Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a series of perioperative optimization measures based on evidence-based medicine aimed at achieving rapid recovery. Existing studies have shown that ERAS can effectively reduce surgical stress, decrease the incidence of complications, shorten hospital stays, save medical costs, and improve patient satisfaction. Although lung transplantation techniques have become increasingly mature, lung transplant recipients still have a high incidence of complications during perioperative period. To further improve the perioperative survival rate of lung transplant recipients, introducing ERAS concept into the perioperative management strategy of lung transplantation is of great significance for reducing incidence of perioperative complications, promoting rapid recovery and long-term survival of lung transplant recipients. This article discusses the advances in application of ERAS concept in the perioperative management of lung transplantation, aiming to provide references for optimizing the perioperative management of lung transplant recipients and reducing perioperative complications.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of pharmaceutical quality control on the efficiency and outcomes of standardized medication therapy management （MTM） services for patients with coronary heart disease by using Economic， Clinical and Humanistic Outcomes （ECHO） model. METHODS This study collected case data of coronary heart disease patients who received MTM services during January-March 2023 （pre-quality control implementation group， n＝96） and June-August 2023 （post-quality control implementation group， n＝164）. Using propensity score matching analysis， 80 patients were selected from each group. The study subsequently compared the economic， clinical， and humanistic outcome indicators of pharmaceutical services between the two matched groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups after matching （P＞0.05）. Compared with pre-quality control implementation group， the daily treatment cost （16.26 yuan vs. 24.40 yuan， P＜0.001）， cost-effectiveness ratio [23.12 yuan/quality-adjusted life year （QALY） vs. 32.32 yuan/QALY， P＜0.001]， and the incidence of general adverse drug reactions （2.50% vs. 10.00%， P＝0.049） of post-quality control implementation group were decreased significantly； the utility value of the EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire （0.74± 0.06 vs. 0.71±0.07， P＝0.003）， the reduction in the number of medication related problems （1.0 vs. 0.5， P＜0.001）， the medication adherence score （[ 6.32±0.48） points vs. （6.10±0.37） points， P＝0.001]， and the satisfaction score （[ 92.56±1.52） points vs. （91.95±1.56） points， P＝0.013] all showed significant improvements. Neither group experienced serious adverse drug reactions. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of new adverse reactions between the two groups （1.25% vs. 3.75%， P＝0.310）. CONCLUSIONS Pharmaceutical quality control can improve the quality of pharmaceutical care， and the ECHO model can quantitatively evaluate the effect of MTM services， making pharmaceutical care better priced and more adaptable to social needs， thus being worthy of promotion.

Objective:To investigate the factors in fluencing thyroid function abnormality(TFA)and its relationship with the clinical efficacy of sindilizumab treatment in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 180 patients with advanced gastric cancer treated with sintilimab at Jinan People's Hospital from January 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively reviewed.Patients were assigned in-to the TFA group and the normal control group according to thyroid function.Factors influencing the occurrence of TFA were investigated using the χ2 test and multifactorial Logistic regression.Kaplan-Meier analysis and the Log-rank test were used for comparison between groups.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to assess the correlation between TFA and therapeutic efficacy.Results:A total of 52 patients developed TFA.Univariate analysis showed that history of thyroid nodule,treatment regimen,liver metastasis,and car-cinoembryonic antigen(CEA)were associated with the development of TFA.Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that history of thyroid nodule,treatment regimen,and CEA were independent risk factors for the development of TFA(P<0.05).The objective response rate(ORR;34.6%vs.14.1%,P=0.002),disease control rate(DCR;69.2%vs.59.8%,P=0.024),and 1-year survival rate(59.6%vs.28.9%,P=0.012)were all better in the normal control group than those in the TFA group.Cox regression analysis showed that occurrence of TFA,liver meta-stasis,and≥6 treatment cycles were all independently associated with progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with ad-vanced gastric cancer(P<0.05).Conclusions:History of thyroid nodule,treatment regimen,and CEA may influence the occurrence of TFA.TFA may be a potential predictor of the efficacy of sindilizumab therapy for advanced gastric cancer,with patients who develop TFA poten-tially having better treatment outcomes.

Objective:To develop a quality control model for anal sphincter ultrasound images and validate its diagnostic performance across multiple centers.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on anal sphincter ultrasound images from seven medical centers in China between May 2019 and June 2022. A total of 7 040 images from 3 116 patients were included and divided into a training set（4 912 images）and a validation set（2 128 images）. The images were classified as standard or non-standard images by three experts. Three models were developed based on different image feature extraction methods：a single-branch model，a multi-branch weighted model，and a multi-branch ensemble model. The diagnostic performance of each model was evaluated using the area under the ROC curve（AUC），sensitivity，specificity，accuracy，positive predictive value，and negative predictive value，respectively. The optimal model was selected and compared with the performance of 4 doctors with varying experience levels. Sixty days later，the images with the assistance of the model's output were reassessed by the doctors to evaluate its impact on manual quality control.Results:① Among the 3 models，the multi-branch ensemble model demonstrated the highest AUC and sensitivity，with an AUC of 0.966（95% CI=0.958 - 0.974），a sensitivity of 91.83%，and a specificity of 91.41%. This model was named M quality. ② M quality's AUC was slightly lower than that of Senior A and B（0.966 vs. 0.976，0.976，and P<0.05），its sensitivity was slightly lower than that of Senior A（91.83% vs. 95.61%， P<0.001）but comparable to Senior B（91.83% vs. 92.89%， P=0.315），its specificity was slightly lower than Senior A and B（91.41% vs. 94.44%，98.18%，and P<0.05）. However，M quality significantly outperformed Junior A and B in AUC and sensitivity（AUC：0.966 vs. 0.850，0.818；sensitivity：91.83% vs. 84.90%，61.46%；all P<0.001），its specificity was higher than that of Junior A（91.41% vs. 80.28%， P<0.001）but lower than that of Junior B（91.41% vs. 95.96%， P<0.001）. ③ With model assistance，Senior B's sensitivity（92.89% vs. 94.20%， P=0.001）and Senior A's specificity（94.44% vs. 96.56%， P<0.001）improved significantly. Junior A and B showed significant improvements in AUC and sensitivity（AUC：0.931 vs. 0.850，0.914 vs. 0.818；sensitivity：91.83% vs. 84.90%，89.53% vs. 61.46%；all P<0.001）. After model assistance，Junior A's specificity increased（93.62% vs. 80.28%， P<0.001），while Junior B's specificity decreased（91.60% vs. 95.96%， P=0.013）. Conclusions:This study develops a quality control model for anal sphincter ultrasound images with robust diagnostic performance，approaching the level of seniors. The model significantly enhances the image quality assessment capabilities of juniors，demonstrating promising clinical application potential.

Objective To investigate the relationship between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)treatment time nodes and coronary microcirculation dysfunction(CMD)after primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)and its prognosis,providing evidence for early identification of high-risk patients,further optimization of treatment system,shortening treatment time and improving prognosis.Methods This study selected 150 STEMI patients who received primary PCI at the 920th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of the People's Liberation Army of China from March 2023 to September 2023 as the CMD group after PCI(89 cases),with a microcirculation resistance index(caIMR)of≥40 U based on coronary angiography.caIMR＜40 U was classified as the non-CMD group(61 cases).The clinical data,various examination indicators and imaging data of the two groups of patients were collected,and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)within half a year after direct PCI of the patients was followed up.The correlation between the two variables was analyzed using Spearman.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between each treatment time point and the occurrence of CMD after direct PCI.Using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis to predict the occurrence of CMD after direct PCI.The survival curves between the two groups were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results The levels of symptom onset-to-balloon(S-to-B),symptom onset-to-first medical contact(S-to-FMC),first medical contact-to-balloon(FMC-to-B),symptom onset-to-door(S-to-D)and first medical contact-to-door(FMC-to-D)in the CMD group were significantly higher than those in the non-CMD group(all P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that S-to-D,S-to-FMC,the time from FMC-to-B,and the time from FMC-to-D were all positively correlated with the time from S-to-B(r=0.996,P＜0.001;r=0.937,P＜0.001;r=0.431,P＜0.001;r=0.441,P＜0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that the duration of S-to-D(OR 2.165,95％CI 1.655-2.830,P＜0.001)was a significant influencing factor for CMD.Moreover,S-to-D has a relatively high predictive value for the occurrence of CMD after direct PCI.The area under the ROC curve is 0.898(95％CI 0.850-0.946,P＜0.001),the optimal cut-off value is 231 min,the sensitivity is 82.0％,and the specificity is 88.5％.Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of MACE outcomes in the CMD group was significantly lower than that in the non-CMD group(Log-rank P=0.009).Conclusions Shortening the S-to-D time can reduce the occurrence of CMD after PCI,thereby reducing the incidence of MACE and improving prognosis.

To investigate the feasibility and advantages of "Axis Coordinate Localization Method" combined with total endoscopic technique for parotid surgery. A total of 31 patients with parotid gland tumors who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2022 to August 2024 were included in this study. The cohort comprised 11 males and 20 females, with age of (38.9±13.9) years and a maximum tumor diameter of (19.34±6.89) mm. Among these cases, 93.5% (29/31) involved the superficial lobe and 6.5%(2/31) the deep lobe of the parotid gland. The "axial" localization method was utilized to plan the surgical approach: establishing a coordinate system with the earlobe as the origin, the surface projection of the parotid duct as the x-axis, and a perpendicular line through the origin as the y-axis. The incision type-pre-tragal, retroauricular groove, or postauricular hairline-was selected according to the position of the tumor′s surface projection center within this coordinate system. All operations were performed using a complete endoscopic technique for tumor and glandular tissue resection. Postoperative facial nerve function was assessed with the House-Brackmann grading scale, while patient incision satisfaction, impact on work and daily life, and facial symmetry were quantitatively evaluated using a Numerical Rating Scale (10-point system).　All 31 patients successfully underwent the procedure. Short-term postoperative complications included temporary facial paralysis in 1 case (3.2%), periauricular numbness in 1 case (3.2%), surgical site effusion in 1 case (3.2%), and subcutaneous hematoma in 1 case (3.2%). All complications resolved after appropriate management. During follow-up, there were no instances of sialocele, Frey syndrome, incision infection, or tumor recurrence. Patient ratings were as follows: incision satisfaction (9.42±0.78), impact of surgery on daily life (1.32±0.60), and facial symmetry (9.29±0.78). The one case of temporary facial paralysis recovered 3 months after surgery. The combination of the "Axial" localization method and fully endoscopic technique demonstrates clear clinical feasibility in parotid tumor resection. This approach enables rapid and personalized incision selection based on tumor location, while the endoscopic minimally invasive technique reduces tissue trauma, improves cosmetic outcomes, and enhances surgical safety. It provides a new minimally invasive treatment pathway for patients with benign parotid tumors.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between membranous urethral length (MUL) and early urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 71 prostate cancer patients who underwent RARP by a single surgeon at the PLA General Hospital between January 2020 and December 2023. Patient characteristics included: age of (65.32±6.04) years, BMI (25.21 ± 2.59) kg/m 2, prostate volume 32.41 (24.75, 44.40) ml, PSA 11.67 (8.22, 22.66) ng/ml. Gleason score [6/7/8/9-10: 15 (21.2%)/29 (40.8%)/16 (22.5%)/11 (15.5%)], Clinical stage [cT 1/cT 2/cT 3: 4 (5.6%)/61 (85.9%)/6 (8.5%)]. Measured MUL using multiparametric prostate MRI, median MUL was 13.25 (10.41-14.99) mm. Neurovascular bundle (NVB) preservation in 13 (18.3%) cases. Patients were grouped based on continence recovery at 1 and 3 months post-catheter removal. Age, BMI, prostate volume, PSA, Gleason score, clinical stage, NVB preservation, pathological stage, catheter indwelling time, and MUL were compared between groups. Multivariate analysis identified independent predictors of continence recovery. Results:All 71 surgeries were successful, pathological stage [pT 2/pT 3-4: 47 (66.2%)/24 (33.8%)], and catheter indwelling time 2.7 (2.0, 3.0) weeks. Follow-up data at 2 months were available for 71 patients, at 1 month, 42 patients achieved continence (continence group) and 29 had incontinence (incontinence group).No significant differences were observed between continence and incontinence groups in age [(64.93±6.48)years vs. (65.79±5.89) years], BMI [(26.26±2.52)kg/m 2 vs. (24.52±2.42) kg/m 2], prostate volume [32.00 (24.12, 41.11)ml vs. 33.00 (25.27, 47.97) ml], PSA [12.55 (8.31, 24.00) ng/ml vs. 11.30 (7.92, 20.65) ng/ml], Gleason score [6/7/8/9-10: 6 (14.2%)/18 (42.9%)/12 (28.6%)/6 (14.3%) vs. 9 (31.0%)/11 (37.9%)/4 (13.8%)/5 (17.3%)], clinical stage [cT 1/cT 2/cT 3: 2 (4.8%)/35 (83.3%)/5 (11.9%) vs. 2 (6.9%)/26 (89.7%)/1 (3.4%)], NVB preservation [7 (16.7%) vs. 6 (20.7%)], pathological stage [pT 2/pT 3-4: 27 (64.3%)/15 (35.7%) vs. 20 (69.0%)/9 (31.0%)], or catheter indwelling time [2.6(2.0, 3.0) weeks vs. 2.9 (2.0, 3.4) weeks]. However, MUL was significantly longer in the continence group [13.77 (11.70, 15.32) mm vs. 10.32 (9.65, 13.57) mm, P<0.01]. Follow-up data at 3 months were available for 69 patients, At 3 months, 61 patients achieved continence (continence group) and 8 remained incontinent (incontinence group). No significant differences were observed in age [(64.89±6.25)years vs. (68.13±4.09) years], BMI [(25.34±2.64)kg/m 2 vs. (24.36±2.49) kg/m 2], prostate volume [32.41 (24.44, 44.16)ml vs. 36.13 (27.48, 48.26) ml], PSA [12.50 (8.28, 22.76)ng/ml vs. 13.34 (5.88, 23.39) ng/ml], Gleason score [6/7/8/9-10: 12 (19.7%)/25 (41.0%)/14 (23.0%)/10 (16.3%) vs. 3 (37.5%)/3 (37.5%)/2 (25.0%)/0], clinical stage [cT 1/cT 2/cT 3: 3 (4.9%)/52 (85.2%)/6 (9.8%) vs. 1 (12.5%)/7 (87.5%)/0], NVB preservation [9 (14.8%) vs. 3 (37.5%)], pathological stage [pT 2/pT 3-4: 41 (67.2%)/20 (32.8%) vs. 5 (62.5%)/9 (31.0%)], or catheter indwelling time [2.7(2.0, 3.0)weeks vs. 3.0 (2.3, 3.7) weeks]. MUL remained significantly longer in the continence group [13.57 (10.57, 15.10)mm vs. 10.12 (9.36, 10.42) mm, P=0.002]. Multivariate logistic regression incorporating age, BMI, prostate volume, MUL, NVB preservation, and catheter indwelling time identified MUL as an independent protective factor for continence recovery at both 1 month [ OR=0.62, 95 CI 0.49-0.79, P<0.01] and 3 months [ OR=0.61, 95 CI 0.41-0.92, P=0.017]. Conclusions:MUL is independently associated with early urinary continence recovery after RARP, serving as a protective predictor at both 1 and 3 months after catheter removal.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for positive surgical margins（PSM）after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy（RARP），and to develop and validate a predictive nomogram.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 874 prostate cancer patients who underwent RARP performed by a single surgeon at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2012 and December 2018. Patients were divided into positive surgical margin（n=327）and negative surgical margin（n=547）groups based on postoperative margin status.The PSM group had significantly higher preoperative median tPSA［31.200（19.050，54.400）ng/ml vs. 15.050（9.840，27.590）ng/ml， P<0.01］，higher proportion of patients with PSAD>1 ng/ml 2［49.5%（162/327）vs. 21.2%（116/547）， P<0.01］，biopsy Gleason score ≥8［33.3%（109/327）vs. 21.2%（116/547）， P<0.01］，ISUP grade 4-5［33.3%（109/327）vs. 21.2%（116/547）， P<0.01］，clinical T stage ≥cT 3［11.3%（37/327）vs. 4.2%（23/547）， P<0.01］，and high-risk classification［82.3%（269/327）vs. 55.9%（306/547）， P<0.01］compared to the negative surgical margin group. Conversely，the PSM group had a lower prevalence of hypertension［29.7%（97/327）vs. 40.2%（220/547）， P=0.002］.Patients were randomly split into a training cohort（n=656，75%）and an internal validation cohort（n=218，25%）. An external validation cohort included 71 patients who underwent RARP by different surgeons between January 2014 and December 2016. No significant differences in baseline characteristics were observed between cohorts（ P>0.05）.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified independent predictors of PSM，which were incorporated into a nomogram. Predictive performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curves，decision curve analysis（DCA），and calibration curve. Internal and external validations were performed. Results:The PSM group had longer postoperative hospitalization［6（5，8）vs. 6（5，7）days， P=0.028］，higher rates of pathologic Gleason score ≥8［41.5%（115/277）vs. 24.9%（111/446）， P<0.01］，ISUP grade 4-5［41.5%（115/277）vs. 24.9%（111/446）， P<0.01］，pT 3 stage［52.3%（171/327）vs. 17.4%（95/547）， P<0.01］，pN 1 stage［12.8%（42/327）vs. 3.8%（21/547）， P<0.01］，extracapsular extension［52.3%（171/327）vs. 17.4%（95/547）， P<0.01］，and seminal vesicle invasion［34.6%（113/327）vs. 9.1%（50/547）， P<0.01］.Multivariate analysis identified elevated tPSA（ OR=1.014，95% CI 1.004—1.024，P=0.006）and PSAD ≥0.15 ng/（ml/g）（ OR=11.638，95% CI 1.450—93.396，P=0.021）as independent risk factors for PSM. The area under the ROC curve（AUC）of the nomogram constructed based on the above variables was 0.770（95% CI 0.735—0.805）. The AUC values for the internal and external validation sets were 0.698（95% CI 0.630—0.767）and 0.643（95% CI 0.513—0.774），respectively. The calibration curve demonstrated good agreement between the predicted and observed outcomes，and the DCA indicated that the predictive model has potential clinical utility in decision-making. Conclusion:tPSA and PSAD were identified as independent risk factors for PSM. The nomogram constructed based on these two independent predictive variables effectively predicted PSM after RARP.

Objective:To explore the possibility of using a inferior gluteal artery perforator flap (IGAPF) for breast reconstruction in the patient who did not have suitable donor site in back and abdomen.Methods:In November 2024, a 25-year-old unmarried and childless woman with right breast cancer received immediate right breast reconstruction by a right free IGAPF after modified right mastectomy in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University. The locations of perforators were confirmed by both Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and portable Doppler blood flow detector before surgery. The IGAPF was designed to take the inferior gluteal wrinkle as the lower edge, the axis of the flap was parallel to the inferior gluteal wrinkle, and the width of the flap was estimated where the incision could be directly closed. The size of right IGAPF was 6.0 cm×19.0 cm. Sharp dissection was performed between the sarcolemma and muscle fibres of gluteus, then the perforators were dissected along the direction of muscle fibres of gluteus. The vascular pedicle was kept at about 8.0 cm in length. The diameter of artery was about 2.0 mm and that for the veins was about 1.5 mm. End-to-end anastomoses with the right thoracodorsal artery and vein were successfully carried out. The donor site was directly closed, and it was hidden in the inferior gluteal wrinkle. Postoperative outpatient clinical review was made.Results:Pathological examination reported: an invasive carcinoma of right breast, axillary lymph node metastasis (2/10). The patient recovered well and the flap survived without any complication, i.e. ischemic necrosis, infection and haematoma. The patient was off-bed at 3 days and discharged at 13 days after surgery. At the 40 days of postoperative follow-up, the patient achieved a good recovery and the lower limb activity was not affected by the surgery. The patient was satisfied with the reconstructed breast and donor site recovery. The patient followed with scheduled chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy. The volume of reconstructed breast was smaller than the other breast, of which the patient was fully informed before the surgery.Conclusion:A free IGAPF provides an alternative donor sites for achieving a breast reconstruction due to the reliable pedicle vessels and invisible donor scars.

Acute myocardial infarction and acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding are both critical internal medicine conditions. The incidence of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with acute myocardial infarction ranges from 5.31% to 8.90%, with a mortality rate as high as 20.50% to 35.70%. The pathogenesis may be related to the use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs, as well as stress-induced injury. In treatment, the contradiction between antiplatelet/anticoagulation therapy and bleeding has made this disease a significant challenge in modern medicine. Therefore, re-exploring the etiology, pathogenesis, treatment principles, and methods of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) for acute myocardial infarction and acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is of great clinical importance. The research team has been working year-round in the coronary care unit(CCU), managing a large number of such severe patients. By revisiting classic texts and delving into the foundational theories of TCM and historical medical literature, it has been found that this disease falls under the category of "distant blood" in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. In terms of etiology, it is primarily associated with weakness of healthy Qi and damage caused by drug toxicity. In terms of pathogenesis, in the acute stage, it mainly manifests as insufficient spleen Yang, deficiency of spleen Qi, and failure of the spleen to control blood. In the remission stage, it is characterized by deficiency of both heart Qi and spleen blood. For treatment, during the acute stage, Huangtu Decoction is used to warm Yang and restrain blood, while in the remission stage, Guipi Decoction is administered to tonify Qi and nourish blood. During the treatment process, for patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, it is crucial to flexibly apply the treatment principles of "Nil per os" in western medicine and "where there is stomach Qi, there is life; where there is no stomach Qi, there is death" in TCM. Early intervention with Huangtu Decoction can also prevent bleeding, with large doses being key to achieving hemostasis. It is important to address the pathogenesis of heat syndrome in addition to the core pathogenesis of Yang deficiency bleeding and to emphasize the follow-up treatment with Guipi Decoction for a successful outcome.
