Objective:To investigate the value of pelvic floor reconstruction with gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap in second-stage surgery for patients with failed perineal wound healing after pelvic exenteration (PE).Methods:This was a descriptive case series study. The clinical data of 24 patients with locally advanced (LARC) or recurrent (LRRC) rectal cancer who underwent PE and had long-term nonunion of postoperative perineal wounds were collected from the department of colorectal surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Navy Medical University (Shanghai Changzheng Hospital) from January 2022 to January 2023. The specific operation methods of pelvic reconstruction by gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap are as follows: the necrotic tissue of the perineal wound was debrided and rinsed repeatedly, the gluteus maximus muscle was cut and separated from the gluteus superior and inferior arteries, the middle muscle pedicle was retained, part of the skin and muscle were separated from the medial margin, part of the epidermis was removed, the muscle and subcutaneous tissue at the medial margin of the flap were fixed to the medial edge of the wound, negative pressure suction tubes were placed above and below the wound cavity and in the muscle space on the right side, and the subcutaneous muscle and fat layer were sutured. The skin was sutured intersegmentally, and a negative pressure suction device was placed on the wound surface. After surgery, the patient should remain prone, and the drainage tube should be placed for at least 7 days. The drainage tube can be removed after 24-hour drainage is less than 30 ml. Perineal wound healing and complications related to gluteal major myocutaneous flap were observed.Result:The median reconstruction time of 24 patients was 180 (150 ~ 230) minutes, and the median intraoperative blood loss was 100 (30 ~ 200) ml. 91.7% (22/24) patients had successful healing of perineal wound within 30 d after operation. After a follow-up of 6 months, no complete or partial flap necrosis occurred. The incidence of complications related to gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap was 8.3% (2/24). One patient had flap infection and sinus tract, and one patient had flap sinus tract. All patients healed after debridement under local anesthesia.Conclusion:For LARC/LRRC patients with poor perineal wound healing after PE, pelvic floor reconstruction with gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap in second-stage operation is safe and feasible, and could successfully close the perineal wound, and has a low incidence of postoperative flap-related complications.

Occupational pneumoconiosis remains the most common occupational disease in China, with occupational mineral dust exposure being its primary causative factor. Although national standards for online monitoring and early warning systems of coal mine dust concentrations have been established, national occupational health standards for rapid and online monitoring of dust concentration and particle size distribution in other industries are still limited. Among dust concentration sensor technologies, the light scattering method is the preferred choice for online dust monitoring owing to its wide measurement range and low cost. The beta-ray absorption method is mature but highly sensitive to humidity. The electrostatic induction method offers high sensitivity, simple structure, and low maintenance costs but exhibits high errors in low-concentration dust monitoring. The tapered element oscillating microbalance method is highly sensitive but costly. Multi-sensor data fusion technology can improve monitoring reliability, however, mature domestic products are not yet available. For monitoring dust particle size distribution, sieving and sedimentation methods are cumbersome. The aerodynamic method shows broad prospects in the online monitoring of respirable dust but has obvious measurement errors for larger dust particles. The use of optical measurement method is limited by dust morphology and is not suitable for monitoring coal dust particle size distribution. The electrical mobility method is primarily applicable to submicron dust. Future research should focus on promoting the application of monitoring technology for respirable dust particle size distribution in online monitoring of industrial dust. By integrating Internet of Things, data mining, and artificial intelligence technologies, along with multi-sensor data fusion and numerical simulation, dust concentration prediction models can be established to achieve accurate dust concentration monitoring and early warning of exceedances. The advancements of technologies will provide scientific support for the assessment of industrial dust hazards and the prevention and control of occupational pneumoconiosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified pelvic floor reconstruction in non-nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (NNS RARP) for improving postoperative urinary control. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 79 prostate cancer patients who underwent NNS RARP at Tangdu Hospital during Jan.2020 and Dec.2023, including 29 in the reconstruction group, and 50 in the non-reconstruction group. The baseline characteristics including age, body mass index, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, clinical stage, prostate volume, and biopsy Gleason score, and perioperative indexes including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, catheter indwelling time, complication rate, and positive rate of surgical margins were compared between the two groups. Additionally, urinary continence function was assessed before operation and 1,3,6, and 12 months after operation using the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-short form (ICIQ-SF) and the incontinence quality of life questionnaire score (I-QoL). Results No statistically significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time was significantly longer in the reconstruction group than in the non-reconstruction group [ (110.24±15.08) min vs. (101.80±9.89) min, P=0.010]. There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, catheter indwelling time, complication rate, and positive rate of surgical margins between the two groups (P>0.05). The reconstruction group demonstrated significantly lower ICIQ-SF scores at 1 month [ (10.17±2.16) vs. (11.56±1.66), P=0.002],3 months [ (7.62±1.29) vs. (9.52±1.80), P<0.001], and 6 months postoperatively [ (4.93±1.22) vs. (6.18± 1.67), P=0.001]compared to the non-reconstruction group (adjusted P<0.0125). Conversely, the I-QoL scores were significantly higher in the reconstruction group at 1 month [ (73.32±10.30) vs. (63.88±9.55), P<0.001]and 3 months postoperatively [ (78.91±4.82) vs. (75.66±5.17), P=0.007] (adjusted P<0.0125). However, no significant differences were found in ICIQ-SF or I-QoL scores between the two groups preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively (adjusted P>0.0125). Conclusion The application of modified pelvic floor reconstruction technique in NNS RARP is safe and feasible. Although it slightly prolongs the operation time, it does not increase surgical risks; instead, it effectively promotes early recovery of postoperative urinary continence, thereby significantly enhancing patients'quality of life.

Objective: To investigate whether TYRO protein tyrosine kinase-binding protein (TYROBP) affects the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK) pathway. Methods: Key genes in DKD were identified through bioinformatics analysis . Immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) were used to validate the expression levels of TYROBP in a DKD mouse model and high glucose-stimulated NRK-52E cells . NRK-52E cell models with stable TYROBP overexpression/knockdown and their corresponding empty vector (ev) /scrambled sequence (ss) controls were established via lentiviral trans- fection . Cells were treated with 5 . 5 mmol/L or 30. 0 mmol/L glucose for 72 hours to mimic normal glucose (NG) and high glucose ( HG) conditions , respectively. High glucose medium containing 3 . 5 μmol/L FR180204 was used for ERK inhibitor intervention . The experiment included seven groups : ev + NG , ev + HG , oe-TYROBP + HG , ss + NG , ss + HG , sh-TYROBP + HG , and sh-TYROBP + HG + ERK inhibitor. Western blot was used to de- tect the expression levels of phosphorylated ERK/total ERK (p-ERK/ERK) , apoptosis-related proteins B-cell lym- phoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein ( Bax) , and epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT)-related proteins E-cadherin and α-smooth muscle actin ( α-SMA) . Tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) staining and Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide (Annexin V-FITC/PI) flow cytometry were performed to as- sess mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis levels . Results: Bioinformatics analysis identified TYROBP as a key gene in DKD . In vivo and in vitro validation showed increased TYROBP mRNA levels in DKD models . The results from the HG model indicated that , compared to the ev + NG/ss + NG group , the ev + HG/ss + HG group demonstrated increased p-ERK/ERK expression , reduced mitochondrial membrane potential , elevated apoptosis , and enhanced EMT. In TYROBP-perturbed NRK-52E cells , compared to the ev + HG group , the oe-TYROBP + HG group showed decreased p-ERK/ERK expression (P < 0. 01) , increased mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0. 05) , reduced apoptosis (P < 0. 001) , and attenuated EMT; whereas compared to the ss + HG group , the sh- TYROBP + HG group exhibited increased p-ERK/ERK expression ( P < 0. 001) , decreased mitochondrial mem- brane potential (P < 0. 01) , elevated apoptosis (P < 0. 001) , and enhanced EMT. Furthermore , compared to the sh-TYROBP + HG group , the sh-TYROBP + HG + ERK inhibitor group displayed reduced p-ERK/ERK expression (P < 0. 01) , increased mitochondrial membrane potential ( P < 0. 001) , decreased apoptosis ( P < 0. 001) , and suppressed EMT. Compared with the scrambled sequence control + high glucose group , the TYROBP knockdown + high glucose group showed elevated p-ERK/ERK expression ( P < 0. 001) , reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0. 01) , increased apoptosis level (P < 0. 001) , and enhanced EMT. Compared with the TYROBP knockdown + high glucose group , the TYROBP knockdown + high glucose + ERK inhibitor group demonstrated decreased p-ERK/ERK expression (P < 0. 01) , restored mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0. 001) , reduced apoptosis level (P < 0. 001) , and suppressed EMT. Conclusion TYROBP may regulate the ERK signaling path- way to modulate apoptosis- and EMT-related proteins , thereby influencing mitochondrial membrane potential , apop- tosis , and EMT in renal tubular epithelial cells and contributing to DKD progression .

Enhanced recovery after surgery has reduced the number and duration of medical catheter placements through perioperative optimization measures. However, in clinical practice, catheters are still inevitably heavily used, and the risk of catheter-related infections persists. Preventing bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on catheter surfaces is crucial. Medical antibacterial-coated catheters introduce substances that prevent fouling and adhesion, inhibit or kill bacteria on the surface, forming an antibacterial functional surface, providing a new strategy to address catheter-related infections. This article summarizes the current research status of medical antibacterial-coated catheters, introduces the antibacterial strategies and principles of the coatings, describes their actual effects in clinical applications, and analyzes future research directions. These studies help reduce catheter-related infections, promote innovation in clinical nursing technology, and improve the quality and efficiency of nursing care.
