Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficiency of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) via extraperitoneal PORT-free single incision approach.Methods:The data of 33 patients with prostate cancer underwent the extraperitoneal PORT-free single incision RARP from November 2020 to January 2021 in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital was retrospectively reviewed. The average age was 66.7 (58-78) years, the median PSA was 20.77 (2.89, 56.44) ng/m, and the mean Gleason score was 7.0 (6.0-9.0). The mean prostate volume was 48.4 (25.0-220.0) ml. Clinical stage: 32 cases was in cT 2a-2cN 0M 0, 1 case in cT 3aN 0M 0. 16 cases had a history of operation. All 33 operations were performed by the same operator. All operations were performed by extraperitoneal PORT-free single-incision approach. The surgical condition, postoperative complication, pathology, and follow-up results were observed. Results:In this study, 33 operations were successfully completed without conversion to open or additional single hole channel instruments. The average operation time was 61.3 (38.0-120.0) min, with the mean intraoperative bleeding volume of 72.2 (45.0-220.0) ml and the mean bladder neck urethral anastomosis time of 11.7 (8.5-15.7) min. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 7.9 (6.0-15.0) d, the mean postoperative indwelling time of urinary catheter was 6.8 (6.0-14.0) d, and the mean postoperative evacuation time was 1.0 (0.5-3.0) d. The average incision length was 5.2 (4.6-5.8) cm. There was no obvious complications. The postoperative pathological stage: 21 cases were in < pT 3a, 12 cases were in ≥ pT 3a, and 6 cases (18.8%) had positive resection margin. 29 cases (88.9%) acquired satisfactory urinary continence after operation, and the frequency of urinary pad use was ≤ 1 tablet/day. Conclusions:The extraperitoneal single-incision RARP surgical channel without PORT is safe and feasible with a satisfying cosmetic effect, which saves costs and requires less specific channel device. Simultaneously, the new approach has strong replicability, short-term tumor control and urinary control effect with rapid postoperative recovery. However, the sample size of this study is relatively small, which needs further research and demonstration

Objective:To summarize the thoracic and abdominal CT presentations after endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR) and to analyze its significance in the evaluation and management of postoperative complications.Methods:Data of 82 patients who underwent gastrointestinal EFR at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University and received a chest and/or abdominal CT within 1 week from September 2016 to September 2021 were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into the intervention group ( n=38) and the control group ( n=44) according to the presence or absence of special postoperative interventions or prolonged hospital stays. The differences in the incidence of abnormal CT presentations between the two groups were analyzed. Risk factors for abnormal CT presentation were explored by multifactorial analysis. Results:Among the 82 patients, the main CT presentations were pneumoperitoneum in 51 patients (62.2%), abdominal and pelvic effusion in 30 patients (36.6%), pneumothorax in 5 (6.1%), pleural effusion in 43 (52.4%), and pulmonary inflammation in 16 (19.5%). The incidence of pelvic and abdominal effusions ( W=637.48, P=0.031) and pleural effusions ( W=622.06, P=0.031) in CT was higher in the intervention group than that in the control group. Age was an independent risk factor for air-related complications after EFR (>60 years old VS ≤60 years old: OR=0.17, 95% CI: 0.05-0.56, P=0.002). Conclusion:CT presentations of pelvic and abdominal effusion and pleural effusion after EFR is of great significance in suggesting complications, while patients with other CT presentations often do not require special intervention or prolonged hospital stay. Postoperative CT in elderly patients is less likely to detect air-related complications.

Objective : To investigate the effect and mechanism of celecoxib on retinal vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in rats with diabetic retinopathy. Methods : Forty - five SD rats were divided into normal control group (NC) , diabetic retinopathy group (DR) , celecoxib intervention diabetic retinopathy group ( DR + C) . The diabetic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of 1% STZ. After one month , celecoxib (50 mg/kg) was given intragastric administration (1/day) in the DR + C group. Two months later, serum total cholesterol (TC) and insulin were detected. The histopathological changes of the retina were observed. The expression of junctional adhesion molecule⁃like protein (JAML) , VEGF and their signal pathway proteins and the distributions of interleukin⁃10 (IL⁃10) , vascular cell adhesion molecules⁃1(VCAM⁃1) were detected by Western blot. HUVEC cells were divided into normal glucose group (NG) , high glucose group (HG) and high glucose plus celecoxib group (HG + C) to detect the expression of the above proteins. Results : Compared with DR , retina in DR + C group was thinner. The retina in the DR + C group was thicker than that in the NC group. The levels of retinal JAML ,phosphatidylinositol kinase3(PI3K), phosphorylphosphatidylinositol kinase3(P⁃PI3K) , hypoxia⁃inducible factor1 ⁃α (HIF1 ⁃α ) , and VEGF in DR + C group were lower than those in DR group ,while higher than those in NC group. The expression of retinal IL⁃10 and VCAM⁃1 decreased . The content of TC in DR + C and DR group was higher than those in NC group (P < 0. 01) , while the content of insulin in DR + C and DR group was lower than thlse in NC group (P < 0. 001) . Compared with HG group , the expressions of JAML , PI3K , P ⁃PI3K , HIF1 ⁃α , VEGF in HG + C group decreased , but was higher than those in NG group. There was no significant difference in PI3K among the three groups. Conclusion Celecoxib can decrease the expression of VEGF , IL⁃10 , VCAM⁃1 in retina of DR rats , which may be related to the PI3K/HIF1 ⁃α signaling pathway mediated by JAML.
