Objective To explore the risk factors for platelet transfusion refractoriness(PTR)in patients with hemato-logical disorders,construct a prediction model and validate the model efficacy.Methods Patients with hematological disor-ders who received platelet transfusion therapy in the Chengdu Second People's Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively included to judge the effectiveness of platelet transfusion and screened for risk factors by univariate and multivariate logistic regression.A prediction model for PTR was constructed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve and decision curve(DCA)to assess the differentiation,calibration and clinical value of the model,respectively.Results A total of 334 hematological patients were included,including 168 males and 176 females,with a PTR incidence of 40.4%.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that platelet transfusion vol-ume,erythrocyte transfusion volume,and neutrophil ratio were risk factors for PTR(P<0.05).A prediction model for PTR in hematological patients was established based on these risk factors.The area under the model's curve was 0.8377(95%CI:0.723-0.772),the sensitivity was 58.52%,and the specificity was 89.95%.The calibration curve showed that the S∶P was 0.964,the maximum absolute difference Emax was 0.032,and the average absolute difference Eavg was 0.009.The DCA a-nalysis showed that the model had clinical application value when the risk threshold ranged from 0.2 to 0.9.Conclusion The PTR prediction model based on platelet transfusion volume,erythrocyte transfusion volume and neutrophil ratio can pro-vide a basis for effective platelet transfusion in hematological patients.

Objective:To investigate the related risk factors of surgical appendectomy after endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) in children.Methods:From September 2019 to November 2023 at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University,the data from all related children with appendectomy after ERAT were analyzed. The general situation and main clinical manifestations of the children were collected. According to the effect of ERAT,the patients were divided into transfer to surgical group and appendicitis recurrence group by the reasons and time of transfer to surgical treatment. The indexes such as ERAT and reoperation process and pathological types of appendix after operation were collected,and the clinical experience was summarized.Results:Among the 242 children who underwent ERAT,32 cases underwent appendectomy again,including 19 males and 13 females,with an average age of（9.16±2.77）years,and the reoperation rate was 13.2%. The clinical manifestation was abdominal pain (32 cases,100.0%),mainly right lower abdominal pain (28 cases,87.5%),and the main duration was less than 3 months (30 cases,93.8%). Abdominal ultrasound or CT before ERAT mainly indicated appendicitis (11 cases,34.4%) and appendicitis complicated with appendiceal calculus (11 cases,34.4%). There were 9 children in transferred to surgical group,of which 5 cases were transferred to surgery because of ERAT intubation failure,and 4 cases were transferred to surgery because of appendix perforation or abscess. Postoperative pathology showed acute suppurative appendicitis in 5 cases and acute gangrenous appendicitis in 4 cases. There were 23 children in appendicitis recurrence group,whose abdominal pain was relieved after ERAT,but their symptoms were repeated after discharge. After clinical evaluation,they were diagnosed as recurrent appendicitis and underwent surgical appendectomy. Most of them were reoperated within 6 months after ERAT (21 cases,91.3%).Postoperative pathology was mainly chronic appendicitis (10 cases,43.5%).Conclusion:Acute suppurative appendicitis and acute gangrenous appendicitis are prone to catheterization or endoscopic failure during ERAT,and there is a high risk of surgical transfer. ERAT may relieve the symptoms of chronic appendicitis in children. If the symptoms are repeated,surgery is still needed to remove the appendix.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of retroperitoneoscopy in the treatment of adrenal masses in infants under 6 months old.Methods From January 2020 to November 2023,retroperitoneoscopic surgery was performed in 5 infants under 6 months old with adrenal tumors.Their age was from 1 month and 18 days to 4 months and 27 days,and their body weight was 5-8 kg.The lesion was found by prenatal ultrasonography in 1 case and by abdominal ultrasonography for other reasons after birth in 4 cases.Ultrasound and CT indicated a diameter of 1.7-5.5 cm for the adrenal masses.Results The operations of adrenalectomy and tumor resection were completed under retroperitoneoscopy.The operative time was 65-135 min(median,94 min).The intraoperative blood loss was less than 10 ml.The postoperative drainage tube retention time was 3-6 d(median,5 d).Pathological diagnosis showed 4 cases of adrenal neuroblastoma and 1 case of adrenal hyperplasia.Follow-ups for 1-36 months(median,3 months)with abdominal ultrasound and CT scanning showed no recurrence or metastasis.Conclusion Retroperitoneoscopy is relatively safe for the treatment of adrenal tumors in infants under 6 months old(tumors with acceptable boundaries).

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of thoracoscopic treatment of anterior mediastinal enterogenous cysts.Methods From July 2019 to July 2023,27 children diagnosed as having anterior mediastinal enterogenous cysts were treated with total thoracoscopic surgery through the lateral thoracic approach(three port method)in our department.The patients were placed in a healthy lateral position.The observation hole was located in the 5th intercostal space under the scapula,and the other 2 operating holes were established based on the location of the lesion and the endoscopic diamond-shaped method,both of which were 5 mm trocars.The CO2 pneumothorax was established at a pressure of 6 mm Hg.The visceral pleura of the cyst was opened with an electric hook,the cyst was fixed and pulled by intestinal forceps,and the cyst was completely removed by forceps and electric hook separation alternately.Results No conversion to thoracotomy was required.Complete resection was performed in 26 cases,and residual cyst wall existed in 1 case.Esophageal muscular layer was opened in 9 cases.During the operation,cysts obstructed the surgical field of view in 5 cases,which was not conducive to observation.The cyst puncture and fluid extraction were performed.The operation time was 45-120 min(median,70 min).The amount of blood loss was 3-10 ml(median,5 ml).Postoperative hospitalization lasted for 2-5 d(median,3d).The 27 cases were followed up for 1-43 months(median,22 months),and there was no recurrence.The compressed trachea in 2 cases was all recovered,with emphysema fully recovered.Conclusions Thoracoscopic treatment of anterior mediastinal enterogenous cysts in children is safe and feasible.When the surrounding structure of the lesion is complex,it can be combined with bronchoscopic or gastroscopic surgery if necessary.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of transumbilical single-site laparoscopic treatment of Meckel's diverticulum in children.Methods A total of 122 patients with Meckel's diverticulum were treated with transumbilical single-site laparoscopic treatment in our department from January 2019 to June 2023.A longitudinal incision was made through the umbilical cord,and 5 mm trocars were inserted into the left and right sides of the incision.The laparoscope and non-invasive intestinal forceps were inserted via the observation and operation holes to probe the abdominal cavity and locate the diverticulum.After the umbilical cord incision was expanded,the diverticulum was pulled out from the abdominal cavity for external resection and anastomosis.Results All the 122 children were diagnosed by laparoscopy.There were 4 cases who were diagnosed as having acute gangrenous appendicitis preoperatively,but were confirmed as having Meckel's diverticulum with perforation under laparoscope intraoperatively.There were 38 cases of lower digestive tract bleeding,48 cases of inflammatory reaction,12 cases of intussusception,8 cases of intestinal obstruction caused by cord and band compression,and 12 cases of peritonitis caused by perforation.All the operations were successfully completed,and the operation time was 58-125 min,with an average of 78 min.Pathological examination after surgery showed Meckel's diverticulum in all the cases.Two cases of incision infection were cured after dressing change treatment.The patients were given a liquid diet 2-4 d after surgery and discharged 5-9 d later.A total of 119 patients were followed up for 3-18 months after surgery,and the surgical results were satisfactory.There were no serious complications such as rectal bleeding,anastomotic stenosis,adhesive intestinal obstruction,or incisional hernia after surgery.Conclusions Transumbilical single-site laparoscopic treatment of Meckel's diverticulum in children is safe and feasible.Meckel's diverticulum combined with perforation or intestinal obstruction is not a contraindication of transumbilical single-site laparoscopic surgery.

【Objective】 To explore the effectiveness of PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle Management) in clinical emergency blood management. 【Methods】 The data of emergency blood-using cases from January 2021 to June 2022 in each clinical department of our hospital were collected to observe the blood matching time, blood retrieving time, and emergency bloodusing rate. They were divided into PDCA experimental group (Experimental group, July to December 2021, n=287), pre-PDCA experimental group (Control group 1, January to June 2021, n=516) and post-PDCA experimental cessation group (Control group 2, January to June 2022, n=277). Subgroup analysis was performed according to different departments, which were Internal Medicine Department, Surgery Depatment, and ICU. The situation of non-emergency blood use occupying emergency lanes in the pre-implementation period was continuously improved using PDCA, and the differences in blood matching time, blood retrieving time, and emergency blood-using rate among the three groups were compared and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and chi-square test. 【Results】 The blood matching time and blood retrieving time (M, min) in the experimental group, control group 1 and control group 2 were 19.00 vs 45.50 vs 23.00 and 22.00 vs 44.00 vs 25.00, respectively (P< 0.05), and were 19.00 vs 47.00 vs 24.00 and 23.00 vs 56.00 vs 30. 50 in Internal Medicine Department, 18.00 vs 57.50 vs 14.00 and 32.00 vs 41.00 vs 24.00 in Surgery Department, 20.00 vs 42.00 vs 23.00 and 16.50 vs 34.00 vs 12.50 in ICU (P<0.05). The rate of emergency blood use in the experimental group, control group 1, and control group 2 were 6.9%(287/4 141) vs 11.0%(516/4 689) vs 6.8%(277/4 089), respectively (P< 0.05), and were 6.3%(175/2 769) vs 11.8% (297/2 512) vs 6.7% (186/2 789) in Internal Medicine Department, 5.9%(24/405) vs 3.6 %(44/1 213) vs 7.4% (37/501) in Surgery Department, and 9.1% (88/967) vs 18% (175/973) vs 6.8%(54/799) in ICU (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The adoption of PDCA in Blood Transfusion Department can effectively shorten the blood matching time and blood retrieving time for clinical emergencies and improve the success rate of emergency blood transfusion.

【Objective】 To observe the effect of platelet transfusion in inpatients with haematological diseases, analyze the possible causes of platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR), in order to further improve the efficacy of platelet transfusion. 【Methods】 A total of 310 patients with blood disease in our hospital from August 2020 to November 2021 who received platelet transfusion were retrospectively analyzed. Possible influencing factors of platelet transfusion, including gender, age, platelet preservation time, number of platelet transfusions, complication and red blood cell product transfusion were analyzed. 【Results】 Patients were divided into effective group and refractory group according to percentage platelet recovery (PPR) and corrected count increment (CCI). PTR was defined as PPR <20% or CCI <5 000 after two consecutive transfusions in 24 h or clinical bleeding symptoms or tendency not significantly controlled. Statistical differences were noticed between the two groups in terms of gender, pretransfusion white blood cell count, anemia, and whether antibiotics were used (P<0.05). The type of disease, gender, anemia and number of comorbidities were associated with PTR. The incidence of PTR was the highest in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, and the incidence of PTR was higher in men than in women. Transfusion units of suspended red blood cells and the number of comorbidities were negatively correlated with the transfusion efficacy (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Possible influencing factors of platelet transfusion included the level of white blood cells before transfusion, use of antibiotics, anemia and transfusion of red blood cells, number of comorbidities, and type of disease, while no significant differences were found in age, hemolysis, hypersplenism, platelet preservation time, and number of platelet transfusions on transfusion efficacy.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of using ligation clip-assisted modified " expansion and co-llapse method" to determine the intersegment plane in thoracoscopic resection of the external posterior basal segment (S 9+ 10) in children with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). Methods:Retrospective study.The clinical data of 12 CPAM children who underwent thoracoscopic S 9+ 10 resection in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from July 2019 to May 2021 were collected and analyzed.There were 7 males and 5 females.The age at operation ranged from 3.50 to 11.50 months.The body weight of patients ranged from 6.5 to 11.5 kg.In all the patients, the ligation clip-assisted modified " expansion and collapse method" was applied during the operation to determine the intersegment plane (S 9+ 10 was in the expansion state and the remaining lungs were in the collapse state) before thoracoscopic S 9+ 10 resection.After S 9+ 10 resection, the surgical treatment and postoperative recovery were summarized and analyzed. Results:All the operations were completed under thoracoscopy, and there was no conversion to thoracotomy.In 11 patients, the intersegment plane was accurately determined by the ligation clips-assisted improved " expansion and collapse method" , and the S 9+ 10 segment was successfully resected.Of these 11 cases, 8 cases had right S 9+ 10 resection and 3 cases had left S 9+ 10 resection.In the process of using the ligation clip-assisted improved " expansion and collapse method" to determine the intersegment plane, the operator needed to clamp the ligation clip after the anesthesiologist expanded the lung completely.Because the operation was not stable enough, the ligation clip fell off and did not clamp S 9+ 10, resulting in operation failure.The operation was changed to the traditional " expansion and collapse method" . Besides, the basal segment bronchus was cut off by mistake, so the right basal segment had to be resected.The operation time ranged from 85 to 205 min, with a median of 149 min.Intraoperative bleeding ranged from 5 to 15 mL, with a median of 10 mL.The indwelling time of drainage tubes ranged from 2 to 4 days, with a median of 3 days.The postoperative hospital stay ranged from 5 to 8 days, with a median of 6 days.Postoperative pathological examination results suggested 4 cases of type 1, 6 cases of type 2 and 2 cases of type 3.There were 2 cases of simple subcutaneous emphysema without postoperative complications such as bleeding, bronchopleural fistula and atelectasis.The follow-up time ranged from 6 to 28 months, with a median of 15 months.The chest CT of all children showed no residual lesions and no residual cavities in the involved hemithorax. Conclusions:Ligation clip-assisted improved " expansion and collapse method" for determining the intersegment plane is suitable for CPAM children with a narrow thoracic space, and the operation is simple and effective.It is relatively safe and feasible to use this method in S 9+ 10 resection.

Objective:To explore the clinical typing, diagnostic method and treatment plan of congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) combined with communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) in children.Methods:The clinical data of 2 children with CTS and CBPFM who were treated in the Center for Respiratory Intervention of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University in May 2021 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Studies were retrieved from domestic and foreign databases, so as to summarize the clinical characteristics of CTS complicated with CBPFM and investigate the typing method of CBPFM.Results:One patient was a 4-year-old girl, who sought the medical advice due to " recurrent cough and asthma for more than 4 years" . She was diagnosed with typeⅡ CBPFM at the right side and CTS.Surgical thoracoscopic right pneumonectomy plus oesophageal repair was performed.The other patient was a 7-month-and-2-day-old female, who visited the hospital for " difficult eating, dyspnea and purple lip cyanosis for 7 months" . This patient was diagnosed with typeⅡ CBPFM at the left side and CTS.Slide tracheoplasty and left pneumonectomy+ oesophageal repair were performed successively.Eight English and one Chinese studies were collected.Twenty-one children with CBPFM and 12 children with CTS and CBPFM were included.Eleven CTS cases with sufficient diagnostic evidence were complicated with typeⅠA and typeⅡCBPFM.Conclusions:CTS and CBPFM can lead to severe wheezing and dyspnea.Clinicians should enhance their awareness and be more cautious.There may be a potential link between CTS and typeⅠA and typeⅡCBPFM, and further investigation is required.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of using faster regional convolutional neural network (Faster R-CNN) to evaluate the status of circumferential resection margin (CRM) of rectal cancer in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods:This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-1800017410). Case inclusion criteria: (1) the positive area of CRM was located between the plane of the levator ani, anal canal and peritoneal reflection; (2) rectal malignancy was confirmed by electronic colonoscopy and histopathological examination; (3) positive CRM was confirmed by postoperative pathology or preoperative high-resolution MRI. Exclusion criteria: patients after neoadjuvant therapy, recurrent cancer after surgery, poor quality images, giant tumor with extensive necrosis and tissue degeneration, and rectal tissue construction changes in previous pelvic surgery. According to the above criteria, MRI plain scan images of 350 patients with rectal cancer and positive CRM in The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from July 2016 to June 2019 were collected. The patients were classified by gender and tumor position, and randomly assigned to the training group (300 cases) and the validation group (50 cases) at a ratio of 6:1 by computer random number method. The CRM positive region was identified on the T2WI image using the LabelImg software. The identified training group images were used to iteratively train and optimize parameters of the Faster R-CNN model until the network converged to obtain the best deep learning model. The test set data were used to evaluate the recognition performance of the artificial intelligence platform. The selected indicators included accuracy, sensitivity, positive predictive value, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, areas under the ROC curves (AUC), and the time taken to identify a single image.Results:The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the CRM status determined by the trained Faster R-CNN artificial intelligence approach were 0.884, 0.857, 0.898, 0.807, and 0.926, respectively; the AUC was 0.934 (95% CI: 91.3% to 95.4%). The Faster R-CNN model's automatic recognition time for a single image was 0.2 s.Conclusion:The artificial intelligence model based on Faster R-CNN for the identification and segmentation of CRM-positive MRI images of rectal cancer is established, which can complete the risk assessment of CRM-positive areas caused by in-situ tumor invasion and has the application value of preliminary screening.
