ObjectiveTo explore the impacts of material type and loading volume of rigid containers on the hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma sterilization of thoracoscopic instruments, to identify the best rigid containers and loading volume of thoracoscopic instruments. MethodsThoracoscopic instruments sterilized by STERRAD^® 100NX hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital affiliated to Tongji University from August to September 2024 were selected as the research items. According to the material of rigid containers, the instruments were divided into polyethylene case group (A), stainless steel case group (B) and silicone resin case group (C). In terms of the loading volume, the rigid containers were divided into (loading capacity <80%) groups of 8, 10 and 12 instruments. The results of physical monitoring, the first type of chemical indicator card monitoring, and the five types of card luminal chemical process challenge device (PCD) monitoring of the 9 groups of A8, A10, A12, B8, B10, B12, C8, C10 and C12 were compared and evaluated. ResultsCompared to A8, A10 A12, C8, C10 or C12 groups, the thoracoscope instruments in the stainless steel containers in B8, B10 or B12 group had higher hydrogen peroxide concentrations and shorter elapsed time in the pressure check phases 1 and phases 2, with the differences statistically significant (P<0.05), followed by the silicone resin case group and the polyethylene case group. The nine groups of physical parameter monitoring, the first type of chemical indicator monitoring, and the five types of chemical PCD monitoring for lumen sterilization achieved 100% qualification rates, and there were no significant differences in the qualified rates of sterilization among the 9 groups (P>0.05). ConclusionWhen using hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma to sterilize thoracoscopic instruments, it is recommended to use stainless steel or silicone resin rigid containers with a controlled loading capacity (≤12) to ensure optimal sterilization quality.

Objective:To determine the diagnostic accuracy and prognosis of fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) detected by ultrasound at 11-13 weeks gestation.Methods:Fetuses at 11 to 13 + 6 weeks gestation in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between January 2015 and December 2022 were prospectively collected. Standrardized ultrasound was used to examine the fetuses. For the suspected fetal CHD, the section of cardiac ultrasound was improved as far as possible, and ultrasonic results, prenatal diagnosis, pathological anatomy and pregnancy outcome were followed up. Results:A total of 539 cases of CHD were detected in 72 242 fetuses with mixed risk in the first trimester, the incidence was 0.75% (539/72 242). The incidence of CHD in the fetuses with positive soft markers was 9.20% (287/3 118), and the incidence of multiple fetal malformations was 16.22% (235/1 449). The diagnostic accordance rate of complex CHD was 97.42%. For complex CHD, the sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate and false negative rate of first-trimester ultrasound were 90.41%, 99.98%, 0.02%, 9.59%. Combined with the results of this study, the abnormal section model of complex CHD was recommended. A total of 252 cases underwent staining chromosomal microarray or gene sequencing, of which 42.46% (107/252) were positive.Conclusions:Standardized ultrasound examination has a very high detection rate for fetal CHD in the first trimester. Transverse scanning of the heart can significantly improve the display of gray scale cardiac section, and reference to the cardiac section pattern map is beneficial to the early diagnosis of fetal CHD.

Objective:To investigate the value of virtual touch tissue imaging quantitative (VTIQ) combined with serum thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) detection in predicting the recurrence of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) after breast preservation surgery.Methods:A total of 102 TNBC patients admitted to our hospital from May. 2020 to Apr. 2022 who underwent elective breast-preserving surgery were selected as the study objects. VTIQ was examined after surgery, shear wave velocity (SWV) was measured, and serum TK1 was detected. All patients were followed up after surgery, and tumor recurrence two years after surgery was statistically analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of tumor recurrence after TNBC breast-preserving preservation, and ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of SWV and serum TK1 levels on tumor recurrence.Results:The tumor recurrence rate of 102 TNBC patients was 29.41% (30/102) at 2 years after breast-preserving surgery. The TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, the levels of SWV and TK1 in the relapsed group were higher ( χ2=4.42, χ2=6.41, t=6.97, t=6.15, all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis, SWV and serum TK1 level were influential factors for tumor recurrence at 2 years after breast-preserving surgery in TNBC patients ( OR=3.093, OR=3.501, OR=2.939, all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC values of SWV and serum TK1 levels and their combined detection in predicting tumor recurrence after breast-preserving in TNBC patients were 0.821, 0.778 and 0.869, respectively, the sensitivity was 66.67%, 73.33% and 83.33%, respectively, and the specificity was 81.94%, 76.39% and 79.17%, respectively. The combined detection of SWV and serum TK1 level was more effective than the single detection in predicting tumor recurrence in patients with TNBC after breast-preserving surgery. Conclusion:SWV and serum TK1 levels are related to tumor recurrence after TNBC, and can predict tumor recurrence, and the combined detection of the two indicators can improve the prediction efficiency of tumor recurrence after TNBC.

Objective : To classify the furcation involvement (FI) of endodontically treated mandibular first permanent molars based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), provide reference for individualized treatment of FI. Methods: CBCT images of the FI of 164 endodontically treated mandibular first permanent molars from 163 patients in Nanjing Stomatological Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University were collected retrospectively. On the CBCT images, the shape and extent of periapical and periodontitis bone resorption, the thickness of residual dentin in the pulp floor and root canal wall, and the periodontal bone resorption of the complete dentition were evaluated. The FI was classified into periodontal, periapical, perforated and mixed types. Results: Among the 164 FIs of endodontically treated mandibular first permanent molars, the periapical type was the most common (41.5%), followed by the mixed type (26.2%), perforated type (18.3%), and periodontal type (14.0%). Among the 68 periapical-type FIs of endodontically treated mandibular first permanent molars, 48.5% were proper root canal filling, 44.1% were insufficient filling and 7.4% were overfilling. Among the 43 mixed-type FIs, the periodontal mixed periapical type was the most common (72.1%). Conclusion Detailed evaluation and classification of furcation involvement could be performed using CBCT images; therefore, the study has guiding significance for clinical treatment.
