Objective To observe the effects of a 1 470 nm semiconductor laser on vaporization cutting,coagulation,and thermal injury of ex vivo animal tissues,aiming to explore the feasibility of its application in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods The experimental group and control group were treated with HANS-D1 and ML-DD01FI 1 470 nm semiconductor laser therapy equipment,respectively.Fresh ex vivo pig bladder tissue was exposed to lasers with the optical fiber placed at distances of 0.5 cm and 1 cm from the tissue for 5 s.The effects of layers at powers of 60,90,120,150,and 160 W on tissue injury were observed.Ex vivo dog prostate and pig kidney tissues were used for vaporization ablation and cutting to observe the effects of lasers at the same power levels on tissue vaporization and cutting thermal injury.Additionally,in coagulation mode,the effects of 30,40,and 50 W semiconductor lasers on tissue coagulation were observed after irradiating ex vivo pig kidney tissue for 5,10,and 15 seconds.Results When the optical fiber was placed 1 cm away from the tissue,the 1 470 nm semiconductor lasers did not cause accidental damage to adjacent normal bladder tissue.However,at a distance of 0.5 cm,the 120 W,150 W,or 160 W lasers caused slight damage to the bladder tissue.In addition,with the increase in output power,the vaporization ablation efficiency of 60-160 W lasers on dog prostate tissue gradually increased,showing a good linear correlation between vaporization volume and total energy consumption(P＜0.001).Histopathological HE staining results indicated that the coagulation layer thickness in the experimental group was 292.20-309.98 μm,and the vaporization layer depth was 1.49-4.52 mm.In the control group,the coagulation layer thickness was 289.91-303.53 μm,and the vaporization layer depth was 1.88-4.43 mm.There was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Moreover,when performing vaporization cutting on ex vivo pig kidney tissue with a cross-sectional area of 1 cm2,the efficiency of vaporization cutting by the 60-160 W 1 470 nm semiconductor lasers increased with the increase in output power(P＜0.05).The coagulated layer thickness in the experimental group was 496.04-514.47 μm,while that in the control group was 489.39-518.53 μm.Additionally,in coagulation mode,when ex vivo pig kidney tissue was irradiated for 5,10,and 15 s with 30,40,and 50 W semiconductor lasers,the coagulation diameter,groove depth,and coagulation efficiency gradually increased with the increase in laser output power(P＜0.05).The coagulation layer thickness in the experimental group and control group was 399.10-449.98 μm and 392.97-447.65 μm,respectively,and the vaporization layer depth was 3.05-7.09 mm and 2.70-7.14 mm,respectively.There was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The 1 470 nm semiconductor laser shows good vaporization ablation,cutting,and coagulation effect on ex vivo tissues,with a good linear correlation between the effect and the output energy.

Objective To discuss the feasibility,safety and surgical effect of the modified Prolene thread double-headed needle"U-shaped"suture combined with extra-and intracavity combination knotting method in thoracoscopic diaphragm plication in the treatment of diaphragmatic eventration in infants.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 70 infants who underwent thoracoscopic diaphragm plication in the treatment of diaphragmatic eventration in our hospital from May 2010 to May 2022.According to the different methods of suturing and knotting,the patients were divided into the improved group(modified Prolene thread double-headed needle"U-shaped"suture combined with extra-and intracavity combination knotting method,n =30)and the conventional group(intracavity suture knotting method,n = 40).The perioperative indicators,as well as whether there was knot loosening or recurrence of diaphragmatic eventration,were compared between the two groups.Results All the 70 operations were performed safely and successfully,without conversion to open surgery.The operation time in the improved group was significantly less than that in the conventional group[(35.3±7.4)min vs.(64.7±10.8)min,t =13.521,P =0.000].There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of intraoperative bleeding volume,indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube,postoperative hospital stay,preoperative,intraoperative,and postoperative pH values,PO2,and PCO2 in arterial blood gas,and postoperative slight diaphragm elevation(P>0.05).All the 70 cases were followed up for 6-24 months postoperatively,with a median follow-up time of 12 months,having no knot loosening or recurrence of diaphragmatic eventration.No death was reported.Conclusions The modified Prolene thread double-headed needle"U-shaped"suture combined with extra-and intracavity combination knotting method in thoracoscopic diaphragm plication in the treatment of diaphragmatic eventration in infants is safe,feasible,effective,and easy to operate.Doctors with a certain endoscopic surgery experience can master it quickly,which is suitable for promotion in qualified hospitals.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of cartilage injury and inflammation in the WHBE rabbit KOA model and the effect of platelet-rich fibrin releasates(PRFr)treatment on the KOA process,we established a WHBE rabbit KOA model by excision of medial collateral and partial patellar ligaments and administered a PRFr solution.Methods Twenty-four WHBE rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:normal control(NC)group(n=6),model(KOA)group(n=12),and cure(PRFr)group(n=6).KOA and PRFr groups were injected with 0.5 mL saline and PRFr into both joint cavities on 7 and 14 postoperative days,respectively.At 4 and 8 weeks of modeling,the knee joint grade scoring,X-ray imaging,and gross scoring were performed.Serum levels of IL-1β,TNF-α,and MMP-13 were measured by ELISA.At 4 weeks,6 animals in the KOA group were euthanized,and at 8 weeks,the remaining animals in each group were euthanized.Pathological sections were prepared after decalcification,and then HE,toluidine blue,and safranin O-fast green staining and immunohistochemical analysis of TGF-β,BMP3,and NF-κB were conducted.Results The Lequesne MG behavioral score,Mankin's score,and Pelletier score of WHBE rabbits after the operation were significantly increased compared with the NC group(P＜0.01).Pathological observations revealed surface defects of the cartilage and partial loss of chondrocytes.These result indicated that the KOA model was established successfully.In KOA rabbits,knee joint swelling,joint pain stimulation,and movement limitation were obvious.X-rays showed a high-density soft tissue shadow,indicating more joint effusion and a rough articular surface in general.After PRFr treatment,the serum levels of proinflammatory factors IL-1β,TNF-α,and MMP-13 in KOA model rabbits were significantly reversed(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Additionally,the cartilage surface became smooth,and most chondrocytes were neatly distributed.Expression levels of TGF-β,BMP3,and NF-κB induced by KOA were also significantly decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusions We successfully established a KOA model in WHBE rabbits,and PRFr improved the cartilage injury and inflammation of the WHBE rabbit KOA model through TGF-β/BMP and NF-κB pathways.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a 1470 nm semiconductor laser therapeutic instrument(referred to as a curestar therapeutic instrument)for prostatectomy in Beagle dogs.Methods Twenty-eight adult male Beagle dogs were randomly divided into three groups:sham(n=3),experimental(n=15),and control(n=10).The experimental group was further divided into three subgroups:120 W/50 W,150 W/50 W,and 160 W/50 W for vaporization cutting/coagulation hemostasis.The control group was divided into two subgroups:120 W/50 W and 150 W/50 W with five in each subgroup.Experimental and control groups underwent canine prostatectomy through the entrance of the bladder neck under electrocision.The operational suitability and effectiveness of the product during surgery were assessed.After the operation,the general condition of the dogs was observed,and blood biochemical and hematological indicators were measured before,immediately after,and at 3,7,and 28 days after the operation.At 1 h and 4 weeks after surgery,B-ultrasound and electric resection were performed under anesthesia to observe the conditions of the urethra and prostate,and prostatic tissue was subjected to HE staining for pathological observations.The thickness of the coagulation layer at 1 h after the operation and repair of the urothelial epithelium at 4 weeks were analyzed.Results During the operation,experimental and control groups had good operability and showed good vaporization cutting and coagulation hemostasis performance.After the operation,no significant effects were observed on the general condition,and blood biochemical and hematological indicators of the dogs.Ultrasound showed that the urethral expansion was visible immediately after the operation,and the echo of the urethral epithelium was slightly enhanced.At 4 weeks,the prostate tissue had a slightly low echo with uniformly distributed small point-like echoes inside,and the capsule had a linearly high echo,consistent with the sham group.The weight of the vaporized prostate tissue in experimental and control groups was 0.91～1.33 g with a resection rate of 17.11％～20.27％.As the power of vaporization cutting increased,the laser emission time gradually decreased,while the vaporization cutting speed and efficiency both increased.However,no significant difference was found between experimental and control groups(P＞0.05).Under the electrocision microscope,a burn-like change was observed in the surgical wounds of the prostate urethra in experimental and control groups at 1 h after surgery,and the boundary between the wound and normal urothelium was visible.At 4 weeks,the urothelium of the prostate had been repaired and flattened,and the boundary with the surrounding normal urothelium was blurred.Similarly,pathological observations showed that experimental and control groups had significant damage to the prostate urethral orifice at 1 h after surgery with a small amount of carbonization and coagulative necrosis on the surface of the wound,a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration,and a coagulation layer thickness of approximately 0.4 mm.At 4 weeks,the prostate urethral morphology of the sham group was normal,whereas experimental and control groups showed new epithelial growth covering the wound with a uniform thickness and no coagulative necrosis tissue attached to the wound.A mild inflammatory reaction was still present in the surrounding area,fibroblast proliferation was obvious,and stromal and epithelial cell proliferation was visible in the surrounding prostate,some of which showed squamous metaplasia.The prostate capsule was intact and the morphology of the surrounding nerves and blood vessels was normal.Conclusions The curestar therapy instrument is effective for prostatectomy in Beagle dogs with good vaporization cutting and coagulation hemostasis performance.No significant difference was found in postoperative physiological indicators compared with the sham group.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of intelligent pressure controlled retrograde renal surgery(IRIRS)for the treatment of 2-3cm kidney stones.Methods Totally 110 patients with renal stones with a diameter of 2-3cm admitted to Ganzhou People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were randomly divided into IRIRS group and control group(microchannel percutaneous nephrolithotomy with vacuum aspiration),with 55 cases in each group.The surgical time,rate of stone clearance,hemoglobin decrease,scores for postoperative pain,hospital stay and incidence of complications were systematically compared between the two groups.Results The surgical time and stone clearance rates at four weeks post-operation did not exhibit any statistically significant differences between the IRIRS group and the control group(P>0.05).The hospitalization time,hemoglobin decrease,and scores for postoperative pain in the IRIRS group were notably lower compared to the control group,with these differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).The difference in total postoperative complication rates between the IRIRS and control groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion IRIRS is an effective and safe method for treating renal stones with a diameter of 2-3 cm,meriting broader clinical adoption and application.

The condition of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) complicated by corona virus 2019 disease (COVID-19) is complex. sTBI can significantly increase the probability of COVID-19 developing into severe or critical stage, while COVID-19 can also increase the surgical risk of sTBI and the severity of postoperative lung lesions. There are many contradictions in the treatment process, which brings difficulties to the clinical treatment of such patients. Up to now, there are few clinical studies and therapeutic norms relevant to sTBI complicated by COVID-19. In order to standardize the clinical treatment of such patients, Critical Care Medicine Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on clinical treatment of adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury complicated by corona virus infection 2019 ( version 2023) based on the joint prevention and control mechanism scheme of the State Council and domestic and foreign literatures on sTBI and COVID-19 in the past 3 years of the international epidemic. Fifteen recommendations focused on emergency treatment, emergency surgery and comprehensive management were put forward to provide a guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of sTBI complicated by COVID-19.

The acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults have a higher rate of neurological injury and early death compared with atlas or axial fractures alone. Currently, the diagnosis and treatment choices of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults are controversial because of the lack of standards for implementation. Non-operative treatments have a high incidence of bone nonunion and complications, while surgeries may easily lead to the injury of the vertebral artery, spinal cord and nerve root. At present, there are no evidence-based Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults. To provide orthopedic surgeons with the most up-to-date and effective information in treating acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field of spinal trauma to develop the Evidence-based guideline for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults ( version 2023) by referring to the "Management of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults" published by American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) in 2013 and the relevant Chinese and English literatures. Ten recommendations were made concerning the radiological diagnosis, stability judgment, treatment rules, treatment options and complications based on medical evidence, aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation and influencing factors of health service demands of new residents in Shanghai. MethodsFrom July to August 2020， a questionnaire survey was conducted in 1 358 new residents from 36 survey points in 7 districts of the city. The questionnaire included the basic medical insurance coverage in the inflow area， the current situation of medical demand and related influencing factors， and the demands for other health services. Results47.1%（562/1 194）of new residents did not choose to seek timely medical treatment when they were not feeling well. The main reason was that the working hours occupied the medical treatment time. Logistic regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting the medical needs in new residents were the average daily working hours， living area and type of residence， health status， physical examination and physical exercise， and the type of basic medical insurance. The demands of new residents for "health consultation of common diseases and frequently occurring diseases"， "health behavior intervention （such as smoking cessation and alcohol restriction）"， "medical guidance and publicity"， "accidental injury prevention （traffic， work， falling， etc.）" and "maintenance of legitimate rights and interests of health" were 57.1%（682/1 194）、41.3%（493/1 194）、34.9%（417/1 194）、32.2%（385/1 194） and 31.9%（381/1 194）， respectively. ConclusionNew residents demands for medical services cannot be met. We should actively improve the working and living conditions of new residents， improve the construction of new residents' health service system， and improve the utilization level of health services.
