Objective:To develop a skeleton structure for the flexible manipulator of a robotic system used in natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), meeting the performance requirements of surgical actuators.Methods:A flexible manipulator structure and a control strategy for the corresponding structure were designed based on metal braiding technology. Geometric relationship formulas were derived according to the mechanical structure characteristics of the flexible manipulator. A theoretical model was established using the chained beam-constraint-model (CBCM) and mechanical spring theory. The finite element model of the mechanical structure was established, and simulation analysis was performed to verify the accuracy of the theoretical model. The bending stiffness of the metal-braided structure was tested to verify the load capacity of the flexible manipulator.Results:A flexible manipulator structure and a control strategy for the corresponding structure were designed based on metal braiding technology. With proper constraints, the maximum strain of the metal ring as a single stressed unit was about 1.49% when subjected to an axial force of 0.5 N. At this time, the material was in the linear elastic phase and the maximum deformation was about 0.308 9 mm, which was 3.26% higher than the theoretical value. The maximum strain of the manipulator skeleton was about 0.21% in the linear elastic phase. The maximum total deformation was about 7.135 5 mm, which was 6.30% higher than the theoretical value. The flexural stiffness of the manipulator skeleton was calculated to be 3.19 N·mm 2, which was comparable to a flexible manipulator made of shape memory polymers (SMPs) of the same magnitude and size. Conclusions:A skeleton structure for application to NOTES robotic flexible manipulators is developed that meets the support stiffness requirements for performing NOTES surgical tasks.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of moderate-dose glucocorticoid treatment in patients with advanced thymoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 56 patients with thymoma who received glucocorticoid treatment at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2018 to March 2023. Among them, there were 33 males and 23 females; aged from 28 to 72 years old, with a median age of(43.8±11.2)years old. There were 16 cases of type B1 thymoma, 23 cases of type B2, and 17 cases of type B3. There were 17 cases with myasthenia gravis and 1 case with pure red blood cell aplasia. All patients had received radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Patients received moderate-dose glucocorticoid treatment(50 mg/day), and tumor response was evaluated by CT scan after 2 weeks of treatment. The tumor treatment effect and adverse reactions were recorded.Results:Among the patients, 22 cases achieved partial remission, and 3 cases achieved complete remission, resulting in an overall objective response rate (ORR) of 44.6%. Among them, 23 patients had type B2 thymoma, with 17 achieving partial remission and 3 achieving complete remission, resulting in an ORR of 87.0%. Among the 16 patients with type B1 thymoma, 5 achieved partial remission. No efficacy was observed in 17 patients with type B3 thymoma. The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 26 months, and 2 patients experienced thymoma recurrence.Conclusion:Moderate-dose glucocorticoid treatment demonstrates effective and safe outcomes in advanced or invasive thymoma, particularly for the treatment of type B2 thymoma.

Objective:Analyzed the clinicopathological features of thymoma with alopecia areata, and discussed the pathogenesis and treatment methods.Methods:The clinicopathologic data of patients with thymoma who underwent surgery from August 1, 2015 to July 31, 2020 in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University were reviewed. Transversally analyzed the patients of thymoma with alopecia areata and longitudinally compared with the patients of thymoma without alopecia areata after 1﹕10 matched by propensity score matching.Results:A total of 252 patients of thymoma were enrolled, including 6 patients with alopecia areata, accounting for 2.38%. The anti-AchR antibody, CD4 + /CD8 + T inversion in serum and myasthenia gravis were present in the all 6 thymoma patients with alopecia areata, which were significantly higher than those in the group of thymoma without alopecia areata. Besides myasthenia gravis, the proportion of complicated with other autoimmune diseases in thymoma patients with alopecia areata was significantly higher than that of thymoma patients without alopecia areata[83.33%(5/6) vs. 20.00%(12/60), P=0.003]. After operation, 5 patients’ alopecia areata were improved in 6 thymoma patients with alopecia areata(83.33%, 5/6). Conclusion:The thymoma patients with alopecia areata always complicated with myasthenia gravis and other autoimmune diseases. The pathogenesis may be associated with autoimmune CD8 + T lymphocytes produced by thymoma. At present, surgery is still the most effective way to improve thymoma-associated alopecia areata.

Objective:To explore the effect of group education intervention strategy based on harmonious nursing theory on understanding and application of pelvic floor knowledge and exercise skills in first gestation women, so as to promote the early recovery of pelvic floor function in postpartum women.Methods:This study was a quasi-experimental study. A total of 80 first gestation women in the pregnant women′s school of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were selected as the research objects, 40 women from April to May 2023 were involved in the control group and 40 women from June to July 2023 were involved in the intervention group. The control group was given routine health education, while the intervention group was given group educational nursing intervention based on harmonious nursing theory. The Primary Prevention of Female Pelvic Floor Dysfunction-self-care Ability Scale was used to evaluate and compare the primary prevention self-care ability of pelvic floor dysfunction among pregnancy 1-4 weeks between the two groups before and after pregnancy intervention. Pelvic floor muscle strength was measured and pelvic floor function exercise compliance was evaluated during outpatient follow-up at 42-49 days postpartum (hereinafter referred to as postpartum 42 days) to evaluate and compare the rehabilitation effect of pelvic floor skills exercise between the two groups at 42 days postpartum.Results:Finally, the control group was (29.97 ± 3.68) years old involved 38 cases, and the intervention group was (29.79 ± 3.66) years old involved 38 cases. There was no significant difference in self-care ability score of primary prevention of pelvic floor dysfunction between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). After pregnancy intervention, the scores of self-care knowledge, self-care responsibility, self-care skills, self-regulation and total score of the intervention group were (58.13 ± 6.46), (11.73 ± 1.18), (10.16 ± 0.86), (29.21 ± 2.74) and (109.21 ± 8.92) points, respectively, which were higher than the control group (47.76 ± 4.25), (11.05 ± 1.09), (8.82 ± 1.78), (27.34 ± 2.18), (94.97 ± 6.46) points, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were - 8.26 - - 2.63, all P<0.05). In the intervention group, the maximum value of the fast muscle stage and the mean value of the slow muscle stage of the comparison of pelvic floor muscle strength between the two groups 42 days after delivery were 48.25(44.75, 53.45)μV and 31.00 (27.33, 34.23) μV, respectively, which were higher than the control group 36.80 (32.25, 44.28) μV and 22.40 (19.28, 25.88) μV, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( Z = - 4.98, - 5.37, both P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the average value of the pre-resting stage and the average value of the post-resting stage between the two groups ( P>0.05). Comparison of pelvic floor functional exercise compliance between the two groups showed that in the intervention group, the proportion of good compliance was 73.7% (28/38), and the proportion of general compliance was 26.3% (10/38), while in the control group, the proportion of general compliance was 86.8% (33/38) and the proportion of good compliance was 7.9% (3/38). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 = 34.46, P<0.01).

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of luteolin on osteogenic repair of bone defects. METHODS The targets and potential pathways of luteolin in the treatment of bone defects were screened by network pharmacology method， and then the top 2 targets were selected by Hub gene screening for molecular docking verification， with binding energy as the evaluation standard. In vitro experiments were conducted on rat bone mesenchymal stem cells （BMSC） and rat umbilical vein endothelial cells （RUVEC）. Phenotypic validation was performed using alkaline phosphatase staining， alizarin red S staining， and in vitro angiogenesis experiments. Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expressions of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase （PI3K） and protein kinase 1 （Akt1）， so as to validate the mechanism of luteolin on osteogenic differentiation of BMSC and angiogenesis of RUVEC in vitro. RESULTS The results of network pharmacology showed that the effects of luteolin on vascular formation and bone repair in bone defects were mainly related to Akt1， SRC， estrogen receptor 1， epidermal growth factor receptor， cyclooxygenase 2， matrix metalloproteinase 9 targets， and were closely related to PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The results of molecular docking showed that luteolin binding to Akt1 and SRC proteins was stable. The results of in vitro experiments showed that luteolin could significantly improve the expressions and activities of alkaline phosphatase in BMSC， increased the number of calcium salt deposits and calcified nodules， and promoted calcification of BMSC. Compared with luteolin 0 μmol/L group， the angiogenesis ability of RUVEC was enhanced significantly in luteolin 1， 10 μmol/L groups， the length of blood vessels and the protein expressions of PI3K and Akt1 were significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the higherthe concentration， the better the effect. CONCLUSIONS Luteolin may play a role in promoting angiogenesis and bone repair at the fracture site by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and promoting the protein expressions of PI3K and Akt1.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of two-way referral service in referral and treatment of patients with coronary disease.Methods:A non-randomized controlled study was used, 80 patients with coronary disease who were referred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University through the fast referral channel, also called green referral channel (GRC) of telemedicine service mode from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected as the GRC referral group. A propensity score was used to match 110 patients from the same period with coronary disease who were referred to this hospital through conventional medical channels and had similar basic conditions such as age, gender, region and medical insurance type as the conventional referral group. The differences in disease severity, referral time, hospitalization cost and other indicators were compared using t-test, χ2 test and nonparametric test between the two groups, and the satisfaction of the GRC referral group was investigated. Results:The proportion of patients with heart function grade Ⅲ (NYHA grading), heart failure, atrial fibrillation and interventional therapy in the GRC referral group was significantly higher than conventional referral group (all P<0.05). The total referral time and bed waiting time of patients in the GRC referral group were significantly shorter than conventional referral group [14.16 (9.62, 25.61) vs 34.39 (28.51, 49.68) h, 2.13 (0.83, 6.64) vs 24.58 (20.27, 27.68) h] ( Z=8.465, 9.172, all P<0.001). The hospitalization cost, surgical treatment cost and material cost in GRC referral group were significantly higher than conventional referral group [24 755 (11 559, 56 521) vs 14 700 (9 375, 29 534) CNY, 6 013 (2 096, 8 256) vs 2 562 (2 044, 6 154) CNY, 12 093 (1 267, 35 689) vs 1 329 (826, 16 125) CNY] ( Z=2.814, 2.917, 3.353, all P<0.05), and the diagnosis cost was significantly lower than conventional referral group [4 878 (3 628, 6 847) vs 5 719 (4 228, 7 639) CNY] ( Z=2.323, P<0.05). In the GRC referral group, the satisfaction rates with referral process, visit time and patient experience were all above 90%. Conclusion:Two-way referral service based on telemedicine has a good application effect in the referral and treatment of patients with coronary disease.

Objective:To explore the prognostic risk factors of thymoma patients after resection, and establish a novel nomogram to predict progression free survival(PFS) of patients with thymoma.Methods:A retrospectively analysis was performed on clinicopathological datas of 267 cases of thymoma patients underwent thymoma resection in Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019. The univariate and multivariate Cox risk ratio models were used to analyze the related factors that might affect PFS, and the prediction nomogram of PFS after thymoma resection was established using the screened independent risk factors. Then the predictive ability of the model was evaluated. Results:The univariate analysis showed that age, type of surgery, completeness of resection, WHO histologic classification, TNM stage and postoperative adjuvant therapy were significantly correlated with PFS after thymoma resection( P<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that only age and TNM stage were independent prognostic factors affecting PFS after thymoma resection( P<0.05). The concordance index( C- index) of the prediction model for the prognosis of thymoma patients established by this method was 0.866(95% CI: 0.809-0.923), which had remarkable predictive efficiency. Conclusion:The nomogram model is constructed and verified based on age and TNM stage, excluding the interference of other clinicopathological factors on prognosis assessment, and which is convenient for clinicians to quickly and individually evaluate the prognosis of patients after thymoma resection.
