Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of using the fourth arm in retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy(PN)for cT1b stage renal tumors.Methods Clinical data of 49 patients with cT1b stage renal tumors who underwent retroperitoneal robot-assisted PN performed by the same surgeon in our hospital during Jan.2022 and Dec.2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups based on whether the fourth arm was used or not:application group(n=21)and non-application group(n=28).The basic information,operation time,warm ischemia time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative complications and other data were compared between the two groups.Results All operations were successful,with no conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy.The application group had significantly shorter operation time[(128.76±31.58)min vs.(151.11±33.21)min,P=0.021],shorter warm ischemia time[(24.67±4.80)min vs.(27.61±3.54)min,P=0.017],and less intraoperative blood loss[(109.05±39.99)mL vs.(139.29±54.43)mL,P=0.037]compared with the non-application group.The increase of postoperative creatinine was(18.64±16.05)μmol/L in the application group and(20.30±13.49)μmol/L in the non-application group respectively.Complications occurred in 3 cases in the application group and 5 cases in the non-application group,with no significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion When we perform the retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for cT1b stage renal tumors,using the fourth arm can shorten the operation time and warm ischemia time,and reduce the intraoperative blood loss,which should be applied more in clinic.

Objective:To explore the application and research progress of lasers in the treatment of kidney neoplasms through an integrated bibliometric and Meta-analysis study.Methods:On June 7th, 2024, an online search of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases for all relevant literature on lasers in kidney neoplasms was conducted. The retrieved results were subjected to a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. The high-quality studies were then screened to further describe the clinical characteristics of patients who underwent laser-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LLPN). Subsequently, a Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4.1 software on further selected high-quality studies to compare the changes in renal function before and after LLPN treatment, and the differences in efficacy between LLPN and traditional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN).Results:Our study obtained a total of 549 publications on lasers in kidney neoplasms, including 513 in English and 36 in Chinese. Bibliometric analysis revealed an overall upward trend in the annual publications and citations in this field. China was found to be a leading contributor ranking second in total publications ( n=100, 18.2%). The primary application of laser treatment was in nephron-sparing surgery for kidney neoplasms, especially in LPN. We further screened 11 high-quality studies comprising 284 patients who underwent LLPN for kidney neoplasms. Comprehensive descriptive statistical analysis was performed on clinical characteristics of the 284 patients. All patients had T 1a stage tumors with a mean tumor length of 2.6 cm (range: 0.8-4.0 cm), all being local, solitary, and exophytic tumors. Further Meta-analysis indicated that there were no significant differences in renal function indicators including both serum creatinine levels ( MD=4.52, 95% CI-9.73-0.69, P = 0.09) and estimated glomerular filtration rate ( MD=3.05, 95% CI-1.03-7.13, P= 0.14) before and after LLPN. Additionally, compared to traditional LPN, LLPN showed significantly reduced operative time ( MD=-10.58, 95% CI= -13.11-8.06, P<0.001), but no significant differences in estimated blood loss ( MD= -27.09, 95% CI-67.38-13.21, P=0.19) and hospital stay ( MD=-1.59, 95% CI-3.42-0.25, P=0.09). Conclusions:The application of lasers in managing of kidney neoplasms is arousing increasing attention among urologists. LLPN offers several advantages, including precise cutting and effective hemostasis. This technique demonstrates considerable clinical value for patients with exophytic T 1a kidney neoplasms undergoing "zero-ischemia" nephron-sparing surgery.

In order to explore the role of pre-basic course teaching in the standardized training of residents in clinical pathology, we have independently designed and constructed a pre-basic course teaching system mainly focusing on anatomy and histoembryology, consisting of two levels of theoretical teaching (small lectures by students and systematic lectures by instructors) and two dimensions of practical training (sample collection teaching and case teaching). This teaching model centering on participatory lecturing, practice, summarization, assessment, and feedback has been demonstrated effective. The results showed that the theoretical and practical assessment scores of the experimental group [(458.80±17.60) and (415.40±19.30), respectively] were significantly higher than those of the control group [(444.50±20.90) and (398.80±23.70), respectively]. Among 28 students of grades 2019 to 2021 surveyed for teaching effectiveness, 96.43% were satisfied with the teaching model. The established teaching model provides new ideas for the reform of teaching methods in the standardized training of residents in clinical pathology.

Pathological specimen sampling is not only the prerequisite of a good pathological diagnosis, but also the primary clinical skill that must be mastered by the standardized residency training trainees (resident trainees) in clinical pathology department. In view of the problems and difficulties encountered in the teaching of specimen sampling, through five years of exploration and attempt, this paper has gradually established a new model with five basic elements, including theory teaching, practice teaching, promoting teaching effect by examination, learning from senior students, and review teaching. The results of evaluation analysis and questionnaire survey show that the teaching mode can make the trainees master the methods of specimen sampling quickly and efficiently, learn and improve clinical skills in practice, and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent standardized training of histopathological diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic non-blocking partial nephrectomy assisted by high power lateral green laser in the treatment of T 1a renal tumor. Methods:The clinical data of 10 patients with T1a stage renal tumor from February 2021 to April 2021 in department of urology, Gongli hospital affiliated to Naval Military Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 males and 3 females, aged 47.0-74.0 years, with average of(58.8±9.7)years old. The diameter of the tumor ranged from 2.0 cm to 3.8 cm, with an average of (3.1±0.6)cm. There were 6 cases on the left side and 4 cases on the right side, locate on lumbar side in 9 cases and ventral sied in 1 case. The R. E.N.A.L score was 4.0-6.0, with an average of (5.0±0.8). The preoperative creatinine was 66.9-90.1μmol/L, with an average of (75.1±9.0)μmol/L, preoperative GFR of 44. 6- 67. 3 ml /min, with an average of(56.7±7.7)ml/min, preoperative hemoglobin level of 119.0-156.0g/L, with an average of (135.8±11.4)g/L. All patients underwent laparoscopic non-blocking partial nephrectomy assisted by 180w lateral green laser, free the surrounding area of the tumor fully and completely expose the renal tumor. The laser fiber was placed through the green laser hand piece, and the fiber was connected with normal saline to wash the strip. The initial green laser vaporization power was set at 80W, and the hemostasis power at 35W.About 3mm away from the edge of the tumor, and one optical fiber away from the renal parenchyma, the renal parenchyma was cut with 80W power. In order to reduce the interference by smoke, high-pressure flushing was used through the optical fiber while vaporizing, and an attractor was used to push and peel the tumor. In case of bleeding during operation, hemostatic power can be used to close the bleeding point and gradually advance until the tumor was completely removed. The wounds of renal inner medulla and renal outer cortex were continuously sutured in 1-3 layers with barbed suture. It involved 9 cases via retroperitoneal approach and 1 case via abdominal approach. The operation time, postoperative hemoglobin decrease, extraction time of negative pressure drainage, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative pathology and postoperative complications were recorded, and the serum creatinine level and GFR level of the affected side were followed up 1 month after operation.Results:All the operations were successfully completed, and there was no conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy. One case changed to scissors fast resection and sutured hemostasis due to severe intraoperative bleeding. The operation time was 90.0-120.0 min, with the average of (104.5±9.0)min. The postoperative hemoglobin level was 96.0-132.0g/L, with an average of (115.2±11.8)g/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The postoperative hemoglobin decreased from 12.0g/L to 25.0g/L, with an average of (20.6±4.6)g/L. The time of vacuum drainage was 5.0-7.0 days, with an average of (5.7±0.7)d. Postoperative hospital stay was 6.0-8.0 days, with an average of (6.7±0.7)d. No bleeding, urinary leakage and other complications occurred in all patients. There were 7 cases of clear cell carcinoma, 2 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma and 1 case of angiomyolipoma. All margins were negative. One month after operation, creatinine ranged from 66.0 to 90.4μmol/L, with an average of (76.8±8.3)μmol/L, which was not significantly different compared with that before operation ( P>0.05). One month after operation, GFR was 45.1-60.8 ml/min, and with an average of (55.5±4.7)ml/min, and there was no significant difference compared with preoperative data( P>0.05). Conclusions:For T 1aN 0M 0 stage and exophytic renal tumors, laparoscopic non-blocking partial nephrectomy assisted by lateral green laser is safe and effective.

To promote the standard construction of biosafety autopsy platform is the key to the pathological study of emerging infectious diseases. Pathological research and clinical diagnosis and treatment should be combined to inform each other.

Objective:To construct an Omaha system-based remote intervention program for clinical nurses' neck, shoulder and low back pain and evaluate its effect.Methods:From July to October 2020, 94 nurses with neck, shoulder and low back pain in a Class Ⅲ hospital were randomly selected by ward. Using the envelope method, nurses were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group, with 47 cases in each group, among them, the intervention group dropped 1 and the remaining 46 persons, the control group dropped 4 and the remaining 43 persons. The intervention group conducted a remote intervention program (using Omaha system as the theoretical framework, and using literature review, semi-structured interviews and expert consultation to construct a remote intervention program for clinical nurses' neck, shoulder and low back pain) . The control group used conventional guidance. The General Information Questionnaire, Exercise Compliance Questionnaire, Knowledge-Behavior-Symptoms (K-B-S) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the intervention effect.Results:The exercise compliance of nurses in the intervention group was 78.26% (36/46) and that in the control group was 39.53% (17/43) , the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . After 6 weeks of intervention, the nurses' cognitive and behavior scores in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the symptom score between the two groups ( P>0.05) . The VAS score and frequency of neck, shoulder and low back pain were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Based on Omaha system, the remote intervention program for the clinical nurses' neck, shoulder and low back pain is safe, scientific and theoretical. It can improve cognition and behavior of neck, shoulder and low back pain nurses, reduce the intensity and frequency of pain, and the nurses have good compliance.

Objective:To explore the operative effect and treatment strategies for the low distal humerus fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 16 patients with the low distal humerus fracture between January 2016 and January 2018 at Department of Orthopaedics, Shanghai Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University.All fractures were coronal fractures of humeral head, partly combined fractures of humeral trochlea or posterior part. Fractures were classified according to Dubberley classification as 9 cases in type Ⅰ, 3 cases in typeⅡ and 4 cases in type Ⅲ.Selection of the kind of operative approach and internal fixation was made according to the fracture type and shape. For simple coronal fractures of humeral head or combining humeral trochlea fractures, which were relatively stable, single or multiple countersunk screws fixation by the lateral approach were chosen.For humeral head coronal fractures, which combining obviously displaced comminuted humeral trochlea factures, posterolateral locking plates and countersunk screws internal fixation by the olecranon osteotomy approach were chosen. The incision and elbow soft tissues were observed within 2 weeks after operation.The radiographic evaluation of fracture reduction, bone healing, internal fixation, arthritis and elbow range of motion were made at 3, 6, 12 months after operation. The Mayo elbow functional scores were documented for analysis of elbow joint function, and compared between different surgery groups by Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results:The follow-up time was (22.1±9.2)months(range: 15 to 39 months). The incisions healed well in 2 weeks after operation without soft tissue infection, necrosis or vascular complications. There was no fracture reduction loss or internal fixation loosening according to radiographic evaluation 3 months after operation. One case of ectopic ossification was observed 6 months after operation and inhibited by the treatment of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.One case of ulnar neuritis occurred after operation and released after removing the long screw and loosing the ulnar.Osteoarthritis images were observed at the end of follow-up.Arc of motion was (120.4±11.2) ° in flexion and (5.5±1.9) ° in extension. The Mayo score was 88.7±9.1, including 11 excellent, 4 good, and 1 fair.The Mayo score was 90.1±3.7 in Dubberley classification type Ⅰcases, 89.7±4.6 in type Ⅱ cases and 84.5±5.8 in type Ⅲ cases. There were no significant differences in Mayo scores between 3 types cases according to Kruskal-Wallis H test. Conclusion:Choosing the appropriate surgical approach and composite internal fixation according to the fracture types and shapes of low distal humerus fracture, anatomic reduction of the articular surface and early functional exercise are the keys to obtain ideal curative effect.

Objective:To investigate the pathological characteristics and the clinical significance of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected pneumonia (termed by WHO as coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19).Methods:Minimally invasive autopsies from lung, heart, kidney, spleen, bone marrow, liver, pancreas, stomach, intestine, thyroid and skin were performed on three patients died of novel coronavirus pneumonia in Chongqing, China. Hematoxylin and eosin staining (HE), transmission electron microcopy, and histochemical staining were performed to investigate the pathological changes of indicated organs or tissues. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted to evaluate the infiltration of immune cells as well as the expression of 2019-nCoV proteins. Real time PCR was carried out to detect the RNA of 2019-nCoV.Results:Various damages were observed in the alveolar structure, with minor serous exudation and fibrin exudation. Hyaline membrane formation was observed in some alveoli. The infiltrated immune cells in alveoli were majorly macrophages and monocytes. Moderate multinucleated giant cells, minimal lymphocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils were also observed. Most of infiltrated lymphocytes were CD4-positive T cells. Significant proliferation of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelia and focal desquamation of alveolar epithelia were also indicated. The blood vessels of alveolar septum were congested, edematous and widened, with modest infiltration of monocytes and lymphocytes. Hyaline thrombi were found in a minority of microvessels. Focal hemorrhage in lung tissue, organization of exudates in some alveolar cavities, and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis were observed. Part of the bronchial epithelia were exfoliated. Coronavirus particles in bronchial mucosal epithelia and type Ⅱ alveolar epithelia were observed under electron microscope. Immunohistochemical staining showed that part of the alveolar epithelia and macrophages were positive for 2019-nCoV antigen. Real time PCR analyses identified positive signals for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. Decreased numbers of lymphocyte, cell degeneration and necrosis were observed in spleen. Furthermore, degeneration and necrosis of parenchymal cells, formation of hyaline thrombus in small vessels, and pathological changes of chronic diseases were observed in other organs and tissues, while no evidence of coronavirus infection was observed in these organs.Conclusions:The lungs from novel coronavirus pneumonia patients manifest significant pathological lesions, including the alveolar exudative inflammation and interstitial inflammation, alveolar epithelium proliferation and hyaline membrane formation. While the 2019-nCoV is mainly distributed in lung, the infection also involves in the damages of heart, vessels, liver, kidney and other organs. Further studies are warranted to investigate the mechanism underlying pathological changes of this disease.
