Pancreatic cancer is highly aggressive and often diagnosed at an advanced stage,leaving most patients ineligible for radical resection.This study retrospectively analyzed four patients with locally advanced or advanced pancreatic cancer to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)ablation combined with chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant and conversion therapy.All cases were reviewed and individualized treatment plans were formulated through a multidisciplinary team evaluation.All patients received HIFU plus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy,with assessments of tumor volume,vascular involvement,surgical conversion,symptom relief,and adverse events.Three patients achieved marked tumor shrinkage and reduction of vascular invasion,enabling successful R0 resection without recurrence during follow-up.The remaining patient achieved disease stability,significant pain relief,and maintained good quality of life under repeated HIFU therapy.All treatments were well tolerated,and no severe adverse reactions occurred.The combination of HIFU and chemotherapy demonstrated synergistic local and systemic effects,effectively achieving tumor downstaging,improving resectability,and alleviating symptoms.As a safe,noninvasive,and repeatable therapeutic approach,this strategy offers a promising option for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.Further large-scale prospective studies are warranted to validate its long-term efficacy and elucidate underlying mechanisms.

Objective:To evaluate the outcomes of minimally invasive therapy for aortic arch pathology after ascending aortic replacement.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2016 to 2024. After multidisciplinary discussion, these included patients were evaluated to be at high risk for traditional open surgery. Various minimally invasive repair techniques were employed, including Ⅳb hybrid technique, physician-modified endograft and novel unibody endograft. The study outcomes were technical success, in-hospital and follow-up mortality, stroke, endoleak, and the patency of the supra-aortic vessels.Results:A total of 40 patients(32 males and 8 females) with a median age of 60 years old were included in this study. The technique success rate was 100%, with no deaths or strokes reported. The patency of the supra-aortic vessels was 100%. 10 patients underwent Type Ⅳb hybrid surgery without any endoleaks occurring. Among the 22 patients who received physician-modified endograft, endoleaks were observed in 2 cases. One of these type Ⅰc endoleaks persisted and underwent reintervention. One patient underwent femoral artery replacement due to vascular injury. For the 8 patients who received novel unibody endograft, one case required reintervention due to persistent type Ⅰc endoleaks.Conclusion:With the development of different endovascular techniques and novel branched endograft, patients with aortic arch pathology who are at high risk for redo open surgery can achieve favorable outcomes with various minimal invasive techniques. However, long-term and large-sample follow-up studies are needed for further evaluation.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety profile of antaitasvir phosphate combined with yiqibuvir in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of various genotypes, without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:394 cases with CHC from 22 centers were collected from October 2021 to April 2023. They were randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drugs (antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg) or placebo treatment in a 3∶1 ratio. The patients were administered drugs once a day for 12 consecutive weeks, and then followed up for 24 weeks after treatment cessation. All subjects were unblinded at the four-week follow-up following drug discontinuation, with the experimental drug group continuing to complete subsequent post-discontinuation follow-up. The placebo group was switched to receive the experimental drugs for a repeated 12-week treatment period and followed up for another 24 weeks after discontinuation of the drug (placebo delayed treatment phase).The sustained virologic response rate (SVR12) was observed for subjects in the double-blind phase and the placebo delayed-treatment phase at 12 weeks after treatment cessation.Virological resistance analysis was performed on subjects who failed treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The number and percentage of subjects who achieved "HCV RNA

BACKGROUND: The choice of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) vs . total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) remains controversial. This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the clinical results of UKA and TKA for treating unicompartmental KOA. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for articles published up to January 2, 2023. The literature was rigorously screened to include only RCTs comparing UKA and TKA for unicompartmental KOA. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to calculate the mean difference (MD), relative risk (RR), and 95% confidence interval (CI) according to the Cochrane standards. RESULTS: Thirteen publications involving 683 UKAs and 683 TKAs were analyzed. Except for one study with a follow-up period of 15 years, all outcome measures reported were within 5 years of follow-up. Meta-analysis showed better knee recovery (MD: 1.23; 95% CI: 1.01-1.45; P  <0.001), greater knee function (MD: 1.78; 95% CI: 0.34-3.22; P  = 0.020), less pain (MD: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.43-1.06; P  <0.001), and better health status (MD: 3.75; 95% CI: 0.81-6.69; P  = 0.010) after UKA than TKA. However, considering the minimal clinically important difference values for these variables, the findings were not clinically relevant. Moreover, UKA patients had fewer complications (RR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.45-0.78; P  <0.001) and shorter hospital stays (MD: -0.89; 95% CI: -1.57 to -0.22; P  = 0.009) than did TKA patients. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of postoperative range of movement, revision, failure, operation time, and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS In terms of clinical efficacy, there was no obvious advantage of UKA over TKA in the surgical treatment of knee OA when considering the minimal clinically important difference. The main advantage of UKA over TKA is that it leads to fewer complications and a shorter length of hospital stay. It is ideal to perform prospective studies with longer follow-up periods to fully evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the two procedures in the future.

Right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling(RVPAC)refers to the relationship between right ventricular contractility and afterload.Normal RVPAC is maintained only when right ventricular function and pulmonary vascular resistance are appropriately matched.When right ventricular contractility cannot increase to match afterload,thus resulting in right ventricular dysfunction.RVPAC plays an important role in pathophysiology and progression of many cardiovascular diseases,which is crucial for the prognosis of patients.Therefore,early and accurate evaluation of RVPAC has great significance for patient's condition assessment,clinical decision-making,risk stratification and prognosis judgment.There are many evaluation methods currently,which can be divided into invasive and non-invasive methods,among which the non-invasive methods are mainly correlated with ultrasound.This review summarizes pathological mechanism and evaluation methods of RVPAC,advantages and disadvantages of each method and application value of RVPAC in various cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:An integrated automatic quality control system(automatic quality control instrument)for high dose rate(HDR)afterloader was independently developed.This system was used to measure the placement accuracy,residence time and activity of the radioactive source,so as to assess the accuracy and stability of this system in quality assurance.Methods:The automatic quality control system was connected to the Flexitron type of HDR afterloader through a connecting tube.Quality assurance(QA)plans with different resident positions,clearances,and times were designed for measurement and verification.The measurement length was 1079-1119 mm,and the measurement time was 2-10 s,and the measurement activity was 14,326-28,653 μGy·m2·h-1.The measurements were repeated once per one week in three months,so as to determine the consistency of the measurement parameters in a longer period of time.The measurement results of the placement accuracy,resident time and activity of radioactive source of the HDR 192Ir radioactive source were analyzed.Results:The plate ionization chamber was used to measure the activity of radioactive source.In three months,the measurement deviation of the activity of radioactive source was 1.17%,and the fitted activity decay curve was consistent with the expected decay curve of radioactive source.The measurement accuracies of the positioning of radioactive source were respectively 0.46,0.18,0.23,0.25,and 0.15 mm when the interval step sizes of resident times were respectively 2,3,5,8,and 10 mm,all of them were<1 mm.The measurement accuracy of time was(4.90±0.04)s when the resident time was 5 s.In the measurement accuracy of different resident times(1,2,3,5 and 10s)of same step size,the deviation of them was less than 0.5s.When the resident time was the shortest,the deviation between the read-out value of the automatic system software of quality control and the actually resident time was(0.09±0.04)s.The measurement accuracy gradually stabilized with the increasing of resident times.Conclusion:The automatic quality control instrument can complete the measurements for the positioning accuracy,the accuracy of resident time and the activity of radioactive source,and achieve rapidly and accurately periodic quality assurance.
