Objective To investigate the impact of intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion volume on the postoperative oxygenation index in lung transplant recipients. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of patients who underwent lung transplantation at Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from 2021 to 2023. Patients were divided into a non-severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) group and a severe PGD group based on whether their postoperative oxygenation index was>200 mm Hg at 0, 24, and 48 h. General patient data and intraoperative RBC transfusion volumes were compared between the two groups. A binary logistic regression model was constructed to explore the effect size (OR and its 95%CI) of RBC transfusion volume on postoperative oxygenation status at different time points (0, 24, and 48 h). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to evaluate the model's diagnostic performance. Results A total of 351 patients were included (260 males, 91 females), with ages ranging from 20 to 77 years. The OR for the effect of intraoperative RBC transfusion on poor oxygenation was 1.486 (95%CI 0.982 to 2.248, P=0.061) at 0 h postoperatively, 3.111 (95%CI 1.793 to 5.399, P<0.001) at 24 h, and 1.583 (95%CI 1.026 to 2.442, P=0.038) at 48 h. This indicated that as time progressed, the postoperative oxygenation status of lung transplant recipients was affected by the intraoperative transfusion volume. Furthermore, an RBC transfusion volume>975 mLhad a significant impact on patient oxygenation at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. Conclusion The volume of intraoperative RBC transfusion has a significant impact on the oxygenation status at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. Intraoperative RBC transfusion volume is associated with the occurrence of severe PGD after lung transplantation. Controlling the volume of RBC transfusion during lung transplantation may help reduce the incidence of severe PGD.

In recent decades,the incidence of human papillomavirus(HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)has shown a marked increase.Significant changes have also occurred in the OPSCC diagnosis and treatment paradigm.Deter-mining HPV status prior to treatment is now essential,and radiotherapy/chemotherapy,immunotherapy,and minimally invasive surgical techniques have progressively emerged as key modalities for managing OPSCC.However,alongside these paradigm shifts,a comprehen-sive technical consensus guiding the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process for OPSCC patients is currently lacking.Given China's large population base and the rising incidence of OPSCC,an expert panel convened to develop a clinical technical consensus on OPSCC diagno-sis and management tailored to China's specific context.This consensus aims to further enhance and standardize understanding of OPSCC management techniques among relevant healthcare professionals.

Objective:To explore the dynamic effects of venous sinus stenting (VSS) implantation on the optic nerve structure and visual function in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).Methods:Patients with IIH combined with venous sinus stenosis and optic disc edema who were admitted to the Beijing Tiantan Hospital and received VSS treatment from January 2019 to September 2023 were prospectively included. Before the operation, the general data of the patients were collected and lumbar puncture examination was performed to measure the cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Ophthalmic multimodal imaging examinations such as binocular best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), optic disc stereoscopic photography, visual field, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed respectively before the operation, 3 months and 6 months after the operation. The BCVA of both eyes, the Frisén grade (FPG) of optic disc edema, the mean defect (MD) value of the visual field, the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) around the optic disc and the thickness of the optic ganglion cell complex (GCC) were collected respectively. The eye with poor preoperative visual field MD value was defined as the study eye, and the other eye was the contralateral eye. The Friedman rank sum test was used to statistically analyze the differences of various indicators before the operation, 3 months after the operation and 6 months after the operation. Further, the Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to pairwise compare the results at the three time points.Results:A total of 72 patients with IIH who met the criteria were included, among whom 61 were female (84.7%), and the baseline optic disc edema Frisén grade was 3(2-4). The FPG, BCVA, MD values and RNFL thickness of the study eye and the contralateral eye at 3 and 6 months after the operation were significantly improved compared with those before the operation (all P<0.017). At 6 months after the operation, the FPG, BCVA, MD value, RNFL thickness of the study eye and the FPG and RNFL thickness of the contralateral eye were further improved compared with those at 3 months, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.017). During the treatment and follow-up period, no serious adverse reactions occurred in all patients. Conclusions:VSS can effectively improve papillary edema and visual function impairment in patients with IIH combined with venous sinus stenosis. Ophthalmic multimodal imaging examination provides an objective basis for preoperative assessment of optic nerve structure and visual function, postoperative efficacy monitoring and visual function recovery, etc. In the diagnosis and treatment process of IIH, the collaborative cooperation between the neurology department and the ophthalmology department is very important.

Objective To evaluate the surgical technique and clinical value of laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy guided by inserting ureteral catheters into the diverticulum under plasmakinetic resectoscope.Methods From December 2018 to May 2024,9 patients underwent laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy in combination with resectoscope.Each patient had a solitary bladder diverticulum with a median maximum diameter of 6.40(5.70,7.40)cm(range:5.0～8.5 cm).Among the 9 patients,3 patients had concurrent benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)and simultaneously underwent transurethral plasmakinetic resection of the prostate;1 patient had concurrent both BPH and bladder calculi,requiring simultaneously underwent plasmakinetic resection of the prostate and bladder calculi removal;2 patients required ureteral reimplantation as the diverticulum was directly involving the ureteral orifice;1 case underwent ureteroscopic double-J stent implantation because the opening of the ipsilateral ureter was adjacent to the entrance of the diverticulum.Results Bladder diverticulectomy was successfully performed in the all patients.Median operative time was 160.00(120.00,317.50)min(range:85～345 min).Median estimated blood loss was 20.00(10.00,150.00)mL(range:10～300 mL).No iatrogenic injuries to adjacent organs were observed.Pelvic drains were removed 1～3 d postoperatively,with no urine leakage.Urinary catheters were maintained for 7～10 d after operation.Follow-up at 3～12 months showed no recurrence or hydronephrosis in any of the patients.Conclusion Laparoscopic resection of bladder diverticula guided by ureteral catheter placed into bladder diverticula by means of resectoscope has the advantages of less trauma,less bleeding and faster recovery,and is an effective measure for the treatment of bladder diverticula.

Objective To screen the key N6-methyladenosine(m6A)methylation related genes in renal clear cell carcinoma(ccRCC),and to study their expression and relationship with the prognosis,migration and invasion of renal clear cell carcinoma.Methods The RNA sequencing data and clinical data of ccRCC and ad-jacent tissues were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and GTEx(Genotype-Tissue Expres-sion).The expression profile and prognosis were analyzed with R 4.1.1,and the key genes were screened.Clinical specimens of 10 patients with ccRCC were collected.The mRNA and protein expressions were detec-ted by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry,respectively.In human ccRCC cell line RCC23,siRNA was used to knock down key genes,and CCK-8 was used to detect the survival rate of cells.Scratch test and Trans well test were used to detect the migration and invasion of cells,respectively.Results Among the 19 m6A methyl-ation related genes,only insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3(IGF2BP3)was highly ex-pressed in cancer tissues,and the high expression was significantly positively correlated with poor prognosis.The high expression of IGF2BP3 was verified in clinical specimens by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry.After knockdown of IGF2BP3 by siRNA,the survival rate of RCC23 cells decreased significantly,and the mi-gration and invasion ability of cut cells decreased.Conclusion These results suggest that IGF2BP3 may be an effective biomarker and potential drug target for predicting the prognosis of patients with ccRCC.

Objective:Utilizing the principles of mechanical vibrations dissections and low-temperature coagulation of harmonic scalpel, and combining the magnifying effect of 3D thoracoscopy and the advantage of low trauma, we used harmonic scalpel to harvest the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) under thoracoscopy, and explored the feasibility and early effect of harmonic scalpel in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG).Methods:A total of 488 patients who underwent MICABG from July 2021 to December 2023 in Dong E Hospital were collected. Among them, 347 patients was harvested using harmonic scalpel under thoracoscopy. Following anastomosis, the blood flow and pulsatility index (PI) from the graft to the target vessel were determined using a transit time flow meter (MiraQ, Medistim, Norway), and patency was checked. Data from 347 patients were analyzed.Results:All 347 patients were performed under non-extracorporeal circulation and successful graft patency was achieved in all patients. Analysis of 79 patients revealed a median time to LIMA acquisition of 32 min and a median length of acquisition of 15 cm. No graft-related events or complications occurred in any of the patients, and 2 patients died postoperatively. During a median follow-up of 12.1 months, only one patient experienced graft occlusion necessitating intervention.Conclusion:The utilization of harmonic scalpel for LIMA harvesting in MICABG is feasible and yields stable early results.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of postoperative hospital-acquired infections and drug sensitivity in lung transplant recipients over the past 5 years in a single center. Methods A total of 724 lung transplant recipients at Wuxi People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were selected. Based on the principles of hospital-acquired infection diagnosis, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the hospital infection situation and infection sites of lung transplant recipients, and an analysis of the distribution of hospital-acquired infection pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility test status was performed. Results Among the 724 lung transplant recipients, 275 cases of hospital-acquired infection occurred, with an infection rate of 38.0%. The case-time infection rate decreased from 54.2% in 2019 to 22.8% in 2023, showing a downward trend year by year (Z=30.98, P<0.001). The main infection site was the lower respiratory tract, accounting for 73.6%. The pathogens were mainly Gram-negative bacteria, with the top four being Acinetobacter baumannii (37.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.7%), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (13.4%), with imipenem resistance rates of 89%, 53%, 58% and 100%, respectively. Gram-positive bacteria were mainly Staphylococcus aureus (3.6%), with a methicillin resistance rate of 67%. Conclusions Over the past 5 years, the hospital-acquired infections in lung transplant recipients have shown a downward trend, mainly involving lower respiratory tract infections, with the main pathogens being Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, all of which have high resistance rates to imipenem.

Objective To explore the application effect of prone position ventilation combined with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) in the treatment of severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after lung transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 75 lung transplant recipients who developed severe PGD after lung transplantation and were treated with VV-ECMO from January 2021 to June 2024 at Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were collected. The patients with severe graft dysfunction after lung transplantation were divided into VV-ECMO group (control group, 45 cases) and prone position ventilation combined with VV-ECMO group (treatment group, 30 cases). The general data of the two groups of patients were compared, including the donors' clinical data (age, gender and oxygenation index, etc) and the recipients' clinical data [gender, age and body mass index (BMI), etc]. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the recipients' 30-day, 90-day and 180-day survival after surgery. The survival curves of the two groups of recipients were drawn using Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. Results The intensive care unit (ICU) stay time, ECMO application time and ventilator use time of control group were longer than those of treatment group. The proportion of male recipients and the BMI of control group were lower than those of treatment group. The 30-day, 90-day and 180-day survival of control group was worse than that of treatment group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The univariate Cox regression analysis of the recipients' 30-day survival after surgery showed that the recipients' BMI, history of diabetes, enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle, intraoperative blood transfusion volume and intraoperative red blood cell transfusion volume were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes and enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle were risk factors affecting the 30-day survival of lung transplant recipients (all P<0.05). The univariate Cox regression analysis of the recipients' 90-day survival after surgery showed that the recipients' BMI, history of diabetes, enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, intraoperative red blood cell transfusion volume and group variable were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes, enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle and group variable were risk factors affecting the 90-day survival of lung transplant recipients (all P<0.05). The univariate Cox regression analysis of the recipients' 180-day survival after surgery showed that the recipients' BMI, history of diabetes, right atrium and right ventricle enlargement, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, intraoperative red blood cell transfusion volume and group variable were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes, enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle and group variable were risk factors affecting the 180-day survival of lung transplant recipients (all P<0.05). The 30-day, 90-day and 180-day survival rates of control group were lower, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05), with a median survival time of 100 days in control group. Conclusions In the clinical treatment of severe PGD after lung transplantation, prone position ventilation combined with VV-ECMO may shorten ECMO application time, invasive ventilation time and ICU stay time, and improve the short-term prognosis of lung transplantation.
