Objective To compare the effects of sequential Exoview and Mimics three-dimensional reconstruction with fluorescence method in thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy.Methods The clinical data of 160 patients with lung cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,79 patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy with the sequential Exoview three-dimensional reconstruction and fluorescence method before the operation were classified as the Exoview group,and 81 patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy with the sequential Mimics three-dimensional reconstruction and fluorescence method before the operation were classified as the Mimics group.The surgical completion status,the coincidence rate between the number of left and right pulmonary artery branches evaluated before operation and intraoperative findings,reconstruction time,segment display effect,general indicators of operation(operation time,intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph node dissection,thoracic tube placement time,postoperative hospital stay),pulmonary function[forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1%)]and complications were compared between the two groups.Results All patients in the two groups successfully completed thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy,and indocyanine green was injected once in each group.The operation process was roughly consistent with the preoperative simulation,and no thoracotomy was performed.There was no statistically significant difference in the resection of lung segment between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).The coincidence rate between the number of left and right pulmonary artery branches evaluated before operation and intraoperative findings in the Exoview group was higher than that in the Mimics group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the segment display effect between the Exoview group and the Mimics group(P>0.05).The operation time and the reconstruction time in the Exoview group were shorter those that in the Mimics group,and the intraoperative blood loss was less than that in the Mimics group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of lymph node dissection,the thoracic tube placement time,or the postoperative hospital stay between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in FEV1 or FEV1%7 days after surgery compared with those before surgery(P>0.05).The FEV1 and FEV1%of patients in the Mimics group 7 days after surgery were lower than those beforesurgery(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in FEV1 or FEV1%between the Exoview group and the Mimics group before and 7 days after surgery(P>0.05).The total incidence of complications in the Exoview group was 1.27%,compared with 4.94%in the Mimics group,the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Both sequential Exoview and Mimics three-dimensional reconstruction with fluorescence method are safe and effective for thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy,while Exoview has more advantages in preoperative assessment of the number of pulmonary artery branches,and it has shorter reconstruction time and operation time,with less impact on lung function.

Objective:To explore the structural relationship between WMSDs in the upper limbs and various risk factors in the occupational population in China, based on a large sample epidemiological survey and structural equation analysis, and to establish a structural equation model, so as to lay a foundation for the prevention and control of such diseases.Methods:The Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire was used to conduct a nationwide survey on the prevalence of WMSDs in the upper extremity. Six factors related to WMSDs in the upper extremity were extracted by the classification standard of adverse ergonomic factors and their source and confirmatory factor analysis, including work organization, work type, upper extremity work posture, individual factors, upper extremity fatigue and upper extremity WMSDs. The structural equation analysis was carried out and the structural equation model was established.Results:The incidence of WMSDs and fatigue in the upper limbs was 24.44% and 43.76%, respectively. The adjusted structural equation model fitting indicators were generally up to the standard (GFI=1.000, AGFI=1.000, RMSEA=0.043, NFI=0.808, TLI=0.784) . The four exogenous latent variables of work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and individual factors were correlated. There was a strong positive correlation between job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.865) , a moderate positive correlation between work organization and job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.570, 0.490) , and a weak negative correlation between individual factors and the other three exogenous latent variables. Upper limb work posture and individual factors had direct effects on upper limb WMSDs, and the effect coefficients were 0.10 and 0.06, respectively. Upper limb fatigue played a mediating role between work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and upper limb WMSDs. The effect coefficient was 0.46, and the composition ratios of indirect effects were 100.0%, 100.0%, and 38.3%, respectively. The direct path effect of upper limb work posture, individual factors and upper limb WMSDs was weaker than the mediating path through upper limb fatigue. Conclusion:When carrying out the prevention and control of upper limbWMSDs, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pathogenesis path of upper limb muscle fatigue and upper limb WMSDs caused by work organization, work type, and upper limb work posture, so as to provide theoretical reference for improving the prevention and control level of such diseases.

Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a pathological process involving multiple injury factors and cell types, with different stages. Currently, protective drugs targeting a single condition are limited in efficacy, and interventions on immune cells will also be accompanied by a series of side effects. In the current bottleneck research stage, the multi-target and obvious clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine (CM) is expected to become a breakthrough point in the research and development of new drugs. In this review, we summarize the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in various stages of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion and on various types of cells. Combined with the current research progress in reducing ROS/RNS with CM, new therapies and mechanisms for the treatment of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion are discussed.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of zedoarondiol on neovascularization of atherosclerotic (AS) plaque by exosomes experiment. METHODS: ApoE^-/- mice were fed with high-fat diet to establish AS model and treated with high- and low-dose (10, 5 mg/kg daily) of zedoarondiol, respectively. After 14 weeks, the expressions of anti-angiogenic protein thrombospondin 1 (THBS-1) and its receptor CD36 in plaques, as well as platelet activation rate and exosome-derived miR-let-7a were detected. Then, zedoarondiol was used to intervene in platelets in vitro, and miR-let-7a was detected in platelet-derived exosomes (Pexo). Finally, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were transfected with miR-let-7a mimics and treated with Pexo to observe the effect of miR-let-7a in Pexo on tube formation. RESULTS: Animal experiments showed that after treating with zedoarondiol, the neovascularization density in plaques of AS mice was significantly reduced, THBS-1 and CD36 increased, the platelet activation rate was markedly reduced, and the miR-let-7a level in Pexo was reduced (P<0.01). In vitro experiments, the platelet activation rate and miR-let-7a levels in Pexo were significantly reduced after zedoarondiol's intervention. Cell experiments showed that after Pexo's intervention, the tube length increased, and the transfection of miR-let-7a minics further increased the tube length of cells, while reducing the expressions of THBS-1 and CD36. CONCLUSION Zedoarondiol has the effect of inhibiting neovascularization within plaque in AS mice, and its mechanism may be potentially related to inhibiting platelet activation and reducing the Pexo-derived miRNA-let-7a level.

Objective To predict and verify the mechanism of Naoan capsules(NAC)in treatment of ischemic stroke(IS)by network pharmacology,Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,and molecular docking technology.Methods The active components in NAC were collected using the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacological Analysis Platform,and the disease-related differential genes were screened using GEO database.After screening and obtaining the common targets of the two,the compound disease network was constructed by Cytoscape 3.8.2 software.At the same time,protein-protein interaction networks were created to identify candidate targets for NAC treatment of IS,and gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analyses were performed.Finally,core targets were verified by molecular docking technology.Results A total of 56 candidate compounds and 18 544 disease-related differential genes were screened.Further,quercetin,kaempferol,luteolin and baicalein were found to be the key active compounds of NAC in the treatment of IS through the compound disease network.In the search of PPI network core,eight key targets for NAC treatment of IS were screened,including mitogen-activated protein kinase 1(MAPK1),B-cell lymphoma factor 2(Bcl-2),cysteinylaspartate specific protease 3(CASP3),etc.In addition,the key pathways of NAC treatment of IS are mainly concentrated in lipid and atherosclerosis,advanced glycation end products and receptor for advanced glycation end products(AGE-RAGE),tumor necrosis factor(TNF),interleukin17(IL-17),C-type lectin receptor,apoptosis,hypoxia-inducing factor-1(HIF-1),MAPK and other signaling pathways.Finally,the molecular docking results showed that the key active compounds(quercetin,kaempferol,luteolin and baicalein)had good binding force with the 8 key targets,which initially verified the results of network pharmacology.Conclusion NAC plays a role in the treatment of IS through multi-component,multi-target and multi-pathway.

Tuberous sclerosis complex(TSC)is a rare genetic disease that can lead to benign dysplasia in multiple organs such as the skin, brain, eyes, oral cavity, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and bones. Its main symptoms include epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, skin depigmentation, and facial angiofibromas, whilst incidence is approximately 1 in 10 000 to 1 in 6000 newborns. This case presents a middle-aged woman who initially manifested with epilepsy and nodular depigmentation. Later, she developed a lower abdominal mass, elevated creatinine, and severe anemia. Based on clinical features and whole exome sequencing, the primary diagnosis was confirmed as TSC. Laboratory and imaging examinations revealed that the lower abdominal mass originated from the uterus. CT-guided biopsy pathology and surgical pathology suggested a combination of leiomyoma and abscess. With the involvement of multiple organs and various complications beyond the main diagnosis, the diagnostic and therapeutic process for this patient highlights the importance of rigorous clinical thinking and multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of rare and challenging diseases.

Objective To establish antemortem and postmortem injury models in nude mice,observe the morphological changes of the wounds and the changes of the microbial communities in the wounds at different time points after the injury,and analyze the differences between antemortem and postmor-tem wounds.Methods Abdominal injury models were established in 48 BALB/c nude mice,which were classified into antemortem injury,4 h and 72 h postmortem injury groups,and the gross manifesta-tions and histopathological changes were observed on days 1,3,5,8,11 and 15 after injury.The mi-crobial communities in the wounds were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing technology.QIIME 2 soft-ware was used to calculate Shannon and Observed species indices.The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine statistical differences in α-diversity between groups.Jaccard similarity coefficients were calculated by using R v4.3.0 software and applied to the principal co-ordinates analysis to demonstrate inter-sample differences.Permutational multivariate analysis of variance(PERMANOVA)was used to analyze the differences between groups in the composition of bacterial colonies,and R2 values were calculated.Results On days 8,11 and 15 after injury,the antemortem and postmortem injuries could not be differentiated by morphological examination;the Shannon index and Observed species index were statistically different between the antemortem injury group and the 72 h postmortem injury group;the Jaccard similarity coefficient of the microbial community was statistically different between the an-temortem injury group and the 72 h postmortem injury group.The PERMANOVA R2 value gradually increased with the extension of time(0.22-0.61).Conclusion Through the analysis of the wound mi-crobial community,the microbial composition of wounds at different time points can be identified and compared,which provides a new perspective and method for the differentiation of antemortem injuries from postmortem injuries,with good application prospects.
