Objective To explore the application of mini-laparoscopy in the diagnosis and management of nonpalpable undescended testis in children.Methods 38 cases of impalpabal testes(46 testicular) had been operated by mini-laparoscopy in children with cryptorchidism.Results 38 children with nonpalpable undescended testis (46 testicular) had been operated by mini-laparoscope.Results After laparoscopic exploration,inguinal probe and postoperative pathology,it had been confirmed that 2 testicular were absent,34 testicular were found in high inguinal location,10 testicular were located in intraperitoneal cavity.In addition to the absent testicular,the rest had been performed with mini-laparoscope:one period descent fixation 41 testes,Fowler-Stephens (F-S) installment orchiopexy three testes.Follow-up with side testicular atrophy 2,including one period orchiopexy a testis,F-S installment fixation a testicular; Testicular rebound 1,who had been operated with one phase of testicular descent fixtion.Conclusion For inguinal failed to find the testicular,children with cryptorchidism should be done by laparoscopy because of its positioning accuracy,and most children can do a period drop fixed,but for those really intraperitoneal more exalted person,stage surgery should be needed.Its overall treatment effect is satisfactory and is worth popularizing.

Objective To assess the quality of international studies on using aldosterone to renin activity ratio (ARR) to diagnose primary aldesteronism. Methods We searched the Cachrane Library (1962-2007.12), PubMed(1970-2007.12) ,VIP(1989-2007.12) ,Wan Fang database(1982-2007.12) ,CBMdisc(1978 -2007.12) systematically. Language was limited to Chinese and English. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies(QUADAS) was used to assess the quality of induced diagnostic studies by two reviewers inde-pendently. Results Fourteen studies were included and assessed. We found that most of the studies were not met with QUADAS items. Nine studies didn't chose correct cases that included miscellaneous cases and confused ca-ses. Eight studies didn't describe internalized or exclusive references clearly. The gold standard in three studies could not discriminate whether the diagnosis of patients was confirmed or not. Thirteen studies did not use blind trial to compare the diagnostic test and the gold standard. Conclusions The studies using ARR to diagnose pri-mary aldesteronism should be improved in patients selection, the gold standard selection, comparison of blind trial and bias control.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the methods of the larygeal recurrent nerve dissection in different and difficult thyroid surgery, so as to minimize damage and improve the safety of the operation. METHOD: The process and methods in different laryngeal recurrent nerve dissection about 52 hospitalized patients from 2010 to 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. These cases include large nodular goiter, nodular goiter behind the sternum or located in the lower pole of the thyroid gland, thyroid cancer, tumors of parathyroid gland, etc. We studied the conditions of lesions involving the laryngeal recurrent nerve and the defensive measures to protect the nerve. RESULT: The laryngeal recurrent nerve was dissected successfully in 50 cases, except 2 cases whose laryngeal recurrent nerve were violated by thyroid cancer. CONCLUSION When we dissect the laryngeal recurrent nerves in different and difficult thyroid, the glands and tumors were mostly needed to be freed and turned inward and forward. After that, the laryngeal recurrent nerves can be dissected successfully with the markers of tracheoesophageal groove, inferior thyroid artery and/or angle under the thyroid cartilage.

Circular RNA (CircRNA) is an endogenous closed circular noncoding RNA widely existing in organisms. It has a variety of biological functions and the characteristics of stable structure, high conservation, tissue and developmental stage specificity. Studies have confirmed that CircRNA plays an important role in regulating tumor gene expression, including participating in the occurrence, development and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). It has the potential to become a new biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of OSCC, and can be used as a potential target for the treatment of OSCC. This paper reviews the biological characteristics of CircRNA and its latest research status in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of OSCC.

The recording and analysis of activities of calcium signals in neurons is of critical importance in the field of neuroscience.Over the past three decades,various fluorescent calcium imaging techniques not only have been used in the imaging study of functional activities of neuronal communities,but also can be combined with specific markers to record the functional activities of specific types of neuronal communities.To analyze neural activities at the cellular level,a series of preprocessing such as motion correction,cell body recognition,calcium signal extraction and peak deconvolution is required for the collected video.However,current methods for manual preprocessing are time-consuming and laborious,so computer automatic analysis technology is urgently needed to quickly repair the jitter in the video,identify the position and outline of a single cell,extract its activity trajectory and infer the action potential peak.In this paper,the methods of calcium imaging data processing used in recent years are summarized,and the future developments are predicted.

Objective To build a neural network based on the Unet infrastructure for recognition and segmentation of two-dimensional calcium imaging fluorescence images.Methods The in vivo miniaturized two-photon microscope(mTPM)was used for brain calcium imaging in freely moving mice.The imaging data was motion corrected using the NoRMCorre algorithm and processed using ImageJ software to obtain the original images after correction,and the labels were produced using the Labelme software.The neural network HDCGUnet was built using the original images and labels for training,and optimized to improve the model structure according to the training effect.Finally,the evaluation indexes were selected and compared with those of other models to verify the utility of this model.Results The HDCGUnet model,which was collected and made on our own,performed best in the two-photon calcium imaging dataset compared to other models,and performed well on the BBBC dataset either.Conclusion The HDCGUnet model provides a novel alternative for the recognition and segmentation of two-photon calcium imaging images.

Objective To compare the curative effect of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)plus microwave ablation (MWA) with that of pure TACE in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) larger than 5 cm in diameter.Methods The clinical data of 208 patients with HCC,who were admitted to authors' hospital to receive treatment during the period from June 2014 to December 2015,were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into combination group (n=40,treated with TACE+MWA) and TACE group (n=168,treated with TACE only).By using 1 ∶ 1 pairing,the curative results of the two groups were analyzed.The survival of patient was taken as the primary observation index,and both the one-month solidtumor response value determined with modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST)and the reduction in AFP level were the secondary observation indexes.Results A total of 31 pairings were accomplished.The baseline data of the paired groups were comparable.The results indicated that half-,one-,1.5-,2-and 2.5-year survival rates in the combination group were 96.8％,90.3％,86.8％,82.5％ and 70.7％ respectively,which were significantly better than those of 77.4％,61.3％,53.6％,48.2％ and 24.1％ respectively in the TACE group (P=0.011).The one-month tumor-control rate and the reduction degree in AFP level of the combination group were better than those of the TACE group.No severe complications occurred in both groups.Conclusion For the treatment of HCC that is larger than 5 cm in diameter,TACE combined with MWA is superior to pure TACE in increasing survival rate as well as in improving tumor-control rate.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of early delayed recovery after right ventricular-extrapulmonary arterial(RV-PA)conduit reconstruction.Methods:From 2017 to 2021, the children with RV-PA conduit reconstruction, who were treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The demographic data and peri-operative clinical data of the patients were collected for statistical analysis.Results:Fifty-five patients were included in the study.The patients were sequenced by the length of ICU stay.The time at the 75th percentile was defined as the critical value for grouping.According to the ICU stay time of the children, they were divided into normal recovery group(ICU stay ≤7 days, n=40)and delayed recovery group(ICU stay>7 days, n=15).The mechanical ventilator time in the whole group was 24(0, 1 408)h, and the ICU stay time was 4(1, 67)d.Six cases required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, and two cases died.In the multivariate Logistic regression analysis of two groups, long cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) time( OR=1.034, 95% CI 1.009-1.061, P=0.009)and poor right ventricular function( OR=9.536, 95% CI 1.010-90.037, P=0.049)were independent risk factors for early delayed recovery. Conclusion:The risk of RV-PA conduit reconstruction is high.The proportion of ECMO support is increased.The mortality rate is higher.Right heart dysfunction and prolonged CPB time are risk factors for delayed postoperative recovery.
