Objective:To explore the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and β-catenin in skin lesions of condyloma acuminatum, and analyze their relationship with clinical prognosis.Methods:A prospective study was conducted to select 96 patients with condyloma acuminatum admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2020 to June 2023 as the case group. Another 96 normal tissue samples from patients who underwent external genital plastic surgery or circumcision at the same time in the hospital were taken as the control group. All patients in the case group received 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) treatment, and the outcome was achieved at 6 months after follow-up. The case group was divided into recurrent subgroups and non- recurrent subgroups based on whether there was a recurrence. The expression of NF-κB and β-catenin in patients with different prognoses between the case group and the control group were compared. The Phi coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between NF-κB, β-catenin, and condyloma acuminatum. COX regression analysis were used to test the relationship between NF-κB, β-catenin and recurrence, and then receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of NF-κB, β-catenin for recurrence in patients with condyloma acuminatum.Results:The positive rates of NF-κB and β-catenin in the lesion tissues of the case group were higher than those in the control group: 55.21%(53/96) vs. 23.96%(23/96), 56.25%(54/96) vs. 36.46%(35/96), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). According to the Phi coefficient test, there was a positive correlation between NF-κB and β-catenin positivity and condyloma acuminatum ( r>0, P<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, 35 of the 96 patients relapsed, with a recurrence rate of 36.46% (35/96). The positive rates of NF-κB and β-catenin in the recurrent subgroup were significantly higher than those in the non-recurrent subgroup: 85.71%(30/35) vs. 37.70%(23/61), 85.71%(30/35) vs. 39.34%(24/61), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that the positive expression of NF-κB and β-catenin was related to the recurrence of patients with condyloma acuminatum after treatment ( HR = 4.017, 3.898, 95% CI 1.516 - 10.646, 1.470 - 10.336, P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that NF-κB, β-catenin, and their combination had moderate predictive value for recurrence in patients with condyloma acuminatum after treatment. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.740 and 0.732, respectively. Among them, the combined predictive value was the highest, with an AUC of 0.810 ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The positive rates of NF-κB and β-catenin in the skin lesions of patients with condyloma acuminatum are relatively high, and they have certain predictive value for the recurrence of patients after treatment.

Objective:To investigate the impact of early invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP) monitoring on survival and neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed 44 OHCA patients receiving ECPR between January 2021 and January 2023. Patients were divided into: Early intervention group : IBP established within 3 min of ECMO initiation; Late intervention group : IBP established after ICU admission. Baseline characteristics, ECMO parameters, and clinical outcomes were compared. Multivariable logistic regression (adjusted for age, initial rhythm, etc.) and Spearman's correlation were used.Results:This study included a total of 44 patients treated with OHCA and ECPR, divided into an early intervention group of 23 cases and a late intervention group of 21 cases. The early intervention group showed significantly higher: Survival to discharge (43.5% vs. 9.5%, P<0.05), Good neurological recovery (CPC 1-2: 34.8% vs. 9.5%, P<0.05).Early intervention independently predicted survival (adjusted OR=18.84, 95% CI:1.97-179.98, P=0.01). Stratified analysis by pH (cutoff 7.0) demonstrated consistent benefits in both pH>7.0 ( aOR=0.392, 95% CI:0.106-0.678) and pH≤7.0 subgroups ( aOR=0.385, 95% CI: 0.075-0.695; interaction P=0.183). Early IBP positively correlated with CPC scores ( ρ=0.40, P=0.007). Conclusions:Early IBP monitoring significantly improves survival and neurological outcomes in OHCA-ECPR patients, supporting its integration into standardized protocols.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy,safety and feasibility of regional lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical surgery for bladder cancer under the guidance of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging. Methods: A total of 30 patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (T2/T3NxM0) who volunteered to enter the clinical trial were randomly divided into the indocyanine green imaging guided laparoscopic regional lymph node dissection group (n=15) and the standard pelvic lymph node dissection group (n=15).The number of positive lymph nodes,operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,incidence of lymph leakage,and tumor recurrence and metastasis rate 2-year after surgery were collected. Results: The number of positive lymph nodes was (4.20±1.66) and (4.60±1.72) respectively in the indocyanine green and standard groups,with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).There were no statistically significant difference in the tumor recurrence and metastasis rates 2-year after surgery between the two groups (P>0.05).However,the indocyanine green group had shorter operation time,less intraoperative bleeding volume,and lower incidence of lymphatic leakage than the standard group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node dissection has comparable clinical efficacy to standard lymph node dissection,but with fewer complications.

Objective:
To explore the feasibility and advantages of totally laparoscopic radical cystectomy plus ρshape orthotopic ileal neobladder, and to summarize the experiences.
Methods:
The clinical data of 11 patients with bladder cancer admitted to the second hospital of Hebei medical university from October 2018 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were male, aged 33 to 77 years, with an average of 64.4 years. Body mass index ranged from 18.0 to 31.8 kg/m2, with an average of 23.2 kg/m2. One case underwent partial cystectomy and 10 cases underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor, with 10 cases of invasive urothelial carcinoma and 1 case of adenocarcinoma. No case underwent neoadjuvant therapy, and all cases were clinically staged as cT2a-3bN0-2M0. Totally laparoscopic radical cystectomy and ρ shape orthotopic ileal neobladder intraperitonealy were performed. The specific procedures were described as follows. After bladder resection, the ileal segment of 55 cm in length was intercepted at 25 cm from ileocecal valve, with the proximal part retaining 15 cm lumen as the input loop, and the distal part of 40 cm ileum being folded in 1∶1 ratio. The folded intestinal segment was made into a allantoic sac by using a linear incision closure device, forming a "ρ" shape with the input loop, bilateral ureters and the input loop. Anastomosis of wall, distal end of allantoic and urethra was performed.Record the perioperative data such as operation time, estimated bleeding, postoperative recovery, complications, and follow-up results.
Result:
All of the 11 cases underwent successfully operation, and no cases were transferred to open surgery. The operation time ranged from 320 to 440 minutes, with an average of 357.1 minutes. The estimated amount of bleeding ranged from 100 to 300 ml, with an average of 207.1 ml. The total time of intestinal tract procedure was 80-100 minutes, with an average of 89.3 minutes, and the time of allantoic preparation was 14-19 minutes, with an average of 16.1 minutes. The pain score was 2-5 points at 4 hours after operation, with an average of 3.8 points, and 1-4 points at 24 hours after operation, with an average of 2.3 points. Postoperative exhaust time ranged from 2.5 to 3.5 days, with an average of 3.0 days.Catheter removed 21 days after operation, with 9 cases of urinary incontinence, including mild in 6 cases, moderate in 2 cases and severe in 1 case, with daytime pad of 0-3 and nighttime pad of 1-3.which improved gradually following pelvic exercise for 4-18 weeks. Postoperative hospital stay ranged from 7 to 13 days, with an average of 10.4 days. The drainage removal time was 4-11 days, with an average of 6.7 days. Postoperative pathology revealed 7 cases of high-grade invasive urothelial carcinoma, 3 case of low-grade invasive urothelial carcinoma and 1 case of adenocarcinoma. The tumors invade the prostate in adenocarcinoma patient, with left (3/13) and right (1/9) positive lymph nodes. One case of high-grade invasive urothelial carcinoma had both left (2/11) and right (1/9) positive lymph nodes, and the other cases were negative. The margin were negative in all patients. Pathological staging was pT2a-4aN0-2M0. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine+ cisplatin regimen were performed in 9 patients.The follow-up period ranged from 3 to 29 weeks, with an average of 17.4 weeks, the patients with adenocarcinoma died of multiple organ failure at the 13th week after operation, and the other cases have no recurrence or metastasis. Dual J-tube was removed in 9 cases in the last follow-up, and the new bladder volume was estimated 300-350 ml, with residual urine of 0-43 ml and 19 ml of average. There is no stone formation in the new bladder.No hydronephrosis or ureteral dilatation aggravated.
Conclusions
Totally laparoscopic radical cystectomy plus ρ shape orthotopic ileal neobladder simplify the procedure of making allantoic storage and shorten the procedure time. The patients suffered less pain and recovered quickly after operation.It is a safe and feasible surgical procedure based on this study.
