We report a case of a 46 year old female patient with nasal hemangiopericytoma. She complained of left nasal congestion, pus snot for 10 years, sometimes with left nasal bleeding. Physical examination: in the left nasal tract saw red soft neoplasm, roughness surface, easy bleeding when touched. Sinus CT shows: bilateral maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, sphenoid sinus and the left posterior nasal cavity lesions, considering inflammation with the formation of polyps, tumor not excluded. The left nasal cavity neoplasm biopsy shows: hemangioma of left nasal cavity. After admission in general anesthesia, we do transnasal endoscopic sinus openning operation and the left nasal cavity neoplasm resection. Postoperative pathological examination shows: the left nasal cavity hemangiopericytoma. Immunohistochemical showed: Vimentin(+), Smooth muscle actin(+), Desmin(-), endothelial cells CD31(-) and CD34(-). No postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy, no tumor recurrence. After one year of follow-up, the contact was lost.

Objective:To explore the clinico-pathological characteristics and risk factors affecting prognosis in elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective study was used to retrospectively analyze 2386 patients with gastric cancer undergoing radical surgery in Surgery Department of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 1 January 2012 to 1 January 2015.Patients aged 70 years and older were screened so as to analyze clinical characteristics and influencing factors for the prognosis.Results:A total of 2386 patients with gastric cancer were divided into the elderly group aged 70 years and older(342 of 2386 cases, 14.3%). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, number of concomitant diseases, NRS2002 score, PG-SGA score, tumor location, tumor diameter, histological type, Borrmann classification, tumor invasion depth staging(pT), lymph node metastasis staging(pN), the anatomic extent of tumor staging(TNM, pTNM), and Lauren classifications( P<0.05). The 981 of 2386 cases(41.4%)had postoperative complications, accompanied by 413 cases(17.3%)of surgery-related complications and 568 cases(24.0%)of non-surgery-related complications.A multivariate logistic analysis showed that the number of preoperative co-existing diseases ≥ 2 was an independent influencing factor for postoperative complications in elderly gastric cancer patients( HR=4.478, 95% CI: 1.121-7.918, P=0.006). The 5-year OS and DSS was 21.10% and 62.73% in the ≥70 years gastric cancer group, and was 54.1% and 70.0% in the <70 years gastric cancer group, respectively.The difference in the 5-year OS between the two groups was statistically significant( P<0.05), while the difference in the 5-year DSS between the two groups was not statistically significant( P>0.05). Multivariate analysis by the Cox proportional hazard model showed that the independent risk factors for the prognosis of elderly patients with gastric cancer included the low-undifferentiated histological type of the tumor( P=0.004), the depth of tumor invasion pT stage of pT4a-pT4b( P=0.007), lymph node metastasis( P=0.034), tumor pTNM stage ⅢA-ⅢC( P=0.002)and vascular tumor thrombus( P=0.034). Conclusions:Elderly patients with gastric cancer have many preoperative co-existing diseases, which increases the risk of postoperative non-surgical complications.Therefore, we should focus on the peri-operative management of their comorbid diseases so as to improve the safety and efficacy of surgery.The advanced age is not the independent risk factors for the prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate the use of serosa muscular layers circumferential incision combined with mucosal layer cutting and closure by laparoscopic or robotic surgery for gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors at difficult sites of the stomach.Methods:From Jul 2019 to Apr 2021, 18 gastric mesenchymal tumor patients undergoing serosa muscular layers circumferential incision combined with mucosal layer cutting and closure by laparoscopic or robotic surgery at the Department of Surgery, the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Results:All 18 patients had successful surgery, including 7 cases of robotic surgery, 11 cases of laparoscopic surgery, and there was no conversion to open surgery. Tumors were at the gastric in cardia, 8 cases at the gastric body and lesser curvature in 4 cases, and at the gastric antrum in 6 cases, respectively. Eleven cases were of endogenous and 7 cases were of dumbbell type. The average operation time was (99±29) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (10±5) ml, the first time taking food per mouth was (2.0±1.0) d, and the postoperative hospital stay was (4.9 ± 1.2) d. Pathology showed gastrointestinal stromal tumor in 11 cases, leiomyoma in 5 cases and schwannoma in 2 cases. All were with negative margins. The average tumor diameter was (4.7±1.4) cm. The median follow-up time was 16.5 months, and there was no sign of tumor recurrence or metastasis.Conclusion:The serosa muscular layers circumferential incision combined with mucosal layer cutting and closure technique in laparoscopic or robotic surgery is a safe and feasible procedure for treating gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumor at difficult sites of the stomach.

The coming out of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy gives exciting solution for diagnosis and even treatment of peripheral pulmonary nodules. It breaks the barriers of traditional bronchoscopy, and gives live visible imaging guidance for operators during biopsy of peripheral pulmonary nodules. The electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy system can intelligently recognize and reconstruct the bronchial tree of the patients, and generate visible data and virtual guidance for the operators. It can perceive real-time magnetic localization of the signal, so as to precisely guide the navigational or biopsy tools. This review introduced the artificial intelligence configuration of the electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy system based on the Veran system, and gave some improvement advices based on the defects of the system. In this way, we hope to promote the development and better clinical application of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy system.

Nowadays, the development of the medical instrument industry makes rapid changes in clinical practice. Hybridization of latest technology is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Especially, the trend of the integration of three-channel hybrid technology in diagnosis and treatment of early lung cancer has become increasingly obvious. This paper will focus on the technical advance of the three-channel multi- mirror robot and its application in the diagnosis and treatment of early lung cancer.

Increasing peripheral pulmonary nodules are detected given the growing adoption of chest CT screening for lung cancer. The invention of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscope provides a new diagnosis and treatment method for pulmonary nodules, which has been demonstrated to be feasible and safe, and the technique of microwave ablation through bronchus is gradually maturing. The one-stop diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules can be completed by the combination of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy and microwave ablation, which will help achieve local treatment through the natural cavity without trace.
