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.

In the field of oral medicine, 3D-printed individualized titanium mesh technology is gradually becoming an important means for the treatment of severe alveolar bone defect augmentation. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the advantages of this technology, the evaluation of osteogenic effects, and the progress of research in clinical applications. In response to the current issue of variability in bone augmentation outcomes, this paper delves into multiple factors affecting bone augmentation effects, including individualized titanium mesh design (involving the thickness, pore size, pore shape, porosity, contour shape, selection of titanium alloy materials, and 3D printing technology), intraoperative procedures (the accuracy of placement during 3D-printed individualized titanium mesh surgery), and postoperative care (including the prevention of complications, formation of pseudoperiosteum, and stability of the titanium mesh). By integrating the clinical experience and research findings of our team, we propose a series of targeted optimization strategies, including designing, manufacturing, and clinically applying self-positioning individualized titanium meshs (positioning wings + individualized titanium meshs) to improve the positioning accuracy of the titanium mesh; propose individualized treatment processes and titanium mesh design schemes based on specific conditions of alveolar bone defects and soft tissue status; and emphasize the importance of long-term stable fixation of the titanium mesh to reduce the risk of postoperative mesh loosening and displacement. In addition, we appropriately summarize the evaluation methods for the bone augmentation effects of 3D-printed individualized titanium meshes, covering the following key indicators: (1) vertical bone augmentation and horizontal bone augmentation; (2) changes in bone contour morphology; (3) bone volume increase; (4) clinical indicators (surgical success rate, titanium mesh exposure, infection rate, and postoperative recovery); (5) aesthetic effect evaluation; (6) long-term stability; (7) radiological assessment; (8) patient satisfaction; and (9) precision of surgical operation, aiming to assist doctors in comprehensively assessing and in-depth analyzing the surgical outcomes to achieve the best therapeutic effects. The purpose of this article is to provide a reference for the optimization and clinical application of 3D-printed individualized titanium mesh technology and to lay a theoretical foundation for achieving the best osteogenic effects.

Objective:
To evaluate the feasibility of a V-shaped incision in the resection of a superficial parotid gland benign tumor by comparison with a modified Blair incision. To provide a basis for evaluating the clinical application value of the V-shaped incision.
Methods:
This study was reviewed and approved by the ethics committee, and informed consent was obtained from the patients. Data from 61 patients with a benign tumor on the superficial parotid gland who had surgery at People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from September 2021 to September 2023 were collected and analyzed. The maximum diameter of the tumor included in the patient should not exceed 4 cm. The patients were divided into two groups based on the different surgical incisions: a V-shaped incision group (29 cases) and modified Blair incision group (32 cases). Several comparisons were made between the group: operation time; postoperative drainage volume; facial nerve function, pain, and complication in the operation area; and aesthetic effect of the surgical incision. The patients were followed up for 6 months. The 61 patients were further divided into groups based on the locations of the tumors: tumors around the earlobe and tumors in the lower pole of the parotid gland.
Results:
There were no significant differences in operation time, postoperative House-Brackmann grading system (HBGs) facial nerve function score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score between the two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative drainage volume and Vancouver scar scale (VSS) score of the V-shaped incision group were higher than the modified Blair incision group (P<0.05). The incidence of great auricular nerve numbness was lower in the V-shaped incision group than the modified Blair incision group (P<0.05). The operation time of the V-shaped incision applied to excise the tumor around the earlobe was shorter than the modified Blair incision (P<0.05).
Conclusion
The V-shaped incision is a concealed facial incision, surgeons should be aware that some patients who receive this incision have a large amount of postoperative drainage and the retroauricular region is prone to scar hyperplasia.

There is a substantial unmet need for treatments in the field of pediatric rare diseases, and investigator initiated trial(IIT) provide a critical pathway for testing and developing new drugs or treatment strategies. However, healthcare institutions, when conducting such research, must address compliance risks related to project approval, contract management, data protection, and conflict of interest management. This study aims to analyze the particularities and challenges of IIT in pediatric rare diseases, review relevant regulations and regulatory requirements, and provide healthcare institutions with a reference framework for compliance risk management to maximize the benefits of IIT. Based on literature review, analysis of laws and regulations, practical work experience, and frameworks from other institutions, we summarize the unique aspects of pediatric rare disease IIT in terms of participant characteristics, innovative technologies, and organizational structures.On this basis, targeted compliance management recommendations are proposed, which include establishing a risk rating and full-cycle risk monitoring mechanism, a consent and ethical review mechanism tailored to pediatric participants, a robust contract management mechanism, a comprehensive data security management mechanism, and a multidisciplinary team and multi-channel compensation mechanism. The study concludes that healthcare institutions, funders, and other collaborating entities should implement compliance management in line with the characteristics of IIT to ensure the safety and effectiveness of research and facilitate innovation and development in the treatment of pediatric rare diseases.

Objective To investigate the ultrasonographic characteristics of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) involving the renal arteries and their relationship with renal function. Methods Patients with ATAAD admitted to Deyang People's Hospital from February 2013 to May 2023 were selected for the study. Based on whether the renal arteries were involved in the dissection, the patients were divided into two groups: a renal artery involvement group and a renal artery non-involvement group. General data and ultrasound characteristics of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis and model correction were performed to analyze the relationship between ultrasound characteristics and renal function involvement in ATAAD patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive value of ultrasound characteristics for renal artery involvement in ATAAD patients. Additionally, patients in the renal artery involvement group were divided into normal renal function and abnormal renal function subgroups based on serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) levels. Clinical data of the two subgroups were compared, and a log-binomial model was used to analyze the risk effects of ultrasound characteristics for abnormal renal function. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to assess the correlation between ultrasound characteristics of renal artery involvement and renal function indicators. Results A total of 163 patients were included, consisting of 106 males and 57 females, with a mean age of (50.06±10.46) years (ranging from 20 to 85 years). Significant differences in gender, Scr, and BUN were observed between the renal artery involvement group and the renal artery non-involvement group (P<0.001). Compared to the renal artery non-involvement group, the renal artery involvement group had an increased ascending aorta diameter, a greater proportion of ascending aortic dilation and poor renal perfusion (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that ascending aorta diameter, ascending aortic dilation, and poor renal perfusion were independent factors for renal artery involvement (P<0.05). Ultrasonographic characteristics showed good predictive ability for renal artery involvement in ATAAD patients. Furthermore, the combination of the three characteristics yielded a higher predictive value for renal artery involvement. Compared to the normal renal function group, the abnormal renal function group had higher BUN and Scr levels, increased ascending aortic diameter, a greater proportion of ascending aortic dilation and poor renal perfusion (P<0.05). The log-binomial model analysis revealed that the risk ratios for ascending aortic diameter, ascending aortic dilation, and poor renal perfusion were statistically significant both before and after adjustment (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that ascending aortic diameter, ascending aortic dilation, and poor renal perfusion were strongly correlated with renal function parameters (P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound characteristics of ATAAD involving the renal arteries are associated with renal function. Ascending aorta diameter, ascending aortic dilation, and poor renal perfusion are independent risk factors for abnormal renal function.

Objective To understand the sleep status in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and to explore its relationship with dyskinesia and negative emotions. Methods A total of 308 patients with PD who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the hospital from September 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the research subjects. The scores of sleep status [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)], dyskinesia [Simplified Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMA)] and negative emotions [Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II)] were analyzed, and the PSQI score was compared among patients with different demographic characteristics. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation of sleep with dyskinesia and negative emotions in patients with PD. Results The total score of PSQI scale was (6.16±0.97) points in 308 PD patients, of which 208 cases (67.53%) were complicated with sleep disorders. The proportions of female, 61-75 years old, technical secondary school or below, disease course of 4 years and above, Hoehn-Yahr stage IV and unmarried status in the sleep disorder group were higher than those in the non-sleep disorder group (P<0.05). Compared with the non-sleep disorder group, the FMA score in the sleep disorder group was lower (P<0.05) while the BAI score and BDI-II score were higher (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that PSQI was negatively correlated with FMA (r=-0.489, P<0.05), and was positively correlated with BAI and BDI-II (r=0.476, 0.502, P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence rate of sleep disorders in PD patients is high. PSQI is negatively correlated with FMA, and is positively correlated with BAI and BDI-II.
