Objective:To explore the effect of systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new classification on primary hypospadias.Methods:The data of 689 patients with primary hypospadias admitted to Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2010 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of all, 349 cases from March 2010 to June 2016 were treated with traditional treatment methods, and 340 cases from July 2016 to June 2021 were treated with systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new hypospadias classification. Traditional treatment group of patients according to the European Society of Urology (EAU) guide classification, were divided into the distal-anterior type (located on the glans or distal shaft of the penis), intermediate-middle type (penile) and proximal-posterior type (penoscrotal, scrotal, perineal). For distal type, tubularized incised plate (TIP) or dorsal inlay urethroplasty (Inlay) was performed. Patients with intermediate-middle type underwent Inlay, and patients with proximal-posterior type underwent Bracka staging. In the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, hypospadias was reclassified into distal type (located on the glan or in the first third of the shaft of the penis), junctional type (the back two-thirds of the shaft of the penis and the base of the penis), and proximal type (scrotum or perineum). For distal type, TIP or Inlay was used. Patients with junctional type were treated with urethroplasty with union free graft and local flap method (Montage). Patients with proximal type were treated with Montage or Bracka staging. Patients with testicular volume <0.8 ml and glans width <1.0 cm were treated with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) before surgery. There were 349 patients in the traditional group, with an average age of (18.58±7.59) months. There were 157 cases of distal-anterior type, 47 cases of intermediate-middle type and 145 cases of proximal-posterior type. There were 181 cases with penile curvature < 30° and 168 cases with penile curvature ≥30°. There were 340 cases in the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, with an average age of (18.94±6.05) months. According to EAU classification, 160 cases were distal-anterior type, 42 cases were intermediate-middle type and 138 cases were proximal-posterior type. There were 197 cases with penile curvature < 30° and 143 cases with penile curvature ≥30°. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). The surgical methods, incidence of postoperative complications and the time of hospital stay between the two groups compared. The changes in penis size and testis volume before and after the use of hormones in the systematic treatment group were compared. Results:In the traditional group, 139 patients underwent TIP, 65 patients underwent Inlay, and 145 patients underwent Bracka staging. In the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, 187 cases were reclassified as distal type (153 cases underwent TIP and 34 cases underwent Inlay). Of the 69 cases of junctional type, 10 cases underwent Inlay, and 59 cases underwent Montage. Of the 84 cases of proximal type, 77 cases underwent Montage, and 7 cases underwent Bracka staging. There was significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.01). In the traditional group, there were 31 cases of urinary fistula (8.9%), 43 cases of urethral stricture (12.3%), 21 cases of urethral diverticulum (6.1%), 45 cases of penile recurvature (12.9%), and the total incidence of complications was 40.1% (140/349). There were 19 cases of urinary fistula (5.6%), 28 cases of urethral stricture (8.2%), 15 cases of urethral diverticulum (4.4%) and 24 cases of penile recurvature (7.1%) in the systematic diagnosis and treatment group. The total incidence of complications was 25.3%(86/340). There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of the above complications between the two groups ( P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the duration of hospital stay between the traditional group and the systematic diagnosis and treatment group [(4.3±1.2) d vs. (1.5±0.5) d, P=0.01]. The width of glans penis after HCG treatment was (1.35±0.14) cm, which was significantly higher than that before HCG treatment [(0.96±0.24) cm, P=0.03]. The length of penis [(2.55±0.19) cm vs. (2.29±0.16) cm] and the volume of testis [(0.76±0.24) ml vs. (0.64±0.15) ml] were not significantly different from those before treatment ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The new classification has clarified the choice of surgical methods, avoiding the amplification of surgical indications. The systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new classification has significantly improved the treatment effect of hypospadias and effectively reduced postoperative complications. It provides an optional diagnosis and treatment model for hypospadias.

Objective To evaluate the effect of different techniques of hepatic artery reconstruction on postoperative hepatic artery complications and clinical prognosis in liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 140 liver transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed. All recipients were divided into the conventional hepatic artery reconstruction group (n=123) and special hepatic artery reconstruction group (n=17) according to hepatic artery reconstruction methods. Intraoperative and postoperative clinical indexes, the incidence of postoperative hepatic artery complications and survival rate were compared between two groups. Results The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels at postoperative 1 d, total bilirubin (TB) at postoperative 7 d and prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT-INR) at postoperative 30 d in special hepatic artery reconstruction group were higher than those in conventional hepatic artery reconstruction group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the operation time, anhepatic phase, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative transfusion volume of red blood cells, cold or warm ischemia time, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, the length of hospital stay and postoperative blood flow of liver allograft between two groups (all P > 0.05). In the conventional hepatic artery reconstruction group, 5 recipients developed hepatic artery complications, whereas no hepatic artery complications occurred in the special hepatic artery reconstruction group, with no significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05). In the special hepatic artery reconstruction group, the 1-, 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rates were equally 82.4%, compared with 85.0%, 78.9% and 75.6% in the conventional hepatic artery reconstruction group, respectively. There was no significant difference between two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusions When hepatic artery variations and (or) lesions are detected in donors and recipients, use of special hepatic artery reconstruction may effectively restore the hepatic arterial blood flow of liver allograft after liver transplantation, and will not affect the incidence of hepatic artery complications and survival rate of the recipients following liver transplantation.

AIM: To investigate the influencing factors of vault after the posterior chamber phakic refractive lens(PC-PRL)implantation for patients with super high myopia.METHODS: Retrospective case study. A total of 40 patients with super high myopia(77 eyes)who underwent PC-PRL implantation in the Haixiang Eye Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected. They were followed up for at least 2a, postoperative anterior segment parameters, such as the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central anterior chamber depth(ACD), anterior chamber volume(ACV), anterior chamber angle(ACA), lens thickness and vault were evaluated, and then the influencing factors of postoperative vault were analyzed.RESULTS: The UCVA and BCVA of the patients significantly improved after PC-PRL implantation(P<0.001). Average safety index(postoperative BCVA/preoperative BCVA)was 1.36±0.32, and average effective index(postoperative UCVA/preoperative BCVA)was 1.23±0.31 in 2a after surgery. The vault in 2a after surgery was correlated with preoperative ACD, ACV, ACA and lens thickness, and the preoperative ACV and lens thickness had significant impact on vault in 2a after surgery.CONCLUSIONS: The PC-PRL implantation is safe and effective in super high myopia, and it can significantly improve visual acuity. Furthermore, preoperative ACV and lens thickness are important influencing factors of postoperative vault.

Objective To evaluate if strategic urethrostomy could reduce complications in complicated hypospadias repair.Methods From January 2016 to August 2018,165 patients of complicated hypospadias were reviewed according to inclusion criteria.They were divided into three groups of one-stage repair (group A,n =86),two-stage repair using Bracka procedure (group B,n =49) and strategic urethrostomy (group C,n =30).The median age was 26 months in group A,24 months in group B and 28 months in group C.The median length of urethral defect was 3.0 (2.0-10.0) cm,4.0 (2.5-10.0) cm and 3.8(2.5-11.0) cm in the different three groups,respectively.No difference showed in age or length of urethral defect among 3 groups.Three groups were compared with rates of urethral fistula,urethral stricture and urethral diverticulum.Results After average of 20.0 months follow-up,the urethral stricture incidence of group C [3.3％ (1/30)] was significantly lower than that of group A [22.0％ (19/86),P =0.023] and group B[24.5％ (12/49),P =0.032].The complications were found in 7 patients with urethral fistula and 11 patients with urethral diverticulum in group A,4 patients with urethral fistula and 3 patients with urethral diverticulum in group B,none patient with urethral fistula nor urethral diverticulum in group C,respectively.The incidence of urethral fistula was 8.1％ (7/86),8.2％ (4/49) and 0 in the three groups,and the rate of urethral diverticulum was 12.8％ (11/86),6.1％ (3/49) and 0,respectively.None difference was shown neither in the incidence of urethral fistula nor urethral diverticulum among the three groups(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Strategic urethrostomy is a novel and effective method for complicated hypospadias repair.Application of strategic urethrostomy can significantly decrease urethral stricture and improve success rate in complicated hypospadias repair.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of monitoring drainage fluid parathyroid hormone (dPTH) for estimating the in situ reserves and function of the parathyroid by analyzing the change of serum calcium,serum parathyroid hormone(sPTH) and dPTH after thyroid surgery.Methods According to the operative method,the total of 144 patients with thyroid disease were divided into five groups:unilateral lobectomy,unilateral lobectomy plus isthmectomy with unilateral lymph node dissection,total thyroidectomy,total thyroidectomy with unilateral lymph node dissection,and total thyroidectomy with bilateral lymph node dissection group.The blood calcium,sPTH and dPTH level of patients were tested before operation and on the 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th day after operation.The depression of serum calcium,hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism were observed after operation.The serum calcium,serum PTH and dPTH level were summarized and analyzed statistically in order to evaluate the in situ reserves and postoperative function of the parathyroid.Results Among the 114 cases,the decline of serum calcium level mostly happened on the 2nd day after operation(70 cases,61.4％).There were 36 patients with hypocalcemia (31.58％) and 34 patients with hypoparathyroidism (29.82％).Serum calcium level increased gradually in all of the patients.Although sPTH level swung,it had a rising trend on the whole.The level of serum calcium and sPTH was positively correlated.The level of dPTH was discrete and decreased along with time.The decline level of dPTH among different groups had statistical difference.Conclusions It is a promising method to evaluate the in situ reserves and function of the parathyroid by monitoring the level and changes of dPTH after thyroid surgery,and it is of value for preventive calcium supplementation after thyroid surgery.

BACKGROUND:Metabonomics has been proved to analyze and observe the pathological process of rat myocardial infarction and the underlying mechanism. OBJECTIVE:To further analyze the metabolomic pathways of bioinformatics in rat models of myocardial infarction. METHODS:The experimental studies about rat myocardial infarction were retrieved from CNKI, WanFang, CqVip, PubMed and Embase databases.
