Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of labial mucosa graft coupled preputial island flap urethroplasty for recurrent penile curvature after hypospadias repair.Methods:The data of 35 patients with recurrent penile curvature after hypospadias repair who underwent labial mucosa graft coupled preputial island flap urethroplasty in four hospitals from January 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The median age of the patients was 15(13, 18)years old, five of them had penile dehiscence, and four had urethrocutaneous fistula. All patients received labial mucosa graft coupled preputial island flap urethroplasty, the penile flexion was confirmed by artificial erection test, and the urethra is obliquely cut at the most obvious curvature of the penis. By removing the ventral fibrotic scar tissue, the length of the urethral defect was measured. The urethral plate was reconstructed with the same length of labial mucosa graft and an adjacent preputial island flap was transplanted to cover the reconstructed urethra plate to form a new urethral lumen. The inner urethral stent tube was extracted three days after the operation, and the outer urethral stent tube was removed three weeks after the surgery. Diagnostic urethral exploration was performed 5 weeks post-operation, uroflowmetry examination was performed seven weeks after the procedure, and the perioperative and postoperative follow-up data were analyzed.Results:All patients underwent a successful surgery, with the average duration of the procedure being (114.7±20.1)minutes. After mean follow-up of (15.5±5.9)months, no penile curvature occurred, and 32 patients were successfully repaired. Uroflowmetry examination was achieved in 21 patients at the seventh week after surgery showed their mean maximum flow rate was (18.4±3.7)ml/s. Three cases (8.6%, 3/35) developed urethrocutaneous fistula, who were repaired successfully 6 months after surgery.Conclusions:Utilizing the combination of labial mucosa grafts and preputial island flaps for urethroplasty has been proven to be a reliable and safe option for individuals with recurrent penile curvature following hypospadias repair, with a high success rate and few complications.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the model repair strategy for preputial defect in hypospadias surgery.Methods:From February 2017 to December 2022, 59 children in our hospital with an average age of (6.9±3.2) years were retrospectively analyzed. All of them were children with multiple failed hypospadias operations. According to the condition of penile scrotum skin, different methods of penile skin reconstruction were selected. Among them, 20 patients underwent penile skin flap reconstruction with simple foreskin and multiple small incision reduction, 22 patients with penile and scrotal transposition underwent penile lateral scrotum flap to complete ventral penis coverage, and 12 patients underwent middle scrotum flap with pedicled flap to cover ventral urethra. The penis was covered by inferior epigastric artery perforator flap in 5 patients.Results:The wound healed completely one week after the operation and no obvious scar formation was observed. The ventral flap of the penis was covered by the lateral scrotal flap of the penis, and no flap necrosis and wound infection were observed. The ventral urethra was covered with pedicled skin flap in the middle scrotal suture. The flap survived without scrotal hematoma. The inferior epigastric artery perforator flap was used to cover the patients with penile defect, all the flaps survived, and no complications such as wound infection and abdominal hernia occurred. No urethral fistula or urethral diverticulum was reported in all the patients. Urethral stricture occurred in 1 case of scrotal suture pedicled flap group and 1 case of lateral penis scrotal flap group, which was cured after expansion. One case with small incision and one case with lateral scrotal skin were cured after secondary repair by Mathieu method.Conclusions:For children with a history of multiple hypospadias operations, coverage of ventral skin defects of the penis is essential to reduce complications and obtain good appearance. This study summarized four effective strategies for covering penile defect from simple to complex. The small incision was used to reduce the expansion of all flaps. The lateral penile scrotal flap is more suitable for patients with penile scrotal transposition. The pedicled flap of scrotal suture and inferior superficial artery perforator flap are suitable for the repair of larger defect area.

Objective:To explore the effect of systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new classification on primary hypospadias.Methods:The data of 689 patients with primary hypospadias admitted to Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2010 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of all, 349 cases from March 2010 to June 2016 were treated with traditional treatment methods, and 340 cases from July 2016 to June 2021 were treated with systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new hypospadias classification. Traditional treatment group of patients according to the European Society of Urology (EAU) guide classification, were divided into the distal-anterior type (located on the glans or distal shaft of the penis), intermediate-middle type (penile) and proximal-posterior type (penoscrotal, scrotal, perineal). For distal type, tubularized incised plate (TIP) or dorsal inlay urethroplasty (Inlay) was performed. Patients with intermediate-middle type underwent Inlay, and patients with proximal-posterior type underwent Bracka staging. In the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, hypospadias was reclassified into distal type (located on the glan or in the first third of the shaft of the penis), junctional type (the back two-thirds of the shaft of the penis and the base of the penis), and proximal type (scrotum or perineum). For distal type, TIP or Inlay was used. Patients with junctional type were treated with urethroplasty with union free graft and local flap method (Montage). Patients with proximal type were treated with Montage or Bracka staging. Patients with testicular volume <0.8 ml and glans width <1.0 cm were treated with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) before surgery. There were 349 patients in the traditional group, with an average age of (18.58±7.59) months. There were 157 cases of distal-anterior type, 47 cases of intermediate-middle type and 145 cases of proximal-posterior type. There were 181 cases with penile curvature < 30° and 168 cases with penile curvature ≥30°. There were 340 cases in the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, with an average age of (18.94±6.05) months. According to EAU classification, 160 cases were distal-anterior type, 42 cases were intermediate-middle type and 138 cases were proximal-posterior type. There were 197 cases with penile curvature < 30° and 143 cases with penile curvature ≥30°. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). The surgical methods, incidence of postoperative complications and the time of hospital stay between the two groups compared. The changes in penis size and testis volume before and after the use of hormones in the systematic treatment group were compared. Results:In the traditional group, 139 patients underwent TIP, 65 patients underwent Inlay, and 145 patients underwent Bracka staging. In the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, 187 cases were reclassified as distal type (153 cases underwent TIP and 34 cases underwent Inlay). Of the 69 cases of junctional type, 10 cases underwent Inlay, and 59 cases underwent Montage. Of the 84 cases of proximal type, 77 cases underwent Montage, and 7 cases underwent Bracka staging. There was significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.01). In the traditional group, there were 31 cases of urinary fistula (8.9%), 43 cases of urethral stricture (12.3%), 21 cases of urethral diverticulum (6.1%), 45 cases of penile recurvature (12.9%), and the total incidence of complications was 40.1% (140/349). There were 19 cases of urinary fistula (5.6%), 28 cases of urethral stricture (8.2%), 15 cases of urethral diverticulum (4.4%) and 24 cases of penile recurvature (7.1%) in the systematic diagnosis and treatment group. The total incidence of complications was 25.3%(86/340). There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of the above complications between the two groups ( P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the duration of hospital stay between the traditional group and the systematic diagnosis and treatment group [(4.3±1.2) d vs. (1.5±0.5) d, P=0.01]. The width of glans penis after HCG treatment was (1.35±0.14) cm, which was significantly higher than that before HCG treatment [(0.96±0.24) cm, P=0.03]. The length of penis [(2.55±0.19) cm vs. (2.29±0.16) cm] and the volume of testis [(0.76±0.24) ml vs. (0.64±0.15) ml] were not significantly different from those before treatment ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The new classification has clarified the choice of surgical methods, avoiding the amplification of surgical indications. The systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new classification has significantly improved the treatment effect of hypospadias and effectively reduced postoperative complications. It provides an optional diagnosis and treatment model for hypospadias.

AIM: To investigate the influencing factors of vault after the posterior chamber phakic refractive lens(PC-PRL)implantation for patients with super high myopia.METHODS: Retrospective case study. A total of 40 patients with super high myopia(77 eyes)who underwent PC-PRL implantation in the Haixiang Eye Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected. They were followed up for at least 2a, postoperative anterior segment parameters, such as the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central anterior chamber depth(ACD), anterior chamber volume(ACV), anterior chamber angle(ACA), lens thickness and vault were evaluated, and then the influencing factors of postoperative vault were analyzed.RESULTS: The UCVA and BCVA of the patients significantly improved after PC-PRL implantation(P<0.001). Average safety index(postoperative BCVA/preoperative BCVA)was 1.36±0.32, and average effective index(postoperative UCVA/preoperative BCVA)was 1.23±0.31 in 2a after surgery. The vault in 2a after surgery was correlated with preoperative ACD, ACV, ACA and lens thickness, and the preoperative ACV and lens thickness had significant impact on vault in 2a after surgery.CONCLUSIONS: The PC-PRL implantation is safe and effective in super high myopia, and it can significantly improve visual acuity. Furthermore, preoperative ACV and lens thickness are important influencing factors of postoperative vault.

Preterm birth is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates. Continuous quality improvement (CQI) can reduce clinically avoidable adverse events (neonatal death or severe morbidity) by changing and improving clinical practice to improve patient outcomes. Researches show that CQI can prevent severe morbidity, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, severe neurologic injury, retinopathy of prematurity, etc., in preterm infants. CQI reduces disease-related mortality and morbidity and eases the burden on society and family. As an effective method for further improving preterm infants' care quality in the neonatal intensive unit (NICU), the CQI has been widely adopted in developed countries and achieved significant results. The number of preterm infants in NICU is currently extensive in China, with an increased survival rate. However, severe morbidity is significantly higher than that in developed countries. There is an urgent need to establish an appropriate continuous quality improvement system in China regarding the critical issues to improve the outcomes of preterm infants in the NICU. We review the origin and history of CQI, its methodology and effects when applied to NICUs in developed countries, and its status, challenges, and prospects in Chinese NICUs.

Objective To evaluate if strategic urethrostomy could reduce complications in complicated hypospadias repair.Methods From January 2016 to August 2018,165 patients of complicated hypospadias were reviewed according to inclusion criteria.They were divided into three groups of one-stage repair (group A,n =86),two-stage repair using Bracka procedure (group B,n =49) and strategic urethrostomy (group C,n =30).The median age was 26 months in group A,24 months in group B and 28 months in group C.The median length of urethral defect was 3.0 (2.0-10.0) cm,4.0 (2.5-10.0) cm and 3.8(2.5-11.0) cm in the different three groups,respectively.No difference showed in age or length of urethral defect among 3 groups.Three groups were compared with rates of urethral fistula,urethral stricture and urethral diverticulum.Results After average of 20.0 months follow-up,the urethral stricture incidence of group C [3.3％ (1/30)] was significantly lower than that of group A [22.0％ (19/86),P =0.023] and group B[24.5％ (12/49),P =0.032].The complications were found in 7 patients with urethral fistula and 11 patients with urethral diverticulum in group A,4 patients with urethral fistula and 3 patients with urethral diverticulum in group B,none patient with urethral fistula nor urethral diverticulum in group C,respectively.The incidence of urethral fistula was 8.1％ (7/86),8.2％ (4/49) and 0 in the three groups,and the rate of urethral diverticulum was 12.8％ (11/86),6.1％ (3/49) and 0,respectively.None difference was shown neither in the incidence of urethral fistula nor urethral diverticulum among the three groups(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Strategic urethrostomy is a novel and effective method for complicated hypospadias repair.Application of strategic urethrostomy can significantly decrease urethral stricture and improve success rate in complicated hypospadias repair.

Objective: To investigate the effect of recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor 2 (rhKGF-2) on lung tissue of rabbits with severe smoke inhalation injury. Methods: A total of 120 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 5 groups by random number table after being inflicted with severe smoke inhalation injury, with 24 rats in each group. Rabbits in the simple injury group inhaled air, while rabbits in the injury+phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group inhaled 5 mL PBS once daily for 7 d. Rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group received aerosol inhalation of 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 (all dissolved in 5 mL PBS) once daily for 7 d, respectively. On treatment day 1, 3, 5, and 7, blood samples were taken from the ear central artery of 6 rabbits in each group. After the blood was taken, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the tracheal carina tissue and lung were collected. Blood pH value, arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO₂), arterial blood carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO₂), and bicarbonate ion were detected by handheld blood analyzer. The expressions of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A (SP-A) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in lung tissue were detected by Western blotting. Pathomorphology of lung tissue and trachea was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Data were processed with analysis of variance of two-way factorial design and Tukey test. Results: (1) Compared with those in simple injury group, the blood pH values of rabbits in the latter groups on treatment day 1-7 had no obvious change (P>0.05). The PaO₂ of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were (75.0±2.4) and (71.0±4.5) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively, which were significantly higher than (62.0±6.8) and (63.0±3.0) mmHg in simple injury group (q=4.265, 8.202, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The PaO₂ of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was (82.0±4.9) mmHg, which was significantly higher than that in simple injury group (q=6.234, P<0.01). Compared with that in simple injury group, the PaCO₂ of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 was significantly decreased (q=4.876, P<0.01) and significantly increased on treatment day 5 (q=5.562, P<0.01); the PaCO₂ of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group was significantly increased on treatment day 5 and 7 (q=5.013, 4.601, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with that in simple injury group, the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was significantly increased (q=5.142, P<0.01); the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were significantly increased (q=4.830, 6.934, P<0.01); the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 were significantly increased (q=3.973, P<0.05). (2) The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in simple injury group and injury+PBS group in each treatment time point were close (P>0.05). The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 were 0.091±0.007 and 0.101±0.009, respectively, significantly higher than 0.069±0.009 in simple injury group (q=10.800, 13.580, P<0.01). The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were 0.127±0.008, 0.132±0.006, 0.194±0.006, 0.152±0.017, 0.166±0.004, 0.240±0.008, significantly higher than 0.092±0.003 and 0.108±0.005 in simple injury group (q=6.789, 12.340, 17.900, 9.875, 31.480, 40.740, P<0.01). (3) On treatment day 1 and 5, there was no significant difference in the expression of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits among the 5 groups (P>0.05). Compared with those in simple injury group, the expressions of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 and 7 were significantly increased (q=4.243, 8.000, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the expression of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was significantly increased (q=20.720, P<0.01). (4) On treatment day 1, the injury of rabbits in each group was similar, with a large number of neutrophils infiltrated and abscess formed in the alveolar and interstitial tissue, thickened alveolar septum, some collapsed alveolar and atelectasis; large area of tracheal mucosa was degenerated and necrotic, with a large amount of inflammatory exudates blocking in the cavity. On treatment day 3, the inflammation of lung tissue and trachea in each group were improved, but the inflammation in simple injury group and injury+PBS group was also serious. On treatment day 5, the inflammation in lung tissue and trachea of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group were improved much obviously than those in the other groups. On treatment day 7, the inflammation in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group alleviated obviously than those in the other groups, most alveoli had no obvious exudative fluid, the alveolar cavity was intact and clear, the local alveolar dilated like a cyst, and the alveolar septum thinning; the improvement of inflammation of trachea was more obvious than the other groups, the tracheal mucosa tended to be more complete, and few neutrophils were infiltrated in the endotracheal cavity. Conclusions Atomization inhalation of rhKGF-2 can improve the PaO₂ level of rabbits with severe smoke inhalation injury, reduce airway inflammation, increase the expression of SP-A and VEGF in lung tissue, thus promoting the repair of lung tissue.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of monitoring drainage fluid parathyroid hormone (dPTH) for estimating the in situ reserves and function of the parathyroid by analyzing the change of serum calcium,serum parathyroid hormone(sPTH) and dPTH after thyroid surgery.Methods According to the operative method,the total of 144 patients with thyroid disease were divided into five groups:unilateral lobectomy,unilateral lobectomy plus isthmectomy with unilateral lymph node dissection,total thyroidectomy,total thyroidectomy with unilateral lymph node dissection,and total thyroidectomy with bilateral lymph node dissection group.The blood calcium,sPTH and dPTH level of patients were tested before operation and on the 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th day after operation.The depression of serum calcium,hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism were observed after operation.The serum calcium,serum PTH and dPTH level were summarized and analyzed statistically in order to evaluate the in situ reserves and postoperative function of the parathyroid.Results Among the 114 cases,the decline of serum calcium level mostly happened on the 2nd day after operation(70 cases,61.4％).There were 36 patients with hypocalcemia (31.58％) and 34 patients with hypoparathyroidism (29.82％).Serum calcium level increased gradually in all of the patients.Although sPTH level swung,it had a rising trend on the whole.The level of serum calcium and sPTH was positively correlated.The level of dPTH was discrete and decreased along with time.The decline level of dPTH among different groups had statistical difference.Conclusions It is a promising method to evaluate the in situ reserves and function of the parathyroid by monitoring the level and changes of dPTH after thyroid surgery,and it is of value for preventive calcium supplementation after thyroid surgery.
