Objective To evaluate the value of perioperative multimodal stratified analgesia guided by PPRS-CYMZ 2.0. Methods One hundred and sixteen patients of both sexes, aged 16-85 yr, of A-merican Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ, scheduled for elective surgery in our hospital in August 2016, were included in this study and assigned into empirical analgesia group(group E, n=79) and stratified analgesia group(group S, n=73). The risk of postoperative pain was estimated by an expe-rienced associate chief anesthesiologist based on his clinical experience, and the perioperative analgesic protocol was determined in group E. The risk of postoperative pain was assessed using the perioperative pain risk scale PPRS-CYMZ 2.0 by another experienced associate chief anesthesiologist, the risk was stratified according to the scores, and the corresponding stratified analgesic protocol was determined in group S. Vis-ual analog scale scores and parents′satisfaction with analgesia were recorded on postoperative day 30. The requirement for preventive analgesia, total pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia(PCA)pump in 0-6 h, 6-24 h and 24-72 h periods, PCA background infusion dose and consumption of rescue analgesics were recorded. The development of adverse events during postoperative hospital stay and postoperative re-covery were also recorded. Analgesia-related parameters of medical economics were calculated. Results There was no significant difference in postoperative pain risk stratification between group E and group S(P>0.05), and the majority of patients were at moderate risk. Compared with group E, no significant change was found in visual analog scale scores on postoperative day 30, PCA background infusion dose or incidence of postoperative adverse effects(P>0.05), the requirement for preventive analgesia and satisfaction scores were significantly increased in high risk patients, the consumption of rescue analgesics was decreased in moderate risk patients(P<0.05), no significant change was found in the total pressing times of PCA pump in each time period in low risk patients(P>0.05), the total pressing times of PCA pump was significantly decreased, and the direct analgesic cost per patient and total analgesic cost were decreased in moderate and high risk patients, and the first ambulation time and length of postoperative hospital stay were shortened in high risk patients in group S(P<0.05). Conclusion PPRS-CYMZ 2.0 can achieve perioperative multi-modal stratified analgesia and individualized treatment.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and reliability of the frozen section during targeted prostate biopsy.Methods:The clinical and pathological information of patients who received cognitive fusion transperineal targeted plus systematic biopsy and frozen section of 1-2 core targeted biopsy were consecutively collected and retrospectively studied. The median age was 70 (ranging 64-78) years, with the median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 11.00 (ranging 6.63-16.52) ng/ml and the median prostate volume of 35.72 (ranging 22.59-47.71) ml. All patients received bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (bp-MRI) and have Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 3 or higher lesions diagnosed on bp-MRI. The suspected lesions would be taken by targeted biopsy of which one or two cores would be sent to prepare for the frozen sections. Then a cognitive fusion targeted and systematic biopsy covering the above targeted zones would be routinely administered under a transperineal approach as a standard protocol. The total time used for diagnosis of the frozen sections, the pathological diagnosis and the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade groups (GG) would be recorded. The sensitivity, the positive predictive value, and the accuracy on grade groups would be analyzed, using the pathological diagnosis based on standard sections from the same targeted lesion.Results:A total of 29 patients were included in this study. Accordingly, 29 suspected lesions were identified on bp-MRI. A total of 20 lesions were finally diagnosed of PCa on frozen section, with the detection rate of 69.0%. Of those, 9(45.0%) cases were ISUP GG 1 diseases, 5(25.0%) cases were GG 2 diseases, 1(5.0%) case was GG 3 disease, and 5(25.0%) cases were GG 4-5 diseases. A total of 22 lesions were diagnosed with PCa on standard sections of cores from the same targeted lesions, with the detection rate of 75.9%. Of those, 6(27.3%) cases were GG 1 disease, 11(50.0%) cases were GG 2 diseases, 1(4.5) case was GG 3 disease, and 4(18.2%) cases were GG 4-5 diseases. The sensitivity and the positive predictive value of frozen section were 90.9% and 100%, respectively. No false positive diagnosis was made by frozen section. Compared to diagnosis from frozen sections, the GG diagnosed from final standard sections were found to upgrade and downgrade in 2 and 2 cases, respectively. The accuracy rate on GG of frozen sections was 80%. The time used for the diagnosis of frozen sections was (11±2) minutes. The histology quality control of four specimens was dissatisfactory. Two were due to tissue loss and deformation during sampling, and the other two were due to cytoclasis during low-temperature transferring.Conclusion:It is feasible and reliable to make a pathological diagnosis from frozen section of prostate targeted biopsy.

Objective:To investigate the safety and dose of 4D template (real-time adjustable angle template) in the treatment of advanced malignant tumors with 125I seeds. Methods:98 patients with advanced malignant tumors admitted to Department of Thoracic Surgery of Shaanxi Provincial Tumor Hospital were treated with 4D template-navigated radioactive 125I seed implantation from June 2018 to December 2019. Preoperative TPS plan, intraoperative optimization, postoperative verification of immediate dose and postoperative evaluation of implantation dose were performed. The treatment results were observed. Results:All 98 patients completed the seed implantation. The implantation dose of GTV of implantation site receiving external irradiation was (12 489±414) cGy and the dose of no external irradiation was (15 036±514) cGy. V 100% was 84.7%-94.1%, and 88.2%-93.7%. The implantation dose of CTV was (7 450±621) cGy, and (9 080±761) cGy. The quality of dose implantation was evaluated as: excellent in 89 cases (91%, 89/98), good in 7 cases (7%, 7/98), fair in 2 cases (2%, 2/98), and poor in 0 case, respectively. The symptom relief rate of patients with pain was 92%(36/39). The 1-and 2-year local control rates were 61%, 36% and 82%, 54% in patients treated with and without external irradiation, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.02). The incidence rates of pneumothorax and hemoptysis were 19%(9/48) and 10%(5/48). No corresponding complications were observed in other parts of the patients. Conclusion:4D template-assisted 125I seed therapy is safe and effective for malignant tumors, and intraoperative adjustment of needle angle and dose optimization can realize the precise control of implantation dose.

Metabolic syndrome,a kind of clinical syndrome marked by the presence of symptoms such as hyperglycemia,dyslipidemia and hypertension,has an increasing incidence and comes to be present in younger people. More importantly,prolonged maintenance of this condition can significantly increase the incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes,cardiovascular disease and cancer.However,the formation mechanism of metabolic syndrome is very complex and has not been fully studied and revealed. Dendrobium officinale is a traditional medicine and food substance with multiple physiological functions. In recent years,D. officinale has attracted much attention from the scholars both at home and abroad due to its functions such as improving blood lipid,lowering blood pressure and regulating blood sugar. However,there is no systematic review on the current studies about D. officinale in intervening metabolic syndrome and its underlying molecular mechanism. In this paper,the biological activity of the main active components,and the research or application status of D. officinale extract in the recent years were reviewed. Then,we analyzed the digestion,absorption and the safety and toxicity of D. officinale and its active components in the body. Finally,we summarized the effects of D. officinale and its active components on metabolic syndrome in animals and human bodies,and discussed its possible molecular mechanisms at the cellular level. This paper provides solid theoretical guidance and reliable molecular basis for further research and advanced development of D. officinale and its active components,especially for its oncoming clinical application.

Ranunculales, comprising of 7 families that are rich in medicinal species frequently utilized by traditional medicine and ethnomedicine, represents a treasure chest of biodiversity and chemodiversity. The phylogenetically related species often have similar chemical profile, which makes them often possess similar therapeutic spectrum. This has been validated by both ethnomedicinal experiences and pharmacological investigations. This paper summarizes molecular phylogeny, chemical constituents, and therapeutic applications of Ranunculales, i.e., a pharmacophylogeny study of this representative medicinal order. The phytochemistry/metabolome, ethnomedicine and bioactivity/pharmacology data are incorporated within the phylogenetic framework of Ranunculales. The most studied compounds of this order include benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, flavonoid, terpenoid, saponin and lignan, etc. Bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids are especially abundant in Berberidaceae and Menispermaceae. The most frequent ethnomedicinal uses are arthritis, heat-clearing and detoxification, carbuncle-abscess and sore-toxin. The most studied bioactivities are anticancer/cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities, etc. The pharmacophylogeny analysis, integrated with both traditional and modern medicinal uses, agrees with the molecular phylogeny based on chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequences, in which Ranunculales is divided into Ranunculaceae, Berberidaceae, Menispermaceae, Lardizabalaceae, Circaeasteraceae, Papaveraceae, and Eupteleaceae families. Chemical constituents and therapeutic efficacy of each taxonomic group are reviewed and the underlying connection between phylogeny, chemodiversity and clinical uses is revealed, which facilitate the conservation and sustainable utilization of Ranunculales pharmaceutical resources, as well as developing novel plant-based pharmacotherapy.

Objective: To investigate hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) diagnosis and treatment plan. Methods: 24 cases diagnosed with PEComa clinical manifestations, serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), imaging findings, surgical methods, postoperative hospital stay, pathological results and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively from September 2015 to September 2020. Results: Majority of patients were females (79.2%), aged 41.5±11.4 years. Tumors were predominantly located in the right liver (50.0%). 76.7% of the cases were mostly clinically asymptomatic. AFP, CEA and CA199 indices were all negative. CT mostly showed low density tumor in the plain scan phase, enhanced in the enhancement phase, and enhanced and weakened in portal venous and equilibrium phase (66.7%). MRI manifestations of most tumors were hypointense on T1WI and hyperintense on T2WI (72.7%). B-ultrasound mostly showed hyperechoic mass in the tumor area with punctate vascular shadow (52.9%). Postoperative hospital stay was 9.0±2.4 days for laparoscopic surgery patients (n=13), 13.4±6.3 days for traditional laparotomy (hereinafter referred to as laparotomy, n=10), and 3 days for 1 patient with microwave ablation. All postoperative pathological results were positive for HMB45 and Melan-A. Follow-up results: 21 cases survived normally, with no tumor recurrence in the recent physical examination; two cases had tumor recurrence and they died two and three years after surgery, and one case was lost to follow-up. Conclusion: Hepatic PEComa more commonly occurs in middle-aged women, with no specific features for tumor markers and clinical manifestations. Some imaging findings are specific, so its features can be combined as a basis for diagnosis. Postoperative pathological examination results can confirm the diagnosis. Therefore, surgery remains the initial treatment plan. Microwave ablation and laparoscopic surgery are recommended as the preferred option because of shorter hospital stays and less trauma than open surgery.
