Objective:To analyze the application value of three-dimensional visualization combined with indocyanine green fluorescence staining in laparoscopic resection of patients with complex liver cancer.Methods:The data of patients with complex liver cancer (liver cancer located in liver segments Ⅶ, Ⅷ, Ⅳa, Ⅴ and caudate lobe) who underwent laparoscopic anatomical liver resection in Zhengzhou University People's Hospital from August 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 334 patients were enrolled, including 249 males and 85 females, with the age of (57.0±10.6) years. Among the 334 patients, patients who underwent laparoscopic liver resection using three-dimensional visualization combined with indocyanine green fluorescence staining were included in the combined group ( n=128), and the other patients who underwent traditional laparoscopic liver resection were included in the traditional group ( n=206). Propensity score was used to match the preoperative indicators and postoperative pathology between the two groups. The two groups were compared in terms of gender, age, maximum diameter of tumor, alpha-fetoprotein, number of tumors, tumor location, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, operation time, portal occlusion time, intraoperative blood loss, surgical margin and postoperative aspartate transaminase (ALT), alanine transaminase (AST), albumin, total bilirubin, and severe postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade≥grade Ⅲ). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the prognosis, and the log-rank test was used to compare the survival rate. Results:After propensity score matching, 120 cases were included in the combined group and the traditional group, respectively. There were no significant differences in gender, age, maximum diameter of tumor, alpha-fetoprotein, number of tumors, tumor location, and ASA grade between the two groups (all P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss in the combined group was 200.0 (150.0, 300.0) ml, and the positive surgical margin rate was 6.7% (8/120), which were lower than 300.0 (150.0, 500.0) ml and 15.8% (19/120) in the traditional group, with statistically significant differences ( Z=-2.43, P=0.015, χ2=5.05, P=0.025). There were no statistically significant differences in the operation time, portal occlusion time, and postoperative ALT, AST, albumin, and total bilirubin between the two groups (all P>0.05). Eight cases (6.7%) in the combined group and 11 cases (9.2%) in the traditional group had severe complications after surgery, and all were discharged after treatment. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates of the combined group were 83.3%, 61.7%, and 58.3% respectively, while that of the traditional group were 71.7%, 52.5%, and 49.2%, respectively, with significant difference ( χ2=4.57, P=0.031). There was no significant difference in the cumulative survival rate between the combined group and the traditional group ( χ2=0.66, P=0.417). Conclusion:Compared with laparoscopic liver resection, laparoscopic liver resection for patients with complex liver cancer using three-dimensional visualization technology combined with indocyanine green fluorescence staining technology can reduce intraoperative blood loss, positive margin rate, and postoperative recurrence.

Objective To systematic evaluate the impact of applying the clinical nursing pathway(CNP)on epidural anesthetic analgesia natural delivery.Methods The randomized controlled trial(RCT)and quasi-experimental researches on the application of CNP in epidural anesthetic analgesia natural delivery were retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,Web of Science,China Knowledge Network database,Wanfang database,VIP and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database.The retrieval time limit was from January 1,2014,to July 31,2024 with no language limitation.The meta analysis on the included studies was performed by applying RevMan5.4.1.Results A total of 5 RCTs and 2 quasi-experimental studies were in-cluded,involving 979 parturients with deliveries.The meta analysis showed that compared with the conven-tional nursing,CNP could shorten the duration of the first stage of labor(MD=—1.06,95％CI:—1.95——0.17,P=0.02)and the duration of the second stage of labor(MD=—0.12,95％CI:—0.21——0.03,P=0.006);decreased the rate of perineal lateral incision(RR=0.73,95％CI:0.65-0.83,P＜0.001)and inci-dence rate of postpartum urinary retention(RR=0.35,95％CI:0.20-0.63,P＜0.001);and shortened the time to lactation initiation(SMD=—1.52,95％CI:—2.38——0.66,P＜0.001).There was no influence on reducing postpartum 24 h hemorrhage amount(SMD=—0.51,95％CI:—1.23-0.21,P=0.16).The study subjects were divided into the primipara women subgroup and unclassified parturients subgroup.Compared with the conventional nursing group,compared with the conventional nursing,CNP had no impact on the dura-tion of the first stage of labor(MD=—0.32,95％CI:—0.61-0.98,P=0.63)and the duration of the second stage of labor(MD=—0.11,95％CI:—0.25-0.04,P=0.15)in the primipara women subgroup.CNP could reduce the postpartum 24 h hemorrhage volume in the unclassified parturients subgroup(SMD=—1.47,95％CI:—1.72——1.21,P＜0.001).Conclusion Application of CNP in parturients labor analgesia could reduce the perineal lateral incision rate and incidence rate of postpartum urinary retention and shorten the time to lac-tation initiation.Due to the heterogeneity among studies,the impact of CNP on the labor duration and the bleeding amount within postpartum 24 h still requires more high-quality studies to be conducted in the future for verification.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for clinically relevant delayed gastric emptying (CR-DGE) following laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) and to develop a model to predict the postoperative CR-DGE after LPD using the machine-learning approach with multi-model comparison.Methods:Clinical data of 278 patients with tumors located in the pancreatic head and periampullary region undergoing LPD at People’s Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 167 males and 111 females, aged 59 (53, 66) years. According to the occurrence of DGE, patients were divided into the CR-DGE group ( n=94) and the non-CR-DGE group ( n=184). Main clinical characteristics were compared between the groups, including pancreatic duct diameter, intraoperative blood loss and operative time. The perioperative indicators were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm. Following variable selection, 278 patients were allocated into a training set ( n=222) and a validation set ( n=56) in an 8∶2 ratio. Eight machine learning models were selected to model the training set: random forest, adaptive boosting, light gradient boosting, multilayer perceptron, support vector machine, K-nearest neighbor algorithm, decision tree and complementary set plain bayes. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve of the validation set was utilized to identify the optimal model. The predictive performance of the optimal model was evaluated using calibration plots and decision curve analysis (DCA). The contribution of each feature to the prediction is assessed using Shapley additive explanation (SHAP). Results:Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences between the CR-DGE and non-CR-DGE groups in terms of age [66(62, 69) years vs. 56(51, 60), years], diabetes [42.6%(40/94) vs. 11.4%(21/184)], level of fibrinogen [3.43(2.74, 4.18) g/L vs. 3.84(3.19, 4.68) g/L], pancreatic duct diameter [2.00(1.50, 2.70) mm vs. 3.40(1.60, 5.00) mm], intraoperative blood loss [300(200, 600) ml vs. 200(150, 300) ml], operative time [472(430, 502) min vs. 430(365, 475) min], clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula [34.0%(32/94) vs. 3.8%(7/184)], abdominal fluid accumulation [46.8%(44/94) vs. 12.5%(23/184)], postoperative hemorrhage [20.2%(19/94) vs. 3.3%(6/184)], abdominal infection [28.7%(27/94) vs. 11.4% (21/184)] and duration of postoperative gastrointestinal decompression [4.00 (2.00, 6.00) d vs. 3.00 (2.00, 5.00) d] (all P<0.05). The eleven variables selected via LASSO were incorporated into each of the eight machine learning models. Results demonstrated that the random forest model achieved the highest performance in the validation set, with an AUC of 0.894 (95% CI: 0.800-0.985), accuracy of 0.820 and sensitivity of 0.606. Calibration plots and DCA confirmed the robustness of the random forest model. SHAP analysis indicated that age, pancreatic duct diameter and preoperative aspartate aminotransferase were important predictors in the random forest model. Conclusion:The random forest model developed in this study demonstrated a good predictive performance for CR-DGE after LPD and may assist in the early identification of high-risk patients in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of intraoperative regional lymph-adenectomy and extended lymphadenectomy in resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 187 patients of hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to Henan University People′s Hospital from January 2014 to January 2018 were collected. There were 105 males and 82 females, aged (57±9)years. Of the 187 patients, 62 patients undergoing hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection with extended lymphadenectomy were divided into the extended group, and 125 patients under-going hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection with regional lymphadenectomy were divided into the regional group. Observation indicators:(1) propensity score matching status and comparison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribu-tion between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the rank sum test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot calculate survival rate and survival curve. The Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Propen-sity score matching was performed using the 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method, with the caliper value of 0.1. Results:(1) Propen-sity score matching status and comparison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 187 patients, 104 patients were success-fully matched, with 52 cases in each of the extended group and the regional group. After propensity score matching, the elimination of tumor diameter, neural invasion, Bismuth classification, and TNM staging confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. After pro-pensity score matching, the operation time of the extended group was (341±83)minutes, the number of lymph node dissected was 12.3±4.5, the number of positive lymph node dissected was 2.2±0.7, cases of postoperative new lymphadenectasis was 17. The above indicators of the regional group were (311±73)minutes, 9.2±3.4, 1.5±0.5, 44, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indica-tors between patients of the two groups ( t=-1.99, -3.92, -5.57, χ2=31.18, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up. After propensity score matching, all 104 patients were followed up after surgery, with the follow-up time of 29(range, 3-49)months. The postoperative 3-year overall survival rate was 44.2% of the extended group, versus 30.8% of the regional group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.41, P<0.05). Conclusions:The perioperative safety of regional lymphadenec-tomy and extended lymphadenectomy in the radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma are com-parable. Extended lymphadenectomy can increase the number of positive lymph node detected and improve the postoperative survival rate of patients.

Objective:To establish a machine learning model to predict the risk of post hepatectomy liver dysfunction (PHLD) in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA).Methods:Clinical data of 203 patients with HCCA undergoing open radical hemihepatectomy in Henan University People's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 112 males and 91 females, aged 63 (55, 69) years. According to the diagnostic criteria for PHLD, patients were divided into two groups: PHLD group ( n=45) and non-PHLD group ( n=158). Clinical data such as age, sex, neutrophil count (NEU), systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII), nutritional prognosis index (PNI), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), operative time and complications were compared between the two groups. The variables with statistically significant difference between the two groups were included in seven machine learning models, namely logistic regression, random forest, extreme gradient boosting, light gradient boosting, decision tree, gaussian naive bayes and support vector machine. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve optimization model was adopted, and Shapliga sum-interpretation method (SHAP) was used to analyze and interpret the final optimal model. Results:There were statistically significant differences in age, preoperative data including management of jaundice, albumin, total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, NEU, SII, PNI, and NLR, operative time, postoperative complication of Dindo-Clavien≥Grade Ⅲ, and the ratio of FLR/TLV between in the two groups (all P<0.05). Finally, it was determined that the prediction performance of the extreme gradient boosting model was the best, with an area under curve of 0.888 (95% CI: 0.776-0.985), an accuracy of 0.854, a sensitivity of 0.506, a specificity of 0.965, an F1 value of 0.625, and a Kappa value of 0.519. SHAP analysis of the extreme gradient boosting model showed that total bilirubin on admission, operation time, postoperative complication of Dindo-Clavien≥grade Ⅲ, SII and NEU were five important factors of this model, which were positively correlated with the occurrence of PHLD in HCCA patients. Conclusion:The extreme gradient boosting model established in this study has a good predictive performance and stability for PHLD in HCCA patients.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of follicle unit extraction (FUE) and non shaving long hair implantation.Methods:Fifty individuals seeking beauty were selected to use FUE non shaving long hair implantation surgery for hairline reshaping or local hairthinning thatch. They were followed up for 12 months to evaluate the coverage rate, aesthetic effect, adverse reactions, and patient′s satisfaction of hair implantation.Results:Among the 42 patients seeking beauty, the hair in the affected area grew well and looked beautiful and natural after surgery. The donor area had no infection, no obvious scars, and no awkward period. Four patients with poor survival after hair transplantation underwent secondary implantation. Four patients were dissatisfied with the occurrence of a large amount of hair loss during the replacement period in the affected area. But after one year, the final effect was satisfied.Conclusions:FUE non shaving long hair transplantation is safe and effective in improving hairline and other small area hair transplantation, with a high survival rate and beautiful results. There is no obvious awkward period after surgery, with high rate of satisfaction.
