Objective To investigate the effect of pneumoperitoneum pressure during robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) on the function of the transplant kidney. Methods The data of 243 kidney transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed and divided into open kidney transplantation (OKT) group (n=105) and RAKT group (n=138). The RAKT group was further divided into 13 mmHg group (n=67) and 7 mmHg group (n=71) based on pneumoperitoneum pressure. The donor information, recipient's preoperative general data, intraoperative data, and postoperative recovery of the three groups were compared. In the RAKT group, the renal artery, segmental artery, interlobar artery, and venous flow velocity of the transplant kidney were measured using laparoscopic ultrasound. Results There was a statistically significant difference in donor types among the groups (P<0.05), while other donor information and recipient's preoperative general data showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in serum creatinine and complications at 30 days and 1 year postoperatively among the groups (all P>0.05). The OKT group and 7 mmHg group had more intraoperative urine output than the 13 mmHg group. Both RAKT groups had less intraoperative blood loss and shorter hospital stays than the OKT group, and longer operation times than the OKT group (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and hospital stay between the two RAKT groups (all P>0.05). The vascular flow velocity of the transplant kidney decreased at 13 mmHg compared to 7 mmHg pneumoperitoneum pressure, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions Controllable pneumoperitoneum pressure has a limited impact on the vascular flow velocity of the transplanted kidney. RAKT is a safe and effective surgical method under appropriate pneumoperitoneum pressure, and choosing a lower pneumoperitoneum pressure is more conducive to the early recovery of renal function postoperatively.

Objective:To investigate the impact of intraoperative multimodal neurophysiological monitoring combined with blood pressure precise control on incidence of acute cerebral infarction after carotid endarterectomy.Methods:A retrospective study was peformed; 305 patients with atherosclerotic stenosis of the carotid artery admitted to and accepted carotid endarterectomy in Department of Vascular Neurosurgery, Dong'e County People's Hospital from January 2020 to September 2023 were selected. Intraoperative multimodal neurophysiological monitoring combined with traditional empirical modalities for blood pressure control was applied to 153 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 (control group), and intraoperative multimodal neurophysiological monitoring combined with blood pressure precise control (based on monitored sensory or motor wave amplitude changes) was applied to 152 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to September 2023 (experimental group). Difference in postoperative acute cerebral infarction incidence between the 2 groups was compared.Results:The experimental group had significantly lower postoperative acute cerebral infarction incidence compared with the control group (4.6% vs. 13.0%, P<0.05). The experimental group had significantly lower postoperative asymptomatic acute cerebral infarction incidence compared with the control group (3.3% vs. 9.8%, P<0.05), while no significant difference was noted in postoperative symptomatic acute cerebral infarction incidence between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Intraoperative multimodal neurophysiological monitoring combined with blood pressure precise control can reduce the postoperative acute cerebral infarction incidence in patients accepted carotid endarterectomy, especacailly postoperative asymptomatic acute cerebral infarction incidence, thereby enhancing surgical safety.

Objective:To evaluate the mechanical performance of customized metal prosthesis with tibia stems of varying lengths for tibial bone defects reconstruction.Methods:Morphologically matched postoperative finite element models of bone defect revision were developed, with three gradients (15 mm, 30 mm, and 45 mm) according to the degree of bone defect and were reconstructed with 3D printed tantalum metal prosthesis using three tibial stem lengths (80 mm, 120 mm, and 150 mm), respectively. Conventional static and dynamic (walking gait) loading was performed to analyze the peak tibial stress distribution and accumulated sliding distance at the prosthetic interface, and to assess the effects of the three tibial stems of different lengths on the stability of the customized tibial defect restorations and the internal tibial stress state.Results:The peak accumulated sliding distance of the dynamically loaded morphologically matched restorations ranged from 17.94 to 21.31 mm with static loading, which were 68% to 84.3% higher than those of 10.26 to 11.69 mm with static loading. The peak tibial stresses in the dynamically loaded model were greater than those in the statically loaded model, with an increase of 28%-49.2%, including 132.94-143.88 MPa in the statically loaded model and 170.41-200.14 MPa in the dynamically loaded model. The overall accumulated sliding distance of the tibia prosthetic model gradually decreased from the tibial osteotomy surface, and the accumulated peak sliding distances ranged from 10.26 to 11.69 mm for static loading, and from 17.94 to 21.31 mm for dynamic loading. The bone tissue stresses in the anterolateral and medial-posterior tibia increased gradually from top to bottom, and the maximum stress value in each section was in the posterior medial tibia (the maximum value was 200.14 MPa). The highest bone tissue stress in the lateral tibia was affected by the tibial stem length, which resulted in a different location, and it was the area most affected by stress shielding (maximum value of 170.65 MPa).Conclusion:For stability assessment of morphologically matched tantalum customized prosthesis, physiological gait dynamic loading studies are more reliable than static loading; the choice of tibial stem length depends on a combination of accumulated peak sliding distances and tibial bone stress distribution factors.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Objective To explore the learning curve of robotic-assisted kidney transplantation(RAKT).Methods The clinical data of 96 consecutive RAKT patients performed by the same surgical team were retrospectively analyzed.The arterial anastomosis time,venous anastomosis time,ureteral anastomosis time,hospital stay,and blood loss were selected as evaluation indicators.The learning curve of RAKT was analyzed using the cumulative sum(CUSUM),and the curve was divided into the learning improvement stage and the proficient mastery stage according to the learning curve.The learning curve was verified by comparing the general data and surgical data of patients in different learning stages,and the clinical efficacy of each stage was analyzed.Results The optimal fitting equation of the learning curve reached its peak at the 33rd case,which was the minimum number of surgeries required to master RAKT.There was no statistically significant difference in age,gender,dialysis type,previous abdominal surgery history,number of donor renal arteries,and preoperative serum creatinine between the learning improvement group and the proficient mastery group(all P>0.05).Compared with the learning improvement stage,the body mass index(BMI)was higher,and the number of right donor kidney was increased compared to the left donor kidney in the proficient mastery stage(both P<0.05).There were no significant differences in arterial anastomosis time,ureteral anastomosis time,postoperative serum creatinine,and complications between the two groups(all P>0.05).The iliac vessel dissection time,warm ischemia time,venous anastomosis time,blood loss,and hospital stay in the proficient mastery stage were superior to those in the learning improvement stage,with statistically significant differences(all P<0.05).Conclusions RAKT requires at least 33 cases to cross the learning curve.There is no difference in complications and recovery of transplant renal function between the learning improvement stage and the proficient mastery stage.

Objective: To understand the allocation of health staff and clinics in primary and secondary schools in Guangdong Province, so as to provide a reference for school health construction. Methods: In December 2020, a total of 17 205 primary and secondary schools in 21 cities in Guangdong Province were investigated by combining document verification and on site surveys. The allocation of health staff and clinics in different cities and types of schools was analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. Results: The proportion of schools in Guangdong Province that met the national standard for school health staff ratio was 37.7%. Among different types of schools, the lowest ratio was found in nine year schools (33.1%), while the highest was in twelve year schools (61.3%). Among the 17 205 schools in the province, 12.6% had clinics with an area of >40 m 2, and 6.9% with occupational licenses for medical institutions. The proportion of full time health staff was 39.1%. Among all school health staffs, the proportions of permanent staff, temporary staff, and appointed staff were 47.5%, 29.0% and 23.6%, respectively. The rate of school health staff with professional qualifications was 44.9%, while 48.3% had graduated from medical related majors, and 20.9% held a bachelor s degree or higher as their first degree. There were differences among various types of schools, with primary schools having the lowest health staff configuration and professional level (24.0% and 35.7%, respectively). Conclusions There are still issues of insufficient staff and low professional level in health staff and establishment of clinics in primary and secondary schools in Guangdong Province, and the allocation is uneven across different types of schools. The allocation of clinics in the province is still in urgent need of improvement.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

Objective:To discuss dominant symptoms and compatibility rules of Dazhui(GV14) based on data mining.Methods:Literature related to Dazhui (GV14) was retrieved from CNKI, Wangfang, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) and Pubmed databases from January 1, 2012 to August 15, 2022, and the main symptoms of Dazhi (GV14) and the compatibility of acupoints were summarized. Gephi 0.9.5 software was used for complex network analysis to compare the treatment for dominant symptoms with single acupoint of Dazhi (GV14) and the compatibility of the acupoint. SPSS Modeler 18.0 software was used to analyze the association rules of acupoint combination based on Apriori algorithm. The clustering analysis of high frequency acupoints was carried out by SPSS Statistics 26.0 software.Results:A total of 722 articles were included, involving 732 prescriptions. The dominant symptoms of single acupoint were cervical spondylosis, acne, and cold; the treatment for dominant symptoms with compatibility included 14 types, such as cervical spondylosis, allergic rhinitis, ischemic stroke sequelae. The meridian compatibility was dominated by bladder meridian, and the frequency of yang meridians was higher than yin meridians. The compatibility of specific acupoints such as Xiahe acupoint, Beishu acupoint and Bahui acupoint were the main acupoints, and the high frequency acupoints were 33 acupoints such as Feishu (BL13), Baihui (GV20), Fengchi (GB20) and Zusanli (ST36), obtaining 4 series and 8 types of compatible combinations of Dazhui (GV14).Conclusions:Dazhui (GV14) is widely used in the treatment of internal diseases, such as respiratory diseases, nervous system diseases and vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis. It tends to be flexibly used with multiple compatibility and clustering combination of specific acupoints.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei （PMP） is a low-grade malignant mucinous tumour， which can be classified under the category of "tympanites" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed that yang deficiency of the spleen and kidney is the basis of the pathogenesis of postoperative PMP patients， and cold-phlegm and water are the main pathological products of PMP. The focus of postoperative treatment of PMP is to improve the postoperative clinical symptoms and phlegm-dampness constitution of patients， and to control the recurrence of PMP is the main difficulty of the treatment. It is proposed that warming and supplementing the spleen and kidney， dissolving phlegm and draining water should be the main treatment principle， prescribed by modified Fuzi Lizhong Pill （附子理中丸） plus Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤）， to achieve the purpose of improving the symptoms， enhancing the quality of life， and preventing the recurrence of the disease， and to provide ideas for postoperative treatment of PMP in clinic.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of low-dose and standard-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT vs. SD-RT) in the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer patients with positive human papillomavirus (HPV). Methods:All comparative studies of low-dose versus standard-dose radiotherapy in the treatment of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer were searched from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), CNKI, Chongqing VIP, and Wanfang databases from January 1, 2000 to February 9, 2023. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data were strictly screened, and the RevMan 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis.Results:A total of 8 studies were included. The pooled results showed that the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients in the LD-RT group were similar to those in the SD-RT group ( HR=0.83, 95% CI=0.59-1.18, P=0.31; HR=0.97, 95% CI=0.53-1.78, P=0.92), but the rate of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) insertion was significantly reduced ( RR=0.45, 95% CI=0.28-0.72, P=0.001). Conclusion:LD-RT yields similar efficacy and lower rate of PEG insertion compared with SD-RT in HPV-positive oropharyngeal neoplasm patients.
