Objective:To analyze the short-term efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy（RAPN）for non-metastatic pathological stage T 3a renal cell carcinoma. Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 45 patients with pathologically confirmed non-metastatic T 3a renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2016 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 30 males and 15 females. The average age of the cohort was（54.3±10.7）years，and the average clinical tumor diameter was（4.9±1.8）cm. Of all the patients，35（77.8%）were asymptomatic，7（15.6%）presented with hematuria，and 3（6.7%）presented with lumbar pain. Preoperative imaging assessed 34 patients（75.6%）as having clinical stage T 3a，all suspected of involving the collecting system or perirenal fat invasion；the remaining 11 patients（24.4%）were assessed as having stage T 1-2 disease. The median R.E.N.A.L. nephrectomy score was 8.0（7.0，10.0）. A history of hypertension，diabetes，or chronic kidney disease was present in 18 patients（40.0%）. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival，and the secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and short-term renal function outcomes. Survival curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method，and renal function comparisons were made using the paired t-test. Results:The RAPN was performed through a transabdominal approach in 32 patients（71.1%），with a median estimated blood loss of 150.0（50.0，300.0）ml. Seven（15.6%）patients required intraoperative blood transfusion. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.0（4.0，6.0）days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients（13.3%），including 5（11.1%）with mild complications and 1（2.2%）with a severe complication. Renal function returned to baseline in 24 of 39 evaluable patients（61.5%），while 3 patients（7.7%）developed surgery-related chronic kidney disease 3 to 12 months postoperatively，but none required dialysis. The median follow-up time was 31.8（22.7，50.9）months，12（26.7%）patients received programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor adjuvant therapy postoperatively. During follow-up，3 patients experienced tumor recurrence，the 3-year progression-free survival rate of the entire cohort was 95.4%.Conclusions:For some carefully selected patients with T 3a renal cell carcinoma，RAPN performed by experienced surgeons is a feasible and safe option，providing excellent short-term oncological outcomes，complication control，and renal function recovery. The long-term efficacy remains to be seen.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality of oral and pharyngeal cancer in can-cer registration areas of Hunan Province in 2021 and the trend changes from 2012 to 2021.[Methods]Data on oral and pharyngeal cancer incidence and mortality from 2012 to 2021 were collected from 78 quality-controlled cancer registries in Hunan Province,with population data sourced from household registration statistics provided by public security authorities.Indicators such as crude incidence and mortality rates,age-standardized incidence and mortality rates by Chinese standard population(ASIRC/ASMRC),and world standard population(ASIRW,ASMRW)in 2021 were calculated.The Chinese standard population(2000 national census)and Segi's world standard population were used for standardization.Joinpoint Regression Program 4.9.0.0 software was used to fit a Log-linear regression model,and the average annual percentage change(AAPC)of ASIRC/ASMRC of oral and pharyngeal cancer from 2012 to 2021 was calculated to analyze the changing trends.[Results]In 2021,the crude incidence rate of oral and pharyngeal cancer in cancer registration areas of Hunan Province was 9.28/105(15.14/105 for males and 3.07/105 for fe-males),with an ASIRC of 6.10/105;the crude mortality rate was 3.75/105(6.19/105 for males and 1.16/105 for females),with an ASMRC of 2.16/105.Both the incidence and mortality rates in male were significantly higher than those in female.Age distribution analysis showed that the incidence rate of oral and pharyngeal cancer increased with age after 30 years old,peaking in the age group of 60～64 years old(22.29/105);the mortality rate continued to rise after 35 years old,reaching the peak in the population aged ≥85 years old(14.52/105).Trend analysis from 2012 to 2021 indicated that the crude incidence rate and ASIRC of oral and pharyngeal cancer increased from 3.50/105 and 2.63/105 in 2012 to 9.28/105 and 6.10/105 in 2021,with AAPC of 12.33％and 10.80％,re-spectively;the crude mortality rate and ASMRC also showed upward trends(AAPC of 9.87％and 7.21％,respectively);all trend changes were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Sex stratification revealed that the AAPC of ASIRC and ASMRC of oral and pharyngeal cancer in male were higher than those in female(AAPC of ASIRC:12.65％for males vs 4.28％for females;AAPC of ASMRC:8.79％for males vs 4.13％for females).Age-specific trend analysis found that the ASIRC of oral and pharyngeal cancer in the population aged ≤ 44 years old showed an upward trend(AAPC=11.73％,P＜0.001),with the AAPC of male in this group reaching 14.57％;the AAPC of ASIRC for the age groups of 45～64 years old and ≥65 years old were 11.03％and 9.74％,respectively,and the AAPC of ASMRC for these two groups were 10.05％and 8.19％,respectively,with all trend changes being statistically significant(all P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant change in the ASMRC of the population aged ≤44 years old(AAPC=5.66％,P=0.087).[Conclusion]The incidence and mortality rates of oral and pharyngeal cancer in cancer registration areas of Hunan Province remain high and show an upward trend,with a tendency of younger onset.Males and middle-aged and elderly populations are the key focuses of prevention and control.

To investigate the pharmacological activities and potential mechanisms of action of the active components in Artemisia argyi with artificial intelligence technology, a search was conducted in the HIT, TCMSP, and TCMIO databases, obtaining 199 active components of A. argyi. A comprehensive set of algorithms, including KNN, MLP, RF, SVM, and models based on Lipinski’s and Veber’s rules, was employed to predict the toxicity and oral bioavailability of A. argyi compounds, identifying 14 components that are non-toxic and have good oral bioavailability. The synthetic accessibility score (SAscore) model was used to analyze the synthetic accessibility of the 14 components mentioned above, and molecular segments were fragmented using BRICS and RECAP algorithms. Mining of the STP and PM databases yielded 406 target proteins for the core components of A. argyi, and Cytoscape was used to screen out 5 core targets: SRC, EGFR, PTPN11, HRAS, and PDGFRB. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that the core targets were involved in 808 GO enrichment analysis entries and 71 signaling pathways, including EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, gap junction, phospholipase D, and JAK/STAT. Molecular docking results showed that active compounds of A. argyi have a good binding affinity with proteins SRC, EGFR, PTPN11, and HRAS. Cellular experiments have confirmed that ledol, an active component of A. argyi, can promote the proliferation of HUVEC cells within a certain concentration range and can increase the expression of EGFR protein. This study reveals the pharmacological characteristics and potential molecular mechanisms of the active components of A. argyi and lays a solid scientific foundation for its medicinal development.

Objectives:To analyze the factors relative to the short-term preservation of ipsilateral renal function after partial nephrectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 83 patients who were treated with partial nephrectomy from December 2014 to December 2019 in the Department of Urology, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were retrospectively analyzed. There were 54 males and 29 females, aging ( M (IQR)) 49 (17) years (range: 27 to 74 years). The ischemia time in operation was 25 (18) minutes (range: 10 to 67 minutes). Emission computed tomography scan and CT scan were performed before (within 1 month) and after (3 to 12 months) surgery. The volume of the ipsilateral and contralateral kidney was measured on the basis of preoperative and postoperative CT scans. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) specifically in each kidney was estimated by emission computed tomography. Recovery from ischemia is determined by the formula: GFR preservation/volume saved×100%. Linear regression was used to explore the factors ralative to the short-term preservation of ipsilateral renal function after partial nephrectomy. Results:The GFR preservation of the ipsilateral kidney was 80.9 (25.2) % (range: 31.0% to 109.4%). The volume loss of the kidney resulted in a decrease of 12.0% (5.8 ml/(min×1.96 m 2)) of GFR, while the ischemic injury resulted in a decrease of 6.5% (2.5 ml/(min×1.96 m 2)) of GFR. The volume saved from the ipsilateral kidney was 87.1 (12.9) % (range: 27.0% to 131.7%). Recovery from ischemia was 93.5 (17.5) % (range:44.3% to 178.3%). In multivariate analysis, GFR preservation of the ipsilateral kidney was significantly correlated with the volume saved of the ipsilateral kidney ( β=0.383, 95% CI: 0.144 to 0.622, P=0.002). It was not related to the ischemia time ( β=0.046, 95% CI:-0.383 to 0.475, P=0.831). Conclusion:In the condition of limited ischemic time, in the short term ipsilateral renal function after partial nephrectomy is mainly determined by the loss of kidney volume, while ischemic injury only plays a minor role.

Objective:To analyze the effect of target-oriented treatment based on nutrition-oriented information software on nutritional standards of adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).Methods:Adult patients with sTBI admitted to the department of emergency intensive care unit (EICU) of Huzhou First People's Hospital were enrolled. Taking the online time of information software as the node on March 1st 2019, the patients who underwent early standardized enteral nutrition (EN) process from March 1st 2018 to February 28th 2019 were taken as the control group. The patients who received nutrition management by the nutritional support management system software for critical patients from March 1st 2019 to February 29th 2020 were used as the experimental group. The software was integrated with critical information system software. The effects of nutritional support in two groups were evaluated, including starting time of EN; total energy supply, total protein supply, energy compliance rate on 7 days and 14 days; the total albumin. And the related indicators of critical illness management were evaluated, including the survival rate of intensive care unit (ICU) at 28 days, duration of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), successful rates of weaning from IMV, rapid shallow breath index (RSBI) after spontaneous breathing test (SBT), serum cholinesterase on 7 days and 14 days, etc.Results:Fifty-one patients with sTBI were included in the analysis, 28 in the control group and 23 in the experimental group. There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups, such as gender, age, body mass index (BMI), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, nutritional risk score (NUTRIC), etc., which were comparable. Compared with the control group, the starting time of EN in experimental group was significantly earlier (hours: 26.82±8.33 vs. 36.73±12.86, P = 0.046). The total protein supply on 7 days and 14 days [g·kg -1·d -1: 1.87 (1.36, 1.92) vs. 1.02 (0.87, 1.67), 2.63 (1.49, 1.92) vs. 1.23 (0.89, 1.92), both P < 0.05], the total energy supply on 14 days (kJ·kg -1·d -1: 154.26±68.16 vs. 117.99±112.42, P = 0.033), the energy compliance rate on 14 days [80.0% (16/20) vs. 35.7% (10/28), P = 0.002], and the serum cholinesterase on 14 days [U/L: 5 792.5 (4 621.0, 8 131.0) vs. 4 689.7 (3 639.0, 7 892.0), P = 0.048] in experimental group were significantly increased. There were no significant differences in other indicators between the two groups [total energy supply on 7 days (kJ·kg -1·d -1): 91.50±30.50 vs. 92.88±28.16, P = 0.184; energy compliance rate on 7 days: 34.7% (8/23) vs. 21.4% (6/28), P = 0.288; total albumin (g): 97.80±46.29 vs. 114.29±52.68, P = 0.086; 28-day survival rate of ICU: 87.0% vs. 78.6%, P = 0.081; duration of IMV (days): 14.33±7.68 vs. 15.68±6.82, P = 0.074; successful rates of weaning from IMV: 69.6% vs. 67.9%, P = 0.895; RSBI after SBT (breaths·min -1·L -1): 26.84±10.69 vs. 33.68±8.94, P = 0.052; serum cholinesterase on 7 days (U/L): 4 289.7 (2 868.0, 7 291.0) vs. 3 762.2 (2 434.0, 6 892.0), P = 0.078]. Conclusion:The development and clinical application of nutrition support information software is helpful for the standardized implementation of the nutritional support treatment process for adult patients with sTBI, which is worthy of further clinical research and promotion.

Objective:To investigate the disinfection effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) disodium salt solution on enterococcus faecalis in lateral root canals.Methods:Sixty-four human single root canal premolars were selected to prepare artificial root canal collaterals, and E. faecalisin root canal collateral infection models were established. The infection model was divided into PDT group ( n=16), PDT combined with EDTA group ( n=16), positive control group ( n=16) and negative control group ( n=16) according to random number table method. In the PDT group, 40 μg/ml hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether was injected into the root canal, and then the root canal was irradiated with a 45 mW laser for 90 s after 5 min incubation. In the PDT combined with EDTA group, the root canal was given 5 ml EDTA solution with 17% mass fraction for 1 min, and then treated with the method same as the PDT group. In the positive control group, the root canal were given 5 ml NaClO solution with a mass fraction of 5.25 % for 1 min. In the negative control group, the root canal were given NaCl solution with a mass concentration of 9 g/L for 1 min. Before and after the treatments, samples were taken in the lateral branches of the root canal with a K file to count plate colonies. After treatments, the roots of each group were placed in sterile brain heart infusion broth (BHI) medium for anaerobic culture for 24 h, and then sampled with a K file, and the number of root canal collaterals was detected statistically. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of the inner wall of lateral branches of root canals after treatments. Results:The sterilization rate of PDT combined with EDTA group was 99.56%, which was significantly higher than that of negative control group (1.98%), positive control group (85.87%) and PDT group (87.53%), the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The reply experiment shows that the number of infection root canals was only 5, which was less than the negative control group (15), positive control group (12) and PDT group (11), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Scanning electron microscopy observations showed that no obvious E. faecalis adhered to the inner wall of root canal of PDT combined with EDTA group. Conclusions:PDT combined with EDTA has a good disinfection effectiveness on E. faecalis in lateral canals, and it is expected to provide a new method for the effective killing of E. faecalis in lateral canals in clinical root canal therapy.

Objective To analyze the influence of a dental caries phototherapy device using neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser on the temperature of tooth pulp chamber of different sites and morphologies under different irradiation duration and power. Methods Fifty intact isolated teeth were collected and randomly divided into middle incisor group, upper right first premolar group, upper right second molar group, upper left first premolar group, and upper left second molar group. Each experimental group was irradiated according to the laser power 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0 W, and the irradiation duration 30, 60, 90 s. The temperature rise of the pulp chamber was recorded with a thermocouple thermometer. Results After the laser irradiation, the temperature of the tooth pulp chamber increased, and the temperature rise was less than 5.5℃, i.e. the threshold leading to the dental pulp necrosis. Conclusions The use of laser to prevent dental caries will increase the temperature of the tooth pulp chamber, but the temperature rise in the range of 5.5 ° C is relatively safe and will not cause irreversible damage to the pulp tissue.
