@#Objective To explore the short-term efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Methods The clinical data of 11 male patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent pembrolizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from December 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The average age of the patients was 52.0-79.0 (62.0±6.9) years. The imaging data and pathological changes before and after neoadjuvant treatment were compared, and adverse reactions during neoadjuvant treatment were recorded. Objective remission rate (ORR) and main pathological remission rate (MPR) and pathological complete remission rate (pCR) were the main observation endpoints. Results After preoperative neoadjuvant therapy with pembrolizumab combined with platinum or paclitaxel, all patients successfully underwent thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer. The ORR was 72.7%, and the MPR was 81.8%. Among them, 45.5% of patients achieved pCR. The main adverse reactions were hypoalbuminemia, decreased appetite and nausea. The mortality rate within 30 days after surgery was 0, and no tumor metastasis was observed. Conclusion Pembrolizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is safe and feasible to treat non-small cell lung cancer, and the short-term efficacy is beneficial.
RESUMO
Four unreported monoterpene indole alkaloids, tabernaecorymines B-E (1-4), together with twenty-one known indole alkaloids (5-25) were obtained from the stem bark of Tabernaemontana corymbosa.

@#Surgery is a classic traditional method for the treatment of early-stage esophageal cancer, and it is also recognized as an effective first-choice method in the medical community. With the development of endoscopic technology, esophagus-preserving comprehensive treatment of esophageal cancer has almost the same or even better effects in some aspects in the treatment of early esophageal cancer than surgery. Many clinical guidelines have also recommended it as the first-choice treatment for early esophageal cancer. The room for surgical treatment of esophageal cancer has been further compressed. This article discusses the comprehensive treatment model of esophageal cancer from the perspective of thoracic surgery, aiming to find a new position of thoracic surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND@#Lung cancer has the highest mortality in China. Different treatments are of great significance to the prognosis of patients. By comparing stage Ia non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients' survival rates for ablation and for sub-lobectomy, we studied the difference in the effects of the two treatments on patient prognosis.@*METHODS@#Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we screened eligible patients with stage Ia NSCLC from January 2004 to December 2015. Then, 228 patients treated with ablation and 228 patients treated with sub-lobotomy were then selected based on propensity score matching. After stratification, matching, and adjustment the Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to compare the overall survival rates of patients treated with the two procedures.@*RESULTS@#The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the ablation group and the sub-lobectomy group (P<0.05). In the univarlable analysis, the hazard ratio (HR) of sub-lobotomy group was 0.571 (95%CI: 0.455-0.717) compared with the ablation group. Patients treated with sub-lobectomy had a 0.571 times greater risk of adverse outcomes than those treated with ablation. In the multivariable analysis, the HR for sub-lobectomy group was 0.605 (95%CI: 0.477-0.766) compared with the ablation group. Patients treated with sub-lobectomy had a 0.605 time greater risk of adverse outcomes than those treated with ablation. The results suggested that the overall survival rate of patients with stage Ia NSCLC treated with sub-lobotomy was higher than that of patients treated with ablation.@*CONCLUSIONS@#This study suggests that there is a significant difference in overall survival of stage Ia NSCLC patients treated with ablation and with sub-lobotomy. Patients treated with sub-lobotomy for stage Ia NSCLC had higher overall survival than those treated with ablation.
RESUMO
Objective:The extensive development of anatomical pulnonary segmentectomy requires thoracic surgeons to be familiar with the anatomical variations of the lung segment. The purpose of this study is to analyze the anatomical patterns of the right upper lobe lung segment using three-dimensional reconstruction, and to count rare variant types.Methods:From October 2017 to March 2020, 101 patients with small pulmonary nodules who were undergo segmental resection in our center were subjected to preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction of the lung structure, and the reconstruction data was retained for the statistics and analysis of the anatomical structure in the right upper lung lobe.Results:The right upper lobe bronchus is the most common with three branches(77/101), followed by two branches(16/101) and four branches(7/101). The two branches(70/101) of the right upper lobe pulmonary artery are the most common, followed by single branch(19/101) and three branches(11/101). In rare cases, four branches(1/101 cases) can be seen. The two branches(63/101) of the right upper pulmonary vein were the most common, followed by three branches(32/101) and single branch(6/101). In addition, a total of 12 rare mutations were counted. There were 2 variants in the bronchus, totaling 2 cases; 4 rare variants in the pulmonary artery, 13 cases total; 6 rare variants in the pulmonary vein, 10 cases total.Conclusion:The lung anatomy is complex and has many variations. The surgeon should fully grasp the anatomical structure of the lung segment of the patient's operating area before surgery, the data in this article will be a valuable reference for thoracic surgeons to carry out the upper right lobe segmentectomy.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression of 2-type small conductance-Ca-activating-K (SK2) channel protein in hypertensive rat myocardial cells.@*METHODS@#Twelve healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n=5) and experimental group (n=7). The rats of experimental group were injected intraperitoneally with N'-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA 15 mg/(kg·d))while the rats of control group were injected intraperitoneally with isometrical normal saline(15 ml/(kg·d )). The body weight, blood pressure and electrocardiogram of the rats were measured every week. After 4 weeks, the rats were sacrificed to obtain hearts, and the expression of SK2 channel protein in myocardium was detected by Western blot.@*RESULTS@#After 4 weeks of administration, compared with the control group, the blood pressure in the experimental group was significantly elevated (P＜0.05), QRS duration and R-R interval were prolonged, and the expressions of SK2 channel in the atrial and ventricular tissue of the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (1.12±0.18,1.64±0.26, P ＜ 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The expressions of atrial and ventricular SK2 pathway are increased in hypertensive model rats. It may be one of the mechanism leading to arrhythmias in hypertensive model rats and can provide new ideas and strategies for the treatment and prognosis of hypertensive diseases.

Objective@#To evaluate the application of panning axial turnover in placement of surgical positions before thoracic surgery.@*Methods@#From June 2017 to September 2017, altogether 140 patients who underwent thoracic surgery were enrolled in and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group. The control group was treated with traditional turnover method, while the observation group were treated with axial turnover.@*Results@#No significant changes were found in blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate (P>0.05) after turning over. There was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group about turn over time, (7.06±0.78)s vs. (7.01±0.81)s (P>0.05). The subjective evaluation results of the medical staff in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (Z=-7.111, P<0.01) and the shift rate of double-lumen endotracheal tube in the observation group was 3.7% (2/54), which was significantly lower than 21.6% (11/51) of the control group (χ2=6.158, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The panning axial turnover properly guided the turn-over work with the principle of human body mechanics, which was more labor-saving and requires less operators. Besides, the panning axial turnover effectively reduced the double-lumen tracheal intubation shift rate. It′s worthy of clinical promotion.

RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe a turning performance in the rats excited by using a proper electrical stimuli of the barrel cortex region (BC), and the expression of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in the BC regions after electoral stimulation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>SD rats were divided into three groups. The stimulation electrodes were surgically implanted into the bilateral BC regions in the control group and the experimental group rats. The experiment group post surgery for seven days was given the electrical impulses via connection with the electrodes for three times each day through consecutive three days. Three groups of the rats were killed and the brains were quickly removed for frozen sections and then performed with conventional HE and immunohistochemistry staining. And protein samples were prepared from brain and the hippocampus tissues of the three groups to detect the level of the ChAT protein by Western blot.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The experimental rats turn left or right when continuously stimulation in the bilateral BC regions with electric pulse. HE staining showed no significant damage around electrodes in the cerebral cortex. Compared with the control and blank groups, the ChAT positive rate in the brain section in the experimental rats was significantly high by immunohistochemistry assay; the level of the ChAT protein in the rats given the electrical stimulation increased.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Turnings performance of the rat could be initiated hy electrical stimuli in the BC region. Expression of ChAT is significantly higher in the BC regions of rat under electrical stimulation, suggesting that acetylcholine might be associated with signal transmission between senses and movement behavior in the nervous central system.</p>
