Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of visual dilated sheath combined with needle nephroscope percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with traditional PCNL for renal calculi,so as to enhance the intraoperative safety and puncture accuracy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 patients with renal calculi treated on hospital during Sep.2022 to Sep.2023.Based on the surgical approaches,patients were divided into the needle nephroscope group (PCNL with visual dilator sheath and needle nephroscope,n=52) and traditional group (traditional PCNL,n=48).Clinical characteristics,surgical parameters,and outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline data,total operation time and hospital stay (P>0.05).The needle nephroscope group had a longer channel establishment time compared to the traditional group [20.0(17.0-22.0) min vs.16.0 (15.0-21.0) min,P=0.002],but significantly shorter puncture time [2.0 (1.0-2.6) min vs. 2.8(2.0-3.5) min,P<0.001],and fewer adjustments of the puncture needle (9.6% vs. 64.6%,P<0.001).The channel was successfully established on the first attempt in all patients in the needle nephroscope group,while only 41 of patients in the traditional group achieved success on the first attempt,6 cases needed 2 attempts,and 1 case needed 3 attempts.Postoperative complications were absent in the needle nephroscope group,whereas postoperative bleeding requiring interventional treatment occurred in 1 case in the traditional group.There was no significant difference in the first-stage stone-clearance rate between the two groups (88.4%vs. 85.4%,P=0.872). Conclusion: PCNL using a visual dilator sheath combined with a needle nephroscope achieves a comparable first-stage stone-clearance rate to traditional PCNL.However,it offers significant advantages in terms of shorter puncture time,fewer adjustments of the puncture needle,and lower postoperative complication rate.These findings suggest superior safety and precision,making it a valuable technique for clinical application.

AIM: To prepare a nanodrug MMC-ATS-@PLGA using polylactic acid hydroxyacetic acid copolymer(PLGA)as a carrier and mitomycin C(MMC)loaded on PLGA, and to analyse the biological safety and treatment effect of this nanodrug on inhibiting the proliferation of filtering bleb scarring after glaucoma surgery in vivo.METHODS: The thin-film dispersion hydration ultrasonic method was used to prepare the MMC-ATS-@PLGA, and its physical and chemical properties were detected. The effect of MMC-ATS@PLGA on rabbit corneas was analysed through corneal fluorescence staining and HE staining, and tear film rupture time(BUT), Schirmer test and intraocular pressure data were collected to analyse ocular surface biosafety. A slit lamp was used to observe and calculate the filtration bubble size, and the tissue morphological changes were analysed by conjunctival HE staining. In addition, immunohistochemistry and Elisa were used to compare the anti-inflammatory effects of Flumiolone Eye Drops(FML), MMC, and MMC-ATS-@PLGA nanoparticles on inhibiting the formation of filtering bleb scarring after glaucoma surgery from multiple perspectives via comparative proteomic analysis.RESULTS: The average particle size and zeta potential of MMC-ATS-@PLGA were 128.78±2.54 nm and 36.49±4.25 mV, respectively, with an encapsulation efficiency and a drug loading rate of(78.49±2.75)% and(30.86±1.84)%, respectively. At 33°C(the ocular surface temperature), the cumulative release rate of the MMC-ATS-@PLGA nanoparticles reached(76.58±2.68)% after 600 min. Moreover, corneal fluorescence staining, HE, BUT, Schirmer, and intraocular pressure results showed that MMC-ATS-@PLGA had good biocompatibility with the ocular surface of rabbits. At 3 wk after surgery, the area of filtering blebs in the MMC-ATS-@PLGA group was significantly larger than that in the FML group and MMC group, and the filtering blebs in the control group had basically disappeared. Pathological tissue analysis of the conjunctiva in the filtering blebs area of the eyes of the rabbits revealed that compared with that in the normal group, the morphology of the collagen fibres in the MMC-ATS-@PLGA group was relatively regular, the fibres were arranged neatly, and the tissue morphology was similar to that of the normal group. Immunohistochemistry and Elisa confirmed that compared with those in the normal group, the expression levels of α-SMA, CTGF, and type Ⅲ collagen fibre antibodies were significantly increased in the control group. After FML, MMC, or MMC-ATS-@PLGA treatment for 3 wk, the expression of inflammatory factors gradually decreased. Among the groups, the MMC-ATS-@PLGA group showed the most significant decrease(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: This study successfully synthesized a nanomedicine(MMC-ATS-@PLGA)that inhibits scar proliferation after glaucoma filtration surgery. The drug had stable physicochemical properties, good biocompatibility, and better anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the expression of α-SMA, CTGF, and type Ⅲ collagen fibres, which can prevent the formation of scarring in the filtering blebs area, thereby improving the success rate of glaucoma filtering surgery.

Objective:To establish a nomogram prediction model for the prognosis of patients with septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) based on afterload-corrected cardiac performance (ACP), in order to identify septic patients with poor outcomes and treatment.Methods:The data of patients admitted to the department of critical medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from June 2016 to June 2019 were analyzed. All patients were monitored by pulse indication continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) monitor more than 24 hours and diagnosed as SCM with ACP less than 80%. The predictors of 30-day death risk of SCM patients were screened by univariate Cox regression analysis. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to establish the prediction model for 30-day death risk of SCM patients, which was displayed by the nomogram. Finally, the discrimination and calibration of the model were analyzed by receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) and consistency index (C-index).Results:A total of 102 patients with SCM were included and the 30-day mortality was 60.8% (62 cases). Among 102 patients with SCM, 57 patients (55.9%) had mild impairment of cardiac function (60%≤ACP < 80%), and the 30-day mortality was 43.9% (25/57); 39 patients (38.2%) had moderate impairment of cardiac function (40%≤ACP < 60%), and the 30-day mortality was 79.5% (31/39); 6 patients (5.9%) had severe impairment of cardiac function (ACP < 40%), and the 30-day mortality was 100% (6/6). There was significantly difference in mortality among the three groups (χ 2 = 24.156, P < 0.001). The potential risk factors for 30-day death of SCM patients screened by univariate Cox regression analysis were included in multivariate Cox regression analysis. The results showed that the independent risk factors for 30-day death of SCM patients were acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ [APACHEⅡ, risk ratio ( HR) = 1.031, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.002-1.061, P = 0.039], vasoactive inotropic score (VIS, HR = 1.003, 95% CI was 1.001-1.005, P = 0.012), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT; HR = 2.106, 95% CI was 1.089-4.072, P = 0.027), and ACP ( HR = 0.952, 95% CI was 0.928-0.977, P < 0.001). The nomogram model was established based on the above independent risk factors and age, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.865 (95% CI was 0.795-0.935), P < 0.001; C-index was 0.797 (95% CI was 0.747-0.847), P > 0.05. Conclusions:The nomogram model based on age, APACHEⅡ score, VIS score, CRRT and ACP has a certain clinical reference significance for the prediction of 30-day mortality of SCM patients. The discrimination and calibration are good, however, further verification is needed.
