Objective:To analyze the risk factors of intrauterine adhesions in patients after hysteroscopic surgery for subumcosal myoma of uterus, and to construct and evaluate a nomogram prediction model.Methods:The clinical data of 322 patients underwent hysteroscopic surgery for subumcosal myoma of uterus in Dongguan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were collected. The univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of intrauterine adhesions, according to the analysis results, R software was used to construct a nomogram prediction model that affected the occurrence of intrauterine adhesions after hysteroscopic surgery for subumcosal myoma of uterus, and the H-L fit curve and the area under the curve were used to evaluate the effectiveness and discrimination of the model.Results:Through a 1-year follow-up, it was found that 47 patients had intrauterine adhesions (adhesions group), accounting for 14.60%; another 275 patients was enrolled in non-adhesions group. The results of univariate analysis showed that combined pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy times, history of curettage, combined uterine fibroids, and serumtransforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 level were risk factors that affected the occurrence of intrauterine adhesions ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum TGF-β1 level, pelvic inflammatory disease, history of curettage and uterine fibroids were independent risk factors that affected the occurrence of intrauterine adhesions ( P<0.05). The nomogram prediction model was established with the results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and the discrimination of the nomogram model was evaluated, the results showed that the area under the curve was 0.854, and the sensitivity and specificity were 91.50% and 70.50%, respectively. The validity of the model (H-L fit curve) was evaluated and the results showed that χ2 = 7.12, P = 0.413. Conclusions:Serum TGF-β1 level, combined with pelvic inflammatory disease, history of curettage, combined with uterine fibroids are independent risk factors that affect the occurrence of uterine adhesions after hysteroscopic surgery for subumcosal myoma of uterus. The constructed nomogram prediction model has relatively good effectiveness and discrimination. It can be used as an effective predictive tool for early clinical intervention.

Objective:To investigate the effect of everting resection natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) on postoperative function in patients with colorectal cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 78 patients with colorectal cancer treated in Chongqing Bishan District People's Hospital from June 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the selected surgical methods, they were divided into the study group (45 cases) and the control group (33 cases). The control group underwent traditional laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer, and the study group underwent everting resection NOSES. Perioperative indicators such as intraoperative bleeding, operation time, postoperative exhaust time and hospitalization time were observed in the two groups. Anal function indicators [anal constriction pressure, fecal incontinence severity score (Wexner score)], coagulation function indicators [activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT)], the levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP)] and pain factors [nerve growth factor (NGF), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), neuropeptide Y (NPY)] before and after operation were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in intraoperative bleeding and operation time between the two groups ( t values were 1.30 and 0.56, both P > 0.05); the postoperative exhaust time and hospitalization time of the study group were shorter than those of the control group ( t values were 26.88 and 7.42, both P < 0.05). At 3 months after operation, the anal constriction pressure in the two groups was lower than that before operation [study group: (177±10) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (184±10) mmHg, t = 3.22, P < 0.001; control group: (178±10) mmHg vs. (184±10) mmHg, t = 2.36, P = 0.020]; the Wexner score was higher than that before operation [study group: (9.0±1.2) points vs. (7.9±1.2) points, t = 4.26, P < 0.001; control group: (10.3±1.2) points vs. (7.9±1.2) points, t = 7.80, P < 0.001], and the Wexner score in the study group was lower than that in the control group ( t = 4.57, P < 0.001). At 1 day after operation, APTT and PT in the two groups were shorter than those before operation (all P < 0.05), and APTT and PT in the study group were shorter than those in the control group [APTT: (26.2±2.2) s vs. (28.3±2.2) s, t = 4.23, P < 0.001; PT: (9.34±0.17) s vs.(11.03±0.41) s, t = 24.93, P < 0.001]. At 1 day after operation, the levels of IL-6 and CRP in the two groups were higher than those before operation (all P < 0.05); the levels of IL-6 and CRP in the study group were lower than those in the control group [IL-6: (8.6± 2.2) ng/L vs. (17.2±3.1) ng/L, t = 14.26, P < 0.001; CRP: (2.16±0.22) mg/L vs. (2.99±0.24) mg/L, t = 15.84, P < 0.001]. At 1 day after operation, the levels of NGF, PGE2 and NPY in the two groups were higher than those before operation (all P < 0.05), and the levels of NGF, PGE2 and NPY in the study group were lower than those in the control group [NGF: (302±7) pg/ml vs. (319±8) pg/ml, t = 9.76, P < 0.001; PGE2: (189±4) ng/L vs. (196±5) ng/L, t = 6.56, P < 0.001; NPY: (164±10) ng/L vs. (177±11) ng/L, t = 5.36, P < 0.001]. Conclusions:Everting resection NOSES can effectively shorten the postoperative exhaust time and hospitalization time of patients with colorectal cancer, have less impact on coagulation function and anal function, reduce the inflammatory reaction and the level of pain factors.

Objective:To compare the early and mid-term results of hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) and minimally invasive multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG) in coronary artery disease patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction and non diabetes mellitus, and to explore the indication of HCR and MICS-CABG.Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis of HCR and MICS-CABG cases with preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction less than 0.40, and without diabetes mellitus were conducted in Xijing Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019. 36 cases in HCR group and 17 cases in MICS group were included in this study. For HCR procedure, minimally invasive left internal mammary artery(LIMA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) bypass surgery were performed, and followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to treat non LAD lesion 1 to 4 weeks later. MICS-CABG procedure was performed through left anterior small thoracotomy minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting for multiple diseased vessels.Results:The preoperative SYNTAX score in MICS group was significantly higher than that in HCR group ( P<0.05). There was no perioperative death in both groups. Troponin I, postoperative drainage volume, blood transfusion volume and ventilator ventilation time in MICS group were significantly higher than those in HCR group ( P<0.05). After 12 months follow-up, no patient died in both groups. Furthermore, all LIMA grafts were patency. The stenosis rate of drug-eluting stents in HCR group was similar to that of great saphenous vein grafts in MICS group. LVEF and left ventricular end diastolic diameter of both groups were significantly improved 12 months after operation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:HCR and MICS-CABG are minimally invasive and safe treatment for multivessel coronary artery disease patients with low ejection fraction and non diabetese mellitus. The early and mid-term therapeutic effects are satisfactory. If coronary artery lesions other than LAD are suitable for PCI, HCR should be the preferred treatment.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and prognosis between fluorescent laparoscopic and conventional laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods:A total of 114 colorectal cancer patients in Bishan District People's Hospital of Chongqing from June 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into two groups according to the diagnosis and treatment time. Forty-four patients receiving treatment from June 2019 to February 2020 were enrolled as group A, and 70 patients receiving treatment from March 2020 to January 2021 were set as group B. Patients in group A received fluorescent laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer, and patients in group B received conventional laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, metastatic lymph node clearance rate, clinical efficacy (the overall response rate was calculated as complete remission + partial remission), postoperative complication rate and recurrence rate within 1 year were compared between the two groups.Results:The clearance rate of metastatic lymph nodes was 86.95% (40/46) in group A, which was higher than 72.22% (52/72) in group B, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 3.55, P = 0.049). There were no statistical differences in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The overall response rate was 86.36% (38/44) in group A, which was higher than 74.28% (52/70) in group B, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 5.03, P = 0.024). The incidence of complications in group A was 9.09% (4/44), which was not significantly different from that in group B (11.42%,8/70) ( χ2 = 0.16, P = 0.692). The recurrence rate within 1 year of group A was 11.36% (5/44), which was lower than that of group B (24.42%, 15/70), but the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 1.89, P = 0.169). Conclusions:Compared with conventional laparoscopy, fluorescent laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer has better clinical efficacy, higher clearance rate of metastatic lymph nodes, and does not increase the incidence of postoperative metastasis and complications.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect, safety and effectiveness of multiple valvular surgery through right anterolateral intercostal thoracotomy, as well as the mid-term follow-up results and surgeon's learning curve. Methods The clinical data of 154 patients with multiple valvular disease were performed minimally invasive cardiac surgery in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, from 2015 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 103 males and 51 females, aged 23-68 years. Closed cardiopulmonary bypass was established through femoral artery and femoral vein, and the thoracic cavity was entered through a 6 cm transverse incision in the fourth intercostal space on the right side of sternum. Baseline and perioperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes were reviewed. Results There was no perioperative death. The average cardiopulmonary bypass time was 159.3±39.4 min, and the aortic clamping time was 102.3±20.3 min. One patient underwent thoracotomy during the operation, and two patients underwent second thoracotomy for hemostasis. During the follow-up period of 10-55 months, 1 patient died, 2 patients developed mild perivalvular regurgitation, 6 patients developed moderate tricuspid regurgitation, and no serious cardiovascular events occurred in the rest of the patients. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that multiple valvular surgery through right anterolateral intercostal thoracotomy is safe, and in an acceptable risk of complication. The early and middle follow-up results are satisfactory. The minimally invasive cardiac surgery can also meet the requirements of cosmetology, and is conducive to the recovery of patients' mental and physical health. This method is worthy of application in medical centers with rich experience in routine cardiac surgery.
