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.

Surgical treatment is one of the key approaches for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Regular postoperative follow-up is crucial for early detection and timely management of tumor recurrence, metastasis, or second primary tumors. A scientifically sound and reasonable follow-up strategy not only extends patient survival but also significantly improves quality of life, thereby enhancing overall prognosis. This consensus aims to build upon the previous version by incorporating the latest clinical research advancements and refining postoperative follow-up protocols for early-stage NSCLC patients based on different treatment modalities. It provides a scientific and practical reference for clinicians involved in the postoperative follow-up management of NSCLC. By optimizing follow-up strategies, this consensus seeks to promote the standardization and normalization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment in China, helping more patients receive high-quality care and long-term management. Additionally, the release of this consensus is expected to provide insights for related research and clinical practice both domestically and internationally, driving continuous development and innovation in the field of postoperative management for NSCLC.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the diagnostic value of thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT),thrombomodulin(TM),and tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex(t-PAIC)in severe cases of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods A cohort of 79 patients clinically diagnosed with COVID-19 was retrospectively assembled and categorized into two groups based on disease severity:non-severe(n=51)and severe(n=28).In this study the differences of coagulation function and inflamma-tory marker levels between the two groups were compared.The correlations of TAT,TM and t-PAIC with other biomarkers were investi-gated.The diagnostic values of all the markers for severe COVID-19 were assessed.Results The patients of severe COVID-19 exhibi-ted significantly higher levels of TAT,TM,and t-PAIC compared to those of non-severe group(P＜0.001).The levels of TAT,TM and t-PAIC showed notable positive correlation with other biomarkers.TAT demonstrated the strongest positive correlation with the level of D-dimer(r=0.786,P＜0.001).Binary logistic regression analysis identified TAT(OR=1.346,P＜0.05)and t-PAIC(OR=1.128,P＜0.05)were independent risk factors in term of severe COVID-19.The combined ROC curve for TAT,TM and t-PAIC revealed high diagnostic efficacy in severe cases with the area under the curve(AUCROC)were 0.918,and the sensitivity and specificity were of 75％and 94.1％,respectively.Conclusion The results of combined measurement of TAT,TM and t-PAIC effectively demonstrates its diagnostic value in identifying severity and stratification of COVID-19 cases and may have important clinical significance for assessment of the severity and prediction of the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and complications of one-step and two-step ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic hepatic duct drainage(PTHD)in the treatment of advanced low-level biliary obstruction.Methods A total of 112 patients with advanced low-level biliary obstruction who underwent palliative surgery for reducing jaundice in the hospital from January 2019 to July 2023 were selected,and divided into the one-step group and the two-step group according to the principle of complete randomization(grouped by random number table method).The one-step group(n=56)underwent one-step PTHD,while the two-step group(n=56)underwent two-step PTHD.Surgery related indicators,serum total bilirubin(TBIL),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),alanine transaminase(ALT),the incidence of postoperative complications,and satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results There was no difference in intraoperative blood loss[(2.96±0.50)ml vs.(3.02±0.53)ml],drainage volume in 48 hours after surgery[(555.84±90.51)ml vs.(560.52±104.23)ml]between the two groups(P＞0.05).Operation time and postoperative VAS score of the one-step group were significantly shorter/lower than those of the two-step group[(32.50±4.26)min vs.(36.43±3.58)min,(3.72±1.57)points vs.(4.53±1.34)points],and the success rate of puncture was significantly higher than that in the two-step group(96.43％vs.76.69％),with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).After treatment,the levels of TBIL,ALP and ALT in the two groups were significantly reduced(P＜0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups(P＞0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(3.57％vs.7.14％,Fisher's exact probability=0.679).The satisfaction rate in the one-step group was significantly higher than that in the two-step group(94.64％vs.75.00％),with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).ConclusionThe operation time of one-step PTHD is shorter and the success rate of puncture is higher.In addition,patients undergoing one-step PTHD have milder pain,and are more satisfied.

Objective: To explore the effect of C1q / tumor necrosis factor-related protein 9 ( CTRP9 ) on the expression of genes and proteins related to lipid metabolism of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in mice after cold stimulation． Methods : C57BL /6J male mice were injected with adenovirus Ad-GFP (control group) or Ad-CTRP9 ( experience group) into the scapular region and kept for 7 days．After cold stimulation at 4 ℃ for 10 hours，the expression levels of BAT marker genes and proteins were detected by real time PCR and Western blot. Results: Overexpression of CTRP9 induced by cold stimulation significantly increased the mRNA level of iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (Dio2) in BAT (P＜0. 01) ．Additionally，there was no significant difference in the expression of BAT marker genes ( UCP-1，PGC-1 α , PRDM16 and ARβ3) ，and liposynthesis and lipolysis related genes (PPARγ , HSL and ATGL) ．Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1) protein expression was upregualted in Ad-CTRP9 compared to the Ad-GFP control group ，while the expression of lipolysis related protein adipose triglyceride lipase ( ATGL) decreased significantly (P＜0. 05) ． Conclusion In cold environment，overexpression of CTRP9 promotes the accumulation of UCP-1 protein in BAT，upregulates the expression of thyroid hormone signal related gene Dio2，and inhibits triglyceride hydrolysis to maintain a constant body temperature.

Resection is crucial for treating non-small cell lung cancer. Routine follow-up after surgery is an effective method for early detection and treatment of tumor recurrence and metastasis or the second primary tumor, which can improve the quality of life of patients and their prognosis. This consensus aims to provide a reference for colleagues responsible for postoperative follow-up of non-small cell lung cancer patients in China, and further improve the standardization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative treatment has become an increasingly important aspect of the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Small-scale clinical studies performed in recent years have shown improvements in the major pathological remission rate after neoadjuvant therapy, suggesting that it will soon become an important part of NSCLC treatment. Nevertheless, neoadjuvant immunotherapy may be accompanied by serious adverse reactions that lead to delay or cancelation of surgery, additional illness, and even death, and have therefore attracted much attention. The purpose of the clinical recommendations is to form a diagnosis and treatment plan suitable for the current domestic medical situation for the immune-related adverse event (irAE). METHODS: This recommendation is composed of experts in thoracic surgery, oncologists, thoracic medicine and irAE related departments (gastroenterology, respirology, cardiology, infectious medicine, hematology, endocrinology, rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, emergency section) to jointly complete the formulation. Experts make full reference to the irAE guidelines, large-scale clinical research data published by thoracic surgery, and the clinical experience of domestic doctors and publicly published cases, and repeated discussions in multiple disciplines to form this recommendation for perioperative irAE. RESULTS: This clinical recommendation covers the whole process of prevention, evaluation, examination, treatment and monitoring related to irAE, so as to guide the clinical work comprehensively and effectively. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative irAE management is an important part of immune perioperative treatment of lung cancer. With the continuous development of immune perioperative treatment, more research is needed in the future to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of perioperative irAE.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes of treatment using non-selective versus highly selective partial splenic embolization in patients with hypersplenism secondary to liver cirrhosis.Methods:The clinical data of patients with hypersplenism secondary to hepatitis B cirrhosis who underwent splenic embolization at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Leshan People's Hospital from July 2017 to July 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Of 65 patients with hypersplenism, there were 42 males and 23 females, with age of (58.5±9.8) years. Twenty-six patients underwent splenic artery non-selective partial splenic embolization (the non-selective group) and 39 patients underwent partial splenic embolization using highly selective intubation (the highly selective group). The postoperative peripheral hematological indexes, liver function, operation-related complications and portal vein color Doppler ultrasonography were compared between the two groups.Results:The white blood cell count and platelet count of patients in the 2 groups were significantly higher than those before operation. The white blood cell count at 4, 12 and 24 weeks after operation and the platelet count at 12 and 24 weeks after operation in the highly selective group were significantly higher than those in the non-selective group ( P<0.05). Compared with the non-selective group, the total bilirubin, ICG-R15, portal vein diameter and portal vein blood flow in the highly-selective group significantly lower ( P<0.05). The incidences of 0/Ⅰ/Ⅱ/Ⅲ pain in the non-selected group was significantly higher when compared with that in the highly selected group (5/10/11/1 vs. 12/22/7/0), ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidences of postoperative complication between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with non-selective partial splenic embolization, highly selective partial splenic embolization gave more stable and lasting treatment outcomes in patients with hypersplenism caused by liver cirrhosis with better recovery of blood-related indicators, better improvement in postoperative liver function and relief of portal hypertension symptoms.

Objective:To explore the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of anatomical partial lobectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 3 336 patients with lung nodules underwent anatomical partial lobectomy in our center from November 2013 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. We set the safety margin distance according to the imaging feature of the lesion. The surgeons then anatomically detached the major vessels and bronchus in this region, resected the targeted lung tissue along the plane, and completed the resection of anatomical pulmonary lobe and clean and sampling of systemic lymph nodules.Results:A total of 668 cases were multiple nodules and 2 668 cases were solitary pulmonary nodules. According to the postoperative pathological results, 283 cases were benign, 1 197 cases were preinvasive lesions (including 38 cases of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, 445 cases of adenocarcinoma in situ and 714 cases of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma), 1 713 cases were invasive adenocarcinoma, 73 cases were non-adenocarcinoma and 70 cases were metastatic carcinoma. Among 1 786 invasive primary lung cancers, 11 cases received preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and their postoperative pathologic diagnoses were stage ypIA. Other 1 775 cases who did not receive postoperative neoadjuvant treatment included 1 587 cases in stage ⅠA, 112 cases in stage ⅠB, 3 cases in stage ⅡA, 18 cases in stage ⅡB, 37 cases in stage ⅢA, 9 cases in stage ⅢB, 9 cases in stage Ⅳ. The average operation time was (127.3±55.3) minutes, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was (4.8±2.4) days. The incidence rate of complications (grade>2) was 1.1%(38/3 336), and no death occurred during 30 days after operation.Conclusion:Anatomic partial lobectomy has good clinical applicability, safety and effectiveness, which is worthy of clinical application and recommendation.
