Purpose To assess the feasibility of dual-energy dual-source virtual noncontrast (VNC) CT in the diagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma,in order to reduce radiation hazard.Materials and Methods Forty-nine patients with clinically identified laryngeal carcinoma underwent conventional non-contrast (CNC) scan as well as arterial and venous dual-phase and dual-energy VNC scan.The VCN images of arterial and venous phase were obtained by using the dual-energy software.The mean CT value,signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),contrast noise ratio (CNR),lesion morphology,image quality and radiation dose were compared between the VNC and CNC images.Results The mean CT value,SNR,CNR and image quality scores of CNC were higher than those of VNC images of arterial and venous phase (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the image quality scores of VNC between the arterial and venous phase (P＞0.05).The image quality scores of VNC were all above 3,which could meet the diagnostic requirements.There was no significant difference in the shape,size,boundary and cystic necrosis of the lesions,invasion of the surrounding space,osteolytic destruction and size of the surrounding lymph node between the CNC and VNC image.The radiation dose of dual-phase dual-energy scan was 0.42 mSv,which was 18.3％ lower than that of the conventional three-phase scan.Conclusion For laryngeal carcinoma,the VNC images from the dual-energy CT scan can be used to reduce the radiation dose without affecting image quality and diagnosis accuracy,which has good clinical value.

Objective To investigate the value of low-dose coronary artery imaging with flash dual-energy CT.Methods In total of 240 patients suspected with coronary heart disease were performed dual-energy CCTA(DE-CCTA)and were divided into four groups according to the A tube electric current and the methods of reconstruction,including group A(conventional group:180 mAs+FBP)and low-dose groups(including group B,C,D:1 50 mAs,120 mAs,90 mAs +SAFIRE,respectively).The mean of CT value, image noise,SNR,CNR,image quality and radiation dosage were compared among the four groups.Among the patients,52 cases with coronary artery stenosis which were diagnosised by DE-CCTA were also confirmed by CAG,and the consistency of these two methods in the diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis were compared.Results The scores of all image quality were more than 3 points and were statistically significant among the four groups(P <0.05).The mean of CT value is not statistically significant (P >0.05), while the image noise,SNR,CNR and the radiation dosage were statistically significant (P <0.05)among the four groups.The ED of group D was lower 55.62% than group A.DE-CCTA and CAG in the diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis had satisfactory consistency (Kappa=0.84,P<0.05).Conclusion Low-dose coronary artery DE-CCTA not only have none affect of image quality and diagnostic accuracy, but also can significantly reduce the radiation dosage.

Objective:To improve awareness about infratentorial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF).Methods:Three cases of DAVF in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from September 2017 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed in terms of clinical features, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, brain imaging and treatment, and followed up through telephone call.Results:Case 1: A 43-year-old woman, in chronic but acute aggravated course, presented with weakness of both lower limbs and urination and defecation dysfunction. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed abnormal signal in medulla. CSF analysis demonstrated aquaporin-4 antibodies positive. Misdiagnosed as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, the treatment was poor. Then digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed DAVF at the left infratentorial area, and endovascular treatment was operated. Relapse was not observed in two-year follow up. Case 2: A 57-year-old woman, in chronic progressive course, mainly manifested as memory loss, but progressed with dysphagia, fever, coma. Treatment as “central nervous infection” was poor. Then DSA showed DAVF at the bilateral transverse-sigmoid sinus area, and endovascular treatment was operated with embolized partial fistulas. The patient died from lung infection within two months. Case 3: A 52-year-old man, in subacute course, was treated in the Gastroenterology Department with clinical manifestion of stubborn nausea and vomiting. Brain MRI revealed abnormal signal in medulla, with prominent vessel flow voids nearby. Then DSA showed DAVF at the craniocervical junction, and endovascular treatment was operated. Relapse was not observed in six-month follow up.Conclusions:DAVF has a variety of clinical manifestations, and infratentorial DAVF can manifest as acute neurological dysfunction involving the brain stem, cerebellum, spinal cord, which may be easily misdiagnosed. When brain MRI showed intracranial abnormal signal, the possibility of DAVF should be considered. DSA remains the gold standard to diagnose DAVF. Endovascular embolization is the main treatment of infratentorial DAVF at present. Prognosis depends on clinical presentation and fistula classification.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between R. E.N.A.L., PADUA, C-index, DAP scoring system and the efficacy and safety of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for T 1b renal tumors, and to construct a nomogram model to predict the efficacy and safety of surgery by combining multiple parameters. Methods:The data of 80 patients with stage T 1b renal tumor who received NSS from March 2020 to July 2021 in Changhai Hospital of Naval Military Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 59 males and 21 females, aged (56.9±10.2) years old. The tumor diameter was (4.7±0.9) cm, with 40 cases on the left and 40 on the right sides. Tumors were located in the upper/lower pole in 46 cases and in the middle in 34 cases. The tumors were located in 59 cases laterally, 21 cases medially, and 74 cases were bulging, 16 cases endogenous. There were 53 round tumors, 18 lobular tumors, and 9 irregular tumors. One case underwent open surgery, 43 cases underwent laparoscopic surgery, and 36 cases underwent robotic surgery.42 cases underwent transperitoneal approach, and 38 cases underwent retroperitoneal approach. The composite outcome (MIC) achieved by all three indicators, including negative surgical margins, warm ischemia time <20 min, and no serious complications, was used as the main indicator to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgery. Secondary indicators were operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative creatinine changes and hemoglobin changes. Relevant risk factors were analyzed by logistic regression, and a nomogram model for predicting surgical efficacy and safety was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were used to compare the predictive power of the nomogram model with other scoring systems. Results:Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that PADUA and R. E.N.A.L. scores were risk factors for MIC achievement( OR=1.419, P=0.038; OR=1.358, P=0.038). However, C-index and DAP were not risk factors for MIC achievement( P>0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that R. E.N.A.L. score was significantly correlated with postoperative hemoglobin decrease(R 2=0.197). PADUA score was significantly correlated with postoperative hospital stay(R 2=0.186). C-index was significantly correlated with postoperative creatinine increase(R 2=-0.221). DAP was significantly associated with operation time (R 2=0.192). The results of univariate logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index ( OR=1.257, P=0.025), tumor morphology ( OR=18.741, P=0.005), longitudinal location of tumor ( OR=1.992, P=0.038), the relationship between tumor and collection system ( OR=4.886, P=0.002) were risk factors for MIC attainment. A nomogram prediction model was constructed by combining these indicators with the Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) index. The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram model and R. E.N.A.L. score, PADUA score, C-index, and DAP were 0.834, 0.645, 0.643, 0.526, and 0.593, respectively. The nomogram model had the highest predictive power for T 1b renal tumors achieving MIC. Conclusions:In the renal tumor scoring system, PADUA and R. E.N.A.L. scores can predict whether the MIC of T 1b renal tumor NSS is achieved or not. The nomogram model composed of patient body mass index, tumor shape, longitudinal position of tumor, relationship between tumor and collecting system and MAP can better predict whether the MIC of T 1b renal tumor NSS is achieved or not.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of patients with local recurrence and secondary operation after partial nephrectomy for renal cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 14 patients who underwent secondary operation for local recurrence of renal cancer after partial nephrectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2000 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 12 males and 2 females. Nine patients had a body mass index ≥24 kg/m 2. At first diagnosis of renal cancer, nine patients’ R. E.N.A.L. score of renal mass were at least 7. Partial nephrectomy was performed in the first operation of each patient, including 4 cases of open surgery, 6 cases of laparoscopic surgery, and 4 cases of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. The pathological stage of nine patients was pT 1aN 0M 0 and that of five patients was pT 1bN 0M 0. Twelve cases were clear cell carcinoma, 1 case was sarcomatoid carcinoma and 1 case was chromophobe cell carcinoma. The mean time from the first operation to local recurrence was (29.3±16.8) months. All recurrence lesions were found by abdominal CT or MRI. Thirteen patients had no clinical symptom at the time of tumor recurrence. The location of recurrence was clear. No sign of invasion of peripheral organs and tissues was observed. There was no other suspicious lesion. The tumor was considered to be completely resectable in all patients. All 14 cases underwent secondary operation. Ten patients underwent radical nephrectomy [tumor size was (2.8±0.9) cm]. Partial nephrectomy was performed in 4 cases [tumor size was (1.8±0.9) cm]after full evaluation by surgeons, including 2 cases of anatomic solitary kidney, and 2 cases of recurrent tumor less than 2 cm with clear tumor margin. Results:Eleven of the 14 cases underwent minimally invasive surgery, and no cases were converted to open surgery. The other 3 cases underwent open surgery. Seven patients had severe adhesions in the operation area. The blood loss in the partial nephrectomy group and the radical nephrectomy group was (100.0±70.7) ml and (143.0±81.2) ml, respectively. According to the Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications, Grade Ⅰ and Grade Ⅱ complication occurred in 1 patient respectively, and no patient had Grade Ⅲ or above complication. No tumor cell was found at the surgical margin. The pathological type and nuclear grade were the same as those in the first operation. There were 10 cases of pT 1aN 0M 0 stage, 3 cases of pT 3aN 0M 0 stage and 1 case of pT 3aN 1M 0stage. The follow-up time of 13 patients with complete follow-up data was (21.4±14.9) months after local recurrence resection. The tumor recurred in 3 patients and metastasized in 2 patients. The disease-free survival time of the above 5 patients was (13.2±8.8) months. Of the 4 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy, 3 had recurrence or metastasis. Among the 9 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy, 2 had postoperative recurrence or metastasis, and 7 patients survived without tumor until the last follow-up. Conclusions:For patients with local recurrence after partial nephrectomy who are in good condition and the recurrent lesions can be completely resected, the second operation is safe, feasible and effective. Patients with secondary radical nephrectomy have better prognosis. If the patient has a solitary kidney, the recurrent tumor is small and the margin is clear, partial nephrectomy can also be selected for the second operation. But the postoperative follow-up should be emphasized, and the adjuvant drug therapy should be given if necessary.

Currently, in precision cardiac surgery, there are still some pressing issues that need to be addressed. For example, cardiopulmonary bypass remains a critical factor in precise surgical treatment, and many core aspects still rely on the experience and subjective judgment of cardiopulmonary bypass specialists and surgeons, lacking precise data feedback. With the increasing elderly population and rising surgical complexity, precise feedback during cardiopulmonary bypass becomes crucial for improving surgical success rates and facilitating high-complexity procedures. Overcoming these key challenges requires not only a solid medical background but also close collaboration among multiple interdisciplinary fields. Establishing a multidisciplinary team encompassing professionals from the medical, information, software, and related industries can provide high-quality solutions to these challenges. This article shows several patents from a collaborative medical and electronic information team, illustrating how to identify unresolved technical issues and find corresponding solutions in the field of precision cardiac surgery while sharing experiences in applying for invention patents.
