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.

Background: and Purpose Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute posterior circulation tandem lesion (PCTL). This study aimed to explore the role of extracranial vertebral artery (VA) stenting in patients with PCTL stroke undergoing EVT. Methods: Individual patient data were pooled from the BASILAR (EVT for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Study) and PERSIST (Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke) registries. Patients with PCTLs who underwent EVT were included in the present cohort and divided into the stenting and nonstenting groups based on the placement of extracranial VA stents. The primary efficacy outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 90 days and 1 year. Safety outcomes included 24-hour symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and all-cause mortality at 90 days and 1 year post-surgery. Results: A combined dataset of 1,320 patients with posterior circulation artery occlusion, including 263 (19.9%) with tandem lesions, of whom 217 (median age, 65 years; 82.9% male) met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. The stenting group had 84 (38.7%) patients, while the non-stenting group had 133 (61.3%). After adjustment for the potential confounders, extracranial VA stenting was associated with favorable shifts in mRS scores at both 90 days (adjusted common odds ratio [OR], 2.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23–4.28; P<0.01) and 1 year (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.04; 95% CI [1.05–3.97]; P=0.04), along with lower rate of mortality at both 90 days (aOR, 0.45; 95% CI [0.21–0.93]; P=0.01) and 1 year (aOR, 0.36; 95% CI [0.16–0.79]; P=0.01), with no significant difference in sICH incidence (aOR, 0.35; 95% CI [0.06–1.98]; P=0.24). Conclusion Extracranial VA stenting during EVT may improve functional outcomes and reduce mortality in patients with PCTL strokes.

Objective To analyze the colorectal cancer screening of community residents in Pudong New Area in Shanghai and provide reference for the promotion and strategy optimization of colorectal cancer screening programs. Methods Residents aged 50-74 years in the colorectal cancer screening project of Pudong New Area in Shanghai from 2013 to 2023 were recruited in this analysis. The situation of primary screening and colonoscopy in the community was described, and results of different age groups in primary screening and colonoscopy surveys were evaluated. Chi-square test was used to determine differences between groups. Results From 2013 to 2023, 907 030 residents were screened in Pudong New Area, of which 183 724 residents were positive, and the positive rate was 20.3%. The positive rate was the lowest in the 50-54 age group and the highest in the 70-74 age group. The positive rate was higher in men than in women. The overall colonoscopy rate was 27.1%, with the highest rates in the 50-54 age group in men and the 55-59 age group in women, respectively. The participation rate of colonoscopy increased with the increase of the year. A total of 19 094 cases of intestinal lesions were found by colonoscopy. Among these lesions, 1 147 cases were colorectal cancer, accounting for 6.0%, and the population detection rate was 126.5/100 000. In addition, 4 751 cases of precancerous lesions were found, accounting for 24.9%, and the detection rate was 523.8/100 000. Conclusion Colorectal cancer screening improves the detection rate of precancerous lesions and early cancer and is of great significance for reducing the incidence and mortality of colon cancer. Measures should be taken to optimize the screening strategy based on age differences and increase the participation rate of primary screening and colonoscopy to achieve the best effect of local colorectal cancer prevention and treatment.

Objective To study the cognitive protective effect and optimal dose of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride (DEX) in patients with severe depression treated with modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT).Methods A total of 120 patients with severe depression in our hospital from June 2021 to Decem-ber 2022 were randomly divided into DEX group (D1,D2,D3 group) and control group,with 30 cases in each group.DEX 0.2,0.4,and 0.6 μg/kg were intravenously pumped 10 min before anesthesia in groups D1,D2, and D3,respectively,and the same volume of normal saline was pumped in the control group.The heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),spontaneous breathing recovery time,recovery time,mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score at T0,one d and three d after operation,and adverse reactions were compared a-mong the four groups before anesthesia (T0),10 min after infusion of DEX (T1),after anesthesia induction and loss of consciousness (T2),at the end of MECT (T3),and five min after MECT (T4).Results At T1 and T2,HR in group D1 and HR and MAP in groups D2 and D3 were lower than those at T0,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).At T3,the HR and MAP of the four groups reached the peak,but at T4,the HR and MAP gradually decreased.At T4,the HR and MAP of the control group were higher than those at T0,and the HR and MAP of the D2 and D3 groups were lower than those at T0,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The recovery time of spontaneous breathing in D1,D2 and D3 groups was shorter than that in the control group,and the dosage of propofol was lower than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The recovery time from long to short was D3,D2 and D1 group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).At one d and three d after operation,the MMSE scores of D1,D2 and D3 groups were higher than those of the control group,and the MMSE score of D3 group was the highest,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion DEX can reduce MECT stress response and postoperative adverse reactions in patients with severe depression in a dose-de-pendent manner,and protect cognitive function.

Objective To explore the improving effect and mechanism of saikosaponin A on insomnia rats based on cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway.Methods Seventy-five SD rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,low-dose saikosaponin A group(0.625 mg·kg-1),high-dose saikosaponin A group(2.500 mg·kg-1)and Estazolam group(0.1 mg·kg-1),with 15 rats in each group.Insomnia rat model was established by intraperitoneal injection of Phenylalanine(PCPA,0.1 mg·kg-1).The general condition and circadian rhythm of rats were observed;the sleep latency and sleep duration of rats were measured by pentobarbital sodium righting experiment.The sleep phase of rats was observed,and the duration of slow wave sleep phase 1(SWS1),slow wave sleep phase 2(SWS2),rapid eye movement sleep phase(REMS)and total sleep time(TST)were recorded.The mRNA expression levels of hypothalamic circadian genes Clock,Bmal1 and clock-controlled genes Rev-erbα and Rorα were determined by qRT-PCR.The expression level of NeuN in hippocampus was determined by immunofluorescence.The level of cAMP in brain tissue was determined by ELISA.The expression levels of Clock,Bmal1,Rev-erbα,Rorα and cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway-related proteins in brain tissue were determined by Western Blot.Results Compared with the blank group,the rats in the model group had disordered circadian rhythms,extreme excitement,irritability,and reduced sleep;the sleep latency was significantly prolonged(P＜0.05),and the sleep duration and SWS1,SWS2,REMS and TST were significantly shortened(P＜0.05).The arrangement of neurons was disordered,and the IOD value of NeuN positive neurons was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The mRNA and protein expression levels of Clock,Bmal1,Rev-erbα and Rorα in brain tissue were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The expression levels of cAMP,p-PKA/PKA and p-CREB/CREB in brain tissue were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the aggressiveness of the rats in the administration group was significantly weakened,the circadian rhythm was rhythmic,the activity was reduced,and the sleep was increased.The sleep latency was significantly shortened(P＜0.05),and the sleep duration and SWS1,SWS2,REMS and TST were significantly prolonged(P＜0.05).The disorder of neuronal arrangement was restored,and the IOD value of NeuN positive neurons was significantly increased(P＜0.05).The mRNA and protein expression levels of Clock,Bmal1,Rev-erbα and Rorα in brain tissue were significantly increased(P＜0.05).The protein expression levels of cAMP,p-PKA/PKA and p-CREB/CREB in brain tissue were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Saikosaponin A may improve the circadian rhythm of insomnia rats by activating cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway.

Objective To establish a dynamic prediction model of fatal massive hemorrhage in trauma based on the vital signs time series data and machine learning algorithms.Methods Retrospectively analyze the vital signs time series data of 7522 patients with trauma in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ(MIMIC-Ⅳ)database from 2008 to 2019.According to the occurrence of posttraumatic fatal massive hemorrhage,the patients were divided into two groups:fatal massive hemorrhage group(n=283)and non-fatal massive hemorrhage group(n=7239).Six machine learning algorithms,including logistic regression(LR),support vector machine(SVM),random forests(RF),adaptive boosting(AdaBoost),gated recurrent unit(GRU),and GRU-D were used to develop a dynamic prediction models of fatal massive hemorrhage in trauma.The probability of fatal massive hemorrhage in the following 1,2,and 3 h was dynamically predicted.The performance of the models was evaluated by accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,Youden index,and area under receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).The models were externally validated based on the trauma database of the Chinese PLA General Hospital.Results In the MIMIC-Ⅳ database,the set of dynamic prediction models based on the GRU-D algorithm was the best.The AUC for predicting fatal major bleeding in the next 1,2,and 3 h were 0.946±0.029,0.940±0.032,and 0.943±0.034,respectively,and there was no significant difference(P=0.905).In the trauma dataset,GRU-D model achieved the best external validation effect.The AUC for predicting fatal major bleeding in the next 1,2,and 3 h were 0.779±0.013,0.780±0.008,and 0.778±0.009,respectively,and there was no significant difference(P=0.181).This set of models was deployed in a public web calculator and hospital emergency department information system,which is convenient for the public and medical staff to use and validate the model.Conclusion A set of dynamic prediction models has been successfully developed and validated,which is greatly significant for the early diagnosis and dynamic prediction of fatal massive hemorrhage in trauma.
