Objective To explore the effect of artificial pleural effusion combined with radiofrequency ablation in patients with phrenic top liver cancer.Methods A total of 92 patients with liver tumors at top of the diaphragm were prospectively selected and divided into the control group(46 cases,radiofrequency ablation)and the observation group(46 cases,radiofrequency ablation+artificial pleural effusion)by the random number table method.Clinical outcomes one month after treatment,time to first surgical ablation,serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)levels and complications before treatment and one month after treatment were compared.Both groups were followed up for 2 years after the operation,and survival conditions of patients were compared.Results Enhanced MRI or enhanced CT at 1 month after surgery in the 2 groups showed that the complete tumor ablation rate was lower in the control group than that in the observation group(76.09%vs.93.48%,P＜0.05).The surgical ablation time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group[(9.64±1.22)min vs.(11.15±1.47)min,P＜0.05].The survival rates were higher in the observation group than those in the control group at 1 year(82.61%vs.58.70%)and 2 years(71.74%vs.47.83%)after treatment(P＜0.05).Serum AFP levels decreased in both groups after treatment,and those were lower in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The total complication rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(8.70%vs.23.91%,P＜0.05).The follow-up period of 92 patients ranged from 7 to 29 months,with a mean of(20.17±4.61)months.The local tumor progression rate was higher in the control group than that in the observation group during the follow-up period(36.96%vs.10.87%,P＜0.05).Conclusion Artificial pleural effusion combined with radiofrequency ablation can effectively improve the clinical efficacy and survival rate of patients with liver cancer,reduce the level of serum AFP and decrease the occurrence of complications.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To explore the training method for personalized eyebrow shape design before eyebrow transplantation surgery and to evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:Thirty physicians with similar foundational knowledge in facial aesthetic design and equivalent educational backgrounds were prospectively selected from the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University and Beijing Biliansheng Medical Beauty Clinic from January to December 2023. All the physicians were right-handed. Based on prior experience in eyebrow transplantation surgery, they were divided into two groups: an observation group [ n=20; 10 males, 10 females; aged (27.8±3.9) years] without experience in personalized eyebrow transplantation surgery, and a control group [ n=10; 5 males, 5 females; aged (29.6±4.0) years] with at least 2 years of experience in personalized eyebrow transplantation surgery. All the physicians received 2 hours of theoretical instruction on personalized eyebrow shape design and 8 hours of simulated operation training. Differences in personalized eyebrow design scores between the two groups were compared before and after training. After the assessment, physicians in the observation group performed eyebrow shape design on 20 eyebrow transplantation patients with randomly assigned face shapes, and patient satisfaction was evaluated. Results:Before training, personalized eyebrow design scores were 1.16±0.29 for the observation group and 3.75±0.22 for the control group, showing a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). After operation training, the scores were 4.51±0.11 for the observation group and 4.89±0.08 for the control group, with no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). The difference between pre- and post-training scores within the observation group was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Physicians in the observation group designed eyebrow shapes for male and female patients with various face shapes. Immediately after surgery, 80% (16/20) of patients were very satisfied, and 20% (4/20) were satisfied. Conclusion:After training of combined theoretical lectures, simulated practice, and hands-on patient design, physicians in the observation group demonstrate improved ability in personalized eyebrow shape design and achieve high patient satisfaction.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of sequential treatment of extensive skin and soft tissue injuries of the lower leg accompanied by large segmental tibial defects by free transplantation of anterolateral thigh perforator flap combined with bone transport.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From April 2020 to January 2024, 8 patients with extensive skin and soft tissue injuries of the lower leg accompanied by large segmental tibial defects who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Beijing Dawanglu Emergency Rescue Hospital. Among them, there were 6 males and 2 females, aged 17 to 58 years. After debridement, the area was 17 cm×8 cm to 30 cm×12 cm, and the length of tibial defect was 9 to 12 cm. Stage Ⅰ surgery was performed by free transplantation of anterolateral thigh perforator flap to repair the extensive skin and soft tissue injuries of the lower leg and using autologous skin graft from the thigh to repair the remaining wound. Stage Ⅱ surgery was performed after wound healing, the external fixation bracket was removed and replaced with an Orthofix unilateral external fixation lengthening frame (hereinafter referred to as external fixation lengthening frame) to transport the proximal tibial osteotomy for repairing the large segmental bone defects. The intraoperative arteriovenous anastomosis and the blood supply of the flap during stage Ⅰ surgery were documented, along with the survival status of the flap/skin graft in the donor and recipient areas postoperatively, and the wound healing time in the recipient area. The time required for bone transport completion, the duration of external fixation retention, and the occurrence of complications during this period were recorded after stage Ⅱ surgery. During follow-up, the occurrence of adverse events in the recipient area was recorded. At the final follow-up, fracture healing of the affected limb was evaluated according to the Paley score, and limb function was observed.Results:In 2 patients, the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the accompanying vein were end-to-end anastomosed with the proximal anterior tibial or posterior tibial artery and vein for antegrade blood supply and antegrade reflux; in 2 patients, the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery was end-to-end anastomosed with the distal anterior tibial artery for retrograde blood supply, and the accompanying vein of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery was end-to-end anastomosed with the proximal anterior tibial vein for antegrade reflux; in 3 patients, the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery was end-to-end anastomosed with the distal posterior tibial artery for retrograde blood supply, and the accompanying vein of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery was end-to-end anastomosed with the distal posterior tibial vein for retrograde reflux; one patient underwent repair of the injury in the affected lower leg using a free cross-leg vascular pedicle flap from the healthy limb. The flaps/skin grafts in the donor and recipient areas of all 8 patients survived, and the wound healing time in recipient area was 14 to 30 days. The bone transport duration of the patients in this group was 93 to 125 days, and the external fixation lengthening frame was continuously retained for 7 to 14 months after the bone transport was stopped; during the bone transport period, 1 patient had pin tract infection, which was controlled after dressing change and enhanced nursing. During the follow-up, there was no ulceration of the wound surface in recipient area, and no osteomyelitis or fracture developed in the affected limb. At the last follow-up, the bone healing evaluation was all excellent; the walking posture and function of the affected limb were basically normal.Conclusions:The application of free transplantation of anterolateral thigh perforator flap combined with bone transport in the sequential treatment of extensive skin and soft tissue injuries of the lower leg accompanied by large segmental tibial defecst can achieve wound healing and functional reconstruction of bone defects, and has great clinical application value.

Objective To explore application effect of modified three-port robotic-assisted single-port multi-channel laparoscopic surgery in radical operation for choledochal cysts in children.Methods From March 2022 to June 2024,20 children with congenital choledochal cysts in our department underwent modified three-port robotic-assisted radical resection of choledochal cysts combined with Roux-en-Y anastomosis of the hepatic duct and jejunum.A single-port multi-channel laparoscopic device was inserted through an umbilical incision,and 8 mm trocars were respectively inserted under the right and left costal margins for robotic arm operation.Before the robot docking,the jejunum-jejunum anastomosis was completed outside the body through the umbilical single-port device.After docking,operations of cyst resection and anastomosis and reconstruction of the hepatic duct and jejunum were completed under the robotic laparoscope.Results The operations of 20 children were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery or intraoperative blood transfusion.The operation time was(269.8±23.3)min,the robotic operation time was(123.8±11.1)min,and the intraoperative blood loss was(8.3±3.9)ml.The postoperative exhaust time was(30.8±9.8)h,the abdominal drainage tube was removed at 5-6 d after operation,and the postoperative hospital stay was 7-8 d.On the 7th day after surgery,10 out of 11 children with elevated preoperative liver function transaminase(ALT and AST)levels decreased to normal,while 4 out of 6 children with elevated preoperative bilirubin(TBIL,DBIL,and IBIL)levels returned to normal.Abdominal ultrasound showed no anastomotic stenosis,cholangitis,or other serious complications during follow-ups for 3-6 months in the 20 children.Conclusion The robotic-assisted single-port multi-channel laparoscopic surgery(modified three-port method)is safe and feasible for the treatment of choledochal cysts in children.

Objective:To assess the feasibility and efficacy of transperineal laser ablation(TPLA)with single laser fiber in treating benign prostatic obstruction(BPO).Methods:From April 2021 to March 2024,a total of 13 BPO patients were selected from Beijing Friendship Hospital.TPLA was performed using a single laser fiber,which was guided by transrectal biplane ultrasound.The single laser fiber was used to undergo TPLA under the guidance of trans-rectal dual-plane ultrasound.The intraoperative time,ablation time,energy consumption,indwelling time of catheter,and complications were observed.The postoperative 6 months was chosen as the cut-off point of follow-up,and the pre and postoperative changes of international prostate symptom score(IPSS),quality of life index(QoL),prostate volume(PV),residual urine volume(RUV)and the maximum urine flow rate(Qmax)were compared.Results:All 13 patients successfully underwent TPLA with single laser fiber.The average operation time was(55.1±18.3)min,and the average ablation time was(16.3±1.7)min,and average energy consumption was(3951.6±459.7)J,and the median value of indwelling time of catheter was 7(7,10)days.The number of postoperative complication was 2 cases,and both them belonged to Clavien-Dindo grade II complication.At the postoperative 6th month,the IPSS,QoL,PV,Qmax and RUV of all patients were improved,all of which were better than preoperative these indicators,and the differences were significant(t=12.102,-3.228,-3.181,-2.581,-2.936,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of single laser fiber in conducting TPLA operation is feasibility at technical aspect,and it can achieve the therapeutic goals of improving patients'symptoms and enhancing their quality of life.Although its operational time is slightly longer than that of using multiple fibers simultaneously,it can effectively reduce the cost of expenditure for consumables.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To explore the impact of age on the genetic variant spectrum and prognosis of patients with previously untreated Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and follow-up information of 254 previously untreated DLBCL patients from 14 hospitals in the Jiangsu Cooperative Lymphoma Group (JCLG) enrolled from July 2018 and July 2023. Following extraction of DNA from tumor tissue samples, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique was employed to analyze the genetic variant spectrum of the DLBCL patients, with an evaluation of the relationship between age and genetic variants as well as prognosis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (Ethics No.: 2023-K048-01).Results:The median age of the 254 DLBCL patients was 62 years old, with 55% of patients aged 60 years or above. Clinical evaluation showed that younger (< 60 years) patients had higher complete response (CR) (70% vs. 59%), and objective response rate (ORR) (88% vs. 79%) than older patients, though the difference between the two groups was not statistically. Survival analysis indicated that both the five-year overall survival (OS) (82.7% vs. 71.7%, P=0.006) and progression-free survival (PFS) (70.6% vs. 50.2%, P<0.05) rates were significantly higher in younger patients. NGS showed that 99.6% of the patients harbored genetic variants, with PIM1, KMT2D, TP53, MYD88, and CD79B being the most common genes. Age significantly affected the variant frequency of certain genes, with MYC variants serving an adverse prognostic factor for OS in younger patients ( P=0.001), while TP53 ( P=0.024) and BCL2 ( P=0.002) variants significantly impacted OS in older patients. Prognostic analysis identified age ≥ 60 years ( HR=3.439, 95% CI=1.318~9.874), presence of B symptoms ( HR = 2.871, 95% CI=1.133~7.307), and elevated lactate dehydrogenase ( HR=3.528, 95% CI=1.231~10.66) as independent adverse prognostic factors. Conclusion:Age, genetic variants, and clinical factors may significantly affect the prognosis of the DLBCL patients. Younger patients have better survival compared to older patients. Variants of the MYC, BCL2, and TP53 genes are closely associated with poor prognosis.
