Objective:Comparative study on the application value of bronchial ultrasound combined with different biopsy methods under thin-layer CT navigation in the diagnosis of malignant peripheral lung lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis of patients with suspected malignant peripheral lung lesions identified by chest CT from January 2019 to September 2024 at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, and Xianyang Central Hospital, who underwent routine bronchoscopy with negative results (209 cases). These patients were diagnosed using bronchial ultrasound under thin-layer CT navigation. The cases were divided into a cryobiopsy group (127 cases) and a conventional forceps biopsy group based on the biopsy method (82 cases). The diagnostic rates of the two groups were statistically analyzed, along with factors influencing the diagnostic rates. The tissue size obtained from both groups was compared, and the occurrence of complications was summarized.Results:This study included 209 cases with 216 peripheral lung lesions. A total of 209 cases with 210 lesions were successfully located through thin-slice CT guidance, resulting in a guiding success rate of 97.2% (210/216). Among the 130 lesions in the cryobiopsy group, 78 lesions were diagnosed as lung malignancies, with a diagnostic rate of 82.1% (64/78) for cryobiopsy in lung malignant lesions. In the forceps biopsy group, 46 of the 86 lesions were diagnosed as lung malignancies, with a diagnostic rate of 87.0% (40/46) for forceps biopsy in lung malignant lesions. There was no statistically significant difference between the two diagnostic rates ( P=0.473). The average longest diameter of tissue obtained by cryobiopsy was (6.11±0.23) mm, while the average longest diameter of tissue obtained by forceps biopsy was (1.58±0.43) mm. There was a statistically significant difference in tissue longest diameter between the two groups ( P＜0.001). When the distance from the bronchoscopic tip to the lesion was ≥3 cm and the most distal bronchus visible under bronchoscopy was ≤5th generation, the diagnostic rate of forceps biopsy was higher [83.3%(25/30) and 94.1%(32/34)] than that of cryobiopsy [79.3%(23/29) and 78.0%(46/59)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P＜0.05). Regarding complications, one case (1.3%, 1/78) of clinically significant complications occurred in the cryobiopsy group, while no complications occurred in the forceps biopsy group. Conclusions:Under thin-layer CT navigation, bronchial ultrasound combined with different biopsy methods demonstrates a high diagnostic rate for malignant peripheral lung lesions and is safe to operate. Cryobiopsy allows for the collection of larger tissue specimens.

Objective:To explore the safety, economic benefits, and clinical application effect of the new practical patent open window central venous catheter combination dressing (Patent No.ZL 202121652858.8).Methods:From October 2022 to October 2023, a randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 120 tumor patients in Yunnan Cancer Hospital with indwelling central venous catheters who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into three groups at a ratio of 1∶1∶1 with random digit table, with 40 patients in each group: control group 1, control group 2, and the experimental group. In control group 1, Smith & Nephew IV 3000 dressing was used, in control group 2, 3M transparent dressing was used; and in the experimental group, the self - developed fenestrated central venous catheter combined dressing by the researchers was used for catheter maintenance. The skin surface bacterial colonization, the occurrence of medical adhesive-related skin injuries, catheter maintenance time, and maintenance costs were compared among the three groups.Results:In control group 1, there were 21 males and 19 females, with an average age of (51.53 ± 12.01) years. In control group 2, there were 22 males and 18 females, with an average age of (54.00 ± 11.03) years. In the experimental group, there were 19 males and 21 females, with an average age of (53.60 ± 9.41) years. During the 72 - hour observation period, 1, 3, and 2 cases of bacterial colonization occurred in control group 1, control group 2, and the experimental group respectively, and there was no significant difference among the three groups ( χ2 = 1.10, P = 0.577). No medical adhesive - related skin injury occurred in the experimental group, and there was a significant difference compared with the 4 cases in control group 2 ( χ2 = 4.21, P = 0.040). The average catheter maintenance time and maintenance cost in the experimental group were (15.20 ± 1.56) minutes and (8.11 ± 1.35) yuan respectively. Compared with (21.05 ± 3.31) minutes and (13.16 ± 1.03) yuan in control group 1, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 5.85, 5.05, both P<0.001). Compared with (21.08 ± 3.00) minutes and (15.17 ± 1.63) yuan in control group 2, the differences were also statistically significant ( t = 5.88, 7.06, both P<0.001). Conclusions:The open-window central venous catheter combination dressing designed in this study can effectively reduce the incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injury, and also has a better role in saving maintenance time and reducing maintenance costs, especially for patients who need repeated dressing changes at the puncture point for treatment with the advantages of, convenience, economy, speed, firm fixation and safety.

Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of central nervous system (CNS) invasion in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and construct a risk prediction model for CNS invasion. METHODS: Clinical data of 395 patients with PTCL diagnosed and treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The median follow-up time of 395 PTCL patients was 24(1-143) months. There were 13 patients diagnosed CNS invasion, and the incidence was 3.3%. The risk of CNS invasion varied according to pathological subtype. The incidence of CNS invasion in patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) was significantly higher than in patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) (P <0.05). The median overall survival was significantly shorter in patients with CNS invasion than in those without CNS involvement, with a median survival time of 2.4(0.6-127) months after diagnosis of CNS invasion. The results of univariate and multivariate analysis showed that more than 1 extranodal involvement (HR=4.486, 95%CI : 1.166-17.264, P =0.029), ALCL subtype (HR=9.022, 95%CI : 2.289-35.557, P =0.002) and ECOG PS >1 (HR=15.890, 95%CI : 4.409-57.262, P <0.001) were independent risk factors for CNS invasion in PTCL patients. Each of these risk factors was assigned a value of 1 point and a new prediction model was constructed. It could stratify the patients into three distinct groups: low-risk group (0-1 point), intermediate-risk group (2 points) and high-risk group (3 points). The 1-year cumulative incidence of CNS invasion in the high-risk group was as high as 50.0%. Further evaluation of the model showed good discrimination and accuracy, and the consistency index was 0.913 (95%CI : 0.843-0.984). CONCLUSION The new model shows a precise risk assessment for CNS invasion prediction, while its specificity and sensitivity need further data validation.

OBJECTIVE: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sensitive to ferroptosis, a new form of programmed cell death that occurs in most tumor types. However, the mechanism through which ferroptosis modulates HCC remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the oncogenic role and prognostic value of FANCD2 and provide novel insights into the prognostic assessment and prediction of immunotherapy. METHODS: Using clinicopathological parameters and bioinformatic techniques, we comprehensively examined the expression of FANCD2 macroscopically and microcosmically. We conducted univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify the prognostic value of FANCD2 in HCC and elucidated the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the involvement of FANCD2 in oncogenesis by promoting iron-related death. RESULTS: FANCD2 was significantly upregulated in digestive system cancers with abundant immune infiltration. As an independent risk factor for HCC, a high FANCD2 expression level was associated with poor clinical outcomes and response to immune checkpoint blockade. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that FANCD2 was mainly involved in the cell cycle and CYP450 metabolism. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to comprehensively elucidate the oncogenic role of FANCD2. FANCD2 has a tumor-promoting aspect in the digestive system and acts as an independent risk factor in HCC; hence, it has recognized value for predicting tumor aggressiveness and prognosis and may be a potential biomarker for poor responsiveness to immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the types and mechanisms of microglial cell death induced by interaction between palmitic acid(PA)and lipopolysaccharide(LPS).Methods BV-2 microglial cells were divided into three groups for apoptosis research,BSA group,PA treatment group,and staurosporine(STA)group.They were further divided into four groups for necrosis research,BSA group,BSA+inhibitor group,PA group,and PA+inhibitor group.Western blotting was conducted to assess the expression levels of key proteins involved in apoptosis and necrosis pathways.The effect of PA on microglial cells was validated through feeding a high-fat diet to Institute of Cancer Research(ICR)mice.Results Apoptotic microglia were observed in both BSA group and PA group,PA significantly induced the activation of caspase-3,caspase-7,and poly ADP-ribose polymerase(PARP).However,compared to the BSA group,the level of activated Caspase-7 in the STA group did not change significantly.Inhibition of ferroptosis,necroptosis,or autophagy did not protect against PA-induced cell damage,while the Caspase-11 inhibitor,wedelolactone(WE),significantly improved PA induced cell damage.This study also found that PA could promote LPS entry into microglial cells and induce pyroptosis.This phenomenon and the protective effect of WE were further confirmed in a high-fat diet mouse model through immunofluorescent staining and Western blotting.Conclusion PA induces apoptosis and pyroptosis in microglial cells,while simultaneously promoting LPS entry into microglial cells and inducing pyroptosis.
