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 effect of deubiquitinating enzymes(DUBs) USP2 on depressive-like behavior and hippocampal NF-κB expression in mice.Methods:(1) USP2 silencing experiment: Two USP2 silencing interference sequences with the highest knockdown efficiency were screened and cloned into a lentivirus vector. Mice were microinjected with lentivirus vector into both sides of hippocampus to silence the USP2 gene, and depressive behavior and USP2 protein expression in hippocampal tissue were observed. (2) Venlafaxine intervention experiment: total 32 healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into virus control group, Venlafaxine group, USP2 silencing group, and USP2 silencing+ Venlafaxine group according to the random number table method, with 8 mice in each group. Mice were injected with lentivirus into both side of the hippocampus, and 7 days later, they were given intraperitoneal injection of Venlafaxine (5 mg/kg, once a day, for a total of 14 days). After the administration, the depressive behavior of mice was detected by forced swimming test(FST) and tail suspension test(TST), and the expression levels of USP2, p-IκBα, IκBα, p-NF-κB p65, and NF-κB p65 in the hippocampus of mice were detected by Western blot.SPSS 25.0 and GraphPad Prism 8.0 were used for data processing and chart drawing.The t-test was used for comparison between two groups, One-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and Tukey HSD or LSD- t was used for post hoc pairwise comparison when there was homogeneity of variance. Results:(1)The results of the USP2 silencing experiment showed that both screened USP2 silencing sequences had good gene knockout effects. The expression levels of USP2 protein in the hippocampus of mice injected with USP2 silencing virus were lower than those of the negative control virus groups (both P<0.05). The immobility time of mice in the FST and TST was higher than that of the negative control virus group (both P<0.05). (2)Venlafaxine intervention experiment: There were statistically significant differences in immobility time among the four groups of mice in the FST and TST ( F=8.90, 4.41, both P<0.05). The immobility time of FST and the immobility time of TST in the USP2 silencing+ Venlafaxine group ((48.13±12.76) s, (77.38±12.35) s) were lower than those in the USP2 silencing group((129.88±11.67)s, (148.29±15.31)s) (both P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the expression levels of USP2, p-IκBα, and p-NF-κB p65 proteins in the hippocampal tissues of the four groups of mice ( F=8.39, 5.78, 21.32, all P<0.05).The expression level of USP2 protein in the USP2 silencing group(0.49±0.07) was lower than that in the USP2 silencing+ Venlafaxine group(0.79±0.08) and virus control group(1.00±0.07)(both P<0.05), while the expression levels of p-IκBα, p-NF-κB p65 protein (1.63±0.18, 2.14±0.24) were higher than those in the virus control group (1.00±0.06, 1.00±0.04) and the USP2 silencing+ Venlafaxine group (0.70±0.23, 0.68±0.09) (both P<0.05). Conclusion:USP2 scilencing can induce depressive-like behaviors in mice. Venlafaxine ameliorates USP2 silencing-induced depressive-like behaviors, which may be associated with the hippocampal NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the expression of ribosomal protein L26 ( RPL26) in gastric cancer cells (GC) and its effect on cell apoptosis and proliferation . Methods: The expression of RPL26 in GES-1 and GC cell lines was detected by Western blot. GC cell line HGC-27 was used to construct RPL26 overexpression cell line , and GC cell lines HGC-27 and AGS cells were used to construct RPL26 knockdown cell line . The overexpression and knockdown efficiency of RPL26 were detected by Western blot. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) , colony formation assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the effects of the overexpression and knockdown of RPL26 on the pro- liferation and migration of GC cells . Western blot was used to detect the expression of Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) / protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway related factors PI3K , AKT , phosphorylated phosphatidylinosi- tol-3-kinase (p-PI3K) , phosphorylated protein kinase B ( p-AKT) and downstream factors B-Cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) , Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and Cyclin A , G1 /S-specific Cyclin D1(Cyclin D1) , Cyclin-depend- ent kinases (CDK)4 and CDK2 in overexpression and knockdown of RPL26 stably transfected cell lines . Results: Compared with GES-1 , RPL26 was highly expressed in HGC-27 cells ( tHGC-27 = 4. 97 ; P < 0. 01) and elevated in AGS , but the difference was not statistically significant. In HGC-27 and AGS cells , CCK-8 and colony formation assays showed that the proliferation ability of cells decreased after the knockdown of RPL26. Transwell assay showed that the migration ability of cells decreased after the knockdown of RPL26. Western blot showed that Bcl-2 expression was decreased in HGC-27 , AGS cells after the knockdown of RPL26 ( tHGC-27 = 11 . 50 , tAGS = 4. 77 ; P < 0. 001 , P < 0. 01) , and Bax expression increased ( tHGC-27 = 9. 63 , tAGS = 4. 05 ; P < 0. 001 , P < 0. 05) . In HGC-27 cells , the ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT significantly decreased after the knockdown of RPL26 ( tp-PI3K/PI3K = 3 . 86 , tp-AKT/AKT = 8. 29 ; P < 0. 05 , P < 0. 01) . Cyclin A , Cyclin D1 , CDK4 , CDK2 protein expressions de- creased ( t = 9. 61 , 5 . 10 , 11 . 64 , 7. 81 ; P < 0. 01 or P < 0. 001) , while the overexpression of RPL26 in HGC-27 cells showed the opposite trend . Conclusion The knockdown of RPL26 may arrest the cell cycle in G1 /S phase by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway , thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis .

Objective:This study aims to explore the job preferences of county-level Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)personnel and to provide a basis for the development of effective incentive mechanisms.Methods:This study used a combination of stratified sampling and latent class sampling to investigate 1 809 respondents from 56 county-level CDCs in Shandong Province,Hubei Province,and Guizhou Province.Data were analysed using a mixed logit model and a latent class model,and willingness to pay was calculated.Results:The results of the mixed logit model showed that,all attributes and their levels had a significant influence(P<0.05),with establishment being the most important motivating factor(β=2.249).In the latent class model,respondents were divided into three categories.The main differences between the three classes were the choice of exit options and differences in preferences for job attributes.Conclusion:County-level CDC personnel preferred jobs with higher incomes,very good benefit levels,establishment,low workload,better recognition and respect from the public,more opportunities for career advancement,and abundant training opportunities.It is recommended that the total number of establishment should be rationally controlled and dynamically adjusted to balance the differences between working conditions within and outside the establishment;that a comprehensive approach should be adopted to improve both hygiene and motivation factors;and that different incentives should be adopted for different categories of CDC staff. Those who are willing to make a change should be provided with more opportunities for training and career advancement.

It has been not been updated for nearly 5 years since the Pharmacoepidemiology Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association released the Guide on Methodological Standards in Pharmacoepidemiology in China(1st edition)in 2019,and an update is urgently needed.This study adopts a systematic review approach to comprehensively search for global pharmacoepidemiology methodological guidelines and analyze their development status.By extracting the frameworks and key elements of the guidelines,the China's guide was compared with other included guidelines,its shortcomings were analysed,and pragmatic and feasible suggestions for improvement in line with China's national conditions,were proposed in order to provide references for updating China's guide.A systematic search was conducted by searching PubMed,Embase,CNKI,WanFang Data and 17 official websites of international academic organizations for pharmacoepidemiology and regulatory agencies from countries or regions including Europe,the United States,Japan,and China,etc.,and relevant guidelines or standards were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria,resulting in the inclusion of 33 methodological guidelines or standards for pharmacoepidemiological studies.A qualitative synthesis approach was then employed to extract core elements from the guidelines through thematic categorization and content summarization,followed by a descriptive comparative analysis.The results indicate that the 1st edition of the China's guide provides relatively comprehensive guidance on adverse drug reaction reporting and publication of research findings.However,there are gaps in study protocol development,data analysis during study implementation,study reporting,and specific study scenarios.By integrating and drawing upon the latest international pharmacoepidemiology methodology guidelines while balancing comprehensiveness,practicality,and user-friendliness,this study provides recommendations for updating the China's guide.

Pharmacoepidemiology is a scientific discipline that applies epidemiological principles and methods to study the utilization and effects of pharmaceuticals in populations.It plays a crucial role in promoting rational drug use and improving public health outcomes.High-quality pharmacoepidemiological research relies on rigorous methodological frameworks.Chinese Pharmaceutical Association(CPA)has officially initiated the development/revision of the of the Guide on Methodological Standards in Pharmacoepidemiology in China(2nd edition)in 2024.This revision project was supported by the Pharmacoepidemiology Committee of CPA,and was led by the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Peking University School of Public Health,which provided methodological guidance,in collaboration with multidisciplinary experts from across the country.Building on the experience of the 1st edition's development,the working group conducted a qualitative systematic review,to extract key information from global pharmacoepidemiology-related guidelines,laying the foundation for the development/revision proposals of the 2nd edition.Subsequently,through two rounds of Delphi method expert consultations and qualitative interviews,alongside extensive discussions within the working group,the draft revision of the guideline was created.Finally,through an expert consensus meeting using the Nominal Group Technique(NGT),a consensus was reached,resulting in a methodological guideline that integrates international perspectives with local applicability for pharmacoepidemiological research in China.The 2nd edition consists of 41 entries,including 8 primary entries,20 secondary entries,and 13 tertiary entries.It comprehensively covers key aspects such as study protocol development,study implementation,adverse event reporting,research report writing,and dissemination of study findings.Additionally,it addresses specific application scenarios and topics,as well as the application of artificial intelligence and real-world studies.

Pharmacoepidemiology is an interdisciplinary discipline that applies epidemiological research methods to evaluate the application and effect of drugs within population.Standardizing pharmacoepidemiological research methods is crucial for ensuring the quality of research and promoting the development of the discipline.The Pharmacoepidemiology Professional Committee of Chinese Pharmaceutical Association developed the Guide on Methodological Standards in Pharmacoepidemiology(1st edition),in 2019,but has not been updated in over five years.Other,countries/regions such as Europe,America,Japan and South Korea have made a lot of progress in developing and updating the guidelines.Therefore,the rapid development of pharmacoepidemiology in our country and the growing need to align with international standards make it essential to update the guidelines.The second edition of the guidelines was developed through a process that included systematic reviews,practical surveys,and multidisciplinary collaboration.Compared with the first edition,the updated version has made many important changes in research design,data sources,specific application scenarios and more,and added new contents such as the application of artificial intelligence.The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the necessity of updating the guidelines,selecting important changes and formulating interpretation plans.It aims to provide references for relevant professionals to comprehensively understand and apply the new guidelines,and to promote the standardized development and quality of pharmacoepidemiologic research in our country,further advancing the field.
