Nasojejunal feeding tubes are widely used in surgical,intensive care,and older patients.Manual blind insertion of nasojejunal feeding tubes is technically challenging,associated with a high failure rate,and prone to complications.The primary causes of suboptimal placement outcomes are the uncertainty and weak controllability of the interaction forces during the coordination between manual posterior advancement and the patient's physiological state.While current auxiliary techniques such as X-ray,ultrasound,and endoscopy can improve the success rate of nasojejunal tube placement and reduce complications to some extent,the accuracy and safety of placement remain constrained by challenges in controlling insertion forces and achieving precise positional localization.Robotic technology holds promise for addressing the uncertainties and controllability issues inherent in the placement process.By leveraging precise sensing,real-time navigation,and efficient control,robots can achieve intelligent positioning and precise control over the direction and location of the catheter tip during nasojejunal intubation.However,current research on robotic applications for nasojejunal feeding tube placement is still in an early stage,facing challenges such as high costs,operational complexity,and concerns over safety and reliability.Herein,we analyzed the limitations and causes of failure in existing placement methods and explored the application prospects of robotic technologies for precise control and intelligent positioning in nasojejunal feeding tube placement.The paper provides new insights for developing nursing techniques that enable safer and more effective,comfortable,and rapid intubation.Future efforts should focus on deepening the integration of artificial intelligence and robotics,optimizing drive technologies,and accelerating the translation of these technologies from the laboratory to clinical practice.This will drive the advancement of nasojejunal feeding tube placement techniques towards intelligent,precise,and accessible solutions.

OBJECTIVE:To stud y the effects of different processed products of Whitmania pigra on hemorheology and coagulation indexes in acute blood stasis model rats. METHODS :SD rats were randomly divided into blank group ,model group , aspirin group ,W. pigra hang-dried product low- ,medium- and high-dose groups ,W. pigra talcum powder-ironed product low- , medium- and high-dose groups ,W. pigra wine bran-processed product low- ,medium- and high-dose groups ,with 6 rats in each group. Except for blank group ,other groups received subcutaneous injection of epinephrine hydrochloride and ice water bath for 15 d to induce acute blood stasis model. From the 8th day of modeling ,rats in aspirin group were given aspirin 0.2 g/kg intragastrically. Rats in each dose group of W. pigra processed products were given relevant medicine 0.35,1.4,3.5 g/kg intragastrically(calculated by crude drug ). Rats in blank group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically, once a day , for consecutive 8 days. Hemorheology indexes as whole blood viscosity (high, medium and low shearrate ),plasma viscosity ,erythrocyte com deformation index ,erythrocyte aggregation index ,hematocrit, and blood coagulation indexes as prothrombin time (PT), mail:wcl19960125@163.com activated partial prothrombin time (APTT),thrombin time (TT)were determined. RESU LTS:Compared with blank group ,whole blood viscosity under different shear rates ,plasma viscosity , erythrocyte aggregation index and hematocrit of model group were increased significantly ,while erythrocyte deformation index was significantly decreased ,PT,TT and APTT were significantly shortened (P<0.01). Compared with model group ,whole blood viscosity under different shear rates ,plasma viscosity ,erythrocyte aggregation index and hematocrit of aspirin group and W. pigra hang-dried product ,talcum powder-ironed product ,wine bran-processed product high-dose groups were decreased significantly , while erythrocyte deformation index were significantly increased ,and PT (only W. pigra talcum powder-ironed products high-dose group),APTT(except for W. pigra hang-dried products high-dose group )and TT were prolonged significantly. The whole blood viscosity of W. pigra hang-dried product medium-dose group under low shear rate ,and those of W. pigra talcum powder-ironed product low-dose ,wine bran-processed product medium-dose groups under low and medium shear rates were decreased significantly. Erythrocyte deformation index of W. pigra talcum powder-ironed product medium-dose group was increased significantly ,while erythrocyte aggregation index was decreased significantly ,and PT ,TT were prolonged significantly. APTT of W. pigra hang-dried product medium-dose group was prolonged significantly. Hematocrit of W. pigra wine bran-processed product low-dose group was decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS : W. pigra hang-dried, talcum powder-ironed and wine bran-processed product can effectively improve hemorheology indexes and prolong blood coagulation time.

Objective To study the medical imaging findings and the pathological features of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (HIMT) using CT,MRI and histopathology.Methods The CT and MRI findings of 31 patients with HIMT which were confirmed by histopathology on surgically resected specimen were analyzed retrospectively.The location,size,shape,edge,density or signal,and contrast enhancement of these tumors were analyzed.Results The tumors were located in the right liver in 26 patients,in the left liver in 5 patients,and under the hepatic capsule in 27 patients.The tumors were solitary in 28 patients and multiple in 3 patients.The maximum diameter of the tumor ranged from 2.1 cm to 12.5 cm.The average diameter was (3.6 ± 1.2) cm.The tumors were round or oval in 21 patients and irregular in 10 patients.19 patients underwent CT examination and all tumors showed low density,with a CT value which ranged from 5 to 35HU.The average value was (27.6 ±5.3) HU.The density of tumors was homogeneous in 6 patients and inhomogeneous in 13 patients,and among these 13 patients,3 were alveolate.Twenty-one patients underwent MRI scan and all showed a low signal on T1WI,12 patients showed an equal signal and 9 patients showed a slightly higher signal on T2WI.In 6 patients the signals were homogeneous and in 15 patients they were inhomogeneous.On CT and MRI enhanced scans the whole tumor was enhanced in 12 patients,the edge was enhanced in 9 patients,the septum was enhanced in 8 patients and no enhancement was observed in 2 patients.Pathological examination under microscopy observed the presence of proliferation of spindle cells,chronic inflammatory cells which included the proliferation of lymphocytes,plasma cells and collagen fiber formation.The spindle cells had the characteristics of fibroblasts and myofibroblast cells.Immunohistochemical examination showed the wave type protein (Vimentin) was positive in 23 patients,the smooth muscle actin (SMA) was positive in 18 patients,the muscle actin (MSA) and the specificity of junction protein (Desmin) were positive in 12 patients,CD68 was positive in 4 patients,and the ALK,S-100 protein,CDll7 and CD35 were all negative.Conclusions The radiological features of CT and MRI plain scan varied.The patterns of contrast enhancement included full tumor filling,marginal enhancement,compartment enhancement,and no enhancement.The enhanced features varied from mild to moderate enhancement in the arterial phase,further enhancement in the portal phase and mild enhancement in the delayed phase.
