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.

Methods:
Data were collected from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program dataset from 2011 to 2018. The cohort was divided into patients with LOS up to 1 day (LOS ≤1 day), defined as same day or next-morning discharge, and patients with LOS >1 day (LOS >1 day). Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed to evaluate predictors of LOS >1 day. Propensity-score matching was performed to compare pre- and postdischarge complication rates.
Results:
A total of 12,664 eligible patients with TLIF were identified, of which 14.8% had LOS ≤1 day and 85.2% had LOS >1 day. LOS >1 day was positively associated with female sex, Hispanic ethnicity, diagnosis of spondylolisthesis, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification 3, and operation length of >150 minutes. Patients with LOS >1 day were more likely to undergo intraoperative/postoperative blood transfusion (0.3% vs. 4.5%, p<0.001) and reoperation (0.1% vs. 0.6%, p=0.004). No significant differences in the rates of postdischarge complications were found between the matched groups.
Conclusions
Patients with worsened preoperative status, preoperative diagnosis of spondylolisthesis, and prolonged operative time are more likely to require prolonged hospitalization and blood transfusions and undergo unplanned reoperation. To reduce the risk of prolonged hospitalization and associated complications, patients indicated for TLIF should be carefully selected.

A 38-year-old female presented with irregular menstruation and hirsutism that started at age of 16 and diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at age of 29 with elevated testosterone. When treated with ethinestradiol cyproterone tablets, her menstruation returned to normal and androgen levels was not changed. At age of 38 she was referred to the hospital with infertility, a diagnosis of nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency was confirmed using 17-hydroxyprogesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, a cosyntropin-stimulation test and genetic test. This case suggested that nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia should be considered when a patient is presented with oligomenorrhea, hirsutism with hyperandrogenemia and infertility.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for esophagogastric anastomotic leakage (EGAL) after esophageal cancer surgery, and to establish a risk prediction model for early prevention and treatment. Methods Clinical data of patients undergoing esophagectomy in our hospital from January 2013 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The independent risk factors for postoperative EGAL were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, and a clinical nomogram prediction model was established. According to whether EGAL occurred after operation, the patients were divided into an anastomotic fistula group and a non-anastomotic fistula group. Results A total of 303 patiens were enrolled, including 267 males and 36 females with a mean age of 62.30±7.36 years. The incidence rate of postoperative EGAL was 15.2% (46/303). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high blood pressure, chronic bronchitis, peptic ulcer, operation way, the number of lymph node dissected, anastomotic way, the number of intraoperative chest drainage tube, tumor location, no-supplementing albumin in the first three days after operation, postoperative pulmonary infection, postoperative use of bronchoscope were the independent risk factors for EGAL after esophageal cancer surgery (P<0.05). A prognostic nomogram model was established based on these factors with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.954 (95%CI 0.924-0.975), indicating a high predictive value. Conclusion The clinical prediction model based on 11 perioperative risk factors in the study has a good evaluation efficacy and can promote the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of EGAL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the different therapeutic effects of different formulations of recombinant human growth hormone on idiopathic short stature and the related factors before treatment. METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed on children aged 4-8 years who were diagnosed as idiopathic short stature at the Child Health Department of Sichuan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 and treated with different formulation of recombinant human growth hormone. The changes of height growth value and growth factor levels of children in different groups during different treatment periods were compared. At the same time, Logistic regression analysis was carried out on the related factors affecting the effect of height growth before treatment. RESULTS There was no significant difference in height, IGF-1 and IGF-BP3 growth between the two groups at each stage of treatment, except for the statistical difference in IGF-BP3 increment at the third month of treatment(P<0.05); The age of treatment had an effect on the height growth outcome of children, and there was statistical significance(OR=0.258, 95%CI 0.109-0.609, P=0.002). The remaining factors had no obvious influence. CONCLUSION There is no difference in the therapeutic effect of different formulation of recombinant human growth hormone on idiopathic short stature. The age of beginning use is the main factor that affects the effect of using growth hormone.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(10):1565-1569
Objective:
To investigate the refractive status of children and adolescents aged 4-18 years in Chengdu, and to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of refractive parameters.
Methods:
A cross sectional survey was conducted among 82 024 children and adolescents aged 4-18 years in Gaoxin District of Chengdu from August to September 2021. The prevalence of screening myopia, low vision rate, high myopia rate, refractive status and axial development were analyzed.
Results:
The prevalence of screening myopia in students aged 4-18 years was 40.42%(33 158/82 024). Low myopia was 24.51%(20 108/82 024), moderate myopia was 13.05%(10 703/82 024) and high myopia was 2.86%(2 347/82 024). The prevalence of screening myopia was 1.81% (233/12 848) in kindergarten, 34.44%(17 095/49 644) in primary school, 79.73%(9 738/12 214) in junior high school and 83.25% (6 092/7 318) in senior high school. The rate of visual impairment increased by year from the age of 4, and the rate of myopia increased most rapidly from 6 to 15 years old, the prevalenct of high myopia was compared between adjacent age groups: there were statistical differences between 9-15 years old were more likely to be nearsighted than boys( P <0.035 7). Significant differences in screening myopia between 5- and 7-17 year old groups,and in boys and girls.The median total diopter was 0.40 D at the age of 4 and developed to -2.90 D at the age of 18 . The diopter of girls aged 8-15 years was higher than that of boys, and there was statistical significance( Z=-2.53, -4.09, -5.67, -8.64, -5.56, -4.97, -2.52, -2.14, P <0.05). The axial length gradually increased with age, with the mean value of (22.31±0.59) mm at 4 years old and (24.91±1.00) mm at 18 years old. The mean corneal curvature did not change with age (43.19±1.47)D.
Conclusion
6-15 years old is a especially critical period for myopia development. More efforts need to be taken to decrease the prevalence of myopia before 6 years old. Prevention of the development of high myopia should start before the age of 10. The prevalence of myopia in girls is higher than that in boys, more prevention and control of myopia should focus on girls.

Objective To systematically review risk factors for esophagogastric anastomotic leakage (EGAL) after esophageal cancer surgery for adults to provide theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, VIP, CNKI and CBM were searched from inception to January 2020 to collect case control studies and cohort studies about risk factors for EGAL after esophageal cancer surgery. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, and then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 33 studies were included, including 19 case-control studies and 14 cohort studies, all of which had a Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS)≥6. There were 26 636 patients, including 20 283 males and 6 353 females, and there were 9 587 patients in China and 17 049 patients abroad. The results of meta-analysis showed that the following factors could increase the risk for EGAL (P≤0.05), including patient factors (18): age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking history, smoking index (≥400), alcohol history, digestive tract ulcer, respiratory disease, lower ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), coronary atherosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, arrhythmia, diabetes, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, celiac trunk calcification and descending aortic calcification; preoperative factors (6): abnormal liver function, renal insufficiency, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading, neoadjuvant radiotherapy and preoperative albumin<35 g/L, preoperative lower albumin; intraoperative factors (7): retrosternal route, cervical anastomosis, thoracoscopic surgery, operation time≥4.5 h, tubular stomach, upper segment tumor, splenectomy; postoperative factors (5): respiratory failure, postoperative arrhythmia, use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy, pulmonary infection, deep venous thrombosis. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy could reduce the risk for postoperative EGAL (P<0.05). However, age≥60 years, upper gastrointestinal inflammation, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO%), thoracic surgery history, abdominal surgery history, glucocorticoid drugs history, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, anastomotic embedding, end-to-end anastomosis, hand anastomosis, intraoperative blood loss and other factors were not significantly correlated with EGAL. Conclusion Current evidence suggests that the risk factors for postoperative EGAL include age, sex, BMI, smoking index, alcohol history, peptic ulcer, FEV1/FVC, COPD, diabetes, ASA grading, neoadjuvant radiotherapy, preoperative albumin<35 g/L, cervical anastomosis, thoracoscopic surgery, operation time≥4.5 h, tubular stomach, upper segment tumor, intraoperative splenectomy, postoperative respiratory failure, postoperative arrhythmia and other risk factors. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be the protection factor for EGAL. Due to limited study quality, more high quality studies are needed to verify the conclusion.
