Objective To investigate the feasibility of hernia needle assisted suture in single-incision laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair(SIL-TAPP).Methods From February 2023 to April 2024,20 young patients with indirect inguinal hernia were treated with SIL-TAPP.A 2 cm curved incision was made at the navel,and a three channel port was inserted for transabdominal preperitoneal repair.A hernia needle was inserted into the affected side lower abdominal wall to assist in one handed suturing and closure of the peritoneum.Results All the operations were successful.The operation time was 85-125 min,with an average of(91.3±10.0)min.The closure of the peritoneum took 18-30 min,with an average of(23.4±3.2)min.Intraoperative blood loss was 5-25 ml.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score at 24 h after surgery was 1-3 points.Postoperative hospitalization lasted 1-5 d,with an average of(2.4±1.0)d.After surgery,one patient had seroma in the groin area and one patient had fat liquefaction in the umbilical cord.All the patients were followed up for 8-22 months after operation,with an average of(15.3±3.4)months.No recurrence after operation or umbilical hernia was noted.Conclusion The use of hernia needle assisted suturing to close the peritoneum during SIL-TAPP surgery can reduce the difficulty of one handed suturing,especially suitable for the early stage of single-incision laparoscopic surgery.

Pyroptosis,an inflammatory caspase-dependent programmed cell death,plays a vital role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and activating inflammatory responses.Orthodontic tooth movement(OTM)is an aseptic force-induced inflammatory bone remodeling process mediated by the activation of periodontal ligament(PDL)progenitor cells.However,whether and how force induces PDL progenitor cell pyroptosis,thereby influencing OTM and alveolar bone remodeling remains unknown.In this study,we found that mechanical force induced the expression of pyroptosis-related markers in rat OTM and alveolar bone remodeling process.Blocking or enhancing pyroptosis level could suppress or promote OTM and alveolar bone remodeling respectively.Using Caspase-1-/-mice,we further demonstrated that the functional role of the force-induced pyroptosis in PDL progenitor cells depended on Caspase-1.Moreover,mechanical force could also induce pyroptosis in human ex-vivo force-treated PDL progenitor cells and in compressive force-loaded PDL progenitor cells in vitro,which influenced osteoclastogenesis.Mechanistically,transient receptor potential subfamily V member 4 signaling was involved in force-induced Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis in PDL progenitor cells.Overall,this study suggested a novel mechanism contributing to the modulation of osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone remodeling under mechanical stimuli,indicating a promising approach to accelerate OTM by targeting Caspase-1.
