ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） combined with oral cholangiopancreatography in the treatment of major duodenal papilla gallbladder polyps. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of eight patients with choledocholithiasis and gallbladder polyps who underwent ERCP and combined with oral cholangiopancreatography for major duodenal papilla cholecystectomy in Center of Digestive Endoscopy， Jilin People’s Hospital， from May 2022 to June 2024， and related data were collected， including the success rate of surgery， the technical success rate of gallbladder polyp removal， the superselective method of cystic duct， the time of operation， the time of gallbladder polyp removal， and surgical complications. ResultsBoth the success rate of surgery and the technical success rate of gallbladder polyp removal reached 100%， and of all eight patients， three patients used guide wire to enter the gallbladder under direct view， while five patients received oral cholangiopancreatography to directly enter the gallbladder. The time of operation was 51.88±12.34 minutes， and the time of gallbladder polyp removal was 23.13±10.94 minutes. The diameter of gallbladder polyp was 2‍ ‍—‍ ‍8 mm， and pathological examination showed inflammatory polyps in three patients， adenomatous polyps in one patient， and cholesterol polyps in four patients. There were no complications during or after surgery. The patients were followed up for 2‍ ‍—‍ ‍27 months after surgery， and no recurrence of gallbladder polyp was observed. ConclusionOral cholangiopancreatography is technically safe and feasible in endoscopic major duodenal papilla cholecystectomy.

Clinical management of atopic dermatitis (AD) is challenged by its susceptibility to recurrence, side effects, and high costs. We found that Portulaca oleracea L.-derived nanovesicles (PDNV) exert anti-inflammatory effects by modulating macrophage M1/M2 polarization. These effects were achieved through pathways including inhibition of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) protein expression in diseased tissues, demonstrating their potential to ameliorate AD symptoms. To increase the transdermal permeation of PDNV, dissolvable microneedles composed primarily of hyaluronic acid (HA) were developed as an adjunctive means of delivery. Meanwhile, polysaccharides of Portulaca oleracea L., which were synergistic with PDNV, were used as microneedle constituent materials to enhance the mechanical properties and physical stability of HA. This new means of delivery significantly improves the treatment of AD and also provides new options for the efficient utilization of plant extracellular vesicles and the treatment of AD. In addition, transcriptomic analysis of PDNV showed that the mRNAs of Portulaca oleracea L. are closest to those of ferns, which may shed light on related evolutionary and plant species identification studies.

Objective To summarize the clinicopathological characteristics,diagnostic and therapeutic process and aeromedical evaluation of 17 cases of thyroid cancer in Chinese military pilots in order to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of disease and aeromedical evaluation of patients with thyroid cancer in military pilots in the future.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinicopathological characteristics,treatment methods and aerospace medical evaluation conclusions of 17 military pilots with thyroid cancer who were hospitalized and underwent diagnosis,treatment and aeromedical evaluation at the Department of Aviation Medicine of Xijing Hospital from March 2021 to March 2025.Results All 17 pilots with thyroid cancer were male,and the age of onset ranged from 22 to 51 years old(with a median age of 40 years old).All patients underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules or enlarged cervical lymph nodes before the operation.The postoperative pathological types were all papillary thyroid carcinoma.Among them,16 cases were papillary thyroid microcarcinoma,9 cases were combined with regional lymph node metastasis,and 1 case with postoperative complications of Horner's syndrome recovered after treatmentwas.14 patients underwent unilateral glandular lobe and isthectomy of the thyroid,3 patients underwent total/near-total thyroidectomy,2 patients received radioactive 131I treatment after the operation,and 17 patients received thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)suppression therapy after the operation.After aerospace medical evaluation,15 cases were qualified for flight duties,the observation time was 3 to 6 months(with an average observation time of 4.2 months),1 case reached the age limit,and 1 case was temporarily unqualified for failure to achieve TSH suppression.After 0.5 to 4.0 years of follow-up,no patient showed signs of recurrence or metastasis.Conclusion For thyroid cancer in military pilots,universal screeningprotocols and earlydetection,as well as standardized therapeutic regimensshould be carried out.Evidence-based aeromedical evaluations and long-term monitoring should be conducted based on the aircraft type,jobs,and flight experience to preserve military combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.

Objective To discuss the technical advantages of MRI image fusion technology in guiding percutaneous balloon compression(PBC)for trigeminal neuralgia(TN).Methods The clinical data of 13 patients with TN,who received MRI image fusion technology-guided PBC from November 2022 to July 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.The MRI images of the trigeminal nerve obtained one week before surgery were fused with the intraoperative DynaCT images of the skull base so as to simultaneously display the Meckel s cave and foramen ovale,and under the 3-D view the optimal puncture path was determined.The needle was positioned at the entry point of the skin,than the skin was cut open with a sharp surgical blade and the needle was inserted to the foramen ovale area to a predetermined depth.Lateral skull base fluoroscopy and DynaCT scan were used to check that the puncture needle tip was placed into the foramen ovale.Than the puncture needle was replaced by a fine guiding-needle and it was pushed into the Meckel's cave.Under the dual guidance of lateral fluoroscopy and fusion image,the balloon was push forward and was filled with iodine contrast media to compress the trigeminal ganglion within the Meckel's cave.After completion of the treatment,the balloon and puncture needle were removed and manual oppression was applied on the face to achieve hemostasis.Results Immediately after PBC,the pain was relieved in all patients.No permanent or serious complications occurred.One patient had a relapse 3 months after PBC and a second PBC procedure had to be carried out.No obvious pain recurrence was observed in the remaining patients during follow-up period.During the surgery,the mean number of foramen ovale puncturing was(1.31±0.46)times,the mean X-ray exposure time was(8.64±5.66)min,and the mean cumulative dose of X-ray was(570.29±257.15)mGy.After PBC,12 patients(92.31％)developed facial numbness and one patient(7.69％)developed facial pain,all of which were healed after treatment.Conclusion MRI image fusion technology can improve the visualization and accuracy of PBC procedure.It can also reduce the number of puncturing,decrease the radiation exposure dose,and improve the surgical ability of young doctors.Therefore,MRI image fusion technology should be further developed and applied in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of bilateral vertebral puncture guided by an angle-adjustable linear laser auxiliary device versus free-hand bilateral vertebral puncture. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 47 patients who underwent thoracolumbar percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP) from July 2022 to July 2023. All patients received bilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty, among whom 27 cases underwent conventional free-hand puncture (conventional puncture group) and 20 cases underwent puncture guided by a laser auxiliary device (auxiliary puncture group). In the conventional puncture group, there were 11 males and 16 females, with an average age of (69.6±5.1) years and a disease duration of (6.5±3.8) days;the fractured vertebrae were T₁₁-T₁₂ in 13 cases and L₁-L₂ in 14 cases. In the auxiliary puncture group, there were 7 males and 13 females, with an average age of (70.8±5.6) years and a disease duration of (6.4±3.8) days;the fractured vertebrae were T₁₁-T₁₂ in 7 cases and L₁-L₂ in 13 cases. The operation time, total blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, fluoroscopy duration, radiation dose, puncture success rate, and surgical complications were compared between the two groups. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate low back pain before surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 1 year after surgery. RESULTS: All patients achieved successful puncture, with good postoperative wound healing and no complications. The operation time of the auxiliary puncture group was (12.1±2.6) minutes, which was shorter than that of the conventional puncture group (14.1±2.8) minutes. The total blood loss of the auxiliary puncture group was (228.5±35.8) ml, less than that of the conventional puncture group (257.0±48.3) ml. The fluoroscopy times, fluoroscopy duration, and radiation dose of the auxiliary puncture group were (5.4±1.3) times, (15.9±3.3) seconds, and (159.4±37.4) μSv, respectively, all lower than those of the conventional puncture group (6.4±1.6) times, (18.8±4.6) seconds, (192.2±48.5) μSv, with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in low back VAS scores between the two groups before surgery, 2 days after surgery, or 1 year after surgery(P>0.05). CONCLUSION Both laser auxiliary device-guided vertebral puncture and free-hand vertebral puncture have high success rates and similar postoperative curative effects. However, the laser auxiliary device-guided puncture has shorter operation time, less blood loss, and lower radiation hazard.

ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 12 patients with difficult choledocholithiasis who underwent ERCP and electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in Department of Gastroenterology， Jilin People’s Hospital， from May to November 2022. The clinical effect of lithotripsy and lithotomy was observed， and postoperative complications and time of surgical operation were assessed. ResultsAmong the 12 patients， 11 （91.67%） were successfully treated by electrohydraulic lithotripsy under direct view， 9 （75.00%） achieved first-attempt success in lithotripsy， and 11 （91.67%） had complete removal of calculi； 1 patient was found to have stenosis of the bile ducts caused by multiple biliary tract surgeries， and grade Ⅱ intrahepatic bile duct stones above the sites of stenosis were removed under direct view， but there were still residues of grade Ⅲ intrahepatic bile duct stones， which led to the fact that complete calculus removal was not achieved. The mean time of ERCP operation was 91.3±26.2 minutes， including a time of 41.8±22.2 minutes for energy lithotripsy. There were 2 cases of postoperative biliary tract infection which were improved after anti-infective therapy， 2 cases of hyperamylasemia which were not given special treatment， and 3 cases of mild pancreatitis which were improved after symptomatic medication， and there were no complications such as bleeding and perforation. ConclusionERCP combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system is safe， effective， and feasible in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and diagnosis of imported Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale malaria cases in Anhui Province, Hubei Province, Zhejiang Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Henan Province from 2014 to 2021, so as to provide insights into malaria control in these five provinces. Methods All data pertaining to malaria cases reported in five provinces of China were captured from Chinese Disease Control and Prevention Information System from 2014 to 2021, and the epidemiological characteristics of imported P. malariae and P. ovale malaria cases were analysed using a descriptive epidemiological method. The duration from onset of malaria to initial diagnosis, duration from initial diagnosis to definitive diagnosis, institutions of initial and definitive diagnoses, and proportion of correct malaria diagnosis at initial diagnosis were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 1 223 imported P. malariae and P. ovale malaria cases were reported in Anhui Province, Hubei Province, Zhejiang Province, Henan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from 2014 to 2021, there were 158 P. malariae malaria cases (12.92%) and 1 065 P. ovale malaria cases (87.08%). Totally 98.53% (1 205/1 223) of the imported malaria cases were from Africa, with Angola (18.99%, 30/158), Nigeria (11.39%,18/158), Cameroon (10.76%, 17/158), Ghana (10.13%, 16/158) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (10.13%,16/158) as predominant countries where P. malariae malaria cases were from, and Ghana (23.19%, 247/1 065), Cameroon (14.74%, 157/1 065), Nigeria (9.39%, 100/1 065) and Angola (6.95%, 74/1 065) as predominant countries where P. ovale malaria cases were from. There were significant differences in the duration from onset of malaria to initial diagnosis (χ² = 27.673, P = 0.000) and duration from initial diagnosis to definitive diagnosis of P. malariae and P. ovale malaria cases (χ² = 29.808, P = 0.000), and the proportions of correct initial diagnosis of P. malariae and P. ovale malaria cases were 38.61% (61/158) and 56.53% (602/1 065). There were 74.69% (118/158) of P. malariae malaria cases with definitive diagnosis in county-, city-, and province-level medical institutions, and 79.25% (844/1 065) of P. ovale malaria cases with definitive diagnosis in county- and city-level medical institutions and county-level centers for disease control and prevention. Conclusions The imported P. malariae and P. ovale malaria cases in Anhui Province, Hubei Province, Zhejiang Province, Henan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from 2014 to 2021 were mainly returned from Africa and the proportion of correct diagnosis of P. malariae and P. ovale malaria was low at initial diagnosis. Persistent improvements in the diagnostic capability of malaria are required in medical institutions.
