Objective:To systematically analyze the efficacy of nasal endoscopic transsphenoidal decompression and glucocorticoid pulse therapy for traumatic optic neuropathy (TON).Methods:PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrial.gov, CNKI, Wanfang, China Biomedical and other databases were searched to retrieve clinical studies on endoscopic surgery and hormone therapy for TON since their establishment to November 1, 2020.Two researchers screened the literature and evaluated the quality of the included literatures.The improvement of visual acuity before and after treatment was taken as an effective indicator.RevMan 5.3 statistical software was used for meta-analysis.The sensitivity of the results was analyzed atfer literature exclusion.The publication bias of each study was double checked by funnel plot and Begg test.Results:Eight studies were included, including 7 cohort studies and 1 randomized controlled trial.There was no significant difference between the endoscopic decompression group and glucocorticoid group in the efficiency of visual acuity improvement in the treatment of TON [odds ratio ( OR)=1.65, 95% confidence interval ( CI)∶0.75-3.66, P=0.22], neither in TON patients with residual vision before surgery ( OR=2.17, 95% CI: 0.94-4.98, P=0.07). For nasal endoscopic decompression surgery, early surgery (disease course<7 days) was more effective than late surgery (disease course>7 days) ( OR=4.73, 95% CI: 2.55-8.78, P<0.01). Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results of this literature analysis were not robust.The Begg test showed that there was no literature publication bias. Conclusions:There is no significant difference between nasal endoscopic surgery and glucocorticoid therapy in the treatment of TON.Early endoscopic surgery may help improve visual acuity in patients with residual vision.

Objective To observe the value of quantitative CT(QCT)for predicting the efficacy of medical thoracoscopic giant emphysematous bullae(GEB)volume reduction.Methods Data of chest QCT and pulmonary function tests before and 6 months after medical thoracoscopic volume reduction in 26 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)patients complicated with GEB who underwent medical thoracoscopic GEB volume reduction were retrospectively analyzed.According to the improvement rate of lung function(forced expiratory volume in one second[FEV1])6 months after treatment compared with that before treatment,the patients were divided into significant improvement group(FEV1 improvement rate≥15%,n=20)and non-significant improvement group(FEV1 improvement rate<15%,n=6).QCT parameters before treatment were compared between groups,and the correlations of QCT parameters being significantly different between groups with FEV1 improvement 6 months after treatment were analyzed.Then receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to evaluate the efficacy of the above parameters for predicting the curative effect of medical thoracoscopic volume reduction of GEB.Results Significant differences of preoperative target lung lobe volume,total lung volume and bullae volume were found between groups(all P<0.05).Preoperative target lung lobe volume,total lung volume,target lobar bullae volume and total lung bullae volume were positively correlated with FEV1 improvement(r/rs=0.600,0.470,0.699,0.523,all P<0.05),with the area under the curve(AUC)for predicting FEV1 improvement of 0.817,0.817,0.892 and 0.833(all P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion QCT could effectively predict the efficacy of medical thoracoscopic GEB volume reduction.
10.Current status of surgical treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism
International Journal of Surgery 2022;49(2):117-121
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is the most common complication of chronic kidney disease. It is usually manifested as a series of symptoms such as bone and joint pain, bone deformity, limb numbness and fatigue, which seriously affect the quality of patients’life. Effective therapeutic interventions are very important to reduce the mortality and morbidity of SHPT patients. For most early stage patients, durg therapy combined with adequate dialysis is very effective for disease control, but as the disease progresses, SHPT will enter the irrevesible stage and patients will become resistant to durg therapy. Surgery is the only effective treatment for advanced SHPT. However, there are still some problems such as different surgical methods, unclear surgical indications, higher perioperative risk and recurrence rate, surgery has not been widely used in clinical treatment. Now the present status of surgery treatment of SHPT is introduced in order to provide reference for the further research and development of surgery treatment.
