During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

Model informed precision dosing (MIPD) is a new concept to guide precision dosing for individual patient by modeling and simulation based on the available information about the individual patient, medications and the disease. Compared to the empirical dosing, MIPD could improve the efficacy, safety, economics and adherence of the pharmacotherapy according to the individual's pathophysiology, genotyping and disease progression. This consensus report provides a brief account of the concept, methodology and implementation of MIPD as well as clinical decision supporting systems for MIPD. The status and future advancing of MIPD was also discussed to facilitate the appropriate application and development of MIPD in China.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical value of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the treatment of complicated gallstone disease.

METHODSFrom March 2014 to March 2015, 46 patients underwent cholecystectomy for complicated gallstone disease under 3D laparoscopy (3D group) and 43 received 2D laparoscopic cholecystectomy (2D group). The surgical data including the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, the rate of conversion to open laparotomy, recovery time of postoperative bowel motion and hospital stay were compared between the 2 groups.

RESULTSLaparoscopic cholecystectomy was successfully completed in 43 patients in 3D group and in 39 patients in 2D group, and the rates of conversion to open laparotomy were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). The median operation time was significantly shorter in 3D group than in 2D group (50.5∓15.2 vs 65.4∓18.1 min, P<0.05), and the median volume of intraoperative blood loss was significantly smaller in 3D group (34.1∓13.6 vs 44.5∓22.3 mL, P>0.05). No significant differences were found in the recovery time of postoperative bowel motion and postoperative hospital stays between the two groups (P>0.05).

CONCLUSION3D laparoscopy, which provides three-dimensional vision with a good sense of depth to allow precise surgical manipulation, can shorten the operation time and reduce the rate of conversion to open laparotomy for patients undergoing 3D laparoscopic cholecystectomy for complicated gallstone disease.

Objective To evaluate whether there is a correlation among plasma levels of procalcitonin (PCT),N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP)and cardiac troponin T (cTnT)in patients with sepsis,as well as significance to prognosis of patients.Methods 48 patients with sepsis who were admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital between September 2014 and March 2015 were chosen for study,patients were divided into severe and mild sepsis groups according to the disease condition,plasma levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP,and cTnT were de-tected,mortality of patients were analyzed statistically,relation between plasma levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP,cT-nT and patients’death were compared.Results The plasma levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP and cTnT in severe sepsis group were significantly higher than those in mild sepsis group (all P <0.05);mortality of mild sepsis group was significantly lower than that of severe sepsis group (10.53% vs 41.38%,P <0.05);Levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP and cTnT levels in died patients were all higher than surviving patients (all P <0.05);levels of PCT and NT-pro-BNP,NT-pro-BNP and cTnT were positively correlated respectively (rs = 0.337,P <0.05;rs =0.456,P =0.001, respectively ),while PCT was not significantly correlated with cTnT.Plasma levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP,and cTnT were all correlated with the prognosis of patients (P <0.05),and is helpful for judging the prognosis of pa-tients,combination of three indexes had better prognostic value for the prognosis.Conclusion Combination detec-tion of plasmid levels of PCT,NP-pro-BNP,and cTnT can assess the severity of infection in patients with sepsis, and preliminarily judge the prognosis of patients with sepsis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application value of three-dimensional visualization system (MI-3DVS software system) in the preoperative evaluation and surgical planning for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.MethodsThirteen patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma undergoing preoperative evaluation with MI-3DVS software in Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University between June 2009 and December 2013 were enrolled in this prospective study. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. Among the 13 patients, 8 were males and 5 werefemales with the age ranging from 34 to 81 years old and the median of 55 years old. Enhanced scan of liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and blood vessels in abdominal cavity was performed on the patients with 64-slice or 256-slice spiral CT. Four sets of medical digital imaging and data of plain scan phase, arterial phase, portal venous phase and venous phase were collected. The data of each phase were introduced into MI-3DVS to perform image segmentation and three-dimensional reconstruction. The three-dimensional relationship between tumor and intrahepatic bile duct, hepatic artery, portal venous system and hepatic venous system was observed after the reconstructed images were visualized and Bismuth-Corlette classiifcation was determined for the tumors. Moreover, surgery was simulated and surgical planning was formulated.Results The reconstructed models of 13 patients all exactly displayed the shape of liver and anatomic landmark of duct system. The structure and shape of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and various intrahepatic duct systems were realistic and stereoscopic and the direction of various branches was clear. Bismuth-Corlette classification of tumors was determined according to the results of three-dimensional reconstruction. One case was typeⅢa, 7 were typeⅢb and 5 were typeⅣ. The accuracy rate of tumor classification was 100%(13/13) by preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction. The coincidence rate of simulated surgery and actual operative procedure was 85% (11/13). The median operation time was 630 (300~720) min and the intraoperative blood loss was 410 (110~1 800) ml. The incidence of surgical complications was 23% (3/13). Two patients developed incision infection and 1 developed bile leakage. All were cured with conservative treatment. ConclusionThree-dimensional visualization system may accurately, directly and dynamically display the hilar cholangiocarcinoma and its three-dimensional adjacent relation, which may be used to perform accurate preoperative evaluation and surgical planning for patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the construction and clinical application of three-dimensional visualization platform in diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer.MethodsFifty-six patients with liver cancer diagnosed and treated in Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University between January 2012 and December 2014 were enrolled in this prospective study. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. Among the 56 patients, 49 were males and 7 were females with the average age of (47±7) years old. The 256-slice spiral CT scan was performed on the patients to collect plain scan data and thin-layer CT data of arterial phase, portal venous phase and hepatic venous phase. The data were imported into the Medical Image Three-dimensional Visualization System (MI-3DVS) to perform image segmentation and three-dimensional visualization analysis of the liver, tumor tissues, portal venous system, hepatic venous system, hepatic arterial system and organs around the liver. The individualized liver segmentation, classification of the vascular and middle lobe tumor was performed and individualized volume was calculated. The surgical planning was formulated through simulating multiple surgery and the rational surgical procedure was selected. For patients undergoing complex hepatectomy, three-dimensional liver model was printed.ResultsThe construction of three-dimensional visualization model of all 56 patients was completed, which could clearly display the anatomical morphology of each vascular system, the location and size of tumor, and perform individual liver segmentation as well as vascular, middle lobe tumor classification. According to individualized volume calculation, the median total liver volume was 1 215 (1 025-1 856) ml, the liver tumor volume was 368 (25-653) ml and the virtual removal liver volume was 478 (125-854) ml. All the 56 patients received radical resection of tumor. The actual operation was in accordant with the preoperative surgical plan. The 3D printing model of 11 patients undergoing complex hepatectomy was exactly the same with that observed during the operation. The operations of all patients were completed successfully and no death was observed during the perioperative period. Six patients developed pleural effusion and one developed bile leakage on the liver cutting surface after operation. These patients were cured after symptomatic treatments.Conclusion Three-dimensional visualization platform for diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer can realize the precise preoperative diagnosis and intraoperative manipulation, thus enhances the success rate of surgery.

Objective This study aims to investigate the diagnosis and treatment of external root resorption of adjacent teeth caused by impacted teeth via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods A total of 19 teeth from 15 patients with uncertain external root resorption caused by an adjacent impacted tooth were examined from January 2011 to December 2011. All teeth with uncertain external root resorption were scanned by CBCT. Three dimensions reconstruction were the con-ducted to determine the location and extent of resorption. Results In all cases, CBCT identified the accurate location and extent of external root resorption caused by adjacent impacted teeth. Furthermore, the technique provided impacted teeth location in three dimensions, including the relation between the impacted teeth and surrounding vital structures. Conclusion CBCT can provide direct and accurate images of the location and extent of external root resorption, as well as the location of the adja-cent impacted teeth in three dimensions. Therefore, the proposed technique provides reliable information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
