDPN in normal liver， and there was a significant increase in the mRNA expression level of PDPN in liver tissue of stage S3 or S4 fibrosis （all P<0.001）. Immunohistochemical staining showed that PDPN was mainly expressed in the fibrous septum and the hepatic sinusoid， and the PDPN-positive area in S4 liver tissue was significantly higher than that in S0 liver tissue （t=8.892， P=0.001）. In normal mice， PDPN was mainly expressed in the hepatic sinusoid， and there was a significant increase in the expression of PDPN in CCl₄ model mice （t=0.95， P<0.001）， mainly in the fibrous septum. RT-PCR showed a significant increase in the mRNA expression of PDPN in the CCl₄ model mice （t=11.25， P=0.002）. Compared with hepatocytes， HSCs， Kupffer cells， and bile duct endothelial cells， hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells showed a significantly high expression level of PDPN （F=20.56， P<0.001）. Compared with the control group， the primary mouse HSCs treated by PDPN protein for 15 minutes showed significant increases in the mRNA expression levels of the inflammation-related factors TNFα， CCL3， CXCL1， and CXCR1 （all P<0.05）， and there were significant reductions in the levels of these indicators after treatment with BAY11-7082 （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThere is an increase in the expression of PDPN mainly in hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells during liver fibrosis， and PDPN regulates HSC activation and promotes the progression of liver fibrosis via the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal-derived tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the cornerstone of GIST therapy, but mutations in resistance genes pose many problems for treatment, especially the heterogeneity of KIT resistance mutations. In recent years, with the release of a number of GIST related drug research and experimental results, the great potential of targeted therapy, immunotherapy and combination therapy to treat GIST in different directions has been revealed, providing more therapeutic directions for GIST. This article will review the experimental research and future direction in recent years.

BACKGROUND:The pedicle navigation template has many advantages,but there are still some problems.For example,poor soft tissue dissection leads to poor adhesion of the pedicle navigation template,resulting in screw path deviation;careful dissection of soft tissue to fit the pedicle navigation template leads to prolonged surgery time and increased bleeding;the design of the pedicle navigation template cannot predict the vertebral rotation and the impact of body position changes,resulting in the poor fitting. OBJECTIVE:To explore the utility of a new 5-point positioning point-contact pedicle navigation template in the case of scoliosis and complex pedicle. METHODS:A total of 20 patients with scoliosis and complicated pedicle admitted to the Department of Spinal Surgery,Guizhou Hospital,Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from February 2020 to February 2023 were selected for scoliosis orthopedics.During the operation,the 5-point positioning point-contact pedicle navigation template was used to guide the screws.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,34 cases were matched as the empirical nail placement group,and conventional barehanded nail placement was performed.The time of placement,the amount of bleeding,the number of fluoroscopies,the number of manual diversions,the level and accuracy of pedicle screws,the complications of placement,and the rate of correction of main curvature were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were no significant differences in sex,age,coronal Cobb's angle of the main curvature,bending Cobb's angle of the main curvature,pedicle variation,apex rotation,fusion segment,number of screws,level of screws,accuracy of screws,and rate of correction of main curvature between the navigation template group and the empirical nail placement group(P>0.05).(2)Compared with the empirical nail placement group,the navigation template group had more advantages in time of placement(P=0.034),amount of bleeding(P=0.036),number of fluoroscopies(P=0.000)and number of manual diversions(P=0.021).(3)There were 0 cases of screw-related complications in both groups.(4)In conclusion,the 5-point positioning point-contact 3D printing pedicle navigation template has a claw-like structure.It can firmly adapt to various deformities of the lamina articular process,avoid drift,and accurately place the screws.It has a point-like contact lamina structure to avoid extensive and complete dissection of the posterior structure,and reduce bleeding,operation time,and trauma.Pre-designed screw entry points and directions can reduce the number of fluoroscopy and operation time.Segmental design can avoid discomfort due to changes in anesthesia position.The operation is simple and the accuracy of screw placement is high.
