Objective To observe the effects of modified Jianpi Yishen Decoction on urinary osteopontin (OPN) in calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis patients after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or ureteroscope lithotomy (URL);To clarify the mechanism of modified Jianpi Yishen Decoction on the prevention of calcium oxalate kidney stones. Methods Totally 116 calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis patients were randomly divided into trial group (62 cases) and control group (54 cases). The trial group took modified Jianpi Yishen Decoction every other day, while the control group took potassium sodium hydrogen citrate granules three times a day. The concentrations of OPN, urinary calcium and urinary oxalic acid of the patients in the two groups were observed before treatment and 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment. Results The concentration of urinary OPN of 2 weeks and 4 weeks of the treatment in the trial group was significantly increased compared with before treatment (P<0.05), and the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group (P<0.05). The concentration of urinary OPN in the control group had no significant change after treatment (P>0.05). The differences in the concentrations of urinary calcium and urinary oxalic acid of the two groups between before and after treatment were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Modified Jianpi Yishen Decoction can effectively restrain the formation of the calcium oxalate stones by increasing the level of urinary OPN, which demonstrates effective prevention in the calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis patients after PCNL or URL.

Objective:To study the clinical results of robot-assisted laparoscopic resection for choledochal cysts.Methods:From October 2020 to June 2022, clinical data on 20 patients who underwent choledochal da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cyst resection at Fujian Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Forty-two children with choledochal cysts were included in this study. There were 16 males and 26 females, aged 25 (range 15.0 to 45.0) months. The operations were carried out by the same team of surgeons. These patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical methods: children who underwent da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery were in the robotic group ( n=20) and children who underwent single-port (transumbilical) laparoscopic surgery were in the laparoscopic group ( n=22). The general clinical data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fasting time, hospital stay, total medical costs and complications were collectd and analysed. Follow-up was performed in outpatient visits. Results:Both the 2 groups underwent surgery successfully, and no patient was converted to laparotomy. When compared with the laparoscopic group, intraoperative blood loss [(10.65±3.75) vs. (14.86±3.75) ml], indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube [(5.45±2.21) vs. (7.05±1.94) d] and fasting time [(4.00±1.49) vs. (6.05±1.43) d] in the robotic group were significantly less, while the operation time [394(299, 422) vs. 351(269, 380) min] and hospitalization cost [(79 200±4 000) vs. (31 100±3 000) yuan] were significantly increased (all P<0.05). The differences in postoperative complication rates and pain score between the two groups showed no significant differences (all P>0.05). On follow-up, no patients developed complications such as cholangitis, jaundice, intestinal obstruction and cholangiocarcinoma, except for one patient in the laparoscopic group who developed cholangitis after surgery. Conclusion:Robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cystectomy was effective and safe in treatment of children with choledochal cysts.

Objective:To explore the early clinical efficacy of ultrasound visualized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of lower back myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) after sports injury.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 32 patients with lower back MPS after sports injury, who were admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2023 to March 2023. Ultrasound-guided PRP injection into the erector spinalis or quadratus psoas muscles was used for treatment. Before treatment, at 24 hours, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after treatment, pain and function were evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS), McGill pain questionnaire (McGill), Roland Morris dysfunction questionnaire (RMDQ), and Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI). Before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment, the quality of life was evaluated using the short-form 36 item health survey questionnaire (SF-36). The adverse reactions were observed during treatment and follow-up.Results:A total of 32 patients with lower back MPS after sports injury were enrolled, including 10 males and 22 females; aged 12-68 years [(47.3±16.3)years]. All the patients were followed up for 4 weeks. Before and at 24 hours, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after treatment, the VAS was 5.0(4.0, 6.0)points, 3.5(3.0, 4.8)points, 2.0(2.0, 3.0)points, and 2.0(1.3, 3.0)points, respectively; the McGill score was 9.0(7.0, 11.0)points, 7.0(5.0, 9.0)points, 4.0(3.0, 5.0)points, and 3.0(3.0, 5.0)points, respectively; the RMDQ score was 8.0(5.3, 10.8)points, 5.5(3.0, 8.0)points, 4.0(3.0, 5.8)points, and 3.0(2.0, 4.8)points, respectively; the ODI was 22.0(14.5, 30.0), 20.0(14.5, 25.5), 9.0(6.0, 16.0), and 8.0(4.5, 14.0), respectively. Compared with the values before treatment, the VAS, McGill score, and RMDQ score were significantly decreased at 24 hours, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after treatment (all P<0.05); the ODI had no significant difference at 24 hours after treatment ( P>0.05), but it was significantly decreased at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment (all P<0.05). Compared with the values at 24 hours after treatment, the VAS, McGill score, RMDQ score and ODI further decreased at 2 weeks after treatment (all P<0.05). Compared with the values at 2 weeks after treatment, there was no significant difference in the VAS, McGill score, RMDQ score, or ODI at 4 weeks after treatment (all P>0.05). In the SF-36, the scores of physiological function [77.5(60.0, 93.8)points], physiological role [50.0(0.0, 100.0)points], body pain [64.0(44.5, 74.0)points], vitality [75.0(65.0, 78.8)points], social function [87.5(75.0, 100.0)points], emotional role [66.7(33.3, 100.0)points] and mental health [72.0(68.0, 83.0)points] before treatment were increased to 90.0(80.0, 98.8)points, 100.0(56.3, 100.0)points, 84.0(74.0, 84.0)points, 75.0(70.0, 80.0)points, 100.0(87.5, 112.5)points, 100.0(66.7, 100.0)points, and 76.0(68.0, 84.0)points after 4 weeks of treatment, respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the general health status or health changes before and after treatment (all P>0.05). During treatment and follow-up, no adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, pain, or subcutaneous bleeding were observed. Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided PRP treatment can improve the early pain, lumbar mobility and quality of life of patients with lower back MPS after sports injury, with no presence of adverse reactions.

Objective:To asscentain the 131I activity concentration in 131I treatment workplaces and to explore the method of estimating the internal dose to workers by air sampling and to analyze its influencing factors. Methods:Air sampling method was used to collect aerosols containing radioactivity in 10 randomly selected workplaces in Zhengzhou where 131I therapy was performed. Aactivity concentration of 131I in treatment workplace was measured for gamma emitters by gamma-ray spectrometry. The internal dose due to 131I inhalation was estimated based on measurement result and field investigation result. Results:The activity concentration of 131I in air samples from 19 subpacking rooms ranged from 0.087 to 570 Bq/m 3, with an average of (51.04 ± 128.58) Bq/m 3. Those from 11 wards ranged from 0.162 to 54.6 Bq/m 3, with an average of (7.97 ± 15.89) Bq/m 3. In terms of the work hours recommended by the national standard GBZ 129-2016 Specifications for individual monitoring of occupational internal exposure, the estimated annual effective dose to radiation workers due to the inhalation of 131I ranges from 0.002 to 10 mSv, with an average of (0.61 ± 1.80) mSv, below the dose limit specified in the national standards. Conclusions:The samples with high 131I activity concentration in nuclear medicine workplaces of 10 medical institutions selected in Zhengzhou are mostly distributed in tertiary class hospitals operating large amount of radionuclide with large numbers of thyroid cancer patients adimitted. The result ing internal dose to radiation workers cannot be ignored. Estimating the internal dose based on the measurement result of air samples has a large uncertainty.However, air sampling method can promptly detect radioactive contamination in case of abnormal events or accidents, providing early warning for workers to carry out dose measurement from external exposure and internal exposure assessment.
