Objective To explore the imaging characteristics of lung cancers associated with cystic airspaces (LCCA) and the effects of different treatment regimens. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and radiological data of LCCA patients who underwent surgical resection and pathological confirmation at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from 2016 to 2023. The relationship between various radiological classifications and clinical pathology was studied. Based on the postoperative adjuvant treatment follow-up results, the effects of different treatment regimens were analyzed. Results A total of 147 patients were included, including 90 males and 57 females, with a median age of 63 (55, 70) years. There were 21 patients of imaging typeⅠ, 50 patients of typeⅡ, 57 patients of type Ⅲ, and 19 patients of type Ⅳ. The lobulation sign or burr sign of typeⅠcyst walls (P=0.004), and intracystic septa (P=0.030) were more commonly seen in the high-aggressiveness group. The components of the cyst walls or nodules of types Ⅰ-Ⅳ in the high-aggressiveness group were mostly solid or sub-solid (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that subsolid cyst wall (OR=4.734, P=0.023), solid cyst wall (OR=97.972, P<0.001), and the lobulation sign or burr sign of the cyst wall (OR=13.215, P=0.024) were independent risk factors for aggressiveness. Fifty-eight patients received adjuvant therapy after surgery, including 22 in the chemotherapy group, 15 in the targeted therapy group, and 21 in the combined therapy group. The progression-free survival of the combined therapy group was better than the other two groups (P=0.045). Conclusion There is a correlation between the imaging features of LCCA and pathological aggressiveness. Compared to postoperative targeted therapy or chemotherapy alone, postoperative chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy can improve the progression-free survival of LCCA patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of 2-dodecyl-6-methoxy-2，5-diene-1，4-cyclohexanedione （DMDD）， an active component from Averrhoa carambola root， on myocardial injury in diabetic mice based on the nuclear receptor coactivator 4/ferritin heavy chain 1/autophagy-related protein 8 （NCOA4/FTH1/ATG8） axis. METHODS The successfully modeled diabetic mice were randomly divided into model group and DMDD low-， medium-， and high-dose （12.5， 25， 50 mg/kg） groups， while an additional non-modeled control group was established， with 6 mice in each group. Each group received the corresponding drug solution or an equal volume of normal saline intragastically once daily for 21 consecutive days. After the administration， the levels of fasting blood glucose （FBG）， serum lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB （CK-MB） were measured. Myocardial pathological changes， degree of fibrosis， and myocardial cell ultrastructure were observed. Myocardial cell death index and NCOA4 protein positive index were detected. The protein expression levels of NCOA4， FTH1， ATG8， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） in cardiac tissue were measured. RESULTS Compared with model group， each DMDD group showed significant alleviation of cardiac pathological injury and varying degrees of improvement in the myocardial cell ultrastructure. The FBG and serum LDH and CK-MB levels， the myocardial cell death index and NCOA4 protein positive index，the protein expression levels of NCOA4， FTH1， and ATG8 in cardiac tissue were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.001）， while the protein expression levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were significantly increased （ P ＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS DMDD can reduce blood glucose levels， alleviate myocardial histopathological injury， and inhibit cell death in diabetic mice. The mechanism is associated with inhibiting excessive activation of the NCOA4/FTH1/ATG8 axis and reducing ferritinophagy.

Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes （PNS） are immune-mediated disorders of the nervous system triggered by cross-immune response induced by tumor-associated antigens. Since high-risk paraneoplastic antibodies are highy associated with malignancies， they have an important clinical value in the early recognition， tumor screening， and prognostic assessment of PNS. The diagnostic criteria updated in 2021 further refined the classification of high-risk antibodies and clarified their value in risk assessment. This article systematically reviews the clinical spectrum， tumor associations， and immunopathogenic mechanisms of neurological disorders associated with the high-risk paraneoplastic antibodies such as anti-Hu， anti-Ri， anti-CV2， anti-Ma2， anti-amphiphysin， anti-Yo， anti-PCA2， anti-Tr， anti-SOX1， and anti-KLHL11 antibodies. Immunotherapy combined with active control of primary tumor is the main treatment strategy for such disease， but with a limited overall therapeutic effect， and early identification is of particular importance. In the era of the wide application of immune checkpoint inhibitors （ICIs）， the risk of ICIs in inducing or exacerbating should be taken seriously in clinical practice. Mechanistic research， multimodal diagnostic approaches， and individualized treatment strategies should be enhanced in the future to improve the prognosis of patients.

ObjectiveTo design a "roly-poly" style interactive home-based hand function training device based on the principle of self-stabilization and recovery in light of the characteristics of post-stroke hand dysfunction and the current scarcity of home-based hand function training devices; and explore the feasibility and clinical value of this device in hand function rehabilitation training for stroke patients. MethodsThis study adopted a phased research design consisting of two stages: device development and clinical validation. At the first stage, focusing on the principle of the tumbler's automatic return to center, combined with the clinical needs of hand function rehabilitation training for stroke patients, the development of a home-based interactive hand function training device was completed, and the application and authorization of a utility model patent were obtained. At the second stage, 30 stroke patients with post-stroke hand dysfunction hospitalized at Beijing Bo'ai Hospital from May to October, 2025 were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and experimental group (n = 15). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy, the control group added routine hand function training every evening, and the experimental group added hand function training using the device developed in this study every evening, for four weeks. The grip strength, lateral pinch strength, finger pad pinch strength, three-finger pinch strength and wrist joint range of motion (dorsal-flexion, palm-flexion, radial deviation and ulnar deviation) were measured before and after intervention. The upper limb and hand motor function was assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), and the modified Barthel Index (MBI) was used to evaluate activities of daily living (ADL). ResultsA self-stabilizing hemispherical hand functional rehabilitation device was developed and granted a utility model patent. After intervention, the grip strength, lateral pinch strength, finger pad pinch strength, three-finger pinch strength, wrist joint range of motion, and FMA and MBI scores significantly improved in both groups (|t| > 5.683, P < 0.05); except for the score of MBI (P > 0.05), all the other indicators were better in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.633, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe self-stabilizing, closed-loop home-based functional hand interaction training device designed in this study effectively improves hand grip, pinching function and wrist joint range of motion of stroke patients, significantly enhancing upper limb and hand motor function, and demonstrates feasibility for home-based hand rehabilitation training. However, the device does not provide notable additional improvements in patients' ADL, necessitating further optimization to enhance its clinical application value.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant tumor in women worldwide,in which,triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)is highly invasive and metastatic.In recent years,the incidence rate of TNBC has gradually increased and shown a trend of younger age.With the in-depth research on the molecular mechanism of breast cancer,neuropilin-1(NRP-1),a transmembrane protein,has been found to be associated with metastasis and prognosis of breast cancer,particularly TNBC.Therefore,NRP-1 has become a promising target for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.The expression and distribution of NRP-1 in breast cancer can be detected by nuclear medicine,optical imaging and multimodal imaging methods in a non-invasive,real-time and accurate manner,which has significant application value in the early diagnosis,staging,treatment,and prognosis evaluation of breast cancer.Nuclear medicine probes specifically target tumor cells or tissues by combining radionuclides(e.g.,68Ga and 99mTc)with specific molecular ligands,and the signal is captured using positron emission tomography(PET)or single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT),allowing for sensitive diagnosis of breast cancer.With the development of medical imaging and other interdisciplinary subjects,the NRP-1 targeted multimodal molecular probe[68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-K(Cy5)DKPPR combined the high sensitivity of PET with the high resolution advantage of near-infrared fluorescence(NIRF)to achieve precise diagnosis of breast cancer and provide real-time fluorescence navigation during surgery,enhancing the accuracy of tumor tissue identification and excision.In this paper,the advantages and disadvantages of NRP-1 targeted molecular probes in the diagnosis of breast cancer were systematically compared,and the application scope and latest research progress of various probes in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer were described,in order to provide reference for the development and clinical application of breast cancer targeted molecular probes.

Objective To compare the effects of desflurane inhalation anesthesia versus propofol total intravenous anesthesia on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing endoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma resection,and to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing anesthetic management in this surgical population.Methods This single-center,prospective,randomized controlled trial enrolled 112 patients scheduled for endoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma resection,who were randomly assigned to either the desflurane group(n=56)or the propofol group(n=56).The desflurane group received desflurane[0.7-1.0 minimum alveolar concentration(MAC)]combined with remifentanil for anesthesia maintenance,whereas the propofol group received propofol(4-6 mg·kg-1·h-1)with remifentanil.The primary outcome was defined as the time from discontinuation of anesthetics to achieving an Aldrete score of 9.Secondary outcomes included emergence time,extubation time,and incidences of postoperative agitation and vomiting.Results Patients receiving desflurane achieved an Aldrete score of 9 significantly faster than those in the propofol group(13.0 min vs 16.5 min,P=0.003).Similarly,both emergence time(14.0 min vs 16.5 min,P=0.009)and extubation time(13.0 min vs 16.5 min,P=0.003)were significantly shorter in the desflurane group.However,the desflurane group had higher incidences of postoperative agitation(17.9%vs 3.6%,P=0.015)and vomiting(19.6%vs 5.4%,P=0.022).No significant difference was observed in severe agitation rates or 24 h postoperative recovery quality[Quality of Recovery-15(QoR-15)scores]between groups.Conclusion Desflurane anesthesia significantly accelerates postoperative recovery in patients undergoing endoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma resection,however,it may increase risks of mild agitation and vomiting.In clinical applications,it is necessary to balance recovery benefits against potential adverse effects,and take targeted prophylactic measures.

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.

Objective:To explore a staged repair procedure for whole foot skin degloving injury and evaluate the clinical outcome.Methods:From August 2020 to March 2023, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients, 12 males and 8 females, with who had whole foot skin avulsion injuries and were treated at the Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Ninth People's Hospital of Wuxi City. Nine injuries of foot skin avulsion were on the left feet and 11 on the right. All patients underwent a primary in situ replantation of the avulsed skin, and a stage-II surgery based on clinical manifestations and combined together with plantar pressure analysis in order to design a contralateral free medial plantar flap for reconstruction of the weight-bearing area of the affected foot. Eleven patients received the reconstructive surgery for forefoot weight-bearing area, and 9 had the reconstructive surgery for the heel weight-bearing area. The flap sizes ranged from 4 cm×4 cm to 13 cm×8 cm. All flap donor sites were closed with full-thickness skin grafts from ipsilateral thigh. Scheduled postoperative follow-ups at outpatient clinic were conducted to observe the flap survival, appearance and texture of the foot skin. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hindfoot functional scores and the British Medical Research Council (BMRC) sensory function scale for flap sensation evaluation were used for assessment of the surgical outcomes, as well as the patient satisfaction. Pre- and postoperative plantar pressure analyses were performed to compare the weight-bearing area, load ratio and average plantar pressure. Statistical analysis was conducted using One-way ANOVA and Chi-square tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The postoperative follow-up lasted for 10 to 24 months, with an average of 12.1 months. All 20 flaps survived. The flap swelling, appearance and wear resistance were good with AOFAS scores at 70 - 88 points. The sensation recovery reached S 2 to S 3. Patient satisfaction was excellent in 19 patients and good in 1 patient. The preoperative weight-bearing area was measured at 84 cm 2 to 140 cm 2, and 93 cm 2 to 145 cm 2 after surgery. The preoperative load ratio was 25% to 40%, and 30% to 43% after surgery. The preoperative plantar pressure was 185 grams/cm 2 to 356 grams/cm 2, and that was 205 grams/cm 2 to 381 grams/cm 2 after surgery. The postoperative weight bearing area, load ratio and mean plantar pressure of the patients were found all superior to those before surgery, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In primary surgery, the avulsed skin is in situ replanted meanwhile have the original plantar skin preserved as much as possible. In the stage-II surgery, a contralateral medial free plantar flap is precisely designed to reconstruct the foot weight-bearing area, according to the healing of the in situ replanted skin and the wear resistance of the skin in weight-bearing area, and an analysis of plantar pressure should be performed. This is a reliable surgical procedure in the treatment of a degloving injury of whole foot.
