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 investigate the anti-tumor effect of the Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor ACY-738 and its underlying mechanisms in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) .Methods:The expression of HDAC6 in various tumors and DLBCL was analyzed using bioinformatics. DLBCL cells were treated with different concentrations of ACY-738. Cell viability, DNA synthesis, and clone formation were assessed by CCK-8 assay, EdU assay, and soft agar assay, respectively. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by fluorescence microscopy. Morphological changes in cells were observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mitochondrial ROS levels and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. The expression levels of apoptosis-related and autophagy-related proteins were detected by Western blotting.Results:HDAC6 was highly expressed in DLBCL ( P<0.05). ACY-738 inhibited the proliferation, DNA synthesis, and colony formation of DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner ( P<0.05). Treatment with ACY-738 increased intracellular and mitochondrial ROS levels in DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner ( P<0.05). TEM revealed that after ACY-738 treatment, mitochondria in cells were swollen and ruptured, mitochondrial cristae were reduced or absent, autolysosomes appeared, and features characteristic of apoptosis were observed. Western blotting showed that after ACY-738 treatment, the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 was downregulated, while the expression of Cleaved-PARP, Cleaved caspase-3, and BAX was upregulated ( P<0.05). The expression of autophagy-related proteins Atg7, Atg3, LC3B, and P62 was downregulated, and the expression of acetylated P53 protein was upregulated ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The HDAC6 inhibitor ACY-738 induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis and autophagy in DLBCL cells by acetylating P53, thereby inhibiting DLBCL cell proliferation.

Clamshell incision is widely used in the surgical resection of complex mediastinal tumors, but it is also controversial. Its advantages are the full exposure of the field of vision and the huge operating space, while its disadvantages are the destruction of chest wall muscles and respiratory function impairment. At present, there is a lack of norms for the selection and application of Clamshell incisions, and the definition of complex mediastinal tumors is ambiguous and the dimensions are single. Therefore, this article reviews the literature and combines practical experience to systematically summarize the application progress of Clamshell incisions in the surgical resection of complex mediastinal tumors, with the aim of providing guidance for clinical work.

Objective:To explore the effects of miR-125b on the proliferation, invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cells by targeting SMYD2 signaling pathway.Methods:The expression of miRNA-125b in Aspc-1 and BxPC-3 lines of pancreatic cancer cells were detected. miRDB, ENCORI and TargetScan databases were used to predict the potential target genes of miRNA-125b. The downstream target genes of miRNA-125b were identified by qPCR assay and double luciferase reporter gene assay. Western blot analysis was performed to detect SMYD2 protein expression after transfection with miRNA-125b inhibitor. EdU staining, Annexin V-FITC/PI assay and Annexin V-FITC/PI assay were used to detect the effects of miRNA-125b inhibitor transfection and simultaneous transfection of miRNA-125b and SMYD2 inhibitor on cell proliferation, clonogenesis and apoptosis.Results:The expression level of miRNA-125b in pancreatic cancer cell lines was higher than that in normal pancreatic duct cells ( P<0.05). The downstream target gene of miRNA-125b was identified as SMYD2 by qPCR assay and double luciferase reporter gene assay. The expression of SMYD2 protein in miR-125b inhibitor group was higher than that in NC group ( P<0.01). EdU cell proliferation assay showed that the number of miRNA-125b positive cells in inhibitor group was lower than that in NC group and Inhibitor NC group ( P<0.05). The number of clones in miR-125b inhibitor+si-SMYD2 group was more than that in miR-125b inhibitor group ( P<0.01). Annexin V-FITC/PI assay showed that the apoptosis number of cell cells in miR-125b inhibitor+si-SMYD2 group was lower than that in miR-125b inhibitor group ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:miRNA-125b is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cells, and can directly affect the expression of SMYD2 gene, thereby promoting the proliferation and inhibiting the apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells.

Objective:To explore the factors associated with the efficacy of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of neuropathic pain (NP) following spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods:This was a retrospective study of 89 SCI survivors with NP receiving high-frequency rTMS. Those with a ≥30% reduction in their Numeric Rating Scales (NRS) scores after 2 weeks of treatment were termed Responders ( n=36), with the others classified as non-responders ( n=53). Demographic data (gender, education level, age), SCI characteristics (injury etiology, injury severity, neurological injury level, injury duration), NP characteristics (pain type, pain intensity, analgesic use), functional assessment (Modified Ashworth Scale score, Spinal Cord Independence Measure score, Modified Barthel Index score, American Spinal Injury Association motor/sensory score) were collected. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used for variable selection, followed by binary logistic regression to identify factors associated with treatment efficacy. Results:Among the 89 patients, 36 (40.4%) were Responders to high-frequency rTMS. Binary logistic regression revealed that those with a cervical spinal cord injury and/or spasticity and women were more likely to respond to high-frequency rTMS.Conclusions:Female gender, cervical spinal cord injury, and spasticity are independent factors predicting rTMS efficacy in treating SCI, with spasticity demonstrating the strongest association.
