Objective To analyze the characteristics of weekend surgery,and explore to shorten the preoperative hospital stay and average hospital stay of patients.Method Extract actual data on the number of discharged surgical patients and length of hospital stay,and use the Questionnaire Star to investigate the recognition of weekend surgeries by medical staff.Using chi square test and independent sample rank sum test,compare the differences in patients and surgical characteristics between weekend surgery and non weekend surgery,and analyze the influencing factors of surgical physicians using binary logistic regression model.Result The median length of hospital stay(3.0 days)and preoperative hospital stay(0.5 days)was lower than that of non weekend surgery patients(5.0,1.5 days);The proportion of fourth grade surgeries on weekends(28.9％)was lower than that of non weekend surgeries(37.0％);The consultation rate(10.74％)was lower than that of non weekend surgeries(17.0％);The proportion of daytime pilot surgeries(30.7％)was higher than that of non weekend surgeries(20.4％).The factors with the highest recognition among medical staff for conducting weekend surgeries were:improving patient satisfaction(84.7％)and reducing preoperative waiting risks(84.4％).The lowest factors were family support(45.5％)and multi departmental assistance and cooperation(58.8％).Conclusion Weekend surgery effectively shortens the average preoperative and average hospitalization days.Move the hospitalization consultation required for comorbidities management and preoperative examinations to the outpatient department.Mobilize the coordination and supporting resources of various departments within the hospital,and organically integrate various surgical methods such as weekend surgery and day surgery to improve the efficiency of medical operation.

Objective:To analyze the real-world practices of resecting sessile colorectal polyps of varying long diameters using cold forcep polypectomy (CFP), cold snare polypectomy (CSP), or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR).Methods:A total of 12 290 nonpedunculated colorectal polyps of long diameter ≤19 mm (from 10 295 patients) were retrospectively enrolled from January 2022 to December 2023. Polypectomy was conducted by 30 endoscopists. The polyps were categorized into three groups based on long diameter: 1-5 mm, >5-10 mm and >10-19 mm, and the differences of polypectomy methods were compared in three groups. The usage of hemostatic clips in CSP among >5-10 mm polyps and the changes in resection methods between 2022 and 2023 were analyzed.Results:CFP (6 769 polyps, 81.7%) was the predominant method for resecting 1-5 mm sessile polyps (8 289 polyps). For sessile polyps sized >5-10 mm (2 455 polyps), CSP was used most (1 372, 55.9%), although its utilization varied significantly among physicians with the median usage rate of 52.9% (40.3%, 60.0%). EMR (1 349 poolyps, 87.3%) was the main method for >10-19 mm sessile polyps. The usage rate of CSP in sessile polypectomy for polyps >5-10 mm significantly increased from 45.7% (503/1 101) in 2022 to 64.2% (869/1 354) in 2023. The overall frequency of using clip in CSP for >5-10 mm sessile polyps was 40.1% (550/1 372), demonstrating notable variability among different endoscopists with median usage rate of 48.3% (29.8%, 67.9%).Conclusion:Varied resection methods are observed among endoscopists for sessile polyps measuring ≤19 mm. CFP is primarily utilized for polyps of 1-5 mm, while CSP is favored for polyps >5-10 mm, with an increasing annual usage rate. EMR is the main approach for the polyps >10-19 mm. Additionally, notable variations in the use of metal clips during CSP are observed among different physicians.

Objective To evaluate the dosimetric impact of interfractional bladder fullness variation in volumetric modulated arc therapy for cervical cancer using artificial intelligence-assisted cone-beam CT(CBCT)image segmentation,and propose an imaging-based quantitative assessment criterion for bladder fullness,providing an objective basis for assessing bladder filling status during clinical treatment.Methods Fifty patients receiving volumetric modulated arc therapy for cervical cancer were selected.The criterion for determining bladder fullness was as follow:if the bladder longitudinal diameter measured on the CBCT mid-sagittal plane was greater than half of the bladder longitudinal diameter measured on the localizable CT,it was defined as≥50%bladder fullness;otherwise,it was defined as<50%bladder fullness.Based on this criterion,two CBCT images were selected for each patient(representing fractions with≥50%and<50%fullness,respectively).Borui auto-contouring system was applied to re-contour the target areas and organs at risk,followed by dose recalculation.Results Compared with≥50%bladder fullness group,<50%bladder fullness group had significantly increased bladder V40,and small bowel Dmax,Dmean,V55,V45,V40(P<0.05),indicating that during interfractional radiotherapy,a CBCT-measured bladder longitudinal diameter less than half of the bladder longitudinal diameter measured on the localizable CT could serve as a predictor for significantly increased radiation dose to the bladder and small bowel.Correlation analysis revealed that bladder volume change showed a positive correlation with bladder Dmax change(R=0.45),a significant negative correlation with bladder V30(R=-0.37),and negative correlations with small bowel Dmax,Dmean,V55,V45,V40(R=-0.31,-0.41,-0.39,-0.49,-0.61).The correlation results indicate that increasing bladder fullness could reduce the radiation dose to the bladder and small bowel.Conclusion Artificial intelligence-assisted segmentation confirms that in interfractional radiotherapy for cervical cancer,when the CBCT-measured bladder longitudinal diameter is less than half of the longitudinal diameter measured on the localizable CT,there is a significant increase in radiation dose to OAR.Maintaining an ideal state of bladder fullness contributes to reducing the radiation dose to the bladder and small bowel.It is crucial to provide patients with adequate bladder management education before treatment and implement strict bladder volume management strategies during treatment fractions.

Objective To investigate the effects of strength training and flexibility training on the strategy of crossing obstacles for the elderly women and the risk of tripping over obstacles.Methods Twenty five elderly women were randomly divided into strength training group(n=13)and flexibility training group(n=12),and received corresponding intervention training for 12 weeks.The kinematics data of obstacle crossing were collected using an infrared three-dimensional(3D)motion capture system before and after training.Results Both strength training and flexibility training could significantly improve the gait speed(P=0.033),stride length(P=0.020)and toe distance(P=0.014)during 25 cm obstacle crossing.The interactive effect of training and time was significant for the crossing height(15 cm:P=0.025;25 cm:P=0.019).The interactive effect of training and time was significant for the margin of stability(MOS)in the internal-external direction during 25 cm obstacle crossing(P<0.05).The minimum MOS in the first single support period(P=0.046)and the MOS at the time when the toe crossed directly above the obstacle(P=0.043)in strength training group were significantly increased.Conclusions Both strength training and flexibility training can improve the spatiotemporal characteristics of the elderly women during obstacle crossing.Compared with flexibility,muscle strength is the most important reason that restricts the crossing height of the elderly women.Strength training can effectively reduce the risk of tripping over obstacles by improving the crossing height and dynamic stability of elderly women.

Objective:This study aimed to propose an innovative modular surgical technique and explore its safety and application value in laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with spleen-preserving hilar lymphadenectomy for advanced proximal gastric cancer invading the greater curvature.Methods:A retrospective collection was conducted on 34 patients with proximal gastric cancer invading the greater curvature who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with spleen-preserving hilar lymphadenectomy in the same center from October 2020 to December 2022. The technical key points, precautions and crucial steps of the modular surgical technique were summarized, and the Clinical indicators were analyzed.Results:All 34 patients successfully completed the operation under laparoscopy without conversion to open surgery. The average operation duration was 151.9±4.1 minutes, and the duration of splenic hilar lymphadenectomy was 12.9±1.5 minutes. The median intraoperative blood loss was 50(20, 50) ml, and the blood loss during splenic hilar lymphadenectomy was 5 (2, 5) ml. The median number of harvested lymph nodes was 32.0 (23.5,39.5), and the number of submitted No.10 lymph nodes was 3 (2, 4). The metastasis rate of No.10 lymph nodes was 20.6% (7/34). No patient had intraoperative complications. During the postoperative hospital stay, one patient had incision infection (Clavien-Dindo I), and one patient had pulmonary infection (Clavien-Dindo II). The time for the first postoperative feeding was 3 (2, 5) days, the time for the first postoperative flatus was 2 (2,3) days, the time for the first postoperative defecation was 3 (3, 4) days, the total postoperative drainage volume was 1047.5 (607.5,1397.5) mL, the time for postoperative drainage tube removal was 7 (6, 9) days, and the length of postoperative hospital stay was 7.0 (6.0, 9.5) days.Conclusions:The application of the innovative modular surgical technique in laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with spleen-preserving hilar lymphadenectomy can simplify surgical process and enable safe, precise and comprehensive dissection of splenic hilar lymph nodes.
