Objective To evaluate transport efficiency and safety by process management during the handover of patients with tracheal intubation post-operation. Methods Prospective studies were performed between patients with or without process management during the handover. The time of handover were recorded and compared. The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial oxygen saturation were also recorded and compared. The adverse events during the handover were also investigated. Results It costed less time in the handover of patients under process management with significant difference[(4.75±0.54) min vs. (7.05±0.88) min, t=-17.21, P<0.01]. The incidence rate of harmful cases in the handover of patients under process management was significantly declined than that without process management[ 1.67%(1/60) vs. 13.33%(8/60),Χ2=4.324 3,P<0.05 ]. Conclusions Process management may facilitate the handover of patients with tracheal intubation post-operation and improve its safety.

【Objective】 To explore the causes of hypothermia in patients undergoing transurethral thulium laser prostatectomy. 【Methods】 A total of 170 patients who underwent transurethral thulium laser prostatectomy in our hospital during Sep.2020 and May 2021 were prospectively enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into normal body temperature group (n=143) and hypothermia group (n=27), based on whether perioperative hypothermia happened. The clinical data were analyzed to evaluate the risk factors of hypothermia. 【Results】 Univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in anesthesia time, operation time, prostate size and total amount of perfusion fluid between the two groups (P<0.05). Logistic analysis showed that the size of prostate was the independent risk factor of perioperative hypothermia (P<0.05). Patients were further divided according to prostate size. For patients with prostate < 80 g, the size of prostate was the independent risk factor of perioperative hypothermia (P<0.05), while for patients with prostate ≥ 80 g, the amount of perfusion fluid was the independent risk factor (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing transurethral thulium laser prostatectomy is related to the anesthesia time, operation time, prostate size and total amount of perfusion fluid. It is necessary to evaluate the risk factors before operation and take effective thermal insulation measures.

Objective:
To investigate the effect and safety of ultra-thin oblique posterosuperior auricular fascial flap in the second stage of ear reconstruction.
Methods:
Fifty-six cases with congenital microtia treated in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University Medical Cosmetology Department from November 2015 to November 2018 were selected as the research objects. In the first stage, the costal cartilage ear stent was implanted, and in the second stage. The ultra-thin posterior oblique fascia flap was used to cover the stent. And the cranioauricular angle was reconstructed by free skin grafting.
Results:
48 cases of the 54 cases completely survived, and 8 cases had hemorrhage after operation. The wounds were healed after dressing change. The postoperative cranioauricular angle was close to the healthy side.
Conclusions
In the second stage of ear reconstruction, the retroauricular ultra-thin fascial flap method has reliable blood supply, small wound, unswollen reconstructed ears, and good outcome. It is a good choice for covering the ear framework.

Mammals exhibit limited heart regeneration ability, which can lead to heart failure after myocardial infarction. In contrast, zebrafish exhibit remarkable cardiac regeneration capacity. Several cell types and signaling pathways have been reported to participate in this process. However, a comprehensive analysis of how different cells and signals interact and coordinate to regulate cardiac regeneration is unavailable. We collected major cardiac cell types from zebrafish and performed high-precision single-cell transcriptome analyses during both development and post-injury regeneration. We revealed the cellular heterogeneity as well as the molecular progress of cardiomyocytes during these processes, and identified a subtype of atrial cardiomyocyte exhibiting a stem-like state which may transdifferentiate into ventricular cardiomyocytes during regeneration. Furthermore, we identified a regeneration-induced cell (RIC) population in the epicardium-derived cells (EPDC), and demonstrated Angiopoietin 4 (Angpt4) as a specific regulator of heart regeneration. angpt4 expression is specifically and transiently activated in RIC, which initiates a signaling cascade from EPDC to endocardium through the Tie2-MAPK pathway, and further induces activation of cathepsin K in cardiomyocytes through RA signaling. Loss of angpt4 leads to defects in scar tissue resolution and cardiomyocyte proliferation, while overexpression of angpt4 accelerates regeneration. Furthermore, we found that ANGPT4 could enhance proliferation of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, and promote cardiac repair in mice after myocardial infarction, indicating that the function of Angpt4 is conserved in mammals. Our study provides a mechanistic understanding of heart regeneration at single-cell precision, identifies Angpt4 as a key regulator of cardiomyocyte proliferation and regeneration, and offers a novel therapeutic target for improved recovery after human heart injuries.
