Objective To introduce a new spinal surgery navigation system based on structured light scanning(structured light navigation system,SLNS),and to compare accuracy of pedicle screw placement using SLNS,CT based navigation system and free hand technique.Methods Thirty-two calf vertebral pedicles,40 and 32 were placed with pedicle screws using SLNS,CT navigation system,and free hand technique,respectively.The pedicle breakage ratio,transverse section angle (TSA),sagittal section angle (SSA),screw offset deviation of each screw were detected according to CT images.Results The pedicle breakage ratio of pedicle screws in SLNS group,CT navigation group and free hand group were 6%(2./32),5%(2/40),25%(8/32),respectively.The difference between each of the two navigation groups and free hand group were statistically significant regarding frequency of screw misplacement.The difference between the two navigation systems was not obvious.The average SSA error and TSA error in SLNS group were 2.58°±2.74° and 4.26°±5.20°.For CT navigation group,they were 2.95°±2.61° and 3.13°±-2.75°.There was no statistical difference between the two navigation methods for the SSA or TSA error.There was no statistical difference in offset deviation among SLNS group,CT navigation group and free hand group.Conclusion The SLNS is a new and practical navigation system,which has similar accuracy with CT navigation system.

Objective To discuss the clinical significance of serum neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin(NGAL)detection in the diagnosis of contrast induced nephropathy .Methods A total of 299 inpatients with contrast medium in department of inten‐sive care unit(ICU) ,department of cardiovascular disease ,department of urology from Guangdong Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled ,and the fasting blood glucose and lipids were detected .Sera were collected before examination of contrast medium and 1 ,2 and 6 d after examination of contrast medium respectively .Serum creatinine(SCr)and cystatin C(CysC) were detected ,the concentration of NGAL was determined .CIN was defined as of increased by 44 μmol/L or 25% from baseline in SCr within 24-48 h .The NGAL detection variation tendency was analyzed in different time point .Results In 299 cases ,CIN oc‐curred in 28 patients ,the incidence rate was 9 .36% .The diabetes patients in the incidence of CIN was 16 .21% (12/74) ,no inci‐dence of diabetic patients was 7 .11% (16/225) .When compared with that of before contrast ,CIN in serum of patients with Cr and CysC coronary angiography in 2 d significantly increased after contrast medium ,returned to the level before angiography on 6 d .But the serum NGAL in angiography 1 d after it was significantly increased (P<0 .05) ,statistically significant differences compared with pre contrast ,and was still at a high level on sixth day .Conclusion Prediction of CIN level of serum NGAL in contrast after 1 d could be a good predictor for CIN ,and the prediction time is earlier than the serum levels of Cr and CysC .The level of serum NGAL can be used for early diagnosis of CIN .

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a method for measuring cerebral artery blood flow velocity, which has the advantages of low cost, non-invasive, high temporal resolution. Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) is to study the instantaneous change of cerebral blood flow (CBF) at the moment of arterial blood pressure or intracranial pressure change, that is, the ability to recover CBF in the face of sudden change of perfusion pressure. After the onset of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), effective dCA can maintain the stability of cerebral hemodynamics and avoid excessive or insufficient perfusion at the injured site. Therefore, it is of great significance to evaluate dCA in patients with AIS. However, at present, there is no recognized optimal evaluation method for dCA. This article mainly summarizes the advantages of TCD in evaluating dCA compared with other methods and the application of TCD combined with transfer function analysis (TFA) in evaluating dCA in AIS.

Objective:To assess the age-related differences in the management strategies and outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) under the chest pain center model.Methods:Clinical data of 2 833 patients with ACS were enrolled in the retrospective observational registry between January 2017 and June 2019 at 11 hospitals with chest pain centers in Chengdu. The patients were divided into four groups according to their ages: < 55 years old group ( n = 569), 55-64 years old group ( n = 556), 65-74 years old group ( n = 804), ≥ 75 years old group ( n = 904). The collected data included the patients' demographic characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, medical history, symptoms and signs of onset, experimental examination, types of ACS and the time from the symptom to the hospital (S-to-D), etc., and the clinical characteristics, management strategies, all-cause mortality in the hospital, and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) within 1 year after discharge were compared. The primary end point was the clinical outcome of ACS patients in different age groups, including all-cause deaths in the hospital and the incidence of MACCE within 1 year after discharge. The secondary end point was the proportion of ACS patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in different age groups. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of all-cause deaths in ACS patients. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to express the incidence of MACCE within 1 year after discharge in different age groups. Multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the incidence of MACCE within 1 year after discharge of ACS patients. Results:As age increased, the proportion of male patients gradually decreased, and the percentages of male patients aged < 55 years old, 55-64 years old, 65-74 years old, and ≥ 75 years old were 87.2% (496/569), 77.0% (428/556), 66.4% (534/804), and 60.1% (543/904), respectively; and ACS patients combined with hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke history were more common [the percentages of patients with hypertension aged < 55 years old, 55-64 years old, 65-74 years old, ≥ 75 years old were 41.3% (235/569), 52.2% (290/556), 59.7% (480/804), and 66.9% (605/904); the percentages of diabetes were 18.6% (106/569), 25.5% (142/556), 27.0% (217/804), and 28.2% (255/904); the percentages of coronary heart disease were 10.1% (57/564), 13.9% (77/555), 17.6% (141/803), and 23.7% (213/899); the percentages of stroke were 0.7% (4/564), 4.0% (22/552), 4.5% (36/801), and 8.6% (77/894)]. But the percentages of patients with a history of active smoking, typical chest pain/chest tightness and dyslipidemia were significantly reduced [the percentages of smoking history were 60.2% (340/565), 48.0% (266/554), 33.7% (270/801), and 21.7% (195/899), typical chest pain/chest tightness were 96.9% (536/553), 96.4% (516/535), 91.8% (716/780), 90.2% (776/860); the percentages of dyslipidemia were 11.2% (63/565), 9.2% (51/553), 5.7% (46/802), and 4.9% (44/896)], the time of S-to-D was significantly prolonged [minutes: 176.0 (73.5, 557.0), 194.5 (89.3, 682.3), 221.0 (98.8, 940.5), and 270.0 (115.0, 867.0)], hemoglobin (Hb) level was significantly reduced(g/L: 145.44±17.43, 135.95±19.25, 129.75±19.03, 122.19±20.55), and the incidence of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) increased significantly [18.6% (106/569), 20.5% (114/556), 26.6% (214/804), 26.5% (240/904)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The proportion of Killip grade Ⅲ -Ⅳ were the highest in patients aged ≥ 75 years old, 9.0% and 12.6%, respectively. Compared with the groups aged < 55 years old, 55-64 years old, and 65-74 years old, the proportion of patients aged ≥ 75 years old who underwent PCI was the lowest, and the all-cause mortality in the hospital and the incidence of 1-year MACCE of patients underwent PCI were significantly lower than those of patients underwent conservative treatment [6.0% (28/463) vs. 10.4% (45/434), 14.6% (43/294) vs. 24.3 % (55/226), both P < 0.05]. As age increased, the hospital all-cause mortality and the 1-year MACCE incidence increased (all-cause mortality rates in < 55 years old, 55-64 years old, 65-74 years old, ≥ 75 years old groups were 0.9%, 2.2%, 5.5%, 8.3%, and the 1-year MACCE incidences were 5.0%, 6.7%, 13.9%, 18.7%, both P < 0.01). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, cardiogenic shock, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the number of vascular disease and underwent PCI were the independent risk factors of all-cause mortality [the odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were 1.644 (1.356-1.993), 11.794 (7.469-18.621), 2.449 (1.419-4.227), 1.334 (1.096-1.624), 0.391 (0.247-0.619), all P < 0.001]. Cox regression analysis showed that age, STEMI, the number of vascular disease and underwent PCI were independent risk factors of the occurrence of MACCE within 1 year after discharge [hazard ratio ( HR) and 95% CI were 1.354 (1.205-1.521), 1.387 (1.003-1.916), 1.314 (1.155-1.495), 0.547 (0.402-0.745), all P < 0.05]. Conclusions:In the chest pain center model, compared with other age of ACS patients, the proportion of NSTEMI in elderly patients group aged ≥ 75 years old was higher, the proportion of PCI was lower, and the clinical outcome was worse. However, the prognosis of elderly patients receiving PCI treatment was better than the patients receiving conservative treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of cancer tissue specimen delivery through a preventive ostomy incision during laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer .Methods:A total of 155 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical rectal cancer combined with prophylactic ileostomy at Peking University Third Hospital from Oct 2016 to Sep 2021 were retrospectively divided into two groups according to where the specimens were delivered through prophylactic colostomy incision (46 cases) or through newly made suprapubic incision (109 cases).Results:The by prophylactic colostomy incision delivery group had shorter surgery time [(243±66) min vs. (281±73) min, t=3.003, P<0.01] and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.5±2.2) d vs. (8.8±4.3）d， t=2.516， P<0.05], while there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion, postoperative first time of flatus, surgery-related complications and ostomy-related complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Though the ostomy size in the prevention colostomy group was larger ( P<0.01), but there were no significant differences in the ostomy related complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer with specimen delivery through a preventive ostomy incision is of more aesthetic advantages without causing higher postoperative complications.

Insomnia is the second most common psychiatric disorder in clinical practice, and more than one-third of adults may experience different forms of insomnia during their lifetime, but the root causes behind insomnia need further clarification. Early evidences from twins and family studies had shown that insomnia can be attributed to genetics. In recent years, with the rapid development of gene sequencing technology, Nature Genetics had published several consecutive articles focusing on insomnia and genes, confirming that genetic factors played an important role in the occurrence and development of insomnia. Therefore, the recent research progresses on insomnia and circadian rhythm, cytokines, neurotransmitters, and other related genes were summarized in this review, which could help to understand the pathogenesis of insomnia and develop precise treatment strategies.

Lung transplantation is the only effective therapeutic option for end-stage lung diseases, and postoperative rejection is the main factor affecting clinical prognosis of the recipients. Imaging examination can be utilized as a noninvasive tool to assist other examinations in monitoring rejection after lung transplantation. At present, multiple imaging examination methods have been reported. The advantages and disadvantages of various imaging examinations have been clarified, which may promote early diagnosis of rejection, deliver timely treatment for lung transplant recipients and improve the quality of life and clinical prognosis. In this article, the advantages, disadvantages and research progress upon different imaging examinations for rejection after lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for identifying the optimal noninvasive examination approach for rejection after lung transplantation and enhance the long-term survival of the recipients.

Objective To summarize and analyze the key procedures of the modified rat model of orthotopic left lung transplantation, aiming to provide more experience for the establishment of rat models of lung transplantation. Methods Two surgeons (A and B) performed complete transplantation in consecutive 15 rat models, and every 5 surgeries were divided into 1 practice stage. The operating time of each transplantation procedure was recorded. The differences of overall success rate and 1-week survival rate were calculated among different practice stages. The learning curve was delineated by the cumulative sum method. Results For surgeons A and B, the number of the first successful transplantation was the 5th and 6th time, the overall success rates of transplantation were 80% and 87% respectively, and the 1-week survival rates of rats both were 92%. Along with the increasing number of surgeries, the entire cardiopulmonary procurement, cannula preparation, cold ischemia, warm ischemia, transplantation and total operation time by two surgeons showed a significantly downward trend (all P < 0.05). For surgeons A and B, 3 and 2 rats died of heart failure due to overdose anesthesia, and 1 rat died of vein distortion at postoperative 1 d and 1 died of atelectasis at postoperative 7 d, respectively. The goodness of fit (R²) of cumulative sum method was 0.992 8 and 0.976 6. The turning point of learning curve was achieved in the 7th and 8th transplantation for surgeons A and B. Conclusions The modified rat model of orthotopic left lung transplantation yields high operability and repeatability both theoretically and technologically, and has multiple advantages of short learning curve, short operation time, high survival rate of the recipients and few complications, which is worthy of application in the basic research of lung transplantation.
