Objective:To investigate the effect of using " Four-Quadrant Pre-Positioning Method" combined with synchronous CT imaging to assist color doppler ultrasound in establishing an ideal puncture access for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 113 patients with renal stones treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2021 to July 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical method: the study group and the control group. The study group consisted of 64 patients who, from June 2022 to July 2023, underwent PCNL with the assistance of the four-quadrant pre-positioning method and color doppler ultrasound for puncture point localization. The control group consisted of 49 patients who underwent PCNL from May 2021 to May 2022. Based on the distribution of stones, both groups were further divided into three subgroups: subgroup 1: single renal pelvis or single renal calyx stones (study group: 27 patients, control group: 20 patients). Stone length was (34.27±7.69) mm vs. (39.77±11.34) mm, respectively. Subgroup 2: renal pelvis combined with a single renal calyx stone, or multiple stones in more than two renal calyces (study group: 19 patients, control group: 15 patients). Stone length was (45.77±9.50) mm vs.(40.94±11.34) mm, respectively. Subgroup 3: staghorn or cast stones (study group: 20 patients, control group: 17 patients). Stone length was (60.03±11.59) mm vs. (58.41±15.01) mm, respectively. There were no significant differences in gender, age, height, weight, side of the stone, stone length, or stone CT values between the subgroups ( P>0.05).The use of four-quadrant pre-positioning method results from multi-slice spiral CT imaging and the patient's anatomical characteristics. The 12th rib apex is taken as the origin, and the body's transverse and longitudinal axes are defined as the X and Y axes, respectively, to create the " Four Quadrants." The ideal puncture point is located within these quadrants. During the procedure, based on surface markings of the 12th rib apex, the " Four Quadrants" and ideal puncture point are identified on the patient's body surface, assisting the color doppler ultrasound in guiding the establishment of the puncture access. The puncture access establishment time, puncture first calyx success rate (criteria: for single renal pelvis or calyx stones, the first puncture access should achieve a stone-free rate >90%; for multiple renal calyx stones or staghorn stones, the first puncture access should achieve a stone-free rate >50%), surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, stone-free rate, and postoperative complications were compared between the study and control groups in each subgroup. Results:In subgroup 1, the puncture access establishment time was (4.74±2.25) minutes in the study group vs. (7.00±3.13) minutes in the control group ( P=0.006). In subgroup 2, the puncture access establishment time was (6.94±2.12) minutes in the study group vs. (9.80±2.83) minutes in the control group ( P=0.002), with the first calyx success rate being 94.7% (18/19) in the study group vs. 60.0% (9/15) in the control group ( P=0.028). The surgical time was (97.68±26.22) minutes vs. (136.29±33.00) minutes ( P=0.001).In subgroup 3, the puncture access establishment time was (8.00±2.69) minutes in the study group vs. (12.59±3.54) minutes in the control group ( P=0.001), with the first calyx success rate being 100.0% (20/20) in the study group vs. 76.5% (13/17) in the control group ( P=0.036). Intraoperative blood loss was (238.00±176.74) ml vs. (388.57±219.89) ml ( P=0.043). No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of immediate postoperative stone-free rate (subgroup 1: 92.6% (25/27) vs. 95.0% (19/20), P=0.739; subgroup 2: 78.9% (15/19) vs. 73.3% (11/15), P=1.000; subgroup 3: 75.0% (15/20) vs. 70.5% (12/17), P=0.703) or complication rates (subgroup 1: 25.9% (7/27) vs. 25.0% (5/20), P=0.943; subgroup 2: 26.3% (5/19) vs. 40.0% (6/15), P=0.475; subgroup 3: 40.0% (8/20) vs. 41.2% (7/17), P=1.000). Conclusions:The four-quadrant pre-positioning method effectively assists in the use of color doppler ultrasound to establish an ideal puncture access during PCNL, reducing puncture access establishment time and improving the rationality of the puncture path. It also significantly reduces intraoperative blood loss, particularly for complex renal stones such as those in multiple renal calyces or staghorn stones, thereby enhancing the safety of the procedure.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2023;29(4):443-451
ObjectiveTo examine the interventions and health benefits of aerobic exercise for substance abusers using International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11) and International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. MethodsThe PICO framework was developed and randomized controlled trials were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and CNKI dated from the inception of the databases to April, 2023. Then a systematic review was conducted. ResultsSeven randomized controlled trials involving 498 participants from three countries were included. The studies were mainly published in international journals such as International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, Psychiatry Research, Mental Health and Physical Activity, BMC Sports Science, and Medicine and Rehabilitation, and covered the period from 2010 to 2022. The substance abusers in the included studies were classified into seven categories of mental and behavioral disorders, including methamphetamine dependence, cocaine dependence, cannabis dependence, opioid dependence, sedative dependence, heroin dependence, and ketamine dependence. Aerobic exercise activities included running, cycling, Tai Chi, Qigong, yoga, jumping rope, climbing, etc., with a frequency of 20 to 60 minutes per session, one to ten times per week. The activity intensity was mainly concentrated in moderate to high intensity, and the duration ranged from 12 to 48 weeks. The health outcomes were evaluated in six aspects: physical motor function, cognitive function, emotional functioning, medication cravings, physical fitness, and overall function and quality of life. ConclusionBased on ICD-11 and ICF, a theoretical framework was constructed to evaluate the health effects of aerobic exercise for substance abusers. Aerobic exercise could improve flexibility and balance, grip strength, vertical jump height, and sit and reach distance, as well as enhance physical fitness, strength, flexibility, speed and agility in substance abusers' physical function. In terms of cognitive function, aerobic exercise could help to improve working memory, attention and executive function, as well as cognitive and neurological functions. Aerobic exercise rehabilitation could also improve psychological health, such as anxiety, depression and fatigue, and increase the ability to resist substance dependence in substance abusers. In addition, aerobic exercise rehabilitation could improve physical fitness, such as body mass, blood pressure and blood lipid levels, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other diseases. It could also improve overall social function, increase social adaptability and quality of life, and reduce the risk of substance abuse relapse in substance abusers.

Objective:To cultivate human-derived prostate cancer (PCa) cells via conditional reprogramming cell (CRC) technology, and establish individualized cell bank for PCa research in vitro.Methods:We obtained three fresh PCa tissue samples from different patients between January 2019 and April 2019. Then each sample was divided into two parts. One was used for cancer nature confirmation by intraoperative biopsy. Another part was sent to the laboratory and digested into single primary cancer cells with 0.25% EDTA enzyme for CRC technology. The details were described as followed: 1. The primary PCa cells were co-cultured with 3T3-J2 cells irradiated by 30 Gy (feeder cells) in conditioned medium, and observed for the growth of cell clones, 2. The feeder cells were removed by 0.25% EDTA trypsin for 1 minute before primary PCa cells digested for passage. All primary PCa cells were validated by multiple experiments such as immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, immunoblotting and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Results:Total three cases of human-derived PCa cell lines were successfully established during 15days through CRC technology. All those primary PCa cells could be steadily and continuously passaged, which also expressed AR, CK5, CK18, P504s and PSA. FISH demonstrated that each cell line harbored≥1.6% TMPRSS2/ERG fusion and conformed to the features of PCa.Conclusion:CRC technology can be used for stable and continuous PCa cell culture in vitro.
