ObjectiveTo provide a clinical reference for rational selection of the methods for common bile duct closure after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in patients with recurrent choledocholithiasis (RCL). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 121 patients with RCL who underwent LCBDE in the Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology, from February 2022 to December 2025, and according to the method for common bile duct closure, the patients were divided into primary duct closure group (PDC group with 58 patients) and T-tube drainage group (TTD group with 63 patients). The two groups were compared in terms of time of operation, drainage volume on day 1 after surgery, total bilirubin level on day 3 after surgery, time to diet after surgery, time to drainage tube removal after surgery, common bile duct diameter at 1 week after surgery, length of postoperative hospital stay, total hospitalization costs, and complications, and the risk factors for postoperative complications were analyzed. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors for postoperative complications. ResultsCompared with the TTD group, the PDC group had a significantly shorter time of operation [48.50 (39.00 — 59.25) min vs 55.00 (46.00 — 69.00) min, Z=-2.726, P=0.006], a significantly lower level of total bilirubin on day 3 after surgery [17.25 (14.43 — 21.30) μmol/L vs 20.06 (16.40 — 29.30) μmol/L, Z=-2.950, P=0.003], a significantly shorter time to diet after surgery [1 (1 — 1) d vs 1 (1 — 2) d, Z=-4.506, P<0.001], a significantly shorter time to drainage tube removal after surgery [7 (7 — 7) d vs 8 (8 — 9) d, Z=-9.693, P<0.001], a significantly shorter length of postoperative hospital stay [8 (8 — 8) d vs 10 (9 — 11) d, Z=-8.960, P<0.001], and significantly lower total hospitalization costs [21 750 (20 369 — 23 310) yuan vs 24 889 (23 438 — 26 920) yuan, Z=-5.572, P<0.001], and common bile duct diameter at 1 week after surgery in the PDC group was closer to the normal physiological anatomical structure of the biliary tract compared with that in the TTD group [1.0 (0.9 — 1.1) cm vs 1.0 (1.0 — 1.1) cm, Z=-2.064, P=0.039]. Compared with the TTD group, the PDC group had significantly lower incidence rates of total complications (10.34% vs 26.98%, P=0.024) and electrolyte disturbance (1.72% vs 15.87%, P=0.006). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that common bile duct diameter <1.3 cm before surgery and total bilirubin level ≥21.0 μmol/L before surgery were independent risk factors for postoperative complications, while primary duct closure was an independent protective factor against postoperative complications (P<0.05). ConclusionUnder the premise of strict control of indications, PDC after LCBDE for RCL patients can accelerate recovery and reduce complications and hospitalization costs, thereby demonstrating greater advantages in clinical application.

Objective To develop a mammogram microcalcification detection model(DL model)based on Attention U-Net for realizing the efficient detection of microcalcifications,and to investigate the effects of breast density and microcalcification type on the microcalcification detection performance of the DL model.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 694 images from 347 patients undergoing mammography.Through the independent image diagnosis by junior physicians and review by senior physicians,the reference standard for microcalcification detection was established.Neural network training was performed to establish a DL model.The performance of the model for microcalcification detection was evaluated using precision rate,recall rate,intersection over union(IoU)and F1-score which were calculated based on calcification area or quantity;and the effects of microcalcification type(benignvsmalignant)and breast density(a+bvsc+d)on the model performance were also analyzed.Results For detecting microcalcifications by the DL model,the precision rate,recall rate,IoU and F1-score were 85.12%±18.39%,78.18%±19.25%,68.29%±21.39%and 78.96%±17.70%when the calculation was based on calcification area,and those were 76.72%±19.85%,85.12%±18.39%,67.13%±23.84%and 77.65%±9.37%when the calculation was based on calcification quantity.The differences in precision rate,recall rate,IoU,F1-score of DL model in different microcalcification types(benignvsmalignant)and breast densities(a+bvsc+d)were insignificant.Conclusion The developed mammogram microcalcification detection model based on Attention U-Net can effectively detect breast microcalcifications and is conducive to the quantitative research on breast microcalcifications.Meanwhile,the model exhibits high stability,and the breast density and microcalcification type have trivial effects on the microcalcification detection performance of the model.

OBJECTIVETo observe the prevention effects of patients with lung exudation and pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat poisoning in sodium bicarbonate (SB) with gastric lavage, atomization inhalation and intravenous injection.
METHODSTo collect 38 patients with paraquat poisoning in hospital, after poison immediately with gastric lavage of 1.5% SB, and atomization inhalation of 5% SB 10~15 ml twice daily and intravenous injection of 5% SB twice a day, continuous application of 5~7 days. and the HRCT score and liver and kidney function was performed on patients with lung after treatment. And the extraction of 38 SB patients with previously untreated with SB for comparison.
RESULTSLung HRCT average score in 72 h, 7 d, 30 d on patients with paraquat poisoning untreated with SB reached 2.87, 3.12, 2.13, HRCT display shows that the appearance of the wear glass shadow, grid shadow, honeycomb shadow, and other signs of fibrosis. Average HRCT reached 1.95, 2.20, 1.67 on patients treated with SB,signs of lung exudation and fibrosis was significantly reduced,compare two groups,there was statistically significance (P<0.01). And compared to the control group, activity of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartic acid transaminase (AST) decreased significantly in group of paraquat poisoning with triple application of SB, the level of serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) significantly decreased, the difference is statistically significant (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe triple application of SB can reduced the pulmonary fibrosis and effusion induced by paraquat poisoning,and protective effect on the function of liver and kidney is obvious, suggesting that the method for treatment of paraquat poisoning, prevention of paraquat lung and improve survival rate has the exact effect.
