Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous stripping combined with gold radiofrequency dot matrix microneedles in the treatment of atrophic acne scar.Methods:A total of 122 patients with atrophic acne scar in Dongying People′s Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were prospectively included and divided into two groups by random number table method: Observation group, 61 patients, including 37 males and 24 females, aged 20-43 (31.5±4.7) years, received subcutaneous stripping combined with gold radiofrequency dot matrix microneedles; Control group, 61 patients, including 33 males and 28 females, aged 22-44 (32.6±4.5) years, were treated with subcutaneous dissection. Patients in both groups were treated once every 4 weeks for a total of 3 times. The total effective rate, skin barrier function, wound recovery time, scar condition and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.4% (57/61), which was higher than that of the control group [75.4% (46/61), P=0.005]. After treatment, the corneum protein content, lactate stimulation test score, skin erythema (a value), and transdermal water loss (TEWL) of the observation group were (29.52±3.22) μg, (1.72±0.18) min, 15.10±2.21, and (18.31±3.35) g/(h·m 2), respectively. They were lower than those (35.24±4.17) μg, (2.75±0.24) min, 19.14±2.57, and (21.23±4.52) g/(h·m 2) in the control group (all P<0.001). The wound healing time, shedding time and scab time in the observation group were (3.42±0.67), (6.57±1.21) and (1.73±0.32) d, respectively, which were shorter than those (5.31±0.99), (8.26±1.48) and (2.85±0.47) d in the control group (all P<0.001). The acne scar clinical score scale (ECCA) and Vancouver scar scale (VSS) scores in the observation group were (38.10±5.29) and (5.23±0.82) points, respectively, which were lower than those (43.65±6.44) and (6.34±0.97) points in the control group (all P<0.001). The incidence of adverse reactions was 11.5% (7/61) in the observation group and 8.2% (5/61) in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.540). Conclusion:Subcutaneous stripping combined with gold radiofrequency dot matrix microneedles is effective in the treatment of atrophic acne scars, which can improve skin barrier function, shorten wound recovery time, and improve scar symptoms with good safety.

Objective:To compare the value of Caprini, Padua and Autar risk assessment models in the risk assessment of venous thromboembolism in hospitalized stroke patients.Methods:A retrospective case-control study were used to collect hospitalized stroke patients in the neurology department of Xiangya Hospital from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020. 75 patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) were VTE group and 75 patients without VTE were control group. The risk of thrombosis was assessed by Caprini risk assessment model, Padua risk assessment model and Autar risk assessment model respectively. The predictive value of each model on the risk of VTE formation in stroke patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC).Results:The areas under the curve of Caprini, Padua and Autar risk assessment models for predicting the risk of VTE formation in stroke patients were 0.768±0.039, 0.746±0.040 and 0.710±0.042 respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 81.3%, 61.3%, 71.3%(Caprini), 72.0%, 72.0%, 72.0%(Padua), 66.7%, 68.0% and 67.3%(Autar) respectively. There was no significant difference in the prediction value of the three models on the formation risk of stroke VTE (all P>0.05). The technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was used to comprehensively evaluate the AUC, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the three risk assessment models. Padua risk assessment model was the best, followed by Caprini risk assessment model and Autar risk assessment model. Conclusions:The Caprini, Padua, and Autar risk assessment scales can well predict the risk of VTE in stroke patients. The Caprini scale has the highest sensitivity and the Padua scale has the highest specificity. There is no significant difference in the predictive value of the three scales. Comprehensive evaluation of predictive value: Padua risk assessment scale is the best.

【Objective】 To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Perioperative Transfusion Trigger Score (POTTS) in guiding surgical patients blood transfusion intraoperatively and postoperatively. 【Methods】 A total of 900 patients(perioperative Hb 60~100 g/L) from December 2017 to March 2021 were collected, including 251 males and 649 females, with ASA grading Ⅰ~Ⅳ, and randomly divided into experimental group and controls. In the experimental group, the allogeneic RBC transfusion trigger(Hb threshold) and transfusion units in anemia patients was determined by POTTS. While those in the controls were decided by physicians according to current guidelines concerning transfusion. The proportion and units of allogeneic RBC transfusion, the incidence of postoperative complications, the mortality of hospitalization and discharge for 4 weeks, Hb value, healing of surgical incision, ICU admission rate and ICU length of stay, length of hospitalization, etc were recorded. 【Results】 The proportion of allogeneic RBC transfusion in the experimental group(35.3%)were less than the controls(42.2%)(P<0.05). The units of allogeneic RBC transfused, incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in hospital and 4 weeks after surgery, healing of surgical incision (grade A/ grade B/ grade C), the Hb level 24 h after surgery and at discharge, the ICU admission rate and ICU length of stay, length of hospitalization were not significantly different between the groups. 【Conclusion】 The peri-operative allogeneic red blood cells transfusion guided by POTTS can reduce the proportion of allogeneic RBC transfusion, and is safe and effective.

Objective:To explore the trajectory of breast reconstruction in patients with breast cancer at different stages of treatment and to provide reference for medical staff to intervene in breast reconstruction and improve breast reconstruction rate.Methods:During February 2017-October 2017, 192 female patients with breast cancer (aged 20-64 years, mean 49.7 years) were selected by self-designed breast reconstruction demand questionnaire. They were checked up in the diagnosis period, after chemotherapy without chemotherapy, after chemotherapy, and after the completion of chemotherapy.Results:The demand rates for breast reconstruction during the diagnosis period, the period without chemotherapy after mastectomy, the middle period of chemotherapy and after chemotherapy were 10.4%, 13.4%, 16.7% and 17.7% respectively. The main reasons why patients were unwilling to choose breast reconstruction were that patients were worried that breast reconstruction would affect the integrity of cancer resection and worried about cancer recurrence and metastasis. Patients who were unwilling to breast reconstruction planned to choose breast prosthesis, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Menopause was the influencing factor of breast reconstruction demand. Conclusions:After chemotherapy, patients have the highest demand rate for breast reconstruction, and more patients are willing to choose the breast reconstruction method of prosthesis implantation. This period is the best period for medical staff to recommend breast reconstruction treatment.

Objective: To analyze the CT manifestations of the 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) combined with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) literature review, and to summarize the characteristics of CT imaging, so as to improve the ability of rapid and accurate diagnosis. Methods: CT manifestations of two confirmed cases of NCP were reported, meanwhile the literatures on SARS and MERS imaging performance were reviewed and summarized. Results: The two cases of NCP were both in acute stage, the CT imaging showed multiple and scattered ground-glass opacity (GGO) in both lungs, which is similar to the CT performance of SARS and MERS in acute stage. Conclusions The CT features of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia are similar to SARS and MERS. It has certain characteristics and changes rapidly with the course of the disease. In the acute stage, GGO and paving stone sign were the main manifestations. In the acute phase, GGO and crazy paving are the main manifestations. In the progress stage, the interlobular septal thickening and consolidation appeared. During the absorption period, the lesions disappeared or fibrosis was left behind, with lung structure distortion and bronchiectasis. Lymphadenopathy and hydrothorax were rare.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of vaginal delivery with scarred uterus after cesarean section.Methods Sixty two parturients after cesarean section undergoing trial vaginal delivery in our department from October 2016 to October 2017 were enrolled in study (study group);60 primiparous women admitted at the same period were taken as the control group.The successful rate of vaginal delivery,the duration of labor and the incidence of postpartum complications were analyzed.The postpartum depression was assessed with Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale 6 weeks after delivery and compared between two groups.Results The vaginal delivery was successful in 49 parturients of each group with a successful rate of 79.0％ (49/62) and 81.7％ (49/60) respectively (x2=0.13,P=0.71).The first and the second stages of labor in the study group were (364± 105)min and (54±31)min,respectively,which were shorter than those of the control group [(388±93)min and (63± 18)min,t=2.325,P=0.03;t=2.145,P=0.04].The incidence rates of postpartum hemorrhage,infection and urinary retention were 3.2％ (2/62) and 1.7％ (1/60),1.6％ (1/62) and 1.7％ (1/60),4.8％ (3/62) and 3.3％ (2/60) in study group and control group,respectively (x2=0.309,0.001 and 0.176,P＞0.05).The Apgar scores of the newborns in two groups were 8.7± 2.1 and 8.5± 1.8 (t=1.415,P=0.14) and the postpartum depression scores of the mothers were 13.7±4.3 and 12.4±3.2 (t=1.203,P=0.33),respectively.Conclusion Vaginal delivery can be chosen in parturients with scarred uterus after cesarean section,if preparations are adequate,indications of vaginal delivery are sufficient and the course of labor is closely monitored.
