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 ameliorative effect of paeonol on acute alcohol-induced hepatic inflammation in mice via the regulation of the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-specific receptor GPR43/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. MethodsC57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups: blank control group, model group, low-dose paeonol group (120 mg·kg-1), high-dose paeonol group (480 mg·kg-1), and silybin group (36.8 mg·kg-1). A mouse model of alcohol-induced liver disease (ALD) was established by ad libitum administration of a Lieber-DeCarli alcohol liquid diet. Serum lipid levels, liver function, inflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress markers were measured. Liver hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Oil Red O staining were performed to validate successful modeling. Western blot analysis was used to assess the expression levels of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), Claudin-1, and proteins related to the GPR43/MAPK signaling pathway in the colonic tissue. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the protein expression of GPR43, ZO-1, and Claudin-1 in the colon. Then 16S rDNA sequencing was performed to analyze differences in intestinal flora between the model group and the high-dose paeonol group. Additionally, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiments were conducted to validate the regulatory effect of paeonol on ALD via modulation of intestinal flora. ResultsCompared with the blank control group, the model group showed significantly elevated serum lipid levels, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokine expression (P<0.01). Liver histology revealed increased inflammatory infiltration and lipid droplet accumulation. Colonic mucosal injury and impaired intestinal barrier function were observed. Levels of MAPK pathway-related proteins in the colonic tissue were upregulated (P<0.01), while GPR43, ZO-1, and Claudin-1 protein expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The composition and abundance of the intestinal flora were markedly altered, with a reduced Bacteroidetes-to-Firmicutes ratio and decreased relative abundances of Eubacterium, Parabacteroides, Erysipelothrix, and Adlercreutzia, alongside increased abundances of Clostridium butyricum, Enterococcus, and Helicobacter pylori in the model group. Compared with the model group, paeonol significantly reduced serum lipid levels, oxidative stress responses, and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in ALD mice (P<0.05, P<0.01). It also attenuated hepatic lipid accumulation, restored intestinal barrier function, and repaired the structural integrity of liver and colonic tissues. The protein expression levels of ZO-1, Claudin-1, and GPR43 in the colonic tissue were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), while those of MAPK pathway-related proteins were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The intestinal flora dysbiosis was effectively alleviated, rendering its composition closer to that of normal mice. The efficacy of paeonol in modulating ALD was further confirmed by FMT experiments, supporting its mechanistic involvement in the SCFAs-GPR43/MAPK signaling pathway. ConclusionPaeonol exerts a protective effect against ALD in mice, which may be mediated through regulation of the SCFAs-GPR43/MAPK signaling pathway, thereby achieving anti-inflammatory effects and improving intestinal barrier function.

Objective:
To explore the changes in ribosomal DNA copy number in peripheral blood among patients with pneumoconiosis and its influencing factors, so as to provide insights into prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis.
Methods:
Eighty-eight patients with pneumoconiosis who visited a designated hospital and 71 community residents with no history of pneumoconiosis or dust exposure were selected as the pneumoconiosis group and control group, and age, smoking history, drinking history and cumulative years of exposure to dust were collected through questionnaire surveys. The copy number of 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA was detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the differences between the two groups were compared. Factors affecting the copy number of 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA were identified by a multiple linear regression model.
Results:
The pneumoconiosis group had a median age of 56.00 (interquartile range, 15.25) and a mean cumulative dust exposure duration of (12.40±8.08) years, with 56.82% smoking and 62.50% drinking. The control group had a median age of 64.00 (interquartile range, 37.00) years, with 32.39% smoking and 26.76% drinking. The median copy number of 45S rDNA in the pneumoconiosis group was 1.29 (interquartile range, 0.59), which was lower than 2.10 (interquartile range, 1.88) in the control group; the median copy number of 5S rDNA in the pneumoconiosis group was 5.33 (interquartile range, 0.85), which was higher than 4.66 (1.34) in the control group (both P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis identified age (β=-0.034) and pneumoconiosis (β=-1.595) as factors affecting 45S rDNA copy number, age (β=-0.013) as a factor affecting 5S rDNA copy number, and age (β=0.018) as a factor affecting 5S rDNA copy number in the pneumoconiosis group (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
Compared with community residents with no history of pneumoconiosis or dust exposure, the copy number of 45S rDNA in peripheral blood among patients with pneumoconiosis is reduced and the copy number of 5S rDNA is increased.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and dosimetric parameters associated with acute hematologic toxicity (AHT) resulting from radiation-induced damage to hematopoietic organs in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer and to provide a reference for establishing dose constraints in relevant regions of interest (ROIs) and predicting adverse tissue reactions during the development of clinical treatment plans. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 556 patients with cervical cancer who underwent chemoradiotherapy at our hospital. Univariate (χ2 and t-test) and multivariate (binary logistic regression analyses) methods were employed to investigate the association of clinical factors and pelvic dose-volume parameters with grade ≥ 3 AHT in patients with cervical cancer. Clinical factors comprised patients’ age, clinical stage, pathologic stage, whether the patient had received chemotherapy in the radiotherapy cycle of interest, and dose-volume dosimetric parameters Vx and Dmean for pelvic bone marrow (BM) and femoral head (FH) structures. Results The incidence of AHT among the included cases was 30.4% (169/556). Chi-square analysis of the clinical factors revealed that whether the patient had received chemotherapy, patient’s age, and pathologic stage had a significant impact on AHT. Univariate analysis showed that the factors associated with AHT were mean dose, V5, V10, V15, V20, and V25 of BM and FH; dosimetric parameters such as V35 of FH had a significant impact on the development of AHT. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified V15 of pelvic BM as an independent risk factor for AHT (P=0.041), with a threshold value of 84.29% as determined by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Conclusion Whether a patient had received chemotherapy in the radiotherapy cycle of interest, and patient’s age and pathologic stage can serve as predictors of AHT. V15 of BM is an independent risk factor for AHT development. Therefore, when formulating a treatment plan, it is crucial to ensure that pelvic V15 remains below 84.29% to effectively reduce the incidence of grade ≥ 3 acute bone marrow depression.

BACKGROUND:High-methionine diet can cause liver injury in Cbs+/-mice,and hyperhomocystinemia is related to the occurrence and progression of various liver-related diseases,such as hepatic steatosis,autoimmune hepatitis,and alcoholic fatty liver disease.MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are involved in various cellular processes including cell survival,differentiation and autophagy,which are of great significance. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the critical role of miR-144-3p on Cbs+/-mouse hepatocyte autophagy induced by high methionine die. METHODS:(1)Ten male cystathione-β-synthase normal(Cbs+/+)mice and another 10 male mice with single gene knockout(Cbs+/-)of similar body mass,4 weeks of age,were fed a high-methionine diet and executed after 12 weeks to take liver tissue.(2)Human hepatocytes(HL-7702)were cultured in vitro and divided into control[0 μmol/L homocysteine(Hcy)],Hcy(100 μmol/L Hcy),mimic-NC(transfected with mimic-NC),mimic-NC + Hcy(mimic-NC transfecton+100 μmol/L Hcy),miR-144-3p mimic(transfected with miR-144-3p mimic),and miR-144-3p mimic + Hcy(miR-144-3p mimic transfection+100 μ mol/L Hcy),inhibitor-NC(transfected with inhibitor-NC),inhibitor-NC + Hcy(inhibitor-NC transfection + 100 μmol/L Hcy),miR-144-3p inhibitor(transfected with miR-144-3p inhibitor),and miR-144-3p inhibitor + Hcy(miR-144-3p inhibitor transfection + 100 μmol/L Hcy).Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-144-3p in liver tissue and hepatocytes.After transfection of miR-144-3p mimic or inhibitor,quantitative real-time PCR and western blot were used to detect the transfection efficiency of miR-144-3p and its effect on the expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3B and p62.The levels of alanine transferase and aspartate aminotransferase in hepatocyte supernatants were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The correlation between the expression of miR-144-3 in hepatocyte and the levels of alanine transferase and aspartate aminotransferase in hepatocyte supernatants were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the Cbs+/+ group and control group,the expression of miR-144-3p in the liver tissue of the Cbs+/-group and in hepatocytes of the Hcy group was decreased(P<0.01).The expression of LC3B-Ⅱ/Ⅰ was decreased in hepatocyte after transfection of miR-144-3p mimic,while the protein expression of p62 was increased(P<0.01).The opposite results were obtained after transfection of miR-144-3p inhibitor(P<0.01).Compared with the mimic-NC group,the levels of alanine transferase and aspartate aminotransferase were decreased in the miR-144-3p mimic group(P<0.01),while the opposite results were obtained in the inhibitor-NC group(P<0.01).The expression of miR-144-3p in hepatocytes was negatively correlated with the levels of alanine transferase(P<0.01,r=-0.887 6)and aspartate aminotransferase(P<0.01,r=-0.829 9)in the supernatant of hepatocytes.To conclude,Hcy promotes hepatocyte autophagy by inhibiting the expression of miR-144-3p,which subsequently aggravates liver injury.
