Article Abstract

This study aims to investigate the isolation effect of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and the vimentin antibody PLGA/lipid magnetic microsphere on the isolation and identification of lung cancer circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the isolation and identification system of lung cancer CTC. The synthesis of the magnetic microsphere was achieved by the composite package of FeO magnetite nanoparticles with poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) carboxylic acid endcap (PLGA-COOH) and octadecyl quaternized carboxymethyl chitosan (OQC), immunomagnetic microspheres (IMS) was prepared by linking an EpCAM antibody and a vimentin antibody. Blood samples of tumor-bearing nude mice (A549 lung cancer cells) were collected. Through a separation technique, the CTCs were captured by the EpCAM immunomagnetic microspheres (EpCAM-MS) and vimentin immunomagnetic microspheres (Vim-MS), and the cells were then counted and compared with the pathological condition of the tumor tissues. The results showed that self-prepared EpCAM-MS and Vim-MS could effectively capture lung cancer CTC and match the pathological findings.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as the pioneering approach for the most complex of pulmonary resections, offering high-definition 3D visualization, enhanced instrument augmentation and tremor-free tissue articulation. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform is associated with reduced peri-operative morbidity, shorter hospital admissions and faster patient recovery. However, sublobar resections such as segmentectomies remain anatomically and technically demanding, particularly in the context of resecting multiple segments, as showcased in this right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as a leading technique for undertaking the most complex pulmonary resections, providing high-definition 3D visualization, advanced instrument control and tremor-free tissue handling. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform offers reduced peri-operative complications, shorter hospital stays and faster patient recovery. Nevertheless, sublobar resections, such as segmentectomies, remain both anatomically intricate and technically challenging, particularly when resecting multiple segments, as in this left S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Despite significant advancements in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using conventional therapeutic methods, drug resistance remains a major factor contributing to disease recurrence. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential benefits of combining PI3K inhibition with Cisplatin in the context of NSCLC-derived A549 cells. Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were cultured and treated with BKM120, cisplatin, or their combination.

Purpose: To develop and validate an integrated model based on MR high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) radiomics and clinical features to preoperatively assess periprocedural complications (PC) risk in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) undergoing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS).

Methods: This multicenter retrospective study enrolled 601 PTAS patients (PC+, n = 84; PC -, n = 517) from three centers. Patients were divided into training (n = 336), validation (n = 144), and test (n = 121) cohorts.
