Compared to traditional suturing, lung stapling using automatic staplers offers advantages such as smaller trauma, faster wound healing, ease of operation, and lower complication rates, making it widely used in clinical practice. However, there are significant differences in bronchial tissue thickness at different anatomical locations, and the market is flooded with various types of staplers. Currently, there is a lack of recommended stapling schemes for bronchial staplers at different anatomical locations. This article reviews the development and application of automatic staplers and summarizes some types of staplers that are currently used in clinical practice, with the aim of promoting the formation of individualized stapler selection protocols for minimally invasive thoracic surgery based on the Chinese population.

Objective A new type fighter pilot's helmet comfort was investigated to provide basis for generalization and popularization.Methods A quantitative questionnaire was designed to evaluate the comfort of current helmets and new helmets by pilots of series A and B fighters,and compare the new helmets with the current helmets.Thirdly,quantitative statistics of questionnaires were carried out to analyze the pilot's opinions on current helmets and new helmets.Based on the structure and quality characteristics of current helmets and new helmets,the investigation results were analyzed and discussed.Results A total of 167 pilots from series A and B fighter aircraft participated in trial wear and questionnaire investigation of new helmets.Among them,103 pilots from series A fighters and 64 pilots from series B fighters.Compared with the pilot's current helmet,the new helmet is lightweight and comfortable.Among them,92.2%of the pilots of the series A believe that the new helmet is more comfortable than the current helmet,and 90.3%of pilots think it is necessary to replace the current helmet with the new helmet.90.6%of the pilots of the Series B think the new helmet is more comfortable than the current helmet,and 92.2%of pilots think it is necessary to replace the current helmet with the new helmet.Conclusion The new fighter pilot's helmet is light and comfortable,and has been widely praised by pilots.The research results provide data support and decision-making basis for its universalization and popularization.

Objective:To investigate the association between exposure to ambient air pollutants and pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and to clarify the susceptible windows of exposure. Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 2 071 infertile women aged ≤40 years who underwent the first fresh cleavage stage embryo transfer in the Department of Reproductive Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2014 to December 2021. Patients were divided into heating season group and non-heating season group based on whether the start date of gonadotropin (Gn) was during the heating season or not, and baseline data and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Daily average levels of six criteria air pollutants [fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM 10), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), sulfur dioxide (SO 2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O 3) max-8 h] in four discrete periods were obtained. The four discrete periods included period 1, 75 d prior to Gn start to Gn start; period 2, Gn start to oocyte retrieval; period 3, oocyte retrieval to day 3 embryo transfer; period 4, embryo transfer to serum human chorionic gonadotropin test. The primary outcome was ongoing pregnancy. A multiple logistic regression model was used to investigate the association between air pollutant exposure and pregnancy outcomes, adjusted for important confounders. Results:The biochemical pregnancy rate [51.7% (465/900)], the clinical pregnancy rate [45.2% (407/900)], the ongoing pregnancy rate [38.2% (344/900)], and the live birth rate [36.1% (325/900)] in the heating season group were significantly lower than those in the non-heating season group [56.3% (659/1 171), P=0.037; 51.2% (599/1 171), P=0.007; 44.3% (519/1 171), P=0.005; 41.3% (484/1 171), P=0.016]. A significant negative correlation was observed between SO 2 and NO 2 exposure and ongoing pregnancy in all four time windows. SO 2 increased by one interquartile range (IQR), corresponding to adjusted OR (a OR) and 95% CI were 0.92 (0.85-0.99), 0.92 (0.87-0.99), 0.93 (0.87-0.99) and 0.93 (0.87-0.99), respectively. An IQR increase in NO 2 was also significantly associated with decreased odds of ongoing pregnancy (a OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.72-0.95; a OR=0.87, 95% CI: 0.77-0.97; a OR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.81-1.00; a OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.77-0.95, respectively). During period 1 and period 4, we observed adverse effects of PM 10 exposure on ongoing pregnancy (a OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.75-0.98; a OR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.80-1.00, respectively). In Period 1, PM 2.5 exposure was significantly associated with reduced odds for ongoing pregnancy with a OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.75-0.99. In addition, NO 2 exposure was associated with a decreased likelihood of achieving clinical pregnancy across all exposure windows except for period 3. However, no associations were noted with CO and O 3. Conclusion:Ambient air pollution has detrimental effects on pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer. Notably, the adverse impacts were also observed during preantral-antral follicle transition stage before IVF/ICSI treatment. A significant negative association between NO 2 exposure and pregnancy outcomes was observed in almost all exposure windows, indicating that NO 2 may be the main air pollutant associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract The outbreak of tuberculosis in campus shows a profound impact on academic learning and mental health of students, which might result in more serious social problems. The present editorial addresses weak links in the school tuberculosis prevention and control. Disease prevention and control institutions, medical institutions, education administrative departments and schools need to clarify work responsibilities, strictly implement the school tuberculosis prevention and control laws, regulations and management guidelines, and coordinate with multiple departments, with the aim to strengthen early warning capacity for campus tuberculosis, improve tuberculosis screening and risk assessment of relevant personnel, and implement the health checkup of schools and faculty, as well as the screening, diagnosis, registration, treatment and follow up of students cases. To further improve tuberculosis control across China, strengthening the awareness of tuberculosis prevention and control among institutions and the public, and improving adherence to tuberculosis treatment, as well as moving forward from passive to active tuberculosis monitoring and early prevention, reducing the occurrence of tuberculosis outbreak in school should be prioritized, so as to promote the smooth development of tuberculosis prevention and control work in China.

Objective:To provide accurate eye position data for the system design of helmet mounted display by studying the eye position distribution and anthropometric items of pilots' head and face.Methods:The head and face data of 372 Chinese male fighter pilots were captured by a non-contact 3D scanning system to build cloud models. By noise cutting and mending processing each head and face model was built with same template mesh and unified anatomical coordinate system. The eye position design was defined according to monocular or binocular display. The positions (core of pupils) of left and right eyes and 12 anthropometric items were calculated from the 3D models.Results:The database of 372 fighter pilots′ head and face 3D models was established and it included 12 anthropometric items such as the coordinates of left and right eyes position, inter pupillary distance and vertex-pupil height.Conclusions:Based on 3D scanning technology, the distribution of eye locations (designed eye position and eye box) of pilots were built under the human head anatomical coordinate system and related anthropometric items of head and face are obtained, which could be used as the data foundation for designing pilot′s helmet mounted display system.

Objective:To propose and verify a surgical classification system for the axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor.Methods:The CZH surgical classification system was originally developed for the axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor. The CZH surgical classification system includes seven types, according to the anatomic features and the extension of tumor violation. A total of 136 patients (79 males and 57 females) with axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor from multiple tertiary centers who received surgery from July 2006 to July 2019 were included. The average age was 44.40±17.55 years (8-83 years) old. There were 99 malignant tumors and 37 aggressive benign tumors included. The number of patients with each classification was presented as followed, Type I 13, Type II 15, Type IIIa 3, Type IIIb 20, Type IVa 43, Type IVb 12, Type Va 21, Type Vb 3, Type VI 2, Type VIIa 3 and Type VIIb 1. Surgical procedures were selected according to different types in classification. The inter- and intra-observer consistencies were evaluated by the Kendall's W test. The VAS, Frankel score, overall survival and recurrence free survival were recorded during the follow-up. Results:The inter- and intra-observer consistent coefficient was 0.973 and 0.996, respectively ( P<0.05). The single posterior approach was adopted for the Type II tumors. Other patients underwent surgery by the combined antero-posterior approach. The majority in anterior approach (113 cases) was the modified submandibular approach. The reconstruction modes included anterior "T" shape titanium mesh (112 cases) or the 3D printed prothesis (7 cases) combined with the posterior occipto-cervical fusion (92 cases) or the pedicle screw system (44 cases). The average surgical duration and the volume of intraoperative bleeding was 348.40±136.14 min (60-760 min) and 1 225.69±859.40 ml (80-4 000 ml), respectively. The operation duration and volume of intraoperative bleeding among each type were with statistical difference. The patients with Type IV, V tumors had longer operation duration than those with Type II tumors. Those with Type V and VII tumors had longer operation duration than those with Type I tumors. The patients with Type V tumors had more intraoperative bleeding than those with Type I-IV tumors. The average preoperative VAS score was 4.15±2.25 and then was reduced significantly to 0.62±0.71 and 0.38±0.59 at one and three months after operation, respectively. The Frankel score was also significantly ameliorated at one and three months postoperatively. There were 22 postoperative complications (16.2%). The complications included cerebral spinal fluid leak (12.5%), dysphagia and/or dysphonia (7.4%), dyspnea (5.1%), wound infection (3.7%), wound hemorrhage (2.2%) and pharyngeal dehiscence (1.5%). The incidence of postoperative complication was 25.9% in Type IV-VII tumors, while 11.8% in Type I-III tumors. Conclusion:CZH surgical classification system was verified with high observer consistency. This classification system could assist surgeons to select proper surgical approaches, resection modes and reconstruction modes, and thus ensure the safety of surgery and reduce the recurrence. The tumors in Type IV, V and VII may be with more challenging for surgeons. The incidence of postoperative complication in Type IV-VII tumors may be higher than that in Type I-III tumors.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between urinary 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydroguanosine(8-oxo-Gsn)and physical function in community-dwelling elderly people.Methods:A total of 210 community-dwelling elderly people aged 75 years and over were enrolled in this cross-sectional analysis.According to the scores of short physical performance battery(SPPB), subjects were divided into three groups: the high performance group(summary score 10-12), the intermediate performance group(summary score 7-9)and the low performance group(summary score 0-6). All participants received a comprehensive geriatric assessment.Urinary 8-oxo-dGsn, serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and white blood cell count were measured.The correlation between urinary 8-oxo-Gsn and physical function was analyzed by using Pearson correlation analysis and the ordered Logistic regression model.Results:The scores of activities of daily living(ADL), instrumental activities of daily living(IADL), grip strength and gait speed were lower in the low performance group than in the other two groups( H=47.002, 110.902, F=11.962, 235.952, all P<0.001). Levels of urinary 8-oxo-Gsn and serum hs-CRP were higher in the low performance group than in the other two groups( F=23.780 and 13.259, both P<0.001). There was no significant difference in levels of urinary 8-oxo-dGsn or white blood cell count between the three groups(both P>0.05). Urinary 8-oxo-Gsn was negatively correlated with gait speed, grip strength and SPPB score( r=-0.559, -0.302 and-0.450, all P<0.001)and was positively correlated with the time of five-times-sit-to-stand test( r=0.290, P<0.001). Adjusting for age, gender and Charlson comorbidity index, the ordered Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated levels of urinary 8-oxo-Gsn( OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.06-1.77, P<0.05)and hs-CRP( OR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.04-1.48, P<0.05)decreased physical function. Conclusions:Urinary 8-oxo-Gsn is independently associated with the decline of physical function in community-dwelling elderly adults, suggesting that the oxidative stress level is increased in the elderly with poor physical function.
