Esophageal stricture is a common esophageal lesion in adults and children, and endoscopic dilatation is currently the standard treatment. However, high recurrence rate and frequent dilations have become a major problem in patients. Esophageal stents provide sustained dilation therapy but can lead to serious complications such as displacement, perforation, and bleeding, necessitating removal. Biodegradable stents, with the advantage of both dilation and self-degradation, are promising potential solutions to this problem. Currently, biodegradable materials are mainly categorized into metals and polymers, leading to the development of magnesium alloy esophageal stents and polymer esophageal stents. Among polymer stents, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) stents and SX-ELLA stents have been put into clinical application. In recent years, with the advancement of 3D bioprinting technology, the personalized fabrication of biodegradable stents has become feasible. In this paper, we will outline the current research status and progress of biodegradable magnesium alloy stents and polymer stents, introduce the new process of constructing esophageal stents by 3D bioprinting technology, focusing on the clinical research of SX-ELLA stents in pediatric and adult patients. We will also analyze the existing problems with biodegradable stents and the directions for future development.

Objective To explore the effect of cognitive-motor dual tasks with different cognitive loads(none,simple and difficult)on activation of prefrontal cortex and static posture control in young man.Methods From June to July,2024,27 healthy male college students were recruited in Hebei Normal University.Static postural control parameters(C90 area),lower limb electromyography data(muscle energy proportion)and pre-frontal cortex hemodynamic signals of subjects under single task without cognitive load,dual-task with simple cognitive load,and dual-task with difficult cognitive load were collected using a balanced testing and training system,a wireless surface electromyography device,and functional near-infrared spectroscopy technology.Results The C90 areas of dual-tasks with simple and difficult cognitive load were smaller than that of the single task without cognitive load(P<0.05).The proportion of β band energy in the medial and lateral gastrocnemius mus-cles in the dual-task with simple cognitive load was greater than that in the single task without cognitive load(P<0.05),while the proportion of piper band energy in the lateral gastrocnemius muscle and tibialis anterior muscle was less(P<0.05).During dual-task with difficult cognitive load,the activation levels of bilateral ventro-lateral prefrontal cortex and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were higher than those in the single task without cognitive load(P<0.05).Conclusion Dual tasks with appopriate cognitive loads are effective on postural stability in young man.Simple cognitive load promote posture maintenance through optimizing the neuromuscular control of the lower limb muscle groups,while difficult cognitive load through activating the right prefrontal cortex involved in working memory and executive control,involving the neurocognitive compensatory.

The included literature was appraised according to the 2016 Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist for qualitative research, and the results were integrated and summarized using meta-aggregation.Results:A total of 10 studies were included, from which 30 findings were extracted, forming 11 categories, and were synthesized into four integrated findings: healthcare professionals held divergent attitudes toward DFU telemedicine services, perceived multiple benefits, faced many challenges, and had multidimensional needs.Conclusions:Telemedicine services have provided healthcare professionals with great convenience in managing DFU patients, but challenges still exist. In the future, relevant platforms and systems should be continuously improved by integrating the needs of healthcare professionals and patients, while service processes and management mechanisms should be enhanced to improve the quality of telemedicine services.

Complex liver resection (CLR) is a collective term for surgical procedures addre-ssing complex invasion of intrahepatic vasculobiliary structures that cannot be radically resected through conventional methods. The ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA) and its modified techniques have significantly enhanced the technical feasibility of CLR implementation. In recent years, advancements in modified ELRA techniques and derivative procedures, including conversion resection, in-situ hypothermic perfusion, and auxiliary liver transplantation, have further diversified CLR methodologies, offering more personalized treatment options for CLR candidates. Given the complexity of such cases and substantial variations in surgical approach selection, improving procedural safety and scalability remains a critical challenge in CLR practice. The authors review the current application of modified techniques based on ELRA in CLR, evaluate the clinical significance based on institutional experiences, and propose future directions and individual selection for advancing the safe implementation of CLR.

Objective To explore the correlation between single-leg standing posture control and ankle plantar flexor muscle stability,so as to provide a new theoretical basis for improving the ability of human posture control.Methods A total of 20 healthy male college students were randomly selected as the experimental subjects.The iBalance tester and training system was used to test the trajectory data of the center of pressure(COP)of the foot standing on one leg.The CON-TREX MJ multi-joint isokinetic test and training system was used to test the moment amplitude data during the contraction of ankle plantar flexor muscles.Univariate repeated measures variance analysis was used to analyze the standard deviation data of ankle plantar flexor moment amplitude between groups.The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to study the correlation.Results The greater the intensity of the muscle stabilization task performed by the ankle plantar flexor muscle,the greater the standard deviation of the moment amplitude.The C90 area was positively correlated with the coefficient of variation(CV)of the 10％maximum voluntary contraction(MVC)moment of ankleplantar flexor muscle(r=0.761,P＜0.05)during single-leg standing without interference.The C90 area was positively correlated with the CV(r=0.632,P＜0.05)of the 30％MVC moment of ankle plantar flexor muscle during single-leg standing.When the proprioception was interfered during single-leg standing,the C90 area was positively correlated with the CV(r=0.583,P＜0.05)of the 20％MVC moment amplitude of ankleplantar flexor muscle.Conclusions With the increasing difficulty of muscle strength stabilization performed by the ankle plantar flexor muscles,muscle stability decreases.There is a positive correlation between ankle plantar flexor strength stability and single-leg standing posture control.Compared with the case without interference,under visual and proprioceptive interference,an additional information input is reduced or disturbed,and it is more difficult to maintain body balance,and the ankle plantar flexor muscle needs a higher muscle stability in the force mode to participate in the posture control of the human body during single-leg standing.

Objective To investigate the application effect of cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection(CS-EMR)in the treatment of 6 to 9 mm colorectal small polyps.Methods A total of 82 patients with small colonic polyps in our hospital from March 2022 to August 2023 were collected and divided into the observation group(45 cases received CS-EMR)and the control group[37 cases received hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection(HS-EMR)]according to different surgical methods.The clinical efficacy,polyp resection status,complete polyp resection rate,perioperative indicators and occurrence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results Follow-up for 1 month after operation,the effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the polyp resection status or perioperative indicators between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the complete polyp resection rates of patients with different pathological types or total complete resection rate between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidence of delayed bleeding and endoscopic hemostasis rate in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The complete resection rate of 6～9 mm colorectal polyps through CS-EMR was comparable to that of HS-EMR,and CS-EMR has a better efficacy and lower risk of perioperative bleeding,along with higher safety.

Objective To explore the relationship of changes in serum neuron-specific enolase(NSE),neuropeptide Y(NPY)and hypocretin(Hcrt)levels with sleep disorders in the elderly stroke patients.Methods A total of 105 elderly stroke patients admitted in our department from February 2021 to February 2024 were retrospectively enrolled in this study.According to the re-sults of Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)evaluation,they were divided into sleep disorder group(64 cases)and non-sleep disorder group(41 cases).The serum NSE,NPY and Hcrt levels at admission were measured,their sleep status was evaluated with PSQI questionnaire,and the levels and clinical data were compared between groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the influencing factors of sleep disorders in elderly stroke patients,and ROC curve analysis was performed.Results The NSE level was significantly higher,and the le-vels of NPY and Hcrt were obviously lower in the sleep disorder group than the non-sleep disor-der group(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that NSE,NPY,Hcrt,age,NIHSS score and history of stroke were independent influencing factor for sleep disorders in elderly stroke patients(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC value of NSE,NPY and Hcrt in predicting the occurrence of sleep disorders was 0.797,0.754 and 0.915,re-spectively.Conclusion Serum NSE,NPY and Hcrt are closely associated with sleep disorders in elderly stroke patients,and are of important value in predicting the occurrence of sleep disorders.

Objective:To explore the short-term oncological efficacy of the total prostatic urethra preservation（TPUP）technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and its impact on postoperative urinary continence rate.Methods:The clinical data of 17 prostate cancer patients admitted to Shaoxing People’s Hospital from July 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The age was（70.5 ± 6.5）years，the body mass index was（23.6 ± 2.5）kg/m 2，and the prostate-specific antigen（PSA）level was（7.845 ± 3.929）ng/ml. The preoperative biopsy pathological Gleason score were 6 in 8 cases，and 7 in 9 cases. All patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy，and the TPUP technique was used during the operation. The integrity of the preserved urethra was improved by preserving the prostatic surgical capsule closely attached to the corpus spongiosum of the urethra. During the operation，the urethra was completely preserved in 2 cases，nearly completely preserved in 14 cases，and partially preserved in 1 case. The recovery of urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was recorded. Recovery of urinary continence was defined as pad within 24 hours. PSA was re - examined at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation. Results:All 17 operations in this study were successfully completed. The operation time was（143.6 ± 31.6）minutes，and the intraoperative blood loss was 50.0（20.0，50.0）ml. None of the cases was converted to open surgery，and no Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 2 complications such as blood transfusion or intestinal injury occurred during the peri-operative period. The PSA levels at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation were 0.054（0.008，0.215）ng/ml and 0.008（0.005，0.037）ng/ml，respectively. The indwelling catheter time after the operation was（13.4 ± 2.1）days. The number of cases with recovered urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was 10，15，and 17，respectively.Conclusions:The TPUP technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy leads to good recovery of postoperative urinary continence，and there is a slowly PSA decrease in the short term.

Objective To classify the foot types of young Chinese males,extract characteristic indicators of foot types,and construct a standard foot type database.Methods Foot type data from 1 483 healthy young male individuals were collected.Spectral clustering algorithm was utilized to categorize foot types,and a deep neural network(DNN)was employed for training the classification model.Layer-wise relevance propagation(LRP)and the correlation coefficient method were combined to extract foot type features,and the differences in various foot type characteristics were compared.Results Spectral clustering yielded 4 distinct foot type categories.Foot type 1 was characterized by a high-arched foot with a prominent big toe,inwardly rotated 5th toe,and a high heel with a wide foot;foot type 2 was characterized by a narrow foot with hallux valgus;foot type 3 was characterized by a low-arched foot with hallux valgus;foot type 4 was characterized by a high-arched foot with a prominent big toe.By integrating interpretable neural networks and the correlation coefficient method,nine indicators were extracted from 27 foot type indicators,including the heel to the sole length,hallux height,navicular bone height,lateral malleolus height,hallux valgus angle,5th toe angle,dorsal foot circumference,heel angle,and longitudinal arch angle.The classification model constructed with these extracted indicators achieved an overall discrimination accuracy rate of 93.67％.Conclusions Chinese young males can be classified into four typical foot types.By examining the rearfoot,midfoot,and forefoot regions,nine key foot morphology parameters,including length,height,circumference,and angle,can be extracted.These parameters provide both theoretical and empirical support for establishing normative data on foot morphology for Chinese young males and for advancing biomechanical researches on the foot and ankle.
