Objective To evaluate the application effect of ciprofol-alfentanil in short urological surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients who were to undergo urological general anesthesia surgery in this hospital were divided into two groups by random number method:ciprofol-alfentanil group(group C)and propofol-alfentanil group(group P).Group C was injected with ciprofol 0.4 mg/kg,group P was injected with propofol 1.5-2.0 mg/kg,and when the bispectral index(BIS)was<60,the intravenous injection of alfen-tanil(10 μg/kg)and rocuronium bromide(0.6 mg/kg)was continued.When the modified alertness/sedation score(MOAA/S score)was 0,the laryngeal mask was placed and mechanical ventilation was used.During the maintenance period,ciprofol 0.8-1.2 mg·kg-1·h-1 was infused intravenously in group C,and propofol 4-6 mg·kg-1·h-1 was infused intravenously in group P.The heart rate(HR),blood pressure(BP),oxygen saturation(SpO2),end-tidal carbon dioxide(PetCO2),BIS and MOAA/S score were recorded at the begin-ning of anesthesia induction(T0),laryngeal mask insertion(T1),ureteroscopy entry(T2),10 min after sur-gery(T3)and the end of surgery(T4).The consciousness disappearance time,operation time,anesthesia re-covery time,drug dosage,injection pain during induction,hypotension,bradycardia and other adverse reactions during the operation were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in HR,SpO2,PetCO2,BIS value,MOAA/S score,operation time,consciousness disappearance time,and anesthesia recovery time be-tween the two groups at each time point(P>0.05).The dosage of sedative drugs in group C was less than that in group P(P<0.05).Compared with group P,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at T1-T3 and diastolic blood pressure at T4 increased in group C(P<0.05).Compared with T0,systolic blood pressure at T1-T4 in group C and group P decreased,diastolic blood pressure at T2-T4 in group C de-creased,and diastolic blood pressure at T1-T4 in group P decreased(P<0.05).Compared with group P,the injection pain and the incidence of intraoperative hypotension were reduced in group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Cipro-fol-alfentanil is superior to propofol-alfentanil in short urological surgery.

Osteosarcoma （OS） is the most common primary malignant bone tumor originating from mesenchymal stem cells， which features high degree of malignancy， strong invasiveness， easy early metastasis， and high recurrence rate. The clinical manifestations of OS are pain， local mass， limited movement， and pathological fracture. OS mainly occurs in children， adolescents， and the elderly， seriously threatening physical and mental health of patients， as well as their quality of life. The currently available therapies for OS are surgery， chemoradiotherapy， and the combination of the two. Although the therapeutic effect has been improved， tumor recurrence and metastasis and multidrug resistance still occur. Thus， the therapeutic effect is not satisfactory， especially in improving the overall survival rate of patients with metastatic OS. As a result， clinicians and researchers have been making efforts to find an effective therapy. In recent years， the mechanism of curcumin （CUR） against OS has attracted wide attention. CUR， a pigment extracted from the rhizomes or tubers of many plants， such as Curcuma longa， C. rcenyujin， and C. phaeocaulis， has a variety of pharmacological effects. Scholars have found that CUR has the effects of inhibiting proliferation， inducing apoptosis， and reversing multidrug resistance （MDR） of tumor cells， but also it has poor water solubility and low bioavailability， which limit the clinical application. This paper mainly discusses the mechanism of CUR against OS， the existing problems， new treatment methods， and future research directions， which is expected to provide new ideas for scientific researchers and provide a reference for the development and utilization of CUR in the future.

Objective:To investigate the effects of transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) and femtosecond small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on corneal biomechanics measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer in the early postoperative period.Methods:A cohort study was conducted.The right eyes of 56 patients who underwent TransPRK and 52 patients who underwent SMILE in Dalian Medical University Affiliated Dalian Third People's Hospital from November 2020 to June 2021 were continuously included.The postoperative follow-up was 3 months.The central corneal thickness (CCT) and keratometry (Km) were measured 1 month and 3 months after surgery.The corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc), corneal resistance factor (CRF), corneal hysteresis (CH), and 19 repeatable mechanical infrared signal waveform parameters measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer were recorded before the surgery, 1 month and 3 months after the surgery, respectively.The measurement indexs at different time points between two groups were compared.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and the study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Dalian Medical University Affiliated Dalian Third People's Hospital (No.2019-KT-010). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before surgery.Results:There was no significant difference in CCT, Km, and IOPcc between the two groups at 1 month and 3 months after the surgery (all at P>0.05). In both groups, CRF, CH, p1area, p2area, p1area1, p2area1, w1, w2, w11, w21, h1, h2, h11, h21, dive1, dive2 and mslew1 were decreased, while path1, path2, path11, and aplhf were increased at 1 month after the surgery compared with before surgery, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In both groups, CRF, CH, p1area, p2area, p1area1, p2area1, w1, w2, w11, w21, h1, h2, h11, h21, dive1 decreased, while path1, path2, path11, and aplhf were increased at 3 months after the surgery in comparison with before surgery, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In SMILE group, the dive2 were decreased at 3 months after the surgery compared with before surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). At 1 month after the surgery, p1area, p2area, p1area1, p2area1, w1, w2, w11, w21, dive1 and dive2 were higher, while CH, path1, path2, and path11 were smaller in TransPRK group than in SMILE group, showing statistically significant differences between them (all at P<0.05). At 3 months after the surgery, p1area, p2area, p1area1, p2area1, w1, w2, w11, w21, h2, h21, dive1 and dive2 were higher, while path1, path2, and path11 were smaller in TransPRK group than in SMILE group, showing statistically significant differences between them (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Corneal biomechanics are weakened after both TransPRK and SMILE.In the early postoperative period, the mechanical infrared waveform parameters measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer are better after TransPRK than after SMILE.

Objective:To investigate the efficiency and safety of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in pediatric patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).Method:A retrospective study of children who underwent PD for AKI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from 2003 to 2013 was performed, and the laboratory examinations, the causes, the complication, the prognosis and the risk factors were evaluated.Results:The study included 48 children, with the age of (67.6±51.7) months (ranging from 3 months to 15 years old), including 31 males (64.6%) and 34 co-infections (70.8%). Primary glomerulonephritis (27.1%) was the most common cause of AKI, followed by the hemolytic uremic syndrome (18.7%) and drug induced AKI (18.7%). Peritoneal dialysis was performed manually using percutaneous or adapted catheters. The duration of PD during hospitalization was 11(7,14) days. PD treatment was highly effective in attenuation of toxics retention and correction of electrolyte disturbances (all P<0.05). There were 3 cases of PD-related complications, including 1 case of peritonitis, 1 case of catheter outflow obstruction, 1 case of catheter exit site hematoma, and no child patient died of PD complications. Among the AKI children, 37 cases (77.1%) recovered with the PD treatment and had the catheter successfully removed till discharge, 7 cases (14.6%) needed further peritoneal dialysis and 4 cases (8.3%) died. The serum albumin level was significantly higher in patients who got recovered with PD treatment than other unrecovered cases [(32.6±6.7) g/L vs (23.2±4.3) g/L, t=-3.994, P<0.001]. Conclusions:PD can be safely and efficiently performed for the treatment of pediatric AKI. Low albumin level may be related to poor prognosis of AKI.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and discuss the role and significance of surgical intervention in the treatment of AIP.Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with preoperative confirmed AIP and 8 patients with preoperative suspected AIP receiving surgical intervention at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from 2011 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 11 preoperatively confirmed AIP patients,9 (47.4％) underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with nasal bile duct implantation or biliary stent drainage,and 2 (10.5％)underwent choledochojejunostomy.Among 8 putative AIP patients in which a cancer was suspected 4 (21.1％) underwent choledochojejunostomy,3 (15.8％) did pancreaticoduodenectomy,and 1 (5.3％) had distal pancreatectomy plus splenectomy.Postoperative pathology confirmed pancreatic cancer in 3 cases,IPMN in 1 case.Conclusions While autoimmune pancreatitis is IgG4 related disease,surgical intervention is indicated when there is poor response to drug treatment or when a cancer is to be ruled out.

Undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cell(UOC) published to date,and most have been in Asia,is a rare occurrence making up 1％ of all pancreatic malignancies.With the increasing number of reported cases of the disease,the degree of awareness of the disease also gradually deepened,but there are few summary articles for the clinical features,imaging features,pathological features,treatment programs,prognosis and other aspects of UOC.Hence,this article is going to introduce pathological features,clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of adjuvant advances of UOC in detail.

Objective To investigate the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI)quantitative parameters in evaluating patholog-ical grade of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC).Methods The DKI images of 45 patients with CSCC were analyzed retrospec-tively.According to the results of pathology,22 cases were divided into poorly differentiated group and 23 cases well-moderately dif-ferentiated group.The DKI parameters of two groups were measured by two observers,which included mean kurtosis (MK),axial kurtosis (Ka),radial kurtosis (Kr),fractional anisotropy of kurtosis (FAk),mean diffusivity (MD),axial diffusivity (Da),radial diffusivity (Dr)and fractional anisotropy (FA).The intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC)was used to test the consistency of the parameters measured results on two observers.The two independent samples t test was used to compare the parameters of two groups,and the ROC curve was used to evaluate the effectiveness of each parameter in order to evaluate the poorly differentiated CSCC and find the boundary values.Results The data consistency of two observers were good (ICC>0.75).The MK,Ka and Kr values on poorly differentiated CSCC were greater than that on well-moderately differentiated (P<0.05),the MD,Da and Dr values were less than that on well-moderately differentiated (P<0.05),the FAk and FA values had no difference (P>0.05).Thearea un-der curve (AUC)of MK,Ka,Kr,MD,Da and Dr values to diagnose poorly differentiated CSCC were 0.914,0.831,0.865,0.850, 0.778 and 0.865,respectively.The boundary values of diagnosing poorly differentiated CSCC were MK≥0.973,Ka≥1.075,Kr≥0.823, MD≤0.974μm2/ms,Da≤1.185μm2/ms and Dr≤0.762μm2/ms,respectively.Conclusion DKI can effectively predict the patho-logical grading of CSCC,which has a good clinical application prospects.

Objective To assess the value of spectral CT imaging in distinguishing mass type colorectal adenocarcinoma from colorectal adenoma. Methods Forty patients underwent preoperative abdominal dual energy spectral CT scan were analyzed restrospectively, including 17 with colorectal adenomas and 23 with mass type colorectal adenocarcinomas proven by endoscopic and surgical pathology. All patients underwent plain and three-phase enhanced CT scanning. The conventional polychromatic CT value and its pre- and postcontrast CT values, monochromatic CT value of 40 to 100 keV, the slope of spectral curve and iodine(water) concentration were measured, and the maximum diameter of the lesion was recorded. The maximum diameters of the lesions and imaging parameter differences between the adenomas and adenocarcinomas in plain and three-phase enhanced scan were analyzed with independent sample t tests. The data of the parameters with significant differences were further analyzed by ROC curves. Results The maximum diameters of the adenomas and mass type adenocarcinomas were (1.97 ± 0.54), (2.32±0.53) cm respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference (t=-2.011, P=0.051). There was no statistically differences of the conventional polychromatic CT value and its pre-and postcontrast CT values between the two groups in 4 phases (P>0.05). However, in the arterial phase, the CT values of adenomas were significantly lower than those of adenocarcinomas at low (40, 50 keV) energy (P<0.05). The values did not differ significantly between these two groups at other phases (P>0.05). The slope of spectral curve and the iodine(water) concentration both showed significant differences in the arterial phase between the two groups (P<0.05), while they were not significantly different at other phases (P>0.05).The largest area under the ROC curve of the iodine(water) concentration in the arterial phase was 0.757 in differentiating adenomas and mass type adenocarcinomas, with sensitivity of 73.9%and specificity of 82.4%at the cut-off of 21.02 mg/cm3. Conclusion Spectral CT imaging is valuable in differentiating colorectal adenoma from mass type colorectal adenocarcinoma with the parameters of the arterial phase.

Objective To study the medical imaging findings and the pathological features of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (HIMT) using CT,MRI and histopathology.Methods The CT and MRI findings of 31 patients with HIMT which were confirmed by histopathology on surgically resected specimen were analyzed retrospectively.The location,size,shape,edge,density or signal,and contrast enhancement of these tumors were analyzed.Results The tumors were located in the right liver in 26 patients,in the left liver in 5 patients,and under the hepatic capsule in 27 patients.The tumors were solitary in 28 patients and multiple in 3 patients.The maximum diameter of the tumor ranged from 2.1 cm to 12.5 cm.The average diameter was (3.6 ± 1.2) cm.The tumors were round or oval in 21 patients and irregular in 10 patients.19 patients underwent CT examination and all tumors showed low density,with a CT value which ranged from 5 to 35HU.The average value was (27.6 ±5.3) HU.The density of tumors was homogeneous in 6 patients and inhomogeneous in 13 patients,and among these 13 patients,3 were alveolate.Twenty-one patients underwent MRI scan and all showed a low signal on T1WI,12 patients showed an equal signal and 9 patients showed a slightly higher signal on T2WI.In 6 patients the signals were homogeneous and in 15 patients they were inhomogeneous.On CT and MRI enhanced scans the whole tumor was enhanced in 12 patients,the edge was enhanced in 9 patients,the septum was enhanced in 8 patients and no enhancement was observed in 2 patients.Pathological examination under microscopy observed the presence of proliferation of spindle cells,chronic inflammatory cells which included the proliferation of lymphocytes,plasma cells and collagen fiber formation.The spindle cells had the characteristics of fibroblasts and myofibroblast cells.Immunohistochemical examination showed the wave type protein (Vimentin) was positive in 23 patients,the smooth muscle actin (SMA) was positive in 18 patients,the muscle actin (MSA) and the specificity of junction protein (Desmin) were positive in 12 patients,CD68 was positive in 4 patients,and the ALK,S-100 protein,CDll7 and CD35 were all negative.Conclusions The radiological features of CT and MRI plain scan varied.The patterns of contrast enhancement included full tumor filling,marginal enhancement,compartment enhancement,and no enhancement.The enhanced features varied from mild to moderate enhancement in the arterial phase,further enhancement in the portal phase and mild enhancement in the delayed phase.
