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 explore optimization pathways for the drug traceability code management model in outpatient pharmacy workflows， providing practical evidence for enhancing the efficiency of pharmaceutical service. METHODS Taking the outpatient pharmacy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University as the research subject， a comprehensive drug traceability system was established through three key interventions： upgrading the information system architecture [including integration of the hospital information system （HIS） with the traceability platform]， workflow optimization （reorganizing the inventory-dispensing-verification tripartite process）， and designing a dual-mode traceability data collection mechanism （primary data capture at dispensing stations and supplementary capture at verification stations）. Operational efficiency differences before and after implementation were analyzed using the medical insurance data and service timeliness metrics in September 2024. RESULTS After the implementation of drug traceability code management， in terms of data collection: Mode Ⅰ （verification-stage capture） uploaded 26 144 records， while Mode Ⅲ （inventory-as-sales capture） uploaded 443 061 records， totaling 469 205 entries； in terms of time efficiency： average drug dispensing time increased from 28.74 s to 43.37 s （enhanced by 51%）. Through dynamic staffing adjustments， patient wait time only extended from 8.04 min to 8.67 min （enhanced by 8%）. CONCLUSIONS Drug traceability code management can be effectively implemented via a “system reconstruction-process reengineering-human-machine collaboration” trinity strategy， leveraging informatization （e.g.， dual-mode data capture） to offset manual operation delays， which validates the feasibility of balancing national traceability demands with service efficiency in outpatient pharmacies.

Objective We aimed to investigate the hemostatic effect and mechanism of modified Sijunzi Decoction(MSJZT),consisting of tangshen,India bread,largehead atractylodes rhizome,liquorice root,milkvetch root,ass hide glue,and India madder root,on the zebrafish intestinal bleeding model through 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)and its receptors(5-HT2aR,5-HT2bR).Methods Zebrafish at 4 days post fertilization were used as the research object.An intestinal bleeding model was established by induction with 6 μmol/L simvastatin for 24 hours.The zebrafish were divided into normal group,model group,MSJZT low-,mid-and high-concentration groups(55.6,167,500 mg/L),and after modeling,the corresponding concentration of MSJZT was administered.The samples were collected after 24 hours.Platelet count(PLT)and bleeding status were observed.The content of 5-HT and Caspase 3/7 activity were detected by colorimetry.The gene expressions of 5-HT2aR,5-HT2bR and serotonin transporter(SERT)were detected by real-time PCR.The protein expressions of protein kinase B(AKT),phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT),extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase(ERK),and phosphorylated ERK(p-ERK)were detected by Western blotting.Results The intestinal bleeding rate in the model group was 70.0%,and that in the MSJZT low-,mid-and high-concentration groups was 36.7%,40.0%,and 80.0%,respectively;the intestinal hemostatic effect was 54%,52%,and 7%,respectively.Compared with the model group,the PLT in the MSJZT low-and mid-concentration groups decreased;the content of 5-HT in all MSJZT groups increased,and the gene expressions of 5-HT2aR and 5-HT2bR were up-regulated.The gene expression of SERT was up-regulated in the low-and mid-concentration groups;the Caspase 3/7 activity in the mid-and high-concentration groups was reduced;the expressions of p-AKT and p-ERK proteins were up-regulated in the low-and mid-concentration groups(all P<0.05).Conclusion MSJZT can reduce the incidence and severity of intestinal bleeding in zebrafish intestinal bleeding models.The mechanism may be achieved by activating AKT and ERK signaling pathways through 5-HT and its receptors.

Rapid epidemiological screening for tuberculosis (TB) usually uses tuberculin pure protein derivative (PPD) skin test, which has limitations such as low specificity and high side effects. ESAT-6 and CFP-10 are secreted proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but the related genes are missing from Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). In this study, the fusion protein ESAT6-CFP10 (EC) was expressed and purified, and prepared into chitosan nanoparticles (EC-NPs), which were loaded into the microneedle patch and carried out the preliminary test of tuberculosis skin test. The drug loading capacity of MNP-EC-NPs (microneedle patch, MNP) can reach 0.03 μg per needle and 1.92 μg per patch. The shelf life of MNP-EC-NPs can reach 6 months at room temperature, and it can effectively penetrate the epidermis. Volunteer skin test results showed that MNP-EC-NPs can effectively distinguish between BCG vaccinators, and can effectively show positive reaction in the skin of tuberculosis patients without significant side effects. The experiment was approved by the Ethics Committee of Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital [2022 (2)]. In this study, a TB skin test method was established, using ESAT6-CFP10 fusion protein instead of PPD, and using soluble microneedle dosage form, which improved the specificity of TB skin test diagnosis and provided a new technical scheme for TB epidemic screening.

Human exhaled breath has great application prospects,e.g.,monitoring pharmacokinetics,disease diagnosis,due to its advantages such as non-invasive and high-frequency sampling.Breath samples can be collected from the oral and nasal cavity.However,the oral and nasal environment affect the chemical composition of breath sample.Therefore,the investigation on the chemical composition of mouth-exhaled breath and nose-exhaled breath is crucial for selection of appropriate sampling strategy for individual studies.In this work,secondary electrospray ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry(SESI-HRMS)was applied to analysis of respiratory metabolomics in real time.A quantitative analysis approach was established for 9 kinds of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)e.g.2-butanone,2-pentanone,ethyl acetate,methyl methacrylate,toluene,styrene,mesitylene,isoprene and limonene.The limit of detection was 2.3?240.8 ng/m3.The intra-day(n=6)and inter-day(n=18)relative standard deviations were 0.6%?4.6%and 4.3%?12.2%,respectively.Nine healthy subjects were recruited to investigate the chemical composition of mouth-exhaled and nose-exhaled breath.The results showed the good performance in quantitative analysis of 9 VOCs in breath air.It was found that the number of unique component(m/z)detected in mouth-exhaled breath(167)was 2.2 times greater than that detected in nose-exhaled breath(76),which might result from the complex environment in oral cavity.The signal intensity of commun component(163)was significantly different between mouth-exhaled breath and nose-exhaled breath.Additionally,the elemental composition analysis showed that the proportion of polar compounds detected in nose-exhaled breath was higher than that in mouth-exhaled breath.This study demonstrated that there was significant differences in the chemical composition between mouth-exhaled and nose-exhaled breath,which provided a theoretical basis for selection of exhalation mode.

BACKGROUND:Deferoxamine mesylate is a potential anti-osteoporosis drug with iron chelation,vascular regeneration,and antioxidant effects.Recent studies have shown that the application of deferoxamine mesylate can be extended to the field of tissue regeneration engineering. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether deferoxamine mesylate can promote the repair effect of iron overload osteoporotic rats after bone grafting for mandibular bone defects by simulating the state of iron accumulation in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis with high iron intervention in osteoporotic rats. METHODS:An iron accumulation ovariectomized osteoporosis model was firstly constructed.The model group underwent bilateral ovariectomy,and the intraperitoneal injection of ferric ammonium citrate(90 mg/kg,twice a week,for 11 weeks)was started in the 2nd week,while the sham-operated group had some fat around the ovaries removed and was given an equal amount of saline for 11 weeks.After the successful modeling,the experimental rats were divided into sham-operated group(n=6),high iron ovariectomtized group(n=6)and high iron ovariectomized deferoxamine mesylate treatment group(deferoxamine mesylate group,n=6).Bone defects of 5 mm in diameter were established in the rat's bilateral mandibles and implanted with Bio-Oss bone powder.Intraperitoneal injection of deferoxamine mesylate(100 mg/kg,3 times a week)was started on postoperative day 4 in the deferoxamine mesylate group,and equal volume of saline was given in the sham-operated and high iron ovariectomized groups.The bone samples of the mandible,liver and blood were taken at 2 and 12 weeks after bone grafting for Prussian blue staining of the jaw and liver and ELISA detection of serum ferritin to detect iron levels in various body tissues;hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining were performed to observe inflammatory cell infiltration and early osteogenesis in the bone defect area;tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining was performed to observe osteoclast differentiation;ELISA was performed to detect serum calcitonin and type I collagen C-terminal peptide levels;and Micro-CT and hematoxylin-eosin staining were performed to observe osteogenesis in the middle and late stages. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of tibial trabeculae was reduced and the trabeculae were sparsely arranged in the high iron ovariectomized group.Iron levels in the liver,jaw bone and serum were significantly higher in the high iron ovariectomized group than the sham-operated group at 2 weeks after bone grafting,while the iron levels were significantly decreased after deferoxamine mesylate intervention(P＜0.05).In the early stage of bone defect repair,more inflammatory cell infiltration,less new bone matrix and less type I collagen fiber production were observed in the high iron ovariectomized group than in the sham-operated group(P＜0.05);after deferoxamine mesylate treatment,inflammatory cell infiltration was reduced,a small amount of new bone matrix was produced and collagen fibers increased significantly(P＜0.05).In the middle and late stages of bone defect repair,Micro-CT results showed a reduction in new bone production in the high iron ovariectomized group compared with the sham-operated group and increased new bone matrix after deferoxamine mesylate treatment(P＜0.05).Compared with the sham-operated group,the osteoclast number,serum calcitonin level,and serum type I collagen C-terminal peptide level were increased in the high-iron ovariectomized group,while the osteoclast number was decreased and bone metabolic indexes were improved after treatment with deferoxamine mesylate.To conclude,in ovariectomized rats with high iron intervention,elevated iron levels can be seen in multiple tissues,accompanied by reduced new bone production in the mandibular bone defect area.Deferoxamine mesylate can improve bone metabolism and inhibit osteoclast activity by removing iron deposits in tissues,improve bone formation in iron-accumulated osteoporotic rats,and promote bone healing in the mandibular bone defect area.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of discharge preparation service based on theory of goal attainment on patients with cervical spinal cord injury.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinic data of 60 patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted to Zhengzhou Orthopedics Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022, including 49 males and 11 females, aged 23-79 years [(52.2±13.5)years]. Patients were all treated with cervical decompression fusion and internal fixation. Patients admitted from January 2017 to December 2019 were treated with conventional nursing intervention (conventional nursing group, n=30) and patients admitted from January 2020 to December 2022 were treated with discharge preparation service based on theory of goal attainment (discharge preparation service group, n=30). The readiness for hospital discharge of the two groups was compared using the Chinese version of Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) at 4 hours before discharge. The degree of cervical spinal cord dysfunction of the two groups were compared using Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score before intervention, at discharge and at 6 months after discharge. The complication and unplanned readmission rates of the two groups were compared at 6 months after discharge. Results:All the patients were followed up for 6 months. At 4 hours before discharge, the scores of the three parameters of RHDS containing personal status, adaptability and anticipatory support and the total score of the discharge preparation service group were (20.9±3.5)points, (35.9±2.2)points, (30.4±3.0)points and (87.1±7.8)points respectively, higher than those of the conventional nursing group [(16.2±1.7)points, (32.5±2.2)points, (26.3±2.1)points and (75.0±5.6)points respectively] ( P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the JOA score of the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). The JOA scores of the discharge preparation service group at discharge and at 6 months after discharge were (11.8±1.7)points and (13.8±1.5)points respectively, higher than those of the conventional nursing group [(10.3±1.8)points and (11.6±1.9)points respectively] ( P<0.01). At 6 months after discharge, the complication rate of the discharge preparation service group was 6.7% (2/30), lower than that of the conventional nursing group [36.7% (11/30)] ( P<0.05). The unplanned readmission rate of the discharge preparation service group was 3.3% (1/30), lower than that of the conventional nursing group [23.3% (7/30)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For patients with cervical spinal cord injury, discharge preparation service based on theory of goal attainment can improve the discharge readiness, promote spinal functional recovery and reduce the complication and unplanned readmission rates.

Fluorescent surgical navigation has been widely used in liver and biliary surgery, including imaging of tumors, bile ducts, blood vessels, and other small lesions that cannot be identified by traditional methods. This helps surgeons obtain visual information during surgery and facilitates intraoperative decision-making. However, there are still many controversies in pancreatic tumor surgery, which is also the reason for the limited application of this technology in the pancreas at present. This article first summarizes the current status of the application of this technology in pancreatic tumor surgery. Based on our own experiences, we summarize the current problems of fluorescence imaging technology and propose corresponding optimization strategies. Finally, we look forward to its application prospects, hoping to provide a reference for the future application of fluorescence imaging technology in pancreatic tumors.

Objective To assess the clinical significance of extra-adipose capsule route and intra-adipose capsule route for the resection of benign adrenal tumors with retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy(RLA),and to explore the selection of route based on the mayo adhesive probability(MAP)scoring system.Methods Clinical data of 102 patients who received RLA and pathologically diagnosed as benign adrenal tumors during Feb.2015 and Dec.2020 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were retrospectively reviewed,and MAP scores were assessed with the preoperative tomography images.The gross and MAP score stratified perioperative outcomes between extra-adipose capsule route(classical group,n=56)and intra-adipose capsule route(modified group,n=46)were compared respectively.Results All procedures were successfully completed with no conversion to open surgery and with no need for transfusion.There were no significant differences in operation time[(102.1±26.3)min vs.(110.2±32.1)min,P=0.17]and intraoperative blood loss[(53.5±34.0)mL vs.(61.1±48.4)mL,P=0.35]between the two groups.Subgroup analysis based on MAP score showed that for low risk patients(MAP score 0-2),operative results were comparable between the two groups,but for high risk patients(MAP score 3-5),the operation time was significantly shorter[(114.7±20.7)min vs.(137.2±23.0)min,P＜0.01],and blood loss was significantly less[(52.7±33.1)mL vs.(92.8±49.7)mL,P=0.01]in the classical group than in the modified group.Conclusion RLA could be performed with either surgical routes safely and effectively.MAP scoring system could be an effective tool for preoperative surgical route planning.Compared with the modified route,classical route is more suitable for patients with high MAP score to achieve better operative outcomes.
