Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous trans-hepatic choledochoscopic lithotripsy (PTCSL) in the treatment of recurrent hepatobiliary calculi under enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) mode.Methods:Clinical data of 88 patients with recurrent hepatobiliary calculi, who were treated with PTCSL at Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between June 2022 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 34 males and 54 females, aged (52.0±13.8) years. The scheme includes preoperative education, prophylactic antibiotic application, ensuring the quality of surgery, early postoperative feeding and activity, etc. The operation can be divided into two fashions: percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage and PTCSL, which can be completed in one stage (one-stage expansion method) or in two stages (staged expansion method). Clinical data such as gender, age, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, residual stone, and surgical complications were recorded.Results:All 88 patients underwent PTCSL under ERAS mode successfully, including 52 cases using one-stage expansion method and 36 cases using staged expansion method. The operative time was (53±20) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (9.7±3.8) ml, the postoperative hospital stay was (3.6±1.7) d, and the hospitalization cost was (17 500±4 700) yuan. Sixty-nine patients (78.4%, 69/88) had one-time stone removal in the first PTCSL. A total of 19 cases of residual stones were managed again by percutaneous sinus soft choledochoscopy, of which 12 cases were managed by one-time choledochoscopy, five cases by two-time choledochoscopy, and two cases by three-time choledochoscopy. The rate of residual stone was significantly higher in one-stage expansion method compared to staged expansion method [28.8% (15/52) vs. 11.1% (4/36), P=0.040]. No death, conversion to open surgery, or severe complications such as intra-abdominal hemorrhage or bile leakage occurred in the patients. No residual stones or recurrence were found during the follow-ups of (7.5±2.1) months after discharge. Conclusion:PTCSL under ERAS mode is safe and effective in the treatment of recurrent hepatobiliary calculi.

Objective:To observe the correlation between retinal capillary density and retinal thickness in the macula and spherical equivalent (SE) in school-age children.Methods:A cross-sectional study. From May to December 2022, 182 school-age children who visited the ophthalmology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included. There were 95 males and 87 females. The age ranged from 6 to 12 years, and the spherical equivalent (SE) was +0.50 to -6.00 D. They were divided into three groups based on the SE of the right eyes: 54 eyes in emmetropia group (+0.50≤SE<-0.50 D), 71 eyes in low myopia group (-0.50≤SE<-3.00 D), and 57 eyes in moderate myopia group (-3.00≤SE≤-6.00 D). The macular area of 6 mm×6 mm was scanned using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography and was divided into three concentric rings centered on the fovea, including the macular central fovea (0-1 mm diameter), inner ring (1-3 mm diameter) and outer ring (3-6 mm diameter). The retinal thickness and blood flow density of superficial vascular plexus (SVP) and deep vascular plexus (DVP) in different zones within 6 mm of the macular area were measured. The relationships between SE and SVP, DVP and retinal thickness in each ring region were investigated by univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses, smooth curve fitting, and threshold effects.Results:There were significant differences in the SVP ( F=6.64, 26.06, 22.69) and DVP ( F=7.97, 25.01, 5.09) of macular central fovea, inner ring and outer ring among the emmetropia, low myopia and moderate myopia groups ( P<0.05). Univariate linear regression analysis showed that the SVP ( β=-0.56,-1.17, -0.79) and DVP ( β=-1.03, -0.93, -0.45) of the three regions were positively correlated with SE ( P<0.05). After smooth curve fitting, threshold effect analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis, the SVP and DVP in the macular central fovea were linearly positively correlated with SE ( β=-0.91, -1.40; P<0.05), and SVP and DVP in the inner ring and outer ring showed an inverted U-shaped curve relationship with SE with the inflection (<3.00 D). When the SE was less than <3.00 D, the SVP and DVP in the inner ring and outer ring were positively correlated with SE ( P<0.05). When the SE was higher than -3.00 D, except for the DVP in the inner ring region, the other parameters were negatively correlated with SE ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in retinal thickness of the inner ring and outer ring ( F=5.47, 16.36; P<0.05), and no significant difference in the macular central fovea among the emmetropia, low and moderate myopia groups ( F=2.16, P>0.05). By using univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses, the retinal thickness in the inner ring and outer ring were negatively correlated with SE ( β =1.99, 3.05; P<0.05). However, no correlation was found between retinal thickness and SE in the macular central fovea ( β=-1.65, P>0.05). Conclusions:In school-age children with SE between +0.50 D and -6.00 D, the retinal capillaries density of the macular central fovea gradually increase, and increase first and then decrease in the inner ring and outer ring with increasing SE. The retinal thickness of inner ring and outer ring gradually decrease and not change significantly in the macular central fovea.

Objective:To explore the significance of laparoscopic virtual reality simulation training by analyzing the learning curve of laparoscopic cholecystectomy among young general surgeons who had participated in laparoscopic skills training at our hospital.Methods:Fifty young surgeons were divided into two groups, with the intervention group participating in virtual reality simulation training and the control group participating in traditional laparoscopic clinical training. After completion of the training, 30 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed under the supervision of highly qualified surgeons with extensive laparoscopic experience. CUSUM analysis was applied to plot the trainees' surgical learning curve based on the completion rate, surgical score and operative time. " x" is the number of surgical cases and " k" is the slope. The value of x when k=0 was calculated and the surgical learning curves and intraoperative scores of the 2 groups of trainees were compared. SPSS 23.00 was performed for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The intervention and control groups crossed the surgical learning curve at x=19.24±0.39 and x=21.72±0.73 respectively, with significant differences ( P<0.01); the intervention and control groups scored (10.82±2.73) and (9.71±2.69) for gallbladder exposure ( t=4.61, P<0.01), (12.59±3.12) and (8.87±2.99) for gallbladder dissection triangle ( t=6.21, P<0.01), and (10.69±3.38) and (8.80±3.55) for gallbladder dissection ( t=3.10, P<0.01). Conclusions:Virtual reality simulation training can facilitate the translation of basic laparoscopic training skills into clinical skills and can promote the growth of young general surgeons.

Objective To study traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome pattern of astronauts in long term spaceflight,and to summarize and elucidate the characteristics and evolvement of their holistic functional status based on TCM Pattern Identification and Classification System.Methods The Digital TCM Diagnostic Instrument and TCM Syndrome Diagnosis Scale were used to collect information from 9 astronauts in three manned missions of China Space Station,through diagnostic methods of observation,palpation and inquiry according to CM theory.Data collection was performed at various stages before,during,and after spaceflight,a total of 32 person-time digital images of tongues and facial complexion and over 2 000 data were collected.Through data mining and analysis using four diagnostic feature fusion methods,the distribution characteristics of TCM pattern among astronauts at different stages of flight and with different physical constitutions were proposed,and the health status and evolution trend of astronauts were evaluated based on the health concept of TCM.Results ⑴The astronauts showed related manifestations of 8 TCM syndromes during long term flight,among which 4 syndromes had higher scores,including Liver Depression Transforming into Fire,Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency,Heart Kidney Disharmony,and Spleen and Kidney Yang Deficiency.However,their syndrome differentiation were mainly based on Yin and Yang in equilibrium,with only a few individuals showing a brief deviation from the equilibrium state at a certain stage.After long-term adaptation and adjustment,they almost had returned to a state of Yin-Yang equilibrium reestablishment.⑵As the flight time increased,the proportion of Liver Depression Transforming into Fire and Qi and Blood Deficiency in Heart and Spleen syndrome increased month by month,indicating that the psychological and emotional changes and insufficient Qi and blood status during long term flight need to be focused on.⑶Physical constitution had a certain impact on the syndrome patterns during flight,the astronauts with biased constitutions had significantly higher total scores for all syndrome patterns than that of individuals with Normal-constitution,astronauts with Yin deficiency had slightly higher scores for Heart Kidney Disharmony than those with Yang(Qi)deficiency,indicating that personalized TCM conditioning measures should be developed based on the pathogenesis of TCM syndrome during different flight periods,combined with factors such as physical constitution,etc.Conclusion The research has verified the scientific nature and effectiveness of TCM pattern analysis based on"four diagnostic"methods,which could be used for achieving quantitative and comprehensive evaluation of astronaut health status from the perspective of TCM in long-term space flight.

Objective:To study the predictive value of Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) staging system combined with albumin-indocyanine green (ALICE) score (ALICE-BCLC) in hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma, and compare it with BCLC staging system combined with Child-Pugh score (CP-BCLC).Methods:The clinical data of 311 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent hepatectomy at Jinhua Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University from April 2012 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 271 males and 40 females, with a median age of 59 years old (range 26 to 92 years old). These patients were divided into two groups based on the ALICE-BCLC: the ALICE-BCLC grade 0 group ( n=63) and the ALICE-BCLC grade A group ( n=248); and another two groups based on the CP-BCLC: the CP-BCLC grade 0 group ( n=58) and the CP-BCLC grade A group ( n=253). The clinical data, including indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min, and albumin were collected and the scores were calculated. Follow-up was conducted by combining outpatient visits with telephone calls. The survival rate was calculated by the life method, and survival curves were drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method. The multivariate Cox regression model was used to determine the main factors affecting prognosis. Weighted Kappa was used to compare consistency of the two staging systems. Results:Multivariate analysis showed that a maximum tumor diameter >5 cm, total bilirubin >18 μmol/L, major hepatectomy, CP-BCLC grade A and ALICE-BCLC grade A to be independent risk factors affecting overall survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after liver resection with curative intent (all P<0.05). The median survival of patients in the CP-BCLC grade 0 group and the CP-BCLC grade A group were 43.0 and 28.0 months, respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.017). The median survival of patients in the ALICE-BCLC grade 0 group and the ALICE-BCLC grade A group were 41.4 and 28.1 months, respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.035). The weighted Kappa coefficient of ALICE-BCLC and CP-BCLC was 0.949, showing a strong consistency ( P<0.001). Conclusion:ALICE-BCLC showed a good predictive value for prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver resection, and it had a similar overall prognostic discrimination ability as CP-BCLC.

Objective:To investiagte the ability of albumin-indocyanine green (ALICE) score, albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score and Child-Pugh score in predicting postoperative liver failure (PHLF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and to determine the clinical value of ALICE score.Methods:The clinical data of 397 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent hepatectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Jinhua Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University from June 2015 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 350 males and 47 females, aged (58.9±11.2) years. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of PHLF. The predictive ability of ALICE score for PHLF was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and compared with ALBI score and Child-Pugh score.Results:There were 74 patients with PHLF and 323 patients without PHLF. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Child-Pugh score ( OR=1.630, 95% CI: 1.251-2.486, P=0.034), ALBI score ( OR=1.863, 95% CI: 1.028-3.119, P=0.049) and ALICE score ( OR=1.759, 95% CI: 1.216-3.078, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for PHLF in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and the risk of PHLF increased with the increase of grade. The area under the ROC curve of ALICE score predicting PHLF in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma was 0.613 (95% CI: 0.564-0.662), the area under the ALBI score was 0.612 (95% CI: 0.563-0.661), and the area under the Child-Pugh score was 0.555 (95% CI: 0.505-0.605). The ALICE score was better than the Child-Pugh score, and the difference was statistically significant ( z=2.04, P=0.041). In small liver resection patients, ALICE score was better than Child-Pugh score ( z=2.61, P=0.009). There was no significant difference betwenn ALICE score and ALBI score ( z=0.06, P=0.954). Conclusion:ALICE score can predict the occurrence of PHLF in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, especially in patients with small liver resection, its value is similar to ALBI score, but better than Child-Pugh score.
