Objective:This study aims to explore the application value of the "liftoff" modular method in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for complex adrenal tumors.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 15 patients with complex adrenal tumors treated at the General Hospital of Southern Theater Command from May 2022 to June 2023. The cohort comprised 5 males and 10 females with an average age of (47.6±7.8) years and a body mass index (BMI) of 26.5 (23.8-27.9) kg/m 2. Among the patients, 3 had a BMI ≥28 kg/m 2, 2 had diabetes, 6 had hypertension, and 1 had coronary heart disease. Preoperative endocrine hormone examination revealed abnormal blood catecholamines in 5 cases and abnormal blood cortisol in 2 cases. Ultrasound and CT scans indicated that 9 tumors were located on the left side and 6 on the right, with 4 cases showing tumor compression on adjacent large blood vessels or organs. The average tumor diameter was (7.61±2.79) cm, with 10 cases having a diameter ≥ 6 cm. All patients underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy assisted by robots through the transperitoneal approach. The surgeries were performed in a lateral position under general anesthesia. The "liftoff" modular method was utilized to separate the treatment of adrenal tumors into lateral, medial, dorsal, cephalic, and adrenal renal plane sides. Tumors were appropriately manipulated during the operations to achieve a "liftoff" shape. Different modular dissociation steps were adopted based on the size and location of the left and right adrenal tumors. The left adrenal gland was dissected in the order of medial and dorsal, adrenal renal plane side, and lateral and cephalic sides, while the right adrenal gland was dissected in the order of lateral and dorsal, adrenal renal plane side, and medial and cephalic sides. Postoperative related indicators and follow-up status of patients were recorded and analyzed. Results:All 15 surgeries were successfully completed without any conversions to open adrenalectomy, with an average operation time of 118 (102-130) minutes and an average intraoperative blood loss of 102 (69-163) ml. The postoperative drainage time was 4 (3-5) days, and the postoperative hospital stay was 6 (4-7) days. The postoperative pathological diagnoses included 5 cases of pheochromocytoma, 3 cases of macronodular adrenal hyperplasia, 6 cases of adrenocortical adenoma, and 1 case of myelolipoma. Follow-up for 6-12 months after surgery showed good recovery and no recurrence.Conclusions:The application of the "liftoff" modular method in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for complex adrenal tumors is safe and feasible. It efficiently aids in tumor removal and holds significant clinical application value.

Objective:To discuss the effect of simultaneous implantation of artificial cavernous body and urethral sphincter for severe erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence after traumatic posterior urethral stricture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 3 patients with traumatic posterior urethral stricture admitted to the Southern Theater General Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022, aged 42, 32, 28 years old, all of whom suffered pelvic fracture and posterior urethral stricture after trauma. Patient 2 were missing left lower limb and patient 3 were missing right lower limb, all of whom had dysuria. Preoperative cystourethrography indicated posterior urethral stricture with a length of 2, 2, 3 cm, respectively. No erectile response and severe erectile dysfunction were reported in penile nocturnal erectile function tests. Posterior urethral stricture was cured by end-to-end anastomosis surgery. After urethral stricture was cured, the nighttime erectile function test indicated severe erectile dysfunction and diagnosed erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. After 3 months of continuous administration of sildenafil and/or tadalafil, the erectile dysfunction did not improve, and the score of the international erectile function test was 1, 2, 2 points. Severe erectile dysfunction. The urine could not be controlled, the number of urine pads per day was 6, 6, 8, respectively, and pelvic floor rehabilitation training was adopted for urinary incontinence. 6 months later, urodynamic examination indicated severe stress incontinence, and the urine pad test was 30g, 32g, and 82g per hour. Patients were fully informed of the surgical risks before surgery. Simultaneous implantation of artificial penile cavernous body and artificial urethral sphincter were performed after full preoperative preparation: General anesthesia, supine frog position with transverse incision in upper scrotum, the urethra was separated and the artificial urethral sphincter cuff was easily inserted into the upper scrotum. Then the left and right sides of the penis cavernous sinus were dilated and the length of the cavernous body was measured. Suitable artificial penis cavernous body was implanted, water sacs were placed in the posterior pubic space and the anterior vesical space, and the tubes were connected. The erectile switch was placed under the scrotum, and the incision was closed after repeated testing of urine control and normal erectile function.Results:Three cases were successfully completed. The simultaneous implantation time of artificial cavernous body and artificial urethral sphincter was 270, 260, 240 min, respectively. The catheter was removed 1 week after surgery, and the erection switch was trained 2 weeks after surgery, and full erection was achieved after 1 week. The urine control switch was activated 6 weeks after surgery, and urine control was normal without urine pad. Following up for 12 to 18 months, 2 cases had normal erections and urinary control, 1 case had urethral corrosion 2 months after surgery, the original artificial sphincter was removed completely and a new artificial urethral sphincter was implanted in the same period, the operation was successful, and the follow-up was 1 year, urine control and erectile function returned to normal.Conclusions:For the severe erectile dysfunction and severe urinary incontinence after traumatic posterior urethral stricture, simultaneous implantation of artificial penile cavernous body and artificial urethral sphincter could be alternative choice.

Objective:To explore the correlation between dietary fiber intake and intestinal barrier function in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D).Methods:IBS-D patients were recruited from May 2019 to October 2019 at the clinic of gastroenterology department in China-Japan Friendship Hospital and healthy controls (HCs) were recruited by advertisement. Clinical manifestations, psychological status and quality of life were assessed using standardized questionnaires. A food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary habits in the preceding year. Serum diamine oxidase (DAO) was measured via ELISA.Results:64 IBS-D patients and 35 HCs were enrolled, with no significant difference in sex ratio, age and BMI between the two groups. Second to health concern, food avoidance was the dominant impacting factor for quality of life in IBS-D patients. The intake frequency of dietary fiber was decreased in IBS-D patients, and the intake frequencies of dietary fiber-rich foods were significantly lower in IBS-D patients ( P < 0.01 for tubers, P = 0.002 for vegetables, P = 0.019 for fruits and P = 0.045 for legumes). On the other hand, the intake frequencies of processed meat ( P < 0.01), greasy food ( P = 0.009), barbecued food ( P = 0.002) and animal offal ( P = 0.003) were significantly higher in IBS-D patients compared with HCs, indicating the increased intake frequency of fat. Multivariate logistic regression showed that tubers might reduce the risk of IBS-D ( OR = 0.409,95% CI: 0.232 to 0.722, P = 0.002). The frequency of abdominal pain was positively associated with the intake frequency of greasy food in IBS-D patients. Serum DAO was measured in 37 IBS-D patients and 27 HCs. IBS-D patients had significantly higher serum DAO than HCs ( 77.0 [55.3, 100.6] μg/L vs 42.5 [28.0, 58.2] μg/L, P < 0.01). Among all the participants with serum DAO test results, the level of DAO was negatively associated with the intake frequencies of tubers, vegetables and fruits while positively associated with the intake frequencies of processed meat and barbecued food. Conclusions:Food avoidance was an important impacting factor for quality of life in IBS-D patients. IBS-D patients might have insufficient dietary fiber intake and excessive fat intake. Tubers could possibly reduce the risk of IBS-D. The decreased intake frequency of dietary fiber might have a role in intestinal barrier dysfunction in IBS-D patients.

Objective:To explore the association between sleep duration, sleep quality and the prevalence of hypertension in the elderly aged 65 years and above.Methods:This study was conducted among the elderly in communities in Yiwu, China from April to July, 2019, and participants were recruited through physical examination in the hospital. Face-to-face interview was performed to obtain basic information. Sleep duration and sleep quality were evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Associations between sleep duration, sleep quality and hypertension were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 3 169 elderly persons, aged ≥65 years old, were included in the study. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 50.8%. The elderly with very poor sleep quality and short sleep duration accounted for 22.4% and 28.5%, respectively. After adjusting for demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, lifestyle and health status, the OR of hypertension for the elderly with very poor sleep quality was 1.42 (95% CI: 1.12-1.80) compared with those with very good sleep quality. Compared with the elderly with sleep duration of 6-7 h a night, the OR of hypertension for those with sleep duration <6 h was 1.37 (95% CI: 1.15-1.65). As the sleep quality decreased, the risk for hypertension increased. An U-shaped association was found between sleep duration and risk of hypertension. Subgroup analyses showed that this association existed in both men and women, but only significant in the elderly aged <75 years. Conclusion:Poor sleep quality and short sleep duration were associated with risk for hypertension in the elderly.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of early fluid resuscitation endpoints in evaluating blood volume in patients with acute pancreatitis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 445 previously untreated patients with acute pancreatitis who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from 2003 to 2016 and had an onset time of less than 24 hours, and according the fluid resuscitation endpoints of mean arterial pressure (MAP), hematocrit (HCT), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), the patients were divided into standard-reaching group (MAP >65 mm Hg, BUN <7.14 mmol/L, and HCT ≥0.35 and ≤044, n=219) and non-standard-reaching group (MAP ≤65 mm Hg or BUN ≥7.14 mmol/L or HCT >0.44 or <0.35, n=226). The standard-reaching group represented normal volume, while the non-standard-reaching group represented insufficient volume. The two groups were compared in terms of symptoms, signs, etiology, severity, complication, and prognosis. The chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsCompared with the standard-reaching group, the non-standard-reaching group had significant increases in white blood cell count, BUN, and Computed Tomography Severity Index of the pancreas (Z=-2.85, -6.725, and -2.293, all P<0.01). As for local complications, compared with the non-standard-reaching group, the standard-reaching group had significantly lower incidence rates of peripancreatic exudation (45.2% vs 54.9%, χ2=4.15, P<0.05) and pancreatic necrosis (10.0% vs 186%, χ2=6.59, P<0.05). As for systemic complications, compared with the non-standard-reaching group, the standard-reaching group had significantly lower incidence rates of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (0.5% vs 4.4%, χ2=7.26, P<0.05) and renal dysfunction (1.4% vs 6.6%, χ2=7.95, P<0.05). The standard-reaching group had significantly lower proportion of patients with severe pancreatitis and hospital costs than the non-standard-reaching group (both P<0.05). ConclusionFluid resuscitation endpoints can be used to evaluate the blood volume of patients with acute pancreatitis in the early stage after admission, and the patients not reaching the standard of fluid resuscitation tend to develop the complications such as peripancreatic exudation, pancreatic necrosis, ARDS, and renal dysfunction and may have higher hospital costs.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of job burnout of medical staff and provide reference for the formulation of intervention measures.Methods:From November to December, 2018, a questionnaire survey was conducted among medical staff in a general hospital by using the research design of the current situation survey. A total of 1193 questionnaires were distributed and 939 questionnaires were returned, with a recovery rate of 78.7%, including 891 valid questionnaires and an effective recovery rate of 94.9%. Social support rating scale (SSRs) was used to evaluate social support, and Maslach Burnout Scale (MBI-GS) was used to evaluate job burnout. Single factor analysis was performed by chi square test and Fisher exact probability method. To explore the influencing factors of job burnout by using disordered multi classification logistic.Results:The average age was (27.47 ± 4.22) years old, female accounted for 71.5% (637/891) . The total physical examination rate of job burnout was 46.6%. The scores of emotional exhaustion, cynicism and decreased sense of achievement were (10.10±3.75) , (6.14±3.43) , (17.91±4.13) respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with the non detected job burnout, the young, working for 1-3 years, average sleep ≤6 hours, and poor social support were more likely to have mild job burnout ( OR=0.91, 0.40, 2.25, 2.38, P<0.05) ; female, high night shift frequency in the past year, average sleep ≤6 h. Those with poor social support were more likely to have moderate to severe job burnout ( OR=1.59, 2.94, 4.01, 2.40, 3.66, P<0.05) . Conclusion:Corresponding measures should be taken to reduce job burnout and improve work efficiency.
