Objective:To summarize the experience in the treatment of giant neurofibromas.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical information of patients with giant neurofibromas who were admitted to the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Yichang Central People’s Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. Preoperative endovascular embolization was performed by interventional technique. Intraoperatively, the tumor was stripped while hemostasis was performed, and the tumor was completely removed radically. Depending on the type of wound, the wound was closed directly, or with the meshed full-thickness skin taken from the surface of the tumor. The vacuum sealing drainage dressing with a stable suction pressure of -150 - -250 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) was used. Then tumor recurrence, defect repair, and associated complications were observed and followed up.Results:A total of 4 patients were included, 2 males and 2 females, aged 43-56 years with an average age of 49.3 years. Two patients had previous resection surgery at other hospitals. The tumors in the four patients were situated in the left thigh, buttocks, left waist and left leg respectively, with volumes of 20 cm×10 cm×10 cm, 50 cm×20 cm×15 cm, 20 cm×15 cm×10 cm and 15 cm×10 cm×8 cm correspondingly. After resection of the tumor from the left thigh and leg, the wounds were closed directly. The mesh skin graft from the tumor on the buttock and left waist was used for wound after tumor resection. Following the surgery, the patient with a neurofibroma on the buttock was transferred to the intensive care unit due to excessive blood loss. The sinus tract was formed, but healed after several dressing changes. The vacuum sealing dressing and sutures were removed two weeks after the operation for other cases. The wounds healed well and during the six months to three years follow-up, no tumor recurrence, impairment of motor or sensory function was found.Conclusion:Surgical resection and plastic surgery techniques are effective in treating giant neurofibromas. Preoperative tumor embolization and complete removal of the tumor during surgery can significantly reduce the risk of bleeding. The wounds resulted from tumor resection can be directly closed or with meshed from skin grafts on the tumor surface. Vacuum sealing drainage can also promote wound healing.

Objective:To establish and evaluate a new real-time quality control method that can identify the random errors by using the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm and taking blood glucose test as an example.Methods:A total of 219 000 blood glucose results measured by Siemens advia 2 400 analytical system from January 2019 to July 2020 and derived from Laboratory Information System of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Laboratory Department was regarded as the unbiased data of our study. Six deviations with different sizes were introduced to generate the corresponding biased data. With each biased data, BPNN and MovSD algorithms were used and tested, and then evaluated by traceability method and clinical method.Results:For BPNN algorithm, the block size was pre-set to 10 and the false-positive rate in all biases was within 0.1%. For MovSD, however, the optimal block size and exclusive limit were 150 and 10% separately and its false-positive rate in all biases was 0.38%, which was 0.28% higher than BPNN. Especially, for the least two error factors of 0.5 and 1, all the random errors were not detected by MovSD; for the error factor larger than 1, random errors could be detected by MovSD but the MNPed was higher than that of BPNN under all deviations. The difference was up to 91.67 times. 460 000 reference data were produced by traceability procedure. The uncertainty of BPNN algorithm evaluated by these reference data was only 0.078%.Conclusion:A real-time quality control method based on BPNN algorithm was successfully established to identify random errors in analytical phase, which was more efficient than MovSD method and provided a new idea and method for the identification of random errors in clinical practice.
