Objective:To assess the predictive value of acute liver failure (ALF) for sepsis-free survival (SFS) in burn patients and to identify associated risk factors.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on burn patients meeting inclusion criteria from the 2014 Kunshan aluminum dust explosion disaster (August 2, 2014 - April 13, 2015). Eligible patients were stratified into ALF and non-ALF groups based on the development of ALF. Demographic characteristics, total burn surface area, organ dysfunction, time to sepsis onset, and clinical outcomes were collected and compared between groups. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression were performed to assess the impact of ALF on SFS. A nomogram model was constructed for individualized risk prediction.Results:Among 185 enrolled patients (ALF group:21, non-ALF group:164), ALF incidence was 11.35%. The ALF group demonstrated higher mortality (85.71% vs. 34.15%, P<0.001) and SFS failure rates (100.00% vs. 61.59%, P<0.001) compared to non-ALF patients. Multivariate Cox analysis identified ALF as an independent sepsis predictor ( HR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.00-2.80, P<0.05). Time-dependent ROC analysis showed AUCs of 0.626, 0.714, 0.703, and 0.706 for SFS prediction at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks respectively. The nomogram model demonstrated that ALF combined with other parameters effectively predicted sepsis risk within 2-12 weeks post-injury. ALF development showed significant associations with concurrent organ dysfunction including acute kidney injury, acute heart failure, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (all P<0.001). A higher proportion of ALF patients received hemodialysis ( P<0.001) and pre-hospital central venous catheterization ( P=0.017). Conclusions:ALF independently predicts SFS failure and correlates strongly with poor prognosis in burn patients. Early ALF recognition and targeted interventions may facilitate sepsis risk stratification and precision prevention strategies.

Objective To investigate the effects of different contrast injection schemes on the image quality of triple-rule-out com-puted tomography angiography(TRO-CTA).Methods A total of 691 patients with acute chest pain who underwent TRO-CTA exami-nation from multiple centers were prospectively selected and randomly divided into mixed group and unmixed group according to dif-ferent contrast injection methods.The image quality of aorta,pulmonary artery and coronary artery in the two groups was evaluated subjectively and objectively and the radiation dose was calculated.Results There were no significant differences in subjective image quality scores,aorta and coronary CT values,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)between the two groups(P>0.05),while there were significant differences in pulmo-nary CT values,SNR,CNR and radiation dose between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The utilization of a mixed contrast injection scheme in TRO-CTA can satisfy diagnostic require-ments while ensuring a low proportional dosage and reduced radiation dose,which has clinical application value.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has been a major health burden in the world. So far, many strategies have been investigated to control the spread of COVID-19, including social distancing, disinfection protocols, vaccines, and antiviral treatments. Despite the significant achievement, due to the constantly emerging new variants, COVID-19 is still a great challenge to the global healthcare system. It is an urgent demand for the development of new therapeutics and technologies for containing the wild spread of SARS-CoV-2. Inhaled administration is useful for the treatment of lung and respiratory diseases, and enables the drugs to reach the site of action directly with benefits of decreased dose, improved safety, and enhanced patient compliance. Nanotechnology has been extensively applied in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. In this review, the inhaled nanomedicines and antibodies, as well as intranasal nanodrugs, for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 are summarized.

The traditional view is that breast reconstruction is not an option for day surgery center. As a result, few hospitals in the world conduct this operation in day surgery center. Endoscopic breast reconstruction with liposuction and robot-assisted breast reconstruction are minimally invasive surgeries for breast cancer patients, but they cannot be carried out in the day surgery center due to long operation time. The novel endoscopic-assisted immediate implant-based breast reconstruction after nipple sparing mastectomy through a single axillary incision for breast cancer patients has been successfully conducted in the day surgery center in our hospital due to short operation time and small trauma. Standardized management of the complete process from the patient selection to follow-up after discharge brings rapid recovery and few complications. At the same time, the development of endoscopic surgery makes the breast almost scarless and improves aesthetic results. Therefore, the mode of endoscopic-assisted reconstruction in the day surgery center of our hospital is expected to be popularized in the whole country.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of holographic image technology in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).Methods:The clinical data of 34 patients with prostate cancer who underwent RARP in our hospital during October 2020 and December 2020 was analyzed retrospectively. The average age of the patients was 67.8 (52-78) years. The mean BMI was 25.8 (18.0-32.3) kg/m 2. The median level of PSA before surgery was 13.4 (2-149) ng/ml. Median prostate volume was 31.7 (9.5-159.1) ml. EAU risk groups for biochemical recurrence of localised and locally advanced prostate cancer were list as below: 5 cases of low-risk, 7 cases of medium-risk, 22 cases of high-risk. There were 9, 16, 9 cases with the ASA score of 1, 2, 3 point, respectively. Preoperative Gleason score of 34 patients were list as below: 9 cases in score ≤6 group, 15 cases in score=7 group, 10 cases in score ≥8 group. For clinical stage before the surgery, 13 cases ≤T 2a stage, 1 case in T 2b stage, 20 cases ≥T 2c stage. The engineers established holographic images of 34 patients based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and the reports before the operation. Surgeons can obtain the size and location of tumors, surrounding neurovascular bundles visually by revolving, assembling, disassembling and concealing images, which was helpful for pre-surgery planning. By manipulating the holographic images extracorporeally, surgeons can discriminate Internal sphincter of urinary bladder and vesicoprostatic muscle, neurovascular bundles, membranous part, seminal vesicle easily, which improves the operation accuracy. Results:All 34 cases underwent operation successfully without transferring to open surgery. The median operative time was 157.5 (95-276) min with an estimated blood loss of 50 (20-300) ml. The median drainage removal time was 2 d and median hospitalization time was 3.5 d, respectively. The catheters were removed within an average time of 20.5 d. For postoperative Gleason score, there were 2 cases in score ≤6 group, 16 cases in score =7 group, 8 cases in score ≥8 group and 8 cases can’t make a score. For clinical stage after the surgery, 10 cases were ≤T 2a stage, 1 case was T 2b stage, 23 cases were ≥cT 2c stage. 22 cases underwent pelvic lymph node dissection, including a patient with right iliac fossa lymph node metastasis. There were 2 cases with positive surgical margin and 3 cases with Clavien-DindoⅠcomplications. The rate of 1-month and 3-month urinary continence were 47.1% and79.4%, respectively, 8 cases recovered erectile function after 3 month. Conclusions:Holographic image technology can promote cancer dissection completely, achieve urinary continence early and reduce perioperative complications tremendously. The technology is the "intraoperative security" for the accurate surgical treatment of prostate cancer.
