Clinical application of 3D printing combined with 3D laparoscopy in partial nephron-sparing surgery for partial endogenous renal cell carcinoma / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical feasibility and effectiveness of 3-D printing (3DP) combined with 3-D laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (LNSS) for partial endogenous renal cell carcinoma.Methods A retrospective analysis was made of the clinical data of 79 patients with partial endogenous renal cell carcinoma who were admitted to our department from July 2015 to October 2018.There were 46 males and 33 females.Their average age was (50.9 ± 7.9) years old,ranged from 33 to 68 years old.Tumor stages were T1aN0M0 in 53 cases and T1bN0M0 in 26 cases.The preoperative serum creatinine ranged from 40 to 107 μmol/L,with an average of (72.4 ± 14.2) μmol/L.The preoperative GFR ranged from 19 to 54 ml/min,with an average of (40.2 ± 6.2) ml/min.Thirty-four patients underwent 2-D laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (2DLNSS) based on preoperative enhanced CT scans.Forty-five patients underwent 3-D printing (3DP) based on three-dimensional reconstruction of renal CT scans.Seventeen patients underwent 2-D laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery guided by 3-D printing model(3DP-2DLNSS),and 28 patients underwent 3-D laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery guided by 3-D printing (3DP-3DLNSS).Serum creatinine levels ranged from 42 to 122 μmol/L with an average of (86.3 ± 14.8) μmol/L,and creatinine levels ranged from 8 to 66 μmol/L with an average of (19.1 ± 14.1) μmol/L.Six months after operation,the GFR of the kidney was 9-36 ml/min with an average of (21.4 ± 6.4)ml/min,and the fluctuation range was 6-40 ml/min with an average of (19.2 ± 8.8) ml/min.There was no statistical difference in the incidence of complications and pathological types after operation.Results There was no statistical difference in general data of preoperative patients.In intraoperative and post-operative statistics,the time of exploring renal artery was shorter than that of 2DLNSS (33.7 ± 7.5) min in 3DP-2DLNSS (28.3 ± 8.2,P =0.015) min and 3DP-3DLNSS (27.8 ± 6.5,P =0.002) min.In tumor detection time,3 DP-2DLNSS was shorter than 2DLNSS group (41.2 ± 6.6 vs.46.5 ± 6.9 min,P =0.012),and 3 DP-3DLNSS was shorter than 3DP-2DLNSS (35.4 ± 7.3 vs.41.2 ± 6.6 min,P =0.009).In warm ischemia time,3DP-2DLNSS min was shorter than 2DLNSS (23.5 ±9.7 vs.33.9 ±7.5 min P ＜0.001),and 3DP-3DLNSS was shorter than 3DP-2DLNSS (18.3 ± 4.6 vs.23.5 ± 9.7,P =0.023).In surgical time,3DP-2DLNSS (115.7 ± 23.0) min and 3DP-3DLNSS (103.3 ± 22.8) min were shorter than 2DLNSS (132.4 ± 28.9) min (P =0.031,P ＜ 0.001).In intraoperative bleeding volume,3 DP-3 DLNSS was less than 2DLNSS (117.9 ± 17.9 vs.130.6 ± 16.8,P =0.009) ml.Fasting for 1 to 4 days after operation,with an average of (1.7 ± 0.8) days.The indwelling catheterization ranged from 1 to 8 days after operation,with an average of (3.9 ± 1.3) days.Negative pressure drainage was removed 2-9 days after operation,with an average of (4.9 ± 1.4) days.And the hospitalization 5-11 days after operation,with an average of (7.3 ± 1.5) days.Conclusions Preoperative 3D printing combined with intraoperative 3D laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery for partial endogenous renal tumors is safe and effective,which is superior to the previous CT scan alone and intraoperative 2D laparoscopic treatment.

Impacts of emotion intelligence and gender on the process of emotion regulation / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To investigate the impacts of emotion intelligence and sex difference on the process of emotion regulation.Methods The reaction time and the strength of emotion regulation were recorded in the emotion perception and emotion regulation task.Results The males with higher EI scores reacted more quickly in emotion perception and were more efficient in positive emotion regulation than those with lower EI scores (reaction time:(1 821±120) ms ＜ (2 320±133)ms,F(1.87)=3.87,P=0.049;strength of emotion regulation:2.11 ± 0.21 ＞ 0.81 ± 0.23;F(1,87) =17.31,P＜ 0.001),while the females with higher EI scores reacted more slowly in emotion perception and were more efficient in negative emotion regulation than those with lower EI scores (reaction time:(2 250± 110) ms ＞ (1 939± 115) ms,F(1,87) =6.73,P =0.011;strength of emotion regulation:1.60±0.18 ＞ 0.7±0.18;F(1,87)=12.12,P=0.001).Conclusion The results showed that for men,the EI was associated with efficiency in processing emotion and regulating positive emotions,while for women,the EI was associated with efficiency in regulating negative emotions.

Surgical strategy in treating synchronous sporadic bilateral renal cell carcinoma / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To evaluate the impact of different surgical approach on postoperative renal function in patients with synchronous sporadic bilateral renal cell carcinoma ( SSBRCC) .Methods The medical records of 28 patients with SSBRCC were reviewed.Of all these cases, 21 patients were male and 7 were female, and the mean age was 51 ( 25-63 ) years.None of these cases had family history of renal carcinoma.The treatment and other clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.Results All of the 28 patients underwent bilateral surgeries.Single procedures were performed on 16 patients, of which, one underwent bilateral radical nephrectomy ( RN) , 8 bilateral nephron-sparing surgery ( NSS) and 7 unilateral NSS combined with contralateral RN.Staged procedures were performed on 12 patients, of which bilateral NSS was on 5 patients (NSS-NSS group), NSS followed by RN (NSS-RN group) on 3 patients and RN followed by NSS ( RN-NSS group) on 4 patients.In term of postoperative renal function preservation for SSBRCC patients, the standard NSS was better than RN.Between different staged procedures, NSS-NSS was the preferred choice, and the NSS-RN was superior to the RN-NSS.Conclusions In term of preservation of postoperative renal function, the staged procedures were recommended, and NSS was preferred in the first stage.In deciding the second stage surgical approaches, the surgeons should take the renal function preservation and the tumor size into consideration.
