Background and Aims:Laparoscopic anatomical liver segmentectomy has been widely applied in the surgical treatment of hepatic tumors due to its safety,feasibility,and effectiveness.The combination of indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence-guided positive staining and intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasound has become an important technique for precision liver resection,particularly in accurately delineating hepatic segment/subsegment boundaries and achieving negative surgical margins.This study reports a case of anatomical resection of the right posterior segment and the dorsal subsegment of the right anterior segment of the liver,guided by laparoscopic ultrasound combined with ICG positive staining,to evaluate its clinical feasibility and outcomes.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on an elderly female patient with a hepatic space-occupying lesion who underwent laparoscopic anatomical resection of the right posterior segment and right anterior dorsal subsegment using intraoperative ultrasound combined with ICG fluorescence-guided positive staining.Results:Preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction revealed that the tumor was located in the right posterior segment and right anterior dorsal subsegment.Intraoperatively,under laparoscopic ultrasound guidance,the anterior-ventral branch of the right portal vein was punctured and injected with ICG to achieve precise staining of the right anterior-ventral subsegment.The resection was performed along the fluorescent boundary,enabling accurate anatomical removal of the targeted liver segments.Intraoperative blood loss was approximately 100 mL without transfusion.Pathology confirmed a moderately differentiated small-duct type intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with negative margins(R0 resection).The patient recovered well and was discharged on postoperative day 19.Follow-up CT at 6 months showed no evidence of recurrence.Conclusion:During anatomical resection of the right posterior segment and right anterior dorsal subsegment of the liver,laparoscopic ultrasound combined with ICG fluorescence-guided positive staining can accurately define segmental boundaries,enhance surgical safety,and ensure complete tumor resection,thus offering significant value in achieving R0 resection.

Obesity, as a chronic recurrent disease, has become a major public health challenge in China. To implement the requirements of the Healthy China Initiative (2019—2030), under domestic guidelines or consensus statements on overweight and obesity, and in alignment with the latest scientific advances globally, the Quality control protocol for adult overweight and obesity screening in health management (examination) institutions (2025 edition) was developed. This protocol was drafted by the Health Management Center of Shanghai Changzheng Hospital and formulated through multiple rounds of deliberation by experts in China’s health examination quality control field. The protocol establishes unified standards for screening facilities, personnel qualifications, and measurement or testing procedures. It defines specific screening items, outlines a standardized screening pathway, and sets requirements for the final medical review, ensuring the scientific validity, effectiveness, and safety of the screening process. The implementation of this protocol will enhance the consistency of weight management practices for adults across health examination institutions and strengthen the quality control of overweight and obesity screening programs.

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound imaging characteristics combined with clinical indicators in assessing the prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for patients who underwent pancreatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) from September 2017 to October 2023 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and were diagnosed with PDAC based on pathological findings. Various parameters were recorded, including CA19-9 levels, tumor size, location, morphologic features, echogenicity, presence of internal cystic components, dilatation of the main pancreatic duct, peripheral vascular invasion, CEUS characteristics, presence or absence of liver metastasis, and treatment methods. In April 2024, patient survival information was obtained through telephone follow-up or review of medical records. Based on the results of the cox regression model analysis, a nomogram model of the risk of death was developed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model. The calibration curves were plotted to evaluate the accuracy of the model, and clinical decision curves were used to evaluate the clinical benefit of the model.Results:This study included a total of 207 patients with PDAC. As of April 2024, 71 patients were alive and 136 died, with a median survival time of 14 months (95% CI: 12 -17). Multivariate analysis confirmed that the elevated CA19-9 ( HR=1.689, 95% CI: 1.102-2.588), tumor size >4 cm ( HR=1.641, 95% CI: 1.159-2.322), taller-than-wide shapes ( HR=1.450, 95% CI: 1.019-2.065), incomplete hypo-enhancement ( HR=1.618, 95% CI: 1.100-2.380), and liver metastasis ( HR=1.687, 95% CI: 1.175-2.423) were independent risk factors for survival in patients with PDAC. A nomogram model was further constructed for 6-month, 12-month and 3-year survival of patients with PDAC. The areas under the ROC curve were 0.679, 0.705 and 0.815, respectively. The calibration curves suggested that the model was more accurate, and the clinical decision curves showed that the model had a better clinical benefit. Conclusion:The combined use of ultrasound imaging characteristics and clinical indicators could effectively predict the prognosis of PDAC patients. Specifically, tumor size >4 cm, taller-than-wide shapes, incomplete hypo-enhancement, elevated CA19-9, and the presence of liver metastasis are correlated with poorer survival outcomes. The nomogram model constructed on the basis of these factors can be used to assess the survival of patients with PDAC.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of retrograde tibial intramedullary nail (RTN) combined with less invasive stabilization system (LISS) in the treatment of distal femoral fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 11 patients with distal femoral fractures who underwent RTN combined with LISS locking plate treatment at the 909th Hospital from June 2021 to December 2022. There were 5 males and 6 females, with an average age of 56.5±17.5 years. The fracture types were AO/OTA 33A2 in 2 cases, A3 in 2 cases, C1 in 2 cases, and C2 in 2 cases. There were 3 cases of periprosthetic femoral fractures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), all classified as Rorabeck type Ⅱ. They were treated with retrograde intramedullary nailing of the tibia combined with a minimally invasive lateral internal fixation system. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, full weight-bearing time, femorotibial angle, range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, and complications were recorded.Results:The operation was successfully completed in all 11 cases. The operation time was 98.3±9.0 min (range 83-115 min), and the intraoperative blood loss was 167.8±24.3 ml (range 120-210 ml). All 11 cases were followed up for 11.0±1.9 months (range 9-15 months). The healing time of 11 cases was 5.3±0.8 months (range 4-6 months) after operation. The time of complete weight-bearing activity after operation was 55.7±6.5 d (range 46-67 d). At the last follow-up, the femoral-tibial angle of 11 cases was 171.2°±1.8° (range 169°-174°), the ROM of knee joint was 129.5°±4.7° (range 120°-135°), and the HSS score was 86.8±6.9 points (range 69-95 points). There were no major complications except for one case of superficial infection of surgical incision after operation.Conclusion:RTN combined with lateral LISS locking plate showed good clinical effect with the advantages of less trauma, reliable fixation, rapid recovery, less postoperative complications.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of ultra-pure double-lumen dialyzer paired with online hemodiafiltration (PHF) on the microinflammatory state in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:A total of 112 maintenance hemodialysis patients admitted to the Huadu District People′s Hospital of Guangzhou from January 2020 to December 2023 were prospectively enrolled. Using a parallel control and before-after control method, the patients were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the odd and even numbers of their enrollment sequence, with 56 cases in each group. The observation group received PHF during hemodiafiltration, while the control group received hemodiafiltration with a high-flux dialyzer. Venous blood samples were collected from both groups before treatment and 6 months after treatment to detect the levels of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon (IFN)-γ. The dialysis efficacy of the two groups was compared by evaluating the changes in microinflammatory index levels.Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in serum levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and hs-CRP between the two groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, various inflammatory indicators in the observation group were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in inflammatory indicators in the control group before and after treatment (all P>0.05). Moreover, there were significant differences in inflammatory indicators between the observation group and the control group after treatment ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Ultra-pure double-lumen dialyzer paired with online hemodiafiltration can significantly improve the inflammatory state in hemodialysis patients.

Objective: To investigate the effects of polydatin on a high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) mouse model and hepatoma G2(HepG2) cell model, and to reveal its potential molecular mechanisms. Methods: Thirty 6-week-old male SPF C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal diet group and a high-fat diet group. After the NAFLD mouse model was established in the high-fat diet group, they were further divided into a model group and a polydatin treatment group. The polydatin treatment group was administered polydatin by gavage at a dose of 250 mg/(kg·d) for 10 weeks, during which body weight was monitored and oral glucose and insulin tolerance tests were performed. At the end of the experiment, a series of tests to evaluate the effects of polydatin on mouse liver weight, blood lipids, liver lipid accumulation, and liver injury markers were performed. The expression of G0/G1 switch gene 2(G0S2) and adipose triglyceride lipase(ATGL) was measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot, and gene expression was further verified using immunohistochemical staining. The effects of polydatin on HepG2 cell activity was assessed by CCK-8 assay, lipid accumulation was observed by oil red O staining, and the expression of G0S2 and ATGL was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results: Polydatin significantly reduced the body weight, liver weight, and serum and liver tissue levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), triglyceride(TG), and total cholesterol (TC) in mice (P < 0. 05) , al⁃leviated pathological liver damage , decreased G0S2 expression (P < 0. 05) , and increased ATGL expression (P <0. 05) . At the cellular level , polydatin reduced lipid droplet accumulation , improved lipid metabolism , decreased G0S2 expression ( P < 0. 05 ) , and increased ATGL expression ( P < 0. 05 ) . Even in cells with knockdown of G0S2 , polydatin still promoted fat decomposition (P < 0. 01) . Conclusion Polydatin promotes hepatic fat break⁃down by regulating the expression of G0S2 and ATGL , helping to alleviate metabolic disorders and liver damage in the NAFLD mouse model caused by a high⁃fat diet , offering a new strategy for treating NAFLD.

The accurate segmentation of the right ventricle is crucial for cardiac disease research,but its low contrast with surrounding tissues and complex structure make segmentation challenging.To address these issues,a dual-encoder segmentation model combining nested multi-scale feature fusion and feature repurposing modules is proposed.Specifically,the nested multi-scale feature fusion module captures boundary detail features through multi-scale dilated convolutions and reduces the semantic gap between the encoder and decoder using short skip connections,while the feature repurposing module enhances feature extraction ability by leveraging fine-grained features from shallow layers.Ablation experiments show that the inclusion of these two modules improves the Dice similarity coefficient of U-Net by 3.14%.On the ACDC dataset,the proposed model achieves a Dice similarity coefficient of 90.31%and a mean Hausdorff distance of 5.21 mm,outperforming other comparative models.Additionally,its generalization ability is validated on the M&Ms dataset.Experimental results demonstrate the excellent performance and robustness of the proposed model in right ventricle segmentation.
