Background: Tuberculous pleuritis is the second most common extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Its prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to decrease the morbidity and mortality of affected patients. We aimed to assess whether the serum sestrin 2 and fetuin-A levels can be used to diagnose early pleural involvement in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study and enrolled patients with pulmonary tuberculosis between October 2020 and October 2022. Their demographics and clinical characteristics were recorded. The serum sestrin 2 and fetuin-A levels were detected. Early pleural involvement was determined by a chest computed tomography (CT) scan. Patients were assigned into two groups: pleural involvement versus nonpleural involvement. The characteristics of the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to study the relationships between the serum sestrin 2 and fetuin-A levels with pleural involvement under potential confounders. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to examine the performance of sestrin 2 and fetuin-A determination to diagnose pleural involvement.

Results: We enrolled 136 pulmonary tuberculosis patients, with a mean age of 50.4 (±7.3) years old, including 79 (58.1%) males. There were 89 and 47 patients with or without pleural involvement, respectively. The baseline demographics and clinical characteristics were comparable between the two groups. Compared with the patients without pleural involvement, those with pleural involvement had a higher serum sestrin 2 level but a lower serum fetuin-A level (both P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed the association of serum sestrin 2 and fetuin-A levels with pleural involvement. In addition, ROC curve analyses demonstrated that sestrin 2 and fetuin-A alone had a high sensitivity, but the combination of these two measurements had the best performance to detect pleural involvement.

Conclusions: High sestrin 2 and low fetuin-A serum levels can be used to evaluate early pleural involvement in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

背景:结核性胸膜炎是第二大常见的肺外结核病。及时诊断和适当治疗对降低患者的发病率和死亡率至关重要。我们的目的是评估血清胰蛋白酶 2 和胎盘素-A 水平是否可用于诊断肺结核患者的早期胸膜受累:我们在 2020 年 10 月至 2022 年 10 月期间对肺结核患者进行了横断面研究。记录了他们的人口统计学特征和临床特征。检测血清雌二醇 2 和胎盘素-A 水平。通过胸部计算机断层扫描(CT)确定早期胸膜受累情况。患者被分为两组:胸膜受累组和非胸膜受累组。两组患者的特征进行了比较。进行了多变量逻辑回归分析,以研究潜在混杂因素下血清胰岛素 2 和胎盘素 A 水平与胸膜受累之间的关系。采用受试者操作特征曲线(ROC)分析来检验胰蛋白酶2和胎球蛋白-A的测定在诊断胸膜受累方面的性能:我们共收治了 136 名肺结核患者,平均年龄为 50.4 (±7.3) 岁,其中包括 79 名男性(58.1%)。有胸膜受累或无胸膜受累的患者分别为 89 人和 47 人。两组患者的基线人口统计学和临床特征相当。与无胸膜受累的患者相比,有胸膜受累的患者血清雌激素 2 水平较高,而血清胎球蛋白-A 水平较低(均为 PConclusions:高胰蛋白酶 2 和低胎球蛋白-A 血清水平可用于评估肺结核患者的早期胸膜受累情况。

Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. Measurement of predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in the first second (ppo FEV1) may allow for reliable prediction of PPCs and perioperative planning. This study aimed to determine if impaired ppo FEV1 is associated with increased risk of PPCs following oncologic lung resection.

Methods: Patients who underwent elective pulmonary resection at The Ottawa Hospital between 2008 and 2018 were evaluated. The presence and severity of PPCs as defined by the Ottawa Thoracic Morbidity & Mortality system were analyzed. The incidence of PPCs was evaluated based on different ppo FEV1 cut-off values (40%, 50%, and 60%), and a multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of PPCs.

Results: Of 1,949 included patients, a thoracoscopic approach (64.4%) was most frequently utilized, and lobectomies represented the most common procedure (60.5%). All cut-off ppo FEV1 values of <40% (P<0.001), <50% (P<0.001), and <60% (P=0.004) were associated with more frequent PPCs (13.0%, 11.6%, and 7.6%, respectively), while only ppo FEV1 <50% showed differences in both minor (P<0.001) and major (P=0.005) PPCs. With ppo FEV1 <50%, differences in PPCs were demonstrated specifically in both thoracoscopic (P=0.03) and open (P=0.003) procedures. On multivariable analysis, ppo FEV1 <50% (P=0.03) and need for operative conversion (P<0.001) independently predicted PPCs.

Conclusions: Routine assessment of ppo FEV1 is a practical strategy to identify patients at increased risk of developing PPCs, and can identify candidates for preoperative optimization and postoperative pulmonary support.

背景:术后肺部并发症(PPCs)是手术患者发病率和死亡率的重要来源。测量预测的术后第一秒用力呼气容积(ppo FEV1)可以可靠地预测肺部并发症并制定围手术期计划。本研究旨在确定ppo FEV1受损是否与肿瘤肺切除术后PPCs风险增加有关:对 2008 年至 2018 年期间在渥太华医院接受择期肺切除术的患者进行了评估。分析了渥太华胸科发病率和死亡率系统所定义的 PPC 的存在和严重程度。根据不同的ppo FEV1临界值(40%、50%和60%)评估了PPCs的发生率,并进行了多变量逻辑回归以确定PPCs的预测因素:在纳入的 1,949 名患者中,胸腔镜方法(64.4%)最常用,肺叶切除术是最常见的手术(60.5%)。结论:对ppo FEV1进行常规评估是一种实用的策略,可用于识别罹患PPC风险较高的患者,并确定术前优化和术后肺支持的候选者。

Background: There is uncertainty with respect to the baseline tumor markers and clinical outcomes for patients with connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD). The study aimed to assess the association between baseline tumor markers and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) and prognosis.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study. Serum levels of nine tumor markers, including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen, cytokeratin fraction 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), serum ferritin (SF), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724) were collected at baseline in patients with CTD-ILD and healthy controls (HCs). Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the strength of baseline tumor markers in identifying PPF in CTD-ILD. Correlation analysis was performed to explore associations between tumor markers and disease severity. The relationship of prognosis and these markers was also evaluated.

Results: There were 224 patients with CTD-ILD and 63 HCs included in the analysis. The serum CEA and CA125 levels were significantly higher in the PPF group than in the non-PPF and HC groups. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CEA was 0.64 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.56-0.72], the highest among the tested tumor markers. For CA125, the AUC was 0.59 (95% CI: 0.51-0.68). Patients were then stratified into low-titre and high-titre groups based on the median levels of CEA or CA125. Compared with the low CEA group, patients in the high CEA group showed a higher risk for PPF [odds ratio (OR): 3.42, 95% CI: 1.74-6.72, P<0.001], while compared with the low CA125 group, patients in the high CA125 group had an OR of 1.96 (95% CI: 1.08-3.55, P=0.03). Elevated CEA concentration remained a significant risk factor of PPF in multivariate analysis, but CA125 did not. Furthermore, elevated CEA levels was also an independent risk factor associated with all-cause mortality and acute exacerbation (AE) in CTD-ILD patients.

Conclusions: Circulating CEA may be associated with pulmonary fibrosis progression and prognosis of CTD-ILD.

背景:结缔组织病相关性间质性肺病(CTD-ILD)患者的基线肿瘤标志物和临床预后存在不确定性。本研究旨在评估基线肿瘤标志物与进行性肺纤维化(PPF)和预后之间的关联:这是一项前瞻性队列研究。方法:这是一项前瞻性队列研究。研究人员在CTD-ILD患者和健康对照组(HCs)中收集了九种肿瘤标志物的血清水平,包括癌胚抗原(CEA)和碳水化合物抗原125(CA125)、神经元特异性烯醇化酶(NSE)、鳞状细胞癌(SCC)抗原、细胞角蛋白21-1(CYFRA21-1)、血清铁蛋白(SF)、甲胎蛋白(AFP)和碳水化合物抗原724(CA724)。采用逻辑回归和接收器操作特征曲线(ROC)评估基线肿瘤标志物在鉴别 CTD-ILD PPF 中的作用。还进行了相关性分析,以探讨肿瘤标志物与疾病严重程度之间的关联。此外,还评估了预后与这些标志物之间的关系:共有 224 名 CTD-ILD 患者和 63 名 HCs 纳入分析。PPF 组的血清 CEA 和 CA125 水平明显高于非 PPF 组和 HC 组。CEA的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.64[95%置信区间(CI):0.56-0.72],是所检测的肿瘤标志物中最高的。CA125的AUC为0.59(95% 置信区间:0.51-0.68)。然后根据 CEA 或 CA125 的中位水平将患者分为低睾酮组和高睾酮组。与低 CEA 组相比,高 CEA 组患者发生 PPF 的风险更高[几率比(OR):3.42,95% CI:1]:3.42,95% CI:1.74-6.72,PC结论:循环CEA可能与肺纤维化进展和CTD-ILD的预后有关。

Background: The identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath has garnered significant research attention as a means of screening and diagnosing lung cancer in recent decades. However, there is no universally accepted protocol for the collection of breath samples to measure VOCs in the clinical context. The purpose of this study was to summarize the current sampling techniques used to obtain VOCs from exhaled breath specifically in the context of lung cancer screening and diagnosis.

Methods: We searched four major literature databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library) to identify studies published from January 1985 to October 2023. Trials that analyzed endogenous VOCs within exhaled breath to screen or diagnose lung cancer were included. The methods used for exhaled breath collection were divided under the following headings: before collection (patient preparation, environmental preparation, contamination detection), during collection (time of breath collection, type of container, breath fraction selected, the volume and route of breath), and after collection (storage of breath samples, VOCs stability).

Results: A total of 89 studies involving 6,409 individuals diagnosed with lung cancer were selected. The methods used to collect the breath varied substantially among the studies. A separate room was prepared for breath collection in 29 studies, the physiological state of the participants was described in 57 studies, and environmental considerations were reported in 41 studies. Polymer bags, specifically Tedlar bags, were the predominant choice for breath sample collection and were used in 58 out of the 89 studies. Alveolar breath was the most commonly selected breath fraction, which was used in 43 studies. Only 15 studies reported the storage conditions of the breath samples, which ranged from -40 ℃ to room temperature, and the stability of VOCs was recorded in 41 studies.

Conclusions: There is an urgent need for breath collection methods to be standardized to maximize the potential of this diagnostic approach. The summarized exhaled breath collection process proposed in this study based on included studies may serve as a method for future clinical research.

背景:近几十年来,呼出气体中挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)的鉴定作为肺癌筛查和诊断的一种手段引起了研究人员的极大关注。然而,目前还没有一个在临床上普遍接受的收集呼气样本以测量挥发性有机化合物的方案。本研究旨在总结目前在肺癌筛查和诊断中专门用于从呼气中获取挥发性有机化合物的采样技术:我们检索了四大文献数据库(PubMed、Embase、Web of Science 和 Cochrane Library),以确定 1985 年 1 月至 2023 年 10 月期间发表的研究。其中包括分析呼出气体中的内源性挥发性有机化合物以筛查或诊断肺癌的试验。呼气收集方法分为以下几个部分:收集前(患者准备、环境准备、污染检测)、收集中(呼气收集时间、容器类型、选择的呼气成分、呼气量和途径)和收集后(呼气样本的储存、VOCs 的稳定性):结果:共选取了 89 项研究,涉及 6 409 名确诊为肺癌的患者。不同研究采用的呼吸采集方法大相径庭。29 项研究为收集呼气样本准备了单独的房间,57 项研究描述了参与者的生理状态,41 项研究报告了环境因素。聚合物袋,特别是 Tedlar 袋,是采集呼气样本的主要选择,在 89 项研究中有 58 项使用了这种袋子。肺泡呼气是最常选择的呼气成分,有 43 项研究使用了肺泡呼气。只有 15 项研究报告了呼气样本的储存条件,从-40 ℃到室温不等,41 项研究记录了挥发性有机化合物的稳定性:结论:为最大限度地发挥这种诊断方法的潜力,迫切需要对呼气采集方法进行标准化。本研究根据所纳入的研究提出的呼气收集流程总结可作为未来临床研究的一种方法。

Background: Transthoracic biopsy has proven to be an effective procedure, especially for peripheral lung lesions, in obtaining samples that can definitively diagnose the underlying pathology. Despite its effectiveness, studies have demonstrated that it is associated with complications such as pneumothorax and hemoptysis. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of these complications and identify prognostic factors in patients who underwent a transthoracic biopsy.

Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis included adults from Thu Duc City Hospital, a sub-urban hospital who underwent transthoracic biopsy from 2017 to 2022. Complications that were evaluated included pneumothorax and hemoptysis. Separate logistic regression models estimated the association of pneumothorax or hemoptysis and selected baseline patient demographic and clinical characteristics.

Results: Among 221 patients who underwent transthoracic biopsy, 27.6% experienced pneumothorax complications, 19.9% had hemoptysis, and 5.4% had both. No air embolism was recorded. Most of the complications were mild and limited with medical management. Among patients who experienced pneumothorax, 6.6% (4/61) required chest tube drainage. Biopsy in tumors with a distance from chest wall to tumor edge of more than 20 mm and skin to tumor edge of more than 40 mm was associated with a higher risk of pneumothorax complication. Using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve, a threshold of 23 mm for chest wall to tumor edge and 39.4 mm for skin to tumor edge could help predict pneumothorax with significant sensitivities and specificities.

Conclusions: This retrospective study demonstrated that approximately half of patients undergoing thoracic biopsy experienced complications. It was suggested that pneumothorax could be predicted by measuring the distance from the tumor edge to the chest wall and the skin to have better preoperation preparation and potentially mitigate the issue.

背景:经胸活检已被证明是一种有效的检查方法,尤其是对周围肺部病变而言,它可以获得样本,从而明确诊断潜在的病理变化。尽管效果显著,但研究表明它与气胸和咯血等并发症有关。本研究旨在评估这些并发症的发生率,并确定接受经胸活检患者的预后因素:这项回顾性队列分析纳入了2017年至2022年期间接受经胸活检的城郊医院--顺德市医院的成人患者。评估的并发症包括气胸和咯血。单独的逻辑回归模型估算了气胸或咯血与选定的患者人口统计学和临床特征基线的相关性:结果:在221名接受经胸活检的患者中,27.6%出现气胸并发症,19.9%出现咯血,5.4%同时出现气胸和咯血。没有空气栓塞的记录。大多数并发症都很轻微,通过药物治疗也能控制。在出现气胸的患者中,6.6%(4/61)需要进行胸管引流。在胸壁到肿瘤边缘距离超过 20 毫米、皮肤到肿瘤边缘距离超过 40 毫米的肿瘤中进行活检,发生气胸并发症的风险较高。根据接收者操作特征曲线下面积(AUROC),胸壁到肿瘤边缘的阈值为23毫米,皮肤到肿瘤边缘的阈值为39.4毫米,这有助于预测气胸,且具有显著的敏感性和特异性:这项回顾性研究表明,约有一半接受胸部活检的患者出现了并发症。建议通过测量肿瘤边缘到胸壁和皮肤的距离来预测气胸的发生,从而做好术前准备,减少并发症的发生。

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) represents a considerable health challenge, primarily due to its poor prognosis and the limited availability of effective therapeutic interventions. Ubiquitination, a vital post-translational modification, is integral to cellular regulation; nonetheless, its role in ESCC has not been thoroughly explored. This study aims to identify ubiquitination-related differentially expressed genes (URDEGs) that possess prognostic significance in the context of ESCC.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas ESCC (TCGA-ESCC) dataset, GSE20347, and an in-house ESCC dataset to identify URDEGs. The limma R package was used to determine the intersection of ubiquitination-related genes (URGs) with common differentially expressed genes (Co-DEGs) for differential expression analysis. To evaluate prognostic value, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted, while functional enrichment was examined using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. Validation was performed using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Results: Eighty-five URDEGs were identified, with five key genes (BUB1B, CHEK1, DNMT1, IRAK1, and PRKDC) showing significant prognostic value. Analysis revealed that these genes play key roles in essential processes such as the cell cycle and immune response, and their varied expression in ESCC tissues supports their use as targets for therapy.

Conclusions: The results of our study highlight the prognostic significance of URDEGs in ESCC, suggesting that they may serve as useful biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Future research should focus on clinical validation and the development of targeted therapies to improve the outcomes of patients with ESCC.

背景:食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)是一项巨大的健康挑战,这主要是由于其预后较差,而且有效的治疗干预措施有限。泛素化是一种重要的翻译后修饰,是细胞调控不可或缺的一部分;然而,它在 ESCC 中的作用尚未得到深入探讨。本研究旨在确定泛素化相关差异表达基因(URDEGs),这些基因对 ESCC 的预后具有重要意义:我们使用癌症基因组图谱 ESCC(TCGA-ESCC)数据集、GSE20347 和内部 ESCC 数据集进行了综合分析,以确定 URDEGs。Limma R软件包用于确定泛素相关基因(URGs)与常见差异表达基因(Co-DEGs)的交叉点,以进行差异表达分析。为了评估预后价值,研究人员进行了卡普兰-梅耶生存分析,并使用基因本体(GO)和京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)分析对功能富集性进行了研究。利用实时定量聚合酶链反应进行了验证:结果:共鉴定出 85 个 URDEGs,其中 5 个关键基因(BUB1B、CHEK1、DNMT1、IRAK1 和 PRKDC)具有显著的预后价值。分析表明,这些基因在细胞周期和免疫反应等重要过程中发挥着关键作用,它们在 ESCC 组织中的不同表达支持将其作为治疗靶点:我们的研究结果凸显了URDEGs在ESCC中的预后意义,表明它们可以作为有用的生物标记物和治疗靶点。未来的研究应侧重于临床验证和靶向疗法的开发,以改善 ESCC 患者的预后。

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) as a potential therapeutic target for lung diseases: a narrative review. 作为肺部疾病潜在治疗靶点的法尼类固醇 X 受体 (FXR):综述。
IF 2.1 3区 医学 Q3 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Pub Date : 2024-11-30 Epub Date: 2024-11-29 DOI: 10.21037/jtd-24-734

Background and objective: Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), which is encoded by the NR1H4 gene, is a ligand-activated transcription factor and a member of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily. As a receptor for bile acid (BA), FXR has been shown to play a key role in the regulation of BA metabolism, lipid metabolism, and the inflammatory response. This article reviews the roles of FXR in the pathogenesis of various lung diseases, and identifies potential diagnostic indicators or therapeutic targets for these diseases.

Methods: The PubMed and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) online databases were searched to retrieve relevant articles published from 2000 to 2024.

Key content and findings: FXR was originally found to be expressed in BA-targeted organs, such as the liver and intestine. However, recent studies have shown that FXR is also expressed in "non-classical" BA-targeted organs, such as the lung and blood vessels. FXR is not only involved in the pathophysiology of a series of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, but is also involved in various lung diseases. Recent evidence suggests that FXR participates in the pathogenesis of lung diseases through multiple mechanisms. In addition, FXR may be a potential therapeutic target for some lung diseases. For example, FXR has been reported to promote the occurrence and development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by inducing the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and subsequently suppressing anti-tumor immunity in the tumor microenvironment.

Conclusions: In this review, we summarized the current knowledge of the roles of FXR in different lung diseases. A better understanding of the roles and mechanisms of FXR in lung diseases will provide new perspectives for the treatment of lung diseases.

背景和目的:法尼类固醇 X 受体(FXR)由 NR1H4 基因编码,是一种配体激活的转录因子,也是核受体(NR)超家族的成员。作为胆汁酸(BA)的受体,FXR 在胆汁酸代谢、脂质代谢和炎症反应的调节中发挥着关键作用。本文综述了 FXR 在各种肺部疾病发病机制中的作用,并确定了这些疾病的潜在诊断指标或治疗靶点:方法:检索PubMed和美国国家生物技术信息中心(NCBI)在线数据库,检索2000年至2024年发表的相关文章:FXR 最初被发现在肝脏和肠道等 BA 靶器官中表达。然而,最近的研究表明,FXR 也在 "非典型 "BA 靶器官中表达,如肺和血管。FXR 不仅参与了一系列胃肠道和肝脏疾病的病理生理学,还参与了各种肺部疾病。最新证据表明,FXR 通过多种机制参与肺部疾病的发病机制。此外,FXR 可能是某些肺部疾病的潜在治疗靶点。例如,有报道称 FXR 通过诱导程序性死亡配体 1(PD-L1)的表达,进而抑制肿瘤微环境中的抗肿瘤免疫,促进非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的发生和发展:在这篇综述中,我们总结了目前关于 FXR 在不同肺部疾病中作用的知识。更好地了解 FXR 在肺部疾病中的作用和机制将为肺部疾病的治疗提供新的视角。

Background: Kirschner wires or pins were widely used for osteosynthesis in trauma surgery. Breakage of osteosynthesis material and intra-thoracic migration is a complication that has occasionally been described. We reviewed the literature to study the frequency and pathophysiology of such migrations.

Methods: PubMed and Embase databases were searched for reports of intrathoracic osteosynthesis material migration. Cases were divided according to specific anatomic regions. We studied the time interval between initial operation, types of osteosynthesis material, intactness and trajectory of the material. Operative techniques and the outcome of material retrieval were analyzed.

Results: Of 3,592 potential articles, 102 manuscripts met all inclusion criteria describing 112 individual cases for a total of 124 different migrations. Risk of reporting bias was high. Osteosynthesis material predominately migrated into lung (29.0%), mediastinum (24.2%), major vessels/heart (18.5%), pleural space (9.7%) or spinal canal (13.7%). Migration occurred from four anatomical regions but predominantly the shoulder girdle (73.2%). The migration trajectory was not always predicable. We found that migration was linear in 83.8% (odds ratio 4.8, P=0.002) of reported cases if the origin was the clavicle compared to other regions. Intrapulmonary migrations were associated with a linear trajectory of intact material, while intrapleural migration were associated with non-linear migration of broken material. More than half of all reported migrations (51.8%) occurred later than one year after osteosynthesis, ranging from three days to 360 months. Major open surgery was performed for extraction in 66.9% of cases, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) 14.4% and local shoulder/neck incisions in 12.7%. Intra-thoracic migration was fatal in 4.5%. For osteosynthesis material retrieval from pulmonary parenchyma, VATS was used in only 25% and resulted in shorter hospital stays (T=-1.542, P=0.07), 3.2 days (W=0.890, P=0.47) compared to 6.2 days (W=0.879, P=0.056) for open surgery.

Conclusions: Intrathoracic migration of intact or broken Kirschner wires is not rare and potentially fatal. Migration trajectories and destination are difficult to predict. Systematic long-term radiological follow-up of such osteosynthesis material seems warranted. This review suggests that all intrathoracically migrated osteosynthesis material should be surgically removed. Minimally invasive approaches (VATS) should be considered whenever anatomy and clinical presentation allow this.

背景:Kirschner 线或针被广泛用于创伤手术中的骨合成。骨合成材料断裂和胸腔内移位是偶尔出现的并发症。我们回顾了相关文献,以研究此类移位的频率和病理生理学:方法:我们检索了PubMed和Embase数据库中有关胸腔内骨合成材料移位的报道。根据具体的解剖区域对病例进行了划分。我们研究了初次手术的时间间隔、骨合成材料的类型、材料的完好性和轨迹。我们还分析了手术技巧和材料取回的结果:在3592篇潜在文章中,有102篇符合所有纳入标准,描述了112个病例,共计124种不同的移位情况。报告偏倚风险很高。骨合成材料主要移入肺部(29.0%)、纵隔(24.2%)、大血管/心脏(18.5%)、胸膜腔(9.7%)或椎管(13.7%)。移位发生在四个解剖区域,但主要发生在肩腰部(73.2%)。迁移轨迹并不总是可预测的。我们发现,在报告的病例中,83.8%的病例(几率比4.8,P=0.002)的迁移是线性的,如果起源是锁骨,则与其他区域相比。肺内移位与完整材料的线性轨迹有关,而胸膜内移位则与破损材料的非线性移位有关。在所有报告的移位病例中,一半以上(51.8%)发生在骨合成术后一年以后,时间从三天到360个月不等。66.9%的病例是通过大型开胸手术取出的,14.4%的病例是通过视频辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)取出的,12.7%的病例是通过局部肩颈切口取出的。4.5%的病例因胸腔内移位而致命。在从肺实质取出骨合成材料时,仅有25%的患者使用了VATS,住院时间较短(T=-1.542,P=0.07),为3.2天(W=0.890,P=0.47),而开放手术为6.2天(W=0.879,P=0.056):结论:完整或断裂的Kirschner导丝发生胸腔内移位并不罕见,而且可能致命。迁移轨迹和目的地难以预测。似乎有必要对此类骨合成材料进行系统的长期放射学随访。本综述建议,所有胸腔内移位的骨合成材料都应通过手术取出。只要解剖和临床表现允许,就应考虑采用微创方法(VATS)。

Background: Despite the benefits of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), postoperative acute pain and nerve injury are still present and contribute to early persistent and chronic pain. The purpose of this study is to describe the incidence of early persistent pain (EPP) after VATS, which remains unexplored, to enhance patient care and promote awareness among clinicians regarding this clinical condition.

Methods: A single-center prospective cohort study that included consecutive patients undergoing VATS between January 2021 and March 2023. The primary outcome was the incidence of EPP, defined as pain experienced at 3 to 4 weeks follow-up. Secondary outcomes were risk factors associated with EPP, characteristics during physical examination, acute postoperative pain scores, the use of additional analgesia and complications between patients with and without EPP.

Results: Of 117 patients, 16.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): 9-23%] developed EPP. The presence of acute postoperative pain was the only risk factor for EPP. The pain was mostly localized at the utility and ventral incision. Hyperesthesia, hypoesthesia and a positive pinch test were the most common sensory disturbances. Patients with EPP showed significantly higher acute pain scores until postoperative day (POD) 4, more frequently used additional opioids until POD 2, and had comparable complications.

Conclusions: Early persistent postoperative pain is present in 16.2% of patients after VATS. Acute postoperative pain is the strongest risk factor for developing such persistent pain. This underlines that awareness of clinicians for strategies that optimize postoperative pain management is of utmost importance.

背景:尽管视频辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)具有诸多优点,但术后急性疼痛和神经损伤仍然存在,并导致早期持续性疼痛和慢性疼痛。本研究旨在描述 VATS 术后早期持续性疼痛(EPP)的发生率,以加强对患者的护理,提高临床医生对这一临床症状的认识:方法:单中心前瞻性队列研究,纳入 2021 年 1 月至 2023 年 3 月间接受 VATS 手术的连续患者。主要结果是 EPP 的发生率,定义为随访 3 至 4 周时出现的疼痛。次要结果是与 EPP 相关的风险因素、体格检查时的特征、术后急性疼痛评分、额外镇痛的使用以及有 EPP 和无 EPP 患者之间的并发症:在117名患者中,16.2%[95%置信区间(CI):9-23%]的患者出现了EPP。术后急性疼痛是导致 EPP 的唯一风险因素。疼痛主要集中在实用部位和腹侧切口。感觉过敏、感觉减退和捏拿试验阳性是最常见的感觉障碍。EPP患者在术后第4天(POD)前的急性疼痛评分明显更高,在术后第2天前更频繁地使用额外的阿片类药物,并出现了类似的并发症:结论:16.2%的 VATS 患者会出现术后早期持续疼痛。术后急性疼痛是导致这种持续性疼痛的最主要风险因素。这强调了临床医生对优化术后疼痛管理策略的认识至关重要。
