Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of the Da Vinci robotic single-port-plus-one technique in common urological surgeries in children.Methods:The data of 59 children who underwent robot-assisted single-port-plus-one laparoscopic surgery from May 2022 to November 2023 in Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 44 males and 15 females, aged 36 (6, 108)months. Among them, 27 cases had ureteropelvic junction obstruction, with a preoperative anterior-posterior diameter of the renal pelvis of (31.83±6.59) mm. The American Society of Fetal Urology (SFU) grading system revealed grade Ⅲ in 8 sides and grade Ⅳ in 19 sides. Bilateral renal function showed a difference of 13.50% (7.18%, 31.06%). Additionally, 17 cases presented with vesicoureteral reflux. Preoperative voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) indicated reflux grades Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in 8, 14, and 4 sides, respectively, with a difference in bilateral renal function of 18.58% (6.04%, 28.30%). Ten cases had obstructive megaureter, with a preoperative renal pelvis diameter of (22.17±7.64)mm and a maximum ureteral diameter of (19.51±3.71)mm. The preoperative bilateral renal function difference was 18.02% (5.23%, 49.42%).Five cases involved duplicated kidney and ureter. Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) confirmed unilateral duplicated kidneys with associated dilatation of the upper renal pelvis and calyces, hydroureter, thin renal cortex in all 5 patients. Among them, 2 cases had ectopic ureteral opening and 1 case had terminal ureteral cyst. Patients with ureteropelvic junction stenosis underwent pyeloplasty, those with vesicoureteral reflux and obstructive megaureter underwent ureteral reimplantation, and patients with duplicated ureters underwent nephrectomy. The Da Vinci robotic surgical system was employed for all procedures. The port placement technique involved a 2-3 cm incision around the navel to insert a single-port four-channel device, followed by the placement of an additional 8 mm operating channel in the left or right abdomen under direct visualization based on the surgical site. Preoperative and postoperative parameters were compared.Results:All operations were successfully completed without conversion to open or laparoscopic surgery. The operation time of the ureteropelvic junction obstruction children was (141.52±22.93) min. The postoperative renal pelvis diameter and bilateral renal function difference were (12.54±4.05) mm and 5.60%(2.14%, 14.48%), respectively, both of which showed significant improvement compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.01). Postoperative hydronephrosis grades were as follows: 13 sides with grade Ⅰ, 13 sides with grade Ⅱ, and 1 side with grade Ⅲ. The operation time of vesicoureteral reflux children was (125.00±11.75) min in the unilateral group and (153.22±14.39) min in the bilateral group. Postoperatively, 2 sides demonstrated reflux grade Ⅰ, 1 side grade Ⅱ, and 1 side grade Ⅲ, indicating improvement compared to preoperative levels. Bilateral renal function difference post-surgery was 13.34% (1.85%, 20.54%), which was more balanced than preoperatively ( P=0.011). Postoperative renal pelvis anterior-posterior diameter and maximum ureteral diameter were reduced to (10.31±3.86) mm and (6.62±2.44) mm, respectively, which were significantly smaller than preoperative measurements ( P<0.01). The bilateral renal function difference post-surgery was 12.04% (4.85%, 47.53%), showing improvement, though not statistically significant ( P=0.508). The operation time of the repeated nephrectomy children was (140.00±12.75) min. No recurrence of preoperative symptoms was noted, and renal cortical function remained generally normal during follow-up. In this study, only 3 cases of obstructive megaureter developed febrile urinary tract infection within 1 month after surgery, and no complications were observed in the remaining cases. Conclusions:This study preliminarily confirmed that the Da Vinci robotic single-port-plus one-port technology can be used in the treatment of common diseases of the urinary system in children. The patients' symptoms were significantly relieved after surgery, and the indicators of hydronephrosis improved compared with those before surgery. The incidence of postoperative complications was low, and aesthetic outcomes of postoperative scars were enhanced. Further studies are needed to assess its long-term efficacy.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of transumbilical single-port robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for congenital choledochal cysts in children.Methods:Clinical data of 13 children with congenital choledochal cysts undergoing surgery at the Provincial Hospital of Fuzhou University from January 2024 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 4 males and 9 females, aged 48 (24, 60) months. All children underwent transumbilical single-port robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical resection of congenital choledochal cyst with common hepatic duct jejunum Roun-en-Y anastomosis by the same surgeon. The efficacy of this technique was evaluated by surgical safety indicators such as operation time and intra-operative blood loss, as well as indicators of the postoperative scar assessment scale (OSAS).Results:All surgeries were successfully performed without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was (200±22) min. The blood loss was (8.07±2.56) ml without intraoperative blood transfusion. The time to start water feeding was (2.76±0.83) d and the time to start liquid diet was (3.92±1.12) d. The postoperative hospital stay was (7.00±3.37) d and the postoperative follow-up time was (5.38±2.06) months. No postoperative complications such as bile reflux gastritis and cholangitis were seen in patients. No dilatation of the common hepatic duct or intrahepatic bile ducts were observed at three months postoperatively. There were good indicators of satisfaction with the appearance of wounds as assessed by OSAS.Conclusion:Transumbilical single-port robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery could be safe and effective for congenital choledochal cysts in children.

Objective:To describe the epidemiological characteristics and changes of febrile seizure(FS)among children under 6 years old in Ningbo City,Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2021.Methods:Based on the Ningbo Regional Health Information Platform,a dynamic cohort was established using vacci-nation registration information,and the cases of FS were identified by the diagnostic results of Chinese terms or International Classification of Diseases 10th revision(ICD-10)R56.0 code in the electronic medical records.The first visit of FS during the observation period was defined as a new case,and a re-currence case was defined as the case with a visit interval of more than 7 days.The 95％confidence in-terval(CI)of FS incidence density was calculated by the Poisson distribution.Results:From January 2015 to June 2020,there were 1.3 million children under 6 years old in Ningbo,with male accounting for 52.87％.The median follow-up time was 2.83(1.55-4.00)years.During the follow-up period,12 776 new onset cases had FS,with more males than females,with an overall incidence density of 4.34(95％CI:4.27-4.40)/1 000 person-years and a recurrence rate of 21.63％.There was a higher inci-dence density in children who were male,born in Ningbo and of non-mobility.The incidence density of FS was higher in urban areas than in rural and rural-urban fringe areas,and the incidence density was different among districts and counties.The peak density was found in children aged 18-23 months[8.42(95％CI:8.11-8.74)/1 000 person-years].From 2015 to 2019,the incidence density in-creased with calendar year(Ptrend＜0.001),and the highest was 5.62(95％CI:5.43-5.81)/1 000 person-years.The incidence density of FS decreased significantly during the period between 2020 and 2021.The incidence density was higher in winter.Conclusion:From 2015 to 2019,the overall inci-dence density of FS in children under 6 years old in Ningbo City presented an increasing trend.More at-tention should be paid to the health education,the improvement of the health maintenance model,the en-hancement of the cognition of FS,the identification and treatment of FS among high-risk population and regions so as to prevent its recurrence and reduce the disease burden during the corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)epide-mic.

Objective:To observe the effect of Risedronate on fracture healing in elderly patients with osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted on elderly patients with osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fractures in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2020.They were followed up regularly for 1 year after proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)internal fixation.According to whether the patients took Risedronate during hospitalization, the patients were divided into two groups(PFNA internal fixation combined with Risedronate, 39 cases)and control group(PFNA internal fixation alone, 44 cases). The BMD values before and 1 year after operation were compared between the two groups.Harris score was used to evaluate hip function, Rush score was used to evaluate fracture healing, and the operation-related complications, adverse drug reactions and fractures in other parts were recorded.Results:The fractures of all patients healed 12 months after operation.There were no recurrent fractures in both groups during follow-up.The mean bone mineral density(BMD)T value in healthy side hip was(-2.83±0.46)in Risedronate group and(-3.16±0.42)in control group( t=-3.397, P=0.001). Among the total 83 patients, 39 patients in the Risedronate group had no obvious adverse reactions; 1 patient of 44 patients in the control group had obvious upper abdominal pain and discomfort, accompanied by nausea and lack of appetite.These symptoms improved after stopping the drug. Conclusions:Risedronate taken early after surgery does not affect fracture healing and can improve bone mineral density of healthy side hip.

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of Cyclin D1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells processed by epigallocatechin gallate(EGCG) and it's significance, and revealed the anti-tumor mechanism of EGCG against nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHOD: CNE-2 cells were treated by EGCG at different concentrations, the morphological changes of CNE-2 cells were observed by inverted microscope; the inhibition ratio of cell proliferation was detected by MTT colorimetric method, flow cytometry was used to analyze the changes of cell cycle. The expression of Cyclin D1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. RESULT: After treated by EGCG, the CNE2 cells decreased in amount and density, some of which became roll and small; Floating and dead cells can be seen in the inverted microscopy; cell proliferation was significantly inhibited in a time and dose dependent (P < 0.05). CNE-2 cells were arrested at G1/G0 phase. The expression of Cyclin D1 mRNA was down-regulated by EGCG with concentration and action time dependent (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION EGCG resisted nasopharyngeal carcinoma by inhibiting the cell proliferation, The down regulation of Cyclin D1 mRNA expression in a time and dose dependent may be the possible mechanisms.
