Objective To explore the feasibility of fishing net repairing transverse fascia method for inguinal hernia (type Ⅰ , Ⅱ ) using laparoscopic surgical procedure. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data between the method of fishing net repairing transverse fascia surgery for 145 cases of inguinal hernia (typeⅠ,Ⅱ ) using laparoscopic surgical procedure from May 2004 to May 2008 (laparoscopic group) and the method of open repairing surgery 143 cases (open group) at the same period were conducted. The differences in the operative time, rehabilitation activities time, length of stay, cost of hospitalization and 0comphcations, recurrence rate were compared. Results The laparoscopic group was significantly better in the operative time [ ( 14.8 ± 11.5) min ], found hiding oblique hernia ( 15 cases), rehabilitation activities time[ ( 16.5 ± 14.3) h], use of analgesics(5 cases), scrotal edema(1 case), length of stay[ (4.2 ± 1.5) d], than those of the open group [ ( 37.6 ± 25.4) min, 0, (52.7 ± 12.6) h, 13, 14, ( 8.4 ± 2.6 ) d respectively ] ; but the recurrence rate was no significantly different. Conclusion Method of fishing net repairing transverse fascia for inguinal hernia (type Ⅰ , Ⅱ ) using laparoscopie surgical procedure is feasible.

Objective To investigate the invasion situation of cardinal ligaments(CL) in stage Ⅰ A2 - ⅡA2 cervical cancer and to find the high risk clinicopathological factors affecting its invasion .Methods The retrospective analysis was performed on the clinicopathological data in 2 982 patients with cervical cancer treated by operation extracted in 5 hospitals from January 2004 to De‐cember 2014 .Results (1) Totally 855 cases according with the research condition were included .The CL invasion was found in 20 cases(2 .3% ) .No CL invasion occurred in the stage ⅠA2 ,the CL invasion rate in the stage ⅠB1 was 1 .7% ,in the stage ⅠB2 was 1 .2% ,in the stage ⅡA1 was 5 .7% and in the stage ⅡA2 was 2 .9% .With the increase of FIGO staging ,the CL invasion rate had no significant increase(P=0 .269) .(2) The infiltration rate of left CL and right CL had no statistical difference among the stageⅠA2- ⅡA2(P=1 .000) .And the invasion rate of the left CL with different FIGO stages had no statistical difference(P=0 .286) , while the right one had statistical difference(P=0 .005) ,in which the highest was in the stage ⅡA1 (4 .3% ) .(3)The univariate a‐nalysis found that lymph‐vascular invasion ,cervical stroma infiltration depth ,pelvic lymph node metastasis ,uterus body infiltration and vaginal fornix infiltration were the risk factors of CL invasion(P<0 .01);the further multivariate analysis determined that the invasion of uterine body(OR=11 .858) ,pelvic lymph node metastasis(OR=6 .359 ,) ,vaginal fornix infiltration(OR=6 .012 ,) were the risk factors for CL invasion(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The invasion rate of CL invasion in early stage cervcial cancer is low .The invasion of uterine body ,pelvic lymph node metastasis and vaginal fornix filtration are the risk factors for CL invasion in the stageⅠA2- ⅡA2 cervical cancer .

Objective To investigate the characteristics of pulmonary artery diameter in patients with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection-associated pulmonary hypertension(PAH),and to explore the clinical significance of pulmonary artery diameter correlation indices combined with tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)for early screening and diagnosis of HIV-associated pulmonary hypertension,aiming to provide valuable clinical insights.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 65 HIV-infected patients admitted to the Eighth Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University between May 2017 and December 2023.Based on echocardiog-raphy findings,the patients were categorized into an observation group(23 cases with PAH)and a control group(42 cases without PAH).Measurements of pulmonary artery diameter(PA),distal pulmonary artery diameter(dPA),and aortic diameter were obtained in both groups,and the ratio of dPA to aortic diameter(rPA)was cal-culated.Additionally,serum TNF-α levels were recorded.The clinical significance of each index in early screening and diagnosis of HIV-related pulmonary hypertension was analyzed.Results The PA,dPA,rPA,and TNF-α levels in the observation group were significantly higher compared to those in the control group.Pearson linear correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between TNF-α and both dPA and rPA.Two-column correlation analysis demonstrated a significant association between HIV-PAH and PA,dPA,rPA,as well as TNF-α(P<0.05).The combined measurement of serum TNF-α with dPA and rPA exhibited an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.891 for diagnosing HIV-APAH,with a sensitivity of 0.870 and specificity of 0.881.Conclusion The combination of pulmonary artery diameter and TNF-α provides a more accurate indication of the presence of HIV-PAH,enabling early screening,follow-up,or intervention in high-risk patients.This finding holds significant implications for enhancing patient prognosis.

A total of more than 500 specialists and scholars across the country attended the meeting. The theme of this congress was "Burn Medicine: standardization and internationalization" . With the meetings being held in the one main venue and three branch venues and elite forum, the related hot topics and difficult problems were discussed warmly in multiple dimensions. During the conference, Founding Congress of 6th Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Burns, the Standing Committee and whole Committee of Chinese Burn Association, and the Congress of Burn Medicine Branch of CPAM were held in pragmatic and efficient manners.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of MR elastography and diffusion?weighted imaging in patients with liver fibrosis in the context of chronic hepatitis B. Methods Twenty?four patients with chronic hepatitis B, whose course of liver disease was more than 6 months and hepatitis B surface antigen was positive, were prospectively enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July to December 2017. All of the patients underwent abdominal transient elastography (TE), routine MRI, magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and DWI examination, TE and MRI were performed within one week. TE liver stiffness was measured, the MRE liver stiffness and ADC value were measured on MR imagings. All patients were divided into three groups: mild and non fibrosis (F0 to 1), significant fibrosis(F2 to 3) and cirrhosis (F4), according to the recommended standard of FibroTouch. Correlation between TE liver stiffness, MRE liver stiffness and ADC values were identified by using Spearman correlation test. The difference of the MRE liver stiffness and ADC value among the three groups was tested using independent sample t test. The overall predictive ability of MRE and DWI in assessment of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis was analyzed by constructing ROC curve. Results TE and MRI were successfully performed in all subjects, and the image quality was good. The MRE liver stiffness in mild and non fibrosis, significant fibrosis and cirrhosis was (2.32±0.31),(3.43±1.05),(4.77±0.68) kPa with statistically significant difference(F=61.690, P<0.01). The ADC values in three groups were (1.31 ± 0.14)×10-3, (1.23 ± 0.15)×10-3,(1.22±0.12)×10-3mm2/s without significant difference(F=1.074,P=0.360). The TE liver stiffness in three groups was (5.61±1.05),(9.56±0.57),(17.25±3.55)kPa, respectively, there was significant correlation between the MRE liver stiffness and the TE liver stiffness(t=0.858, P<0.01), but no significant correlation between the TE liver stiffness and the ADC value was found (r=-0.326,P=0.120). The area under ROC of MRE liver stiffness in diagnosing liver fibrosis grade (≥F2 and F4) was 0.96 and 1.00 respectively, while the AUC of ADC value was less than 0.70, which were 0.67 and 0.62 respectively. Conclusion MRE is a non?invasive promising tool for assessing liver fibrosis with chronic hepatitis B, while DWI has limited role.
