Objective To analyze the safety and efficacy of neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery and traditional extraventricular drainage in the treatment of severe hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage.Methods The clinical data of 50 cases with neuroendoscopic ventricular hematoma evacuation(endoscopy group)and 44 cases with traditional ventricles external puncture drainage(drainage group)from July 2020 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,and the hematoma clearance rates,classification of activities of daily living(ADL)scale,incidence of hydrocephalus,secondary bleeding,intracranial infection,and pulmonary infection were observed between the two groups of patients.Results After surgery,the proportion of patients with hematoma clearance rate>60％and ADL grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ in the endoscopy group were significantly higher than those in the drainage group[the proportion of patients with hematoma clearance rate>60％:88.0％(44/50)vs.47.7％(21/44),χ2=17.794,P<0.001;the proportion of individuals with ADL grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ:94.0％(47/50)vs.77.3％(33/44),respectively,χ2=5.459,P=0.019],the incidence of complications in endoscopy group was significantly lower in the drainage group[8.0％(4/50)vs.34.1％(15/44),χ2=9.879,P=0.002].Conclusion Compared with traditional ventricular puncture drainage surgery,neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of severe hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with ventricular casting can achieve better treatment outcomes,a higher hematoma clearance rate,and fewer postoperative complications.

Trigeminal neuralgia(TN)is a common neurological disease in clinical practice,which often causes unbearable pain to patients.This paper reported a rare case of idiopathic TN after external carotid artery stenting(ECAS)and analyzed the cause.It is considered to be related to the compression and impact to the trigeminal nerve from the blood flow of the maxillary artery which had been improved after ECAS.TN was effectively relieved after treatment with carbamazepine,and not any discomfort was observed at 1-week follow-up after discharge.Currently,TN of this patient has been well controlled.Since there are no any relevant reports in clinical practice,this case report is provided to clinical physicians for reference and discussion.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop a comprehensive instrument for evaluating and ranking clinical practice guidelines, named Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings tool (STAR), and test its reliability, validity, and usability. METHODS: This study set up a multidisciplinary working group including guideline methodologists, statisticians, journal editors, clinicians, and other experts. Scoping review, Delphi methods, and hierarchical analysis were used to develop the STAR tool. We evaluated the instrument's intrinsic and interrater reliability, content and criterion validity, and usability. RESULTS: STAR contained 39 items grouped into 11 domains. The mean intrinsic reliability of the domains, indicated by Cronbach's α coefficient, was 0.588 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.414, 0.762). Interrater reliability as assessed with Cohen's kappa coefficient was 0.774 (95% CI: 0.740, 0.807) for methodological evaluators and 0.618 (95% CI: 0.587, 0.648) for clinical evaluators. The overall content validity index was 0.905. Pearson's r correlation for criterion validity was 0.885 (95% CI: 0.804, 0.932). The mean usability score of the items was 4.6 and the median time spent to evaluate each guideline was 20 min. CONCLUSION The instrument performed well in terms of reliability, validity, and efficiency, and can be used for comprehensively evaluating and ranking guidelines.

Currently, in precision cardiac surgery, there are still some pressing issues that need to be addressed. For example, cardiopulmonary bypass remains a critical factor in precise surgical treatment, and many core aspects still rely on the experience and subjective judgment of cardiopulmonary bypass specialists and surgeons, lacking precise data feedback. With the increasing elderly population and rising surgical complexity, precise feedback during cardiopulmonary bypass becomes crucial for improving surgical success rates and facilitating high-complexity procedures. Overcoming these key challenges requires not only a solid medical background but also close collaboration among multiple interdisciplinary fields. Establishing a multidisciplinary team encompassing professionals from the medical, information, software, and related industries can provide high-quality solutions to these challenges. This article shows several patents from a collaborative medical and electronic information team, illustrating how to identify unresolved technical issues and find corresponding solutions in the field of precision cardiac surgery while sharing experiences in applying for invention patents.

Biofilms are closely associated with the tough healing and dysfunctional inflammation of chronic wounds. Photothermal therapy (PTT) emerged as a suitable alternative which could destroy the structure of biofilms with local physical heat. However, the efficacy of PTT is limited because the excessive hyperthermia could damage surrounding tissues. Besides, the difficult reserve and delivery of photothermal agents makes PTT hard to eradicate biofilms as expectation. Herein, we present a GelMA-EGF/Gelatin-MPDA-LZM bilayer hydrogel dressing to perform lysozyme-enhanced PTT for biofilms eradication and a further acceleration to the repair of chronic wounds. Gelatin was used as inner layer hydrogel to reserve lysozyme (LZM) loaded mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) (MPDA-LZM) nanoparticles, which could rapidly liquefy while temperature rising so as to achieve a bulk release of nanoparticles. MPDA-LZM nanoparticles serve as photothermal agents with antibacterial capability, could deeply penetrate and destroy biofilms. In addition, the outer layer hydrogel consisted of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) promoted wound healing and tissue regeneration. It displayed remarkable efficacy on alleviating infection and accelerating wound healing in vivo. Overall, the innovative therapeutic strategy we came up with has significant effect on biofilms eradication and shows promising application in promoting the repair of clinical chronic wounds.

Objective　To study the efficacy and safety of hard channel puncture drainage in the treatment of multiple septated chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) in the elderly by comparison with drilling drainage. Methods Twenty-one over-80-year-old patients with unilateral multiple septated CSDH were treated with drilling drainage in 9 cases (drilling group) and hard channel puncture drainage in 12 cases (hard channel group). The operation time, hematoma clearance rate in 1 week after operation, postoperative complications and hematoma recurrence in 3 months after operation were compared between the two groups. Results　The two groups of patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time ranged from 50 to 95 min with a mean of (78±14) min in the drilling group and 22 to 40 min with a mean of (29±5) min in the hard channel group. The difference was significant (P<0.05); One week after operation, the hematoma clearance rate ranged from 92% to100% with a mean of 96%±3% in the drilling group and 90% to 100% with a mean of 94%±3% in the hard channel group. The difference was not significant (P>0.05). Postoperative complications: there was no epilepsy in the drilling group, and 1 epilepsy in the hard channel group (8.3%). The difference was not significant (P>0.05). There were no other complications such as intracranial space occupying gas, brain parenchyma injury, intracranial infection in both groups. Hematoma recurrence 3 months after operation: there was no recurrence in the drilling group and 3 cases (25%) in the hard channel group. The difference was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusions　Hard channel puncture drainage is safe and effective in the treatment of elderly multiple septated CSDH. Compared with drilling drainage, it has shorter operation time, less trauma and is more suitable for patients with important organ diseases.

At present, the incidence and mortality of cancers are increasing year by year, which has become a major global public health problem and the main cause of death of global population. In recent years, studies have shown that branched-chain amino acids levels play an important part in the incidence and prognosis of some malignant tumors, such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and so on. Therefore, this article summarizes the studies on the relationship between the level of branched-chain amino acids and cancers, providing clues for further exploration of the correlation between the two.
