Objective To explore the trend of lung cancer prevalence and influencing factors in a Hospital of Zigong from 2019-2023. Methods Select 2 835 lung cancer patients in Zigong region admitted to the Zigong Fourth People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023, and analyze the changes in the clinical characteristics and age strata of patients in different time periods in this group. Three thousand non-cancer respiratory patients in the same time period were included to compare the differences in patient data and to analyze the influencing factors affecting the changes in the characteristics of lung cancer in this region. Results There was an upward trend in the number of patients with pneumonia included between 2019 and 2023, with the highest volume of patients included in 2021 (609 cases). Over the 5-year period, the percentage of patients aged 0-39 years did not change significantly and accounted for a relatively low percentage. The proportion of patients aged 40-49 years increased (APC=0.69%, t=2.990, P<0.05), and the proportion of patients over 60 years old decreased, but to a lesser extent (APC=-0.25%, t=2.210, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in male percentage, lesion site, distant metastasis, smoking history and tumor diameter among patients in different years (all P>0.05). There were significant differences in TNM stage and lymphatic metastasis among patients in different years (all P<0.05). Compared with 2019, the proportion of early stage and patients with lymph node metastasis showed an upward trend within five years (χ²_{early stage}=9.153, P_{early stage}=0.002; χ²_{lymph node metastasis}=5.848, P_{lymph node metastasis}=0.016). The factor associated with the change in age of lung cancer patients in different years was family history of lung cancer (P<0.01). Factors associated with histologic changes in lung cancer patients in different years were age, family history of lung cancer and smoking history (all P<0.05). Factors associated with changes in TNM distribution in lung cancer patients in different years were age, tumor diameter, family history of lung cancer and lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). Factors associated with changes in lymph node metastasis in lung cancer patients in different years were tumor diameter and TNM stage (all P<0.05). Conclusion From 2019 to 2023, the age of patients with lung cancer in a Hospital in Zigong area showed a decreasing trend, which may be influenced by family history of lung cancer.Patients with TNM early stage and lymph node metastasis increased respectively, which influenced each other and were interfered by factors of age, tumor diameter, and family history of lung cancer.

Objective To study the effects of the intelligent hearing-assistive system incorporated in Nuro-tron cochlear implants(CI),including the autonomic acoustic scene recognition(ASR),intelligent strategy config-uration as well as the objective and subjective hearing improvements on recipients.Methods ① To evaluate the per-formance of the ASR matule,in a sound-proof room,the preset five kinds of test audios,including speech,noise,speech in noise,pure music(without human voice)and non-pure Music(with human voice)were played.Each type of scenes included 6 to 9 5 min test files.The prediction accuracy and scene switching times were calculated.② In order to evaluate the noise-reduction performance of the ABeam technology in the speech enhancement module,13 Nurotron? CI recipients were recruited and their speech recognition rate when ABeam was"ON"and"OFF"with noise coming from 90°,180°or 270°were tested,individually.Also,their subjective hearing feedback was evaluated through visual analogue scale(VAS)evaluation.Results The ASR module achieved high prediction performance,with prediction accuracy 99％±4％,96％±9％,94％±12％,94％±15％,92％±13％for speech,noise,noisy speech,pure music and non-pure music,respectively.The scene transation times for each individual scene were 1.1 ±0.3,1.4±0.7,1.3±0.5,1.4±0.8 and 1.3±0.5,indicating that the prediction was also stable.When noise came from the sides and behind of recipients and speech signal from the front,the adaptive dual microphone noise re-duction algorithm ABeam significantly increased the speech recognition score(SRS)in 5 dB signal-to-noise(SNR)environment(P＜0.001),with an average increase of 15.92％.Especially when the noise came from 180 degree backward,the SRS increased 28.68％when ABeam was"0N",which was significantly higher than when ABeam was"OFF"(P＜0.01).Conclusion The intelligent hearing-assistive system can help CI recipients automatically configure appropriate SPSs under different environments,improving the speech intelligibility and hearing comfort.

Objective To explore the prognostic impact and clinical application value of therapeutic plasma exchange(TPE)intervention timing and liver injury periodization in patients with exertional heat stroke(EHS).Methods Data of 127 EHS patients from the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People′s Liberation Army from January 2011 to December 2023 were collected,then divided into the death group and the survival group based on therapeutic outcomes and into 5 stages according to the dynamic changes of ALT,AST,TBIL and DBIL.According to propensity score matching analysis,11 patients in the survival group and 12 patients in the death group were included in the statistical analysis,and 20 of them were treated with TPE.The changes in indicators and clinical outcomes before and after TPE were observed,in order to evaluate the impact of intervention timing on prognosis.Results Among the 23 patients,14 had no liver injury or could progress to the repair phase,resulting in 3 deaths(with the mortality rate of 21.43%),while 9 patients failed to pro-gress to the repair phase,resulting in 9 deaths(with the mortality rate of 100%),with significant differences(P＜0.05).The mortality rate of the first TPE intervention before the third stage of liver injury was 23.08%(3/13),while that of interven-tion after reaching or exceeding the third stage was 85.71%(6/7),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion TPE should be executed actively in EHS patients combined with liver injury before the third phase to lock its pathological and physiological processes,thereby improving prognosis and reducing mortality.

Objective To construct the medical risk comprehensive assessment system based on big data,and to evaluate its consistency and efficiency.Methods Aiming at the current situation of risk assessment of inpatients,based on the means of big data,the medical natural language processing was used to design a medi-cal risk comprehensive assessment system.The system can automatically capture various data of patients,au-tomatically generate the scores by data mining and machine learning technology and send the risk data to med-ical staff,so as to realize the automation and intellectualization.The randomized controlled analysis was used to conduct the manual scoring and machine scoring for included the score scale.The visual risk matrix diagram was automatically generated by comparing the scoring.Results The Kappa values of the scoring system in the included study of the system were as follows:the Kappa value in Caprini scale(surgery)and Padua scale(internal medicine)was 1.00,NNIS Kappa value was 1.00,Nomogram Kappa value was 0.87,Kappa value in the Morse assessment scale/Hendrich model was 0.83,Braden Kappa value was 0.80,ASA 2023 Kappa was 1.00 and NRS 2002 Kappa value was 0.90.The taking time in the machine scoring all were shorter than those in the manual scoring,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The risk matrix graph constructed by this system could sharply increase the evaluation efficiency and accuracy,which not only provide the accuracy diagnosis and treatment regimen,but also shorten the hospitalization duration and reduce the medical costs.

Objective To analyze the effect of preoperative nutritional status on the intraoperative un-expected hypothermia in elderly patients with laparoscopic gastrointestinal tumor radical operation and its risk factors.Methods The clinical case data in 282 elderly patients with laparoscopic gastrointestinal tumor radical surgery in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from February 2021 to December 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.The mini nutritional assessment short form(MNA-SF)was adopted to e-valuate the preoperative nutritional status of the patients.The intraoperative unexpected hypothermia occur-rence were statistically analyzed.The univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the in-fluencing factors.Results Among 282 patients,104 cases(36.88％)had unexpected hypothermia during op-eration.The incidence rate of intraoperative unexpected hypothermia in the patients with complicating malnu-trition or malnutritional risk was significantly higher than that in the patients with normal nutritional status(P＜0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age ≥70 years old,body mass index(BMI)＜18.5 kg/m2,progressive weight loss appearance before surgery,preoperative MNA-SF score＜12 points,CO2 pneumoperitoneum time＞4 h and complicating hypoalbuminemia were the independent risk fac-tors for intraoperative unexpected hypothermia occurrence in the elderly patients with laparoscopic gastroin-testinal tumor radical operation(P＜0.05),while the use of heating device for initiatively maintaining tem-perature during surgery was the protective factor for avoiding intraoperative unexpected hypothermia occur-rence(P＜0.05).Conclusion The elderly patients with poor nutritional status undergoing laparoscopic gas-trointestinal tumor radical surgery are more likely to develop unexpected hypothermia.There are many influ-encing factors,so close attention should be paid to.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of 3D printing technology in the treatment of complex posterior lateral tibial plateau fractures using the suprafibular approach. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 67 patients with complex posterior lateral tibial plateau fractures treated with the suprafibular approach. Patients were divided into 3D printing group (35 cases) and conventional group (32 cases) based on whether 3D printing simulation surgery was used preoperatively. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency were compared between the two groups. Postoperative complications such as incision infection, popliteal vessel injury, and common peroneal nerve injury were observed. Fracture healing time was recorded during follow-up, and Rasmussen scores were evaluated at 6 months postoperatively. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee function score was assessed during the final follow-up. Results The follow-up duration for 67 patients was 14 to 22 months. One patient in each group developed postoperative incision infection, and no complications such as popliteal vessel injury, common peroneal nerve injury, or deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity occurred. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency were significantly lower in the 3D printing group than in the conventional group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in fracture healing time, Rasmussen scores at 6 months postoperatively, and HSS scores during the final follow-up between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The application of 3D printing technology in the treatment of complex posterior lateral tibial plateau fractures using the suprafibular approach can optimize surgical plans, shorten operation time, and reduce intraoperative blood loss and fluoroscopy frequency.

Objective:To examine the influence of hyperlipidemia on perioperative outcomes of rectal cancer patients.Methods:From June 2016 to June 2019, 86 patients who had received laparotomy or laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer at the Department of General Surgery of Nanjing Jiangbei People's Hospital were selected as research subjects.Preoperative blood lipids were measured.Based on lipid levels, patients were divided into the hyperlipidemia group(46 cases)and the normal blood lipid group(40 cases). Operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative recovery outcomes, incidence of anastomotic fistula, and incidences of incision fat liquefaction and incision infections were compared between the two groups.SPSS21.0 was used for data analysis.Results:Compared with the normal lipid group, the operative time of the hyperlipidemia group was significantly longer and the amount of intraoperative blood loss was higher in the hyperlipidemia group, and the differences were statistically significant.Compared with the normal lipid group, the hyperlipidemia group showed a longer time to first postoperative flatus and to first postoperative oral intake, delayed drainage tube removal and ambulation, and longer hospital stays, with statistically significant differences.There were 17 cases of postoperative complications in the hyperlipidemia group(37.0%)and 4 cases in the normal lipid group(10.0%), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=7.027, P=0.008). Conclusions:Hyperlipidemia has adverse effects on surgical outcomes and postoperative recovery for rectal cancer patients.

There were 5 males and 23 females, with median age 63.00 (47.50, 66.75) years old. The urgency score was 4 (3, 4) points, 24-hour micturition frequency was 26 (20.50, 32.50) times, nocturia was 9 (7, 12) times, single urine volume was 59.00 (41.25, 79.50) ml, VAS score was 9.0 (8.0, 9.0) points, O′Leary-Sant score was 31.00 (20.25, 33.00) points, and single maximum urine volume was 100.0 (80.0, 127.5) ml. The improvement of symptoms before operation, test period and last follow-up were compared.Results:The urgency score was 2 (1, 3), the 24-hour micturition frequency was 17.00 (15.00, 22.75), the frequency of nocturia was 5.5 (4.0, 7.0), the single urine volume was 87.50 (70.25, 110.00) ml, the VAS score was 4.0 (3.0, 6.0) and the O′Leary-Sant score was 20.00 (17.00, 23.00) in 28 patients during the test period, which were significantly improved compared with those before operation ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the single maximum urine volume of 135.0 (102.5, 160.0) ml between the two groups ( P > 0.05). 28 patients received SNM Ⅱ permanent stimulator implantation. The median follow-up time was 29.5 (21.25, 61.75) months. Among the 28 patients, 3 patients underwent cystectomy and ileal conduit after removal of the complete SNM system due to the unsatisfied results. Twenty-five cases (89.3%) were still treated with SNM. Among them, 6 cases accepted combinative therapy of oral medicine (antihistamines, sodium pentose polysulfate, hormones, immunosuppressants, etc.). Two cases accepted combinative therapy of intravesical instillation, including heparin in one case and sodium hyaluronate in the other one. Three cases accepted combinative therapy of botulinum toxin injection.One case accepted combinative therapy of bladder augmentation. Two cases accepted combinative therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). One case accepted combinative therapy of oral medicine and TCM. The remaining 10 cases didn't accept any treatment. Among them, 3 cases were still treated with SNM even though they were not satisfied with the effect, including 1 case due to electrode displacement. At the last follow-up of 25 patients, the urgency score was 2 (1, 3), the 24-hour micturition frequency was 16.50 (13.00, 19.75), the frequency of nocturia was 5.5 (4.0, 9.0), the single urine volume was 105.0 (72.5, 120.0) ml, the VAS score was 4.5 (3.0, 6.0) and the O'Leary Sant score was 16.00 (14.00, 22.50), which were significantly improved compared with those before operation ( P < 0.05), but no difference with those during test period ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the single maximum urine volume of 125.0 (102.5, 150.0) ml at the last follow-up compared with preoperative and test period ( P>0.05). Conclusions:As a treatment option for refractory IC / BPS, SNM can improve the symptoms of most patients and maintain good long-term efficacy combined with other.
