Objective This study aims to compare the efficacy of video stylets and video laryngoscopes in facilitating nasotracheal intubation during oral surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients,aged between 18 and 70 years old,with ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective oral surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly assigned to either the video stylet group(Group N)or the video laryngoscope group(Group C),with 40 patients in each group.In Group N,a video stylet was used to shape the tracheal tube at a 90-degree angle,with the shaping position being the vertical distance from the Adam's apple to the nostril.The tube was inserted from the nasal cavity into the throat under direct visualization,and positioned behind the glottis.In Group C,the tube was initially blindly inserted into the nasal cavity without a core.Upon reaching the throat,a video laryngoscope was employed to lift the epiglottis and expose the glottis from the mouth.The tube was then inserted with the aid of intubation forceps or cuff inflation.The primary outcome measure was the intubation time.Additional measures included the time taken for nasal passage,glottis exposure,and the number of intubation attempts and assistant interventions required.Vital signs,including MAP and HR,were recorded at five minutes of quiet rest upon entering the room(T0),during glottis exposure(T1),upon passage of the tube through the glottis(T2),and one minute after the tube entered the trachea(T3).Complications such as epistaxis,oral mucosal bleeding,loose incisors,and postop-erative sore throat were also documented.Results The intubation time and nasal passage time in Group N were significantly shorter than those in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cuff inflations and intubation forceps assisted cases in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of glottis exposure time,first successful intubation times,C-L glottis classification,and mandibular lift-assisted intubation(P>0.05).The increase in MAP and HR in Group N at T1 and T2 was signifi-cantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cases with mild epistaxis in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).Similarly,the number of cases with loose incisors and oral mucosal bleeding in Group N was significantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared to the video laryngoscope,the video stylet-guided nasotracheal intubation results in a shorter intubation time,less damage to the oronasopharynx,eliminates the need for intubation forceps,and reduces the patient's stress and vascular stress response during intubation.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA) by using a Bayesian single-arm Meta-analysis.Methods:Databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang were searched from January 1, 1990 to December 30, 2021 on ELRA studies. The Bayesian one-arm Meta-analysis was performed by using the statistical software of R (V4.1.2) and the Markov chain-Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the posterior distribution. The mortality rate within 30 days after operation, 1-year survival rate, major postoperative complications, R 0 resection rate and other related indexes were analyzed. Results:A total of 20 studies with 436 patients were included. Bayesian single-arm Meta-analysis showed that the 1-year survival rate after ELRA was 83.24% [95% highest posterior density ( HPD): 72.40%-92.05%]. The 1-year survival rates after surgery were 88.66% (95% HPD: 81.52%-94.50%) for patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis and 61.29% (95% HPD: 38.53%-93.68%) for patients with hepatic malignancies, respectively. The mortality rate within 30 d after surgery, the incidence of significant postoperative complications, and the R 0 resection rate were 6.96% (95% HPD: 4.47%-10.15%), 27.91% (95% HPD: 19.00%-38.30%), and 99.84% (95% HPD: 37.61%-100.00%), respectively. Renal failure was the most frequent cause of death after ELRA. Conclusion:ELRA is indicated for hepatic malignancies and hepatic alveolar echinococcosis when intrahepatic resection cannot be accomplished in vivo. The greatest benefit is observed in patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis, while only some patients with hepatic malignancies can benefit. The indications for ELRA for hepatic malignancies need to be further studied to define the subgroup of patients who can benefit from this operation.

Objective:To predict the efficacy of biliary drainage stenting (BDS) versus primary duct closure (PDC) alone after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE)using Bayesian network Meta analysis.Methods:Databases including PubMed, MedLine, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang were searched for literatures from January.1st 1990 to January. 31st 2020 with the key words of ( "Choledocholithiasis" OR "common bile duct stone" OR "CBDS" OR "extrahepatic bile duct stone" ) AND ( "laparoscopic common bile duct exploration" OR "LCBDE" ) AND ( "primary duct closure" or "PDC" ) AND ( "T-tube drainage" or "TTD" or "T-tube" ) AND ( "biliary drainage stenting or BDS" ) AND ( "clinical trials" ),胆总管结石,腹腔镜胆总管探查, T管引流,一期缝合,胆道内支架引流. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about comparison of efficacy among BDS, PDC alone and T-tube drainage after LCBDE were received and included. BDS group included patients who underwent BDS after LCBDE, PDC group included patients who underwent PDC alone after LCBDE, and T-tube drainage group included patients who underwent T-tube drainage after LCBDE. The primary outcomes were the incidence of postoperative overall complications, bile leakage and residual stones. GeMTC software was used for Meta analysis in the Rstudio environment. This study was conducted using the random effects model in Bayesian network. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo was used for direct evaluation and indirect prediction. The Brooks-Gelman-Rubing graphing method, tracing method and density plotting were used to evaluate the model convergence. No closed loop formed between intervention measures, so there was no need to evaluate consistency. The matrix of rank probabilities in terms of the outcomes were also calculated.Results:(1) Document retrieval: a total of 12 available RCTs were enrolled. There were 982 patients, including 190 in the BDS group, 296 in the PDC group, and 496 in the T-tube drainage group. (2) Results of Bayesian network meta analysis. ① The BDS group and PDC group had lower overall complication rate than T-tube drainage group [ odds ratio ( OR)=0.21, 0.48, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.06-0.52, 0.24-0.87, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the indirectly predicted overall complication rate between the BDS group and PDC group ( OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.12-1.30, P>0.05). ② The BDS group had lower incidence of postoperative bile leakage than T-tube drainage group ( OR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.02-0.86, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative bile leakage between the PDC group and T-tube drainage group ( OR=0.70, 95% CI: 0.27-1.70, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the indirectly predicted incidence of postoperative bile leakage between the BDS group and T-tube drainage group ( OR=0.25, 95% CI: 0.03-1.60, P>0.05). ③ T-tube drainage group had no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative residual stones compared with the BDS group and PDC group ( OR=0.58, 1.40, 95% CI: 0.13-2.40, 0.41-5.50, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the indirectly predicted incidence of postoperative residual stones between the BDS group and PDC group ( OR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.05-2.70, P>0.05). (3) Ranking of the incidence of postoperative complication among the three groups: for the BDS group, PDC group, and T-tube drainage group, the probability of ranking the first in the incidence of overall complication was 0.08%, 0.98%, 98.94%, the probability of ranking the second was 6.57%, 92.38%, 1.05%, and the probability of ranking the third was 93.36%, 6.64%, 0.01%, respectively, showing the ranking list as T-tube drainage group >PDC group >BDS group in the incidence of overall complication. The probability of ranking the first in the incidence of postoperative bile leakage was 1.25%, 18.93%, 79.82% for the BDS group, PDC group, and T-tube drainage group, the probability of ranking the second was 6.11%, 74.01%, 19.88%, and the probability of ranking the third was 92.64%, 7.06%, 0.30%, respectively, showing the ranking list as T-tube drainage group >PDC group >BDS group in the incidence of postoperative bile leakage. The probability of ranking the first in the incidence of postoperative residual stones was 10.89%, 67.37%, 21.74% for the BDS group, PDC group, and T-tube drainage group, the probability of ranking the second was 16.09%, 21.09%, 62.82%, and the probability of ranking the third was 73.02%, 11.55%, 15.44%, respectively, showing the ranking list as PDC group >T-tube drainage group >BDS group in the incidence of postoperative residual stones. Conclusions:For patients with appropriate choledocholithiasis, BDS would be recommended first after LCBDE, which can reduce duct closure related complications.
