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.

ObjectiveThe study explores the influence of voluntary wheel running on the behavioral abnormalities and the activation state of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) rats through gut microbiota. MethodsSD female rats were selected and administered either400 mg/kg of valproic acid (VPA) solution or an equivalent volume of saline via intraperitoneal injection on day 12.5 of pregnancy. The resulting offspring were divided into 2 groups: the ASD model group (PASD, n=35) and the normal control group (PCON, n=16). Behavioral assessments, including the three-chamber social test, open field test, and Morris water maze, were conducted on postnatal day 23. After behavioral testing, 8 rats from each group (PCON, PASD) were randomly selected for serum analysis using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and corticosterone (CORT) concentration, to evaluate the functional state of the HPA axis in rats. On postnatal day 28, the remaining 8 rats in the PCON group were designated as the control group (CON, n=8), and the remaining 27 rats in the PASD group were randomly divided into 4 groups: ASD non-intervention group (ASD, n=6), ASD exercise group (ASDE, n=8), ASD fecal microbiota transplantation group (FMT, n=8), and ASD sham fecal microbiota transplantation group (sFMT, n=5). The rats in the ASD group and the CON group were kept under standard conditions, while the rats in the ASDE group performed 6 weeks of voluntary wheel running intervention starting on postnatal day 28. The rats in the FMT group were gavaged daily from postnatal day 42 with 1 ml/100 g fresh fecal suspension from ASDE rats which had undergone exercise for 2 weeks, 5 d per week, continuing for 4 weeks. The sFMT group received an equivalent volume of saline. After the interventions were completed, behavioral assessments and HPA axis markers were measured for all groups. ResultsBefore the intervention, the ASD model group exhibited significantly reduced social ability, social novelty preference, spontaneous activity, and exploratory interest, as well as impaired spatial learning, memory, and navigation abilities compared to the normal control group (P<0.05). Serum concentration of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and corticosterone (CORT) in the PASD group were significantly higher than those in the PCON group (P<0.05). Following 6 weeks of voluntary wheel running, the ASDE group showed significant improvements in social ability, social novelty preference, spontaneous activity, exploratory interest, spatial learning, memory, and navigation skills compared to the ASD group (P<0.05), with a significant decrease in serum CORT concentration (P<0.05), and a downward trend in CRH and ACTH concentration. After 4 weeks of fecal microbiota transplantation in the exercise group, the FMT group showed marked improvements in social ability, social novelty preference, spontaneous activity, exploratory interest, as well as spatial learning, memory, and navigation abilities compared to both the ASD and sFMT groups (P<0.05). In addition, serum ACTH and CORT concentration were significantly reduced (P<0.05), and CRH concentration also showed a decreasing trend. ConclusionExercise may improve ASD-related behaviors by suppressing the activation of the HPA axis, with the gut microbiota likely playing a crucial role in this process.

Sepsis-induced lung injury is a common type of sepsis complicated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, whose uncontrolled inflammatory response and oxidative stress are the key pathological mechanisms. As an important pathway of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress, the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway is very important in the occurrence and development of sepsis-induced lung injury. This review summarizes relevant research conducted over the past decade on the regulation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to ameliorate sepsis- induced lung injury. It has been found that 14 kinds of TCM effective ingredients (including five types of compounds: flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloids, saponins, phenols) and 6 kinds of compound preparations (including three types of formulas: heat-clearing and detoxifying formulas, purgative formulas for promoting bowel movement, and formulas for reinforcing vital qi and consolidating the constitution) can inhibit inflammatory responses and oxidative stress by activating Nrf2 signaling pathway and intervening in related pathways such as those involving Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1, heme oxygenase-1, antioxidant response element and AMP-activated protein kinase, thereby alleviating sepsis-induced lung injury.

Objective To understand the disease spectrum of a natural village in an area with high incidence of esophageal cancer to provide a reference for precise prevention and control. Methods From 2008 to 2024, 711 asymptomatic people over the age of 35 years in a natural village with high incidence of esophageal cancer in China were surveyed, and 171 of them were subjected to gastroscopy, biopsy, and pathological examination. All participants were followed up for a long time, and their disease history was recorded. Results A total of 16 years of follow-up were performed, and 703 people were effectively followed up. In 2008, 171 people underwent gastroscopy, and 160 people had biopsy and pathological results in endoscopic screening. By 2024, 76 people had been diagnosed with malignant tumors of 12 different types, and among these people, 45 had esophageal cancer. Conclusion Esophageal cancer remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality from malignant tumors in this region. Biopsy and pathological examination should be strengthened during gastroscopy, and follow-ups and regular check-ups should be given high importance to reduce the incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effects and difference in the effects of Arisaematis Rhizoma (AR) before and after processing (i.e., Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum, ARP) with Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens-Alumen on allergic asthma in rats and to provide a basis for the theory of processing improving the efficacy. MethodA rat model of allergic asthma was established in 70 SD rats by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin (OVA)-aluminum hydroxide. The rats were administrated with the aqueous extracts of AR (1.2, 0.3 g∙kg-1) and ARP (1.2, 0.3 g∙kg-1) aqueous extracts by gavage, and montelukast sodium (0.001 g∙kg-1) was used as the positive drug. The T helper cell type 1/type 2 (Th1/Th2) ratio in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and percentages of inflammatory cells in BALF were determined. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was employed to determine the mRNA level of mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) in the lung tissue. The pathological changes in the lung tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and PAS staining. Immunohistochemical assay was employed to measure the expression of c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK), extracellular signal regulated protein kinase (ERK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) in rat lung tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of ERK, p-ERK, JNK, p-JNK, p38, p-p38 in the lung tissue. The effects of AR and ARP were compared based on overall desirability. ResultCompared with the blank group, the levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and γ interferon (IFN-γ) in serum and BALF of rats in the model group were significantly lower (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) were significantly higher (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum and BALF contents of IL-12 and IFN-γ in rats in the montelukast sodium group, high-dose AR group and high-dose ARP group were significantly higher (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the contents of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 were significantly lower (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the serum contents of IFN-γ in rats in the low-dose AR group and low-dose ARP group were in BALF was significantly higher (P<0.05) and IL-4 and IL-13 were significantly lower (P<0.05, P<0.01), the percentages of macrophages, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils were reduced in BALF, and the expression of JNK/ERK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway and MUC5AC protein was inhibited in lung tissues. Overall assessment of the normalized analysis revealed that the ARP group was slightly more potent than the AR group after administration of the same dose. ConclusionAR and ARP can effectively treat allergic asthma by inhibiting JNK/ERK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway, and the effect is better after concoction, which can provide data support for its "concoction efficiency".

BACKGROUND:Medical hydrogels are new functional polymer materials with three-dimensional structural networks and excellent biocompatibility,which have been widely studied in the field of tissue engineering and drug carriers,but the research on the combination of medical hydrogels and Chinese medicine for the treatment of diseases based on tissue engineering is still in the early exploration stage.Therefore,through the analysis of the mechanism of the role of medical hydrogels,the integration of medical hydrogels and Chinese medicine in the research of the joint application of the article,can better provide ideas for scientific researchers,and the joint application of Chinese medicine and medical hydrogels is of great significance. OBJECTIVE:To explore the strategy and significance of Chinese medicine combined with medical hydrogel for disease treatment based on tissue engineering research. METHODS:PubMed and CNKI were used to retrieve articles about the application of Chinese medicine combined with medical hydrogel in tissue engineering from January 2010 to November 2022,with the Chinese and English search terms"hydrogel,traditional Chinese medicine,drug carrier,tissue engineering".After the initial screening of all articles according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the 61 articles with high relevance were retained for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Although the application of Chinese medicine combined with medical hydrogel is involved in intra-articular,intra-tissue organ,soft tissue wounds,tissue engineering,etc.,except for the clinical application of Chinese medicine combined with hydrogel dressing for soft tissue injury,other aspects are still in the experimental stage.(2)The development of Chinese medicine combined with medical hydrogel has great potential and development prospects,but there is a certain difficulty in the manufacture of the gel with high-performance requirements,and it is difficult to master the physical and chemical properties precisely.(3)At present,the comprehensive view of injectable hydrogel with the characteristics of easy to use,its joint use of Chinese medicine can be extended to a wider range,can be used for joint,organ,tissue engineering-related disease treatment.Smart hydrogel has high sensitivity and reversible transformation can also meet the use of the special environment.During the combined use of Chinese medicine,it also needs to understand the mechanism of action of Chinese medicine components.(4)The strategy of combining Chinese medicine with medical hydrogels for disease treatment should start with matching the therapeutic effects of Chinese medicine on organs,tissues and cells combined with appropriate types of medical hydrogels to make up for the shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine delivery methods and frequent drug delivery.In tissue engineering,hydrogels can be loaded with stem cells after Chinese medicine intervention,or with both Chinese medicine and stem cells for disease treatment.(5)In future research of combined Chinese medicine and medical hydrogel application,we also need to consider:we should ensure that the biological properties of medical hydrogel can be quantified,and grasp the characteristics of hydrogel with different manufacturing processes of different materials to produce the required medical hydrogel that meets the application conditions.In Chinese medicine,we need to comprehensively understand and analyze the therapeutic effects and application mechanisms of known Chinese medicine monomer and Chinese medicine compound extracts,so as to achieve a more perfect combination between Chinese medicine and medical hydrogel under a more clear mechanism.With the continuous improvement of medical science and technology innovation,the medical hydrogel can be innovatively combined with other traditional treatment methods of Chinese medicine,such as acupuncture,massage,cupping and so on,to be used from multiple angles.

【Objective】 To investigate the reasonable serological detection method by analyzing the characteristics of anti-K and anti-Wra from a patient who received treatment with daratumumab. 【Methods】 Unexpected antibody screening and identification were performed by saline method, polybrene, cardioagglutinin, dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment, trypsin treatment and papain treatment in the patient's plasma and acid elution solution. Heat elution test was detected after absorbing patient serum with K antigen negative red blood cells. The characteristics of antibodies were analyzed and their titer was continuously detected. Cross matching was performed after excluding interference of daratumumab. 【Results】 Anti-K and anti-Wra were detected in saline and polybrene in the patient's plasma. The patient's elution solution contained daratumumab. DTT or trypsin treatment excluded interference of daratumumab but papain treatment did not. DTT treatment destroyed K antigen and missed the detection of IgG antibodies in the Kell system. Trypsin treatment did not affect K antigen and can detect IgG antibodies of Kell system(anti-k)in the serum of the patient treated with daratumumab. Anti K was IgM and the titer was 4 by saline method and it decreased to no agglutination in room temperature after 39 days. Anti-Wra was IgG and the titer by polybrene method was 4, and it decreased to 1 after 39 days. After 76 days, neither anti-K nor anti-Wra could be detected. Transfusions of K and Wra antigen negative red blood cells were safe and effective. 【Conclusion】 DTT treatment can exclude interference of daratumumab, but attention should be paid to missed detection of anti-K. To avoid interference of daratumumab and identify unexpected antibody, multiple methods such as DTT treatment, polybrene and trypsin treatment in combination are recommended.
