Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of acute stent implantation during endovascular treatment for patients with emergent large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out on 46 patients with emergent large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis who received endovascular treatment at the Strategic Support Force Medical Center from January 2015 to August 2022. Twenty-seven patients underwent balloon angioplasty alone and 19 patients underwent acute stent implantation. The baseline characteristics, modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score of the responsible vessels, modified Rankin scale (mRS) score 90 days after operation, incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality of the two groups were evaluated.Results:The proportion of effective recanalization of the offending vessels (mTICI≥2b) in the acute stenting group was slightly higher than that in the balloon angioplasty group (16/19 vs. 81.5%), but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Besides, there was no significant difference in the median of mRS between the acute stenting group [3.0(0, 4.0)] and the balloon angioplasty group [4.0(1.0, 5.0)] 90 days after operation ( P>0.05). In terms of safety, the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality were comparable between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The effect of acute stent implantation during endovascular treatment for patients with emergent large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is not inferior to that of balloon angioplasty, and it does not increase the risk of intracranial bleeding complications.

Chromosomal karyotyping analysis has been considered as the gold standard for cytogenetic diagnosis and an effective measure for preventing birth defects. However, conventional karyotyping analysis relies heavily on manual recognition, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The application of an efficient intelligent chromosomal karyotyping precise auxiliary diagnosis system in clinical practice can significantly reduce the analysis time and greatly improve the efficiency, increase the detection rate for low-percentage mosaicisms, and promote homogenization between laboratories. This can effectively enhance the capacity and level of cytogenetic diagnosis. With the continuous application of such system in the field of karyotyping analysis, a substantial amount of clinical application data and experience has been accumulated. This consensus has been formulated after multiple rounds of discussion by experts from the clinical application collaboration group of the efficient intelligent chromosomal karyotyping precise auxiliary diagnosis system. It aims to provide a reference for peers to better utilize intelligent auxiliary diagnosis systems during chromosomal karyotyping analysis and promote the standardized development of karyotyping analysis technology.

Objective:To explore the effect of different posture angles on the pain and comfort in patients with early esophageal cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), so as to provide a basis for patients to choose the best position after ESD.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. One hundred and twenty patients with early esophageal cancer who underwent ESD in the Department of Gastroenterology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from March 2021 to March 2022 were selected as the study subjects, and they were randomly divided into 4 groups of 30 patients each according to the randomized numerical method. Group A was the conventional group, which was in the free position after the operation, and groups B, C, and D were the experimental groups, with group B in the head-high-feet-low 30° position, group C in the head-high-feet-low 45° position, and group D in the head-high-feet-low 60° position. The pain scores after returning to the room after the operation, at 8, 16, 24 h after the operation and comfort scores at 24 h after the operation of the patients in the four groups were evaluated by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ).Results:There were 17 males and 13 females in group A; there were 20 males and 10 females in group B; there were 22 males and 8 females in group C; there were 19 males and 11 females in group D. All patients were aged 30-85 years old. The time main effect, grouping main effect, and interaction effect of postoperative pain NRS score among four groups of patients were all statistically significant ( F=618.13, 12.14, 6.75, all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the NRS scores of patients after returning to the room after the operation among the four groups ( P>0.05). The NRS scores in group D at 8 and 16 h after the operation were (1.93 ± 0.64), (0.60 ± 0.47) points, lower than the (2.87 ± 1.14), (1.97 ± 1.22) points, (2.17 ± 0.83), (1.97 ± 1.61) points, (2.30 ± 0.75), (0.80 ± 0.61) points in groups A, B, and C, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 0.79-4.72, all P<0.05). The NRS scores in group B at 24 h after the operation was (0.23 ± 0.18) points, lower than the (1.53 ± 1.08), (0.30 ± 0.21), (0.46 ± 0.25) points in groups A, C, and D, the differences were statistically significant ( t= 5.32, 1.34, 1.37, all P<0.05). The GCQ total scores at 24 h after the operation were (96.96 ± 3.05), (99.77 ± 3.21), (93.53 ± 3.76), (92.20 ± 3.69) points in group A, B, C, D, the difference was statistically significant ( F= 29.59, P<0.05). Moreover, the GCQ total scores at 24 h after the operation in group B were higher than those in groups A, C, and D, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.15, 7.01, 8.52, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Targeted body position management can effectively reduce postoperative pain and improve patient comfort in early esophageal cancer patients undergoing ESD.

Objective To investigate the incidence of neglected perforation of sterile surgical gloves used in craniocerebral surgery and its effect on bacterial contamination of the gloves.Methods A total of 996 sterile surgical gloves worn by surgical participants during craniocerebral surgery were selected as the study objects.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were respectively performed to analyze the factors that might cause the neglected perforation of gloves,and the detection rate of bacteria on the outer surface of perforated and unperforated gloves were compared.Results Among 996 sterile surgical gloves used in craniocerebral surgery,84(8.43%)gloves were found to have neglected perforation,and 39(3.92%)gloves were found to have bacteria.The detection rate of bacteria on the outer surface of the neglected perforation group was significantly higher than that of the non-neglected perforation group(P<0.001).The results of univariate and multivariate Logistic analysis suggested that craniotomy,emergency surgery,surgery time≥150 minutes,the use of rotating equipment during surgery and the role of glove wearing personnel as the main surgeon were the risk factors for neglected perforation of sterile surgical gloves(OR>1,P<0.05),while the use of double-layer gloves during surgery was the protective factor for avoiding perforation(OR<1,P<0.05).Conclusion The occurrence of neglected perforation of sterile surgical gloves during craniocerebral surgery is not optimistic.The probability of neglected perforation of gloves is higher in craniotomy,emergency surgery,long surgery time,the use of rotating equipment during surgery,and gloves used by the main surgeon.For surgeries with a high incidence of neglected perforation,double-layer gloves can be worn during surgery to reduce bacterial contamination on the outer surface of sterile surgical gloves.
