Objective:To explore the application value of three-dimensional visualization reconstruction technology in robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(RAPN)for the treatment of highly complex(R.E.N.A.L. score≥10)renal hilar tumors.Methods:The clinical data of 87 patients with highly complex renal hilar tumors with R.E.N.A.L. scores ≥10 who were treated in First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2021 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,of which 36 underwent 3D visualization reconstruction and 51 underwent conventional CT. The 3D visualization reconstruction method was to import the patient’s enhanced CT images in DICOM format into the 3D reconstruction image data processing software to produce a 3D visualization model. There were 22 males and 14 females in the 3D visualization group,with an average age of(54.2 ± 9.5)years,a body mass index of(24.8 ± 4.5)kg/m 2,and a tumor size of(4.3 ± 1.0)cm. Tumors were located on the left side in 16 cases and on the right side in 20 cases. Tumor stages were classified as T 1a in 11 cases,T 1b in 21 cases,and T 2a in 4 cases. The R.E.N.A.L. scores were distributed as follows:10 points in 21 cases,11 points in 12 cases,and 12 points in 3 cases. The estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)before operation was(78.2±9.6)ml/(min·1.73 m 2). There were 35 males and 16 females in the conventional CT group,with an average age of(51.3±8.9)years,a body mass index of(25.4 ± 3.9)kg/m 2,and a tumor size of(4.1 ± 1.2)cm. Tumors were located on the left side in 25 cases and on the right side in 26 cases. Tumor stages were classified as T 1a in 12 cases,T 1b in 33 cases,and T 2a in 6 cases. The R.E.N.A.L. scores were distributed as follows:10 points in 31 cases,11 points in 18 cases,and 12 points in 2 cases . The preoperative eGFR was(80.6 ± 8.8)ml/(min·1.73 m 2). There was no statistical difference in general data and preoperative renal function between the two groups( P > 0.05). Both groups underwent RAPN. The two groups were analyzed and compared in terms of operation time,warm ischemia time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative complications,and changes in renal function 3 months after surgery. Results:There were no cases of conversion to radical treatment or open surgery in both the 3D visualization group and the conventional CT group. The 3D visualization group had shorter operation time[(94.6 ± 18.5)min vs.(110.2 ± 17.2)min, P < 0.001],shorter renal artery occlusion time[(23.3 ± 4.0)min vs.(27.2 ± 3.3)min, P < 0.001],less intraoperative blood loss[120(100,250)ml vs. 150(120,300)ml, P = 0.018],and a lower proportion of intraoperative collecting system incision(19/36 vs. 38/51, P = 0.042)than the conventional CT group. There was no significant statistical difference in the time of postoperative drainage tube removal and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups( P > 0.05). One case in the 3D visualization group had postoperative fever,and two cases in the conventional CT group had postoperative obvious macroscopic hematuria. Postoperative pathological diagnosis of the patients was clear cell carcinoma in 78 cases,papillary cell carcinoma in 6 cases,chromophobe cell carcinoma in 2 cases,and oncocytoma in 1 case. No positive resection margin was found in both groups. Three months after surgery,there was no significant statistical difference in eGFR between the two groups[(70.6 ± 8.5)ml/(min·1.73 m 2)vs.(71.4 ± 9.2)ml/(min·1.73 m 2), P = 0.681]. During the median follow-up of 17.8 months,no tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed in either group. Conclusions:RAPN has good safety and feasibility in the treatment of highly complex(R.E.N.A.L. score ≥10)renal hilar tumors. Preoperative three-dimensional visualization reconstruction technology helps to reduce RAPN operation time,renal artery occlusion time and intraoperative blood loss,and has good clinical application value.

The biological clock(also known as the circadian rhythm)is the fundamental reliance for all organisms on Earth to adapt and survive in the Earth's rotation environment.Circadian rhythm is the most basic regulatory mechanism of life activities,and plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological and biochemical homeostasis,disease occurrence and treatment.Recent studies have shown that the biologi-cal clock plays an important role in the development of oral tissues and in the occurrence and treatment of oral diseases.Since there is cur-rently no guiding literature on the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,researchers mainly conduct research based on pub-lished references,which has led to controversy about the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,and there are many confusions about how to rationally apply the research methods of circadia rhythms.In view of this,this expert consensus summarizes the characteristics of the biological clock and analyzes the shortcomings of the current biological clock research in stomatology,and organizes relevant experts to summarize and recommend 10 principles as a reference for the rational implementation of the biological clock in stomatology research.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic and progressive arterial disease. It is an important cause of the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. With the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), TCM has many advantages in the therapy of AS, with less adverse reactions. Studies have shown that TCM can resist AS, and the mechanism mainly belongs to regulating lipid metabolism, anti-lipid peroxidation, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation, and protecting the structure and function of vascular endothelial cells. The mechanism of TCM for AS is warranted to be studied systematically, and the chemical components need to be further clarified.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and adverse reactions of Kangai injection combined with CTF chemotherapy in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer. Methods A total of 60 women diagnosed with breast cancer who were admitted to our hospital between January 2015 and January 2017 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group by randomized methods. The control group received a new assistant with CTF. In the chemotherapy group, the patients in the observation group were treated with Kangai injection combined with CTF neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the clinical treatment total effective rate, gastrointestinal reaction, abnormal liver function, abnormal renal function, alopecia, thrombocytopenia and other adverse reactions occurrence in the two groups and the quality of life before and after treatment served as a basis for comparison. Results ①The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0. 05);②The occurrence of adverse reactions to hair loss and thrombocytopenia in the observation group was superior to the control group(P<0. 05);③The abnormal liver function was observed in the observation group. There was no significant difference in renal function abnormalities and gastroin testinal reactions between the control group and the observation group(P>0. 05). ④The quality of life after treatment in the observation group was superior to that in the control group(P<0. 05);⑤There was no significant difference in the quality of life of patients before treatment between the observation group and the control group(P>0. 05). Conclusion This study proves that the combination of Kangai injection in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer patients is beneficial to improve the treatment effect of patients and improve the occurrence of adverse reactions such as alopecia and thrombocytopenia in patients. It is worthy of promotion as the first choice for clinical treatment.
