Objective To evaluate the surgical efficacy of unilateral pneumonectomy for the treatment of tuberculous destroyed lung, analyze the causes of severe postoperative complications, and explore clinical management strategies. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with tuberculous destroyed lung who underwent unilateral pneumonectomy at the Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu from 2017 to 2023. Postoperative severe complications were statistically analyzed. Patients were divided into a non-severe complication group and a severe-complication group, and the causes, management, and outcomes of complications were analyzed. Results A total of 134 patients were included, comprising 69 males and 65 females, with a mean age of 17-73 (40.43±12.69) years. There were 93 patients undergoing left pneumonectomy and 41 patients undergoing right pneumonectomy. Preoperative sputum smear was positive in 35 patients, all of which converted to negative postoperatively. There were 58 patients with hemoptysis preoperatively, and none experienced hemoptysis postoperatively. Postoperative incisional infection occurred in 8 (5.97%) patients, and postoperative pulmonary infection in 26 (19.40%) patients. Severe postoperative complications occurred in 17 (12.69%) patients, including empyema in 9 (6.72%) patients, bronchopleural fistula with empyema in 1 (0.75%) patient, severe pneumonia in 3 (2.24%) patients, postpneumonectomy syndrome in 1 (0.75%) patient, chylothorax in 1 (0.75%) patient, ketoacidosis in 1 (0.75%) patient, and heart failure with severe pneumonia in 1 (0.75%) patient. Perioperative mortality occurred in 2 (1.49%) patients, both of whom underwent right pneumonectomy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a history of ipsilateral thoracic surgery, concomitant Aspergillus infection, and greater blood loss were independent risk factors for severe complications following unilateral pneumonectomy for tuberculous destroyed lung (P<0.05). Conclusion Unilateral pneumonectomy for patients with tuberculous destroyed lung can significantly improve the clinical cure rate, sputum conversion rate, and hemoptysis cessation rate. However, there is a certain risk of severe perioperative complications and mortality, requiring thorough perioperative management and appropriate management of postoperative complications.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Ershiwuwei Guijiu pill in preventing and treating postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) by activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway and inhibiting excessive autophagy. MethodFemale SD rats were ovariectomized and randomly divided into the sham operation group (Sham), the operation group (OVX), the Ershiwuwei Guijiu pill (GJ) group, and the raloxifene hydrochloride (RLX) group, with 10 rats in each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and colorimetric methods were used to detect the levels of estrogen, bone metabolism markers in serum, and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in tibial tissue. Flow cytometry was used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Masson staining was used to observe pathological changes in the proximal tibia, and micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) was used to observe changes in tibial microstructural parameters. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of autophagy-related proteins Beclin1, microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3), autophagy-related 5 (Atg5), as well as PI3K, Akt, and mTOR in tibial tissue. ResultCompared with the Sham group, the OVX group showed a significant decrease in serum levels of estradiol (E2) and calcium ion (Ca2+), and T-SOD, GSH-Px, PI3K, Akt, and mTOR mRNA levels in bone tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly reduced bone mineral density (BMD), bone surface/bone volume (BS/BV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular connectivity (Con) in the tibia (P<0.05, P<0.01), thinner epiphyseal growth plate, and the bone marrow cavity filled with fat vacuoles. Moreover, the levels of phosphorus (P), MDA, ROS, and mRNA and protein expression of Beclin1, LC3, and Atg5, as well as trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) were significantly elevated (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the OVX group, the GJ and RLX groups showed significant increases in serum E2 and Ca2+, and bone tissue levels of SOD, GSH-Px, and the mRNA levels of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly increased BMD, BS/BV, Tb.Th, Tb.N, and Con in the tibia, thickened epiphyseal growth plate, and significantly reduced fat vacuoles in the bone marrow cavity (P<0.05, P<0.01). Additionally, the levels of P, MDA, ROS, Beclin1, LC3, Atg5 mRNA and proteins, and Tb.Sp were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR, which were significantly reduced in the OVX group (P<0.01), were significantly increased in the GJ and RLX groups (P<0.01). ConclusionThe Ershiwuwei Guijiu pill reduces oxidative stress and inhibits autophagy, thereby preventing and treating postmenopausal osteoporosis. Its mechanism may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, which inhibits autophagy.
