Objective:To evaluate the technical feasibility and perioperative safety of pyeloplasty assis-ted by the CarinaTM modular laparoscopic surgical robotic system in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction(UPJO).Methods:From November to December 2024,five consecutive patients diagnosed with UPJO underwent robot-assisted pyeloplasty using the CarinaTM modular laparoscopic surgical system at Peking University First Hospital.Data on patient demographics,intraoperative parameters(including docking time,console time,and estimated blood loss),perioperative outcomes,follow-up results,and surgeons' subjective evaluations of system performance were prospectively collected.Descriptive statistics were used;continuous variables were presented as median(range),and categorical variables as frequen-cy and percentage.Results:The cohort included four females and one male.All the patients successfully completed the robotic procedure without conversion to open or conventional laparoscopic surgery.The me-dian age was 32 years(24-37 years),and the median body mass index was 21.6 kg/m2(15.8-27.3 kg/m2).The median docking time was 8 min(3-12 min),and the median console time was 91 min(71-125 min).Intraoperative blood loss was uniformly 20 mL.The median postoperative drainage du-ration was 3 d(0-4 d),and the median length of hospital stay was 4 d(4-9 d).No Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ or higher complications occurred.All the patients had their double-J stents removed at 2 months postoperatively,and pain in the ipsilateral flank,reported preoperatively by all the five patients,was al-leviated.The subjective surgical success rate was 100%.Surgeons reported stable system performance throughout all the procedures,with no instances of mechanical arm interference or visual drift affecting surgical fluency.Conclusion:Preliminary findings indicate that pyeloplasty using the domestically deve-loped CarinaTM modular laparoscopic robotic system is technically feasible and perioperatively safe for the treatment of UPJO.

Objective: To analyze the distribution and drug resistance characteristics of clinical separation germ in a hospital from 2013 to 2015 to provide reference and basis for the prevention and control of nosocomial infection and rational use of antibiotics.Methods: The microbial susceptibility of isolated strains was detected using the conventional methods, and the drug sensitivity was analyzed by BioMerieux ATB 1.22.The drug sensitivity was determined according to CLSI 2014 criteria.Results: A total of 18 421 specimens were isolated during 2013 and 2015, and a total of 3 744 strains were isolated with the total positive rate of 20.32%.The separation and identification of pathogenic bacteria at the top 5 were Escherichia coli (967 strains, 44.34%), Bauman Acinetobacter (323 strains, 14.81%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (312 strains, 14.31%), Staphylococcus aureus (297 strains 13.62%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (282 strains, 12.92%).Besides the natural resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae to amoxicillin, the resistance rate of Escherichia coli to piperacillin was over 75%, while the sensitivity rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae to piperacillin and tazobactam was more than 90%.The sensitivity of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to clinical antibiotics was basically below 40%, and the overall resistance level was higher than that of Bauman.MRSA was sensitive to nitrofurantoin, minocycline, quinupristin-Dafoe and leptin glycopeptide antibiotics (such as teicoplanin and vancomycin).Conclusion: The hospital should strengthen the monitoring of bacterial resistance and track the results in a timely manner so as to provide reference for the rational drug use in clinical practice.

Objective To obtain the matched parameters between image quality and radiation dose by exploring the influence of the exposure parameters of screening mammography on both the image quality and radiation dose.Methods The correlation between the exposure parameters and average glandular doses to 507 patients undergoing screening mammography were retrospectively analyzed.The influence of breast compression thickness on radiation dose by exposing different thickness of PMMA was obtained.The correlation with image quality was analyzed by combined testing of contrast detail test mode ( CDMAM3.4 )and different thickness of PMMAs.Results The groups aged 30 to 49 years were the main groups in 507examined patients,up to 67.06% of the total.The mean value of average gland doses ( AGD ) in contrastprior mode was the highest in three kinds of exposure modes,accounting for 137.5% of standard mode.In standard mode,target material/filtration board combination was Mo/Mo,Mo/Rh and Rh/Rh,accounting for 1/3 respectively.Mo/Rh and Rh/Rh were selected in dose-prior mode,accounting for 50% respectively.Mo/Mo was mainly selected in contrast-prior,accounting for 52%.Breast compression thickness was positively correlated with average gland doses.Image quality figure inverse (IQFinv) under three kinds of modes (STD,DOSE,CNT) was 98.32,95.41 and 107.02,respectively,and IQFinv of contrast-prior mode was the highest among them.IQFinv was in general agreement in the three kinds of exposure modes when the thickness of PMMA plates plates was greater than or equal to 5 cm.Conclusions In clinical practice,when the breast is of density type and pressed thickness is less than 4 em,the dose-prior mode should be selected.When the pressed thickness is between 4 and 6 cm,the standard exposure mode should be selected.When the pressed thickness is larger than 6 cm,the manual mode should be selected.
