OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of intranasal branches neurotomy of vidian nerve in the treatment of persistent moderate to severe allergic rhinitis. METHODS Cases diagnosed as persistent moderate-severe allergic rhinitis in our department were collected. those treated with branches neurotomy of vidian nerve were selected as the treatment group,and those treated with conservative medicine were selected as the control group. The visual analogue scale(VAS),rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire(RQLQ),Nitric oxide in nose(nNO) and medication score evaluation of two groups of cases were evaluated respectively short-term(<1 year),medium-term(1 to 3 years) and long-term prognosis of outcome(3 to 5 years). RESULTS The short-term,mid-term and long-term postoperative VAS(2.26±0.75,2.30±0.63,2.49±0.57),RQLQ(0.55±0.11,0.55±0.11,1.00±0.12),nNO[(464.62±75.84)ppb,(378.63±110.21)ppb,(368.23±104.25)ppb]and medication scores (2.50±1.03,2.54±0.99,2.95±0.93) were significantly lower than those before operation[6.76±0.58,3.35±0.40,(696.64±132.69)ppb,5.17±1.50)]. The VAS,RQLQ,nNO and medication scores of the control group were lower than those of the control group at the corresponding time points(all P<0.05). One patient developed blindness in the right eye after interventional treatment due to epistaxis 21 days after operation,but no serious complications directly related to intranasal branches neurotomy of vidian nerve occurred. CONCLUSION The branches neurotomy of vidian nerve have a positive outcome in short,medium and long-term for persistent moderate to severe allergic rhinitis,the operation is safe and effective.

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model of liver failure after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.Method:A retrospective case-control study was designed. Clinical data and laboratory results, including gender, age, and preoperative 18 laboratory indicators, were collected from 320 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing liver resection in Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2023. According to the surgical time, 252 cases in the training cohort were divided into 62 and 190 cases with and without postoperative liver failure, respectively. Of the 68 cases in validation cohort, 34 developed postoperative liver failure and 34 did not. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to conduct univariate analysis of gender, age, and 18 preoperative laboratory indicators, and multivariate analysis was carried out for significant results to determine the influencing factors of liver failure after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma, and Logistic regression model was established.Result:In the training cohort, indicators significantly associated with liver failure after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma included age ( P=0.016), platelets ( P=0.005), prealbumin ( P<0.001), and alkaline phosphatase ( P<0.001). Logistic regression was used to construct a nomogram model and draw a calibration curve by combining these four indicators. In the training cohort, the nomogram model showed good discriminability in predicting the risk of liver failure after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. The area under the curve of was 0.82 (95% CI 0.76-0.88), and the sensitivity was 73% and specificity was 80% when the optimal cut-off value was 0.2646. In the validation cohort, the predictive performance of the nomogram model was comparable to that of the training cohort, with an area under the curve of 0.81 (95% CI 0.71-0.92), sensitivity of 82%, and specificity of 77%. Conclusion:Preoperative platelet and prealbumin decreases, alkaline phosphatase increases, and elderly patients are prone to liver failure after liver resection. The nomogram model constructed with preoperative test data has shows good discriminatory ability and accuracy in predicting liver failure after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.
