Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of biliary neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 36 patients who underwent surgical treatment for biliary NENs at The First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2013 to December 2023 were collected. There were 22 males and 14 females, aged (59±9)years. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopatholo-gical characteristics of patients; (2) follow-up; (3) prognostic factors analysis of patients. Compari-son of measurement data with normal distribution among multiple groups was conducted using the ANOVA. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution among multiple groups was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and plot survival curve, and Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. The Cox risk regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Clinicopatholo-gical characteristics of patients. None of the 36 patients with biliary NENs had carcinoid syndrome. There were 11 cases with tumor located at gallbladder, 14 cases with tumor located at bile duct, and 11 cases with tumor located at ampulla of Vater. There were significant differences in weight loss and TNM stage among biliary NENs patients with different tumor location ( χ2=9.14, 6.54, P<0.05). Of the 36 patients, there were 12 cases with neuroendocrine tumors, 16 cases with neuroendocrine carcinomas, and 8 cases with mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms. (2) Follow-up. All 36 patients were followed up for 39(range, 10-93)months. Of the 36 patients, 19 patients experienced tumor recurrence and 16 patients experienced tumor metastasis. There were 18 patients died. The median overall survival time of 36 patients was 30 months, with the 1-, 2-, 3-year overall survival rates of 63.9%, 51.0%, and 35.7%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, 3-year recurrence-free survival rates were 47.5%, 34.1% and 21.3%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, 3-year overall survival rates of 19 patients with tumor recurrence were 55.6%, 55.6% and 27.8%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, 3-year overall survival rates of 17 patients without tumor recurrence were 71.3%, 50.4% and 42.0%, respectively. There was no significant difference in overall survival between patients with and without tumor recurrence ( χ2=0.24, P>0.05). (3) Prognostic factors analysis of patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that pathological type as neuroendocrine carcinomas and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms, non-R 0 margin were independent risk factors influencing overall survival time of patients ( hazard ratio=5.50, 5.33, 14.04, 95% confidence interval as 1.32-23.01, 1.17-24.35, 2.67-73.79, P<0.05). Conclusions:Biliary NENs lack specific clinical manifestations. Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas are the most common pathological type. Pathological type as neuroendocrine carcinomas and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms, non-R 0 margin are independent risk factors influencing prognosis of patients.

Medical ultrasound technology is widely used for diagnosis and therapy in clinical practice.Ultrasound probes,which are directly contact with patients,pose a potential risk of pathogen transmission.This expert consen-sus was developed by a multidisciplinary team based on international guidelines,standards in China,and the results of a national survey,aiming to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infection through standardizing reprocessing of medical ultrasound probes,and formulating consensus recommendations with the Delphi method.The consensus clarifies the reprocessing principles for three types of ultrasound probes of different infection risks:external-use ul-trasound probes,interventional percutaneous ultrasound probes,and internal-use ultrasound probes,puts forward systematic suggestions on the reprocessing standards and disinfection levels of ultrasound probe isolation covers and coupling agents,the reprocessing procedures and methods of ultrasound probes,as well as architectural layout and management of reprocessing,so as to provide a scientific prevention and control framework for ensuring ultrasound diagnosis and therapy safety.

AIM:To observe the effect of opioid-free anesthesia with esketamine on delirium after hip replacement surgery in elderly patients.METH-ODS:One hundred and fourteen elderly patients who underwent hip replacement were randomly di-vided into two groups:opioid-free anesthesia(OFA)group and opioid anesthesia(OA)group(n=57).During anesthesia induction and maintenance,es-ketamine was administered in OFA group,and that fentanyl and remifentanil were administered in OA group.Delirium was mainly recorded within 3 days after the surgeries,and the patients'delirium sta-tus was evaluated using the Chinese Revised Deliri-um Diagnostic Scale(CAM-CR).RESULTS:The pa-tients in OFA group had lower CAM-CR scores and delirium incidence compared to those in the OA group at 2 days after surgery.CONCLUSION:Opioid-free anesthesia based on esketamine can effective-ly reduce delirium after hip replacement in elderly patients.

Robot-assisted surgery with its advantages such as three-dimensional high-definition vision, dexterous robotic arms, and tremor filtration, is increasingly being applied to complex radical gastrectomy. However, the role of the surgical assistant remains crucial during the procedure. The assistant is responsible for tasks outside the console, including adjusting robotic arms, changing instruments, exposing the surgical field, and addressing unexpected situations. The technical proficiency of the assistant and their collaboration efficiency with the primary surgeon directly impact the smoothness of surgery and patients' outcomes. With the expansion of robot-assisted surgical indications, the establishment of a standardized training system and the optimization of team collaboration models have become urgent challenges to address. This article draws on the author's practical experience as an assistant in robot-assisted gastric cancer surgeries, conducting an in-depth analysis of the responsibilities and operational skills of surgical assistants in robot-assisted procedures. The aim is to develop a relatively comprehensive set of operational guidelines for surgical assistants in robot-assisted radical gastrectomy, providing valuable references for enhancing the overall efficiency of surgical teams and improving surgical outcomes.

Objective This study aims to explore the impact of esketamine combined with hip pericapsular nerve block on perioperative stress reactions,immune function,cognitive function,and postoperative analgesic efficacy in elderly patients undergoing total hip replacement.Methods From February 2022 to February 2025,110 elderly patients who received total hip arthroplasty in the hospital were enrolled as the research participants.They were allocated into a control group and an observation group by means of a random number table,with 55 cases in each group.All patients received total hip arthroplasty.Patients in the control group were given 20 mL of ropivacaine combined with pericapsular nerve block anesthesia of the hip joint,while those in the observation group were given esketamine combined with pericapsular nerve block anesthesia of the hip joint.The blood pres-sure,heart rate(HR),oxygen saturation(SpO?),and respiratory rate(RR)of the two groups were compared at admission(T1),immediately after anesthesia(T2),skin incision(T3),30 minutes after surgery initiation(T4),incision suture(T5),and immediately after surgery completion(T6).Both groups underwent detection,assess-ment,and comparison of immune function indices,serum stress markers,and cognitive function scores before the operation and 3 days post-surgery.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)pain scores at 3,6,and 9 hours after surgery were contrasted between the two groups.Additionally,statistical analysis was performed on the incidence of adverse reactions in both groups.Results The HR,mean arterial pressure(MAP),SpO?,RR,and bispectral index(BIS)of the two groups from T1 to T6 were compared using repeated measures analysis of variance.The results showed that:(1)There were statistically significant differences in HR,MAP,SpO?,and BIS at different time points(F=118.378,70.002,44.910,242.439,all P<0.001).(2)There were statistically significant differences in HR,MAP,SpO?,and BIS between the observation group and the control group(F=206.643,195.586,93.077,3.953,P<0.001,P<0.001,P<0.001,P=0.049).(3)There were statistically significant differences in the changing trends of HR,MAP,SpO?,RR,and BIS between the two groups(F=18.583,14.158,23.350,4.883,6.698,all P<0.001).At 3 days after surgery,the levels of CD4? and CD4?/CD8? in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and cortisol in the observation group were lower than those in the control group during surgery and immediately after surgery(P<0.05).The Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)scores and Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)scores of both groups decreased 3 days after surgery,and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The VAS pain scores of the observation group at 3,6,9 and 12 hours after surgery were lower than those of the control group.The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(12.73%vs.29.09%,P<0.05).Conclusion Esketamine combined with pericapsular nerve block of the hip joint can significantly inhibit the perioperative stress response in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty,optimize the postoperative anal-gesic effect,and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of silane and universal adhesive alone or in combination on the micro-shear bonding strength(μSBS)between resin cement and resin nanoceramic(Brilliant Crios)and polymer-infiltrated ceramic network(Vita Enam-ic)materials.Methods:The two experimental material blocks were respectively prepared into 42 specimens with a size of 7 mm×6 mm×1 mm,and 50 μm alumina particles were used for sandblasting pretreatment under 0.2 MPa atmospheric pressure.The speci-mens were randomly divided into 6 groups,and the following surface treatment strategies were applied except for control group:si-lane,universal adhesive with silane(single bond universal,SBU);universal adhesive without silane(One Coat 7 Universal,OCU),silane and SBU,silane and OCU.Water contact angle measurements were used to observe the wettability of the 2 materials before and after silane treatment.The bonded specimens were prepared to test μSBS,which were analyzed by Weibull and the failure modes and were observed by stereo microscope.The morphology of the bonding interface was observed by SEM before and after si-lane treatment.Results:After the two materials were treated with silane,the water contact angle decreased(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of μSBS between the silane and control groups for Brilliant Crios(P＞0.05),while the μSBS improved in the other experimental groups(P＜0.05).Among the groups,silane+OCU group exhibited the highest Weibull modulus and charac-teristic strength.The μSBS of the experimental groups was increased compared with the Vita Enamic control group(P＜0.05),silane+SBU group demonstrated the highest Weibull modulus and characteristic strength.Conclusion:Silane can improve the wetta-bility of the interface,and it alone improves the μSBS of Vita Enamic,but does not improve the μSBS of Brilliant Crios.The com-bined use of silane and universal adhesive enhances the μSBS between resin-ceramic composites and resin cement.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective:This multicenter retrospective study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) and identify prognostic factors for postoperative survival.Methods:Demographic characteristics, clinicopathological features, treatment outcomes and survival of DA patients undergoing surgical treatment at 18 Chinese medical centers from January 2012 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 2 056 DA patients included, 46.8% (963) had extra-ampullary DA (EA-DA), and 53.2% (1 093) had peri-ampullary DA (PA-DA). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for patients who underwent radical surgery were 93.2%, 71.0%, and 57.2%, respectively. The median overall survival was 76 months, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 65 months. No differences in survival were observed between the laparotomy group and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) group either before or after propensity score matching (OS: 76 vs. 75 months before PSM, P=0.986; OS: 75 vs. 75 months after PSM, P=0.602). Furthermore, there were no significant differences between-group in operation time and postoperative complications ( P＞0.05). The MIS group experienced less intraoperative blood loss and shorter hospital stays. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that advanced age ( HR=1.43,95% CI:1.18-1.73), elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels ( HR=1.24,95% CI:1.02-1.51), perineural invasion ( HR=1.44,95% CI:1.14-1.81), vascular invasion ( HR=1.35,95% CI:1.07-1.71), advanced T stage (T3-4 vs. T1-2: HR=1.86,95% CI:1.49-2.31), regional lymph node metastasis ( HR=1.93,95% CI:1.58-2.36), preoperative biliary drainage ( HR=1.26,95% CI:1.04-1.53), intraoperative blood loss ( HR=1.34,95% CI:1.11-1.62), clinically significant postoperative pancreatic fistulas ( HR=1.53,95% CI:1.12-2.09), and postoperative hemorrhage ( HR=1.62,95% CI:1.14-2.29) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis after surgery (all P＜0.05). Conclusions:Radical surgery is associated with favorable overall survival among DA patients, and no difference in survival is observed between EA-DA and PA-DA patients. MIS is a reliable alternative for DA treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic abacterial pros-tafitis(CAP),the CAP related factors were analyzed,and a risk prediction model for CAP were constructed and validated.Methods The clinical dataes of 252 suspected CAP patients admitted to the hospital from June 2022 to December 2024 were collected,the patients were divided into modeling set(ni=177)and validation set(n=75)by 7∶3 ratio.Based on the modeling set dataes,the Lasso was used to screen CAP related predictive factors,a logistic multiple factor model was used to analyze the independent influence factors of CAP and a risk prediction model was constructed.The validation set patient dataes were used to plot ROC and DCA and validate the predic-tion model.Results There were 86 cases of CAP in the modeling set,accounting for 48.59％;32 cases of CAP in the validation set,accounting for 42.67％.The Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that BMI,waist to hip ratio,abnormal elevation of IL-8,COX-2,and PGE2 in prostate fluid were independent influence factors of CAP(P＜0.05),a Nomogram column chart based on this was established.The ROC analysis showed that the sensitivity of the model for detecting CAP in the modeling and validation sets were 0.814 and 0.802,respectively,and the specificity were 0.673 and 0.703,respectively.The DCA analysis showed that the net benefit thresholds for model-ing and validation sets by column charts are 0.1～0.9 and 0.2～1.0,respectively.Conclusions The occurrence of CAP is related to the patient's BMI,waist to hip ratio,the levels of IL-8,COX-2,and PGE2 in prostate fluid.The predictive model established based on this is highly accurate and it can help for CAP screening.
