Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and surgical outcomes of adrenal hemolymphangioma,so as to enhance the understanding of this disease. Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 8 patients with adrenal hemolymphangioma admitted to the Department of Urology of our hospital during Jan.2013 and Dec.2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and relevant literature was reviewed. Results: The patients included 5 males and 3 female,median age 54(25-75) years.Adrenal hemolymphangioma was detected in all patients in physical examinations without obvious symptoms.And 4 of the patients had a history of hypertension.Adrenal function test results showed no abnormalities.A total of 9 tumors were identified by imaging examination,including 1 unilateral multiple and 7 unilateral solitary tumors,with a median diameter of 3.6(1.0-5.4) cm.Posterior laparoscopic adrenal tumor resection was performed in 7 cases and robot-assisted laparoscopic adrenal tumor resection in 1 case；all of the tumors were completely removed.The median operation time was 77(53-115) min,median intraoperative blood loss 7.5(2.0-20.0) mL,and median postoperative hospital stay 4(1-7) d.Postoperative pathology showed interwoven deformed and dilated blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the cystic tumors,with a large amount of lymphoid fluid,lymphocytes and red blood cells.Chronic lymphocyte infiltration was visible between the tube walls.The cystic cavity was partially connected,with flat endothelial cells lining.The pathological diagnosis was adrenal hemolymphangioma.During the median follow-up of 53.5(12.0-106.8) months,all patients recovered well,with stable blood pressure and no tumor recurrence or metastasis. Conclusion: Adrenal hemolymphangioma has no specific clinical symptoms.As adrenal functional tests show no obvious abnormalities,the diagnosis depends on pathological examinations.Popsterior laparoscopic or robot-assisted laparoscopic resection has good efficacy and prognosis.

Objective This study investigated feasible cases and their significance in promoting the"generalized"development of inspection through digital-intelligent equipment.Methods A qualitative research approach was used,involving interviews conducted between February 2025 and March 2025 with experts in traditional Chinese medicine diagnostics,clinical research methodology,medical engineering integration,and related disciplines,using both online and offline methods.In accordance with the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research,feasible cases involving the specific application of digital equipment in various parts of observation were collected through item enrichment.The significance of extending observation capabilities via these cases was analyzed,along with the overall implications of integrating digital technologies with traditional inspection method.Results Interviews were completed with 11 experts from domestic universities and research institutes in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis,medical engineering integration,and related disciplines.A total of 78 feasible cases of digital-intelligent inspection were identified,along with 69 insights regarding the significance of enhancing the inspection capabilities.These insights were synthesized into two dimensions and 23 holistic meanings.The first dimension is to expand the scope of inspection,including obtaining internal environmental characteristics,observing external environmental characteristics,expanding thermodynamic characteristic data,and crossing time and space.The second dimension is to improve the quality of observation and diagnosis information collection and analysis,including 19 specific meanings,such as standardized collection environment,objective quantification,and refined observation.Conclusion Digital-intelligent equipment plays a significant role in expanding the scope of inspection content and achieving high-quality acquisition and analysis of extensive inspection information.These advancements extend and enrich the capabilities of traditional inspection method in traditional Chinese medicine.

The historical evolution of the fire-processing of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata(Fuzi)was explored by literature research and the re-practice of ancient processing method.The literature research showed that the Han Dynasty was the beginning of fire-processing of Fuzi,and the processing techniques of Fuzi varied.During the Jin and Tang Dynasties,ash fire was preferred for fire-processing techniques;in the Song Dynasty,the concept of fully-processing and the method of macerating Fuzi with liquid before fire-processing appeared;in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties,the processing criterion of presenting yellow color inside and outside and the remedial methods after fire-processing were put forward;in the Ming Dynasty,the techniques of water-macerating,fire-processing,slicing and baking became the mainstream,and the Qing Dynasty further refined the techniques in terms of process details.After the founding of the People's Republic of China,the sand-scalding technique developed from the local processing experiences and standards has disengaged from the ancient methods.The literature evidence and the re-practice of ancient processing method revealed that the traditional fire-processing techniques on Fuli such as ash-fire-processing,water-macerating before fire-processing,and quenching after fire-processing,are all about the control of temperature and processing time and the criterion of presenting yellow color inside and outside.For the preparation of Fuzi standard in the formulas containing Fuzi,it is recommended to process Fuzi at the temperature of simulated hot ashes in an oven,and the standard should be uniformly yellow after processing.

[Objective] To investigate the efficacy of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for the treatment of renal sinus angiomyolipoma and summarize the surgical experience. [Methods] The clinical data and follow-up results of 10 cases of renal sinus angiomyolipoma treated during Sep.2014 and Feb.2022 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. [Results] The patients included 1 male and 9 female.The mean tumor diameter was (5.7±2.8) cm.The RENAL score was 8 in 1 case, 9 in 3 cases, 10 in 4 cases, and 11 in 2 cases.Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was conducted in 3 cases, robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in 3 cases, and open partial nephrectomy by transabdominal approach in 4 cases.All operations were successful.The median operation time was 225 (97-340) minutes and the median warm ischemic time was 30.5 (5-43) minutes.Two patients underwent renal vein clamping simultaneously, with clamping time of 18 and 29 minutes, respectively.The median estimated blood loss was 200(10-600) mL, and no patients received blood transfusion.The difference between postoperative and preoperative hemoglobin concentration was statistically significant [113 (94-130) g/L vs.136 (95-150) g/L, P=0.041]. The difference between the postoperative and preoperative serum creatinine level was not statistically significant [58(35-89) μmol/L vs. 62(39-77) μmol/L, P=0.722]. One case suffered lymphorrhagia (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ) and recovered with conservative treatment; 1 case experienced local recurrence after a follow-up of 99 months; 9 patients recovered uneventfully without any postoperative complications. [Conclusion] NSS is an effective treatment strategy for renal sinus angiomyolipoma.Complete resection plays a key role.Due to possible recurrence, long-term follow-up is recommended.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT simulation localization in radiotherapy of recurrent abdominal and pelvic tumors. Methods ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT was used to simulate positioning 38 patients with abdominal and pelvic tumors who relapsed after treatment.Based on both CT images and ¹⁸F-FDG PRT-CT, we drew up a systemic treatment plan and outlined the radiotherapy target area, and then compared the differences between the two methods. Results In 38 patients, 21.1%(3/8) of patients were found to have distal metastases outside the pelvic and abdominal cavity, and changed the systemic treatment plan.The radiotherapy target was altered in 34(89.5%) patients.The mean value of GTV_PET-CT was 118.14cm³and the mean value of GTV_CT was 148.53cm³(P=0.044). Conclusion For patients with recurrent abdominal and pelvic tumors, ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT simulation localization treatment improves tumor re-staging, changes the integrated therapy for some patients, and makes the target area of radiotherapy more accurate.
