Antibiotics are playing an increasingly important role in clinical antibacterial applications. However, their abuse has also brought toxic and side effects, drug-resistant pathogens, decreased immunity and other problems. New antibacterial schemes in clinic are urgently needed. In recent years, nano-metals and their oxides have attracted wide attention due to their broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Nano-silver, nano-copper, nano-zinc and their oxides are gradually applied in biomedical field. In this study, the classification and basic properties of nano-metallic materials such as conductivity, superplasticity, catalysis, and antibacterial activities were firstly introduced. Secondly, the common preparation techniques, including physical, chemical and biological methods, were summarized. Subsequently, four main antibacterial mechanisms, such as cell membrane, oxidative stress, DNA destruction and cell respiration reduction, were summarized. Finally, the effect of size, shape, concentration and surface chemical characteristics of nano-metals and their oxides on antibacterial effectiveness and the research status of biological safety such as cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and reproductive toxicity were reviewed. At present, although nano-metals and their oxides have been applied in medical antibacterial, cancer treatment and other clinical fields, some issues such as the development of green preparation technology, the understanding of antibacterial mechanism, the improvement of biosafety, and the expansion of application fields, require further exploration.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway. Continuous positive airway pressure is the first-line therapy for most patients, but adherence is often poor. Alternative treatment options such as mandibular advancement devices, positional therapy, and surgical interventions including upper airway stimulation target different levels and patterns of obstruction with varying degrees of success. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy enables the visualization of upper airway obstruction under conditions mimicking sleep. In the era of precision medicine, this additional information may facilitate better decision-making when prescribing alternative treatment modalities, with the hope of achieving better adherence and/or success rates. This review discusses the current knowledge and evidence on the role of drug-induced sleep endoscopy in the non-positive airway pressure management of obstructive sleep apnea.

Objective To design a smoke purifier for laparoscopic surgery, and to test its application in reducing the use of carbon dioxide gas and reducing the concentration of harmful substances in laparoscopic surgery exhaust gas. Methods From April to September 2017, a total of 136 cases of hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo oophorectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection were divided into control group and experimental group by random number table method, with 68 cases in each group. Independent negative pressure suction pipeline was applied in the control group for direct suction. In the experimental group, the surgery exhaust gas first passed laparoscopic surgical smoke purifier, the intake pipe of which was transformed from an aseptic transfusion device. Gas would emit a sound alert when passing the double-valve one-way valve. After passing KP100 grade, KN100 grade filter element and a certain amount of protective coal pellet activated carbon, the smoke would be managed by the independent negative pressure suction pipeline. The amount of carbon dioxide gas used in the two groups and the concentration of harmful substances in the smoke of the experimental group before and after the operation were recorded. Results The amount of carbon dioxide gas used in the control group was (656.95±70.11) L, which was higher than that in the experimental group (613.70±75.63) L, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.01). In the experimental group, PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, formaldehyde and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) before the application of purifier were (206.90±30.48) μg/m3, (195.74±27.23) μg/m3, (220.22±37.60) μg/m3, (0.52±0.02) mg/m3 and (4.35±1.79) mg/m3, which were all higher than those after the application of purifier (4.26±1.02) μg/m3, (6.54±2.05) μg/m3, (7.89±3.38) μg/m3, (0.34±0.01) mg/m3and (0.31±0.17) mg/m3respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusions The purifier can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide gas used in laparoscopic surgery, reduce the harmful substances in surgical exhaust gas and reduce the harm to the environment and medical staff.
