Objective To explore the application value of thromboelastography(TEG) in perioperative evaluation of patients with antiplatelet therapy-associated cerebral hemorrhage. We aimed to investigate whether platelet transfu-sion, compared with standard care, reduced bleeding in patients with antiplatelet therapy-associated cerebral hemor-rhage. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted in 30 patients (12 patients receiving platelet transfusion) with antiplatelet therapy-associated basal ganglia hemorrhage who underwent emergency surgery. TEG was used to evaluate the intraoperative bleeding, postoperative bleeding and transfusion treatment. Results The routine co-agulation test was in the normal range in the two groups. However, TEG showed that the platelet function was exces-sively inhibited in patients with antiplatelet therapy before spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage (Platelet inhibition rate>90%). There were significant differences in the intraoperative blood loss (t=-3.998, P=0.008), total transfusion volume (Z=-3.245, P=0.001), postoperative hematoma volume (t=-2.909, P=0.043) and lead volume (t=-8.790, P=0.041) between two groups (P<0.05). One case from platelet transfusion group, and 4 cases from no-platelet transfusion group re-ceived a second surgical operation. However, the difference was not statistical significant ( P=0.317). Conclusion TEG can effectively assess the preoperative coagulation status in the patients with spontaneous cerebral haemorrhage after antiplatelet therapy. Platelet transfusion can reduce intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, decrease blood transfu-sion in the patients with antiplatelet therapy-associated cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical effects of the " rectangle plus triangle flaps" methods to repair the post-burn pseudo anal stenosis.
Methods:
From Oct. 2014 to Jan. 2017, five cases of pseudo anal stenosis were hospitalized and the durations of their scar contraction were 0.5 to 2 years. Flaps were located: at 3 o′clock and 9 o′clock directions of anus with prone position. Flaps were designed as one rectangle flap plus two triangle flaps. Rectangle flap was located from the exit of the diverticulum (pedicle) to the anus (distal end). Triangle flaps were located between the anus and the distal end of the rectangle flap, perpendicular to the rectangle flap. Flap transfer: ① the rectangle flap was advanced to the anus direction and sutured with the incision edge of the triangle flap closer to the anus; ② the two triangle flaps were rotated by 90 degrees and transferred to the two longitudinal incisions of the rectangle flap.
Results:
This design could enlarge the diverticulum exit and shorten its distance to the anus. All flaps survived and were well-healed. The follow-ups at 0.5 to 2 years presented favorable clinical results. No flap contracture, recurrent stenosis, unobstructed defecation or cleaning convenience occurred.
Conclusions
The " rectangle plus triangle flaps" methods was an effective way to repair the post-burn pseudo anal stenosis, which could enlarge the diverticulum exit and relocate the anus by making use of the perianal scar tissue.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of holographic image navigation in urological laparoscopic and robotic surgery.Methods The data of patients were reviewed retrospectively for whom accepted holographic image navigation laparoscopic and robotic surgery from Jan.2019 to Dec.2019 in Beijing United Family Hospital and other 18 medical centers,including 78 cases of renal tumor,2 cases of bladder cancer,2 cases of adrenal gland tumor,1 cases of renal cyst,1 case of prostate cancer,1 case of sweat gland carcinoma with lymph node metastasis,1 case of pelvic metastasis after radical cystectomy.All the patients underwent operations.In the laparoscopic surgery group,there were 27 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of radical prostatectomy,2 cases of radical cystectomy and 2 cases of adrenalectomy.In the da Vinci robotic surgery group of 54 cases,there were 51 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection,1 case of retroperitoneal bilateral renal cyst deroofing and 1 case of resection of pelvic metastasis.There were 41 partial nephrectomy patients with available clinical data for statistic,with a median age of 53.5 years (range 24-76),including 26 males and 15 females.The median R.E.N.A.L score was 7.8 (range 4-11).Before the operation,the engineers established the holographic image based on the contrast CT images and reports.The surgeon applied the holographic image for preoperative planning.During the operation,the navigation was achieved by real time fusing holographic images with the laparoscopic surgery images in the screen.Results All the procedures had been complete uneventfully.The holographic images helped surgeon in understanding the visual three-dimension structure and relation of vessels supplying tumor or resection tissue,lymph nodes and nerves.By manipulating the holographic images extracorporeally,the fused image guide surgeons about location vessel,lymph node and other important structure and then facilitate the delicate dissection.For the 41 cases with available clinical data including 23 cases of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy and 18 cases of laparoscopic nephrectomy,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-225) min,the median warm ischemia time was 23 (range 14-60) min,the median blood loss was 80(range 5-1 200) ml.In the robotic surgery group,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-215)min,the median warm i schemia time was 21 (range 17-40)min,the median blood loss was 150(range 30-1 200)ml.In the laparoscopic surgery group,the median operation time was 160(range 80-225)min,the median warm ischemia time was 25 (range 14-60)min,the median blood loss was 50 (range 5-1 200) ml.All the patients had no adjacent organ injury during operation.There were 2 cases with Clavien Ⅱ complications.One required transfusion and the other one suffered hematoma post-operation.However,the tumors were located in the renal hilus for these 2 cases and the R.E.N.A.L scores were both 11.Conclusions Holographic image navigation can help location and recognize important anatomic structures during the surgical procedures..This technique will reduce the tissue injury,decrease the complications and improve the success rate of surgery.

Objective:
To understand the possible transmission route of a family cluster of COVID-19 in Zhengzhou and the potential infectivity of COVID-19 in incubation period, and provide scientific evidence for the timely control of infectious source and curb the spread of the epidemic.
Methods:
Epidemiological investigation was conducted for a family cluster of COVID-19 (8 cases) with descriptive epidemiological method, and respiratory tract samples of the cases were collected for the nucleic acid detection of 2019-nCoV by RT-PCR.
Results:
Two primary cases, which occurred on 31 January and 1 February, 2020, respectively, had a common exposure history in Wuhan. The other six family members had onsets on 30 January, 31 January, 1 February (three cases) and 3 February, 2020.
Conclusions
In this family cluster of COVID-19, six family members were infected through common family exposure to the 2 primary cases. Five secondary cases had onsets earlier than or on the same day as the primary cases, indicating that COVID-19 is contagious in incubation period, and the home isolation in the early phase of the epidemic might lead to the risk of family cluster of COVID-19.
