Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of transendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) lithotripsy with that of traditional surgical procedures in the treatment of pancreatic ductal stones.Methods:The clinical data of 47 patients with chronic pancreatitis combined with pancreatic duct stones hospitalized in Yueyang Hospital affiliated to Hunan Normal University and Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between November 2017 and November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were divided into ERCP group ( n=19), laparoscopic group ( n=10) and open abdominal group ( n=18) according to the mode of surgical treatment for pancreatic stone, and the general clinical characteristics, the surgical and postoperative recovery indicators, pain level grading, one-stage stone removal rate, complication rate and evaluation of pancreatic function were compared among the three groups. Results:The age, gender, body mass index, etiology, duration of disease, symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea), stone location, stone size, preoperative tumor markers (CEA, AFP, CA19-9) and serum inflammatory factor (CRP) level were not statistically significant among three groups. In ERCP group, the operation time (1.47±0.51) h, the time of the first postoperative intestinal ventilation (1.16±0.20) days, the time of drainage removal (8.68±3.30) days, the length of hospitalization (11.37±4.59) days and intraoperative blood loss (109.5±16.5) ml, the CRP on the first postoperative day (11.24±2.62) mg/L, and the treatment cost (35 238±10 663) were obviously shorter or lower than those of laparoscopic and open abdominal group; in the laparoscopic group, the time to first postoperative bowel ventilation (2.40±0.70) days, drainage removal time (12.10±5.36) days and intraoperative blood loss (195.0±83.2) ml, postoperative CRP on day one (14.52±3.62) mg/L, and the treatment cost (69 908±11 310) were greatly shorter or lower than those in open abdominal group; and all the differences were statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Those with moderate and severe pain in ERCP group (10.53%) were lower than those in laparoscopic group (70.00%) and open abdominal group (83.38%), and the difference was statistically significant (all P value <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between ERCP group and laparoscopic and open abdominal group in terms of phase I stone removal rate, complication rate, and postoperative glycated haemoglobin level, but patients' weight loss (26.32%) and incidence of diarrhea (21.05%) were lower than those of laparoscopic and open abdominal group, and all the difference was statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Conclusions:ERCP lithotripsy is an effective, safe, minimally invasive and economical treatment for pancreatic duct stone and is suitable for most patients with pancreatic duct stone, but patients with embedded or complex pancreatic duct stones should be treated with laparoscopic or open abdominal surgery according to the actual situation.

Anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)injury is caused by strong violence,which can destabilize the knee joint,cause joint cartilage degeneration,meniscus injury,and in severe cases,develop osteoarthropathy.The gold standard for the treatment of ACLR injuries at this stage is arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament recon-struction(ACLR).In clinical practice,the LARS(Ligament advanced reinforcement system)artificial ligament made of polyethylene terephthalate(PET)as the material has a good effect in the short and medium term,but the long-term biological healing between the graft and the host bone is poor,and the real"ligamentization"requirement of the postoperative graft cannot be met.Coating-modified modification of artificial ligaments can improve their hydrophilicity and biocompatibility,which in turn can promote the healing of graft-bone tunnels.Tendon bone healing is a bone-derived progressive process from indirect insertion to direct insertion,which takes a relatively long time and is closely related to the prognosis and early rehabilitation effect of patients.This article reviews the progress of superficial modification of artificial ligaments to promote ACLR tendon bone healing.

Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.

Objective:Delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning(DEACMP)is the most severe complication of carbon monoxide poisoning,which seriously endangers patients'quality of life.This study aims to investigate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO2)on improving dementia symptoms in patients with DEACMP. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on DEACMP patients,who visited Xiangya Hospital,Central South University from June 2014 to June 2020.Among them,patients who received conventional drug treatment combined with HBO2 treatment were included in an HBO2 group,while those who only received conventional drug treatment were included in a control group.HBO2 was administered once daily.Patients in the HBO2 group received 6 courses of treatment,with each course consisting of 10 sessions.The Hasegawa Dementia Scale(HDS)was used to diagnose dementia,and the Clinical Dementia Rating(CDR)was used to grade the severity of dementia for DEACMP.The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Section(ADAS-Cog),the Functional Activities Questionnaire(FAQ),the Neuropsychiatric Inventory(NPI),and the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change-Plus Caregiver Input(CIBIC-Plus)were performed to assess cognitive function,ability to perform activities of daily living(ADL),behavioral and psychological symptoms,and overall function.The study further analyzed the results of objective examinations related to patients'dementia symptoms,including magnetic resonance imaging detection of white matter lesions and abnormal electroencephalogram(EEG).The changes of the above indicators before and after treatment,as well as the differences between the 2 groups after treatment were compared. Results:There was no significant difference in the HDS score and CDR grading between the 2 groups before treatment(both P＞0.05).After treatment,the score of ADAS-Cog,FAQ,NPI,and CIBIC Plus grading of the 2 groups were significantly improved,and the improvement of the above indicators in the HBO2 group was greater than that in the control group(all P＜0.05).The effective rate of the HBO2 group in treating DEACMP was significantly higher than that of the control group(89.47% vs 65.87%,P＜0.05).The objective examination results(white matter lesions and abnormal EEG)showed that the recovery of patients in the HBO2 group was better than that in the control group. Conclusion:Hyperbaric oxygen can significantly relieve the symptoms of dementia in patients with DEACMP.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features of gonadal neoplastic related lesions in children with disorders of sexual development (DsD).Methods:The clinical manifestations, chromosomal karyotype, histology and immunophenotype of 12 cases of neoplastic related lesions from Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center, Guangzhou were analyzed during Jan 2015 to May 2020.Results:Twelve cases of neoplastic related lesions were screened in 205 cases of DsD, and 6 patients with gonadal germ cell neoplasia aged 3-13 years with an average age of 8.3 years. There were 2 males and 4 females. Clinical features showed malformation of external genitalia in 2 cases, short stature in 2 cases, clitoral enlargement in 1 case, lower abdominal pain and a huge pelvic mass in 1 case. Chromosomal karyotyping of peripheral blood showed 2 cases of 46XY and 4 cases of 45X/46XY. Fourteen gonadal specimens were examined. Microscopically, 1 case showed dysgerminoma in left ovary, and malignant mixed germ cell tumors in right ovary, as well as gonadoblastoma (GB) and undifferentiated gonadal tissue (UGT). The remaining 5 cases were all precursor lesions of germ cell tumor. Six specimens showed GB, 3 of UGT, and 3 specimens showed germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS), one of which was accompanied by intratubular seminoma and 1 was GB with GCNIS. The other 6 patients with DsD were aged from 8 months to 2 years and 5 months, including 5 males and 1 females. Clinical manifestations showed 5 cases of hypospadias and 1 case of bilateral indirect inguinal hernia. Microscopically, 6 cases showed maturation delay of gonocytes in seminiferous tubules. Immunohistochemically, the primordial germ cells/gonocytes expressed OCT3/4, PLAP and c-KIT in the 12 cases.Conclusion:Gonadal neoplasia in children with DsD is mainly precursor lesions of germ cell tumor and improved understanding of these lesions is of great significance.

Objective: To explore the application effect of mixed reality technology in the teaching of hepatobiliary surgery. Methods: A total of 120 professional postgraduates majored in surgery who had received the four-month standardized training of residents in hepatobiliary surgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University during 2016-2018 were selected and were equally allocated into the control group and the research group via random number table method. Students in the control group were trained with traditional surgical teaching mode and in the research group were trained with three-dimensional visualization model which was constructed by mixed reality. Students in both groups received assessment and questionnaires at the end of training. Results: Scores of theoretical examination and surgical operation assessment of students in the research group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The error rate for separating gallbladder artery and bile duct in the laparoscopic simulated system of students in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Students-teacher satisfaction degree in the research group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Using mixed reality technology to construct a three-dimensional visualization model and to implement hepatobiliary surgery teaching enables the trainees to better master anatomical key points in the hepatobiliary system and the hepatobiliary surgical approach, with good feedback.

Objective To evaluate the mid-to-long term therapeutic effect of endoscopic pneumatic dilation for achalasia of cardia (AC).Methods Endoscopic pneumatic dilation was used in 45 AC patients, with follow-up of 2-12 years. Eckardt score and Stooler grading were used before and after the operation for evaluation of curative effect of dilation. Results The operation success rate was 97. 8%( 44/45) and the effective remission rate was 93. 2%( 41/44 ). No massive hemorrhage, perforation or other serious complications occurred.The longest follow-up time was up to 144 months.Ten cases were followed up for over 60 months. Patients′symptoms relieved significantly (P＜0. 01). Eckardt scores in 24 months and 60 months after operation significantly decreased compared with those before the operation ( P＜0. 01). But Eckardt score in 60 months was higher than that in 24 months ( P＜0. 01). The length of the disease history was positively related to post-operative scores, and negatively related to efficacy ( P＜0. 01). Conclusion Endoscopic balloon dilation is a satisfactory therapy to AC with good efficacy and safety.

Objective: To investigate the pathologic features of gonadal tissues of disorders of sexual development (DSD) in children. Methods: Fifty-three cases of gonadal developmental disorders were collected from July 2015 to August 2017 at Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center. Clinical manifestations, karyotypes, sex hormone levels, ultrasound imaging, histology and immunophenotype of gonadal tissues were analyzed. Results: The age of patients ranged from 7 months to 17 years with an average of (50.7 ± 47.1) months. Social genders of the patients included 32 males and 21 females. Forty-eight patients had abnormal sex hormone levels. Clinical presentations included: toward female genitalia in 25 cases, male genitalia tendency in 17 cases and ambiguous external genitalia in 11 cases. Hypospadias was seen in 31 cases and short stature was seen in 8 cases. Chromosomal karyotyping of peripheral blood revealed 23 cases of sex chromosome disorders, 22 cases of 46 XY disorders, of which 3 cases were 5α-reductase deficiency and 8 cases of 46 XX disorders. Ultrasound examination showed cryptorchidism in 30 cases, including 16 cases of unilateral, 14 cases of bilateral and 1 case presenting a huge pelvic tumor. A total of 97 gonadal tissues from 53 cases of DSD were examined, including 9 cases of unilateral and 44 cases of bilateral gonads. Microscopically, 55 gonads (56.7%) showed dysplastic testes including 17 unilateral and 19 bilateral gonads. Fourteen were streak gonads (14.4%) including 8 unilateral and 3 bilateral gonadal tissues. Nine streak gonad with epithelial cord-like structures (9.3%) were found, of which 5 were unilateral and 2 were bilateral lesions. Seven gonads were ovotestis (7.2%), unilateral in 5 cases (the other side of the gonads of ovary in 4 cases, 1 case of dysplastic testes) and bilateral in 1 case. Seven gonads showed follicular-rich ovarian tissue (7.2%). One case showed bilateral dysplastic testes with gonadoblastoma and ectopic adrenal cortex. One case of streak gonad showed epithelial cord-like structures and undifferentiated glandular tissue embedded in malignant mixed germ cell tumors (mixed gonadoblastoma, dysgerminoma, mature teratoma and yolk sac tumor). One case had testicular microlithiasis. Uterus and fallopian tube structures were found in 11 cases. Immunohistochemical stains were performed in 15 cases. D2-40, PLAP and CKIT were expressed in germ cells and Calretinin, WT1 and inhibin were positive in Setoli cells. SALL4 and OCT3/4 were positive in 3 cases. Inhibin highlighted interstitial Leydig cells in 2 cases. GPC3 was positive in yolk sac tumor component. Conclusions Gonadal dysgenesis presents a broad spectrum of gonadal phenotypes with variable degrees of differentiation. The development of bilateral gonadal tissues has certain variability. Chromosomal karyotypes have no correlation with gonadal phenotypes. Accurate histopathologic diagnosis of gonadal dysgenesis plays an important role in the treatment and prognosis of the patient.

Objective To promote the application of the best evidence for supportive care in the management of depression in patients with head and neck cancer, and to improve the quality of clinical care.Methods Follow the three stages of clinical evidence practice of Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI): baseline review, practice change and effect evaluation, the best evidence of supportive nursing in depression management for head and neck cancer patients were retrieved, and 4 quality review indicators were developed. A total of 50 hospitalized head and neck cancer patients and 12 nurses were selected to collect data by means of field observation, interviews and nursing records. The obstacles to the application of evidence were analyzed and a practical scheme was worked out.Results The nurse's implementation rate of the four review indicators increased from 0-90％ at the baseline review to 90％-100％ after the evidence was applied. Except for Indicator 3 "Indicators nurses introduced the pressure on patients and their families to face cancer", the implementation rates of the other three indicators were significantly improved (P<0.01). After the application of evidence, the incidence of depression was decreased (P<0.05). The score of Relaxation, Sleep and Fatigue Management Knowledge Questionnaire was (18.20±14.09) before the application of evidence, which was lower than that after the application of evidence (80.60±12.84), and the difference was statistically significant (t=-23.14, P<0.01). The nurses' score of Supportive Nursing Knowledge Questionnaire before the application of evidence was (63.83±10.78), which was lower than that after the application of evidence (95.5±3.18), and the difference was statistically significant (t=-9.76,P<0.01).Conclusions The evidence-based application program can standardize nurses' supportive nursing behaviors for patients with depressive symptoms, reduce the severity of depression, improve the self-support knowledge level, and improve the quality of depression management in hospitalized patients with head and neck cancer.
