Objective:To retrospectively analyze the results of auditory examination,vestibular function examination and laboratory examination of 63 patients diagnosed as vestibular neuritis.Methods:A total of 63 patients diagnosed with vestibular neuritis hospitalized in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, from October 2012 to December 2022 were recruited. All patients met the diagnostic criteria for the 2022 Bárány association vestibular neuritis. Clinical data and the results of pure tone audiometry, electrocochleogram, video electronystagmogram, caloric test, cervical vestibuloevoked myogenic potential（cVEMP）, ocular vestibuloevoked myogenic potential（oVEMP）, video head impulse test（vHIT） was collected.A total of 63 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects in the physical examination center were randomly selected as the control group. The differences of blood indexs and lipid metabolism indexes between the two groups were compared. Results:In patients with vestibular neuritis, 50 out of 63 patients presented normal threshold in pure tone audiometry, 8 out of 63 patients had bilateral high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss and 5 out of 63 patients had unilateral mild high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, 56 out of 63 cases completed the electrocochleogram, of which 3 cases had a binaural-SP/AP amplitude ratio≥0.4, 5 cases had monaural amplitude ratio ≥0.4. Fifty-five out of 63 patients completed the caloric test with CP values greater than 30% in all. The ratio of patients completed cVEMP, oVEMP and vHIT were 46 cases, 22 cases and 30 cases, respectively. 17 out of 63 cases completed all the four vestibular function tests. According to these tests, 49 patients could determine the extent of injury，including 27 cases with unilateral superior vestibular nerve injury, 21 cases with unilateral superior and inferior vestibular nerve injury and 1 case with unilateral inferior vestibular nerve injury. There were significant differences in neutrophil value（P<0.001）, lymphocyte value（P<0.005）, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio（P<0.001） and apolipoprotein A1（P<0.001） between patient group and control group. Inflammatory markers were risk factors for patients with vestibular neuritis. The OR values of neutrophil value and blood neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were 1.81（1.38-2.37, P<0.001） and 2.11（1.41-3.16, P<0.001）, respectively. Apolipoprotein A1 was a protective factor for patients with vestibular neuritis, and the OR value was 0.004（0.001-0.042, P<0.001）. Conclusion:Electrocochleogram could be used in vestibular neuritis patients with normal pure tone threshold to test whether there is hidden hearing loss in these patients. Neutrophil value, lymphocyte value, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and apolipoprotein A1 were correlated with vestibular neuritis. The Neutrophil value and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were risk factors for morbidity.

【Objective】 To explore the effectiveness of an image recognition system based on artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnosing benign and malignant endometrial cell clumps. 【Methods】 We selected endometrial cytological specimens from The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University and Xi’an Daxing Hospital from August 2021 to February 2023; histopathology was used as the gold standard. We compared and analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy and diagnostic time of AI image recognition system (AI diagnosis) and professional pathologists’ manual diagnosis (manual diagnosis) of benign and malignant endometrial cell clumps. 【Results】 Among the 126 patients included in the analysis, the overall coincidence rate of AI diagnosis and histological diagnosis was 92.1% (116/126), which was highly consistent with histopathological results (Kappa=0.841). The overall coincidence rate of manual diagnosis and histological diagnosis was 94.4% (119/126), which was highly consistent with histopathological results (Kappa=0.889). There was no statistically significant difference between AI diagnosis and manual diagnosis methods (χ²=0.568, P=0.451). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of AI diagnosis were 91.8%, 92.3%, 91.8%, and 92.3%, respectively. There were 126 cytology sections, each of which required 6.67 minutes for manual diagnosis and 5.00 minutes for AI diagnosis. 【Conclusion】 The AI image recognition system has high diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, which is equivalent to the manual diagnosis level of professional pathologists. Therefore, this system has application value in the diagnosis of benign and malignant endometrial cell clumps.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of modified automatic hemorrhoidal ligation using elastic string (RPH-4) combined with Xiaozhilling injection for grade Ⅲ hemorrhoids.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. The clinical data of patients with grade Ⅲ hemorrhoids who underwent modified RPH-4 combined with Xiaozhiling injection in Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Chongqing Shapingba District from July 2021 to December 2022 were selected. Patients with grade Ⅲ hemorrhoids who meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group using a random number table method. Patients in the experiment group underwent submucosal injection of the Xiaozhilling injec-tion followed by modified RPH-4, and patients in the control group underwent submucosal injection of the 0.9% sodium chloride solution followed by modified RPH-4. Observation indicators: (1) grouping of enrolled patients; (2) postoperative situations; (3) short-term efficacy; (4) long-term efficacy. Com-parison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the inde-pendent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the nonparameter test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Grouping of enrolled patients. A total of 120 patients were selected. There were 72 males and 48 females, aged 48(range, 18-69)years, including 60 cases in the experiment group and 60 cases in the control group, respectively. There was no significant difference in gender, age, type of hemorrhoids, time to hemorrhoid prolapsis, stool blood, symptom score and Wexner score between the two groups ( P>0.05), confounding bias ensured comparability. At the end of the study, there were 59 cases in the experimental group and 58 cases in the control group. (2) Postoperative situations. There were 5 cases of secondary bleeding after modified RPH-4 in the experiment group and 15 cases of secondary bleeding after modified RPH-4 in the control group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=6.239, P<0.05). The post-operative hemorrhoidal shedding time was (6.9±1.4)days in the experiment group, versus (8.1±2.2)days in the control group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( t=-3.566, P<0.05). (3) Short-term efficacy. There were 59 cases in the experiment group and 58 cases in the control group completing short-term follow-up. The cure rate was 88.14%(52/59) in the experiment group, versus 84.48%(49/58) in the control group, showing no significant difference in short-term efficacy between the two groups ( χ2=0.331, P>0.05). The wound healing time was (24±5)days in the experi-ment group, versus (25±5)days in the control group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=-1.082, P>0.05). (4) Long-term efficacy. There were 59 cases in the experiment group and 58 cases in the control group completing long-term follow-up. None of patient in the two groups had anal incontinence. Cases of hemorrhoid recurrence (blood stool or prolapse) and cases of rectal hard segment in the experiment group were 2 and 1, respectively, and there was no anorectal stenosis. Cases of hemorrhoid recurrence (blood stool or prolapse) and cases of anorectal stenosis were 8 and 1, respectively, and there was no rectal hard segment. There was no significant difference of above situations between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The modified RPH-4 combined with Xiaozhiling injection for grade Ⅲ hemorrhoids can achieve double solid and hemorrhoidal removal efficacy, which can further reduce the risk of complications after severe hemorrhoids modified RPH-4 alone treatment.

Anti-tumour chemotherapy agents (ATCA) have been widely used in the treatment of solid tumours, haematological disorders and other oncological diseases affecting the male reproductive system. ATCA caused cellular structural damage and functional abnormalities in the testes, epididymides and accessory gonads, resulting in reduced sperm concentration, viability, normal morphology and sperm DNA integrity. ATCA also led to lower levels of testosterone and inhibin B, which affects fertility. ATCA have different adverse effects on pre- and post-pubertal male patients. This paper reviews the mechanisms of damage to the testis, epididymis and accessory gonads by ATCA and the characteristics of the effects on male reproductive system before and after puberty.

BACKGROUND:The pedicle navigation template has many advantages,but there are still some problems.For example,poor soft tissue dissection leads to poor adhesion of the pedicle navigation template,resulting in screw path deviation;careful dissection of soft tissue to fit the pedicle navigation template leads to prolonged surgery time and increased bleeding;the design of the pedicle navigation template cannot predict the vertebral rotation and the impact of body position changes,resulting in the poor fitting. OBJECTIVE:To explore the utility of a new 5-point positioning point-contact pedicle navigation template in the case of scoliosis and complex pedicle. METHODS:A total of 20 patients with scoliosis and complicated pedicle admitted to the Department of Spinal Surgery,Guizhou Hospital,Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from February 2020 to February 2023 were selected for scoliosis orthopedics.During the operation,the 5-point positioning point-contact pedicle navigation template was used to guide the screws.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,34 cases were matched as the empirical nail placement group,and conventional barehanded nail placement was performed.The time of placement,the amount of bleeding,the number of fluoroscopies,the number of manual diversions,the level and accuracy of pedicle screws,the complications of placement,and the rate of correction of main curvature were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were no significant differences in sex,age,coronal Cobb's angle of the main curvature,bending Cobb's angle of the main curvature,pedicle variation,apex rotation,fusion segment,number of screws,level of screws,accuracy of screws,and rate of correction of main curvature between the navigation template group and the empirical nail placement group(P>0.05).(2)Compared with the empirical nail placement group,the navigation template group had more advantages in time of placement(P=0.034),amount of bleeding(P=0.036),number of fluoroscopies(P=0.000)and number of manual diversions(P=0.021).(3)There were 0 cases of screw-related complications in both groups.(4)In conclusion,the 5-point positioning point-contact 3D printing pedicle navigation template has a claw-like structure.It can firmly adapt to various deformities of the lamina articular process,avoid drift,and accurately place the screws.It has a point-like contact lamina structure to avoid extensive and complete dissection of the posterior structure,and reduce bleeding,operation time,and trauma.Pre-designed screw entry points and directions can reduce the number of fluoroscopy and operation time.Segmental design can avoid discomfort due to changes in anesthesia position.The operation is simple and the accuracy of screw placement is high.
