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 relationship between monocyte-lymphocyte ratio(MLR),modified Glasgow prognostic score(mGPS)and the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 106 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy in our hospital from April 2018 to April 2021,the patients were followed up for 3 years after the operation.MLR and mGPS scores of patients with different clinical characteristics were compared.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival differences of patients in different MLR and mGPS groups,and the survival curves were plotted.The Cox regression model was used to analyze variables such as clinical characteristics,laboratory indicators,MLR and mGPS scores,and to screen out the independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was constructed to evaluate the efficacy of MLR,mGPS scores and their combination in predicting poor prognosis efficiency of patients,and the area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity and specificity were calculated.Results:MLR and mGPS scores were correlated with tumor TNM stage,degree of differentiation,tumor diameter,lymph node metastasis and postoperative chemotherapy(P＜0.05).The 3-year survival rates of the MLR ≥0.3 group and mGPS ≥ 1 group were 45.20％and 50.00％respectively,which were much lower than those in the low MLR group and mGPS group(78.40％and 82.40％,P＜0.05).The survival rate in the high-risk group(MLR ≥0.3 and mGPS ≥ 1)was 29.41％,significantly lower than those in the medium and low-risk groups(P＜0.05).Cox multivariate analysis showed that high clinical stage,lymph node metastasis,high degree of differentiation,high MLR and high mGPS scores were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients.ROC curve showed that the AUC of MLR and mGPS scores alone in predicting poor prognosis of patients was 0.756 and 0.842,respectively,the AUC of combination detection the two was 0.909,the predictive efficacy of the combination detection was significantly better than that of the single detection.Conclusion:Elevated MLR and mGPS scores can be used as independent prognostic indicators after advanced gastric cancer,the combination in predicting is helpful to provide a more accurate basis for clinical prognosis assessment.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P＜0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P＞0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.

″Boundarics in biomedicine″(or″Biomedical boundarics″)is an emerging frontier interdisciplinary subject that focuses on addressing key scientific issues related to the formation,identification,and evolution of biological boundaries within living organisms.In this field,the study of tumor boundaries is of particular importance.Imaging tumor boundaries not only helps to reveal the molecular mechanisms of tumor boundary evolution and interaction with the microenvironment,tumor invasion and metastasis,but is also crucial for clinical tumor diagnosis,treatment decision-making,efficacy monitoring and prognosis evaluation.Molecular probes,as functional substances that enhance imaging signals,play a crucial role in tumor boundary recognition.In this article,the basic concepts and research significance of boundarics in biomedicine and tumor boundarics in biomedicine were summarized firstly.Then a comprehensive review of the research progress in tumor boundary imaging molecular probes was provided,covering areas such as magnetic imaging,optical imaging,acoustic imaging,nuclear imaging,and multimodal imaging.The strategies to regulate the sensitivity,specificity,and safety of molecular probes through chemical structure modifications,conjugation with targeting ligands,and tumor microenvironment-responsive designs were emphasized.Finally,the research trends of molecular probes for tumor boundary imaging were analyzed,and the challenges faced in this field and the future research directions were discussed.

A method for determination and targeted screening of diflorasone components in health products using ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF/MS)was established.Four representative diflorasone and esters(diflorasone,diflorasone diacetate,diflorasone-17-propionate,and diflorasone-21-propionate)were selected to optimize the pretreatment conditions,and 10 mL of extraction solvent dosage,15 min of extraction time and 5 g of salting-out agent as the optimal conditions were selected by response surface methodology.The results showed that the four analytes exhibited good linearity within the concentration range of 2.0?100 μg/L with the chromatographic peak area,and the correlation coefficients(R2)were all greater than 0.9990,while the results of recovery and relative standard deviation could satisfy the requirements of determination.The common characteristic ions of diflorasone and esters werem/z121 andm/z335,and their specific structures were obtained by analyzing the cleavage pathway based on the optimized determination conditions.A targeted screening method for other esters of diflorasone based on characteristic ions guidance strategy was established.This method had many advantages such as high efficiency,high sensitivity and good reproducibility,and could be used for targeted screening of diflorasone and esters in health products.The developed characteristic ion guided strategy could be employed to construct mass spectral databases for various glucocorticoids,enabling comprehensive targeted screening across a broad range of compounds.
