In this paper, the characteristics, current status, and challenges of biodegradable stents were analyzed in order to conduct in-depth research in multiple aspects in the future and better apply them in the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases.

Objective To develop a machine learning （ML） model based on shear wave elastography （SWE） radiomics for predicting the risk of hepatic fibrosis progression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD）, aiming to reduce the necessity for surgery through early non-surgical interventions. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on SWE image data of 218 patients with T2DM and NAFLD. Liver region image segmentation and radiomics feature extraction were conducted using the 3D Slicer software. After feature selection, random forest, support vector machine, and extreme gradient boosting （XGBoost） were employed to build ML predictive models. The performance of the models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analyses （DCA） to determine the optimal ML predictive model. Results Among the 218 patients, 40 （18.3%） had an initial liver stiffness ≥ 6.5 kPa, indicating a risk of hepatic fibrosis. A total of 849 radiomics features were extracted from each segmented SWE image. After data standardization and feature selection, five radiomics features closely associated with hepatic fibrosis were identified. Three ML models were constructed based on these radiomic features, and the XGBoost model demonstrated optimal discriminatory ability, achieving an area under the ROC curve of 0.864. The calibration curve and DCA curve indicated that the model accurately predicted the risk of hepatic fibrosis when the predicted probability was within the range of 0.4-0.7. Conclusion This study has successfully trained and validated an XGBoost model based on hepatic SWE radiomics features, demonstrating its potential applicability in predicting the risk of hepatic fibrosis progression in T2DM patients with NAFLD.

Objective To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided lung recruitment strategy on vital signs and incidence of postoperative adverse reactions in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Methods Using a random number table,a total of 80 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy from March 2020 to March 2024 were selected and divided into two groups, with 40 patients in each group. Both groups received combined intravenous and inhalational anesthesia during surgery. On this basis, the control group received traditional lung recruitment maneuver during anesthesia recovery, while the observation group received ultrasound-guided lung recruitment strategy. Comparisons were conducted for the blood oxygen saturation （SpO₂）, mean arterial pressure （MAP）, heart rate （HR）, and arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspiratory oxygen （PaO₂/FiO₂） of the two groups at 5 min before anesthesia induction （T0）, before lung recruitment at the end of surgery （T1）, after lung recruitment （T2）, 30 min after extubation （T3）, and 1 d after surgery （T4）. The incidences of postoperative adverse reactions （atelectasis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, hypoxemia） were analyzed in the two groups. Results The incidence rates of postoperative adverse reactions were lower in the observation group than in the control group （P<0.05）. At T0 and T1, the SpO₂ levels between the two groups were not different （P>0.05）. At T2, T3, and T4, the SpO₂ levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group （P<0.05）. At T1 and T2, both groups showed a decrease in MAP and HR compared to T0 （P<0.05）. At T2 and T3, there was no significant difference in MAP and HR between the observation group and the control group （P>0.05）. At T2, T3, and T4, the PaO₂/FiO₂ levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group （P<0.05）. Conclusion The ultrasound-guided lung recruitment strategy for patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy does not affect the stability of vital signs, and can improve oxygenation and reduce postoperative adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the effect of lung pre-rehabilitation program combined with lung protective ventilation strategy on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients with esophageal cancer. Methods A total of 85 patients underwent endoscopic surgery （McKeown） in Weifang People's Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023 were enrolled in the study, and according to the method of random number table, divided into two groups. The control group （n=42） received routine preoperative health education, postoperative respiratory training, and complication prevention, with no specific recommendations for psychology, diet, and exercise. The pre-rehabilitation group （n=43） received a multimodal intervention program two weeks before surgery on the basis of the control group, including psychological counseling, nutritional guidance, respiratory training, and aerobic exercise. The primary endpoint was the incidence of pulmonary complications （pneumonia, atelectasis） within 7 d after surgery, and the secondary endpoints included lung function, thoracic drainage tube indwelling time, and length of hospital stay. Results There were no significant differences in age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists （ASA） classification, intraoperative blood loss, and operation time between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the incidence of postoperative pneumonia was lower in the pre-rehabilitation group （t=4.435, P=0.035）, while there was no significant difference in the incidence of atelectasis. The thoracic drainage tube indwelling time （P=0.006） and length of hospital stay （P=0.009） were shorter in the pre-rehabilitation group than in the control group. The forced vital capacity （FVC） was higher in the pre-rehabilitation group than in the control group 7 d after surgery （P=0.023）, but there was no significant difference in forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV₁） （P>0.05）. The platform pressure （Pplat） after artificial pneumothorax during surgery was significantly lower in the pre-rehabilitation group than in the control group （P<0.01）. Conclusion A two-week pre-rehabilitation combined with intraoperative lung protective ventilation strategy has significant benefits for patients with McKeown surgery, reducing postoperative pulmonary complications, thoracic drainage tube indwelling time, and hospitalization time.

Objective To study the efficacy advantages of flurbiprofen ester preemptive analgesia. Methods A total of 78 patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy in Jin'an District Hospital of Fuzhou City from April 2023 to April 2024 were selected and divided into a control group （39 cases, with an equal amount of saline intervention） and an observation group （39 cases, with intravenous injection of 1 mg/kg flurbiprofen ester diluted to 10 mL of normal saline before anesthesia） by random number table method. Baseline data were comparable between the two groups. Analgesic effect and safety were compared between the two groups. Results The mean arterial pressure and heart rate of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at the time of intubation and extubation （P<0.05）. The pain scores [visual analogue scale （VAS） scores] of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at 1 min after extubation, 5 min after extubation, and the time of leaving the anesthesia room （P<0.05）. The level of inflammatory factors in peripheral blood of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group on postoperative day 1 （P<0.05）, and the level of T cell subsets was significantly higher （P<0.05）. The overall postoperative incidence rate of adverse reactions of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group （P<0.05）. Conclusion The administration of flurbiprofen ester preemptive analgesia to laparoscopic hysterectomy patients is able to improve patients’ mean arterial pressure and heart rate, alleviate pain, reduce inflammatory factor levels, increase cellular immunity, and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions. It is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To analyze the effect of laparoscopic adrenalectomy on blood pressure in patients with adrenal hypertension, and to explore the related influencing factors of postoperative hypertension, so as to improve the clinical effect of the treatment of adrenal hypertension. Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with adrenal hypertension and laparoscopic adrenalectomy screened in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into a normal blood pressure group （n=50） and a hypertension group （n=50） according to blood pressure. All patients received adrenal CT examination, primary aldosteronism （PA） screening test, and adrenal venous blood sampling （AVS）. After half a year of follow-up, the general information, preoperative and postoperative blood pressure, antihypertensive drug use, blood potassium level, aldosterone level of the patients were collected, and the differences between the normal blood pressure group and the hypertension group were analyzed. Results The patients in the hypertension group were mostly male, with smoking history, drinking history, high body mass index （BMI）, bilateral tumors, PA and pheochromocytoma, large tumor, long operation time, large intraoperative blood loss, and poor medication compliance. Before operation, there was no significant difference in blood pressure, serum potassium level, and recumbent aldosterone level between the two groups （P>0.05）.Half a year after operation, the diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and recumbent aldosterone levels in the normal blood pressure group were lower than those in the hypertension group, and the serum potassium was higher in the normal blood pressure group （P<0.05）. Multivariate analysis showed that the patients who were elderly, high BMI, smoking history, drinking history, bilateral tumors, PA and pheochromocytoma in tumor tissue, and poor medication compliance had a higher risk of postoperative hypertension （P<0.05）. Conclusion Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has a significant impact on the blood pressure of patients with adrenal hypertension. The control of postoperative hypertension is related to a variety of factors, including age, BMI, smoking history, drinking history, the location and number of tumors, and medication compliance. Therefore, for these high-risk patients, postoperative monitoring and personalized management should be given more closely.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of holmium laser prostatectomy for the treatment of large volume benign prostatic hyperplasia （BPH）. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 73 patients with large volume BPH admitted from March 2021 to March 2024. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into an electric resection group and a holmium laser group. Among them,36 patients who underwent transurethral bipolar plasma resection of the prostate were assigned to the electric resection group, and 37 patients who underwent transurethral holmium laser prostatectomy were assigned to the holmium laser group. Surgical related indicators, prostate improvement, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups of patients. Results The surgery related time indicators in the holmium laser group were shorter than those in the electric resection group, and the intraoperative bleeding was less （P<0.05）. After treatment, the maxmium urine flow rate （Q_max） of patients in the holmium laser group was higher than that in the electric resection group, while the postvoid residual （PVR） and international prostate symptom score （IPSS） were lower （P<0.05）. After designed surgery, the incidence of complications in the holmium laser group was 8.11% （3/37）, which was not significantly different from the 13.89% （5/36） in the electric resection group （P>0.05）. Conclusion The use of holmium laser prostatectomy for the treatment of large volume BPH can shorten surgical time, reduce intraoperative bleeding volume, improve prognosis, and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. It is recommended to application.

Objective To compare the effects of percutaneous vertebroplasty （PVP） and percutaneous kyphoplasty （PKP） on osteoporosis combined with thoracolumbar fracture, and to analyze the incidence rates and factors affecting postoperative low back pain. Methods A total of 133 patients with osteoporosis combined with thoracolumbar fracture from January 2018 to January 2023 were selected as study subjects. In accordance with the surgical methods, they were divided into PKP group （n=70） and PVP group （n=63）. Postoperative rehabilitation indicators were compared between the two groups, including first off-bed time, hospitalization time, visual analogue scale （VAS） score at 1 d postoperatively, Cobb's angle at 3 months after operation, vertebral height at 3 months after operation and the incidence rate of low back pain at 3 months postoperatively. The spinal function index （SFI） and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association （JOA） were used to assess the lumbar spine function of the two groups of patients before surgery and at 3 months after operation. Among the 133 patients, 40 cases （30.08%） had pain after surgery, and the factors influencing the postoperative low back pain were analyzed. Results The differences in first off-bed time, hospitalization time, VAS score at 1 d postoperatively, Cobb's angle at 3 months after operation, vertebral height at 3 months after operation, and incidence rate of low back pain at 3 months postoperatively between patients in the PVP group and the PKP group were not statistically significant （P>0.05）.The differences in preoperative SFI and JOA scores between the two groups were not statistically significant （P>0.05）; the SFI and JOA scores of the two groups at 3 months postoperatively were significantly higher compared with preoperative scores （P<0.05）, but the differences between the groups were not statistically significant （P>0.05）. There were no significant differences in gender, age, body mass index （BMI）, surgical method, affected body part, anesthesia mode, combined hypertension, hyperlipidemia, other underlying diseases, and combined soft tissue injury between the non-low back pain patients and the low back pain patients （P>0.05）, but there were significant differences in preoperative bone mineral density （BMD）, Cobb's angle, combined diabetes mellitus, VAS scores, and fracture history between the non-low back pain patients and the low back pain patients （P<0.05）. The results of logistic regression showed that preoperative BMD, preoperative Cobb's angle, combined diabetes mellitus, and fracture history were independent risk factors for osteoporosis combined thoracolumbar fracture. Conclusion Both PVP and PKP treatments for osteoporosis combined thoracolumbar fractures can improve patients' lumbar spine function. Preoperative BMD, preoperative Cobb's angle, combined diabetes mellitus, and fracture history are the independent risk factors for postoperative low back pain in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture. Therefore, timely measures should be taken to prevent postoperative low back pain in such patients.

Objective To explore the application of modified Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy in gastric cancer surgery and its impact on gastrointestinal function. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 152 gastric cancer patients admitted to the General Surgery Department of Xiangzhou District People's Hospital in Xiangyang City from January 2020 to January 2023. They were divided into two groups with 76 patients in each group based on different surgical methods. The control group was treated with open surgery and Billroth Ⅰ anastomosis, while the observation group was treated with open surgery and modified Roux-en-Y anastomosis. The serum tumor marker levels [carcinoembryonic antigen （CEA）, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 （CA19-9）, carbohydrate antigen 125 （CA125）, alpha-fetoprotein （AFP）] before and after surgery, postoperative gastrointestinal function indicators, and incidence of complications 6 months after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the serum levels of tumor markers CEA, CA19-9, CA125, and AFP in the two groups were lower than those before treatment （P<0.05）, but no differences were found between the two groups （P>0.05）. After treatment, the observation group had longer postoperative exhaust, bowel sound recovery, first meal intake, and first bowel movement time than the control group （P<0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall incidence rate of complications such as anastomotic leakage, infection, gastric bleeding, intestinal obstruction, gastric paralysis, physical deterioration, and poor surgical incision healing between the two groups of patients （P>0.05）. Conclusion The modified Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy for patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions. However, it has a greater impact than Billroth Ⅰ anastomosis on the gastrointestinal tract of patients. In clinical practice, appropriate surgical methods should be selected based on the patient's condition to improve prognosis.

Objective To predict cervical cancer patients by endocervical curettage （ECC） during colposcopy, and evaluate the accuracy and diagnostic efficacy of ECC.

Objective To study the clinical effect of one-time radical operation on perianal abscess in children. Methods Seventy-five children with perianal abscess diagnosed and treated from January 2019 to December 2022 were selected and divided into a radical group （n=38） and a conservative group （n=37） according to random number table method. The conservative group was treated with conservative treatment, and the radical group was treated with one-time radical operation. The therapeutic effective rate, perianal function, complications, and other data were collected and analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in the therapeutic effective rate between the two groups （P>0.05）. There was no significant difference in perianal function scores before treatment, and after different treatments, the perianal function scores decreased in both groups, with no statistical difference between the two groups （P>0.05）. The complication incidence rate in the conservative group was lower than that in the radical group （P<0.05）. Conclusion In the treatment of children with perianal abscess, one-time radical surgery has the same effect as conservative treatment, but the risk of complications caused by conservative treatment is lower, so the conservative treatment is recommended to use in clinical treatment.

Obesity is a major factor leading to hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and diabetes, as well as one of the causes of male reproductive dysfunction, such as male obesity secondary hypogonadism （MOSH）, reduced sperm quality, and reduced quality of sexual life. For practical reasons, bariatric surgery is becoming increasingly accepted, and it is most effective in severely obese patients. Sleeve gastrectomy, as the mainstay of minimally invasive bariatric surgery today, has the advantages of low perioperative risk and good postoperative weight loss effect. This paper reviewed the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on obesity-mediated male reproductive dysfunction, with the aim of providing more references for the clinical application of bariatric surgery.

Objective To evaluate the application value of quality control circle （QCC） activities in reducing the management time of medical consumables for laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC） among nurses. Methods A QCC project team consisting of 9 relevant personnel was established, and the theme of the QCC activities was “Reduce the management time of LC medical consumables among nurses”. Using the inspection method, the average management time of LC medical consumables among nurses was identified. Through the fishbone diagram, the causes were analyzed, and the true causes were identified. After formulating countermeasures, the Deming cycle method was used to implement corrective measures. Results The QCC activities improved the sense of responsibility, happiness, enthusiasm, cohesion, harmony, communication and cooperation, quality control methods, and problem-solving abilities of the team members. The management time of medical consumables in the operating room was reduced from 11.7 min to 5 min, a reduction of 52.3%. Conclusion Through QCC activities, the management time of LC medical consumables among nurses is significantly shortened, with enhanced ability to quality control. The application of QCC in the field of improving consumables management during surgery is relatively rare, and this article can provide a useful reference for solving similar problems.

Conclusion The application of nursing quality management in digestive endoscopic therapy can reduce the infection rate of patients and further improve the efficiency and quality of medical intervention, which is worthy of promotion.

Idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis is a rare intestinal ischemic disease with non-specific clinical manifestations. Colonoscopy typically shows ischemia in the right colon, and CT scans typically reveal linear calcification in the mesenteric veins and their branches. While the exact cause and mechanism of the disease are not yet clear, there is some evidence suggesting a link to the damage to the vessel wall caused by geniposide. Sharing the diagnostic and treatment experience of this patient can help raise clinical awareness of idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis, leading to fewer misdiagnoses.
