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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and potential mechanism of Dihuangyin on 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) -induced model mice with atopic dermatitis (AD). MethodA mouse model with AD was established by repeatedly stimulating the back skin of mice with DNCB. After successful modeling, the mice were randomly divided into model group, Runzao group (0.78 g·kg-1), and high, medium, and low dose (40.30, 20.15, and 10.08 g·kg-1) groups of Dihuangyin, with 12 mice in each group, and the blank group consisted of 12 mice, 72 in total. The administration groups were given the corresponding liquid by dose, and the blank group and model group were given the same dose of pure water by intragastric administration, once a day. The skin lesions and scratching times of mice were observed after continuous administration for two weeks. The back skin lesions of mice were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and toluidine blue to observe the pathology. The contents of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expression levels of IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-6, Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), and transcriptional activator 3 (STAT3) in skin lesion tissue were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The expressions of JAK1, phosphorylation(p)-JAK1, STAT3, and p-STAT3 proteins in skin lesion tissue were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the blank group, the back skin of the model group showed large-scale scab, dryness, erosion, hypertrophy with scratching, epidermal hyperplasia with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, hyperacanthosis with edema, and a large number of mast cell infiltration in the dermis, some of which were degranulated. The contents of IgE, IL-4, IL-6, and IFN-γ in the serum of mice were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the protein expression levels of p-JAK1, STAT3, and p-STAT3 and mRNA expressions of IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, JAK1, and STAT3 in skin lesion tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, only a small amount of dryness and desquamation were observed in the back skin of mice in each administration group, and cell edema was reduced. The inflammatory infiltration was significantly reduced, and the number of mast cell infiltration was significantly decreased. The serum IgE, IL-4, IL-6, and IFN-γ of mice were decreased to varying degrees (P<0.05, P<0.01). The protein expression levels of p-JAK1, STAT3, and p-STAT3 and mRNA expressions of IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, JAK1, and STAT3 in skin lesion tissue were significantly decreased, and the effect of high dose group of Dihuangyin was the best (P<0.01). ConclusionDihuangyin can improve skin lesions and pruritus in mice with AD, and its mechanism may be related to the effective regulation of cytokines on the helper T cells (Th1)/Th2 axis by interfering with the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway and affecting skin barrier function.

Objective To explore the role of miR-199a-3p in osteoblast proliferation induced by fluid shear stress (FSS) and the potential molecular mechanism. Methods Osteoblast MC3T3-E1 was treated with 1. 2 Pa FSS with time gradients of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 min, respectively. MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with miR-199a-3p mimic or miR-199a-3p inhibitor. MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with miR-199a-3p mimic and itsnegative control and then treated with 1. 2 Pa FSS for 45 min. The pc DNA NC, pc DNA-CABLES -1, si RNA NC and si RNA CABLES-1 were transfected into MC3T3-E1 cells. The pc DNA-CABLES-1 and mir-199a-3p mimic and SI NA-cables-1 and miR-199a-3p inhibitor were co-transfected, respectively. Cell activity was detected by CCK-8 assay. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect expression levels of CABLES-1, miR-199a-3p, CDK 6, Cyclin D1 and PCNA. Luciferase reporting assay was used to detect targeting relationship between CABLES-1 and miR-199a-3p. Immunofluorescence was used to detect protein expression of CABLES-1.Western blot was used to detect protein expression of CABLES-1, CDK 6, PCNA and Cyclin D1. Results Mir- 199a-3p in MC3T3-E1 cells was significantly down-regulated by FSS. Over-expressed miR-199a-3p inhibitedosteoblast proliferation, and down-regulated miR-199a-3p expression promoted osteoblast proliferation. miR-199a- 3p could reverse the FSS-induced proliferation in osteoblasts. Dual luciferase assay showed that miR-199a-3p targeted to CABLES-1 and over-expressed miR-199a-3p inhibited expression of CBALES-1 protein. CABLES-1 could promote proliferation of osteoblasts. miR-199a-3p inhibited osteoblast proliferation induced by FSS through CABLES-1. Conclusions FSS-induced osteoblast proliferation can be realized by down-regulated miR-199a-3p expression via targeting CABLES-1. The findings in this study provide new direction for researches on mechanism of FSS-induced osteoblast proliferation, as well as new ideas for future research on clinical application of mechanical loading in the treatment of bone and joint diseases.

Objective:To fabricate tAu@glutathione(GSH)@Gd nanoprobe for tumor angiogenesis bimodal (MR/CT) imaging, and evaluate its characteristics and potential for MR/CT imaging in vivo. Methods:The tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes were constructed by encapsulating Au and Gd atoms into the GSH shell with cyclic asparagine-glycine-arginine (cNGR) peptide conjugation. EMT-6 BALB/c mice subcutaneous transplantation tumor models were established ( n=30) and divided into blank control group (saline), control group (Au@GSH@Gd nanoparticles) and experimental group (tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes) ( n=10 in each group). In vivo MR/CT imaging and distribution study were performed at different time points after tail intravenously injection. Relative MR signal value and relative CT value of tumor site and main organs in mice were used to evaluate MR/CT imaging property and biological distribution. After that, tumor tissues were collected for silver staining to study the accumulation of Au@GSH@Gd nanoparticles and tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes. Independent-sample t test was used for data analysis. Results:The tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes were (6.40±0.22) nm with high T 1 relaxation efficiency ((36.91±0.07) mmol·L -1·s -1). MR/CT imaging of tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes showed good performance in vitro. In vivo MR/CT imaging demonstrated MR/CT imaging of tumor was significantly enhanced by tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes after 2 h post injection. The strongest enhancement was observed at 24 h, with an increased relative MR signal value from 1.04±0.12 (before injection) to 1.84±0.26 ( t=12.61, P=0.006), and increased relative CT value from 1.01±0.04 (before injection) to 1.95±0.05 ( t=15.34, P=0.004). The highest MR/CT effect in control group appeared at 16 h, with the relative MR signal value of 1.50±0.06 and the relative CT value of 1.53±0.10, which were significantly lower than those in experimental group (1.84±0.26 and 1.95±0.05; t values: 5.35 and 16.46, both P<0.05). Distribution in normal tissues showed that most of tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes were metabolized through the kidneys. Tissue silver staining experiment verified the tumor angiogenesis targeting effect. Conclusion:The tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes exhibit favorable tumor angiogenesis target MR/CT imaging ability, providing a new design concept and basis for assessing tumor angiogenesis.

The development of multifunctional nanocontrast agents with high sensitivity, high specificity, and low toxicity so that they can precisely localize tumors and reflect tumor biological information in real time is the core of promoting the development of tumor molecular imaging technology and realizing early and precise tumor diagnosis. Polydopamine (PDA) nanomaterials are bionanomaterials with a structure extremely similar to that of natural melanin. They can be easily fabricated and functionalized, and can achieve controlled assembly of functional molecules such as contrast components and targeting ligands via metal coordination, π-π stacking, electrostatic adsorption, and other methods. They have good biocompatibility and biodegradability, show great potential for clinical translation, and have been widely used in molecular imaging of tumors. In this review paper, the preclinical studies of PDA nanoparticles are reviewed as well as the synthesis methods, functionalized modification, and assembly strategies of PDA nanoparticles and their applications in tumor molecular imaging. The development trends of PDA are also presented to promote their application in the field of tumor molecular imaging.

Objective:To dynamically observe the effect of N-acetylserotonin (NAS) on the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) protein in retina of retinal ischemia reperfusion injury (RIRI) rats, and to explore the mechanism.Methods:By using random number table method, 90 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham operation group ( n=10), RIRI group ( n=40), and NAS group ( n=40). The right eye was as the experimental eye. In the RIRI group and NAS group, the anterior chamber high intraocular pressure method was used to establish the RIRI model. In the NAS group, 10 mg/kg NAS was injected intraperitoneally before modeling and 30 minutes after modeling. At 6, 12, 24, 72 h after modeling, hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the retina, and the retinal ganglion cells (RGC) were counted. Each group was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot about the relative expression of TNF-α, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein in the rat retina. Oneway analysis of variance was used for differences between groups. The general linear regression method was used to analyze the correlation between the relative expression changes of TNF-α protein and the changes of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein expression after NAS intervention. Results:Optical microscope observation revealed that the retinal edema of rats in the RIRI group was observed at 6, 12, and 24 h after modeling; the thickness of the retina in the NAS group was significantly thinner than that in the RIRI group, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=9.645, 477.150, 2.432; P<0.01). At 6, 12, 24, and 72 h after modeling, the retinal RGC counts in the NAS group were significantly higher than those in the RIRI group, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=12.225, 12.848, 117.655, 306.394; P<0.05). The results of immunohistochemical staining and Western blot showed that 6 h after modeling, the relative expression of TNF-α protein in the retina of the RIRI group increased significantly compared with that in the sham operation group, reaching a higher level at 12 h, and decreased at 24 and 72 h. But all were significantly higher than the sham operation group, the difference was statistically significant (immunohistochemical staining: F=105.893, 1 356.076, 434.026, 337.351; P<0.01; Western blot: F=92.906, 534.948, 327.600, 385.324; P<0.01). At different time points after modeling, the relative expression of TNF-α protein in the retina of the NAS group was significantly lower than that of the RIRI group (immunohistochemical staining: F=15.408, 570.482, 21.070, 13.767; P<0.05; Western blot: F=12.618, 115.735, 13.176, 111.108; P<0.05), but still higher than the sham operation group (immunohistochemical staining: F=40.709, 151.032, 156.321, 216.035; P<0.01; Western blot: F=33.943, 79.729, 74.057, 64.488; P<0.01), the difference was statistically significant; 12 h after modeling, Nrf2 in the retina of the NAS group (immunohistochemical staining: F=51.122, P<0.05; Western blot: F=33.972, P<0.05), HO-1 (immunohistochemical staining: F=30.750, P<0.05; Western blot: F=18.283, P<0.05) protein relative expression was significantly higher than that of RIRI group, and the differences were statistically significant. The results of linear regression analysis showed that the difference in the number of TNF-α + cells in the RIRI group and the NAS group was negatively correlated with the difference in the number of Nrf2 + and HO-1 + cells ( r 2=0.923, 0.936; P<0.01). Conclusions:NAS can inhibit the expression of TNF-α protein in the retina of RIRI rats and reduce RIRI. The mechanism may be related to the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for constructing and improving the pharmacovigilance signal management sys - tem in China by comparing signal management system among the European Union (EU),the United States (U. S. )and Japan. METHODS:Literature analysis method was used to systematically compare the similarities and differences on definitions ,sources, detection methods and management process of pharmacovigilance signals among EU ,U. S. and Japan. Some suggestions were put forward for pharmacovigilance management in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :Regulatory authorities of the EU ,U. S. and Japan did not have a uniform definition on signals ;EU drug administration adopted the definition of the eighth working group of Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences ,FDA adopted its own definition ,while the Japanese regulatory agency had no clear definition. Currently ,post-marketing surveillance still relied mainly on spontaneous reporting systems ;EU,U. S. and Japan had carried out the signal detection based on the spontaneous reporting system ;EU mainly adopted the proportional reporting ratio method ,U. S. mainly adopts the multiple gamma Poisson Shrinker ,and Japan mainly adopted the reporting ratio method. EU had special guidelines for signal management process ,while the U. S. and Japan did not. It is recommended to accelerate the deve- lopment of the legal and regulatory framework on pharmacovigilance in China ,draw up guidelines on pharmacovigilance practices , strengthen the active ADR surveillance and promote the application of data mining techniques in signal detection field ,for accelerat - ing the standardization and internationalization of China ’s pharmacovigilance work.

Objective:To examine the efficacy of docetaxel, carboplatin plus trastuzumab regimen (TCH) as neoadjuvant setting in early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer.Methods:Totally 522 patients diagnosed with early-stage HER2 positive breast cancer at Breast Disease Center, Peking University First Hospital between January 2013 to December 2018 were enrolled, which constituted 21.8% (522/2 394) of early-stage invasive breast cancer. Clinical pathological factors were retrospectively analyzed. There were 113 female patients underwent TCH neoadjuvant chemotherapy, aging 52(13) years (range: 23 to 69 years). Pathologic complete pathological response(pCR) was defined as ypT0N0M0, and the rate of pCR was calculated. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival comparison.Results:Patients who received trastuzumab-based therapy( n=294) had higher disease-free survival (DFS) compared with those who omitted trastuzumab( n=177) (84.4% vs. 72.4%, χ2=4.095, P=0.046). Eighteen of 113 patients (15.9%) experienced grade 3 to 4 chemotherapy-realted toxicity. Grade 3 to 4 neutropenia occurred in 12 patients, while grade 3 to 4 diarrhea occurred in 6 patients. Thirty-one of 113 (27.4%) patients achieved pCR. DFS and overall survival (OS) were similar between patients who achieved pCR and non-pCR (DFS: 91.8% vs. 85.0%, OS: 92.5% vs. 90.5%, all P>0.05). According to Miller-Payne system, patients who achieved G4 to G5 had improved DFS compared with G1 to G3 (89.6% vs. 81.5%, χ2=5.340, P=0.021), but they had similar OS (91.4% vs. 89.1%, χ2=1.008, P=0.315). Conclusions:TCH is an effective regimen in neoadjuvant setting for patients with HER2 positive breast cancer. Patients who achieved G4 to G5 had improved DFS.
