		                        			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 analyze factors associated with timely vaccination of pertussis-containing vaccines in children born in Shanghai from 2019 to 2023.Methods:Children born in Shanghai between 2019 and 2023 were selected using a stratified random sampling method, and their vaccination data were obtained from the Shanghai Vaccine Management and Vaccination Service Information System. The vaccination rates, timely vaccination rates, and the proportions of diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-haemophilus influenzae type b combination vaccine (DTaP-Hib) and diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-inactivated poliovirus-haemophilus influenzae type b combination vaccine (DTaP-IPV-Hib) for the substitution of diphtheria- tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP) were calculated. Also, the factors associated with timely vaccination rate was analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:The average vaccination coverage rate of pertussis-containing vaccines in children born in Shanghai from 2019 to 2023 ranged from 94.71% to 99.53%. There were significant differences in the vaccination coverage of the 1 st-4 th doses of pertussis-containing vaccines among children born in different years (all P<0.05), but no gender and area specific significant differences were observed (all P>0.05). Non-national immunization program (non-NIP) vaccines were used to substitute DTaP vaccines in some children, with the proportion of DTaP-IPV-Hib vaccine accounting for 50.11%-52.69% and the proportion of DTaP-Hib vaccine accounting for 27.22%-28.43%. The proportions of DTaP-Hib and DTaP-IPV-Hib for the substitution of DTaP had increasing trends over the years. The overall timely vaccination rate of pertussis-containing vaccine vaccination was 84.09%. Analysis on the factors affecting the timely vaccination rate showed that the rate gradually decreased with the increase of the doses. Children who received the self-paid quadrivalent or pentavalent vaccines were less likely to have vaccination delays. Birth year had a significant impact on the timely vaccination rate, while the area had less impact. Additionally, the timely vaccination rate was also influenced by the degree of non-pharmaceutical intervention measures. Conclusions:The substitution of pertussis- containing vaccines with non-NIP vaccines was common in Shanghai. The coverage and timeliness of pertussis-containing vaccine vaccination were relatively high. The timely vaccination rate was significantly associated with gender, dose, vaccine type, and the degree of non-pharmaceutical interventions. There was a certain proportions of delayed and missed vaccinations, and it is necessary to pay attention to children who are not vaccinated timely and conduct high-quality catch-up vaccination to ensure timely and complete vaccination of pertussis-containing vaccines.

		                        			ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between smoking behavior and related factors among the adult residents in Fengxian District,so as to provide an evidence for carrying out tobacco control and other health promotion work. MethodsA multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 272 community residents aged between 15 and 69 yeas to carry out the questionnaire survey. ResultsIn 2020, the smoking rate of adult residents in Fengxian District was 23.50%. Smoking behavior was statistically correlated with age, gender, household registration, chronic disease, occupation and educational level. Smoking behavior was inversely correlated with educational level. Smoking rate of male residents was significantly higher than that of female residents, smoking rate of residents with chronic diseases was significantly higher than that of those without suffering from chronic diseases, and smoking rate of permanent registered residents was significantly higher than that of those non-locals. The highest smoking prevalence was among retired and freelancers, followed by staff of government agencies and public institutes, while the lowest was among students, followed by intellectuals. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age and education level were the main factors affecting the smoking prevalence level. ConclusionThe general smoking rate of adult residents in Fengxian District was higher than the average level in Shanghai but lower than the national level. Male residents aged ≥25 years and with lower education level are the key invention targets for tobacco control.

		                        			Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) in the perioperative period of congenital choledochal cysts in children.Methods:This is a multicenter prospective randomized controlled study. The clinical data of 273 pediatric congenital choledochal cysts(CCC) patients who underwent surgery at 14 medical centers with complete follow-up data were collected through the medical data analysis platform. Among them, 123 cases in ERAS group were managed perioperatively in strict accordance with ERAS mode, and 150 cases in conventional group were managed according to traditional mode. The length of hospital stay,time to first farting, time to complete feeding, the incidence of complications, cost and readmission rate within 30 days,stress indexes and liver function were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with the conventional group, median time to start farting (2.0 d vs. 3.0 d, P<0.001), median time to complete feeding (5.0 d vs. 7.0 d, P<0.001), median postoperative hospitalization time (6.0 d vs. 9.0 d, P<0.001),the median total length of stay(13.0 d vs. 15.0 d, P<0.001) were shorter,the median hospitalization cost (37,000 yuan vs.43,000 yuan P<0.001) was lower, and stress indexes recovered quickly. The incidence of postoperative hospital stay and readimission rate within 30 d were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to implement ERAS for children with CCC in the perioperative period, which can reduce stress response, speed up recovery,and save medical costs.

		                        			Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) and uniportal endoscopy (UE) for unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (ULBD) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods:Data of 82 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis treated by ULBD under UBE or UE from January 2020 to June 2021 in Dalian Central Hospital affiliated to Dalian Medical University and the First Hospital affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, including 36 males and 46 females, aged 63.3±7.5 years (range, 47-81 years). According to the surgical procedure, they were divided into UBE group (42 cases), including 20 males and 22 females; aged 63.2±7.6 years (range, 47-81 years) and UE group (40 cases), including 16 males and 24 females; aged 63.5±7.5 years (range, 48-80 years). Operation time, hospital stay and surgical complications were compared between the two groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) of low back and leg pain before surgery, 1 day, 7 d, 1 month and 6 months after surgery, and Oswestry disability index (ODI) before surgery, 1 month and 6 months after surgery were compared. Dural sac area before and after surgery, resection angle of ipsilateral facet joint, decompression rate of disc space and bone lateral recess were calculated.Results:All patients were operated successfully. In the UBE group, the operation time was 63.1±7.0 min, and the hospital stay was 3.9±0.9 d. The UE group was 61.2±6.2 min and 3.7±0.9 d, respectively ( t=1.31, P=0.195; t=1.24, P=0.217). The VAS of back and legs pain in UBE group decreased from 7.19±0.97 before operation to 3.43±0.63 points at postoperative 1 day, 1.71±0.60 at postoperative 7 d, 1.33±0.48 at postoperative 1 month and 1.36±0.48 points at postoperative 6 months ( F=352.29, P<0.001). The VAS score of the UE group decreased from 6.85±0.89 points before operation to 2.45±0.75 points at postoperative 1 day, 1.75±0.59 points at postoperative 7 d, 1.33±0.47 points at postoperative 1 month and 1.28±0.45 points at postoperative 6 months ( F=291.44, P<0.001). The VAS of low back and leg pain was higher in the UBE group than in the UE group at 1 day postoperatively ( t=6.41, P<0.001), and the difference was not statistically significant at 7 d postoperatively ( t=-0.27, P=0.786). The ODI of UBE group decreased from 66.62%±4.98% before operation to 21.81%±2.61% at postoperative 1 month and 11.62%±2.31% at postoperative 6 months ( F=1991.35, P<0.001). The ODI score of UE group decreased from 64.35%±5.16% before operation to 22.85%±3.26% at postoperative 1 month and 11.15%±2.86% at postoperative 6 months ( F=1931.18, P<0.001). The postoperative dural sac area of the UBE and UE groups was 135.1±10.0 mm 2 and 120.9±10.4 mm 2 ( t=6.30, P<0.001). The resection angle of ipsilateral facet joint was 69.3°±4.9° and 94.3°±4.1° in the two groups, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-25.00, P<0.001). The decompression rate of ipsilateral disk-flavum space was 39.0%±3.0% and 38.7%±3.3% in the two groups ( t=1.52, P=0.314). On the contralateral side was 41.6%±3.3% and 22.8%±3.2% ( t=26.32, P<0.001), respectively. The ipsilateral osseous side fossa decompression rate in the two groups were 70.0%±4.8% and 59.3%±3.9% ( t=15.64, P<0.001), the contralateral were 73.0%±3.4% and 48.4%±4.3% ( t=28.86, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the decompression rate of ipsilateral disco-flavum space or bony lateral recess between the UBE group and the contralateral group ( t=-1.40, P=0.174; t=-1.72, P=0.096), while the decompression rate of discoflavum space and bony side recess on the ipsilateral side of UE group were higher than those on the contralateral side ( t=28.51, P<0.001; t=13.95, P<0.001). Conclusion:Both UE-ULBD and UBE-ULBD have good short-term clinical efficacy in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. UB is better than UBE in early postoperative pain relief. However, UBE shows better imaging performance in decompression effect and better retention of facet joints.

		                        			Objective:To compare the microbiology, clinical characteristics and therapeutic efficacy of native suppurative spondylitis (NVO) and postoperative suppurative spondylitis (PVO), and analyze the factors affecting the prognosis.Methods:All patients with suppurative spondylitis were retrospectively analyzed from December 2010 to December 2019. A total of 46 patients were enrolled in this study. They were divided into two groups. There were 30 cases in NVO group, 18 males and 12 females; The age was 50.47±20.45 years, aged 15-73 years. There were 16 cases in PVO group, 10 males and 6 females; The age was 52.13±18.80 years, aged 14-73 years. In group NVO, 23 cases (76.7%) were in lumbar vertebrae, 5 cases (16.7%) in thoracic vertebrae and 2 cases (6.7%) in cervical vertebrae; in group PVO, 11 cases (68.8%) in lumbar vertebrae and 5 cases (31.2%) in thoracic vertebrae. Twenty-eight patients had neurological dysfunction before surgery. There were 25 cases of grade D (16 cases in group NVO and 9 cases in group PVO) and 3 cases of grade C (1 case in group NVO and 2 cases in group PVO), following the instructions of American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) neurological function classification. All patients were given bed rest, nutritional support and antibiotic therapy; surgical treatment for patients with poor outcomes or aggravated symptoms. The patients were followed up after operation, the observation indexes included leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C -reactive protein to evaluate the postoperative curative effect. The internal fixation device was evaluated for looseness and fracture by imaging examination. At the same time, the changes of visual analogue scale, ASIA neurological function grade were recorded to evaluate the clinical efficacy.Results:Two patients in NVO group were treated with antibiotics, and all the other patients successfully completed the operation. The diseased tissues were sent for pathological examination during the operation. The results showed that they were diagnosed as suppurative spondylitis. All patients were followed up for 12-24 months. Both groups were treated with intravenous and oral antibiotics, and the time of antibiotic treatment in group PVO was longer than that in group NVO without significant difference ( t=1.74, P=0.088). The leukocyte, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, visual analogue scale (VAS), were significantly improved in both groups at different time points after operation ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in leukocyte, C -reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate or VAS score between the two groups at the same time point after operation ( P>0.05). The neurological function of patients after operation was significantly improved compared with that before operation. In group NVO, 16 cases recovered from ASIA grade D to grade E, 1 case from grade C to grade D; 9 cases in group PVO recovered from grade D to grade E and 2 cases recovered from grade C to grade D. Till the last follow-up, 3 patients in group NVO recurred, the recurrence rate was 10% (3/30); 7 patients in group PVO recurred, the recurrence rate was 43.8%; the recurrence rate of group PVO was higher than that of group NVO, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=5.14, P=0.023). Among 39 patients with spinal internal fixation, 12.8% (1 NVO, 4 PVO) had recurrent infection after internal fixation. Therefore, re-operation was performed to remove the internal fixator for infection control, patients recovered after conservative treatment such as immobilization and systemic anti-infection By univariate analysis, multiple vertebral involvement and abscess formation ( OR=11.00, P=0.006; OR=9.00, P=0.047) were significantly associated with pyogenic spondylitis recurrence; there was a tendency for pyogenic spondylitis recurrence among microbial infection ( OR=1.87, P=0.416), spinal prosthesis ( OR=7.20, P=0.074) and allogenic bone ( OR=1.78, P=0.478), yet not obvious. Multivariate analysis indicated that multiple vertebral involvement ( OR=10.49, P=0.038) was a risk factor for pyogenic spondylitis recurrence. Conclusion:The treatment of PVO is more challenging than NVO, especially in the cases of spinal implant infection. Although the antibiotic treatment time of PVO is longer than that of NVO, the recurrence rate of PVO is higher. Longer antibiotic therapy and, if necessary, surgical debridement or removal of implants are important approaches to successful treatment of PVO.

		                        			Objective    To analyze the incidence and drainage pattern of the specific collateral vein (VL) located between several adjacent segments of the bilateral upper lung, and its clinical significance in the surgical treatment of early lung cancer. Methods    The preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D CTBA) data of 1 515 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2017 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively, including 524 males and 991 females, with an average age of 54.27±11.43 years. There were 712 patients of right upper lung and 803 patients of left upper lung. The incidence and drainage pattern of VL in bilateral upper lungs were analyzed. Furthermore, the imaging data and medical records of 113 patients in the left upper lung were reviewed to investigate the influence of the relative position relationship between nodules and VL on the selection of operation. Results    The overall incidence of VL was 72.7% (1 102/1 515) in the bilateral upper lungs, including 68.0%(484/712) in the right upper lung, and 77.0% (618/803) in the left upper lung. The incidence of VL in the left side was significantly higher than that in the right side (P<0. 05). VL mainly drained into V2a+b (327/484, 67.6%) in the right upper lung and into V1+2b+c (389/618, 62.9%) in the left upper lung. When the spherical simulative cutting margin of 2 cm of the nodule did not involve VL, it was more feasible to undergo sublobectomy than those whose simulative cutting margin of 2 cm involved VL, and the difference was statistically significant (91.9% vs. 61.5%, P<0.05). When the spherical simulative cutting margin of 2 cm of nodule involved VL, the lesion located in the middle or inner zone was more feasible to undergo lobectomy than that in the outer zone, but the difference was not statistically significant (43.8% vs. 34.8%, P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diameter of the lesion, whether the spherical simulative margin of 2 cm involving VL and the depth ratio of the lesion were independent risk factors affecting the surgical options (P<0.05). Conclusion    The incidence of the specific collateral vein in bilateral upper lungs is high, and the drainage pattern is diverse, which has important guiding significance for preoperative planning and intraoperative manipulation. For deep nodules adjacent to VL, lobectomy or resection of left upper division is often performed to ensure a safe margin.

		                        			Objective:Sodium urate was used to induce acute gouty arthritis rat model, and to observe the inflammatory response of rats and the intervention effect of diclofenac sodium on the expression of Toll-like receptor-related (TLR) protein of ankle joint.Methods:Thirty males specific pathogen free (SPF) grade Wistar rats were used to develop the models. Random number table method was used to divide the rats into normal saline control group, model group, and drug group (diclofenac sodium t 1.35 mg/g body weight), 10 rats in each group. After fully grinding the sodium urate crystals, an appropriate amount of saline and Tween-80 (9∶1) was added to make a suspension, and the sodium urate crystals (25 mg/ml) were injected to the right posterior ankle of the rats in the model and drug groups. The solution was 0.2 ml, and rats in the sham group were injected with 0.2 ml of normal saline at the same location. After the model was established, drug and equal volume of purified water were administrated intragastrically once a day for 7 days. The toe volume device was used to measure the joint swelling of the rat (at 4 h, 8 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h) , and blood was taken from the abdominal aorta after anesthesia to determine the rat kidney function, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) content, the rat ankle joint TLR4, myeloid differentiation factor (MyD88), NF-κBp65 protein expression were determined using Western blot and immunohistochemical methods. Multiple comparisons were carried out using single factor analysis of variance (ANOVA), comparing the two groups by using LSD- t, the comparison of different times using repetitive measure analysis of variance (repeated measures). Results:After the models were established, the rat's right ankle joint showed various degrees of redness, slow walking, and unresponsiveness. Compared with the normal saline control group, under the light microscope, the ankle synovial cells of the model group proliferated, with localized degeneration and necrosis, and many inflammatory cell infiltration. The rat serum inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α in the diclofenac sodium group [(24.6±3.3) pg/ml, (151±21) pg/ml, (61±16) pg/ml] were significantly reduce compared with model group [(28.4±4.3) pg/ml, (173±26) pg/ml, (81±5) pg/ml] ( t=2.296, P<0.01; t=2.909, P<0.01; t=2.352, P<0.01). Compared with normal saline group, variance analysis showed that the NF-κBp65, MyD88, TLR4 protein expression of ankle joint detected by Western bolt method and immunohistochemistry method was significantly increased in the model group. Compared with the model group, diclofenac sodium the ankle tissue protein expression of NF-κBp65, MyD88, and TLR4 was significantly inhibited. There were statistical significances in three groups ( P<0.05 or P<0.001). Conclusion:The level of inflammatory factors in acute gout arthritis rats model induced by sodium urate crystals is increased, and the expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-КBp65 proteins in ankle joint tissue is increased, which affects the TLR signaling pathway. Diclofenic has inhibitory and relieving effects.
