Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. With the prevalence of CT screening and early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in China, more and more patients with early-stage lung cancer characterized with ground-glass opacity are discovered and urgently require treatment, which poses a significant challenge to surgeons. As an emerging technology, three dimensional reconstruction technology plays a crucial auxiliary role in clinical work. This review aims to briefly introduce this technology, focusing on its latest advances in surgical applications in early lung cancer screening, malignant risk assessment, and perioperative period application and medical education.

Bladder cancer （BCa） is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system， and its incidence is increasing year by year. At present， for all patients with resectable non-metastatic muscle-invasive BCa， radical cystectomy + bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is strongly recommended， but they still face the risk of recurrence， metastasis and death. In recent years， the proportion of patients with advanced and metastatic BCa is increasing among patients with newly diagnosed BCa. Although current treatment models are diverse， they often struggle to achieve significant efficacy due to their low effectiveness and adverse effects， resulting in low survival rates for patients with advanced and metastatic BCa. Therefore， the treatment of BCa still faces great challenges， and there is an urgent need to discover an effective new antitumor drug. With the improvement of medical standards， traditional Chinese medicine has shown great advantages in the treatment of BCa. Traditional Chinese medicine is mild and easy to accept， and can inhibit tumor progression through a multi-pathway， multi-way and multi-target manner， so as to exert its anticancer effect. Taraxaci Herba is a medicinal and food homologous plant， which has many biological activities， such as antibacterial， anti-inflammatory， anti-oxidation， anti-tumor， protecting liver and gallbladder， reducing blood sugar and enhancing immunity， and it has shown a clear anticancer effect in breast cancer， liver cancer， gastric cancer， tongue cancer and lung cancer. By reviewing previous studies worldwide， this article summarizes the mechanism of Taraxaci Herba extract in inducing autophagy and apoptosis， inhibiting cell migration and invasion， regulating cell cycle and proliferation， regulating cell metabolism， inhibiting tumor angiogenesis， combining the effects of chemotherapeutic drugs， and regulating the transduction of related signal pathways. On this basis， this study systematically elaborates on the potential mechanism of Taraxaci Herba against BCa， in order to provide a theoretical basis for the research and treatment of BCa.

Plant bioreactor is a new production platform for expression of recombinant protein, which is one of the cores of molecular farming. In this study, the anti DYKDDDDK (FLAG) antibody was recombinantly expressed in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) and purified. FLAG antibody with high affinity was obtained after immunizing mice for several times and its sequence was determined. Based on this, virus vectors expressing heavy chain (HC) and light chain (LC) inoculated into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by using Agrobacterium-mediated delivery. Accumulation of the HC and LC was analyzed by SDS/PAGE followed by Western blotting probed with specific antibodies from 2 to 9 days postinfiltration (dpi). Accumulation of the FLAG antibody displayed at 3 dpi, and reached a maximum at 5 dpi. It was estimated that 66 mg of antibody per kilogram of fresh leaves could be obtained. After separation and purification, the antibody was concentrated to 1 mg/mL. The 1:10 000 diluted antibody can probe with 1 ng/mL FLAG fused antigen well, indicating the high affinity of the FLAG antibody produced in plants. In conclusion, the plant bioreactor is able to produce high affinity FLAG antibodies, with the characteristics of simplicity, low cost and highly added value, which contains enormous potential for the rapid and abundant biosynthesis of antibodies.

Objective:To explore the effect of goal directed training(GDT)on motor function of children with severe ce-rebral palsy and to provide evidence for clinical application. Method:A prospective case-control study was conducted with 80 children with severe cerebral palsy,random-ly divided into the study group(n=40)and the control group(n=40).The study group received GDT,while the control group received Neurodevelopment therapy(NDT).The children of the two groups were evaluated by supine and prone position(area A)and sitting position(area B)of 88 items of the gross motor function measure(GMFM-88),visual tracking(area A)and upper limb joint activity(area B)of fine motor function measure(FMFM),level of sitting scale(LSS)and activity daily living scale(ADL)before and at 6-month,12-month after the treatment. Result:After 6 months of treatment,there was no significant difference in GMFM-88 area A and B score,LSS score,FMFM area A and B score and ADL score between the study group and the control group(P＞0.05),whereas after 12 months of treatment,the scores of the research group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).As treatment duration increased,the scores of both groups increased.Group classification,time and the interaction between time and group had significant effects on GMFM-A,GMFM-B,LSS and FMFM-B scores.Time and interaction between time and group had significant effects on FMFM-A and ADL scores. Conclusion:GDT can improve gross motor function,sitting ability,fine motor function,and the activities of daily living in children with severe cerebral palsy.

Objective To investigate whether 3D-guided cone-shaped segmentectomy can achieve comparable long-term outcomes with lobectomy for deep early-stage lung cancer with diameter≤2 cm. Methods We retrospectively screened patients with deep early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with diameter≤2 cm who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2012 to 2018. All pulmonary segmentectomy was performed using 3D-guided cone-shaped segmentectomy with segment or subsegment as the resection unit. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed by Cox proportional hazard regression model. The patients who underwent segmentectomy and lobectomy were matched 1∶1 by propensity-score matching analysis. The oncological outcomes of two groups were compared. Results Our cohort was divided into a segmentectomy group (n=222) and a lobectomy group (n=127). The age, total nodule size, solid component size and proportion of pure solid nodule in the lobectomy group were significantly higher than those in the segmentectomy group. The median follow-up time was 49 months. Surgical margins were negative in all patients. The local recurrence rate of segmentectomy was 0.45%. The disease-free survival (DFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate of patients in the segmentectomy group were significantly better than those in the lobectomy group (5-year DFS rate: 98.64% vs. 89.77%, P<0.001; 5-year OS rate: 99.55% vs. 92.10%, P<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the differences between two groups were not significant [DFS rate: HR=0.52. 95%CI (0.11, 2.59), P=0.427; OS rate: HR=0.08. 95%CI (0.00, 3.24), P=0.179] after adjusting for other factors. After propensity score matching, 77 patients were preserved in both segmentectomy group and lobectomy group, with the mean nodule size of 1.44 cm and 1.49 cm and the mean consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) of 0.46 and 0.52, respectively. There was no statistical difference in DFS rate (P=0.640) or OS rate (P=0.310) between the two groups. Conclusion 3D-guided cone-shaped segmentectomy can be an acceptable treatment for low-grade malignant NSCLC deep in lung parenchyma with diameter≤2 cm, and its oncology effect is not inferior to lobectomy.

Background and objective Current studies suggest that for early-stage lung cancers with a component of ground-glass opacity measuring ≤2 cm,sublobar resection is suitable if it ensures adequate margins.However,lobectomy may be necessary for some cases to achieve this.The aim of this study was to explore the impact of size and depth on surgical techniques for wedge resection,segmentectomy,and lobectomy in early-stage lung cancer ≤2 cm,and to determine methods for ensuring a safe resection margin during sublobar resections.Methods Clinical data from 385 patients with early-stage lung can-cer ≤2 cm,who underwent lung resection in 2022,were subject to a retrospective analysis,covering three types of procedures:wedge resection,segmentectomy and lobectomy.The depth indicator as the OA value,which is the shortest distance from the inner edge of a pulmonary nodule to the opening of the corresponding bronchus,and the AB value,which is the distance from the inner edge of the nodule to the pleura,were measured.For cases undergoing lobectomy and segmentectomy,three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography(3D-CTBA)was performed to statistically determine the number of subsegments required for segmentectomy.The cutting margin width for wedge resection and segmentectomy was recorded,as well as the specific subsegments and their quantities removed during lung segmentectomy were documented.Results In wedge resection,segmentectomy,and lobectomy,the sizes of pulmonary nodules were(1.08±0.29)cm,(1.31±0.34)cm and(1.50±0.35)cm,respectively,while the depth of the nodules(OA values)was 6.05(5.26,6.85)cm,4.43(3.27,5.43)cm and 3.04(1.80,4.18)cm for each procedure,showing a progressive increasing trend(P＜0.001).The median resec-tion margin width obtained from segmentectomy was 2.50(1.50,3.00)cm,significantly greater than the 1.50(1.15,2.00)cm from wedge resection(P＜0.001).In wedge resections,cases where AB value＞2 cm demonstrated a higher proportion of cases with resection margins less than 2 cm compared to those with margins greater than 2 cm(29.03％vs 12.90％,P=0.019).When utilizing the size of the nodule as the criterion for resection margin,the instances with AB value＞2 cm continued to show a higher proportion in the ratio of margin distance to tumor size less than 1(37.50％vs 17.39％,P=0.009).The median number of subsegments for segmentectomy was three,whereas lobectomy cases requiring segmentectomy involved five subsegments(P＜0.001).Conclusion The selection of the surgical approach for lung resection is influenced by both the size and depth of pulmonary nodules.This study first confirms that larger portions of lung tissue must be removed for nodules that are deeper and larger to achieve a safe margin.A distance of ≤2 cm from the inner edge of the pulmonary nodule to the nearest pleura may be the ideal indication for performing wedge resection.

Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)intervention on norepinephrine(NE)andα2A adrenergic receptors(α2A-R)in the dorsal root ganglion(DRG)of mice with spared nerve injury(SNI).Methods:Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham surgery group(Sham),model group(SNI),negative control EA group(SNI+NC-EA),and EA group(SNI+EA).Mechanical and thermal stimuli were used to measure the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold(PWMT)and paw withdrawal thermal latency(PWTL).Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the sprouting of sympathetic nerve fibers and the co-localization of α2A-R with large-diameter sensory neurons in mouse DRG.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)kits were used to measure NE levels in mouse serum and DRG,and Western Blot was used to detect tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)and α2A-R expression levels in DRG.Results:After SNI,the PWMT and PWTL were significantly decreased,and after electroacupuncture treatment,PWMT and PWTL were reversed and increased.Immune fluorescence staining showed that sympathetic ganglion sprouting increased in DRG after SNI,and significantly decreased after electroacupuncture;After SNI,NE,α2A-R,and TH in DRG all significantly increased,and their expression decreased after electroacupuncture intervention,but NE in the serum did not change significantly.Conclusion:In the SNI model,electroacupuncture may regulate the sympathetic-sensory coupling by inhibiting the release of NE and the expression of α2A-R in DRG,thereby producing analgesic effects.

Objective:To explore the causal relationship between human immune cells and hypertrophic scar (HS) using two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) method.Methods:This study was based on two-sample MR method, and the datasets of 731 immune cells and HS were obtained from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) catalog database and Finngen database, respectively. A significance threshold was established to discern single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) significantly correlated with immune cells or HS, thereby eliminating the impact of weak instrumental variable bias. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method (meanwhile, the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure of false discovery rate (FDR) to adjust P values) was used for preliminary detection of the causal relationship between immune cells and HS and screen the immune cells that had a significant causal relationship with HS. Further, the causal relationship between the selected immune cells and HS was detected through five two-sample MR methods: IVW method, weighted median method, simple mode method, weighted mode method, and MR-Egger method, and the scatter plot was drawn. SNPs conformed to the hypothesis were subjected to Cochran Q test for heterogeneity assessment, MR-Egger regression coupled with MR-PRESSO to eliminate horizontal pleiotropic effects, and a leave-one-out analysis was also conducted to determine if significant results were driven by individual SNP. Finally, the IVW method contained in the two-sample MR analysis was utilized to inversely examine the causal relationship between HS and immune cells. Results:The number of SNPs in 731 immune cells reaching the significance threshold varied from 7 to 1 786, while in HS, 119 SNPs met the significance threshold, with the F values of all SNPs being greater than 10, suggesting a low likelihood of bias from weak instrumental variables. The IVW method revealed that 60 types of immune cells potentially had a causal relationship with HS (with all P values <0.05), and after adjustment using the BH method, only CD45RA and CD39 positive regulatory T cell (Treg) maintained a potentially strong causal relationship with HS ( PFDR<0.05). The IVW method (with odds ratio of 1.16 and 95% confidence interval of 1.08-1.24, P<0.05, PFDR<0.05), weighted median method (with odds ratio of 1.16 and 95% confidence interval of 1.05-1.28, P<0.05), weighted mode method (with odds ratio of 1.14 and 95% confidence interval of 1.02-1.27, P<0.05), and MR-Egger method (with odds ratio of 1.18 and 95% confidence interval of 1.07-1.30, P<0.05) of scatter plot all suggested a causal relationship between the 14 SNPs of CD45RA and CD39 positive Treg and risk of HS, only simple mode method of scatter plot suggested a not obvious relationship between the 14 SNPs of CD45RA and CD39 positive Treg and risk of HS ( P>0.05). Cochran Q test indicated no heterogeneity in the causal relationship between CD45RA on CD39 positive Treg and HS ( P>0.05). MR-Egger regression and MR-PRESSO analyses showed that there was no horizontal pleiotropy in the significant causal relationship between CD45RA and CD39 positive Treg and HS ( P>0.05). Leave-one-out analysis confirmed that the significant causal relationship between CD45RA and CD39 positive Treg and HS remained stable after sequentially removing individual SNP. Reverse two-sample MR analysis showed that HS had no potential causal relationship with any of the 731 types of immune cells ( P>0.05). Conclusions:From the perspective of genetics, it is revealed that immune cells CD45RA and CD39 positive Treg may increase the risk of HS.
