Objective:To evaluate the feasibility, safety and effects of tumor resection in the anterior space of the styloid process via transoral endoscopic medial parapterygomandibular ligament approach. Methods:This retrospective study included 24 patients who were diagnosed with tumors in the anterior space of the styloid process and treated with the transoral endoscopic medial parapterygomandibular ligament approach. Twenty-four patients who underwent surgery by traditional approach were selected on a 1∶1 ratio as control group. We compared the en bloc resection rate, the operation time, amount of blood loss, the postoperative pain VAS score, recurrence rate, length of hospital stay, complication rate between the two groups. Results:Among the 24 patients, pleomorphic adenoma was confirmed in 18 cases （75.0%）, basal cell adenoma in 2 cases （8.3%）, and neurilemmoma in 4 cases （16.7%）. In the transoral endoscopic group, the en bloc resection rate was 91.7%, the maximum tumor diameter was （42.2±12.2） mm, the operative time was （117.9±29.8）min, the blood loss was （36.7±18.7） mL, the postoperative pain VAS score （1.5±0.7）, no recurrence was observed, length of hospital stay was （10.8±2.9） d. Wound dehiscence occurred in one case in the transoral endoscopic group, and no other postoperative complication was observed. There were significant differences in the operation time, blood loss, the postoperative pain VAS score between the two groups, while no difference was found in gender, age, en bloc resection rate and length of hospital stay. Conclusion:The tumor resection in the anterior space of the styloid process via transoral endoscopic medial parapterygomandibular ligament approach was safe, minimally invasive and feasible.

Viral myocarditis(VMC)is a type of myocarditis caused by Coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)infection.Its pathogenesis is complex that includes direct viral action,host immune and inflammatory response,myocardial structure and function remodeling.The therapeutic effect of single target drugs is limited,while traditional Chinese medicine not only has antiviral effects,but also demon-strates systematic advantages in intervening in VMC due to its"multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway"characteristics.This article reviews the pathogenic mechanisms of CVB3-induced VMC,clarifies the interaction between CVB3 and host cells,and ex-plores the intervention mechanisms and developments of traditional Chinese medicine interventions for CVB3-induced VMC.At the same time,the prospects of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for CVB3-induced VMC in this study suggest that future research should strengthen the analysis of multi-target synergistic mechanisms based on traditional Chinese medicine formulas,combine artifi-cial intelligence,genomics,and gene editing technologies to predict drug-target interaction networks,establish standardized and per-sonalized system for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment plans,and provide more effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of VMC.

Human Respiratory Stem Cells (RSCs) play a crucial role in the maintenance, repair and regeneration of the respiratory system. As a novel therapeutic method, stem cell therapy is a popular research direction in the medical field. And with the in-depth research on the mechanism of pneumonia caused by respiratory infections in recent years, the use of RSCs to explore pneumonia caused by respiratory infections and its therapeutic strategies has become a hot topic. In this paper, we firstly outlined the types of RSCs, summarized the mechanism of pneumonia caused by respiratory tract infections, discussed the advantages of RSCs application and the progress of culture differentiation, and elaborated the therapeutic exploration of RSCs in pneumonia caused by respiratory tract infections.

Objective To investigate the correlation between indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging and lymph node metastasis of bladder cancer and its application value.Methods The clinicopathological data of 35 patients with bladder cancer(T1-T4aNxM0)treated in our hospital during Jun.2019 and Mar.2023 were collected.All patients underwent ICG submucous injection,and those with successful imaging received lymph node dissection under fluorescent guidance.After that,the remaining lymph tissue was cleared according to the standard lymph node dissection range,and the resected lymph tissue was subassembled for examination.Patients with non-imaging underwent standard pelvic lymph node dissection according to the routine procedure.Intraoperative lymph node imaging areas were recorded,and postoperative lymph node pathological data were collected.The correlation between fluorescence imaging patterns and lymph node metastasis in patients with different stages of bladder cancer was analyzed with correlation coefficients.Results The ICG fluorescence imaging rate was 91.43％(32/35),and there was no statistically significant difference in the imaging rate among patients with different stages of bladder cancer(P＞0.05).The fluorescence imaging range was significantly correlated with the stage(C=0.351,P=0.034).There was a significant correlation between the imaging range and lymph node metastasis in early-stage patients(C=0.619,P=0.022),but there was no significant difference in the lymph node metastasis rate in advanced patients with different imaging range(P＞0.05).In patients with full staging,the sensitivity of lymph nodes to predict metastasis was 60.00％(6/10),and the negative predictive value was 84.62％(22/26).In early-stage patients,the sensitivity and negative predictive value were 50.00％(1/2)and 93.75％(15/16),respectively.In advanced-stage patients,they were 62.50％(5/8)and 70.00％(7/10),respectively.Conclusion ICG fluorescence imaging rate of tracing lymph node metastasis is high,and the imaging range is significantly related to the tumor stage.For patients with early-stage(T1-T2)bladder cancer,the range of imaging helps to predict the risk of lymph node metastasis and guide the extent of lymph node dissection.Resection of multi-area imaged lymph nodes can comprehensively evaluate the lymphatic metastasis status of early-stage patients.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic and progressive arterial disease. It is an important cause of the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. With the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), TCM has many advantages in the therapy of AS, with less adverse reactions. Studies have shown that TCM can resist AS, and the mechanism mainly belongs to regulating lipid metabolism, anti-lipid peroxidation, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation, and protecting the structure and function of vascular endothelial cells. The mechanism of TCM for AS is warranted to be studied systematically, and the chemical components need to be further clarified.

【Objective】 To establish a routine screening method for unexpected antibodies of blood donors, analyze the results of centralized screening for unexpected antibody of blood donors in the blood center, and compare the cost of centralized and decentralized screening modes. 【Methods】 A total of 35 591 blood donors were screened for unexpected antibodies from March 31, 2021 to July 31, 2021, using microcolumn gel method. Unexpected antibody screening reactive samples were further confirmed by the Transfusion Research Institute of Shenzhen Blood Center, and the demographic characteristics were further determined through the analysis of unexpected antibody positive population. The direct cost and indirect cost of centralized and decentralized unexpected antibody screening mode were compared. 【Results】 Forty unexpected antibody positive samples were confirmed in Shenzhen, with the positive rate at 0.11%(40/35 591), among which MNS, Rh and Lewis system accounted for 35% (14/40), 32.5% (13/40) and 17.5% (7/40), respectively. Males and females accounted for 45% (18/40) and 55% (22/40), respectively (P<0.01). No significant difference was noticed by age and repeated-donor or not (P>0.05). Unexpected antibody screening in a centralized way saved about 1.16 million yuan per year. 【Conclusion】 It is necessary to carry out unexpected antibody screening for all blood donors, and centralized screening is more economical than decentralized screening.
